Election
recount
bill stalls
Assemblyman vows to
try again in December
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Californias election recount policy
will stay the same for the upcoming
November election but the Peninsula
lawmaker trying to change it vowed to
try again after his bill stalled in the state
Senate Friday.
The bill authored by Assemblyman
Kevin Mullin, D-South San Francisco,
proposed having the state foot the bill for election recounts
triggered by very close races like that of the controller in
the June primary. Mullin included an urgency clause with
hopes of getting it in place before the fall election but that

The long discussed issue of where to place
the San Carlos Charter Learning Center is
almost completed, with the district deciding
to have the school stay put at Tierra Linda
Middle School.
Although the exact location on the mid-
dle school campus will be decided at a future
meeting, the San Carlos Elementary School
District boards 4-1 vote Thursday night
shut down the possibility of moving the
school to Heather Elementary School. The
board must now decide where to place the
school on the upper or lower part of the
middle school campus. Trustee Seth
Rosenblatt was the one vote against, citing
that the district could grow better with the
Learning Center at Heather and trafc could
increase around Carlmont High School.
Although this particular decision has
gotten lots of play it seems like a big
deal but I dont think theyll be much of
an impact either way. Rosenblatt said.
Either way students will be just ne. My
preference would have been to move to
Heather. Our job is to do whats best for
the entire district as a whole. Placing a
school at a place without a neighborhood
boundary that can never be used for another
neighborhood school feels like it gives you
the most exibility. I feel like were going
to be in a quandary 10 years from now. Well
have to nd other creative things.
Initially, the district was considering a
land swap with the city for a park parcel at
North Crestview, but, ultimately,

Menlo Park reghter Matt Menard checks the equipment he brings when serving as a reline paramedic at state and
national forest res.
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Dropping everything at a moments
notice and rushing to assist in combat-
ing the growing number of wildres
ripping through Northern California
are arduous missions some local re-
ghters relish.
Matt Menard, a reghter paramedic
with the Menlo Park Fire Protection
District, returned Aug. 20 from his sec-
ond deployment this year where he
spent 21 days caring for wounded re-
ghters.
I love my job and being on the re
engine and serving the community and
the public. This is kind of a cool little
adventure into something different.
Im working for fellow firefighters.
That way Im out there helping my own
guys, even if I dont know them, were
all in the same profession, Menard
said. There is something a little bit
special about that and they appreciate
it. ... I think it gives them a little bit
of comfort.
Menard, 41, was called by the Ofce
of Emergency Services July 30 to aid
as a reline paramedic at the French
Fire in the Sierra National Forest, and
then reassigned to the July Complex, a
cluster of fires burning at Klamath
National Forest at the top of the state.
Now that fire season has really
kicked into gear, these res are lasting
longer and longer, Menard said.
These res get so big that they dont
have the personnel to ll every posi-
tion thats needed to work the incident.
So they reach out to government agen-
cies like Menlo Park re.
Fireghters are called through the
state or federal mutual aid programs
and usually serve as either a single
resource overhead position, or some-
one who goes out solo to provide
backup, or on a strike team, which is
comprised of an engine and four re-
ghters.
Menard said there are about 12 re-
ghters in the department qualied to

The two murder suspects in a botched
2013 San Mateo home invasion robbery
that ended up getting their friend killed will
stand trial on charges that could potentially
send them to prison for life or even Death
Row.
Bunn Vo, 23, of San Jose, and Edwin Lee,
22, of Daly City, have each pleaded not
guilty to charges in the Sept. 4, 2013, rob-
bery that left Bryant Ma mortally wounded.
On Friday, after a multi-day preliminary
hearing, both were held to answer for rst
degree murder with special circumstances,
robbery, burglary and kidnapping to commit
robbery. Vo was also held on one count of
attempted murder, said Assistant District
Attorney Al Serrato.
They return court Oct. 1 to enter pleas in
Superior Court and poten-
tially set a trial date.
Although Vo and Lee are
charged in Mas death,
neither shot him. Instead,
a 24-year-old occupant of
the Lodi Avenue home,
who was shot himself,
fired the fatal bullet.
Under California law, the
two defendants are held
responsible because they were allegedly par-
ticipating in a felonious crime that led to the
23-year-old mans death.
Around 11:30 p.m. that night, three men
later identied as Vo, Lee and Ma entered the
home on near South Norfolk Street east of
Highway 101 and encountered four others
which set off a gun ght.
Prosecutors allege the suspects entered the
home to rob the residents of drugs and
money and demanded one
victim to open his safe.
Prosecutors say he
instead got out a gun and
opened fire on the sus-
pects.
Vo and Lee ed with Ma
in a dark SUVto Regional
Medical Center of San
Jose where Lee was treat-
ed for a gunshot that was
not life threatening and Ma was declared
dead on arrival. Hospital personnel alerted
police who connected them to the San
Mateo shooting. Adark blue SUVwas locat-
ed in the hospital parking lot and the men
arrested.
Prosecutors have not yet publicly
announced whether they will seek the death
penalty in the case.
Both men remain in custody without bail.

Live giant millipedes seized at SFO
Twenty squirming foot-long millipedes in
a falsely labeled package from Germany were
seized at San Francisco International Airport
last month, a U.S. Customs and Border
Protection ofcial said Friday.
On July 8, U.S. Customs and Border
Protection agriculture specialists at the U.S.
Postal Service International Service Center
at SFO discovered the giant millipedes while
inspecting a package marked toy car
model, U.S. Customs and Border Protection
acting spokesman Fred Ho said.
The large package was routed through an
X-ray machine and, upon further inspection,
customs ofcials found the package consist-
ed of a large Styrofoam box containing a
mesh bag holding 20 giant millipedes, as
well as chunks of soil and paper, Ho said.
The exotic bugs dont bite and can last
between four and seven years on a diet of
spoiled produce. Some, however, have a poi-
son secretion, Ho said.
The giant millipedes were likely intended
as exotic pets, Ho said.
While the United States allows exotic pets
to enter the country, the package of giant
millipedes lacked required import permits
and was misrepresented in an attempt to
bypass federal regulations. The millipedes
were therefore seized by customs ofcials
before they reached their intended destina-
tion of Vista, California, Ho said.
The sender in Berlin was issued a postal
violation and the bugs were euthanized in
alcohol. They are now in the possession of
the U.S. Department of Agriculture, customs
ofcials said.

surrounding the poet through
imagery and illuminating the
poets vision through both sound
and sense, Goodwin said in an
announcement of the campaign
and contest. My hope is that the
Poetry Is campaign will be a way
to showcase our poetry of place
and allow for many different voic-
es to come together and be heard.
Goodwin will be collecting sub-
missions through the month of
September and several selected by
a committee will be invited to read
their work at an Oct. 30 event at
the Belmont library.
Poems can be in any form, lan-
guage or combination of lan-
guages up to 40 lines in length
and must use the name of the city
or town in which the author
resides in the title. Writers are
encouraged to use lots of sensory
images to illustrate what makes
their place unique.
The Board of Supervisors created
the honorary poet laureate post in
April 2013 and chose Goodwin
from a pool of 15. Goodwin, a poet
and professor, will serve two years.
Supervisor Warren Slocum, co-
chair of the countys poet laureate
advisory committee, said
Goodwin is hard at work in the
community elevating interest in
poetry and the literary arts.

paign and instructions on the poet-

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES Californias
schools chief said Friday that he
will seek an appeal of a court ruling
that struck down tenure and other
job protections for teachers.
Superintendent of Public
Instruction Tom Torlakson said he
has no authority to challenge the
ruling by a Los Angeles judge, but
he will ask the state attorney gen-
eral to appeal.
Torlakson was among those
named in a lawsuit brought by nine
students that argued Californias
hiring-and-ring rules for teachers
saddled schools especially
those in poor and minority neigh-
borhoods with bad teachers who
effectively couldnt be red.
On Thursday, Superior Court
Judge Rolf Treu afrmed his June
ruling that found ve laws violated
the California Constitution by
depriving some of the states 6.2
million students of a quality educa-
tion. Hed earlier said the system
shocks the conscience.
The judge has declined to tell the
state Legislature exactly how to
change the system, but he has
expressed condence it will do so
in a way that passes constitutional
muster.
However, Torlakson said in a
statement Friday that the ruling
isnt supported by facts or law and
is too vague to guide state lawmak-
ers in making alterations.
The trial represented the latest
battle in a nationwide movement to
abolish or toughen the standards
for granting teachers permanent
employment protection and sen-
iority-based preferences during
layoffs. Dozens of states have
moved in recent years to get rid of
such protections or raise the stan-
dards for obtaining them.
The powerful teachers union in
California and unions elsewhere
have fought to keep the rules, argu-
ing that they protect academic free-
dom and help attract teachers to a
tough and badly paid profession.
Torkalson, who has union back-
ing as he seeks reelection this fall,
said teachers were being blamed
unfairly for failings in the educa-
tional system.
We do not fault doctors when the
emergency room is full. We do not
criticize the reghter whose sup-
ply of water runs dry. Yet while we
crowd our classrooms and fail to
properly equip them with adequate
resources, those who led and sup-
port this case shamelessly seek to
blame teachers who step forward
every day to make a difference for
our children, Torkalsons state-
ment said.

in a long-running copyright dis-
pute.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of

New Community Development
director named in San Mateo
Pacica Planning Director George White
was named San Mateos Community
Development director, the city announced
Friday.
White will begin his new role with San
Mateo Sept. 22 and brings 26 years of com-
munity development and planning experi-
ence to the position, according to a city
press release.
White is familiar with the Bay Area and in
addition to Pacifica also worked for the
cities of Saratoga, Palo Alto and Petaluma as
well as the counties of Monterey and
Calaveras. He is a native Californian and
graduated from San Francisco State
University with a bachelors degree in geog-
raphy and environmental studies with an
emphasis in land use planning, according to
the release.
The department recently received a 265-
page management audit prepared by Zucker
Systems that outlined 224 suggestions for
improvement after it discovered issues with
overworked staff and poor communication.
After a breakdown in staff and council com-
munication that landed the city entangled in
a lawsuit over the opening of a 7-Eleven in
a residential neighborhood, ofcials opted
to undergo an independent management
audit of the department in September.
Community Development includes plan-
ning, code enforcement, building and
neighborhood improvement and housing
divisions.
In the release of Whites hiring, the city
emphasized Whites background in plan-
ning, building and code enforcement.
While working as Palo Altos planning
manager, White was responsible for imple-
menting the recommendations of a similar
study also conducted by Zucker Associates,
according to the release.
I am no stranger to departments going
through transition and can provide the lead-
ership ability to make the healing process
possible, White said in the release. Its
important to allow that time and Im look-
ing forward to building a cohesive team and
creating a department that will serve as a
model to other communities.

Groundwater regulations
headed to Gov.Jerry Brown
By Scott Smith
FRESNO Apair of giant water diversion
tunnels proposed for the Sacramento-San
Joaquin Delta could violate the federal Clean
Water Act and increase harm to endangered
fish species, according to the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, which
released its formal comment on the project
Thursday.
In a 43-page letter sent to the National
Marine Fisheries Service, the EPA said its
research found that by diverting freshwater
from three new intakes proposed on the
Sacramento River, the project is likely to
increase concentrations of salinity, mercu-
ry, bromide, chloride, selenium and pesti-
cides in the Delta. The estuary is habitat for
species such as the endangered Delta smelt.
Richard Stapler, a spokesman for the
states Natural Resources Agency, which
backs the Delta plan, said the state is
addressing the EPAs concerns.
This is a pretty sprawling effort and
probably shouldnt come as a huge surprise
that additional refinements need to be
made, Stapler said Friday.
While the states Bay Delta Conservation
Plan would improve water quality for farmers
and cities receiving Delta supplies in south-
ern parts of the state, the EPAs regional
administrator, Jared Blumenfeld, wrote that
federal ofcials fear more immediate harm.
Water quality could worsen for farmers
and municipalities who divert water directly
from the Delta, said Blumenfeld, recom-
mending that the state explain in greater
detail how it plans to offset harmful
impacts, including those as far downstream
as the San Francisco Bay.
Under development for seven years, the
$25 billion project proposes to re-engineer
the Delta in what would be the biggest water
supply project in California for decades. It
includes two underground tunnels, 40 feet in
diameter and 30 miles long, which send
water around the Delta.

SACRAMENTO California is on the
verge of regulating its groundwater supply
for the rst time, as the worst drought in a
generation pushed state leaders to overhaul
the states longstanding pump-as-you-
please policy.
The state Assembly on Friday voted 44-
27 to send the bill, AB1739, to Gov. Jerry
Brown, whose administration has been
involved in shaping the legislation. Two
companion bills were sent to the Senate
and were expected to win approval later in
the day.
The legislative package by
Assemblyman Roger Dickinson, D-
Sacramento, and Sen. Fran Pavley, D-
Agoura Hills, would require some local
governments to develop groundwater-man-
agement plans and allows the state to inter-
vene if necessary. The issue is critical as
the state deals with its third year of
drought, which has forced farmers to fallow
elds and led to widespread unemployment
in the Central Valley.
Groundwater accounts for 60 percent of
the states water use during drought years,
yet it is not as regulated and closely man-
aged as water from reservoirs, rivers and
streams. The pumping has been so great in
recent years that wells are running dry and
the land is falling as water-drained soil is
compressed. That in turn has led to billions
of dollars in damage to roads, aqueducts,
canals and pipelines, supporters say.
The state cannot manage water in
California until we manage groundwater,
said Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins, D-San
Diego. You cannot have reliability with
no plan to manage groundwater.
But agricultural interests that are increas-
ingly dependent on tapping wells have
opposed the legislation. Republican law-
makers and Central Valley Democrats said
the package was being rushed and called for
more time to debate the issues.

SACRAMENTO State corrections
ofcials on Friday agreed to shift men-
tally ill inmates into separate special-
ized housing that will offer them more
treatment instead of placing them in the
same isolation units as other inmates, a
decision that marks a major shift in
how the system deals with such prison-
ers.
The agreement led in U.S. District
Court in Sacramento comes after a feder-
al judge ruled in April that Californias
treatment of mentally ill inmates vio-
lates constitutional safeguards against
cruel and unusual punishment.
U.S. District Judge Lawrence Karlton
acted after the release of videos made by
correctional ofcers that showed guards
pumping large amounts of pepper spray
into the cells of mentally ill inmates,
some screaming and delirious.
Under the agreement, the state will
create separate short- and long-term
housing units for about 2,500 mentally
ill inmates who prison ofcials say
must be kept in solitary connement
for disciplinary reasons. The agreement
calls for them to get more treatment and
more time out of their prison cells.
These new policies emphasize treat-
ment while in segregation, increased
focus on the lengths of stay in segrega-
tion, and a thorough review of an
inmates risk of decompensation from
being housed in segregation upon
release from inpatient care, the depart-
ment said in its ling.
Michael Bien, whose rm sued the
state over its treatment of mentally ill
inmates, called the states decision a
gigantic change and a tremendous
step forward in removing mentally ill
inmates from the states notorious secu-
rity housing units and administration
segregation units.
State mentally ill inmates get special units
Mentally ill inmates will be housed in separate
short- and long-term restricted housing units
instead of existing isolation units.
They will get more hours of individual and
group therapy and more frequent visits with
mental health professionals.
They will be let out of their cells more often,
for exercise, therapy and for communal time
with other inmates.
They will have more diversions while they are
locked in their cells, including televisions and
radios.
Inmates deemed too ill for segregation will be
diverted to other units with even more mental
health treatment.
The state will individually review the cases of
inmates with long segregation terms to see if
the inmates need to be in solitary connement
and to develop a plan to get them back into the
general population.

Study: Ebola drug
heals all monkeys
By Marilynn Marchione
An experimental Ebola drug healed all 18 monkeys infect-
ed with the deadly virus in a study, boosting hopes that the
treatment might help ght the outbreak raging through
West Africa once more of it can be made.
The monkeys were given the drug, ZMapp, three to ve
days after they were infected with the virus and when most
were showing symptoms. That is several days later than any
other experimental Ebola treatment tested so far.
The drug also completely protected six other monkeys
given a slightly different version of it three days after infec-
tion in a pilot test. These two studies are the rst monkey
tests ever done on ZMapp.
The level of improvement was utterly beyond my honest
expectation, said one study leader, Gary Kobinger of the
Public Health Agency of Canada in Winnipeg.
For animal data, its extremely impressive, said Dr.
Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy
and Infectious Diseases, which had a role in the work.
Its not known how well the drug would work in people,
who can take up to 21 days to show symptoms and are not
infected the way these monkeys were in a lab.
Legislature seeks some inuence over initiatives
SACRAMENTO Abill headed to the governor seeks to
exert some legislative inuence over citizen initiatives.
Under SB1253 by Senate President Pro Tem Darrell
Steinberg, the attorney general would open a 30-day public
review period once initiative proponents submit their
request for title and summary.
The proponents could amend their initiative during that
period or simply ignore the public comments.
The bill also would require legislative committees to hold
public hearings once initiative supporters collect 25 per-
cent of the signatures needed to place it on the ballot.
The supporters would be allowed to remove their initia-
tive from the ballot if they compromised with lawmakers,
but they would not be required to meet with them.
SB1253 also would require the secretary of state to post
the top 10 donors for and against each initiative. It passed
the Senate Friday 28-9.
Bills to deter wrongful convictions go to governor
SACRAMENTO California lawmakers sent Gov. Jerry
Brown a pair of bills Friday designed to thwart or reverse
wrongful criminal convictions.
They acted as the Legislature rushed to complete its work
for the year ahead of Sundays deadline.
SB980 by Sen. Ted Lieu. D-Torrance, which passed the
Senate on a 32-3 vote, changes the criteria for obtaining a
court order authorizing DNAtesting.
It would require law enforcement agencies to tell defen-
dants when they possess evidence that could be tested for
DNA. It also would allow judges to order DNAevidence to be
run through the FBIs nationwide database to look for a
match.

Kept promises
by the Peninsula VA
Editor,
Theres been a lot of talk lately
about poor service for veterans at VA
hospitals and clinics. I know that in
some areas vets have had to wait
months for important procedures and
we all agree that is wrong.
However, I want it to be known
that the service and attention I get at
the VAclinic in San Bruno has been
fantastic. The staff there are profes-
sional, friendly and most important-
l y, prompt.
I have received similar great serv-
ice whenever Ive had reason to con-
tact U.S. Rep. Jackie Speiers office
in regards to veterans issues. When
the VAsent me a confusing letter
about my benefits being slashed, I
contacted Jackies office and Mark
Nagales, her veterans case worker,
worked with the VAon my behalf
and resolved the problem.
Our nation makes a promise every
time a young man or woman puts on
the uniform. Im happy and proud
that, at least here on the Peninsula,
our representatives with the VAand
in Congress are keeping that prom-
ise.

Assad must maybe go?
Editor,
So I guess we can forget Assad
must go. Remember the refrain
from all our diplomatic loud mouths?
Now its Assad must go, not so
much. We have the larger group of
crazies, ISIL or the Islamic state
going around murdering folks. Were
in the same corner as the Iranians
and the Russians, oh except for
when theyre hassling the
Ukrainians and getting lost while
marching around, but otherwise.
Then theres Libya. Well it was
Libya and there is always Israel
bombing the folks in Gaza prison
while still dreaming of a greater
Israel, and the Hamas folks some-
how thinking theyre winning when
they fire missiles to nowhere and
get clobbered in return. Maybe the
U.N. Security Council will start to
function as originally planned?

Letters to the editor
Imperial Valley Press
W
ere certain that few
teachers, if any, would
admit that math instruc-
tion under the new Common Core
State Standards is even confusing to
them. After all, many of the current
teachers learned how to instruct
under different guidelines and
schools of thought on what works
and what doesnt .
But if were all being honest, there
is much confusion on everyones end
on how to reach students with new
terminology, a new process and a
new way of thinking that even has
changed vastly from first grade to
fourth grade, for example.
Teachers, fortunately and as part of
their ongoing education, have pro-
fessional development to bring them
up to speed, to enhance and reinforce
what they already know with new
techniques to better educate our chil-
dren.
Parents havent been so lucky ...
until now. We recently reported on a
set of tools being promoted by the
state Department of Education to
help instruct parents on Common
Core procedures through various
video tutorials and online instruc-
tion meant to better assist parents
with homework help.
We referenced comedian Louis
C.K.s widespread Tweet about
Common Core math making his
children cry, but from what we have
seen, heard from other parents and
experienced ourselves, there is much
truth to this. To be a truly engaged
parent means helping your children
with their homework, reinforcing
and being a partnership in education
with their teachers. But when a par-
ent does not have the same skill-sets
as the teacher, helping can be an
exercise in frustration for the par-
ents and the child.
We give you an example. Weve
seen some early fourth-grade math
homework, using terms and defini-
tions that are alien to us, such as
figuring out how to break down the
values of large numbers. Terms
being used include number period
rather than group or value, ideas that
even the most savvy parents might
struggle with. We know it took an
Internet search on Common Core
worksheets and curriculum just to
find out how to explain it to a child.
These resources made available
through numerous sites and the
Department of Education aim to
make that process easier, to allow
parents to learn right alongside their
children or separately. It can be
heartbreaking to watch a child strug-
gle with their homework and feel
helpless to do anything.
We are so very glad this resource is
out there, and more important, that
local teachers, school districts and
the state are really pushing the mes-
sage home, too, that we all have
something to learn and can to
make our children better students and
better learners.
Common Core crash-course
Business of Foster City
By Charles Bronitsky
F
oster Citys reputation is as an upscale bedroom
community, safe, family friendly, outstanding
amenities, a great place to live. But Foster City is
also home for two internationally well-known compa-
nies, Visa and Gilead Sciences. IBM, another internation-
ally well-known company, consolidated a group of its
ofces and has for the past few years proudly shown its
logo on the top of Parkside Towers in the center of our
city.
In addition to large businesses,
Foster City has a lot of medium and
small businesses that are essential to
our local economy. Foster City, and its
central location, is ideally suited for
business and more businesses each day
are looking to make Foster City their
home.
Economically, Foster City has tradi-
tionally relied on property taxes and so
over its history, new residential development has been
encouraged and it has kept Foster City thriving.
However, as we run out of new land and areas to redevel-
op, we need to understand that Foster Citys future
depends on a good balance between residential and busi-
ness and looking at ways to increase the existing value
of both, without relying on major growth and the impact
that comes from it.
I have written often about retail. Retail today is very
different from the retail we have known for many years.
Today, retailers are facing the world of Amazons and other
online retailers who can now deliver anything directly to
your home at prices cheaper than most local retailers can
match. Thus, many retail shopping centers, including
those in Foster City, now have predominantly service
businesses rather than traditional retail.
While services are necessary and vitally important,
from a municipal perspective they do not generate sales
tax so they are not traditionally looked at as economic
engines. In my opinion, however, the service industry
and other businesses that do not directly generate revenue
for the city are nonetheless vital to the health and value
of our city and must be sustained.
Asimple example of what I mean by indirect benet
can be seen in our local schools. Why are real estate
prices in Foster City so high and why are there so few
houses for sale? In part, people move here because fami-
lies want good schools. But in addition to good schools,
people also want the services that our businesses pro-
vide. If you had to go to another city for after-school care
or to get your hair cut or for any of the other myriad serv-
ices that our businesses provide, would that make you
think that living in Foster City has somewhat less value?
The more services our local businesses can provide, the
stronger the desire to live here, and the more people are
willing to pay for housing here.
I understand that high housing costs is not the be all
and end all and that there are signicant drawbacks on a
societal level to living in an area where the cost of hous-
ing is what it is in our city. In fact, we have taken great
pains to exceed the state requirements for affordable hous-
ing, but the fact is that if we do not build greater value
from our existing resources we will have no choice but to
add resources. Given that we are getting close to capacity
in many areas, that type of growth is clearly not sustain-
able.
Thus, what we need is a balance and to achieve a bal-
ance in todays world. Foster City needs to have an iden-
tity, one that shows that we are a wonderful place not just
to live and play, but to work as well. While some busi-
nesses many not directly generate revenue to our city,
they do have tangential benets that make our city better
and more sustainable for the long term.
In its 43 years, Foster City has grown from a child to
an adolescent. Now we must take it from adolescence to
adulthood. We need to nd a balance between modest and
well-thought-out inll growth, and growth from making
our existing assets, our homes and our businesses, worth
more. That is not a modest challenge, but I am convinced
that so long as we keep our eye on the prize, it is some-
thing we can accomplish.
You can help by supporting local businesses. Shop in
Foster City whenever you can. You can start small this
week, try a new Foster City restaurant or dine at one you
have not dined at in a while. Together we can strike this
balance and ensure the long-term nancial viability of
our city while minimizing the impact from continued
growth. I know that it is something I will keep working
on so long as I continue to serve our city.

Big movers

The Standard & Poors 500 index
delivered its fourth record high in ve
days Friday, ending with the biggest
monthly gain since February.
The milestone-crushing run capped a
week when the S&Peclipsed the 2,000-
point mark for the rst time. And the
index ended August with a gain of 3.7
percent.
Six months of solid job gains,
strong company earnings and a bevy of
corporate deal news contributed to the
rally, part of a bull market thats been
rumbling on for more than ve years.
The market appeared ready for a cor-
rection at the end of July, but the down-
turn didnt last long. For most of
August, stocks have managed to shake
off geopolitical conicts from Ukraine
to Gaza and Iraq.
The market has a good underlying
tone, said Mike Levine, portfolio
manager of Oppenheimer Equity
Income Fund. People feel like the
economy is gaining some strength and
the job market is getting better and
corporate earnings should be pretty
good.
Even in a quiet day of trading ahead of
the Labor Day holiday, stocks eked out
a gain.
The indexes opened higher, but eased
soon after, as investors digested news
that consumer spending fell and
income growth slowed in July.
Traders also had their eye on the con-
ict in Ukraine, as a group of European
Union foreign ministers accused
Russia of invading the eastern region
of the country and said Moscow should
be punished with more economic sanc-
tions.
The markets began to recoup some
losses by midmorning, however, when
a gauge of consumer sentiment indicat-
ed greater optimism in August, particu-
larly among higher-income groups.
Some better-than-expected company
earnings also lifted stocks.
Overall, the indexes wavered
between small gains and losses
throughout the afternoon.
Were seeing a listless, pre-holiday
market, said Drew Wilson, an invest-
ment analyst at Fenimore Asset
Management.
The S&P 500 index nished up 6.63
points, or 0.3 percent, to 2,003.37.
The S&P 500 closed above 2,000 for
the rst time on Tuesday and has gained
8.4 percent this year.
The Dow Jones industrial average
gained 18.88 points, or 0.1 percent, to
17,098.45.
The Nasdaq composite added 22.58
points, or 0.5 percent, to 4,580.27.
Stocks rose broadly, with all 10 sec-
tors in the S&P 500 index higher for
the day, led by utilities.
The gains marked the indexs best
August since 2000.
Its been a good August, said Linda
Duessel, senior equity market strate-
gist at Federated Investors. I imagine
its the end of the month and people
closing their books are saying I better
show Im invested, we had a brand-new
high this week, she said.
Nevertheless, some investors may
be more hesitant next month.
September is widely considered the
stock markets worst month.
Since World War II, the S&P 500
index has ended the month with a loss
half of the time. Recently, however,
September has been good to investors.
The S&P 500 has turned in a September
loss just twice in the last decade: in the
depths of the nancial crisis in 2008
and following a ght over raising the
governments borrowing limit in
2011.
Last September, investors saw an
array of threats lined up after Labor
Day, including a ght over the federal
budget and a possible U.S. attack on
Syria. The result? The S&P 500 gained
3 percent.
Elsewhere in the markets, bond
prices were little changed. The yield on
the 10-year Treasury note held at 2.34
percent.
Stocks end higher with strongAugust run
By Bernard Condon
NEWYORK Is it time to cash out of stocks?
The market has nearly tripled in a little over ve years, and
with each record close, the temptation grows to take your
winnings and ee. If only you had done that in the crashes
that began in 2000 and 2008, you might be a lot richer.
Plenty of experts think stocks are about to drop. But many
others offer compelling arguments for the rally to continue
for years.
The bulls point to a strengthening U.S. economy that will
help companies generate big prots. They also like that
companies have plenty of money to keep buying back their
own stock, a big force pushing up prices.
The bears argue that, with the Standard and Poors 500
index closing above 2,000 on Tuesday, stocks already reect
years of future prot gains. And that forecast is suspect any-
way given that so many economies around the world are
stumbling. They also worry that U.S. interest rates could rise
fast soon, one of the surest ways to kill a rally.
The important thing to remember is that even the best
investors, Warren Buffett included, nd it nearly impossible
to time the market to catch the lows and highs.
The bull and bear cases in detail:
BULL CASE: A STRONGER ECONOMY
Four of the past five bull markets have ended with
investors selling in a recession, or bailing out because they
anticipated one. The odds of a downturn anytime soon? Not
very high, at least based on the latest economic reports and
forecasts.
The U.S. economy is expected to grow 1.5 percent this
year, then 3.4 percent in 2015, according to Congressional
Budget Ofce estimates released Wednesday. One reason is
companies are hiring at the fastest pace in eight years.
More people working means more paychecks and money
to spend. And the good news can feed on itself. People who
never lost jobs but were worried about layoffs might start
spending more, too. Consumer condence has hit its high-
est point in nearly seven years.
All this makes it more likely that companies will keep
posting higher earnings.
This recovery will last several more years ... and earnings
will grow, says Jim Paulsen, chief investment strategist at
Wells Capital Management. There is a lot of room on the
upside.
Financial analysts expect earnings from companies in the
S&P500 to rise 8 percent this year, then 12 percent in 2015,
according to S&P Capital IQ, a research rm. Adouble-digit
gain would be the biggest in four years.
LOW INTEREST RATES
Interest rates are low, and thats been great for stocks.
They help lower borrowing costs for consumers and busi-
nesses, which boosts prots. And they hold down interest
payments on bonds, making stocks look more attractive to
investors by comparison.
Many investors expect the Federal Reserve to start raising
the short-term rates it controls in the middle of next year. If
the Fed keeps the hikes small, the stock market might shrug
it off.
Thats what happened in the last round of Fed hikes, in
2004. The S&P 500 gained 9 percent that year.
Torsten Slok, chief international economist at Deutsche
Bank Securities, isnt worried. He notes that the short-term
rates that helped drag stocks down at the end of the last
seven bull markets were all higher than 4 percent. With the
Fed holding those rates near zero now, a record low, it could
take many hikes and a bit of time for borrowing costs
to rise enough to damage the economy and markets.
We should expect the expansion to continue for several
more years, Slok says.
BUYBACK BOOM
One of the biggest forces in the stock rally so far is com-
panies buying back their own shares. Companies in the S&P
500 have spent $1.9 trillion on buybacks since the bull mar-
ket began in March 2009, according to Howard Silverblatt,
a senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices, a research
rm.
By creating more demand for stocks, buybacks have kept
prices rising even as others sell. Mutual funds, investment
brokers, foreigners and pension funds have all been net
sellers of stocks over most of the last ve years, according
to the Fed.
Companies have pulled back sharply from their near-
record buying in the rst quarter, but their buybacks are
still pushing up prices. And companies have plenty of
money to continue buying. Those in the S&P 500 have
more than $1.1 trillion in cash, according to S&P Dow
Jones Indices.
Says Silverblatt, Companies are buying themselves a
tail wind.
BEAR CASE: STOCKS NOT CHEAP
Its ne to forecast big prot gains well into the future,
but what if prices fully reect expected gains?
Thats what many bears think. They cite a widely used
gauge of stock value called the price-earnings ratio, or the
price of a stock divided by its earnings per share. If a share
costs $100 and nancial analysts expect the company to
earn $5 per share in the coming year, the P/E ratio is 20.
The key here is that low P/Es are considered a better deal.
Each dollar you spend on a stock buys you many dollars
of future earnings. High P/Es buy you fewer future earnings.
The S&P 500 now trades at 15 times what companies in
the index are expected to earn over the next 12 months,
according to FactSet, a data provider. That is slightly
above the 10-year average of 14.1 times.
Stocks are not cheap, says Aaron Jett, head of stock
research at Bel Air Investment Advisors. But were not in
bubble territory.
The problem is, P/Es are often not reliable gauges of
stock value. They are based on just one years earnings.
Those can surge due to a pickup in the economy or collapse
during a slowdown.
Many experts believe a better P/E is a cyclically adjust-
ed one, which is championed by Yale economist Robert
Shiller. And that is showing that stocks are overpriced.
The cyclically-adjusted ratio averages annual earnings
of companies over 10 years to remove distortions from
surges and drops.
It is currently 26. Thats much lower that it was during the
late 1990s dot-com bubble when the ratio peaked at 44. But
its still very high. Since the end of World War II, and the
average is 18.3. Go back a century, and the average is 16.
Make no mistake this is an equity bubble, and a high-
ly advanced one, wrote economist and fund manager John
Hussman last month in one of his weekly commentaries to
investors.
As stocks rise, so does anxiety: Time to get out?

QB QUANDRY: ANOTHER YEAR, ANOTHER QUARTERBACK DECISION FOR THE RAIDERS >> PAGE 15
Weekend Aug. 30-31, 2014
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The secret to the success of the Menlo
School football team is not having a
Division I caliber quarterback year in and
year out, rather, its the sum total of all their
pieces. The Knights usually feature a num-
ber of quick and shifty football players at
the skills positions in coach Mark
Newtons run-and-shoot offense.
Every year were replacing a lot of tal-
ent, Newton said. But we have some good
guys. The issue every year for us is depth.
Plug in a good quarterback and the poten-
tial is there for the Knights offense to hum.
Over the last three seasons, the Knights
averaged 35.8 points per game. But that was
with Jack Heneghan at the helm, who is now
playing at Dartmouth. Despite having to
replace a three-year starter, Newton believes
he has just the guy to ll the role senior
Austin DAmbra, a second-year varsity
player Heneghans backup last season.
Newton, however, does not want DAmbra
to think he has to ll Heneghans shoes.
You never want to put (that kind of pres-
sure) on a kids shoulders following a
three-year starter, Newton said. Austin is a
very good leader, accurate passer. Were
going to utilize his skill sets. Austin has
grown a lot.
At 6-1, DAmbra is a lot different size
wise than the 6-4, 220-pound Heneghan,
but is talented in his own right. Newton
believes DAmbra has nally grown into a
starting varsity quarterback.
Hes been playing ball for a while,
Newton said. Austin, physically, devel-
oped later. His challenge was getting his
body catching up with his abilities.

Menlo-Atherton football has proven to
be a perennial playoff power under fth-year
head coach Sione Taufoou.
The Bears have advanced to the postsea-
son in each of their previous four years.
Taufoou, however, is still looking to
cement his legacy. He has gotten close to
bringing Menlo-Atherton its third all-time
Central Coast Section title; in 2011, the
Bears advanced to the Division I champi-
onship game, only to fall to Serra.
Heading into the new season, Taufoous
challenge will be getting the most out of a
28-player roster. The talent is there, but
obviously far removed from the personnel
of three seasons ago. But they should still
be one of the frontrunners in the Peninsula
Athletic League Bay Division to put pres-
sure on reigning league champion Terra
Nova.
Theyve had their ups and downs,
Taufoou said of parsing together a new start-
ing lineup. Weve been solid. Were look-
ing for some greatness, but weve been
solid.
With new starters at most of the skill
positions, M-A will rely on its wealth of
experience on the offensive line to pave the
way to greatness. The Bears only returning
All-League player is second-year junior
Bryce Rodgers, a 6-2, 230-pound guard. He
is complimented by third-year senior center
Api Mane and senior tackle Casey Gernaat.
All will be tasked with playing the defen-
sive line as well. And all were integral to M-
Aadvancing to the CCS Division II semi-
nals last season.
Despite graduating the teams top rusher
in tailback Isiah Nash last year the sen-
ior ran for over 1,300 yards the Bears
bread-and-butter will continue to be the run
game, according to Taufoou.

49ers linebacker Aldon Smith has
been suspended for nine games by
the NFL after a series of off-eld
legal issues.
A statement
Friday from the
league said
Smith had vio-
lated the NFL's

and personal

Smith won't
be eligible to
return until Nov. 10, the day after
the 49ers game against the New
Orleans Saints.
Our organization has known this
decision would come and we have
prepared for it as a team, 49ers gen-
eral manager Trent Baalke said in a

The 24-year-old Smith, one of the
NFLs top pass rushers, missed ve
games last season to undergo treat-
ment at an in-patient facility fol-
lowing his DUI arrest Sept. 20.
Just before training camp began

Skyline College mens soccer
managed just one shot on goal in
its season opener Friday, but that is
all the Trojans needed on a windy
San Bruno afternoon to force a 1-1
tie with Delta College.
After Delta got on the board early,
Skyline answered in the second half.
Trojans forward Joao Costa received
a cross pass in the penalty box from
freshman Michael Wheaton and
shot it clean past Deltas goalkeeper
in the 73rd minute.
The goal came just in time, as
less than three minutes later,
Skylines Gabriel Sanchez received
a red card, after which the Trojans
had to play a man down for the
remainder of the match. But
Skylines solid back row of fresh-
man Cesar Siordia and sophomore
Salvador Guzman, and an excep-
tional effort by goalkeeper Fauris
Franco, kept Delta in check as the
Trojans tabbed an improbable draw.
Obviously a tie with 10 players is
a win, instead of losing the game,
Franco said. So, if I keep my team
in the game, just one shot goes in we
can go home with the win.
Franco absolutely kept his team
in it. The sophomore was chal-
lenged with a flurry of direct
shots, but had ve late saves to

STANFORD David Shaw was an assis-
tant on the Baltimore Ravens in the fall of
2005 when he heard about the most unlike-
ly upset: UC Davis 20, Stanford 17.
I just remember I had a pit in my stomach
as an alum, Shaw said.
The Cardinal have
come so far since that
stunning loss to a lower-
tier California school
that Shaw sees no reason
to talk about it now.
Instead, he is focused on
taking the two-time
defending Pac-12 cham-
pions even further, start-
ing Saturday when No.
11 Stanford opens its season against an
overmatched Aggies team.
And with a big game against No. 15
Southern California looming next week,
Shaw is as eager as anybody to get a
glimpse of his retooled team in action.
When things come up, things ying all
over the place, how they handle all the
changes, how they handle all those things,
how they handle things that come up right
before a play that maybe they hadnt seen
and we prepared them for, can they handle
those things? And how do they handle those
things? Thats what Im fascinated about
it, Shaw said.
Stanford should have an easier time break-
ing in a new running back, four new starters
on the offensive line and ve new starters
on defense than it will next week.
UC Davis, which plays in the Football
Championship Subdivision, nished 5-7
last season. The Aggies also will be starting
a new quarterback and their top two running
backs are out with injuries.
UC Davis coach Ron Gould said he knows
his team faces quite a challenge, but hes
counting on his players to compete hard and
do all they can to give Stanford a scare.
Were denitely playing one of the pre-
eminent football powerhouses in the coun-
try, Gould said. We have to make sure we
dont get outside ourselves. We have to
focus on what our assignments are and
weve got to play extremely well.
Here are some things to watch when
Stanford hosts UC Davis:
In the trenches
Stanfords reconstructed offensive line
will have a major size advantage on UC
Davis defensive line. The Cardinals front
line features four new starters and one of the
countrys top left tackles in Andrus Peat, but
Shaw expects the unit all part of the
acclaimed 2012 recruiting class to be as
good or better than any he has had before.
New back
Redshirt junior Kelsey Young will be
making his rst career start for Stanford and
will bear the burden along with Barry
Sanders, Ricky Seale and Remound Wright
of replacing 1,700-yard rusher Tyler
Gaffney. Young is treating the opener as a
continuation of the competition he won in
training camp. There are so many guys that
are really good in that running back room,
he said, I need to be on point every
moment.
Difcult debut
Facing Stanfords pressure-happy defense
is a tough task for any quarterback. Doing it
in his debut is an even more daunting chal-
lenge. With four-year starting quarterback
Randy Wright gone, the battle to replace
him at UC Davis is expected to drag on until
kickoff and even then it might not be
sealed. Neither senior London Lacy nor
sophomore Ben Scott played last season,
and both could see time against the
Cardinal.
Hampered ground game
The Aggies top two running backs, Gabe
Manzanares (leg) and Manusamoa Luuga
(wrist), are out with injuries. That could
make things difcult on a UC Davis team
that has relied more on the ground game
under Gould, especially considering
Stanfords defense has been among the
countrys best run-stoppers.
Montgomerys magic
Stanfords Ty Montgomery is somebody
to watch every week. This year should be no
different. Coaches and teammates have
raved about Montgomery all training camp
since he came back from offseason surgery
on his right shoulder. Doctors cleared him
to play earlier this week, and the ashy wide
receiver and All-American kick returner
should get his shot to show fans how
healthy he is now. He has that ability to
change the game at any point, Stanford
quarterback Kevin Hogan said.
No. 11 Stanford set to open versus UC Davis

EVANSTON, Ill. Northwestern hopes the
headlines will nally focus on victories.
The Wildcats enter the season hoping to
capture attention for their play rather than
their leading role in the college unionization
debate, and it starts with Saturday's opener
against California.
I think everybody thats associated with
college football is always excited this week,
coach Pat Fitzgerald said.
Considering everything thats happened in
recent months, that might be more than just
coach-speak where Northwestern is con-
cerned.
Besides serving as ground zero for a move-
ment that could alter the college landscape
with former quarterback Kain Colter leading
the push to form the rst union for college
athletes, the Wildcats took some big hits with
the unexpected losses of some key players.
Front-line receiver Christian Jones and defen-
sive tackle Sean McEvilly suffered season-
ending injuries, and star running back Venric
Mark decided to transfer.
Those were big blows for a team coming off
a 5-7 season, particularly the loss of Mark. He
missed most of last season because of a bro-
ken ankle after rushing for 1,366 yards as a
junior in 2012 and was granted a medical hard-
ship by the Big Ten that gave him a fth year.
But instead of a triumphant return, he got
suspended for the rst two games for violating
a team rule. The school announced two weeks
ago he was transferring to play closer to his
family in Texas.
As for the unionization issue, thats still
looming in the background. The effort started
to pick up momentum last season and the team
voted in April, shortly after National Labor
Relations Board regional director Peter Ohr
ruled that the Wildcats scholarship football
players were employees. The NLRB
impounded the ballots pending an appeal by

SAN FRANCISCO Buster Posey went 5
for 5 and drove in three runs in just six
innings, then was pulled early as the San
Francisco Giants routed the Milwaukee
Brewers 13-2 on Friday night for their
fourth straight win.
Posey had a triple in his second career
ve-hit game. The star catcher is batting
.500 (20 for 40) with ve home runs and 13
RBIs in his past nine games.
Gregor Blanco hit a two-run homer to
back Ryan Vogelsongs rst victory in four
starts. The Giants scored a season high in
runs and have their longest winning streak
since ve straight victories in early June.
Hunter Pence hit a trio of run-scoring sin-
gles, Joe Panik had four hits and Angel
Pagan wound up a home run shy of the cycle.
The Giants 19 hits were their second
most in the 15-year history of AT&T Park
behind 20 on Aug. 14, 2001, against the
Marlins.
Vogelsong (8-9)
snapped an 0-5 skid at
home, where he had
received zero runs of sup-
port in each of his previ-
ous ve outings at AT&T
Park. He gave up two runs
and four hits in seven
innings.
Vogelsong had all he
needed and then some Friday to end a three-
start winless stretch with just his third vic-
tory since June 21. The Giants had lost his
last seven home games.
Wily Peralta (15-9) was chased after a sea-
son-low three innings and lost for the third
time in four starts. He surrendered six runs
on nine hits, struck out one and walked two.
Pence extended the NLs longest active
hitting streak to 11 games with his rst-
inning RBI single.
The Giants scored in each of the rst ve
innings at home for the rst time since June 13,
2012, when Matt Cain pitched a perfect game.
Notes: catcher Hector Sanchez hopes to
have recovered well enough from two con-
cussions to be able to play a month of win-
ter ball back home in Venezuela, even if he
is a designated hitter or first baseman.
Manager Bruce Bochy is rooting for that
scenario to give Sanchez more at-bats con-
sidering his time missed this season. Hes
unlikely to play again in 2014.
Brewers: Right-hander Mike Fiers (4-1,
1.54), 4-0 with a 1.29 ERA as a starter,
makes his fth start and ninth appearance in
the middle game of the series. The Brewers
next victory will match their season total
from last year.
Giants: Right-handed Jake Peavy (2-4,
3.18) faces the Brewers for the third time
this season looking for his rst win after
two outings while with Boston.
Right-hander Yusmeiro Petit, who set a
major league record by retiring 46 consecu-
tive batters, will remain in the rotation after
his win Thursday pitching in place of strug-
gling right-hander Tim Lincecum.
Poseys 5-hit night brews the Crew
By Joe Resnick
ANAHEIM Jered Weaver outpitched Jon
Lester, Albert Pujols hit his 516th career
homer and the Los Angeles Angels beat
Oakland 4-0 Friday night, extend their AL
West lead over the As to three games.
A night after the Angels edged the
Athletics 4-3 in 10 innings, they won with
pitching and power.
Chris Iannetta hit a two-run shot despite a
valiant effort by center elder Coco Crisp
for a 2-0 lead in the fth, and that was
enough for Weaver and the bullpen.
Weaver (15-7) threw three-hit ball for seven
innings, striking out three and walking three.
He escaped a bases-loaded jam in the sixth by
retiring Josh Reddick on a yball. Weaver is
8-1 over his last 14 starts.
Jon Lester (13-9) gave up two earned runs in
six innings. He is 0-2 in his last three starts
after going 7-0 with a 1.46 ERAover his pre-
vious 11 outings for Boston and Oakland.
Erick Aybar led off the fth with a single
that extended his hitting streak to 14 games.
Iannetta followed with a towering drive to
left-center that kept carrying before Crisp
caught up to it and got a glove on the ball
with a desperate leap. But the ball popped out
of his mitt and wound up on the other side of
the 8-foot fence.
Crisp strained his neck on the play and
was replaced by Craig Gentry.
Iannetta got another RBI in the sixth
when Lester walked him on a full count with
the bases loaded. The run was unearned, the
result of consecutive two-out errors by third
baseman Josh Donaldson and shortstop Eric
Sogard.
Oaklands only hit over the first five
innings was a two-out double in the fourth by
Donaldson that crossed over the bag before
bouncing into foul territory. Stephen Vogt
followed with a drive that All-Star center
elder Mike Trout gloved on the dead run just
as he reached the fence in left-center.
Weaver was bailed out by his defense again
in the fth, when left elder Josh Hamilton
caught Alberto Callaspos yball for the sec-
ond out while diving across the foul line with
two men on.
As bats silenced again
Betts slam, Navas three hits pace Sox
Mookie Betts put his rst
grand slam as his top rook-
ie season highlight so far.
Betts hit Bostons
fourth slam of the year,
Anthony Ranaudo
pitched six effective
innings and the Red Sox
beat the Tampa Bay Rays
8-4 Friday night.
After Yoenis Cespedes
drove in his second run of the game with a dou-
ble, Betts connected off Chris Archer (8-7) to
cap a ve-run second inning that made it 8-0.
Ranaudo (3-0), recalled from Triple-A
Pawtucket before the game, gave up three
runs and ve hits. He has won all three of his
big league starts.
Cespedes, Daniel Nava and Wi l l
Middlebrooks each hit RBI singles during a
three-run rst.
Nava, a former College of San Mateo
great, was 3 for 4 in the game. It is Navas
fourth three-hit game of the year, and his
second this month.

notch a second-half shutout.
Hes capable of some spectacular saves,
Skyline head coach Danny Link said. Today
everything was shot at him. Hes a good
enough keeper, he can handle that.
Having played for Juventus club soccer for
the past two years, Franco is accustomed to
high-intensity shots. It has been some time
since he has showed off his chops for
Skyline though. After playing his freshman
season in 2012, he took a redshirt last year
with sophomore Juan Venegas taking over
keeper duties. Franco returned this season to
an auspicious debut Friday, after he and his
teammates got over some early nerves.
The new guys were a little nervous
because its their rst college game, Franco
said. We started off a little shaky early on,
but after that everybody settled down.
The opening-day jitters were apparent
early on, as Delta controlled the tempo of the
game with a relentless front throughout the
rst half. Skyline had one chance in the
sixth minute, but Delta disrupted an inside
pass by Rogelio Lopez from reaching its
mark with Wheaton streaking toward goal.
From there on, Delta dominated the rest of
the half offensively, but managed just one
goal as a result. The score came in the eighth
minute, when sophomore forward Armondo
Villapudua received an assist from Alex
Rodriguez. The give-and-go allowed
Villapudua a 1-on-1 with Franco at close
range, and Villapudua did not miss it.
Leading up to the goal, it was nice, Delta
rst-year head coach Josh Bradley said. It
was one-touch soccer. Six different touches
put Alex Rodriguez in, who then fed the ball
into Armondo, and Armondo nished it real-
ly nicely into the goal.
With eastbound winds whipping the length of
the pitch from goal to goal, the Trojans found
themselves playing into the wind throughout
the second half. Skyline played tentatively for
most of the half, but Francos spirited efforts
seemed to breathe life into his teammates.
The game-tying goal broke a streak of 162
minutes of scoreless soccer mounted by Delta
against Skyline dating back to last year,
when the Mustangs prevailed in the annual
non-league meeting by a score of 6-0.
Costas scoring effort was all the Trojans
would need though. Aformer four-year varsi-
ty starter at Capuchino, Costa is returning to
his natural forward position this season after
playing as a midelder last year as a colle-
giate freshman. He and Wheaton look to be a
promising tandem up front for the Trojans.
And like a good tandem-mate, Costa gave all
the credit for the score to his partner.
[Wheaton] crossed the defender and
tried to put it away. But I got the pass and got
the opportunity to score, Costa said. He
put it right on my feet. All I had to do is con-
trol it and put it in the back of the net.
Fridays match was a momentous home
opener, as it was the rst ofcial Skyline
game played on the recently resurfaced main
soccer eld. In the offseason, the San Mateo
Community College District replaced the old
synthetic turf at each Skyline and Caada
College with state-of-the-art FIFA 2 star
organic eld turf.
The pitch is beautiful, Bradley said.
They did a great job. We look forward to
coming back.
Skyline had the advantage of having prac-
ticed on the new surface since the main eld
was reopened in February. The numerous
Trojans injuries, however, managed to even
up the home-eld advantage. But it was
enough for Skyline to produce an emotional
opening-day draw.
Thats the beauty about soccer, is you can
get outplayed and have that one chance,
Link said.
Caada holds off Cabrillo
Caada head coach Eric Gaspar got the rst
opening-day win of his career, as his Colts
downed Carbillo 3-1 Friday on Caadas
newly refurbished organic turf eld.
The Colts went up early with a pair of rst-
half goals. Woodside alum Kevin Amaya red
in the rst goal in the 18th minute off assists
from Benny Angeles and Jake Retchless.
Diego Garcia-Valencia followed with a score
off a penalty shot in the 39th minute, after
sophomore Marcos Amarilles was tackled in
the penalty box to draw the foul.
In the second half, Cabrillo made it inter-
esting by scoring an early goal. But the
Colts held the one-point differential in check
before adding their nal goal just before the
closing whistle. Caada freshman Omar
Ramirez netted the nal score of the after-
noon on an assist by Amaya.
I think the result is positive but were still
early on. There is a lot of work that needs to
be done, Gaspar said.
Last season, Caada was dealt a strange
loss at the hands of Cabrillo. The two teams
opened the season with a night game at
Cabrillo, with the Colts jumping out to a 3-1
lead. In the 68th minute, however, the venue
suffered a power outage and the game was
forced to be rescheduled. According to
Gaspar, Coast Conference bylaws state any
rescheduled game halted prior to the 70-
minute mark must be replayed in its entirety.
A month later, Cabrillo went on to win the
replayed game.

ALAMEDA Coach Dennis Allen says he
expects to know who will start at quarterback
for the Oakland Raiders when the team returns
to practice Monday.
Asore elbow for Matt Schaub and a strong
nish to the preseason by rookie Derek Carr
have injected some doubt into what had
seemed to be a resolved issue as recently as
four days ago.
Allen said unequivocally Monday that
Schaub would start the opener at the New York
Jets on Sept. 7 even as he was sitting out the
week of practice with a sore throwing elbow.
But Allen was far from denitive on Friday,
a day after Carr threw three touchdown passes
and led the Raiders to the end zone on all four
drives he played in the exhibition nale
against Seattle.
Theres a lot of things that go into a per-
formance, Allen said. Theres a lot of
things that factor into the decision-making
process. But I will say that I was very pleased
with what I saw out of Derek Carr last night.
Carr was sharp from the start against the
defending Super Bowl
champions, showing no
fear of attacking the NFLs
most feared defense. He
drove the Raiders down the
eld on the opening drive
against Seattles starting
defense, twice targeting
All Pro cornerback
Richard Sherman, includ-
ing on an 11-yard pass to
Denarius Moore on third-
and-10 to set up a TD run
by Latavius Murray.
They were the No. 1
ranked defense in the
league last year. Allen
said. Its a good defensive
football team and they had
nine of their 11 starters
playing. But what I really
look at is, I look at the
offensive unit as a whole.
Carr then took advantage of two short elds
provided by the special teams to throw back-
to-back TD passes on successive one-play
drives, connecting with Moore from 36 yards
out and Mychal Rivera on a 20-yard score.
Carr ended his night with another long
drive, capped by a perfectly placed back-
shoulder 11-yard TD pass to Moore. Carr n-
ished 11 for 13 for 143 yards and three touch-
downs, completing all four third-down pass
attempts for 62 yards.
Carr completed 66.7 percent of his passes
in the preseason, with four touchdowns, one
interception and a 108.2 passer rating.
The Raiders did not expect Carr to chal-
lenge for the starting spot so soon after they
drafted him in the second round out of Fresno
State. That pick came less than two weeks
after they acquired Schaub in a trade from
Houston and immediately anointed him the
starter.
But the debate could be moot if Schaubs
sore elbow doesnt heal enough to allow him
to practice this week. The injury has been lin-
gering for much of training camp and Schaub
told Allen last week it was bothering him.
Schaub sat out practice all week, throwing
only a little on the side with a trainer.
Schaub was excused from the team Friday to
deal with a personal issue but Allen said he
expected him back when the team resumed
practice Monday.
I think the biggest thing really is to check
on Matt and see where Matt is health-wise,
Allen said. He was making some progress
last week throwing on the side with the train-
ers. I feel like hell be ready to go but I think
we need to see how hes feeling Monday when
he gets in here.
Schaub has struggled when he has played,
completing just 24 of 47 passes for 218
yards, no touchdowns and one interception
for a passer rating of 55.1 this preseason.
Schaub has led the Raiders to two scores on
15 drives this preseason and completed just
two passes that traveled more than 10 yards
downeld.
NOTES: The Raiders began making cuts to
get the roster down to 53 but will wait to
announce any moves until after Saturdays
deadline. ... Allen said he expected K
Sebastian Janikowski to be ready for the
opener after sitting out with a sore quadriceps.
... TE David Ausberry is expected back at
practice Monday following knee surgery ear-
lier in the month. ... Backup LB Kaelin
Burnett did not play Thursday after injuring
his knee in practice.

Sara Errani outlasts
Venus Williams at U.S. Open
NEWYORK Sara Errani wagged her n-
ger and cupped her hand to her ear for the
U.S. Open fans who tried to will Venus
Williams to victory.
Two points from defeat, the diminutive
Italian rallied to force a third-set tiebreaker
and outlasted Williams in a match that was
both lopsided and tight.
Errani won 6-0, 0-6, 7-6 (5) in the third
round Friday after Williams had a chance to
serve out the match in the nal set.
Williams twice came back from down a
break in the third but was done in by too
many unforced errors she made 52 in all.
Trying to close out the match at 5-3, the
19th-seeded Williams had one of her eight
double-faults.
The 13th-seeded Errani next faces qualier
Mirjana Lucic-Baroni, who stunned second-
ranked Simona Halep 7-6 (6), 6-2. The 32-
year-old Lucic-Baroni hadn't made a Grand
Slam round of 16 since 1999, waylaid by
injuries and nancial struggles.
Errani, who wasnt thrilled with fans
yelling out support for her opponent during
her serves, won just 12 games in three pre-
vious meetings with Williams. But in the
rst set, Williams couldnt take advantage
of her power, making just 30 percent of her
rst serves.

Physically, hes a lot different than he was
a year ago.
Mackenzie Morehead has also shown
strongly during camp and is projected to be
DAmbras backup. But that, most likely,
would only be case of an emergency as
Morehead, at 6-5, 200 pounds, will be vital
in other areas for the Knights.
Hes going to play a number of spots for
us, Newton said, indicating he would be
used as a defensive end and tight end. Hes
too good to keep off the eld.
As usual, the Knights will rotate in sever-
al wide and slot receivers throughout a
game, with the likes of Jack Marren, Sam
Ferguson and Michael Reed all expected to
see action in the receiving game.
[Marren] is a great football player. Hes
got great eld awareness, Newton said. On
offense, Jack can really play every posi-
tion.
All three will also be involved in the
opponents passing game as well because
all hold down a starting position in the
defensive secondary.
Newton also believes he has enough col-
lective talent to replace Travis Chambers in
the offensive backeld. Ferguson will see
some carries this season, but the bulk of the
load will fall to his younger brother, sopho-
more Charlie Ferguson, and junior Charlie
Roth.
We have a number of running backs,
more than weve had in the past, Newton
said. Charlie Roth and Charlie Ferguson
are both really good running backs. I think
Charlie Roth is a really special high school
player.
The Knights should have the time neces-
sary to execute the offense with three start-
ing offensive linemen returning in seniors
Chris Crouch (tackle) and Gregor Yock
(guard), and junior John Guiragossian
(guard).
The lack of depth, always an issue at
Menlo, means many of their key players
will be going both ways in some capacity.
Look for Sam Ferguson and Marren to lead
the defense from their safety/linebacker
spots.
Our safeties are athletic outside lineback-
ers. They can come up and ll, Newton
said.
Newton believes the defense can be even
better considering the Knights have a num-
ber of starters who gained plenty of experi-
ence last season.
Our defense looks solid, Newton said.
Because its their second [year] in the sys-
tem, they have a better understanding of
what were doing.

I think the run game is where we live, he
said.
Its going to be interesting to see how that
comes to fruition. The four running backs
ticketed for a bulk of the action had 18 total
carries last season. Seventeen of those car-
ries went to Skyler Lautalo, who totaled 87
yards. But with senior Tyrique Johnson at
halfback and rst-year sophomore Stavro
Papadakis at fullback, the Bears expect to run
a pro-style offense based on power and some
play-action looks.
Were going to go out there and compete
and execute to the best of our ability,
Taufoou said. Then well be OK.
Slated to helm the offense in rst-year jun-
ior quarterback Robby Beardsley, and dont
be surprised if the passing game proves to be
an integral dynamic of the offensive scheme
this season. At 6-1, 185 pounds, Beardsley is
a prototypical pocket passer who competed
for the varsity job at the beginning of last
season with Brian Keare; the latter went on to
throw for 2,361 yards in his senior cam-
paign.
That doesnt take anything away from
Beardsley though, who has demonstrated a
born-to-lead persona since the day he
stepped between the white lines at M-A,
according to Taufoou.
Hes an extremely smart kid. Hes a great
leader. He understands our offense, Taufoou
said. Hes the kind of a dude everyone fol-
lows. Hes done a good job working his tail
off the last couple years, so Im looking for-
ward to his rst start at varsity.
And he brings a strong but steady arm to
utilize a trio of mainstay wide receivers.
He can take the top off if needed but he
also understands to take whats given and to
throw the ball where it needs to go, Taufoou
said.
Beardsley should have plenty of targets to
choose from. Newcomer Chase DelRosso
should be the most intriguing if he lives up to
Taufoous billing as having the most explo-
sive speed in the mix. With returners Ben
Stanley at 5-10, and Cole Shaffer at 5-9, it
leaves DelRosso at 5-11 with the tallest
stature of the bunch. But if they work in sym-
phony as Taufoou expects, they should play
to par with any 6-foot-plus trio in the PAL.
I think that whole group can be big-play
guys, Taufoou said. But its really catching
the ball, running good routes, blocking real-
l y, really well.
On defense, perhaps the Bears biggest
addition is assistant coach Jason Hardy. After
serving as defensive coordinator of the frosh-
soph squad last season, Hardy will be charged
with taking over the varsity post. But boy
does he have his work cut out for him. M-A
will see as many as nine new starting defend-
ers this season, many of whom will be relied
upon as two-way players.
Bend but dont break, Taufoou said in
describing his defense of a year ago. They
played really well at times. I think we were
really mature last year. They were an older
team and kids knew what to do. This years
group is a different skill set. But they can
play. Theyre ready to believe in themselves
and go to work.
The nucleus of the linebacker corps will be
Papadakis and another rst-year newcomer
Jack Gray.
Gray is one of the few players who will pri-
marily play one side of the ball. Senior
defensive tackle Laki Fonua his rst name
is pronounced lucky lists as a tight end,
but will likely see a vast majority of time as
a defender.
Despite the low numbers with just 28 play-
ers on roster, Taufoou expects to keep his
perfect playoff record in tact.
I kind of feel likes M-As diversity, and
were a big enough school, well get enough
talent that we should be in the playoffs every
year. I really believe that, Taufoou said.
M-Awill have a fantastic Week 3 challenge
in non-league play, hosting Los Gatos on
Sept. 12. It was Los Gatos who eliminated M-
Afrom the CCS Division II playoffs with a
35-6 triumph last year. In fact, Los Gatos
went on to win the D-II title, defeating
Taufoous alma mater St. Francis 31-14 in the
championship game.

home loss to the Colts on Sept. 22, two days
after he was arrested and jailed on suspicion of
DUI and marijuana possession. After the game,
he publicly apologized for his behavior and
later announced he would leave for treatment.
While the Niners went on a ve-game win-
ning streak without him, Smiths menacing
presence was sorely missed. The team still
picked up his 2015 contract option this spring.
In his latest run-in with the law, Smith was
arrested April 13 at Los Angeles International
Airport. Police said Smith was randomly select-
ed for a secondary screening and became unco-
operative with the process, telling a TSAagent
that he had a bomb. No charges were led.
In November, he pleaded not guilty to three
felony counts of illegal possession of an assault
weapon, stemming from a June 2012 party at
his home. Investigators said several shots were
red, two partygoers were injured and Smith was
stabbed. In the subsequent investigation, pros-
ecutors say detectives found ve unregistered,
illegal weapons in Smiths house.
Last season, Smith nished with 8 1/2 sacks
and 34 tackles in 11 games with eight starts. He
was initially worked back in slowly, but demon-
strated he had stayed in shape while away.
Selected seventh overall in the 2011 draft out
of Missouri, Smith had a franchise-record 19
1/2 sacks during the 2012 season for the 49ers,
who lost to Baltimore in the Super Bowl after
that season.

the university so the results of the vote are not
known.
A more immediate concern is Saturdays
game, the start of what both teams hope will be
a rebound season.
California went 1-11 last year, its rst under
Sonny Dykes. The lone win was against lower-
division Portland State after losing the season-
opener to Northwestern. The Golden Bears lost
their nal 10 games and have dropped 16
straight to FBS opponents.
Things werent quite as bad for Northwestern,
but they sure were disappointing. The Wildcats
were 4-0 coming off a 10-win season and were
leading Ohio State by 10 at home before every-
thing unraveled.
With that in mind, here are some things to
look for in this game:
QBs in the spotlight
Californias Jared Goff is looking to build on
a strong freshman season, while
Northwesterns Trevor Siemian hopes to show
he can handle the job by himself after sharing
time with Colter the past two seasons. Siemian,
a senior, has thrown for more than 3,700 yards
in his career, and he ranked sixth in the Big Ten
in completion percentage (59.7) last season.
Goff was one of the few bright spots for Cal last
season, breaking the single-season school
records for yards passing (3,508), total offense
(3,446), passes completed (320) and passes
attempted (531). He is also fully recovered after
having surgery on his throwing (right) shoul-
der.
Its been a year and everythings slowing
down and becoming more comfortable, Goff
said. Last year at this time I didnt really even
know what to expect.
Slow it down
Fitzgerald wasnt happy last year when Dykes
accused Northwestern of feigning injuries to
slow Cals no-huddle offense. And he insisted
this week thats not the Wildcatsstyle.
I think I made my point pretty clear after the
game, Fitzgerald said. Its not something that
we do.
Unbearable D
Cal comes in with a revised defense and a new
coordinator in Art Kaufman after giving up 45.9
points per game while getting devastated by
injuries. Defensive end Brennan Scarlett is back
after missing last season because of a hand
injury, and the Golden Bears are counting on
him to ignite their pass rush.
No green RB
Yes, losing Mark hurt Northwestern. But they
still have a solid tailback in Treyvon Green. He
ran for 736 yards 5.4 per carry and eight
touchdowns as a junior last season.
More balance?
As good as Goff looked last season, Cal had
no balance on offense, ranking fth in passes
and 104th in rush attempts. With freshmen Tre
Watson and Vic Enwere along with returning
running backs Daniel Lasco and Khalfani
Muhammad, Cal has more options to run.

players and the team itself.
A grand jury indictment released
Friday charges that Haider Zafar

This structure has been in the backyard of this home for 50 years.

WASHINGTON More Americans
signed contracts to buy homes in July,
a sign that buying has improved as
mortgage rates have slipped, the num-
ber of listings has risen and the rate of
price increases has slowed.
The National Association of
Realtors said Thursday that its sea-
sonally adjusted pending home
sales index rose 3.3 percent to
105.9 last month. Still, the index
remains 2.1 percent below its level
a year ago.
Ian Shepherdson, chief economist
at Pantheon Macroeconomics, called
the increase positive but stressed
that home buying was unlikely to
strengthen signicantly
Sales cannot rise much more before
they hit the fundamental problem that
the pool of would-be buyers is just not
big enough, Shepherdson said.
The pressures that caused home sales
to stall last year have started to ease.
The average 30-year xed mortgage
rate has dropped to 4.1 percent, a 52-
week low. Prices are no longer rising
at double-digit annual rates, thereby
helping to improve affordability.
Pending sales are a barometer of
future purchases. Aone- to two-month
lag usually exists between a contract
and a completed sale.
The number of signed contracts in
the Northeast climbed 6.2 percent and
is ahead of its pace last year. Pending
sales also rose in the South and West,
though the index for both regions
remains below its levels in July 2013.
Contracts in the Midwest fell 0.4 per-
cent last month and also lag behind
the pace of a year ago.
Modest wage growth, which has
barely run ahead of ination, has ham-
pered home sales. The Realtors fore-
cast that roughly 5 million existing
homes will be sold this year, down
from 5.1 million in 2013.
But price growth, which had hurt
affordability at the end of last year,
has moderated in recent months.
The Standard & Poors/Case-Shiller
20-city home price index rose 8.1 per-
cent in June from 12 months earlier,
according to a report this week. Year-
over-year price gains at the start of
2014 had averaged more than 13 per-
cent, according to the Case-Shiller
index.
And while more homeowners have
started to list their properties for sale,
the ability of the real estate market to
grow is limited.
Thats largely due to the conse-
quences of the housing bust that trig-
gered the Great Recession at the end of
2007. Nearly 35 percent of homeown-
ers are still effectively underwater
on their mortgages: They either have
less than 20 percent equity in their
homes or they couldnt sell their prop-
erties and have enough money left for
a down payment on another home, the
online real estate rm Zillow said this
week.
Contracts to buy U.S. homes rise in hopeful sign
The average 30-year xed mortgage rate has dropped to 4.1
percent, a 52-week low.

new school year means new high
school students, and new students
mean fresh perspectives on topics
concerning high schoolers. But welcoming
new writers means saying goodbye to two
of our 2013-14 columnists, Annika Ulrich
and Janani Kumar. Annika and Janani,
thank you for sharing your unique perspec-
tives and personalities with us over this
past year. We wish you the best in all of
your future endeavors we hope to read
about your perspectives and experiences in
the years to come.
My name is Mari
Andreatta and I am a sen-
ior at Notre Dame High
School in Belmont,
where I am currently
serving as the
Associated Student Body
president. I enjoy doing
philanthropic work with
my mom through National Charity League,
rocking out with my sister during our
morning car rides to school, and going on
runs around the neighborhood with my dad.
I am thankful and thrilled to be returning as
an intern and Student News columnist with
the Daily Journal for a second year. In the
last year, I shared views on the various
challenges of high school sports, the
calculated Miley Cyrus, the real beauty
of Malala Yousafzai, the importance of giv-
ing back to the community, the Catholic
churchs Pope Francis agenda, among
other topics I was honored to be able to
share my perspective and hope to do more
of the same this year.
It is now my pleasure to introduce my
four fellow columnists for this next school
year: Emily Shen, Dominic Gialdini,
Arianna Bayangos and Mayeesha Galiba.
Emily Shen is a junior this year at
Aragon High School. She has always been
fascinated with communication, whether it
be passive or active, through words or
through art. Currently a news editor for her
school newspaper, The Aragon Outlook,

LAKE CITY, Pa. Its no secret technol-
ogy is changing our television-viewing
habits.
Americans are increasingly engaging in a
practice known as television binge-watch-
ing going through several episodes of a
TVshow in a single stretch. In the old days,
of course, people watched one episode a
week. That changed with digital video
recorders and Internet streaming services
such as Netix and Hulu. DVDs and online
services also make it possible to start
shows from the beginning, even years after
the nale has aired.
I used some recent trips to finish
Showtimes Dexter and start CBS The
Good Wife. In between, I breezed through
Netixs Orange Is The New Black and the
second season of House of Cards. I have
about 50 series on various watch lists - and
people are continually recommending
more. I know what Ill be doing this Labor
Day weekend.
So why am I unhappy about this new way
to watch TV?
AVOIDING SPOILERS:
The biggest challenge with binge-watch-
ing is avoiding mentions of plot twists and
other spoilers in the news media, on social
networks and in casual conversations.
Although friends on Facebook restrain
from giving specifics, they often say
enough to signal that something surpris-
ing just happened. Please! When I got to

STUDENT
of Thrones last year, I thought to myself,
thats it? It became a letdown rather than a
shock as fans watching at the time experi-
enced it.
Worse, I knew how the serial-killer drama
Dexter ended long before I got to watch the
nal season during a trip to California this
summer. Yes, its my fault for not keeping
up; the nale was shown last September. But
this column is about what I miss about
watching television the old-fashioned way.
I also know whats coming on The Good
Wife three seasons from the one Im cur-
rently watching. Then again, hearing about
that plot twist this spring got me interested
in the legal drama. Amazon Instant Video
made it possible to start watching from
Season 1.
AVOIDING SPOILING:
Aware of how it feels to hear about spoil-
ers, Im careful not to spoil others. But its
hard to keep track of what I can say to whom.
How I Met Your Mother ended its nine-
year run in March. To minimize the risk of
spoilers, I watched it the day after the nale
aired on CBS. But my friends were still
months behind and werent available to dis-
cuss the meeting of the mother with me.
Same goes for Breaking Bad, which
ended last fall after ve seasons to critical
acclaim. Its a show many people want to
watch, but relatively few have nished. Will
you hurry up so I can talk about it?
THE PASSAGE OF TIME:
I lose the sense of time by binge-watch-
ing. I dont mean hours lost to television
when I could be doing something useful to
society, like laundry. Many television
shows follow the seasons. Characters mark
Christmas in December and Valentines Day
in February. Leaves are colorful in the fall.
When I binge-watch, I dont always get a
good sense of whether something I watched
just four hours ago really took place four
weeks or four months ago.
I also miss having a week or even a sum-
mer to reect. Instead of challenging my
mind to play out potential outcomes follow-
ing a cliffhanger, I can simply press play
to nd out in the next episode.
The last series I truly watched live was
Lost. I dont mean watching on a DVR that
night or the next day. I mean watching it as
it aired - usually at a bar in New York lled
with fans who were quick to shush anyone
who tried to talk. I spent the week between
episodes discussing theories with friends,
reading blogs and listening to podcasts
devoted to the show. For the nale in May
2010, a friend in Belgium at the time even
dropped by our gathering in New York for a
surprise visit. Alas, a friend who just went
through the entire series online this spring
didnt have those opportunities.
Of course, Lost isnt like most series.
And its true that some shows are easier to
follow by bingeing. Twist-heavy shows
such as Revenge and Scandal come to
mind. But overall, youre losing something
when youre not watching shows as they air.
TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING:
Netix has been one of the biggest pro-
moters and enablers of bingeing. As it
does with all other original series, Neti x
released the entire fourth season of Arrested
Development at once last year.
I watched all 15 half-hour episodes in a
single day, even after I started getting tired
toward the end. I felt I had to race through the
season or risk hearing about plots and jokes
from other sources. Those nal episodes
were less enjoyable and less memorable as a
result.
Ive also let too much of my life slide try-
ing to catch up on shows. In the past, when
you heard about a good show, you started
with the next episode that aired, and you
managed to gure out what was going on.
Nowadays, theres a temptation to start from
the beginning, even as new episodes air,
such that it becomes overwhelming to catch
up and keep up.

NEWYORK Joan Rivers remained in
serious condition in a New York City hos-
pital Friday, one day after going into car-
diac arrest at a doctors office.
Melissa Rivers said in a statement
Friday that her mother was receiving the
best treatment and care possible. She
also thanked Rivers fans and friends for
their support.
My mother would be
so touched by the trib-
utes and prayers that we
have received from
around the world,
Melissa Rivers said.
Her condition remains
serious ... We ask that
you continue to keep her
in your thoughts as we
pray for her recovery.
The Mount Sinai Hospital said it had no
updates Friday. On Thursday, hospi t al
spokesman Sid Dinsay confirmed that
Rivers had been taken there that morning.
New York City police officials, who
spoke on the condition of anonymity
because they werent authorized to pub-
licly name Rivers, said she was taken to
the hospital just after 9:30 a.m. Thursday.
It was unclear why she was visiting the
doctors office.
The comedian with a half-century of
show business under her belt has spawned
a reputation for often-snarky red carpet
fashion commentary. A show she had
scheduled Friday at the Count Basie
Theatre in New Jersey, has been post-
poned.
An early and outspoken proponent of
cosmetic surgery, Rivers drastically
altered her appearance over the years
and found plenty of material for jokes.
(Ive had so much plastic surgery, when I
die they will donate my body to
Tupperware.)

THE PASSENGER DOCUMENTED:
AIRLINE LUGGAGE LABELS, BAG
TAGS AND TICKETS, AT THE SAN
FRANCISCO AIRPORT AVIATION
MUSEUM AND LIBRARY. During the
19th century, luggage labels were supplied
by steamship companies to passengers for
identication purposes. Soon after, hotels,
resorts and railroad companies offered
labels, and printing companies began pro-
ducing artistic, eye-catching designs.
Passengers accumulated these labels on
their luggage as status symbols and pictori-
al records of their journeys.
Following the development of airline
commercial passenger services in the
1920s, luggage-label art became an impor-
tant tool for advertising air services. Labels
were illustrated with the airlines logo and
often included destinations, route maps or
light and dark backgrounds symbolizing
night and day service. During the 1930s,
40s and 50s, the art on luggage labels
reached a high level of sophistication, com-
parable to that found on airline travel
posters. By the 1960s, carriers reverted
back to issuing labels designed specically
for identication purposes. These were usu-
ally branded with the airlines corporate
colors and logo and featured lines for a
name, address and phone number.
During the 19th century, steamship com-
panies and rail lines set the precedent of
selling tickets to reserve specied travel
services. When commercial airlines arose
during the 1920s, tickets came in many
forms. Beginning in the 1930s and contin-
uing into the present, airline tickets have
consisted of long, rectangular strips of
paper, or coupons, for each leg of a ight.
Within the last decade, internet-purchased e-
tickets have become more common than
coupon tickets and have allowed passengers
to print their own boarding passes, or pro-
duce them from a machine at the terminal.
Aselection of these bag tags and tickets
are displayed through October 2014 at the
San Francisco Airport Aviation Museum and
Library in The Passenger Documented:
Airline Luggage Labels, Bag Tags and
Tickets. Information about this and other
museum exhibits may be found at www. y-

By Jake Coyle
Very soon, this whole structure that we all
love so much will be gone, prophesies
Danny Hustons wide-grinning movie studio
head in Ari Folmans The Congress.
Hes speaking to Robin Wright, who plays
a version of herself in the lm. In a meeting
with Wright and her perplexed agent (Harvey
Keitel), Hustons Jeff Green, the head of the
wryly ctional Miramount Studios, relishes
foretelling a coming doomsday for actors: a
reckoning that will rid the movie business of
their gross inefciency.
All the trappings of movie stardom the
trailers ... the skipping out on PR ... the coke
... the sexual kinks, he glowers, is disap-
pearing. The industry is changing, and he
couldnt be happier to see picky actors like
Wright vanish.
What he wants is to scan her, to sample
her and turn Wright, or as he says, this thing
called Robin Wright, into a digital avatar
that the studio can control completely. She
just has to sign, never act again, and she (or
specically a younger, 34-year-old computer-
generated version of her) will live on in what-
ever movies Miramount wants.
I need Buttercup from Princess Bride,
Green says. I need Jenny from Forrest
Gump. This is the brilliant, high-concept
start of Folmans follow-up to
Waltz With Bashir, the hyp-
notic, Oscar-nominated, ani-
mated documentary about a
(real) Israeli soldiers nightmares of regret
from a 1982 massacre of Lebanese civilians.
Like that lm, The Congress is wholly
unique hallucinogenic concoction of psycho-
logical trauma and orid cartoon.
Adefeated Wright goes in for the scan. Her
agent urges her to, lamenting the squandering
of her once-promising career: Lousy choices.
Lousy movies. Lousy men. Ouch. (The sound
you hear is a thousand actresses shuddering.)
The lm shifts forward 20 years and it gets
trippy in a hurry. When Wright arrives in a
restricted animated zone, she drinks down a
vial that converts her and her surroundings
into loony, The Yellow Submarine-style ani-
mation. The road turns to rainbow. A sperm
whale breaches alongside her convertible.
Youd swear Ringo is in there somewhere.
Wrights avatar is now a global star, her image
beamed across adverts on oating blimps. A
future forecast by a cynical doctor played by
Paul Giamatti has come to pass: people leave
their lives behind in a bizarre, animated play-
ground of chemically induced fantasy.
Green is still presiding over Miramount,
but hes now preparing for another revolu-
tion, pushing still further away from reality.
He now wants to bottle celebrities like
Wright, allowing them to be ingested, drunk
in a milkshake. (Tom Cruise is also among
the avors.)
The Congress gets lost in its surrealism
and turns into a metaphysical mess. Its the
whole structure of The Congress that falls
apart, quite intentionally. Wrights animated
odyssey is lengthy and muddled (Jon Hamm
drops in as the head of animation for
Miramount), and the inelegant imagery saps
the lm of its energy, even if it ts Folmans
scheme.

This disparate group includes the 50ish
Chutes & Ladders (Anthony J. Haney), an

Ishida), a smart-mouthed Japanese
American; and the newest member,
Fountainhead (Patrick Kelly Jones). Hes a
30ish entrepreneur on his way down because
of his addiction, which he tries to hide from
his family. Hes having a hard time kicking
the habit.
Over the course of the two-act play, sever-
al characters take tentative strides to
improve their lives and/or to connect with
others, but its not easy.
Intelligently directed by Leslie
Martinson, each actor portrays a distinct,
interesting character confronting chal-
lenges.
Erik Flatmos multi-level set creates
dened spaces for the action, augmented by
Erik Scanlons projections. The sound
design by Gregory Robinson includes
works by pioneering jazz saxophonist
John Coltrane, whom Yazmin cites in one

pelling theatrical experience.

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Moonlight and Magnolias is a behind-
the-scenes look into the process of trans-
ferring Gone With the Wind from print to
screen 75 years ago.
Based on actual events, Ron
Hutchinsons comedy shows that despite
the books enormous popularity, it was-
nt easy to distill the 1,037-page saga of
the Civil War South by Margaret
Mitchell.
Dragon Theatres intimate stage (set by
Kevin Dunning) facilitates the sense of
confinement imposed by producer David
O. Selznick (Aaron Weisberg), who brings
in newspaperman Ben Hecht (Dave Leon)
to write the screenplay with the assistance
of director Victor Fleming (Bill C. Jones).
Hecht is trying to succeed where numerous
other writers have failed.
Theres one more problem: Hecht hasnt
read the book. Therefore, his two col-
leagues venture to re-enact it for him dur-
ing the five days that all three are locked in
Selznicks office with nothing to eat
except bananas and peanuts.
Their only contact with the outside world
is Selznicks beleaguered secretary, Miss
Poppenghul (Sarah Benjamin).
The recently defunct San Jose Repertory
Theatre successfully presented the Bay
Area premiere of the play in 2006 under the
astute direction of Timothy Near.
Unfortunately, Dragon director Lennon
Smith seems unequal to the plays chal-
lenge.
Weisberg and Jones do fairly well as
Selznick and Fleming, respectively, but
Leon is too one-dimensional as Hecht.
Benjamin seems to be directed to be one
step above the dumb blonde, belying the
efficiency of the characters actions.
Thus the play tends to be flat rather than
funny, a disservice to this look at what it
takes to create cinematic magic, which is
what Gone With the Wind was and still
is.
Moonlight and Magnolias will contin-
ue at Dragon Theatre, 2110 Broadway,
Redwood City, through Sept. 7. For tickets

NEW YORK The rank of mega-stars
who are known simply by one name
includes, of course, Madonna, Cher,
Beyonce and Bono. Oh, and one more, sure-
ly that man-boy known as Screech.
Samuel Screech Powers of the 1990s TV
show Saved by the Bell has become
almost an icon for gross ineptitude. He
was adorkable before there was such a thing.
He even had a catchphrase: Zoinks!
Dustin Diamond, the man behind Screech,
is 37 now. His hair is cut close to his skull
and he wears a beard, both ecked with gray.
Hes married, works as a stand-up comedian,
and lives near Milwaukee.
For Diamond, Screech has been a curse
and a career. He played the character for a
decade and then tried to run away from
Bayside High as fast as he could: Diamond
was a jerk in a season of Celebrity Fit
Club that he said was scripted. He released
a sex tape, which he said was faked. And he
revealed sordid details in a tell-all book,
Behind the Bell, which he said was embel-
lished by a ghost writer.
Diamond is back this Labor Day weekend
mining familiar territory: Lifetime TV i s
airing The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell
Story on Monday, which Diamond execu-
tive produced. And hes stepped into the off-
Broadway Bayside! The Musical! playing
you guessed it Dustin Diamond, a man
who never left high school.
The Associated Press sat down with
Diamond to discuss the show, his missteps
and killing Screech.
AP: Your rel at i on-
shi p t o t he show i s
s ort of l ove- hat e,
i sn t i t ?
Diamond: Everybody
of any magnitude that I
can possibly think of has
gone through love-hate
relationships with some-
thing that becomes so
big. The bigger it is, the
more you go through it.
Think of Star Trek or any band Hey,
play Free Bird! Great song, Im proud of
the song but Im sick of playing it. Give me
some time away and, after theres some
space created, then you can come back and
give big hugs to the thing that brought you
there.
AP: Youve tried to wriggle fre e
with Celebrity Fit Club, porn and
the book. How did that go?
Diamond: That was really the one-two-
three punch of being the bad boy, not the
squeaky-clean Screech you remember,
which, on one hand, helped because it did
break that image. But in retrospect, I kind
of wish I hadnt gone exactly that route. But
theres no instruction book for any this.
You dont know whats going to work. You
have to take a gamble. I wanted to rattle the
cage, but I didnt think that it would rattle it
so much.
AP: Why did that show seize the
culture so powerful l y?
Diamond: We never knew. I think look-
ing back, the look and style of everything
really sits well with nostalgic feelings of
being young and being in school. The color
palates that we chose, the outts we were
wearing, it kind of spoke to that genera-
tion.
AP: Have you kept in touch with
some of your Saved by the Bel l c o -
stars like Mark-Paul Gosselaar or
Ti ffani Thi essen?
Diamond: They cant say they really
know me. The last time I saw Mark-Paul and
Tiffany, I was 16. That was 21 years ago.
Thats a hefty amount of time to traverse in
growth. Ive done a lot of stuff since I was
16. I made a lot of growth changes.
AP: What can we expect from the
TV movi e?
Diamond: The Lifetime movie is going
to be based on my book in the way that its
a behind-the-scenes look, but my book was
written by a ghost writer, and they tried to
milk the negativity. It wasnt supposed to
be a dirty tell-all.
AP: So the movi e wi l l set some of
that right?
Diamond: Yes. The overall vibe, the
overall feel, should be pretty surprising. I
think people who are warm to the show are
going to watch it and really enjoy it. And
the people who are skeptical are going to
watch it and say, Wow, OK. This wasnt
what I thought it was going to be at all.
AP: The musical has been rewritten
to accommodate you. Are you havi ng
fun?
Diamond: Oh, yes. With parody, theres
new ground to be found. Its not in the con-
nes of Hey, keep it serious. This is the
real deal here. Now its poking fun at the
real deal, so theres a whole brand new well
to dig around in. Now if I did this for the
next 10 years, I might become sick of it,
t oo.
AP: In both these projects, youre
exorci si ng demons by goi ng to the
very heart of Screech.
Diamond: Think of it like a wrestling
match: Youd never leave the ring because
then youd lose the match. This thing is on
top of you, trying to pin you down. And
youre wriggling and wriggling, ailing
and tossing, to get this thing off of you.
But when you do, you dont walk away from
it. You mount it, right? Im mounting it.

Councilman Bob Grassilli voted along
with Councilman Matt Grocott against
the plan they believed would increase
trafc, eliminate precious open space
and tax the citys coffers building
elds and ghting expected litigation
by neighbors. The tentative deal called
for the building of a new Charter
Learning Center on the land. The dis-
trict would have given the city approx-
imately 4 acres on the backside of
Tierra Linda, a 2.9-acre open space
piece adjacent to Heather currently
used as a dog park and $1.5 million to
invest in a city-owned athletic eld at
Tierra Linda. If any of the three parcels
were ever used or sold for develop-
ment, the city and school would have
split the prot s.
Although many trustees seemed to
see advantages of housing the school
at Heather, a trafc study, along with
the Charter Learning Centers prefer-
ence to stay at Tierra Linda won the
majority of board members over.
A lot of the advantage of Heather
was the boundaries and things we can
control for future growth, said Trustee
Kathleen Farley. The traffic study
changed my mind. There are a lot more
ifs. The city is going to have to deal
with trafc and safety. I didnt nd any
alternate options.
The Charter Learning Center wrote a
letter to the district expressing its
preference to stay at Tierra Linda, cit-
ing that theres more available acreage
for growth there, the fact its already a
known commodity in the Tierra Linda
community and the lighter trafc bur-
den if the school were kept where it is.
The school wrote it prefers the upper
part of the Tierra Linda parcel.
School Director Stacy Emory and
Matt Kowitt, chair of the schools
board of directors, signed the letter
dated Aug. 26.
We should note that last spring,
when the GC (schools governance
council) discussed this topic, a majori-
ty of our board actually favored
Heather as a Plan B site for SCCLC,
they wrote. What has changed since
then is that, with the Crestview pro-
posal dead, we have taken a much clos-
er look at the details of each scenario.
Walking the back field area of
Heathers campus creates a qualitative
impression of a very large expanse of
level ground, compared with looking
around the upper portion of Tierra
Linda. It is only with careful, quantita-
tive measurements and reection that
we discovered the signicant disparity
between the two options, in terms of
acreage.
Its also assumed that the existing
facilities for Edison Montessori and
the district preschool would be relocat-
ed from the Tierra Linda campus, the
school wrote.
We do not envy the decision the
Board of Trustees must make but we
are supportive of the need to decide and
move forward, the letter stated. This
is an exciting time for SCCLC and the
district and we are anxious to roll our
sleeves up and begin the work of plan-
ning and building our new home.
Still, trustees like Nicole Bergeron
thought trafc at Heather wouldnt be
as much of a problem as at Tierra
Linda.
It was a full on comprehensive high
school with 1,600 kids, she said. I
dont think that trafc is the biggest
issue for us to consider. The reasons to
keep it at TL (Tierra Linda): thats
where CLC (Charter Learning Center)
wanted to go and the neighbors have
built culture. Theres a lack of need to
fully go through that again up at
Heather and there was a considerable
amount of negative feedback from
Heather, while scarcely anyone at TL
was against it. Its a trafc concern,
but thats not fundamentally our job.
The districts most recent traffic
study, completed by Parisi
Transportation Consulting this
month, showed that among the scenar-
ios studied, increasing enrollment at
both the Charter Learning Center and
Tierra Linda at their current location
generates the greatest negative impact
to trafc circulation. According to the
study, the growth at Charter Learning
Center and Tierra Linda is estimated to
add between 170 and 200 one-way auto
trips to San Carlos Avenue between the
school and Alameda de las Pulgas. The
Heather scenario generates a modest
benet to trafc circulation on San
Carlos Avenue north of Alameda de las
Pulgas by diverting more than 100
trips. These trips would divert to
Alameda de las Pulgas between
Melendy Drive and San Carlos Avenue.
However, locating Charter Learning
Center at Heather would also add
approximately 320 new one-way trips
to Melendy Drive. The hilliness and
narrowness of the road may cause
localized circulation problems.
Alameda de las Pulgas at Melendy
Drive is a potentially affected intersec-
tion.
Board President Adam Rak shared
that he had a weak preference toward
Heather before.
Either option, I will be ne with
it, he said. Well move on and make
things work. The more concrete view
from TL is helpful. I prefer upper TL,
but Im happy to have that next discus-
sion.
On the other hand, Trustee Carol
Elliott has had preference for Tierra
Linda.
Ive long viewed TL as a better
site, she said. Preserving Heathers
ability to expand gives us optionality.
I think we will continue to see growth
at Heather that campus is going to
see more students at some point. I real-
l y, really think its crucial to develop a
robust carpooling pattern for when
people move up to TL.
The relocation and building of a new
campus will be funded through the
2012 $72 million Measure H facility
bond.

SCHOOL
By David Bauder
NEWYORK Chelsea Clinton said
Friday she is quitting her job as a
reporter at NBC News, citing increased
work at the Clinton Foundation and
the imminent birth of her rst child.
Bill and Hillary Rodham Clintons
daughter had been working at the net-
work since 2011, sporadically doing
feature stories on people or organiza-
tions doing public-spirited work.
Politico magazine reported earlier this
year that NBC was paying her
$600,000 a year.
I loved watching
the `Making a
Difference stories
about remarkable
people and organi-
zations making a
profound difference
in our country and
our world, Clinton
said in a statement
posted on her Facebook page. I am
grateful NBC gave me the opportunity
to continue this important legacy.
She was initially hired to do stories
for Brian Williams Rock Center
newsmagazine, but that program was
canceled. Her work occasionally
appeared on NBCs Nightly News.
Two Clinton stories that aired in
January were on education programs
targeting the underprivileged. Shes
done stories on a school program for
jailed teenagers named after Maya
Angelou, an Arkansas tutoring pro-
gram and a restaurant chain that
donates leftover food to the needy. Her
story on actor Jeff Bridges work on
childhood hunger aired Aug. 1, and
another story about a school lunch
program for poor children in New
Mexico is scheduled to air this Sunday.

Case Number: 124763
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: JOHANNA J. DeTOMA-
SI. A Petition for Probate has been filed
ROBERT CHRISTOPHERSON by in the
Superior Court of California, County of
San Mateo. The Petition for Probate re-
quests that ROBERT CHRISTOPHER-

sentative to administer the estate of the

bate. The will and any codicils are availa-
ble for examination in the file kept by the

The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent

thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: September 23,
2014 at 9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal au-
thority may affect your rights as a cred-
itor. You may want to consult with an at-
torney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

go and about four who jump at the opportu-
nity. Departments throughout San Mateo
County have aided in combating this years
wildres, having sent more than 55 re-
ghters and 22 vehicles as of the beginning
of August. Each department is reimbursed
for its personnel time and equipment costs
by the state or federal government, Menlo
Park Fire Chief Harold Schapelhouman said
previously.
In his 15 years of service, including time
working for a re department in Tahoe,
Menard said hes assisted with about 16 res
outside of his jurisdiction. Last December,
he spent a few days at the Pfeiffer Fire in
Monterey and left July 2 to assist with the
Butts Canyon Fire in Napa.
Menard said his recent deployment was
the sixth time hes worked as a single
resource overhead. With short notice,
Menard said he must move quickly to help
intervene when one of the hard-working
reghters are injured.
When he arrives at an incident, Menard
said he is paired up with a reline EMT, after
which they travel rugged terrain to be as
close as they safely can to working re-
ghters.
Consider me basically a wilderness
ambulance on standby. ... Were usually sit-
ting in a four-wheel drive SUV, listening to
all the different radios and if someone gets
hurt were right next to them basically for
immediate response, Menard said. So if a
tree falls on them, or a guy cuts his leg on a
chain saw or a guy falls off a cliff, my part-
ner and I are as close to those guys working
as possible.
Menard said his treatments range from as
basic as handing out water bottles and tend-
ing to poison oak, to more intensive trau-
mas that require hiking with medical gear to
vehicle accidents or what they call snags,
when a burned tree falls atop a reghter.
During his last deployment, there were
ve cases that necessitated helicopter evac-
uation, Menard said.
Recently, the toughest one was probably
the re captain that got hit by the log
rolling down the hill who had a broken leg
and lacerated liver, Menard said. Thats
tough, because hes out there working hard,
hes doing his job.
Menard said protocol has changed since
the tragic 2008 death of reghter Andy
Palmer, who it took more than three hours
to evacuate to a hospital after he was struck
by a falling tree.
Menard said he works closely with the
division group supervisor and safety ofcer
at the beginning of an operational period to
come up with a worst-case scenario plan.
The goal is to evacuate a patient from any
location within an hour, Menard said.
Large fires or disasters are managed
through the incident command system. Its
like a managerial family tree; a group of
reghters are overseen by a chief, then a
group of chiefs are overseen by another
leader and so on. As a reline paramedic,
Menard said he works within the medical
division of the logistics section.
We use it on a very small scale here day
in and day out. And maybe well go to a
house fire and theyll be three or four
engines and a battalion chief, Menard said.
At these (wildres) we have hundreds of
people in the incident command system and
... its very thorough and complex.
Menard said hes always at ease in the
wilderness and is training to become med-
ical unit leader. Menlo Parks qualied re-
ghters rotate going out and Menard said he
hopes to be assigned at least once more this
season.
But, Menard said, the rst priority is to
make sure his home district is taken care of.
Each time is a learning experience and
Menard said the department is fortunate to
have leadership like Schapelhouman who
supports assisting outside agencies in
times of emergency.
Its good because were basically partici-
pating in statewide aid, Menard said. So
when we need help, they know that were a
team player.
The assignments are far from easy, but
Menard said the skills he garners ghting
wildres translates to beneting the com-
munity.
I love it. Its great experience for me. It
makes me better at my job here. ... We just
come back from these res with more educa-
tion, more experience that we can pass on
to people here and hopefully provide better
service to our community, Menard said.
You come back and just feel like youve
really accomplished something.
MENARD
Diamond Bar, and co-authored by state Sen.
Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, would require public
schools to stock epinephrine auto injectors,
commonly known as epi-pens, on campus.
The medicine can be administered quickly and
safely if a student suffers from a serious aller-
gic reaction during school hours, according
to Huff.
Current state law allows public schools to
stock epinephrine, but does not require it.
The bill made its way to the Senate after pass-
ing through the Assembly unanimously with
a vote of 68-0. The bill next goes to Gov.
Jerry Brown for a signature.
SB 1266 will help save lives by ensuring
emergency medication is available at
schools, especially helping students who
dont know they have an allergy, Huff said
in a prepared statement. Im thankful to the
numerous medical professionals, nurses and
parents who testied on our behalf. This was
truly a team effort.
Hill is pleased with the unanimous support
the bill received.
I co-authored Senate Bill 1266 with
Senator Bob Huff because I believe its essen-
tial that an emergency supply of this medi-
cine that can save studentslives be available
in our schools, Hill wrote in an email.
Were grateful for the strong support this
legislation has received from our colleagues
in the Senate and the Assembly, and from
parents, students and medical profession-
als.
The path to passage of a bill that has union
pushback is usually more laborious, Huff
noted. The California Teachers Association
opposed the bill, fearing it could put teachers
in a position beyond their training. Aschool
nurse or, if the school does not have a school
nurse or the school nurse is not on site or
available, a volunteer may administer an epi-
nephrine auto-injector to a person exhibit-
ing potentially life-threatening symptoms
of anaphylaxis at school or a school activity
when a physician is not immediately avail-
able. If the epinephrine auto-injector is used,
it shall be restocked as soon as reasonably
possible, but no later than two weeks after it
is used, according to the legislation. The
teachers unions would rather see more school
nurses hired on to administer epi-pens.
Educators remain very concerned about
the health and safety of all students, but there
are still cost issues associated with this bill
that educators remain very concerned about,
said CTAspokesman Mike Myslinski. The
bill does not account for costs for school dis-
tricts of keeping records concerning the buy-
ing and disposition of the injectors, for
example. Or for staff to monitor the supply
of injectors and to ensure the destruction of
expired injectors. Also, there are costs for
annually reporting data on the number of
times injectors are used, among other costs.
Huff made amendments to the bill that
include the fact volunteer or trained per-
sonnel means an employee who has volun-
teered to administer epinephrine auto-injec-
tors to a person if the person is suffering, or
reasonably believed to be suffering, from
anaphylaxis, and has been designated by a
school and has received training.
Additionally, if the Commission on State
Mandates determines that this act has state-
mandated costs, there should be reimburse-
ment to local agencies and school districts.
According to Food Allergy Research &
Education, an advocacy group that sponsored
Huffs bill, as many as 15 million Americans
suffer from life-threatening allergies to
things such as bees, shellsh or nuts, gluten
or latex. It is estimated that nearly 6 million
of these people are children under the age of
18. Approximately 25 percent of rst-time
allergic reactions that require epinephrine
happen at school and these potentially lethal
allergic reactions are skyrocketing, accord-
ing to Huffs ofce.
Id like to thank my colleagues in both
the Senate and the Assembly for their unwa-
vering support to put the safety needs of our
children rst, Huff said in the statement.
Im hopeful that the governor will see the
need for this legislation and sign it into law.
This is not a political issue. This is a safety
issue.

requires a two-thirds majority. The proposal
found favor with Democrats but Senate
Republicans did not provide the necessary
votes needed to refer the bill to committee.
Mullin said the lack of immediate reform
could mean a repeat performance of the con-
trollers race in which the third-place nish-
ers call for a recount tied up some Southern
California elections ofce and left results in
limbo.
Its disappointing to see an opportunity
to address a fundamental democratic princi-
ple like the election process denied this
year for partisan reasons, Mullin said in a
prepared statement.
Mullins bill proposed a state-funded
manual recount when the margin of victo-
ry for any state office or ballot measure is
one-tenth of 1 percent. The cost was esti-
mate at about $1.9 million per recount.
Currently, a candidate seeking an election
pay for the effort and choose which coun-
ties and in what order they want the manu-
al tally done. The opponent can then do
the same if votes are lost, hypothetically
going back and forth until all votes are
counted or money is exhausted.
Mullin announced plans for recount
reform after state controller candidate John
Perez, a termed-out Los Angeles assembly-
man, launched a recount in the June primary
race for state controller. Only 481 votes
separated second-place nisher Betty T. Yee
and Perez in third place. The two top vote-
getters face off in November so the recount
was to decide who would run against Fresno
Mayor Ashley Swearengin, who received
the most votes. The recount began but Perez
called it off after only acquiring a handful of
new votes.
The recount debacle exposed serious
aws in the system and xing it should be a
bipartisan interest, Mullin said.
Mullin is not swayed from seeking to
overhaul existing policy and said Friday he
will introduce more comprehensive recount
reform legislation on the rst day of the
next session in December. The upcoming
bill will include the same automatic trigger
for a statewide recount and address the
process for presidential elections ahead of
2016. The bill will also expand audits to
verify election results, according to
Mullins ofce.
Because the new bill will not include an
urgency clause, Mullin said he is optimistic
it stands a better chance with only a simple
majority threshold.
STALLS
By John Heilprin
GENEVA The civil war in Syria has
forced 3 million people out of the country,
including more than a million people who
ed in the past year, creating a crisis that
the U.N. refugee agency said requires the
biggest operation in its 64-year history.
The tragic milestone means that about
one of every eight Syrians has ed across
the borders, and 6.5 million others have
been displaced within Syria since the con-
ict began in March 2011, the Geneva-
based agency said. More than half of all
those uprooted are children, it said.
Syria had a prewar population of 23 mil-
lion.
The Syria crisis has become the biggest
humanitarian emergency of our era, yet the
world is failing to meet the needs of
refugees and the countries hosting them,
said U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees
Antonio Guterres.
The agency had described the 3 million as
a record, but later qualied that the Syrian
crisis was record-breaking in terms of the
unprecedented size and scope of the $3.74
billion operation needed to care for the
refugees.
The recent surge in ghting appears to be
worsening the already desperate situation
for Syrian refugees, the agency said, as the
extremist Islamic State group expands its
control of broad areas straddling the Syria-
Iraq border and terrorizes rivals and civil-
ians in both countries.
According to the agency, many of the new
arrivals in Jordan come from Syrias north-
ern province of Aleppo and the northeastern
region of Raqqa, a stronghold of the group.
An independent U.N. commission says the
group is systematically carrying out wide-
spread bombings, beheadings and mass
killings that amount to crimes against
humanity in both areas.
Three million refugees is not just anoth-
er statistic. It is a searing indictment of our
collective failure to end the war in Syria,
Angelina Jolie, the U.N.s refugee agency
special envoy, said in a statement follow-
ing the release of the report.
The commission investigating potential
war crimes in Syria said on Wednesday that
the Syrian government of President Bashar
Assad likely used chlorine gas to attack
civilians, who are bearing the brunt of a
civil war that has killed more than 190,000
people and destabilized the region.
The massive numbers of Syrians eeing
the civil war has stretched the resources of
neighboring countries and raised fears of
violence spreading in the region. But some
fear the worlds attention is getting divert-
ed.
With so many crises erupting simultane-
ously around us, with so much suffering,
there is a risk that the victims of the Syrian
crisis and their needs will slip from the pub-
lic eye, said Kristalina Georgieva, aid
chief for the European Union, regarding the
3 million Syrian refugees.
The U.N. estimates there are nearly
35,000 people awaiting registration as
refugees, and hundreds of thousands who are
not registered.
The refugee agency and other aid groups
say an increasing number of families are
arriving in other countries in shockingly
poor condition, exhausted and scared and
with almost no nancial savings left after
having been on the run for a year or more.
In eastern Jordan, for example, the
agency says refugees crossing the desert are
forced to pay smugglers $100 per person or
more to be taken to safety.
As of Friday, Lebanon had 1,176,971
Syrian refugees, the single highest number.
Turkey had 832,508; Jordan 613,252; Iraq
215,369; Egypt 139,090; and North Africa
23,367.
