New law
restricts
firearms
Measure makes it a misdemeanor
to display an unloaded gun in public
By Hannah Dreier
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown announced Friday
that he had extended a ban on the open display of handguns in
most California cities and towns to include ries and shotguns.
Assemblyman Anthony Portantino, D-La Canada-
Flintridge, said he wrote AB1527 after gun rights advocates
began carrying unloaded long guns to protest a law from last
year that prohibited the display of handguns.
The measure will make it a misdemeanor to display an
unloaded rearm in a public place. It includes dozens of
exemptions for hunters, members of the military, rural

The Zamzee is an activity meter that
measures movement for kids.
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Getting kids moving is a chal-
lenge facing so many its become a
national issue.
As a result, Redwood City-based
HopeLab started working on a prod-
uct to help. The Zamzee, an activity
meter that measures movement, was
the result of years of work. Results
of a study released last Sunday
showed the pocket-sized device that
links to an online world increased
physical activity levels by 59 per-
cent over a six-month period. The
study sponsored by HopeLab and
the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation also found that children
participating had reduced biological
risk factors for heart disease and
diabetes.
This study shows that technolo-
gy is not just part of the problem; it
can also be part of the solution in
helping kids be more physically
active, Steve Cole, vice president
of research and development at
HopeLab and professor of medicine
at the University of California at
Los Angeles, said in a prepared
statement.
Cole added the results showed
children used the activity meter
long enough to improve biological
processes that can lead to long-term
health problems due to sedentary
lifestyle.
Founded in 2001 by Pam
Omidyar, who continues to serve as
board chair, HopeLab identied ve
areas cancer, obesity, sickle cell
disease, major depressive disorder
and autism in which there are
signicant unmet needs for chil-
dren. The nonprofit works with
experts in a wide range of elds
including research, psychology,
game development, nutrition, com-
munication, health law and policy

Contractor severs gas line in
Burlingame, evacuation ordered
A contractor severed a natural gas line on
Douglas Avenue in Burlingame Friday after-
noon, cutting service to a duplex and trigger-
ing evacuation warnings in the neighborhood,
according to a PG&E spokesman.
The leak occurred 2:20 p.m. Friday when a
contract working on the 1100 block of
Douglas Avenue severed a three-quarter inch
line serving two homes in a duplex, PG&E
spokesman Joe Molica said.
The leak closed the affected block of
Douglas and the 400 and 500 blocks of
California Drive, and triggered evacuation
warnings to residents in the area.
Molica said PG&E crews were on scene
within about 12 minutes and were able to shut
off gas to the broken line at 3:12 p.m. The
evacuation orders for area residents were
rescinded just after 3:15 p.m.
The situation is safe, the gas is off, Molica
said.

Sheriff s officials report
increased incidents at womens jail
An influx of state prisoners at the San
Mateo County Womens Correctional Center
is causing an increase in criminal acts inside
the facility, according to the San Mateo
County Sheriffs Office.
One incident Sunday, Sept. 16 involved an
inmate with only one week remaining on her
sentence who threatened a correctional offi-
cer with violence. The inmate, Yasmin
Jenkins had been in custody since Dec. 30,
according to the Sheriffs Office.
In the last two weeks, a state inmate
punched a newer county inmate in the upper
body several times because her long hair
accidentally touched the state inmates towel
in passing. Then within minutes, another
state inmate punched a newer county inmate
in the back after the county inmate refused
to give the state inmate money. Custodial
staff has seen other instances of state
inmates targeting newer county inmates,
especially those who are non-English speak-
ing, according to the Sheriffs Office.
There are 14 female inmates housed in the
maximum security area and most were
placed there were for incidents involving
violence or drug use stemming from previ-
ous relationships and associations made
while serving time in the state prison sys-
tem.

Spare the Air Day
announced for Saturday
A Spare the Air alert has been issued for
Saturday by Bay Area air quality officials.
The alert, issued by the Bay Area Air
Quality Management District, means that air
quality is expected to be poor and residents
are advised to reduce driving and avoid out-
door activities during the hottest parts of the
day.
The alert is triggered in part by a forecast
for sunny weather, officials said.
This late summer hot spell means poor
air quality is expected in the Bay Area, said
Jack Broadbent, executive director for the
district.
Spare the Air alerts are triggered when
ozone pollution is forecast to reach
unhealthy levels.
Ozone can cause throat irritation, conges-
tion, chest pain and inflammation of the lin-
ing of the lungs. Those with asthma, bron-
chitis and emphysema are especially vulner-
able, as are young children, seniors and
those with respiratory and heart conditions.
Residents are asked to avoid driving on
Spare the Air days. There is no free transit
offered, and no wood burning ban is in
place.

Burlingame set to
study downtown
parking structure
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Downtown Burlingame parking could get
a boost from a new structure an idea the
City Council will consider studying
Monday.
On Sept. 4, the Burlingame City Council
held a study session to discuss an initial
analysis of a downtown parking structure
near Burlingame Avenue. As a result, the
council requested a more detailed study be
conducted to learn the feasibility of such a
project. On Monday, the council will hear a
report about the scope of a possible study
with CDM Smith that would cost $31,203.
If the council moved forward, the study
would include looking at a number of
options:
Update Lot J with or without the pur-
chase of adjacent property;
Update Lot E with and without the pur-
chase of adjacent property;
Lot N with the purchase of adjacent
property;
Combination of Lots A and C; and
Combination of Lots C and D together
with the purchase of adjacent properties.
An analysis would take the 55-foot height
limit and traffic into account. There would
also be focus groups held before putting rec-
ommendations together. Work could be con-
ducted in October and would be estimated to
take four to six weeks.
Lots A, C and D are located on Donnelly
Avenue. Lots J and E are in blocks between
Primrose Road, Burlingame Avenue,
Howard Avenue and Lorton Avenue.
The council meets 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 3
at City Hall, 501 Primrose Road.

Brown signed a bill by state Sen. Joe Simitian,
D-Palo Alto, that would make it easier for surplus,
unopened medication to be donated to uninsured
Californians.
Senate Bill 1329 builds on previous Simitian leg-
islation (SB 798, signed into law in 2005), which
for the first time allowed California counties to
establish drug redistribution programs, according to
Simitians office.
Senate Bill 1329 allows a greater number of
health care facilities to donate surplus, unopened,
unexpired medications to Californians in need; per-
mits nonprofit community clinics and certain phar-
macies to receive the donated medications; and
makes it easier for county boards of supervisors or
county public health officials to initiate a drug
redistribution program, according to Simitians
office.
Brown signed a bill to establish statewide stan-
dards for the installation and operation of traffic
enforcement cameras, and make it easier to chal-
lenge unjustified tickets.
Senate Bill 1303, by Simitian, would:
Require camera locations be based solely on
safety considerations;
Specifically prohibit the use of red-light cam-
eras to raise revenue;
Require cities and counties to follow state stan-
dards in the placement and operation of cameras;
Require adequate signs to notify drivers when
red-light cameras are in use;
Prohibit so-called snitch tickets (i.e., an inno-
cent ticket recipient may not be required to identify
another driver in order to clear an inaccurate ticket);
and
Make it easier for a wrongfully ticketed driver to
get a ticket cleared.

Its not exactly about getting the
right type of pepper for Greg
Matonis to make the perfect salsa.
Hes always going to opt for a
jalapeno. But on Thursday, after
buying 25 pounds of peppers,
Matonis realized they just werent
right. His wife was able to eat one
whole which could only mean one
thing those peppers were not hot
enough.
Matonis visited four stores
Thursday to get peppers with the
right kick to make his salsa. The 57-
year-old will be making salsa for the
fifth year Saturday at Redwood
Citys fth annual Salsa Festival.
Held from noon to 8 p.m., the free
event is at Courthouse Square. The
festival will feature a variety of
Latin music and a competition
between amateur and professional
salsa chefs.
Matonis has made the competition
in his hometown a family tradition.
He started making salsa in 1991.
I eat so much of it, it got expen-
sive, Matonis said of his salsa-eat-
ing habit.
His wife came up with a basic
recipe and Matonis took to perfect-
ing it. For about 14 years, hes been
making the same spicy recipe. He
likes his salsa hot and lucky for
him can take the heat while still
tasting the avor. Matonis knew he
found a winning recipe after bring-
ing some to work and nding others
would take the salsa.
Since taking part in the competi-
tion, Matonis has had years when
hes won peoples choice and best
hot. This weekend, hell be making
nine gallons of his recipe on site.
Part of the fun is chatting with other
salsa fans, he said. This year,
Matonis spicy salsa will follow the
traditional recipe, however, he will
have better decorations.
And Matonis will have steady
competition.
Im excited about the level of
quality of our salsa competitors,
said Lucas Wilder, who oversees
special events for the city. There
are currently nine award winners
from previous years returning to
compete. They are all really pas-
sionate about it and getting their
questions on things theyd like to do
differently this year has me excited
that all of them are really stepping
things up.
Its not just about eating some-
thing with a bit of heat, there is an
impressive lineup of music as well
including salsa, jazz and Latin rock.
Music, which starts at noon, will be
spread out over three stages
throughout downtown. In addition,
there will be hands-on art projects,
carnival rides and tequila and micro-
brew tasting for those old enough
to enjoy alcoholic drinks.
The Redwood City Salsa Festival
will be held from noon to 8 p.m.
Saturday, Sept. 29 at the Courthouse
Square, 2200 Broadway. For more

A Foster City attorney who prose-
cutors say tried to cash a fake
$280,000 cashiers check at a bank
was sentenced to a day in jail and
ordered to serve 400 hours of com-
munity service.
Marc S. Weissman, 56, claimed
he knew the check was fraudulent
but that the Chase Bank hotline had
directed him to bring it into a
branch.
On June 7, after a four-day trial, a
jury convicted Weissman of felony
burglary and felony passing a cti-
tious check. During sentencing,
Judge Jonathan Karesh declined a
defense request to reduce the case to
a misdemeanor and imposed the
one-day jail term along with three
years supervised probation.
Weissman allegedly attracted sus-
picion Jan. 22, 2011 when a bank
employee felt his identication to
cash the check was fraudulent and
reported it to his assistant manager.
Weissman produced a letter from a
man whose name was on the check
and, when told the check would be
retained by the banks fraud divi-
sion, reportedly tried grabbing it
away from the teller. Weissman told
responding police he knew the
check was part of a scam and was
just conrming his suspicions.

A convicted child molester who
reportedly had child pornography
and videos of young neighborhood
girls everywhere in his Daly City
home during a parole search faces
25 years to life in prison after being
convicted of his third strike for pos-
sessing obscene material.
The defense for Ronald Ernest
Morales, 57, argued his wife or a
fugitive receiving mail at his resi-
dence could have actually possessed
the items and he claimed ownership
in a police interview as a means to
protect them. However, Judge Cliff
Cretan convicted Morales on the
felony charge and found true his
prior convictions.
Morales was on parole for child
molestation and possession of child
pornography when a state parole
agent conducted a search of his
home on June 7, 2011. The agent
testied in Morales court trial that
child pornography was essentially
everywhere,
according to the
D i s t r i c t
A t t o r n e y s
Ofce.
Pr osecut or s
say his cache of
photographs and
videos showed
girls ages 6 to
14 posing and
engaged in sex acts. There were also
videos zooming in on specic body
parts of young neighborhood girls.
The images were in boxes through-
out the home, including bedrooms,
the dining room, the sun room, his
vehicles and a metal shed.
At the time of his 2002 convic-
tion, two defense doctors submitted
reports to the court concluding
Morales was unlikely to re-offend,
according to District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.
Morales will be sentenced Nov.
15 and remains in custody in lieu of
$250,000.

SACRAMENTO California
Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation
Friday that will create the nations
first state-run retirement savings
program for private-sector workers,
over the objection of critics who
said it creates a new liability for tax-
payers.
The bill will establish the
California Secure Choice
Retirement Savings Program for
more than 6 million lower-income,
private-sector workers whose
employers do not offer retirement
plans.
The program directs employers to
withhold 3 percent of their workers
pay unless the employee opts out of
the savings program every two
years. It would be administered by a
seven-member board chaired by the
state treasurer.
State Sen. Kevin De Leon, D-Los
Angeles, introduced the bill earlier
this year in response to what he
called the looming retirement
tsunami as millions of lower-wage
workers face nancial hardship in
their retirement years. He said the
program will act as a supplement to
Social Security by offering private-
sector workers a portable savings
plan with a guaranteed return.
He said the program is not a pen-
sion but rather acts as a savings
account, which could be a national
model for improving retirement sav-
ings.
This is a major step forward for
retirement security in America, De
Leon said in a statement. I am
grateful for Gov. Browns acumen
and with his leadership we are set-
ting the path for middle class hard-
working Americas to prepare for
retirement so they wont be forced
into poverty.
State Sen. Mimi Walters, R-Lake
Forest, called SB1234 the worst
bill to make its way out of the legis-
lature this year because it would
allow the states main pension sys-
tem to invest the money.
Walters noted that the California
Public Employees Retirement
System is running a shortfall and
that the savings program will be
controlled by a group of career
politicians.
Calif. creates state-run
private retirement plan
PHILADELPHIA For a day,
the presidential contest was almost all
about money money to wage the
presidential contest, that is. Mitt
Romney promised to help Americans
earn more, but he and President
Barack Obama focused mostly on pri-
vate fundraisers and big checks to fuel
their 40-day sprint to Election Day.
Obama courted donors in
Washington on Friday, while his
Republican challenger did the same in
Philadelphia and
Boston, both
men trading
swing-state ral-
lies for fundrais-
ing in places
unlikely to play a
signicant role
in the election of
the next presi-
dent on Nov. 6.
R o m n e y
admitted as much during a fundraiser
at Philadelphias exclusive Union
League Club.
The former
Massachusetts
governor said it
would surprise
everyone if he
c a r r i e d
Pennsylvania, a
state that hasnt
supported a
Republican pres-
idential candidate in nearly a quarter
century.
We really would shock people if
early in the evening of Nov. 6 it
looked like Pennsylvania was going
to come our way and actually did
come our way. That can happen,
Romney told about 200 donors who
paid between $2,500 and $50,000 to
hear his remarks.
My priority is job creation and
growing incomes, Romney contin-
ued. My priority is not trying to
punish people who have been suc-
cessful.
The former businessmans remarks
came at the rst of three private
fundraisers sandwiched around a
midday rally. Obama kept close to
Washington with a schedule of three
fundraisers of his own.
After a midafternoon fundraiser at a
downtown Washington hotel, Obama
joined about 90 people who paid
$20,000 apiece to attend an event
hosted by Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-
W.Va. The setting was Rockefellers
home, one of Washingtons grandest
mansions sitting behind a long, wind-
ing driveway near leafy Rock Creek
Park.
Presidential contest shifts focus to raising money
I am grateful for Gov. Browns acumen
and with his leadership we are setting the path
for middle class hard-working Americas to prepare
for retirement so they wont be forced into poverty.

Barack Obama Mitt Romney
By Dwight L. Schwab
I
n case anyone just arrived from Mars,
the mainstream media wants Mitt
Romney to fail in his quest for the
White House.
Surprised?
They will do whatever possible as legiti-
mate journalists to collaborate with the
Obama re-election campaign shamefully
so.
Brent Bozell, founder and president of the
Media Research Center sure thinks so.
Thats like asking, Is the pope Catholic,
he said when asked if the mainstream media
is biased.
If more proof was actually necessary,
secret videotaping of Romneys private
fundraiser last May in which he said 47
percent of Americans would support
President Obama no matter what because
they dont pay federal income taxes solidi-
ed that belief.
Why?
Because its true and the media knew
damn well knew he misspoke about actual
percentages he portrayed as victims. Did
the media really think Romney would com-
mit political suicide, taped or not, including
legitimate Americans such as the elderly
(Social Security and Medicare)?
The mainstream media is in the tank for
Obama. Every student journalism can recog-
nize that. Its too late for most already
involved professionally. Most of them
have already violated most of the ethical
rules and sold their souls to Obama long
ago.
As a journalism graduate from the
University of Oregon, I am personally
ashamed.
As Bozell said, They have taken this
completely out of context with Romney ...
and it doesnt bother them.
As a freshman student in the Journalism
School at the University of Oregon in 1972,
I witnessed rsthand just what journalism
was and is in many cases. Keep in mind that
the students in my class are now 40-year
veterans of the media now in their late 50s
or early 60s senior members of the
Fourth Estate.
In November 1972,
incumbent President
Richard Nixon defeated
Democratic challenger
George McGovern in an
historic landslide elec-
tion. The U of O student
newspaper, The
Emerald, distributed to
more than 30,000 stu-
dents printed the headline, Nixon Wins! in
large boldface type the next morning.
Nothing out of the ordinary except it was
accompanied by photos of dead Vietnamese
babies.
I immediately felt shame being a journal-
ism major. My future career? There was no
way in hell I was going to work on the stu-
dent paper as mandated and, after long
debate, I was granted a waiver for such
duty the rst in almost 100 years of tradi-
tion.
The outing of Romney at a private
fundraising dinner is the most atrocious
example of media bias Ive ever seen,
Bozell said.
Contrast that with the tepid reporting of
Obamas 1998 remarks advocating the distri-
bution of wealth. Hardly a word from the
media days after the Mother Jones sneak
attack. Can anyone imagine the medias out-
rage if the roles were reversed?
Their narrative advances Barack Obama
chances of re-election its news. If not,
its not news at all. The 47 percent remark
Romney was wrong and Romney didnt
mean what he said. No matter. The compli-
ant media will stop at nothing for their
Messiahs re-election.
Yet, an actual tape emerges clearly illus-
trating Obamas socialist beliefs even
though he has denied it all along in his pub-
lic life.
No coverage. Why?
Negative coverage has affected Romneys
standing in the polls. Theres no doubt.
You can blow the whistle on the media
over and over and over again but if they
throw stuff against the wall, non-stop ... and
thats what theyre hoping, Bozell said. Its
keeping Mitt Romney down, and its Barack
Obama up.
Consider the news medias coverage of the
terrorist attacks at the American Consulate
in Benghazi that led to the deaths of U.S.
Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three
other Americans.
Media collective summation? Nothing
more than a hill of sand.
The Obama administrations made lame
excuses and trotted out the U.S. Ambassador
to the United Nations Susan Rice. Where
was Stevens immediate superior, Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton? Huh?
The media was mute.
Meanwhile, Romneys initial comments
are ridicules. Just days later, his comments
are conrmed as true and the attacks were
indeed organized terror and the Obama
administration was apologizing for some
obscure video murderers claimed was their
base of anger.
The medias response? Crickets and
rolling sage brush.
California Republican U.S. Rep. Darrell
Issa, chairman of the House panel investigat-
ing the botched Operation Fast and Furious
debacle is ridiculed in the press. Recently, a
500-page report on the debacle is published
graphically showing the sheer incompetence
of Eric Holders Justice Departments han-
dling of the operation.
Media coverage? Minimal.
Am I glad to have a BS in journalism?
Yes. Am I proud?
No.

Nobody wants to
rush toward taxes and death
Editor,
Although it is true that there is no guarantee
of anything in life outside death and taxes
(Letter: Netanyahu and Dr. Strangelove by
Mike Caggiano, from the Sept. 26 edition of
the Daily Journal), nobody wants to speed up
the arrival to these two events. This is why the
world is nervously watching the steady march
of the Iranian ayatollahs toward acquiring the
atomic bomb.
Yes, during the cold war, the West and the
Soviet Union had the capacity to annihilate
each other together with all of civilization
along with them. But The Bomb worked as a
deterrent of any aggression.
Meanwhile, current Iranian leaders using
threats and means of aggression to achieve
their maniacal goal of eliminating Israel and
punishing the Big Satan, also known as the
United States, and there is little doubt that
adding a nuclear bomb to their military arsenal
can only encourage them to turn their threats
into reality.

Worker savings
plan deserves
in-depth study
The Sacramento Bee
S
hould the state of California create
a state-administered retirement sav-
ings plan for private-sector workers
funded with an automatic 3 percent payroll
deduction?
Senate Bill 1234 by state Sen. Kevin de
Len, D-Los Angeles, would require the
state to study the feasibility of such a plan.
Should the study show that the idea is fea-
sible, a companion measure, Senate Bill
923, would require that the concept go back
before the Legislature for final approval.
This subject is getting national attention.
The Wall Street Journal editorial board
called the idea one more pension scheme
the state cant afford. The New York Times
editorial board called it a path to greater
economic security. Given such wildly
divergent opinions, unaffordable scheme
or path to economic security, more study
is clearly in order. Because SB 1234 is a
study bill and nothing more, the governor
should sign it (Brown did so Friday).
The problem de Leon seeks to address is
real. Employer-provided guaranteed pen-
sions and even 401(k)-type retirement plans
are fast disappearing from the American
workplace. Unless they save for retirement
themselves and too many workers dont
many private-sector employees will be
forced to rely on inadequate Social Security
payments to support them in their old age.
While the problem of inadequate retire-
ment savings is particularly acute for low-
wage workers, more than half of middle-
income workers are also underprepared for
retirement.
The plan envisioned in SB 1234 would
require private employers who dont offer
retirement plans to automatically enroll
their workers in the states retirement sav-
ings plan and to deduct 3 percent of pay
from those workers who choose to partici-
pate. The plan is voluntary. Workers can
opt out. But the proceeds from those who
do participate would be pooled in a state-
administered savings fund that would be
professionally and conservatively managed
and invested. Upon retirement, participating
workers would receive guaranteed pay-
ments based on the amount they had con-
tributed plus a rate of return determined
annually by the state board overseeing the
fund.
Business leaders who at first strongly
opposed the measure went neutral after it
was turned into a study bill. Nonetheless,
they and some government fiscal watch-
dogs remain skeptical.
Representatives for the financial industry
note that there are plenty of retirement
investment products on the market now.
They worry this bill has been drafted in a
way that intentionally steers management
of the fund to the California Public
Employees Retirement System, CalPERS.
And they dont want to compete with gov-
ernment.
Others are concerned that the very fact
that payments to participants are guaran-
teed creates a potential liability for the
state. They fear that taxpayers, should the
market slip, would be on the hook to pay
participants what they are owed.
The goal of de Leons bill is laudable, but
implementation will be difficult. Thats
partly why so many other states that con-
sidered similar proposals ultimately stepped
away. A study is appropriate, but California
cannot afford to commit to a high-risk
retirement plan without absolute assurance
the state wont be left with a serious liabili-
ty if the fund goes belly up.

Stocks posted solid gains for the third
quarter, although the ride got bumpy at the
end.
Stocks fell ve days of the last six,
including on Friday, the last trading day of
the quarter. But the big indexes are still up
4 percent or more for the three months.
Theyre ahead 10 percent or more for the
year.
Thats despite all the anxiety about the
euro, Iran and U.S. politics.
Actually, those worries are exactly why
stocks are up, said Uri Landesman, who
runs the Platinum Partners hedge fund. He
notes that investors around the world feel
that U.S. stocks look pretty good, com-
pared to some of the alternatives.
People are scared, and 2008 wasnt
that long ago, and Europe remains a prob-
lem, he said. Those factors are keeping
the market up in the face of some really
questionable economic data and question-
able behavior by the Fed.
Investors got some more of that iffy
economic data on Friday. The Commerce
Department said consumer spending rose
a half-percent last month, compared with
July. That was a big jump but it was
driven by higher gas prices, rather than by
spending on clothing, electronics and gen-
eral merchandise. Consumer spending
drives nearly 70 percent of economic
activity.
The news pushed stocks lower. The
Dow Jones industrial average fell 48.84
points to close at 13,437.13. The Standard
& Poors 500 index fell 6.48 points to
1,440.67. The Nasdaq composite index
fell 20.37 points to 3,116.23. The losses
had been steeper in the morning before
stocks recovered somewhat around mid-
day.
Stocks fell in all industry groups in the
S&P 500 except utilities.
Telecommunications and information
technology stocks had the biggest losses.
Many investors worry that the recent
gains by stocks arent justied, consider-
ing the risks of a confrontation with Iran,
weak corporate prots, and Europes trou-
bles.
People are wrestling with that discon-
nect, and trying to choose which chess
pieces to move in anticipation of whatev-
er they think will happen next, said
Lawrence Creatura, portfolio manager at
Federated Investors.
Its been a good quarter, he said, but
at least for the day we seem to be limping
across the nish line.

WASHINGTON Bank of America
says it has agreed to pay $2.43 billion to
settle a class-action lawsuit related to its
acquisition of Merrill Lynch at the
height of the nancial crisis.
In the lawsuit, shareholders alleged
that Bank of America and some of its
ofcers made false or misleading state-
ments about both companies nancial
health.
The lawsuit was led on behalf of
investors who bought or held Bank of
America stock when the company
announced its plans to buy Merrill
Lynch in a $20 billion deal as the bank-
ing industry and federal regulators strug-
gled to contain fallout from the nancial
crisis in the fall of 2008.
Bank of Americas deal to buy Merrill
Lynch was forged on the same
September 2008 weekend that Lehman
Brothers collapsed. The transaction
came into question later after Bank of
America disclosed that Merrill would
post $27.6 billion in losses that year.
That added significantly to Bank of
Americas nancial woes, and the com-
pany subsequently asked for a $20 bil-
lion bailout from the government to help
offset those losses, on top of the $25 bil-
lion it had already received. It has since
repaid all $45 billion.
In announcing the settlement pro-
posal on Friday, Bank of America
denied the shareholders allegations
and said that it agreed to the settlement
to get rid of the uncertainties, burden
and costs related to the lawsuit.
As we work to put these long-stand-
ing issues behind us, our primary focus
is on the future and serving our cus-
tomers and clients, Bank of America
CEO Brian Moynihan said in a state-
ment.
The investors who led the suit said
the amount of the settlement is the
largest ever resolving such a claim.
We are very pleased that the settle-
ment will recoup a substantial portion of
the losses incurred by (Bank of America)
shareholders, Brian Guthrie, executive
director of the Teacher Retirement
System of Texas, said in a statement.
The magnitude of the recovery rein-
forces the important role that pension
funds play when they serve as lead
plaintiffs in securities actions.
BofA to pay $2.43B in settlement
DETROIT Nissan is offering cheap
leases and big discounts on the Leaf
because of slow sales of the all-electric
car.
Nissan Motor Co. sold only 4,228
Leafs this year through August, almost a
third fewer than a year ago.
It also has a big inventory of the cars
nationwide. At the end of August it had
enough 2012 models in stock to supply
dealers for 114 days, according to Wards
AutoInfoBank. Automakers consider a
60-day supply to be optimal.
Earlier this month, Nissan started offer-
ing Leafs for $219 per month with $2,999
down for 32 months. Thats down from
$249 per month earlier in the year.
Also, the TrueCar.com auto pricing site
says Nissan raised discounts to $3,250
per Leaf in August from $850 in January.
The Leaf, which can go up to 100 miles
on battery power from a single charge,
starts at $36,050, including shipping.
Nissan joins General Motors Co.,
the maker of the Chevrolet Volt in
offering cheap leases and big dis-
counts on electric cars. The Volt is the
Leafs main competitor and Chevrolet
is discounting the $40,000 car by up to
$10,000, including a $249 per month
lease deal.
The slow sales are a clear sign that
Americans wont buy the expensive elec-
tric cars en masse unless the prices are
cut, making them competitive with con-
ventional vehicles. With the discounts,
Volt sales have quadrupled this year to
more than 13,000.
Both cars are eligible for a $7,500 fed-
eral tax credit for electric vehicles. The
credit is not included in the discounts.
Leaf sales were hurt in part because the
company sent vehicles to all 50 states this
year, cutting supplies to California, the
No. 1 Leaf market last year, said David
Reuter, a Nissan spokesman. The compa-
ny sold almost 10,000 Leafs last year and
had hoped to double that this year, he
said.

NEW YORK Apple CEO Tim
Cook apologized Friday for the compa-
nys error-ridden new mobile mapping
service and pledged to improve the
application installed on tens of millions
of smartphones. In an unusual mea
culpa, he invited frustrated consumers to
turn to the competition.
Cook said Apple fell short of its own
expectations.
Everything we do at Apple is aimed
at making our products the best in the
world. We know that you expect that
from us, and we will keep working non-
stop until Maps lives up to the same
incredibly high standard, he said in a
letter posted online.
Apple released an update to its iPhone
and iPad operating system last week that
replaced Google Maps with Apples own
map application. But users quickly com-
plained that the new software offered
fewer details, lacked public transit direc-
tions and misplaced landmarks, among
other problems.
People have been ocking to social
media to complain and make fun of the
apps glitches, which include judging
landscape features by their names. The
hulking Madison Square Garden arena
in New York, for instance, shows up as
green park space because of the word
garden.

Cytori Therapeutics shares up on govt contract
NEW YORK Shares of Cytori Therapeutics Inc. rose
Friday after the company said it will study a cell-based
treatment for thermal burns and radiation injury for the
U.S. government.
Cytori said it will get $4.7 million from its contract with
the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
Biomedical Advanced Research and Development
Authority. If the agency exercises additional contract
options, the San Diego company could get as much as
$106 million, and Cytori said it expects the government
will start ordering its therapy if development is successful.
Cytori shares rose 72 cents, or 18.7 percent, to $4.58 in
afternoon trading. They are approaching their 52-week
high of $4.85 on Monday.
The initial contract covers preclinical development of
the therapy, which is intended to create a treatment for
thermal burns after an event or attack in which large num-
bers of people are injured.

Aragon football coach Steve Sell was afraid
his Dons were going to have to score a lot of
points to keep visiting Capuchino in check
Friday night.
I thought we would have to match them
touchdown for touchdown, Sell said.
Thats the train of thought when teams match
up against Capuchino running back Justin
Ewing, who has torched the competition this
season.
Aragon did put up a lot of points, 42, and
Ewing got his, nishing with 157 yards on 32
carries. But Ewing and the Mustangs managed
to nd the end zone just once as the Dons came
away with a 42-7 victory.
Im shocked they were 1-3 coming in, Sell
said. I told [Capuchino coach Adam
Hyndman] they were the best 1-3 team in the
section.
But Aragon is starting to show signs of being
one of the best teams in the Central Coast
Section as well. The Dons (4-0 overall) rushed
for 262 yards and two touchdowns, while quar-
terback Nat Blood completed 8 of 13 passes for
104 yards and three touchdowns. They also got
a game-opening kickoff return for a touchdown
from JD Elzie for the third time in four games.
Most importantly, Aragon played a complete
game from start to nish.
The goal was to play a clean game tonight
to not have any unforced errors, Sell said.
For the second straight week, the Dons
jumped out to an insurmountable rst-quarter
lead. Elzie gave Aragon a 7-0 just seven sec-
onds into the game when he took the opening
kickoff 84 yards for a score. Capuchino (1-4)
was forced to punt on its rst series and the
Dons quickly took a 14-0 advantage, going 43
yards on six plays. Elzie had a 15-yard run on
rst down and two plays later, Jordan Crisologo
had a 26-yard burst. Three plays later, Blood
hooked up with Aldo Severson for an 11-yard
scoring strike.
Crisologo had a huge game for the Dons,
rushing for 142 yards and score on just eight
carries. Severson also was big, catching ve
passes for 86 yards and two scores.
Aragon scores early and often, beats Cap

Coming into Fridays match-up with Half
Moon Bay High School, the Sequoia
Cherokees could tell you exactly what hap-
pened on Oct. 28, 2011.
It was then that the Cherokees traveled to
Half Moon Bay and were handed a 36-15 loss.
And something about that day lingered all the
way to Friday night when the Cougars visited
Sequoia in the last non-league game for both
teams.
We really wanted this game, said Sequoia
quarterback Mike Taylor. We lost to them big
last year. Its all about set back, come back.
Thats our program this year.
The Cherokees got their revenge, racking up
469 yards of offense en route to a convincing
28-6 win over the Cougars. Half Moon Bay is
the reigning Peninsula Athletic League Ocean
Division champions, but with their ascent to
the Bay Division this season, it appears

A week after handing Harker High School a
32-point shelling, Mills High School found out
exactly what taking a beating like that on the
football eld feels like.
The Vikings came into Fridays contest a
condent bunch, so much so that they execut-
ed a pooch kick to begin the game against
Menlo School and recovered the ball deep in
Knights territory. Unfortunately, Mills found
out rather quickly that there is a universe of
football that separates Harker and Menlo
four plays after that recovery the Knights
scored on an 89-yard interception return for a
touchdown.
Travis Chambers pick-6 was the catalyst in
Menlos 40-0 win over Mills.
When youre at this point in the season,
said Knights coach Mark Newton, you want
to focus on fundamentals and week to week
preparation for each game. But Im really
pleased with how the guys are doing and how
focused they are.
At times, Menlo looked darn-near awless
Friday afternoon in less than a quarter of
football, the Knights had Mills against the
ropes after back-to-back touchdown drives that
looked effortless.
After Chambers touchdown, Menlo allowed
a nice run by Antonio Jeffrey before getting the
ball back on a punt. Three plays later, Jack
Heneghan found Peter Bouret all alone in the
end zone. It was a great play by Heneghan,
who was all but sacked before weaseling out of
an ankle tackle and heaving the ball to Bouret.

from those Peyton Manning has read about for
all these years well, hes probably not alone.
When the Denver quar-
terback lines up against
Oakland on Sunday for his
rst up-close taste of one of
the NFLs most intense
rivalries, it will be the guys
in orange playing the role
of the bad guys, with the
Raiders coming in wearing
silver and black, as always,
but looking downright
docile compared to years
past.
Theyre doing a better job of being disci-
plined and thats kind of at the core of what we
are and what we believe, said Raiders rst-
year coach Dennis Allen, who was Denvers
defensive coordinator last season.
The Raiders? Disciplined? Somewhere, Al
Davis is certainly not smiling.
But, hey, at least one of these teams can say
that.
In this, the 104th meeting between the AFC
West foes, its the Broncos who come in having
amassed $134,000 in nes so far this season.

BERKELEY The calendar has
yet to turn to October and theres
already a high sense of urgency for
Arizona State and California.
With the Golden Bears (1-3, 0-1
Pac-12) having already lost at home
to Nevada and off to their worst start
since 2003, coach Jeff Tedfords
squad can ill afford another slipup at
Memorial Stadium if Cal wants to
avoid a second season without a
bowl in the past three years.
The Sun Devils (3-1, 1-0) are in
much better shape than the Bears
under rst-year coach Todd Graham
after winning their conference open-
er last week against Utah. Arizona
State is looking for its second win in
the past 10 meetings against Cal to
validate the strong start.
I looked at the schedule at the
beginning of the year, just being hon-
est with you, and I looked at Utah
and Cal and said Thatll determine
our season, Graham said. So thats
how important this game is.
Its even more important to the
Bears, who are coming off road loss-
es to nationally ranked Ohio State
and Southern California. A loss on
Saturday would give Cal its worst
start since losing the rst 10 games in
2001, before Tedford arrived, and
would put a severe dent in the
Golden Bears bowl hopes.
With home games remaining
against top 10 teams Stanford and
Oregon, as well as a season-ending
trip to No. 18 Oregon State, Cal has
little margin for error to get to six
wins and bowl eligibility.
I already know the season is
going to be hard so you just have to
focus on each day, defensive back
Steve Williams said. Dont get too
high or too low. Just go out and exe-
cute. Thats what its about.
While the offense has been wildly
inconsistent with a brilliant perform-
ance by quarterback Zach Maynard
and big-play running back Brendan
Bigelow in Ohio State followed by a
no-touchdown game at USC, the
defense has consistently struggled
against mobile quarterbacks like
Arizona States Taylor Kelly.
Nevadas Cody Fajardo ran for 97
yards and a touchdown and complet-
ed 78 percent of his passes in the
Wolf Packs season-opening 31-24
win at Cal.
The Bears also struggled to con-
tain Ohio States Braxton Miller two
weeks ago when he ran for 75 yards
and threw four touchdown passes in
a 35-28 win.
Kelly leads the Pac-12 and is ninth
nationally with a passing efciency
of 182.2 and has used his mobility to
scramble for big runs and for big
plays in the passing game.
Hes elusive, hes accurate,
Tedford said. He can hurt you with
his legs as well as throwing the ball.
They have a lot of high percentage
throws, a lot of things underneath.
You have to be accurate to do that.
He gets the ball out quickly.
Sometimes when guys get the ball
out that quick its hard to put pres-
sure on them. Hes done a good job.
Cal has not done so defensively so
far this season
after leading the
Pac-12 in total
defense a year
ago.
Weve gotten
better in some
places, but we
just have not
been able to sus-
tain it through
the whole game, Williams said. We
have good drives and good quarters
but sometimes we fall apart.
Arizona State leads the Pac-12 in
defense so far this season but
Saturday gures to be the toughest
test yet for the Sun Devils.
They have faced backup quarter-
backs the past three weeks and will
have to contend with a Cal team that
has had success on the ground and
through the air.
Maynard has completed 63.4 per-
cent of his passes, going mostly to a
trio of talented receivers that features
his brother, Keenan Allen, and fresh-
men Chris Harper and Bryce Treggs.
Bigelow has brought an added
dimension to the running game with
breakaway speed that was evident on
his 81- and 59-yard TD runs at Ohio
State. Isi Sofele and C.J. Anderson
share the bulk of the load as all three
backs have led the Bears in rushing
at least once this season.
This is by far, in my opinion, the
most talented offense that weve
played. I think this is far and away
the biggest challenge for us defen-
sively this week, Graham said.
Cal looks to get back on winning track
NHL and players return
to the bargaining table
NEW YORK The NHL and the
players association agreed on
issues related to player safety and
drug testing Friday, but the core
economic divide that is preventing
an end to the leagues latest lockout
was not even on the agenda.
The sides returned to the bargain-
ing table after more than two weeks
apart, and some progress was made
in about two hours of discussions
during a morning session.
You would absolutely hope that
things progress and kind of catch
re, but right now were just going
to take it one step at a time and try
to come to an agreement on as many
issues as possible, said former
player Mathieu Schneider, now an
NHLPA special assistant to the
executive director. Were taking
baby steps right now.
NHL Commissioner Gary
Bettman took part in Friday morn-
ings talks, but union head Donald
Fehr wasnt present.
He joined the discussions during
the afternoon.
The sides also were expected to
meet on Saturday and Sunday.
It says that both sides are com-
mitted to getting back to the table
and working, Schneider said.
Schneider added that there were
agreements on more rigorous drug
testing, expanding it to parts of the
year during which testing is not cur-
rently done.
Neither side sees the use of per-
formance-enhancing drugs as a
problem in the NHL.
Were in agreement that its not
an issue in our sport, Schneider
said. I think its in the players best
interest as well as the sport to close
off any possible time during the year
where players could use.
Other topics on tap for Friday and
through the weekend are various
health and safety issues, time play-
ers spend at training facilities, and
other non-economic topics.
We like to say that nothing is
agreed to until everything is agreed
to, but weve certainly made some
headway, Schneider said. A lot of
it was done previous to this morn-
ing. Were taking notes of where we
stand. I would say that we have a lot
of mutual ground that we have
found agreement on.
It is not impossible that monetary
issues will come up for discussion
in this round of talks, they just arent
scheduled.
Neither side has indicated it is
prepared to make a new offer now
regarding how to split up the more
than $3 billion annual pot of hock-
ey-related revenue.
In general, when youre dealing
with collective bargaining, when
you start to have agreements on
smaller issues, it can lead to bigger
issues, Schneider said, but its still
too early to say.

OAKLAND Stephen Drew hit a two-run
homer, Coco Crisp had a leadoff shot and the
Oakland Athletics gained ground on the rst-
place Texas Rangers in the AL West with an 8-
2 win against the Seattle Mariners on Friday
night.
The As trail the two-time defending AL
champions by three games with ve to play.
The Rangers lost 7-4 at home to the Los
Angeles Angels. Texas nishes the season
with three games in Oakland starting Monday.
Josh Donaldson had a two-run single in a
four-run seventh and A.J. Griffin (7-1)
received ample support as the As stayed two
games ahead of the Angels in the race for the
second wild card. Tampa Bay fell three back
after losing to the Chicago White Sox.
Oakland (89-68) has a magic number of
four to clinch the clubs rst playoff berth
since being swept by the Tigers in the 2006
AL championship series.
The As won six months to the day after
these clubs kicked off the 2012 schedule in
Tokyo and Oaklands opening-day starter,
Brandon McCarthy, was back with the team
just more than three weeks after undergoing
brain surgery following a line drive off the bat
of the Angels Erick Aybar that struck him on
the right side of the head.
McCarthy plans to stick around through the
seasons last homestand, and its primed to be
quite a nal ve games.
Oakland manager Bob Melvin waited to
post a lineup until after watching Crisp go
through pregame activities considering the
leadoff man had missed nine straight starts
and 10 of 11 because of an eye infection.
Apparently, he saw the ball just ne when
he sent a 3-2 pitch from starter Blake Beavan
(10-11) over the right-eld wall for his 11th
home run. It was Crisps fourth leadoff shot
this year and the eighth of his career.
Crisp made a perfect slide to score an insur-
ance run in the fth on a passed ball. Yoenis
Cespedes drew a bases-loaded walk in the
seventh and made a pretty diving catch on a
liner to left-center in the eighth to rob Jesus
Montero of a hit.
Trayvon Robinson followed Crisps homer
with a tying drive in the second, then Drew
responded with his fth homer since joining
the As from Arizona on Aug. 20 and seventh
overall.
Michael Saunders also homered for Seattle,
which snapped a three-game losing streak
Thursday in Anaheim but didnt do enough in
this one for Beavan.
Grifn, one of ve rookies in the rotation,
allowed one run and four hits in 5 2-3 innings.
He struck out four and walked two. Grifn
was winless in his previous two starts after
winning his rst six decisions.
Seattle center elder Franklin Gutierrez was
held out of the lineup a day after crashing into
the wall to make a catch against the Angels.
He banged his wrist, shoulder and head on the
play, but said he was ne Friday.
As use long ball to beat Mariners
SAN DIEGO Ryan Vogelsong pitched
six strong innings and Buster Posey increased
his lead in the NL batting race, but not before
giving the playoff-bound
San Francisco Giants a big
scare in a 3-1 win over the
San Diego Padres on
Friday night.
Posey took a wild pitch
off his neck in the second
inning with Everth
Cabrera batting.
Vogelsongs pitch
bounced in the dirt, rico-
cheted up and hit right underneath Poseys
hockey-style catchers mask.
The slugger was on his knees for a few min-
utes and was attended to by a trainer before
staying in the game.
Posey went 2 for 4 with a triple and a dou-
ble to increase his average to .334, four points
better than Andrew McCutchen of Pittsburgh.
McCutchen went hitless in two at-bats with a
walk, dropping his average two points to .330,
during the no-hitter thrown by Cincinnatis
Homer Bailey on Friday night.
Suspended outelder Melky Cabrera of the
Giants has a .346 mark but wont qualify for
the batting crown at his own request after a
positive drug test.
Pablo Sandoval had a two-run double for
San Francisco, which has won 13 of 16. The
Giants, 44-32 away from AT&T Park, have
won 23 of their last 32 road games.
Vogelsong (14-9) allowed one unearned run
and set a career high for wins. He struck out
ve and walked one as he beat San Diego for
the second time in a week.
Javier Lopez got the rst out of the ninth
inning before Santiago Casilla came in and
allowed consecutive singles. Casilla got the
nal two outs for his 25th save in 31 chances.
The Giants (92-65), who have already
wrapped up the NL West title, moved within
three games of Washington and Cincinnati for
the leagues best record with ve games
remaining.
San Franciscos Marco Scutaro extended
his career-best hitting streak to 16 games with
an ineld single in the third before he left the
game one inning later with head and chest
congestion.
Posey led off the second with his rst triple
of the season and scored on Hunter Pences
ineld single.
Vogelsong had a single to lead off the third
followed by Scutaros one-out ineld single.
Sandoval then doubled into the left-center gap
for two runs and a 3-0 lead.
Vogelsong ran into trouble in the sixth when
he allowed a leadoff single to Will Venable.
Chase Headley hit a grounder to rst baseman
Brandon Belt, who attempted to get Venable
at second but threw the ball into left eld for
an error.
Giants stay hot, top Padres
Reds Bailey pitches no-hitter
PITTSBURGH Homer Bailey had a cer-
tain milestone on his mind when he walked to
the mound Friday night. He wound up pulling
off an even bigger feat.
Bailey pitched the seventh no-hitter in the
majors this season, leading the Cincinnati
Reds to a 1-0 victory over the Pittsburgh
Pirates.
The right-hander began the night with 195
innings pitched this season and was eager to
reach 200 for the rst time in his six-year
career.
I looked up at the scoreboard (after the fth
inning) to see if I had hit 200 and saw a cou-
ple of zeros, Bailey said. Thats when I
knew I had a chance at a no-hitter. Its not
something you think about doing.
It was the 15th no-hitter in Reds history and
first since Tom Brownings perfect game
against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sept. 16,
1988.
The seven major league no-hitters match the
modern record for one season, tying 1990 and
1991. There were eight no-hitters in 1884.
I dont think there is any reason why there
have been so many, Bailey said. There is a
real ne line there in throwing a no-hitter. A
bloop can fall in the outeld or an inelder can
be in the wrong position and there goes your
hit. You have to be extremely fortunate to
throw a no-hitter and we had luck on our side
tonight.
Bailey (13-10) struck out 10 and walked
one. He threw 115 pitches and retired the side
in order in the ninth, striking out pinch-hitter
Brock Holt before getting pinch-hitter
Michael McKenry and Alex Presley to pop
out.
When second baseman Brandon Phillips
caught Presleys popup on the outeld grass,
Bailey was mobbed near the mound by happy
teammates and doused with water.
The 26-year-old Bailey improved to 5-0
with a 1.40 ERA in six career starts at PNC
Park. All three of his complete games and both
his shutouts have come against Pittsburgh.
It was the rst time the Pirates had been
held hitless since Hall of Famer Bob Gibson
pitched the lone no-hitter of his career in 1971
for the St. Louis Cardinals.
Cincinnati, which clinched the NL Central
title last Saturday, improved to 95-62. The
Reds are tied with Washington for the best
record in the NL.

Its the Broncos who will be missing one
linebacker, D.J. Williams, for violating the
leagues drug policy and another, Joe Mays,
for a hard hit that took off a chunk of an oppos-
ing quarterbacks ear.
And its the Broncos who rank fourth in the

Oakland nearly brings up the rear with 14 yel-
low ags for 102 yards a positively un-
Raider-like statistic regardless of which of-

I think its a credit to the coaching staff and
also the players on the eld in terms of every-
body being held accountable for their own

One penalty is one penalty too much. If

most-played highlight in that one was the bru-
tal hit receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey took
from Steelers safety Ryan Mundy.
Heyward-Bey was knocked out on contact
and spent the night in the hospital.
You never want to see your teammate or
even the opposing team get carted off, and its
one of the unfortunate things that goes along
with the game, Seymour said. But I think as
players we understand that.
Mundy drew a $21,000 ne for the hit on
Heyward-Bey, who is likely to miss Sundays
game.
Denitely out for the Broncos (1-2) is Mays,
who was docked $50,000 and suspended a
game for the hit that dislodged Texans quarter-
back Matt Schaubs helmet and took off a
chunk of his ear, as well. Mays was contrite
about the hit and his coach, John Fox, and a
number of his teammates all agreed there was
no intent there.
Thats not Joe Mays, Fox said.
But Denver defensive captain Champ Bailey
said, A lot of its bogus to me, when asked
about the Mays hit and the NFLs more vigi-
lant penalty structure that leaves the Broncos
very thin at linebacker, with Williams also
gone and backup Nate Irving unlikely to play
after suffering a concussion last week.
mean it in a bad way, but we have to focus
more on football.
Especially coming off their surprising 24-
13 loss to the Vikings. For a team considered
by many to be the best in the NFL, last week
turned out to be a big dud. So, a little time
together on the road might be the perfect rem-
edy for the 49ers (2-1).
It gives us the chance to do what we need
to do, and hopefully be more focused and just
continue to build team camaraderie between
us, Willis said. My take on it is good. It's
going to benet us in a lot of ways, more than
one.
San Francisco hopes that translates into a
victory at MetLife Stadium, where the 49ers
will play for the rst time against the AFC
East-leading Jets (2-1).
After all, it worked last season when the
49ers won in Cincinnati, stayed in eastern
Ohio and then rallied from a 20-0 decit to
stun the Eagles 24-23 in Philadelphia.
What are the risks? What are the rewards?
coach Jim Harbaugh said, referring to the list
he made of pros and cons for not going back
to San Francisco. The rewards, to us, out-
weighed the risks.
Quarterback Alex Smith and the rest of the
49ers offense also had a little extra time to
gameplan against a Jets defense that will be
without All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis for
the rest of the season after he tore a ligament
in his left knee in New Yorks 23-20 overtime
win at Miami last Sunday.
Kyle Wilson, the Jets rst-round draft pick
in 2010, will move into Revis starting spot
opposite Antonio Cromartie with the rest
of the defense needing to help compensate for
the loss of the teams best player.
Well, Id love to have Darrelle and I wish
Darrelle was playing and all that, coach Rex
Ryan said. But we have to move on, and we
will. I like our plan going into the game and
sometimes well do multiple things, and thats
how were going to approach it.
New Yorks defense has struggled a bit this
season, especially after Ryan hailed it as
being the best hes had since taking over as
coach in 2009. It ranks 21st overall and 28th
against the run, which means it could be in for
a long day against Smith, who ranks third in
the league with a 69.6 completion percentage,
and running back Frank Gore, who has been
one of the NFLs best during the last several
years.

RAIDERS
By Normaan Merchant
IRVING, Texas NFL ofcials on the verge of
approving a new contract say theyre excited to get
back to work.
Ofcials started arriving Friday at a Dallas-area
hotel to discuss and vote on an agreement reached
with the league late Wednesday. Some planned to
y directly to their assigned cities for Sundays
game.
The deal must be ratied by 51 percent of the
unions 121 members.
Some said they thought Monday nights
Packers-Seahawks game, which ended in chaos
after a call in the end zone gave the Seahawks the
winning touchdown instead of a Packers intercep-
tion, provided the nal push toward a settlement.
Many fans commentators and players in the
league thought the call was botched.
Monday nights call brought the three-week
furor over replacement ofcials to a fevered pitch.
Its all history now, head linesman Tom
Stabile said. For us, it was a benet. It may have
been the straw that broke the camels back.
Line judge Jeff Bergman said he could see the
play coming as he watched at home. He noticed
that players were starting to take advantage of
replacement ofcials struggling to keep control of
the game.
The last play of the game was something that
was going to happen sooner or later, Bergman
said. It gave us and the league an opportunity to
get together and hammer out a deal that was going
to get hammered out anyway.
Referee Ed Hochuli, who led weekly tests and
conference calls for ofcials to stay sharp during
the lockout, declined to say whether the replace-
ments made the right call.
You really dont want to see that, Hochuli
said. You dont want to see the controversy. You
dont want to see teams lose games that they
shouldnt have lost, if indeed thats what hap-
pened. Were not making a judgment on that.
After three weeks of games marred by mistakes,
the regular refs said they were heartened by the
support theyve received from fans, players and
coaches even if they dont expect it to last very
long now that theyre back.
Youre not really beloved by the public. Youre
tolerated. And to see that type of reception that our
guys got last night was really heartwarming, said
Bergman, who will head to Green Bay for
Sundays game, one week after Packers players
ripped the replacements for calling Mondays dis-
puted play a touchdown.
NFL refs gather for contract ratification vote

U.S. takes 5-3 Ryder Cup lead
By Doug Ferguson
MEDINAH, Ill. Keegan Bradley made Friday at the
Ryder Cup feel like the best day of his life, and it wasnt too
shabby for the rest of the Americans.
Bradley led a strong performance by rookies on both teams
at Medinah by teaming with Phil Mickelson for two wins
against Europes best two partnerships. Even with Tiger Woods
getting shutout on opening day for the fourth time, the United
States took a big step toward regaining the cup by taking a 5-3
lead.
Leading the way was Bradley, the former PGA champion
whom Mickelson took under his wing last year for a series of
money games at the majors to prepare the New England kid for
moments like this. And did he ever deliver.
This is literally what Ive dreamt about since I was a little
kid, Bradley said. I got to do it next to my idol all day.
Bradley holed a 25-foot birdie putt in morning foursomes to
hand Luke Donald and Sergio Garcia their rst loss ever in
Ryder Cup foursomes. Next up were Rory McIlroy and
Graeme McDowell, and the Americans won the rst three
holes. Mickelson wasnt there only for support. Right when
Europe was trying to rally, the four-time major champion
closed it out with a 7-iron to 2 feet that was conceded for
birdie.
It was a day Bradley didnt want to end.
Oh, baby, I wish we could go 36 more, Bradley said.
He wasnt the only rookie to shine on a mild day in the
Chicago suburbs. Nicolas Colsaerts, the 29-year-old from
Belgium, helped Europe avoid getting shutout in afternoon
fourballs by single-handedly taking down Woods and Steve
Stricker.
Colsaerts made eight birdies and an eagle a 10-under 62
if he was keeping score on his own. He teamed with Lee
Westwood, who was just along for this amazing ride for a 1-up
victory that ended 11 hours of enormous cheers and plenty of
American red on the leaderboard.
Woods and Stricker also lost to Ian Poulter and Justin Rose
in morning foursomes, making this the fourth time in the seven
Ryder Cups that Woods has played that he lost both matches on
the opening day.
There was nothing he could do against Colsaerts, the biggest
hitter in Europe who isnt too bad with the putter, either.
Nicolas probably had one of the greatest putting rounds Ive
ever seen, Woods said, high praise coming from a 14-time
major champion.
Woods turned in a mixed performance. He missed a 6-foot
birdie putt on the 15th to fall 2 down, and then came back with
a bending, 25-foot birdie putt on the 16th and a shot into 4 feet
on the 17th that looked as if it might square the match. Instead,
Colsaerts rolled in a 25-foot birdie putt for a halve. Woods had
a 12-foot birdie putt on the 18th to halve the match, only it
caught the left lip.
Both captains made sure all 12 of their players got into the
game early, though European captain Jose Maria Olazabal set
himself up for second-guessing when he sat out Donald, Garcia
and Poulter for the afternoon matches. They have a combined
31-13-5 record in the Ryder Cup.
Mickelson set an American record by playing in his ninth
Ryder Cup, and he won his opening two matches for the rst
time in his career. Mickelson came up with some big putts and
amazing shots, and the 42-year-old felt about 10 years younger
playing alongside Bradley.
It could be the best day of my life, Bradley said.
Europe has won six of the last eight times in the Ryder Cup,
and it wasnt about to hang its head after one day. It was lead-
ing all four of the opening matches early Friday under a
gloomy sky. The sun came out, and the Americans came to life.
Theres a long way to go in this tournament, Rose said.
Theres ebbs and ows. Obviously, theres momentum for the
U.S. team right now, but that could all swing back in our favor

L.A. backs deal for downtown NFL stadium
LOS ANGELES Los Angeles took a major step Friday
toward building a downtown stadium to lure an NFL team back
to the nations second most populous city, despite questions about
how a 72,000-seat venue in the citys urban core would impact
notorious freeway trafc, nearby housing prices and air quality.
The 12-0 vote by City Council came after starkly contrasting
predictions about what the $1.5 billion project would mean for an
economically troubled city that has fretted over the loss of pro-
fessional football since the Raiders and Rams ed Southern
California in 1994.
Supporters said the deal with developer Anschutz
Entertainment Group would create thousands of jobs, a hub of
civic pride and new tax dollars for cash-starved City Hall, while
critics warned that affordable housing would vanish in the neigh-
borhood while trafc would come to a virtual standstill on game
days.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said in a statement after the vote
that it demonstrates what we can accomplish when the city fam-
ily joins together with private partners in a transformational devel-
opment.
This is truly a game changer for Los Angeles, Villaraigosa
said.
The vote was overshadowed by the recent announcement that
AEG was seeking a new owner, though company ofcials have
assured City Hall the stadium plan will remain the same, even if
the company changes hands.

On its ensuing drive, Cap, again, was forced
to punt and the Dons, again, promptly drove
for a score. This time, Aragon covered 68
yards on just ve plays. Crisologo had the big
play on the drive, picking up 30 yards down to
the Capuchino 25. On the next play, Elzie
found the end zone. Taking a hand off and
sweeping right, Elzie turned up eld and got a
great block from Kyle Kay, which opened up
a cutback lane and allowed Elzie to bolt into
the end zone untouched.
With 2:39 left in the rst quarter, Aragon led
20-0 and the game was all but over.
Despite having one of the best running
backs in CCS in Ewing, who is a threat to
score any time he touches the ball, Hyndman
knew in order for Capuchino to win, the
Mustangs had to keep the ball away from the
Aragon offense. That meant the Mustangs
needed to have time-consuming drives, some-
thing they could not do.
The clock needed to be our best friend
tonight and we kind of lost it, Hyndman said.
Our goal was to not have our defense on the
eld the whole time.
Technically, Caps defense was not on the
eld a large amount of time, but thats because
Aragon scored rather quickly. The Mustangs
fourth drive stalled at their own 43, bringing
the punting unit on for the fourth time. On its
ensuing drive, Aragon needed only one play to
nd pay dirt. Crisologo took a handoff up the
middle, burst through the Capuchino defen-
sive line and went 67 yards for a touchdown.
A two-point conversion from Severson gave
Aragon a 28-0 lead with 10:55 left before the
half.
Capuchino nally got its offense in gear on
its next drive, going 80 yards on seven plays.
Ewing found the end zone from 36 yards out
for the Mustangs only score of the game.
Aragon got the score right back, however.
Starting at their own 48-yard line, the Dons
needed just two plays to score. Following an
incompletion, Blood hit Severson on a quick
out, who then broke a tackle and sprinted 48
yards for the score. The Dons rounded out
scoring on a Blood to Brandon Gordon 5-yard
scoring pass with 7:09 left in the third quarter.
Despite seeing his team get hammered on
the scoreboard, Hyndman was proud to see his
team battle and keep ghting to the end. Take
away the 20-point first quarter and the
Mustangs were only outscored 22-7.
We buckled down. Thats why I think this
team is special, Hyndman said. We could
have easily folded, but they fought. Even
when we are behind, we strive to play tough
football.
DONS
Sequoia would be more that happy, willing
and able to take the title this year.
If we do well, we want to move up (to the
Bay Division, said Sequoia head coach Rob
Poulos of the win. This is how we do it. You
have to play those games and beat them in
order to qualify. Otherwise, you have no busi-
ness asking to move up.
Friday, the Cherokees looked very much
like a Bay team, especially in the second half
where they put up 262 yards rushing on the
Half Moon Bay defense.
Our hurry-up offense really gets the
defense tired, Taylor said. Were really good
at running the ball, so when we do pass, the
defenders arent set. We just ran the heck out
of the ball. Our line really stepped it up.
They have a good offensive line, said Half
Moon Bay head coach Keith Holden. Their
kids get off the ball well. The quarterback is a
good athlete. So, I think it was just over time
good athletes over the course of a game start
guring things out. And my hats off to them,
they played hard.
The game was tight in the rst half, taking
the shape of a great boxing match with the
teams trading solid shots and standing tall
defensively.
Sequoia got the rst big break of the game
when Dylan Anderson completed a four-play,
45-yard drive with a 28-yard touchdown with
seven minutes left in the rst quarter. It was
the rst sign of a what turned out to be a huge
day for No. 10. The junior running back car-
ried the ball 17 times for 153 yards and two
touchdowns.
But the star of the rst half had to be
Sequoias defense. Twice, the Cherokees
thwarted long, sustained, momentum-building
drives by the Cougars. At the end of the rst
quarter, Half Moon Bay got nothing out of an
11-play drive that ended at the Sequoia 12-
yard line. Then, just before the half, Hunter
Mitchell and the defense stood tall at the goal
line to keep it 7-0 heading into recess.
Obviously we would rather come away
with those situations with points and not
zeroes, Holden said. So, one of our goals is
to execute in the red zone and we didnt get it
done. Obviously we wanted more than six
points on the board but Sequoia is a good
team and theyre just not going to hand them
to you. We have to earn them and we didnt
earn them.
They were huge stops, Poulos said of his
defense. They dont quit. Its great that
theyre not quitting because when the offense
gets into a rhythm, it gets frustrating and you
can start breaking rules and they didnt
they tightened, they tightened, they tightened.
They forced the other team to break.
The game stayed tight in the third quarter,
with both teams moving the ball but not nd-
ing the end zone.
But come the fourth, something in Taylor
and the rest of the Cherokees clicked.
The last quarter began when 33 second in,
Will Davenport made it 14-0 with a 7-yard
touchdown run.
Then, after Mitchell recovered a Half Moon
Bay fumble, Taylor made the Cougars pay the
ultimate price with a sensational 42-yard
touchdown run. Taylor rushed for 152 yards
on 16 carries. He also completed 14 of 18
passing for 98 yards.
He stepped up, Poulos said. Once he
started trusting the system and going, it was a
joy to watch because thats when he really
punished them. There are a couple of times
when he was trying to do too much and
then he calmed down and realized, Hey, wait
a second. He started making the read and then
things popped big. In our system, the quarter-
back goes big when he starts trusting it.
Anderson all but sealed the deal a little
more than a minute later on an 81-yard touch-
down ash that made it 28-0 with 6:25 left in
the game.
Half Moon Bay pulled a score back on a 29-
yard touchdown run courtesy of Daniel Welsh.
The Cougar offense was efcient on Friday,
amassing 311 yards. John Bali led the way
with 113 yards on the ground.

OAKLAND Brandon
McCarthys hair is growing back fast
and that big scar on the right side of his
head is hardly noticeable anymore.
The Oakland Athletics pitcher feels
nearly normal again just more than
three weeks after undergoing brain sur-
gery following a frightening injury in
which a line drive off the bat of the
Angels Erick Aybar struck him Sept.
5.
So good, in fact, doctors have
cleared him to play light catch
Saturday a big deal in his recovery
and for his immense boredom.
Not once has he lost his sense of
humor through the scary ordeal that the
club referred to as life-threatening
early on post-surgery.
I have really fast growing hair,
McCarthy said. Im already at the
point now that I dont know what to do
with it. Do I shave it again and keep
showing off the scar? Im going to
have to make a decision soon. Ive
never shaved my head before. Now
with the scar, I can walk around San
Francisco and look tough.
McCarthy stepped back on the eld
Friday night for the rst time since his
frightening injury to accept the As
nomination for the Roberto Clemente
Award, accompanied by wife,
Amanda. He was a bit emotional in the
dugout earlier given the outpouring of
support from fans, players and teams
around baseball surrounding the rst
trying, testing moment in his life, he
said.
He received a warm ovation from
the sparse Coliseum crowd.
I think its really kind of what I
need, said McCarthy, who has been
practicing his mechanics in his living
room. Get my mind off everything,
just kind of get back to doing stuff, just
the sort of mental stimulation of it.
McCarthy attended the series opener
with Seattle on Friday night, exactly
six months to the day after he was
Oaklands opening day starter against
the Mariners in Tokyo.

NATHAN MOLLAT/DAILY JOURNAL
Menlo Schools Wiley Osborne makes a spectacular circus catch during the Knights win over
Mills.The catch went for naught, however, as the play was negated by a Menlo penalty.
After another three-and-out by Mills,
Heneghan was at it again, picking apart the
Viking defense on a 61-yard drive aided by a
pass interference penalty. Will King put the
exclamation mark on the Knights rst quarter
with a 3-yard touchdown catch that made it 20-
0 with two minutes still left in the frame.
Its attention to detail, focus and sometimes
when you get up early, you have a tendency to
lose that focus, Newton said. And we still
have to get our quality reps in games and get us
ready for league. This group knows that.
Theyre a good group. Theyre focused and
they want to get better.
Matt Bradley came in on the next drive to
replace Heneghan and Menlo hit a bit of a lull
offensively. Part of it might have been Mills
though after surrendering 176 yards in the
rst quarter, the Vikings limited Menlo to only
41 in the second.
However, the Mills offense had little success
against the Knights defense. The Vikings
turned the ball over twice more in the second
quarter on interceptions.
I dont think there was progress except for
when we challenged them in the third quarter.
They accepted the challenge and went out and
drove the ball a little bit, said Mills coach
Mike Krieger. But in terms of defensive
progress or offensive progress as a team, we
denitely took a step backwards and a lot of
that credit has to go to Menlo.
The Vikings shining moment came in the
third quarter. Mills ate eight minutes off the
clock to begin the period, going 14 plays in the
process. They reached the Menlo 21-yard line
behind Jeffrey and Joey Himuro. But a huge
chop block penalty on third down pushed them
back to the Menlo 49-yard line and the drive
stalled.
They have really good coaches over there,
Newton said. They saw something they could
do against us. We were playing a lot of guys
both ways in the trenches today and they were
getting tired. But they had a really good push
and they have two good backs. So, its credit to
them as well.
I think our guys had some realities to face
at halftime, some guys talking, some chal-
lenges were made and they responded by hav-
ing a nice opening drive in the third quarter,
Krieger said. We just made a mistake and
gave the ball to Menlo which you cant do in
any football game much less to a powerful
team like Menlo.
The Knights showed just how powerful they
are when theyre focused. In complete contrast
to Mills, which pounded and grinded for every
yard, Menlo used four plays to score its next
touchdown a Bradley 10-yard fun run.
Menlo stuck to the ground behind Bradley
and Heru Peacock. With two minutes off the
clock in the fourth quarter, Peacock found the
end zone on an 11-yard run to make it 33-0.
That drive was set up by Mills fourth turnover,
a fumble on the Menlo 42-yard line.
Menlo hit the running clock mark with seven
minutes left in the game when Heneghan ran
into the end zone from ve yards out. Menlo
outgained Mills 334 to 128 for the game.
We have to rst to recommit ourselves to
the game of football and to each other,
Krieger said looking forward to the Peninsula
Athletic League Lake Division schedule in two
weeks. And we have to have a good week of
preparation in our bye week and we have to
have a good week of offensive and defensive
execution in practice. No game for Mills is
going to be easy. We have to execute on both
sides of the ball. We have to do what the coach-
es are teaching them to do. If the kids line up
and go 100 miles an hour every play and give
100 percent effort, we always tell them, Lets
see what the scoreboard says at the end.

BAGHDAD Prisoners seized
weapons and clashed with security
guards in an hourslong standoff that
killed 12 people, including 10 guards,
and allowed dozens of al-Qaida-linked
inmates to escape before ending Friday
in Saddam Husseins hometown, Iraqi
ofcials said.
The security breach drew sharp criti-
cism of Iraqi security forces, which have
been unable to stabilize the country
almost a year after U.S. troops withdrew.
Ofcials said that reinforcements had to
be sent from Baghdad to help put down
the riot and prisoners burned all the
prison records, complicating efforts to
track down those still on the run.
The riot erupted on Thursday night
when several inmates at the Tasrat
prison in Tikrit, 130 kilometers (80
miles) north of Baghdad, broke into a
storage room, grabbed weapons being
kept there and overpowered the guards,
according to a spokesman for
Salahuddin province where the city is
located.
The prisoners then exchanged gunre
with security troops inside the facility
before breaking out hours later. By
Friday morning, government troops had
regained control of the prison, the
spokesman Mohammed al-Assi said.
Everything is under control now. Our
security forces are chasing the escaped
prisoners and have already recaptured
some, al-Assi said in a telephone inter-
view.
Iraq has been struggling to keep terror
suspects behind bars since U.S. forces
turned over legal custody of their
detainees to the government. In July
2011, detainees linked to al-Qaida
escaped at least twice from a Baghdad
area prison known as Camp Cropper
shortly after the U.S. handed it over to
Iraqi authorities.
The jailbreaks have deeply embar-
rassed Iraqs government, which is eager
to demonstrate it can control its justice
system.
A provincial health official, Raed
Ibrahim, conrmed that 12 people died
in the violence 10 prison guards and
two inmates.
Iraqi prisoners escape; 12 killed
Family: Minneapolis
gunman suffered mental illness
MINNEAPOLIS The family of the man who killed four
people at a Minneapolis sign company says he struggled for
years with mental illness.
Police said Friday that Andrew J. Engeldinger of
Minneapolis opened re at Accent Signage Systems just hours
after being let go from the company Thursday morning.
His family says in a statement released through the National
Alliance on Mental Illness that they arent trying to excuse
Engeldingers actions, but perhaps partially explain them.
Alliance director Sue Abderholden says the family had
approached the group for help about two years ago. Thats
about when Engeldingers uncle says his nephew broke off con-
tact with his family.
Warning signs seen before actors violent end
LOS ANGELES An attorney for an actor who killed his
landlady before plunging to his death believes a drug-induced
psychosis was responsible for his former clients violent out-
burst. Authorities on Friday searched for a motive behind the
slaying by Johnny Lewis, who once worked on the TV drama
Sons of Anarchy.
Investigators found 81-year-old Catherine Davis and Lewis
dead Wednesday morning after neighbors reported a woman
screaming inside her home. Police said Lewis is the only sus-
pect in the slaying and they will await toxicology tests to deter-
mine if the actor was under the inuence of drugs or alcohol.

BEIRUT Rebels on Friday pressed their
broadest assault yet to drive President Bashar
Assads forces out of Syrias largest city,
activists said, with erce ghting erupting in
an Aleppo neighborhood that is home to
Kurds, an ethnic minority that has mostly
stayed out of the civil war.
In Washington, U.S. Defense Secretary
Leon Panetta said intelligence suggests Assad
has moved some of Syrias chemical weapons
to better secure them. Panetta said the main
sites are believed to be secure, though his
comments indicated that there are lingering
questions about what happened to some of the
weapons.
On the diplomatic front, top representatives
from Western nations and Middle East allies
met Friday at the U.N. to urge Syrias frac-
tured opposition to unite. U.S. Secretary of
State Hillary Rodham Clinton told the Friends
of Syria group that the U.S. would deliver an
additional $15 million in non-lethal aid and
$30 million in humanitarian support, on top of
more than $175 million already given to polit-
ical opposition.
Diplomacy has been largely sidelined in the
18-month-old Syria conict because a key
tool U.N. Security Council action has
been neutralized by vetoes from Assad allies
Russia and China.
The military battle for control of the country
has also been locked in a stalemate, most vis-
ibly in Aleppo, a northern city of 3 million.
Since a rebel offensive on Aleppo two months
ago, each side has controlled about half of the
city and has repeatedly tried but failed
to capture the rest. Aleppo would be a major
strategic prize, giving the victor new momen-
tum.
Late Thursday, rebels forces launched what
they said would be a decisive battle that by
Friday had spread to wide swaths of the city.
The city is witnessing one of the most violent
days. All fronts are on re, Aleppo-based
activist Baraa al-Halabi said.
Heavy clashes were reported Friday, with
regime troops ring tank and mortar shells,
and rebels using heavy machine guns, mortars
and rocket-propelled grenades, said Aleppo
activist Mohammed Saeed.
Amateur video broadcast by the Arab satel-
lite TV station Al Jazeera showed a group of
rebel ghters, identied as a single unit by
their white headbands, marching through a
rubble-strewn street. Others red assault ries
from behind barricades of cinder blocks and
sandbags.
Syrias state-run news agency SANA con-
rmed battles in a number of Aleppo districts,
reporting that dozens of rebels were killed.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights, an activist group, put the days
death toll in the city at 23.
For the rst time, rebel ghters entered one
of Aleppos Kurdish areas, amid conicting
reports about whether some of the local resi-
dents fought alongside regime troops or
stayed out of the battle.
Governor rejects
raising cellphone fines
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown on
Friday vetoed a bill that would have raised the
ne for illegally using a cellphone while driv-
ing in California from $20 to $30.
Brown rejected the penalty increase, saying
he believes the current ne is a powerful
deterrent. While the state base ne is $20, the
governor noted that the total can climb to $200
or $300 with court fees.
Upping the nes may satisfy the punitive
instincts of some, but I severely doubt that it
will further reduce violations, the governor
wrote in a message.
Palo Alto Democratic Sen. Joe Simitian
says his bill, SB1310, was intended to reduce
deaths and collisions by discouraging using
hand-held cellphones. Repeat violations also
would have added points to drivers records,
potentially increasing their insurance costs.
The additional $10 would have gone to edu-
cating motorists.
Brown vetoed a similar bill by Simitian last
year that would have raised the base ne to
$50.
Brown endorses
hands-off stance on internet calls
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown
announced Friday that he had signed a bill
curbing regulatory oversight of phone calls
made over the internet.
The Democratic governor said the legisla-
tion, which is backed by AT&T Inc. and
Verizon Communications Inc., will encourage
the growth of innovative services that have
become the hallmark of our state.
Members of the California Public Utilities
Commission said SB 1161 would prevent
them from regulating any telephone services,
because land-line phones now use technology
that sends voice signals over the Internet.
Consumer advocates also opposed the bill,
and said it would enable companies to skirt
regulations that help low-income and disabled
customers.
Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla, D- Los
Angeles, said he wrote the legislation to pro-
tect the vitality of the states wireless industry.
Brown signs bill for
Reagan statue in Capitol
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown
announced Friday that he has signed a bill
authorizing construction of a Ronald Reagan
statue inside the California Capitol in
Sacramento.
Brown cited Reagans leadership in signing
the bill authorizing the statue. He said the
Republican icon oversaw needed tax hikes just
like Brown wants to do with the help of voters
in November.
Even in those days he demonstrated
courage and unique leadership ability even
to the point of raising California taxes when
he saw they were needed, Brown wrote in his
signing message.
In 1966, Reagan defeated Browns father,
Pat Brown, in his bid for a third term before
the state imposed term limits.
The bill authored by Assemblyman Curt
Hagman, a Republican from Chino Hills,
authorizes planning for a statue honoring the
former governor and president. It will be built
with private funds.
The bill found no opposition in the
Legislature.
California also honors Reagan in the U.S.
Capitols National Statuary Hall. In 2006, the
state Legislature voted to remove a statue of
Civil War abolitionist Thomas Starr King and
replace it with a bronze statue of Reagan.

uring an admissions interview at a
small liberal arts college that prides
itself on all
things intellectual, I was
asked if the soul had a
gender. Biting my lip to
keep from laughing too
loudly, I feigned a pen-
sive expression and took
a minute to gather my
thoughts. Questions like
these are enough to make
anyone freeze up in nor-
mal conversation but, since my chances of
admission depended upon a clever answer, I
felt especially worried.
To laugh out loud would be disrespectful if
this was indeed a serious question. But was it
serious? There was no way to know.
Thankfully, I produced an elaborate, thought-
ful answer out of thin air, and presented it
gracefully to my interviewer. Immediately
after I had nished answering, I realized I
had no idea what exactly it was I had just
said. It was unclear if I gave the right answer,
or even if there was a right answer. The only
hint was my interviewers patient, thoughtful
nodding, understanding eyes and vague hint
of a smile.
After I returned from my college tour, I
shared my experiences with my mother.
When I told her about the peculiar question I
was asked, she did what I couldnt during the
interview she gave a strange look and
laughed out loud.

Best bets
By Michael Rechtshaffen
LOS ANGELES Despite the proven talents of rst-time feature
director Genndy Tartakovsky (Dexters Laboratory), writers Peter
Baynham (Arthur Christmas) and SNL vet Robert Smigel, and a voice
cast headed by Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg, the collaboration falls
at virtually from the get-go, serving up half-hearted sight gags that
have a habit of landing with an ominous thud.
Being given a public airing at the Toronto International Film
Festival ahead of its Friday opening, the lm could initially bene-
t from a monster marketing push from Sony, but its unlikely
the No Vacancy sign will be lit for
long. Assuming an unsteady
Transylvanian
accent which,
like his bat wings, tends
to flit in and out of the picture,
Sandlers overprotective daddy
Dracula is having trouble shielding
his daughter Mavis (Selena Gomez)
from outside elements on the eve of her
118th birthday.
Determined to shut himself off from those ele-
ments after the death of his wife a century or so earlier at
the hands of an angry mob, Dracula had constructed a
refuge of an exclusive resort where he and his monstrous
ilk could feel free to be themselves.
But when a party crasher turns up in the form of
Jonathan (Samberg), a slacker human backpacker who
catches Mavis eye, the Count nds it increasingly dif-
cult to keep her under his wing.
While director Tartakovskys retro pop sensibilities
served Cartoon Network well with the likes of Dexters
Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls and Samurai
Jack, and Hotel Transylvania has an undeniable
visually zippy style, the ghost of a script by Baynham and Smigel
provides him with very little of substance.
For the most part, theres just a lot of dashing about the hotels
cavernous hallways as the assembled voice cast (also including
Kevin James, Fran Drescher, Steve Buscemi, Molly Shannon,
David Spade and CeeLo Green) attempts to lend some personality
to the underdeveloped characters.
Ironically, the scattered enterprise exhibits signs of life when the char-
acters leave the connes of the hotel, but that hint of something more
arrives too late in the game.
And while those 3-D glasses really bring nothing to the party, Mark
Mothersbaughs lively score adds a ghoulish cool to the otherwise
uninspired proceedings.
Hotel Transylvania, a Columbia Pictures release, is rated
PG for some rude humor, action and scary images. Running time: 91
minutes.

Cheeky and snarky but with an infectious
energy, Pitch Perfect, a comedy set in the
cutthroat world of competing college a cap-
pella groups, makes us fall in love with the
very thing its making fun of. Its ridiculous
and predictable but also just a ton of fun, so
you may as well give up and give in to your
inner musical theater geek.
The debut feature from director Jason
Moore (Broadways Avenue Q) and writer
Kay Cannon (30 Rock), based on the non-
ction book by Mickey Rapkin, feels like a
mash-up of Glee and Revenge of the
Nerds, with a broad soundtrack ranging from
David Guetta and Bruno Mars to The Bangles
and Simple Minds. Some performances will
make you smile; others will give you chills.
And speaking of mash-ups, thats exactly
the genre that forces the lms female singing
group out of its comfort zone of conservative
choreography and corny vocal arrangements.
Their reluctant catalyst is Beca, an antisocial,
aspiring DJ played by Anna Kendrick; this is
an amusing irony in contrast with Kendricks
usually sunny, Type-A screen persona, and
given her off-screen Broadway musical bona
des. She hasnt really, truly sung in a lm
since 2003s Camp, and its a joy to see her
reveal this side of her talent again. Under the
dark eyeliner and surly attitude, her smarts
and likability shine through.
Freshman Beca is part of a rag-tag class of
recruits who join the Barden University
Bellas, perky young ladies who dress like
ight attendants, adhere to a rigid set of rules
and have super-secret, sorority-style rituals.

forced to sing the Kelly Clarkson
anthem Since U Been Gone, is edited
so beautifully, it feels like a fresh take on
the tried-and-true, bad-rst-date mon-
tage.) The Bellas leader is the meticu-
lous, tyrannical Aubrey (Anna Camp); a
redheaded Brittany Snow is her irty
and more forward-thinking right-hand
woman.
Its their goal to knock off the schools
rival guy group, the Treblemakers, and
win the national championship. John
Michael Higgins and Elizabeth Banks
(whos also a producer on the lm) are
hilarious as the broadcast team provid-
ing inane, slightly naughty commentary
at every stop along the way. Their bits
feel natural, unpredictable and ad-
libbed, like something out of a
Christopher Guest mockumentary.
But the whole supporting cast is
strong and well-chosen, with nearly
every actor getting a chance to provide
off-kilter comedy. An outrageous Rebel
Wilson, who was so great last year as
Kristen Wiigs roommate in
Bridesmaids and whose character
here nicknamed herself Fat Amy
gets many of the lms crudest and best
lines, while the wonderfully odd Hana
Mae Lee steals her share of scenes in her
own quiet way.
Skylar Astin has a condent, easygo-
ing manner as the Treblemaker member
who dares to engage Beca romantically
(despite a temporary and contrived hitch,
you know where their relationship is
going), while comedian Adam DeVine is
perfect as the arrogant idiot named
Bumper who runs the guy group. If this
were a Greek fraternity, hed be the dude
doing keg stands. (And while were on
the subject of adolescent antics, a recur-
ring projectile-vomit joke was unneces-
sary even the rst time. Pitch Perfect
seems too sharp for that.)
Still, the movie as a whole is so irre-
sistible, you may nd yourself singing
some of its insanely catchy tunes like
Ace of Bases The Sign, which is so
evil and is used so often, it becomes a
major plot point long afterward.
Pitch Perfect, a Universal Pictures
release, is rated PG-13 for sexual mate-
rial, language and drug references.
Running time: 112 minutes. Three and a
half stars out of four.
PITCH
say something about the gender they identify with, the gender
they perceive as dominant or the gender they nd is more sensi-
tive. Or, I could just be projecting. The question might be that
schools way of weeding out those students who shrink at
uncomfortable questions, take their own opinions and merit too
lightly, and dont think in a deeply philosophical manner at all
times. It could go either way.
More likely than not, however, this question was meant to be
a changeup. The applicant goes into the interview thinking they
are prepared for anything. I had numerous conversations with
myself to make sure my head and heart were in agreement over
my favorite author, greatest accomplishment, deepest regret and
all sorts of future goals and ambitions. The academic me and
the impulsive me came to an intellectual agreement that we
both thought made me look as desirable as possible. I even
knew which famous dead person I wanted to have dinner with
and which historical period in which I should have lived.
However, I forgot to discuss with my soul its gender. And
that, in the end, was my kryptonite. With a question like that, I
still would have reached a point where no amount of careful
preparations would be of any help. Philosophical matters are
always the hardest to make up ones mind on, and I really dont
think that any amount of thinking would lead me to any sort of
conclusion on the matter.
That being said, after two months of this question restlessly
inhabiting my head, I think Ive nally gured out a way to
counter the bizarreness of it. If I ever go back to that school, I
think I know what I will ask.
How do we know we even have a soul?

WEEKEND JOURNAL 25
advertisment
By Christy Lemire
LOS ANGELES Hes only 31 years
old, and already Joseph Gordon-Levitt has
proven he can pretty much do everything.
From action blockbusters and crowd-pleas-
ing romantic comedies to quirky indies and
small, searing dramas, he always makes
interesting, eclectic choices and brings an
authenticity and watchability to every role.
With the time-travel drama Looper
opening this weekend, heres a look at
Gordon-Levitts five best performances.
Theyre in alphabetical order because hes
so good in all of these movies, I couldnt
decide on an order of preference.
50/50 (2011):
Gordon-Levitt was in such a tough spot
here. Its a comedy ... about cancer. But as
the young man who receives the diagnosis
that he only has a 50-percent chance of sur-
viving a rare, spinal form of the disease,
Gordon-Levitt never creates a mawkish por-
trait of martyrdom. His character, Adam,
goes through all the requisite stages of
denial, frustration, fear and eventually
acceptance, but he does so with such believ-
able imperfection, he never feels like a
saint. Hes not always gracious in the face
of adversity; he can be a little surly and
smug and emotionally closed-off. Gordon-
Levitt has the range and subtlety to make all
of that work.
(500) Days of Summer (2009):
At the other end of the spectrum from
50/50 is a performance thats bursting
with joy at the center of Marc Webbs
sweet, clever film. As an aspiring Los
Angeles architect, Gordon-Levitt recalls the
blissful, all-consuming romance he shared
with the seemingly perfect girl, Summer
(Zooey Deschanel). Through every moment
of jubilation and anxiety, Gordon-Levitt
makes us feel for him; hes still so appeal-
ing even when hes miserable, you almost
dont want to see him succeed. I was
already a fan of his, but the spontaneous
production number he leads with a bunch of
strangers to Hall & Oates peppy You
Make My Dreams is so infectious, it made
me adore him.
Brick (2006):
I like the movie itself a verbally styl-
ish film noir set in a contemporary Southern
California high school better in retro-
spect than I did in the moment. Back when
I saw it, I admired the ambition of writer-
director Rian Johnsons debut but thought
the specificity of the language was too self-
conscious and kept the audience at arms
length. But I always liked Gordon-Levitts
performance here as a teenage sleuth
think Humphrey Bogart in a gray hoodie
digging for the dangerous truth about the
murder of the pretty, blonde classmate he
loved. He handles the patter of the dialogue
and repeated punches to the face with equal
aplomb. Its easy to see why Johnson would
write Looper with Gordon-Levitt in
mind, even naming the lead character Joe.
The Lookout (2007):
Not a lot of people saw the directing
debut from longtime screenwriter Scott
Frank, and that is a shame. Its a character
drama tucked inside a heist caper, with
building tension and beautifully drawn
characters. Gordon-Levitt stars as a once-
promising high school athlete who suffers a
head injury in a serious car crash that leaves
him with short-term memory loss. Several
years later, he makes some dangerous new
friends at a bar who eventually ask him to
help them rob the bank where he works as a
night janitor to serve as the lookout.
Gordon-Levitts everyman accessibility
puts us right there in the middle of the
crime, and his sense of loneliness makes
us understand why hed want to be bud-
dies with these people who are using
him.
Mysterious Skin (2005):
This was the first film that signaled the
kind of risky roles Gordon-Levitt was
interested in playing an indication
of the intriguing career hed go
on to carve out for him-
self. In writer-director
Gregg Arakis low-
budget drama, Gordon-
Levitt co-stars as a
small-town teenage
hustler named Neil: a
young man whose
repeated molestation
at the hands of his
little-league coach
starting at age 8
set him on a way-
ward path of dan-
ger and self-
destruction. Hes
a narcissistic,
blasi character
whose bravado
hides years of
damage, and
Gordon-Levitt por-
trays him with both
bravery and sympa-
thy. Clearly, this was
no longer the cute kid
from the TV sitcom 3rd
Rock From the Sun.

business by providing desserts to patients and
the public to enhance the optometry experi-
ence.
It is Dr. Katherine Lok Chans pleasure to
offer yogurt and many other desserts at her
optometry practice on 138 E. Third Ave.
Opened in 2008, Clear Optometry is home to
both Chans eye exams and refresh bar, a
dessert bar offering sweets ranging from
yogurt and cupcakes to coffee and gelato
along with toppings like fresh fruit and mochi.
Across from the frames display is the counter
and seating where customers can order and
relax. The purpose of the bar is to thank
patients and make their experience more
pleasant, Chan said.
To pamper her clients, each patient receives
a free voucher for a complimentary yogurt
and topping to use during their visit. The
yogurt recipe was crafted by Chan herself and
comes in avors like lychee, mango, passion
fruit and peach. It has been a hit with her
patients who sometimes come daily to say
hello and visit the refresh bar.
We see patients weekly. It feels comfort-
able here. It feels like family, Chan said.
The refresh bar is also open to the public for
anyone who wants to stop in just for a treat. It
is all about customer service, Chan said, and
providing a unique experience that sets her
practice apart.
It was Chans intention to create a destina-
tion with her dessert menu to make visiting
her business a comfortable experience. Her
inspiration for the setup came from working
for a private practice in Los Angeles that
catered to celebrity patients and also learning
from similar businesses in Europe and Japan.
They are high-end retailers who compli-
ment with a high-end dessert bar, Chan said.
Though Chan said her business is rst and
foremost an optometry practice, the desserts
she offers are one of a kind. The menu itself
rotates to offer what is popular on the local
scene. Blue Bottle Coffee of San Francisco,
San Mateos Sibbys Cupcakes, Marco Polo
gelato of San Francisco and Icis ice cream of
Berkeley are some of the unique desserts that
Chan offers. The quality desserts offered have
become a big draw in the community, mainly
by word of mouth from satised customers.
While dessert can be found in one place, a
whole days meal can be found at Chez Nicole
Doughnut and Chinese Food at 640 E. Third
Avenue that offers a two-in-one business. It is
an all-day affair, open from 5:30 a.m. to 10
p.m. Doughnuts and coffee are served from
opening time until 10:30 a.m. and then transi-
tions to serving Chinese food from 11 a.m. to
closing, said employee Lang Tran. Offering
breakfast, lunch and dinner all in one location
has been a big draw for many customers who
can come at any time and nd something to
eat.
Its a place to offer food all day, Tran said.
Chez Nicole has been an entirely family run
business for 16 years since Trans family pur-
chased the business from a previous owner.
The staff includes six family members with
Trans mother, Lola Chhoura, as the owner.
Serving doughnuts and Chinese food was
actually a business started by the previous
owner and, when Trans family took over, they
decided to take the opportunity to continue the
same service. They also decided to keep the
business name as well, which was named after
the very rst owners daughter 25 years ago,
and when only doughnuts were sold.
While Tran said there are other combination
stores like Chez Nicole in San Francisco, she
said that they are the only one she knows of on
the Peninsula. Some have found it to be an
odd combination, with some chuckling at the
concept, but more have found it to be a clever
idea, Tran said. Their business has regular
customers who have been coming for years
and their Chinese food has been a popular,
Tran said. It is their effort to maintain their
specialty of combination food and to keep
their prices affordable that brings customers
back, Tran said.
For those looking for catering and delivery,
Kamakshis Kitchen has all of the above.
Opened since December of last year at 724 S.
Amphlett Blvd., Kamakshis is a full-scale
kitchen that focuses on catering a global menu
inside a heating and cooling warehouse. The
main cuisine is northern and southern Indian
food, but also served are Italian, Mexican and
Indo-Chinese cuisines, including pizza that
can include Indian toppings like Paneer Tikka
pizza and Spicy Corn Chat pizza. Everything
is vegetarian and the menu changes every day
to feature a new lineup of food.
Along with the varied food selection, cook-
ing classes are offered for learning basic skills
or how to make individual dishes.
Veena Kallingal of Foster City is the main
chef who started the business eight years ago
after friends and family insisted she start
something because they enjoyed her cooking
at parties. It soon became clear that cooking
was her passion, inspiring her to begin a busi-
ness to provide home-cooked meals to those
who may not have time to cook themselves.
Initially starting at home and then moving
to a space in Belmont, Kallingal chose San
Mateo as her nal location. And not just any
location; the space Kallingal is using is leased
from Gafgan Company that specializes in
heating and cooling systems.
The open space was available after the pre-
vious tenants retired, said Gafgan president
Cheryl Robertson. Kallingal and her husband
came to her with a well-thought-out plan,
Robertson said, which gave Gafgan a good
reason to lease them the space. It has turned
out to be a good relationship for the two busi-
nesses, with Gafgan even ordering their food
on occasion.
They are a nice young couple with a nice
clean operation, Robertson said.
Though the kitchen may be one of the few
in the mostly industrial area on Amphlett
Boulevard, Kallingal thinks the location ts
what she was looking for.
I dont mind, I like the signage on the free-
way. Im happy with the size of the kitchen,
Kallingal said.
After a year of preparations building her
kitchen from the ground up, she is now up and
running, catering for groups like parties and
ofces and also for the small lunch and
brunch she hosts at the kitchen on weekdays
and Saturdays.
It was worth investing in a place for big
and small dishes, Kallingal said.
The focus is on providing healthy home-
style cooking to customers with many vari-
eties from which to choose. Whether one
comes in to eat or orders for delivery, the food
is made to be authentic and from the home,
Kallingal said.
Like the other multi-service businesses,
Kallingal offers something that provokes
curiosity and is one of a kind, which is a
rewarding venture.
Its been my dream for a long time,
Kallingal said.
FOOD
and organizational development in its
effort to meet those needs.
In the summer of 2006, HopeLab began to
work on ideas of how to improve the battle
against obesity. It began with a nationwide
contest to get ideas from kids which HopeLab
could use as a starting point.
It was clear an incentive was needed. An
accelerometer of sorts, something that meas-
ures movement, was the end result. Called the
gDitty, it is designed to increase physical
activity for 11- to 14-year-olds as a way to
curb childhood obesity. The wearable activity
monitor tracks and saves information about
the movement of those wearing it. Activity
data can be uploaded onto a corresponding
website, earning the youngster points that can
be redeemed for rewards.
Richard Tate, vice president of communica-
tions and marketing at HopeLab, explained
gDitty was the earlier version of Zamzee. The
revamping in 2010 came with a name change
inspired by zone activity minutes. Not all the
movements for kids are counted, he
explained. The goal is to get kids moving in a
moderate exercise level, he said.
The result was the small device available
on zamzee.com or Amazon.com for $29.95
that a child can synch to an online communi-
ty to track progress. Access to the online com-
munity is free. Parents can purchase incen-
tives for their children. Children can also take
on personal tness challenges through the
site. Often those challenges have a game-like
nature to encourage activity, Tate said.
The study followed 448 middle-school-
aged children throughout the country in
urban, suburban and rural areas. Half the chil-
dren used the meter with access to the online
community while the others had no access to
the motivational site. Kids who used the activ-
ity meter along with the website showed an
average increase in moderate-to-vigorous
physical activity by 59 percent about 45
additional minutes per week, according to the
study results. Overweight participants
increased their physical activity by 27 percent
and girls saw an increase of 103 percent.
Children also gave blood draws during the
study which found the increased activity led
to a decrease in bad cholesterol and improved
blood sugar control.
With the release of the results, Tate is hope-
ful more partnerships with schools and non-
prots will be possible to make the product
widely available to children.

Californians and those bringing their guns to
shooting ranges or gunsmiths.
The rie and shotgun ban sparked lengthy
debates in both houses of the Legislature, with
Republicans calling it an attempt to infringe
on Second Amendment rights.
Opponents, including the National Rie
Association, said the numerous exemptions
included in the ban showed that it was unnec-
essarily restrictive and underscored that long
guns are an integral part of American culture.
Supporters noted that it was law enforce-
ment ofcers who sought the ban, including
the state police chiefs association and the
Peace Officers Research Association of
California, which represents local, state and
federal law enforcement ofcers.
Ofcers said the open display of long guns
in coffee shops and city centers was causing
alarm because only the owner of the gun can
tell whether it is loaded. It is already illegal to
openly carry a loaded gun in California.
Portantino said in a statement that he had
hoped the ban he carried last year on the open
carry of handguns would be sufcient, but
after gun rights advocates showed up at a
police fundraiser carrying long guns, it
became clear that there was more work to do.
I want to thank Governor Brown for recog-
nizing the importance of this public safety
measure that will help reduce the threat of gun
violence for the public and for law enforce-
ment, he said.
Brown also vetoed several pieces of gun-
related legislation Friday. One of the bills he
rejected, SB1366, would have required own-
ers to report stolen or lost rearms to authori-
ties within 48 hours of discovering them miss-
ing.
For the most part, responsible people
report the loss or theft of a rearm and irre-
sponsible people do not, the Democratic gov-
ernor said in a statement. I am skeptical that
this bill would change these behaviors.
Another vetoed bill would have allowed law
enforcement ofcers to ne parents whose
children break the law by taking BB guns to
public places. Brown also rejected AB2460,
which would have prevented law enforcement
ofcials and members of the military from
selling unsafe handguns to the general pub-
lic.
This bill takes from law enforcement of-
cers the right to an activity that remains legal-
ly available to every private citizen, Brown
said in his veto statement. I dont believe this
is justied.
GUNS
Teachers will see a 2 percent increase in
salary this year and health and wellness bene-
fits, according to the two-year agreement
approved Thursday. In total, the increase will
cost about $1.05 million annually, according
to a staff report.
Superintendent Scott Laurences contract
was changed to include a $9,000 increase
boosting his base pay from $211,000 to
$220,000, said Trustee Stephen Rogers. In
addition, Laurence will receive funds for pro-
fessional development annually rather than
over two years, as was previously done.
Lastly, Laurence will now be allotted a hotel
allowance to be used when working late,
specically for board meetings.
At the same meeting, the board decided to
name the yet-to-be-completed new Capuchino
High School theater after former superintend-
ent Sam Johnson.
Johnson, who now works as the director of
administrative services and instructor at Notre
Dame de Namur University, retired from the
district in 2007 after a tumultuous year that
included layoffs, budget cuts, calls for his res-
ignation, teacher contract protests leading to a
no condence vote and a student walkout.
During his time at the helm, the district also
implemented the academic core and seven-
period day and passed a bond measure.
Johnson had a long history with the district.
He began teaching math at San Mateo High
School in 1968. Johnson earned his masters
degree and administration accreditation in
1974 and became assistant principal at
Capuchino the following year. He served as
the principal of the San Bruno school from
1980 through 1989. In the summer of 1989, he
moved to the district ofce and worked in a
variety of positions before becoming superin-
tendent in 2004.
Lastly, the board heard a brief report about
the concept of a 400-student charter school.
The six-page report from Capuchino Vice
Principal Ken Montgomery and teacher
Nicole Cerra gives a number of concepts that
could be used in a school called Ideal High
School, or i.hs. Only two trustees Peter
Hanley and Marc Friedman had met with
those pitching the idea. Other trustees had
questions and requested the opportunity to
discuss those with Montgomery and Cerra.
While the i.hs information did not include a
possible location or finances, they did
announce a goal of implementing changes in
2014.
The vision calls for a creative environment
thats different from the traditional classroom
and pulls from Stanford University research.
Also, students and teachers would use a ex-
book online platform to individualize work.
DISTRICT
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2012
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If both you and a cohort
want to run the show and have differing opinions,
temporarily part company until you can agree to a
meeting of the minds. Only then can you do things in
harmony.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Attempting to do more
than you can comfortably manage will prove to be
self-defeating. Success will be denied you until you
appreciate your limitations and operate within them.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Its best not to
take any speculative risks, but if youre going to
gamble, do so only on yourself. Taking a chance on
anybody else would be foolish.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Try to avoid being
unduly infuenced by someone who doesnt neces-
sarily have your best interests at heart. If you strive
to please this person, you may come a cropper.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Dont criticize the
ideas of others unless you can offer some construc-
tive concepts that you believe to be superior. If you
cant, its best not to say anything at all.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Be careful -- youre
not always the shrewd shopper you think you
are. Theres a strong chance you could purchase
something only to discover it being sold cheaper
elsewhere.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Make it clear to an
associate that he or she is not to make any decision
for you without your approval. This is someone who
does this all the time in order to get his or her way,
and it needs to stop.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Guard against a ten-
dency to yield to negative inclinations. Be optimistic
about whats ahead, and dont allow yourself to feel
overwhelmed before you begin.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Although youll be in a
gregarious mood, you might not be too careful about
your social skills and communication. Youll end up
alone if you march to a different drummer.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- When used well, origi-
nality is an enviable quality. However, dont attempt
to tailor your words, ideas and thoughts just to be
different, without making sure of their quality.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You might have to deal with
someone who has taken an adverse position on
something about which you feel strongly. Dont allow
yourself to provoke an angry reaction.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Unless its vital to do
so, its best for you not to purchase anything that
exceeds your budget. Even settling for cheaper
merchandise will give you remorse.

WASHINGTON World powers decided
Thursday to lay the groundwork for another
round of negotiations with Iran over its disput-
ed nuclear program, a senior U.S. ofcial said,
but they want a signicantly improved offer
from the Islamic republic.
Neither the U.S. nor any of its international
partners was ready to abandon diplomacy in
favor of military or other actions, as Israeli
President Benjamin Netanyahu has advocated.
The new hope for negotiated end to Irans
decade-long nuclear standoff came after
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton met
with the foreign ministers of Britain, China,
France, Germany and Russia powers that
have sought, over several rounds of talks, to
persuade Iran to halt its production of material
that could be used in nuclear weapons. All such
efforts have failed so far.
The latest stab at a diplomatic compromise
collapsed this summer after Iran proposed to
stop producing higher-enriched uranium in
exchange for a suspension in international
sanctions, which Clinton has termed a non-
starter. The U.S. ofcial said Iran would have
to bring a much better offer to the table this
time, but stressed that nations were seeing
some signs for optimism and that diplomacy
remained far and away the preferred way to
deal with this issue.
Catherine Ashton, the European Unions top
diplomat, who has been spearheading the inter-
national diplomacy with Iran, was instructed to
reach out to Irans top nuclear negotiator, Saeed
Jalili. Still, no date was set for the possible
resumption of the so-called P5+1 talks with
Iran, said the U.S. ofcial, who spoke on con-
dition of anonymity because she wasnt author-
ized to comment publicly about the closed-
doors meeting at the United Nations.
After looking for a diplomatic solution there,
Clinton met later Thursday with Netanyahu
one-on-one for 75 minutes at a New York hotel
where she was expected to hear the alternative
argument for possible military action. The U.S.
ofcial said they agreed that Iran must be pre-
vented from becoming a nuclear power, with-
out going into details.
Their meeting occurred just hours after the
Israeli leader warned in an address to the U.N.
General Assembly that Iran will have enough
enriched uranium for a nuclear weapon by next
summer.
Pulling out a red marker while holding a
poster depicting a cartoon-like bomb that meas-
ured Irans nuclear progress, Netanyahu drew a
red line across the second-to-last stage of
nuclear development, reminding everyone of
his demand for President Barack Obama to
declare when the U.S. might attack Iran.
Obama has rejected the demand.
It is getting late, very late to stop the
Iranian nuclear threat, Netanyahu said at the
United Nations.
Red lines dont lead to war; red lines pre-
vent war, he said.
Iran insists its program is solely for peaceful
energy and medical research purposes, while
the U.S. and many Western and Sunni Arab
states see that as a cover for developing nuclear
arms. But there is disagreement on how to stop
Iran, with Obama insisting there is more time
for diplomacy and hard-hitting sanctions while
Netanyahu presses for a military response.
That disagreement has spilled over into
Obamas bid for re-election, with Republican
challenger Mitt Romney accusing the president
of being weak on Iran. Romney has promised a
more credible threat of military action and clos-
er alignment of U.S. policy with Netanyahus
positions an argument that resonates with
some Jewish and pro-Israel evangelical
Christian voters.

AUVERS-SUR-OISE, France The
leader of an Iranian militant group that was
taken off the U.S. terror list on Friday says the
move will change her groups balance of
power with the world predicting a higher
prole in politics, fundraising and diplomacy
as well as increased anti-regime activity in
Iran.
The U.S. State Department said the Peoples
Mujahedeen of Iran (MEK) hasnt committed
terror for more than a decade. The decision
means that effective immediately, any assets
the group has in the United States are
unblocked and Americans are permitted to do
business with the organization.
Maryam Rajavi, the Paris-based head of the
exiled opposition group, said in a rare inter-
view that she hopes the organization can now
have the ear of the worlds diplomats to help
bolster its bid to overthrow Irans clerical
regime. She stressed that its goal was to
replace the Islamic Republic with a democrat-
ic government.
Rajavi praised the courage of U.S.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton for
what MEK believes was a long overdue deci-
sion. A court order had given Clinton until
Oct. 1 to act. The group was removed from the
European Unions terrorist list in 2009.
It now has become evident for everyone
that these (terror) allegations were untrue,
she said. This is a movement for freedom and
democracy in Iran.
The Iranian regime is likely to be furious at
the U.S. decision to delist MEK for years
the only armed exile opposition group. The
group, which began as a guerrilla movement
fighting Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi,
helped overthrow the monarch in 1979 then
quickly fell out with the Islamic Republics
rst leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
MEK later teamed up with Iraq to battle Iran
in an eight-year war in the 1980s, then from its
Iraqi base continued military action against
neighboring Iran.
A senior State Department official said
Washington does not view the group as an
opposition movement that can promote demo-
cratic values in Iran.
