Report: Close health facility

Civil grand jury recommends closing county-run Burlingame Long-Term Care
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Mateo County should shutter its long-term care facility in Burlingame, moving residents to either the main county hospital or urging the state to loosen the rules of what care Medi-Cal will cover, according to the civil grand jury. In a report released yesterday, the
San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury recommends shutting down the aging and seismically unsafe Burlingame Long-Term Care facility and nding other options for clients who may have nowhere else to go. Renovating the care facility, which has a history of problems with ownership and structural deciencies, is not a wise investment for the county, the jury found.
I dont think its that far off base, said Carole Groom, president of the Board of Supervisors. The rent is too high and the building is too old. The civil grand jury appears to have a sophisticated understanding of the complicated issue, said Louise Rogers, deputy director of the San Mateo County Health System. The Burlingame site at 1100 Trousdale Drive is one of two skilled
nursing facilities under the umbrella of the San Mateo Medical Center. The other is a 64-bed facility providing short-term care on the main hospital campus in San Mateo. The Burlingame care home currently uses about 230 of its 281 beds and the average stay is a year although several clients remain indenitely. The county took over Burlingame
Long-Term Care in August 2003 rather than risk the state Department of Health Services placing its MediCal patients in facilities as far away as Oregon. DHS had assumed operation the previous year when the facility faced bankruptcy but couldnt nd a new owner until San Mateo County stepped in.

Ron Cox, former Foster City mayor and tireless volunteer, passed away Saturday at the age of 61. Cox suffered with medical issues for years before his death and was told by doctors to slow down. But those who knew him best said those words were not in his vocabulary. He was such an important part of Foster City, said police Capt. Jon Froomin, who called Cox a friend of 11 years. Cox was an avid supporter of youth sports and active in the Foster City Lions Club. He lived and breathed Foster City, Froomin said.
He was termed out of the Foster City Council in 2007 after serving two terms as mayor in 2002 and 2007. He was also named mayor in 1999 Ron Cox because he received the most votes in the election but gave up the seat a month later because he did not think the appointment process was fair. With his work with the Lions Club, Cox helped raise $14,000 to keep the Fourth of July reworks

Hundreds packed the parking lot near the Caltrain station at First Avenue to sample food from Hapa SF, 3-Sum Eats, Curry Up Now and many others. Last night was the events soft launch and people formed lines at
the trucks well before the ofcial 5 p.m. start time. Paolo Briones, a San Bruno resident, was in a line at the Chairman Bao truck a full 20 minutes before it started serving customers. Briones is a fan of Chairman Baos tender pork belly bun with pickled daikon. It is soft and chewy, he said. Briones found Off the Grid in San Francisco and is glad to see it expand into San Mateo. He was eager to sample food from Whisk on Wheels, which he
had yet to encounter. Off the Grid has its ofcial opening next Monday and will park in downtown San Mateo on Mondays, at least through the summer. Off the Grid partnered with the Downtown San Mateo Association to turn the parking lot at the train station into a weekly gathering spot akin to farmers markets.

Strange but True

Whoa, baby! Texas mom delivers 16-pound newborn
LONGVIEW, Texas A Texas mom expected a big baby, but nothing like this: 16 pounds, 1 ounces. Janet Johnson on Monday remained in an East Texas hospital after giving birth to what her doctors called one of the biggest newborns theyve ever seen. She was awaiting word on whether her son, JaMichael Brown, ranked among the biggest births in state history. Everybody was amazed that he was so big, Johnson, 39, said. I dont think too many people have heard of having a 16-pound baby. JaMichael was born Friday at Good Shepherd Medical Center in Longview. Johnson has gestational diabetes, which results in bigger newborns for many mothers. Doctors had estimated JaMichael would be around 12 pounds prior to the cesarean birth. The hospital has asked the states vital records department whether JaMichael is big enough to approach any Texas newborn records, said Victoria Ashworth, a hospital spokeswoman. He is certainly the biggest in the history of the Longview hospital and was born, Ashworth said, almost two years to the day after the hospital delivered its smallest baby ever, who weighed just 15 ounces. Guinness World Records says the heaviest newborn ever recorded weighed 23 pounds, 12 ounces, born to an Ohio woman in 1879. Ashworth said JaMichael, whose father is 6-foot-7, was likely to be transferred Monday from the neonatal intensive care unit and into the regular nursery. Johnson said she hoped to get her son home later this week and return his newborn clothes that wont t. Not to mention, Johnson said, get her son out of the spotlight nally. Its gotten overwhelming, Johnson said. But if I had heard of someone having a 16-pound baby, I would probably want to have heard about it, too. Monday are imprinted with Vamos Jose! The original shorts, also $15, feature a sheriffs star and a Go Joe logo. Vamos translates to We go in English. A similar-sounding word, Vamanos, means Lets go! in Spanish. A more accurate translation of Go Joe! would be Andale, Jose!

San Bruno ofcials are hoping a $2 million grant will help fund the installation of synthetic grass at Lions Field to support more playing time throughout the year. On Tuesday, the City Council will vote on a resolution supporting the application which was already submitted by staff to make the July 1 deadline. The Statewide Park Program offers grants to create new park land and develop recreational areas, according to a staff report written by Public Services Director Klara Fabry and Community Services Director Randy Schwartz. Applicants do not need to match the money. However, there must be less than 3 acres per
1,000 population in a half-mile radius of the project location. Lions Field ts the criteria. San Bruno began discussing a turf eld in 2009 during a joint study session between the City Council and the Parks and Recreation Commission. Last year, the city used $200,000 from park-in-lieu fees to cover the survey and design work. Current estimates for the new eld range from $1.55 million to $2 million depending on which option is chosen. San Bruno ofcials previously announced intentions to use $1 million in park-in-lieu fees toward the cost. That was made before staff realized there was a grant option to fund the upgrade. Recipients will be notied during the spring. At the same meeting, the council will consid-
er waiving re department, public services department, water and wastewater fees for residents impacted by the Glenview Fire. In October, the council voted to exempt residents rebuilding and remodeling homes impacted by the re from permit and inspection fees. This would add an exemption for more fees for eligible residents. This includes properties on: Glenview Drive, Claremont Drive, Earl Avenue, Vermont Way, Fairmont Drive, Estates Drive, Concord Way, Plymouth Way, Moore Court, Crosby Court and Daley Court. The council meets 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 12 at the Senior Center, 1555 Crystal Springs Road, San Bruno.

Burglary. A stereo was taken from a vehicle on San Juan Boulevard before 10:44 a.m. Monday, June 27.
A 55-year-old San Francisco man who has already been convicted three times for robbery told authorities he nabbed a pair of shoes from a J.C. Penney store because his disability insurance had run out. Henry Sherold Frye said things are so tough right now after San Bruno police responded to reports of his shoplifting the pair of shoes last August, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. But while Frye may claim economic conditions led to the newest arrest, Wagstaffe said
he has a criminal history that includes eight felony convictions of which three are for robbery. Robbery counts as both a serious and violent felony, leading to the possibility of a third strike conviction and a return to prison for 25 years to life. Henry Frye Instead, he pleaded no contest yesterday to felony commercial burglary and faces up to 32 months prison when sentenced Sept. 7. Frye was arrested Aug. 19, 2010 after
reportedly picking out a pair of shoes at the Shops at Tanforan store, sliding them into a bag he brought with him and leaving without paying. After authorities stopped Frye, he allegedly apologized and said his disability payments had ended. Frye remains in custody in lieu of $25,000 bail. Defense attorney Alex Bernstein could not be reached for comment.

Fire ofcial: Elementary school blaze was arson

A re that damaged a Daly City elementary school on Sunday night appears to be a case of arson, a re spokesman said Monday morning. Fireghters responded to Skyline Elementary School at 55 Christen Ave. at about 10:30 p.m. after a re alarm in a portable classroom went off, North County Fire Authority spokesman Matt Lucett said. Fire investigators found three spots around the exterior of the building where someone apparently tried to light the building on re, Lucett said. At one of the ignition points, ames grew hot enough to penetrate the classroom wall, which resulted in smoke and re damage to part of building, Lucett said. Fireghters were able to contain the blaze quickly, and the scene was cleared by midnight. No one was injured, and the damage to the building was still being assessed. An arson investigation is being conducted by Daly City police, Lucett said.

Crews to remove 250 bay trees

Starting Monday, a crew will begin removing roughly 250 bay trees in several open space lands in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties to stop the spread of a plant pathogen that causes oak tree species to die. The pathogen, Phytophthora Ramorum, causes certain oak trees to die from sudden oak death. In an effort to understand and eradicate the disease, the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District has enlisted the help of a work crew with the California Conservation Corps to remove nearly 250 bay trees within 15 feet of 49 healthy oak trees. According to the open space district, research has shown that removing bay trees within 15 feet of oak trees signicantly lowers their chances of becoming infected and dying from sudden oak death. Bay trees are a host species that can transmit the pathogen. The tree removal will begin today and will continue through July 28. The crew will begin work this week at Monte Bello and Los Trancos open space preserves in Santa Clara County and Long Ridge Open Space Preserve in San Mateo County. Next week, the crew will tackle the trees at the Long Ridge

San Jose man dies in fall from cliff near Pescadero

A San Jose man fell to his death on Friday from a cliff along the San Mateo County coast, a coroners deputy said. Ruben Santos, 56, died from injuries suffered when he fell from a cliff near state Highway 1 and Pescadero Creek Road, according to the San Mateo County Coroners Ofce. Santos was declared dead at the scene. $200,000. The San Francisco Chronicle reports that a judge agreed to a request from Lugos attorney, Douglas Horngrad, to postpone his arraignment until Friday. Horngrad said he wants Lugos $5 million bail reduced. The 30-year-old sommelier from Hoboken, N.J., is charged with grand theft, possession of stolen property and seconddegree burglary. Police on Wednesday arrested Lugo in Napa, where they found the undamaged drawing stripped from its frame.
SAN FRANCISCO Alcohol was a likely factor in the death of a 14-year-old Northern California girl after she and three friends apparently drank vodka mixed with soda during a weekend sleepover, authorities said Monday. Paramedics found Takeimi Rao of Santa Rosa dead in her bedroom around 9 a.m. Sunday. Her parents could not be immediately reached for comment. The girl, who was entering ninth grade in the fall, was hosting a sleepover Saturday night, Sonoma County sheriffs Lt. Dennis OLeary said. He said Rao apparently took a bottle of vodka from the kitchen cabinet and likely poured it into an empty plastic water bottle. OLeary thinks the girls, all 14, may have been mixing the liquor with soda. We believe they were drinking alcohol, OLeary said. Right now we are investigating the death as suspicious, but we think it may be accidental. OLeary said results from an autopsy being performed Monday and toxicology tests could take up to two weeks. Raos mother told authorities she woke up early Sunday and saw two of the girls throwing up. They told her they were suffering from food poisoning from dinner earlier as she helped clean them up and put them back to bed. The mother woke up about an hour later when her daughter and another girl began vomiting. Hours later, two of the girls had already been picked up by their parents and a third was in the shower when Raos parents tried waking their daughter. OLeary said criminal charges against Raos parents are unlikely. Raos friends later told investigators the girl had passed around a soda that had tasted strange, but they said they didnt know what was in it. Authorities advised the girls parents to take them to a hospital as a precaution.

Rocketship Education, a network of hybrid K-5 public charter schools, recently announced it will to open a new elementary charter school in East Palo Alto in the fall of 2012. Rocketships decision results from overwhelming support from East Palo Alto parents and community leaders for a high-performing public school option in their community. The new elementary school would bring the total number of schools under the Rocketship umbrella to six charter schools. Rocketship submitted its charter petition in late January, with the support of nearly 700 East Palo Alto parents, representing over 1,000 Millbrae in 1969.

STATE GOVERNMENT
The California Assembly approved (4325) legislation that would allow local air districts (such as the Bay Area Air Quality Management District) and metropolitan planning organizations (such as the Metropolitan Transportation Commission) to adopt a regional commute benet requirement of medium and large businesses. Senate Bill 582, authored by state Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco/San Mateo, is tailored after a San Francisco ordinance that ensures employers help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, congestion, and air pollution by offering employees the option to pay for their public transit, vanpooling, or bicycling expenses with pre-tax dollars, or by offering employees a transit or vanpool subsidy or free shuttle service.
Arts Education Development. County Supervisor Don Horsley commended Halaby, program director of Art in Action, for her contribution to arts education in the countys schools. Since joining Art in Action in September 1987, Halaby has trained more than 10,000 teachers and parent volunteers to teach art to kindergarten through eighth grade school children in San Mateo County schools, providing a high quality art program to more than 23,000 local students each year.

Utility seeks jury trial for pipeline blast suits
SAN BRUNO The California utility company whose ruptured pipeline killed eight people in a massive explosion is seeking a jury trial to ght lawsuits led by dozens of victims. Pacic Gas and Electric Co. made the request in a recent court ling denying that the company should have to pay damages. The ling does not respond to the allegations of specific suits, but instead offers a litany of defenses the utility may seek to put forward at trial. The defenses include the claim that others may be responsible for the injuries or losses suffered in the September blast, including the victims themselves. PG&E spokeswoman Brittany Chord told the San Francisco Chronicle on Monday that the ling was a standard part of the legal process.
Drug dispute led to triple murder in Richmond

Investigators believe an argument over a drug deal led to the shooting deaths of three men inside an apartment in Richmonds Iron Triangle neighborhood on Saturday, Richmond police Capt. Mark Gagan said today. Police received a 911 call reporting a shooting at 974 Triangle Circle in the Triangle Court public housing development just before 4:30 p.m., Gagan said. Investigators believe there was a dispute over a drug transaction that led to the shooting of a resident, 26-year-old Michael Anderson. Other people then reportedly shot and killed 19-year-old Oakland resident Dante Deloney and 28-year-old San Leandro resident Corey Walker II, Gagan said. Two people were taken to the police station for questioning afterward but have since been released. After looking at the physical evidence and the statements they made, they are not being charged at this time, Gagan said. Police declined to release further details about the shooting, citing the ongoing investigation.
Caffeine-laced beer drinks now banned

Police prevent man from jumping off overpass

Negotiators successfully prevented a suicidal man from jumping off a highway overpass in Pittsburg Monday morning, Pittsburg police Lt. Ron Raman said. At about 7 a.m., police received a report of a man leaning over the Loveridge Road overcrossing. A supervisor and three ofcers who happened to be members of the Pittsburg Police Departments crisis negotiation team responded. They found the man, a 30-year-old Stockton resident, on the overpass. He appeared to be paranoid and delusional, and made several attempts to jump off the overpass, Raman said. At one point, the man even stood on the railing and balanced with just his feet, Raman said. The ofcers continued to talk to him and, at about 9:30 a.m. when he was momentarily distracted by lighting a cigarette, they were able to grab him and take him into custody, according to Raman. He was arrested for a parole violation and taken to a hospital, Raman said. The California Highway Patrol closed state Highway 4 in both directions for about two and a half hours while the incident was going on, CHP
SACRAMENTO The California Assembly moved Monday to prohibit the production and sale of beer laced with caffeine and join other states concerned the beverages are aimed at young people and make it easy to drink too much. The ban was approved on a 43-24 vote. It passed the state Senate in April but that chamber must now reconsider changes made by the Assembly before the bill can be sent to the governor. The bill, SB39, would ban the import, production, distribution or retail sale of beer and related alcoholic beverages that have caffeine added. At least six other states have passed similar bans. The measure by Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Los Angeles, targets beverages that have been banned on some college campuses after inci-
dents of alcohol poisoning and blackouts among students. The drinks are often fruit-avored and marketed in ways that appeal to young people. Studies have found that theyre often cheaper than energy drinks without alcohol, Padilla said after the vote. The added caffeine masks the effects of the high alcohol content, which can lead to binge drinking and dangerous behavior, he said. Opponents of the bill noted that college students under 21 who drink alcohol are already breaking the law, and that Irish coffee combines alcohol and caffeine but no one is proposing a ban on that drink. No matter what the beverage, if you drink enough of it, youre going to pass out, said Assemblyman Chris Norby, R-Fullerton. Is this really something that needs a state law? Nearly two dozen students at New Jerseys Ramapo College were hospitalized in 2010 after drinking a
malt beverage with caffeine and other ingredients commonly found in energy drinks. Soon after, state regulators in Michigan began looking at whether the labels of the caffeinated beers adequately described how much alcohol and stimulants they contained. Federal regulators also have taken up the questions of the safety and marketing practices of the beverage makers, which sell drinks under brands such as Joose and Four Loko. Critics of the drinks say some of the large, brightly colored cans have the drug content of ve beers and a cup of coffee. Some major brewery companies dropped the caffeinated brews in 2008 after regulatory pressure, but smaller companies stepped into the market void. Some of the current manufacturers have changed their drink formulas since they have become targets for scrutiny, while others have halted production.
Grill likely started re that destroyed Healdsburg home

A charcoal barbecue grill likely started a re that destroyed a two-story house in Healdsburg early Sunday morning, Healdsburg Fire Department Chief Steven Adams said today. The couple who lived at the home used the barbecue on the bottom level of a two-story redwood deck at the rear of the house, located at 241 Albert Court, on Saturday evening, Adams said. Hot ashes or embers from the bottom pan of the grill likely escaped through open vents and fell onto the deck, igniting the re, Adams said. The blaze, reported around 2 a.m. Sunday, spread to the 2,500-squarefoot home, causing $400,000 to $500,000 in damage, Adams said. The re threatened three nearby homes, but was controlled after about two hours. One reghter was injured by falling debris that struck his helmet.
Amazon: Let voters decide on tax collection

By Rachel Metz
SAN FRANCISCO Amazon.com Inc. wants California voters to decide whether to overturn a new law that forces online retailers to collect sales taxes there, setting the stage for a potentially high-dollar ballot ght next year that would pit business against business. A petition for a referendum was led Friday with the state Attorney Generals Ofce so that voters can decide on the requirement, which was included in a state budget signed into law in late June. The new law forces online retailers to collect California sales taxes by expanding the denition of having a physical presence in the state. The requirement now kicks in if an online retailer has a related company, such as a marketing or product-development arm, or afliates in the state individuals and companies that earn commis-
sions by referring visitors to Amazon from their websites. Passage of the law, which is projected to help the state collect an additional $200 million annually, adds California to a growing list of states that have turned to such measures in hopes of bringing in more tax revenue. Its legislature passed a similar law in 2009, but then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed it. Billions of dollars are at stake as a growing number of states look for ways to generate more revenue without violating a 1992 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that prohibits them from forcing businesses to collect sales taxes unless the business has a physical presence, such as a store, in that state. When consumers order from out-of-state retailers, theyre supposed to pay the tax that is due, but they rarely do and its difcult to enforce. States are trying to get around the Supreme Court restriction by passing laws that broaden the denition of a
physical presence. Online retailers, meanwhile, are resisting being deputized as tax collectors. Amazon had thousands of afliates in California, which received fees varying from 4 percent to 15 percent of each sale they brought to the company. Amazon, which is based in Seattle, cut ties with them after the laws passage. Paul Misener, Amazons vice president of public policy, said the referendum supports jobs and investment in California. At a time when businesses are leaving California, it is important to enact policies that attract and encourage business, not drive it away, he said. Assemblyman Charles Calderon, who introduced one of the bills that was combined into the online tax measure, called Amazons decision an odd tactic. The Whittier-based Democrat said the ballot approach also will face opposition from California businesses large and small that are hurt by out-of-state competitors who dont collect the taxes.

Victims parents suing state, Schwarzenegger

By Juliet Williams
SACRAMENTO Former California Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez said Monday that his sons manslaughter sentence last year in the stabbing death of a 22year-old college student was politically motivated, angering the parents of the victim. The parents are suing the state and former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, claiming that he violated state law when he failed to notify them that he was reducing Esteban Nunezs sentence from 16 years to seven just hours before leaving ofce. Outside the rst court hearing in the case, Fabian Nunez said his son
received a tougher sentence because of his fathers political career and the district attorneys ambitions. When youre dealing with a district attorney like we did in San Diego, who clearly, you know, has aspirations and has always had aspirations for higher office, the approach that they took to my sons case, and in particular to him, irrespective of the facts of the actual case they picked on my son from day one, said Nunez, a Los Angeles Democrat who was termed out of ofce in 2008. You add up an overzealous district attorney with a judge in San Diego who represented that he would, my son, get a much lower sentence and then went back on his word thats why we are where we
are. Its just a horrible tragedy all around and I feel horrible, Nunez said. B o n n i e Dumanis, the San Diego district attorney who prosecuted Arnold Schwarzenegger the case, is now running for mayor of the city. In a statement released by her ofce, Dumanis said the sole purpose of the criminal prosecution and a separate civil case led by her ofce seeking to overturn the sentence commutation was to bring justice to the victims of the crime. The DAs ofce makes prosecu-
torial decisions based on the evidence and the law, treating defendants the same regardless of who they may be related to, she said. Unfortunately, the governor didnt do the same and his last-minute commutation greatly diminished justice and outraged the community. Were trying to right that wrong. Nunez also called the lawsuit led by the family a waste of taxpayers money and said he believes Californias victims rights statute known as Marsys Law, which voters approved in 2008, does not apply to the governors power to commute or pardon sentences. The family of Luis Santos, who was stabbed to death after being attacked by Esteban Nunez and three friends in San Diego, was just
steps away from the elder Nunez as he spoke to reporters in the small waiting area outside a Sacramento County courtroom. Luis father, Fred Santos, said it was Nunez who made the case political by asking the Republican governor to spare his son a longer prison term. The speaker of the Assembly is one of the most powerful positions in state government. He did politicize this process, we did not politicize this process. Were just regular citizens. We have no pull with any politicians. Hes the politician, Santos said. Hes the one with the weight and the pull that made a sitting governor break the law and reduce his sons sentence. Thats the political process he was talking about.
Riverside County official seeks to split state

RIVERSIDE Thirteen mostly conservative California counties would break away to create a 51st state known as South California under a proposal by an elected ofcial. Republican Jeff Stone has asked fellow members of the Riverside County Board of Supervisors to support a motion to bring together ofcials from the 13 counties to discuss the idea.
A vote on the proposed meeting is scheduled for Tuesday. Stone said California is too big to govern, a situation that has led the state to raid local government coffers because of runaway spending. He knows it will be a challenge to create another state but doesnt believe its an impossible task. We are sending a message, Stone told the Los Angeles Times. The effort marks the latest in scores of secession movements in California dating back to the 1850s
that aimed to cleave the state and split counties and cities. Even if leaders from the 13 counties got serious about secession, the U.S. Constitution says no new state can be formed without the consent of Congress and the state legislature. An e-mail message left by The Associated Press for Stones chief of staff, Verne Lauritzen, was not immediately returned. Gil Duran, a spokesman for California Gov. Jerry Brown, said
Stones proposal is a supremely ridiculous waste of everybodys time. If you want to live in a Republican state with very conservative right-wing laws, then theres a place called Arizona, Duran told the newspaper. Stones version of South California would not include Los Angeles County. Instead, it would encompass coastal Orange and San Diego counties, and more sparsely populated, inland areas such as
Fresno, Imperial, Inyo, Kern, Kings, Madera, Mariposa, Mono, Riverside, San Bernardino and Tulare counties. Combined, those counties have about 13 million people. Stone also proposed that South California would have a part-time Legislature with no term limits as well as a newly built capitol building.

Space station gets groceries

By Marica Dunn
Sikhs mistaken targets post 9/11

By Tamara Lush
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. The International Space Station got a years worth of groceries in a giant shopping cart Monday, courtesy of the astronauts on NASAs nal shuttle ight. Astronauts Sandra Magnus and Douglas Hurley used the space stations hulking robot arm to hoist the bus-size container out of Atlantis payload bay and attach it to the orbiting outpost. The canister 21 feet long and 15 feet across is jammed with nearly 5 tons of household goods, enough to keep the 245mile-high station and its inhabitants going for another year. Food alone accounted for more than 1 ton. Clothes also were stuffed inside the Italian-built cylinder, named Raffaello, as well as spare parts for the station. Take care and let us know if we can do anything from down here, Italian astronaut Paolo Nespoli, a former space station resident, radioed from the European Space Agencys control center in Germany. Ciao, buddy, space station astronaut Michael Fossum replied. Speeding ahead of schedule, the astronauts opened the hatch and entered

The six space station residents already received a bag of fresh fruit the shuttle astronauts hand-delivered that immediately after Sundays docking and were promised extra jars of peanut butter. The astronauts got a quadruple dose of good news Monday. Atlantis crew gets an extra day at the space station; the shuttle is in excellent shape; a piece of space junk is no longer a threat; and a critical computer is running normally after being knocked ofine.
Gay marriage raises prospect of adoption boom

NEW YORK First comes love, then comes marriage. Now adoption lawyers and agencies in New York say theyre getting ready for a baby boom as same-sex couples emboldened by the states new gay marriage law take the next step and try to adopt children. New York will allow same-sex marriages beginning July 24, becoming the most populous state to legalize such weddings. Thousands of couples are expected to tie the knot. The state already permits unmarried couples, both gay and straight, to adopt children. But a wedding ring is an important milestone in a relationship and can
also bolster a couples case as they try to impress social workers, adoption agencies and birth mothers during the often competitive adoption process, couples and adoption experts say. Its sort of the next natural progression, said Jonathan Truong of Brooklyn, who decided to adopt a boy after marrying his longtime partner, Ed Cowen, in Canada. You have that feeling of wanting to be in a family. Experts wont know for sure whether adoptions have increased in the ve other states, plus Washington, D.C., that have legalized gay marriage until the results of the 2010 census are released this year, said Gary Gates, a demographer at the Elizabeth Smart said justice had been served.
Williams Institute, a think tank at the University of California-Los Angeles. But nationwide, about 19,000 gay couples had adopted children as of 2009, he said. Thats up from 10,700 couples in 2000 the same year Vermont began offering civil unions and four years before Massachusetts became the rst state to legalize same-sex marriage. I think they will feel more entitled to be a family under the new law, said Susan Watson, director of U.S. adoptions at the Spence-Chapin adoption agency in Manhattan. The prospect has alarmed conservative religious groups that consider same-sex relationships and parenting immoral. large numbers of weapons apparently destined for drug cartels.

Court: Govt must state position on gay troop ban

SAN DIEGO A federal appeals court that has called for the immediate halt of the militarys ban on openly gay troops issued an order Monday requiring the U.S. government to state whether it will continue to defend the policys constitutionality in court. Mondays order comes less than a week after the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco told the Obama administration to immediately cease enforcing the dont ask, dont tell policy, which could speed up its repeal. The ruling stems from a lawsuit led by the Log Cabin Republicans against the Department of Justice.
ELK GROVE Kamaljit Atwals neighborhood seems like an unlikely place for a hate crime. His street in this Sacramento suburb seems a model of diversity. Atwal and his family are one of two Sikh families on the block from India. On Atwals street alone, theres a Vietnamese family, a Mexican family, a black woman and a white man. But in March, Atwals 78-year-old father Gurmej Atwal and his 67-year-old friend Surinder Singh were shot and killed while taking an afternoon stroll in the neighborhood. Atwal and his fellow Sikhs in the area wonder if the same ugliness that has brought violence to other Sikhs is the reason why. The men had long beards and were wearing turbans, both traditional symbols of their religion. Police are investigating whether their killing was a hate crime. Its a complete case of mistaken identity, said Rajdeep Singh of the Washington, D.C.-based Sikh Coalition, which is the largest Sikh civil rights group in the U.S. When people look at me with a turban and beard, the rst thing that comes to mind is, That guy looks like Osama bin Laden. Since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, Sikhs have reported a rise in bias attacks, both verbal and physical, against them. The backlash that hit Muslims across the country has expanded to include them and their faith as well, with some assuming the sight of a long beard and turbaned head can only mean one thing. Kamajit Atwal said life used to be peaceful for him, his wife and their three children since moving to his quiet suburban block in 2003. Crime has gone down for four years in a row, in Elk Grove, where about 54 percent of its 153,000 residents are nonwhite. Atwal keeps a framed photo of his father on the replace mantel, not far from where the retired Indian civil servant once enjoyed his tea. Almost every day, Gurmej Atwal and his friend drank tea together, took a walk and met with other Sikh retirees in a nearby park. My gut is that it was a hate crime, said Atwal. He said that other elderly Sikhs are so afraid of being out in public since the shootings that they no longer socialize in the park. Mayor Steve Detrick said hes not convinced the double shooting is a hate crime because the area has a history of accepting others. Elk Grove is probably one of the most accepting about racial and religious diversity in the country, he said. I think somebody looked at these guys as an easy target. They were gunned down by cowards. Amar Shergill, a Sikh and Sacramento attorney who lives in Elk Grove, said the problem is not Elk Groves. When people including some politicians try to stigmatize all Muslims as antiAmerican, Shergill said, all people who look different are targeted unfairly. When the process becomes radicalized, thats when the disturbed actors take out on Sikhs and Muslims and people who are perceived to be Muslims, he said. Singh said theres just not enough awareness of Sikhism, which is 500 years old and is the worlds fth largest religion with 18 million adherents. The faith, which originated in the Indian region of Punjab, draws from Hinduism and Islamic Susm and the faithful believe in karmic cycles of rebirth, similar to Buddhists and adherents stress that Sikhism is a distinct and separate religion.

OPINION
Medicare fraud
The Post and Courier of Charleston
ouve heard it all before. But that doesnt mean you should dismiss the umpteenth assurance that Washington is on the verge of vastly reducing Medicare fraud. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced that starting July 1 it will use innovative predictive modeling technology to stop unwarranted payments before they are issued. The agency says this breakthrough is based on methods already being used to minimize credit-card fraud in the private sector. Northrop Grumman, a global provider of advanced information solu-
Other voices
tions, was chosen after a competitive procurement process to develop the new program for CMS. That pitch at least sounds like a significant improvement over the long-standing pay and chase method of recovering Medicare funds improperly spent. After all, catching the bad guys before they steal your money beats the heck out of trying to nd them after they purloin it. Yet while reducing fraud is an essential, terribly overdue task, sweeping reform will be needed to save Medicare.
As the payers-to-beneciaries ratio continues to dwindle, even the elimination of all fraud a practical impossibility in the rst place would fall far short of putting the system on a sustainable financial footing. In May, Medicare trustees warned that its hospital insurance fund, under the current format, is bound for bankruptcy by 2024 ve years earlier than the previous projection. And elected ofcials who resist the overdue overhaul Medicare needs are perpetrating a political fraud of potentially catastrophic cost.
Letters to the editor

Thoughts on the Declaration of Independence
Editor, I recently had a chance to reread the Declaration of Independence printed in the July 2-3 edition of the Daily Journal. Several paragraphs struck me with new meaning. Going on to describe the behavior of King George toward the Colonies, the Declaration of Independence reads, He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power (perhaps our Viceroy Paul Bremmer and our military in Iraq generally?) For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States (perhaps Blackwater and friends?) For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world (Blockades?) ... For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trail by Jury (extra judicial killings by drones, as well as the Bin Laden raid?). He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns and destroyed the lives of our people. He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty and Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us A Prince (or arrogant superpower?), whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Any chance any of this might be written by a resident of Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan or Libya today? Aside from all this, I recently learned that all of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were slave owners with the lone exception of Ben Franklin. Pretty interesting stuff. life better for our families. Were getting change, alright. And this change is just what the president wanted. Hes lying about this recovery and his plans to make things better. Are you going to keep believing him? I hope not.

All the presidents lies

Editor, The president tweeted that he didnt realize that the nancial problems were having were as bad as they are. He has been saying, ever since his campaign, that we are in the worst situation since the Great Depression. He has said this so many times we all believe him. Now he says he didnt know it. I think he did. He took the opportunity to create more jobs in the government with the stimulus money taken from those of us paying taxes. He was hoping to fool us into thinking he created those jobs to help get us back on our feet. He didnt stimulate job growth in the private sector, where its needed. Thats why we havent seen a recovery yet. If so many people are working for the government, who is going to pay their salaries? We know thats why he wants to raise our taxes. The president lies to make us think hes working with us to solve the debt crisis but he really wants to change us into a China-like country with everyone working like slaves for the government with no incentive to create new things and make
Republicans have lost touch

Editor, It appears to me that the Republicans are too busy writing legislation about curtailing a womans right to choose, eliminating stem cell research and stalling legislation to allow gays to serve in the military (Where are the jobs? column by Keith Kreitman in the July 9 edition of the Daily Journal). They tell us more tax cuts for the wealthy will improve the economy. Does anyone believe that? The Republicans have lost touch with reality. If our president caves, we may be in for more bad news regarding Social Security and Medicare. Rachel Maddow recently showed a chart of jobs added by large corporations. These corporations were being taxed at the lowest rate in many, many years. The amount of jobs added to the workplace decreased each year. So much for tax breaks for large corporations creating jobs.

ell, thats interesting. Thats a phrase nobody ever really wants to hear during a medical exam. Yet, here was my hygienist saying just that as she looked at X-rays of my choppers and I surreptitiously tried to make sure I hadnt drooled on myself during the radioactive process. Whats interesting? You cant just say that. I had been mostly honest about my flossing a sheepish I try to be better covers a wide variety of failures which is more than I can say about previous visits. I even had given in to prodding to use anti-cavity fluoride rinses. If these efforts didnt deserve her being forthcoming about her interesting observation, I wasnt really sure what did. Oh, you have short roots, she threw out nonchalantly while prepping her array of metal torture instruments and minty toothpaste. And then, nothing. She hummed. I watched the monkey documentary playing on the ceiling-mounted television. I waited for some explanation. She offered up nothing. What does that mean? I finally asked. Were my teeth not planted well into my gum line? Is my faulty flossing leading to the eventual demise of my molars? Was I just one crunchy apple away from a lifetime of Fixodent and dental implants? Most peoples roots are a certain length and some of yours are, too. But see these here in the front? she asked pointing to the black-and-white images. The roots are shorter than average. Then back to the humming and the prepping. Is that bad? I asked, as though discovery that I was below average wasnt jarring enough. Why in the world was it so difficult to get some answers? It shouldnt be like, dare I say, pulling teeth. Yet, for all the smiles and chair-side manner offered by my hygienist, she fell into the same noncommittal pattern Ive found elsewhere in health care. Its as if the practitioners forget that those on which they are practicing might want to be more than just a practice dummy. A few weeks back, a similar situation happened at an annual eye exam or as I like to call it, the fun game of Lets see if my faulty peepers are finally stable enough for laser eye surgery! The optometrist poked, he prodded, he adjusted and looked and blew air into each orb which he claimed is for glaucoma but is more akin to Chinese water torture. Ill be back in a minute, he said, rising to leave the exam room. I have to numb your eyes so you dont feel when I push on them. Um, what? Pushing on an eyeball that doesnt sound normal. You have thick corneas, he pronounced after running some sort of instrument across the eye, sending its vision into a watery ripple pattern. Again, what? Seems the pressure of eyes, based on the aforementioned eye test, indicated either glaucoma or thick corneas and he wanted to make sure it was the latter. Who knew? And why am I just now learning of this? The same with the teeth roots. Its not as if these things just sprung up overnight. For that matter, last year I learned in quick succession that my bite is a mess (thank you again, Mr. Dentist) and my ears are lopsided (great fun for the eye glass technician who couldnt figure out why my a pair wouldnt sit evenly on my nose). So lets see ears that need a V-8, corneas in need of a weight loss plan and teeth with a dual diagnosis. Its amazing Ive been able to function, walking around all these years unwittingly harboring a multitude of handicaps. I could have qualified for a parking placard long ago, had anybody bothered to tell me. At least the corneas, Im told, only make me a better candidate for surgery if my vision ever stops degenerating. And the roots? Another good reason to floss better and more often, my hygienist said. Oh, and she had another piece of advice to the short root-afflicted. Just dont get hit in the mouth. Lucky for me, the only blow Ive gotten recently is to my sense of well-being.

fell sharply on European exchanges. Some investors believe several of Italy and Spains nancial institutions might not pass an upcoming stress-test for European banks. What the European Union is trying to do is keep the problem contained at a sovereign level and not have the infection spread to the banking system, said Jack Ablin, chief investment ofcer at Harris Private Bank. To see a bank drop that much that fast suggests there may be a breach. That has led to fears in Europe and elsewhere that the aid from international lenders may not be enough to stop a broad deterioration of the European economy. The S&P fell broadly, led by nancial companies. Financial stocks in the index fell 2.8 percent as bank stocks sank. Investment manager Janus Capital Group fared worst, falling 6.8 percent to $9.16. Citigroup Inc. led banks down, declining 5.3 percent to $39.79. If Europes debt crisis continues to spread, bank lending could seize up. Banks are also expected to report weak earnings beginning later this week. Of the 500 companies in the S&P index, 492 fell.

NEW YORK July doesnt look so promising anymore.

Whats more, a widespread nancial crisis could cause a credit crunch in Europe and elsewhere. The concerns sent stocks down.

Chesapeake to spend $1B on natural gas technology

By Jonathan Fahey
NEW YORK Now that Chesapeake Energy has helped create a glut of natural gas in the U.S., it needs to get the country to use more of it. Chesapeake, the second largest producer of natural gas in the U.S., announced Monday that it plans to invest $1 billion over 10 years in technologies designed to spur demand for the fuel. Its rst two investments will build natural gas fueling stations along the nations highways and develop a technology that will use natural gas and plant material to make diesel and gasoline. We want to be as innovative with our demand initiative as we have been with our supply initiatives, said Chesapeake CEO Aubrey McClendon in an interview Monday. U.S. natural gas supplies have grown dramatically in recent years as drillers such as Chesapeake have learned to tap huge
elds of natural gas trapped in shale formations deep under several states. That has driven natural gas prices lower and prompted big users like utilities and chemical companies to use more of it. Natural gas demand has risen to record levels, but supplies and reserves are growing so fast that natural gas prices and driller prots have stayed low. Weve overwhelmed the traditional demand categories, McClendon said. Through much of the last decade, monthly average natural gas prices hovered above $6 per thousand cubic feet and rose above $10 on several occasions. Over the last 29 months, though, monthly prices have averaged closer to $4 and rose above $5 just three times. Prices closed Monday at $4.28 per thousand cubic feet, up 7 cents from Friday. Chesapeake will create a fund called Chesapeake NG Ventures Corporation that will function like a venture capital fund, providing seed money to new companies or technologies designed to spur new uses
for natural gas. McClendon says he will direct 1 percent to 2 percent of the companys annual drilling budget to stimulate demand for gas, instead of creating more natural gas supply. If successful, that could drive natural gas prices higher, and boost Chesapeakes bottom line. If natural gas prices average $6 per thousand cubic feet instead of $4 in 2012, Chesapeake projects it would earn an extra $900 million in net income, an increase of 52 percent. Chesapeake calls itself Americas Champion of Natural Gas but low gas prices are forcing the company to reduce its investment in new natural gas wells in favor of oil wells. In a recent presentation to investors, the company laid out plans to reduce drilling of natural gas wells except those that must be drilled in order to keep the leases it holds. By next year, only 25 percent of the companys capital expenses will go to natural gas drilling, the rest to more protable oil drilling.
Clear Channel revamps iheart app

By Ryan Nakashima
LOS ANGELES Radio station giant Clear Channel Communications Inc. is taking a swipe at online music service Pandora with a revamp of its iheartradio application that imitates Pandoras personalized listening experience but doesnt mimic the startups need to turn a prot. The operator of over 850 radio stations nationwide is kicking off the new service with a star-studded two-day concert in Las Vegas on Sept. 23 and 24 featuring acts including Lady Gaga, Coldplay, Black Eyed Peas and Jennifer Lopez. Bob Pittman, chairman of media and entertainment platforms for Clear Channel Communications Inc., said the success of Pandora Media Inc. proves that people like being able to stream songs according to their personal tastes on mobile devices.
Pittman said iheartradio will adopt that feature in a gradual relaunch over the coming months. Pandora went public with an initial offering of shares last month but its stock price has seen-sawed as euphoria among Internet investors gave way to the reality that its ad revenue has not grown fast enough to cover the royalties that it pays to play music. Pandoras stock closed at $19.27 on Friday, about 19 percent above its initial public offering price. Pittman said Clear Channel, a privately held company that had $5.9 billion in revenue last year, doesnt need to turn a prot if its new service helps reach audiences in different ways. To us it doesnt matter if it ever succeeds as a business, Pittman said in an interview. We only have to have it succeed as a feature. Pandora has said it has about 94 million
registered users and more than 30 million listeners a month. Pittman said Clear Channel isnt far behind, with about 27 million monthly online visitors, although that gure includes visitors of radio station websites and those who listen to the iheartradio application. Clear Channel reaches 237 million listeners over traditional radio airwaves every month. Iheartradio allows listeners to hear the feeds of stations outside their market and to certain channels that stream music along specic genres. Clear Channel acquired streaming music company Thumbplay in March, and used its technology as the basis for the new customized radio feature. Pittman said that the new iheartradio app will have access to 10 million tracks, millions more than Pandora, and run without ads for the rest of the year. The company is also offering freebie concert packages to listeners to build buzz around the relaunch.

Stanfords Luck looks forward without regret

By Brett Martel
THIBODAUX, La. Andrew Luck still has no regrets. I was happy with my decision, Luck said, reflecting on his announcement last winter that he would delay his NFL career and play one more season at Stanford. Im still happy. Luck has had several months to let the consequences of his choice sink in to think about the millions of dollars he could have earned this
year, to wonder whether he should have taken Stanfords head coaching change as a sign that he, too, should move on, and to consider Andrew Luck whether the possibility of injury presented undue risks to his earning potential. Those questions still come up regularly from people Luck meets, and
he smiles patiently before answering with a calm sense of certitude. Im obviously aware of it, but hopefully I can be successful, monetarily, playing football regardless, Luck said while working as a counselor at the Manning Passing Academy in south Louisiana during the past weekend. I dont think my lifestyle will require whatever amount of money, not to say that wouldnt be good to have. I think we all know that. This year was Lucks secondstraight at the Manning camp, where
he has gotten to know Peyton Manning, a prime example of a current pro who chose to stay in school over entering the NFL draft early, and who went on to an extraordinary career with the Indianapolis Colts. Every kids got to make their own decision, but I do tell kids that if you want to stay ... its OK to stay. I stayed, Manning said. So I was proud of Andrew for making that decision. Its great for college football, Manning continued. It speaks a lot about his school, about his passion
for college football. I hope he has a great year this year, stays healthy. When the time comes, hell be an excellent NFL quarterback for a long time. Luck called Manning last winter before announcing that hed remain in school, but noted that he had already made his decision and only wanted advice on how Manning handled his senior season at Tennessee. He said it worked for him, Luck recalled. And I was happy with it

Belmont Title drought ends leaves no Pacifica American wins first District 52 banner since 1983 question

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
After 28 years, the championship drought is ofcially over. For the rst time since 1983, the Pacica American 10-11 All-Stars are District 52 champions thanks to the stellar arms of Sean Snead and re baller Danny Mack, who combined to shut out the Foster City All-Stars 2-0. Snead went 3 2/3 innings and Mack sealed the deal the rest of the way. It was a 114-pitch performance that was more like 114 drops of rain for a town thirsty for a winner. Its unbelievable, said Pacica head coach Ryan Gordon, These guys (Foster City) put it to us last night, beat us very soundly. We didnt have our number one guy going today but Sean and Danny, I mean, this is probably the best offensive team in the tournament and for Sean and Danny to put up six shutout innings is unbelievable. Im amazed, Mack said, Its so fun winning a championship 28 years, thats a long time. Its a long time to wait for sure, but Pacica saved their best pitching performance for last. Coming into yesterdays ball game, the Foster City offense was averaging nearly eight runs a game. The only time the entire tournament that they scored less than six in a game was against this same Pacica team in game two, and it was Snead who was on the mound for that occasion too. Me and my coaches were going back and forth on who we wanted to pitch tonight and we said Sean. Seans got guts. The one thing is, we knew that no matter what happened, Sean wasnt going to back down, Sean was going to keep going out, keep throwing hard, Gordon said.
JULIO LARA / DAILY JOURNAL
Just when red-hot Belmont was proving invincible, the wheels looked like they might come off. Thats when Belmont starting pitcher Sean Lee buckled down to save the day. After his heroics at the plate in last Thursdays seminal, Lee pitched Belmont to the District 52 9-10 championship yesterday at San Mateo National eld. Belmont rolled to an 11-4 victory over San Mateo National to win the rst district crown for any Belmont team in 11 years. Its a great day for Belmont, Belmont manager Rudy Lopez said. Belmont does not have a lot of baseball tradition. So this is big. Belmont has gone big throughout the summer, posting a 17-2 record this year in four tournament wins, including an undefeated 5-0 run through district play. In yesterdays championship game, Belmont came out swinging like champions, jumping out to a three-run lead in the rst inning. San Mateo National answered back in the bottom of the second though, plating three to tie it. Five consecutive San Mateo National batters reached base to start the inning, including two who reached on errors. Lee, though, showed why the Belmont pitching staff has drawn praise throughout district play. The right-hander proceeded to set down eight of the next 11 batters he faced, and struck out seven overall in 3 2/3 innings to earn the win, upping his tourney record to 2-0. Hes a bulldog, Lopez said. He keeps battling and hes just a great competitor. Meanwhile, the Belmont offense took

YankeesCano wins Home Run Derby in Arizona

By Ronald Blum
PHOENIX Robinson Cano outslugged Adrian Gonzalez to win the All-Star Home Run Derby that turned into a Yankees-Red Sox showdown, even through his Boston rival made the biggest splash at Chase Field. Batting last and being pitched to by his father, Cano defeated
Gonzalez 12-11 in the finals Monday night after they each hit 20 home runs through two rounds. Again highlighting the danRobinson Cano gers of trying to catch a ball at a big league ballpark, a fan standing on
a table above the pool deck, Keith Carmickle of suburban Kingman, fell over trying to catch a Prince Fielder homer. The fan was grabbed by his brother before going all the way over, where he could have fallen about 20 feet, and was dangling by his feet when he was pulled back up. I stepped up on the table, I missed the ball by 2 or 3 feet and went over, he said. We caught three balls and I told the guys I was going to go for
the cycle. Dude, they were really holding onto me. Last week, a 39-year-old fan, Shannon Stone, died while trying to catch a ball thrown into the stands at a Rangers game in Arlington, Texas. Carmickles brother grabbed his arms and Aaron Nelson of Chandler held his legs. He wasnt going down, I was holding on, Nelson said. Carmickle said he wasnt worried
while he was dangling. I bench-press 500 pounds and I wasnt going down, he said. Gonzalez hit a ball that wound up in the swimming pool in right eld along with Mike Moon, a 26year-old fan who caught the ball before falling into the water, where he was surrounded by bikini-clad women.

In a sports market with its fair share of sports heroes, there probably isnt an athlete whose stock is rising faster than San Jose Earthquakes forward Chris Wondolowski. In the last 12 months, the Danville native has won the Major League Soccer Golden Boot as the leagues leading goal scorer, carried the Quakes deep into the playoffs, nished second in the Most Valuable Player voting, received a call-up to the United States Mens National Team and started a game for the U.S. And now, for the rst time in his seven-year MLS career, Wondolowski is an All-Star. MLS announced the First XI Sunday for the 2011 AT&T All-Star Game July 27 at Red Bull Arena in New York. The MLS All-Stars will take on English Premiere League champion Manchester United in the exhibition. Itll be the rst All-Star appearance for Wondolowski, who was chosen in a fan vote. I dont think its fully sunk in yet, Wondolowski said. Its truly an honor to be named to that team with all those great players and I just want to thank the fans for voting because thats what got me there. It kind of been a whole whirlwind this last day or so and I dont think its fully sunk in yet. Wondolowski leads the Earthquakes in goals with six (two of the game-winning variety) in 14 games, which is also good for a seventh-place tie in MLS. Its this consistent scoring touch, one that has seemingly come out of nowhere in the last year, that has attracted the attention of the national soccer scene and the admiration of San Jose fans. Its a conrmation of doing well last year and just trying to continue that, Wondolowski said of his selection. With our team winning,

San Jose striker Chris Wondolowski,who won the MLS Golden Boot for most goals scored, was named to the MLS All-Star via a fan vote.
I think it helps get my name out there so a lot of credit goes to my teammates. The MLS First XI received the most votes at their respective positions from combined fan voting on three platforms: online, via text message and via Twitter. The online- and textvoting ballot consisted of six players from each club, as chosen by a panel of media
members. It appears that San Jose fans came out in full force in support of Wondo. I wouldnt call it the biggest fan base, he said. But they are some of the most dedicated, loyal and most knowledgeable fans. Theres a huge group of them. Theyre there every game and they support us. Its just a pleasure to play in front of them. They really keep us going. Wondolowskis selection comes after seven seasons in MLS. After starting his career with San Jose, he spend time with the Houston Dynamo. In his rst ve season in the league, Wondolowski scored a combined seven goals. In his rst full season back with San Jose, Wondolowski exploded onto the scene, scoring 18 goals in the regular season and once in the playoffs. I think the difference has been executing, Wondolowski said. And being in the right places scoring goals in big moments and at the right time. I feel if you score goals when the game is out of hand they dont mean as much, but if you score game-winners and your team is winning and theyre important goals, I feel thats what can elevate your game. Wondolowski will join goalkeeper Kasey Keller (Seattle Sounder FC), defenders Sean Franklin (LA Galaxy), Omar Gonzalez (Galaxy), Rafa Marquez and Tim Ream (New York Red Bulls); midelders David Beckham (Galaxy), Jack Jewsbury (Portland Timbers) and Brek Shea (FC Dallas); and forwards Landon Donovan (Galaxy) and Thierry Henry (Red Bulls). Im just looking forward to everything, Wondolowski said. I just want to soak it all in and really enjoy being a part of that. Just to be out there on the same eld as Manchester United, play against some of the guys growing up I watched and wish I could play against, just some of the best, thats a big one for me.

Halladay,Weaver to start All-Star Game

By John Marshall
PHOENIX Pitching has again become the dominant force in baseball over the past couple of years, the hitters not standing much of a chance against all those arms. With so many good pitchers out there, the managers for Tuesdays All-Star game almost couldnt go wrong. They certainly wont get many complaints for choosing Philadelphia Phillies ace of aces Roy Halladay and Los Angeles Angels star Jered Weaver. In an All-Star game missing some of its luster, these two reluctant, go-about-their-business studs seem like a perfect t. When you talk about the great pitchers in our game today, the elite pitchers, or a pitcher that you would want to start in a game that you would have to win, Roys name is always at the top of the list with just the incredible career that hes had, said San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy, skipper of the NL team. Hes doing it again this year. This was really an easy one for me that he would start this game. Picking Weaver wasnt exactly a tough decision for AL manager Ron Washington. The lanky right-hander is having a superb season with an 11-4 record and a majors-best 1.86 ERA, but also had some of his competition for the starting nod get knocked out of the picture.
Major League Baseball doesnt allow pitchers who started on Sunday to participate in the Midsummer Classic, which meant Detroits Justin Verlander, Seattles Felix Hernandez, Tampa Bays James Shields and the Yankees Roy Halladay CC Sabathia were ineligible. Still, the numbers Weaver has put up would have made him a strong candidate regardless of who the competition was. The 29-year-old was an All-Star last season and has been even better this year, posting the lowest ERA ever by an Angels starter before the break. Weaver has lasted at least seven innings during a nine-game stretch without a loss while winning ve straight and has thrown four of his eight career complete games this season to become the rst Angels pitcher to start an All-Star game since Mark Langston in 1993. Ive never competed against a more competitive pitcher and a pitcher that will do anything it takes to make sure that he keeps his team in the ballgame, AL and Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington said. Weaver is making his second appearance, but Halladay, one of the best pitchers of a generation, has made a habit of playing in the Midsummer Classic. A two-time Cy Young Award winner,
Halladay has made the All-Star team eight of the past nine years and will join Vida Blue, Roger Clemens and Randy Johnson as the only pitchers to start the game for both leagues after doing it with Toronto in 2009. Even on a Phillies staff Jered Weaver that includes Cliff Lee, Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels, Halladay has established himself as The Man, a dominating pitcher with no-hitter-in-the-waiting stuff. The 34-year-old threw the second no-hitter in postseason history with Don Larsen in his first career playoff game against Cincinnati in last seasons NL division series and has been nearly as dominant the rst half of this season. Halladay is 11-3 this season with a 2.45 ERA and 138 strikeouts, second-best in the NL. He became the rst pitcher since 1991 to open a game with 18 strikes against the Mets on April 30, a start after matching his career high with 14 strikeouts against San Diego. Youve got to be good, youve got to be having a good season and hes the best in the game, so if anybodys deserving of that (starting), its him, said Lee, who joined Halladay on the NL team. Theres a few guys that were worthy of that spot, but I think Halladay is the best pitcher in baseball and I think 99 percent of the people in here would agree with that. Its an honor for him and I expect him to give
us a chance to win. This years All-Star game lost some of its star power when 16 players backed out, including Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, Ryan Braun and Jose Reyes, just to name a few. One of the biggest names in baseball, Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols, also didnt get in because of a broken wrist. Theres still plenty of stars left, from the NLs Prince Fielder and Matt Holliday to Josh Hamilton and Adrian Gonzalez for the AL, but the game has a little less shine than it once did. Halladay and Weaver wont treat it any different. Halladay has the perfect build 6-foot-6, 230 pounds to be a dominating pitcher and an ultra-competitive drive to make himself one of the best pitchers in the game. Weaver has plenty of leverage, too, along with hard-to-gure delivery and a simmering intensity behind that surfer-dude image of his. On the worldwide stage of the All-Star game, neither one is about to ease up, whether theyre facing A-Rod or the 16th replacement player on the roster. Obviously, (were) having some success as far as pitching goes, but you never know what youre going to run into on any given night in a given lineup, so you cant take anything for granted, Weaver said. Bochy and Washington certainly didnt take anything for granted by picking these two.

Continued from page 11
I saw the ball, I didnt want to spill my beer and I didnt spill my beer, he said. I dont really remember what happened. I think I leaned forward, caught the ball, then fell like that (leaning backward). It was pretty cool. With commercial breaks and other interruptions, the derby has become a three-hour affair thats so slow a regular-season game seems like an Olympic downhill ski race. Before a crowd of 44,820 on the night before the All-Star game, Major League Baseball said Cano set a nal-round record. His father, Jose, appeared in six games for the Houston Astros in 1989. Matt Thomas of Peoria, Ariz., caught Matt Hollidays second gold ball, hit deep into the left-eld lower deck. The ball, with one panel infused with 24-carat gold leather, has a retail value of $149.99. Players were thrown gold balls when they had one out left. It just came right at me, and I reached up and grabbed, I played a little trick like I didnt have it, he said, making a tucking motion with his glove, then went, oh, here it is. Its pretty cool. Gonzalez and Cano were the most impressive hitters throughout, and they eliminated defending champion David Ortiz of the Red
Sox and Milwaukees Fielder (nine apiece) in the second round. St. Louis Holliday (ve), Torontos Jose Bautista (four), Milwaukees Rickie Weeks (three) and the Dodgers Matt Kemp (two) didnt get past the opening round. Weeks was booed by fans, upset he was picked for the derby over Arizonas Justin Upton. Chants for Upton resumed when he made nine straight outs. He then hit two gold balls into the seats in left, including one into the second deck. Fielder, who chose his derby teammates, was greeted with the loudest boos. He wound up in a tiebreaker to advance from the rst round and went 5 for 5, including a 455-foot drive off the ballparks back wall. He had the longest drive of the night at 474 feet and also hit a ball onto the pool deck area. Fielder hit a drive over the right-eld pool, off a Diamond Club sign, that bounded off a fans head and sent a beer ying. When Ortiz was down to his last out, stadium announcer Daron Sutton son of Hall of Fame pitcher Don Sutton urged him on by shouting, Just picture Kevin Gregg on the mound, referring to last weeks ght between the two. Ortiz, the defending champion, also advanced with the tiebreaker, eliminating Holliday. For each homer with a gold ball, Major League Baseball and State Farm Insurance combined to donate $18,000 to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. State Farm contributed $603,000 to charities as a result of the derby.

Contador and Schleck waiting for Pyrenees

By Jerome Pugmire
THIEZAC, France Defending champion Alberto Contador and main rival Andy Schleck have yet to properly test each other in this years Tour de France they have been too busy avoiding serious injury in nine days of manic racing, which came to a temporary halt with Mondays rest day. Although Contador has already crashed twice, the Spaniard was somewhat lucky to escape with just a bruised right knee, given that several other riders had to drop out with more serious injuries. They include Kazakh star Alexandre Vinokourov (broken thighbone) and Britains Bradley Wiggins (broken collarbone). Also, Alexandr Kolobnev of Russia became the rst cyclist at this years Tour de France to fail a doping test, the International Cycling Union said. Kolobnev was in 69th place heading into Tuesdays 10th stage, but his Katusha team
issued a statement saying he is out of the Tour after deciding to suspend himself according to UCI rules. The UCI said a urine sample collected from Alberto Kolobnev last Contador Wednesday tested positive for a substance called Hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic that can also be used as a masking agent hiding the presence of other drugs. It came on the Tours fth stage a flat sprint from Carhaix to Cap Frehel. Schleck, the Tour runner-up to Contador the past two years, is grateful to have enjoyed more luck than his rivals in avoiding injury. Contador crashed early in Sundays ninth stage in which Vinokourov was later hurt and banged the same knee he hurt falling in Stage 5. Vinokourovs Astana team said on Monday he had surgery for his
injury on Sunday night in Paris. Its sad to see to what degree luck has inuenced the course of the race, Schleck said Monday. You can avoid crashes to a certain extent, by staying at the front of the bunch and being very aware of possible dangers. But no race strategy could account for the fact a Tour car knocked Spanish rider Juan Antonio Flecha into Dutchman Johnny Hoogerland on Sunday. I was bleeding everywhere, Flecha said Monday. I saw Johnny laying there, and I said Wow. Said Schleck: Its really out of your hands. We feel very fortunate that none of our team members was involved in a big crash. With Contadors sore knee still bothering him, Schleck will gauge the three-time champions true tness in the Pyrenees climbs starting Thursday. Schleck is in the drivers seat as Contador needs to make up time, a role reversal from last year when Contador beat Schleck by 39 seconds to win his third Tour. Contador lost valuable time on the
first day this year, when he was stuck behind a crash that split the peloton while Schleck stayed ahead of it. Like the toss a coin, Andy Schleck of Schleck got the good call that day. He is 1 minute, 30 seconds ahead of Contador in the overall standings, and 11 seconds behind two-time Tour runner-up Cadel Evans of Australia, the other main contender. So far, so good. The team has been great, keeping me out of trouble, and if it could continue like this I would be very, very happy, Evans said. After Mondays rest day, there are two at stages for sprinters before riders enter the Pyrenees in Stage 12, with its colossal climb up Col du Tourmalet one of the Tours most famed and feared ascents. That stage is so demanding it could decimate the eld.
Frenchman Thomas Voeckler leads the race after taking the yellow jersey from Thor Hushovd, while Spaniard Luis Leon Sanchez, who won Stage 9, is second overall. But neither is a Tour contender and both should soon wilt. Thursdays stage from Cugnaux to Luz-Ardiden lasts 131.1 miles and ends with a mammoth climb up Luz-Ardiden. Like the Tourmalet, Luz-Ardiden is so tough it is known as an HC or Hors Categorie climb, meaning it is even harder than a category 1 climb and is therefore beyond classication. The pain does not stop there. Fridays 13th stage from Pau to Lourdes features an HC trek up Col dAubisque, followed by a hair-raising 24.8-mile descent to the line. Saturdays 14th stage starts from Saint-Gaudens and is harder than the previous two an intense day featuring two nasty category 1 ascents up Col de la Core and Col dAgnes, and nishing with a long HC climb up to Plateau de Beille.
DA in Vegas eyeing Pacmancase after Ohio arrest

By Ken Ritter
LAS VEGAS NFL football player Adam Pacman Jones might face up to a year in jail in Nevada for violating a probation stay-outof-trouble order following his weekend arrest in Cincinnati, the top prosecutor in Las Vegas said Monday. Clark County District Attorney David Roger said that before he takes the case to a Nevada judge, hell review police accounts of the arrest of the 27-year-old Cincinnati Bengals cornerback on resisting arrest and misdemeanor disorderly conduct charges at an Ohio bar. Jones was sentenced to one year of probation in February for his role in a 2007 Las Vegas strip club melee that left three people shot. One of the conditions of his pro-
bation was that he stay out of trouble, Roger told the Associated Press. We havent seen the reports yet. Jones lawyer Adam Jones in Las Vegas, R o b e r t Langford, told AP that based on his clients account of the arrest, charges in Ohio may have to be dropped. Langford declined to provide specics. Based on the facts Ive heard, it will resolve in our favor, he said. The case adds to a list of off-eld troubles for Jones, the 2005 rst-round draft pick of the Tennessee Titans. Hes been arrested at least six other times over the years, and has been involved in about a dozen situations
that included police intervention. He was suspended by the league for the entire 2007 season and six games in 2008 following off-eld incidents. He sat out the 2009 season before signing a two-year deal in May 2010 to play for Cincinnati. Authorities in Cincinnati reported Jones tried to pull away from police after he was accused of shouting profanities in a Cincinnati bar. Jones denied the allegations after leaving jail. He told WCPO-TV in that he hadnt been drinking and was out with his wife to celebrate her birthday. I was not yelling at the police. I did not yell profanity at the police, he said. Jones, who was wearing a neck brace, said he had been recovering from a neck injury that required surgery but was expecting to play this year.
A Bengals spokesman said the team had no comment on the most recent arrest. The team is prohibited from having contact with Jones because of the NFL lockout. Roger is the Nevada prosecutor who gained a 2008 jury conviction of pro football hall of famer O.J. Simpson in a 2007 armed robbery and kidnapping case. Simpson is now serving nine to 33 years in a Nevada prison. Roger said it could be several weeks before he receives and reviews the Cincinnati police reports on Jones arrest and decides whether to take the case to a Clark County District Court judge. Were in a holding pattern until then, he said. Jones pleaded no contest in December 2007 in Las Vegas to conspiracy to commit disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor, after
agreeing to testify against the accused shooter in the strip club melee during NBA All-Star Weekend. Authorities had blamed Jones for instigating the fracas by showering strippers with hundreds of $1 bills. The shootings occurred minutes after Jones and his entourage were ejected from the club. A bouncer, Tommy Urbanski, was left paralyzed from the waist down. The shooter, Arvin Kenti Edwards, 32, of Renton, Wash., has pleaded an equivalent of no contest to attempted murder with a deadly weapon. He is being held at the Clark County jail pending sentencing July 21. A co-defendant with Jones, Robert Reid, 31, pleaded no contest to misdemeanor conspiracy to commit disorderly conduct. He is free pending sentencing Aug. 25.

Duhamel lost roughly half his chips over the rst 4 hours of play and didnt last long after his next 20minute break. The Canadian poker professional gambled his last chips with a suited ace-deuce and was called by an opponent with an ace-king. The community cards gave his opponent an unnecessary straight, and Duhamel was eliminated. No repeat for me but thanks to all for a great year, Duhamel said on Twitter. Duhamel won $8.9 million last year after beating 7,318 opponents in the no-limit Texas Hold em tournament.

On the play, a bobble in the outeld turned what might have been a close by the plate to an easy Mack score and just like that, Pacica was up 1-0. Up the one run, Snead went to work. In the rst, he struck out the side. He added another K in the second and two more in the third; his strikeout of Monozon in that inning came with two outs and a pair of runners in scoring position. Their pitchers pitched really, really well, said Foster City head coach Steve Sutter. We just didnt hit the ball. Their pitchers did the job. I mentioned yesterday, we were on re with the bats all week and today we nally cooled off. Pacica doubled its lead in the top of the fourth. Once again, an error was the catalyst.

After a ne play at third by Kevin Jacobs, Brett Karalius came up huge for Pacica, slapStern but limber, the 10-year old caught every game for his Belmont Majors team the White Sox this season, after transitioning to the position last year. It was the coach of his Triple-A Padres team, Chris Freire, who asked him to move behind the plate. I tried it and loved it, so I just kept doing it, Marcelo said. Belmont got on the board with three runs in the bottom the rst. Ryan Anderson singled to spark the rally. After a walk to Lee and a single by Dominic Susa, Brad Shimabuku got Belmont on the board with a sacrice y to right eld to score Anderson. Lee then scored on a double steal, before Evan Jones singled home Susa to give Belmont a 3-0 lead. In the top of the second, San Mateo Nationals cleanup hitter Ben Kurr singled through the wickets of an inelder, followed by a walk to Michael Athancio. Omar Barraza laced a RBI single to center to plate Kurr, then the future having to go back, he said. As for the coaching change, Luck described a smooth transition in which the man who recruited him to Stanford, former offensive coordinator David Shaw, was elevated to the top job after Jim Harbaughs departure for the NFLs San Francisco 49ers. Shaw has retained the same terminology and the same pass-oriented West Coast scheme. Former NFL coach and current TV football analyst Jon Gruden, who also spent last weekend at the Mannings camp at Nicholls State, said Luck is the best NFL quarterback prospect he has studied, but understood why Luck chose to play one more year at a Stanford program hed led back to national prominence. ping a two-strike offering down the left eld line past the dive of the third baseman to plate Snead. Monozon would get out of the inning by starting a nifty 1-6-3 double play, but the damage had been done. All his strikeouts did drive Sneads pitch count high and, after a couple of ground balls out to start the fourth, he was pulled after 76 pitches, giving way to Mack. Danny can be inconsistent at times, Gordon said, but man, he just threw great, he was throwing BBs out there. I felt condent, Mack said, I felt we were going to win it, I knew I was going to pitch great. That he did Mack was near perfect, facing the minimum in 2 1/3 innings, he allowed a walk in the bottom of the sixth after a long y ball out by Ryan Sutter.

In the bottom of the fourth, Marcelo and Anderson smacked back-to-back singles, and Marcelo came around to score on an error. Lee lifted a sacrice y to score Anderson, giving Belmont a 9-3 lead. In the bottom of the fth, Lopez led off with a double and later scored when Daylin McLemore reached on an error. Marcelo grounded out to drive home McLemore to cap Belmonts scoring.

Those are experiences that ... you just cant create very often. Luck set school records for TD passes (32), completion percentage (70.7 percent) and passing efciency (170.2) last season, when the Cardinal won the Orange Bowl. Stanford finished fourth in the final AP poll, the schools best ranking since the unbeaten 1940 team nished second.

Six games in row, 7-2 in the tournament if we went into this knowing we would win seven games, we would have taken that to start off with, Sutter said. It was a great battle today. It wasnt like we gave up anything easy. You have to give credit to their pitcher the 10-year-old came in and threw 76 great pitches.

That included coach John Gilmore, who wasnt physically in attendance but posed for team pictures via a MacBook and a webcam.

Not just the community, but it looked like the weather was Pacican as well cloudy and with (championship) rain clouds looming above. gle by Jeremy Villar. Fittingly, Belmont shortstop Dominic Susa notched the nal putout of the game, nabbing a line drive off the bat of Kurr to end it. Susa is one of the Belmont big three pitching staff, who closed out last weeks seminal win. Belmont left-hander Nic Lopez closed it out yesterday, emerging in relief to strike out four over 2 1/3 innings. This is one of the best 10-year-old teams Ive seen, San Mateo National manager David Villar said. They really are. Their depth of pitching is outstanding. Villar also tipped his cap to a Belmont offense which made loud contact throughout the game, and saw every starter reach base. They were offensively the best team in this tournament, and they showed it, Villar said. They played like they were the best. Luck said he wont place much emphasis on individual awards, and noted that a number of new Heisman candidates are bound to emerge this season. Luck said hell focus on being the leader hes expected to be by demanding hard work and accountability from both himself and his teammates, and he will try to keep the Cardinal focused on the task at avoid becoming distracted by the Bowl Championship Series picture.

I was nervous at rst, Snead said, but I felt good after. Sneads performance came a week after he pitched an identical 3 2/3 innings of goose-egg baseball against Foster City. Gordon had a premonition that the lefty would give Foster City trouble again. And he was absolutely right. Lost in the Pacica celebration was an equally impressive performance by Foster City starter Dominic Monozon. The big right hander went the distance for the black and teal, surrendering two unearned runs in the loss. A couple of plays here and there and the decision could have easily gone the other way. Im disappointed, Monozon said, but to get as far as we did, its bittersweet. Foster City got behind early when Pacica capitalized on an error to start the game. Mack

Got my pitch right down the middle, a little low, and I just swung (hard) and we scored a run. Marcelo has been a standout at the top of the Belmont order.

they cut away a small bit of damaged skin to analyze all the biochemical changes inside and found a protein thats responsible for triggering the cascade of pain and redness. The protein summons inammation-causing immune cells to the damaged spot as sunburned skin cells die off. Its activity increased more than did other pain-related chemicals as the sunburn worsened, the researchers reported last week the journal Science Translational Medicine. It took further experiments with rats to show the molecule, named CXCL5, was a key culprit. Most intriguing, injecting rats sunburned feet with a substance that tamped down the protein also tamped down the pain, a nding that might lead to new medications. The researchers will next study whether the protein plays a role in more long-lasting types of pain. What about todays sunburns? About a third of adults get one each year, and two-thirds of them have more than one, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Thats a bigger problem than pain - sunburns are believed to increase risk of the most serious type of skin cancer, melanoma. There arent good gures on how often children get sunburned, but their tender skin can burn especially easily. While water and sand reect UV rays to increase exposure, its not just the beachgoer whos at risk. A sunburn can sneak up on anyone, from the kids playing T-ball and their watching families to the afternoon gardener. First-degree sunburns tend to peel in a few days. But more severe second-degree burns those who ate about the same amount of both nutrients. Sodium increases the risk of high blood pressure, a major cause of heart disease and stroke. One of the researchers says potassium may neutralize the heart-damaging effects of salt. Many foods have potassium. Good sources are spinach, bananas, broccoli and prunes. The study was led by researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It was published in Mondays Archives of Internal Medicine.

Science seeks ways to take sting out of sunburn

By Lauran Neergaard
WASHINGTON If youve hit the beach, chances are youve experienced an unfortunate rite of summer: The sunburn. Skin so swollen it hurts to bend. The heat that rises from reddened shoulders. The ow, ow, ow from the shower after you'd thought the pain had faded. For all the creams that promise to soothe, there arent super treatments for a sunburn. Dermatologists say the best bet: Some of the same pills you pop for a headache like the ibuprofen found in Motrin and Advil, or naproxen brands such as Aleve. If that sounds too simple, well, scientists don't know exactly what causes this kind of touch-sensitive pain. But research is getting them closer to some answers. British scientists found a clue in some healthy people who volunteered to be sunburned for science. Dont worry they controlled the beams of ultraviolet light so that only a small patch of the volunteers arms got a medium burn, just enough for a unique kind of testing. One reason sunburns are so common is that by the time you see pink and head indoors, more damage already is brewing. Unlike an immediate burn from, say, touching a hot stove, a sunburns pain is delayed as the red darkens over the next 24 to 48 hours. Researchers from Kings College London tracked how their volunteers sunburned skin became more sensitive. At the peak of pain,
Sunburn pain can be treated with simple, over-the-counter pain relievers. Scientists are trying to nd out why the skin remains so sensitive to touch.
can blister and even require a doctors care, especially if they cover large areas or come with fever and chills, says Dr. Roger Ceilley of the American Academy of Dermatology and the University of Iowa. A bad burn hinders how well your body cools itself, so its important to cool down and keep hydrated. To self-treat the pain, take ibuprofen or similar over-the-counter painkillers known as NSAIDs within a few hours of reddening skin, Ceilley advises. Those pills fight various kinds of inammation. While they may not directly block the pain-causing protein the
British researchers discovered, they do act on related pain chemicals, he notes. But dont use those pills before going in the sun; theyre among a host of medicines that can make your skin more sun-sensitive. Cool compresses can soothe, and some patients nd relief from aloe. But you dont want to put a lot of heavy ointments on, Ceilley cautions. They can trap in heat. At Wake Forest University, dermatology professor Dr. Steven Feldman also advises anesthetic sprays to numb the area, and for more serious burns a hydrocortisone cream. But more important, Dont get a sunburn, Feldman stresses. The advice: Stay out of direct sun when its most intense, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. When you are out, wear sun-protective clothing and seek shade such as beach umbrellas. Feldman likes to tell of the dermatologists convention in Hawaii where beachgoers wore long-sleeved swim cover-ups and big hats. Dont forget the sunscreen, especially on the face, hands and arms that are exposed to sun just about every day. Sunscreen isnt a substitute for the rst two tips, Feldman warns, because it doesnt guarantee protection if you stay out too long, use too little or miss a spot. Still, picking a sunscreen should get less confusing next summer when new government regulations kick in. Those rules will prohibit claims like waterproof - you do need to reapply after swimming or sweating - and will assure protection against both types of skin-damaging UV rays.

To fight obesity,even babies should exercise

By Maria Cheng
LONDON Preschoolers, even babies, need daily exercise, the British government says in its rst-ever exercise advice for its youngest citizens. In a new campaign against obesity, Britain issued guidelines on Monday saying that children under the age of 5 including babies who can't even walk yet should exercise every day. The new guidance from the British health department said kids under 5 who can walk should be physically active for at least three hours a day. Ofcials also said parents should reduce the amount of time such kids spend being sedentary while watching television or being strapped in a stroller. Pudgy toddlers are also a big concern in the U.S., where the Institute of Medicine last month issued diet and activity recommendations for youngsters. It said preschool-aged kids should get at least 15 minutes of exercise
for every hour they spend in child care and suggested the US government create dietary guidelines for babies from the time they're born until they are 2 years old. About a third of American adults are obese. Like the British, American experts say parents should limit the amount of time babies spend in swings, bouncy seats or other equipment while theyre awake. In the U.K., ofcials said the recommended three hours of activity for kids under 5 should be spread throughout the day. Ofcials said the childrens daily dose of exercise is likely to be met simply through playing but could also include activities such as walking to school. For babies who cant walk yet, the government said physical activity should be encouraged from birth, including infants playing on their stomachs or having swimming sessions with their parents. It said oor-based play encourages infants to use their muscles and helps bone development.

the advice. Its vital that parents introduce children to
fun and physically active pastimes to help prevent them becoming obese children, who are likely to become obese adults at risk of heart disease, diabetes and some cancers, Maura Gillespie, head of policy and advocacy at the British Heart Foundation, said in a statement. Nearly a quarter of British adults are obese, and experts estimate that by 2050 about 90 percent of adults will be heavy. According to a 2008 health survey that used devices to measure how much people actually exercised, ofcials found only about ve percent of Britons meet the governments minimum physical activity advice about 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise every week, including some every day. For children aged 5 to 18, Britain recommends at least one hour of exercise, but that should include intensive activities to strengthen muscles and bones. In the U.S., the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises children and teenagers to get about one hour or more of physical activity every day.
Aging boomers strain cities built for the young

By Lauran Neergaard
NEW YORK Americas cities are beginning to grapple with a fact of life: People are getting old, fast, and theyre doing it in communities designed for the sprightly. To envision how this silver tsunami will challenge a youth-oriented society, just consider that seniors soon will outnumber school-
children in hip, fast-paced New York City. It will take some creative steps to make New York and other cities age-friendly enough to help the coming crush of older adults stay active and independent in their own homes. Its about changing the way we think about the way were growing old in our community, said New York Deputy Mayor Linda Gibbs. The phrase end of life does not
apply anymore. With initiatives such as using otherwise idle school buses to take seniors grocery shopping, the World Health Organization recognizes New York as a leader in this movement. But its not alone. Atlanta is creating what it calls lifelong communities. Philadelphia is testing whether living in a truly walkable community really makes older adults healthier. In Portland,
Ore., theres a push to t senior concerns such as accessible housing into the citys new planning and zoning policies. Such work is getting a late start considering how long demographers have warned that the population is about to get a lot grayer. Its shocking how far behind we are, especially when you think about this fact that if you make something age-friendly, that means

Cholera surges in Haitis Central Plateau

By Trenton Daniel
MIREBALAIS, Haiti An old man with sunken cheeks is so dehydrated he must be carried down the dirt lane to a clinic where the air is thick with the odor of bleach. Minutes later, a worried father enters, carrying a two-year-old girl in a frilly white dress, her eyes sunken and unfocused. Such scenes are once again common in Haiti where a deadly cholera epidemic that swept the country last fall has returned, fueled by weeks of heavy rains that have helped spread the waterborne bacteria that ourishes in the countrys rivers and rice elds. The treatment center in Mirebalais, a dusty crossroads town a one-hour drive north from the capital, Port-auPrince, is again seeing dozens of new patients a day, many arriving at the edge of death from dehydration. The center saw a vefold jump from April to May and it hasnt let up since, said Louise Ivers, senior health and policy adviser to the U.S.-based Partners in Health, which runs the clinic in association with the Health Ministry. When people come here, theyre in critical condition, ready to die, said Francole Adonis, who registers the new arrivals at the center. Theyre collapsing in the yard. The situation is horrible. The number of new cases each day spiked to 1,700 day in mid-June, three times as many as sought treatment in March, according to the
Health Ministry. The daily average dropped back down to about 1,000 a day by the end of June but could surge again as the rainy season develops. The epidemic began in rural Haiti last fall, likely brought by U.N. peacekeepers from Nepal. It swept through the countryside of an impoverished nation already overwhelmed by a January 2010 earthquake that left hundreds of thousands homeless and by political instability following disputed elections. Cholera has sickened at least 370,000 people and killed more than 5,500 since the outbreak started in October, according to the Health Ministry. The precise total is unknowable since many Haitians live in remote areas with no access to health care. The disease is relatively easy to treat if people can get help in time. When the outbreak began, foreign volunteers descended on Haiti to staff rural clinics and help provide access to clean drinking water. Many feared it would devastate Port-au-Prince, where hundreds of thousands of people were living in densely packed refugee camps. But people in the capital had access to latrines and potable water, thanks to the huge international aid effort, and it was spared the worst of the disease. The disease faded in winter and spring, when rain is less frequent, and many aid workers moved on. U.N. troops in Haiti turned their attention to the countrys many other pressing problems. Now there is a fear among aid workers who remain that there wont for society, too, he said. The size of the aging boom is staggering. Every day for the next few decades, thousands of baby boomers will turn 65. Thats in addition to the oldest-old, the 85- to 90-somethings whose numbers have grown by nearly one-third in the past decade, with no signs of slowing. By 2050, 1 in 5 Americans will be seniors. Worldwide, almost 2 billion people will be 60 or older, 400 million of them over 80. Thats almost always viewed as a health issue, preparing for the coming wave of Alzheimers, or as a political liability, meaning how soon will Social Security go bust? We think this is something we should be celebrating, says Dr. John Beard, who oversees the World Health Organizations Global Network of Age-Friendly Cities. They need to live in an environment that allows them to participate. In East Harlem, a yellow school bus pulls up to a curb and 69-year-old Jenny Rodriguez climbs off. The bus had already dropped a load of kids at school. Now, before the afternoon trip home, it is shuttling older adults to a market where they ock to fresh fruits

be enough resources if the latest surge gets much worse. If the cases continue on the same path we could see a lot of healthworker fatigue, said Cate Oswald, a Partners in Health coordinator. The and vegetables. Rodriguez usually goes shopping on foot, pulling along a small cart. It can be a hike. Supermarkets arent too common in this lower-income part of the city, and theres less to choose at tiny, pricier corner bodegas. You can only buy so much. Some streets, the cracks are so bad, youre pushing the shopping cart and almost go ying, Rodriguez said, examining sweet potatoes that she pronounced fresher and cheaper than at her usual store. This is so much easier. More than 200 times, school buses have taken older adults from senior centers to supermarkets in different neighborhoods. Its just one of a variety of initiatives begun in 2009 by the New York Academy of Medicine and the citys government to address the needs of older residents. Already, theyre showing results. A city report found the number of crashes has dropped at busy intersections in senior-heavy communities where trafc signals now allow pedestrians a few more seconds to cross the street. Benches have been placed in nearly 2,700 bus shelters to give waiting seniors a place to rest. health care force is already stretched thin. Oswald recalled how volunteers were everywhere during the rst response to the outbreak, providing supplies such as bleach, which is The citys aging taxi eet is scheduled to be replaced by a boxier model designed to be easier for older riders and people with disabilities to open the doors and slide in and out. On the Upper West Side, seniors snapped up a report card of grocery stores deemed age-friendly because they offer deliveries, have public bathrooms a rarity in the city and sell single portions of fresh meat, poultry or sh, important for people who live alone. Artists volunteer to teach at senior centers in return for space to work on or display their own creations. And a Time Bank is letting hundreds of people of different ages and with different skills essentially barter services. A retired English teacher may do some tutoring, for example, and use the credit she earns to get computer help from another volunteer. Aging expert Andrew Scharlach of the University of California, Berkeley, sees a common thread in these changes and the work of other cities. Combat the social isolation that too easily sneaks up on older adults and it has a huge impact not just on how many years they will live, but how
sprayed on shoes and throughout the centers to prevent the spread of cholera. At one point we were worrying about too much duplication of efforts, Oswald said. Then the rains started coming. Oswald paused. And cholera was still here. The rains have deluged the Caribbean, including Haiti, in recent weeks. The rivers of the Artibonite, where rural Haitians drink, bathe and wash their clothes, are owing through a valley ringed by chocolatebrown mountains, and cholera is again raging in the region. Sometimes, its 50 patients a day. Sometimes its 200 patients a day, Pierre-Marie Cherenfant, a Mirebalais doctor who oversees the clinic, said of the ow of cases coming to the facility. Smaller treatment centers throughout Haitis Central Plateau are also reporting sharp increases in recent weeks, though the most recent breakdown for Mirebalais is not yet available, Ivers said. There are signs of a growing problem in Carrefour, a large and crowded city on the right at the western edge of the capital. Treatment centers there were reporting more than 300 new cases a day in early June, more than twice what they were seeing back in November, according to the aid group Oxfam. An emergency latrine built in Carrefour collapsed as heavy rains fell and the waste spilled into a camp, according to a June report by the U.N.s shelter cluster. well they live them. Cities and suburbs were designed for younger people, full of stairs and cars, he explained. As they become increasingly difcult to navigate, older people gradually retreat. Revamping a lot of infrastructure may not happen in a tough economy. But some communities are building age-friendly changes into planned upgrades or maintenance, such as New Yorks street crossings, or into requirements for future development. The WHOs Beard says some changes arent that costly, noting that seniors around the world say more benches and access to bathrooms will help them get out and about. In redesigning the citys zoning code, proposals are being debated that would allow seniors to rent out their upper oors, and to require that a certain amount of new housing be whats called visitable with such things as ramp entrances, wide hallways and at least a half-bathroom on the main oor, she said. With funding from the National Institutes of Health, the aging groups Allen Glicksman is studying if seniors who live in a walkable neighborhood really are healthier as a result.

it is going to be friendly for people of all ages, not just older adults, said Margaret Neal of Portland State Universitys Institute on Aging. While this edgling movement is being driven by nonprot and government programs, New York aims to get private businesses to ante up, too. Last year, East Harlem became the citys rst aging improvement district. Sixty stores, identied with window signs, agreed to put out folding chairs to let older customers rest as they do their errands. The stores also try to keep aisles free of tripping hazards and use larger type so signs are easier to read. A community pool set aside senior-only hours so older swimmers could get in their laps without faster kids and teens in the way. On one long block, accountant Henry Calderon welcomes older passers-by to rest in his air-conditioned lobby even if theyre not customers. They might be, one day. Its good for business but its good

The nursing home is also saddled with design deciencies, like a limited number of exits, and doesnt meet seismic safety codes mandated for new hospitals. The San Mateo Medical Center has unused space that could be used for up to 96 long-term patients with minimal renovations, the jury concluded. Groom said there is nothing wrong with that idea but moving clients is a delicate situation that requires working with them and their families, if they have any. Its our responsibility to care for these folks and we have to do what is best, Groom said. Over the next few months, health ofcials will work on options they can bring to the Board of Supervisors, Rogers said. I want to stress that if its decided that closing Burlingame Long-Term Care is necessary, we would take the time needed to make a very extensive, deliberate and careful plan to ensure our patients and staff are protected and cared for, Rogers said. Another solution is the state giving San and Little League and often headed up fundraisers for the two groups. He coached little league and soccer teams and helped organize a Special Olympics basketball tournament. He was appointed to the citys Planning Commission in 1995 and rejoined the commission in 2008 after being termed out of his council seat. He was owner of Cox and Sons Construction and was also a construction manager for Artichoke Joes Casino in San Bruno. Cox also built scorekeeper booths at Sea Cloud Park and assisted in the development of the over-40 baseball program. He was inducted into the Foster City Community Wall of Fame in 2010. He was devoted to Foster City, said Councilman Rick Wykoff. You dont nd people like that any more. He cerPile driving work will begin in October and scheduled to be completed by the end of this year. The rst step in San Brunos grade separation project the construction of a rainwater control project was completed. The new underground box culvert will divert water away from the area during the construction and help reduce ooding in the neighborhood east of the railroad tracks near downtown San Bruno. The grade separation project is expected to be completed by summer 2012 at a cost of approximately $147 million. Tracks will be elevated above three existing at-grade street crossings at San Bruno, San Mateo and Angus avenues, improving safety for both motorists and pedestrians, according to Caltrain. The project will reduce trafc congestion to and from Highway 101 and downtown. dors new to the business such as William Pilz, who owns and operates Hapa SF. Pilz, a San Mateo resident, was a former chef at Citizen Cake in San Francisco for seven years before he lost his job. He had intended to open a brick and mortar restaurant in either Burlingame or San Mateo before realizing he could not secure the nancing. So, he decided to invest in a food truck. I was apprehensive at rst, Pilz said. Off the Grid events are key to his success, he said. It is integral to our business. Off the Grid is a part of our business plan, Pilz said.

Mateo County a Medi-Cal waiver which relaxes the rules of where the money can be used. The concept, known as longterm care integration, gives a county exibility to pick the most appropriate placement at the lowest cost. Currently, though, Medi-Cal recipients often have to stay in nursing homes like Burlingame Long-Term Care even though it is expensive and they may be better served elsewhere such as a small board-and-care home or even their own house with in-home support. If the state Legislature passes Senate Bill 21 to approve Medi-Cal waivers, San Mateo County would potentially be the pilot site for integration. Grand jury reports carry no legal weight but recipients must respond in writing within 90 days. The full report is available at www.sanmateocourt.org/grandjury

REPORT
Patients at Burlingame Long-Term Care are a mix of ages, no longer needing the acute care of the hospital but still requiring medical help. Dementia is common and the care home houses patients who have no alternative because of their mental and behavioral problems. The county lease ends in 2013 although there is an option to extend. According to the civil grand jury, the county should be looking elsewhere. County ofcials originally projected generating $1 million annually after bailing out the facility with millions in loans. The county cut funding and stafng in scal year 2010-2011, in part because Medi-Cal lowered reimbursement fees. The smaller reimbursements led to the closure of multiple private care facilities, placing a greater burden back on the Burlingame facility.

Caltrain spokeswoman Christine Dunn. In addition, those in attendance will be able to ask questions and raise concerns. Construction is under way for the shooy, a temporary rerouting around the project, which Caltrain plans to begin using in October through the spring of 2013, said Dunn. Using the shoo-y will mean some changes. Trains will run closer to the homes on First Avenue. Also, there will be no parking on the west side of First Avenue between San Mateo and Angus avenues. Temporary street closures are expected at the end of summer/early fall, however exact dates are not yet known.
When completed, the new station and improved trafc ow is expected to be a boost in San Brunos effort to revitalize downtown. The current Caltrain station at Sylvan Avenue will be moved to an elevated platform between San Bruno and San Mateo avenues that will feature 191 parking spaces and a kiss and ride lot at the former San Bruno Lumber site.

The goal is to create an innovative community space, Edwards said. A block away from last nights event, Fletchs Chicago-style hot dogs restaurant on Second Avenue was empty as Off the Grid was about to launch. The restaurants owner, Robert Fletcher, is not worried about Off the Grid stealing away his customers, however. The more people that come to downtown the better. They will attract new customers or the same customer again, Fletcher said. Extra crowds are good for business.

you thoroughly enjoy doing. It will not only rejuvenate your outlook but will get your mind off of the more serious stuff. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Needed information from reluctant sources can be gotten more easily by asking indirect questions rather than being openly aggressive. People talk freely when they arent pushed. lIBRa (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It is generally the little things we do and say to friends that make the most lasting impressions. A small deed or some kind words from you will register and be cherished for a long time to come. sCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Even though you are likely to be far more clever in financial matters than those with whom youll have dealings, to your credit you wont take advantage.
saGITTaRIus (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Dont be surprised
to hear from someone who has moved away and now resides at quite a distance from you. Youre very much in the thoughts of this person at this time. CaPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Even though youve been aware of an endeavor that you know you would fit into quite well, youve done nothing about it. Youre wanted, so do something about it now. aQuaRIus (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You are already aware of all the things you know, but new knowledge can be acquired from others, if you draw them out and get them talking. Keep them speaking by being a good listener. PIsCes (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Many of those with whom youre involved might overlook some significant details, but not you. That is the very reason why
youll fare so much better in the long run. aRIes (March 21-April 19) -- Being able to get along with everybody, youre a welcome addition to any gathering. However, the people youll enjoy the most today are those who share your philosophy and politics. TauRus (April 20-May 20) -- If youre not getting the elasticity from your funds that you want, take the time to examine why. There is no better day than now for making improvements. GeMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your personality is one that makes all of your friends feel they are fun to be around. Youll do this today without using flattery, but simply accepting pals for who they are. Copyright 2011, United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

THE DAILY JOURNAL
Obama demands big deal for debt limit

President Barack Obama and congressional leaders on Monday emerged still deeply divided over how to slash the nations debt, with reality sinking in that even a middle-ground proposal was not big enough to succeed and would not get through Congress anyway. As time runs perilously short for action, Obama challenged top lawmakers to return to the White House on Tuesday with fresh ideas for a debt-reduction plan that could pass the House and Senate. All sides are scrambling to reach a deal as part of a tradeoff in which Congress would agree to extend the nations debt limit by Aug. 2 to prevent a catastrophic government default on its bills. Turning up the pressure, Obama declared that he would reject any stopgap extension of the nations borrowing limit, imploring lawmakers once again to reach one of the most sizable debt-reduction deals in years. He refused to even entertain a backup plan if that doesnt happen. We are going to get this done, Obama insisted in a news conference. In a 90-minute closed meeting, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor spelled out potential spending cuts that had been identied in talks led for weeks by Vice President Joe Biden. But Democratic lawmakers in the room made clear such a cutting-only approach without tax hikes on wealthier Americans would never pass the Democratic-led Senate or the House, where Democratic votes would be needed, too. It did not appear, either, that such a plan would meet the House Republicans own standard of a debt-cutting package. They want cuts
that would exceed the size of the increase in the debt limit, which could be about $2.4 trillion to get the country through 2012 and next years elections. Republicans wont support a package that raises any taxes. As the stalemate continues, the pressure increases. A government default could trigger another enormous economic swoon. Democratic ofcials familiar with the White House position in the private talks insist that leaders of the House and Senate will not let that happen, and that Republicans ultimately would vote to raise the debt limit even if a decit-cutting package does not come together in time. Yet Republicans say otherwise. House Speaker John Boehner insists the House cant pass such a bill. I agree with the president that the national debt limit must be raised, and Im glad that he made the case for it today, Boehner told reporters. But the American people will not accept - and the House cannot pass - a bill that raises taxes on job creators. Obama renewed his case for a package that would put a historic dent in the countrys decits by blending politically poisonous elements for both parties: tax hikes for the wealthy and big corporations opposed by Republicans and social service cuts that Democrats decry He implored both political parties to give ground and show the American people that Washington can actually work. If not now, when? Obama said. By all accounts, Obamas third meeting with House and Senate leaders in under a week produced little movement. Cantor did most of the talking for Republicans, aides said, outlining up to $2.3 The U.S. and France both accused Syrian forces of being too slow to respond and demanded the government abide by its international obligations to protect diplomatic missions and allow envoys freedom of movement. The U.S. formally protested, calling the attacks outrageous, and saying protesters were incited by a television station heavily inuenced by Syrian authorities. Ford get out now, protesters wrote on a paper hung on the U.S. Embassys fence. The people want to kick out the dog, read grafti scrawled in red on the wall of the embassy, along with another line cursing America. The protesters smashed the embassy sign hanging over one gate. The U.S. said it would seek compensation for damage. Syrian-U.S. relations have been mired in mutual distrust for years. But Mondays attacks were the worst such violence since 2000, when a stone-throwing mob attacked and vandalized the
REUTERS
President Barack Obama said during a press conference that a decision on the debt limit needs to be made and he will reject any short- or long-term stopgap extension.
trillion in spending cuts over the upcoming decade, with $1.3 trillion coming from squeezing the day-to-day budgets of Cabinet agencies including the Pentagon. Cantor erred on the high end of the savings range in virtually every instance. The White House countered that the cuts really added up to more like $1.7 trillion, which would leave negotiators $700 billion short of the $2.4 trillion being sought and no bipartisan way to make up the gap. Democrats suggested that most spending cuts be concentrated in the later years of a deal, but a Republican aide said GOP lawmakers U.S. Embassy and ambassadors residence over American and British airstrikes against Iraq.
took issue with that suggestion and want the cuts to begin right away. Obama spent most of his time encouraging lawmakers to reconsider a bigger deal, on the order of some $4 trillion in spending cuts and tax hikes over 10 years. Democrats familiar with the talks said the meeting produced a clearer recognition that the leaders were going to have to go back and think again about how to nd a compromise. Obama has offered to entertain raising the Medicare eligibility age from 65 to 67 years if Republicans make compromises, including letting tax cuts for wealthy Americans expire at the end of 2012, according to a Democratic congressional aide. Yet the path to an accord remained hard to see. Cantor told reporters earlier in the day: We are not going to raise taxes. Thats all. All the ofcials familiar with the talks spoke on condition of anonymity to disclose details of the private discussions. Obama told reporters he would meet with the lawmakers every day until an agreement is reached. They have two weeks or less to do so in order to get any deal through Congress in time. He asked lawmakers to return to the White House on Tuesday at 3:45 p.m. EDT. Obama tried to alter the debate by saying in his news conference that any potential tax increases on wealthier people would not take effect until 2013. Notably, that would fall after the next election. The president said he would refuse to accept stopgap legislation of a few months to keep the nation from defaulting. Its not going to get easier; its going to get harder, Obama said. So we might as well do it now. Pull off the Band-Aid. Eat our peas. that a brush re had ignited more than 90 containers conscated in 2009 from a ship heading from Iran to Syria. The ofcial, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter, later said that the re may have started inside one of the containers. The gunpowder was seized after the United Nations said the Cypriot-flagged M/V Monchegorsk was breaching a ban on Iranian arms exports. Iran has frequently been accused of smuggling arms and munitions through Syria to anti-Israeli militants in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. The blast knocked out the islands main power station, causing widespread power cuts throughout the day. The Electricity Authority said the station wont immediately come back online,while ofcials appealed to the public to reduce electricity and water consumption as capacity at desalination plants had been scaled down.

Syrian protesters attack U.S., French embassies
BEIRUT Hundreds of Syrian government supporters attacked the U.S. Embassy in Damascus Monday, smashing windows and spray-painting walls with obscenities and grafti that called the American ambassador a dog. Guards at the French Embassy red in the air to ward off another group of protesters. The sharp escalation in tensions followed a visit last week by the American and French ambassadors to the city of Hama, a stronghold of opposition to authoritarian President Bashar Assad. Syrian authorities were angered by the visit and American Ambassador Robert Fords harsh criticism afterward of the government crackdown on a four-month-old uprising. Fords residence was also attacked on Monday.
Cypriot defense minister resigns after blast kills 12

MARI, Cyprus Dozens of containers of gunpowder seized years ago from an Iranian cargo ship exploded on Cyprus main naval base Monday in a massive blast that killed 12 people, wounded 62 and wrecked a major power station, causing extensive blackouts. The head of the island nations navy, Commodore Andreas Ioannides, was killed and its defense minister and military chief resigned. Ioannides son claimed top ofcials had repeatedly ignored his fathers warnings that the gunpowder was stored unsafely. Defense ministry ofcials would not comment on the allegation. A Cypriot ofcial said right after the blast
