Group funds local nonprofits with annual party
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
What started out as an idea between a
handful of friends during Wednesday night
potlucks more than 10 years ago has
turned into an annual event that raises
thousands of dollars each year for local
nonprots such as the
Second Harvest Food
Bank and Bay Area
M a k e - A - W i s h
Foundation.
The host of those
potlucks way back
when was John Green,
who was properly diag-
nosed with multiple
sclerosis at the age of
44 after having symp-
toms of the disease, including tingling
ngers and numbness in his legs, for
about 20 years.
He and his friends decided to hold an MS
fundraiser to raise awareness for the dis-
ease, which aficts more than 2 million
people worldwide.
They secured a venue, printed out about
120 tickets and got other friends to chip
in rafe items or other goods for a silent
auction.
He also roped his high school sweet-
heart Gale Divver to help produce the
event, who had just moved to the
Peninsula from the East Coast.
The idea was to raise money to crush
MS and crush quickly became
C.R.U.S.H. caring about each other in
a human way; responsibility for each
other as brothers and sisters regardless of
age, religion, gender or nationality;
understanding of each other as imperfect
humans; sharing of our money, time,
food, quilts and music; and hope for a hap-
pier and more connected tomorrow.

SACRAMENTO Minors in
California will have a chance to
remove embarrassing photo-
graphs and potentially damaging
postings on social media websites
under a bill that has been signed
into law by Gov. Jerry Brown.
The Democratic governor on
Monday announced signing
SB568 by Senate President Pro
Tem Darrell Steinberg. Its central
purpose is to give those under age
18 a second chance after they post
something and
later regret it.
Under the law,
which takes
effect in January
2015, website
operators would
be required to
erase postings
when asked by
the minor to do
so. Steinbergs office said
California would be the rst state
with such a requirement, although
it would not apply if the content

Brown signs bill to allow those under
18 to remove embarrassing content
Under a new law, which takes effect in January 2015, website operators
would be required to erase postings when asked by a minor to do so.

Officials with the Peninsula Humane
Society and San Francisco-based Pets
Unlimited are considering ways to work
more closely together which might one day
include a merger to better serve animals and
the people who care for them, said Scott
Delucchi, spokesman for PHS.
For now, however, the two groups are
looking at ways to simply save money by
joining forces to procure veterinary or other
supplies, Delucchi said.
Moving forward, he
suspects more nonprot s

with other like-minded
groups as a way to keep
their services sustain-
able.
Many of the board
members with both
groups are acquainted

San Carlos Elementary School District
officials voted at their Sept. 12 board
meeting to give the superintendent a $1.3
million home loan so he could move into

Oracle sued over S.F.
strip club charges
SAN FRANCISCO A San
Francisco strip club is suing business
software maker Oracle Corp. over an
unpaid bill of more than $30,000 that
was allegedly racked up on a company
credit card.
The New Century Theater says a man
charged the amount to an Oracle credit
card on two separate occasions just
days apart last year. In court records,
the man is identied as Jose Manuel
Gomez Sanchez.
New Century says the credit card
Sanchez used was issued by Oracle, so
Oracle is responsible for the debt.
The lawsuit was filed in San
Francisco Superior Court earlier this
month.
Oracle spokeswoman Deborah
Hellinger declined to comment on the
suit.
The Associated Press could not nd a
contact number for Sanchez, and no
attorney was listed for him in online
court records.
Man dies after
parachuting off mountain
ST. HELENA Napa County author-
ities say a man died after colliding
with the side of a mountain while para-
chuting off Mount St. Helena.
The Santa Rosa Press Democrat
reports that 35-year-old Walden
Grindle, an avid BASE jumper, had
hiked up a re trail with a parachute on
Sunday to the top of the mountain and
jumped off.
BASE jumpers leap from high
places: buildings, cliffs or other
perches, and parachute down.
Napa County sheriffs Sgt. Doug
Pace says Grindle called someone from
his cellphone after breaking his hip in
the collision.
Grindle had also activated an emer-
gency beacon, and authorities were
dispatched at 12:40 p.m.
Crews found Grindle, who was
recently married, dead at about 1:10
p.m.
Walden had been arrested previously
for jumping off El Capitan in Yosemite
National Park.
Popular bathroom wipes
blamed for sewer clogs
BEMUS POINT, N.Y.
Increasingly popular bathroom wipes
pre-moistened towelettes that are
often advertised as ushable are
being blamed for creating clogs and
backups in sewer systems around the
nation.
Wastewater authorities say wipes
may go down the toilet, but even many
labeled ushable arent breaking down
as they course through the sewer sys-
tem. Thats costing some municipali-
ties millions of dollars to dispatch
crews to unclog pipes and pumps and
to replace and upgrade machinery.
The problem got so bad in this west-
ern New York community this summer
that sewer ofcials set up traps bas-
ket strainers in sections of pipe lead-
ing to an oft-clogged pump to gure
out which households the wipes were
coming from. They mailed letters and
then pleaded in person for residents to
stop ushing them.
We could walk right up, knock on
the door and say, Listen, this problem
is coming right from your house,
said Tom Walsh, senior project coordi-
nator at South & Center Chautauqua
Lake Sewer Districts, which was dis-
patching crews at least once a week to
clear a grinder pump that would seize
up trying to shred the brous wipes.
The National Association of Clean
Water Agencies, which represents 300
wastewater agencies, says it has been
hearing complaints about wipes from
sewer systems big and small for about
the past four years.
That roughly coincides with the
ramped-up marketing of the ushable
cleansing cloths as a cleaner, fresher
option than dry toilet paper alone. A
trade group says wipes are a $6 bil-
lion-a-year industry, with sales of
consumer wipes increasing nearly 5
percent a year since 2007 and expected
to grow at a rate of 6 percent annually
for the next ve years.

Renewing a parcel tax to maintain existing
local school funding is the goal of measure R,
an item on the Nov. 5 ballot for the Belmont-
Redwood Shores Elementary School District.
Last week, the Daily Journal interviewed the
Yes on R campaign, including the campaigns
co-chair Rahila Passi and board President
Robert Tashjian in an in-ofce interview.
There was no formal ballot argument oppos-
ing the measure.
The measure renews two school district par-
cel taxes into one totaling $174 per parcel a
year. Currently, Belmont-Redwood Shores has
two parcel taxes. Measure G, a $96 a year par-
cel tax for 10 years, passed in 2004. It gener-
ates about $1.2 million annually. In 2008,
voters passed Measure U, a seven-year $78
annual tax that brings in about $950,000 per
year.
The funds would go to reading, writing,
math and science programs, supporting
school libraries, attracting and retaining
teachers and maintaining a well-rounded cur-
riculum, including music and art and support-
ing technology upgrades. This would be a 10-
year parcel tax starting July 1, 2015.
It preserves the status quo and is absolutely
necessary to keep the lights on in the dis-
trict, Tashjian said.
The extras beyond teacher salary will have
to be cut if measure R doesnt pass, Passi said.
This is the minimum level of funding moving
forward and that the district could go with a
much larger ask if some families werent still
struggling coming out of the recession,
Tashjian said.
The pending Common Core curriculum,
which shifts to team collaborative learning,
with less time spent on lectures and more of an
emphasis on students using technology in
classrooms will also require these technology
upgrades, the two noted.
The district is expecting to see a lot more
students in the next ve to six years, Tashjian
said, noting that this fall there are 3,800,
more than the typical number. This will help
the district address enrollment growth, he
said.
We are using facilities in the most eco-
nomically feasible way possible, Tashjian
said. We changed the school assignment sys-
tem, built Redwood Shores Elementary
School and added capacity at Ralston [Middle
School]. Having relatively affordable homes
in the district has added students.
The new Local Control Funding Formula
will send $2.1 billion more to school districts
that have high numbers of students from
lower-income families, who have limited
English prociency or are foster children.
During the rst year, the formula gives school
districts more control over state aid by elimi-
nating earmarks for state-mandated programs,
except for special education funding. There is
still uncertainty in the district about how its
budget will be affected.
Education funding in California is a mess,
he said. This is also a signal from the com-
munity that they support the schools.
The importance of schools for the entire
community, not just those who are parents in
the district, is something Passi stressed.
Home owners are affected by the quality of
the schools since they bring up or down home
values, Passi said.
Such a measure requires support from two-
thirds of the voters to pass. Earlier this year,
the board approved a study of public opinions
about continuing the measure.
Renewal of elementary school parcel tax on fall ballot

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
A PG&E shareholder Monday led a law-
suit against the utilitys management alleg-
ing that they diverted money for pipeline
safety and used it for other corporate uses,
including giving themselves hefty bonus-
es.
The lawsuit, led in San Mateo County
Superior Court by shareholder Hind Bou-
Salman, argues that PG&Es executives cre-
ated a prots over safety corporate culture
that led to tragedies like the 2010 pipeline
explosion in San Bruno that killed eight
people and destroyed 38 homes.
PG&E ofcials said earlier this month
that the utility has settled nearly 500 con-
dential claims totaling more than $565 mil-
lion related to the San Bruno explosion.
The California Public Utilities
Commission is also currently considering a
nancial penalty against PG&E that could
exceed $2 billion.
Had PG&Es management required that
corporate funds be used for maintenance and
repairs when it should have, the cost to
PG&E would have been minimal in compar-
ison to the signicant nancial injury the
company now faces and will face in the
future, the lawsuit states.
Instead, the lawsuit states that PG&E
executives promoted an atmosphere and
culture in which short-term prots, cost cut-
ting and personal proteering was put ahead
of the proper management of the company.
Bou-Salman, a Millbrae resident and
PG&E stockholder for 23 years, is seeking
changes in the utilitys management poli-
cies and for the return of executive bonuses
approved by PG&Es board of directors.
PG&E and its shareholders are bearing
the nancial brunt of decisions made by the
companys executives, Mark Molumphy,
the attorney representing Bou-Salman, said
in a statement.

SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown
announced Monday he has signed legisla-
tion requiring California drivers to stay at
least 3 feet away when passing bicyclists.
The proposal from Assemblyman Steven
Bradford, D-Gardena, is intended to better
protect cyclists from aggressive drivers. It
states that if drivers cannot leave 3 feet of
space, they must slow down and pass only
when it would not endanger the cyclists
safety.
The law will go into effect Sept. 16,
2014. Current law requires a driver to keep a
safe distance when passing a bicyclist but
does not specify how far that is.
At least 22 states and the District of
Columbia dene a safe passing distance as a
buffer of at least 3 feet, according to a leg-
islative analysis of the bill.
Bradfords bill, AB1371, was sponsored
by Los Angeles Mayor Antonio
Villaraigosa, an avid cyclist who was
injured in 2010 after a taxi driver abruptly
pulled in front of him. It also drew support
from several cyclist groups, such as the
California Association of Bicycling
Organizations.
This gives clear information to drivers
about passing at a safe distance, said Steve
Finnegan, government affairs manager for
the Automobile Club of Southern
California, which supported the legisla-
tion. Everyone using the road needs to fol-
low the rules and watch out for everyone
else.
Brown signed the legislation after veto-
ing similar measures in 2011 and 2012.
Those bills would have allowed drivers to
cross a double-yellow line to make room for
a cyclist or required them to slow to 15 mph
when passing within 3 feet.
The governor cited concerns that the pro-
visions could spark more crashes or make
the state liable for collisions resulting from
a driver crossing a yellow dividing line.
Some lawmakers who opposed the bill,
such as Senate Minority Leader Bob Huff, R-
Diamond Bar, said it would be difcult to
estimate a 3-foot distance while driving,
especially when cyclists also might be
swerving to avoid road hazards.
Bradfords spokesman, Matt Stauffer, said
case-by-case enforcement will be up to
local police departments. The overall aim is
to remind drivers and cyclists that they have
a responsibility to behave safely on the
road, Stauffer said.
Cyclists will get 3-foot buffer under new law
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Paul Michael Ambler, a 58-year-old for-
mer San Mateo resident caught in a child
pornography sting early last year missed
his sentencing hearing yesterday morning
because he is in Arizona and cannot afford to
y back to California until October, accord-
ing to the San Mateo County District
Attorneys Ofce.
Ambler was arrested on a day that nine
other child porn suspects were also arrested
in a joint operation headed by San Jose
police, including three who resided in San
Mateo. One of those suspects, however,
later hanged himself at his home near down-
town.
A search of Amblers home revealed he
possessed images and videos of children
between the ages of 6 and 15 engaged in
various sex acts. The
child pornography was
obtained from as far away
as England and numerous
emails related to the trad-
ing and forwarding of
child pornography were
found as well, according
to the District Attorneys
Ofce.
He pleaded no contest
in July 2012 to felony possession of child
pornography in exchange for doing no time
in state prison.
The court took a bench warrant under sub-
mission and continued the case to Oct. 10
for receipt of the pre-sentence report and for
imposition of sentence, according to the
District Attorneys Ofce.
State finalizes citation
rules for gas companies
The state Public Utilities Commission
has finalized guidelines for citations
against natural gas companies that could
cost them as much as $50,000 a day for each
safety violation.
The PUC released the guidelines on
Friday. In addition to spelling out possible
nes, they establish a whistleblower pro-
gram to allow utility employees to report
problems anonymously and without fear of
retaliation.
The commission has a backlog of more
than 600 natural gas safety violations,
including some acknowledged by Pacic
Gas & Electric Co. after the deadly 2010 gas
pipeline blast inSan Bruno.
The commission says it will soon begin
issuing citations for those and other previ-
ously identied violations.

modations and allow workers to wear head
scarves as part of a settlement of discrimi-
nation lawsuits led in California, lawyers
announced Monday.
The retailer will now allow hijabs, the tra-
ditional head scarves worn by many Muslim
women when in public.
One judge determined the Ohio-based
company red a Muslim worker from a San
Mateo store, while another judge said it
refused to hire another woman in the state
because of their refusal to remove their
hijabs during work.
The rulings came after the U.S. Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission
led lawsuits on behalf of both women.

Young parents in the foster care system face the chal-
lenges of being in foster care as well as being a young,
usually single, parent. Studies have found that they will
experience higher than average rates of poverty, unem-
ployment and low educational attainment. SB 528 will
provide assistance to these parents so they and their
child have a better chance of success, according to Yees
office.
SB 528 encourages the implementation of a successful
program in Los Angeles that provides parenting teens in
foster care with individual conferences with specialists
who can explain resources available and help facilitate a
plan for raising the child, including access to prenatal
care and maternal health resources, according to Yees

WASHINGTON House Republicans
are far less ambitious this week in their
demands for spending cuts to erase new
debt issued to pay the governments
bills than they were during a budget bat-
tle two years ago.
The list of cuts under consideration
now tallies up to a fraction of the almost
$1 trillion in additional borrowing that
would be permitted under a GOP propos-
al for enabling the government to pay
its bills through December of next year.
Two years ago, House Speaker John
Boehner, R-Ohio, insisted on spending
cuts totaling $2.1 trillion over a decade
as the price to meet President Barack
Obamas demand for a like-sized
increase in the governments borrowing
cap, also known as the debt ceiling.
Those cuts involved tighter caps on
agency operating budgets as well as the
automatic, across-the-board cuts known
as sequestration triggered by the failure
of a decit supercommittee to reach a
deal.
The problem now
is that there isnt a
roster of big, politi-
cally palatable cuts
ready to go. Instead,
Republicans have
put together a grab
bag of smaller sav-
ings ideas, like
higher pension con-
tributions for feder-
al workers, higher premiums for upper-
income Medicare beneciaries, caps on
medical malpractice verdicts and reduced
payments to hospitals that treat more
poor people than average.
Aleading set of proposals comes from
a House GOP leadership ofce and was
circulating on Washingtons K Street
lobbying corridor on Monday. It
includes a plan to increase pension con-
tributions of federal civilian workers by
up to 5 percentage points and lowering
the federal match accordingly, which
could help defray the decit by up to $84
billion over a decade. Another, to block
immigrants in the country illegally
from claiming the child tax credit would
save just $7 billion over the same peri-
od. Eliminating the Social Services
Block Grant, a exible funding stream
for states to help with day care, Meals
on Wheels, and drug treatment facilities,
would save less than $2 billion a year.
Taken together, these proposals and
others could cut spending by perhaps
$200 billion over the coming decade.
While GOP aides say details arent set,
House leaders are looking at an increase
in the current $16.7 trillion debt ceiling
sufcient to cover the governments
bills until the beginning of 2015.
According to calculations by the
Bipartisan Policy Center think tank in
Washington, that would require raising
the borrowing cap by almost $1 tril-
lion.
Boehner insists that any increase in
the borrowing cap be matched by budg-
et cuts and other reforms to produce sav-
ings of an equal amount, though not on
a dollar-for-dollar basis over 10 years
like in 2011. Its a somewhat nebulous
standard because of the difculty in
quantifying how much any given
reform is worth.

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

Egypt Brotherhood
ban opens way to
wider crackdown
By Maggie Michael
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAIRO An Egyptian court on Monday
ordered the banning of the Muslim
Brotherhood and the confiscation of its
assets, opening the door for authorities to
dramatically accelerate a crackdown on the
extensive network of schools, hospitals,
charities and other social institutions that
was the foundation of the groups political
power.
Security forces have already been moving
against the Brotherhoods social networks,
raiding schools and hospitals run by the
group since the militarys July 3 ouster of
Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.
The sweep points to the ambitions of
Egypts new leaders to go beyond the arrests
of top Brotherhood gures to strike a long-
term, even mortal, blow to the group by hit-
ting the pillars of its grassroots organiza-
tion. Doing so could cripple the groups
political prospects far into the future.

WASHINGTON The number of immi-
grants crossing the border illegally into the
U.S. appears to be on the rise again after
dropping during the recession.
The total number of immigrants living in
this country unlawfully edged up from 11. 3
million in 2009 to 11.7 million last year,
with those from countries other than
Mexico at an apparent all-time high,
according to a report released Monday by
the Pew Research Centers Hispanic Trends
Project.
The change is within the margin of error,
and there will be a more precise census
measure released later this year. Still, based
in part on other factors such as increased
U.S. border apprehensions, the sharp
decline in illegal immigration from 2007-
2009 has clearly bottomed out, with signs
the numbers are now rising, Pew said.
Pew said that among the six states with
the largest numbers of immigrants here ille-
gally, only Texas had a consistent increase
in illegal immigration from 2007 to 2011,
due in part to its stronger economy. Its num-
ber was unchanged from 2011 to 2012. Two
states Florida and New Jersey had an
initial drop but then increases during the
same 2007-2011 period. Three states
California, Illinois and New York showed
only declines.
As a whole, with the recession ending,
the decrease in illegal immigration has
stopped, said Jeffrey Passel, a senior
demographer at Pew.
Passel noted that historically the level of
illegal immigration has been closely tied to
the strength of the U.S. economy and avail-
ability of jobs. Since 2009, the average
U.S. unemployment rate has dropped from
9.3 percent to 8.1 percent last year, with
signs of strength in the construction indus-
try, which yields jobs generally attractive
to newly arrived Latino immigrants.
The Pew analysis is based on census data
through March 2012. Because the Census
Bureau does not ask people about their
immigration status, the estimate on illegal
immigrants is derived largely by subtract-
ing the estimated legal immigrant popula-
tion from the total foreign-born popula-
tion. It is a method that has been used by the
government and Pew for many years and is
generally accepted.

NEWYORK The Obama administration
edged close to direct, high-level talks with
Irans new government on Monday, with
Secretary of State John Kerry slated to meet
his Iranian counterpart this week and the
White House weighing the risks and rewards
of an encounter between President Barack
Obama and Irans president, Hasan Rouhani.
An Obama-Rouhani exchange on the side-
lines of the U.N. General Assembly would
mark the rst meeting at that high level for
the two nations in more than 30 years. Such
talks could signal a turning point in U.S.-
Iranian relations but also could be seen as
a premature endorsement for a new Iranian
government that has yet to answer key ques-
tions about the future of its disputed nuclear
program.
Obama advisers said no meeting was sched-
uled. But they added that the U.S. planned to
take advantage of diplomatic opportunities
while in New York and indicated they were
not leaving a possible encounter between
Obama and Rouhani to chance.
I dont think that anything would hap-
pen by happenstance on a relationship and
an issue that is this important, Ben
Rhodes, Obamas deputy national security
adviser, told reporters traveling with the
president to New York.

WASHINGTON Stung by public unease
about new details of spying by the National
Security Agency, President Barack Obama
selected a panel of advisers he described as
independent experts to scrutinize the NSAs
surveillance programs to be sure they
werent violating civil liberties and to
restore Americans trust.
But with just weeks remaining before
its first deadline to report back to the
White House, the review panel has effec-
tively been operating as an arm of the
Office of the Director of National
Intelligence, which oversees the NSAand
all other U.S. spy efforts.
The panels advisers work in ofces on
loan from the DNI. Interview requests and
press statements from the review panel are
carefully coordinated through the DNIs
press office. James Clapper, the intelli-
gence director, exempted the panel from
U.S. rules that require federal committees to
conduct their business and their meetings in
ways the public can observe.

Cyclist death
conveyed inaccurately
Editor,
Why, when reporting on the woman
killed while riding her bicycle on
Skyline, do you report that she
crashed into a Mazda minivan
(Bicyclist killed in crash Wednesday
was a former Amazon CFO in the
Sept. 20 edition of the Daily
Journal)? Borrowing the words of the
California Highway Patrol (CHP),
who also failed to cite the driver,
leaves the wrong impression; it
leaves the impression that Joy
Covey, the bicyclist, was at fault. She
denitely was not.
This story should have read: She
was killed when the driver of a mini-
van cut her off while making a left-
hand turn. Words to that effect would
have been more accurate.
I am reluctant to make this criti-
cism because it may appear as minc-
ing words at a time of a tragic death.
Joy Covey, however, deserves to be
put in the best light possible; she
simply went out for an afternoon ride
and did not make it home alive. Why
should the news story leave any doubt
to her innocence? It is bad enough
that the law ofcers left the scene in
doubt of who was at fault; your news-
paper should not play along.
I have had an experience exactly
like Ms. Coveys. Fortunately, who I
rode with survived the crash.
However, then as now, the CHP did
not cite the driver for violation of
vehicle code section 21801 (a) and
left my friend with an unjust struggle
in court.
My experience was in 1993. Since
then, how many bicycle versus vehi-
cle crashes have there been in our
area? How many where the cyclist
died? How many where the driver was
cited? Is the vehicle code only a sug-
gestion when a driver hits a cyclist?

Redwood City leads
again with leased parking
Editor,
The Sierra Club is supportive of
innovative parking practices that
reduce driving and encourage use of
alternative transportation. Thus, we
are appreciative the Redwood City
Planning Commission approved a
mixed-use project that allows resi-
dents to lease parking space sepa-
rately from their base rent (Daily
Journal story, Three-tower condo
project moves ahead in the Sept. 5
edition). The practice is known as
unbundling because normally, park-
ing space and apartment rents are
bundled regardless of whether the
tenants need or want the parking
spaces.
The effect of bundled parking is to
subsidize driving and increase the
cost of housing. By removing the
subsidy, the tenant has a nancial
incentive to consider alternatives to
driving, especially if the building is
accessible to public transit, has pro-
tected bike parking and car-share, and
is located in a walkable community
with nearby shopping and services.
When Redwood City introduced con-
gestion-based public parking several
years ago, they showed themselves to
be leaders in making parking more
efcient. However, the commission
should have gone further by requiring
the developer to include shared park-
ing, where residential parking that
lies empty during the day is shared
during business hours with neighbor-
ing business that needs parking. In
addition, now that development is
intensifying, the city needs to con-
sider a residential parking permit pro-
gram to protect adjacent neighbor-
hoods from overow downtown park-
ing. Whether the goal is to make
more parking available by managing
the existing supply more efciently,
or encouraging residents to own one
less car to reduce their rent, we all win
because the environment is a winner.

Taking a swipe at wipes
Editor,
I would like to thank Michelle
Durand for her witty and informative
column, Royal Flush, in the Sept.
17 edition of the Daily Journal. I had
no idea that wipes take such a toll on
the bowl and are a big strain on the
drain. Now that the public has been
warned about what not to load in the
commode, lets hope people will no
longer rush to ush and show sloth
with the cloth. Dont commit a foul
with the towel! Instead, stash it in the
trash and declare the throne a wipe-
free zone because they dont ow,
they make fatbergs grow! We must
endeavor to keep wipes out of the

San Carlos Transit Village
Editor,
In Mr. Phillips letter supporting
the San Carlos Transit Village (Sept.
21 issue of the Daily Journal), he
compares the areas of Laurel, Walnut
and Elm streets to the SCTV. The pro-
posed Planned Development zoning
of SCTV includes completely different
parameters than multi family zoning
areas including building height, units
per square acre, city requirements and
waivers for the developer.
Mr. Phillips claims more people
walk to the Caltrain station than
park. I guess he has never seen the
free Caltrain parking lot in the East
Side neighborhoods. He fails to men-
tion the developer (Legacy) touted
SCTV as Luxury Housing with units
as high as $3,800 per month with no
below-market rate units. Legacy has
asked the city to waive the affordable
housing impact fee of $8.5 million
claiming it is unconstitutional and
even threatened to sue the city. His
concern for our children, lower
skilled workers or pensioners hav-
ing affordable housing will not be
met by this development.
Mr. Phillips promotes even more
affordable housing by removing all
the homes and parts of Laureola Park
along Holly for large multi-family
housing set far back from a wider
Holly sitting on consolidated lots
with garages that face the back side
streets, looking like the mansions
on University Avenue in Palo Alto.
Im assuming by eminent domain?
As a former member of the Planning
Commission, Mr. Phillips lack of
understanding and grasp of the facts
regarding this development comes as
a surprise and begs the question of
how his statements could be so off
track.

PG&E and the
PUC exposed
By Jerry Hill
F
acing a $2.25 billion penalty for safety lapses
that led to the fatal 2010 gas pipeline explosion
in San Bruno, Pacific Gas and Electric Co. is
raising the specter of bankruptcy in an effort to scare
state regulators into cutting the utility a break.
In its original case before the
California Public Utilities
Commission, PG&Es witness said
that it could absorb that level of fine.
Now PG&Es CEO warns that it may
not be able to sell enough shares to
come up with the penalty money.
Why the 180-degree change in strat-
egy? PG&E realizes that its cronies at
the CPUC are running out of scenarios
in which they can save both PG&E and their own credi-
bility.
Despite the CPUC presidents and his lieutenants blus-
ter that theyre prepared to throw the book at PG&E,
the commission is doing everything it can to give PG&E
a soft landing.
Last October, CPUC leadership cajoled its safety divi-
sion whose job was to prosecute PG&E into asking
that the utility not answer to cross-examination and
instead move into closed-door settlement negotiations.
When negotiations collapsed, the CPUC Safety
Division, the city of San Bruno and other parties pro-
posed fines of roughly $2.25 billion. The CPUC leaders
engaged in a media blitz, descending on editorial boards
across the state, taking credit for such a stiff sanction. A
month later, however, all the safety divisions lawyers
were taken off the case for objecting to PUC leaderships
clarification PG&E would be able to take credit for
all past and future safety-related expenses, so its pro-
posed fine in fact would be no fine at all.
Lets not forget what the National Transportation
Safety Board said about PG&E after investigating the
San Bruno disaster. The NTSB called PG&E a company
that exploited weaknesses in a lax system of oversight
... to the detriment of public safety. The problem was
compounded over the years by a litany of failures
including poor recordkeeping, inadequate inspection
programs, the NTSB also said.
The CPUCs disingenuous attempts to look tough have
been exposed, and it cant let PG&E off the hook and
appear honest. Now the utility is running to Wall Street
to pressure the CPUC to have mercy.
PG&E is even having community organizations it
donates to write guest perspectives in this paper to per-
petuate the bankruptcy scare tactics in an effort to get a
reduced fine from the PUC. PG&E also invoked the threat
of bankruptcy to kill legislation I authored to make
PG&E profits depend on safety performance.
The irony is that a majority of the penalties proposed
against PG&E are to offset rate increases for testing and
replacement programs that you are paying for increas-
es that wouldnt be necessary had PG&E appropriately
maintained its pipelines over the years.
The reason that we do not have a settlement yet regard-
ing the 2010 explosion that killed eight people, and the
reason that the CPUCs Safety Division and other parties
have proposed such a large fine, is PG&Es unwilling-
ness to admit its shortcomings and own up to the disas-
ter. Under cross-examination before the CPUC, PG&Es
paid witness had the audacity to testify that he believed
the utilitys safety programs were effective and that the
NTSB got it wrong.
The city of San Bruno, the safety division and ratepay-
er advocates are doing exactly what they should be
doing: advocating a stiff penalty for an unrepentant
company.
Weve been paying our monthly utility bills all along
expecting PG&E to properly maintain its gas pipelines.
Astrong fine ensures that shareholders pay for improve-
ments that have been neglected in favor of profits. This
is the only way we can teach PG&E a lesson so it wont
repeat these mistakes in the future.

NEW YORK Concerns about the
strength of the economy and the
potential for a budget fight in
Washington pushed down the stock
market Monday.
The Dow Jones industrial average
and the Standard & Poors 500 index
fell for a third straight day.
Investors initially cheered the
Federal Reserves decision last
Wednesday to keep its huge stimulus
program in place. But theyve since
focused on the central banks gloomi-
er outlook for growth.
William Dudley, the President of the
Feds New York Branch said Monday
that while the economy was improv-
ing, the headwinds created by the
financial crisis were only easing
slowly.
At first blush (the stimulus) looks
positive, said Kate Warne, an invest-
ment strategist at Edward Jones, a
financial advisor. But at second
blush, it says conditions werent as
strong as we were previously think-
ing. Markets are now responding to
that.
The Dow jumped 147 points last
Wednesday to close at an all-time
high. But the gain from that rally has
been erased.
On Monday, the S&P 500 index
dropped 8.07 points, or 0.5 percent,
to close at 1,701.84. The index was
fractionally lower than its level
before the Feds decision last
Wednesday.
The Dow fell 49.71 points, or 0.3
percent, to 15,401.38 The Nasdaq
composite fell 9.44 points, or 0.3
percent, to 3,765.29.
Financial stocks fell the most
among the 10 industrial groups in the
S&P 500 index. Investors sold finan-
cial stocks on concerns that their
earnings would be hurt by lower trad-
ing volumes of bonds and foreign cur-
rencies.
Citigroup fell $1.64, or 3 percent,
to $49.57 after the Financial Times
reported that the bank had suffered a
significant decline in trading rev-
enues that would crimp its earnings.
Goldman Sachs, which began trad-
ing on the Dow Monday, also fell.
The stock slipped $4.50, or 3 per-
cent, to $165.20.
Utilities were the best performing
industry group in the S&P 500 index,
as investors sought less risky places
to put their money.
The threat of a looming political
showdown over the budget also
weighed on investors.
The U.S. House of Representatives
voted to defund President Barack
Obamas health care law on Friday, a
gesture that reminded Wall Street that
the Republican-led House and the
Democratic-controlled Senate are
poised for a showdown over spend-
i ng.
The debt ceiling must be raised by
Oct. 1 to avoid a government shut-
down, and a potential default on pay-
ments, including debt, later in the
month.
There seems to be a higher proba-
bility there will be more of a battle
over that, said Scott Wren a senior
equity strategist at Wells Fargo
Advisors. That could inject some
volatility into the market.
Apple rose the most in the S&P 500
after the company said shopers
snapped up 9 million of its newest
iPhones following a rollout of the
devices on Friday. The companys
stock climbed $23.23, or 5 percent,
to $490.60.
Stocks fall on concern about economy

second blush, it says conditions werent as strong as we were
previously thinking. Markets are now responding to that.

Former Qualcomm exec
charged with insider trading
SAN DIEGO Aformer senior executive at Qualcomm
Inc. made nearly $250,000 in illegal prots from using
inside information to buy stock in the wireless technolo-
gy company and an acquisition target before major public
announcements, according to an indictment that was
unsealed Monday.
Jing Wang, former president of Qualcomm global busi-
ness operations and an executive vice president, was
charged with insider trading, money laundering, conspir-
acy, obstruction of ofcial proceedings and aggravated
identity theft. He voluntarily surrendered at FBI ofces
Monday.
Wang, 51, is accused of buying shares in three illegal
trades twice in Qualcomm and once in an acquisition
target from 2010 to 2012 through an account in the
British Virgin Islands. Also charged were his brother,
Bing Wang, 53, who lives in China, and Gary Yin, 54, a
former Merrill Lynch stockbroker in San Diego.
Qualcomm, based in San Diego, placed Yang on admin-
istrative leave in May 2012 and launched an internal
investigation of potential violations of the Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act, according to the indictment.
KaloBios Pharma plans $30M stock offering
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO KaloBios Pharmaceuticals
said Monday that it plans to sell $30 million in stock to
fund drug development and cover other expenses.
The company said it will use the proceeds of the offering
to fund development and clinical testing of its drugs,
which include treatments for severe asthma and a preven-
tive treatment for pneumonia. KaloBios didnt disclose a
price for the offering.
The underwriters of the offering will have the option to
buy another $4.5 million in stock. The totals do not
include discounts or underwriting expenses.
Shares of KaloBios Pharmaceuticals Inc. rose 14 cents,
or 2.7 percent, to $5.28 in morning trading Monday. The
company went public in February with an IPO that priced
at $8 per share, and the stock has lost 34 percent of its
value since then.

SAN FRANCISCO Gadget lovers
still cant resist the iPhones seductive
call, even amid a bevy of enticing
lower-priced alternatives that offer sim-
ilar features.
In a Monday announcement, Apple
Inc. said it sold 9 million units of its
top-of-the-line iPhone 5S and less-
expensive iPhone 5C during their rst
three days on sale. That trounced the
performance of last years model, the
iPhone 5, which sold 5 million units in
its opening weekend.
The initial sales gures for Apples
latest iPhone models provided the latest
testament to the products enduring
appeal more than six years after the
debut of the rst iPhone triggered a
mobile computing revolution.
The iPhone 5S and 5Cs quick start
also surpassed analyst forecasts that
predicted Apple would sell somewhere
from 6 million to 8 million models dur-
ing the rst weekend.
The demand for the new iPhones has
been incredible, Apple CEO Tim Cook
crowed in a statement. As part of the
companys effort to drum up interest in
its most protable product, Cook made
an early-morning appearance at an
Apple store in Palo Alto on Friday when
the new iPhones rst went on sale.
Mondays positive news helped gen-
erate more interest in Apples stock. The
shares gained $23.23, or 5 percent, to
close at $490.64.
Despite that rally, Apples stock price
remains slightly below where it stood
before the Cupertino companys Sept.
10 unveiling of its latest iPhones.
The downturn reects concerns that
the new phones wont be enough to
reverse a slowdown in Apples revenue
growth that has been brought on by
tougher competition from Samsung
Electronics and others. Apples rivals
have been gaining market share by sell-
ing less expensive phones running on
Google Inc.s free Android software.
Those nagging worries are the main rea-
son that Apples market value has
sagged by about 30 percent, or $200
billion, since last years release of the
iPhone 5.
Part of this weekends higher iPhone
sales volume stemmed from Apples
decision to make the latest models
available on a broader scale than in past
years.

TORONTO BlackBerrys largest
shareholder has reached a tentative
agreement to pay $4.7 billion for the
troubled smartphone maker, even as
many investors fret about its potential
demise.
BlackBerry Ltd. said Monday that
Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd. has
signed a letter of intent to buy the
company for $9 per share in cash and
take it private. The tentative deal
comes just days after the Canadian
company announced plans to lay off
40 percent of its global workforce.
The offer price is below what the com-
pany had been trading at before the
layoff announcement.
Analysts say that although
BlackBerrys hardware business is not
worth anything, the company still
owns valuable patents. Patents on
wireless technologies have exploded
in value in recent years, as makers of
the iPhone and various Android
devices sue each other. Having a
strong portfolio of patents allows
phone makers to defend themselves
and work out deals.
BlackBerry is also strong in having
total cash and investments of about
$2.6 billion, with no debt.
The BlackBerry deal follows a $7.2
billion offer that Microsoft Corp.
made this month for the phones and
services business of another troubled
phone maker, Nokia Corp. Last year,
Google Inc. paid $12.4 billion for
another fallen pioneer, Motorola
Mobility, mostly for its patents.

ALBANY, N.Y Aperfect hotel? An
amazing restaurant? Teeth whitener
that leads to romance?
Such things may only truly exist in
online reviews, and New Yorks attor-
ney general says many of them are
fakes, just as more consumers search-
ing for guidance are starting to bite.
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman
is trying to dismantle what he calls a
system of creating false online
reviews for products and services. On
Monday he announced that he has set-
tled cases with 19 companies that
included $350,000 in penalties. The
fake plaudits are sometimes called
astroturng, a reference to the syn-
thetic grass used on sports elds.
Consumers rely on reviews from
their peers to make daily purchasing
decisions on anything from food and
clothing to recreation and sightsee-
ing, Schneiderman said. This inves-
tigation into large-scale, intentional
deceit across the Internet tells us that
we should approach online reviews
with caution.
He said that by 2014, one researcher
estimates 10 percent to 15 percent of
social media reviews will be fake.
The rise in the phony review busi-
ness comes as more people trust such
commentaries, even though they are
often posted anonymously.
Schneiderman said Harvard Business
School found that increasing a restau-
rants review score by one star on
Yelp.com could boost business up to 8
percent. Cornell researchers found an
extra star on Travelocity or
TripAdvisor could translate into an 11
percent increase in a room rate.

Last years Sacred Heart Prep girls vol-
leyball team was special in more ways than
one. Up and down the roster, the Gators
boasted senior leadership. So it came as no
surprise when SHP took the Central Coast
Section title, the NorCal championship and
nished second in California overall.
But this season, with those eight seniors
gone, its been an unaccustomed rough start
for the girls off of Valparaiso in Atherton.
We havent played Gator volleyball,
said head coach Damien Hardy. And thats
one of the expectations we always have:
come out and play Gator volleyball and get
the job done. And weve struggled with that
so far. I think a big part of that is attributed
to losing eight seniors. So we really dont
have any leaders out there.
Absent as a leader has been through the
rst 13 matches of the season, its looking
more and more like that search is over.
Enter Victoria Garrick, a major contribu-
tor to last seasons team and a player who,
as only a sophomore, did not shy away from
the big moments.
Natually, as one of the more gifted players
at SHP, the natural progression of things
suggests shed slip into the leadership role
she was even voted as one of this sea-
sons captains. But, through the rst couple
of matches, it hadnt quite sunk in yet for
the powerful outside hitter.
All of our teammates are looking to her
to be that leader, Hardy said. Right now,
Im not sure if shes ready for it. But after
this weekend, she really took steps toward
being that. And thats something we
absolutely need.
Garrick has lled the stat sheet just ne.

here were two reasons the Peninsula
Athletic League, as we know it, was
created. One, to equalize the com-
petitiveness between teams and two, to
help the top teams earn favorable consider-
ation come playoff time.
While many people have focused on the
latter, its really the former that benet s
teams the most. The
objective was to pre-
vent blowout wins
for the obviously
superior teams. By
grouping lesser
teams in the Ocean
Division, the hope
was these squads
could enjoy the com-
petitive nature of
sports and at the
same time, have a
chance to win.
While most coach-
es and teams strives
to be promoted to the Bay Division, at
least one coach is enjoying the competi-
tion in the Ocean Division.

SAN FRANCISCO This Americas Cup
would be tied at 8 if defending champion
Oracle Team USA hadnt been hit with the
harshest penalties in the regattas 162-year
history.
No worries, says Australian-born skipper,
Jimmy Spithill. Hes a boxer as well as a
sailor, and his spark and motivation has
helped spur Oracles remarkable comeback
from what seemed like certain defeat a week
ago.
Spithill put his bows down, accelerated
his 72-foot catamaran off the starting line
and pulled clear of Emirates Team New
Zealand on Monday to claim a fth straight
victory and stay alive in the longest
Americas Cup in history.

SANTA CLARA The San Francisco
49ers are prepared to go forward without
star linebacker Aldon Smith for as long as
it takes for him to get clean, healthy and
improve his life.
Smith was placed on the reserve non-
football injury list Monday as he enters
rehab for substance abuse and begins what
team CEO Jed York has termed an inde-
nite absence.
I am taking a leave of absence to
address my health, Smith said through
the 49ers. I am sorry that I have affected
my team, my family and the organization.
I will do everything in my power to handle
this situation the best way possible. I
appreciate the support of the 49ers and our
fans.
The NFL said there is no minimum num-
ber of games Smith must miss on the
reserve non-football injury list, and he
can return when ready.
On whether he expects Smith to return
this season, coach Jim
Harbaugh said only,
theres a process,
were going to respect
that process.
Smith played Sunday
and had five tackles
just two days after he
was arrested and jailed
Friday morning on
suspicion of DUI and
marijuana possession. Smith apologized
after the 27-7 home loss to the Colts, and
now his team moves forward without him
heading to St. Louis on Thursday.
Were very supportive of Aldon as we
are of all of our players, all of our coach-
es, our personnel. Always support it in
house, Harbaugh said. Weve hashed
through it, now were taking steps and
Aldons taking steps. We support him in
that.
San Francisco didnt immediately
announce a corresponding roster move.
We have a pretty good idea what were
going to do and well make that announce-
ment, Harbaugh said.
Smith had previously been arrested on
suspicion of DUI in January 2012 in
Miami shortly after the 49ers lost in the
NFC championship game. He is expected
to remain in the Bay Area for treatment.
He could face a suspension from the NFL
either later this season or next season,
and it is likely given he has had more than
one infraction. The NFL would let the

Manning too much for Raiders
REUTERS
Peyton Manning throws a pass in Denvers Monday Night win over the Oakland Raiders.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER Peyton Manning slapped his
hands together ve, six, seven times and
barked out the signals. Afew seconds later,
Wes Welker was all alone, cradling the quar-
terbacks latest touchdown pass.
All part of another impeccably crafted
victory for Manning and the Denver
Broncos, who rolled over the Oakland
Raiders 37-21 Monday night. Denvers 127
points lead the league and are 31 more than
second-place Green Bay.
This was Denvers 14th-straight regular-
season win, tying the franchise record set in
1998 when the Broncos won their second
Super Bowl.
Manning went 32 for 37 for 374 yards and
set a few more records while outwitting the
overmatched Raiders (1-2).
You see flashes of good things,
Manning said. When were executing and
not making mistakes, we can go the dis-
tance. We can go 80 yards, take advantage of
a short eld.
Mannings 12 touchdown passes are one
more than Tom Bradys old record for the
rst three games, set in 2011. Manning still
has yet to throw an interception, which
matches a record held by Michael Vick, who
also threw 12 touchdowns before his rst
pick in 2010.
Hes started where he left off last year and
improved on that, Broncos coach John
Fox said. Weve brought in some guys who
have helped us. Hes an incredible player as
far as the way he prepares and communicates
things to his teammates.
As much as the numbers in the latest win,
it was Mannings deciphering of the
Oakland defense that made jaws drop in this
one.
His rst touchdown, a 2-yard pass to Eric
Decker, came after a subtle play action fake
that froze the defense and left Decker uncov-
ered in the back of the end zone.

ANAHEIM Jed Lowrie hit a three-run
homer, Brandon Moss added a two-run shot
and the Oakland Athletics kept rolling
toward the postseason with their fifth
straight victory, 10-5 over the Los Angeles
Angels on Monday night.
Tommy Milone pitched into the sixth
inning and Seth Smith had an early RBI dou-
ble for the AL West champions, who have
won 11 of 13.
Seven As drove in a run at the Big A as
Oakland (94-63) moved to a season-high 31
games over .500 with the majors second-
best record, just behind Boston (95-62).
Howie Kendrick homered and hit a three-
run double for the Angels, who have lost
two straight after winning 21 of 28. They
hadnt lost by more than three runs since
Sept. 3.
The As have scored 49 runs in their last
ve games, and the offensive barrage didnt
let up after the club clinched its second con-
secutive division title Sunday. Lowrie hit
his 15th homer in the third inning in
Anaheim, and Moss followed with his 28th
in the fth.
Milone (12-9) struck out eight while giv-
ing up ve hits and two earned runs in his
second start since Aug. 27. He pitched two
innings of relief last Friday, but got this
spot start in A.J. Grifns place.
Garrett Richards (7-7) gave up eight hits
and seven runs while failing to get out of the
fth inning in his worst start since joining
the Angels rotation full-time in late July.
Oakland and Los Angeles have been the
majors two best teams since Aug. 23, but
the As are playoff-bound while the Angels
are nished Sunday because Oakland didnt
waste the seasons rst 4 1/2 months.
The Angels, with a payroll roughly twice
the size of Oaklands, will nish in third
place in the AL West for the third time in
four years after winning ve of the previous
six division titles.
ve-leg course on San Francisco Bay for a
33-second victory.
Although the teams are tied on the water,
the Kiwis lead 8-6 because Oracle was
docked two points and wing sail trimmer
Dirk de Ridder was tossed from the regatta
after it was discovered that the syndicate
illegally modified boats during warmup
races called the Americas Cup World Series.
That shrinking lead no doubt has all of
New Zealand on edge. The Kiwis have been
on match point since Wednesday, only to
watch Spithill and Oracles improved 72-
foot catamaran sail ahead in a determined
attempt to keep the oldest trophy in inter-
national sports.
Oracle Team USA, owned by software
tycoon Larry Ellison, needs three more wins
to keep the Auld Mug.
Because Race 16 was delayed a half-hour
due to light wind, Race 17 was postponed
until Tuesday. Race 18, if necessary, also is
scheduled for Tuesday.
On Sept. 12, with Oracle trailing 6 to
minus-1, Spithill raised eyebrows when he
said, I think the question is, imagine if
these guys lost from here, what an upset
that would be. Theyve almost got it in the
bag. Thats my motivation.
Now Spithill is attempting to pull off one
of the greatest comebacks in sports history.
His ve-race run has matched the longest
winning streak in Americas Cup match his-
tory.
Rebounding from the penalties is not
frustrating; its actually motivating, to be
honest, Spithill said Monday. The thing
Ive found is when its very difcult and very
challenging, thats when its the most
rewarding. Were not going to make excus-
es. Were going to work hard. We feel like
weve made great progress with the perform-
ance of the boat. I think that was evident
today in lighter air.

While football certainly generated its fair

trumps any gridiron feat.
Aman Sangha of San Mateo golf and the
reigning Daily Journal Female Golfer of the
Year, continues to add to her burgeoning
high school career. Last week, the sopho-
more recorded her rst hole in one.
Using a six iron, she aced the 133-yard,
No. 5 hole at Palo Alto Muni on her way to
a 1-under 33 as the Bearcats beat Menlo-
Atherton in Peninsula Athletic League play.
The feat was veried by her playing part-
ners: teammate Lisa Sasaki and M-As
Ashley Utz and Naomi Lee.
It is the rst hole in one by a PAL player
in at least a decade.
In some more golf news, despite some
strong winds at the Palo Alto Muni, Lee
returned to the scene and collected a 41 for
M-Ato lead the Bears to a victory. Her team-
mate Abigail Pederson was one stroke
behind in what was a three-way win for
Menlo-Atherton.
Back on the football eld, no player was
deadlier than Menlos Jack Heneghan. In
just 24 minutes of work against San Mateo
High School, the senior quarterback had an
afternoon most QBs can only dream of.
Heneghan passed for 383 yards (23 of 32
passing) and six touchdowns. By the time
the halftime horn went off, the Knights
were up 48-0 and Menlo had three receivers
with over a hundred yards.
Faavae Brown of Sequoia put on a bit of a
show himself. The sophomore quarterback
ran for four touchdowns and threw for a fth
in the Cherokees 44-26 win over Woodside
Friday night, rushing for a game-high 149
yards in the process.
In that loss to Sequoia, Josh Holman was
a force on both sides of the ball for the
Wildcats. Offensively, the senior caught
eight passes for 112 yards and a touchdown.
Defensively, he was in on nearly a dozen
tackles.
Acouple of teams had huge wins coming
off of bye weeks. Burlingame traveled to
Gunderson and, behind Manese Palus three
touchdowns, won going away 42-12. Palu
rushed for 74 yards and caught two balls for
80 more. His teammate Keoni Keahi had 81
yards rushing and a touchdown.
Serra put on an offensive clinic over in
Alameda. The Padres accounted for 618 of
total offense. Kelepi Lataimua ran the ball
eight times and amassed 126 yards on the
ground. He also caught two passes for 18.
And after sitting out the De La Salle game,
Hamilton Anoai made his much anticipated
season debut and didnt disappoint. Anoai
caught six passes for 106 yards and a touch-
down.
The Terra Nova offense is also on re.
Pulling the trigger there is Anthony
Gordon, who cooled off a bit. The junior
caller completed 76 percent of his passes
for 204 yards and three touchdowns in a
blowout win over Pioneer. Carrying the
load in the win though was John Wallace.
The running back had his best game of the
young year going for 189 yards on 14 car-
ries. He found the end zone three times.
Jaylend Jones also scored three times in
that win.
Bay Division rival Sacred Heart Prep was
nally scored upon this year. But the 10
Salinas points werent enough because of
Ricky Grau and his two touchdown catches.
SHP won 25-10.
Over on the volleyball hard oor, Victoria
Garrick helped the Gators to a 4-1 record at
the Harbor tournament over the weekend. In
ve matches she had 66 kills and 54 digs,
earning all-tournament honors in the
process.
At the same tournament, Carlmont suf-
fered a disappointing quarternal loss but
not before they put up some solid numbers.
Ella McDonough led the Scots in kills with
22. Amelia Tapou was all over the stat
sheet. In the last two games, Tapou went off
for 45 assists, nine kills, 12 digs, four aces
and two blocks. Tapous effort came in sup-
port of a Thursday win against SHP when
she had 30 assists, ve kills, ve digs, four
aces and two blocks.
Morgan Dressel and Lida Vandermeer of
Menlo School volleyball were on re as
well. The tandem led the Knights to the title
of their own tournament, the Chris Chandler
Invitational. Dressel led the Knights with
47 kills, while Vandermeer added 44.
Notre Dame-Belmonts Katie Smoot also
lit up the stat sheet. In two games, Smoot
nished with 29 kills. Katarina Warburton
was huge on defense with 23 digs.
In boys water polo, Nelson Perla-Wardof
of SHP had a big weekend for the Gators at
the Santa Barbara tournament, scoring 13
goals as SHP compiled a record of 3-1 in
tournament play.
Perla-Wards biggest output came during a
10-7 win over Dana Hills when he scored
ve goals.
John Wilson was the man for Menlo
School over the weekend. The rst-year var-
sity starter helped the Knights reach the
championship game of their own Scott
Roche Invitational. In four matches,
Wilson recorded 39 saves. He made 12 saves
in a 13-6 win over La Jolla in the seminals
and nished with 17 in the title game, a 11-
10 loss to North Coast Section powerhouse
San Ramon Valley.
Woodside water polo is fresh off a 3-0
stretch of play. Mitchell Martin led the
Wildcats in a 3-0 week. He scored 12 goals.
Max Untrecht scored six. Leo Franco added
ve.
On the girls side of the pool, Woodside
had a quartet of hat tricks in a win over Terra
Nova. Taira Hovden, Terez Touhey, Mina
Sealund and Susie Ortiz took part in that hat
trick party.
And nally over in cross country, there
was a erce battle in Half Moon Bay last
week. The Lady Cougars, hosting their PAL
meet, went toe to toe with Menlo-Atherton.
All 10 scorers for each team nished in the
top 10. But when the dust settled, it was
Madeleine Baier and her rst place nish for
M-Athat fueled a 24-31 win.
Over on the boys side, Carlmont domi-
nated. All of their scoring runners nished
in the top eight with Michael Bereket lead-
ing the charge in second place.
Half Moon Bays Logan Marshall defend-
ed his home turf with a rst-place nish.
Sanghas hole in one top feat in Honor Roll
legal process play itself out rst.
Harbaugh said Dan Skuta, Ahmad Brooks
and Corey Lemonier will help ll the void
left by Smith, who had a franchise-best 19
1/2 sacks last season. Demarcus Dobbs,
who was suspended for Week 1 for his own
arrest on suspicion of DUI and marijuana
possession from last season, also could be
in the mix for some packages.
I have confidence in those guys and
know theyll do a good job, Harbaugh said.
Go with the guys weve got.
Smith, selected seventh overall in the
2011 draft out of Missouri, turns 24 on
Wednesday.
Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said Smith
never had any problems with that, zero, at
school. He said he texted Smith earlier
Monday and thought the situation could be
turned into something real positive.
You look at any player whos 22-23
years old and has tremendous success, thats
difficult to handle, Pinkel said. You
become very, very vulnerable in many,
many ways and maybe ways you dont even
understand.
Harbaugh and general manager Trent
Baalke ultimately decided to let Smith play
before he entered rehab.
Aldon Smith is taking a leave of absence
to address a personal matter, Baalke said in
a statement. The 49ers organization both
respects and supports Aldons decision and
commends him for taking responsibility
for his actions. The long-term well-being of
our players is paramount and we will stand
by Aldon as he works toward addressing this
issue. Due to the private nature of the mat-
ter, we will have no further comment.
His 49ers teammates were trying their
best not to let the situation become a dis-
traction.

CUP
Gators, Garrick was a force at the Harbor
Tournament over the weekend. SHPwent 4-1
behind Garricks 61 kills and 54 digs. She
rightfully earned all-tournament honors in
the process.
So, as far as statistical effort is concerned,
Garrick is very deserving of the Daily
Journals Athlete of the Week honor.
But what Hardy, along with the rest of
Gator Nation, is hoping, is that the Harbor
Tournament gave birth to SHPs next great
leader.
Early on, she didnt know to [be the
leader], Hardy said. She knew that she was
going to be the leader but she didnt really
know all the intricate characteristics of
being a leader. She wasnt being all the
leader this team needs. Now, I think she
realizes how much of a load she needs to
carry and I think shes adjusting pretty well
to it.
Garricks new found cerebral approach is
nally meeting up with her physical gifts.
The biggest thing she brings for us is
passing, Hardy said. Shes getting a lot
better at passing and playing defense. Now,
if she can get even better and stay within our
system, well be ne. Defense is going to
win us championships. And shes a leader in
that sense. Offensively, shes a gifted ath-
lete and she just needs to understand were
going to feed her the ball when we can.
Shes trusting us a little more as a coaching
staff. Shes controlling the ball and hitting
it in the right spots.
And so, once those the mental and physi-
cal parts of Garricks game come together,
well, watch out West Bay Athletic League
(and the rest of CCS for that matter).
This is the type of tournament that is
great for her. Now, after the all-tournament,
she led our team in kills, she knows shes it.
We know shell get there. We hope she gets
there soon.

by
Adecade ago, the Mills girls tennis
teams was among the cream of the PAL
crop and a force in the Central Coast
Section playoffs. Over the last several
years, however, the program has progres-
sively slid down the Bay Division stand-
ings. Once a perennial CCS team, the
Vikings were struggling to be competitive
until they were nally voted down into the
Ocean Division this year for the rst time.
Knowing how competitive coach Scott
Selig is, I thought he would be seething at
the fact his team was no longer elite and
would do everything to return to the Bay
Division.
While Selig is a competitive guy, he also
knows what is best for his team. Turns out
hes enjoying his teams play in the
Ocean.
The Vikings are currently 3-0 in Ocean
Division play and on their way to repre-
senting the division in the PAL playoffs.
More importantly, Selig said he can once
again coach his players to beat their oppo-
nent, as opposed to just encouraging them
to play their best.
He said he can, once again, strategize
ways to have his team win the four points
necessary to win a team match and his
players are enjoying their shot at winning
matches, something that was not case for
the team over the last several seasons.
He also gets to put his vast knowledge of
the game to use, teaching his players how
to frame points, knowing they have a shot
to not just implement his coaching, but to
actually use those pointers to win matches.
While the Knights are no longer a PAL
power and a earning a trip to CCS will take
a miracle, Selig and his Vikings are just
happy to have a chance to be competitive
and have an opportunity to win some
matches.
For some coaches and players, that is
enough.
***
It wasnt too long ago that a rivalry
football game like the one between
Woodside and Sequoia Friday night would
have drawn a gaggle of reporters from
around the Peninsula. It was not uncom-
mon to see half a dozen reporters and at
least half as many photographers at a game
of that magnitude.
Thanks to consolidation and attrition in
the industry, there were just a pair of
reporters at Fridays 44-26 Sequoia win,
including myself.
Yet when I arrived and walked through
the gate to get to the sideline where I keep
game stats and take pictures, I was briey
detained by a Sequoia administrator who
asked if I had permission from the Sequoia
coach to be on the sideline. He said the
coach was trying to limit the amount of
non-essential personnel on the eld during
the game.
After explaining to him that I had been
covering the Sequoia team ever since coach
Rob Poulos arrived on the Peninsula sever-
al years ago, and had been covering the
team for the better part of the last decade, I
could tell his stance was softening.
The deciding comment was this, Heck,
he follows me on Twitter.
The fact that a working member of the
media almost was denied access, however,
rankled me a bit. Meanwhile, I got to the
sideline and there is at least one parent tak-
ing photos as well as a number of student
photographers shooting the entire game.
I dont blame coach Poulos or any other
coach for wanting to keep non-essential
people off the sideline. There has been a
proliferation of people not afliated with
the game on many sidelines around the
Peninsula. Instead of hassling me or any
member of the professional media, howev-
er, why not boot some of those others off
the sidelines if it really is an issue? I dont
begrudge parents and members of the stu-
dent media being out there, but when it
jeopardizes my access, something is
wrong.
Having the proper credentials, which I
do, should allow me access (within reason)
without explanation.

Bush says Obama
shouldnt be criticized for golf
ORLANDO Former President George W.
Bush says President Barack Obama should
not be criticized for the amount of golf he
plays.
In an excerpt from In Play with Jimmy
Roberts, airing Tuesday night on the Golf
Channel, Bush says he understands the pres-
sures of the White House and that playing
golf is a good outlet.
You know, I see our president criticized
for playing golf. I dont I think he ought
to play golf, Bush says in the interview.
Sharks F RafTorres
sidelined with knee injury
SAN JOSE The San Jose
Sharks will be without forward
Raf Torres for the start of the sea-
son because of an injured right
knee.
Torres was injured in a collision
with Anaheim forward Emerson
Etem on Friday night.
Torres and the Sharks will decide
in the next few days whether he
needs surgery. If he rehabs the
injury, he might miss only the
rst month. If he needs surgery, he
would likely be sidelined for three
to four months.
The Sharks were counting on
Torres to provide energy and phys-
ical play this year. His acquisition
late last season provided a needed
spark to the team before he was
suspended for the nal six playoff
games for an illegal hit on Los
Angeles forward Jarret Stoll.
The Sharks signed Torres to a
three-year, $6 million contract in
June.
Raiders activate Mady,
place Ausberry on IR
ALAMEDA The Oakland
Raiders have promoted guard
Lamar Mady from the practice
squad to the active roster and
placed tight end David Ausberry on
season-ending injured reserve.
General manager Reggie
McKenzie announced the moves
Monday before Oakland played at
Denver.
Ausberry was on target to be the
starter before he hurt his shoulder
in the teams second preseason
game. He was inactive for the rst
two regular season games before
the team decided to shut him down
for the season.
Mady joined Oakland as an
undrafted free agent in April after
playing two years at Youngstown
State. He was cut at the end of
training camp and placed on the
practice squad. He provides added
depth with starter Lucas Nix
slowed by an ankle injury.

WASHINGTON The White House is under
pressure to ramp up counterterrorism action
against al-Shabab in Somalia following the
al-Qaida-linked groups deadly attack on an
upscale Kenyan shopping mall that has killed
and injured dozens, including Americans.
Republican lawmakers Sunday said the
attack showed al-Qaida is growing in size and
strength, belying the Obama administrations
claims that it has grown weaker.
Theyre not on the decline, said Sen. Tom
Coburn of Oklahoma, the ranking Republican
on the Homeland Security Committee, on
CBS Face the Nation. Theyre on the rise,
as you can see from Nairobi.
Al-Shabab militants launched their assault
on Saturday, storming the mall with grenades
and gunre. Kenyan security forces launched
a major assault late Sunday on the mall,
where the militants were still holding an
unknown number of hostages, trying to end
the two-day standoff that had already killed at
least 68 people. The Kenya Defense Forces
said their troops had rescued most hostages
and taken control of most of the mall in
Nairobi.
State Department spokesman Marie Harf
said ve U.S. citizens were among the more
than 175 injured, but no Americans were
among those reported killed. Harf said U.S.
law enforcement, military and civilian per-
sonnel in Nairobi are providing advice and
assistance as requested by the Kenyan author-
ities.
U.S. counterterrorism ofcials throughout
the Obama administration have debated
whether to target the Somalia-based rebel
group more directly, especially after it merged
with al-Qaida in early 2012. But U.S. action
has been limited to the occasional drone
strike or raid when a particularly high-value
al-Qaida target comes into view, while relying
primarily on assisting Somali and African
peacekeeping forces to carry out the day-to-
day ght.

DAMASCUS, Syria President Bashar
Assad pledged in an interview broadcast
Monday to honor an agreement to surrender
Syrias stockpile of chemical weapons, but
he said that rebels might try to block inter-
national arms inspectors from doing their
work.
As battles continued across Syria, new
Associated Press video of an attack Sunday
night showed the
regimes helicopters
dropping barrel bombs
on opposition-held
areas, creating chaotic
scenes of destruction.
In a sign of worsening
infighting among the
rebels, a top al-Qaida
commander in Syria was
killed in an ambush by
rival, Western-backed group an assassi-
nation sure to raise tensions among fac-
tions seeking to topple the regime.
Assads comments came as world leaders
gathered in New York for the annual U.N.
General Assembly, where the use of chemi-
cal weapons in Syrias civil war was high
on the agenda.
The Syrian leader told Chinese state TV
that Damascus is dedicated to implementing
the agreement reached between Russia and
the U.S. to surrender its chemical weapons
to international control. Syrias stockpile,
he said, is in safe areas and locations and
under the full control of the Syrian Arab
Army.
Assad cautioned, however, that the rebels
might block inspectors from reaching some
of the locations, in order to frame the gov-
ernment.
Im referring to places where gunmen
exist. Those gunmen might want to stop the
experts arrival, Assad told CCTV in the
interview, which was shot Sunday in
Damascus and broadcast Monday.

WASHINGTON From mercury to pesti-
cides, Americans are exposed daily to envi-
ronmental chemicals that could harm repro-
ductive health, the nations largest groups
of obstetricians and fertility specialists
said Monday.
The report urges doctors to push for
stricter environmental policies to better
identify and reduce exposure to chemicals
that prove truly risky. But its likely to
scare pregnant women in the meantime.
Thats because during the rst prenatal
visit, the American College of
Obstetricians and Gynecologists wants doc-
tors to ask mothers-to-be about their expo-
sure to different chemicals. Theyre also
supposed to teach women how to avoid
some considered most worrisome during
pregnancy.
What were trying to get is the balance
between awareness and alarmist, said Dr.
Jeanne Conry, president of the American
College of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists.
Specialists with ACOG and the American
Society for Reproductive Medicine exam-
ined research about industrial chemicals and
pollutants that people can absorb from the
air, water, food and everyday products. Few
chemicals hit the market with good infor-
mation about safe levels something the
groups hope to change. But certain chemi-
cals are linked to infertility, miscarriages,
birth defects and other problems, the com-
mittee said.
Risks are greatest for women with high
on-the-job exposure. So doctors should ask
about workplaces during that rst prenatal
visit, the committee advised.
But the report also cited research sug-
gesting virtually every pregnant woman
is exposed to at least 43 different chemi-
cals. Its unclear how many matter, but
some can reach the fetus. For example,
mercury pollution builds up in certain
fish, and when eaten by a mother-to-be,
can damage her unborn babys develop-
ing brain. Prenatal exposure to certain
pesticides can increase the risk of child-
hood cancer, the report found.
Poor and minority populations are dis-
proportionately exposed to various pollu-
tants, urging doctors to be aware of con-
cerns unique to where they live, the com-
mittee said.
Its not just about pregnancy. High
enough pesticide exposure in adult men has
been linked to sterility and prostate cancer,
the report noted.
But the report also raises some controver-
sial examples. For example, most
Americans have traces of BPA, or bisphe-
nol-A, in their urine because its so widely
used in plastics, consumer goods and to line
metal food cans to prevent contamination
and spoiling. Makers of baby bottles and
sippy cups stopped using BPAseveral years
ago because of consumer concern that it
might harm young childrens development,
and the Food and Drug Administration wont
let it return to those baby products. But the
FDAhas maintained that BPAs use in other
food containers is safe.
For now, Conry said the consumer advice
is common sense: Choose fresh fruit and
vegetables over processed foods when pos-
sible and thoroughly wash produce.
Pregnant women and young children should
eat certain seafood to get the nutritional
benefits without the mercury risk. That
means avoiding shark, swordfish, king
mackerel and tilesh. Low-mercury exam-
ples are shrimp, canned light tuna, salmon
and catfish. (The FDA advises pregnant
women to eat no more than 6 ounces a week
of white or albacore tuna, which has more
mercury than the canned light kind.)
Theres only so much people can do as
individuals and families to limit chemical
exposures, said University of Washington
public health dean Dr. Howard Frumkin, an
environmental health specialist not
involved in the report. But he called the
statement a very balanced, reasonable and
evidence-based contribution.
The industrys American Chemistry
Council said current environmental regula-
tions offer enough consumer protection,
and that the new report will create confu-
sion and alarm among expectant mothers
and distract them from proven steps for a
healthy pregnancy.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Food and Drug
Administration ofcials say they will begin
regulating a new wave of applications and
gadgets that work with smartphones to take
medical readings and help users monitor
their health.
With the rise of the iPhone, Android and
other mobile devices has come a ood of
applications designed to help people stay
healthy. Industry analysts estimate there are
already more than 17,000 medical applica-
tions available, ranging from calorie coun-
ters to high-tech heart monitors.
The FDAsaid Monday that the vast major-
ity of these health care apps dont pose
much of a risk to consumers if they mal-
function, and will not be federally regulat-
ed. Instead, the agency will focus on a hand-
ful of apps that turn smartphones into
devices, like a heart monitor, or medical
attachments that plug into smartphones,
like arm cuffs that measure blood pressure.
Mobile apps have the potential to trans-
form health care by allowing doctors to
diagnose patients with potentially life-
threatening conditions outside of tradition-
al health care settings, help consumers
manage their own health and wellness, and
also gain access to useful information
whenever and wherever they need it, said
Dr. Jeffrey Shuren, director of the FDAs
medical device center.
Most health-related apps are free and per-
form simple functions, like helping users
keep track of their meals or calories burned
exercising. But a growing number of com-
panies are developing more complex apps
and attachments that perform tests and func-
tions once reserved for the doctors ofce.
These tools allow users to take photos of
their eardrums, monitor irregular heartbeats
and even measure lung function. Many of
these tools can cost $100 or more. Sales
data is not widely reported so its not yet

clear whether patients and their doc-
tors are embracing them.
FDAofcials said Monday they have
already approved 75 of these mobile
medical applications, including 25 in
the last year. Agency ofcials estimate
that 500 million smartphone users
worldwide will use some type of health
app by 2015.
Last year the FDA approved the sale
of a $199 heart monitor from
AliveCor. The attachment snaps on
like a smartphone case with finger
electrodes that measure the users
heartbeat. Hold the device for 30 sec-
onds and it delivers an approximate
EKG reading, an essential medical test
that checks for problems with the
hearts electrical activity. Patients can
email the reading to their doctor for
analysis.
Other applications in development
would allow patients with asthma to
measure their lung function by blow-
ing on their phone, rather than using
special machines usually found in doc-
tors ofces.

Obese cancer patients
oftenundertreated on
chemotherapy doses
By Marilynn Marchione
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Obese people are less likely to survive cancer, and one
reason may be a surprising inequality: The overweight are
undertreated.
Doctors often short them on chemotherapy by not basing
the dose on size, as they should. They use ideal weight or
cap the dose out of fear about how much treatment an obese
patient can bear. Yet research shows that bigger people han-
dle chemo better than smaller people do.
Even a little less chemo can mean worse odds of survival,
and studies suggest that as many as 40 percent of obese can-
cer patients have been getting less than 85 percent of the
right dose for their size.
Now, the largest organization of doctors who treat cancer,
the American Society of Clinical Oncology, aims to change
that. The group has adopted guidelines urging full, weight-
based doses for the obese.
Dont call it supersizing; its right-sizing cancer care,
said Dr. Gary Lyman, a Duke University oncologist who led
the panel that wrote the advice.
Theres little doubt that some degree of undertreatment is
contributing to the higher mortality and recurrence rates in
obese patients, he said.
The Food and Drug Administrations cancer drug chief, Dr.
Richard Pazdur, agrees.
By minimizing the dose, or capping the dose, we have
been undertreating patients, he said.
The dosing issue applies to all types of cancer treated with
chemo breast, colon, lung, ovarian and even blood dis-
eases such as leukemia.
It affects a lot of people. Big isnt healthy but its the new
normal 60 percent of Americans are overweight and
more than one-third of them are obese.
Giving too little chemo could make it as if they didnt
even get treated at all ... so they go through the whole
ordeal with no benet, in the extreme case , said Dr.
Jennifer Griggs, a University of Michigan breast cancer
specialist who also worked on the guidelines.
So why do doctors limit dose?
Sometimes its for good reason the patient has dia-
betes, heart problems or other illnesses that interfere with
how much chemo they can stand. Usually, though, its
because doctors are afraid to follow a standard weight-based
formula because the dose seems so huge and theyre afraid of
harming the heart and blood system, Lyman said.
Youre three times the size of the average person, but it
doesnt mean your heart is, Griggs explained.
Yet studies show that heavier patients are less likely to
develop dangerous, low blood counts from cancer treatment,
and that they clear chemo drugs more quickly from the body
than thinner people do.
Apaper Lyman published in the journal Nature in August
said that a 20 percent reduction in chemo doses lowered
remission and cure rates by half in animal experiments and
helped the tumors develop resistance to the drugs.
the party was on.
Both music and quilts have become a
big part of the events as Green is a pro-
lic musician and Divver a master quil-
ter.
Leading up to the rst event in 2003,
however, Green wasnt sure who would
actually show up.
A week before the event we had
only sold about 20 tickets, he told the
Daily Journal.
That last week they sold 95 tickets
and the rst C.R.U.S.H. MS event at
the San Mateo Garden Center raised
about $4,000 for the Northern
California Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Immediately after the first party,
Green, Divver and friends figured
C.R.U.S.H. could be an annual event.
But Green wasnt interested in just
spotlighting multiple sclerosis and
having all the attention be on him. He
tries not to think about MS.
I give it the minimum amount of
attention it deserves, he said. I dont
dwell on the disease.
Since the rst event, C.R.U.S.H. has
gone on to support nonprots such as
City of Hope, Shelter Network, Wings
Learning Center for people with
autism, AIDS Community Research
Consortium and DonorsChoose.org,
which provides resources for teachers
and classrooms.
Last year, the group raised more than
$14,000 to care for people with
Alzheimers disease, with local tech
giant VMware matching $3,000. The
ticket sales, however, only barely
cover the cost of the dinner and venue,
which has been held at Domenico
Winery in San Carlos in recent years.
Most of the money raised comes from
a rafe and silent auction.
This weekend, the group will put
together its 10th event, C.R.U.S.H.
MS2.
Things have changed a bit, though,
from then until now.
Since the rst event in 2003, Green
and Divver got married; Divver worked
here at the Daily Journal for more than
six years before just retiring; and the
two have built up the C.R.U.S.H. com-
munity from just a handful in the
beginning to dozens now.
Its a lot of work, Divver said.
But it shows you what a group of
friends can do.
Much of the groups support comes
from businesses on B Street in down-
town San Mateo since Green and some
of the original members used to gather
regularly at ONeills Irish Pub.
Eoin ONeill, in fact, donated all the
beer and liquor for the rst event.
Now, Jeffreys Hamburgers, Talbots
Toys, 31st Union, Vault 164 and oth-
ers downtown all donate free dinners or
other goods to be rafed at the party
and it is a party.
Divver also makes a quilt each year
to commemorate the event that all
attendees sign.
The foundation of the group is to
have fun, fundraise and build communi-
t y, said Green, who is now 56.
He imagines C.R.U.S.H. can live on
forever as his son Sam has told him he
intends to carry on the legacy.
With less than a week to go, this
years party is nearly sold out but there
are still a limited number of tickets
available.

how PHS and Pets Unlimited can better
work together.
Merger talks, however, are in the
earliest stages of discussion, he said.
Pets Unlimited has a large veterinary
clinic that serves San Francisco resi-
dents while the clinic at PHS is much
smaller, he said.
PHS already works with San
Francisco Animal Care and Control to
provide a mobile spay and neuter clin-
ic in the city a few times a month after
a major donor requested it, Delucchi
said.
PHS is also in talks with ofcials at
the Monterey Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to
develop public service announcements
that will serve both agencies while
also saving on cost, he said.
In San Francisco, Pets Unlimited is
known for its charitable work by pro-
viding free veterinary care for animals
belonging to the homeless and pro-
vides annual examinations and vacci-
nations to the companion animals of
Pets Are Wonderful Support clients.
PAWS is a volunteer-driven group
that provides comprehensive care of
companion animals for low-income
seniors and people with HIV, AIDS or
other disabling illnesses.
They do lots of charitable work. Its
what we like about them, Delucchi
said about Pets Unlimited.

By Lauran Neergaard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON David Hilfiker knows
whats coming. He was diagnosed with
Alzheimers so early that hes had time to
tell his family what he wants to happen
once forgetfulness turns incapacitating.
When its time to put me in an institu-
tion, dont have me at home and destroy
your own life, said the retired physician,
who is still well enough that he blogs
about the insidious progress of the dis-
ease. Watching the Lights Go Out, its
titled.
Nearly half of all seniors who need some
form of long-term care from help at
home to full-time care in a facility have
dementia, the World Alzheimer Report said
Thursday. Its a staggering problem as the
global population ages, placing enor-
mous strain on families who provide the
bulk of that care at least early on, and on
national economies alike.
Indeed, cognitive impairment is the
strongest predictor of who will move into
a care facility within the next two years,
7.5 times more likely than people with
cancer, heart disease or other chronic ail-
ments of older adults, the report found.
Its astonishing, said Marc
Wortmann, executive director of
Alzheimers Disease International, which
commissioned the report and focused on
the problems of caregiving. What many
countries try to do is keep people away
from care homes because they say thats
cheaper. Yes its cheaper for the govern-
ment or the health system, but its not
always the best solution.
And dropping birth rates mean there are
fewer children in families to take care of
aging parents, too, said Michael Hodin of
the Global Coalition on Aging.
Very shortly there will be more of us
over 60 than under 15, he noted.
Today, more than 35 million people
worldwide, including 5 million in the
U.S., are estimated to have Alzheimers .
Barring a medical breakthrough, those
numbers are expected to more than double
by 2050.
This week, the U.S. National Institutes
of Health announced $45 million in new
Alzheimers research, with most of the
money focused on finding ways to prevent
or at least delay the devastating disease.
The Obama administration had hoped to
invest $100 million in new Alzheimers
research this year, a move blocked by the
budget cuts known as the sequester.
Overall, the nation has been investing
about $400 million a year in Alzheimers
research.
But the diseases financial toll is $200
billion a year in the U.S. alone, a tab
expected to pass $1 trillion by 2050 in
medical and nursing home expenditures
not counting unpaid family caregiving.
The world report puts the global cost at
$604 billion.
Thursday, families affected by
Alzheimers and aging advocates said its
time for a global push to end the brain dis-
ease, just like the worlds governments
and researchers came together to turn the
AIDS virus from a death sentence into a
chronic disease.
We need a war on Alzheimers, said
Sandy Halperin, 63, of Tallahassee, Fla.,
who was diagnosed with early-stage
Alzheimers three years ago. He now finds
himself stumbling for words, but still vis-
its lawmakers to urge more funding.
Meanwhile, the world report focuses on
caregiving, stressing how the needs of
people with dementia are so different than
those of other ailments of aging, such as
cancer and heart disease. People with
dementia begin needing some help to get
through the day early on, to make sure
they dont leave the stove on or get lost,
for example. Eventually, patients lose the
ability to do the simplest activities of
daily life, and can survive that way for a
decade or more. Often family members quit
their jobs so they can provide round-the-
clock care, and the stress can harm their
own health.
The world report said families need early
education about what services are avail-
able to help before theyre in a crisis, plus
training in how to handle the behavioral
problems of the disease - such as not to
argue if their loved one thinks Ronald
Reagan is still president, or how to handle
the agitation at dusk known as sundown-
ing, or how to react when the patient hits
someone.
Two-thirds of the calls that Home
Instead Senior Care, which provides in-
home personal care services, receives are
from families that did no planning until
the patient had a crisis, such as wandering
or a fall, said its president, Jeff Huber.
Hilfiker, the blogger with early
Alzheimers, takes that education idea a
step further. He tells everyone he knows
that he has Alzheimers as a way to break
some of the stigma, so when I make dumb
mistakes, I dont need to be embarrassed,
he said Thursday.
He urges other patients to plan their
end-of-life care early, while theyre still
cognitively able to participate. He
believes that telling his wife no extraordi-
nary care no feeding tubes, for example
will ease her burden.
Hilfikers big unanswered question: If
Im at peace with my disease, does that
make it easier to care for me later?
Rising Alzheimers creates strain on caregivers

with most of the money focused on nding ways to prevent or at least delay the devastating
disease.

month payments. There is also a

At its Thursday, Sept. 26 meeting,
the school board will discuss
whether there are any action steps
that should be taken because the
transfer of funds for the superinten-
dents loan occurred one day prior
to the board taking formal action to
approve it. The escrow on the San
Carlos home Baker purchased was
scheduled to close Sept. 13, but
went through on Sept. 11. This was
a mistake and the district will look
into why there werent cont rol s,
Baker said.
This loan is a routine matter, said
Trustee Seth Rosenblatt, who is
frustrated with the hullabaloo sur-
rounding the loan.
Its hard to predict when a small
group of people will get really
excited about something of small
importance, Rosenblatt said.
But this made-up problem can
have real ramifications. Its already
had a devastating toll on our amaz-
ing district office staff who had to
spend so much of their time last
week dealing with this silliness
rather than serving children,
Rosenblatt wrote in a blog post. I
have been flooded with calls,
emails, texts and in-person conver-
sations by folks who are shocked at
this nonsense, and many have been
trying to counter the ignorant com-
ments on social media sites, but
unfortunately social media sites
often favor the ignorant.
This is a completely fabricated
controversy, Baker said.
Its disheartening because this is
a very common thing for a superin-
tendent to get temporary assistance
to move into the community where
they are superintendents, he said.
Theres nothing illegal, unethical
or in any other way wrong with this
sort of arrangement. Its been egged
on by some very shoddy journal-
ism. That said, the public has an
absolute right to understand these
sorts of things and to ask questions
and to get answers.
Bakers son goes to Central
Middle School and he wants him to
be able to walk to school with his
friends.
I would like my son to be in the
community where he goes to
school, he said. I want to be in
the town where Im the superintend-
ent because it makes for better con-
nection and its taken a long time to
figure out how I can make that hap-
pen. Ive always believed in the
importance between community and
school s.
What was the impetus for the
bridge loan?
Truthfully, I never thought we
would enact the bridge loan, he
said. Its a loan based on in the
event that I found something, while
my house was on the market, that in
case the timing didnt work out
from one to the other, the district
would do a bridge loan to make it
possible for me to make an offer.
The district is making money,
Baker said. The promissory note
stipulates he has up to a year or
when his house sells in Redwood
Ci t y, which is in escrow and he is
waiting for it to close.
San Carlos City Council candidate
Michael Corral attended the school
board meeting in which the loan
was approved. He said he didnt
know much about school boards but
attended the meeting after reading
about the issue online.
I dont think that something of
this magnitude should just be on
consent calendar since its of major
concern for a lot of people, he
said. They should have made spe-
cial public outreach. ... It infuriated
me to find out the board meeting and
vote were essentially a show for the
public when in fact this was decided
a long time ago. They couldnt have
possi bl y fol l owed prot ocol s? I
dont know how money can leave
the district without a formal vote
without someone being held
accountable.
On the matter of former school
district trustee Carrie du Bois acting
as his real estate agent, Baker said
having her as an agent is complete-
ly appropriate.
Even if she were [still on the
board], there wouldnt be anything
wrong with it, he said. The per-
son who raised that is one of two
people who seemed to have a prob-
lem with this at all. Its an absurd
accusation and laughable to say its
inappropriate.
What will the district do in the
future moving forward?
We will be discussing this next
board meeting to have an audit to
look at the process to communicate
better with the public, Baker said.
If it was left in my contract that
the district would consider a bridge
loan so I could move into town, it
would have been vetted with the
community months ago. I wish we
had dealt with this back then. All
along, I will be making money for
the district, not getting money.

had been reposted by a third party.
In a statement, the Sacramento
Democrat said the law gives minors a
do-over if they post something with-
out thinking through the conse-
quences. Photographs or statements
posted by teenagers could haunt them
later when they apply for college or
jobs.
I think this will hopefully give ado-
lescents in particular some pause,
said Eileen Espejo, director of media
and health policy for Children Now, an
Oakland-based nonprot that supports
the legislation. Think about what you
put on a website ... because it can live
on beyond you.
She said she hopes other states take
notice and follow Californias lead.
The law will apply to all social
media websites used by children,
including those established mainly for
photo-sharing. Facebook, the largest
social media website, already allows
its users to delete postings no matter
how dated they might be and makes
that ability clear, said Brandon Lepow,
a company spokesman.
The law also includes restrictions for
online marketing to minors.
It prohibits websites from targeting
minors with advertisements for prod-
ucts and services that are otherwise
illegal for them, including tobacco,
alcohol and rearms. That also applies
to services and products banned for
minors under state law, including arti-
cial tanning, permanent tattoos, cer-
tain dietary supplements, spray paint
and reworks deemed dangerous.
Website operators also could not
compile the personal information of
minors and give that to a third party
for marketing or advertising purposes.
That would protect only registered
users of the website, who would have
to provide the operator with their date
of birth.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Stephen A. Wood, also known as
Stephen Wood
Case Number: 123715
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Stephen A. Wood, also
known as Stephen Wood. A Petition for
Probate has been filed by Sloan D.
Wood in the Superior Court of California,
County of San Mateo. The Petition for
Probate requests that Sloan D. Wood be
appointed as personal representative to
administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: October 18, 2013 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal qutho-
ity may affect your rights as a creditor.
You may want to consult with an attorney
knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

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