The childhood friend accused of
gunning down an East Palo Alto
activist at a San Mateo shopping
center in 2010 is now competent for
trial on murder and gun charges
after a brief stay at a state mental
facility, a judge ruled yesterday.
After the
defense for
Gregory Elarms
and the prosecu-
tion submitted
doctor reports,
Judge Lisa
Novak declared
the 60-year-old
restored to com-
petency and
reinstated crimi-
nal proceedings.
Elarms was
sent to
Atascadero State
Hospital in
August 2011.
Yesterdays rul-
ing restarts the
criminal case which had slowed
since Elarms return from
Atascadero in May after defense
attorney Jonathan McDougall,
appointed to replace his previous
attorney, disputed the doctors con-
clusions. Elarms also tried unsuc-
cessfully to re McDougall.
McDougall and prosecutor Al
Giannini were expected to call doc-
tors to the witness stand but instead
let Novak rule based on the reports
and letters from Elarms to
McDougall.
Elarms refused to speak with the
defense doctor whose report mainly
criticized Atascadero and did not
include any analysis of the defen-

Gov. Jerry Brown has made austeri-
ty a hallmark of his administration,
telling state workers they must turn
in their cellphones, selling off state
vehicles, severely reducing employ-
ee travel and cutting billions from
the general fund.
Brown was counting on that
record to help him sell his
November ballot initiative seeking
to boost the state sales and income
taxes temporarily to close what was
a $15.7 billion
budget deficit
and avoid further
cuts to educa-
tion.

Thousands gather for
NYC secret outdoor dinner
NEW YORK Guess who came to
dinner?
On Monday night in Manhattan, the
answer was 3,000 people all dressed
in white, descending on the Lincoln
Center for the Performing Arts.
The venue was a surprise until just
before the flash-mob feast started at 7
p.m. Registered guests got emails
telling them where to go.
They brought chairs, tables, food and
drink, plus candles and snow white bal-
loons sailing high above the main plaza
at sunset. Row after white row filled the
space around a high-shooting fountain
free of charge, with legal permits.
Matthew Karl Gale wore a sailor hat
as he sat at a small white-covered table
he bought on Craigslist.
I looked for small white folding
table, the 33-year-old eyewear design-
er from Brooklyn said with a grin.
His tattooed dinner partner, biotech
industry employee Cassandra McCall,
also 33, came all the way from San
Francisco to join the revelry, explain-
ing, I love the group dynamic of all
these people together, in white its
enchanting.
Gale said he enjoyed the difficulty
of getting everything together the
food, the table and bringing it here
on the subway.
Their table was filled with cheese, a
couscous dish, prosciutto, grapes and
more eaten with real home cutlery
and linen napkins that came from their
wicker basket. There were white roses
for the table.
And then, Gale added, you have this
unique, quirky experience, and its
over.
Pop-up picnics will also be staged in
Philadelphia on Thursday, Chicago on
Friday, and next week in Vancouver,
Singapore and Brisbane, Australia, fol-
lowed by about a dozen other cities
months from now.
Rob Robinson and Gai Spann, both
43, brought their own strobe light, plus
some pearls and diamonds that repre-
sent his college fraternity and her soror-
ity.
Were both into food and wine, and
dressing up, said Spann, who owns a
travel agency and wore a lacy white
head ornament. He runs his own e-
commerce company.
Next year, they plan to fly to Paris,
where Diner en Blanc French for
dinner in white was started in 1988
by a group of friends and is repeated
each year.
The volunteer event grew by word of
mouth and social media to dozens of
cities worldwide.
This year was the second New York
repast; the first was held last August on
a plaza near the World Trade Center.

He was pronounced dead at the scene, Glace
said.
The fast lane was blocked as crews worked

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A teenage transient accused of stealing
from a Belmont mosque donation box several
times last year was sentenced yesterday to 32
months in prison for second-degree burglary
but released with credit for time served.
Prosecutors say Jaouad Bouamama, 20, but
19 at the time, burglarized the Yaseen
Foundation mosque on Masonic Way ve
times but was only able to take cash on three
occasions because the imam moved the dona-
tion box. Bouamama reportedly entered the
mosque using a pass code and the break-ins
were caught on a security
video. Belmont police
arrested him April 9, 2011
when a patrolling ofcer
spotted him in the area
and found his answers
about his birth date and
purpose suspicious.
The actual amount
taken from the mosque
was not released.
At the time, Bouamama
was on probation for attempted residential
burglary. As part of his negotiated settlement,
Bouamama also admitted a prior strike and
was promised no more than 32 months in
prison. He received credit of 916 earned
while in custody in lieu of $125,000 bail,
effectively leading to his release. He was also
ordered to stay away from the Yaseen
Foundation.

PG&E finds exposed pipeline
in San Bruno near airport
An annual patrol of the 24-inch
gas transmission pipeline revealed
about a 10-foot section of under-
ground pipeline is partially
exposed, according to Pacic Gas
and Electric.
Visual inspections of the pipeline
at the end of Angus Avenue, which
runs parallel with Highway 101 on
San Francisco Airport property
behind the properties on the 500
block of Seventh Avenue. In an
Aug. 21 letter to nearby residents,
PG&E representative David
Gutierrez wrote the exposure
appears to be due to soil erosion
and drainage.
PG&E spokeswoman Brittany
Chord said the companys rst pri-
ority is safety. Second, the compa-
ny wants to maintain communica-
tion with customers, which is why
the letter was sent out.
Residents in the area expressed
concerns about the possible time-
line for xing the problem up to
seven months.
The task of resolving the soil ero-
sion takes an estimated four to eight
days, said Gutierrez. However, get-
ting the appropriate environmental
approvals could take up to seven
months. Over the next months,
those in the area may see PG&E
employees and contractors access-
ing the site through the gates at the
end of Angus Avenue.
Chord said the company is work-
ing with the various agencies in
hopes of expediting the process.

ATLANTA The current West Nile out-
break is one of the largest in the U.S., with
four times the usual number of cases for this
time of year, federal health ofcials said
Wednesday.
Its still too early to say how bad the year
will end up because most infections are
reported in August and September. But never
before have so many illnesses been reported
this early, said Dr. Lyle Petersen, of the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Were in the midst of one of the largest
West Nile outbreaks ever seen in the United
States, said Petersen, who oversees the
CDCs mosquito-borne illness programs.
So far, 1,118 illnesses have been reported,
about half of them in Texas. In an average
year, fewer than 300 cases are reported by
mid-August. There have also been 41 deaths
this year, the CDC said.
And cases seem to be accelerating: about
400 of the cases were reported in just the last
week.
Experts think the mild winter, early spring
and very hot summer helped stimulate mos-
quito breeding and the spread of the virus.
Mosquitoes pick up the virus from birds they
bite and then pass it on to people.
CDC ofcials are also looking into the pos-
sibility that the virus mutated, but so far have
no information showing that happened,
Petersen said.
West Nile virus was rst diagnosed in
Uganda in 1937, but no cases were reported in
the U.S. until 1999 in New York. The virus
gradually spread across the country.
It peaked in 2002 and 2003, when severe ill-
nesses reached nearly 3,000 and deaths sur-
passed 260. Last year was mild, with fewer
than 700 cases.
Only about 1 in 5 infected people get sick.
Early symptoms can include fever, headache
and body aches. Some recover in a matter of
days. But 1 in 150 infected people will devel-
op severe symptoms including neck stiffness,
disorientation, coma and paralysis.
Many illnesses probably go unreported,
especially milder cases. In this years case
count, more than half are severe, CDC of-
cials said.
CDC: West Nile outbreak one of largest in U.S.
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Two birds collected in Half Moon Bay this
month tested positive for West Nile virus,
bringing the countys infected animal total
this year to nine.
A mourning dove collected Aug. 9 is the
districts second bird to test positive for acute
West Nile and a red-tailed hawk picked up
the next day brought the total of chronic
infections to seven.
Animals with a chronic infection are
unlikely to have been infected recently unlike
acute cases which point to recent contraction,
according to the San Mateo County
Mosquito and Vector Control District.
Vector control technicians are stepping up
monitoring in the neighborhoods where pos-
itive birds and squirrels have been found but
ofcials said all mosquitoes trapped and test-
ed this year have been negative for the virus.
Infected animals have also been found in
Woodside, Menlo Park, Redwood City,
Atherton and San Mateo.
West Nile virus is transmitted through the
bite of an infected mosquito and the positive
animals are good reminders to avoid mos-
quito bites, Angie Nakano, acting laboratory
director for the district, said in a prepared
statement.
To prevent mosquito bites and breeding,
the district reminds the public to remember
the Three Ds drain standing water
because that is where mosquitoes lay eggs;
wear proper clothing and repellent during
dawn and dusk when mosquitoes bite; and
apply insect repellent containing DEET,
picaradin, oil of lemon eucalyptus or IR3535.
The mosquito district asks people to report
dead birds or tree squirrels to the West Nile
hotline at www.westnile.ca.gov or calling
(877) WNV-BIRD ((877) 968-2473). More
information on the virus is available at
www.smcmad.org and mosquito problems
specic to San Mateo County can be report-
ed to the district at 344-8592.

Researchers have identified a mysterious
new disease that has left scores of people in
Asia and some in the United States with
AIDS-like symptoms even though they are
not infected with HIV. The patients immune
systems become damaged, leaving them
unable to fend off germs as healthy people
do. What triggers this isnt known, but the
disease does not seem to be contagious.
This is another kind of acquired immune
deficiency that is not inherited and occurs in
adults, but doesnt spread the way AIDS does
through a virus, said Dr. Sarah Browne, a sci-
entist at the National Institute of Allergy and
Infectious Diseases.
She helped lead the study with researchers
in Thailand and Taiwan where most of the
cases have been found since 2004. Their
report is in Thursdays New England Journal
of Medicine.
This is absolutely fascinating. Ive seen
probably at least three patients in the last 10
years or so who might have had this, said
Dr. Dennis Maki, an infectious disease spe-
cialist at the University of Wisconsin in
Madison.

The city of Half Moon Bay and
residents along Kehoe Avenue have
reached an agreement nine months
after a judge ruled against the city
for clearing out a clogged drainage
ditch in 2009 without seeking the
proper permits.
The November ruling called for
the city to pay a minimum of $1,000
for each day that the violation per-
sisted. Since nearly three years had
elapsed between the completion of
the project and the decision, the city
faced more than $1 million in civil
penalties. Instead, the City Council
approved a settlement Tuesday
night. The agreement, according to
the city, means avoiding such a civil
penalty.
With this agreement, we are nal-
ly able to put this unfortunate issue
behind us and focus our complete
attention on other city priorities,
Mayor Allan Alifano said in a pre-
pared statement. Although we care-
fully considered challenging the
courts opinion on the Coastal
Development Permit, it has become
clear that an appeal would have
exposed the city to even greater risk
and considerably more in legal fees.
Under the terms of the agreement,
the city will reimburse James
Lawrence Benjamin, a former Half
Moon Bay planning commissioner,
and Zoya Dorry Benjamin $295,000
in legal expenses, according to a
city press release. The city will also
process a retroactive Coastal
Development Permit for certain
maintenance work performed in
early 2009. A public hearing will be
held to consider updating the citys
coastal resources map to include the
Kehoe Avenue ditch and adjacent
areas as potential California red-
legged frog habitat. Lastly, the city
will conduct proceedings to consid-
er vacating an unneeded easement
for potential future street purposes
along Pilarcitos Avenue.
The ditch cleanup was done by
California Conservation Corps
workers and Benjamin led suit in
2010 alleging the city and the
Conservation Corps workers violat-
ed federal and state protection laws
by not securing the proper permits.
In her November decision, San
Mateo County Superior Court
Judge Julie Conger found the city
violated the Coastal Act, putting the
habitat for some endangered species
at risk by clearing out a clogged
draining ditch with chain saws and
weed whackers. The city said the
work was done in response to com-
plaints from Kehoe Avenue resi-
dents who said the clogged drain
was ooding their yards.
The city should have obtained a
Coastal Development Permit to do
the work, Conger wrote in her ruling.
She did write, however, that habi-
tat damage from the project was
relatively minor.
The city lost another court case in
2007 related to the botched
Beachwood development. It is cur-
rently paying nearly $1 million a
year in bond repayments to settle
the $18 million court ruling.
Settlement ends Half Moon Bay drainage ditch dispute

The seizure-prone driver who
fatally slammed into a car carrying
two men on their way to a baptism
celebration in July again delayed
entering pleas to two counts of mur-
der, charges leveled by prosecutors
because they say he insisted on driv-
ing without a license despite being
forbidden by his medical condition
and having a lengthy record of
crashes.
Rodney Corsiglia, 49, is also
charged with felony drunk driving,
gross vehicular manslaughter with
intoxication and misdemeanor driv-
ing on a sus-
pended license
along with the
second-degree
murder charges.
Corsiglia held
off on pleas at
his earlier
a r r a i g n me n t
while trying to
retain private
c o u n s e l .
Yesterday, a different attorney
appeared and put off further pro-
ceedings until Sept. 7.
Meanwhile, Corsiglia remains in
custody without bail.
Prosecutors say the murder
charges were not a difcult choice
after learning of Corsiglias known
medical condition and seven prior
crashes in the last decade linked to
it, including two on the same day.
In the latest case, Corsiglia, a
retired custodian from San Bruno,
was driving east on Sneath Lane at
approximately 12:15 p.m. when he
reportedly crashed into several
other eastbound cars halted at a
stoplight at El Camino Real. The
two who died, cousins Arnulfo
Picazo, 39, of San Bruno, and
Usbaldo Picazo Gomez, 37, of
South San Francisco, were on their
way to pick up beverages for a bap-
tism celebration. Two others, an
adult and a 9-year-old boy, were
also hospitalized with serious
injuries. The deaths of Picazo and
Gomez left ve children fatherless.
Authorities are still awaiting the
results of toxicology tests on
Corsiglia but he is believed to have
been under the inuence.
Corsiglia reportedly suffers petite
mal seizures for which his license
was permanently suspended in
2011.
Between 2002 and 2011,
Corsiglia had seven traffic acci-
dents. Six were between 2007 and
2011 and all were reported to
involve speeding and seizures. One
day in 2007, Corsiglia reportedly
left one Redwood City accident that
injured three to rent a new car. A
few hours later in San Bruno, he
reportedly ran a stop sign and
broadsided a car with two passen-
gers before running off an embank-
ment and into a tree.
He also has three prior convic-
tions for driving on a suspended
license and a couple DUIs. In 2004,
while on probation for an earlier
domestic violence conviction,
Corsiglia was convicted by a jury of
striking his girlfriend with a tele-
phone receiver. The defense
claimed Corsiglia was unconscious
at the time due to intoxication and
seizures.

RALEIGH, N.C. Republicans Mitt
Romney and Paul Ryan found themselves
dragged into a debate Wednesday over
hot-button social issues and answering for
differences between their personal posi-
tions on abortion, just days before a
national convention aimed at showing a
unied Republican party. The discussion
lingered while President Barack Obama
and Romney tangled from afar over issues
like education and the decit.
The GOP ticket dealt with a renewed
focus on abortion in the wake of com-
ments about legitimate rape from
Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin,
remarks that have caused an uproar and
generated demands from Romney and
party leaders for the congressman to
quit the race.
The questions over
abortion overshad-
owed events by
Romney and Ryan in
the battleground states
of Iowa, North
Carolina and Virginia
three states which
Obama carried in
2008 ahead of next
weeks Republican
convention in Tampa, Fla. Obama rallied
supporters in Nevada, the state with the
nations highest unemployment rate of 12
percent, before heading to New York for a
basketball-themed fundraiser.
Since selecting Ryan as his running
mate, Romney has faced questions about
how his policy positions differ from those
espoused by Ryan, the architect of a con-
troversial budget blueprint that would dra-
matically alter
Medicare. On abor-
tion, Romney does
not oppose abortion in
cases of rape and
incest or if it will save
the mothers life,
while Ryan does
oppose abortion in
cases of rape and
incest.
Ryan, in an inter-
view with a Pennsylvania TV station,
emphasized Romneys role at the top of
the ticket, saying he was proud of his
record on the social issue.
I stand by my pro-life record in
Congress. Its something Im proud of.
But Mitt Romney is the top of the ticket
and Mitt Romney will be president and he
will set the policy of the Romney admin-
istration, he said.
Pension plans urged
to invest in projects
SACRAMENTO A bill being sent
to the governor encourages the states
major public pension funds to put a prior-
ity on California projects when deciding
where to place money for infrastructure
investments.
SB955 asks the California Public
Employees Retirement System and
California State Teachers Retirement
System to invest in California projects
over comparable ones in other states. It
passed the Senate on 36-0 vote
Wednesday.
The projects would have to conform to
the boards regular duciary standards.
Bill would lower cost
of chemotherapy pills
SACRAMENTO Patients undergo-
ing chemotherapy would pay less for pill-
based treatments under legislation sent to
the governor Wednesday over the objec-
tions of some health plans and insurers.
The state Assembly passed AB1000 on
51-12 vote.
It would prohibit health plans and
insurance policies from charging more
for covering oral chemotherapy than for
the intravenous treatment.
Bill extends law forcing
treatment of mentally ill
SACRAMENTO State lawmakers
have sent the governor an extension of a
law that allows courts to force people
with mental illness into treatment.
AB1569 extends Lauras Law, which is
set to expire next year, until 2017. The
decade-old law allows courts to mandate
treatment for people with severe mental
illness and a history of violence.
Developer proposes
massive theme park in Tracy
TRACY A developer is proposing
to build a $1.2 billion entertainment hub
in Tracy that would be four times bigger
than Disneyland.
The Stockton Record reports city of-
cials gave James Rogers and Spirit of
California LLC the exclusive right to
negotiate for 628 acres north of Tracy,
about 60 miles east of San Francisco.
Bill seeks to reduce police,
student confrontation
SACRAMENTO California State
University campuses would be
required to designate liaisons between
student protesters and campus law
enforcement under a bill approved by
the Assembly.
Lawmakers say it is a response to
recent confrontations, most notably the
pepper-spraying of student demonstrators
at the University of California, Davis in
November.
Senate OKs bill targeting
unvaccinated students
SACRAMENTO The California
Senate has approved a bill that would
require parents to visit the doctors ofce
before enrolling their children in school
without vaccines.
The bill by Democratic Assemblyman
Richard Pan of Sacramento passed the
Senate Wednesday on a 21-14 vote. It
now goes back to the Assembly for a nal
vote.
Bill would help
injured student athletes
SACRAMENTO State lawmak-
ers on Wednesday approved first-in-
the-nation legislation requiring
California universities with the most
high-profile sports programs to provide
financial protections for student ath-
letes who suffer career-ending injuries.
Schools would have to give academ-
ic scholarships to students who lose
their athletic scholarships because of
an injury suffered playing their sport.
The bill also requires them to cover
insurance deductibles and pay health
care premiums for low-income ath-
letes.
Bill mandates quick
reporting of lost, stolen guns
SACRAMENTO Gun owners
would have to report stolen or missing
firearms to authorities within 48 hours
of discovering them gone under a bill
approved by the state Assembly.
The bill by Democratic Sen. Mark
DeSaulnier of Concord is supported by
the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun
Violence and the California Police Chiefs
Association.

TAMPA, Fla. All Isaac needs to do is come close to
Tampa to bring a lot of problems to the Republican National
Convention. Even during an average summer thunderstorm
in this area, major roads can ood.
When a tropical storm raked the Tampa Bay area in June,
thousands of homes and businesses lost power, tornadoes
spun off and streets and bridges were closed as the storm
was blamed for seven deaths statewide. Its still too early to
say where Isaac will end up, but ofcials are closely watch-
ing the storm and say theyre ready to make any decisions,
if needed, about evacuations or cancellations as 70,000 del-
egates, journalists and protesters descend on the city.
Public safety will always trump politics, Tampa Mayor
Bob Buckhorn said. And so my job, and our job, if we
move into that mode, is to make sure we get people out of
harms way. I dont care whether theyre anarchists or
theyre delegates.
The current forecast has Isaac strengthening into a hurri-
cane Thursday night and heading toward South Florida,
arriving around Monday, the opening day of the convention
and nearly a week of parties, speeches and other events cul-
minating with the coronation of Mitt Romney.
The storm was still hundreds of miles from the tip of
Florida on Wednesday, with maximum sustained winds of
45 mph. Forecasters warned there was still a great deal of
uncertainty with Isaac, and it could miss the state altogeth-

KABUL, Afghanistan The
Afghan government blamed foreign
spy agencies for a rising number of
killings where government soldiers
and policemen have gunned down
their international partners, and
ordered stricter vetting of recruits
and screening of those in the
350,000-member Afghan security
force.
The United States had no informa-
tion suggesting that the insider
attacks were the work of foreign
intelligence services, a senior U.S.
defense ofcial said. Instead, he said
attacks typically are carried out by
Afghans acting on their own,
although some might have had help,
on occasion, from insurgent net-
works. The ofcial spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity to discuss intelli-
gence information about the attacks.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai
summoned members of his national
security council to the palace for an
unscheduled meeting to discuss
cases where members of the Afghan
security forces or militants wearing
their uniforms have turned their
weapons on foreign troops. So far
this year, there have been 32 insider
attacks against coalition forces,
resulting in 40 deaths, according to
the NATO military alliance. Thats
up from 21 attacks for all of 2011,
with 35 killed.
The reports presented by the
security ofcials in this meeting
blamed the inltration by foreign spy
agencies into Afghan security force
ranks as responsible for the rise in
the individual shootings, Karzais
spokesman Aimal Faizi said.
He said the foreign agencies were
trying to undermine condence in
the Afghan security forces.
The investigation done so far
shows theres denite inltration by
foreign spy agencies, Faizi told a
small group of international journal-
ists he invited to the palace to discuss
the national security council meet-
ing.
Asked if the foreign spy agencies
suspected included those from
neighboring countries, Faizi said,
Neighboring countries included,
but I dont want to name any coun-
try.
In the past, intelligence agencies in
neighboring Iran and Pakistan have
been accused of enabling Afghan
insurgents to destabilize the country.

WASHINGTON The recovery
of the U.S. housing market is look-
ing steadier and more sustainable, a
trend that will likely add to econom-
ic growth in 2012 for the rst time
in seven years.
Purchases, construction and
prices are gradually but consistently
increasing, though they remain far
below levels seen in a healthy econ-
omy.
Sales of previously occupied
homes rose 2.3 percent in July from
June to a seasonally adjusted annual
rate of 4.47 million, the National
Association of Realtors said
Wednesday. Over the past 12
months, sales have jumped more
than 10 percent.
New-home sales have been
strengthening, too. Toll Brothers, a
builder of high-end homes, said
Wednesday that its enjoying its
most sustained demand in more than
ve years.
The evidence that the housing
market is recovering ... is fairly clear
across a wide range of reports, said
John Ryding, an economist at RDQ
Economics, a forecasting firm.
Housing is now becoming a small
positive for the economic outlook.
Thats a big change for an indus-
try that has been a major drag on the
economy since the housing bubble
burst more than five years ago.
Michelle Meyer, an economist at
Bank of America Merrill Lynch,
forecasts that home construction
will add 0.2 percentage points to
growth this year. That would make
2012 the rst full calendar year in
which housing has added to growth
since 2005.
Other recent reports add to the
picture of an improving housing
market, though one thats recover-
ing at a painfully slow and uneven
pace.
Home prices are rising nation-
wide. They increased 2.2 percent
from April to May, according to one
leading index. That was the second
straight increase after seven months
of at or declining prices.
The median U.S. home price rose
9.4 percent in July compared with a
year earlier to $187,300, the
Realtors group said. That was the
biggest annual gain in 6 1/2 years.
One reason for the increase is that
foreclosed homes, which usually
sell at steep discounts, are making
up a smaller proportion of sales than
they did a year ago.
Builders, meanwhile, are growing
more condent because theyre see-
ing more trafc from potential buy-
ers.

WASHINGTON Over six
frightening months, a deadly germ
untreatable by most antibiotics
spread in the nations leading
research hospital. Pretty soon, a
patient a week was catching the bug.
Scientists at the National Institutes
of Health locked down patients,
cleaned with bleach, even ripped out
plumbing and still the germ per-
sisted.
By the end, 18 people harbored
the dangerous germ, and six died
of bloodstream infections from
it. Another five made it through
the outbreak only to die from the
diseases that brought them to
NIHs world-famous campus in
the first place.
It took gene detectives teasing
apart the bacterias DNA to solve the
germs wily spread, a CSI-like saga
with lessons for hospitals every-
where as they struggle to contain the
growing threat of superbugs.
It all stemmed from a single
patient carrying a fairly new super-
bug known as KPC Klebsiella
pneumoniae that resists treatment by
one of the last lines of defense,
antibiotics called carbapenems.
We never want this to happen
again, said Dr. Tara Palmore,
deputy hospital epidemiologist at the
NIH Clinical Center.
Infections at health care facilities
are one of the nations leading caus-
es of preventable death, claiming an
estimated 99,000 lives a year.

OPINION 9
All rape is legitimate
and all rape is preventable
Editor,
We were horried when we heard
U.S. Rep. Akins recent comments on
rape. Mr. Akin, a Republican nominee
for Senate, stated he is pro-life in all
circumstances, including rape, because
rape rarely leads to pregnancy, From
what I understand from doctors [preg-
nancy from rape] is really rareIf its
a legitimate rape, the female body has
ways to try to shut that whole thing
down.
All rape is legitimate. Limiting the
denition of rape is inexcusable and
can have a lasting impact on victims
and survivors of rape. Rape is the most
underreported crime in the United
States, and callous comments like Mr.
Akins contribute to a victim-blaming
culture, where survivors suffer in
silence for fear of not being believed.
These comments perpetuate a dan-
gerous myth that further shames vic-
tims who do get pregnant as a result of
rape. A study by the Centers for
Disease Control estimates 32,101 preg-
nancies result from rape each year in
the United States.
We would like the national dialogue
regarding rape to focus on investing
resources into programs that prevent
sexual violence and increase access to
supportive services for all survivors of
rape.
Mr. Akins beliefs afford us a tremen-
dous opportunity to join together and
demand more from our elected of-
cials. We can all be a part of preventing
sexual violence and creating a culture
where we wont tolerate attitudes that
allow rape to occur in our communi-
ties.

Michelles dismissal of my efforts to

vicious threat to pour sugar into the

Letters to the editor
By Gene Mullin
A
sidelight to the more substan-
tive issues of the current pres-
idential campaign is the Mitt
Romney tax return releases. This past
week, the candidate revealed that he
had reviewed his returns for the past 10
years and discovered he had paid no
less than 13 percent per year for that
period. There was no hint of chagrin
that the 13 percent is below the average
paid by middle income earners and not
close to the 35 percent tax bracket his
class is technically assessed.
So the question is why the reluctance
to release returns, a fairly standard pro-
cedure followed by most candidates
over the years? While we will likely
never know, heres my assessment of
his reasoning, from least likely to most
likely:
1). He has paid no taxes for the 10
years prior to 2010 as recklessly
charged by Senate leader Harry Reid.
Undoubtedly not the reason, because
hes now on record of his 13 percent
plus levels and no one has suggested
his honesty should be questioned. So
its not the reason.
2). Examination of his returns, rang-
ing in the 13 percent area would make
the extension of Bush era tax cuts for
the top 1 percent at least modestly
embarrassing, par-
ticularly when the
legal off-shore
accounts are fac-
tored in. Again, its
probably not enough
of an issue to
account for the
adamancy of non-
revelation.
3). He is philosophically opposed to
allowing folks to look at his tax strate-
gies. This is at least possible as he is
clearly a private person, both with
respect to his family life, past business
history and religion. This is negated a
touch because he released his 2010
returns and will further release his
2011 returns when completed (which
are likely pretty complex if theyre not
ready yet).
4). Maybe he failed to hit the 10 per-
cent tithe to the Church of Latter Day
Saints, which would be revealed by the
returns. Given the fact that hes a bish-
op of the Church, its quite likely that
his annual contributions are close to
that percentage, so I dont see that as a
sufcient reason for his reluctance.
5). More likely is that his returns may
show charitable contributions to liberal
or moderate causes which could under-
cut his conservative credentials. His
shifting positions on social issues,
already a focal point of campaign ads
could be ramped up if he dropped a few
dollars to Planned Parenthood or the
ACLU or organizations of a similar ilk.
6). Lastly, and in my mind the most
likely, is that there is some small indis-
cretion years back that would have
been a one day story without legs if
revealed early but could be a big deal if
outed now. Politics 101s central theme
is get the bad news out in a hurry and
dont try to cover up because the
cover-up is always worse.
Of course, all this is speculation
because thats all I have to go on. But
speculation that is distracting from the
important issues of the campaign, and
its an issue that will be continuing for
the next couple of months. It sure
would be nice if Mitt Romney would
end it all and answer the question of
what, if anything, he has to hide.

California Assembly, the former mayor

A taxing situation: Romneys returns
Whoa, daddy!

To really gauge the pulse of Americas political pref-

look no further than SeekingArrangement.com which
asked which presidential hopeful most women would
prefer to have as their personal sugar daddy.

more than 30,000 of its

wrong places but in
business they are quite
clear. Short answer
President Barack
Obama beat out Mitt
Romney 3 to 1. Thats
certainly not a statistic
voters are likely to see on a campaign commercial any
time soon.
But yes, 34.1 percent preferred Obama; 11.9 percent
preferred Romney; 11.1 percent said either would do
(obviously, the easy girls); and 42.9 percent wouldnt
choose either (obviously, uptight girls who adhere to
The Rules).
According to the companys press release, Despite
Romneys good looks, his starchy vanilla image may
be reason why he lost to Obama, at least where fac-
tors such as sexiness, personality, approachability and
likability matters. Theres also the tidbit that Obama
is funny and is known to be a good dancer.
Dancer? Sexiness? No wonder the Romney campaign
threw Paul Ryans abs into the mix.
Its no secret the sugar daddy poll doesnt quite
smack of legitimacy and the company undoubtedly
cares less about partisanship than riding the elections
coattails to bolster its own business.
Yet, why should this roundup be any worse a politi-
cal litmus test than any of the other ways pundits,
strategists and the media are using to test the waters?
Retailer Amazon, for example, offers the Election
Heat Map 2012 which analyzes political interest
based on what political books are being read in any
given state. As of Wednesday afternoon, 56 percent
went to so-called red books with a Republican slant.
California, specifically, still favored the red but less
so, with a near-even 51 percent. So what are these red
and blue books? Red bookers are choosing The
Amateur which takes aim at the Obama White House
while the blue base chose A Peoples History of the
United States. No room on the political color wheel
for books involving any shade of grey.
Over on the San Mateo County coast, the Half Moon
Bay Brewing Company is making a tradition of rolling
out alection bottles, all containing Pillar Point Ale
but differentiated by the presidential candidate on the
label. In 2008, the Obama Ale beat the McCain Ale 4-
1. Perhaps this years options will similarly mimic
whats brewing for Nov. 6.
Over in Stockton earlier this summer, the citys
minor league baseball team the Ports gave away presi-
dential seat cushions featuring the candidates likeness
on either side. What isnt really clear, though, is if one
showed their allegiance by turning the favored mans
face to the bleacher or to the backside. Neither sounds
particularly complimentary nor scientific.
The reality is expectations that any poll including
the ever-serious exit polls or dinnertime phone
inquiries by consulting firms can act as a crystal
ball is about as solid as relying on Punxsutawney Phil
for the weather report. Even a broken watch is correct
twice a day.
That said, heres hoping voters put a little more
thought into their presidential pick come November
than whether one is willing to pick up the tab and peel
large bills from the wallet.
How else can the electorate decide to play the field
with a new face or offer the existing guy a second
date?

NEW YORK Investors drew some
comfort Wednesday from signals that the
Federal Reserve is worried about the
slow pace of the U.S. economic recovery
feels more urgency about providing
help.
Stocks climbed back from lows after
minutes from the last major Fed meeting
were released. The Standard & Poors
500 index, down most of the day, eked
out a gain of 0.32 point to 1,413.49.
The Dow Jones industrial average
closed down 30.82 at 13,172.76. It was
down as much as 83 points earlier. The
Nasdaq composite index added 6.41
points to 3,073.67.
The price of gold rose, as it sometimes
does when investors think the Fed is
about to pump money into the economy.
Gold climbed $14 an ounce to $1,657,
its highest level since early May, in trad-
ing after the days ofcial close.
When investors expect stimulus from
the Fed, they sometimes buy gold in
anticipation of a weaker dollar or
because of ination fears.
The minutes, from a meeting July 31
and Aug. 1, showed that many mem-
bers of the Feds Open Market
Committee felt that additional action
would be warranted unless the economic
recovery shows substantial and sustain-
able strengthening.
The minutes also showed that many
ofcials favored pushing any increase in
short-term interest rates beyond the
Feds current target of late 2014. Many
economists think the target will be
pushed to mid-2015.
Doug Cote, chief market strategist at
ING Investment Management, wondered
why the Fed needed to act. He said
major economic data recently, including
on jobs and consumer spending, have
showed the recovery picking up.
Why do an extraordinary form of
stimulus in a moderately recovering
economy? he said.
On Wednesday, the National
Association of Realtors reported that
Americans bought more homes in July
than in June and prices rose, evidence of
a recovering housing market. The 2.3
percent increase in sales from June was
the rst gain in three months.
But the rate of home sales, at 4.47 mil-
lion annually, was below the pace of
April and May and well below the rate of
roughly 5.5 million that economists con-
sider healthy.

WASHINGTON A stalemate
between Democrats and Republicans
that ends up boosting taxes and slashing
federal spending in January would likely
thrust the nation into a 2013 recession
and cost 2 million jobs by the end of that
year, Congress top nonpartisan budget
analyst warned Wednesday.
The cautionary report by the
Congressional Budget Ofce, drearier
than a similar alarm it issued in May,
immediately raised the political stakes in
one of this election years signature con-
icts between the two parties.
Without an agreement between
President Barack Obama and Congress
by January, tax reductions on virtually
all taxpayers are scheduled to expire and
spending cuts will be imposed on hun-
dreds of popular domestic and defense
programs. That would plunge the nation
off a so-called scal cliff, which each
side is eager to blame on the other.
Together, the scheduled tax increases
and spending cuts would total nearly
$500 billion next year, the report said
a huge amount of activity to suck out of
a $16 trillion economy that is already
struggling. That would be the largest
annual reduction in the federal decit
compared to the size of the economy in
more than four decades, said Douglas
Elmendorf, the budget ofces director.
Doing that would probably lead to a
recession early next year, Elmendorf
told reporters. That scenario would
cause the economy to shrink by 0.5 per-
cent in 2013 and push unemployment up
to around 9 percent in the second half of
next year, according to the report.
Elmendorf said that would mean 2 mil-
lion fewer jobs than if the tax cuts are
renewed and the spending cuts averted.
The prospect of triggering a recession
added a new level of risk and complexi-
ty to this years high-prole political
ghts over sparking job creation and
curbing mammoth federal decits.
Congress warned of recession from budget stalemate
HP has $8.9B loss on
expected charge for EDS flop
SAN FRANCISCO Hewlett-Packard absorbed the
largest quarterly loss in its history as the Silicon Valley pio-
neer owned up to past mistakes that have left it scrambling
to adapt to a shifting technology market.
The loss of $8.9 billion announced Wednesday didnt
come as a surprise. HP telegraphed the news earlier this
month when it disclosed plans to take an $8 billion charge to
reect the shrinking value of Electronic Data Systems, a
technology consulting service it bought for $13 billion in
2008.
It represented another mortifying setback for a 73-year-old
company that once had the reputation for being a fountain of
innovation and a great place to work, to boot. Now, HP is
struggling to reverse perceptions that its becoming a tech-
nological dinosaur bogged down in bureaucracy as it slash-
es its work force to help offset a downturn in revenue.
Jurors begin deliberations in Apple patent case
SAN JOSE Jurors began deliberating Wednesday in a
multibillion dollar patent infringement case pitting Apple
against Samsung over the design of iPhones and iPads but
few experts were expecting a quick verdict.
After a three-week federal trial in San Jose, a jury of
seven men and two women picked from a pool of Silicon
Valley residents will try to decide if Samsung Electronics
Co. ripped off Apple Inc. designs or whether Apple wronged
Samsung.
PayPal to offer in-store payments through Discover
SAN JOSE PayPal is expanding its brick-and-mortar
payment services to more than 7 million stores across the
U.S. in a partnership with Discover Financial Services.
EBay Inc.s payments unit said Wednesday that retailers
that take Discover cards will be able to process PayPal pay-
ments beginning next year. People will be able to pay using
PayPal cards and later, mobile devices.

Colts will still be in the mix
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Dont tell El Camino
football coach Mark
Turner that his team
wont be in the mix to
challenge for the
Peninsula Athletic
Leagues Lake Division
title again this year.
In a way (were
rebuilding). At the same
time, Im coming in
very optimistic, Turner
said. We lost a lot of
guys. But in my mind,
were the defending
champs.
Two things can be equally true. The Colts are
defending Lake Division champions, sharing that
honor with Carlmont and Capuchino last year. But
they also must replace a number of star players from
the 2011 campaign, including their starting quarter-
back and running back.
The good news for Turner and the Colts, howev-
er, is they should be solid on both the offensive and
defensive lines and many of the open positions will
be lled by incoming members of last years frosh-
soph championship team.
Were getting a couple kids coming up who can
make a difference, Turner said.
Senior Jarrod Goff and junior Mario Popoca both
return as starters on the offensive and defensive
lines, giving the Colts experience at leadership at the
point of attack. Offensively, having some experience
up front should make things a bit easier for corner-
back-turned-running back Anthony Hines, who was
an all-division selection on defense last season. This
year, however, he will not only be asked to increase
his workload by playing offense, hell have to do it
from a position he hasnt played at the high school
level. On top of that, he does not have a prototypical
running back build.
Hes built like a receiver, Turner said. Hes
mature enough (to handle the job), hes smart
enough. Hes just lean and eet. Hes going to have
carry the load.
At least, Turner said, the experience on the offen-
sive line should help make things easier for Hines to
adjust to a new position.
If I had to choose, Id like to be strong up front,
Turner said.
Not only does the Colts prime running back not
have a lot of experience, neither does their new quar-
terback. Christian Santos is a junior who was the
presumptive starter for the frosh-soph team the last
two seasons, but he missed the second half of the
2010 season with a shoulder injury and then missed
all of 2011 with another injury.
New coach, same formula for HMB
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A new era of Half Moon Bay High School football
has begun.
So, rst things rst, lets address the elephant in
the room.
We know we cant replace Matt (Ballard), said
Half Moon Bay head coach Keith Holden, who takes
over for Ballard after 10 seasons, a 57-48-1 overall
record and a CCS title in 2005. Hes been one of the
best coaches in school history. Its been fairly
smooth as far as the transition. We changed some of
the things, the format of the practice and stuff like
that, but we were planning to do that when Matt
(Ballard) was still going to be around here. So, our
kids are resilient and weve actually been pretty pos-
itive. Our kids are having fun, theyre playing foot-
ball.
Holden inherited the reigning Peninsula Athletic
League Ocean Division champions after a season in
which the Cougars came out of nowhere to go 5-0 in
league. So the good news is, talent and heart-wise,
Half Moon Bay can claim they have a strong foun-
dation heading into 2012.
The not-so-good news is their championship
means a promotion to the Bay Division where
theyll probably be undersized and outnumbered.
The Bay Division is the premiere division,
Holden said, its a tough division, everyone here is
aware of that. We know we have our work cut out for
us. But were going to adapt. The good news for us,
a lot of people dont feel we can compete at this
level. Our kids arent going to make any excuses,
theyre going to go out there and compete.
Theres not a lot of pressure on us to do well,
Holden continued. I believe our kids play better
when theyre faced with adversity better and big-
ger games. They play better when theyre supposed
to lose. I think our team takes it personally when
people say theyre not good enough to compete in
this league. I think our kids take a lot of pride in
what they do.
The most glaring change for the Cougars will be
on offense. According to Holden, Half Moon is
going with the triple option.

Half Moon Bays Joseph Lowman was so
important to the Cougars, not only did he
earn Defensive Player of the Year honors,who
also was plugged in on the offensive line.
A
nyone who follows high
school sports with any
regularity knows its popu-
larity is going nowhere but up.
There are newspapers and dozens of
websites devoted to the coverage of
high school sports, with blogs, sto-
ries, updated stats, photos and
records all available.
Ryan Kruizenga and
TeamZoom.com are looking to take
high school sports to the next level.
The startup out of Atherton has
devised a system that sets up video
cameras in gyms and on football elds that will allow con-
tests to stream live over the Internet for fans to watch.
More importantly, TeamZoom represents a new way to
raise funds for struggling athletic departments. With sub-
scriptions set at $30 per month, or $5 per game, half of all
revenue generated go back to the schools.
The interest in high school sports is only increasing. Its
all going up, said Kruizenga, a native of Minnesota who
moved to the Palo Alto area about ve years ago. (But)
there are no funds for high schools. I just think [this] is a
real innovative fundraising program. It is an actual product
people should want. If we get 100 subscribers, on average,
wed raise roughly 12,000 bucks for each school.

SPECIAL TO THE DAILY JOURNAL
In light of the Melky Cabreras 50-game sus-
pension for testing positive for a performance-
enhancing substance, Giants management
needs to make some important decisions about
certain players past and present for the
long term health of the franchise.
As a Giants season ticketholder, I dont think
I am in the minority by saying that most San
Francisco fans are getting sick and tired of see-
ing Giants players involved in these incidents.
With the just announced Bartolo Colon sus-
pension, both Bay Area professional baseball
teams are in the spotlight in a negative way.
Like Cabrera, Colon tested positive for testos-
terone and was given a 50 game suspension
that was handed down just prior to the As-
Twins game Wednesday afternoon.
The Cabrera suspension really hurt. San
Francisco is in the middle of a pennant race
and battling the hated Dodgers and defending
champion Arizona Diamondbacks in the
National League West and then wham!
the Giants get the news that they lose their No.
3 hitter. Cabrera was leading the league in hits
and had become the catalyst for the rejuvenat-
ed 2012 Giants offense, which was last in
almost every offensive category in 2011. With
Pablo Sandovals return, a middle of the order
lineup consisting of Cabrera, Buster Posey,
Sandoval, and recently acquired Hunter Pence,
the offense was looking good, especially after
a 6-1 victory over the Washington Nationals
Aug. 14.
The following day, it all came crashing down
with the Cabrera announcement.
Giants management Brian Sabean, Larry
Baer and company should have known, or at
least been suspicious, and investigated Cabrera
more vigorously given his sudden hitting surge
last year in Kansas City.
With the Braves and Yankees (2007-2010)
Cabrera never hit higher than .274, got more
than 149 hits or scored more than 66 runs.
When he was released by the Braves in
October of 2010, he looked slow and out of
shape.
He signed as a free agent with the Kansas
City Royals where he jump started his career .
He batted .305 and had career highs in hits
(201), runs (102), home runs (18), and RBIs
(87).
This incident is really a major black eye for
the Giants image that has already been severe-
ly tarnished by Barry Bonds and BALCO,
Guillermo Motas second suspension (100
games in May), Jose Guillens link to PEDs in
2010 when he was San Franciscos starting
right elder as late as Game 162 of the 2010
championship season, and the long list of
Giants listed on the 2007 Mitchell Report. Of
the 89 players the list included, Marvin
Bernard, Bobby Estalella, Benito Santiago,
Armando Rios, Matt Herges, and two others
that joined the Giants later Guillen and
Miguel Tejada were named.
Like the Giants, the As have several players
that have been associated with steroid use like
Tejada, Jason Giambi, Mark McGwire and
Jose Canseco.
Everyone seemed to turn the other cheek as
Bonds was racing to the home run title and
breaking Hank Aarons sacred record. Now it
is time for Giants management to stop and
make a statement. It is time for Giants fans to
say, enough is enough. Mota or Cabrera
dont even think about bringing back. It would
be a hypocritical and public relations night-
mare to publicly denounce Bonds and tell
everyone that we believe all the evidence that
he was a cheat, but management should do
everything it can to keep him out of the organ-
ization.
The Giants can survive this but need to go
forward with the strong efforts and success
they have achieved over the past few years in
building their farm system and cultivating tal-
ent. Further, they must use the talented and
model citizens Tim Lincecum, Brandon
Crawford, Brian Wilson, and Brandon Belt.
So, if the Giants and As wants to make a
statement and send the right message to their
fans, they must start making some better deci-
sions starting now.

OAKLAND Coco Crisp homered, hit an
RBI double and scored three runs, and the
Oakland Athletics beat the Minnesota Twins
5-1 on Wednesday for their second straight
winning series.
Yoenis Cespedes hit a go-ahead two-run
single in the third inning that held up for
Tommy Milone, and Crisp also singled and
stole his 28th base to give the As a much-
needed boost only a couple of hours after
right-hander Bartolo Colon received a 50-
game suspension for a positive testosterone
test a day before he had been scheduled to
start the opener of a series at Tampa Bay.
Milone (10-9) allowed one run and two hits,
struck out five and walked one in eight
impressive innings to end a ve-start winless
stretch in which he had gone 0-3 since his last
victory, a 9-3 decision at Minnesota on July
14. He lowered his ERA to 3.87 from 4.03 and
became Oaklands second 10-game winner
after Colon, the 2005 AL Cy Young Award
winner while with the Angels.
Josh Reddick added an
RBI single for the As (67-
56), who moved a season-
high 11 games over .500
their best since nish-
ing the 2006 season at 93-
69. Thats the last year
Oakland reached the play-
offs, getting swept in four
games of the AL champi-
onship series by the
Detroit Tigers.
Oakland began the day a half-game out in
the AL wild-card race.
Minnesota starter Liam Hendriks (0-6) is
still searching for his rst major league win
after 13 career starts, and nine this season. The
right-hander allowed four runs and six hits in
ve innings and he didnt get much help
from the Twins stagnant offense, which man-
aged only three hits. Matt Carson had two of
them.
Not even one from the steady Josh
Willingham this time.

drove in a career-high ve runs, and the San
Francisco Giants beat the Los Angeles Dodgers
8-4 on Wednesday night to extend their NL
West lead to 2 1/2 games with their rst three-
game sweep at Dodger Stadium in ve years.
The Giants arrived in Los Angeles trailing
the Dodgers by a half-game and they leave with
their largest lead in a month. The Dodgers last
got swept at home by the Giants April 24-26,
2007.
The Giants avenged a three-game sweep by
the Dodgers in San
Francisco last month that
created a virtual tie atop
the division. Now the
Giants are ahead by their
biggest margin since a 2
1/2-game lead on July 25.

porting a defense that allowed only 12 goals.
So its no wonder that as the new season heats
up, the now-sophomore is on the short list of
the nations best players.
Dahlkemper, along with UCLA teammate
Zakiya Bywaters, are among 38 women iden-
tied as possible Player of the Year candi-
dates, the National Soccer Coaches
Association of America (NSCAA) announced
last week.
The Missouri Athletic Club (MAC)
Hermann Trophy watch list will be narrowed
down by NSCAA members from Division I
programs to 15 seminalists by November 29.
Member coaches and fans will then vote for
their top three choices and the nalists will be
announced December 6. The winners will be
announced at the awards banquet at the
Missouri Athletic Club on Friday, Jan. 11.
The MAC Herman Trophy is the highest
individual award in intercollegiate soccer pre-
sented annually in January during a banquet at
the Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis.
Its a big honor and I was shocked actual-
ly, Dahlkemper said. Just to be even be
named to the watch list, thats something that
got me super excited for
the season, gave me even
more momentum to push
myself, have another good
season and do all I can for
the team. We have really
high expectations this year
so hopefully we can work
together as a team and ful-
ll those goals and expec-
tations.
The individual expectations are high for
Dahlkemper in 2012 following a breakout
2011-2012. Dahlkemper earned third-team
NSCAA All-America honors as a freshman.
She was named to the All-Pac-12 Freshman
and First Teams and was one of ve players to
start all 21 matches. She also helped the
Bruins rank second in the conference in goals
against average (0.55) and shutouts (13).
Offensively, she tallied a pair of assists.
For those whove seen Dahlkemper perform
here on the Peninsula, her freshman season
may not come as a big surprise. What may be
surprising, however, is the fact she was a big-
time goal scorer for the Gators, who then
moved back defensively to keep the opposi-
tion at bay.
But Dahlkemper said, if anything, she feels
fortunate to have adapted to the college game
so quickly.
It was very difcult, she said, denitely
not easy. I think my national team experience
helped me a little bit just because girls
everyday are ghting for their spots and we
have amazing players on our team. So every-
day you have to bring it. Its denitely dif-
cult. Im holding myself to a higher standard
now than freshman year. I think freshman
year was all about trying to prove myself and
trying to gure out how I need to play, how I
needed to play with certain players. I think
now I have the experience with starting every
game and were just all super excited.
Dahlkemper said she got her college wake-
up call early in UCLAs rst game against
Bakerseld a match they went down 1-0
early.
I think thats maybe the moment that made
me open my eyes and say, Oh my gosh, I
cant mess around, this isnt club, this isnt
high school, this is college, Dahlkemper
said. We have a target on our backs, being
UCLA, so every team is going to bring their
best games.
UCLA doesnt just face the best competi-
tion in the nation with the likes of
Stanford, Cal and Washington State in the
Pac-12 theres also extreme competition
within.
We are actually sitting players [who] are
on the national team, on the bench,
Dahlkemper said. So, to have national team
players on the bench says a lot about the team
and about the depth. Its so competitive. Its
awesome. Especially at practice, it pushes
starters to play and keep their level or else
someone else can start over you.
Along with her great play in college,
Dahlkemper has always been in the mix for a
spot on the youth U.S. Womens Soccer
teams. Shes made appearances with the U-
17, is in the player pool for the U-20s and
attended a camp with the U-23s.
That would be amazing, Dahlkemper said
of one day donning the red, white and blue. It
would denitely be a dream come true. Im so
blessed to have chances with the U-20s. It did-
nt work out like I wanted it to (this year), but
hopefully. I think right now its about focus-
ing on UCLA and playing my game, being
consistent each game and helping the team
win. But denitely, off-season, thats on my
mind and if I get a call Ill be ready to bring
my best. We will see. Im keeping my goals
high and hopefully being able to reach them
some day.
And as far as school, the still undecided
sophomore said the transition has gone as
good as it can.
Its gone smoother than I thought it would
be, Dahlkemper said. I think Sacred Heart
Prep really challenges you. Now, after get-
ting my feet wet in high school, I knew what
to expect. Obviously the classes arent easy at
UCLA, but I think Sacred Heart Prep really
helped prepare me for college. Its been going
well.
So far, a spot on the watch list seems war-
ranted. In her season debut, Dahlkemper did
what she couldnt do last year and scored her
rst UCLA goal a game-winner against
UMass in the 52nd minute.
It was amazing, she said. It was a perfect
ball in from Chelsea Stewart. I didnt have to
do much. She did a lot of the work for me and
I just kind of tapped it in with my toe and
scored.
Dahlkemper among the nations best players

SANTA CLARA Offensive coordinator
Greg Roman said Wednesday that quarterback
Alex Smith has become savant-like in his
understanding of the San Francisco 49ers West
Coast system.
But one area where both Smith and the team
would like to see the eighth-
year veteran improve is in
his ability to recognize and
elude pass rush pressure.
Smith was sacked twice
and hit several other times
during his three series of
action in last weeks 20-9
exhibition loss to the
Houston Texans. It brought
back visions of last season,
when Smith was sacked a career-high 44 times,
more than any other NFL quarterback.
Smith has been sacked 179 times in 72 career
games, including playoffs, and the 49ers (No. 4 in
the AP Pro32) have focused this summer on
improving the protection in front of him.
The breakdowns in protection last year con-
tributed to San Francisco nishing 26th in the
NFL rankings in both total offense and sacks
allowed per play.
Wed like to get those numbers down, bottom
line, Roman said. There were far too many
unforced errors, a lack of execution on our part.
Thats something that has to improve, and thats
not just on the offensive line.
Smith, playing for his seventh offensive coordi-
nator in seven seasons last year, steadily grew in
Romans system as the year progressed. He n-
ished with the best season of his career while lead-
ing the 49ers to a 13-3 nish and a berth in the
NFC championship game.
Smith was ninth in the NFL with a career-best
90.7 passer rating, and coaches have raved about
his progress this year with a full offseason to
digest the offense.
He totally understands the offense now and all
the different things that we do, Roman said.
Hes really, really, really an intelligent, bright
football player. He is super smart, savant-like at
times, has great ideas, can recite things, x things.
Theres times a quarterback has to make a quick
decision. Alex is getting through his reads quick-
er, hes eliminating reads earlier and hes really
taking ownership of our offense.
Smith also is working on getting the football out
of his hands more quickly on passing downs. He
had a tendency to hold the ball too long last sea-
son.
But he also protected it better than any quarter-
back, throwing just ve interceptions, the fewest
in team history and the fewest in the league last
season for any regular starting quarterback.
Smith has played well during his ve series of
action in San Franciscos two preseason games,
completing 8 of 12 passes and compiling a 108.0
passer rating. He took the blame for the protection
issues that surfaced against the Texans after Smith
faced little pressure while completing all three of
his passes in the teams Aug. 10 preseason opener.

protection for QB Smith

NAPA Oakland Raiders backup quarter-
back Matt Leinart is OK to play after injuring
the index nger on his non-throwing hand but
still might be held out of Saturdays game
against the Detroit Lions.
Leinart, who received stitches in his nger
after being knocked out by an illegal hit by
Arizonas Ricky Lumpkin last week, attended
practice Wednesday but did not participate in
any team or positional drills.
The Raiders (tied for No. 23 in the AP Pro32)
said Leinart also passed a series of tests to
determine whether he suffered a concussion
from the jarring hit.
Hes ne to play, Oakland coach Dennis
Allen said. Whether we play him or not, I
dont know the answer to that yet. That will be
a game time decision.
Leinart wore a thick white bandage on his
nger but showed no other outward effects
from the hit while throwing passes on the side
during a period when the remaining three
Raiders quarterbacks practiced throws and
handoffs.
Allen noted that Leinart could wear protec-
tion around his nger if the team decides to
play him against the Lions.
The biggest adjustment will be handoffs,
Allen said. But we feel like weve got a splint
that we can put on where it wont be an issue.
Carson Palmer continued to take reps with
the starters while Terrelle Pryor replaced
Leinart with the second team offense. Kyle
Newhall-Caballero, an undrafted rookie from
Brown, worked as the No.3.
Pryor welcomed the additional work after
spending the past three weeks behind Palmer
and Leinart.

Hes not very experienced, but hes a smart
kid. He has some athleticism, Turner said.
He can only improve. Right now, hes
very condent, but he hasnt been hit yet.
Once things go live and he takes a hit or two
(well see where he is). If he can stay healthy,
I think he can be pretty good.
Turner believes if Santos elevates his game,
he has at least one receiver who can be a dif-
ference maker. Tajah Childs is a three-year
varsity player and he will be asked, for the
rst time, to be one of the Colts main offen-
sive weapons.
He could be a stud for us as a receiver,
Turner said. He probably has the best hands
our program has ever seen.
Turner is also hoping for big things from
Brandon Gip, who starred on the frosh-soph
team last year. He said Gip could be the Colts
Swiss Army knife a player who can do a
little bit of everything. Last year, he played
wherever the frosh-soph team needed him:
running back, quarterback and defensive
back.
Hes just an overall athlete. I think hell do
several things for us, Turner said. Hes kind
of a jack-of-all-trades skill guy.
Regardless of who the Colts have and do
not have, Turner still expects his team to live
up to the standards of El Camino football
that being a rugged, tough, physical squad.
No matter who our personnel is, we have
to punch people in the mouth. Thats El
Camino football. We just have to gure out
who can do it, Turner said. I feel were
young, but were going to improve. Nobody
has hit their ceiling yet. Theyre only going to
get better.

We think it suits us well, he said. We
have undersized lineman but three good run-
ning backs who we think are good athletes for
our team. We think it ts our personality and
our personnel.
The big piece of that, which doesnt get
enough credit, Holden said, is we have Don
Dias, our offensive line coach, whos been at
it 30-some-odd years and hes still with us.
Hes going to get a lot of kids to play at
(offensive line) at other schools to play well.
Were not extremely deep there, we dont have
a ton of size, but we try to do things the right
way and make up for some of lack of size with
some toughness.
Defensively, the Cougars have the luxury of
getting back the reigning PAL Ocean
Division Defensive Player of the Year in
Joseph Lowman, a linebacker who ies all
over the football eld.
Hes playing really well right now,
Holden said. Hes the heart and soul of this
team.
Hell be joined by Ben Thornton and John
Bali, who saw some time on the varsity last
season as a sophomore. Daniel Welsh is a
returning all-league cornerback and Neal
Seaton is expected to have a ne year for the
Cougars on the defensive line.
We know in order to compete, were going
to have to be scrappy, Holden said. Our
defensive coordinator is an aggressive guy.
We know that at times were going to have
bring extra guys. Were going to be aggressive
on defense. Were not going to sit back on our
heels and wait for stuff to happen, were going
to try to make plays.
Perhaps Half Moon Bays most potent
weapon this season will be the element of sur-
prise. Much like last year, no one really
expected the Cougars to do much in the Ocean
Division. With a new coach, new offensive
system and in a new division, the same can be
said about 2012. Holden and the Cougars
invite the challenge.
Our kids have not changed at all, Holden
said. Tough kids who overachieve, who
arent super athletic but are trying to do things
right and make up with that with the way they
play the game.
We have a lot respect for the teams in the
Bay. We know its going to be a battle every
week, Holden said. But, our expectation is
for us to compete. Were not feeling sorry for
ourselves. We look at it as we have an oppor-
tunity to play a bunch of football and thats
what were going to do. Were going to try and
do it right.

The best part: there is no cost to the schools.
TeamZoom assumes all the costs associated with
setting up the camera system, streaming the
games and managing the system. TeamZoom
will install upwards of two to three cameras in
both the gym and football eld and, based on a
schools schedule inputted into the system, will
turn on and off during scheduled games. The
cameras will not be operative during regular
school hours. Kruizenga said it takes two to three
weeks from initial inquiry to installation.
Even better still: all sports that participate in
the gym or the football eld can be videoed and
every level of the sport, not just varsity games,
will be recorded as well. Freshman and frosh-
soph programs, which get little attention, get as
much love from TeamZoom as the varsity team
receives.
The parents are the core here, Kruizenga
said. There are more parents than just varsity
parents. Its a cool tool to let those (freshman and
junior varsity) parents engage with their child. A
lot of the parents weve talked to have said it
would be so great. It would be great to put on
my iPad.
Dont expect NFL or college-style broadcasts,
however. Cameras wont zoom in and out, or run
replays. While the goal is to incorporate broad-
casters at a later date, the goal right now is to just
provide fans a chance to watch the game as if
they were there complete with the roar of the
crowd and the sounds coming from the public
address announcer.
Kruizenga said TeamZoom plans to start
recruiting the Peninsula Athletic League schools
in the beginning and would like to eventually
include coverage of other sports including cam-
eras at pools and baseball elds.
But for now, TeamZoom is just trying to drum
up support from schools and fans.
Our goal is to make our system so easy to
install that its a no-brainer, Kruizenga said. I
feel like your mainstream American is getting
more and more comfortable consuming media
through their computers or iPads.
If any high schools are interested in not only
helping publicize their athletes, but also in help-
ing to raise funds for athletic programs, contact
Kruizenga at Ryan.Kruizenga@gmail.com. You

Former Serra quarterback Andy McAlindon is
the perfect prototype drop-back quarterback: at 6-
5, 215 pounds, he has the size and arm strength
many Division I college programs covet.
It took him an extra year, but McAlindon is
now a Division I football player, accepting a
scholarship to Louisiana Tech University follow-
ing an eye-popping freshman year at American
River College outside of Sacramento during the
2011 season.
It took that extra year for McAlindon to open
the eyes of DI coaches because, unfortunately for
McAlindon, he was not in the perfect high school
system to highlight his abilities. In two years as a
starter for Serra in 2009 and 2010
McAlindon combined for 1,552 passing yards
and 11 touchdowns in the Padres run-oriented
system.
But McAlindon believed in his talents. He
enrolled at ARC for the 2011 campaign and had
the season of his life. In one year, he blew past
his high school numbers, setting the Beavers sin-
gle-season records for passing yards (2,875) and
touchdown passes (36) as he guided them to a
perfect 11-0 record.

The Burlingame boys basketball team took
another big hit during the offseason with the
transfer of junior point guard Frankie Ferrari to
Riordan in San Francisco, a decision he said he
made about the end of July, Ferrari said.
This comes on the heels of former coach Jeff
Dowds resignation around the same time.
Ferrari said the move was made strictly for
family reasons.
My little brother is a ninth grader there now,
so we thought it would be easier for me to keep
an eye on him, Ferrari said. Its great. The
coach is a good guy. Its a good place to be.
Ferrari said playing in the rugged West
Catholic Athletic League and challenging aca-
demics also played a factor is his decision to
transfer. He said his mother works in San
Francisco, so getting to Riordan is not an issue.
As a sophomore at Burlingame, he averaged
17.6 points during the 2011-12 season, with 6.3
assists, 3.8 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game.

I apologize to the fans, to my
teammates and to the Oakland As,
Colon said in a statement released by
the players association. I accept
responsibility for my actions and I
will serve my suspension as required
by the joint drug program.
He will miss the nal 40 games of
the regular season and the rst 10
games of the postseason if Oakland
advances that far. Any remainder of
the suspension would be served in a
future season, if Colon signs another
major league contract.
Its a shock, Oakland reliever
Grant Balfour said. Hes a guy that
were denitely relying on right now.
I guess you could say its bad timing
any time, but especially now.
Oakland, which hasnt made the
playoffs since 2006, began
Wednesday a half-game out in the AL
wild-card race. The As were prepar-
ing for an afternoon series nale
against Minnesota when they got the
news from clubhouse televisions. A
closed-door team meeting was called.
The Oakland Athletics are disap-
pointed to learn of todays suspen-
sion, the team said in a statement.
General manager Billy Beane
received word from MLB earlier
Wednesday and began searching for a
starter to take Colons turn in the rota-
tion Thursday at Tampa Bay. Tyson
Ross will be called up from Triple-A
Sacramento.
Beane addressed the As in the club-
house before the team took the eld
for pregame warmups.
Listen, its disappointing. From a
baseball standpoint, were scram-
bling, Beane said. Were all disap-
pointed, not just for the Giants and the
As, but for baseball.
The 39-year-old Colon is 10-9 with
a 3.43 ERA in 24 starts this season,
his rst with the As, and has a 171-
122 record in 15 big league seasons. A
two-time All-Star, the burly right-han-
der won the 2005 AL Cy Young
Award after going 21-8 for the Los
Angeles Angels.
Colon will lose the remaining
$469,945 of his $2 million base salary
this year. He also has earned $750,000
in performance bonuses based on
starts and $150,000 based on innings.

BERKELEY Californias reno-
vated Memorial Stadium has passed
its rst test and now the Golden Bears
are ready to see it lled up on game
day.
The players practiced running onto
the eld for pregame introductions
Tuesday night, there were test runs for
the lighting, the PA system, clocks
and concession stands, and even the
band was on hand.
Taking the eld we had the smoke
and all of that and we ran through it,
coach Jeff Tedford said Wednesday.
It had a game feel to it actually.
People were anxious. Even walking
on the eld I had butteries a little bit
walking out there. Its just a feel walk-
ing out to the stadium the way we
always do it. It was exciting.
Tedford said the only glitch were
some problems with the play clock
but nothing that should stop the $321
million seismic retrot and renovation
from being ready for the opener
against Nevada on Sept. 1.
The Bears have already had a cou-
ple of practices at the new stadium
and will be in there all next week to
get ready for the season opener.
It will be the rst game on campus
since 2010. Cal played last season at
the San Francisco Giants home,
AT&T Park, across San Francisco
Bay.
I heard more than once a lot of
people saying, Its great to be home,
great to be back in here, Tedford
said.
The stadium, which was built in
1923, underwent a complete overhaul
after the 2010 season. Everything but
the outer facade and the seating bowl
on the east side of the stadium was
rebuilt from the ground up to make
the stadium, which is on an earth-
quake fault, safer and more modern.
The stadium is attached to a new
$150 million High Performance
Center that has given Cal state-of-the-
art facilities that were much needed.
It feels like the same place, just a
few more bells and whistles it seems
like to me, Tedford said.
Cal holds mock game at renovated stadium
the rst inning before settling down
and retiring 13 straight batters. But
he became unhinged to start the
sixth, giving up three consecutive
hits. An RBI single by Pablo
Sandoval chased Capuano. The left-
hander allowed six runs and six hits
in ve-plus innings, struck out two
and walked none.
Arias hit a two-run homer in the
rst, giving the Giants a 3-0 lead
after Sandovals sacrice y. Those
two struck again in the sixth,
Sandoval with an RBI single and
Arias with a run-scoring double.
Shawn Tolleson gave up a bases-
loaded walk that scored Sandoval
and extended the Giants lead to 6-0.
The Dodgers rst run came on
Hanley Ramirezs RBI single in the
sixth.
Arias two-run RBI double off
Jamey Wright in the seventh made it
8-1.
The Dodgers rallied with three
runs in the eighth to trail 8-4. Matt
Kemp hit a run-scoring ground-rule
double against Clay Hensley and
Luis Cruz hit a two-run single with
the bases loaded off Santiago
Casilla before A.J. Ellis hit into an
inning-ending double play.
Giants left elder Justin Christian
ran full speed toward the left eld
corner and robbed Juan Rivera of
extra bases with a diving catch on
the warning track in the seventh
with a runner on rst base.

With nods to nostalgia, exotic motifs and
tailored contemporary looks, the fall season in
decor has lots to inspire home decorators.
A warm palette of garnet, plum, sapphire,
olive, chocolate, mustard and cream mixes
with soft yet textural fabrics and muted
metallics as our focus moves back indoors.
VINTAGE AMERICAN
Apparently, we are all supposed to be mak-
ing butter and putting up jam this fall; many
retailers showed kits with the makings for
farm table goodies.
Williams-Sonoma had kits for making
cheese and butter, along with pretty wooden
molds. Expanding their Agrarian line beyond
the popular chicken coop, the retailer now has
an old-school cider and wine press, and a
grain mill, should you feel compelled to try
your hand at our making. There were Mason
jars, lengths of colored twine and paper tags
for gifting.
West Elm showed several different table
garden kits, and even a Mason jar cocktail
shaker.
Gingham, potato prints and buffalo checks;
rough linen, burlap and cotton homespun tex-
tiles; earthy, rustic ceramics; chunky knitted
pillow covers and throws; and galvanized-
metal storage containers were all part of home
retailers fall previews.
Distressed and salvaged wood furniture and
forged iron accessories also are part of this
look, so watch for affordable examples if it
appeals. Grandin Road has mirrors and wall
hooks made of old yardsticks. Pottery Barn
has the Conner collection of reclaimed pine
tables with limestone tops, and the Olivia
bench with a weathered blue nish. Here too:
candle holders fashioned out of old whiskey
barrels and olive oil crates.
Rejuvenation Lighting is reproducing O.C.
Whites foundry-made task lighting from the
late 1800s, in both table and oor lamps.
Southern Lights spare, utilitarian bronze pen-
dants with Edison bulbs are vintage-inspired
but have a modern edge, with bright red cord-

Ligularia: One genus, two different flowers
By Lee Reich
Ligularia sounds like some kind of pasta or seafood, but no, its
a plant, a perennial ower that has captured my fancy.
I should say owers, because there are two species of ligu-
laria that could captured ones fancy. Despite some similarities,
they differ in their effect on the garden scene.
BIG LEAVES AND PRETTY FLOWERS,TO BOOT
The aptly named big-leaf ligularia (Ligularia dentata) sports
large, leathery, kidney-shaped leaves. With age, the plant billows
over the ground like a green cumulus cloud 3 or 4 feet tall and
wide. The leaves have some purple in them quite a bit in the
case of the variety Desdemona, whose leaves start out pure pur-
ple. As the leaves expand, their topsides turn green, but the pur-
ple color is retained below.
Like hosta, big-leafed ligularia could earn a place in the gar-
den just for its leafy show. And as with hosta, a oral show adds
icing to this cake. Big-leafed ligularias owers are 5-inch-diam-
eter yellow daisy heads that snuggle just above the foliage in late
summer. Flowers of the variety Sungold are a bit more promi-
nent, hovering higher above the cloud of foliage.
GRACEFUL WANDS OF SMALL,YELLOW BLOSSOMS
The other ligularia, Ligularia stenocephala, has no common
name. The variety called The Rocket is what you usually see of
this plant, and that name comes close to describing this ligular-
ias effect. More than stiff rockets, though, this ligularia sends up
graceful, tall wands packed loosely with small yellow owers.
The Rockets leaves grow in clumps like its cousins, but not
nearly so boldly. They are shaped somewhere between a dia-
mond and a heart, with toothed edges.
GET THE BEST OUT OF
EITHER, OR BOTH, LIGULARIAS
Current affections for both ligularias notwithstanding, in their
youth they only hint at future greatness. A truly bold presentation
comes only after the plants have lled out and spread a bit to cre-
ate billowing mounds of leaves with attendant masses of blooms.
One thing that slowed the path to glory for my big-leaf ligu-
laria was a rushed planting; I thoughtlessly set plants in the
ground in full sun in well-drained soil. Big-leaf ligularia might
enjoy full sun if planted along the edge of a stream, but ltered
shade suits it better in drier soils. The same could be said for The
Rocket.
Planning their companions brings out the best in both ligular-
ias. Hostas, astilbes and ferns all make visually congenial neigh-
bors for them, echoing in some ways and contrasting in others
the ligularias forms and colors.
My favorite combination is a row of The Rocket backed by tall
ostrich ferns, The Rockets yellow wands sweep across the upper
part of the verdant backdrop while, lower down, the broad leaves
contrast the ferns frilliness.

and argyle bamboo bar coasters indeed, barware in general
is a strong trend. Beer making kits, pilsner glasses, bar carts
and all the cocktail accouterments were ubiquitous at fall pre-
views in New York.
MID-CENTURY STAYS STRONG
If you havent bought your 60s-style walnut sideboard yet
because youre worried about the longevity of this trend, fret
not. Mid-century Modern isnt going anywhere for a while.
Retailers showed a deep commitment to the style, in both
furniture and accessories. You can nd original and faux ver-
sions of many iconic designs, such as the Noguchi amoeba-
shaped glass and wood table, Eames walnut and leather
chairs, and Saarinen tulip dining tables, at Allmodern.com and

Furniture maker Porky Hefer of Cape Town, South Africa,
has done a great group of turned-wood pendant xtures mod-
eled after childrens spinning tops. The shapes echo those
found in mid-century design, and theyd look great hung in
multiples over a tailored wool sofa (West Elm).
The hues of the era olive, almond, chocolate, orange
show up in soft furnishings, including throw pillows and cur-
tains. But theyre particularly striking in outsize art glass and
ceramics, which youll see lots of this season. The Blenko
Glass Company, an icon of the 50s and 60s, is partnering
with Rejuvenation this fall on a line of retro glass lamps.
Pottery Barn has the hefty Clift wine jug table lamps; Crate &

dant, Giannini said.
The defense has the burden to show Elarms is not competent
and, Giannini said, without a report proving otherwise, there
didnt seem a lot of point to spend time calling witnesses.
A Superior Court plea and trial date will be entered Sept. 17.
Elarms faces life in prison without parole on charges of rst-
degree murder and gun use plus the special allegation of lying
in wait for the June 9, 2010 death of East Palo Alto activist
David Lewis. Before criminal proceedings were halted by the
competency question, prosecutors decided not to seek death.
His mental history was a primary reason as was the predomi-
nance of drug offenses on his extensive criminal record.
Elarms, of the East Bay city of Pittsburg, is accused of fol-
lowing Lewis, 54, from the San Mateo Medical Center where
he was an outreach worker to the parking lot of Hillsdale
Shopping Center on June 9, 2010. Just before 6 p.m., Elarms
allegedly pulled a .44-caliber gun and shot Lewis in the torso.
During a preliminary hearing on the murder and gun
charges, a San Mateo police detective testied that Elarms
believed gangmembers were after him and that Lewis, once his
friend, was now his opponent. Lewis uttered the name Greg
before dying but police made no arrests until contacted by
Elarms six months after the shooting.
Lewis was known as a community activist and rehabilitation
counselor who overcame addiction and incarceration.
Elarms remains in custody without bail.

fully crafted message and jeopardize the suc-
cess of his tax initiative.
Opponents are mocking his message that
voters can be assured their money will be han-
dled responsibly if the higher taxes are passed.
The critics also pounced on a scandal in which
state parks employees hid millions of dollars
while threatening to close dozens of parks.
One group opposing his initiative asked in a
radio ad this week: What else are they keep-
ing from us?
The bad news for Brown also includes a dis-
closure of pay raises to legislative staffers
already making six gures. And at a time when
he says the state does not have enough money
for schools, he approved the rst stage of a $68
billion high-speed rail system and announced
plans for a $24 billion tunneling system to
move water from north to south.
His initiative also faces several competing
tax questions, including a well-nanced cam-
paign to raise state income taxes for education
and dozens of tax increases pushed by local
governments.
It all adds up to a tough sell for a governor
who says he wants to end the states cycle of
crippling budget decits.
As Brown kicked off his campaign for
Proposition 30 at a Sacramento high school
last week, he sought to emphasize that most of
the revenue from the tax increases would come
from Californians who are among the wealthi-
est; an extra $4,500 a year for millionaires, he
said.
This is not about any other issue. Its not
about pensions, its not about parks. Its about
one simple question, the Democratic gover-
nor told reporters outside the school. Shall
those whove been blessed beyond imagina-
tion give back 1 or 2 or 3 percent for the next
seven years, or shall we take billions out of our
schools and colleges to the detriment of the
kids standing behind us and the future of our
state?
Brown continued his campaign tour at a San
Francisco school on Wednesday, where he
acknowledged that the tax initiative is a tough
sell, but urged voters not to take out their frus-
trations with politicians on children.
Theres a lot of naysayers out there saying,
Oh, theres something wrong in government,
or These politicians are doing something,
therefore, punish the kids, Brown said.
The budget Brown signed into law this sum-
mer includes about $6 billion in automatic cuts
to schools, higher education and other state
programs that could take effect if voters reject
the tax increases a tactic intended to help
sell it because voters are more inclined to raise
taxes for education than any other cause. Some
school districts could cut three weeks from the
school year if the tax initiative fails.
Proposition 30 calls for higher tax rates on
incomes of more than $250,000 for seven
years and a quarter-cent increase in the
statewide sales tax for four years.
Brown is keeping a campaign promise not to
raise taxes without a public vote, but has been
forced to defend himself against problems not
of his making.
Legislative leaders were compelled to
acknowledge that they had handed out hefty
pay raises to staffers, including some who
already had six-gure salaries.
Then it was revealed that a bureaucrat in the
state parks department had authorized a secret
vacation buy-back program for senior staffers,
netting them thousands of dollars each, and
Browns administration revealed that state
parks ofcials kept $54 million hidden for
more than a decade as Californians were being
asked to help save 70 parks.
That led to an investigation into accounting
irregularities in hundreds of other special
funds, many of them financed by voter-
approved fees and taxes.
Convincing voters to tax themselves is
always an uphill ght, but every one of these
incidents over the summer makes his path a lit-
tle bit steeper, said Dan Schnur, director of
the Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics at the
University of Southern California and a former
Republican consultant.
The high-speed rail plan, which has come
under intense criticism, already has been tar-
geted by the opposition campaign, which
seized on the summers missteps as evidence
that politicians cant be trusted with more tax
revenue.
The No on 30 campaign released an Internet
video coinciding with the end of the
Legislatures summer recess to welcome
politicians back from vacation, using televi-
sion coverage of the scandals and mis-
spending.
All of these issues speak to the manage-
ment of our tax dollars in Sacramento ... and
that is a part of this discussion on Prop. 30,
said Joel Fox, president of the Small Business
Action Committee and a spokesman for the
opposition campaign.
California voters are generally not inclined
to support tax increases and have rejected the
last eight statewide measures on the ballot,
including a June proposal to raise taxes on cig-
arettes to fund cancer research.
They are far more likely to support taxes on
the rich rather than themselves, but Browns
initiative includes a sales tax hike that under-
cuts that selling point. This year, he persuaded
union supporters to drop a more popular mil-
lionaires tax in favor of his plan.

Are your windows leaking air? Are
they getting more difficult to open? Is
the wood frame rotting?
Homeowners choose to replace their
windows for a variety of reasons, from
energy efficiency to aesthetics.
It might be the seals have failed or
the wood has rotted, said Kerry
Haglund, senior research fellow at the
Center for Sustainable Building
Research at the University of
Minnesota.
Or homeowners might be looking to
replace leaky windows to keep heat or
air conditioning in, or they might want
added UV protection to protect furni-
ture from fading in the sunlight.
No matter what the motivation, new
windows can be costly. Theyre too
expensive to think youre going to get
your money back either in terms of
energy savings or when youre selling
your house, said Kit Selzer, a senior
editor for Better Homes and Gardens.
Still, new energy-efficient windows
can make your home more comfortable
in winter and summer, and more attrac-
tive. Haglund recommends choosing
the most energy-efficient window you
can.
The cost for a new window can range
from hundreds of dollars to $1,000 or
more, depending on the frame, style
double-hung or casement, for example
and whether you choose single, dou-
ble or triple pane glass. Decorative ele-
ments can add to the price.
A casement window might be be a
good option in windy areas, said Gary
Pember, vice president of marketing for
Simonton Windows. As the wind
increases, they become more efficient
because of the way they seal, he said.
A double-hung that opens only from
the top might be a good choice for
someone looking for increased security,
he said.
Older homeowners or those who
think theyll stay in their homes as they
age might want to consider a window
they dont have to lift.
Frames come in wood, vinyl, alu-
minum and other materials.
Wood frames are more traditional,
but require regular painting.
If youre wanting something mainte-
nance-free, you cant get anything bet-
ter than vinyl, Pember said. There are
many options now for vinyl frames,
including a variety of colors. You can
also get a wood interior and a vinyl
exterior.
Selzer said aluminum frames are
more contemporary, but also more
expensive.
Most windows sold today are double
pane, although people in northern cli-
mates may choose a triple pane,
Haglund said. Single pane is still
available in southern climates, though
we dont recommend it.
Windows must meet an areas build-
ing energy code, she said.
Windows in the North are optimized
to reduce heat loss in the winter, while
windows in the South are optimized to
reduce heat gain during the summer,
according to the governments Energy
Star website. This explains why win-
dows that are energy efficient in Florida
will not necessarily be energy efficient
in Michigan.
The Energy Star and National
Fenestration Rating Council labels can
help you compare windows. Consumers
may be most familiar with the U-factor,
which tells you how much heat can
escape through the window. The labels
also include information on how much
light and heat from the sun is transmit-
ted through the window.
While Haglund urges homeowners
not to scrimp on energy efficiency, she
said there are other ways to save money
short of full window replacement.
A new window can be fitted into
existing frames that are in good condi-
tion.
Or, she said, you can replace just the
sash the part of the window that con-
tains the glass. Again, this would only
work if the frame is in good condition.
If you decide not to invest in new
windows, you can increase the energy
efficiency of your existing ones:
Storm windows are certainly a good
idea, Selzer said.
Use caulk or weatherstripping to seal
any leaks around the frame.
And insulating draperies or other
window treatments also can help
increase comfort. Theyre so much
more tailored and thinner than they
used to be, she said. Old insulating
treatments were very bulky, like putting
up blankets. Now, theyre certainly
sleek and more effective.
Lots of options for homeowners replacing windows
New energy-efcient windows can make your home more
comfortable in winter and summer, and more attractive.

ing a middle school serving up to 240
students in sixth through eighth grades
at 6-8 and 10 Davis Drive in Belmont.
The project which neighbors
Ralston Middle School, Water Dog
Lake and commercial/office buildings
has not been welcomed by the city.
When heard by the Planning
Commission in July, the five-hour pub-
lic hearing ended with basically no
support for the proposal.
Andrea Edwards, director of devel-
opment for Crystal Springs Uplands
School, explained the school is increas-
ing the monetary offer because it really
wants to be in Belmont but also wants
to respond to concerns.
Councilwoman Coralin Feierbach
isnt interested in the increased funds.
Money doesnt buy my vote. If a
project is wrong, if its in the wrong
place, it affects the neighborhood,
said Feierbach, who added she would
welcome the project on the east side of
Highway 101.
Since Crystal Springs Uplands
School is a nonprofit and tax-exempt,
the schools previous development
offer guaranteed $175,000 to the city
annually. In an Aug. 20 email to Mayor
Dave Warden, the offer was increased
to $250,000 with the ability to increase
2 percent with inflation. In addition,
the school is also offering a one-time
$1 million payment to be paid after the
school has been occupied for one year.
To put that into perspective, thats
$150,000 more than the site currently
provides in annual cash payments and
$50,000 more than the other Davis
Drive businesses provide total, said
Edwards.
The city and Belmont Fire Protection
District currently earn about $40,000 a
year in property taxes from the vacant
property. Local school districts and
other taxing agencies get another
$100,000 or so in property taxes from
the property.
Feierbach would prefer the area
remain an office park. She suggested
the school consider expanding at its
current location. However, Edwards
explained thats not an option.
Hillsborough has a town ordinance
limiting the enrollment capacity, she
said.
Throughout the process, noise and
traffic have been among the top com-
plaints from those against the proposal.
Among the proposed changes is to
enclose a pool, should one be built, to
mitigate possible noise. In terms of
traffic, other mitigated solutions have
been offered.
Lastly, the school continues to offer
access to the soccer fields on weekends
and during three weeks in the summer,
which it estimates as a $40,000 value
annually.
Currently, about 83,000 square feet
of commercial/office and warehouse
buildings and 165 parking spots are sit-
uated at 6-8 and 10 Davis Drive that
has stood vacant for years. Crystal
Springs Uplands wants to demolish the
current buildings and construct a
52,000-square-foot middle school with
a 60-space parking lot,
gymnasi um/ t heat er/ mul t i -purpose
room and an all-weather synthetic turf
playing field. The school could serve
up to 240 students but plans to have
216 students, 26 teachers and 10 addi-
tional staff.
The buildings current ownership has
said it has had little luck attracting
commercial tenants to the complex and
started negotiating with the private
school last year to purchase the land.
The sale has yet to be finalized, how-
ever.
Warden did not return a call for com-
ment.
The item is scheduled to go before
the City Council Tuesday, Sept. 11.

with 87 percent passing the mathematics
portion and 85 percent meeting the
English requirements the same local
passage rate as last year.
While Im happy about the progress
made by the class of 2012, I still have
concerns for the class of 2013, the class
of 2014 and all the classes that will fol-
low, State Superintendent Tom
Torlakson said in a prepared statement.
We have made solid improvement, but
schools and districts are facing some
unprecedented challenges right now.
Overcrowded classrooms, shorter school
years and fewer teachers are in store for
us unless we stop the cuts to education
funding and begin restoring some of
what has been cut in recent years.
Statewide, 84 percent of sophomores
taking the exit exam during the 2011-12
school year passed math and 83 percent
met the requirements in English. That
represents an increase of 1 percent in
each section. Passage rates for sopho-
mores in San Mateo County districts for
exams ranged from 81 percent to 91 per-
cent in English and from 82 percent to
91 percent in math.
For the third year in a row, the San
Mateo Union High School District had
the highest passage rate by sophomores
last year with 91 percent passing both
math and English. While the district
maintained its top stance, it also saw a
slight increase in passage by students
taking the test sophomore year. Within
the district, Burlingame High School
had the highest percentage of students
passing math 94. Mills High School
had the highest in English 95.
Students are rst allowed to take the
exam sophomore year, under the 1999
legislation. The class of 2006 was the
rst graduating class required to meet
the standard. Students are given the
opportunity to retake either portion up to
seven times through their senior year
until he or she has passed.
Most other districts showed mixed
results an increase in one and a drop
in the other.
The Sequoia Union High School
District had 88 percent of its students
pass math and 83 percent pass English.
The La Honda-Pescadero Unified
School District posted the same rates
the district does also have one of the
smallest test groups allowing for num-
bers to drastically change annually. For
example, last year 90 percent of its stu-
dents passed math but only 77 passed
English.
Jefferson Union High School District
had 85 percent passing both exams.
Cabrillo Unied School District had 82
percent passing the math portion and 84
passing the English. Students in the
South San Francisco Unified School
District took a drop in both tests from 86
percent to 83 in math and 81 in English.
Aside from passing, the test acts as a
gauge for a students understanding of
topics. Most districts have programs in
place to help students prepare for the
CAHSEE, including additional help in
math or English should a student not
pass one portion of the test.

CAHSEE
THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 2012
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your powers of observa-
tion are especially sharp, which is well and good,
provided you dont start nitpicking to others about
things you think theyre doing incorrectly.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Possibilities for gain look
better than usual for you. In fact, when it comes to
a group involvement, you will likely be the one who
guides things to a fnancially successful conclusion.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Taking pride in what you
do is an admirable thing. However, being proud purely
for vanitys sake is something else again. Be able to
distinguish between the two.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- To operate more
effectively, you should do your best not to call attention
to yourself or your activities. If you allow outside infu-
ences to get involved, youll get thrown off course.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Although you might
think that youd enjoy a little solitude, youd be much
happier engaging in a group activity. Being a loner isnt
apt to pay off, spiritually or fnancially.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- An important objective
can be achieved if you give it your full dedication. If you
start questioning your convictions, however, things are
likely to grind to a halt.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- This is an excellent day
to take on projects that require a creative touch and a
dash of imagination. Light up the room if youve got a
bright idea.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Being infexible almost
always works against you, especially if you happen
to be involved in a joint endeavor. Be as intellectually
mobile as possible.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- When it comes to matters
where you allow your feelings to color your judgment,
youll suffer. Do your best to keep emotions out of your
decision-making and to view things logically.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- An immense feeling of
gratifcation is likely to come from being of service
to another. Dont be reluctant to put yourself out for
someone.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your organizational abili-
ties are apt to be a shade or two sharper than usual, so
dont hesitate to use them to your advantage. Start with
tackling a big project or two.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It will be up to you to guide an
important endeavor to a successful conclusion. Take
things one step at a time, and make sure you dont
leave anything up to chance.
