In the letter, Brewer Brown seeks special session on health care reform Jerry Brown has told California law- makers that he intends to call a special legislative session on health care reform at the end of the year. In a letter dated Thursday, the Democratic governor told legislative leaders that many of the provisions of the new federal health care law cannot be implemented without further guid- ance from federal officials. Brown does not specify exactly what he wants lawmakers to consider, but his chief health care adviser said California needs time to make statuto- ry changes to meet a Jan 1, 2014, dead- line for launching a health care exchange. The exchange will be designed to provide consumers a mar- ketplace to purchase affordable insur- ance coverage. Diana Dooley, secretary of the Cal- ifornia Health and Human Services Agency, said state officials will use the next few months to figure out what changes need to be made. SACRAMENTO (AP) — Gov. The special session is expected to happen in December. It will enable the administration to begin making prepa- rations for the exchange because any bill enacted in special session can take effect in 90 days. If the bills were passed instead during the regular leg- islative session in 2013, they could not take effect until the following year. ''We know that there are likely to be issues that we're going to need statuto- ry authority for it,'' Dooley said Friday. ''We don't really know what those are at this point, but I thought it would be helpful to let everybody know that we're thinking ahead, that we recog- nize that we're on a very fast, tight time track to get this ready for January 2014.'' building technology infrastructure needed to run the exchange, working with county service centers, and doing community outreach are among the issues the state needs to begin address- ing, she said. Eligibility and enrollment systems, Most of major wildfires are simmering down SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Firefighters across Califor- nia breathed sighs of relief Friday as major wildfires showed signs of easing, but two blazes on federal park lands kept growing. Crews in Northern California were close to full contain- ment of a wildfire in Lake County. The blaze that burned more than 12 square miles was 90 percent contained, state fire spokesman Daniel Berlant said. Full containment was expected as soon as Sunday. Saturday, August 18, 2012 – Daily News 5A aggressive states in adopting rules to implement President Barack Obama's signature law, which was upheld this year by the Supreme Court. California has been among the most There are 7 million Californians who lack insurance because they can- not afford existing plans or have been refused coverage by insurance compa- nies. Peter Lee, executive director of the California Health Benefit Exchange, has said more than 3 million uninsured residents will be able to buy affordable coverage as a result of the federal reforms. The state already has banned insur- ers from refusing coverage for children with pre-existing illnesses and allows young people to remain on their par- ents' plans through age 26. Rhys Williams, spokesman for Sen- ate President Pro Tem Darrell Stein- berg, says lawmakers still need to take up three health care-related bills before this year's regular legislative session finishes at the end of the month. STATE BRIEFING AIDS patients while running a thrift store and food program. Authorities say one of the men he helped, Frederick Clark, recruited Sessoms and another man to help rob the pastor of a few hundred dollars. Sheriff was tied up and stabbed two dozen times. Sessoms fled Sacramento and turned up in Oklahoma at the home of his father, who urged him to surrender and request a lawyer. Sessoms turned himself in and told inves- tigators his father told him to ask the police ''to give me a lawyer.'' according to the appeals court opinion. The majority said that phrase was enough to stop the interrogation and provide Sessoms with a lawyer. San Diego County were allowed to return to their homes as evacuation orders were lifted. The all-clear came three days after a cluster of wildfires caused by lightning burned more than 35 square miles of brush in the northern communities of Ranchita and San Felipe. Only two fires were still burning in the area and both were at least 75 percent contained, Berlant said. Officials also said firefighters contained a 4-square-mile fire east of Temecula in Riverside County that burned a home and injured six people. A 273-acre wildfire in Joshua Tree National Park was contained Thursday. ''We're not letting our guard down, but the hard work this past week has definitely paid off,'' Berlant said. ''We stand prepared just in case.'' The developments came as thousands of firefighters kept battling two stubborn wildfires on national parklands in Northern California. Crews were still trying to get a foothold along a southern stretch of the Chips Fire in Plumas National Forest, about 120 miles north of Sacramento. The blaze threatened more than 900 homes and has prompted voluntary evacuations. The fire has burned 67 square miles and was 20 percent contained as firefighters grappled with smoke and rolling rocks. ''They are encountering a lot of rollout in very steep canyons making it hard to hold containment,'' fire spokes- woman Stacy Kronner said. ''It's very treacherous out there.''

The Bakersfield Californian reports that 45-year-old Frank Valles was being held Thursday in connection with the remains, which have not been identified. Detective Michael Coronado says police received a tip Tuesday that led them to one of the homes, where they found Valles. After interrogating Frank Valles police searched another address for more remains, which they located. The initial home that was searched belonged to Valles' estranged wife, Consuelo Valles, who had filed for divorce and had asked for a restraining order against her husband. She has not been arrested. Police and the coroner's office were digging on the prop- erties, checking for more human remains. New family of spiders damage. ''I can't believe they went ahead with letting a fire burn for the ecosystem's benefit in a season that, for the entire nation, is record dry,'' Fitch said. Lassen Volcanic National Park Superintendent Darlene The fire has cost $19 million to fight and could be fully contained by the end of the month, Kronner added. Meanwhile, former Shasta-Trinity National Forest super- visor and fire expert Steve Fitch ripped the National Park Service for allowing the Reading Fire to smolder for more than a week before it grew into a raging wildfire. Fitch told the Redding Record Searchlight the park ser- vice let the blaze in Lassen Volcanic National Park feed on overgrowth before it exploded into an inferno that has burned more than 42 square miles. He believes it could take a century for nature to repair the Academy entomologist Charles Griswold says the spider spins a crude web, but scientists don't know yet what or how it eats. The discovery is described in the online edition of the journal ZooKeys. Koontz said Fitch was incorrect with his assessment. She said the fire was being closely monitored after it was sparked by lightning in July 23 with the goal to let some of the under- growth burn. But the fire jumped its perimeter on Aug. 6, when unex- pected wind gusts of up to 20 mph caused flames to catch in thick pines, Koontz added. ''There was no threat to the public with the perimeter we initially established. It just jumped that perimeter,'' Koontz said. ''Our goal was to never let the fire go outside the perimeter that we established.'' The fire was nearly 30 percent contained as the 1,000 or so firefighters battling it braced for a weekend of possible strong winds and thunderstorms. The fire is threatening 148 homes, 50 commercial prop- erties and 30 outbuildings. It has cost nearly $10 million to fight the fire so far. Court: Convict entitled to new trial or release SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal appeals court has ordered a new trial or the release from prison of a man con- victed of killing a Sacramento minister and renowned gay rights activists in 1999. investigators wrongfully ignored Tio Dinero Sessoms' request for a lawyer. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Thursday that Sessoms confessed to participating with two others in the robbing and killing of Edward R. Sherriff. A jury convicted him of first-degree murder and he was sentenced to life with- out parole. divided 6-5 in favor of ordering a new trial or his release. The dissenters said Sessoms' requests for legal counsel were too vague to be understood.

Sherriff was an associate pastor at the Cathedral of Promise Metropolitan Community Church and ministered to The Sacramento County district attorney's office said it Kenny the Clown had late Steve Jobs' stolen iPad SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Families waiting for San Francisco's cable cars on a recent morning couldn't help but notice Kenny the Clown, who wore a curly rainbow wig as he twisted brightly colored balloons into animal shapes for visitors, blasting Michael Jackson's ''Smooth Criminal'' from an iPad at his feet. Little did the clown know that the tablet doubling as his stereo would turn out to have been stolen from the home of the late Steve Jobs. ''The thing that is embarrassing to me is I'm a huge fan of Steve Jobs,'' said Kenneth Kahn, 47, a professional enter- tainer who police say unwittingly received a silver 64GB iPad pilfered from the home of the Apple co-founder last month. ''It's just bizarre.'' Kahn's friend, Kariem McFarlin, 35, of Alameda was arrested on suspicion of breaking into Jobs' Palo Alto resi- dence on Aug. 2. The pair had been planning a vacation to Hawaii, and when their trip fell through, Kahn said McFarlin gave him the iPad in exchange for money he had borrowed. ''He owed me $300 for the plane tickets, so he said he had an Apple computer that he wasn't using anymore. I said fine, not having any clue what the hell was going on,'' Kahn told The Associated Press on Friday. It was unclear if Jobs had ever used it. have found a new family of spiders in southern Oregon that scientists have dubbed Trogloraptor (TRA'-gla-rap-tor), or cave robber, for its fearsome front claws. The spelunkers sent specimens to the California Acade- my of Sciences in San Francisco. Entomologists there say the spider — the size of a half dollar — evolved so distinct- ly that it requires its own taxonomic family — the first new spider family from North America since 1870.
