ISLAMIC STATE GROUPS WAR CHEST IS GROWING DAILY

No parent wants to see his or her 2-
year-old battle cancer, but Patricia
Watson and Jesus Pea took just that
experience to create the Julianas
Journey Foundation to help fight
childhood cancer.
The South San Francisco child lost
her battle with neuroblastoma in
2012, but her parents want to carry out
the mission of raising awareness and
funds to assist pediatric clinical trials
at UCSF Medical Center. Watson and
Pea have received four proclamations
in the last month from the Daly City,
San Bruno and South San Francisco
city councils and the San Mateo
County Board of Supervisors. State
Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, intro-
duced a resolution declaring September
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
That resolution passed unanimously in
August.
Theres not as much awareness
about childhood cancer, said Watson,
who is founder and treasurer of the
organization. Everyone knows what
the pink ribbon stands for. These
kids that were fighting for, they
deserve a chance to live.
Unfortunately, our daughter didnt get
that chance.
Watson works full time on the foun-
dation which, in July, donated
$15,000 to UCSF for childhood cancer
research. Neuroblastoma is a tumor of
nerve tissue that develops in infants
and children and can occur in many
areas of the body. It develops from the
tissues that form the sympathetic

Cops: Man hid drugs in
anti-drug stuffed animal
PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. State
police say theyve arrested a 22-
year-old New York man after he was
found with marijuana, cocaine and
LSD hidden inside a stuffed animal
dressed in an anti-drug T-shirt.
Troopers say Gregory
Bolongnese, of Plattsburgh, was
arrested Monday at the bus station in
his hometown near the Canadian
border. They say they found two
grams of pot, about a half-gram of
cocaine and LSD inside a stuffed lion
doll wearing a D.A.R.E. shirt.
D.A.R.E. stands for Drug Abuse
Resistance Education, a program
that aims to educate young people
about staying away from drugs,
gangs and violence.
Bolognese was charged with crimi-
nal possession of a controlled sub-
stance and unlawful possession of
marijuana. It couldnt be determined
if he has a lawyer.

county struggling
with stinky building
ALAMOGORDO, N.M. Acounty
government building in southern
New Mexico stinks.
And the Alamogordo Daily News
reports that Otero County officials
are deciding whether to relocate staff
that can no longer put up with the
putrid smell in the Administration
Annex Buildings basement.
Commissioner Ronny Rardin said
Thursday hes worried about the staff
since the offending scent is permeat-
ing the buildings substructure. He
says the odor has been around since
the county first moved into the
building in 2008.
Officials say the exact cause of the
recurring smell is unclear.
Giant San Diego panda
gets chipped tooth fixed
SAN DIEGO Bai Yun, the San
Diego Zoos giant female panda, has
been known to chew on bamboo up
to 12 hours a day, so when she
chipped a lower tooth, veterinarians
had to fix it.
The 23-year-old panda went to the
dentist Wednesday, got a shot to
make her numb and got the chip
repaired, a cleaning and X-rays.
The Los Angeles Times reports a
dental composite was used to fill the
damaged tooth.
Bamboo is chewy but to get
enough nutrition out of it, a panda
has to break it apart and chew a lot.
Police: Two boys confess
to preschool pumpkin heist
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Two
juvenile suspects have confessed to
picking clean a pumpkin patch that
was cultivated by New Mexico
preschoolers, police said Friday.
According to investigators, the
two boys admitted raiding a small
pumpkin patch cared for by students
at Eastern New Mexico Universitys
Child Development Center.
The school has received dozens of
donated pumpkins since news of the
plunder went viral.
Surveillance footage released
Friday showed a group of boys walk-
ing around the university at night as
one kicks around a pumpkin like a
soccer ball. Another boy carries a
pumpkin away, the footage showed.
School officials found the handful
of pumpkins missing and vines
destroyed Monday morning. The
Portales schools 26 students had
studied and watered them since they
were sprouts, officials said.
Eastern New Mexico University
police said surveillance footage of
the heist and a tip led investigators
to the boys.
Eastern New Mexico University
Police Chief Brad Mauldin said once
the two boys were confronted they
confessed pretty quickly. This was-
nt a hard case to break at all,
Mauldin said. The evidence was all
right there.
Footage also shows two other
male juveniles involved, and author-
ities are expected to question them
soon, police said.

Lost their sole
Apair of shoes were taken from a work
locker on Vintage Park Drive in Foster
City before 4:21 p.m. Monday, Sept. 8. T
h e p r i o r i t i e s o f f a t h e r s i n
t h e e a r l y 1900s boiled down to
providing rent for a house, food for
the table, clothes for the kids, a car for him
and lastly, an occasional movie.
The most important activity in the house-
hold was washing clothes and providing
meals.
Our kitchen was to the rear of the house
and it had a cast-iron cook stove in it that
was used for cooking and heating. It used
wood and corn cobs for its fuel. The corn
cobs were gotten for a farmer friend and
stored in a shed behind the house. We would
bring the cobs into the house by the buck-
et. That was my job. Behind the stove was a
space large enough for us kids to crawl
behind and get warm on cold, winter morn-
ings. All of the kitchen activity centered
around this stove, especially on Mondays.
Mondays were always remembered as bean
day. It was the day that mothers washed
their clothes.
Tubs full of water were needed to wash the
families clothes. We did not have a water
heater in the house; they came later, so the
water had to be heated on the large iron
cook stove. Early in the morning, 6-7
oclock, Dad had to get up and start a re in
the stove. As the stove heated up, he would
ll a large 15-gallon copper tub with water
that was placed on the left side of the stove
top. After this was accomplished, he mixed
up a batch of oatmeal in a large aluminum
container and put it on top of the stove. He
had to continually stoke the re. While this
was happening, he rolled in a washing
machine from the back porch into the
kitchen and began getting it ready for the
clothes. The washing machine did not have
a rinse tub in it so two large galvanized tubs
were placed beside the washing machine
where the clothes could be rinsed. The room
was very crowded by this time and kids were
not allowed in the kitchen. After the water
was hot enough, it was bucked into the
washing machine and tubs. The washing
machine had a spring-washer on it that was
used to wring out as much of the wash water
as possible before the clothes were put into
one of the rinse tubs. Next came a three-
step process: 1). Put wet clothes in the
ringer on the washing machine; 2). Put
wrung-out clothes in rst tub; and 3).
Transfer the wet clothes into the second tub
after wringing them out again. Then the
nal step was taking the clothes out of the
second tub, wringing them out and putting
them into a wicker basket. In time, these
clothes would be taken outside winter or
summer and hung on one of three wires
strung the length of the backyard to dry.
This was an adults job as the wires were too
high for the kids to reach. In winter, when
weather was really bad, my mother would
hang the clothes inside the house on every
surface or chair available. The pungent odor
of wet clothes drying permeated the entire
house for hours.
The entire procedure of washing clothes
for a large family would occupy the mothers
for the entire day from sunup to sundown.
However, meals had to also be prepared dur-
ing wash time. To feed the family, Mom had
a system worked out that satised everyone
in the family. In the morning, she would
put a large pot of water on the stove and l l
it up with uncooked beans. Beans took a
long time to cook, almost all day, and little
time was needed to watch them. After the
kids went to school, she then made up a
batch of bread in a large pan. Once this was
mixed, the bread took time to rise and she
was free to hang clothes on the line outside.
By ve oclock, dinner time, the bread
would be baked, the beans would done, and
the clothes washed. These meals would be
long remembered by the kids.
The tradition of Monday wash day lasted
for many generations.

An 11-year-old was killed Sunday
morning in a crash on Interstate 280 in
Burlingame, according to the
California Highway Patrol.
Officers responded around 12:55
a.m. to a report of pedestrians on the
shoulder of northbound Interstate 280,
south of Trousdale Drive.
Ofcers said the pedestrians were the
driver and a passenger of a black
Chevrolet SUV that had driven off the
road and down an embankment.
Ofcers said an 11-year-old passen-
ger in the vehicle was pronounced
deceased at the scene.
Ofcers said the SUV was traveling
north on the highway when the driver
lost control, and the vehicle veered off
the road and down the embankment.
The right area of the SUV crashed
into a tree, killing the 11-year-old.
Ofcers said it appears everyone in
the vehicle was wearing seatbelts at
the time of the crash.
The driver suffered major injuries,
but the injuries were not life threaten-
i ng.
Other passengers in the crash were
transported to the hospital with minor
injuries.
Ofcers said it does not appear alco-
hol was involved in the crash.

Eleven-year-old killed in crash on Interstate 280

SACRAMENTO Rising income inequal-
ity has led to slowing tax revenue growth in
California, but the state has responded by
increasing its top marginal tax rate, causing
its growth rate to accelerate after 2009,
according to a new study released Monday
by credit rating agency Standard & Poors .
The new S&P report found that
Californias average sales tax revenue
growth went from nearly 11 percent between
1950 and 1979 to a low of 3.4 percent
between 2000 and 2009.
Since 2009, the state has recovered some
of its growth to 7.2 percent.
Nationally, as the share of income going
to the top 1 percent of earners over the past
three decades, the report says the rate of
state tax revenue growth has halved, taking
a toll on state governments.
Last month, Gov. Jerry Brown suggested
that Democratic policies are helping to
combat the wealth gap.
If the consumers are up to their eyeballs
in debt, arent making a decent salary, how
the heck are they going to buy anything?
Brown asked in addressing the California
School Employees Association, a school
labor group. And if they dont buy any-
thing, the economy doesnt go forward and
doesnt work.
Brown championed his tax measure and
won in November 2012. Proposition 30
raised the statewide sales tax to 7.5 percent
for four years and income taxes rates to
between 10.3 and 12.3 percent for seven
years on income over $250,000 a year.
Millionaires pay an additional 1 percent,
bringing the top income tax rate to 13.3
percent.
When it was passed, the Brown adminis-
tration declared that Proposition 30 makes
Californias tax system more fair and
helped prevent devastating cuts to public
schools and higher education.
Also, Californias rst minimum wage
increase in six years started in July, rising to
$9 an hour. It will climb to $10 an hour in
2016.
The income gap is expected to play a
role in this years race for governor, in
which Republican candidate Neel
Kashkari, a former U.S. Treasury official
and Goldman Sachs investment banker,
has sought to highlight Californias sta-
tus as having the highest poverty rate in
the nation to challenge Brown.
Kashkari has called for a massive overhaul
of the states education system to combat
poverty. He said Brown and fellow
Democrats in the state Legislature are
unwilling to implement major overhauls
because of political and nancial ties to
powerful teachers unions. Browns nance
spokesman, H.D. Palmer, said the governor
reformed school funding to direct more
money to lower-income students, foster
children and those who are English-learners.
The root cause of income inequality is a
failure of our education system, Kashkari
said. People who get a good education are
able to ride the economic growth opportuni-
t y. If you dont get a good education, youre
left behind as the economy expands.
According to 2012 Census data,
Californias bottom 20 percent of house-
holds earn an average of a little more than
$12,500 a year. The top 20 percent of
households earn nearly 17 times more at an
average of about $211,000 a year.
The top 5 percent of average households
makes roughly $369,000 a year.
S&P: California recovers growth with tax increases
The root cause of income inequality is a failure of our
education system,Kashkari said.People who get a
good education are able to ride the economic growth
opportunity. If you dont get a good education, youre
left behind as the economy expands.

CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico
Hurricane Odile grew into a major storm
Sunday and took aim at the resort area of
Los Cabos, prompting Mexican author-
ities to evacuate vulnerable coastal
areas and prepare shelters for up to
30,000 people.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center in
Miami said Odiles core was on a track to
pass close to or directly over the south-
ern end of the Baja California Peninsula
late Sunday and into Monday.
All preparedness actions to protect
life and property should be rushed to
completion, the center said in a bul-
letin.
Rain began falling at midafternoon,
hours before the storms expected
arrival.
Odiles maximum sustained winds
were 125 (205 kph) Sunday afternoon,
down a bit from earlier in the day. Its
center was about 140 miles (225 kilo-
meters) south-southeast of the southern
tip of Baja California and was moving
to the northwest at 15 mph (24 kph).
David Korenfeld, director of Mexicos
National Water Commission, described
Odile as highly dangerous.
After reaching Category 4 strength
Sunday, Odile was downgraded to
Category 3. But it was still a major
storm that threatened to bring high
winds, deadly surf and heavy rains to
Baja and parts of the mainland, and fore-
casters said it could strengthen again as
it approached land.
Some 800 marines were on standby,
and ofcials readied heavy equipment to
help out in areas where mudslides could
occur. Police with megaphones walked
through vulnerable areas in Cabo San
Lucas urging neighbors to evacuate.
Im leaving. Its very dangerous
here, said Felipa Flores, clutching a
plastic bag with a few belongings as she
took her two small children from her
neighborhood of El Caribe to a storm
shelter. Later on were going to be cut
off and my house of wood and laminated
cardboard wont stand up to much.

GAZACITY, Gaza Strip Some half mil-
lion Gaza children made a delayed return to
school on Sunday after a devastating 50-day
war with Israel that killed more than 2,100
Palestinians and damaged hundreds of
school buildings.
Gaza Education Ministry official Ziad
Thabet said the opening is for 230,000 1st
to 12th graders attending public schools,
200,000 going to United Nations-run
schools and tens of thousands enrolled in
private institutions.
The opening was delayed for two weeks
because of damage to schools and the diver-
sion of U.N. school buildings for use as tem-
porary centers to house tens of thousands of
displaced people. Some 50,000 people are
still being housed in the U.N. schools, the
U.N. Palestinian refugee agency said.
Early Sunday the Gaza City streets were
crowded with children dressed in a broad
array of school uniforms, many accompa-
nied by parents or older siblings.
In the Al-Zaitoun boys elementary
school, students pasted stickers with the
names of fellow students killed during the
war, as teachers struggled to cope with the
badly damaged facilities a hole in a
ceiling here, a partially collapsed wall
there.
Im not as excited coming to school as I
was in the past, said student Tamar Toutah,
11. I feel that something is missing. I
asked about my fellow students, but some
were killed or wounded.
Thabet said that unlike in previous years
the rst week of instruction in government
schools will be given over to providing
psychological counseling and recreational
activities to help the war-weary children
transition to learning.
We gave special training to more than
11,000 teachers and 3,000 principals and
administrators about how to address students
after the war, he said.
Thabet said 26 Gaza schools were
destroyed during the war, and another 232
sustained damage.
He said government funding for education
remains spotty, with no money provided for
operational expenses since the formation of
a unity government earlier this year between
Hamas, the Islamic militant group that runs
Gaza, and the Western-backed Palestinian
Authority based in the West Bank.

LUHANSK, Ukraine Months of daily
shelling reduced the east Ukraine city of
Luhansk to a ghost town, silent but for the
explosions.
On Sunday, following a cease-re agree-
ment signed Sept. 5, residents in the second-
largest city held by pro-Russian rebels in east
Ukraine emerged in a rare show of jubilation
that was half celebration, half simply relief at
the reprieve in the violence.
The same wasnt true of the largest rebel
stronghold of Donetsk, where ghting around
the government-held airport has caught many
residential neighborhoods in the crossre.
The city council of Donetsk conrmed in a
statement Sunday that there were civilian
casualties, but couldnt specify how many.
Ukrainian National Security and Defense
Council spokesman Volodymyr Polyovyi
told journalists that government troops had
repelled an attack on the airport by about 200
ghters.
The cease-re deal has been riddled by vio-
lations from the start, and both sides have
made it clear that they are regrouping and
rearming in case the ghting starts anew.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and
German Chancellor Angela Merkel spoke by
phone late Sunday and expressed concern
about violations of the cease-re regime,
according to a statement published on the
Ukrainian leaders website.
In Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula that
Russia annexed from Ukraine in March, resi-
dents voted for regional parliamentary elec-
tions dominated by Russian President
Vladimir Putins backers, although the results
werent yet available.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Valeriy Heletey
told Channel Five on Saturday that delivery of
weapons from NATO countries, agreed upon
earlier this month, was under way. Another
senior ofcial announced the arms deal last
week, although four of the ve NATO coun-
tries he had mentioned denied those claims.

DENTAL IMPLANTS

WASHINGTON Islamic State militants,
who once relied on wealthy Persian Gulf
donors for money, have become a self-sus-
taining nancial juggernaut, earning more
than $3 million a day from oil smuggling,
human trafficking, theft and extortion,
according to U.S. intelligence ofcials and
private experts.
The extremist groups resources exceed
that of any other terrorist group in histo-
ry, said a U.S. intelligence ofcial who,
like others interviewed, spoke on condition
of anonymity to discuss classied assess-
ments. Such riches are one reason that
American ofcials are so concerned about
the group even while acknowledging they
have no evidence it is plotting attacks
against the United States.
The Islamic State group has taken over
large sections of Syria and Iraq, and con-
trols as many as 11 oil elds in both coun-
tries, analysts say. It is selling oil and
other goods through generations-old smug-
gling networks under the noses of some of
the same governments it is fighting:
Kurdish-controlled northern Iraq, Turkey
and Jordan.
While U.S. intelligence does not assess
that those governments are complicit in the
smuggling, the Obama administration is
pressing them do to more to crack down.
The illicit oil is generally transported on
tanker trucks, analysts said.
Theres a lot of money to be made, said
Denise Natali, who worked in Kurdistan as
an American aid ofcial and is now a senior
research fellow at National Defense
University. The Kurds say they have made
an attempt to close it down, but you pay off
a border guard you pay off somebody else
and you get stuff through.
The price the Islamic State group fetches
for its smuggled oil is discounted $25 to
$60 for a barrel of oil that normally sells
for more than $100 but its total prot s
from oil are exceeding $3 million a day,
said Luay al-Khatteeb, a visiting fellow at
the Brookings Institutions Doha Center in
Qatar.

driving around the United States in their
fth wheel trailer and truck interviewing
successful authors and asking them stories
about their writing to honor them. So far,
theyve met and done video interviews with
47 writers or experts on writers. Interviews
are done at the places where the writers
write.
These are amazing people, Mason
said. It occurred to me two weeks ago
think how different the world would be if
17th century England had been like were
today. Everybody would have known who
the actors were but no one would remem-
ber who Shakespeare is. We know Brad
Pitt, but not Jim Harrison.
The couple has interviewed novelists like
Harrison, who wrote Legends of the Fall,
Michael Blake, the Oscar-winning screen-
writer of Dances with Wolves, poets, jour-
nalists, science writers and one songwriter.
Their interviews have been viewed nearly
150,000 times. As theyve traveled,
theyve also given dozens of media inter-
views and offered free slideshow talks in
schools, libraries, bookstores and for civic
groups. It takes 5,200 hours from start to
nish each interview. Theyve hit 17 states
thus far.
We only interview people who write
because they breathe, Slaughter said.
Theyre the people who cant do anything
but write. Sometimes theyre people we read
and adore and sometimes its serendipity.
Both Slaughter and Mason enjoy reading,
writing and storytelling and Mason co-
authored a book on math and science in
1973 while at Nueva. Slaughter served on
the board of directors of Willamette Writers
and was Willamette Writers Conference
chair. In 1997, Slaughter and Mason went
with their daughters on a one-year, around-
the-world adventure. As a result, they
became some of the earliest bloggers.
Its not only just the travel and the free-
dom of getting around the country, what we
love most is just the chance to honor a
group of people that everyone seems to for-
get about, Mason said. They have done
very well nancially, but very few people
know who they are. Theyre the people who
carry the stories that make our culture and
we seem to forget. We love honoring them.
How long do they see themselves doing
this?
When it stops getting fun and interest-
ing, well stop, Mason said.
Mason and Slaughter have many favorite
interviewees, including Diana Gabaldon,
author of The Outlander series, whose
video probably has the most views, they
said. Theyve also interviewed experts on
Ernest Hemingway, Jack London and John
Steinbeck.
For now, Authors Road is run off of
Social Security checks.
This is not a money-making thing, this
is a gift, Mason said. We hope to house
the archives at a university and were work-
ing on materials for teachers.
For more information, or to view the
interviews, go to authorsroad.com.
Authors Road is a nonprot and accepts
donations. Specifically, Slaughter and
Mason are looking to replace a camera and
computer with new funds.

Getting those who signed up this year
enrolled again for 2015 wont be as easy as it
might seem. And the laws interaction
between insurance and taxes looks like a sure-
re formula for confusion.
For example:
For the roughly 8 million people who
signed up this year, the administration has set
up automatic renewal. But consumers who go
that route may regret it. They risk sticker
shock by missing out on lower-premium
options. And they could get stuck with an out-
dated and possibly incorrect government sub-
sidy. Automatic renewal should be a last
resort, consumer advocates say.
An additional 5 million people or so will
be signing up for the rst time on
HealthCare.gov and state exchange websites.
But the Nov. 15-Feb. 15 open enrollment
season will be half as long the 2013-2014
sign-up period, and it overlaps with the holi-
day season.
Of those enrolled this year, the over-
whelming majority received tax credits to
help pay their premiums. Because those sub-
sidies are tied to income, those 6.7 million
consumers will have to le new forms with
their 2014 tax returns to prove they got the
right amount. Too much subsidy and their tax
refunds will be reduced. Too little, and the
government owes them.
Tens of millions of people who remained
uninsured this year face tax penalties for the
rst time, unless they can secure an exemp-
tion.
Its the second open enrollment, but the
rst renewal and the rst tax season where the
requirements of the Affordable Care Act are in
place, said Judy Solomon, vice president for
health policy at the Center on Budget and
Policy Priorities, which advocates for low-
income people, and supports the law.
The fact that it is all going to be occurring
within an overlapping and relatively short
time frame ... means that there will be many
issues, she added.
At Foundation Communities, an Austin,
Texas, nonprot serving low-income people,
Elizabeth Colvin says more volunteers will
be needed this year to help new customers as
well as those re-enrolling. Last time, her
organizations health insurance campaign
lined up 100 volunteers. She gures she will
need a minimum of 50 more.
We have less than half the time than last
year, and its over the holidays, she said.
We have a concern about trying to get more
people through the system without short-
changing education, so that consumers know
how to use the insurance theyre enrolling
in,
Some congressional supporters of the law
are worried about more political fallout, par-
ticularly because of the laws convoluted con-
nections with the tax system.
It seems to me there ought to be some way
to better educate folks on what they may face
in this process, Rep. Mike Thompson, D-
Calif., told Internal Revenue Service
Commissioner John Koskinen at a hearing
last week.
Thompson wasnt impressed when
Koskinen said the IRS has put information on
its website and is using social media to get
out the word.
Rep. Bill Pascrell, D-N.J., said in an inter-
view that he disagrees with making people
pay back part of their premium subsidy. That
would happen if someone made more money
during the year and failed to report it to
HealthCare.gov.
Why should individuals be punished if
they got a bump in salary? said Pascrell. To
me, this was not the ACAI voted on.
Last year the federal website that serves
most states crashed the day it went live, and it
took the better part of two months to get
things working reasonably well. This year,
the Obama administration is promising a bet-
ter consumer experience, but ofcials have
released few details. Its unclear how well sys-
tem tests are going.
This coming year will be one of visible
and continued improvement, but not perfec-
tion, said Andy Slavitt, a tech executive
brought in by the Department of Health and
Human Services to oversee the operation.
Insurers say they continue to worry about
connections not fully straightened out
between their computer systems and the gov-
ernments .
They also are concerned about retaining
customers. One quirk troubling the industry
is that policyholders who want to update
their subsidies and stay in the same plan will
have to type in a 14-character plan identier
when they re-enroll online. Thats longer
than a phone number or a Social Security
number, and customers may not know where
to nd it.

Jobs and housing
Editor,
At the Housing Leadership Council
of San Mateo County, our mission to
increase housing in our county has
never been more important. As ever,
what HLC does is not simple or sim-
plistic. There is no easy way to pro-
vide housing for everyone who wants
to live here. At HLC, we are promot-
ing housing growth that is also
inclusive. One way of measuring our
success at including working families
here, is to pay attention to our jobs
-housing t. What this means is that
as we create new jobs, we also ask,
What housing are we also creating
or preserving that is a t for the
buying power generated by those
jobs?
At this time, we are generating a
large number of jobs, critical to our
economic success, that pay less than
$25,000 per year. Another sizable
group of jobs will pay under $50,000
per year. Together these categories of
jobs will account for 75 percent of
the jobs we create here in the next 15
years. At the same time, only about
one in ve of the houses or apart-
ments we offer in the county can be
accessed by families with those
incomes, even if there are two-
income earners.
So this year, the theme at our annu-
al conference is Getting San Mateo
County Jobs-Housing Fit. Join us
for a lively day of presentations,
panels and discussions. We are very
excited about Housing Leadership
Day 2014, at College of San Mateo
on Friday, Oct. 24. We are pleased to
welcome the community to the
Student Center building on the hill,
where we will meet together again at
Housing Leadership Day No. 15. Join
us to take advantage of the long
views there at the top of your com-
munity campus!

Caltrain needs
more bike capacity
Editor,
Being bumped from the Caltrain
with my bike signicantly affects my
life and ability to do business.
Unfortunately, at least once a week, I
am bumped from not one, but two
trains at the Millbrae station.
Its upsetting despite having
arrived to the station early and wait-
ing patiently for the train to come.
My husband travels to Fourth and
King streets every day and I go to
Palo Alto. We own a car, but prefer
not to drive, especially with how
expensive the commute is in the Bay
Area. However, being bumped from
the Caltrain has been so detrimental
as to make riding it with our bikes a
gamble every morning. I am so
happy to hear that the Caltrain is
adding additional cars to the trains.
Please, please, please consider mak-
ing more cars bike cars.
As we deal with increasingly severe
environmental and economic conse-
quences from climate change, we
absolutely cannot keep being a soci-
ety of drivers. Additionally, its just
plain lovely to not sit in dead
stopped trafc all morning, and to
enjoy the gorgeous landscapes of the
Bay Area from a train car while get-
ting time to read the news and be
alone with ones thoughts.

The plight of children
Editor,
Dorothy Dimitres Heartbreaking
column about the plight of children
is quite accurate, but like most writ-
ers who identify the problem, she
offers no solutions (Sept. 10 edition
of the Daily Journal).
This is an issue that has increased
over the last few decades, where now
these discarded children are having
their own babies with even less par-
enting skills than their parents. No
one doubts the importance of
Michelle Obamas campaign to get
children to exercise, but imagine how
much more impactful (and controver-
sial) she could have been if the thrust
of her campaign was to encourage
individuals without the economic or
emotional abilities to care for chil-
dren to choose not to have children.
Currently, our incentive system is
backward. We incentivize and reward
the poor to have more children: Need
a bigger welfare check? Have another
child. We need to start thinking out-
side the box and incentivize people
not to have children. Dealing with
the children after they are born is
like putting more and more buckets
under a leaky roof without trying to
x the roof.
Steven Howard

On second thought
Editor,
President Obamas recent
announcement that he intends to
delay the use of executive order for
immigration reform until after the
elections struck me as comical. You
see, vulnerable Democrats in red
states have been calling on the presi-
dent to avoid any executive decisions
until after the November elections.
Even if you are a huge supporter of
our president, you have to admit that
this smacks of pure politics.
This leads me leads to two conclu-
sions: 1). Contrary to what is being
put out there by the media, there are
many Americans rising up against
amnesty out of concern on what they
see on our southern border and our
federal governments feeble response
to it; 2). The Hispanic community
that supports amnesty does not have
the political leverage nationwide that
they think they have.
I nd it interesting that many in
the Latino pro-amnesty community
plead that we have a humanitarian
crisis on the border and we need to
accept these poor uneducated people
from the dangers that they face in
their own countries. Then, out of the
other side of their mouths, they
threaten any politician who is
against comprehensive immigration
reform by promising to punish them
with the growing political power of
Latino voters. This is known as
extortion. Immigration policy
should be based on what is best for
our country, not on what is best for
people in our country illegally. Our
immigration policies are not bro-
ken; start by enforcing the laws that
are currently on the books.

I would like to thank Millbrae for
the $43 parking ticket I got while
attending the Millbrae Art & Wine
Festival over Labor Day weekend.
Oops! We didnt see the tiny new

The great book sale
T
his coming weekend, Friends of the San Mateo
Library will be holding its annual book sale, an
event which provides substantial revenue for the
library and substantial bargains for buyers. This year,
volunteers celebrated their 50th anniversary. Since
1964, they have raised $1.5 million for the library,
funds critical in helping the library and its two branches
maintain collections during periods of budget reduc-
t i ons.
The sale adds more childrens books, bestsellers,
eBooks, databases, recorded books, CDs and DVDs to
the librarys inventory. The volunteers maintain an
ongoing bookstore in the Main Library which is open
every day during library hours. They also operate an
online bookstore where books are ordered online and
shipped anywhere in the world.
The success of the book
sale is due in large part to
the generosity of commu-
nity members who donate
new and used books every
year. Its a great way to
clean up your book-
shelves and make room
for new books, many of
them available at the
annual sale including
bestsellers, biographies,
art, cooking mysteries
and childrens books.
Bargains on CDs and
DVDs also abound. Here
are the dates: Friday,
Sept. 19 and Saturday,
Sept. 20 from 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m.; and Sunday, Sept. 21
from 1 p.m.-4:30 p.m.
***
I brought over several boxes last week and a group of
volunteers were busy sorting stacks of overflowing
books in their little cubbyhole next to the information
desk on the first floor. These volunteers put in long
hours every day to make Friends of the Library the suc-
cess it is, especially before the great book sale. There
are 30 devoted volunteers headed by Julie Thoman,
trainer and supervisor, who puts in countless hours
every day. Sherry Fong, who has been volunteering for
18 plus years, said, over the past two years, Friends of
the Library have worked a total of 6,018 hours at an
estimated value of $103,096. Fong is not the only
longtime volunteer. Alma Leseo and Teruko Kubota have
almost two decades to their credit.
***
Does anyone remember Brewer Island? Thats the for-
mer name of Foster City. You can find out how Brewer
Island became what it is today from one of the founding
fathers, T. Jack Foster, who will be speaking at the San
Mateo Main Library on this very topic 7 p.m. Thursday,
Sept. 25. Foster has written a book on The
Development of Foster City. His presentation is part
of the librarys ongoing authors series. Dont know if
he will include this in his talk, but several years ago he
moved from Foster City and is now a San Mateo resi-
dent.

Politicians are always parading their love of veterans.
But in Washington, D.C., and Sacramento, the lobby-
ists and their generous campaign contributions prove to
be more important and irresistible. Take the case of a
bill in the California Assembly by Jim Frazier, D-
Oakley, to tighten regulations on private trade schools
which depend on federal grants to GIs and other stu-
dents.
The main provisions of the bill were gutted after pow-
erful lobbyists had their say. Most of these institutions
promise good jobs after graduation. You can hear and see
their ads on the radio and TV. Nearly 300 California for-
profit schools have received GI Bill money even though
they failed the standards set for other financial aid pro-
grams and cost taxpayers over $638 million over five
years. These schools had low graduation rates and high
rates of student loan default. According to the San
Francisco Chronicle, the University of Phoenix, the
largest recipient of GI Bill money in both California
and the nation, was among the schools that fell short of
both graduation and loan default standards.
The bill to prevent for-profit schools from preying on
veterans at taxpayer expense emerged in the final ses-
sion minus its meaningful provisions. Chain for-profit
schools, including Phoenix, were exempt. Alas, the
stripped-down version was unanimously approved by
the Legislature. Of course for-profit schools a power-
ful lobby vigorously opposed the original bill.

BUSINESS 10
By Matthew Perrone
WASHINGTON From Apples new
smartwatch that tracks heartbeats to contact
lenses that measure blood sugar Silicon
Valley is pouring billions into gadgets and
apps designed to transform health care. But
the tech giants that have famously disrupted
so many industries are now facing their own
unexpected disruption: regulation.
Google co-founder Sergey Brin recently
expressed his frustration with the complex
web of rules that govern the eld.
Health is just so heavily regulated, Brin
told industry executives in July. Its just a
painful business to be in.
Still, tech entrepreneurs are pumping
money into efforts to reshape health care, a
$2.7 trillion dollar market. Venture capital
funding for companies in the digital health
space surpassed $2.3 billion in the rst half
of 2014, more than the $1.9 billion raised
in all of 2013, according to venture rm
Rock Health.
But before tech companies can turn
Americas smartphones into portable med-
ical suites, they must meet the rigorous stan-
dards of the Food and Drug Administration,
which has long been the gatekeeper to the
U.S. health market. Its not hard to nd the
source of the clash between freewheeling
Palo Alto and buttoned-down Washington.
This is a culture war, says Steve
Grossman, a longtime FDA consultant to
companies. Silicon Valley is used to just
bringing their products straight to the mar-
ket and any regulatory scheme that involves
scrutiny and delay is alien to them.
To be sure, tech companies have tussled
with Washington before over issues like
online privacy and intellectual property.
But never before have companies had to sub-
mit products for review before they can
launch.
Some experts say the process is so bur-
densome that tech entrepreneurs are shying
away from the eld altogether. They look at
the environment and the expenses and the
cost of navigating it and just say, To heck
with it, says Colleen Klasmeier, an attor-
ney who advises companies.
The FDAsays it is uninterested in regulat-
ing the vast majority of the 24,000 medical
apps available for download, most of which
perform simple tasks like tracking calories
or helping manage prescriptions.
But last year, the FDA said that it would
start regulating apps and gadgets that col-
lect or track medical information as medical
devices. That means before a product can
launch, the company must show that it pro-
vides safe, accurate information. For exam-
ple, an app that uses an attachment to check
for irregular heartbeats must go through the
same FDA review process as a traditional
heart monitor.
FDA stresses that its guidelines are non-
binding, and that manufacturers should
engage in early collaboration meetings
with the FDA about how their technology
will be regulated.
That recommendation sent Google and
Apple executives ying out to FDAs head-
quarters, seeking clarity on upcoming
health wearables.
On Tuesday, Apple unveiled a smart-
watch that measures users heart rate, calo-
ries burned and other health metrics, which
can be further analyzed via the companys
HealthKit app. Google has developed a
smart contact lens that monitors blood
sugar levels for diabetics.
Silicon Valley struggles to speak FDAs language
By Steve Rothwell
NEWYORK In the world of currencies, the
dollar is starting to look like a safe home in a
tough neighborhood.
A strengthening American economy, com-
bined with a gloomy outlook for growth else-
where, is pushing the U.S. currency sharply
higher.
The dollar is up 6.4 percent against a group of
major currencies since the start of May and has
risen in three of the past four months. The U.S.
currency climbed Tuesday to its highest level in
six years against the Japanese yen, and its trad-
ing at its highest level in 14 months against
the euro.
Acontinued run-up could mean lower prices
for imported cars and crude oil. On the other
hand, it could also crimp prots for U.S. com-
panies as their goods become pricier overseas.
Astronger dollar starts with a healthier U.S.
economy, and recent news on that front has
been mostly good. Construction, manufactur-
ing and autos sales have all posted solid num-
bers.
Those healthy signs have allowed the
Federal Reserve to wind down its economic
stimulus. The Feds next step would be to
raise short-term interest rates from their
near-zero levels, a move that is expected
next year.
Improving growth and the prospect of higher
interest rates make the U.S. a more attractive
place to invest, prompting people to buy dol-
lars and push up the currencys value.
At the same time, the outlook in Europe and
Japan is less encouraging.
While consumption here is not booming, it
is in a better place than it is in Europe or Japan,
says Russ Koesterich, chief investment strate-
gist at BlackRock.
Alook at how a stronger dollar could play out
across nancial markets and the economy:
LOWER COMMODITY PRICES
A stronger dollar lowers prices for global
commodities, which are priced and traded in dol-
lars.
As the dollar rises, commodities such as oil
become more expensive for overseas buyers,
who have to convert their weaker currencies
into dollars. That curbs demand.
The CRB Index, which tracks the price of a
broad range of commodities, has slumped 8 per-
cent since the end of June, while the dollar has
gained almost 5 percent over the same period.
MORE MONEY IN
CONSUMERS POCKETS
A stronger dollar is good news for
American consumers, and not just those who
are traveling overseas. Imported goods such
as autos and computers will cost less to buy.
That could mean more money in shoppers
pockets.
If Im spending less on imported prod-
ucts, then I have more money left over,
says David Lebovitz, a global market
strategist at JPMorgan. I can increase my
overall purchasing, which would be bene-
cial to the U.S. economy.
The U.S. economy expanded 2.5 percent
last year, and the Federal Reserve expects
the growth to continue. The Fed forecasts
growth of about 2.2 percent this year and
3.1 percent next year.
For American travelers, its a little cheap-
er to swing through Tokyo or Paris than it
was at the start of summer. The dollar has
gained 6.8 percent against the euro in the
past four months. It now takes $1.29 to
buy a euro, compared with $1.39 at the start
of May. The U.S. currency has climbed 3.6
percent against the yen in the same period
and currently buys 106.20 yen, up from
101.54 in May.
LOW RATES FOR LONGER
The Fed has been able to hold interest
rates close to zero for years because ina-
tion has remained tame. Consumer ina-
tion is up a moderate 2 percent over the
past year, a level the Fed is comfortable
with.
A stronger dollar could help keep rates
from rising too fast. It reduces the price of
goods that are imported from overseas. And
because the U.S. imports more than it
exports, price increases, on average,
should remain muted.
A HARDER SELL
Astronger dollar also carries risks. It can
hurt U.S. exporters in two ways. It makes
their products more expensive and less
competitive in foreign markets. It also
delivers a blow to prots: Money earned in
foreign currencies is worth less when con-
verted back into dollars.
Companies that make heavy machinery,
such as Caterpillar and Deere, are among
the most vulnerable. Consumer-goods
companies are also likely to feel the
impact. Coach, the maker of luxury hand-
bags, said in August that a sales slide in
Japan had been exacerbated by the yen
weakening against the dollar. Bruce
McCain, chief investment strategist at Key
Private Bank, says that U.S. manufacturers
have slashed costs, helping them to cope
with the higher dollar.
Were in much better shape to weather
the impact of (a higher) currency than we
were in the past, McCain says.
The dollar has yet to reach the level where
its strength would be detrimental to U.S. cor-
porate earnings, says Alessio de Longis, who
manages currency strategies for
OppenheimerFunds. He says the dollar would
have to rise at least another 20 percent before
it became a serious problem.
American recovery drives the dollar sharply higher
By Matthew Perrone
WASHINGTON No Silicon Valley
company better embodies the promise and
the pitfalls of working in health care than
DNA testing rm 23andMe. Launched in
2006 to a urry of media coverage, the
Mountain View, California-based company
seemed to have every strategic advantage:
millions in startup cash, celebrity
endorsements, and a chief executive mar-
ried to one of the co-founders of Google.
23andMe CEO Anne Wojcicki laid out a
bold plan to make genetic testing afford-
able to the general public, while simulta-
neously building a massive archive of DNA
results for use in medical research. More
than 700,000 people have used the compa-
nys test kit, a small plastic tube that cus-
tomers ll with spit and return to the com-
pany for processing.
Wojcicki spoke to the Associated Press
about operating under FDA oversight and
the future of her company:
COST OF AN FDA WARNING
One of 23andMes highest priorities is
to amass a database of 1 million cus-
tomers genetic proles for use in medical
research. With that goal in mind, 23andMe
ramped up promotion and dropped the price
of its saliva-based test kit to $99 from
$299 in 2012. But last years FDAwarning
letter put a damper on that effort. Wojcicki
says 23andMe sales have fallen 50 percent
since November.
23andMe continues to sell genetic
ancestral information and raw, unprocessed
DNAdata.
RISING TO THE
CHALLENGE OF REGULATION
In the aftermath of the FDA letter,
23andMe has brought in four new execu-
tives with backgrounds in the health sec-
tor.
This has actually been a really good
experience for 23andMe because its tak-
ing us up a level, Wojcicki says. And if
we can dene this and if the FDAcan set out
the structure and the path forward, then
they are going to enable an incredible
amount of innovation.
SHYING AWAY FROM HEALTH CARE?
In recent months, several leading tech-
nology executives have bemoaned the dif-
culties of navigating government health
regulations. Wojcicki says Silicon
Valleys reluctance to back health care ven-
tures is a real issue.
When I go to some of the big health
care entrepreneur conferences you see that
there is denitely apprehension about the
regulatory landscape in health and how
aggressive you can actually be.

TRACY ACalifornia produce company
is issuing a recall of some lots of tomatoes
and salad kits that include them because they
may be contaminated with salmonella.
Taylor Farms of Tracy issued the voluntary
recall Saturday night for Expo Fresh Roma
tomatoes shipped to Costco locations in
Los Angeles and Hawthorne in California,
Tacoma and Lynwood in Washington, and
Las Vegas in Nevada. Only tomatoes listed
as packed on Sept. 5 or Sept. 6 are affected.
The recall also includes Sicilian Vegetable
Salad served at deli counters at Safeway,
Vons and Pavilions grocery stores in
California, Nevada and Arizona with use-by
dates of Sept. 20 and Sept. 21. The kits for
the salad contained the tomatoes.
The company says the salmonella was
found in routine testing. No illnesses have
been reported.

Julian Tongamoa may be his name on the
Aragon roster. To his Dons teammates,
however, he is known simply as Bubba.
Tongamoa only played the rst quarter of
Aragons 19-0 victory Saturday at El
Camino, but the senior middle linebacker
set the tone for a stellar shutout perform-
ance by the Dons defense. Before leaving
the game at the outset of the second quarter
with an undisclosed arm injury, Tongamoa
made two key hits to shut down El Caminos
rst possession.
Aragon (2-0) went on to hold El Camino
(1-1) to 126 total offensive yards, including
just 22 yards rushing while the Dons totaled
four interceptions on the day.
[Tongamoa] hustles to the ball every
play, Aragon senior linebacker Jose
Ledesma said. It keeps all of us going. We
know because he does so well, were going
to do great. We carried it over because were
missing him, but that intensity is still
there. Were ghting for him.
Also one of Aragons starting running
backs, Tongamoa was injured on a running
play while being drilled in the backeld by
El Camino defensive end Elton Vargas and
linebacker Shukry Lama. At that time, the
Colts defense was putting on a show of
dominance of its own.
Aragon missed a golden opportunity at
the end of the rst quarter when Dons defen-
sive back Charles Cao nabbed an intercep-
tion and ran it back to the El Camino 1-yard
line. But the Dons were agged with an
unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, which
allowed them to retain possession, but
marched them back to the El Camino 16-
yard line.
After the Dons advanced the ball to the 5-
yard line, El Caminos defense marched
them backwards, including the 3-yard loss
which knocked Tongamoa out of the game,
followed by a 12-yard loss on third down
when Vargas and linebacker Derek Alegre
chased down Aragon quarterback Billy
Mason for a big loss. The Dons went for it
on fourth down but threw an incomplete
pass to turn the ball over on downs.
El Camino was doing a 4-3 defense and
bringing people up in the box, Mason said.

SANTA CLARA Down big, Jay Cutler
kept his poise on the road while Colin
Kaepernick struggled in prime time.
Cutler passed for three fourth-quarter touch-
downs after much of Chicagos starting
defense went down, and the Bears beat the San
Francisco 49ers 28-20 Sunday night to spoil
their Levis Stadium debut.
We just kept plugging, we knew we had
some good stuff, Cutler said. We just had to
gure them out.
Cutler threw three TD passes to Brandon
Marshall, two in the wild fourth quarter, as
Chicago erased a 13-point decit and quieted
the sellout crowd. Cutler threw for two scores
in a 27-second span early in the nal period,
aided by the gutsy play of a backup corner-
back.
Kyle Fuller made two late interceptions for
the depleted Chicago secondary, and the rst
set up the go-ahead score.
Just coming in here, working hard, it was a
team win, said Fuller, the Bears rst-round
pick in this years draft. We are thankful for
that and will keep on building.
Kaepernick was hit with an unsportsman-
like conduct penalty for inappropriate lan-
guage following Fullers rst big play. That
gave the Bears rst-and-goal on the 3, and
Cutler threw a 3-yard TD pass to Martellus
Bennett as the Bears went ahead 21-20.
Kaepernick threw three interceptions in all,
lost a fumble and his cool, a far cry from his
breakout start on the Monday night stage
nearly two years ago in a rout of the Bears.
Cutler sat out that night with a concussion.

Ali Spindt is digging it at UC Santa
Barbara.
For Spindt currently a sophomore vol-
leyball player for the Gauchos it was
clear from an early stage of her prep career at
Menlo-Atherton her collegiate destination
would be UCSB.
While she briey considered a handful of
other schools, she gave a verbal commitment
to UCSB prior to her jun-
ior year of high school.
So, by the time she earned
2011 San Mateo Daily
Journal Volleyball Player
of the Year honors as a
junior, and led M-A to a
Central Coast Section
Division I title in 2012,
Spindt already knew she
was UCSB bound.
I didnt really go through the whole
recruiting process because I knew I wanted
to go here. So, I committed pretty early,
Spindt said. I love it here so much the
people and everything.
This season has seen a marked change in
Spindts on-court duties for the Gauchos,
however. She saw a remarkable debut season
as a freshman in 2013, leading the team
with 315 kills en route to UCSBs berth in
the NCAAWomens Volleyball Field of 64.
By seasons end though, Spindt was dealt
the most serious injury of her volleyball
career. Abulging disc in her back forced her
off the court for four months in the offsea-
son. It was the longest respite shed ever
endured since seriously taking up the sport
as an eighth grader. And Spindt said she did-
nt feel game-ready until double-day prac-
tices started in August.
I definitely had to push through the
pain, Spindt said.
The pain is still there though, to the point
where Spindt cannot swing from the hitter

SAN FRANCISCO Los Angeles
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly entered the
eighth inning planning to take out Clayton
Kershaw after the rst batter. The left-hander
retired Joe Panik on one pitch, and as
Mattingly walked to the mound, he noticed
Kershaw shaking his head and waving him
back to the dugout.
At that point, who am
I to stop him? Mattingly
said.
Right now, seemingly
nobody can.
Kershaw struck out
Buster Posey on three
wicked sliders before get-
ting Hunter Pence to y
out, and was done for
real. Kenley Jansen
pitched a perfect ninth to
seal Kershaws major league-leading 19th
win, and the Dodgers moved three games
ahead of San Francisco in the NLWest with a
4-2 victory over the Giants on Sunday.
Its obviously a huge series for us, and
the way we did it is pretty cool, Kershaw
said.
Los Angeles leaned on its ace for the rub-
ber game of a series that had been as topsy-
turvy as any the NL West rivals have ever
played. The Dodgers won 17-0 on Saturday
after losing 9-0 to the Giants on Friday.
Kershaw (19-3) boosted his credentials for
the NLMVP and a third Cy Young Award with
another big performance in a big start. The
left-hander allowed seven hits, struck out
nine and walked one in eight innings.
He lowered his majors-best ERA to 1.70,
and put the Dodgers in command of the divi-
sion.
We kind of call him the big train, because
he just keeps coming, Mattingly said.

College of San Mateo football won its sec-
ond straight game to start the year, triumphing
51-26 Saturday evening at Modesto Junior
College.
After a seesaw battle throughout the rst
half, which saw the lead change hands three
times, the Bulldogs ran away with it with a 34-
7 scoring differential in the second half.
CSM sophomore wide receiver Kevin
Kutchera caught two touchdown passes on the
day, both within a minute of each other near
the end of the third quarter. His rst scoring
reception was a 9-yard strike from freshman
quarterback Jeremy Cannon, capping an eight-
play, 46-yard drive to give CSM the lead for
good at 23-19.
The Bulldogs started their next drive from
favorable eld position as well. On the ensu-
ing possession, CSM sophomore safety
Taylor Mashack recovered a fumble at the
Modesto 35-yard line. Two plays later,
Cannon connected with Kutchera, this time for
a 35-yard strike to pad the lead at 30-19.
Kutchera had ve receptions for 105 yards
on the day, surpassing the 100-yard mark for
the second straight week.
Cannon was 10 for 21 in the air for 132
yards and three touchdowns; he also connected
with Johan Williams on a 3-yard pass with 16
seconds remaining in the rst half. Cannon
used his wheels to also rush for touchdown, a
28-yard rst-quarter scamper to give the
Bulldogs their rst score. He rushed for a team-
high 99 yards on the evening.
Modesto got on the board in a hurry to start
the game. The Pirates started the games rst
possession deep in their own territory at the 7-
yard line. Two plays later, however, Modesto
running back Anthony Cota broke an 88-yard
touchdown run to stake his team to a 6-0 lead.
After Cannons touchdown run, a barrage of
eld goals gave Modesto a 12-10 lead. CSMs
Justin Watts rst booted a 35-yard eld goal to
extend a Bulldogs lead to 10-6. The foot of
Modestos Thomas Langley generated the next
two scores though, with eld goals of 40 and
41 yards, respectively, to give the Pirates a 12-
10 advantage.
Modesto lengthened its lead to 19-10 on its
next possession when Cota ran for a 53-yard
touchdown. The 6-foot-2, 230-pound sopho-
more ran for a game-high 217 yards on the day.
The Bulldogs responded with an eight-play,
74-yard scoring drive culminating in
Cannons scoring pass Williams. The big play
of the drive came on thirdand-9 from the 50-
yard line, when Cannon connected for 10-yard
strike to Raeshawn Lee for a rst down.
CSM capped the days scoring with three
fourth-quarter touchdowns via turnovers to turn
the nal score into a rout. With 10 minutes
remaining in the game, CSMs Malik Beachum
returned an interception 25 yards for a score.
After a Modesto 22-yard touchdown run by
Mike Milbourne to close CSMs lead to 37-26,
the BulldogsAnthony Hines returned an inter-
ception 58 yards for a touchdown with just
over two minutes remaining. On the ensuing
kickoff, Modesto fumbled and CSMs
Mashack recovered in the end zone of the
games nal score.
CSMs leading tackler was linebacker
Darium Henton with seven. The Bulldogs
totaled two sacks, with linebacker Randy
Allen tabbing a half sack to extend his state
lead to ve sacks on the season.
With the win, CSM (2-0) is one of four
unbeaten teams remaining in the Bay 6
Conference along with Diablo Valley College,
City College of San Francisco and Santa Rosa
Junior College. Saturday, DVC topped Chabot
38-21, CCSF downed Laney 31-13 and Santa

Quakes salvage draw with Galaxy
SANTACLARA Chris Wondolowski's
goal in the 66th minute drew the San Jose
Earthquakes even with the Los Angeles
Galaxy for a 1-1 tie in the final California
Clasico of the season on Sunday.
Jordan Stewart assisted on the tying
score, slotting a pass through a group of
Galaxy defenders to find Wondolowski
open near the far post.
Omar Gonzalez opened the scoring in the
28th minute on a header off Stefan
Ishizaki's corner. The Galaxy (14-5-9) dom-
inated the Earthquakes (6-11-10) in the rst
half, outshooting them 14-1 overall.
After Jon Busch made a series of diving
saves for San Jose, the momentum turned
in the Earthquakes' favor when Robbie
Keane missed a penalty kick off the post
for the Galaxy in the 37th minute.
The rivalry was marked by physical
play, resulting in nine yellow cards.

back Kershaws latest gem. Buster Posey
and pinch-hitter Matt Duffy had RBI sin-
gles for San Francisco.
The Dodgers and Giants have split 16
games this season. They have three games
left against each other at Dodger Stadium
next week, but San Francisco might be left
trying to hold onto a wild card spot by
then.
The Dodgers took a 2-0 lead in the sec-
ond when the Giants committed two throw-
ing errors trying to nab a hustling Hanley
Ramirez on the bases after Uribe singled,
then Ellis had a sacrifice fly.
The Giants cracked Kershaw in the third,
though they wasted the opportunity.
Posey singled home Petit before getting
thrown out by center fielder Yasiel Puig
going for second, stranding Panik on
third.
When you make a couple of mistakes
and have a guy like Kershaw on the mound,
it comes back to hurt you, Giants manag-
er Bruce Bochy said.San Francisco seemed
to be regaining the momentum behind
Petit (5-4) and the announced sellout
crowd of 41,932, but Kemp ended that with
one swing in the sixth. His two-run homer
to left-center put the Dodgers up 4-1,
touching off another bubble-filled celebra-
tion in the visiting dugout at AT&T
Park.Petit gave up four runs three earned
and eight hits in seven innings. He
struck out eight and walked none.
Kershaw was thrown out at second by
right fielder Hunter Pence trying to stretch
a single into a double in the seventh. In
the bottom half, Duffys bloop single
sliced Los Angeles lead to 4-2.
But Kershaw quickly squashed San
Franciscos rally. He has gone at least
eight innings in seven straight starts
perhaps none bigger than his latest.
The way he finished, Ellis said, kind
of speaks a lot to his character and his will
to win and his will to compete.
Notes: Second baseman Dee Gordon and
Puig got tangled up going for Duffys
bloop in shallow center field, but both
stayed in the game. Mattingly said Puig
collided with one of Gordons knees,
which is just a little sore.
Giants first baseman Brandon Belt (con-
cussion) will face pitchers before
Mondays game at Arizona and will likely
be activated Tuesday or Wednesday.

SEATTLE Jon Lester could not nd his
command. There was no one pitch he could lean
on or one side of the plate he could hit with any
consistency.
And still the Oakland lefty managed to
throw six shutout innings on Sunday and
help the Athletics extend their lead in the AL
wild-card race.
These games sometimes mean more than
the games you go out there and kind of walk
through the lineup, Lester said.
Sam Fuld and Brandon Moss hit solo home
runs, Lester combined with three relievers on a
seven-hitter and Oakland beat the Seattle
Mariners 4-0.
Oakland won consecutive games for the rst
time in three weeks and, more importantly,
stretched its edge for a playoff spot. The As
now hold a 1?-game advantage over Kansas
City and a 2?-game lead over the Mariners.
Coupled with winning on Saturday night
when Seattles Felix Hernandez got the start,
the As understood the importance in taking two
of three at this point in the season.
We talked about it last
night. Thats the type of
game that can give you a
better feeling than most
based on the fact we got a
game against Felix
Hernandez, Oakland man-
ager Bob Melvin said. We
got on the board early, we
were a little stagnant there
in the middle innings, but
we were able to add on some at the end.
Fulds fourth homer barely cleared the right-
eld wall in the rst inning off Chris Young (12-
8). It was Oaklands only hit until sixth inning.
Moss hit his 24th homer leading off the sev-
enth, his rst home run since July 24. Fuld and
Adam Dunn both added an RBI singles in the
eighth inning as Oakland stretched its lead.
Lester (15-10) struggled to get through six
innings. Seattle had baserunners in every
inning except the sixth and could never get a
hit with someone in scoring position.
Seattle was 0 for 8 with runners in scoring
position against Lester. Austin Jackson was at
third base with one out in the rst and was
stranded. Chris Denora was also left at third in
the third inning.
Lester threw 101 pitches and walked four, but
allowed just four hits and struck out seven in
picking up his fth victory since being traded
from Boston to the As.
Anytime you have a start like this and are
able to keep your team in it ... give them a
chance to get in the dugout with a lead is huge,
Lester said.
Dan Otero took over for Lester in the sev-
enth and immediately gave up singles to
pinch-hitters Endy Chavez and Logan
Morrison, and a wild pitch advanced the pair to
second and third with no outs. Jackson ground-
ed out to rst and pinch-hitter Michael
Saunders struck out on three pitches. Otero
intentionally walked Robinson Cano to load
the bases and got Kendrys Morales to pop out
to left to end the threat.
Seattle nished 0 for 13 with runners in scor-
ing position and left 11 on base.
Moss had gone 39 games without a home run,
a surprising drought after he hit 21 homers
before the All-Star break. His 24 homers are sec-
ond on the As roster behind Josh Donaldson.
I was probably putting a little pressure on
him with my home run total, Fuld joked.

They were blitzing and our line wasnt pick-
ing up the blitz.
Aragon solved the conundrum on its next
possession through. Dons defensive back
Izhaar Shah grabbed his rst of two inter-
ceptions on the day to give his team good
eld position at its own 41-yard line. Two
plays later, Aragon turned to some trickery
with a halfback option pass play.
According to Aragon head coach Steve
Sell, the El Camino secondary had been
rotating hard to contain the Dons motion
plays. So, the Dons countered with running
back Devin Grant taking a pitch right but,
instead of running, he aired out a 60-yard
touchdown pass to senior receiver Tyee
Stokman to get Aragon on the scoreboard.
Its one of those plays that, even if it
doesnt work, its a good play because it
might slow them down a little bit so they
dont rotate as hard, Sell said.
Later in the game, with Aragon leading
12-0 late in the third quarter, the Dons
pulled another trick play with Shah throw-
ing long on a reverse option pass to Kyle
Gelasio for an 18-yard gain into the red
zone. The Dons scored on the following
play when Grant danced 19 yards for a touch-
down on the games nal score.
That was the thing that sparked the
offense was the two trick plays, Mason
said. It got everybodys condence up
and from there we went on.
Aragon ultimately tabbed an 11-for-20
day passing for 175 yards. Mason was 9 of
18 for 97 yards in just his second varsity
start. The Dons running game compensated
for the loss Tongamoa with a sturdy day
from Grant, as the junior tabbed 13 carries
for 79 yards and one touchdown. Aragon
totaled 152 rushing yards in the game.
Theyre a good team, Lama said of
Aragons offense. We expected that from
them. I think we werent prepared, but well
get better.
Lama has undergone quite a conversion
for El Camino this season. After weighing
in at 5-foot-9, 265 pounds as a defensive
end last season, he dropped a signicant
amount of weight with the 2013-14 El
Camino wrestling team. He is currently 5-
foot-10, 235 pounds and will look to rejoin
the wrestling team this winter.
I went from 265 to 215 (pounds), Lama
said. Then I had to quit because my coach
said I lost too much weight.
The biggest blemish on Aragons after-
noon was a rash of penalties, as the Dons
racked up 14 for 116 yards.
The defense played great, Sell said. As
sluggish as our offense was, and how we kept
shooting ourselves in the foot, we needed a
big performance. [The defense is] going
to have to carry us and they did today. But
were better offensively than we showed.

Aragon quarterback Billy Mason scrambles for a rst down in the Dons win over El Camino.
Asloppy game lled with 26 penalties
16 by the Niners and a crazy collapse over-
shadowed the fanfare of the regular-season
debut for the sparkling $1.2 billion stadium.
The Bears (1-1), in a stretch with six of
eight games on the road, go home with some
serious momentum despite injuries on both
sides of the ball.
Five key defenders are hurt: cornerbacks
Sherrick McManis (quadriceps) and Charles
Tillman (triceps), defensive end Trevor Scott
(foot), safety Chris Conte (shoulder) and defen-
sive tackle Jeremiah Ratliff (concussion).
The 49ers (1-1) had a 17-7 halftime lead, but
missed an opportunity to grab an early lead in
the NFC West after the defending Super Bowl
champion Seattle Seahawks lost earlier in the
day at San Diego.
Michael Crabtree caught a touchdown pass
on his 27th birthday and Frank Gore ran for a
score but also had his 54-yard TD burst negat-
ed by Anquan Boldins costly holding penal-
t y.
Cutler helped the Bears get on the board
with a 25-yard run late in the rst half. He
took a jarring hit from Quinton Dial with 56
seconds remaining, but stayed in the game
and threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to
Marshall, who made a leaping, one-handed
catch to pull the ball into his body as he fell
into the end zone.
What a way for Chicago to forget that bitter
23-20 overtime loss to the Bills at home in
Week 1.
San Francisco didnt give the ball away
once in a season-opening win at Dallas.
In the rst half, the 49ers outgained
Chicago 197-93 and out-penalized the Bears
10-7 for 85 lost yards. The much-scrutinized
eld featured visible chunks of loose sod after
new grass was laid for a third time since April.
Kaepernick made his rst career start against
the Bears nearly two years ago, and then held
onto the No. 1 job over Alex Smith. Cutler did-
nt face the 49ers during a November 2012
Monday night game at Candlestick Park.
A concussion to now-Chiefs QB Smith
thrust Kaepernick into the spotlight that
night, and he threw for 243 yards and two
touchdowns as the Niners pounded the Bears
32-7.
The 49ers were embarrassed at home for the
second time in a month. They lost 34-0 in a
rout by Denver in the rst preseason game in
the new stadium.
Chicagos patchwork offensive line looked
shaky early with center Roberto Garza and left
guard Matt Slauson each sidelined by ankle
injuries.
San Francisco tight ends Vance McDonald
(knee) and Vernon Davis (ankle) were hurt as
the 49ers lost a home opener for the rst time

JOLIET, Ill. When he was a kid with
grand plans to become a NASCAR driver
someday, Kyle Larson dressed up as Jeff
Gordon when his family went to watch the
races at Sonoma.
In the last few laps of the Chase for the
Sprint Cup championship opener, Larson
found himself racing the real-life version nose
to nose down the stretch at Chicagoland
Speedway.
Jeffs been racing the Cup series as long as
Ive been alive, the 22-year-old rookie said after nishing third.
Easy, laughed Gordon, who wound up settling for second.
Its just really cool, Larson came back, that guys Ive looked
up to since forever are now talking about me and Im racing them
and battling for wins.
Larson isnt eligible for the season-ending playoff series, but he
might have been an even bigger topic Sunday if he had managed to
pull off the upset. Coming off a restart on lap 252, he got into a
duel with Kevin Harvick for rst. Larson stuck to the high line that
he had run on successfully all day, while Harvick went low.
Eventual winner Brad Keselowski squeezed between the two to grab
the lead and never let go.
That set up the battle with Gordon for second. Larson lost that
one, too. But as a measure of how much respect he had earned,
Gordon came over after the race and two had a quiet exchange.
I think this kid is the real deal. Hes going to be a star in this
series for a long time. I really wanted to see him win because I like
him, Gordon said, but I also didnt want to see those other guys
(his Sprint Cup championship competitors) win.

Could Pacquiao
fight be in cards
for Mayweather?
By Tim Dahlberg
LAS VEGAS Floyd Mayweather Jr. may
have boxed himself into a corner by out-
boxing Marcos Maidana in their rematch.
And it might open the door if just a
crack for the ght with Manny Pacquiao
that boxing fans have been craving for
years.
If the Pacquiao ght happens, it hap-
pens, Mayweather said Saturday night after
disposing of Maidana for the second time in
four months. You can ask the same ques-
tions and get the same answers. I call my
own shots.
That Mayweather is even acknowledging
the possibility of a ght with Pacquiao is
signicant, since his previous stance had
been to ignore his Filipino rival. But it may
be that Mayweather has little choice but to
turn to Pacquiao for a huge money ght as
the careers of both ghters draw to an end.
Alot of that will depend on the pay-per-
view numbers for the second Maidana ght .
What they say about Mayweather's drawing
power likely will determine his next steps.
Mayweather's continued refusal to ght
Pacquiao or any other ghters promoted by
Bob Arum limits the pool of possible oppo-
nents. That's why Maidana got a rematch
despite no real outcry by boxing fans for it
but it may be beginning to cost Mayweather
where it really hurts in his wallet.

position. So, after serving as a six-
rotation player as a freshman, Spindt
decidedly dawned the liberos jersey
to contribute as a sophomore. And
she has done precisely that.
Currently playing exclusively in the
back row, Spindt has been a digging
machine. Through nine matches this
season, she is pacing the Gauchos
with 114 digs and ranks ninth in the
Big West Conference with 3.93 digs
per set.
I just have one less thing to worry
about now, Spindt said. So, Ive
been able to focus a lot more on my
form on passing.
Spindts passing form garnered
attention over the weekend at Haas
Pavilion during Cals season-opener
Molten Classic. Of the four-team
eld, Spindt was the only Gauchos
player selected for the all-tournament
team, along with Cals Christina
Higgins and Maddy Kerr; University
of Nevadas Kara Kasser; and
University of the Pacics Anne-
Sophie Bauer, Katrin Gotterba and
tourney MVPKat Schultz.
In just over a year since Spindt
made her collegiate debut, she admits
shes made some big strides.
Its denitely a completely differ-
ent game than club or high school,
Spindt said. Its crazy, because
everyone is good and every single
team is good. Everyone plays D-I
volleyball for a reason. I didnt know
how hard it was going to be but
after my rst couple games I started
to get into more of a rhythm.
On the court, her freshman season
ultimately rang true with the compet-
itive style which has become
Spindts hallmark. Although the
Gauchos were eliminated in the rst
round of the postseason by the
University of San Diego, it marked
another in run of many consecutive
seasons in which Spindt has
appeared in the postseason.
In her three varsity seasons at M-
A, the Bears advanced to the section
championship game each year. In
2012, with then rst-year head coach
Ron Whitmill at the helm, M-Acap-
tured its rst ever CCS crown. Whats
more, Spindt and fellow front-row
superstar Katelyn Doherty proved
their all-around prowess by playing
out of their natural positions by pla-
tooning as the Bears setters.
During her club volleyball career,
Spindt saw similar success. In 2012,
in the nal year of the Payes Place
club team before the volleyball club
disbanded, Spindt helped the 16-and-
under squad to a third-place run at the
junior nationals in Columbus, Ohio,
on a team including former Woodside
standouts Allie Sulberg now
Spindts teammate at UCSB and
Cal freshman Christine Alftin.
UCSB is off to a 3-6 start this sea-
son after falling to Cal in four set
Saturday night in the nale match of
the Molten Classic. So long as
Spindt is on the court though and
she has yet to miss a set throughout
her college career dont count out
the Gauchos.
I love the competition and win-
ning big games, Spindt said.
Playing in big games is why I play
volleyball. When youre team is
playing well and the other team is
playing well, its so much fun.

OAKLAND Two long drives
right down the eld to open the
game.
Four turnovers, including a
bizarre, two-fumble play destined to
end up on a bloopers reel.
The home opener for the Oakland
Raiders had an all-too-familiar feel
to the frustrated fans who have wait-
ed 11 seasons for a winning team.
Derek Carr threw a pair of inter-
ceptions, James Jones and Mychal
Rivera lost fumbles and the Raiders
allowed Arian Foster to run free all
afternoon for 138 yards in a 30-14
loss Sunday.
Collectively we look bad, safe-
ty Charles Woodson said. Its frus-
trating because everything that
other people say about you, were
making them right. Its almost like
you allow other people to write your
story and were not going out there
and doing anything about it. Thats
hard man. Im really embarrassed.
Houston star defensive end J.J.
Watt caught a 1-yard touchdown
pass to cap the opening drive and
Foster scored on a 5-yard run on the
next possession for the Texans,
who are off to a 2-0 start under new
coach Bill OBrien after losing their
nal 14 games a year ago.
The Raiders (0-2) have lost eight
straight games dating to last season
and have shown no signs that an
offseason overhaul has xed the
myriad of problems in Oakland.
This is not the same old thing,
Carr said. Those guys in that lock-
er room are so
determined to
get this thing
right. I dont
believe its the
same old thing.
Were going to
get it right. I
promise you
that.
The day was
summed up by James Jones double
fumble late in the rst half. Jones
caught a 20-yard pass from Carr late
in the rst half before getting
stripped by Joseph at the Houston
35. Jones picked the ball up and ran
toward the end zone, but Joseph
knocked the ball out again from
behind and D.J. Swearinger recov-
ered at the Texans 3.
That was one of three turnovers in
scoring territory by the Raiders.
Carr moved Oakland down the eld
with a 41-yard run early in the sec-
ond quarter only to negate that good
play by throwing a pass that was
intercepted by Kareem Jackson that
set up Randy Bullocks rst of three
eld goals.
Mychal Rivera then fumbled a
catch early in the third quarter and
Joseph returned it 49 yards to set up
Ryan Fitzpatricks second TD pass
of the game, a 12-yarder to DeAndre
Hopkins that made it 24-0 and got
the boo birds out in earnest.
Theyre excited to see their
Raiders and what was that that we
put out there on the eld today?
Woodson said. Thats embarrass-
ing. Im embarrassed for this team,
Im embarrassed for the fans.

MADRID With golden confetti raining
on their heads and Party in the U.S.A ring-
ing in their ears, it must have been hard for
the U.S. basketball players to hear anything.
Doesnt matter. They had stopped listen-
ing long ago.
All the questions about their talent, the
doubts about their ability, were put down as
easily as their opponents.
It kind of was, again, a smack to our
face, saying the U.S. was sending the B-
team to go play in the World Cup, forward
Kenneth Faried said. Just because
LeBrons not here, Kobes not here,
(Kevin) Durants not here, doesnt mean
anything. We can step up and win the gold,
too. Thats what we did tonight.
And just like every other game, the
Americans did it easily.
Tournament MVP Kyrie Irving made all six
of his 3-point attempts and scored 26 points,
and the U.S. repeated as world champion for
the rst time by crushing Serbia 129-92 on
Sunday in the Basketball World Cup.
James Harden added 23 points for the
Americans, who made 11 of 16 3-pointers in
a sensational-shooting rst half, adding one
nal romp to a tournament full of them.
This depleted team that was supposedly
weak enough to lose was too good to be
touched.Obviously we didnt have a very
close game all tournament, but for that to
happen we had to play hard for 40 minutes
and not relax and not give any inch while we
were out there, guard Stephen Curry said.
The Americans came in winning by 32.5
points per game and their closest victory in
the tournament was by 21 points over
Turkey. They thought they would get a tough
game Sunday, but were simply too good to let
that happen.
They finished at 58 percent from the
field. They made 15 of 30 3-point attempts
and had eight of their 12 players score in
double figures.

MINNEAPOLIS Minnesota
Vikings star running back Adrian
Petersons booking on a child
abuse charge Saturday has created
another crisis for the embattled
NFL, already derided for not
responding strongly enough to
acts of domestic violence by its
players.
It also has touched off a national
debate about the role of corporal
punishment in parenting.
In the eyes of a Texas grand
jury, Peterson crossed the line
when he repeatedly struck his son
with a tree branch, or switch, in
May. Petersons attorney has said
he has never run from what hap-
pened and that Peterson was
inicting the same discipline he
endured as a child.
Obviously, parents are entitled
to discipline their children as they
see t, except when that discipline
exceeds what the community
would say is reasonable,
Montgomery County Prosecutor
Phil Grant said about 12 hours
after Peterson was booked and
released from jail on $15,000
bond. He is charged with causing
injury to a child age 14 or younger.
Peterson, one of the NFLs most
popular players and widely consid-
ered one of the best running backs to
ever play, ew from Minnesota to
Houston in the early morning hours
after authorities indicted him on
Friday evening. He has a home in
both locations.
The Vikings almost immediately
decided to deactivate him for
Sundays game against the New
England Patriots, and NFL
spokesman Brian McCarthy said on
Saturday that Petersons case will
be reviewed under the NFLs personal
conduct policy.
The situation comes as the NFL
proceeds with a self-commis-
sioned investigation by a former
FBI director into how it handled
the case of Ray Rice, who knocked
his then-ancee unconscious in an
Atlantic City elevator. Rice was
released Monday from the
Baltimore Ravens after a video sur-
faced that showed the violence.
The NFL said it hadnt seen the
video before then, but a law
enforcement source told the AP i t
was sent to a league executives
ofce in April and provided a voice
mail conrming it was received.
Unlike Rices situation,
Petersons case is complicated by
his stance that he meant his son no
harm but rather was applying the
same discipline he experienced
growing up.
Adrian is a loving father who used
his judgment as a parent to disci-
pline his son. He used the same kind
of discipline with his child that he
experienced as a child growing up in
East Texas, Petersons attorney,
Rusty Hardin, said.
Steve Eudey, who coached Peterson
as a young boy in Palestine, Texas,
and has remained a family friend, said
he has heard stories from Peterson
about his father Nelson being a rm
disciplinarian.
Some of the things his dad did to
him was to make him tough, Eudey
told The Associated Press.

with Adrian Peterson case

f you like showing off your pets, kids or oat-

Sept. 27. Picture Bay to Breakers (minus the naked peo-
ple this is Burlingame!) meets Best in Show and
youll have a good idea of what to expect at this annual
event. The Peninsula Humane Society and Daily

minute, 3/4 mile jaunt up and down Broadway Avenue.
Approximately 1,500 people and pets are cheered by
spectators lining both sides of the street. Llamas wear-
ing pajamas. Pugs riding in wagons. Abearded dragon
clinging to his owners beard. Weve seen it all during
this parades 10-year-run. This year, Detector dog
Skipper and representatives from the U.S. Customs
Border Protection unit the Beagle Brigade will
serve, collectively, as Grand Marshal. Pet owners who
wish to march with their pets must report by 9:30 a.m.
to the parking lot near Broadway and Chula Vista
Avenue. There is no charge to participate. Every partici-
pant receives a souvenir ribbon and fancy ribbons are
awarded for the Best Pet Trick; Most Unusual Pet; Best
Dressed Pet; and Most Original Float, Group or Wagon.
The Grand Prize winner receives a special prize. Judging
takes place immediately after the parade at Broadway
and Capuchino Avenue. And, for the oat-builders out
there, a oat can be a decorated wagon, bicycle or kid-
die car nothing motorized. Music provided by the

LOS ANGELES It took a murder-
ous Idris Elba and a pair of dolphin
buddies to defeat Guardians of the
Galaxy at movie theaters.
The Sony thriller No Good Deed,
which stars Elba as an escaped con-
vict and Taraji P. Henson as the inno-
cent he terrorizes, opened on top of
the box office with $24.5 million,
according to studio estimates Sunday.
And Sony wasnt surprised.
Its a movie that we really loved
and felt that it was going to win,
said Sony distribution chief Rory
Bruer. You have to give it to the cast
in Idris and Taraji. Their chemistry
together is fantastic.
The film nearly doubled its reported
budget in its first week of release,
said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media
analyst for box-office tracker
Rentrak.
Its the first brand new, post-sum-
mer release to really catch on, he
said.

Dolphin Tale 2 debuted in second

Redwood City and Belmont are
among 16 cities labeled cigarette butt
hot spots by environmental protec-
tion group Save the Bay as part of its
ButtFreeBay campaign asking the
public where to begin. The winner
will receive Save the Bays focus for
cleanup and outreach to the public and
ofcials to ensure theyre doing all
they can to tamp down smoking and
associated litter.
The contenders were chosen based
on a number of factors but primarily
the number of butts collected by vol-
unteers during last years Coastal
Cleanup Day. In Redwood City, 13
butts per volunteer were swept up or
the equivalent of more than half a
pack. In Belmont, the tally was 17
butts per volunteer which is the equiv-
alent of almost one pack.
Save the Bay also considered out-
door smoking grades assigned each
city by the American Lung
Association. Belmont received a B
while Redwood City is on the other end
of the spectrum at D.
But Redwood City didnt receive
the worst 2014 grade by the
American Lung Associ at i on.
Atherton, Brisbane, East Palo Alto,
Foster City, Half Moon Bay,
Millbrae, Portola Valley, San Bruno
and Woodside all earned F. No city
earned an A although Daly City
joined Belmont with a B.
Allison Chan, manager of the clean
Bay campaign, said Save the Bay
acknowledges it isnt an exact science
and based only on what information is
submitted for each location. The big-
ger picture is that the data highlights a
regional problem, she said.
We estimate that roughly 3 billion
cigarette butts enter the Bay each year
and they are certainly not coming from
only 16 cities. This is just a contribu-
tion to a problem coming from all the
jurisdictions, Chan said.
Joining Redwood City and Belmont
in the competition are Pittsburgh,
Vallejo, Mountain View, San Rafael,
Contra Costa County, Marin Countys
Bothin Marsh and Gallinas Creek, San
Jose, Antioch, Novato, San
Franciscos Aquatic Park, Hercules,
Livermore, Suisun City and Antioch.
The public has until Sept. 21 to vote
online.
Save the Bay will pursue the chosen
city by contacting city staff to under-
stand current policies, public outreach
and advocating for either establishing
rules or more strictly enforcing them if
they are already in place.
Belmont made national news in
2007 with its anti-smoking bans at
apartment complexes and two years
later expanded the prohibition into
single-family homes in housing set
aside for low-income residents. The
city also restricts outdoor smoking
100 percent at recreation areas, din-
ing areas, workplaces and public
events. The city also requires a 20-
foot buffer zone around entryways,
according to Save the Bay.
Mayor Warren Lieberman, who voted
against the 2007 ban out of concerns
about in-home regulation, said hes
not sure why Belmont would have
more butts than other cities but noted
it does have more open space and park
areas than surrounding communities.
Or maybe Belmont is such a popular
place it attracts more people, he
joked.
For cities already working to curb
outdoor smoking, Chan said the data
used to winnow the campaign pool
shows that ordinances alone are not
sufcient. The next key components
are public education and enforcement,
she said.
Redwood City is less restrictive than
Belmont; there are no bans in private
residences. But smoking is prohibited
in enclosed public places.
You can pass as many laws as you
want but how do you enforce them?
Mayor Jeff Gee said.
Lieberman said hed encourage the
public to vote for Belmont.
Its a very good community-based
effort. Regardless of what city gets
selected, its great to help clean up,
Lieberman said.

In 2006, the National Cancer
Institutes federal budget was $4.6 bil-
lion. Of that, breast cancer received 12
percent, prostate cancer received 7 per-
cent and all 12 major groups of pedi-
atric cancers combined received less
than 3 percent. And childhood cancer
research gets 2.96 percent of the
money raised by the American Cancer
Society. Watson wants more funding
to go to childhood cancer.
In terms of Julianas story, she
got sick very quickly and by the
time its diagnosed it can be pretty
hard to treat, Watson said.
Juliana was always pretty small,
but the doctors kept telling us oh, you
know youre a small girl, Watson
said. She didnt start walking until
she was 19 months old; she crawled
like a baby monkey and it got to a
point where she refused to eat or walk.
Juliana had lost nine ounces in the
course of three weeks. I knew some-
thing was wrong, In March, I forced
her pediatrician to give her a full
health assessment.
The struggle all researchers deal with
is they cannot nd that mother cell
that creates neuroblastoma because its
expensive, Watson said.
The best answer is youre just dealt
a bad hand, she said.
Juliana was the couples only child,
following the loss of a son at birth in
2003.
This (Julianas death) happened and
it kills us every day, Watson said.
Her room hasnt been touched; those
were her things and theyre resting
peacefully there and she is home with
us. We chose to bring her home; we
have her urn here because we just could-
nt fathom burying our child.
Watson is still impressed by
Julianas strength throughout the can-
cer ordeal.
Kids are way stronger than adults
are, she said. Adults feel sorry for
themselves, kids dont, she had tumors
you could physically see coming out
of her body, masses, her belly was
completely distended. She was
everything to me and I chose to be her
mother. It was the best 33 months and
three days of my entire life. She
(Juliana) got angry I was crying; she
was so strong.
Presently, a private foundation is
willing to donate up to $250,000 in
grant matching for donations made to
Watsons cause.
Tentatively, the city of South San
Francisco will be lighting the Sign
Hill tree right above the South San
Francisco The Industrial City sign in
honor of Juliana and to raise awareness
about Childhood Cancer Month. The
tree should remain lit for the rest of the
month.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Joyce Ane Shomar
Case Number: 124790
(Corrected Notice)
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Joyce Ane Shomar. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by
Jerri Anne Berg in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Jerri
Anne Berg be appointed as personal rep-
resentative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: September 23,
2014 at 9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior
203 Public Notices
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.

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