CRISIS IN YEMEN

Medical marijuana businesses could be banned permanently in Redwood City if the Planning Commission agrees with city staff that enforcement will be costly and time consuming, crime could escalate and ongoing conicts between state and federal policies make regulations challenging. The city already has a temporary
moratorium in place and will hear from the public before deciding Tuesday whether to recommend a zoning amendment banning the facilities and, if so, whether to include a sunset provision. The commission could also opt to recommend letting the current moratorium expire Dec. 10 or in place of a ban, ask staff to create an ordinance allowing a limited
number of facilities. The City Council will consider and vote on the recommendation at a future meeting. Since the moratorium took effect, city staff has looked at the legal and safety issues of regulating medical marijuana and how other cities have dealt with the issue. San Mateo County itself has a patchwork of bans and regulations
on a city-by-city basis. San Carlos, San Mateo and San Mateo County permit the facilities while Colma, San Bruno, South San Francisco, Millbrae Brisbane, East Palo Alto and Half Moon Bay do not. Rather than prohibit the facilities, Redwood City could assess permit and regulatory fees but the funds may not be enough to fully cover the cost of enforcement or be at the expense of other priorities, accord-
ing to a staff report compiled ahead of the public hearing. If the city let the facilities operate with review and oversight, the adverse consequences to the community could create an irreversible incompatibility of land uses and secondary adverse impacts on residents and businesses, Acting Principal Planner Blake Lyon wrote
Financial transparency, technology and boosting student achievement were among the top issues for candidates hoping to serve on the San Bruno Park School District Board of Trustees. Board President Jennifer Blanco, Trustee Kevin Martinez, former trustee Chuck Zelnik and real estate agent Joseph Capote are competing for two four-year seats. On Wednesday, trustees were interviewed at the Daily Journal ofce
ANDREW SCHEINER/DAILY JOURNAL
and by phone for the Daily Journal editorial endorsement process. During the conversations, candidates had differing opinions on the districts challenges and the best way to deal with them. Martinez and Zelnik pointed to scal solvency as a top concern. Zelnik went further, adding he has disagreed with spending decisions made in recent years, specically decit spending, and wanted the districts focus to be on improving academic offerings.

Teaching a successful class requires a lot of the same skill as creating a noteworthy mix tape. To quote John Cusack in High Fidelity, You gotta kick it off with a killer, to grab attention.

Foster Citys belt-tigtening the past year has led to signicant budget savings as cuts were made across the board to bring spending in line with revenue. It also ended the scal year with one of the healthiest reserves of any city on the Peninsula at $19.1 million related to its general fund budget, which is roughly $29.3 million. In total, the general fund showed a decit of $3.3 million for scal year 2010-11, which was actually less of a deficit than the city expected,
according to a quarterly report from the citys Finance Director Steve Toler. The city has used its reserve to balance the budget in recent years but has adopted a spending plan that should realize a balanced budget in two years, if revenue projections pan out. Property tax revenue acutally climbed in Foster City last year by nearly 10 percent over the previous year but still fell short of budget estimates by about $894,000,

THAT SCRAMBLED WORD GAME
by David L. Hoyt and Jeff Knurek
Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, visiting Los Angeles, reacted angrily upon being told that, for security reasons, he wouldnt get to visit Disneyland. In 1796, President George Washingtons farewell address was published. In 1881, the 20th president of the United States, James A. Gareld, died 2 1/2 months after being shot by Charles Guiteau; Chester Alan Arthur became president. In 1911, British author Sir William Golding (Lord of the Flies) was born in Cornwall. In 1945, Nazi radio propagandist William Joyce, known as Lord Haw-Haw, was convicted of treason and sentenced to death by a British court. In 1957, the United States conducted its rst contained underground nuclear test, code-named Rainier, in the Nevada desert. In 1960, Cuban leader Fidel Castro, in New York to visit the United Nations, angrily checked out of the Shelburne Hotel in a dispute with the management; Castro ended up staying at the Hotel Theresa in Harlem. In 1961, Barney and Betty Hill, a New Hampshire couple driving home from vacation, experienced what they later claimed under hypnosis was a short-term abduction by extraterrestrials. In 1970, The Mary Tyler Moore Show debuted on CBS-TV. In 1985, the Mexico City area was struck by a devastating earthquake that killed at least 9,500 people. Ten years ago: The Pentagon ordered dozens of advanced aircraft to the Persian Gulf region as the hour of military retaliation for deadly terrorist attacks on Sept. 11 drew closer. The parent companies of American Airlines and United Airlines both announced plans to lay off 20,000 employees each. Five years ago: President George W. Bush, speaking to the U.N. General Assembly, tried to quell anti-Americanism in the Middle East by assuring Muslims he was not waging war against Islam. U.N. Secretary-General Ko Annan delivered an emotional farewell address, appealing to the world to unite against human rights abuses, religious divisions, brutal conicts and an unjust world economy. The chief judge in Saddam Husseins genocide trial was replaced amid complaints he was being too easy on the deposed Iraqi leader.

said. Its music that helps Kauffmann engage his students, grab their attention and generate conversation about a shared interest. Earlier this month, Kauffmann was named the San Mateo County 2012 Teacher of the year by Anne Campbell, San Mateo County superintendent of schools. The honor is still new to Kauffmann who attributed his background in other work as preparing him to be successful as a teacher. Raphaels instruction sets a standard that every administrator desires to observe in a classroom. He creates an environment that supports student learning and engages students in the curriculum at all levels, said Principal Raul Zamora.
Kauffmanns journey started in Los Angeles. As a teen, music became a way of life. He played bass and was part of numerous bands through high school and college. He also played a couple sports. Bands gave him a chance to explore and play in different locations but it wasnt stable. Of all the bands he played with, The People House has the name that sticks out the most. Named after In a People House, by Dr. Seuss, Kauffmann was inspired when he saw the book at his dentists office. Today, he reads the book to his 4-year-old son. But the name was a good fit for the group which was a collective band that played acid and hip hop jazz with many people coming and going. While music wasnt completely stable, Kauffmann made a living working in the recording industry for some time. Along the way, Kauffmann met his future wife in college. They first met in 1993 in a class. Their love affair started with only one date after which they remained friends. They recon-
nected in 2000. Kauffmann had given her his fathers phone number, which was a way he could always be reached. She tracked him down that way, apparently the number had been written on a mix tape he made her. Reconnecting was the inspiration Kauffmann needed make a career change. He considered being either a chef or a teacher. The former is a job he now does daily while making dinner for his family. Teaching seemed like a natural fit. After getting laid off from a software company, Kauffmann volunteered in East Oakland teaching kids how to make music from computers and run a recording studio. It was while interacting with those students that Kauffmann realized the importance of English when working in any industry. He returned to San Francisco State University, where Kauffmann had previously earned his bachelors degree in broadcast and electronic communication, and earned his teaching credential.

SAN FRANCISCO As ofcials prepared to examine a new set of human remains found in a canyon east of San Francisco Bay, relatives of a missing nursing student said Sunday they were grateful for search teams relentless efforts to locate the 26-year-old womans body and bring closure to their ordeal. Police and volunteer searchers made the discovery Saturday off a dirt trail in a rugged region of Alameda County. Police said cell phone signals from victim Michelle Le and a former school friend they suspect in her death had been received from the area.
The remains were so badly decomposed that i nv e s t i g a t o r s were not immediately able to determine if they were those of a male or female. Le, 26, disapMichele Le peared on May 27 when she took a break from her nursing classes at a Hayward hospital. Giselle Esteban, a former friend of Les from high school in San Diego, was arrested earlier this month and charged with murder. We are focused on finding Michelle and ensuring that justice is served, said a statement issued by
family spokeswoman Krystine Dinh. With a suspect in custody, the Hayward PD will continue to work with us to locate Michelle and to bring her home so that we may have a proper memorial for her and bring closure to our family. Police believe Esteban, 27, attacked Le in the parking garage of the hospital where she was doing a clinical rotation. Le had told colleagues she was going to her car but never returned. Her locked Honda SUV was later found a half-mile away. Cell phone records show that both womens phones traveled on a similar path from the hospital to other locations in Alameda County immediately after Le disappeared, a
police inspector wrote in an afdavit. Since Les disappearance, relatives, law enforcement agencies and volunteers have focused their searches in the craggy terrain between the cities of Pleasanton and Sunol. Police Lt. Roger Keener said cell phone forensics helped investigators target the Niles and Sunol Canyon areas, but difculties in traversing the thick brush have forced search teams to return to the area more than a dozen times. Les family has received help from the KlaasKids Foundation and Marc Klaas, whose 12-year-old daughter, Polly, was abducted from a slumber party in 1993 and later
found slain. The foundation has worked with the Le family from the beginning and helped register volunteers and establish protocols for the search on Saturday, Keener said. The Alameda County Coroners Office will begin examining the decomposed remains on Monday. This case is probably going to hinge upon DNA or dental records, so we cant say how long it will take yet, said J.D. Nelson, a spokesman for Alameda County Sheriffs Department. Esteban, 27, is due back in court Monday after a judge postponed a plea hearing so she could get an attorney. She was being held without bail.
SACRAMENTO Ex-convicts who violate their parole in California typically are sent back to prison for four months with little if any rehabilitation or education before they are released again. The result is a cycle of releaseand-incarceration that leads to seven in 10 parolees being sent back to prison and drains ever more money from the states decit-plagued general fund. In an attempt to break that cycle and save money, state corrections ofcials have begun trying an approach that could serve as a national model for handling parole violators.
Parolees in the trial program are sent to county jail for brief periods every time they break the rules or test positive for drug use, instead of being sent back to prison. The goal of the short but immediate incarceration is to change their behavior, even if it requires multiple jail stints. Usually after two to three times, the light bulb goes (on), said Denise Allen, a researcher with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Preliminary results have been remarkable for deterring drug use by the 35 Sacramento-area parolees who have participated in the program since it began in November, said Angela Hawken, an associate professor of public policy at Pepperdine
University, who is evaluating Californias program. The immediacy and certainty of being sent to jail for every parole violation has seemed to work where the delayed threat of a new and even longer prison sentence had failed in the past, said Hawken, who also has studied similar programs in Hawaii and Washington state. California plans to expand the program as it attempts to reduce corrections spending and x overcrowded conditions in its 33 adult prisons. The effort takes on new urgency after the U.S. Supreme Court earlier this year upheld a lower court order requiring the state to reduce its prison population by about 33,000 inmates over two years to improve conditions.
SAN FRANCISCO Wanted: experienced security professional. Must have plan to thwart Chinese counterfeiters, protect secret blueprints from spies and keep workers from leaving super-secret unreleased smartphones behind in bars. A day after a recent report surfaced that an Apple employee had lost a prototype for a new but unreleased iPhone at a Northern California watering hole, two job listings appeared on Apples website for managers of new product security. Such workers would join a team at the $350 billion company that has included ex-FBI agents and other
highly trained pros with backgrounds in intelligence and law enforcement. While a private security force might not seem in keeping with its user-friendly image, Apple and other companies in its league need the best protection they can buy, corporate security experts say. And lost iPhones likely dont come near the top of the list of anxieties. Corporate espionage, thats big money. Billion-dollar money. The paranoia is justified, said Jim Stickley, co-founder of corporate security consulting firm TraceSecurity Whatever theyre trying to do, their competitors want to know. Everybody wants to know.
HISTORY
Continued from page 3
small shopping center and apartment houses, the roadway of Westborough Boulevard had been repaired many times as it continually forms a dip in the road due to the San Andreas Fault sliding the road north and south. The dip is deep enough again and the road repair crew will have to ll it in and start over again. In fact, north of this dip, a fence was observed having moved over 20 feet during the 1906 earthquake. Sag ponds, formed
by the fault have now been lled in and apartments constructed on the site to erase all surface trace of the fault. On April 18, 1906, an earthquake occurred (8.3 Richter) in this area, with a great deal of damage and loss of life. This quake moved the earth in many places 20 to 30 feet. A great migration down the Peninsula began after the quake and re in San Francisco resulting in a great deal of settling on the small San Mateo County villages. Thousands of earthquake houses were built in San Francisco that were sold months later to people who needed shelter. The houses had to be moved from the parks and public property in San Francisco when they were sold. Although most have
been destroyed over the years, in San Bruno two of these houses are still standing. In San Mateo, almost every house lost their chimney but most survived minor damage. The railroad freight depot was completely destroyed and the trains stopped running as some rails had been bent. Union Square, surrounding the train station, had much damage. Liberty Hall, which housed city ofces, a public meeting hall and the re department was completely destroyed. The citys only chemical re truck was destroyed. Union Hotel, as well as many other hotels, were damaged, Central School was partially wrecked and the Episcopal and Catholic Church suffered great damage. The Episcopal Church had to be rebuilt. Within
three days, the newspaper was being printed and the ood of refugees from San Francisco began arriving. Again in 1957 we had a good jolt, but this was not excessive and did a minimum of damage. In 1989, the earth moved again for 15 seconds in the Loma Prieta area. The quake (6.9) caused extensive damage throughout the Bay Area, including the collapse of the Cypress Freeway and a portion of the Bay Bridge. The damage caused was over $6 billion and it cost 63 people their lives.

NATION
WASHINGTON Even as President Barack Obama prepares his opening bid on long-term decit reduction, the White House wants to keep the focus on jobs and is determined to avoid getting sucked into another budget ght with lawmakers. Administration ofcials see the task of attending to decits as necessary but not necessarily urgent, compared with the need to revive the economy and increase employment. The White House also sees this as the time to draw sharp contrasts with congressional Republicans, whose public approval ratings are lower than Obamas. As a result, when Obama announces at least $2 trillion in decit reduction measures Monday, he is not expected to offer all the
compromises he reached with House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, in July before those talks broke off. I would view this as the presiBarack Obama dents vision for how we achieve decit reduction, which makes it inherently different than the sorts of legislative negotiations we were undertaking with the speaker over the summer, said the White House communications director, Dan Pfeiffer. The plan represents an economic bookend to the $447 billion in tax cuts and new public works spending that Obama has proposed to as a short-term measure to stimulate the economy and create jobs. Hes submitting it to a special joint committee of Congress given the task of
recommending how to reduce decits by $1.2 trillion to $1.5 trillion over 10 years. The White House signaled its approach Saturday by highlighting a proposal in the presidents plan that would set a minimum tax rate for taxpayers earning more than $1 million. The measure Obama is going to call it the Buffett Rule for billionaire investor Warren Buffett is designed to prevent millionaires from using tax-avoidance schemes to pay lower rates than middleincome taxpayers. Buffett has complained that he and other wealthy people have been coddled long enough and shouldnt be paying a smaller share of their income in federal taxes than middle-class taxpayers. However, the proposal is a certain dead-letter with Republicans, who have pledged to oppose any increase in taxes.
WASHINGTON Most of the top Republicans running for president are embracing plans to partially privatize Social Security, reviving a contentious issue that zzled under President George W. Bush after Democrats relentlessly attacked it. As President Barack Obama sidesteps ways to keep the retirement system viable, his would-be rivals are keen on letting younger workers divert part of their payroll taxes into some type of personal account to be invested separately from Social Security. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has a version. Reps.
Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and Ron Paul of Texas have said younger workers should be allowed to invest in alternative plans. Texas Gov. Rick Perry has raised the idea of letting whole groups, such as state and local government workers, opt out of Social Security. These proposals are popular among conservatives who believe workers could get a better return from investing in publicly traded securities. But most in the Republican race have been careful to say they would ght to preserve traditional Social Security for current retirees and those approaching retirement. Younger workers, they say, should have more options.
COLUMBIA, S.C. Long-haul trucker John Boyers gray beard and round face give him a grandfatherly appearance, but when he opens his mouth, he seethes with anger toward women. This hatred had murderous results, authorities said, as he picked up prostitutes around the Southeast, killed them and dumped their bodies near interstate highways. Hes accused of at least three slayings and is suspected in a fourth. Boyer has pleaded guilty to killing a woman in North Carolina and faces murder charges in slayings in Tennessee and South Carolina. His
most recent confession came last month. The similarities of the cases and the apparent lack of remorse from Boyer have investigators encouraging their counterparts along highways around the Southeast to review unsolved killings and missing person les. Even his own attorney in the North Carolina case felt uneasy around him and wondered what else he might have done. I think there are a lot more. Theres no telling. This guy traveled all over the country. Hopefully well get more of these cases solved through DNA, said detective Scott Smith of the Hickman County, Tenn., sheriffs ofce.

RENO, Nev. The World War II-era plane that plummeted into an air-race crowd like a missile bore little resemblance to its original self. It was rebuilt for speed, if not for stability. The 65-year-old Galloping Ghost underwent years of massive overhauls that took a full 10 feet off its wingspan. The ailerons the back edges of the main wings used to control balance were cut from about 60 inches to 32. Pilot Jimmy Leeward had said the changes made the P-51 Mustang faster and more maneuverable, but in the months before Fridays crash even he wasnt certain exactly how it would perform.
I know itll do the speed, he said in a podcast uploaded to YouTube in June. The systems arent proven yet. We think theyre going to be OK. Investigators dont yet know what caused the plane to pitch sharply into the crowd at the National Championship Air Races in Reno, killing nine people, including Leeward, and injuring dozens. They have focused on the elevator trim tab a piece of the tail that helps the aircraft maintain lift and appeared to break off before the crash. In the highly competitive, bravado-lled world of air racing, pilots go for broke on the ground and in the sky, hitting speeds of 500 mph. Leeward is the 20th pilot to die at the air races since they began 47 years ago, but Fridays crash was the rst in which spectators were killed.

SANAA, Yemen Yemeni government forces opened fire with anti-aircraft guns and automatic weapons on tens of thousands of anti-government protesters in the capital demanding ouster of their longtime ruler, killing at least 26 and wounding dozens, medical ofcials and witnesses said. After nightfall, Sanaa sank into complete darkness after a sudden power outage, as protesters took control of a vital bridge, halting traffic and setting up tents. Thousands of other protesters attacked government buildings and set res to buildings they said were used by snipers and pro-government thugs.

Anti-government protesters carry an injured protester during clashes with police in Sanaa Sunday.Nearly 30 were killed in clashes.
The attack was the deadliest in months against protesters and comes as tensions have been escalating in the long, drawn-out stalemate between the regime and the opposition. The president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, left for Saudi Arabia for treatment after being severely wounded in a June 3 attack on his palace, raising hopes for his swift removal but instead, he has dug in, refusing to step down. The protest movement has stepped up demonstrations the past week, angered after Saleh deputized Vice President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi to negotiate a powertransfer deal. Many believe the move is just the latest of many delaying tactics. At the same time, greater numbers of the powerful Republican
Guards force, led by Salehs son and heir apparent Ahmed and armed regime supporters have also been turning out in the streets in recent days, raising fears of a new bloody confrontation. More than 100,000 protesters massed Sunday around the state radio building and government ofces, witnesses said. When the crowd began to march toward the nearby Presidential Palace, security forces opened re and shot tear gas canisters, they said. Snipers red down at the crowd from nearby rooftops, and plainclothes Saleh supporters armed with automatic ries, swords and batons attacked the protesters. Protesters took control of a main bridge, closed off the entrances and set re to tents in a camp used by pro-government forces.
HEBRON, West Bank The Palestinians will be able to make a strong case that they have built the foundations of a nation when they ask the U.N. this week to recognize an independent Palestine in the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem, the lands Israel occupied in 1967. In the West Bank, theyve been laying the infrastructure piece by piece, including widely praised systems of public nance and banking and a U.S.-trained security force. Theyve amassed many of the trappings of independence, from their own internet domain and interna-
tional dialing code to a ag, an anthem and a national football team. But their U.N. bid also highlights a simple, bitter reality: They cannot establish an actual state without Israels blessing, even if the Security Council or a majority of General Assembly members recognize Palestine in pre-1967 borders. Israel has kept a tight grip on the occupied lands, even while engaging in sporadic talks frozen since late 2008 on the terms of Palestinian statehood. It has annexed east Jerusalem, enforces a border blockade of Hamas-ruled Gaza and retains ultimate say in the West Bank, despite limited self-rule
there by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbass government. Israel remains the nal arbiter for some 4 million Palestinians who often cant travel, trade or even build homes without Israeli permission. Ambitious plans cant advance, such as building an international airport in the West Bank or issuing a currency, the Palestine pound, to replace the Israeli shekel. Its not going to change anything in my life, Mod Sharabati, a plumber in the city of Hebron, said Sunday of the bid for U.N. recognition. His family of seven lives in the Israeli-controlled center of Hebron, where some 500 Jewish settlers live.
WADI DINAR, Libya The rockets and mortars rained down on the position where the revolutionaries had retreated on the outskirts of the mountainous stronghold of Moammar Gadhas loyalists. So, in a fury, the ghters charged wild and unorganized Sunday back into the city for yet another day of ghting. Fighters for Libyas new rulers have been throwing themselves into the battle to take Bani Walid for
days with no progress against the old regime loyalists, strongly fortified and bristling with heavy weaponry. The frustration is showing among the amateur revolutionary ghters. We expected this kind of resistance from Gadhafi forces, but I thought we could take them on, said Mohannad Bendalla, a doctor treating wounded ghters at a eld hospital set up outside of the city. The ofcial military of Libyas interim government has pulled away from Bani Walid to regroup.

n Sacramento, state lawmakers have reached a practical compromise with online giant Amazon.com over collecting sales taxes on Californians Internet purchases. With so many other issues in the state Capitol seemingly stalled by party-line divisions, it seems worth noting that the Senate voted 36-1 to pass the compromise legislation Sept. 9 and the Assembly did likewise in a 62-8 vote. Gov. Jerry Brown should sign the measure into law. Its not perfect, but its a reasonable agreement that benets California as well as the nations largest online retailer. Under the truce, Amazon.com will put aside its efforts for a referendum to overturn a law the Legislature passed earlier this year, which aimed to force the company to collect sales taxes on items sold to California residents.
The new law had been expected to increase sales-tax revenues by at least $200 million a year, according to a state estimate. Its money the state desperately needs to pay for essential public services. Yet, the compromise allows Amazon to postpone collecting those sales taxes until September 2012; and as painful as the loss of those dollars would be for a full year, its money the state wouldnt receive at all if voters were to side with Amazon and approve its referendum to invalidate the law. Before the compromise was reached last week, the company spent more than $5.25 million on its referendum. If it continued those efforts, it probably would have collected enough signatures to put the measure on the ballot; and Californians probably would have been forced to endure another noisy, expen-
sive campaign for a ballot proposition backed by a well-funded special interest. Not having to go through that circus is a plus for the voters. Under the compromise, Amazon will have to start collecting sales taxes if Congress acts before September 2012 to approve national legislation setting out requirements for online sellers to collect such taxes regardless of their location. That national legislation probably will be in the form of the Main Street Fairness Act, which aims to certify a streamlined process for online sellers to collect and remit sales taxes without the complexity associated with thousands of different political jurisdictions having their own tax rates. The proposal, which was introduced in Congress at the end of July, has a list of supporters including Amazon.com. The national plan would be a common-sense solution to the issue of Internet sales taxes.
Helpful suggestions
Editor, This newspapers Letters to the Editor is my favorite section. You do an excellent job of sorting through the partisan screeds, conspiracy theories, personal obsessions and the occasional fact-based well-written letter to provide a great page of reading. I now offer two suggestions to make an excellent section even better. First, change the title from Letters to the Editor to The Daily Rant, or My Favorite Obsession or perhaps You Kids Get Off My Lawn. Second, initiate theme days for the subjects that just endlessly repeat yearafter-year and never resolve. For example: Mondays: Conspiracy theories of all kinds Tuesdays: Israel, the Holocaust, Muslims, the Middle East, etc. Wednesdays: The problem is those horrible conservatives Thursdays: The problem is those horrible liberals Fridays: Leafblowers

NEW YORK Small investors, take note: The smart money isnt sure what to make of the economy, either. Some market strategists say the recent drop in stock prices means the market is expecting a recession. Banks like Goldman Sachs and others have lowered their year-end forecasts for the Standard & Poors 500 index. And Mark Zandi, the much-followed economist from Moodys, says the chance that the economy will fall into another recession is 40 percent. Which is to say, theres also a betterthan-even chance the U.S. economy will continue to grow, albeit slowly. Thats the case Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and others have been making.
This camp believes the economy will grow at a gradual pace now that gasoline prices have fallen, Japans factories are mostly back up to speed after the earthquake and tsunami, and the debt ceiling debate is over for now. All of these mismatched signs are leaving large investors in the lurch. Tack too hard to either safety or to risk, and theres a chance that whatever the economy is doing will make their bets go sour. With so much hanging in the balance, some money managers say they dont know what their next move will be: buy stocks, load up on bonds, or simply hoard cash and wait for the dust to settle. Were in a no mans land, says Robert Stein, the head of Astor Asset Management who is responsible for investments of $1.2 billion. As a portfo-
lio manager, I would like to have clarity. If its going to be a recession, we know what to do. If the economy is improving, thats even better. But the economic data thats been coming out is doing a great job of creating more question marks. Stein slashed his stock holdings by 50 percent in June after poor reports on economic indicators including consumer spending and new applications for unemployment benets made him think the economy was stalling. He thought then that stocks would pick up during the last three months of the year. Thats when he planned to buy, but now hes not so sure. We could buy again soon, he says. But its equally possible that we could reduce (our stock holdings) even more. We dont see a tipping point either way yet.
GENEVA Oswald Gruebel, the chief executive of UBS, has dismissed calls for his resignation as politically motivated, even as the Swiss banking giant raised its estimated loss by a rogue trader to $2.3 billion. UBS AG had previously put the loss at $2 billion when news of the scandal rst broke Thursday. In a bid to reassure investors, the Zurich-based bank said Sunday it has
now covered the risk resulting from the unauthorized trading and its equities business is again operating normally within its previously dened risk limits. UBS also conrmed for the rst time that the trader, 31-year-old Kweku Adoboli, was already under investigation by the bank when he revealed his actions to authorities Wednesday. The loss resulted from unauthorized speculative trading in various S&P 500, DAX, and EuroStoxx index futures over the last three months, UBS said, adding
that the magnitude of the banks risk exposure was hidden by fake trades. Adoboli remains in custody in London, charged Friday with acts of fraud and false accounting dating back to 2008. His next court appearance is Thursday. The fact that the fraud took place over three years raises serious questions about the banks ability to manage its risk. UBS said it has set up a special committee chaired by David Sidwell, the banks senior independent director, to investigate the incident.
WASHINGTON Its a massive health care entitlement with unfunded future costs over $7 trillion. Many conservatives are still upset at the way it was rammed through Congress. But when the Republican presidential candidates were asked last week if they would repeal the Medicare drug benet, they said no way. After all, Republicans created it.
Republicans want to pull the plug on the health care overhaul they call Obamacare, but that law is arguably less a decit driver than the Medicare drug plan they are defending. Debt and decit are the focus of the Republican Party as the 2012 presidential campaign moves through the nominating process and looks ahead to the general election. Yet the reluctance of GOP candidates to renounce a costly entitlement program that voters like
shows how politics can come into play when critiquing the federal ledger. Passed by a GOP-led Congress in 2003 under President George W. Bush, the prescription program is immensely popular with older people, faithful voters who lately have been trending Republican. Medicare recipients pay only one-fourth of the cost of the drug benet. Because theres no dedicated tax to support the program, the other three-fourths comes from the governments general fund.

SAN FRANCISCO Tony Romo rallied Americas Team while playing with a fractured rib. In a week when Romo vowed to play his best game, he delivered a gutsy comeback that looked unlikely when he briey came out from halftime and then returned to the locker room. Just when the Cowboys (1-1) announced the quarterback was
done for the day, there came No. 9 ready to take charge of the huddle once again. Even though he had a hard time breathing and barking out the Tony Romo cadence. Romo hit Jesse Holley on a 77yard completion on the Cowboys rst play of overtime that set up Dan
Baileys winning 19-yard eld goal, and Dallas pulled off an improbable 27-24 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. In one frantic span, Romo emphatically left his mark on the storied Cowboys-49ers rivalry that dates back decades to all those epic matchups in the NFC title game that regularly set up Super Bowl victories by the winner. It was an exact reverse of what happened a week earlier: a 27-24 road loss to the Jets after Dallas
blew a late 14-point lead. Romos late interception contributed to that Week 1 collapse. Bailey kicked a tying 48-yard eld goal Sunday as time expired in regulation after missing an early 21yard attempt. Romo completed ve of six passes on the tying drive, connecting on consecutive throws to Holley before nding him again in OT. Ribs are tough, Romo said. Its just hard to breathe, and talk really. You have to talk loud, espe-
cially on the road. Romo wasnt the only one playing hurt, either. Running back Felix Jones separated his shoulder early in the game, owner Jerry Jones said. Miles Austin made three touchdown receptions among his nine catches for 143 yards, leaping over a defender and diving into the end zone to pull Dallas within 24-21 with 6:55 to play. Austin later hurt his hamstring.
Right before College of San Mateo head coach Brett Pollack walked off the football eld two Saturdays ago at Fresno Community College, he took a picture of the scoreboard one that read Fresno 43-CSM 7. Pollack then printed out that picture and plastered it all over his teams locker room as they prepared for their 2011 home opener against Reedley. I said guys, if this doesnt hurt, if this doesnt embarrass you, if this doesnt cause you to make a change, then you shouldnt be playing this sport, Pollack said. Well, after Saturdays 48-14 beat down of Reedley, there is no doubt that the Bulldogs responded just like their coach expected them to. CSM was superior in all facets of the game Saturday afternoon, racking up 577 yards of offense, 487 of which came on the ground. The Bulldogs had four players with over 50 yards rushing, led by the 188 yards of Kenya Price (Woodside) he got his total on only eight touches. It was complete reversal, Pollack said of his teams performance, and it needed to be. Were on back on track, but we have a long way to go still. The winning effort was in support of Blake Plattsmier, who started for the rst time in his college career.

DENVER The San Francisco Giants headed home with their playoff hopes still alive. Pablo Sandoval homered twice in an eight-run fourth inning, part of a six-home run barrage that led the late-charging Giants over the Colorado Rockies 12-5 Sunday for their eighth straight win. On its longest winning streak since April 2007, San Francisco closed within four games of Atlanta, the NL wild-card leader. Weve done what we needed to do, manager Bruce Bochy said.
Its obvious we need help. Weve got to nd a way to get (wins) and see what happens at the end. Pitcher Matt Cain, Mike Pablo Sandoval F o n t e n o t , Brandon Belt and Brandon Crawford also homered for the Giants, who remained ve games back of Arizona in the NL West. The defending World Series champions have nine games left,
including three against the Diamondbacks. We feel like weve got a really good shot, Belt said. Cain (12-10) allowed ve runs three earned ve hits, four walks and two hit batters in ve innings. He helped himself with two hits, including his rst home run since May 13, 2008, against Houston. I never found a rhythm, he said. I was really working and putting a lot of pressure on myself throughout the ve innings. Bochy said he was one batter from taking Cain out in the fth, but Cain got Tommy Field to hit into an
inning-ending double play. He looked like he didnt know how to pitch with a lead like that, Bochy said. In a four-game sweep of the Rockies, the Giants piled up 35 runs and 48 hits. Sandoval led the way with a seven hits, including three homers, in three games. He started the series by hitting for the cycle Thursday and ended it with his second multihomer game this season. What a series he had, Bochy said. Pretty impressive. Pablo was locked in. Sandoval led off the fourth with a
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. In Richard Seymours eyes, Oaklands discouraging loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday shouldnt have come down to whether rookie Denarius Moore caught Jason Campbells desperation pass into the end zone as time expired. Less than a week after allowing just 38 yards on the ground in a season-opening win over Denver on Monday night, the Raiders defense was shredded by a Buffalo rushing game that accounted for 217 of the Bills 481 total yards in their 38-35 comeback win. The Raiders (1-1) blew an 18point rst-half lead. They did a good job of scheming us and running the right plays at the right time, but there wasnt a whole lot that we did good out there in the second half, Seymour said. We didnt make the plays that we needed to. Our offense did a good job scoring points, but we didnt help them out. Despite Buffalos five straight touchdown drives in the second half, Oakland still had a chance to wrestle away a win. But DaNorris Searcy snagged the ball from Moore in the end zone as time expired. Referee Mike Carey returned to a near-empty stadium to review the nal play and determine whether Searcy had intercepted Campbells pass. It turns out there was miscommunication between officials, as Carey was informed the replay booth had already reviewed the play and ruled it an interception. Were the Raiders you think were going to get that call? Seymour asked matter-of-factly. Ultimately, a blown coverage blew away Oaklands chance to start a season 2-0 for the rst time since 2002. That was the last time the Raiders qualied for the playoffs, eventually falling to Tampa Bay in the Super Bowl. On David Nelsons winning 6yard touchdown catch with 14 seconds left, the Raiders secondary left Nelson wide open in the middle of the eld. Basically it was trying to do someone elses job, Oakland defen-

Jones wont need to defend Romo after this one. He grimaced and limped. He needed help from a lineman to stand up as the vicious hits kept coming. Romo completed 20 of 33 passes for 345 yards and backup Jon Kitna found Austin for a 5-yard TD, but also threw two interceptions during his brief appearance. As Romos teammates celebrated, cheered and hugged, he slowly made his way to mideld for postgame handshakes. He didnt give coach Jason Garrett much chance to keep him out of the game once back on the sideline for the second time. I just told him I was good to go. I think he asked some of the guys, Romo said. I didnt give him too much of a chance. I just ran on the eld. The 49ers (1-1) were trying to move to 2-0 under new coach Jim Harbaugh after a 33-17 victory over defending NFC West champion Seattle last week. Alex Smith threw for 179 yards and two touchdowns, including a 29-yard strike to Delanie Walker in the third quarter. Smith found himself in the familiar predicament of getting hit. He was sacked six times as San Franciscos offensive line often failed to protect him or give him ample time in the pocket to be effective. Frank Gore ran for a 1-yard score and Kyle Williams had a 12-yard touchdown catch as San Francisco went ahead 14-0. Romo returned for the last series of the third quarter, the nal 15 minutes and OT. Dallas had a nal chance in regulation, getting the ball back with 4:03 to play starting from its own 26. Romo, in the shotgun as hed been most of the day, delivered on third-and-6 from the 43 with a 7-yard completion to Austin. They connected on another 7-yard gain the next play. After Jones this week called Romos performance against the Jets outstanding, Romo made all the right calls in crunch time. Romo played through multiple hits in the rst half, when he threw a late 53-yard touchdown pass to Austin to bring Dallas within 14-7. The QB came up slowly after being clobbered on a blindside cornerback blitz by Carlos Rogers as he was throwing in the second quarter. Romo looked to be headed for another tough day. The Cowboys came up short on a 76-yard drive over the opening 7 1/2 minutes after Bailey missed wide right on his 21-yard eld goal attempt. Then, it was three straight threeand-outs by Romo and Co. For the 49ers, watching this one get away will be tough. They now go on the road for games at Cincinnati and Philadelphia. Both teams went without a top receiver: no Dez Bryant for the Cowboys because of a thigh injury or Michael Crabtree for the Niners as he nurses his troublesome left foot. San Franciscos Braylon Edwards limped off with a right knee injury after making a 21-yard catch in the rst quarter.
CSM

Theres always going to be nerves with your rst college start, Plattsmier said. We just wanted to come out and play hard. We had (the Fresno loss) in the back of our heads all week. We just wanted to make up for it and get back on track this season. We wanted to come out and do that to (Reedley). Oh, CSM took their frustrations out on the Tigers alright. It took the Bulldogs a couple of possessions to get rolling, but once they did, it was like trying to stop a runaway train. Price got CSM on the board with 9:35 left in the rst quarter when he dashed into the end zone on a 67-yard run. The Bulldogs then drove 21 yards in the waning seconds of the rst quarter and opened up the second with Kenny Anderson booting a 34-yard eld goal to put then up 10-0. CSM was extremely effective running the ball on the perimeter against Reedley. It was something they werent able to do against Fresno and the Tigers came in thinking they could do the same. While Reedley was able limit the damage between the tackles, they were no match for the speed of Price, Plattsmier and Marcus McDaniel on the outside. Plattsmier scored twice in the span of

Until now, people have masked their pain by frequently taking prescription pain pills or by getting cortisone, epidural or steroid injections. This type of relief masks the cause, is temporary, and more often can lead to even more pain or worse yet, addiction to drugs. Many people innocently fall into abusing prescription pain pills while initially using them to alleviate pain. Do you know that prescription medications kill more people every year than illegal drugs do?

OAKLAND The AL Central title clinched for the Detroit Tigers, Justin Verlander has a goal and it has nothing to do with the AL Cy Young Award. The Tigers are looking for homeeld advantage, for their fans as much as for themselves. Id like to start at home, Verlander said Sunday when he led the Tigers over the Oakland Athletics 3-0 and became the rst pitcher in nine years to reach 24 wins. After clinching its rst division title since 1987 on Friday, Detroit
(89-64) is one game ahead of Texas (88-65) for No. 2 seed in the AL playoffs and homefield advantage in the rst round. In the event of a tie, Tigers hold Justin the tiebreaker Verlander because Detroit swept Texas 6-0 in the season series. I want the home crowd behind me, Verlander said. I know it will be loud since they havent seen it since 2006. It would be nice to play
in front of them. Verlander (24-5) won his 12th straight start, pitching three-hit ball over eight innings. He struck out six and walked three, extending his scoreless streak to 17 innings. The champagne bottles are packed and gone, and the cigars are gone, Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. We have another mission and thats to get homeeld advantage. If theres a fth game, we want our fans to see it. He became the rst pitcher to win 12 straight starts since Minnesotas Johan Santana in 2004, according to STATS LLC. Verlander has a 2.28
ERA with 91 strikeouts in 87 innings over his streak. Brilliant, unbelievable, outstanding. Write one down and use it, or use all three, Tigers catcher Alex Avila said. Verlander pitched to the minimum 11 batters until giving up a two-out single to Coco Crisp in the fourth. Scott Sizemore singled in the rst, but was thrown out attempting to steal. Verlander has the most wins in a major league season since Arizonas Randy Johnson in 2002. With another victory, he would become the winningest pitcher in a season since Oaklands Bob Welch
went 27-6 in 1990. He prepares as hard as anybody and can translate it into action. His attention to detail is unbelievable, Avila said. Hes been able to do exactly what he wants to do and can make changes if he has to. Verlander set a Tigers record by winning 12 straight starts. He is the rst Tigers pitcher to win a dozen consecutive decisions since Bobo Newsom won 13 straight in 1940. Theres no question about it, hes making a case for himself, Leyland said. He was scoreless again today. Thats a special talent doing something special.

Rose hangs on to win BMW Championship
LEMONT, Ill. Justin Rose was trying not to lose the BMW Championship until he decided to play like he wanted to win. Rose already was feeling the pressure from watching a ve-shot lead over John Senden shrink to one. He hit another mediocre shot that came up short of the 17th green, and while he faced a relatively simple chip, Rose thought about using his putter because it would eliminate any chance of a mistake. I knew it was kind of coming down to me, Rose said. Either I was going to fritter it away or make something happen to win the tournament. Thats how it felt.

Arizona maintained a ve-game lead over second-place San Francisco with nine games remaining, stopping a threegame losing streak. The Diamondbacks open a nine-game homestand Monday against Pittsburgh, then host the Giants
for a three-game series next weekend. When you go on a little stretch and you get a little antsy like that, you start to press a little bit, Saunders said. You just need to relax.

of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. NASCAR rescheduled the race for Monday at noon Eastern. The forecast didnt look good from the start, but because the facility has lights,
NASCAR waited all day for a window to dry the track. Ofcials got the window and had the track almost dry, but the sky opened again roughly six hours after the scheduled start.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Aaron Rodgers threw for 308 yards and two scores, while the Green Bay Packers withstood another 400yard passing day from Carolina rookie Cam Newton to beat the Panthers 30-23 on Sunday. A week after throwing for 422 yards, Newton topped himself by throwing for 432 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for a 4yard touchdown with 37 seconds left to bring Carolina (0-2) within seven, but the Packers (2-0) recovered the onside kick to seal the victory. Rodgers found Greg Jennings for a 49yard touchdown early in the third quarter to put the Packers ahead for good. Then, after Clay Matthews stopped Newton on a fourthdown run inside the 5, Rodgers found Jordy Nelson for an 84-yard touchdown to make it a two-possession game and help the Packers hang on.
With the Ravens (1-1) focused on stopping Chris Johnson, Hasselbeck attacked through the air. Kenny Britt caught nine passes for 135 yards and a TD, while Nate Washington caught seven passes for 99 yards. Rob Bironas also kicked four eld goals as Tennessee (1-1) held the ball for more than 35 minutes and outgained Baltimore 432-229 in total offense.
went 12 for 30 and was especially erratic in the red zone. Miami is 0-2 for the fth time in the past six years.
Buccaneers 24,Vikings 20
MINNEAPOLIS LeGarrette Blounts 4yard touchdown run with 31 seconds left lifted Tampa Bay and completed another comeback by quarterback Josh Freeman this time from a 17-0 halftime decit. Eight of Freemans 14 career victories have come when the Bucs (1-1) went ahead in the fourth quarter or overtime. Given how overwhelmed they were before halftime, outgained 284 yards to 62 during the rst two quarters, this might have been the most impressive.

ATLANTA Michael Vick wobbled off the eld with an aching neck late in the third quarter, all done in his return to Atlanta as a starting quarterback. This is Matt Ryans city now, and he led the Falcons back with their former quarterback sitting in the locker room. Ryan threw a career-high four touchdown passes, shaking off all the hoopla over Vick coming back to face his old team, and rallied Atlanta from a 10-point decit for a 35-31 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night. Two of Ryans TD throws went to ageless tight end Tony Gonzalez, who went past Terrell Owens into the fth spot on the NFLs career receiving list. Then, Ryan hooked up with Ovie Mughelli on a 1-yard score that brought Atlanta to 31-28 with just over 6 minutes remaining. The Falcons (1-1) completed the
comeback with Michael Turner breaking off a 61-yard run, then powering over from the 3 with 3:24 remaining. Turner nished with 114 yards on 21 carries. Vick threw for a pair of touchdowns but left with a neck injury after getting spun by a Falcons rusher into Eagles lineman Todd Herremans. No. 7 staggered off the eld and Mike Kafka came in for the first game of his two-year career. Vince Young, normally the backup, was inactive because of a hamstring injury. Kafka did a good job in a tough situation, guiding the Eagles down the eld on a potentially winning drive in the closing minutes. But on fourth down from Atlantas 22, Jeremy Maclin dropped a pass over the middle that would have kept it going. The Falcons ran off all but the last 5 seconds, and Kafkas desperation heave into the end zone was batted down to end the game.

nally moved a few boxes of personal items into my ofce at our new center. Im next to the corner ofce on our third oor at 1450 Rollins Road and the view is sweet! Just outside my window and one oor down, animals are rehabilitated in our wildlife care centers outdoor enclosures. And, beyond our property and off in the distance, I see the hilly Burlingame and Millbrae neighborhoods I roamed as a youth. After getting a few family photos out on display, I hung the rst item on my wall: an enlarged Saturday Evening Post cover from 1952, coincidentally, the year PHS/SPCA opened. In the picture, a boy is waiting at a counter with his dog and has a few coins in hand to pay for a dog license (County residents can buy or renew a license at our new center or at the older digs at Coyote Point). Earlier in the day, I saw another boy, a real one, down on our rst oor, running from dog dorm to dog dorm, with his parents a safe distance behind. I could watch kids do this all day long! Sadly, this is something we didnt see as much at our Coyote Point facility. The adoption experience at our new center is so much nicer for everyone, especially small children who would easily frighten by the whole chain link and barking dog scene at Coyote Point. This family I saw yesterday had a dog at home and they were simply checking us out. If your family is considering adopting, you should also bring the kids. Caring for and committing to a pet is a family affair. Better that you dont leave kids at home and discover surprises when your kids and new pet meet for the rst time, postadoption. All of us on staff at PHS/SPCA either have kids or have been one, so were ready for yours! Scott oversees PHS/SPCAs Adoption, Behavior and Training, Education, Outreach, Field Services, Cruelty Investigation, Volunteer and Media/PR program areas and staff. His dog, Murray, oversees him.
LOS ANGELES Its 1994 all over again, with a re-release of The Lion King opening at the top of the box ofce. A 3-D version of the wildly popular Disney animated musical earned a surprising $29.3 million in its rst weekend in theaters, according to Sunday estimates. The original lm made more than $40 million when it opened nationwide 17 years ago. This huge number stunned many people, including the folks at Disney, who gured The Lion King would make somewhere between $10 million and $12 million, said Dave Hollis, the studios executive vice president of distribution. He said the movie remains relevant and as entertaining as it was when it rst came out. But taking a page from the movie, there is a circle of life thing happening, he said, referring to one of the lms themes. You have children of the 90s who are now parents of the 2010s and they themselves are taking their kids to share what was, for them, a great experience two decades ago. It also helps that there arent many options for families at the multiplex right now, said Paul Dergarabedian, box-ofce analyst for Hollywood.com. The post-summer period brings a preponderance of R-rated lms and more challenging, esoteric, Oscar-caliber fare, he said. For kids this is like a dream come true and for parents to be able to revisit The Lion King especially in 3-D, even though 3-D has taken a bad rap over the past year just tells you the power that this movie has, how strong it resonates with people. Hollis said that while the lm was also available in 2-D, 92 percent of the opening weekends business came from 3-D showings. The story of a wrongly exiled lion prince (voiced by Jonathan Taylor Thomas as a cub and Matthew Broderick as an adult) who must return home to claim his throne, The Lion King was the second-highest-grossing lm of 1994, behind Forrest Gump. It ranks fourth on the all-time animated list with over $784 million. It earned Academy Awards for Hans Zimmers original score and for original song for Elton John and Tim Rices Can You Feel the Love Tonight.
The Lion King rst opened in theaters in 1994. The 3-D version of the movie made $29.3 million over the weekend.
$44.2 million. Among the other new releases, the critical darling Drive came in at No. 3 with just over $11 million. Ryan Gosling stars as a stoic wheelman in the retro action picture from FilmDistrict. Straw Dogs, a remake of the 1971 Sam Peckinpah thriller from Sony Screen Gems, opened in fth place with only $5 million. It stars James Marsden and Kate Bosworth as a married couple under siege in the rural South. I Dont Know How She Does It, based on the best-seller of the same name, came in at No. 6 with just $4.5 million. The Weinstein Co. comedy stars Sarah Jessica Parker as a wife and mother of two struggling to balance her home life with her demanding job. Dergarabedian said such disappointing showings arent all that surprising this time of year. Last weekend was the slowest so far this year at the box ofce. Its been tough marketplace for wide releases. The newcomers are being met with some indifference, he said. The audience was obviously a family audience that took over the multiplex this weekend.

Martin Scorsese. My heart is pounding. You are a legend, Dinklage said. The ceremony aired by Fox opened with a pre-taped comedy sketch that generated controversy because Alec Baldwins part was cut after he included a joke about the News Corp. phone hacking scandal. Fox is a unit of News Corp. Baldwin tweeted that Fox killed the joke about the hacking scandal in Britain involving the now-closed News of the World tabloid. Fox said it believed the joke was inappropriate to make light of an issue being taken very seriously by the company. Leonard Nimoy stepped in and the bit was retaped. It featured host Jane Lynch celebrating television in a musical number, singing about TV as a vast wonderland, a kingdom of joy in a box. Oh, theres Betty White. Shes the reason we start the show at 5 p.m. Lynch cracked during her opening monologue. Charlie Sheen presented the lead actor award, using his time onstage to make nice with his former Two and a Half Men colleagues. He was red from the show after bitterly clashing with its producer and studio, and was replaced by Ashton Kutcher. From the bottom of my heart, I wish you nothing but the best for this upcoming season, he said. I know you will continue to make great television. Modern Family won the rst four Emmys, capturing best supporting comedy actress, best supporting comedy actor, best writing for a comedy and best direction for a comedy series.

LOS ANGELES The Emmys keep buying what Mad Men is selling. The 1960s Madison Avenue saga won its fourth consecutive best drama series award Sunday, while big-hearted romp Modern Family claimed its second best comedy trophy. Modern Family producer Steve Levitan, whose picture of the American family today includes gay couples and interracial families, told of being approached during shooting by a real-life gay couple who wanted to say thanks. They said, Youre not just making people laugh, youre making them more tolerant, said Levitan, whose show received a total of ve awards. While Mad Men gained the top drama award, it couldnt pull honors for stars Jon Hamm or Elisabeth Moss. Kyle Chandler was the surprise winner in the best drama actor category for the last season of Texas football drama Friday Night Lights, blocking odds-on favorites among his fellow nominees, including Hamm. I knew for a fact I would not be standing here. I did not write anything and now Im starting to worry, said Chandler, who also beat out Steve Buscemi of Boardwalk Empire. It was a fitting victory for Chandler and Friday Night Lights, which was critically acclaimed but struggled for an audience, and whose high school football teams motto was, clear eyes, full hearts, cant lose. Julianna Margulies won top drama acting honors for The Good Wife. Margulies, who navigates politics, law and family in the show, added to her Emmy stash. As part of

Melissa McCarthy of Mike & Molly was honored as best lead actress in a comedy series with an Emmy and a glitzy prom queens crown, while Jim Parsons of The Big Bang Theory earned his second trophy in the best actor category. Holy smokes. Wow, its my rst and best pageant ever, said a beaming McCarthy. Im from Plaineld, Ill., and Im standing here and its kind of amazing. Moments earlier, she and her fellow nominees had broken with tradition by jumping up on stage as their names were called, led by Amy Poehler of Parks and Recreation. They earned a standing ovation from many in the audience, which seemed tting in a year in which TV shows and movies are giving women edgier leading roles. Among them is the box-ofce hit Bridesmaids, which featured McCarthy. Parsons looked genuinely surprised at his victory. This is so odd for so many reasons. I was assured by many people in my life that this wasnt happening, he said. The rst awards in the drama category went to Jason Katims of Friday Night Lights for outstanding writing, and Margo Martindale, named best supporting actress for the show Justied. Sometimes, things just take time. But with time comes great appreciation, said the veteran actress. Peter Dinklage, the winning actor in the category for sci- fantasy Game of Thrones, was awed by another winner, lmmaker Martin Scorsese, who received a directing trophy for Boardwalk Empire. Thanks.

Consumers, however, spent less in the city last year as the report shows sales tax collections fell 6 percent below last years take to $3.7 million. Revenue from the citys hotels rised unexpectedly to $1.3 million, 14 percent higher than the previous year and more than $200,000 than the city expected. Revenue from other sources was up

Capote and Blanco were focused on the educational programs. Capote wanted a stronger focus on technology, specically for students by integrating it into the classroom. Blanco, on the other hand, saw a need to focus on simply growing student achievement since many of the schools are in program improvement a national classication under the federal No Child Left Behind law which means the schools are not meeting federal academic standards. While the top issue may differ, the four all had strong opinions about both spending and providing quality education. The district sold the Carl Sandburg school site in 2005 for $30.5 million. A waiver was granted by the state allowing the district choices in how to use the money. Its been spent in a variety of ways including paying off post employee costs, which frees up about $200,000 annually for the district. Funds were also dipped into to cover smaller costs like special education. When it came to this money, candidates didnt agree with all the decisions made. Zelnik thought the district wasnt truthful in how it has been spending the funds. He also criticized putting $6 million toward unfunded pensions, which he said wasnt funded annually in the past. Martinez, on the other hand, defended the decision and pointed to the annual savings for the general fund as a result. The pot of money, he added, will help fund the larger technology vision for the district. Capote wasnt necessarily opposed to decisions with the Sandburg funds, but thought the process and communication about the rationale wasnt done properly. He would have liked to see a community committee that not only oversaw decisions but also better articulated the reasons behind spending decisions. For Blanco, more of the money should have been used toward upgrading Parkside Intermediate School. She noted that a community committee had come up with the need to create a state-of-the-art facility. And while that goal is still in place, she would have liked more of the Sandburg money to fund the transformation. Most of the money is earmarked and funding is still tight. Capote suggested partnerships as one

down the road. Specically, not having a director of special education, he said, has added to the superintendents work load. Hiring a person would be costly up front but could better meet students needs and create in-house programs that would cost lest than paying for specialized services from outside vendors. Improving student achievement could be aided by reaching out to parents, according to Zelnik and Blanco. Blanco wanted greater outreach to parents, which she said started with offering information like report cards in both English and Spanish. Also, reaching out to give parents the ability to get involved will also help with achievement. Zelnik agreed but wanted to train parents in the different ways a child could learn. Doing so, he argued, would allow parents to better help children with their school work. Martinez thought outreach to the community was also important but in terms of educating about the larger issues like the impacts of state budget decisions.

Each row and each column must contain the numbers 1 through 6 without repeating.

Freebies: Fill in single-box cages with the number in the top-left corner.
In the next year, it will be far easier and quicker to finalize important matters yourself rather than depend on others to do things for you. When something is vital, youll have no trouble dedicating yourself to the endeavor.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Be on your toes, because something unexpected might occur that would permit you to tie two loose ends together, allowing you to pull off an otherwise impossible feat. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- A situation similar to one you recently handled successfully could repeat itself.
With experience under your belt, you wont have any hesitation about taking it on. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- If youre in need of some assistance, turn first to those whom you recently helped. Theyre likely to be the ones who make some time to assist you when you need it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- There are indications that you might get the opportunity to merge two new projects into one major endeavor. Although theyll be unrelated, theyll complement each other well. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Instead of avoiding all challenges, you should boldly step forward and meet them head-on. Provocation serves to awaken your strongest qualities and resolve to win. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Having multiple
activities awaiting you will prove energizing, so block out your time to handle a full schedule. Having a lack of things to do could be tiring. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Take matters into your own hands if those who were delegated to do certain jobs for you arent performing up to snuff. It will be much easier simply to do things yourself. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Although youre exceptionally perceptive, with your judgment being quite keen, you might not follow through on your shrewd instincts. Dont waste good thinking. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Instead of just blowing the hours away on petty issues or activities, give priority to situations that could be meaningful in material ways. Focus on things that will yield immediate returns.
