Doctor sent to
jail, wants to
withdraw plea
Child psychiatrist had previously
pleaded nocontest to molestation
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
For the victims of William Hamilton
Ayres and their families, yesterday morn-
ing was the moment theyd been waiting
decades to see the once-prominent
child psychiatrist wheeled off into sher-
iffs custody to begin serving time for
molesting several former patients.
Ayres, 81, wont be formally sentenced
until Aug. 26 but Judge Beth Labson Freeman ordered him
taken to the county jail to await that hearing and a manda-
tory doctors report on his likelihood to reoffend. The jail
time served will count as credit toward his ultimate prison
sentence.
Adding another wrinkle to an already lengthy court histo-
ry with plenty of twists, Ayres now wants to withdraw the

The South San Francisco City Council
opted against placing an increase in its
business tax on the Nov. 5 ballot at a spe-
cial meeting yesterday morning.
No vote was required since the council
came to a consensus that it didnt want to
consider placing it on the ballot.
During a private, closed session meeting,
city staff reviewed a condential alternative
proposal presented by a billboard company
Clear Channels Bruce Qualls, vice presi-
dent of Real Estate and Government Affairs.
The company opposed the councils meas-
ure. It is also planning for new digital bill-
boards in the city.
Assistant City Manager Marty Van Duyn
said city ordinances dont allow for digital
billboards, and to pave the way for Clear
Channel to install its billboards, the coun-
cil considered the tax change. Clear
Channels application to the city to allow
for digital billboard installation in the city
is still a live issue, he said.
Asking the city to change legislative
policy, Van Duyn said. Its a big thing to
do. They are still seeking legislative
amendments [from the] city for digital bill-
boards. Our ballot measure gave a level of
opportunity, so that if we had a tax on bill-
boards, revenues would increase.
Councilman Pradeep Gupta echoed much
of the councils views.
Its a complex issue, in my opinion, dig-
ital billboards and non-store tax proposals
have implications that go beyond the lim-
its of the city, Gupta said. We want to
make sure were not exposing to the city to
risk.

Cardboard officer cuts
crime at subway stop
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. The burly
ofcer watching over the bike racks at
a Boston-area transportation hub is a
real stiff.
As part of an effort to cut crime at
the Alewife MBTAsubway and bus sta-
tion in Cambridge, transit police
placed a cardboard cutout of a police
ofcer in the bicycle cage. Hundreds
of people use the racks daily.
Deputy Chief Robert Lenehan says
the fake cop, along with video cam-
eras and a new lock, has cut bike
thefts by 67 percent.
Its also a money saver. Lenehan
estimates it would cost $200,000 a
year to have an ofcer watch over the
cage full-time.
Dead shark is found in
subway car, disposed of
NEW YORK Did a fan of Shark
Week get carried away?
New York Citys transit authority
says a conductor found a small dead
shark aboard a subway train in Queens
on Wednesday.
The conductor asked passengers to
leave the car and closed it off. The
train continued to the end of the line,
and then a supervisor placed the shark
in a garbage bag and put it in the
trash.
Photos on the blog Gothamist
depict the shark on the subway. It
appears to be about 4 feet long, has a
cigarette in its mouth with a fare card
and Red Bull can nearby.
Man finds maggots on
sandwich at Atlanta airport
ATLANTA Arestaurant says it has
switched vendors after a customer
found a cluster of maggots on his
sandwich at Atlantas airport.
Weekly traveler Joel Woloshuk told
WSB-TV Tuesday that he bought a
sandwich from Caf Intermezzo and
realized the white specks on top of it
were maggots not parmesan
when they began moving.
In a statement to WSB-TV, Caf
Intermezzos president said the case
was isolated and the problem could
not have originated at the restaurant.
He says the restaurant switched bread
vendors and not a single crumb from
the original bakery remains.

Frankenfish hooked
in Virginia a world record
SPOTSYLVANIA, Va. A Virginia
man who caught a fish known as
Frankensh has set a world record.
Caleb Newton hooked the 17-
pound, 6-ounce northern snakehead in
a creek in northern Virginia during a
fishing tournament June 1. The
Frankenfish gets its nickname
because of its appearance and adapt-
ability. The invasive species native
to Asia is able to breathe air and sur-
vive in very shallow waters or mud.
The Free Lance-Star reports the
International Game Fish Association
conrmed the record catch. It beat a
snakehead caught in Japan in 2004 by
2 ounces.
Utah man accused of running
speakeasy from garage
SANDY, Utah A Utah man who
police say ran a speakeasy out of his
garage for years in the middle of a sub-
urban residential neighborhood has
been arrested after he sold drinks to an
undercover ofcer.
Jared Williams, 33, of Sandy has
pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor
charge of running a business without a
license, court records show. He was
arrested on June 13 by several Sandy
police ofcers who converged on his
house.
Police had been hearing about prob-
lems in the neighborhood for some
time, but nally got a specic tip
about Williams house in May, said
Sandy Police Sgt. Jon Arnold. The
undercover ofcer went there in early
June and had a drink alongside about
10 other people.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND The Bay Area Rapid Transit
agency and two of its unions appeared a long
way from resolving their bitter contract dis-
pute as each stated their case Wednesday
before a fact-nding appointed panel by
Gov. Jerry Brown as the threat of another
strike looms.
Tens of millions of dollars apparently sep-
arate BARTs contract proposal from that of
its unions, the parties said as each repeatedly
disputed the exact amount of the difference.
Unfortunately, we remain far apart on the
major issues of this contract, BARTGeneral
Manager Grace Crunican testied. That is
why we are here today.
Crunican said BART is trying to balance
investing in workers with the long term sus-
tainability and nancial health of the transit
system.
But, Vincent Harrington, an attorney for
the Service Employees International Union
(SEIU), told the panel, We are not ashamed
to be bargaining to defend a middle-class
wage and benet package. No one should be
ashamed of that.
His comments prompted union members in
the audience, many in purple SEIU T-shirts,
to applaud.
The panel was appointed by Brown on
Sunday, as a strike that would have snarled
the Monday morning commute loomed.
The panel was given seven days to investi-
gate the contract dispute and report its nd-
ings to the governor, who can then petition
a court to call a 60-day cooling off period in
the negotiations. BARTtrains would contin-
ue to run during that period.
The panel will explain the positions of
BARTand the union but will not nd fault or
issue a recommendation. The panel has until
Sunday night to submit a report to the gover-
nor.
However, there is potential for a strike on
Monday if a cooling-off period is not
declared and the two sides are unable to reach
a deal by Sunday night. The parties are sched-
uled to resume bargaining Thursday.
BART Senior Attorney Vicki Nuetzel said
the agency and the unions are $100 million
apart in a proposed four-year contract. But,
Kate Hallward, an attorney for the
Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU), the other
union battling BART, disputed that gure,
pegging the difference at about $56 million
for a three-year contract.
Later, Carter Mau, BARTs budget director,
still sticking to a $100 million gap over four
years, told the panel that a gap over three
years would actually be about $62 million.
The labor dispute has already resulted in a 4
1/2-day strike last month that snarled trafc
on roadways and left commuters with long
lines for buses and ferries.
The nations fifth largest rail system,
BARTcarries an estimated 400,000 daily rid-
ers from the farthest reaches of San
Franciscos densely populated eastern sub-
urbs to San Francisco International Airport
across the bay.
Paul Oversier, BARTs assistant general
manager, urged the governor to request a 60-
day cooling-off period, saying a strike would
hurt the economy and create serious threats
to public health and safety.
For those people who have no viable
option other than BART, a strike represents
nothing less than a temporary immobiliza-
tion of their lives, he said.
Also Wednesday, the San Francisco
Chamber of Commerce went a step further
and asked for the parties to continue around-
the-clock negotiations and bring an arbitra-
tor if necessary to reach a deal.
BART and its unions continue to squabble
over wages, pension and employees health
care contribution.
BART employees represented by ATU and
the SEIU average about $71,000 in base
salary and $11,000 in overtime annually.
They pay nothing toward their pensions and
a $92-a-month at fee for health insurance,
according to BART.
BARTsaid it has offered to raise salaries by
9 percent, up from 8 percent, over four years.
It also scrapped its proposal to have employ-
ees pay a percentage of health care premium
increases. Instead, employees could pay the
$92 at rate for the cheapest plan or pay
more for higher cost plans, BART ofcials
said.
Union ofcials countered that any pro-
posed raise would be offset by takeaways in
benets. The unions are seeking a 15 percent
raise over three years, according to BART.

positions before panel

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
A San Mateo County jury took little time
Tuesday afternoon before rendering Maurice
Banks guilty of ve criminal counts related to
a December 2010 beating and attempted sexu-
al assault of a young woman in a Redwood
City motel room.
Closing arguments were completed yester-
day morning in San Mateo County Superior
Court on day six of the criminal trial of
Banks, 47, a Redwood City transient. The
jury, comprised of 10 women and two men,
began deliberations around noon yesterday.
Banks was found guilty of ve counts
intent to commit rape while in the process of
a burglary, residential burglary, committing a
felony assault, attempting to force oral copu-
lation and felony indecent exposure. He faces
14 years to life when he is sentenced on Sept.
20, according to San Mateo County District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Banks was arrested in connection with an
early morning assault on a woman who had
rented a room next door to Banks at the
Garden Motel at 1690 Broadway. Prosecutors
said the victim had rented the room at the
motel to quietly study for upcoming nal
exams.
Prosecutors allege that Banks broke into
the womans room through a small window
early the morning of Dec. 4, 2010, and
severely beat her in his attempt to rape her.
The victim, referred to in the case as Jane Doe,
was assaulted so savagely that her eye orbit
bones were fractured and she will likely suffer
from permanent vision impairment.
The victim called 911 just after 4:30 a.m. to
report the assault, and Banks was arrested
hours later.
The victim said that after she saw the intrud-
er, whom she identied afterward as Banks,
she tried to run from the room but was grabbed
from behind and thrown on her bed, according
to the prosecution.
She claimed that the attacker punched her
numerous times in the face and choked her
until she lost consciousness. When she came
to, her pants were around her knees and he was
standing over her demand-
ing oral sex, prosecutors
said.
The victim was able to
sprint from the room and
report the crime.
In court Tuesday, Deputy
District Attorney Ivan
Nightengale used a projec-
tor to show the jury a pic-
ture of the victims
swollen and discolored
face during his closing argument.
Look at her face he pummeled her mer-
cilessly and for no good reason except that he
wanted to have sex with her, Nightengale
said.
In addition to bruising and swelling,
Nightengale listed Jane Does injuries as a
fractured orbital oor, bilateral nasal fracture
and permanent vision impairment.
This case is not a whodunit, Nightengale
said. There is so much DNA in this case
showing exactly who did it.
Nightengale said Banks blood and DNA
were found in the victims room and that a T-
shirt found in Banks motel room contained
Jane Does blood.
Jane Does testimony and hard scientic
evidence show that he is guilty beyond a rea-
sonable doubt, Nightengale said.
Abespectacled, clean-shaven Banks wore a
blue dress shirt with a crimson striped tie in
court. He was quiet, sitting expressionless
and hunched to the right, resting his cheek on
his right hand with his eyes xed on the jury
for most of the closing arguments.
Defense attorney Jeff Hayden called the
prosecutions case against his client riddled
with cognitive bias. He said there were at
least 16-17 reasons for the jury to have rea-
sonable doubt.
Hayden said he believes conclusions were
made that were based on bias, leading police
to simply grab the wrong guy.
Hayden brought up expert testimony by
defense witness Celia Hartnett, who on
Tuesday disputed the prosecutions claim that
a boot print left at the crime scene matched
boots owned by Banks.

keeping glucose at a healthy level.
Alzheimers is by far the most com-
mon form of dementia and its long
been known that diabetes makes it
more likely. The new study tracked
blood sugar over time in all sorts of
people with and without diabetes
to see how it affects risk for the mind-
robbing disease.
The results challenge current think-
ing by showing that its not just the
high glucose levels of diabetes that are
a concern, said the studys leader, Dr.
Paul Crane of the University of
Washington in Seattle.
Its a nice, clean pattern risk
rises as blood sugar does, said Dallas
Anderson, a scientist at the National
Institute on Aging, the federal agency
that paid for the study.
This is part of a larger picture and
adds evidence that exercising and con-
trolling blood pressure, blood sugar
and cholesterol are a viable way to
delay or prevent dementia, he said.
Because so many attempts to devel-
op effective drugs have failed, It
looks like, at the moment, sort of our
best bet, Anderson said. We have to
do something. If we just do nothing
and wait around till theres some kind
of cocktail of pills, we could be wait-
ing a long time.
About 35 million people worldwide
have dementia; in the United States,
about 5 million have Alzheimers dis-
ease. What causes it isnt known.
Current treatments just temporarily
ease symptoms. People who have dia-
betes dont make enough insulin, or
their bodies dont use insulin well, to
turn food into energy. That causes
sugar in the blood to rise, which can
damage the kidneys and other organs
possibly the brain, researchers
say.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
AWyoming man accused of stealing
a yacht from Sausalito and taking a
Santa Cruz couple on a joyride to
Pacica where the vessel ran aground
will stand trial in September on
charges of grand theft, receiving
stolen property and vandalism.
Leslie Alan Gardner, 63, set the
Sept. 23 trial date after rst pleading
not guilty in San Mateo County
Superior Court.
Prosecutors say Gardner told a Santa
Cruz couple he had inherited a boat and
asked if they wanted
to take a trip. On
March 4, the three,
along with a fourth
person, drove to the
Sausalito Yacht
Harbor where
Gardener and the
couple climbed
aboard the 82-foot
vessel Darling
with plans to meet the other man down
the Peninsula. The three partied on
board with beer and pizza before
falling asleep. The yacht was found
when it ran aground in shallow water
near Linda Mar Beach in Pacica later
the morning of the theft. Sausalito
police received a call from the yachts
owner who saw news coverage of the
incident then thought to be a rescue
mission and recognized the boat as
his own. All three aboard were initial-
ly arrested but the two with Gardner
were ultimately released because
authorities had doubts about whether
they knew the yacht was stolen.
Gardner remains in custody on $1.01
million bail. He returns to court Aug.
26 for a pretrial conference.

STATE/NATION
By Lolita C. Baldor
WASHINGTON The Pentagon
is poised to extend health care,
housing and other benets to the
same-sex spouses of military
members by the end of August, but
may reverse earlier plans to pro-
vide benets to gay partners who
are not married.
According to a draft Defense
Department memo obtained
Wednesday by the Associated
Press, the department instead may
provide up to 10 days of leave to
military personnel in same-sex
relationships so they can travel to
states where they can marry legal-
l y.
While no nal decisions have
been made, the memo from
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to
top defense leaders would reverse
an earlier plan that would allow
the same-sex partners of military
members to sign a declaration
form in order to receive limited
benets, such as access to military
stores and some health and welfare
programs.
The recent Supreme Court deci-
sion extending federal benets to
legally married same-sex couples
eliminates the need for such a
plan, Hagel said in the draft.
As the Supreme Courts ruling
has made it possible for same-sex
couples to marry and be afforded
all benets available to any mili-
tary spouse and family, I have
determined, consistent with the
unanimous advice of the members
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, that
the spousal and family benets far
outweigh the benets that could be
extended under a declaration sys-
tem, Hagel wrote.
According to a U.S. ofcial, the
memo is under legal review by the
Justice Department, and the
Pentagon will not be able to take
any action until that review is n-
ished.
Although we have bases and
installations in all 50 states, not
all state laws are equal when it
comes to same sex marriage, a
defense ofcial said. That is why
we are looking at providing extra
leave for same sex couples who
want to get married to travel to a
state where same sex marriages are
legal. The officials were not
authorized to discuss the memo
publicly, so spoke on condition
of anonymity.
Pentagon officials would not
comment on the specics of the
memo. A Defense Department
spokesman, Lt. Cmdr. Nate
Christensen, said only that the
Pentagon is working alongside
the Department of Justice to
implement the courts decision as
quickly as possible.
In February, then-Defense
Secretary Leon Panetta announced
that by no later than Oct. 1 the
Pentagon would extend some lim-
ited benets to same-sex partners
of service members. Housing ben-
ets were not included, but the
plans called for same-sex partners
to get special identication cards
granting them access to commis-
saries and other services.
The benets would be contin-
gent on the service member and
their same-sex partner signing a
declaration that they were in a
committed relationship.
At the time, ofcials said that if
the Supreme Court ruled on the fed-
eral Defense of Marriage Act the
issue would be revisited. The act
prohibited the federal government
from recognizing any marriage
other than that between a man and
a woman.
In late June, the court cleared the
way for legally married gay cou-
ples to be recognized under federal
law, and also allowed same-sex
marriages in California to resume.
It did not issue any sweeping dec-
larations that would allow same-
sex couples to marry anywhere in
the country.
When the ruling was announced,
Hagel said the Pentagon would
reassess the departments deci-
sions on benefits for same-sex
couples, and also begin the
process of extending benets to
same-sex spouses of military
members.
In the new draft memo, Hagel
says the department intends to
treat all married military person-
nel the same and make the same
benets available to all military
spouses, regardless of sexual ori-
entation.

FRESNO Fruit ies that are
highly destructive to crops are
now permanently established in
California and spreading, accord-
ing to a new study published on
Wednesday.
The study, published in the sci-
ence journal Proceedings of the
Royal Society B, found that
despite decades of costly eradica-
tion efforts by the state, the
Mediterranean fruit fly and the
Oriental fruit y have not been
eliminated.
The ies populations are cur-
rently low, said study co-author
and University of California,
Davis entomologist James Carey.
But if the state does not change its
long-term strategy to control the
ies, the future could bring fre-
quent, widespread infestation out-
breaks that would devastate
Californias $43.5 billion agricul-
tural industry, he said.
At least ve and as many as nine
species of tropical fruit ies are
now entrenched in California, the
study determined.
The study also found that
Californias fruit flies are not
brought in by visitors or cargo
shipments from outside the coun-
try, as authorities claim.
Theyre here, theyre estab-
lished and lurking, Carey said.
Its like an insidious cancer thats
just metastasizing and spreading,
and it will eventually develop into
a full-edged cancer.
In addition to current strategies,
the state should formulate long-
term emergency plans, increase
trapping and monitoring of the
ies, and create a crop insurance
program for farmers, Carey said.

WASHINGTON Smartphones dont
make smart babies, an advocacy group
declared Wednesday in a complaint to the
government about mobile apps that claim
to help babies learn.
The Campaign for a Commercial-Free
Childhood, whose allegations against
Baby Einstein videos eventually led to
nationwide consumer refunds, is urgi ng
federal regulators to examine the market-
ing practices of Fisher-Prices Laugh &
Learn mobile apps and Open Solutions
games, such as Baby Hear and Read and
Baby First Puzzle.
The Boston-based group says develop-
ers are trying to dupe parents into think-
ing apps are more educational than enter-
taining. Its the campaigns first com-
plaint to the Federal Trade Commission
against the mobile app industry as part of
its broader push to hold businesses
accountable for marketing claims about
their technology to very young children
and their parents.
Everything we know about brain
research and child development points
away from using screens to educate
babies, said Susan Linn, the groups
director. The research shows that
machines and screen media are a really
ineffective way of teaching a baby lan-
guage. What babies need for healthy brain
development is active play, hands-on cre-
ative play and face-to-face interaction.
The American Academy of Pediatrics dis-
courages any electronic screen time for
infants and toddlers under 2, while older
children should be limited to one to two
hours a day. It cites one study that found
infant videos can delay language develop-
ment, and warns that no studies have doc-
umented a benefit of early viewing.
In a statement provided to the
Associated Press, Open Solutions said it
agrees that electronics are not a substitute
for human interaction. But it noted the
many positive reviews its apps have
received by customers.
We also dont say get this game and let
it teach your child everything, wrote the
company, based in Bratislava, Slovakia.
We assume (the) child is playing the
game with parent/sister/baby sitter. We
think we have apps that can help parents
with babies, either by entertaining babies
or help them see new things, animals,
hear their sounds, etc.
Kathleen Alfano, senior director of child
research for Fisher-Price, said in a state-
ment that toy development at the East
Aurora, N.Y.-based company begins with
extensive research by experts in early
childhood development to create appro-
priate toys for the ways children play, dis-
cover and grow.

At some Walgreen stores, there are health
clinics staffed by nurse practitioners, cafes
that sell barista-prepared coffee and
Eyebrow Bars where trained professionals
groom unruly facial hair.
Oh, and pharmacists ll prescriptions,
too.
The nations major drugstore chains are
moving beyond simply doling out drugs and
Kleenex. Theyre opening more in-store
clinics and offering more health care prod-
ucts in part to serve an aging population
that will need more care.
Its also a response to the massive U.S.
health care overhaul, which is expected to
add about 25 million newly insured people
who will need medical care and prescrip-
tions. And drugstores are offering more
services as a way to boost revenue in the
face of competition from retailers like
Safeway and Wal-Mart that have added in-
store pharmacies.
Beth Stiller, a divisional vice president at
Walgreen, the nations largest drugstore
chain, said the changes are necessary
because time-pressed customers have come
to expect that they will be able to do more
than just ll a prescription at drugstores.
We live in a world where personalization
and ... high-touch service is much more
expected, agreed Helena Foulkes, chief
health care strategy and marketing ofcer
for CVS Caremark Corp., the nations No. 2
drugstore chain.
The move toward expanding products and
services has been gradual. Up until about
ve years ago, the major drugstore chains
focused on adding stores, not services. Then
when states started allowing pharmacists to
provide u shots, it paved the way for drug-
stores to begin offering other immuniza-
tions for diseases like pneumonia and shin-
gles.
And after Congress passed the health care
overhaul in 2010, drugstores started adding
more in-store clinics to help serve the
newly insured population that will be creat-
ed by that law. At the same time, grocers and
other big retailers have started beeng up
their health care offerings to compete with
pharmacies for customers.
For instance, Safeway Inc., which runs
more than 1,600 stores under the Safeway
and Vons names, is adding private rooms in
some stores to make its pharmacists more
accessible. It also is adding products that
focus on a customers health and well-being,
such as health food or goods for a specic
diet, like gluten-free products.
Steven A. Burd, the grocers recently
retired chairman and CEO, told investors
earlier this year that he believes Safeway
can own the wellness space.
It became a marketplace where every-
body was doing a little bit of everybody
elses stuff, said Jack Horst, a partner with
the management consulting firm Kurt
Salmon. There are so many other options
for people these days in terms of nding an
outlet for lling a prescription.
Eyebrow waxing and cafe
lattes at the drugstore?

and ... high-touch service
is much more expected.

WASHINGTON Already faltering,
President Barack Obamas ve-year effort to
reboot U.S.-Russian relations nally crashed
Wednesday, as the White House abruptly can-
celed his planned face-to-face summit with
Russias Vladimir Putin.
The effort to upgrade the relationship has
fallen victim to the rapidly shrinking com-
mon ground between the former Cold War
rivals, including extreme differences over the
Syrian civil war, Russias domestic crack-
down on civil rights and the nal straw
the asylum granted to National Security
Agency leaker Edward Snowden.
The U.S. and Russian foreign and defense
ministers will sit down in Washington later
this week, but Obama canceled his planned
early September summit in Moscow with
Putin because of what the White House called
a lack of recent progress on a wide array of
critical issues. Such steps are not taken light-
l y, and the decision will almost certainly her-
ald a new frostiness in already chilly ties.
We have informed the Russian govern-
ment that we believe it would be more con-
structive to postpone the summit until we
have more results from our shared agenda,
the White House said in a statement, citing
deep differences over missile defense, arms
control, trade, global security and human
rights. Russias disappointing decision to
grant Edward Snowden temporary asylum was
also a factor that we considered in assessing
the current state of our bilateral relation-
ship, it added.
The Kremlin responded quickly, voicing its
own disappointment with the canceled sum-
mit and blaming it on Washingtons inabili-
ty to develop relations with Moscow on an
equal basis. Putins foreign affairs adviser,
Yuri Ushakov, added that the decision was
clearly linked to the Snowden case, a situa-
tion that he said wasnt of Russias making.
While Snowden might have been the imme-
diate catalyst for canceling the summit, the
seeds of renewed U.S.-Russia discord were
planted more than a year ago when Putin re-
took the Russian presidency. On returning to
power, he adopted a deeply nationalistic and
more openly confrontational stance toward
the United States than had his chosen suc-
cessor Dmitry Medvedev, whose 2008-2012
tenure roughly overlapped Obamas first
term in the White House.
Where Medvedev abstained in a U.N.
Security Council vote that authorized NATO
airstrikes in Libya, Putin has refused repeat-
ed entreaties from Washington to allow the
world body to impose even minimal sanc-
tions on President Bashar Assads Syria. At
the same time, Putins government has con-
tinued to supply its ally Assad with
weapons. And it has not delivered on
pledges to coax Assad into sending repre-
sentatives to talks with the opposition
aimed at nding a political solution to the
Syrian conict.
Obama sought to cultivate Medvedev as a
friend of the United States, making signi-
cant changes to Bush administration plans
for European missile defense to try to ease
Russian concerns about that project, signing
a new arms control treaty and famously send-
ing then-Secretary of State Hillary Rodham
Clinton to meet Russian Foreign Minister
Sergey Lavrov in Geneva where she pro-
claimed a reset in U.S.-Russia relations.

FORT HOOD, Texas On the rst
day Maj. Nidal Hasan went on trial in a
ght for his life, he claimed responsi-
bility for the 2009 shooting rampage at
Fort Hood. He posed no questions to
most witnesses and rarely spoke. On
one of the few times he did talk, it was
to get on the record that the alleged mur-
der weapon was his, even though no
one had asked.
The Army psychiatrist sometimes
took notes while acting as his own
attorney, but he mostly looked forward
impassively and rarely asked for help.
By Wednesday, the lawyers ordered to
help him said theyd had enough
they couldnt watch him fulll a death
wish.
It becomes clear his goal is to
remove impediments or obstacles to
the death penalty and is working toward
a death penalty, his
lead standby attor-
ney, Lt. Col. Kris
Poppe, told the
judge. That strategy,
he argued, is repug-
nant to defense
counsel and con-
trary to our profes-
sional obliga-
tions.
Poppe said he and the other standby
lawyers want to take over the case, or if
Hasan is allowed to continue on his
own, they want their roles minimized
so that Hasan couldnt ask them for
help with a strategy they oppose.
Hasan repeatedly objected, telling
the judge: Thats a twist of the facts.
The exchange prompted the judge,
Col. Tara Osborn, to halt the long-
delayed trial on only its second day. She
must now decide what to do next, know-
ing that all moves she makes will be
scrutinized by a military justice system
that has overturned most soldiers death
sentences in the last three decades.
Hasan faces a possible death sentence
if convicted of the 13 counts of premed-
itated murder and 32 counts of attempt-
ed premeditated for the attack on the
Texas military post.
I dont envy her. Shes on the horns
of a dilemma here, said Richard Rosen,
a law professor at Texas Tech
University and former military prosecu-
tor who attended the rst two days of
trial. I think whatever she does is
potentially dangerous, at least from the
view of an appellate court.
Rosen and other experts said that if
Osborn allows Poppe and Hasans other
standby defense attorneys to take over,
the judge could be seen as having
unfairly denied Hasans right to defend
himself, a right guaranteed by the Bill
of Rights. But if she lets Hasan contin-
ue defending himself, she could be
depriving him of adequate help from
experienced attorneys.

OPINION 9
Letter to the editor
Sacramento Bee
D
eclining state support for public
education is a well-worn com-
plaint of University of
California leadership, and understandably
so.
UC officials have used this scapegoat to
justify controversial tuition increases,
ballooning class sizes and record-break-
ing undergraduate enrollment, including
recruitment of more out-of-state students.
But while UC administrators are right to
speak out against state disinvestment,
that message gets lost when they continue
to jack up salaries and expenses among
their own ranks.
This is particularly clear in two recent
instances of executive excess the first
reported by the Center of Investigative
Reporting on the high cost of executive
travel at UCLA, and the second document-
ed by The Bees Phillip Reese on the
record compensation of UC Davis new
communications chief.
In its investigation, the CIR outlined a
long list of luxurious accommodations
expensed by administrators while on trips
to court wealthy donors. Between 2008
and mid-2012, one administrator alone ran
up $647,000 in travel costs, the CIR
reported.
At UC Davis, new associate chancellor
for strategic communications Luanne
Lawrence will collect an annual salary of
$260,000, a system-wide record for her
position, putting her among the highest-
paid employees on that campus.
Against the backdrop of budget cuts, UC
officials in recent years have made much
of the growing role of donor support for
the public university. Officials claim they
need to pay out high salaries and dole out
lavish expenses as part of a broader mis-
sion to preserve the world-class profile of
the UC system and expand support for the
university.
But $647,000 is not an expense tab
within reason for a single university
employee and her fundraising adventures,
even over several years.
UCLAmaintains that the employee in
question, Judy Olian, dean of the Anderson
School of Management, brought in $118
million in the four-year period analyzed
by the CIR. If that is the case, would UC
have been OK with Olian if she had spent
$20 million in expenses? Where would
she cross the line? And if Olian had not
taken an $842 limousine ride to and from
Los Angeles and San Diego to take part in
a donors birthday celebration, would the
university have raised less money than if
she had found transportation (perhaps a
plane, train or automobile) more befitting
to a public employee?
And if Linda Rosenstock, the former
dean of the UCLASchool of Public Health,
had not stayed in a room that cost
$724.75 per night during a conference in
Key Largo, Fla., would she have been any
less effective a representative at the
event?
In the case of UC Davis, universities
officials say Lawrence is filling a new
position, with broader strategic responsi-
bilities than her predecessor, so a higher
salary is justified. But where does this
stop, and how much money should UC
Davis be spending on communications, as
opposed to teaching and research, its core
mission? Does the workload of a new pub-
lic relations employee really merit more
salary than that paid to the states gover-
nor?
Californias top politicians pushed for
passage of Proposition 30 last year on the
promise the tax hike would limit tuition
increases. Voters did not approve Prop. 30
to support bloated UC salaries and lavish
expense accounts. If some voters now
have buyers remorse, nobody should be
surprised.

P
resident Obama: Welcome to
Arizona. Now look south. We
mean Mexico. And we dont mean
problems.
The theme of Obamas speech Monday is
housing, and this is a perfect place to
deliver it. The housing collapse is one of
two big national issues that whacked our
state harder than most.
The other is illegal immigration.
Obama will likely link the two, which
could give a welcome boost to proposals
for comprehensive immigration reform. A
White House report says legalizing the
current undocumented population would
increase demand and help the housing
market.
Comprehensive immigration reform is
so important that the president should not
miss this opportunity to give it a plug.
But theres another opportunity that
shouldnt be missed.
The president should use this visit to
Arizona to talk about revving up an eco-
nomic engine thats been quietly purring
along for years: trade with Mexico.
This, too, has a direct connection with
the housing market. Trade creates good
jobs, and people with good jobs buy
houses.
Mexico is the United States second
largest export market and third biggest
trading partner.
According to the U.S. Department of
Commerce, trade between the United
States and Mexico was up 7 percent
last year over 2011. The total for
goods was $494 billion in 2012, with
another $39 billion in services.
Mexico is Arizonas top trading partner.
But Arizona is not unique. Mexico is the
first or second most important export
market for 21 U.S. states, according to a
report issued this spring by the Border
Research Partnership.
Mexicos economy is growing at a
healthy rate and its young population has
a taste for American goods. Mexican
shoppers spent $2.69 billion in Arizona
in a one-year period straddling 2007-08,
according to a study by the University of
Arizona.
Whats more, as wages in China rise,
Mexico is becoming more attractive to
manufacturing.
Obama is in the right place today to talk
about one of the best kept secrets: trade
with Mexico is a successful foundation on
which to build increasing economic bene-
fits for Arizona and the United States.
The president needs to tell us whats
good about sharing a border with Mexico.

A
ll weve got is vodka. When Russia
got all uppity in the 1980s and
Ivan Drago announced I must
break you, America via Rocky Balboa hit
back with pummeling skills fueled by
vengeance for Apollo Creed, snowy Siberian
workouts and the desire to prove that
steroids and Brigitte Nielsens management
arent all that.
But the Cold Wars
done, Rockys
reached his own
breaking point and it
wouldnt make much
sense for the average
Jane and Joe America
to land in Moscow
and start kicking ran-
dom butts to protest
Russias homophobic
policies and laws.
So instead we boycott Russian vodka,
choosing other brands as the building
blocks of appletinis and cosmopolitans or
outright pouring a little Stoli on the ground
for our persecuted homies.
Stoli, for its part, is eschewing Mother
Russia, claiming Latvian distillery ties and
marketing itself as LGBT-friendly. The other
brands are staying quiet, probably hoping
most vodka drinkers only take aim at the
iconic brand.
Maybe. And maybe this protest appears
misplaced in comparison to the countrys
track record of gaffes. Nukes. Human rights
violations. Pussy Riot. Edward Snowden.
Yakov Smirnoff. We all should have turned
to gin and tequila, or at least vowed alle-
giance to American liquor, a long time ago.
Regardless, this latest round of anti-gay
sentiment is the straw that broke the camels
back and, in the spirit of Uvas NO and
blood diamonds, its time for the offended
and worried to put our money where our
mouth is.
Only problem is there isnt a lot to choose
from when it comes to easily accessible
Russian goods worth giving the proverbial
nancial hand palm. We can claim to put the
kibosh on petroleum products and natural
gas but its not as if most ordinary folks
could get their hands on those items if they
wanted to. Same goes with fossil fuels, most
arms and minerals. Alittle celestine with
your homophobia, anybody?
Caviar and blinis might work in some
communities although those delicacies are
not as widely distributed as vodka. Doesnt
make a lot of sense to protest something in
which you have no choice to possess or not.
If that were the case, we could all just say
nyet to the Kremlin or Sputnik and call it a
day.
Yet aside from vodka, what else is there?
Annual Nutcracker ballet performances?
Copies of The Gulag Archipelago? t.A.T.u.
songs? Brown bread? Boiled meat?
Babushka dolls? Leggy supermodels? Mail-
order brides? Maybe orphanages of babies
up for international adoption, although
Putins ban effectively nixed that protest
possibility in the bud.
What about borscht? Is the beet soup
Russian because Im pretty sure I and others
could protest that with little problem. Its
kind of like when I announced as a child I
would no longer eat canned tuna out of love
for the dolphins. Since I absolutely detested
the processed tuna, I was able to have good-
will without also having sacrice. Awin-
win!
But the whole point of a boycott a real
boycott, that is is hitting the target where
it hurts and something tells me Putin and his
administration arent that worried yet. That
aside, if protesting his laws by dumping the
booze makes the rest of us feel better, why
not? If nothing else, its worth a shot.

Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Wednesday on the
New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market:
NYSE
Ralph Lauren Corp., down $16.38 to $173.13
The luxury retailers shares suffered their largest decline in more than a
year after its outlook implies a weak quarter ahead.Comparable store sales
also disappointed some investors.
J.C. Penney Co. Inc., down 48 cents to $12.80
A terrible week for the retailer is intensied by a larger sell-off in the
sector. Analysts are now honing in on the amount of money the retailer
is burning through and how long that can last.
AOL Inc., up 51 cents to $36.69
The Internet company says it will buy Adap.tv for $405 million to bolster
its online-video business.
The Walt Disney Co., down $1.14 to $65.91
The entertainment company says the cool reception for The Lone
Rangercould lead to a loss in its scal fourth quarter.
Computer Sciences Corp., up $4.24 to $54.20
Prots at the technology company more than tripled in the most recent
quarter and its shares hit a two-year high.
Nasdaq
Zillow, Inc., down $6.98 to $83.73
The online real estate companys shares had a tailwind earlier this week
from the announcement that President Barack Obama would answer
questions about housing on its website.But that vanished after it posted
a second-quarter loss, reporting that costs had doubled.
First Solar Inc., down $6.28 to $40.47
There is some skepticism over a tie-up between General Electric, which
will buy a stake in the solar company in exchange for ownership of GEs
competing thin-lm solar panel technology.The Tempe, Ariz., company
also posted earnings and revenue that fell short of Wall Street
expectations.
Finisar Corp., up $2.95 to $22.08
The optical and communications companys stock was upgraded by
Raymond James after the company posted quarterly sales of $266 million,
or $14 million better than analyst Simon Leopold had projected.

NEWYORK Disappointing earn-
ings news and a slump in bank stocks
tugged the stock market down
Wednesday, giving major indexes
their rst three-day drop since June.
Banks had some of the biggest loss-
es following news that the govern-
ment led lawsuits accusing Bank of
America of misleading investors.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
fell 6.46 points, or 0.4 percent, to
close at 1,690.91. Seven of the
indexs 10 industry groups ended
lower.
The Dow Jones industrial average
fell 48.07 points, or 0.3 percent, to
15, 470. 67. The Nasdaq composite
lost 11.76 points, or 0.3 percent, to
3, 654. 01.
The S&P 500 has drifted down 1.1
percent since reaching an all-time
high of 1,709.67 on Friday. Trading
has been thin this week, and warnings
of slowing sales and tepid quarterly
results have given investors no rea-
son to push the market higher.
Im not concerned about the market
being down over a few days given how
much its run up, said Paul Zemsky,
the head of multi-asset strategies at
ING Investment Management. Put it
in context, and its not concerning.
The S&P 500 index closed above
1,700 points for the rst time last
Thursday and has already surged 18.6
percent this year. If the broad-market
measure stays put for the rest of 2013,
it would still be the S&P 500s best
year since 2009.
In separate lawsuits led Tuesday,
the Justice Department and the
Securities and Exchange Commission
said the countrys second-largest bank
failed to tell investors about the risks
involved in a 2008 sale of mortgage-
backed bonds. BofAfell 11 cents, or 1
percent, to $14.53.
Walt Disney reported quarterly earn-
ings late Tuesday that narrowly beat
Wall Streets estimates, but revenue
came up short. Disneys executives
also said the company will have to
take a steep charge from a weak box-
ofce welcome for The Lone Ranger
movie this summer. Disney slumped
$1.14, or 2 percent, to $65.91.
As the second-quarter earnings sea-
son winds down, the overall picture
looks mixed. Most companies have
reported better earnings along with
weaker revenue.
In other trading Wednesday, crude
oil fell 93 cents, or 0.9 percent, to
settle at $104.37 a barrel. Gold gained
$2.80 to $1,285.30 an ounce.

DETROIT Electric car maker Tesla
reported a narrower loss for the second
quarter on Wednesday, sparking an
after-hours rally in its stock.
The Palo Alto company reported
after the close of trading on Wall Street
that it lost $30.5 million, or 26 cents
per share, in the April-June period.
That compares with a loss of $105.6
million, or $1 per share, a year earlier.
Excluding one-time items and lease
accounting, Tesla Motors Inc. said it
had a prot of 20 cents per share. The
one-time items included a $16 million
charge associated with the payoff of a
$465 million loan from the U.S.
Department of Energy. Tesla paid off
the loan in May, nine years earlier
than it was due.
On that basis, analysts had expected
a loss of 19 cents per share, according
to FactSet.Revenue rose to $405.1
million from $26.6 million a year ago.
That beat analysts forecast of $386.9
million.
Our nancial position and balance
sheet have never been stronger, Tesla
Chairman and CEO Elon Musk said in a
letter to shareholders.
Teslas stock was up $17.61, or more
than 13 percent, to $151.84 in extend-
ed trading.
Musk said the company ended the
quarter with $750 million in cash. It
recently used some of that money to
buy 31 acres next to its Fremont plant
for future expansion. It also expects to
accelerate development of its next
vehicle, the Model X crossover, as
well as a right-hand drive version of
the Model S in the second half of this
year. The Model X is expected to go on
sale next year.
Tesla currently makes one car, the
$70,000 Model S, which won
Consumer Reports top rating in July.
The company delivered 5,150 Model S
sedans in the quarter, surpassing its
expectation for 4,500.
In a letter to shareholders, the com-
pany said it remains on track to deliv-
er 21,000 cars worldwide this year.
Tesla delivered the Model S to its rst
European customers this week.
The company said it opened seven
new stores in the second quarter for a
total of 41 locations worldwide,
including 30 in North America. Tesla
expects to open its rst store in China
later this year.
The companys shares are four times
higher than they were at the start of
this year. They jumped more than 74
percent in early May after the compa-
ny reported its rst-ever quarterly net
prot in the rst quarter. They rose
again in late May after the company
announced plans to expand its nation-
wide network of charging stations.

WASHINGTON Freddie Mac
earned $5 billion from April through
June, the seventh straight protable
quarter for the mortgage giant.
The second-quarter gain reported
Wednesday compares with net income
of $3 billion in the same period of
2012. Freddie says its earnings were
due largely to increased prots from
investments made to hedge against ris-
ing interest rates. That helped offset
losses on mortgages during the quar-
ter.
Freddie, based in McLean, Va., will
pay a dividend of $4.4 billion to the
U.S. Treasury next month and is
requesting no additional aid.
The government rescued Freddie and
larger sibling Fannie Mae during the
financial crisis in 2008. Together,
they received loans of about $187 bil-
lion.
A housing recovery that began last
year has made both protable again.
Combined, they have paid back rough-
ly $136 billion of their government
loans.

WASHINGTON Americans bor-
rowed more in June to buy cars and
attend schools. But they were frugal
again with their credit cards, as many
remain wary of taking on high-interest
debt.
Consumers increased their borrow-
ing $13.8 billion in June from May to
a seasonally adjusted $2.85 trillion,
the Federal Reserve said Wednesday in
its monthly report on consumer credit.
Thats the highest level ever.
The category that includes credit card
debt dropped $2.7 billion in June and
remains 16.5 percent below its July
2008 peak.
Borrowing for autos and student
loans rose $16.5 billion in June.
Gains in this category have lifted
overall consumer credit to record lev-
els in all but one month since June
2011.
Since January 2011, the measure of
student and auto loans has risen
$312.6 billion. During that same 2
1/2-year period, credit card debt has
increased just $16 billion.
The Federal Reserves consumer
credit report does not separate student
loans and auto loans.

The magical summer for the Belmont-
Redwood Shores 11-12 Little League All
Stars continues.
BRS, taking on the Southern California
champion the only other undefeated team
in the Western Regional in San Bernardino
beat its SoCal counterparts 3-2 to nish
pool play undefeated and earned the top seed
in the four-team playoff beginning Friday.
Using a Skype feed provided by Lisa
Eliopoulos, whose son plays in the
Belmont-Redwood Shores organization,
and a play-by-play Internet feed from
GameChanger.com at Carlmont High
School Thursday night, BRS rallied from an
early 2-0 decit.
But after getting three hits in the rst
inning, SoCal managed only one more hit
the rest of the way a third-inning single
as the BRS bullpen shut it down.
Noah Marcelo started the game on the
mound for BRS and gave up a pair of runs to
SoCal in the bottom of the rst inning.
Marcelo lasted into the second inning
before being lifted for Josh Fong, who
closed out the inning.
BRS tied the score in the top of the third
and took the lead for good in the top of the
fourth. Ryan Anderson came in to pitch to
begin the third and pitched two innings of
one-hit ball to earn the win. Ace Sean Lee
was then called upon to pitch the nal two
innings, striking out all six batters he faced
to earn the save.
Lee now has 20 strikeouts in eight
innings of work at this tournament.
Belmont-Redwood Shores got on the
scoreboard in the third inning, scoring a
pair of runs to tie the game. Anderson led off

aseball can be a frustrating game
for those looking at it to make a
living. No matter the success expe-
rienced in high school, college or the minor
leagues, there is no guarantee players will
ever make it to The Show.
But thousands of players grind away try-
ing to achieve the dream. Count former
Burlingame standout Matt Chavez among
them. After a stellar career with the Panthers
that resulted in a scholarship to University
of San Francisco, things have not come so
easy for him. He had
an up-and-down career
with the Dons, bounc-
ing around the dia-
mond looking for a
permanent home
having pitched and
played third base, rst
base and catcher.
Despite being drafted
by the Chicago White
Sox in the 44th round
in 2010, Chavez
decided to return to
USF, ostensibly with
the hopes of improving his draft prospects.
The Major Leagues have not come calling
since. So after graduating in 2012, Chavez
was at a crossroads: continue to chase the
dream or start real life.
Chavez chose the former and while it may
be a circuitous route, the dream is still alive
for him.
Chavez is currently playing catcher for
the Prescott Montezuma Federals, a member
of the Independent Pro Baseball League,
which means it is not afliated with any
Major League team.
Despite still being no closer to the big
leagues, it hasnt stopped Chavez from put-
ting up numbers. While splitting time
behind the plate, Chavez is going to force a
minor league team to seriously look at what

SANTA CLARA Colin Kaepernick has
learned a thing or two from Peyton
Manning.
He just refuses to say what or offer any
specics. The mystery man under center for
the San Francisco 49ers will play opposite
Manning when the quarterbacks teams meet
in their exhibition opener Thursday night at
Candlestick Park offering plenty of
intrigue even if each is unlikely to play
more than a quarter.
Some are already considering this a pre-
season glimpse of a possible Super Bowl
matchup come February, though coach Jim
Harbaugh is quick to say thats getting way
ahead of things.
Last August, Manning completed 10 of 12
passes for 122 yards and two touchdowns in
a 29-24 exhibition loss to San Francisco.
The 49ers went on to reach the Super Bowl,
falling 34-31 to Baltimore. The Broncos
season ended prematurely in stunning fash-
ion: a double-overtime loss to Joe Flacco
and the eventual champion Ravens.
And, now, Kaepernick is entrenched as the
No. 1 quarterback to start his third NFL sea-
son and determined to get the Niners back.
Harbaugh said Wednesday that Kaepernick
would play one or two snaps and perhaps the
entire rst quarter, but not more than that.
For Kaepernick, these initial two weeks
of training camp have been much the same
to him as any other times of practice and
preparation.
Nothing (different), he said. For me
its work. Im here to work. Im here to get
better. Im here to make sure Im ready to
play.
Kaepernick said he met Manning before
his senior season at Nevada, at the Manning
Passing Academy.
Any message from Manning?
He shared a lot of different things with
all of the quarterbacks that were there,
Kaepernick said.
Anything specic that stuck with you?

CHICAGO The Major League Baseball
Players Association formally appealed Alex
Rodriguezs 211-game suspension
Wednesday, sending the case to an independ-
ent arbitrator.
Union spokesman Greg Bouris conrmed
the appeal and said the players association
had no further comment. Amessage was left
seeking comment from Major League
Baseball.
Rodriguez, who was
back at third base and bat-
ting third for the New
York Yankees against the
Chicago White Sox on
Wednesday night, said he
had no reaction to the
ling of the grievance.
The three-time MVP
was suspended through
the 2014 season on Monday when the league
penalized 13 players following an investiga-
tion into Biogenesis of America, a shuttled
Florida anti-aging clinic accused of distribut-
ing banned performance-enhancing drugs.
The other 12 players accepted 50-game
suspensions, but Rodriguez said he planned
to ght. Union head Michael Weiner said the
punishment for the slugger was way out of
line.
Rodriguezs punishment was scheduled to
begin Thursday, but he is allowed to keep
playing until the grievance is heard by arbi-
trator Fredric Horowitz. He isnt expected to
rule until November or December at the earli-
est.
Coming back from hip surgery in January,
Rodriguez played his rst game of the season
Monday night in the series opener at
Chicago. He singled in his rst at-bat and
was 2 for 6 with a walk in his rst two games.
Rodriguez has been booed lustily since his
return, except for when he was hit by a pitch
in the third inning of Tuesday nights 3-2
loss.

CINCINNATI Oaklands offense nally
perked up on Wednesday. Unfortunately for
the Athletics, it was a sluggish day for Bartolo
Colon.
Colon was knocked out in the third inning
in his shortest outing of the season, and
Oakland went on to a 6-5 loss to the
Cincinnati Reds.
AL West-leading Oakland, which began the
day with a one-game advantage over Texas,
scored as many runs as it had in its previous
three games. The ve runs and 11 hits were the
highest totals for the As since they had 12
hits in a 9-4 victory against Toronto on July
29.
But Oakland still lost for the sixth time in
seven games.
Colon (14-4) allowed ve runs and seven
hits in 2 2-3 innings. He was 3-0 with a 1.57
ERA in his previous ve starts, including a
four-hitter in a 6-0 victory at the Los Angeles
Angels on July 21.
The All-Star right-hander was pitching on
six days rest but was weakened by a stomach
virus.
It is no excuse, Colon said through inter-
preter Ariel Prieto. I wasnt throwing strikes
like I did before the All-Star game.
Manager Bob Melvin hoped that an extra
day off would help the veterans performance.
Weve seen him have lower velocity
before, Melvin said. Hes had the stomach
virus before and pitched through it. Hes
pitched without his best stuff before and
worked through it.
Jay Bruce hit a two-run homer and threw out
a runner at the plate for
Cincinnati, which won
consecutive games for the
rst time since July 24 in
San Francisco and July 25
in Los Angeles. Corky
Miller added two run-scor-
ing doubles.
Millers rst run-scor-
ing double gave
Cincinnati a 2-1 lead in
the second inning. The Reds added three more
in the third, with Bruce going deep for the sec-
ond straight game and Miller driving in Zack
Cozart for the second time on the day.
Homer Bailey (7-10) won his second
straight start despite allowing nine hits and
ve runs in 5 1-3 innings.
Bailey left with a runner on third, but
Manny Parra wriggled out of the jam. Parra,
Sam LeCure and J.J. Hoover combined for 2 2-
3 innings of two-hit ball before Aroldis
Chapman tossed a perfect ninth for his 27th
save in 31 opportunities.
They put the bat on the ball pretty well,
Bailey said. You saw it last night. Mat Latos
didnt get a lot of strikeouts last night. When
you put the ball in play, things happen.
Josh Donaldson and Eric Sogard had two
hits and two RBIs apiece for Oakland.
Donaldson hit a solo drive in the second for
his 17th homer.
I had some good pitches to hit and I hit
them, said Donaldson, who had been without
an RBI since the All-Star break. My
approach hasnt been good since the All-Star
break but I hit some balls on the screws.

SAN FRANCISCO Norichika Aori drove
in two runs, Khris Davis hit a home run and
the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the San
Francisco Giants 6-1 on Wednesday night.
Marco Estrada and three relievers combined
to throw a three-hitter as the Brewers won
their third in four games. Jeff Bianchi and
Martin Maldonado also drove in runs for the
Brewers.
Alfredo Figaro (2-3) pitched two innings to
earn the win.
Buster Posey drove in a run for the Giants,
who have lost four of ve.
Madison Bumgarner (11-7) took a shutout
into the eighth inning, but lost. He gave up
four runs three earned on ve hits in
seven-plus innings. He walked three and
struck out four.
Estrada gave the Brewers more than they
could expect in his rst start in two months.
The right-hander allowed a hit over ve score-
less innings. He did not walk any and struck
out six.
Estrada was activated from the disabled list
before the game to make the start in place of
left-hander Tom Gorzelanny, who is still
bothered by a sore elbow. Estrada had only a
pair of rehab starts and his pitch count was
limited. He retired his last 14 batters and 15 of
16 overall. Burke Badenhop and Michael
Gonzalez each added a scoreless inning.
The game was scoreless into the bottom of
the seventh. Brandon Crawford walked and
Brandon Belt singled to open the inning.
After a wild pitch, Posey hit a sacrice y.
The rst four Brewers reached base against
Bumgarner in eighth. They all scored.
Davis singled and Yuniesky Betancourt dou-
bled to start the rally. Bianchi beat out an
ineld single to drive in one run and another
came home when Bumgarner threw wildly past
third on a bunt.
Santiago Casilla took over on the mound
and got one out before Aokis sharp single up
the middle scored two.
Its the rst time in 10 starts that Bumgarner
allowed more than three runs while pitching at
least seven innings.
Davis homered and Maldonado singled
home a run against Barry Zito in the ninth.
NOTES: Gorzelanny (elbow contusion)
threw a bullpen session and will likely make
his next start on Saturday in Seattle. ... The
Brewers sent IF Scooter Gennett to Triple-A
Nashville to make room for Estrada. ...
Brewers IF Rickie Weeks appeared to injure
his left hamstring trying to beat out an ineld
grounder in the eighth. He needed help off the
eld. ... Giants OF Jeff Francoeur started in
center eld for the third time in his career. He
made 176 starts there in the minors. ... Giants
OF Gregor Blanco, .067 (3 for 45) since the
All-Star break, will be given a day or two to
clear his mind. This will give him a chance to
catch his breath, SF manager Bruce Bochy
said.

Looking a bit like spacemen in
their silver life vests and crash
helmets, the sailors aboard Italys
Luna Rossa rocketed across San
Francisco Bay aboard their high-
performance catamaran and took a
2-0 lead over Artemis Racing in
the Americas Cup challenger
seminals.
Luna Rossa is halfway toward
reaching the Louis Vuitton Cup
nals against Emirates Team New
Zealand.
The nal margin was 2 minutes,
6 seconds. Luna Rossa won
Tuesdays series opener by 2 min-
utes.
Luna Rossa again showed better
crew work and its 72-foot catama-
ran proved superior on the down-
wind legs between the Golden Gate
Bridge and Alcatraz Island.
The Italians, backed by the
Prada fashion house, trailed at the
start but rolled over Artemis
Racing rounding the rst mark.
The Italian catamaran, with its
chrome-and-red hulls, lifted onto
hydrofoils as it headed downwind
and took an unassailable lead early
in the race.
Like it did in the first race,
Artemis slowed dramatically dur-
ing its first gybe after turning
from the reaching rst leg onto
the downwind second leg.
Artemis is struggling to catch
up following the capsize of its
rst boat during a training run on
May 9, which killed Andrew
Bart Simpson and destroyed its
first boat. Artemis Racing
launched its new boat on July 22
and has had limited training time.
Artemis has struggled to get its
catamaran foiling, which is when
the seven-ton craft lifts onto
winglets on the bottom of the rud-
ders and on the bottom of a dag-
gerboard in the leeward hull.
When the boats foil, the hulls
are out of the water, reducing drag
and increasing speed.
There was a heart-stopping
moment when Luna Rossas port
bow dug into the waves as the crew
attempted to turn the boat while it
rode on hydrofoils going down-
wind. Helmsman Chris Draper
steered the boat out of trouble an
on to victory.
Artemis May capsize is
believed to have been caused when
the bows pitched under the waves,
although its also believed there
was a structural defect with the
front crossbeam.
In mid-October, defending
Americas Cup champion Oracle
Team USA capsized during a train-
ing run after its bows dug into the
waves. Although no sailors were
injured, the boat was swept under
the Golden Gate Bridge for several
miles and the churning waves
destroyed the 131-foot wing sail.
Luna Rossa also twice commit-
ted unforced errors and had to make
extra gybes approaching the wind-
ward mark
Luna Rossa led by 2:11 at the
fourth mark before Artemis made
up 59 seconds sailing upwind
toward the Golden Gate Bridge.
But the Italians again stretched the
lead while sailing downwind and

Luna Rossa sails to 2-0 lead in challenger semis

PITTSBURGH Seven-time
major league All-Star Dave Parker
is dealing with Parkinsons dis-
ease.
Parker told The Associated Press
on Wednesday that he was diag-
nosed with the disease in February
2012. Parkers condition was rst
reported by the Pittsburgh Tribune-
Review.
I went in for a physical, went
through the whole physical and my
hand was shak-
ing, Parker
said by tele-
phone. The
docs saw it and I
said Ive been
having prob-
lems with that.
They said
Yeah, you got
Pa r ki ns ons ,
thats how I found out.
Parkinsons is a progressive dis-
order that gradually takes a toll on
the nervous system. Notable g-
ures with the disease include
Muhammad Ali and actor Michael
J. Fox. The 62-year-old Parker said
his older sister is also suffering
from Parkinsons. The 1978
National League MVPis able to get
by without medication at this
point and relies on a healthy diet
and plenty of exercise, including at
least an hour a day on his bicycle.
He got in his usual round of golf
on Wednesday, rushing a bit to
beat afternoon thundershowers.
Im managing it pretty well,
he said.
Nicknamed Cobra because of
his lethal bat and cannon-like arm,
Parker hit 339 home runs during a
19-year career with five teams,
most notably the Pittsburgh
Pirates. He helped Pittsburgh win
the 1979 World Series and was
named MVP of the All-Star game
that year after a pair of outeld
assists helped the National League
pull out a 7-6 victory.
Parker won another title with the
Oakland As in 1989, when he hit
22 homers and drove in 97 runs at
age 38. He is still active in the
game, occasionally working as a
hitting coach. Parker said he
believes the Pirates, in rst-place
in the NL Central, are ready to end
two decades of losing.
I know the fans are used to win-
ning when I played, Parker said.
They desperately need a winning
season. (Twenty) years of losing
baseball is unacceptable as far as I
concerned. When I played, we
threw everything out on the eld
and including the kitchen sink. Its
nice to see these guys doing the
same.

Leading local news coverage on the Peninsula
By Ralph D. Russo
NEW YORK A simple search
on eBay reveals Heisman Trophy
winner Johnny Manziel is far from
the only college football player
whose autograph is for sale.
Pick a star and you can nd mem-
orabilia with a supposedly veried
signature.
South Carolinas Jadeveon
Clowney. Ohio States Braxton
Miller. Oregons DeAnthony
Thomas. Louisvilles Teddy
Bridgewater. Alabamas AJ
McCarron. The list goes on and on.
The difference is ESPN has
reported the NCAAis investigating
whether Manziel, the Texas A&M
quarterback, got paid to sign auto-
graphs, which would violate ama-
teurism rules. That has led to other
schools being asked questions
about whether their players earned
money for signatures.
If the allegations against
Manziel, made by unidentified
sources to
ESPN, are
proved true by
the NCAA, his
eligibility for
the coming sea-
son could be in
doubt as well as
his status as a
Heisman win-
ner.
ESPN reported that a top auto-
graph authenticator had authenti-
cated nearly 1,000 Manziel auto-
graphs.
Brandon Steiner of Steiner
Sports, which is the ofcial col-
lectible and memorabilia company
of the NBA, the New York Yankees
and Notre Dame, among others,
said his company does not do busi-
ness with college athletes.
He said Manziel would likely be
able to sign a contract with a col-
lectibles company of at least
$100,000 after he went pro.
I know there is a vibrant
Heisman Trophy collectible audi-
ence out there, he said.
A market ooded with Manziel
autographs could cost him money
later, Steiner said.
It creates market confusion and
takes a lot away from the catego-
ry, Steiner said Wednesday.
Other college athletes might
want to take note.
Two sports websites busted-
coverage.com and goodbullhunt-
ing.com found what appeared to
be dozens of authenticated items
signed by Clowney online, and
that led to questions for South
Carolina ofcials.
Associate athletic director Chris
Rogers said Wednesday the
schools compliance office has
looked into the Clowney auto-
graphs on eBay and found no viola-
tions had occurred.
The websites that weve looked
at and the pictures and autographs
and items that weve found over the
last academic year, weve not had
any issues to suggest that anything
impermissible had occurred,
Rogers said.
Ohio State athletic director Gene
Smith said school ofcials have
determined Miller had not proted
from the numerous items found
online with his signature. Smith
said the quarterback signed many
autographs at a Big Ten preseason
kickoff luncheon. Presumably fans
or memorabilia brokers then went
and sold items they got auto-
graphed for free.
Weve already looked at it,
Smith said. Theres no issue
there.
Louisville came to a similar con-
clusion.
We are aware of many of the
items for sale online that have been
autographed by several of our stu-
dent-athletes with remaining eligi-
bility. As we are required to do by
NCAA rules, we regularly review
these items and send correspon-
dence to the seller(s) requesting
they remove the item for sale, the
school said in a statement. We
have and continue to educate our
student-athletes that it is not per-
missible to accept any type of
compensation for their autograph
or the sale of memorabilia. We
have spoken with Teddy
Bridgewater and we are comfortable
that no violation has occurred.
Clowney, Bridgewater and Miller
enter the season has prime con-
tenders for the Heisman.
Manziel became the rst fresh-
man to win it last season. Its
unclear if an NCAAviolation would
cause the Heisman trust to recon-
sider Manziels victory.
Heisman Trusts rules state: The
recipient must be in compliance
with the bylaws dening an NCAA
Student-Athlete.
The Heisman Trust never com-
ments on speculation, Heisman
spokesman Tim Henning said
Wednesday.
Reggie Bushs 2005 Heisman
Trophy was later vacated after the
NCAA found he had received
improper benets during his win-
ning season.
Easy to find autographs of college stars for sale
Johnny Manziel

ORLANDO, Fla. Bodies
crashing to the ground and being
slung against the springy ropes of
the ring. The slapping of skin as
hulking men and women grapple
and hurl blows at one another. The
clink of free weights and the roar
of broadcasters practicing to get it
just right for the cameras.
Welcome to World Wrestling
Entertainments Performance
Center, a $2.5 million, 26,000-
square foot facility that opened
last month, replacing a much
smaller and antiquated facility in
Tampa. Its both a graduate school
of sorts for the WWEs next gener-
ation of talent and a training and
rehabilitation center for its top-
tier pro wrestlers, called
Superstars and Divas.
Most kids grow up and at least
at some point in their lives want
to be a fireman or a cop. Ive
always wanted to be a pro wrestler
since I was a little kid, said 29-
year-old Corey Graves, one of 75
aspiring wrestlers based at the
center.
The largest part of the facility is
a vast space featuring seven
wrestling rings that makes the
new Orlando facility the largest
training facility WWE has ever
built.
Wrestler Xavier Woods, 26, said
its the kind of environment he
always hoped to train in.
When I rst started, the guy
that was training us rented out the
back of a storage unit, just a tight
little space with bugs and every-
thing. It was like the lowest-level
thing you could do, Woods said.
So to be in a place like this ... its
literally unreal.
Aspiring wrestlers currently in
training range from former NFL
players and Olympians to a former
beauty pageant contestant. They
signed contracts allowing them to
work solely on becoming
wrestlers.
One hundred percent, this is
their jobs, said Jane Geddes,
WWE senior vice president of tal-
ent and development.
Geddes said the WWE built the
center envisioning a place where
up-and-comers could train along-

TRANSACTIONS
MOSCOW One year after a
remarkable Olympics, an encore at
the world championships was
always going to be tough for a U.S.
track team ush with new faces.
The Americans won a whopping
29 medals at the London Games, but
heading into Moscow they are in
rebuilding mode.
Allyson Felix, only 27 yet one of
the most successful athletes in world
championships history with eight
gold medals, is now a veteran.
Yes, Felix said Wednesday in a
fake, drawn-out voice, I am old
now.
In a sense, she is, considering she
burst onto the scene a decade ago at
the 2003 worlds in Paris and is a
mentor to the rookies.
It is great to be able to give them
some advice, said Felix, who also
won three gold medals at the
London Olympics. It is denitely a
different experience to be one of the
older people on the team now.
Years ago, it was a teenage Felix
making her name on the team. Now
theres Mary Cain, a 17-year-old
high schooler from New York who
will run the 1,500 and try to learn all
she can at her rst worlds.
Cain is the rst high-school run-
ner to make the world team since
Felix a decade ago.
For Brianna Rollins, it will be dif-
ferent. The 21-year-old American
already showed her skill when she
ran the fastest 100-meter hurdles in
21 years at the U.S. champi-
onships.
If she continues her sterling form
and holds off Olympic champion
Sally Pearson of Australia to win the
event in Moscow, Rollins will be
the youngest world gold medalist in
the event.
For mens head coach Mike
Holloway, the formula at worlds is
simple.
I encourage them to do the things
that they did to get here, Holloway
said. Dont change anything.
And for the veterans, Holloway
wants them to share their experi-
ences, make them understand what it
takes.
Missing from the U.S. team is
Tyson Gay, who qualied for the 100
and 200 meters, but relinquished his
spots after failing an out-of-compe-
tition drug test for a banned sub-
stance.

Kaepernick: Just tips, on the eld, off the
eld, how he prepared for games.
Anything you apply to this day?
Kaepernick: All of them.
New wideout Anquan Boldin, acquired
from the Super Bowl champion Ravens dur-
ing the offseason, is eager to see how he and
Kaepernick do in their rst game together
and there are big shoes for Boldin to l l
with top 2012 wide receiver Michael
Crabtree sidelined as he recovers from sur-
gery on his torn right Achilles tendon.
Harbaugh is anticipating seeing
Kaepernick and Boldin in a game atmos-
phere for the rst time in what should be a
dynamic combination for the Niners.
Eager, eager, Im jumping out of my
skin, Harbaugh said. I really feel like
theyre going to be jumping out of their
skin ready to play this game.
Boldin said he and Kaepernick already
have developed a good line of communica-
tion an important rst step.
I denitely think there is something to
that as far as timing and chemistry, Boldin
said. You denitely want to be on the same
page. You want to understand how hes see-
ing the game so you can adjust your routes
accordingly. With me and Kaep is going
good. I think the best part about it is the
communication is there. Especially after
every play, you get a feel for how the other
guys are seeing things.
Aside from seeing Boldin in uniform for
the rst time, the 49ers will get their rst
look at rookie rst-round pick Eric Reid,
though he is scheduled to rotate in as Craig
Dahl will start at free safety.
Harbaugh said linebacker Patrick Willis
wouldnt play as he nurses an injured right
hand that is expected to be healed by the
Sept. 8 season opener against Green Bay.
Running back Frank Gore also might sit out
Thursday.
Defensive tackle Justin Smith, who has
an injured right middle nger, said he does-
nt expect to play.
While Harbaugh and his coaching staff
will do their share of evaluation, he isnt
ready to predict who might shine or how
many snaps the starters might play on
either side of the ball.
Harbaugh loves the competition among
his players trying to win jobs.
Thats where its on one hand intriguing
and exciting. You want it to be clear cut, you
want guys to clear cut make the team, clear
cut be the starter, clear cut be the backup.
You want to see that take place in these pre-
season games, Harbaugh said. The depth
chart is not a painstaking thing that I go l l
out.

side established professionals.
WWE is the major leagues of pro
wrestling, with a half-billion dollars in
annual revenue. Traditionally, it has been a
magnet for young talent from smaller, inde-
pendent wrestling operations. But those
minor leagues are dwindling, and while the
WWE does still hold some open tryouts, the
performance center will be its main training
ground for developing talent.
This is where it starts for professional
wrestlers now and this is where it will end
in a good way as they look to move up
to our main roster, Geddes said. The tim-
ing was perfect for us to be able to move to
the next level and create a facility like
this.
Those who succeed will advance to
WWEs Raw and Smackdown television
broadcasts, as well as to pay-per-view
shows, like WrestleMania. In the mean-
time, they split training time with appear-
ances in WWEs weekly NXT shows,
which are lmed live in front of a crowd of
500 at nearby Full Sail University, a school
with a heavy emphasis on entertainment
production. The one-hour shows are broad-
cast in 100 countries.
While the performance center is mainly
occupied by its NXT talent going through
training, one of WWEs biggest stars, Paul
Big Show Wight, was there recently to
rehab from hip surgery.
WWEs old Tampa facility had only three
wrestling rings and was located in a ware-
house with no air conditioning. The new
facility is triple the size. It has an area
where television announcers hone their
craft, a studio where wrestlers practice tele-
vision promos, as well as lockers, weight
rooms and rehabilitation facilities that are
NFL and NBAcaliber.
In many ways, developing wrestling
characters is just as important as physical
skill, as big, over-the-top personas like
Hulk Hogan and Dwayne The Rock
Johnson are what sell the sport.
Everything the wrestlers do at the facili-
t y, from their development in the ring and
in front of the camera during promo ses-
sions, can be sent electronically back to
WWE headquarters in Stamford, Conn.
Theres no set period for how long a
wrestler will spend at the performance cen-
ter before moving up to the big time, but at
the new training hub, wrestlers like Woods
and Graves are condent they have what
they need to succeed.

Tuesday night in an 8-5 loss to the San

in line with the stats he has put up this sea-
son with the Federals: 33 RBIs, 14 home

After yet another homer-less game
Tuesday night from the San Francisco
Giants, KNBR host Ray Woodson oated
the question that seems to pop up every
year: should the Giants move in the fences
at AT&T Park?
Its been more than three weeks since a
Giant has trotted around the bases follow-
ing a home run at home. Is it the parks
dimensions that are the culprit? Opposing
teams that come into AT&T dont seem to
have any problem hitting balls over the
fence. Why should the Giants?
The simple fact of the matter is, the
Giants simply dont hit home runs, plain
and simple and recently, they havent
been hitting the ball at all.
Theyll be lucky to have one player hit
20 this season. No one on the roster is
what you would call a home-run hitter.
Buster Posey can hit them, but he is more
of a gap-to-gap guy. Pablo Sandoval? Id
put him in the same category as Posey.
Hunter Pence? Im surprised when he ever
hits one. Same thing with Brandon Belt.
Catcher, third base, right eld and rst
base the traditional power positions on
the baseball eld. Combined, those four
have hit 48 home runs this season. To put
that in perspective, the Major League
leader, Baltimores Chris Davis, has hit 41
this season.

came to the plate and roped what appeared to
be a two-run triple to right eld to drive in

SoCal, however, appealed to rst base,
claiming Lopez missed the bag as he round-
ed it. The umpires agreed and Lopez was
called out, but the damage was down and the

WORLD
By Bassem Mroue and Zeina Karam
BEIRUT Syrian troops ambushed a
large group of rebels Wednesday trudging
through what once was a secret route
through a desert road northeast of Damascus,
killing more than 60 ghters in a barrage of
machine gun re and leaving their bodies in
the sand.
State television claimed those killed came
from an al-Qaida-linked group that has
joined the battle against President Bashar
Assad, whose troops are trying to drive
opposition forces from areas surrounding
his seat of power in the capital.
There were conflicting reports on the
attack in Adra, which lies on a supply route
between Damascus and rebel-held areas to
the east that is often the scene of heavy
clashes between the two sides. The dawn
attack dealt another heavy blow to opposi-
tion troops following a string of recent
regime successes.
Syrian troops have been on the offensive
in the past few months in an attempt to clear
out Damascus suburbs held by opposition
ghters.
Syrian state-run media showed footage of
bloodied corpses lying on the ground, some
wearing camouage gear with their weapons
scattered around in the sand. One picture
showed gas masks next to the weapons.
The state-run SANA news agency said
dozens of rebels were killed in the ambush
as they were on their way to attack an army
post near Damascus. SANA identied the
dead as members of the al-Qaida-linked
Jabhat al-Nusra, and said some were foreign
ghters.
Broadcaster Al-Ikhbariya also showed a
Tunisian passport, Islamic headbands and
automatic ries apparently carried by the
rebels.
Some activists disputed the account, say-
ing those killed were Syrian ghters from a
mix of brigades delivering aid to besieged
areas.
Mohammed Saeed, an activist based near
Damascus, told the Associated Press that 65
rebels were on their way from Damascus
eastern suburbs to Qalamoun nearby.
Syrian troops kill more than 60 in desert ambush
Egypt says diplomacy has failed to resolve crisis
CAIRO Egypts military-backed interim leadership pro-
claimed Wednesday that a crackdown against two protest
sites is inevitable, saying that nearly two weeks of foreign
diplomatic efforts to peacefully resolve its standoff with the
Muslim Brotherhood have failed.
The governments statements strongly suggested that
Egypts sharp polarization may spiral into even more blood-
shed as thousands of supporters of ousted President
Mohammed Morsi, a longtime Brotherhood gure, camp out
at two main Cairo intersections and hold daily protests out-
side security buildings.
At stake is stability in the Arab worlds most populous
country. Already more than 250 people have been killed in
violence since the military ousted Morsi last month, includ-
ing at least 130 Brotherhood supporters in two major clash-
es between security forces and backers of the deposed presi-
dent.
The decision agreed on by all to clear the sit-ins is nal
and irreversible, Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi said on
state television, reading a statement issued by the Egyptian
Cabinet.
In response, top Muslim Brotherhood gure Mohammed
el-Beltagy said the protesters are determined to keep up the
sit-ins.
U.S. institute: North Korea
expanding nuclear plant
VIENNA AU.S. institute tracking North Koreas nuclear
weapons program says recent satellite photos show
Pyongyang is doubling the size of its uranium enrichment
plant, jibing with the countrys announced plans to expand
technology that can be used both to create energy and the
core of nuclear weapons.
The imagery comes from two sources, satellite companies
Digital Globe and Astrium Geoinformation Services, and was
seen by the Associated Press ahead of publication by the
Institute for Science and International Security on
Wednesday. In an accompanying note, ISIS said the photos
of the Nyongbyon nuclear complex show construction under
way to effectively double the size of the enrichment hall.
That, said ISIS, would allow North Korea to also double the
number of centrifuges now enriching uranium. Revealing the
existence of a uranium enrichment program three years ago,
Pyongyang said the plant contained 2,000 centrifuges
machines that are linked up in series and spin uranium gas
into material that can be used either to power reactors or arm
nuclear weapons, depending on the degree of enrichment.
As al-Qaida grows, leaders remain a global threat
WASHINGTON Far from being on the brink of collapse,
al-Qaidas core leadership remains a potent threat and one
that experts say has encouraged the terror networks spread
into more countries today than it was operating in immedi-
ately after 9/11.
President Barack Obama, who ordered the May 2011 raid
that killed Osama bin Laden, has described al-Qaidas head-
quarters as a shadow of its former self and his spokesman
Jay Carney has called it severely diminished and decimat-
ed. The bravado, however, didnt match the Obama adminis-
trations action this week.
Nineteen U.S. diplomatic outposts stretching across the
Eastern Hemisphere remain closed, and nonessential person-
nel have been evacuated from the U.S. Embassy in Yemen
after intelligence ofcials said they had intercepted a recent
message from al-Qaidas top leader about plans for a major
terror attack.

A family room for the whole family
By Melissa Rayworth
In many homes, the family room is dec-
orated with just one purpose: to withstand
the impact of juice-spilling, game-playing,
cookie-eating, crayon-wielding children.
The result is often a room thats long on
durability but short on style.
How can you create a stylish, sophisticat-
ed family room where grown-ups will want
to spend time, while still keeping the space
kid-friendly?
Three design experts Brian Patrick
Flynn of decordemon.com and Flynnside
Out Productions; Betsy Burnham of
Burnham Design; and Jon Call of Mr. Call
Designs offer some advice:
STRONG FABRICS
Design technology and textiles are
catching up with our family-friendly
lifestyle, says Burnham. There are so
many outdoor fabrics, so many amazing
vinyls that are durable and easy to clean,
but also look good. Burnham is a fan of
Holly Hunt fabrics treated with Nano-Tex,
which resists spills and stains without
changing the fabrics texture.
Indoor/outdoor rugs are another great
option now that theyre being made with
materials soft to the touch.
Flynn, who often uses Sunbrella
indoor/outdoor fabrics, suggests upholster-
ing with removable slipcovers for easy
cleaning.
When choosing slipcovers, washed
linen is great since its meant to look worn-
in and super casual. Hes also a fan of very
dark denim: Navy blue and charcoal are my
go-to choices for denim slipcovers since
they look more tailored than basic beiges or
creams.
NEAT SOFAS
Call recommends skipping sofas that
have three or four seat cushions and several
more cushions across the back. If youve
got kids playing and jumping on those, he
says, youll constantly be nding the cush-
ions out of place or on the oor.
Instead, he says, pick a sofa with one
large seat cushion and no separate cushions
along the back something tailored and
clean looking that wont need its cushions
adjusted constantly.
MULTI-USE TABLES
Family rooms are built for entertaining,
so think about exible seating, Burnham
says. Maybe a side table thats also a stool,
or a coffee table thats also a bench or an
ottoman.
Kids can use an ottoman as a surface for
games, while adult party guests can use it as
seating.
Opt for tables with rounded corners for
safety in rooms where kids often play,
Flynn says, and choose tables with metal
or weathered wood tops. Metal tops can
withstand heavy wear and tear, while weath-
ered wood is intended to look worn, so as
kids take their toll on the pieces, it simply
adds to the intended look.
VARIED LIGHTING
Rooms that do double-duty need lighting
that does too, says Call.
When you have adults over or if youre
watching TV or its a more intimate
moment, you want a lamp by the sofa, at
eye-level or below, to create intimate pools
of light, he says.
But kids doing homework or art projects
need the brighter light that overhead x-
tures provide. Make sure your family room
has both.
EXTRA STORAGE
Have a place for everything, Burnham
says, so toys and other kid-related items can
be put away easily at the end of the day. She
recommends a wall of built-in cabinets with
doors, so kids clutter can be easily stashed,
at hand but out of sight.
She also suggests creating storage space
in the family room for a few fragile or valu-
able items that arent kid-friendly.
You can have a cashmere throw in the
cabinet that you pull out for the adults,
Burnham says. By storing these things in
the room, youre more likely to really use
them, yet theyre protected from the kids
play.
Flynn also recommends built-ins, and
suggests adding color and pattern to their
back panels.
I usually use large-scale patterned wallpa-
per, he says. Consider nautical styles:
Theyre casual and fun, and they dont take
themselves too seriously.
For additional storage, Flynn says,
replace coffee tables with upholstered stor-
age ottomans complete with safety locking
mechanisms, which prevent little ones from
getting inside of them to hide, and also pro-
tecting any little ngers from hinges. He
suggests upholstering ottomans with
indoor-outdoor fabrics so theyll withstand
spills and sticky ngers.

BOLD COLORS
In a high-trafc family room, Call
suggests sticking with deeper colors
rather than whites or pale shades.
Flynn agrees: The one color I use
more than any other in family-centric
spaces is navy blue, he says, because
it can appeal to the whole family. He
recommends Seaworthy navy from
Sherwin-Williams: It has just the
right amount of purple in it to make it
bright instead of dark.
Red is another high-energy hue
which works great in family rooms,
Flynn says, which works well with
most other colors, especially black-
brown, navy blue and charcoal.
PLAYFUL DECOR
Dont hide the fact that the room is
being shared with kids, Flynn says.
Embrace it. Work children and play-
fulness into the design of a family
rooms aesthetic, he suggests.
On the walls, he likes to use pop art
or original photography of toys, espe-
cially vintage toys, or black-and-
white candid photography of the fami-
ly blown up to an enormous scale to
personalize the room.
Kids and pets are a huge part of our
lives. Since we love them more than
the sofas and chairs they sit on, why
not make them as much as part of a
rooms decoration as its furnishings?
Flynn says

Ricochet might not attract the casual passerby but it has
found a huge audience on the Web and is starting to produce
some aspiring young fashion designers.
Pillot opened Ricochet in 1996 and ran it as a consign-
ment shop for about 10 years as she raised her two young
boys on her own in an upstairs apartment. She mostly sold
childrens and maternity clothes in the beginning.
Today, the shop is starting to crowd Pillots living space
as it has turned more into a fashion school. She has teamed
with local colleges and design schools to offer students
credit for volunteering their time in the shop.
She not only teaches sewing but also how to sell and mar-
ket her students creations.
Pillot now has her eye on opening a shop in downtown
San Mateo and wants to raise awareness for all that
Ricochet offers.
Weve survived the ups and downs of the economy and
weve done it with a smile, she told the Daily Journal.
As summer nears its end, she will dress up the two tall,
skinny statues in front of the Collective Entrepreneurs
Club on Third Avenue with some of Ricochets unique out-
ts in preparation for the annual Wine Walk and some other
events planned for downtown San Mateo.
Many of her student interns can get a taste for the fashion
industry before deciding to invest in college, Pillot said.
I have a passion to watch the students grow and suc-
ceed, she said.
It is a hard industry to break into, however, as less than
20 percent of fashion students actually nd a job in the
eld, she said.
She calls her own creations classic with a primitive
edge and never uses patterns.
Everything we do is freestyle, she said. Ricochet is
also not just about creating clothes but how to sell them.
She and her students participate in may local fashion shows
and events.
One of her current students is Yelena Vlasova, who
attends Foothill College and formerly the Fashion Institute
of Design and Merchandising, with which Ricochet part-
ners.
Vlasova is hoping to learn the industry with Pillots
guidance, which includes mastering tricky sewing tech-
niques and how to breathe new life into old clothes, what
Pillot calls up-cycling.
Ricochet even hosted four young women from Pakistan
earlier this summer who found the shop on the Web.
They were coming to visit family during summer and
looked us up online before they got here, Pillot said.
They were even able to get some school credit for volun-
teering.
Pillot also teaches people with special needs how to sew
and will soon be offering classes in Spanish and French.
Most think of the shop as a consignment store, but it is
much more than that, Pillot said.
Ricochet is located at 1610 S. El Camino Real, San
Mateo. To learn more go to www.ricochetwearableart.net.

Never been a heavy metal fan? The
new look of brass, copper, bronze and
nickel in this falls decor might change
your mind.
The nishes are warm, without the
kitschy clash of some previous go-
rounds. Youll see these softer, richer-
looking metals joining gold and sil-
ver on the decor stage as accents on
accessories, as furniture embellishment
and as a brushed nish on textiles.
Its a classic look that can work in
both traditional and contemporary
spaces.

Metals glow in fall decor
SUBURBAN LIVING 21

If theres somewhere in your home that
needs livening up but its not practical to use
real plants, consider using faux owers and
greenery.
And dont worry about it.
Decorators, or maybe your mother, used to
tell you to skip the fake stuff if you wanted to
stay classy. But improved manufacturing and
materials are giving articial plants and silk
owers a fresh reputation.
The technology has come a long way.
They look so real now its hard to tell, says
Kathie Chrisicos, designer and president of
Boston-based Chrisicos Interiors.
SELECTION SAVVY
When youre shopping for faux, pay atten-
tion to detail. Manufactured plants and ow-
ers should have the variations in color, tex-
ture and density that live plants do, including
the look of new growth and old growth, says
Doug Hopeman, owner of the Nashville,
Tenn.-based Artificial Plants and Trees.
Visible stems, branches and trunks should
appear realistic.
The ability to create the minute, intricate
detail of everything about the plants and
trees helps make them more natural-looking
than they were 10 years ago, he says.
You can choose from an array of products.
People often choose real plants that arent
native to their region, so dont feel limited
to the varieties found near you when buying
articial ones, says Jo Pearson, a creative
expert with Michaels Stores.
When it comes to creativity, there is no
right or wrong way to choose, she says.
The great thing is that articial owers and
plants offer the exibility to choose what
you want when you want, regardless of the
season or your region.
Current trends in greenery include palms
and succulents, as well as potted herbs such
as lavender and rosemary, and small leafy
plants and ivies. Peonies, mums, dahlias,
sunowers and hydrangeas are among popu-
lar silk orals.
PERFECT PRESENTATION
Articial plants are easy to manipulate.
You can bend stems and branches to make
them reach toward natural light or t into a
certain space or container, and then change it
up so it doesnt always look the same.
Ive had people tell me my plant was real-
ly growing when, in fact, Im just reposi-
tioning it occasionally, Pearson says.
To arrange petals, stems and foliage on
articial products, check out photos of live
plants online.
For Stephanie Norris, the designer behind
San Diego-based Cre8tive Designs Inc.,
using faux plants requires choosing the right
containers, and accessories such as real soil,
sand and stones.
Its a little more texture, she says. Its
dressing it up, which is really the nishing
touch with using an articial plant.
OUTDOOR INTEREST
Some homeowners mix articial greenery
into their landscaping in areas where live
plants dont thrive.
Its that side of your house that has no
light, and every season youre putting new
topiaries out there, Hopeman says. Thats
the perfect opportunity for an artificial
plant.
Norris says she mixes articial with live
plants at her home for a lusher look. Among
her favorites are small boxwoods sold by
IKEA.
MINIMAL MAINTENANCE
Because you dont have to prune, water or
fertilize faux foliage and orals, theyre per-
fect for people who dont have a green
thumb, who travel a lot or who have aller-
gies.
While we all love real plants, sometimes
real plants just arent practical, Pearson
says.
Keeping articial plants looking their
best usually requires no more than dusting or
wiping with a damp cloth. Many can be
rinsed off in the shower or outdoors with a
hose on a gentle setting.
Youll want to replace faux plants whenev-
er you see signs of fading.
Hopeman says faux plants are a great
choice for a drab or dark area where nothing
will grow.
And, of course, you should still buy your
wife fresh owers, he adds.
Faux flowers and plants can liven up home
Because you dont have to prune, water or fertilize faux foliage and orals, theyre perfect for
people who dont have a green thumb, who travel a lot or who have allergies.
Plants that model
obedience,sensitivity
There are two plants whose behavior makes
me think back to when my daughter was a
teenager.
Those years can be turbulent ones for kids
and parents alike, and these plants might offer
a lesson, a distraction or at least a smile.
The rst obedience plant models
behavior that gardening parents might wish
they saw more of. Obedience plant
(Physostegia virginiana) gets its name for how
well the owers obey. Point the ower stalk in
the desired direction for example, all facing
outwards in a vase and they stay put. No
muttering or eye-rolling.
Besides being a good listener, obedience
plant is pretty. Its owering wands rise 3 or 4
feet high, each closely studded along the top
portion with tubular, lipped blossoms that are
lavender pink with darker speckles. Some vari-
eties have white or deep rose owers, dwarf
stature, or leaves that are speckled white and
green. The plant makes a pleasing contrast in
form to neighboring phloxes or tall asters in
similar color shades.
Obedience plant is a hardy, native perennial
eager to spread via running roots. Its not espe-
cially hard to discipline in its spread, though.
New stems with attached roots readily come
free if given a sharp yank when the soil is
moist in spring or fall. And if you need more
obedience, just poke these severed parts into
new ground, where they quickly take hold.
Theyre not nicky about soil but do like sun.

approved the decision to sell the post
ofce property at 341 Lorton Ave.
The plan is to relocate all retail and
P.O. Box operations currently housed
in the Burlingame Main Post Ofce to
a new location in the same vicinity as
the current post ofce that is appropri-
ately sized for its current needs, said
U.S. Postal Service spokesman James
Wigdel.
Before we start looking for new
spot, we have to have a good buyer and
a good spot selected, Wigdel said.
We dont want to lease a spot without
knowing who were going to sell the
building to.
Wigdel said the length of time the
selling process takes will depend on
the buyer and how many bids the U.S.
Postal Service receives.
We have to do due diligence to make
sure everything is in order, Wigdel
said. We want this to happen as quick-
ly as possible, but we dont want to
speculate.
There is one known possible buyer.
Grosvenor, an international property
development, investment and fund
management group, put forward a
mixed-use project using lot E locat-
ed between Lorton Avenue, Park Road,
Burlingame Avenue and Howard Avenue
and the adjacent post office.
Burlingame Public Works Director
Syed Murtuza said the company has
expressed interest in buying the post
ofce property as well.
The concept Grosvenor put forward
for the lot space includes 100 residen-
tial units, 35,000 square feet of retail
and/or restaurant space and 125 resi-
dential parking spaces, according to a
city staff report.
Mayor Ann Keighran said there are a
lot of possibilities for what can be
done with the post ofce and she said
community input will be needed. She
said she still doesnt have an idea of
what the ultimate project will turn out
to be.
During a City Council meeting in
April of this year, the council voted 4-
1 to send a letter to the U.S. Postal
Service requesting that preservation
covenants not be added as a require-
ment of sale for the post ofce proper-
t y. Doing so, the majority said, would
tie local control and the historical
considerations would be covered under
the California Environmental Quality
Act. Councilwoman Cathy Baylock,
on the other hand, said the practice is
customary and could act as an extra
form of protection for a historical
aspect of Burlingames downtown.
The U.S. Postal Service faces a $9
billion decit. As a result, last year the
independent government agency
announced plans to close up to 3,700
post ofces and 250 mail processing
centers across the country.

no contest plea he entered in May to
eight counts of felony child molesta-
tion. Freeman set aside two days for
the defense motion and, if not granted,
sentencing.
Freeman indicated a likely eight-
year prison term for Ayres crimes but
will consider up to 22 years after hear-
ing from victims.
Ayres incarceration is a change for a
man who has spent most of the last six
years free on various amount of bail
while being prosecuted for abusing
boys under the guise of medical exams.
During a hearing last year to determine
if he was faking dementia to avoid
trial, prosecutor Melissa McKowan
referenced a report from Napa State
Hospital, where hed been committed
as incompetent, that said Ayres was
intentionally refusing treatment.
Ayres, McKowan said, asked Why? So
I can go to prison?
Although Ayres was originally
charged with molesting six patients
between 1988 and 1996 when they
were ages 9 to 13, authorities believe
he abused dozens of other patients
whose cases fall outside the statute of
limitations.
Ayres was once well-known as presi-
dent of the American Academy of Child
and Adolescent Psychiatry and as host
of the sex education series Time of
Your Life. He also received San Mateo
County juvenile court referrals. Police
began looking at him in 2002 and, in
2005, Ayres settled a lawsuit with a
former patient but he wasnt arrested
on a $1.5 million warrant until 2007.
Between then and yesterdays remand
back into custody, Ayres posted
$250,000 bail, then $750,000 and
then $900,000 as over the years
charges were added, both his criminal
and competency trials ended with a
hung jury and he was eventually
returned from Napa State Hospital to
stand trial again. After changing his
plea in May, Freeman allowed him to
remain free pending the now-moved
Aug. 6 sentencing but the court-
appointed doctors need for more time
to complete the dangerousness report
prompted the judge to act.
The state requires a doctor evaluation
of defendants convicted of some sex
crimes, including child molestation.
The report on Ayres was delayed
because multiple doctors approached
to perform the evaluation claimed a
conict due to connections to Ayres.

Gupta added that he would prefer to
have dialogue with other cities in the
area about dealing with business taxes
before making any changes. He said
the council could come back with a new
measure in 2015.
Councilwoman Karyl Matsumoto
said she would like to push back until
later and that Clear Channels propos-
al was not for the greater good.
What was proposed was not accept-
able, said Councilman Richard
Garbarino. We dont nd it necessary
to go forward with the measure since
its not worthwhile at this point.
With the proposed measure, the new
business license tax change, the city
would gain $350,000 more revenue
annually, and increasing up to $1 mil-
lion annually if the tax were fully
implemented and if potential new rev-
enue based upon business expansion
plans were realized, according to a city
staff report. This would come from a
$50 tax per up to $100,000 in gross
receipts, $100 for $100,001 to
$200,000 in gross receipts, $2,000
for $200,001 to $300,000 in gross
receipts, $5,000 for $300,001 to
$500,000 in gross tax receipts, all the
way up to $40,000 for the first
$500,001 of gross receipts plus
$8,000 for each increment of
$100,000 of gross receipts over
$500,000, the staff report stated.
At a public hearing July 31, a repre-
sentative from Clear Channel said that
the $1 million revenue is the same as
the current revenue numbers from busi-
ness license tax and that this proposed
measure unfairly targets the billboard
industry.
We have a long-term relationship
and wed like to foster that going for-
ward, Qualls said at a meeting
Monday. I can see the pressure from
the community to balance the budget
and still offer them services. We feel
like right now we proposed an alterna-
tive that was aggressive for us and we
hope that youll consider it.

Eric C. M. Ely
Case Number: 123537
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Eric C. M. Ely. A Petition
for Probate has been filed by Diane A.
Ely in the Superior Court of California,
County of San Mateo. The Petition for
Probate requests that Diane A. Ely be
appointed as personal representative to
administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
able for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: August 16, 2013 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063. If you object to the granting of the
petition, you should appear at the hear-
ing and state your objections or file writ-
ten objections with the court before the
hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

By Jason Straziuso
and Tom Odula
NAIROBI, Kenya Asmall re
at Kenyas main airport swelled
into a roaring inferno Wednesday
that destroyed part of East Africas
largest aviation hub and hampered
air travel across the continent.
Firefighters were desperately
short of equipment in an area
where the county government
apparently lacks a single working
re engine. Crews needed hours to
get the ames under control and at
one point resorted to a line of of-
cers passing water buckets.
The early morning blaze gutted
the arrival hall, forcing authori-
ties to close the entire airport and
airlines to cancel dozens of
flights. The flames also charred
airport banks and foreign
exchange bureaus.
No serious injuries were report-
ed.
The re broke out on the 15th
anniversary of the bombings by
al-Qaida of the U.S. embassies in
Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, in
neighboring Tanzania. No terror
connection to the re was immedi-
ately evident, but the blaze
revived long-standing safety con-
cerns about Jomo Kenyatta
International Airport.
A statement from Kenya
President Uhuru Kenyatta said the
cause of the re was being investi-
gated and that there is no reason
to speculate at this point.
Kenyas anti-terror police boss,
Boniface Mwaniki, said he was
waiting for more information
before completely ruling out ter-
rorism.
Authorities last week shut down
several duty-free shops at the air-
port, and some Kenyan media
reports speculated that disgruntled
parties from the forced closings
may have had motive to carry out
an arson attack.
Inferno roars through Kenyan airport

SANAA, Yemen Military and
intelligence officials in Yemen
said Wednesday they uncovered an
al-Qaida plot to re missiles at for-
eign embassies in the capital and
to attack naval forces guarding
international shipping in the Red
Sea.
Details of the plot, which was
reminiscent of the suicide attack
on the USS Cole in 2000 that
killed 17 American sailors,
emerged as Yemen remains in a
heightened state of alert that has
seen the U.S. and British
embassies evacuated and a new
suspected U.S. drone strike that
killed seven alleged militants
from the terrorist group.
The discovery of the al-Qaida
plot prompted the Defense
Ministry to step up security
around the strategic Bab el-
Mandeb waterway, which con-
nects the Red Sea with the Gulf of
Aden.
Ofcials banning speedboats or
shing vessels from the area, and
military forces have been ordered
to shoot to kill anybody who
arouses suspicion or refuses to
identify themselves.
Defense Minister Minister Gen.
Mohammed Nasser Ahmed visited
the area Sunday and urged the
forces, known as Battalion 117, to
stay on high alert for possible sui-
cide attacks, according to ofcials
who spoke to the Associated Press
on condition of anonymity
because they were not authorized
to talk to the media.
An estimated 3.5 million barrels
of oil passed daily in 2010
through the Bab el-Mandeb strait,
increasing the strategic impor-
tance of impoverished Yemen,
which itself has only a relatively
small production of oil and natural
gas. Revenue from oil and gas pro-
duction is declining, worsening
Yemens ability to provide social
services.
The militants from the terrorist
groups Yemeni branch known
as al-Qaida in the Arabian
Peninsula also were said to be
plotting to use long-range mis-
siles to target embassies and
diplomats residences, or try to
take foreigners as hostages, the
ofcials said.
Yemens government says
it uncovers al-Qaida plots
