Despite a projected $4.2 million budget
shortfall this coming year, and fears this
could expand with nances that may go to a
new charter school, ofcials in the San
Mateo Union High School District have
mixed opinions on how things will pan out.
The districts total revenue for the 2014-
15 school year is $121.6 million, while the
total expenditures are $125.8 million,
according to the budget approved in June.
The district is basic aid funded, meaning it
gets its money from property taxes. This
has happened in prior years. For example,
in the 2013-14 scal year, the district saw a
$3.9 million decit.

Redwood City re ofcials are
trying to nd ways to incentivize
property owners to install sprin-
kler systems after the third apart-
ment re in a little over a year
destroyed a womans home and
temporarily displaced nearly 34
people Sunday.
Fireghters were called to 950
Regent Court around 7:06 p.m.
after a second-story apartment at a
12-unit building caught re. About
50 reghters, 12 engines, three
ladder trucks, six chief ofcers,
police and medical personnel
responded to the three-alarm re,
Deputy Fire Chief Stan Maupin
said. The re was contained around
7:45 p.m., Maupin said.
In the last 14 months, there
were two other apartments that
also caught re just blocks away
from Regent Court on Woodside
Road. Another troubling similari-
ty is that none of the apartments
were equipped with sprinkler sys-
tems, Maupin said.
All of these res could have had
potentially just one sprinkler
head that would have contained the
re before we got there and had it
be a really small re, Maupin
said.
Maupin said the investigation is
still ongoing but the cause of the
Regent re appears to be acciden-
tal; he couldnt conrm if a candle
sparked it.
The re originated from Dulce
Bertuldos apartment, where shed
lived for 13 years and now has lit-
tle to show. Bertuldo, who has
health conditions, said there was
no working fire alarm and her
neighbors had to help carry her
out.
Third Redwood City apartment fire sparks concern

SACRAMENTO A federal
judge has overturned part of a
California law requiring a 10-day
waiting period for gun buyers, rul-
ing that it does not apply to those
who already own rearms.
U.S. District Judge Anthony
Ishii of Fresno ruled late last week
that 10-day waiting periods
impermissibly violate the Second
Amendment for gun-buyers who
already passed background checks
or are authorized to carry con-
cealed weapons.
There is no evidence that a
cooling off period, such as that
provided by the 10-day waiting
period, prevents impulsive acts of
violence by individuals who
already possess a rearm. A wait-
ing period for a newly purchased
Judge strikes
down 10-day
wait for guns
Ruling: No cooling off
periodfor gun owners

Gold thief offers to
pay for pilfered nugget
ANCHORAGE, Alaska Aman sus-
pected of walking out of a Juneau,
Alaska, jewelry store with a gold
nugget worth nearly $5,000 developed
a conscience and paid for it after his
image was distributed by police
through a crime stoppers program.
The man was a former resident who
had returned three weeks ago to partic-
ipate in a salmon shing derby, police
Lt. Kris Sell said. By Sunday after-
noon, he had called the store and left
his credit card number to pay for the
precious metal.
He didnt think he was on video,
Sell said.
Alaska has a rich mining history,
and gold continues to be pursued by
corporations with heavy equipment
and individuals with gold pans.
Nuggets are used in jewelry, and the
largest specimens are prized for their
natural beauty and heft.
The missing nugget disappeared
Aug. 10.
According to Juneau Crime Line, a
man in his 60s took a nugget from a
display case and tried to get a clerks
attention, but then put the nugget in
his pocket and walked out of the store.
A clerk said the man had bought
something the day before and provided
his name. Police, however, could nd
no one by that name in Juneau.
Still photos distributed by Juneau
Crime Line were published Friday by
the Juneau Empire and others. Ti ps
poured in, Sell said. Apparently some-
one also tipped off the suspect.
Maine lobsterman
catches rare blue lobster
SCARBOROUGH, Maine AMaine
lobsterman says he and his 14-year-
old daughter caught a one-in-two-mil-
lion crustacean: a blue lobster.
WCSH-TV reports Jay LaPlante of
the Miss Meghan Lobster Catch com-
pany caught the curious creature in
Scarborough around 10:45 a.m.
Saturday. LaPlante and daughter
Meghan were hauling traps when she
discovered the bright blue critter.
The story has a happy ending for the
lobster. Meghan says she is naming it
Skyler and donating it to the Maine
State Aquarium, far from any dinner
rolls or pats of butter. The aquarium
says it has three other blue lobsters
and an orange one.
Moose shows up at
German office canteen
BERLIN Maybe he got hungry?
Amoose on the loose in the eastern
German city of Dresden evaded capture
before getting stuck inside an ofce
building, tantalizingly close to the
canteen.
A spokesman for Dresden police
says the young bull walked into the
building housing German industrial
giant Siemens shortly before
lunchtime Monday.
Marko Laske says officers and
wildlife spent six hours trying to shoo
the moose into a container but eventu-
ally had to resort to using a tranquiliz-
er gun after he refused to follow orders.
The animal, likely to have come
from neighboring Poland, will be
released back into the wild.
Colorado marshal
cant adjust to high altitude
NEDERLAND, Colo. Nederland,
Colorados town marshal says he is
resigning after just six months because
he cant adjust to the altitude.
The Daily Camera reports Monday
that Jim Matheney wanted to dispel
rumors, including one claiming he left
the job in the quirky town just west of
Boulder because of a space alien attack.
Matheney, a former police captain in
suburban Detroit, says he left because
he could not acclimate to the 8,400-
foot altitude.

A man accused of pilfering a womans
nancial items while catering a post-funer-
al gathering at her Belmont home and his
girlfriend both on probation for trying
to use stolen credit cards at the Half Moon
Bay Ritz-Carlton last year will each
stand trial for several alleged crimes.
Robert Spiva, 31, and Paige Boswell, 22,
both of East Palo Alto, have pleaded not
guilty to their respective charges but were
held to answer after a preliminary hearing
on the evidence. They return to court Sept.
5 to enter a Superior Court plea and poten-
tially set a trial date.
According to prosecutors, a Belmont
woman reported her wallet and checkbook
missing the day after Spiva worked as a
caterer at a wake. On Aug.
3, her credit card was used
at a Palo Alto gas station
near Spivas residence
and he matched the sus-
pect on the surveillance
video. A probation
search of his home
reportedly turned up the
credit card and gift cards
taken from the funeral
but Spiva claimed he found them in a work
restroom.
Police also reported nding in Spivas
possession debit and insurance cards stolen
from mail in Woodside two weeks earlier
and Boswell had several pages of personal
identication information in an envelope.
Both defendants are charged with pos-
sessing stolen property.
Boswell is also charged
with possessing the
identication of another
and Spiva is charged with
three counts of identity
theft and a misdemeanor
count of drug parapherna-
lia possession.
In 2013, both were
arrested for trying to
book a room at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in
Half Moon Bay and were later found in pos-
session of identifying information for
dozens of people. They pleaded no contest;
Boswell received a year in jail and Spiva
was given 18 months.
Each remain in custody in lieu of
$100,000 bail.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A 27-year-old Half Moon Bay man who
had a sexual relationship with a 13-year-
old girl he met at a dance in 2012 is facing
three years in prison and lifetime registra-
tion as a sex offender after pleading no
contest Monday to felony child molesta-
t i on.
Gregorio Padilla-Luis changed his plea
Monday morning as he was set to begin
jury trial on three counts of child molesta-
tion stemming from his relationship with
the girl between July 7, 2012, and June 24,
2013. Instead, he accept
a negotiated settlement
offered by the judge and
prosecutor on the condi-
tion of one count for a
three-year term. He also
admitted committing a
violent felony and the
conviction counts as a
criminal strike in the
future.
He will be formally
sentenced Oct. 7 after a judge received a
report on his likelihood to reoffend.
Padilla-Luis was 25 when he reportedly
met the girl, then 12, in July 2012 and
they dated for a year and had consensual sex
seven times before the relationship was
discovered in June. The girl allegedly
snuck out of her home at 1 a.m. June 24,
2013, waking her father with the shutting
door and sending the family searching for a
half hour before they found her partially
undressed in the back seat of Padilla-Luis
truck. Prosecutors say he told the girls
father that he loved her.
Padilla-Luis remains in custody on
$300,000 bail pending sentencing.

Helping the transition to new Common
Core education standards, reducing teacher
turnover and generally improving commu-
nication and programming are key issues
for those seeking seats on the South San
Francisco Unied School Districts Board
of Trustees.
There are eight candidates running for
three open seats. Appointed incumbent
Patrick Lucy is in the running. Lucy lled
former trustee Liza Normandys role after
she was elected to the South San Francisco
City Council. Former trustee Shirlee
Hochs seat is also up. She submitted her
letter of resignation last November after a
struggle with her health over the last cou-
ple of years. Trustee Philip Weise is also up
for re-election. Joining Weise and Lucy are
Rosa Acosta, John Baker, Monica
Peregrina Boyd, Pat Murray, Rick
Ochsenhirt and Sue Olinger.
Four of the candidates for the upcoming
Nov. 4 election applied for the slot that
Lucy took over back in January. One of
these candidates, Ochsenhirt, is a planning
commissioner and has served on various
bond oversight committees. One of the
things Ochsenhirt is concerned about is the
states decision to eliminate teacher tenure.
District volunteer Peregrina Boyd, another
candidate who applied back in December,
wants to represent the Latino community
as a board member.
A large percentage of the students and
the parents are Latinos and theres no
Latino on the board of education or the City
Council, she said. I would like to provide
a voice for immigrants and Latinos. I think
its a very important time in our district;
the district is going through a lot of
changes.
Such changes includ-
ing completing the 2010
Measure J bond projects,
along with transitioning
to the Common Core cur-
riculum that shifts
toward using more tech-
nology in the classroom
and the new Local
Control Funding
Formula. Another con-
cern for Peregrina Boyd
is that there have been
too many great teachers
leaving the district, she
said.
Acosta, a resident of
South San Francisco for
37 years and mom of ve
children who are, or
were, district students,
agreed.
My biggest concern
would be retaining teach-
ers, said Acosta, a man-
agement analyst with the
City Managers Office.
There seems to be large
turnover, so our teachers
can be better at retaining
our own kids who seek to
go to other districts.
When you live it, I think
you can give better
advice and point people
in the right direction.
Making sure the
Common Core is imple-
mented equitably is a
concern for Lucy. He
would also like to con-
tinue his work maintain-
ing the safety and securi-
ty of schools in the dis-
trict, he said.
I want to make South
City is the best school
district, he said. I work
hard for our kids and Ill
continue to work hard for
our kids. Im usually
approachable and
encourage people to
approach me.
The communication
between the community,
parents, children, staff
and the district does need
work, said Olinger, who
applied for the open seat
back in December.
Olinger, a paraeducator
lead Annex teacher at
Foster City Elementary
School, said she also
wants to help bring more
equity to the district.
Meanwhile, Weise,
who joined the school
board in 1998, said his
primary reason for run-
ning is to make sure the
bond projects finish
appropriately, while
continuing to maintain
good relationships with-
in the district.
I think Ive proven
myself over the years in
keeping the district
financially stable, he
said. Weve been able to
retain our teachers and
keep summer school pro-
grams in the district. I
try to do a good job to improve the educa-
tional outcome for our children.
The district is great, but could use some
improvements, said Murray, a mom of three
and former parent teacher association pres-
ident, who also applied to the board in
December. Major issues for her are staff
retention, along with making sure students
are taught real world skills.
When there was an issue with the dis-
trict, I went before them (the school board)
to save programs and, when we lost pro-
grams, to prioritize what we were losing,
she said. Theres no reason we couldnt be
as good as the schools down the Peninsula.
The turnover is amazing. If we cant fol-
low through on programs, you never have
that continuity. I dont think theres
been enough communication in all direc-
tions.
Baker is also concerned about making
sure the district is serving the whole stu-
dent, not just teaching to tests. He wants
to have a system in which students are
trained holistically to contribute to socie-
ty without having to go to college. He also
wants to see the district serve as an advo-
cate for students more often.
When my son started school he had a
misdiagnosed disability, he said. My
wife and I ended up having to spend a lot of
time in the school system when we
thought the school district should serve as
his advocate. As time went on, it became
logical I should run because I had personal
interest. Our kids are getting good test
scores, but are they becoming good stu-
dents?
He noted the district is not turning out
graduates that the South San Francisco
biotechnology industry would select.

future.org.

SACRAMENTO California is on the
brink of becoming the rst state to dene
when yes means yes while investigating
sexual assaults on college campuses.
A bill doing so, SB967, passed the
Assembly on a 52-16 vote Monday as
states and universities across the U.S. are
under pressure to change how they handle
rape allegations. It now heads back to the
Senate for what is expected to be a nal
vote on amendments.
The bill by state Sen. Kevin De Leon, D-
Los Angeles, changes the denition of con-
sent for campuses investigating sexual
assault cases by requiring an afrmative,
unambiguous and conscious decision by
each party to engage in sexual activity.
That marks a shift from the popular sexual-
assault prevention refrain, no means no.
Sexual assaults are too common on our
campuses, and the need for change is now,
said Assemblyman Jimmy Gomez, D-Los
Angeles.
Advocates for victims of sexual assault
supported the change as one that will pro-
vide consistency across campuses and chal-
lenge the notion that victims must have
resisted assault in order to have valid com-
plaints.
Some critics say the legislation is over-
reaching and sends universities into murky,
unfamiliar legal waters.
Silence, lack of resistance and an exist-
ing sexual relationship are not considered
consent under the legislation. Students also
are not able to grant consent if they are
unconscious or incapacitated by drugs or
alcohol to the point where they could not
understand the fact, nature, or extent of the
sexual activity, according to the legisla-
tion.

Thief jumps residential
fence, arrested for theft
A man was arrested Wednesday
for burglarizing a car and briefly
eluding police
after running
through resi-
dential back-
yards in
Belmont.
M i t c h e l l
Taylor, a 25-
year-old San
Carlos resi-
dent, was seen
taking items from a van on the
300 block of ONeil Avenue
around 2:55 p.m., according to
police. When approached by offi-

dential backyard on the 1200
block of Irwin Street and jumped
a fence into an adjacent yard,
according to police.
Taylor was caught and arrested
about 10 minutes later on the 400

SACRAMENTO The Assembly on
Monday rejected legislation that would make
California the rst state to impose a ban on
single-use plastic bags, but the bill could be
heard again later this week.
SB270 failed Monday on a 37-33 vote that
crossed party lines after an hour-long debate
largely focused on a 10-cent fee grocers can
charge for bags.
The bill by Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Los
Angeles, makes an effort to encourage
reusable bags by prohibiting stores from car-
rying single-use ones. It follows about 100
cities and counties, including Los Angeles
and San Francisco, that previously banned
plastic bags to ght litter in parks and water.
It is time to bring the rest of the state up
to speed with this environmentally and eco-
nomically sound legislation, said
Assemblyman Rob Bonta, D-Alameda.
Local jurisdictions have taught us this poli-
cy works.
But plastic bag manufacturers looking to
prevent such a ban from succeeding on a
statewide level have lobbied heavily against
it. Similar bans in Washington and
Massachusetts were considered this year but
did not pass.
The measure also attracted opposition from
paper bag makers because of the fee on bags
that many grocers already provide for free.
When you turn around and penalize these
consumers for using a better alternative, we
are creating a terrible policy for the state of
California, said Assemblyman Jeff Gorell, a
Republican from Camarillo who said law-
makers should nd another approach to ght-
ing the costly buildup of plastic waste in
oceans and waterways.
Brown OKs bills on kill
switch, Obama presidency
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown has
signed bills on a wide range of topics, from
smartphone protections to curriculum
updates.
The governor on Monday announced sign-
ing SB962 by Sen. Mark Leno, which makes
California the rst state to require smart-
phones to offer a kill switch. The San
Francisco Democrat says the anti-theft tech-
nology would allow smartphone owners to
render their devices useless if stolen.
The governor also signed AB1912, which
encourages schools to teach about the histor-
ical signicance of Barack Obama becoming
the nations rst African-American president.
The bill is by Assemblyman Chris Holden, a
Democrat from Pasadena.
And under AB2393, counties will be
allowed to increase vehicle registration fees
to pay for ngerprint identication pro-
grams.
Bill allows counting
of late vote-by-mail ballots
SACRAMENTO The state Assembly has
approved a bill allowing elections ofcials
to count ballots that are received up to three
days after an election, even though it does
not require a postmark.
SB29 passed Monday on a 49-20 vote over
the objections of Republican lawmakers who
said it could promote voter fraud.
The legislation by Democratic Sen. Lou
Correa of Anaheim does not require that late
ballots bear postmarks. A voter signature
dated before Election Day would sufce.
Republican lawmakers said the proposed
standard for accepting ballots is too low to
prevent late voting in close races.
Data breach response
bill headed to governor
SACRAMENTO Legislation headed to
the governors desk requires businesses to
help protect consumers against identity theft
after data breaches.
The state Assembly on Monday gave
AB1710 nal approval on a 47-24 vote.
Democratic Assemblymen Bob
Wieckowski of Fremont and Roger
Dickinson of Sacramento introduced the bill
in response to the millions of Californians
affected by data breaches, including at
Target.
The original legislation was tougher on
businesses by setting data-protection stan-
dards and holding them liable if they did not
comply. The lawmakers dropped those provi-
sions after strong opposition from retailers.
Senate approves fines
on popular synthetic drugs
SACRAMENTO The state Senate has
approved a bill that would impose a ne of up
to $250 for using or possessing certain syn-
thetic drugs that are growing in popularity
among teenagers.
Lawmakers on Monday passed SB1283 on
a 29-0 vote. The bill targeting synthetic mar-
ijuana or stimulants known as spice and
bath salts now heads to the governor.
It currently is illegal to sell the so-called
designer drugs, but there is no law against use
and possession.
Assembly rejects statewide plastic bag ban
Around the state
By Sudhin Thanawala
SAN FRANCISCO In the coming
years, Californians could have valuable sec-
onds of warning before earthquakes such as
this weeks wine country temblor reach
them, allowing trains to slow down or stop,
power plants and factories to shut off
valves, and schoolchildren to dive under
desks to avoid falling objects.
Earthquake early warning systems that
provide such notice are in place in Mexico
and Japan. But California has lagged behind
those countries, and is still trying to identi-
fy funding sources for the roughly $80 mil-
lion needed to implement an early-warning
system in the state.
Sundays rolling 6.0 shake near Napa has
led to renewed calls for its quick deployment
before another, possibly more destructive
temblor strikes. Researchers are testing a
system that could provide tens of seconds of
warning, but it is not available for public use.
(Mexico and Japan) acted after large trag-
ic earthquakes that claimed thousands of
lives, Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Los Angeles,
said. I hope we dont wait for a tragedy of
that scale to nally act here in California.
Richard Allen, director of the University
of California, Berkeley, Seismological
Lab, said his lab received a 10-second
advance notice estimating a 5.7-magnitude
quake and warning of light shaking before
the seismic waves from Sundays quake
arrived there. Allen is among the
researchers testing the earthquake warning
system envisioned as the basis for the
states system.
Berkeley is about 40 miles from the
quakes epicenter and did not experience any
damage during the quake, but in a more vio-
lent temblor, 10 seconds could have made a
big difference, he said.

BEIRUT Syria said Monday it was
ready to help confront the rising threat
from the Islamic State group, but warned
the United States against carrying out
airstrikes without Damascus consent, say-
ing any such attack would be considered an
aggression.
In seeking to portray itself as a partner
for the international community, Syria
seemed intent on capitalizing on the grow-
ing clamor among some U.S. officials,
including military leaders, to expand the
current American air campaign against the
Islamic extremists in Iraq and to hit them in
Syria as well.
President Barack Obama has long been
wary of getting dragged into the bloody and
complex Syrian civil war that the United
Nations says has killed more than 190,000
people. He has resisted intervening mili-
tarily in the conict, even after a deadly
chemical weapons attack a year ago that
Washington blamed on President Bashar
Assads government.
But the extremist groups rampage across
wide swaths of Iraq, declaration of a state
governed by their harsh interpretation of
Islamic law in territory spanning the Iraq-
Syria border, and grisly beheading of an
American journalist, have injected a new
dynamic into those calculations. Now,
Obama faces pressure from his own mili-
tary leaders to go after the extremists
inside Syria.
On Monday, a senior administration of-
cial said Obama authorized surveillance
ights over Syria, a move that could pave
the way for U.S. airstrikes. The ofcial who
conrmed the decision was not authorized
to discuss Obamas decision publicly by
name, and insisted on anonymity.
Speaking in Damascus, Syrian Foreign
Minister Walid al-Moallem appeared acute-
ly aware of how much has changed since
last August, when the U.S. was threatening
to carry out punitive airstrikes against
Assads government in the wake of the
chemical attack. Since then, global disap-
proval has shifted away from Assad and
toward the Islamic extremists who are
fighting him and spreading destruction
across Syria and Iraq.
Al-Moallem told reporters his govern-
ment is ready to cooperate and coordinate
with any side, including the U.S., or join
any regional or international alliance
against the Islamic State group. But he said
any military action inside Syria should be
coordinated with the Syrian government.
Any strike which is not coordinated
with the government will be considered as
aggression, he said.
He said Damascus has warned repeatedly
of the threat of terrorism and the need to cut
off resources and funding, but no one lis-
tened to us. Syrias government has long
described the rebels fighting to topple
Assad as terrorists in a foreign conspira-
cy.
In Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister
Sergey Lavrov also said Western nations
that long refused to condemn Assads ene-
mies were now coming to realize the threat
posed by the Islamic State group.
The West, he said, will have to choose
what is more important: to change the
regime and satisfy personal antipathies
with the risk that the situation will crum-
ble, or nd pragmatic ways to join efforts
against the common threat, which is the
same for all of us terrorism.
Syria warns U.S.: No unilateral strikes on militants
By Julie Pace
WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama has authorized surveillance flights
over Syria, two U.S. officials said late
Monday, a move that could pave the way
for U.S. airstrikes against Islamic State
militant targets.
While the White House says Obama has
not approved military action inside Syria,
additional intelligence on the militants
would likely be necessary before he could
take that step. Pentagon officials have
been drafting potential options for the
president, including airstrikes.
One official said the administration has
a need for reliable intelligence from Syria
and called the surveillance flights an
important avenue for obtaining data.
The U.S. began launching strikes
against the Islamic State inside Iraq earli-
er this month, with Obama citing the
threat to American personnel in the coun-
try and a humanitarian crisis in the north
as his rationale. Top Pentagon officials
have said the only way the threat from the
militants can be fully eliminated is to go
after the group inside neighboring Syria
as well.
Obama has long resisted taking military
action in Syria, a step that would plunge
the U.S. into a country ravaged by an
intractable civil war.
However, the presidents
calculus appears to have
shifted since the Islamic
State announced last
week that it had murdered
American journalist
James Foley, who was
held hostage in Syria.
The group is also threat-
ening to kill other U.S.
citizens being held by
the extremists in Syria.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest
said Monday that Obama has demonstrated
his willingness to order military action
when necessary to protect American citi-
zens.
That is true without regard to interna-
tional boundaries, he said.
The White House would not comment on
Obamas decision to authorize surveil-
lance flights over Syria.
Were not going to comment on intel-
ligence or operational issues, but as weve
been saying, well use all the tools at our
disposal, said Caitlin Hayden, spokes-
woman for the White House National
Security Council.
The officials who confirmed the deci-
sion were not authorized to discuss
Obamas decision publicly by name, and
insisted on anonymity.

Gen. Martin Dempsey says that once he
determines the Islamic State militants in
Iraq have become a direct threat to the U.S.
homeland, he will recommend the U.S. mil-
itary move directly against the group in
Syria.
But the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff said that right now, he still believes
the insurgent group is still more a regional
threat and is not plotting or planning
attacks against either the U.S. or Europe.
Speaking on a military plane en route to
Afghanistan Sunday, Dempsey provided
more detail into his thinking about the
Islamic militants who have stormed across
Iraq, operating out of safe havens in Syria.
Dempsey did not rule out strikes for any
other critical reasons, but listed a homeland
threat as one of the key triggers for any mil-
itary action in Syria.
So far, the Obama administration has
restricted its military action against the
militants to specic operations within Iraq,
but concerns have
increased as the Islamic
State group extended its
reach, taking control of a
swath of land stretching
from Syria across the bor-
der and deep into western
and northern Iraq.
The group took over
Iraqs second largest city,
Mosul, in June, and has
since declared an Islamic
state, or caliphate, in territory under its con-
trol in Iraq and Syria.
Dempsey also told reporters traveling
with him that he believes that key allies in
the region including Jordan, Turkey and
Saudi Arabia will join the U.S. in quash-
ing the Islamic State group.
I think ISIS has been so brutal, and has
wrapped itself in a radical religious legiti-
macy that clearly threatens everybody I just
mentioned, that I think they will be willing
partners, said Dempsey, expressing opti-
mism for the rst time that the Arab nations
would join in the conflict. ISIS is an
acronym for the Islamic State group.

OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
Los Angeles Times
A
little more than a year after former
National Security Agency contrac-
tor Edward Snowden revealed that
the federal government was collecting and
storing the telephone records of millions
of Americans, Congress is poised to end
the program and provide signicant protec-
tion for a broad range of personal informa-
tion sought by government investigators.
Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), the chairman
of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has
proposed a version of the bill that is sig-
nicantly more protective of privacy than
one passed by the House in May. Like the
House bill, Leahys proposal would end the
NSAs bulk collection of telephone meta-
data information about the source, des-
tination and duration of phone calls that
investigators can query in search of pos-
sible connections to foreign terrorism.
But the Senate version, worked out in
negotiations with the White House and
civil liberties groups, imposes stricter lim-
its on the search terms used to obtain not
only phone data but other records as well.
For example, the bill makes it clear that
the government may not use a search term
that would collect all information relating
to a particular service provider or a broad
geographic region denoted by a ZIP Code
or area code.
Finally, the bill provides for the declas-
sication and publication to the greatest
extent practicable of opinions by the
Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court
and its appellate arm, the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review.
Important as it is, the Leahy bill address-
es in only minor ways the collection of
information about Americans as a byprod-
uct of the electronic surveillance targeting
foreigners living abroad. Unlike the col-
lection of telephone metadata, these activi-
ties capture the actual contents of phone
conversations, emails and social media
postings, meaning that if an American is
in contact with a friend or relative abroad,
his private musings can be swept up in the
electronic dragnet. That creates the possi-
bility of backdoor surveillance of
Americans without the individual warrants
required by the 4th Amendment.
Apanel appointed by President Obama
recommended that information about
Americans incidentally collected in foreign
surveillance be purged upon detection
unless it has foreign intelligence value or
is necessary to prevent harm to others.
Information about a U.S. citizen or perma-
nent resident couldnt be used in a legal
proceeding against him, under another pro-
posal by the panel.
For all its limitations, the USAFreedom
Act is a testimony to the importance of
Presidential advisers
need to do their jobs
Editor,
All presidents, including our current
president, have advisers. The president
cannot possibly be up to date on all
issues. They depend on advisers to keep
them posted on issues of the day and
long-term issues that range from national
security issues, international issues, eco-
nomic issues and daily events. It is con-
cerning when the president is not aware
of the ISIS/ISEL threat. He described them
as a junior varsity team, which means
inconsequential.
Certainly our intelligence community
must have been aware of the threat. Why
didnt they inform our president? The
same can be said for the Russia/Ukraine
issue, Central American children migra-
tion, the Affordable Care Act rollout prob-
lems and several more. No one expects
the president to have a crystal ball, but
we do expect him to be informed.

Sidewalk wars
on Burlingame Avenue
Editor,
Caution: diners, bag ladies from
Hillsborough, huge umbrellas, baby bug-
gies, dogs, bikers, skateboarders, meter
cops, construction laborers and out of
towners are cramming (whenever its
gonna be done already) Burlingame
Avenue to the point of no return. Is this
scene a bad thing? Consider the taxes that
the stores can pay to the street repair
fund. Yes, for many of the day-to-day
activities around here, this massive grow-
ing roadblock is a bad thing. Consider
the travel jams on the sidewalks now.
Where to walk? In the streets? On the
right side? Easier shouted than done on
Burlingame Avenue.
An article on gothamist.com references
a user on Reddit who said, there will be
2-3 people walking side by side, taking
up the entire width of the sidewalk. Well
be walking towards each other and, with-
out fail, they wont shrink to make room
for anyone to pass. Is this a chicken kind
of thing? First person to move loses?
We are playing chicken out there. Its

Improve our
Harbor District
Editor,
The recent grand jury report presents an
opportunity for growth and progress in
the Harbor District, but our elected harbor
commissioners are going to blow it.
Nineteen citizen volunteers spent untold
hours learning about our harbors and gov-
ernance. They produced 12 findings and
11 recommendations to improve opera-
tions and oversight. Suggestions such as
more frequent lease analysis and forming
committees that meet on regular schedules
were brought up. Though the report was
critical, it was also filled with construc-
tive suggestions.
With distress, I watched the harbor
commissioners dismiss the report last
Wednesday. Speaking from their high
dais, most of the commissioners called
the report politicized and unjust. One
doubted that such an articulate, profes-
sional document was within the level of
competence of regular citizenry. Another
said the recommendations were nonsensi-
cal, unreasonable, and un-American.
There was even a suggestion that the
grand jury be investigated.
The purpose of the San Mateo County
Civil Grand Jury is to improve local gov-
ernance by means of unbiased, outside
evaluations and recommendations for
reform. But in the Harbor District, resist-
ance to change is getting in the way.
We need enthusiastic and competent
leaders in the Harbor District who will
carefully and responsibly address the
interests of taxpayers as well as the inter-
ests of harbor and marina communities.
Please vote for change in the Nov. 4
election.

A blessing
and a curse
T
he separation of church and state is
nothing to sneeze at. The Founding
Fathers werent playing around when
they drew that line, debated though it may
remain.
But one Tennessee school may have drawn
that distinction a little too sharply recently,
suspending a student who greeted another
pupils sneeze with a bless you.
Thats right. Politeness is not dead but it
is also not politically correct.
Eighteen-year-old Kendra Turner was hand-
ed a mini-vacation from school after she
dared offer a classmate
the courtesy at Dyer
County High School.
Unfortunately for
Turner, seems the
teacher had a ban on the
phrase and did not
appreciate the girl say-
ing she had a First
Amendment right to
utter it. Turner told a TV
station the teacher said
she wasnt allowing godly speaking in her
class. Another students photo of the class-
room shows a list of other words banned by
the teacher in her room: dumb, stupid, my
bad, hang out.
Stupid, I get. Stupid is as stupid does, or so
said Forrest Gumps momma. And maybe
my bad is a little lowbrow although Id
undoubtedly be bounced from the teachers
classroom if she heard me speak on a regular
basis. I wonder how the teacher feels about
those other seven special words you once
couldnt say on TV.
While some in Kendras corner are chalk-
ing up this incident as a ght over religious
intolerance, Im more prone to see it as a
debate of etiquette. The high school senior
didnt throw God into the phrase, at the
very least. But even if she had, frankly, the
knee-jerk reaction to anothers sneeze is
about as mindless to most as asking how
are you? as a standard greeting. Although
Kendra was reported as having told the
teacher she learned the courtesy from her par-
ents and pastor, it doesnt appear her words
were a cloaked bit of proselytizing. Those
folks who insist on telling me to have a
blessed day appear more religiously moti-
vated and while the parting grace is not my
cup of tea I take it in the spirit with which it
is offered.
The teacher and school, for their part, said
the hoopla was not over freedom of speech
or religious but one of a class distraction. In
other words, polite acknowledgment of
another individuals nasal irritation is some-
how so terrible as to warrant removal.
Apparently, the teacher isnt a fan of the
1992 movie Singles in which a character
played by Bridget Fonda who has scaled
back her expectations and simply wants to
nd a guy who says bless you when she
sneezes. She apparently doesnt nd it dis-
tracting.
Granted, real life is not a Cameron Crowe
movie. However, reality can still be a place
where a little civility goes a long way.
Collectively, society clucks its tongue at
generations growing up without a sense of
responsibility, respect or any clue about
basic niceties. Isnt allowing a polite
response a step in the right direction?
Of course, banning bless you isnt nec-
essarily going to turn the younger set into a
legion of angry or detached minions, creat-
ing the need for more Columbine locks and
school safety plans. Likewise, the dying art
of holding a door or giving up a seat to the
elderly and pregnant doesnt signal the
beginning of the Apocalypse. Life will go
on without the phrase excuse me and lets
toss Im sorry out, too, while were at it.
Yet, there is a reason we call them pleas-
antries. They make the world a little more,
well, pleasant.
And the schools in this world are supposed
to be places of learning. The lesson here?
Stick with gesundheit.

Big movers
By Alex Veiga
Summer doldrums? Not on Wal l
Street.
The stock market notched another
first on Monday as the Standard &
Poors 500 index nudged briefly past
the 2,000-point mark and closed with
its second record high in a week.
The move was the latest milestone
in a five-year rally for U.S. stocks,
which are enjoying a late-summer
revival after dipping earlier this
month on concerns about geopoliti-
cal tensions in Russia and the Middle
East.
Investors have put aside those con-
cerns for now, focusing instead on
the improving outlook for the U.S.
economy, rising earnings and corpo-
rate deals.
News on Monday that Burger King
was in talks to acquire doughnut
chain Tim Hortons and create a new
holding company headquartered in
Canada had stocks pointing higher in
premarket trading. That built on word
over the weekend that California
biotech company InterMune agreed
to sell itself to Swiss pharmaceutical
company Roche for $8.3 billion.
Some other names in biotech also got
a boost from the deal.
The deals overshadowed disap-
pointing news in the housing mar-
ket.
Shortly after the market opened,
the Commerce Department reported
that sales of new homes slid 2.4 per-
cent last month. Homebuilder stocks
declined, but the losses didnt spread
to the broader market. In fact, stocks
did the opposite.
The S&P 500, a widely followed
barometer of the stock market,
crossed above 2,000 in the first hour
of trading.
The index fluctuated above and
below the milestone throughout the
day and ended just below that mark.
The index number itself is some-
what symbolic, said David Kelley,
JPMorgan Funds chief global strate-
gist. Its a continuation of what
weve seen all year.
All told, the S&P 500 added 9.52
points, or 0.5 percent, to 1,997.92.
It closed at a record last Thursday of
1, 992. 37.
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 75.65 points, or 0.4 percent, to
17, 076. 87. The Nasdaq composite
gained 18.80 points, or 0.4 percent,
to 4, 557. 35.
The major U.S. indexes are riding a
three-week streak of weekly gains
and are up for the year.
Stocks, with support from the
Federal Reserves easy-money poli-
cies, have been on a bull run for more
than five years after the market bot-
tomed out during the Great Recession
in March 2009.
Unless the story changes, the
stock market is going to get pushed
higher by the lack of potentially
good returns elsewhere, Kelley said.
Corporate deals have been a recur-
ring driver of the market this year.
Investors seized on the trend on
Monday, sending Burger King up
19.5 percent. The stock added $5.29
to $32.40.
InterMune, meanwhile, vaulted
35.4 percent. It climbed $19.05 to
$72. 85.
The parent company of the Ann
Taylor and Loft clothing chains also
got a boost on news that a big share-
holder is pressuring management to
explore selling the company. Ann
rose $2.42, or 6.4 percent, to
$39. 94.
Among other stocks making big
moves, GrubHub fell $3.60, or 8.4
percent, to $39.16 after it disclosed
that it may sell 10 million shares.
The online restaurant delivery service
had its initial public offering last
year.
While stocks are riding high this
summer, investors are still looking
for signs that U.S. consumers are in a
spending mood.
S&P 500 touches another milestone
By Josh Boak
WASHINGTON Fewer Americans
bought new homes in July, evidence that the
housing sector is struggling to gain trac-
tion more than ve years into the economic
recovery.
The Commerce Department said Monday
that new-home sales fell 2.4 percent last
month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate
of 412,000.
The report also revised up the June sales
rate to 422,000 from 406,000.
New-home sales plunged 30.8 percent in
the Northeast, followed by smaller drop-
offs in the Midwest and West. Purchases
were up 8.1 percent in the South, a region
that usually accounts for more than half of
all new-home sales.
Inventory of new homes on the market
rose to six months, a level last reached in
October 2011. The median price of a new
home last month was $269,800, up 2.9 per-
cent over the past 12 months.
But the steady rebound in construction
coming out of the Great Recession has
stalled. Sales lost much of their momentum
beginning last October, derailed by modest
wage growth, a bump in mortgage rates and
many builders focusing more on rental
apartments and high-end homes for wealthi-
er buyers.
The monthly sales data can be extremely
volatile, yet the trend line shows that the
market for new homes is running in place,
said Richard Moody, chief economist at
Regions Financial.
The sales rate basically has not budged
over the past ten months, Moody said.
The Monday sales data dampened enthusi-
asm over other recent reports that the pace
of buying has recently improved.
This is a softer report than expected and
suggests housing demand has stabilized in
recent quarters, as opposed to improving,
said Michael Gapen, an analyst at the bank
Barclays.
Amazon to buy video game
streaming platform Twitch
NEW YORK Amazon is hoping to
become the ESPN of video games.
The e-commerce giant is buying streaming
platform Twitch Interactive for $970 million
in cash as it seeks to take part in video gam-
ings growth as an online spectator sport.
The deal is an acknowledgment that game-
play video feeds are becoming increasingly
lucrative. Twitch had 55 million unique vis-
itors in July, most of whom went to the
Twitch.tv website to watch other people
play games -competitions interspersed with
advertising. Digital video advertising in the
U.S. is expected to reach $5.96 billion this
year, according to eMarketer, up 41.9 per-
cent from 2013.
Broadcasting and watching gameplay is
a global phenomenon and Twitch has built a
platform that brings together tens of mil-
lions of people who watch billions of min-
utes of games each month, said Amazon
CEO Jeff Bezos in a statement.
TiVo to make version
for those without cable
NEWYORK Heres a sign more house-
holds are going without cable or satellite
TV: TiVo Inc. is making a digital video
recorder just for so-called cord-cutters.
The TiVo Roamio OTAwill cost $50, com-
pared with $200 for the regular model. The
OTA version records free, over-the-air TV
signals and lacks slots for cable service
cards. For both models, you need a $15-a-
month subscription to TiVo service, which
provides programming data and other neces-
sities.
The OTAmodel will be available starting
Sept. 14 at select Best Buy stores.
A2013 study from GfK estimated that 19
percent of U.S. TV households had broad-
cast-only reception, up from 14 percent in
2010. Those gures include people who
have dropped cable and those who never had
it, something common for younger adults.
Sales of U.S. new
homes fall in July
By Candice Choi and Michelle Chapman
NEW YORK Some Burger King cus-
tomers are nding it hard to swallow that the
home of the Whopper could move to
Canada.
Investors seemed to welcome the
announcement by Burger King late Sunday
that it was in talks to buy Canadian coffee-
and-doughnut chain Tim Hortons and create
the worlds third-largest fast-food restaurant
company. The news pushed shares of both
companies up more than 20 percent.
But customers were already voicing their
discontent with the 60-year-old hamburger
chain because of its plans to relocate its cor-
porate headquarters to Canada in a deal that
could lower its taxes. By Monday after-
noon, Burger Kings Facebook page had
more than 1,000 mostly negative com-
ments about the potential deal.
Shawn Simpson, who hadnt heard of the
talks until approached by a reporter while he
was at a Burger King in New York City on
Monday afternoon, said he didnt like the
idea of the company paying its taxes to
another country.
For them to take their headquarters and
move it across the border is a negative for
me, said Simpson, 44, who was ordering a
Double Whopper and onion rings. Its an
American brand.
Arepresentative for Burger King, Miguel
Piedra, said while the headquarters of the
new company would be in Canada, Burger
King would still continue to be run out of
Miami. Piedra also said the comments on
Burger Kings Facebook page represent a
small fraction of the companys more than 7
million followers on the social media site.
Hard to swallow? Burger
King may move to Canada

boxers and Baby Face
Boxing will end the
month with a bang as
it presents Beautiful
Brawlers 4 at the

The Beautiful Brawlers series is the
brainchild of Blanca Gutierrez, co-owner of
the Baby Face Boxing gym in Pacica. It
is Gutierrezs way of bringing attention to
female boxing as all the cards for the
Beautiful Brawlers series have featured
female-only ghters.
Sundays card is the biggest one yet, fea-
turing 25 bouts broken up into three differ-
ent sessions beginning at 1 p.m. Jerry
Hoffman, a longtime boxing promoter and
media member who will serve as the ring
announcer, said there will be seven to
eight ghts per session, with very little
down time between ghts. The hope is to
have all 25 bouts done by 5 p.m.
Fighters from three nations the
United States, Canada and Puerto Rico
will participate, with ghters ranging in
age from 13 years old to adults.
This card will feature some of the best
female youth ghters in the country: 13-
year-old Heaven Garcia of El Molino, who
is a national champion, will face off
against Graciela Ortega, while 14-year-old
USANational Champion Lupe Gutierrez

Key returners
making Dons a
threat in Ocean
Beautiful Brawlers 4 closes strong month of boxing
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Every team likes to have a secret weapon
heading into a new season. Burlingame foot-
balls may just be starting quarterback Avery
Gindraux.
Folks obviously know who Gindraux is. In
his rst varsity go-around last season, he led
the Panthers to an undefeated regular-season
record in Peninsula Athletic League Ocean
Division play, just the sixth in school histo-
ry. What remains to be seen is how the teams
passing game will hold up this year with
Burlingame moving up to the Bay Division.
Now a senior, Gindraux threw the ball a total
of 89 times last season. With Burlingame
outscoring its opposition 500-73 in regular-
season play behind a trio of dynamic running
backs though, not only did Gindraux not have
to go to the air, often times it would have been
offensive if he did.
There wasnt really much of a need to open
it up offensively, Burlingame head coach
John Philipopoulos said. I think thats
going to be much different this year, playing a
Burlingame will
have to step up

Its always nice, if youre a football
coach, if you have some experience return-
ing on offense and defense.
The Aragon football team has that experi-
ence coming back in some units, but not so
much in other. As Steve Sell enters his 15th
season as the Dons head coach, hell have
to break in a new offensive backeld, but is
hoping a solid defense and strengths in
other areas of the offense will help ease the
growing pains.
Billy Mason (quarterback), Bubba
Tongamoa (fullback) and Curran Brandt
(running back) will all be rst-year starting
varsity players this season, but Sell doesnt
expect the learning curve to be too steep.
Mason served as Nat Bloods backup last
year and Sell likes his makeup.
Hes a football player. Hes a very good
athlete. Good on the rollout, Sell said of
Mason. Hes very accurate, very poised,
very condent. The kids believe in him.
There are a couple guys competing with
him, but its his job to lose.
Tongamoa sat out last season after trans-
ferring from Burlingame and he could give

Former Burlingame and Skyline College
standout Anthony Granato has been hired as
the new head coach of Sacred Heart Prep
baseball, it was announced Friday.
The position will be Granatos rst mana-
gerial post at the high school level. He has
owned and operated his own private base-
ball academy since 2011.
Granato will replace Gregg Franceschi,
who resigned the post in June. Franceschi
served as the Gators manager for seven
years, totaling a career record of 123-81 and
a 60-20 record in West Catholic Athletic
League play while leading SHP to the
Central Coast Section playoffs in each of
his seasons at the helm.
Granato accepted the job Thursday, after
submitting a resume approximately two
weeks previous. He interviewed with athlet-
ic director Brett Simon, assistant principal
Frank Rodriguez and his former Burlingame
Joe DiMaggio League coach, assistant ath-
letic director Tony Martinelli.
I had a great vibe and a
great conversation with
all three of them about
the program, about what
they were looking to do,
what they were hoping
Id be able to do for the
program, Granato said.
So, it all t pretty well.
A longtime playing
great and Toronto native,
Granatos local career started in Burlingame,
where he was a varsity shortstop at
Burlingame High School under former
Panthers manager Rich Sciutto. Out of high
school, Granato initially attended
Sacramento City College where he aspired
to pursue a career as a two-sport athlete in
football and baseball. After redshirting for
one season at Sac City however, he trans-
ferred to Skyline College where he enjoyed
a prestigious baseball career.
In two years with the Trojans playing for
manager Dino Nomicos, Granatos career
culminated in All-California honors after he
hit .519 in 2002 to win the California
Community College batting champi-
onship. He then transferred to Virginia
Commomwealth University, where he hit
.357 and slugged .554 as a senior third base-
man in 2004 and won the Colonial Athletic
Association stolen base crown with 44
steals.
As a fth-year senior, Granato signed his
rst professional contract with the Chicago
Cubs in 2004. Through two years in the
Cubs organization, he hit .268 over three
levels while playing for managers Tom
Breyers (Short-Season Boise), Julio Garcia
(Low-ALansing and Peoria) and Richie Zisk
(High-ADaytona). After his release from the
Cubs following the 2005 season, Granato
signed with the Colorado Rockies and
played one season at High-A Modesto for
manager Chad Kreuter.
Following his career in afliated base-
ball, Granato played four years of independ-
ent ball, highlighted by two years with the
Atlanta City Surf, pacing the team in hitting
in each the 2007 and 08 seasons. He also
played three seasons in the Italian Baseball
League and won the IBLChampionship with
San Marino in 2011, during which he earned
championship series MVP honors.
Representing Team Italy for several years
as well, Granatos international career cul-
minated in a roster spot with the World
Baseball Classic squad along with current
major leaguers Chris Denora, Nick Punto
and Anthony Rizzo. Granato paced Team
Italy with a .429 batting average (6 for 14)
through five games for manager Marco
Mazzieri.
In the offseason of 2011, Granato started
his own private baseball school, GamePrep
Baseball Academy. Initially operated out of
San Bruno, he now gives private instruction
at several roving sights, including The Cage
in Belmont. He has since grown the acade-
my to 60 players, encompassing four teams
13-and-under, 14U, 16U and 18U.
Since retiring from professional baseball
after the 2013 season, GamePrep has
become Granatos fulltime baby. And it was
this work which initially gave him appre-
hensions about taking a position as a high
school coach.
At the time, where I was at with my acad-
emy and what I was thinking, high school
baseball wasnt really something I was sure
I wanted to do, Granato said. It was main-
ly because, obviously as a high school
baseball coach you dont make a lot of
money or anything like that, and with my
academy, thats my livelihood. So, I didnt
want to do anything that would interfere.
After communicating with Martinelli,
however, Granato said he realized he was a
t for the Atherton-based private school.
Theres ambitious kids, theres kids with
big dreams and big desires, Granato said.
Those are the kinds of players that you
want to work with. You want to help them
bring their dreams and desires into fruition.
And if I could help them in baseball, learn-
ing some of those life lessons that will help
them going forward, its really rewarding.

HOUSTON Jeff Samardzija pitched
eight solid innings and Josh Donaldson
drove in three runs to lead the Oakland
Athletics over the Houston Astros 8-2
Monday night.
Samardzija (4-3) allowed six hits, two
runs and tied a season high with 10 strike-
outs to bounce back from a two-game skid in
which he yielded 11 runs combined. The
right-hander was 2-7 with the Chicago Cubs
before an early July trade.
Josh Reddick hit a two-run homer and
Donaldson had three hits after sitting out
Sunday with a knee injury. Donaldson dou-
bled twice for his rst extra-base hits and
RBIs in his last nine games.
Reddick's 10th home run sailed into the
seats in right eld to push Oakland's lead to
3-0 in the fourth.
Chris Carter hit an opposite-eld, two-run
homer in the eighth to pull the Astros with-
in one, but the A's added ve runs in the
ninth to extend the lead to 8-2.
Scott Feldman (7-10) allowed seven hits
and three runs in seven innings.The Astros
couldn't string anything together against
Samardzija through the rst seven innings.
They didn't have more than one hit in an
inning until the eighth, when Jose Altuve
singled before Carter's homer.
Houston reliever Tony Sipp, who had
allowed just 10 walks in his previous 41
innings, walked all four batters he faced in
the ninth to push Oakland's lead to 4-2.
Donaldson's bases-loaded double off Jose
Veras sent two more home, and Derek Norris
wrapped up the scoring with a two-run sin-
gle.
Eric Sogard doubled to start the third and
scored on Donaldson's rst hit a two-out
double to put Oakland up 1-0. Brandon
Moss singled in the fourth before Reddick
homered.
Carter's 31 home runs rank third in the
American League and his 18 homers and 44
RBIs since July 1 lead the majors. Altuve's
hit gave him 179 this season, which leads
the AL. The pair has carried Houston's
offense since the All-Star break while the
Astros have dealt with numerous injuries.
Trainers room
At hl et i cs: Manager Bob Melvin said
INF Nick Punto (hamstring) is making
progress and has been taking grounders.
Melvin didn't give a timetable on Punto's
return, but said he's "starting to see a light
at the end of the tunnel with him."
New catcher
Melvin said he'll probably start new
catcher Geovany Soto on Tuesday night and
put Norris at designated hitter. Soto was
acquired from Texas for cash on Sunday with
C John Jaso on the seven-day concussion
disabled list. Soto has appeared in only 10
games this season after starting the year on
the disabled list following knee surgery in
March before another stint on the DL
because of a groin injury.
Up next
Oakland RHP Jason Hammel is scheduled
to start Tuesday after his previous turn in the
rotation was skipped because of two off
days last week. Hammel is 1-5 with a 6.75
ERAin seven starts since being traded from
the Cubs on July 5.
Houston LHP Dallas Keuchel looks for his
rst win since July 30.

SAN FRANCISCO Rookie Tyler Matzek
struck out seven in seven innings to end a
ve-start losing streak, and the Colorado
Rockies capitalized on San Franciscos mis-
takes to beat the Giants 3-2 on Monday night.
The Rockies have won four straight games
in San Francisco for the rst time in club his-
tory, kicking off a stretch of 13 straight
games against the NLWest with an impressive
victory.
In his 14th major league start and rst fac-
ing the Giants, Matzek (3-9) won for the rst
time since beating Pittsburgh on July 26 and
recorded his rst victory versus the division.
The left-hander won away from Coors Field for
the rst time in eight road appearances and
seven starts after beginning 0-5.
Matzek outdueled Jake Peavy (2-4), who had
won his previous two starts following three
straight losses after being acquired in a trade
from Boston on July 26.
Justin Morneau and Corey Dickerson hit
sacrice ies for the Rockies, who earned just
their fourth road win in 27 games since sweep-
ing a three-game series at AT&T Park from
June 13-15.
San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy was
ejected in the eighth by plate umpire Doug
Eddings for arguing a called third strike on
Buster Posey. Bochy removed his hat in frus-
tration from the dugout and got tossed before
he even got out to argue. He left to chants of
Bochy! Bochy!
Adam Ottavino pitched a scoreless eighth
and LaTroy Hawkins nished for his 21st save
in 22 opportunities.
Colorado tied it in the fourth following con-
secutive wild throws for errors by shortstop
Brandon Crawford, then Peavy's balk that
scored a run. Crawford's 20 errors lead the
majors at his position.
Andrew Susac homered for the Giants, who
missed a chance at their rst three-game home
winning streak since taking ve straight from
May 28-June 8.
They saved a run on replay review in the
seventh.
Bochy challenged that D.J. LeMahieu beat
Susacs tag on a close play at the plate. Right
elder Hunter Pence threw home on Charlie
Blackmons two-out single.
The call was overturned in 2 minutes, 48
seconds, ending the inning.

the Dons what it seems they have featured
every year of Sells tenure: a big, bruising
back who can run over people, but who has
enough speed and quickness to run past
defenses as well.
Hes a combination of power, speed and
quickness, Sell said.
Brandt played mostly defense last season,
but will be the Dons starter at halfback this
year.
When the Dons arent running the ball,
Mason will have a number of weapons to
throw to, starting with arguably the teams
biggest playmaker in Kono Filimoehala-
Egan, who burst on the scene last season.
Filimoehala-Egan has the speed to run with
defensive backs, the size to shield them off
and the power to run through them.
Joining him in the receiving corps are Ty
Stokman, Devin Grant and Chad Franquez,
who are also all returning to Aragons defen-
sive backeld.
At a time when everyone passes so much,
Im very pleased we have our entire second-
ary returning, Sell said. Thats good.
Sell is also pleased to have some beef on
the offensive and defensive lines. James
Fononga returns as the starting tight end
and he will team with David Raffo and
Edmund Muller to give what Sell calls a
good tight side of the offensive line.
You feel good about having one, good
solid side (of an offensive line), Sell said.
Sell said Fononga, at 6-2, 240 pounds, is
a legitimate college prospect.
Sell is really high on sophomore, 6-2,
215-pound lineman Tomaslav Medan, who,
while listed as a two-way lineman, expects
to play mostly one way, on offense.
He is athletic, big, strong. Hes going to
be a great one, Sell said. Im excited about
him. I think hes going to be really, really
good.
We have some big kids up front.
Like most high school teams, Sell said
the biggest key to success is staying
healthy and, at the same time, making sure
he has quality backups for his starters.
Every substitute is only one play away from
being in the game and Sell said it can be a
challenge to get guys on the bench to under-
stand how important their role on the team
i s.
Coaching your backups becomes so crit-
ical, Sell said. You could lose a [starter]
for two weeks. Youd better have a guy who
can come in and help win a game.

division up, obviously.
Generally regarded as Bay Division-caliber
team, Burlingame spent one season in the
Ocean Division at the request of
Philipopoulos. The Panthers were coming off
a 5-6 overall record in 2012 and were graduat-
ing a majority of its roster. This year is not
much different, with 16 seniors on its 40-man
roster.
With an experienced interior offensive line
though, including 6-4, 205-pound senior
guard Grant James, the Panthers not only have
the strength to transition back to the upper
division, but they look to have the talent to
allow their skill players to ourish. And with
plenty of depth to take over in the backeld,
Burlingame entered into its double-days with a
fairly concrete idea of its ground-game person-
nel from the outset.
Running back Grifn Intrieri enters the sea-
son as the spotlight rusher. At 5-7, 155
pounds, the senior team captain has over-
achiever written all over him. He has already
achieved much though, ranking third on the
team with seven touchdowns as a reserve back
last season.
Grifn is extremely fast, Philipopoulos
said. Hes got great vision. Hes a guy whos
a little shorter in stature, but has a good com-
bination of speed and power as well. He has the
ability to stop on a dime and change direction.
Hes going to be a difference maker.
While Intrieri will be counted upon to do
more than merely pound the ball into the end
zone this season, Philipopoulos has plenty of
weapons at his disposal in order to keep
opposing defenses guessing. Junior Laipeli
Palu and senior Duran Andrade tabbed 20 or
more carries apiece last season. But the run-
ning back about whom Philipopoulos is most
excited is 5-11, 220-pound junior Chi Le Tang.
Hes a bruiser, Philipopoulos said. Hes
one of the fastest kids on the team.
The backeld depth should also serve the
defense well. The Panthers are depending on a
lot of two-way players to shine on defense,
centering around inside linebackers Palu and 5-
11, 205-pound senior Tommy Dryden. Both
returning starters, they are described by
Philipopoulos as true football players.
Good readers, good tacklers, and they just
play with an edge, Philipopoulos said.
Burlingame will have no bigger challenge
this season than overcoming its lopsided
schedule though. With its home eld undergo-
ing a makeover since the outset of summer
break to replace the bleachers, Burlingame
scheduled its rst six games this year on the
road. With construction expected to be com-
pleted by Oct. 10, the Panthers home opener
isnt until Oct. 24 against powerhouse Terra
Nova.
As the saying goes though, if it aint broke.
Burlingame played its rst three games on
the road last season, tabbing a 3-0 record with
two shutouts a 45-0 win at Mountain View
to open the year and a 51-0 victory at South
City.
Now, Gindraux is looking to prove he is
ready to shoulder the more complex offense
needed to persevere in the Bay Division. The
6-foot senior has come a long way. Having
never played Pop Warner football as a kid, he
only debuted on the tackle football eld as a
freshman. And he entered last season having
previously played with only six of his team-
mates.
Coming in as a junior, I denitely felt like
I had something to prove last year, Gindraux
said. Id never played with any of those kids
(from) last year. I knew they knew who I
was, but I denitely had something to prove.
And I denitely feel like I have something to
prove to these new guys.
Gindraux certainly seems to have a believer
in his head coach.
Hes a very intelligent young man,
Philipopoulos said. Hes very cognitive in
the way he approaches the game. Hes got a
great arm. He can run. I think hes going to be
one of the better quarterbacks in the county.

Struggling Lincecum
moved into Giants bullpen
SAN FRANCISCO Right-hander Tim
Lincecum has been moved to the San
Francisco Giants bullpen as he tries to
work through his latest struggles.
Yusmeiro Petit will replace him in the
rotation, manager Bruce Bochy said
Monday. Bochy met with Lincecum (10-9)
on Sunday about the decision.
Lincecum, the two-time NL Cy Young
Award winner, is coming off the second-
shortest start of his career Saturday at
Washington. He was tagged for six runs,
four earned, on six hits with four walks in 2
2-3 innings.
The 30-year-old Lincecum has experience
pitching in relief, going 1-1 during the
teams 2012 run to its second World Series
title in three years. He pitched the Game 5
World Series clincher at Texas in 2010 as
the franchise won its rst championship
since moving West in 1958.
Sports brief
Diekroeger sets new
State College record
With another 1-for-5 night,
Danny Diekroeger extended his
hitting streak to 19 games, set-
ting the all-time State College
record for hitting safely in consec-
utive games.
Diekroegers magic swing of the
bat came at Mahoning Valley in
the fourth inning when the left-
handed swinging Menlo School
alum reached on an ineld single
to shortstop. State College went
on to win 4-3 to improve their
record to 42-27 after clinching the
New York-Penn League Pinckney
Division title Saturday night.
A Short-Season afliate of the
St. Louis Cardinals, State College
was previously an afliate of the
Pittsburgh Pirates from 2007-12.
It was during that time when Brian
Friday set the previous record with
an 18-game hitting streak in
2007. State College was previous-
ly a Cardinals afliate from 1981-
2006. It has been a minor league
town to 1958.
Diekroegers current hitting
streak started Aug. 2, since which
time he has a .310 batting average
(26 for 84). He has tabbed 1-for-5
batting lines in his last three
games. On the year, he has a .283
average. He was drafted by the
Cards in the 10th round out of
Stanford in June.
Balotelli signs with Liverpool
Liverpool signed Italy striker
Mario Balotelli from AC Milan for
16 million pounds ($26.5 million)
on Monday, taking a calculated
gamble on a headline-grabbing
player known as much for his con-
troversies as his goals.
Liverpool has been looking to
strengthen its strikeforce after
selling Suarez to Barcelona for
$130 million but left it to the last
week of the transfer window to
secure one of the summers most
high-prole and intriguing sign-
ings.

weekend, falling to visiting Eastern
Oregon, 45-27.
The Oaks played well at times
offensively, piling up 374 yards of total
offense. That was offset, however, by three
turnovers.
Menlo played Eastern Oregon even
through the rst three quarters. The Oaks
trailed 16-14 at halftime and, after watch-
ing Eastern Oregon drive the eld to score
a touchdown on its rst drive of the second
half, Menlo scored the next 13 points to
take a 27-23 lead with 2:35 left in the third
quarter.
Eastern Oregon scored 22 unanswered
points in the fourth quarter, however, to
come away with the win.
Menlo quarterback Wade Hawkins com-
pleted 19 of 34 passes for 235 yards with a
touchdown. He also rushed 47 yards for
another score.
Senior wide receiver Brandon Soohoo
had a big game for the Oaks, pulling down
nine passes for 143 yards.
Eastern Oregon quarterback was 23 for 33
for 391 yards passing as his team racked up
561 yards of offense.
The Oaks will be home again this week-

throwing elbow that has lingered through-
out the preseason.

dent he will be healthy
enough to start the sea-
son opener Sept. 7

of it, Schaub said. It just got to a point
where we need to gure out what is really
happening and just take care of it.
Schaub said he has never dealt with this
kind of soreness in his right elbow before
but said he had no concerns that it would
impact him this year.
Schaub has struggled so far in the exhibi-
tion season, leading the Raiders to just two
scores in 15 drives as hes failed to show
that last years rough season in Houston was
an aberration.
Schaub has completed just 51 percent of
his passes this preseason and is averaging
only 4.6 yards per attempt as he struggles to
get the ball downeld. Schaub has complet-
ed just 2 of 13 pass attempts more than 10
yards past the line of scrimmage in three
games but did not blame the elbow for that.
It hasnt really affected it, he said. Its
just bothersome. Its something I noticed
and its something that I just want to take
care of and get out of the way.
Allen said the issues with the rst-team
passing game are much deeper than just the
quarterback, making it harder to get xed.
That task only becomes more difcult with
Schaub missing key practice time less than
two weeks before the season opener.
Obviously thats something youd like
to have, but youve got to have a little bit of
foresight in getting ready for the opening
game, and thats whats the most critical,
Allen said. These preseason games are try-
ing to prepare you for that. But ultimately,
the true test is where are you at on opening
day, and thats where our focus is.
The Raiders had been hoping Schaub
could return to the level he reached earlier in
his career in Houston when he posted ve
straight seasons with a passer rating of at
least 90 and had three 4,000-yard passing
seasons from 2008-12.
He dropped off signicantly last season
when he set an NFL record by having an
interception returned for a touchdown in
four straight games and lost his starting job
to Case Keenum.

NEWYORK Spinning in 70 mph second
serves, grabbing at his hamstring during
points, Andy Murray gritted his way through
head-to-toe cramps to win at the U.S. Open.
Murray outlasted Robin Haase 6-3, 7-6 (6),
1-6, 7-5 in the rst round Monday during an
afternoon that was hot but not particularly
humid. He was mystied that the cramps came
on so early at the start of the third set after
only about an hour and a half on court.
When it starts to kind of go everywhere,
you dont know exactly where its going to
creep up next, he said. When you stretch one
muscle, something else then cramps, too.
It started in the back of his left shoulder,
then quickly spread to his forearm. The right-
handed Murray couldnt toss the ball high
enough to get any pace on his serves.
Between points, hed twist his body to awk-
wardly stretch his left side. After hitting a win-
ner, hed reach for his quad.
Murray was twice down a break in the fourth
set, but the 70th-ranked Haase unraveled with
a string of unforced errors. He wasted three
break points in the nal game, when a missed
call also cost him.
Haase, also bothered by some cramping,
said he didnt eat and drink enough beforehand
because of an earlier-than-expected start the
rst match on Louis Armstrong Stadium lasted
just 47 minutes.
But Murray didnt think dehydration was his
problem, indicating he didnt have any gas-
trointestinal problems.
Serving for the fourth set at 5-3, Haase dou-
ble-faulted on break point to allow Murray to
get back on serve. Murray then went up 6-5
when he took Haases second serve high and
whacked a forehand winner.
With Murray trying to serve out the match,
Haase smacked a deep return on his second
break point that might have won him the
game. But the ball was called out, and after it
was overturned on review, they had to replay
the point. This time, Haase hit a volley into
the net.
Ninth-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga also need-
ed four sets to beat Juan Monaco 6-3, 4-6, 7-6
(2), 6-1. Nick Kyrgios the Australian teen
who stunned Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon
came back from three code violations, just one
outburst away from default, in a 7-5, 7-6 (4), 2-
6, 7-6 (1) upset of 21st-seeded Mikhail
Youzhny.
Third-seeded Stan Wawrinka and fth-seeded
Milos Raonic both advanced in straight sets.
Maria Sharapova and Novak Djokovic were
to play under the lights at Arthur Ashe Stadium
in the rst night session of the years last
Grand Slam tournament.
Earlier, Venus Williams, 34, beat 43-year-
old Kimiko Date-Krumm 2-6, 6-3, 6-3. The
combined age of 77 was believed to be the old-
est for a womens Grand Slam pairing, the
WTAsaid.
Along with the 19th-seeded Williams, 21st-
seeded American Sloane Stephens also
advanced by routing Annika Beck.
Second-ranked Simona Halep rallied from a
set down for a 6-7 (2), 6-1, 6-2 victory over
20-year-old Danielle Rose Collins, who was
playing her rst main draw match at a tour-
level event. As a sophomore at Virginia, an
unseeded Collins won the NCAAtitle to earn a
wild card into the U.S. Open.

Evidence on potential dangers for teens who get too little sleep is extremely compellingand
includes depression,suicidal thoughts,obesity,poor performance in school and on standardized
tests and car accidents from drowsy driving.
By Lindsey Tanner
CHICAGO Pediatricians have a new
prescription for schools: later start times
for teens.
Delaying the start of the school day until
at least 8:30 a.m. would help curb their lack
of sleep, which has been linked with poor
health, bad grades, car crashes and other
problems, the American Academy of
Pediatrics says in a new policy.
The inuential group says teens are espe-
cially at risk; for them, chronic sleep loss
has increasingly become the norm.
Studies have found that most U.S. students
in middle school and high school dont get
the recommended amount of sleep 8 1/2
to 9 1/2 hours on school nights; and that
most high school seniors get an average of
less than seven hours.
More than 40 percent of the nations pub-
lic high schools start classes before 8 a.m.,
according to government data cited in the
policy. And even when the buzzer rings at 8
a.m., school bus pickup times typically
mean kids have to get up before dawn if they
want that ride.
The issue is really cost, said Kristen
Amundson, executive director of the
National Association of State Boards of
Education.
School buses often make multiple runs
each morning for older and younger stu-
dents. Adding bus drivers and rerouting
buses is one of the biggest nancial obsta-
cles to later start times, Amundson said. The
roughly 80 school districts that have adopt-
ed later times tend to be smaller, she said.
After-school sports are another often-
cited obstacle because a later dismissal
delays practices and games. The shift may
also cut into time for homework and after-
school jobs, Amundson said.
The policy, aimed at middle schools and
high schools, was published online

Monday in the journal Pediatrics.
Evidence on potential dangers for teens
who get too little sleep is extremely com-
pelling and includes depression, suicidal
thoughts, obesity, poor performance in
school and on standardized tests and car
accidents from drowsy driving, said Dr.
Judith Owens, the policys lead author and
director of sleep medicine at Childrens
National Medical Center in Washington,
D.C.
The policy cites studies showing that
delaying start times can lead to more
nighttime sleep and improve students
motivation in class and mood. Whether
there are broader, long-term benefits
requires more research, the policy says.
Many administrators support the idea
but havent resolved the challenges, said
Amundson. She said the pediatricians new
policy likely will have some influence.
Parents seeking a change will come
now armed with this report, Amundson
said.
SCHOOL
It spread so fast. I couldnt even grab my
purse or my medicine, Bertuldo said. It
scared me but it started small so I tried to put
it out with a glass of water, but it went real-
ly fast.
Bertuldos apartment was completely
destroyed and now uninhabitable, and two
other units next to and below hers also sus-
tained damage, Maupin said.
Power could not be disconnected from just
the three affected apartments so all of the
residents were evacuated and sent to hotels
or to stay with others for the night, Maupin
said.
Red Cross, which has assisted displaced
residents from all three Redwood City res,
helped arrange temporary housing for the
Regent Court residents. Jim Holley, a case-
worker with the Red Cross, said volunteers
are assisting with arranging stipends, med-
ication and housing for those who will be
displaced longer.
But its not only the clothing and furni-
ture, its pictures and medications all kinds
of things. Its very traumatic for them to go
through a re, Holley said.
Most residents were allowed back in
Monday to retrieve essential belongings and
those whose apartments were furthest from
Bertuldos are hopeful they may be allowed
to return soon, said Pat Civiletti, whos
lived at Regent Court for nearly 25 years.
I just felt really lucky, because there were
a lot of children that were almost trapped,
Civiletti said. At least no one got hurt.
Civiletti said as tragic as Sundays re was
for her friend Bertuldo, their smaller com-
plex was more fortunate than the two recent
Woodside Road apartment res.
On July 7, 2013, a six-alarm re broke out
at the Hallmark House Apartments, killing
one and leaving nearly 100 homeless. On
Oct. 17, a six-alarm fire destroyed the
Terrace Apartments and displaced 60 resi-
dents; one who had also lost her home in the
Hallmark House re.
The fact that they were so close together
is quite honestly a coincidence, theres
nothing connecting those res, Maupin
said. The fact that there were no sprinklers
in all of them, obviously is a huge issue for
us and were literally in the middle right
now, trying to nd ways to assist the prop-
erty owners to gure out how they can afford
to retrot their buildings with sprinklers.
Maupin said he and Fire Chief Jim Skinner
met with the states re marshal to discuss
ways to encourage property owners to
install these critical safety features. Short
of changing the building code, which could
be extremely costly for property owners, it
may be challenging to incentivize landlords
to make the investment, Maupin said.
Whether its helping [property owners]
gure out ways to get grants or maybe some
tax relief, theres a myriad of ways were
looking at, Maupin said. We dont know
the viability of any of them, so were also
looking at some programs across the coun-
try to see if theyd work here.
FIRE
(In the past) Its tended to go down and
been somewhat less of whats predicted
because some of the expenses dont get
expensed, said Trustee Peter Hanley. I would
imagine therell likely to be some decit still
that the district has.
Meanwhile, the nancial impacts of the
brand new Design Tech High School, located
on Mills High Schools campus, on the dis-
trict are still unknown. The districts Board of
Trustees delayed a vote until September on
giving a $150,000 grant to Design Tech, or
d.tech, but board members are still concerned
about the schools effect on the district. The
school opened for classes last week.
If youre going to encroach on the reserve,
it should be for the neediest students, said
board President Linda Lees Dwyer. I denite-
ly have concerns about d.tech making that
(the decit) worse. Unless we nd out for cer-
tain, theres a way to recoup the costs of out-
side students, that is going to be an encroach-
ment in our general fund. The decit is
always a concern because things come up that
arent budgeted for, she said.
Until we know what their (d.techs) true
cost to our district for students from our dis-
trict, would I even consider it. I dont see a rea-
son to give them any money; they have a lot
of grant money they received and I dont
understand where its gone to.
Eighty students who plan to enter d.tech are
from within the district, while 55 are from
outside the district. The district could lose
$429,550 minimum for costs associated with
the new school. Still, its not clear how state
funds will play into funding the school. The
Sequoia Union High School District, which
has 18 students slated to attend d.tech, will
reimburse San Mateo Union for costs associ-
ated with its students if the student remains
enrolled for the entire year. The South San
Francisco Unied School District, with 10
projected students attending d.tech, is not
interested in reimbursing the district for its
students costs.
Although there is a budget shortfall, the
district is nancially stable thanks, in large
part, to a healthy reserve, positive forecasts
in property taxes and prudent spending
throughout the organization, said district
spokeswoman Sheri Costa-Batis.
We practice responsible nancial plan-
ning, and we sometimes nd that we underes-
timate the amount of dollars coming in to
support education, she wrote in an email.
We will know more specics as to how we
can continue our nancial stability going for-
ward when Gov. Brown shares the state budg-
et in January. At that time, we can see the
impact on education from a state perspective
and plan accordingly.
The districts full 2014-15 budget is avail-
able on the district website.

During the ensuing search, police learned
the suspect was hiding in a residence on North
Claremont Street. Police said the North
County Regional SWATTeam was brought in
to help take the suspect into custody.
The SWATteam served a warrant at the res-
ident and took the suspect, identied as
Enoc Carlos Gonzalez, 18, of East Palo
Alto, into custody without incident.
He was arrested on suspicion of attempted
murder.

MONROVIA, Liberia A Liberian doctor who received
one of the last known doses of an experimental Ebola drug
has died, ofcials said Monday. Separately, Canada said it
has yet to send out an untested vaccine that the government
is donating.
Ebola has left more than 1,400 people dead across West
Africa, underscoring the urgency for developing potential
ways to stop and treat the disease. However, health experts
warn these drugs and vaccines have not undergone the rigor-
ous testing that usually takes place before they are used.
The experimental vaccines are at still at a Canadian labo-
ratory, said Patrick Gaebel, spokesman for the Public
Health Agency of Canada, who declined to speculate how
many weeks it could be before those are given to volun-
teers.
We are now working with the (World Health
Organization) to address complex regulatory, logistical and
ethical issues so that the vaccine can be safely and ethical-
ly deployed as rapidly as possible, Gaebel said.
Earlier this month, Canada said it would donate 800 to
1,000 doses of an Ebola vaccine that it developed. Likely
candidates include health care workers treating Ebola
patients.
The experimental drug known as ZMapp has been tried in
only six people. Health experts caution that since ZMapp
was never tested in humans, it is unclear whether it works.
The small supply is now said to be exhausted and it is
expected to be months before more can be produced.
Dr. Abraham Borbor, the deputy chief medical doctor at
Liberias largest hospital, had received ZMapp, along with
two other Liberians. He was showing signs of improve-
ment but yesterday he took a turn for the worse, and died
Sunday, Information Minister Lewis Brown told the
Associated Press.
There was no update provided Monday on the other two
Liberians who received the drug.
Earlier, it had been given to two Americans aid workers
and a Spanish missionary priest, who died after he left
Liberia. After receiving rigorous medical care in the U.S.,
the Americans survived the virus that has killed about half
of its victims.
Ebola can cause a grisly death with bleeding from the
eyes, mouth and ears. The virus can only be transmitted
through direct contact with the bodily uids of the sick or
from touching victims bodies, leaving doctors and other
health care workers most vulnerable to contracting it.
International relief efforts have included shipments of
gloves, gowns, face masks and other protective equipment,
although its not clear how many have reached health work-
ers struggling to contain the epidemic in West Africa, where
even such basics as sterile uids can be in short supply.
But just getting enough gear isnt the whole story: Health
workers can infect themselves while taking off contaminat-
ed equipment if they dont do it properly, a trio of infectious
disease experts wrote Monday in Annals of Internal
Medicine.
The physical exhaustion and emotional fatigue that
come with caring for patients infected with Ebola may fur-
ther increase the chance of an inadvertent exposure to bodi-
ly uids on the outside of the personal protective equip-
ment, wrote Dr. William A. Fisher II of the University of
North Carolina, Chapel Hill, along with Drs. Trish Perl and
Noreen Hynes of Johns Hopkins University.

Heart group: E-cigarettes
might help smokers quit
By Marilynn Marchione
The American Heart Associations rst policy statement
on electronic cigarettes backs them as a last resort to help
smokers quit. The American Cancer Society has no formal
policy but quietly took a similar stance in May.
Both groups express great concern about these popular
nicotine-vapor products and urge more regulation, especial-
ly to keep them away from youth. They also stress that
proven smoking cessation methods should always be tried
rst.
But if those fail, it is reasonable to have a conversation
about e-cigarettes, said the Heart Associations president,
Dr. Elliott Antman. The Cancer Society said e-cigarettes
may be a reasonable option for people who could not quit
after trying counseling and approved methods, such as nico-
tine patches.
Neither group recommends e-cigarettes for smoking ces-
sation, and makers of the devices do not market them that
way.
E-cigarettes are battery-powered devices that vaporize
nicotine. Theyve been sold in the U.S. since 2007 and now
have millions of users worldwide and nearly $2 billion in
annual sales. They contain less toxic substances than tradi-
tional cigarettes do, but little is known about their health
effects.
Whether they help or hurt anti-smoking efforts is hotly
debated. Some say they encourage smoking by letting peo-
ple maintain their habit in places where cigarettes are
banned. Others say they are a less risky way to satisfy a
nicotine craving for people who want to quit, similar to how
methadone is used to curb heroin abuse.
This concept, called harm reduction, is probably the
most important and the most contentious issue that the
tobacco community is dealing with right now, said Tom
Glynn, who recently retired as the Cancer Societys top sci-
entist on the e-cigarette issue.
No solid evidence shows that e-cigarettes aid smoking
cessation unlike the nicotine patches, gums and medica-
tions approved now.
We need hard-nosed regulation for e-cigarettes and we
need more research, Glynn said, but mostly, we need to
have people stop smoking combustible cigarettes.
The Heart Association stressed the toll 20 million
deaths in the U.S. alone from tobacco use over the last 50
years.
We are ercely committed to preventing the tobacco
industry from addicting another generation of smokers,
says a statement from the associations chief executive,
Nancy Brown.
Besides nicotine a highly addictive chemical no mat-
ter what form it comes in some e-cigarettes form other
products such as formaldehyde, a carcinogen, Antman said.
There are many things we see as dark clouds on the hori-
zon about e-cigarettes effects on blood vessels and sec-
ondhand exposure, especially to pregnant women, he said.

firearm will not deter an individual
from committing impulsive acts of
violence with a separate rearm that is
already in his or her possession, he
said in his ruling.
Californians buying their first
rearm will still have to undergo back-
ground checks and the 10-day waiting
period under the judges 56-page rul-
ing, dated Friday.
Ishii delayed the effective date of his
order for six months to give the state
time to appeal or the Legislature time
to adopt new rules. For instance, he
suggested lawmakers might want to
change state law to allow law enforce-
ment ofcials to delay the delivery of
a rearm if they have reason to suspect
that the buyer intends to illegally
pass on the weapon to someone else.
A spokesman for the state attorney
general, Nick Pacilio, said Monday
that ofcials are reviewing the ruling
as they decide whether to appeal. He
declined further comment.
Two gun owners and two gun-owner
rights groups, The Calguns
Foundation and Second Amendment
Foundation, sued over the state wait-
ing period in 2011.
Jeff Silvester, one of the gun owners
who sued, said in a statement that
Ishiis ruling is a great win for
Second Amendment civil rights and
common sense.
Jonathan Lowy, director of the
Legal Action Project of the Brady
Center to Prevent Gun Violence, said
the ruling is narrow but still goes too
far.
Theres still justication to have
some delay before somebody can accu-
mulate an arsenal, even if they
already own a weapon, Lowy said.
Courts should not be second-guess-
ing the judgment of the Legislature.
The decision comes as California
lawmakers consider additional
rearms legislation after an attack in
May that left six people, including the
student attacker, dead in Isla Vista,
near the University of California,
Santa Barbara.
AB1014 would make California the
first state to let family members,
licensed therapists and health care
providers ask a judge to take rearms
from someone who has shown signs
that they could harm others or them-
selves. SB505 would require law
enforcement officers to check state
rearms records as part of routine wel-
fare checks.
GUN BILL
By Lynn Elber
LOS ANGELES Modern Family
and Breaking Bad triumphed at
Mondays Emmy Awards, proving that
established broadcast and cable fare
retains the power to fend off chal-
lenges from upstart online series such
as Orange Is the New Black.
The ceremonys emotional high
point came with Billy Crystals
restrained and graceful remembrance of
Robin Williams, who died Aug. 11 by
suicide.
He made us laugh. Hard. Every time
you saw him, Crystal said of Williams
at the conclusion of a tribute to indus-
try members who died within the past
12 months. Robin Williams, what a
concept.
ABCs Modern Family won a fth
best comedy series Emmy, tying the
record set by Frasier, while the nal
season of AMCs Breaking Bad cap-
tured the top drama award and a trio of
acting honors for its stars.
Netixs freshman Orange Is the
New Black, which competed for best
comedy series despite its dark prison
setting, failed to sway Emmy voters,
as did Netflixs sophomore series
House of Cards.
Bryan Cranston was honored as best
actor in a drama for Breaking Bad,
proving that True Detective nominee
Matthew McConaugheys movie-star
appeal couldnt conquer all.
I have gratitude for everything that
has happened, Cranston said. His vic-
tory ties him with four-time best drama
actor champ Dennis Franz. Cranstons
co-stars Aaron Paul and Anna Gunn
were honored in categories for best
drama supporting acting,
Thank you for this wonderful
farewell to our show, Breaking Bad
creator Vince Gilligan said of the
series about a teacher-turned-drug
kingpin that ended with a bang.
Abroadcast win was scored by ABCs
The Good Wife star Julianna
Margulies, honored as best lead actress
in a drama series. What a wonderful
time for women on television,
Margulies said.
McConaughey was the object of too-
handsome jokes by presenter Jimmy
Kimmel and adoration by winner Gail
Mancuso, honored as best director for
an episode of Modern Family. It was
one of the better gags of the night.
If you dont mind, Matthew
McConaughey, Im gonna make eye
contact with you right now, she said
from the stage, making good by hold-
ing the actors gaze for much of her
speech.
The ceremony honoring the best of
TV wasnt shy about playing the
movie-star card. Six minutes to
Woody Harrelson ashed on screen
during Colin Buckseys acceptance
speech for best miniseries direction
for Fargo.
Harrelson and his True Detective
co-star were given time to banter
before announcing that Benedict
Cumberbatch of Sherlock: His Last
Vow was the winner of the best minis-
eries actor award.
So you won Oscar, (People maga-
zines) Sexiest Man Alive and now you
want an Emmy, too. Isnt that a little
bit greedy? Harrelson teased his fel-
low nominee.

HOLY MOLE
PEARLS BEFORE SWINE
GET FUZZY
TUESDAY, AUGUST 26, 2014
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You will be on an
emotional roller coaster, so slow down and take stock
of things. Stick to simple, practical plans and keep
your decision-making to a minimum.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Conicts with authority
gures should be avoided. You can promote your ideas
with condence, but dont force your opinion on others.
Use intelligence and mindfulness to get your way.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Its time to introduce
some passion and pizzazz into your personal life. Plan
to spend an exhilarating evening with the person you
enjoy being with most.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Someone is
withholding information from you. Take precautions to
prevent a broken promise from becoming costly. You
are best to avoid joint ventures. Go it alone or opt out.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Others will fall
under your spell today. Take this opportunity to market
your abilities and ideas. The support you gain will help
you formulate your next move.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Residential
improvements or renovations can result in an
unexpected nancial gain. Your sense of satisfaction
and your comfort level will improve, along with your
standard of living.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Compromise will
be the order of the day. Rather than invest time and
energy in a battle of wills, agree to disagree for the
sake of harmony.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your intuition will lead
to a life-changing business venture. Demonstrate your
talents to as many interested parties as you can, and a
window of opportunity will open.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You may be surprised
at the information you discover by merely observing
what other people do or say. Studying the way people
interact can give you insight into your own behavior.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Dont assume you
know what is best for everyone. There is bound to
be a clashing of wills if you try to decree what others
should or should not do.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Consider everything
you are currently doing, and pinpoint whats most
important to you. Revisiting an old goal or partnership
can bring new light to an old situation. Its time to
prioritize and make amends.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A conservative approach to a
moneymaking venture will turn out in your favor. If you
want to climb the ladder of success, you have to do it
one step at a time. Be patient.

WORLD 28
By Jim Kuhnhenn and Ryan Lucas
WASHINGTON As the U.S. mourned an
American journalist beheaded by Islamic
militants, the nation found something of a
reprieve with the release of another freelance
reporter who had been held hostage for near-
ly two years by an al-Qaida-linked group in
Syria.
Peter Theo Curtis, who
wrote under his birth name
of Theo Padnos, was freed
Sunday, offering consola-
tion to U.S. ofcials, a
journalism community
and family members
deeply unnerved by the
grisly video of James
Foleys beheading in a
desolate desert landscape.
Curtis father, Michael Padnos, said Curtis
spoke to his mother in Boston Sunday night
and that he seemed to be in good physical
health.
Padnos said his son was in Tel Aviv and
would be own back to Boston once he is
ready to travel. Padnos praised the work of
the U.S. and other governments in getting
his son freed.
We are very thrilled, and we hope the same
thing is going to be true for all the others
(journalists held), said Padnos, speaking in
a telephone interview from a boat outside
Paris.
Curtis release appeared to have been aided
by the oil-rich nation of Qatar, which said
Sunday that it had exerted relentless efforts
to win the Americans freedom. Qatar is a
leading supporter of the Syrian rebels ght-
ing to oust President Bashar Assad and has
been involved in mediating past hostage
releases.
American held in Syria freed after nearly two years
By Mstyslav Chernov
KRASNODON, Ukraine For several
evenings this month, convoys of military
weaponry passed with clockwork-like regu-
larity through Krasnodon, a rebel-held town
in eastern Ukraine near the porous border
with Russia.
The convoys were seen three times last
week by Associated Press reporters, and one
of them carried about 30 units of weaponry
and supplies. All were coming from the
direction of Russia and heading west to
where pro-Moscow separatists were ght-
ing Ukrainian troops.
One rebel ghter described how easy it
was to cross into Ukraine through a
Russian-controlled frontier post in a con-
voy that included a tank, adding that the
border ofcer appeared unfazed at the deadly
cargo.
NATO and Ukraine have accused Moscow
of covertly shuttling heavy artillery and
other weapons to the separatists allega-
tions that Russia routinely denies. NATO
says since mid-August, those weapons have
been red from both inside Ukraine and
from Russian territory.
Asafe distance from the shelling that has
scarred other areas of the separatist Luhansk
region, Krasnodon acts as a hub to supply
the rebels with weapons and for getting
much-needed humanitarian supplies to resi-
dents.
The town of 40,000 people is only 9
miles from the border. Residents venture out
in the morning to buy groceries, but the
streets are empty by evening. Only rebels
sit and drink at the few bars still open.
Alexander Zakharchenko, the leader of
the largest rebel-controlled city, Donetsk,
said earlier this month that his forces were
being bolstered by 1,200 fighters who
underwent training in Russia. He said the
ghters have 150 armored vehicles, includ-
ing 30 tanks, and have gathered near a cor-
ridor along the Russian border.
When asked about the military hardware,
Zakharchenko insisted it was all taken from
Ukrainian forces in battle a notion
scoffed at by the Ukrainian government.
On three evenings between Aug. 19 and
Aug. 23, AP reporters saw large convoys of
military hardware pass through Krasnodon
from areas near the Russian border and head
north and west, toward the ghting. They
were later seen returning empty of their
cargo. On other days during that period, the
reporters only heard the convoys.
Supplies heading west, toward the con-
ict zones, are frequently seen both during
the day and night near Krasnodon.
It was not the rst time that APjournalists
had seen heavy weaponry in eastern
Ukraine.
On July 17, AP reporters in the town of
Snizhne saw a tracked launcher with four
SA-11 surface-to-air missiles parked on a
street. The bulky missile system is also
known as a Buk M-1. Three hours later, peo-
ple six miles west of Snizhne heard loud
noises and then saw the wreckage and bod-
ies from Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 fall
from the sky. All 298 people aboard were
killed when the plane was shot down.
