The recommendation that an
oversight committee dissolve the
mosquito control district and trans-
fer responsibility to San Mateo
County leaves one big question
unanswered does the county
even want it?
I cant speak for the staff but it
would be OK with me, said
Supervisor Carole Groom of the
dissolution recommendation by
Martha Poyatos, executive director
of the Local Agency Formation
Commission.
LAFCo, which is state mandated
and independent, oversees special
districts like the San Mateo County
Mosquito and Vector Control
District that was reviewed and rec-
ommended for dissolution follow-
ing an alleged half-million dollar
embezzlement by its former nance
director and accounting supervisor.
The recommendation calls for the
countys Health System to absorb
the districts duties under its
Environmental Health division.
But to do so, San Mateo County
would have to agree to be the suc-
cessor agency and Environmental
Health Director Dean Peterson
doesnt favor the idea.
In a July 6 letter to Poyatos,
Peterson said the Health System is
committed to following through
with the countys decision but did
not recommend dissolution as the
district has fullled its mission of
effectively and efciently control-
ling mosquitoes and other vector
born diseases. Peterson also said it
was unfortunate that the strong
reputation and identity in the com-
munity that the district developed
had been lost.

Pill to help
prevent HIV
gets FDAs OK
By Matthew Perrone
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON The Food and
Drug Administration on Monday
approved the rst drug shown to
reduce the risk of HIV infection, the
latest milestone in the 30-year battle
against the virus that causes AIDS.
The agency approved Foster City-
based Gilead Sciences pill Truvada
as a preventive measure for healthy
people who are at high risk of
acquiring HIV through sexual activ-
ity, such as those who have HIV-
infected partners. The decision
comes less than two weeks after the
agency approved another landmark
product: the rst over-the-counter
HIV test that Americans can use in
the privacy of their homes.
The two developments are seen as
the biggest steps in years toward
curbing the spread of HIV in the
U.S., which has held steady at about
50,000 new infections per year for
the last 15 years. An estimated 1.2
million Americans have HIV, which
develops into AIDS unless treated
with antiviral drugs. And its esti-
mated that one-fifth, or about
240,000 people, are unaware that
they are infected.
I think the combination of self-
testing and a medicine that you can
take at home to prevent infection

A $72 million bond measure will
go before San Carlos voters in
November, a bid by the school dis-
trict to raise funds to add capacity
for the growing enrollment.
On Monday, the San Carlos
Elementary School District Board
of Trustees voted unanimously to
put a bond measure on the
November ballot. As written, such a
measure would cost an estimated
$30 per $100,000 of a propertys
assessed value, according to the res-
olution. If approved, the measure
could raise up to $72 million for the
district to use toward facilities and
requires a 55 percent passage rate.
Such funds could be used for updat-
ing technology, repairing schools,
improving trafc safety, reducing
overcrowding and upgrading energy

If you want it, the Peninsula
Roller Girls have it.
The flat-track derby specialists
get their fair share of bumps and
bruises and even the occasional bro-
ken leg as they attempt to reignite
interest in a sport that once had mil-
lions of followers.
The Peninsula Roller Girls might
have funny alter egos on the rink
such as Pour Decision, Brute E. Pie
and Bella Trixx the Strange but they
are all serious about learning and
competing in the sport of at-track
derby. Some even have ideas it will
one day be an Olympic event.
This is not co-ed banked-track
roller derby. There are no elbows to
the head, chairs ying or the the-
atrics of big-time wrestling.
Today, modern roller derby is
dominated by all-female amateur
teams and has 1,200 leagues all over
the world.
This is a contact sport and a
place to get out a bad day, Allison
Kennon-Frink said before practice
Thursday night at the Redwood
Roller Rink in Redwood City. Her
alter ego on the rink is Rat Frink

90-year-old Maine
man skydives for first time
PITTSFIELD, Maine A Maine man
who learned how to use a parachute as a
Navy pilot during World War II has nal-

Lester Slate of Exeter jumped out of a
plane for the rst time on Sunday at
Pittseld Airport and was guided to the
ground by a tandem jumper, and accom-
panied by another skydiver trailing a
U.S. ag.
The jump was a 90th birthday present
to himself. More than 50 family and
friends watched.
Slate tells the Bangor Daily News he
was inspired by former president George
H.W. Bush, who jumped from an air-
plane on his 85th birthday in 2009.
Slate says he had such a good time he
wants to do it again on his 95th or

town at the base of Mount McKinley into

Residents say theyre happy that their

L.A. sheriff: Man recovers
car 42 years after theft
LOS ANGELES A Texas man
whose prized sports car was stolen 42
years ago recovered the vehicle in
California after spotting it on eBay,
authorities said Sunday.
Robert Russell told the Los Angeles
County sheriffs ofcials that he had
never given up searching for the 1967
Austin-Healey after it was stolen from
his Philadelphia home in 1970.
The 66-year-old retired sales manager
from Southlake told the Dallas Morning
News he paid a friend $3000 for the car.
It had sentimental value to him because it
was stolen the morning after he took his
future wife out on their second date.
Russell said he spent years surng the
Internet looking for the car and didnt
have much hope of nding it.
The fact that the car still exists is
improbable, he said. It could have been
junked or wrecked.
He said he checked on eBay periodi-
cally and spotted it a few weeks ago. He
immediately called a Beverly Hills car
dealership that was selling it.
He said the vehicles identication
number matched that of his car. He had
the original key and car title, but not a
copy of the stolen-car report to prove that
it was stolen from him.
Russell contacted Philadelphia police
for help and learned that the stolen-car
report wasnt showing up at the FBIs
national crime index because one vehicle
identication number was entered incor-
rectly. The report was nally found and
the le was reactivated, enabling Los
Angeles authorities to impound the car.
State trooper ends
up with baby deer in car
BELLINGHAM, Wash. A
Washington State Patrol trooper who

month-old fawn in his car.
The patrol says when Trooper Scott
Brown arrived at the Bellingham scene
on Tuesday evening, other deer in the
area stayed back but the fawn possi-
bly orphaned by the collision ran up
to him. Trooper Mark Francis says the
baby deer nuzzled against Brown and
started "mewing."
Unsure what to do, Brown picked up
the fawn, loaded it into his patrol car and
drove it to Sarvey Wildlife Care Center
in Arlington.

Time is ticking to raise funds for the reno-
vation of the aging Millbrae Scout House and
volunteers are seeking donations to meet an
autumn deadline.
Renovating the community space is a joint
effort between the Millbrae Lions Club, the
Millbrae Elementary School District and the
city. Under the agreement, funds for the reno-
vation need to be raised no later than Sept. 30.
Originally, the estimated cost was $200,000,
most of which has been met through commu-
nity partnerships and donations. What remains
is raising $50,000. So far, about $21,000 has
been raised, said Fundraising Chair Denis
Fama.
The Lions Club has offered a $15,000
matching grant as a community challenge to
raise the remaining funds. Contributions from
individuals and corporations are needed to
gain access to the funds, said Fama.
The proposed Millbrae Community Youth
Center, known to most as the Scout House,
was built in 1954 for $16,000 through a large-
ly volunteer effort, labor and donated materi-
als. It sits on the school district property on
the southeast corner of Taylor Middle School.
The school district, Lions Club and city
signed an agreement to raise funds for the ren-
ovation by Jan. 1, 2012, which was since
extended. Once raised, the money will be used
to make repairs and upgrades to restore the
usefulness of the structure. The city will then
take over the space as a home for youth-
focused activities.
Work has already been started. Last year,
Rebuilding Together, a Redwood City non-
prot that partners with businesses to rehabil-
itate community organization facilities or the
homes of those in need, selected the Millbrae
Community Youth Center as a renovation
project. With the help of material donations
and volunteers coordinated with the help of
IFMA, International Facility Management
Association, the Scout House now has updat-
ed ooring, interior and exterior paint and
lighting. In addition, an entrance ramp was
installed. New doors and windows were
recently installed, furnishings and equipment
was also donated. But the building still needs
a new roof, seismic bracing and a new heating
system.
Other than making a straight donation, peo-
ple can support the effort by attending the
Spirit of Aloha, a tropical-themed evening
featuring food and wine, silent and live auc-
tions to be held 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Saturday,
Aug. 11 at the SFO Museum in the interna-
tional terminal of San Francisco International
Airport. Tickets are $45 per person payable to
the Rotary Club of Millbrae, P.O. Box 23,
Millbrae, CA 94030. Free parking will be
available. Attendees are asked to RSVP by
Aug. 6. Those with questions can contact
Janet Fogarty at 343-8332 or millbraeyouth-
center@mail.com.

All contributions are welcome and may be
sent to the Millbrae Community Foundation,

The 2-year-old boy who died in a
San Bruno house re Friday morn-
ing has been identied as Aakash
Prasad, according to the San Mateo
County Coroners Ofce.
The blaze was started by a reli-
gious candle in a hallway shrine and
the quick action of a nearby con-
struction crew helped to save the life
of at least one resident of the home,
San Bruno re ofcials said Friday.
The boy and his grandmother,
Lila Prasad, were reportedly found
unconscious after firefighters
responded to the Lake Drive home
before 9 a.m. Friday.
The woman was revived at the
scene and transported to a local hos-
pital but the boy died of smoke
inhalation. They were found in a
back bedroom and were trapped by
the flames from the two-alarm
blaze, according to re ofcials.
At least seven other relatives
escaped from the home. One, the
boys 69-year-old grandfather,
Gomta Prasad, suffered burns and
was also taken to the hospital.
Another resident escaped the
home when a nearby construction
crew put a ladder up to a bedroom
window, which the resident used to
climb down to safety.
A reghter also cut his hand
while entering the burning home
and required 10 stitches.
Damage from the re was con-
ned to the rear of the two-story
home on the Lake Drive cul-de-sac
and reghters only needed 15 min-
utes to extinguish it.
Fire ofcials estimated the dam-
age to the home to be about
$100,000.

Farm-fresh produce has been
available to San Bruno residents on
Saturday mornings since late May
and organizers hope to keep the
market open through Nov. 18.
San Brunos farmers market
debuted this year at a new location
The Shops at Tanforan parking
lot. It was moved by the San Bruno
Chamber of Commerce and Pacific
Coast Farmers Market in hopes of
boosting visibility. It opened May
20 using a conditional use permit.
Since then, no complaints have
been lodged. Tonight, the San
Bruno Planning Commission will
consider a conditional use permit
to allow the farmers market to
remain in place through Nov. 18.
For several years the weekly
market has been held in downtown
San Bruno. However, the number
of vendors had dwindled in recent
years. In hopes of revitalizing the
event, organizers moved it this
year to the Shops at Tanforan. In
April, the City Council approved
allowing the market to be located
at the shopping center site and
requested there be improvements
to pedestrian safety and vehicle
circulation.
As a result, a three-month tem-
porary permit was issued. It is up
to the Planning Commission to
determine if the market should
remain open, according to a staff
report.
An estimated 50 booths, taking
up about 70 parking spots, are
required for the farmers market.
To help with possible problems
with pedestrians and traffic, the
chamber suggested blocking off
two aisles of parking to create the
market. A pedestrian buffer area is
used and PCFM provides staff to
oversee circulation and safety at
each market.
Since the start of the markets,
city staff has not received any con-
cerns from city departments or
members of the public, according
to a staff report.
City staff put forward a proposal
with 34 conditions of approval that
would include a Shops at Tanforan
representative working with city
engineering staff to consider safety
enhancements for pedestrians.
The commission meets 7 p.m.
Tuesday, July 17 at the Senior
Center, 1555 Crystal Springs
Road, San Bruno. San Brunos
farmers market is held at The
Shops at Tanforan, in front of Ulta
adjacent to El Camino Real, from 9
a.m. to 1 p.m. Sundays.

Labor strike hits San
Francisco courthouses
Business was been disrupted at three court-
houses in San Francisco after more than 200
courtroom clerks and other workers walked
off the job for a one-day strike.
Members of Service Employees
International Union Local 1021 staged the
labor action Monday to pressure San
Francisco Superior Court managers to provide
internal information about the courts
nances.
SEIU spokesman Steve Stallone says union
negotiators want the information to show that
worker concessions court administrators are
seeking are unnecessary.
Court spokeswoman Ann Donlan said the
courthouse had not been shut down, but she
did not immediately provide details about
whether the strike had forced trials to be post-
poned or closed any ofces.
The targeted courthouses are where state
criminal, civil, probate and juvenile proceed-
ings are held.
Five charged with
disabled abuse appear in court
SAN JOSE Three family members
charged with severely neglecting a dozen
mentally disabled adults in their care in an
upscale San Jose home are now back into cus-

Suspects George Dac Nguyen, Jennifer Ngo
and Charles Nguyen were placed into custody
after a judge increased their bail to $500,000
during their court appearance in Santa Clara
County Superior Court on Monday.
The three had been released after each post-
ed $10,000 bail.
Prosecutor Charles Huang says he believe a
fourth suspect, Margaret Ngo, also scheduled

FONTANA In the foreclosure-battered
inland stretches of California, local govern-
ment ofcials desperate for change are weigh-
ing a controversial but inventive way to x
troubled mortgages: Condemn them.
Ofcials from San Bernardino County and
two of its cities have formed a local agency to
consider the plan. But investors who stand to
lose money on their mortgage investments
have been quick to register their displeasure.
Discussion of the idea is taking place in one
of the epicenters of the housing crisis, a work-
ing-class region east of Los Angeles where
housing prices have plummeted. Last week
brought another sharp reminder of the crisis
when the 210,000-strong city of San
Bernardino, struggling after shrunken home
prices walloped local tax revenues, announced
it would seek bankruptcy protection.
Now and amid skepticism on many
fronts ofcials from the surrounding coun-
ty of San Bernardino and cities of Fontana and
Ontario have created a joint powers authority
to consider what role local governments could
take to stem the crisis. The goal is to keep
homeowners saddled by large mortgage pay-
ments from losing their homes which are
now valued at a fraction of what they were
once worth.
We just have too much pain and misery in
this county to call off a public discussion like
this, said David Wert, a county spokesman.
The idea was broached by a group of West
Coast nanciers who suggest using the power
of eminent domain, which lets the government
seize private property for public use. In this
case, they would condemn troubled mortgages
so they could seize them from the investors
who own them. Then the mortgages would be
rewritten so the borrowers would have signif-
icantly lower monthly payments.
Steven Gluckstern, chairman of the newly
formed San Francisco-based Mortgage
Resolution Partners, says his main concern is
to help the economy, which is being held back
by the mortgage crisis.
This is not a bunch of Wall Street guys sit-
ting around saying, How do we make
money? he said. This was a bunch of Wall
Street guys sitting around saying, How do
you solve this problem?
Typically, eminent domain has been used to
clear property for infrastructure projects like
highways, schools and sewage plants. But
supporters say that giving help to struggling
borrowers is also a legitimate use of eminent
domain, because its in the public interest.
Under the proposal, a city or county would
sign on as a client of Mortgage Resolution
Partners, then condemn certain mortgages.
The mortgages are typically owned by private
investors like hedge funds and pension funds.
Under eminent domain, the city or county
would be required to pay those investors fair
value for the seized mortgages. So Mortgage
Resolution Partners would find private
investors to fund that.
Mortgage Resolution Partners will focus on
mortgages where the borrowers are current on
their payments but are under water, meaning
their mortgage costs more than the home is
worth. After being condemned and seized, the
mortgages would be rewritten based on the
homes current values. The borrowers would
get to stay, but with cheaper monthly pay-
ments. The city or county would resell the
loans to other private investors, so it could pay
back the investors who funded the seizure and
pay a at fee to Mortgage Resolution Partners.

SACRAMENTO The nations largest
public pension fund collected a dismal 1 per-
cent annual return on its investments, a gure
far short of projections that will likely bring
pressure on Californias state and local gov-
ernments to contribute more money, ofcials
said Monday.
The return reported by the California Public
Employees Retirement System was well
below its projected return of 7.5 percent for
the scal year that ended June 30 and is
prompting administrators to consider changes
to investment strategies.
The investment returns are critical because
taxpayers are on the hook for the difference if
the pension funds fail to meet their perform-
ance targets.
The last 12 months were a challenging
period for all investors, chief investment of-
cer Joe Dear said about the stock markets per-
formance amid the ongoing European debt
crisis and slow global economic growth.
The fund was most impacted by a 7 percent
drop in returns on global equities. Half the
pensions assets are in public equities, Dear
said.
The fund, known as CalPERS, runs a $234
billion pension system for more than 1.6 mil-
lion state employees, school employees and
local government workers.
The preliminary returns reported Monday
were even lower than the states pension fund
for teachers, which earned just 1.8 percent
from investments over the past year.
Dave Hitchcock, director of state and local
government ratings at Standard & Poors in
New York, said the funds low returns were
symptomatic of the entire nancial industry.
Were in an age of lower global returns than
what we saw 10 years ago, Hitchcock said.
Local government ofcials expressed disap-
pointment with the return. They said it should
underscore the need for pension reform.
Dwight Stenbakken, deputy executive
director of the League of California Cities,
said the current system relies too heavily on
earnings. When stocks, bonds, real estate and
other pension investments dont reach targets,
the difference has to be made up by taxpayers.
We are going to be experiencing this prob-
lem for a long time to come, Stenbakken
said.
Dear said the CalPERS returns would result
in increased contributions from the state,
school districts and municipalities, most of
which are already nancially stressed. It was-
nt immediately clear how much contributions
would increase.

SACRAMENTO Opponents of a law
that requires California public schools to
cover the contributions of gay, lesbian, bisex-
ual and transgender people have again failed
to qualify a ballot measure that would have
overturned the requirement.
Pacic Justice Institute lawyer Kevin Snider
said the Stop SB48 campaign did not gather
enough signatures by Mondays deadline to
put an initiative on the 2014 ballot that would
exclude sexual minorities from the list of
groups whose roles in history and social sci-
ence schools must teach.
Snider estimates that the all-volunteer peti-
tion circulating effort, which focused largely
on churches, collected about 446,000 signa-
tures out of the 504,760 required.
The groups earlier attempt to put the gay
history lesson law to a popular vote this year
also did not qualify.
Senate Bill 48 took effect in January, but
most school districts have not implemented it.

LOS ANGELES California
State University is facing the bleak
choice of either raising tuition or
shrinking enrollment if voters reject
tax increase measures on the
November ballot and a $250 million
funding cut goes into effect, of-
cials said Monday.
Assistant Vice Chancellor Robert
Turnage said the board of trustees
will discuss two scenarios at its
meeting Tuesday and adopt a plan
in September in order to be pre-
pared for the possibility of a loss in
funds midway through the academ-
ic year.
The easy choices are gone so the
$250 million trigger cut poses a
huge challenge, Turnage told
reporters on a conference call. We
have reached a point where its
nothing but difcult trade-offs.
CSU is one of the nations largest
public university systems with 23
campuses that serve some 400,000
students. Since 2007-08, it has lost
$1 billion, or 39 percent of its state
funding.
Voters in November will decide
on several measures aimed at gener-
ating more revenue for education,
including proposals to raise the
sales tax and increasing income
taxes on wealthy residents.
If the measures fail, public educa-
tion, from K-12 school districts to
universities, will see funding cuts at
year-end.
Turnage outlined two proposals
aimed at coping with CSUs possi-
ble cut of $250 million.
Under one scenario, enrollment
would remain stable but tuition
would be raised by roughly 5 per-
cent, or $150 per semester, starting
in January. Tuition for non-
California resident students would
be upped by 9 percent. That would
generate about $116 million in rev-
enue.
The rest of the funding gap would
be made up by slashing employee
salaries and benets by 2.5 percent,
drawing down reserves and defer-
ring facility maintenance projects.
Faculty time for research and other
non-teaching projects would also be
reduced in order to provide more
instructional hours. That would
save $25 million.
The alternative scenario is to
reduce enrollment levels, but keep
tuition the same.
Under that proposal, enrollment
would be decreased by 6,000 full-
time students, or about 1.5 percent.
In addition, 750 jobs would be lost
due to the loss of students, and
salaries and benets would be cut
by 5.25 percent.
The measures would be imple-
mented in January, but Turnage
noted that any pay cut would
require an agreement with labor
unions, which may take longer to
hammer out.
The university is also mulling
ways to meet the states tuition
buyout proposal in which the state
university systems would agree to
forego tuition increases for this fall,
in return receiving $125 million in
extra funding for the fall of 2013.
CSU must choose tuition
hike or enrollment cut

California treasurer seeking
divorce amid public troubles
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO State Treasurer Bill Lockyer has led for
divorce from his wife, who resigned her seat on the Alameda
County Board of Supervisors earlier this
year after her problems with substance
abuse and marital troubles played out pub-
licly.
The 71-year-old treasurer led Friday in
Alameda County Superior Court, citing
irreconcilable differences with Nadia
Lockyer, his spokesman, Tom Dresslar, said
Monday.
Bill Lockyer is seeking joint custody of
the couples 9-year-old son.
Lockyer wants two things: Above all, he
wants the matter resolved in a way that
serves the best interests of his son. Secondly,
he wants it handled as privately and as ami-
cably as possible, Dresslar said.
The Associated Press could not immedi-
ately contact Nadia Lockyer on Monday.
In an interview with the San Francisco
Chronicle, she said the couple agreed to
divorce earlier, but the ling was precipitat-
ed by an argument last week over family
security. She declined to elaborate.
The couples relationship troubles became public after Nadia
Lockyer, 41, claimed in February that she was assaulted in a
hotel by a former boyfriend whom she met in a drug and alco-
hol rehabilitation program. In April, the once-promising politi-
cian resigned her seat in Alameda County after enrolling in an
intensive substance abuse program.
Bill Lockyer is among the most inuential Democratic politi-
cians in California. He helped his wife, a political unknown, win
her seat in 2010 after transferring about $1.5 million from his
campaign committee to hers, enabling her to run an aggressive
campaign.
In April, an email that appeared to be sent from Nadia Lockyer
went to a newspaper, accusing her husband, a former state attor-
ney general, of supplying her with drugs a claim he denies.

CINCINNATI Using unusually
vivid language, Mitt Romney tried to
take the political offensive against
President Barack Obama on Monday,
accusing Obama of cronyism that
stinks in steering federal contracts to
supporters. He also dropped hints
through a spokesman that a vice presi-
dential pick could come any day.
Unfazed, Obama needled his
Republican rival for nally having a job-
creation plan for people overseas.
At the same time, though Romney
endeavored to switch the campaign
focus, questions about his tenure at Bain
Capital, a venture capital company,
seemed destined to shape the conversa-
tion at least a while longer. On a day
devoted mainly to raising money,
Romney went on
Fox News to com-
plain that all Obama
can do is attack me
on Bain and other
subjects rather than
taking useful steps to
improve the econo-
my.
Sure enough, the
Democratic incum-
bent showed no sign of letting up.
Rallying for support in crucial Ohio,
Obama said Romneys proposal to free
companies from taxes on their foreign
holdings would displace American
workers. The president cited a study he
said concluded that Gov. Romneys
economic plan would in fact create
800,000 jobs. Theres only one problem,
the jobs wouldnt be in America.
Romneys campaign, itself moving to
the attack, contended that Obamas
Energy Department
has steered loans and
grants to several
companies connect-
ed to the presidents
political supporters.
Romney, speaking
to donors in Baton
Rouge, La., said
Obama had a policy
of taking your tax
dollars and putting it in businesses
owned by contributors to his campaign.
And that is smelly at best. It stinks.
Romney aides cited some well-known
cases, such as Solyndra, a California
solar energy company that went bank-
rupt, and some less-publicized cases.
They include Westly Group, a venture
capital rm whose afliated companies
have received federal loans and grants.
Steve Westly, the companys founder,
is a major Obama campaign fundraiser.

WALTONVILLE, Ill. The
nations widest drought in decades is
spreading, with more than half of the
continental United States now in some
stage of drought and most of the rest
enduring abnormally dry conditions.
Only in the 1930s and the 1950s has
a drought covered more land, accord-
ing to federal figures released Monday.
So far, theres little risk of a Dust
Bowl-type catastrophe, but crop losses
could mount if rain doesnt come
soon.
In its monthly drought report, the
National Climatic Data Center in
Asheville, N.C., announced that 55
percent of the country was in a moder-
ate to extreme drought at the end of
June. The parched conditions expand-
ed last month in the West, the Great
Plains and the Midwest, fueled by the
14th warmest and 10th driest June on
record, the report said.
Topsoil has turned dry while crops,
pastures and rangeland have deterio-
rated at a rate rarely seen in the last 18
years, the report said.
The percentage of affected land is
the largest since December 1956,
when 58 percent of the country was
covered by drought, and it rivals even
some years in the Dust Bowl era of the
1930s, though experts point out that
this years weather has been milder
than that period, and farming practices
have been vastly improved since then.
In southern Illinois, Kenny Brummer
has lost 800 acres of corn that he
grows to feed his 400 head of cattle
and 30,000 hogs. Now hes scrambling
to find hundreds of thousands of
bushels of replacement feed.
Where am I going to get that from?
You have concerns about it every
morning when you wake up, said
Brummer, who farms near Waltonville.
The drought is bad, but thats just half
of the problem on this farm.
Around a third of the nations corn
crop has been hurt, with some of it so
badly damaged that farmers have
already cut down their withered plants
to feed to cattle. As of Sunday, the
U.S. Department of Agriculture said,
38 percent of the corn crop was in poor
or very poor condition, compared with
30 percent a week earlier.

Judith Drake Goldsborough Dunlop
The Very Rev. Dr. Judith G. Dunlop died
peacefully at home July 8, 2012 after a long
illness.
From her work as a nurse, educator, hos-
pice director and later as a priest in the
Episcopal church, Judith dedicated her life
to serving people in need of spiritual and
medical care.
She was born Judith Drake Goldsborough,
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Farrar
Goldsborough of New York City. She attend-
ed the Yale New Haven Nursing School
before graduating from Columbia
University with a Bachelor of Science in
nursing education and a Master of Science
in clinical psychology. She taught nursing
education at various institutions in New
York and, after her move to San Francisco in
1968, at the College of Marin and University
of California at San Francisco.
After the birth of her children, she joined
the Center for Attitudinal Healing in Marin
County where she directed programs provid-
ing care to families of children with life lim-
iting illnesses. During the 1970s and 80s,
she became a nationally recognized expert
in pediatric palliative care and oncology
nursing. In 1982, she co-founded the first
pediatric hospice in Northern California.
She graduated from the Church Divinity
School of the Pacific with a masters in
divinity. Following her ordination, she was
appointed dean of the Episcopal School for
Deacons. From the time of her ordination,
she served at several parishes in the Diocese
of California, most notably at All Saints
Church in San Francisco.
Judith returned to the field of pediatric
hospice in 2005, serving as clinical program
director for George Mark Childrens House,
the first freestanding pediatric hospice in the
United States. Her contributions to pediatric
palliative care and the Episcopal Church
were recognized by CDSP in 2010 when she
was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in
Divinity.
She is survived by her former husband,
John R. Dunlop of Belmont as well as her
children, Katharine D. Tomatis and Andrew
F.G. Dunlop; her beloved grandchildren,
Gabriella E. Tomatis and Benjamin M.
Tomatis; two stepdaughters, Anais M.
Schenk and Sara M. Schenk; and her broth-
er Nicholas T. Goldsborough.
A memorial celebration and requiem will
be held at Grace Cathedral, San Francisco at
3 p.m. Thursday, July 19. Contributions in
her memory may be made to Bayview
Mission, the School for Deacons or to
George Mark Childrens House.

ing World War II, then in the Marines when
he was drafted to serve in the Korean War.
He was honorably discharged as a ser-
geant.
He was married for 30 years to Louise
Shoemaker and they lived on Long Island.
She felt called to ministry and moved away
to attend seminary. He felt called to
California and came here with the man he
would later call his soul mate, David

died of AIDs in 1995.
Shoemaker is survived by his three chil-
dren, Eleanor Reger of New Providence,
Penn., Fern Shoemaker of Muskogee,
Okla., and Howard Shoemaker of Utica,
N.Y., and three grandchildren he never
met.
Shoemaker was always involved in his
church and has very fond memories of
Presbyterian youth groups of his child-
hood. He was an active member of the
Congregational Church of Belmont, United
Church of Christ, where he sang in the
choir and served as a deacon and on the
Board of Social Outreach and Church
Council. He also sang in the Silicon Valley

BEIRUT Syrian rebels red grenades at
tanks and troops while regime armor shelled
Damascus neighborhoods on Monday, send-
ing terried families eeing the most sus-
tained and widespread ghting in the capital
since the start of the uprising 16 months ago.
A ring of erce clashes nearly encircled the
heavily guarded capital as rebels seeking to
overthrow President Bashar Assad pushed the
civil war that has been building in Syrias
impoverished provinces closer to the seat of
power.
While the clashes were focused in a string
of neighborhoods in the citys southwest, for
many of its 4 million people the violence
brought scarily close to home the strife that
has deeply scarred other Syrian cities.
In high-end downtown cafes frequented by
the business and government elite tightly
bound to the Assad regime, customers
watched as black smoke billowed on the hori-
zon and the boom of government shells rever-
berated in the distance.
Without a doubt, this is all anyone is talk-
ing about today, a Damascus activist who
gave his name as Noor Bitar said via Skype.
The sounds of war are clear throughout the
city. They are bouncing off the buildings.
Syrias violence has grown increasingly
bloody and chaotic in recent months as the
uprising has morphed from a peaceful protest
movement seeking political change into an
armed insurgency seeking to topple the regime
by force.
Anti-regime activists say more than 17,000
people have been killed, and the government
says it has lost more than 4,000 security of-
cers. It does not provide numbers of civilian
dead.
International diplomacy has failed to stop
the violence, and world powers remain deeply
divided over who is responsible and how to
stop it. The U.S. and many Western nations
have called on Assad to leave power, while
Russia, China and Iran have stood by the
regime.
On Monday, Russian Foreign Minister
Sergey Lavrov accused the West of using
blackmail to secure a U.N. Security Council
resolution that could allow the use of force in
Syria.
Lavrov objected to the text of a Western-
backed resolution that calls for sanctions and
invokes Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter, which
can be enforceable militarily.

Editor,
If the Proposition 8 issue goes to the
U.S. Supreme Court, one can only hope
that the measure will require the
Mormon and Catholic churches, which
have and are funding this issue in an
attempt to further inict their bigoted
and discriminatory ideology on all of
us, will be required to prove the exis-
tence of their God/Gods so that it
wont be a complete waste of taxpayer
money and court time. Although with a

ize that is unlikely.

The mosquito district
Editor,
Your editorial, County should take
over mosquito and vector control, in
the July 13 edition of the Daily Journal,
articulates very, very well the problems
the mosquito district is facing. I concur
with your article, however, it ignores
one important factor.
Twenty people out of the 21 member
board of directors ignored the brewing
storm. Instead they slapped the hand of
the executive director and instructed
him to attend a so called employee
improvement plan. At the same time,
they extended his contract!
In the business world a director has a
moral and legal obligation to discharge
his/her duciary duties. Not even direc-
tors and ofcers liability insurance
cover plain and unadulterated stupidity
or lack of vigilance.
We should ask: Why is the board
interested in preserving the status quo?
Holding the board to certain stan-
dards and even civil liability may
awake them and get their attention. A
directorship is not a plum to brag about
or put on your resume when you decide
to run for ofce.

Fear and distrust
Editor,
Regarding the letter, More FUD for
high-speed rail, by Owen Smith in the
July 11 edition of the Daily Journal,
Smith has attributed FUD (fear, uncer-
tainty and distrust) to the opposition of
high-speed rail. He almost got every-
thing correct. First, allow me to state my
only disagreement with Smith: Plenty of
certainty about this project exist. It will
cost more than we can afford ($68 or
$98 billion) and continuing subsidy will
be needed in the future to support day-
to-day operation. How do we know that?
In Taiwan and China, even with higher
population density, high-speed rail there
loses money. Also, California is more
expensive to operate including higher
labor cost, more onerous regulations and
more potential lawsuits. We may not
know exactly how much it will bleed us,
but we know it will. Which brings me
back to the points I agree with Smith:
Fear, in a state where projected general
fund spending per student in the UC
system will dwindle to zero by 2022
(SIEPR April 2012). It is my fear, as a
father of two kids, that the cost of debt
service and operational maintenance,
will reduce funding for education and
other essential programs. The interest
rate is not going to stay low forever.
Then there is distrust. We were told in
2008 that this would cost $9 billion for
the state with promises that investors
will rush in. The route through Pacheco
Pass, strongly opposed by the environ-
mental groups, was nevertheless pushed
through to benet land speculators. The
LA Times just reported that in 2010 the
CHSRA turned down an offer of help to
identify more protable routes.
Californians have very good reason to
distrust the current posse. Two out of
three, Smith, not bad!

E
verybody eats, so all of us will
be affected by the $500 billion
farm legislation making its way
through Congress.
The Agriculture Reform, Food and
Jobs Act, commonly known as the
Farm Bill, will reverberate through our
region for the next ve years provided
lawmakers meet a Sept. 30 deadline for
nal approval. The version approved
recently by the Senate makes some key
reforms but falls short in other areas.
The House takes up the legislation next.
On the plus side, the Senate bill
would eliminate direct payments to
farmers, cutting about $9.3 billion in
spending over ve years. Instead, the
government would subsidize insurance
programs to cover losses from weather
or market swings.
Farmers long have advocated for
policies that will allow them to make a
living from the marketplace, not from
government programs. This is a step in
that direction.
In the current economy, where com-
modity prices are strong and farm
income is up, the policy shift will be
simple enough to put in place. But farm
prices change like the weather in the
Midwest. Five years from now, we
wont be a bit surprised to hear policy-
makers call for reforms and improve-
ments to this policy to protect family
farms.
The vast majority of the sweeping
agriculture legislation 80 percent
is dedicated to nutrition programs.
About 46 million people now receive
food assistance, or 1 in every 7
Americans. This is up from about 28
million in 2008.
The recession clearly has caused
more people to need help. However, the
food program is rapidly approaching
the point of being unsustainable.
Examples of waste and fraud are
numerous.
Congress owes us a policy we can
stomach.
The federal farm bill
Let the fur fly
Shall we call them pup-handlers?
D
espite some public howling after San Franciscos
misguided attempt at empathy and compassion
toward the homeless and animals, the city is still
wagging its tail in favor
of a plan to place
unwanted pooches into
the hands of panhan-
dlers.
People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals is
now jumping into the
verbal dogfight which
tends to make most folks
turn lockjaw onto the
other position but in
this matter the group
with a fondness for nude
ads and crazy publicity
stunts definitely earns a
treat for rationality.
On paper, the program still reads as dubious albeit well-
intentioned. Panhandlers living in city-funded housing will
agree to give up begging in exchange for weekly stipends
of $50 to $75 as payment for fostering dogs that might
otherwise be euthanized.
The pilot program launched by supervisor-turned-home-
lessness-chief Bevan Dufty has the cute acronym of
WOOF Wonderful Opportunities for Occupants and
Fidos.
Woof, indeed.
In reality, the paper the plan is outlined on might as well
line a kennel.
Granted, not every homeless or panhandling person is
saddled with substance abuse or mental issues. Not every
transient is incapable of caring for himself or herself, let
alone a furry little creature relying on them for food and
shelter. And yes, sometimes having something for which to
get up every morning, for which to avoid the pipe or bot-
tle, for which to strive is just what a down-on-their-luck
person needs for a little boot-strap pulling and 180-degree
turnaround.
But really? Why in an area where dogs outnumber and
are often better treated than children are officials willing
to risk animal well-being and taxpayer dollars?
Life has no guarantees, of course, but it would be nice to
have something more solid than a verbal agreement by
panhandlers that they wont just pocket the money and
leave the animals to fend for themselves. Program advo-
cates point out participants are vetted for abuse and mental
issues, are screened against homelessness and know they
will be dropped for panhandling.
But what happens if that person relapses or reneges on
the promise? Back to the shelter goes the animal. What
happens if they harm the animal? Is the city liable if the
panhandlers ward harms somebody?
These dogs after all are reportedly not the most sedate
bundles of love. These are dogs that might be problematic,
that might need some training and that are labeled other-
wise unadoptable. This is why they are bound for the great
dog park in the sky if they remain at the shelter.
The question then is: Who is going to train the panhan-
dlers to train the animals and who is going to pay for
that? If the program aims to make these animals ready for
a permanent home, the city cant just give the dogs to an
inexperienced person and say good luck. Not everybody
needs to be the Dog Whisperer to be a fantastic caretaker
but dogs with special needs need a special hand and Bob
and Jane right off the street might not come immediately
equipped to do so.
In San Mateo County, the Peninsula Humane Society
and county jail team up for the TAILS program
Transitioning Animals Into Loving Situations in which
challenging pups receive weeks of training and care from
inmates under supervision. The program has been incredi-
bly successful for all involved and perhaps San Francisco
would be better off shelving WOOF and emulating its
neighbor to the south. Or, perhaps the citys funds should
be used to pay those in more stable living environments
who really want to foster animals or subsidize adoptions
fees that, while a bargain in fixing and vaccinating fees,
can be cost-prohibitive.
Kudos to San Francisco for thinking outside the box but
it should keep those efforts to programs that dont neces-
sarily endanger others or animals if they fail.
In this case, it is time to keep a short leash.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Stocks closed lower
for the seventh day out of the last eight on
Monday after the government reported
that U.S. consumers cut their spending
last month.
The news pushed stocks down from the
start of the trading day. Though they
recovered a bit around midday, all three
major indexes closed down. The Dow
Jones industrial average dropped 49.88
points, or 0.4 percent, to 12,727.21.
Before trading opened, the Commerce
Department said retail sales fell 0.5 per-
cent in June from the month before as
Americans spent less on autos, furniture
and appliances.
It was the third straight month of declin-
ing sales, a worrisome trend. The last time
sales slumped for so long was in the fall of
2008, at the worst point of the global
nancial crisis.
"The summer soft patch is here, and it
could be here a while," said Randy
Frederick, a managing director at Charles
Schwab, the stock brokerage rm.
"Consumers are belt-tightening."
Also dampening spirits, the
International Monetary Fund said it now
forecasts the global economy to grow 3.9
percent in 2013, down from an earlier esti-
mate of 4.1 percent.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell
3.14 points, or 0.23 percent, to 1,353.64.
The Nasdaq composite index fell 11.53
points, or 0.4 percent, to 2,896.94.
Companies that rely heavily on con-
sumer spending were among the weakest
on the New York Stock Exchange. Home
Depot fell 64 cents, or 1.2 percent, to
$51.45. Lowe's Cos. lost 92 cents, or 3.4
percent, to $25.80.
Industrial stocks also fell sharply.
General Electric and Caterpillar, a heavy
equipment maker, each fell about 1 per-
cent. GE lost 18 cents to $19.59.
Caterpillar lost 92 cents to $81.15, one of
the biggest losses among the 30 stocks
that make up the Dow average.
Comments from Chinese Premier Wen
Jiabao over the weekend also weighed on
the market. Wen said his country's econo-
my has not yet entered a recovery and
"economic difculties may continue for
some time." Some of the weakness in
China comes from the debt crisis in
Europe, which has crippled spending on
imported goods.
In the Treasury market, the yield on the
benchmark 10-year Treasury fell to 1.45
percent from 1.49 percent late Friday as
investors sought the relative safety of gov-
ernment debt.
In Europe, borrowing rates for Italy and
Spain rose again, the latest signal that
bond investors are leery of the nances of
those countries. Stocks fell 2 percent in
Spain and 0.4 percent in Italy. Benchmark
indexes in Germany and France were at.

Big movers

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON The outlook for
the U.S. economy appeared dimmer
Monday after a report that Americans
spent less at retail businesses for a third
straight month in June.
The report led some economists to
downgrade their estimates for economic
growth in the April-June quarter. Many
now think the economy grew even less
than in the rst quarter of the year, when
it expanded at a sluggish 1.9 percent
annual rate.
Spending in June fell in nearly every
major category from autos, furniture
and appliances to building, garden sup-
plies and department stores. Overall,
retail sales slid 0.5 percent from May to
June, the Commerce Department said.
Retail sales hadnt fallen for three
straight months since the fall of 2008, at
the height of the nancial crisis.
The weak U.S. spending gures were
released on the same day that the
International Monetary Fund slightly
lowered its outlook for global growth
over the next two years.
Stocks fell after the Commerce report
was issued. The Dow Jones industrial
average sank 74 points in early trading.
Broader indexes also declined. Later in
the day, stocks regained some of their
losses.
However hard you look, theres just
no good news in this report, said Paul
Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at
Capital Economics.
Weakening retail spending could
make the Federal Reserve more likely to
act further to try to encourage more bor-
rowing and spending by lowering long-
term interest rates. The Feds policy
committee will meet at the end of this
month.
Most economists dont expect new
Fed action after that meeting. But some
said Mondays Commerce report, com-
ing after three straight months of tepid
hiring, makes some Fed action more
likely by years end.
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke will tes-
tify to Congress about the economy on
Tuesday and Wednesday.
Despite the lackluster spending in
April through June, retail sales were
still 4.7 percent higher in the second
quarter than in the same period in 2011.
And the gures dont include spending
on services, which makes up about two-
thirds of consumer purchases. Services
range from doctors visits and plane
tickets to rent payments and utility bills.
Spending gures for services arent
yet available for June. But consumers
have spent more on services each month
this year.
Still, Ashworth said economic growth
likely slowed to an annual rate of just
1.5 percent in the second quarter. Thats
isnt enough to lower high unemploy-
ment. The U.S. unemployment rate is
8.2 percent.
In Mondays report, Commerce also
said Americans spent less in April than
previously thought. In part because of
that, Michael Feroli, an economist at
JPMorgan Chase, lowered his estimate
of growth in the April-June quarter from
a 1.7 percent annual rate to a 1.4 percent
rate. And he lowered his forecast for the
July-September quarter to a 1.5 percent
growth rate, down from a 2 percent rate.
Chris G. Christopher Jr., senior econ-
omist at IHS Global Insight, thinks the
economy grew at an annual rate of just
1.3 percent last quarter. He doesnt see
much of a pickup in the second half of
2012: The annual growth rate will likely
stay below 2 percent, he said.

SUNNYVALE Yahoo is hiring
longtime Google executive Marissa
Mayer to be its next CEO, the fth in
ve years as the company struggles to
rebound from financial malaise and
internal turmoil.
Mayer, who starts at Yahoo Inc. on
Tuesday, was one of Googles earliest
employees and was most recently
responsible for its mapping, local and
location services. Mayer, 37, began her
career at Google in 1999 after getting
her masters degree in computer science
from Stanford, the school Googles co-
founders attended.
Ross Levinsohn has been running the
company on an interim basis and was
thought to be the leading candidate after
Hulu CEO Jason Kilar dropped out from
c o n s i d e r a t i o n .
Levinsohn filled in
after Scott
Thompson lost his
job two months ago
in a ap over misin-
formation on his of-
cial biography.
Fred Amoroso,
Yahoos chairman,
says the board was
drawn to Mayers unparalleled track
record in technology, design, and prod-
uct execution.
Yahoos website remains among the
most popular destinations on the Internet
with 700 million monthly visitors, but
the company has struggled to turn those
visits into ad revenue growth. Yahoos
decline has been exacerbated by the suc-
cess of Internet search leader Google
Inc. and social networking leader
Facebook Inc.
Levinsohn, 48, who once ran Internet
services at News Corp., made a positive
impression by closing a long-delayed
deal to sell part of its stake in Alibaba
Group, one of Chinas most successful
Internet companies. He also negotiated a
truce with Facebook, averting a legal
ght over patent rights that threatened to
poison Yahoos partnerships with the
social network.
Now, the job of devising a new vision
for Yahoo will fall to Mayer. She will
need to quickly communicate how her
strategy differs from the plans of four
previous CEOs who have unsuccessfully
tried to turn the company around during
the past ve years.

Microsoft revamps Office for tablets, Internet
SAN FRANCISCO New versions of Microsofts word
processing, spreadsheet and email programs will sport
touch-based controls and emphasize Internet storage to
reect an industry-wide shift away from the companys
strengths in desktop and laptop computers.
The new offerings appear designed to help Microsoft
retain an important source of revenue as more people access
documents from mobile devices. The new Ofce suite also
reects the fact that people tend to work from multiple com-
puters perhaps a desktop in the ofce, a laptop at home
and a tablet computer on a train and a smartphone at the
doctors ofce.
Like an upcoming redesign of Microsofts Windows oper-
ating system, the new Ofce will respond to touch as well as
commands delivered on a computer keyboard or mouse.
The addition of touch-based controls will enable Ofce to
extend its franchise into the rapidly growing tablet comput-
er market.
Business brief
T
he big question in Giants Nation
Saturday was: how would Tim
Lincecum pitch? Did the all-star
break allow him to clear his head or would he
remain mired in his rst-half funk?
After one start, the prognosis is good. Im
not going to go all KNBR and declare The
Freak is back!, but for his rst appearance
after the break, he took a couple of steps for-
ward.
During KNBRs pre-
game show Saturday,
the question was asked:
what do you, as a fan,
need to see from
Lincecum in his rst
start after the break?
My answer was two-
fold:
One, the Giants as a
team had to win the
game. While
Lincecums 3-10 rst-
half numbers were bad,
the fact the Giants were
just 4-14 in Lincecum starts was just as dis-
turbing. I can remember only one time when
the lineup picked up Lincecum after a sub-par
outing. The rest of the time, Lincecum gave
up the lead and the Giants never recovered.
Two, Lincecum needed to avoid the big
inning. I didnt need to see him dominate,
although that is what he did against the
Astros Saturday. I just didnt want him to see
him pitch three encouraging innings and then
watch him blowup where he cant nd the
strike zone and hitters are teeing off on him.
Lincecum was poised to pick up bonus
points when he was one out away from pick-
ing up the victory and Santiago Casilla poised
for the save. Casilla got the nal strikeout on
a pitch in the dirt and on the weirdest play
Ive ever heard on the radio, Houston scored
from second on a dropped third strike.
It cost Lincecum the win but the Giants ral-
lied in extra innings to pick up the victory
and improve to 5-14 in games started by
Lincecum.
One good start, however, does not a come-
back make. While there were encouraging
signs, they will be the exception to
Lincecums rule this season if he doesnt fol-
low it with a number of good starts.
Hes taken two steps forward, he needs to
avoid taking a step back.

Pacifica American so close to title they can taste it
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Pacica American 9/10 All-Stars are
one win away from locking up the Section 3
championship. And by the looks of their 21-
run offensive output during the first two
games of the tournament, Pacica intends to
use their bats to accomplish the championship
feat.
The District 52 9/10 champions put up dou-
ble-digit runs against Newark National and
Danville at Lakeshore Park in San Mateo to
begin their Section 3 bid. Against Newark,
Pacica jumped out to a 5-1 lead after two
innings en route to a 10-3 win. They followed
that up with a 11-3 shelling of Danville. In
that contest, they used a six-run rst to pull
away.
Were playing really good, said Pacica
manager Steve Falk. The bats made a state-
ment in the rst innings and then we tacked on
a couple more and our pitching and defense
carried us the rest of the way.
According to Falk, the team is going to the
plate oozing with condence.
Its really big, Falk said of his teams
offensive swagger. In the district tournament,
the rst couple of games, we were scoring a
lot of runs. And in the last two games, the bats
kind of cooled off. But, we started off this
thing, we had a big crowd out there and the
kids were red up they just came out swing-
ing. Everyone wanted to hit. Its kind of easy
as a manager when all the kids are excited and
want to go hit.
The future looks extremely promising for
Pacica as they sit back and await the winner
of the losers bracket contest between a couple
of teams theyve already beaten easily in
Danville and Newark.
I think the key for us is that all our pitch-
ing is pretty much intact, falk said. So, as a
coaching staff, we feel pretty good about hav-
ing all our pitchers ready and having the other
two teams play [on Monday]. Hopefully they
burn up a little pitching and we come out there
fresh and continue where we left off. Id like
to close out as soon as possible. I got two real-
ly good [pitchers] who have been carrying us
through the district tournament. So, closing it
out as soon as possible would be preference
and that will save more pitching for Regionals
if we happen to win.

With a bat (top) and on the mound, Foster Citys Chris Fung led his team to a 15-7 win over San Leandro to keep their Section 3 hopes alive.
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
One game can make all the difference in the
world.
Take the Foster City Majors All-Star team
for example. Last Saturday in Game 1 of their
Section 3 tournament bid, San Leandros Matt
Gonzalez shut them down and sent them to
the losers bracket.
But on Tuesday, against the same Gonzalez,
there would be no shutting down. Actually, it
was the Foster City bats that lit up San
Leandro to the tune of 15 runs, keeping their
Section 3 tournament alive with a 15-7 win.
The victory propels Foster City to the
Section 3 championship round where theyll
take on District 57 powerhouse San Ramon
and will have to beat them twice to become
the second District 52 to capture a section
title.
Our bats were the difference, said Foster
City manager Steve Sutter. We didnt hit last
time and today we hit. And I dont know what
happened last time because thats their best
pitcher. Its just one of those things you just
dont know whats going to happen. The
Giants score zero runs for Matt Cain and 16
for Bumgarner and thats what we did today.
The entire game felt like a bit of an anom-
aly. Both starting pitchers combined for only
four outs on just 67 pitches leaving Foster
City and San Leandro to rely on their bullpens
for almost the entirety of the game.
San Leandro reached for Gonzalez, their
ace, while Sutter handed the ball to Chris
Fung after Dominic Monozon, the winning
pitcher is the clinching game of the District 52
tournament, struggled despite a 2-0 lead after
half a frame of baseball.
I think the kids really came out feeling like
this is it, were going to throw everything we
have out there at them, Sutter said. That was
the starting pitcher that shut down
Hillsborough and he just didnt have it today.
Chris hasnt thrown a single inning this post-
season, not one inning and today we asked
him to go out there and throw as many pitch-
es as he can. That kid threw his guts out.
Fung pitched with the poise of a veteran and

The San Jose Earthquakes appear
to be the real deal. Not only are
they atop of the Western Division
table, they beat up second-place
Real Salt Lake Saturday night, 5-0.
The Earthquakes are doing it in
fan-pleasing fashion. Many critics
of soccer cite the relative lack of
goals scored, but in compiling a
12-4-4 record, San Jose leads the
league with 41 goals scored. The
Earthquakes have three of the best
scorers in the league. Everyone has
heard of Chris Wondolowski by
now and hes having the best sea-
son of an already brilliant career in
San Jose, having found the back of
the net 17 times following a hat
trick against Salt Lake tops in
MLS.
While there may be sexier names
on the MLS leaderboard, what the
Quakes lack in sexiness is being
made up for with production. Alan
Gordon and Steven Lenhart, com-
bined, are the perfect No. 2 man to
Wondolowski. Lenhart, who
missed a bulk of the 2011 season
with family issues, started 2012 re-
invigorated and in the starting line-
up, wreaking havoc and scoring six
times.
Once Lenhart gives all he can,
Gordon comes on in relief and sup-
plies a late burst of offense. It
seems as if half his goals have
come in the nal 10 minutes of
games. Hes done it from the start-
ing lineup as well, as Lenhart has
been in and out of the lineup the
last several weeks for various rea-
sons. Combined, Lenhart and
Gordon have tallied 13 goals
which would be good for second-
best in the league.
Making all this possible the
work in the midfield and an
attack-minded defense that is not
afraid to push upfield to support
an offensive foray.
Midelder Marvin Chavez leads
the team with eight assists, which
is tied for second in MLS, but the
Quakes have four guys with four or
more assists and have combined for
23 of the teams 44 assists.
I know Bay Area fans like win-
ning teams and the Quakes repre-
sent the Bays next-best chance to
win a championship.

Sports brief
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Atlanta Braves received a
solid pitching performance from an
unexpected source in their most
recent contest to help extend their
winning streak to a season-best
seven games.
Jair Jurrjens personal hot stretch
also has been impressive given his
earlier struggles.
The right-hander looks to remain
unbeaten since being recalled from
the minors when surging Atlanta
hosts former Brave Melky Cabrera
and the NL West-leading San
Francisco Giants in the opener of a
three-game set Tuesday night.
The Braves (49-39) completed a
three-game sweep of the Mets with
a 6-1 victory Sunday behind six
scoreless innings from Ben Sheets,
who hadnt pitched in the majors
since July 2010.
Freddie Freeman hit a three-run
homer and is hitting .462 during his
seven-game hitting streak, while
Chipper Jones went 2 for 4.
We are ecstatic, Jones told the
teams official website. For
(Sheets) to come in and build on our
winning streak, seven-game win-
ning streaks dont come along very
often. We (have to) keep the ball
rolling.
They seemingly have a good
chance of doing so with Jurrjens on
the mound.
Jurrjens (3-2, 4.97 ERA) has
looked rejuvenated since being
demoted to Triple-A Gwinnett in
late April after going 0-2 with a 9.37
ERA in his rst four outings. He
allowed three runs in seven innings
of a 4-3 win over Philadelphia on
July 8, improving to 3-0 with a 2.13
ERA in four starts since being
recalled June 22.
(The demotion) was about going
down there and having me correct
and get back to my delivery and get
my strength back again, the 2011
All-Star said. Ive been working
hard with (the coaches) every day
and you can see the hard work pay-
ing off.
Jurrjens is 2-3 with a 3.58 ERA in
ve career starts versus the Giants
after allowing five runs in six
innings of a 7-5 loss Aug. 17 - the
only defeat Atlanta has suffered in
the series last nine contests.
San Francisco (49-40) has surged
ahead of the Dodgers in the West
after completing a three-game
sweep of Houston with a 3-2 victo-
ry Sunday. Buster Posey went 3 for
4 and drove in two runs to help off-
set the absence of Cabrera, who left
the team for the birth of his child.
I think weve got enough depth
in the lineup where we can get the
job done, Posey said. Obviously
any time Melkys not in there were
going to miss him, though.
Cabrera is expected to be back in
the lineup Tuesday - one week after
being named All-Star game MVP in
Kansas City, where he played in
2011 before being dealt to the
Giants.

calmed the ship after Gonzalezs bomb of a
home run in the rst made it 3-2 and San
Leandro took a 4-2 lead into the second.
Fung was able to settle down mostly
because his offense caught some serious re
in the top of the second.
We talked about it when we got up on them
2-0, thats not going to be enough, we need
more, Sutter said. And when they got up 4-
2, we said we need to score runs every inning
and worry about the pitching and defense later
and thats what they did. No. 24 blew us away
the last time we faced him and I dont know
what the difference was today other than
theyve seen him once before. His fastball we
had seen it. And boy, they came out swinging
today.
Did they ever. With one out, Parker
ORegan singled and Fung drew a walk.
Tommy Ghiroso quickly followed with an
RBI single to make it 3-2. Kevin Jacobs dupli-
cated the feat to tie the score and JJ Otta
would not be denied a slice of the pie when he
singled as well. After a strikeout made it two
down, it was Ethan Wolfs blast to short that
made a defensive play impossible, ricocheting
off the shortstop and into left eld bringing in
a pair of runs. Ryan Garden added a base
knock and before it was all said and done,
Foster City had a ve-spot and a 7-4 lead.
I just thought because we played them
[before] in tournament, I had to make sure I
focused, Fung said of his pitching. My fast-
ball was working, my cutter ... and my
change-up was pretty good.
Fungs lone hiccup came early on and right
out of the chute when Brian Salano muscled
up and hit a home run off the Hillsborough
scoreboard to make it 7-5. But from there,
Fung relaxed and all but cruised until he tired
out after 60-plus pitches in the sixth. To their
credit, the Foster City defense, led by Ghiroso
and ORegan up the middle of the ineld,
helped Fung out of any jam he was in.
Foster City kept hitting as well. After San
Leandro put up a run in the second, the black
and teal got four straight hits to start their half
of the inning. Fung tripled, Ghiroso singled,
Jacobs doubled and Otta singled to make it
10-5 in their favor.
Foster City wasnt done. In the fourth,
Andrew Polk took one for the team to begin a
three-run rally capped by a towering bomb
over the center-eld fence courtesy of Jacobs.
Runs 14 and 15 came in the fth and sixth
respectively with Fung and Garden picking up
the RBIs.
Fung did hit a bit of a wall in the sixth, sur-
rendering a pair of home runs, but of his 67
pitches, 64 of them did the job Foster City set
him out to do. Wolf came in to get the nal
out, striking out Gonzalez on a breaking ball
that was pure genius.
Foster City will take on San Ramon tonight
at 5:30 p.m. A win means they get a winner-
take-all contest on Wednesday against the
same team.
Normally for us its pitching and defense,
Sutter said when asked what its going to take
to beat San Ramon. But were going to hit
like this as well. Were going to have to put
some runs up because no one shuts down San
Ramon. So were going to go out there, do our
best, minimize the damage and get some runs.
Hopefully our bats come out like this. If our
bats come out like this were going to be
tough.

Foster Citys Kevin Jacobs delivers a key hit in
his teams 15-7 win over San Leandro.
seven [innings], said Bel-Mateo manager
Chris Hammond. And that started in the top
of the rst inning. And every single ball play-
er grinded out their at-bat and everyone was
hopping on that merry-go-round.
Fueled by an eight-run outburst in the top of
the rst inning, Bel-Mateos 15-U Babe Ruth
All-Stars coasted to a 19-8 win over host
Ukiah Sunday night at the Northern California
Babe Ruth Championship tournament.
It was hot in Ukiah, but our bats were a lit-
tle bit hotter, Hammond said. My scorecard
is a little messy, but I can tell you our guys
were focused at the plate and all our ballplay-
ers contributed.
Spencer Larsen started the scoring with a
two-run RBI single to center in the rst to
plate Mitchell Wright and Isaiah Todd-
Fitzhugh.
Zack Pace added the exclamation point with
a two-run single to left to knock in two more
along the way to an eight-run Bel-Mateo top
of the rst inning.
Ukiah tried to answer in the bottom of the
rst with two outs, after a walk and an error,
but Bel-Mateos defense turned the rally back
with a sparkling diving catch in centereld by
Todd-Fitzhugh that twarthed that idea.
After a pinch-hit RBIsingle by Antonio
Arellano in the top of the third innning, Bel-
Mateo was up 10-0. Bel-Mateo scored in
every inning except the fourth backed by 12
hits in a game shortened by Babe Ruths tour-
nament competition rule.
Todd-Fitzhugh had four hits on the night to
lead the offensive surge, with Larsen collect-
ing three hits and four RBIs including back-
to-back RBI doubles paired with catcher
Angelo Bortolin in the fth inning to highlight
Bel-Mateos big scoring night.
Morgan Monashefsky started for Bel-
Mateo, tossing three-plus innings in the win.
Zane Gelphman entered in the fourth inning
with the bases loaded and limited the damage
by Ukiah in allowing just two runs in three
innings of relief while racking-up seven
strikeouts.
It was just another day at the yard for those
two, Hammond said. Zane came through for
us in a big way and Morgan gave us a chance
to win in a tough environment with more than
a few fans behind their hometown club,
Hammond said. Our club was focused on the
game and didnt get distracted at what was
going on outside the lines. Bel-Mateo came to
play in the Northern California Babe Ruth
Championships and were planning to be in
Ukiah for awhile now. The guys are itching to
play. Theyve been putting a lot of work in.
These guys are playing at a real high level
right now.

LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England
Ernie Els walked toward the century-old
clubhouse that sits squarely behind the
18th green at Royal Lytham & St.
Annes. Just the sight of it Monday
evening was enough to bring back a
memory. It wasnt a particularly good
one.
Els made a furious charge on Sunday
in 1996, his rst time in serious con-
tention at the British Open. He chipped
away at an eight-shot decit to Tom
Lehman until he was slowed by a bogey
on the 16th and another on the 18th for a
67. That left him two shots behind, hav-
ing to wait around to see if Lehman
would somehow make a double bogey
on the 16th hole.
I was sitting in that damn locker
room there, Els said, smiling as he
pointed toward a darkened glass window
in the clubhouse.
He wasnt alone.
Next to him that day was a 20-year-old
amateur, Tiger Woods, who had a 66 in
the second round and was low amateur
for the week at Lytham. Woods was ask-
ing Els for advice on whether he was
ready to turn pro.
He was trying to gure out his future,
and I was trying to gure out if the guy
was going to make double bogey or not,
Els said. Tom made par and Tiger
turned pro. I was (doomed) either way.
Els broke into easy laughter. He even-
tually captured the claret jug six years
later at Muireld. As for the kid at his
table? Woods turned pro, and now has
three claret jugs among his 14 majors.
Els has been a runner-up to Woods seven
times, the most of any
player.
They are at differ-
ent places in their
careers coming into
the 141st British
Open, which returns
to Lytham for the
11th time when it
starts Thursday.
Woods has won
three times this year on the PGA Tour,
again is the betting favorite whenever he
plays and needs only another major
championship to shut up the skeptics
who wonder whether he will ever return
to being a force in golf. Els last won a
tournament at Bay Hill two years ago,
though he has given himself a chance in
four tournaments this year, including the
U.S. Open last month at Olympic.
The state of their game might be
dened by this British Open.
Royal Lytham & St. Annes is identi-
ed mainly by its size and its views, or
lack thereof in both cases. It is situated
on the smallest piece of property of any
links course in the Open rotation, and it
is the only course that does not offer a
glimpse of the water the Irish Sea in
this case. A railway runs along the right
side of the outward nine, with homes
surrounding the rest of the property. And
then there are the bunkers now under
debate whether there are 206 or 205 of
them. Masters champion Bubba Watson
counted 17 bunkers on the closing hole.
But perhaps the most compelling char-
acteristic of the course is the list of Open
champions it has produced.
Bobby Jones in 1926, the year he
became the rst player to win the British
Open and U.S. Open in the same season.
Bobby Locke and Peter Thomson, who
combined for eight Open titles in 10
years. Tony Jacklin, the last Englishman
to win an Open on English soil. Lehman,
nine months before his brief stay at No.
1 in the world. David Duval, two years
after he dethroned Woods atop the world
ranking.
Els recently told Scotland on Sunday
that advances in equipment have had a
huge effect on the ability of anyone to
separate himself from the rest. But in
links golf, hes not sure thats the case.
Royal Lytham & St. Annes, at only
7,060 yards as a par 70, is not a course
that can be overpowered, even in green
conditions.
Links golf is at its best when the grass
is brown from sunshine and dry spells,
such as Royal Liverpool in 2006 when
Woods only hit driver once. This year,
when the rain never seems to stop in
England, the course is softer and not
quite running as fast.
Regardless, its about keeping the ball
on grass instead of in the bunkers. And
its about keeping it out of the rough,
which Watson described as hay, and he
wasnt joking. With rain comes high
grass, and its so lush that Woods told
reporters on Sunday that some spots
were unplayable.
That much is certain. Aaron Townsend
hit a shot into the rough to the right of
the 15th green on Sunday, and it took a
marshal standing only a few yards away
nearly ve minutes to nd it.
Watson went around Monday morning
before the heavy rain arrived, and he
rarely showed off his pink driver. Even
on the 592-yard seventh hole, he hit iron
off the tee when a big drive would allow
him to get home in two shots.
A fair test awaits at Lytham
Tiger Woods
3. HOGAN ATCARNOUSTIE
In his only trip to the British Open in
1953, Ben Hogan became the rst
player to win three professional
majors in one season, and he joined
Gene Sarazen as the only players to
win the career Grand Slam.
Not many Americans came to the
British Open at that time because of
the time it took to travel,and because
the winner received only 500 pounds,
not enough to cover expenses.
Hogan would have seemed the most
unlikely because of his badly
damaged legs from his 1949 auto
accident. He had to qualify for the
Open,as did everyone in that era,and
his appearance in Scotland drew
enormous attention.
Hogan didnt disappoint.He opened
with a 73 to trail amateur Frank
Stranahan by three shots, and then
added a 71 to get within two shots
of the lead. In the morning third
round,he took the lead with a 70,and
then closed with a tournament-best
68 for a four-shot win over Antonio
Cerda, Dai Rees, Peter Thomson and
Stranahan. Hogan couldnt play the
PGA Championship that year, and
thus win all four major titles,because
it was held in Michigan the same
week as British Open qualifying.
For the Wee Ice Mon, as the Scots
called Hogan, this turned out be his
ninth and nal major.
2. TIGER MAKES HISTORY
ATTHE HOME OF GOLF
Fresh off his 15-shot victory in the
2000 U.S.Open at Pebble Beach,Tiger
Woods came to the home of golf for
a chance at age 24 to become the
youngest winner of the career Grand
Slam.Seizing on the historic moment,
as he often did, Woods had such
control of his game that he didnt hit
into a single bunker on the Old
Course the entire week. He took
control with a 66 in the second round,
and after making his rst bogey in 64
holes at a major on the second hole
of the third round, Woods still had a
67 and stretched his lead to six shots.
David Duval challenged him briey
in the nal round, but he fell apart in
the Road Hole bunker.Woods closed
with a 69 to break Nick Faldos record
to par in the British Open with a 19-
under 269. He won by eight shots
over Ernie Els and Thomas Bjorn and
became only the fth player to win
all four majors.
1. THE DUEL IN THE SUN
The Duel in the Sunin 1977 featured
the best two champions of their era,
Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson, in a
battle that stretched over four days
at Turnberry.
Amazingly,they had the same scores
for three rounds 68-70-65 and
left everyone else far behind. They
remained tied after 16 holes of the
nal round until the championship
turned on the par-5 17th. Nicklaus
chipped to 5 feet, but missed the
short birdie putt.Watson reached the
green with his second shot and two-
putted for birdie.On the closing hole,
Nicklaus was in the right rough and
did well to get the ball on the green,
although it was 40 feet away.Watson
hit 7-iron that settled about 2 feet
from the cup and seemingly clinched
the win. But not so. Nicklaus rolled in
his long birdie putt, forcing Watson
to make his.Watson calmly rapped it
in for 65 and a one-shot win over his
rival.
Such was their duel that Nicklaus,the
runner-up, was 10 shots ahead of
third place.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PAU, France Bradley Wiggins
knows hes well-positioned to win the
Tour de France. But with the banged-up,
frenetic and weary pack nearing the nal
rest day of the three-week race, he wasnt
taking any chances Monday.
A hasty, nervous start to Stage 15 in the
Pyreness foothills ultimately gave way to
a stage victory by Pierrick Fedrigo. The
Frenchman led a six-man breakaway as
Wiggins played it safe almost 12 min-
utes behind in the pack.
The 99-mile route from Samatan to Pau
was a mostly at layout that might favor a
sprint nish, but teams with strong sprint-
ers didnt lay chase.
Fedrigo bolted from the breakaway
group with about four miles left, with
Christian Vande Velde of the U.S. the only
rider able to keep pace. The American, not
a sprint expert, lost the two-man dash.
Sprinters and breakaway specialists saw
this course as one of their last chances to
win a stage, knowing mountains and a
time trial dominate the last ve race days.
I thought the attacks at the start would-
nt last so long. It went on for almost two
hours, but the terrain took its toll,
Wiggins said, referring to the deceptively
hilly route. There are a lot of tired bodies
out there.
From the outset, Wiggins was cautious.
He noticed a little problem with his
bike, got off and chucked it onto the road-
side as his Team Sky staff quickly fetched
another.
I changed it right away because I pre-
ferred doing that than taking a risk if the
race went all out after that, Wiggins said.
Overall, Wiggins leads second-place
teammate Christopher Froome by 2:05.
Vincenzo Nibali of Italy is third, 2:23
behind, while defending champion Cadel
Evans remains fourth, 3:19 back.
There are some gaps, but its never n-
ished. We are in a good position, thats for
sure, pointing to Saturdays time trial,
one of his specialties. He won the rst one
over 26 miles in Stage 9. The upcoming
time trial in Stage 19 is 33 miles.
Weve already seen it. Its not easy, he
said. The last time trial at the Tour is not
the same as the one in the rst week.
Wiggins has not thought much about
the punishing days that await in the
Pyrenees on Wednesday and Thursday.
The ride on Thursday features six climbs,
including an uphill nish.
I just always look one day at a time,
he said. I always think if you start look-
ing too far ahead you forget whats in
front of you.
Garmin-Sharp team manager Jonathan
Vaughters, who once had Wiggins on his
team, said hes been predicting a victory
by the Briton for months in part
because this years layout suits his
strengths.
Weary Tour riders get last rest
Ravens Rice and
Bears Forte get
long-term deals
The Barry Wilner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ray Rice and Matt Forte got what they wanted Monday:
long-term contracts that sometimes elude NFL running backs.
Neither Rice nor Forte was enamored of
playing under the franchise tag tender in
2012, and negotiations went down to the
wire. Then Rice scored big with the
Baltimore Ravens, getting $40 million for
ve years, while Forte took a four-year, $32
million deal with the Chicago Bears.
Also getting a longer contract just before
the deadline was Jacksonville placekicker
Josh Scobee, who will stay with the
Jaguars for four years and $13.8 million.
Rice led the NFL with 2,068 yards from
scrimmage in making his second Pro Bowl.
He helped the Ravens to their second AFC
title game in his four pro seasons.
Ray has been an integral part of us earn-
ing the playoffs in each of his four sea-
sons, Ravens general manager Ozzie
Newsome said. His production on the
eld speaks for itself, and his leadership in
the locker room is outstanding.
Although his numbers arent quite at
Rices level, Forte is just as signicant a contributor in
Chicagos offense. Had he stayed healthy in 2011, he might
have matched Rice, too.
Forte made the Pro Bowl for the rst time, nishing with
1,487 yards from scrimmage, 997 rushing. He missed the nal
four games after spraining his right knee in a loss to Kansas
City. The Bears lost all but one of those games, falling out of
playoff contention.
Each of them would have played for the $7.74 million fran-
chise tag the average of the ve highest-paid players at run-
ning back had they not gotten the new contracts.
Im proud to be a Chicago Bear and excited to be here for
another four years, Forte said in a statement released by the
Bears. Ive been working hard this offseason and am looking
forward to joining my teammates at training camp next week.
Im glad the business part is done and we can all turn our atten-
tion to football and our goal of winning a championship.

but was not practicing with the rest of
her team, the Damas de los Muertos,
because of a broken leg thanks to the
sport she loves.
I never had a lot of female friends, I
was more of a tomboy growing up and
always hung out with the guys. This is a
place we can come together and dont
have to be all girly-girl. You can take out
your aggressions here. It is something
women dont do enough of, Kennon-
Frink said.
She found the Peninsula Roller Girls
by tooling around on the Internet.
The Peninsula Roller Girls currently
field two teams, the Damas and
Psychopathogens, and are about ready to
eld a third team.
About 80 people are associated with
the group, 60 of them women. The two
teams have 17 players and each one
could not join until going through a boot
camp to learn the sport, said Kelly
Knight, who handles public relations for
the group.
They even held a draft for the two
squads at an International House of
Pancakes.
While the athletes may have alter egos
on the rink and wear the occasional face
paint, they come from diverse back-
grounds.
Stephanie Vance, 41, is a middle
school teacher in Redwood City who
took up the sport in the last two years.
Her alter ego is Moose-a-Rita and
emblazoned on her buttocks is the
phrase Moose Caboose on her cos-
tume.
She stands tall in her skates and is
mostly a blocker, assisting the teams
jammer to score and trying to block the
opposing teams jammer from scoring.
You play defense and offense at the
same time in roller derby and the nal
scores can read 150-90. A jammer is the
teams designated scoring player who
scores by lapping players on the oppos-
ing team.
Vance teaches physical education to
eighth grade girls and lets them know
that it is a good thing to be t and active.
Vance even works out twice a week
with a personal trainer to keep her t in
skates.
As a teacher, this is a great stress
reliever, Vance said. I sleep good on
derby nights.
Vance even traveled to Brazil and
practiced with a team there called the
Brazil Derby Girls. She contacted them
online before her trip and encountered a
bit of a language barrier explaining why
she was there but once in her skates and
on the rink, not speaking Portuguese was
no problem.
Roller derby, she said, has given her
loads of confidence and is bonding
women worldwide.

could mean a whole new approach to
HIV prevention that is a bit more realis-
tic, said Dr. Demetre Daskalakis of
New York Universitys Langone Medical
Center, who served on the FDA panel
that recommended approving Truvada.
While a positive step forward,
Daskalakis added that Truvada would
likely be unavailable for many people
without health insurance, who often face
the greatest risk of acquiring HIV.
Researchers had long sought to create
a pill that could help stem the epidemic.
Public health advocates said Monday
that Truvada represents a major break-
through, both as a medical therapy and
as a means of expanding other preven-
tive measures. Patients who get a pre-
scription for Truvada will be expected to
take part in a comprehensive HIV pre-
vention plan, which experts say will
enhance the drugs impact.
It really marks a new era in HIV pre-
vention because in adding Truvada as a
prevention strategy, what comes with it
is expanded access to HIV testing, con-
doms and preventive counseling and
support, said James Loduca, vice presi-
dent of the San Francisco AIDS
Foundation.
But HIV experts have raised concerns
that patients might not use the drug cor-
rectly. Dr. Tom Giordano of Baylor
College of Medicine said Monday the
drug must be taken every day to be
effective, and would be most effective
for a relatively small group of people.
Its been most effective in people
who are at very high risk and are able to
take the drug on a regular basis, said
Giordano, who served on the FDA panel
that recommended approving the drug.
When you really boil it down thats
going to be a relatively focused popula-
tion, but its an important population to
treat.
The drugs label carries a warning that
people should be tested to make sure they
dont have HIV before starting Truvada.
Patients who already have the virus could
develop resistance to the drug, making
their disease more difcult to treat. The
label also warns of side effects, including
kidney and liver problems.
Gilead Sciences Inc. has marketed
Truvada since 2004 as a treatment for
people who are already infected with the
virus. The once-a-day pill is a combina-
tion of two older HIV drugs, Emtriva
and Viread.
Starting in 2010, studies showed that
the drug could prevent people from con-
tracting HIV when used as a precaution-
ary measure. A three-year study found
that daily doses cut the risk of infection
in healthy gay and bisexual men by 42
percent, when accompanied by condoms
and counseling. Last year, another study
found that Truvada reduced infection by
75 percent in heterosexual couples in
which one partner was infected with
HIV and the other was not.
Because Truvada is on the market to
manage HIV, some doctors already pre-
scribe it as a preventive measure. FDA
approval will allow Gilead Sciences to
formally market the drug for that use,
which could dramatically increase pre-
scriptions.
Truvadas groundbreaking preventive
ability has exposed disagreements about
managing the disease among those in the
HIV community. Groups including the
AIDS Healthcare Foundation asked the
FDA to reject the new indication, saying
it could give patients a false sense of
security and reduce the use of condoms,
the most reliable preventive measure
against HIV.
But FDA scientists said Monday said
there was no indication from clinical tri-
als that Truvada users were more likely
to engage in risky sexual behavior.
What we found was that condom use
increased over time and sexually trans-
mitted infections either remained at
baseline levels or decreased, said Dr.
Debra Birnkrant, FDAs director of
antiviral products. So in essence, we
dont have any strong evidence that con-
doms were not used or there was a
decrease in condom use.

Mideast peace slips to second billing for U.S.
JERUSALEM Mideast peace, Americas dening issue
for decades of dealings with Israel and its Arab neighbors, was
just a postscript Monday as Hillary
Rodham Clinton made perhaps her nal
visit to the region as secretary of state.
Three years after President Barack
Obama declared the plight of the
Palestinians intolerable, his administra-
tion no longer sees the failing Arab-Israeli
peace efforts with the same immediacy.
U.S. interests are focused now on Iran and
Syria, though the deep differences between
Israel and the Palestinians are not ignored.
Peace among Israel, the Palestinian people and all of
Israels Arab neighbors is crucial for Israels long-term
progress and prosperity, Clinton said following discussions
with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the coun-
trys president, foreign minister and defense minister.
Clinton also met Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad,
but she couldnt report any progress toward an accord that
might secure an independent Palestine and an Israel at peace
with its neighbors.
In a departure from the usual pattern for top U.S. diplomats,
she did not travel to the Palestinian Authoritys West Bank seat
of government in Ramallah.
Reshuffle of North Koreas
military gains momentum
SEOUL, South Korea North Korea is reshufing its most
powerful institution, the military, dismissing its army chief
a key mentor to young ruler Kim Jong Un
and promoting a little-known general to
an important position in the million-man
force.
Illness was the reason cited for army
chief Ri Yong Hos departure, but to some
outside analysts it resembled a purge by
Kim as he tries to shape the government he
inherited seven months ago. The announce-
ment Tuesday of Hyon Yong Chols pro-
motion could further that goal; his is the
fourth vice marshal appointment North Korea has made public
since the death of Kims father, Kim Jong Il.
The changes have signicant but as yet unclear implications
for North Koreas relationship with its neighbors and the
United States, which stations more than 28,000 troops in ally
South Korea.

WASHINGTON Turns out its possible
to make a fast-food lunch a bit healthier even
without skipping the fries.
New York City now has hard evidence that
its ban on trans fat in restaurant
food made a meaningful dent
in peoples consumption of
the artery clogger and was-
nt just replaced with
another bad fat.
The ndings being pub-
lished Tuesday have implica-
tions beyond heart health, sug-
gesting another strategy to curb
the nations obesity epidemic
fueled by a high-calorie, super-sized
environment.
Consider: Americans get more
than a third of their daily calories
from foods prepared out-
side the home. By
years end, the Food
and Drug
Administration hopes
to nalize long-await-
ed rules that would
make many restaurant chains
post the calorie counts of their
products right on the menu.
Maybe the guilt would make you
forego the french fries for a salad. Maybe not.
Now contrast New Yorks trans-fat ban
later copied by more than a dozen other state
and local governments - which didnt put all
the onus on the consumer to do the right
thing.
By making the default option the
healthier choice, everyone benefits
regardless of their nutrition awareness or
willpower, Alice Lichtenstein, a nutrition
specialist at Tufts University, wrote in a
commentary on the research. The regula-
tion may serve as a model for future suc-
cessful public health initiatives.
There are good fats and bad fats. Trans fat
is widely considered the worst kind for your
heart, gram-for-gram more harmful than its
better known cousin, saturated fat. Small
amounts occur naturally in some meat and
dairy products. But much of the trans fat we
eat is articially produced, by hardening liq-
uid oils so they can be used for baking
or a longer shelf life.
In 2006, the federal government
began requiring that packaged
foods list the amount of trans fat
contained per serving, a boon for
grocery shoppers
who could
f i n a l l y
t e l l
w h i c h
p r o c e s s e d
foods were
more or less
heart-healthy.
But restaurant
fare remained a mys-
tery. So New York City issued
a first-of-its-kind rule restricting artificial
trans fat in restaurants, forcing them to alter
recipes so that foods contained no more than
0.5 grams per serving. The change affected
customers beyond New York as big chains
like McDonalds wound up cutting the fat sys-
tem-wide.
The latest study by the New York City
Department of Health and Mental Hygiene
shows the effect. Researchers surveyed cus-
tomers and collected receipts for nearly
15,000 lunchtime purchases at fast-food
chains around the city in 2007
and 2009, before and
after the ban was in
place.
The amount of
trans fat in each
lunch sold dropped
an average of 2.4
grams after
t h e
b a n ,
researchers report in
Tuesdays edition of
Annals of Internal Medicine.
The biggest drop, 3.8 grams,
occurred in hamburger chains, fol-
lowed by Mexican food and fried chicken
chains.
No ones saying that turned junk food into
health food. But for people who eat fast food
regularly, its a signicant reduction in heart
risk, said Margo Wootan, director of nutrition
policy at the advocacy group Center for
Science in the Public Interest.
The American Heart Association has long
recommended that people limit trans fat to
less than 2 grams a day. The newest govern-
ment dietary guidelines urge people to eat as
little trans fat as possible.
Moreover, the study also suggests that
restaurants didnt just swap out one bad ingre-
dient for another as some nutritionists had
feared. It found only a small increase in satu-
rated fat, mostly in sandwich chains. Thats at
least partly due to those customers buying
meals with a lot more calories in 2009 than
before, said study co-author Christine Curtis.
That time period saw Subways
introduction of $5 foot-long
subs.
Overall, Americans
trans fat consumption has
dropped by more than
half over the last decade,
thanks to the combina-
tion of nationwide food-
labeling and community
restaurant restrictions,
according to an update
published in the Journal
of the American Medical
Association this
month.
Still, 10 percent of
children and adults
consume more than 2.6 grams
of industrially produced trans fats a
day - not counting the natural type, said
that review by researchers at the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention. Those people
tend to consume certain brands of frozen
pizza, frozen desserts, microwave popcorn
and chips that still pack in the trans fat.
The trans-fat evolution shows that no one
policy is going to be the cure-all for nutrition

ills, said CSPIs Wootan.
She points to the upcoming menu calorie counts. New York
City already requires calories to be posted on menus, and a
study found only 15 percent of diners ordered healthier foods.
But those who did cut 100 calories per meal, which adds up
fast, Wootan noted.
And peer pressure should make restaurants revamp recipes
to cut calories, just like posting trans fat on grocery food labels
pushed manufacturers to improve those offerings, she added.
Stay tuned on the calorie front: The FDAs menu-labeling
rules were expected months ago. Theres been a lobbying ght
over whether they should include how many calories are in
alcoholic drinks or in foods sold in places like movie theaters,
where a tub of popcorn can total half your days allotment.
But Wootan would like to see additional options that make
the lower-calorie choice the default. Why shouldnt the fast-
food meal-deal come with fruit, so you have to order the fries
separately if you really want them?
Right now the automatic choice, the easy choice, is the
unhealthy option. If it were turned around, many more people
would eat healthfully, she said

TRANS FAT
By Lauran Neergaard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Theres
more advice on the contentious
issue of prostate cancer screening:
A leading group of cancer special-
ists says the decision hinges in
part on a mans life expectancy.
Doctors should discuss the pos-
sible pros and cons of those PSA
blood tests with men expected to
live longer than another 10 years,
the American Society of Clinical
Oncology recommended Monday.
Thats a contrast from guide-
lines issued this spring by the U.S.
Preventive Services Task Force,
which recommended against rou-
tine PSA screening for all men.
That government advisory panel
found little if any evidence that
PSA testing saves lives and
said too many men suffer impo-
tence, incontinence, heart attacks,
occasionally even death from
treatment of tiny tumors that never
would have killed them.
In its own review, the oncolo-
gists group ASCO concluded that
doctors should discourage PSAs
for men with less than 10-year life
expectancy, for those very rea-
sons.
But it didnt find the evidence as
clear-cut for younger or healthier
men and released a step-by-
step guide, in easy-to-understand
language, to help them and their
primary care physicians under-
stand the controversy and make an
informed decision.
The new advice echoes guide-
lines from the American Cancer
Society.
This is a gray area of medi-
cine, said Dr. Ethan Basch, a
prostate cancer specialist at
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer
Center who co-chaired ASCOs
review. Thats made this a very
challenging discussion, and a very
challenging decision.
The guide makes clear that
before men decide to have the
PSA test, they should think about
how theyd react to a suspicious
result, and all the testing and treat-
ment decisions that would entail.
Too much PSA, or prostate-
specific antigen, in the blood
only sometimes signals prostate
cancer is brewing. It also can
mean a benign enlarged prostate
or an infection.
Only a biopsy can tell. Most
men will get prostate cancer if
they live long enough. Some
240,000 U.S. men a year are diag-
nosed with it, most with slow-
growing tumors that carry a very
low risk of morphing into the kind
that can kill.
Two huge studies, one in Europe
and one in the U.S., evaluated
whether routine screening can
save lives.
Without screening, about 5 in
every 1,000 men die of prostate
cancer over 10 years. The
European study found PSA testing
might prevent one of those deaths,
while the U.S. study found no dif-
ference.
ASCOs patient guide highlights
the European study results.

This is a gray area of medicine.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Yes, if Mitt Romney
wins the White House and his Republican allies
retake the Senate, he could shred most of
President Barack Obamas health care law
without having to overpower a Democratic li-
buster.
But it wont be as easy as some Republicans
portend, and it certainly wont be quick.
Why?
Because any realistic effort to repeal the
Affordable Care Act as opposed to last
weeks quixotic vote in the GOP-controlled
House is sure to get jumbled together with
lots of other issues, including Medicare, taxes,
food stamps and defense spending.
And thats because Republicans have to rst
pass a budget. Its the only way than can invoke
special Senate rules that allow legislation to
pass with just a simple majority vote instead
of the 60 votes needed in the 100-member
Senate to beat a libuster.
Passing a budget requires answering a raft of
questions unrelated to the relatively simple idea
of repealing Obamacare. How much to cut
the decit? Should Medicare be overhauled and
Medicaid bear sharp cuts? Is it realistic to
sharply boost defense programs, as Romney
would like, in such an atmosphere?
The rst step is to pass a budget resolution
a nonbinding, broad-brush outline of budget
goals like cutting or increasing taxes, or slow-
ing increases in Medicare. A budget resolution
sets the terms for follow-up legislation thats
called a reconciliation bill in Washington argot.
Two years ago, Democrats used a reconcilia-
tion bill to nalize the health care law with a 56-
43, party-line vote in the Senate.
Republicans have a problem in that theres a
lot more on their agenda than just repealing the
health care law, and its all going to have to be
crammed into a budget resolution and follow-
up reconciliation bill, too.
Theyre going to want to use that budget res-
olution to set up a tax bill, theyre going to want
to do other decit reduction, said Hazen
Marshall, a GOP lobbyist and the Senate
Budget Committees top aide in 2001 and 2003
when reconciliation bills were used to push for-
mer President George W. Bushs tax cuts
through Congress.
So I would think its just going to take some
time to get everybody on the same page as to
what the budget resolutions going to look like,
Marshall said.
In 2001, when Republicans set about the rel-
atively simple task of cutting taxes in an era of
unprecedented budget surpluses, it took them
until Memorial Day to pass the legislation.
What Republicans would confront next year
is far more difcult wrenching cuts to pro-
grams popular with voters. A more apt compar-
ison might be the GOPs budget efforts of 1995,
when it took the party until November to com-
plete action on its budget plan.
Its not that its not doable. It absolutely is
doable, said a senior House GOP budget aide.
Its just going to take a lot longer than every-
body wants it to. And people arent anticipating
the pain of each step to get to that point. The
aide spoke on condition of anonymity because
he wasnt authorized to speak on the record.
Republicans currently hold 47 Senate seats. If
they take control of the Senate, its not likely to
be by more than 1 to 4 votes, well short of 60.
That would put lots of leverage in the hands of
Senate GOP moderates like Susan Collins of
Maine and Scott Brown of Massachusetts,
should he win his difcult re-election bid.
Both Collins and Brown cast votes earlier this
year against the House GOP budget plan,
authored by Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis. At the cen-
ter of Ryans plan was controversial overhaul of
Medicare that would transform it
into a voucher-like program for
those who retire in 10 years.
Also voting against Ryans plan
was Rep. Denny Rehberg, R-
Mont., who Republicans are
counting on to win a Senate seat
this fall as a building block to a
GOP majority.
Keith Hennessey, a former
GOP Senate and White House
ofcial, says that if Republicans
follow past practice, theyll try
to forge a center-right agreement
that includes spending cuts but
no tax increases. But he noted
that the willingness of some
Republicans to embrace tax
increases could complicate mat-
ters.
You look at the Republicans
and you see that theres going to
be a spectrum on how deep theyre going to be
willing to cut various things, said Hennessey,
currently a research fellow at the Hoover
Institution at Stanford University. The ques-
tion is just how far toward the Ryan plan can
you get the moderate Republicans.
On the other hand, combining the repeal of
Obamas health care law with other GOP prior-
ities like curbing the decit gives lawmakers
who are not part of the leadership plenty of
incentive to vote for the package.
When elections are about certain policies
and are dened on that, youve got momentum
to do those things, said House GOP Whip
Kevin McCarthy of California.
A simple-majority reconciliation bill could
certainly cover the health care laws tax increas-
es including the penalties used to enforce the
individual mandate to buy insurance and
subsidies for insurance premiums.
Republicans, however, could not use the li-
buster-proof budget process to repeal provi-
sions in the health care that dont have a direct
impact on the governments balance sheet. For
example, it still would likely take 60 Senate
votes to repeal the laws requirement that insur-
ance companies cover people with pre-existing
conditions.
Experts say leaving the insurance reforms
intact on their own is economically unsustain-
able because the ratio of sick to healthy people
in the plans would be out of balance.

on both the dissolution recommenda-
tion at Wednesdays meeting and any
subsequent Board of Supervisors
action.
Horsley said there appears to be no
complaints about the rank and file, just
the management and the districts 21-
member board. He wants to know if the
county can manage the district better
and for no greater cost than is spent
now.
Im not really convinced one way or
the other. What I am convinced is that
nobody has been held accountable for
the lapses in management and Im con-
cerned about how it is governed,
Horsley said.
The district was expanded in 2003
during the West Nile threat and given a
21-member board to allow a funding
source through an assessment. The
county once handled rodent responsi-
bilities but transferred them to the dis-
trict in 2008 and shifted all vector con-
trol three years later.
The mosquito district is governed by
a board of appointees from each city
and the county while daily management
falls to General Manager Robert Gay.
Under his watch between 2009 and
2011, former finance director Joanne
Seeney worked for the district under the
name Jo Ann Dearman. Prosecutors
who eventually filed charges say she
and accounting assistant Vika Sinipata
embezzled at least $650,000 by giving
themselves extra pay at a higher rate
and fraudulent time off, excessively
contributed to their deferred compensa-
tion funds, used credit cards for person-
al purchases and electronically trans-
ferred money into their own accounts.
The alleged embezzlement came to
light last year when a district board
member from San Carlos questioned
expenses in the districts pesticide
account. At the time of Seeneys
employment, she had been prosecuted
in two different embezzlement cases
and served time for one while on med-
ical leave from the district.
Gay had not conducted either a crim-
inal or reference check on Seeney
before her hiring. After the alleged
embezzlement came to light, the board
put Gay on an employee improvement
plan. The board also extended his con-
tract. The district has since hired
Orange County internal auditor Dr.
Peter Hughes to comb through its finan-
cial controls and he is expected to
attend the upcoming LAFCo meeting to
detail the implemented changes. The
district has also created an assistant
manager position to oversee two finan-
cial staff members and requires crimi-
nal checks of prospective employees.
Based on these changes, district offi-
cials argue that elimination is a dire and
unnecessary step that would leave pub-
lic safety at risk in the larger Health
System structure. The district is also
getting support from some of its cities.
The San Bruno City Council previously
sent a letter of support and San Mateo
Mayor Brandt Grotte issued a similar
missive July 13.
Grotte said the city and county have
been well served by a district specifi-
cally devoted to mosquito and vector
control and believe the district has put
in place the right procedures to prevent
a repeat theft.
On the other hand, the San Carlos
City Council sent LAFCo a letter
endorsing dissolution. Mayor Matt
Grocott has also renewed its previous-
ly scuttled request for investigation by
the San Mateo County Civil Grand
Jury.
The LAFCo report up for discussion
at the July 18 meeting concludes that
the district effectively controls mosqui-
toes and other vermin but its boards
size and methods of appointment con-
strain accountability, visibility and
responsiveness to the public. The
county could provide the districts serv-
ices much as it does other environmen-
tal health programs because it is
already structured to deliver segregated
services like restaurant inspection and
water quality monitoring, according to
the report.
In his letter, Peterson said
Environmental Health could perform
the districts responsibilities along with
its other duties but that it is impera-
tive the current revenue source also be
transferred and protected.
Cost is a large concern for Supervisor
Adrienne Tissier, president of the Board
of Supervisors, who worries the figures
may go up if employees receive salaries
and benefits from the county. Tissier,
who sits on LAFCo, also admits having
mixed feelings while evaluating the dis-
tricts work against the previous lack of
checks and balances.
I want to make sure the ducks are in
line. I aIso want to make sure were not
just tackling this as a knee-jerk reac-
tion, Tissier said.
Supervisor Dave Pines main motiva-
tion in hoping the county looks at
absorbing the district is saving taxpayer
money through consolidation and elim-
inating duplicate services.
Pine said he hasnt yet had the chance
to speak with Peterson but regardless
hopes the Board of Supervisors weighs
in.
If LAFCo votes to facilitate possible
consolidation, Id hope we take a hard
look with a particular focus on how
much money could be saved, he said.
Tissier said she puts weight in
Petersons position as well as those of
the cities who sent letters. Horsley also
feels the cities letters offer insight.
All that verifies is that the workers
are doing a good job. It does not verify
that it is properly managed, he said.
LAFCo meets 2:30 p.m. Wednesday,
July 18 in Board Chambers, 400
County Government Center, Redwood
City.

efciencies to create long-term savings,
according to the district.
We really have well over $100 mil-
lion in changes we need to make. So, no
matter what, we need to be pursuing
other avenues of funding, said
Superintendent Craig Baker.
Growth within the district was the
impetus behind placing a measure on the
ballot now. Money raised could help add
space but also with renovations to
upgrade facilities to support newer tech-
nology.
The districts proposed project list is
exible allowing for a range of options
from building a new school or district
ofce to renovating and adding to exist-
ing facilities.
In March and April 2012, the district
commissioned a study to understand the
feasibility of a potential ballot measure
to allow the district to oat bonds to
raise money for capital and construction
projects. The ndings of the survey were
very favorable, showing strong support
for the school district and a potential
November bond measure.
San Carlos voters previously passed
Measure E in 2005. The passage allowed
the district to issue up to $38 million in
general obligation bonds.
San Carlos would be the rst district
to put a measure on the November bal-
lot.
The Burlingame Elementary School
District is also considering placing a
bond measure on the November ballot. A
meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, July
24 to decide.
The San Bruno Park Elementary
School District has been toying with the
idea of placing a parcel tax on the
November ballot. When discussed at the
boards June 27 meeting, trustees dis-
agreed on the possible amount and dura-
tion of such a measure.

BOND
TUESDAY, JULY 17, 2012
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Be careful about invit-
ing others to drop in anytime unless you really mean
it. Someone could take you up on your invitation and
interrupt you at a most inappropriate moment.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Recommending to others
an idea or suggestion that youve never tested could
land you in a whole lot of trouble. It might look good
on paper, but fail miserably in practice.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Avoid taking a gamble on
something that could affect not only your resources
but also those of others. Even if Lady Luck has been
hanging out on your doorstep lately, she might be
elsewhere today.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It might be fattering to
you when a member of the opposite gender comes
on to you, but if its inappropriate in any way, it will
spell big trouble if you respond in kind.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Relying on wit and
charm to get you by may work up to a point, but if
the going gets tough you could quickly lose all your
steam. Make sure to have a solid foundation under-
girding your fourishes.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Base your hopes
and expectations on solid bedrock and not on loose,
shifting sand. Your desires will be dashed if there is
nothing substantial holding them in place.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Because your be-
havior and motives are likely to be closely scrutinized
by anybody and everybody, dont do anything foolish
that would be detrimental to your image.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Its an enviable qual-
ity, your innate wisdom, but you might step out of
character and reward someone you shouldnt while
ignoring the deserving.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You might be offered a
proposition that appears nifty on the surface but has
hidden strings attached. Dont be reluctant to ask
whatever pertinent questions you think necessary.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Do not let a close
colleague make a decision about a shared concern
without discussing things with you frst. This persons
choice might beneft him or her but not you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Try not to overextend
yourself by taking on an assignment of anothers in
addition your own, no matter how much the other
person needs help.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It would be best not to
request a favor from someone you just met, no mat-
ter how much trouble youre in. Go to an old friend
for whom youve done much in the past -- he or she
owes you a favor.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Eugene Oscar Brown
Case Number 122490
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Eugene Oscar Brown,
aka Eugene O. Brown, aka Eugene
Brown. A Petition for Probate has been
filed by Bonnie Bridges in the Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo.
The Petition for Probate requests that
Bonnie Bridges be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
able for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This
athourity will allow the personal repre-
sentative to take many actions without
203 Public Notices
obtaining court approval. Before taking
certain very important actions, however,
the personal representative will be re-
quired to give notice to interested per-
sons unless they have waived notice or
consented to the proposed action.) The
independent administration authority will
be granted unless an interested person
files an objection to the petition and
shows good cause why the court should
not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: August 13, 2012 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, 1st Floor, Redwood City,
CA 94063. If you object to the granting
of the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
