Scars remain for San Bruno survivors


One year after explosion and fire,hundreds still struggling to rebuild their lives
By Garance Burke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The young man staggered into his neighbors driveway, his body still smoking from the explosion that mangled his torso and sparked a gas-fueled reball rising fast above San Bruno.

His girlfriend had been at his side but was nowhere to be seen as he collapsed into his neighbors car. Somehow they kept him lucid in the back seat, even as Joseph Ruigomez shut his eyes against the pain and the ames tearing through their street. I kept telling Joe, Dont close

your eyes, said Tammy Zapata, who lives only a block from the site where a massive gas transmission line ruptured the evening of Sept. 9, 2010. We kept praying for him the whole way to the emergency room. One year after the explosion in San Bruno, Zapata, Ruigomez and hundreds of other survivors are still

struggling to rebuild their lives. Eight people were killed, dozens were injured and 38 homes overlooking Bay were torched to the ground. The nations deadliest gas explosion in a decade sparked a blaze that spread across 15 acres and left a 26-foot wide crater that

Doctors give back


Volunteers keep free health clinic running,reducing ER visits

San Mateo County residents have one last shot to offer input on how the Board of Supervisors redraw district lines, a change that could potentially affect elections for a decade until the next census data is available. The county is holding a public hearing Wednesday afternoon on redistricting. Although the proposed boundaries are not yet available, they will be by the time the Board of Supervisors discusses the nal proposals at its Sept. 13 meeting. The Sept. 7 public hearing is the last chance for the public to tell an ad hoc committee how they think

the supervisorial districts should be drawn. The committee will likely ask for proposed maps to be drawn up based on that input and ideas suggested at previous meetings, said county spokesman Marshall Wilson. One of the big ideas was not

Juan Carlos Garcia Santico took a short break from work Thursday afternoon to see the doctor. Hes got a small, extra patch of skin near his eye. Santico isnt sure if he should be concerned, but either way its uncomfortable. After a short wait, Dr. Peter Webb, a local dermatologist who volunteers at the Samaritan House Free Medical Clinic in San Mateo, can see Santico. Good news, Webb

shared with his patient. Theres nothing cancerous about the patch of skin. If its uncomfortable, which Santico said it was, it could be frozen off. Within moments, Webb had the tools out to make that happen. Santico seems happy throughout his entire visit. Hes grateful for the opportunity to have medical attention and notes how during each visit everyone he encounters is kind from the secretary to the person taking his blood pressure. Santicos visit is one of 5,000

patient visits handled annually by the Samaritan House Free Medical Clinic in San Mateo. Donations are key to running the organization. Everything from the furniture to the cash needed to run the day-to-day operations are donated. Recently, the clinic received a $40,000 grant from the Blue Shield of California Foundation to help those efforts. Medical director Stuart Viess explained the clinic works with adults who are not eligible for insurance. Patients have access to med-

THAT SCRAMBLED WORD GAME
by David L. Hoyt and Jeff Knurek

President William McKinley was shot and mortally wounded by anarchist Leon Czolgosz at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, N.Y. In 1711, Henry Muhlenberg, the patriarch of the Lutheran Church in America, was born in Einbeck, Hanover, Germany. In 1861, Union forces led by Gen. Ulysses S. Grant occupied Paducah, Ky., during the Civil War. In 1916, the rst self-service grocery store, Piggly Wiggly, was opened in Memphis, Tenn., by Clarence Saunders. In 1939, the Union of South Africa declared war on Germany. In 1948, Princess Juliana of the Netherlands was inaugurated as queen, two days after the abdication of her mother, Queen Wilhelmina. In 1949, Howard Unruh, a resident of Camden, N.J., shot and killed 13 of his neighbors. (Found to have paranoid schizophrenia, Unruh was conned for the rest of his life; he died in a Trenton nursing home in 2009 at age 88.) In 1966, South African Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd was stabbed to death by an apparently deranged page during a parliamentary session in Cape Town. In 1970, Palestinian guerrillas seized control of three U.S.bound jetliners. (Two were later blown up on the ground in Jordan, along with a London-bound plane hijacked on Sept. 9; the fourth plane was destroyed on the ground in Egypt. No hostages were harmed.) In 1985, all 31 people aboard a Midwest Express Airlines DC9 were killed when the Atlanta-bound jetliner crashed just after takeoff from Milwaukees Mitchell Field. In 1991, the Soviet Union recognized the independence of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. Russian lawmakers upheld a decision by residents of Leningrad to restore the citys pre-revolutionary name, St. Petersburg. Ten years ago: In a dramatic shift, the Bush administration abandoned the Clinton-era effort to break up Microsoft. Mexican President Vicente Fox addressed a joint session of the U.S. Congress, urging greater trust between the neighboring countries as the basis for a new partnership in North America.

Black Widow eats 183 chicken wings in contest
BUFFALO, N.Y. The Black Widow of eating contests has scarfed down 183 chicken wings in 12 minutes to break her own world record set last year in Buffalo, N.Y. Sonya Thomas took home rst place Sunday at the tenth annual National Buffalo Wings Festival. She beat eating marvel Joey Jaws Chestnut, who came in second with 174 wings. The two won titles at the July Fourth hot dog eating contest on Coney Island. The 100-pound Thomas of Alexandria, Va., is the reigning wingeating champion. She downed 181 wings to win the 2010 contest. Chestnut of San Jose settled for second with 169 wings. The winner gets $1,500. The runnerup wins $750, and third place gets $300. Thomas is called the Black Widow becomes she often beats male competitors in eating contests. say a toy poodle saved a life in Utah by leading reghters through his owners smoke-lled home to a man asleep in the basement. The Salt Lake Tribune reports that the dog named Ted was spotted by paramedics responding to the re in West Jordan early Friday. Ofcials say that when they tried to catch Ted to bring him outside, he headed downstairs instead. They say he waited until they caught up with him, then led them to a 19-yearold man who was sleeping on a couch in the basement. Authorities say the man was treated for smoke inhalation and the dog was not injured. A woman and two children had already escaped the re, which was possibly caused by a gas leak. Yvonne had shown up on her farm in the Muehldorf area, near the Austrian border. One of the sanctuarys employees was able to conrm Yvonnes identity with the help of her ear tag. The brown dairy cow escaped from a Bavarian farm in May, then hid in forests. A few days later, she was involved in a near-collision with a police car, and local authorities labeled her a public danger.

JUNEAU, Alaska A Juneau, Alaska, woman says she knows it was stupid to punch a black bear in the snout to save her dog. But Brooke Collins says the attack happened so fast that all she could think about is keeping her dachshund, Fudge, from being killed. The 22-year-old says as soon as she let her dogs out Sunday, Fudge started barking and she saw the bear carrying him like a salmon. Collins told the Juneau Empire she did the first thing she thought of and punched the bears face and scooped away her dog when it let go.

The current chair of San Mateos Planning Commission, Maureen Freschet, will join Mayor Jack Matthews on the council next year as neither face competition for two open seats as John Lee is being termed off the council after serving the city for 12 years. Voters in San Mateo, however, will be asked to decide whether to amend the citys affordable housing portion of its General Plan by voting on Measure G. If Measure G is approved, San Mateo will be authorized to amend its General Plan and Municipal Code to provide a housing impact fee and fee refund incentive program for rental projects agreeing to provide below market rate units. The voter-driven initiative approved in 2004 by San Mateo residents, Measure P, requires developers provide 15 percent of new units be

set aside at below-market rates. But in a 2009 case, Palmer v. the city of Los Angeles, a federal judge ruled Los Angeles BMR housing requirement could not be imposed because it violates California Civil Code. Maureen The ruling has sent Freschet cities across the state scrambling to amend ordinances that require such inclusionary housing to comply with the court decision. Measure G will allow the city to construct BMR units despite the court ruling. Matthews, an architect, led the effort to put the measure on the ballot as the city has several affordable housing developments in the works that could be impacted by the Palmer decision.

Matthews, 65, has served on the council for two terms already, and will walk back onto the council for a third and nal term without facing any competition. Freschet, 57, is the executive director of communiJack Matthews ty relations for Notre Dame de Namur University and vice chair of the Planning Commission.

Lawmakers focus on jobs as session draws to an end

Throughout February, Brewer Island students collected quarters for the Together We Can Make A Wish Come Trueproject for the Bay Area Make-A-Wish Foundations second Pocketful of Wishes Drive.
rewer Island Elementary School students, teachers and community members joined efforts with the Greater Bay Area Make-A-Wish Foundation to participate in their second Pocketful of Wishes Drive during the month of February. Beginning in January, Student Council members and fifth-grade students actively created their 2011 drive. The young leaders wanted to fill the hearts of Brewer Island students, as well as bring their community together, to help make a wish come true for a special child with a life threatening illness. Soon the 2011 theme, Together We Can Make A Wish Come True came to life. Throughout February, Brewer Island students collected quarters and scotch taped them to heart pockets, brought them to school and happily deposited them in coin banks, which each class hosted for the month. For each dollar collected, students received a paper heart that teachers put in their windows. As the drive progressed, all of the Brewer Island windows began to overflow with love, as red and pink hearts of all shapes and sizes decorated the windows across the campus. As February and the Together We Can Make A Wish Come True Drive came to a close the Brewer Island students and community involvement was phenomenal. Together they collected $5,820. The fifthgrade class received donations of more than $3,000 collectively. There were nine other Brewer Island classrooms that collected $100 or more all thanks to students generous hearts. *** Diana Liao of Millbrae was named to the deans list for academic excellence for the fall 2010 semester at The Johns Hopkins University. To be selected for this honor, a student must earn a grade point average of 3.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale in a program of at least 14 credits with at least 12 graded credits.

Liao is the daughter of Allen and ShuMiao Liao and attended Mills High School. Liao, who is majoring in neuroscience and will graduate in May 2013. *** In April, the National Merit Scholarship Corporation officials released the names of the first group of winners in the 56th annual National Merit Scholarship Program.

SACRAMENTO, State lawmakers have addressed circumcision and foam takeout containers this year, but the states backsliding economy and dismal jobs outlook are dominating the end of the legislative session. Creating greater scrutiny of business regulations and keeping a surcharge that allows investment in alternative energy projects are included among the roughly 250 bills lawmakers are hurrying to nish before their Friday deadline for sending legislation to the governor. Democratic lawmakers have formed a rare alliance with business leaders to push a lastminute package of bills designed to make Californias regulatory environment friendlier to businesses. Gov. Jerry Brown, meanwhile, is proposing a tax plan in SB116 and AB1x40 that would close a corporate tax loophole on out-of-state companies while offering incentives for businesses to hire workers in the state. Even a late proposal to expedite potential environmental challenges to a planned $1.2 billion NFL stadium in downtown Los Angeles is being promoted as a way to create more than 23,000 construction and full-time jobs. Jobs, jobs and jobs, said state Sen. Alex Padilla as he introduced the stadium bill, SB292, with Assembly Speaker John Perez, a fellow Los Angeles Democrat. Among the most watched legislative battles is a Democratic attempt to strengthen a law enacted earlier this summer that forces online retailers such as Amazon.com to collect sales tax. The Internet retail giant is gathering signatures for a 2012 ballot referendum seeking to overturn the bill, but Democratic leaders hope to head off the challenge before they adjourn. Their bill, AB155, would nullify the Amazon referendum by making the Internet retailers tax an urgency measure taking effect immediately. A two-thirds majority vote in the Legislature is required to do so, but its unclear whether enough Republican lawmakers in either house will support it. Brown and his fellow Democrat, Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg of Sacramento, also are negotiating SB126 to help the states farm workers in the Legislatures

closing hours. Earlier this year, Brown vetoed a Steinberg bill that would have made it easier for unions to organize farm workers but which growers had characterized as a union powergrab. The alternative, which gets its rst Assembly committee hearing on Tuesday, would punish election misconduct by growers with sanctions that could include an automatic certication of the farm workers union. Brown also is pushing lawmakers to reauthorize what is known as the Public Goods Charge, a surcharge on utility bills that raises $400 million annually for clean-energy projects. The administration is pitching the reauthorization in SB1x28 and SB1x29 as a vital job-creating tool. Despite the focus on jobs, Republican lawmakers and business leaders are critical of several bills sponsored by Democrats and say much more needs to be done to help businesses. The states job growth remains weak, with unemployment rising to 12 percent in July for the rst time since March. The California Chamber of Commerce is ghting legislation that seeks to ban plastic foam takeout food containers throughout the state, labeling it as one of several job-killer bills remaining before lawmakers. The chamber says the proposed rst-in-the-nation ban would threaten manufacturing jobs and increase costs for restaurants that would have to spend more money on alternative, biodegradable containers. Republicans also say regulatory reforms proposed in two Democratic bills, SB617 and AB29, dont go far enough, even though they adopt some long-standing Republican ideas. The business community, the people that want to invest in California, are holding back because they keep getting mixed signals: Is California going to really be open for business or is it going to just be the same old thing? said Senate Minority Leader Bob Dutton, R-Rancho Cucamonga. He said it probably is too late to create enough economic activity and revenue growth to avoid automatic spending cuts built into the states budget. Billions of dollars more will have to be cut from schools, universities and other programs at the start of the year if tax revenue continues its slide.

Lees remnants spawn twisters


By Holbrook Mohr and Dorie Turner

Around the nation


Cheney vigorously defends war in Iraq
WASHINGTON Dick Cheneys autobiography presents a robust defense of his push for the U.S. invasion of Iraq without critically examining two issues central to Americas near-failure in the war: the Bush administrations decision to disband the countrys army and banish all members of Saddam Husseins Baath Party. Cheney has said that In My Time would cause heads to explode in Washington, and it is juicy reading for its harsh criticism of two secretaries of state, Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice, and one defense secreDick Cheney tary, Robert Gates. Not surprising was Cheneys adulation of Gates Pentagon predecessor, Donald H. Rumsfeld, the vice presidents political mentor. Cheneys parting shot after decades of public service comes in the run-up to the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. The book has rekindled debate over the rationale to attack Iraq in 2003 and the cost in American lives and dollars. It also has focused attention on whether the war diverted U.S. attention from catching al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and eradicating the groups hide-outs in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

ATLANTA The slow-moving remnants of Tropical Storm Lee dumped a torrent of rain across the South on Monday and whipped up twisters that damaged dozens of Georgia homes as the storm system pushed farther inland. One death was reported, and at least one person was injured. In Mississippi, a man was swept away by oodwaters after trying to cross a swollen creek, the rst death caused by ooding or winds from Lee. The system was sweeping through Alabama and pushing into Georgia, where the suspected tornadoes sent trees falling into homes and injured at least one person. Damage to homes ranged from rippedoff siding and shingles to holes punched through roofs by falling trees. In all, the Georgia Emergency Management Agency said about 100 homes were damaged in Cherokee County. One man was taken to the hospital with supercial injuries after being hit by ying debris.

the storm. I heard it and saw the trees go around and around, Swims said. I knew when I heard it that if it touched down, it was going to be bad. Swims owns the Dixie Speedway, where he estimated the storm caused $500,000 worth of damage. That includes about 2,000 feet of chain-link fence uprooted from its concrete base, walls blown out of a bathroom and concession stands and tractor-trailer trucks turned into mangled messes. In other parts of the state, six families were evacuated from a Catoosa County apartment building because of ooding, while slick roads caused an 18-car pileup in Monroe County, said agency spokeswoman Lisa Janak.

Still undecided,Palin rails against Obama


MANCHESTER, N.H. Sarah Palin left open the possibility of a presidential bid Monday afternoon, while encouraging Pea Party activists to unite against President Obama. And the former Alaska governor praised Republican presidential candidates for working harder to appeal to the Tea Party movement. Now were seeing more and more folks realize the strength of this grassroots movement and theyre wanting to be involved, she told hundreds of activists at a Tea Party Express rally in the Granite States largest city. Sarah Palin I say, Right on, better late than never, for some of these campaigns, especially. She didnt name any names, but former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney is among those courting Tea Party groups this weekend.

Congress returns amid sour mood over slow economy


By Jim Abrams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Still bruised by the summer battle over the debt ceiling, Congress reconvenes this week for what could be an equally painful confrontation over how to put Americans back to work. Lawmakers returning to Washington after a monthlong recess are in accord on at least one thing: Jobs policy must be at the top of the agenda. But theres scant hope they will put aside their differences

long enough to come up with legislation that makes measurable improvements either to the unemployment rate or Congress dismal approval rate. Even the main attraction of the rst week back, President Obamas speech to a joint session of Congress outlining his jobs policy, had to be pushed back a day, until Thursday. Republicans balked at letting Obama pre-empt their partys presidential debate on the rst day the House is in session. When Obama does get to the House podium, hes likely to get a cool recep-

tion from the GOP side of the aisle. Republicans may go along with tax break proposals but wont be friendly to ideas to extend jobless benets or spend money on new construction projects. House Republicans have prepared an autumn jobs agenda that centers on repealing what they say are job-destroying environmental and labor regulations. The rst bill, slated for the week of Sept. 12, would prevent the National Labor Relations Board from restricting where an employer can locate in the United States.

GOP candidates in vow to carry Tea-Party banner


COLUMBIA, S.C. Pledging delity to the Constitution and vowing to carry the tea partys priorities to the White House, the Republicans chasing the GOPs presidential nomination pitched themselves Monday to their partys libertarian activists as the strongest candidates to roll back four years of President Barack Obamas tenure. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney said the Obama administration outed the Constitution to push a political agenda. Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota stridently called Obamas policies unconstitutional at the same Tea Party-backed forum on Labor Day.

Obama: GOP must back U.S.first,create jobs


By Daelene Superville
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

REUTERS

Barack Obama speaks at a Labor Day event at General Motors Headquarters in Detroit,Mich.

DETROIT President Barack Obama used a boisterous Labor Day rally to put congressional Republicans on the spot, challenging them to place the countrys interests above all else and vote to create jobs and put the economy back on a path toward growth. Show us what youve got, he said. In a partial preview of the jobs speech hes delivering to Congress Thursday night, Obama said roads and bridges nationwide need rebuilding and more than 1 million unemployed construction workers are itching to get dirty making the repairs. He portrayed Congress as an obstacle to getting that work done. Im going to propose ways to put America back to work that both parties can agree to, because I still believe both parties can work together to solve our problems, Obama said at an annual Labor Day rally sponsored by the Detroit-area AFL-CIO. Given the urgency of this moment, given the hardship that many people are facing, folks have got to get togeth-

er. But were not going to wait for them. Were going to see if weve got some straight shooters in Congress. Were going to see if congressional Republicans will put country before party, he said. Congress returns from its summer recess this week and the faltering economy and jobs shortage are expected to be a dominant theme. Besides spending on public works, Obama said he wants pending trade deals passed to open new markets for U.S. goods. He also said he wants Republicans to prove theyll ght as hard to cut taxes for the middle class as they do for protable oil companies and the wealthiest Americans. The president is expected to call for continuing a payroll tax cut for workers and jobless benefits for the unemployed. Some Republicans oppose extending the payroll tax cut, calling it an unproven job creator that will only add to the nations massive debt. The tax cut extension is set to expire Jan. 1. Republicans also cite huge federal budget decits in expressing opposition to vast new spending on jobs programs.

U.S. Chamber spelling out its own job agenda


By Jim Kuhnhenn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Putting a business imprint on the debate over jobs, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on Monday issued an open letter to Congress and to the White House calling for a series of measures designed to increase employment, including greater oil drilling, quicker road and bridge construction and temporary corporate tax breaks. If enacted, the chamber estimates the steps could encourage corporations to spend much of the nearly $2 trillion dollars that have accumulated on their balance sheets and generate more than 6 million jobs by 2013, and even more in ensuing years. The chamber is looking to inuence job creation proposals just days after a bleak government employment report showed no net job growth in August and four days before President Barack Obama delivers an economic speech to a joint session of Congress. Chamber proposals on trade and infrastructure are sure to overlap with some Obama administration initiatives. Others, such as the corporate tax breaks and oil drilling, are more certain to win Republican support.

Chamber President Thomas Donohue released the seven-page letter as the rst step in a campaign to draw attention to the chambers proposals and inuence Washington policymakers. The effort includes newspaper and Internet ads and outreach to chamber members nationwide. The campaign will encourage business leaders across the country to contact members of Congress and the White House to prod them into passing job creation legislation. Chances that the president and congressional Republicans can reach any kind of deal appear to be a longshot amid a partisan environment and testy relations. Were having a bunch of problems right now, but when we get done fooling around and decide what were going to do, were going to do it, and this is a good start, Donohue said in an interview. Were interested to listen to other ideas that meet the same criteria: Quick, fast, workable, and not costing new money. While Obamas plan will include infrastructure spending, including possibly billions for school construction, it also is expected to propose renewing a payroll tax cut, extending jobless benets and providing payroll tax credits to businesses that expand their hiring.

Pakistan detains top al-Qaida suspect
ISLAMABAD A battered alQaida suffered another signicant blow when Pakistani agents working with the CIA arrested a senior leader believed to have been tasked by Osama bin Laden with targeting American Younis economic interal-Mauritani ests around the globe, Pakistan announced Monday. Younis al-Mauritanis arrest made public six days before the 10year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks also point to improved cooperation between two uneasy anti-terror allies after the rancor surrounding bin Ladens killing.

Mubarak trial witness: No order to shoot protests


CAIRO The prosecutions rst witness in the trial of ousted Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak startled the court in a stormy session Monday, testifying that police were not ordered to re on protesters in Cairos Tahrir Square in a contradiction of the prosecutors central claim. The police generals statement could damage the prosecutions case that Mubarak and his security chief gave the green light to police to use lethal force to crush the uprising, during which at least 850 people were killed. Prosecution lawyers were visibly stunned by the testimony of the witness, Gen. Hussein Moussa, and angrily accused him of changing his story from the affadavit he initially gave prosecutors.

TARHOUNA, Libya Thousands of rebel ghters closed in around one of Libyas last proGadha strongholds Monday, but held back on a nal assault in hopes of avoiding a bloody battle for the town of Bani Walid. The standoff came as rebel leaders in Tripoli said Libyas transition to democratic rule would begin with a declaration of liberation that was unlikely to come before Gadhafis forces last strongholds were defeated and the fugitive former dictator had been captured. The declaration would mark the start of an eight-month deadline for Libyas transitional council to arrange the vote for a national assembly, and eventually to a constitution and general elections. When the clock starts ticking on those eight months remains to be seen, rebel spokesman Jalal elGallal said, adding it wasnt yet clear how liberation would be dened. Special U.N. envoy Ian Martin, meanwhile, said the United Nations was helping the rebel leadership prepare for its elections, stressing the country faces immense political hurdles after nearly 42 years of dictatorial rule. The U.N. is certainly ready to move very fast to bring in the electoral expertise that can assist the authorities, he said at a news conference in Tripoli with Ahmed Darrad, the interior minister. The rebels most immediate concern is Bani Walid, a desert town

some 90 miles (140 kilometers) southeast of Tripoli, where they say a small but heavily armed force of pro-Gadhafi fighters at least some of them high-ranking members of his ousted regime have taken up defensive positions. The loyalists are spreading fear in the town to keep other residents from surrendering, the rebels say, telling people the rebels will rape their wives and daughters. The regime loyalists know if they hand themselves in, they will be punished. They are trying hard to mess things up, to drag other people with them into a battle, said rebel Col. Abdullah Hussein Salem. Most of the country has welcomed the uprising that swept Gadha from power, though rebel forces backed by NATO airstrikes have yet to capture loyalist bastions like Bani Walid, Gadhas hometown of Sirte and the isolated southern town of Sabha. Gadha has been on the run since losing control of his capital last month, though the rebels say at least two of his sons had been in Bani Walid in recent days. Moussa Ibrahim, Gadhas spokesman and one of his key aides, was still believed to be in the town, rebel ofcials said. Talks broke down over the weekend after Ibrahim insisted the rebels put down their weapons before entering the town. The rebels have extended to Saturday a deadline for the surrender of Sirte and other loyalist areas, though some rebel ofcials have said they could attack Bani Walid sooner because it has so many prominent loyalists.

Libyan spy files revealing Gadhafi regimes collapse


By Ben Hubbard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TRIPOLI, Libya As the uprising grew against Moammar Gadha, secret reports from his vaunted intelligence service owed back to Tripoli. Some were mundane how agents erased anti-regime grafti. Others were more deadly a spy volunteered to poison rebel leaders food and drink. The reports grew more desperate as the Libyan rebellion veered into civil war: Military leaders in the western mountains were disregarding orders; troops in the city of Misrata ran out of ammunition, turning the situation into every man for himself. These reports and hundreds of

other intelligence documents seen by the Associated Press in Tripoli trace how the tide shifted in the sixmonth uprising that ended Gadhas 42-year reign. They show how an authoritarian regime using all its means failed to quash an armed rebellion largely fueled by hatred of its tools of control. The Arab-language documents read and photographed by an AP reporter during a visit to Tripolis intelligence headquarters contain a mixture of military data and regime propaganda. Amid reports on rebels movements, phone tap records and dispatches from Gadhas domestic agents are memos claiming that alQaida was behind the rebellion and that 4,000 U.S. troops were about to invade from Egypt.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

OPINION
happened just days after I rst interviewed, complete with red power shirt and snakeskin shoes, and I spent days guring out new ways to make each bout of grief and generosity stand out from every other outpouring. Then there was the airport. Every powdered doughnut or unexpected item anybody else remember the shoes an Asian visitor had wired for warmth but that freaked the heck out of security? meant a trek to SFO and an indulging of the airplane-shaped cookies that came standard with validation in the managers ofce. I can probably make it to the international terminal and the reection room blindfolded. I look back on that girl and wonder how she managed. No idea who the power players in the county were. No clue there was press parking at the courthouse. I accidentally referred to a fatal shooting on Norfolk as being near downtown San Mateo, much to the chagrin and near heart attack of the thendowntown director. My beat didnt include the city of San Mateo but somehow the new theater and issues over parking fell into my lap. Who knew there could be such debate over trolleys and valet service? Instead, by default, I got courts which was a perfect t considering my high school fascination with crime and law. But reading about incidents is a far different experience than sitting in the back of a courtroom, sometimes frustrated when the bailiffs demanded my coffee be tossed and wondering why hearings never happen on time, or holding the hand of a mother trying to keep it together when a mistrial is declared in the murder of her son. Sometimes you think you get too close for work; sometimes you cry at home because a byline and press pass doesnt insulate you from feeling. The majority of these 10 years, San Carlos has bickered over articial turf. It reminded of Burlingames ght over a new Safeway, a ght I nally gave up with the arrival of a new reporter and a multi-night stretch of lengthy night meetings that ultimately made me cry uncle. Redwood City nally got the historic courthouse revamped and settled the use of recycled water. Obviously, progress takes time. Ten years means seeing changes, real changes. Cunhas re, the demolition of Bay Meadows, construction of the new juvenile hall and defeat of Marina Shores, groundbreaking on hospitals, elected ofcials who took legal and ethical wrong turns and sometimes parole hearings or reversals of cases I spent hours observing. When did I get so old? Wasnt I just at an age when saying a few years back would have meant college or at least fear of being carded? Now, its hard to remember if it was two years ago or four that I stood in front of a computer with a coworker eyeballing a murder suspect and concluding he was the socalled Gilligan robber from a string of bank robberies. A few years back I might not have felt such pride at having our assumption conrmed. Ten years isnt just work and isnt just seeing ones name in print. Ten years is looking around the newsroom to see who is still standing and being pleasantly surprised Im not the oldest or the most senior, although the interns frankly are starting to freak me out when they ask if Ive ever been to a Beatles concert or talk about avoiding bars that cater to 30-somethings because those are hangouts for old folks. Ten years means odd anonymous tips, email, voice mails telling me I should get a new job, hugs and thank yous from those who like work I do and the chance to learn and see things beyond my wild imagination. The inner workings of a recycling plant, an execution, jails, pig races, corn mazes, res, funerals, nancial privacy, technology, election night returns at midnight, murals, dogs, museums, swearing ins, drug court graduations. This doesnt even count 10 years of running on what my friends call journalist standard time because Im never punctual to post-work events. Youd think by now theyd understand shootings and natural disasters dont run on a happy-hour timetable. There are the years of sending news links to coworkers with the note Why cant we have this story? and the crazy times somebody tries to blow up a high school or a neighborhood actually does explode the times we have the story and the human part of us wished we didnt. Ten years means remembering the birth of children to Daily Journal staff. Nothing marks the passage of time like watching a tyke gure out how to crawl and recalling the dilemma of what to buy his or her mom for the shower. Ten years means a few ofce managers before we got Gale, who is the best, and a move to new ofces (with a kitchen and parking!) Ten years also means countless times that

Perfect 10
few years back, a well-respected television newsman approached me as I sat on a bench outside a courtroom waiting for the beginning of a highly-publicized molestation case. He was looking for family, for supporters, opponents, anybody really to esh out his story. Are you someone important? he asked after watching me greet a few key players. Why yes, I answered, while biting my tongue from explaining he and I had already met on several occasions. Who are you? he asked, polite as could be. Im a reporter, I replied. And so I was. And so I am. And so it was 10 years ago this week when I joined the Daily Journal. Ten years. A lot happens in a decade. I was never going to stay that long. I was a woman with a mission, with a national audience in her eye. That rst week, after a few years away from journalism and a summer traveling following my former software company employers latest buyout, daily news was what I wanted again but it felt weird. Walking into the Daily Journal ofces, then on B Street in downtown San Mateo, wasnt the feeling I had in other newsrooms. This was different, a combination of being new and pushing forward like a Silicon Valley startup. There was no line of televisions shouting out the evening headlines. I didnt see a formal archive section. No kitchen. No separation between the editors and the writers. There was a big room. There were a few computers. The paper was barely a year old itself and half the front page seemed lled with ads or teasers for inside articles. There was a gutpunching question of what was I getting myself into and that perhaps I should just go back to an inated salary in a cubicle farm. Little did I know then, lacking a crystal ball, of what I would see, what I would learn, how one day I would stop answering the question Why arent you somewhere bigger? with an explanation about the news economy making it hard to jump ship and start explaining with pride that I have a pretty sweet spot. At that point, a column was less than a sparkle in my eye. It would take a few years and the foresight of my editor, Jon Mays, to make that a reality and I hope readers think it was a good outcome as much as I do. No, at that time, that rst week, it was nothing but tears and vigils. The 9/11 attack

the sports editor, Nathan Mollat, borrowed tape from my desk to secure his clipboard during football season. Why dont you just get your own? I used to ask. Because I just take yours, hed reply. Ive stopped asking. Instead, recently as he pulled out a length of tape for some other project, I joked about it being too early for football season. Soon, he said. And I knew he was right. Id been here long enough to have it memorized, not to mention feel a little put out, if he didnt step over to take advantage of the dispenser with the raggedly stuffed lion atop. Ten years means a lot of things. A different address, a different car, a different signicant other, a different title at work, a different staff box, a different San Mateo County, a different world. Probably even a different me although in my mind I will always be the girl who answered the Daily Journal job ad. Maybe some of the optimism is gone, along with the snakeskin shoes and the red power shirt. Maybe Ive overstayed my welcome. Or maybe, and I hope so, Im right where Im supposed to be. Im somebody important and have been for 10 years now. Im a reporter. More importantly, Im a reporter for the Daily Journal.

Letter to the editor


Time to talk Turkey
Editor, Why has our government and many others tiptoed around the Armenian genocide issue with Turkey for almost 100 years? After all, theres no doubt that the Turks denial of responsibility for genocide in the murder of 1.5 million Christian Armenians in 1915. Turkey is a total fraud. Now that Turkeys secular mask has been pulled off by its Islamist government, theres certainly no diplomatic reason to avoid calling a spade a spade any more. Turkeys axis with Iran is strengthening and Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan didnt carry out what now appears to be an empty threat to invade Syria to stop President Assads forces from carrying out their own massacre of his own civilians. As a NATO member, Turkey needs to be read the riot act for behaving like just another Jihadist terror group. Erdogan sacked the heads of his military recently and replaced them with Islamists. What more proof does our Department of State need that Turkey is no longer an ally and is not likely to be helpful in dealing with Islamic extremism in the future, because it is openly now one of its sponsors.

Jobs data shakes markets


U.S. recession fears savage world financial markets
By Carlo Piovano
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON World stock markets took a beating Monday over fears that the U.S. economy was heading back into a recession just as the European debt crisis was heating up and the eurozones economic indicators were slumping. Any troubles in the worlds largest economy cast a long shadow over the markets, and a report Friday that the U.S. economy failed to add any new jobs in August caused European and Asian stock markets to sink sharply Monday. But the news from Europe was also discouraging. Wall Street, which was closed Monday due to the Labor Day holiday, braced for losses Tuesday after the yields in so-called peripheral eurozone countries Greece, Italy and Spain rose sharply against those of Germany, whose bonds are widely considered a safe haven. Although retail sales in the 17-nation eurozone rose unexpectedly in July, a survey of the services sector Monday showed a slowdown across the continent for the fth consecutive month. The purchasing managers index for the eurozone showed the services sector was still growing unlike the manufacturing sector but only barely. That will add pressure on the European Central Bank to keep interest rates on hold when it meets this week. Theres so much uncertainty, so much fear, that investors dont know what to do, said David Kotok, chairman and chief investment officer at Cumberland Advisors. I dont remember the last time stocks were so cheap and nobody wanted them. Investors were also shaken by signs that the Italian governments commitment to its austerity program is wavering. Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconis government has backtracked on some decitcutting measures, prompting EU ofcials to urge Italy to stick to its promised plan.

A trader reacts ato the DAX board at the Frankfurt stock exchange in Germany.
The difference in interest rates between the Greek and benchmark German 10year bonds, known as the spread, spiraled to new records on Monday, topping 17.3 percentage points. Yields on the Greek bonds were above 18 percent. Mario Draghi, the incoming chief of the European Central Bank, told a conference in Paris that among the common currencys problems was a lack of coordinated scal policies and that the solution was more integration. He dismissed the idea of eurobonds debt issued jointly by the eurozone countries. Some have argued this would help weaker countries borrow more easily because they wouldnt have to pay such high interest rates. But stable countries like Germany would likely see their rates rise. Instead, Draghi suggested the eurozone should adopt rules that would require more budget discipline. Renewed jitters over the eurozone debt crisis also contributed to the slump in nancial stocks amid concerns the banks would need to raise new capital. Deutsche bank closed down 8.9 percent in Frankfurt, while Societe Generale in Paris shed 8.6 percent. The U.S. unemployment crisis has prompted President Barack Obama to schedule a major speech Thursday night to propose steps to stimulate hiring. Until then, however, traders coming back from the U.S. holiday weekend will have little to hold onto. The August jobs gure was far below economists already tepid expectations for 93,000 new U.S. jobs and renewed concerns that the U.S. recovery is not only slowing but actually unwinding. U.S. hiring gures for June and July were also revised lower, only adding to the gloom. Many traders have already pulled out of any risky investments such as stocks, particularly nancial ones, the euro and emerging market currencies and pile into safe havens: U.S. Treasuries, the dollar, the Japanese yen and gold.

Netflix unveils Latin America service in Brazil


By Bradley Brooks
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAO PAULO Netix launched its movie and TV streaming service in Brazil on Monday, the beachhead for a push into Latin America that is seen as key to the companys continued growth after recent setbacks in the United States. Netix Inc. says it plans to expand into 43 countries throughout Latin America and the Caribbean soon, the online movie rental companys largest international expansion yet. What Netix seeks to do is connect the world to provide the worlds content to the worlds citizens, CEO Reed Hastings said as he inaugurated the service in Brazil on Monday.

Netix will add service to Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay on Wednesday, then will expand to Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean within a week. The move brings challenges not seen in Netixs core markets, the U.S. and Canada. Broadband internet reaches a far smaller percentage of homes in Latin America than in the United States, and speeds are slower. Piracy of movies is among the most widespread on the planet, meaning many consumers can pick up a DVD or CD of the latest lms for less than a dollar. Also, Netix has little brand recognition in the region, and in the case of Brazil it already faces a homegrown competitor. This just wont work in Ecuador or

Costa Rica or even Mexico as it has in the U.S., said analyst Michael Pachter of Webbush Securities. Its going to depend on how many households have broadband access and what the quality of the content will be like. Only 20 percent of Brazils 42 million Internet users have a connection speed above 500 kilobytes per second, according to a May report from Ibope Nielsen Online. A speed of around 800 kilobytes per second is the minimum required to stream movies online. Netix subscribers across the region will be able to watch TV shows and movies streamed on a wide range of gadgets. Foreign and domestic content will be offered in Brazil, with some titles dubbed in Portuguese, Spanish or English, and people will also be able to opt for subtitling.

San Francisco police help search for lost iPhone


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco police ofcers helped Apple Inc. investigators look for a missing iPhone prototype that was left in a city restaurant in July, the police chief said, the second time in two years the company has lost an unreleased smartphone. Police Chief Greg Suhr said that four plainclothes ofcers accompanied two Apple investigators who searched a San Francisco home for the iPhone prototype. Apple employees who contacted the department asking for help nding a lost item conducted the house search after

asking the residents permission, and the ofcers did not enter the home, according to police. Apple tracked the smartphone to the home using GPS technology, but the gadget wasnt found there, said Lt. Troy Dangereld. Apple ofcials have declined to comment on the case. The Cupertino-based company is reportedly planning to release a new version of its popular iPhone this fall. Sergio Calderon, who lives in the home, said he believed all six people were police ofcers and would not have let the two investigators inside if he knew

they worked for Apple. Suhr said he didnt know how the Apple employees presented themselves to Calderon. The reason we do civil standby is to make sure there isnt a problem, Suhr said. Whatever conversations the employees had with the resident, I cant say. Suhr said its not uncommon for San Francisco police ofcers to help private investigators. There was no record of the ofcers involvement in the search because Apple did not want a lost property report created, which was within the companys right, Suhr said.

San Francisco wins, but time is running out


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO Coming off a deating loss to the NL West-leading Arizona Diamondbacks, San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy wanted to see signs that the defending World Series champions hadnt packed it in. They havent. Pablo Sandoval homered twice, lefty Madison Bumgarner struck out a career-high 13 in 8 1-3 innings and the Giants beat the last-place

San Diego Padres 7-2 on Monday to remain seven games behind t h e Diamondbacks with 21 to play. The Giants Pablo Sandoval came into this three-game series with their biggest decit of the season after losing two of three to the Diamondbacks in a weekend

series, including a 4-1 loss on Sunday. Im proud of how the guys bounced back, Bochy said. They played so well today. I mean, thats as tough a loss as weve had all year. We played one of our better games. We did a great job of putting that game behind us. The Diamondbacks won 10-7 at Colorado on Monday. Bumgarner (10-12) came within two outs of his rst career complete game. He was pulled after Nick

Hundley hit a solo homer with one out in the ninth, his sixth. Bumgarner held San Diego to two runs and seven hits, and walked one. It was the fourth time he struck out 10 or more, all coming this season. What a job he did, Bochy said. I said, Im going to let him start the ninth, give him a chance, get a shot at it. He had a couple deep counts and the home run. I wasnt going to let him work that hard to get the complete game. Bumgarner allowed a run in the

rst inning but then dominated the Padres after that. They hit some good pitches and got a run in, then I shut them down, Bumgarner said. Our defense made a lot of great plays. Sandovals 17th and 18th homers, both off Tim Stauffer (8-12), were enough to carry the Giants to just their third win in eight games. With two outs in the rst, he homered into the sand play area beyond the fence

Ticket prices to get into a Serra High School football game vary there are general admission tickets, tickets at student discounts, kids can get into the game for a couple bucks less. Whether its $7 or $4, a seat in the stands, or standing room on the track rail, the important part is that you make it a point to catch a Padres game in 2011; because Serra running back Erich Wilson is worth the price of admission. No. 21 is fast, explosive, agile, strong, fast wait, we already mentioned that. But its worth repeating just ask the Wilcox football team at his mercy Saturday afternoon in the season opener. The Chargers had no answer for the Serra offense, in particular the running ability of Wilson. Twelve times Wilson carried the football. Six of those times the run culminated with the running back handing the football to the side judge as he crossed into the end zone. At the end of Serras 52-6 shellacking of the Chargers, Wilsons line read: 12 carries for 176 yards, for a 14.7 yards per rush average and a school record six touchdowns. For his efforts, Wilson is the Daily Journal Athlete of the Week. The only way I can explain that is just practice, Wilson said of his record-tying performance. Weve been putting in a lot of hard work and during the game Im just thinking hopefully we can get better, keep this up so we can do good in league. Opponents in the West Catholic Athletic League are most denitely taking notice of Wilsons abilities. And if theyre not, they better. In one game, Wilson has already scored more than half of his tally from a season ago (when he scored 11). And, it may sound a bit exaggerated, but it appeared No. 21 barely broke a sweat doing it. On Saturday, Wilson scored his rst touchdown on a six-yard run with 8:27 left in the rst quarter. His second came six minutes later on a 29-yard sprint into the end zone. Five minutes later, he hit pay dirt again on an eight-yard scamper. Two minutes after that, on the rst play following one of Wilcoxs six fumbles, Wilson beat everyone into the

in Week 1
The rst week of the 2011 prep football season has come and gone, but not without a handful of teams making strong initial statements especially on the defensive side of the ball. Burlingame and Sacred Heart Prep pitched shutouts in their respective wins, while teams like South City, Menlo-Atherton and Woodside held their opponents to single digits. Sequoia and Menlo School also had solid games defensively. My initial reaction is very positive, said Burlingame head coach John Philipopoulos, whose Panthers defeated Saratoga 10-0. To go on the road and shut out a tough team like Saratoga speaks volumes about what were trying to do with the program. We were pleased with the results given the youth and inexperience on our team. Its denitely a positive thing and its something to build on. Burlingame actually accomplished the shutout despite losing two of their defensive starters to head injuries in the initial stages of the game. The great thing is, when our guys had their numbers called (to go into the game), they were ready to go, Philipopoulos said. They did the things they have been coached to do. Offensively, the Panthers Kevin Navas was efcient, leading Burlingame to a eld goal in the rst half and a touchdown in the second. But Philipopoulos sees plenty of room for improvement three times the Burlingame offense found themselves in the red zone, only to come away with nothing to show for it. We need to score points when we get in the red zone, Philipopoulos said, whether its three or six. But for the most part, were fairly pleased. Peter Lavoratos Sacred Heart Prep also threw up a goose egg. Their victory over San Lorenzo Valley was more lopsided, 39-0. I thought we played a good game in the rst half, Lavorato said. In the second half, it was a little hard to tell because we were up. But overall, I thought we did pretty good. We made some mistakes, with missed assignments here and there. But our quarterback did a good job, and I thought our running backs ran pretty hard. While the score may indicate otherwise, Lavorato wasnt ready to anoint the victory as a prime example of what Gator football is about. I thought we played, OK, he said. But one victory doesnt a season make. We still have a long way to go.

Oakland Raiders look to end prime time skid


By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA The bright lights and national television audience that comes from a prime-time game seems to bring out the worst in the Oakland Raiders. One constant during a long stretch of losing for the Raiders has been a failure to win on the prime-time stage. There have been a few heartbreakers and more than their share of blowouts, but no prime-time wins for Oakland since 2004. You want to go out and, because its prime time and everybody gets to see it, you want to play good, Raiders defensive tackle Tommy Kelly said Monday. But in the past, I know as long as Ive been here, we havent played good on prime time. So this is another opportunity. The Raiders open their season

Monday night in Denver against the division rival Broncos, their fth season-opening prime-time game in the past seven years. Oakland has lost all of them, part of a troubling trend for a franchise that used to thrive on that stage. The Raiders once won 14 straight Monday night games back when the series was at the height of its popularity starting in the mid-1970s. But Oakland has lost its last 11 appearances in prime time, dating to the start of the 2005 season, being outscored 175-53 over the last six games. This is what I know. This is 2011, coach Hue Jackson said. The Raiders and the Denver Broncos on Monday night in their stadium. Thats all I know. Whats gone on here in the past, I cant speak about it, worry about. Im just worried about this upcoming

Monday night. Their last prime-time win came on Nov. 28, 2004, when they beat the Broncos 25-24 on a snowy Sunday night in Denver Hue Jackson that featured a spectacular onehanded touchdown catch by Ronald Curry. Their last Monday night win came in their Super Bowl season in 2002, when they beat the Jets 26-20 on Dec. 2. The Raiders have often been at their worst in season openers under the bright lights of a nationally televised game. They lost a Thursday night opener in New England 30-20 in 2005 against the defendingchampion Patriots. The following year, the Art Shell

coaching era got started with a 27-0 loss to the Chargers that was indicative of what was to come in a 2-14 season. The Raiders allowed nine sacks and gained just 129 yards as they were completely overmatched by San Diegos pressure. The problems came on the other side of the ball in the opener two years later in a 41-14 home loss to Denver. Jay Cutler threw for 300 yards and the Broncos gained 441 in all. Coach Lane Kifn washed his hands of that performance, saying coordinator Rob Ryan and owner Al Davis run the defense, contributing to his ring a few weeks later. Oakland fared a little better the following year before losing a 24-20 heartbreaker at home to San Diego. JaMarcus Russell had given the Raiders a 20-17 lead with a 57-yard touchdown pass to rookie Louis Murphy with 2:34 left, before Philip

Rivers drove the Chargers down for the winning score with 18 seconds left. The Raiders havent played a prime-time game since then, being denied the showcase last year based on a run of seven straight seasons with at least 11 losses. Jackson is moving practice to night time later this week, starting at 7:15 p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday night under temporary lights to acclimate the players to the same starting time for the opener. I dont know if its going to light up like Christmas, but I know one thing, were going to be able to see each other, I promise you that, Jackson said. Our organization is willing to do whatever we need to, whatever I think we need to do, to help us win a football game. And thanks to them, thats what were going to do this week.

Colts say Manning doubtful for opener


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Peyton Manning

INDIANAPOLIS The unthinkable suddenly seems possible in Indianapolis opening the season without Peyton Manning. The four-time league-MVP who has never missed a start in his NFL career is doubtful for

Sundays game at Houston because of lingering soreness in his back following offseason neck surgery. If Manning sits, it would be the first time the NFLs active iron man missed a meaningful game after 227 consecutive starts including the playoffs. I hate it for Peyton, said Pro

Bowl center Jeff Saturday, one of Mannings closest friends. You want him to be healthy, you want him to be back, but you want him to take care of it, too. Its sad when players face tough times, but I know hes strong enough to get through it. The question is whether the

Colts can survive without their franchise quarterback, whose streak stands second in NFL history to Brett Favres among all QBs. Team ofcials have not said how much longer it could take Manning to recover, leaving that decision to Manning and his doctors.

Over the years, life without Manning has been pretty dismal. The only time he missed a regular-season snap because of injury, against Miami in 2001, backup Mark Rypien fumbled. The Dolphins recovered, then drove 59 yards for the winning score.

Up north in South San Francisco, head coach Frank Moro nally got to see his defense go full speed. And just as he suspected, the Warrior defense has the potential to be something special. Defensively, we were really happy, Moro said. Our defense played with their backs against the wall the entire night and they played well. I knew they were fast, but you cant quite gauge the speed until youre able to stand behind it in a game situation. They can y from sideline to sideline. South Citys defense had to play huge. Mistakes on special teams shortened the eld for visiting Santa Clara on Friday night. Were it not for the defense, the 20-7 outcome in favor of South City could have been drastically different.

Sports brief
Arizona tops Colorado, 10-7
Geoff Blum homered, Wade Miley tossed seven strong innings and the streaking Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Colorado Rockies 10-7 on Monday. Justin Upton also went deep and Paul Goldschmidt had three RBIs for Arizona, which has won three straight and 12 of 13. Blum had three hits and three RBIs. The Diamondbacks began the day with a seven-game over San Francisco in the NL West after taking two of three from the Giants over the weekend. Dexter Fowler homered from both sides of the plate, and Mark Ellis and Troy Tulowitzki also connected for Colorado. Arizona pushed across ve runs in the sixth to break open a close game. Blum led off with his second homer of the season, giving the Diamondbacks a 4-2 lead. Collin Cowgill singled and one out later Miley walked, chasing starter Esmil Rogers. When I think about, just to have it is great, Wilson said of the record. Im excited about it, but I know I have to do it against teams in our league, like Bellarmine and St. Francis that are better. I dont know how to explain it. I dont want to compare myself to anyone because I dont think Im close to them at all; I just try to run my hardest every single play. I try to go what I have to do for the team. To win, we have to put points on the board, thats how I have to think before the play, he said.

expectations for this team. We have to x that, and thats what we did (during Mondays practice). Woodside traveled up to Sacramento and held the Dragons to six points en route to a 20-6 win. We should have shut them out, said Woodside head coach Steve Nicolopulos, (but) I was pleased with the team and with the win. All the hard work theyve put in showed. Sacramento is a pretty good team so were definitely pleased with the outcome. But we denitely have work to do. We have a big game against Burlingame this week so we need to get ready.

Violence mars Jeffersons Bay Division debut


Jefferson of Daly City began their 2011 campaign with a 19-3 loss to Milpitas. But more disheartening I thought it was going to be a tougher game, Wilson said. Our coach kind of pumped it up to be a better team that what they showed to be. Its just what they showed, I thought it was going to be a tougher ght. Wilson could have called it a (very successful) afternoon at the half he had 11 carries for 134 yards. But he would get one nal touch, and he turned it into record-tying gold. On third and 5 from the Wilcox 42-yard line, Wilson came in with

than the loss for the Indians was the ght between the teams that resulted in the game being called with a little over seven minutes left on the clock. With the Indians driving in the fourth quarter, a ght broke out on the Jefferson sideline after the ball carrier took exception to a hit from a bevy of Milpitas defenders. Pushing and shoving ensued and things got way out of hand ultimately fans came onto the eld and game ofcials had no choice but to suspend the game and declare the Spartans the winners. It was definitely a physical game, said Jefferson head coach Ako Poti. There was a lot shoving, a lot of talking after plays. We were doing it, they were doing it. It was a heated battle. Toward the end of the game, I felt we denitely in better shape physically and they were tiring. After the play, we tried to keep the assignment of getting the rst down. He did a little better than get the ve yards. Wilson took the pitch, let the blocks develop in front of him, exploded through the hole and jetted down toward the sideline. Once he hit the corner, No. 21 turned and took off down the sideline like a finely-tuned sports automobile, tight-roping his way into the end zone for touchdown number six. It was the last time he would touch the football during the game, and in retrospect, had his coaches chose to, Wilson could have easily

our kids on the sideline and break things up, but thats when things went haywire. It got out of control. Milpitas took full advantage of Jeffersons mistakes to build the 193 lead, but Poti felt the tide had turned. With seven minutes left, Jefferson was threatening to score deep in Milpitas territory. But then, all hell broke loose. Football-wise, I was pleased, Poti said, but obviously I am very disappointed (with the ght). When something like that happens, it falls on the coach, and thats me. I should have done a better job of controlling our kids on the sideline. Poti has not received any word from the section ofce as to possible disciplinary action toward the Jefferson football team. He said he expects word on Wednesday when the Jefferson Athletic Director John Falabella and school principal, Keith Irish, travel to the section ofce. scored another pair of touchdowns. My coach wouldnt let me go back in, Wilson said, jokingly. But I understand we have 13 games left in the season so its only our rst, theres more to come. I think we have a good team. I know its the best team weve had since Ive been here, so well see what we can do this year. We should have a good outcome if we do what we got to do. With his sixth score of the game, Wilson tied another Serra great, DeLeon Eskridge, who scored six in a playoff game against Scotts Valley in 2006.

Even Trusted Publications Can Get the Facts Wrong


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

We have a pretty good offense, Royals manager Ned Yost said. We keep tacking on runs. Billy is having a great offensive year and hes doing it all. Hes driving in runs, hitting with power and hitting the ball the other way. Salvador Perez sparked the winning rally with a leadoff single and was replaced by Chris Getz. After Alcides Escobar ied out, Gordon doubled to right and scored on Melky Cabreras single to give Kansas City an 8-6 lead. I was just trying to make contact, Gordon said. He threw me a good pitch, down and away, and I somehow barreled it. Bailey said he wasnt sure he could have done much else against Gordon. Looking back at it, a couple rst-pitch fastballs that were well located that they just put in play, and Gordon got that one fair, he said. You just have to tip your cap to that one. It probably would end up a ball. Neil Wagner replaced Bailey and walked Butler before Hosmer added an RBI double. Moustakas capped the scoring with a two-out, two-run single and was cut down trying to advance to second on the play. Theyre swinging hot bats right now, Bailey said. I know theyve got a bunch of guys that hit .300 and hit home runs. Thats the start of a winning team. From here on out theyre going to be a pretty good team in the AL and denitely compete in the next couple of years. Greg Holland (4-1) pitched a scoreless eighth to get the victory. As starter Rich Harden struck out 10 in ve innings, but was charged with four runs and eight hits. He had eight Ks through three innings. Kansas City starter Felipe Paulino also went ve innings, allowing four hits and a seasonhigh six runs. He issued a career-high six walks while striking out four.

Royals beat As 11-6 Webb Simpson rallies to win


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Billy Butler enjoyed this game at Oakland Coliseum very much. Butler homered twice and drove in three runs, Alex Gordon doubled home the goahead run and the Kansas City Royals scored ve times in the ninth inning to beat the Athletics 11-6 on Monday. Jeff Francoeur, Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas had two RBIs apiece and Melky Cabrera also drove in a run for the Royals, who avoided being mathematically eliminated for at least one more day. In 19 previous games in Oakland, Butler was 13 for 63, a .206 hitter, with no home runs and six RBIs. Who does say they like hitting here? Butler laughed. The ball carries better during the day, but thats usually true everywhere. Some days youre going to get them and some days youre going to miss them. I got some good pitches to hit and didnt miss. Butler, who nished with three hits, has been on a tear over the past week. Hes hit safely in six straight and has a .417 batting average over that stretch. It just shows were getting better offensively as a team, Butler said. When you look at all the positions, these are guys were going with next year and Kurt Suzuki its been good. Scott Sizemore hit a three-run homer for the As, who had won four straight. David DeJesus, Josh Willingham and Kurt Suzuki each drove in a run. Butler hit a tying two-run shot off Craig Breslow in the seventh, and the Royals broke it open against closer Andrew Bailey (0-4) in the ninth.

NORTON, Mass. Webb Simpson nished off an amazing comeback with three clutch birdies, the nal one on the second extra playoff hole Monday in the Deutsche Bank Championship for his second win in three weeks. On a day lled with big crowds and big moments appropriate to the FedEx Cup playoffs, Simpson delivered a stunning conclusion on the TPC Boston. He looked as if he would be the runner-up until knocking in a 30-foot birdie putt on the par-5 18th hole for a 6-under 65. That put him into a playoff when Chez Reavie, who had birdied the toughest holes on the back nine, made bogey on the easiest hole on the course at No. 18 for a 66. The nished regulation at 15-under 269. On the 18th hole in the playoff, Simpson again looked to be out of luck when Reavie chipped to tap-in range for birdie. But Simpson rolled in a 15-foot putt to keep the playoff going, and then won with an 8-foot putt on the 17th hole. Simpson won his rst PGA Tour title three weeks ago at the Wyndham Championship, putting him in good shape for the FedEx Cup playoffs and the chase for a $10 million prize.

Now, he goes to No. 1 in the standings and is assured of being among the top ve when the FedEx Cup concludes at the Tour Championship at the end of the month. I thought winning the second time would be easier, Simpson said. That was never the case on a breezy Labor Day south of Boston, a nal round so scrambled that seven players including world No. 1 Luke Donald had a share of the lead at some point. Simpson one-putted seven of his last eight greens, mostly for par on the back nine in regulation to stay in the hunt, then received just enough help from Reavie. The win was lled with perks, beyond his ranking in the FedEx Cup race. Simpson locked up a spot on the Presidents Cup team in Australia, and moves to No. 14 in the world. Reavie, who started the season on a medical exemption from knee surgery last year and wont get his full PGA Tour status back until January, came roaring up the leaderboard on the back nine. He made four birdies in a six-hole stretch including on the toughest par 3 at No. 11 and the toughest hole at No. 14 and was poised to capture his second PGA Tour title until one wedge cost him. was intentionally walked. After a forceout at home, Cody Ross hit a two-run double. Brad Brach, the third Padres reliever that inning, walked pinch-hitter Mark DeRosa with the bases loaded to run San Franciscos lead to 71. The Padres walked four that inning. Sandoval struck out in the ninth inning. Stauffer lost his third straight start. allowed four runs and seven hits in six innings, struck out one and walked one. In his previous start, Stauffer lasted only 1 2-3 innings and had a career-high seven walks in an 8-5 loss at Dodger Stadium. Six of them were in the second inning alone, three with the bases loaded. Hes not working himself out of jams, San Diego manager Bud Black said. A little bit of the long ball has gotten to him. Hes not stringing good pitches together. San Diegos Jesus Guzman hit an RBI single in the rst. NOTES: Giants RF Carlos Beltran was scratched from the lineup. Manager Bruce Bochy said he had either serious food poisoning or the u and was sick all night. ... The Padres reinstated OF Chris Denora from the 15-day DL before the game. Denora had two doubles. ... Giants LHP Eric Surkamp (0-0, 1.50 ERA) will make his second career start on Tuesday night. The Padres will counter with LHP Wade LeBlanc (2-4, 5.14).

in right-center on a 2-0 pitch. He led off the fourth with a shot into the right eld seats on a 2-1 pitch. Those balls were well-hit, Bochy said. Hes strong. It doesnt matter what park hes in, he hits them well. He gave us what we needed. He got us on the board there early. Good day for him. The Giants have hit seven homers in their last ve games after going homerless in their previous six. Sandovals rst homer, to one of the deepest parts of spacious Petco Park, was estimated at 436 feet. Its not that easy, especially in this park, Sandoval said. Its tough to hit home runs so I dont try to hit home runs. It was the third time Sandoval has had two homers in a game. The rst two were in 2009. The pitches today were pitches that were middle of the plate and missed locations, Stauffer said. Sandoval ied out to left in his third at-bat.

Turkey beats Gasol-less Spain


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SIAULIAI, Lithuania After qualifying for the second round before even appearing on the court, Turkey beat Spain 65-57 on Monday to hand the defending champion its rst loss of the European Championship. Spain did not use Los Angeles Lakers center Pau Gasol, who was resting a twisted ankle, and scored only two points in the nal quarter. Turkey nished the game with a 16-0 run. Turkey was assured of going through when Britain beat Poland 88-81 earlier in the day in Group A. Spain, Turkey and host Lithuania made it through from that

group. Elsewhere, Greece booked a place in the next round by beating Croatia 74-69 in Group C. Croatia was surprisingly eliminated. Finland beat Montenegro 71-65 in Group C, while Bulgaria defeated Georgia 79-69 in Group D. In a Group A match between two eliminated teams, Israel edged Italy 9695 in overtime. Already-qualified Germany edged Latvia 81-80. Dirk Nowitzki and Chris Kaman sat out the fourth quarter. Ukraines 74-61 win over Belgium allowed Georgia to advance. Macedonia beat Bosnia-Herzegovina 75-63 and that

result, along with Greeces win, also helped Finland go through. Spain, Turkey, Lithuania, France, Serbia and Germany will be together in one group. Russia, Slovenia, Georgia, Macedonia, Greece and Finland will be in the other. Russia made sure to win Group D by defeating Slovenia 65-64 on Sergey Monyas last-second shot. Both teams are through. Head-to-head results among qualied teams count in the second round. The top three teams in each of the four groups advance. The two finalists qualify for next years Olympics in London.

Serena,Djokovic make quarters at U.S.Open


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Serena Williams fought off the wind, along with brief urries of effectiveness from her opponent, to advance to the quarternals of the U.S. Open on Monday with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Ana Ivanovic. Williams closed out the match with four straight serves that Ivanovic couldnt get back clocked Serena Williams at between 99 and 111 mph in a blustery Arthur Ashe Stadium that had both players ghting with their tosses and topspin all day. I didnt even go for winners at any point, said Williams, who hit only 16. I just tried to get it over because it was so windy. It was definitely tough. Seeded only 28th after missing big chunks of the last two years with

injuries to her foot, Williams nonetheless improved to 16-0 this year on hardcourt. She has yet to drop a set at the U.S. Open and now nds herself in her rst Grand Slam quarterfinal since last year at Wimbledon, when she won her 13th major title. With each win at Flushing Meadows, she makes a stronger case that the 28 before her name at this tournament is only a number. When healthy, she might be the best in the world. I dont know if Im the best or not, she said. I believe I am and I think a lot of other girls, women in the locker room, believe they are, too, as they should. I dont think anyone should go out and say that theyre not. The top player on the mens side, Novak Djokovic, opened his fourthround match with a thrilling 16-14 rst-set tiebreaker win over No. 22 Alexandr Dolgopolov. Things got easier from there in a 7-6 (14), 6-4, 6-2 victory. This is one of the longest

tiebreaks I ever played, Djokovic said. It was certainly exciting to be part of it. But, you know, I knew that I needed to win that set. Djokovic saved four set points and nally closed out the set on his sixth chance. When Dolgopolov missed a forehand to give Djokovic the set, Djokovic pumped his st and put his hands to his ears to take in the applause from the fans at Louis Armstrong Stadium, which sees fewer and fewer headliners as the tournament progresses and the big matches move into Ashe. It was a packed stadium. It was a different experience because I havent played on that court for a while, Djokovic said. In the womens match, 16th-seeded Ivanovic, the 2008 French Open champion and a one-time world No. 1, came in on a rebound after a slide down the rankings into the 60s. At times against Williams, ashes of the old Ivanovic showed, especially when she drew back to 3-3 in the rst set after dropping the rst three games in eight minutes.

Taking the ball early, unafraid to step inside the baseline to return Williams second serves, Ivanovic was the aggressor during that portion and in parts of the second set when she tried, unsuccessfully, to make up the break she lost in the rst game. But she couldnt overcome eight double faults, including three while serving at 3-4 in the rst set, and didnt have an answer for Williams who was less aggressive (16 winners to 20 for Ivanovic), but more consistent (14 unforced errors to 29) and also had more bite on her serve (nine aces). My serve broke down a little more than hers, Ivanovic said. I still created lots of opportunities and I felt I was stepping up a lot and I just felt that was the biggest difference today. Next up for Williams is No. 17 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, who made it to her second Grand Slam quarternal with a 5-7, 6-3, 6-4 win over former French Open champion Francesca Schiavone.

The three-set match included 16 service breaks over 31 games and, appropriately enough, ended when Pavlyuchenkova hit a forehand winner on match point to break Schiavones serve for the ninth time. The players combined for 21 double-faults. Im going to say that I dont want to go out there and enjoy just being on center court playing against Serena, Pavlyuchenkova said. I would like to do well, try to ght, and with my effort, Ill try to beat her. In other early play, 20th-seeded Janko Tipsarevic outlasted 2003 French champion Juan Carlos Ferrero 7-5, 5-7, 7-5, 6-2 in a match that took 3 hours, 43 minutes. Tipsarevic will play Djokovic in an all-Serb quarternal. Others playing later Monday were No. 8 Mardy Fish, No. 3 Roger Federer and top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki.

Races loosen up as September begins


By Jon Krawczynski
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The nal month of the baseball season is upon us, and intrigue is unusually absent with the postseason looming. The contenders have been identied, and the pretenders are looking forward to the offseason. Four of the six division leaders have cushions of at least six games, and the wild-card races are all but over as well. The Phillies, Brewers and Diamondbacks are rolling to division titles in the National League, with the Atlanta Braves

enjoying a comfortable lead over St. Louis and San Francisco for the NL wild card. Things are a little tighter in the American League, which features the only two races worth watching. Justin Verlander and the Tigers are up 7 1/2 games on the Cleveland Indians in the AL Central, but it does get interesting on both coasts. The New York Yankees lead the Boston Red Sox by 2 1/2 games in the East. And even though the loser of the race will get into the playoffs, there is still that division title and valuable playoff positioning at stake. Out West, the defending AL

champion Texas Rangers have seemed like the class of the division for most of the season, but the Los Angeles Angels and their stellar rotation just keep hanging around. The Angels were 3 1/2 games back with 22 games to play, plenty of time to make their move. The champion Giants already have started cutting some of their veterans loose, so if the Rangers falter in the AL, that would mean that neither team from last years World Series would make the playoffs for just the third time since 1991, according to STATS, LLC. The Cardinals and Tigers failed to

make it in 2007 after facing off in the 06 World Series and the White Sox and Astros both missed out in 2006 after playing in 05. With so much of the drama missing from the push for the playoffs, much of the attention will turn to the MVP races, which are as wide open as ever. Will Verlander become the rst pitcher since 1992 to win in the AL? Will Matt Kemp be able to overcome the Dodgers lousy season to win it in the National League? Heres a quick look at what to watch for as the 2011 regular season winds to a close:

BEST RACES: All the action is in the American League this September. AL East: Ever since picking up hit No. 3,000, Derek Jeter has put all those questions about being washed up behind him and Curtis Granderson continues his pursuit of the MVP award as the Yankees lead the Red Sox. AL West: The Rangers led the division by as many as seven games in the middle of August, but Jered Weaver, Dan Haren and Ervin Santana have pitched the Angels right back into the mix.

Some may get a tiny needle for flu shots


By Lauran Neergaard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Its u vaccine time again and some lucky shot-seekers will nd that the needle has shrunk. The rst u shot that works with a lessscary skin prick instead of an inch-long needle is hitting the market this fall. Sorry kids, this option so far is just for adults, and its so brand-new that it will take some searching to nd a dose. But there are plenty of the other varieties standard shots, a special high-dose shot for seniors and the needle-free squirt-in-the-nose option to go around. At least 166 million doses of u vaccine are expected to be produced this year. The big question is whether people will get it. Usually each years u vaccine varies from the previous versions as different inuenza strains emerge. This year, the vaccines a duplicate because the three u strains that sickened people last winter still are circulating. Scientic studies arent clear about how much a persons immunity wanes over a year, although it varies by age and overall health. But federal health ofcials and the American Academy of Pediatrics weighed the evidence and say dont skip this years vaccination its the only way to be sure your immune system remains revved enough for the best protection. Youre not going to be able to count on that vaccine protecting you throughout a second season, says Dr. Lisa Grohskopf of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A yearly vaccination now is recommended for virtually everyone, except babies younger than 6 months and people with severe allergies to the eggs used to make it. Last year, 49 percent of children and 41 percent of adults were vaccinated. Say you never catch the u? You could be a

carrier, unknowingly spreading the misery when you feel little more than a snife, says Dr. William Schaffner of Vanderbilt University, president of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. You should be vaccinated each and every year to ensure both youre protected and youre giving the maximum protection to people around you, he says. Here are some questions and answers about u vaccinations: Q: How does the new skin-deep vaccine work? A: Sano Pasteurs Fluzone Intradermal uses a needle less than a tenth of an inch long to inject vaccine just below the skins surface. This layer, called the dermis, is so rich in a certain type of immune cell that the new shot uses a lower dose of the same vaccine thats in regular u shots. Studies found it triggered as much protection as full-strength muscle shots although it did cause more skin reactions like redness, swelling and itching. Theres little data on pain perception. But its only for 18- to 64-year-olds. It hasnt been studied in childrens more-tender skin. Sano estimates it will sell less than 1 million doses this year while introducing the newly approved product to doctors, before a full market launch next u season. Q: What about the original ouchless u vaccine, the nasal-spray version? A: MedImmunes FluMist is for a different age group, people ages 2 to 49 who are healthy, meaning no one with underlying health conditions or who is pregnant. Unlike u shots that are made with killed u virus, FluMist is made with live but weakened virus.

Q: For older adults, does CDC recommend the high-dose shot? A: The immune system weakens with age so that it doesnt respond as well to an ordinary u shot. Sanos Fluzone High-Dose is a standard into-the-muscle shot but it contains four times the usual dose, to spur more immune response in people 65 and older. First sold last year, studies still are under way to track if that translates into fewer illnesses and hospitalizations. It can cause more of the typical u-shot side effects. The CDC says its OK for seniors to choose either a high-dose shot or the regular shots from a variety of manufacturers. Q: Whos at highest risk from the u? A: Young children, anyone 50 or older, anyone with chronic medical conditions such as asthma and certain heart or kidney problems, and pregnant women. A u vaccination during pregnancy has the added benet of passing some protection to the baby. Q: When should I get vaccinated? A: Anytime, but it takes about two weeks for protection to kick in. Flu typically starts circulating around November, and peaks around January. Some chain pharmacies started vaccinating a month ago. Next month, Hawaii begins offering free in-school vaccinations for elementary and middle school students. Dont put it off too long, says Dr. Scott Gorenstein of Great Neck, N.Y., an emergency physician whose own son Nate, then 4, nearly died of u during the 2009 pandemic. The boy already had been exposed by the time vaccine nally was available that fall. Now, Gorenstein says the whole family gets inoculated in early fall even though Nate has developed a vaccine allergy and as a precaution checks into the hospital for his dose. We got lucky, says Gorenstein, who now advises a group called Families Fighting Flu. You just dont want to be a statistic that is preventable.

It costs about $650,000 to $700,000 annually to run the location, said Sharon Peterson, director of operations for Samaritan House. Medication and insurance are the clinics largest costs. But the clinic manages to meet patient needs and keep wait times to get in to about a week. Having local doctors support the clinic is part of the reason it is successful.

CDC says two children HEALTH sickened by swine flu


By Marilynn Marchione
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A new strain of swine u has shown up in two children in Pennsylvania and Indiana who had direct or indirect contact with pigs. The virus includes a gene from the 2009 pandemic strain that might let it spread more easily than pig viruses normally do. So far, theres no sign that the virus has spread beyond the two children, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Friday. We wanted to provide some information without being alarmist, because people have contact with pigs at fairs this time of year and doctors should watch for possible u cases, said Lyn Finelli, the CDCs u surveillance chief. Were always

concerned when we see transmission of animal viruses to humans. People rarely get u from pigs only 21 cases have been documented in the last ve years and its too soon to know how infective this virus will be, she said. The new strain is a hybrid of viruses that have infected pigs over the last decade and a gene from the H1N1 strain that caused the pandemic two years ago. It is the rst combination virus to turn up in people since the pandemic, said Michael Shaw, a lab chief at the CDC. Its classied as an H3N2 virus. The rst case was an Indiana boy under age 5 who was sickened in late July. He had no contact with pigs, but a caretaker did in the weeks before the boy fell ill. He was hospitalized and has recovered, and no other family members appear ill.

Hospitals are generally happy to support the effort since it cuts down on emergency visits over time, Viess said. Started almost 20 years ago by local doctors, the clinic relies on local volunteer doctors who are still practicing and retired to keep the clinic open five days a week. Working by appointment only, the facility has three employees and many volunteers. Patients can have general health questions answered, get a checkup on their teeth or eyes and hopefully establish a relationship with a single doctor, Viess said. Registered nurse Pat Brogan, one of the three employees, began as a volunteer at the facility and started working in 2001.

FDA cooking up helpful new nutrition facts label


By Shaya Tayefe Mohajer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Uncle Sam wants you to know more about what youre eating. The Food and Drug Administration wants to revise the nutrition facts label that breakdown of fats, salts, sugars and nutrients on packaging to give consumers more useful information and help ght the national obesity epidemic. A proposal is in the works to change several parts of the label, including more accurate serving sizes, a greater emphasis on calories and a diminished role in the daily percent values for substances like fat, sodium and carbohydrates. Its the latest attempt to improve the way Americans view food and make choices about what they eat, and comes in the wake of major advances in nutrition regulations by the Obama administration. Calorie counts are popping up on menus of chain restaurants across the country and the longstanding food pyramid was toppled this year by the U.S. government in favor of a plate that gives a picture of what a healthy daily diet looks like. The struggle to redesign the labels on every box, can and carton has been in the works since 2003, and some of the changes could be proposed as soon as this year. FDA Deputy Commissioner Michael Taylor cautions not to expect a grand

overhaul, but the revamped label does mark a shift to create a more useful nutritional snapshot of foods millions of Americans consume every day. Theres no question obesity is a central public health concern that the nutrition facts panel can play a role in. Its obviously not a magic wand but it can be an informative tool, said Taylor. For two decades, the black and white label has offered a glance of nutritional information about whats inside each package, including calories and grams of fats, cholesterol, protein and carbohydrates. Critics have complained its confusing and doesnt offer a simpler way to make a choice about whether its good for them a judgment the industry wants to leave to consumers. The proposed label is likely to produce several changes, said Taylor. For starters, portion sizes should better reect reality. The 2.5 servings listed on a 20-ounce soda bottle are typically slurped up by an individual in one sitting rather than split between a couple and their child. The same goes for a can of soup, where one serving is often listed as twofths of a can. The FDA is also likely to nd a way to emphasize calories, which many people rely on for weight control. Other items likely to disappear or change because they havent proven useful include calories from fat and the daily percent value numbers that show how much what an average diet should include.

Still, some wish the revisions would go further to list information about the amount of preservatives in a food and the degree of processing it has undergone. Health activists say such changes could help trim waistlines in America. The food industry wouldnt like to see many major changes. The current label is easily recognizable and

adaptable to food packages of different sizes because its simple, said Regina Hildwine, director for science, policy, labeling and standards at the Grocery Manufacturers Association. Hildwine says her Washingtonbased group, which represents 300 top food, beverage companies including Nestle, General Mills Inc.,

and Coca-Cola Co. has provided extensive feedback to the FDA in the run-up to their proposed rule. I personally talk with FDA on a regular basis to share views and get information and sometimes they call me, said Hildwine. Advocates believe that the government and industry are too cozy, and that food companies are reluctant to overhaul food labels for fear of their prots being hurt. Its against the industrys interest to help the consumer make better choices because then theyll sell less food, said Kelly Brownell, director of Yale Universitys Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity. If the population is going to lose weight, its going to eat less food, so that means less business for them. Theres no shortage of ideas on how to improve the label. A recent contest by the University of California, Berkeley and Good Magazine yielded 60 colorful new designs. A familiar theme popped up: red, yellow and green colors of a trafc light to indicate whether a food is good or bad. Another offered thumbs up and thumbs down on nutrients, depending on how much. Manufacturers dont think a stoplight system would work because most foods have a mix of nutrients and diets are not the same for everyone, Hildwine said. A color-coded scheme would not be as helpful to consumers as a factbased approach, she said.

appointments each week, said his attorney, Tom Girardi. Ruigomezs father said his son is making progress in regaining movement and relearning everyday skills through physical and occupational therapy. Hes at home getting stronger every day, said James Ruigomez. Hes been trying to keep a positive attitude. Hes been trying to cope with the loss of his rst love, Jessica, mourning her, and trying to stay as positive as he can through this tragic, tragic event. James Ruigomez said he feels grateful that his son survived the blast. What a miracle it is that he was able to escape that horric event, he said. Were willing to do whatever we can to make sure this doesnt happen to anybody else in the entire world. Morales mother, Rene Morales, said her family has not been the same since her oldest daughter was killed. Jessica Morales two brothers, sister, father and relatives miss her tremendously, she said. Her older brother and cousins got tattoos with her name. Theres not one day that goes by that we dont think about her and miss her, Rene Morales said. When she was here, our house was alive. Since shes gone, its denitely not the same. Around the subdivision where the pipeline exploded, there are signs of progress. Construction signs have gone up on dozens of charred lots. Federal and state regulators have promised major safety upgrades in the wake of the San Bruno accident and several other poles already. In addition, more time would allow the city to create its own rules regulating aesthetics. Rather than be placed in the air and blocking views, the wireless communication devices could be placed underground, he said. Lastly, a step back would allow the city and wireless companies to work together on a plan which would hopefully require less installations, he said. State and federal laws do limit a citys ability to deny telecommunication applications. Such installations are put in the public right-of-way rather than private land. Visual impacts are a valid reason for denying a cell tower application or requiring its modication, but the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 does not allow perceived health risks as a basis because electromagnetic radiation is scientically unproven. However, the moratorium will allow the city to discuss and study the issue, City Attorney Gus Guinan wrote in a staff report. In October, 27 applications were submitted to the city on behalf of two companies, said Assistant Public Works Director Art Morimoto. Some will allow the companies to attach equipment to existing utility poles while others will require poles to be erected. Burlingame does require the applicants to hold a public comment period, which previously ended for both, and to respond to those comments. Morimoto explained responding is still under way. Putting the antennas up could benet meetings to cull comments or questions over the last several months but as late as July Jacobs Gibson said attendance was low. Tissier is hoping for better turnout this time and said it is in the publics favor. Equal representation is one of the most basic tenets of American democracy, she said. State elections code requires the board review and potentially adjust its district boundaries every 10 years after the federal census to keep the jurisdictions as nearly equal in population as possible. In tweaking the districts, the committee is looking at topography, geography, cohesiveness and compactness of territory as well as head count. And thats where public input is most important. This board needs to hear from as many segments of the public as possible before the new district lines are nalized, Tissier said. Census data now indicates San Mateo Countys population to be 718,451, a slight increase over the 2000 number, but haggling continues over how jail populations are counted. high-prole pipeline ruptures. And in the face of widespread criticism, utility Pacic Gas & Electric Co. has overhauled its leadership and vowed to set a new industry standard for safety. Still, as the blasts one-year anniversary approaches this Friday, many residents question why the company has not been ned for poor record-keeping leading up to the blast. They hope a report by federal investigators placing blame on those responsible will speed their path to justice. The National Transportation Safety Board last week said PG&Es litany of failures led to the explosion. The board found that substandard welds and other problems dating to the 1956 installation of the pipeline were the direct cause of the accident. The companys inadequate inspection program for pipelines, which allowed the bad welds and other weaknesses to go undetected, also contributed, the board said. PG&E President Chris Johns said in a statement to the Associated Press that the company remains deeply sorry and is working hard to improve the safety, quality and performance of its gas system. After the San Bruno tragedy, PG&E will never be the same company, Johns said. We are committed for the long term to helping the community rebuild, to learning from this experience and to making the necessary changes in our culture and operating practices to operate our pipeline system as safely as possible. Gilda Tarzia, who was close to retirement before the re consumed everything she had, said she is still too traumatized to consider rebuilding in San Bruno. more companies. ExteNet doesnt offer wireless service but provides the infrastructure for such companies. The proposed moratorium would not affect these applications. Earlier this summer, residents banded together to research the topic and submit questions and concerns to the companies and the city. Residents have previously questioned the need for the proposed antennas adding it could diminish property values. For the businesses, the installations are needed to meet the ever-growing need for more cell capacity. Its not just about dropped calls. Smart phones have increased the demand for wireless requirements. In the meantime, the city started discussing a city-wide ordinance providing regulations for all wireless communications facilities that encourages the latest technology and stealth facilities; requires periodic reporting about legal compliance; requires consolidation of facilities; requires information regarding need and alternatives; and includes mandatory notication and hearing requirements for facilities within 600 feet of residential areas. Additional rules will be set through a zoning ordinance. The council meets 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 6 at City Hall, 521 Primrose Road, Burlingame. For more information visit www.burlingame.org. The total divided equally out over the ve districts pencils out to just more than 143,690 residents although the population shifts in specic districts have varied differences. District Two had the largest change, jumping 4.7 percent from 134,868, followed by District One with a 3.1 percent increase. Districts Three and Five gained only a slight population, with .4 percent and .3 percent respectively. Only District Four lost residents, dropping .4 percent from 131,619 to 131,067. Redistricting must be done by Nov. 1 so Wilson said the county pushed to put the issue on the Sept. 13 board agenda to allow time for follow-up questions or adjustments prior to the deadline. If you go, the hearing is 1 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 7 in Board Chambers, 400 County Government Center Redwood City. Comments can also be submitted to DistrictLines@co.sanmateo.ca.us.

I just keep thinking about what Joe looked like when he came up the street. His face was all ash, said Zapata, 49, a real estate agent. It looked like he was wearing a shredded T-shirt, but I looked closer and it was all his skin melting off. I knew we had to get him out of there or he was going to leave us. Ruigomezs girlfriend, 20-year-old Jessica Morales, was visiting his house to watch the rst game of the NFL season when the initial explosion ripped through the neighborhood. Side-by-side they tried to ee the house, but a second blast engulfed them. The next thing Ruigomez knew, he was staggering in the street. Her body was found in a neighbors shed. It was the last time Ruigomez saw Morales, according to his attorneys, who said he was still too traumatized to speak about it publicly. Me and jess were super close and each others rst true love so it (denitely is) hard, Ruigomez said in a Facebook tribute to Morales, who had hoped to be a fashion designer.

have put in 27 applications to install antennas in residential areas of Burlingame to meet the growing need for cell service. Company representatives say it will allow for increased service throughout the county while residents nd the devices to be both a blight and unnecessary. Since the city does not yet have a policy in place about wireless communications facilities, residents requested a moratorium on installation to allow for more research. On Tuesday, the City Council will consider a 45-day temporary moratorium for that reason. However, it will not stop applications previously led. Were getting lots of feedback from residents objecting to the proposed locations of these antennas. A moratorium would allow everyone more time to understand the issues, Mayor Terry Nagel wrote in an email. In addition to the Tuesday council meeting, she encouraged those interested to attend the study session scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Oct. 5 in the librarys Lane Room. Resident Steve Lamont agreed with Nagel. He would like more time to create a list of what is already in the city from individual antennas to items placed on the

splitting cities, people said all cities should be in the same district. So the committee might ask what would that look like? Or, what would a coastside district look like? Wilson said. Although the Board of Supervisors represents the county as a whole, each member must reside in the district they represent. Any shift of boundary lines could potentially alter the eligibility of an individual to run for a specic seat. Particularly at stake is the supervisorial district currently held by Supervisor Rose Jacobs Gibson and up for grabs in the next election. Jacobs Gibsons district primarily includes East Palo Alto, Menlo Park, North Fair Oaks and portions of Redwood City. Any change in boundaries could possibly bring in areas of Redwood Shores. The redistricting committee, comprised of Jacobs Gibson and Supervisor Adrienne Tissier, has held several public

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF DAVID CARLTON MINCKS Case Number 121509 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: David Carlton Mincks. A Petition for Probate has been filed by: Patriciia L. Mincks in the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo. The Petition of Probate requests that Patricia L. Mincks be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection of the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: October 3, 2011 at 9:00 a.m., Dept: 28, Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo, 400 County Center, Redwood City, CA 94063. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code section 9100. The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner: Lawrence R. Smalley, CSB #083881 Reese, Smalley, Wiseman & Schweitzer, LLP 1265 Willis St. Redding, CA 96001 (530)241-1611 Dated: 08/26/2011 Published in the San Mateo Daily Journal on Aug. 30, Sep. 6, 13 2011.
