WASHINGTON In a sharp challenge to the GOP, President Barack Obama proposed paying for his costly new jobs plan Monday with tax hikes that Republicans have already emphatically rejected. The reception to his new proposal was no more welcoming, setting the stage for a likely new ght with Congress. Flanked at the White House by workers he said the legislation would help, Obama declared, This is the bill that Congress needs to pass. No games. No politics. No delays. He sent it to Capitol Hill

We remain eager to work together on ways to support job growth, but this proposal doesnt appear to have been offered in that bipartisan spirit, Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck said.

Planned Parenthood Mar Monte opened a new health center in San Mateo yesterday and has dropped its bid to open a similar center in Redwood City, an ofcial with the organization said. The organization opened its doors yesterday at its new facility on Baywood Avenue and El Camino Real in San Mateo. The center will provide preventive services such as breast- and cervical-cancer screenings, family planning, prenatal care and primary care for adults and children.
After many months of working with Redwood City ofcials, the organization will not be pursuing a permit to open a health center at 2890 El Camino Real. We maintain our strong commitment to meeting the unmet health care and educational needs there and are actively searching for another site nearby in a hospitable jurisdiction, spokeswoman Lupe Rodriguez wrote in a prepared statement.

Tonight, Belmont youth soccer advocates will come before the City Council to see if they can use Notre Dame de Namurs Koret Field during already approved eld-use hours.The council will weigh an appeal from neighbors who complain the kids are too loud.
Youth soccer groups use of Koret appealed by neighbors Handful of homes in San Mateo
Notre Dame de Namur University is trying once again to open up its pristine athletic eld to youth soccer groups in Belmont but must rst fend off a group of neighbors who oppose the idea. The university got Planning Commission approval in July to allow two youth soccer groups to use the Koret Field during already approved eld-use hours but Chula Vista Drive residents Gordon and Evelyn Seely have appealed that decision based on potential noise and trafc impacts. The issue has divided the city between those who say children in Belmont do not have enough elds to play on and those who say they prefer a quieter existence, minus screaming children, bullhorns and in San Mateo a move that could impact districts nancially.

THAT SCRAMBLED WORD GAME
by David L. Hoyt and Jeff Knurek
In 1759, during the nal French and Indian War, the British defeated the French on the Plains of Abraham overlooking Quebec City. In 1788, the Congress of the Confederation authorized the rst national election, and declared New York City the temporary national capital. In 1803, Commodore John Barry, considered by many the father of the American Navy, died in Philadelphia. In 1911, the song Oh, You Beautiful Doll, a romantic rag by Nat D. Ayer and Seymour Brown, was rst published by Jerome H. Remick & Co. In 1948, Republican Margaret Chase Smith of Maine was elected to the U.S. Senate; she became the rst woman to serve in both houses of Congress. In 1959, Elvis Presley rst met his future wife, 14-year-old Priscilla Beaulieu, while stationed in West Germany with the U.S. Army. (They married in 1967, but divorced in 1973.) In 1970, the rst New York City Marathon was held; winner Gary Muhrcke nished the 26.2-mile run, which took place entirely inside Central Park, in 2:31:38. In 1989, Fay Vincent was elected commissioner of Major League Baseball, succeeding the late A. Bartlett Giamatti. In 1993, at the White House, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and PLO chairman Yasser Arafat shook hands after signing an accord granting limited Palestinian autonomy. In 1996, rapper Tupac Shakur died at a Las Vegas hospital six days after he was wounded in a drive-by shooting; he was 25. Ten years ago: Two days after the 9/11 terror attacks, the rst few jetliners returned to the nations skies, but several major airports remained closed and others opened only briey.

the protagonists, David Martin as the mildmannered Stine, a novelist who, in real time, is adapting his book into a screenplay for a movie and David Sattler as Stone, his ctional alter ego, hero. Their inseparable relationship is reinforced for the audience by the song, Youre Nothing Without Me. Stine also lls the scenario with characters inspired by people from his own life. In this rst experience with Hollywood amorality, Stine is repeatedly frustrated by its chronic disease of rewrite demands by autocratic lm executives, in this case the lecherous, overweight Buddy Fidler (Michael Carey). But the meat of the musical is in the lm script, where Stones faithful Girl Friday Oolie (Corrie Lenn Borris), ushers in a highly attractive Alaura Kingsley (Patti Appel), determined to hire him to solve the mystery of the disappearance of her young stepdaughter, Mallory Kingsley (Gina DiRado). Although he chooses to pass at the time, it all goes downhill from there, from where he rst suffers a severe beating by two hoods to where he is framed for a murder and is arrested by a professional enemy, Lt. Manny Munoz (Tyler Bennett). Meanwhile, in real life, Stine needs to rush off to New York to reconcile with his wife Gabby (Victoria Morgan), who has left him, disapproving of his conduct, both professionally and personally. When he returns for the rst day of lming, he nds Buddy had revised the script to his liking, claimed co-authorship and cast an inadequate Stone in the popular crooner Jimmy Powers (David Navarro). The angry and complaining Stine is about to be decked by security when, in a reversal, the ctional Stone rushes to a typewriter and writes a scene in which Stine mans up for himself, defeats the usurpers, regains his self-respect and all ends happily ever after. But its what happens between those bookend scenes that make this musical so charming and engaging. Weaving through the action is the Angel City 4, (Zach Yahoo Yaholovsky, Juliet Green,

It may seem strange to review the technical aspects of a production rst, but its daunting to undertake a production in which there are parallel stories going on at the same time, one in a full palette of colors, in real time; the other a mockup of a movie lm in only black, gray and white. Both require multiple sets, instantly set up, and rapid-re costume changes, all propelling the plot forward, making it such a challenge, it is rarely performed by community theaters. But that doesnt stop Hillbarn Theatre and its executive producing director, Lee Foster. The musical City of Angels is a satire on Hollywoods lm noir period of the 1940s and 1950s, crime movies which featured cynical gumshoe private investigators and full of femme fatales with sexual motivations, lmed in low key, sharply drawn, black and white. So how does one fit all that onto the Hillbarns limited stage area? That was clearly solved by set and lighting designer Don Colluzi, who created multiple moveable sets serving both plots and a maze of lighting for both color schemes and spot lighting for featured performers. Add to that a director, Brad Friedman, the highly regarded drama director at San Mateo High School, who clearly understands and relishes the genre and a wisely chosen cast, with the right sense of campy humor for their roles, doubling in both plots and Hillbarn has rung up another winner. City of Angels (a translation of the name Los Angeles) was justiably the winner of six Tony Awards, including Best Musical after it opened in 1989 on Broadway. Although the most plaudits have been for the composer Cy Coleman, I go for the book by the legendary comedy writer, Larry Gelbart, creator of what is considered the greatest sitcom of all time, M*A*S*H*. He weaves a complicated plot with witty humor and razor sharp double entendre bon mots. The two of the three roles not duplicated are

SACRAMENTO Lawmakers failed to renew a statewide electricity surcharge before the end of their session, dealing a blow to Gov. Jerry Browns plan to promote alternative energy and keep California at the forefront of the industry. Brown sought to extend a public goods charge that adds $1 to $2 to the average monthly household electric bill and has been in effect since 1997. He wanted to use about $400 million in annual proceeds to fund renewable energy and efciency programs. The public goods charge debate is not done; just call it a major bump in the
road, Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said Monday. The California Energy Commission says California receives more electricity from renewable resources than any other state.

By Alam Fram bite out of Social Security revenues in 2012. Obama would replenish the lost FICA (Federal Insurance Contribution Act) taxes with money from the overall federal budget keeping Social Security whole but forcing the government to borrow more and further swelling the federal debt. The problem with Obamas proposal, critics say, is that propping up Social Security with general funds from the Treasury erodes its revered status as a self-funded insurance program in which payroll taxes collected from workers pay benets for retirees, the disabled and their survivors. The proposal would put Social Security into competition for scarce federal dollars with other programs, leaving it more exposed to budget-cutters. As long as we could say its selffunded, we have the high ground in defending the program from efforts to trim benefits, said Max Richtman, president of the nonprofit National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare. This will make it much harder to make this case. Last year, Social Securitys expenditures were $49 billion more than it collected in taxes, the rst time it ran a decit since 1983. Back then, the decit prompted a bipartisan commission headed by Alan Greenspan to curb benets, increase FICA taxes and gradually raise the retirement age to push the system back into the black and create a huge reserve for covering benets of baby boomers who are starting to retire now. The 2008 recession, with a net loss of 6.8 million jobs, and some workers decisions to retire early amid the economys stubborn softness have reduced the systems revenues. With Social Security already paying out more than it takes in, Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., a leader of House liberals, said he worries that nancing part of the program from the overall federal budget leaves it relying on the most tenuous of any source of revenue, especially in these times.

Coffee drinker pleads no contest to making threats
A frequent customer of a San Carlos Carls Jr. will need to nd a new place to grab a cup of joe after pleading no contest to making misdemeanor criminal threats, according to the District Attorneys Ofce. Douglas Walter Malone, 46, visited the fast-food establishment on El Camino Real regularly to ll up his coffee cup while hassling the employees. At approximately 6 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 16, an employee reportedly asked another customer to speak with Malone in response to his comments. The other customer allegedly took Malones cup and dumped out the contents, leading the defendant to scream he would fetch a gun and kill everybody inside. On Monday, Malone pleaded no contest to making the threats, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. He will have to get his coffee somewhere else, he said. Malone faces 42 days in county jail but should be out shortly for time served and good behavior. Malone is also required to stay at least 100 feet from the Carls Jr. location.
TAMPA, Fla. Under attack from rival Mitt Romney, Texas Gov. Rick Perry softened his rhetoric if not his position on Social Security in a campaign d e b a t e M o n d a y night, declinMitt Romney ing to repeat earlier statements questioning the p r o g r a m s constitutionality and likening it to a P o n z i scheme. A program thats been Rick Perry there 70 or 80 years, obviously were not going to take that away, Perry said as his cross-stage rival pressed him repeatedly to answer Romneys pointed questions. The Texas governor counter-attacked quickly, accusing Romney of trying to scare seniors with his own comments on a program that tens of millions of Americans including millions in Florida alone rely on for part or even all of their retirement income. The debate unfolded in the Florida city where Republicans will gather next summer to bestow the party nomination on a challenger to President Barack Obama. It was the second time in less than a week that Perry, the frontrunner in opinion polls, and Romney, his closest pursuer, shared a stage with Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, Texas Rep. Ron Paul, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia; former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, former Gov. Jon Huntsman of Utah and businessman Herman Cain.
WASHINGTON Some Social Security advocates fear that President Barack Obamas desire to cut taxes supporting the program will undermine its vaunted stature as a self-nancing pension system that provides checks to retirees based on contributions they made while working. For now, though, the administration insists and many experts agree that the proposal would have no impact on the programs nancial soundness or ability to pay benets averaging $1,077 a month to 55 million recipients.. Cutting Social Security taxes is the keystone of Obamas $447 billion plan to create jobs and leave more cash in peoples pockets, an effort by the president to bolster the ailing economy and his own 2012 re-election prospects. The payroll tax cut an enlargement of one already in effect this year would take a $240 billion
WASHINGTON The economy needs to be fixed. On this, Democrats and Republicans agree. They part ways over how to do it and, specically, what role the federal government should play. Ultimately, President Barack Obama tells Congress, our recovery will be driven not by Washington, but by our businesses and our workers. But we can help. His argument that government has a responsibility to do so probably
doesnt sit well with an America thats down on Washington. Texas Gov. Rick Perry, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and other Republicans competing for his job take a different tack as they court a tea party-infused GOP electorate: The economy will thrive, they say, if Washington simply gets out of the way. As Perry puts it: Smaller government, less spending, fewer regulations. At the heart of the 2012 presidential race is an issue as old as the country itself. Is it the federal governments responsibility to address what ails the nation, in this case the
economy? And if so, to what degree? What is the right balance? History tells us that, try as we might, we may never answer those questions; weve been debating them ever since the Jeffersonians and the Federalists squabbled over states rights vs. a strong central government. In the end, the Constitution assigned certain powers to the federal government while reserving others to states. But the tension in America between the purely local and a faroff central government has never gone away. Nor, perhaps, should it in an ever-evolving democracy.
NEW YORK Fighter jets were scrambled to escort two commercial flights into New York City and Detroit out of an abundance of caution after crews reported suspicious activity on the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorObituary
ist attacks, officials said. The bathroom use by some passengers aroused the suspicion Sunday, but all were released after being questioned by authorities on the ground. On an American Airlines ight from Los Angeles, three passengers who made repeated trips to the bath-

BAGHDAD Gunmen forced their way onto a bus of traveling Shiite pilgrims Monday and shot all 22 men onboard as they traveled through western Iraqs remote desert on a trip to a holy shrine, security ofcials said. The bodies were discovered late Monday night, hours after the gang of gunmen stopped the bus at a fake security checkpoint and told all the women and children to get off, according to one security official
who interviewed a survivor. The gunmen then drove the bus a few miles (kilometers) off the main highway between Baghdad and the Jordanian border in Iraqs Sunni-dominated Anbar province. The pilgrims were ordered off the bus and shot one by one, the security ofcials said. The terrorists stopped the bus at gunpoint and killed 22 men, said Maj. Gen. AbdulHadi Rizayig, the provincial police chief. He said the highway is protected by the Iraqi army. Shiite pilgrims have been a favorite target
for Sunni insurgents who are trying to revive the sectarian violence that brought Iraqi to the brink of civil war just a few years ago. Mondays attack comes fewer than four months before U.S. troops who surged into Iraq in 2007 to stem the religious killings are scheduled to leave the country. In Anbar in particular, many insurgents have launched attacks while posing as soldiers or other security guards. And on Monday, one of the women who was forced off the bus told ofcials that there were four gunmen who were dressed in military uni-
forms and stopped the bus at a fake checkpoint. An Iraqi army patrol found the deserted women, weeping and wailing, by the side of the highway. Iraqi soldiers found the deserted bus a short distance away and loaded the women and children back on, and headed back to Karbala. None could be reached immediately late Monday. Two Iraqi security ofcials and a political leader from the southern Iraqi city of Karbala, where the pilgrims were from, conrmed the shooting details.

OPINION
Quest Research, provides clues to the physical and social circumstances that maximize longevity: walkable communities. Walkability is our rst and best candidate for achieving constant moderate physical activity. Dan Ionescu With walking, we not only improve our own health, but we also create more opportunities for social engagement, ultimately building healthier communities. What creates walkability? A recent study by Reid Ewing and Robert Cervero (Travel and the Built Environment: A MetaRalf Korbmacher Analysis) links walkability with the density of street intersections. But unless there are abundant opportunities to engage with the environment other people, lively street corners, shop windows, landmarks, open spaces and other meaningful uses people just wont walk around. So population density and diversity (mixed-use) foster walkability, which therefore facilitates community building. Jane Jacobs, famed author of The Death and Life of Great American Cities, and many others would agree. While promoting urban density, we must simultaneously ask: how dense is good? The population density of the 10 most productive cities (measured by GDP/capita) ranges from 1 to 4 times that of San Mateo (Wikipedia/www.citymayors.com). Eight of these are U.S. cities so, even by U.S. standards, San Mateo is somewhat rareed. The density of the top 10 cities in quality of life (Mercer) except for Auckland, New Zealand ranges from almost two to ve times that of San Mateo, and there isnt a single U.S. city on the list. There is certainly something to be said for density. So what is sustainable moving forward? First, bigger cities provide more productivity at the cost of quality of life. The best option seems to be clusters of smaller interconnected towns. Density and diversity (mixed-use) seem to be required at every scale: the block, neighborhood, town and region. Second, the United States large cities fare better than the mid- to small-sized ones in quality of life though they all fare worse than European cities in general. Silicon Valley in particular is, perhaps, one of the worlds most unappealing international addresses. So
e ended our previous guest perspective in the July 6 edition of the Daily Journal with the question: What is most likely sustainable into the future: the city as we know it, the city-ascampsite or some other form of occupation of our planet we cannot yet envision? To begin to answer that question, lets rst look at the past. Examining the history of towns and cities, we nd different driving forces of growth. However, common among all these early cities was the central temple. While maintaining their religious purpose, these temples also stimulated or drove political organization and commercial growth. As these proto-urban centers became more prominent centers of religion, politics and commerce, the need for security played an increasing role in the physical conguration of the townscape, and these cities evolved into fortied enclaves within rural or wild landscapes. The added security, in turn, allowed for a greater development of political and commercial power, which brought with it yet more novel physical features: the temples of empire and commerce. In fact, the coexistence of these three functions became the hallmark of a town or city of importance. But at the root of the prominence of these places was the identity of a civilization. Fast forward to San Mateo and many other Peninsula towns in the 21st century: We could argue that it is not a matter of size, but of incompleteness that makes them suburbs, or towns that have yet to acquire an identity. Their centers of gravity are outside their boundaries. Why? For one, the functional fragmentation found in the atlands of San Mateo is an unfortunate oversimplication of the benets of clustering. Unfortunate because fragmentation is one of the key hindrances to a sense of place, making San Mateo and other Peninsula towns mere satellites of San Francisco. There are other prerequisites for an identity, a sense of place. What are they? If we assume that the purpose of a town or city is to provide opportunities for the fulllment of human potential, as suggested in our previous piece, we might begin by examining three measures of this purpose: life expectancy, productivity and overall quality of life. In terms of life expectancy, those who live in blue zones areas where inhabitants live past the age of 100 have two common traits: constant moderate physical activity and frequent social engagement. This research, by

we have failed, so far, to align productivity with quality of life. Third, it seems that the complexity of layering adds to the overall appeal of cities, as we can infer from the rankings in the quality of life index, and as Jane Jacobs maintained in the aforementioned book. Whats wrong with U.S. cities? Among other factors, most U.S. cities were built on rationalized grids that all but ignore topography, and were either originally designed for or later adapted to the automobile, at the cost of the pedestrian and walkability in general. This made the development of suburbs like San Mateo and other Peninsula towns possible at the expense of what creates a sense of place: density and diversity. Both in terms of environmental practicality and quality of life, European cities do offer substantial advantages over the automobilecentric town. But the question remains: is what they offer the best solution for tomorrows cities, and for San Mateo in particular? U.S. towns and cities are slowly working their way up the rankings as quality of life surveys are increasingly productivity-oriented, including performance indicators such as ease of doing business, innovation and economic potential. So, is a sense of place giving way to a sense of purpose? Or does form just lag function? Perhaps with the end of credit as we know it environmental and nancial credit Silicon Valleys productive class could take on a patronizing (literally) role and envision the productive and beautiful city of the future. Or should we just accept that most productive people dont work in nice places, and viceversa? What kind of city would provide high productivity combined with high quality of life? In our next piece we will discuss some factors that are keeping San Mateo from acquiring a powerful identity, and from becoming a great place within a very productive region. As for longevity ... start walking.

he county of San Mateos fiscal health has not been immune to the effects of the global economic downturn. Three years of declining or negative growth in our key revenue streams have left us with essentially three options to balance our budget: cutting expenses, reducing or eliminating services or increasing taxes and fees.

The S&P 500 index rose 8.04, or 0.7 percent, to 1,162.27. It had dropped as many as 18 points. Technology stocks fared better than the overall market following news of a semiconductor deal. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index rose 27.10 points, or 1.1 percent, to 2,495.09. J.J. Kirnahan, chief options strategist at T.D. Ameritrade, said reports that China planned to buy a significant amount of Italian bonds contributed to the sudden reversal. The last 16 minutes was insane, he said. Kirnahan said investors should not take the days gains as a sign of a longer-lasting trend. If tomorrow we get any indications that China really isnt going to get involved, then we should expect a quick sell-off. Worries over Europes debt crisis drove traders into Treasurys, pushing the yield on the 10-year Treasury note to 1.87 percent, the lowest since the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis began keeping daily records in 1962. During the nancial crisis in late 2008, the 10-year yield hit a low of 2.05 percent.

NEW YORK A late-afternoon rally pushed the stock market higher for only the second day this month. Major indexes spent most of Monday lower as investors worried that Greece could be edging closer to default. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note reached another record low as investors piled into U.S. government debt on fears that Europes debt crisis could spread. The euro fell to a sevenmonth low against the dollar. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 68.99 points, or 0.6 percent, to close at 11,061.12. All of the gains came in the last 10 minutes of trading. The Dow had been down as many as 167 points shortly after 2 p.m. Traders said a combination of technical factors and reports that China was buying Italian government bonds triggered the late spurt of buying. Over the last several days, stocks have been pushed down so hard it was as if somebody was trying to push a balloon underwater, said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at Standard & Poors Equity Research. Its bound to pop up even if only for a short period of time.
NEW YORK Bank of America is slashing 30,000 jobs as part of an effort to reverse a crisis of condence among investors. Its the largest single job reduction by a U.S. company this year. What CEO Brian Moynihan is trying to do is nothing less than save the nations largest bank. Investors have cut the banks market value by half this year. The bank is facing huge liabilities over soured mortgage investments and concerns over whether it has enough capital to withstand more nancial shocks. The cuts, which affect Bank of Americas consumer businesses, represent 10 percent of the Charlotte, N.C. banks work force. The bank said it hopes the cuts and other measures will result in $5 billion in annual savings by 2014. The bank has already cut 6,000
jobs this year. The bank also said it would look for cost savings at its other businesses in a six-month review that will begin next month. Its as if someone has hit the panic button, said Bert Ely, president of banking consultant Ely & Co. Moynihan has been taking other steps to shore up the banks standing. Last week he shook up the banks top management ranks and has been selling parts of the company to raise cash. Last month Warren Buffetts Berkshire Hathaway Inc. invested $5 billion in the company. Moynihan has struggled to calm investors ever since he took the top job in January 2010. He is reversing the empire-building strategy of his predecessor, Ken Lewis, who stepped down amid controversy over the purchase of Merrill Lynch during the nancial crisis. Lewis also engineered the ill-fated acquisition of Countrywide Financial Corp., then the countrys largest mort-
gage lender, which has led to heavy nancial losses, lawsuits and regulatory probes. Moynihan is now taking a knife to the company, hoping to shrink it down to a more manageable size even if it means losing the bragging rights of being the nations largest bank. We dont have to be the biggest company out there, said Moynihan. Bank of Americas stock has lost 48 percent this year, largely because of problems related to poorly-written mortgages at Countrywide. Just in the rst half of the year the bank paid out $12.7 billion to settle claims from investors that it sold them securities backed by faulty mortgages. Some investors and analysts worry that the job cuts will lead to poor customer service and the bank will lose market share to rivals at a time when there are signs that the economy is slowing down.
WASHINGTON Confronted with an economy that has decidedly underperformed this year, economists are scaling back their growth forecasts for 2011 and next year. In their latest forecast, top economists with the National Association for Business Economics predict that the
economy will grow 1.7 percent this year down from the groups May prediction of 2.8 percent expansion. For 2012, the group is forecasting growth of 2.3 percent, compared to a May forecast of 3.2 percent growth. The new survey, released Monday, is in line with the outlook of other economists who have marked down growth prospects to reect an economy that has struggled this year to deal with a spike in
gasoline prices, production disruptions stemming from Japans earthquake, a are-up of Europes debt problems and a prolonged debate over Americas debt ceiling. A wide variety of factors were seen as restraining growth, including low consumer and business condence, said Gene Huang, the president-elect of NABE and one of 52 professional forecasters who participated in the survey.

Study warns U.S. must develop cyber intelligence
WASHINGTON A new study warns that the U.S. must develop cyber intelligence as a new and better coordinated government discipline that can predict computer-related threats and deter them. The report by the Intelligence and National Security Alliance says the dramatic expansion of sophisticated cyberattacks has moved beyond acceptable losses for government and businesses that simply threaten nances or intellectual property.
OMAHA, Neb. Berkshire Hathaway has hired a second hedge fund manager to help run the companys investment portfolio and prepare for what it described as the eventual retirement of 81-year-old billionaire Warren Buffett. Berkshire said Monday that Ted Weschler will join the Omaha-based
company early next year. The 50-yearold has announced to the partners of his hedge fund, Peninsula Capital Advisors, that he will begin winding up the fund so he can join Berkshire. The announcement helps clarify the investment part of Berkshires succession plan, but because the company plans to split Buffetts job into separate CEO, chairman and investment manager jobs, its still not clear who will lead Berkshire after Buffett is gone.

Its a football coachs worst nightmare: the starting quarterback writhing on the ground in pain, grasping his knee. Or ankle. Or leg. Or hand. No football coach wants to see any of his players get hurt. But considering the importance of the quarterback position, losing the teams eld general is never a good development. And given the changing nature of the position at the high school and college levels, with the proliferation of spread offenses that allow quarterbacks more opportunity to run the ball, it opens up quarterbacks to more chance of injury.
Sequoia is the latest program to nd that out the hard way as starting quarterback James Beekley, a senior and three-year varsity starter, may have been lost for the season when he injured his knee in the Cherokees season opener Sept. 2. Beekley told Daily Journal sports reporter Julio Lara Friday night he was having surgery on his knee. Sequoia coach Rob Poulos is not counting Beekley out for the season just yet, but acknowledged he will miss this weeks game at home against Pinole Valley. Mike Taylor will replace Beekley for the foreseeable future. Terra Nova experienced a similar situation last year when Chris Forbes hurt his knee near the end of the Tigers Central Coast Section semi-
nal win over Jefferson, keeping him out of the CCS championship game. The more your quarterback runs, the more reps (repetitions) you have to give to your backup, said Aragon coach Steve Sell, whose teams have depended heavily on the wing-T offense which means the quarterback has to run the ball quite a bit. If you expose your quarterback (to more chances of injury), youd better have a (backup) plan. In the game of football, however, any player is susceptible to a season-ending injury on every play. Whats the difference between the starting running back getting hurt or quarterback who

Having dropped a set against defending champion Rafael Nadal, Djokovics grip on the U.S. Open nal appeared to be starting to slip away and, worse, his body was breaking down. His condence? That, more than any particular stroke, Rafael Nadal is what Djokovic credits with transforming him from a top player to a great one and it never wavered one bit Monday night. Producing a nearly perfect performance to match his nearly perfect season, the No. 1-ranked Djokovic returned brilliantly, whipped winners from all angles and beat No. 2 Nadal 6-2, 6-4, 6-7 (3), 6-1 in a match chockfull of lengthy, mesmerizing points to earn the rst U.S. Open championship of his career and third Grand Slam trophy of 2011. In big matches, the winner is decided by small margins, a couple points. I guess the winner is the one who believes in victory more, said Djokovic, who is 64-2 with 10 tournament titles.

here was a lot of oohing and ahhing during the Aragon-San Mateo football game Friday night. Some of the reaction was to the play on the eld, but as the game wore on, fans became more impressed with the light show Mother Nature provided. As Im sure everyone is aware, the Bay Area experienced a rare occurrence a lightning storm passed through the region, wreaking havoc on high school football around the Bay Area Friday night. At least eight games in the East Bay were suspended or canceled Friday night, and a handful of Central Coast Section games were impacted as well. The BurlingameWoodside game endured a 40-minute delay, while the San Ramon Valley-Mitty game at Foothill College was suspended Friday night and resumed Monday night with Mitty leading 14-13 with 2:40 left in the rst quarter. Aragons opponent this Friday night, Lincoln of San Jose, had its game against Santa Teresa suspended until Monday. The rst ashes of lightning occurred well away from San Mateo Friday night, but reporters and photographers on the sideline kept a close eye on it, as did the referees and coaches. At one point, as San Mateo returner Andrew Ho elded a punt at mideld, the sky lit up. Then, as the nal second ticked off the clock, a bolt of

Its sure working, particularly against the man he replaced atop the rankings, Nadal. A year ago, it was Nadal who won three major titles, including by beating Djokovic in the nal at Flushing Meadows. That defeat helped Djokovic realize he was being too passive at key moments on his sports most important stages and set him on a path thats led to one of the greatest seasons in the history of mens tennis or any sport, for that matter. Ive had an amazing year, Djokovic said, and it keeps going. Nadal led their head-to-head series 16-7 at the end of 2010. And since? Djokovic is 6-0 against Nadal this year, all in tournament nals three on hard courts, including Monday; two on clay; and one on grass at Wimbledon. Djokovic also won the Australian Open in January, and is only the sixth man in the 40-plus years of the Open era to win three major titles in a single season. Obviously Im disappointed, Nadal said, but you know what this guy is doing is unbelievable.

SANTA CLARA Before David Akers could sneak away to his car unnoticed and under the radar as he prefers it, Jack Harbaugh stopped the kicker for a quick greeting and congratulations. Years after Harbaugh recruited the dependable Akers to Western Kentucky only to see him choose Louisville instead, Akers booted four eld goals and converted three extra points to help Harbaughs son, Jim, win his NFL coaching debut with the San Francisco 49ers in a 33-17 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. For everybody who gured Jim Harbaugh faced a steep learning curve in his high-prole move down the freeway from Stanford to the NFL, his 49ers got it done against the defending NFC West champions. Akers wanted Ted Ginn Jr. to take the glory in this one after his two late kick returns for touchdowns in a 59-second span sealed it. It was fun, Jim Harbaugh said Monday. You realize you cant get to win No. 2 without getting win No. 1.
Leading 19-17 after the Seahawks got back in it on a touchdown by a f o r m e r H a r b a u g h Stanford star, Doug Baldwin, David Akers Ginn took any Seattle momentum away for good. He returned a kickoff 102 yards for a touchdown and followed that up by scoring on a 55-yard punt return the rst time in franchise history the 49ers got one of each. Next up in Week 2: a frustrated and determined Dallas team that blew a 14-point fourth-quarter lead in a 27-24 loss to the Jets on Sunday night. Quarterback Tony Romo got home a little after 5 a.m. and was back to work by 10 to start studying up on the 49ers. The Harbaughs kept their celebrating mellow with a casual dinner in so they could watch the last of the Cowboys-Jets opener. The modest, soft-spoken Akers headed out after just another solid days work. Nailing his kicks through the uprights is what he does and always has done now with
the Niners as the replacement to the retired Joe Nedney. Just to win for Coach Harbaugh for the rst and to know the family so well over the years, to be part of it is really something special, Akers said. This is a franchise with great history and, obviously, the last some years have been a little on the down side. We are trying our best to change that. It takes time, but today was a good start. Make that eight years. Eight years out of the playoffs and eight years without a winning record. The 36-year-old Akers joined the rebuilding 49ers in July after 12 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, where John Harbaugh Jims big brother served as his special teams coach for eight years. They always say special teams are one-third of the game, Jack Harbaugh said. It might have been just a little bit more than one-third of the game it took a lot of pressure off the football team that special teams responded that well. David, he was with John in Philadelphia. Now hes here, and he kicked those eld goals today. Akers was named to the past two Pro Bowls and last season set a career high with 23 touchbacks. But
the Eagles drafted kicker Alex Henery in the fourth round, making Akers expendable. He wound up in a good spot out West working with another Harbaugh. The only Harbaugh I didnt end up playing for. I almost did, Akers said with a smile while addressing Jack. Were old-timers, old-time friends. I just couldnt recruit, Jack replied, chuckling. Just keep kickin em. While the elder Harbaugh has long been a sounding board for his sons, he had only one message planned for his son after Sundays win: The only real thing Ill say is how proud I am. The way with the lockout and no OTAs and some of the players he hadnt met until the latter part of July he came in and got a lot of work done in August and the preseason, then to come here on opening day against the Seahawks, a divisional team and a team you have to beat if youre going to have a chance to get to the playoffs, bowed his neck and jetted out his jaw and said, Lets get it done. Team Harbaugh went 2-for-2 on Sunday.
Jack Harbaugh and wife, Jackie, also celebrated John Harbaughs 357 rout with the Baltimore Ravens over Pittsburgh albeit from afar. It was a fantastic day for us to experience John and Jim, who are brothers in the NFL, and then to go back-to-back with wins, Jack Harbaugh said. Its an outstanding feeling. Just imagine all those parents out there, they have their youngsters in academics, music and art and the youngster brings home classwork and the pride that they feel. Jackie and I feel the same pride in our family. Notes: The Niners signed RB Ian Johnson to the practice squad and released RB Xavier Omon. ... Harbaugh had no update on WR Michael Crabtrees injured left foot after X-rays were negative Sunday night. The 2009 10th overall pick broke the foot and needed surgery after getting hurt during workouts led by quarterback Alex Smith during the NFL lockout this summer. When you come back from a long period of being out and then youre right back in there, there is some soreness, theres some rust, Harbaugh said. I think thats where he is, hes working through some things there.

Tom Brady
Brady shook off a rare turnover to throw for a team-record 517 yards and four touchdowns, including a 99yarder to Wes Welker, and the New England
Patriots started with a victory for the eighth consecutive season Monday night by beating the Miami Dolphins 38-24. Defensive end Jared Odrick picked off a deected pass to set up a Miami touchdown and end Bradys NFLrecord streak of 358 passes without an interception. Otherwise Brady and the reigning
AFC East champions picked up where they left off last season, when he threw for 36 TDs and his team led the league in scoring. New England totaled 622 yards, the most in franchise history and the most allowed by Miami. Bradys performance overshadowed Miamis Chad Henne, who threw for a careerhigh 416 yards.
The 906 net yards passing by both teams was an NFL record. They made some plays on us, Brady said. We made a few more than them. Brady, who went 32 for 48, became the 11th quarterback to throw for at least 500 yards. Norm Van Brocklin set the record of 554 yards in 1951.

bullpen unless one of the other starters gets hurt. One day after scoring eight runs in a win over the Dodgers the most runs by the Giants in more than a month the defending World Series champs matched it against the Padres. Beltran provided early Cody Ross offense when he snapped an 0-for-15 skid with a two-run shot off Aaron Harang in the rst. The ball easily cleared the wall in right eld, bounced on the cement landing and fell into McCovey Cove. It was Beltrans 18th home run of the season and third since being traded from the Mets to San Francisco on July 28. Ross homered leading off the third, then added an RBI single in the seventh. Sandoval put the game out of reach with his three-run drive off reliever Andrew Carpenter. Harang (13-6), who was 4-0 in six previous starts against the Giants, left after the fth. He allowed six hits and struck out four. San Diego, which fell to 1-4 on its seven-game road trip, scored a run in the fourth with the help of Surkamps throwing error, then added two more in the sixth on four consecutive two-out singles to chase the San Francisco rookie. Kyle Banks knocked in one run and Orlando Hudson singled in Chris Denora to cut the lead to 4-3. San Diego put two runners on in the eighth but failed to score. Sergio Romo, the fth San Francisco pitcher, got Hudson to hit into an inning-ending double play, then retired the side in the ninth.

SAN FRANCISCO Carlos Beltran, Cody Ross and Pablo Sandoval homered in a rare show of power at AT&T Park, and the San Francisco Giants beat the San Diego Padres 8-3 on Monday night. Ross also singled, doubled and scored three times to back a solid outing by rookie Eric Surkamp. The setting was a lot different than a year ago at this time when these teams battled for the NL West title in a race that went down to the nal day of the regular season. The Giants still harbor slim postseason hopes this year they began the night 8 1/2 games behind division-leading Arizona while the Padres are just nishing out the string. San Francisco, the majors lowest-scoring team since the All-Star break, put up eight runs for the second straight game. Its the rst time the Giants have done that in back-to-back games since the rst two games of the 2010 World Series. Most of the offense came from San Franciscos big three of Beltran, Ross and Sandoval. Beltran went 2 for 4 and drove in two runs, Ross added a pair of RBIs and Sandoval capped the night with a towering, three-run homer in the seventh. Its the rst time the Giants have hit three home runs in a game at their waterfront ballpark since Sept. 30, 2010. Surkamp (2-0) pitched 5 2-3 innings for his second major league victory both coming against San Diego. The left-hander, who beat the Padres on Sept. 6, allowed seven hits and walked one. That might be enough to keep the 24-year-old in the Giantsrotation.

WASHINGTON The average fair market value of top-tier college football and mens basketball players is over $100,000 each, and the athletes are entitled to at least a portion of that, a new report from an advocacy group argues. Instead of getting what theyre worth, the players receive athletic scholarships that dont cover the full cost of attending school, leaving many of them living below the poverty line, says the report, The Price of Poverty in Big Time College Sport. A national college athletesadvocacy group and a sports management professor calculate in the report that if college sports shared their revenues the way pro sports do, the average Football Bowl Subdivision player would be worth $121,000 per year, while the average basketball player at that level would be worth $265,000. The Associated Press obtained a copy of the report ahead of its ofcial release, scheduled for Tuesday. Ramogi Huma, a former UCLA linebacker who heads the National College Players Association, wrote the report with Drexel University professor Ellen J. Staurowsky. The association is an advocacy group for college athletes which Huma says has more than 14,000 members about half of whom are currently enrolled. Huma and Staurowsky argue that the players should receive a portion of new revenues, like TV
contracts, to be put in an educational lockbox. Players could tap those funds to help cover educational costs if they exhaust their athletic eligibility before they graduate or receive the money with no strings attached upon graduating. They also propose that athletes be free to seek commercial deals, such as endorsements, with some of the money from that going to the lockbox, and the rest available for the athletes immediate use. They also say that schools should pay for costs beyond the tuition, student fees and room and board covered by athletic scholarships. The report calculates the shortfall for the full cost of attending college when things such as clothing and emergency trips home are added in at $952 to $6,127, depending on the college. That leaves students on full athletic scholarships living below the poverty line at around 85 percent of the schools, the report claims, by comparing the value of the scholarships room and board to the federal poverty guideline for a single individual. Huma acknowledged that calculation does not take into account nancial assistance students might get from home, or summer jobs, but he said most athletes are pressured to attend voluntary summer workouts, making it hard to get outside work. The report calls for action from Congress to achieve some of these goals, arguing that federal intervention is necessary because college presidents arent in a position to take meaningful reform. The NCAA, which puts the athletesamateur status at the center of its mission, would oppose much of what the report proposes.

ultimate prize, and considers the Chase just a brief break from the constant scrutiny on his failure to contend for a championship. Making the Chase is important, but I have made the Chase Dale Earnhardt Jr. before. I know what that feels like. My main concern is for us to be more competitive as a team, Earnhardt said. It is really frustrating to make the Chase and then not be as competitive as you want to be during those races. That is really all I am thinking about. The last few weeks have been jarring for Earnhardt fans, who were ecstatic when his pairing with crew chief Steve Letarte resulted in a fast start to the season. It raised hopes that this might nally be the year Earnhardt claims his rst Cup title. Three top-10 nishes in April and near-wins at Martinsville and Charlotte moved him to third in the standings, where he hovered through 15 races. Then he overheated on the road course at Sonoma and nished 41st. Hes had just one top-10 nish in the last 12 races, a slide that put his Chase participation in serious jeopardy. Although he went into Saturday nights race at Richmond ranked ninth in the standings and only needed a nish of 20th or better to make the eld, the entire 400 miles were a nailbiting test of patience. He ran in the 20s most of the race, griped to Letarte about how difcult his car has been to drive over the last 10 races and seemed at times rattled to the point of resignation. I cant think of the big picture because I really cant see it. Yall can see it, Earnhardt sighed. Letarte, who plays the role of cheerleader and mental motivator to perfection, urged Earnhardt to stay focused when the driver seemed to be on the edge of despair.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. NASCAR has never hidden its desire to have Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the championship eld. As the sports most popular driver, his participation in the title chase raises the prole of the 10-race series. After a two-year absence, Earnhardt nally is back in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. But is he a legitimate title contender? Probably not, based on the last three months of racing, with just one top-10 nish in the last 12 races. NASCAR will soon find out if Earnhardts mere presence is enough to sustain fan interest over the next 10 weeks. If hes not running up front and challenging for wins, hell stay close to the bottom in the standings, and all those eyeballs NASCAR is hoping for wont be watching come mid-November. Earnhardt, by the way, has never said that simply making the Chase is his end game. Hes chasing the Sprint Cup, the
WESTON, Fla. Former World Series MVP Manny Ramirez was arrested and charged with battery Monday after a domestic dispute at his South Florida home, police said. Ramirez, 39, and his wife were arguing in their bedroom when he slapped her face, causing her to hit her head on their beds headboard, according to a police report. She told the deputy she was afraid the situation would escalate and called police. Ramirez denied hitting his wife, according to the report, telling a deputy he grabbed his wife by the shoulders and when he shrugged her, she hit her head. Ramirezs wife, Juliana, had red swelling on her face and a small bruise on the back of her head, the police report said. She did not Manny Ramirez want medical treatment. Ramirez retired in April from the Tampa Bay Rays after he tested positive for a performance-enhancing substance. Rather than face a 100-game suspension for a second violation of Major League Baseballs drug policy, the 12-time All-Star left the game. Ramirez previously served a 50-game ban in 2009 with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Second-time offenders get double that penalty. One of the games great sluggers, Ramirez was named MVP of the World Series in 2004 and helped Boston end an 86-year title drought. He was selected 13th overall by the Cleveland Indians in the 1991 amateur draft and rose quickly through the minor leagues with a youthful exuberance and natural charisma. He broke into the majors in 1993 and played his rst full season the following year, when he nished second to the Royals Bob Hamlin in voting for Rookie of the Year. Ramirez went on to establish himself as one of the games most feared hitters, adopting a dreadlock hairdo that seemed to mirror his happy-go-lucky demeanor.

Pivotal stretch of NBA lockout starts Tuesday
NEW YORK A pivotal stretch in the NBA lockout begins Tuesday, when full bargaining committees return to the table. That could move players and owners closer to a new labor deal, but it also could send things in the wrong direction with time running down if more voices in the room leads to discord. Any setback now would diminish hopes of the preseason opening without delay. The reality is our training camp would be scheduled to start on Oct. 3rd I believe, and so if
theres any intention of trying to get that started on time, then we both have to gure some things out very quickly, players association president Derek Fisher of the Lakers said last week. Thats just the reality of the situation. The process toward getting a new collective bargaining agreement seems to have gotten back on track after three meetings in the past two weeks between top negotiators from each side. They decided their full committees have to return before they can go any further, so the owners labor relations committee and the unions executive committee were told to come to New York for a session Tuesday, and perhaps even Wednesday. That should more than double the number of people in the room from last week, when there were nine.

the team, especially at the high-school level, and the best chance to win is to have that player with the ball in his hands as much as possible. Generally speaking, running backs are some of the best athletes on the football team, and now and then they get injured, too, Gray said. When you run a single-back offense, it really isnt a single-back offense. The second running back is the quarterback. Its no different if we were running the split-back veer. Quarterbacks, in most offenses, need to be runners. And dont expect football teams to get away from running their quarterback. While a quarterback on the move may invite more contact, which brings more chance of injury with it, Poulos believes they are more in control of how they deal with that contact. He could step out of bounds to avoid the big hit, drop his shoulder and initiate the contact himself, or simply slide to the ground. Compare that to a blindside shot to the back as the quarterback surveys the eld. [Beekley] got hurt on a bootleg pass. He didnt see his route and he pulled it down and ran, best head referees around, Mike McCarron, who coincidentally, works as San Francisco International Airports ofcial spokesman. [McCarron] works at an airport. He knows something about the threat of lightning, Sell said. I looked at Mike (during the game) and he didnt seem concerned. That guy knows what a lightning storm is. I have to think running an airport, thats the rst class you take. It was never really close to the eld, McCarron said. I never heard any thunderclaps. And that is one of the criteria used to decide when a game is delayed due to lightning. The National Federation of State High Schools Federation the group that writes the high school football rule book states play is immediately suspended when thunder is heard, there is a cloud to ground bolt of lightning, or if lightning appears imminent. When a game is delayed by lightning, there I felt like if we were a good enough team, wed get the job done, he said. I knew my team could x the car good enough, and if everything fell the right way for us as far as them cautions and getting them lucky dogs, getting an opportunity to work on the car, wed be ne. For now, sure. But 16th-place nishes wont cut it going forward. Starting Sunday at Chicago, all 12 drivers in the Chase must be perfect to have a chance at winning the title. The eld is too deep for anyone to be mediocre, and it should only take a Poulos said. Running quarterbacks at least have control of their body. At least theyre not just standing there (to take a defenseless shot). The other reason coaches will not shy away from using their quarterback as a running back is for purely strategic reasons. If you play a quarterback who is not a runner, youre essentially defending 10 guys, Gray said. When you have to defend all 11, it becomes much harder. Thats one of the theories of the spread offense. Defenses have to defend the entire eld length and width. [Having a running quarterback] puts tremendous strain on defenses. Since a football team is always one play away from putting in their backup quarterback, it becomes imperative the coaching staff develops a capable backup. In the case of Sequoia, the Cherokees run the same offense at the freshman, junior varsity and varsity levels. Taylor was the starting quarterback on the frosh-soph team last year so the transition to starter at the varsity level should be fairly smooth. is a 30-minute rule: the game must be delayed 30 minutes from the last lightning sighting or thunderclap. Every time either of those happen, the clock restarts and everyone needs to wait 30 minutes again. We were checking it, McCarron said. When you get ashes and booms real quick, thats when you clear the eld. As always, Sell had a quip for the electric evening: For a while there, I thought lightning was the only way we would stop Andrew Ho. Ho nished the night with six catches for 99 yards and two touchdowns. *** One of my favorite features in Sports Illustrated is the Faces in the Crowd segment that highlights individual performances of everyday people. It highlights a lot of high school athletes, as well as those at smaller colleges and universities, along with athletes who excel in smaller sports. race or two for the top teams to move to the front of the standings. Earnhardt, who has not won a race since 2008, is already in a hole: Seeded 10th in the eld, he trails co-leaders Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick by 12 points. It doesnt help, either, that this eld is stacked. Carl Edwards has been the strongest driver through a long stretch of the season, and former champion Matt Kenseth has two wins and has been quite consistent. Jeff Gordon, a three-time winner this season, is running far better than he

runs the ball a lot? Just because the quarterback has the initials QB next to his name, he and the head coach are open to more scrutiny. When youre playing football as a coach and as a player, you can not be concerned with injury, said Terra Nova coach Bill Gray. Does it (injuries) happen to running quarterbacks an inordinate amount of time? Probably not. You just notice it more. Quarterbacks are runners and they are susceptible (to injury). The designation (next to their name on the roster) should be, multi-talented athlete. No matter the team or level, a football coachs job is to put his best players on the eld and get the ball into the hands of their playmakers. In many cases, quarterbacks are the best athletes on

CHICAGO Many consumers mistakenly believe new prescription drugs are always safer than those with long track records, and that only extremely effective drugs without major side effects win government approval, according to a new study. A national survey of nearly 3,000 adults nds that about 4 in 10 wrongly believe the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approves only extremely effective drugs. One in 4 mistakenly believes the FDA allows only drugs that dont have serious side effects. That means consumers may not get the benet from drugs they think theyre getting, or they may expose themselves to more harm than they think said study co-author Dr. Steven Woloshin of the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice and the VA Outcomes Group In truth, the FDA approves a new drug when its benets outweigh any known risks. FDA approval doesnt mean the drugs benets are large compared to drugs already on the market. And risks for some drugs appear only after theyve been used by millions of people and long after FDA approval. For instance, Merck & Co. withdrew the FDA-approved arthritis pill Vioxx after its heart risks surfaced. The new survey, appearing in Mondays Archives of Internal Medicine, revealed a partial solution to consumer confusion: Simply worded cautions can make a difference in which drugs people choose. To test that idea, the researchers dreamed up two ctional drugs for heart disease and two for heartburn. The survey

Seelys and other Chula Vista residents appealed that decision, too. NDNU and planning commissioners worked for nearly two years to amend the old CUP but the council, after the Seelys appealed last year, essentially changed the CUP so much that the university rejected it outright back in February. NDNU currently operates the field under a CUP crafted in 2005 that prevents youth soccer groups from using Koret. The university hopes this time around that the council rejects the Seelys appeal. NDNU has supported the application by the two youth groups for use of Koret Field from the beginning. We hope the Belmont City Council will move expeditiously to dismiss this appeal and give the citys youth a badly needed place to play, Dr. Judith Greig wrote in an email to the Daily Journal yesterday. Lieberman suspects the council will favor the new uses at Koret despite the appeal. I anticipate the appeal will be denied, he said. Mayor Coralin Feierbach said tonights discussion on the amended CUP should in no way be similar to the one earlier this year. given the added caution. The make-believe heartburn drugs worked equally well and were free, consumers were told. The difference? One was approved by the FDA in 2009, the other in 2001. This time, 53 percent chose the older drug when given a warning about the newer one. The caution said: As with all new drugs, rare but serious side effects may emerge after the drug is on the market when larger numbers of people have used the drug. Fewer people, 34 percent, chose the older and perhaps safer drug when they didnt get that warning. One of the reasons doctors tend to prescribe newer, expensive drugs is theres a widespread perception that newer is better, said Dr. Michael Steinman of San Francisco VA Medical Center, who wrote a commentary about the study in the journal. Thats

whistles. This time around, however, the decision should be a little easier to make, said Councilman Warren Lieberman. It is a very simple situation this time, he said. Hopefully, no one will overthink it. The only change the university is seeking, Lieberman said, is for the Belmont-Redwood Shores American Youth Soccer Organization and Belmont United Soccer Club to use Koret during times the city already permits. The city has a shortage of playing fields for youth, Lieberman said, and will only get worse as work gets under way on fields at both Ralston and Fox schools. Tonight, the City Council will consider the appeal. The university attempted to amend its conditional-use permit for the field previously to allow for greater use by expanding its hours of operation and permitted uses and got Planning Commission approval before the
I dont think they had objections to allowing the use of the field by children, Feierbach said. The Seelys say a California Environmental Quality Act review should be conducted to gauge noise and traffic impacts to adjacent neighborhoods with any changes to the CUP. City staff disagree, however, saying a categorical exemption applies to the project sometimes true, but many times its not true. So much of what doctors learn about new drugs is somehow affected by drug company marketing. The survey was conducted in 2009 by the Internet research firm Knowledge Networks, and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 2.4 percentage points. Participants were recruited using telephone and mail sampling and given free Internet access if they needed it. Woloshin said simple cautions would help doctors, too, and should be part of drug advertising and labeling. He and co-author Dr. Lisa Schwartz have been working with the FDA to improve its guidance to drug makers on writing labels, he said. They also are promoting the idea of drug fact boxes, similar to the nutrition fact boxes on packaged foods. The fact boxes, written

posed a question: Which drug would you choose? Participants were told both heart disease drugs were free and both lowered cholesterol, but only one was known to reduce heart attacks. Seventy-one percent of people chose the better drug that reduced heart attacks, when they were reminded in a warning the other one only lowered cholesterol levels. It is not known whether it will help patients feel better or live longer, the warning said. Fewer people, 59 percent, made the better choice when they werent
in plain English, would tell consumers how well a drug works compared to other drugs and include side effects. Last years national health care law required the Department of Health and Human Services to report to Congress on the evidence for drug fact boxes. The departments report said it needed at least three more years to study the idea. Drug fact boxes could help consumers and doctors, Steinman said, and patients can question their doctors about prescriptions. He suggested these questions for starters: Is this drug recommended by the guidelines for my disease? Is there a drug thats equally effective but has a longer track record of safety? Has this drug been shown to help people like me live longer or feel better?

WASHINGTON As her mothers Alzheimers worsened over eight long years, so did Doreen Alfaros bills: The walker, then the wheelchair, then the hospital bed, then the diapers and the caregivers hired for more and more hours a day so Alfaro could go to work and her elderly father could get some rest. Alfaro and her husband sold their California house to raise money for her mothers nal at-home care. Six years later, the 58-year-old Alfaro wonders if she eventually develops Alzheimers, too, what happens to my care? Where will I go? Dementia is poised to become a dening disease of the rapidly aging population and a budget-busting one for Medicare, Medicaid and families. Now the Obama administration is developing the rst National Alzheimers Plan, to combine research aimed at ghting the minddestroying disease with help that caregivers need to stay aoat. This is a unique opportunity, maybe an opportunity of a lifetime in a sense, to really have an impact on this disease, says Dr. Ronald Petersen of the Mayo Clinic, who chairs a committee that later this month begins advising the government on what that plan should include. An estimated 5.4 million Americans have Alzheimers or similar dementias. Its the sixth-leading killer. There is no cure; treatments only temporarily ease some symptoms. Barring a research breakthrough, those numbers will worsen steadily as the baby boomers gray: By 2050, anywhere from 13 million to 16 million Americans are projected to have Alzheimers, costing a $1 trillion in medical and nursing home expenditures. But thats not the full toll. Sufferers lose the ability to do the simplest activities of daily life and can survive that way for a decade or more, requiring years of care from family, friends or paid caregivers. Already a recent report nds that nearly 15 million people, mostly family members, are providing more than $200 billion worth of unpaid care. Thousands of those caregivers have turned out at public meetings since early August and at a telephone town meeting organized by the Alzheimers Association that drew 32,000 people pleading for a national Alzheimers strategy to bring changes. They want primary care doctors trained to diagnose dementia earlier, describing
What I want to see is mainly awareness,awareness of this disease and what it does not only to the individual but also to the network of family and friends that are going to care for the person.
Doreen Alfaro
how years of missed symptoms cost them precious time to make plans or seek treatment. They demand to know why the National Institutes of Health spends about six times more on AIDS research than on Alzheimers, when there are good drugs to battle back the HIV virus but nothing comparable for dementia. Overwhelmingly, they ask for resources to help Alzheimers patients live their last years at home without ruining their caregivers own health and nances. Either youre rich and can afford $25 an hour for care at home, or you send him to a facility. Were in the middle of the road, says Shirley Rexrode of suburban San Francisco, whose 85-year-old father, Hsien-Wen Li, was diagnosed with Alzheimers nearly three years ago. Adult day care didnt work out even at $90 a day, the only place with an opening couldnt handle the behaviors of Alzheimers. Rexrodes mother, Lis primary caregiver, already has suffered some depression. We just have to muddle through, but we dont know how long we can, Rexrode says. And while Medicare will pay for doctor bills and medications, even getting to the doctor can be a hurdle. When her 89-yearold mother with advanced Alzheimers developed a urinary tract infection, Susan Lynch couldnt nd a doctor willing to come to her parents home in Fall River, Mass. Lynch ew there from her Gaithersburg, Md., home but couldnt carry her mother down the stairs. A private ambulance service didnt have an opening for weeks. Lynch wound up calling the town ambulance for a costly but Medicare-covered trip to the emergency room. Federal health ofcials, who promise a rst draft of the national plan by December, say theyre getting the message. Folks desperately, desperately want to be able to provide the care themselves, says Donald Moulds, a deputy assistant secretary at the Department of Health and Human Services who oversees the project. Its very, very hard work. Figuring out better mechanisms for supporting people
who are trying to do that work is, one, the right thing to do. It also may be cheaper for taxpayers. Nursing homes not only are pricier than at-home care, but many families only can afford them through Medicaid, the health care program for the poor. Another key, Moulds says, is better care coordination as Alzheimers complicates the many other health problems of aging. But given the budget crisis, the big question is whether any anti-Alzheimers strategy can come with enough dollars and other incentives attached to spur true change. Thats a concern, a very real one, says Mayos Petersen. The law that requires a national Alzheimers plan didnt set funding, and Moulds is mum on a possible price tag. Almost complete is an inventory of all Alzheimers-related research and care reimbursement paid for by the U.S. government, to look for gaps that need lling and possible savings to help pay for them. Other countries including England and Australia and 25 U.S. states, by Moulds count have developed their own Alzheimers plans. But the U.S. is taking a special look at France, where President Nicolas Sarkozy in 2008 pledged to invest 1.6 billion euros, about $2.2 billion, over ve years for better diagnosis, research and caregiver support and training. Sarkozy told an international Alzheimers Association meeting in July that he wants to guarantee that no French family is left without support. Moulds says its too early to know whats working in France. But U.S. families are telling him that any Alzheimers plan must bring better understanding of a disease too often suffered in isolation. What I want to see is mainly awareness, awareness of this disease and what it does not only to the individual but also to the network of family and friends that are going to care for the person, says Alfaro, of Aptos. It should be as understood as diabetes, and as treatable, adds Audrey Wiggins of Triangle, Va., whose father has and grandmother died of Alzheimers.

OBAMA

with some Democrats. Yet by daring Republicans anew to reject tax hikes on the rich Obama could gain a talking point as the 2012 presidential campaign moves forward, if not a legislative victory. At a Rose Garden event Monday, Obama brandished his jobs bill and surrounded himself with police ofcers, reghters, teachers, construction workers and others he said would be helped by it. Adopting a newly combative tone thats been welcomed by dispirited Democrats, Obama demanded immediate action on the legislation, which the White House sent to Capitol Hill Monday afternoon. Instead of just talking about Americas job creators, lets actually do something for Americas job creators, he said. Late in the day, he told a group of Spanish-language reporters that if Congress agreed to just a portion of the bill he would accept it while still ghting for more. I am going to put forward the entire bill and I have asked them to pass the entire bill. Obviously, if they pass parts of it, I am not going to veto those parts, Obama said. I will sign it, but I will then say, give me the rest, and I will keep on making that argument. In the Rose Garden, he told of reading a quotation in a newspaper article from a Republican congressional aide who questioned why Republicans should work with Obama since the result might just be to help the president politically. That was very explicit, Obama said. Buck, the Boehner spokesman, said the anonymous quote cited by the president didnt reect the view of Republican leadership. And even as Obama was accusing Republicans of playing politics, he and his Democratic allies were marshaling an aggressive political response of their own.

Under the proposal, students would instead attend the San MateoFoster City Elementary and San Mateo Union High school districts. The four districts were asked to weigh in on the proposal before the San Mateo County Committee on School District Organization meets Sept. 27. Opinions are split. Thus far, San Mateo-Foster City supports the idea and San Mateo Union will remain neutral. Sequoia and Belmont-Redwood Shores will discuss the topic at board meetings later this week. Sequoias staff recommends opposing the change while Belmont is considering a neutral stance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- By putting too much pressure on someone who is indebted to you, you might cause him or her to go underground. Let up a little and give this person a lot of room to pay you back. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If the entire household doesnt handle the family funds in a prudent manner,
it could quickly become an abrasive issue. Each person must be fair about what is his or her share. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- It behooves you to set a good example, because persons who are working at your side will emulate your behavior. If you do little, so will they, and nothing will get done. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Unless you champion your own cause, what you accomplish may not be noticed and it isnt likely youll be properly compensated for your services. Speak up! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Make it very clear to youngsters in your charge that certain rules have been laid down for their own good. Unless they understand the necessity, they could be troublemakers. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Unfortunately, it is rarely smart to try to even up an old score with
someone who has wronged us in the past, and this goes for you too. All it will do is contribute to new complications. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Again you might be unduly generous to the wrong people. Stop ignoring the deserving who say nothing, while catering to the manipulators who wont stop complaining. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Unless you first clarify your goals, you could end up wasting valuable time on projects or objectives that yield very little satisfaction. Make a list and stick to it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Those who work at your side could find you an extremely difficult person to please, unless you take it upon yourself to first lay all your cards out on the table. Let others know what you want.
