New face on Caltrain board a familiar one

Tom Nolan was Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Boards first chair
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Caltrains newest board member, Tom Nolan, is more than just the current chair of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, he is also executive director of Project Open Hand, a nonprofit agency devoted to feeding the criti-
Tom Nolan
cally ill, mostly living with symptomatic HIV and AIDS. Others might remember him, however, as being the first openly gay supervisor in
San Mateo Countys history, having served the board from 1985 to 1992. As Nolan, 66, is set to retire from San Francisco-based Project Open Hand at the end of this year, after serving as its executive director for 16 years, he is ready to embark on his next great mission in life, although he has yet to determine what that may be.
In the meantime, he is rejoining a board he is more than just a little familiar with, in fact, he was the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Boards very first chair back in 1987, just after San Mateo, San Francisco and Santa Clara counties purchased the Caltrain corridor from Southern Pacic Railroad for about $120 million.
From the very beginning, the goals were to electrify the system, increase service and get the trains into downtown San Francisco, Nolan told the Daily Journal Monday. Ironically, nearly 25 years later, the goals are about the same.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A boy left for dead after being shot several times in South San Francisco Sunday night has been identied as Joseph Maharaj, 14, according to the Coroners Ofce. While police have yet to determine whether the fatal shooting of the boy was gang-related, residents who live near where he was found in the street with another 14-yearold shooting victim suspect that it was. The fatal shooting was the rst homicide in South San Francisco this year but last year the city suffered a spate of gang-related murders that shook the city, including a triple homicide Dec. 22. Sunday nights shooting happened just before 9 p.m. and when police arrived they found two gunshot victims, both 14, and another teen, 15, on the 600 block of First Lane between Magnolia and Orange avenues. The teens were treated at the scene and transported to a hospital where one of them was later pronounced dead. The other 14-yearold was shot at least four times but is expected to survive. The third victim, who was not shot, was being cooperative with police, said South

Coroner: Remains those of missing nursing student

Michelle Le
HAYWARD Badly decomposed human remains found in a San Francisco Bay Area canyon are those of Michelle Le, the missing nursing student who disappeared in May while taking a school
break, police said Monday night. Hayward police said tests by the Alameda County coroner on the remains confirmed they were those of the 26-year-old Le. Police said the coroner has not yet determined Les cause or manner of death, and declined
to release any further information. On Saturday, police and volunteer searchers discovered the remains off a dirt trail in a rugged Alameda County canyon. Police said cellphone signals from Le and a former school friend they suspect in her
The Los Altos woman accused of stabbing her estranged husband several times at their Redwood Citybased construction company ofce rst stunned him with a Taser and clothed herself in bubble wrap as protection against being hit herself, according to prosecutors. Laura Jean Wenke, 50, was also the recipient of a $2 million life insurance policy if her husband died and was very jealous of his new girlfriend, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. The latest details in the case of Wenke come just as she was arraigned on attempted murder charges and which prosecutors say paint a picture of a deliberate act. It certainly seems like pretty darn good evidence of premeditation, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. Wenke allegedly went to the business on the end block of Laurel Street and parked a truck in front of the ofce windows, blocking the view of passersby to the inside where she asked her husband to look up something in his computer. As he worked, Wenke stunned and then stabbed him with a folding knife several times in the neck and torso, prosecutors said. After her arrest, police reported she was wearing a mechanics jumpsuit and underneath the clothing her torso was swaddled in bubble wrap.

Tony Bennett celebrates 85th with all-star concert
NEW YORK Tony Bennett makes 85 look like the new 55. The legendary crooner celebrated his milestone birthday with a star-studded concert at the Metropolitan Opera House on Sunday, looking youthful and spry as he performed for more than an hour Tony Bennett without taking so much as a water break. He danced, told jokes, and sang duets with Aretha Franklin, Elton John and Alejandro Sanz for a capacity crowd that included Robert De Niro and Katie Couric. I think it is amazing. He is amazing. This just goes to tell you nobody under 85 can complain about jack, said Whoopi Goldberg, who was also in attendance. Dont tell me you are tired. I dont want to hear it. Tony Bennett can sing a cappella in the Met. Former President Bill Clinton kicked off the evenings festivities. He said he and his wife, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, also in attendance, have been long time fans of Bennetts music and art (Bennett is a painter as well). Tony Bennett has become part of our lives. Something special. Something different. An artist in so many ways, Clinton said.
No jet lag for 120 donkeys after Hawaii-California flight

TEHACHAPI Most people have been on a plane with a few jackasses before. But 10 dozen donkeys on one ight? One hundred and twenty donkeys have arrived at a sanctuary in California on a plane from Hawaii chartered by the Humane Society of the United States. Tracy Miller, manager of Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue in Tehachapi, said Sunday the donkeys are none the worse for wear after the long ight and a twohour drive Saturday that followed it. They are descendants of donkeys brought to Hawaiis Big Island to work coffee plantations then cast aside when they became obsolete. Recent drought conditions have brought hundreds of donkeys down from the mountains into developed Hawaii, where they have disrupted trafc and made other trouble for humans, inspiring a search for new homes.

Demolishing a longtime Redwood City bowling alley and replacing it with a fourstory condominium complex will cause the signicant loss of a historic resource but all other impacts are xable, according to a preliminary environmental analysis. The Mels Bowl pole sign could be relocated or salvaged but its not known if a comparable location is available. Redwood City planning ofcials Tuesday night will ask the public to weigh in on this and other facets of the plan to replace Mels Bowl with a 141-unit, four-story condominium project. The Planning Commission is holding a public hearing on the draft environmental input report for the site at 2580 El Camino Real. The commission is not making any decisions on the proposed project but wants to hear any concerns residents may have about its impact to the area. The DEIR also found signicant impacts to erosion, air and noise quality and hydrology in the short term because of construction but concluded those and other areas of land use and greenhouse gases can be mitigated. Once the Planning Commission collects public comment, they will be incorporated into a final EIR for consideration later this year. The review period has
been extended to Oct. 26. Mels Bowl, officially known as AMF Redwood Lanes, closed its doors in May. The corporation only leased the property now slated for housing. The plan by developer Urban Housing Group includes the multi-family development plus 232 parking stalls and other amenities like storage for 47 bicycles, a pool, tness center and clubhouse on the 2.51-acre site. There will also be unique transportation aspects, such as a a tenant web portal to help in carpool matching, provisions for a car-sharing vendor like Zipcar and two electric vehicle charging stations. The project has been tweaked slightly since the last EIR scoping session in March and now includes a mix of a single studios, 99 one-bed, one-bath units and 41 two-bedroom, two-bath units using 12 different oor plans ranging from 710 to 1,340 square feet. The building will be three to four stories wrapping around three sides of a four- to vestory concrete parking garage. The proposal also includes widening the El Camino Real sidewalk, adding new trees and lighting and adhering to green building standards.

Obama endorses ending day of mail delivery

By Randolph E. Schmid
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama said Monday the U.S. Postal Service should be allowed to reduce mail delivery to ve-days-a-week to help cut its massive losses. The Postal Service lost $8.5 billion last year and is facing even more red ink this year as the Internet siphons off large amounts of rstclass mail and the weak economy reduces advertising mail. While the post ofce has cut more than 100,000 workers in the last few years it needs to cut more, close ofces and nd other ways to reduce costs to keep operating. In his economic growth and debt reduction plan unveiled Monday, Obama endorsed the idea of dropping one day of mail delivery it is expected to be Saturday and urged other changes in postal operations He agreed that nearly $7 billion the post ofce has overpaid into the federal retirement system should be refunded to the agency, urged that its payments for advance funding of retiree medical benets be restructured, and said the post ofce should be allowed to sell non-postal products and raise postage rates.
REUTERS
Barack Obama talks to the press in the Rose Garden of the White House.
Currently the post ofce cannot raise rates more than the amount of ination. Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe said the president has offered helpful recommendations to stabilize the Postal Services nancial crisis.
Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., who has proposed a bill including many of the same suggestions, welcomed the presidents statement. I have been saying for some time now that Congress and the administration need to come together on a plan that can save the Postal Service and protect the more than seven million jobs that rely on it, he said in a statement. Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., who has his own postal reform bill in the House, responded that the presidents proposal is not what taxpayers or the Postal Service needs. He asserted that Obamas plan will certainly cost taxpayers money. Currently the post ofce does not receive tax funds for its operations. Meanwhile, 75 members of Congress led by Reps. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., and Don Young, R-Alaska, called on the independent Postal Regulatory Commission to block the post ofces plans to close as many as 3,700 local ofces across the country. The proposed closures, most in rural locations that do little business, are currently under review. The letter called for establishment of a new business model for the post ofce without closing ofces and cutting its work force.
Police searching for Senator not always critical of energy loan program man who grabbed girl
By Matthew Daly
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
An underage girl escaped a kidnapping attempt in South San Francisco Monday morning, police said. The girl was walking in the 700 block of Camaritas Avenue, when a man in his 20s grabbed her arm and tried to pull her away at around 8:45 a.m., according to South San Francisco police. The girl was able to free herself and ran to a nearby school, police said. She was not injured. The suspect was last seen walking in the 800 block of Alta Loma Avenue.
He was described as a black man with a medium build between 5 feet and 5 feet 5 inches tall, with brown and black hair worn in shoulder-length dreadlocks. He was wearing a red and orange baseball cap the letter T on the front, a blue-green short-sleeve shirt, dark blue pants and red Nike Air Jordan shoes. He has two stud piercings on the right side of his neck, and a barbell piercing on the upper portion of his left ear, police said. Anyone with information on the suspect or similar incidents is asked to contact the South San Francisco Police Department at (650) 877-8900.
WASHINGTON Republican Sen. David Vitter calls the Obama administration reckless for awarding billions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies for renewable energy projects, including a $528 million loan to a now-bankrupt California solar panel maker. But Vitter was not always so critical of the loan program. Documents obtained by the Associated Press show the Louisiana Republican wrote to the Energy Department at least seven times since 2009 seeking money for projects that would benet his home state. One of the projects backed by Vitter for a
company that makes activated carbon to reduce pollution at coal-red power plants has received preliminary approval for a $245 million loan guarantee. In April 2009, Vitter urged Energy Secretary Steven Chu to approve a loan for Red River Environmental Products, saying the Coushatta, La., company could help meet a growing demand for products that help power plants comply with stricter federal regulation of mercury emissions. I understand the importance of accessing the domestic energy resources we have, like coal, in an environmentally conscious manner, wrote Vitter, who also backed projects for nuclear power, renewable diesel fuel and a company that makes fuel-efcient cars.

The threat had surfaced about an hour earlier when a clerk at a bookstore in the nearby San Francisco International Airport discovered a letter containing a threat against the ight, said Mike McCarron, a San Francisco airport spokesman. The clerk called police, and San Francisco ofcials quickly contacted ofcials at the Oakland airport, McCarron said. The plane landed about 15 minutes ahead of its scheduled arrival and was met by members of the Transportation Security Administration and the Alameda County sheriffs department in a remote area of the airport, Egan said. Passengers were taken to a holding area and rescreened as bomb-snifng dogs inspected luggage on the tarmac, said Oakland airport spokeswoman Joanne Holloway.

Pendleton helicopter crash kills two Marines

CAMP PENDLETON A helicopter that went down during a training exercise at Southern Californias Camp Pendleton killed two Marines and set off a fast-moving brush re on the base Monday. Base reghters were battling the blaze, which had spread to 50 acres three hours after the 1 p.m. accident.

FBI: Violent crime down by 6 percent

Tax the rich,Obama says; class warfare, says GOP

By Jim Kuhnhenn
WASHINGTON Drawing clear battle lines for next years elections, a combative President Barack Obama on Monday demanded that the richest Americans pay higher taxes to help cut soaring U.S. decits by more than $3 trillion. He promised to veto any effort by congressional Republicans to cut Medicare benets for the elderly without raising taxes as well. This is not class warfare. Its math, Obama declared, anticipating Republican criticism, which was quick in coming. Class warfare isnt leadership, House Speaker John Boehner said, in Cincinnati. Obamas speech marked a new, confrontational stance toward Republicans after months of cooperation that many Democrats complained produced too many concessions. While the plan stands little chance of passing Congress, its populist pitch is one that the White House believes the public can support.
The presidents proposal, which he challenged Congress to approve, would predominantly hit upper-income taxpayers and would also target tax loopholes and subsidies used by many larger corporations. It would spare retirees from any changes in Social Security, and it would direct most of the cuts in Medicare spending to health care providers, not beneciaries. Benet programs wouldnt be unscathed. Obamas plan would reduce spending for those, including Medicare and Medicaid, by $580 billion. But with Republicans calling for massive cuts in entitlement programs, Obama said he would veto any legislation that cut Medicare benets without raising new revenue. His plan also would count savings of $1 trillion over 10 years from the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. The deficit-reduction plan represents Obamas longer-term follow-up to the $447 billion in tax cuts and new public works spending that he has proposed as a short-term measure to stimulate the economy.
WASHINGTON Violent crime dropped 6 percent in 2010, marking the fourth straight year-to-year decline, while property crime was down for the eighth straight year, falling 2.7 percent, the FBI said Monday, referring to crimes reported to authorities. Nationwide, there were an estimated 1.2 million violent crimes in 2010 and an estimated 9 million property crimes. The rate for murder and non-negligent manslaughter fell to 4.8 per 100,000 population, less than half what it was two decades ago. The last time that rate was lower was in 1963, according to FBI crime data.
An aging population, better policing and continued high rates of imprisonment for criminals are helping to drive down crime rates, criminologists say. Robbery fell 10 percent, rape dropped 5 percent, and murder, non-negligent manslaughter and aggravated assault fell more than 4 percent. Each category of property crime offenses decreased in 2010. The largest decline, 7.4 percent, was for motor vehicle thefts. Burglaries decreased 2 percent and larceny-thefts declined 2.4 percent. The last thing we should do is get complacent and say mission accomplished, and so lets transfer resources away to other areas, said James Alan Fox, a criminologist at Northeastern University.

Rivals: Is Perry weak on the right, or left?

By Charles Babingon
WASHINGTON Rick Perrys Republican rivals are struggling to nd a coherent, easy-to-grasp argument against the Texas governor, who tops GOP presidential polls despite attacks from all sides. In fact, its the all sides nature that complicates the oppositions message. Republican voters who watched last weeks presidential debate and its aftermath might wonder: Should I see Perry as too conservative or too moderate? Perry is the newest face in the GOP race and his opponents are determined to dene Rick Perry him for primary voters, casting him as liberal, conservative and unelectable. They hope their characterizations of the front-runner take hold before he has a chance to sway opinions. Mitt Romney depicts Perrys criticisms of Social Security as too far to the right. If we nominate someone who the Democrats could correctly characterize as being against Social Security, we will be obliterated as a party, the former Massachusetts governor said recently. On immigration, however, Romney and other opponents say Perry veers too far left. The governor opposes a fence along the entire border with Mexico, and he granted instate college tuition to illegal immigrants in Texas.
GOP-led states change voting rules ahead of 12

By Ann Sanner
COLUMBUS, Ohio After years of expanding when and how people can vote, state legislatures now under new Republican control are moving to trim early voting days, beef up identication requirements and put new restrictions on how voters are notied about absentee ballots. Democrats claim their GOP counterparts are using midterm election wins to enforce changes favorable to Republicans ahead of the 2012 presidential election. They criticize such legislation, saying it could lead to longer lines in Democratic-leaning urban areas and discourage people from voting. Supporters say bolstering ID rules helps prevent fraud. And at a time when counties face tough budgets, they contend local elections ofcials dont have the money to keep early voting locations staffed and opened. The process of changing voting rules may be nonpartisan on the surface but it is seething with politics just below the surface.

This free legal information session allows members of the public to talk with volunteer lawyers. Refreshments and childcare are provided. For information call 3634168. *** SAN MATEO COUNTY BAR SERVES THE COMMUNITY. Community Law Night is just one way the 1,400 members of the San Mateo County Bar Association fulll the Bars mission to promote the dignity of the legal profession and to assist the public in accessing legal services. The Bar also provides four major programs designed to help the San Mateo County community: the Public Defender Program, the Lawyer Referral Service, the Fee Arbitration Program and the Speakers Bureau. *** PRIVATE DEFENDER PROGRAM. San Mateo County does not have a traditional Public Defenders Ofce. Since 1968, the County has contracted with the San Mateo County Bar Association to provide indigent criminal defense through the Private Defender Program. Case assignments are made by the Programs staff on the basis of the nature, seriousness and complexity of the charge, matching the skill and experience of individual lawyers to the client and his or her case. The Program is also appointed in dependency and delinquency matters in Juvenile Court as well as mental health and civil matters. The Program assigns cases from a panel of approximately 100 attorneys, all of whom are in private practice. From the funds obtained under the contract with San Mateo County, the Bar Association pays the Private Defender Panel attorneys according to a fee schedule developed by the Administrator and the Private Defender Committee and

approved by the San Mateo County Bar Association Board of Directors. This unique program delivers high quality legal services to clients otherwise unable to hire counsel and it does so at substantial savings to the taxpayers of San Mateo County. *** LAWYER REFERRAL SERVICE. The San Mateo County Bar Associations Lawyer Referral Service (LRS) is a State Bar of California certied program, which, for a nominal fee, provides callers with the name of an attorney who will provide a 30-minute interview. The interview is an opportunity for the prospective client to explain the general nature of the legal problem and for the attorney to explain his or her fee structure and to determine if the case is one he or she wishes to pursue. The attorneys on the Service are in good standing with the State Bar of California and are required to carry malpractice insurance. LRS refers approximately 3,000 referrals to more than 150 attorneys annually. *** FEE ARBITRATION PROGRAM. The San Mateo County Bar Association Fee Arbitration Program allows clients and lawyers to settle fee disputes without litigation through an informal, lowcost alternative to the court system. Clients have the right to have a neutral party an arbitrator hear fee disputes with their attorneys. The arbitrator determines whether the fees and costs charged by the attorney are reasonable for the services provided. Fee arbitration for attorneys is mandated by California Business & Professions Code 62006206. *** SPEAKERS BUREAU. The San Mateo County Bar Association Speakers Bureau is a free service. All volunteer speakers are attorneys and members in good standing with the San Mateo County Bar Association and the State Bar of California. Participating attorneys visit businesses, schools, private or professional organizations, civic groups, and any number of other venues to present a topic that encourages lively discussion. *** GET MORE INFORMATION. The San Mateo County Bar Association, located at 333 Bradford St., Suite 200, Redwood City, can be reached at www.smcba.org, 298-4030 or by email at SMCountyBar@smcba.org. *** LEGALESE. What does Bar mean? The use of the term bar to mean the whole body of lawyers, the legal profession comes from English custom. In the early 16th century, a railing divided the hall in the Inns of Court, with law students occupying the body of the hall and readers or benchers on the other side. Students who ofcially became lawyers crossed the symbolic physical barrier and were admitted to the bar. *** A THOUGHT ABOUT LAW. Justice cannot be for one side alone, but must be for both.

The people who live here on the Peninsula, whether they were born here or want to move here, know what the attractions are living in this area. They understand that the Peninsula was born as a suburb of San Francisco.

Post office crisis
Editor, Another emergency that must be addressed immediately has arrived on the scene: The U.S. Postal Service (better known as the post ofce to most of us). This entity has been losing money for decades. With competition from email, electronic bill paying, United Parcel Service and FedEx, the need for the USPS has diminished. The current emergency is a $5.5 billion payment to nance retirees future health care. Like the prison guards, auto workers and municipal employees, USPS employees have very generous union contracts. These include high wages, generous health care, no layoff clauses and high retirement benets. Maybe it is time to shut down the entity and put the services up for bid. UPS, FedEx and DHL can certainly provide the service a lot cheaper.

Late Monday, Greeces nance minister said that the 2 1/2-hour conference call was productive and substantive. Hope that Greece might be closer to qualifying for rescue funds started a late comeback. The Dow gained about 100 points in the last hour of trading. But investors also appeared pessimistic about a Federal Reserve policy decision expected Wednesday. Some economists believe that since the Fed decided to hold a two-day meeting instead of the originally planned one-day session, that it was preparing to take steps to stimulate the economy. However, other analysts doubt that the Fed will announce a new plan for the economy. There is too much disagreement among Fed ofcials about monetary policy for a decision right now, said Ralph Fogel, head of investment strategy at Fogel Neale Partners in New York. Theyll have to let it play out at least a little while longer, and I think theyll wait until November, Fogel said.

That price was 3.2 percent higher than Fridays close and brought the companys market capitalization to $383 billion, albeit briey. The stock slipped to close at $411.63 and was trading after hours at $411.58, still up about 2.8 percent, while the Dow Jones industrial average closed down 0.9 percent. Apple is again the most valuable company in America, putting Exxon Mobil, whose market cap Monday was about $358 billion, at No. 2. The record-setting trade for 100 shares occurred at 3:39 p.m. Eastern time, according to FactSet.
Apple shares have risen steadily recently, despite company mastermind Steve Jobs resignation as CEO Aug. 24 amid an extended leave for medical reasons. The day after he announced he was stepping down, the stock closed at $373.72. JPMorgan analyst Mark Moskowitz issued a research note Monday speculating that Apple would release two new iPhones this fall an iPhone 5 that is lighter and slimmer and would work around the world, and a slightly improved iPhone 4 model that could target the explosive Chinese market. Moskowitz speculated that Apple would cut a new deal with a Chinese cellphone carrier that could give it access to more than 100 million more customers. Currently, Apple only has a relationship with carrier China Unicom, with 180 million subscribers, Moskowitz said.

U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke departs the lectern after speaking at a conference on systemic risk,at the Federal Reserve in Washington,D.C.
Bernanke is tolerating dissent

By Paul Wiseman
WASHINGTON For someone known as a consensus builder, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke sure generates and shrugs off a lot of dissent. Bernanke last month pushed ahead with a plan to keep short-term interest rates near zero through mid2013 despite three dissenting votes on the Feds policy-making committee. For decades, the Feds culture, and sometimes its strong-willed chiefs, have normally capped dissents at two. Former Fed Vice Chairman Alan Blinder, a Princeton economist, sug-
gests that Bernankes willingness to accept three dissents last month has broken the ice: Bernanke wont let resistance from several members stop him from pushing through bold moves that he and a Fed majority consider necessary. Its one reason many economists expect the central bank to announce something new after its policy meeting this week to try to jolt the sputtering economy. Eventually, some economists expect the Fed to try for the third time to stimulate growth through a program to buy Treasurys to lower long-term interest rates. Thats a step known as quantitative easing. Whatever step he proposes,
Bernanke would surely prefer unanimous support, to avoid sending any mixed messages to nancial markets. But the chairman, an eventempered academic, doesnt shrink from debate. My attitude has always been if two people always agree, one of them is redundant, Bernanke said after a speech this month in Minneapolis. I have always tried to encourage debate and discussion. He hasnt been disappointed. Bernanke hears plenty from dissenting committee members who worry that his efforts to energize growth and job creation with super-low interest rates are hurting savers and could ignite ination.
SAN FRANCISCO The CEO of Netix said he was sorry for mishandling a recent price increase that caused customers to cancel the service in droves. But the apology was drowned out by a decision that angered subscribers all over again. The company will split into two services one with an odd new name that offers the familiar discs in red envelopes and another for online streaming of TV shows and movies. The DVD service will be called Qwikster, a name that is supposed to signify a commitment to fast service but quickly became an object of ridicule Monday on the Internet. The streaming service will keep the Netix name. Netix, which had 24.6 million U.S. subscribers at the end of June and is the nations largest video subscription service, redefined
home entertainment over the past decade with its DVDs by mail. Now its trying to prepare for the day when watching movies on a disc goes the way of driving to the video store to pick up a VHS tape. But lately, it has bungled the transition. The company has lost half its market value since July, when it announced that customers who wanted DVDs and streaming had to pay for them separately and pay up to 60 percent more. The decision to rebrand the bestknown part of Netixs business left some experts wondering whether CEO Reed Hastings is losing the touch that established him as an inuential gure in technology and entertainment. Others see the logic in trying to make sure Netix keeps a thriving business as customers abandon DVDs and shift in greater numbers to beaming movies and TV shows into their living rooms over highspeed Internet connections.

A Serra football team that had looked unstoppable in the rst two weeks of the season got all they could handle in their latest win, a 34-28 overtime victory at Encinal High School.

The Jets actually outgained the Terra Nova quarterback Chris Forbes continued his torrid start to the 2011 season, completing 19 of 33 passes for 256 yards and three touchdowns against Pioneer. Unfortunately for the Tigers, Forbes performance was not enough as Pioneer defeated Terra Nova 34-27.
No. 2 Sacred Heart Prep 34, Los Altos 13

The Sacred Heart Prep Gators kept their record unblemished with a 3413 victory against Los Altos. The Gators rushed for 308 yards, the bulk coming from running backs Will Morgan (14 carries, 120 yards) and Ryan Gaertner (13 carries, 114 yards). Quarterback Jack Larson completed two touchdown passes.

Niners not discouraged Rivera is

saves king
NEW YORK Mariano Rivera stood by himself, in the center of the diamond at Yankee Stadium. For once, the great closer wasnt sure what to do next. So he smiled, blew a kiss to the crowd, and then doffed his cap as cheers washed over him following the record 602nd save of his career. Oh, my God, for the rst time in my career, Im on the mound alone, Rivera said. It was price- Mariano Rivera less. I didnt know it could be like that. Rivera pitched a perfect ninth inning, striking out Chris Parmelee on what appeared to be his signature cut fastball to end the New York Yankees 6-4 win over the Minnesota Twins on Monday. Fans from the smallest crowd in the Stadiums three-year history stood and shouted from Riveras rst pitch to his last as he retired Trevor Plouffe, Michael Cuddyer and Parmelee in order and broke Trevor Hoffmans mark. They even roared in the bottom of the eighth when Nick Swisher grounded into an inning-ending double play and drew a loud cheer from fans who wanted to see history made at the ballpark for the second time this summer. In July, Derek Jeter got his 3,000th hit at home. These guys are into it, Rivera thought to himself. Its a remarkable achievement, considering the slender right-hander throws mostly one pitch. Opposing hitters have seen it for years, but still havent gured it out. Its amazing, Cuddyer said. Youve got a

49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh said he was disappointed with his teams 27-24 loss against the Cowboys, but not discouraged.
SANTA CLARA Jim Harbaugh showed up for work Monday with the same black sweater, khaki pants and San Francisco 49ers cap that he wore on the sidelines the day before and has suited up in for almost every practice and team meeting this season. The wardrobe might be the only thing he
doesnt want to change. Harbaugh said Monday he is trying to forge an identity with the 49ers and it will take time to turn things around, even making a comparison to the nations debt challenge. After blowing a two-touchdown lead in a 27-24 overtime loss to an injured Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, San Francisco certainly has some work to do.
I think were in the process of nding our identity and having it click on all cylinders, a humbled Harbaugh said a day after his team collapsed. Were going to stick to our guns in a lot of ways. Disappointed like all fans, all players, all coaches, everybody involved. Disappointed but not discouraged. I feel were on track.

The Sequoia Girls Water Polo team successfully defended their host tournament title, winning the Sequoia Girls Water Polo Invitational over the weekend by defeating Robert Louis Stevenson High School 6-3. Sequoia advanced to the championship game by defeating Half Moon Bay and Mills in the prelimi-
nary rounds. Against Half Moon Bay, the Cherokees scored 13 times, all within the rst three quarters of the game, and won 13-6. They beat the Vikings 8-6 later on that day. Mills did beat Half Moon Bay 127 later on in the tournament to pick up a win, but they fell to Santa Teresa 11-6. The Cougars also lost to Mercy 10-3.

Nelson wide open in the end zone on the fourth-down touchdown pass to win the game with 14 seconds remaining. Any time you lose, especially in that fashion, its very disappointing, defensive tackle R i c h a r d Seymour said Monday. But one game doesnt make the Richard season. You Seymour move forward. Ive been in many games in my career, and thats one of the most heartbreaking ones Ive had. You move forward, and youve got to get better as a team. holes for the defense than anything else. Alex Smith threw a costly second-half interception and was sacked six times against Dallas, and two-time Pro Bowl running back Frank Gore has run for 106 yards and a touchdown on 42 carries through two games. None of which is the identity Harbaugh wants to bring. We want to be a running team. We want to be a throwing team. We want to be darn-near 50-50 and equally good in both, Harbaugh said. We are in a process, he added. I know everybody wants to solve the debt today. Things will only get tougher when the 49ers play the rst of two straight East Coast road games, The Raiders have little time to mope with three straight games coming up against teams that have started the season 2-0, beginning with the home opener Sunday against the New York Jets. That is followed by a home game against New England and a trip to Houston. The message on Monday from coach Hue Jackson to his players was the same as it was after the game: The Raiders need to nish. You cant take a play off, you cant take an opportunity off, you have to nish everything you do, he said. Its tough in the NFL. We have a good group of men in that locker room who, hopefully, have learned a very valuable lesson that we can learn from this and move forward, that we have to play Raider football all the time. Not just for a Cincinnati (1-1) on Sunday and Philadelphia the following week. They will stay and practice in Youngstown, Ohio, between games. The Niners didnt make that trip any easier. What would have been a signature victory over Dallas and a 2-0 start turned into a miserable morning. Only a few players trickled into the locker room Monday, a scheduled day off, and the ones who were left didnt feel any better after a nights sleep. Center Jonathan Goodwin said he thought about the overtime sack he allowed to Cowboys nose tackle Jay Ratliff all night, a play that stalled the 49ers only drive in overtime. Were not making any excuses, Goodwin said. We didnt get the half, but you have to do it for 60 minutes. The loss featured quite a few notable statistical lows for the Raiders, who according to STATS LLC are the only team since at least 1993 to allow ve touchdowns on ve drives in the second half. The 25 rst downs in the second half by the Bills were the second most since at least 1991 and the Raiders lost a game in which they scored at least 35 points for the rst time since 1988. Thats about the worst one since Ive been here, said defensive tackle Tommy Kelly, who joined the team in 2004. In eight years, we have never been up on anybody 21-3 and lost. We have never been up on anybody 21-3 that many times since Ive been here. We just got to go back to job done, and thats not good. Injuries are also beginning to pile up. Michael Crabtree is still nursing a troublesome left foot and fellow receiver Braylon Edwards injured his right knee on a 21-yard catch in the first quarter. Edwards was scheduled to have an MRI on Monday. Harbaugh indicated that safety Dashon Goldson and cornerback Shawntae Spencer, both starters the in the past, could return to the lineup this week. Goldson has been inactive through two games because of a sore knee and Spencer has had a hamstring strain since training camp. Getting some depth back could be crucial.

Second-half collapse still stings for Raiders

ALAMEDA A cross-country ight and a day to reect did little to ease the pain of a memorable collapse by the Oakland Raiders defense. Giving up ve touchdowns on ve second-half drives can have that effect. The Raiders returned to work Monday still trying to gure out what went wrong in a 38-35 loss to the Buffalo Bills the previous day. There was plenty, especially on the defensive side of the ball. The formidable defensive line was unable to generate a pass rush or stop the run in the second half, the defensive backs struggled in coverage and tackling, and a major miscommunication left David
the drawing board. Its just a real tough pill to swallow. Real tough. The Raiders allowed 217 yards rushing, 264 more through the air and gave up three go-ahead touchdowns in the fourth quarter. The most devastating came in the closing seconds. Chris Johnson, who struggled in coverage all game, had a pass in his hands in the end zone with 27 seconds left before Donald Jones broke up the potential interception. Two plays later on fourth-and-1 from the 6, Nelson broke open over the middle of the eld for the easy touchdown. Johnson, who lined up on Nelson, broke immediately to the at after the snap to cover running back C.J. Spiller. Middle linebacker Rolando McClain also covered Spiller, leaving no one on Nelson. San Francisco has started fast in the rst two games and zzled late, building leads of 16-0 and 14-0 against Seattle and Dallas, respectively. While Ted Ginn Jr.s two kick returns in the fourth quarter saved them against the Seahawks, the 49ers had little to count on when it mattered most against Dallas. Add it to the long list of problems Harbaugh is working to x, even if hes not ready to reveal exactly how he plans to do that. Were trying to solve a lot of issues, Harbaugh said. I know youre trying to solve them right along with us. I dont have a great answer for you right there. A lot of things were looking at to improve ourselves.

Continued from page 11
For a coach known for his offensive ingenuity, Harbaughs offense has shown little imagination. The 49ers (1-1) rank 31st in total offense through two games and have tried to ex their muscles on rare occasions. The only team that ranks worse is Seattle which happens to be the team San Francisco beat in the opener and also plays in the NFC West, by far the leagues worst division last season. Even worse, the same problems that led to Mike Singletary getting red started to resurface. The offensive line created more

Gearing up for Moneyball

OAKLAND Billy Beane considers Moneyball a success for the simple fact Brad Pitt plays Oaklands innovative, volatile general manager. Listen, its Brad doing it, how am I going to complain? Beane quipped Monday. The new movie focuses on the 2002 edition of the small-market Athletics and a thrilling 20-game winning streak. Ultimately, Oakland lost in the rst round of the playoffs. These days, the As are no longer winning, Beane is far from the genius he once was considered to be and he might even be headed to the Cubs to replace Jim Hendry. Pitt was drawn to the film despite his thoughts that economics and sabermetrics are not exactly nail-biting stuff. Beane and Pitt were together again Monday for an outdoor news conference in the outeld at the Coliseum. They spoke ahead of Monday nights premiere at the Paramount Theatre in downtown Oakland. Rangers manager and former Oakland third base coach Ron Washington, in town for a series against the As starting Tuesday night, was scheduled to attend. Washington went elsewhere to reach the World Series, falling short to the San Francisco Giants last fall. Texas is in rst place again. Moneyball, adapted from the 2003 best seller by Michael Lewis detailing Beanes unconventional methods and management style in running a ballclub, opens nationwide Friday.

that, perhaps such specics such as how many years he might seek in a new deal. The 34-year-old Beltran, who joined the defending World Series champion Giants in a July 28 trade from the New York Mets, has said he will think about his next step once he is home for the offseason. Well, you have to remember when Carlos and I sat down to determine what teams he was going to go to, it was his choice, Boras told the Associated Press on Monday night before attending the Moneyball premiere in downtown Oakland. He came to the Giants for a reason. Obviously he has played very well here. He has gotten a chance to get to know the city and the organization. The switch-hitting Beltran told the San Jose Mercury News last week he would like to see San Francisco take steps to upgrade the offense aside from just getting back a healthy catcher Buster Posey and second baseman Freddy Sanchez, both out with season-ending injuries and the parties would be in touch regarding the plan this winter. Addressing the leadoff spot is something else Beltran has noted. Boras also doesnt look at Beltrans next contract as his last, meaning San Francisco could be in the mix even if it makes an offer to Beltran of two or three years.

So good for so long, Rivera has built a Hall of Fame-caliber career and been a pillar of ve World Series championship teams.

I have tremendous respect for Mariano not just for his on-eld accomplishments, but also for his service to the community.

Stewart opens Chase with win

JOLIET, Ill. Tony Stewart took himself out of title contention before the opening race of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. A topsy-turvy season led the two-time NASCAR champion to cross his name off the list of drivers he believes are legitimate title contenders, and nothing he did on track at Chicagoland Speedway changed his mind. That includes winning. Stewart picked up his rst win of the season Monday a day after rain washed out the opening round of the 10race Chase by awlessly conserving fuel to the nish. The victory, his 40th
career win in the Cup Series, tied him with Mark Martin for 16th on the alltime wins list. More importantly, it vaulted him from ninth in the standings to second, and he trails leader Kevin Harvick by a mere seven points. So, Smoke, you sure you arent in the mix for a third NASCAR championship? One day doesnt change the whole season, he said. Stewart, who likely beneted the most from the rain out because he was plagued with a migraine headache all day Sunday, seemed subdued in his victory celebration. Hes had, by his own admission, a rough year, and it was
just last month when he said the No. 14 team didnt even deserve a spot in the Chase. But his Stewart-Haas Racing team has turned it up a notch, evidenced by threestraight top-10 nishes and, on Monday, the end of a 32-race losing streak. Round 2 of the Chase shifts to New Hampshire, where Ryan Newman led a 1-2 nish for SHR in July. So Stewart may not like his title chances, but this recent upswing has crew chief Darian Grubb believing the team is in the mix. Thats Tonys mind-set, Grubb said. We all work too hard to ever come to feeling that way.

Libyan fighters take airport

By Kim Gamel and Rami Al-Shaheibi
TRIPOLI, Libya Facing little resistance, revolutionary ghters captured the airport and other parts of a southern desert city that is one of the last remaining strongholds of Moammar Gadhas forces Monday, even as military offensives stalled to the north. The capture of Sabha would be a welcome victory for Libyas new rulers, who have struggled to rout forces loyal to Gadha a month after sweeping into Tripoli and forcing the ousted leader into hiding. He has not been found. A push to capture Gadhas hometown of Sirte and the mountain enclave of Bani Walid has stalled as well-armed forces loyal to the fugitive leader ght back ercely with rockets and other heavy weaponry. Libyas new rulers have frequently claimed gains only to nd their forces beaten back. A force of three southern brigades pushed its way into Sabha, deep in the Sahara Desert, on Monday. Our ags are waving there over the airport and other parts of Sabha, Col. Ahmed Bani, the military spokesman for the transitional government, told reporters in Tripoli. The airport is about four miles from the center of Sabha, 400 miles (650 kilometers) south of Tripoli. Hassan Moussa Tabawi, a spokesman of three southern brigades that led the takeover
of Sabha, told the Associated Press that revolutionary forces have control of most of the city but still face pockets of resistance in a few central neighborhoods occupied by Gadha loyalists and Gadhadhfa tribe. The airport is totally secure and many residential neighborhoods have raised the liberation ag, he said in a telephone interview from Sabha. The two sides clashed on Sunday night, but he said the anti-Gadha ghters planned to take the rest of the city on Tuesday morning. Before the arrival of the new governments forces, he said, Sabha residents tried to rise up several times over the past seven months but were besieged by Gadha troops. People were very happy to see us, Tabawi said. Salam Kara, the Benghazi-based spokesman for Sabhas local council, said revolutionary forces also seized an old fort as well as a convention center and a hospital inside the city. It is a great achievement by the rebels from all over the south and led by the rebels from inside of Sabha, he said. The resistance is not strong because Sabhas rebels have been holding protests for a long time and just needed help from outside. Revolutionary forces have been sweeping through isolated towns in the rocky wasteland south of the Mediterranean coastal area where most of Libyas more than 6 million population live, in a bid to establish complete control. Sabha could become a rallying point.
WASHINGTON The military says it is ready for the lifting Tuesday of a ban on gays serving openly, while supporters of repeal applaud the historic change as a victory for equal rights. Pentagon press secretary George Little said Monday that the military is adequately prepared for the end of the current policy, commonly known as dont ask, dont tell, under which gays can serve as long as they dont openly acknowledge their sexual orientation and commanders are not allowed to ask. No one should be left with the impression that we are unprepared. We are prepared for repeal, Little said. Last week, the Pentagon said 97 percent of the military has undergone training in the new law. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, Joint Chiefs chairman Adm. Mike Mullen, and President Barack Obama have all certied that allowing openly gay service members will not
undermine the effectiveness of the military or its recruiting. Repeal will take effect at 12:01 a.m. EDT Tuesday. For weeks the military services have been accepting applications from openly gay recruits, while waiting for repeal to take effect before processing the applications. As soon as the ban is lifted, the Defense Department will publish revised regulations to reect the new law that will allow gays to serve openly. The revisions, such as eliminating references to banned homosexual service, are in line with policy guidance that was issued by top Pentagon ofcials in January, after Obama signed the legislation that did away with the dont ask, dont tell policy. The lifting of the 18-year-old ban also will mean a halt to all pending investigations, discharges and other administrative proceedings that were begun under the Clinton-era law. Existing standards of personal conduct, such as those pertaining to public displays of affection, will continue regardless of sexual orientation.
Ten dead in air crash shared love of aviation

RENO, Nev. They came from every corner to the Nevada desert to watch the nations premier air race, a daring competition between speed-hungry pilots that pushed the limits of safety. They all had one thing in common: a deep affection for aviation. One was a wheelchair-bound recent college graduate who was thrilled to be at the races.
Another was a former airline pilot who owned a vintage airplane. Still another was at his rst race, attending at the urging of his father and brother. They were among the 10 people who died when one of the planes in the race, a WWIIera P-51 Mustang ghter plane called The Galloping Ghost, plunged into the VIP section. The 74-year-old stunt pilot also died in the nations deadliest air racing disaster.

Palestinians will submit U.N. membership letter
UNITED NATIONS The Palestinians brushed aside heated Israeli objections and a promised U.S. veto Monday, vowing to submit a letter formally requesting full U.N. membership when Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas addresses the General Assembly. As the Palestinians edged closer to seeking statehood recognition from the United Nations, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for Abbas to meet with him in New York. The Israel leader said he wanted to resume peace talks, upping the pressure on Abbas and building on the frenzied diplomacy swirling around the Palestinians bid. Regardless, Abbas said he had not been swayed by what he called tremendous pressure to drop the bid for United Nations recognition and instead to resume peace talks with Israel. Senior aides to the Palestinian leader said Abbas was undaunted by threats of punitive measures. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said, however, there was still time to nd a solution to the diplomatic crisis.
Yemen protesters storm base;50 die

Bomber targets Pakistani policeman; eight dead

KARACHI, Pakistan A Taliban suicide bomber detonated a vehicle packed with explosives Monday outside the home of a senior police ofcer tasked with cracking down on militants in Pakistans largest city. The blast killed at least eight people and left a crater 10 feet (3 meters) deep, police said. The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the early morning attack in the southern port city of Karachi. The target of the bombing, Chaudhry Aslam, escaped unscathed and said he would not be cowed by the attack. This is a cowardly act, Aslam told local television. Im not scared. I will not spare them. Aslam is a top police ofcer in the Crime Investigation Department, which works to arrest Taliban ghters and other militants in Karachi, a bustling city that is home to some 18 million people and is also Pakistans main commercial hub.
SANAA, Yemen Thousands of protesters backed by military defectors seized a base of the elite Republican Guards on Monday, weakening the control of Yemens embattled president over this poor, fractured Arab nation. His forces fired on unarmed demonstrators elsewhere in the capital, killing scores, wounding hundreds and sparking international condemnation. The protesters, joined by soldiers from the renegade 1st Armored Division, stormed the base without ring a single shot, according to witnesses and security officials. Some carried sticks and rocks. They used sandbags to erect barricades to protect their comrades from the possibility of weapons re from inside the base, but none came and the Republican Guards eventually ed, leaving their weapons behind. Although the base was not particularly large the Republican Guards have bigger ones in the capital and elsewhere in Yemen its capture buoyed the protesters spirits and signaled what could be the start of the collapse of President Ali Abdullah Salehs 33-year-old regime. It was unbelievable, said protester Ameen Ali Saleh of storming the base on the west side of the major al-Zubairy road, which runs through the heart of Sanaa. We acted like it was us who had the weapons, not the soldiers.

Anti-government protesters carry a fellow protester injured during clashes with security forces in Sanaa,Yemen.
Now the remainder of the regime will nally crumble, said another demonstrator, Mohammed alWasaby. Our will is more effective than weapons. The soldiers loyal to Saleh just ran away. As clashes continued into the night, several loud explosions rocked Sanaa, and a mortar hit the Islamic University of Al-Iman, killing one and injuring two others. The cause of the explosions was not known. Saleh went to Saudi Arabia for medical treatment after a June attack on his Sanaa compound and has not returned to Yemen, but has resisted calls to resign. A nal showdown may well pit the Republican Guards, led by Salehs son and heir apparent Ahmed, against the soldiers of the 1st Armored Division, another elite outfit that has fought in all of Yemens wars over the past two decades, and their tribal allies in the capital. The Republican Guards and the Special Forces, also led by the presidents son, have long been thought to be the regimes last line of defense against the seven-monthold uprising.
Earthquakes rock Guatemala, one confirmed dead

GUATEMALA CITY Four earthquakes struck the southeastern part of Guatemala in less than two hours Monday afternoon, causing at least one death, authorities said. At least three people were reported missing. President Alvaro Colom urged calm after the temblors were felt across much of the Central American country, the largest a 5.8
magnitude. All were centered in an area about 30 miles (51 kilometers) southeast of the capital, Guatemala City, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. There is no reason to think there will be anything bigger, Colom said at a news conference. He said all rescue forces and government agencies had been activated to deal with the aftermath. A 38-year-old woman died when
a wall collapsed in her house in Cuilapa, the epicenter and one of the areas most effected, said Mariano Laz, spokesman for the local Volunteer Fire Department. Colom said there were at least three people missing and others injured, though he didnt say how many or in what locations. Besides Cuilapa, the areas of Santa Maria Inhuatan and Oratorio were most affected, Guatemalas seismology institute said. Public
buildings were evacuated and school classes canceled. The quakes also caused landslides along the main highway to El Salvador, and at least one car was buried, authorities said. The largest quake hit about 12:34 local time, a half hour after a 4.8magnitude temblor. Another 4.8magnitude quake hit at about 1:20 p.m. A fourth of 4.5-magnitude was reported in an area south of the others at 2:30 p.m.

Tracking of diseases improves diagnosis

By Lauran Neergaard
WASHINGTON The doctor doesnt think your sore throat is bad enough yet to order a strep test unaware that a dozen people across town were diagnosed with strep throat just last week. Doctors rarely know what bugs are brewing in the neighborhood until their own waiting rooms start to fill. Harvard University researchers report Monday that getting them real-time information on nearby infections could improve patient care for strep throat alone, potentially helping tens of thousands avoid either a delayed diagnosis or getting antibiotics they didnt need. The risk you have is based on where you live and what the people around you have, explains Dr. Kenneth Mandl of Childrens Hospital Boston, affiliated with Harvard. His analysis of 82,000 patient visits found that knowing how much strep throat is circulating can help improve the accuracy of the next patients diagnosis. Today, hundreds of hospitals, clinics and health departments automatically report certain symptoms and diagnoses to the government. That practice has a wonky name biosurveillance but its how officials track the spread of flu, detect the latest whooping cough outbreak, and watch for weird symptoms that might signal a brand-new disease or even bioterrorism. But until theres an outbreak, that information is a one-way street. Theres no easy way for doctors to learn what their colleagues nearby diagnosing. Instead, doctors often call the health department to ask if anyones heard of a case of this or that disease as they puzzle over a
Someone with just a sore throat and fever usually wouldnt get tested but if the strep germ is prevalent in their community,testing could spot 62,000 previously missed patients nationally,the researchers calculated.
patients symptoms, says Dr. Alfred DeMaria of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Giving doctors a fast, ongoing snapshot of disease would be very helpful, says DeMaria, who wasnt involved in Mandls research but praises the approach. The key is to make the system entirely automated and real-time. Work is beginning on technology to do just that, trying to link local biosurveillance to electronic health records, maybe even mobile apps. First, the question is whether such tracking could make a real difference. So Mandl and his colleague Dr. Andrew Fine, an emergency medicine physician, examined strep throat, an infection frequently misdiagnosed in adults. Because strep throat is more common in young children, those with red, sore throats are given either a while-you-wait rapid test or, because that test sometimes misses the bug, a throat culture that can take a day or two for results. For anyone 15 or older, guidelines say doctors shouldnt order a test or prescribe antibiotics unless sore-throat sufferers rise to a certain level of suspicion because of other symptoms: fever, enlarged lymph nodes, tonsils with swelling or pus, and a lack of coughing. People with none or just one of those symptoms probably have a virus and are supposed to be sent home. A patient with a lot of those symptoms often are given antibiotics automatically, and those in between get tested. Mandl and Fine turned to records from CVS MinuteClinics in six states where all sore-throat patients are tested and symptoms are recorded. What the govern-
ment-funded study found: Knowing how prevalent strep is in a particular area is a strong enough predictor to count as an extra symptom in the test-or-treat decision. In other words, if little strep throat is circulating, the chances that someone with several strep symptoms really has it drops enough that its worth testing them before prescribing antibiotics. Considering there are 10.5 million annual health-care visits for suspected strep throat, that change could prevent unnecessary antibiotics for more than 166,000 patients, the researchers reported. On the flip side, someone with just a sore throat and fever usually wouldnt get tested but if the strep germ is prevalent in their community, testing could spot 62,000 previously missed patients nationally, the researchers calculated. Their study appears Monday in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine. Strep isnt the only example. In smaller studies, Mandl and Fine have found that knowing how much whooping cough and bacterial meningitis are spreading locally can improve diagnosis of those diseases, too. The challenge is how to disseminate such information fast enough for doctors to use. MinuteClinic, for example, says it doesnt record test results in real time yet but may be able to share that kind of data in the future. Broadening the concept, federal health officials are working to create an easy-to-use Web tool that would let doctors search for local surveillance information. They also are testing how to automatically send alerts about disease outbreaks to the electronic health records of patients with similar symptoms.

Study: Whooping cough vaccination fades in three years

ATLANTA The whooping cough vaccine given to babies and toddlers loses much of its effectiveness after just three years a lot faster than doctors believed and that could help explain a recent series of outbreaks in the U.S. among children who were fully vaccinated, a study suggests. The study is small and preliminary, and its authors said the results need to be confirmed through more research. Nevertheless, the ndings are likely to stir debate over whether children should get a booster shot earlier than now recommended. I was disturbed to nd maybe we had a little more condence in the vaccine than it might deserve, said the lead researcher, Dr. David Witt, chief of infectious disease at the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in San Rafael, Calif. Witt presented his ndings Monday at the American Society for Microbiology conference in Chicago. The study was done in California, where whooping cough vaccinations are a hot-button issue. The state had a huge spike in whooping cough cases last year, during which more than 9,100 people fell ill and 10 babies died. California schools have turned away thousands of middle and high school students this fall who havent gotten their booster shot. Government health ofcials recommend that children get vaccinated against whooping cough in ve doses, with the rst shot at age 2 months and the nal one between 4 and 6 years. Then youngsters are supposed to get a booster shot around 11 or 12. That means a gap of ve to eight years. Witts study looked at roughly 15,000 children in Marin County, Calif., including 132 who got whooping cough last year. He found that youngsters who had gone three years or more since the last of their ve original shots were as much as 20 times more likely to become infected than children who had been more recently vaccinated. The largest number of cases was in children 8 to 12 years old. Whooping cough, or pertussis, is a highly contagious bacterial disease that in rare cases can be fatal. It leads to severe coughing that causes children to make a distinctive whooping sound as they gasp for breath. Marin County has a reputation for anti-vaccine sentiment, and Witt said that when he started the study he expected to see the illness concentrated in unvaccinated people. But more than 80 percent of the children who developed whooping cough in Witts study were fully vaccinated. California health ofcials told doctors last year that they could give the booster to kids as young as 7 in an effort to stie the outbreak. Federal health ofcials said that they are still studying the issue and that it is too soon to make that a standard practice. At the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which makes recommendations on childhood shots, officials acknowledged that the vaccines protection declines, but they said the agencys own studies show the drop-off is not as pronounced as Witts research found. The CDC has estimated that the risk of the disease can increase fourfold several years after vaccination, not 10 to 20 times. One reason may be differences in how a case of whooping cough is dened: Witt counted positive test results, while the CDC also requires more than a week of symptoms.

U.K.surgeons separate twin girls joined at head

By Raphael G. Satter
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON Sudanese twins born with the tops of their heads joined together have been separated in a rare and risky series of operations at a London childrens hospital, officials said Sunday. Facing the World, a charity which helps disfigured children, said it had helped fund the four-stage operation on 11month-olds Rital and Ritag Gaboura. Twins born joined at the head are known as craniopagus twins and they occur in about one in 2.5 million births. Separating them can be dangerous, especially if as in this case theres significant blood flow between their brains. Its extremely high-risk, said Dr. James Goodrich, who coordinated a similar separation of conjoined twins at New Yorks Montefiore Childrens Hospital in 2004. But the alternative can be just as bad. Because conjoined twins almost never pump the blood across their bodies evenly, the strongest sibling strains his or her heart trying to pick up the slack. Facing the World said that Ritags overworked heart was already failing by the time her family arrived in Britain. The charity said that the separation took place in stages at Londons Great Ormond Street Hospital. Two operations took place in May. Tissue expanders essentially balloons intended to help stretch the babies skin over their newly exposed heads were inserted in July. The final separation took place on Aug. 15. Incidences of surviving twins with this condition is extremely rare, lead surgeon David Dunaway said in a statement released by the charity. The task presented innumerable challenges and we were all very aware of our responsibilities to the family and these two little girls. The charity released before and after photographs of the twins. The before photo showed the two sprawled out on a bed, with their heads joined just above the hairline to form what appeared to be a single, solid unit. The after photograph showed both side-by-side looking alert and healthy, clutching white stuffed animals. Although rare, operations to separate twins linked by their heads arent unheard of. The U.S. National Library of Medicine records that one of the first successful operations to separate craniopagus twins took place in 1956. In 2003, surgeons in Dallas separated 2-year-old Egyptian twins joined at the head, and a year later Goodrich was one of a team of doctors which separated Filipino twins in four major surgeries that took place over 10 months. Even successful operations can leave neurological damage, although that didnt immediately appear to be the case with Rital and Ritag. Within days the twins were back on the general ward interacting and playing as before, the charity said. Its executive coordinator, Sarah Driver-Jowitt, predicted that the girls parents who havent been named may soon return home with two healthy, separate girls. Goodrich agreed. So far the results have been exceptional, he said. I think both kids will do quite well.

Child abuse rose during recession, research says

By Lindsey Tanner
CHICAGO An increase in child abuse, mostly in infants, is linked with the recent recession in new research that raises fresh concerns about the impact of the nations economic woes. The results are in a study of 422 abused children from mostly lower-income families, known to face greater risks for being abused, and the research involved just 74 counties in four states. But lead author Dr. Rachel Berger of Childrens Hospital of Pittsburgh said the results conrm anecdotal reports from many pediatricians whove seen increasing numbers of shaken baby cases and other forms of
brain-injuring abuse. Berger decided to study this type of injury, known as abusive head trauma, after noticing an increase at her own hospital from late 2007 through June 2009. Her hospital averaged 30 cases per year during those recession years versus 17 yearly before 2007. Though this abuse is still uncommon, the number of cases in the counties studied increased sharply, rising from about 9 cases per 100,000 children in pre-recession years, to almost 15 per 100,000 kids during the recession a 65 percent increase. By contrast, juvenile diabetes a betterknown condition affects about 19 per 100,000 children younger than age 10. Children studied were younger than 5, and against fatal disease, said Dr. Tom Clark, who leads the CDCs epidemiology team focused on vaccine-preventable diseases. Versions of the vaccine are made by two companies Sanofi Pasteur and GlaxoSmithKline. The companies have acknowledged that the immunity conferred by the vaccine wanes over time, but they declined to comment on Witts study. The type of vaccine given in the U.S. has been in use since the late 1990s. It is typically administered in a combination shot that also protects against tetanus and diphtheria. Nearly every state requires children to get the full
most were infants. Most suffered brain damage and 69 died, though the death rate didnt rise during the recession. Unemployment rates in the 74 counties rose during the ve-year study. The proportion of children on Medicaid in those counties also increased, from 77 percent before the recession to 83 percent. However, insurance and family employment information were not reported for the abused children in the study. Combine the stress of raising a young child with wage cuts or lost jobs and you get a sort of toxic brew in terms of thinking about possible physical violence, said Mark Rank, a social welfare professor at Washington University in St. Louis. He said the study echoes sociological research linking violence series of shots before enrolling in school. Periodic outbreaks still occur in places with high vaccination rates. The short-term effectiveness of the vaccine has been shown to be 90 percent or higher in the rst couple of years. The long-term effectiveness is not well understood, but researchers thought it was more than three years. A preliminary study conducted by the CDC last year found the ve-dose vaccination for children was about 70 percent effective ve years after the last shot. Witts research suggests the effectiveness may drop much lower
with declines in economic well-being. Along with U.S. Census data released last week indicating that a record 46 million Americans are poor, the study shows that as poverty goes up and economic stagnation continues...there are really human costs involved, Rank said. The study was released online Monday in Pediatrics. The counties studied included Pittsburgh and western Pennsylvania; central and southern Ohio; and a handful of counties in northern Kentucky and in the Seattle area. The researchers examined medical records and national labor statistics for 2004 through November 2007 and compared them with data from the recession. than that, perhaps below 50 percent after just three years. Witt also found that shots work great in the short term. Rates of whooping cough dropped dramatically after kids were age 11 and 12, when many get the booster shot. The long-term effectiveness of that booster also is not known and has received relatively little study. Health ofcials are also discussing whether additional boosters may one day be recommended for teenagers or adults. Its a little too soon to say much about the longer-term effectiveness of that booster, said Lara Misegades, a CDC epidemiologist.
COUGH
CDC ofcials stressed that the vaccination is still much better than nothing it reduces how sick a child becomes. Also, the nation no longer sees thousands of whooping cough deaths each year, as it did before there was a vaccine. The shots are still our best protection against pertussis, and they still protect well

LOS ANGELES Former Two and a Half Men star Charlie Sheen and the studio that fired him are drawing closer to a deal to end their legal dispute. According to a person familiar with the talks, Sheen and Warner Bros. were near an agreement but still at work on it Monday. The person was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. Calls to Sheens attorney were not returned. In a statement, the studio said no deal had been reached and declined further comment. Sheen filed a $100 million lawsuit for wrongful termination against Warner after his firing, which followed bitter public tirades directed at the studio and the shows executive producer. A judge ordered arbitration in the case, with a status report set for December. The Los Angeles Times reported that final touches are being put on a deal that would give Sheen about $25 million to settle out of his contract. Sheen was the highest-paid actor in television, with a per-episode salary reported to be between $1.2 million to $2 million. His clash with producers cut short
last season for the CBS series that is TVs highest-rated comedy. Two and a Half Men returned to the air Monday with Ashton Kutcher joining the cast as a new character. He plays an Internet billionaire who decides to buy the house that had been owned by Sheens now-deceased character. In a recent turnaround, Sheen has been making conciliatory gestures toward his former show. Appearing at Sundays Emmy Awards as a presenter, he addressed the Two and a Half Men cast and crew, saying, I wish you nothing but the best for this upcoming season. In an interview with Matt Lauer on Today last week, the actor known for his hard-partying life said he didnt k n o w how to put out the fire when he was fired and began a manic round of media appearances talking about tiger blood and winning.
Chaz Bono overcomes shyness,controversy to dance

By Sandy Cohen
LOS ANGELES Chaz Bono is dancing right past the controversy surrounding his casting on Dancing With the Stars and hes not even the dancing type. I like it, but Im kind of an introvert, he said from the nondescript dance studio where he has been rehearsing for the hit ABC show for up to ve hours a day. My natural tendency is to go in, not show off. I get embarrassed really easily, which is something you have to get over on this show. Bono will be over it by Monday night, when he and 11 other celebrities, including actors, TV personalities, and sports stars, will make their ballroom
debut on the season premiere of Dancing With the Stars. Of the 11, Bono may be the most controversial: As the shows rst transgender contestant, the 42-year-old author Chaz Bono and activist has been the subject of hateful blog posts by some viewers and conservative media groups. Some have even called for a Dancing boycott. But other groups, such as the Transgender Law Center and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, have lauded his casting and urged their members to support Bonos I couldnt see a face, just shadows, Ramirez told the Daily Journal yesterday. Another neighbor, who was fearful to identify himself, also witnessed the victims running from the shooter. I never saw the boys before in my life, he said. He heard three shots ring out, then a pause for about 10 seconds, then more gunre. He assumed the shooting was related to rival gangs. Ramirez said the neighborhood is relatively safe but has concerns now after Sundays homicide. A lot of parents, they both have to work and maybe they didnt know what was going on with their kids, she said. In recent months, Ramirez said, the neighborhood has seen an increase in the number of youths smoking marijuana on the street. Most crime in the area, she said, is usually nonviolent. Sunday nights incident was not near the triple homicide in December. That incident happened in Old Town, on the east side of Grand Avenue. Sundays incident was on the west side of Grand Avenue, several blocks from downtown. After last Decembers triple homicide, the South San Francisco Police Department hired four new ofcers to form a neighborhood response team unit to combat youth and gang violence in
appearance on the show. Meanwhile, he and professional partner Lacey Schwimmer are too focused on their cha-cha to listen to all the chatter and theyre condent that once the show begins, the controversy will fade as quickly as its requisite spray tans. I feel like if people who are on the fence just watch the show, I think theyre going to feel comfortable with me pretty soon, said Bono, wearing double knee braces under his long basketball shorts. Im a really kind of regular guy. I think Im a pretty nice guy. My heart is in the right place and I think if people just watch, theyll see that. The last contestant to perform Monday night, Bono earned 17 points out of 30 for their routine, which judges praised as joyous. the neighborhoods that circle downtown. This shooting and homicide is a tragic reminder of the hard work that remains to be done, and the city of South San Francisco will not rest until we have a community free of violence, Mayor Kevin Mullin wrote in a statement yesterday. He offered his deepest sympathies to the families of Sunday nights incident. Mullin said the city has made great strides to combat gang problems since December. The city ... has moved aggressively since the multiple shooting deaths in 2010 to address the challenges of gang and youth violence ... Yet more must and will be done to address the root causes of the violence and to create a safer community now and in the future, Mullin wrote in the statement. Police are in the preliminary stages of the investigation and are asking for the publics help with any information regarding this case. Information can be provided to the South San Francisco Police Department in person, on the business telephone number (650) 8778900 or on an anonymous TIP telephone number (650) 952-2244.
Bill Silverfarb can be reached by email: silverfarb@smdailyjournal.com or by phone: (650) 344-5200 ext. 106.
SHOOTING
San Francisco police Sgt. Joni Lee. At least 15 to 20 shots were red during the incident, Lee said. Police are looking for at least two Hispanic men, between 18 and 20 years old, who were seen driving in the area at the time of the shooting in a black Honda Accord or Civic, according to police. Those in the car were wearing dark-colored clothing with hoodies and one was wearing a white beanie. It is unknown if this vehicle is involved in the shooting, according to police. Yesterday afternoon, residents in the area gathered where the two boys were found shot, some of who witnessed the suspects eeing the scene. Alma Ramirez pointed out where at least seven bullets related to Sunday nights shooting entered two different homes on First Lane. She was also quick to point out blood stains on the street and sidewalk. When I heard the shots, my rst instinct was to protect my family, said Ramirez, who is married with a young daughter. She saw a man chasing the teen in an alley between two homes on First Lane that connects to Railroad Avenue.

TUESDAY, SEPT. 20, 2011 VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Even though neither you nor a pal would want to take advantage of the other, doing business with a friend is not such a good idea. Unintended consequences could occur. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Do not allow your desires and expectations to exceed your reach. If your objectives are far beyond your capabilities, the disappointment you would experience could be mammoth. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Obstacles you encounter on your path are likely to be of your own making, things that you failed to clear out in the past. Unfortunately, life has a way of catching up with us.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Unless you are on
your toes, you could manipulate yourself into feeling forced to take a position that opposes the majority. You wont like being out of step. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Go it alone if possible, because you are likely to be far more successful in your independent endeavors than you will in involvements that require a collective effort. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Unpleasant tasks could be made even more distasteful if you approach them with a negative attitude. Try to take chores in stride, and be proud of what you can accomplish. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Its important to maintain control over all-important personal matters,
because things could quickly go astray in situations where you have to delegate assignments to others. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Even if youre not in the mood to put up with nonsense, it behooves you to pamper people, or at the very least, to refrain from challenging them regardless of how differently you think or feel. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Youve heard it before: If you dont have anything nice to say about somebody, dont say anything at all. Regardless of how well intended it is, criticism will be resented. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You being a bit of a risktaker to begin with, this trait might be emphasized to your detriment if youre not careful. Be extra cautious
and dont take chances where you shouldnt. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- There is nothing wrong with being a bit protective of your own interests, but take caution not to be so in ways that others find offensive. Theyre apt to take countermeasures against you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You shouldnt allow others to palm off their responsibilities onto you. If you give an inch, theyre likely to take several feet. COPYRIGHT 2011, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

Companies agree to pay $44.4M for Bay spill

By Paul Elias
SAN FRANCISCO Companies responsible for a 2007 San Francisco Bay oil spill that occurred when a ship slammed into a bridge agreed Monday to pay $44.4 million toward the cleanup and damage to the environment, including the deaths of thousands of birds. The proposed settlement is the final chap-
ter in the nearly four-year legal saga involving lawsuits against Regal Stone Ltd., which owned the ship that hit the San FranciscoOakland Bay Bridge on Nov. 7, 2007, and Fleet Management Ltd., which operated it. The deal still requires approval by a federal judge after a 30-day public comment period. This settlement resolves all claims, said Assistant Attorney General Ignacia Moreno, the Department of Justices highest-ranking There were ghts in the early days just to get one bike on a train, he said. Now, Caltrain has about 48,000 riders a day and has whole cars dedicated to accommodating bicyclists. Caltrain was once characterized as a service for bankers in Atherton to get into the city quickly, he said. His job, more than 20 years ago, was to show what the service could be. He is excited about Caltrains future, especially how it relates to all of the transportation projects San Francisco is currently taking on. Imagine being able to hop on a Caltrain and then access Crissy Field, for instance, in a near seamless trip, he said. The Transbay Terminal in San Francisco, a $4.5 billion project, should help the Bay Area connect in ways it never has, he said. helped search for Michelle. Tonight, our family has been notied that this weekend, we have found Michelle, Dinh said in an e-mail. Please continue praying for and supporting Michelle as our family begins the journey to ensure justice in her honor. The former friend, Giselle Esteban, 27, knew Le in high school in San Diego and was arrested earlier this month and charged with murder. She has not yet entered a plea. charges of premeditated attempted murder, felony assault with a knife and felony assault with a stun gun. She did not enter a plea and returns to court Oct. 4. Meanwhile, she remains in custody without bail.
environmental prosecutor. What you are seeing here ... is finality. Moreno said the settlement is the largest of its kind, resolving a lawsuit filed under the 1990 Oil Pollution Act passed after the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska. Several lawsuits were filed under the act against BP following the massive 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill off the Gulf Coast. With San Francisco Bay serving as a He imagines that one day all of the Bay Areas transportation agencies will operate in a more cooperative manner than they currently do because of funding. There has never been a deep enough crisis to do anything about it, Nolan said regarding the regionalization of transportation agencies. Agencies can buy fuel under joint agreements or consolidate maintenance services, he said. There are more opportunities for regionalization. Efciencies can be achieved, he said. We are, after all, living in a region. He told Caltrains Chief Executive Ofcer Mike Scanlon upon rejoining the board that he would whip him into shape. His wife said, good luck, Ive been trying that for years, Nolan said. Prosecutors believe Esteban, who is pregnant, attacked Le in the parking garage of the hospital where Le was doing a clinical rotation. Police later found Les Honda SUV a half-mile away. At the time of her May 27 disappearance, Le was working on a bachelors degree program at Samuel Merritt University in Oakland, combining classroom work with clinical training. Wenke and her husband, with whom she has an 8-year-old child, are in the midst of an ugly divorce, Wagstaffe said. If convicted, she faces seven years to life in prison because of the premeditation allegation.
backdrop on a clear, sunny day, the settlement in the California case was announced on Treasure Island by U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, California Attorney General Kamala Harris and other officials. With this settlement, we are seeing to it that those responsible for the spill are held accountable and that they pay their share for restoring and improving our precious natural resources and public lands, Salazar said. Originally from Roanoke, Va., Nolan moved to San Francisco with his partner back in 1979, who he has been with for 34 years. He took a job in San Mateo in the early 1980s, then moved to Menlo Park. He was rst elected to the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors in 1984 and ran unsuccessfully for Congress in 1992, losing to Anna Eshoo, who still holds the seat. He is not interested, however, in running for public ofce again. The JPB has nine members, with three representatives from each county that supports it. The JPB meets the rst Thursday of each month at 10 a.m. at 1250 San Carlos Ave., San Carlos, two blocks from the train station. For more information about the board or for other Caltrain information visit www.caltrain.com. Her family said Le decided to go into nursing because she wanted to follow in the footsteps of her mother. University spokeswoman Elizabeth Valente has described the young woman as a ray of sunshine with a thirst for knowledge and a passion for nursing. She was well-liked on campus, Valente, said. Her husband remains hospitalized with injuries to his lung, neck and chest.

NOLAN
There is a new goal, though, to nd a dedicated funding stream for the agency, which relies on contributions from the three counties that own it, Nolan said. Caltrain suffers from a $30 million ongoing structural decit and has bridged the decit with one-time xes in recent years. Each county is as generous as they can be, Nolan said. He chaired the Caltrain board from 1987 to 1992 when ridership was just about 18,000 a day and bicyclists were essentially kept off the trains.
