NEW REBEL GROUP ATTEMPTS TO CAPTURE
COUNTRYS BIGGEST CITY
By Nicholas Ricardi
and Gillian Flaccus
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AURORA, Colo. University
of Colorado ofcials were looking
Sunday into whether James Holmes
used his role in a graduate program
there to amass an arsenal used in a
theater shooting rampage, but
school officials arent saying
whether they had any clue that he
was anything
more than a
har d- wor ki ng
student.
Holmes, 24, was not cooperating
with ofcials as he was being held
in solitary connement at a Denver-
area county detention facility,
Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates
said.
He lawyered up. Hes not talking
to us, the chief said. It could be
months before they learn the motive
behind the shootings that left 12
dead and 58 injured, with authori-
ties working with FBI behavioral
analysts and looking into Holmes
relationships.
Holmes is scheduled for an initial
hearing this morning. Last night,
investigators say they found a
Batman mask inside his apartment.
Police have said that Holmes
began buying guns at Denver-area
stores nearly two months before
Fridays shooting and that he
received at least 50 packages in four
months at his home and at school.
Also on Sunday, a gun range owner
east of Denver said he recently
rejected a membership application
from Holmes in part because of a
bizarre voice mail greeting on
Holmes phone.
While the University of Colorado
disclosed that it was cooperating
with police in the case, that disclo-
sure was one of the few the univer-

County ag
production
drops 4.7%
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The value of last years county agriculture
production dropped nearly 5 percent over the
prior year although a heightened interest in
beekeeping helped livestock products to jump
up by more than half, according to the coun-
tys annual crop report
The total gross value of agricultural produc-
tion in 2011 was $137,009,000 which is 4.7
percent less than the 2010 value of
$143,700,000.
That years total itself 3.7 percent less than
2009 although it was far from the 8.3 increase
before that point.
Even with dropping gures, Agricultural
Commissioner Fred Crowder noted in a letter
to the Board of Supervisors that each dollar of
agricultural production contribute $1.62 to
$3.50 in economic multipliers through related
activities like harvesting, processing and dis-
tribution.
Crowder will deliver the full annual report
to the supervisors at Tuesdays meeting.
Most of the countys agricultural commodi-
ties remained relatively stable or saw an
increase but oral and nursery crops posted a
loss of 6.6 percent in value and fruit an nut
crops saw a 27 percent reduction.
Floral and nursery crops make up more than
half of the countys agricultural production so
any reduction has a considerable impact on
the overall value, according to Crowder.
Unseasonably late rains and changes in pro-
duction practices contributed to the $617,000
drop in value for fruit and nuts, according to
the report.

San Bruno
explosion, fire
sparks national
conversations
on safety
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Most communities feel a sense
of safety, like nothing bad can
happen in their town.
That changed in San Bruno
Sept. 9, 2010 when a large boom
rocked the city that evening. Early
reports were that a plane crashed.
Those in the Glenview/Crestmoor
neighborhood quickly saw ames
shooting in the air, engulng the
homes of neighbors and spreading
fast. Even after the source of the
re a ruptured natural gas line
was known, there was more
than an hour during which time
rst responders could do little but
prevent the ames from spreading
and help others get to safety.
The fatal explosion and re for-
ever changed not only the San
Bruno neighborhood in the hills
but has also been cited in national

Deputies: Jackson safe
after reported missing
LOS ANGELES Authorities said
Sunday that Katherine Jackson, the
mother of Michael Jackson and the
guardian of his three minor children, is
safe in Arizona with family members
after she was reported missing.
The disclosure came after another con-
cerned family member ofcially reported
her missing Saturday night amid a dispute
over the estate of her superstar son.
A person familiar with Katherine
Jacksons whereabouts said she is with her
daughter Rebbie in Arizona and following
a doctors orders to rest. The person was
not authorized to speak publicly and spoke
on condition of anonymity.
The 82-year-old Jackson family matri-
arch was reported missing by a relative
on Saturday night. Sheriffs ofcials
later said they believe she was in
Arizona with a relative, but they were
still trying to establish contact with her.
Katherine Jacksons whereabouts
caused concern for some family mem-
bers in recent days, and her granddaugh-
ter Paris Jackson issued a frantic plea on
Twitter early Sunday.
I havent spoken with her in a week I
want her home now, she posted from
her Twitter account. She also tweeted a
number for people to contact in case
they saw her grandmother.
Katherine Jackson also hadnt been in
contact with her attorneys, who worked
Sunday to learn more
information about her
whereabouts and why
she had suddenly
become incommuni-
cado, including with
her grandchildren.
First of all, lets
hope that this is all just
a big misunderstand-
ing and a totally
benign situation, her
attorney Perry Sanders Jr. said Sunday.
Assuming that she did actually leave on
doctors orders, no matter which doctor, it
has certainly created an absolutely irregular
situation whereby she has been out of con-
tact with her grandchildren.
The mystery of Katherine Jacksons
whereabouts was compounded by a
recent visit from her sons former physi-
cian, Dr. Allan Metzger, who examined
her July 14 after being brought to her
home in Calabasas by someone close to
the family, said Katherine Jacksons
attorney Sandy Ribera.
The visit came one day before
Katherine Jackson was scheduled to
depart on an RV trip to the Southwest to
watch her sons perform at concerts. The
elder Jackson never made any of the
shows and Metzger apparently told her
not to take the trip, Ribera said.
Metzger is not Katherine Jacksons pri-
mary physician and her regular doctor was-
nt aware of his house call until concerns
about Katherine Jacksons whereabouts
were raised, Ribera said.
A phone message left for Metzger at
his Beverly Hills practice was not imme-
diately returned Sunday.
Metzger treated Michael Jackson ear-
lier in his career and met with the singer
once in the months before he died.
Defense attorneys for the physician con-
victed of killing the pop superstar called
him as a witness to try to show the singer
was attempting to obtain a powerful
anesthetic for home use.
Despite being a defense witness,
Metzger aided prosecutors by telling
jurors that he refused Jacksons request
and warned him of the risks.
Paris Jackson referenced Metzgers visit
in a tweet early Sunday, writing, the same
doctor that testied on behalf of dr murray
saying my father was a drug addict (a lie) is
caring for my grandmother... just saying.
Conrad Murray was convicted of
involuntary manslaughter for the June
2009 propofol overdose death of
Jackson at age 50.
The family drama unfolded days after
it was revealed that some of Katherine
Jacksons children had written a letter to
the executors of Michael Jacksons
estate, alleging his will, which left his
fortune to his children, his mother and
charity, was a fake.
The undated letter, signed by Janet,
Randy, Tito, Rebbie and Jermaine Jackson,
claimed Katherine Jackson was being
manipulated by the executors, John Branca
and John McClain, her health had been
affected, and she suffered a mini-stroke.

T
he Jose Sanchez (II) estate of Rancho
Buri Buri was granted to him in
1836. When Sanchez died in 1843,
his estate was cut up and sold on a piecemeal
pattern due to the debt incurred in the court
battles and the need of his heirs to live off of
their estate. The Mexican Rancho owners
were land rich but money poor and they were
continually mortgaging their land without
regard to amounts owed or methods of paying
off the debts. Therefore, after Jose Antonio
Sanchez died (1775-1843) his heirs divided
and sold off their inheritance to the ood of
land hungry immigrants in the newly formed
state of California (1850).
The most desirable and available land of the
future San Bruno, at that time, lay on the at
land east of County Road (El Camino Real) in
the 1850s. Money began pouring onto the
Peninsula from successful businessmen north
of the Peninsula. The land was subdivided and
trees were planted to give the area a park look.
They named the tract the San Bruno Park
Addition. A rush to purchase the land ensued
beginning with the South San Francisco Land
and Improvement Company. D. O. Mills (of
Millbrae fame) and his brother-in-law, Ansel
Ives Easton (living in Burlingame) then pur-
chased the land then sold the land after the
#40 Line Trolley was constructed down the
Peninsula in 1903. It was opened for develop-
ment by realtors George A. Hensley and
Alfred T. Green (with R. Masson Smith as a
silent partner). On one of the promotional
brochures it was stated the other investors at
the time of Nov. 11, 1906, A.C. Kains was
shown to be the manger of the Canadian Bank
of Commerce; John S. Angus was a capitalist;
W. J. Martin was president of the S.S.F.
Railroad and Power Company; George H.
Mastick, attorney; and George F. Chapman,
general manager of the United Railroads of
San Francisco. Most of these men have streets
named for them in the downtown area.
Lots could be bought with little money
down ($200) and low monthly payments
($25). These 25-foot lots had no sidewalks or
curbs and faced a dirt street that was not
paved until the 1920s. The streets were
impassable in the wet winter months. The
water table was near the surface so there was
well-water available in abundance.
Outhouses were constructed for sanitation
use. This would pose a problem later when the
community was built up. Prospective buyers
were coaxed down the Peninsula to San
Bruno by free trips on the #40 Line. A band
played as they got off the trolley and meal of
sandwiches and drinks were waiting for them
after they took a tour of the San Bruno Park
Addition.
The lots did not sell very fast and pur-
chasers tended to from San Francisco. Most
were looking for a piece of land where they
could spend their leisure time out of the city.

MILLBRAE I
recently attended a
family funeral in
Southern California.
The burial took
place at a long
established Catholic
Cemetery which
later decided to build a Mortuary facility on
their property. I knew from past experience
that this cemetery was well maintained and
had a good reputation. The immediate
family had other loved-ones buried at the
cemetery and wished to return this time too.
With the knowledge that this cemetery had a
Mortuary on the grounds they trusted it to be
convenient and decided to have this facility
handle the funeral arrangements.
Prior to the funeral I had some phone
contact with the Mortuary staff and saw
nothing out of the ordinary. But soon after I
spoke to family members who relayed
troubling details such as higher than average
costs, questionable service and other
apprehensions that raised a red-fag. I
listened carefully taking into consideration
that funerals and arrangements may be
conducted differently in Southern California
(as compared to here on the Peninsula).
Later though I discovered that these
concerns and others were all valid as I
experienced them myself during the funeral.
Coming from the background of owning
a family run and community supportive
funeral home I was embarrassed at what I
saw as a production line process with little
compassion or time to care for the families
this Mortuary is supposed to be serving.
I wondered how the Catholic Church
could allow this Mortuary to operate in such
a manner? Well, I did some research and
discovered that the Archdiocese of Los
Angeles has mortuaries located on a
number of their cemetery properties, but
does not operate them. According to the
Funeral Consumers Alliance of Southern
California the Archdiocese has an
arrangement with Stewart Enterprises
which is a New Orleans based mortuary
corporation. Stewart Enterprises runs a
website called Catholic Mortuaries.com
giving a misleading impression to many that
the Catholic Church operates these facilities.
When patronizing one of these
mortuaries on Catholic cemetery grounds
most families assume that they will be
receiving a level of comfort as they would
from their local church or parish priest.
None of this was evident during my
experience of extremely high costs
(compared to what was received) and the
dis-interested service provided by the
mortuary staff. I dont see this as a failing
of the Catholic cemetery, but of those in
charge of running this mortuary.
The point Im trying to make is to do
your homework and shop for a Funeral
establishment you are comfortable with.
Just because a Mortuary is located on
cemetery property doesnt mean they are
your only choice or that they offer fair costs
or give better quality ofservice. You have
the right to select what ever funeral home
you wish to conduct the arrangements. Talk
to various funeral directors, and ask friends
and families who they would recommend.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning 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. For more info

Suspending portions of Californias open
meeting law means cities could hold off on
things like posting agendas prior to meet-
ings or announcing decisions made in
closed session but San Mateo County offi-
cials plan to continue offering that informa-
tion to the public.
In a move to help close the budget gap,
California legislators opted to suspend
some requirements under the Brown Act.
Under the law, counties, cities, school dis-
tricts and other local agencies must post
agendas for meetings and disclose decisions
made in closed session. A state mandate
allows for those agencies to be reimbursed
for the work done. Cutting the funding for
the mandate has some arguing the legal
requirements also go away. But in San
Mateo County, local officials plan to con-
tinue the transparent practices. In addition,
most report not getting reimbursement for
meeting the mandate for many years.
For example, San Mateo County is owed
about $623,551 from the state for meeting
the open meeting law requirements, accord-
ing to county Budget Director Jim Saco.
When Governor Brown recently decided
to stop reimbursing local government agen-
cies for the costs of enforcing the Brown
Act, he did not rescind the Brown Act itself
he just made it an unfunded mandate,
said county Supervisor Don Horsley. Its a
shame that Californias budget is in such a
shambles that this is how the governor is
going to save an additional $95 million,
which he says will be reinstated should his
proposed tax initiative be approved in
November.
Despite that, Horsley said the county will
continue to provide public notices. Local
cities South San Francisco, San Bruno,
Millbrae, Burlingame, San Mateo, Foster
City, Belmont, San Carlos, Half Moon Bay
and Redwood City also confirmed that
the practices of making such information
available would not change.
For local officials the cut really doesnt
change anything since the last time a pay-
ment was received by most cities was in
2005 or 2006.
Without question, we could use these
resources for other important city objectives
but informing the community should always
be a vital function of government, said
Half Moon Bay City Manager Laura
Snideman.
Owed from state
Dating back to the 2006-07 fiscal year,
Half Moon Bay is owed $123,640 from the
state to cover meeting the Brown Act
requirements.
Redwood City typically requested reim-
bursements of $25,000 to $35,000 annually
to cover staff time related to preparing and
posting agendas for the council, boards and
commissions, Redwood City spokesman
Malcolm Smith said. Looking back as far as
2003, the city has not been reimbursed by
the state since at least that year, he said.
San Mateo has received 2.5 percent of its
outstanding reimbursement claims over the
past decade, said City Clerk Patrice Olds.
San Mateos annual claim averages
$26,382. The last time the city received a
payment was in the 2005-06 fiscal year. It
was for $1,887. Belmont last received a
payment in 2005 as well, said City Clerk
Terri Cook. Millbraes annual claim is a bit
less, at $18,000. Its last payment came
through in 2006, said City Clerk Angela
Louis.
Burlingames annual request is about
$20,000. Since the 1997-
98 fiscal year,
Burlingame is owed over
$200,000 to cover Brown
Act requirements.
We submit the annual
reports and sometimes
they pay and sometimes
they do not. ... We dont
rely on the payments to
run the city. If they pay,
then its gravy, said Burlingame Finance
Director Jesus Nava.
Foster City Mayor Art Kiesel hopes the
state learned something when making this
decision.
In the interest of keeping our residents
informed, Foster City will continue publish-
ing the agenda as it does today, said Kiesel.
I fully support transparency in government
and have hopeful expectations that the state
government will do so as well. Now that
some state representatives have read the
Brown Act, perhaps they might consider
implementing it for themselves.
Transparency
On Friday, the League of California Cities
Board of Directors adopted a resolution
congratulating cities for continuing to com-
ply with the Brown Act and called for the
Legislature to comply with similar trans-
parency requirements. Some mandates
within the Brown Act were also suspended
in 1990.
The suspension of the mandate doesnt
affect school districts, but superintendents
agreed the local districts will continue to
work openly with the public.

SAN FRANCISCO Mitt Romney says
President Barack Obamas decision to meet
with the families of victims of the Colorado
shooting was the right thing.
The Republican presidential candidate
spoke to donors in San Francisco Sunday
night at roughly the same time Obama con-
soled grieving families in Aurora, Colo. A
gunman opened re in a crowded movie the-
ater there early Friday, killing 12 and wound-
ing scores more.
Romney said he appreciates the presidents
actions Sunday. And he
avoided generally avoided
partisan attacks, declining
to go after Obama by name
in keeping with the seri-
ousness of the day.
The fundraiser opened
with a moment of silence.
Romney told roughly 250
donors, who paid as
much as $50,000 to
attend the San Francisco event, that hes
been thinking about the senseless killing
in Colorado.

ANAHEIM Demonstrators stormed a
police department in Orange County, Calif.,
on Sunday to protest an officer-involved
shooting that left an unarmed man dead and
led to a violent clash between witnesses and
police.
A crowd swarmed the Anaheim Police
headquarters lobby Sunday as Chief John
Welter held a news conference to discuss what
happened the night before. The protesters
chanted no justice, no peace and cops,
pigs, murderers as ofcers stood by and
watched.
Welter said two ofcers were placed on
paid leave after one of them fatally shot 24-
year-old Manuel Diaz.
He said the ofcers approached three men
in an alleyway when they ran away. One of
the ofcers chased Diaz to the front of an
apartment complex where the shooting
occurred.
Welter would not say what led the ofcer to
shoot Diaz, citing an independent investiga-
tion by the countys district attorney ofce.
Police said Diaz was a known gang member.
Mayor Tom Tait said he will ask the state
attorney general to assist in the probe.
Transparency is essential. Whatever the
truth is, we will own it, Tait said.
The shooting sparked a melee in the neigh-
borhood as some threw rocks and bottles at
ofcers who were securing the scene for
investigators to collect evidence. Sgt. Bob
Dunn, the departments spokesman, said that
as ofcers detained an instigator, the crowd
advanced on ofcers so they red bean bags
and pepper balls at them.
Video captured by a KCAL-TV crew
showed a chaotic scene as some people
ducked to the ground and others scattered
screaming. A man is seen yelling at an ofcer
even as a weapon is pointed at him; two adults
huddled to shield a boy and girl. Meanwhile,
a police dog charged at several people sitting
on the grass, including a woman and a child in
a stroller, before biting a man in the arm.
Dunn said the dog accidentally got out of a
patrol car. He said he didnt know whether
police warned the crowd to disperse before
ring the rubber bullets and pepper balls.

Marine Corps creates law enforcement battalions
CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. The Marine Corps has cre-
ated its rst law enforcement battalions a lean, specialized
force of military police ofcers that it hopes can quickly deploy
worldwide to help investigate crimes from terrorism to drug
trafcking and train edgling security forces in allied nations.
The Corps activated three such battalions last month. Each
is made up of roughly 500 military police ofcers and dozens
of dogs. The Marine Corps has had police battalions off and
on since World War II but they were primarily focused on pro-
viding security, such as accompanying fuel convoys or guard-
ing generals on visits to dangerous areas, said Maj. Jan
Durham, commander of the 1st Law Enforcement Battalion at
Camp Pendleton.
The idea behind the law enforcement battalions is to con-
solidate the military police and capitalize on their investigative
skills and police training, he said. The new additions come as
every branch in the military is trying to show its exibility and
resourcefulness amid defense cuts.
Increase in Burning Man crowd size challenged
RENO, Nev. A California man is appealing the U.S.
Bureau of Land Managements decision to increase the
Burning Man festivals crowd cap on the Nevada desert.
Christopher Brooks appeal of the agencys increase in the
maximum crowd size from 50,000 to 60,900 will be consid-
ered by the Interior Board of Land Appeals.
A land sailor from Cotati, Calif., Brooks suggests Burning
Man is to blame for dunes that have kept him and others from
using the Black Rock Desert for their activities.
He also says Burning Man should not have been rewarded
with the increase since it was placed on probation by the BLM
for exceeding last years cap. Burning Man spokeswoman
Megan Miller calls the claims meritless, saying the dunes
were not caused by the festival and it undergoes strict scrutiny.

VALLEJO Cobblestones show
through the decrepit pavement in Sheila
Dodsons downtown neighborhood,
prostitutes ply the sidewalks in broad
daylight and many of the century-old
Victorians stand empty. Yet this is where
Dodson wants to raise her family.
Just because the coffers are poor
doesnt mean theres not opportunity,
she said while walking with her toddler
daughter along the broken streets.
Vallejo has emerged from bankruptcy
with a newfound commitment to com-
munity involvement that is exemplied
by upbeat residents like Dodson and a
local government now focused on inno-
vation. But the nancial xes envisioned
when the city led in 2008 havent all
materialized, and Vallejo continues to
operate in the red.
With two other California cities
recently ling for bankruptcy, a third
about to and others in trouble, Vallejo
offers an example of what good and
bad can come from a Chapter 9 ling.
Bankruptcy brings a brutal recogni-
tion of the new normal, Vallejo
Councilwoman Stephanie Gomes said.
Its Darwinism. The cities that are
going to stay solvent are the ones that
can evolve.
Municipal bankruptcies are extremely
rare and occur for different reasons.
Nationwide, there may be only one or
two in a year. But with the economy still
struggling, bankruptcies are becoming
more prevalent.
Stockton, which in June displaced
Vallejo as the largest city to le, racked
up overwhelming bond debt through ill-
advised infrastructure projects. The tiny
Southern California ski town of
Mammoth Lakes led earlier this month
because it could not pay a judgment that
was more than twice the towns budget.
San Bernardino is drowning in debt and
the City Council last week declared a
nancial emergency, a move that allows
it to more quickly le bankruptcy.
Compton, just south of Los Angeles,
may be the next in line. City ofcials
have said they are on pace to run out of
money by the end of summer.
For Vallejo, a working-class commu-
nity of 116,000 in the sun-splashed hills
30 miles northeast of San Francisco, the
move toward bankruptcy was a slow
downward spiral beginning with the clo-
sure of Mare Island Naval Shipyard in
1996. The local economy never really
recovered, but a booming housing mar-
ket helped paper over the loss of the
citys economic engine.
City councils continued approving
raises and benets for workers, ignoring
warnings from citizen oversight com-
missions. Police and re ofcials could
retire at 50 with 90% of their nal years
salary.
After one year of service, public
employees could get health care cover-
age for life, and so could their families.
Starting in 2005, the city began spending
$3 million to $4 million a year more than
it was taking in, draining its reserve
fund.
When the housing bubble burst, prop-
erty tax revenue fell by 30 percent and
sales tax receipts dropped 20 percent.
Vallejo: Life after bankruptcy
WASHINGTON Sen. Dianne
Feinstein says the nation needs to have a
sane discussion on gun control and
ban military-style assault weapons. But
the California Democrat acknowledges
that probably wont happen before the
November election.
Feinstein tells Fox News Sunday
that people havent rallied in years
because of the power and reach of the
gun lobby, and that with the election
looming, its a bad time to embrace a
new subject.
President Barack Obama called for
reinstating the ban during his 2008 pres-
idential campaign. But since his elec-
tion, he hasnt worked to get that done or
back other proposals.
Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron
Johnson challenged Feinstein on Fox by
saying the issue wasnt about guns, but
rather sick, demented individuals.
Feinstein disagreed, saying people use
these weapons because they can get
them.
Feinstein: Election year not ideal for gun debate
A look at Vallejo
POPULATION:115,942.While other
San Francisco Bay-area towns grew,
Vallejos population shrank by 0.7
percent between 2010 and 2000.
ECONOMY: Vallejo was a Navy
town until its base on Mare Island, a
peninsula that lies to the west of the
city, was deactivated in 1995. Wal-
Mart decamped in 2007. Major
employers now include Kaiser Per-
manente Medical Center and Six
Flags amusement park.
CLAIM TO FAME: Vallejo briey
served as the state capital,but the fa-
cilities were found to be unsuitable.
The Legislature met here for one
week in 1852 and again for a month
in 1853. The Zodiac Killer,who ter-
rorized the region in the 1960s,chose
some of his victims in Vallejo and the
city makes an appearance in the
2007 lm Zodiac.Mayor Osby Davis
made headlines in 2009 when he
told the New York Times that gay
people are committing a sin that will
keep them out of heaven. He apolo-
gized. In the 1930s,Chicago gangster
Baby FaceNelson hid out from fed-
eral agents in a Vallejo hospital.
NOTABLE RESIDENTS:Vallejo played
a key role in the development of Bay
Area gangsta rap in the 1990s and pro-
duced several regional stars,including
E-40 and Mac Dre.Other famous locals
include Sly Stone,frontman for Sly and

AURORA, Colo. Stephen Barton was
bloodied from gunshot wounds as he stag-
gered away from the hellish chaos inside a
Colorado movie theater, but he didnt realize
how badly he was hurt until he saw shock
reected in the faces of people who looked at
him.
I remember people looking at me and their
eyes just widening because I was covered in
blood, Barton, 22, said Sunday from his hos-
pital room at the Medical Center of Aurora.
Then I realized how bad I must have looked
and how serious it was.
Barton and two friends were watching the
midnight premiere of Dark Knight Rises in
Aurora on Friday when a gunman unleashed
two canisters of gas and opened re, killing
12 and injuring 58.
Barton and a friend, Ethan Rodriguez-
Torrent, both from Southbury, Conn., were six
weeks into a cross-country bicycling trip
when they pulled into Aurora on Thursday
afternoon. They arranged to spend the night at
the home of another of Rodriguez-Torrents
friends, and they all went to the movie.
Like nearly everyone else in the darkened
theater, Barton at rst thought the smoke and
popping noises that erupted were part of a
stunt. Then he was hit by gunre, rst in the
neck and then his left forearm.
I never even saw the shooter. He was in
black, his gun ashing in front of him,
Barton said. To me, he was and is an inhu-
man object that I dont associate with as a
human being.
Barton tumbled to the oor, trying to stanch
his bleeding neck wound and listening to the
methodical gunre.
Eventually the ring stopped and the vic-
tims screams lled the air. I just thought this
was the end for me, this will be the end of my
life, Barton said.
He saw people bolting for a door, and he ran
with them, out of the theater, through the
lobby and into the parking lot, where he was
rushed to the hospital.
Rodriguez-Torrent escaped unhurt. Their
friend has a brain injury from a gunshot in her
face, but doctors are optimistic about her
recovery, Barton said. They declined to iden-
tify her by name.
Barton and Rodriguez-Torrent might nish
their ride to San Francisco next year, leaving
from the Aurora movie theater and using the
ride to raise money for other victims and their
families.
Barton said he will gladly carry the scars
from his wounds as a reminder of how pre-
cious life is.
Survivor thought this will be the end of my life

AURORA, Colo. Despair all
around him, President Barack
Obama on Sunday offered hugs,
tears and the nations sympathy to
survivors of the Colorado shooting
rampage and to families whose loved
ones were shot dead. He looked for
hope in the heartbreak, insisting a
brighter day will come for the griev-
ing and declaring that much of the
world is thinking about them.
In dramatic detail, Obama offered
a glimpse inside the horror that took
place in the Denver-area movie the-
ater early Friday, relaying a story he
said spoke to the courage of young
Americans. With two ngers pressed
to his own neck, Obama recalled
how one woman saved the life of a
friend who had been shot by keeping
pressure on a vein that had started
spurting blood and by later helping
carry her to safety.
In private, Obama visited one by
one with anguished families gath-
ered at a hospital and wounded
patients recovering in intensive care.
He emerged before the TV cameras
and kept his focus on the lives and
dreams of the fallen and the sur-
vivors, not the sole shooting suspect
or his evil act.
I come to them not so much as
president as I do as a father and as a
husband, said Obama, addressing
reporters from a hospital hallway
after his visits. The reason stories
like this have such an impact on us is
because we can all understand what
it would be to have somebody we
love taken from us in this fashion.
For a president nearing the end of
his term and seeking a second one, it
was another grim occasion for him to
serve as national consoler in chief, a
role that has become a crucial facet
of the job. National tragedies compel
presidents to show leadership and a
comforting touch or risk a plum-
meting public standing if they cannot
match the moment.
The massacre in the Aurora movie
theater left 12 dead and 58 wounded.
It also temporarily silenced a bitter
campaign ght for the White House
between Obama and Republican
Mitt Romney.
Both men were searching for the
right time and manner to re-enter the
political debate.
Obama said his conversations with
family members were lled with
memories of brothers, sons and
daughters who had left their mark on
others. He said there were laughs as
well as tears.

BEIRUT A new rebel group
boasting some 1,000 fighters
launched an operation Sunday to
capture Syrias largest city, Aleppo,
while government troops using hel-
icopter gunships and heavy artillery
rolled back opposition gains in the
capital Damascus.
The spread of ghting into a sec-
ond major metropolis displayed the
rebels growing confidence even
though they still cant hold ground
against the governments heavy
weapons, pushing Syrias civil war
toward a new phase of destructive
urban combat.
On Sunday, however, a group
calling itself the Brigade of
Unication announced in an online
video that it was launching an oper-
ation in Aleppo, Syrias most popu-
lated city and a key commercial hub
that has remained relatively quiet
throughout the uprising.
We gave the orders to march on
Aleppo with the aim of liberating
it, says Col. Abdul-Jabbar
Mohammed Akidi, one of the
groups leaders.
The push into Aleppo follows
weeks of high-level military defec-
tions, soaring death tolls, fierce
fighting near President Bashar
Assads seat of power and a bomb
blast that killed four top players in
his regimes efforts to crush those
seeking to end his rule.
Rebels also captured several bor-
der crossings with neighboring Iraq
and Turkey. The oppositions
momentum put the regime on the
defensive for the rst time in the 16-
month conict.
But while the gradual swelling of
their ranks and increasing organiza-
tion have allowed them to push into
major cities, they remain largely
unable to hold ground against
Assads forces and helpless before
his helicopters.
The weeks violence pushed the
death toll for the uprising above
19,000, according to the Britain-
based Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights. The group said July
is likely to be the conicts deadliest
month so far, with more than 2,750
people killed in the rst three weeks
nearly as many as in the previous
month.
More than 100 people were killed
Sunday, it said, including at least 24
government troops.

LONDON Complaining that
the Olympic movement is still
ignoring their pain, Israelis marked
the 40th anniversary of the Munich
massacre on Sunday with a modest
service in the atrium of a London
apartment block.
Prayers were read for the 11 mur-
dered Israelis, wreaths were laid for
them and a plaque unveiled about
four miles (six kilometers) from the
Olympic Stadium.
However, there will be no minute
of silence for them at Fridays open-
ing ceremony.
The International Olympic
Committee have a moral commit-
ment to commemorate the 11 ath-
letes, coaches and referees, Israeli
Olympic Committee secretary gen-
eral Efraim Zinger said. Not
because they were Israelis, but
because they were Olympians and
were murdered during the Olympic
Games.
Its been 40 years since that
dreadful day and I hope that the day
will come that the IOC will recog-
nize all 11 athletes as victims and
nd the proper way to commemo-
rate their memory.
IOC President Jacques Rogge
reiterated Saturday that the open-
ing ceremony was not an appropri-
ate arena to remember the dead
despite pressure from politicians in
the United States, Israel and
Germany.
In talks over several years with
Israeli ofcials, the IOC has not
been able to agree to a suitable way
of remembering the slain athletes at
each games, according to Zinger.
The frustrating fact is that until
now, none of the alternative ways to
commemorate was practiced,
Zinger said.
Rogge does plan to honor the
dead at a reception in London dur-
ing the games on Aug. 6. IOC of-
cials will also attend a ceremony in
Germany on the anniversary of the
attack on Sept. 5 at the military air-
field of Furstenfeldbruck, where
most of the Israelis died.

rupted, where they can be rendered
irrelevant, he said. And thats the
nature of the operations that are

U.S., NATO and Afghan forces
also are working in the east to
stop the infiltration of insurgents
crossing the border from
Pakistan to Afghanistan, expand
the security zone around Kabul
in Wardak and Logar provinces,

New Clearview Way ofce
buildings must not be built
Editor,
According to the local city govern-
ment briefs published in the July 13
edition of the Daily Journal, the San
Mateo Planning Commission is consid-
ering a pre-application to build a
107,696 square foot ofce building,
with four story garage at 3000-3155
Clearview Way. Approval of this plan
will mean horrendous trafc gridlock-
trafc around the intersection of
Highway 92, and Hillsdale Blvd. is
already bumper to bumper during rush
hour. It would also cause noise and dirt
to assault the neighborhood residents
during the long construction period,
while placing an ugly monstrosity very
visibly on a hill towering over San
Mateo. This needs to be stopped.

Dont let them get away with it
Editor,
Does anyone ever wonder why there
are so many people incarcerated in
prisons in the United States? More peo-
ple than in China and Russia combined,
more people than in any country on the
face of the Earth, more people than in
any country in the history of the world.
Might the reason be that the police are
rewarded and advanced in their careers
with the more convictions they gain or
that the court system is being manipu-
lated in advance by the authorities who
know what it will take to win a convic-
tion? Also, why is it that the poor and
disadvantaged are so disproportionally
imprisoned? Are the real decisions in this
country being made in the hallways and
boardrooms of our richest corporations?
Whatever happened to a country that
stands for liberty and justice for all?

High-speed rail and
Sacramento Democrats
Editor,
Its ironic that Gov. Brown signed the
$9 billion high-speed rail funding bill
on the same day that the city of
Compton declared bankruptcy. In the
last year, several California cities have
gone bankrupt (Vallejo, Stockton, San
Bernadino, Mammoth Lake) due to bad
budgets, with hundreds in the pipeline.
Obviously, Sacramento Democrats are
disconnected from the average
Californians facing the real world; bor-
rowing and spending $9 billion in tax
dollars the state doesnt have for HSR
is the greatest example. LA Times
polls showed that 75 percent of
Californians dont want tax money
spent on HSR, but Democrats ignored
the people. Now, those same
Democrats ask the people to tax them-
selves, or else. Unsure if Democratic
voters will ever realize that Sacramento
has a spending problem, but hopefully
they wont ever approve another bond,
tax measure or initiative proposed by
unions and their Sacramento puppets.

T
he Legislatures approval of
money for high-speed rail con-
struction was a grandiose polit-
ical gesture, not scal realism. The
states best course would be to stop the
bullet train before it attens taxpayers.
But at least legislators should keep this
risky project from turning into an even
larger public boondoggle. And the
Legislature should reject any thought of
asking Californians to kick in more
money for this train.
Legislators authorized $4.7 billion in
bond money to start construction on the
rail system. Plans call for using $2.6
billion of the bond money, along with
$3.3 billion in federal funds, to build
the rst stretch of track between
Bakerseld and Merced. Another $1.9
billion in bond money would pay for
transit rail system improvements in
Northern and Southern California,
allowing them to eventually link up
with the bullet train. The California
High-Speed Rail Authority envisions a
$68.4 billion system that would whisk
passengers between Los Angeles and
the Bay Area at speeds of up to 220
mph though the proposed circuitous
route, with political pressure for fre-
quent stops, raises questions about how
fast travel would really be.
The Legislatures decision to push
ahead with the rail line sends a bafing
message to taxpayers. The state faced
another in a series of multibillion-dollar
budget shortfalls this year, and the
Legislature built a budget on the prem-
ise that voters would approve sales and
income tax hikes in November. Yet at
the same time legislators warn of deep
cuts to education and other public serv-
ices if voters reject tax hikes, the
Legislature commits the state to an
expensive new project that serves no
crucial need. Californias big trans-
portation challenges are urban/suburban
trafc congestion and goods movement
issues which the high-speed line
does not address.
Nor does the Legislatures decision
magically make the bullet train more
realistic or less risky for California tax-
payers. The state is now about $55 bil-
lion short of the money needed to com-
plete the entire system, with a nancial
plan based largely on wishful thinking.
The train would not even start high-
speed operations until the initial Central
Valley track connects to the San
Fernando Valley which depends on
the unlikely prospect of the federal
government providing an additional $20
billion. And whether a completed high-
speed rail system would ever be self-
supporting remains a troubling ques-
tion.
Legislators should be clear:
California will not pour additional bil-
lions of dollars into this project to res-
cue bad planning or unrealistic nanc-
ing. The Legislature should atly
renounce any notion that building the
initial Central Valley line commits tax-
payers to nishing the system, regard-
less of the cost. And legislators should
resist any temptation to subsidize high-
speed travel, even if a somehow com-
pleted system lacks sufcient passen-
gers to pay for running the trains.
A more nancially adept Legislature
would have avoided gambling billions
of public dollars on a project that lls
no pressing public need. Instead the
Legislature opted for vision discon-
nected from any practical reality. And
the least legislators can now do is to
protect taxpayers from being crushed
under runaway bullet train costs.

only the U.S. could resurrect
Alexander Hamilton.
Today, the conservative
Hamilton, primary aide to
George Washington and
champion of a strong central
government, must be turning
over in his grave. How times
have changed since he chal-
lenged the liberal Thomas
Jefferson, champion of states
rights who opposed the basic
tenets of Hamiltonian philos-
ophy. In todays United
States, it is conservatives who are staunch defenders of states
rights and progressives who endorse Hamiltonian principles of a
strong central government. Oh, the ironies of history. How
times have changed since the Civil War when Abraham Lincoln,
founder of the Republican Party, fought for the union against
democratic supporters of slavery and states rights. Today, the
base of the Republican Party has moved from New England,
once the stronghold of abolitionists, to the once southern slave
states.
***
Even Lincolns inspiring words, you can fool some of the
people most of the time ... but you cant fool all of the people
all of the time has been put to a test in this years election. Can
large amounts of money overwhelm the airwaves with misinfor-
mation to fool the electorate? Money has always mattered in
politics but this year, for the rst time, unlimited amounts are
owing into super PACs and tax-exempt organizations from bil-
lionaires and large corporations. Has the electorate become too
lazy to sort out fact from ction? If you can fool most of the
people most of the time then democratic government is as vul-
nerable here as it is in the land of Pericles and Ataturk. The
founding fathers must be rolling over in their graves.
***
Post-script: Another grave roller is Susan B. Anthony. The
Susan B. Anthony List, a conservative PAC, uses the famous
suffragettes name to promote the election of pro-life women to
Congress.

The recent vote on high-speed rail was a tough one and a par-
tisan one with no republican supporting it. Hats off to Gov.
Jerry Brown, senate Leader Darrell Steinberg, and the members
of both houses who took a risky vote to do the right thing.
Investing in our future is always tougher than voting no. Plan B,
put forward by some of the senate democratic opponents was a
farce to begin with. There was no funding for Plan B which
would have applied the rst high-speed rail funding to Bay Area
and Los Angeles segments. The federal government said the
money was only available for a project ready to go and that was
in the Central Valley. Some of our state senators and opponents
of high-speed rail complained that the rst link should have
been in the Bay Area at the same time they were doing every-
thing possible to delay and impede planning for an initial run
from San Jose to San Francisco. Delays included lawsuits from
several Peninsula cities to demands for changes in the plan.
Ironically, even though the rst phase will be built in the
Central Valley, local transit and residents will benet more from
the afrmative vote. High-speed rail funds will include money
for electrication of Caltrain. This will have the ripple effect of
reducing operational costs and improving and expanding serv-
ice. It will make those transit-oriented communities along the
Caltrain track a real winner for the environment and for getting
cars off the road. These are the places where young people want
to and can afford to live. I am glad my state Sen. Leland Yee,
and future state senator, Assemblyman Jerry Hill, voted yes.
***
The transcontinental railroad, which was the subject of con-
gressional debate that lasted 20 years, according to a recent arti-
cle in the New York Times, was the tantalizing holy grail for
generations of republican lawmakers. The republican party in
the 1840-1860 era was considered the party of big government
and wasteful federal subsidies. And was the transcontinental
railroad a mistake? No, according to the history books. It was
what helped make the United States a major industrial nation
and the state of California part of it.

BUSINESS 10
By Bernard Condon
NEW YORK Its the granddaddy of
stock indexes, a centenarian that is
spritely for its age. Since a near fatal fall
in March 2009, its nearly doubled.
But the Dow Jones industrial average
is starting to look frail.
The problem is that the blue-chip index
has been relying heavily on just two of its
30 stocks, Caterpillar and IBM. Those
companies were responsible for a fth of
the near-doubling in the index. But since
it hit a 2012 high on May 1, the Dow has
slipped, and the software company and
the heavy equipment maker have
accounted for half of that decline.
When you have a couple of very high-
priced stocks, theyre going to skew
things, says Paul Hickey, co-founder of
Bespoke Investment Group, a research
rm. For Caterpillar especially, he adds,
economic strength outside the U.S. has
helped.
Now a lack of that same growth is pun-
ishing Caterpillar. China is growing at its
slowest pace in three years. Other for-
merly booming markets, like Brazil, have
slowed, too. Caterpillar, which makes
mining, construction and farming equip-
ment, generates about two-thirds of its
revenue abroad.
Meanwhile, many metal and food
prices are falling, compounding the com-
panys woes. In the three years through
March, the S&P GSCI, a commodity
index, has doubled. Since then its fallen
11 percent.
How much this will hurt the Peoria,
Ill., company is unclear. But investors
arent waiting to nd out. Their frenzied
buying has turned into frenzied selling.
The stock has fallen 20 percent since the
Dows recent peak in May.
IBM Corp., which makes much of its
money in software and technology serv-
ices, is also dropping on fears of slowing
growth. Its down 7 percent.
Folks love to use the Dow as a short-
hand for stocks, and for the economy as
a whole. But for all its august appeal, the
nations oldest major index often reects
the movement of just a few stocks.
Ten years ago it was Procter &
Gamble, the worlds largest consumer
products company. 3M, the post-it note
maker, also held sway for a while.
The top-heavy nature of the Dow helps
explain why its lagging other indexes.
So far this year, the Nasdaq composite of
nearly 3,000 stocks is up 12 percent and
the Standard & Poors 500 is up 8 per-
cent. But the Dow is only up 5 percent.
In the spring last year, the situation
was reversed. The Dow was leading the
S&P and the Nasdaq. Two big reasons?
You guessed it Caterpillar and IBM.
The Dow suffers from two aws. The
rst is its made up of just 30 stocks. The
second is that the index treats a rise or
fall of a single dollar in each of its 30
stocks the same whether or not that rep-
resents a big percentage change, and thus
a big change in investor attitudes, or a
small one. This means that higher-priced
stocks can move the index up and down
dramatically.
Take IBM, for example. Its stock has
been hovering near $200. A fall of a $1 is
a 0.5 percent drop. Now consider the
same dollar drop for Bank of America,
the lowest priced stock in the index. It
trades a little above $7 per share. A $1
fall is a 14 percent drop.
Yet the Dow would fall by the same
amount regardless.
The S&P 500 gets around this problem
by assigning more weight to the move in
a companys price the greater its market
capitalization, or the total value of all of
its shares. This creates its own distortions
if a company rises in value fast.
What helped Dow now hurts it
By Hope Yen
WASHINGTON The ranks of
Americas poor are on track to climb to
levels unseen in nearly half a century,
erasing gains from the war on poverty in
the 1960s amid a weak economy and
fraying government safety net.
Census figures for 2011 will be
released this fall in the critical weeks
ahead of the November elections.
The Associated Press surveyed more
than a dozen economists, think tanks and
academics, both nonpartisan and those
with known liberal or conservative lean-
ings, and found a broad consensus: The
ofcial poverty rate will rise from 15.1
percent in 2010, climbing as high as 15.7
percent. Several predicted a more mod-
est gain, but even a 0.1 percentage point
increase would put poverty at the highest
level since 1965.
Poverty is spreading at record levels
across many groups, from underemployed
workers and suburban families to the poor-
est poor. More discouraged workers are
giving up on the job market, leaving them
vulnerable as unemployment aid begins to
run out. Suburbs are seeing increases in
poverty, including in such political battle-
grounds as Colorado, Florida and Nevada,
where voters are coping with a new norm
of living hand to mouth.
I grew up going to Hawaii every sum-
mer. Now Im here, applying for assistance
because its hard to make ends meet. Its
very hard to adjust, said Laura Fritz, 27,
of Wheat Ridge, Colo., describing her
slide from rich to poor as she lled out aid
forms at a county center. Since 2000, large
swaths of Jefferson County just outside
Denver have seen poverty nearly double.
Fritz says she grew up wealthy in the
Denver suburb of Highlands Ranch, but
fortunes turned after her parents lost a
signicant amount of money in the hous-
ing bust. Stuck in a half-million dollar
house, her parents began living off food
stamps and Fritzs college money evapo-
rated. She tried joining the Army but was
injured during basic training.
Now shes living on disability, with an
infant daughter and a boyfriend, Garrett
Goudeseune, 25, who cant nd work as a
landscaper. They are struggling to pay
their $650 rent on his unemployment
checks and dont know how they would
get by without the extra help as they hope
for the job market to improve.
Poverty on track to rise to highest since 60s
BROWNSVILLE, Texas Jose Gallegos company elimi-
nated employee health insurance to save money, so when his
gut started hurting and his skin took on a yellow tinge, he resis-
ted seeing a doctor. When he nally went to the emergency
room, physicians diagnosed stomach cancer.
Gallegos made too much money to qualify for Medicaid
but not enough to buy his own insurance, so he scraped
together what he could, and his wife, Andrea, took on three
jobs. Just over a year later, at 41, he died, leaving behind four
children.
Two years later, it was Andreas turn. A crack and sharp pain
in her back drove her to the emergency room, where she
learned she had breast cancer. It had snapped one of her verte-
bra. Now 45, she said the cancer remains in several other ver-
tebrae, but at the moment its not spreading.
Families like the Gallegos stand at the center of a debate over
President Barack Obamas health care overhaul, which could
have expanded Medicaid coverage to 1.3 million uninsured
Texans. But Republican Gov. Rick Perry has said he will not
widen the program because it would cost too much.
It gets me mad, Gallegos said. Perry made a decision
without us.
Nowhere did Obamas health care law hold more promise
than in Texas, which leads the nation in the portion of its pop-
ulation that is uninsured. A quarter of Texans have no coverage,
many of them families like the Gallegos who are considered the
working poor.
Perry was not alone in his decision. Several other GOP gov-
ernors made the same move or are contemplating doing so, say-
ing they cant afford to expand the joint state-federal program
that provides care for the poor and disabled, or that they dis-
agree with it philosophically.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The motto for the boys on the
Bel-Mateo 13-Under Babe Ruth
team this summer was all about
playing in the moment.
One game at a time, out one to out
last and pitch one to pitch last.
I instilled that philosophy into
their heads every time we met and
they stuck with it, said Bel-Mateo
manager Steve Vega. They didnt
change anything. They never looked
ahead. With that process and that
attitude, they stayed in the game no
matter what. They kept their heads
up.
So much so that despite a dis-
heartening loss to Tri-Valley, a
game that ended with Bel-Mateo on
the wrong side of an 11-3 decision,
Vegas squad stuck with the plan
and turned in a second place effort
at the Northern California tourna-
ment.
The success that we accom-
plished through this entire tourna-
ment, from day one, was by sticking
to our guns and playing as a tight
team, as a whole, and trusting each
other, supporting each other, Vega
said. [There was an] all around
camaraderie. They meshed really
well immediately. It showed
throughout. We had our ups and
downs but all in all, they played
well together.
That camaraderie was tested in
that 11-3 loss to Tri-Valley. The
defeat came after a promising start
to the tournament. Bel-Mateo beat
Woodland 11-1 in six innings. They
then took that momentum and
behind six shutout innings by James
Haplin, Bel-Mateo beat North
Solano 8-3.
But Tri-Valley threw a bucket of
cold water onto the Bel-Mateo re.
The boys werent ready to play,
didnt show up to play and basically
got dominated, Vega said of their
rst loss. His Bel-Mateo team shot
themselves in the foot time and time
again, to the tune of ve errors,
which was very uncharacteristic
considering they had been error free
since their rst district game against
Bel-Mateo perseveres, finishes second

Giants
blow it
in Philly
PHILADELPHIA With each quality
start, Barry Zito is nally earning that $126
million the San Francisco Giants gave him six
years ago.
Zito pitched seven
strong innings but had
nothing to show for it
because the Giants lost 4-
3 in 12 innings to last-
place Philadelphia on
Sunday.
Jimmy Rollins lined an
RBI single off Brad Penny
in the 12th to avert a
three-game sweep against
the NL West-leading Giants.
Zito allowed three runs and ve hits, strik-
ing out seven. The lefty is having his best sea-
son for the Giants since signing that huge,
seven-year contract in December 2006.
I like the way hes throwing the ball,
Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
Athletics rally past
Yankees 5-4 in 12
for 4-game sweep
By Antonio Gonzalez
OAKLAND Seth Smith hit a tying
homer in the ninth inning, Coco Crisp singled
home the winning run in the 12th and the
surging Oakland Athletics rallied from four
runs down to stun the New York Yankees 5-4
on Sunday and complete a four-game sweep.
Smith homered to center with one out in the
ninth off closer Rafael Soriano to help the As
sweep the Yankees in a four-game series at the
Oakland Coliseum for the rst time. The
Athletics improved to 14-2 in July, the best
record in the majors.
Derek Norris started the nal rally with a
one-out single off Derek Jeters glove at short-
stop. Jemile Weeks followed with a sacrice
bunt, setting the stage for Oaklands major
league-leading 11th walk-off win.
By Doug Ferguson
LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England Ernie
Els plucked the ball from the hole after one
last birdie and heaved it into the grandstand.
At the time, it looked like nothing more than
a classy gesture by a former British Open
champion not the next one.
The name on the claret jug was supposed to
be Adam Scott, who had a four-shot lead with
four holes to play.
But in a shocking turnaround Sunday, Els
returned to the 18th green less than an hour
later to claim the oldest trophy in golf. Scott
joined a list of players who threw away a
major.
That was not lost on Els, whose heart sank
when he looked over at the 32-year-old
Australian.
Sorry, Els told him. Youre a great play-
er, a great friend of mine. I feel very fortunate.
Youre going to win many of these.
Scott might not get another chance like this.
After hitting a 3-wood into a pot bunker on
the nal hole, Scott had one last chance when
he stood over a 7-foot par putt to force a play-
off. It stayed left of the cup, and Scott dropped
into a crouch. Standing off to the side, his chin
quivered as the magnitude of the meltdown hit
him. Instead, he mouthed one word: Wow.
Wow, indeed.
Even though Els had gone more than two
years without winning, and had thrown away
two tournaments in recent months with shaky
putting, the Big Easy felt all along that some-
thing special was going to happen at this
British Open.
And it did all because of a collapse by
Scott that no one saw coming.
I know I let a really great chance slip
through my ngers today, Scott said.
On a wind-swept afternoon at Royal
Lytham & St. Annes that blew away the hopes
of Tiger Woods and a handful of others, Scott
looked steady as ever by going eight straight
holes without making bogey. And thats when
it came undone.
I had it in my hands with four to go, Scott
said.
A bogey from the bunker on the 15th cut the
lead to three. That was followed by a three-
putt bogey on the 16th, where his 3-foot par
putt spun in and out of the cup and made the
gallery gasp. From the middle of the 17th fair-
way, he hit a 6-iron that turned left, ran down
the slope and took one last bounce in shin-
high grass.
I thought, Hold on. Weve got a problem
here, said Graeme McDowell, playing with
Scott in the nal group.
By then, Els had posted a 2-under 68 with a
15-foot birdie putt on the nal hole, a cheer
that Scott recognized while playing the 17th.
Scott failed to get up-and-down for par from
the rough and suddenly was tied.
Els headed to the practice green, where it
rarely works out for him. In perhaps the most
crushing defeat in a career lled with them,
Els was on the putting green at Augusta
National in 2004 when Phil Mickelson made
an 18-foot birdie putt to win the Masters.
I just thought, Ill probably be disappoint-
ed again, Els said. Youre not really hoping
the guy is going to make a mistake, but youre
hoping you dont have to go a playoff, you
can win outright. This one was different,
because I feel for Adam.

(Mid-Peninsula at Hwy 101 & Holly Street)
John Mayberry Jr. hit two solo homers
for the Phillies. Nate Schierholtz hit a
pair of solo shots for the Giants, who fell
to 7-2 since the All-Star break.
Were getting contributions from one
through nine, which is why we had a
good trip, hot-hitting Buster Posey said.
The Phillies snapped a seven-game
home losing streak and avoided their
first sweep against the Giants since
2004.
Penny (0-1) walked Carlos Ruiz with
one out in the 12th. Laynce Nix followed
with a single to right to move Ruiz to
third. Rollins then lined the rst pitch to
right to end it.
Ive faced Brad Penny a lot. I had an
idea what he wanted to do. Thats not a
role hes used to, Rollins said.
The five-time defending NL East
champions are 10 1/2 games behind
Atlanta in the wild-card standings.
Kyle Kendrick (4-8) tossed 2 1-3
innings to earn the win and extended his
career-best scoreless streak to 18 2-3
innings.
Phillies starter Joe Blanton gave up
three runs and seven hits in eight
innings, increasing his trade value with
another strong second-half start. Since
2008, Blanton has the best record in the
majors after the All-Star break at 17-5.
The right-hander will be a free agent
after the season, so the Phillies might
move him before the July 31 non-waiver
trade deadline unless they start to make
a run.
After Mayberry gave the Phillies their
rst lead, 3-2, on his second homer in
the seventh, Schierholtz answered with
his second in the eighth. He hit a high
drive to right to tie it at 3.
Blanton escaped further trouble in the
inning when right elder Hunter Pence
saved two runs by making a running bas-
ket catch on Poseys deep y to right.
Mayberry drove a 3-2 pitch into the
seats in left to tie it at 2 in the fourth. He
hadnt driven in a run in his previous 39
at-bats, going back to June 24.
I tip my hat to him, Zito said.
Pablo Sandovals RBI double to left-
center gave the Giants a 2-1 lead in the
fourth.
Schierholtz ripped a 2-0 pitch way out
to right for his rst career leadoff homer
to give the Giants a 1-0 lead.
Chase Utleys RBI triple in the bottom
half tied it at 1. Zito escaped a rst-and-
third, one-out jam by getting Pence to
ground into his 13th double play.
Zito stranded runners on second and
third in the third by striking out Ryan
Howard on a 74 mph curveball.
NOTES: Posey is 18 for 36 in the last
10 games. ... Blanton has allowed 22
homers, second-most in the majors. ...
Zito allowed his 12th earned run in the
first inning in 19 starts. ... Melky
Cabrera extended his hitting streak to
nine games with a rst-inning double. ...
Schierholtz has ve homers this season,
including two multihomer games. ...
Ryan Vogelsong (7-4, 3.21) pitches for
the Giants in the opener of a three-game
series against San Diego on Monday.

GIANTS
Mountain View.
Instead of hanging their heads, Bel-
Mateo decided to fight and against
Oakland in a mini Bay Bridge show-
down, things were completely different.
A totally different team showed up,
Vega said. We came right off the bat
scoring more runs. [The game was] very
well pitched and we played great
defense.
For that game against Oakland, Vega
handed the ball to RJ Babeira, who Vega
said was a little nervous going into the
game, giving up three runs in the rst
inning as proof.
But timely hitting and solid defense
the rest of the way allowed Bel-Mateo to
get back into the game and come away
with an 8-5 win. The victory set up a
rematch with the same Tri-Valley team
that knocked them into the losers brack-
et.
The boys played better baseball in
that nal game, Vega said. We had one
error, compared to the rst Tri-Valley
game where there were several. They
overpowered us with their pitching,
which is OK. It wasnt a sense of a lot of
strikeouts, it was a sense of they just
played good defense because we did put
the ball in play. They made the plays like
theyre supposed to. But it was a com-
pletely different team. They showed up
ready to play, ready to go and it is what
it is. Tri-Valley just out-pitched us and
out-hit us.
Bel-Mateo got key contributions up
and down the roster during the tourna-
ment. Players like Babeira, Halpin and
RJ Teijiero really stepped up when
called upon.
Hes a well coached kid, Vega said
of Teijiero. It shows. He doesnt break
under pressure. He gives 100 percent
throughout the entire game. He really
understands the aspect of pitching, of
being able to mix up his pitches, keeping
the batter off balance, getting strikes.
But more so, he supports the defense. He
trusts his defense.
Said Vega of Halpin: He stepped up.
He did what he what he had to do. All
my pitchers did their jobs, they went
deep into the game, which is key
because you need your arms.
That game against Tri-Valley ended
with 6-1 loss. But more important to
Vega was how his team responded
through adversity and the eight-run loss
earlier in the tournament. Once again, he
credited the camaraderie of the Bel-
Mateo players for persevering when
times got rough.
Its meshing together, working
together as a team, getting along with
each other. Every team Ive ever had,
thats been accomplished, Vega said.
There are nine players out there, so
without it (camaraderie), its an individ-
ual thing and its not going to work. Its
kind of my goal every summer I do
this.
BEL
Brewers swept by Reds, fall way back
CINCINNATI The Milwaukee Brewers arrived in
Cincinnati within 7 1/2 games of the rst-place Reds. They
left in a shambles, behind Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and St. Louis
in the NL Central.
Were a distant fourth now and we should be, Ryan Braun
said. All three of those teams have played better than us. They
just have. They abilitys there, but we havent executed or put
it together to this date. We pitch great and we dont score runs.
There are other days we score a lot of runs and dont pitch. I
guess plenty of times we just found a way to lose. Its chal-
lenging. Wilson Valdez drove in the tying run and scored the
go-ahead run to back the gritty pitching of Johnny Cueto as the
Reds beat the Brewers 2-1 on Sunday and wrapped up one of
the best homestands in franchise history by going 8-2.
Venable, Cabrera lead Padres past Rockies 3-2
SAN DIEGO Will Venable made the most of one of the
few at-bats he had over the weekend, and Everth Cabreras
aggressiveness paid off again for the San Diego Padres.
Venable drove in the go-ahead run in the seventh inning and
Cabrera had two hits and twice beat throws to the plate as the
Padres beat the Colorado Rockies 3-2 on Sunday.
Its tough for me because its not something Ive been
accustomed to or learned how to do yet, Venable said of sub-
stituting late in games. It was nice to have that opportunity
to get a big knock there.

PARIS Twenty-three years ago, Bradley
Wiggins marveled as Greg LeMond blazed a
trail as Americas rst Tour de France winner.
Now, he has blazed his own.
The 32-year-old from gritty northwest
London became Britains first winner of
cyclings greatest race on Sunday, ending a 75-
year drought for his country with an imperial
conquest of the roads in cross-Channel neigh-
bor France.
Wiggins had locked up the yellow jersey a
day earlier by winning the nal time-trial and
Sundays ride onto the Champs-Elysees was
largely ceremonial for him.
But putting the coveted shirt to work one
last time, he added a touch of class by provid-
ing a leadout to Sky teammate and fellow
Briton Mark Cavendish to get his third Tour
stage victory the 23rd of his career in a
sprint. The Isle of Man native is a main con-
tender to win road race gold at the Olympics in
London, which has been a hovering presence
over the peloton in this Tour.
Wiggins congratulated his teammates after
crossing the line, hugged his wife, and
clutched the hands of their two children. A
soprano sang God Save The Queen, and
Wiggins thanked the crowd with a touch of
British humor.
Cheers, have a safe journey home, dont
get too drunk, he quipped after hoisting the
winners bouquet, with the Arc de Triomphe
behind him.
Its been a magical couple of weeks for the
team and for British cycling, Wiggins said.
Some dreams come true. My mother over
there, shes now her son has won the Tour
de France.
Then, with a Union Jack around his neck
like a scarf, Wiggins sipped Champagne for
the processional lap on the famed Paris
avenue, trailed by his son with Allez Wiggo
Go Wiggo written on his cheeks.
This 99th Tour will be remembered for suc-
cesses of other Britons too, like all-rounder
Christopher Froome, who was second overall,
Cavendish and Scottish veteran David Millar
who won seven stages between them, a
Tour record for Britain.
Italys Vincenzo Nibali rounded out the
podium in third. Frances Thomas Voeckler
won the polka-dot jersey for best climber,
Peter Sagan of Slovakia takes home the green
jersey for best sprinter and Tejay van
Garderen, a 23-year-old American, won the
white jersey given to the best young rider.
It was a race of disappointment for Cadel
Evans of Australia, who struggled in the
climbs and failed to repeat his 2011 Tour vic-
tory. And a swan song for George Hincapie of
the United States, who set the record of 17th
Tour participations.
Wiggins had come into the race as the
favorite, but he knew all too well how anything
can happen over more than 2,100 miles of rac-
ing over three weeks. Crashes, sickness and
doping scandals all thinned the pack.
Questions were rife about the unity of his
powerful Sky team he put those to rest.
His victory was all the more remarkable
because it culminated the transformation of
Wiggins from three-time Olympic champion
on the track to road-race star. His early years
had given him the sustained power for the Tour
time-trial which he dominated twice this
year but his ability to scale Alps and
Pyrenees ascents was in question. There too,
Wiggins came through.
His victory for Britain was no tiny feat. Its
not just the rst British victory, but the rst
podium nish and this year, Britain has two
since Britons began riding in the race in
1937. A total of 59 have competed since then.
Wiggins, who was fourth in 2009 and 24th
in 2010, came in with a thirst for victory after
crashing out last year. He showed superb form,
with three stage-race victories this season.
And this layout was about as favorable as it
could come for him: Heavy on time-trials,
lighter relatively on climbs.
Sky was methodical in its march to victory
evoking at times some uncomfortable com-
parisons with the dominant teams of Lance
Armstrong. The seven-time Tour champion
was at times a presence in the background at
this race, with news of his battle against U.S.
doping charges that threaten his legacy. Four
of his former teammates who were riding the
Tour came under a media spotlight amid a
news report they had struck deal with
USADA.

EDMONTON, Alberta Helio
Castroneves has been quietly lurk-
ing in the championship race this
season, taking advantage of mis-
takes by others to position himself
for a run at the IndyCar Series title.
After his win Sunday at
Edmonton, everybody knows hes
in the mix for his rst career cham-
pionship. Everybody also knows
hes going to be tough to beat down
the stretch.
We are always there, maybe play-
ing a little bit quiet and silent, which
I like, because many, many more
years we were aggressive,
Castronves said. Continuing to work
in that low prole, and in the end of
the day at (the season ending race)
Fontana, thats the day it counts.
Castroneves thrust himself into
the championship race with his sec-
ond victory of the season. The
Brazilian relied on pit strategy from
his Penske Racing crew to take the
lead, then held off hard-charging
Takuma Sato over the nal 15 laps
to pick up the win.
It moved him one spot in the
standings to second he jumped
over teammate Will Power and
hes trailing leader Ryan Hunter-
Reay by 23 points with four races
remaining.
The win, in the rst caution-free
race of the season, snapped Hunter-
Reays three-race win streak.
Were never out, he said.
Were always in the battle for the
championship since we started.
Now were closer and were taking
the opportunities that when we run
very well, we take advantage of it.
Castroneves said when his engi-
neer called him into the pits for an
early stop, he wasnt sure the strate-
gy was correct. But it worked, and
the 37-year-old finally broke
through at Edmonton, where he had
nished second three times in the
past four races. In 2010, he took the
checkered ag, only to be stripped
of the win for blocking Power.

PHOENIX Jason Kubel homered for the
sixth time in ve games, Chris Young added a
three-run shot and the Arizona Diamondbacks
beat Houston 8-2 Sunday to complete a high-
scoring, three-game sweep of the staggering
Astros.
Kubel, coming off a three-homer game
Saturday night, led off the second inning with
his 21st of the season. Youngs homer high-
lighted a season-high seven-run sixth for the
Diamondbacks, who outscored Houston 33-13
in the series.
Justin Maxwell homered for Houston as the
Astros lost their sixth straight and 19th in 21
games. Houston was swept for the eighth time
this season.
Josh Collmenter (2-2) gave up two runs and
seven hits through six innings to get the win.
Jordan Lyles (2-7) took the loss.
Kubel also singled and tripled. Gerardo Parra
singled in two runs for the Diamondbacks,
whose 12 hits gave them 40 for the series.
Lyles allowed eight runs, ve earned, and 10
hits in 5 2-3 innings. He nursed a 2-1 lead
going into the sixth before things fell apart.
Singles by Stephen Drew, Aaron Hill and
Kubel loaded the bases with one out. Miguel
Montero bounced one up the middle and short-
stop Marwin Gonzalez chased it down. He
ipped the ball to second baseman Jose Altuve,
who tried to catch the ball with his bare hand
but dropped it. Two runs scored on Gonzalezs
error and Arizona led 3-2. Young, the next bat-
ter, lofted a 3-2 pitch into the left-eld seats to
make it 6-2.
The Diamondbacks werent nished.
Singles by Lyle Overbay and pinch-hitter
Ryan Roberts put runners at rst and second.
Both advanced on a passed ball and scored on
Parras single to make it 8-2.
Justin Maxwell lined a 1-1 pitch off the top
of the porch in left-center for his ninth home
run to put Houston up 1-0 in the second.
Kubels homer just inside the right-eld foul
pole in the Arizona second tied it.
Consecutive doubles by Altuve and
Gonzalez to start the sixth gave Houston a
short-lived 2-1 lead.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa.
Shortly after Penn State tore down
its famed statue of coach Joe
Paterno, the NCAA announced
Sunday it would impose corrective
and punitive sanctions against the
university in the wake of a devastat-
ing report that asserted top universi-
ty ofcials buried child sex abuse
allegations against a retired assis-
tant coach more than a decade ago.
The NCAA, acting with rare
speed, said it will spell out the
penalties on Monday. The govern-
ing body did not disclose further
details.
If precedent holds from recent
cases, Penn State will face a loss of
scholarships and a multi-year ban
from bowl games and with it, the
nancial windfall and showcase that
comes with postseason play.
Yet NCAA President Mark
Emmert cautioned last week that he
hasnt ruled out the possibility of
shutting down the Penn State foot-
ball program altogether, saying he
had never seen anything as egre-
gious as the Jerry Sandusky sex
abuse scandal.
A harsh penalty would have
repercussions well beyond football,
whose large prots more than
$50 million, according to the U.S.
Department of Education subsi-
dize dozens of other sports pro-
grams at the school. The potential
for a historic NCAA penalty also
worries a region whose economy is
built at least partially on the
strength and popularity of the foot-
ball program.
Its going to kill our town, said
Derek Leonard, 31, a university
construction project coordinator
who grew up in the area.
Emmert has seemingly put the
Penn State matter on the fast track.
Other cases that were strictly about
violating the NCAA rulebook have
dragged on for months and even
years.
As Penn State awaited its fate,
construction workers took down the
larger-than-life monument to its
Hall of Fame coach on the six-
month anniversary of his death from
lung cancer at age 85.
The Paterno family released a
statement criticizing Penn States
decision to remove the statue, say-
ing it was made in haste and before
all the facts about Paternos role in
the Sandusky scandal were known.
Tearing down the statue of Joe
Paterno does not serve the victims
of Jerry Sanduskys horrible crimes
or help heal the
Penn State com-
munity. We
believe the only
way to help the
victims is to
uncover the full
truth, said the
family, which
has vowed its
own investiga-
tion following the release of an
investigative report by former FBI
Director Louis Freeh that found that
Paterno and three other top Penn
State administrators concealed sex
abuse claims against Sandusky.
Despite (Freehs) obviously
awed and one-sided presentation,
the university believes it must acqui-
esce and accept that Joe Paterno has
been given a fair and complete hear-
ing, the statement said.
The bronze statue, weighing more
than 900 pounds, was erected in
2001 in honor of Paternos record-
setting 324th Division I coaching
victory and his contributions to the
university. Students chanted, We
are Penn State as it came down
Sunday morning.
Penn State President Rodney
Erickson said he decided the sculp-
ture had to go because it has
become a source of division and an
obstacle to healing.
In Washington, the White House
said President Barack Obama
believed it was the right decision.
But the vast majority of fans gath-
ering outside Beaver Stadium to
watch the statues removal dis-
agreed. At least one woman wept,
others expressed anger at the deci-
sion, and nearly all said they contin-
ued to support their beloved JoePa.
I think it was an act of cowardice
on the part of the university, said
Mary Trometter, of Williamsport, who
wore a shirt bearing Paternos image.

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y.
Barry Larkin lost it before he even
started. Vicki Santo never wavered
as she honored her late husband,
Ron.
Baseballs highest honor always
seems to leave a special impression
on those directly involved.
Larkin, the former star shortstop
for the Cincinnati Reds, and Ron
Santo, a standout third baseman for
the Chicago Cubs and later a
beloved broadcaster for the team,
were inducted into the National
Baseball Hall of Fame and
Museum.
After wiping away tears as his
teenage daughter sang the national
anthem, Larkin began a litany of
thank-yous to the important people
who helped him along his journey,
none more important than his mom,
Shirley, and father, Robert, who
were seated in the rst row.
If we were going to do some-
thing, we were going to do it right,
Larkin said. Growing up, you chal-
lenged me. That was so instrumen-
tal.
Born and raised in Cincinnati,
Larkin was a two-sport star at
Moeller High School and thought
he might become a pro football
player after accepting a scholarship
to play college ball at Michigan for
Bo Schembechler. That changed in
a hurry.
He (Schembechler) redshirted
me my freshman year and told me
that he was going to allow me just to
play baseball, Larkin said.
Occasionally, Id call him while I
was playing in the big leagues and
told him that was the best decision
he made as a football coach. He did-
nt like that too much.
Drafted fourth by the Reds in
1985, despite playing just 41 games
his rst year Larkin nished seventh
in the National League Rookie of
the Year voting in 1986.
Two years later, Larkin was an
All-Star with a .296 average, 91
runs scored, 32 doubles and 40
stolen bases. And with a host of
older players to guide him Eric
Davis, Ron Oester, Buddy Bell,
player-manager Pete Rose, a
Cincinnati native, slugger Tony
Perez, and even star shortstop Dave
Concepcion, the man he would
replace Larkins major league
career quickly took off.
I played with some monumental
gures in the game, said Larkin,
who was introduced to baseball by
his dad at the age of 5. They helped
me through some very rough times
as a player.
After giving special thanks in
Spanish to the Latin players that
also helped mold him, Larkin
heaped special praise on Rose and
Concepcion.
I wouldnt be in the big leagues
if it werent for Pete, Larkin said,
eliciting a stirring applause from the
fans, two of whom were holding a
placard inscribed with Cincinnatis
hometown heroes, Larkin and
Rose.
Larkin, Santo inducted into Baseball HOF
BOSTON Brett Lawrie hit the
games first pitch for one of
Torontos four homers and the Blue
Jays tagged Jon Lester for a career-
worst 11 runs in a 15-7 victory that
completed a three-game sweep over
the Boston Red Sox on Sunday.
J.P. Arencibia, Rajai Davis and
Travis Snider also homered for the
Blue Jays.
Toronto (48-47) posted a season
high for runs and climbed out of the
AL East cellar, moving a half-game
ahead of the Red Sox (48-48). The
Blue Jays matched their season high
with 18 hits.
Lester (5-8) allowed a career-high
four homers and nine hits. He was
booed off the field after being
pulled with no outs in the fth.
Adrian Gonzalez hit a three-run
homer and Jacoby Ellsbury a solo
shot for the Red Sox, who play their
next six games on the road against
division leaders.
Boston opens a three-game series
against AL West-leading Texas on
Monday and has a three-game set
versus the East-leading New York
Yankees next weekend. Henderson
Alvarez (6-7) pitched 5 2-3 innings,
giving up seven runs and seven hits.
Lawrie belted a 95 mph fastball
completely out of Fenway Park over
the Green Monster. Edwin
Encarnacion and Davis sandwiched
RBI doubles around Arencibias
run-scoring grounder, moving
Toronto ahead 4-0. Jeff Mathis then
laid down a safety squeeze, scoring
Davis to make it 5-0.
Gonzalez hit a three-run homer in
the bottom half, but the Blue Jays
scored four more runs off Lester on
consecutive homers by Arencibia
and Davis in the second.
Arencibia hit a three-run shot into
the Monster seats after Lawrie
walked leading off and Encarnacion
drew a two-out walk. Five pitches
later, Davis homered into the rst
row of seats above the left-eld
wall. After Lester fanned Snider for
the nal out, he walked slowly to
the dugout to loud boos.
Mike Aviles sacrice y made it
9-3 before Snider, the last batter
Lester faced, hit a two-run shot onto
a black tarp that covers two sections
of center-field seats during day
games to help the hitters back-
ground. Lesters ERA ballooned to
5.46 from 4.80.

JOLIET, Ill. Elliott Sadler
spent most of the week in bed with
a stomach virus, and wasnt able to
eat anything beyond a single biscuit
Sunday morning.
As weak as Sadler felt, there was
no way he was giving up his seat.
Sadler brushed off questions from
team owner Richard Childress
about a potential replacement driv-
er, then held off a charge by Ricky
Stenhouse Jr. on a green-white-
checker nish to win the NASCAR
Nationwide Series race at
Chicagoland Speedway on Sunday.
Was there a pride factor in tough-
ing it out?
Youre damn
right, Sadler
said. I told
Richard yester-
day, I was like,
I can handle
this.
Childress said
he thought about
putting a backup
driver in place
as an insurance policy, but under-
stood why Sadler didnt want to
give up the wheel.
Ive seen drivers when it gets
down to it, thats worse than giving
your wife away, I think, Childress
said.
Childress then sheepishly apolo-
gized to Sadlers wife, who was sit-
ting off to the side in the postrace
interview room.
Explaining why it was so impor-
tant to tough it out, Sadler proudly
noted that he threw up three times in
his helmet during a race earlier in
his career.
It was a big-time pride thing
today to stay in the car and do what
I felt like I needed to do to be com-
petitive, Sadler said.
Stenhouse nished second, fol-
lowed by Justin Allgaier, Kenny
Wallace and Michael Annett.
Wallaces car was found to be too
light in postrace inspection.
NASCAR ofcials are expected to
determine any penalties early this
week.
Stenhouse appeared to have the
stronger car and was chasing down
Sadler in the closing laps of the
race. But a late caution bunched up
the eld for NASCARs version of
overtime, Sadler got a push from
Allgaier on the restart and pulled
away.
Had the race gone green until the
end, Stenhouse was certain he
would have ended up in victory
lane.
We had it won, Stenhouse said.
It was the third win of the season
for Sadler, who has eight
Nationwide victories in his career.
Sadler won at Phoenix and Bristol
earlier this season.
He leads the series standings by
11 points over Austin Dillon, who
nished sixth.
Track ofcials held a moment of
silence before the race and the No.
24 car driven by Benny Gordon car-
ried the message Remember
Aurora Colorado on its rear fender.
Danica Patrick nished 14th.
Sundays race drew a sparse
crowd, although no ofcial atten-
dance figure was immediately
released. The Sprint Cup Series was
off this weekend and will resume
racing at the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway next week.
Many of the leaders had just made
their nal pit stop of the day when
Brad Sweet spun to bring out a cau-
tion. It was a boost to several driv-
ers, including Sadler, Allgaier and
Kyle Busch, who were able to pit
under caution.
Sadler holds off Stenhouse, wins at Chicagoland
STATELINE, Nev. Dan Quinn
birdied three of his rst seven holes

L
ocal residents were sickened upon
learning that a Redwood City man
allegedly smashed a neighbors
poodle in the head with a brick after grow-
ing increasingly irritated with the dog wan-
dering onto his property. This is horric;
fortunately, its also incredibly rare. We see
cases where people neglect pets, but just a
small number of situations where someone
goes out of their way to harm an animal.
NBC Bay Area TV visited our Center for
Compassion to speak with me about situa-
tions where one neighbor grows increasing
irritated at another and a pet is at the center
of the ire. What recourse does the annoyed
neighbor have? As I explained, someone
should call their local animal control
provider (PHS/SPCA, while a private non-
prot, is the contracted provider in San
Mateo County), if a neighbor and/or their
pet is breaking a law or local ordinance. If
you have kindly asked your neighbor to
keep his dog on leash and been blown off,
call the local authority. For some pet own-
ers, an ofcial visit from someone in uni-
form can change their behavior quickly. For
something less black and white like habitual
barking (a common source of neighbor con-
icts), dog owners should correct the behav-
ior and have several options. Owners can
allow their dog to spend more time inside
the house. If this isnt possible, owners
should tire their dog before they leave for
work with a long, brisk walk. They can also
hire a dog walker even a trustworthy
neighborhood kid to walk their dog dur-
ing the day. Rather than giving their dog a
breakfast kibble in a bowl, they can use one
of a number of toys that dispense food when
the dog pushes or works at it. A Buster
Cube is one such toy. And, have your dog
meet his neighbors. This way, the neighbor
might not be the scary, unknown person on
the other side of the fence.

LOS ANGELES The Dark
Knight Rises was on track to earn
$160 million, which would be a
record for 2-D lms, over the week-
end following a mass shooting at a
Colorado screening of the Batman
lm.
Citing box office insiders, The
Hollywood Reporter, Los Angeles
Times, New York Times and other
media outlets reported Sunday that
the latest Batman sequel earned $160
to $162 million.
That amount would best the $158.4
million debut of The Dark Knight
in 2008 and give Dark Knight Rises
the third-highest domestic weekend
opening ever after the 3-D lms The
Avengers with $207.4 million and
Harry Potter and the Deathly
Hallows Part 2 with $169.2 mil-
lion.
The Hollywood Reporter also cited
box ofce sources who said Dark
Knight Rises earned $70 million
from nine of the 17 countries where it
debuted over the weekend, including
the United Kingdom, Australia, South
Korea and Spain.
Tickets for 3-D lms cost a few
more dollars than 2-D screenings,
netting extra cash at the box ofce.
Movies released in 3-D typically earn
under half of their income in 3-D
screenings, sometimes as little as a
third.
Sony, Fox, Disney, Paramount,
Universal and Lionsgate joined Dark
Knight Rises distributor Warner
Bros in publicly withholding their
usual revenue reports out of respect
for the victims and their families.
Box-ofce tracking service Rentrak
also did not report gures following
the Aurora, Colo., shootings that
killed 12 and injured 58 at a midnight
screening of the new Batman sequel
on Friday.
This tragedy did not seem to
impact the box ofce in a major way,
said Paul Dergarabedian, an analyst
for Hollywood.com who specializes
in box ofce. For this lm to still be
in the raried air of the top-three
openings of all time is phenomenal,
given the unfortunate circumstances
surrounding the release of this lm.
Dergarabedian noted that the box-
ofce ranking of director Christopher
Nolans final installment of his
Batman trilogy would not be ofcial
until Warner Bros. and other studios
release their nal weekend box-ofce
tallies Monday.

Most lots were never built upon until 20 or 30
years after purchase and the most owners
failed to pay the taxes as well as the principle.
This proved to become a huge tax problem for
San Bruno and in the 1930s delinquent lots
was sold by the city by the hundreds.
Alfred Tiasco Green was born in San
Francisco on March 21, 1857 (d. 1927). He
became a surveyor and plied his trade in the
San Bruno area in the late 1800s. While work-
ing in the area he stayed at the Cunningham
San Bruno House that had been built on an
acre of land facing San Mateo Avenue (now
American Legion Hall). In 1863 the San Jose
and San Francisco Railroad (in 1868 it
became the Southern Pacic Railroad) was
built across his property to the east.
A partnership with Mr. Hensley resulted in
the Hensley-Green Company ofce being set
up at 35 Van Ness Avenue. Their logo states
that the Hensley-Green Company was the
Largest Suburban Real Estate operators on
the Pacic Coast.
Alfred T. Greens son, A. Hyde Green (b.
1888-1961), became well known in the com-
munity and he built many homes and sold real
estate in the San Bruno area. He built a home
behind Greens Hall (which he owned at 440
San Mateo Ave.) on Mastick. He continued in
real estate dealings just like his father did and
had a business ofce next to Artichoke Joes
(670) on San Mateo Avenue. He and his wife
built a beautiful house at 433 Mastic.

HISTORY
sity has made three days after the
massacre. It remained unclear
whether Holmes professors and
other students at his 35-student
Ph.D. program noticed anything
unusual about his behavior.
His reasons for quitting the pro-
gram in June, just a year into the
ve- to seven-year program, also
remained a mystery.
Holmes recently took an intense,
three-part oral exam that marks the
end of the rst year. Those who do
well continue with their studies and
shift to full-time research, while
those who dont do well meet with
advisers and discuss their options,
including retaking the exam.
University ofcials would not say if
he passed, citing privacy concerns.
The university said Holmes gave
no reason for his withdrawal, a deci-
sion he made in June.
Holmes was not allowed access
from the institution after his with-
drawal, which was standard oper-
ating procedure because he was no
longer afliated with the school,
Montgomery said. Holmes had no
contact with university police, she
said.
The university declined to release
any details of his academic record,
citing privacy concerns, and at least
two dozen professors and other staff
declined to speak with The
Associated Press. Some said they
were instructed not to talk publicly
about Holmes in a blanket email
sent to university employees.
Jacque Montgomery, a spokes-
woman for the University of
Colorado medical school, said that
police have told the school to not
talk about Holmes. The university
also took down the website for its
graduate neuroscience program on
Saturday.
Dan Keeney, president of DPK
Public Relations in Dallas, said ask-
ing for silence from university
employees because of a police
investigation was appropriate, but
taking down the website was inde-
fensible for a publicly funded uni-
versity unless the school believed it
contained inaccurate information
relating to the program.
Its an indefensible action, he
said. Its disappointing to hear that
they would take that action because
it suggests that its not in the pub-
lics interest to have access to that
information and I think it is in the
publics interest.
Background
Amid the continuing investigation
of Holmes and his background,
Sunday was a day for healing and
remembrance in Aurora, with
President Barack Obama arriving to
visit with families of the victims
and a vigil that began in the early
evening.
Obama said he told the families of
the victims of Fridays massacre
that all of America and much of the
world is thinking about them. He
met with them at the University of
Colorado Hospital in Aurora, which
treated 23 of the people injured in
the mass shooting; 10 remain there,
seven hurt critically.
Congregations across Colorado
prayed for the shooting victims and
their relatives. Churches sent out
social-media appeals for neighbors
who wanted to join in remem-
brance. Elderly churchgoers at an
aging Presbyterian church within
walking distance near Holmes
apartment joined in prayer, though
none had ever met him.
Meanwhile, the owner of a gun
range told the AP that Holmes
applied to join the club last month
but never became a member
because of his behavior and a
bizarre message on his voice
mail.
He emailed an application to join
the Lead Valley Range in Byers on
June 25 in which he said he was not
a user of illegal drugs or a convicted
felon, said owner Glenn Rotkovich.
When Rotkovich called to invite
him to a mandatory orientation the
following week, he said he heard a
message on Holmes voice mail that
was bizarre guttural, freakish at
best.
He left two other messages but
eventually told his staff to watch out
for Holmes at the July 1 orientation
and not to accept him into the club,
Rotkovich said.
Ritchie Duong, a friend who has
known Holmes for more than a
decade, told the Los Angeles Times
that in high school he liked to play
cards and video games. They both
attended undergraduate school at
the University of California,
Riverside, where they saw each
other once a week to watch the TV
show Lost.
Duong last saw Holmes in
December when they met for dinner
in Los Angeles and saw a movie
together. His friend seemed ne, he
told the newspaper. Academics
came easily to Holmes both at high
school and at the UC Riverside,
Duong said.
I had one college class with him,
and he didnt even have to take
notes or anything. He would just
show up to class, sit there, and
around test time he would always
get an A, said Duong, 24.
The pastor for the family of the
suspect also recalled a shy boy who
was driven to succeed academically.
He wasnt an extrovert at all. If
there was any conversation, it would
be because I initiated it, not because
he did, said Jerald Borgie, senior
pastor of Penasquitos Lutheran
Church. Borgie said he never saw
the suspect mingle with others his
age at church.
Holmes told the pastor he wanted
to attend a University of California
school and pursue graduate studies.
Borgie, who last spoke with Holmes
about six years ago, doesnt remem-
ber the suspect being more specic
about his goals.
Wanted to be the best
He had some goals. He wanted
to succeed, he wanted to go out, and
he wanted to be the best, Borgie
said.
He took pride in his academic
abilities. A good student. He didnt
brag about it.
The family has belonged to the
church for about 10 years, Borgie
said. The suspects mother, Arlene,
attends services every week and
volunteers her time.
During the attack early Friday,
Holmes set off gas canisters and
used the military-style semiauto-
matic rie, a shotgun and a pistol to
open re on the unsuspecting the-
ater-goers, Oates said. Holmes had
bought the weapons at local gun
stores in the past two months. He
recently purchased 6,000 rounds of
ammunition over the Internet, the
chief said.
The gunmans semiautomatic
assault rifle jammed during the
attack at the Aurora movie theater,
forcing him to switch to another gun
with less repower, a federal law
enforcement official told The
Associated Press. That malfunction
and weapons switch during the
shooting rampage might have saved
some lives.
Oates said a 100-round ammuni-
tion drum was found in the theater
but said he did not know whether it
jammed or emptied.
Police have finished collecting
evidence from the apartment where
the Colorado shooting suspect lived,
but residents are still not allowed
back into the building because of
chemical hazards. Aurora police
said Sunday residents can retrieve
personal items, but the building
remains closed.
The shooting was the worst in the
U.S. since the Nov. 5, 2009, attack
at Fort Hood, Texas. An Army psy-
chiatrist was charged with killing 13
soldiers and civilians and wounding
more than two dozen others.
Across the street from the movie
theater, a man who placed 15 cross-
es near Columbine High School
after a 1999 massacre there has
returned to Colorado with 12 cross-
es for the victims of Fridays shoot-
ing.
Greg Zanis, of Aurora, Ill., put up
the 3 1/2-foot-tall crosses Sunday
on a hill across the street from the
Century 16 theater.

conversations about infrastructure.
Starting that conversation began with a
moment when everything went wrong.
Its that story of how one town reacted to
that horrible situation which is explored
in a 30-minute documentary by director
Jon Rubin that will be shown at the San
Mateo County History Museum days
before the second anniversary of the re
and explosion. The lm features footage
of the re in progress and also interviews
with many involved including reght-
ers, residents from the area, Mayor Jim
Ruane and City Manager Connie
Jackson. Both Ruane and Jackson will be
on hand during the showing to eld ques-
tions after the lm.
In the last two years, the city of San
Bruno has worked diligently to move for-
ward and rebuild the area while advocat-
ing for safety improvements in hopes of
making the experience an isolated one.
But the movie brings one back to that
evening when so little was known, re
was spreading quickly, strangers were
helping one another and many remained
glued to their television set late into the
night watching live coverage from a heli-
copter as re continued to consume the
area.
It was the national television coverage
that rst alerted Mitch Postel, president of
the San Mateo County Historical
Association, of the impact this event
would have. Postel lives only a quarter of
a mile from the spot where the pipe rup-
tured. A call from his son alerted him of a
possible problem but a quick glance out
of his back window showed nothing to
be alarmed about. Postels son called
back, asking his father to peer out the
front window. There was a different sit-
uation lots of re.
The National Transportation and
Safety Board attributed a spike in pres-
sure coupled with a faulty weld in the
30-inch pipeline as the trigger for the
fatal explosion that killed eight,
destroyed 38 homes and damaged over
70 homes. It took 95 minutes to turn off
the gas fueling the re. Water mains
were broken during the explosion creat-
ing an additional challenge to those try-
ing to limit the damage of the ames.
Expressing the emotions of those who
were there confusion, frustration,
hope wasnt difcult, Rubin said.
Once people began to talk, it really felt
like these people had been through a
war, he said.
Rubins hope was to create a lm that
is respectful of the views of those who
were affected by the incident. In addi-
tion, he hoped the lm could act as a
cautionary tale to others.
The documentary will be shown 7
p.m. Thursday, Sept. 6 at the San Mateo
County History Museum, 2200
Broadway, Redwood City. The evening
is free with the cost of admission, $5 for
adults and $3 for students and seniors.

FIRE
Today the 63-year-old who lives in San
Francisco works as a documentary lm
maker. Soon the San Mateo County
History Museum will debut his 30-minute
lm about the Sept. 9, 2010 nature gas line
explosion and re in San Bruno. Hes also
working on a lm about former San
Francisco Mayor George Moscone who
was assassinated in 1978.
Before Rubin had a chance to interview
others and explore local politics, he began
working in political campaigns. Political
work started early for Rubin who helped a
friend running for vice president in high
school. Then in college, Rubin again
helped a friend run for student body. Both
were successful campaigns. After gradua-
tion, Rubin and a friend went on the road
to work for George McGovern, the 1972
Democratic Party presidential nominee.
That job ultimately landed him in
California.
Rubin has worked as a political consult-
ant on four presidential campaigns, a vari-
ety of state and local campaigns, worked
as the political director of the California
Democratic Party and served as chief of
staff for state Sen. Quentin Kopp.
It was through working on political
campaigns that Rubin met Diane
Kefauver, who was working, and contin-
ues to work, for Nancy Pelosi. Rubin
recalled his now wife of 32 years as being
a lovely girl who, he laughed, was foolish
enough to give him a chance. They have
two children together.
For me, its a dream come true. Ive
always wanted to live here and marry
Diane, even though I didnt know her at
the time, said Rubin.
Becoming a lm maker was another
dream Rubin achieved due to his associa-
tion with politics. It was while making 30-
second political spots that Rubin noticed
the changes in lm making, like using a
computer to quickly edit together the
pieces, which dramatically cut the costs.
He began making movies that were small-
er like a ick featuring South San
Francisco High School or a local
plumbers union anniversary.
I found for myself, when you make a
lm about a person or a series of historical
events, if you can actually use the voices of
the people who participated as opposed to
a written voice over, you can get a very
authentic living document that can encap-
sulate historical moment in the voices and
vernacular that are contemporary to the
event or the person, said Rubin. So, if
someone were to look at it later they could
see or feel how it was then.
Rubins used that method to explore his-
tory and politics throughout the Bay Area
but particularly in San Mateo County. As
the video documentarian for the San
Mateo Historical Association, Rubin has
directed most of the video content in the
San Mateo County History Museum. Hes
explored notable local families like the
Crockers, the Roths and the Fosters, and
produced and directed documentaries on
surng at Mavericks and horse racing at
Bay Meadows.
I would like to just spend the rest of my
life making lms and traveling, Rubin
said. The documentary lm business is, in
many ways, really difcult. ... Its a chance
to really look at things and try to hear the
real stories. Its endlessly stimulating and
fascinating. Its what Ive always wanted
to do. Delighted to be doing it.

and leeks kept vegetable crop value
healthy with $693,000 more in value
than 2010. Brussels sprouts are continu-
ally on the rise, with its dollar gures
increasing even in past years of overall
value drops, too. The same held true
even 50 years ago. According to a chart
Crowder included of the top 10 agricul-
tural commodities in 1961, Brussels
sprouts were still king in San Mateo
County followed by indoor grown carna-
tions and owering potted plants, mush-
rooms, outdoor grown chrysanthemums,
milk, cattle and calves, hogs and pigs,
indoor grown chrysanthemums and
indoor grown organs.
In the most recent report, Field crops
like oat hay and grain and dry beans
raised production of eld crops by 29.1
percent and lumber pushed forest prod-
ucts by 18.2 percent.
An interest in beekeeping con-
tributing both honey and beeswax
along with more dairy and egg produc-
tion helped livestock products and api-
ary post a 56.9 percent, or $536,000,
increase.

fgure out exactly what the problem is all about.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If youre on your toes,
youll spot some benefcial developments that are
taking place so quietly that most people wouldnt
even notice. Being frst on the spot will gain you the
upper hand.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Certain friends could be
of tremendous help in a commercial situation, if you
understand what they have to offer. Dont hesitate to
question them about what they know.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Two important objec-
tives can be reached, if you use your smarts when
going after them. Keep a low profle and dont
broadcast your intentions to the uninvolved.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Because you
are likely to be especially effective in dealing with
committee work, chances are any constructive
suggestion you make will be exactly what is needed.
Speak up.

implementing changes that would improve conditions
where your work or career is concerned. Even if this
means humbling yourself a bit, itll be worth it.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Todays conditions are
conducive for you to begin building the network you
need to accomplish an important aim. Start gathering
those who have proven they can work well with you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Dont sit on your duff
just because you havent made any plans. Utilize this
free time to connect all the loose ends youve left
dangling.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If your methods or
procedures are better than what others have to offer,
dont be surprised if you capture the attention of those
who matter. Dont be a show-off -- just do your thing.

conditions are better than usual, dont use it as an
excuse to blow a wad on frivolous things that wont
mean anything to you down the line.

TENTIAL BIDDERS If you are consider-
ing bidding on this property lien, you
should understand that there are risks in-
volved in bidding at a trustee auction.
You will be bidding on a lien, not on a
property itself. Placing the highest bid at
a trustee auction does not automatically
entitle you to free and clear ownership of
the property. You should also be aware
that the lien being auctioned off may be a
junior lien. If you are the highest bidder
at the auction, you are or may be respon-
sible for paying off all liens senior to the
lien being auctioned off, before you can
receive clear title to the property. You
are encouraged to investigate the exis-
tence, priority, and size of outstanding
liens that may exist on this property by
contacting the county recorder's office or
a title insurance company, either of
which may charge you a fee for this infor-
mation. If you consult either of these re-
sources, you should be aware that the
lender may hold more than one mort-
gage or deed of trust on the property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER The
sale date shown on this notice of sale
may be postponed one or more times by
the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a
court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the
California Civil Code. The law requires
that information about trustee sale post-
ponements be made available to you and
to the public, as a courtesy to those not
present at the sale. If you wish to learn
whether your sale date has been post-
poned, and, if applicable, the resched-
uled time and date for the sale of this
property, you may call 1-800-281-8219
or visit this Internet Web site www.recon-
trustco.com, using the file number as-
signed to this case 12-0013135. Infor-
mation about postponements that are
very short in duration or that occur close
in time to the scheduled sale may not im-
mediately be reflected in the telephone
information or on the Internet Web site.
The best way to verify postponement in-
formation is to attend the scheduled sale.

There Is
New Hope!
A Health Center
Dedicated to
Severe Disc
Conditions
Youve seen the ads and heard the
radio commercials about my Non-
Surgical Spinal Decompression
treatment. At Crossroads Health
Center, Ive created an entire facility
dedicated to patients with severe disc
conditions that have not responded
to traditional care. My revolutionary,
Crossroads Method, provides a very
high success rate to patients with
serious back, neck, leg and arm pain
even when all else has failed. This
FDA cleared; non-surgical treatment
allows us to rehabilitate your
herniated or degenerative disc(s)
by reversing internal pressure and
enabling your disc(s) to heal from the
inside out. We succeed where other
treatments have failed by removing
the pressure that is causing pain to
your disc(s) and nerves without
drugs, injections, invasive surgery or
harmful side effects.
The only ofce to have
The Crossroads Method
This method which includes
computerized true disc
decompression is considered by
many doctors to be the most
advanced and successful non-
invasive treatment of serious back,
neck, leg or arm pain.
This procedure allows for a much
higher success rate by increasing
hydration of your discs, fexibility,
relaxation of muscles and ligaments
along with improving muscle and
core strength, balance and posture.
This results in a more effective and
lasting solution to your pain. There
are no side effects and no recovery
time is required.
This gentle and relaxing treatment
has proven to be effective even
when drugs, epidurals, traditional
chiropractic, physical therapy
and surgery have failed The
Crossroads Method has shown
dramatic results.
Patient Testimonials
During the 1 1/2 years of having
constant daily lower back pain and
spasms, I took anti-infammatory
and pain medication, but nothing
helped lessen the pain. When
an MRI showed that I had two
degenerative discs, I went through a
series of lumbar epidural injections
without success. The only thing
that made the pain and spasms go
away was Spinal Decompression
treatments at Crossroads Health
Center. Four years later and I am
still pain-free!
Lisa K.
My severe low back and sciatica
pain have been reduced signifcantly
since receiving spinal decompression
therapy at Crossroads Health Center.
I am now able to walk, golf, and do
things that I havent been able to do in
years! I would also like to say thanks
to Dr. Ferrigno and the offce staff as
they went above and beyond to make
sure my back problem was resolved. I
couldnt be happier!!

How Will I Know If I Qualify
for Treatment?
When you come in for a
complimentary consultation we will
ask a series of questions and perform
a comprehensive examination to
determine exactly where the pain is
coming from. If x-rays are necessary,
we can take them in our offce. Once
we determine the cause of your
pain we will let you know if we can
help you and if you qualify for our
treatment protocol.
If we dont feel like we can help we
will refer you to someone who can.
