With housing costs rising in
San Mateo County, those in the
lowest income groups arent the
only ones struggling to pay rent
or buy a home.
Some residents fall in a gap in
which they arent low-income
enough to qualify for special hous-
ing programs but are also not
earning quite enough to live com-
fortably in the Bay Area. As a
result, some nd themselves fac-
ing tough housing decisions.
Beth LeBlanc, a scal ofce spe-
cialist with the San Mateo County
Parks Department, moved from
San Jose to Redwood City two and
a half years ago. She and her hus-
band make a combined income of
$72,000 and are currently renting.
We downsized from a three-bed-
room to two-bedroom and were a
family of ve, LeBlanc said. We
have good jobs, but were scared
to even attempt to move because
rent has gone up so much. Weve
considered moving out of the area,
but were trying to factor in the
commute. Its better for us to just
live where we work, even though
its crammed and uncomfortable.
At least were spending time with
our kids and have secure, safe
jobs.

Brown: Judges
ruling wont halt
high-speed rail
Agency signs contract
for initial section of track
No charges filed
against limousine
driver or company
By Juliet Williams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry
Brown said Monday that a judges
ruling that
Ca l i f o r n i a s
$68 billion
high-speed rail
plan has not
followed the
terms approved
by voters will
not stop con-
struction of the
project, which
is among his top priorities.
The ruling raises some questions
about the plan, but it did not stop
anything, the Democratic gover-
nor told reporters during a Lake
Tahoe summit.
Theres a lot of room for inter-
pretation, and I think the outcome
will be positive, Brown said of
the ruling late Friday by
Sacramento County Superior Court
Judge Michael Kenny.
The ruling came just hours after
the California High-Speed Rail
Authority signed a nearly $1 bil-
lion contract authorizing a consor-
tium led by Tutor Perini to design
and build the rst 30 miles of track
from Madera to Fresno, rail author-
ity board Chairman Dan Richard
said.

The re that killed ve women in
a limousine on the San Mateo-
Hayward Bridge in May was started
by a failure of the vehicles sus-

ference yesterday.

sengers were seated on their way to

The driver, Orville Brown, could
not have foreseen the accident and
was not on his cellphone at the
time of the May 4 tragedy, said
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Wagstaffe said no charges would
be filed against Brown nor the
company he worked for Limo Stop
Incorporated.
It was a well detailed, complete-
ly investigated event and carefully
documented. Some tragedies are

Widow who lost $280k
home over $6 gets hearing
HARRISBURG, Pa. A western
Pennsylvania woman whose
$280,000 home was sold at auction
over $6.30 in unpaid interest won a
court decision Monday allowing her a
fresh opportunity to argue she should
not lose her home.
Commonwealth Court ruled it was a
mistake for a Beaver County judge to
rule against Eileen Battisti without
rst holding an evidentiary hearing.
This was particularly inappropriate
because the outstanding liability was
small and the value of the home was far
greater than the amount paid by (the)
purchaser, wrote Judge Mary Hannah
Leavitt.
Leavitt said the state Supreme Court
has emphasized that due process
under both the United States and
Pennsylvania Constitutions must be
satisfied whenever the government
subjects a citizens property to forfei-
ture for nonpayment of taxes.
Battistis lawyer says she still lives
in her Aliquippa home, even though it
was sold nearly two years ago to S.P.
Lewis of Imperial for about $116,000.
Messages seeking comment werent
returned on Monday by Lewis and his
lawyer, or by the Beaver County solic-
itors ofce.
Battisti purchased the home outside
Pittsburgh in 1999 with her husband,
who managed their nances. She paid
off the property after he died in 2004
with proceeds from his life insurance
policy.
The opinion by Leavitt said Battisti
had difculty taking over the nancial
matters, in part because of a series of
personal setbacks. She fell behind on
various tax bills, but believed she had
paid them all off, even though some
were late.
The $6.30 penalty was added to her
tax bill in 2009, which grew with
interests and costs to $235 by late
2011, when the home was sold at auc-
tion. She appealed the sale to county
court, which ruled in May 2012 that
she received all notices required by
law. A month later, Judge C. Gus
Kwindis ordered that the Beaver
County Tax Claim Bureau could not
issue a deed to Lewis while Battisti
appealed.
An attorney for Lewis offered to set-
tle the dispute last year for $160,000
from Battisti. David Holland wrote in
a court brief that Battisti did have
notice of the tax sale, and that she
made arguments in the appeal that
legal procedures should not permit.
Battistis lawyer, Ed Santillan, said
his client was elated by the courts
decision.
The facts are clear that she didnt
receive adequate notice and there was a
lot of intervening circumstances that
the court should have taken into
account, Santillan said.
Phillies Triple-A
affiliate offers free funeral
ALLENTOWN, Pa. From the
minor-league baseball club that gave
you the worlds rst urinal gaming
system comes a promotion thats
more six feet under than it is over the
top: One lucky fan will win a free
funeral package.
The Triple A affiliate of the
Philadelphia Phillies, the Lehigh
Valley IronPigs, plans to announce
the winner of its latest, and perhaps
most bizarre, fan giveaway at Tuesday
nights game in Allentown.
Minor-league clubs are notorious for
the wacky promotions they run to
help put fans in the seats, and the
IronPigs are no exception. Earlier this
year, the team boasted about the new
gaming system it had installed in
mens restrooms at Coca-Cola Park.
But a free funeral? Talk about bury-
ing the competition.
Its one of our best out-of-the-box
promotions. Or maybe I should say
one of our best in-the-box promo-
tions, quipped IronPigs General
Manager Kurt Landes.
Fans had to submit an essay describ-
ing their ideal funeral and explain why
they deserved a free one. More than 50
essays were turned in.
Some of the contestants took a
lighthearted approach. Afan of movie
Westerns wrote how his funeral would
feature the William Tell Overture and
a photo of the Lone Ranger.

South San Francisco police arrested an
Oakland woman Sunday for pimping after
conducting a sting operation at a local
hotel.
Police made a date with an escort who
was soliciting for prostitution on a website
and were directed by the escort to a hotel on
Mitchell Avenue. Police made contact with
the 24-year-old escort and a second woman.
Police found evidence of a prostitution
operation in the possession of the escort
and then were able to identify the second
woman, Angela Denise Gospel, as the
escorts pimp.
Police say further investigation revealed
the escort was beaten at least once and
repeatedly threatened and coerced into con-
tinuing to work as a prostitute for the nan-
cial benefit of Gospel, a 25-year-old
Oakland woman.
Gospel was booked into county jail on
charges of human trafcking and pimping.
The victim was provided services by a local
resource center that helps victims of human
trafcking, according to police.
Since 2011, the South San Francisco
Police Department has dismantled seven sex
trafcking operations and Gospels arrest
marks the third human trafcking investiga-
tion by the department this year alone.

SACRAMENTO A bill headed to the
governors desk will allow voters to nd out
if their mail-in ballots are actually counted.
SB589 by Democratic state Sen. Jerry Hill
of San Mateo would require county ofcials
to establish a system allowing vote-by-
mail voters to learn if their ballot was
counted and, if it was not, why that is.
Democratic Assemblyman Kevin Mullin
of San Mateo told his colleagues that the
bill he co-sponsored would require registrars
to notify voters so they can address the
problem in future elections.
About half those who voted in
Californias 2012 general election, 6.7 mil-
lion people, did so by mail.
SB589 received unanimous support in the
Assembly on Monday and will be sent to
Gov. Jerry Brown.
Bill would increase
penalties for fake 911 calls
SACRAMENTO People who make fake
911 calls would be subject to paying the
costs of mobilizing emergency responders
under a bill that is close to passing the state
Legislature.
The Assembly on Monday approved
SB333 by Sen. Ted Lieu, which would add a
ne of up to $10,000 to cover the costs of
the emergency mobilization.
Under current law, the misdemeanor penal-
ty for making a false 911 call is $1,000 and
up to a year in county jail. The crime
becomes a felony if someone is injured.
Bill gives youthful
offenders second chance
SACRAMENTO Criminals serving
long prison sentences for offenses they
committed as teenagers would have an earli-
er chance for freedom under a bill working
its way through the Legislature.
The bill by Sen. Loni Hancock, D-
Berkeley, expands on legislation signed
into law last year that gives a second chance
to inmates who committed murder before
they turned 18 and were sentenced to life
without parole.
Hancocks bill covers other offenders and
requires the Board of Parole Hearings to give
great weight to the diminished culpability
of juveniles and to signs that they have
matured in prison.
Bill would let California mail
voters learn if ballot counted

Have you ever
attended a funeral
or memorial service
and felt ill-at-ease,
uncomfortable or
awkward when
talking to the family
of the deceased? Have you ever stumbled
through your words and condolences
because you just didnt know what to say or
how to say it? Have you even decided to not
approach the family for fear of saying the
wrong thing or making a fool of yourself? If
so you are not alone. Many people in this
situation want to provide some kind of
comfort to the immediate family, but just
dont have the verbal tools to do so in an
assuring manner.
Learning Funeral Etiquette can be
useful. Using the right words at the right
time is an appropriate way to show that you
care, and in situations like this can be of
great help when provided correctly.
Standard condolences such as I am sorry
for your loss have become routine and
generic. A personalized phrase can be
welcomed such as John touched many
lives or I will miss John. DO NOT ask
the cause of death, offer advice or make
comments that would diminish the
importance of the loss such as Oh, youre
young and can marry again.
Other ways to demonstrate your support
include: 1. Listening. The family may feel
the need to express their anxiety, and giving
them that opportunity can be therapeutic; 2.
An embrace. This can show that you care
without the need for words; 3. Offering your
services. This shows the family that you are
willing to give extra time for them: Please
let me know if there is anything I can do to
help (be prepared to act if needed).
Even if you dont feel confident in
approaching the family there are other ways
to show that you care: 1. Attending the
funeral and signing the Memorial Book will
show the family that you took the time to be
there in support; 2. Dressing appropriately
for the funeral will demonstrate your efforts
to prepare for this special occasion (dark
colors are no longer a requisite for funerals,
but dressing in a coat, tie, dress or other
attire that youd wear to any special event
are considered a way of showing you care);
3. In certain cases friends are invited to
stand up and offer BRIEF personal feelings.
Prior to the funeral write a few key notes
and reflections which will help you organize
your thoughts. Even if there is no
opportunity to speak before a group you
may have a chance to offer your thoughts to
the family following the ceremony; 4. A
personalized card or note will help you
arrange your words better and can be kept
by the family. If you dont have their
mailing address you can send your envelope
to the funeral home and they will forward it
to the next of kin; 5. Providing flowers is a
long time tradition, or making a charitable
donation in the deceaseds memory will give
the family a strong sense of your regards; 6.
If appropriate a brief phone call can show
your immediate concern, but generally this
should be avoided to give the family the
privacy they may need.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)

SACRAMENTO A federal judge
approved a request from California and fed-
eral officials on Monday to force-feed
inmates if necessary as a statewide prison
hunger strike entered its seventh week.
Ofcials say they fear for the welfare of
nearly 70 inmates who have refused all
prison-issued meals since the strike began
July 8 over the holding of gang leaders and
other violent inmates in solitary conne-
ment that can last for decades.
They are among nearly 130 inmates in
six prisons who were refusing meals. When
the strike began it included nearly 30,000
of the 133,000 inmates in California pris-
ons.
Prison policy is to let inmates starve to
death if they have signed legally binding
do-not-resuscitate (DNR) requests. But state
corrections ofcials and a federal receiver
who controls inmate medical care received
blanket authority from U.S. District Judge
Thelton Henderson of San Francisco to feed
inmates who may be in failing health. The
order includes those who recently signed
requests that they not be revived.
Henderson oversees the ongoing lawsuit
over inmates medical care. The filing
Monday came as prison officials and
inmates attorneys argued over whether
strikers should be allowed to voluntarily
begin a liquid diet.
Patients have a right to refuse medical
treatment. They also have a right to refuse
food, said Joyce Hayhoe, a spokeswoman
for the receivers ofce.
However, If an inmate gets to the point
where he cant tell us what his wishes are,
for instance if hes found unresponsive in
his cell, and we dont have a DNR, were
going to get nourishment into him. Thats
what doctors do. Theyre going to follow
their medical ethics, Hayhoe said. Wed
take any and all measures to sustain their
life.

SAN DIEGO Aman who died in a
shootout with FBI agents after kidnap-
ping a 16-year-old girl and killing her
mother and brother named a member of
the victims family as his life insurance
beneciary, a spokesman for the mans
family said Monday.
James Lee DiMaggio left $112,000 to
Hannah Andersons paternal grand-
mother, said Andrew Spanswick. He did-
nt know why but believes it was for the
benet of Hannah, the girl abducted by
DiMaggio.
Hannah was rescued in the FBI
shootout on Aug. 10 in the Idaho wilder-
ness and returned home to San Diego.
DiMaggio, 40, had been like an uncle
to the Anderson children and the fathers
best friend.
DiMaggio named Bernice Anderson as
the sole beneciary of his employer-
issued life insurance policy in 2011,
substituting her for his sister Lora
Robinson, the lone survivor of his
immediate family, Spanswick said.
DiMaggio lived with Bernice
Anderson for about two years before
buying a house in 2009 in Boulevard,
about 65 miles east of San Diego,
Spanswick said.

STATE/NATION 7

WASHINGTON Minority and
low-income parents are more likely
to see serious problems in their
schools from low expectations
to bullying to out-of-date technolo-
gy and textbooks than those
who are afuent or white, according
to an Associated Press-NORC
Center for Public Affairs Research
Poll.
Overall impressions of the
nations schools and teachers are
similarly positive among all
groups of parents, but deep demo-
graphic differences emerge in the
details of how parents see teachers,
schools and even their own roles in
their childrens education.
The divisions fall along the
familiar fault lines of income, edu-
cation and race that drive so much of
American life. In many cases, its as
though parents are looking at two
very different sets of schools in this
country.
Most parents say the school their
child attends is high-quality and
rate their childrens teachers posi-
tively. White parents are only
slightly more likely than others to
give their childs school high
marks, and parents of all races give
their local schools similar ratings
for preparing students for college,
the workforce, citizenship and life
as an adult.
A majority of parents say their
children are receiving a better edu-
cation than the one they received,
but blacks and Hispanics feel more
strongly than whites that this is the
case. The poll also shows minori-
ties feel they have a greater inu-
ence over their childrens education.
And the ways parents assess
school quality and the problems
they see as most deeply affecting
their childs school vary greatly by
parents race, education and income
level.
Sean Anderson, 30, whose chil-
dren will be in the third and fth
grades in Waxahachie, Texas, this
fall, says their schools are probably
ne compared with others near him
in Dallas, but he worries their educa-
tion isnt as good as it could be.
I dont know. Compared to the
kids in the U.K.? Probably not,
Anderson said.
Schools in many ways are being
parents, role models, providing
after-school care. Especially middle
schools; theyre babysitting
because theyre providing after-
school care, said John Dalton, a
49-year-old father of two from
Canandaigua, N.Y, who teaches
high school English.
Dalton acknowledged his Finger
Lakes-region town is afuent and
said money isnt determining
whether the students succeed or fail.
But he said he would like his son
Patricks public Canandaigua
Academy to spend more time on rig-
orous studies.
The focus isnt really on learn-
ing, its on so many different
things, and the social aspect has
taken over for so many of our stu-
dents, he said.
When asked about problems fac-
ing students, parents from house-
holds earning less than $50,000 a
year were more worried than parents
making more than $100,000. For
example, among less afuent fami-
lies, 52 percent said bullying was a
problem and 47 percent worried
about too little parental involve-
ment. Among wealthier parents,
those numbers were 18 percent and
29 percent.
Poll: Race and income
divide views of schools
Parents from wealthier families
were less likely than those from less
afuent ones to see bullying, low
parental involvement, low test
scores,low expectations and out-of-
date textbooks as serious problems.
Parents with a college degree
point to unequal school funding as
the top problem facing education,
while parents without a college
degree point to low expectations for
students as the biggest challenge.
Black and Hispanic parents are
more apt than white parents to see
per-student spending,the quality of
school buildings and the availability
of support resources as important
drivers of school quality.

WASHINGTON Fresh from a
weeklong vacation, President
Barack Obama has to confront
such issues as the crisis in Egypt
and federal spending before get-
ting back out on the road to sell
his economic proposals.
Obama returned Sunday night
from the Massachusetts island of
Marthas Vineyard. On Thursday,
the president sets out on a two-day
bus trip through upstate New York
and Pennsylvania to lay out ideas to
help make a college education more
affordable for the middle class.
Stops include the State
University of New York at Buffalo
and Henninger High School in
Syracuse. On Friday, Obama plans
to answer questions at a town hall-
style event at SUNY-Binghamton
before a stop at Lackawanna
College in Scranton, Pa. He is to
be joined there by Vice President
Joe Biden, a native of the north-
eastern Pennsylvania city.
Obama has a private meeting
Monday with various financial
regulators to discuss ongoing
efforts to strengthen the nancial
system, including the implemen-
tation of the Dodd-Frank law
revamping the nations nancial
system and the Consumer
Protection Act.
Obama spoke publicly just once
during his vacation, against the
violence in Egypt that left scores
of people dead. The White House is
currently reconsidering all U.S.
assistance to Egypt, and will
consider additional steps as we
deem necessary, National
Security Council spokeswoman
Caitlin Hayden said Sunday.

FORTMEADE, Md. Army Pfc. Bradley
Manning should spend 60 years in prison
because he betrayed the U.S. by giving
classified material to WikiLeaks, a prose-
cutor said Monday.
The soldiers defense attorney didnt rec-
ommend a specific punishment, but sug-
gested any prison term shouldnt exceed 25
years because the classification of some of
the documents Manning leaked expires in
25 years.
Defense attorney David Coombs said
Manning, who was 21 when he enlisted in
2007, had limited experience in life and in
the military. His youthful idealism con-
tributed to his belief that he could change
the way the world viewed the wars in Iraq
and Afghanistan, and all future wars, by
leaking the secret files, Coombs said.
He had pure intentions at the time that
he committed his offenses, Coombs said.
At that time, Pfc. Manning really, truly,
genuinely believed that this information
could make a difference.
Manning faces up to 90 years in prison,
but Capt. Joe Morrow
only asked the judge to
sentence him to 60.
Morrow did not say dur-
ing closing arguments
of the court-martial why
prosecutors were not
seeking the maximum
punishment.
A military judge con-
victed Manning last
month of 20 offenses,
including six violations of the Espionage
Act and five counts of stealing protected
information.
Hes been convicted of serious crimes,
Morrow said. He betrayed the United
States and for that betrayal, he deserves to
spend the majority of his remaining life in
confinement.
Coombs said the governments proposed
sentence means the prosecution is only
interested in punishment having
Manning rotting in a jail cell and does
not include the element of rehabilitation.
He urged the judge to hand down a sentence
that allows him to have a life one day.
The judge, Col. Denise Lind, said she
will begin deliberating the punishment
Tuesday.
The prosecutors request for 60 years
likely reflects their view that Mannings
offenses were less egregious than if he had
specifically sought out foreign agents and
given them information, said Michael
Navarre, a former Navy judge advocate in
private practice in Washington.
The government was unable to show that
Manning knew the documents would get to
al-Qaida, and Manning has said he only
leaked information that he believed would
not be harmful.
Retired Army Col. Lisa Windsor, a mili-
tary lawyer in private practice in Albany,
N.Y., said prosecutors asked for what they
likely consider a realistic sentence.
Besides, she said, 60 years in prison is
pretty horrible.
The 25-year-old native of Crescent,
Okla., leaked more than 700,000 docu-
ments, including Iraq and Afghanistan bat-
tlefield reports and State Department diplo-
matic cables, while working in early 2010
as an intelligence analyst in Iraq. He also
leaked video of a 2007 U.S. Apache heli-
copter attack in Baghdad that killed at least
nine people, including a Reuters news pho-
tographer and his driver.

Miranda arrived Monday in Rio de Janeiro,
where he lives with Greenwald.

was going to write much more aggressively
than before about government snooping.

LONDON British agents oversaw the
destruction of an unspecied number of the
Guardian newspapers hard drives in an
apparent bid to keep the fruit of Edward
Snowdens leaks safe from Chinese spies,
the papers editor said Monday.
Alan Rusbridger made the claim in an
opinion piece published on the Guardians
website, saying that a pair of staffers from
British eavesdropping agency GCHQ moni-
tored the process in what he called one of
the more bizarre moments in the Guardians
long history.
He said the hard drives were torn apart in
the basement of the Guardians north
London office with two GCHQ security
experts overseeing the destruction ... just to
make sure there was nothing in the mangled
bits of metal which could possibly be of any
interest to passing Chinese agents.

ISLAMABAD Pakistans prime minis-
ter reiterated Monday an offer of peace talks
with militants in the countrys northwest
who have waged a bloody campaign against
the government and so far rejected any talk of
negotiations.
But Nawaz Sharif also held out the option
of new military operations to root out the
militants operating near the northwestern
border with Afghanistan.
The comments came in Sharifs rst tele-
vised address to the coun-
try since taking ofce on
June 5. The prime minister
won a third term in ofce
in part by promising to
hold talks with militants
to end the years of ght-
ing that have plagued the
country.
But then the militants
rejected the new govern-
ments offer after an American drone attack
killed the Pakistani Talibans second-in-
charge. Ever since, the government has
struggled to articulate a new policy as mili-
tants have continued to carry out deadly
attacks across the country. Sharif said he
wanted to extend an invitation of dialogue
to those elements which unfortunately have
taken the course of extremism.
The government has got more than one
option to cope with the problem of terror-
ism, but wisdom requires taking such a course
in which no more innocent lives are
spoiled, he said. Sharif left open the option
of new military operations saying that the
strife could end either through negotiations
or with the use of full state power.

OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
Los Angeles Times
I
n California (and elsewhere), immi-
grants have long been targeted by
predatory lawyers and consultants
who exploit their clients lack of English
and status as noncitizens, charging exorbi-
tant fees and in some cases failing to do
the work expected of them. With dramatic
changes to immigration laws looming in
Washington, some states are already antici-
pating an increase in scams and victims.
In California, Assemblywoman Lorena
Gonzalez (D-San Diego) and Assemblyman
Kevin de Leon (D-Los Angeles), with the
help of the California Bar Assn., have
introduced legislation to protect immi-
grants from unscrupulous lawyers who
commit fraud. Thats a good idea, given
that immigration fraud is among the top 10
issues the L.A. County Department of
Consumer Affairs deals with.
Unfortunately, the bill fails to adequately
address the problem and should be shelved,
at least for now.
AB 1159 would require immigration
attorneys to deposit clients retainers into
trust accounts and would prohibit them
from collecting any further payments until
their cases are led with federal authorities.
Additionally, it would prohibit those attor-
neys from soliciting clients or taking
money to begin the legalization process
before Congress approves immigration
reform legislation.
Those provisions are ne, but the bill
would also require attorneys to carry mal-
practice coverage or post bonds of
$100,000. That sounds like a sensible
approach until you consider that many lone
practioners reputable lawyers, not scam-
mers would be forced to increase their
fees dramatically to pay for such bonds and
other mandates imposed under the bill.
That, in turn, would likely drive up the cost
of legitimate legal representation and push
more immigrants into the arms of notarios,
who are not lawyers and who too often
promise to provide legal assistance at dis-
count rates but end up ling frivolous
paperwork damaging to cases.
The bill also requires attorneys to pro-
vide non-English speaking clients with
ofcial translations of any contracts.
Surely, clients should be informed of what
they are signing in a language they under-
stand. But that can be achieved in far less
expensive ways. Another onerous provi-
sion would require attorneys to provide
clients written status reports every two
months detailing what work has been done.
Lawyers are obligated to keep clients
informed, and most do. But requiring writ-
ten updates would only drive up costs.
There is still time, however, for lawmak-
ers to rethink their approach. Congress is
unlikely to approve an immigration bill
before October, if at all. And any new law
is unlikely to kick in for at least a year.
The Legislature ought to use that time to
devise new legislation that protects immi-
grants without driving up fees prohibitive-
l y.
In the meantime, if the state bar and the
Legislature are concerned about new scams,
they ought to consider far more limited leg-
islation that bans attorneys from receiving
fees in anticipation of immigration reform.
Obamas inaction in Egypt
Editor,
For reasons best known only to them,
the Muslim Brotherhood is on the rampage
against Coptic Christians in Egypt.
Atrocities against Christians occurred
repeatedly during the short reign of
deposed President Mohammad Morsi.
President Barack Obamas utter inaction
in defense of these helpless civilians
seems to show he is either sitting on the
fence or supporting the Muslim
Brotherhood. While the Obama administra-
tion says it deplores the violence as we all
do, that should not prevent it from point-
ing out that there is no conceivable justi-
cation for the burning of churches and their
occupants by Muslim mobs.
President Obama indirectly, if not direct-
l y, instigated a Muslim Brotherhood
takeover of Egypt following his 2009
speech at Cairo University that ultimately
triggered the uprising against former presi-
dent Mubarak. Instead of addressing
Egypts monumental economic problems,
Mubaraks successor, Morsi, embarked on
the Islamication of Egypt as the Muslim
Brotherhoods stooge. He elevated Muslim
Brotherhood members to top positions and
violent attacks against the military in
Sinai went unabated. Thats arguably why
the army removed him.
With the Muslim Brotherhood openly
taking it out on the Christians, President
Obamas failure to protest Muslim violence
against Christians portrays spinelessness,
or worse, taking sides against the victims.
If the United States is to set a moral exam-
ple, we should be leading the condemna-
tion against attacks on defenseless Coptic
Christians.

Saving the planet
Editor,
Anumber of city councils passed plastic
bag bans. In their haste, they might have
overlooked a far more effective way to
save the planet: changing the packaging
for shampoos! The plastics from these
bottles likewise last forever in a landfill
or in the great garbage patch in the ocean.
Yuck! Washing hair also wastes water.
Without hair, shower time could be reduced
by 45 seconds or more. That will save 16
billion gallons a year in a state of 38 mil-
lion. Saving water also saves energy for
water distribution and treatment. While
plastic bags have many uses, such as lin-
ing trash bins, your hair offers little utili-
ty: Asimple brimmed hat blocks UV bet-
ter. In fact, without hair, you will have
fewer clogged sewerage pipes, reducing
maintenance cost for families and cities.
Better yet, without a full head of lustrous
hair, you can avoid hurting the feelings of
people to whom nature is less generous.
Next time your local politicos consider a
bag ban, ask them to lead by example and
start with something more ecologically
effective. Ask them what is more impor-
tant: looking good or doing the right
thing; Ask them to shave it, or shove it.

HSR is violating the law
Editor,
High-speed rail is violating the law. That
is a new one! Typical government and pub-
lic ofcials attitude. Lets spend the money
and change the rules and laws on the y; it
always works. Why would you want to
spend years of planning and making sure
the taxpayer gets value for money if you
just can bolt out into the light without
knowing what is front or back? The cart in
front of the horse is another brilliant
example of project management, duciary
responsibilities and cautionary spending.
It is great for some of the guys to get their
name on the rst HSR train and perhaps
having one of the stations named after
them. In the meantime, to hell with the
taxpayer. This project must be stopped,
even after we have spend almost a billion
dollars on, well, things they needed to
start. You know: business cards, manage-
ment digs, paying for committees that
have meetings in exotic places, learning to
dance the Conga (that is really important)
and some spending money too. Come to
think of it, I bet Mr. Brown could get his
name on any high-speed train in China,
just with another stroke of his famous pen.

Tour of jury duty
D
uty calls. Unfortunately, when the
call is jury duty its about as wel-
come as a friends persistent drunk
dialing in the wee hours. For reasons
beyond my comprehension some sort of
smiting by the civic duty gods perhaps
jury duty comes calling
every two years like
clockwork. Others I
know claim to rarely or
outright never get a
summons. On the other
end of the spectrum, I
can expect that letter
from the court like
clockwork every two
years when I again
become eligible.
And I can anticipate not wanting to go.
Dont get me wrong; I believe in the jury
system. I believe every person has to partic-
ipate in the process for it to work properly.
I believe it can be an eye-opening experi-
ence for those sitting in the box and the
chance of a fair trial for those whose case is
being weighed.
I also believe it ironic that the common
reason I try to get out of jury duty in my
home county is because Im needed at work
in San Mateo County often sitting in a
courtroom. Unfortunately, my job covering
the courts isnt enough to qualify me for
time actually served which brings me back
to my latest tour of the judicial system.
An hour after reporting for jury duty and I
still hadnt dreamed up a valid or at least
convincing excuse for why I couldnt serve.
Not so for the middle-aged woman who
teetered in on 6-inch metal spike heels, a
black gathered mini skirt and shirt more
suited for sweaty night clubbing than
thoughtful deliberating. She tried checking
in with the clerk who said shed have to
return the next morning. The time was 9:30
a.m., way past the 8 a.m. start time, and it
was simply too late for that day, the clerk
explained.
But I cant tomorrow. I work, the woman
said.
Well what day would work for you? the
surprisingly patient clerk asked.
Im free Sunday, the woman said with nary
a hint of sarcasm.
Youve got to be kidding, the clerk
replied. Id been thinking the exact same
thing from the moment I spotted the
womans attire.
But wait the clerk lled out some form
and handed it to the woman who left. Had
the Sunday quip worked? And why didnt I
think of that?
Same goes for the woman who brought a
baby and stroller. Are you a full-time mom?
The clerk asked. Nope. Seems the woman
had a full-time job but thought jury duty
spared her having to shell out for day care.
Then there was the guy who showed up
only to learn he should have just called the
night before to discover he wasnt needed.
Amazing the eavesdropping opportunity
when one sits close to the counter.
Several hours, a couple cups of coffee, one
video about the joys of serving and multiple
breaks later, and I was a free woman. The
group was thanked and dismissed having
never even made it into a courtroom so Ill
never know if the case settled, the jury slots
were lled or the jury room employees just
got tired of looking at us especially that
guy literally snoring in his seat with his
arms ung out to the sides and the woman
who when checking in stood in front of a
large sign proclaiming that shorts, tank
tops and ip-ops were unacceptable court
clothing. Guess what she was wearing.
In any case, Im home free for another
stretch which gives me two years to come
up with a valid excuse. Or, perhaps my future
summons will nally fall in a window when
losing a day or two or six or 14 of work
wouldnt be a hardship. Only time will tell.
Until then, the jurys out.

NEWYORK U.S. stocks dropped
for a fourth day in a row Monday as
investors continued to express worry
about the recent rise in bond yields.
Banking stocks also dragged down the
broader market.
The Dow Jones industrial average
dropped 70.73 points, or 0.47 per-
cent, to 15,010.74. The Standard &
Poors 500 index lost 9.78 points, or
0.6 percent, to 1,646.05. The market
fell broadly; 4 stocks fell for every one
that rose on the New York Stock
Exchange.
The technology-heavy Nasdaq com-
posite index also fell, losing 13.69
points, or 0.48 percent, to 3,589.09.
The Russell 2000 index, which is made
up of primarily riskier, small-compa-
ny stocks, fell nearly twice as much as
the S&P 500. That index fell 11. 05
points, or 1 percent, to 1,013.25.
Investors had little data to digest
Monday, so the focus for many
remained the ongoing climb in bond
yields. The yield on the benchmark
10-year Treasury note rose to 2.88 per-
cent from 2.83 percent Friday. Yields
are at their highest level since July
2011.
The 10-year yield has been rising
sharply from a recent low of 1.63 per-
cent reached in early May as the econ-
omy has improved and as investors
anticipate an end to the Federal
Reserves huge bond-buying program
as early as next month. The program
has been keeping interest rates low to
encourage borrowing and hiring.
Weve been in this articially low
interest rate environment for so long,
its hard to gure out what normal is,
said Jim Dunigan, chief investment
ofcer with PNC Wealth Management.
The quick rise in bond yields has
worried some investors because it
leads to higher interest rates on many
kinds of loans, including home mort-
gages and corporate loans.
I do think were not too far away
from that point in time where this
heavy increase in bond yields is going
to start impacting the (stock) mar-
kets, said Doug Peebles, chief invest-
ment officer of AllianceBernstein
Fixed Income.
Homebuilders were hit hard on
Monday as traders worried that higher
mortgage rates could upset a recovery
in the housing market. Lennar,
PulteGroup and D.R. Horton all fell
roughly 4 percent.
Some investors expect the 10-year
note could rise above the psychologi-
cally important 3 percent mark as
early as months end.
Mondays losses come after the Dow
posted its worst week of 2013. The
benchmark index fell 2.2 percent last
week and the S&P 500 lost 2.1 per-
cent. The Dow and the S&P 500 have
not had a four-day losing streak since
December 2012.
Bank stocks moved lower after a
report from the Federal Reserve
appeared to indicate that large bank
holding companies rms such as
JPMorgan Chase & Co., Citigroup,
Bank of America and others could
need to raise additional capital.
In the report, the central bank said
large banks had made substantial
improvements in how they plan for
future potential nancial crises; how-
ever the Fed also said there was con-
siderable room for advancement.
JPMorgan fell $1.46, or 2.7 per-
cent, to $51.83 while Bank of America
fell 27 cents, or 1.9 percent, to
$14.15. Morgan Stanley fell 66 cents,
or 2.5 percent, to $25.81.
Banks have faced intense regulatory
pressure to increase their capital ratios
the amount of money they hold in
reserve since the nancial crisis
five years ago. Several banks that
failed, including Washington Mutual,
Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns,
were criticized for not holding enough
capital to protect their balance sheets
from the losses stemming from bad
mortgages.
Investors should expect more focus
on the Fed this week. On Wednesday
the Federal Reserve will publish the
minutes of its July policy meeting,
and on Thursday the Fed starts its annu-
al conference in Jackson Hole, Wyo.
Stocks drop for a fourth straight day
Unemployment rates rise
in most U.S. states in July
WASHINGTON Unemployment rates rose in more
than half of U.S. states in July and fewer states added jobs,
echoing national data that show the job market may have
lost some momentum.
The Labor Department says unemployment rates
increased in 28 states. They were unchanged in 14 and fell
in eight states the fewest to show a decline since
January.
Hiring increased in 32 states in July compared with
June, the fewest in three months. Seventeen states
reported job losses. California, Georgia and Florida
reported the largest job gains, while New Jersey and
Nevada lost the most.
Nationwide, hiring has been steady this year but slowed
in July. Employers added 162,000 jobs, the fewest since
March. The unemployment rate fell to 7.4 percent, a 4
1/2 -year low, from 7.6 percent.
Business brief
NEWYORK Smartphones are get-
ting bigger as people use them more to
watch movies and play games. A new
one from Samsung is beyond big.
With a screen measuring 6.3 inches
diagonally, the Galaxy Mega is almost
as big as a 7-inch tablet computer. The
difference: It makes phone calls.
Samsung says the Mega is a hybrid
that combines the portability of a
smartphone with the immersive experi-
ence that a tablet offers for movies,
books, music and games. Phones of this
size are typically referred to as phablets.
Samsung Electronics Co. is known
for big phones. Its agship Galaxy S4
is 5 inches, while the Galaxy Note 2 is
5.5 inches. Apples iPhone 5 is 4 inch-
es.
Samsung is also known for offering a
variety of devices, with different screen
sizes and prices, to target a range of con-
sumers. Because of that, its now the
leading maker of phones. Apple, by
contrast, has been releasing one model a
year that targets high-end consumers. A
new iPhone is expected this fall.
The Mega includes many features
available in other recent Galaxy
phones. That includes Multi Window,
which allows multitasking in a split
screen, and Easy Mode, which reduces
the number of features and choices for
new smartphone users.
AT&TInc. says it will start selling the
Mega on Friday for $150 with a two-
year service contract. The Mega is also
coming to Sprint and U.S. Cellular.
Dates and prices werent announced for
those carriers. The Mega made its debut
in Europe and Russia in May, but hasnt
been available in the U.S. until now.
As Samsungs phones get larger, at
least one of HTC Corp.s is getting
smaller. AT&T announced Monday that
it will start selling a smaller version of
the HTC One. Called the HTC One Mini,
it will have a 4.3-inch screen, compared
with 4.7 inches on the standard model.
Its also lighter, at 4.3 ounces. The One
is 5 ounces. The One Mini will be about
$100 cheaper than its big brother. It
will be available starting Friday for
$100 with a two-year service agree-
ment.

WASHINGTON Three years after
President Barack Obama signed a
sweeping overhaul of lending and
high-nance rules, execution of the
law is behind schedule with scores of
regulations yet to be written, let alone
enforced. Meeting privately with the
nations top nancial regulators on
Monday, Obama prodded them to act
more swiftly.
The presidents push comes as the
ve-year anniversary of the nations
nancial near-meltdown approaches.
The law, when passed in 2010, was
considered a milestone in Obamas
presidency, a robust response to the
crisis that led to a massive govern-
ment bailout to stabilize the nancial
markets.
But the slow pace of implementation
has prompted administration concern
that banks could
still pose potential-
ly calamitous risks
to the economy and
to taxpayers. Obama
hoped to convey
the sense of
urgency that he
feels, spokesman
Josh Earnest said
before the president
convened the meeting with the eight
independent regulators in the White
House Roosevelt Room.
Lehman Brothers collapsed into
bankruptcy on Sept. 15, 2008, and the
administration has wanted to use that
dubious milestone to look back on the
lessons of the crisis and progress so
far to prevent a recurrence. In a state-
ment at the conclusion of the meeting,
the White House said Obama com-
mended the regulators for their work
but stressed the need to expeditiously
finish implementing the critical
remaining portions of Wall Street
reform to ensure we are able to prevent
the type of nancial harm that led to
the Great Recession from ever happen-
ing again.
Not everyone feels that way about
the law, known as Dodd-Frank after its
Democratic sponsors, Rep. Barney
Frank and Sen. Christopher Dodd.
Republican House Financial
Services Committee Chairman Jeb
Hensarling, an early opponent of
Dodd-Frank, dismissed Obamas meet-
ing with the regulators, saying, Much
like Obamacare, Dodd-Frank is an
incomprehensively complex piece of
legislation that is harmful to our oun-
dering economy and in dire need of
repeal.
Three years after passage, many
other Republican lawmakers also see
the law as more negative than posi-
tive.
Obama urges regulators
to enact Wall Street rules
By Martin Crutsinger
WASHINGTON The Federal
Reserve says the nations largest
banks need to do a better job of deter-
mining how much capital they need
to cushion against a future crisis.
In a report issued Monday, the
Fed said the big banks have made
progress in preparing for stresses
l i ke t hose brought by t he 2008
financial crisis. But it said they
must go further by accounting for
specific risks that relate to their
business activities.
The Fed has been conducting annu-
al stress tests on the biggest banks
since 2009. The next round will
include the 18 largest banks and an
additional 12 firms that will partici-
pate for the first time next year.
The report came as President Barack
Obama met Monday with banking
regulators for a status report as the
five-year anniversary of the financial
crisis approaches.
The Feds stress tests serve as an
annual check-up on the big banks.
Under the tests, banks must assume
severe weakness in the economy and
financial market turmoil and then cal-
culate the losses theyd incur under
those conditions. The banks compare
those projected losses with the capi-
tal theyre holding to determine
whether theyre adequately prepared
for a severe downturn.
As a result of the tests, the Fed tells
the banks whether they can raise
their dividend the quarterly payout
that banks give shareholders. Many
retirees living on fixed incomes rely
on dividends for a portion of their
income.
Fed says big banks must improve financial cushions

MIAMI Former All-Star closer Brian
Wilson was activated Monday from the dis-
abled list by the Los Angeles Dodgers after
being sidelined since April 2012 because of
an elbow injury.
Wilson, mounting a comeback from
Tommy John surgery, was available for the
start of the Dodgers series at Miami.
Outelder Scott Van Slyke was optioned
back to Triple-A
Albuquerque.
The Dodgers bullpen
has been the best in the
majors since the All-Star
break, and manager Don
Mattingly said Wilsons
role was yet to be deter-
mined.
Were going to get
him out there and see,
Mattingly said. This guy hasnt pitched in
a long time. We know what he has been able
to do in the past. We know hes not going to
be afraid. He has been there before. We want
to get him in the mix and see what it looks
like.
Wilson made four scoreless appearances
during a minor league rehab assignment.
The Dodgers signed him after he was non-
tendered by the San Francisco Giants last
winter.

KANSAS CITY The Kansas City Chiefs
and San Francisco 49ers are hoping a
change of scenery will give two disappoint-
ing rst-round picks an opportunity to real-
ize their potential.
The Chiefs traded wide receiver Jon
Baldwin to the 49ers on Monday for fellow
wideout A.J. Jenkins. Its the second signif-
icant trade between the teams this year after
the Chiefs sent two draft picks to San
Francisco in the offseason to acquire quar-
terback Alex Smith.
We are pleased to add Jonathan to our
team and look forward to incorporating him
into our offense, 49ers general manager
Trent Baalke said in a statement. Both
players have been presented a great oppor-
tunity for a new beginning with their
respective teams.
Baldwin was the 26th overall choice of
the Chiefs in 2011, but hes had a tumul-
tuous career right from the start. Baldwin
broke his thumb his rookie season when he
got into a ght with a teammate, and then
struggled to adapt to three head coaches in
his rst three seasons.
T
he National Football League con-
tinues to thrive despite itself. Out-
of-control pricing of stadium con-
cessions, sky-high parking fees, ghting
in the stands, archaic blackout rules,
injuries, lawsuits, etcetera.
Yeah, sure sounds like the NFL is trying
to make the game more fan-friendly. Lets
see, players are basically not allowed to
celebrate anything anymore no end zone
dances, no emphatic rst-down signals.
Just hand the ball to ref and move on to the
next play. Whoopee.
The NFL is concerned that fans stay away
from the stadiums themselves because the
in-stadium experience is so much worse
than staying on your
couch at home. I
dont care if an NFL
team picks me up in
a limo and gives me
rst-class treatment
the whole way, it
still will not be bet-
ter than watching the
games from my sofa.
In an attempt to
lure more people
back to the stadium,
teams are turning to
technology to up the
ante. Apps that alert
you to short concession stand lines or
bathroom lines. In-stadium wi- so fans
can connect to Internet from their seats.
Adding the Red Zone channel to the
Jumbotron so fans can keep track of their
fantasy football team players.
And yet, my wife is not allowed to bring
her purse into the stadium. Parents arent
allowed to bring diaper bags. No backpack
to hold the various layers of clothing need-
ed to attend a game at Candlestick Park.
Anew NFL rule says bags are not allowed
in NFL stadiums anymore unless its a
one-gallon, ziplock freezer bag, or (conve-
niently) a new NFL-certied, clear-plastic
bag, that can be emblazoned with your
favorite teams logo.
Add another revenue stream for the bil-
lionaires.
I get it, safety precautions and all, but
the NFL is talking out of both sides of it
mouth. These new bag rules are not making
the in-stadium experience more fan friend-
l y. Its only fan-friendly in the way the
TSAis ier-friendly at the airport.
The NFL can keep their $12 beers, or
whatever they cost nowadays, as well as
their $30 parking fee. I can barbecue on
my deck and stock my refrigerator with
whatever beverage I choose. I wont have
to wait in line for the bathroom and I dont
have to worry about someone standing up
in front of me and ruining my view of the
game.
No matter what the NFL does, its not
going to be better than the experience I

The No Fun
League strikes
By Antonio Gonzalez
SAN FRANCISCO With a compelling
current and whipping wind on San Francisco
Bay, Italian skipper Max Sirena thought
racing twice a day in the Americas Cup
challenger nals would be pretty painful
for the new high-performance catamarans.
He was wrong.
Just nishing one race has proved prob-
lematic.
Emirates Team New Zealand sailed away
with another win because of a mechanical
failure to Italys Luna Rossa, taking a 2-1
lead in the Louis Vuitton Cup finals
Monday.
Skipper Dean Barker guided his boat
underneath at the start and made a slick
move inside Luna Rossa on the rst turn to
go ahead. The Italians still started strong
and stayed close until the control arm of
their wing broke, forcing another withdraw-
al in a series beset by big breezes and break-
downs.
I would not be sleeping pretty well if I
was the designer of one of these boats,
Sirena said.
For the third straight day, ofcials called
off the second race due to exceeding wind
and bailed out a broken boat. The next two
races are scheduled for Wednesday, when
organizers are counting on a coming ood
tide to reduce the drag of a strong wind forc-
ing another postponement on a series that
already has dragged.
All three wins in the nals have come by
withdrawals. The winner of the best-of-13
series will face defending champion Oracle
Team USA in the 34th Americas Cup start-
ing Sept. 7.
Its getting massively frustrating, Luna
Rossa grinder Giles Scott said. At the
moment, the racing has been almost gov-
erned on who can get around the course as
opposed to win the races.
This summer has been full of setbacks for
the regatta.
British sailor Andrew Bart Simpson
died in the capsize of Swedish Team Artemis
Racings rst boat during a training run May
9. Oracle is still ghting off an alleged
cheating scandal for illegal modications
to its prototype boats used last year and

M
ost guys in his place disappear
for a while or else crumple up
faster than a napkin.
Not Alex Rodriguez.
Somehow he still shows up at the ball-
park every day determined to take his licks,
good and bad. That should count for some-
thing. So whatever else is said about A-Rod
and every indication is that theres still
plenty to come at least acknowledge this
much: The man has guts.
Just for fun, try to come up with another
athlete who so many
people are hoping
will fail.
Rodriguez has more
haters at the moment
than anyone this side
of Lance Armstrong.
His sport wants him
gone and so do most
of its fans. The
Yankees want out
from under A-Rods
contract, and even
some of his union
brethren and team-
mates would pay
good money for the privilege of hitting
him with the door on the way out.
And every time Rodriguez opens his
mouth, he only makes all those things
worse.
Hes been portrayed as delusional and a
serial liar who used PEDs to get where he
is. He blamed a cousin the rst time he got
caught, then reportedly had someone in his
camp rat out a teammate and convenient-
ly a rival to help cover his own tracks
the second time. Even now, Rodriguez has
yet another mouthpiece offering new and
familiarly cockamamie explanations for
why all isnt as bad as it seems. And maybe
the best thing to be said about that is that
he wont have to work hard to convince his
client.
With all the other developments in the
saga, its easy to overlook that Rodriguezs
batting average is hovering around .320,
and based on the admittedly scant evidence
of his return a dozen games ago, his power
numbers and OPS are lining up nicely with
some of the more productive seasons of
whats been a very productive career. Even
more impressive is the way Rodriguez han-
dled himself Sunday night in Boston.

Red Sox make easy work of Giants
By Janie McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO Jon Lester pitched
into the ninth for his rst victory in four
tries this month, and the AL East-leading
Boston Red Sox beat the San Francisco
Giants 7-0 on Monday night after ying
cross-country earlier in the day.
Stephen Drew and Jarrod Saltalamacchia
hit RBI doubles, Shane Victorino added an
RBI single and Will Middlebrooks had a sac-
rice y for Boston. The Red Sox chose to
travel rst thing Monday rather than late
Sunday night after a 9-6 loss to the Yankees
at Fenway Park.
Lester (11-7) allowed six hits, struck out
three and walked two in Bostons seventh
shutout. He outpitched two-time NL Cy
Young Award winner Tim Lincecum (6-13) to
snap a three-start winless stretch since a
victory at Baltimore on July 28. Lester gave
way to Brandon Workman after allowing a
pair of one-out singles in the ninth.
Lincecum was done after ve-plus innings
and lost for the fourth time in his last ve
decisions. Two of his four walks were inten-
tional free passes to Middlebrooks.
Giants pitchers had a balk, wild pitch and
hit batsman in the same home game for the
rst time since April 10, 2010, against
Atlanta.
The two clubs faced off
for just their fourth series
and first since Boston
took two of three at
AT&T Park in an injury-
plagued stop. In a
lengthy tribute to the
Boston Marathon bomb-
ing victims before the
game, players from both
sides walked out of their
dugouts and stood on their respective base-
lines in a show of solidarity and support.
Lester retired the rst nine Giants in order
before Andres Torres lined a single to left
leading off the fourth. The Boston left-han-
der tossed a complete game in his lone other
start against San Francisco, a ve-hitter on
June 27, 2010, at AT&T Park.
He nearly did it again.
Boston staked Lester to an early lead with
three runs in the second showing no
signs of being weary from a 4-hour, 12-
minute game Sunday night and then the
travel. Will Middlebrooks hit a sacrice y
and a balk by Lincecum forced in another
run.
Torres also singled in the sixth and eighth
innings to finish with three of San
Franciscos six hits and his rst multihit

As overpower the Mariners
By Rick Eymer
OAKLAND Brandon Moss was a little
worried the ball he hit would stay in the
park. Hes hit balls like that before that
have fallen short in the outeld.
Not this night, a calm, balmy night for
the Bay Area.
Moss hit a solo home run over the center-
eld fence with one out in the ninth inning,
lifting the Oakland Athletics over the
Seattle Mariners 2-1 on Monday night.
I was very surprised that ball went out,
Moss said. Weve hit a lot of balls at night
that would have been out of here last year
but stayed in the park. So, yeah, I was wor-
ried when I hit it.
As manager Bob Melvin saw it different-
l y.
Thats a strong man, he said. He gets
into one and theres not a park around he
cant hit it out of.
Jarrod Parker (9-6) pitched his rst career
complete game, allowing eight hits. He
struck out eight, did not walk a batter and
threw 100 pitches.
It hasnt really set in it just yet, Parker
said. Thats something Ive been trying to
build toward. When I can get through the
early innings with fewer pitches it helps go
deeper into games.
Parker improved to 7-0
over his last 15 starts,
with an ERAof 2.59 over
that span.
We wanted to get it
done the whole game for
Parker, Moss said.
Hes been pitching out-
standing lately. I
thought we swung the
bats well, a lot better than two runs.
Josh Donaldson drove in a run for the As ,
who have won four of ve.
Kendrys Morales drove in a run for the
Mariners, who have lost four of six.
Carter Capps (2-3) struck out Yoenis
Cespedes to open the ninth before Moss
drove a 2-1 pitch to the deepest part of the
park.
I watched it about four or ve times
already and felt like I executed the pitch
pretty good, Capps said. I was trying to
throw a strike low and away, and I did. He
just got to it.
Mariners starter Aaron Harang gave up a
run on ve hits over seven innings. He
walked one and struck out three.
The As took a 1-0 lead in the fourth when
Josh Reddick and Cespedes singled to open
the inning and Donaldson had an RBI
grounder.
Morales singled home a run in the sev-
enth to tie it. He then cost the Mariners a
chance to take the lead when jogged into
third standing up on Justin Smoaks sharp
single to right eld and was thrown out by
Reddick. It was Reddicks 16th assist.
I didnt realize it. I didnt know he was
going to have a chance to throw to third,
Morales said. I was surprised about it. My
main thing was thinking just to get to
third.
Mariners interim manager Robby
Thompson said third base coach Darren
Brown was telling him to slide.
Obviously he should have been sliding,
Thompson said. I think he assumed that
maybe Reddick was going to come up and
throw the ball to second base. Amistake on
his part. Thats one guy you dont want to
challenge, especially if youre kind of a
below-average runner.

Hes also had trouble with dropped passes
throughout training camp under new coach
Andy Reid, including one when he was wide
open in last Friday nights preseason loss
to San Francisco.
That drop alone apparently was not
enough to dissuade the 49ers from making
the deal.
Theres no reason that both of these guys
cant end up having a great career, 49ers
coach Jim Harbaugh said. Both of these
young men have that opportunity, and they
denitely have the ability and license to get
it done.
Jenkins was the 30th overall pick of the
49ers last year, but may have had a more
perplexing rookie season than Baldwin. He
appeared in three games but did not make a
catch, even though he was healthy through-
out his teams NFC championship season.
We felt like this trade was benecial for
all parties involved, said Chiefs general
manager John Dorsey, who was hired in
January to replace the red Scott Pioli
the GM who drafted Baldwin.
Dorsey and Reid clearly werent enamored
of the big wide receiver after breaking down
video of him upon their arrival. One of their
major acquisitions in free agency was
Donnie Avery, a veteran wide receiver who
was expected to compete with Baldwin for
the job opposite Dwayne Bowe.
Baldwin didnt do much to change the
Chiefs opinion of him this offseason,
either.
Even though theyre desperate to give
Smith some downfield options, Baldwin
never seized upon the opportunity. He rou-
tinely dropped balls in practice, struggled
to get open in preseason games and never
showed signs of being the kind of playmak-
er the Chiefs need on the outside.
You dont know what you will get out of
him, Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug
Pederson said before Sundays practice. If
hes down from drops or mental errors or
whatever it is, you just work yourself out of
it. You continue to press on. We always talk
about short-term memory. You have to have
it in this business and move on.
Otherwise, your team eventually will
move on, as Kansas City did Monday.
The 49ers are hopeful that Baldwin can
ourish without having to deal with the
pressure that came with being a primary tar-
get in Kansas City. Even though Michael
Crabtree is out with a torn Achilles tendon,
San Francisco still has veteran Anquan
Boldin, Kyle Williams, Mario Manningham
when healthy, and tight end Vernon Davis to
carry most of the load in its passing game.
Still, all that help wasnt enough to help
Jenkins break out. The speedy wide receiver
had another rough preseason showing
against the Chiefs last Friday night, and
many were beginning to question whether
the former Illinois star would even make the
team.

NAPA Wide receiver Jacoby Ford
sprinted downfield and caught a pass in
stride. Not far away, Vance Walker and the
rest of the Oakland Raiders defensive line-
men went through their normal daily posi-
tional drills.
Right guard Mike Brisiel was on the eld,
too, doing limited individual work. Backup
cornerback Chimdi Chekwa also returned
after missing a day.
Slowly but surely, the Raiders list of
injured players who are unable to practice is
getting shorter.
Even rst-round draft pick D.J. Hayden,
limited through the rst four weeks of train-
ing camp after undergoing abdominal sur-
gery in the offseason, was given the green
light in full pads on Monday.
First day back, it felt good to get back
out there, said Ford, who practiced for the
rst time in nearly two weeks after being
out with a strained hamstring. I kind of
took my time this time coming back. It did-
nt grab or anything so it denitely was a
positive day for me.
Ford, who missed all of 2012 with a foot
injury, sat out a week of practice earlier in
camp then made a brief return before limp-
ing off the eld again on Aug. 7.
After the speedy wide receiver made it
through two days of rehab without a set-
back, he was cleared to return and showed no
lingering effects. Ford ran without pain dur-
ing the 30-minute span when practice was
open to reporters and repeatedly ashed the
burst that allowed him to average 18.8 yards
a catch as a rookie.
Before, it was kind of hard to accelerate
and I was a little bit more timid, Ford said.
Now Im just 100 percent full go. I wanted
to go do a little more (but) they kept hold-
ing me back. They denitely did a good job
with that.
Walkers return to practice is even more
critical for Oakland.
The Raiders defensive line has been deci-
mated by injuries this season. The four pro-
jected starters tackles Walker and Pat
Sims, and defensive ends Lamarr Houston
and Jason Hunter havent practiced
together once.
Sims has missed all but a half-day of prac-
tice while injured. Houston also sat out the
rst two preseason games with an undis-
closed injury but has since returned.
A handful of other players remain side-
lined on both sides of the ball, including
second-round pick Menelik Watson. Strong
safety Tyvon Branch, a Pro Bowl alternate
in 2011, sat out Mondays practice with
sore ribs.
Youre going to have to deal with
(injuries) during the season ... and it is a
next man up philosophy, coach Dennis
Allen said. Youre going to play the game
that week so from that standpoint its good
preparation for us. At some point some-
bodys going to have to step in and play,
and we anticipate and expect backup players
to play just like the starters.
Brisiel, Oaklands starting right guard in
2012, returned albeit in limited fashion.
The Raiders top free agent acquisition a
year ago, Brisiel has been slowed by a knee
injury and is still struggling to recover from
offseason ankle surgery.
Oaklands offensive line as a whole has
been slammed by injuries in camp.
Left tackle Jared Veldheer underwent sur-
gery last week to repair a torn triceps mus-
cle. Watson, the 42nd overall pick in this
years NFL draft, began camp on the non-
football injury list and made a brief return
on Aug. 7 before aggravating a calf injury
he originally suffered in late July.
The Raiders have had to shufe things
around as a result.
Tony Bergstrom is penciled in at left
guard but has been taking reps at tackle.
Alex Barron, who like Watson was expected
to push right tackle Khalif Barnes for the
starting job, has moved to the left side to
replace Veldheer.
The Oakland injury list gets shorter

PRETORIA, South Africa A
woman screamed and then there
was silence, according to South
African prosecutors pressing a pre-
meditated murder case against
Oscar Pistorius. Next, the indict-
ment says, witnesses heard gun-
shots and more screaming at the
home of the Paralympic champi-
on, who says he shot his girlfriend
by mistake on Valentines Day.
The sequence of events outlined
Monday could bolster an argument
that the double-amputee Olympian
was intent on killing Reeva
Steenkamp after an altercation and
was not reacting fearfully to what
he thought was an intrusion in his
home, as he has said. Prosecutors
revealed a list of more than 100
witnesses, some of whom live in
the gated community where she
was killed.
Pistorius wept and prayed in
court as he held hands with his
brother and sister before being
served with the indictment. The
athlete will face an additional
charge of illegal possession of
ammunition when his blockbuster
trial starts on March 3 in a court in
the South African capital, Pretoria.
The indictment in the Pretoria
Magistrates Court yielded new
details about how prosecutors will
pursue a case that has gripped the
world because of the celebrity sta-
tus of Pistorius, who overcame his
disability to become a global phe-
nomenon, only to see his name
and accomplishments tarnished by
his role in a violent death. The tim-
ing of the indictment was melan-
cholic because Steenkamp would
have celebrated her 30th birthday
on Monday.
The main charge laid by prosecu-
tors carries a mandatory sentence
of life imprisonment with a mini-
mum of 25 years in prison if
Pistorius is convicted. The prose-
cutions allusion to a possible
fight between the couple at
Pistorius villa before the shoot-
ing raises the possibility of a
motive.
Woman screamed, then Pistorius fired
MILWAUKEE A former col-
lege classmate sued Ryan Braun,
saying the Brewers slugger sought
his help in ghting a failed drug
test, balked on paying him and
then disparaged him when asked
why their friendship soured.
Ralph Sasson, a Milwaukee law
student, said Brauns agent hired
him in November 2011 to do legal
research aimed at clearing Braun
after the left elder tested positive
for steroid use. The agent later
asked him to investigate the man
who collected Brauns urine, Dino
Laurenzi Jr., and Braun personally
asked him to prank call two jour-
nalists working on a story about
the failed test, according to the
lawsuit filed last month in
Milwaukee County court.
Braun was the first baseball
player to successfully challenge a
drug-related penalty in a griev-
ance. He accepted a longer, 65-
game suspension last month amid
reports of ties to a Florida clinic
accused of distributing perform-
ance-enhancing drugs to major
leaguers but did not publicly admit
using banned drugs.
Sasson said the initial deal
called for him to be paid $2,000
for his research and $5,000 if
Braun was exonerated. But Braun
and his agent, Onesimo Balelo,
balked at paying him the full
amount after a baseball arbitrator
overturned the left fielders 50-
game suspension in February
2012. Sasson eventually got paid,
but he said his relationship with
Braun soured and the baseball
player lied when asked why.

SAO PAULO Tickets for the
2014 World Cup will go on sale
Tuesday and FIFA is expecting
similar demand to that from the
2006 tournament in Germany.
Fans from around the world will
be allowed to apply for their tick-
ets on FIFAs website beginning at
6 a.m. EDT.
There were about seven appli-
cants for every ticket of the 64-
match tournament in 2006, which
was attended by more than 3.3
million fans, according to FIFA.
Almost 2 million tickets were sold
to the general public in South
Africa in 2010, although the num-
ber of applications during the rst
ticketing phase was signicantly
lower.
Its always difcult to predict,
FIFA marketing director Thierry
Weil said Monday. But I truly
believe that it will be more toward
to what happened in Germany than
in South Africa. We believe there
will be a huge demand for this
World Cup. But again, we will see
after the opening.
FIFA expects about 3.3 million
tickets to be available for the
monthlong tournament in Brazil.
Tickets will cost as low as $90
for rst-round matches and will
start at $440 for the final at
Maracana Stadium in Rio de
Janeiro.
The most expensive ticket for
the nal will cost $990.
Brazilian citizens over 60,
local students and members of
some social programs can get
tickets at $15.

Whats been the best part of the
Americas Cup being in San Francisco?
Well, the Americas Cup Concert Series at
the Americas Cup Pavilion has been pretty
solid.
The action on the water, on the other
hand, has left a lot to be desired. There was
supposed to be upwards of a dozen teams
competing for the oldest trophy in sport.
It started with four and is now down to
three.
Most of intrigue surrounding the event
has been the accusations thrown by the
syndicates at the other teams. It seems
more time has been spent in front of rules
ofcials and judges than time spent actual-
ly racing.
And when the races have happened? The
team from New Zealand has dominated.
Going into Monday, the only race the
Kiwis have lost was when they lost electri-
cal power Sunday against Luna Rossa, giv-
ing the Italians their rst win by default.
So the racing hasnt been exactly
thrilling either.
Then there is the Larry Ellison Effect, the
Oracle billionaire who is putting on this
shindig as defending champion. Not that
all the owners arent lthy rich, but there
is a certain hubris Ellison projects that has
many people quietly happy that this
Americas Cup is not going the way he
thought it would. Schadenfreude and all
that.
So what is there to look forward to in the
Americas Cup? Well, Heart is coming to
the Americas Cup Pavilion Aug. 28 and
Sammy Hagar will there Sept. 7. The rac-
ing at this point is almost an afterthought.
LOUNGE
early this year. And the 72-foot catamarans
so expensive and dangerous that only
three challengers entered the competition
are failing more than foiling.
Itd be nice if we can get one race where
both boats race all the way till the end,
Barker said.
Emirates tore the trampoline tarp in the
center of its catamaran during a nosedive
that sent two men tumbling overboard in
the opener. The Kiwis still won because the
Italians struggled to x a broken lifting
system around their right daggerboard.
Emirates led Luna Rossa by 400 meters
late in Sundays race when the electronics
system that controls the hydraulics shut
down. Workers had to come aboard to x the
problem, handing Luna Rossa which had
a few cracks in its wing, a problem Sirena
said is unrelated to the broken control arm
the tying win.
Mondays rst race started an hour earlier
in hopes both could nish before the typi-
cal afternoon breezes whip up. Instead,
another uncontested win and postponement
followed.
The Kiwis made a smooth foiling gybe
when a boat changes direction while sailing
downwind and stays on its foils at more
than 30 knots (34.5 mph) to send them
through the leeward gate about 21 seconds
in front. As both boats turned right toward
Alcatraz Island, the Italians pulled up with
problems controlling their wing.
Luna Rossa is still winless against
favored Emirates when the Kiwis catamaran
is functional.
The Kiwis went 5-0 against the Italians in
the round-robins, including the opener that
Luna Rossa boycotted because of a rules
spat another embarrassment to the regat-
ta. The Kiwis twice beat the Italians by more
than 5 minutes, and the closest margin was
2:19.
The current course is ve legs, which is
three shorter than the one used during the
round-robins. Sirena said he never thought
we could be so close in performance to
Emirates now and is hoping to get the
chance for a head-to-head race till the nish.
He said part of the problem for the break-
downs in the finals is that the fragile
boats are still so new and being pressed
harder than ever before.
When youre sailing alone around the
course, even in 20 knots, youll really be
scared because you can put the boat down,
Sirena said. Then when you have another
boat next to you, that scare has gone away
because you want to beat the other guy and
you push way harder than normally.

set out to make a statement at A-
Rods expense, throwing the rst
pitch behind him, then plunking
him in the back with the last one.
Dempster denied doing it on pur-
pose, but more likely he was bet-
ting there wouldnt be much in
the way of reprisals from either A-
Rod or his Yankee teammates, at
least nothing of consequence. He
turned out to be wrong on both
counts.
The benches cleared, Yankee
manager Joe Girardi got tossed,
Rodriguez homered off Dempster
in his next bat and his team won
the game, managing to turn A-
Rod into a sympathetic character
if only for one night. And
even if all the talk in the New
York clubhouse afterward about
climbing back into the postsea-
son race seemed a bit premature,
well, at least it provided his team-
mates a way to answer questions
about A-Rod that didnt include:
Should he even be on the eld?
Of course, that didnt stop one
reporter from asking A-Rod the
same question about Dempster,
and his answer was priceless:
Im the wrong guy to be ask-
ing about suspensions, he said,
smiling slyly. Holy mackerel.
A-Rod is probably the wrong
guy to be asking, too, about how
hes managed to come back from a
serious injury at the advanced age
of 38 and at least for the time
being perform the way he did
at 28, with the added burden of his
unpopularity and ongoing legal
proceedings weighing on him.
Rodriguez says its his faith,
while his detractors suspect its
the benet of all that PED use.
And most people believe that
either way, failure is bound to
come crashing down on him soon
enough. A-Rod never quite ashed
the bravado of Barry Bonds or
Roger Clemens or Armstrong for
that matter, yet its hard to imag-
ine his story ending any better
than theirs did.
Still, its hard not see a guy
deantly thumb his nose at all the
people booing him and marvel at
whatever it is propping him up.

one is not, Wagstaffe said at the press con-
ference.
If the vehicle had been running low to the
ground for weeks on end, Wagstaffe said,
there could have been the potential for crim-
inal charges.
Although the limousine was only sup-
posed to have a maximum of seven passen-
gers inside plus the driver, there were 10
passengers in the vehicle that night. But
that was not a factor in the re, ofcials
said.
The victims died of smoke inhalation,
San Mateo Coroner Robert Foucrault said.
No inhalants such as gas were discovered
during autopsies of the victims, he said.
The vehicle also still had nearly a half a
tank of gas, California Highway Patrol
Commander Mike Maskarich said.
The group, many of them nurses who
worked at the same facility, were headed to a
Foster City hotel that night from Alameda
for a bachelorette party to celebrate the wed-
ding of Neriza Fojas, 31.
Fojas and four other passengers were
killed as the smoke and re swept through
the limousine. The other victims were
Felomina Geronga, Anna Alcantara,
Jennifer Balon and Michelle Estrera.
The CHP released some of the recordings
of 911 calls made that night.
We need help on the San Mateo Bridge,
a woman yelled at 10:07 p.m. Oh my God,
oh my God. I cannot open the door.
A man was then heard yelling, get out,
get out, get out.
A CHP ofcer calling from the scene is
heard moments later telling people to calm
down.
Theres people telling me theres ve
more people trapped inside. I dont think
there is anything we can do, the ofcer said
to a dispatcher. The rear of the limo is fully
engulfed and the doors are locked. Ive got
one, two, three, four, ve ladies sitting on
the ground.
The survivors were Brown, the driver,
Grace Guardiano, Nelia Arellano, Jasim de
Guia and Amalia Loyola. All were inter-
viewed as part of a re investigation report
conducted by investigator John Mapes for
the Foster City Fire Department.
Friction from the rotating driveshaft
against the underside of the oorboard gen-
erated a signicant temperature rise ... and
ignited the material covering the passenger
oor pan, Mapes wrote in his report.
The survivors said the temperature had
started to rise in the limousine and requested
that the driver turn up the air conditioner.
As the re developed, it ignited the foam
padding and other materials used to fabricate
the rear seat, which would have produced and
released black smoke and ame into the pas-
senger compartment, Mapes wrote in the
report.
Mapes interviewed survivor Nelia
Arellano while she was still a patient at
Stanford Hospital following the tragedy.
She said she notied the driver that there
was smoke in the rear of the vehicle but that
he did not initially stop. She phoned 911
and told the driver again there was smoke in
the car and that this time the driver stopped
the vehicle. She was the rst to escape
through the drivers side door.
She called 911 again from outside the
car. I asked her what the driver did, she said
he was on the phone and did something,
according to Mapes report.
The doors in the back of the limo had
child safety locks and may not have been
opened from within, although extensive re
damage made it hard to tell, ofcials said.
Amalia Loyola was sitting in the rear seat
where the re started beneath. She said she
saw a little black smoke at her feet and then
moved to the front center seat behind the
driver.
She said then there was big smoke that
filled the whole compartment. She said
Nelia was trying to knock on the window to
the driver to tell him about the smoke. The
driver did not stop at rst, when he did stop
Nelia was the rst one through front win-
dow, then Grace, Jasmine and them me. She
said, I had to push Jasmine through the
window and Nelia pulled me out through the
drivers side door, according to Mapes
report.
The re then got bigger and the ve other
girls were not moving, Loyola told Mapes.
Loyola said the driver did nothing to
help, only that he was on the phone.
Brown, 46, only worked for Limo Stop Inc.
for about two months prior to the accident
and had driven the limousine just six times.
He told Mapes, according to his report,
that when he rst heard smoke he thought
the women were asking to smoke cigarettes
and that it was not allowed and continued
driving.
He said he was told a second time by a
passenger that there was smoke, he looked
back and saw smoke in the passenger com-
partment. He pulled over and stopped on the
highway. I asked then what did you do, he
said I tried to use the cellphone but I could
not get through. I asked did you call 911,
he said I dont know. I asked what he did
next, he said he didnt know, he was trying
to get the phone to work, Mapes wrote in
the report.
The company will be ned $7,500 by the
California Public Utilities Commission for
allowing nine passengers in the vehicle
when it was legally only supposed to carry
seven, said Brig. Gen. Jack Hagan, director
of CPUCs safety and enforcement division.
Hagan will work with state legislators on
changing regulations for limousines to
require emergency pop-out windows on the
vehicles, he said.
State Sen. Ellen Corbett, D-San Leandro,
has introduced legislation requiring pop-out
windows and other new regulations on the
limos.
The new requirements will ensure that
future tragedies such as the one that
occurred on that fateful night on the bridge
can be prevented, Corbett wrote in the
statement.

turning point in the project, which has
lost public support since voters approved
the sale of $10 billion in bonds for it in
2008.
The judges ruling on Friday said the
authoritys 2011 funding plan broke prom-
ises made to voters in Proposition 1A,
which said financing and environmental
reviews would be in place for the entire rst
useable segment before construction
would start on the nations largest infra-
structure project. The authority has identi-
ed funding for the rst 130 miles and has
completed about 30 miles of environmental
review, but the judge said that was needed for
the rst 290 miles.
Kenny said the rail authority abused its
discretion by approving a funding plan that
did not comply with the law, and the
Legislature relied on that plan in July 2012
when it approved selling $2.9 billion in
state bonds, allowing the state to tap into
$3.3 billion in federal funding. Rail of-
cials plan to spend the federal matching
money rst because of several outstanding
lawsuits.
Kenny declined in his ruling to halt fund-
ing, saying Proposition 1A appears to
leave it up to the Legislatures collective
judgment to decide whether the funding
plan complied with the ballot measure. The
judge has asked lawyers to submit addition-
al briefs regarding a possible remedy before
he schedules another hearing.
Michael Brady, an attorney for the plain-
tiffs, said all work on the rail system should
stop.
They should have read the judges deci-
sion more carefully because he clearly said
they had violated Proposition 1A in two
very critical respects, Brady said. That
means they shouldnt be signing any more
construction contracts, taking any land,
making any nancial commitments.
High-speed rail ofcials note that much of
his ruling hinged on the 2011 business
plan, which pegged the total project cost at
$98 billion and has since been overhauled
to accommodate concerns of residents in the
Central Valley and the San Francisco
Peninsula.
Richard acknowledged that in the past the
rail authority did fail to meet some stan-
dards, but he said since Brown appointed
him and adviser Mike Rossi to the rail
authority aboard, ofcials have sought to
overhaul the project. He said he is condent
the current plans would meet the judges
tests.
This is a program we want everybody to
be proud of, in terms of what were doing for
environmental protection, the settlements
we had with farmers in the Central Valley,
how high-speed rail can work to revitalize
cities in the Central Valley ... were really
focused on what this program can do for the
state, he said.
Congressional Republicans who have
fought to block funding for the project
pounced on the judges ruling.
With no private funds, unreliable rider-
ship numbers, and the reliance on hardwork-
ing taxpayers to bail out this project, this
project should not move forward, said Rep.
Kevin McCarthy of Bakerseld.
Plaintiff Aaron Fukuda, a landowner in
Hanford, 35 miles south of Fresno, said the
rail authority should not do any more work
until Kenny issues a nal decision, but he
doesnt expect that to happen.
Are they going to, in their arrogance?
Absolutely. No question in my mind, he
said. The public needs to be aware of just
how rogue this agency is.
Unless a judge intervenes to cut off fund-
ing, its not clear that project could be halt-
ed.
Kenny appeared to say in his ruling that
the plaintiffs would need to show that the
high-speed rail agency has spent more than
the 7.5 percent of $10 billion in bonds
allowed for planning.
So far, the state has issued $705 million
in bonds related to the project, about $400
million directly related to plans for the bul-
let train and about $305 million for projects
to connect existing rail lines to an eventual
high-speed system, according to the trea-
surers ofce.

WASHINGTON When people have a
brain injury so severe that they cant
squeeze a loved ones hand or otherwise
respond, there are few good ways to tell if
they have any lingering awareness or are in
a vegetative state. Now researchers have
created a tool to peek inside the brain and
measure varying levels of consciousness.
The work reported Wednesday is highly
experimental, not ready for bedside use yet
and if it pans out, a big question is how
to use it without raising false hope. No one
knows what level of consciousness at a cer-
tain point after injury really predicts recov-
ery.
But it offers the hope that one day doctors
might track consciousness nearly as easily
as they check blood pressure.
Consciousness can grow and shrink,
said Dr. Marcello Massimini, a neurophysi-
ologist at Italys University of Milan who
led the research to quantify just how much
that is happening under different circum-
stances.
It seems obvious consciousness fades
during deep sleep, and doctors can slip us
under with anesthesia. Yet scientists dont
have a good way to measure consciousness,
especially when the very ill appear to be
unconscious. Its important to try to distin-
guish if patients are at least minimally con-
scious, and not in a vegetative state,
because the sooner theres some sign of
awareness, the better the chance of recov-
ery.
Today, doctors check if those patients can
do things like blink or move a limb on
command, or react to touch or pain. If not,
scans of the brains electrical activity may
offer clues. Scientists even have put seem-
ingly unconscious patients inside MRI
scanners and told them to imagine throwing
a ball. How the brain reacts can indicate if
theyre aware and just cant show it, whats
called locked-in syndrome. But all these
tests have drawbacks.
The new work, reported in the journal
Science Translational Medicine, aims for an
easier, more objective measure. Its based
on the theory that consciousness depends
on the complexity of activity in the brain,
how well different regions connect and
process information. For example, when
New tool peeks into brain to measure consciousness
Scientists have put seemingly unconscious patients inside MRI scanners and told them to
imagine throwing a ball.How the brain reacts can indicate if theyre aware and just cant show
it, whats called locked-in syndrome. See BRAIN, Page 22

DO YOU HAVE KNEE PAIN?
Experience relief with advanced, non-surgical treatments.
Do you wake up with
knee pain?
Does knee pain limit your
level of activity?
Has your doctor
recommended surgery?
Do you have pain when
walking up or down
stairs?
Have you run out of
options to relieve your
pain?
If you answered yes to
any of these questions,
you are a candidate
for our non-invasive
treatment program.
Meet Dr. Brian Mitchell
Millions of individuals give up their
active lifestyle to knee pain because they
feel they are too young for major surgery.
I am here to tell you theres an effective
and FDA approved alternative to surgery.
If you suffer from any degree of knee pain,
I invite you to regain control of your life by
visiting our state of the art facility.
How Do We Treat Knee Pain?
We use a non-invasive, multi-
disciplinary approach to provide
complete care and dramatically
improve patients results. We cus-
tomize our treatment programs for
every individual. This may include
visco-supplementation to lubricate
the joint, individualized rehabili-
tation to strengthen the muscles
surrounding the injury, or bracing
for stabilization and support.
What Is visco-
supplementation?
Visco-supplementation, also known
as joint therapy, supplements the
knee with a natural occurring sub-
stance called hyaluronic acid that
is often decient in arthritic knees.
This lubricates the knee joint to
reduce friction between the bones
of the knee to provide signicant
pain relief.
Why is individualized reha-
bilitation Important?
The muscles surrounding the
injury can become weak and stiff
making it difficult to do everyday
tasks. Individualized rehabilita-
tion reduces inflammation and
increases range of motion, flex-
ibility and strength.
Will I feel better right away?
Most patients feel relief in a matter
of weeks and can go back to their
daily activities.
Will insurance cover
the cost?
Yes, most insurance providers and
Medicare will cover treatment upon
approval of your benets.
Are the treatments
successful?
Weve treated thousands of patients
and over 90% have experienced
signicant pain relief and regained
mobility.
How will I know if this
is right for me?
If youre suffering from knee pain,
your rst step is an evaluation with
Dr. Brian Mitchell.
What are patients saying?
I arrived to my rst appointment in a wheelchair because I couldnt bear any weight on my right
leg. The physician and therapists worked together to create a plan specically for me. I quickly
progressed from a wheelchair, to a walker, to a cane, to full weight on my leg. The treatments and
one-on-one rehabilitation gave me my life back. Diana V., Huntington Beach, CA

New Lyme disease estimate:
As many as 300K cases a year
By Mike Stobbe
ATLANTA Lyme disease is
about 10 times more common than
previously reported, health of-
cials said Monday.
As many as 300,000 Americans
are actually diagnosed with Lyme
disease each year, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention
announced.
Usually, only 20,000 to 30,000
illnesses are reported each year.
For many years, CDC officials
have known that many doctors
dont report every case and that
the true count was probably much
higher.
The new figure is the CDCs
most comprehensive attempt at a
better estimate. The number comes
from a survey of seven national
laboratories, a national patient
survey and a review of insurance
information.
Its giving us a fuller picture
and its not a pleasing one, said
Dr. Paul Mead, who oversees the
agencys tracking of Lyme dis-
ease.
The ailment is named after
Lyme, Conn., where the illness
was rst identied in 1975. Its a
bacteria transmitted through the
bites of infected deer ticks, which
can be about the size of a poppy
seed.
Symptoms include a fever,
headache and fatigue and some-
times a telltale rash that looks
like a bulls-eye centered on the
tick bite. Most people recover
with antibiotics. If left untreated,
the infection can cause arthritis
and more severe problems.
In the U.S., the majority of
Lyme disease reports have come
from 13 states: Connecticut,
Delaware, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Minnesota, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania, Vermont, Virginia
and Wisconsin.
The new study did not nd any-
thing to suggest the disease is
more geographically widespread,
Mead said.
Lyme disease is a bacteria transmitted through the bite of an infected deer tick.

Long-term results from a major
federal study ease worries about
the safety of a hormone-blocking
drug that can lower a mans
chances of developing prostate
cancer.
The drug cut prostate cancer risk
by 30 percent without raising the
risk of dying of an aggressive
form of the disease as earlier
results hinted it might.
The new work could prompt a
fresh look at using the drug for
cancer prevention. Experts say it
could prevent tens of thousands of
cases each year, saving many men
from treatments with seriously
unpleasant side effects.
The drug is sold as Proscar by
Merck & Co. and in generic form
as nasteride to treat urinary prob-
lems from enlarged prostates. Its
also sold in a lower dose as
Propecia to treat hair loss.
Adecade ago, the drug was found
to cut the risk of prostate cancer.
But there was a small rise in
aggressive tumors among its
users. Some researchers said that
by shrinking the prostate, the
drug was just making these tumors
easier to nd in a biopsy sample
not causing them.
But the concern led the Food and
Drug Administration to turn down
the drug for cancer prevention and
warnings were added to its label.
Now, with 18 years of follow-up
from that earlier study, researchers
report that men on the drug were
no more likely to die than those
not taking it.
Thats reassuring because if the
drug were truly spurring lethal
tumors, there would have been
more deaths among its users as
time went on, said Dr. Michael
LeFevre, a family physician at the
University of Missouri.
LeFevre wrote an editorial that
appears with the study in
Thursdays New England Journal
of Medicine. He is one of the lead-
ers of the U.S. Preventive Services
Task Force, an independent panel
of doctors who advise the federal
government. The group has not
taken a stance on nasteride for
prevention but has advised against
screening with PSAblood tests.
Screening does more harm than
good, the panel has said, because
although 240,000 new prostate
cancers are diagnosed each year in
the United States, only about
30,000 prove fatal. That means
many men are treated for cancers
that grow too slowly to be life-
threatening, and often suffer sexu-
al and urinary problems as a result.
The study, led by Dr. Ian
Thompson at the Cancer Therapy
and Research Center in San
Antonio, was done to see whether
nasteride could lower the risk of
prostate cancer in men who were
Drug safely cuts prostate
cancer risk, study finds
Researchers assigned 18,882 men 55 or older with no sign of prostate
cancer on blood tests or a physical exam to take nasteride or dummy
pills for seven years. When the study ended, those who had not been
diagnosed with prostate cancer were offered biopsies to check for hidden
signs of the disease.

getting screened with annual PSA
blood tests, as many still choose to do.
Researchers assigned 18,882 men 55
or older with no sign of prostate cancer
on blood tests or a physical exam to
take finasteride or dummy pills for
seven years. When the study ended,
those who had not been diagnosed with
prostate cancer were offered biopsies to
check for hidden signs of the disease.
For the new analysis, researchers
tracked the study participants for a
longer time 18 years in all since
enrollment began. Only about 10 per-
cent of men on nasteride developed
prostate cancer versus 15 percent of
those on dummy pills. Aggressive
tumors were found in 3.5 percent of
men on the drug versus 3 percent of the
others. Yet 78 percent of both groups
were alive after 15 years.
That means the drug cannot be rec-
ommended to prolong life, just to ease
suffering by preventing disease,
LeFevre said.
You may be preventing cancers that
dont need to be prevented because so
few are life-threatening, but screening
is nding these tumors anyway and
leading to unnecessary treatments, he
said. Reducing that number is a valid
reason to use a prevention drug, he
said.

youre deeply asleep, the neighbors car
alarm may not wake you but your brain still
processes that you heard it. When youre
wide awake, it also processes how annoy-
ing the alarm is and how often it goes off.
Massiminis team combined two well-
known medical devices. First, a coil deliv-
ers a powerful pulse of magnetism that trav-
els through the skull to stimulate the brain,
essentially knocking on it to say wake
up. Then an EEG, which measures brain
waves through electrodes attached to the
scalp, records the patterns of activity as
neurons re in response.
The nal trick: The researchers created a
formula to compare the complexity of
those resulting brain patterns by zipping
them, like digital les are compressed so
they can be emailed. They called the result-
ing numerical measurement the PCI, or per-
tubational complexity index.
The team compared tests from 32 healthy
people who were awake, asleep, dreaming
or anesthetized, and 20 people with a vari-
ety of serious brain injuries. The two
patients with locked-in syndrome clearly
were aware, scoring nearly as high as awake
and healthy people, they reported. The
patients diagnosed as being in a vegetative
state had scores as low as people rendered
unconscious by the most powerful anesthe-
sia. The minimally conscious were some-
where in-between.
The strategy could miss consciousness,
so it wouldnt give doctors enough infor-
mation for end-of-life decisions,
researchers caution.
But its a pioneering study that offers
highly promising leads, said Dr. Nicholas
Schiff, a professor of neurology and neuro-
science at Weill Cornell Medical College in
New York, who wasnt part of the project.
If its ultimately proven to work, the big-
ger impact could be in helping doctors
study whether patients improve when given
different treatments, added Dr. Lori Shutter,
a brain intensive care specialist at the
University of Pittsburgh, who also wasnt
involved with Wednesdays work.
But she cautioned that just nding a glim-
mer of consciousness could mislead fami-
lies hoping for a miracle long after the pos-
sibility for improvement is over.
This may provide a lot of insight,
Shutter said. The downside is once you
prove theres any consciousness, how will
a family react?
BRAIN
By Mike Stobbe
ATLANTA Adult obesity still isnt
budging, the latest government survey
shows.
The national telephone survey found 13
states with very high rates of obesity last
year. Overall, the proportion of U.S.
adults deemed obese has been about the
same for years now.
A plateau is better than rising num-
bers. But its discouraging because were
plateauing at a very high number, said
Kelly Brownell, a Duke University public
policy expert who specializes in obesity.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention does the survey each year, and
recently released 2012 results.
At least 30 percent of adults were obese
in 13 states: Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana,
Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan,
Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, South
Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia. In
2011, a dozen states reached that thresh-
old.
Louisiana and Mississippi led the list.
In both, nearly 35 percent of adults were
obese. Colorado was lowest, with less
than 21 percent obese.
Its not surprising states in the South
and Midwest top the charts year after year,
experts say. Many states in those regions
have higher poverty rates.
When you have a limited income, you
have to buy foods that are cheap. And
foods that are cheap tend to have a lot of
sugar and salt and fat, said Dr. George
Bray, an obesity expert at Louisiana State
University.
The CDC defines someone as obese if
their weight-to-height ratio - called a
body mass index hits 30 or higher. A
5-foot-9 person would be considered
obese at 203 pounds or more.
The CDCs annual telephone survey
asks adults their height and weight.
Overall, nearly 28 percent of Americans
were obese, the 2012 survey found. Thats
roughly the same as its been since 2008.
Another CDC survey which weighs
and measures participants is considered
more accurate. Since the middle of the last
decade, that survey has found that around
35 percent of U.S. adults are obese.
The story may be different with chil-
dren. A CDC study released last week
showed for the first time slight
drops in obesity for low-income
preschoolers in 18 states.
Experts called that report encouraging,
but note it studied children fed through a
federal program which provides food
vouchers and other services. The decline
in obesity was largely attributed to pro-
gram changes instituted in 2009
that eliminated juice from infant food
packages, provided less saturated fat, and
made it easier to buy fruit and vegeta-
bl es.
Obesity very high in 13 states; many in the South
When you have a limited income,
you have to buy foods that are cheap. And foods
that are cheap tend to have a lot of sugar and salt and fat.

counties are tied for the least afford-
able in the state, with only 17 percent
of people able to buy a home in those
jurisdictions, according to a study by
the California Association of
Realtors.
Statewide, people looking to buy a
house needed to earn a minimum of
$79,910 a year to qualify for a home at
the statewide median price of
$415,770. The countys median price
is about $550,000, while the median
household income is $85,684, accord-
ing to county statistics for this past
year. In 2012, household income need-
ed to be $117,400 or higher to afford
housing costs for a home, according to
the San Mateo County Association of
Realtors.
Home prices in San Mateo County
are up 22 percent since June 2012,
while housing inventory has dropped
by 27 percent in that same time frame,
according to the real estate data service
MLS Listings.
Steve Blanton, chief executive of-
cer at San Mateo County Association
of Realtors, said prices are denitely
rising due to lack of inventory. He has
seen this trend in the last year to a year
and a half.
There are other options, Blanton
said. It may not be the exact commu-
nity you want, as prices do vary from
community to community. There are
townhomes, condos, with moderate to
low-income options. I recommend
working closely with a Realtor to nd
out buying power, likes, wants and
needs.
But in the Bay Area those who might
afford a home elsewhere are nding
themselves challenged to even cover
rent which is itself increasing.
Lanelle Duran, another scal ofce
specialist with the San Mateo County
Parks Department, lives in the Kings
Mountain community right outside of
Woodside. She said in the grand
scheme of things she would denitely
be considered middle class, but consid-
ers herself lower class in the Bay Area.
I was born and raised here and I
dont want to leave, Duran said. A
couple years ago, I had to nd a place
to live for me and my son and housing
prices are criminal quite honestly. I
dont think $2,000 for one-bedroom is
realistic. Im not quite sure what is
driving the prices so high because
they dont match the incomes.
Recently, Duran received some trou-
bling news from her landlord. Her rent
will more than double when her lease is
up Oct. 31.
She [the landlord] said she was
online and realized she was under-
charging me and saw what the market
was and therefore made the decision to
raise my rent by slightly more than
100 percent, Duran said. Im a single
mom, my income is compared to what
the rents are, is really low. The new
rent hike she is asking for is my entire
take home paycheck. I now get to nd
out what its like to try and nd afford-
able housing for me and my boy.
Dan Heller was born in San Mateo in
1937 and works at the Peninsula
Jewish Community Center. He has
been on the lookout for new housing,
but he is not interested in shared hous-
ing programs offered by nonprots in
the area.
Rents are pretty high, Heller said.
Its hard to live alone. If I had a room-
mate it would be easier, but I value my
privacy and have lived alone for so
long.
For the moment, Heller has decided
to stay on his own and wait until an
affordable place of his own comes
along.

of the construction is expected to last
until Aug. 23. Sidewalk demolition is
anticipated to begin next Sunday, Aug.
25 between Park Road and Primrose
Road on the south side of Burlingame
Avenue. The eastbound lane of
Burlingame Avenue, toward California
Avenue, will also be closed at that
time.
Matt Zucca, streetscape project
supervisor with EKI Consulting, said
that so far the construction is on
schedule.
All people have seen is the
impact, Zucca said. They havent
seen the positive side. We certainly
hope by the time things open up, the
benets will be obvious.
The Park Road to Primrose Road sec-
tion will be likely completed, with the
exception of trees, bike racks and
newsstands around Thanksgiving.
One local retired resident, who chose
to withhold their name, has daily
breakfast meetings in Burlingame and
has seen the impact of the construc-
tion on businesses.
Most of the town fathers think its
going to slowly, they said. When
you talk to some of those shop owners
out there, small merchants are begin-
ning to feel the lack of walking trafc.
It just seems to me in this day and age,
a project like that ought to go a lot
faster. I dont see why they cant run
heavy duty crews; it could go a whole
lot faster and be less disruptive.
Ben Nielsen, an owner of
Copenhagen Bakery & Caf at 1216
Burlingame Ave., hopes business will
improve once construction is complet-
ed on his portion of the block.
Theyre doing a nice job, its just
way, way, way behind, Nielsen said.
Its killing outside [sitting] business
during the summer and nobodys going
to want to sit out there in the fall.
Business hasnt picked up any since it
started. The feedback from customers
is they dont want to hassle with con-
struction.
Syed Murtuza, Burlingames public
works director, said the recent feed-
back has been positive.
When the fences come down, peo-
ple are seeing the parking lanes laid
out and the paving constructed,
Murtuza said. Were pushing to get
the block completed.
Murtuza said its a misnomer that
there will be parking lost with the
move from slanted to parallel parking
spaces on the avenue.
Were only reducing the parking
spot number by 10 spaces on
Burlingame Avenue, Murtuza said.
We added spaces on Primrose Road
and Highland Avenue, so theres park-
ing in close proximity.
The beautification of Burlingame
Avenue includes more pedestrian-
friendly features, with sidewalks
widened from 10 to 16 feet, more land-
scaping and outside dining space.
Parking will move from slanted to par-
allel and the streets two lanes will be
thinned to a total of 20 feet.
Construction began in April and will
be suspended during the holiday sea-
son. The project is expected to be com-
pleted by the end of the summer 2014.

CAIRO A court ruling
Monday raised the possibility of
jailed ex-president Hosni Mubarak
walking free soon, a move that
would fuel the unrest roiling the
country after the autocratic
leaders successor was removed in
a military coup.
Underscoring the growing anger
over Mohammed Morsis ouster,
suspected Islamic militants
ambushed two minibuses carrying
off-duty policemen in Egypts
Sinai Peninsula, forcing the men
to lie on the sand and shooting 25
of them dead.
They were marked in advance
by the attackers, said Ashraf
Abdullah, who heads the police
branch the victims belonged to.
He said the assailants checked the
IDs of the men, who were not in
uniform, to ensure they were
policemen before opening re.
The brazen daylight attack
raised fears that the strategic
desert region bordering Israel and
the Gaza Strip could be plunged
into a full-edged insurgency.
The 25 slain police ofcers were
given a funeral with full military
honors presided over by Interior
Minister Mohammed Ibrahim,
who is in charge of the police, and
the armys chief of staff, Gen.
Sedki Sobhi.
In a show of solidarity, the
mens cofns, draped in red, white
and black Egyptian flags, were
jointly carried by army soldiers
and policemen, and interim
President Adly Mansour declared a
nationwide state of mourning to
mark their deaths.
Despite the violence, Cairo, a
bustling metropolis of some 18
million people, began to regain a
sense of normalcy although the
capital remained under a state of
emergency and a dusk-to-dawn cur-
few.
Daytime trafc was back to its
normal congested levels and
stores were open. Government
employees returned to work and
the Central Bank ordered banks,
which were operating on a reduced
9 a.m.-noon schedule, to remain
open for an additional hour on
Tuesday. A handful of protests
erupted in various parts of the city,
but they were small and led to no
violence.
Egypt: Court raises possibility of a free Mubarak

CAIRO The police captain
says he has memories of pretend-
ing to be dead, of men being
dragged around by cars, of a
policeman being told by his
attacker: We will give you a
slow death.
Mohammed Abdel-Hamid was
the sole survivor of an assault on
a police station a few kilometers
(miles) from the Pyramids in
which 15 police were killed by
supporters of deposed President
Mohammed Morsi. An ofcer in
his 20s, he lies in a police hospi-
tal in Cairo, shot in the shoulder
and leg, recounting to the
Associated Press what happened
in Kirdasah, an impoverished vil-
lage ordinarily known for its
handmade rugs.
This decades-old confrontation
between two perennial Egyptian
foes police and Islamists
has erupted anew after the ouster
of Mohammed Morsi, the elected
Islamist president on July 3. It
turned bloody on Wednesday,
when the military raided two
protest camps of Morsis sup-
porters in Cairo, killing hundreds
of people.
The Kirdasah attack began
three hours later, with the mob
peppering the police station with
rebombs and gunre.
Inside were Police Chief Gen.
Mohammed Gabr; his deputy,
Amer Abdel-Maksoud; and seven
other ofcers plus seven rank-
and-le policemen and soldiers.
The whole town was in the
streets protesting and chanting,
Abdel-Hamid. The siege went on
for six hours until we ran out of
ammunition and we got no rein-
forcements while the machine-
gun and automatic-weapons re
got heavier.
Rocket-propelled grenades
demolished the outside gates and
set vehicles on re, he said. The
last words he heard from the
police chief on the phone to
Cairo HQ were, We are going to
die here.
