With the countys jails already at capacity, ofcials are bracing for an inux of an additional 400 prisoners as the state has slashed the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitations budget dramatically. Gov. Jerry Brown signed two pieces of legislation to restructure the CDCR to save the state about $30 million annually. The move eliminates about 400 jobs at the state level and shifts some prisoner and parole responsibilities back to the
county level starting Oct. 1. San Mateo Police Chief Susan Manheimer is concerned the move to reduce the states prison population will potentially bring more gangmembers Susan Manheimer and other criminals back into the county, which could add an extra burden to the countys two already overcrowded jails. She has been designated to represent all the police chiefs in the county on the
matter and is also one of the state representatives on the governors panel. Assembly Bill 109, which Brown signed in April, limits the number of inmates who enter state prisons to only the more serious and violent criminals and places the duty of housing and rehabilitating the lower-level offenders to counties. AB 109, also known as the Realignment Legislation, reduces the number of state parole agents and other REUTERS monitors who closely supervise parolees San Mateo County ofcials are bracing for an inux of an when they re-enter society.

Documents containing personal information of approximately 1,500 Mills-Peninsula Health Services patients were removed from the facility over the course of a year and taken home by a mailroom employee, according to a hospital spokeswoman. The worker, who has since been terminated, took the documents between November 2009 and September 2010. The Burlingame hospital learned of the breach June 17 when a relative of the employee discovered the documents at the workers home and returned them to the hospital. The reason for the removal is murky.
We dont believe theyve been used for anything. We believe they just sat in a box, said Margie OClair, vice president of communications for Mills-Peninsula Health Services. The hospital reported the incident to the Burlingame police who are pursuing a criminal investigation, OClair said. All of the patients whose information was taken have been notied by mail although anyone with questions can contact Mills-Peninsula. The hospital is also offering one year of free credit monitoring and identity protection to the patients whose registration information, including addresses, insurance identication and Social Security numbers, were taken.

Litman, a Romanian-born artist who owns Adrian Litman Architectural Art & Design Studio in Fremont, works in several mediums including murals, mosaics, sculptures, fountains and wall treatments which facilitate the harmonious integration of art with architecture, according to his website. His work includes corporate and private projects and public art pieces like Laurel Wreath. Other area public installations include the Chinook Resurrection sculpture on the Napa River promenade, the Thriving Legacy fresco in Milpitas, animal-shaped copper pieces for the Palo Alto Humane Society and a fresco and several paintings for the lobby and ofces of DIAP architectural ofce in San Mateo. Laurel Wreath, or whatever piece is ultimately selected by ofcials, will be the citys rst piece of public art outside a ne art collection of paintings on the second oor of City Hall.

Someone in an SUV drove over a lawn and caused $4,500 worth of damage at the intersection of East Hillsdale and Edgewater boulevards in Foster City before 8:35 a.m. Sunday, June 26. The suspect was arrested for driving under the inuence.
The time for public art in San Carlos may be now literally. A piece entitled Laurel Wreath, a clock encircled by leaves, could nd its home in Laurel Street Park if the design meets the nal approval of city ofcials. The Arts and Culture Commission has already given the artwork the green light; next up is the Parks and Recreation Commission Wednesday night followed by the City Council. The piece by Bay Area artist Adrian Litman was chosen by a subcommittee of the Arts and Culture Commission from a pool of six possibilities. The commission dismissed a rst round of applicants completely before choosing Litmans work from the second set of submissions. The City Council set aside $12,500 in its current scal year capital improvement project budget specically to buy public art. The first $3,500 was left over from the 75th anniversary events and the remainder from a private donation, said Assistant City Manager Brian Moura.

Although the Arts and Culture Commission looked at the aesthetics of the piece, the Parks and Recreation Commission will judge it based on safety, scale and other non-visual considerations, said Parks and Recreation Director Doug Long. Laurel Wreath is actually a clock that will sit atop the kiosk in the downtown park. The metal leaves curl up and around the clock, holding it to a base that will crown the existing structure. However, Long points out, the piece still needs two more sets of approval before

Two former mayors will duke it out this election season for the right to be called city clerk in Belmont come November. Belmont Vice Mayor Dave Warden pulled election papers yesterday for the job currently held by Terri Cook, who led her papers last week. Warden plans to seek signatures for his nomination starting tonight at National Night Out block parties being held throughout Belmont. I have a lot of ideas about running that ofce that would serve the city well, Warden told the Daily Journal yesterday. Warden is in the middle of a four-year term on the council, which he was elected to in 2009. He rst ran for a City Council seat back in 1999, when he was ironically endorsed by Cook, who was on the council at the time. Warden, 49, served as mayor in 2002 and 2005 and was on the Parks and Recreation
Commission before being re-elected to the council in 2009. He served on the citys Planning Commission before that and is a medical software developer. Cook, 53, was rst elected to the City Council in Dave Warden 1997 after serving on the Planning Commission. She ran unopposed for city clerk in 2003 after being re-elected to the council in 2001. She also ran unopposed in the 2007 election. Both were born and raised in Belmont. The city clerks position is a full-time job in Terri Cook Belmont and gets paid about $95,000 a year. Warden said he would slash the salary immediately and perhaps change the role of
clerk from being a full-time position to something more part time. Mayor Coralin Feierbach does not want to see Warden leave the council but said he must have a good reason to run for city clerk. Maybe he thinks he can streamline the department, Feierbach said. He is great on the council and I know he is very competitive.

PG&E is holding two community meetings in San Mateo County this week to discuss the utilitys upcoming pressure tests on gas pipelines in Burlingame, San Mateo and Hillsborough. The company began performing water pressure, or hydrostatic, tests on more than 150 miles of its natural gas transmission system in May, partly in response to the Sept. 9 explosion in San Bruno, PG&E spokesman Joe Molica said. The open house meetings will give PG&E officials a chance to explain to residents what they can expect while the tests are being conducted, spokeswoman Brittany Chord said. Hydrostatic tests require a section of pipeline to be temporarily taken out of service, emptied of natural gas and filled with water, Chord said. Sometimes, residents can detect a gas smell during the process. PG&E has notified residents living within 500 feet of the pipelines about the tests, Chord said. The first community meeting will take place at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Crystal Springs Golf Course Clubhouse at 6650 Golf Course Drive in Burlingame. Another meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Highlands Recreation Center at 1851 Lexington Ave. in San Mateo. The exact dates that PG&E crews will begin the tests have not been determined, Chord said.

streams and rivers at a time of year when nature in Yosemite is supposed to be relatively tranquil. For Haley LaFlamme, 26, it likely was the unseasonable rain that brewed on the day her group of four secured a rare permit to ascend the enormous, smooth granite dome, the parks iconic feature. They were among a group of about 20 hikers who were braving the trip to the summit despite the wet conditions, slippery granite and distant lightning and thunder. The permits limit trafc on the popular 8.5-mile climb. LaFlamme was using the cables that park ofcials install during the hiking season to help with the steep and sometimes slippery footing up the nal pitch of the granite dome. At about 11 a.m. people in the park began to send messages on Twitter about a raging thunder storm with rain. At noon, Yosemites emergency communication center received a 911 call reporting a hiker had fallen at the bottom of the cables, where the granite trail becomes less steep and the cables end. Cobb says LaFlamme fell 600 feet from the shoulder. She was dead at the scene. Between 2006 and 2010, 38 people died in the park and 1,225 had to be rescued at a cost of more than $3 million. Nearly 4 million people visit the park every year. Most of those who get themselves in trouble in Yosemite are day hikers who are unprepared for the challenges and changing conditions of the wilderness, according to Search and Rescue records at Yosemite.
YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK A woman slipped to her death Sunday while descending Half Dome in the rain, the latest accident at Yosemite National Park in a year that is breaking records for the deadliest in recent history. Fourteen people have died so far this year, including three who were swept over Vernal Fall two weeks ago while taking photographs upstream in the Merced River. In 2007, seven people were killed at the park, the most in any recent year until this one. One factor in the high number of deaths is a record snowfall that has created treacherous snowmelt, swelling
NEW YORK Same-sex marriage might seem like a straightforward issue: Youre for it or against it. Yet for the eld of Republican presidential hopefuls, its proving to be an awkward topic as public attitudes change and more states legalize gay unions, the latest being New York. Numerous recent polls suggest a slim majority of Americans now back gay marriage. Support is highest among Democrats, but is growing across the political spectrum even while religious conservatives a key part of the GOP primary electorate remain largely opposed. The result, according to political analysts from both major parties, is a dilem-
ma for the leading GOP candidates, most of whom oppose same-sex marriage but tend to avoid raising the topic unless asked. They see the polling more and more Republicans are supporting gay marriage, said David Welch, a former research director for the Republican National Committee. It puts them in an awkward position with the younger members of the party and also with independents whose votes you need to win. Richard Socarides, a former Clinton White House adviser on gay rights, said the political climate has changed rapidly and dramatically as leading Democrats celebrate the advent of gay marriage in New York and the imminent end of the ban on gays serving openly in the military under President Barack Obama.

House OKs debt State officials discuss effect of fed debt deal
By Judy Lin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Emergency legislation to scrape past an economy-rattling national nancial default sped through the House Monday night a scant day before the deadline for action. The moment was made all the more electric by Rep. Gabrielle Giffords rst appearance in Congress since being shot in the head six months earlier. The vote was 269-161, but all eyes were on Giffords, who drew thunderous applause as she walked into the House chamber unannounced and cast her vote in favor of the bill. A nal Senate sign-off for the measure is virtually assured on Tuesday. If the bill were presented to the president, he would sign it, the White House said, an understatement of enormous proportions. After months of ercely partisan struggle, the Houses top Republican and Democratic leaders swung behind the bill, ratifying a deal sealed Sunday night with a phone call from House Speaker John Boehner to President Barack Obama. The legislation will solve this debt crisis and help get the American people back to work, Boehner said at a news conference a few hours before the vote. The Democratic leader, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, was far less effusive. Im not happy with it, but Im proud of some of the accomplishments in it. Thats why Im voting for it.

U.S. Rep.Gabrielle Giffords,center,waves to colleagues on the oor of the House of Representatives,moments after the House voted to raise the U.S. borrowing limit.
So, too, many of the rst-term Republicans whose election in 2010 handed the GOP control of the House and set the federal government on a new, more conservative course. Its about time that Congress come together and gure out a way to live within our means, said one of them, Sean Duffy of Wisconsin. This bill is going to start that process although it doesnt go far enough. The measure would cut federal spending by at least $2.1 trillion over a decade and possibly considerably more and would not require tax increases. The U.S. debt limit would rise by at least $2.1 trillion, tiding the Treasury over through the 2012 elections. Without legislation in place by the end of Tuesday, the Treasury would run out of cash needed to pay all its bills. Administration ofcials say a default would ensue that would severely damage the economy. Beyond merely avoiding disaster, Obama and congressional leaders hoped their extraordinary accord would reassure investors at home and around the world, preserve the United States Aaa credit rating and begin to slow the growth in Americas soaring debt. In a rollercoaster day on Wall Street, the Dow Jones industrial average surged, then sank and nally nished down for a seventh straight session but only slightly.
SACRAMENTO State lawmakers and policy analysts on Monday were trying to gure out how the tentative federal deal to cut $900 billion over the next decade could affect California. So far, its unclear. The state is expecting $79 billion from the federal government this year, much of it money thats passed through to local governments, schools and individuals for health care, education, law enforcement and transportation. The state is expected to spend another $129.5 billion of its own funds generated by tax revenues and bonds. The deal in Washington, D.C., appears to result in little reductions in federal aid in the short term, but more substantial and unspecied cuts will
have to follow in future years, said Jason Sisney of the nonpartisan Legislative Analysts Ofce. That could come at a time when the state and local governments are still dealing with their own decits. Californias ability to recover and create jobs will depend on the depth and targets of federal spending reductions and revenue solutions made in the coming months, Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg said in a statement. The compromise calls for initial cuts of more than $900 billion in federal agency budgets, but it will be phased in over 10 years with larger cuts coming later in the decade. According to the Congressional Budget Ofce, next years cuts would amount to only $21 billion out of total federal spending exceeding $3.6 trillion.
WASHINGTON A military ghting three wars is staring down budget cuts of up to $850 billion over a decade, some of the deepest reductions since the end of the Cold War. Yet under the compromise struck by President Barack Obama and congressional leaders to avert the
nations rst-ever nancial default, the near-term impact on the troops, aircraft, ships and weapons may be far less onerous than Republicans and Democrats fear. Congress was expected to approve the overall plan to slash more than $2 trillion from federal spending over a decade and permit the nations $14.3 trillion borrowing cap to rise by up to $2.4 trillion and send it to President Barack Obama for his signature.

COLUMBUS, Ohio Ohio University, set in an Appalachian town known for its rowdy Halloween bashes, has been named the nations No. 1 party school, pushing the University of Georgia down a slot in the 2011 Princeton Review survey released Monday. Ohio was No. 2 in last years survey of students nationwide. The campus in Athens, about 65 miles southeast of Columbus, has made the party school list 12 times since 1997, but has never before reached the top. Rounding out the top ve this year were No. 3 University of Mississippi, No. 4 University of Iowa and No. 5 University of California Santa Barbara. The Princeton Review survey is part of its 2012 edition of The Best 376 Colleges, which includes 61 other rankings in categories such as best professors (Wellesley College in Massachusetts), most beautiful campus (Florida Southern College) best campus food (Wheaton College in Illinois) and highest financial aid satisfaction (Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania). Brigham Young University in Utah tops the list of stone-cold sober schools for the 14th straight year. Ohio Universitys party reputa-

tion has long vexed administrators at the riverside school of about 20,000 students, and policies have been beefed up over the years in an attempt to reduce student drinking. Among efforts are strong antidrinking messages at freshmen orientations, tougher penalties on students for alcohol violations and added surveillance during the
Halloween street party, which is not sanctioned by the university. We take seriously our responsibility to help our students succeed in all facets of their experience, including addressing high-risk behavior, Dean of Students Ryan Lombardi said in a statement Monday. We are disappointed in the party school ranking as it is not
indicative of the overall experience of Ohio students and does not match the data we have collected. In formal complaints regarding violations of Ohios student code of conduct, about 60 percent are listed as alcohol-related in recent academic years, according to statistics posted online by the University Judiciaries, the schools disciplinary division. In 2010-2011, 1,213 complaints, making up 59 percent of the total, involved alcohol, the numbers show. The Halloween revelry dates to the 1970s and typically attracts at least 20,000 people to downtown Athens streets. Arrests and citations during the party, mostly for alcohol and disorderly conduct violations, have at times reached more than 200 in recent years. The event spun out of control in 2003, when then-Athens Police Chief Rick Mayer called the bash the worst event to date after rioting partiers lit couches on fire, started ghts and threw bottles at ofcers and reghters. Kent Smith, vice president for student affairs at Ohio University, said the school has seen a decrease in what administrators call highrisk behavior. Thats when a student has five or more alcoholic drinks in a single setting during a two-week period. Though, he acknowledged there are students who may be hitting the bars more than the books.

OPINION
in our community, from alcohol advertisements to grafti walls. We asked ourselves, What are the messages that we are receiving in Redwood City? What is normal in our community in regards to drugs and alcohol? The pictures we took, along with narratives of our observations and suggestions for changes that would promote healthy messaging, became our Photovoice Project, which we presented to as many groups as possible, including parents, students and local policy makers. Many of the photos we took revolved around the theme of mixed messages. Along with the picture of the adjacent billboards on Middleeld Road, we captured photos of alcopops, alcohol and juice combinations that are marketed to young teens like soda, with bright wrappings and innocent avors such as peach and apple. We are told that alcohol is for adults, so why is it marketed toward teens? In the numerous presentations we gave to parent audiences, many adults did not even know that these products were alcoholic some had accidentally bought them for their children. Our drug and alcohol research brought us into the home setting as well. Prescription drug abuse among teens is on the rise. Often, these drugs are found in their homes, and include unused or expired medications that were not properly disposed of. Though misuse of prescription drugs is the fastest growing drug abuse problem, the issue is largely overlooked. Our presentations brought attention to prescription drug abuse and encouraged policy makers to make expired medications easier to dispose of in our community by creating greater numbers of dropoff locations. Despite the pressure that teens receive daily to use drugs and alcohol, we also discovered positive outlets for teens in Redwood City. For example, one of our pictures depicts a wall devoted to urban art in North Fair Oaks. By setting aside a place for teens
Mixed messages?
By Alicia Mergenthaler
hen it comes to alcohol and drug use, we are constantly inundated with messages, many of them contradictory. On Middleeld Road in unincorporated North Fair Oaks, a prevention ad: Do not serve alcohol to kids under 21 in English is directly adjacent to: Tecate: for those that want it all! in Spanish. What are the messages that we, as local teens, are receiving in Redwood City? For the last four years, I have been working with a group of fellow students to create awareness of the mixed messages teens get about alcohol. Our group of Redwood City teens from ve different schools and from diverse backgrounds was brought together by our passion for this work. Some of us have seen our family and friends adversely affected by drugs and alcohol and others (like me) simply wanted a way to make some kind of difference in our community. We found our opportunity through the Redwood City and North Fair Oaks Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention Partnership, a collaborative effort led by Redwood City 2020. RWC 2020 is a healthy community partnership that includes the city of Redwood City, Redwood City Elementary School District, Sequoia Union High School District, San Mateo County, Sequoia Healthcare District, Kaiser Permanente and the John W. Gardner Center for Youth and Their Communities, Stanford University (www.rwc2020.org). The Prevention Partnership is comprised of 11 local organizations committed to promoting healthy messages and reducing drug and alcohol abuse in youth. As youth leaders working together with adults in the partnership, we hoped to make other youth aware of the messages they were being inuenced by every day. We also wanted to make them aware of positive alternatives to drug and alcohol use. With support from our adult partners, we went around Redwood City and North Fair Oaks, taking pictures of what stood out to us

id you fast? asked the lab receptionist. The query was a simple enough question and probably about the only one I could have answered properly at that hour on an empty stomach and a bloodstream devoid of the requisite morning caffeine kick start. But obviously either I must be a genius or the word fast is highly confusing. Did you fast? I heard the receptionist ask the next patient, as I waded through forms, signing when I should be printing and placing the city of residence on the wrong line and initially nowhere near the highlighted boxes. Huh? was the most common response I heard. Did you fast? Have you eaten anything? she would patiently explain. Oh no, of course not, he replied. My doctor told me not to do that. His voice implied she was an idiot on par with my form-erring self. Again and again the scenario repeated which is impressive considering how short a spell I spent in the waiting room. Did you fast? Whats that? She somehow managed not to sound annoyed. These did not appear to be children or adults that were English-challenged or particularly education decient. In fact, most were of an age which, to put it delicately, likely means theyd already had numerous blood draws in their lifetimes. So at what point did the denition of fast fall away? Think of the word breakfast. Its a meal. A meal that breaks the fast. The fast meaning a period of not eating. It shouldnt be that complicated. Its one word. One syllable. A standard direction for medical tests, even. Given my own inability to ll out a medical form properly in a food- and caffeine-deprived state, though, Ill given them the benet of the doubt. Maybe low blood sugar and not illiteracy was to blame. Goodness knows I was grumpy enough which, on a side note, makes me wonder how anybody uses not eating as a political tool. Mubarak? Ghandi? Chavez? Even the Pelican Bay prisoners who are currently protesting conditions? Granted, the food offered up in the California Department of Corrections might not rate a third Michelin star but at least it is some form of sustenance. Fasting for a blood test is frankly no big deal, at least on paper. Ten or 12 hours is essentially a night of shut-eye give or take some time before retiring or after waking up. In fact, 12 hours during the day is not even out of the question in between work and chores and this and that and the other thing. How else to explain that ravenous grumbling around dinner time when you realize youve had nothing since that mid-morning bagel? Yet the minute youre told not to eat or drink, thats exactly what you want to do. The clock hits 8:30 or 9 at night, beginning the 12-hour vigil until lab time the following morning. Piece of cake that is until about 30 minutes later when its all you can do not to crave that exact dessert. In the morning, you must gauge just the right alarm setting allowing enough time for hygiene but not enough to feel the absence of coffee. The delicate balance required means anybody who has done so will have no problem recalling at the lab whether or not theyve sworn off food and beverage. When the receptionist asks, Did you fast? the reply should be, Why else do you think Im here so early? Im trying to get this over with so I can eat! Alas, that leaves complete ignorance of the words denition as the only explanation for the confusion over fast. Maybe the test they really need is comprehension.

<< Giants put Zito on disabled list, page 13 Sides far apart in NBA labor dispute, page 14
SAN FRANCISCO Andrew Luck can grab the attention of a room these days without muttering a word. Sporting a buzz cut and a cleanshaven face, Stanfords standout quarterback created the biggest stir during Bay Area media day Monday just by showing up without his scruffy beard. It was impulsive, he said. I just woke up and decided to shave it. Oh, the landscape sure has changed in the region. With so much hoopla surrounding
the Cardinal and their Heisman hopeful this season, rival California and San Jose State nd themselves working to crawl out of their Andrew Luck neighbors shadow. The extra expectations on Stanford are not only adding to the areas intrigue, its giving players and coaches on the opposite side extra motivation to regain the spotlight.
It just leaves a bad taste in your mouth whenever you lose to them, Cal senior offensive lineman Mitchell Schwartz said. So you try not to focus too much on them, you try to focus on yourself. But its in the back of your mind a little. You know whats happening. Whats happening is a Cardinal takeover. Luck, the Heisman Trophy-runner up to Auburns Cam Newton last year, returns after putting off being the NFL drafts likely No. 1 pick and several starters are back from a 12-1 team that nished fourth in the nal AP poll, the
schools best ranking since the unbeaten 1940 team nished second. Stanford also could be a preseason Top 10 pick and the heavy favorite to challenge Oregon in the North Division for a spot in the inaugural Pac-12 championship game. The major concern for the Cardinal is the coaching turnover. New coach and former offensive coordinator David Shaw takes over for Jim Harbaugh, who brought some of his staff along with him to the San Francisco 49ers, leaving Shaw with the burden of making sure Stanford doesnt slip.
Last year was great, but every team every year has to build its own momentum, Shaw said. Stanfords rival across the bay is carrying that philosophy into fall practice. Coach Jeff Tedfords Golden Bears are in the unusual spot of being overshadowed by the Cardinal. Cal is coming off a disappointing 5-7 season, the programs rst losing campaign since a 1-10 showing in 2001 and it stings even worse with three straight tough losses to end last year, costing them a bowl game.
Radio drama
hile soap operas make their last gasp on television, there is some drama percolating in the Bay Area sports talk radio arena. Big changes are afoot at KNBR 680 and 1050, just as the new kid on the block 95.7 FM The Game comes out with a new name and a new lineup. Listening to their promotional commercials, The Game has the KNBR juggernaut squarely in its sights. Whether the Bay Areas only FM sports talk radio station can make any inroads on The Sports Leader turf remains to be seen, but it appears 95.7 is making a serious go at it. Dont know if its just coincidence or not, but the same day The Game hits the airwaves, KNBR had a slew of shakeups of their shows. Add to the fact a number of KNBR correspondents the various beat reporters from Comcast Sports Net hooking up with 95.7, one has to wonder if KNBR feels threatened. The biggest change at KNBR is the pairing of KNBR 1050s Damon Bruce with longtime morning host Gary Radnich. Equally as big was the fact the show and

MANKATO, Minn. Randy Moss dominated when he wanted to dominate. He scored when he wanted to score, cooperated when he wanted to cooperate and acted out when he wanted to act out. Moss spent 13 seasons doing things on his own terms, which is why perhaps the loudest career the NFL has ever seen both in terms of the roars he induced on the eld and the aggravation he caused off it ended so quietly on Monday.
No farewell speech from maybe the most physically gifted receiver to don a helmet. No tearful goodbye from a record-setting performer who Randy Moss changed the way defense is played in the NFL. Just a one-sentence statement from his agent saying one of the most colorful careers in league history was over. Randy has weighed his options and considered the offers and has decided
to retire, Joel Segal said on Monday. It was vintage Moss, a revolutionary talent who was never very much interested in doing things the conventional way. Fans were awed by his once-in-ageneration blend of size, speed and intelligence. Teammates were charmed by the charisma he showed behind closed doors and coaches were often infuriated by his boorish antics and lack of respect for authority. I dont know if anybody can totally pin down who Randy Moss is, said Tim DiPiero, one of Moss rst agents said last year. If this indeed is the end for Moss, he
leaves the game with some of the gaudiest statistics posted by a receiver. His 153 touchdowns are tied with Terrell Owens for second on the career list, and hes also fth in yards (14,858) and tied with Hines Ward for eighth in receptions (954). In a lot of ways, he was the Michael Jordan of offenses in our league, Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said. He was a special player for a long, long time. Those numbers, and his status as perhaps the best deep threat in NFL history, will make him a strong candidate for the Hall of Fame. But voters will also be weighing those achieve-
ments and his six Pro Bowl seasons against a history of mailing in performances and a reputation as a coach killer. As Moss himself famously said: I play when I want to play. And when he wanted to, there was no one better. And when he didnt, there was no one more destructive. Trouble off the eld in high school prevented Moss from attending Notre Dame or Florida State, so he landed at Marshall and scored 54 touchdowns in two electrifying seasons with the Thundering Herd.

questions about whether he will stay in Oakland. Zach was a Raider last year, we want him to be a Raider now, coach Hue Jackson said. That thing is going to come to a head here soon. It has to. I feel good about where we are and, hopefully, hell get Kamerion back to us, well get back Wimbley to him, and well try to get something resolved. Oakland gave out big deals in the offseason to keep defensive tackle Richard Seymour and cornerback Stanford Routt and placed the franchise tag on Wimbley to keep him for at least another year. Wimbley had been set to play for the $11.3 million franchise tag tender before agreeing to the long-term deal that makes him one of the highest-paid linebackers in the game. Now he knows he will have to deal with the pressure that comes with his lofty salary. The new contract has to be earned so I definitely look forward to the opportunity to go out and playing and earning every bit of the contract, he said. Indy has been looking to upgrade its defensive line and the hope is Anderson could help stop the run. The Colts took defensive end Jerry Hughes with their rst-round pick in 2010 and defensive tackle Drake Nevis in the third round this year. Its been quite a year so far for Wimbley and his contract. The Raiders originally hoped to use a $3.5 million buyback option to keep Wimbley under contract for next season for just over $4.1 million. But the NFL determined in February that the deal violated rules prohibiting base salaries rising more than 30 percent in a year. That led to the Raiders decision to use the franchise tag. Then with Oakland looking to lower this years salary cap hit from the $11.3 million franchise tag, Wimbley got an even bigger deal that spreads out the salary cap hit. The Raiders showed how important Kamerion is to the franchise, said his agent, Joe Linta. He is elated and happy to make his future with the Raiders and help get them a championship. Wimbley entered the NFL with high expectations after being drafted 13th overall by the Cleveland Browns in 2006. He had 11 sacks as a rookie in a promising start to his career. He was unable to match that production in his nal three seasons in Cleveland, recording 15 1/2 sacks in that stretch and was traded to Oakland by new president Mike Holmgren for a third-round pick. Wimbley quickly thrived in Oakland, playthe deal has not been announced. A Patriots spokesman did not respond to an inquiry about Light. A three-time Pro Bowl selection, Light has been protecting Tom Bradys blind side for 10 years. He started every game last season at left tackle. The Patriots drafted a tackle, Nate Solder, with their rst pick in this years draft.
NAPA The Oakland Raiders once again spent big to lock up one of their own key players, signing a ve-year, $48 million contract with linebacker Kamerion Wimbley on Monday that gives the team more room under the salary cap and Wimbley $29 million in guarantees. It was in my best interest and the teams best interest to try to work out something long term to try to get some players in here this year to help make us a better team, Wimbley said. I was with that. Id just like to thank Al Davis and the Raiders organization to allow me the opportunity to be here for more years and to give me the chance to prove myself and play for the Raiders. Now the question remains whether the Raiders will be able to use the salary cap savings to get two more of their free agents into camp: unrestricted tight end Zach Miller and restricted running back Michael Bush. Miller, who has led the Raiders in receiving the past three years, was reportedly in Seattle visiting the Seahawks on Monday, raising
ing outside linebacker in the base 4-3 defense and then moving to defensive end in passing situations to take advantage of his pass-rushing skills. He is so versatile, linebacker Quentin Groves said. He is big and athletic, can stop the run on rst and second down and then rush the passer on third down. He is a great guy in the locker room as well. If somebody has a question, they go to Kam. He is a silent leader. He leads by actions and by example. He doesnt say a whole lot, but every now and then he tries to joke around a little bit. Couldnt have happened to a nicer guy. He led Oakland with nine sacks last season and is being counted on for even more this year. Hes a tremendous player, a tremendous young player, Jackson said. I know he has nothing but an unbelievable upside ahead of him. Nine sacks a year ago, I expect more than that, more of that, and hell do that for this organization. NOTES: The Raiders get a day off Tuesday. ... S Mike Mitchell missed practice with what Jackson described as a nick. ... Jackson said the Raiders talked to free agent LB Lofa Tatupu, recently released by Seattle. before taking over as the starting quarterback last year and capping a terric, highlight-lled season by being selected the APs Comeback Player of the Year.

Free agent defensive lineman Anderson joins Colts
ANDERSON, Ind. Former rst-round draft pick Jamaal Anderson has agreed to terms with the Indianapolis Colts and is expected to arrive at training camp Tuesday. Agent Joel Segal conrmed the deal, but would not disclose terms of the contract. The Atlanta Falcons took the 6-foot-6, 289pound defensive lineman with the No. 8 overall selection in 2007. But the Arkansas alum never lived up to expectations. In 47 career starts, he had 83 tackles and 4 1/2 career sacks.

Kennedys big night also helped Arizona pull within one game of the defending World Series champion Giants in the division race.

Beltran grounded into an inning-ending double play in the eighth with two runners aboard and his team trailing by three. Beltran had gone 2 for 17 in his initial four games since the New York Mets traded him last Thursday. The Giants are 1-4 since Beltran arrived. Fellow newcomer, shortstop Orlando Cabrera, went 1 for 4. The Diamondbacks have high expectations for a new guy of their own and rst baseman Paul Goldschmidt quickly showed why.

SAN FRANCISCO Barry Zito is headed back to the disabled list. Giants manager Bruce Bochy told The Associated Press of the decision before his NL West-leading San Francisco team opened a 10game homestand Monday night with the rst of three games against second-place Arizona. The Giants later made a formal announcement that they had placed Zito on the disabled list with a recurrence of his earlier right foot sprain that rst landed him there. He is 3-4 with
a 5.62 ERA in nine starts. The struggling left-hander met with Bochy twice before the game to discuss the clubs options, one day after the $126 million pitcher lost his third straight in a 9-0 defeat at Cincinnati. His velocity was regularly clocked at 82 Barry Zito mph, apparently a sign to the Giants he still isnt right. Lefty Jonathan Sanchez will come off the disabled list to start Friday night against the Philadelphia Phillies,
so the Giants needed to clear a spot in the rotation and tting Zito into an already reliable bullpen wasnt something the Giants wanted to do. When Zito missed time earlier this year with a sprained right foot he hurt attempting to eld a bunt, it was the 2002 AL Cy Young Award winners rst career stint on the disabled list. The 33-year-old Zito is in year ve of a seven-year contract he received before the 2007 season. He was left off the postseason roster for all three rounds last year when the Giants captured their rst World Series title since moving West in 1958.
SEATTLE Dustin Ackley continued his hitting tear with a pair of extra-base hits, including a bases-loaded triple, rookie righty Blake Beavan escaped early trouble to pitch well into the seventh and the Seattle Mariners beat the Oakland Athletics 8-4 on Monday night. Ackley now has 19 extra-base hits in his rst 37 games. Its the secondhighest total for any Mariners rookie in their first 50 games. Ackley passed Ken Griffey Jr.s total of 18 with his triple in the second and a double in Trevor Cahill the fourth. Alvin Davis had 26 extra-base hits in his rst 50 games during the 1984 season when he was the AL rookie of the year. Ackley led a barrage of 16 hits that knocked Oakland starter Trevor Cahill (9-10) out after just four innings, his second shortest outing of the season. Beavan (2-2) escaped a bases-loaded, none out jam in the rst inning without giving up a run and then held the As to just one hit over the next ve innings.

Stern not optimistic Suspect on a rampage before attacking Stow about labor dispute
By Thomas Watkins
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
By Brian Mahoney
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK David Stern returned to the bargaining table Monday and said nothing gave him reason for encouragement. And for that, the NBA Commissioner pointed the blame in one place. I dont feel optimistic about the players willingness to engage in a serious way, Stern said. So the rst meeting to include leadership from owners and players since the lockout began exactly a month ago produced nothing new except blame. A downcast Stern, who long maintained he was optimistic during this collective bargaining process, said that was no longer the case. He added nothing had changed since the last meeting on June 30, hours before the old deal expired, and said he doesnt feel players are bargaining in good faith. Players contend that although owners insist they are committed to making a deal, their proposals say otherwise. Neither side offered a new one Monday, exactly three months before the Nov. 1 scheduled opening of the regular season that seems more in doubt than ever. Stern and Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver were joined by San Antonio owner Peter Holt, who heads the labor relations committee, and Board of Governors chairman and Minnesota owner Glen Taylor represented ownership. Players association Executive Director Billy Hunter, and President Derek Fisher and Vice President Theo Ratliff, both of the Lakers, attended along with union attorneys. Its a tough position to be in, Fisher said. I think Peter, Glen Taylor, Commissioner Stern, Adam Silver are articulating certain things in the
room, expressing their desire to get a deal done, but where their proposal lies makes it hard to believe that. So were continuing to try to work around whats been said and really focus on the deal on the table, and right now were still a very, David Stern very long way from getting a deal done. Stern disputed Fishers take on the owners actions. Hes entitled to draw his own conclusion, Stern said. We have absolutely the opposite take on it. Fisher said the sides would try to meet at least two or three more times in August. Stern said there is always reason to have meetings, yet made it clear owners feel not enough is happening during them. Right now we havent seen any movement, he said, adding theres still a very wide gap between us. That was left over from late June. Owners are seeking massive changes to the leagues salary structure, saying they lost $300 million last season and hundreds of millions more in each year of the previous CBA, which was ratied in 2005. Players have acknowledged losses but dispute theyre as large as owners say, and have balked at the leagues desire to institute a hard salary cap, slash salaries and reduce the maximum length of contracts. That has created the possibility of lost games because of a work stoppage for only the second time in league history. The 1998-99 season was reduced to 50 games, and players have been preparing for the potential of something similar, with many saying they would consider playing overseas to have a paycheck.
August 7, 2011
Coyote Point San Mateo
LOS ANGELES The brawling began soon after the Dodgers beat the rival San Francisco Giants on opening day, and ended with a paramedic on the ground with a brain injury. Newly released details in the attack that outraged baseball fans across the nation indicate that suspects Louie Sanchez and Marvin Norwood initially went after a group of young Giants fans in the stadium parking lot, with Sanchez taking a swing at one of them. Detectives think he may have hit other fans in the same group, though no Bryan Stow one else has come forward. Then, Bryan Stow and a group of friends walked past as Sanchez stood by his sisters car. Sanchez hit two of them before chasing down Stow and punching him from behind in the side of his head, prosecuLouie Sanchez tors said in a court document led Monday. Stows friends, who are paramedics, describe that Stow immediately lost consciousness and fell sideways to the ground without breaking his fall, the document states. When Stows head hit the ground witnesses heard his head impact the conMarvin crete and saw it bounce. Norwood Sanchez then kicked the unconscious Stow several times in the head while Stows friends tried to shield him with their bodies, prosecutors said. Norwood is also accused of kicking Stow then standing over his prone body and saying, Who else wants to ght? The document, led as part of a bail reduction hearing for Sanchez, provided the fullest account yet of the attack that left Stow near death and has kept him hospitalized for four months. Sanchez, 29, and Norwood, 30, have been charged with mayhem, assault, battery and other counts in the beating of Stow. On
Monday, a judge continued the request to reduce bail for Sanchez from $500,000 to $100,000. Arraignment for both men was set for Aug. 10. Matthew Lee, one of the men with Stow who was also attacked, was going to be a witness but died over the weekend from an allergic reaction after eating a peanut, police Cmdr. Andy Smith said. The document portrays Sanchez as leading a rampage against Giants fans during and after the March 31 game. The trouble started inside the stadium, when Sanchez threw a soda at a woman. When her companion yelled at Sanchez, Norwood had to hold Sanchez back to stop him from attacking the man, the document states. Prosecutors also provided photos of weapons and ammunition they said were seized at Norwoods house, including an AR15 rie with a scope, pistol-grip shotgun and revolver. Norwood allegedly told police he was holding the guns for Sanchez because Sanchez could not keep them at his parents home where he was staying. Sanchezs attorney, Gilbert Quinones, said he had not seen enough evidence in the case to comment. A woman who answered the phone at Sanchezs home hung up without commenting Monday. Last week, Sanchezs father Luis Sanchez said he was frustrated with media coverage of the case and wanted to speak out but had been told by lawyers not to. Its on the tip of my tongue. I want to, but no comment, the father said at the family home on a quiet cul-de-sac in Rialto, east of Los Angeles. A message left at the home of Norwoods mother home was not immediately returned. Prosecutors also outlined Sanchezs criminal past. His adult rap sheet includes battery on a spouse or cohabitant in 2003. He completed a yearlong domestic violence course as part of the case. In 2004, he was arrested for carrying a loaded rearm in a car and the following year he was convicted of driving under the inuence. In 2005, he was arrested again for DUI after leading police on a high-speed chase through a residential community. It is clear from the crimes charged and from his criminal history that defendant Sanchez is completely incapable of controlling his behavior or obeying court orders, the document states.

SAN JOSE The relationship between San Jose and newly acquired Brent Burns has gotten off to such a good start that the All-Star defenseman signed a five-year, $28.8 million contract extension Monday before even suiting up for the Sharks. To have a chance to talk about signing the extension it was a nobrainer for us, Burns said. We have a little bit of security for our family and I can just concentrate on playing hockey and training and get ready for the year. The Sharks made the move to acquire Burns from Minnesota during the draft in June, trading a package headlined by talented forward Devin Setoguchi for the big, puckmoving defenseman that San Jose had been seeking. With Burns having just one year remaining on his contract at the time of the deal, the Sharks were taking a risk giving up Setoguchi, 2010 rstround pick Charlie Coyle and their 2011 rst-round pick for what could have been a one-year rental.

probably gures if it wants to keep Bruce, its probably going to have to give him a prime slot. Todays shakeup appears to be the last, an evolution that began with the morning trafc/update guy, Dan Dibley, moving over to FM and 95.7, and now nishes with the awkward pairing of Radnich and Bruce. There may be changes in store for the noon to 3 p.m. slot of Bob Fitzgerald and Rod Brooks, who team together for Fitz and Brooks. Fitzgerald is on vacation and Brooks was joined by prodigal son Larry Kruger, who was banished six years ago for what some perceived to be a racist-tinged diatribe about the Giants and then-manager Felipe Alou. To be honest, Ive felt Bruce was kind of a copy of Kruger, who he replaced on Sports Phone 680. Kruger is not afraid to give his opinion (at least he wasnt; lets see how he is following his exile) and has a passion for all sports. Much like Bruce. 95.7, which is the Oaklands As agship station and soon-to-be home for the San Jose Sharks, came online a few months ago once the As negotiations with an AM station fell through. Dibley was the rst name guy to make an appearance on 95.7, working a couple weeks with Scott Jackson. Then, he curiously disappeared. Only to re-appear Monday with The Games new morning show: The Rise Guys, with Whitey Gleason, Mark Kreidler and Dibley, from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. I always liked Dibley with Radnich. It seems he might just have gotten fed up with Radnichs shenanigans and was looking for a bigger opportunity. Kreidler is a former sports writer for the Sacramento Bee. In the Wheelhouse with John Lund takes over the 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. shift and will feature a rotating cast of Insiders all of whom work for Comcast Sports Net, including Giants beat reporter Mychael Urban, who has spent many years working with the KNBR crew. Also scheduled to appear are Matt Maiocco (49ers beat), Matt Steinmetz (Warriors), Brodie Brazil (Sharks) and Greg Papa. Considering all these reporters were regulars on the various KNBR outlets, I have to imagine that relationship is all but over. The Drive, from 2 p.m.-6 p.m., features Bay Area newcomer Brandon Tierney, hooking up with former 49ers great and current team color analyst Eric Davis. I heard a little of the start of their show and all I can say is, hopefully they get a lot more comfortable with each other. Tierney has worked for ESPN Radio in New York and also at WFAN in Detroit. I think I could get to like him, provided he knows about whats happening here in the Bay Area. Davis? Eh, hes going to have to do a lot to impress me. He knows his football especially the 49ers. Im interested to hear what he has to say about other sports. Hes another CSN analyst. Wrapping up the night and handling the As pre- and post-game shows is Chris Townsend, another former KNBR regular from many years ago. Townsend has been the As preand post-game voice for the last couple of years and he knows his stuff. As for KNBR 1050, I dont know what the plans are. It has The Herd with Colin Cowherd in the mornings, followed by Jim Rome. Replacing Bruces show Monday was Dan Patrick, which used to be heard on tape delay on 1050 beginning at 10 p.m. 1050 has at times in the past been the home

more precisely Cumulus Media, the stations owners cut ties with Tony Bruno, who teamed with Radnich at 11 a.m. for what many considered the best half hour in sports talk. Also joining Bruno on the outs was Radnichs producer, Patrick P-Con Connor. As of this writing, Brunos Into the Night with Tony Bruno show is still being broadcast on KNBR 1050 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Bruces star must have really rose in the eyes of management. After more or less being booted off the Sports Phone 680 slot which provided Bruce plenty of opportunities to skewer the team-sponsored San Francisco Giants during post-game shows he moved to KNBRs sister station, 1050, and hosted the well-received Damon Bruce Show from noon to 4 p.m. Now, hes back on the agship station, in one of the best slots of the day. Todays rst broadcast was a bit awkward, as Bruce is a die-hard sports guy. He didnt seem to mesh well with the more erudite Radnich, who likes to branch out into the world of entertainment and minutiae. I have to wonder if this is the beginning of the end for Radnich? I enjoyed his brand of radio. He seemed to understand many of the listeners will listen to sports talk all day, why not be more far ranging? My biggest complaint with Radnich was going to a caller and then talking over him for several minutes. To be fair, many times the caller did not have much to offer anyway. Bruce has made a couple of guest stints on the Jim Rome show, so KNBR management

MOSS
Continued from page 11
The character questions hurt Moss in the 1998 draft. He fell to the Vikings at pick No. 21 and he spent the next seven years making every GM in the league who passed on him regret it. He scored 17 touchdowns to help the Vikings reach the NFC title game, a season so overpowering that the rival Packers used their rst three picks in the following Aprils draft on cornerbacks to try to slow him down. Didnt do much good. Moss scored at least 10 touchdowns in all but one season in his rst tour with the Vikings. The things Ive seen him do, I dont think Ill ever see another player do the things he did, Vikings tight end Jim
Kleinsasser said. Great career. Tough to see him not playing because I think he had a lot left out there that he could have done for somebody. He also got into several controversies along the way, bumping a trafc cop in downtown Minneapolis, squirting a referee with a water bottle during a game and leaving the eld early in a game against Washington, just to name a few. Sensing a change of scenery was needed, the Vikings traded Moss to Oakland in 2005, where he spent two quiet seasons before his career was revived in New England. He reemerged as a force with the Patriots, hauling in a single-season record 23 TD passes from Tom Brady to help the Patriots reach the Super Bowl. Vikings fans were euphoric at the news of his return last season, but things soured in a hurry. He caught 13 passes for 174 yards and two touch-
downs in four games back in purple, clashed with coach Brad Childress in the locker room and brought embarrassment to the organization when he berated a caterer at team headquarters. He hugged former Patriots teammates after a Vikings loss, and then bizarrely stepped to a podium to fawn over the Patriots, criticize the Vikings for ignoring his strategic advice, and announce his plan to interview himself the rest of the season instead of letting reporters do it. An enraged Childress unilaterally decided to cut Moss shortly after, a decision that helped seal his fate with Vikings ownership. Moss nished the season with eight games in Tennessee, but only caught six passes. Segal said earlier this summer that the receiver was training hard and determined to prove to the doubters that he could still dominate the game like he had in the past.

This is certainly a year of change for the program. Besides the opener against Fresno State at Candlestick on Sept. 3, Cal will play home games this season across the bay at the San Francisco Giants home, AT&T Park, while Memorial Stadium is renovated. The team plans to practice some on the campus baseball eld to adjust to the dirt ineld. The annual Big Game will be at the Cardinal on Nov. 19, and already the momentum around it seems to have swung Stanfords way. Tedford believes his Bears are more amped over the fact they were picked to nish fourth in the North
Division in the preseason media poll than by any hype around their rivals; Oregon was selected first and Stanford second. There have been a lot of years where were one, two or up at the top, Tedford said. But Ive heard that were very low, so that can be kind of a motivating factor. The Bay Areas heavy hitters will each have their chance. San Jose State coach Mike MacIntyre loves the attention on the Cardinal, especially since the Spartans open the season at Stanford on Sept. 3. With the focus on Stanford and its star quarterback growing ever since last season ended, his players have had all summer to think about the chance to make their own headlines. I think hearing about them all the time, MacIntyre said, naturally makes you pumped up.

WASHINGTON Federal health regulators asked the countrys leading medical experts two years ago to recommend ways to improve the governments system for approving most medical devices, ranging from pacemakers to X-ray scanners. On Friday the experts came back with a surprise answer: scrap it because it fails to protect patients. Even more surprising, FDA summarily dismissed the idea. The Institute of Medicines panel said in a report that the U.S. government should abandon the 35-year-old system used to clear medical devices because it provides little assurance that the implants are actually safe. The 12-member groups advice, commissioned by the Food and Drug Administration, is not binding. And experts questioned its real-world impact after the FDA immediately distanced itself from the advice it had requested. The FDA has been working for more than a year to improve the so-called 510(k) process, efforts that would go to waste if the system is abandoned. FDA believes that the 510(k) process should not be eliminated but we are open to additional proposals and approaches, said the agencys device director Jeffrey Shuren, in a statement. The FDA said it would convene a public meeting on the report.
A system was put in place 35 years ago that does not really assess safety and effectiveness....We need something different for the next 35 years.Were dealing with a whole new world:new technology,new materials and new data.
David Challoner,former vice president of health affairs at University of Florida
The agency requires that most new prescription drugs go through clinical trials to prove that patients fare better after receiving medication. But through the 510(k) system, medical devices just have to show that they are similar to devices already on the market. Only a handful of truly new devices undergo extensive testing to prove they are safe and effective. The device industrys chief lobbying group also dismissed the proposal, saying its conclusions do not deserve serious consideration from the Congress or the administration, in a statement. The IOM panels chairman took the tough reception in stride at a news conference Friday, saying it would take time to develop a new system to replace the one that has been in place for over three decades. This is a public discussion and its going to take time, said panel chair David Challoner, former vice president of health affairs at University of Florida. The 510(k) process needs to be modified to make it as good as possible in the interim, but there is logic there that is fundamentalcoverage. However, many conservatives are supporting legislation by Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, R-Neb., that would codify a range of exceptions to the new health care law on religious and conscience grounds. Its a step in the right direction, but its not enough, said Jeanne Monahan, a policy expert for the conservative Family Research Council. As it now stands, the conscience clause offers only a g leaf of protection, she added, because it may not cover faithbased groups engaged in social action and other activities that do not involve worship. Although the new womens preventive services will be free of any additional charge to patients, somebody will have to pay. The cost will be spread among other people with health insurance, resulting in slightly higher premiums. That may be offset to some degree with
ly flawed and must to be fixed. The report arrives as the FDA fends off criticism from manufacturers who say the agency has become too slow and bureaucratic in clearing new devices, driving up costs for companies and forcing some out of business. Despite the relative speed of the 510(k) process, they point out that some devices still get tied up in red tape, ultimately reaching the U.S. market two years after launching overseas. Latham & Watkins attorney John Manthei, who represents device manufacturers, said that even if the FDA doesnt adopt the recommendations, they could help lawmakers and FDA critics who favor tougher regulation of devices. For those who feel like the 510(k) process is inadequate, this report denitely gives those folks ammunition, said Manthei. The 510(k) system was originally created by Congress in 1976 to grandfather in devices that had been used for decades but never formally reviewed by the FDA. Instead of being phased out over time, it became the standard tool to launch new implants. savings from diseases prevented, or pregnancies that are planned to minimize any potential ill effects to the mother and baby. The administration did allow insurers some leeway in determining what they will cover. For example, health plans will be able to charge copays for branded drugs in cases where a generic version is just as effective and safe for the patient. The requirement applies to all forms of birth control approved by the Food and Drug Administration. That includes the pill, intrauterine devices, the so-called morningafter pill, and newer forms of long-acting implantable hormonal contraceptives that are becoming widely used in the rest of the industrialized world. Coverage with no copays for the morningafter pill is likely to become the most controversial part of the change. The FDA classies
A system was put in place 35 years ago that does not really assess safety and effectiveness, said Challoner. We need something different for the next 35 years. Were dealing with a whole new world: new technology, new materials and new data. Challoner and the other panelists recommend the FDA develop a new system based on safety metrics and tracking device failure rates in the real world. He said better tracking of device complications could take the place of premarket testing, which would be unfeasible for all new devices. The IOM is a nonpolitical group of experts that advises the federal government on medical issues. The 510(k) system is popular among manufacturers because it is a faster path to market than the review process for rst-of-a-kind devices, which must undergo rigorous medical testing. But as generations of devices have been cleared year after year, FDA critics say dangerous devices have slipped through because they vaguely resemble products approved decades ago. Earlier this month safety advocates seized on new reports of painful complications with pelvic surgical mesh as the latest example of the shortcomings of the abbreviated review system. Reports of pain, bleeding and infection are up 500 percent since 2008 among women whove had surgery to support the pelvic wall. Plan B and Ella as birth control, but some religious conservatives see the morning-after drugs as abortion drugs. The rules HHS issued Monday do not require coverage of RU-486 and other drugs to chemically induce an abortion. Advocates say the majority of women will be covered once the requirement takes effect in 2013, although some insurance plans may opt to offer the benet earlier. Aside from the conscience clause, the only other major exemption is for so-called grandfathered plans, many of which are offered by large employers. With the passage of time, however, many currently grandfathered plans are likely to lose that designation as they make routine changes affecting their benefits. Consumers should check with their health insurance plan administrator.

Preventing unwanted pregnancies is only one goal of the new requirement. Contraception can help make a womans next pregnancy healthier by spacing births far enough apart, generally 18 months to two years. Research links closely spaced births to a risk of such problems as prematurity, low birth weight, even autism. Research has shown that even modest copays for medical care can discourage use. In a nod to social and religious conservatives, the rules issued Monday by Sebelius include a provision that would allow religious institutions to opt out of offering birth control

WASHINGTON Pick up the phone and hear, Hey, whats up? Chances are, those few words are enough to recognize whos speaking perhaps unless you have dyslexia. In a surprise discovery, researchers found adults with that reading disorder also have a hard time recognizing voices. The work isnt just a curiosity. It ts with research to uncover the building blocks of literacy and how they can go wrong. The eventual goal: To spot at-risk youngsters even before they open Go, Dog, Go! in kindergarten instead of diagnosing dyslexia in a struggling second-grader. Everybody is interested in understanding the root cause of dyslexia, so we can intervene early and do something about it, says Massachusetts Institute of Technology cognitive neuroscientist John Gabrieli, senior author of the study published last week in the journal Science. Dyslexia is thought to affect 8 percent to 15 percent of Americans, who can have great difculty reading and writing. Its not a problem with intelligence or vision. Instead, its language-based. The brain struggles with whats called phonological processing being able to distinguish and manipulate sounds, like bah and pah, that eventually have to be linked to written letters and words. A graduate student in Gabrielis lab wondered if dyslexia would impair voice recognition as well. After all, subtle differences in pronunciation help distinguish people. How to test that? Previous studies have shown its easier to recognize voices if theyre
when they heard English speakers, people with dyslexia still were right only half the time while the non-dyslexics did far better, identifying 70 percent of the voices correctly. That provides further evidence of dyslexias strong link to phonological impairment. Perhaps more importantly, its a cleverly designed project that begs the question of whether voice recognition is a problem in young children, too, says Florida State University psychology professor Richard Wagner, who studies how to identify dyslexia early. Gabrieli says he plans to test 5-year-olds. Today, researchers know that children who are more phonologically aware when they enter kindergarten have a better shot at easy reading. One way to check that: See how theyre able to delete sounds from words ask them to quickly say cowboy without the boy. Wagner says a child who answers such tasks correctly probably is developing ne. One who fails doesnt necessarily have problems but merely could have misunderstood or not wanted to play along. He says more clearcut methods are needed. Differences in brain-processing show up even in infants, says Patricia Kuhl of the University of Washington, who studies how babies learn language. A colleague in her lab tested how well Researchers know that children who are more phonologically aware when they enter babies could distinguish ah and ee sounds kindergarten have a better shot at easy reading. between ages 7 months and 11 months of age.

tion disbanded the agencies altogether and set up new governance for communities that wish to continue redevelopment activities. During a special meeting Monday night, the Millbrae City Council unanimously decided to continue its work by making expensive payments. Councilwoman Nadia Holober made the recommendation to concede to the state and adopt the voluntary program which does make a hefty program to the state but does allow the redevelopment agency to exist. Making payments from the Redevelopment Agency account allows the city to continue working on affordable housing projects and turning the area around its train station into a destination with a mix of ofce space, restaurants and entertainment. Cities with redevelopment agencies are given two options. Under Assembly Bill X1 26, a citys redevelopment agency would cease to exist Oct. 1. The city can continue to make scheduled payments and honor obligations, but that most likely wont include the massive contracts pushed through city councils this spring. In
addition, after the dissolution, the agencys assets would be reviewed and possibly sold. Proceeds from any sale would go to the county which would send it to schools and other agencies, Millbrae Community Development Director Farhad Mortazavi wrote in a staff report. Under Assembly Bill X1 27, the redevelopment agency would agree to make large payments to the county and schools but can use the remaining funds to continue working, Mortazavi wrote. Millbrae is estimating being required to make a $1.85 million payment in this scal year and a $435,849 payment in the next. After such payments, the agency would have about $1.3 million remaining, Mortazavi wrote. City Manager the state are also facing deep decits in the down economy. San Mateo Countys structural decit is now at $100 million. While the county should only absorb non-violent, non-serious and non-sex related criminals, the law does not take into account their prior history of offenses, Manheimer wrote. This group of non-serious offenders, however, were convicted of felonies and state parole ofcers have a more stringent requirement for tracking and drug testing and stay-away orders once they were released from prison, Manheimer said. There are currently more than 161,000 inmates incarcerated in state prisons and another 105,000 felons on parole in the state. The legislation Brown signed creates a local Community Corrections Panel in each county comprised of sheriff and probation officials, prosecutors, local police chiefs and the board of supervisors. The panel will be chaired by Stu Forrest, San Mateo Countys chief of probation and will meet for the rst time this Wednesday to form an implementation plan. In October, the countys probation ofce will absorb 30 more offenders and The hospitals privacy ofcer and risk manager, both whove been with the organization 10 to 20 years, do not recall any previous violations, OClair said. As far as anyone knows, this is a rst, she said. Hospital staff say they also hope it is the only one. Mills-Peninsula Health Services holds the condentiality and trust of our patients in the highest regard, said privacy ofcer Jane Schulze in a prepared statement. We apologize for this unforWe are also looking out for any other major events that will take place on weekends in that time frame, Haus said. In 1999, a 30-foot wishbone-shaped steel beam was added to the bridge as part of a partial retrot but a crack was discovered in the beam last year, Haus said. Caltrans has patched up the crack but a permanent solution is needed, he said. When it is time to do the work, Caltrans will need to oat the new 35foot sections on a barge to the bridge while heavy cranes lift the current sec-

The ability for state parole agents to closely monitor these individuals often kept them from committing new crimes as they would revoke their parole for failure to uphold the conditions of parole, Manheimer wrote in a statement. The county is expected to see an extra 400 prisoners a year for the next three years diverted back to the countys criminal justice system. Now that local probation will now handle this more serious classication of prisoners it is unclear as to their ability and capacity to rehabilitate and control this population upon their return from prison, often without jobs, homes or any re-entry plans, Manheimer wrote in the statement. The state will fund the realignment for ve years but Manheimer said it will not be enough to cover the countys expenses. The state made the move to help close a $19 billion decit but counties across
another 48 in November, Forrest told the Daily Journal yesterday. More than half of the offenders the county expects to absorb from the state are considered substance abusers, Forrest said. An initial assessment of each offender will allow the probation department to determine what the needs are, including transportation, housing and substance abuse treatment, he said. But some will also be criminals with a violent past or sophisticated offenders with a penchant for identity theft, Forrest said. He expects for his approximately 110 probation ofcers to be tested early by the released felons. This is brand-new ground for us and the courts, Forrest said. We are creating this from scratch and it will be tested from the very beginning. The county is in the process of planning a new jail facility in Redwood City but, if approved, it will not be completed for years. The current jail is at 140 percent of capacity, according to the Sheriffs Ofce.

In the next year, your natural-born luck might play a more important role in your life than usual. Anytime you find yourself in trouble, big or small, the cavalry will hear your bugle call and come running to save the day. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- There is a good chance that, because of past experiences, you might be more informed than others about the ramifications of an endeavor and, consequently, be able to see advantages that escape everyone else. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Listen to all advice being offered, but give more credence to your own
interpretations about financial dealings than anyone elses. That way, you wont concede anything vital. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Positive thinking is the element that can tip the scales in your favor. If you honestly believe you can do something difficult and do it well, youll make it happen. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- If youre contemplating taking on a complicated, ambitious undertaking, keep it to yourself. Dont discuss your ideas or plans until you have proven that theyll work. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Loyal, long-term relationships are much too valuable to be ignored, overlooked or put off. If youre planning any special social arrangements, make sure old friends are included. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The fulfillment of
your personal goals might be vital to you, but try to make room to include others in your social plans. Dont allow self-serving interests to completely bar the door. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- What you are trying to teach youngsters is extremely important, especially if youre hoping to explain the importance of looking for the good in people instead of seeing only their faults. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If you keep your focus on the type of end results you desire, it will help you avoid obstacles and stay on course, should things start to heat up in any accompanying areas. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- That cooperation you so badly need from an associate can be acquired if youre brave enough to give the person all of the
facts, both good and bad. Thats when he or she will believe in you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you concentrate your efforts in an area where material rewards are truly possible and youre prepared to work hard, you stand a good chance of achieving your goals. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Because your natural leadership abilities are likely to be far more evident than those of your peers, dont be surprised if you find yourself being thrust into a role of power. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Something in which you find yourself involved has better than average chances of achieving success. However, be realistic and know its limitations to avoid disappointment.
