BROWN: COMPROMISE WILL SAVE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The San Mateo Planning
Commission approved a resolution
last night that could allow for
greater ofce use on ground oors
in downtown depending on a future
City Council vote.
Many existing and older commer-
cial buildings are up to 130-feet
deep in the downtown corridor but
the current typical retail store depth
is not more than 75 feet, according
to a staff report.
To maintain a retail frontage in its
downtown core, the commission
approved a resolution last night that
recommends that the City Council
allow for alternative uses, such as
ofce space, in the rear of retail
buildings which are no longer
viable for retail use.
City staff had recommended man-
dating retail use for storefronts up to
60-feet deep but the Planning
Commission decided that a 40-feet
retail depth would be enough to
maintain the retail character of
downtown. The resolution the com-
mission passed last night, on a 4-0
vote, also dictates what percentage
of a storefront can be devoted to
retail uses and other uses. Smaller
storefronts would be allowed to
have up to 25 percent committed to
ofce use while larger storefronts
would be allowed to have up to 33
percent committed to ofce uses.
Many of the buildings downtown,
because of the era they were built,
are too deep to be attractive spaces
for retailers, according to a staff
report by Julia Yeh, associate plan-
ner with the city.
An independent report indicates
that only 10 percent to 20 percent of
the vacant 28,000 square feet of
ground-oor space will likely be
converted to ofce.

Opponents of plans for a new,
larger jail to ease overcrowding and
replace the dilapidated womens
facility denounced two possible
design ideas presented by the sheriff
yesterday and asked supervisors to
consider a third option no jail at
all.
Speakers before the Board of
Supervisors said it can honor exist-
ing construction contracts and pro-
vide union jobs by building mental
health and drug rehab facilities
rather than a jail. Many vowed to
ght a proposed sales tax measure
for county services because they
believe it was suggested to fund the
jails operating costs and several
said the programs and services
planned for the jail could be better
provided in the community.
The Chemical Way site in
Redwood City purchased for the jail
also came under re as a toxic
waste dumpsite.
If it cant have housing, why can
it have prisoners for years? asked
Tom Winebarger.
The supervisors did not directly
address the crowds concerns but
told Sheriff Greg Munks they liked
aspects of the two possible designs
he shared yesterday, particularly as
they relate to transitional housing

Leading collaboration throughout local
school districts and creating partnerships with
businesses and nonprots are top goals for the
two candidates running for a vacant seat on the
San Mateo County Board of Education.
Two candidates, educational nonprot direc-
tor Joe Ross and Jo-Ann Sockolov Byrne,
executive director for the Redwood City
Education Foundation, are running to ll the
area seven seat currently held by Memo
Morantes, who is not running for re-election.
Both visited the Daily Journal ofce Tuesday
to discuss the County Ofce of Education, its
board and what could be done better through-
out the county.
There is a lot in common for the two candi-
dates.
Both are parents with children attending
local schools in addition to actively being
involved in different districts in San Mateo
County. And both candidates are actively
involved with nonprots that work with sup-
porting local students in districts other than the
ones their children attend.
Both also believe the county Board of
Education could be doing more.
When it comes to offering more efciencies,
Ross would like to see the county ofce take a
leading role in projects that may not save the
district money like payroll and compliance
but could offer an expert so districts can
save a little work and money while getting a
person completely dedicated to the task.
Sockolov Byrne, for example, would like to
see the district working more with the county
Board of Supervisors. The supervisors, she
noted, fund many health services for families
both organizations serve.
I havent seen as much collaboration and
partnership between those two bodies as I
would like to see and help steward, she said.
Both were encouraged with the technology
leadership exhibited by the recent opening of
the state-of-the-art STEM Center, a profes-
sional development center for educators in the
areas of science, technology, engineering and
mathematics. The nature of the center will
allow for more partnerships with businesses.
However, each had different approaches to
what should be done next.
Sockolov Byrne was interested in a survey
of schools in districts that looked at what tech-
nology was available as well as how it was
being used. With that information, she said, the
county can better understand the needs as well
as the unintended consequences of not having
uniform access to technology within districts
or even a single school.
Ross would prefer the ofce take a role in
evaluating opportunities to use new technolo-
gy developed by local startups. Picking ones it
sees as viable and then presenting them to
local districts could result in stronger partner-
ships between schools and local businesses.
While a district could do that work, Ross said
the county could take the lead saving the dis-
trict time and money in doing the evaluations.
Both agreed the differences between the 23
school districts in terms of nances, technolo-
gy and academic achievement are vast far
greater than should be the case.
Ross is a proponent of making students com-
plete the requirements to apply to a state col-
lege or university a standard for graduation.
Not all San Mateo County districts have that
standard. Without it, he argued, kids are more
easily falling behind in a long-term goal of
graduating from college in a timely manner.
Sockolov Byrne, on the other hand, wanted
to see an increased conversation about creating
occupational training options for students who
dont plan to attend college.
Lastly, Sockolov Byrne wanted to work with
the community to create a better understanding
of the Ofce of Education what it can do
and its limitations.
For Ross, a goal would be to create opportu-
nities for creating a path for teachers to gain
more hands-on classroom experience before
becoming rst-year teachers. Such a model, he
said, would help by lowering the student to
teacher ratio and offering additional training
for teachers.
Area seven includes Las Lomitas, Menlo
Park City, Portola Valley, Ravenswood City
and Woodside Elementary school districts. The
seat is elected countywide.

On Tuesday, the state Senate
passed Senate Bill 1310, authored
by state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo
Alto, which would strengthen
Californias hands-free and no tex-
ting laws for motorists. The bill now
heads to Gov. Jerry Browns desk
for approval.
Senate Bill 1310 increases the base fines for violating
the hands-free cellphone and no texting while driving laws
from $20 to $30 for a first offense, and from $50 to $60 for
a subsequent offense. The increased fine revenue would be
used to establish and fund a distracted driving education
program in the California Office of Traffic Safety.
With penalties and fees, the total cost of a first offense
would rise from roughly $159 to approximately $199
(costs vary by county). The total cost of a second offense
would rise from roughly $279 to approximately $371.
In addition, a subsequent or second violation of the law
would add a point on a motorists driving record, serv-
ing as an added deterrent.
Legislation introduced by Assemblyman Rich
Gordon, D-Menlo Park, to establish consumer-owned
and operated plans (CO-OPs) in California as part of the
federal Affordable Care Act, passed the state Assembly
in a concurrence vote this week and now heads to the gov-
ernors desk, where he has until Sept. 30 to veto or sign it.
As provided under the ACA, CO-OPs are a new type of
nonprofit health insurer that are directed by its customers,
use premiums for customers benefit and are designed to
offer individuals and small businesses affordable, cus-
tomer-friendly and high-quality health insurance options.
Gordon introduced the bill to establish the necessary statu-
tory framework for the licensing and regulating CO-OPs
as the state continues to prepare for the implementation of
health care reform, according to Gordons office.

The council will also authorized preparation of a down-
town parking study in an amount not to exceed $62,493.
The study will look at the entire length of Laurel Street
and the adjacent residential area to determine parking
spillover, in particular due to Giants fans parking to use

ing their nonprot status if a bill approved by the state
Assembly becomes California law.
SB1140 seeks to allay concerns from clergy that if gay mar-
riage is legalized, they could be forced to perform gay wed-
dings that contradict their religious beliefs.
The bill passed the Assembly 48-24 Tuesday with many
Republicans voting no. It now returns to the state Senate.

Lawmakers denounce
anti-Semitism in colleges
SACRAMENTO An Assembly res-
olution urging California colleges and
universities to squelch nascent anti-
Semitism also encouraged educators to
crack down on demonstrations against
Israel, angering advocates for Muslim stu-
dents.
With no debate, lawmakers on Tuesday
approved a resolution that encourages
university leaders to combat a wide array
of anti-Jewish and anti-Israel actions.
California schools need to recognize
that anti-Semitism is still a very real issue
on college campuses around the state
it did not disappear with the end of World
War II, said Assemblywoman Linda
Halderman, R-Fresno, the resolutions
author.
Bill would prevent
shackling of pregnant inmates
SACRAMENTO Corrections offi-
cials would be prohibited from using
leg or wrist shackles on pregnant
inmates when they are in labor or have
just given birth under a bill headed to
the California governors desk.
The state Assembly unanimously
approved AB2530 Tuesday, sending it to
Gov. Jerry Brown.
Lawmakers approve
death benefit extension
SACRAMENTO California law-
makers have sent the governor a con-
tentious bill that would make it easier for
dependents of police ofcers and reght-
ers to collect workers compensation ben-
ets after their death.
The Assembly approved the bill 51-18
Tuesday.
AB2451, by Assembly Speaker John
Perez, would double the period in which
death benets could be claimed to almost
nine years. The benets apply to police
and reghters diagnosed with conditions
such as cancer that are presumably job-
related.
Bill would ban gay
teen conversion therapy
SACRAMENTO State lawmakers
have approved a bill that would establish a
rst-of-its-kind ban on a controversial
form of psychotherapy aimed at making
gay teenagers straight.
The California Assembly on Tuesday
approved the high-prole bill on a 52-22
vote after a heated debate, with many
Republicans opposed. The bill returns to
the Senate for a nal vote.
Supporters say SB1172 is needed
because sexual conversion treatments are
dangerous and can cause teens to commit
suicide.

Foster City man arrested for
peeping, residential burglary
An 18-year-old Foster City man was arrest-

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
After the wife of a Japanese diplomat,
already suspicious of his close relationship
with a fellow employee, questioned him
about a suspicious hair in his car, the woman
told a courtroom yesterday he knocked her
down in anger and tried to kill her.
He said that You should die and he stran-
gled my neck, said Yuka Nagaya.
Nagaya took the stand a second day yester-
day in the preliminary hearing of Yoshiaki
Nagaya, her 33-year-old husband of 18
months who is charged with 17 counts of
domestic violence and assault. Speaking
through a Japanese interpreter, she continued
recounting incidents where she was struck or
kicked, including the Jan. 21, 2012 attack
which she said included him temporarily
placing his hand over her mouth so she could-
nt breathe and led to her upper molar falling
from her mouth while eating days later.
On another occasion, Yuka Nagaya said she
ed their apartment barefoot in the middle of
the night out of fear but, after crying in the
stairwell, returned because she also found it
frightening to be alone in a foreign country.
He was gone when she returned but later
came back and stomped on her chest three or
four times, leaving her unable to move on the
oor for ve or six hours, she said.
Blood was in her urine later, she testied.
Nagaya, a vice consul in San Francisco,
moved here with his wife shortly after their
April 2010 marriage. The woman said she
had no friends, family or money and thought
her husband was having an inappropriate rela-
tionship with another woman because he
stayed out late and had a photo of her in his
phone. She said the couple
argued over her suspicions
and his refusal to share
information about his par-
ents upcoming visit to
California. She grew tired
of cooking for him, once
throwing food on the
ground, and was upset he
did not commemorate her
birthday.
She told the court
Nagaya responded by kicking, punching and
scratching her as well as throwing objects
and pouring milk over her head. Once, she
said, he hit her over the head with a laptop
computer and dragged her down the hallway.
She documented nearly every alleged
injury in photographs which were introduced
as evidence by the prosecution.
After Nagaya allegedly threw his wife
from a car in the parking lot of their San
Bruno apartment, she contacted police who
arrested him April 1.
The hearing did not finish yesterday but
cross-examination of Yuka Nagaya was spent
going back and forth between her and
defense attorney Gerrick Lew over details
such as her picking up her husbands cell-
phone to see a photo of his suspected para-
mour. Over and over again, Yuka Nagaya
answered that she didnt remember or did not
know to what he was referring. She also
questioned an English translation of a docu-
ment she wrote in Japanese documenting the
alleged abuse.
Nagaya is free from custody on $350,000
cash bail. Prosecutors say he faces up to 20
years in prison if convicted.
The hearing resumes Friday.

Yosemite National Park ofcials sent letters and emails to 1,700 visitors who stayed in tent
cabins in June,July and August,warning them that they may have been exposed to the disease
that also caused two other people to fall ill.
By Tracie Cone
FRESNO The rustic tent cabins of
Yosemite National Park a favorite among
families looking to rough it in one of the
nations most majestic settings have
become the scene of a public health crisis after
two visitors died from a rodent-borne disease
following overnight stays.
On Tuesday, park ofcials sent letters and
emails to 1,700 visitors who stayed in some of
the dwellings in June, July and August, warn-
ing them that they may have been exposed to
the disease that also caused two other people
to fall ill.
Those four people contracted hantavirus
pulmonary syndrome after spending time in
one of the 91 Signature Tent Cabins at
Curry Village around the same time in June.
The illness is spread by contact with rodent
feces, urine and saliva, or by inhaling exposed
airborne particles.
After the rst death, the park sanitized the
cabins and alerted the public through the
media that the cause might have been diseased
mice in the park.
However, ofcials did not know for sure the
death was linked to Yosemite or the campsite
until the Centers for Disease Control deter-
mined over the weekend that a second visitor,
a resident of Pennsylvania, also had died.

SACRAMENTO With election
politics in play, Gov. Jerry Brown on
Tuesday announced systemic reforms
to save billions of dollars in
Californias underfunded pension
systems, but dropped key changes he
had sought to avoid a showdown with
labor allies.
As a result, pension reform advo-
cates said the Democratic proposal
fails to address the long-term costs of
the states pension liabilities, largely
by leaving benets for the states
more than 200,000 employees
unchanged without contract changes
negotiated with unions.
The reform deal does not include
putting new government workers in a
hybrid system that includes a 401(k)-
style plan, greater independence for
the board that oversees the states
main pension fund or a reduction in
retiree health care
costs, which are
skyrocketing.
Still, Brown
hailed the deal as
a landmark
achievement and
said it will make
pension benets
for public
employees lower
than they were during his rst term in
ofce, in 1975.
These reforms make fundamental
changes that rein in costs and help to
ensure that our public retirement sys-
tem is sustainable for the long term,
the governor said in a statement.
These reforms require sacrice from
public employees and represent a sig-
nicant step forward.
Labor leaders also were not pleased
by what they saw as a violation of
collecting bargaining rights. The
reforms for new employees include
an annual pension cap, contributions
of at least half of their pension costs
and a higher retirement age for full
benets.
We are ghting back and were
struggling, and in this case it appears
like were losing, said Dave Low,
chairman of Californians for
Retirement Security, a labor coalition
representing more than 1.5 million
public employees and retirees.
The changes that will save the most
money apply primarily to new work-
ers, rather than existing ones, so the
greatest nancial benet to the state
will be decades in the future.
Weve lived beyond our means.
The chickens are coming home to
roost, Brown said during a news
conference in Los Angeles, referring
to the difculty of negotiating pen-
sion reforms with the Legislatures
Democratic majority and the public
employee labor unions that fund their
campaigns.

WASHINGTON The Obama
administration has nalized new fuel
economy rules that will require the
eet-wide average of new cars and
trucks sold in the U.S. to double over
the next 13 years.
The average fuel economy must
reach 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025,
up from 28.6 mpg at the end of last
year. The regulations will bring dra-
matic changes to the cars and trucks
in U.S. showrooms, with the goal of
cutting greenhouse gas emissions and
fuel consumption.
To meet the standard, automakers
will need to introduce new technolo-
gy to improve gasoline-powered
engines. And theyll need to sell more
alternative fuel vehicles. Critics say
the rules will add thousands to the
price of new cars and make them
unaffordable for many.
The administration says the latest
changes will save families more than
$1.7 trillion in fuel costs and bring an
average savings of $8,000 over the
lifetime of a new vehicle sold in
2025. The standards also are the
biggest step the U.S. government has
ever taken toward cutting greenhouse
gas emissions, Environmental
Protection Agency Administrator
Lisa Jackson said. Tailpipe emissions
from cars and light trucks will be
halved by 2025, the government said.
President Barack Obama said the
new fuel standards represent the sin-
gle most important step his adminis-
tration has taken to reduce U.S.
dependence on foreign oil.
But Republican presidential candi-
date Mitt Romney has opposed the
standards, and his campaign on
Tuesday called them extreme and
said they would drive up the price of
new cars.

Romney sweeps to nomination
By Ben Feller
WASHINGTON Trying to keep his job
as he does his job, President Barack Obama
assured the nation Tuesday that his adminis-
tration was capably ready for a menacing
Hurricane Isaac. And then he climbed
aboard his helicopter and went searching for
votes.
Obamas swift pivot illustrated the presi-
dents juggle of governing and campaigning
and that neither ever stops in an election
year.
Standing alone in the White House
Diplomatic Room, Obama first reminded TV
viewers, in so many words, that he is the
only president in the race.
Succinct and serious, Obama said he was
the one who ordered federal help in place in
the Gulf Coast. His administration would do
everything possible.
And it was he, as presi-
dent, who had the author-
ity to warn Americans in
the storms path: Now is
not the time to tempt fate.
You need to take this seri-
ously.
By afternoon, Obama
the campaigner appeared.
The suit coat was gone,
the tie loosened, the
sleeves rolled up, the
smile back. Obama had moved from a hurri-
cane to the Iowa State Cyclones.
On a 90-degree day in the heartland,
Obama had gone ahead with his three-state
tour of college towns, seeking to stir up his
young supporters. Yes, the president and his
team were keeping an eye on Isaac. But there
would be no ceding the day as Republicans
prepared to pound on him at their national
convention in Tampa, Fla.
Obamas juggle: Doing the
job and fighting to keep it
By David Espo
TAMPA, Fla. Former Massachusetts Gov.
Mitt Romney swept to the Republican presi-
dential nomination Tuesday night at a storm-
delayed national convention, every mention of
his name cheered by delegates eager to propel
him into a campaign to oust President Barack
Obama in tough economic times.
Romney watched on television with his wife,
Ann, at a hotel suite across the street from the
hall as the convention sealed his victories from
the hard-fought primaries and caucuses of last
winter.
I read somewhere that Mitt and I have a
storybook marriage, she said in excerpts
released in advance of a primetime speech
meant to cast her multimillionaire-business-
man-turned-politician husband in a soft and lik-
able light. Well, in the storybooks I read, there
were never long, long, rainy winter afternoons
in a house with ve boys screaming at once.
A storybook marriage? No, not at all. What
Mitt Romney and I have is a real marriage, she
said.
Aides said her husband of 43 years would be
in the hall when she spoke.
A parade of convention
speakers mocked
Democratic incumbent
Obama mercilessly from a
made-for-television podi-
um, as if to make up for lost
time at an event postponed
once and dogged still by
Hurricane Isaac. Delegates
held up signs that pro-
claimed We built it, a
rebuttal to Obamas saying of American entre-
preneurs, You didnt build that.
The Democratic president has never run a
company. He hasnt even run a garage sale or
seen the inside of a lemonade stand, declared
Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican
Party.
Mitt Romney will preserve this exceptional
American legacy. Barack Obama will destroy
it, said Janine Turner, an actress and radio
host.
To send Romney and ticketmate Paul Ryan
into the fall campaign, delegates approved a
conservative platform that calls for tax cuts
not government spending to stimulate the
economy at a time of sluggish growth and 8.3
percent unemployment.
Convention speakers mock Obama
Mitt Romney
By Steve Peoples
BOSTON Mitt Romney may not have
set out on the road to the Republican presi-
dential nomination if not for a private meet-
ing between strangers.
More than a decade ago, the 54-year-old
Olympics CEO was at a crossroads as the
closing ceremonies of the 2002 Winter
Games approached. Thats when Kerry
Healey, head of the Massachusetts GOP,
traveled across the country to meet with
Romney. Inside the privacy of his ofce,
Healey pressed the longtime businessman to
run for governor. French figure skating
judges waited outside as the meeting ran
long.
We had never met before. It was a cold
call, Healey recalls.
Romney would soon agree to run, a deci-
sion that opened the next phase of his life.
Nine months after that February 2002
meeting, Romney was elected governor of
Massachusetts. The post became the launch-
ing pad for a national political career that
reaches its pinnacle Thursday when he
accepts the Republican presidential nomina-
tion.
Those who know him well say it was not
ambition that pushed Romney into politics
anew after a failed 1994 Massachusetts
Senate run. Instead, they describe a man
driven to lead, likely the result of growing up
in a family that emphasized service above all
else. They say Romney truly believed in his
own unique ability to solve problems.
He ran toward challenges, says longtime
friend and business partner Bob White.
A lot of people who just tuned in this
presidential year havent seen this history of
stepping forward, White says. Its that
stepping forward that his parents talked
about, not necessarily just public ofce.
Decade old meeting set Romneys path

OPINION 9
Coaches and sex abuse
Editor,
I was thrown for a loss when I read
the article that the state Senate passed a
bill adding coaches and administrators
in K-12 schools to the list of people
required to report suspected child abuse
to authorities (Bill would require
coaches to report child abuse in the
Aug. 24 edition of the Daily Journal).
Silly me. I thought they were already
required to do so. Sen. Ron Calderon,
D-Monterey Park, said coaches are in a
position of trust, adding that the bill
was prompted by the Sandusky case.
Are our political leaders so lacking in
moral ber that they have to wait for a
headline to make them act on the obvi-
ous?

T
his years presidential candi-
dates lack the repower of past
campaigns. Kennedy vs. Nixon
in 1960, Hoover vs. Roosevelt in 1932,
Lincoln vs. Douglas in 1860. No rivet-
ing personalities or ery rhetoric from
the belly. Barack Obama vs. Mitt
Romney does not set the heart autter
but rather provides a sullen recognition
that sometime in the future the voter
must make a choice.
That appears to be the mood of the
electorate with months to the election.
Daily press speculation of whether
these two candidates are the best runs
rampant. Some contend Obama should
have stepped aside, as he said he would
to Matt Lauer in 2009 if the economy
and unemployment did not improve. It
would be time to resurrect Hillary to
protect the lefts advances.
The same holds true for Romney. As
one prospective candidate after another
bowed out of the primary race before it
even started, he became the only candi-
date with a real chance to upend
Obama.
First it was lesser GOP stars like
Mike Huckabee passing on a run that
didnt create much attention. But
increasingly the top prospects such as
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie,
Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels and even
former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush declined.
It basically left Romney, the well-
known moderate, to take the nomina-
tion handed to him surrounded by a
eld of one-theme candidates with little
chance of defeating the incumbent
Obama and his powerful re-election
machine never dismantled from his
2008 run.
Neither party is elding their
strongest candidate. Hillary Clinton
would have been the wise choice for a
shift mid-stream. Her presence as the
fresh face innocent amidst all the
tomfoolery of the past four years would
have made her a likely shoo-in over any
Republican candidate. Her stint as sec-
retary of state may not rank with the
giants of the past, but then again, shes
not Obama with all his baggage. Shes
clean of scandal or disappointment after
nearly four years touring the world and
establishing international credibility.
Similarly, the top
dogs of the GOP
chose to sit this one
out and prepare for
a possible 2016 run
should Obama be
re-elected. Without a
majority in both
Houses (unlikely at
this point), Obama
is boxed in with his proposed four-year
agenda facing a hostile Congress.
Obama stayed relatively silent during
the contentious Republican primaries.
Now that he is reappearing daily, his
numbers have dropped dramatically.
The president is campaigning like there
is no tomorrow. He has attended twice
as many fundraisers as the last ve
presidents combined. The charisma of
the 2008 campaign has been replaced
by an almost forced cheerfulness and
suspicious audiences. From special-
interest pandering through proposed
cut-rate loans for indentured students to
free contraceptives for women, he is
everything to everybody. A sort of
Willie Stark as portrayed by Broderick
Crawfords performance as the tragic
Huey Long character in All the Kings
Men.
But then came the almost stunning
array of bad news for Obama.
April through June unemployment
numbers were a terrible surprise, the
humiliating Democratic defeat in
Wisconsin and the almost amusing
mini-revolt of trusted surrogates like
Bill Clinton, Massachusetts Gov. Deval
Patrick and Newark Mayor Cory
Booker. Their disloyal contradicting
and undermining of Obamas anti-busi-
ness attacks on Romney and Bain
Capital were perceived as disloyal in
the Nixonian view of his presidency.
All three were quick to rescind their
very public remarks by agreeing to
hostage videos in which they dead-
panned the usual I was misquoted on
live tape remarks. Almost laughable in
the sincerity provided. All that was
missing was a newspaper being held by
the hostage to provide authenticity
they were not locked up in the White
House basement or dead.
So what was the presidents reaction
to the bad news? Do what he thinks he
does best Get back on the air and
assemble a captive press for an
impromptu news conference where he
made what will be the poster child
gaffe of the campaign The private
sector is doing ne. Obama was trying
to attribute high unemployment to a
paucity of government workers and
suggest the solution was to pad the
public rolls. That effectively tossed out
his contention that cutting government
was a primary mission of his presiden-
cy. He was unveiled to millions as truly
being an advocate of a bigger and more
costly Washington.
Obama thrust himself into a position
he had attempted to relinquish since
2009 when he was convinced the ailing
economy needed another round of gov-
ernment expansion. A huge misstep that
opened the door to Romney and added
ridicule from independents and moder-
ates the key to a re-election victory.
The weakest recovery since the Great
Depression, with private-sector growth
a minuscule 1.2 percent and the presi-
dent says its just ne.
Through all of this, the race remains
relatively even. But is that good news
for the incumbent president so early in
the campaign? After the cat ght
known as the Republican primaries,
Obama has squandered his opportuni-
ties with a series of highly embarrass-
ing scandals. The country now faces a
choice of a born-again conservative
challenger who remains highly suspect
by the right or a weak incumbent of the
1980 Jimmy Carter mode who cannot
run on his record or barely mention his
signature policies.
It should make for an interesting fall
and critical debates for both sides.

Two distinct ideologies clash
Taking charge?
T
his has been the most vapid, vaporous cam-
paign of the 10 presidential races Ive covered.
Joe Klein, Time, Aug. 13
For a long time, many of us have been hoping that
President Obama would come out with a denite stance on
important political issues. But
politics being what it is, I
suppose the chances of step-
ping on the toes of important
campaign contributors pre-
cludes that. So then came
Paul Ryan with his scally
conservative manifesto to
some a breath of fresh air
after so many months of polit-
ical prattle by insecure
Romney who never seems
quite sure where he stands.
Ryan and his fellow scally
conservative types are
absolutely sure that they have
the right answer and are devoted to their beliefs. As Robert
Reich wrote in the San Francisco Chronicle on 8/19: Ryan
exemplies the social Darwinism at the core of todays
Republican party: Reward the rich, penalize the poor, let
everyone else fend for themselves.
When one looks at Ryan (and many other politicians), nar-
cissism comes to mind the kind of narcissism that Jean
M. Twenge, Ph.D. and Keith Campbell, Ph.D. depict in their
book, The Narcissism Epidemic as smooth, supercially
charming and charismatic as compared to those who
they describe as self-absorbed jerks. Twenge and Campbell
explain, Narcissists see themselves as fundamentally superi-
or theyre special, entitled and unique. Narcissists also
lack emotionally warm, caring and loving relationships with
other people. This is the main difference between a narcissist
and someone merely high in self-esteem; the high in self-
esteem person values relationships but the narcissist does
not.
Enter a book by Paul J. Zak The Moral Molecule
the Source of Love and Prosperity which seems to explain
many politicians. He says that the narcissistic propensity
essentially boils down to a brain chemical called oxytocin
(not to be confused with oxycontin). Apparently, people
whose brains are not washed in enough oxytocin are not
empathetic, do not relate with others except on their own
terms and are out only for self-aggrandizement.
Without empathy, such politicians simply would never
understand how some people are unable to handle their lives
without government help. After all, theyre convinced that
theyre self-made men. They would never consider paying
higher taxes so that medical care could be available to every-
one. It is interesting to read that some narcissists are born
with this tendency, but according to Zak, a child who may
have adequate oxytocin to start with can fail to become
empathetic and increasingly narcissistic if he lives with abu-
sive people who either ignore his needs or who over-control
him physically or mentally. He says if enough testosterone is
added to the mix, very aggressive males who t the self-
absorbed jerk title can result.
Of course, anyone who aspires to be a politician is very
likely to lean toward narcissism, but when it gets to a point
where there is no concern or empathy for the unfortunate
and where they know they have all of the answers and refuse
to compromise, we must ask questions, such as: What have
you to gain by reducing government to a shadow of its for-
mer self? What will happen to all of the people who need
such programs like Medicare, Social Security, etc. that you
and your buddies would like to sack? And how does Ryan,
being such a good Catholic, interpret his religion to justify
such beliefs? As the New York Times columnist Maureen
Dowd wrote on Aug. 17, Like Mitt Romney, Ryan truly
believes he made it on his own so everyone else can, too. ...
Hes the cutest package that cruelty ever came in.
We need to be very careful that we do not support any
candidate who, though he appears intelligent and gives the
impression that hes interested in our welfare, is mainly out
to satisfy his narcissistic desires. Though this is not always
easy to discover, it helps to explore the heart of the person.
Is there empathy, compassion, a feeling for those less fortu-
nate sincere interest in making our society better for
everyone? Or is he mainly using his position to make an
impression on the rest of us (and the world) that he is won-
derful, all knowing and infallible?
Taking into account the degree of mental sclerosis, (or,
should I say, level of oxytocin), we must keep considering
each candidates background and history and carefully study
his proclamations. In contrast to Romney, who never seems
to be quite sure of himself, Ryan may appear to be someone
who will take charge and change things for the better. But
David Sirotta warns us: Republican power brokers ... are
hoping ... that when you see Ryans Midwestern visage, you
wont see the real Ryan and you wont see what his
assent to vice president might mean for the future of
America. San Francisco Chronicle, 8/17.

NEW YORK Mixed economic data
kept the stock market hovering near
break-even Tuesday. One report on
home prices looked encouraging, and
another on consumer condence was
worrisome.
House prices increased in all major
U.S. cities in June, according to the
closely watched Standard &
Poors/Case-Shiller home-price index.
The report was the latest sign that the
housing market has been gaining
strength.
I thought it was terric, said Phil
Orlando, chief equity strategist at
Federated Investors. If you look at all of
the key housing metrics over the past
year affordability, building permits,
starts all those numbers are pointing
in the right direction.
The Dow Jones industrial average
dropped 21.68 points to close at
13,102.99. Hewlett-Packard led the Dow
down. HPs stock lost 31 cents to $16.90
and hit a new one-year low.
Crude oil crept above $96 a barrel as
Hurricane Isaac picked up speed in the
Gulf of Mexico, where roughly one-
quarter of the countrys oil is produced.
Much of the regions production and
rening activity has shut down. The
National Hurricane Center forecast that
Isaac would reach the coast of southeast-
ern Louisiana late Tuesday.
In other trading, the Standard & Poors
500 index slipped 1.14 points to
1,409.30, and the Nasdaq composite
index gained 3.95 points to 3,077.14.
Trading was light again, typical for
August vacation season. Over the past
three days, fewer than 7.7 billion shares
have been traded, the lowest three-day
stretch since December 2011.
The indexes dipped in morning trading
after the Conference Board said its con-
sumer condence index fell to its lowest
point since November 2011. Economists
had expected a much higher reading.
The index was 60.6, down from 65.4 in
July.
That unexpected drop bolsters the case
for the Federal Reserve to take more
steps to spur economic growth, said
Chris Rupkey, chief nancial economist
at the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi in New
York, in a note to clients.
For economists and investors, the big
event this week is Chairman Ben
Bernankes speech at an annual confer-
ence in Jackson Hole, Wyo. Traders will
sift through his speech Friday for evi-
dence the Fed is readying more support.

NEW YORK Americans are feeling
worse about the economy than they have
in a long time a fact that could have
wide-reaching implications everywhere
from Wal-Mart to the White House.
Despite improving U.S. job and
housing markets, consumer confidence
fell to the lowest level its been since
November 2011, according to The
Conference Board, a private research
group. The results are the latest swing
in the index, which has been on a
rollercoaster ride this year.
The index declined in January, rose in
February and then posted four months of
declines before registering an increase in
July. Augusts reading indicates that the
gains in the job and housing markets
arent big enough to put to rest
Americans economic fears. That not
only threatens to put a damper on retail
sales for the back-to-school and winter
holiday seasons the two biggest shop-
ping periods of the year but it also
could have an impact on how Americans
vote in Novembers presidential election.
Mark Vitner, a Wells Fargo Securities
senior economist, says he has looked at
October condence gures during the
past elections of sitting presidents since
1972. No president has been re-elected
when condence was below a reading of
90, which indicates a healthy economy.
The index hasnt reached that level since
December 2007.
The New York-based Conference
Board said its Consumer Condence
Index in August fell to 60.6, down from a
revised 65.4 in July and the 66 analysts
were expecting. The index now stands at
the lowest its been since November
2011 when the reading was at 55.2.
Americans confidence falls off in August
United suffers computer
issues, delays widespread
By Joshua Freed
United Airlines passengers faced delays and long lines after
some of its major computer systems and its website failed
Tuesday afternoon.
The glitch was another in a long string of technology prob-
lems that began when it merged computer systems with
Continentals in March.
United acknowledged at least 200 delayed ights. Its pas-
senger reservation system and website stopped working for
about two-and-a-half hours on Tuesday afternoon, although
the precise cause wasnt known.
The outage didnt affect planes in ight.
Passengers in several United hubs reported very long lines at
ticket counters. During the outage it stopped sending planes to
its hubs in Newark, N.J., and San Francisco.
Alex Belo was waiting at Newark to get on a ight to
Mexico City. He considered himself lucky to be behind only
100 or so people waiting to check a bag because there were
another 300 to 400 behind him.
DOE questions Solyndra bankruptcy plan
DOVER, Del. Solyndra LLC should provide more infor-

ing.
Attorneys for the Department of Energy and the Internal
Revenue Service led court papers last week objecting to a
disclosure statement led by Solyndra with its bankruptcy
reorganization plan. Solyndra received a $528 million loan
from the Obama administration before ling for bankruptcy
protection last year.

ATHLETICS, GIANTS WIN: AS SHUT OUT INDIANS AGAIN, GIANTS DO JUST ENOUGH TO BEAT ASTROS >>> PAGE 14
Sequoia going to up the tempo
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
For the first time
since taking over the
Sequoia football pro-
gram four years ago,
coach Rob Poulos
players have all been
in his system for the
entirety of their high
school careers.
But that doesnt
mean the status quo
remains. Poulos is
implementing a no-
huddle, up-tempo style
this season, so everyone is
having to learn some new terminology.
Not that Poulos expects a huge learning curve.
There is some new terminology, Poulos said.
(But for the most part) the kids know the lan-
guage now.
Poulos does not have any lineage in the no-
huddle offense, but has run a little bit of every-
thing in his high school coaching career. He said
this is the type of offense he has been building
toward since he took over the program at
Sequoia.
Ive [run] everything from wing-T to veer to
spread option. You go to clinics and pick brains
(to learn a new system), Poulos said. I have an
assistant who had some history with this stuff.
Our system is pretty exible.
Its my fourth year and weve speeded things
up every year. This year, we stepped into the deep
end.
The Cherokees lost some signicant pieces to
graduation but they still have some key cogs on
both sides of the ball. Senior Mike Taylor, who
was slated to be a wide receiver last season, was
forced into the starting quarterback role when
presumptive starter James Beekley went down
with a season-ending knee injury in the
Cherokees rst game of the season. While Taylor
experienced some growing pains last season, it
put him in a good spot heading into this season
assuming he stays as Sequoias starting quarter-
back.
Poulos said junior Cameron Greenough has
been pushing Taylor in camp, which is not neces-
sarily a bad thing because it would allow Taylor
to be a weapon from the receiver spot.
[Greenough] is putting good pressure on
[Taylor], Poulos said. The good thing about
Veterans make South City an Ocean favorite
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Its an exciting time to be a South San
Francisco High School football fan.
Theres no other way to put it: The 2012
Warriors are loaded and on paper, the Peninsula
Athletic Leagues Ocean Division title is well
within their grasp. In fact, just a glance at their
roster of returners makes South City one of the
favorites.
We have guys that have played three years of
varsity football, said South City head coach
Frank Moro. Their leadership is key, they know
whats going on. They remember everything. And
thats some of the pluses of that experience com-
ing back. We had a lot of work in the offseason
but these guys did it and theyre ready to go.
We have a lot of returning skill players and in
that respect, were pretty excited [about the
year], Moro said. We still are teaching a few
guys, seniors, some critical positions. So were
still a work in progress.
Ah yes, the work in progress is that hint of
skepticism that should accompany a team with as
much promise as the Warriors. South City foot-
ball version 2012 is very much like the 2011 edi-
tion the expectations were just as high. But
injuries along the way did in the Warriors during
their run through the Ocean Division. Despite
health issues to some key players, the Warriors
still won a Central Coast Section playoff game
before bowing out in the Division II seminals.
We talked about it starting in December: We
have to prepare ourselves, our bodies, to play 13,
14 weeks, Moro said. Thats what these guys
do. When they were in the weight room and got
tired they thought about preparing their bodies
for those extra weeks. They put in the work to do
it. Yes, weve been thinking about [the CCS play-
offs]. Weve been thinking about it since
December. We cant wait to get this thing start-
ed.

Opening day in any sport is a special day for
the coaches and players. Its the start of a new
season and expectations are always high.
That being said, since it is the rst game of
the season, coaches dont always know what
theyre going to get. Caada College mens
soccer coach Erik Gaspar was seeing his team
play as a unit for the rst time and, while all
the games count going forward, the early part
of the season is still an evaluation process.
Gaspar saw some good things and some
not-so-good things as the Colts came away
with a 2-2 tie against visiting Cabrillo
Tuesday afternoon in Redwood City.
There was a lot of good stuff, but were
about 75 percent t, Gaspar said. We looked
very good offensively, at times.
The defense was also generally solid, but
the most important thing the Colts learned is
that they need to nish stronger. Caada (0-0-
1 overall) held a 2-1 lead late in the game but
the Seahawks constant second-half pressure
nally paid off as they scored the equalizer
with about two minutes to play.
Kudos to them (Cabrillo), Gaspar said.
They kept battling. They showed great
resolve.
The two teams spent the opening minutes of
the game feeling each other out, with no seri-
ous scoring chances in the rst 10 to 15 min-
utes. The best chance came in the 15th minute
when Caadas Ulyssis Milanes headed a
cross just over the crossbar.
That appeared to loosen up the Colts as they
found the back of the net three minutes later.
Francisco Sanchez sent a perfect through ball
into the Cabrillo box when Francy Gomez
latched on to it, made a cutback move to lose
his defender and then slotted a shot past the
goalkeeper and just inside the left post to put
Caada up 1-0.
Francys a guy whos going to be a big part
of our success this year, Gaspar said.
Instead of giving the Colts a jolt, however,
it was the Seahawks who responded to the
goal.
Ten minutes after Gomezs goal, the
Seahawks caught the Colts on a counter attack
with the equalizer coming on a beautiful cross
and volley nish.
With about six minutes left in the rst half,
Caada opens soccer season with 2-2 draw

The compulsory gymnastics season has
begun and Peninsula Gymnastics in San
Mateo is off to a hot start.
Level 6 gymnasts traveled to Sacramento
last weekend and brought home a second- and
rst-place nish in the team competition at the
2012 Judges Cup.
This competition was a great start to the
season and the results show how hard the girls
worked this summer, said Peninsula coach
George Iusan, who oversees the Level 6 gym-
nasts.
The Peninsula team began the competition
by taking second place in Session One. The
following day, behind an impressive perform-
ance by Ariana Young, Peninsula improved
and took home rst.
Young brought home the all-around title
with an overall score of 36.95. All four of her
scores were highs for Peninsula. Young post-
ed a 8.93 on vault and a 9.05 on the oor exer-
cise.
We were really happy with all of the girls
performances, Iusan said, but Ariana stood
out this weekend. She did better than we
expected at her rst meet and we were really
surprised and pleased. She likes to perform
and does well in competitions, she really steps
up. Our job now will be to keep her motiva-
tion up in the gym because we dont want her
to get too excited too fast for one meet. We are
just beginning the season.
Youngs best scores came on bars (9.43) and
on the balance beam (9.55).
Behind Young were Kristen Kuhn and her
35.13 (including a 9.28 on bars) and Isabella
Love (34.98 overall with a high of 9.23 on
bars).
Also performing well were Zoe Hammer,
Grace Carpenter and Greta Dooley.
Youth baseball
The 12-under Peninsula Nationals baseball
team from San Mateo won the Summer Heat
Tournament at Wilcox High School last week-
end, winning all four of their games in the
process.
Pitching and defense, said Nationals head
coach Dave Villar. I always preach pitching
and defense and thats what carries us.
The hitting is going to come and go, but
just dont make mistakes defensively. Well
try to throw strikes and if we can throw strikes
and they hit the ball, we can make some plays.
We have some pretty good pitching, but I have
a really strong defense.
The win at Summer Heat comes on the
heels of another four-game sweep at the Back
to School Bash at Twin Creeks Sports
Complex.
Ben Kurr was named the Summer Heat
tournaments Most Valuable Player. He fol-
lows teammate Israel Quintana, who won the
MVP award at Back to School. Theyre our
No. 3 and 4 batters on our team, Villar said.
They carry us offensively.
Quintana is also a pitcher. When you see a
special talent, Villar said, he is that special
talent. He can dominate offensively and on the
mound. Hes that special.
Kurr and Quintana arent alone. Jeremy
Villar has been the Nationals most consistent
pitcher. Omar Barraza has also contributed on
the mound. Christopher Swartz is the
Nationals centerelder and lead-off hitter.
Hes probably one of the best center eld-
ers around, Dave Villar said. He can control
the game from centereld. He is that good. He
just roams the entire outeld.
I like to say that we played well, Villar
said of Summer Heat. This last tournament
was a relatively small tournament, as opposed
to most of these tournaments. But you still
have to play, you still have to execute and be
smart. And thats what they have been doing.
The Nationals return to Twin Creeks Sports
Complex on Labor Day weekend for the
Labor Day Classic in preparation for section-
al tournament action in Santa Maria this fall.
We have some good tests coming up,
Villar said.

Peninsula Nationals win baseball tournament; Foster City to induct four more onto Wall of Fame
By Janie McCauley
OAKLAND Don Nelson never knew just
how much he would love retirement. In the
Maui plantation town of Paia, he is far from
the pressures of the fast-paced NBA lifestyle
in which he thrived for more than three
decades to become the games all-time win-
ningest coach.
These days, hes Nellie, the entrepreneur.
From his new shaved ice stand, to coffee
plants and koa trees, to all his rental properties
and a wedding venue in the works right off the
beach, the 72-year-old Nelson is about as far
removed from his old basketball life as he
could be.
Except for the fact he is a Hall of Famer at
last, set to be enshrined into the Naismith
Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on Sept. 7
in Springeld, Mass. After years of being left
off the list, Nelson was surprised it nally
happened considering he never won that cov-
eted NBA championship during 31 years on
the bench with the Milwaukee Bucks, Golden
State Warriors, New York
Knicks and Dallas
Mavericks.
It never bothered him
much. Hes in a relaxed,
Hawaii state of mind.
Nelson also farms ow-
ers he gives them away
because theres not much
money in owers and
will make olive oil from
his olive trees. Hes even dabbling in dog
food.
Its treating me well. Im a lucky man, he
said of island life. I found out that theres life
after basketball, which is very exciting. I real-
ly havent missed it that much, but Ive been
very busy, so thats probably part of the rea-
son.
I invested my fortune on Maui, he added
with a smile. Those are the fun things Im
doing.
He plays poker at least three times a week
with his close-knit group of friends and has
become a decent golfer. Those are the guys he
called when he got word he was headed to the
Hall.
I always kind of felt I was undeserving of
getting there, he said. I still feel unworthy,
really. Somebody voted for me, I guess. ... I
didnt have a feeling of what it would be. Its
really nice. Its a pinnacle of everybodys
career.
Nellie always did things his way, and it
hardly mattered who objected to his coaching
techniques. He ranks No. 1 on the NBA wins
list because of it. From his all-guard, up-
tempo Nellie Ball lineups to his feuds with
ery Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and even
publicly calling for struggling Warriors center
Andris Biedrins to shoot underhanded,
granny style free throws, Nelson had a dis-
tinct way of coaching that made him one of
the greatest of all time.
Ive had one of those very special lives,
really, Ive been in the NBA since I was 22,
he said. So its almost 50 years of my life
Ive been in the NBA. ... You have a lot of ups
and downs in coaching, especially, but I cant
remember any bad times at this point. I mean,
theyre all good. A lot of tears when you lose,
a lot of down times, but I cant remember any
of them. Theyre all positive now. Even the
bad times were good. One of those storybook
lives, really.
Nelson said he didnt intend to dene him-
self by playing small ball If Id have had
good big players, Id have played big ball.
As he looks back over all the players he
coached, those days with Dirk Nowitzki and
Steve Nash are among the best.
But Nelson learned more about himself
while coaching Sarunas Marciulionis during
the guards early days with the Warriors in the
late 1980s and early 90s. It got to the point
Nelson noticed his behavior on lm and asked
himself Who is that maniac on the sidelines?
It was me.
He changed his ways in a hurry. It wasnt so
hard after he watched what he was doing to
the young men whose lives he took pride in
shaping on the court each day.
I was verbally abusive to my players on the
Hall of Famer Don Nelson thrilled to be retired

CLEVELAND Tommy Milone and three
Oakland relievers extended Clevelands
scoreless streak to 22 innings and the
Athletics beat the Indians 7-0 on Tuesday
night.
Brandon Moss and Chris Carter homered
off Zach McAllister (5-5) as Oakland won its
fourth straight to remain tied with Baltimore
atop the AL wild-card race. Oakland is 5-0
against Cleveland and has won 10 of 12 since
dropping eight of 13.
Milone (11-9) worked six innings. Jerry
Blevins, Pat Neshek and Evan Scribner com-
pleted Oaklands third straight shutout over
the Indians.
The Athletics are 14 games over .500 for the
rst time since nishing 2006 at 93-69. They
have the best overall record since the start of
July at 34-15.
Cleveland has lost 12 of 13 and is 5-25
since July 27. The Indians have failed to score
in 45 of their last 48 innings overall.
Oakland has outscored the Indians 17-0 in
their last three meetings. It started with a 7-0
home win Aug. 19 behind Jarrod Parkers
eight strong innings. Brett Anderson worked
seven innings in a 3-0 win in this series open-
er Monday.
Clevelands offensive futility was on full
display in the fourth, when the Indians put
runners on second and third with no outs.
Milone struck out Casey Kotchman and Jason
Donald. Third baseman Josh Donaldson then
made a barehanded scoop and throw on a slow
roller to retire Jason Kipnis at rst to keep the
shutout intact.
McAllister struck out the side in the rst
inning, then yielded four singles to fall behind
2-0 in the second. Moss had Oaklands third
straight hit to make it 1-0. Adam Rosales
added a two-out RBI single.
Moss made it 4-0 in the third by hitting a 3-
2 pitch for his 14th homer. It came one out
after Seth Smith doubled.
Carter homered to open the fth for a 5-0
lead. It was his 12th homer in just 46 games
since being recalled from the minors. Carter
had an RBI double in the ninth off reliever Joe
Smith, who allowed another run to score on a
wild pitch.
McAllister struck out a career-high eight
over only 4 1-3 innings. The right-hander
gave up nine hits and ve runs to drop to 1-3
in six starts in August. He had not allowed
more than three earned runs in any of his pre-
vious nine starts at Progressive Field.
Indians reliever Esmil Rogers struck out
the side in the eighth and Carlos Santana
dropped each third strike, throwing to first
baseman Kotchman for the putout. Santana
also had to throw to first to complete two of
McAllisters strikeouts.
NOTES: Oakland has won six straight
from Cleveland for the rst time since taking
eight in a row from the Indians in 1998. ...
One day after leaving a start with a sprained
ankle, Indians RHP Roberto Hernandez threw
in the outeld. The Indians still are not sure if
Hernandez will miss his next scheduled start.
... Oakland OF Coco Crisp didnt play after
fouling a ball off his right foot Monday. X-
rays were negative and Crisp is day-to-day.
Manager Bob Melvin moved SS Stephen
Drew from second to Crisps leadoff spot and
RF Josh Reddick from sixth to second while
Yoenis Cespedes shifted from left eld to cen-
ter. ... Oakland RHP A.J. Grifn (shoulder)
allowed one run in ve innings in his second
rehab start for Triple-A Sacramento on
Monday. ... Indians RF Shin-Soo Choo broke
an 0-for-13 slide with a third-inning single. ...
Indians SS Asdrubal Cabrera singled in the
seventh and is in a 4-for-35 (.114) slump.

HOUSTON Pinch-hitter Hector Sanchez
connected on the go-ahead RBI single in the ninth
inning and the San Francisco Giants rallied for a
3-2 win over the Houston Astros on Tuesday
night.
The Giants were down 2-1 entering the ninth.
Brandon Belt singled off Wesley Wright to start
inning before pinch-hitter Joaquin Arias doubled
down the left eld line off Wilton Lopez (5-3) to
score Belt and tie it 2-2.
Sanchez completed the rally with his one-out
line drive to center eld that scored Arias.
Houston took the lead on a wild pitch by Matt
Cain in the eighth inning. The game was tied 1-all
when Jimmy Paredes, in his rst game since being
recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City, drew a
walk. Brett Wallace singled before a sacrice bunt
by Jason Castro left runners at second and third.
Then came the wild pitch in the dirt that
bounced in between the legs of catcher Buster
Posey and off the backstop. Posey went to get the
ball and Paredes trotted home ahead of the throw
and over a diving Cain to put Houston up 2-1 and
chase Cain.
Santiago Casilla (5-5) retired the last two batters
in the eighth for the win and Sergio Romo threw a
perfect ninth for his seventh save.
Angel Pagan put San Francisco up 1-0 when he
connected on a home run to right eld with two
outs in the fth inning. Houston evened things up
when Fernando Martinez opened the bottom half
of the inning with a homer to right-center.
The loss drops new Houston manager Tony
DeFrancesco to 1-7 and came in front of 13,516
the smallest crowd in the history of the 12-
year-old ballpark. DeFrancesco took over on Aug.
19 after Brad Mills became the rst manager red
in the majors this season.
Houston starter Bud Norris was lifted in the sev-
enth inning with a blister on his right middle n-
ger. He retired the rst two batters in the inning
before falling behind 2-0 to Pagan.
Trainers checked him out and chatted with him
before he was replaced by Fernando Rodriguez.
Norris is mired in a career-worst 10-game los-
ing streak and hasnt won since May 21. He
allowed six hits and a run with seven strikeouts.
Cain, who pitched a perfect game against
Houston on June 13, allowed six hits and two runs
with three walks in 7 1-3 innings.
Cain didnt allow a hit until Wallace doubled
with one out in the fourth inning. Pagan elded it
near the wall in center eld and threw to cutoff
man Brandon Crawford, who caught the throw
right before Gregor Blanco came dashing in from
left eld and crashed into him.
The collision sent both players tumbling to the
ground, but neither player was injured.
Cain was helped by his defense in the rst
inning when Castro hit a pop y into foul territo-
ry. Pablo Sandoval attempted to make the catch,
but the ball bounced out of his glove and into the
air. Crawford then made a diving play to grab it
before it hit the ground for the out.
NOTES: Giants reliever Guillermo Mota was
activated from the restricted list on Tuesday after
serving a 100-game suspension for his second
positive drug test. LHP Jeremy Affeldt has been
placed on the paternity list to make room on the
roster for Mota.

Kemp leaves game
after collision with wall
DENVER Los Angeles Dodgers center
elder Matt Kemp left Tuesday nights game
with the Colorado Rockies with a right knee
contusion after crashing into the wall in the
bottom of the rst inning.
Kemp ran into the wall trying to track down
a triple by Josh Rutledge. He turned into the
padding while running full speed and fell
backward onto the warning track.
He stayed down for several minutes as team
trainers checked him over. He got up, took a
drink of water and initially stayed in the
game. Not for long.
The next batter, Jordan Pacheco, looped a
double that Kemp laid out for but didnt catch.
Wilin Rosario followed with a single to cen-
ter, and Kemp left after elding the ball.
He left the ballpark to have precautionary
X-rays on his jaw, the Dodgers said. The team
said he had no concussion symptoms.
He was replaced by Juan Rivera, who took
over in left for Shane Victorino, who moved
to center.
The Dodgers eventually dropped an 8-4
decision to the Rockies.

ALAMEDA Long after prac-
tice began, Oakland Raiders defen-
sive tackle Richard Seymour and
ve of his injured teammates
including four projected starters
slowly made their way out to watch
the workout.
The debate over whether any of
the six will play in Thursdays pre-
season nale in Seattle has morphed
into concern about their availability
for the season opener against San
Diego on Sept. 10.
Seymour, who turns 33 in
October, is nursing tendinitis in his
knees. Center Stefen Wisniewski
(calf) and wide receivers Denarius
Moore (hamstring) and Jacoby Ford
(ankle) have also been out while
linebacker Aaron Curry has been on
the physically unable to perform list
since camp began. Reserve corner-
back Pat Lee recently joined the
walking wounded with a sore back.
That list doesnt include kicker
Sebastian Janikowski, who injured
his groin on a kickoff last week in
Arizona. Janikowski has been
cleared to practice but the Raiders
(tied for No. 23 in the AP Pro32) say
they might be tempted to hold him
out the remainder of the preseason.
Oakland coach Dennis Allen has
not ruled any of the other six out for
the opener, but the team signed
return specialist Roscoe Parrish on
Tuesday and will have him return-
ing punts against the Seahawks.
Were watching the waiver wires
to see if theres anybody that we feel
(has) a chance to help us, Allen
said. Well get a chance to get
(Parrish) out there to return some
kicks on Thursday night and see
what weve got.
Parrish joined the Raiders one day
after getting released by San Diego.
He had signed a one-year contract
with the Chargers in the offseason
but was buried on the depth chart at
receiver and lost out to Michael
Spurlock in the battle for punt return
duties.
With Oakland, Parrish will handle
the punt return chores until Ford or
Moore returns.
A second-round pick for Buffalo
in 2005, Parrish led the NFL in punt
return average in 2007 (16.3) and
08 (15.3), becoming the rst player
in league history to do so in consec-
utive seasons.
I actually woke up as a Charger
and went to sleep as a Raider, said
Parrish, who missed all but two
games in 2011 after suffering a sea-
son-ending ankle injury in a Week 2
loss to Oakland. Coming over here
when they need a returner is a good
feeling because thats what I do. Im
not going to take anything for grant-
ed ... but I look forward to being in
that black and silver.
Parrishs signing lls an immedi-
ate need but the rest of the Raiders
injury situation remains clouded.
Moore, who caught 33 passes as a
rookie last season when he was
quarterback Carson Palmers
favorite deep threat, missed most of
training camp after injuring his
hamstring in practice. Ford, limited
to eight games in 2011 with an
ankle injury, only recently got out of
a walking boot after getting hurt
against Arizona on Aug. 17.
That opened the door for rookie
receivers Juron Criner and Rod
Streater to get increased reps in
practice but it has also hurt the tim-
ing of the rest of the offense.
We need a ton of work together,
Palmer said. When theyre back,
its not easy to get off the couch or
get out of a walking boot or off
crutches or whatever it may be and
just show up and play. This league is
way too good.
Wisniewski has already been
declared out for the preseason nale
in Seattle, as has Curry.
The veteran linebacker underwent
a stem cell procedure on his knees
in the offseason and spent a week in
Los Angeles during training camp
getting additional treatment but has
yet to be cleared to practice. If he is
still on the PUP list as of Friday,
Curry would have to sit out the rst
six weeks of the regular season.
Seymour, coming off his seventh
Pro Bowl season, has missed
Oaklands last two preseason games
while resting sore knees. Allen orig-
inally said Seymour had arthritis in
his knees but later changed it to ten-
dinitis.
Its just something well have to
manage as we go throughout the
season, Allen said.
To clear room on the roster for
Parrish, the Raiders waived/injured
offensive lineman Zach Hurd.
Preseason injuries a concern for Raiders
Police arrest 3 in assault
on Wisconsin RB Ball
MADISON, Wis. Police have
arrested three suspects in the assault
on Wisconsin running back Montee
Ball.
Ball sustained a concussion when
he was attacked by several men near
campus in Madison on Aug. 1.
A police report says three 21-year-
old Madison men were arrested
Tuesday. All are facing battery
charges but havent been formally
charged.
Police have said the attack may
have been related to an altercation at
a house party that Ball attended a few
days earlier. The police report says
detectives have no evidence suggest-
ing Ball was involved in the ght but
that its still being investigated.
Ball, a Heisman Trophy nalist
last season, has denied any involve-
ment in the ght. The senior says he
hopes to be ready for the season
opener.
Wallace arrives
at Steelers facility
PITTSBURGH With less than
two weeks before the start of the
regular season, Pro Bowl wide
receiver Mike Wallace reported to
the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Wallace was at the team facility
Tuesday morning. A restricted free
agent, he had yet to sign his one-
year contract tender worth approxi-
mately $2.7 million.
He also will undergo routine med-
ical exams, but will not practice
with his teammates until next week.
The Steelers (No. 7 in the AP
Pro32) conclude their preseason at
home against the Carolina Panthers
on Thursday and open their regular
season Sept. 9 at the Denver
Broncos.
Last season, Wallace has 72
receptions for 1,193 yards and eight
touchdowns. He has 24 receiving
touchdowns in his three-season
career.

oor too much, he said. I tried to change
that and be more like Lenny Wilkens.
He had a lot more fun after that. And won a
lot, too.
How did I last so long? I got hired, Nelson
said.
During his rst job with the Bucks, Nelson
had a chance to become the head coach in
Boston but turned down the late Red Auerbach
because of his loyalty to Milwaukee owner
Jim Fitzgerald.
Part of it was my own doing, Nelson said.
As a career move, that would have been ...
because they won how many championships
after that? So I stayed and coached and what-
ever my life was after that, but it was (devoid)
of championships. The other part, I really
enjoyed taking over bad teams and making
good ones out of them. That was building
something that wasnt very attractive and
making it attractive.
New Warriors owner Joe Lacob parted ways
with Nelson right before training camp ahead
of the 2010-11 season, opting to pay Nelson
$6 million to take his NBA-best 1,335 victo-
ries out of the gym and to the white sand
beaches of his Hawaiian home. So much for
Nellie spending another year with the organi-
zation volunteering his time.
I would have. I got red, he said. Instead
of me giving them a year, they gave me one.
Nelson led the Warriors to their last two
playoff appearances in 1994, then a sur-
prising run to the second round in 2007 during
his second stint with the franchise.
Guiding that 07 We Believe team, as it
became known, with Baron Davis and
Stephen Jackson leading the charge, is among
Nelsons career highlights even if the team
didnt stay together long afterward.
Its up there. I dont know how I can rank
things, he said. Thats one of the highlights,
for sure.
Nelson now subscribes to the NBA package
and still watches the Warriors, Timberwolves
and Mavericks with interest. Just no longer
with a coachs eye.
Life has changed for Nelson, big time.
Totally different. Thats the beauty of it,
he said. The local people really couldnt care
less who you are. They dont seek autographs
or anything like that, tourists occasionally.
And, this time, he isnt planning any kind of
coaching comeback. He means it.
Id say Im retired, Nelson said. Im
done, Im cooked. Its over.

NEW YORK Sloane Stephens raised her
eyebrows and with a sly smile didnt hesitate
in answering the question of whether this
American teenager is tennis next superstar.
She is, Stephens said.
Bubbly and condent at the same time, the
19-year-old plays the part of the youngest
woman ranked in the top 50 in the world.
Wins like Tuesdays are becoming routine.
Stephens defeated 22nd-seeded Francesca
Schiavone in the rst round of the U.S. Open
technically an upset since the American is
ranked 44th, a career best.
Then again, Stephens has advanced to at
least the third round at three of her last four
Grand Slam events. She won 6-3, 6-4 against
the 2010 French Open champion on Tuesday.
I dont have a crystal ball to see the future,
but I can say that shes an athlete who has
every possibility to produce some great ten-
nis, Schiavone said. Its difcult to say, So-
and-sos going to be No. 1. ... But rst of all,
shes athletic. She has long legs. She did some
great sprints today. And she can change
speeds, change the height of her shots. Thats
important.
Her successes assure Stephens that she
doesnt need to do anything out of the ordi-
nary to beat players like the 32-year-old
Schiavone.
I did everything that my coach asked me to
do, Stephens said. I just really stayed within
myself and tried to do my best. For me, thats
a big step. If you do everything you want to do
in your match, if you accomplish all your
goals for today, which I did, Im pleased, very
pleased with myself. Thats something that
gives you condence, and that takes you far.
Stephens next faces 141st-ranked Tatjana
Malek.
Schiavone, whose ranking has slipped to
26th from a career-best No. 4 in early 2011,
acknowledged, It wasnt an easy year for
me.

Talking South City football is exciting
because of the players at the skill positions.
First, Anthony Shkuratov, one of the toughest
runners in the PAL last season, takes over for
Brad Los at the quarterback position.
Hes looking good, Moro said of
Shkuratov. He has a little different skill set in
that [Los] was more of a drop back passer. But
Anthony is dangerous out of the pocket, I
mean, he can y. And hes throwing the ball
good and gets the ball downeld.
Were going to utilize his skill set and call
on him a lot. When you defend that type of
offense, its a little more difcult. With Brad,
he offered us some deep opportunities.
Anthonys skill set is different, but hes just as
valuable.
The South City offense will feature two of
the PALs most dynamic wide receivers in
Robert Johnson and Jerick Anicete, whos
returning from a season-ending leg injury.
Ive never seen two more explosive wide-
outs since Ive been here, Moro said.
Theres a couple of times when weve seen
good wideouts, but I think this one ranks right
up there. Robert has big play capabilities and
Jerick is just a solid, possession receiver if
you get the ball anywhere near him, hes
going to catch it. Were blessed to have those
two guys.
And then theres the South City run game
that will feature returner Keven Cuhna, full-
back Maligi Maluia and newcomer MJ
Lauigan (whos returning from an ACL
injury). Moro said the offensive line lost a
couple of key components to graduation, but
players like Max Varela, Divi Kumar and
Oscar Torres are tting right in. Theyre
ready to step up, Moro said. Theyre getting
their opportunity and taking it.
South Citys 2011 team boasted one of the
leagues best and fastest defenses. And while
gone are a pair of All-County players, the
2012 team should be just as good.
This team can run and get to the ball,
Moro said. And when they get to the ball,
they bring a load.
The highlight of the defense is Johnson,
whos arguably the PALs best and most ath-
letically gifted safety.
Hes improved every year, Moro said.
Last year, he was a little banged up and he
became a disciplined, focused defender
because he had to make up for a little less
speed. This year, hes hoping to put together
his speed and athleticism with his knowledge
of the team and his knowledge of the league.
Joining Johnson on defense is a strong line-
backing group in Cuhna, Magili, Arthur
Georgiyev and newcomer Jawad Oweis.
The names and the prospect of a successful
season is nice for South City. But as men-
tioned, such was the case last year, but early
losses to Aragon and Half Moon Bay in
league play turned a promising 5-0 preseason
run into a disappointing second place nish in
the Ocean Division (3-2).
Its a tough division, Moro said. We
open up with Sequoia and Menlo, two tough
teams. Thats going to tell the story right
away.
South City kids are great. Thats what
makes it a pleasure to work here they have
heart, Moro said. They do work hard.
Theyve worked hard all summer, weve
worked hard at being a good football team.
We have some tough kids. Its one of the
things we always have over here.
SSF
[Taylor] is, if hes not the starter (at quarter-
back), he is the starting slot receiver.
Were trying to emphasize exibility.
Given the Cherokees new no-huddle
attack, Poulos said he will need a stable of
running backs and receivers to keep every-
body fresh and running at 100 percent ef-
ciency.
The minute your kids start slowing down,
every advantage you have (in the no-huddle)
is gone, Poulos said.
The good news for Cherokees fans is the
team has the horses. Matt Jenkins is only a
junior but this is his third season at the varsi-
ty level and his contributions have grown each
season.
His freshman year, he was the kicker and a
linebacker. Last year, he worked more into the
running back role and hell be asked to con-
tribute even more this season.
Hes the only kid who ever played for me
as a freshman. He came to us raw. He didnt
have any football savvy, Poulos said. Last
year, he was still (running) tall. This year, he
is starting to dip his pads. At 6-1, 210 pounds,
hes strong as heck. Hes just bringing a ham-
mer on guys.
Zach Tornquist, a transfer from Serra, will
also work into the backeld, along with Dylan
Anderson.
Those three, along with the likes of Taylor,
sophomore Tommy Lopiparo and Skyeler
Piece will also be in the mix at slot and wide
receiver.
We have a nice cluster of running back and
slot receiver types. I think thats the strength
of the program, Poulos said. Were three-
deep at each of those positions. All have nice
hands and good feet.
Paving the way on the offensive line is
Division I recruit Julian Bertero. At 6-6, 280
pounds, Bertero can denitely truck people,
but the footwork hes developed while playing
three years of varsity basketball as well as a
Central Coast Section appearance in the dis-
cus during the spring season could make him
a nightmare for opposing defensive lines.
He denitely has good feet, Poulos said.
He can denitely move.
Bertero will also rotate on the defensive line
as well. In fact, Poulos said the goal is to keep
most players on one side of the ball as much
as possible, with his key players rotating on
the opposite as well.
Poulos said he has about 20 returning play-
ers from last years squad and will sprinkle in
some key components from last years frosh-
soph team that went 9-1. Hes hoping the
experience gained last year will lead the
Cherokees back to the CCS nals, where they
made an appearance in 2010.
Last year, however, did not go according to
plan. After an emotional come-from-behind
win over Aragon to open the Peninsula
Athletic League Ocean Division season, the
Cherokees lost ve straight and nished at the
bottom of the standings. Poulos believes the
loss to Woodside the following week sent the
team into a downward spiral.
You look at the Woodside game, we go
from winning to tied to driving for the win-
ning score and then lose the game, Poulos
said. That was just a stomach shot to a young
team.
Poulos said he has referenced last years
season that saw the Cherokees lose their nal
ve games of the season. He wants them to
understand that if they dont focus on the task
at hand, it could happen again.
We want them hungry, Poulos said. We
want them to think about how that felt and
make sure it doesnt happen again. Were in
the Ocean. Can we win and move to the Bay
or are we just kind of oating there?
I think they realize thats why were push-
ing so hard (in practice).
SEQUOIA
the Colts regained the lead when Milanes
touched a perfect ball into the Cabrillo penal-
ty box. Gulshan Kumar ran it down and beat
the defender and the charging goalkeeper for
the score and a 2-1 Caada lead at halftime.
In the second half, the Seahawks turned up
the pressure and played most of the nal 45
minutes in the Colts end of the eld. Cabrillo
earned nine corner kicks and outshot Caada
10-5 in the second half. If not for the play of
Caada goalkeeper Carl Rodriguez, the game
might have ended with a Colts loss as he
made several strong, crucial saves.
At this level, good goalkeepers have to
come up with saves, Gaspar said. For the
most part, [Cabrillo] was looking to put pres-
sure on us.
In addition to Rodriguez, the Colts got
strong defensive performances from middle
fullbacks Alan Conchas and Bryan Torres. It
was the rst time the two had been paired
together and they worked seamlessly with
each other.
That whole defense did a good job,
Gaspar said.
As wave after attacking wave came at the
Caada defense, Gaspar never lost condence
in his group. In fact, he looked at it as an
opportunity for the defensive line to prove
how good it could be.
At this point, youre looking at those situa-
tions as opportunities for our guys to
respond, Gaspar said. The nal score not
withstanding, Im happy with the perform-
ance.
The Colts will be back at it Saturday in a
home match against Evergreen Valley at 5
p.m. Saturday and will host Foothill Sept. 4.
Caada wont hit the road until a Sept. 7
match against Cosumnes River.

Clippers Griffin says knee is good to go
LOS ANGELES All-Star Blake Grifn said Tuesday his
left knee is healed after last months surgery that forced him to
miss the London Olympics, when he worked on his shot and
free throws while his U.S. teammates were winning a gold
medal.
Grifn is doing drills and running this week as he continues
rehabbing from the July 16 surgery to repair a medial menis-
cus tear of his knee that he suffered during practice with the
U.S. national team in Las Vegas.
Im doing all my normal movements, he said. I feel like
Im at 100 percent.
The latest knee injury had nothing to do with the stress frac-
ture of his left patella and surgery that forced him to miss the
2009-10 season.
Its been a busy summer for Grifn. In addition to being
with the national team until his injury and then his surgery, he
signed a ve-year contract extension in July that could be
worth up to $95 million.

An easy, healthy shrimp dish steamed on the grill
When we think of steaming, we generally think stovetop
cooking. And during the heat of summer, that can make this very
healthy form of cooking seem very unappealing.
But the folks at Cooking Light magazine have come up with
a simple way to enjoy a delicious steamed dinner without the
fuss (or heat) of indoor cooking. For this deliciously spicy
shrimp, black bean and corn dish, they use the grill to get the job
done. The results are quick and easy, and you dont need to heat
up your kitchen.
The trick is using heavy duty foil to create a packet in which
to cook the food on the grill. By crimping the edges of the pack-
et, the liquid in the food stays inside, turning to steam and cook-
ing the food quickly, while also keeping it moist. And while this
recipe calls for doing the entire dish in one large packet, it would
be easy enough to create smaller packets and divide the ingredi-
ents among them (adjust cooking time if you do).
GRILLED FIESTA SHRIMP
Start to nish: 20 minutes
Servings: 6
2 pounds raw peeled large shrimp
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons Creole seasoning, divided
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded Mexican-blend cheese or ched-
dar cheese
1/2 cup canned whole-kernel corn with sweet peppers,
drained
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
4 cups cooked long-grain rice, hot
Heat the grill to medium-high.
Arrange the shrimp in the center of a large piece of heavy duty
foil. Drizzle the oil over the shrimp, then sprinkle it with 1 tea-
spoon of the Creole seasoning. Toss to coat. Top the shrimp with
the cheese, corn, cilantro and beans. Sprinkle the remaining tea-
spoon of Creole seasoning over everything. Fold the opposite
ends of foil together over the ingredients to form a loose bundle.
Crimp to seal.
Place the foil packet on the grill. Cover and cook for 10 min-
utes, or until the shrimp are done. Serve over hot cooked rice.
While this recipe calls for doing the entire dish in one large packet, it would be easy enough to create smaller packets and
divide the ingredients among them.

Whether you prefer your tacos hard
and crunchy or lean more to the softer
side, this grilled shrimp lling perfect
for a summer barbecue will leave you
satised.
Shrimp cook quickly, especially on the
intense heat of the grill, so be sure to
prep your other ingredients ahead of
time and set out a buffet of toppings and
tortillas. Then just toss the shrimp on the
grill and in minutes youll be enjoying
summer just a little bit more.
Trying to gure out what to drink with
these? A pale ale is a nice start. Or go
unconventional with a gently chilled
rose wine.
GRILLED SHRIMP TACOS
Start to nish: 45 minutes
Servings: 4
1 pound extra-large shrimp
Salt and ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 medium red onions, sliced
1/2 cup chopped celery
4 plum tomatoes, chopped
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce,
minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 avocado, peeled, pitted and diced
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 cup low-fat sour cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
8 taco shells or 6-inch tortillas
Heat the grill to high.
Place the shrimp in a large bowl.
Season with salt, pepper and cumin, then
toss to coat evenly.
Divide the shrimp among 6 skewers,
threading them evenly without crowding
them on the skewers. Do the same for
the onions.
Using an oil-soaked paper towel held
with tongs, lightly oil the grill grates.
Grill the shrimp for 2 minutes per side
and the onions for 5 minutes per side.
Chop the grilled red onions and place
in a medium bowl. Stir in the celery,
tomatoes, chipotle pepper and garlic.
Season with salt and black pepper. Set
aside.
In a small bowl, toss the avocado with
the lime juice. In another small bowl, stir
together the sour cream and cilantro.
To serve, set the shrimp, red onion
salsa, avocado and sour cream on the
table with the taco shells or tortillas.
Diners can assemble their own tacos.

New York probes growing energy drink industry
ALBANY, N.Y. High-octane energy drinks including 5-
Hour Energy and Monster that promise healthy bursts of ener-
gy are getting pulled over in New York.
New York state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman issued
subpoenas this summer to the drinks makers, according to a
person familiar with the inquiry, speaking to the Associated
Press on condition of anonymity because the investigation
hasnt yet been made public.
Earlier this month, Monster Beverage Corp. disclosed in a
Securities and Exchange Commission ling that an attorney
general had sent it a subpoena. The Corona, Calif.-based com-
pany didnt reveal which state it was, but the person familiar
with the inquiry said it was New York.
The maker of the ubiquitous 5-Hour Energy shots, Living
Essentials LLC, disclosed the probe to investors in a recent
private report, the person said. The person also said subpoe-
nas were sent to PepsiCo Inc., which makes AMP energy
drinks, in the investigation rst reported by The Wall Street
Journal.
The probe is examining how the drinks are made, often
loaded with caffeine and sugar, along with what critics say is
a mostly useless amount of Vitamin B, and how they are mar-
keted at sports events and sometimes in bars. That can lead to
a dizzying combination of alcohol impairment without the
sedative effect that slows drinkers down and lets them know
they arent alert enough to drive.

NEW ORLEANS The Gulf Coast braced
for the landfall of Hurricane Isaac late Tuesday,
hunkering down behind boarded-up windows
with stockpiles of food and water as wind-driv-
en rain lashed bayous and beaches. New
Orleans calmly waited out another storm on the
eve of Hurricane Katrinas seventh anniversary,
hoping the citys strengthened levees will hold.
Isaac, a massive storm spanning nearly 200
miles from its center, zeroed in on New
Orleans, turning streets famous for hosting cel-
ebrations at all hours into ghost boulevards.
Evacuations were ordered in Mississippis
coastal counties and the closure of its 12 shore-
front casinos. But there was little fear or panic.
With New Orleans airport closed, tourists
retreated to hotels and most denizens of a
coastline that has witnessed countless hurri-
canes decided to ride out the storm.
Isaac is the son of Abraham, said Margaret
Thomas, who was trapped for a week in her
home in New Orleans Broadmoor neighbor-
hood by Katrinas oodwaters, yet chose to
stay put this time. Its a special name that
means God will protect us.
Still, Isaac, which strengthened late Tuesday
to 80 mph winds and remained on track to
cross land in southern Louisiana near the
Mississippi River early this evening, drew
intense scrutiny because of its timing to the
Katrina anniversary and the rst major speech-
es of a Republican National Convention in
Tampa, Fla., already delayed and tempered by
the storm.
We dont expect a Katrina-like event, but
remember there are things about a Category 1
storm that can kill you, New Orleans Mayor
Mitch Landrieu said, urging people to use com-
mon sense and to stay off any streets that may
ood.
Other ofcials, chastened by memories and
experience, advised caution. Tens of thousands
of people were told to leave low-lying areas,
including 700 patients of Louisiana nursing
homes.
Many residents along the Gulf Coast opted
to ride it out in shelters or at home and ofcials,
while sounding alarm about the dangers of the
powerful storm, decided not to call for the
mass evacuations like those that preceded
Katrina, which packed 135 mph winds in 2005.

SEOUL, South Korea A powerful
typhoon pounded South Korea with strong
winds and heavy rain Tuesday, killing nine
and churning up rough seas that smashed two
Chinese shing ships into rocks and forced
the coast guard to perform a daring rescue of
survivors.
Rescuers saved 12 shermen and searched
for 10 still missing from the ships that hit
rocks off South Koreas southern Jeju island.
Five shermen were killed, ofcials said.
Separately, at least four other people died
as Typhoon Bolaven knocked out power to
hundreds of thousands of South Koreans,
canceled ights and temporarily halted joint
war games by U.S. and South Korean mili-
tary forces.
North Korea, which is still struggling to
rebuild from massive oods and a devastating
drought before that, was next in the typhoons
path. Heavy rain and strong winds hit many
parts of the country Tuesday, a day that was
supposed to be a North Korean celebration of
its young people.
The typhoon knocked down hundreds of
trees, destroyed power cables and caused
blackouts in the western cities of Kaesong
and Haeju, the Norths official Korean
Central News Agency said. It said damage
was expected to grow as the typhoon moves
across the country.
Off South Koreas Jeju island, dangerous
waves kept rescue vessels from approaching
the wrecked shing ships. The coast guard
used a special gun to shoot rope to one ship
so ofcers could pull themselves over and
bring the shermen back to shore, coast
guard spokesman Ko Chang-keon said.
Eighteen fishermen survived. The coast
guard rescued 12, and the others swam or
were washed ashore.
South Korea issued a storm warning for the
capital, Seoul, as Bolaven battered the coun-
trys south and west, knocking over street
lights and church spires and ripping signs
from stores. A large container box crushed an
apartment janitor to death, a woman fell to
her death from a rooftop where she kept dried
red peppers and another person died after
bricks hit a house, according to disaster and
re ofcials. An 80-year-old man died after
a small makeshift building fell on him, of-
cials said.

DATEBOOK 23
Option 15, that calls for eliminating the
on- and off-ramps at Poplar altogether
and add southbound on- and off-ramps
at Peninsula Avenue using a tight dia-
mond design.
Initially, Option 15 had the potential
for property takings but the council
directed staff to reevaluate it to see if
the concept could be built with no prop-
erty impacts to adjacent businesses and
an apartment complex.
Tonight, the citys Public Works
Department will host an open house at
City Hall to allow residents to ask ques-
tions and comment on the reevaluation
of Option 15. The citys project team
will host a drop-in session where staff
will update small groups on the project
background and the current tight dia-
mond evaluation.
Yesterday, the Public Works
Department indicated to the Daily
Journal that its reevaluation of Option
15 does include potential property tak-
ings.
Per councils request, the Public
Works team evaluated Option 15 the
addition of southbound ramps at
Peninsula Avenue and the prelimi-
nary reevaluation shows property
impacts. The extent of the impacts will
not be known without further design
efforts, according to a statement sent
to the Daily Journal by the Public
Works Department.
Additional design will only occur if
the City Council requests further analy-
sis of the option. The project team will
be showing a drawing that illustrates a
potential design of the ramps and it will
show potential impacts but we will not
be quantifying or speculating on these
impacts at this time, as detailed discus-
sion of potential property acquisition
cannot occur until after environmental
review has been completed and a proj-
ect defined. If the council directs us to
proceed with additional analysis, it will
include further design and environmen-
tal review, according to the statement.
Both options 2A and 15 are accept-
able to Caltrans but Option 2A was
viewed as the most cost effective and
only option that could be constructed in
a short timeline, according to feedback
from the community the department has
collected through various workshops.
Option 15 would take five years or
more, however, to be implemented.
Ben Toy, president of the San Mateo
United Homeowners Association, has
participated in most of the workshops
conducted by the city over the past few
years on the issue.
For Toy, installing a median on
Poplar would just be a Band-Aid.
With new developments popping up
along the corridor, he said, Poplar will
be overloaded.
He favors Option 15 since major
developments are approved in
Burlingame at the old drive-in property
east of Highway 101.
It would be a better traffic solution,
he said, and can be done without signif-
icant property impacts.
After tonights open house, the City
Council is expected to hold a study ses-
sion on Option 15 prior to its Sept. 4
regular meeting.
The city has studied up to 13 different
design options for the intersection over
the past eight years and has since whit-
tled that number down to two.
An increase in accidents prompted
San Mateo city officials to look at
changing the Highway 101 off-ramp at
Poplar Avenue and Amphlett Boulevard
back in 2004. The city began to consid-
er changes at the Poplar Avenue inter-
change once Caltrans approved the
widening of the Peninsula Avenue over-
pass that divides San Mateo and
Burlingame.
The center median along Poplar is
considered to be the low-cost alterna-
tive that can be constructed quickly.
Traffic conflicts will be reduced on
Poplar, however, Option 2A increases
traffic on Humboldt Street and requires
Humboldt to become a truck route,
according to staff.
Closure of the Poplar ramps with
construction of southbound on- and off-
ramps at Peninsula, which involves a
tight diamond design, is the most
complex and costly of the options.
Option 15 improves traffic safety on
Poplar but adds traffic to Peninsula and
Humboldt. It is the only option that has
the potential for right-of-way acquisi-
tion.
The open house is 4 p.m., tonight,
conference room C, City Hall, 330 W.

warm shell.
But speaker James Lee, an organizer
with Occupy, said terms like warm
shell and the need to replace the
deplorable womens jail should not be
used to make the plan more palatable.
These are all just ways to gild the
cage, Lee said.
Currently, the new 576-bed jail is
expected to open in 2015 with a roughly
$155 million construction price tag fol-
lowed by $25 million to $27 million in
annual operating expenses
Ground broke in June and jail planners
and architects are narrowing down a
design.
The rst option is a low-rise building
configuration with administrative/sup-
port services on the ground oor and
inmate housing above. The second pos-
sibility is a mid-rise building congura-
tion with administrative/support services
in a two-story structure separate from
inmate housing which will be located in
a three-story building.
Munks and several members of the
board said they favor the second option.
Both designs separate male and female
inmates and take into consideration the
needs of inmates with longer or extend-
ed stay lengths under the state realign-
ment. Realignment shifted some low-
level offenders from state prison to
county jails and kept some convicts local
rather than sending them to prison.
Board President Adrienne Tissier will
soon appoint two supervisors to a sub-
committee to talk about what the warm
shell space can look like and how com-
munity-based organizations can be
expanded in the jail to make the best use
of precious dollars. She also said those
discussions will be shaped in part by
learning more about the impacts of
realignment of which a year update is
due this fall.
You dont want to do things and then
nd out you dont have the space to do
it, Tissier said.
But while the jail planners push ahead,
opponents like those yesterday hoisting
signs like Schools not jails and Hope
not jails say theres still time for recon-
sideration.
Its not too late to put the brakes on
this new jail, said Linnea Nelson, a
criminal justice and drug policy fellow
with the American Civil Liberties
Union.

JAIL
An increase in accidents prompted San
Mateo city ofcials to look at changing
the Highway 101 off-ramp at Poplar
Avenue and Amphlett Boulevard back
in 2004.
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29, 2012
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It behooves you to fol-
low your instincts when it comes to your business
dealings. If nothing more, use these perceptions as
support for your logical assessments.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Make it a point to take
some of the slack out of a fading friendship that
you havent had much time for lately. There are few
things more valuable than good chums.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- The race is likely to be
won by the smartest, not necessarily the swiftest,
when it comes to a career matter. Be sure to use
that thinking cap of yours, so you dont trip over your
own feet.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If youre alert, you
have a good chance of learning something extremely
important from a good friend. However, whats said
should be restricted to the parties involved.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your determination
in pursuing your objectives is impressive, but equally
important is that others recognize your intentions and
make it a point to get out of your way.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If you believe it is
necessary to make a diffcult decision that everyone
else is putting off, have the courage to stick to your
guns and do so.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- This is likely to be the
day when you promised yourself youd embark on
carefully laid out plans. If you know each step you
must take, there isnt any reason why you shouldnt
succeed.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- By staying in the
middle at all times, youll fare much better in your
dealings with friends. If youre smart, you wont let it
be known which side you really think is right.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Spare yourself from
calling in an expensive repairman by exercising
preventive maintenance. If you play it safe, you wont
be sorry.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Be sure to include an
extremely introverted, shy friend in your plans. If the
invitation doesnt come from you, it isnt likely to be
issued at all, because no one else will think of it.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The entire clan is likely
to proft when the shopping duties are put in your
hands. Your caring nature makes you very attentive
to everyones needs and wants.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You should take advantage
of the opportunity to clear the air with a friend when
the opportunity presents itself. Dont hesitate to talk
it out in detail until both parties are satisfed.

PUNTO FIJO, Venezuela Venezuelas
biggest oil refinery remained shut down
Tuesday after reghters extinguished a blaze
that raged for more than three days following
an explosion that killed at least 41 people.
While fuel tanks smoldered at the Amuay
renery, Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez said of-
cials expected to restart operations at the ren-
ery in two days.
The blast early Saturday was the deadliest
disaster ever at a Venezuelan renery and has
thrown open a national debate about safety and
maintenance within the countrys oil industry.
The debate has also touched the presidential
campaign, with President Hugo Chavezs rival
calling for a transparent and thorough investi-
gation.
The re took longer to put out than ofcials
had initially hoped. Ramirez had said Saturday
that the state oil company would be able to
restart the renery in a maximum of two
days, then later said it would be two days once
the re was out.
Now of course come all of the subsequent
tasks: evaluation, securing the entire area,
Ramirez told the Caracas-based television net-
work Telesur on Tuesday morning. He said
reghters were still working in the area spray-
ing the tanks with foam to cool them down.
We need to check all the lines, all the con-
nections, all the valves, Ramirez said. He
added that the disaster hadnt affected the ren-
ery complexs productive capacity, although
operations were halted while the res burned.
Ofcials said the explosion killed at least 41
people, including at least 20 National Guard
soldiers stationed next to the renery, and
injured more than 150.
Government ofcials had said on Monday
that the fire was under control but then
announced that a third tank had begun burning.
Residents said the ames nally began to
diminish several hours before dawn on
Tuesday.
Criticisms of the governments response
came from some of the renerys neighbors as
well as oil experts.
Ofcials have said a gas leak led to the blast,
but investigators have yet to determine the pre-
cise causes.
Investigators entered damaged areas to gath-
er clues, Ramirez said. He declined to discuss
details of the probe but said ofcials had fol-
lowed safety protocols once they detected the
gas leak in an area of fuel storage tanks shortly
before the blast.
Another state oil company official told
Chavez during a televised conversation Sunday
that at about midnight ofcials had detected the
leak and went out to the street to block traf-
c.
Residents said they had no ofcial warning
before the explosion hit at about 1 a.m.
Saturday. The blast knocked down walls, shat-
tered windows and left streets littered with rub-
ble.
On Tuesday, residents said they were
relieved the re was out.
Edgar Medina was working with his father to
clear rubble that blocked the way to what
remained of their windowless home. Now
what we hope is that they help us rebuild every-
thing.
Chavez, who visited injured victims in a hos-
pital Monday, announced the creation of a 100
million bolivar ($23 million) fund to help
rebuild. He said more than 500 homes were
damaged.
On Tuesday, Chavez spoke at a televised
Cabinet meeting and praised state oil company
ofcials and reghters for their handling of
the disaster. He paused for a live appearance by
Gov. Stella Lugo in Falcon state, where the
renery is located, as she presented homes to
families at a new government housing project.
The disaster occurred little more than a
month before Venezuelas Oct. 7 presidential
election. Opposition candidate Henrique
Capriles said Monday that the tragedy should-
nt be politicized, but he also strongly criticized
a remark by Chavez, who said that the show
should continue, with our pain, with our sor-
row, with our victims.
Fire doused at Venezuela refinery hit by explosion
it continue operating on after-the-fact permits.
On Tuesday, the board still questioned how
much leeway to give operations that arent
directly related to agricultural operations and
ultimately delayed two weeks a vote on
amending the Williamson Act contract with
Arata.
A Williamson Act contract offers tax incen-
tives on agriculture land. The Arata farm
counts pumpkins, corn and fava beans as its
agricultural output.
But county supervisors, many who ques-
tioned just how a haunted barn or any other
number of attractions can count as agricultur-
al or educational, want to see proposed agri-
tourism guidelines before making a decision.
The board did agree a vote must be made at
the Sept. 11 meeting as not to hinder the
upcoming Halloween season for the Arata
farm.
The board also considered simply extending
the Arata permit temporarily again or some-
how waiving the restriction but nally decid-
ed it preferred to make some permanent deci-
sions regarding the contract and growing agri-
tourism industry.
The question highlights the ongoing strug-
gle between maintaining precious agriculture
land and the new ways the countys world-
renowned pumpkin businesses are looking to
bring in tourists and their dollars. Other coast-
side farms also operate attractions and all but
Lemos Farm have agricultural contracts.
However, the attractions do not sit on prime
farm land.
Although the Williamson Act is a state func-
tion, counties are allowed to amend the 10-
year long contracts if both parties agree. The
amendment proposed yesterday would expand
the countys denition of compatible uses as
long as they are secondary to agriculture. For
instance, Arata can put up its hay maze or col-
iseum but only for 45 days because the land is
not available for agriculture during that time.
Attorney Steve Wilson, representing owner
Gary Arata, thanked county staff and ofcials
for its efforts to remedy archaic rules and
place the farm on the same level as others that
allow the uses. To work with county restric-
tions, Wilson said the hay maze has been dis-
assembled and King Kong a gorilla that
once held court in the hay eld has been
placed in hibernation.
The countys Planning and Building
Department is currently working on guide-
lines clarifying agri-tourism uses to ensure
they dont signicantly compromise the long-
term productive agricultural capability of any
given parcel. Once the guidelines are nal,
they would be used to better determine any
necessary agri-tourism restrictions or
allowances at the Arata farm.
But not everybody was happy with yester-
days request.
I think youre going to have lots of dif-
culty with setting limits and then having those
limits adhered to, said Lennie Roberts of
Committee for Green Foothills.
B.J. Burns of the countys Farm Bureau said
the parcel is too small and nothing on it can be
considered compatible with agriculture
because nothing on it now even is agriculture.
If that was agriculture, wed be here to
support it, he said.
Burns said agriculture is serious and must
be protected from agri-tourism.
The Arata request is a continuation of a
struggle between he and operator Chris
Gounalakis and the county dating back to
September 2011 when a family lawsuit set off
greater inspection of what one supervisor at
the time referred to as its amusement park
atmosphere.
Arata Pumpkin Farm sits on a little more
than eight acres on Verde Road to the east of
Cabrillo Highway and bordered by Lobitos
Creek. Of that, 2.94 acres is under agricultur-
al production and the remainder includes a
home, three barns and covered sales building.
The farm began in the 30s as a simple
roadside stand but grew, particularly ramping
up in the late 90s and the early part of last
decade after Arata inherited half the owner-
ship from his father. Arata and Gounalakis
built a hay maze, a coliseum made out of hay
bales for sword-ghting duels, a haunted
barn, a petting zoo, pony rides and a train for
rides.
But after then-co-owner Lillian Arata con-
tacted the county inquiring about permits,
Gounalakis was ordered to move the maze,
limit parking and make other concessions to
receive the after-the-fact permits. Lillian
Arata appealed the permits, claiming she did
not consent and citing a number of violations
including the land use is inconsistent with the
countys general plan and Williamson Act
agriculture requirements. The Board of
Supervisors then voted 5-0 to uphold the per-
mits but only until that December.
FARM
in 1986 that allowed for a small percentage of
the ground oor to be devoted to any type of
ofce use.
In 2000, however, the City Council adopted
an urgency ordinance prohibiting the estab-
lishment of any new ground oor ofces in
downtown during the dot-com boom.
Earlier this year, downtown property owner
Steve Musich requested a conditional-use per-
mit to allow startup SnapLogic to occupy
some ground-oor space at the Collective
Antiques building on Third Avenue.
But the Planning Commission denied the
request as did the City Council on an appeal.
Musich said that move would likely send
SnapLogic looking elsewhere to expand.
Musich has since sold the Collective
Antiques building to venture capitalist Tim
Draper, who started a university for entrepre-
neurs across the street at the old Benjamin
Franklin Hotel.
Draper has not indicated his plans yet for
the historical building on Third Avenue but it
will likely not be for a retail use.
A market analysis conducted by consultant
Aecom, indicates that despite San Mateos
relatively strong performance, there are
under-performing retail businesses and exist-
ing vacancies in downtown. The size of the
ground-oor retail space is often cited as the
key reason for under-performance and vacan-
cy. Retail depths of greater that 40 to 60 feet
are generally too large for most retail tenants
and has resulted in properties that do not take
full advantage of the retail potential.
The Downtown San Mateo Association
favors the changes to code to allow for more
ofce use on ground oors downtown.
Commercial Realtor Clarke Funkhouser
also supports the changes noting that a prop-
erty at 18-20 Third Avenue has been vacant
for nearly 15 years. Relaxing the retail
requirements could help ll the space, he said.
