MARTINEZ - Bail was increased to $5 million on Wednesday for an El Monte woman accused of kidnapping her 4-month-old granddaughter from her family's Northern California home as part of a bizarre scheme to pass the infant off as her own newborn. The Contra Costa Sheriff's Office convinced a judge to raise the Ericka Gallego's bail based on an amended complaint in which prosecutors added one count of residential burglary to Gallego's kidnapping charge, according to Contra Costa deputy district attorney Nancy Georgiou. The baby's great-uncle told the Contra Costa Times earlier in the day that family members feared Gallego was a flight risk with the $150,000 bail that was previously set.

In April, MediaNews agreed to take four of those papers off McClatchy's hands-the San Jose Mercury News, the Contra Costa Times, the Pioneer Press in St. Paul and the Monterey County Herald, a small daily on California's central coast. If the sale goes through, the Web site declares, "One out-of-state publisher would now control all daily newspapers in the Bay Area outside of San Francisco, with the capability of restricting news content, limiting voices of expression and dictating terms for advertising leading to higher rates.

Chad Costa is a perfectly friendly guy, but he has a penchant for getting booed when he cuts his grass. His neighbors don't take kindly to the burgundy-and-gold signs and flags splayed across his front yard, nor do they think the American Indian logo tattooed on his ankle is particularly attractive. Costa's 15-year-old daughter, meanwhile, proudly wears a "Dallas Sucks" T-shirt to school in hopes of recruiting fellow fans, but no one around their home in Frisco, Texas, ever seems to think very highly of her cause.

Youre probably wondering why I bothered to write a column for the day after the world ended. But as a hard-working professional, I can weather the greatest adversities.

This latest doomsday story gained momentum in recent months as the national media focused on Harold Camping, 89, a preacher in Oakland, Calif., who leads an evangelical nonprofit called Family Radio. Im not sure why its called a nonprofit. This outfit raised $100 million over the past seven years and, according to the Contra Costa Times, Campings crew owns 66 radio stations and was worth more than $72 million in 2009.
