The special district oversight
board which last year spared the
scandalized mosquito abatement
district despite questions about
management allowing an
$800,000 embezzlement by work-
ers may reconsider the idea of
transferring its functions to the
countys Environmental Health
division.
In July, the San Mateo County
Civil Grand Jury concluded that
mismanagement, insufficient
accountability and inadequate
oversight were behind the crimes
at the Mosquito and Vector
Control District. The jury also
urged the countys Local Agency
Formation Commission which
opted in 2012 to maintain the sta-
tus quo near-unanimously after the
embezzlement came to light to
take a second look at dissolving
the district and transferring its
services to the countys
Environmental Health division.
The San Carlos City Council
whose representative to the dis-
trict is the one who prompted dis-
covery of the stealing agrees
the idea needs further revaluation.
The City Council signed off on its
mandated response to the grand
jury Monday night. LAFCo will
gets its turn Wednesday afternoon.
Although county Supervisor
Don Horsley, who chairs the
LAFCo board, voted against dis-
solution last year, he said a deci-
sion this time depends greatly on
whether the district has instituted
recommended controls to prevent
future errors. Horsley said he
remains unsettled the district

City: Train
horns not
overly loud
Ceremony marks three-year anniversary of fire; PG&E announces settlements
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
More than three years after a
study indicated noise from freight
train horns on the Peninsula fall
within federal limits, San Mateos
Public Works Commission will
hear a report by city staff
Wednesday night that essentially
supports the claim.
A study released in March 2010
by the Federal Railroad
Administration determined that
noise readings from the horns fall
within guidelines mandated by
law.
The administration conducted
the tests after then-assemblyman
Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, said his
office was receiving complaints
about the horns from Union Pacic
trains, which generally travel on
the Peninsula corridor late at night
or during early-morning hours.
Public Works staff has devoted
a signicant amount of resources
to the train horn issue. We have
thoroughly investigated issues
brought to our attention by the
community and have been very
diligent in facilitating the commu-
nication between our residents and
the railroad operators. Based on
this study, while UP trains are
sounding at a higher level than
Caltrain trains all the trains are
generally operating within the fed-
eral limits, according to a staff
report.
The department has also investi-
gated other issues brought to its
attention by the community,
including the implementation of a
Quiet Zone.
Based on our research and study,
it would be a signicant monetary
investment by the city to improve
all the crossings in San Mateo to
meet the safety standards for a
quiet zone. In addition, although

Stork detained as
spy in Egypt found dead
CAIRO Astork once detained by
Egyptian authorities on suspicion of
being a winged spy has been found
dead.
Mahmoud Hassib, the head of
Egypts southern protected areas, said
Saturday that local residents found the
dead bird on an island in the Nile,
south of the ancient city of Aswan.
In August, a local resident found the
stork in Egypts Qena governorate,
some 280 miles southeast of Cairo.
Both he and police were suspicious of
the European wildlife tracker found on
it. Authorities later let the bird go.
However, controversy trails the bird
into death. An Egyptian wildlife
organization claimed on its Facebook
page the bird was eaten by local vil-
lagers. Hassib denied that the bird
had been eaten, though he didnt know
an exact cause of death.
Bay Bridge gets
good luck charm: Troll
SAN FRANCISCO Anal piece of
safety hardware a bearded, spindly
legged troll has been installed in
the new eastern span of the San
Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.
The troll is meant to be a protector
and good luck charm, modeled after a
similar statue placed surreptitiously
by a steelworker on the old span after
the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.
The new statue forged by an
unknown artist was installed at an
undisclosed location, Bay Area Tol l
Authority spokesman John Goodwin
said.
The original troll was removed from
its perch on Labor Day in preparation
for the demolition of the old bridge
and will likely be housed in a museum
or park, but plans were still being
nalized.
The new, $6.4 billion portion of the
Bay Bridge opened to trafc on Labor
Day, nearly 24 years after the Loma
Prieta earthquake damaged the old
span.
Construction was years behind
schedule and billions of dollars over
budget amid political ghts over its
design and engineering challenges.
Goodwin said the new troll, with an
axe in one hand and a hammer in the
other, is somewhere inside the new
bridge but its whereabouts will be kept
secret.
A new troll appeared, as these
things happen, on Labor Day, under
the cover of darkness, Goodwin said.
Taylor Swift property
trespassing charge dismissed
SOUTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. Atres-
passing charge has been dismissed
against a Maine man accused of show-
ing up at Taylor Swifts Rhode Island
vacation home.
The Westerly Sun reports that police
decided to drop the charge after deter-
mining it would be difcult to prove
that 55-year-old Joseph Bernatche of
Portland, Maine, was on Swifts prop-
erty when he handed her security guard
a note telling the singer to call him.
Westerly police Lt. Phil Williams
said it was not clear whether the guard
had passed onto public property when
he accepted the note.
Bernatche pleaded not guilty to the
charge of willful trespass after his July
27 arrest.
Judge Melanie Quirk in 4th Division
District Court dismissed the charge on
Friday.

Most of the 35-acre city-owned San Juan
Hills property in Belmont will likely be pre-
served as open space if the council votes in
that direction tonight but Councilwoman
Coralin Feierbach wants to make sure the
action will protect the land forever from
development by future councils.
Feierbach also wants the extra income gen-
erated from the sale of about two developable
acres in the hilly area to be set aside to pur-
chase even more land in the Skymont area to
preserve it as open space.
The city bought the property by taking out
a $1.5 million loan in 2009 and is currently
under contract to sell about eight acres of it to
potential buyer Shikui Chen for a little more
than $2 million.
Feierbach wants the extra $500,000 gener-
ated from the sale to go toward purchasing
more open space land in the Skymont area
and/or to use the money to improve Marsten
Avenue.
I dont think this money should be spent
outside of that area, she told the Daily
Journal Monday.
She also wants to know what degree of legal
protection the land will have if it is designat-
ed open space as compared to parkland.
The property has a total of 87 plots includ-
ed in the purchase that the city bid on in an
auction held by the U.S. Marshals Service.
Much of the property is on steep slopes and
is considered undevelopable and the remain-
der of the open space will be connected to
Belmonts trail system in the hills. About 22
acres are actually suitable to develop on
Bishop Road and Marsten and Ralston
avenues, according to city staff.
Chen plans to build three homes on the two
acres on Bishop Road and preserve the other
six acres as open space, according to city
staff.
Feierbachs main concern is that a future
council does not undo all the work councils in
the past have made to permanently protect the
canyon lands.
The Belmont City Council meets 7:30
p.m., tonight, City Hall, 1 Twin Pines Lane,
Belmont.
Bank robbery suspect
claims bomb, drinks coffee
A would-be bank robbery who allegedly

himself to a cup of coffee and walking out of
the building pleaded not guilty to second-
degree burglary.
Aaron Brandon Justin, 35, entered a Chase
Bank in San Mateo on Sept. 4, 2013 and
handed a teller a note that read I have a bomb,
give me the money, according to the District
Attorneys Ofce.
After the teller panicked and froze, she
regained herself and pushed the alarm button
but by that time Justin had already poured
himself some coffee and
left the bank. He was
apprehended nearby and
identied by witnesses,
according to prosecutors.
Justin pleaded not guilty
to second-degree burglary,
attempted robbery and
making a false explosives
claim. He did not waive his
right to a speedy trial and
returns to court Sept. 19
for a preliminary hearing.
He is in custody on $50,000 bail.

Brown signs law closing rape loophole
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown
signed into law Monday a bill closing a
legal loophole that allowed a rape convic-
tion to be overturned because the woman
was not married.
The bill, AB65, sponsored by Republican
state Assemblyman Katcho Achadjian of
San Luis Obispo, xes a state law dating to
the 1870s that said impersonating a per-
sons spouse to have sex was rape. The law
now also includes impersonating a persons
cohabitant, boyfriend or girlfriend.
The revision was prompted by a 2009 case
for which Julio Morales was sentenced to
three years in state prison for impersonat-
ing a womans boyfriend in order to have
sex with her. A panel of judges overturned
the trial courts conviction in January
because under the arcane law she wasnt pro-
tected she wasnt married and the man
wasnt pretending to be her husband.
Leaders seek to avoid
early inmate releases
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown
and the four leaders of Californias
Legislature reached a compromise Monday
on reducing the states prison population,
offering to spend more money on rehabil-
itation efforts if a panel of federal judges
will extend an end-of-the-year deadline to
release thousands of inmates.
The deal relies on the state persuading
three federal judges to give California
time to let rehabilitation programs work
rather than spend $315 million to lease
cells in private prisons and county jails.
The leaders agreed that if the judges
dont extend the deadline, the state will
fall back on Browns plan to lease the
cells.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Prosecutors yesterday charged two men
with murder and robbery for their alleged
role in a botched San Mateo home invasion
last week that left a third accomplice dead
when the occupant opened re.
Bunn Vo, 22, of San Jose, and Edwin Lee,
22, of Daly City, were each charged with
rst-degree murder, attempted murder, rob-
bery, kidnapping to commit robbery and
conspiracy. Neither entered a plea.
Third suspect, Bryant Ma, 23, of San
Jose, was killed in the shootout. Lee was
also injured but booked into San Mateo
County Jail with Vo after being discharged
from the San Jose hospital where the trio
headed after the shootout.
The incident happened around 11:30 p.m.
Sept. 4 in the 1500 block of Lodi Avenue,
near South Norfolk Street east of Highway
101. Police say the three suspects entered
the home where they confronted four others
and gunre erupted. Two people were shot
Ma and the 24-year-old resident who shot
him and the suspects ed in a dark SUV.
At Regional Medical Center of San Jose,
May was dead on arrival and Lee was treated
for a non-life threatening shot. Hospital
personnel alerted police who connected
them to the San Mateo shooting. Adark blue
SUVwas located in the hospital parking lot.
Authorities have said the home invasion
was not random but havent publicly
divulged a possible motive.
California law allows Vo and Lee to be
charged with Mas murder because they were
allegedly participating in a felonious crime
that led to his death.
Vo and Lee remain in custody without bail.

Peninsula musical theater company
Broadway By the Bay looked inward for its
newest executive director, naming Daren
A.C. Carollo, who sits on its board of direc-
tors.
Carollo, who most recently served as
artistic director for Diablo Theatre
Company and the managing director for
Contra Costa Civic Theatre, said he is com-
mitting to establishing the company as an
artistic leader and collaborator in Bay Area
theater.
The short- and long-term goals created
by the staff, the board of directors, and the
Broadway By the Bay family are directly in
line with my goals for local theater,
Carollo said in a prepared statement.
Artistic director Amanda Folena said
Broadway By the Bay is energized by
Carollo coming on board.
I could not ask for a
better partner, Folena
said in a prepared state-
ment.
Carollo has a bache-
lors of arts in theater
from Illinois State
University and has more
than 50 credits as an
award-winning director in
the last decade.
The news comes a little more than a year
after the Redwood City-based theater com-
pany restructured its leadership and re-exam-
ined itself to ensure scally sound progress.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLAYTON Awildre burning in a San
Francisco Bay Area wilderness park grew
Monday, forcing more people to leave their
homes and leading to a smoke advisory for
area residents.
The blaze in Mount Diablo State Park in
Contra Costa County spread to 3,718 acres
or nearly 6 square miles Monday afternoon,
more than double the 1,500 acres reported in
the morning, according to the California
Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
It was 20 percent contained.
Ofcials said hot temperatures and wind
gusts fueled the res spread.
The ames were threatening 100 homes in
the sparsely populated area, which is dotted
with animal pens and shooting ranges. The
re was also threatening electrical transmis-
sion lines, communications infrastructure,
and a historic lookout and visitor center at
the top of the 3,848-foot Mount Diablo. The
Summit Museum was constructed in the
1930s of sandstone from the park.
The blaze broke out Sunday amid nearly
triple-digit temperatures in the early after-
noon. The cause was under investigation.
The re spewed a plume of smoke visible
for miles. It was burning in steep, rugged ter-
rain near Clayton, a town of about 11,000
people northeast of San Francisco, along-
side the park.
In addition to the difcult terrain, reght-
ers faced erratic winds and continued high
temperatures. But they were condent they
would get the blaze under control, Cal Fire
spokesman David Shew said.
Well get it, but it will probably be a few
days, he said.
More than 700 reghters, aided by two
air tankers and three water-dropping heli-
copters, were battling the blaze.
The Bay Area Air Quality Management
District issued a smoke advisory Monday for
parts of Contra Costa, Alameda and Santa
Clara counties. Residents were advised to
take precautions, including setting air con-
ditioning units and car vent systems to recir-
culate.

Officials launch
crime-fighting phone app
SAN FRANCISCO State and local
law enforcement ofcials in California
said on Monday that they hope a new
mobile application will help ofcers
on the street ght crime by using their
smartphones.
Attorney General Kamala Harris, San
Francisco Mayor Ed Lee and Police
Chief Greg Suhr jointly announced
Monday that about 600 San Francisco
police ofcers have used a smartphone
application called JusticeMobile that
allows them to look up suspects
statewide criminal records while they
are out on patrol.
Plans call for about 1,600 ofcers in
San Francisco to receive an expanded
version of the app that will include fed-
eral criminal records. More than
3,600 Los Angeles police ofcers will
soon receive the application, which
was created by the attorney generals
ofce and several San Francisco city
departments using federal, state and
local funds.
New York City police began testing
a similar app to access its departments
criminal records earlier this year. But
Harris, Lee and Suhr said California is
the only state in the country where
ofcers will have access to statewide
criminal records.
On Sept.8,St.Matthews Episcopal Church and Day School wrapped up its backpack

STATE GOVERNMENT
Senat e Bi l l 44, authored by
state Sen. Lel and Yee, D- San
Franci sco/ San Mat eo, was
signed by the governor Monday.
The legislation will require all
state websites to add a link to the
Secretary of St at es voter reg-
istration.
Yee authored the bill to expand access to the online
voter registration system implemented last year. Since
the implementation of online voter registration, more
than 1 million Californians have registered to vote
online, according to Yees office.
As s embl y Bi l l 524, authored by Assembl yman
Kevi n Mul l i n, D-South San Franci sco, passed out
of the Legi sl ature and is now on its way to the gover-
nors office for approval.
The bill removes ambiguity in the law and strength-
ens human rights protections for immigrants by includ-
ing threats to report a persons immigration status in
the definition of extortion, according to Mullins
office.
By clarifying the definition of extortion, AB 524 will
help level the playing field and prevent unethical
employers from using immigration status as a means of
escaping responsibility for workplace abuses, coercion
and wage theft, according to Mullins office.
As s embl y Bi l l 11 3 5, authored by Mullin to
expand the list of documents used to validate vote-by-
mail ballots was signed into law by the governor, tak-
ing effect Jan. 1, 2014.
Current law says a vote-by-mail ballot may only be
counted if the signature on the ballot envelope com-
pares with the signature on the voters original regis-
tration form, according to Mullins office.
Legislation by state Sen. Jerry Hi l l , D- San
Mat eo, allowing voters to confirm their mail-in ballot
was counted was signed Monday by the governor.
SB 589 will create a free access system and provide
county registrars with flexibility to determine how they
want to comply with the legislation by notifying vot-
ers on a walk-in basis, over the phone or online,
according to Hills office.
Senat e Bi l l 467, authored by state Sen. Mark

Have you ever
attended a funeral
or memorial service
and felt ill-at-ease,
uncomfortable or
awkward when
talking to the family
of the deceased? Have you ever stumbled
through your words and condolences
because you just didnt know what to say or
how to say it? Have you even decided to not
approach the family for fear of saying the
wrong thing or making a fool of yourself? If
so you are not alone. Many people in this
situation want to provide some kind of
comfort to the immediate family, but just
dont have the verbal tools to do so in an
assuring manner.
Learning Funeral Etiquette can be
useful. Using the right words at the right
time is an appropriate way to show that you
care, and in situations like this can be of
great help when provided correctly.
Standard condolences such as I am sorry
for your loss have become routine and
generic. A personalized phrase can be
welcomed such as John touched many
lives or I will miss John. DO NOT ask
the cause of death, offer advice or make
comments that would diminish the
importance of the loss such as Oh, youre
young and can marry again.
Other ways to demonstrate your support
include: 1. Listening. The family may feel
the need to express their anxiety, and giving
them that opportunity can be therapeutic; 2.
An embrace. This can show that you care
without the need for words; 3. Offering your
services. This shows the family that you are
willing to give extra time for them: Please
let me know if there is anything I can do to
help (be prepared to act if needed).
Even if you dont feel confident in
approaching the family there are other ways
to show that you care: 1. Attending the
funeral and signing the Memorial Book will
show the family that you took the time to be
there in support; 2. Dressing appropriately
for the funeral will demonstrate your efforts
to prepare for this special occasion (dark
colors are no longer a requisite for funerals,
but dressing in a coat, tie, dress or other
attire that youd wear to any special event
are considered a way of showing you care);
3. In certain cases friends are invited to
stand up and offer BRIEF personal feelings.
Prior to the funeral write a few key notes
and reflections which will help you organize
your thoughts. Even if there is no
opportunity to speak before a group you
may have a chance to offer your thoughts to
the family following the ceremony; 4. A
personalized card or note will help you
arrange your words better and can be kept
by the family. If you dont have their
mailing address you can send your envelope
to the funeral home and they will forward it
to the next of kin; 5. Providing flowers is a
long time tradition, or making a charitable
donation in the deceaseds memory will give
the family a strong sense of your regards; 6.
If appropriate a brief phone call can show
your immediate concern, but generally this
should be avoided to give the family the
privacy they may need.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Adjusting to new standards, grappling
with new technology and keeping the
Hillsborough City Elementary School
District one of the top districts in the state
are important issues for those running for
the districts Board of Trustees.
The four seeking seats on the board
incumbent Lynne Esselstein, Don Geddis,
Kaarin Hardy and Pearl Wu visited the
Daily Journal office last week for an
endorsement interview. Candidates were
concerned with infrastructure changes need-
ed to usher in the new computer-based
Smarter Balanced assessments that come
with the Common Core curriculum shift and
continuing to have a strong school district.
Upcoming changes
The states new Common Core standards
shift to more team collaborative learning,
with less time spent on lectures and more of
an emphasis on classroom technology.
New Smarter Balance aligns with these new
standards and will go into effect during the
2014-15 school year.
Making sure teachers are prepared to have
kids ready for the new assessment standards
was a concern for Geddis.
Hillsborough is well-prepared, but we
dont even have the textbooks yet, Geddis
said. Its a lot of work.
Hardy works in change management con-
sultation and said theres going to be some
navigation through this curriculum change.
She noted teachers are excited because they
know it means its what is best for kids.
Also, being a test site for the Smarter
Balance tests allowed the district to see how
students interacted with them, she added.
Moving forward with cautious optimism
with the transition is Wus approach to the
shift.
Esselstein noted that
the district changed the
middle school schedule to
build in Common Core
planning time for teach-
ers. She did say that there
will be a high quantity of
technology devices need-
ed for the change.
In terms of the dis-
tricts balance of using
technology in the class-
room, Wu said overall the
use is good when its used
in the right setting, at
the right time.
My basic philosophy
is technology is a tool
and part of what we do for
critical thinking,
Esselstein said, who said
she represents the
boards institutional
memory. More technol-
ogy is coming and were
building up our Wi-Fi
infrastructure. Its not
effective if you dont
have good teaching; oth-
erwise its not a good use
of money.
Keeping pace with
technology and consid-
ering device replacement
costs is something to
consider, Hardy said.
Geddis, who has a
Ph.D. in computer sci-
ence, said it needs to be
considered whether the
technology serves the
schools needs or not, but
that the district has been
doing a good job using
technology in the class-
room. He also stressed the need for profes-
sional development to use SMART Boards
and other technology correctly.
Praise for the districts work
When the issue of the capital apprecia-
tion bonds took the table, all candidates
were in support of how the district used the
funds. Back in July, a civil grand jury
reported that capital appreciation bonds
used by 13 San Mateo County school dis-
tricts are expensive ticking time bombs
that will drain future taxpayers.
They were a great tool for us at the time,
Esselstein said. The property tax was in
ux. There was misinformation in the grand
jury report that could have been corrected if
they approached us. The board was very
conscientious about the program.
When Wu rst read the news, she said she
was ambivalent, but then went to a board
meeting and felt reassured.
Were ahead of the game, Wu said. In
the last 11 years theres been new build-
ings, learning spaces have been renovated
and the district has been exercising scal
responsibility. The lesson learned is you do
not want to plunge in for short-term gains.
The district had the number one Academic
Performance Index ranking in the state for
K-8 schools this year, Esselstein said. To
continue the success of the district, Hardy
said the districts current strategic planning
process will be helpful in deciding on what
curriculum should be the focus.
Esselstein said shed like to see students
do more writing, while Geddis said his main
priority would be making sure students are
motivated and excited about going to
school.
An expansion of the world language pro-
gram is one of Wus priorities as well.

Candidates focused on new curriculum and keeping standards high
Convicted rapist
representing self guilty in robbery
Aconvicted rapist who represented him-
self against charges he robbed a South San
Francisco office worker
was convicted after only
two hours of jury delib-
erations of that crime
plus kidnapping.
Tony Alfonso
Johnson, 52, was also
found to have prior con-
victions. Another count
of assault with a firearm
was dismissed for insuf-
ficient evidence.
Johnson, 52, was linked to the Dec. 6,
2007 robbery by DNA on a bandanna left
at the scene that he allegedly used to hide
his face and wipe away fingerprints from
the furniture. Johnson was reportedly
seeking computer laptops at the South San
Francisco office but fled with credit cards
instead.
The victims identification and
Johnsons DNA profile from the sweaty
bandanna linked him to the crime after he
was arrested in Solano County for gun pos-
session. After his conviction in that case,
he returned to San Mateo County where he
stood trial as a third-striker.
In 1985, a jury convicted Johnson of
sexually assaulting a woman in Pacifica in
June 1984. The crime brought him 30
years in prison and made news because he
was found to have committed great bodily
injury against the woman by passing on a
sexually transmitted disease. In the middle
of 2007, Johnson was paroled back to San
Mateo County.
Johnson acted as his own attorney dur-
ing the recent trial but is now considering
hiring or requesting a court-appointed
attorney for sentencing. He returns to
court Sept. 11 to set a sentencing date and
remains in custody.

MOSCOW Syria on Monday quickly
welcomed a call from Russia, its close ally,
to place Syrian chemical arsenals under
international control, then destroy them to
avert a U.S. strike, but did not offer a time
frame or any other specics.
The statement by Syrian Foreign Minister
Walid al-Moallem appeared to mean that
diplomatic efforts to end Syrias 2 1/2-year
civil war were gaining momentum. But it
remained to be seen whether it represented a
genuine goodwill gesture by Syria or sim-
ply an attempt by Syrian President Bashar
Assad to buy more time to prepare for a U.S.
military attack.
Syria welcomes the Russian proposal out
of concern for the lives of the Syrian peo-
ple, the security of our country and because
it believes in the wisdom of the Russian
leadership that seeks to avert American
aggression against our people, al-Moallem
said during a visit to Moscow, where he held
talks with his Russian counterpart, Sergey
Lavrov.
However, al-Moallem, would not give any
further details in his brief statement and did-
nt take any questions from reporters.
Russias proposal confirmed for the first
time from Syrias most important interna-
tional ally that the Syrian government
possesses chemical weapons, and al-
Moallems welcome was a tacit acknowl-
edgment. Syrias Foreign Ministry last
year retracted a threat to use chemical
weapons, saying it was not acknowledging
that it had them.
Moallems statement came a few hours
after U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said
Assad could resolve the crisis surrounding
the alleged use of chemical weapons by his
forces by surrendering control of every
single bit of his arsenal to the internation-
al community by the end of the week.

WASHINGTON Battling stiff resistance
in Congress, President Barack Obama con-
ceded Monday night he might lose his ght
for congressional support of a military
strike against Syria, and declined to say
what he would do if lawmakers reject his call
to back retaliation for a chemical weapons
attack last month.
The president made his comments as a
glimmer of a possible diplomatic solution
appeared after months of deance from the
Russian-backed government of President
Bashar Assad in Syria. In a rapid response,
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid cited
international discussions in unexpectedly
postponing a test vote originally set for
Wednesday on Obamas call for legislation
backing a military strike.
In a series of six network interviews
planned as part of a furious lobbying cam-
paign in Congress, Obama said statements
suggesting that Syria might agree to surren-
der control of its chemical weapons stock-
pile were a potentially positive develop-
ment.
At the same time, he said they were yet
another reason for lawmakers to give him
the backing he is seeking.
If we dont maintain and move forward
with a credible threat of military pressure, I
do not think we will actually get the kind of
agreement I would like to
see, he said on CNN.
In a separate interview
with NBC, the president
took the step unusual
for any politician of
conceding he may lose
his campaign in
Congress for legislation
authorizing a military
strike. I wouldnt say
Im condent of the out-
come, he said.
I think its fair to say that I havent
decided on a next step if Congress turns its
back, the president told NBC, part of a furi-
ous lobbying campaign aimed at winning
support from dubious lawmakers as well as a
war-weary public.
The president picked up a smattering of
support but also suffered a reversal when
Sen. Johnny Isakson, a Georgia
Republican, announced he had switched
from a backer of military action to an oppo-
nent.
Theyre in tough shape. It is getting
late, said Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., after he
and other lawmakers emerged from a closed-
door meeting with administration ofcials.
The New York Republican favors the legisla-
tion that Obama wants, but he said the pres-
ident didnt need to seek it and now must
show that a strike is in Americas national
security interest.

OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
Presidents decision
Editor,
America stands on the precipice of
going to war in Syria. The commander in
chief will address the nation tonight.
Congress debates, the U.N. confers and
the folks worry. Our troops deployed
around the world, including thousands at
battle stations in the Mediterranean, will
be ready for whatever orders the president
issues. Our forces are prepared to engage
the enemy from ships hundreds of miles
away, from screaming aircraft or look
them directly in the eye, if necessary. Our
military will carry out the presidents
orders effectively and may have to sacri-
fice their lives in the process. How fortu-
nate we are to have the finest military in
the world.
As we pray for President Obama to
receive divine guidance, let us also
remember the 100,000+ souls at the
Golden Gate National Cemetery, located
near Interstate 280 in San Bruno, who sac-
rificed their lives for their country. Many
were killed in battle. Many more suffered
horrendous injuries in combat. What an
honor to care for the spirits of those
American heroes. Those beautiful, gentle
rolling hills of that sacred ground is not
only a place to honor those servicemen
and women, it is a reminder to all of us to
make sure that we remain worthy of their
sacrifice.
Ethan E. Jones

House of fools
Editor,
There are no rules in war. Wars are
fought between those who have power,
and those who seek power. If there were
rules in war they could only be enforced
by military action of a more powerful mil-
itary. Al-Qaidas plan was announced by
its leaders Ayman Al-Zawahiri, and Osama
bin Laden years ago. That plan was, and
still is to slowly take over power in other
Middle East countries, and then make a
final move on Israel. Our congressional
representatives dont see this because of
their ignorance or the night life around
Georgetown is too good to miss out on.
They all deserve a B.S. degree, and I dont
mean the type you get in science, I mean
the other kind.
Al-Qaida supporters sent a subtle hint of
their intentions with the killing of
Ambassador Stevens in Benghazi, Libya
on Sept. 11 a year ago. In the end, I am
sure it will come out years from now that
an attack on Syria was not done for
humanitarian reasons, but rather for a
political one instead.

Syria war poll
Editor,
As of Sept. 5, 2013, the results of the
Daily Journals online poll, Do you sup-
port military action in Syria? shows that
44 percent said no to war and 13 percent
said that they did support another war.
The question should now be: Will U.S.
Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, listen to
her constituents and vote no to war, or
will she vote with the San Francisco war
criminal, progressive Democrats for yet
another illegal war of aggression?
Frank Scafani

What about Syria?
Editor,
Im a peaceful activist who believes we
must significantly disable Syrias mili-
tary. Poison gassing is an atrocity, on top
of 100,000 other horrible atrocities, that
must receive severe consequences.
Without consequences, no standards
against abhorrent behavior can be upheld.
Objectors say, Why should we be police-
man to the world? The answer is we are
the most powerful country that also stands
for principles of human rights and justice.
True, we sometimes give only lip serv-
ice to these ideals while pursuing selfish
national or corporate interests, but, the
other powerful countries dont even pre-
tend to uphold these ideals. Theyd let
people kill each other, so long as they
can buy resources and sell their products.
If we dont act, who will? Objectors say,
Why go to war now when we did nothing
while 100,000 civilians have been killed
already?
The answer is that weve no clear thresh-
old beyond which condemnation and reac-
tion are called for. Should the world have
reacted after 100,000 murders? or 50,000?
or 1,000? or 50? How many people must
die to call this an atrocity? We dont
know. But we do know that use of poison
gas, biological or nuclear weapons is an
atrocity, and now, that line has been
crossed.
How can peace-loving people condone
war? When negotiation and diplomacy
fail, then one must push back when con-
fronted by a bully. Diplomacy only works
when all parties actually want to find a
resolution. In the case of Syria, the tyrant
Assad wants only to eliminate his opposi-
t i on.

Transparency
Editor,
This letter is regarding Sue Lemperts
Sept. 9 column Areal contest in San
Mateo.
Mrs. Lempert. No audit. Shame on you
Sue. Transparency is what the citizens
want. Not lobbyists or special interest
groups using their influence to circumvent
the process. There were to many questions
during the 7-Eleven debacle that staff and
planners could not answer, partly because
there was no file for the 501 North San
Mateo Drive Project (Hard to believe) and
a developer whose end-around efforts and
tactics caused our group and the city to
spend money, not our problem.
The residents provided emails to city
representatives and we were assured by the
city that everyone would be contacted
prior to permits being issued, unfortunate-
ly it was already a done deal and a cyclone
fence around the property with Big Gulps
Coming Soon as our notice. Mrs.
Lempert, as you know, this is not the first
time the city of San Mateo has spent
money foolishly transit center, old
police station property, Kinkos property.

Ross have our vote for transparency.

Housing prices
Editor,
I have decided to write to you regarding
Angela Swartzs article Middle-income
grapple with housing prices in San Mateo
County in the Aug. 20 edition of the Daily
Journal.
I can really relate to Lanelle Durans sce-
nario (The woman that was chronicled for
her situation in this article). I fully agree
with her that housing prices are criminal.
Like Duran, I was born and raised here. I
am currently renting a one bedroom apart-
ment where the rent was raised $200 a
month upon my arrival. The previous ten-
ant was paying $200 less. The apartment
had nothing done
to it. The previous tenant was there for a
year and a half. There was no new carpet-
ing, paint or xtures; nothing was updated.
The place was built in the 1950s and has
the same 1950s decor to match. I dont
understand the sheer greediness of land-
lords or property owners that do not put
any effort to, at the very least, providing
new carpets, paint, etc. to semi-justify the
$200 rent increase. The owner saw an
advertisement on Craigslist for a place
across the street that was getting $200
more per month, and BOOM its a done
deal. I am a single person with no kids or
pets really a landlords dream. When will
the renters of this insane market ever catch
a break? I suppose that I am one of many
on a long list ... still waiting.

Whats on tape
N
early everyone has their personal
signal for the changing of the sea-
son. Perhaps it is the way leaves
shift from vibrant greens into Halloween-
worthy oranges and rustic browns or the
crunching sound of them underfoot during a
walk down the street. Maybe its the last-
minute decision to grab a sweater while
heading out the door, just in case the weath-
er unexpectedly turns. The boxing up of the
standing fan even or the decision to forgo a
pedicure one more week because boot-clad
toes dont see much of the world both
might be the moment when somebody
knows summer is getting ready to say adios
and time that
once sprung for-
ward is soon
ready to fall back.
For me, the
noticeable indica-
tor is tape. Good
ol regular clear,
sticky tape.
Do you now
what day it is?
asked the sports
editor (you may
recognize him as
The Sports
Lounge).
I drew a mental blank before rapid-re
shooting out possibilities for which hed
make a point to tell me. I didnt think
something like a shoe sale or National
Pancake Day would necessarily register on
his radar or drive him to share with the
group.
Dove hunting? An arcane bit of baseball
history? Time to write the weekly column?
His daughters return to school? Some sort
of newsroom anniversary? Did Nick the
production guy bring in doughnuts for a
second day in a row? Maybe a new trivia
calendar arrived?
Wait I know! The answer came to me
in a ash. Its tape day!
Tape day is otherwise known as the start
of football season. I frankly pay little other
than passing attention to football except
for the fact that between the September start
and December nish, my tape dispenser
beckons over the head of the sports desk so
he can tack down his score sheet to a clip-
board.
Why dont you just get your own tape? I
once asked.
Dont need it that often, came the reply.
Well then take mine. Its not like I use it
much either, I offered.
The never-ending sea of governmental
reports and agendas clogging my desk make
me more of a paper clip and wide binder clip
kind of gal.
But then I wouldnt have any excuse to
come visit, he would wisecrack.
So true. You are so far away, I responded
with my own dose of sarcasm.
Disclaimer: In the editorial department, I
sit closest to the sports guys within a
stones throw (or at least a wad of notebook
paper) if I had even a smidge of athletic
ability. Maybe I should actually try lob-
bing the tape dispenser although chances
are good Id end up breaking a computer
screen, hitting the advertising guy sitting
behind my target or drop it on my foot.
When the ritual rst started, oh so many
football seasons ago, the now-annual
exchange came as a humble request. Hey,
can I borrow some tape?
And without fail Id reply something
along the lines of: Well, you can have it. I
dont really want it back when youre done.
Now, there is simply the announcement
of tape season if that followed by two
steps to my desk to pull off a length of
sticky stuff beyond the half-inch covered in
dust from sitting idle the past year. I guess
at this point you could say we have dis-
pensed with the formalities.

Big movers
By Joshua Freed
The stock market got a boost on
Monday from mergers, homes, and
phones.
Stocks posted their biggest gains in
almost two months. Two big deals sug-
gested growing condence in the econo-
my: Luxury retailer Neiman Marcus was
sold for $6 billion, and Koch Industries
bought electronics component maker
Molex for $7.2 billion.
Homebuilding stocks were some of
the biggest gainers in the Standard &
Poors 500 index after Hovnavian
Enterprises said home prices are rising
and its backlog jumped almost 27 per-
cent from a year earlier.
Hovnanian rose 11 cents, or 2.2 per-
cent, to close at $5.15. PulteGroup,
D.R. Horton and Lennar also gained.
Homebuilder MDC Holdings rose
$1.72, or 6.2 percent, to $29.37 after
an upgrade from a Citi analyst.
Homebuilding stocks have had a
volatile year. Investors have been bull-
ish because the housing market is recov-
ering, but worried that rising interest
rates make mortgages more expensive
for home buyers.
Apple rose. Its expected to announce
a new iPhone on Tuesday.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose
140.62 points, or 1 percent, to
15,063.12. The Dow hit an all-time
high of 15,658 on Aug. 2. But worries
about Syria and rising interest rates
pushed stocks down since then. The last
time the Dow closed above 15,000 was
Aug. 23.
The S&P 500 index rose 16.54
points, or 1 percent, to 1,671.71. The
Nasdaq composite rose 46.17 points, or
1.3 percent, to 3,706.18. Both the Dow
and the S&P 500 had their biggest daily
gains since July 11.
All 10 industry groups in the S&P500
rose. The index rose for the fth day in a
row, the longest since eight days of
gains in July.
Two things about the Koch-Molex
deal grabbed investors attention: Its
components show up in a wide variety
of products, including housing and
autos, so Kochs interest suggests that
it sees broad economic improvement.
Also, Koch is paying a large premium
for Molex.
Koch is paying $38.50 per share, 31
percent over Molexs stock price on
Friday. Molex soared $9.29, or almost
32 percent, to $38.63 on Monday.
I think its really exciting for just
about everybody to see that big of a deal
go through, said Kim Forrest, senior
analyst with portfolio management rm
Fort Pitt Capital Group in Pittsburgh.
Apple rose back above $500 per
share. It last closed above that level on
Aug. 26. Apple gained $7.95, or 1.6
percent, to $506.17 on Monday in
advance of an expected iPhone
announcement on Tuesday.
Delta Air Lines jumped $1.87, or 9.4
percent, to $21.76 after news that it
would be added to the S&P 500 index.
That benets Delta because mutual funds
and other investors that track the S&P
500 will now have to buy Deltas stock.
JPMorgan analyst Jamie Baker estimat-
ed that inclusion in the index will add
demand for almost 89 million Delta
shares.
Stocks in Asia rose lifted by Tokyos
win for the 2020 Summer Olympics,
Chinese export growth and an election
victory by Australias conservative
coalition.
The coalition supports repealing a 30
percent tax on coal and iron ore miners
prots, which could help mining and
other raw material companies.
Caterpillar, which makes mining gear
used in China and Australia, rose $2.20,
or 2.6 percent, to $85.59, and mining
company Cliffs Natural Resources was
up $1.33, or 6.1 percent, to $23.18.
The positive news out of the Asia-
Pacic region helped outweigh worries
about rising interest rates and Syria,
said Doug Cote, chief market strategist
at ING U.S. Investment Management.
The risk of taking action seems too
great for them to act, he said. Im
watching it daily, but Im certainly not
worried about it.
In U.S. government bond trading, the
yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to
2.92 percent from 2.94 percent late
Friday.
Stocks rise on mergers, homebuilder outlook
By Martin Crutsinger
WASHINGTON Americans cut
back on using their credit cards in July
for the second straight month, while
taking on more debt to buy cars and
attend school. The decline in credit
card use suggests consumers remain
cautious, a trend that could hold back
economic growth.
Consumers increased their borrow-
ing $10.4 billion in July from June to
a record high of $2.85 trillion, the
Federal Reserve said Monday. That
followed a gain of $11.9 billion in
June.
A category that includes auto loans
and student loans increased $12.3 bil-
lion in July to a record $2 trillion. But
a measure consumers credit card debt
fell $1.8 billion to roughly $850 bil-
lion. That followed an even larger
$3.7 billion decline in the credit card
category in June.
Julys pattern of consumers borrow-
ing habits illustrated trends that have
surfaced in the post-recession econo-
my: Americans are using credit for
their most urgent needs, while forgo-
ing debt for discretionary purchases.
The auto and student loan category
is up 8.1 percent from a year ago and
has risen in every month but one since
May 2010. But credit card debt has
barely changed in the past year and is
nearly 17 percent below its peak hit in
July 2008 seven months after the
Great Recession began.
Slow but steady job growth and
small wage gains have made many
Americans more reluctant to charge
goods and services to their plastic.
That could hold back consumer spend-
ing, which accounts for 70 percent of
economic activity. Americans may
also be hesitant to take on more high-
interest debt because of higher Social
Security taxes.
At the same time, the weak economy
is sending more people back to
school. The Federal Reserves con-
sumer credit report does not separate
student loans and auto loans. But the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York
quarterly report on consumer credit
shows student loan debt has been the
biggest driver of borrowing since the
Great Recession officially ended in
June 2009.
Consumer borrowing rises $10.4B in July
By Michael Liedtke
SAN FRANCISCO Apple is
expected to unveil its latest take on
the iPhone Tuesday during an annual
ritual that will probably cast a spot-
light on the gadget makers drive to
regain market share and its sluggish
pace of innovation.
In keeping with its tight-lipped
ways, Apple Inc. hasnt disclosed
whats on the agenda for the coming-
out party scheduled to begin at 10 a.m.
PDT at its Cupertino headquarters.
But this is the time of year that
Apple typically shows off the latest
generation of its iPhone, a device that
has reshaped the way people use com-
puters since its debut in 2007. Apple
took the wraps off the iPhone 5, the
current model, last September. The
company has never waited longer than
a year to update the iPhone, which has
generated $88 billion in revenue dur-
ing the past year.
Apples timetable for rolling out
products has vexed many investors
who have watched the companys
growth slow and profit margi ns
decrease. Meanwhile, a bevy of smart-
phone makers, most of whom rely on
Google Inc.s free Android software,
release wave after wave of devices that
cost less than the iPhone. Those con-
cerns are reected in Apples stock
price, which has declined nearly 30
percent since peaking at $705.07 at
about the same time the iPhone 5 went
on sale last year. The Standard &
Poors 500 index has risen about 14
percent during the same stretch.
Even though Apples market value
of roughly $460 billion is more than
any other company in the world, the
deterioration in its stock price is esca-
lating the pressure on CEO Tim Cook
to prove hes the right leader to carry
on the legacy of co-founder Steve
Jobs.
Apple expected to expand selection of iPhones
DETROIT Toyota is recalling
880,584 RAV4 SUVs and Lexus HS
250h sedans in the U.S. and Canada
because a repair announced last year
may not have solved a safety problem.
RAV4s from the 2006 through 2011
model years and the Lexus HS250h
from the 2010 model year are involved
in the recall.
Toyota says if rear suspension nuts
arent tightened properly after a wheel
alignment, the rear lower suspension
arm can rust and separate from the
vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
At least nine crashes and three
injuries related to the problem have
been reported, according to the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration. At least 131 owners
have complained about the issue to
NHTSAand Toyota.
Toyota recalled the vehicles last
August for the same issue, but spokes-
woman Cindy Knight said the repair pro-
cedure in the previous recall was incor-
rect. Knight didnt know if Toyota sent
out the wrong instructions or if techni-
cians at its dealerships didnt follow the
correct procedures. She said technicians
are receiving additional training.
Toyota is recalling 780,584 vehi-
cles in the U.S. and 100,000 in
Canada. Owners will be notied over a
six-month period starting this month.
Toyota technicians will inspect the
vehicles and replace suspension arms
which are loose or rusted for free.

Judge: Abercrombie
wrongly fired Muslim for hijab
SAN FRANCISCO Afederal judge in San Francisco
has ruled that trendy clothing retailer Abercrombie &
Fitch wrongly red a Muslim worker who insisted on
wearing a head scarf.
U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers said the
company violated anti-discrimination laws when it red
Hani Khan from its Hollister store in San Mateo, in
2010. Rogers issued the ruling on Tuesday.
The company claimed the head scarf violated its poli-
cy governing the look of its employees, which it said
was part of its marketing strategy. The store argued that
deviating from its look policy would affect sales.
But the judge said Abercrombie & Fitch offered no
credible evidence that Khans head scarf cost the com-
pany any sales.
Abercrombie only offers unsubstantiated opinion
testimony of its own employees to support its claim of
undue hardship, Rogers said.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
led a lawsuit on Khans behalf in 2011.
Abercrombie & Fitch does not discriminate based on
religion and we grant religious accommodations when
reasonable, spokesman Bruce MacKenzie said. It is
our policy not to comment on pending litigation.
Atrial on the companys liability is scheduled for later
this month. The judge said the jury is free to award puni-
tive damages if it chooses.
Its the latest employment discrimination charge
against the companys so-called look policy, which
critics say means images of mostly white, young, ath-
letic-looking people. The New Albany, Ohio-based com-
pany has said it does not tolerate discrimination.

T
he best thing about the Internet,
you can nd out almost anything
you need to know at least as it
pertains to sports.
Blogs, message boards, social media,
Web-only sport sites have revolutionized
how sports information can be distributed
and accrued.
But I had to do a double take Monday
morning when I looked up Menlo Schools
football result against San Angelo Central
High School in Texas.
Originally, the nal score was listed San
Angelo 84-63 winners over the Knights,
later amended to 84-
49.
That couldnt be
right, I thought.
After putting in a
call in to the Menlo
coach to verify the
score, I started an
Internet search and I
came across the
game story from the
San Angelo Standard
Times and it veried
it: San Angelo,
indeed, had hung 84
points on the
Knights.
Even more eye-popping: the Bobcats
scored 50 points in the rst quarter alone,
including scoring a pair of their 11 touch-
downs about three minutes into the game.
San Angelo racked up more than 600
yards of offense for the second consecutive
game and broke a school record for most
points scored. The Bobcats scored 71
points in the season opener.
If not for a pair of early turnovers, Menlo
might have made the score a lot closer.

NEWYORK Hard to believe this is the
same Rafael Nadal who was home during the
U.S. Open a year ago, nursing a bad left
knee.
Hard to believe this is the guy sent pack-
ing in the rst round of
Wimbledon in June, los-
ing against someone
ranked 135th.
Looking t as can be
and maybe even better
than ever, the No. 2-
ranked Nadal pulled away
from No. 1 Novak
Djokovic 6-2, 3-6, 6-4,
6-1 on Monday in a taut,
tense U.S. Open nal for
his 13th Grand Slam title.
Very, very emotional, no? Nadal said
during the on-court trophy presentation.
Probably only my team knows how much
(this) means for me.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Hillsdale High School head football
coach Mike Parodi and his starting quarter-
back, senior Cole Carrithers, have come a
long way.
Areally long way actually.
We joke about it now,
Parodi said. We were
probably the only head
coach and quarterback
who were high-fiving
after an interception last
season.
And while that might
not be funny to many
other football minds, such has been the
maturation of the now senior signal-caller.
When Carrithers took over the role last sea-
son, it wasnt a mystery that he needed a lit-
tle seasoning and thus, there was no bet-
ter way for the quarterback to grow than to
be thrown right into the re.
I think he needed the experience, Parodi
said. He needed to get used to that speed and
that level of competition and just, the
constant repetition, me in his ear, watching
lm.
The year was rough at times, despite
Carrithers All-League performance. There
was denitely some getting used to his rst
varsity season, Parodi said. It took him a
while to get used to the speed and under-
standing what we were trying to do offen-
sively. He learned the hard way sometimes
about making mistakes. After an intercep-
tion, I made him tell me what he saw and
why he saw it. And then we talked about
what was wrong. We high-ved and said
lets not do that ever again.
Fast-forward an off-season and Carrithers
seems more willing to high-ve his coach
after a touchdown instead of an interception
in 2013.
With Week 1 in the books, Carrithers
fueled the Knights offense in a 31-28 upset
win over the PAL Oceans Half Moon Bay.
Carrithers threw for 196 yards and three
touchdowns while completing nearly 61
percent of his passes and hooking up with
three different receivers in those TDs.
For his efforts, Carrithers is the Daily
Journal Athlete of the Week.
It was a great win for us for so many rea-
sons, Parodi said. Just, to start the year 1-
0, to go over the hill to Half Moon Bay to a
perennially outstanding program and get a
win in Half Moon Bay was awesome. It was
a great feeling for our kids for sure.
And probably an even better one for

If youre going to go to the face, come with some knuckles, not an open slap.
I think if that young man works very hard on being a tough guy, hell have some
repairing to do to his image after the slap.
49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh
Harbaugh aims at Matthews
REUTERS
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRES
SANTACLARA Jim Harbaugh offered
a parting shot at Packers linebacker Clay
Matthews: Slapping is not the tough-guy
way.
Harbaugh said Monday that Matthews
threw one punch and slapped 49ers left
tackle Joe Staley when they tussled fol-
lowing Matthews late hit on quarterback
Colin Kaepernick in the second quarter of
San Franciscos 34-28 season-opening
win against Green Bay on Sunday.
If youre going to go to the face, come
with some knuckles, not an open slap,
Harbaugh said. I think if that young man
works very hard on being a tough guy,
hell have some repairing to do to his
image after the slap.
Matthews promised leading up to the
game that Green Bay
would target
Kaepernick after he ran
for a quarterback-record
181 yards to beat the
Packers in the playoffs
eight months ago, and
Matthews did just that.
On the play, he threw
his right arm around the lower part of
Kaepernicks neck.
Like I said last week, usually a man
will tell you his bad intentions if you just
listen. That certainly was a cheap shot,
launching, clotheslining to the neck-
head area, Harbaugh said. Bad play.
While Matthews was agged for a late
hit, Staley received an unsportsmanlike
conduct penalty that Harbaugh didnt
think was right.
Staley immediately came to
Kaepernicks defense on the play. The
penalties were offset and the 49ers scored
on the next play, which ofcials later said
should have been fourth down rather than
a repeated third down.
The NFL said Monday that a review
showed Staley should not have been
penalized.

Belt gets walk-off hit
SAN FRANCISCO Brandon Belts RBI
single with one out in the bottom of the
10th inning gave the San Francisco Giants
a 3-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies on
Monday night, their second straight
walkoff win.
The defending World Series champions,
however, were eliminated from contention
in the NL West earlier in the evening when
the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Arizona
Diamondbacks.
Angel Pagan hit a one-out single off
reliever Adam Ottavino (1-3) and took third
on Marco Scutaros single. Belt, who dou-
bled in the tying run in the eighth, hit a 1-2
pitch over the head of left elder Charlie
Culberson for his second game-ending hit
this season.
D.J. LeMahieu singled and doubled to
extend his career-high hitting streak to 11
games, and Nolan Arenado scored from sec-
ond base on an ineld groundout for the
Rockies.
Buster Posey hit his 15th home run of the
season for San Francisco, which was kept in
check offensively most of the game by
Colorado starter Jhoulys Chacin.
Chacin struck out ve and walked one over
seven innings, lowering his ERA in 12
starts on the road to 2.10. The right-hander
retired 16 of the nal 18 he faced and left
with a 2-1 lead.
Colorados bullpen couldnt make it hold
up.
Pagan reached on a one-out ineld single
off Matt Belisle and took second when
Arenados throw from third sailed past rst
base for an error. After Scutaros groundout
moved Pagan to third, Belt doubled to right
to drive in Pagan with the tying run.
The Giants are still on the brink of being
eliminated from playoff contention alto-
gether with one more loss.
They were on the verge of that before Belt
led the comeback after a pitchers duel
between Chacin and San Franciscos Tim
Lincecum.
Lincecum allowed two runs over eight
innings but was denied a chance at his fourth
consecutive win.

SAN FRANCISCO NFL opening day
excitement was tarnished with the death of
one fan who fell from a pedestrian overpass
outside the big game in San Francisco, and
injuries to two others from falls inside the
Indianapolis stadium.
Early indications suggest 32-year-old
Kevin Hayes of Hayward fell accidentally,
San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr said.
Alcohol may or may not have played a
role to some varying degree, but right now,
it looks like a very sad, tragic accident,
Suhr said.
Hayes fell while walking with his brother
on a bridge over four lanes of trafc outside
the stadium, police said. Off-duty medics and
police ofcers gave him rst aid until an
ambulance arrived, but authorities said he
was declared dead from his injuries.
We would like to express our deepest con-
dolences to the family during this difcult
time, 49ers spokesman Bob Lange said in
an email.
The death came just after kickoff in what
was eventually San Franciscos 34-28 win
over Green Bay. Multiple witnesses reported
that Hayes appeared to be intoxicated and
having trouble walking before he fell over
the rail to a sidewalk below.
It certainly marred what otherwise a very
happy day for fans who know this is the last
opening game we will see in Candlestick,
San Francisco Mayor Lee said.
Also Sunday, a railing collapsed at the
Colts game against the Raiders in
Indianapolis, injuring two unidentied fans
who were leaning against the barrier above a
tunnel leading to Oaklands locker room.
One person was taken away on a stretcher,
while another left in a wheelchair, witness-
es said.
After the Colts 21-17 victory, Barney
Levengood, executive director of the
Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil
Stadium, issued a statement that said one of
the people was released after receiving med-
ical attention at the stadium. The other per-
son was treated at the stadium and transport-
ed to Methodist Hospital for additional eval-
uation. Levengood said the second fan did
not appear to be seriously injured.
Fan Dalton Tinklenberg of Kokomo.,
Ind., told The Indianapolis Star on Monday
the railing that collapsed appeared to be
wobbly. Stadium ofcials did not immedi-
ately return phone messages and emails
from The Associated Press seeking com-
ment.
Witnesses who saw the incident said the
two fans were leaning against the railing
and fell from the top of the tunnel onto the
hard walkway used by Raiders players and
coaches to reach the locker room.
Since 2003, there have been more than
two dozen serious cases of fans falling at
stadiums across the United States, according
to the Institute for the Study of Sports
Incidents.
That includes a 2007 fatality at
Candlestick Park when a fan in the conces-
sion area misjudged a jump up to sit on a
wall and fell instead from the upper con-
course to the mezzanine level, said Alana
Penza, director of the institute, which is part
of the National Center for Spectator Sports
Safety and Security, based at the University
of Southern Mississippi.
Sometimes a venue will say this was an
accident, but other times they might decide
to make adjustments, said Penza.
Historic Candlestick Park closes after this
season and will be replaced by a shopping
center.

After reviewing the play, Vice President
of Ofciating Dean Blandino determined
that Joe Staley should not have been penal-
ized, spokesman Randall Liu said in an
email. It should have been rst-and-goal
for the 49ers from the Green Bay 3-yard
line.
Thats what I saw, Harbaugh said.
Harbaugh praised referee Bill Leavy and
his crew, and said San Francisco would have
gone for it on fourth down anyway.
First of all, it never should have been
offsetting penalties, in my opinion,
Harbaugh said. All in all, theres a lot of
things going on in that stretch. The other
one was the entire Packers bench cleared,
practice squad players, coaches. Members
of the Green Bay Packers are all out of their
bench area down along the goal line. There
was no repercussion for that as well.
While Staley said after the game he needs
to control his emotions, he insists he will
defend his quarterback in a case like that.
Harbaugh said its rather simple when
coaching a situation like that.
When guys are going at each other after
the whistle, and looking to push and shove
people, just lock up, protect yourself, he
said. Not going to back down from it,
were not going to get pushed all around
after the whistle when its not being called,
when the rst offense is not being called.
You have to have a plan. For us, its not to
go pushing and throwing punches, its to
lock up and protect yourself. And Joe did
that about as well as you could do it. If you
call somebody for that then youre going to
have 30 ags, 30 times. Thats happening
all the time in our league after the whistle.
Also Sunday, Harbaugh had to change his
game-day attire at halftime from Reebok to
Nike. He said he could be subject to a ne.
That was a mistake, grabbed the wrong
one, Harbaugh said. It was an honest mis-
take, there was no malice intended. It wont
happen again.

HIT
SANTA CLARA Anquan
Boldin sprinted off the eld for the
locker room following a memo-
rable 49ers debut, then insisted
afterward thats just how he rolls.
He gets paid to catch footballs,
and he approaches each game as a
job from the moment he steps
onto the eld to the way he exits
the turf a few hours later with a
little bit of fun mixed in, of
course. On Sunday, he scurried
away before the game clock had
even ticked down to 0:00.
Thats just how I am, Boldin
said. I dont go out for the coin
toss, I go to the locker room. For
me, this is a business. I come out
here to do a job, and, hopefully, I
do my job well.
Nobody will question what he
says or does after the performance
he put on with 13 receptions for
208 yards to lead San Francisco
past the Green Bay Packers 34-28
in a wild season opener between
NFC powers.
He went out there and played
like a grown man, said quarter-
back Colin Kaepernick, who threw
for a career-high 412 yards.
Coach Jim Harbaugh saw no
need to call big brother, John, and
thank him for trading the star
wideout from Super Bowl champi-
on Baltimore to the West Coast.
Harbaugh has done so many times
already in recent months.
You talk about the analogy of
the salesmen out there who sell
their product, they meet their
quota, Harbaugh said Monday.
And then theres other salesmen
who meet their quota and also
coach up other salesmen on how
to meet their quota. Its a multiply-
ing effect that guys like that have
... Anquan Boldin is one of those
types of guys.
Boldin nished one catch shy of
his career high, set in his rookie
season with Arizona 10 years ago.
His 208 yards receiving were sixth
most in an NFL season opener
and he also has the second most
with 217 yards on 10 catches in
that September 2003 debut against
Detroit.
I guess this is a debut game in
the NFC West, huh? he said.
Now, Boldin is a few weeks from
his 33rd birthday and beginning
his 11th season for a third team
looking as fresh as ever.

ALAMEDA Oakland Raiders
coach Dennis Allen doesnt need
to play any games about who his
starting quarterback will be this
week.
Terrelle Pryor answered those
questions in the season opener
with his game-breaking running
ability and vastly improved pass-
ing that almost helped Oakland
pull off a shocker before losing
21-17 at Indianapolis.
After refusing to announce his
starter last week for competitive
reasons, Allen is all in with the
dual-threat quarterback heading
into Sundays home opener
against Jacksonville. Pryor spent
most of training camp working
with the backups while Matt Flynn
ran with the rst team.
Pryor is going to start for us,
Allen said Monday.
For good reason.
Pryor completed 19 of 29 passes
for 217 yards and a touchdown and
set a Raiders franchise record for
rushing by a quarterback with 112
yards on 13 carries. Pryor became
the eighth quarterback since the
1970 merger to throw for at least
200 yards and run for at least 100
in a single game.
Thats the element that he
brings to the game, Allen said.
So, thats always going to be
there, his ability to create, his
ability to make things happen
with his feet. The thing that we
judge on the practice eld is his
ability to make good decisions,
his ability to throw the ball on
time, with accuracy. Those are
things that we want to see that he
continues to improve because
thats whats going to make him a
really good quarterback, is if he
continues to improve in those
areas.
There are areas in the passing
game that Pryor needs to work on
still and he is quick to acknowl-
edge them.

also scored two more on the ground.
Jack Marren caught three scoring passes
and nished with seven catches for 95

Pete Bouret nished with seven receptions
for 118 yards.

Menlos wild and wooly game just
brought some extra excitement to a good
weekend of football from the teams of the
Peninsula Athletic League.
The 18-team PAL went a combined 11-6
in opening-weekend action. Throw out the
two games that matched two PAL teams
together Aragons 50-0 over Jefferson
and Hillsdales 31-28 win over Half Moon
Bay and the record is still a very
respectable 9-4 against outside competi-
tion.
The Lake Division, considered to be the
weakest division in the Peninsula Athletic
League, had the best opening weekend of
the three divisions, going a combined 4-1
(Kings Academy had a bye). As it has been
the case the last couple of years, the race
for the Lake Division title could be the
best in the PAL.
Hillsdale had the most impressive win,
taking down Ocean Division squad Half
Moon Bay, but Mills may have opened
some eyes with a 53-point explosion in a
win over Harbor. Carlmont opened the
Marcus Farhad era with a 17-6 victory over
Yerba Buena and El Camino took down
Washington-San Francisco, 28-7.
The lone Lake Division loss was
Jefferson, which, despite getting run over
by Aragon 50-0, showed it has some talent
and team speed and could be a spoiler this
season. The last three seasons have seen
the best PAL races coming out of the Lake
and it appears it will come down to the wire
again in 2013.
***
The most impressive win of the weekend
had to be Terra Novas 45-7 shellacking of
East Bay power Bishop ODowd. The
Dragons are off to an 0-2 start and appear
headed for a down year, but that doesnt
take away from the fact the Tigers shredded
them. Anthony Gordon, in his rst varsity
start, threw for 362 yards and three touch-
downs, completing 60 percent of his pass-
es in the progress.
Receiver Jaylen Jones lived up to presea-
son billing as a player to watch as he n-
ished with seven catches for 147 yards.
The most exciting was South Citys 26-
25 overtime win against Santa Clara. Tied
at 19, South Citys Maligi Maluia scored
from four yards out in the rst overtime.
James Donegans extra point gave the
Warriors a 26-19 lead.
Santa Clara scored on its overtime drive,
but its 2-point conversion attempt was
knocked away to preserve the win for
South City.

SAN FRANCISCO Oracle Team USAs
heart-stopping victory in Race 4 of the
Americas Cup may have saved the event as
well as the syndicates chances to retain the
oldest trophy in international sports.
Skipper Jimmy Spithill aggressively
sailed Oracles 72-foot catamaran to an 8-
second victory against Emirates Team New
Zealand in the fog, wind and salt spray on
San Francisco Bay on Sunday.
Oracle Team USA, owned by software bil-
lionaire Larry Ellison of Oracle Corp.,
hopes the victory helps swing the momen-
tum and allows it to learn a thing or two
about what its going to take to defeat a
strong Kiwi team.
One of those things is home-water advan-
tage.
The nish line of the ve-leg course is
just a few hundred yards off Americas Cup
Park on Pier 27-29 on the Embarcadero.
The end of the pier is packed with fans on
race days, many of them waving New
Zealand and American ags. On Saturday,
police closed off access to the area when the
crowd reached about 3,500.
Spithill wants the fans to know that the
sailors can hear them cheering as the races
end and the boats y across the line on
hydrofoils.
Theres something about the home court
advantage, and its very hard to put a value
on, but it makes a difference, said Spithill,
an Australian who lives in San Diego with
his American wife and their two young
boys.
The more people we can get behind us,
the more good energy they can send our
way. It affects the guys on board and it lifts
them. We want to keep the Cup here. We
want to keep it on the bay. These guys
dont, he said, referring to skipper Dean
Barker and the rest of the Kiwis. They want
to take it all the way down to New Zealand,
which is a long way away. So we need to use
that advantage. We need all the people from
San Francisco and the U.S. to get behind
us.
The Race 4 victory came after Oracle
which has only two Americans on its 11-
man crew let the Kiwis come from behind
to win Race 3.
Oracle trails the best-of-17 series 3 to
minus-1. The syndicate was docked two
points in the biggest cheating scandal in
the regattas history.
That means Oracle needs to win 10 more
races to keep the Auld Mug. Team New
Zealand needs to win six more to sweep the
trophy away to the Royal New Zealand Yacht
Squadron, which held it from 1995-2003.
Races 5 and 6 are scheduled for Tuesday.
Monday was a lay day. Oracle was out on
the bay working on improving its perform-
ance upwind, where the Kiwis have shown
better boat speed.
It was good to get out there and work on
a couple of things, said Oracle Team USA
CEO Russell Coutts, who won the rst two
of his four Americas Cups as skipper of
Team New Zealand in 1995 and 2000.
Weve got to improve our upwind perform-
ance. We were out there working on a bit of
that and our tacking. We made some
progress.
The Kiwis showed better speed upwind in
winning Saturdays rst two races.
Race 4 victory saves Oracles Cup chances
Sports brief
Billionaire ned for
trying to undo Kings arena
SACRAMENTO Billionaire Chris
Hansen must pay $50,000 for his role in a
secretive effort to funnel money to a group
trying to thwart Sacramentos efforts to build
a new downtown arena, the California Fair
Political Practices Commission said Monday.
The FPPC found that, just days after the
NBA rejected Hansens $625 million bid to
buy the Sacramento Kings and move them to
Seattle, he gave $100,000 to a group leading
an effort to thwart Sacramentos efforts to
keep the team.
A group of investors led by technology
executive Vivek Ranadive bought the team for
$535 million, one day after the NBArejected
Hansens bid.
The NBA has said that Sacramento must
build a modern arena to keep the Kings in
town. The teams new owners have set a 2016
target.
The state political watchdog found that
Hansen gave $100,000 to a group gathering
signatures to thwart Sacramentos plan to
keep the team by forcing a citywide vote on
the citys planned $258 million subsidy for a
downtown arena.
SPORTS 15
There was no quit in either of them,
during points that lasted 15, 25, even
more than 50 strokes.
Probably nobody brings my game
to the limit like Novak, said Nadal,
who collected $3.6 million in prize
money, including a $1 million bonus
for results during the North American
hard-court circuit.
This was their 37th match against
each other, the most between any two
men in the Open era, and Nadal has
won 22. It also was their third head-to-
head U.S. Open final in the last four
years. Nadal beat Djokovic for the
2010 title, and Djokovic won their
rematch in 2011.
They know each others games so
well, and play such similar hustle-to-
every-ball styles, but in the end, it
was Nadal who was superior.
He was too good. He definitely
deserved to win this match today and
this trophy, Djokovic said.
Obviously disappointing to lose a
match like this.
Nadal improved to 22-0 on hard
courts and 60-3 overall in 2013 with
nine titles, including at the French
Open, which made him the first man
with at least one Grand Slam trophy
in nine consecutive seasons. The 27-
year-old Spaniards total of 13 major
championships ranks third in the
history of mens tennis, behind only
Roger Federers 17 and Pete
Sampras 14.
Nadal no longer wears the strips of
white tape he once did to bolster his
left knee, and the way he covered the
court against Djokovic switching
from defense to offense in a blink
proved that while he says he still feels
pain in that leg, he definitely does not
have problems moving around.
These are the same two who played
the longest Grand Slam final in histo-
ry, a nearly six-hour struggle that left
both needing to sit in chairs during
the ceremony after Djokovics victory
at the 2012 Australian Open.
This time, when it ended with a fore-
hand into the net by Djokovic, Nadal
dropped to his back on the court,
saluted by an Arthur Ashe Stadium
crowd that included the Queen of
Spain.

Frenetic Eagles roll
past RG3, Redskins 33-27
LANDOVER, Md. Just try to keep up
with Michael Vick, LeSean McCoy and the
Philadelphia Eagles this season. Robert
Grifn III and the Washington Redskins sure
couldnt .
Playing at a frenetic pace that left the
Redskins bumbling and stumbling, the
Eagles unleashed coach Chip Kellys
offense on the NFL and crammed 77 plays
into 60 minutes of football. They had their
share of miscues, of course, but they held on
for a 33-27 upset of the defending NFC East
champs.
Vick, running the dont-take-a-breath
attack that won 87 percent of the time dur-
ing Kellys four years at the University of
Oregon, completed 15 of 25 passes for 203
yards and two touchdowns, and he ran nine
times for 56 yards and a score. McCoy had
31 carries for 184 yards, including a 34-yard
TD. DeSean Jackson piled up 104 yards on
seven catches.
Vick hit Jackson for a 25-yard touchdown
and Brent Celek for a 28-yard score, then
found the end zone himself on a 3-yard run
and that was just the rst half.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Here we go. The fall season for the 2013-
14 school year is upon us with a rush of new
young prep stars establishing themselves
in the nascent stage of the new season.
Football got off to a hot start, with the
Peninsula posting a .690 winning percent-
age in Week 1 so there is plenty of Honor
Roll love to go around.
First up, Faavae Brown of Sequoia foot-
ball. The sophomore accounted for three
touchdowns in the Cherokees 42-14 win
over Fremont-Sunnyvale Friday night.
Brown rushed for a 1-yard score and had
touchdown tosses of 29 yards to Liam
Clifford and 1 yard to Ivan Ayarza. Brown
nished the game completing 9 of 12 pass-
es for 94 yards and rushed for a team-high 86
yards on 20 carries.
Hillsdale scored a nice upset victory over
Half Moon Bay High School. Cole
Carrithers, quarterback for the Knights, had
a big hand in that. The second-year varsity
signal caller threw for 196 yards and three
touchdowns. He completed nearly 61 per-
cent of his passes (14 for 28) and threw
scoring strikes to Justin Kelly, Vince Guidi
and Hollon James.
Speaking of James, the running back
scored a pair of touchdowns playing in only
his rst varsity game. He led the team in
rushing with 88 yards and a touchdown on
17 carries. He also caught three passes for
40 yards and another score.
Burlingame High School scored an eye-
popping 45-0 victory over Mountain View.
While Robbie Baumgarten got the party
started with a kickoff return for a touch-
down, Grifn Intrieri and Steve Cosenza
kept it going all game long. Intrieri scored
a pair of rushing TDs (11 and 4 yards) while
Cosenza caught a 29-yard touchdown and
also recovered a fumble.
Kono Filimoehala-Egan of Aragon had a
nice 2013 debut. The Riordan transfer
scored twice once on offense, once of
defense during the Dons 50-0 win over
Jefferson Friday night. Early in the rst
quarter, he stepped in front of an Indians
receiver, snatched the ball out of the air and
went 40 yards untouched. Later, he hauled in
an impressive one-armed, 31-yard strike
from quarterback Nat Blood. He nished
with three catches for 93 yards.
Sacred Heart Prep posted a convincing 48-
0 win over Branham to start the year and
they had plenty of contributors.
While offensive lineman was rarely laud-
ed, Patrick Finningan makes his onto the
Honor Roll by recovering a fumble in the
end zone during SHPs win. Miguel
Mendoza was churning his way toward the
goal line when he coughed up the ball,
bounding into the end zone. Finnigan beat
Mendoza and a third Gator to the ball for the
touchdown. He also helped pave the way for
266 rushing yards.
Nick Collazo of SHP was huge as well.
The defensive end was in the quarterbacks
face early and often during the Gators win.
Collazo nished with four tackles, a sack,
fumble recovery and several quarterback
pressures.
SHP looks like it has a couple of promis-
ing young offensive weapons. Chief among
those is tight end Andrew Daschbach. The
sophomore got the most out of the mini-
mum. He caught two passes for 62 yards
both touchdowns.
San Mateos Line Latu showed why hes
one of the most exciting players in the
Peninsula Athletic League. Latu rushed for
181 yards on 21 carries and scored two
touchdowns including one on a kickoff
return to beat Gunn of Palo Alto. He also
caught a pass for 21 yards. Finau Hafoka
scored twice for the Bearcats as well. San
Mateo rushed for 333 yards.
In Saturday action, Mills got off to a fast
start thanks in large part to Antonio Jeffrey.
The Vikings rushed for ve touchdowns and
297 yards on 41 carries. Jeffrey nished
with 141 yards on 17 carries and three of
those scores. Victor Beglitsoff caught two
TDs.
VOLLEYBALL
High School volleyball is in full swing as
well.
Ella McDonough of Carlmont volleyball
is off to a hot start. She had 33 kills in ve
matches during the Milpitas Spikefest tour-
nament over the weekend. Her weekend high
came in the 11th-place match against St.
Ignatius, nishing with 10 kills. Carlmont
went 3-2, with wins over Lynbrook, Gunn
and the Wildcats.
Victoria Garrick of Sacred Heart Prep vol-
leyball had 19 kills and 10 digs in the
Gators 25-8, 20-25, 25-19, 25-14 win over
South City Saturday as the ve-time defend-
ing Central Coast Section champion
improved to 2-0. Garricks performance
came a couple days after a 10-kill, 11-dig
showing against Mercy-Burlingame. Ara
Peterson was huge in that game too with 10
kills and six blocks.
The Menlo volleyball team went 3-2 at
Spikefest, with a mountain of injuries pil-
ing up. Maddie Huber and Lida Vandermeer
led the team in kills over the course of the
tournament. Melissa Cairo and Jessica
Houghton were outstanding at libero.
Huber was instrumental in Menlos big
win over Menlo-Atherton the reigning
CCS champions. She had 13 kills and hit
.263. Morgan Dressel had three blocks and
11 kills. Vanderneer tallied 11 kills.
WATER POLO
In a water polo note, Menlos John
Wilson recorded 19 huge saves against PAL
rival Menlo-Atherton. Nick Bisconti led
the team with ve goals in that win.
Football takes center stage in Honor Roll
Carrithers considering his trek as the
Hillsdale starter. While his physical tools
have never been in question, whats stood
out so far after an off-season and one game,
are Carrithers intangibles.
His poise, his ability to take what they
(Half Moon Bay) were giving us, Parodi
said. And, hes worked hard this last off
season. His understanding of the offense is
really high right now. I knew that this was
going to happen with him at some point.
And Im glad that it happened when it did.
He was even coming over and making sug-
gestions based on what he saw and were in
a good place when he starts doing some of
that stuff. Its cool to see the growth and the
maturity. He denitely played one of his
better games as a varsity player.
Its that growth and maturity Parodi hopes
will help Carrithers guide the Knights to the
top of the Lake Division in the Peninsula
Athletic League.
We talk about how we have to be as con-
sistent as possible, Parodi said. From
Week 1 to Week 10. And if we do what we
want to do, the good stuff happens at the
end.

DO YOU HAVE KNEE PAIN?
Experience relief with advanced, non-surgical treatments.
Do you wake up with
knee pain?
Does knee pain limit your
level of activity?
Has your doctor
recommended surgery?
Do you have pain when
walking up or down
stairs?
Have you run out of
options to relieve your
pain?
If you answered yes to
any of these questions,
you are a candidate
for our non-invasive
treatment program.
Meet Dr. Brian Mitchell
Millions of individuals give up their
active lifestyle to knee pain because they
feel they are too young for major surgery.
I am here to tell you theres an effective
and FDA approved alternative to surgery.
If you suffer from any degree of knee pain,
I invite you to regain control of your life by
visiting our state of the art facility.
How Do We Treat Knee Pain?
We use a non-invasive, multi-
disciplinary approach to provide
complete care and dramatically
improve patients results. We cus-
tomize our treatment programs for
every individual. This may include
visco-supplementation to lubricate
the joint, individualized rehabili-
tation to strengthen the muscles
surrounding the injury, or bracing
for stabilization and support.
What Is visco-
supplementation?
Visco-supplementation, also known
as joint therapy, supplements the
knee with a natural occurring sub-
stance called hyaluronic acid that
is often decient in arthritic knees.
This lubricates the knee joint to
reduce friction between the bones
of the knee to provide signicant
pain relief.
Why is individualized reha-
bilitation Important?
The muscles surrounding the
injury can become weak and stiff
making it difficult to do everyday
tasks. Individualized rehabilita-
tion reduces inflammation and
increases range of motion, flex-
ibility and strength.
Will I feel better right away?
Most patients feel relief in a matter
of weeks and can go back to their
daily activities.
Will insurance cover
the cost?
Yes, most insurance providers and
Medicare will cover treatment upon
approval of your benets.
Are the treatments
successful?
Weve treated thousands of patients
and over 90% have experienced
signicant pain relief and regained
mobility.
How will I know if this
is right for me?
If youre suffering from knee pain,
your rst step is an evaluation with
Dr. Brian Mitchell.
What are patients saying?
I arrived to my rst appointment in a wheelchair because I couldnt bear any weight on my right
leg. The physician and therapists worked together to create a plan specically for me. I quickly
progressed from a wheelchair, to a walker, to a cane, to full weight on my leg. The treatments and
one-on-one rehabilitation gave me my life back. Diana V., Huntington Beach, CA

WASHINGTON Coping with advanced
cancer, Bev Veals was in the hospital for
chemo this summer when she got a call that
her health plan was shutting down. Then,
the substitute insurance she was offered
wanted her to pay up to $3,125, on top of
premiums.
It sounds like one of those insurance hor-
ror stories President Barack Obama told to
sell his health overhaul to Congress, but
Veals wasnt in the clutches of a prot-driv-
en company. Instead, shes covered by
Obamas law one of about 100,000 peo-
ple with serious medical issues in a nan-
cially troubled government program.
Raw political divisions over health care
have clouded chances of a x for the Pre-
Existing Condition Insurance Plan, leaving
families like Veals and her husband Scott to
juggle the consequences. Thats not a good
omen for solving other problems that could
surface with Obamacare.
You dont advertise one thing and then
give the customer another thing, said
Veals, 49, who lives near Wilmington, N.C.
I finally felt for the first time going
through this cancer that I had something
dependable, and somebody pulled the plug.
In a statement, the federal Health and
Human Services department said the pro-
gram continues to provide excellent cover-
age. But the department said it was unable
to provide current enrollment numbers,
which might reflect the impact of belt-
tightening this summer that led North
Carolina and 16 other states to turn their
programs over to federal ofcials.
Known as PCIP, the program was intended
as a temporary lifeline for people denied
insurance because of medical problems. Its
supposed to provide coverage at premiums
that healthy people would typically pay.
PCIP will end Jan. 1, when Veals and other
enrollees will be able to transition to new
insurance marketplaces where they may be
able to nd lower-cost plans.
Jan. 1 is also when Obamas law will for-
bid insurers from turning away people in
poor health. At the same time, virtually all
Americans will be required to have cover-
age. Many who are currently uninsured will
be able to get tax credits to help pay premi-
ums.
Part of the problem with PCIP stems from
a decision by the president and Congress
more than three years ago to cap funding at
$5 billion. Some experts warned that might
not be enough to last through the end of
2013.
Veals is a breast cancer survivor now bat-
tling colorectal cancer. A runner, she has
participated in more than 125 fundraising
races for cancer research. Her husband Scott
is self-employed, a slow-motion replay
operator for televised sporting events.
Patients bill soars as health law program falters
doesnt contract its human resources to a
more experienced agency and retains a 21-
member governing board.
I still have concerns about the gover-
nance. They may have some good processes
and procedures in place but governance
remains a problem for me, Horsley said.
Ill reserve judgment.
The jury report also took aim at the board,
arguing the districts insurance company
denied its $790,000 loss claim because of
its failure.
The report said trustees are confused
about their responsibilities and cities dont
prioritize having representation on the dis-
trict board. The internal nancial controls
were inadequate, important policies were
not followed and there were signicant dif-
ferences of opinion about whether district
manager Robert Gay is equipped to manage
the district, the jury concluded.
Gay hired finance director Jo Ann
Dearman, otherwise known as Joanne
Seeney, without a background or reference
check and she in turn hired bookkeeper
assistant Vika Sinipata. Between 2009 and
2011, the women embezzled district money
by giving themselves extra pay at a higher
pay rate and fraudulent time off, excessively
contributed to their deferred compensation
funds, used credit cards for personal purchas-
es and electronically transferred money into
their own accounts. Dearman even charged
defense attorneys fees for an earlier embez-
zlement case to the district and at one point
took medical leave, claiming she needed to
care for her mother but in actuality served
two years and eight months in prison for
the two different embezzlement cases. In
one of those previous cases, Dearman ran up
more than a half-million dollars on her
boss credit card.
Dearman pleaded no contest to 10
felonies and Sinipata faces eight years on
12 counts. Both are due in court Sept. 13 for
sentencing.
Gay was placed on a performance
improvement plan by the district which
later extended his contract and LAFCo toyed
with dissolution. The county previously
handled rodent responsibilities but trans-
ferred them to the district in 2008 and shift-
ed all vector control three years later.
The LAFCo board ultimately decided that
while the district needed monthly auditing
and scrutinizing of its operations, dissolu-
tion would only jeopardize public safety and
punish the agency.
But while LAFCo, in its draft grand jury
response, agreed dissolution warrants fur-
ther evaluation, it continues that the
Environmental Health division and the dis-
trict are best equipped to study the transfer
of employees, accountability and any pos-
sible cost savings.
In an Aug. 7 letter to LAFCo Executive
Ofcer Martha Poyatos, district staff called
dissolution unnecessary and said it would
make maintenance of quality service dif-
cult.
LAFCo meets 2:30 p.m. Wednesday,
Sept. 11 in Room 101 of 455 County
Center.
LAFCO
there is no federal requirement for a city to
assume liability for accidents which may
occur in a quiet zone, some railroad opera-
tors require that cities indemnify them
against any claims which arise as the result
of quiet zone implementation, according
to the staff report.
The FRAallows for quiet zones by imple-
menting supplementary safety measures
including the installation of four-quadrant
gates or the less costly option of installing
gates with medians or channelization
devices, for instance.
The city concluded, however, that none of
its nine grade crossings are suitable for the
safety measure requirements, according to
the staff report.
It would be difcult to implement the less
expensive median option and too costly to
install a four-quadrant system, according to
city staff.
The costs to install a four-quadrant gate
system would reach up to $10 million,
according to city staff.
In October 2009, Caltrain ofcials actual-
ly apologized to city residents for excessive
noise from the horns when they were moved
from the bottom of the trains back to the
top to keep in line with federal regulations.
Caltrain moved the horns to the underside
of locomotives and cab cars in response to
previous complaints from the community
but had to move the horns back on top of
the trains, soliciting a whole new slew of
resident complaints.
The horns were then returned to the bot-
tom of the carriage to help mufe the sound
and still keep in line with federal regula-
tions.
Federal regulations require the horns to
produce distinct, separate and sequential
blasts and a summer safety inspection that
year revealed the horns were not making the
unique toot and tweet required by law.
The train horn assessment update the
Public Works Commission will hear this
week indicates that the duration of train
horns at Second Avenue varied between 7
seconds and 1 minute and 18 seconds. At
16th Avenue, train horn soundings lasted
between 7 seconds and 51 seconds.
The Public Works Commission meets
7:30 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 11, City Hall,
330 W. 20th Ave., San Mateo.

NEWYORK Two scientists who illumi-
nated how brain cells communicate, three
researchers who developed implants that let
deaf people hear and philanthropists Bill
and Melinda Gates have won prestigious
Lasker Awards for medical research and con-
tributions to public health.
The Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation
announced the recipients of the $250,000
prizes on Monday. The awards will be pre-
sented Sept. 20 in New York City.
The Gateses won the public service award
for leading a historic transformation in the
way we view the globes most pressing
health concerns and improving the lives of
millions of the worlds most vulnerable,
the Lasker foundation said.
They have donated more than $26 billion
to their philanthropic foundation. They
often team up with agencies that can pro-
vide diverse expertise, the Lasker founda-
tion said, noting that they supported an
international partnership that has helped
immunize hundreds of millions of children
against killer diseases. Their current priori-
ties include polio, agriculture and family-
planning information and services.
The Lasker clinical medical research
award will be shared by Graeme Clark, an
emeritus professor at the University of
Melbourne in Australia, Ingeborg Hochmair
of the company MED-EL in Innsbruck,
Austria, and Blake Wilson of Duke
University in North Carolina, for develop-
ing the modern cochlear implant. More
than 320,000 people around the world use
the implants for severe hearing loss, the
foundation said.
The devices stimulate the auditory nerve
with electric signals. Hochmair and Clark
worked independently, in the face of scien-
tic skepticism that electrical stimulation
could produce meaningful hearing. The
implants were approved in the U.S. in
1985.
Wilson later designed a new way for
implants to process speech, which has
allowed most users to understand words and
sentences with no visual cues. The advance
fueled a growth in implant use that began in
the early 1990s, the foundation said.
The Lasker award for basic medical
research will be shared by Richard Scheller
of the biotech company Genentech and Dr.
Thomas Sudhof of Stanford University.
With research they began independently in
the late 1980s, they unraveled details of
how brain cells release chemical messen-
gers to communicate with each other.
Scientists are beginning to nd connec-
tions between the molecular equipment they
studied and serious illnesses like
Parkinsons disease, the foundation said.
Gates, five scientists win Lasker medical prizes
By Carley Petesch
JOHANNESBURG Richard Van As, a
South African carpenter, lost four ngers
from his right hand to a circular saw two
years ago.
He was unable to afford the tens of thou-
sands of dollars to get a myoelectric hand,
which detects a muscles electric impulses to
activate an articial limb.
After my accident, I was in pain, but
wouldnt take painkillers. I barely slept, and
the more pain I had the more ideas I got, he
told the Associated Press. Sometimes you
have to chop ngers off to start thinking.
He decided to build his own hand. After
seeing a video posted online of a mechani-
cal hand made for a costume in a theater pro-
duction, he reached out to its designer, Ivan
Owen, in Seattle.
Enter Robohand a device that Van As
and Owen invented that is made from cables,
screws, 3-D printing and thermoplastic. It
uses the rotation of a joint to enable ve
plastic digits to grasp. The device looks like
a robots hand in a science ction movie,
costs about $500 to make and can be repro-
duced using plans on the Internet and a 3-D
printer.
Van As is now on a mission to spread the
mechanism to people without ngers or
hands all over the world. The two gadget-
lovers collaborated on developing a design
for the device for a wide range of ages that
could be used to grab objects, unlike most
existing arm prostheses. Van As has tted
Robohands on about 170 people, from tod-
dlers to adults, thanks to donations.
At rst they used a milling machine, mak-
ing Van As a metal robotic forenger digit
that helps him work in carpentry to this day.
Thats when they perfected the shape for the
robotic ngers.
Ivan was a gift to me, Van As said.
Then they turned to 3-D printing which
creates the device in plastic. The 3-D printer
gives much greater exibility, allowing the
device to be re-sized on the computer for
each user and then manufactured through the
printer. A glove-like covering is tted in
thermoplastic, and then ngers are created
on the 3-D printer by melting and stacking
plastic to make Lego-like digits which are
connected to the glove with small cables
and screws.
The team got a boost when two printers
were donated by the Brooklyn-based
Makerbot, one for use in Johannesburg and
the other for Seattle.
What was taking us two weeks to put
together took us 20 hours, Van As said. He
opened drawers full of bolts, screws and left-
over hinges from the beginning phases of
the project. Now it looks easy.
They then started working on a design to
help children with Amniotic Band
Syndrome, a condition where children are
born without appendages because their cir-
culation is cut off in the womb by amniotic
bands.
To spread the device as widely as possible,
they made the Robohand an Open Source
design available online, and Van As now
collects donations to make hands for people
around the world.

explosion and resulting shock wave
registered as a magnitude 1.1 earth-
quake.
Marks had purchased the home two
and half months prior to the explo-
sion, after living in San Francisco for
more than 30 years. It was a move that
was decided upon because of health rea-
sons. She also brought her two then-
11-month-old kittens.
There was the stress of moving and
nding the right place not too far from
city because we both worked in the
city, Marks said. It landed us in San
Bruno. Alot of things went wrong with
the move and we had just finished
changes we needed to make to the
house, upgrades, getting all window
coverings a couple of days before,
then the explosion happened.
What I remember is a horric sound
and shaking that I couldnt place,
Marks said. The sound came rst in
my recollection. I remember saying
what is that? My partner said, I think
its a plane. Then the whole house
started to shake in a way that was very
different from an earthquake. I felt like
the home was going in every direction
simultaneously, then I heard an enor-
mous explosion.
Marks recounted one of the kittens
ying straight up in the air. She then
walked to the front of the house and
saw a massive reball in the front win-
dow.
I could feel the heat and called to my
partner, saying oh my god, oh my
god! she said.
She knew they had to get out and
they went to look for their cats. They
ended up getting out of the house in six
minutes. They proceeded to the Church
of the Highlands and perched them-
selves there. She said her partner start-
ed to shake furiously as the shock set-
tled in and it was a really a powerful
moment for them that has not gone
away.
What saved us was that the wind was
blowing in the opposite direction of
our home, Marks said. If the wind
were blowing in reverse, we would not
have a home.
Damage to the home included a wall
left with a curvature, damage to the
foundation, a cracked and broken sewer
pipe, along with pieces of the road
landing in their yard. Marks and her
partner stayed with a friend in San
Francisco with the cats and moved
back in the day after the evacuation
was lifted.
Most of the damage was xed the fol-
lowing January and February, but there
is some work still left undone. Damage
to the oor would require sanding out
the entire place.
We just couldnt take it on, Marks
said. Everything was too much and it
requires us leaving the house.
How has the event changed Marks?
I think its made me aware that
every day is full of triggers, Marks
said. Its made me more aware that
trauma is not neat, it can be very long-
lasting. I didnt know neighbors
before the explosion because we had
just moved into the neighborhood, so
Ive met them and listening to how
affected they are by this. Ive seen the
different stages of trauma theyve gone
through: the hopelessness, powerless-
ness and learned the feeling of com-
plete powerlessness over every aspect
of this explosion with PG&E, the
courts, the city, construction, the
timeline, the excuses.
Over and over again youre realizing
you have no control, Marks said.
As human beings we like control,
but ultimately we dont have control,
Marks said. Ive coped through my
own personal work on myself, by try-
ing to nd the lesson in this and by
trying to lead neighbors through hav-
ing community meetings with the city
to get their voices heard. Some days
are OK and some days are not, today is
not. I think the hardest part is know-
ing that this is going to drag on for a
very long time and that its a never-
ending process for us still living it
every day.
What are her hopes for the future of
the neighborhood?
My rst hope is that this will be
done, all construction and repairs, so
we can have some peace and cleanli-
ness around here, she said. I hope we
can all heal from this to the best of our
individual abilities. My fantasy hope
is that the CEO of PG&E would sit
down with me and hear my story. I
have not gotten any indication that
settlement has been reached. For me, a
lawsuit was never about the money, it
was about being heard, so even when it
settles its going to fall at for me.

who are returning home.
Tonight we celebrate their accom-
plishments and let them back into
their homes with open arms, he said.
We give a special welcome to new
families who have moved into the
neighborhood in the last two years.
You have chosen a great place to call
home welcome and congratula-
tions.
Four more families will be moving
back into their homes in the next 60-
90 days.
A resident even read a poem to wel-
come back the neighbors and to
remember the victims.
Three years ago, a horric explo-
sion and re killed eight of my con-
stituents and destroyed a neighbor-
hood, U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San
Mateo, said in a statement. Those
who lost loved ones will forever be
scarred by this horrendous tragedy.
Those who escaped with their lives are
still haunted by the trauma and memo-
ries. Many improvements have been
made to the natural gas system, but I
continue to be disappointed by
PG&Es dismal record keeping and the
CPUCs inadequate oversight. We just
recently learned that PG&E belatedly
admitted to the CPUC that it kept bad
records on two transmission lines on
the Peninsula. Bad records can lead to
bad outcomes. It is time for the CPUC
to ne PG&E for its negligence in the
past and force it to assure a safe gas
system in the future. The San Bruno
community is optimistic and resilient
and will continue to heal in the years
ahead.
So far, of the 38 homes destroyed by
the explosion, 16 have completed
construction and are occupied, accord-
ing to the city. Five homes are active-
ly under construction with active
building permits, while one home is
preparing plans for a building permit
submittal. Sixteen parcels remain
vacant.
Together with the mayor of
Allentown, Penn., where a similar
pipeline explosion occurred in 2011,
Ruane is forming the Mayors Council
on Pipeline Safety through the U.S.
Conference of Mayors to assure that
the call for critical reform and public
awareness is heard nationwide.

WORLD 28
By Brian Mahoney
NEW YORK Dennis Rodman is going
back to North Korea, and bringing a team of
former NBAplayers with him.
Days after returning from his second trip
to visit Kim Jong Un in which he said he
became the first foreigner to hold the
leaders newborn daughter Rodman
announced plans Monday to stage two exhi-
bition games in North Korea in January.
The rst will be Jan. 8 Kims birthday
with another to follow two days later.
Rodmans friendship with the autocratic
leader has been criticized and led to a cou-
ple of testy exchanges during his
Manhattan news conference. But Rodman
insists Kim is a good person, wants to have
better relations with the United States and
that hes the one who can help make it hap-
pen with his plan for basketball diploma-
cy.
Why North Korea? Itll open doors,
Rodman said.
Touting his friendship with Kim and
taunting President Barack Obama for not
talking to him, Rodman said he will go back
to North Korea for a week in December to
help select local players for the game. He
hopes to have stars such as former Chicago
teammate Scottie Pippen and Karl Malone.
Michael Jordan, he wont do it, because
hes Michael Jordan, Rodman said.
Rodman, holding a cigar and wearing the
shirt of a vodka company and a hat of a bet-
ting company that is funding the event, said
Kim has asked him to train his players to
compete in the 2016 Olympics and offered
to allow the Hall of Famer to write a book
about him.
Though looking like a billboard, Rodman
said hes not doing the event for money. He
said the Irish betting company Paddy Power
would put up $3.5 million. Power later said
nances hadnt been determined.
And Rodman, who joked that he hadnt
drawn such a crowd in New York since he
wore a wedding dress to a book signing, was
adamant that this venture was serious
groundbreaking, in Rodmans words.
People think this is a gimmick. I would
love to make this a gimmick ... but its not
about the money, he said.
He rarely referred to Kim by name, fre-
quently calling him the marshal. Rodman
rst met Kim, a basketball fan, when travel-
ing to North Korea in February for a lm
project.
Though saying he didnt want to discuss
politics, Rodman raised his voice when
answering a questioner about Kims human
rights record and portrayed himself as the
person who could make outsiders see the
young leader as different than his father and
grandfather.
Rodman returning to North Korea, with others
By Bradley Brooks
RIO DE JANEIRO Brazilian President
Dilma Rousseff again demanded answers
from the U.S. government Monday after a
new report about National Security Agency
spying on Brazil.
The report broadcast by the Globo TV net-
work Sunday night, based on leaked docu-
ments from Edward Snowden, said the NSA
targeted Brazils state-run oil rm Petrobras.
That came a week after a report on Globo
indicated that the communications of
Rousseff herself were intercepted by the
NSA.
The new Globo report also said Google and
the Belgium-based Society for Worldwide
Interbank Financial Telecommunication, an
organization better known as SWIFT that
oversees international bank transfers
thought to be secure transactions, were tar-
geted by the NSA.
The report gave no
indication about what
information the NSAmay
have obtained from the
companies. All three
companies are included in
an NSA training manual
for new agents on how to
target the private com-
puter networks of big
companies, the report said.
If the facts in the report are conrmed,
then its evident that the motive for the ...
espionage is not security or to ght terror-
ism, but economic and strategic interests,
Rousseff said in an emailed statement.
Rousseff met with U.S. President Barack
Obama last week in Russia during a Group of
20 meeting. She said Obama promised to
provide explanations about the NSA pro-
gram by this Wednesday.
Rousseff says any Petrobras
spying has economic motive
