Samohi falls to Leuzinger

NEW YORK The chatter died down as all eyes turned to a member of the cadre, who given the events earlier that day had something important to say to his ROTC students.

It was just hours earlier that four planes hijacked by terrorists crashed into the twin towers in Manhattan, the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pa., killing thousands of people in the air and on the ground.

“You are all going to war,” a training officer said during dinner. “Even those of you going to the National Guard, you are not getting out of this one.”

Eight years later, Officer Robert D’Andrea is back from his second deployment to Iraq in five years with the United States National Guard, one of about a half dozen officers from the Santa Monica Police Department who have fought in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“He was right,” D’Andrea said, reflecting back on the conversation with the training

for the Santa Monica High School Vikings going into Friday night’s home seasonopener against the Leuzinger Olympians.

Save a couple of tremendous efforts, they didn’t really improve and lost, 19-33.

Coach Travis Clark, who piloted his first game with the Vikings on Friday, said that 21 players were unable to practice on Thursday due to the sudden appearance and spread of flu-like symptoms among his players. By kickoff, the number of sick players was down to 10, but this still left the Vikings noticeably unprepared.

“A lot of things went wrong,” Clark said.

“We played sloppy football today — no excuses, just rough. We only had two days of practice, a lot of kids down with the flu. … Illness happens and you have got to throw guys in on the run, and it shows.

“It definitely shows.”

The Vikings were able to hold their ground early, keeping the score even at 12 by the half.

Not long into the second half, Vikings quarterback Garrett Safron threw an interception on third-and-one, picked off by captain defensive back Toney Sawyer at the Vikings 40 yard line. Four plays later Sawyer would snag a 10-yard pass for a touchdown, putting the Olympians up 19-12.

“For the rest of the year,” said Leuzinger coach Deon Toliver regarding the expectedly large amount of passing done by his offense for the win, “we have a college quarterback. We have got to use him, and that’s what we’re doing.”

Viking captain, wide receiver and defensive back Mike Smith returned the following kickoff 80 yards to the Olympians’ 5 yard line.

On second and 10, Safron dropped back, saw a sizeable hole to his right, and drove it in to give the Vikings their final touchdown; with the extra point, the Vikings led 19-18 with 4:12 remaining in the third.

Though the Santa Monica defense fought to hang on, keeping the gap within a touchdown into the fourth quarter, their coverage eventually cracked, seeing

Obama expects to see care bill approved soon STEVEN R. HURST Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON President Barack Obama said

WAVE RIDING

Brandon Wise brandonw@smdp.com Judges look from above as surfers compete in the Malibu Surfing Association's Coalition of Surfing Clubs annual Classic invitational surfing contest on Saturday. The contest was held at historic First Point, Surfrider Beach, and was open to the public.

Swine flu shots may start early October THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON The nation’s first round of swine flu shots could begin sooner than expected, with some vaccine available as early as the first week of October, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Sunday.

Sebelius said she is confident the vaccine will be available early enough to beat the peak of the expected flu season this fall and that early doses are intended for health care workers and other high-priority groups.

“We’re on track to have an ample supply rolling by the middle of October. But we may have some early vaccine as early as the first full week in October. We’ll get the vaccine out the door as fast as it rolls off the production line,” she told ABC’s “This Week.”

The possibility of early shots follows encouraging news from last week about the swine flu vaccine. Researchers have discovered that one dose instead of two could be enough for healthy adults, and protection could begin once vaccinated within 10 days instead of three weeks.

“That’s great, which means we’ll have a lot more vaccine,” she said. “We also have seen a robust immune response within 10 days, instead of three weeks as was feared.”

Sebelius said the vaccine doses will be distributed immediately to designated locations across the country once they are available.

“Every state has a plan saying these are the sites to get the vaccine as quickly as possible into people’s arms. That’s where the distribution will go,” she said.

“So, the first week in October, we expect

some of the vaccine to begin to roll, and by mid-October, to have the kind of supplies we were talking about. But we may have some available earlier. And we’ll get it out to states as fast as it comes off the production lines,” Sebelius said.

One dose means tight supplies of H1N1 vaccine won’t be stretched so badly. Had it taken twice that dose, or two shots apiece, half as many people could have received the vaccine.

The winter flu vaccine is widely available now, and health authorities urged people last week to get shots now before swine flu shots start arriving.

In addition to concerns about swine flu, doctors also expect some garden-variety flu this fall as well, an illness that typically kills 36,000 Americans and hospitalizes 200,000 each year.

he is confident Congress will pass “a good health care bill,” as months of rancor over reforming the nation’s health care system seemed to be easing Sunday, with the White House playing down an immediate role for a government insurance option.

At the same time, Obama was critical of Republican opponents who he said were trying to block an overhaul of the nation’s heath care system for political gain.

“I believe that we will have enough votes to pass not just any health care bill, but a good health care bill that helps the American people, reduces costs, actually over the longterm controls our deficit. I’m confident that we’ve got that,” Obama said in an interview broadcast Sunday on CBS’ “60 Minutes.

“There are those in the Republican party who think the best thing to do is just to kill reform. That that will be good politics.”

Obama has retaken the offensive on his key domestic policy issue, most notably with a speech last week to both houses of Congress.

And sought to turn down the heat over a government-run health insurance plan.

“The public option is only a means to that end and we should remain open to other ideas that accomplish our ultimate goal,” he said.

Obama is trying to push opposing lawmakers away from positions — both left and right — that were threatening stalemate.

That’s what happened when Bill Clinton, the last Democratic president, tried to push through an overhaul in the 1990s.

Obama’s spokesman, Robert Gibbs, drove home that point again Sunday.

The president “prefers the public option,” Gibbs said. “However, he said what’s most important is choice and competition.”

And Sen. Olympia Snowe, the Maine Republican who could be the party’s only senator who votes with Democrats, believes choice and competition can be ensured without the public option.

“It’s not on the table. And it won’t be,” she said Sunday. “We’ll be using the co-op as an option at this point, as the means for injecting competition in the process,” she said.

Snowe sits on a six-member panel — three from each party — of the Senate SEE CARE PAGE 10

Editor:

The city’s solution to alleviate the poor water quality by trapping pigeons [at the Santa Monica Pier] in a net to prevent them from pooping in the ocean reminds me of a man bailing out his flooded basement with a thimble.

And worse yet, when small animals and birds are involved in their decision making, they consistently choose the cruelest possible solution even when animal and bird experts present them with a better and more humane solution.

These experts have said that the net will trap the birds who would then die a slow and painful death and yet the City Council marches on, determined to choose a solution that is cruel and will have little impact on the water quality.

It’s time the City Council listened to the experts and not have their priorities fixated on other motives.

Downtown parking fixes may make things worse

editor@smdp.com

MANAGING EDITOR Daniel Archuleta daniela@smdp.com

STAFF WRITER Melody Hanatani melodyh@smdp.com

DESPITE MY AUG. 8 COLUMN ABOUT

proposed parking fee increases in Downtown last Tuesday, City Council (by a six to one vote) conceptually approved a raft of recommendations and asked staff for a "plan of action" that will eventually make it much more expensive to park in the Bayside area — despite record unemployment and a recession.

The goal is to better utilize resources and make Downtown parking more efficient in garages around the Third Street Promenade. A proposal was presented to council by Walker Parking Consultants — the same firm I wrote about previously that claimed the cost of parking Downtown was “under priced.” Nevertheless, City Council endorsed recommendations to raise hourly rates for on-street parking to $1.50 and then $2 per hour and expand meter operation hours from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m.

Other recommendations were to keep the first hour of parking free in city garages, charge $1 beginning with the second hour of parking (now free) and $2 for each additional hour. The daily maximum rate would jump to $9 from $7, the evening flat rate would increase to $5 from $3 and the monthly rate would jump to $121 from $82.50.

City Council seems to ignore the fact that parking expense is a factor when deciding where to dine, see a movie or shop. And, there’s also the pressure to stop spending and depart quickly to avoid extra parking fees which also reduces revenues — a condition confirmed by an employee of Easton’s Gym on the promenade who said increased parking fees could exceed the cost of the gym’s membership and damage his business.

Councilman Richard Bloom stated that people come here because it’s attractive despite traffic and difficult parking. He didn’t see increased parking fees interfering with Downtown’s dynamics. Bloom better hope he’s right. If the Downtown dynamic does change, as fellow councilman Bob Holbrook said, “We’ll become another Westwood Village." Twenty years ago Westwood was an exciting regional attraction and is now pretty much a “ghost town.”

Only Bob Holbrook gets it. He predicted higher pricing would discourage folks from coming to Downtown Santa Monica when they can park cheaper elsewhere.

Holbrook urged keeping the two hours of free parking and was against raising the evening flat rate because, “Then, I can still go to Santa Monica ... go to a movie and dinner and the parking doesn’t knock me out of the picture.” Holbrook knows which side of the bread the butter is on.

Mayor Ken Genser justified parking rate increases with a convoluted argument that if parking costs increased with inflation over the

years, parking would be much more expensive than the modest increases proposed, suggesting that council was doing us all a favor.

How condescending.

Another strategy is to stop Downtown employees who hog spaces and shuffle their vehicles in and out of parking garages every two hours to avoid paying. Implementing a “one hour free” model makes it impractical for Bayside workers to play musical cars but causes other problems.

What about raising rates for thousands of minimum wage employees who may have to pay $121 (or work 12-plus hours each month) to park reasonably close to their jobs? Walker’s proposal noted that the most expensive parking is in more remote parking garages under the new library and at the Civic Center. In fact, Library parking is so “overpriced,” few park there. Council members liked the idea of lowering monthly rates in outlying garages for employees to open more spots in promenade-adjacent garages for the public. So do I. Councilman Kevin McKeown said, “I don’t think we are imposing a tremendous hardship on employees as long as we provide some place where it’s reasonable for them to park. We’re really going to be helping places where they work to have more customers come in because traffic won’t be so congested ... Underpricing parking is subsidizing driving and thus increasing traffic.

It appears that’s what we’ve been doing to ourselves Downtown."

But, McKeown and his colleagues are assuming Downtown parking is “underpriced.” My Aug. 8 column compared parking costs in nearby malls and shopping districts (not just the priciest locations that Walker cited) and found Santa Monica is actually “about the middle” and definitely not “underpriced” or “inexpensive” compared to many competing destinations. Also, assumptions that “underpriced” parking encourages more people to drive and increases traffic may not be completely accurate, but overpriced parking will definitely reduce Downtown traffic as visitors will go elsewhere.

Downtown is the financial engine that drives the city, so what happens if more of us go to Century City, Marina del Rey, Westside Pavilion and beyond? Then, how will local businesses and their employees do financially? And, city revenues? Forget sustainability.

Driving will actually increase as people head for more competitive venues away from Downtown.

Some politicians need to get a clue.

Sexual trafficking in the U.S. JAYCEE LEE DUGARD’S CASE IS EVERY

parent’s nightmare, a troubling reminder that the evils of this world are not confined to dark alleys in big cities. Behind suburbia’s illusion of safety lurks an often seedy and troubled reality. It is a world of sexual trafficking, where children are sold as sexual commodities.

Eleven-year-old Jaycee was hurrying to catch a school bus when she was snatched off the street by convicted rapist Phillip Garrido. For the next 18 years, Jaycee was held captive in Garrido’s backyard in a nondescript neighborhood in Antioch, Calif. He allegedly fathered her two children.

But this type of tortured reality doesn’t stop with Jaycee Lee Dugard. For example, Debbie, a straight-A student who belonged to a close-knit Air Force family living in Phoenix, Ariz., was 15 when she was snatched from her driveway by an acquaintance-friend. Forced into a car, Debbie was bound and taken to an unknown location, held at gunpoint and raped by multiple men. She was then crammed into a small dog kennel and forced to eat dog biscuits.

Debbie’s captors advertised her services on Craigslist. Those who responded were often married with children, and the money that Debbie “earned” for sex was given to her kidnappers. The gang raping continued. After searching the apartment where Debbie was held captive, police finally found Debbie stuffed in a drawer under a bed. Her harrowing ordeal lasted for 40 days. Three of her four captors have now been caught and charged (one awaits extradition).

These young women somehow managed to escape the underground world of sexual slavery and trafficking in the United States.

Others, however, are not so fortunate.

According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), approximately 797,500 children go missing every year. That works out to roughly 2,185 children a day. Many of these young people never find their way home again. Too many become victims of sexual trafficking and prostitution.

A 2009 report by Shared Hope International indicates that more than 100,000 children under the age of 18 are currently being trafficked in the United States.

Equally disturbing, the United States Department of Justice reports that approximately “293,000 American youth are at risk of becoming victims of commercial sexual exploitation.”

This scourge affects more than just runaways, children from broken homes and those forced out onto the streets. As Debbie’s case illustrated, even the most well-cared-for

children can fall prey to sex trafficking and become global sexual commodities, a source of disposable income for the men and women who profit from their exploitation.

Incredibly, the average age of girls forced into prostitution and the sex trade is between 12 and 14.

Numerous efforts have been made to combat this growing problem. In 2003, the FBI and Department of Justice’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section joined with NCMEC to launch “Operation Innocence Lost.” At the time of its creation, 14 field offices in high-volume trafficking areas were opened, specialized training courses were offered, and over 350 agents were trained. As of October 2008, Operation Innocence Lost had grown to 28 task forces and working groups, recovered 577 children, seized over $3 million in assets, and achieved 365 convictions.

One of Operation Innocence’s success stories involved cracking a large sex trafficking operation in Houston, Texas. In late August 2009, five men and one woman were indicted on 16 counts of conspiracy and sex trafficking of children, as well as forcing and coercing adults to engage in commercial sex acts. Girls as young as 16 were held against their will, prostituted and beaten. The captors operated behind various business façades, including modeling studios, health spas, massage parlors and bikini bars, and promoted the girls’ services through sexually-oriented Web sites and print publications.

Unfortunately, while Operation Innocence Lost has experienced some success, the sex trafficking industry continues to flourish and does so under the auspices of legitimate businesses and through Internet advertisements.

There are things that can and should be done to put an end to this atrocious and perverted business. One way is to introduce much harsher punishments for the clients of these services. For example, in 2008, the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act was enacted. It imposes harsher criminal penalties for traffickers and provides increased resources for victims in the United States.

The only way to truly combat sex trafficking is to expose its seedy underbelly, harshly punish perpetrators and bring justice to the victims.

Less cash, less workers Dear EarthTalk Is it true that environmental non-profits have been hit hard by the economic downturn, and has this had an impact on their effectiveness?

Bridget W. Bainbridge Island, Wash.

NON-PROFITS OF EVERY STRIPE HAVE

been suffering from the economic downturn. In a recent survey of 800 U.S.-based non-profits, 75 percent reported feeling the effects of the downturn, with more than half already experiencing significant cuts in funding from both government and private foundation sources.

According to a recently released report from Civic Enterprises and the Democratic Leadership Council entitled “Quiet Crisis: The Impact of the Economic Downturn on the Nonprofit Sector,” few of these groups have strong reserves to weather the downturn — more than half have less than three months of operating funds on hand, while three-quarters cannot make it six months on existing cash reserves.

And the outlook is not promising. The Chronicle of Philanthropy, which reports on trends in grantmaking, says that foundation assets have declined by some 28 percent following the economy’s nosedive; two-thirds of them expect to have reduced grants significantly by the end of 2009. Many grantmakers have, in fact, suspended grants altogether for the time being.

Despite their funding troubles, many environmental groups continue to provide core services. According to the Environmental Grantmakers Association (EGA), many cash-strapped groups are adapting by using more volunteers to get their work done, and actively seeking partnerships with other groups in order to make

the most of limited resources and share overhead costs. And, of course, many green groups have cut costs through hiring freezes, layoffs and forced reductions in pay and hours for existing employees.

To Mark Tercek, president of the nonprofit Nature Conservancy, the silver lining in the funding crisis for green groups is that it forces them to operate more efficiently and focus on core priorities: “Non-profits…have to be smart about adjusting to a tougher economic environment, including setting priorities,” he says. “If resources are going to be constrained…then organizations have to ask the questions: ‘What are we really best at?

What are we uniquely positioned to do?’”

Tercek adds that the recession also provides an “opportunity to connect the economic stimulus to environmental matters.”

And that’s just what the Obama administration hopes to do. By encouraging development of green technologies and services, the federal government aims to leverage environmental progress for an overall economic benefit. Most federal funding will go toward incentives for businesses and homeowners to adopt greener ways, but green groups with related expertise are in a good position to benefit as well.

Another boost for green groups could come if Congress passes the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, which aims to flood non-profits with some 250,000 volunteers each year in a program akin to the Peace Corps but on the domestic front. Nonprofits are also seeking changes to the federal tax code to further encourage corporate, foundation and individual donations.

Plan to dump California trash draws fire in Nevada THE ASSOCIATED PRESS RENO, Nev. A plan from a waste management firm to dump millions of tons of California trash in a proposed landfill near Winnemucca is drawing protests from Nevada residents.

Recology wants to send 20,000-ton shipments of Bay Area waste each week to the Humboldt County landfill about 28 miles west of Winnemucca. The garbage would include household trash, asbestos, rubber tires and dried sewage sludge.

Estimates place the total annual volume of trash at about 1 million tons each year for 95 years. That could generate about $1 million annually in “host fees” for the county.

Eventually the landfill’s mountain of trash would grow to about 20 stories.

Opponents of the plan say the trash would trash the desert and create an environmental nightmare of water pollution and foul smells.

“Shipping 4,000 tons a day of California’s trash to Humboldt County for 95 years is ludicrous,” said Humboldt County Commissioner Tom Fransway, the only member of five commissioners to publicly oppose the plan. “This is my home. I don’t want to see California’s garbage come here.

It would be degrading to our community and to the state of Nevada.”

Some residents support the proposal because it provides a guaranteed future revenue stream for the county.

The county has already given Recology the OK to seek the state permits to complete

the project. The company needs air, water and waste permits to satisfy environmental regulations.

The project has been public for two years, but Recology does not yet have contracts in place to ship waste, company spokesman Adam Alberti said. The firm, he said, is preparing for the future as existing California landfills fill up and space for new dumps becomes hard to find.

The Winnemucca landfill would be double-lined to insure waste material would not pollute ground water.

But Jim French, of Nevadans Against Garbage, said neither the firm nor state regulators have offered any specifics that would show the plan is safe.

“From a regulatory perspective, I’ve never seen anything that has flown under the radar as this project has done,” said French, a biologist and Winnemucca resident who worked for the Nevada Department of Wildlife. “As far as I can tell, no one has looked into the impacts of this or seen specific engineering plans or any of the things you would see if you proposed a mine or a gravel pit or even a septic tank on private land.”

Last week, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., urged Gov. Jim Gibbons to direct state agencies to block what he called “this threat Nevada’s sovereignty and dignity.”

Gibbons told the Reno Gazette-Journal last week that the interstate transportation of trash is a federal matter and that Reid should talk to Democrats in Congress about regulating it.

Washington lets fishermen sell salmon-eating squid THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PORT ANGELES, Wash. Large Humboldt squid have shown up in the Strait of Juan de Fuca where commercial fishermen say they are stealing their catches. Now, the state Department of Fish and Wildlife is giving the fishermen some revenge by allowing them to sell squid they accidentally catch as they troll for salmon.

Until recently, the squid, which can grow to 6 feet long and weigh more than 100 pounds, were found in the Pacific from the southern tip of South America to the California coast. Researchers suspect warmer ocean temperatures are allowing the voracious squid to range as far north as British Columbia and parts of Alaska.

Greg Bargmann, Fish and Wildlife marine ecosystem manager, said the state decided last week that commercial fishermen could sell squid they inadvertently catch.

“This has never been done before,” he told the Peninsula Daily News. “We had to dig out the regulations. We didn’t know if a provision existed.”

It’s good news to fisherman Gary Willmett of Neah Bay, who said he has between 1,000 and 2,000 pounds of squid he accidentally caught while fishing for salmon on his boat, White Eagle.

He said the big squid are a threat to fish stocks and his livelihood, nabbing salmon

right off his hooks while he trolls the strait that separates Washington from Canada’s Vancouver Island.

In four days of fishing earlier this month, Willmett said he caught two king salmon, 42 silver salmon — and 30 squid. Normally, he would have caught up to 100 salmon.

Kent Baltz, a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration oceanographer in Santa Cruz, Calif., said two NOAA researchers from his office will be in Westport, Wash., this week to study the squid, tagging them with electronic monitors to follow their movements.

Baltz said a “strong hypothesis” for why the squid have moved north is that the ocean water is warmer than usual.

Because of an El Nino weather pattern, the ocean off Washington is between 1 and 2 degrees above normal, said National Weather Service meteorologist Jay Albrecht, though he noted the waters off Neah Bay at the tip of the Olympic Peninsula have been average this summer at around 55 degrees.

Although Humboldt squid showed up off the Washington coast briefly in the 1930s, they disappeared until 2004, when large numbers were reported seasonally here and in Alaska and British Columbia waters. This year, fishermen are reporting the largest numbers yet.

There are no official estimates of how many squid are here, but Willmett said there are too many to avoid.

Germany ponders Afghanistan exit strategy amid pressure GEIR MOULSON Associated Press Writer

BERLIN Germany’s foreign minister on Sunday advocated laying the foundations by 2013 for an eventual withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Chancellor Angela Merkel, who he is challenging in elections later this month, said it makes sense to exert pressure on Kabul to ensure progress. The country’s unpopular mission in Afghanistan, where it has more than 4,200 troops, has been put in the spotlight by a German-ordered airstrike near Kunduz in which civilians appear to have died.

Merkel last week joined the French and British leaders in calling for a new international conference on Afghanistan to be held this year, hoping to accelerate and improve training of local forces and lay out a timetable in which Afghans can take back full control.

On Sunday, the weekly Der Spiegel reported that a paper drawn up for Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier says the conference should “not satisfy itself with vague targets” and that foundations for a withdrawal should be laid in Germany’s next four-year parliamentary term.

Steinmeier, asked about that Sunday in a television debate with Merkel, stressed that he didn’t envision 2013 as a withdrawal date.

He did not specify one.

“We want to create the conditions ... by 2013 so that the withdrawal can begin,” he said. “I can’t say now ... let’s get out without using our heads. ...

“Getting out now would mean women going back into the cellar, girls no longer going to school, farmers growing drugs again and plenty more,” he added.

Germany should discuss with Afghanistan’s newly elected president what his priorities are and “agree on a clear timetable on how long we need to be there,” Steinmeier said. “Our purpose is to make ourselves superfluous in Afghanistan.”

Merkel said that training of Afghan police and soldiers must proceed “as quickly as possible.

“What has been done now is that certain elements that fit into the overall framework of a responsible handover strategy have been defined by the Foreign Ministry,” she said.

“That Germany goes in with certain ideas and says, we can do this and this by 2013, we can do this and this by 2014 is sensible,” Merkel said, adding that that must be discussed with the Afghan government and the international community.

“And then, yes, we exert a bit of pressure ... so that Afghanistan takes its fate in its own hands,” she said. “That is to some extent necessary.”

Merkel’s conservative bloc holds a double-digit lead in polls over Steinmeier’s center-left Social Democrats before the Sept. 27 election. Merkel wants to form a new centerright government, but may end up in another right-left “grand coalition” with Steinmeier.

Only one of the five parties in Germany’s parliament, the opposition Left Party, advocates withdrawing now from Afghanistan.

One of its leaders, Gregor Gysi, argued that the conflict there encourages terrorism.

“We don’t need campaign maneuvers, but a binding reconstruction plan and a withdrawal perspective that is initiated by 2013,” candidate Juergen Trittin said.

Germany isn’t the only country keen to find a way out of Afghanistan.

Policeman’s family killed as they slept at home in Iraq DAVID RISING Associated Press Writer

BAGHDAD Gunmen killed a Kurdish policeman’s wife and three young children with execution-style shots to the head Sunday as they slept in their home in the northern city of Kirkuk, where tension is building between Arabs and Kurds over land and oil.

Police Sgt. Omed Abdul-Hamid had already left for work when the gunmen burst into the house and shot the woman and children as they lay sleeping together on a mattress on the floor, police Brig. Gen. Sarhad Qadir said.

In vivid crime scene photos released by police, a 2-year-old boy could be seen lying on his back to the right of his mother with his head on a pillow, his face caked with blood where he had been shot. The boy’s two sisters, ages 6 and 9, lay to the left of their mother; all three were face down and shot in the back of the head.

At the house later in the day, AbdulHamid sat by his doorway weeping, unable to talk.

U.S. commanders have warned that insurgents are trying to exploit tension in Kirkuk and elsewhere in Iraq’s north between Arabs and Kurds. The potential for conflict between them over land and oil

poses a greater long-term threat to Iraq’s stability than the Sunni-Shiite conflict that nearly plunged the country into civil war in 2006 and 2007, U.S. and Iraqi officials say.

Though nobody claimed responsibility for the killing of Abdul-Hamid’s family, the police sergeant had recently been involved in raids on suspected insurgents’ homes, according to Qadir. Nothing had been stolen in the home, he said, also suggesting insurgents were behind the killings. Three gunmen are believed to have been involved, he added.

The oil-rich city of Kirkuk has been at the heart of the dispute between Arabs and Kurds.

Kurds want to incorporate the city, along with villages in the next-door province of Ninevah, into their semiautonomous region in northern Iraq, despite opposition from Arabs and the minority Turkomen ethnic group.

Abdul-Hamid is one of the tens of thousands of Kurds who were forced out of the area under Saddam Hussein’s massive resettlement effort to Arabize the region, Qadir said.

He, like thousands of others, returned after the U.S.-led invasion in 2003 toppled Saddam’s regime, and there is now an uneasy coexistence of about 850,000 Kurds.

RUNNING MAN: Leuzinger's Kennith Johnson (right) runs for a long gain against Santa Monica High School at Corsair Field on Friday night. Leuzinger spoiled Samohi's season debut, winning 1933. The loss drops Samohi to 0-1 on the young season. Leuzinger improved to 1-1.

Injured Samohi player undergoes surgery “I was shocked and pleased that the very 1st treatment reduced my size by 4 1/2 inches! I can’t wait to see the results at the end of my next 5 treatments!”

FROM SAMOHI PAGE 1 Leuzinger stretch the lead to 33-19 by the end of the game.

Unfortunately, the loss was not the worst thing to happen to Samohi on Friday.

Santa Monica junior outside linebacker Cody Williams was injured on a successful Leuzinger two-point conversion and left the game on a stretcher after a 30-minute delay with 6:26 remaining in the fourth quarter.

Upon his departure from the field, Williams was unable to move. Clark reported that Williams took a hit to the chest, but that he was fully conscious and able to recall the injury and the moments preceding.

“I don’t know how serious of a hit it was, he just hit him in the right spot,” Clark said

after the game. “I think the kids, that was on their mind after the injury. I think that kind of bothered them, and affected them a little bit. I try to keep them focused, but that also affected me.”

Santa Monica High School Principal Hugo A. Pedroza issued a statement on Saturday explaining that Williams suffered trauma to his spine and that he was operated on at the UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center. He will be receiving treatment for at least the next two weeks. A full prognosis of Williams’ injuries should be complete in six to 12 months, and for the time being his family is requesting that only immediate family be allowed to visit. news@smdp.com

President tries to sweeten deal FROM CARE PAGE 3 Finance Committee that is writing a version of the health care overhaul bill.

Instead of the government running a program that provides low-cost health insurance, Snowe and fellow negotiators are considering a not-for-profit cooperative system.

Those backing the measure contend it would substantially lower health insurance premiums by cutting out private-industry profits and guarantee coverage to all who want it.

Such systems exist in some areas of the country but their success has been spotty.

And Obama will have to be convinced that such a plan can succeed.

“I have no interest in having a bill get passed that fails. That doesn’t work,” Obama told CBS. “You know, I intend to be president for a while and once this bill passes, I own it.”

Obama wants to make sure that any overhaul imposes strict measures to ban companies from refusing insurance to people with existing medical conditions, dropping coverage when policyholders become ill and imposing caps on what a person can claim for one illness or in his lifetime.

He told CBS he didn’t want Americans to say in the future: “’You know what? This hasn’t reduced my costs. My premiums are still going up 25 percent, insurance companies are still jerking me around.’

“I’m the one who’s going to be held

responsible,” Obama said. “So I have every incentive to get this right.”

Obama is trying to sweeten the deal for Republicans by indicating he is open to their ideas.

In his Wednesday speech and again in the CBS interview, the president signaled he was open the idea of so-called tort reform.

Under current practice, doctors and hospitals must pay huge amounts to insure themselves against malpractice lawsuits by patients seeking large court-ordered settlements for poor treatment.

Democrats, thanks to heavy backing from lawyers, have not supported Republican efforts to limit such payments. Doctors — and Republican politicians — say the current system drives up costs through unneeded medical procedures ordered by physicians who fear being sued.

“I would be willing to ... consider any ideas out there that would actually work in terms of reducing costs, improving the quality of patient care,” Obama said in the Sunday interview, which was taped Friday.

While he said he did not back limits on court-ordered rewards for malpractice, he said “there are a range of ideas that are out there, offered by doctors’ organizations like the AMA (American Medical Association), that I think we can explore.”

Gibbs spoke on CNN’s “State of the Union.” Snowe appeared on CBS’ “Face the Nation."

SMPD officer returns from tour of duty in Iraq FROM CP PAGE 1 officer.

With about a month of active duty and several weeks of vacation remaining before his return, D’Andrea said he is ready to come back to the department and patrol the streets of Santa Monica again.

“I’m ready to be a Joe again,” he said.

The native of Clifton, N.J. went straight to the military after graduating from high school as a means to finance his college education.

“I liked the structure and I loved the challenge and that fresh start,” D’Andrea said.

He ended up in San Diego, attending the Police Academy and beginning his law enforcement career with the San Diego County Sheriff ’s Department as a reserve deputy, all while remaining on active duty.

“I did it to be a part of the community,” he said of police work.

After finishing two years at La Mesa College, D’Andrea enrolled at San Diego State University where he graduated in 2002 with a degree in linguistics.

A year later, he joined the Santa Monica Police Department, the same time he became the platoon leader for the Alpha Company of the 1st Battalion of the 184th Infantry Regiment.

When the call came to deploy to Iraq in 2004, D’Andrea said he felt both nervous and excited to be leading soldiers into combat. His mother’s reaction though was less enthusiastic.

“My mother hung up on me, and then she called me back,” he said with a smile.

What started out as an uneventful tour of duty ended up deadly for his battalion in which 19 soldiers were killed and four received Purple Hearts.

“There wasn’t much action [in the beginning],” he said. “It was kind of quiet with a little here and there and as spring started, it picked up every single day.”

Under fire, D’Andrea stayed calm, only to have a strange reaction — laughter — after the adrenaline was gone. In the days following each battle, he would find his moment with peace and with God. He returned home after 19 months. It took a year to find normalcy.

“You don’ realize how much stuff changes over a year, especially a year and a half,” he said. “When you come back, you see how much the clothing style has changed, nothing is the same on the radio, the prices have gone up.”

Though the war dominated headlines when he left, it didn’t seem such a big deal

after his return.

“It was really weird to turn on the History Channel to see things I was involved in,” he recalled. “That was a little surreal.”

D’Andrea went back to life as usual, working for the department and spending time with family and friends. But by the summer of 2008, he was called back for duty.

“I was not pleased,” he said. “I didn’t want to deploy again, but I was not going to dodge my deployment.”

The second tour was different for D’Andrea, who spent less time in the trenches and more commanding his troop. He didn’t lose a single soldier during the year in Iraq.

“I knew what it was like to be a commander on the ground and I was able to make better decisions,” he said.

He can speak with relative ease when it concerns the two deployments, but there’s a moment in the past five years that still brings tears.

It happened during a two-week break in D’Andrea’s first tour in May 2005. He was standing outside LAX waiting for his ride to arrive when he began chatting with an officer from the Los Angeles Police Department.

D’Andrea told the officer that he too works in law enforcement, for the Santa Monica Police Department. The LAPD officer’s face turned pale.

“Are you here for the major who was killed from your department?” she asked.

She was referring to SMPD Officer Ricardo Crocker, who died on May 26, 2005 in the Al-Anbar Province of Iraq.

“The war didn’t stop,” D’Andrea said.

“Even when I had my two week break, it was still going.

“I thought I would have my two weeks of peace and go back to it and it was still right here.”

More than 16 years after he joined the military, D’Andrea said he has no regrets.

“It’s a big part of who I am,” he said. melodyh@smdp.com

Galveston marks anniversary of Hurricane Ike with pain JUAN A. LOZANO Associated Press Writer

GALVESTON, Texas Mymi Freedman’s memories of Hurricane Ike’s immediate aftermath still linger, especially in one sense.

“The smell — everything was rotten,” she said Sunday, sitting in her garage with her husband Sergio and reflecting on the year that has passed since Ike damaged thousands of homes, including her own, on the Texas island city of Galveston.

Residents like Mymi Freedman, 58, remembered Ike’s destruction but also celebrated rebuilding efforts, saying the storm has brought people closer since it made landfall just outside Galveston in the early morning hours of Sept. 13, 2008.

Sergio Freedman, 62, said he is amazed at Galveston’s progress, describing the city as a “war zone” right after the hurricane.

A year ago, entry into the city was hazardous; the only road onto the island was littered with boats tossed onto the pavement like toys by Ike’s powerful storm surge.

Many neighborhoods were inundated with murky, muddy water sometimes contaminated by sewage and chemicals.

Galveston’s Seawall Boulevard was covered in rocks, splintered wood and other debris.

The hurricane damaged 75 percent of the working-class city’s houses. Galveston suffered more than $3.2 billion in damage. The city’s largest employer, the University of Texas Medical Branch, temporarily shut down and had to lay off about 3,000 employees.

Ike also destroyed or damaged thousands of other homes from the southeast Texas Gulf Coast into Houston, 50 miles inland. It also submerged farmland and ranches in saltwater, scoured away beaches and ruined thousands of acres of vegetation.

It was the costliest natural disaster in Texas history. Its powerful surge reached as high as 20 feet and its 110 mph winds caused more than $29 billion in damage. Ike was

blamed for at least 72 deaths in the U.S., including 37 in Texas.

But on Sunday in Galveston, the scene was vastly different. The streets were filled with traffic, replenished beaches played host to tourists and residents, and many flooded homes — including the Freedmans’ — had been repaired.

“You can see behind me ... a new day has dawned on our community,” the Rev. David Green of First Presbyterian Church said in a sun-filled ballroom at the Hotel Galvez during a sunrise service. About 100 people gathered for the service near the beach.

The service was part of nearly a week of events highlighting rebuilding and recovery efforts.

Galveston officials say 75 percent of businesses are open and tourists have returned.

But residents say the city still has a long way to go. About 3,000 of the city’s 58,000 residents have not returned. Mobile homes from the Federal Emergency Management Agency still dot driveways and front lawns.

Along the Freedmans’ street, sheetrock and other debris are piled in front of homes still under repair.

“The community is still hurting,” said Elizabeth Godbehere, 59, who was born on the island.

Galveston is not alone as other southeast Texas communities also recover from Ike. In tiny Oak Island to the northeast in Chambers County, Trang Minh Ngo, 43, says it took him more than a decade to build up a life with a three-bedroom home and two fishing boats. Ike destroyed his home and one of his boats.

Community and religious organizations have helped Ngo and others who have limited resources, paying for utilities, home repairs, food and job training.

In Galveston, the Rev. Helen Appelberg of St. Augustine of Hippo Episcopal Church urged residents during Sunday’s sunrise service to hold onto hope.

“Let the hope ... grow into the flower of new life in every corner of this city,” she said.

Risk-taking is back for banks a year after crisis STEVENSON JACOBS AP Business Writer

NEW YORK A year after the financial system nearly collapsed, the nation’s biggest banks are bigger and regaining their appetite for risk.

Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and others — which have received tens of billions of dollars in federal aid — are once more betting big on bonds, commodities and exotic financial products, trading that nearly stopped during the financial crisis.

That Wall Street is making money again in essentially the same ways that thrust the banking system into chaos last fall is reason for concern on several levels, financial analysts and government officials say.

There have been no significant changes to the federal rules governing their behavior.

Proposals that have been made to better monitor the financial system and to police the products banks sell to consumers have been held up by lobbyists, lawmakers and turf-protecting regulators.

Through mergers and the failure of Lehman Brothers, the mammoth banks whose near-collapse prompted government rescues have gotten even bigger, increasing the risk they pose to the financial system.

And they still make bets that, in the aggregate, are worth far more than the capital they have on hand to cover against potential losses.

The government’s response to last year’s meltdown was to spend whatever it takes to protect the financial system from collapse — a precedent that could encourage even greater risk-taking from the private sector.

Lawrence Summers, director of the White House National Economic Council, says an

overhaul of financial regulations is needed as soon as possible to keep the financial system safe over the long haul.

“You cannot rely on the scars of past crises to ensure against practices that will lead to future crises,” Summers says.

No one is predicting another meltdown from risky trading in the near term. Rather, the concern is what happens over time as banks’ confidence grows and the memory of the financial crisis of 2008 fades.

Will they pile on bets to the point that a new asset bubble forms and — as happened with mortgage-backed securities — its undoing endangers banks and the broader economy?

“We’re seeing the same kind of behavior from the banks, and that could lead to some huge and scary parallels,” says Simon Johnson, former chief economist with the International Monetary Fund.

Some risk-taking is good. When banks are willing to invest in companies or lend to home-buyers, that nurtures economic growth by generating employment and consumer spending, feeding a cycle of expansion.

The problem is when banks’ quest for profits leads them to take on too much risk.

In the case of the housing bubble, which burst last year, banks lent too freely to consumers with weak credit and wagered too much on complex financial instruments tied to mortgages. As real-estate prices turned south, so did the financial industry’s health.

Because the largest banks’ trading divisions make their bets with each other, their fortunes are intertwined. The collapse of one can threaten another — and another — if it is unable to pay off its debts.

This so-called counterparty risk is a major reason the Obama administration’s regulatory overhaul plan calls for the creation of a “systemic risk regulator.”

The administration is also seeking tougher capital requirements for banks, arguing that banks’ buying of exotic financial products without keeping enough cash on reserve was a key cause of the crisis.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has urged the Group of 20 nations — which meets this month in Pittsburgh — to agree on new capital levels by the end of 2010 and put them in place two years later. Geithner hasn’t said how much extra capital banks should be required to keep on hand.

Data from the April-June quarter show that the banks are leaning heavily again on their trading desks for revenue.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, when the financial crisis made even the shrewdest bankers risk-averse, Goldman’s trading of risky assets nearly stopped. But in the second quarter of 2009, trading revenue had climbed to nearly 50 percent of total revenue, closer to where it was two years ago before the recession began. JP Morgan’s reliance on trading revenue has exhibited a similar pattern.

Also in the second quarter, the five biggest banks’ average potential losses from a single day of trading topped $1 billion, up 76 percent from two years ago, according to regulatory filings.

The government hasn’t just watched banks resume their freewheeling ways and prosper. It has been an enabler in the process. The Federal Reserve, the Treasury Department and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. — during both the Bush and Obama administrations — have made

trillions of dollars available to the biggest banks through bailouts, low-cost loans and loss guarantees designed to stabilize the financial system.

The failure of Lehman Brothers — the biggest bankruptcy in U.S. history — and the panicky sales of Bear Stearns to JPMorgan and Merrill Lynch to Bank of America, also have transformed Wall Street.

The surviving investment banks have fewer competitors and more market share.

Five of the biggest banks — Goldman, JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, Citigroup and Bank of America — posted second-quarter profits totaling $13 billion. That’s more than double what they made in the second quarter of 2008 and nearly two-thirds as much as the $20.7 billion they earned in the second quarter of 2007 — when the economy was strong.

Meanwhile, Bank of America and Wells Fargo today originate 41 percent of all home loans that are backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, according to Inside Mortgage Finance. The banks made $284 billion in such loans in the first half of this year, up from $124 billion during the same period last year.

“The big banks now are more powerful than before,” said Johnson, now a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Sloan School of Management.

“Their market share has grown and they have a lot of clout in Washington.”

Wall Street’s recovery is also being aided by a stock-market rally that has driven the S&P 500 index up nearly 54 percent since March 9, when it hit a 12-year low.

Despite the return to profitability, these aren’t the high-octane days from before the crisis.

SANTA MONICA

last under the bright lights of prime-time football, they were on the losing end of a 347 score to the San Diego Chargers.

That was the latest flop on the big stage for the Raiders, just adding to their national reputation as the league’s laughingstock.

That sorry performance led Pro Bowl cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha to lament that games like that were the reason Oakland got so few opportunities to play in front of a national audience.

The Raiders get another opportunity Monday night when they open the season against their biggest nemesis in the final game of the NFL’s kickoff weekend.

“We’ve got another chance,” Asomugha said. “Redemption. I don’t know how you would coin it, but I figured this is our second chance to make it right. Hopefully we can get it right this time. That’s the first thing I thought when I saw it. I said it’s national TV. We have to play.”

The Raiders have been unable to do that recently. They are an NFL-worst 24-72 the past six seasons, the only team in league history to lose at least 11 games for six straight years. Things have been especially ugly on the national stage, which is particularly galling for a franchise once known for its Monday night success.

The Raiders once won 14 straight Monday night games back when the series was at the height of its popularity starting in the mid-1970s. But Oakland has lost its last 10 appearances in prime time, dating to the start of the 2005 season, being outscored 151-33 over the last six games.

“It’s a chance for us to come out and put out who we are for the first time here in 2009 and show how far we’ve come,” coach Tom Cable said. “Everybody gets to see who we are, and I think it’s exciting that way. But I

wouldn’t say it’s pressure. I think it’s time.”

Three of the prime-time losses during this skid have come against the Chargers, including a 27-0 debacle to open the 2006 season. Those games are a part of San Diego’s own 11-game winning streak against the Raiders.

That 2006 opener was emblematic of that entire season, with Oakland’s inept offense unable to function and San Diego rolling to a 14-2 regular season. The Chargers know that will have little impact Monday.

“Each game stands on its own,” quarterback Philip Rivers said. “We’ve had a good streak going, but each game is new. Each year is new. We’re all 0-0 going into this season. Monday night, you really couldn’t ask for a better setting starting in the division against Oakland.”

Rivers made his first career start at quarterback for the Chargers in the 2006 opener and was asked to do little. He threw only 11 passes, completing eight for 108 yards and a touchdown.

The Chargers are counting much more on Rivers heading into this season. He has surpassed LaDainian Tomlinson as the engine that makes the offense move. Rivers was tied for the NFL lead with 34 touchdown passes last season, earning him a $93 million, sixyear contract last month that includes $38 million in guaranteed money, and a mention as one of the league’s elite passers.

“I really think he took off midway through the year two years ago and has played at an extremely high level,” coach Norv Turner said. “I don’t know if you start comparing people, but I certainly compare production, and he’s had production.”

Rivers will be going against a defense that got a late boost with the arrival of five-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Richard Seymour on Saturday. Oakland acquired Seymour last Sunday from New England, but when he didn’t immediately report to his new team there were questions all week about whether he would play Monday.

NCAA FOOTBALL

UCLA’s Prince breaks jaw THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES UCLA quarterback Kevin Prince will be out three to four weeks after his jaw was broken late in the Bruins’ victory at Tennessee.

Prince is a freshman who has led the Bruins (2-0) to season-opening victories over San Diego State and the Volunteers. He was 11 for 23 for 101 yards with one touchdown pass and no interceptions in UCLA’s 19-15 win Saturday.

Prince was hurt when Dennis Rogan sacked him for a safety with 1:41 to play, shortly after UCLA’s defense stopped Tennessee at the 1. The tackle left him with a bloody mouth, but Prince returned to kneel on the ball for the final two snaps to secure the win.

X-rays in Los Angeles on Sunday con-

firmed Prince’s injury. His jaw will be wired shut while it heals.

“This is a tough blow for Kevin and our football team,” UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel said in a statement. “We hope Kevin recovers quickly, but we have other talented quarterbacks in our program.”

UCLA plays Kansas State this Saturday.

Neuheisel didn’t immediately say who would replace Prince, but he has two prime candidates.

Kevin Craft, the Bruins’ starter last season, lost his job to Prince this year, while freshman Richard Brehaut enrolled at UCLA last spring to get a jump on learning the job.

Brehaut played in the Bruins’ win over San Diego State, completing both of his passes for 39 yards.

Prince is 29 of 52 for 277 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions this year.

SOLUTIONS TO YESTERDAY’S PUZZLE

CHUCK

SHEPARD

■ Juvenile disruptions by "Girls Gone Wild" video producer Joe Francis in two recent federal lawsuit depositions have apparently backfired on him. Under questioning by plaintiffs' lawyers, Francis had persistently and solemnly claimed not to understand common words and, during one session, repeatedly passed gas. At another deposition, he appeared indignant when asked if he had paid two teenage girls to fondle him ("disgusting allegations (against) a man of my integrity").

One judge summarily ruled against him on a $3 million Las Vegas gambling debt, and the other judge was considering a similar course in a class-action lawsuit by some of Francis' allegedly underage "models."

■ With no help from Verizon Wireless, law enforcement agencies managed to hunt down a disturbed, 62-year-old man sought in an 11-hour manhunt following a domestic violence call in Carrollton, Ohio, in May. Deputies had wanted to use the man's cell phone signal to locate him, but the company had shut off his service over an unpaid $20 bill and refused to turn it on, even for a few minutes, unless deputies paid the $20. The sheriff was reluctantly about to pay when deputies found the man.
