The long-awaited sale of the
downtown Burlingame post ofce

unclear how the land will be devel-
oped.
The U.S. Postal Service con-

Inappropriate email exchanges
regarding regulatory proceedings
led to the ouster of high-ranking
PG&E and California Public
Utilities Commission employees
Monday.
CPUC President Michael
Peeveys chief of staff Carol
Brown resigned over emails about
the assignment of administrative
law judges to a regulatory case on
potential PG&E rate hikes, accord-
ing to the CPUC.
Peevey recused himself from future
proceedings with PG&E because of
inappropriate communication
between his ofce and the utility
during regulatory proceedings.
Emails released by PG&E
Monday show employees attempt-
ing to inuence the selection of
judges appointed to its gas trans-
mission and storage rate case,
which would determine whether
and to what extent PG&E could
raise rates to complete improve-
ments to its pipeline system.
The case is separate from regula-
tory actions involving the 2010
explosion of a PG&E-operated gas
pipeline in San Bruno, but Peevey
said Monday that he will also
recuse himself from proceedings
in that case to dispel any concerns
that his ofce is acting improper-
l y.

Man wanted for robbery
arrested at Frisbee tourney
EUGENE, Ore. A man wanted for
an armed bank robbery in New York
eluded authorities for four years until
they caught up with him while he
played at an ultimate Frisbee tourna-
ment in Oregon.
KVAL-TV says police in Eugene,
Oregon, arrested Jahson Marryshow
around 5 p.m. Sunday.
The Ulster County sheriffs ofce in
New York says the 32-year-old, for-
merly of Woodstock, New York, was
indicted in late 2010 on charges of
robbing a Bank of America there.
Marryshow is also accused of stealing
a car and setting a barn on re as a
diversion.
The U.S. Marshals Service and local
police got a tip that he was living in
Eugene. Police say Marryshow didnt
try to ee Sunday. Hes being held in
the Lane County Jail, pending extradi-
tion.
It wasnt immediately clear if
Marryshow had a lawyer yet.
Boa constrictor captured
after escaping Idaho cage
NAMPA, Idaho A 9-foot
Columbian boa constrictor named
Trinity that escaped its southwest
Idaho cage has been found after two
days on the loose.
Trinity didnt appear to have trav-
eled far after being spotted Sunday in
the garage that holds the snakes cage.
Jittery neighbors with small pets
and children went on alert after the
owner reported to Nampa police on
Saturday that the snake disappeared
Friday afternoon and hadnt eaten for
three weeks.
The owner says he plans to buy a
better cage.
The snakes capture comes after a
venomous cobra raised concerns earli-
er this month when it got loose and
roamed a California neighborhood for
days before being caught.
Ofcials beg pastor,
strip club owner to end feud
COSHOCTON, Ohio Ofcials are
pleading for a pastor and an Ohio strip
club owner to stop weekly protesting of
each others establishments over a
years-long feud.
The Coshocton Tribune reports the
letter to New Beginnings Ministries
Pastor Bill Dunfee and strip club owner
Thomas George was signed by the city
law director, the county prosecutor and
the sheriff.
Dunfee and men from the Warsaw
church have protested outside the
Foxhole North strip club in New
Castle. The business has responded
with Sunday morning protests outside
the church, including a recent one by
topless dancers.
The letter says the feud is straining
local law enforcement and hurting the
community but acknowledges they can't
legally be stopped from protesting.
Each man has made allegations
against the other, but authorities
havent prosecuted those cases.
Cat Stevens announces
first U.S. tour since 1976
NEWYORK New Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame member Cat Stevens is taking
the Peace Train back on the road.
He announced Monday that he will
make a six-city concert tour in North
America this December, his rst series of
shows in the U.S. since 1976. His con-
version to Islam followed, putting his
music career on hold for a quarter centu-
ry.Stevens, who also is releasing a blues
album on Oct. 27 produced by Rick Rubin
and titled Tell Em I'm Gone, is using
that stage name along with Yusuf, the
name he took when he converted. The
performer of 1970s-era hits Wild
World, Morning Has Broken and
Peace Train has slowly broken back
into secular music during the past decade
and has made only a handful of semi-pub-
lic and television appearances in the U.S.
Ive been a bit slow in coming around
to the United States, but there were so
many people asking me to do that, that I
just felt an obligation, Stevens said in a
telephone interview from Dubai, where
he lives most of the time now.

A couple collared for a rash of 2013
Peninsula burglaries after investigators real-
ized the homes belonged to dog boarding cus-
tomers at the PetSmart where one worked
opted Monday to take plea deals rather than
begin trial.
Ashley Lynn Kirk, 25, and Juan Carlos
Ortega-Ramos, 26, both of San Jose, each
pleaded no contest to 11 counts of residential
burglary and one count of attempted burglary.
Kirk will receive no more than 10 years in
prison and Ortega-Ramos, who also admitted a
gang enhancement, is looking at a 20-year
maximum. Both will be sentenced Nov. 6.
Kirk worked at the PetSmart store in San
Carlos and prosecutors say she and Ortega-
Ramos ransacked the homes of customers who
boarded their dogs there. Kirk allegedly g-
ured out what homes would be empty based on
the animal boarding calendar at the stores
PetsHotel. She reportedly passed on the infor-
mation to Ortega-Ramos who committed the
robberies.
The couple took a variety of items including
electronics, jewelry and, in one instance, a
silver Porsche 991S from
a Portola Valley home. The
vehicle went missing in
September 2013 but was
found later the same day in
Belmont. The couple was
arrested but bailed out.
After a ve-month investi-
gation, investigators
arrested the couple again
in January for burglaries
in Foster City, Portola
Valley, Woodside and
Redwood City.
Kirk was initially
charged with gang aflia-
tion enhancements, too,
but a judge dismissed them
after a preliminary hear-
ing. Ortega-Ramos is a
Norteo.
Both Kirk and Ortega-
Ramos remain in custody
on $500,000 bail pending the sentencing
hearing.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Redwood City is temporarily restricting out-
door water use to comply with state mandates
during the ongoing drought.
The emergency restrictions prohibit directly
applying water to any hard surface for washing,
watering outdoor landscaping that runs off,
washing a car with a hose if it doesnt have a
shut-off nozzle and using drinking water in a
fountain or water feature unless it is recirculated.
Redwood City has a decade-long history of
water conservation and beat reduction targets
for the year 2020 nine years early in 2011, said
Mayor Jeff Gee who cited recycled water as one
reason for the success.
We know what needs to be done to save water
during this drought and together we can make it
happen, Gee said in an announcement of the
new restrictions.
To help residents comply with the rules, the
city issued a list of dos and donts. Do use a
broom rather than a hose to clean driveways and
sidewalks, prevent runoff by checking the
sprinkler system for leaks or blocked spray and
giving soil time to absorb water, using a car
wash that reuses water and draining foundations.
Tips also include watering at night to prevent
evaporation, switching to high-efciency
sprinkler nozzles and converting lawns into
water efcient landscapes like drought-tolerant
plants. On the other hand, the city is advising
residents not to water a yard more than twice a
week or overwater, use a hose to wash driveways
and sidewalks, wash a car at home without a
shutoff nozzle and use water in decorative foun-
tains unless it recirculates.
The city itself has already instituted water cut-
backs. In August, the water features at Stafford,
Stulsaft, Spinas and Fleishman parks were
turned off.
Recycled water is used on all street medians
and staff is currently renovating irrigation sys-
tems from traditional xed spray heads with
slow application rate stream rotors. The city
has also converted plants to drought-resistant
species and installed smart irrigation con-
trollers in all of the large parks and many of the
smaller ones. These irrigators automatically
control water ow based on weather conditions
and shut down the system if a line breaks.
The city said potential nes of violators will
only be used as a last resort but is asking the
public to tell them if they see the need for water
use education. Individuals can call 780-7436 or
using a smartphone go to
redwoodcity.org/myrwc and click on request a
service and drought assistance.

tors can contribute to the water conservation
effort visit www.redwoodcity.org/conservation.

Retaining teachers, implementing new
Common Core education standards and
improving the South San Francisco Unied
School Districts overall reputation are key
issues for those seeking seats on the dis-
tricts Board of Trustees.
There are seven candidates running for
three open seats. Appointed incumbent
Patrick Lucy is in the running. Lucy lled
former trustee Liza Normandys role after
she was elected to the South San Francisco
City Council. Former trustee Shirlee Hochs
seat is also up. She submitted her letter of
resignation last November after a struggle
with her health for the last couple of years.
Trustee Philip Weise is also up for re-elec-
tion. Joining Weise and Lucy are Rosa
Acosta, John Baker, Patricia Murray, Rick
Ochsenhirt and Sue Olinger. Candidate
Monica Peregrina Boyd dropped out of the
race last week.
Three of the candidates for the upcoming
Nov. 4 election applied for the slot that
Lucy took over back in January. The board
was also going to ll Hochs spot during the
application process in January, but it found
out that it would have had to initiate the
appointment process within 60 days of
Hochs filing her deferred resignation,
which occurred Nov. 18, 2013. Since that
60-day period has already passed, the board
had to ll the vacancy during the November
general election.
Six of the seven candidates visited the
Daily Journal office last week for an
endorsement interview, while one phoned
in for the interview. Candidates were con-
cerned about professional development for
the new state standards that focus more on
using technology in the classroom.
Concern over high teacher turnover was
also expressed.
I think the overall vision is not very
clear, Murray said. With teachers leaving
in droves, we arent doing something right.
We have to work on retention of admin-
istrators and staff; without the continuity,
we cannot have a great district. Acouple
of years ago the hiring of the superintend-
ent (Howard Cohen) was not a good decision
and we paid for it.
Weise noted he was not in the majority
that voted to hire Cohen and that, to retain
teachers, the district should work with
Realtors associations to nd discount hous-
ing for teachers, while adjusting the salary
scale. Ochsenhirt and Baker said theyd sup-
port building new housing for teachers on
unused district property.
Getting rid of auto classes at El Camino
High School was a mistake the district
recently made, Lucy said.
Not everyone is going to work for
Genentech, Lucy said.
Weise disagreed this is an issue though
and that the district has agreements with
unions for apprenticeship training.

The auto shop issue is a non-issue,
Weise said. It hasnt left El Camino; its a
club now. The kids stopped attending the
elective. They vote with their feet. We will
be having auto shop after school and, if
theres enough interest, we will bring it
back.
Meanwhile, Murray raised the issue of the
achievement gap in the district.
We have GATE (Gifted and Talented
Education) kids not performing at the level
they should because theres no GATE pro-
grams. We shouldnt be a district thats
teaching to the middle. We should teach to
individual potentials, Murray said.
Using technology to personalized les-
sons for students could help close the
achievement gap, Baker said.
It would allow students who are high
achieving work ahead of grade level, he
said. The gap would close if we retain expe-
rience teachers who know how to motivate
students.
Another solution could be sending stu-
dents to community colleges to earn credits,
Acosta said.
Its disheartening adult education doesnt
offer a GED program, she said.
The issue of preparing teachers for the
new state standards that focus on collabora-
tive projects and technology in the class-
room was a huge concern
for many candidates.
The way of teaching
the state standards is very
hard for teachers,
Ochsenhirt said. During
the testing trial run last
year, it was a disaster.
The IT department wasnt
up for it. Luckily, the
pretesting didnt count
for anything. Also, we
should look at the coun-
ty; theres a lot things
theyre doing in the coun-
ty we should be involved
in.
The district is testing
students in shifts because
of lack of bandwidth,
Murray said.
Its my understanding
there will be a learning
curve for everyone, she
said. Its (Common
Core) tying to a global
standard that doesnt
meet the needs of our
community. We were
bribed by the federal gov-
ernment to participate.
Lucy noted its a total
shift and it takes time for
continued training.
As a school district, were trying to give
them as much as we physically can, he
said.
The shift is to not just
teaching the basics of
math and English to be
21st century learners,
Olinger said.
Not all children have
access to iPads or PCs,
she said. To get every-
one caught up, were
going to have to involve
children, parents and edu-
cators.
The school district has
expanded its bandwidth
and its further ahead than
other districts in the
county, as it has been
planning for two years,
Weise said.
My biggest concern is
with keyboarding
skills, he said. Im
afraid the (standardized) tests are going to
measure students ability to type rapidly.
There is also the worry that teachers will
become preoccupied with being judged on
test scores alone, Baker said. Being able to
work a computer may be hard for some stu-
dents, he added.
Poor students in the district have never
touched a keyboard, he said. They need
computer skills.
Candidates have other general concerns
about the district, including Baker, who
thinks the districts hiring of a public rela-
tions rm was a mistake since the district
already had a public information ofcer in
place.
I think that the board
is not looking at what it
has on hand before look-
ing elsewhere for help,
he said.
Hed also like to see a
board liaison to each
school, as people at the
schools feel a distance
between themselves and
the board, he said.
There should be better
communication between
the city and district for
after-school program-
ming for middle school-
ers, Acosta said.
Acosta would also like
the district board mimic
how the South San
Francisco City Council
operates and work in collaboration and be
more accessible.
She also sees herself as a connection to
new parents and the Hispanic community.
I want to serve as a role model and a voice
that new parents dont have, she said. I want
[the districts] female Hispanics to become
leaders and aspire to take my seat someday.

employees have lost their jobs
over the communication: senior
vice president of regulatory affairs
Thomas Bottorff, vice president of
regulatory relations Brian Cherry
and vice president of regulatory
proceedings and rates Trina
Horner.
The emails released Monday
were written between Jan. 9 and
Jan. 29. Cherry advocated to have
CPUC Administrative Law Judge
John Wong assigned to the case,
and objected strongly when Judge
Douglas Long was assigned
instead.
Im not sure we could get some-
one worse, Cherry wrote. This is
a very important case that is now
in jeopardy.
Brown responded, I can see if
anything can be done but said
repeatedly Wong was overbooked
and too busy to take the case.
Eventually, Wong was assigned
to the case and Cherry wrote back,
Thank you. Thank you. Thank
you.
Cherry also contacted CPUC
Commissioner Mike Florio
informing him of Longs appoint-
ment.
If I were you I would bump him
you really cant do any worse!
Even a brand new ALJ would at
least work hard and try youll
get neither from him. ... Keep me
posted and Ill do what I can on
this end, Florio wrote back.
On Monday, Florio said in a
statement that he took no action
in response to PG&Es request for
reassignment of the judge.
But I should not have respond-
ed to PG&Es inappropriate
inquiry and will not do so if some-
thing like this ever happens
again. The Administrative Law
Judge ultimately assigned to the

these matters and his integrity is

9 hurt in crash on
Bay Area freeway
SAN LEANDRO The California
Highway Patrol says a crash left
nine people injured and blocked all
lanes of a major San Francisco Bay
Area freeway.
The ery incident on Interstate
880 began around 3 a.m. Monday
when an SUV driver crashed in the
southbound lanes. A truck swerved
to avoid the SUV and went through
the center divider and onto the oppo-
site side of the highway.
CHP Ofcer Colton Kropp tells
the San Francisco Chronicle that led
to other crashes. Atotal of ten vehi-
cles were involved.
Nine people were taken to hospi-
tals, three with major injuries. The
other injuries were considered minor
or moderate.
Southbound and northbound lanes
reopened later in the morning.
Bay Area brief
WEED A re driven by erce
winds raced through a small town
near the Oregon border on Friday,
burning a church to the ground,
damaging or destroying 100
homes and prompting evacuation
orders for at least 1,500 people,
authorities said.
This tiny town near the base of
Mount Shasta in the Cascade
Mountains was under siege from a
350-acre blaze that surged toward
and through it through timberland.
The town sawmill caught re,
and a Catholic church was
destroyed.
The blaze erupted at around 1:30
p.m. south of Weed, a scenic town
of nearly 3,000 located about 50
miles south of the Oregon border
and about half way between San
Francisco and Portland, Oregon.
It was fast-moving, fanned by
incredibly gusty winds of up to 40
mph, state re spokesman Daniel
Berlant. It went into and around
the town.
Blowing embers started spot
res as much as a half-mile ahead of
the re front, and evacuations were
called for Weed and the outskirt
subdivisions of Carrick and Lake
Shastina, authorities said.
About 1,500 to 2,000 people
were ordered to evacuate, said
Allison Giannini, spokeswoman
for the Siskiyou County Sheriffs
Department.
More than 800 reghters, aided
by aircraft, fought the ames.
The winds began to ease late in
the day, and the res pace slowed.
By dusk it was 15 percent con-
tained but still advancing, state re
spokeswoman Susie Brady said.
Were hoping that the winds are
going to calm down tonight, she
said.
The re started east of town and
mowed through the area.
Black land. Very at. A lot of
trees burned, a lot of sad, scared
folks, Brady said.
Interstate 5, the main freeway
between California and Oregon,
was closed in the area.
Weed, historically a lumber
town, was named after the founder
of a mill, Abner Weed, who dis-
covered that the areas strong
winds were helpful in drying lum-
ber, according to the towns web-
site.
Meanwhile, reghters were try-
ing to gain better access to two
raging wildres that have forced
hundreds to evacuate their homes,
including one near a lakeside resort
that destroyed nearly two-dozen
structures.

NATION 8
PARIS As more than two dozen nations
pledged Monday to help Iraq ght the Islamic
State militants, the United States said it was
open to talking to Iran about a role in resolv-
ing the crisis, despite Washingtons earlier
opposition to Tehran even attending the con-
ference.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry ruled out
any military coordination with Iran, which in
the end was not invited to Paris.
That doesnt mean that we are opposed to
the idea of communicating to nd out if they
will come on board, or under what circum-
stances, or whether there is the possibility of a
change, Kerry told a small group of reporters.
France and Iraq see Shiite-powerhouse Iran as
an interlocutor who could bring its inuence to
bear in the region against the Sunni extremists
of the Islamic State group, but some Arab
states, like Saudi Arabia, disagree.
The U.S. opposed a place for Iran at the con-
ference. But Tehran, which has political and
military inuence with its neighbor Iraq, still
managed to be part of the conversation.
The absence of Iran underscored the conict-
ing sensitivities and complex politics in the
region as Western coun-
tries seek to battle the
Islamic State group, which
has taken control of large
parts of Iraq and Syria.
The meeting of foreign
ministers from Asia, the
Middle East and the West
was a rst step toward
deciding who does what in
a multilayered offensive
against the Islamic State group. As envisioned
by France and Iraq, the effort would include
intensifying airstrikes, cutting off nancing,
and helping Baghdad cope through humanitar-
ian aid and reconstruction. There would be no
combat troops on the ground, however.
As the conference began, two French jets
took off over Iraq in Frances rst reconnais-
sance missions over the country in a sign of
the larger battle ahead. The United States has
led airstrikes over Iraq since August.
We are asking for airborne operations to be
continued regularly against terrorist sites. We
must not allow them to set up sanctuaries. We
must pursue them wherever they are, Iraqi
President Fouad Massoum said, an apparent ref-
erence to neighboring Syria.
Syria, deep in a civil war waged in part by
rival extremist groups, was the wellspring for
the Islamic State group, with its ghters
sweeping across the border into Iraq, over-
whelming the military in Sunni-dominated
Anbar province and capitalizing on grievances
against the Shiite-led government in Baghdad.
The ghters went on to conquer Mosul, Iraqs
second-largest city, with the U.S.-trained mili-
tary crumbling, and seized tanks and other mil-
itary equipment, then steamrolled across
northern Iraq.
The CIA estimates the group has access to
between 20,000 and 31,000 ghters in Iraq and
Syria including foreigners lured to the
cause.
The recent execution of three Western
hostages British aid worker David Haines
and two American journalists added new
urgency to the task of creating a viable strate-
gy to knock out the Islamic State group.
We must cut off their nancing. We must
bring them to justice and we must stop the
ghters in neighboring countries from joining
them, Massoum said at the conference open-
ing.
The group brings in more than $3 million a
day from oil smuggling, human trafcking,
theft and extortion, according to U.S. intelli-
gence ofcials and private experts.
The Paris meeting was a coalition of strange
bedfellows, some of whom have allegedly
nanced extremist groups in Syria and Iraq, and
others, like Russia, which backs Syrias
Bashar Assad who is also supported by Iran.
Less than a week ago in Baghdad, Kerry was
clear about the U.S. position regarding Iran,
embroiled in a years-long dispute with the
West over concern that Tehran wants nuclear
weapons.
The United States does not cooperate, mili-
tarily or otherwise, nor does it have any inten-
tion in this process of doing so, with Iran, he
had said.
France, stressing a pragmatic approach, felt
Iran could be an ally against a common enemy
if, as President Francois Hollande said, Tehran
abides by principles permitting a sincere and
useful conversation.
On Monday, Kerry, in an apparent about
face, said he wouldnt shut the door to talking
to Iran about a common enemy.
Were not coordinating with Iran, but as I
said, were open to have a conversation at
some point in time if theres a way to nd
something constructive, he said.
Kerry: U.S. open to talks with Iran on Islamic State
John Kerry
WASHINGTON Lawmakers raced
Monday to authorize an expanded mission
to arm and train moderate Syrian rebels
before heading back to the campaign trail,
with House Republicans preparing legisla-
tion backing a central plank of President
Barack Obamas strategy against the
Islamic State group.
The Obama administration says the train-
ing operation is needed to establish credi-
ble, local ground forces to accompany U.S.
air strikes against the militants who have
conquered large parts of Iraq and Syria,
beheaded two American journalists and
become a top U.S. terrorism threat in the
region and beyond. The House and Senate
are both on a tight schedule, looking to
wrap up work Friday before an almost two-
month recess in preparation for Novembers
midterm elections.
The authorization under consideration
will likely be included as an amendment to a
spending bill Congress must pass to keep
the government open until mid-December.
That would give lawmakers the opportunity
to hold a separate debate and vote on the
matter something members of both par-
ties want.
The measure doesnt authorize U.S. com-
bat troops in Iraq or Syria or explicitly ban
them, reflecting a congressional divide
between hawks seeking tougher action than
that proposed by Obama and lawmakers
weary from more than a decade of U.S. wars
in Iraq and Afghanistan. It also compels the
Pentagon to present Congress with a plan
15 days before any training begins, accord-
ing to a summary released by House Armed
Services Committee Chairman Howard
Buck McKeon, R-Calif.
Democrats are reviewing the proposal,
which would enable the military to take
over what has previously been a limited,
covert operation to beef up rebels battling
extremist groups and President Bashar
Assads army. The administration isnt like-
ly to protest the conditions. It has sent
more than 1,000 troops to Iraq to provide
military assistance and bolster security of
U.S. diplomatic facilities and personnel.
But Obama, too, opposes any U.S. ground
offensive.
Republicans were to gather for internal
talks Tuesday morning. AHouse vote could
be held Thursday, by which time lawmakers
will have had opportunities to question the
administrations top national security of-
cials. The Senate would then follow.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel briefs
House and Senate committees Tuesday and
Thursday, with Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen.
Martin Dempsey also testifying. Secretary
of State John Kerry appears before separate
panels Wednesday and Thursday.
Obamas approach to ghting the Islamic
State group largely sidesteps Congress. The
president isnt asking for permission to
expand strikes in Iraq and target the mili-
tants operational bases and command struc-
tures in Syria, a source of consternation for
some Democrats and Republicans who say
the Constitution demands the legislative
branch declare war.
Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., is introduc-
ing a bill providing that authorization
while limiting U.S. engagement to 18
months and ruling out military action out-
side Iraq or Syria. Such legislation isnt
likely to get a look until next year, if at all.
It is truly ironic the administration thinks
it needs to ask for authorization ... to fund
opposition forces, but it can proceed to go
to war without Congress, Schiff said in a
telephone interview.
In the Senate, Democrat Tim Kaine of
Virginia and Republican Bob Corker of
Tennessee have led similar efforts.
Obamas opposition to ground forces
explains why U.S. ofcials are attaching
such importance to enhancing the capaci-
ties of Syrias more moderate rebels.
Theyve received little in military assis-
tance from the United States over three-and-
a-half years of civil war and have been over-
whelmed by opponents on both sides. Until
recently, U.S. ofcials were among the most
opposed to providing them with greater
assistance.

OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
Congestion is here
Editor,
First I want to thank Beverly Kalinin and
Robert Nice for taking the time to speak out
on the subject of San Mateos growing prob-
lem (Station Park Green in the Sept. 5
edition of the Daily Journal; Problems in
San Mateo in the Sept. 9 edition of the
Daily Journal). When it became known that
the former Police Department property, as
well as Kmart and Michaels, would be con-
verted to condominiums, I asked a city
ofcial what they were thinking. The answer
I got was disturbing; June, we need the
taxes, they said. Besides Bay Meadows,
there are several other residential properties
under construction.
No amount of money from taxes is going to
solve the trafc problems at Delaware Street
and State Route 92 as well as build the
needed schools and other facilities to assist
the incoming population. As Mr. Nice
points out, the state water problems are se-
vere.
I was told the people buying the new con-
dos would be traveling the train corridor for
work. So? Will they not be shopping, at-
tending sporting events, attending local
movies and having guests in their bright
new living quarters? Will they not want to
take their kids to school during inclement
weather? Maybe they wont want to walk in
the rain to take the train. Where will they
park? How many more gas stations and traf-
c police for accidents at commute time will
be needed?
It is commendable that most of the building
owners are committing a percentage of their
effort to low-cost housing. That doesnt
solve the other problems. Low-cost housing
is inhabited by us humans too.
Surely, it is time to stop and ask if the im-
mediate money gains are going to sink this
wonderful part of the Peninsula. It took me
15 minutes longer to get my daily swim at
the Ythis morning. And this is just the be-
ginning.

Bikes on board
Editor,
While I have not personally been bumped
from Caltrain due to capacity, the bike cars
are always very full, and I likely have only
escaped this fate because I tend to ride trains
leaving the downtown San Francisco sta-
tion, and arrive early enough to board before
the train is full. When the bike cars are full
to capacity, it can take a long time for bik-
ers to disembark at a station, as they have to
squeeze through all the people waiting, nd
and remove their bike from the rack, and
then squeeze through everyone again, this
time with the added encumbrance of a bike.
As part of the new purchase of bombardier
cars, I strongly encourage Caltrain to retrot
the new cars to make them bike cars instead
of just telling bikers to rearrange their
schedule. There is only so far that strategy
can work, and mostly it discourages com-
muters from biking in the rst place. While
that does reduce congestion in the bike cars,
Im sure that is not the desired outcome.
Karl Schults
San Francisco
Bicyclists have a
right to ride the train
Editor,
As a daily commuter with Caltrain for over
10 years, I rely on being able to bike to and
from the station. Ive been bumped from the
bike car several times this year.
Recently, I was among three lucky bicy-
clists who got on the train in San Mateo,
leaving ve unlucky commuters behind. The
conductor then scornfully said that we
should feel lucky that bikes were allowed on
the train at all, lecturing a fellow rider for
the next three stops about how it was ridicu-
lous that bicyclists should expect to ride on
the train. Its unfortunate that a Caltrain em-
ployee feels that bicyclists have less of a
right to public transit than pedestrians.
There have been times that Ive been
bumped from two trains in a row, so now
more often than not if Im bumped from a
train Ill give up and drive instead.
As the Bay Area is growing more concerned
with both traffic congestion and sustainable
transit options, it makes sense to not just
connect the different mass transit systems
of BART, Muni and Caltrain, but to make it
possible for more people to use their bicy-
cles in conjunction with mass transit.

More useless water wasting
Editor,
The residents of California must wake up
and see this solar project of Googles for
what it is (Google invests in California
solar power plant in the Sept. 11 edition of
the Daily Journal). Another water waster.
Why do I say that? Solar power plants need
water for cleaning/cooling, depending on
what type of panels, troughs or mirrors and
other operational and maintenance aspects
of the plant are used. Adding an additional
250,000 solar panels to an already stressed
water supply is ludicrous. There are already
five plus operational solar arrays in the
same general vicinity using water for their
operation. Those five power plants have
more than 23 million solar panels, accord-
ing to Wikipedia data, that need cleaning
and maintaining. California does not need
any solar power plant for any reason. Solar
is the destruction of our nations power grid
and conventional reliable efficient power
plants.
Do the research on your own people and see
exactly what solar power is. Dont listen to
solar proponents or solar companies. Step
out of the box and read for yourself and you
will see solar is not good for anyone or any-
thing except a choice few to make them
millionaires.

ISIS and Hamas terrorists
Editor,
Mike Caggiano, Frank Scafani, Jagjt
Singh, all to a different extent, want the
United States to fight ISIS (Caggianos let-
ter Obamas 9/11 speech, Scafanis letter
What Obama should have said, and
Singhs letter Obama needs to take action
in the Middle East in the Sept. 12 edition
of the Daily Journal). Maybe now the
United States will better understand why Is-
rael had to fight Hamas. ISIS and Hamas are
more similar than they are different, because
they are both extremist Muslim terrorists.
At last the media are calling the terrorists
terrorists instead of militants.

Isis, you have the

Examining
the issue
T
odays news is tomorrows sh
wrap.In one Peninsula city, though,
some newspapers might not even be
that useful. The city of San Carlos is inter-
ested in crafting an ordinance to ban
unwanted solicitations and unrequested
newspapers from being delivered.
Theyre an eyesore to some. Asafety haz-
ard to others a pile of untouched papers
on the porch just screams Im not home to
potential burglars. Many are frustrated that
they must receive and dispose of newspapers
that they simply do not want. They said
they try to end the subscriptions but phone
calls fall on deaf ears. Theres a national do-
not-call list and even the U.S. Post Ofce
will halt mail during a vacation but those
pesky newspapers? Good luck.
This is where the Daily Journal gets to
feel superior. Our
papers are found in
boxes on the street
and inside certain
businesses and pub-
lic locations. We
only deliver to a
rare handful of sub-
scribers, never
willy-nilly to resi-
dents who may or
may not agree with
our belief of leading
local news coverage on the Peninsula.
Those who miss grabbing a paper or prefer
their news digitally can nd us online.
As the San Carlos city councilmembers
point ngers, specically at The Examiner,
I should be putting my thumb to my nose,
wiggling my ngers and cackling ha ha.
To quote Councilman Cameron Johnson, to
call the advertisement-heavy Examiner a
newspaper is a very thin description.
Doing a little math, Johnson penciled out
that more than 300,000 newspapers are
delivered in San Carlos every year and most
probably go straight to the recycling bin.
Ouch. Thats a lot of birdcage lining.
The city with an ordinance will only help
other Peninsula newspapers crush the com-
petition not, of course, that there is any
with the Daily Journal. We humbly just
know we are the best.
And yet, banning unsolicited newspapers
is going down a slippery slope of trying to
rid the city of a nuisance with not stepping
on the delicate toes of the First Amendment.
First, they start with those gardening adver-
tisements or what most of us think of as a
little pink message in a plastic bag with a
rock. Then comes the newspapers, so sweet-
ly referred to throwaways by the masses.
Defensive side note: just because it is free
doesnt mean it belongs in the trash. Plenty
of paid subscription newspapers sorely lack
in the quality content department.
Then what comes next on the banned list?
Im just as happy as the next person never to
nd a pizza coupon hanger on my front door-
knob or offers to help me nd Jesus under
my welcome mat. But the problem is where
to draw the line. It is unfortunate that cities
have to even pick up the marker to do so; the
real solution lies in the publication realizing
that boosting its circulation numbers is also
elevating its label as an annoyance.
If regulating the papers proves too chal-
lenging, perhaps it is time to nd other uses
for the sheets. The aforementioned birdcages
and sh wrapping come to mind. Maybe large
origami pieces or paper hats for everybody.
Keeping the driveway clean during oil changes
Or, since plastic bag bans have let many ani-
mal owners without easy-to-grab cleanup
bags, why not use the undesired newspapers to
pick up Fidos business? After all, the publish-
er dumped them rst. Recipients while
keeping the First Amendment intact will
just be returning the favor.

Big movers

NEW YORK Investors played it
safe on Monday ahead of a potentially
pivotal Federal Reserve meeting.
While large company stocks ended the
day little changed, smaller, riskier
stocks slumped.
Fed policy makers start a two-day
meeting on Tuesday and many
investors expect the central bank to
indicate that it is moving closer to
raising its key interest rate as the
economy strengthens. The Fed has
held the rate close to zero for more
than ve years, and stocks have surged
against that backdrop.
Reading the tea leaves, it seems
that investors are trying to position
themselves for a more aggressive
Fed, said Jack Ablin, chief invest-
ment ofcer at BMO Private Bank.
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 43.63 points, or 0.3 percent, to
17,031.14. The Standard & Poors 500
index dropped 1.41, or 0.1 percent, to
1,984.13. The Nasdaq composite fell
48.70 points, or 1.1 percent, to
4,518.90.
The Russell 2000 index, an index of
small company stocks, slipped 14.09
points, or 1.2 percent, to 1,146.52.
Higher interest rates mean that com-
panies and consumers have to pay
more to borrow, leaving them with
lower prots and less money to spend.
Smaller-company stocks are more
vulnerable to a sell-off because their
valuations have become more
stretched as the stock market has ral-
lied, BMOs Ablin said.
The average price-earnings ratio, a
measure of a companys stock against
next years earnings, has climbed to
15.5 from 12.6 at the start of 2013 for
S&P 500 companies. For companies
in the Nasdaq composite that ratio has
risen to 19.8 from 14.9 in the same
period.
Among individual stocks, Molson
Coors was the biggest gainer in the
S&P 500 on Monday.
The brewers stock rose $4.20, or
5.9 percent, to $76, after touching an
all-time high. The brewers stock
jumped on merger news in the beer
industry. Heineken said late Sunday
that it rejected a takeover bid by rival
SABMiller, the worlds second-largest
brewer. Reports said that SABMiller
tried to buy Heineken as a defense
against an acquisition bid from
Anheuser-Busch InBev, the industry
leader.
The news on the economy on
Monday was mixed.
U.S. manufacturing output declined
in August for the rst time in seven
months, reecting a sharp fall in pro-
duction at auto plants. Output at manu-
facturing plants fell 0.4 percent in
August after a 0.7 percent rise in July,
the Federal Reserve reported.
On the other hand, a gauge of manu-
facturing in New York state jumped to
27.5 in August from 14.7 in July.
Some strategists say that investors
shouldnt focus too much on the
upcoming Fed meeting, because policy
makers will keep rates low until they
are convinced that the economic
recovery is entrenched. Any sell-off
caused by Fed worries may even pres-
ent investors with a buying opportuni-
t y, said Robert Pavlik, chief market
strategist at Banyan Partners.
Its not going to be the rst time
that interest rates have moved up, and
it hasnt stagnated the economy,
Pavlik said. The market does well if
interest rates move up gradually.
In government bond trading, prices
rose. The yield on the 10-year Treasury
note, which falls when prices rise,
dropped to 2.59 percent from 2.61 per-
cent late Friday, when it reached a two-
month high.
Another big event that traders are
watching this week is Thursdays inde-
pendence referendum in Scotland. Wi t h
opinion polls showing the vote too
close to call, theres potential for
some sizeable move in U.K. markets.
The pound has turned volatile in recent
Investors play it safe ahead of Fed meeting
Apple: Record 4M orders of iPhones on first day
NEW YORK Apple had more than 4 million advance
orders of its new, larger iPhones in the rst 24 hours, exceed-
ing its initial supply, the company said Monday.
The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will be delivered to cus-
tomers starting Friday and throughout September, but many
wont be delivered until October, Apple said. Phones will
still be available Friday on a walk-in basis at Apple retail
stores and from various wireless carriers and authorized
Apple resellers.
Apples website had intermittent outages last Friday
because of heavy trafc as orders began online. The compa-
ny said the 4 million orders set a new 24-hour record, beating
the 2 million orders in 2012. That was for the iPhone 5, the
previous time Apple increased the iPhones screen size.
Last year, Apple sold 9 million iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c
phones in the rst three days they were on sale, but the com-
pany didnt say how many came in the rst 24 hours of
advance orders.
The new phones will initially be available in the U.S.,
Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan,
Puerto Rico, Singapore and the U.K. Availability will
expand to more than 20 additional countries a week later.
Business brief
By Hope Yen
WASHINGTON Advertised as a
path to an affordable retirement, feder-
ally insured reverse mortgages are
showing signs of a rebound, drawing
the scrutiny of regulators seeking to
reduce historically high default rates
that have cost the government bil-
lions.
Industry analysts expect strong
growth as the housing market
improves, particularly in once hard-hit
Sun Belt areas including Phoenix,
Miami and San Diego, California, and
aging Americans nd value in growing
old in their homes.
They are also being boosted by high-
appreciation, gentrifying neighbor-
hoods in older cities such as New
Yorks Brooklyn borough.
Analysts say they expect continued
interest as the leading edge of 78 mil-
lion baby boomers approach 70, the
age when a person typically begins to
consider a reverse mortgage. Apoll by
Gallup in April found that 68 percent of
Americans ages 50 to 64 said they were
very or moderately worried about
having enough money in retirement.
Areverse mortgage allows borrowers
62 or older to receive a line of credit or
lump-sum or monthly cash payments
off the accumulated equity in their
homes. The loan comes due when the
borrower dies, moves or sells the
house. The borrowers heirs are not
liable if the loan balance exceeds the
value of the home FHA covers the
risk. Reverse mortgages have been
pitched in slick TV ads featuring actor
Henry Winkler and former U.S. Sen.
Fred Thompson.
Philadelphia, where many families
have lived in the same close-knit
neighborhoods for generations, has
ranked at the top for reverse mortgages
awarded since 2011, according to an
analysis of Federal Housing
Administration data for The Associated
Press by Reverse Market Insight, a
California-based company. This year,
Philadelphia was followed by Los
Angeles, Washington and Chicago.
After retiring from his newspaper ad
sales job two years ago, Myles Grifn
and his wife took out a reverse mort-
gage in May to supplement their Social
Security income. The couple took out
loans worth nearly $30,000 on the
home they have lived in for 40 years in
a working-class neighborhood of
northeast Philadelphia to help pay off
credit card bills and remodel their
kitchen leaving open the option to
tap into some of the remaining equity
later if needed.
We had a look at whether we wanted
to move into a senior living facility,
but that was more expensive, so we
decided to stay with the house, Grifn
said. We like our neighbors very much
so this was the best way to go.
Reverse mortgages havent always
worked well. After the housing boom,
many Americans took advantage of
exible lending terms to quickly draw
large amounts of cash, later falling
into financial trouble during the
extended economic downturn.
Reverse mortgages poised for rebound
By Mae Anderson
NEW YORK Microsofts decision
to spend $2.5 billion for the creator of
the hit game Minecraft could help the
Xbox maker grab attention on mobile
phones, a new priority for the company.
But the move carries risks, as gamers
can be ckle. Although the Lego-like
multiplayer game is currently the top
paid app for the iPhone and Android
devices in the U.S., todays popular hit
could be tomorrows dud. The maker of
the much obsessed-over Candy Crush
Saga, for example, rode the games
popularity to go public this year, only
to see its stock falter.
In addition, the founders of Mojang,
the Swedish company behind
Minecraft, arent staying with
Microsoft. That could raise questions
about Mojangs ability to create another
big hit.
Then again, a big hit was not what co-
founder Markus Notch Persson was
after when he created the game, accord-
ing to a blog post Monday from Mojang
and a note from Persson himself on his
website.
It certainly seems like the founders of
Minecraft didnt want to continue for-
ward, Gartner analyst Brian Blau said.
It was something too big for them.
Minecraft is best in the hands of some-
body who can take it in the direction it
needs to go for the user.
Microsoft has made mobile phones
and Internet services priorities for the
company as its traditional businesses
Windows and Ofce software installed
on desktops slow down or decline.
With Minecraft, Blau said, Microsoft
gains a new type of customer mobile
players.
Minecraft is very popular on
mobile, Blau said. It has an audience
that wouldnt necessarily think of
Microsoft rst. The mobile audience is
typically Apple and Samsung.
Minecraft is an open world game
in gamer lingo, meaning it has no plot
or outlined objectives. Players can
explore and create virtual worlds built
from blocky 3-D objects thus the fre-
quent Lego comparisons.
It can also be about adventuring with
friends or watching the sun rise over a
blocky ocean. Its pretty. Brave players
battle terrible things in The Nether,
which is more scary than pretty. You can
also visit a land of mushrooms if it
sounds more like your cup of tea,
Minecrafts website explains.
Besides iPhones and Android devices,
the game is available on Windows,
Macs, Microsofts Xbox and Sonys
PlayStation. Microsoft said it will con-
tinue to make Minecraft available on
all those platforms after the deal closes,
expected this year.
With an all-ages E rating, the game
has been downloaded 100 million times
on personal computers since its debut in
2009, and its the most popular online
game on Microsofts Xbox console.
Microsoft, which released the rst
Xbox in 2001, also owns the block-
buster Halo video game franchise.
Unlike Halo, though, Minecraft is
especially popular with younger gamers
whose parents might not be comfortable
with them going on wild alien
shootouts.

SANTA CLARA San Francisco 49ers
coach Jim Harbaugh insisted Monday that
public pressure will not sway his decision
to play Ray McDonald during an investiga-
tion into the defensive lineman's arrest on
suspicion of domestic violence.
Harbaugh said there could be a resolu-
tion in the case this week for McDonald,
arrested at his home Aug. 31 while celebrat-
ing his 30th birthday with teammates and
friends.

Sacred Heart Prep senior Victoria Garrick totaled 43 kills through two games last week.

Sacred Heart Prep senior Victoria Garrick
has her priorities very much in line on the
volleyball court.
Those priorities might seem unconven-
tional to some, but they certainly work for
the Gators star outside hitter. While she is
Sacred Heart Preps most lethal shooting
weapon off the left side, passing is a key
staple of her game. Defense is too. Its these
periphery skills which will serve her at the
next level, as Garrick is verbally committed
to USC, where she aspires to play as a defen-
sive specialist and libero.
At the outset of her senior high school
season though, as much as all the skills of
her all-around game and all the kills shes
racking up this season Garricks mission
is to be a team leader. And the secret to her
success is in this respect, above all else, is
to be loud.
After passing, I think being loud is the
most important thing, Garrick said.
In the midst of being a loud vocal leader
on the court, Garrick had quite a showing
last week. Sacred Heart Prep extended its cur-
rent winning streak to four games with vic-
tories over Sequoia and San Mateo.
Last Tuesday in a four-set win over
Sequoia, Garrick racked up a season-high 22
kills while also tabbing 20 digs and 21
serve receives. Last Friday in a sweep of San
Mateo, she scored 21 kills. Because of her
outstanding back-to-back performances,
Garrick has been named the San Mateo Daily
Journal Athlete of the Week.
Sacred Heart Prep rst-year head coach
Allison Magner is new to the high school
ranks. Magner previously served as head
coach at the University of Alabama at
Birmingham and also was an assistant coach
at Western Carolina University. But she has
gained a quick respect for her senior team
captain, Garrick.
Victoria is a coachs dream, Magner
said. She has all the physical tools but
she also has the intangibles.
Those intangibles as a team leader loomed
large last week. Sacred Heart Prep has ve

ALAMEDA After an offseason overhaul
that brought on board veteran players with
playoff pedigrees, the Oakland Raiders were
optimistic for a turnaround after back-to-back
four-win seasons.
After just two games, that optimism has
quickly turned to frustration and disbelief as
the Raiders have been physically dominated in
losing to the New York Jets and Houston
Texans.
With a trip to New England this week to face
the Patriots followed by a home game in
England against Miami, the Raiders (0-2) need
to x things quickly or the season could spiral
out of control.
Were two weeks into the season. At the
same time, you dont want to bury your head in
the sand, coach Dennis Allen said Monday.
Weve got to get better. We need to do it fast.
The disappointment is already mounting
with veteran safety Charles Woodson sound-
ing off after the game, saying he was embar-
rassed by the teams play and that the perform-
ance in the 30-14 loss to Houston sucked.
I think thats something that is spoken out
of frustration, Allen said.
When you watch Charles
Woodson play in that
game and the effort that he
gave in that game and the
passion in which he
played in that game, its a
tough pill to swallow.
When you go out there and
dont perform like youre
capable of performing. He
gave everything he had in
that game and we have to get more guys play-
ing like that.
The biggest issues have been on run defense,
where the Raiders have allowed an NFL-worst
400 yards rushing in just two weeks. They
have been gashed by long runs from Chris
Ivory in the opener and Arian Foster on Sunday
and have consistently been beaten at the line
of scrimmage despite the additions of Justin
Tuck, LaMarr Woodley and Antonio Smith in
the offseason.
The problems were especially bad at the start
of the game when Foster had 12 carries for 76
yards on the rst two drives as the Texans took

PHOENIX Mark Trumbos bat put a dent
in San Franciscos NLWest hopes.
Wade Mileys left arm didnt do the Giants
any favors either.
Trumbo hit a grand slam off Ryan
Vogelsong, Miley pitched seven effective
innings and the Giants dropped further behind
in the NL West with a 6-2 loss to the Arizona
Diamondbacks Monday night.
Joaquin Arias had three hits and Buster
Posey a run-scoring single for the Giants,
who dropped four games behind the Los
Angeles Dodgers in the NLWest.
They scored all three runs with two outs,
Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. We had a
couple of pretty good opportunities, but
couldnt get it close enough to put a little
more pressure on them.
A pair of losses to the Dodgers over the
weekend hurt San Franciscos NL West
chances, but the Giants were still in control of
the NL wild card, entering Mondays game
three games up on Pittsburgh for the top spot.
What the Giants couldnt afford was a let-
down in a three-game series at Chase Field,
where they had won 16 of 22 games and six
straight series since 2012.
The start of this series against the strug-
gling Diamondbacks didnt go so well.
Miley (8-11) bounced back from his short-
est outing of the season by slowing down his
mechanics, allowing one run.
Trumbo started Arizonas homestand strong
and kept it going against the Giants, hitting
his ninth homer off Vogelsong (8-11) in the
third inning and a run-scoring single off Juan
Gutierrez in the seventh. Trumbo has six hits
and nine RBIs the past three games.
Hes kind of hitting his stride lately,

Katie Smoot,Notre Dame-Belmont volleyball. The soph-
omore outside hitter had two stellar performances, one
better than the next. In NDBs sweep of Mercy-Burlingame
last Tuesday, Smoot had a match-high 11 kills. Last Thurs-
day against University, the Tigers improved their record to
2-0 after battling to a four-set victory, including a thrilling
25-23 win in Game 4, with Smoot notching 19 kills.
Kristine Gese, Notre Dame-Belmont. Another key soph-
omore in the NDB mix,Gese had a monster performance in
support of Katie Smoots 19 kills and Tammy Byrnes 17 kills
last Thursday in the Tigersfour-set win over University.Gese
tabbed 57 sets and was also a force from the service line,
totaling 12 service points and three aces.
Terez Touhey,Woodside girlswater polo. Last Wednesday
against Menlo School,the Wildcats fell behind 2-0 early.Terez
helped rally Woodside to a 12-5 victory though with out-
standing defense and also shared the match-high of four
goals with teammate Mina Sealund.
Tyler Gonzales,Hillsdale football.In a 27-6 win over Lincoln-
SF last Friday, the Knights totaled 306 yards of total offense,
including 209 yards in the second half.Gonzales provided the
highlight performance as the senior wide receiver had four
catches for 115 yards and a touchdown,including a 69-yard re-
ception from junior quarterback Brett Wetteland.
Tony Pellegrini,Capuchino football. While the senior quar-
terback didnt test the air attack all too much,he motored for
162 rushing yards on 14 carries to lead the Mustangs to their
rst win of the year with a 14-7 victory over South City last
Friday night.
Watson Filikitonga,San Mateo football.The Bearcats are off
to a 2-0 start, most recently defeating Lynbrook 47-9 last Fri-
day.Filikitonga had a career day out of the backeld,rushing
for 213 yards, including three touchdowns, on just nine car-
ries.San Mateo also got a big performance from junior running
back Josh Fakava,who rushed for 129 on seven carries and two
touchdowns, as the Bearcats rushed for 456 yards as a team.
Kono Filimoehala-Egan, Aragon football. The Dons
grabbed four interceptions in Saturdays 19-0 win at El
Camino. The senior defensive back Filimoehala-Egan had
two of the pickoffs,including one at the 50-yard line midway
through the second quarter amid a scoreless tie to set up
Aragons rst score. Near the end of the third quarter, Fil-
imoehala-Egan,out of the wide receiver slot,also completed
an 18-yard pass to Chris Fiscal on a reverse option play.
Faavae Brown, Sequoia football. The Cherokees traveled
six hours south to Valley Center High School. Once there,
Brown just kept going,as the junior quarterback rushed for
a 159 on 27 carries and three touchdowns as Sequoia tabbed
its rst win of the season with a 40-34 victory.
Anthony Gordon, Terra Nova football. The Tigers are
off to a 0-2 start, but their senior quarterback had his
second big week in a row in Fridays 27-24 loss to St. Ig-
natius. A week after throwing for 453 yards in an
opening-night loss to Bishop ODowd, Gordon was 27
of 42 for 328 yards and three touchdown passes last Fri-
day. Two of his receivers Marvin Montoya and Jordan
Genato surpassed the 100-yard plateau.
Charlie Ferguson, Menlo School football. A week after
making his varsity debut with a standout defensive per-
formance, the sophomore exploded out of the Knights
backeld. Ferguson ran for 190 yards on 13 carries and two
touchdowns as Menlo went on to a 68-8 romp over Mission
Saturday.He also totaled 246 all-purpose yards.Defensively,
Ferguson tabbed four tackles,including two tackles for a loss.
Kevin Kutchera, College of San Mateo football. CSM gen-
erated two defensive touchdowns and one on special teams
in a 51-26 win over Modesto all three by way of turnover
but the Bulldogsair attack still saw Kutchera post his sec-
ond straight 100-yard receiving game.The sophomore wide
out totaled 105 yards on ve receptions and two touch-
downs, including a 9-yard score in the third quarter to give
CSM the lead for keeps.

Magner moved outside hitter Kendall Reich

Garricks on-court leadership.
She demanded every ball on every play,
Magner said. She wanted her team to feel the
comfort she was going to get the job done.
As a third-year varsity starter for the
Gators, leadership is something Garrick
does not take for granted. In her sophomore
season of 2012, Sacred Heart Prep boasted
some dynamic seniors in Payton Smith and
Ellie Shannon, both of whom are currently
playing in the Ivy League. Along with sen-
ior Sonia Abuel-Saud, each of the senior trio
tabbed over 300 kills to pilot the Gators to
a Northern California championship.
Garrick was a serious threat from the outside
as well, ranking fourth on the team with 299
kills. But the opportunity to play with such a
class of players in her rst year at Sacred Heart
Prep, after transferring from St. Francis, was
invaluable, according to Garrick.
They were huge role models and we looked
up to them a lot, Garrick said. Im just hoping
me and the other seniors this year can replicate
the way they mentored us.
Shes done precisely that, said Magner.
From Day 1, she was coming in and asking,
How can I be better? How can I help everybody
else on the team?Its been such a blessing as a
coach, Magner said.
With three underclassmen in the mix, includ-
ing up-and-coming freshman Cate Desler
who Magner said brings a crazy line shot
Garrick is poised to pass her leadership traits
on to the next generation. But Garrick also
prides herself on being a hyper-competitive
player and has her sights set on returning to the
state-tourney prominence of two seasons ago.
Shes been a dominant outside hitter at
Sacred Heart Prep, and whatever shes needed to
do to help the team, shes going to do that to
the best of her ability, Magner said. She
works to be the best.
Off to a 6-2 start including a big win over
archrival Menlo School en route to a Blue
Division title at Spikefest on Sept. 6 Sacred
Heart Prep is emerging through the infant
stages of the season as a legit threat in its quest
to be the best. And Garrick is determined to see
the quest through.
As a senior, I want to go out saying I
gave my heart and soul to my school team as
a senior, Garrick said.

INDIANAPOLIS Nick Foles threw a tying
touchdown pass with 3:25 to go, and then set
up Cody Parkey for the winning 36-yard eld
goal as time expired, lifting Philadelphia to a
30-27 win at Indianapolis on Monday night.
Darren Sproles had seven receptions for
152 yards to go along with a touchdown run as
the Eagles (2-0) won their rst game on the
road for the sixth consecutive season.
Indianapolis (0-2) has lost consecutive regu-
lar-season games for the rst time since Andrew
Luck and coach Chuck Pagano arrived in 2012.
The Colts led most of the night, including
27-20 late in the game. But Lucks late inter-
ception led to Foles tying 6-yard TD pass to
Jeremy Maclin, and after another three-and-
out by the Colts, Foles drove the Eagles into
position for the winning eld goal.
We felt we had some plays (in the rst half),
we just couldnt make them, Eagles coach Chip
Kelly said. But were going to play 60 minutes
and we played 60 minutes.
The Eagles potent offense started slow,
managing just two eld goals in the rst half
and failing to score a touchdown before LeSean
McCoys 1-yard run with 4:32 left in the third
quarter. They nished strong, tying it at 20
when Sproles managed to stay on his feet for a
19-yard run late in the third and again at 27 on
a 6-yard TD pass to Jeremy Maclin.
Luck drove the Colts right back down the eld
and hooked up with Ahmad Bradshaw for a
tiebreaking score, but Indy couldnt close it out
and the Eagles took advantage.
Foles was 21 of 37 for 331 yards with the
one score. LeSean McCoy ran 20 times for 79
yards and a touchdown.Indy looked as if it
would give Luck a respite from his late-game
heroics. The Colts led most of the night,
thanks to an unusually strong ground game.
But it just wasnt enough.
Luck tried to seal the game with a short pass
to T.Y. Hilton with 5:08 to go and the Colts
driving. But Malcolm Jenkins caught the ball
on the run while it looked as if Hilton was
grabbed on the play. There was no call.
Two plays later, McCoy was stopped for a
loss but LaRon Landry was called for a horse-
collar tackle. Sproles then took a swing pass
for a 51-yard gain to the 6, and Foles found
Maclin for the tying score.
The Eagles defense held again and Parkey
nally won it.
They made the plays they had to make. We
just didnt play a 60-minute ballgame, Pagano
said. Turnovers killed us. Big runs, big plays
in the pass game, killed us.
Indy controlled most of the rst three quarters.
Luck wiped out a 3-0 decit with a 1-yard TD
pass to Bradshaw with 5:18 left in the rst quar-
ter. And after Parkey missed a 38-yard eld goal,
Luck set up Adam Vinatieri for a 46-yarder to
make it 10-3 early in the second quarter.
After Parkey made a 23-yard eld goal, Luck
passed to Jack Doyle for a 1-yard TD with 1:13
left in the rst half to make it 17-6.
When it looked as if the Colts might pull
away following Vinatieris 27-yard eld goal
midway through the third quarter, the Eagles ral-
lied with the TDs from McCoy and Sproles.
Luck broke the tie with the TD pass to
Bradshaw, and a late interception gave the
Eagles one more chance to tie it.
I just think we did a better job in the second
half, Kelly said.

for due process, and were not going to inch
based on public speculation.
Harbaugh, 49ers CEO Jed York and general
manager Trent Baalke all have said publicly
they will let the legal process play out before
deciding to sit McDonald or making any other
choices about his future with the team. They
have expressed that they have zero tolerance
for domestic violence.
The facts and the information, thats what
we said from the beginning, yes, said
Harbaugh, who like Baalke has daughters.
He would not conrm an NFLNetwork report
that the 49ers believe McDonalds version of
what happened.
I trust the process. The reason Im not
answering is Im not inserting myself into the
process, one way or the other, Harbaugh said.
I think thats the right thing to do, respect the
legal process, respect the due process. The
authorities are at work. Weve been pretty clear
on how were going about this.
The 49ers have plenty of problems on the
eld to deal with this week, too.
Tight end Vernon Davis injured his left ankle
and was hobbling around on crutches in the
locker room Sunday. He was having a scan and
being examined Monday.
San Francisco must try to regroup in a hurry
before Sundays game at rst-place Arizona (2-0).
With the reigning Super Bowl champion
Seattle Seahawks losing at San Diego, the
49ers realize they let a key chance slip away
early in the season.
Nobody feels really good about it. Its a bad
feeling when you lose the game, no matter how
you lose it, Harbaugh said. Being ahead in the
game and not nishing the game with a win leads
to a very bad feeling after the game and today.

a 14-0 lead.
You cant allow a team to just run the foot-
ball down the eld on you, Allen said. That
has to change. Like I told the players today,
run defense is a mentality. Run defense is about
lining up across from somebody, hitting them
in the mouth, knocking them back, getting off
a block, and making a play. Thats what run
defense is all about. Until we get to that point,
where we understand that, then were not going
to be very good at run defense.
Despite plenty of reasons for pessimism,
the Raiders believe the problems are xable.
Tuck said they might have underestimated how
difcult it was for the defense to gel after start-
ing the season with eight new starters.
Tuck said the major issue has been inconsis-
tency, where one player might miss an assign-
ment that turns into a big play.
Were not that far off, Tuck said. I know
with the way we played yesterday it looks like
were a long way off. There are so many little
things that happened in that game that could
have changed the course of the game com-
pletely. Four or ve plays. And thats the frus-
trating part about it. And it all comes back to
like I said earlier, being consistent.
NOTES: Linebacker Sio Moore (ankle) and
wide receiver Rod Streater (hip) had MRIs on
Monday but there was no update on their status.
Allen had no update on the status of linebacker
Nick Roach, who has been out since suffering a
concussion in a preseason game Aug. 22.

swinging the bat much better, more com-
fortable, Arizona manager Kirk Gibson
said of Trumbo.
Vogelsong pitched 6 2-3 scoreless innings
against the Diamondbacks his last outing,
but was in trouble by the third in his 30th
start of the season. The Diamondbacks loaded
the bases against him and Trumbo cashed in,
ending a 120 at-bat homerless streak by lift-
ing his second career grand slam just over the
wall in right.
Arizona loaded the bases again in the sixth
against Vogelsong, but Javier Lopez ended
the threat by inducing a groundout on his rst
pitch.
Vogelsong allowed four runs and six hits
with four walks and ve strikeouts.
It was a bad inning; it wasnt very good,
Vogelsong said.
Miley had his shortest outing of the sea-
son his last start against the Giants, lasting
just two innings after giving up three runs
and ve hits.
The left-hander tried to throw too hard in
that outing and spent the days in between
trying to slow things down. He did against
the Giants in his 100th career start, escap-
ing a jam in the second inning and giving
up one run on Brandon Crawfords ground-
out in the seventh.
Youve just got to put those behind you
those (games) are going to happen,
said Miley, who struck out four. Youve
just got to make adjustments and go on to
the next one.
Notes: Giants center elder Angel Pagan
tried to play Monday night despite a stiff
back. When his back was still tight during
batting practice, the Giants pulled him from
the lineup, hoping that hed be able to play
Tuesday after receiving treatment.
We miss him when he is not in the lineup,
Bochy said. We are a different club. He is our
leadoff hitter, our catalyst. He is the guy that
kind of makes things go.
The Giants had been on a tear with runners
in scoring position, hitting .361 over the
past 18 games. They couldnt come through
against Arizona, going 2 for 10 while strand-
ing nine runners.
First baseman Brandon Belt was activated
before the game after clearing concussion pro-
tocols. He had been on the DLsince Aug. 8.

SAN DIEGO Philadelphia
Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon
was suspended seven games and
fined Monday night by Major
League Baseball for making a lewd
gesture and then bumping an
umpire.
Papelbon said in a statement dis-
tributed by his agent that he would
immediately begin serving the sus-
pension, and that he regrets mak-
ing contact with umpire Joe West
on Sunday.
But the right-hander insisted he
wasnt making a vulgar motion
toward fans as he walked off the
eld to boos after giving up four
runs in the ninth inning of
Philadelphias 5-4 loss to the
Miami Marlins. He apologized to
Phillies fans in the statement.
Papelbon was ejected by West
after the umpire thought Papelbon
grabbed his crotch in response to
the jeers from the crowd.
The ery reliever jogged out of
the dugout and got into a face-to-
face argument with West, who
grasped the pitcher's jersey to hold
him off, and Papelbon then argued
with first base umpire Marty
Foster. Papelbon threw a cup of liq-
uid on the eld before leaving the
dugout.

RENO, Nev. A wing apparently mal-
functioned before an experimental aircraft
crashed, killing a retired Air Force pilot
from California during qualication heats of
the Reno National Championship Air Races
in Nevada last week, according to a prelimi-
nary crash report.
Portions of the right wing separated from
the Backovich GP-5 dubbed Sweet Dreams
before the aircraft rolled to the right and
crashed Sept. 8 in a more than half-mile-
long debris path, according to a National
Transportation Safety Board summary
released Saturday.
The pilot, Lee Behel, 64, of San Jose, died
in the crash. No one else was injured.
It could take a year or more for a nal acci-
dent report in the Behel crash, NTSB
spokesman Keith Holloway said Monday.
The crash occurred in a remote part of the
Stead Airport race course north of Reno, far
from grandstands where a racing plane that
plunged into a spectator area in 2011 killed
the pilot and 10 other people, and injured
dozens more.
The Reno Air Racing Association is coop-
erating with the Behel investigation, and
the preliminary report found no lapse or
error on behalf of the organization, Race
spokesman Mike Draper said.
Nearly 120 pilots flew in six aircraft
classes during the 51st annual National
Championship Air Races, which ended
Sunday with Steven Hinton Jr. of Chino,
California, piloting a P-51 Mustang to his
sixth consecutive Breitling Unlimited Gold
championship.
Hinton, 27, logged a top speed of more
than 492 mph in the nal race.
Pilot Bob Wolstenholme of Colmar,
Pennsylvania, made an emergency landing
with his aircraft, Another Mistress, amid
a cloud of smoke on a runway Sunday after-
noon during a sport-class race.
Wolstenholme wasnt injured, Hinton said.
The races draw thousands of spectators to
see high-performance and experimental
planes y wingtip-to-wingtip as low as 50
feet off the sagebrush desert on an oval path
around pylons. Distances and speeds depend
on the class of aircraft.

Huskies big
play makers
By Josh Liebeskind
SEATTLE If theres anything the
Washington Huskies have proven through
the seasons rst three games, its that they
have the ability to make big plays.
John Ross is the prime example. The
speedster wide receiver already has three
touchdown receptions longer than 55 yards.
Ross has had the ball in his hands 17 times
this season and gained 465 all-purpose yards
(27.4 yards per touch). That includes a 75-
yard touchdown reception last Saturday in the
Huskies 44-19 win over Illinois, but doesnt
include a 100-yard kickoff return in the same
game that was negated by a penalty.
Speed kills, as you guys saw with John
Ross on that deep ball, said receiver Jaydon
Mickens, referring to the 75-yard touchdown
play. Speed kills and we just need to keep
doing what were doing.
The Huskies (3-0) have averaged 51.5
points per game during their last two games
after managing just 17 in the opener at
Hawaii. Although Ross hauled in a 91-yard
score against the Rainbow Warriors, the
increased potency is noticeable with the
return of quarterback Cyler Miles from a one-
game suspension.
The biggest improvement, though, is the
Washington defense. A week removed from
allowing 52 points and more than 500 yards
to Eastern Washington, the Huskies shut
down Illinois quarterback Wes Lunt and came
away with three turnovers.
Linebacker Shaq Thompson had two of
those, and turned both into big plays. The
Pac-12 defensive player of the week scored
on a fumble recovery and an interception in
the win over Illinois.
We made some changes, we made some
coverage adjustments, those types of things
to mix some things up and help our guys out
a little bit, Washington coach Chris
Petersen said. We got three turnovers and
scored on two of them, thats not going to
happen every week. A little bit the ball
bouncing our way, a little bit the guys get-
ting better, a little bit coaching maybe
helped some things out.
Washington will need to continue to create
big plays if it wants to stay undefeated. Even
with Stanford on the horizon, players made it
abundantly clear Monday that Saturdays
game against Georgia State should not be
viewed as a tuneup.
Georgia State quarterback Nick Arbuckle is
averaging 373.7 yards passing per game and
has led the Panthers to the top two offensive
games, in terms of yards, in school history.
NEW YORK Mets pitcher Jacob
deGrom has tied a major league record by
striking out his rst eight batters.
The rookie whiffed eight consecutive
Miami Marlins to begin Monday nights
game at Citi Field, matching the mark set
by Jim Deshaies of the Houston Astros
against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sept.
23, 1986.
Deshaies and deGrom are the only pitch-
ers to accomplish the feat
since 1900.
Atop contender for NL
Rookie of the Year,
deGrom tied the record by
freezing Jeff Mathis with
a 95 mph fastball for a
called third strike. The
shaggy-haired righty
then gave up a sharp sin-
gle to opposing pitcher
Jarred Cosart on a 1-0 pitch.
As deGrom quickly piled up Ks, the small
crowd began clapping whenever he got two
strikes on a hitter. He received a warm ova-
tion following Cosarts base hit.
The previous Mets record for strikeouts to
start a game was six by Pete Falcone against
Philadelphia on May 1, 1980.
STATS says Mickey Welch of the New
York Gothams struck out the first nine
Cleveland Blues batters on Aug. 28, 1884
when the mound was only 50 feet from
home plate.

ANAHEIM The Los Angeles Angels
became the rst team in the major leagues to
clinch a playoff spot on Monday night,
with Matt Shoemaker pitching ve-hit ball
into the eighth inning of an 8-1 victory
over the Seattle Mariners.
David Freese and Brennan Boesch home-
red for the big league-leading Angels (94-
56), who reduced their magic number to
three in the AL West race with their 11t h
victory in 12 games. Los Angeles is assured
of at least a wild card berth in its rst post-
season since 2009.
Albert Pujols left the game in the third
inning with a left hamstring cramp after hit-
ting a three-run double off Hisashi Iwakuma
(14-8) for Los Angeles rst runs.
The Mariners (80-69) dropped two games
behind Kansas City for the second AL wild
card spot with their fth loss in six games.
Shoemaker (16-4),
who turns 28 next week-
end, improved his own
franchise record for rook-
ie victories with his
ninth win in 11 appear-
ances since July 26. He
pitched seven shutout
innings and didnt allow
a runner to reach third
base before Logan
Morrison doubled and scored on two ground-
outs in the eighth.
Manager Mike Scioscia and the Angels
training staff came out to check on
Shoemaker before he left after 7 2-3
innings.
Tony Campana had a two-run single and
Howie Kendrick had an RBI double in the
Angels 17th win in 20 games.
Iwakuma couldnt get out of the fourth
inning of his rst career loss to the Angels,
yielding six hits and seven runs. Humberto
Quintero drove in Seattles only run.
Iwakumas career-long dominance of the
Angels (5-0, 1.64 ERA) abruptly ended after
he retired Los Angeles rst eight batters.
The Japanese right-hander, who walked just
16 batters in his rst 176 innings this sea-
son, walked Efren Navarro and Mike Trout
with two outs in the third before Pujols
cleared the bases with a shot down the left-
eld line.
Pujols held his hamstring while jogging
slowly into second as Trout slid under the
cutoff throw at home, but the three-time NL
MVP left the game walking easily.
The speedy Campana replaced Pujols and
scored on Kendricks double. After Freese
crushed his ninth homer to center in the
fourth, the Angels loaded the bases for
Campana, who delivered his rst RBIs for
his new team.
Boeschs rst homer for the Angels put
them up 8-0 in the fth.

WASHINGTON Potential complica-
tions await consumers as President Barack
Obamas health care law approaches its sec-
ond open enrollment season, just two
months away.
Dont expect a repeat of last years web-
site meltdown, but the new sign-up period
could expose underlying problems with the
law itself that are less easily xed than a
computer system.
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-pre-
mium options. And they could get stuck
with an outdated and possibly incorrect
government subsidy. Automatic renewal
should be a last resort, consumer advocates
say.
An additional 5 million people or so will
be signing up for the first time on
HealthCare.gov and state exchange web-
sites. But the Nov. 15-Feb. 15 open enroll-
ment season will be half as long the 2013-
2014 sign-up period, and it overlaps with
the holiday season.
Of those enrolled this year, the over-
whelming majority received tax credits to
help pay their premiums. Because those
subsidies are tied to income, those 6.7 mil-
lion 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 pres-
ident for health policy at the Center on
Budget and Policy Priorities, which advo-
cates for low-income people, and supports
the law.
The fact that it is all going to be occur-
ring 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 organiza-
tions 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
connections 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
interview that he disagrees with making
people pay back part of their premium sub-
sidy. 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
better consumer experience, but ofcials
have released few details. Its unclear how
well system 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
Hurdles for Obama health
law in second sign-up season

WASHINGTON Thousands of con-
sumers risk losing nancial aid for health
care premiums under President Barack
Obamas law unless they clear up lingering
questions about their incomes, administra-
tion ofcials said Monday.
The Health and Human Services
Department said some people who got cov-
erage have reported incomes that dont
square with what the government has on
record. At least 279,000 households with
income discrepancies face a Sept. 30 dead-
line to submit documentation. If not, their
premiums will be adjusted up or down in
November.
Those consumers would still have a poli-
cy, but many risk seeing their nancial sub-
sidies slashed. Some may no longer be eli-
gible for any help with their premiums. Its
also conceivable that some could actually
be entitled to a bigger tax credit that would
lower what they pay. Andy Slavitt, a senior
official overseeing the HealthCare.gov
website, said the government has no way of
knowing at this point.
Separately, Slavitt said that at least
115,000 people who could not prove they
were citizens or legal U.S. residents will
lose coverage on Sept. 30.
The administration says it has made
repeated attempts to reach those consumers,
but immigrant advocacy groups say in some
cases the government has lost documents
sent in to prove eligibility. People living
in the country illegally are not entitled to
coverage under the law.
Florida and Texas top the list of citizen-
ship- and immigration-related cancella-
tions, with 35,100 and 19,600, respective-
l y. But the administration did not report any
information for immigration mega-states
like California and New York, which are run-
ning their own insurance marketplaces.
That omission means total cancellations
could be signicantly higher.
Slavitt said people whose immigration
and citizenship documents were lost by the
government can apply to have coverage
reinstated.
We recognize that we still have work to
do here, said Slavitt, a tech executive
brought in by the administration to oversee
the complex operations of the nations
newest social program. The situation that
occurred this year (with data discrepancies)
is not a one-time event. This is something
that we all have to recognize is a built-in
part of helping people get coverage.
The health care law offers subsidized pri-
vate insurance to people who do not have
coverage through their jobs. New insurance
exchanges, or marketplaces, are operating
in every state. The federal government is
taking the lead in 36 states either because of
political opposition to the law or because
some states ran into problems.
Nearly 9 in 10 people - 85 percent - of the
8 million who got coverage under Obamas
law have gotten financial aid, which is
keyed to income, household size and other
factors.
Without it, the coverage would be unaf-
fordable for many. The government says the
average consumer is paying $82 a month on
a premium of $346. That works out to an
average monthly subsidy of $264.
Data discrepancies involving income,
citizenship and immigration started to
emerge soon after the open enrollment sea-
son ended in mid-April. As of May 30, there
were about 1.2 million households with
income discrepancies. Slavitt said there has
been considerable progress resolving such
cases, although about 279,000 remain in
the federal exchange states.
Im hopeful and condent people will
respond, he said, referring to Mondays
announcement.
All of the 6.7 million people who got
health insurance tax credits for this year
will face a nal accounting when they le
their 2014 income tax returns. Those who
under-reported their income will owe money

NEWYORK For the rst time in years,
more than 1 million New Yorkers are smok-
ing, according to data released Monday, mark-
ing a disturbing rise of tobacco use in the city
that pioneered a number of anti-smoking ini-
tiatives that were emulated nationally.
Sixteen percent of adult New Yorkers
smoked in 2013, up from 14 percent in 2010,
which was the citys lowest recorded rate,
according to the ndings released by New
York Citys Department of Health.
The rise in 2013, which is the most recent
data available, is striking since it comes as
smoking rates fall across the country.
However, the national average 18 percent
is still higher than it is New York.
Weve had a plateau in the smoking rate for
a couple of years, but now it is a statistically
signicant increase, said Dr. Mary Bassett,
the citys health commissioner. We now
know the rise is real and we aim to do some-
thing about it.
The ndings were culled from answers to the
departments annual health survey of thou-
sands city residents.
Under Michael Bloomberg, who served 12
years as mayor beginning in 2002, New York
radically reshaped its plans to curb smoking
among its residents. Bloombergs signature
health initiative was to bar smoking in public
parks and most other public places, including
bars and restaurants, across the nations
largest city.
While those decisions originally sparked
controversy, the policy was later embraced by
most New Yorkers and copied across the U.S.
The city also funded several hard-hitting cam-
paigns that used graphic imagery of smoke-
damaged internal organs and depictions of
amputations and other smoking-related health
complications to scare off users, particular-
ly children.
Moreover, a pack of cigarettes purchased in
New York City is subject to more taxes than
any other municipality in the nation.
Bassett believes that city budget cutbacks
caused by the economic downturn of the last
six years is the largest culprit for the rise.
The city used a whole host of tools to drive
down smoking, said Bassett, who was
appointed by Mayor Bill de Blasio after he
took ofce in January. But we know we
havent been able to maintain the foot on the
gas in the same way.
The city had to scale back on expensive tel-
evision advertising and did away with some of
its programs aimed at helping people quit,
including one to provide nicotine replace-
ments to smokers.
The culture of smoking has also changed,
Bassett said. The city has seen a rise in part-
time smokers including some social smok-
ers who dont turn to cigarettes every day
and that is the demographic being targeted by
the governments new $830,000 ad campaign
entitled Imagine for Life.
Were aiming at smokers who think they
dont smoke enough for it to hurt him,
Bassett said. This is a product that is not safe
in any amount. The effects that people feel the
morning after being out at a bar smoking, like
that dry cough, is a signal that its not
healthy.
Bassett said the city also aims to bolster its
support system for would-be quitters and
emphasized that despite the recent rise in
smoking, the number of smokers is still 25
percent lower than it was in 2002.

CHICAGO An anti-addiction drug used
to ght the nations heroin and painkiller
abuse epidemics poses a threat to young chil-
dren who accidentally swallow relatives pre-
scriptions, a federal study says. Some chil-
dren have died.
The study found that the drug, buprenor-
phine, was the adult prescription medication
most commonly implicated in emergency
hospitalizations of children aged 6 and
younger.
For every 100,000 patients prescribed
buprenorphine, 200 young children were
hospitalized for taking it, the study found.
That rate is more than four times higher than
the statistic for next most commonly impli-
cated drug, a blood pressure medicine. Almost
800 youngsters a year were hospitalized after
swallowing buprenorphine, the study found.
The research, published Monday in the
journal Pediatrics, covered data from 2007 to
2011. It did not include deaths, but other med-
ical journal reports have cited deaths from
such incidents.
Dr. Daniel Budnitz, the study's senior
author and director of medication safety at the
federal Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, said drug-packaging changes
since the study ended may help reduce the
risks, although more recent national data are
not available.
Our hope is that we see a decline, he said.
The results underscore why it's important to
keep medicines hidden and out of children's
reach, Budnitz said.
Buprenorphine (boo-pruh-NOR'-feen) is an
opioid up to 50 times more potent as a
painkiller than morphine. In addicts, it can
help reduce drug cravings and withdrawal
symptoms without producing a narcotic
high. In children it can cause vomiting,
sedation and dangerously slowed breathing.
The most common form of the medication
is a compound combining buprenorphine
with naloxone, a drug used as an antidote to
overdoses of heroin and other opioid drugs.
It's sold as a generic and under the brand name
Suboxone. It is available in tablets and in
individually packaged lm strips that dis-
solve under the tongue. Most hospitaliza-
tions involved tablets, Budnitz said.
He said risks for potentially life-threaten-
ing breathing problems in young children
may partly explain the high hospitalization
rate. Bottles of tablets, though child-resist-
ant, may be riskiest because children who
manage to get them open can swallow more
than one pill, he said.
Federal regulators recently approved two
companiesrequests to sell generic versions
of Suboxone as individually wrapped tablets
rather than simply putting them in a bottle.
The change may prove less risky for children,
Budnitz said.Citing concerns about risks to
children, manufacturer Reckitt Benckiser
Pharmaceuticals Inc. announced in 2012 that
it would stop marketing Suboxone tablets in
the United States. Generic tablets are still
available.
Kids poisonings linked to anti-addiction medicine
Gilead Sciences has reached a deal with
several generic drugmakers to produce a
cheaper version of its popular, $1,000-per-
pill hepatitis C drug Sovaldi for use in devel-
oping countries.
Gilead said Monday that the India-based
companies will make a generic version of
Sovaldi, also known as sofosbuvir, and
another investigational drug for distribution
in 91 countries.
Sovaldi hit the U.S. market late last year
and has been hailed as a breakthrough treat-
ment. But Gilead has taken criticism over its
cost, which can amount to $84,000 for a full
course of treatment.
Hepatitis C is a liver-destroying virus car-
ried by an estimated 3 million to 4 million
Americans. Until late last year, the standard
treatments required taking up to 12 pills a
day, alongside antiviral drug injections that
can cause u-like symptoms. That approach
cured only about 75 percent of patients.
U.S. regulators approved Sovaldi last
December, and it was quickly embraced by
physicians based on its once-a-day pill reg-
imen and increased effectiveness, curing
between 80 percent and 90 percent of
patients.
The drug is expected to generate several
billion dollars in sales this year alone for
Foster City, California-based Gilead. The
drugmaker has said that Sovaldis costs for
payers will be recouped over the long term
as fewer patients suffer liver failure and
transplant complications. It also has said it
offers nancial assistance to patients who
cannot afford the drug and related insurance
costs.

Human Services to oversee the operation.
Insurers say they continue to worry about
connections not fully straightened out
between their computer systems and the
governments .
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.
Administration spokesman Aaron
Albright says consumers will have several
ways to do that. The number will be mailed
to them by their insurer as part of their
renewal notice, they can get it from a
HealthCare.gov call center or they can
select the same plan while browsing other
options online.
Alex Stevens, a dishwasher at an Austin
pizzeria, got covered this year and said hes
planning to re-enroll. A skateboarding
enthusiast in his late 20s, Stevens broke a
leg skating with friends this summer. It was
a bad break and he had major surgery the
next day. But his insurance paid most of the
$55,000 bill, and he only owed $750.

insurance, said Stevens.

back, and the Internal Revenue Service will
reduce any tax refunds accordingly. Those
who got too small a tax credit will get a big-
ger refund.
Like most aspects of the health care law,
the issue of data discrepancies is politically
sensitive.
Supporters of the law fear that people will
lose coverage or be discouraged from
enrolling because of technicalities. Critics
say the administration has not done enough
to ensure that only those who legally quali-

WASHINGTON Just miles from where
former Guantanamo Bay terror suspects have
resettled, American warplanes take off from
Qatars al-Udeid air base in the global war on
extremism.
The contrast in images illustrates why tiny
but rich Qatar is an intriguing player in what
President Barack Obama says will be a long
battle to stop and eventually destroy the
Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria.
Qatar plays an outsize role as a U.S. mil-
itary partner. It gained public praise from
Obama for brokering the controversial deal
that freed Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl from
Taliban captivity in May in exchange for
the release of five senior Taliban officials
who had been imprisoned for years at the
U.S.-run Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba.
Qatar promised Obama it would keep the
five under watch for one year, although
they would then be free to leave. The
Obama administration also praised Qatar
for its role in securing the release of
extremist hostage Peter Theo Curtis.
But Qatar also has a reputation as a support-
er of Islamist groups in disfavor in
Washington. Some in Congress suspect Qatar
of funneling money to Islamic State mili-
tants, though the State Department says the
U.S. has no evidence of it.
Qatari ofcials in Doha had no immediate
comment for this story, but the government
has unequivocally denied that it backs the
Islamic State group. Qatari Foreign Minister
Khalid bin Mohammed al-Attiyah said last
month that his country does not support
extremist groups, including ISIS, in any
way.
Western analysts say Qatar is attempting a
sometimes awkward balancing act between
its desire for good relations with the United
States and its efforts to maintain inuence
closer to home.
Qatar is always looking for the angle, and
thats really the best way to explain it, said
Daniel Benjamin, a former State Department
counterterrorism coordinator who now directs
Dartmouths Dickey Center for International
Understanding. By having connections that
are so broad, so wide ranging, it can put itself
at the center of just about every issue.
Qatar gives a home to Khaled Mashaal,
exiled leader of Hamas, a Palestinian militant
organization considered by the U.S. to be a
terrorist group. But Qatar also has maintained
ties to Hamas enemy, Israel. And to Islamist
groups including the Muslim Brotherhood for
which other Gulf states like Saudi Arabia have
little tolerance.
This is a small and wealthy country that is
trying to maintain inuence 360 degrees,
said Michele Flournoy, a former undersecre-
tary of defense for policy and now chief exec-
utive ofcer of the Center for a New American
Security.
They are hedging their bets and trying to
make sure they have inuence no matter who
comes out on top in the multifaceted strug-
gle for power in the Middle East, she added.
Asked whether she believes Qatar has actual-
ly provided money to the Islamic State group,
she said there is at least a widespread percep-
tion that it has.
Qatar plays role in U.S. war strategy
BAGHDAD The extremist-held Iraqi city
of Mosul is set to usher in a new school year.
But unlike years past, there will be no art or
music. Classes about history, literature and
Christianity have been permanently
annulled.
The Islamic State group has declared patri-
otic songs blasphemous and ordered that cer-
tain pictures be torn out of textbooks.
But instead of compliance, Iraqs second
largest city has at least so far respond-
ed to the Sunni militants' demands with
silence. Although the extremists stipulated
that the school year would begin Sept. 9,
pupils have uniformly not shown up for
class, according to residents who spoke
anonymously because of safety concerns.
They said families were keeping their chil-
dren home out of mixed feelings of fear,
resistance and uncertainty.
Whats important to us now is that the
children continue receiving knowledge cor-
rectly, even if they lose a whole academic
year and an ofcial certication, a Mosul
resident who identied himself as Abu Hassan
told The Associated Press, giving only his
nickname for fear of reprisals. He and his wife
have opted for home schooling, picking up
the required readings at the local market.
The fall of Mosul on June 10 was a turning
point in Iraqs war against the jihadi group
that calls itself the Islamic State. The U.S.-
trained Iraqi military, harassed for months by
small-scale attacks, buckled almost instantly
when militants advanced on the city.
Commanders disappeared. Pleas for more
ammunition went unanswered. In some cases,
soldiers stripped off their uniforms and ran.
The city would come to represent the
expanding power and inuence of the extrem-
ist group, which was born in Iraq but spread
to Syria, where it grew exponentially in the
chaos of the countrys civil war. Abu Bakr al-
Baghdadi, the groups reclusive leader, made
his rst video appearance in Mosul in July to
announce his vision for a self-styled
caliphate an Islamic state of which he
would be the caliph, or leader.
Part of the Islamic State groups core strat-
egy is to establish administration over lands
that it controls to project an image of itself
as a ruler and not just a ghting force. In parts
of Syria under its control, the group now
administers courts, fixes roads and even
polices trafc. It recently imposed a curricu-
lum in schools in its Syrian stronghold,
Raqqa, scrapping subjects such as philoso-
phy and chemistry, and ne-tuning the sci-
ences to t with its ideology.
In Mosul, schools have been presented
with a new set of rules, advertised in a two-
page bulletin posted on mosques, in markets
and on electricity poles.
The new Mosul curriculum, allegedly issued
by al-Baghdadi himself, stresses that any ref-
erence to the republics of Iraq or Syria must
be replaced with Islamic State. Pictures that
violate its ultra-conservative interpretation
of Islam will be ripped out of books.
Anthems and lyrics that encourage love of
country are now viewed as a show of poly-
theism and blasphemy, and are strictly
banned.

enable the public to enjoy open space,

Councilmembers like Jerry Deal
noted that the city is going to provide
input and direction to help develop the
space.
It all depends on the project, he
said. If its a good project, well be
really happy. If its not, we wont be
happy.
The city looks forward to working
with the buyers to create a project that
will provide a benet to Burlingame
residents, said Mayor Michael
Brownrigg.
Its perhaps the most important
property in the entire downtown, he
said. Im delighted this transaction
was closed.
The city had previously been in
talks with Grosvenor, an international
property development, investment
and fund management group, to put
forward a mixed-use project using lot E
located between Lorton Avenue,
Park Road, Burlingame Avenue and
Howard Avenue and the adjacent
post ofce. Burlingame Public Works
Director Syed Murtuza previously said
the company has expressed interest in
buying the post office property as
well.
Meanwhile, the post office will
move to the long-vacant 329 Primrose
Road, just north of Burlingame
Avenue, per a letter from the city of
Burlingame dated Aug. 25. Alease was
signed for the property in late August.
Brownrigg previously noted that this
location is near to where the post
ofce used to be long ago.
We believe this new location will
provide the community with an
upgraded, modern facility that offers a
safe working environment for our
employees and the level of service
expected by our customers, a July 9
letter written to Deal stated.

to see it put to better use. One thats in
line with our organizations vision for
transit-oriented development.
The site is right next to the recently-
closed Kmart where developers are
proposing 599 residential units,
ofces, retail and park space in the
Station Park Green proposal and in the
citys transit corridor with zoning that
welcomes in-ll development.
Caltrain is interested in keeping
with San Mateos proposed transit-ori-
ented developments and would likely
consider a project such as housing
units, ofce space or commuter-serv-
ing types of businesses, Ackemann
said.
The site is a long way from construc-
tion and Caltrain is currently review-
ing the applications it received,
Ackemann said. It hopes to select a
developer and complete negotiations
by the end of the year, Ackemann said.
Once thats completed, it would go
through the city planning process.
According to Caltrains Request for
Statement of Qualications document,
there are terms by which a potential
developer would need to abide. As part
of the agreement, Caltrain will own
and operate at least 50 parking spaces
dedicated for Caltrain patrons and des-
ignate at least ve that could support
electric vehicle charging stations.
The new development would need to
provide six bus layover spaces and, to
encourage vehicle access that would
minimize conicts with bicycles and
pedestrians, a developer could consid-
er realigning Garvey Way behind the
post office or creating an alternate
vehicle access on the west side of the
platform, according to the document.
The station must also provide rest-
rooms that are accessible during all
transit service hours, which may be
shared with an adjacent restaurant or
cafe tenant, according to the docu-
ment.
Caltrain also requests space for a
minimum of 29 electronic bicycle
lockers and allocate a 500-square-foot
space for a bicycle sharing station,
according to the document.
Overall, Caltrain seeks to integrate
its new development with projects in
the surrounding area, Ackemann said.
The Hayward Park Caltrain station
parking lot is directly west of the pro-
posed Station Park Green residential
and mixed-use development and across
the street from the proposed Hines
ofce complex development.
EBL&S Development submitted a
formal application last month to rede-
velop the 12-acre Station Park Green
site on Delaware Street into 599 resi-
dential units, up to 15,000 square feet
of space, up to 30,000 square feet of
retail and restaurant space and 2 acres
of open space. The Planning
Commission held a study session on
the application Aug. 26.
The Hines Development, also
known as the 92 and Delaware Ofce,
is a proposal to turn the corner of
Concar Drive and South Delaware
Street into 276,467 square feet of
ofce space with 139,573 square feet
of surface and underground parking.
The location is the current site of
Telecenter Appliances.
According to the document, Station
Park Green, Caltrains proposed devel-
opment and the Hayward Park train sta-
tion need to be integrated and enhance
the connections through the transit-
oriented neighborhood.
Currently, fewer trains stop at the
Hayward Park station in comparison
to others such as San Mateo or the
Hillsdale stations and, in 2011 ,
Caltrain considered closing the sta-
tion because of budget cuts.
Ackemann said with electrication
in the works and new transit-oriented
developments nearby, Caltrain antici-
pates it will become one of the busier
stations.
Its a good time to move forward
with some kind of redevelopment,
Ackemann said. Its [part of
Caltrains] long-term considerations
on how we continue to grow and plan
our rail service in the area.

velopment of Caltrains Hayward Park
station parking lot, visit www.cal-

about his residence and later was sus-
pended with pay from the Senate.
Wrights was the rst of three unrelated
cases against Democratic lawmakers
who were suspended and cost the party
its supermajority in the Senate.
Wright said he listed an Inglewood
property as his residence so he could
run in 2008 to represent the 25th
Senate District, but jurors found he actu-
ally lived outside the district.
Steinberg, a Democrat from
Sacramento, had called on Wright to
resign immediately after his sentenc-
ing.
Wright was ordered to surrender to law
enforcement on Oct. 31. McKesson
said he would le an appeal.
During the sentencing in Los Angeles
last week, Superior Court Judge
Kathleen Kennedy said Wright is no

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Donald R, Sfarzo, aka Don Sfarzo
Case Number: 124833
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Donald R, Sfarzo, aka
Don Sfarzo. A Petition for Probate has
been filed by Stephanie Sfarzo and Nich-
olas Luis Sfarzo in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Con-
stance Jean Sfarzo be appointed as per-
sonal representative 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: October 06, 2014 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal au-
thority may affect your rights as a cred-
itor. You may want to consult with an at-
torney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

WORLD 28
By John Thor-Dahlburg
BRUSSELS If Scottish voters this
week say Yes to independence, not only will
they tear up the map of Great Britain,
theyll shake the twin pillars of Western
Europes postwar prosperity and security
the European Union and the U.S.-led NATO
defense alliance.
In breaking away from the rest of the
United Kingdom, Scotland would automati-
cally nd itself outside both the EU and
NATO, and have to reapply to join both,
ofcials from those Brussels-based organi-
zations have stressed.
For the EU especially, Scottish re-entry
could be a long and arduous process, with
other countries dead set against letting the
Scots retain the privileges awarded Britain:
the so-called opt-outs from being required to
use the euro single currency and to join the
multination Schengen zone where internal
border controls have been scrapped.
For NATOs admirals and generals, the cur-
rent Scottish governments insistence on a
sovereign Scotland becoming free of
nuclear weapons would pose enormous
strategic and operational headaches, even if
a transitional grace period were agreed on. A
new home port would have to be found for
the Royal Navys four Trident missile-carry-
ing submarines and their thermonuclear
warheads, currently based on the Clyde.
This risks undermining the collective
defense and deterrence of NATO allies,
Britains Ministry of Defense has said. In
what might be read as a warning to the
Scots, the ministry has said a nuclear-free
stance could constitute a signicant hur-
dle to Scotland being allowed back into
NATO.
Until Scotland rejoined the alliance, to
which its belonged with the rest of Britain
for 65 years, new arrangements would also
need to be found to patrol vital shipping
routes in the North Atlantic and North Sea.
If Scotland were to choose not to rejoin, it
would pose a conundrum for NATO for which
there is no real precedent: what to do fol-
lowing the loss of a developed, democrati-
cally governed part of alliance territory that
has opted for neutrality, said Daniel Troup,
research analyst at the NATO Council of
Canada.
Asked how NATO would react to seces-
sion, alliance secretary general Anders
Fogh Rasmussen told The Associated Press
that should the Scottish people vote in
favor of independence and should they
decide to seek membership in NATO, in that
case, such an application will be addressed
like other applications and eventually it
will need consensus, that is, unanimity
among NATO allies to accept a new member
of our alliance.
Rasmussen refused to say Monday what
the military consequences of Scotlands
independence might be for the alliance, say-
ing, Im not going to interfere with the
Scottish debate, and it is a hypothetical
question at this stage, because we dont
know the outcome of the referendum.
Emergence of a new Western European
country of 5 million inhabitants with
roughly the land area of the Czech Republic
or the U.S. state of Maine or would also set
in motion political and social forces whose
effects are impossible to predict. Because of
British voting patterns, the political
groups in England, Wales and Northern
Ireland that are seeking Britains exit from
the European Union would become propor-
tionately stronger in Parliament.

Yes supporters gather at a rally outside the BBC in Glasgow, Scotland Sept. 14, 2014. The
referendum on Scottish independence will take place Sept. 18, when Scotland will vote
whether to end the 307-year-old union with the rest of the United Kingdom.
700 feared dead in pair of
Mediterranean boat wrecks
GENEVA This year is on track to become
the deadliest ever for migrants crossing the
Mediterranean Sea after two heavily loaded
boats were wrecked in the past week, possibly
killing 700 people eeing Africa for Europe
the same number as died during all of last year.
That would raise the total number of
migrants killed on the sea in 2014 to about
2,900, according to estimates from the
International Organization for Migration and
other ofcials.
More than 20,000 people have died in the
past two decades trying to reach the Italian
coast, including 2,300 in 2011 and around 700
in 2013. The migration organization says the
steep death toll reects turmoil in Libya,
Syria, Iraq and across the Middle East and
Africa. To escape those conicts, many people
are willing to board unsafe smugglers boats.
About 500 Syrians, Palestinians, Egyptians
and Sudanese are feared dead after their boat was
rammed and sunk off the Malta coast last week,
the IOM, an inter-governmental organization
with 156 member countries, said Monday.
Another 200 are feared dead in the wreck of a
second boat that was carrying at least 250
African migrants to Europe when it capsized
off the Libyan coast.
The migrants apparently lost off Malta were
undertaking a perilous journey from the
Egyptian port of Damietta, seeking a better
life in Europe, when their boat was overtaken
by human trafckers equipped with two vessels
on Wednesday, said organization spokes-
woman Christiane Berthiaume.
