City weighs medical pot ban


Redwood City has moratorium in place,could allow limited facilities
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

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

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.

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.

Lovato to young girls with problems:Seek help
NEW YORK Singer Demi Lovato thanked her fans at a concert for supporting her after she entered rehab last year and encouraged young girls to seek help if they are dealing with similar problems. A year ago today ... I was not in a good place, the 19-year-old said at her concert Saturday night. I needed help and I want anybody in this audience to know that if youre struggling with one of the issues that I dealt with or a different issue, that you can get help, that you can recover and its possible if you just tell someone. Lovato entered a treatment facility for three months last year to deal with emotional and physical issues. The singeractress said as an 8-year-old who faced bullying she had an eating disorder and later started cutting her wrists to vent her despair. She performed a show at New Yorks Hammerstein ballroom, just days ahead of the release of third album, Unbroken. Lovato was beginning to play her latest song, Skyscraper, when she stopped to address the crowd. There are so many beautiful girls in this audience that dont know that theyre beautiful, but they just are, she said. So I want to thank you guys for being there for me every single day I was away. I wouldnt be here without you guys today. Concertgoers screamed I love you while Lovato spoke and one girl held a sign that read: Demi makes me strong! After performing Skyscraper, she sang a cover of Lil Waynes recent hit How to Love, a song about womens insecurities and their struggles to nd love. Lovato was the star of the Disney Channel series Sonny With a Chance before she announced she was leaving the show in April.

n 1769, Captain Gaspar de Portola was the rst European to experience and record an earthquake in California. It happened about 30 miles southeast of Los Angeles. The expedition continued its trip north and eventually found themselves camping in a small, beautiful valley that had a stream owing through the middle of it. A beautiful valley, Portola commented. On Nov. 30, 1774, when Captain Fernando Riveras exploratory group was returning from their exploration trip to San Francisco, they stopped in a little valley they named Canada de San Andres Valley (later spelled Andreas) to honor their patron saint, St. Andrew. These men thought it was a beautiful little valley. Eventually this valley was discovered to have a great more inuence on California than anyone could imagine. From the air, it appears to be to have been made from a nice sharp knife cut a large knife. It is denitely a uniquely formed valley. In 1893, geologist Andrew Lawson recognized this quaint valley as having been formed by a tremendous fault that ran the length of California the San Andreas Fault. In the 1950s, a little known article published by a geologist, Alfred Wagner, stated that the crust of the earth had moved and is still moving. An earthshaking idea at that time. Impossible, skeptics said. Now, however, after examination of the oceans and mountains around the world, we know that it is a fact. We live on what is named the Pacic Plate.

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.

Body found may be missing nursing student


By Garance Burke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

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.

State tries new path for parole violators


By Don Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

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.

Lost iPhone another major headache for Apple security


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

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

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.

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.

GOP candidates revive private Social Security idea


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

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.

Yemeni forces open fire on protesters


By Ahmed al-Haj
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

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.

Palestinians build state Frustration, zeal mix in


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

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.

siege of Gadha bastion

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.

Internet sales tax compromise sign of progress Kitty Lopez


Ventura County Star

Other voices

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.

leads the way


itty Lopez, executive director of Samaritan House, is the new president of the San Mateo Rotary Club. It wasnt that long ago that women werent even allowed to be members. But those days are long gone. In fact Kitty is among several community leaders who have taken over the gavel at the once all-male service club. The rst was Anne LeClair, now head of the countys convention and visitors bureau. She crashed through the glass ceiling and the Rotary hasnt been the same since. Thirty-one women are now members. Other female presidents have included Barbara Evers of Borel Bank; Margaret Taylor, former county health chief; Linda Asbury, San Mateo Chamber head; and Realtor Lynn Armenio. *** Some think of Rotary as a stodgy club of old men talking about business over lunch. Instead, its a generous group of professionals of all ages who contribute their money and time to the community. The San Mateo Rotary Club which meets once at week for a power lunch at Poplar Creek includes many of the countys political leaders, past and present: Assemblyman Jerry Hill, Supervisor Carole Groom, County Superintendent of Schools Anne Cambell; San Mateo City Council members John Lee, David Lim and soon-to-be-elected Maureen Freschet; San Mateo Park and Recreation Director Sheila Canzian, former nance director John de Russy and present director David Culver; and San Mateo Police Chief Susan Manheimer. Members also include several school principals: Joanne Day, Baywood; Pat Kurtz, Aragon; Yvonne Shiu, Hillsdale; Jeanne Elliot, Bayside; former Aragon principal Mark Avelar and former Hillsdale principal Don Leydig. Many nonprot leaders are also members. In addition to Kitty, John Kelly, former head of Samaritan House; Mitch Postel of the county historical association; Rachel Meyer, Coyote Point Museum; Marsha Eddleman, San Mateo Library Foundation, to name a few. *** Currently, there are 145 members. They raised $87,500 in scholarships last year for middle school and high school students going to college and contributed $24,900 to community projects such as the San Mateo Library, the Police Activities League and HIP Housing. Between 1991 and 2011, Rotarians raised $549,000 for college scholarships for middle school students. Each year, 25 eighth graders are selected and given $500 to be set aside for college. If they meet goals they set for themselves, they receive an extra $100 each year of high school. Rotarians interview students at high schools and middle schools to determine need and likelihood of success, work with students to set goals and mentor them throughout the school year. Often students who receive these scholarships are not able to nd monetary awards elsewhere since Rotarians are primarily interested in need. *** One popular fundraiser is Rotarys 5K and 10K walk/run held at Seal Point Park. This years event will take place 9 a.m. Oct. 16. Last year, the club raised $12,000 in scholarships. For more information about the race see www.sanmateorotaryfunrun.com. *** Longtime San Mateo resident (and Rotary member) June Lamb has written an amazing book about how she dealt with tragedy and trauma in her life (the loss of her high school ancee in World War II; her husbands losing battle with brain cancer; her challenges in caring for an incapacitated spouse while raising three children) and survived. She tells her personal story alongside case examples drawn from her years as a licensed family therapist. The Learning Journey is published by Balboa books. You would never know the past suffering behind Junes smile and sunny disposition. June leads an active life as a community volunteer and continues her work as a family therapist, specializing in helping families challenged by life-threatening illness. She is an inspiration to all. *** Former state senator and one-time San Mateo resident (shes a graduate of Aragon High School) Liz Figueroa has a new job. Shes the vice president of public affairs for Planned Parenthood with ofces in San Jose and Sacramento. Planned Parenthood just opened a new facility in downtown San Mateo on El Camino Real near Mills Hospital. Their clinic was formerly located on Palm Avenue.

Letters to the editor


Whos in control?
Editor, Regarding the letter, McDonalds does not deserve praise for cleaning, in the Sept. 16 edition of the Daily Journal, who is in control here? Is it the consumer, the businesses that respond to the consumers demands or the government that seems to think they have to make a regulation or law for every conceivable thing? Letter writer Scott Grinthals position is typical of what is becoming the way we should run our lives or have them run for us. McDonalds do not have one single thing on their menu that I choose to eat. I never go to McDonalds, Burger King or any other fast food outlet. I do not recall any instances where any of these places forced you to come into their establishments, held you on the ground and forced their food into your mouth. Your children eat this food because you choose to let them. If you feel that these places do not serve healthy food, dont go there. Sooner or later, they will get the message. All that is happening here is knee jerk and meaningless reaction. You, Mr. Grinthal are in control, no one else. them to double fence and upgrade their facilities, (Teens missing from detention center spotted in Woodside, in the Sept. 14 edition of the Daily Journal). It is time to move the camp adjacent to the Youth Service Center where the old Hillcrest facility was located. The county, the juvenile court and probation department had many wakeup calls for decades about its deciencies. Todays reality is that we have offenders who may be committed to such facilities who have more serious undocumented histories of crime, gangs and violence and social maladjustment in numbers that contrast sharply from the pernicious malcontents of the 1960s. Parents need to be actively involved in treatment. This camps managerial oversight is understaffed and underperforming while its infrastructure is outdated. There are no longitudinal studies that track the inmates for 10 years who have participated in the program. Comparative yearly performance audits that measure results need improvement. It is also nonsensical thinking by the County Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Commission which stated that a fence is not a guarantee there will be no escapes, and it could lull staff into a false sense of security resulting in more walkaways, not less. Former Supervisor Mark Church agrees that putting up a fence would change the culture and environment of the facility. Most kids progress well and are returned home to their parents after being provided with the tools for success. If staff is lulled into a false sense of security they will either be dead, wounded, become hostages or be very lucky, as criminal institutions are very dangerous places.

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

Smart money flummoxed


By David K. Randall
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

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.

UBS CEO not resigning,loss at $2.3 billion


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

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.

GOP not always against entitlements


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

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.

Romo rallies Cowboys past Niners


By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

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.

Raiders suffer collapse


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

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.

Sandoval homers twice; Giants win


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

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-

two minutes with the half winding down. The scores came at the end of 65 and 72-yard drives, with his playmakers doing the bulk of the work to get the quarterback within a couple of yards of the end zone. Its really a good thing to have, Plattsmier said of his running backs. You just roll out, give them the ball and they do the rest for you. Thats the best thing about this offense, we have a lot of playmakers. Plattsmier isnt too shabby himself he ran the ball 10 times for 93 yards. In a typical offense, your quarterback is making reads on pass plays, not on running plays. In our offense, hes reading in the run game, so hes always got pressure on him to read something correctly, so as the quarterback goes in this offense, so does the team. CSM took a comfortable 24-0 lead into recess. Anderson added to that lead less than ve minutes into the third quarter with a 28-yard eld goal. The Bulldogs kept getting the ball to the outside and wore down the Reedley defense. With 5:18 left in the third, McDaniel crossed the goal line on a well-deserved touchdown. The running back/slot nished the game with 97 yards rushing on only eight carries. He also caught two passes for 42 yards. At the end of three quarters, CSM led 34-0. The Bulldogs would take less than a minute to make it 41-0, this time scoring hard ones. Well see what happens. When you get the hard ones, its tough to get the easy ones, Sandoval said. I wasnt thinking about the cycle, you just want to get a pitch to drive the guy in. I got a good pitch, and I hit a home run. Fontenot had given the Giants a 2-0 lead with a two-run homer in the rst. Colorado scored twice each in the fourth and fth innings to close the gap, but a solo homer by Crawford helped the Giants stay comfortably ahead. Ty Wigginton and Seth Smith had two Campbell went 23 of 33 for 323 yards and two scores. We need to nish better, he said. When youre up 21-3, you have to sustain leads, especially when youre on the road. Fred Jackson scored twice and had 117 yards rushing, and Ryan Fitzpatrick nished 28 of 46 for 264 yards and three touchdowns for the Bills. The Raiders (1-1) couldnt overcome a short week while playing their second straight road game. Darren McFadden on defense. Chris Miller (Serra) picked a Reedley fumble and ran 48 yards into the end zone. It was tting reward for a defense that had shut down a Reedley offense that a week before had put up 33 points on good Foothilll team. Our mindset straight up was to shut everything down, said CSM defensive back Alex Hubbard. We wanted a goose egg on the board, were upset they got 14 points on the board; Were going to go back to work on Monday to x that. Thats San Mateo football, baby. Were trying to hit everything that moves. The Bulldogs would score once again, a rushing touchdown courtesy of Jarrell Brown (Hillsdale), before Reedley nally found the end zone. The Tigers scored twice in a four-minute span to make things 48-14. You cant fake football, Pollack said, and by that I mean you cant fake passion. You can go out there, prepare to the best of your ability, play to the best of your ability, coach to the best of your ability, and thats all you can do. Whatever happens, happens. Our saying is, the pain of regret is greater than the pain of discipline, ... that was the message this week. We honestly thank Fresno for that lesson. We didnt play together against Fresno. We played together today. We played with emotion. We played with passion. It was an effort worth taking a picture of. hits each for Colorado, which has lost ve of six.

When you do that, youre going to get hit by good big league hitters. Thats exactly what happened. scored twice, and Moore had ve catches for 146 yards and a touchdown a 50-yarder with 3:41 left to give Oakland a 35-31 lead. It was up and down all day, Fitzpatrick said. We started slow on offense, but once we got that thing rolling, every time we had the ball we were going to score a touchdown. Oakland appeared well in control after scoring on each of its nal three drives of the rst half, capped by Campbells 1yard plunge.

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.

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.

Verlander improves to 24-5 with win over As


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

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.

Sports brief
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.

Diamondbacks magic number to 5


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO With the San Francisco Giants getting hot, the Arizona Diamondbacks know they have to keep winning. Joe Saunders took a ve-hitter into the ninth inning, Paul Goldschmidt drove in three runs and the Diamondbacks beat

the San Diego Padres 5-1 Sunday to cut the magic number to ve for their rst NL West title since 2007. 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. When you relax, things come easier to you. I think thats what happened. They didnt try to do to much and we just played our game.

Cam cant beat Pack; Brady strong in Pats win


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Patriots 35, Chargers 21


FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Tom Brady threw for 423 yards six days after setting a singlegame team record of 517 in leading New England. Brady had three touchdown passes and tied for the third most yards passing in club history, going Tom Brady 31 of 40 with no interceptions as the Patriots (2-0) scored on each of their four rst-half possessions. The Chargers (1-1) turned the ball over inside the Patriots 35 three times, leading to 17 points. They also were stopped on a fourthand-goal at the 1, and the Patriots started a 99yard drive that ended with one of Bradys two scoring passes to Rob Gronkowski. Philip Rivers threw for 378 yards for the Chargers.

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.

Lions 48, Chiefs 3


DETROIT Matthew Stafford threw two of his four TD passes to Calvin Johnson and Detroit came away with its largest margin of victory in a regular season game. The Lions broke the mark they set with a 44-0 win over expansion Jacksonville in 1995 and matched the record set in the 1957 NFL title game when they beat Cleveland 59-14. The Lions (2-0) led Kansas City 20-3 at halftime and 41-3 early in the fourth quarter after turning two fumbles into TDs. The Chiefs (0-2) lost more than the game when All-Pro running back Jamaal Charles was carted off the eld midway through the rst quarter with what appeared to be a serious left knee injury.

Jets 32, Jaguars 3


EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Mark Sanchez threw two touchdown passes as the offense started quickly and Antonio Cromartie had two of New Yorks four interceptions of Luke McCown. After having not scored an offensive TD in the rst quarter in 16 games, the Jets (2-0) won the toss, elected to receive a rarity under the defensive-minded Rex Ryan and scored on a 17-yard catch by Santonio Holmes. First-round pick Muhammad Wilkerson had his rst NFL sack for a safety early in the game, helping set the tone for a long day for McCown and the Jaguars (1-1).

Browns 27, Colts 19


INDIANAPOLIS Peyton Hillis ran for 94 yards and two touchdowns, Colt McCoy threw for 211 yards and a score and Cleveland ended a five-game losing streak against Peyton Manning-less Indianapolis. The Colts are 0-2 for the rst time since 1998, and Manning likely will miss two months following his third neck surgery in 20 months. The Browns rebounded with their rst win for new coach Pat Shurmur after a loss to the Bengals last week. With Kerry Collins starting again, the Colts never seriously challenged Browns after falling behind 14-9 late in the rst half. Collins nished 19 of 38 for 191 yards with one interception, one TD and a lost fumble.

Redskins 22, Cardinals 21


LANDOVER, Md. Graham Gano kicked a 34-yard eld goal with 1:45 remaining as Washington rallied from an eight-point, fourth-quarter decit. The Redskins (2-0) beat the Cardinals (1-1) for the eighth time in a row. Santana Moss 18-yard catch on fourth down with 5:17 remaining pulled Washington within two, but the 2-point conversion attempt failed. After a Cardinals punt, the Redskins got the ball back at their own 36 with 4:20 to play and drove to Arizonas 16 to set up Ganos kick.

Texans 23, Dolphins 13


MIAMI Andre Johnson caught a 23yard touchdown pass from Matt Schaub that helped Houston get off to s 2-0 start. Miamis sieve-like pass defense was no match for Johnson and Schaub, who threw for 230 yards and had a quarterback rating of 118.5. Johnson made seven catches for 93 yards. The Dolphins committed two turnovers, had a 22-yard eld-goal attempt blocked and missed a 34-yarder. Daniel Thomas rushed for 107 yards in his NFL debut, but Chad Henne

Broncos 24, Bengals 22


DENVER Kyle Orton threw two TD passes to Eric Decker, Willis McGahee ran for another score and John Fox gained his rst win as Denvers coach.

Steelers 24, Seahawks 0


PITTSBURGH Ben Roethlisberger threw for 298 yards and a touchdown as the Steelers put their opening week loss to Baltimore behind them. Mike Wallace caught eight passes for 126 yards and a score and Rashard Mendenhall ran for 67 yards and a touchdown for the Steelers (1-1), who limited the listless Seahawks (0-2) to 164 total yards. A week after committing seven turnovers while getting whipped by rival Baltimore, the Steelers worked with relentless efficiency against Seattle. Roethlisberger shook off a gimpy right knee to complete 22 of 30 passes, and the defense kept Seattle from taking an offensive snap on Pittsburghs side of the eld until midway through the fourth quarter.

Saints 30, Bears 13


NEW ORLEANS Drew Brees threw for three touchdowns and New Orleans defense beat up on Jay Cutler. Brees scoring strikes included a 79-yarder to Devery Henderson. Darren Sproles scored on a 12-yard swing pass and Robert Meachem had a 4-yard TD reception as the Saints (1-1) bounced back from an opening week loss to Green Bay. Facing heavy blitzing and without injured receiver Roy Williams, Cutler passed for 244 yards and a score, but was sacked six times and fumbled once. Running back Matt Forte had 117 yards receiving to go with 49 yards rushing for Chicago (1-1), which lost guard Gabe Carimi and safety Major Wright to injuries after entering the game without several other injured starters.

Titans 26, Ravens 13


NASHVILLE, Tenn. Matt Hasselbeck threw for 358 yards and a touchdown, and Tennessee gave new coach Mike Munchak a big win in the home opener.

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.

3-D Lion Kingfeels the love


By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

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.

Top ten movies


1. The Lion King 3D, $29.3 million. ($700,000 international.) 2.Contagion,$14.5 million. ($1.3 million international.) 3.Drive,$11 million. 4.The Help,$6.4 million.($1.1 million international.) 5.Straw Dogs,$5 million. 6.I Dont Know How She Does It,$4.5 million.($800,000 international.) 7.The Debt, $2.9 million. ($1 million international.) 8.Warrior, $2.8 million. ($400,000 international.) 9.Rise of the Planet of the Apes,$2.6 million. 10.Colombiana,$2.3 million.
Last weeks No. 1 movie, Steven Soderberghs Contagion, dropped a spot in its second weekend. The Warner Bros. viral thriller made about $14.5 million for a total of

$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. Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell, who play husband and wife on the series, won best supporting actor honors 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.

passed the Medical Marijuana Program Act to clarify vague portions of the proposition. In August 2011, the Legislature passed another bill giving local government more power to regulate marijuana distribution facilities through enforcement of zoning regulations. Regardless of state law, dispensaries and users can still run into problems with federal enforcement. Redwood City officials are choosing to use the term medical marijuana distribution facilities in the proposed ordinance to avoid any legal distincas well. Fees from planning and building permits climbed 53 percent higher than the previous year and franchise taxes climbed 7 percent over the same period to $1.1 million, according to Tolers report. Income from securities investment was up 32 percent over the previous year and rental income income was also up by 4 percent. At the end of the fiscal year, the citys general fund realized 5 percent savings compared to what it had appropriated for the citys various departments. The public works department spent 12.9 percent less than what was appropriated and the City Clerks office spent 36.1 percent less than was appropriated because the city eliminated a receptionist position. tions between cooperatives and dispensaries. Likewise, the city is looking at a zoning ordinance rather than a full-out prohibition because California law is still unclear on if a permanent ban is legal. Under the bill adopted in August, cities can instead enforce through land use. If you go, the Planning Commission meets 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 20 at City Hall, 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City. Public safety savings were moderate, however, as the police department spent 2.8 percent less than was expected and the fire department spent just .2 percent less than was appropriated. The citys redevelopment agency saw savings of 17.5 percent last year, although much of that was from salary savings and general plan costs that were deferred into the FY 2011-12 budget. In total, the various departments turned back more than $1.4 million in expenditure savings, according to Tolers report. The Foster City Council will hear the quarterly report at its meeting tonight, 6:30 p.m., City Hall, 620 Foster City Blvd., Foster City.

in the report. Regulation of medical marijuana is challenging, with local, state and federal laws often conflicting. California voters passed the Compassionate Use Act, in 1996, allowing sick patients to either grow their own marijuana or have a primary caregiver grow it for them. In 2003, the state Legislature

according to Tolers report. The city collected nearly $13.4 million in property taxes for fiscal year 2011, which just ended in June. 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

way to weather the storm. He suggested reaching out to the local business community to help sponsor construction projects or education programs. In addition, Capote thought the district should consider having a full-time grant writer and work more closely with local foundations. Zelnik disagreed. He added that, with so many districts hurting, the foundations and grants are more difcult to attain and business partnerships have been an option for years. Zelnik saw the budget issue as more black and white the district has less and needs to work with what it has. Blanco and Martinez both noted the district has been working on ideas like implementing solar panels to later offset electricity costs for the district. Martinez also said the slim staff could be increased to have create a savings

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.

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.
