SAN FRANCISCO Just a
month ago, the Americas Cup
village along San Franciscos
waterfront had few visitors.
Its trendy, temporary bars often
had more staff than patrons and
retail workers at souvenir shops
stood behind silent cash registers
as sailings most prestigious com-
petition got off to a desultory start
with single-competitor races
that drew little interest.
Then Oracle Team USA launched
one of the greatest comebacks in
sports history. On Wednesday,
tens of thousands lined up along
the citys waterfront, found van-

Now the question is whether
Ellison will bring the next
Americas Cup back to a city where
he endured a lawsuit, political
opposition and scaled-back ambi-
tions he blamed on too much
bureaucracy to hold the event here.
The winner of each event gets to
pick the location of the next race.
Ellison, who owns a San
Francisco mansion, said during a
news conference that he didnt
take any of the political opposi-
tion personally and called the
event a success.
It was the most beautiful regat-
ta I have ever seen, said Ellison,
who recently purchased an island
in Hawaii. Ellison said he would
discuss where to hold the next
event with senior members of the
Oracle team before announcing the

Citys dead skunk depot
stinks up neighborhood
BUFFALO, N.Y Residents of a
Buffalo, N.Y., neighborhood plagued
by skunk odors now know what caused
the stink: Trapped critters that were
shot and stored at a shuttered police
station.
The Buffalo News reports that the
citys public works commissioner con-
rmed Monday that humanely trapped
skunks have been taken to an old
police station in South Buffalo, where
theyre shot and stored in outdoor
freezer until they can be incinerated.
Residents say they complained
about the smell months ago but were
told by city officials that skunks
werent being killed inside the build-
ing. Later, they were told only a few
skunks were killed there by lethal
injection.
One neighborhood leader has dubbed
the community scandal Skunkgate.
City ofcials say theyre looking for
new locations for dispatching the nui-
sance skunks.
Anti-war drama troupe
arrested for Belfast bullets
BELFAST, Northern Ireland An
anti-war theater troupe traveling from
Northern Ireland to Bosnia says four of
its members were arrested at a Belfast
airport after security ofcials found
bullets inside a costume.
The cast and crew of The Conquest
of Happiness were trying to y to
Sarajevo for a performance of their
anti-war play when security ofcers
detected 12 live rounds sewn into a
denim jacket used by an actor who por-
trays a war correspondent.
Show co-creator Emma Jordan says
they were released Wednesday without
charge after explaining they had
bought the jacket on the Internet and
didnt realize it was decorated with real
bullets.
The Conquest of Happiness drama-
tizes bloodshed from the Middle East,
Vietnam, Northern Ireland, Cambodia,
Chile and Bosnia. It includes readings
from the work of pacist philosopher
Bertrand Russell.
Bear obeys bartenders
command, leaves Juneau bar
JUNEAU, Alaska If only all
unwelcome bar guests were this oblig-
ing. Ablack bear walked into the bar at
the Alaskan Hotel in downtown Juneau
on Monday night.
Bartender Ariel Svetlik-McCarthy
says she freaked out and yelled, No
bear! Get out! No! You cant be in
here!
The bear complied, leaving the bar
within seconds.
State biologist Ryan Scott says its
rare for black bears to go inside Juneau
businesses, but they have wandered
inside homes before.
He tells KTOO the staff did a great
job, and it was good news the bear left.
State wildlife ofcials have killed
two nuisance bears in Juneau this sum-
mer.
Ninety-nine-year-old woman
gets high school diploma
WATERLOO, Iowa A 99-year-old
Iowa woman who dropped out of a high
school more than 80 years ago despite
needing only one credit to graduate has
nally received her diploma.
Audrey Crabtree, of Cedar Falls,
smiled Monday as she received an hon-
orary diploma for her time at Waterloo
East High School.
And I feel so much smarter,
Crabtree quipped.
Crabtree, who began her education at
a one-room school house in northeast
Iowa, left high school in 1932 due to a
swimming and diving accident that
forced her to miss several school days.
She also had to care for her sick grand-
mother.
I was a senior, but I was short a cred-
it, so I wouldve had to go back the
next fall, she told the Waterloo-Cedar
Falls Courier.
That would have interfered with her
plans to marry her rst husband. In
1957, the couple bought the ower
shop where Crabtree had worked after
their two children started school. But
her husband died of a heart attack two
months into their business venture.

SAN FRANCISCO With another possi-
ble strike on the horizon, Bay Area Rapid
Transit ofcials unveiled a transportation
contingency plan that will provide com-
muters with a range of options.
The $21 million plan released Tuesday
would provide 200 free charter buses, extra
car pool lanes and even limited train service
run by managers.
If no deal is reached, BART employees
could strike as early as Oct. 11, when a cool-
ing-off period ordered last month by Gov.
Jerry Brown expires.
The contingency plan is more aggressive
than the one used during a strike in July
the number of charter buses was tripled in
the new plan primarily because BARTrid-
ership peaks in the fall by about 30 percent.
An average of about 200,000 riders takes
BARTroundtrip on a weekday.
Ofcials also planned to have carpool
lanes in effect all day, rather than just during
commute hours. New diamond lanes would
be added on Highway 24 near the Caldecott
Tunnel.
Even with the cooling off period more
than halfway complete, BART management
and its largest labor unions are still far apart
on key issues including wages, pensions
and health care benefits. The two sides
began meeting again Monday.
The plan still needs approval by BARTs
board of directors; unions say the plan puts
riders at risk.

Man charged with attempting to
murder friend after 49ers game
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A Santa Barbara man who reportedly stabbed his friend
during an argument after attending a San Francisco 49ers
game told the victims brother that s
got crazy, according to prosecutors who
charged him yesterday with attempted
murder.
Dustin Semenza, 28, is also charged
with assault with a deadly weapon and is
accused of using premeditation and caus-
ing great bodily injury in the attack. In
court yesterday, Semenza asked for a
court-appointed attorney and put off a
plea until Oct. 9.
South San Francisco police arrested
Semenza early Monday morning after responding to the
Residence Inn at 1350 Veterans Blvd. around 2 a.m. on
reports of a stabbing in his room. They found his 28-year-
old friend bleeding profusely on the oor from seven stab
wounds, two in his chest and the others on his lower back,
legs and arms.
The victims brother said the three had come from Santa
Barbara for the football game. After, he and Semenza went
to San Francisco for drinking while the man returned to the
hotel room. The victim called them later, asking them to
come back with snacks, but after they arrived he and
Semenza reportedly got into a heated argument because they
hadnt originally accompanied him to the hotel. The broth-
er left for the elevator and Semenza joined him shortly after,
saying s got crazy, dont worry about it, said Chief
Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti.
The brother returned to the room to check on the victim
and found him injured.
Police said Semenza claimed he didnt know what had hap-
pened and it all happened in his sleep, Guidotti said.
He remains in custody without bail.
L.A. students breach school iPads security
LOS ANGELES It took just a week for nearly 300 stu-
dents who got iPads from their Los Angeles high school to
gure out how to alter the security settings so they could
surf the Web and access social media sites.
The breach at Roosevelt High and two other L.A. schools
has prompted Los Angeles Unied School District ofcials
to halt a $1 billion program aimed at putting the devices in
the hands of every student in the nations second-largest
school system. The district also has banned home use of the
iPads until further notice as ofcials look for ways to make
sure students use the devices for school work only.

Seven suspected gangmembers with
the Vagos Motorcycle Club were arrest-
ed in South San Francisco Saturday
night for a variety of gang enhancement
and weapons charges, according to
police.
Police pulled over two vehicles that
were in a large caravan of motorcycles
after about 30 bikers on Harley
Davidsons rode down Grand Avenue
downtown just around 7:30 p.m.
Saturday, according to police.
The occupants of both vehicles were
dressed in outlaw motorcycle gang
attire and a search of the vehicles
revealed that the occupants possessed
several loaded rearms, including a
loaded shotgun, according to police.
They were likely pulled over for pro-
bation or parole violations, said South
San Francisco police Sgt. Bruce
McPhillips.
They were all dressed in full leather
that prominently displayed Vagos
Motorcycle Club patches, he said.
The caravan was driving through the
city and fueling up at a gas station
before departing to attend an event in
another city, McPhillips said.
One of the vehicles was pulled over as
it was about to drive onto Highway 101
out of the city, he said.
The seven were charged with posses-
sion and likely all posted bail, he said.
Later that night, a shooting in
Broadmoor occurred with another group
of gangmembers afliated with the
Vagos club called Wanted, according to
police.
Police responded to a shooting on the
7400 block of Mission Street and locat-
ed multiple shell casings on the ground
near a restaurant there and canvassed the
area for those responsible and to look
for any potential victims.
Police were unable to locate any vic-
tims or suspects at that time, However,
at about 10:30 p.m., the Broadmoor
Police Department was contacted by San
Francisco police, who were aware of the
incident in Broadmoor and advised that
two gunshot victims had arrived at a San
Francisco hospital.
One victim, a 37-year-old man, had
suffered a gunshot wound to the
abdomen and was listed in critical condi-
tion. The second victim, a 41-year-old
man, suffered a gunshot wound to his
arm and was listed in stable condition
and both are Hells Angels club mem-
bers, according to Broadmoor police.
The victims, along with witnesses at
the scene, were interviewed and the case
is being investigated by the Broadmoor
Police Department.
Police indicated the victims were not
being cooperative with the investiga-
tion.
Anyone with any information related
to this incident is asked to contact
Ofcer Pagarigan of the Broadmoor
Police Department at 755-3838.

Caltrain tracks reopen after
brush fire forces two-hour closure
Abrush re that spanned both sides of the
Caltrain tracks in Burlingame Wednesday
evening caused major delays for the rail serv-
ice throughout the evening commute, re and
Caltrain ofcials said.
Burlingame police asked Caltrain to halt
train service at 6:15 p.m. because of a brush
re near the Broadway station, according to
Caltrain.
A San Mateo County re dispatcher said
that the re was burning in the area of
California Drive and Dufferin Avenue.
The re spanned about two-and-a-half acres
and started on the east side but spread to the
west side of the tracks, prompting reght-
ers to shut down train service to keep re-
ghters safe as they worked to put out the
fire, Central County Fire Department
Division Chief Rocque Yballa said.
Fireghters quickly contained the re but
the tracks remained closed for about two
hours while crews worked on putting out hot
spots and making sure the re didnt are up
again, Yballa said.
Any time you have combustible vegeta-
tion, you need to break it apart to make sure
it doesnt re-ash, Yballa said.
The tracks reopened shortly after 8 p.m.
but major delays on the service continued due
to the long track closure, Caltrain spokes-
woman Christine Dunn said.
Samtrans provided a free bus bridge
between San Mateo, Burlingame and
Millbrae while SamTrans, VTA and BART
accepted Caltrain tickets, she said.
No one was injured by the re and investi-
gators are working to determine what caused
it, Yballa said.
Local brief
By Christopher Weber
LOS ANGELES Calling it a matter of
justice, Gov. Jerry Brown put his signature
on a bill that will hike Californias minimum
wage to $10 an hour within three years, mak-
ing it one of the highest rates in the nation.
The legislation signed Wednesday at a cer-
emony in downtown Los Angeles will gradu-
ally raise the current minimum of $8 an hour
to $9 on July 1, 2014, then to $10 on Jan. 1,
2016. The increase is the rst to the states
minimum wage in six years and comes amid a
national debate over whether its fair to pay
fast-food workers, retail clerks and others
wages so low that they often have to work
second or third jobs.
Brown called the bill an overdue piece of
legislation that will help working-class fam-
ilies and close the gap between workers at
the bottom and those who occupy the com-
manding heights of the economy.
The governor was joined by state legisla-
tors and business owners who supported the
measure, saying increased wages would
boost the states economy.
The state Senate approved AB10 on a 26-
11 vote Sept. 12, and the Assembly followed
hours later on a 51-25 vote. Both chambers
voted largely along party lines. Miguel
Aguilar, a worker at a Los Angeles car wash,
thanked the governor for signing the bill.
We work really long hours, said Aguilar,
who has a union contract. Now, with the
increase in the minimum wage, well be able
to sustain an income that can support our
families.
Supporters said the bill by Assemblyman
Luis Alejo, D-Watsonville, would help work-
ers left behind during the recent recession.
Ahigher minimum wage will mean much-
needed money in the pockets of millions of
workers in the state, and thats good news for
businesses throughout California that will
benet from increased consumer spending,
Gary Gerber, founder and CEO of Sun Light &
Power in Berkeley, said in a statement.
In opposing the measure, Republican law-
makers said increased wages would encourage
businesses to cut jobs and automate.
The California Chamber of Commerce was
against the bill, saying it will drive up busi-
nesses costs by ratcheting up other wages
and workers compensation payments.
Small business owners
will now be forced
to make
tough choices including reducing employee
hours, cutting positions entirely, and for
many, closing their doors altogether, said
John Kabateck, head of the California branch
of the National Federation of Independent
Business.

McLEAN, Va. Supreme Court Justice
Antonin Scalia said Wednesday that the
courts ultimately will have to determine the
legality of surveillance programs by the
National Security Agency.
And hes not sure thats a good thing in an
era of complex security threats against the
United States.
Scalia told the Northern Virginia
Technology Council that questions about
how much information the NSA can collect
about Americans telephone calls and under
what circumstances the agency can monitor
conversations are best answered by the
elected branches of gov-
ernment.
But he said that the
Supreme Court took that
power for itself in
1960s-era expansions of
privacy rights, including
prohibitions on wiretap-
ping without a judges
approval.
The consequence of
that is that whether the NSAcan do the stuff
its been doing ... which used to be a question
for the people ... will now be resolved by the
branch of government that knows the least
about the issues in question, the branch that
knows the least about the extent of the threat
against which the wiretapping is directed,
he said.
Scalia did not raise the issue in his
speech, but instead responded to a question
about it. He repeatedly used the term wire-
tap in his comments, but indicated later
that he was speaking more generally about
NSA surveillance, including the massive
collection of Americans phone records.
In July, following the disclosures by NSA
leaker Edward Snowden about the extent of
the agencys surveillance programs, the
Electronic Privacy Information Center
asked the Supreme Court directly to bar NSA
from collecting phone call records on mil-
lions of U.S. customers. The court has not
yet decided whether to hear the case.

WASHINGTON You might be pleased
with the low monthly premium for one of
the new health insurance plans under
President Barack Obamas overhaul, but the
added expense of copayments and
deductibles could burn a hole in your wallet.
An independent analysis released
Wednesday, on the heels of an administra-
tion report emphasizing affordable premi-
ums, is helping to ll out the bottom line for
consumers.
The annual deductible for a mid-range sil-
ver plan averaged $2,550 in a sample of six
states studied by Avalere Health, or more
than twice the typical deductible in employ-
er plans. A deductible is the amount con-
sumers must pay each year before their plan
starts picking up the bills.
Americans looking for a health plan in
new state insurance markets that open next
week will face a trade-off familiar to pur-
chasers of automobile coverage: to keep
your premiums manageable, you agree to
pay a bigger chunk of the repair bill if you
get in a crash. Except that unlike an auto
accident, serious illness is often not a self-
contained event.
Avalere also found that the new plans will
require patients to pay a hefty share of the
cost 40 percent on average for certain
pricey drugs, like the newer specialty med-
ications used to treat intractable chronic dis-
eases such as rheumatoid arthritis and multi-
ple sclerosis. On the other hand, preventive
care will be free of charge to the patient.
Consumers will need to balance lower
monthly premiums against the potential for
unpredictable, expensive out-of-pocket
costs in plans with higher deductibles, said
Caroline Pearson, a vice president of the pri-
vate market analysis rm. There is a risk
that patients could forgo needed care when
faced with high up-front deductibles.
Responding to the Avalere study, the
Obama administration acknowledged the
new plans arent as generous as employer
coverage, but said they nonetheless repre-
sent a big improvement over currently avail-
able individual policies, which can have
gaps in coverage and even larger out-of-
pocket costs.
Also on Wednesday, the administration
unveiled premiums and plan choices for 36
states where the federal government is tak-
ing the lead to cover uninsured residents.
Insurance markets that go live Oct. 1 will
offer subsidized private coverage to people
who do not have health insurance on the job,
including the uninsured and those who cur-
rently buy their own policies.
Before new tax credits that work like a dis-
count for most consumers, premiums for a
mid-range silver benchmark plan will
average $328 a month nationally for an
individual, the administration report found.
Beneath that average are wide differences for
individuals, depending on where they live,
how much they make, and other factors.
Health and Human Services Secretary
Kathleen Sebelius said the average consumer
will be able to choose among more than 50
plan options.
For millions of Americans, these new
options will nally make health insurance
work within their budgets, Sebelius told
reporters in a preview call Tuesday. The mar-
kets called exchanges in some states
are the only place where consumers will
be able to get a tax credit for health insur-
ance.
HHS estimated that about 95 percent of
consumers will have two or more insurers to
choose from. And the administration says
premiums will generally be lower than what
congressional budget experts estimated
when the legislation was being debated.
About one-fourth of the insurers participat-
ing are new to the individual coverage mar-
ket, a sign that could be good for competi-
tion.
But averages can be misleading. When it
comes to the new health care law, individuals
can get dramatically different results based
on their particular circumstances.
Where you live, the plan you pick, family
size, age, tax credits based on your income,
and even tobacco use will all impact the bot-
tom line. All those variables could make the
system hard to navigate.
For example, the average individual pre-
mium for a benchmark policy known as the
second-lowest-cost silver plan ranges
from a low of $192 in Minnesota to a high
of $516 in Wyoming. Thats the sticker
price, before tax credits.

premium, high deductible
FBI: Navy Yard gunman
left note about radio waves
WASHINGTON Washington Navy Yard
gunman Aaron Alexis left a note saying he
was driven to kill by
months of bombardment
with extremely low-fre-
quency radio waves, the
FBI said Wednesday in a
disclosure that explains
the phrase he etched on
his shotgun: My ELF
Weapon!
Alexis did not target
particular individuals
during the Sept. 16
attack in which he killed 12 people, and
there is no indication the shooting
stemmed from any workplace dispute, said
Valerie Parlave, assistant director in charge
of the FBIs Washington field office.
Instead, authorities said, his behavior in
the weeks before the shooting and evidence
recovered from his hotel room, backpack
and other belongings reveal a man increas-
ingly in the throes of paranoia and delu-
sions.
State Dept audit:
Benghazi review wasnt biased
WASHINGTON A State Department
audit found Wednesday that an investiga-
tion into last years deadly attack on a U.S.
diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, was
unbiased, countering claims from GOP
members of Congress that it lacked inde-
pendence. But the audit says weaknesses
persist in how the State Department identi-
es threats overseas.
The assessment by the departments
inspector general backs up the Benghazi
review chaired by former Ambassador
Thomas Pickering and former Joint Chiefs
Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen, who were the
subjects of a sharp examination from
Republicans on the House oversight com-
mittee last week.

UNITED NATIONS The United States,
the worlds largest arms dealer, has joined
106 other nations in signing a treaty that
regulates global arms trading, but there is
strong resistance in the Senate, which must
ratify it.
Secretary of State John Kerry, who signed
the Arms Trade Treaty on Wednesday, said it
was a signicant step in keeping the
world safe and preventing terrorists and
others from obtaining conventional
weapons.
The Obama administrations move is seen
as critical to the treatys success. The U.S.
was the 91st country to sign, but the treaty
will not take effect until 50 nations have
ratied it. Only six had ratied the treaty as
of Wednesday.
Many of the worlds other top arms
exporters have yet to sign and opposition
in the Senate, backed by the powerful
National Rie Association, means U.S. rat-
ification will be difficult. A two-thirds
majority in the 100-member Senate, where
Democrats now hold a slight edge, is needed
to ratify a treaty.
This is about reducing the risks of inter-
national transfers of conventional arms
that will be used to carry out the worlds
worst crimes, Kerry said.
He said it would require other countries to
put in place the same arms export restric-
tions that the United States already has in
force.
This is about keeping Americans safe
and keeping America strong, and this is
about promoting international peace and
global security, he said.
Addressing U.S. critics of the treaty, the
former senator said fears that it would under-
mine Americans constitutional right to
keep and bear arms are not grounded in real-
i t y.
For one, the treaty does not regulate
domestic weapons sales.
This treaty will not diminish anyones
freedom, he said. It recognizes the free-
dom of both individuals and states to
obtain, possess, and use arms for legitimate
purposes.

UNITED NATIONS Iran showed new
urgency Wednesday to revive stalled negoti-
ations with six world powers over its disput-
ed nuclear activities, seeking to ease crip-
pling international sanctions as quickly as
possible.
New Iranian President Hasan Rouhani said
we have nothing to hide as diplomats pre-
pared to meet Thursday to discuss the way
forward on the negotiations that have been
on hold since April.
Rouhanis Foreign Minister Javad Zarif,
who has been tasked as the lead nuclear
negotiator, said he hoped his counterparts
from six world powers the U.S., Britain,
France, Russia, China and Germany have
the same political will as we do to start seri-
ous negotiations with a view to reaching an
agreement within the shortest span of time.
Zarif will be a part of the Thursday meeting
to discuss the next round of negotiations in
Geneva, expected in October.
The West suspects Iran is trying to build a
nuclear weapon and has imposed crippling
sanctions on Tehran that have slashed its
vital oil exports and severely restricted its
international bank transfers. Ination has
surged and the value of the local currency has
plunged.

Letters to the editor
Kansas City Star
I
t must be terribly frustrating to work
for the Congressional Budget Ofce.
Every year around this time, the
group issues a report about just how grim
the nations long-term nancial health is.
Afew lawmakers wring their hands and say
they will get serious about xing the prob-
lem, but then they dont. We, as a nation,
rush toward a debt-induced disaster if no
one heeds the warning.
The nonpartisan budget ofce issued its
new forecast this month. It offered one
glimmer of hope. Short term, the federal
budget is in better shape today than in
recent years.
Thank a slowly recovering economy,
sequestration spending cuts and a few tax
changes. Annual decits that topped $1
trillion in recent years have shrunk to their
smallest level since 2008. They will con-
tinue to decline until about 2018.
Then, if nothing changes, everything
starts going haywire again.
Budget decits will increase each year,
driving up the national debt.
Washington just isnt listening.
Lawmakers, activists and lobbyists get
twisted up over discretionary spending pro-
grams that the budget group forecasts will
remain basically at over the next 25
years. The Farm Bill, for all its other prob-
lems, stalled over the minor (in the grand
scheme of things) expense of food stamps.
Even now, partisans are bickering over
what should be a routine increase to the
debt ceiling so that the government can
spend money Congress already authorized.
Default and a government shutdown loom
while Republicans insist on ghting over
the Affordable Care Act again, a battle they
cannot win given that President Barack
Obama holds a veto pen and the Senate has
a Democratic majority.
The Congressional Budget Ofce once
again has given America a peek at its
future. If it comes to pass, in 2038,
Americans will hold few fond memories for
those who were warned that scal disaster
was coming and did nothing.
Candidates behaving badly
Editor,
We have a candidate for San Mateo City
Council who has placed his signs in the
right of way at the San Mateo freeway
exits.
Two weeks ago, public works and some
councilmembers told him to remove
them. They also told him that Caltrans
would notify him in writing and also fine
him for posting signs in the right of way.
Regardless of the ethical advice, his
signs have multiplied and are now at
every exit and entrance.
So, the next time you see a candidates
sign in the right of way, ask yourself
what kind of councilmember is this candi-
date going to make? He knows the rules
and refuses to abide by them?

New trees for Burlingame Avenue
Editor,
I share Arthur Colloms disappointment
with the trees on the new Burlingame
Avenue (letter to the editor, New trees on
Burlingame Avenue in the Sept. 23 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal).
It is true that these trees seem not well
maintained. More importantly, why
should Burlingame miss out on this once-
in-a-century opportunity to make a name
for itself? By choosing a basic street tree,
like Musashino Zelkova, I suppose the
city wants to have a more narrow (given
the limited space) and easy-to-maintain
tree. But to do so, Burlingame may have
missed out on doing something bigger
and perhaps creating an impressive tradi-
tion and reputation (we are the city of
trees after all).
Why not choose a tree that will flower
spectacularly once a year, like the Spire
Flowering Cherry Tree (perfect for tight
spaces, just as an example). Imagine how
the avenue would look when all 40 trees
bloom at the same time. Burlingamers and
a broader public might just want to come
and see something magnificent. Wouldnt
it be nice to have two celebrations a year
one in spring when the trees bloom
and one in the holiday season in
December? It is a matter of vision and
ambition.

Rep. Speiers teachable moment
Editor,
Our congressional representative Jackie
Speier created a teachable moment recent-
ly with her visual presentation of high-
end food and beverages routinely con-
sumed by her comrades in the House of
Representatives during their various out-
ings around the world. This was put in
context along with the Republican domi-
nated House having voted down the con-
tinuation of present levels of food stamp
allocations for those of us in America
who, having lost jobs and prospects for
making a satisfactory income to buy
food, utilize the food stamp program to
keep nourishment on the table.
This contrast was magnified with the
Ted Cruz moment where he created the
filibuster to nowhere, or better labeled
as the Filibuster, that promoted Cruz as
self-appointed standard bearer for the 1
percent against the rest of us.
Showboating to the extent of angering
even his own party of the 1 percent, he
pretends to fight for financial sanity by
demanding the end of the Affordable Care
Act on the basis of unaffordability in
favor of less taxation of his 1 percent.
These were both teachable moments
indeed. Lets see who gets the lesson.

Starbucks CEO and open carry events
Editor,
Recently, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz
asked that all his customers with the
exception of law enforcement ofcers to
no longer bring guns into any of his
Starbucks branches (Starbucks progres-
sive ways draw re on guns in the Sept.
19 edition of the Daily Journal). This is in
response to the open carry movement
which has plagued Starbucks for close to
three years and raises the question as to
why anyone would bring a weapon in an
open holster into a crowded coffee shop
and assume that this makes a clear and plau-
sible statement about a citizens Second
Amendment rights. Congratulations to Mr.
Schultz for nally challenging this charade
and stepping in himself to restore order and
simple common sense.

Gun violence and al-Qaida
Editor,
President Obama continues to lament the
gun violence of the Navy shipyard
shooting. Yet we dont hear much lament
from his administration about the scores of
Christians being slaughtered by the AK-
47s of radical Islamists in Kenya. Maybe
that is because, as the president assured us,
al-Qaida is dead.

What the fork?
A
fork, just a single, plain, silver,
unassuming fork. And yet, the reac-
tion was anything but common. A
fork? Really? Ametal fork? I cant remember
the last time I received one of these!
The impetus of the
amazed chatter work-
ing its way down the
rows and aisle was not
the fork itself but its
location on a meal
tray on an airplane in
the coach section. Did
I also mention there
was a meal? Included in
the price of the ight
ticket, even? And a
glass of wine, not even from a box. It was
like I had died and gone to air travel heaven
without shelling out for the overpriced
upgrade. Sure, the airline also scrimped on
the pillows, charged haggard parents 15
bucks for some sort of preloaded DVD con-
traption and ran out of champagne splits
before the beverage cart even made one
round but still. Ametal fork!
Afork may seem like no big deal for those
fancy folks who put their feet up in rst
class on a regular basis to chug complimen-
tary beverages and enjoy not having to
ght others off for prized overhead luggage
space. Once upon a time, back in the pre-
9/11 era before safety concerns and a fees-
for-everything corporate mentality took
hold, a fork was also nothing more but an
expected item with an expected in-ight
meal that might even taste a little like real
food.
Nowadays, a fork is a luxury item, right
up there with pillows, blankets, headphones
and on some ights even the perfunc-
tory bag of peanuts. Even those overpriced
in-ight snack boxes and lovingly reheated
meals for purchase come only with a napkin
and maybe a plastic spork.
But wait isnt a fork also a potential
weapon, right up there with snow globes,
metal emery boards and travel-sized bottles
of shampoo greater than 4 ounces? How is it
the TSAcan justify feeling up any woman
with an underwire or man with potentially
suspicious, ahem, junk and yet the minute
the seat belt sign is off just pass out atware
willy-nilly to a gaggle of passengers
already mentally stretched to the breaking
point by fussy babies, zero legroom, turbu-
lence and what feels like priority boarding
for every special demographic but them.
These are not people who need sharp
objects; these are people who need compli-
mentary cocktails, Valium, fuzzy socks and
a good set of earplugs.
And yet they get a fork which is only one
step away from a knife. In fact, some might
argue with a little in-seat ling from the
now-allowed metal emery board, a fork can
be just as dangerous an object.
The real peril in the real fork, however, is
that it reminds passengers of a bygone era
when ying was often considered exciting
and fun rather than a series of unfortunate
events required to move from point At o
point B. The fork is a sign of days when y-
ing was more than a mode of transportation;
it was an experience.
Now, ying is still an experience
although many people in this last decade of
color-coded safety assessments, random pat-
downs and fees for just about everything
short of using the lavatory would be hard-
pressed to use that term without a bit of a
grimace.
Admittedly, nobody should really get this
happy over actual utensils. Theres certainly
more to ying and more to vacation
than feeling pampered in any minor dose.
That said, who am I or any passenger to turn
down even the smallest indulgence? Some
could say even after years and years of air-
lines taking a multi-pronged approach to
frugality at the expense of customer service,
its about tine.

NEWYORK Wal-Mart spooked the
stock market Wednesday helping
push stocks lower for a fth straight
day.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
61 points, or 0.4 percent, to
15,273.26. The Dow was dragged down
by Wal-Mart after Bloomberg News
reported that the worlds biggest retailer
is cutting orders with suppliers as
unsold merchandise piles up.
Wal-Mart spokesman Dave Tovar said
the report was misleading and that in
some categories, the discounter was
ordering more, and in other areas it was
ordering less.
This is business as usual, Tovar
said, noting that it was part of an ongo-
ing process of managing the seasonali-
ty of the business based on consumer
demand.
Wal-Mart fell $1.10, or 1.5 percent,
to $74.65, taking the rest of the market
with it.
The Standard & Poors 500 index fell
ve points, or 0.3 percent, to 1,692.77.
Its ve-day losing streak is the longest
this year.
The Nasdaq composite lost seven
points, or 0.2 percent, to 3,761.10.
Worries about the economy and the
growing possibility of a government
shutdown also continue to weigh on
investors minds. In just a week, the
mood of investors has shifted from gid-
diness over more Federal Reserve stimu-
lus to concern that a government shut-
down could harm the fragile U.S. eco-
nomic recovery.
Two nancial deadlines for the U.S.
government loom. Congress needs to
pass a funding bill to keep the govern-
ment operating after Oct. 1, when the
Federal governments new scal year
starts. There is also the issue of the
nations debt ceiling, which needs to be
raised before Oct. 17, Treasury Secretary
Jacob Lew told Congress in a letter
Wednesday.
The Republican-controlled House of
Representatives has passed a temporary
spending bill and a vote in the
Democrat-controlled Senate is expected
later this week. However, a conict
between the two parties over funding the
Affordable Care Act, also known as
Obamacare, has yet to be resolved.
Both chambers of Congress have yet to
address the issue of the debt ceiling.
The action over the last few days has
been far more tied to the intractably of
Congress and the president than the
concerns about what the Federal Reserve
is going to do next, said Jack Ablin,
chief investment ofcer at BMO Private
Bank, which manages $66 billion in
assets.
Ablin said investors have bad memo-
ries from August 2011, the last time
Congress and President Barack Obama
fought over the debt ceiling and the
budget, which ultimately led Standard &
Poors to downgrade the credit rating of
the U.S.
Although the U.S. and Europe are in
better shape two years later, there are
concerns about real damage to the econ-
omy if the budget battle turns ugly. U.S.
economic growth slowed considerably
in the third quarter of 2011, the same
quarter as the downgrade. The slowdown
was caused partly by a drop in non-
defense-related spending.
The Dow went through nearly three
weeks of triple-digit gains and losses
during that month, a rough ride that
made even hardened Wall Street traders
nauseous.
All were doing now is worrying,
Ablin said.
Wall Street is also looking to next
Friday, Oct. 4, when investors get the
September jobs report. If hiring is
strong enough, the Federal Reserve
could decide to start pulling back on its
economic stimulus at a two-day policy
meeting later in the month.
At the end of its last meeting on Sept.
18, traders had expected a small cut in
the Feds $85 billion monthly bond pur-
chases, which are aimed at keeping
long-term interest rates low to encour-
age borrowing. When the Fed kept its
bond-buying intact, the Dow and S&P
500 index soared to all-time highs.
Wal-Mart, Washington worries whack market
By Andrew Miga
WASHINGTON It soon could cost
49 cents to mail a letter.
The postal Board of Governors said
Wednesday it wants to raise the price
of a rst-class stamp by 3 cents, citing
the agencys precarious nancial con-
dition and the uncertain prospects for
postal overhaul legislation in
Congress.
Of the options currently available
to the Postal Service to align costs and
revenues, increasing postage prices is
a last resort that reects extreme nan-
cial challenges, board chairman
Mickey Barnett wrote customers.
The rate proposal must be approved
by the independent Postal Regulatory
Commission. If the commission
accepts it, the increase would become
effective Jan. 26.
Under federal law the post ofce can-
not raise its prices more than the rate
of ination unless it gets approval
from the commission. In seeking the
increase, Barnett cited extraordinary
and exceptional circumstances which
have contributed to continued nancial
losses by the agency.
As part of the rate increase request,
the cost for each additional ounce of
rst-class mail would increase a penny
to 21 cents while the price of mailing
a postcard would rise by a cent, to 34
cents. The cost to mail a letter to an
international destination would jump 5
cents to $1.15.
Many consumers wont feel the
increase immediately. Forever stamps
bought before an increase still would
cover rst-class postage. The price of
new forever stamps would be at the
higher rate, if approved.
The Postal Service also said it would
request price increases totaling 5.9 per-
cent for bulk mail, periodicals and pack-
age service rates, according to a ling to
be made with the commission Thursday.
Media and marketing businesses that
rely on postal services say a big
increase in rates could hurt them and
lower postal volume and revenues.
Rafe Morrissey, the Greeting Card
Associations vice president of postal
affairs, said the rate increases were no
substitute for common-sense, structur-
al reforms and the group hoped they
would be rejected.
The post ofce expects to lose $6
billion this year and is seeking help
from Congress to x its nances.
Barnett said the increases, if
approved, would generate $2 billion
annually for his agency. The agency
last raised postage rates on Jan. 27,
including a penny increase in the cost
of rst-class mail to 46 cents.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska Aglitch in
the Apple Maps app on newer iPhones
and iPads guides people up to a runway
at a major Alaska airport instead of
sending them on the proper route to
the terminal, an airport ofcial said
Wednesday.
The map actually stops at the tarmac,
but twice this month, wayward drivers
have continued across an active run-
way.
It doesnt actually tell you to cross,
but the problem is, people see the ter-
minal then at that point, because they
are right there, and they just continue
across, said Fairbanks International
Airport spokeswoman Angie Spear.
There were no injuries in either the
Sept. 6 incident or the second one last
Friday, mainly because they both hap-
pened early in the morning, between
ights.
Obviously, it could have been a
very, very, very dangerous situation
had they come during a ight departure
or arrival, Spear said.
That entrance to the taxiway has now
been barricaded from trafc.
The rst incident involved an out-of-
state visitor trying to return a rental
car before a ight, and the second was
an Alaska resident trying to get to the
airport.
Once the control tower and airport
personnel noticed the cars, the people
were safely escorted away.
Both parties that did it said they
were following the directions on their
iPhone, Spear said.
In July, state Rep. Les Gara, D-
Anchorage, had a close call of his own
when he was trying to make a ight
after a meeting.
He was in an unfamiliar part of
Fairbanks and decided to use his
iPhone map app to take the shortest
route to the airport.
Gara said the app took him to some
weird places in Fairbanks, and then to
the small plane airport near the inter-
national airport.

SEATTLE In the eeting moments
I had with Amazons new Kindle Fire
tablet, I noticed one major thing: It
lost a lot of weight.
The engineers at Amazon managed to
slim down their flagship tablet in
every dimension.
The new Kindle Fire HDX is lighter by
23 percent for the smaller model and 34
percent for the full-sized one. The slim-
mer prole is made possible by a new,
lighter magnesium alloy body, a touch
screen with fewer layers than before and
a frame that is about one-quarter narrow-
er all around the edge of the screen.
Add to that the companys claim
that the processor is three times as
fast as last years Kindle Fire HD, and
Amazon.com Inc. seems to have an
attractive holiday gift option on its
hands.
In my hands, at an event for
reporters Tuesday, the weight reduc-
tion is noticeable. I own a year-old 7-
inch Kindle Fire HD and find it
chunky. Trying to read a book on it
with one hand is like doing so with a
big hardcover book. Eventually, your
wrist will need a break.

IHS study puts iPhone
5S production costs at $191
NEWYORK While the iPhone 5S includes a handful
of new features that set it apart from Apples previous
model, the actual cost to make the phone hasnt changed
very much, according to a new study.
An IHS Inc. teardown of the new smartphone found that
the components that make up a 16-gigabyte iPhone 5S
cost $190.70. Manufacturing costs add another $8, bring-
ing the total production cost to $198.70.
In comparison, the iPhone 5, which hit the market a
year ago, cost $197 to make.
Andrew Rassweiler, IHS senior director for cost bench-
marking services, noted that the 5S includes features new
to the smartphone world, such as a 64-bit apps processor
and a ngerprint identication sensor, without a signi-
cant jump in costs.
The research rm also dissected a 16-gigabyte iPhone
5C, a cheaper version of the 5S, and put its total produc-
tion cost at $173.45, including $7 in manufacturing
costs.
New airline union boss says not afraid of strikes
DALLAS The new leader of a major union in the air-
line industry says hell increase lobbying, oppose out-
sourcing, and help unions strengthen ties to local com-
munities.
Harry Lombardo, who started out cleaning buses in
Philadelphia in 1972, was elected president of the
Transport Workers Union, or TWU, during its convention
in Las Vegas, the union said Wednesday.
The 64-year-old replaces James C. Little, who led the
union for seven years and tried to cooperate with American
Airlines to limit concessions on pay and benets, only to
see the airline eliminate thousands of TWU jobs after it
led for bankruptcy protection.

ANAHEIM The playoff-bound Oakland
Athletics hadnt lost consecutive games in a
month while pushing for the majors best
record.
Then they ran into Jered Weaver and the
Los Angeles Angels, who relished a chance
to slow the As roll into October.
Weaver pitched seven innings of ve-hit
ball, Josh Hamilton drove in two runs, and
the Angels did a bit more damage to
Oaklands home-eld playoff hopes with a
3-1 victory Wednesday.
Dan Straily (10-8) allowed seven hits
while pitching into the seventh inning of
his rst loss since Aug. 17 for the As (94-
65), who began the day trailing Boston by
one game for the best record in baseball. The
Red Sox play at Colorado later Wednesday.
The two-time AL West champion As had
the unfortunate luck to face the Angels dur-
ing the best stretch of their big-budget
rivals disappointing season.
Oakland, which hadnt lost back-to-back
games since Aug. 20-23, lost four of six
over the past two weeks to the Angels.
This is a good division, said Coco
Crisp, who scored the As only run. The
Angels are obviously one of the premier
teams along with Texas, and weve come
along and done a good job ourselves. So it is
fun playing in this division against this cal-
iber of teams, but it denitely makes it
tougher.
Oakland usually has trouble with Weaver,
who was 7-1 with an 0.84 ERAin his previ-
ous 10 starts against the As. His personal
string of 29 2-3 consecutive scoreless
innings against the As ended in the sixth
with Jed Lowries sacrice y, but Weaver
nished strong before Dane De La Rosa and
Ernesto Frieri who got his 37th save
nished off Oakland.
Straily struck out ve,
couldnt quite match
Weaver despite another
strong start. Los Angeles
scored two unearned runs
in the fth in a rally cat-
alyzed by rst baseman
Daric Bartons error.
Straily chalked it up to
experience for next
months playoff tests.
Obviously its not the end result we were
looking for, but I threw a lot of good pitch-
es today, Straily said. I threw a lot more
changeups and curveballs than I had been, so
there were a few positives from that.
After scoring 49 runs in a ve-game bar-
rage ending Monday, Oakland managed just
10 hits in the past two games, including
Jason Vargas four-hit gem for the Angels on
Tuesday.
The As have a day off Thursday before n-
ishing the regular season in Seattle.
Erick Aybar had three hits in the Angels
nal home game of their disappointing sea-
son. Los Angeles is unbeaten in its past 10
series while winning 23 of the past 32
games.
Weaver (11-8) nished his season impres-
sively after missing last weeks scheduled
start with tightness in his right forearm.
The Angels veteran right-hander missed
nearly two months of the early season with a
broken bone in his arm.
He bounced back with a 10-4 record since
July 2 to become only the third pitcher in AL
history to have 10 wins and a winning
record in each of his rst eight seasons,
joining Addie Joss and Andy Pettitte.
Obviously were not really playing for
much right now, but we still want to go out
and give them hell, Weaver said. It was
nice to be able to nish strong. Its kind of
bittersweet. We wish we were still playing
(next week). Thats the goal.

ALAMEDA Matt Flynn might nally
get another chance to start a game at quar-
terback in the NFL.
After being beaten out for starting gigs
the past two preseasons in Seattle and
Oakland, Flynn could start this week for the
Raiders with Terrelle Pryor recovering from
a concussion
Flynn got his rst extensive work with
the rst team at practice on Wednesday since
falling behind Pryor on the depth chart in
training camp and could start Sunday
against Washington.
Ive been in this spot before, Flynn
said Wednesday. This
isnt new for me. Im
going to prepare like I am
going to play. I have to
do that to be ready just in
case. Im going to do
everything I can to pre-
pare like I would be the
starter this week and see
where it goes from there.
Nobody knows.
Pryor has not been cleared to return to
practice yet after getting hurt late in
Monday nights loss in Denver when he was
knocked out on a helmet-to-helmet hit by
linebacker Wesley Woodyard on a quarter-
back draw. Pryor thought Woodyard should
have been ned for the
play but it was deter-
mined to be legal by the
NFL because Pryor was a
runner between the tack-
les.
Pryor remained in the
game for two plays after
the hit as coach Dennis
Allen said he showed no
signs of a concussion in
the immediate aftermath. NFL spokesman
Brian McCarthy said all indications are that
the Raiders handled the situation properly.
The union routinely looks into how teams
handle all concussions and spokesman Carl
Francis said the NFLPAhad no comment on
the particulars of Pryors case.
Pryor was cleared to attend meetings and
have physical activity but needs to pass two
more hurdles to play. He was taking a con-
cussion test later Wednesday to determine
whether he can practice Thursday and then
would still need to be cleared for contact.
I think it was very mild, because Im
doing very well, Pryor said. They said Im
taking very good steps toward being able to
play.
Allen said the decision on Pryors status
is out of his hands until the doctors deter-
mine Pryor is fully healed.

College of San Mateo football fans, you are
not alone.
As the minutes came off the clock of what was
a 14-7 win for CSM on the road against Diablo
Valley College, the Bulldog webcast appeared to
have a glitch of some kind.
What do you mean its the fourth quarter and
CSM only has 105 yards of total offense? And
theyre actually winning? And Diablo Valley
only has 97? These are entire game stats and not
just the quarter? Whats going on here?
Consider head coach Bret Pollack among
those who, even a couple days after the actual
game, has no clue how exactly his team sur-
vived such an eerie week of football.
It was a struggle doing anything, Pollack
said. It was a struggle getting our game balls to
the game. It was a struggle getting on the bus.
We forgot our kicking ball. It was a struggle.
Many things were a struggle Friday night. So,
we move on. We got out with a win, we try to x
it and do the best we can.
The xing Pollack refers to revolves around
the offense primarily, which scored one offen-
sive touchdown Friday night and gained only
105 yards this a week after putting up more
than 400 against Chabot who, Pollack said,
plays a similar style defense as the Vikings.
Its the rst time Ive seen it, Pollack said,
referring to a lot of statistical anomalies from
the game like a combined 202 yards of
offense by both teams. It wasnt effort. There
were just a lot of mental miscues. Alot of missed
assignments. And a very good defensive team.
Put those things together and thats what youre
to get.
The good thing is, two-thirds of the team is
playing well special teams and defense. So,
there was plenty of reason for those guys to be
excited and hyped up, stay positive and work
hard. The offensive side struggled and just could-
nt get through it. Thank goodness they did well
enough to not stop the defense and special
teams from winning the game.
In spite of the offensive struggles, CSMs
defense is hitting their stride.
It was a complete domination by our
defense, Pollack said. The only thing we
needed to do offensively was just stay out of the
way. Our defensive line dominated their offen-
sive line. Thats the bottom line.
The guys did a phenomenal job of pressuring
the quarterback and stopping the run. Theyre
playing fast. The whole team is playing hard
and thats what Im happy about. And thats the
path we want to keep.
While the offense looks to nd some consis-
tency, the defense will face a more formidable
test at home this weekend against Modesto
College at 1 p.m. The Pirates have put up
impressive numbers this season, going for an
average of 507 yards per game and 43 points
scored per.
Teejay Gordon is a threat throwing the ball.
Hes completed 77 percent of his passes for 657
yards. On the ground, Anthony Cota is the fea-
tured back. Hes averaging 91 yards rushing per
game. He also leads the team with four touch-
downs.
Theyre always explosive offensively,
Pollack said. They put pressure on you with
trick plays, gimmick plays, option principles.
So, theyre sound. Theyre very sound. Itll be a
big test for the defense without a doubt. They
want to run 259 plays if they could. They want
to go fast, fast, fast. Itll be up to us to control
the football, control the tempo and keep them
on the sideline.
And thats where the Bulldog offense and their
ability to control the clock and sustain drives
will be huge the Pirates can score in bunches.
But they cant do that if the CSM offense is on
the eld.
Better decision-making, Pollack said. Its
not playing hard. Its better decision-making
especially from the quarterback position. We
need better quarterback play.
We need to have a better understanding of our
opponents. These guys are not used to ... really
studying and understanding their opponents
strengths and weaknesses. And focusing on the
mental side of the game. Were physically pre-
pared, were playing hard, our special teams is
playing well and now its the mental side of the
game. Are we preparing for the opponent like
we should?
CSM needs better mental approach
Giants 6, Dodgers 4
SAN FRANCISCO Barry Zito won in what
likely was his nal hurrah for San Francisco,
Pablo Sandoval backed him with a two-run
homer and the Giants beat the Los Angeles
Dodgers 6-4 on Wednesday night.
Tony Abreu hit a bases-loaded triple to stake
Zito to a quick 3-0 lead in the second, then added
an RBI double in the sixth as last years World
Series champions put themselves in position
for a rare home series victory if they can win
Thursday nights rubber game with the NLWest
champion Dodgers.
Zito departed with little fanfare and nary one
last standing ovation from the sellout crowd of
41,377 because he was replaced between
innings.
He outpitched Ricky Nolasco (13-11), whose
late-September struggles have the Dodgers a bit
concerned with the playoffs looming.
The right-hander is 0-2 over his last three out-
ings since getting victories in four consecutive
starts and seven straight decisions.
Zito (5-11), making his rst start since Sept.
2 at San Diego, snapped a 13-start winless
stretch and eight-game losing streak includ-
ing his previous four starts since beating
Oakland on May 30.
The 2002 AL Cy Young Award winner across
the bay with the Athletics, Zito signed a $126
million, seven-year contract before the 2007
season.

Whats not to like?
Apparently the biggest thing working against Heneghan
is he wasnt a star by the time he was a sophomore in high
school, which is when the college recruiting process seems
to begin nowadays. College recruiters identify elite quarter-
backs early and stay on them throughout their high school
career and try to get them to commit as early as possible.
But that then excludes quality players who blossom in
their junior or senior years as most top-notch schools have
already settled on their quarterbacks of the future.
I think the recruiting process starts so early that they
(college recruiters) miss (guys) in the rst go around. Then
they get their guy, Newton said, and the late bloomer falls
through the cracks.
All of the general knocks against guys playing in college
can be thrown out the window in Heneghans case:
Plays for too small a school: a lot of college players
come out of tiny high schools.
Hes a system guy: seems every team from high
school to the pros runs a spread offense similar to what
the Knights run. Heneghan, right now, is the perfect sys-
tem guy.
Level of competition is too low: doesnt matter who
Heneghan has played against, hes produced. For everyone
who says he threw for 383 yards and six touchdowns against
only San Mateo, Newton will gladly show you the tape of
his 412-yard performance against San Angelo Central in
Texas, a team Newton said had nine Division I players and
has a shot at winning the Texas state title in the largest
school category.
Just watch the tape, Newton said. Just watch him
against San Angelo Central.
Newton said recruiters from University of Washington are
supposed to be coming to the Menlo-MyClymonds game
Oct. 4 in Oakland. Newton is hoping someones eyes will be
open because, on top of everything else, Heneghan is no
prima donna.
Hes condent but humble, Newton said. He realizes
hes going to have to compete (for the spot) no matter where
he goes. Hes ready to do that. He has the demeanor and
intestinal fortitude to deal with that.
Wherever Heneghan goes to college, that school will get
the epitome of a student-athlete.
And one hell of a quarterback.

For the second year in a row, the Serra and Buhach Colony
football teams will meet on a Thursday night, instead of the
traditional Friday night usually reserved for high school
football.
Just a bit of creative scheduling, said Serra athletic direc-
tor Dean Ayoob.
After traveling to Atwater in the San Joaquin Valley last
season, Serra will play host to the Thunder this season at
Chabot College in Hayward at 7 p.m., which is just on the
other side of the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge. Ayoob said it
allows the friends and families of the teams East Bay play-
ers a chance to watch their kids without having to cross the
bridge and pay the $5 toll.
We have quite a few players on the roster from the East
Bay and this gives them a chance to play in front of family
and friends, Ayoob said. Its something I learned at
[Kansas University, where Ayoob earned his undergraduate
degree]. (Then basketball coach) Roy Williams always
played a game in his recruits hometown.
Last year, Serra converted a 2-point conversion late in the
game to pull out a 36-35 win. This year, the Thunder are 2-2
and coming off a 30-24 win over Whitney of Rocklin.
Buhach Colony is averaging just over 300 yards of offense
per game, a majority of which comes on the ground.
Serra is coming off a 49-13 win over Encinal, racking up
618 yards of offense in the process, including 476 on the
ground.
Ayoob is expecting a big turnout tonight in Hayward,
including a large contingent from Atwater.
Every Central Valley team weve played has traveled pret-
ty well, Ayoob said.

Tara VanDerveer to receive Legends of Coaching
LOS ANGELES Stanfords Tara VanDerveer will receive
the Legends of Coaching award in April, recognizing col-
lege basketball coaches who exemplify John Woodens
high standards of coaching and personal integrity.
The award will be presented at the Los
Angeles Athletic Club in conjunction
with the Wooden Award presentation to
the male and female college players of
the year. Woodens granddaughter,
Christy Impelman, announced the win-
ner on Wednesday.
Woodens daughter, Nan, says that as a
fan of womens basketball, her father
would have been honored to present the
award to VanDerveer.
She joins retired Tennessee coach Pat Summitt as the only
women to receive the award. VanDerveer will be the third
womens coach to be honored. Geno Auriemma of
Connecticut won last year.
VanDerveer is 742-152 in 27 seasons at Stanford. She led
her teams to ve consecutive Final Four appearances from
2008-12, and the Cardinal have been the Pac-12 champions
every year since 2001. She enters this season needing six
wins to become the fth womens coach to reach 900.

youve got a team like this around you, they
can make you look great. They did all of that
today and the whole series. Im so proud of the
boys. ... They didnt inch.
It could have been over shortly after the
start just inside the Golden Gate Bridge.
Oracles hulking black catamaran with a
giant No. 17 on each hull buried its twin
bows in a wave approaching the rst mark and
Barker turned his red-and-black cat around the
buoy with a 7-second lead.
The New Zealanders were game despite
being stranded on match point for a week.
Spithill and crew still had to sail their best to
keep from becoming the third American loser
in 30 years.
Oracle narrowed Team New Zealands lead to
3 seconds turning onto the third leg, the only
time the boats sail into the wind.
New Zealand had the lead the rst time the
boats crossed on opposite tacks. By the time
they crossed again, the American boat with
only one American on its 11-man crew had
the lead.
As Oracle worked to stay ahead, tactician
Ben Ainslie, a four-time Olympic gold medal-
ist from Britain, implored his mates by say-
ing, This is it. This is it. Working your
(rears) off.
It had to be a gut-wrenching moment in New
Zealand coming so close to winning the
oldest trophy in international sports a week
ago, only to see Oracle suddenly improve its
speed.
We knew we had a ght on our hands,
Barker said. Its really frustrating. The gains
that they made were just phenomenal. They
did just an amazing job of sorting out their
boat. Its a good thing for us they didnt do it
earlier. I am incredibly proud of our team and
what we achieved. But we didnt get that last
one we needed to take the cup back to New
Zealand. Its just very hard to swallow.
Oracles shore team had made changes to the
black cat every night in its big boatshed on
Pier 80 to make its cat a speed freak.
As Spithill rounded the third mark onto the
downwind fourth leg, his catamaran sprang
onto its hydrofoils at 35 mph, its hulls com-
pletely out of the water, and headed for histo-
ry. Anal sprint across the wind on the reach-
ing fth leg resulted in a 44-second victory.
There were hugs and handshakes on the boat
crewed by four Australians, two Kiwis, and one
sailor each from the United States, Britain,
Italy, Holland and Antigua.
Ellison, who has spent an estimated $500
million the last 11 years in pursuing, winning
and now defending the silver trophy, hopped
on board and was sprayed with champagne by
the celebrating crew.
Things werent always so jubilant, of
course, but Spithill refused to let his team fold
after the penalties were announced four days
before racing started.
How big was this win?
In sailing terms, it was the equivalent of the
Boston Red Sox sweeping the nal four games
of the 2004 ALCS over the New York Yankees,
the only 3-0 comeback in major league histo-
ry. Its also comparable to the Philadelphia
Flyers overcoming a 0-3 decit to beat the
Boston Bruins in the 2010 NHLplayoffs.
As stirring of a comeback as it was for
Spithill and his mates, it was a staggering
loss for Team New Zealand. Barker, 41, was
looking for redemption after losing the
Americas Cup to Alinghi of Switzerland in
2003 and then steering the losing boat in
2007, also against Alinghi.
For me, my job is to support the guys
because theyre pretty smashed, said Grant
Dalton, the managing director of Team New
Zealand who also is one of the grinders on the
boat. Theyre feeling it pretty bad. ... The
country is really devastated.
Team New Zealand was funded in part by its
government and its future is uncertain.
Barker was gracious in defeat.
To Oracle, amazing. We thought a couple
of weeks ago that it was sort of in our favor,
and the way they improved and turned things
around is just incredible. It was unbelievable,
he said.
This was the rst time the Americas Cup
was raced inshore and San Francisco Bay pro-
vided a breathtaking racecourse.
The catamarans were the vision of Ellison
and his sailing team CEO, Russell Coutts,
who is now a ve-time Americas Cup winner.
Powered by a 131-foot wing sail, the cats
have hit 50 mph, faster than the speed limit
on the Golden Gate Bridge.

Five things to watch for in 49ers-Rams:
Familiar foes
Besides meeting twice a year, last season they
played nearly 10 quarters, with the rst NFLtie
in four seasons and a Rams victory late in over-
time in the rematch. While both sides
bemoaned missed opportunities, they loved
what Fisher called knock-down, drag-out
games that Harbaugh noted were hotly contest-
ed.
Thats football in the good old days, the
good old Big Ten football you feel like
youre playing Wisconsin or Michigan State
again, Rams linebacker James Laurinaitis said.
S-L-O-W starts
The Rams have trailed by double digits all
three games, overcoming an 11-point decit
against Arizona, falling a TD shy after Atlanta
built a 21-point bulge, and coming up empty
against the Cowboys.
The last two games, the 49ers offense also
has been a non-starter. Colin Kaepernick was
13 for 27 for 150 yards with an interception and
three sacks.
The efforts been extremely good and the
precision needs to be better, Harbaugh said.
Off and running
Kaepernick hasnt hurt defenses much with
his legs thus far, and the Rams will do their best
to keep it that way by making him pay for any
forays.
Neither team has generated much on the
ground, with Frank Gore getting just 11 carries
last week and totaling 142 yards on the season.
No Rams players are over 100 yards. St. Louis
hasnt run much because its been playing catch-
up all the time.
Neither had much luck running last year,
either, with both Gore and St. Louis Steven
Jackson averaging less than 3 yards per carry.
Penalty problems
San Francisco followed 12 penalties for 121
yards in a 29-3 rout at Seattle with six more for
48 yards in Sundays 27-7 loss to the Colts, tak-
ing the 49ers ag total to 29.
San Franciscos defense gave Indianapolis
ve rst downs by penalty, including on the
rst two snaps of the game. Three penalties
were called on cornerback Tarell Brown.
There were rst downs by penalty. And,
again, in a game that we were really a touch-
down away at 13-7, up until seven minutes left
in the fourth quarter, and there was a key drive
there, Harbaugh said. I think our defense,
thats not something we want to be about. We
dont want to be giving rst downs by penalty
and well keep working at it.
New-look linebackers
49ers All-Pro LB Aldon Smith is away from
the team indenitely to undergo treatment for
substance abuse. Fellow All-Pro Patrick Willis
is nursing a groin injury that could sideline him,
too. That means some shufing, and playing
time for untested backups.
Dan Skuta, Corey Lemonier and Demarcus
Dobbs will have larger roles in the effort to end
the rst losing streak of Harbaughs three sea-
sons.
Guys will be ready to step in there, safety
Donte Whitner said. Theres no time for excus-
es. Its all good when youre winning games
two years in a row, but a little adversity here and
well see what were made of.

WHATS ON TAP
OAKLAND Golden State gener-
al manager Bob Myers appeared
relaxed and comfortable as he leaned
back in a chair, staring out into a
small crowd of reporters and televi-
sion cameras Wednesday.
After a busy offseason in which the
team acquired swingman Andre
Iguodala, added depth in the back-
court behind Stephen Curry and
signed Jermaine ONeal to help in
the post, Myers cant help but smile.
The Warriors made it to the Western
Conference seminals last season,
and the general manager believes his
team is poised to make another deep
run into the postseason.
Ahealthy Andrew Bogut only adds
to the optimism. The 7-foot
Australian center was limited to 32
games in 2012 while dealing with
soreness in his surgically repaired
left ankle and an assortment of other
injuries.
Bogut proclaimed himself com-
pletely healthy and was a regular at
Golden States voluntary workouts,
where Myers said the big center
looked ne.
This is the player we envisioned
when we traded for him, Myers said.
Hes the player that, if you follow
the NBA, youd have seen three or
four years ago. The thing thats nice
to see with Andrew is his mental
game now. Hes just happier.
The 28-year-old Bogut, who aver-
aged a career-low 5.8 points and 7.7
rebounds last season, has missed
120 games over the past two sea-
sons.
Thats one of the primary reasons
the Warriors signed ONeal in the off-
season. The 6-11 veteran center
gives coach Mark Jackson some
much-needed exibility in the low
post to go with second-year man
Festus Ezeli as backups for Bogut.
Myers, however, believes Bogut is
ready to be a force in the middle as he
was earlier in his with Milwaukee
career before fracturing his ankle
more than 20 months ago.
Its almost like he had an injury or
toothache for a year, and all of a sud-
den its gone, Myers said. Im
happy for him. He went through a
tough road. For him just to be
healthy is great for him and great for
our team. If you were here the last two
or three weeks, hes got much more
of an offensive game than youve
seen in the past.
Warriors GM Myers cautiously optimistic

We Dont Meet Our Competition,
We Create It!
By Sean Conway
TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY
There is an old expression that refers to
crude oil as black gold. For serious gar-
deners, the term black gold might better
describe well-aged compost.
Compost, simply dened, is decomposed
plant matter. Why is compost so good for
gardens? Because it contains nitrogen,
phosphorus and potash, which are the
essential building blocks of plant health,
along with micronutrients, live organisms
and trace minerals, all of which condition
the soil and improve its health.
Many gardeners dont think about what
makes the soil beneath their feet healthy,
but good garden soil is teeming with life.
We cant see it with the naked eye because
most of the organisms are microscopic, but
healthy soil has a lot going on in it.
Compost can be added to your garden soil
at any time of year. It can either be added as
a top dressing or incorporated into the soil
at planting time. I add it to established beds
twice a year as a top dressing in early fall,
and early spring. For new beds, I incorpo-
rate generous amounts into the soil a few
weeks prior to planting making sure its
texture is consistent so I know the compost
is well aged.
Finding compost for your garden is not
hard. Today, many municipalities make
their own from collected yard waste and dis-
tribute it for free to town residents. Some
large landscape companies make their own
compost, and most of the large DIY stores
offer it for sale by the bag.
However, making your own compost is
easy, and now that fall is fast approaching,
there will be an abundance of material
available for you to use.
Yard waste such as grass clippings,
pruned branches, the remains from cutback
perennials, raked leaves and even those 40-
pound zucchinis you didnt know what to do
with all make excellent raw material for
compost. Any plant-based kitchen scraps
will work too. Just be careful to avoid
adding meat scraps in your compost pile, as
they will attract animals and will not break
down properly.
If you have the space in your yard, desig-
nate an out-of-the-way location to start
building your compost pile. If you are lim-
ited on space but still want to make your
own compost, small rotating compost bins
are available online or through gardening
catalogs. They work well but make smaller
amounts of nished compost than a large
pile will.
To begin, place a criss-crossed layer of
dead branches on the ground. The largest
sections of the branches should not exceed
2 inches in diameter. This layer will pro-
vide an air space between the ground and
your pile. Next add a layer of brown waste
such as dried leaves, straw or dead twigs.
Follow that layer with a layer of green
yard waste. By green I mean not dried.
Grass clippings, vegetable garden waste,
freshly pulled weeds, kitchen scraps and so
forth are all examples of green material.
On top of the green, add another layer of
dried material The idea is to alternate the
layers of the compost pile and try to
achieve a ratio of 3:1 brown to green.
Keep building your pile until it is at least
3 feet tall by 3 feet wide and 3 feet deep.
This will provide the critical mass your pile
will need to start breaking down into com-
post. As you build your pile, water it peri-
odically if you are experiencing periods
with little or no rain. Compost piles need
moisture to decompose properly.
Now you can sit back and wait for your
compost to cook. The pile will heat up
once it begins to decompose, and you may
even see steam rising out of it. For com-
post sooner than later, turn the pile over
with a pitchfork once every 10 days to two
weeks. This keeps the pile aerated and
allows the microbes that are at work break-
ing down the pile to perform their duties
most efciently. Turned piles can be ready
in as little as four to six months. If you are
in no hurry, the pile will still form com-
post but may take anywhere from nine
months to a year.
Once your pile has finished breaking
down, the end result will look like dark
brown/black soil. Use the black gold to
top dress your plants or to condition your
garden soil and you will see noticeable
results in no time.
Theres gold in that garden waste
Easily made in your backyard, a compost pile is an excellent source of nutrients for your
garden soil.

Eek!
Maybe you hear a rustling in
your dogs food dish. Or spot drop-
pings in the cabinet under the sink.
Or come face to face with a mouse
itself.
Besides the yuck factor, mice in
the home pose a health risk, said
Stuart Nichol of the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention.
We strongly encourage people
at this time (of year) to rodent-
proof their houses and try to pre-
vent the rodents from coming in in
the rst place, said Nichol, chief
of the CDCs Viral Special
Pathogens branch.
As the weather turns colder, mice
are looking for a little bit of
warmth and a way to get inside,
said Missy Henriksen, spokes-
woman for the National Pest
Management Association.
All they need is the smallest of
holes, as small as a coin, to gain
entry.
So a rst step in pest manage-
ment is inspecting your home for
possible entry points.
Have the screens on the chim-
ney, attic or dryer vents detached?
Is the weather stripping around
doors or windows worn? Has the
putty come loose around air condi-
tioning hoses, or where the elec-
tricity or cable wires go into the
house? Is there shrubbery close to
the house or ivy around the founda-
tion and up the outside walls that
mice can use to hide or climb?
The most effective means of
pest control is controlling the
problem before it becomes a prob-
lem, Henriksen said.
Pest control technician Shane
Flanagan usually starts with a visu-
al inspection of the property to try
to see where mice are getting in and
where they might be nesting. Hell
look in the kitchen and unnished
areas of the basement and attics.
All that insulation is perfect
nesting for mice and (other)
rodents, said Flanagan, who
works for PestNow, based in
Sterling, Va.
Then he sets traps.
Placement is key: Mice run
along walls.
If you put them in areas where
theyre running, youll
catch them, said
Flanagan.
For do-it-yourselfers, there are
many kinds of traps
available. There
are the old-
school snap traps,
as Flanagan calls them;
peanut butter works as an
effective bait. For the more
squeamish, there are snap traps in a
plastic housing, so you dont actu-
ally see the mouse when its
caught. You can also purchase
electronic traps and glue traps.
Flanagan uses snap traps.
When he returns to check them,
That gives me more of an idea of
the population, how many we
might have.
After removing any dead mice
from the traps, hell set up bait sta-
tions inside and out to try to pre-
vent further infestations. Hell also
try to seal up areas where he thinks
mice are getting in and
around the house. That
might include put-
ting copper mesh
along the dish-
washer line, a
f r e -
quent way that mice get into the
kitchen.
And hell recommend that home-
owners remove shrubbery or ivy
close to the foundation, pulling it
back at least 15 feet from the struc-
ture.
The CDC also recommends pick-
ing up pet food and water bowls
overnight, using thick
plastic or metal con-
tainers to store
grains and
pet food,
and plac-
ing bird
feed-
e r s
some distance from the house.
Pest control is based on sci-
ence, not magic; remove the con-
ducive condition, reduce the popu-
lation and maintain it, Flanagan
said.
Many pest control experts rec-
ommend against starting with bait
stations. Dead, decaying mice can
leave an odor, so its important to
know where they are so you can get
rid of them.
Mice left unchecked can cause
problems by chewing on electrical
wiring and insulation.
In addition, the CDC says mice
and rats spread more than 35 differ-
ent diseases globally.
Nichol said hantavirus pul-
monary syndrome and lymphocyt-
ic choriomeningitis virus
(LCMV), two viruses carried by
mice, are associated with
particularly severe dis-
eases. LCMV poses a par-
ticular risk to pregnant
women because it can cause
congenital defects in the
fetus, he said.
You dont have to have
direct contact with the mice to
get an infection, he said.
You can get it just from the
droppings or the con-
taminated dust.
Safely dispose of any
mice caught, and disinfect the areas
where theyve been. Ableach solu-
tion or Lysol-like spray works
well, Nichol said.
Eek! What to do when theres a mouse in the house

DALLAS From a shaded area where tod-
dlers can climb on a wooden ant or partake
in a plant petting zoo, to a place where older
kids can shoot water pistols at turbines and
watch the energy they created set off water
fountains, a new childrens garden in Dallas
aims to teach kids about science while they
have fun in the lush landscape.
We can teach better about nature in
nature, says Mary Brinegar, president and
chief executive officer of the Dallas
Arboretum.
The sprawling arboretum on the edge of
Dallas White Rock Lake unveiled the $62
million Rory Meyers Childrens Adventure
Garden over the weekend. The 8-acre space
is designed to help teach science to state and
national standards, from preschool to mid-
dle school.
Its one of more than 100 childrens gar-
dens that have sprouted across the country
since the idea became popular in the early
1990s, said Casey Sclar, executive director
of the American Public Gardens
Association. He said they range from a gar-
den inspired by fairy tales (at Delawares
Winterthur museum and gardens) to one
focusing on wellness and healing (at the
Atlanta Botanical Gardens).
They all have a different spin or a differ-
ent way that they engage children, Sclar
said.
The Dallas childrens garden sets itself
apart with its focus on teaching toward edu-
cational standards, he said.
Maria Conroy, the arboretums vice presi-
dent of education and research, said that
when the idea for the childrens garden came
up almost 17 years ago, organizers wanted it
to meet a need in the community, and they
settled on helping to boost science test
scores.
What we did was look at what the big sci-
ence concepts were for each age group in life
and earth science. It was things like they
have to know that plants have parts and
each part has a different job, she said.
Then we said, OK, thats the important
thing, so thats going to be our goal for this
area and this age group.
For instance, to teach kids ages 5 to 7 how
plants live and grow, designers created over-
size plant replicas, including a 16-foot-tall
one that uses lights to show how water
moves from the roots up to the ower. To
teach different ower parts, they created a
puzzle with oversize parts forming a three-
dimensional ower.
Teachers are stationed throughout the gar-
den, and scholars at nearby Southern
Methodist University will study the gar-
dens effect on science education.
Its also hoped that the garden will help
kids who have only known a city environ-
ment realize a connection to nature, Conroy
said.
We felt like our children are growing up
without an understanding of how the Earth
works, she said. And you dont take care
of things you dont care about.
A walkway takes visitors through areas
aimed at different age groups, starting with
one for the youngest visitors, which
includes a maze, a sandbox and a shallow
stream that can be crossed on articial lily
pads. Our goal here was just to get these
children outside ... playing with nature.
Because thats how they learn, by playing,
Conroy said.
Theres also a 240-foot-long skywalk
through the tree canopy, recreations of a
wetlands habitat and a cave.
An area called Earth Cycles includes an
activity to teach kids about erosion by let-
ting them create a landscape of trees and
houses in a sandbox and then watch what
happens when they activate a rainstorm or
river. Itll go through your landscape and
change everything, she said.
In that same area, students can examine a
box of rocks and try to categorize them, or
use their own shadow to tell time with an
analemmatic sundial.
On a visit Monday, 8-year-old David
Rodriguez declared the sundial cool, and
added that another favorite was the energy
stuff.
A 9,100-square-foot building features a
plant lab and a 5-foot-tall globe that can
show things like population density, defor-
estation or weather events. In the building,
kids can also learn about soil types by
reaching with gloves into boxes to feel the
differences. Or they can speed up or slow
down videos from nature for instance,
watching a hummingbird in slow motion, or
watching vines grow faster.
Sara Furlich, who has visited the garden
with her three daughters ages 13, 11 and
5 and with children from the private
school she heads, liked the hands-on
approach and said, Its hard to leave each
exhibit without learning something.
Her 13-year-old, Sally, enjoyed identify-
ing different types of rocks, and a section
on weather: You could make a little tornado
in the bottle. Favorite exhibits for 11-
year-old Rachel included sitting in a giant,
fake birds nest, studying the inside of a
plant and posing for pictures in turtle
shells.

clever, decorative way for craftsmen to
secure materials to upholstered furniture.
Another old fastener, the rivet, also was
commonplace in manufacturing and ship-
building centuries ago.
Now, both nail-heads and rivets are hav-
ing a moment in contemporary dicor. On
some pieces, they reinforce traditional ele-
gance. On others, they offer an urban, edgi-
er aesthetic.
Were seeing nail-head trim this 400-
year-old detail in lots of new applica-
tions, creating bold looks, says Seattle
interior designer Timothy De Clue.
Lisa Ferguson, an interior designer in
Toronto, trimmed a pair of armless coral
chairs with a decorative, antique-brass nail-
head design along the skirt. She says both
brass and warm satin detailing evoke clas-
sic glamour.
It almost always gives the perception of
a more luxurious piece, while adding tex-
ture, Ferguson says.
But be mindful of inexpensive trims if
you want a luxe look, she adds.
Attention to detail and craftsmanship is
what differentiates the good from the best.
Pay special attention to the scale and spac-
ing of the nail heads in relation to the piece
of furniture, and always go for metal indi-
vidual heads over rows of plastic if it is in
your budget, she says. (www.lisaferguson-
interiordesign.com)
Ballard Designs has a selection of tufted
and untufted headboards that you can cus-
tomize in different fabrics and then nish
with brass or silver nail heads. (www.bal-
larddesigns.com)
Homegoods has some little slipper chairs
in fun colors like peony pink, lime green
and rich purple, embellished with silvery
trim. The trim also edges a svelte bench
covered in a green, white and black classic
pattern perched on sleek black legs. All
the pieces have a Palm Beach house vibe.
(www.homegoods.com)
Designer Jonathan Adler is also a fan of
the nail. His Channing screen, named after
Bette Davis character in the movie All
About Eve, is a white lacquered room
divider studded with polished nickel nail
heads. He also plays with the motif in an
irreverent tabletop confection: a clear
acrylic obelisk filled with construction
nails.
Nail heads hit just the right note for
today. Theyre the perfect combo of
twinkly glamour and edgy attitude, Adler
says.
Nail-head trim works well with textured
materials; Jayson Homes Bretton shelf
unit is covered in burlap and trimmed in
brass nails. (www.jaysonhome.com)
Arhaus has a series of interesting chairs
that combine recycled leather seats with
backs upholstered in woven fabric; the
materials meet at a nail-head border.
The Portsmouth chair and settee incorpo-
rate the deconstructed trend in furniture with
a more rened, nished look. Exposed fram-
ing along the backs and woven, grain-sack-
textured upholstery are accented with nail
trim. The Alpine Estates ottoman is part of
a collection of pieces that put a contempo-
rary spin on western style with cowhide,
nail-head and wood trim. Or evoke the early
days of ship travel with the Colburn steam-
er trunk, crafted of chestnut leather and set
with antique brass nail heads.
(www.arhaus.com)
Jayson Home also plays off the vintage
industrial vibe in todays decor with rivet
detailing on distressed-iron and steel side
tables, reminiscent of turn-of-the-century
or shipboard tables.
The retailers Warp and Weft accent
tables, made of riveted, recycled woven alu-
minum, reference World War II aircraft.
There is a series of Ludlam pendant lighting
xtures here, too, crafted of caged iron slats
and hammered rivets.

with occasional remarks by Sen. Mike
Lee, R-Utah, and other GOP conservatives
has controlled the Senate oor and railed
against Obamacare. By 9 a.m. EDT
Wednesday, Cruz and his allies had spoken
for more than 18 hours, the fourth-longest
Senate speech since precise record-keeping
began in 1900.
That surpassed Marchs 12-hour, 52-
minute speech by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. ,
like Cruz a tea party lawmaker and potential
2016 presidential contender, and libusters
by such Senate icons as Huey Long of
Louisiana and Robert Byrd of West Virginia.
Paul, who has questioned Cruzs tactics,
gave the admittedly tired Texan a respite
Wednesday morning by joining the debate
and criticizing Obamacare.
Republican leaders and several rank-and-
file GOP lawmakers had opposed Cruzs
time-consuming effort with the end of the
scal year looming. They fear that Speaker
John Boehner and House Republicans wont
have enough time to respond to the Senates
eventual action.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-
Nev., downplayed the signicance of Cruzs
speech after arriving at the Capitol
Wednesday morning.
He raised some money with the tea party
folks, Reid said. Thats what its all
about.
The House-passed measure is required to
prevent a government shutdown after mid-
night Monday and contains a tea party-
backed provision to defund implementa-
tion of whats come to be known as
Obamacare. Cruz is opposed to moving
ahead on it under debate terms choreo-
graphed by Democrats to defeat the
Obamacare provision.
The mechanics of advancing the bill were
overshadowed by Cruzs speech, which
included a reading of Dr. Seuss Green Eggs
and Ham to his daughters back home in
Texas.
When Americans tried it, they discovered
they did not like green eggs and ham and
they did not like Obamacare either, Cruz
said. They did not like Obamacare in a box,
with a fox, in a house or with a mouse. It is
not working.
Cruzs effort doesnt have a chance to suc-
ceed, however, both because Senate rules are
working against him and because many of
his GOP colleagues think his quixotic effort
combines poor strategy with political
grandstanding at the expense of other
Republicans. Some of Cruzs leading allies
include organizations like the Senate
Conservatives Fund and the Club for Growth
that frequently give nancial help to con-
servatives challenging more moderate
Republicans in primaries.
At issue is a temporary spending bill
required to keep the government fully open
after the Oct. 1 start of the new budget year.
Hard-charging conservatives like Cruz see
the measure as an opportunity to use a must-
pass measure to try to derail Obamas signa-
ture health care law.
Under pressure from Cruz and tea party
activists, House GOP leaders added the anti-
Obamacare language to the funding measure
despite fears it could spark a partial govern-
ment shutdown that could hurt Republicans
in the run-up to midterm elections next year
just as GOP-driven government shut-
downs in 1995-96 help revive the political
fortunes of President Bill Clinton.
I just dont believe anybody benet s
from shutting the government down, and
certainly Republicans dont, said Sen.
Orrin Hatch, R-Utah. We learned that in
1995.
Cruz took the oor at 2:41 p.m. Tuesday,
vowing to speak until hes no longer able
to stand. Wearing black athletic shoes, he
lled the time in a largely empty chamber,
criticizing the law and comparing the ght
to the battle against the Nazis. He talked
about the Revolutionary War, the
Washington ruling class and his Cuban-
born father who worked as a cook.
Missing from the debate were top
Republicans like Senate Minority Leader
Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Cruzs
home-state GOP colleague John Cornyn,
who say that on a second vote later this
week, they will support ending Cruzs effort
to derail the funding bill. That vote is cru-
cial because it would allow top Reid of
Nevada to kill the Obamacare provision on
a simple majority, instead of the 60 votes
often needed for victory.
Democrats control the chamber with 54
votes.

next location.
Workers called in sick, children skipped
school and thousands of New Zealanders
traveled to San Francisco from their home
country to watch sailings premiere event.
A huge roar went up on Pier 23 when
Ellisons 72-foot catamaran came into view
for the thousands who chose to watch the
race from the nish line. The Oracle boat
had a huge lead and was obviously heading
for victory.
USA, USA, USA, the United States fans
screamed in unison as the American boat
zoomed by and crossed the nish line, com-
pleting a remarkable comeback and win-
ning the competition nine races to eight.
Oracle was once down 8-1.
I was so nervous, said 10-year-old
Wesley Seifers, a budding sailor who
skipped classes to watch the race.
It had to be done, said Vaughn Seifers,
Wesleys father. This is a historic day in
sailing.
Some of the many Kiwis who traveled
vast distances at great expense expressed
disappointment, mixed with pride and hope
for the future.
Sure its disappointing, said Tony
Giannotti, who came to San Francisco with
his wife. But well be back.
Other Kiwis complained that Ellisons
deep pockets made the difference. Ellisons
two boats were built exclusively with the
billionaires money. Team New Zealand
cobbled together its funding from many
sources, including from the New Zealand
government itself.
All this shows is what money can buy,
said Glenn Faulkner, a native New
Zealander who lives in Half Moon Bay.
But no worries, mate. We gave it a go and
well be back.
A otilla of pleasure craft followed the
Oracle boat as it left the race course and
sailed under the San Francisco Bay Bridge
on its way back to its storage shed. The
bars and restaurants along the citys water
line began to ll with thousands of resi-
dents and tourists, a scene no one would
have predicted a month ago when the
Americas Cup got off to a rough start,
including the death of a sailor during a
training run over the summer.
Ellison upset many attendees of the annu-
al Oracle OpenWorld conference in San
Francisco when he skipped delivering the
events keynote address to attend the
Americas Cup. Ellisons team won both
races Tuesday to pull even with Team New
Zealand at eight wins each.
Economists say the event will still fall
far short of the $1.4 billion economic
boon rst predicted, but that the Americas
Cup will still end up an economic success
because of the extra days of racing and
excitement the Oracle teams comeback has
brought the region.
Every day that this goes on is a good
thing for the city, said Sean Randolph,
chief executive of the Bay Area Council
Economic Institute. Aside from the eco-
nomic benets, there are incalculable bene-
ts that the city gets from all of this expo-
sure.

With Warden and Feierbach leaving,
Lieberman is hoping the council will
be made up next year of ve independ-
ent-minded thinkers who are willing
to work together.
He has been on the losing side of
many critical votes over the past eight
years that are due primarily to the
council majority, or voting block, of
Warden, Feierbach and Wozniak.
He has even been skipped over twice
for mayor with votes made by the
council majority. If re-elected, howev-
er, he is due to be mayor next year.
Lieberman moved to the city in
1995 and rst served the city on the
Finance Commission.
He decided to run for the council
because he became disenchanted with
the way the council seemed to enjoy
humiliating each other.
It appeared they enjoyed ghting
with each other and the city was suffer-
ing, he said.
Mercer has lived in the city for 29
years and has a long history of volun-
teer work in Belmont schools and the
4-H Club.
She looks toward renewing some of
the old strip mall designs on El
Camino Real, attracting more com-
mercial activity east of Highway 101
and keeping the downtown village
concept in place to make the area more
walkable.
DSouza built his own home in
Belmont after buying a lot in 2000.
He looks toward creating a more
vibrant downtown and wants Belmont
residents to pay less in fees or taxes
for services such as sewer and garbage.
Reed looks to join the council to
change the culture where no is the
most common thing you hear.
The city has overregulated its resi-
dents with restrictive smoking, sign
and tree ordinances, he said. There
needs to be a mindset shift in the city
where yes we will work with you is a
more common phrase uttered in the
city, he added.
Stone moved to Belmont in 2004 to
raise his two children in a city with
great schools and open spaces.
He became interested in joining the
council after it changed its mind on
plans Crystal Springs Uplands School
had to build a middle school on Davis
Drive in the hills last year during a
lengthy and contentious council
process.
The outcome was bad, he said, and
the staff needs to be more empowered
to attract businesses to the city.
Michael Verdone is a third-genera-
tion Belmont resident and real estate
agent.
He became interested in politics
after learning through the San Mateo
County Association of Realtors that
residents in Belmont were having
their private property rights restrict-
ed.
What you hear about Belmont is
good luck, they are really hard to
work with, he said.
Many of the citys processes are
inefcient, he said.
Verdone liked the idea of Crystal
Springs Uplands School coming to
the city but said the development deal
was not enough.
Mercer agreed and said one of the
problems with the schools applica-
tion is that the city has not taken a
look at its General Plan for about 30
years.
Ofce use is not appropriate for the
Davis Drive location, she said, but
said CSUS may not have been the best
long-term solution for the citys
nances.
DSouza, however, said CSUS did
not want to pay its fair share to come
to Belmont.
Lots of residents are happy we said
no, he said.
The council, Lieberman said, never
had any substantive discussion on
the development deal CSUS offered
the city. Davis Drive is not a good
place for a business park, he added.
Stone noticed what he called a con-
centrated effort to spread misinforma-
tion to torpedo the CSUS project as it
neared the nal council vote for the
private middle school project.
The councils actions cost the
school a lot of money since it initial-
ly gave the school tentative approval
18 months before the council shot it
down.

dates down recently for an endorse-
ment interview and will publish their

not on the short list, too before
choosing how it will redraw the dis-
trict boundaries for future supervisor
elections.
Making the cut is the so-called
community unity 4 plan which
leaves northern District Five intact as
a majority-minority Asian district and
lumps into District Four Redwood
City, East Palo Alto, east Menlo Park
and North Fair Oaks. Committee Chair
Adrienne Tissier, Vice-chair Warren
Slocum and public member William
Nack abstained from voting but the six
other members made this map their top
choice. The backers of the April 2011
voters rights lawsuit which sparked
the boundary changes also favor this
map.
The second most popular map was
submitted by the countys Republican
Party and will be renamed the equity
map. The third was Nakamura 1G, one
of several submitted by James
Nakamura. Those two maps also move
Redwood Shores from District Three to
District Four and split Menlo Park
between the two districts.
San Mateo County, the last holdout
county in the state with at-large elec-
tions, is changing its method in
response to a lawsuit which claimed
the system violated the California
Voting Rights Act by diluting minori-
ty votes and precluding Latino and
Asian candidates from securing county
ofce. In November 2012, county vot-
ers also chose to change the charter
and switch to district elections. The
new system requires that only voters
within one of ve specic districts can
elect a supervisor who must also hail
from that same district. Previously,
voters countywide elected all five
supervisors even though each lived
and represented a specic district.
The challenge of redistricting has
been trying to split the ve districts as
equally as possible by population
while also weighing other factors like
race, socioeconomics and voter dilut-
ing. As the nine-person advisory
committee held a series of workshops
and hearings, cities proposed for split-
ting cried foul and cartography experts
said there was no possibility of keep-
ing every one intact.
Prior to Tuesday nights nal redis-
tricting recommendation meeting,
Slocum told the Daily Journal he
expected the Board of Supervisors to
have a lengthy discussion before
deciding but did not anticipate it
requiring more than one meeting.
Once the Board of Supervisors
chooses its map, the change should be
immediate, according to county
spokesman Marshall Wilson.
Along with Tissier, Slocum and
Nack, the advisory committee mem-
bers named by the Board of
Supervisors are Daly City Councilman
Gonzalo Sal Torres, East Palo Alto
Councilwoman Laura Martinez,
Hayden Lee of Millbrae; Raymond Lee
of San Mateo; Barbara Arietta of
Pacica and Rebecca Ayson of Daly
City.

district maps and process is available

linked to al-Qaida, formally broke with
the main opposition group in exile
Wednesday and called for Islamic law in
the country, dealing a severe blow to
the Western-backed coalition.
The new alliance is a potential turn-
ing point, entrenching the schism
within the rebellion and giving
President Bashar Assad fuel for his
long-stated contention that his regime
is battling Islamic extremists in the
civil war.
The Turkey-based Syrian National
Coalition the political arm of the
Free Syrian Army rebel group has
long been accused by those ghting
inside Syria of being a puppet promot-
ed by the West and Gulf Arab states sup-
porting the Syrian rebellion.
Wednesdays public rejection of the
coalitions authority will likely be
extremely damaging for its future in
Syria, particularly at a time when the
U.S. and Russia are pushing for peace
talks.
If the groups involved stand by this
statement, I think this could be a very
big deal especially if it develops
into a more-structured alliance instead
of just a joint position, said political
analyst Aron Lund.
It basically means that some of the
biggest mainstream Islamist forces
within the so-called FSA are breaking
up with the political leadership
appointed for them by the West and
Gulf states, to cast their lot with more
hard-line and anti-Western Islamists,
he said.
The announcement came less than
two weeks after the coalition elected an
interim prime minister, Ahmad Touma,
charging him with organizing gover-
nance in opposition-held territories
that have descended into chaos and
inghting.
In a joint statement, 11 rebel groups
that are inuential in Aleppo province
in the north, including Jabhat al-Nusra,
which is listed as a terrorist organiza-
tion by the U.S. State Department, said
they rejected the authority of the
Syrian National Coalition as well as
Toumas appointment.
A video on the Internet showed
Abdel-Aziz Salameh, political chief of
the Liwaa al-Tawheed brigade that is
particularly strong in the northern city
of Aleppo, reading the statement.
These forces call on all military and
civilian forces to unite under a clear
Islamic framework based on Sharia law,
which should be the sole source of leg-
islation, the signatories said.
Ominously, the rebel groups state-
ment was titled Communique No. 1, a
term used in Arab countries following
military coups that suggests the cre-
ation of a new leadership body.
It said the rebels do not recognize
any future government formed outside
Syria, insisting that forces ghting
inside the country should be represent-
ed by those who suffered and took part
in the sacrices.

FBI agents work in nightmarish
scene at Kenya shopping center
By Jason Straziuso, Andrew O. Selsky and Tom Odula
NAIROBI, Kenya Working near bodies crushed by rub-
ble in a bullet-scarred, scorched mall, FBI agents began n-
gerprint, DNA and ballistic analysis Wednesday to help
determine the identities and nationalities of victims and al-
Shabab gunmen who attacked the shopping center, killing
more than 60 people.
A gaping hole in the malls roof was caused by Kenyan
soldiers who red rocket-propelled grenades inside, knock-
ing out a support column, a government ofcial told the
Associated Press. The ofcial, who insisted he not be iden-
tied because he was sharing security information, said the
soldiers red to distract a terrorist sniper so hostages could
be evacuated.
Video of the roof collapse showed massive carnage. The
collapse came Monday, shortly after four large explosions
rang out followed by billows of black smoke. Although a
government minister said the terrorists had set mattresses
on re, causing the roof to collapse, the video showed such
massive destruction that the explanation seemed unlikely to
be the full story.
Al-Shabab on its Twitter feed Wednesday claimed that the
Kenyan government assault team carried out a demolition
of the building.
The current death toll is 67 and is likely to climb with
uncounted bodies remaining in the wreckage of the Nairobi
mall.
