Legislature gives PG&E protection
from its own bad behavior
H
ow would you
feel if au-
thorities gave
somebody with
a long rap sheet legal relief
from a lot of the mischief
it helped cause? No, I’m
not talking about our local
criminal justice system.
I’m referring to the
closing days of the most
recent session of the Cali-
fornia Legislature, which
decided at the start of the
Labor Day weekend to let
Pacific Gas and Electric
Co. off-load some of its
potential liability for ruin-
ous wildland fires onto its
customers.
It has been estimated
by Wall Street’s number
crunchers that PG&E may
be liable for up to $15
billion for damage done
by wildfires last year in
Napa, Sonoma and Sola-
no counties. Nine people
were killed and more than
15,000 structures were de-
stroyed in the fires.
Cal Fire has concluded
that PG&E was respon-
sible for 12 of those fires,
and referred its findings on
eight of the fires to county
district attorneys “due to
alleged violations of state
law.” That’s a lot of risk
for a company that carries
less than $1 billion in fire
insurance.
Under California’s ex-
isting strict liability and
inverse condemnation
laws, utility companies are
typically responsible for
providing compensation
for property damage if
their equipment causes a
fire, regardless of whether
any negligence is prov-
en. If utilities do nothing
wrong, the state Public
Utilities Commission al-
lows customer rates to rise
to offset loses for property
damage.
PG&E and the state’s
other electrical utilities
rolled out the big guns ear-
lier this year to get those
laws repealed or modi-
fied, arguing the liability
they face in our increas-
ingly fire-prone state will
eventually force them into
bankruptcy.
PG&E spent heavily on
lobbying and publicity
efforts in the last year, and
helped bankroll an outfit
called the BRITE Coali-
tion, which portrayed itself

Columnist
as a grassroots organiza-
tion pushing to reform
the state’s liability rules
concerning fires triggered
by utility equipment. You
probably saw the TV and
newspaper ads of this As-
troturf organization.
That effort died in the
state Legislature Aug. 18,
just 13 days before the end
of the session. But that
doesn’t mean there wasn’t
a Plan B teed up and ready
to go. That was SB 901,
which changed the rules
governing the liability of
utility companies when
their electrical equipment
causes wildfires.
The bill was described
There are several problems with the bill,
which was rushed into print just three
days before the final vote.
by its sponsor, state Sen.
Bill Dodd (D-Napa), as a
“comprehensive approach”
that protects both wildfire
victims and utility ratepay-
ers. “Let me be very clear:
If we do not provide a debt
stabilizing mechanism for
a utility — in this case,
PG&E — the corporation
will certainly face higher
borrowing costs, which will
translate into higher rates.
Or this company may very
well face bankruptcy.”
The final bill crafted by a
Senate-Assembly confer-
ence committee included
several provisions that are
drawing criticism:
■ For the 2017 fires, the
PUC will conduct a “stress
test” to determine the max-
imum amount of damag-
es a utility could sustain
without harming rate-
payers or going bankrupt.
That amount would serve
as a “cap” on their fiscal
liability.
■ Costs passed along
to ratepayers for the 2017
fires could be financed
— spread out over sever-
al years under a process
called “securitization” — to
Sometimes people need
to sleep in their cars
This morning as I was
parked waiting for an office
to open, I was listening to
the NPR news and learned
that if I was sitting in my
car in a legal parking space,
I would be vulnerable to a
policeman asking to see my
license.
I was baffled. I’m a legal
driver. It seems that I was
impinging on the rights of
nearby residents.
The news continued to say
that my car could be towed
away and impounded. It
could well cost me thousands
reduce the sticker shock on
ratepayers’ monthly utility
bills. In reality, that means
bonds that will be paid off
by you and me.
■ For fires caused by
utility equipment starting
in 2019, the PUC will de-
cide whether a utility acted
responsibly. If so, the PUC
could pass the costs onto
ratepayers.
There are several prob-
lems with the bill, which
was rushed into print just
three days before the final
vote. A lot of discretion in
determining who’s liable
and for how much rests
with the PUC, which has
been known to bow to po-
litical pressure. Determin-
ing how much liability a
utility can bear should keep
plenty of accountants and
auditors working overtime.
The bill is silent on the
rules governing fires that
started this year. Those
fires are currently sub-
ject to the current law the
utilities fought so hard to
change. Watch for what is
known in Sacramento as
“clean-up” legislation when
the legislature is back in
session.
“Legislators will give a
cap to rich PG&E share-
holders on how much to
pay for their negligence
but no cap for ratepayers,”
said a spokeswoman for
the Ratepayer Protection
Network, which represents
among others the agricul-
ture industry. “We can-
not give a blank check to
PG&E to bail them out on
the backs of ratepayers.”
“Shouldn’t we focus
on requiring PG&E to
improve the safety of its
electric system that they’ve
been neglecting all these
years? Instead, this bill re-
wards their bad behavior,”
said Sen. Jerry Hill (D, San
Mateo). “This bill allows
PG&E to pass their costs
onto ratepayers even if they
were negligible.”
Hill is particularly sen-
sitive to PG&E’s safety re-
cord. His district includes
San Bruno, where a PG&E
gas line exploded in 2010,

I realized that this was part
of a war against homeless
people who sleep in their car
and therefore are impinging
upon the rights of local res-
idents. Whatever happened
to “liberty and justice for
all?”
Subsequently I read a
magazine article regarding
the growing rate of unem-
ployment and the huge
number of people who can
no longer afford their rent.
I also have an elderly aunt
whose husband had died and
killing eight and destroy-
ing 38 houses. The utility
ended up settling several
lawsuits, paying a state fine
of $1.6 billion, and being
convicted in federal court
of violating pipeline safety
regulations and then “mis-
leading” investigators.
Still, the legislation
passed with bipartisan
support on the night before
the start of a three-day
weekend, and Gov. Jerry
Brown is expected to sign
it. Assemblyman Brian
Dahle (R, Bieber) helped
craft the bill on the confer-
ence committee that signed
off on the final measure.
“To do nothing would be
on us,” Dahle said. “We’ve
done something that’s not
perfect. But I think it’s a
step in the right direction.”
Sen. Ted Gaines apparently
didn’t buy that argument,
voting no on the measure.
“It’s not a bold bill, it’s not
a crisis bill,” he said. “If
the new normal is piles of
ash and funerals, then why
isn’t this bill massive and
ground-breaking.”
A bill like this requires
plenty of political cover, so
the measure also sets aside
$200 million annually
through 2023-24 for forest
health, fire prevention and
reduction of “fuel,” or trees
and vegetation, but future
legislatures will have to
approve the expenditure
every year.
The bill also includes
a provision that’s near
and dear to Dahle’s heart:
Authorization for utilities
to extend contracts with
biomass plants. We’ll
see if that’s enough to
satisfy Dahle’s constituents
when the utility bill for the
rest of the measure comes
due.

STATE
Lawmakers continue shift from mass incarceration
By Don Thompson
Associated Press
SACRAMENTO — The
recently completed Cali-
fornia legislative session
continued a yearslong effort
to lower criminal sentences,
ease restrictions on suspects,
and keep juveniles out of
adult prisons despite objec-
tions that the moves could
harm public safety.
From a nation-leading
reform measure that elim-
inates cash bail to restric-
tions on trying juveniles, a
major goal of Democratic
lawmakers this year was to
limit mass incarceration that
supporters say often dispro-
portionately affects women,
youth and minorities.
“All these bills are coming
to you because it’s time for us
to rectify a system that’s been
proven to not work, to not
rehabilitate adults, and that’s
been completely discrimina-
tory” to minorities, said Sen.
Ricardo Lara, a Los Ange-
les-area Democrat.
Lara successfully argued
for a bill prohibiting 14- and
15-year-olds from being sent
to adult prisons even for
crimes like murder, arson
and robbery.
The California District
Attorneys Association is
urging Brown to veto the bill.
It could set dangerous killers
free at 25 with little oppor-
tunity to keep even the most
threatening locked up, the
group argues.
Prosecuting people young-
er than 16 in adult court
should be rare, Sacramento
County District Attorney
Anne Marie Schubert said,
but judges should have that
discretion in the most seri-
ous cases.
Schubert and other DAs
came to Sacramento last
week to urge Brown to reject
the bill and to highlight the
case of Daniel Marsh, who
was 15 in 2013 when he
murdered and mutilated an
elderly couple in Davis.
“This was not a crime of
passion or juvenile impulse. It
was a well-planned and exe-
cuted random act of violence,”
said Mary Northup, the
daughter of one of Marsh’s
victims. “This is the exception
that proves (the bill) SB1391
would unleash a violent crim-
inal on our society.”
standard as the person who
carried out the killing. Critics
say the rule has been dispro-
portionately used against
poor and minority offenders
as well as youths and women
who are more likely to be
accomplices.
“It goes too far. It at this
point is nothing short of
shocking and an affront to
public safety,” said Michele
Hanisee, president of the
Association of Los Angeles
Deputy District Attorneys.
The felony murder bill “will
result in the release of mur-
derers, absolutely no ques-
tion about it,” she said, as
judges and juries try to sort
out who pulled the trigger.

Massive boom hopes to corral ocean’s plastic trash
By Olga R. Rodriguez
Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — En-
gineers are deploying a trash
collection device to corral
plastic litter floating be-
tween California and Hawaii
in an attempt to clean up the
world’s largest garbage patch
in the heart of the Pacific
Ocean.
The 2,000-foot (600-me-
ter) long floating boom is
being towed from San Fran-
cisco to the Great Pacific
Garbage Patch — an island
of trash twice the size of
Texas.
The system was created
by The Ocean Cleanup, an
organization founded by
Boyan Slat, a 24-year-old
innovator from the Nether-
lands who first became pas-
sionate about cleaning the
oceans when he went scuba
diving at age 16 in the Medi-
terranean Sea and saw more
plastic bags than fish.
“The plastic is really
persistent and it doesn’t go
away by itself and the time
to act is now,” Slat said, add-
ing that researchers with his
organization found plastic
going back to the 1960s and
1970s bobbing in the patch.
The buoyant, U-shaped
barrier made of plastic
and with a tapered 10-foot
(3-meter) deep screen, is
intended to act like a coast-
line, trapping some of the 1.8
trillion pieces of plastic that
scientists estimate are swirl-
ing in that gyre but allowing
marine life to safely swim
beneath it.
Fitted with solar power
lights, cameras, sensors and
satellite antennas, the clean-
up system will communi-
cate its position at all times,
allowing a support vessel to
fish out the collected plastic
every few months and trans-
port it to dry land where it
will be recycled, said Slat.
Shipping containers filled
with the fishing nets, plastic
bottles, laundry baskets and
other plastic refuse scooped
up by the system being de-
ployed Saturday are expect-
ed to be back on land within
a year, he said.
Slat said he and his team
will pay close attention to
whether the system works
efficiently and withstands
harsh ocean conditions, in-
cluding huge waves. He said
he’s most looking forward
to a ship loaded with plastic
coming back to port.
“We still have to prove the
technology... which will then
allow us to scale up a fleet of
systems,” he said.
The Ocean Cleanup,
which has raised $35 mil-
lion in donations to fund
the project, including from
Salesforce.com chief execu-
tive Marc Benioff and PayPal
co-founder Peter Thiel, will
deploy 60 free-floating bar-
riers in the Pacific Ocean by
2020.
“One of our goals is to
remove 50 percent of the
Great Pacific Garbage Patch
in five years,” Slat said.
The free-floating barriers
are made to withstand harsh
weather conditions and
constant wear and tear. They
A ship tows The Ocean Cleanup’s first buoyant trash-collecting device toward the Golden

will stay in the water for two
decades and in that time col-
lect 90 percent of the trash
in the patch, he added.
George Leonard, chief
scientist of the Ocean Con-
servancy, a nonprofit envi-
ronmental advocacy group,
said he’s skeptical Slat can
achieve that goal because
even if plastic trash can be
taken out of the ocean, a lot
more is pouring in each year.
“We at the Ocean Conser-
vancy are highly skeptical
but we hope it works,” he
said. “The ocean needs all
the help it can get.”
Leonard said 9 million
tons of plastic waste enter
the ocean annually and that
a solution must include a
multi-pronged approach,
including stopping plastic
from reaching the ocean and
more education so people re-
duce consumption of single
use plastic containers and
bottles.
“If you don’t stop plastics
from flowing into the ocean,
it will be a Sisyphean task,”
Leonard said, citing the
Greek myth of a task never
completed. He added that
on September 15 about 1
million volunteers around
the world will collect trash
from beaches and water-
ways as part of the Ocean
Conservancy’s annual Inter-
national Coastal Cleanup.
Volunteers last year collected
about 10,000 tons of plastics
worldwide over two hours,
he said.
Leonard also raised
concerns that marine and
wildlife could be entangled
by the net that will hang
ASSOCIATED PRESS
below the surface. He said
he hopes Slat’s group is
transparent with its data and
shares information with the
public about what happens
with the first deployment.
“He has set a very large
and lofty goal and we cer-
tainly hope it works but we
really are not going to know
until it is deployed,” Leonard
said. “We have to wait and
see.”
The system will act as a
“big boat that stands still in
the water” and will have a
screen and not a net so that
there is nothing for marine
life to get entangled with. As
an extra precautionary mea-
sure, a boat carrying experi-
enced marine biologists will
be deployed to make sure
the device is not harming
wildlife, Slat said.

Tips

Dekker
CDS in Pets
If your aging dog or cat starts
acting strange, don’t chalk it up to
old age or think he needs a refresher
course in potty training—make an ap-
pointment with your veterinarian.
Why? There may be several caus-
es for unusual behavior in senior pets,
including one most owners typically
don’t think about: cognitive dysfunc-
tion syndrome or CDS. A degenerative
inflammatory disease of the brain very
similar to Alzheimer’s, CDS affects
more than a third of dogs over age
11 and more than two-thirds over age
15. While cats are also affected, less
is known because fewer studies have
been conducted.
Senior pets should function men-
tally almost as well, if not as well, as
they did as youngsters. While older
pets may have moderate hearing
and/or sight impairment, they should
not have noticeable changes in their
mental activity. For pets with CDS,
however, it is another story. Pets suf-
fering from CDS may seem disorient-
ed, perhaps going to the wrong side of
the door when wanting to go outside
or wandering aimlessly around the
home. They may be restless or wake
at night and be less active during the
day. They may become anxious and
irritable. They may have decreased
interest in interacting or, just the
opposite, may become clingy. They
may also forget their house training
behaviors.
While research is advancing un-
derstanding of CDS, a cure has not yet
been found. However, there are ways
to slow its progress. Because the dis-
ease can be significant, a visit to the
veterinarian at the first sign of atypical
behavior is key.

IN BRIEF
CBS’ Les Moonves quits after
new sex misconduct charges
NEW YORK — CBS Chief Les
Moonves resigned Sunday,
just hours after six more
women accused the long-
time television executive of
sexual misconduct.
The resignation is effective
immediately, CBS said in
a statement posted on its
website Sunday night.
The New Yorker magazine
reported the latest allega-
tions included Moonves
forcing women to perform
oral sex and retaliating when
advances were turned away.
Moonves acknowledged
relations with three of the
women but said they were
consensual, adding he had
never used his position to
hurt the careers of women.
The network didn’t address
the allegations directly, but
said Moonves will donate
$20 million to one or more
organizations that support
the #MeToo movement and
equality for women in the
workplace.
“The donation, which will
be made immediately, has
been deducted from any sev-
erance benefits that may be
due Moonves,” the statement
said.

Brook’s love for art began
at an early age while grow-

Glastonbury, Connecticut.
At 23, she was accepted
into the prestigious Con-
necticut Society of Women
Painters and exhibited in
shows and galleries in New
York and New England.
Remarkably, she won more
than 20 awards in juried
shows in just three years.
“I carry images of my
future paintings around
in my head for weeks and
months at a time, letting
them dwell long enough to
consider all the possibili-
ties,” Brook later wrote in
her book, “Points of Inspi-

Brook says she feels for-

a new wave of young local
artists who have opened
their own businesses.
“People forget how
unique we are here — to
have so many business
owners who are selling the
products they create,” she
said. “Other people’s work
keeps me inspired. That’s
one of the reasons my own

While robots as portrayed in movies
past focused on domestic servants, the
real changes I see will be their effect in the
employment area with the substitution of
humans in the work force. This will also
then cause a shift in the industries people
are employed in.
With the perpetual rise in wages both
inflationary and by mandate (such as
minimum wage laws), the incentive for
businesses to replace live bodies with ma-
chines will increase over time. Also adding
to employee costs to businesses are taxes,
healthcare, sick leave, maternity leave and
more.
It seems that paychecks are forever
shrinking even as employment costs to
businesses are rising.
Additional considerations are such things addressing public opinion?
like robots don’t complain, don’t take sick
or maternity leave (except the occasional
breakdown), can work 24 hours a day and
don’t require other “facilities” that humans
do. Seemingly difficult realities to over-

Coupled with the fall in robot prices due
to manufacturing techniques caused by the

will mean the incentive to

businesses which will be

from apple production

Some examples would be

(self-driving cars) fewer storeroom clerks,
checkers and even teachers.
ROBOTS VS. HUMANS
The possibilities for robotic replacements
are enormous and will only increase over
time as robots get more and more sophis-
ticated and less costly to produce. Indeed
even designing and producing the robots
will likely be eventually automated. Few
industries will be spared the advancement.
The question then becomes multifaceted.

have expe-
rienced the
unexpect-
ed “telephone call” from a
hospital or loved one that
a sudden negative medical
event has occurred in-
volving a member of your
family.
The first thought always
goes to “Will they be OK?”
As your heart sinks into
the reality of the situation,
more and more issues race
through your mind. How
long will they be in a hos-
pital? Do they have to go
to a nursing home? Who
is able and willing to care
for them? The list goes on
and on.
A sudden medical crisis
within your family can turn
your life upside down if the
ill person was not prepared
with the correct documents
so their family members
can assist them with their
immediate and long-term
needs.
There are three docu-
ments that are critical in
dealing with a crisis:
■ A health care directive
■ A durable power of
attorney
■ A living trust

to the appropriate person
who is assuming respon-
sibility of the ill person.
The law also requires the
medical professional to per-
form lifesaving procedures
that can be painful and
unwanted if the wishes of
the ill person are not legally
documented. But the most
common need for this doc-
ument is not the need of the
immediate crisis at hand,
but rather the ongoing care
of the loved one who did
live and now is unable to
care for themselves without
assistance.
A medical directive al-
lows the appointed health-

cordance with their wishes.

Although Google wouldn’t com-
ment for this story, the company has
repeatedly pointed out that its most-
ly free products are so widely used
because people like them.
Google’s success often draws com-
parisons with Microsoft.
By 1998, the year Google start-
ed, U.S. regulators had become so
concerned about Microsoft’s power
through its Windows operating sys-
tem that they had begun to explore a
forced breakup. Although Microsoft
remained intact, the multiyear battle
with the U.S. government and other
disputes with European regulators
hobbled and distracted Microsoft,
helping to propel the rise of Google
and Apple.
Google is now confronting the
same potential fate.
“Google is in the government’s
crosshairs,” said Ken Auletta, who
was given inside access to the com-
pany while writing his 2009 book,
“Googled: The End of the World As
We Know It.” ‘’This company once
had a certain glow to it, but it is los-

IDENTIFY OTHER POSSIBLE
MEANINGS ABOUT THE
SITUATION OR STIMULUS
If someone attacks or calls us out in
a meeting, we may jump to the con-
clusion that they are disrespecting us
or trying to undermine us.
Other possible meanings could
include: They are fearing losing some-
thing; they are not understanding all
the information correctly; they are
feeling misunderstood; or, they don’t
know how to maturely express their
needs or desires.
By coming up with alternative
meanings, we can lesson our over re-
action to what is going on.
SETTLE INTO OUR POWER
If we answer the question: Who are
we without those ants? We will come
up with much of our core essence.

PURPOSE, GOAL, OR VISION
Henry Ford would say, “Obstacles
are those frightful things we see when
we take our eyes off of our goals.”
Nothing great ever came easy.
There are sure to be obstacles,
stumbling blocks, and detours along
the way to our desired success. When
we become the guardian of our de-
sired outcome, we are less likely to
be distracted or overwhelmed by the
ants.
Rather we stay inspired to achieve
the goal despite any ants.
This week, take a RISK and flick the
ants away.

done!

grantor(s). All these actions
can be taken without the
need for the court system
to intercede into the private
affairs of the grantor(s).
If the grantor is mar-
ried, usually the surviving
spouse continues to serve
as the sole trustee. If both
grantors are unable to
serve, the successor trust-
ee(s) then step in to assume
the responsibilities the
trust document outlines. In
times of crisis, assets can
be managed by successor
trustee(s) shortly after the
critical life changing inci-
dent occurs.
These three documents
are essential to the success-
ful and efficient administra-
tion of your affairs during
periods of crisis or incapac-
itation. Please consult your
legal council if you do not
have your estate affairs in
order. It is the most loving
thing you can do for your
family and friends.
Reduce your stress, and
theirs, to the best of your
ability.

2-0 series lead
SEATTLE — A lot of
Breanna Stewart in the
closing minutes and one
big defensive stop in the
final seconds has the
Seattle Storm on the cusp
of a third WNBA title.
Stewart scored nine
of her 25 points in the

seconds, and the Storm
held off the Washington
Mystics 75-73 on Sunday

WNBA Finals.
Seattle will head to

PRO FOOTBALL
San Francisco falls to Cousins, Vikings
By Dave Campbell
AP Pro Football Writer
MINNEAPOLIS — Kirk
Cousins gave the Minnesota
Vikings exactly what they
needed for a victorious debut
by their new quarterback.
The throws Cousins made
in tight coverage at import-
ant times were on target.
Unlike Jimmy Garoppolo, he
kept the ball out of the other
team’s hands.
Cousins passed for two
touchdowns and the Vikings
forced four turnovers, fueling
a 24-16 win over the San
Francisco 49ers on Sunday
that stuck Garoppolo with his
first loss in eight games as an
NFL starting quarterback.
PREP FOOTBALL
Cousins connected with
Stefon Diggs in the second
quarter and Kyle Rudolph in
the third quarter for scores,
and the defense finished the
job with three sacks and three
second-half interceptions of
Garoppolo. Mike Hughes
turned one pick into a 28-
yard touchdown return, the
first by a rookie in a Vikings
season opener.
“I’m so grateful for this op-
portunity that I’ve been given,
and I just want to make good
on it with every chance I get,”
said Cousins, who had no
turnovers.
Harrison Smith sealed
the game with an intercep-
tion with 1:35 left . He also
recovered a fumble by Alfred
Morris at the 2-yard line after
Linval Joseph stripped the
ball just in front of the goal
line in the late in the first half
and sacked Garoppolo on a
third-down safety blitz late in
the fourth quarter .
“It was pretty smooth sail-
ing there for a while,” Vikings
coach Mike Zimmer said,
“and it was good to find the
fight and the heart that we
had there at the end.”
Garoppolo finished 15 for
33 for 261 yards and a touch-
down pass to rookie Dante
Pettis late in the third quarter.

Del Potro spoke this

climbed up the rankings
to a career-high No. 3 by
thundering his 100 mph
forehands and 135 mph

Those produce free points

49ERS
From page C1
receiver Marquise Goodwin,
Garoppolo was unable to cap-
italize on the opportunity for
a comeback after the 49ers
defense forced three straight
three-and-out possessions by
the Vikings to start the fourth
quarter. DeForest Buck-
ner had 2½ sacks for San
Francisco.
“We knew it was going to
be a tough challenge with the
environment, going against a
tough team,” Garoppolo said.
“They stood up to everything
we thought they would, but
with all the things that went
bad we still had a shot at the
end there. Just a tough way
to end it.”
Cousins went 20 for 36 for
244 yards, targeting Adam
Thielen 12 times. Thielen
caught six passes for 102
yards.
“He played the way he
always does,” said cornerback
Richard Sherman, who made
his 49ers debut. “Efficient.
Doesn’t make a lot of mis-
takes. He’s poised and doesn’t
get rattled.”
Vikings running back
Dalvin Cook caught six passes
for 55 yards. He said Cousins
was “locked in” from the start.
“I like to see a guy next to
me with that look in his eyes,”
Cook said.
TOO KITTLE TOO LATE
Tight end George Kittle
had five catches for 90 yards,
but the one he didn’t make
for the 49ers stood out. Wide
open after beating Anthony
Barr up the seam, Kittle had
what would’ve been a 30-
yard completion fall off his
fingers at midfield. The third-
down interception by Hughes
came next to give the Vikings
a 17-3 lead.
“Misjudged it,” Kittle said.
“Thought it was a little closer
to me. Probably ran a bit too
far with my arms out. Just a
bad play.”
MINNESOTA MEMORIES
Fred Zamberletti, the
team’s original athletic
trainer who died last week at
age 86, was honored with a
pregame moment of silence.
The Vikings also staged a
20th anniversary tribute to
the 1998 squad that went
15-1 and reached the NFC
championship game. Robert
Smith, one of 28 former play-
ers who were introduced at
halftime, received the loudest
ovation. He focused on the
current team at the end of his
speech.
“We want to see them
accomplish something that
we weren’t able to do,” Smith
told the crowd, “and we want
them to do it for you.”

ADVICE
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
It’s my party
Dear Annie: I’m planning
my birthday party. I’m rent-
ing out a room in a beautiful
bar/event space downtown.
I’ve got about 15 friends
coming. Recently, in pass-
ing, I mentioned to one of
my friends that I’d ordered
a cake from a bakery for the
occasion. She said, “You’re
getting your own cake? You
shouldn’t do that! That’s
sad!” I told her I was happy
to do it. And no, I don’t
think she said that because
she was planning on making
me a cake. I think she was
just appalled by the idea of
someone providing her own
birthday cake.
To me, it just makes sense.
I know I like having cake
with friends on my birthday,
and when I know I’d really
like something, I like to take
care of it myself. I can’t ex-
pect anyone else to read my
mind and do something for
me. And I would never ask
a friend to make me a cake,
because that just seems
deranged. Plus, I don’t want
to put anyone through the
trouble. I am a big girl and
can make my own cake. But
does bringing cake to my
own birthday party make
me a control freak? — Hap-

HEALTH
Preserve immobilized limb’s muscle strength
Dear Doctor: My son, who
plays several sports, recently
broke his right arm. Now
he’s worried that the mus-
cles will waste away while it
heals. I read that exercising
his left arm could help his
broken arm. When I told
him this, he scoffed. It does
seem crazy, but is it true?
Dear Reader: Improbable
as it sounds, a new study
found that when a limb
on one side of the body is
immobilized, as in the case
of your son’s broken arm,
it’s possible to preserve
muscle strength and size by
exercising the correspond-
ing limb on the other side of
the body.
This is a phenomenon
known as “cross educa-
tion,” which has been
written about since at least
1894. Since then, a num-
ber of studies have backed
up the existence of cross
education.
In this newest study,
researchers in Canada
studied the forearms of 16
male and female college
students for four weeks.
All were right-handed, and
none had recent experience
with resistance training.
Using CT scans, ultrasound
and a weight machine, the
researchers measured the
HOROSCOPE
IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTH-
DAY: Communicate, share
and build your dreams with
the people you love. Look to
the future with optimism,
hope and a desire to make a
difference. Change is within
reach; all you have to do is
make it happen. Use your
imagination, strength and
courage to take charge.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22): Make the choice to do
all you can. Bringing about
change is never easy, but the
satisfaction you gain by doing
something good will be yours
to keep forever.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23):
Listen carefully and make
amendments to whatever
doesn’t sit well with you.
Honesty and openness will
help you avoid stress caused
by always trying to please
everyone around you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22): Personal changes will
energize you. Whether it’s an
alteration at home or to your
appearance, the outcome will
give you the boost you need
to take on bigger pursuits.

wonderful that you’re so
self-sufficient, but some-
times it’s about allowing our
loved ones to do things for
us. I wouldn’t be so sure that
your friend wasn’t planning
on bringing you a cake. That
may be exactly why she
reacted with such dismay.
Still, that’s no reason to can-
cel your order at the bakery.
If no one springs a sweet
surprise on you, you’ll be
glad you took care of that.
And if someone does, well,
no party ever suffered from
too much cake.
Dear Annie: I’d like to add
to your response to “Real-
ist, Not Pessimist,” who’s
despairing about the state
of the world, because I have
made the same cynical mis-
take of believing there is no
hope for mankind. I recently
discovered that this idea
is entirely wrong. Though
we still face huge challeng-

dimensions and strength of
the muscles in the partic-
ipants’ forearms. The stu-
dents were then fitted with
casts on their left forearms
to immobilize their wrists,
hands, thumbs and fingers
up to the knuckles. Each
was randomly assigned
to either a training group
or to a control group. The
training group took exercise
classes three times a week
that focused on certain
muscle groups in the wrist,
hand and forearm of the
free limb. The control
group did not take part in
those classes and was asked
to refrain from any other
exercise as well.
A month later, after the
casts were removed, mea-
surements showed that
participants in the control
group had lost about 20
percent of the strength

you into doing something
you shouldn’t. If you desire
change, take a close look
at yourself and strive for
self-improvement.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19): Go over important
papers and make adjust-
ments that will lead to new
opportunities. Organization
and preparation will be
important.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19): Patience, passion and
hard work will pay off. Don’t
make minor setbacks a big
deal, and say no to any-
one trying to push you to
overspend.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20):
You’ll have plenty of ideas,
but what will truly make the
difference will be the people
you choose to work alongside.
Collaborate with those who
bring out the best in you.
