CEPS make school board, council picks

laugher at Valencia.

With the loss, Samohi drops to 2-2.

Valencia, ranked No. 2 in the California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section Northeast Division poll, improved to 4-0.

The culprit behind this year’s loss, Clark said: “Turnovers.” Sophomore quarterback Rhys Gervais, starting his first game as a Viking, threw four interceptions and committed a fumble in the loss, but it was his resiliency when faced with adversity that Clark latched on to.

"You can't win if you have that many turnovers," Clark said. “But, we gained a

education advocacy group Community for Excellent Public Schools had a hard time deciding whom to back for the City Council.

So instead of limiting their endorsements to five candidates for the five open seats, the group went ahead and threw in an extra candidate for good measure.

Following its candidate forum last week, CEPS’ steering committee announced it would endorse incumbents Bob Holbrook, Pam O’Connor and Kevin McKeown as well as challenger Ted Winterer for three available four-year terms. The group backed Gleam Davis and Terry O’Day for two-year terms.

CEPS also stuck with primarily known quantities for the school board race, supporting incumbents Barry Snell, Oscar de la Torre and Ralph Mechur, as well as challenger Laurie Lieberman for the four available slots.

Explaining the 19-member steering committee’s decision to back more candidates than there are open seats on the council, CEPS President Rebecca Kennerly said: “They’re all great supporters of our schools.”

Founded to work for the betterment of the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District, the fact the group weighed in on the City Council election is a reminder of how significant a roll City Hall may play in the district’s financial future.

An initiative on the November ballot, Measure Y, would boost the city-wide sales tax by a half percent. An accompanying advisory, Measure YY, asks voters whether half the estimated $12 million the tax hike would raise should go toward public education programs, though council members will have the final say.

In a press release, CEPS said all of its approved candidates voiced strong commitment to both ballot items.

“All CEPS-endorsed City Council candidates stated, unequivocally, at the forum that should

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

Santa Monica loses home opener, 63-28 St. Monica romps over Blair, 42-0

BY DANIEL ARCHULETA Managing Editor

St. Monica’s football team routed Blair, 42-0, in Pasadena on Saturday. St. Monica improves to 3-2 on the season, matching its win total from a year ago.

Senior quarterback Matthew Partyka was 12 of 15 for 281 yards. He also threw five touchdowns. Wide receiver Kyle Farber, who returned from injury, caught two scores. Sam Holguin also caught a pair of touchdowns.

SMC According to the scoreboard, Santa Monica High School football suffered a 63-28 loss at the hands of highly-ranked Valencia on Friday at Corsair Field.

But, despite the lopsided loss in the team’s home opener, Travis Clark, Samohi’s second-year head coach, sees a silver lining. It was the second season in a row that the two teams faced each other, but this year’s results weren’t as onesided. While a loss is a loss, Clark said he sees improvement in his Vikings, who closed the gap a bit from last year’s 63-7

Brandon Wise brandonw@smdp.com Owner Greg Hammond watches as Reverend Camille Mattick (right) prays over Lumber, the yellow lab, during the fourth annual Blessing of the Animals at the First United Methodist Church of Santa Monica on 11th Street on Saturday morning.

LOS ANGELES Ashley Wilson’s mission to drive to a park above Beverly Hills and hike every morning for a week came with a cost that eclipses the burg’s famously pricey lifestyle.

After assuming that only wild creatures would witness her car roll through a remote stop sign, Wilson was stunned weeks later to get four tickets in the mail totaling $700. A hidden camera had captured her infractions on video.

“I was totally shocked,” Wilson said. “I knew there were signs there. I didn’t think they’d be that strict and be that expensive.”

The stop-sign camera is one of seven scattered in parks along the Santa Monica Mountains that have surprised Southern California road warriors used to seeing red-light cameras and speed traps on their daily drives.

During an 18-month period ending May 31, nearly 35,000 citations have been issued and the parks have collected nearly $2 million.

But the nation’s first stop-sign cameras, introduced in 2007, have angered critics who think they’re another aggressive government tactic to squeeze money out of motorists.

“Enforcement of something so small to add to the revenue stream strikes me as very wrong,” said Eli Sanchez, who was nabbed twice for breezing past a stop sign at the entrance to a park overlooking the San Fernando Valley.

Malibu’s Legacy Park provides green space, water treatment THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MALIBU Malibu’s new 15-acre central park opening Saturday is more than just a treeladen green space featuring public art and winding pathways through rolling hills. It’s also an “environmental cleaning machine,” capable of treating about two million gallons of stormwater runoff every day.

Buried under the $50-million Malibu Legacy Park is a system of pipes and filters that will remove trash, bacteria and metals from runoff water that has long contaminated Malibu Creek, Malibu Lagoon and Surfrider Beach, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Protect the motorists Editor:

So, Santa Monica ranks among the worst when it comes to the number of bike accidents (”Bike accidents on the rise in SM,” Sept. 29, page 1), and the bicycle enthusiasts and advocates reacted “in surprise and dismay.” Really! On what planet do these people live?

When I was driving just a few blocks in Santa Monica last week, I saw four cyclists sail through a stop sign with their hands in the air — another ran right through a red light. Another group was riding two abreast on a side street making it impossible to safely pass them and just forget about the times I have almost been hit by a cyclist tearing down the sidewalk.

How will Santa Monica deal with the massive influx of bicycles proposed in the LUCE plan when it cannot even cope with the problem now?

[City Councilman] Richard Bloom wants to protect bicyclists from motorists. Mr. Bloom has it backwards.

How do we protect the motorists from the bicycles.

Why vote for Y and YY? MEASURE Y IS A BALLOT MEASURE THAT

will permanently raise the current 9 3/4 percent sales tax on taxable items purchased, delivered or registered in Santa Monica onehalf percent to 10 1/4 percent.

If approved by a majority (50 percent plus one) of voters, it would supposedly raise about $12 million in added annual revenue for City Hall.

Proponents say the increase, referred to as a “transaction and use tax,” is needed “to avoid cuts in public safety and to maintain police, fire, paramedic and emergency 911 response, public transit, services for the disabled, gang and drug prevention programs, environmental, library and other general fund services.”

Suggestions that City Hall is in dire need of money and may have to slash essential services including police and fire is absolute rubbish. A city with well over a half-billion dollar budget can surely trim one or twopercent without harming essential services.

The truth is City Hall has a long list of discretionary spending items that can be shortened or eliminated, but why bother when you can get us “rubes” to pay higher taxes?

City-Data.com lists Santa Monica’s population at 84,848 with 1,873 full-time and 404 part-time employees or 37 residents for each city employee as of March, 2007 — the latest year City-Data breakdowns were available. How do we compare with other California cities of a similar size and/or demographics?

Only Beverly Hills (33,784) had a higher resident to employee ratio at 36 compared to Santa Monica’s 37 in 2007. According to City Hall sources, In September, 2010, our estimated population was 87,800 and we have 2,009 total employees or 44 residents for each city employee.

Although comparing actual city budgets proved impossible, it would seem that City Hall is way overstaffed and spending much more money (per capita) than most other California municipalities. Much of it here is spent on expensive municipal subsidies, expanded social service programs, acquiring property and numerous other non-essential but politically correct schemes In order to make one of the highest sales taxes in the nation more palatable to voters, City Hall has calculatedly suggested it may “share the wealth” with “schools.” So, the politicians even created a non-legally binding, advisory ballot measure, YY, that reads “should half its (Y’s) revenue be used to support school, educational and after school programs if enacted?”

The problem is that neither Y or YY mentions public schools specifically such as those in the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District. But, that hasn’t stopped school cheerleaders from falsely hawking both measures as school life savers.

In other words, Y is yet another ploy to

get voters to approve another tax to supposedly fund public education under the guise of an impending (but phony) crisis in funding essential municipal services. How manipulative and dishonest!

Because of the deliberately vague wording, City Council could keep all the money or distribute unspecified proceeds to St. Monica and St. Anne Catholic schools, private schools and organizations with educational programs such as the YMCA, YWCA, Boys & Girls Clubs, Red Cross of Santa Monica, Heal the Bay and a whole raft of nonprofits with educational components.

Already, Santa Monica College’s Board of Trustees is lining up to “get some."

Don’t be fooled into voting for Y because you’ve been told it will solve our public schools’ financial crises. There’s no guarantee that’ll happen. And, even if Y passes, due to ongoing mismanagement and bad decision-making, future school deficits are anticipated. So, “they’ll be back.”

Two years ago, voters approved Measure SM which could expand the current 10 percent Utility Users Tax on phone, gas, electric and cable television to satellite TV and radio, music downloads, GPS, OnStar and a wide range of new technologies (when and if federally deregulated in 2014) at the whim of the City Council.

At the time, fear-mongering tax proponents told us if SM doesn’t prevail at the polls, educational and school programs, parks and recreation, police, fire and emergency services would suffer. It’s a semiannual, phony mantra promulgated by one of the wealthiest cities in the state.

If Measure Y passes, the added $12 million will generate about a two percent boost in city revenue. If City Hall keeps all or gives away half of Y’s expected revenue, neither amount is enough to remedy any alleged, serious, long-term, municipal deficits. That’s why Y and YY are all a scam and a fraud.

Times are tough. It’s unreasonable and selfish for those at City Hall and the constantly opportunistic school cheerleaders to think that they’re exempt from hard times and the rest of us aren’t, therefore we must pay.

We’ve all cut back to make ends meet. City Hall can and must do the same.

CONVENIENTLY LOCATED IN SANTA MONICA

Police: NYC mosque’s imam, wife receive death threats THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK The wife of an imam planning an Islamic community center and mosque near ground zero said Sunday that she and her husband have received death threats.

“For the record, my life is under threat,” Daisy Khan said during a town hall debate on Islam broadcast on ABC’s “This Week” news program.

Khan, who’s married to Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, said her husband’s life also is under threat but, “We do not walk around with bodyguards because we love this country.”

Chief police spokesman Paul Browne confirmed that Khan had told authorities about the telephone threats she’d received.

“There were telephone threats made,” Browne said, adding the police department was investigating.

Rauf would be a spiritual leader of a 16story Islamic center and mosque planned for lower Manhattan two blocks north of where Islamic extremists destroyed the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, and killed nearly 2,800 people.

FREE Breast Augmentation with “Mommy Makeover” purchase

But the center’s location has upset some relatives of Sept. 11 victims and stirred nationwide debate and angry demands that it be moved. Critics say the site of mass murder by Islamic extremists is no place for an Islamic institution, while supporters of the center say religious freedom should be protected.

The debate on “This Week” posed the question, “Should Americans fear Islam?”

Besides Khan, panelists included two relatives of Sept. 11 victims, former FBI agent Brad Garrett and the Rev. Franklin Graham, who heads the evangelical Christian organization founded by his father, Billy Graham.

Khan said that moderate Muslims like her must lead the fight against extremists in their religion.

“This is what we Muslims want to do, but you have tied our hands,” Khan said. “You don’t allow us to do this because you brand somebody like me as an extremist and throw me into the arms of al-Qaida.”

Developer Sharif El-Gamal last week released preliminary sketches of the planned Islamic center. He said groundbreaking is probably two to three years away.

Laptop computers could cause skin damage LINDSEY TANNER AP Medical Writer

CHICAGO Have you ever worked on your laptop computer with it sitting on your lap, heating up your legs? If so, you might want to rethink that habit.

Doing it a lot can lead to “toasted skin syndrome,” an unusual-looking mottled skin condition caused by long-term heat exposure, according to medical reports.

In one recent case, a 12-year-old boy developed a sponge-patterned skin discoloration on his left thigh after playing computer games a few hours every day for several months.

“He recognized that the laptop got hot on the left side; however, regardless of that, he did not change its position,” Swiss researchers reported in an article published Monday in the journal Pediatrics.

Another case involved a Virginia law student who sought treatment for the mottled discoloration on her leg.

Dr. Kimberley Salkey, who treated the young woman, was stumped until she learned the student spent about six hours a day working with her computer propped on her lap. The temperature underneath registered 125 degrees.

That case, from 2007, is one of 10 laptoprelated cases reported in medical journals in the past six years.

The condition also can be caused by overuse of heating pads and other heat sources that usually aren’t hot enough to cause burns. It’s generally harmless but can cause permanent skin darkening. In very rare cases, it can cause damage leading to skin cancers, said the Swiss researchers, Drs. Andreas Arnold and Peter Itin from University Hospital Basel. They do not cite any skin cancer cases linked to laptop use, but suggest, to be safe, placing a carrying case or other heat shield under the laptop if you have to hold it in your lap.

Salkey, an assistant dermatology professor at Eastern Virginia Medical School, said that under the microscope, the affected skin resembles skin damaged by long-term sun exposure.

Major manufacturers including Apple, Hewlett Packard and Dell warn in user manuals against placing laptops on laps or exposed skin for extended periods of time because of the risk for burns.

A medical report several years ago found that men who used laptops on their laps had elevated scrotum temperatures. If prolonged, that kind of heat can decrease sperm production, which can potentially lead to infertility.

Whether laptop use itself can cause that kind of harm hasn’t been confirmed.

In the past, “toasted skin syndrome” has occurred in workers whose jobs require being close to a heat source.

BAD BAGS: According to the Worldwatch Institute, Americans only recycle 0.6 percent of the 100 billion plastic bags they take home from stores every year; the rest end up in landfills or as litter.

FEAR

THAT

SUCH

ubiquitous bags may never fully decompose; instead they gradually just turn into smaller and smaller pieces of plastic. The most common type of plastic shopping bag is made of polyethylene, a petroleum-derived polymer that microorganisms don’t recognize as food and as such cannot technically “biodegrade.”

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency defines biodegradation as “a process by which microbial organisms transform or alter (through metabolic or enzymatic action) the structure of chemicals introduced into the environment.” In “respirometry” tests, whereby experimenters put solid waste in a container with microbe-rich compost and then add air to promote biodegradation, newspapers and banana peels decompose in days or weeks, while plastic shopping bags are not affected.

Even though polyethylene can’t biodegrade, it does break down when subject to ultraviolet radiation from the sun, a process known as photodegradation. When exposed to sunshine, polyethylene’s polymer chains become brittle and crack, eventually turning what was a plastic bag into microscopic synthetic granules. Scientists aren’t sure whether these granules ever decompose fully, and fear that their buildup in marine and terrestrial environments — and in the stomachs of wildlife — portend a bleak future compromised by plastic particles infiltrating every step in the food chain. A plastic bag might be gone in anywhere from 10 to 100 years (estimates vary) if exposed to the sun, but its environmental legacy may last forever.

The best solution to plastic bag waste is to stop using disposable plastic bags altogether.

You could invest a few bucks in reusable can-

vas totes — most supermarket chains now offer them — or bring your own reusable bags or backpacks with you to the store. If you have to choose between paper and plastic, opt for paper. Paper bags can biodegrade in a matter of weeks, and can also go into compost or yard waste piles or the recycling bin. Of course, plastic bags can be recycled also, but as just explained the process is inefficient. According to the nonprofit Worldwatch Institute, Americans only recycle 0.6 percent of the 100 billion plastic bags they take home from stores every year; the rest end up in landfills or as litter.

Another option which some stores are embracing — especially in places like San Francisco where traditional plastic shopping bags are now banned in chain supermarkets and pharmacies — are so-called compostable plastic bags, which are derived from agricultural waste and formed into a fully biodegradable faux-plastic with a consistency similar to the polyethylene bags we are so used to. BioBag is the leader in this field, but other companies are making inroads into this promising new green-friendly market.

San Francisco’s pioneering effort to get rid of polyethylene bags is a positive step, but environmentalists are pushing for such bans more widely. A California effort to ban plastic bags failed again recently, but will likely eventually succeed.

Lawmakers turn sights to endangered wolves MATTHEW BROWN Associated Press Writer

BILLINGS, Mont. Two decades after the federal government spent a half-million dollars to study the reintroduction of gray wolves to the Northern Rockies, lawmakers say it’s time for Congress to step in again — this time to clamp down on the endangered animals.

To do so they are proposing to bypass the Endangered Species Act and lift protections, first enacted in 1974, for today’s booming wolf population.

Critics say the move would undercut one of the nation’s premiere environmental laws and allow for the unchecked killing of wolves across the West.

But bitterness against the iconic predator is flaring as livestock killings increase and some big game herds dwindle.

And with state efforts to knock back the predators’ expansion stalled in court, senators from Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and Utah want to strip wolves of their endangered status by force.

“When they brought wolves to Idaho, the Legislature voted against it, the governor didn’t want it and the Congressional delegation didn’t want it,” said Idaho Republican Sen. James Risch. “We didn’t want them in the first place. But we are prepared to deal with them as we see fit.”

Following the reintroduction study, 66 wolves were brought from Canada to Central Idaho and Yellowstone National Park. The population hit the original recovery benchmark of 300 animals a decade ago, yet they remain officially endangered.

At least 1,700 wolves now roam parts of six states.

Yet wildlife advocates warn the attempt to strong-arm a public hunt through Congressional action would set a dangerous precedent for other endangered species — and unravel a wolf recovery program that has cost $30 million to date.

“It’s comparable to throwing an individual species off of Noah’s ark,” said Doug Honnold, a Montana attorney representing groups that won an Aug. 5 court ruling that returned wolves to the endangered list.

No state has proposed getting rid of wolves entirely, despite calls to do so by individual ranchers. Montana and Idaho have plans to reduce their populations by 15 percent and about 40 percent, respectively.

Those states and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service appealed the August ruling last week. A final ruling could take years.

There also are proposals to hold wolf hunts with the animals still listed as endangered. That idea has gotten a cool reception from federal wildlife officials.

State officials say intervention by Congress may be the only viable option remaining.

Environmentalists have vowed to lobby hard against several wolf bills introduced in the past two weeks. And the measures face another hurdle: Lawmakers are split along party lines over which states should be allowed to hunt wolves.

A measure introduced by Senators Max Baucus and Jon Tester, Montana Democrats, would leave wolves endangered in Wyoming,

which has a shoot-on-sight law for wolves across most of the state.

That Wyoming law played a pivotal role in the August court ruling and another in 2008 that reversed a previous attempt to take wolves off the endangered list.

“If Wyoming doesn’t want to put forward a management plan that works, that’s Wyoming’s fault,” Baucus said. Tester said Wyoming “hasn’t wanted to play” and suggested that Montana could not wait for its southern neighbor to change its mind given ongoing livestock losses from wolf attacks.

Republicans have sponsored more sweeping measures that would delist wolves across the lower 48 states, including Wyoming.

Idaho’s delegation has yet another bill, described as a fallback plan, that includes only that state and Montana.

IT’S COMPARABLE TO THROWING AN INDIVIDUAL SPECIES OFF OF NOAH’S ARK,” Doug Honnold Montana attorney

Senators from both parties and across the region met last week in part to resolve the Wyoming issue. But a common front has yet to emerge.

Wolves were off the endangered list for over a year before the latest court ruling. In that time, hunters in Montana and Idaho killed 260 of the animals.

Environmentalists decried the shootings as unprecedented for a species just off the endangered list. Among the wolves killed were members of a well-known Yellowstone National Park pack that crossed onto Montana land.

Yet those managed hunts were a far cry from the days when bounty hunters known as “wolfers” poisoned, shot, trapped and burned the species to near-extinction early last century.

A count at the end of 2009 showed the region’s wolf population rose slightly last year despite the hunts. Wildlife officials heralded the increase as proof the states could show restraint.

Even without public hunting, government wildlife agents regularly retaliate against wolves that attack livestock, typically by shooting them from aircraft.

About 270 were shot last year under the program and more than 1,300 have been killed since Congress’ initial involvement.

“Government agents killing wolves with shotguns from helicopters — that’s not the model we had of conservation we had in mind,” said Carolyn Sime, the head of Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks’ wolf program.

“It took an act of Congress to direct the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to study reintroduction. Maybe that’s fitting as a way to resolve this,” she said.

SAMOHI FROM PAGE 1 lot of ground [from last season].”

The game began on a sour note for Samohi with Gervais throwing an interception on the team’s first possession to Valencia cornerback Jake Reed, who returned the wayward throw for a score giving his team a 7-0 lead early in the first quarter.

On the ensuing Samohi possession, turnovers continued to hamper the Vikings as running back Kori Garcia fumbled the ball at his own 45-yard line. Linebacker Rudy Alcantar returned the ball to Samohi’s 14-yard line where Valencia scored on quarterback Alex Bishop’s keeper, making the score 14-0 early in the first quarter.

Despite being down, Gervais rallied his Vikings to two consecutive scores tying the game at 14-14 with 11:21 left in the second quarter. He first connected with Brandon Taylor on a 70-yard scoring pass, and after a Valencia punt, Garcia rushed for another.

“My kids came to play,” Clark said. “I thought we played good enough to win.”

Samohi would add a scoring pass from Gervais to wide receiver Kris Comas in the half, but it wasn’t enough to stop Bishop and co. from entering half time with a 35-21 lead. “[Samohi] is a good football team,” Valencia Head Coach Larry Muir said. “They are right there on the cusp.”

From there, it was all Valencia, led by running back Steven Manfro, who would score five touchdowns before the night was over.

He rushed for 115 yards on 21 carries.

Valencia outscored Samohi, 28-7, in the half.

Despite the gawdy numbers, Clark was happy with the way his team forced Valencia to look beyond Manfro on offense. Manfro had been averaging 162 yards a game. “[Manfro’s] good,” Clark said, “but not as good as advertised.”

RUNNING MAN: Valencia running back Steven Manfro runs for a touchdown against Santa Monica High School on Friday at Corsair Field. Manfro would score five touchdowns during the 63-28 win over Samohi.

Aside from throwing the four interceptions, Gervais finished the game 10 of 15 for 227 yards and two scores. Despite his uneven performance, Clark said that Gervais should remain the starting quarterback next Friday at home against Centennial.

“I think the youngster did well,” Clark said. “He deserves another start.”

For Samohi’s Garcia, he’s just happy to move on to face Centennial of Compton.

“We’ll remember this feeling,” Garcia said of the loss. “But, we’ll get over it and have a good week of practice.” daniela@smdp.com

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO Parking Structure No. 2 Seismic Retrofit The parking structure will remain open throughout the construction project; however, the work requires the closure of up to 50 parking spaces per day. The lanes exiting to Second Street will be closed until midOctober. During this time, all exiting traffic is being rerouted to the alley behind the parking structure.

Some of the construction requires workers to be in close proximity to the drive aisles. Please use extreme caution while driving in the structure. The estimated completion date for the project is late January 2011.

Proponents say the cameras are a valuable tool for protecting public safety at a time when police departments are stretched thin, though their effectiveness has been questioned. A recent audit of Los Angeles red-light cameras found that they were not necessarily installed at the city’s most dangerous intersections.

A lawsuit seeking class-action status on behalf of several ticketed drivers contends the stop-sign cameras conflict with the state vehicle code, which require that automated enforcement systems provide a clear photograph of a vehicle’s license plate and the offending driver.

The cameras operated by Redflex Traffic Systems are activated when a sensor in the road detects a vehicle moving faster than 7 mph approaches a stop. The camera captures the rear license plate of cars that blow through a stop and an administrative ticket is issued to registered car owner.

vehicle code covers public highways but not roadways through parks.

The authority insists it installed the cameras at high-traffic areas where vehicles come too close to hikers, joggers and bicyclists. There has been a significant reduction in the number of people running stop signs since the cameras were installed.

“There’s a real reason for this, it’s not jut an arbitrary sinister thing,” said authority spokeswoman Dash Stolarz.

The MRCA pays a $4,400 monthly fee for each camera operated by Redflex. Of the 34,875 citations issued, 889 were dismissed.

Altogether, the authority netted close to $2 million from the program, and proceeds went toward ranger patrol, search and rescue efforts, fire protection and maintenance costs.

She said the cameras help enforce road safety that 23 rangers can’t possibly patrol in the 60,000 acres that make up the network of parks.

Still, stung drivers say they would have avoided repeated citations if they had been caught by an officer instead of a machine.

“I did break a law but I don’t think I did anything unsafe,” Wilson said. “If you get pulled over by a cop you get shaken and say ‘I’m not going to do this again.’ I had no warning between each one." funds came from Santa Monica College bond money, Los Angeles County and the State Water Resources Control Board.

Giants beat Padres, 3-0, to win NL West JANIE MCCAULEY AP Baseball Writer

SAN FRANCISCO Jonathan Sanchez pitched the San Francisco Giants back into the playoffs after a six-year absence, beating the San Diego Padres 3-0 Sunday to wrap up the NL West title.

Buster Posey homered and the Giants finally got it done — on their third try against the Padres this weekend — to capture their first division crown and playoff berth since 2003.

“It’s been seven years since we’ve seen something like this,” closer Brian Wilson said.

SURF CONDITIONS

“It’s been a rollercoaster the entire season.”

San Francisco will host the wild-card Atlanta Braves starting Thursday at AT&T Park, with ace Tim Lincecum well rested to go in Game 1. The Braves beat the Phillies 87 earlier in the day, extending manager Bobby Cox’s farewell season.

Two NL playoff races came down to Game 162.

San Diego missed a chance to force a Monday playoff with the Giants at Petco Park to decide the NL West winner. The loser of that would have flown to Atlanta to determine the wild card had there been a threeway tie.

SHEPARD

■ Ingrid Paulicivic filed a lawsuit in September against Laguna Beach, Calif., gynecologist Red Alinsod over leg burns she bafflingly acquired during her 2009 hysterectomy -- a procedure that was topped off by the doctor's nearly gratuitous name-"branding" of her uterus with his electrocautery tool. Dr. Alinsod explained that he carved "Ingrid" in inch-high letters on the organ only after he had removed it and that such labeling helps in the event a woman requests the return of the uterus as a souvenir. He called the branding just a "friendly gesture" and said he did not know how the burns on Paulicivic's leg occurred.

■ BBC News reported in August that government officials in southern Sudan had unveiled a $10 billion plan that would rebuild the area's major cities (heavily damaged during the ongoing civil war) "in the shapes of animals and fruit." New blueprints for one state capital, Juba, show its boundaries in the shape of a rhinoceros, and for another capital, Wau, a giraffe, and for the town of Yambio, the outline of a pineapple. (Such municipal planning might appear quixotic, especially in view of Sudan's wartime chaos, but investors can hardly ignore a country that sits on rich oil deposits.)

GETTING STARTED

CHUCK

SOLUTIONS TO YESTERDAY’S PUZZLE

There are many strategies to solving Sudoku. One way to begin is to examine each 3x3 grid and figure out which numbers are missing.

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.

TODAY IN HISTORY

TM

• Fill the grid with the set of given numbers (1 to 12) to satisfy the Equa demands (7 to 24) in the shaded boxes. The Equa demands represent the sum of the digits that you will insert into the empty squares.

• Each horizontal row has one Equa demand to satisfy; each vertical column also has one demand to satisfy. Each empty square in the grid dictates the math operation (addition +, subtraction -, multiplication X, and division ÷) that must be performed to meet the demands.

• You must follow the given math operations for each square and you must make sure all the numbers satisfy the demands in the shaded boxes when connected in adjacent threes and calculated together from left to right, and top to bottom.

• The numbers you insert into the grid must satisfy the Equa demands both horizontally and vertically.
