Call it signs of progress.
Three months after the Palo Alto Medical
Foundation broke ground on the San Carlos
site of its future clinic, the medical group is
asking the city to approve permanent and tem-
porary signs.
While the signs are not as signicant a proj-
ect milestone as, say, getting the walls up for
the clinic and parking structure at 301
Industrial Road, the signs are a step toward
getting long-awaited construction off the
ground.
The request coming before the San Carlos
Planning Commission seeks a total of 27 per-
manent freeway-oriented and directional
signs and a use permit for 1,888 square feet of
temporary construction signs.
The proposed signs add a thematic and
high quality aspect to the project because the
materials and design include stone that match-
es the buildings and bronze accents that match
the window elements, according to the staff
report by Assistant Planner Gavin Moynahan.
The temporary signs will include the
PAMF name and coming soon or future
site of. They must be removed within 30 days
of the hospitals opening.
Construction will happen in two phases,
with the rst outpatient medical clinic and
parking structure anticipated to take approxi-
mately two years to complete.
The plan for a new medical center began
more than a decade ago and the city approved
the project in 2007 with hopes of completion
in 2012. In March 2009, however, Sutter

A former Genentech employee who claims she was pushed
out of the biotech company after complaining about a cowork-
ers bullying and harassment based on her national origin and
Muslim faith is suing for $4.1 million.
In a lawsuit led Thursday, Nadia Noorzai claims her
requests of human resources and management for help were
met with advice to chill out and have a vodka, unpaid med-

workspace moved immediately next to the woman she claims

Sixteen-year-old Chris Ho wasnt sure
what to expect when he started his
internship at LifeScan, Inc. in Milpitas
this summer.
The junior at Aragon High School
wasnt entering his rst job, per se. He
was, however, walking into a more pro-
fessional environment. Those transition-
ing from a casual into a professional
environment at any age have questions:
What is the required dress code? Will
people be willing to answer questions?
Ho, who started back to school this
week, got some answers this summer but
also insight into job possibilities while
participating in Bridge to Employment
Silicon Valley, which helps high school
students understand the connection to
lessons in the classroom and jobs in the
real world. Known as BTE, Bridge to
Employment partners local affiliates
with one or more school, a college and
an intermediary organization. Local stu-
dents are given the exibility to explore
positions in health care which often
expands their knowledge of options
available.

Ever wondered why national hot dog
month is in July?
The answer is simple: San Mateo resi-
dent Rita Gilmore made it so. It was an
advertising tactic created years ago
while she was running the New York
Edelman ofce. In the days depicted in
AMCs popular Mad Men series,
Gilmore was among the few female
advertising leaders in New York City
running the show. Today, the 86-year-
old, who has never seen the television
show depicting the male-dominated
world in which she succeeded, is still
actively in the travel business. Quick
with information and full of tales that
include famous names, Gilmore is also a
fan of email she replies to them faster
than the average person to whom this
reporter reaches out.
Recently, Gilmore reconnected with
her Edelman roots in San Mateo.
About six months ago, Gilmore decid-
ed to look up the local Edelman ofce.

S
an Francisco was the main driving
force in Northern California in the
late 1840s and 50s. Gold had
changed the direction of the people and the
government. There had been only a few peo-
ple in the 1830s, but now tens of thousands
of people seeking shelter, food, protection
and a way to idle their time away while wait-
ing for a trip to the gold elds.
It was a time of chaos. The establishment
of a new state in 1850 did little to alleviate
the strain of overcrowding, inadequate hous-
ing and lack of organized direction of the
city. The gamblers, thieves, thrill seekers and
opportunists became rampant. It was no
place for good, law-abiding citizens.
Vigilante committees were not the answer to
crime as a vigilante group was, in essence, a
group making up its own laws as things
developed. Many people wanted stability, law
and a good place to live. But how was this to
be straightened out for the few thousand citi-
zens who lived south of the mainstream of
activity in San Francisco? At this time, three
centers of organization and people were con-
centrated in the area south of San Francisco:
Daly Citys Top of the Hill, Belmont and the
area around which the population was con-
centrated at Woodside, Tripps Grocery
Store. Former governor John McDougal
resided in Belmont and was responsible for
helping establish the county line. Many
ignored the situation, but others thought a
separate county, away from San Franciscos
troubles, was the answer. But it was not a
simple thing to accomplish, as much of the
government was run by the opportunists from
whom people wanted to get away.
Billy Mulligan was an Irishman who was
feared by all due to his bullying tactics. A
short, 5-foot, ferret-faced, 120-pound charac-
ter who was a prizeghter and gambler and
whose friends were more savory than he.
Mulligans art of ballot-stufng was perfect-
ed while residing in New York. His friend,
Chris Lilly, owned the notorious Abby House
at the Top of the Hill (later Daly City)
where Lilly was in control of everything and
everybody around the area. He wanted the
Abby House in a new county because he
knew the laws in San Francisco would shut
his business down. Lilly was not deterred by
morals and Mulligan was a perfect partner
for him. Things had gotten hot in San
Francisco for the gamblers and crooked
politicians.
In January 1856, Assemblyman Horace
Hawes introduced a bill that would consoli-
date and separate the government of San
Francisco and that of the area south of San
Francisco. He did not advocate a new county,
but another bill was combined that resulted
in a vote for the creation of a 449-square-
mile San Mateo County out of San Francisco
County (which began at the tip of the
Peninsula and ended at San Francisquito
Creek in Palo Alto.

The San Mateo County Sheriffs Office
has released more information about finding
an accused sex offender Saturday in San
Francisco who had earlier escaped from a
mental health facility in unincorporated
Redwood City.
Derrick Sanders, 34, was reported missing
from the Cordilleras Mental Health Facility
at 200 Edmonds Road around 4 a.m. Friday,
said San Mateo County sheriffs Lt. Larry
Schumaker.
Sanders appears to have made his escape
through an elevator shaft.
Around 9 a.m. Saturday morning someone
in San Franciscos Fishermans Wharf
noticed a man panhandling near Beach and
Powell streets who looked like the escaped
parolee who had been in the news, accord-
ing to the sheriffs office.
San Francisco police
responded to the area and
found Sanders and took
him into custody. He was
booked at the San
Francisco County Jail
where is awaiting trans-
port to the San Mateo
County Jail, sheriffs offi-
cials said.
Sanders, a transient
who frequents both San Mateo and Alameda
counties, has a history of violence, weapons
and sex offenses and currently faces a mis-
demeanor charge for an alleged sex offense
against a minor in San Mateo County, as
well as a parole violation, Schumaker said.
Authorities said Sanders is considered a
high risk offender with mental health
issues.
State parks department
sought to spend extra money
SACRAMENTO The state Department
of Parks and Recreation searched for ways to
spend extra money every year despite facing
the threat of park closures and forgoing
upkeep at its 278 properties, a newspaper
reported Sunday.
Newly released transcripts from an internal
investigation show a department that wanted
to keep secret a reserve of its own special
funds to hedge against future nancial prob-
lems, according to the Sacramento Bee. The
department spent as much state general fund
money each year as it could.
Browns administration said last month that
the parks department had long hidden $54
million without reporting it to the Department
of Finance and state lawmakers, who have
constitutional authority over spending in
California.
An internal audit found the department car-
ried out a secret vacation buyout program for
some employees about the same time the
agency planned to close 70 state parks due to
budget cuts.
Finance ofcials and the state Department
of Justice are investigating further. Longtime
state parks director Ruth Coleman and other
top ofcials resigned last month.
Hundreds pray for
boys lost in Merced River
ANAHEIM Hundreds of people gathered
at an Anaheim church to pray for the family of
a 10-year-old boy who drowned after being
swept away by the Merced River and whose 6-
year-old brother remains missing.
About 400 churchgoers attended a service
Saturday at Calvary Chapel remembering
Andres Adams and his brother, Jacob, who
was missing but presumed dead, the Orange
County Register (bit.ly/OK5r30) reported.
The two boys were swept away late
Wednesday in a rough stretch of the Merced
River during a side trip to Yosemite Valley.
The boys and their mother were on a church
retreat when a hike to see Vernal Fall turned to
tragedy. The mother suffered injuries trying to
save them.
The mother, an adult son and the two boys
had stepped into the water below the Vernal
Fall Footbridge to cool off on a day when tem-
peratures were in the 90s. Somehow the boys
ended up in white water about 15 feet from the
banks and were carried away.
Andres Adams died soon after he was pulled
from the water, about 150 yards from where
he was caught in the currents.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Tight school budgets
have meant fewer teachers, larger classes and
shorter school years, according to a White
House report that President Barack Obama says
shows the need for Congress to pass his pro-
posals to help states reduce teacher layoffs.
The study concluded that 300,000 education
jobs have been lost since the ofcial end of the
recession in 2009 and that student-to-teacher
ratios have increased by 4.6 percent from 2008
to 2010 and are on track to grow more.
If we want America to lead in the 21st cen-
tury, nothing is more important than giving
everyone the best education possible from
the day they start preschool to the day they start
their career, Obama said in his weekly radio
and Internet address Saturday.
For Obama, the report offered a fresh chance
to push a nearly year-old jobs plan he proposed
that provided money for states to keep teachers,
police ofcers and reghters on the job. The
proposal included payroll tax cuts and jobless
insurance provisions that Congress has passed.
But other proposals in the plan have run
aground amid mostly Republican opposition.
Obama is pressing Congress to act, part of an
election-year strategy to portray Republicans as
obstructionists. Republicans have proposed
their own measures, but they have not advanced
in the Democratic-controlled Senate. The parti-
sanship has created a stalemate that Obama has
tried to exploit during his re-election campaign.
While the private sector has continued to cre-
ate jobs, though at a sluggish pace, the public
sector has been posting monthly job losses,
contributing to an 8.3 percent unemployment
rate.
Obamas plan includes $25 billion in aid to
prevent layoffs of teacher and pay for other edu-
cation jobs. That is part of a broader effort to
retain state and local government jobs.
The White House report was not a product of
the Education Department. It was prepared by
the presidents Council of Economic Advisers,
his Domestic Policy Council and his National
Economic Council.
According to the report, average student-to-
teacher ratios reached a low of 15.3 in 2008 but
climbed to 16 students per teacher in 2010,
equal to levels in 2000. The report acknowl-
edges that typical class sizes are actually larger
than those ratios because the measures include
teachers for students with disabilities and other
special teachers who are excluded from class
size counts.
Obama renews call for aidto halt teacher layoffs
By Christopher S. Rugaber
WASHINGTON Unemployment rates
rose in 44 U.S. states in July, the most states
to show a monthly increase in more than
three years and a reection of weak hiring
nationwide.
The Labor Department said Friday that
unemployment rates fell in only two states
and were unchanged in four.
Unemployment rates rose in nine states
that are considered battlegrounds in the pres-
idential election. That trend, if it continued,
could pose a threat to President Barack
Obamas re-election bid in less than three
months.
Nationwide, hiring improved in July after
three months of tepid job gains. But the
national unemployment rate ticked up to 8.3
percent from 8.2 percent. Monthly job gains
have averaged 150,000 this year. Thats bare-
ly enough to accommodate population
growth. As a result, the unemployment rate is
the same as when the year began.
Still, 31 states gained jobs in July, while 19
lost them. Unemployment rates can rise in a
state even when more jobs are created if more
people start looking for work. People who are
out of work are counted as unemployed only
if theyre looking for a job.
In the most closely contested states in the
presidential race, unemployment has fallen
over the past year. That could help Obama in
his contest with GOP candidate Mitt
Romney.
But it has started to tick up in recent
months. In Nevada, the rate rose to 12 percent
in July from 11.6 percent the previous month.
Thats the highest rate in the nation, though
its still much lower than a year ago, when it
was 13.8 percent.
And in Michigan, the rate has increased to 9
percent, from 8.5 percent two months earlier.
Unemployment also increased in Florida,
Virginia, North Carolina, Iowa,
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Colorado,
Wisconsin and New Hampshire.
The rate was unchanged at 7.2 percent in
Ohio, the only swing state that didnt suffer
an increase. Still, that rate is down sharply
from 8.9 percent a year ago.
Unemployment rates rose in 44 U.S. states in July

LA CANADA FLINTRIDGE For one
family, an exotic summer getaway means liv-
ing on Mars.
Martian time, that is.
Since the landing of NASAs newest Mars
rover, ight director David Ohs family has
taken the unusual step of tagging along as he
leaves Earth time behind and syncs his body
clock with the red planet.
Every mission to Mars, a small army of sci-
entists and engineers reports to duty on Mars
time for the rst three months. But its
almost unheard of for an entire family to ip
their orderly lives upside down, shifting to
what amounts to a time zone change a day.
Intrigued about abiding by extraterrestrial
time, Ohs wife, Bryn, could not pass up the
chance to take their kids 13-year-old
Braden, 10-year-old Ashlyn and 8-year-old
Devyn on a Martian adventure from their
home near the NASA Jet Propulsion
Laboratory where the Curiosity rover was
built.
We all feel a little sleepy, a little jet-lagged
all day long, but everyone is doing great,
Bryn Oh said, two weeks into the experiment.
Days on Mars last a tad longer. Earth rotates
on its axis once every 24 hours the deni-
tion of a day. Neighbor Mars spins more lazi-
ly. Days there known as sols last 39
minutes and 35 seconds longer than on Earth.
The difference may not seem like much each
day, but it adds up.
To stay in lockstep, nearly 800 people on
the $2.5 billion project have surrendered to
the Martian cycle of light and dark. In the
simplest sense, each day slides forward 40
minutes. That results in wacky work, sleep
and eating schedules. Many say it feels like
perpetual jet lag.
The Oh family broke in slowly. A sign on
their front door warns: On Mars Time: Flight
Director Asleep. Come Back Later.
Days before Curiositys Aug. 5 touchdown,
the children stayed up until 11:30 p.m. and
slept in until 10 a.m. In the beginning, it was-
nt much different from a typical day on sum-
mer vacation. As the days wore on, they
stayed up later and later, waking up in the
afternoon and evening.
One day last week, the family ate a 3 p.m.
breakfast, 8 p.m. lunch, 2:30 a.m. dinner and
5 a.m. dessert before heading off to bed.
To sleep when the sun is out, their bedroom
windows are covered with aluminum foil or
cloth to keep out any sliver of light. In the
hallway, a handmade calendar keeps track of
the days and schedules are written on an over-
sized mirror. A digital clock in the master
bedroom is set to Mars time.
Bryn Oh keeps a meticulous spreadsheet
updated with her husbands work hours and
the familys activities. They wear a wireless
device that monitors their steps, calories
burned and sleep patterns.
When David Oh tells co-workers on Mars
time and friends on Earth time about the
switch: Some of them think its really cool to
have the kids along. Some who worked on
other Mars missions have said, Youre
crazy.
Being night owls has its perks: Braden,
Ashlyn and Devyn saw their rst shooting
star. The family went on night hikes in the
hills around the neighborhood. They had a
late dinner in Hollywood and gawked at street
performers on the Walk of Fame with other
tourists. They saw a midnight screening of a
zombie lm and then went bowling.
One night, Bryn Oh took the children bik-
ing in an empty parking lot. The youngest
shed his training wheels, and for the rst time,
pedaled around.
Of the three, Ashlyn has the most difculty
sticking to the Mars rhythm. She tends to
wake up too early and balks at naps.
Its awesome, but its tiring she said.
Braden thrives on the weird hours. What
teenager doesnt like staying up as late as pos-
sible and having frozen yogurt at midnight?
He started a blog detailing the familys expe-
riences.
Earthly sacrices were made. The family
traded a real vacation for a gloried stayca-
tion. Dental appointments, harp lessons and
play dates were scheduled around when the
kids were awake, which was a moving target
every day.
Still, they managed to host a party a week
after the landing, throwing a Mars-themed
backyard barbecue complete with a cake
shaped like Gale Crater, Curiositys new
home, and topped with candles shaped like
stars.
Bryn Oh said its easy to lose track of what
day it is. A simple question like What time is
it? is difcult to answer. Do you mean Earth
time? Curiosity time? The time that their bod-
ies think theyre on?
For the mission workers, the schedule is
also more grueling than in the past. Their
work hours tend to whiplash around depend-
ing on when orbiting spacecraft y over the
rover landing site to relay signals to Earth.
One shift sends up commands spelling out
what Curiosity will do for the day; another
pores over the pictures beamed back.

PASADENA NASAs Curiosity rover
has zapped its rst Martian rock, aiming its
laser for the sake of science.
During the target practice on Sunday.
Curiosity red 30 pulses at a nearby rock over
a 10-second window, burning a small hole.
Since landing in Gale Crater two weeks
ago, the six-wheel rover has been checking
out its instruments including the laser. During
its two-year mission, Curiosity was expected
to point the laser at various rocks as it drives
toward Mount Sharp, a 3-mile-high mountain
rising from the crater oor.
Its goal is to determine whether the Martian
environment was habitable.
In several days, ight controllers will com-
mand Curiosity to move its wheels side-to-
side and take its rst short drive.

WASHINGTON Dont look
for many bold pronouncements
when Republicans and Democrats
adopt party platforms at their
national conventions.
Platforms are supposed to reect
the core values of the party and
maybe provide some red meat to re
up the base, getting activists excited
about supporting their presidential
nominee. Thats what Democrats
hope to do by embracing gay mar-
riage in their platform, a position
that President Barack Obama only
recently has adopted.
But no candidate wants to provide
political fodder for opponents by
including something in the platform
that might turn off the sought-after
undecided swing voters who could
decide the election.
You dont want a sentence or
paragraph or phrase from your plat-
form to be used against you in an ad
or in a speech as a wedge issue,
said Linda P. Schacht, a veteran of
many Democratic conventions who
worked on Jimmy Carters cam-
paigns in 1976 and 1980.
That could present a challenge for
Republican Mitt Romney, who will
have to contend with supporters of
Rep. Ron Paul at the GOP conven-
tion in Tampa, Fla., at months end.
Pauls supporters are determined to
make their mark on the convention,
and the Texas congressman has
pointed to the platform as a good
way to do it.
A lot of delegates who are
pledged to vote for Romney are
actually very strong supporters of
ours and will be strongly supporting
us when we want to put things into
the platform to say, Hey, we dont
need another war, Paul said in a
recent broadcast interview. The
Federal Reserve? Yes, we do need to
audit the Fed and we ought to really
cut spending.
The GOP platform committee
meets Monday and Tuesday in
Tampa, ahead of the start of the con-
vention Aug. 27.
Romney will have enough dele-
gates to win any battle over the plat-
form. But if Pauls supporters arent
placated, they could become an
unwanted distraction, forcing public
debates over foreign policy and the
ght against terrorism at a time
when Romney would rather focus
on the struggling economy and his
efforts to defeat Obama.
Many of Pauls libertarian views
dovetail nicely with mainstream
Republican ideas on limited govern-
ment and low taxes. But Paul breaks
with much of his party when he rails
against American intervention
abroad, calling the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan illegal because
Congress never passed a declaration
of war. Paul also calls for abolishing
the Federal Reserve and repealing
the Patriot Act, legislation enacted
after the Sept. 11 attacks to give law
enforcement more tools to ght ter-
rorism.
Dont look for any of those posi-
tions in this years Republican plat-
form. But party leaders could make
some concessions, perhaps agreeing
to a plank that calls for an audit of
the Fed or a broad statement that
calls for respecting civil liberties in
the ght against terrorism.

President Barack Obama and
Republican challenger Mitt
Romney spent a quiet Sunday
attending church with their fami-
lies, resting up for the campaigns
nal 11 weeks and the approaching
party nominating conventions.
While the Romneys enjoyed
beautiful sunshine in New
Hampshire, and the Obamas
endured rain in Washington, both
men sent top advisers to the
Sunday talk shows. These surro-
gates sparred mainly over
Medicare and taxes, just as the can-
didates themselves have done for
days.
Obama and Romney plunge
back into heavy campaigning and
fundraising this week. Targeted
states include Ohio, Nevada and
New Hampshire.
The debates dominant topic
remains how to tame Medicares
explosive growth without hurting
the millions of elderly Americans,
and future retirees, who count on it
to pay for health care.
TV interviewers pressed
Romney aides to explain how the
GOP ticket can restore a proposed
$716 billion cut in Medicare

R o m n e y
adviser Eric
F e h r n s t r o m
told CNNs
State of the Union that Ryan and
Romney are now in accord. The
$716 billion can safely remain in
the program, he said, because
Romney will introduce choice
and competition through more pri-
vate plans.
Romney also would trim benets
for wealthier people and gradually
raise the eligibility age. None of
his proposed changes would affect
Americans now 55 or older.
Obama aide Stephanie Cutter,
also on CNN, said Romneys plan
to keep the $716 billion in
Medicare over 10 years would do
nothing to shore up the program.

Assange urges U.S. to
end Wikileaks witch hunt
LONDON Wikileaks founder Julian
Assange portrayed himself Sunday as a victim
of an American witch
hunt over his secret-
spilling website in a de-
ant address from the bal-
cony of an embassy where
he has holed up to avoid
extradition to face sex
assault allegations.
Surrounded by British
police who want to detain
him, Assange made no
mention of the sex assault
case in Sweden or how long he would remain
in Ecuadors embassy in London, where he
took refuge two months ago. Instead he shift-
ed focus to the U.S., accusing the government
of targeting him for revealing a trove of
American diplomatic and military secrets.
I ask President Obama to do the right
thing. The United States must renounce its
witch hunt against WikiLeaks, Assange said,
wearing a formal blue shirt and red tie in front
of the Ecuadorean ag.
The United States must vow that it will not
seek to prosecute our staff or our supporters,
he said, referring specically to Pfc. Bradley
Manning, who awaits trial in Virginia in the
scandal.
The U.S. risks dragging us all into a dark,
repressive world in which journalists live
under fear of prosecution, Assange said
Madonna sued in
Russia for supporting gays
MOSCOW Some Russian activists have
sued Madonna for millions of dollars, claim-
ing they were offended by
her support for gay rights
during a recent concert in
St. Petersburg.
Anti-gay sentiment is
strong in Russia. In St.
Petersburg, a law passed in
February makes it illegal
to promote homosexuality
to minors, and the author
of that law has pointed to
the presence of children as
young as 12 at Madonnas concert on Aug. 9.
Russian news agencies quote Alexander
Pochuyev, a lawyer representing the nine
activists, as saying the suit was led Friday
against Madonna, the organizer of her con-
cert, and the hall where it was held, asking for
damages totaling 333 million rubles, or near-
ly $10.5 million.
Responding to criticism that the plaintiffs
were stuck in the Middle Ages, the lawyer
said they were using civilized, modern meth-
ods to defend their rights.

KABUL, Afghanistan A man in an
Afghan police uniform shot and killed an
international service member on Sunday,
NATO said, raising the death toll to 10 in such
attacks in the space of just two weeks.
The surge in violence by Afghan allies
against their international partners has raised
doubts about the ability of the two forces to
work together at a key transition time. Afghan
forces are expected to take over security for
the country by the end of 2014, when the
majority of international combat forces are
scheduled to leave.
On the other side, a coalition airstrike killed
dozens of Taliban militants, including one of
their leaders, ofcials said.
Few details were immediately available
about Sundays killing of a coalition member
in southern Afghanistan. NATO said only that
they and Afghan authorities were investigat-
ing. Afghan ofcials could not be reached for
comment.
The Taliban have been actively recruiting
members of the Afghan security forces, saying
in a statement last week that they considered
these turncoat attacks a major part of their
strategy against international forces.
Once an anomaly, these attacks have been
climbing in recent months. There have been
30 such turncoat attacks so far this year, up
from 11 in 2011.
On Saturday Defense Secretary Leon
Panetta called Afghan President Hamid
Karzai to encourage him to work with U.S.
commanders to ensure more rigorous vetting
of Afghan recruits.
On Friday it was disclosed that U.S. troops
have been ordered to carry loaded weapons at
all times in Afghanistan, even when they are
on their bases.

Leon Panetta called Afghan President
Hamid Karzai on Saturday to discuss the ris-
ing number of insider attacks in which
Afghan security forces have turned their
guns on American and other coalition
troops.
Spokesman George Little said Panetta
encouraged Karzai to work with U.S. com-
manders to ensure more rigorous vetting of
Afghan recruits. Little
said Panetta and Karzai
agreed that American and
Afghan ofcials need to
work together to address a
problem that has intensi-
ed in recent days.

Friday shot to death two
U.S. servicemen during a

WASHINGTON The roadside bomb that
exploded outside Andrew Robinsons Humvee
in Iraq six years ago broke the Marine staff
sergeants neck and left him without use of his
legs. It also cast doubt on his ability to father a
child, a gnawing emotional wound for a then-
23-year-old who had planned to start a family
with his wife of less than two years.
The catastrophic spinal cord injury meant the
couples best hope for children was in vitro fer-
tilization, an expensive and time-consuming
medical procedure whose cost isnt covered by
the Department of Veterans Affairs. Robinson
and his wife were forced to pay out of pocket,
with help from a doctors discount and drugs
donated by other patients. A bill being consid-
ered in the Senate would expand the VAs med-
ical benets package so other veterans, and their
spouses or surrogates, dont have to bear the
same expense. The department currently covers
a range of medical treatment for veterans,
including some infertility care, but the legisla-
tion specically authorizes the VA to cover IVF
and to pay for procedures now provided for
some critically injured active-duty soldiers.
The bills meant to help wounded veterans
start families as they return home from war and
to address a harrowing consequence of combat
that can radically change a couples marriage
but receives less attention than post-traumatic
stress disorder and brain injuries.

OPINION 9
More than journalism, CSMs
newspaper was civics lesson
Editor,
As alumni of The San Matean,
College of San Mateos student news-
paper, we were disheartened to learn
that all journalism classes were can-
celed at CSM. Ending the journalism
classes by effect stopped the production
of The San Matean. The journalism
program at CSM and our work at The
San Matean as advised by Professor Ed
Remitz has been a life changing experi-
ence for all of us. The program was not
just about newswriting, reporting and
editing, but ultimately it was a civics
lesson. As students, we learned hands-
on what it meant to be responsible and
active members of our American
democracy through the power of The
San Mateans watchdog role. Sadly, we
can attest to the fact that for some at
CSM, including faculty and administra-
tors, this civics lesson was lost upon
them. Instead of celebrating a First
Amendment student newspaper at
CSM, the program review which led to
the cancelation of journalism classes
focused on grammatical and content
errors of the student newspaper.
Unlike the vast majority of work
completed behind closed doors in col-
lege classrooms, our work at The San
Matean was public. Thats how we
learned to take responsibility for our
role as reporters. Professor Remitz
never bowed to the pressure placed
upon him to edit his students work,
and we are all grateful to him for tak-
ing that stand on our behalf. It made us
stronger writers, reporters and citizens.

Letter to the editor
By Greg Munks and Steve Wagstaffe
P
utting him in jail isnt going
to help. This common
refrain is often the basis for
those critical of the decisions of judges,
prosecutors and law enforcement of-
cers. But the point of jail is not necessar-
ily to help the defendant and, certainly
early in a prosecution, when the danger
presented by the offender has not been
fully assessed, the point of incarcerating
charged defendants is to protect the vic-
tims the people whose lives and secu-
rity were shattered by the willful con-
duct of the defendant as well as to
protect members of our communities.
This harsh reality that incarceration
is an unpleasant but necessary compo-
nent of a functional criminal justice sys-
tem can be lost on people caught up
in the emotional turmoil of the incarcer-
ated person and who ignore the plight of
victims of crime. The Aug. 16 guest per-
spective Our justice system needs
change by retired consultant Robert
Cushman took to task the leaders of the
countys criminal justice system for
essentially overusing the jails. He argued
that we resist adopting evidence based
practices to reduce the jail population
and instead jail people with whom we
are upset. He concluded that there is
no evidence that the San Mateo County
response makes anyone safer.
This broad-brush indictment of the
criminal justice system and the superior
court judges reects a deep misunder-
standing of both the purpose of jail gen-
erally and of pretrial detention speci-
cally. It ignores the role of the judge
involved in each and every decision to
incarcerate an offender and it disregards
the clear dictates of the law that a
principal consideration for the court in
setting bail is the protection of the pub-
lic.
Common sense should be sufcient to
support the wisdom of this individual-
ized approach. If not, a brief review of
the escalating crime rates of 1970s and
80s would help. It
was that eras failed
experiment with
placing compassion
for the accused
above protection of
the public which led
to many of the
changes Mr.
Cushman seeks to
undo. The reality is
that the decisions of
todays judges are
indeed evidence
based, although not
in the manner
desired by Mr.
Cushman. These
judges do not rely on
the ivory-tower opin-
ions of experts, but
assess through the
light of their experi-
ence the relevant
factors connected to the particular case.
Their evidence-based decision is case
specic the nature of the crime, the
type of injury or damage inicted, the
age and prior record of the offender and
other specic circumstances that might
disclose that this particular defendant is
likely to continue his criminal behavior
if released. It is not extreme to incar-
cerate someone whose prior behavior
and present conduct makes plain that a
future victim lies in his path.
Judges, prosecutors and law enforce-
ment ofcers understand that the point
of jail is to get the attention of the
offender. The responsibility of the crimi-
nal justice system is to impose upon
those who defy the law a swift and
appropriate consequence. Whether that
consequence is light on punishment and
heavy on counseling and treatment, or
vice-versa, is best placed where the law
assigns it with the judges who can
make a decision based upon a full
assessment of the relevant and particular
circumstances of the case at issue. In
this county, our judges do an excellent
job of balancing the duty to protect the
public and punish criminal conduct
while at the same time offering a helping
hand to offenders who deserve commu-
nity assistance.
To suggest the incarceration of crimi-
nal offenders has never been shown to
make San Mateo County safer simply
ignores the facts. In recent years, crime
has dropped to levels not seen in many
decades. This drop in crime coincided
with the use of tough sentences in some
cases and treatment in other cases,
always taking into account the safety of
the community.
Though it has been well discussed in
the public arena, it apparently needs reit-
erating our jail has been grossly over-
crowded for years. This has been the
subject of civil grand jury reports and is
precisely the same reason the court has
ordered the state to reduce its prison
population. This shift of state prisoners
to the counties adds to our already over-
crowded situation and is despite our best
efforts to do everything possible to keep
people out of custody. We have one of
the most comprehensive alternatives to
incarceration programs anywhere as well
as one of the lowest rates of incarcera-
tion of any county in the state.
Tough economic times are upon us,
and we all share in that pain. But empty-
ing the jails is not the solution, and
refusing to plan for future needs is an act
of folly, not frugality, for the basic and
non-delegable function of government is
the safety of the public. The mistakes of
the 70s and 80s have largely been cor-
rected. Lets not undo the progress that
has been made for the sake of change.
Greg Munks is the San Mateo County
sheriff and Steve Wagstaffe is the San
Mateo County district attorney.
Emptying the jail is not the answer County supervisor race
N
ow that we are down to two candidates, you would
expect the campaign for the open seat on the San
Mateo County Board of Supervisors to heat up.
But Shelly Masur and Warren Slocum are busy collecting
endorsements and money while most of the interested public
is focused on the presidential race. That should change come
September.
The two have each picked up some major support since
the primary. Slocum has the endorsement of the three current
female members of the board, supervisors Adrienne Tissier,
Rose Jacobs Gibson (who is termed out in 2012 and whose
seat is in contention) and Carole Groom. Meanwhile, the two
male members of the board,
Don Horsley and David
Pine, are supporting Masur.
They also supported her in
the primary. Masur has
picked up the endorsements
of former assemblyman
Gene Mullin and former
assemblyman and supervisor
Ted Lempert who previously
supported Memo Morantes.
Slocum is now supported by
Redwood City Mayor Alicia
Aguirre, who is active in the
Latino caucus. The rest of
the Redwood City Council is
supporting Masur. Its a
horse race for endorsements
but Masur leads in the num-
ber of current councilmembers and school board trustees.
I dont suppose the two differ much on policy. The one
debate I attended, Slocum did not participate. So its more a
matter of personality and background. Slocum served as
chief elections ofcer and assessor-county clerk-recorder for
24 years before he retired in 2010. He then went to ll the
head spot at Peninsula TV when Bob Marks left. He has run
for ofce this administrative position is elected many
times and, as a result, could have the advantage of name
recognition. Masur, on the other hand, is relatively new to
the county. She has served on the Redwood City Elementary
School Board for seven years and has managed several non-
prots. During her tenure on the board, she was chosen to
head the County School Boards Association and has become
a familiar face to educators throughout the county. Slocums
wife, Marta-Diaz, serves on the same school board as Masur
and is believed to be the one who urged her husband to run.
The other members of the Redwood City school board are
supporting Masur. Masur has also amassed endorsements
from many sitting councilmembers throughout the county.
Slocum has, too, in addition to several former supervisors
(Tom Huening, Mike Nevin and Mary Grifn) and former
school board trustees and councilmembers.
Some feel Slocums background as county assessor and
elections chief better prepares him for the job of a county
supervisor. Others feel he has been in ofce too long and its
time for someone new. Some feel Masurs school experience
is insufcient experience for a supervisor. Others say some
former school board trustees turned supervisor, Tom
Huening and Dave Pine, for example, have done quite well.
Since the county deals more with the needy population and
health care issues, Masurs background in public health is an
asset. Both candidates receive high grades for their previous
public service. Slocum ran one of the best election depart-
ments in the state, with the help of his able assistant David
Tom. Masur was admired statewide for her work on the
Redwood City Elementary School Board.
If you dont know the candidates, its a tough choice. You
can read their full list of endorsements on their websites and
attend one of the campaign debates in the fall. Either way,
the county is blessed to have two such qualied people from
which to choose.

The Democrats have opened two campaign ofces, one in
Belmont, the other in Menlo Park, at prime locations on El
Camino Real. The highest priority will be getting volunteers
to phone swing states on behalf of President Obama. The
Republicans have a less visible site on Mahler Road in
Burlingame.

The San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School Board
made a wise decision in not putting another tax measure on
the November ballot. Not so for the supes and other boards
whose measures will compete with a state initiative to save
the budget from drastic cuts. Like taking away a weeks
worth of schooling for kids. Also of interest come November

BUSINESS 10
By Christina Rexrode
NEW YORK Its not just in your
head. Mondays really are the worst.
Monday is the only day the stock mar-
ket is more likely to fall than to rise. The
Dow Jones industrial average has been
down 10 of the past 11 Mondays. And
the two worst days in market history are
both known as Black Monday.
Theres no single reason why
Mondays are so blue. Then again, theres
no single reason the market rises or falls
on any given day, driven as it is by the
whims of traders placing millions of
individual buy and sell orders.
Some anecdotal evidence comes to
mind: Companies are prone to release
bad news on Friday nights, when fewer
people are paying attention. Monday is
the rst day investors can react.
And when companies collapse, they
often do it late Sunday or early Monday,
after spending a last weekend trying to
stay aoat. See Wachovia, Bear Stearns
and, most famously, Lehman Brothers
investment bank, on Sept. 15, 2008.
Maybe people are just grumpier. They
are at least more anxious: The so-called
Vix, a gauge of investor fear, tends to go
up on Mondays, notes Ryan Detrick,
senior technical strategist for Schaeffers
Investment Research in Cincinnati.
The Vix has risen on two-thirds of this
years Mondays. On Tuesdays, the sec-
ond-most-anxious day, the Vix was up
just 58 percent of the time.
Or maybe its a uke another pat-
tern people latch on to, to make the mar-
ket seem more understandable, same as
the stories that hemlines go up in bull
markets, or that stocks rise if a team
from the NFC wins the Super Bowl.
Burton Malkiel wrote about those last
two theories in his finance classic, A
Random Walk Down Wall Street. He
stuck them in a section called A
Gaggle of Other Technical Theories to
Help You Lose Money.
He found the blue Monday phe-
nomenon equally underwhelming. Far
from dependable, he says, and most
likely due to chance.
Still, there is a pattern.
Howard Silverblatt, senior index ana-
lyst for S&P Dow Jones Indices,
crunched numbers for the Standard &
Poors 500 stock index back to 1928
and found that melancholy Mondays
are a long tradition.
Over the past 84 years, the S&P has
declined on 52 percent of the Mondays,
Silverblatt says. Same goes for the
Dow, going back to 1900. On each of
the other four days, the market is more
likely to rise than fall.
The S&P averages a decline of 0.12
percent on Mondays over history. On
each of the other four days, the market
averages a gain. (The best is
Wednesday, averaging an increase of
0.08 percent.)
This year follows the pattern: For
both the S&P and the Dow, Monday is
the only day to average a loss.
Notably horrible was Monday, June
11, when the Dow fell 142 points
because of worries about Spanish debt.
Almost as bad were June 25, also cap-
sized by worries about Spain, and April
9, after an anemic jobs report.
Maybe over the weekend, thats
when reality sets in, says Tim
McCandless, senior stock analyst at Bel
Air Investment Advisors in Los Angeles.
Three of the ve worst days in the his-
tory of the S&P 500 were Mondays,
including two days known as Black
Monday: Oct. 19, 1987, when stocks
plunged more than 20 percent, and Oct.
28, 1929, which helped set off the Great
Depression.
Monday bad for market
Wall Street
By Stephen Ohlemacher
WASHINGTON Despite Social
Securitys long-term problems, the mas-
sive retirement and disability program
could be preserved for generations to
come with modest but politically dif-
cult changes to benets or taxes, or a
combination of both.
Some options could affect people
quickly, such as increasing payroll taxes
or reducing annual cost-of-living adjust-
ments for those who already get bene-
ts. Others options, such as gradually
raising the retirement age, wouldnt be
felt for years but would affect millions
of younger workers.
All of the options carry political risks
because they have the potential to affect
nearly every U.S. family while raising
the ire of powerful interest groups. But
the sooner changes are made, the more
subtle they can be because they can be
phased in slowly. Each year lawmakers
wait, Social Securitys nancial prob-
lems loom larger and the need for bigger
changes becomes greater, according to
an analysis by the Associated Press.
Certainly, in the current environ-
ment, it would be very difcult to get
changes made, Social Securitys com-
missioner, Michael J. Astrue, said in an
interview. It doesnt mean that we
shouldnt try. And sometimes when you
try hard things, surprising things hap-
pen.
Social Security is ensnared in the
same debate over taxes and spending
that has gripped Washington for years.
Liberal advocates and some Democrats
say benet cuts should be off the table.
Conservative activists and some
Republicans say tax increases are out of
the question.
Others, including a decit commis-
sion created by President Barack
Obama in 2010, have called for a com-
bination of tax increases and cuts to
future benefits, including raising the
retirement age again.
Social Security fixable; changes politically tough
GM, Isuzu recall 258,000
SUVs to fix power windows
THE ASSOCIATED PRES
DETROIT General Motors and Isuzu are recalling more
than 258,000 SUVs in the U.S. and Canada to x short-circuits
in power-window and door-lock switches that can cause res.
The recall covers Chevrolet TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy, Buick
Rainier, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 97-X SUVs from the 2006
and 2007 model years. The SUVs were sold or registered in 20
U.S. states, Washington, D.C., and Canada, where salt and
other chemicals are used to clear roads in the winter.
GM has reports of 28 res, and it doesnt know of any
injuries caused by the problem.
Fluid can get inside the drivers door and cause corrosion in
the power window and door switch circuit boards, GM said in
documents posted on the U.S. National Highway Trafc
Safety Administration website.

NEW RULES: NCAA TENNIS PROPOSAL DRAWS CONCERN OF USTA >>> PAGE 14
By Ronald Blum
NEW YORK An associate of San Francisco Giants All-Star Melky Cabrera pur-
chased a website and attempted to create evidence to support a claim that the out-
elder inadvertently took the substance that caused a positive drug test, Major
League Baseball said.
Baseball ofcials uncovered the scheme as Cabrera prepared his case to
challenge the test. Cabreras grievance then was dropped, and MLB
announced a 50-game suspension Wednesday.
The New York Daily News rst reported on the scheme Sunday.
A team of six-to-seven investigators from MLB spent several
weeks working to uncover the plan, a baseball ofcial familiar with
the probe told the Associated Press. The person spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity because MLB didnt authorize anyone to dis-
cuss the matter publicly.
Its the rst such case MLB has had and ofcials hope that
uncovering the scheme will discourage similar attempts.
The person said baseball had referred the case to fed-
eral investigators.
A second baseball ofcial, also speaking on condi-
tion of anonymity, said additional discipline against
Cabrera was unlikely.
Cabrera, MVP of the All-Star game last month,
tested positive for testosterone, MLB said.
The person said Juan Nunez, who works with
Cabreras agents, purchased an existing website
and attempted to alter it in a manner that would
allow Cabrera to claim the positive test was
caused by a substance obtained through the
website. The News reported Nunez paid
$10,000 for the website.
If you create a new website, you would
know when the website was created, the
baseball ofcial said. At least they were
smart enough to buy an existing website.
The baseball ofcial said MLB investi-
gators were able to use their forensic
resources to trace the website back to
Nunez.
Cabrera is represented by brothers
Sam and Seth Levinson of ACES, a
sports management company
based in Brooklyn. The Levinsons,
who did not respond to messages
Sunday, told the Daily News that
Nunez was a paid consultant of
their agency.
See CABRERA, Page 14
SAN DIEGO Clayton Richard pitched a
strong game and Cameron Maybin led a
relentless offense. However, it was Everth
Cabrera who was the talk of the Padres lock-
er room.
Richard threw a commanding eight innings
and Maybin drove in three runs as the San
Diego Padres snapped a ve-game losing
streak with a 7-1 win over the San Francisco
Giants on Sunday.
But Cabreras 13-pitch at-bat on all fast-
balls against Ryan Vogelsong (10-7) lead-
ing off the rst inning drew a lot of credit for
San Diegos success.
Cabrera eventually struck out swinging after
fouling off seven straight pitches with the
count full.
That rst at-bat, from our side, was awe-
some, Padres manager Bud Black said.
Being in those shoes, its not a great way to
start the game. Mentally, as a starting pitcher,
youre not in a good way.
Vogelsong threw 35 pitches in the rst
inning when San Diego sent eight men to bat
and scored three runs. The right-hander threw
another 31 pitches in the second inning when
the Padres loaded the bases.
That at-bat red us up, Maybin said.
Cabby came out and set the tone with that big
at-bat.
Gaints shut down by Padres
OAKLAND Jarrod Parker didnt argue
when Oakland manager Bob Melvin took him
out of the game after eight scoreless innings.
Given the way hes pitched the past month,
the rookie right-hander saw no point in it.
Parker and Ryan Cook combined on a
seven-hit shutout, and the As beat the
Cleveland Indians 7-0 on Sunday for a three-
game sweep.
Its Bobs job and I trust in every decision
that he makes, Parker said. He has my future
in mind and the best interests for the team, and
in a 7-0 game, its no reason to really push it.
Parker (8-7), possibly pitching to keep his
spot in the rotation following three consecu-
tive losses, gave up six hits, struck out two and
walked one. He retired 16
of his nal 18 batters and
didnt allow a run despite
pitching with runners in
scoring position most of
the afternoon.
The Indians put two run-
ners on in the second, third
and sixth but Parker
worked out of trouble each
time.
Thats significant because two other
Oakland starters, Brett Anderson and A.J.
Grifn, are set to come off the disabled list

Bogut encouraged by progress after ankle surgery
OAKLAND Golden State Warriors center Andrew Bogut
fully expects to be in the lineup for the season opener Oct. 31
at Phoenix after undergoing surgery this
spring on his troublesome ankle.
How much he plays during the exhibition
schedule, hes still not sure. Bogut believes
he will be nearly full strength by the start
of training camp Oct. 3, but might still be
limited during the preseason as a precau-
tion.
Last week, he began light jogging on a
treadmill as part of his recovery and
plans to do more this week at a higher
intensity.
The 7-foot Bogut underwent surgery on his fractured ankle
April 27 to clean out loose particles and bone spurs. The 2005
No. 1 overall draft pick out of Utah, he is yet to play for the
Warriors since being acquired in a trade from Milwaukee on
March 13 that sent Monta Ellis to the Bucks.
He also was sad to miss the London Olympics which
would have been his third Summer Games with Australia.
Raiders LB Curry still sidelined by injured knees
NAPA Oakland Raiders coach Dennis Allen says line-
backer Aaron Curry is running out of time to get back on the
practice eld from his injured knees in time
to start the season opener.
Curry is back with the team after spend-
ing last week in Los Angeles getting his
injured knees examined. He worked out on
the side before watching most of practice
Sunday for the Raiders (tied for No. 23 in
the AP Pro32).
Curry was placed on the physically
unable to perform list at the start of train-
ing camp because of the injuries. Allen
says he wont be taken off until he is able to change directions
at full speed.
The injury has given rookie Miles Burris a chance to start for
Oakland.
LeBron savoring special summer
AKRON, Ohio LeBron James squeezed his moms
hands, the way he did as a kid.
Moments before being honored again in
his hometown, where they still love him
and always will, James stood among fami-
ly members and friends. With the days in
this summer of summers dwindling quick-
ly, this was another moment to savor. So as
he waited to be introduced, James hugged
his mom, Gloria, around the neck, took out
his phone and snapped their picture.
He was home.
I know this place, he said, and it
knows me.
Fresh off leading the U.S. mens team to a gold medal at the
London Olympics, James was praised Sunday during a minor
league game for his recent basketball accomplishments an
MVP award, NBA title and the gold and for giving back to
Akron, where his Wheels For Education initiative has pro-
vided inner-city kids with supplies, programs, mentors, and
above all, hope.

NAPA The Oakland Raiders
already thin wide receiver group was
dealt another blow with Jacoby Ford
expected to miss time because of a
sprained left foot.
Ford underwent an MRI on Saturday,
a day after leaving Oaklands 31-24 pre-
season loss to the Arizona Cardinals in
the rst quarter.
Ford missed six games last season for
the Raiders (tied for No. 23 in the AP
Pro32) with a sprained left foot although
coach Dennis Allen said this one doesnt
appear as serious.
Obviously, it looks like Jacoby is
going to miss a little bit of time, dont
know exactly to what extent yet, Allen
said. Were still seeing where hes at.
Allen couldnt rule out the chance that
Ford would miss the opener on Sept. 10
against San Diego.
The Raiders have only three receivers
on the roster who have ever caught a
pass in the NFL and all are nursing
injuries. Darrius Heyward-Bey left the
game Friday with a sprained shoulder
that isnt believed to be serious.
Denarius Moore has-
nt played in the pre-
season as he recovers
from a hamstring
injury originally sus-
tained during mini-
camp in June.
Allen said Moore
is getting closer to
returning but the
team might need to
look outside the organization for help at
receiver.
Ford and Heyward-Bey werent the
only players to leave Friday nights
game with an injury as Oakland dropped
its second straight preseason game.
Backup quarterback Matt Leinart got
stitches in his right index nger after
being knocked out by an illegal hit by
Ricky Lumpkin in the second half, and
backup running Mike Goodson had
weakness in his shoulder in his rst
game since being taken to the hospital
with a neck injury earlier in training
camp. Neither of those injuries appear to
be serious.
There were some good signs in the
game, especially from the first-team
defense. Oakland continually pressured
Arizonas quarterbacks in the rst half
for three sacks. The Raiders allowed just
52 total yards in the rst two quarters,
including only 11 on the Cardinals nal
ve drives of the half.
Undrafted free agent Rod Streater had
seven catches for 43 yards, giving him
13 receptions in two games. He also
drew a pass interference call in the end
zone and made a touchdown-saving
tackle on an interception return.
But there were more negatives that
will need to be xed before the season
opener.
The rst-team offense failed to get
into the end zone for the second straight
game despite being in two goal-to-go sit-
uations in the rst half.
When we move the ball like we did,
we need to get more points out of it,
said quarterback Carson Palmer, who
threw his second interception of the pre-
season and missed Darren McFadden on
a potential touchdown. We just need to
keep our eye on the red zone and keep
working on it.
Oakland had a punt blocked for a
touchdown, missed an extra point, and
allowed two long returns on special
teams.

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa.
After his home run sailed over the left-
eld fence, Brock Myers raced around
the basepaths as if he was running a 40-
yard dash.
The soft-spoken, Myers played it cool
later in front of reporters, but Tennessee
manager Joey Hale insisted on giving
the 12-year-old Myers and his clutch-
hitting teammates the star treatment.
Jayson Brown broke a 5-5 tie by hit-
ting a 1-2 pitch down the right-eld line
for a two-out, two-run triple in the top
of the sixth, and Myers followed with
his two-run shot to left to lift the team
from Goodlettsville to a 9-6 win over
the prolific sluggers from Petaluma,
Calif., on Sunday at the Little League
World Series.
Tennessee is unbeaten in the tourna-
ment, joining Texas in the U.S. bracket
after the San Antonio sluggers beat New
Castle, Ind., 13-3.
In the international bracket, Japan and
Taiwan played the nightcap after
Panama started off Sundays action with
an 8-3 over Canada to remain undefeat-
ed.
Hales team had a tougher time against
a California club that belted four homers
on the afternoon. Petalumas powerful
hitters are rarely out of any game the
way they swing the bats, so Myers blast
helped ease his skippers mind.
They were pretty big ... Brock.
Going up by four, it was pretty nice,
Hale said.
Myers smiled briey and shrugged his
shoulders.
Brown, also 12, simply said afterward
the big inning was pretty awesome.
But the game was pretty tight going
into the sixth, with 17,000 fans watch-
ing in the stands and millions more
watching on national television.
After scratching out two rst-inning
runs on a elders choice and passed
ball, Petaluma turned up the power. Six-
foot-3 Bradley Smith, 12, got the spree
started with a homer down the left-eld
line.

HAVANA Endurance athlete Diana
Nyad forged ahead through the Straits of
Florida with renewed vigor Sunday in pursuit
of a record 103-mile (166-kilometer), unas-
sisted swim in open waters without the aid of
a shark cage.
The 62-year-old Los Angeles woman was
said to be comfortable, condent and steady
at around 50 strokes per minute after a har-
rowing night of painful jellysh encounters
despite an improved bodysuit that she had
hoped would offer better protection.
Nyad was stung four times during the night
on the neck, lips, hand and forehead, accord-
ing to members of her 50-member crew who
updated fans through social media.
Today is more like swimming, one mem-
ber quoted her as saying, via Twitter. I dont
know what you would call last night ... prob-
ably surviving.
Sunday evening, about 26 hours into the
swim, Nyad had traveled 27.7 miles and was
taking advantage of ideal conditions with
calm seas and little wind.
Video posted on her website showed her on
a break joking with the crew, singing a verse
from the Beatles No Reply and asking
about a kayakers son while sucking nourish-
ment from a long tube.
Im sort of cruising a little bit right now. I
feel like pushing it. I have the energy but Im
saving (it), Nyad said.
Youre right on the mark, came the
response from the boat.
Nyad had planned to don the bodysuit,
which covers her from head to toe except for
holes for the eyes, nose and mouth, at night,
when jellysh tend to rise to the surface. But
it apparently did not work as well as antici-
pated.
At least two of the stings were from the
dangerous box jellysh, which forced her to
cut short her second of two attempts last year
as toxins built up in her system.
At one point, with jellysh particles every-
where in the water, Nyad changed strokes to
keep her face out of harms way.
There are so many jellysh, said another
tweet. Diana is swimming backstroke right
now leading with the cap-covered part of her
head to minimize contact.

Said Cabrera: I was just trying to see the
ball and put it in play.
Vogelsong, who had his second straight
subpar outing, disagreed with effect of
Cabreras at-bat.
Its 13 pitches, he said. They fouled a
bunch of balls off. Both teams did.
The Giants dropped out of rst in the NL
West and trail the Dodgers by a half-game
heading into their big three-game series in Los
Angeles. Madison Bumgarner is scheduled to
face Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw in the
opener on Monday night.
Richard (10-12) allowed an unearned run
and ve hits while improving to 3-1 with a
2.02 ERA in his last ve starts. The left-han-
der was 0-3 with a 7.64 ERA in his three pre-
vious starts against San Francisco this season.
It starts with the starting pitcher, Black
said. He answered the bell. He wasnt feeling
well (in his last start) and it stayed with him.
He was a little fuzzy, but as the game wore on,
he set the tone.
Maybin tied his career high with four hits,
including a two-run single in the rst inning.
Not being happy with this year, you still
want to go up there and believe you can keep
producing, said Maybin, who has had a dis-
appointing season after signing a ve-year,
$25-million extension in the spring.
Cabrera and Will Venable had three hits
apiece and San Diego nished with 16 overall,
while avoiding matching its longest losing
streak of the season.
San Francisco had scored 22 times and
managed 37 hits in three games since out-
fielder Melky Cabrera was suspended on
Wednesday for 50 games following a positive
test for testosterone.
The Padres improved to 4-8 against San
Francisco this season and 10-20 over the last
two years.
Vogelsong gave up eight runs and nine hits
in 2 2-3 innings in a 14-2 loss to Washington
on Monday. The right-hander lasted three-
plus innings against San Diego and was
charged with three runs and eight hits. Over
his last two outings, his ERA has increased
from an NL-best 2.27 to 2.85.
The rst inning was a long inning, Giants
manager Bruce Bochy said. It probably
caught up with him. It was pretty amazing the
number of pitches he threw.
Venable hit a one-out single in the rst,
stole second and scored on Carlos Quentins
base hit. After Yonder Alonso singled and
Alexi Amarista walked, Maybin drove in two
more runs with a single.
The Giants countered with a run in the sec-
ond after Buster Posey reached on Venables
two-base error when he dropped a routine y
ball to right. Posey went to third on a wild
pitch and scored on Hunter Pences sacrice
y.
The Padres added three more in the fth.
Amarista hit a leadoff triple and scored on
Maybins single. Cabrera added a two-run
double.
NOTES:
Vogelsongs last two starts are his only out-
ings this season that he did not pitch at least
six innings. ... San Diego 3B Chase Headley
was ejected before he took the eld for the top
of the fth inning by home plate umpire Brian
ONora. Headley ew out for the second out
of the fourth and ung his bat down. But he
never made it out of the dugout to take his
position in the fth. ... Quentin was hit by a
pitch for the 14th time this season in the sec-
ond inning to tie Philadelphias Carlos Ruiz
for the major league lead. Quentin has
reached the total in nearly 100 fewer at-bats.
... The Giants are 7-0-3 in their last 10 series
against San Diego. ... Pirates LHP Wandy
Rodriguez was scheduled to start against
Padres RHP Edinson Volquez (7-9, 4.31 ERA)
on Monday night in San Diego. But
Rodriguez pitched in relief in Pittsburghs

soon to rejoin the rotation. Anderson could be
activated as early as Monday.
Melvin hasnt said which of the As current
starters will be pushed out, though its reason-
able to assume Parker was and still may
among those being considered.
He had lost three straight games, was win-
less since July 21 and had gone past the sixth
only twice in his previous six starts before
pairing with Cook for Oaklands 11th shutout
this season.
I was able to throw a lot two-seamers down
in the zone, in and out, Parker said. I just
wanted to compress the damage and just try to
slow it down and relax and make a couple of
pitches when I needed to.
Leadoff hitter Coco Crisp homered and
drove in ve runs for Oakland while Brandon
Moss added a solo shot and Cliff Pennington
scored three times.
The As won their fourth in a row and
moved 10 games over .500, matching their
high mark of the season.
Shin-Soo Choo singled twice for the
Indians, who have lost ve straight on their
nine-game road trip.
We were completely outplayed by these
guys, especially outpitched, the whole series,
Cleveland manager Manny Acta said. We
have struggled in areas that are not conducive
to winning games and its shown.
Cleveland was shut out for the sixth time
this season. It was so bad for the Indians that
Casey Kotchman got thrown out rounding rst
base after his high popup fell between a pair
of Oakland inelders for a single.
The As didnt have any such problems
against starter Justin Masterson (9-11).
Oakland scored in four consecutive innings
off the Cleveland right-hander, with Crisp
doing the most damage. He had had RBI sin-
gles in the third and sixth, sandwiched around
his three-run homer in the fth.
Masterson, who had a 1.38 ERA over his
previous two starts, allowed nine hits and
struck out ve while losing to the As for the
second time this season.
The Indians havent had a winning road trip
since taking two of three from the White Sox
in early May. They fell to 1-5 on their current
trip heading into a three-game series in Seattle
beginning Monday.
NOTES:
Grifn threw a second straight bullpen ses-
sion without pain and could come off the dis-
abled list Monday. ... RHP Ubaldo Jimenez
(9-12) will take a second try at earning his
10th victory for Cleveland in Mondays series
opener against Seattle. Jimenez has won at
least 10 games in each of the previous four
years. ... Oakland RHP Brandon McCarthy,
coming off his rst loss since April, pitches
for the As in Minnesota. McCarthy (6-4) is
unbeaten in four career starts against the
Twins.
AS
The MLBPA has clearly stated that ACES
has no connection to the website or this mat-
ter and, as reported, Juan Nunez has taken
full responsibility for his acts, Seth Levinson
told the Associated Press. There is nothing
more we can add and we will allow our repu-
tation in the industry for 27 years to speak for
itself.
The second baseball official said MLB
intends to ask the Major League Baseball
Players Association, which regulates agents,
to follow up on the situation at ACES.
Cabrera was enjoying the best season of his
big league career, helping the Giants contend
for a postseason berth. He was hitting .346
with 11 homers and 60 RBIs, but will miss
the rest of the regular season and the start of
the playoffs, if the Giants advance that far.
A former member of the New York
Yankees, Atlanta Braves and Kansas City
Royals, Cabrera is eligible for free agency
after the World Series.
San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy
declined to discuss the allegations against
Cabrera before the Giants played the Padres
in San Diego. He didnt defend his players
actions, either.
You can be world-class parents and your
kids can go south or have some issues. We
cant follow guys 24/7, and it comes down to
choices. (Cabrera) is a grown man, hes a vet-
eran, Bochy said. These are unfortunate
things and well continue to work at cleaning
out baseball.

INDIANAPOLIS A new NCAA proposal
could change the way college tennis is played
and current players arent happy about it.
The move is intended to shorten matches
with a new tiebreaker format and modify the
NCAA tournament format in hopes of giving
the sport more exposure. The governing bodys
Championships/Sports Management Cabinet
will consider the proposal at next months reg-
ularly-scheduled meeting in Indianapolis.
If approved, beginning in 2014, all singles
matches would be contested in a best-of-three
set format with a super tiebreaker used in the
third set. The rst player to 10 would win the
match. Doubles matches would use a six-game
set with a tiebreaker at six-all.
In addition, warm-ups with opponents would
be eliminated and the time between
changeovers would be reduced from 90 seconds
to 60 seconds.
Players dont like it one bit.
Stanfords Nicole Gibbs, the reigning NCAA
womens champ, wrote on Twitter: I play ten-
nis for tennis, not for tv coverage and frat boy
attendance. Playing a tb for a third set compro-
mises the integrity of the sport!
And the U.S. Tennis Association and
Intercollegiate Tennis Association have said
they intend to send a formal letter opposing the
changes to the NCAA this week.
The USTA is aware of the proposed format
changes being made by the NCAA Division I
Mens and Womens Tennis Committee to the
NCAA Division I Mens and Womens Tennis
Championships, the statement said. Working
with the Intercollegiate Tennis Association
(ITA), the USTA is preparing a joint opposition
letter to these changes.
But in a statement sent to the Associated
Press, the NCAA contends the changes are
merely a reection of the memberships wishes.
The recommendations are based on consen-
sus from Division I coaches that a change was
necessary to reduce the current length of dual
matches and to bring greater exposure to col-
lege tennis through fan support and media
opportunities, while also not lessening the par-
ticipation and preserving doubles play a pri-
ority for student-athletes and coaches alike,
the statement said.

BROOKLYN, Mich. Jimmie
Johnson looked as if he had already n-
ished the hardest work. After starting at
the back of the pack, he had moved up
quickly, and when he passed Brad
Keselowski for the lead on lap 191 of
200, his No. 48 Chevrolet seemed to be
the superior car.
Then Johnsons engine faltered with
only six laps remaining. He lost the race
and the NASCAR Sprint Cup points
lead to Greg Bife on Sunday.
I got it turned around and was catch-
ing him, and then his engine failed,
Bife said. It was going to be a great
race, no matter what. I felt like I could
catch him, but well never know. Passing
him might have been a different story.
Biffle won the race at Michigan
International Speedway, taking advan-
tage when Johnson left the track because
of engine trouble. Johnson started the
race from the back because of an engine
change, and he couldnt hold on at the
end. He nished 27th.
After Johnsons mishap, there was a
caution for oil on the track. Bife held
off Keselowski by 0.416 seconds in the
green-white-checkered nish.
Bife took over the points lead, while
Johnson dropped from rst to fourth.
Matt Kenseth moved up a spot to second
despite a 17th-place showing.
I know that a lot of people dont
expect us to win the championship, and
dont expect us to compete for the title,
Bife said. I dont care what they say or
who they want to talk
about, but we will be
a factor when it
comes down to
Homestead. I prom-
ise you that.
Kasey Kahne n-
ished third in the
400-mile race, fol-
lowed by Dale
Earnhardt Jr. and
Marcos Ambrose.
It was the 12th victory for Roush
Fenway Racing at MIS, breaking a tie
with the Wood Brothers for the most
wins at the track.
Pole sitter Mark Martin was sailing
along in the lead for most of the rst 65
laps before his race ended in scary fash-
ion. Bobby Labonte went into a spin
while Martin was coming up from
behind, and Martin went sliding off
toward pit road. His car crashed fright-
eningly into the end of a short, narrow
barrier on the interior side of pit road.
The side of Martins car was essential-
ly impaled by the end of the wall, just in
front of the left rear tire and dangerous-
ly close to the drivers seat. But in the
smoky scene that followed, Martin was
able to get out and walk away.
I really feel that was a freak accident.
Im not sure you can ever completely x
something like that, Martin said. That
was a pretty freak angle that I got it. Im
not sure what you can do. It could have
been really bad if I would have got into
that hole a little deeper where it would
have caught me in the door instead of the
crush area back there.
Johnson started
from the back, and
so did Earnhardt,
who was using a
backup car after a
mishap in practice
Saturday. The two
H e n d r i c k
Motorsports team-
mates made a solid
run of it, but it was
Bife and his No. 16
Ford that emerged at the end.
Johnson did not speak to reporters
afterward. He was trying to become the
rst driver to reach four victories this
season. Keselowski and Tony Stewart
also have three, and drivers will earn
bonus points in the Chase for the Sprint
Cup for regular-season victories.
The Chase starts next month.
The 48 has the most speed and the
best history as far as the Chase is con-
cerned, Keselowski said. We caught a
lucky break that was unfortunate for
Jimmie. ... He denitely deserved to win
the race. Just didnt play out that way.
It was Bifes second win of the year
and third career victory at MIS.
Keselowski, racing in his home state,
settled for second place for the second
straight week.
Just a great day, Keselowski said. I
dont know what to say other than I was
this close to getting what would have
been one of the biggest wins of my
career. That would have been really spe-
cial.
Bifes victory was his 18th on the
Cup circuit.

BROOKLYN, Mich. Brad Keselowski was in the mid-
dle of a news conference after his second-place nish
Sunday in the NASCAR Sprint Cup race
when he became distracted by a replay
on TV.
It was Mark Martins car slamming
violently into the end of a short, narrow
barrier on pit road during the rst half of
the race.
Whoa. Damn, Keselowski said,
stopping in the middle of an answer to a
reporters question. Thats the rst time
Id seen that. Jeez. My God.
Martin walked away from his crash at
Michigan International Speedway, but the side of his car
was essentially impaled by the end of the wall, raising ques-
tions about whether that spot a gap in the barrier on pit
road that leaves the edge of the wall exposed creates a
safety risk.
Could have been a lot worse than it was, Keselowski
said. Over the course of time, we get complacent and think
that weve hit all the buttons on the safety side. Then you
see something like that. It shows why you have to never quit
working at making these cars and tracks safer because that
could have been a lot worse, whether it was for Mark or for
the crew members or anybody.
MIS later released a statement.
The safety of the drivers is paramount, a spokeswoman
said. So we will seek NASCARs opinion and work with
them on any recommendations they may have on how we
can improve any part of the competition area that
includes pit road, pit wall, the track, anything competition-
related.
Martin was the pole sitter and led most of the rst 65 laps
of the race which ended abruptly for him.
I was hoping that I was going to miss the pit wall com-
pletely and not tear the car up, but then I saw that the angle
I was going that I was going to hit the end of pit wall,
Martin said.
Martins crash could
have been far worse

BAGHDAD A bomb struck the convoy
of a senior Sunni cleric in western Baghdad
on Sunday, killing four and critically wound-
ing the anti-extremist Muslim leader, police
said.
The attack highlights the threats faced by
relatively moderate Sunni clerics whom the
Shiite-led government needs to help rebuild
the country and establish security. It follows
a series of assaults in what is becoming an
increasingly bloody month.
The blast in the capitals Yarmouk neigh-
borhood left Sheik Mahdi al-Sumaidaie
badly hurt, a Sunni religious official said.
The cleric had just finished leading prayers
at a nearby mosque to mark the beginning of
the Eid al-Fitr holiday, which follows the
holy month of Ramadan.
Al-Sumaidaie has sided with the govern-
ment against Sunni extremists. Earlier this
year, he called for a unified religious author-
ity to bridge the gap between Iraqs Sunnis
and Shiites. Insurgents often target Sunni
clerics seen as working closely with the
Shiite-led government.
Two police officers and a hospital official
confirmed the attack. They said four of the
clerics bodyguards were killed and three
others were wounded.
All officials spoke on condition of
anonymity because they were not authorized
to release the information.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki con-
demned the attack. In a statement posted on
his website, the Shiite leader said the attack
was aimed at spreading
sedition and silencing any
patriotic moderate voice.
Even as we condemn
this ugly crime, we are
confident that our people
are aware of the evil goals
of such schemes, he said.
Al-Sumaidaie was one
of the Sunni religious
leaders who called on fol-
lowers to fight U.S.-led
forces after the 2003 invasion. He estab-
lished a conservative Salafi group based in
one of the mosques on Baghdads Sunni-
dominated western side.
After U.S. troops left, his group was
among those who laid down their weapons
and sided with the government against Sunni
extremists. Since then, he has urged follow-
ers to support the government for the sake of
security and to help rebuild the country.
Violence fueled by sectarian differences
has declined in Iraq since its height between
2005 and 2008, though deadly attacks con-
tinue to occur almost daily and have picked
up in recent weeks. About 200 people have
been killed since the start of August.
On Thursday, a relentless assault across
the country killed at least 93 people and
wounded many more. It was the second
deadliest day in Iraq since U.S. troops left in
December. No group has claimed responsi-
bility for that wave of killings, but it bore the
hallmarks of al-Qaidas Iraqi branch.
The local al-Qaida franchise, known as the
Islamic State of Iraq, has vowed to make a
comeback in areas it once held before the
U.S. and its local allies pushed it out.

ISLAMABAD American
drones red a urry of missiles in a
Pakistani tribal area bordering
Afghanistan Sunday, killing a total
of 10 suspected militants, Pakistani
ofcials said.
In the rst strike, missiles red
from unmanned American spy
planes hit two vehicles near the
Afghan border, killing at least seven
militants, Pakistani intelligence of-
cials said.
The strike came in the Mana area
of North Waziristan, the ofcials
added.
The ofcials say the area is domi-
nated by Haz Gul Bahadur, a com-
mander whose forces often strike
U.S. troops in Afghanistan, but they
did not know whether his men were
the targets of Sundays strike. A U.S.
drone strike Saturday also in North
Waziristan killed ve Gul Bahadur
allies.
About 10 hours later on Sunday,
two missiles destroyed a home also
in the Mana area, killing three mili-
tants, the ofcials said.
All ofcials spoke on condition of
anonymity because they are not
authorized to speak to the media.
The drone program is hotly con-
tested in Pakistan.
Most Pakistanis feel the strikes
violate the countrys sovereignty and
kill innocent civilians. The U.S.
maintains they are directed against
militants and necessary to combat
groups like al-Qaida.
North Waziristan is one of the last
tribal areas in northwestern Pakistan,
where the military has yet to launch
an operation to root out militants.
The area has become a safe haven for
ghters who use it as a base from
which to attack American and NATO
troops in Afghanistan.
The U.S. has urged Pakistan
repeatedly to conduct a military
operation there, and earlier this week
U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon
Panetta told the Associated Press that
Pakistan was preparing an operation
targeting the Pakistani Taliban in
North Waziristan.
Pakistan has yet to conrm this.
The country has been reluctant to
undertake an offensive there, saying
its military is already overtaxed by
ghting in other tribal areas and parts
of Pakistan.

any people volunteer at an animal
shelter and cherish their weekly or
daily fur x. They need hands-on
work. And, without question, shelters includ-
ing ours could not function as we do and do
all our good work for the animals without them.
Other people, however, love what shelters do,
but dont look into volunteering because they
assume its all about walking dogs and socializ-
ing cats, they have allergies or they know they
would go home every day with another rescue
pet! Most shelters have a variety of roles for
folks who either dont want to visit in person or
want something a little less, uh, furry, when
they visit. Organizations hold special events
and can always use volunteers for setup, tear-
down and other event logistics. While many
shelters are about just dogs and cats, others
have a wider scope; those volunteers who are
true cat people and fear they will adopt every
cat they see, may not have the same attachment
toward rabbits and would love learning about
and working with a new species. PHS/SPCA is
somewhat unique in that we have dogs, cats,
smaller domestic animals, birds, reptiles and
wildlife. If you like children or have teaching
experience, you could become a docent or
community ambassador. We regularly need vol-
unteers to visit schools (with their own pets)
and help at our summer camp. If you like sell-
ing, check out retail opportunities. PHS/SPCA
has a retail store, Furchandise, and resale store,
Pick of the Litter. If your smile is your best fea-
ture and you like meeting people, we can use
greeters at our Center for Compassion. I got
my mom involved in this role; each shift is a
new adventure. Of course, we also have lone
wolves who want to get involved. Fostering an
animal is a great role for them. We also have
volunteers who help distribute iers, newslet-
ters or help with clerical tasks.

LOS ANGELES Sylvester Stallone and
his beefy buddies have muscled their way to the
top of the weekend box ofce.
Stallones action hero roundup The
Expendables 2 debuted at No. 1 with $28.8
million, according to studio estimates Sunday.
Thats down from the $34.8 million start for
The Expendables two years ago.
The Lionsgate sequel elbowed out another
action tale as Universals The Bourne Legacy
fell to No. 2 in its second weekend with $17
million. That was a steep 55 percent drop from
its $38.1 million opening weekend, though the
movies domestic total climbed to a solid $69.6
million.
Three other wide releases opened to modest
business.
Focus Features animated comedy
ParaNorman, about a boy leading the ght
against zombies that rise from the grave, was
No. 3 with $14 million.
Sonys music remake Sparkle, featuring
American Idol winner Jordin Sparks and
Whitney Houston, was No. 5 with $12 million.
The update of the 1976 movie centers on three
sisters who form a singing group in the late
1960s.
Disneys family fantasy The Odd Life of
Timothy Green was No. 7 with $10.9 million.
The movie stars Jennifer Garner and Joel
Edgerton as a childless couple who become
instant parents to a boy that magically appears
in their lives.
The newcomers and holdovers combined to
lift Hollywoods overall business. Domestic
revenues totaled $139 million, up 12 percent
from the same weekend last year, when The
Help led with $20 million, according to box-
ofce tracker Hollywood.com.
Business had been down the previous three
weekends this summer, which has fallen short
of the record-setting business many studio exec-
utives were predicting at the start of the season.
Since the rst weekend of May, revenues total
$3.9 billion, down 5 percent from last sum-
mers, when Hollywood nished with an all-
time high of $4.4 billion for the season, accord-
ing to Hollywood.com.
This summer delivered huge hits such as
The Avengers with $617.6 million domesti-
cally and The Dark Knight Rises, which took
in $11.1 million this weekend to cross the $400
million mark and edge past The Hunger
Games to become the years second-biggest
hit.
But other releases such as Dark Shadows,
Battleship, The Watch and Total Recall
were duds that failed to live up to the summers
hype.
With only two weekends left in the season
and no obvious hits premiering, its unlikely
that Hollywood will break last summers
record.
Were winding down the summer and were
in the dog days of August. Theyre called that
for a reason, because were experiencing the
typical summer slowdown, only it seems worse
this year, said Hollywood.com analyst Paul
Dergarabedian.
The Expendables 2 also pulled in $17.3
million overseas.
Along with Stallone, The Expendables 2
cast includes Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce
Willis, Jason Statham, Chuck Norris and Jean-
Claude Van Damme.

Behind-the-scenes
sensory tour at Cavalia
A group from The Vista Center
for the Blind and Visually
Impaired experienced a hands-on,
behind-the-scenes sensory tour of
the equine extravaganza Cavalia: A
Magical Encounter Between
Human and Horse Aug. 17 as they
were guided through activities that
included grooming the horses and
feeding them carrots, learning about
custom-made horseshoes, sitting in
a trick riding saddle and listening to
a horses heartbeat with a stetho-
scope. The tour ended in the Cavalia
warm-up tent, where students and
their chaperones stood in a tight cir-
cle while Cavalia riders rode their
steeds at a full 30 mph gallop
around the group. The students were
able to feel the ground quake
beneath the incredible power of the
horses. Each participant was sent
home with a Cavalia horse of his or
her very own of the fuzzy, plush
variety and a used horseshoe
from one of the shows equine stars.
The Vista Center for the Blind and
Visually Impaired serves individu-
als of all ages in San Mateo, Santa
Clara, Santa Cruz and San Benito
counties who are threatened by loss
of independence due to moderate or
severe vision impairment. Through
a variety of programs, including ori-
entation and mobility classes, com-
puter training, counseling and sup-
port groups, daily living skills, and
Braille courses, as well as recre-
ational and educational youth group
events, The Vista Center hopes to
empower individuals who are blind
or visually impaired to live life to
the fullest. For more information

Family Owned & Operated
Established: 1949
this month against Genentech by a former
worker who claims she was wrongfully ter-
minated after blowing the whistle on the
company risking the health of clinical trial
participants in its rush to get a cancer drug to
market.
In Noorzais case, according to the suit, the
company failed to prevent harassment and
discrimination, intentionally inicted emo-
tional distress and ultimately terminated her
employment.
Ironically, Genentech has an explicitly
enumerated policy that they wont tolerate
discrimination and if it happens theyll take
care of it right away. My client took all of the
procedures and followed them just the way
she was directed to and the response was, to
put it mildly, quite disappointing, said
Arthur Angel, Noorzais attorney.
Genentech issued a statement denying any
wrongdoing and asserting it acted properly
and lawfully with respect to Nadia Noorzais
employment. The company declined further
comment, citing the pending litigation.
Noorzai worked for Genentech between
October 2006 and August 2011 as a function-
al manager of clinical trials and a senior man-
ager/functional manager of study manage-
ment. Noorzai received strong job perform-
ance evaluations and was named manager of
the year in 2009, according to the suit.
However, after her direct managers posi-
tion became vacant beginning around
February 2010, Noorzais suit claims a fellow
employee began a campaign of derogatory
comments and belittling in front of other
workers. The suit claims the woman asked
Noorzai, a Muslin whose family is from
Afghanistan, if they belonged to the Taliban
and if she was on the no-y list.
The suit claims Noorzai asked the woman
repeatedly to stop and approached human
resources but was told to start informally with
her manager. His response to her consider-
able distress was advising her to chill out
and have a vodka, the suit states.
Noorzai claimed the human resources
department failed to launch a valid investiga-
tion, leaving her in a hostile work environ-
ment in which the harassment escalated. In
May 2011, on the advice of two doctors, she
took unpaid medical leave and eventually had
her disability claim denied, the suit states.
While still on leave, Noorzai was
informed her office had moved next to that
of the other worker and she could not return
to her job, the suit states. Although Noorzai
resigned, the suit said it was a constructive
termination by Genentech because the com-
pany had not remedied the situation and fur-
ther created an intolerable situation with
the relocation.
Noorzais suit calculates having lost
$40,000 in wages during the medical leave, a
22 percent bonus worth $33,000 and $18,000
for a six-week paid sabbatical. Noorzai found
other employment at lower compensation and
benefits which she said created at least
$250,000 in lost wages and incurred at least
$750,000 in out-of-pocket medical expenses
and loss of enjoyment of life.
The suit seeks $1.1 million in actual dam-
ages, $3 million in punitive damages and
other costs such as attorney fees.
LAWSUIT
Health put several capital projects including
the San Carlos Center on hold because of the
economy. In November 2010, the Sutter
Health Board of Directors gave the green light
to start again. Some cleanup efforts of the site
home of a former microwave tube manu-
facturer were done even as the project was
paused but more work began last January on
the 18.1-acre parcel.
In April, the project got the nal go-ahead
when the state water board found the environ-
mental remediation requirements properly
met. A month later, the project broke ground.
When nished, the 192,260-square-foot San
Carlos Center will include an urgent-care cen-
ter, 75 primary physicians and specialists with
the capacity to increase to 120, an on-site lab-
oratory and pharmacy, space for outpatient
surgery and a cafe.
Hospital ofcials have estimated the rst
phase will cost approximately $210 million.
In contrast, the original plan by PAMF for
San Carlos was a $550 million complex
involving a 110-bed hospital, outpatient clinic
and medical ofces and 1,000-space parking
garage. In 2007, the blueprint dropped to a 91-
bed hospital with 120 on-site doctors and 826
other staffers instead of 1,137.

were collected in the Crystal Springs Hotel
(now under water below the Crystal Springs
Reservoir, at Abby House and at
McDougalls house in Belmont. Two-hun-
dred-and-ninety-seven votes were suppos-
edly collected at the Crystal Springs Valley,
although only 25 people lived in the area.
The vote excluded any women in the area
as women did not yet have the right to vote.
The toughs that Mulligan and Lilly had
associated with took over the polling
places. They brought ballot boxes with false
bottoms with signed ballots that could be
taken out when the counting began at the
end of the day. The overseers at the voting
places were not known to the local citizens
and when asked who they were did not pro-
vide adequate answers other than that they
were in charge. When the votes were tabu-
lated at Abby House, 500 votes were cast in
an area with only 50 potential voters.
Belmont registered 1,800 votes.
The total vote was a farce. It was contested
in court almost immediately and the state
Supreme Court ruled the vote illegal not
because of the ballot stufng but due to the
fact that the election had occurred too early
(before July) and without a specic enabling
clause that stated this fact. Many of the gang-
backed candidates had actually lost in this
vote. Eventually, new elections were set for
May 1857 and all of the incumbents who
were still around were returned except for the
assessor, who chose not to run. Thus the
county of San Mateo was begun in political
turmoil.
For a more extensive recounting of the
facts surrounding the birth of San Mateo
County, read San Mateo County, A
Sesquicentennial History, by Mitch Postel,
director of the San Mateo History Museum.
It is available at the San Mateo County
History Museum book store. It is a good and
entertaining presentation of an exciting peri-
od of history.
Rediscovering the Peninsula by Darold Fredricks
appears in the Monday edition of the Daily Journal.
HISTORY
She was surprised to learn it was just a couple
blocks from where she lives. As Maria
Amundson, general manager of the Silicon
Valley Edelman, tells it, Gilmore visited and
wanted to know who ran the place. The two
then had lunch.
Connecting with Rita has been a wonderful
gift for our ofce, bringing Edelmans her-
itage right here to Baldwin Avenue,
Amundson said. She still embodies all the
qualities that make a great Edelman employee
smarts, integrity and a can-do attitude
and its really wonderful for all of us to see
that these qualities are every bit as important
as they were 60 years ago.
Gilmore grew up in the Chicago area. She
was intrigued by journalism after visiting her
uncle who had a small community paper.
When she was 8 or 9, he would allow Gilmore
to put her spelling skills to work by editing
copy. Gilmore did get a job at the Chicago
Tribune in the advertising department. With
no indication that shed be able to get her foot
into the editorial side, Gilmore took a chance
by joining Dan Edelman as one of the rst
employees in the Chicago ofce in 1952.
Her talent wasnt lost on Edelman. In 1956,
with the New York ofce not doing well,
Edelman asked Gilmore to run the place.
He told me, if you cant get it in the black,
Im going to close it, Gilmore recalled over
lunch.
About a year after moving to New York, she
met Robert Gilmore, who would be her hus-
band. It all started with a zipper.
During the summer months, many people
head out of Manhattan. Gilmore was still in
town. She had spent nearly her whole pay-
check on a new little black dress which she
still maintains was worth every penny that
she planned to wear for a date. Unfortunately,
the zipper got stuck while she was getting
dressed. With all her girlfriends out of town,
and the ladies in the building not answering
their phones, Gilmore knocked on the door of
a neighbor. She had thought a woman lived at
the address but Robert Gilmore answered.
He had asked if she wanted the zipper up or
down, Gilmore recalled with a laugh. The two
didnt start to date right away but had a prop-
er date after a couple drinks together. When
they were ready to marry, she gave Edelman
plenty of notice. By the time she left, the New
York ofce was growing. Today it has more
than 700 employees and serves as the compa-
nys global headquarters.
The Gilmores moved to California, eventu-
ally had children and she became a travel
agent. Gilmore remains an active travel agent
today, going into the Ethan Allen Travel ofce
in San Mateo twice a week. Shes visited 50
states, 103 countries and seven continents. In
January, shell take her 41st thats not a
typo cruise. This time to Guatemala. Her
travel to-do list isnt long but there are still
some islands she wouldnt mind visiting.
Shes particularly enjoyed getting back in
touch with Edelman. At a recent ofce func-
tion, Gilmore addressed a group of 300. She
will even travel to Chicago this fall to cele-
brate the companys 60th anniversary.
In the meantime, Gilmore will stay busy
with travel, work and, most recently, a writing
class.
If ever given the chance, consider having
lunch with her. Shes a delight to chat with and
full of stories like how she ended up with a
baseball signed by Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth
in the 30s. At the encouragement of her
father, she sought the autographs of the two
players at a game. Today, the ball is locked
away. Gilmore gures, should she ever need
money, the ball might be worth a pretty penny.

options in the corporate world.
Getting to know job options is the goal of
the six-week summer program that hosted 32
students this year. Although most people asso-
ciate medical work with the health care eld,
all businesses have other positions. This eld
is no different. In Milpitas, LifeScan works to
better the lives of people with diabetes.
Ho explained that on the business side of
things in his job he had a chance to look at the
real-life application of supply and demand.
But it wasnt just about the numbers, he said.
The company is working to support patients.
Ho was able to see the balance of those busi-
ness decisions rsthand. He went into the
internship with an interest in sales and mar-
keting. Ho left the internship with more con-
nections in the corporate world with whom he
could connect in the future.
In addition to companies, students can also
be placed at a school helping in a research
capacity. This year, students had a chance to
be placed at San Jose State University, Santa
Clara University and Cal State East Bay, said
Mary Lou Stuart, who does community rela-
tions for LifeScan.
Students also had a chance to visit other
companies like Intuitive Surgical in
Sunnyvale, which builds a platform for robiti-
cally assisted surgery.
Intuitive Surgical has been a great help
providing exciting hands-on tours while
bringing in the career diversity in the medical
device health care industry. We need to show
the variety of people needed in the eld, not
just MDs, but engineers, business, nance,
marketing, writers, legal and scientists, said
Katy Korsmeyer, Bridge to Employment
Silicon Valley administrator, Santa Clara
County Biotechnology Education Partnership
program director and Bay Area Biotechnology
Education Consortium president.
Students are denitely interested in the
opportunity to learn. This year, for example,
about 160 applications were received but only
a fraction of that could be served. Finding a
way to boost the number of slots is always a
priority for those involved.
BTE
MONDAY, AUGUST 20, 2012
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Generally, you should be
lucky when dealing with intangibles. However, this
might not hold up if and when you switch your inter-
ests to concrete factors.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Although you might start
out focusing on some conservative objectives, more
enterprising factors might be looming on the horizon,
causing you to become more daring.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- The formula for your
success calls for equal parts imagination and elbow
grease. Once you conceive a plan of action, get your
muscles working.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- An involvement that
had been wrested from your grip might be altered
again, enabling you to once more assume the reins.
This time, youll be more attentive.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Extra work-related
benefts are likely, owing to some help from people
whom youve helped in the past. The biggest aid will
come from those youve assisted the most.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The more deter-
mined, dedicated and consistent you become, the
luckier youll get. This is one of those days when
Lady Luck will be delighted to help out in more ways
than one.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- It behooves you to
make an effort to create goodwill among people with
whom you have a commercial arrangement pending.
This investment will yield tasty dividends.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Conditions are a trife
diffcult to read at present, making it appear as if
your luck benefts others more than it does you. In
reality, the opposite is likely to be true.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Even though you might
not be able to accomplish much unaided, with the
right help you should be able to take a sparse pos-
sibility and turn it into something quite grand.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Look around for an out-
let that would allow you to turn a hobby into a proft-
making enterprise. The possibilities are out there.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Being a bit of a risk
taker, you could go out on a limb in a chancy en-
deavor. Fortunately, your gamble will pay off.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Youre in for a pleasant
surprise when, as you begin to see things for what
they actually are, a matter youve been perceiving to
be negative starts looking like a winner.

There Is
New Hope!
A Health Center
Dedicated to
Severe Disc
Conditions
Youve seen the ads and heard the
radio commercials about my Non-
Surgical Spinal Decompression
treatment. At Crossroads Health
Center, Ive created an entire facility
dedicated to patients with severe disc
conditions that have not responded
to traditional care. My revolutionary,
Crossroads Method, provides a very
high success rate to patients with
serious back, neck, leg and arm pain
even when all else has failed. This
FDA cleared; non-surgical treatment
allows us to rehabilitate your
herniated or degenerative disc(s)
by reversing internal pressure and
enabling your disc(s) to heal from the
inside out. We succeed where other
treatments have failed by removing
the pressure that is causing pain to
your disc(s) and nerves without
drugs, injections, invasive surgery or
harmful side effects.
The only ofce to have
The Crossroads Method
This method which includes
computerized true disc
decompression is considered by
many doctors to be the most
advanced and successful non-
invasive treatment of serious back,
neck, leg or arm pain.
This procedure allows for a much
higher success rate by increasing
hydration of your discs, fexibility,
relaxation of muscles and ligaments
along with improving muscle and
core strength, balance and posture.
This results in a more effective and
lasting solution to your pain. There
are no side effects and no recovery
time is required.
This gentle and relaxing treatment
has proven to be effective even
when drugs, epidurals, traditional
chiropractic, physical therapy
and surgery have failed The
Crossroads Method has shown
dramatic results.
Patient Testimonials
During the 1 1/2 years of having
constant daily lower back pain and
spasms, I took anti-infammatory
and pain medication, but nothing
helped lessen the pain. When
an MRI showed that I had two
degenerative discs, I went through a
series of lumbar epidural injections
without success. The only thing
that made the pain and spasms go
away was Spinal Decompression
treatments at Crossroads Health
Center. Four years later and I am
still pain-free!
Lisa K.
My severe low back and sciatica
pain have been reduced signifcantly
since receiving spinal decompression
therapy at Crossroads Health Center.
I am now able to walk, golf, and do
things that I havent been able to do in
years! I would also like to say thanks
to Dr. Ferrigno and the offce staff as
they went above and beyond to make
sure my back problem was resolved. I
couldnt be happier!!

How Will I Know If I Qualify
for Treatment?
When you come in for a
complimentary consultation we will
ask a series of questions and perform
a comprehensive examination to
determine exactly where the pain is
coming from. If x-rays are necessary,
we can take them in our offce. Once
we determine the cause of your
pain we will let you know if we can
help you and if you qualify for our
treatment protocol.
If we dont feel like we can help we
will refer you to someone who can.
