The long-vacant sites of three
former gas stations at the corner
of key real estate at the intersec-
tion El Camino Real and Third
Avenue near downtown San Mateo
may nally be redeveloped as sep-
arate pre-applications have been
turned in over the last three weeks.
Two of the properties have long
been shielded by white fencing
and one was a 76 gas station that
has been recently demolished.
They are: 221 S. El Camino Real
on the northeast corner, 2 E. Third
Ave. on the southeast corner and 2
W. Third Ave. on the northwest
corner leveled lots that the
property owners seek to turn into
mixed-use buildings.
The two east corner lots have
been vacant for more than a decade
and are now proposed to be mixed-
use retail and ofce space. The
northwest lot has only been
vacant for around a year, but it was
already drawing concern from the
community and is now proposed
to become a mixed-use residential
and retail building.
The city has long sought a
developer to capitalize on these
properties as they are along a
main artery leading into down-
town, Mayor Robert Ross said.
Im pretty ecstatic about it,
Ross said, referring to the proper-
ties on the east side of the street.
Theyve been vacant for almost
15 years. Its kind of an eyesore.
Its an entry to our downtown and I
kind of felt it was a detriment to
the businesses downtown and the
neighbors that have to put up with
it. Also just driving by, its not
inviting. We need to start to see
that start to get developed.
On Sept. 18, a pre-application
was turned into the citys
Planning Division to turn the
approximate 12,000-square-foot
site on the northeast corner into a
three-story building, San Mateo

Management team salaries frozen for three years during
rockier economic times in Redwood City are further thawing
as ofcials are expected to increase pay 2 percent to 5 per-
cent for some positions and give three top appointees rais-
es up to 8 percent.
The positions of city manager, city attorney and city
clerk agreed to salary freezes between 2009 and 2013 and
saw their contributions to the pension
plan jump from 7 percent to 20 percent
by 2016. With the current economy
improving, Mayor Jeff Gee and Vice
Mayor Rosanne Foust told their col-
leagues in a memo that it is time to
review those salaries to make sure it
keeps the appointed jobholders around. If
approved, the new schedule will give the
city manager and city clerk both 8 per-
cent raises to $20,717 and $10,535
per month, respectively and hand the
city attorney a 4 percent increase to $19,223 per month.
The city clerk is Silvia Vonderlinden and the city manager is
Robert Bell.
The recommended raise for City Attorney Pamela
Thompson is not based on market conditions but to recog-
nize the councils satisfaction with her work, according to
Gee and Fousts report.

The man whose purchase of a cash-
strapped Moss Beach park at auction
last year was revoked after residents
feared its loss led a $500,000 claim
against San Mateo County.
Michael A. OConnell states in the
Aug. 30 claim that the county
breached its contract duties and failed
to comply with its obligations by
rescinding the deal.
The Board of Supervisors is expect-
ed at Tuesdays meeting to deny the
claim as part of its consent agenda.
OConnell will then be free to sue the
county if he chooses.
Moss Beach Park is approximately
26,000 square feet at the intersection
of Etheldore Street and Virginia
Avenue in unincorporated Moss

Loose crabs in cargo hold
delay New York flight
NEW YORK If passengers on a
delayed flight from New York to
Charlotte, North Carolina, got a bit
crabby, no one could really say they
were being too shellsh.
Their ight left LaGuardia Airport
about a half-hour late Thursday
evening because some live crabs got
loose in the cargo hold.
US Airways spokeswoman Liz
Landau said Friday its unclear how the
fairly small crustaceans escaped their
container or what species they were.
She says there were more than a few
of them.
Its unknown who was shipping
them. The airline carries various cargo
shipments, along with passengers
luggage.
Workers swept the crabs out of the
hold, and the ight went on its way.
Errant Taliban tweet
claims spokesman in Pakistan
KABUL, Afghanistan An appar-
ently errant tweet by the Talibans
spokesman in Afghanistan gave his
location as being in neighboring
Pakistan.
On Friday, a tweet by Taliban
spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid claim-
ing an attack included geolocation
information that suggested he sent the
message from Sindh, Pakistan.
Mujahid later sent a tweet Saturday
describing the location leak as an
enemy plot. He also offered his
Afghan telephone number to conrm
his identity and wrote: With full con-
dence, I can say that I am in my own
country.
Twitter says such geolocation data is
based on latitude and longitude data or
other information provided by users at
the time of their message.
In an explanation of geolocation,
Twitter itself warns: Remember, once
you post something online, its out
there for others to see.
Woman says she dug up
dads grave with respect
LANCASTER, N.H. Alawyer for a
woman accused of ransacking the New
Hampshire grave of her father in
search of his real will wants a judge
to suppress her written statement to
police that she dug it up with respect
and he would be OK with it.
Prosecutors allege Melanie Nash,
52, conspired with others to remove
her fathers remains from the
Colebrook Village Cemetery in May.
The vault of businessman Eddie Nash,
who died in 2004, was found cracked
with the casket opened and his
remains searched through.
The Caledonian Record reports
Melanie Nashs lawyer, William
Albrecht, led a motion last month
arguing statements made after her
arrest and before she was advised of her
Miranda rights should be excluded
because they violate her right against
self-incrimination.
Coos County Attorney John
McCormick said Nash showed her
free will in coming to police and
waiving her Miranda rights.
Police believe the casket was pulled
out after Melanie Nash commented
about her father being buried with the
real will. A police afdavit said she
didnt nd a will, only a pack of ciga-
rettes in her fathers hand.
Nash told police she did not receive
anything when her father died and had
been thinking of digging up the grave
for years to prove her sister, Susie
Nash, hid the will. Susie Nash has
said there was only one will when her
fathers estate plan was done in 1995
and everyone involved knew about it.
In her June 11 written statement to
police, Melanie Nash wrote that she
met up with others to go to the cemetery
to go dig up her fathers grave. Four
people have been indicted in the case.
She wrote: All this was done for the
right reasons and I know my father
would be OK with it.
She ended her statement with: What
we all did was to dig up my fathers
cofn, Eddie Nash, looking for docu-
ments. We did it with respect.
Nash, who died of a heart attack at
68, started an equipment business in
1979 still run by his family. Hes
since been reburied.

here are three prominent islands that
jut out in San Francisco Bay just as
you enter the Golden Gate. The one
that is one and half mile north of North
Beach was originally named Yerba Buena by
the explorer Ayala in the 1770s. The other
island to the east of San Francisco (origi-
nally Yerba Buena) he named Alcatraz (later
Goats Island then Yerba Buena). To the
north was a larger island one named Angel
Island. Apparently the profusion of the
plant, Yerba Buena, occurred everywhere and
the name became applied to many places.
The names were switched to their present
names by a British ships captain, Frederick
Beechey, who surveyed the Bay in 1826.
In 1846, Julian Workman, co-owner of
Rancho La Puente and personal friend of Pio
Pico, was granted Alcatraz with the under-
standing he would build a lighthouse on it.
He never did fulll that promise. The mili-
tary governor of California, John E.
Fremont, acquired the island for the United
States in 1846. Following the Treaty of
Guadalupe Hidalgo and the United States
acquisition of California, the U.S. Army
began studying the feasibility of Alcatraz as
a base for coastal batteries to protect the
approach of ships through the Golden Gate.
In 1853, the rst lighthouse on the West
Coast was built on Alcatraz. Its style was
that of the Cape Cod cottage style. The lens
that powered the lighthouse was imported
from France and shipped around South
America. It was lit on June 1, 1854, and
continued to light the area for 62 years when
it was torn down and replaced with the light
the still beacons today. In addition to the
lighthouse, a fog bell was established on
the north side of the island.
The island presented many challenges.
All food had to be brought to the island as
well as any fresh water. The currents of the
Bay were swift and dangerous allowing little
chance for escape. When the island was later
used as a prison, only a few prisoners are
recorded as trying to escape by swimming
to the mainland.
In 1853, the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers began fortifying the island. In
1858, Fort Alcatraz acquired 200 soldiers
and 11 cannons. When the Civil War began,
85 cannons were put in casements around
the island. Guns and powder were stored at
the garrison due to the many Confederate
sympathizers in San Francisco. Due to the
Civil War, many more prisoners were held
on the island and another enlarged jail was
built. By modern standards, the cells were
too small, a re hazard and were inhumane.
With the rise of the Spanish-American War,
the prison population grew drastically.

Boy reported missing after
walking away from rehab center
Sheriffs deputies are advising residents to
be on the lookout for a San Francisco boy
who left a juvenile rehabilitation center in
San Mateo County without permission early
Saturday morning.
The San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce said
the juvenile, described as a heavyset Hispanic
boy, left Log Cabin Ranch, located at 500
Log Cabin Ranch Road in the census-desig-
nated place of La Honda, without permission
shortly after 1 a.m.
The boy was receiving rehabilitation at the
minimum-security detention facility for a
misdemeanor crime, according to sheriffs
deputies.
Log Cabin Ranch is a court-ordered school
situated in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The
school is part of the San Francisco Unied
School District and is run by the San
Francisco Juvenile Probation Department.
The boy is enrolled in the facilitys year-
long program for San Franciscos most at-risk
youth.
The boy stands 5 feet 9 inches tall and
weighs 200 pounds. He has black hair and
brown eyes. Deputies said he was last seen
walking in the area wearing a dark T-shirt and
khaki pants.
Anyone who sees the boy or a suspicious
person in the area, especially if they are try-
ing to ag down a vehicle, should call 911
immediately, deputies said.
San Mateo man arrested for
attempted lewd acts with a child
A54-year-old San Mateo man was arrested in
a joint investigation by the Santa Cruz County
Sheriffs Ofce and the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security for sending harmful materi-
al to a minor and attempting lewd acts with a
child under 14.
According to the sher-
iffs ofce, Roger Mihara
was trolling the Internet
for sex when he unwit-
tingly solicited an under-
cover Homeland Security
agent who was posing as a
13-year-old girl traveling
in the area with her par-
ents.
On Wednesday, Mihara
arranged to meet the girl and her parents in
order to make arrangements for him to have
sex with the girl.
Mihara reserved a hotel room in Santa Cruz
and purchased alcohol for the parents in
preparation for the visit. He also purchased
gifts for the girl, according to sheriffs
deputies.
Instead, Santa Cruz County Sheriffs
Ofce detectives met Mihara at the hotel and
arrested him. Mihara was booked into the
Santa Cruz County Jail on $50,000 bail.
Hillsborough: deer carcass
signals mountain lion activity
Hillsborough police report that a mountain
lion is most likely responsible for killing a
deer whose body was discovered on a resi-
dents walkway Sunday morning.
The resident, who lives on Crystal Drive,
believes the deer carcass was left on the walk-
way some time after midnight.
Police are reminding people to take a num-
ber of precautions including: Do not approach
mountain lions, especially if they are feeding
or with offspring. Avoid hiking or jogging at
dawn, dusk or at night when mountain lions
are most active. Keep a close watch on small
children. Do not run from an encounter.
Instead, face the animal, make noise, try to
look bigger by waving your arms and throw
rocks or other objects.

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Bay Area fishermen are
expressing their strong opposi-
tion to a $7.5 billion state water
bond to be voted on in November
that may result in the construc-
tion of new dams which could
decrease Bay Area fisheries.
California environmentalists
are divided in their support of the
Water Quality, Supply and
Infrastructure Improvement Act
of 2014, known as Proposition
1 .
Proponents, such as environ-
mental nonprofit The Nature
Conservancy, say the water bond
will push forward many positive
water conservation efforts and
improve the states water infra-
structure.
The act, if passed, will bolster
watershed restoration and
groundwater cleanup across the
state, but critics of the legisla-
tion say that while those efforts
are desperately needed, the act
will also pave the way for reser-
voir and dam construction.
Critics say that the bond is not
the answer to Californias water
crisis and does more damage than
good.
Barbara Barrigan-Parrilla, the
executive director of the non-
profit organization Restore the
Delta based in Stockton, said the
proposition puts the ecosystem
of the Sacramento-San Joaquin
Delta at risk while doing noth-
ing to address the problems
associated with the current
drought.
Zeke Grader Jr., the executive
director of the Pacific Coast
Federation of Fishermens
Association stood with other
fishermen at Pier 45 in San
Franciscos Fishermans Wharf
Friday and expressed his disap-
proval of the proposition, say-
ing it will help the states agri-
culture industry while diminish-
ing its fishing industry.
Grader said that as an environ-
mentalist, he thinks the propo-
sition endorses major water con-
servation efforts that California
needs in the third year of a
drought, but what Grader doesnt
approve of is the $2.7 billion
that the act earmarks for water
storage.
The fishermen who gathered at
the pier Friday worry that the act
would boost reservoir and dam
construction that would hinder
fish passage and harm the estu-
ary that accommodates salmon,
herring, crab and other critters.
Grader said that Proposition 1
is playing off the panic generat-
ed around the drought.
Otherwise, he said, a proposi-
tion like this would not pass
muster with voters, especially
environmentalists.
Grader said if the proposition
passes, he would be trying his
damnedest to stop any dam
construction.
He also said the state needs to
place a greater emphasis on cre-
ating groundwater storage as
opposed to surface water storage.
Surface water storage leads to a
lot of evaporation and interferes
with fisheries, Grader said.
Meanwhile, Sacramento-based
organization California Farm
Bureau Federation, which repre-
sents about 55,000 farmers as
well as others in the agriculture
industry, is supporting
Proposition 1.
The federations president,
Paul Wenger, said today that the
state needs to invest in its water
infrastructure.
He agreed with the fishermen
who say groundwater storage is a
good solution to water storage.
He said the state, including its
farmers, are overdrafting ground-
water and that aquifers need to be
replenished as they are depleted.
Wenger said that the $2.7 bil-
lion that will go toward water
projects will be determined by
the public benefit, meaning
that in theory, the water projects
that best benefit the public will
be prioritized and accommodat-
ed.
But both Wenger and Grader
said theyre not so sure how that
public benefit gets deter-
mined, and worry that the group
who makes the greatest noise or
has the most money will win the
approval of the state.
Environmentalists and indus-
try proponents alike, agree that
whether its through desalination
efforts, refilled aquifers, or other
water storage efforts, the
impacts of both climate change
as well as Californias increased
human population, require all
parties to work together to find
compromises that can preserve
Californias natural resources.
Fishermen come out against water bond
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES
Temperatures climbed into the
triple digits in some parts of
Southern California on Sunday,
as swaths of the state baked in
another day of unusually hot fall
weather.
In Santa Clara, where the San
Francisco 49ers were playing
the Kansas City Chiefs, fans had
to contend with weather more
suitable for surfing tempera-
tures hovering around 90
degrees.
At a time when the autumn
foliage season has taken hold in
New England and other northern
states, the Van Nuys section of
Los Angeles flirted with the
100-degree mark.
But there were signs the worst
was over.
Dense fog blanketed the
Orange County coast and parts
of the San Francisco Bay Area
on Sunday morning, nudging
down temperatures with it.
With an upper level high pres-
sure system losing its strength
it should cool off through the
week, predicted National
Weather Service meteorologist
Joe Sirard. It looks like the
high heat is ending.
Downtown Los Angeles hit 95
degrees, Sirard said, several
degrees down from Friday and
Saturday.
The heat made it uncomfort-
able for thousands of bicyclists
who came to downtown Los
Angeles to take advantage of
closed streets as part of a
cycling celebration, but city fire
department officials were

IRVINE Investigators looked
for clues Sunday to the cause of
two fiery vehicle crashes in
Southern California that left 10
dead, including four recent gradu-
ates of the same high school, as
family members and friends
mourned the victims.
In Orange County, a 16-year-old
unlicensed driver who was the lone
survivor in a single-car accident
that killed ve dead remained hos-
pitalized after surgery. He was list-
ed in serious but stable condition
with a large skull fracture and
internal bleeding, Mission
Hospital said.
California Highway Patrol
Officer Florentine Olivares said
investigators will inspect the
1995 BMW the teen was driving
for signs of mechanical failure
that might have contributed to the
crash early Saturday morning in
Orange County.
Skid marks on the freeway and
the distance the car traveled after
hitting a guardrail on Interstate 5
in Irvine suggest speed possibly
played a role, the ofcer said.
No charges have been filed.
There was no record of the driver
having a license, Olivera said.
The victims, who were returning
from an amusement park, included
two 14-year-old boys and a 15-
year-old boy, all from Orange
County, who played for the same
soccer team, the Los Angeles
Times reported. Two girls who
died, whose ages were not
released, played on a school water
polo team.
Both girls and one of the boys
killed were not wearing a seat belt,
the CHP said.
After the boys failed to show up
for an 8 a.m. game for the elite
players of the Mission Viejo
Soccer Club, coach Billy McNicol
said he got a call from a family
member that all three had been
killed.
We are devastated. Just devas-
tated, he told the newspaper.
The car flew off the freeway,
crashed and caught re. The white
sedan was flattened on top and
covered with burn marks as it was
towed from the scene.
Five people were killed about
ve hours earlier on Friday night,
when three vehicles collided and
burst into ames on an isolated
two-lane road on the edge of
Chino, a city east of Los Angeles
in San Bernardino County.
The lone survivor of the three-
vehicle crash the driver of a
Honda Civic was released from
the hospital, police spokes-
woman Monica Gutierrez said. The
dead included four in a Chevy truck
and one in a Honda Accord.
The victims in the truck included
19-year-old Andrew Anthony
Deleon, 18-year-old Nathan
Dominguez and two other friends,
all recent graduates from the same
high school, Dominguezs uncle
Anthony Vasquez and coroners
ofcials said.
Vasquez told the Riverside Press-
Enterprise that Dominguez, who
lives with him, had been scheduled
to start a new job at a grocery store
Saturday, and he had grown con-
cerned when he didnt return home
before getting the news in the
morning.
Vasquez said his nephew was an
outgoing and big-hearted teen
who always thought about others
before himself.
The victim from the Accord was
Luis Ayala Mendoza, 47, of
Corona, the coroner said in a
statement.
Police probe fiery crashes that killed 10
LOS ANGELES Distracted police
officers and other emergency vehicle
drivers were to blame in collisions
that killed three Southern California
residents and injured about 140 others
in the state over the last two years, a
newspaper reported Sunday.
Drivers of police cars, fire trucks
and ambulances caused at least 180
traffic collisions in the state last
year, or about one every other day, the
Los Angeles Daily News found. Thats
up from 165 collisions in 2012.
The newspaper said the number of
collisions involving distracted emer-
gency vehicle drivers on public roads
who were at-fault increased by 122
percent over the last decade, coincid-
ing with the rise in the use of tech-
nology.
The use of in-car computers and
other electronic equipment was cited
as a factor in just over a quarter of
such collisions in 2013.
Black-and-whites now are
equipped with more equipment that
affords faster and more accurate infor-
mation to officers, but at the same
time provides a certain degree of dis-
traction while driving, Robert
Stresak, executive director of
Californias Commission on Peace
Officer Standards and Training, told
the newspaper.
Among the victims, Gregory
Kirwin, 48, of Banning died after a
2012 freeway crash in which a car was
rear-ended by a state fire chief, who
was talking on his cellphone using a
hands-free device. The state agreed to
pay his daughters $15 million to set-
tle a civil case.
Last December, a Los Angeles
County sheriff s deputy who had
been typing on his patrol car com-
puter while returning from a fire call
entered a bicycle lane on Mulholland
Highway in Calabasas and fatally
struck entertainment attorney
Milton Olin Jr. , 65. The Los
Angeles District Attorneys Office
declined to file charges against the
driver and Olins family has sued the
county, the Sheriffs Department and
the deputy for an undisclosed amount
of damages.
While motorists in California are
prohibited from using hand-held
cellphones, drivers of emergency
vehicles, who spend large amounts
of time on the road, are generally
exempt from such laws in the course
of business and can use their in-car
computers on the job.
Many local agencies have vague
policies. The Los Angeles Police
Department, for example, has no
explicit policy in its manual on cell-
phone or in-car computer use. The
vast majority of its vehicles, howev-
er, have two officers in a car and offi-
cers are trained that the passenger
should be using the phone or the in-
car computer, Cmdr. Andrew Smith
told the newspaper.

WASHINGTON A Supreme
Court term that is starting with a
lack of headline-grabbing cases
may end with a blockbuster that
helps dene the legacy of the court
under Chief Justice John Roberts.
While same-sex marriage is not
yet on their agenda, the justices
appear likely to take on the issue
and decide once and for all whether
gay and lesbian couples have a
constitutional right to marry.
When the justices formally open
their new term Monday, Roberts
will be beginning his 10th year at
the head of the court, and the fth
with the same lineup of justices. He
has been part of a ve-justice con-
servative majority that has rolled
back campaign finance limits,
upheld abortion restrictions and
generally been skeptical of the
consideration of race in public life.
But his court has taken a different
path in cases involving gay and les-
bian Americans,
despite his
opposition most
of the time.
The courts
record on gay
rights is compa-
rable to its
embrace of civil
rights for
A f r i c a n -
Americans in
the 1950s and 1960s under Chief
Justice Earl Warren, said
University of Chicago law profes-
sor David Strauss. The court will
go down in history as one that was
on the frontiers of establishing
rights for gays and lesbians,
Strauss said.
The justices passed up their rst
opportunity last week to add gay
marriage cases to their calendar.
But they will have several more
chances in the coming weeks to
accept appeals from ofcials in
Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia
and Wisconsin who are trying to
preserve their state bans on same-
sex marriage.
Those prohibitions fell one after
the other following the high
courts June 2013 decision that
struck down part of a federal law
that dened marriage as between a
man and a woman.
On the courts plate in the new
term are cases involving:
-religious, employment and
housing discrimination.
-the drawing of political districts
in Alabama and Arizona.
-a dispute between Congress and
the president over passports that is
heavy with Middle East politics.
-a faulty trafc stop over a cars
broken brake light in North
Carolina.
-the use of a law to prevent docu-
ment shredding against a sherman
accused of throwing undersized red
grouper overboard.
-the prosecution of a self-styled
rapper whose Facebook postings
threatened his estranged wife, an
FBI agent and area schools.
Mondays argument involves the
North Carolina trafc stop that led
to the discovery of cocaine in
Nicholas Heiens Ford Escort. A
police ofcer pulled the car over
when he saw the right brake light
wasnt working, although the left
one was. Typically, evidence found
in a car pulled over for a valid rea-
son can be used against a defen-
dant. But North Carolinas quirky
trafc laws mandate that only one
brake light on a car be working.
The case tests whether the of-
cers mistaken understanding of the
law makes the trafc stop unrea-
sonable and the ensuing search a
violation of Heiens constitutional
rights. Among Heiens arguments
is that citizens cant plead igno-
rance of the law when they are
charged with a crime, so there
shouldnt be a double standard for
the police. Adivided state Supreme
Court said the mistake was reason-
able enough to justify the routine
trafc stop.
On Tuesday, the justices will take
up the case of Arkansas prison
inmate Gregory Holt, who says his
Muslim beliefs require him to grow
a half-inch beard. Arkansas prison
ofcials permit no beards, with the
exception of inmates with certain
skin conditions, who can have
beards a quarter-inch long.
Prison ofcials say their rule is a
matter of security because beards
can be used to hide prohibited
items, and 18 states are backing
the states argument. But groups
across the political spectrum and
the Obama administration say Holt
has a right to grow a beard under a
federal law aimed at protecting
prisoners religious rights. More
than 40 states already allow beards,
with little evidence that inmates
have tried to hide prohibited items
in them.
Last term, the court bitterly
divided over the religious rights of
family-owned corporations that
objected to paying for womens
contraceptives under President
Barack Obamas health care law.

WASHINGTON Ebola has arrived in the
United States and people are frightened.
The nations top infectious diseases
expert said its perfectly normal to feel anx-
ious about a disease that kills so fast and is
ravaging parts of West Africa.
People who are scared, I say, we dont
take lightly your fear. We respect it. We
understand it, Dr. Anthony Fauci of the
National Institutes of Health said Sunday.
But West Africa, because of the weakness-
es in its health system, is not the United
States, Fauci said, predicting we wont
have an outbreak. Scientists know how to
stop the virus from spreading.
Thats not to say the rst Ebola case diag-
nosed within the United States - a traveler
from Liberia who began feeling the effects
after arriving in Dallas - will be the only one.
The government took measures this past
week to ensure hospitals are ready.
Despite some initial missteps in Dallas,
tried-and-true methods are underway: track-
ing everyone who came into contact with
the infected man and isolating anyone who
shows symptoms.
What to know about Ebola in America:
Theres going to be a lot of talk
Expect to hear news reports in the coming
days about people who are being cared for as
potential Ebola cases. That doesnt mean
they have the disease.
Doctors and hospitals are isolating indi-
viduals they believe could be at risk. Thats
based on a combination of their symptoms
and recent travel from a country where Ebola
is present.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention has consulted with hospitals
about more than 100 potentially suspicious
cases in recent months. More than a dozen
were worrisome enough to merit Ebola
blood tests. Only the Dallas patient had
Ebola.
How it spreads
Ebola doesnt spread easily like the u, a
cold or measles.
The virus isnt airborne. Instead, its in a
sick persons bodily uids, such as blood,
vomit, urine, semen or saliva. Another per-
son can catch the disease by getting those
germs into his own body, perhaps by wip-
ing his eyes or through a cut in the skin.
Bodily uids arent contagious until the
infected person begins to feel sick. The ini-
tial symptoms are easily confused with
other illnesses, however: fever, headaches,
u-like body aches and abdominal pain.
Vomiting, diarrhea and sometimes bleeding
follow as the disease progresses, increasing
the risk to others.
In West Africa, the disease has spread
quickly to family members who tended the
sick or handled their bodies after death, and
infected doctors and nurses working under
punishing conditions, without proper
equipment. Bed sheets or clothing contami-
nated by bodily uids also spread the dis-
ease.
Can you catch it on a bus or plane?
Its very unlikely.
To be on the safe side, the CDC denes
contact with the disease as spending a
prolonged period of time within 3 feet of
someone ill with Ebola, a distance designed
to protect health workers from projectile
vomiting.
But health officials havent seen real
world cases of the virus spread by casual
contact in public, such as sitting next to
someone on a bus, said Dr. Tom Frieden, the
CDC director.
All of our experience with Ebola in
Africa the last four decades indicates direct
contact is how it spreads, he said, and
only direct contact with someone who is ill
with Ebola.

KHUZAA, Gaza Strip -- More
than ve weeks after the Israel-
Hamas war in the Gaza Strip, tens
of thousands of people whose
homes were destroyed or badly
damaged in the ghting still live
in classrooms, storefronts and
other crowded shelters. In some of
the hardest-hit areas, the displaced
have pitched tents next to the
debris that once was their homes.
Yet despite their pressing
needs, reconstruction efforts
appear stymied by a continued
Israeli-Egyptian border blockade
of Gaza and an unresolved power
struggle between the Islamic mil-
itant group Hamas and Western-
backed Palestinian President
Mahmoud Abbas.
Those involved in rebuilding
say the post-war paralysis nally
will come to an end next week,
with an international pledging
conference in Cairo. There, Abbas
is to ask for $4 billion for Gaza,
including for the rebuilding or
repair of more than 60,000 homes
and 5,000 businesses.
Once the money is raised, a
United Nations deal is to ensure
that large amounts of building
materials get into Gaza, despite
the blockade. Under the arrange-
ment, Israel would gradually ease
restrictions, while Abbas - who
lost Gaza to Hamas in 2007 - is to
regain some control there and
make sure cement and steel meant
for reconstruction arent diverted.
But James Rawley, a senior U.N.
ofcial involved in the reconstruc-
tion, acknowledged the deal is fragile.
We have a window of opportu-
nity to make a difference in the
lives of the people of Gaza,
Rawley said. But for that to hap-
pen, we need all parties to cooper-
ate and work hard, including
increasing the capacity of the
(Israel-Gaza) crossings.
Skepticism about rebuilding
efforts is widespread in Gaza.
The recent 50-day war was the
third in the territory in just
over five years. Many homes
destroyed in previous fighting
still havent been rebuilt.
During the most recent fight-
ing, Israel launched thousands of
airstrikes at what it called
Hamas-linked targets and
unleashed artillery barrages on
border communities it said had
been turned into militant out-
posts. Hamas fired thousands of
rockets and mortars at Israel dur-
ing the war. More than 2,100
Palestinians were killed, the
majority of them civilians,
according to the U.N. Israel lost
66 soldiers and six civilians.

Rail Corridor Transit-Oriented
Development Plan
Editor,
In 2005, blinded by the glitzy slo-
gan, Rail Corridor Transit-Oriented
Development Plan, our San Mateo
city fathers and mothers earmarked
for four-story development in every
open spot north between Bay
Meadows and 16th Avenue. This has
resulted in huge construction includ-
ing Bay Meadows, the Delaware
Street condos, Station Park Green and
the Hines Project. Within their
dreamy minds, our city planners have
lled the spaces with owery scenes
devoid of long lines of automobiles,
hints of over-population, a scarcity
of resources, including water and gen-
eral heightened congestion. Also,
the development agreement stretched
the citys approval window in
exchange for some future public ben-
et, as has happened in the past. In
other words, the city was bribed.
Kerchink went the citys tax cash reg-
ister.
Now, in Samantha Weigels Sept.

Development slated for Hayward
Park station, I notice that San Mateo
is allowing Caltrain to sidetrack into
2.7 acres of its Hayward train station
(near the proposed Station Park Green
development at the old Kmart site)
and build yet another multi-use com-
plex. Kerchink! And in the last few
weeks newspapers on the Peninsula
and in San Francisco have run articles
about the many cities dashes for
development, followed by readers
letters of frustration opposing the
reckless rush to build. Its spreading
like an epidemic; lets hope the con-
gestion it breeds does not double
every three weeks.
The outdated 2005 Rail Corridor
Transit-Oriented Development Plan
is not a dream. For the city of San
Mateo, and for other towns as well, it
is a nightmare.

Todays drivers are
more dangerous than ever
Editor,
We all grew up putting up with driv-
ers who speed and ignore the speed
limits, who make unsafe lane
changes, who dont stop at stop
signs and who dont use their cars
signals went turning.
However, todays drivers are even
more dangerous than ever. Todays
drivers are more distracted and preoc-
cupied than ever. Even though the law
prohibits the use of cellphones while
driving, I would say that there are
still 10 percent to 20 percent of the
drivers who ignore the law. Then
there are the drivers who still use
their cellphones while driving, but
they try to hide it by holding their
cellphone up to their mouths and
speaking into it. To these drivers, I
say: its hands-free, not ear-free, you
dummies.
Today, there is an even more dan-
gerous group of drivers on the road,
and that is the drivers who hold their
cellphones or other electronic devices
down by their laps, while they read or
write text messages, or look up infor-
mation on their devices, all while
driving their cars or trucks on the
freeway at 55-65 mph.
These distracted and dangerous driv-
ers give themselves away by driving
with their heads looking down at
their devices and not looking at the
road ahead. Ive seen these dangerous
drivers on El Camino Real and other
streets in the San Mateo area. They
are the ones who, when the street
light turns green, dont start moving
forward for awhile since theyre look-
ing down at their devices. These driv-
ers dont care about anybody else but
themselves. They are a menace to
society. Watch out for the other driv-
ers, never meant so much as it does
now.

S
ilence has not served the
National Football League well.
For years the league downplayed its
problem with domestic violence and
lightly penalized its offending play-
ers. That all erupted in a blaze of scan-
dal and bad publicity when a video
camera caught Ray Rice decking his
then-ancee in an elevator.
Now NFL Commissioner Roger
Goodell is clinging to a job and repu-
tation in steep decline.
Another sort of violence lurks
beneath the surface of this league, and
last Sunday reared itself in two stadi-
ums University of Phoenix
Stadium in Glendale and Lincoln
Financial Field in Philadelphia.
Brawls broke out in the stands
between spectators that turned far too
dangerous as people tumbled over
seats and down cement stairs.
The crowd videos are cringe-worthy.
Punches land sharply on faces. People
fall several feet onto hard seats and
sharp corners as those around them
gasp. In Glendale blood spatters the
concrete. Fans nurse bleeding
wounds. Glendale police arrested two
men on assault charges and stadium
security expelled a number of other
people involved in the two ghts that
broke out in the upper decks of the
Cardinals stadium.
The NFL has long known it has a
problem with crowd violence. Last
December, at least three people were
stabbed outside of the Denver
Broncos stadium as fans poured out
into the parking lot following a loss
to the San Diego Chargers.
Former NFL defensive end Akbar
Gbajabiamila wrote at NFL.com in
2012 that even players are concerned
about the safety of their family mem-
bers in the stands.
Fans can be brutal no matter what
venue you go to, he wrote. When I
came into the league in 2003, I was
warned by veteran teammates to tell
all of my family and friends to wear
neutral colors to road games in order
to deect unnecessary attention that
might cause them to be harassed.
Anyone who has frequented NFL
games in the past decade can speak to
the declining spectator environment
encounters with beer-swilling low-lifes
who tease and taunt and nally bully
those around them. The most dangerous
people at football games are not the
huge men playing a violent game,
writes CBS Sports columnist Gregg
Doyel. The true danger is us. We are
the thugs, and we are everywhere.
The NFL has been quietly trying to
address the problem, he explains,
with liaisons to each franchise
focused on crowd security as teams
coordinate with stadium guards and
local law enforcement. Most NFL
teams post a phone line for fans to
text stadium personnel of any prob-
lems or concerns, Doyel reports. And
the league is actively gathering infor-
mation at all stadiums and studying
the ndings.
The league operates quietly on this
front because it doesnt want to alarm
its customers, Doyel says.
Fan violence in the NFL
Repercussions
of concussions
B
efore the domestic violence incidents dominated the
NFL, the major concern was concussions.
According to The New Yorker, the trouble with
football related brain injury is one of abstraction. The real
damage is separated by years from the jarring impact that we
watch in real time. ... Nearly 30 percent of players by the
leagues recent admission will suffer from accelerated cogni-
tive impairment. This concern has spilled over into high
school and Pop Warner football. If enough parents (moth-
ers, especially) forbid their sons to play Pop Warner, it
would reduce the teenage ranks, and eventually pro ball.
As it turns out, fewer young people are playing the
game. According to Time
magazine, quoting from
the Sports and Fitness
Industry Association from
2007 to 2013, tackle foot-
ball participation fell 26.5
percent among kids ages 6
to 11. Leagues across the
country are hoping to
reverse the trend by regu-
lating the amount of con-
tact in practice. California
recently adopted a law ban-
ning full contact like
blocking and tackling
in youth football during
the off-season.
The potential for danger
is particularly acute at the
high school level, where
concussion rates are 78 percent higher than in college foot-
ball, reports Time. Whats worse, high school football
players often lack the medical care and support available to
college and pro players. There is no national organization
governing high school play, so each players safety
depends in part on whatever local regulations exist and the
vagaries of school budgets.
Just last week, three high school football players died
after collisions on the football eld, a 16-year old from
Long Island, New York; a 17-year-old from Troy, Alabama;
and a 17-year-old from Rolesville, North Carolina.
***
I asked Steve Sell, athletic director and football coach at
Aragon High School in San Mateo, how local schools were
addressing the concussion issue. He said one of the most
important challenges is making the sport of football as safe
as possible and letting parents know it.
The main strategy, he explained, to achieve this goal
is how we teach tackling.
Sell has played both football and rugby and says the main
difference between how tackling is taught in the two sports
is the position of the head. In football, the head is supposed
to go across the ball carriers body which produces a more
powerful tackle, but puts the head in a position to make con-
tact with the opposing players helmet, thigh, or shoulder.
Some coaches even teach putting the tacklers face mask in
the opposing players chest or face mask. In contrast, in
rugby, the tackler is taught to keep his head behind the
ball carrier when tackling and to use his shoulders and arms.
The main objective is to keep the head out of harms way
and to make a secure tackle. The tackle may be a bit less
powerful, but the end result is a more secure and safe one.
In 2008, Sell decided to use the rugby tackle and last
year emphasized it before every game and practice. He said
they got some funny looks using this technique in pre-
game drills and there was not widespread acceptance even
within his own program. But when Pete Carroll of the
Seattle Seahawks sent out a tackling video which showed
his team using the exact same rugby tackle Sell was teach-
ing, he felt vindicated.
Maybe more teams will adopt this style and thus reduce
concussion and save youth football, Coach Sell told me.
***
The San Mateo Union High School District has also adopt-
ed a policy of having an athletic trainer at all games and
practices. Thats critical because the trainer has expertise on
all injuries, not just concussions. But most important, it is
desirable to have someone there who is not caught up in the
emotion of the game. The desire to win could cloud the judg-
ment of some coaches and it is advantageous to have a per-
son there who is not as invested in the outcome of the game.
Despite the national statistics, something seems to
working at Aragon. Sells says in the last two years they
have experienced an increase and not a decrease in the
number of students coming out for football. It may be
because parents appreciate the approach of keeping the
head out of harms way, a change in the traditional philos-
ophy of football tackling and the emphasis on safety. And
thats a good thing. Doctors are now worried that too
many children and teens may be dropping out of sports
because of concussion fears when keeping active is
important for a healthy lifestyle. Kudos to Sell and the
high school district for putting such a high priority on
safety. Hopefully, others will follow their lead.

WASHINGTON Hewlett-Packard Co.,
the iconic maker of personal computers and
printers, reportedly plans to split itself
into two separate companies by spinning
off its technology services business.
The Wall Street Journal reported the pend-
ing split Sunday citing people familiar
with the matter, who said an official
announcement could come as soon as
Monday. A spokeswoman for HP declined
to comment on the report.
The breakup would create one company
that sells HPs computers and printers and a
second that focuses on technology servic-
es, including data storage, servers and soft-
ware.
The Palo Alto, California-based company
has laid off tens of thousands of employees
in recent years due to agging sales as con-
sumers turn to mobile devices to perform
basic computing chores. The shift has
curbed demand for HPs desktop and laptop
computers, as well as its printers.
In its most recent quarter, HP posted rev-
enue of $27.6 billion, up 1 percent at the
same time last year. Although only a slight
uptick, it marked HPs rst year-over-year
gain in quarterly revenue since its scal
third quarter in 2011.
Printers and computers contributed 51
percent of the companys quarterly revenue,
with the rest coming from four businesses
that offer various technology services,
including consulting, software and nancial
programs.
HP previously announced plans to wrap
up between 11,000 to 16,000 layoffs by
October, expanding upon the 34,000
employees that it had already jettisoned
from its payroll.
Investors often reward technology com-
panies for slimming down and focusing on
core business offerings.
Last Tuesday, eBay said it would spin off
its mobile payment service PayPal into a
separate and publicly traded company next
year. Investors sent eBay shares up more
than 7 percent in trading on the day of the
announcement.

GM recalls some
Cadillac, Pontiac sedans
General Motors is recalling more than
60,000 vehicles in North America, the lat-
est round of recalls this year for the
automaker.
The company outlined three new recalls
Saturday, the biggest of which affects
46,873 vehicles in the U.S.
The recalls are Pontiac G8s from the 2008
through the 2009 model years and 2011-
2013 model Chevrolet Caprice PPV left-
hand-drive sedans imported from Australia.
The ignition switch key may shift from
the run position when touched by the dri-
vers knee, GM said.
The company is aware of one crash related
to the problem, but no injuries.
Another U.S. recall covers over 10,005
Cadillac CTS-V sedans from the 2004-2007
model years and 2006-2007 model Cadillac
STS-Vs.
On some vehicles, the fuel pump module
electrical terminal may overheat, causing
the ange material to melt, GM said.
That can lead to a fuel leak, increasing the
risk of a stall and re, according to the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration.
GM said it knows of no crashes or injuries
related to the problem.
The automaker also issued a recall for 304
of the 2014 model-year Chevrolet Sonics in
the U.S., saying the vehicles may have a
loose electrical connection in the steering
column that could affect the performance of
the driver-side air bag.
GM is not aware of any crashes, injuries
related to the potential malfunction.
All told, the latest recalls included
57,182 vehicles in the U.S. and 60,575 in
North America.
GMs safety problems began earlier this
year with the recall of 2.6 million small
cars with faulty ignition switches.
The problem caused crashes that are
responsible for at least 23 deaths. GM has
admitted knowing about the problem for
more than a decade yet it failed to recall the
cars until February of this year.

WASHINGTON It could be an awkward
reunion.
Three top former government leaders
who devised the 2008 financial bailouts -
Henry Paulson, Timothy Geithner and Ben
Bernanke - are set to testify this week in a
lawsuit over the governments rescue of
the insurance giant AIG.
Six years ago, their rescue plan revived
AIG, protected its far-flung financial part-
ners and helped save the financial system.
Yet AIGs former CEO, 89-year old Maurice
Greenberg, argues that the governments
bailout was illegitimate and is demanding
roughly $40 billion in damages for share-
holders.
This despite the fact that Greenberg
orchestrated a 2010 deal in which he
unloaded $278 million in AIG shares that
his holding company owned - a windfall
that might have been impossible without
the governments intervention.
The lawsuit alleges that the bailout vio-
lated the Constitutions Fifth Amendment
by taking control of AIG without just
compensation. Greenberg objects to the
governments takeover of a company
approaching bankruptcy in exchange for
what would eventually become $180 bil-
lion-plus in taxpayer-backed loans.
Many legal experts deem the lawsuit a
longshot. But the trial serves as a reminder
that few were satisfied by the govern-
ments response to the crisis - even those
who, like Greenberg, fared far better than
the millions who lost homes and jobs.
For Greenberg, the case represents a
chance to make the former Federal Reserve
chairman (Bernanke) and two past Treasury
secretaries (Paulson and Geithner) defend a
landmark action made at the most perilous
moment for the U.S. financial system
since the Great Depression.
All three, of course, have well-honed and
oft-repeated arguments in defense of the
AIG bailout. Geithner released his mem-
oirs this year, while Paulson appeared in a
Netflix documentary film about his experi-
ences last year. The tight-lipped Bernanke
is now writing his own book.
During the height of the crisis, no pri-
vate company was willing to provide
loans to AIG. The insurer faced severe liq-
uidity pressures that threatened to force it
imminently into bankruptcy, Bernanke
told the House Financial Services
Committee in 2009.
An AIG collapse would have posed
unacceptable risks for the global financial
system and for our economy, Bernanke
said. The viability of state and local gov-
ernments, banks and 401(k) plans was at
risk, he warned.
Greenbergs lawyer, David Boies, is
famed for fighting for gay marriage and
arguing before the Supreme Court on
behalf of Al Gore in the 2000 presidential
election. But in congressional hearings
and news conferences, the three witnesses
he intends to grill before the U.S. Court of
Federal Claims have learned to measure
their words carefully.
The challenge is whether Boies can use
the multitude of their past comments about
AIG to trap them in an inconsistency, said
Hester Peirce, a senior research fellow at
George Mason University and former
Senate Banking Committee staffer.
They are in a pretty difficult position
because they might have to contradict
what they previously said, Peirce said.
For Americans who yearn to see reckless
bankers held accountable in court, its
somewhat surreal to have a lawsuit based
on the premise that the governments res-
cue unfairly punished a company whose
collapse would have threatened the global
financial system.
How so? AIG was overexposed to sub-
prime mortgages back in 2008. Thats
because of a financial instrument known as
a credit default swap. It obligated AIG to
pay out if the mortgages defaulted.
Its stock and credit ratings had nose-
dived. The company largely built by
Greenberg appeared to be freefalling into
bankruptcy, possibly dragging down sev-
eral major investment banks with it.
So the government provided an initial
$85 billion loan - ultimately $182 billion
- in return for an 80 percent stake in AIG.
That 80 percent stake angered
Greenberg. He remained the companys
most vocal shareholder after being ousted
as CEO and chairman in 2005 amid a New
York state investigation into suspicious
financial transactions under his watch.
Greenberg contends that AIG shareholders
were singled out for retribution, while the
government chose to extend loans on far
more generous terms to banks such as
Citigroup.
The division within AIG that undermined
the companys balance sheet was estab-
lished under Greenbergs watch, noted
James Cox, a law professor at Duke
University.
Greenberg probably did create a culture
at AIG that nurtured the aggressiveness of
the swaps business and the excessive greed
that we associated with the crisis, Cox
said. I dont see him as a choir boy in this
process.
On the witness list: Paulson, Geithner, Bernanke

KANSAS CITY, Mo. The Kansas City
Royals waited nearly three decades to return
to the postseason. Now that theyre here,
they want to stick around for a while.
Alex Gordon hit a bases-clearing double
in the rst inning, Eric Hosmer and Mike
Moustakas each homered and the wild-card
Royals nished off a three-game sweep of
the mighty Los Angeles Angels with an
emphatic 8-3 victory Sunday night in the
AL Division Series.
The scrappy team with the quirky manager,
popgun offense, dynamic defense and lights-
out bullpen will open the AL Championship
Series against the Orioles beginning Friday
night in Baltimore. Kansas City went 4-3
against the Os this year.
Ive never seen this group of kids so con-
dent on the big stage, Royals manager
Ned Yost said. Its really fun to see their
development and watch them come into the
postseason and just really take their game
to the next level.
The Angels, 98-64 in the regular season,
became the second team in the divisional
era that began in 1969 to have the best
record in the majors and get swept out of the
playoffs, STATS said. In no small coinci-
dence, the Royals dealt the same humiliat-
ing fate to the New York Yankees in the
1980 ALCS.
Stalking around the mound amid an elec-
tric atmosphere, James Shields lived up to
his Big Game James billing. The Royals
ace gave up homers to Mike Trout and Albert
Pujols, but otherwise held in check a sud-
denly punchless Los Angeles lineup
Shields was helped, too, by a pair of div-
ing grabs by center elder Lorenzo Cain on
back-to-back plays. All told, the highest-
scoring team in baseball managed six runs
in the entire series.
Anything happens in the playoffs,
Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. You
dont go in with any badge saying you won
the most games, and youre certainly not
going to get any points for that going into
the playoffs.
Royals, Orioles both sweep to reach ALCS

SANTA CLARA The day began with
another round of questions about the rela-
tionship between Jim Harbaugh and his
players. It ended with him putting a lot of
trust in them to make a big play.
And just as Harbaughs teams usually do,
the San Francisco 49ers delivered.
The 49ers converted a gutsy fake punt
from deep in their territory and leaned on
ve eld goals from Phil Dawson to beat the
Kansas City Chiefs 22-17 on Sunday, quiet-
ing the drama around Harbaughs future for at
least one more week.
The football team has done good. And the
better you do and the more you do, the more
people try to trip you up, Harbaugh said.
Later, he added: My destiny lies between
these walls with these men.
Reports have appeared since the offseason
that players arent particularly happy with
Harbaugh, and the latest caused 49ers CEO
and acting owner Jed York to speak out.
About three hours before kickoff, York
posted on Twitter: Jim is my coach. We are
trying to win a SB (Super Bowl), not a per-
sonality or popularity contest. Any more
questions?
Harbaugh and his players helped answer
some of them with a critical call late, spoil-
ing the return of former franchise quarter-
back Alex Smith in the process.
The 49ers (3-2) turned to a trick play on
fourth-and-1 from their 29 early in the
fourth quarter, giving a direct snap to Craig
Dahl for a 3-yard run up the middle. Colin
Kaepernick directed the offense downeld,
and Phil Dawson kicked a 27-yard eld goal
with 8:42 to play for the go-ahead score.
It doesnt matter where theyre called on
the eld. You just have to execute, Dahl said.
See the ball, catch it, tuck it away and go.
Dawson also connected from 55, 52, 35 and
30 yards. He credited Harbaugh and the coach-
ing staff for having condence in him to make
the kicks, particularly the two long ones.

Scots head coach Chris Crader deemed the
rst annual Carlmont Invitational a suc-
cess, and not just because of the eclectic
mix of volleyball talent on display at
Saturdays six-team tournament.
Its good to have your own tournament,
because then you can invite your friends and
hang out with your friends all day, Crader said.
In his fourth season at the helm of the Scots,
Crader has obviously befriended some serious
volleyball acionados. Of the six-team eld
including Palo Alto, San Benito, Harbor,
Encinal and Vista del Lago four entered with
overall records of .500 or better.
Palo Alto (15-5) proved the class of the eld,
winning ve straight round-robin matches to
capture the tournament championship. The
Vikings swept through their rst three match-
es against Carlmont, Vista and Harbor before
capturing a pair of three-set victories, includ-
ing a marathon against Harbor which saw Paly
fall in the opening set 33-35 before hunkering
down for a 25-17, 15-10 conclusion.
Carlmont (11-11) posted a 3-2 record
throughout the day. The Scots opened tourney
play against Paly, with the Vikings prevailing
25-20, 25-16. Paly led predominantly
throughout both sets. Carlmont middle blocker
Alexis Morrow emerged with four blocks in the
match. She totaled 18 blocks in the tourney.
We were up and down, Crader said. It was-
nt my favorite match of the day.
Things got better for the Scots in the fol-
lowing match against Encinal (6-5), but not
right away. Game 1 was a back-and-forth
battle which saw the score deadlocked late at
23-23. Carlmont rallied for two straight
points though, and went on to capture the
match, 25-23, 25-12. Morrow totaled six
kills in the match.
We were really emotionally at in the
rst set, Crader said. Then I look up and
its [23-23]. I was wishing we had played

SAN FRANCISCO The Giants know
how realistic it is to rally in the playoffs.
San Francisco leads Washington 2-0 in
the NL Division Series, two years after los-
ing its rst two games at home to the Reds
just as the Nationals did this time. The
Giants became the rst team in major league
history to overcome an 0-2 decit in a best-
of-ve series by winning three straight road
games. They went on to win their second
World Series title in three years, and theyre
still riding a 10-game postseason winning
streak dating back to that run.
Yeah, it can be done, Nationals manager
Matt Williams said Sunday. It can certainly
be done. You have to start with the rst one.
The Nationals next and, perhaps, last
chance comes in Game 3 on Monday at
AT&T Park when San Francisco can close
the series at its picturesque waterfront home
behind 18-game winner Madison
Bumgarner.
Both clubs could be weary following the
Giants 2-1, 18-inning victory that
stretched into Sunday morning. San
Franciscos plane landed back in the Bay
Area just after 5 a.m.The Nationals, who led
the NL with 96 wins, held an optional work-
out under clear skies in Northern California.
A few players tossed a football around in
right eld ahead of batting practice.
After catcher Buster Posey could be seen
blowing on his hands to keep warm a night
earlier in the nations capital, cold weather
shouldnt be an issue during an unseason-
ably hot Indian summer in San Francisco. It
was 81 degrees as Washington players took
the eld Sunday.
Even after the cross-country flight,
Williams wasnt too concerned about his
team being mentally ready to ght for its
season after a pair of one-run defeats. Doug
Fister will pitch Game 3.

American River College had plenty of tricks
up its sleeve. In the end though, it was a good,
old-fashioned prolic quarterback which did in
College of San Mateos undefeated record.
The No. 1 ranked Bulldogs (4-1) fell 24-14
Saturday evening at Sacramentos Beaver
Stadium, suffering their rst loss in ve games.
No. 3 American River (5-0) got big-game per-
formance from sophomore quarterback Tanner
Trosin, who ashed some Division I procien-
cy by gaining 244 all-purpose yards.
Trosin a sophomore transfer from Cal
Poly completed 15-of-25 passes for 154
yards and ran for 90 more. The dynamic dou-
ble-threat did so in less than three quarters of
playing time. He split time with freshman
quarterback Peyton Wiley in the rst half.
Then Trosin left the game at the start of the
fourth quarter after sustaining a bruised thigh
at the tail end of a quarterback keeper.
He won the game for the offensively,
CSM head coach Bret Pollack said. He did
well. Hats off to them. They played well.
The Beavers threw the proverbial kitchen
sink at CSM, executing a fake punt, a recov-
ered squib kick and a fourth-down reverse play
all in critical situations. Above all though,
American River came out with a palpable
intensity from the outset of a convincing win.
Theyre an all-around great team, CSM
slot receiver D.J. Peluso said. I think, the
word is, they exposed us. They fought well.
They came out with a little bit more re than
we did.
CSM was met with intensity from the open-
ing kickoff. The Bulldogs, with the games
rst possession, went backwards in a hurry. On
the games second play from scrimmage, CSM
was hit with a ve-yard false start penalty. It
would be the rst of many, as the Bulldogs
incurred 104 yards worth of yellow ags.
On the ensuing play, Bulldogs quarterback
Justin Burgess was sacked by Antonio Perez
for a 7-yard loss. CSM ultimately went three-
and-out, and once possession changed hands
following a punt, the Beavers kept momen-
tum moving in their direction.
Trosin took the spotlight in leading
American River on a six-play, 52-yard scoring
drive. The 6-1 quarterback completed 2-of-3
passes and ran the ball the other three plays,
tabbing ground gains of 13, 6 and 14 yards.
The 14-yard run punctuated the drive, as Trosin
took advantage of a scattered Bulldogsdefense
by producing a eet-footed gallop around right
tackle to nd the end zone untouched.
They were going to test our rush lanes, CSM
linebacker Randy Allen said. As the game went
on, the rushing lanes got better. But those big
plays in the rst half are what killed us.
The one blemish on Trosins night was his
throwing two interceptions. American River
turned over the ball four times in the game, but
CSM committed even more with ve turnovers.
Burgess tried to rally CSM back from the 7-
0 decit. The effort was there but the execution
was not. The freshman is CSMs only viable
option at quarterback with rst-string helms-
man Jeremy Cannon out of action for the third
straight week with a knee injury. Burgess
completed just 6-of-18 passes for 129 yards, a
majority came in the second half with
American River leading by at least two scores.
CSM produced a golden opportunity to turn
the tide with ve minutes remaining in the
rst quarter when Anthony Hines picked off an
ill-fated Trusin pass. Two plays prior,
American River nearly found the end zone
when Trusin threw to Wadus Parker into 1-on-
1 trafc. Parker looked to be on the verge of a
juggling catch as he neared the goal line, but
CSM freshman safety Elijah Jones sprinted
over to swat the ball away.
Two plays later, Trusin red the red-zone
interception. CSM moved the ball with two
consecutive big runs. Peluso took a play-
action pitch for 15 yards. Burgess followed
with a 10-yard- keeper. But with CSM center
Benji Palu leaving temporarily due to injury,
Burgess fumbled the ball away two plays later
at the CSM 43-yard line. American River
responded by throwing a barrage of slant
routes at the Bulldogs, culminating in a 12-
yard touchdown strike from Trusin to sopho-
more Tyler Young in the back of the end zone,
giving the Beavers a 14-0 lead.
CSM answered back by grinding out a 14-
play, 62-yard touchdown drive, which includ-
ed three third-down gains and one fourth-down
gain for rst downs. CSM sophomore running
back Sammy Fanua ultimately dove in for the
Bulldogs only score of the half, a 3-yard run
around the left tackle that just nicked the goal
line to close the Beavers lead to 14-7.
Then American River unleashed the trick
plays.
With ve minutes remaining in the half,
American River faced a fourth-and-1 from the
CSM 41-yard line. Choosing to play, the
Beavers ran a successful 34-yard reverse to
Young. Four plays later, Ben Trumm booted a
29-yard eld goal to put American River up
17-7 going into the half.
With the score remaining as such late into
the third quarter, American River faced fourth
down from deep in its own territory, but exe-
cuted a fake punt to perfection with a 22-yard
pass from Trumm to Parker. American River
took advantage, producing a 13-play, 76-yard
scoring drive with Wiley throwing to Jjuan
Meldrow for a 19-yard touchdown pass to give
American River a 24-7 lead.
CSM added the games last score on a 19-
yard strike from Burgess to Kevin Kutchera for
a 19-yard touchdown with less than four min-
utes remaining in the game. The Bulldogs used
three timeouts on the Beavers ensuing drive
to regain possession with just over three min-
utes left. But Durrell Crooks who paced
CSM with 68 yards on 15 carries fumbled
on the drives rst play to essentially end it.

touchdown, and Frank Gore ran for 107 yards to offset the
absence of injured tight end Vernon Davis.
The 49ers smothered Smith and the
Chiefs (2-3) after a slow start, including
twice in the closing moments. Smith
threw for 175 yards and two touch-
downs, but Perrish Cox intercepted his
overthrown pass to end any chance
Kansas City had to rally.
Its tough, youre competitive, you
want to win the game. Some of those
guys I played a long time with, said
Smith, who completed 17 of 31 passes.
San Francisco sparked the offense
with the fake punt, and even more big
plays followed. Brandon Lloyd made a
leaping 29-yard catch over 6-foot-3
Sean Smith basketballs version of
the alley-oop, Lloyd said to extend
San Franciscos drive again and set up
Dawsons fourth eld goal.
Dawson also lined up for a 54-yard
eld goal with 4:19 remaining after San
Francisco stopped Kansas City. But the
Chiefs were penalized for having 12
players on the eld, handing the 49ers a rst down.
Dawson nished the drive with a 30-yard eld goal.
Smith and Kansas City took over with 2:12 left and
another chance to come back. But Smith sailed a pass to
tight end Anthony Fasano, and Cox swooped in for an easy
interception.
I thought he handled (the environment) like a champ,
Chiefs coach Andy Reid said of Smith.
On a sun-touched day that sent temperatures into the low
90s in Silicon Valley, both offenses started out hot.
Smith completed six of eight passes for 61 yards on the
games opening drive, capping it with a 2-yard touchdown
pass to tight end Travis Kelce. Jamaal Charles ran for 80
yards to eclipse Larry Johnson (6,015 yards) for second
place on Kansas Citys career rushing list, but was mostly
a nonfactor late.
San Francisco scored on all three of its possessions in
the rst half, though the rst two ended with Dawsons big
right leg. Kaepernick nished off the third drive where he
wanted, rolling to his right and lofting a 9-yard pass to a
wide-open Stevie Johnson to give the 49ers a 13-10 lead.
The Chiefs stopped San Francisco to start the third quar-
ter, and DeAnthony Thomas ran his rst punt return 28
yards, then caught a short screen and sprinted 17 yards for
a score to put the Chiefs back in front, 17-13.
But San Francisco stayed focused and never lost its cool.
NOTES: The often-penalized 49ers nished with just two
penalties for 10 yards. ... Charles needs 52 yards to pass
Priest Holmes (6,070 yards) for the franchise record. ...
49ers rookie running back Carlos Hyde had 43 yards rush-
ing on 10 carries. ... Dawson once made six eld goals in
a game, going 6 for 6 on Nov. 28, 2004 with Cleveland.

joining Brett Favre as the only members
of the exclusive club.
Manning threw a 7-yard dart to tight
end Julius Thomas to give Denver a 7-3
lead over Arizona in the first quarter
Sunday. Thomas has caught six of
Mannings nine TD throws this season.
Manning reached the mark in his 244th
career regular season game, 49 fewer
games than it took Favre.
It was Mannings 101st TD pass since
coming to Denver in 2012 following his
tearful goodbye in Indianapolis, where
he played his first 13 NFL seasons before
sitting out all of 2011 following neck
fusion surgery.
Manning, who added two TD passes to
Demaryius Thomas as the Broncos took a
21-13 halftime lead, figures to surpass
Favres record of 508 TD throws later this
mont h.
On the final play of the first half,
Broncos slot receiver Wes Welker broke
Rod Smiths mark for most catches by an
undrafted player. His 850th career grab,
his third of the game, covered 5 yards.
As he approached the milestone,
Manning acknowledged that, yes, he
looks at his TD throws and interceptions
ever year. If the former is high and the
latter low, that means youre getting
your team in the end zone and ... youre
protecting the ball, which in turn, usu-
ally leads to winning.
His touchstone touchdown came
against two of his mentors: Arizona
coach Bruce Arians and Cardinals assis-
tant head coach Tom Moore. Arians was
Mannings first position coach in 1998
and Moore was his offensive coordinator
during his entire time in Indy.
Mannings first TD toss in a Broncos
uniform was the 400th of his career and it
came on a 71-yard screen pass to
Demaryius Thomas.
Brees surpasses 40,000 yards
NEW ORLEANS
Drew Brees has
eclipsed 40,000 yards
passing for the New
Orleans Saints, becom-
ing the fastest in NFL
history to hit that mark
with a single team.
Brees went over the
mark with an 8-yard
pass to running back
Travaris Cadet in the first quarter of his
132nd game with the Saints, a club he
joined as a free agent in 2006.
The mark Brees surpassed was held by
Hall of Famer Dan Marino, who reached
40,000 yards in his 153rd game with the
Miami Dolphins.
Brees entered Sunday's game against
Tampa Bay with 39,936 yards passing as
a Saint, and 52,284 yards passing for his
career, which includes five seasons with
San Diego.

Theyre ne. Theyre all here, Williams
said. We have an optional workout today,
but the buses are full and they are itching to
get back out there and work today. Last
nights ight was a long one, but there was
a lot of conversation going. Guys were talk-
ing about the previous two games and what
we must do to get back in this thing and win
tomorrow. . . .
They dont panic, for sure. Thats a good
thing.
Bumgarner pitched a four-hit shutout at
Pittsburgh on Wednesday night in the wild-
card game. During this 10-game postseason
winning streak, San Francisco pitchers own
a 0.90 ERA, having allowed 58 hits in 100
innings with 99 strikeouts and 27 walks.
The Giants are looking for the third-
longest postseason winning streak ever and
best since the 1998-99 New York Yankees
won 12 straight, according to STATS.
It could be another pitchers duel two days
after Jordan Zimmermann and Tim Hudson
dazzled.
Fisters last start at AT&T Park was mem-
orable for the wrong reasons. Pitching for
Detroit in Game 2 of the 2012 World Series,
Fister took a line drive by Gregor Blanco
off the right side of his head but stayed in
and carried a shutout bid into the seventh
inning. The Tigers wound up losing 2-0 and
San Francisco swept.
Doesnt matter where he pitches. It could
be here. It could be D.C. It could be the
moon, Williams said.
Now, its up to the Nationals right-hander
to stave off elimination.
Fister, who grew up about two hours away
in Merced in Californias Central Valley,
has watched video of the play many times.
I remember it very vividly. Its not
something that gives me chills or anything
else, Fister said. Its something that Ive
gone back and looked at it just to know
that, you know what, Hey, Im OK. I was
blessed that day to come out on top and not
have to come out of the game.

Saturday gave the Giants a 2-0 NLDS lead.
By Deirdre Baker
DAVENPORT, Iowa When Jeff Hobbs
runs the Chicago Marathon in a couple of
weeks, a bus full of fans from his hometown
will be there to cheer him on.
The 35-year-old Clinton man is a native
of Coal City, Illinois. Family members,
friends and other supporters plan to watch
the Oct. 12 marathon in support of Hobbs,
who was born with a physical disability, the
Quad-City Times reported.
Hobbs has what is called the spastic form
of cerebral palsy, and it affects both his
arms and legs. He thinks he is the rst per-
son with the condition to run a marathon,
which is 26.2 miles in length.
It may take him seven hours to nish the
course that winds through Chicago on the
city streets.
In the process, he may suffer stress frac-
tures in his feet, something that has hap-
pened in the past.
He plans to run through the pain.
Hobbs obviously has guts and no small
amount of courage. Guts, The Jeff Hobbs
Story is, in fact, the title of a 30-minute
documentary about Hobbs. It will be rerun
on Comcast SportsNet
Chicago at least twice
later in October.
Hobbs is a graduate of
the former Mount St.
Clare College in Clinton.
He went there after gradu-
ating from high school
and was on the track and
cross country teams at
both levels. He now
makes a living as a motivational speaker,
talking to school groups, teams, corpora-
tions and businesses all over the country.He
has been ghting naysayers all his life. As
a child, he was told he could not play Little
League baseball, youth football or basket-
ball. He settled on running, which he does
with an altered gait that makes him more
susceptible to the stress fracture injuries.
Hobbs decided last year that he wanted to
run a marathon, so he got an examination
from a sports medicine expert in Iowa City.
He was told not to run, that his body would
break down.
I dont like being told I cant do some-
thing, Hobbs said.
Hobbs not averse to taking risks
then found his way to Genesis Physical
Therapy and Sports Medicine at 53rd Street
and Eastern Avenue in Davenport. He works
out there almost daily with physical thera-
pists, including Matt Rokes.
Hobbs uses special workout equipment,
including the Alter G anti-gravity treadmill
and the Hydroworx underwater treadmill.
Both pieces of equipment decrease the force
of weight on his feet, Rokes said.
Rokes, who is very aware of Hobbs ten-
dency toward stress fractures, is making sure
the mans running shoes are in good condi-
tion and have some extra padding. The
Genesis therapists also have been working
to help change Hobbs gait a little bit.
The mechanics he has now are the best
hes ever had, Rokes said.
He salutes Hobbs for his mental strength
and courage.
Alot of people would never even attempt
a marathon, he said.
Rokes plans to accompany Hobbs to
Chicago, helping him to get ready to run
and to alleviate whatever pain results.
Debra Condotti met Hobbs when he was
just a boy. Condotti, the executive director
at Easter Seals of Joliet, Illinois, has been a
friend of Hobbs mother since the two were
in elementary school.
Ive known Jeffs family all my life, she
said.
Hobbs has a mild form of cerebral palsy
that was noticed at birth, so he received
early intervention services, including forms
of physical therapy available through the
Easter Seals. Although all four of his limbs
are affected, Condotti said there is a mild
degree of impact on each arm and leg.
She describes Hobbs as a very, very
determined man who has been motivated
since he was quite young. Not only is
Hobbs interested in physical achievement,
but he also wants to help others become
motivated to build their self-esteem and
reach personal goals.
Hobbs is grateful for the support he has
received from the team of therapists who
have surrounded him during his marathon
training.
There are always risks involved in life,
but Id rather be a risk-taker and fall short
rather than never know, he said. I cant
live my life in fear. I have to trust in prepa-
ration and believe in myself.
His goal is to be in the best physical con-
dition he can, and he has suspended his
work commitments in order to prepare for
the Oct. 12 event.

As for the Royals, theyre going to be a
team tough to beat in this tournament, he
said.
Kansas City showed off great glovework
in every game, especially by its eet out-
elders. In this one, Cains catches in the
fth inning ended an Angels rally and pre-
served a ve-run lead.
The Royals coasted the rest of the way to
their seventh straight postseason victory
dating to Game 5 of the 1985 World Series,
the last time they were in the playoffs.
George Brett, the star of that team, watched
from an upstairs suite and raised his arms
when ace closer Greg Holland fanned Trout
for the nal out.
This bunch of Royals is certainly making
up for all that lost time.
Kansas City played a 12-inning thriller
against Oakland in the wild-card game, and a
pair of 11-inning games in Los Angeles
before returning home to an adoring crowd
at Kauffman Stadium.
This one had none of the drama, not that
anybody wearing blue cared.
After Trout staked his team to the lead,
Angels starter C.J. Wilson quickly got into
trouble. The left-hander with the $16 mil-
lion price tag this season gave up consecu-
tive singles and a four-pitch walk in the rst
inning to load the bases for Gordon, whose
slicing two-out double gave Kansas City a
3-1 lead.
Sensing the game already slipping away,
Scioscia immediately turned the game over to
his bullpen. It didnt fare a whole lot better.
The Royals kept the pressure on, and even
plodding designated hitter Billy Butler got in
on the act, stealing second base to the roar of
the crowd. It was his fth career steal and rst
in two years, but it typied the way the
Royals have been winning this postseason.
Dazzling pitching, daring baserunning
and some dogged determination.
Os eliminate Tigers to advance
DETROIT Arunaway title in a division
of behemoths, then an unexpected sweep
against a trio of Cy Young winners.
For Nelson Cruz, Buck Showalter and this
unheralded bunch from Baltimore, the ques-
tion now is: Whats next?
Cruz sliced a two-run homer for his latest
big postseason hit, and the Orioles held off
the Detroit Tigers 2-1 Sunday to reach the
AL Championship Series for the rst time
since 1997.
Bud Norris outpitched David Price in
Game 3 of the AL Division Series. The
Tigers scored in the ninth inning and put the
tying run on second with no outs, but
Orioles closer Zach Britton escaped the jam
to lift Showalter into his rst LCS in 16 sea-
sons as a big league manager.
This is fun to watch. Believe me, Im hap-
pier than you can imagine, Showalter said.
But most of it comes from getting to see the
players get what theyve put into it.
Baltimore opens the ALCS on Friday at
home against Kansas City or at the Los
Angeles Angels.
Weve got a lot to go and were grind-
ing, outelder Adam Jones said. If we play
as a team, we can do anything.
So often an afterthought in the rugged AL
East, the Orioles won their rst division title
since 1997 this year, dispatching the sec-
ond-place New York Yankees by 12 games
and last-place Boston by more than double
that margin. That put Baltimore up against
another of the games most star-laden ros-
ters, and Miguel Cabrera, Justin Verlander
and the Tigers couldnt manage a single win.
Cruzs homer Sunday was his 16th in post-
season play, including eight against the
Tigers. He was the MVP of the 2011 ALCS
for Texas in a six-game victory over Detroit.
Cruz spent much of this past offseason
without a team after serving a 50-game sus-
pension last year for violating baseballs
drug agreement.
He knows things were self-inflicted,
Showalter said. He really wanted to re-
establish himself, and we thought that we
could provide a real good opportunity for
him, and the sky might be the limit.
Norris pitched two-hit ball for 6 1-3
innings, and Andrew Miller got ve straight
outs to keep the shutout going.
Victor Martinez and J.D. Martinez
opened the ninth with back-to-back dou-
bles off Britton. Bryan Holaday struck out
after a failed bunt attempt, and Showalter
made the unconventional decision to put
the winning run on base by intentionally
walking Nick Castellanos.
That meant the bottom of Detroits lineup
would have to come through. The Tigers sent
up Hernan Perez who had ve at-bats in the
regular season to pinch hit, and he bounced
a 96 mph fastball into a 5-4-3 double play. It
was Brittons second save of the series.

better to that point, but we scored two
(points) to close out the set and raised our
intensity.
With the score tied near the end of Game 1,
Crader allowed his team to play through the
crisis without utilizing his proactive tactical
style by refusing to call a timeout or make any
personnel changes.
I still felt condent in my team and didnt
feel we needed a timeout, Crader said. Then
we scored two in a row and it kind of jump-
started the second set.
The Scots next matchup fea-
tured a familiar face to Crader in
San Benito head coach Dean
Askanas. The two coached at the
same City Beach Volleyball Club,
albeit never with the same team, for
several years in the
2000s.
Carlmont rolled to a
25-17, 25-21 victory
over the Haybalers (9-
10) with a spark from
Morrow at the service
line. Tied 2-2 at the
outset of Game 1,
Morrow went on a six-
point service run,
including two aces.
Aside from her
good serving, we were
just playing really
well, Crader said.
Morrow and junior
Alex Lay paced the
Scots with six kills apiece.
In its penultimate match of the
tourney, Carlmont suffered its only
other loss to Vista del Lago (4-8)
after a third-set thriller, 20-25, 25-
20, 16-14. The Scots trailed 11-6 in
Game 3, but battled back to tied it 14-14.
Then Carlmont committed a pair of
errors a missed serve and a ball
into the net to end it.
Morrow had nine kills, four
blocks a .538 hitting percentage in
the match.
Carlmont closed out the day with a sweep
of Harbor, 25-22, 25-22. Harbor senior
Mia Richie came out bombing, according
to Crader. But with the Pirates (11-11) lead-
ing 22-19 in Game 1, the Scots scored six
consecutive points with Richie in the front
row to win it. Morrow added nine kills and
four blocks with a .333 hitting percentage
in the match.
Carlmont is highlighting hit-
ting percentage this season for a
reason. After graduating two
prolic outside hitters in
Ella McDonough and
Charlotte Jackman
from last seasons
Central Coast
Section Division I quarternal-
ist team, the majority of the
Scots returning front-row play-
ers in Morrow and Sabrina
Miller are middle hitters.
We try to be pretty balanced,
Crader said. Alot of teams rely
on one or two players. Theres a
lot of teams out there that dont
use their middles for offense. We
use our middles for offense.
Miller totaled 22 kills, six
blocks and a .340 hitting per-
centage throughout the tourney.

ISTANBUL Sue Bird added another gold
medal to her already incredible U.S. basket-
ball resume.
Bird became the most-decorated player in
world championship history when the
Americans won a second straight gold with a
77-64 victory over Spain on Sunday night.
Bird has won three gold medals and a
bronze.
It was a great win for us, Bird said. We
had one goal the entire time this teams
been together and thats win a gold medal. A
lot of people see a lot of talent and think
its going to be easy and its not. Whenever
you can win a gold medal and its a tough
journey, everyones happy. Im denitely
proud of this team.
While Bird was quick to deect what win-
ning a fourth medal meant to her, coach
Geno Auriemma was quick to heap praise on
his point guard.
Shes very indicative of what USA
Basketball is. Shes loyal, a great leader,
everyone respects her, Auriemma said.
Shes been the youngest player on the
team and nows the old-
est player on the team.
Shes seen it all and done
it all. I think when you
talk about USA
Basketball in the future
on the womens side.
There have been a lot of
great names and her
name will be mentioned
very early in the names
of players who play for USA.
Maya Moore scored 18 points and earned
MVP honors for the tournament.
Lindsay Whalen added 12 points for the
United States (6-0), which hasnt lost in a
gold medal game in the world champi-
onship since 1983, when it was beaten by
the Soviet Union 84-82. Except for a hic-
cup in 2006 when the Americans lost to
Russia in the seminals, they have won
every Olympic and world championship
game since 1996. If not for that upset in
Brazil, the U.S. would have ve straight
world titles.
I know when I hear 2006, it still makes
me mad., Bird said of her only bronze
medal.

BEIJING Top-ranked Novak Djokovic
won his fth China Open title in what he called
the most dominant nal of his career, routing
third-seeded Tomas Berdych 6-0, 6-2 on
Sunday in a little over an hour.
Djokovic was one point away from handing
Berdych a double bagel a 6-0, 6-0 defeat
but the Czech player fought off match
point, then broke Djokovic to win his rst
game. He raised both arms in celebration and
smiled with relief as the crowd roared.
The Serb sealed the victory two games later
to improve his sparkling record at the China
Open to 24-0.
I met somebody in the nal who Ive never
seen before, Berdych said. I was just swept
out from the court.
On the womens side, Maria Sharapova out-
lasted Petra Kvitova 6-4, 2-6, 6-3 in a hard-hit-
ting, back-and-forth duel to win the title and
return to No. 2 in the rankings.
Djokovic said he woke up Sunday with a good
feeling, and that continued when he stepped on
court and broke Berdych in the rst game.
Everything felt right, he said. I stepped
on the court with this positive mindset.
Obviously, I felt it from the start.
His statistics looked fairly routine: 19 win-
ners and nine unforced errors, though many of
those came in the two games he lost at the end.
The difference was the way he relentlessly
pressured Berdychs serve and prevented him
from getting close to a break point on his.
This has been, under the circumstances,
probably the best performance in all nals in
my career I played, he said. It was incredible.
Djokovic said hes hoping to carry the
momentum to another title at the Shanghai
Masters next week. Djokovic is on a 25-match
winning streak overall in China, having also
won in Shanghai in 2012 and 2013. He has
not lost in China since Federer beat him in the
Shanghai seminals in 2010.
Sharapova overcame 10 double-faults and a
number of untimely errors to defeat Kvitova in
a rematch of their 2011 Wimbledon nal, won
by the Czech left-hander.
The Russian had leads of 3-0 and 4-2 in
the third set, but made consecutive errors in
the seventh game to give Kvitova break
point to get back on serve. She saved it with
a hard, deep shot to the corner that Kvitova
dumped in the net, then tracked down a short
ball and hit a sharply angled backhand win-
ner to make it 5-2.
After missing the end of last season with an
injured shoulder, Sharapova is now wrapping
up one of her most successful years on tour. She
captured her fth Grand Slam title at the French
Open and now has four titles for the year her
most in a single season since 2006.
With the win, shell also jump past Simona
Halep and Kvitova from fourth to second in the
rankings, within striking distance of top-
ranked Serena Williams.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. Joey Logano
grabbed the rst berth into the next round of
NASCARs championship race with a victo-
ry Sunday at Kansas Speedway.
Loganos win advanced him into the third
round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup cham-
pionship, which begins after stops at
Charlotte and Talladega. Four drivers will be
cut from the 12-driver eld after Talladega.
Getting us to the next round, thats awe-
some, Logano said. This is so much fun,
Im having a blast this year, and weve got a
real shot to win this championship. I feel
like were one of the teams to beat.
It was Loganos career-best fth win of
the season and ties with him Team Penske
teammate Brad Keselowski for most in the
Sprint Cup Series.
Kyle Larson who is not part of the
Chase nished second
and was followed by
championship-eligible
driver Kyle Busch, who
finished a career-best
third at a track where he
has continuously seen
his title hopes fall apart.
I won today, Busch
said, I just didnt get
champagne and a trophy.
Kansas is noted for destroying the champi-
onship chances of many a driver, and Sunday
saw four Chase drivers nish 22nd or worse.
That included three of the Hendrick
Motorsports cars and six-time and defend-
ing NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson.
Johnson, who spun during Friday qualifying
and started 32nd, was mired in thick trafc
when he was hit by Greg Bife just 85 laps into
the race. He was forced to take his Chevrolet to
the garage for repairs and nished 40th.
It just means weve got to be on our game
at Charlotte and Talladega, Johnson said.
Well see how the other Chasers fare. If I
can get taken out today, somebody else can
later in this event or at Charlotte. Certainly
need Ws, I would assume, going forward.
He was spot-on about other Chasers hav-
ing problems. Teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr.
was leading when a at tire caused him to hit
the wall. He nished 39th after leading 45
laps in what had been shaping up to be his
strongest race so far in this Chase.
Just the whole surface of the tire
unwound like a string. It just came off the
tire and it popped off the corner, said
Earnhardt. Man, that was a great race car.
We hadnt been running very good the last
several weeks.
Keselowski was the next to suffer a tire
problem that sent him into the wall. He n-
ished 36th.
Russian Roulette, Keselowski said,
and it was our turn.Kasey Kahne was the
third Hendrick car to see his day fall apart
when he hit the wall. He was 22nd.
With so many drivers experiencing tire
problems, Kevin Harvick grew nervous
when his car suddenly struggled to turn. He
radioed to his Stewart-Haas Racing team
that he had a tire down and pitted under green
from third place.Crew chief Rodney
Childers reported to Harvick that all the
tires were ne, but the damage was done:
Harvick had dropped to 23rd, was out of
contention for the victory and had to charge
his way back to a 12th-place nish. He had
led 61 laps prior to his pit stop.
It puts the pressure on for some of
NASCARs top drivers, most of whom had
feared this second round of the Chase from
the very beginning. They must be perfect
next week at Charlotte to avoid putting
their title hopes on the line at Talladega, a
notorious crapshoot of a race.

Putting his swimming career on
hold after his second DUI arrest,
Olympic champion Michael
Phelps began a six-week program
Sunday that he said will provide
the help I need to better understand
myself.
The winningest athlete in
Olympic history made the
announcement in a series of posts
on his Twitter account.
According to his representa-
tives at Octagon, Phelps entered
an in-patient program that will
keep him from competing at least
through mid-November, though
theres no indication he plans to
give up swimming.
The past few days have been
extremely difcult, Phelps said in
a statement. I recognize that this
is not my rst lapse in judgment,
and I am extremely disappointed
with myself. Im going to take
some time away to attend a pro-
gram that will provide the help I
need to better understand myself.
He added, Swimming is a major
part of my life, but right now I
need to focus my attention on me
as an individual, and do the neces-
sary work to learn from this expe-
rience and make better decisions
in the future.
The 29-year-old Phelps was
arrested early Tuesday and charged
with drunken driving in his native
Baltimore. Police said he failed a
series of eld sobriety tests and
had a blood-alcohol content of
0.14 percent, well above the legal
limit of 0.08.
Phelps retired after the 2012
Olympics in London, having won
a record 18 gold medals and 22
medals overall. But he returned to
competition this year with the
goal of making the 2016 Rio
Games.
His comeback has produced
encouraging results, including
three golds and two silvers at the
Pac Pacific Championships in
August.
Now, swimming is on the back-
burner.
A statement from Octagon said
Phelps was entering a compre-
hensive program that will help
him focus on all of his life experi-
ences and identify areas of need for
long-term personal growth and
development.
Michael takes this matter seri-
ously and intends to share his
learning experiences with others
in the future, the statement said.
While Phelps was still working
out his schedule for the upcoming
year, he will surely miss the rst
U.S. Grand Prix meet at
Minneapolis, which begins Nov.
20. The remaining ve Grand Prix
meets are all in the rst half of
2015 important steps in the
lead-up to next summers world
championships in Russia.
Phelps has already qualied for
the worlds, the biggest meet on
the swimming calendar outside of
the Olympics. He was not plan-
ning to compete in the short
course world championships,
which will be held in early
December in Qatar. The U.S. team
for that meet, which includes
longtime Phelps rival Ryan
Lochte, was announced last week.
Chuck Wielgus, the executive
director of USA Swimming,
praised Phelps for entering a pro-
gram. The governing body sus-
pended him for three months in
2009 after a photo emerged show-
ing Phelps using a marijuana pipe,
even though he was not charged.
USA Swimming has not taken
any disciplinary action for his
second DUI arrest.
We fully support Michaels
decision to place his health and
well-being as the number one pri-
ority, Wielgus said. His self-
recognition and commitment to
get help exhibit how serious he is
to learn from this experience.
Phelps was also charged with
excessive speed and crossing dou-
ble lane lines in the Fort McHenry
Tunnel on Interstate 95, according
to the Maryland Transportation
Authority Police. An officer
reported that Phelps was clocked
going 84 mph in a 45-mph zone.
His trial is scheduled for Nov.
19.
The statement of probable cause
said Phelps eyes were red, blood-
shot, and his speech was mush
mouth. When asked to do a one-
leg stand, Phelps replied, Thats
not happening, according to the
statement.
Phelps was previously charged
with drunken driving as a 19-year-
old, fresh off his second Olympic
games in Greece, where he won six
gold medals. He pleaded guilty to
the charges, but as a young rst-
time offender he was able to avoid
conviction. He was granted proba-
tion before judgment and sen-
tenced to 18 months on probation
and a ne.
If convicted of the latest
charges, Phelps faces up to a year
in jail, a $1,000 ne and the loss
of his drivers license for six
months. However, legal experts
said its unlikely the swimmer
would have to serve any jail time.
Phelps says swimming on hold after arrest
Mirim Lee wins 2nd LPGA
title at Reignwood Classic
BEIJING South Koreas
Mirim Lee won the second title of
her rookie LPGA Tour season,
shooting a 5-under 69 in the nal
round on Sunday to capture the
Reignwood Classic by two
strokes.
Starting the day tied for third,
Lee birdied three holes on the front
nine and added two more on No. 16
and 18 to offset one bogey. She
nished at 15-under 277.
Lees rst LPGA victory came
just two months ago at the Meijer
LPGA Classic, where she beat her
third-ranked countrywoman Inbee
Park in a playoff.
I really didnt think I would get
my second win this quickly, Lee
said. I was a lot more nervous this
time than rst time around.
Top-ranked Stacy Lewis and
Caroline Hedwall, the co-
overnight leaders, both fell
short on a windy final day at
Pine Valley Golf Club.
Hedwall, who was aiming for her
rst LPGAtitle, shot a 73 to nish
second at 13 under.
It was tougher out there today,
the Swede said. I think most girls
out there were struggling a little
bit with the wind, because its a
tough golf course in the wind.
Lewis, meanwhile, started off
her round with a birdie, but
bogeyed No. 7 and added three
more bogeys on the back nine to
slip out of contention. She shot a
75 for equal sixth at 11 under.

e ask people to bring their dog
to meet one of our dogs, but
dont ask the same of cat own-
ers looking to adopt a second cat.
Dog/dog introductions often tell us if they
will be good together by the dogs body
language and actions. We start this
process with both dogs on leash. If all
goes well, they play together, off-leash,
in our indoor dog park. Cat/cat introduc-
tions, on the other paw, give very little
indication of how the two cats will get
along. And, for some cats, there is the
extra stress of being placed in a carrier and
riding in a car to our shelter, then meeting
a new cat in an unfamiliar setting. If you
have a cat at home and are considering a
second one, we can help. We often know
which cats in our care would tolerate or
enjoy the companionship of another cat.
Finally, a few words about dog/cat pair-
ings. Some dogs and cats in our care have
lived with the opposite species. We
dont introduce dogs to cats at our center
because cats need time to warm up to a dog
the slow introduction process is best
done in your home after adoption. When
you bring home your new cat, have your
dog out of sight for the rst day or two.
Set up your new kitty in a cozy room with
all her basics, plus a tall cat tree or a towel
on top of a bookshelf to give her a safe
place out of your pups reach. After your
cat is settled, try a brief intro with your
dog. Your dog should be restrained while
the cat is free to retreat if she feels threat-
ened. Distract your dog with treats if he
tries to lunge or bark. Hissing, growling
and investigating are normal. Keep intros
to a few minutes, and expect several weeks
for your pets to accept one another.

LOS ANGELES Annabelle couldnt
scare off Gone Girl at the weekend box
ofce.
The Fox thriller starring Ben Afeck as a
man whose wife goes missing overcame the
Warner Bros. possessed-doll horror movie
with a $38 million debut, according to stu-
dio estimates Sunday.
Both lms join the recently released The
Maze Runner and The Equalizer in cross-
ing the $30 million mark this fall, a typi-
cally low-earning season at the box ofce.
It was virtually a photo nish, said Paul
Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for
box-office tracker Rentrak. These two
movies couldnt be more different. It shows
how if the marketplace presents a diversity
of product, audiences will come out. Its the
third and fourth $30 million debut of the
past two weeks. Its been
a great post-summer run.
Gone Girl is based on
the best-selling novel by
Gillian Flynn and was
directed by The Social
Network and The
Curious Case of
Benjamin Button film-
maker David Fincher.
The lm earned an addi-
tional $24.6 million internationally.
I think David Fincher made a very
provocative, thought-provoking film,
said Chris Aronson, head of distribution for
Fox. I think there was this crescendo of
publicity and social-media chatter that made
Gone Girl into a zeitgeist-y movie that
you have to see to be part of the conversa-
tion.
Annabelle debuted closely behind
Gone Girl with $37.2 million. The movie
stars Ward Horton and Annabelle Wallis as
new parents who bring the creepy porcelain
plaything seen in last years haunted house
horror The Conjuring into their home.
Sonys The Equalizer, last weeks top
performer, came in third place in its second
weekend with $19 million, bringing its
total domestic haul to $64.5 million. The
revenge thriller starring Denzel
Washington reteams him with director
Antoine Fuqua, who helmed 2001s
Training Day, the film that earned
Washington an Oscar for best actor.
Left Behind, the weekends other big
debut, opened in sixth place with $6.8 mil-
lion. The Rapture-set lm starring Nicholas
Cage is based on the novel of the same
name.
Dergarabedian said overall ticket sales for
the weekend box ofce were $149 million,
an 18 percent increase from the same week-
end last year.

Senior Planner Julia Klein said. It would be
made up of 11,000 square feet of retail space
on the rst oor, 11,000 square feet of ofce
space on the second and 10,000 square feet
of ofce space on the third.
Contaminated soil
This is not the rst time the owners of the
site have applied to redevelop as in 2008,
the Planning Commission approved a simi-
lar proposal, Klein said. However, the proj-
ect was likely delayed due to the sites pre-
vious use, Klein said.
When gas stations leave a site, they
have to remove the tank, but even then,
theres remnants left over sometimes. And
all that is coordinated with the San Mateo
County Environmental Health [Division]
and that, I think, took longer than what the
property owner expected, Klein said.
Since more than two years have passed,
the property owners are required to resubmit
an application.
The northeast corner lot is still in the
process of closing its case with the
Environmental Health Division of the San
Mateo County Health System.
As hazardous waste materials were used on
the sites, each will partake in remediative
cleanup or receive clearance through the
countys Environmental Health Division.
If any of the sites have contamination
on the property they can begin redevelop-
ment, but they have to work with our depart-
ment rst so that we can determine whether
development can go forward while the
cleanup is ongoing, said Heather Forshey,
director of Environmental Health Services
for the county.
Typically, after a station is demolished,
the tank, pumps, pipes and equipment relat-
ed to pumping or storing fuel must be
removed. Soil samples are then collected to
determine if there is contamination,
Forshey said. If the samples are clean, then
no case is opened, Forshey said.
If the site is contaminated, then the prop-
erty owner must undergo
cleanup measures that vary
based on the circumstances,
Forshey said.
It could be something as
simple as excavating the
contaminated soil or much
more complicated than that.
Installing wells where they
inject air to try to extract
contaminants. It could be
something very simple or
something very complex,
depending on a number of
variables. How much contamination there
is, how deep it is, where the water table is,
Forshey said.
The northeast lot is currently working to
close its case, however Forshey said she
didnt know how long they have been work-
ing on it or when its expected to be nal-
ized.
The southeast lot was found to need reme-
diation measures as well, which it complet-
ed in 2005, Forshey said. The northwest
site, where residences have been proposed,
was never issued a case, Forshey said.
Development plans
The northwest site, a former 76 gas sta-
tion, is the newest of the trio and was torn
down within the last year. On Sept. 19, a
pre-application was turned in to build a four-
story residential and retail building on the
11,460-square-foot site, said San Mateo
Associate Planner Gavin Moynahan.
The entire site is proposed to contain 10
two-bedroom units and one three-bedroom
unit spread between the second, third and
fourth oors, Moynahan said.
The pre-application proposes the ground
oor have 5,600 square feet with a 1,000-
square-foot mezzanine, Moynahan said. The
proposal also outlines an underground park-
ing lot with 41 parking spaces for the resi-
dents and retail space, Moynahan said.
A pre-application for the nal southeast
lot was turned in Sept. 26 and is also pro-
posed to become a three-story mixed-use
ofce and retail building, Klein said. The
8,600-square-foot site would ultimately
provide about 23,900 square feet of space
spread between ground-oor retail and two-
stories of ofce space, Klein said.
Klein said shes seen the two eastside
sites sit empty for years and its very unusu-
al, but welcomed, for all three lots to be
moving toward redevelopment.
A lot of this may be the market timing.
So we were in a very large national reces-
sion and the Bay Area was hit as a part of
that, Klein said. With the economy at this
point, I think the timing worked for both of
them, as long as they have their county
health clearance.
The proposals are preliminary, however,
as each is in the pre-application stage and
staff is still reviewing the plans.
Eventually, the proposals will be brought
before the Planning Commission for a study
session and to receive public input, Klein
said.
Ross said he proposed creating an ordi-
nance during the City Councils goal-set-
ting session this year to require properties
on major arteries to maintain or beautify the
lots, such as a park, so as not to stigmatize
other businesses or entryways to neighbor-
hoods.
Im excited that theyre nally coming
forward with some opportunities to add to
the neighborhood, Ross said. The one
that will be residential is in a residential
area so thats very appropriate. And certain-
ly we need more ofce space. We certainly
dont have enough space to facilitate some
of the businesses that would like to come
here now.

opment of the three former gas station
sites, check back in to the citys website in

Man arrested for burglarizing home
after helping intoxicated resident
A20-year-old man suspected of burglariz-
ing a Santa Cruz home last month after
assisting an intoxicated resident inside was
arrested on Thursday, a sheriffs sergeant
said.
Brandon Munoz Hernandez was arrested in
connection with a residential burglary in
the 2000 block of East Cliff Drive that hap-
pened on Sept. 21, sheriffs Sgt. Kelly Kent
said.
The resident, a 66-year-old man, was
intoxicated and walking by Sunny Cove
Drive around 6:40 p.m. when he was caught
the attention of a passing car and asked the
driver for a ride home, Kent said.
The driver, later identied as Hernandez,
complied with the request, the sergeant said.
Hernandez, who was accompanied by a
female toddler, burglarized the home as the
resident was sleeping for several hours and
the entire incident was captured on video by
the homes surveillance system, Kent said.
Multiple tips led investigators to identify
Hernandez as the suspect and a search war-
rant was served at his Watsonville home on
Thursday, according to Kent.
Information at the Watsonville home led
detectives to a Santa Cruz residence in the
100 block of Felker Street where Hernandez
was found, the sergeant said.
He confessed to committing the burglary
and said the stolen property was at a Public
Storage facility in the 2500 block of Soquel
Drive in Santa Cruz, Kent said.
Two large-screen televisions, furniture,
mens suits and golf clubs were among the
items recovered at the Public Storage facili-
t y, the sergeant said.
The toddler with Hernandez at the time of
the burglary is safe and with family mem-
bers, Kent said.
Hernandez was arrested and on suspicion
of burglary, child endangerment and proba-
tion violation. He was booked into county
jail in lieu of $25,000 bail.
20-year-old man suspected
of fatally stabbing mother
A20-year-old man suspected of stabbing
his mother to death in Hayward on Saturday
evening was arrested, police said.
Ofcers responded to a report of a stab-
bing at a residence in the 27000 block of La
Porte Avenue around 6:50 p.m., police said.
Arriving ofcers went to the home and
found a 57-year-old woman lying on the
ground suffering from stab wounds, accord-
ing to police. She was not responsive and
emergency crews pronounced her dead at the
scene, police said.
The suspect, Joseph Badiali, had told a
neighbor he stabbed his mother before of-
cers arrived and stayed at the scene, accord-
ing to police.
Badiali was cooperative with ofcers and
was arrested on suspicion of murder, accord-
ing to jail records. Detectives are continu-
ing to determine the motive behind the fatal
stabbing, police said.
Badiali was booked into Santa Rita Jail
without bail and is scheduled to be arraigned
in the Hayward Hall of Justice on Tuesday
afternoon.
Man severely beaten in
Angels Stadium parking lot
Police were looking for three men sus-
pected of brutally beating a man in the
Angels Stadium parking lot in what appears
to be an unprovoked attack.
The 43-year-old Huntington Beach man
and his relative were walking to a car after
the Angels playoff game against the
Kansas City Royals Friday night when they
were attacked for no apparent reason, Lt.
Bob Dunn said Sunday.
Witnesses alerted Anaheim police ofcers
of the incident, and they found the victim
unconscious. He was rushed to a hospital,
where he was listed in critical condition.
The male relative was not injured.
There is no evidence to suggest that there
was an argument or any type of physical alter-
cation prior to the incident in the parking
lot, Dunn told the Orange County Register.
He said there was no indication the attack had
anything to do with team rivalries.

Beach. The park, which dates from
1975, was put on the auction block
last July after its nonprofit operators
failed to pay roughly $8,000 in back
taxes and OConnell purchased it for
$96,000 via the website
Bidforassets.com. More than a
month later, OConnell received a
letter from County Counsel John
Beiers informing him the county was
canceling the sale because it is in the
countys best interest to keep it as a
public park.
In December 2013, the county offi-
cially took over the park after the
owners of Sams Chowder House paid
the outstanding debt.
But OConnells claim argues that
the county was wrong to recommend
the property be removed from the tax
list and had the power to cancel the
sale prior to a deed being recorded.
The property should not have been on
any tax list because it was purchased
July 23, 2013, and the removal deci-
sion was made Aug. 30, 2013, accord-
ing to OConnell.
This means that the county is try-
ing to rescind a sale rather than just
removing it from a list, thereby mak-
ing its justification using that tax
code wrong, according to OConnell.
He also said that Treasurer-Tax
Collector Sandie Arnott waited more
than month to record the deed which
unnecessarily placed his owner-
ship in the property in perpetual
jeopardy.
The county is taking advantage of
a contract disclaimer which is only
applicable because Arnott failed to
abide by her legal obligation and
therefore the county has no right to
cancel the sale, OConnell wrote.
However, in his letter to
OConnell, Beiers said that the 1975
transaction establishing the park
required the previous owner and any
subsequent owners to maintain the
property as a park. If the sale held,
Beiers, wrote, the bidder would be
required to keep up the park.
The bidder would get no return on
his investment and place the park in
the precarious position of being the
responsibility of a private party
(who has indicated no interest in
undertaking such responsibility),
Beiers wrote.
PARK
three positions will be partially off-
set by costs savings from the
increased pension contributions.
As part of its adjustments, the
Redwood City Council may also
slightly decrease the salary of the
parks, recreation and community
services director. All the changes are
meant to bring the salary ranges in
line with the surrounding market.
Under the proposal coming before
the City Council at Monday nights
meeting, the assistant city managers
salary range will increase 3.98 per-
cent for a $8,497 monthly maximum,
the assistant city attorney will see a
2.88 percent increase topping out at
$14,454 monthly and a community
development services manager in
building will have a 2.44 increase for
a $12,833 monthly top.
The two biggest jumps are for the
position of police captain a 4.11
percent increase for a salary range of
$13,201 to $15,208 a month and
human resources manager which with
a 5.04 percent change will have a
range between $9,191 and $12,673 a
month.
The parks director will drop .14
percent.
The new salary ranges are retroac-
tive to July 1.
The salaries are established by
using the lowest and highest pay-
checks for each position with a group
of cities Redwood City established
for comparison. The new figures are
based on a 2014 market survey.
But just because the salaries are
increased doesnt mean the position
holders will see a fatter paycheck.
The city manager determines those
annually based on performance,
according to Human Resources
Manager Leah Lockharts report to
the council.
Salary changes in the positive
direction are a sharp contrast to after
the last economic recession when
executive management workers took
salary freezes for three of the four
years between 2009 and 2012.
Employees also increased their share
of pension contributions but did
receive a 3 percent cost of living
adjustment in 2013.
The Redwood City Council meets 7
p.m. Monday, Oct. 6 at City Hall,
1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood
Ci t y.
RAISES
In 1857, a citadel that housed per-
sonnel, food, prisoners in single
cells, and it became the focal point for
Alcatrazs social life. It was torn down
in 1908 to make way for the third
prison. Over the years, it became
apparent that the isolation of the
island of Alcatraz would be better used
as a place to hold prisoners and the
military use for protection became less
important as much better sites were
available at the Presidio and Marin
County. In 1912, a new prison was n-
ished that could house 600 prisoners.
From 1915 forward, the island was
used as a prisoner detention center
only and was designated as Pacific
Branch, U.S. Disciplinary Barracks.
In 1933, the Federal Bureau of
Prisons took charge of Alcatraz. The
nation seemed like it was on a crime
spree due mainly to the crime generat-
ed in the 1920s due to prohibition. The
prison was improved for these high-
prole prisoners to be sent here from
Leavenworth, Kan. During the next 29
years of use as a prison, such notable
prisoners such as Al Capone, Robert
Franklin Stroud (Birdman of Alcatraz),
George "Machine Gun Kelly, Mickey
Cohen, "Doc Baker, etc. resided here.
Due to its unique position in the San
Francisco Bay, expenses to house pris-
oners were high. The penitentiary
closed March 21, 1963, due to the
excessive cost of keeping prisoners
on the Island.
Beginning on Nov. 20, 1969, a
group of American Indians, called
United Indians of All Tribes, began
occupying the island demanding
rights for all American Indians. For
the next two years, they remained on
the island demanding that it be
rebuilt as an Indian educational cen-
ter, ecology center and cultural cen-
ter. During this occupation, several
buildings were destroyed by fire and
graffiti was visible everywhere
before this standoff ceased.
At present, the National Park
Service is in charge of the Island. In
1976, the entire island was listed on
the National Register of Historic
Places and was further declared a
National Historic Landmark in 1986.
Rediscovering the Peninsula by Darold

tion of the Daily Journal.

ies and counties are located.

WORLD 31
By Elaine Kurtenbach
and Wendy Tang
HONG KONG Hong Kongs
civil servants returned to work and
schools were reopening Monday
as a massive pro-democracy
protest that has occupied much of
the city center for the week dwin-
dled.
Student demonstrators say they
have taken early steps to begin
talks with the government on
their demands for wider political
reforms, but actual negotiations
have not started and many dis-
agreements remain.
At the government headquarters,
where some protesters agreed to
remove barriers blocking roads
Sunday ahead of the governments
deadline to scale back their
protests, the scene was orderly as
government ofcials arrived for
work as a few dozen remaining
protesters looked on.
The crowds had thinned marked-
ly after a week that saw tens of
thousands of people ll the streets
in peaceful protest. In Mong Kok,
another protest site across the har-
bor where protesters had clashed
violently with their opponents, a
few hundred activists were staying
put at the sit-in site.
Some activists disagree with the
partial withdrawal at government
headquarters, and an alliance of
students say they will keep up
their protests until details of the
talks are worked out.
If the government uses force to
clear away protesters, there will be
no room for dialogue, Lester
Shum, one of the groups leaders,
told reporters.
Alex Chow, another student
leader, said he was not worried
about the crowd dwindling.
Because people need rest, but
they will come out again. It does-
nt mean the movement is dimin-
ishing. Many people still support
it, Chow said.
Students occupying an area just
outside city government headquar-
ters agreed to remove some barri-
cades that were blocking the build-
ings entrance, after the govern-
ment said it would do whatever was
necessary to ensure 3,000 civil
servants would have full access to
their ofces on Monday.
The partial withdrawal appeared
to be part of a strategy to regroup
in another part of town, as pro-
testers were urged to shift from
other areas to Hong Kongs
Admiralty shopping and business
district, a central location near the
governments main offices that
has served as an informal head-
quarters for the protests.
Protesters had feared that of-
cials may clear the streets by
force, but by Monday its clear the
government was settling for a par-
tial victory in clearing some
roads. The government indicated
some disruptions were likely to
continue.
To restore order, we are deter-
mined, and we are condent we
have the capability to take any
necessary action, police
spokesman Steve Hui said. There
should not be any unreasonable,
unnecessary obstruction by any
members of the public.
Hong Kong officials resume work as protests thin

IGUALA, Mexico Mexican
forensic experts recovered 28
charred bodies from a clandestine
grave on the outskirts of this city
where police engaged in a deadly
clash with student protesters a
week ago, Guerrero states chief
prosecutor said Sunday.
State Prosecutor Inaky Blanco
said the corpses were too badly
damaged for immediate identica-
tion and he could not say whether
any of the dead could be some of
the 43 college students reported
missing after the confrontation
with police. He said genetic test-
ing of the remains could take two
weeks to two months.
Blanco said one of the people
detained in the case had told inves-
tigators that 17 students were
taken to the grave site and killed
there. But he stressed that investi-
gators had not conrmed the per-
sons story.
State police and prosecutors
have been investigating the
Iguala city police for misconduct
during a series of violent incidents
last weekend that resulted in six
shooting deaths and more than
two dozen people injured.
Investigators said video showed
police taking away an undeter-
mined number of student protest-
ers after a confrontation.
Authorities have presented
charges against 29 people in the
case, including 22 police ofcers
detained soon after the violence.
Three of the suspects are fugitives,
including Igualas police chief.
Blanco said they are still investi-
gating the motive for the crime,
adding that some of the police have
connections to a local drug cartel.
Blanco said Saturday that some
of those arrested had provided key
clues that led investigators to the
unmarked burial pits on an isolat-
ed hillside on the edge of Iguala,
which is about 120 miles (200
kilometers) south of Mexico City.
Speaking at a televised news con-
ference Sunday, he said the site is

Columbia, SCIn a 2002 issue of Neurosurgical
Focus, a peer-reviewed article was published by a
Dr. Michael D. Martin, MD et al. in which the third
sentence states: The disc itself is active tissue that
contains signincant mcchanisms for sclf-rcpair.
That article was published by a neurosurgeon and
written directly for neurosurgeons.
The Disc Itself Is Active Tissue
So what does that really mean to us? It tells us
that the disc itself does have a God-given ability to
heal and repair if provided the proper mechanisms
for sclf-hcaling. Thcrc is a spccinc mcchanism
inherent in each of the spinal discs called the pump
mcchanism of disc nutrition (scc Iig 1). Whcn this
mechanism is not working properly, the spinal discs
will begin to die causing bulges, herniations, and
eventually spinal stenosis.
The spinal disc is one of the very few tissues in
the body that does not have a direct blood supply
for circulation. The only way that the disc gets the
circulation of water, oxygen and nutrients for self-
rcpair is via this spccinc disc pump mcchanism.
What happcns whcn you dccrcasc circulation in
any type of tissue, whether it be animal tissue, plant
tissue or human tissue? Exactly, it begins to become
weak and begins to degenerate.
Symptoms Are NOT The Problem
Now the symptoms of pain, numbness, and
tingling that most experience with bulging,
herniated or degenerative discs are NOT the
problcm. Thc dcnnition of a symptom: somcthing
that indicatcs thc cxistcncc of somcthing clsc. It is
just like the dashboard of your car telling you that
somcthing is wrong (brakc lights out, cnginc nccds
chcckcd, ovcrhcating, ctc.) Thosc lights that appcar
in your car dash are NOT the problem. You can
remove the lights surgically or put a piece of duct
tape over the lights but the problem will NOT be
nxcd...thc problcm is still prcscnt.
Lets take a look at a plant for example...if the
leaves on a plant begin to turn brown, would you
say that the brown leaves are the plants problem?
Of course not, the leaves turning brown is just a
condition that is telling you that there is something
wrong with the plant. The plant is unhealthy and
needs water and nutrients. You could spray paint the
leaves green but it just covers up the condition. The
underlying problem still exists and will continue
to producc brown lcavcs until you nx thc actual
problem.
In your spine, when the pump mechanism of disc
nutrition fails, the disc will begin to degenerate and
become weak. This weakness in the disc is what
produces the bulging, herniated, and degenerative
discs.
The treatment that is provided at Bay Area Disc
Ccntcrs is rcvolutionary and is spccincally dcsigncd
to artincially rc-crcatc thc pump mcchanism in
the discs which allows the spinal discs to heal
and repair. The best part of the treatment is that it
uses no drugs, no injections, and no surgery. Plus
its painless and many patients fall asleep while
undergoing the treatment.
The amount of treatment needed to allow the discs
to heal and repair varies from person to person and
can only be determined after a detailed neurological
and orthopcdic cvaluation. Wc do NOT acccpt
everyone for treatment and will let you know if we
can accept your case for treatment.

Sciatica and Herniated Discs
May be to Blame for Pain
in Your Back and Neck
LOCAL CLINIC OFFERS FREE CONSULTATION TO THOSE SUFFERING FROM BACK AND NECK PAIN
Did you know that 30 million Americans suffer
from back and neck pain every day? Sciatica
and herniated discs are often misunderstood.
They can cause pain and numbness in the
back, neck, legs, and feet. This pain affects
everything that you do, from work to play, and
ultimately your quality of life. We are here to tell
you that there is hope. We have the technology
and experience to help you nd relief from
sciatica and back pain. At Bay Area Disc Cen-
ters, we have helped thousands of pain suffer-
ers just like you. We offer only the most
advanced non-surgical treatments.
Are pain pills effective, long-term solutions
when dealing with Sciatica and Back Pain?
ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Until now, people have masked their pain by
frequently taking prescription pain pills. This
type of pain relief is temporary. Often these
treatments lead to even more health problems
or worse yet addiction. Many people inno-
cently fall into abusing prescription pain pills
while initially using them to alleviate real,
constant pain.
Is Surgery the Answer?
It is true that surgery may be the answer for
certain types of back injuries. When consider-
ing your options, ask yourself this question If
there is a solution to backpain that doesnt
require surgery, is it worth exploring?
The Solution: TDCTM Therapy
TDC Therapy Traction Decompression Com-
bined Therapy is a proven treatment exclusive
to Disc Centers of America doctors for the relief
of neck and lower back pain. By utilizing trac-
tion thats isolated to the spinal segment
involved, the purpose is to create spinal decom-
pression as a result to specic traction. TDC
Therapy offers a signicant success rate and
patients have experienced dramatic pain relief
and healing. This nonsurgical solution is
changing the way doctors treat severe disc
conditions. TDC Therapy is a unique and inno-
vative approach for the relief of neck and lower
back syndromes, including:
herniated or bulging discs
egenerative disc disease
Fosterior facet syndroue
Spinal Stenosis
Sciatica
TDCTherapyis nonsurgical and noninvasive.It
is a gentle form of traction and disc decompres-
sion. The treatment is not only safe, but also
comfortable and relaxing. The goal is symptom-
atic relief and structural correction.
How Does TDCTM Therapy Work?
TDC Therapy can isolate a specic vertebra
and distract the vertebrae surrounding an
injured disc 5 to 7 millimeters. TDC Therapy
treatment isolates the specic vertebrae that
are causing the pain. The 25to30minute treat-
ment provides static, intermittent, and cycling
forces on structures that may be causing back
pain. Negative pressure promotes the diffusion
of water, oxygen, and nutrients into the verte-
bral disc area, thereby rehydrating the degen-
erated disc. Repeated pressure differential
promotes retraction of a herniated nucleus
pulposus. The TDC Therapy treatment works to
reduce pressure on the vertebral joints,
promote retraction of herniated discs, and
promote selfhealing and rehabilitation of dam-
aged discs, thereby relieving neck or lower
back pain.
