GOP gov candidates talk immigration JULIET WILLIAMS Associated Press Writer

SAN JOSE Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Poizner said Sunday he now supports Arizona’s tough immigration law after previously opposing it, and he applauds California’s neighbor for taking action where the federal government failed to do so.

“I support what’s going on in Arizona.

They’ve taken, finally, the power in their own hands to do something about illegal immigration in Arizona,” he said at the start of the second debate of the Republican

gubernatorial primary.

Poizner, the state insurance commissioner, said he previously had concerns that the law encouraged racial profiling, but supports it now that Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has approved some changes to the measure.

Poizner squared off against rival Meg Whitman, the former eBay Inc. chief executive, at the Tech Museum in San Jose.

Whitman and Poizner quickly took shots at each other. Poizner attacked Whitman repeatedly over her ties to Goldman Sachs, the embattled Wall Street firm that gave Whitman preferential access to stock offerings while she

was head of the online auction house.

At the same, Whitman accused Poizner of flip-flopping in his positions on immigration, taxes and abortion.

Whitman, who opposes the new Arizona law, said Poizner’s shift on it was “a classic case of Steve Poizner changing his mind. ...

He has changed his position on virtually every single thing.”

Poizner is trying to overcome a doubledigit deficit in the race against Whitman ahead of the June 8 primary. The winner will face Democratic state Attorney General Jerry Brown.

OCEAN PARK BLVD Plans to beautify and environmentally enhance a nine-block section of Ocean Park Boulevard got the City Council’s unanimous support last week, bringing a long-desired project a step closer to completion.

City Hall planners said they’re still about a year away from breaking ground on the project, which officials said will transform the boulevard’s western-most section, between Lincoln Boulevard and Neilson Way, into a “complete green street,” with extended curbs, wider bike lanes and medians with more green space. The plan also calls for new pedestrian crosswalks and more landscaping next to the sidewalks, which planners said will capture more stormwater runoff, reducing the amount of discharge into Santa Monica Bay. About $2.2 million of the $4.5 million approved for the project comes from Measure V, the clean water parcel tax voters approved in 2006. The Measure V funds will be used for the urban runoff aspects of the project.

The project received enthusiastic support from Ocean Park residents on Tuesday, some of whom said the idea for the project has been discussed for the past 17 years.

Planning Director Eileen Fogarty called the plan a concrete example of how City Hall is working to make Santa Monica more pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly while also implementing environmental sustainability policies.

“We talk about this kind of thing in a hypothetical sense in the LUCE all the time — well here it is in reality,” she told the City Council on Tuesday. (LUCE stands for the city’s long-term planning document, or Land Use and Circulation Element.) “The objectives for the project were really to take Ocean Park Boulevard and reclaim it for public open space.”

Members of the Ocean Park Association, including Jeff Jarow, also praised the concept. Despite added space for pedestrians and bicyclists, he said the plan won’t impede

Audit finds L.A. County overpaid its health workers THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES An audit found Los Angeles

’Nightmare,’ ‘Iron Man’ lead box office DAVID GERMAIN AP Movie Writer

LOS ANGELES Freddy Krueger is raking in cash at the box office again, while Robert Downey Jr.’s “Iron Man 2” got off to a big start overseas.

A remake of the slasher flick “A Nightmare on Elm Street” led the weekend with a $32.2 million debut domestically, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Released by the Warner Bros. banner New Line, the movie features Jackie Earle Haley as Krueger, a psycho killer who stalks and slays victims in their dreams.

Paramount’s “Iron Man 2” got an international head start on its domestic debut this Friday, pulling in $100.2 million in 53 foreign

markets. While Hollywood blockbusters typically open around the same date in most countries, some get an overseas jump of a week or more on their U.S. debuts.

“Iron Man 2” brought in $12.2 million in Great Britain, $10.8 million in South Korea, $8.8 million in Australia and $8.2 million in France. According to Paramount, the sequel had bigger openings than 2008’s “Iron Man” in every market.

"Iron Man 2” continues the story of Downey’s billionaire superhero, a genius who builds himself a metal suit loaded with gadgets. Mickey Rourke co-stars as a new enemy with his own high-tech arsenal.

Fright films typically drop steeply in their second weekends, since hardcore horror fans rush out to see them in the first few days. But

"Real strawberries and white chocolate…. in your pancakes!"

“A Nightmare on Elm Street” already is headed toward a solid profit after an opening weekend that roughly matched its modest production budget of just over $30 million.

Given the history of slasher sagas — the original 1984 “A Nightmare on Elm Street” was followed by seven sequels — the franchise likely has a long life ahead of it.

“It’s certainly something we would entertain, the same with ‘Friday the 13th,’” another New Line horror series that was revived last year and has a sequel in the works, said Dan Fellman, head of distribution at Warner Bros.

County-USC Medical Center and the county Department of Health Services overpaid workers tens of thousands of dollars in bonuses, sick pay, disability pay and overtime.

The county audit, started two years ago and released last week, concluded the county needs to do more to monitor over- and underpayments.

More than $85,000 in overpayments were found, including to at least 15 employees who received a total of $18,500 in bonuses.

Six workers were overpaid a total of $20,000 in workers’ compensation after they returned to work or became disabled, the audit found. Ten salary overpayments were made totaling $16,000.

Auditors recommended that hospital and health-services officials improve how they monitor employee compensation and time cards.

In a written response to the audit, department officials said they accept the findings and recommendations and have corrected their mistakes, recovering overpayments, adjusting some employees’ leave and repaying others.

“We’ve put a lot of protocols in place in order to ensure it does not happen again,” Greg Polk, an administrative deputy with the department, told The Los Angeles Times.

Auditors are now reviewing the finances of all county hospitals, Polk said. An audit of Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center released last year also revealed employee overpayment errors, including $2 million in bonus overpayments to nurses.

Polk said the problem is not widespread, however, and that after the Rancho audit, department officials created a bonus review unit to prevent errors.

Have a heart for wildlife Editor:

The tragic circumstances of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico threatens the wildlife on the Gulf Coast. These states and cities that are in that area are doing everything that they can to protect the wildlife and other resources including government emergency aid from President Obama.

If, God forbid, it was Santa Monica, the powers that be would let the wildlife die or kill them off because they would be a problem. That’s the easy way out when you are heartless.

Measure A just prolongs agony

MANAGING EDITOR Daniel Archuleta

THE SANTA MONICA-MALIBU UNIFIED

School District has lurched from one fiscal crisis to another for the past two decades. It’s a deep, dark money pit run by administrators and governed by a Board of Education with little aptitude for managing money. Our children are held hostage and we taxpayers are asked to ransom them over and over. Some history: 1988’s Measure TT taxed properties at $58 per parcel. In November of 1990, Prop ES, a $75 million school bond measure, was approved by voters.

Measure Y, a $98 parcel tax, was approved in November of 2000. Backers claimed, “Without Measure Y, there will be severe cutbacks in academic programs, which will seriously harm the high educational quality we expect from our local schools ... including cutbacks in funds for advanced science and technology.”

In 1994, Measure K boosted TT’s tax to $68 from $58.

School supporters floated Measure EE, a $300 per parcel tax in November 2002. It was necessary, they said, “to meet potential cuts in state funding.” “(It) may be the only way local schools can avert slashing programs and staff,” said then school superintendent John Deasy at the time. Voters said EE was ”too much” and it failed.

Measure S, a $225 parcel tax, was approved in June of 2003. Campaign propaganda warned, “pink slips have made the rounds at local schools due to recent budget cuts from the state. Passage would … restore teaching positions and other programs including music and arts programs.”

Sound familiar?

In May 2004, the city of Santa Monica approved a Facility Use Agreement with the SMMUSD. It provided $6 million for SMMUSD coffers and featured a cost of living adjustment that adds hundreds of thousands of dollars each year.

Measure BB, the district’s $268-million “safety and repair bond" was approved by voters in November 2006.

In November 2008, temporary, “emergency” tax measures Y and S (which were about to expire) were combined into Measure R for a $346 annual total tax, per parcel. It passed. Unlike Y and S, Measure R is permanent.

Now, another parcel tax, Measure A with a $198 annual charge per parcel, is seeking voter approval via special mail-in ballot. And, another school improvement bond measure could be on a ballot as early as next year.

District Financial Oversight Committee chair Michael Rich (a RAND executive vice president) told the school board on March 12, 2001, "Over the last 20 months the financial crisis has become a crisis of competency and credibility, requiring fundamental reforms of serious systemic problems.”

For five years, the mismanagement contin-

ued. Then, the Daily Press reported on Nov. 20, 2006, about a tentative agreement for a pay raise with the Santa Monica-Malibu Classroom Teachers Association. Paul Silvern, Financial Oversight Committee chair was quoted, “Negotiating parties reached the agreement without considering the financial implication of a 5 percent pay raise …” which he said could “undermine the public’s confidence in the district’s ability to handle its finances, it could have detrimental effects on a future measure to increase parcel taxes …”

Previous school superintendent Dianne Talarico certified on an L.A. County Office of Education document that the district could meet the costs of the agreement. Chief Business Officer Winston Braham disagreed and resigned, setting off a fiscal crisis and a bitter controversy over “gag orders.”

The state-endorsed Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team (FCMAT) reviewed district operations and said in February 2007, “Strategic changes in regard to spending, staffing, handling money and enrollment were needed.

Continued changes in financial management policies, increased revenues and/or cuts in costs would be necessary to avoid future fiscal crises."

Meanwhile, the district continued to spend and add programs despite warnings about pending cuts in state educational funding, thus placing our children’s education in jeopardy. And, once again, certain select taxpayers are being asked to “fix” things with another tax increase.

Now, unemployment is near record highs, residential real estate prices are at four and five year lows. One friend has been unemployed for 26 months. Another’s small business is down 30 percent. My income is down. Yet, all our personal pain doesn’t matter to the cheerleaders behind A. Maybe one reason is that many of them are North of Montana homeowners, attorneys and wealthy business persons who don’t fret about a paltry $544 in school taxes.

Measure A’s $198 liability will be added to the $346 Measure R bite approved in 2008. If “A” passes, the combined tax liability for each and every non-exempt property in Santa Monica and Malibu will be $544 and increase annually because of Measure R’s built-in cost of living adjustment.

Although “A” will supposedly sunset in 2015, more than likely, parcel tax advocates will push to extend it permanently as has been the case with previous “temporary” measures.

Only a “No” vote will force reform and the promise of a better, more reliable educational district. Voting “Yes” means even more turmoil, instability, incompetence and taxes to come.

States want to share patient drug usage to curb abuse GREG RISLING Associated Press Writer

LOS ANGELES On his night shift in a busy emergency room, Dr. Jacob Khushigian inevitably finds a few patients more likely to be hunting for drugs than medical attention.

The guy who claims he has severe abdominal pain doesn’t grimace when sitting up. A woman who recently moved to the area fails to disclose she sees a doctor elsewhere. An ambulance patient complaining of a sore leg and back doesn’t reveal she was turned away by another hospital.

There was a time Khushigian’s hunches took weeks to confirm and required phoning or faxing the attorney general’s office to obtain a patient’s prescription drug information. Nowadays, a computer helps him catch cheaters. But it can only reach so far.

While a state online drug database went into effect last year to thwart addicts who bounce from doctor to doctor to feed a habit or make a small fortune peddling meds, there’s now a push to extend it beyond state lines to snare socalled doctor shoppers and curb drug abuse.

“The whole purpose of this is to have states communicating with one another,” said Dr. Laxmaiah Manchikanti, chief executive officer of the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians. “If you know a patient is abusing, a doctor isn’t going to give that patient a prescription any more.”

Doctors can be hamstrung in making critical decisions about prescribing painkillers if they aren’t able to find out if patients filled prescriptions elsewhere.

A nationwide network might have helped Michael Jackson’s doctor better monitor the medication he was receiving from multiple doctors.

Dr. Conrad Murray, who was recently charged with involuntary manslaughter in the singer’s death, told police Jackson gave few details when Murray repeatedly asked about Jackson’s medications, according to an affidavit. The Los Angeles County coroner said Jackson was killed by a mix of a powerful anesthetic and a sedative.

Police have searched for information in three states to see if Jackson’s medical history played a role in his June death.

Jackson’s death and those of other celebrities such as former Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith and actor Corey Haim highlight the dangers of prescription drug abuse. More U.S. teens used prescription drugs over any other illicit drug except marijuana, the Office of National Drug Control Policy reported.

Forty states have passed legislation to allow prescription drug monitoring programs, but only 34 are operating.

Prescription Electronic Reporting Act signed

by President Bush in 2005, more than $50 million has been appropriated to states for programs where doctors and other authorized users, such as police in some cases, can access patient records.

The law aims to have a coordinated national system, but there are no estimates what that would cost and a majority of the federal money hasn’t been allocated.

Joanee Quirk, who runs Nevada’s prescription monitoring program, said having access to other state databases would help stop those from Southern California or Hawaii who come to Las Vegas or Reno to score Vicodin or OxyContin.

Nevada’s four-year-old program has grown to more than 225,000 patient requests in 2009 from about 155,000 in 2008.

Most prescription monitoring programs are voluntary, but Nevada requires doctors to check a patient’s drug history during a first visit.

“If we took it away the practitioners would have a revolution,” Quirk said. “It’s almost like getting a lab test, where the doctors are trying to figure out what is wrong with this person and whether they are trying to get drugs legally.”

Some privacy groups are concerned databases could invade patients’ privacy.

Virginia’s database was hacked into in April 2009 and millions of electronic records were stolen by a thief still at large.

“There is a significant intrusion into the lives of individuals who are taking these medications legitimately,” said Pam Dixon of World Privacy Forum, a nonprofit public interest research group. “There needs to be more restrictions about who can access this information.”

The response to having secure, online access to patient records has been overwhelming so far in California. More than 2,300 doctors, pharmacists, physician assistants and registered nurses have used the Web site since September to access more than 134,000 patient reports. The state had averaged about 60,000 requests annually when they received requests by phone or fax.

Katherine Ellis, who runs the database of about 100 million prescriptions, said emergency room doctors would benefit most from a multistate system.

“If there was a way for ER doctors to sign on as they are triaging that patient and see if that person has been doctor shopping, then they may not elect to give them the controlled substances,” she said.

Khushigian, 52, who works at Kaweah Delta District Hospital in Visalia in the Central Valley, is glad he no longer has to rely solely on his gut every night. He uses the database two or three times a night to shut down potential abusers.

the fact that manufacturers of household cleaners still use animals to test the toxicity of their products is not only inhumane — why should innocent animals have to suffer and die so we can get our floors a little cleaner? — but also illogical, as modern lab tests not involving living creatures can discern more practical information faster and for less money. Another problem with animal testing is that its findings don’t always successfully predict real-world human outcomes.

According to the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), for instance, animal tests on rats and rabbits over several decades “failed to predict the birth defect-causing properties of PCBs, industrial solvents and many drugs, while cancer tests in rats and mice failed to detect the hazards of asbestos, benzene, cigarette smoke, and many other substances.” The group blames these shortcomings of animal testing for “delaying consumer and worker protection measures by decades in some cases.”

While animal product testing is still allowed in the U.S. (researchers here are continuing to improve alternative testing methods that can potentially replace the use of live animals in the lab), Europe is leading the charge toward a future where highly trained lab technicians with computers and robots will replace sacrificial animals in assessing the toxicity of various substances. A ban on animal testing in cosmetics and household products will go into effect across the European Union in 2013.

American animal advocates would like to see similar legislation on the books in the U.S., but at this juncture it appears unlikely to happen for some time. Nonetheless, many are hopeful that Europe’s action on the issue will help move the cosmetics and household products industries in the U.S. and elsewhere away from harming animals for consumers’ sake.

GETTING AROUND: The Leaping Bunny logo is now displayed on the packaging of more than 300 cosmetics and household products for sale across the United States.

In the meantime, if you’re looking to avoid household cleaners that subject critters to poisons, you’ve never had so many choices.

Back in 1996 eight national animal protection groups banded together to form the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics (CCIC) in order to unify behind one standard for so-called “cruelty-free” cosmetics and household products. The resulting Leaping Bunny certification logo is now proudly displayed on the packaging of more than 300 cosmetics and household products for sale across the U.S. The shopping guide on the coalition’s LeapingBunny.org website points consumers to various household cleaning and other types of products that don’t contain any ingredients subject to new animal testing.

Some of the top household cleaning products that meet Leaping Bunny criteria and are practical for a wide range of domestic tasks come from companies such as Seventh Generation, Earth Friendly Products, Earth Alive, Citra Solv, Nature Clean and Vermont Soapworks, among many others. You can order these products online via websites like Planet Natural and Green Feet, and many are sold in natural food stores.

President says stopping spill could take many more days ROBERT BURNS STEVEN R. HURST Associated Press Writers

VENICE, La. No remedy in sight, President Barack Obama on Sunday warned of a “massive and potentially unprecedented environmental disaster” as a badly damaged oil well in the Gulf of Mexico spewed a widening and deadly slick toward delicate wetlands and wildlife. He said it could take many days to stop.

Obama flew to southern Louisiana to inspect forces arrayed against the oil gusher as Cabinet members described the situation as grave and insisted the administration was doing everything it could. Then he took a 15mile helicopter ride over marshlands and estuaries to a coastal area, but high winds prevented the craft from going out to the 30-mile oil slick caused by as much as 210,000 gallons of crude gushing into the Gulf each day.

The spill threatened not only the environment but also the region’s abundant fishing industry, which Obama called “the heartbeat of the region’s economic life.” As of now, it appeared little could be done in the short term to stem the oil flow, which was also drifting toward the beaches of neighboring Mississippi and farther east along the Florida Panhandle. Obama said the slick was 9 miles off the coast of southeastern Louisiana.

Those who live and work in the region braced for the economic impact on fishing and tourism. In front of a cabin and RV park in Boothville, along Louisiana Highway 23, was a plywood sign pleading: “Obama Send Help!!!!”

BP Chairman Lamar McKay raised faint hope that the spill might be stopped more quickly by lowering a hastily manufactured dome to the ruptured wellhead a mile deep in the next six to eight days, containing the oil and then pumping it to the surface. Such a procedure has been used in some well blowouts but never at the mile-deep waters of this disaster.

The leaking well was not only an ecological disaster but a potential political hazard, as well, depending on how the public judges the Obama administration’s response. In 2005, President George W. Bush stumbled in dealing with Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf and left the impression of a president distant from immense suffering. His presidency never recovered.

An investigation is under way into the cause of the April 20 well explosion and,

depending on its outcome, questions may be raised about whether federal regulation of offshore rigs operating in extremely deep waters is sufficient and whether the government is requiring the best available technology to shut off such wells in event of a blowout.

The president vowed that his administration, while doing all it could to mitigate the disaster, would require well owner BP America to bear all costs. “Your government will do whatever it takes for as long as it takes to stop this crisis,” he said.

"BP is responsible for this leak. BP will be paying the bill,” Obama said after a Coast Guard briefing in Venice, a Gulf Coast community serving as a staging area for the response. He stood before cameras in a heavy rain, water dripping from his face.

The president also stopped to talk with six local fishermen and said the challenge is “How do we plug this hole?” After that, he said, protecting the estuaries would be the next priority.

“We’re going to do everything in our power to protect our natural resources, compensate those who have been harmed, rebuild what has been damaged and help this region persevere like it has done so many times before,” Obama said.

Arriving in New Orleans, the president shunned helicopter travel because of a threat of tornadoes and drove to Venice to tour a close-to-the-water staging area where the government and BP were trying to keep the slick from causing even more damage.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said any comparison between the ruptured BP oil well and Katrina was “a total mischaracterization” and that the government had taken an “all hands on deck” approach from the beginning. While administration officials said they were on top of the accident from the first day, a declaration of national significance — opening the way for greater government involvement — was not made for nine days.

Administration officials have been at pains to explain that Obama’s late March decision to expand offshore oil exploration could be altered as a result of the spill and that stricter safety rules would doubtless be written into leases.

In reality, oil companies and the government lack the technology to prevent the damage from a well gushing masses of oil, killing wildlife and tainting a delicate ecosystem. The oil washing ashore could ruin the coastal fishing industry.

‘Furry Vengeance’ bombed FROM BOX OFFICE PAGE 3 whose remake had a $40 million opening weekend in February 2009.

This weekend’s other new wide release, Brendan Fraser’s family comedy “Furry Vengeance,” bombed with just $6.5 million.

The Summit Entertainment release stars Fraser as a housing developer assailed by the cute woodland creatures whose habitat is threatened by construction.

The previous weekend’s No. 1 movie, DreamWorks Animation’s hit “How to Train Your Dragon,” slipped to second place with $10.8 million, raising its total to $192.4 million.

While “A Nightmare on Elm Street” opened well, overall business was modest, continuing a lull as theaters prepare for the summer season, Hollywood’s busiest time.

With “Iron Man 2,” new potential blockbusters will start arriving virtually every weekend through August. Downey’s “Iron Man” premiered domestically with a whopping $98.6 million weekend, ranking No. 15 on the chart for best debuts.

“What ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ did is bridge the gap between the middling last part of spring leading into the summer,” said Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com. “’Iron Man 2,’ I’m prepared to say, is going to be one of the biggest openings of all time. Interest is huge.”

In limited release, Sony Pictures Classics’

BY THE NUMBERS 1. “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” $32.2 million.

2. “How to Train Your Dragon,” $10.8 million.

3. “Date Night,” $7.6 million.

4. “The Back-up Plan,” $7.2 million.

5. “Furry Vengeance,” $6.5 million.

6. “The Losers,” $6 million.

7. “Clash of the Titans,” $5.98 million.

8. “Kick-ass,” $4.5 million.

9. “Death at a Funeral,” $4 million.

10. “Oceans,” $2.6 million.

“Please Give” opened strongly with $128,696 in five theaters, averaging a healthy $25,739 a cinema. That compares with an average of $9,665 in 3,332 theaters for “A Nightmare on Elm Street.”

“Please Give” stars Catherine Keener and Oliver Platt as a Manhattan couple who buy an elderly neighbor’s adjoining apartment — with the stipulation that the old woman can live out her life there before the buyers can do any expanding and remodeling.

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Final figures will be released Monday.

City to make room for bicyclists with ‘sharrows’ FROM PROJECT PAGE 1 vehicular traffic on either the boulevard’s westbound or eastbound lane.

“It’s going to be a really nice street to drive through, to bike through, to walk through,” Jarow said.

“I’m so happy I’ll be able to cross the street and go to the dog park safely,” added OPA Board Member Pauline Bohannon.

The council on Tuesday also unanimously approved plans for a streetscape project on 20th Street and Cloverfield Boulevard that planning officials said would improve sidewalks and parkway areas while maintaining the existing street and parking configuration.

The improvements would be made mainly to the roads between the I-10 Freeway and

Pico Boulevard.

The project calls for new pedestrian lighting and the addition of street markings called “sharrows” on 20th Street — an alternative to a dedicated bicycle lane that lets motorists know the street is to be shared with bike riders.

Adding a dedicated bike lane between Pico Boulevard and Michigan Avenue would have required eliminating one northbound lane, which would have diverted 800 peek hour vehicles onto neighborhood streets, a City Hall report said.

The project also calls for removing 36 bottlebrush trees and replacing them with 107 crape myrtle, evergreen madrona and firewheel trees “to provide a more substantial canopy,” according to the report.

Before the vote, Councilman Kevin

WE TALK ABOUT THIS KIND OF THING IN A HYPOTHETICAL SENSE IN THE LUCE ALL THE TIME — WELL HERE IT IS IN REALITY.” Eileen Fogarty Planning director

McKeown said the plan to add Santa Monica’s first “sharrows” to the road is a step forward. Cities like Berkeley, Chicago and Long Beach already use the bike-friendly markings on shared streets.

“It sends the message, not just on this street, but to the whole community, that bicycles have the right to be on the road,”

McKeown said.

The budget for the project is $5.2 million.

On Tuesday, the council approved an additional $175,000 for the project’s designer, Ahbe Landscape Architects, bringing the firm’s total contract to $625,000. nickt@smdp.com

Then, based on the other numbers in the row and column of each blank cell, find which of the missing numbers will work. Eliminating numbers will eventually lead you to the answer.

SOLUTIONS TO YESTERDAY’S PUZZLE

CHUCK

SHEPARD

■ (1) A February New York Times/CBS News poll, asking respondents if they approve of gays serving openly in the military, found that 79 percent of selfidentified Democrats approve if openly serving gays are referred to in the question as "gay men and lesbians."

However, when the openly serving gays are referred to in the question as "homosexuals," only 43 percent of self-identified Democrats approve. (2) In March, the government of New South Wales in Australia granted "Norrie" a certificate as the state's (perhaps the country's, perhaps the world's) only official genderless person. Norrie prefers to live that way, and two doctors had certified that the former male is now "physically and psychologically androgynous."

■ What stunned officials in Polson, Mont., the most wasn't that Brent Wilson, 53, was charged in March with attempting to illegally acquire ownership of someone else's house. It was that Wilson had attempted to register the title as property located on the "third planet from the sun" and as a conveyance from God, in a transaction that has yet to take place (scheduled for the year 6010). Authorities believe Wilson might have fallen for the elaborate teachings of a scammer who conducts seminars on outsmarting the law governing foreclosures. Wilson was also charged with breaking into the house illegally and changing the locks.

Said the recording supervisor of Gallatin County, "I can't explain why people do what they do."
