In an effort to minimize employee layoffs
and create a sustainable level of compensation
for its employees, the San Mateo City Council
adopted a resolution last night that will save
the city about $2.8 million over the course of
a newly approved four-year contract.
The memorandum of understanding with
about 133 city workers calls for increased
contributions to retirement pension costs and
lower retirement calculations for new hires.
The city will also reduce its contributions to
employee health plans under the new deal.
The council approved the agreement on a
unanimous vote last night.
Members of the San Mateo City
Employees Association will give up raises
for scal year 2012-13, which just started July
1, and will get a .5 percent salary increase
next year, 1.5 percent increase for FY 2014-
15 and 2 percent increase in FY 2015-16.
Revenue growth has stalled in the city but
its contributions to pension and health costs
has increased signicantly, leading city of-
cials to renegotiate its contracts with all of its
labor groups.
The negotiations were called painful but
necessary.
We owe our employees a debt of gratitude
for the sacrices they have made. Theyve
gone above and beyond, Mayor Brandt
Grotte said at last nights special council
meeting.
San Mateo has cut its decit the past two
years considerably by reducing departmental
budgets across the board and instituting fur-

New school
options up
for review
San Mateo-Foster City officials
to hear recommendations for
fourth school and alternatives
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Efforts to identify a potential site for a new elementary
school in Foster City could result in a recommendation this
week.
The Superintendents Committee on Overcrowding Relief,
or SCORE, was created after residents packed a March San
Mateo-Foster City Elementary School District meeting to
oppose the idea of the district possibly purchasing commercial
space to house a fourth elementary school in Foster City.
Under a previously approved timeline, the committee is poised
to nalize a recommendation this week which will then be pre-
sented to the Board of Trustees Thursday evening.
SCORE began meeting in late May with a plan to consider
all options for meeting the districts overcrowding issue. It has

A San Mateo-based rehabilitation program
is being sued by the mother of a client who
died from a drug overdose after being admit-
ted to the organizations facility in Napa
Valley.
The suit led last week in San Mateo
County Superior Court claims Project Ninety
Napa Valley failed to properly assess or treat
Eric Lee Holley, 22, for being under the inu-
ence when he was admitted on July 25, 2010.
Holley died the next day and his mother, Lisa,
is seeking damages for his alleged wrongful
death due to negligence.
More than a year later, the 55-bed facility on
the campus of Napa State Hospital closed in
part because Holleys death left Project Ninety
unable to bid for funding, according to pub-
lished reports.
Project Ninety Napa Valley is one of sever-
al Bay Area treatment facilities operated by

Bikini parade falls
far short of record
MADISON LAKE, Minn. Only an
itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny number of biki-
ni-wearers turned out to strut their stuff
in a southern Minnesota town.
Organizers had hoped for hundreds of
women to march Saturday in what was
billed as the Worlds Largest Bikini
Parade.
But the number of bikini-wearing
women and a couple of men in bikini
tops at the Paddlesh Days Parade in
Madison Lake fell far short of the world
record.
The (Mankato, Minn.) Free Press
reported Saturday the number appeared
to be 39. Women were told they could
wear shorts over their bikini bottoms
once it was clear the record of 451 was
unattainable.
A majority of City Council members
opposed the bikini parade. Some said it
was inconsistent with the festivals fam-
ily-oriented nature.
Police: Woman tried
to break into Ohio jail
HAMILTON, Ohio Police in south-
west Ohio are perplexed about why a
woman tried to sneak into a county jail
before telling authorities to arrest her.
Deputies with the Butler County
Sheriffs Office arrested 36-year-old
Tiffany R. Hurd on Sunday morning
after she was caught trying to climb over
a fence into Butler County Jail in
Hamilton, near Cincinnati. It happened
after jail staff leaving a late-night shift
told Hurd to leave the property, but she
told them to arrest her.
She was repeatedly told to stop, Sgt.
Monte Mayer said. They couldnt talk
her out of it.
Deputies asked Hurd to leave numer-
ous times, but she refused and attempted
to climb the fence again. Thats when
police took action.
She got her wish, Mayer said. It
wasnt in a traditional manner.
Deputies say Hurd appeared to be
intoxicated. In a statement about the
incident, Sheriff Richard Jones said
Hurds actions caught him by surprise.
I know the economy is bad right now,
but I didnt think it was so bad that
someone would actually try to break IN
to jail, he said.
Mayer said his colleagues had never
heard of such a situation.
To the best of our knowledge, we
have never heard of someone trying to
break into a secure area of the jail com-
pound, hoping to get into jail, he said.
Thats a rst.
Hurd was arrested on misdemeanor
charges of criminal trespassing and dis-
orderly conduct. Bond was set at $2,500
during an arraignment Monday.
Hurd remains at the county jail. She
has another court appearance scheduled
Aug. 9. An attorney listed for Hurd did
not immediately return a message
Monday seeking comment.

Judy Caletti, Annie Caletti and Marie-
Christine Escudero began setting up work
space at the Fair Oaks Community Center last
week.
Judy Caletti set up a computer while
Escudero organized various vouchers and
Annie Caletti set boxes full of socks, towels,
toiletries and can openers near her. On
Tuesday afternoon, these three women were
volunteering as part of the Homeless Help
Center on site, which is manned through the
Society of St. Vincent de Paul of San Mateo
County. For a little more than an hour, home-
less people patiently waited their turn to
approach the three women who regularly vol-
unteer their time.
Some of the homeless are familiar faces.
The women ask whats new. Are they nding
work? Can they offer a possible lead for
work? Most are there for the basics vouch-
ers for the shower, haircut, laundry, food and
clothing, as well as a week of food. Each took
only what he or she needed and constantly
thanked the women for their time, suggestions
and access to the services.
Theres tuna, one man commented when
looking in that weeks food offerings. I hit
the gold mine.
Conversations also allow the women to see
how services are working for those who are
using them. Are the showers clean? Are they
able to use the laundry facilities in a timely
manner?
Judy Caletti began volunteering more than
two years ago. Now its a family affair with
her husband and daughter, Annie Caletti, both
actively volunteering. Last year, Annie Caletti
brought in some hats she made thinking they
might be nice to offer to the homeless because
of the cold weather. Those were a hit and now
shes making more.
Escuderos involvement has similarly
grown. She rst heard about the opportunity at
church and now volunteers in a variety of
ways.
I love it, she said.
Working directly with those served by the
Society of St. Vincent de Paul of San Mateo
County is just one way people can volunteer
with the nonprot that provides person-to-per-
son services. Executive Director Lorraine
Moriarty explained volunteers are the back-
bone of the organization. The hope is to
encourage people to help neighbors in need.
That can come in the form of offering help to
a local family or senior who is in a difcult
situation. Or, it can be volunteering at one of
the ve stores throughout the county.
We have room for many and varied volun-
teers, she said.

Charges dropped against pair for
allegedly shooting at paragliders
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Prosecutors dropped misdemeanor charges against two men
who reportedly shot pellet guns at paragliders earlier this year,
saying they could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the
conduct could have caused great bodily injury.
Edward Alan Amatori, 50, of San Francisco and Alex
Emmanuel Attard, 39, of Daly City, were scheduled for a jury
trial beginning Monday but instead the District Attorneys
Ofce asked to dismiss the case, said Deputy District Attorney
Karen Guidotti.
The two men were arrested Jan. 7 in Daly City after a SWAT
team responded to reports of shots red at Mussel Rock Park,
a popular launching point for paragliders. Three paragliders
had been preparing to take off from the coastal bluffs when
they heard four shots red over their heads and saw one shot
strike the ground nearby.
The paragliders called Daly City police who reported nding
Amatori and Attard ring .22-caliber pellet guns.
Amatori was previously convicted of misdemeanor assault
with a pellet gun, according to prosecutors.

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
A 76-year-old Pacica woman remains
missing after search-and-rescue teams
spent the weekend combing neighbor-
hoods and a mountainous county park
near her home.
Maria Marlies Jansen was last seen
by her husband on Wednesday afternoon
at her home in the Park Pacica neighbor-
hood, Capt. Fernando Realyvasquez said
Monday.
Realyvasquez said more than 300
search-and-rescue personnel participated
in ground and air searches spanning four
days. Most of the searches were carried
out in and around San Pedro Valley
County Park.
Jansens home is
close to the park, and
she was known to
hike there with her
h u s b a n d ,
Realyvasquez said.
She has a history
of hiking in the park
for many, many
years, he said.
Jansen, who suffers from an early
stage of Alzheimers disease, is about 5
feet 5 inches tall and weighs about 100
pounds. She has brown eyes and gray-
brown hair, and was last seen wearing
bright yellow Crocs shoes.
The searches involved xed-wing air-
craft from the San Mateo County Sheriffs
Ofce and the California Highway Patrol,
and ofcers from as far away as Marin and
Monterey counties, Realyvasquez said.
The search effort has been called off,
though police will continue to investigate
the case, he said.
We will continue the missing-person
investigation, Realyvasquez said. Were
going to follow up on any possible leads
as the days go by.
Anyone with any information about the
case is asked to call Pacica police at
(650) 738-7314.
Search for missing 76-year-old woman called off
By Amy Taxin and Hannah Dreier
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
STANTON Theres a new twist
emerging as some of Californias most
nancially troubled cities look for ways
out of their predicaments: Theyre
declaring scal emergencies so they can
quickly get tax hike initiatives on local
November ballots.
Leaders are turning most often to an
increase in the local sales tax. But there
also are proposals for hikes on utility
taxes, parcel taxes and, in the Los
Angeles-area city of El Monte, a propos-
al to tax sugary drinks.
Last months bankruptcy filing by
Stockton, quickly followed by one in
Mammoth Lakes and then San
Bernardinos sudden declaration of a
fiscal emergency and plan to file for
bankruptcy drew attention to an
increasingly common theme some
communities battered by the economy
and unable to control costs now are
heading toward insolvency.
El Monte finance director Julio
Morales said San Bernardino was a
wakeup call. Local ofcials declared a
scal emergency last week, clearing the
way for a ballot question asking resi-
dents to approve a 1 cent-per-ounce tax
on sugar-sweetened drinks. Local of-
cials think the tax would bring in up to
$7 million per year.
We dont want to wait like San
Bernardino and say, We cant make
payroll, Morales said.
La Mirada, Faireld and Culver City
are among other communities that
declared scal emergencies this year and
placed sales tax increases on their bal-
lots. The Orange County community of
Stanton declared a scal emergency, got
a utility tax question on the June ballot
and voters rejected it. Now the city may
try again in November.
Its unusual and perhaps unprecedent-
ed for so many cities to declare scal
crises in such a short period.
It is relatively new and a sign of
desperation, said David Brunori, pro-
fessor of public policy at George
Washington University who specializes
in tax policy and has studied state and
local nance in California.
A scal emergency requires a unan-
imous vote by a communitys governing
body, usually a city council. Such a dec-
laration allows cities to more quickly
place a tax question before voters, rather
than waiting up to two years for the next
scheduled local election.
Struggling cities look to tax hikes

Woman drowns in hotel jacuzzi
A 42-year-old San Ramon woman drowned in a hotel
Jacuzzi in Menlo Park over the weekend, a police spokes-
woman said Monday.
Paramedics responded to a report of a possible drowning
at the Best Western Riviera Motor Lodge Hotel at 15 El
Camino Real at about 5:35 a.m. Saturday, Menlo Park
police spokeswoman Nicole Acker said.
The victim had been found unresponsive in the Jacuzzi
by her friend, who contacted hotel management.
Hotel staff was performing CPR on the victim when
paramedics arrived.
The victim, who was later identified as Keri Michelle
Long, was pronounced dead at the scene.
A preliminary investigation indicated that there were no
signs of foul play, and that Longs death appeared to be
accidental, Acker said.
Police were awaiting the results of toxicology results
from the San Mateo County Coroners Office, which could
take about two weeks, Acker said.
Police to conduct
crosswalk crackdown
The Burlingame Police Department will conduct a spe-
cial enforcement detail tomorrow to target drivers who fail
to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks.
In 2010, the city had 17 pedestrian collisions with 15
injuries, according to police.
The enforcement detail will take place across the city.
Pier 29 fire caused by welders
A four-alarm fire that caused $2.4 million in damage to
San Franciscos Pier 29 last month was apparently caused
by welders doing work in the building, a fire department
spokeswoman said Monday.
The fire was reported at about 1:50 p.m. on June 20 at the
two-story waterfront building at the intersection of The
Embarcadero, Sansome and Chestnut streets.
The building was vacant but construction crews were on
site to prepare it for next years Americas Cup sailing race.
They apparently inadvertently started the blaze while doing
some welding, fire department spokeswoman Mindy
Talmadge said.
The wood on the building underneath the concrete was
really dry. It was like a tinderbox in there, Talmadge said.
Crews were welding a ladder to a wall near where there
was a crack in the concrete and a spark got in there, set-
ting the building ablaze, she said. Firefighters responded
and spent more than two hours battling the flames before
extinguishing the fire around 4 p.m.
The building is slated to house the operations staging
area for the Americas Cup regatta.

WASHINGTON The U.S.
Postal Service is bracing for a rst-
ever default on billions in payments
due to the Treasury, adding to
widening uncertainty about the mail
agencys solvency as rst-class let-
ters plummet and Congress dead-
locks on ways to stem the red ink.
With cash running perilously low,
two legally required payments for
future postal retirees health benets
$5.5 billion due Wednesday, and
another $5.6 billion due in
September will be left unpaid,
the mail agency said Monday. Postal
ofcials said they also are studying
whether they may need to delay
other obligations. In the coming
months, a $1.5 billion payment is
due to the Labor Department for
workers compensation, which for
now it expects to make, as well as
millions in interest payments to the
Treasury.
The defaults wont stir any kind of
catastrophe in day-to-day mail serv-
ice. Post ofces will stay open, mail
trucks will run, employees will get
paid, current retirees will get health
benets.
But a growing chorus of analysts,
labor unions and business customers
are troubled by continuing losses
that point to deeper, longer-term
financial damage, as the mail
agency nds it increasingly preoc-
cupied with staving off immediate
bankruptcy while Congress delays
on a postal overhaul bill.
Postmaster General Patrick
Donahoe has described a crisis of
condence amid the mounting red
ink that could lead even once-loyal
customers to abandon use of the
mail.
I think for my generation it was a
great asset if you had a letter or
package and you needed it to get up
to the North Pole, you knew it
would be delivered, said Jim Husa,
87, of Lawrence, Mich., after stop-
ping to mail letters recently at his
local post ofce. Noting the mail
agencys nancial woes, he added:
Times have changed, and we old-
timers know that. FedEx and UPS
and the Internet seem to be making
the Postal Service obsolete.
Banks are promoting electronic
payments, citing in part the growing
uncertainty of postal mail. The fed-
eral government will stop mailing
paper checks starting next year for
millions of people who receive
Social Security and other benets,
paying via direct deposit or debit
cards instead.
First-class mail volume, which
has fallen 25 percent since 2006, is
projected to drop another 30 percent
by 2016.
Art Sackler, co-coordinator of the
Coalition for a 21st Century Postal
Service, a group representing the
private-sector mailing industry, said
the payment defaults couldnt come
at a worse time, as many major and
mid-sized mailers are preparing
their budgets for next year.
The impact of the postal default
may not be seen by the public, but it
will be felt by the business commu-
nity, he said. Mailers will be
increasingly wary about the stability
of the Postal Service. The logical
and likely move would be to divert
more mail out of the system.

NATION 7
By John Hanna
TOPEKA, Kan. Frustrated by their
inability to achieve some policy goals,
conservatives in Republican states are
turning against moderate members of
their own party, trying to drive them out
of state legislatures to clear the way for
reshaping government across a wide
swath of mid-America controlled by the
GOP.
Political groups are helping nance
the efforts by supporting primary elec-
tion challenges targeting several dozen
moderate Republicans in the Midwest
and South, especially prominent law-
makers who run key state committees.
Two years after Republicans swept
into power in many state capitols, the
challengers say its time to adopt more
conservative policies.
If you dont believe in that playbook,
then why are you on the team? declared
Greg Smith, a Kansas state representa-
tive whos running for the state Senate,
with the goal of making it more conser-
vative.
The push is most intense in Kansas,
where conservatives are attempting to
replace a dozen moderate Republican
senators who bucked new Gov. Sam
Brownbacks move to slash state income
taxes.
The Club for Growth, a major conser-
vative interest group, is spending about
$500,000 in Missouri this year. Thats
double the amount it invested two years
ago. The anti-tax group Americans for
Prosperity opened new chapters in Iowa,
Minnesota and New Mexico. The con-
servative business group Texans for
Lawsuit Reform spent $3.5 million on
legislative candidates in the rst half of
2012, more than double its total during
the same period two years ago.
The primary strife reects differences
that were somewhat concealed in the
partys triumphant victories in 2010,
when, aided by public discontent about
the economy, the GOP won its broadest
control of state government since the
Great Depression. After the vote,
Republicans held governorships in 29
states and control of most of the legisla-
tures from Michigan to Texas.
Conservatives, some aligned with the
tea party movement, hoped to begin real-
izing their vision of smaller government
and of a reformed education system that
would give parents more alternatives to
traditional public schools. But some of
their initiatives were scaled back by
GOP colleagues to soften the impact on
public schools and other public services.
Oklahoma Republican Gov. Mary
Fallins plan to begin phasing out the
state income tax was blocked entirely,
and Brownback and Nebraska Gov.
Dave Heineman had to settle for a frac-
tion of the tax cuts they wanted.
Conservative leaders say they are
determined to seize a historic opportuni-
ty. Primary elections and runoffs are
continuing in key states through August.
The results so far have been mixed, with
the overall effect this year likely to be
incremental.
Its no secret that theres kind of a
battle for what the Republican Party will
be into the future and, as a consequence,
what this state will look like into the
future, said Mark Desetti, a lobbyist for
the largest teachers union in Kansas.
The conservative push is being felt in
states that are already solidly conserva-
tive, like Texas and Idaho, along with
others, like Missouri, with a tradition of
political moderation and divided power.
Republican legislatures continue to
move more and more to the right of cen-
ter, said Alan Cobb, whos overseeing
state-level operations for Americans for
Prosperity. You do have this tension
everywhere.
The conflict in Kansas is heading
toward a showdown in the Aug. 7 pri-
mary. Conservatives want to oust Senate
President Steve Morris, Senate Majority
Leader Jay Emler and the leaders of
most of the important committees in the
state Senate, which acted as a check on
Brownbacks move to make Kansas a
laboratory of conservative fiscal and
social policy.
Conservatives work to cull moderate Republicans
By Kasie Hunt and Steve Peoples
GDANSK, Poland It wasnt supposed to be this way.
Mitt Romney outraged Palestinians on Monday, telling
Jewish donors that their culture is part of
what has allowed them to be more eco-
nomically successful than the
Palestinians. That fresh controversy on
his visit to Israel came just days after
insulting the British on what was intend-
ed as a feel-good visit to the Olympics in
London.
Whether or not the trip changes votes
back home, the effect hasnt seemed to
be what Romneys presidential cam-
paign had in mind.
His rst steps onto the world stage as President Barack
Obamas Republican challenger were carefully crafted to
avoid political risk. He visited countries that are staunch
U.S. allies, limited questions from the media and arranged
made-for-TV appearances at symbolic venues in London
and Jerusalem. It was all intended to demonstrate he was
ready to handle foreign affairs smoothly and lead during
dangerous times.
Instead, as he made his nal stop of a three-nation tour in
Poland late Monday, Republicans and Democrats alike were
shaking their heads in the U.S. Though Republicans said
they saw no lasting harm, Democrats raised questions about
Romneys ability to handle delicate topics with sensitivity
on foreign soil, even under the friendliest conditions.
Romneys latest trouble stemmed from a speech he gave to
Jewish donors in which he suggested that their culture was
part of what has allowed them to be more economically suc-
cessful than the Palestinians. Kind words for Israel are stan-
dard for many American politicians, but Palestinian leaders
suggested his specic comments were racist and out of touch
with the realities of the Middle East.
Because its billed as a layup its billed as something
that should be simple perhaps he let his guard down, said
Hogan Gidley, a senior aide under former Republican presi-
dential candidate Rick Santorum. You say, Gosh, this guy
is so scripted, the campaign is so disciplined, so smart, how
could this happen? Still, he doubted that Romney would
suffer any long-term effects among voters who are still
undecided three months before the election.
Predictably, Obamas campaign was more critical, with
senior strategist David Axelrod saying on Twitter: Is there
anything about Romneys Rolling Ruckus that would inspire
condence in his ability to lead US foreign policy?
Its unclear whether voters in the U.S. are paying attention
to Romneys stumbles, especially as concerns about the
nations economy dominate most Americans concerns.
Id say it has the same impact as a stubbed toe, said Iowa
Republican John Stineman, a marketing consultant in Des
Moines. People are still focused on the economy.
Another hiccup? Romneys
foreign trip not so smooth

CENTENNIAL, Colo. James
Holmes appeared just as dazed as he did
in his rst court hearing after the deadly
Colorado movie theater massacre.
Holmes, 24, sat silently in a packed
Denver-area courtroom on Monday, as a
judge told him about the charges led
against him, including murder and
attempted murder, in one of the deadliest
mass shootings in recent U.S. history.
After the charges were read, prosecu-
tors and defense attorneys sparred over
whether a notebook that news reports said
Holmes sent to his psychiatrist and had
descriptions of the attack was privileged
information.
Its an argument
that foreshadows one
of the cases most fun-
damental issues: Does
Holmes have a mental
illness and, if so, what
role did it play in the
shooting that left 12
people dead and 58
others injured?
Sam Kamin, a law professor at the
University of Denver, said there is pro-
nounced evidence that the attack was
premeditated, which would seem to make
an insanity defense difcult. But, he
added, the things that we dont know are
what this case is going to hinge on, and
thats his mental state.
In all, prosecutors charged Holmes with
142 counts in the shooting rampage at a
midnight showing of the new Batman
movie.
Holmes faces two rst-degree murder
charges for each of the 12 people killed
and two attempted rst-degree murder
charges for every one of the 58 injured in
the July 20 shooting.
The maximum penalty for a rst-degree
murder conviction is death. The multiple
charges expand the opportunities for pros-
ecutors to obtain convictions.
Its a much easier way for the prosecu-
tion to obtain a conviction, said Denver
defense attorney Peter Hedeen. They
throw as many (charges) up as they can. If
you think you can prove it three different
ways, you charge it three different ways.

Indian power failure
puts 370M in dark for hours
NEW DELHI A power grid failure
blacked out northern India for hours Monday,
halting trains, forcing hospitals and airports
onto backup power and providing a dark,
sweltering reminder of the nations inability
to meet its energy needs as it strives to be an
economic power.
While the midsummer outage was unique in
its reach it hit 370 million people, more
than the population of the United States and
Canada combined its impact was softened
by Indians familiarity with almost daily
blackouts of varying duration. Hospitals and
major businesses have backup generators that
seamlessly kick in during power cuts, and
upscale homes are hooked to backup systems
powered by truck batteries.
Nonetheless, some small businesses were
forced to shut for the day. Buildings were
without water because the pumps werent
working, and the vaunted New Delhi Metro,
with 1.8 million daily riders, was paralyzed
during the morning commute.
Iran sentences four to
death in $2.6B fraud case
TEHRAN, Iran An Iranian court has sen-
tenced four people to death and given two
more life sentences on charges linked to a
$2.6 billion bank fraud described as the
biggest nancial scam in the countrys histo-
ry, an ofcial said Monday.
The trial, which began in February,
involved some of the countrys largest nan-
cial institutions and raised uncomfortable
questions about corruption at senior levels in
Irans tightly controlled economy.
But few specic details have been released,
possibly to avoid exposing too much internal
scandal while Irans leaders seek to assure the
country it can ride out tightening sanctions
over Tehrans nuclear program.
Around the world

BUKULMEZ, Turkey Smoking a ciga-
rette outside a Turkish hospital near the Syrian
border, a man in a gray gown and ip-ops held
his sleeping 2-year-old daughter, Aya. On Ayas
right eye was a bandage. In her left hand was a
chocolate bar.
Aya lost her eye when she was struck by
shrapnel from a shell that also killed her 8-
month-old brother, Mohammad, and their
mother. The father and daughter were among
some 200,000 people who the U.N. said late
Sunday have ed Syrias largest city, Aleppo,
during days of clashes between rebels and the
military.
Aleppo residents, some severely wounded, are
packing up belongings and loading them onto
cars, trucks and even motorcycles to seek tem-
porary shelter in rural villages and schools out-
side the city and dusty tents across the border in
Turkey.
In interviews with the Associated Press,
refugees described a city besieged by govern-
ment troops and beset by incessant shelling.
Food supplies and gasoline are running low and
black market prices for everyday staples are
soaring.
As the violence intensied, the countrys most
senior diplomat in London defected. Charge
daffaires Khaled al-Ayoubi is the latest in a
string of high-prole diplomats to abandon
President Bashar Assads regime over a crack-
down that, according to rights activists, has
killed more than 19,000 people since March
2011.
The battle for Aleppo, a city of 3 million that
was once a bastion of support for Assad, is criti-
cal for both the regime and the opposition. Its
fall would give the opposition a major strategic
victory with a stronghold in the north. A rebel
defeat, at the very least, would buy Assad more
time.
Activists said regime forces were shelling
rebel-held districts of the city and a cluster of
surrounding villages relentlessly on Monday,
sending entire families and panicked residents
eeing. Many went to Turkey, some 30 miles (50
kilometers) away, where tens of thousands of
Syrians have already found refuge during the
uprising.
Reem, a woman in her 30s who ed Aleppos
rebel-held district of Saif al-Dawleh, was among
those who showed up in Turkey on Monday.
The situation in Aleppo is dreadful, she told
the AP soon after arriving at the Bukulmez ille-
gal border crossing, where she was greeted by
Turkish soldiers.
Had it been merely bearable I wouldnt have
left my home, she said.
Wearing a black head scarf and black robe and
sandals, Reem described hiding for three days in
a room near the entrance of the building in
which she lived. She then ed to a village near
the Turkish border before crossing over on
Monday.
I blame the regime for everything. People in
the city used to go out and protest peacefully, but
they just shot at them, said Reem, who would
not give her last name.
Turkish troops ordered an AP team to leave
shortly after journalists began interviewing
refugees at the border crossing Monday.

Health care
Editor,
Regarding the guest perspective,
The health care debate, by Steven
Howard in the July 19 edition of the
Dily Journal, it raises a question as it
suggests more people covered means
more cost for treatment, calling it sub-
sidized. But the uninsured get treated
anyway at our cost because its illegal
in any state for hospitals to turn away
sick people who cannot pay.
So how does insuring more people
cost extra?

CalPERS strikes again
Editor,
California Public Employees
Retirement System (CalPERS)
announced that for its most recent year
it earned 1 percent compared to the 7.5
percent it uses in determining pension
funding. CalPERS investments at
March 31 of this year was $237.6 bil-
lion. This means that CalPERS is short
of its required return by $15.444 billion
or a greater amount than the state of
Californias entire budget decit. This
shortfall will of course be made up by
us as taxpayers, through state and local
taxing jurisdictions. It is interesting to
note that CalPERS reduced its goal
from 7.75 percent to 7.5 percent earlier
this year. Apparently, even though they
knew their earning rate through nine
months was 1.9 percent, they felt they
could make it up in the future. This
also suggests that recent city and coun-
ty budgets will be negatively impacted
when CalPERS recovers this lost
opportunity. Even though this is a sin-
gle year and CalPERS invests for the
longer term, the cost of our public
employees just went up.
A recent Wall Street Journal article
noted that CalPERS managed to lose
7.2 percent on stock investments
whereas the Dow Jones Average rose
3.8 percent during the year. In fairness,
the DJ performed better than the S&P
500 during 2011. However, this sug-
gests that with all their highly paid
employees, CalPERS managed to lose
$13 billion compared to simply invest-
ing its funds in an index fund for the
past year. I base this observation on
CalPERS funds being half invested in
public equity and the 11 percent rela-
tive loss. I wonder if, but doubt that,
there will be any accountability.
Hold on to your wallets.

Whoah buddy, not so fast
Editor,
Did I hear our governor correctly?
He is looking around and seeing his
friends die off and by golly wants to
get stuff done. Our governor used
another word instead of stuff, but in my
push to get this letter printed I will
avoid profanity.
I do not know what the Brown family
has against Northern California water
resources and the Delta, but it sure
wants to deplete it and pump it south.
After our current governor got the
incredibly costly and unnecessary high-
speed rail passed a little over a week
ago, he doubles down on this tunneling
asco. His tone is bordering on obnox-
ious, and his spending is completely
out of line given the dire predicament
our state nances. Nobody even consid-
ers the unfunded liabilities of more
than $250 billion the state owes public
union employees for retirement. With
the Democratic Party enjoying a super
majority in the state legislature, it does
not appear like things will be changing
anytime soon.
Conservatives, who have protected
the taxpayers interest in the past, no
longer have a seat at the table. There is
only one thing you can do that will get
the attention of the governor and
Sacramento. In November, vote no on
all tax proposals that appear on the bal-
lot. This will effectively tell Gov.
Brown to go eat the same stuff he
wants to get done.

Buy American
Editor,
Regarding the letter, Bigger Mess
in the July 30 edition of the Daily
Journal regarding U.S. manufacturing,
this is such a complicated issue and I
dont pretend to fully understand it.
That said, I agree that some businesses
(people like you and me) have become
so detached from their communities
and their workforces that they have
ignored some of the long-term negative
repercussions of their actions
actions probably in response to market
pressure in this case outsourcing
jobs. However, if the American people
were willing to buy less stuff and
pay more for the stuff we do buy,
wouldnt big businesses feel that pres-
sure and bring jobs back to the United
States?
Instead of defaulting blame to the
other guy (1 percent a tiny number),
and feeling helpless and impotent (99
percent? That seems powerful to me). I
would like to see we the people take
some personal responsibility. Lets look
at our own greed for material things
and ask ourselves honestly How
are we contributing to this problem,
and what can we do to make it better
for all of us?
So take your power back, only buy
American, and if what you want isnt
made in America, go without and tell
the company that manufactures it what
you would pay for it (more) if you
could nd American made. In other
words, put your money where your
mouth is. If big businesses get enough
market research volunteered to them by
concerned citizens, it may be all they
need to change their greedy ways and
keep their stockholders [people like
you and me if youre in a 401(k) or the
like] happy too.

Cherry picking an issue
Editor,
Once again I see that Mr. Scott
Abramson has cherry picked an issue
and taken things out of context. I am
referring to his letter, Attorney general
contradicts himself in the July 13 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal. Mr.
Abramson complains about how
Attorney General Eric Holder is some-
how contradicting himself by requiring
attendees at a convention to show gov-
ernment ID, yet, at the same time
Holder is threatening the state of Texas
(and other states) with voter registra-
tion fraud.
It seems Mr. Abramson has done it
again. He has chosen not to include all
sides of the story, including the history
or backstory of the problem with voter
fraud and voter registration fraud in
Texas and other states controlled by the
Republicans, where the Republican-
controlled state governments of these
states are trying everything they can to
eliminate the Hispanic, black, poor,
immigrant and other potential voters
who tend to lean toward voting
Democrat in these states. As a result,
Holder has threatened federal lawsuits
against these states where they are ille-
gally preventing U.S. citizens from
their constitutional rights to vote. The
threat of federal lawsuits are because of
the repeated ndings of illegal and
wrongful termination of peoples right
to vote due to mistakes, fraud and cor-
ruption.
Now, Mr. Abramson, do you want to
rewrite your letter the correct way and
with all the facts and circumstances
involved? Or do we just continue to

Ruffling feathers
E
nough with the constant clucking over Chik-fil-
A. To anybody who does not believe the defini-
tion of marriage is cast in stone by a heterosexu-
al-favoring Almighty rather than a more open-minded
deity or even civil code, the comments of Chik-fil-A
CEO Dan Cathy admittedly
sound bigoted, hateful and
all-around dumb.
Cathys distaste for gay
marriage, frankly, couldnt
be more clear if it were
written on a menu board
there s not a lot of ways to
spin as tolerant his support
of the biblical definition of
the family unit or worrying
that society is shaking an
arrogant fist at God.
Then again, Cathy
shouldnt have to spin it. Hes entitled to his own opin-
ion which, again frankly, shouldnt come as a shock. The
company closes on Sundays so employees can attend
church. The chain has made no bones about its Christian
values. Heck, Cathys inflammatory words were part of
an interview given to a Baptist press organization. Did
anybody really think he was in the running for grand
marshal of the local pride parade?
Cathy is not the first person to disclose anti-gay senti-
ments and sadly he wont be the last. However, the polit-
ically tinged outcry over his comments has gotten so out
of hand youd think the future of the Defense of
Marriage Act and Proposition 8 was left entirely in the
same hands clutching paper bags of chicken sandwiches.
Sarah Palin and her trusty sidekick Todd are tweeting
photos of themselves swinging by a franchise. Yippee
for them. Shes a private citizen again. Dig in for sec-
onds!
But folks with a little more political clout need to pipe
down and remember they arent the self-appointed heads
of the thought police. Former presidential hopefuls Mike
Huckabee and Rick Santorum are calling for Chick-fil-A
Appreciation Day. In Philadelphia and Chicago, officials
are formally denouncing the company and telling it to
roost elsewhere. Boston Mayor Thomas Menino actually
said he doesnt want the business in his city ironical-
ly, because he said Boston is at the forefront of inclu-
sion. Guess that doesnt include unpopular opinion.
Even Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel jumped in the fray,
saying the companys values are not that of the city and
that it is not respectful of its residents and family
members.
What about respecting free speech? What about not
risking lawsuits by banning private businesses based on
uncomfortable views?
Individuals who dont like Cathys stances can sign an
online petition and clog the blogosphere. Better yet, they
can vow allegiance to Popeyes and KFC or buy some
books at Amazon.com. How about watching a Muppet
Show rerun or grabbing a venti anything at Starbucks?
Go ahead and burn copies of Kirk Cameron movies.
Stock up on rainbow Oreos. Pull the kids out of Boy
Scouts. Send some wedding cards from Target. The point
is, money often speaks a lot louder than kiss-ins and
rainbow chicken suits and those on both sides of the
matter are welcome to exercise that right.
The political set, though, is different. Leaders are also
allowed to air their personal opinions but cannot use
those views to keep Chick-fil-A or any other private
business at bay. If the U.S. Supreme Court refuses to
keep the Westboro Church from protesting military
funerals, chances arent good the justices will have feel
warm and fuzzy about zoning out chicken shacks. Aside
from entering a constitutional gray zone, such calls for
action also put Emanuel and the others on more tenuous
footing than Cathy. Chick-fil-A, after all, isnt refusing
to employ or serve anybody.
The truth is nothing advocates say or do is going to
make Cathy eat his words. The consumers pocketbook
is a mighty weapon but even if Chick-fil-A is run out of
business, what does that even prove? That said, the
groups organizing protests and pilgrimages are entitled
to try as entitled as Cathy or any other private person
or group to hold viewpoints that ruffle feathers.

NEW YORK A two-day rally that
sent stocks soaring last week zzled out
Monday.
European leaders vowed Thursday
and Friday to keep the continents mon-
etary union intact, and investors sent
stock markets shooting higher. But
stocks were little changed Monday as
investors waited to see if they would
back up their words with action.
The Dow Jones industrial average
sank 2.65 points to close at 13,073.01.
JPMorgan Chase led the Dow lower,
falling 2 percent to $36.14.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy
Geithner met separately with Germanys
nance minister and the head of the
European Central Bank, Mario Draghi,
on Monday. Draghis pledge to do what-
ever was needed to protect the euro set
off a market rally last week. The Dow
rose back above 13,000 for the rst time
since May and is now up 1.5 percent for
the month.
Hopes are high that Draghi will
announce plans to support the euro
when the central bank meets Thursday,
said David Brown, the CEO and chief
market strategist at the research rm
Sabrient.
I think thats the big story this week,
Brown said. The market has really
responded to his bold statement. I hope
the ECB takes action. If they dont do
anything, its not going to be pretty.
Investors are also looking toward the
Federal Reserves meeting this week.
Many in the nancial markets believe
the Fed will take new steps to stimulate
the economy in coming months. The
Fed will release its statement on interest
rate policy Wednesday afternoon.
Besides the Fed statement and the
ECB meeting, another potentially mar-
ket-moving event comes up Friday,
when the U.S. Labor Department releas-
es its monthly employment survey.
Economists expect that the unemploy-
ment rate will remain at 8.2 percent.
In other Monday trading, the broader
Standard & Poors 500 index fell 0.67 of
a point to 1,385.30, while the Nasdaq
dropped 12.25 points to 2,945.84.
The indexes had been creeping higher
early in the day, then reversed course
soon after a regional manufacturing
report came in much weaker than ana-
lysts had expected. A survey of manu-
facturing by the Dallas branch of the
Federal Reserve showed a steep drop in
July. Economists had forecast a modest
gain.

Big movers

SAN FRANCISCO With billions
of dollars and control of the U.S. smart-
phone and computer tablets markets at
stake, jury selection began Monday in a
closely watched trial between two of the
worlds leading tech companies over
patents.
Apple Inc. filed a lawsuit against
Samsung Electronics Co. last year alleg-
ing the worlds largest technology com-
panys smartphones and computer
tablets are illegal knockoffs of its popu-
lar iPhone and iPad products.
Cupertino-based Apple is demanding
$2.5 billion in damages, an award that
would dwarf the largest patent-related
verdict to date.
Samsung countered that Apple is
doing the stealing and that some of the
technology at issue such as the round-
ed rectangular designs of smartphones
and tablets has been industry stan-
dards for years.
A jury of 10 people will be picked
from a pool of dozens, and opening
statements could start late Monday or
early Tuesday in a trial expected to last
more than a month.
The case is just the latest skirmish
between the two companies over product
designs. A similar trial began last week,
and the two companies have been ght-
ing in courts in the United Kingdom and
Germany.
Industrywide, some 50 lawsuits have
been led by myriad telecommunica-
tions companies jockeying for position
in the burgeoning $219 billion market
for smartphones and computer tablets.
U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh in San
Jose last month ordered Samsung to pull
its Galaxy 10.1 computer tablet from the
U.S. market pending the outcome of the
upcoming trial, though the judge barred
Apple attorneys from telling the jurors
about the ban.
Thats a pretty strong statement from
the judge and shows you what she thinks
about some of Apples claims, said
Brian Love, a Santa Clara University law
professor and patent expert. He said that
even though the case will be decided by
10 jurors, the judge has the authority to
overrule their decision if she thinks they
got it wrong.
In some sense the big part of the case
is not Apples demands for damages but
whether Samsung gets to sell its prod-
ucts, said Mark A. Lemley, a Stanford
Law School professor and director of the
Stanford Program in Law, Science, and
Technology.
Tech titans face off in court over iPhone, iPad
Investment manager Franklin
Resources Inc. said Monday that its
fiscal third-quarter profit dropped 9.5
percent as its assets under manage-
ment declined.
The San Mateo-based company,
which operates as Franklin Templeton
Investments, reported net income of
$455.3 million, or $2.12 per share, for
the three months ended June 30, down
from $503.3 million, or $2.26 per
share, in the same quarter last year.
Revenue fell 3.8 percent to $1.78
billion from $1.85 billion a year earli-
er.
Franklin Resources assets under
management fell 3.7 percent to $707.1
billion from $734.2 billion in the third
quarter of 2011. The company said the
decline in the stock markets value
over the period was the primary rea-
son. At the same time, net new flows,
or money coming in to the companys
funds from investors compared with
money going out, plummeted 78 per-
cent to $4.8 billion from $21.7 billion.
Shares of Franklin Resources rose
$2.91, or 2.6 percent, to $115.12 in
afternoon trading. The shares have
traded between $87.71 and $129.16 in
the past 52 weeks.
Chrysler posts $436M
second-quarter profit
DETROIT Chryslers almost total
reliance on North America used to be a
huge weakness, one that sent the company
into bankruptcy protection.
Now its a major strength. The region is
generating prots for the company while
losses in Europe and slowing sales in
South America and China are drains on
other carmakers.
Chrysler, which sells almost 90 percent
of its cars and trucks in the U.S. and
Canada, made a $436 million prot in the
second quarter. It was a huge turnaround
from a year earlier, when the company
lost $370 million, mainly because it re-
nanced government bailout loans.
The automaker, now majority owned by
Italys Fiat SpA, also backed an earlier
prot forecast of about $1.5 billion for the
year.
Oracle to buy Xsigo Systems
Business software maker Oracle Corp.
said Monday that it has agreed to buy net-
working technology company Xsigo
Systems for an undisclosed sum.
Xsigos technology is used by compa-
nies such as eBay, Verizon and British
Telecom to help manage their data cen-
ters. It uses virtualization, which lets sin-
gle computers and servers function as
multiple machines, to let its customers
connect any server to any network and
data storage. Oracle said this helps save
money and boosts the performance of
applications.
Oracle said that by combining Xsigos
network virtualization technology and
Oracles VM server virtualization technol-
ogy it expects to offer a complete set of
virtualization capabilities to its customers.
Levinsohn leaving
Yahoo after second CEO snub
LOS ANGELES Ross Levinsohn,
the interim CEO who was snubbed in
the search for a permanent leader at
Yahoo, is leaving the Internet portal.
Yahoo announced the departure in a
securities ling on Monday.
With much fanfare, Yahoo appointed
37-year-old Marissa Mayer as CEO two
weeks ago. Retaining Levinsohn, who
had been interim CEO since May,
would have been one of her rst big tri-
umphs.
Levinsohns exit is not unexpected.
Yahoos stock barely moved in after-
hours trading. Following the announce-
ment, it rose 2 cents to $16. The stock
closed Mondays regular session down
13 cents, or less than 1 percent, at
$15.98. In the last year, Yahoos stock
has traded between $11.09 and $16.79.

U.S. GYMNASTICS: MEN TURN PRELIM LEAD INTO FIFTH PLACE FINISH, CHINA WINS GOLD >>> PAGE 16
Price sets PR, finishes top 10 at Junior Olympics
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
For Menlo High Schools Maddy Price, the
ticks on a track and eld stopwatch are hur-
dles. And as the summer progresses, its
becoming evident there might not be an obsta-
cle the sprinter cant clear.
Following a stellar sophomore season when
Price finished third at the Central Coast
Section championships and earned a trip to
the CIF meet, the 400-meter specialist left a
mark at the USA Junior Olympics Nationals
over the weekend.
Ive been training every morning, Price
said about her post-high school regimen. Ive
been trying to get stronger. Going to the
weight room a little bit. Denitely getting
stronger and working on my endurance, doing
hill repeats. Just training to make sure I had
enough strength also, racing is a lot of
mental [work]. At state, I denitely wanted to
do well, but I had a huge drive at Nationals
this year just because I really wanted to
redeem myself. I think the mental game really
helped me a lot. Its a balance of both.
Since March, Price has been a model of
consistent improvement. The incoming junior
has set personal records at every major race.
At CCS, her 56.68 earned her a third place
medal and her work during the summer had
her ranked 31st heading into the Junior
Olympics.
Maddy is not only an amazing athlete, but
an extreme competitor, said Jorge Chen,
Prices coach in cross country, soccer and
track. Very few kids her age think like her
and have such a drive to excel.
Its that competitive drive that fueled an
incredible race for Price in the preliminaries.
She was in fth place going into the last
hundred meters, Chen said, and the other
four runners were within attacking range.
Anyone that knows Maddy knows she has this
crazy kick, so, as soon as she was coming up
the last hundred meters, we just felt like
Maddy was going to win that heat. And she
just went for it.
When I was running, the last hundred
meters, I could hear the announcer speaking,
here comes lane 7 because I was passing a
couple of the other girls, Price said. And I
think I was crossing the nish line, it came up
on the board Price, 55.85 and my heart was,
oh my God, beating so fast. I was so happy
that I pushed past 56. I was so happy, so
ecstatic. It felt great.
The 55.85 is a new personal record. Going
sub-56 is a brand new level for girls going into
their junior year, Chen said. And so she was
pretty stoked.

Grevers good as gold
REUTERS
Matt Grevers pumps his st in celebration after winning the gold medal in the 100-meter backstroke at the 2012 London Olympics games.
Missy Franklin races to Olympic gold in 100-meter backstroke as well
LONDON Missy Franklin stared out on
the horde of reporters, suddenly sounding
very much like a high school senior-to-be. I
dont like being up here alone, she said nerv-
ously.
Then, just like that, she turned on a big
smile and worked the room like a pro.
Thanks to this Colorado teenager,
Americas swim hopes are back on track at the
Olympics.
Michael Phelps has yet to win a gold medal,
and Ryan Lochtes star has dimmed just a bit.
So it was Franklin providing a much-needed
boost to swimmings powerhouse nation,
coming back less than 14 minutes after swim-
ming a seminal heat to win the rst gold
medal of what gures to be a dazzling career.
Indescribable, the 17-year-old Franklin

U.S. women
rip Angola
LONDON Another game, another
blowout for the U.S. womens basketball team
not that the score matters to them.
That sounds like the right thing to say after
Candace Parker had 14 points and 12 rebounds
to lead the U.S. to a 90-38 rout of Angola on
Monday night.
But the Americans
arent just being political-
ly correct.
They know they are still
a work in progress, having
only been together train-
ing for two weeks, and are
going to play some tough
games during the tourna-
ment.
The goal is to continue
to get better every game and I think that was
what we did against Angola, Parker said. I
think were continuing to work on things that
no matter what the scoreboard can help us
down the line.
The game against Angola was expected to
be an easy romp and it was with the U.S.
overwhelming the Olympic newcomer.
Its denitely about ourselves, said U.S.
guard Sue Bird. Thats how coach (Geno)
Auriemma coaches in college. Its his philoso-
phy. Never about how much you win by or
lose by, its how we played. Especially in a
game like tonight where going in we kind of
had a feeling it might be like this. Not to play
to the score, not to relax.
This is an opportunity for us to play togeth-
er and we need to take advantage of every
opportunity we get.
Parker nished with her second double-dou-
ble of the tournament. She is averaging 12.5
points and 12.5 rebounds.

After sweep, Giants sink lower
SAN FRANCISCO Scott
Hairston hit his second homer of the
game, connecting in the 10th inning
to send the New York Mets past the
reeling San Francisco Giants 8-7
Monday night.
The Giants have lost ve in a row,
all at home, and were coming off a
sweep by Los Angeles. San
Francisco still leads the NL West by
one percentage point over the
Dodgers.
Hairston hit two-run homer in the
eighth as the Mets scored four times
for a 6-4 lead. Buster Posey and
Nate Schierholtz had RBI doubles
in the Giants ninth to tie it.
Hairston hit a solo homer in the
10th off Santiago Casilla (4-5) and
the Mets scored again on an error.
The Giants got a run in their half
before Manny Acosta earned his
rst save.
Josh Edgin (1-0) got his first
major league victory.
Hairston hit a tying homer in the
eighth and pinch hitter Justin Turner
and Rob Johnson also drove in runs
in the inning against Sergio Romo.
Hairston has 14 home runs against
the Giants, his most versus any
team. Romo was tagged for four
runs, matching what he had allowed
in his previous 30 2-3 innings.
Bobby Parnell gave up Poseys
double and Edgin allowed
Schierholtzs tying hit, giving the
Mets their 17th blown save.
Ronny Cedeno added two RBIs
for the Mets. Marco Scutaro and
Ryan Theriot each had two hits and
drove in a run for the Giants.
Giants starter Madison
Bumgarner gave up two runs on six
hits over six innings. He walked two
and struck out nine.
Mets starter Jeremy Hefner
allowed four runs on 10 hits over 5
2-3 innings. He walked three and
struck out ve.
Scutaros sacrice y in the third
gave the Giants a 1-0 lead.
NOTES: Mets OF Mike Baxter
was activated from the disabled list
after OF Kirk Nieuwenhuis was
optioned to Triple-A Buffalo fol-
lowing Sundays game in Arizona.
... Andres Torres has hit safely in 11
straight road games. ... Cedenos
double was the Mets 201st of the
season, which trails only the Boston
Red Sox. ... Two-time Cy Young
Award winner Tim Lincecum (4-11,
5.88) goes for the Giants on
Tuesday night. Hes beaten the Mets
in his last four starts against them. ...
RHP Matt Harvey (1-0, 0.00) will
make his second major league
appearance for the Mets. ... Aubrey
Huff recorded his rst RBI since
June 2. ... Mets OF Jason Bay ended
a 0-for-23 streak with a sixth-inning
single, just shy of his career worst 0-
for-24. ... Matt Cain became the rst
Giants pitcher to score a run as a
pinch runner since Brad Hennessey.
LONDON The coach of reign-
ing world champion Jordyn Wieber
says its an injustice the American
wont be included in Thursdays
Olympic all-around nals.
Wieber finished fourth during
qualifying Sunday, but will miss a
shot at Olympic gold because inter-
national rules allow only two com-
petitors per country in the nals.
Teammates Aly Raisman and
Gabby Douglas nished ahead of
Wieber, leaving the 17-year-old on
the outside of an all-around nal at
a major competition for her rst
time as an elite gymnast.
John Geddert, who has coached
Wieber her entire career, called the
rule ridiculous, saying it penalizes
countries that have deep rosters.
In this system its a shame that
the all-around champion doesnt get
to compete in the finals at the
Olympics because of a stupid rule,
Geddert said.
The two-per-country rule has
been in place in each of the last two
games, designed to give gymnasts
from other countries a chance to
make it to nals. The top 24 indi-
vidual nishers in Sundays prelims
made Thursdays nal.
Its never been an issue for
Wieber, whod only lost two all-
around competitions in the last three
years, both of them to teammates.
Until Sunday, shed never missed an
all-around final during her elite
career.
Now, shell miss the opportunity
to follow in the footsteps of Mary
Lou Retton, Carly Patterson and
Nastia Liukin.
Wieber posted on her Facebook
page Monday that it was hard to
explain these feelings.

working.
The three-time
Pro Bowler is
still one of the
first players to
arrive each day
at team head-
quarters, begin-
ning his training
camp ritual with
an early morning
conditioning session long before the
49ers take to the practice eld.
Gores work ethic has helped
make him the franchises all-time
leading career rusher to go along
with several other team records. But
the way Gore sees it, he has more
work to do this summer to hold off a
new group of competitors looking to
cut into his playing time.
The 49ers added veteran Brandon
Jacobs and second-round draft pick
LaMichael James during the offsea-
son to a crowded backeld that also
features Gores slippery understudy
Kendall Hunter. Gore said its the
most competitive group hes ever
been a part of since joining the
Niners, providing him new motiva-
tion to stay in front of the pack.
Gore wouldnt have it any other
way.
Im cool with it, Gore said
Monday. Im a competitor. Its fun
to compete. That will only make our
team better. Im just happy to be
back out there with the team playing
football and putting the pads on.
Gore put on the pads this summer
perched on a pedestal. While rush-
ing for 1,211 yards last season
the fth 1,000-yard season of his
career Gore passed Hall of
Famer Joe Perry as the leading rush-
er in 49ers history. Gore enters this
season with 7,625 career yards rush-
ing.
Gores 2011 season was one of
his best. He assembled a team-
record string of five consecutive
100-yard rushing games to spark the
49ers to a surprising 9-1 start,
stretching his team-record career
total of 100-yard games to 29.
He later averaged 5.6 yards a
carry while rushing for 163 yards
and catching 13 passes in two
games during San Franciscos run to
the NFC championship game. It was
Gores rst trip to the playoffs.
But there was a perception that
Gore wasnt as effective after mid-
season, when he was hampered by
minor injuries. After being limited
to a career-low zero yards on six
carries in a November game against
the New York Giants, Gore averaged
only 53.6 yards rushing over San
Franciscos nal eight games.
Even though Hunter proved to be
a ne complement to Gore as a
rookie last season with 473 yards
rushing the most by Gores back-
up since he became the teams regu-
lar starter in 2006 the 49ers opted
not to stand pat at the position.
The team added power by signing
the 264-pound Jacobs, who started
48 games and rushed for 4,849
yards in seven seasons with the
Giants. The Niners then used their
second draft pick on the speedy
James, who rushed for 5,082 yards
in three seasons at Oregon.
The 49ers would like to nd a
way to use them all, which could
mean a diminished workload for
Gore this year to keep him fresh.
Gores 282 carries last season were
the second most of his career and he
has averaged 300 touches a year
over the past six seasons.
Thats something that well
address and something that will
unfold as we go, offensive coordi-
nator Greg Roman said. Youre
always looking to maximize each
players ability relative to the group
and do whatevers best for the team.
But Frank Gore is a great football
player and hes a team football play-
er. We count on him in so many
ways and were thrilled that hes a
49er.
Gore never has been one to shy
away from competition. As one of
the top running backs in the nation
as a high school senior, Gore had his
choice of scholarship offers from
top college programs. He chose his
hometown University of Miami,
where three running backs who later
would start in the NFL already were
ahead of him on the depth chart.
Now Gores at the top of that
chart with the 49ers and ready to
face the new challenges the team
has provided him.
49ers Gore still driven despite accomplishments

Bay Area buzz changing without Luck
SAN FRANCISCO The buzz
in the Bay Area is shifting this fall
with Andrew Luck long gone.
The rst evi-
dence of that
came Monday
when Stanford,
California and
San Jose State
players and
coaches gath-
ered in front of
fewer writers
and even fewer
cameras in
downtown San Francisco for the
annual Bay Area luncheon. The rest
will sink in when fall practices begin
later this week and games kick off
next month without No. 12 stealing
the spotlight.
Stanford has a quarterback compe-
tition that could take just that long to
resolve. Cal is moving back into
remodeled Memorial Stadium
and might need every day left for
construction to be completed after
calling the Giants AT&T Park home
last year, and Mike MacIntyre is try-
ing to take the next step in trans-
forming San Jose State from laugh-
ingstock into legitimate winner.
This is the best and worst time for
a football coach, said Stanfords
David Shaw, the reigning Pac-12
Coach of the Year now entering his
second season at the helm. The best
because we all have the same dreams
and aspirations of what our teams
can accomplish, but then the worst
because we cant see them for anoth-
er few days. Its driving us insane.
Maybe this season more than
most.
A year ago, the Bay Areas college
football landscape always second
ddle in one of the most booming
NFL markets saw a rare spike
because of Luck, such a driving
force in the sport that he created a
frenzy just by showing up at the last
media day with his signature scruffy
beard shaved off. Now the two-time
Heisman Trophy runner-up is
preparing for the pros after the
Indianapolis Colts drafted him No. 1
overall, leaving a gaping hole back
in the Bay Area to ll.
Shaw is still no closer to reaching
a decision on Lucks replacement.
He said he will take the quarterback
competition between Brett
Nottingham and Josh Nunes all the
way up until the opener against San
Jose State on Aug. 31 if neither cre-
ates any separation.
He still wanted to make it clear
that the Cardinal are taking aim at a
third straight BCS bowl behind a
bevy of running backs led by Stepfan
Taylor, most starters returning from
the leagues second-best scoring
defense and a more settled coaching
staff than a year ago when he took
over after Jim Harbaugh left for the
San Francisco 49ers.
There was a lot of hype surround-
ing a single player last year, which
was much deserved, Shaw said.
But at the same time, we feel like
weve got some guys coming back
who are some pretty good football
players. We believe were going to
be the team weve always been up
front. We believe were a physical
run team.
What kind of team Cal is might be
the biggest mystery.
Jeff Tedford, entering his 11th sea-
son in Berkeley as the Pac-12s most
tenured coach, needs a turnaround
season after nishing 7-6 and 5-7 in
the last two. If nothing else, maybe a
change of scenery will do some
good.
Andrew Luck
Raiders open camp
NAPA From the fast-paced
practice that ran more than 2 1/2
hours to an emphasis on being on
time to meetings to mandatory
check-ins for
meals, its clear
theres a new
regime in charge
of the Oakland
Raiders at the
start of training
camp.
After years of
being plagued
by a lack of dis-
cipline on and
off the field,
general manager Reggie McKenzie
and coach Dennis Allen are putting
their own stamp on the franchise
that was run one way by late owner
Al Davis for nearly a half-century.
Allen said he wanted the Raiders
to be a tough, smart, disciplined
football team and that process
began with the teams rst training
camp practice on Monday. Allen is
already preaching about body lan-
guage and punctuality in his effort
to turn the Raiders fortunes around.
Theyre real strict on discipline
now as far as showing up to meet-
ings, theyre even making us check
in for lunches and dinners now,
safety Tyvon Branch said.
Theyre trying to change the dis-
cipline factor.
It was denitely needed after a
season when the Raiders set NFL
records with 163 penalties for 1,358
yards and too often missed defen-
sive assignments because of a lack
of focus.
That played a big role in the team
missing the playoffs for a ninth
straight season as the team blew late
leads to Buffalo and Detroit that
ended up costing the Raiders a shot
at the AFC West title.
To win in the National Football
League youve got to learn how to
not beat yourselves, Allen said.
Thats one of the things that causes
you to lose football games. Its my
job to get them to understand that,
and then at the end of the day its the
players jobs to make sure they get it
corrected.
That process was evident through-
out the offseason program and again
at the start of training camp.

The following day, Price proved
her performance wasnt a fluke. In
105-degree heat, Price posted a
55.94, only .004 off a spot in the
finals. Overall, she finished ninth
in the nation.
After she broke 57 (seconds),
she felt really good, Chen said.
Shes highly competitive, there is
no race that Maddy wont give her
all. Shes one of those kids that is
willing to put in the work. As far
as breaking 56, I feel like this is a
monumental one. Not only did she
break it, she broke it twice. In
some ways, I wish the high school
track season was in the fall
because shes at such a high right
now. She now firmly believes she
can break 55.
Breaking 55 seconds by
February 2013 is quite the goal.
But betting against Price right now
is a waste.
I feel like I have a lot of poten-
tial to hit under 55 and to keep
improving my time, Price said.
Im going to work hard next year
to try to get under 55 and hopeful-
ly 54-it this year and by next sum-
mer I want to go to state again and
do really well in the finals. I defi-
nitely hope I can improve.
(Hitting sub-56) boosts my
confidence a little bit but I think
its always good to stay humble
and make sure I can keep lowering
these times, she said. It was real-
ly nice that I ran a 55.85 and then
the next day run a 55.94, that gave
me a little bit of confidence that,
not only can I run a 55 once but I
can hopefully keep running 55s
and even improving my time.
Having confidence in yourself
going into a big race like that is
key. Definitely knowing that you
can win your heat and pushing
yourself to that limit definitely
helped me. And I think itll help
me in the future, just knowing that
I can be up there with the elite
girls.

said after rallying to win the 100-meter back-
stroke Monday. I still cant believe that hap-
pened. I dont even know what to think. I saw
my parents reaction on the screen and I just
started bawling. I cant even think right now.
After nishing up the semis of the 200
freestyle, she hopped out of the pool and
headed to the diving well for a quick warm-
down. She didnt even have time to make it to
the practice pool, not when her bigger event
was coming right up.
Even Phelps was amazed at Franklins
stamina, saying he had never done back-to-
back races that close together at such a major
meet. His quickest turnaround was about a
half-hour.
Shes a racer and she knows what to do,
Phelps said.
Matt Grevers kept the gold medals coming
for the U.S. in rat-a-tat fashion, following up
Franklins win with one of his own in the
mens 100 back. For good measure, Nick
Thoman made it a 1-2 nish for the red, white
and blue.
Rebecca Soni nearly pulled out a third U.S.
gold, rallying furiously on the return leg of the
100 breaststroke. But she couldnt quite catch
blazing Lithuanian Ruta Meilutyte, a gold
medalist at the tender age of 15.
Good thing for the U.S. that Franklin and
the other Americans are coming through.
Phelps missed the podium in his 2012
Olympic debut, and Lochte has turned in two
straight disappointing performances after
opening the games with a dominant win in the
400 individual medley. He nished fourth and
off the podium Monday night in the 200
freestyle, which Frances Yannick Agnel won
by a full body length against a eld with gold
medalists galore.
On Sunday, Lochte anchored the U.S. in the
4x100 free relay, taking over with a seeming-
ly comfortable lead. But Agnel chased him
down on the nal leg, giving France the gold.
Now, another defeat.
I did my best, Lochte said. I guess some-
times you win, sometimes you lose. I gave it
110 percent. Theres probably some things I
messed up on, but you live and learn. (Agnel
is) a great racer. Theres no doubt about it.
Hes quick and he showed it last night and
tonight. Im happy for him. He did good.
Franklin, who was rattled less than two
weeks before the Olympics by the Aurora the-
ater shooting not far from her home, barely
advanced from the 200 free semis. She quali-
ed for Tuesday nights nal with the eighth-
fastest time, but clearly she was saving some-
thing for the race that really mattered.
Shes still got ve more events to go, having
started her Olympics with a relay bronze and
leaving plenty of time to come away from
these games as Americas big star in the post-
Phelps era.
The winningest Olympian ever plans to
retire after these games.
Australias Emily Seebohm, the top quali-
er, led at the turn and was under world-record
pace, but Franklin showed a remarkable n-
ishing kick. With her arms whirling and size-
13 feet pounding the water, the 6-foot-1 swim-
mer passed the Aussie in the nal 25 meters
and lunged toward the wall for a winning time
of 58.33 seconds.
She broke into a big smile but was clearly
exhausted, her head dropping back against the
wall. Seebohm settled for silver in 58.68 and
Japans Aya Terakawa took bronze in 58.83.
You never know until you see that score-
board, so I was just going as fast as I could
until I got my hand on the wall, Franklin said.
It was 110 percent effort, and all the work
paid off.
The 6-foot-8 Grevers pulled off a similar
rally on his return lap, winning the 100 back
in an Olympic-record 52.16 the fifth
straight games, dating to Atlanta in 1996, that
the U.S. men have won the backstroke.
Thoman joined his teammate on the medal
podium at 52.97, a gold-silver nish they were
thinking about all along and reiterated just
before the nal.
David Marsh, Thomans coach, brought it
up right moments before they went out to the
pool, saying 1-2.
SWIM
The Americans (2-0) have won their last 35
straight games in the Olympics and four con-
secutive gold medals while Angola is looking
for its rst victory. The team lost its opener to
Turkey by 22 points meaning African nations
have only won one of their 25 games in the
Olympics since Congo formerly known as
Zaire rst qualied in the 1996 Atlanta
Games.
Nigeria owns the only victory, beating
Korea by four points in 2004.
The Americans had played African teams
twice and routed them both. The U.S. beat
Zaire by 60 points in 1996 and then Mali by
56 at the Beijing Games in 2008.
Angola (0-2) did fare a little better than its
continental neighbors. The team stayed close
to the Americans for the rst quarter, only
trailing by 10 at the end of the period. Then
the U.S. put the game away outscoring the
African country 19-6 in the second period.
Parker hit two reverse lay-ins in the quarter.
The Americans continued the rout in the
second half. The strong crowd which had wit-
nessed some very competitive games all day,
emptied out early in the nal period knowing
the outcome wasnt in doubt.
We decided we want to enjoy the game, we
understood before the difference in the stan-
dard, Angola coach Anibal Moreira said. We
feel a lot of pride to be able to play against
such a team, who are idols for our players. We
hoped to get to 50 points but we didnt suc-
ceed.
Sonia Guadalupe scored 11 points to lead
Angola.
Auriemma decided before the game not to
play center Sylvia Fowles, who has a sore left
foot.
I tweaked it a little bit yesterday in practice
and I gave it a go this morning and it didnt
feel quite right so were just resting it and
playing it safe, Fowles said.
It didnt matter as the 6-foot-4 Parker
looked condent on the oor, demanding the
ball in the post and running the oor for easy
layups.

Solo stands by her tweets
MANCHESTER, England U.S.
womens soccer goalkeeper Hope Solo didnt
back down Monday from her Twitter outburst
against NBC analyst Brandi Chastain, saying
the tweets were her way of expressing her
opinion about the quality
of television announcers.
Solo addressed the mat-
ter briefly on her 31st
birthday during the teams
tour of historic Old
Trafford stadium, where
the Americans will play
North Korea on Tuesday.
She didnt apologize or
express regret, and she
answered only one question about the matter,
declining to address, among other things,
whether a social media rant in the middle of
the Olympics was the proper time and means
to convey her feelings about broadcasters.
Its not about what made me unhappy,
Solo said. Its not about one game. I have my
beliefs that the best commentators and the
best analysts should be analyzing come
Olympics, come World Cups, and its only my
opinion. You can take it or leave it, to be hon-
est, so its my opinion, and I think analysts
and commentators should bring energy and
excitement and passion for the game, and a lot
of knowledge, and I think its important to
help build the game, and I dont think Brandi
has that.
Its just my opinion, and nothing else real-
ly matters, to be honest. What matters is
tomorrows game against North Korea, play-
ing at Old Trafford. The teams excited. Its
my birthday. I dont really care to answer any
other questions about Brandi.
She indeed declined to answer follow-up
questions about the matter, including whether
she has spoken to Chastain.

when the Chinese whipped out ve
big gold stars and held them up in
the shape of their ag.
Why wait?
The Chinese won their second
straight Olympic title in mens gym-
nastics and third and in four games
in a rout Monday, making fools of
everyone who wrote them off after a
dismal performance in qualifying.
We dont have any faults. Thats
our secret to beat the Japanese and
to beat everyone, Zhang
Chenglong said. In preliminaries,
we had a little bit of faults. But
tonight was completely perfect.
Well, almost.
It took ve minutes and a video
review to sort out the silver and
bronze medalists after Japan ques-
tioned the score of three-time world
champion Kohei Uchimura on pom-
mel horse, the last routine. Japan
jumped from fourth to second after
judges revised Uchimuras score,
bumping Britain down to bronze
and Ukraine off the medals podium.
It was the British mens rst team
medal in a century, and it set off rau-
cous celebrations at the O2 Arena.
Even Princes William and Harry
joined in.
To win a medal in your home
games, Ill take that any day,
Kristian Thomas said. We never
actually had the silver in our hands,
so theres no real disappointment.
Tell that to the Japanese, who
were bested by the Chinese yet
again. Japan was the runner-up to
China in Beijing, as well as at the
last four world championships.
And unlike last years world
championships, where the Japanese
had appeared to close the gap on
China, this one wasnt even close.
China nished with 275.997 points,
more than four points better than
Japan.
China now has gone eight years
without losing at a major competi-
tion.
At the very beginning it was
fourth for Japan so I couldnt say
anything. I couldnt think anything,
a somber Uchimura said. I was
thinking, Its fourth, its fourth.
Even after it was changed, I was not
too happy.
The Americans werent all that
happy, either.
Bronze medalists four years ago,
they could practically feel their rst
gold since 1984 after nishing No. 1
in qualifying, with captain Jon
Horton jokingly asking if they could
claim their prizes. But everyone gets
a do-over in team nals, and what-
ever momentum the Americans had
evaporated when Danell Leyva and
John Orozco fell on pommel horse,
their second event.
They wound up fth, six points
behind China and almost two
behind Britain.

No. 1 U.S. takes
down No. 2 Brazil
LONDON The U.S. womens volleyball team defeated
Brazil 3-1 on Monday at the Olympics in an early-round
rematch of the Beijing Games nal won by the Brazilians.
Destinee Hooker had 23 points and Jordan Larson added 18
for the top-ranked Americans, who won 25-18, 25-17, 22-25,
25-21 to improve to 2-0 in pool play at Earls Court.
Sheilla Castro had 15 points for No. 2 Brazil, which was ener-
gized after a third-set victory but lost on Logan Toms oater in
the fourth set. Tom is playing in her fourth Olympics.
I call her the glue, coach Hugh McCutcheon said. She
holds this team together.
Brazil has lost ve straight international matches to the U.S.
The teams are 21-21 in career play.
Larson, a wing spiker making her Olympic debut, hit a oater
to put the Americans up 23-17 in the rst set. She spiked for set
point, with Brazil looking out of sorts.
The U.S. pulled away in the second set with a 7-point run,
capped by Toms spike. Brazil twice held off the U.S. at set
point and had some momentum, until Hookers kill ended it.
Brazil went up 8-3 early in the third, but the Americans ral-
lied for a 16-15 lead on Christa Harmottos block. It was back
and fourth until Harmottos attempt to return Thaisa Menezes
spike went awry.
The result left the Brazilians at 1-1 in the pool.
Now is not the time to think about the game, but to think
about the next steps, Brazilian captain Fabiana Oliveira said,
adding the match might be a preview of the nal.
The Americans took the top spot in the world rankings at the
end of 2011, ending Brazils four-year run at No. 1.
The Brazilians began Olympic play by defeating Turkey in
ve sets.

Ultimate
Body
Challenge
(UBC)
10 Weeks
to the Ultimate
Body
By Joan Lowy
WASHINGTON A young man
talking on a cellphone meanders along
the edge of a lonely train platform at
night. Suddenly he stumbles, loses his
balance and pitches over the side, land-
ing head rst on the tracks.
Fortunately there were no trains
approaching the Philadelphia-area sta-
tion at that moment, because it took the
man several minutes to recover enough
to climb out of danger. But the incident,
captured last year by a security camera
and provided to the Associated Press,
underscores the risks of what govern-
ment ofcials and safety experts say is a
growing problem: distracted walking.
On city streets, in suburban parking
lots and in shopping centers, there is
usually someone strolling while talking
on a phone, texting with his head down,
listening to music, or playing a video
game. The problem isnt as widely dis-
cussed as distracted driving, but the dan-
ger is real.
Reports of injuries to distracted walk-
ers treated at hospital emergency rooms
have more than quadrupled in the past
seven years and are almost certainly
underreported. There has been a spike in
pedestrians killed and injured in trafc
accidents, but there is no reliable data on
how many were distracted by electron-
ics.
We are where we were with cell-
phone use in cars 10 years or so ago. We
knew it was a problem, but we didnt
have the data, said Jonathan Akins,
deputy executive director of the
Governors Highway Safety Association,
which represents state highway safety
ofces.
State and local ofcials are struggling
to gure out how to respond, and in
some cases asking how far government
should go in trying to protect people
from themselves.
In Delaware, highway safety ofcials
opted for a public education campaign,
placing decals on crosswalks and side-
walks at busy intersections urging
pedestrians to Look up. Drivers arent
always looking out for you.
Philadelphia ofcials are drafting a
safety campaign that will be aimed in
part at pedestrians who are looking at
their devices instead of where theyre
going. One of the messages will cer-
tainly be pick your head up I want
to say nitwit, but I probably shouldnt
call them names, said Rina Cutler,
deputy mayor for transportation and
public utilities.
As an April Fools Day joke with a
serious message, Philadelphia ofcials
taped off an e-lane for distracted
pedestrians on a sidewalk outside down-
town ofce buildings.
Some didnt get that it was a joke.
The sad part is we had people who,
once they realized we were going to take
the e-lane away, got mad because they
thought it was really helpful to not have
people get in their way while they were
walking and texting, Cutler said.
When the Utah Transit Authority
adopted an ordinance barring pedestri-
ans from using cellphones, headphones
or other distracting electronic devices
while crossing the tracks of its light rail
system on the streets of Salt Lake City,
subject to a $50 ne, the Legislature
refused to make it a statewide law.
Look, I get distracted all the time,
bristled Utah State Rep. Craig Frank, a
Republican who opposed the proposal.
I have a smartphone, too. Walking on
sidewalks, in stores and malls, and
maybe in a crosswalk sometimes Im
using my cellphone. But I try to stay
Distracted pedestrians
stumble into danger
Reports of injuries to distracted walkers treated at hospital emergency rooms have
more than quadrupled in the past seven years and are almost certainly
underreported. There has been a spike in pedestrians killed and injured in trafc

Judge says Arizonas
abortion ban can take effect
PHOENIX Arizonas ban on abortions starting at 20
weeks of pregnancy is poised to take effect this week after a
federal judge ruled Monday that the new law is constitutional.
U.S. District Judge James Teilborg says the statute may
prompt a few pregnant women who are considering abortion to
make the decision earlier. But he says the law is constitutional
because it doesnt prohibit any women from making the deci-
sion to end their pregnancies.
The ban, set to take effect Thursday, prohibits abortions
starting at 20 weeks of pregnancy except in medical emergen-
cies. Thats a change from the current ban at viability, which
is the ability to survive outside the womb and which is about
24 weeks.
The New York-based Center for Reproductive Rights and
another group led a notice that they would be appealing
Teilborgs decision to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Arizona is one of 10 states to enact types of 20-week bans.

connected to my environment. I never
thought the government needed to cite me for
using my cellphone in a reasonable manner.
Distracted walking bills in the Arkansas,
Illinois and New York legislatures also went
nowhere.
It sounds very ridiculous, said Tia Little,
a pedestrian in downtown Washington. I
mean, its our phone. We should be able to
use it and walk and talk if we choose to, walk
and text or whatever.
The Southeastern Pennsylvania
Transportation Authority, which provided the
video of the man who fell onto the train
tracks, has received reports from bus drivers
and train engineers who say they nearly hit
pedestrians who didnt appear to hear them
sound their horns because they were distract-
ed by their electronic devices, said Jim Fox,
the agencys director of system safety and
risk management.
He said there have been several cases of
people hit and killed by the authoritys trains
in which it appears they were wearing head-
phones or using cellphones while trespassing
on tracks.
A University of Maryland study found 116
cases over six years in which pedestrians
were killed or seriously injured while wear-
ing headphones. In two-thirds of the cases the
victims were men under age 30. Half the
cases involved trains. In a third of the inci-
dents, a warning horn was sounded just
before the accident.
With the smartphone technology these
days and everything at your ngertips, its
almost getting to be an obsession or a com-
pulsion with people, Fox said. You see it in
airports or train stations or malls if theres
any kind of downtime, theyre jumping right
to that phone.
About 1,152 people were treated in hospi-
tal emergency rooms in the U.S. last year for
injuries suffered while walking and using a
cellphone or some other electronic device,
according to the Consumer Product Safety
Commission, which receives annual data
from 100 emergency rooms and extrapolates
the information into a national estimate. But
thats likely an underestimate because
patients may not mention they were using a
cellphone or other device at the time at the
time they were injured, or the doctor or nurse
may neglect to include the information in
their report, said Tom Schroeder, director of
the commissions data systems.
The cases include a 24-year-old woman
who walked into a telephone pole while tex-
ting; a 28-year-old man who was walking
along a road when he fell into a ditch while
talking on a cellphone; a 12-year-old boy
who was looking at a video game when he
was clipped by a pickup truck as he crossed
the street; and a 53-year-old woman who fell
off a curb while texting and lacerated her
face.
One 67-year-old man walking along the
side of a road was hit a by a bicyclist who was
talking on a cellphone as he rode. The pedes-
trian injured a knee.
DANGER
other skilled medical personnel available but
still admitted Holley who they knew was
under the inuence of drugs and suffering
from the effects of substance abuse, according
to the suit.
The big question is whether a facility of
that sort should take in anyone under the inu-
ence. Our consultant says no, said Holleys
attorney, John Hill.
The suit claims the facility failed to address
Holleys condition, give him proper medical
supervision or obtain proper care.
Napa County ofcials said after Holleys
death that an autopsy showed amphetamines,
methamphetamine, methadone, opiates and
possibly cocaine in his system.
Hill said Holleys admission was the facili-
tys rst mistake which was compounded by
insufcient monitoring.
After Holleys death, his mother told news
outlets that she brought her son to the program
after he asked for help and the coroners report
stated she told an employee he had used hero-
in, methadone and methamphetamine. No
medical staff evaluated Holley but he was
checked every half hour for the rst 12 hours.
At one point later in the evening, he reported-
ly told an employee he was not doing well but
the employee reported nding him sleeping
and breathing at 11 p.m. Subsequent checks
noted him in bed but the coroners report said
nobody apparently checked to see if was
breathing.
The next afternoon, Lisa Holley called
Project Ninety to have an employee remind
her son about a court hearing and the employ-
ee reported nding the man unresponsive in
his room.
Holleys death was ruled an accidental over-
dose. Hill said he wasnt aware of Holley hav-
ing any other medical conditions.
Project Ninety Executive Director James
Stansberry did not return an inquiry for com-
ment.
SUIT
lough days for its workers. However, the
city still faces a $4.3 million deficit next
year.
The deficit for FY 2013-14 is projected to
be even higher at $4.6 million.
I cant say thank you because that would
be like thanking the cop who gives you a
ticket, said SMCEA President Robert Fink.
It has been hard on all of us. I dont think
weve ever spent this much time on negotia-
tions.
About 76 percent of the citys expenses are
comprised of salaries and benefits.
Weve cut enough services over the years.
Without this, we would have to cut more
services, Grotte said about the new contract.
The total city budget for FY 2012-13 is
$147.6 million. The general fund budget,
which supports critical services such as fire,
police, parks and recreation and public
works, is set at $82.1 million, up from last
years $78.3 million general fund budget.
The four largest general tax sources for the
city are property tax, sales tax, property
transfer tax and hotel tax, comprising about
70 percent of the citys total revenue.
Property tax is expected to increase 2 per-
cent in FY 2012-13, strictly on pace with
inflation. Property transfer tax is hovering
around $4.5 million annually, far below the
high periods of more than $10 million annu-
ally just more than five years ago. Sales tax is
up by about 11 percent and hotel occupancy
tax revenue is also up by double digits,
according to city staff.
The city now has 517.58 merit positions
and a total of 629.16 full-time equivalent
positions, which includes part-timers and
overtime cost.

CONTRACT
HEALTH 19
By Matthew Perrone
WASHINGTON Genetic test
maker 23andMe is asking the Food
and Drug Administration to
approve its personalized DNA test
in a move that, if successful, could
boost acceptance of technology that
is viewed skeptically by leading
scientists who question its useful-
ness.
23andMe is part of a edgling
industry that allows consumers to
peek into their genetic code for
details about their ancestry and
future health. The companys saliva-
based kits have attracted scrutiny
for claiming to help users detect
whether they are likely to develop
illnesses like breast cancer, heart
disease and Alzheimers.
The biology of how DNA varia-
tions actually lead to certain dis-
eases is still poorly understood, and
many geneticists say such tests are
built on imsy evidence.
For years, the Silicon Valley com-
pany has resisted government regu-
lation, arguing that it simply pro-
vides consumers with information,
not a medical service. But now
company executives say they are
seeking government approval
and the scientic credibility that
comes with it.
Its the next step for us to work
with the FDA and actually say, this
is clinically relevant information
and consumers should work with
their physicians on what to do with
it, said CEO and co-founder Anne
Wojcicki, who is married to Google
co-founder Sergey Brin. Google and
Brin have invested millions in the
privately held company, which is
based in Mountain View.
Wojcicki says the shift in strategy
reects the growing scope of the
companys test kit, which now
measures the risks of developing
more than 115 different diseases.
23andMe said Monday it submit-
ted an initial batch of seven health-
related tests to the FDA for review.
The company plans to submit 100
additional tests in separate install-
ments before the end of the year.
Tests involving family history and
nonmedical traits will not be
reviewed, since they dont fall under
FDA oversight.
Even some of the harshest critics
of the genetic testing industry say
23andMe is taking the right
approach.
Dr. James Evans of University of
North Carolina said he considers
much of the information reported by
23andMe, relatively useless, and
in the realm of entertainment. He
believes patients benet more from
pursuing a healthy lifestyle than
parsing the potential risks of devel-
oping various diseases.
23andMe seeks FDA approval for personal DNA test
The FDA already regulates a variety of genetic tests administered by health
care providers, such as those given to pregnant women to detect cystic
brosis in a developing fetus. But it remains to be seen whether the FDA
will endorse 23andMes commercial approach, which sidesteps doctors
by sending results directly to consumers.

been simultaneously working on solu-
tions that could work with the existing
facilities as well as where to build a new
school.
Among the preferred solutions that
work with the current facilities, the
group has favored offering split-day
kindergarten, relocating kindergarten
and transitional kindergarten throughout
the district to another site, and having
middle school teachers share classroom
and/or ofce space, according to the July
24 meeting notes.
In terms of where to build, the top
contenders include a eld behind Sea
Cloud Park, Boothbay Park, Charter
Square, Edgewater Park and Bowditch
Middle School, according to the July 24
meeting notes. Lastly, other ideas are
still being considered. For example, the
district could build additional oors on
established schools, recongure grades,
build a new middle school and convert
Bowditch into an elementary school,
according to the July 24 meeting notes.
Pros and cons for all ideas were also
included.
The district has been looking for space
for a fourth elementary school in Foster
City for nearly four years now and the
relationship between the district and
council has often been characterized as
contentious as city officials have
repeatedly turned down proposals to
build a school on the 15-acre city-owned
site adjacent to City Hall or in any of the
citys several parks.
In March, the board meeting had a
packed house with those opposing a new
school at the shopping center at 1050-
1064 Shell Blvd. in Foster City known
as Charter Square. The six-acre site was
unpopular with some members of the
public. As a result, the joint city-district
effort of SCORE was put together in
hopes of nding a suitable option.
On Thursday, a recommendation is
supposed to go to the Board of Trustees.
At the same meeting, the board will vote
on using Quattrocchi Kwok Architects to
create the project description.
Paying for a new school has been put
on hold twice over the last school year.
Purchasing land is to be covered using
funds from Measure L a 2008 $175
million bond measure. Measure Ls bond
language allows for assistance with
overcrowding issues. Construction costs
will most likely be covered with a new,
separate bond measure.
At rst, it appeared the district would
have a $25 million bond measure on the
November 2011 ballot for that purpose.
As proposed, the bond would have been
paid for by Foster City residents only.
The board pulled the measure in August,
citing a desire to conduct environmental
and nancial studies on a possible site
before asking for funds to build the
school.
The board then came back with the
$130 million bond measure it was con-
sidering putting on the June ballot. A
larger bond was considered since the
district as a whole has unmet needs from
the $330 million outlined in the 2007-08
facilities master plan. The board opted
against putting the measure on the ballot
given the public concerns expressed at
the March meeting.
Also on Thursday, the board will con-
sider calling a special meeting Aug. 9 at
which it could vote to place a bond
measure on the November ballot. The
deadline to place a measure on the
November ballot is Aug. 10, according
to the County Elections Ofce.
SCORE meets 6 p.m. tonight at the
District Ofce, 1170 Chess Drive. The
Board of Trustees meets 7 p.m.
Thursday, Aug. 2 at the District Ofce.

SCHOOL
Allowing people options to t their
schedule is key, said Moriarty, who
added, Time is the most precious gift
you can give.
Oscar Perez, store operations manager
for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul of
San Mateo County, agreed. Hes been
working with St. Vincent de Paul for 12
years and really enjoys being able to
work with others. There are even oppor-
tunities for those who are developmen-
tally disabled and those who need work
experience to get back on their feet.
Perez noted often people dont see the
connection to working in a store and
helping others. Many people in the com-
munity are given vouchers for things
they need, like clothing, to use in the
stores, he said. Then, paying customers
help generate revenue to cover the costs
of services. So, by giving an hour to help
sort donations, a person really is helping
their surrounding neighborhood, he said.
Its a good social place for people,
Perez said about volunteering in the
stores. You get to meet people from all
economic backgrounds.

Society of St. Vincent de Paul of San
Mateo County, including volunteer
opportunities, visit www.svdp-sanmateo-
co.org or call 373-0623. Donations of
clothing and furniture are also always
welcome.

SERVICES
Ross, Jo-Ann Sockolov and Alvin
Zachariah have all expressed interest in
the seat. Thus far, none of the candidates
have qualied for the ballot.
Zachariah, who is listed as a primary
care physician, was the rst to le.
Atherton resident Sockolov, who serves
as the executive director for the Redwood
City Education Foundation, recently
added her name to the ballot. Sockolov
said she has supported education since
becoming a room mother, or main class-
room volunteer, and is passionate about
the opportunities people have through
public education. A product of public edu-
cation, Sockolov would like to focus on
advocating for those positive opportuni-
ties even in tough budget times.
Ross, who ran for the San Mateo
County Community College District
Board of Trustees in November,
announced his candidacy via email
Sunday morning. Ross, an educational
nonprot director who lives in Menlo
Park, wrote he would le to run this week.
Ross wrote that more opportunities for
students, teachers and principals are need-
ed. The board can play a role convening
the countys two dozen school districts,
starting with increased efforts to consoli-
date services so more dollars go directly
to the classroom, he wrote.
Four seats on the Board of Education
total held by Rod Hsiao, Jim Cannon,
Ted Lempert and Morantes are up for
re-election. So far, all incumbents except
Morantes have veried another run for
ofce. Morantes had an unsuccessful bid
for the District Four seat on the Board of
Supervisors in June.
Cannon who represents area ve,
which includes the Burlingame,
Hillsborough City, Millbrae and San
Bruno Park elementary school districts,
and parts of San Mateo Union and
Lempert who represents area six,
which includes the Belmont-Redwood
Shores, Redwood City and San Carlos
elementary school districts, and part of
Sequoia both ran without opposition in
2008. Hsiao, who was challenged in 2008,
represents area four, which includes the
San Mateo-Foster City School District
and parts of the San Mateo Union High
School District.
The ling deadline is Aug. 10.
Candidates have until Aug. 15 if an
incumbent decides not to run.

SEAT
TUESDAY, JULY 31, 2012
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Try not to be overly exact-
ing with or too demanding of subordinates. Theyll
perform far better and produce much more if you
minimize your supervision and nitpicking.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Theres a possibility
that you could be unreasonably stingy with persons
who have treated you generously in the past. Be-
having in such a manner is the wrong way to repay
such kindness.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You could be inclined to
postpone important things that require immediate
attention. If you stall too long, the day will be over
before you get anything done.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- To a large degree, the
end results of an important matter will be deter-
mined by the way you anticipate the consequences
of your actions. Think and act positively, and youll
come out ahead.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- It is an excellent
time to analyze your spending patterns in search of
budgetary holes. If you truly want to make improve-
ments, youll view things realistically.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Under most circum-
stances, you are not the type of person who easily
backs away from a challenge. However, if things look to
be too diffcult currently, it might be better to hang back.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be helpful to others
whenever you can, but be cognizant of your own
needs and limitations as well. If you take on more
than you can handle, no one will beneft.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- There are times when
we probe too deeply into others personal affairs
and we learn things wed rather not know. Dont let
your curiosity get out of hand and create this kind
of situation.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You shouldnt have to
be told to be extremely tactful if you fnd yourself in
an involvement with someone whose support you
badly need. This could be shaky ground for you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Adopting a negative
attitude regarding a distasteful but necessary task
would only compound matters. Grit your teeth and
get the job done.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The temptation to take
a huge fnancial risk might be rather pronounced.
Unfortunately, Lady Luck isnt likely to back you up in
this type of speculation.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Be open-minded to any
advice offered you, but dont be unduly infuenced by
persons who always view things negatively. Make up
your own mind.
