REDWOOD CITY Facebook CEO
Mark Zuckerberg wants to turn more
American high school students into
well-paid techies and even hire
some of them to work at his social-
media company.
Zuckerberg told students Thursday at
Redwood Citys Sequoia High School
that understanding technology and
computers is going to be really criti-
cal to having a lot of options and
doing what you want.
The Facebook founder said the jobs
of the future will be very different from
todays jobs and young people can
use that to their advantage.
If you start with the assumption
that everything in the future is going
to be different than it is now, then its
not true that anyone else knows any
more than you guys do about whats
going to work in the future,
Zuckerberg said.
Facebook announced it is donating
50 laptops and creating a class to teach
students how to create their own
mobile apps for smartphones at
Sequoia High, a short drive from
Facebooks Menlo Park headquarters.
Zuckerbergs appearance is part of
Facebooks campaign to encourage
more young people, especially girls,
to pursue careers in science, technolo-
gy, engineering and math so-called
STEM elds.
What were really trying to do is to
create the same types of opportunities
for the next Mark Zuckerberg, said

Jeter corn maze set to
open as his career wraps up
SOUTH BRUNSWICK, N.J. As
Derek Jeter plays his final regular-
season home stand with the Yankees,
a New Jersey farm is preparing to wel-
come guests to a 5-acre corn maze
carved in his honor.
The VonThun Farm in South
Brunswick opens its Jeter corn maze
Saturday. The farm is about 55 miles
south of Yankee Stadium.
Thanks Captain Clutch is carved
into the maze, along with a baseball
with Jeters No. 2 on it. Cindy
VonThun, whose husbands family
owns the farm, says the maze will be
open through Halloween, Oct. 31.
VonThun says the original idea was
to do a design this year with a tractor
carrying pumpkins, but The Maize
Company in Utah, which is contract-
ed by the farm to build its annual
maze, came up with the idea to honor
Jeter.
Leaking lime juice sends
responders to cargo jet
KETCHIKAN, Alaska A mysteri-
ous liquid leaking on a cargo jet sent
emergency responders to the island
that is home to the Ketchikan,
Alaska, airport.
Turns out, a bartender with a dish
towel could have handled the problem.
The Ketchikan Daily News reports
the leak Tuesday on the Alaska
Airlines 737-700 was traced to a con-
tainer of lime juice that broke open
during a flight from Seattle.
Alaska Airlines spokesman Cole
Cosgrove says workers first detected
the sour-smelling liquid coming from
a cargo container.
Airport staff took a cautious
approach and called for emergency
responders from the Ketchikan Fire
Department to take a ferry to the air-
port on Gravina Island.
The leaking lime juice was diag-
nosed as the source at 7:30 p.m.
Ketchikan cargo was unloaded, and
the jet continued to Sitka, Juneau and
Anchorage.
Florida woman flies
plane on 90th birthday
PALM COAST, Fla. A central
Florida woman celebrated her 90th
birthday by flying a four-seat
Cessna.
Billy Jones had to sit on a pillow
to see out the windshield Tuesday, but
she took off with flight instructor
Kurt Schneider by her side and landed
some 30 minutes later at Flagler
County Airport.
The Daytona Beach News-Journal
reports the flight wasnt out of the
ordinary for the 5-foot-tall Jones.
For her 80th birthday, she went sky-
diving. When she turned 85, she flew
a glider.
Jones has been taking flying les-
sons with Schneider for months just
for the fun of flying.
She has also snorkeled with seals
in the Galapagos Islands and gone on
safari in Africa. And she always takes
the stairs to her third-floor apart-
ment.
Man wanted for robbery
arrested at Frisbee tourney
EUGENE, Ore. Aman 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 office
in New York says the 32-year-old,
formerly of Woodstock, New York,
was indicted in late 2010 on charges
of robbing a Bank of America there.
Marryshow is also accused of steal-
ing a car and setting a barn on fire as
a diversion.
The U.S. Marshals Service and
local police got a tip that he was liv-
ing in Eugene. Police say Marryshow
didnt try to flee Sunday. Hes being
held in the Lane County Jail, pending
extradition.

Two armed men rob
grocery store, two employees
Police are searching for two men who
robbed a market at gunpoint and stole from
employees in South San Francisco
Wednesday night.
The two suspects entered La Hacienda
Market at 249 Hillside Blvd. around 8:15
p.m. and immediately pulled scarves over
their faces then drew semi-automatic hand-
guns, according to South San Francisco
police.
One of the men grabbed an employee and
demanded she open each of the cash regis-
ters before stealing an undisclosed amount
of money, according to police.
The second man ordered two other
employees onto the ground and stole their
personal property before both suspects
fled on foot west on Hillside Boulevard,
according to police.
The first suspect is described as a light
skinned black or Hispanic man between 20
and 30 years old. He is between 5 feet 6

weather and the overnight rain brings them
to the surface, which makes the road slick,

Obituary
STAFF AND WIRE REPORT
SAN FRANCISCO Californias largest
utility, Pacic Gas & Electric Co. may have
violated state rules by negotiating with
state regulators earlier this year to have a
judge that PG&E preferred appointed to
decide one of the utilitys rate cases, an
administrative judge with the states public
utilities commission said in a notice to
PG&E.
Hallie Yacknin, an administrative law
judge with the California Public Utilities
Commission, in an order late Wednesday
directed PG&E ofcials to appear before her
Oct. 7 to address whether the utility should
be held in contempt of commission rules
barring that kind of communication
between the utility and the commission that
regulates it.
PG&E faces unspecied nancial penal-
ties if found in contempt for the lobbying
effort, Yacknin wrote in the order, without
elaborating. Keith Stephens, a spokesman
for the utility, said Thursday that PG&E of-
cials were reviewing the judges order.
At a press conference, State Sen. Jerry
Hill, D-San Mateo, Assemblyman Kevin
Mullin, D-South San Francisco, and San
Bruno Mayor Jim Ruane will call on
California Attorney General Kamala Harris
to investigate what they call apparent vio-
lations of law with the CPUCs communica-
tion with PG&E. After the press conference,
the three will deliver the letter to the Ofce
of the Attorney General, according to Hills
ofce.
The developments are the latest in disclo-
sures that critics say show excessively
close relations between PG&E, one of the
countrys largest utilities with $814 mil-
lion in net prot last year, and government
ofcials charged with regulating it. The dis-
closures involving the California Public
Utilities Commission stem from investiga-
tions into a 2010 explosion of a PG&E gas
pipeline that killed eight people in San
Bruno. A National Transportation Safety
Board report on the blast cited allegedly lax
oversight by the public utilities commis-
sion as a factor in the 2010 disaster.
On Monday, PG&E released a new series
of emails from January in which PG&E
executives sought and obtained the
administrative law judge they wanted in an
unrelated rate case. The president of the
state utilities commission, Michael Peevey,
and another commissioner, Michael Florio,
also were included in the January email
negotiations over the judge selection, the
emails released Monday showed
The state utilities commission said in a
statement on Monday that Peeveys chief of
staff had resigned over her role in the
emails. On Thursday, however, commission
spokesman Christopher Chow said Brown
remained an employee of the commission,
and had resigned only as Peeveys chief of
staff. Chow said Thursday he could not
immediately explain why the commission
initially offered a different account of
Browns employment status.
In another development involving the
utility on Thursday, the Nuclear Regulatory
Commissions inspector general has been
notied of a claim that the agency and PG&E
improperly worked together before each
released information on the same day that
defended the seismic safety of Californias
Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant.
Environmental and anti-nuclear groups
have petitioned for the release of govern-
ment records to determine if PG&E and the
NRC had been collaborating to blunt recent
disclosures about possible earthquake risks
at the plant. The groups have provided no
evidence that such collaboration occurred.
On Sept. 10, the NRC rejected a federal
experts recommendation to shut down the
plant until the agency can determine if its
reactors can withstand powerful shaking
from nearby faults. On the same day, PG&E
released hundreds of pages of research and
said in a statement that the plant remains
seismically safe and able to withstand the
largest potential earthquakes in the area.
NRC spokeswoman Lara Uselding said in
an email that we know of no collabora-
tion between the NRC and the company in
the timing of the release of the information.
However, we take these matters seriously
and the NRC staff itself has referred the mat-
ter to the agencys inspector general, she
added.
PG&E spokesman Blair Jones said in an
email that the company did not coordinate
the timing of the announcements with the
NRC period.
We are hopeful that our release of the
report will lead to constructive not
destructive dialogue on this important
topic, the spokesman said.
Michael Peck, who for ve years was
Diablo Canyons lead NRC inspector, said
in a condential report disclosed by The
Associated Press last month that no one
knows whether the plants equipment can
withstand strong shaking from nearby
faults the potential for which was real-
ized decades after the facility was built.
Judge: PG&E emails may have violated rules
We are hopeful that our release of the report will lead to
constructive not destructive dialogue on this important topic.

Brown vetoes bills requiring professional training
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown has vetoed two bills
that would require extra training for coroners and mental
health professionals.
The Democratic governor announced Thursday that he
rejected AB2029 by Assemblyman Ken Cooley, which was
intended to help parents investigate their children's death.
The bill by the Rancho Cordova Democrat would have
required coroners to urge parents and guardians whose child
dies from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome to take tissue sam-
ples.
Brown said it would be better to rely on coroners to use
their best professional judgment.
The governor also vetoed AB2198 by Democratic
Assemblyman Marc Levine of San Rafael. The bill sought
to require suicide prevention training for psychologists and
counselors by requiring them to complete additional course-
work.
Brown says he will ask the relevant licensing boards to
evaluate the issue.
Cities get more authority over massage parlors
SACRAMENTO Local governments will get more
authority to regulate massage businesses under a bill signed
into law by Gov. Jerry Brown.
Brown announced signing AB1147 on Thursday. The
measure lets local governments revoke the license of any
massage parlor that violates the law.
It also requires that people seeking to become certied
massage practitioners take 500 hours of training and pass a
test and background investigation.
The bill, sponsored by three Democrats, also changes the
composition of the 19-member California Massage
Therapy Council. It will have 13 members, including six
representing local governments, schools, law enforcement
and health ofcials. A seventh member will represent an
anti-human trafcking organization.
Supporters said AB1147 will make it harder for massage
parlors to operate as fronts for prostitution. The new law
takes effect in January.
HOAs barred from requiring luscious landscaping
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown has signed legisla-
tion to prohibit homeowners associations from banning
drought-resistant landscaping to save water.
Brown's ofce said Thursday that he signed AB2104 by
Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, a San Diego Democrat.
Gonzalez said homeowners associations were using legal
loopholes to force members to maintain their lawns and
landscaping even during the worst drought in a generation.
Some homeowners even faced nes for trying to save water
with drought-resistant plants.
The new law prevents associations, apartment complexes
and housing cooperatives from banning water-saving
plants or preventing residents from following local water
conservation rules.

Water Act.
Since at least the early 1990s, Sims
operated a conveyor belt without ade-
quate pollution controls to prevent
materials from falling off the conveyor
and into the Bay, according to the
agency.
Sims processes and exports scrap
metals from recycled vehicles and other
equipment to overseas out of its Port of
Redwood City facility.
In 2011, EPAordered Sims to clean up
the shoreline, enclose its conveyor and
make other xes to prevent future dis-
charges to the Bay, which the EPAdis-
covered during a 2011 inspection. In
addition to paying a ne for those vio-
lations, Thursdays settlement requires
Sims to investigate and clean up its pol-
lution in the Bay, which will likely cost
the company several hundred thousand
dollars. Sims will conduct a sediment
study to determine the extent of contam-
ination in the Bay. If the study shows
that its ship-loading operations pollut-
ed the Bay, Sims will have to clean up
the contamination, according to the
agency.
The proposed settlement is subject to
a 30-day public comment period and
nal court approval.
Sims has been in the news before
because of res at plants in Redwood
City and Hayward. Sims Metal
Management came under scrutiny after
two res broke out in two months at its
Redwood City metal recycling plant last
year. The company agreed to implement
new re prevention policies following
the blazes. One of those res was deter-
mined to be arson, according to
Redwood City re and police ofcials.

PLACERVILLE A man with a
lengthy criminal history has been
charged with deliberately starting a
Northern California wildre that has
shown explosive growth and driven
nearly 2,800 people from their homes,
authorities said Thursday.
Wayne Allen Huntsman, 37, was
arrested late Wednesday in Placerville
and booked into El Dorado County
Jail, where he was being held on $10
million bail.
Huntsman faces a forest-land arson
charge, along with a special allegation
of arson with aggravating factors
because the blaze east of Sacramento
put a dozen reghters in serious dan-
ger, forcing them to deploy their re
shields. They all escaped unharmed.
The wind-whipped fire burned
through 111 square miles and was 5
percent contained, according to
California Department of Forestry and
Fire Protection. It closed part of a
highway that runs to the Nevada state
line near Lake Tahoe.
District Attorney Vern Pierson
declined to say what led investigators
to Huntsman, who was scheduled to be
arraigned Friday. He also would not
comment on a possible motive, say-
ing the case was ongoing.
Investigators were in contact with
Hunstman before his arrest.
Its something thats evolving at
this point, Pierson said of the inves-
tigation. He did not know whether
Huntsman had an attorney.
Huntsmans sister, Tami Criswell,
said she doubts her brother started the
re, but if he did, it wasnt on purpose.
Criswell said she and her brother were
raised in Santa Cruz and often camped.
She said her brother, who has worked
in construction and private security,
loves being in the forest and always
was cautious with campres.
Hes a really good guy, Criswell
said. He would never do anything
intentionally to hurt anybody.
Yet, Santa Cruz authorities have a
$5,000 warrant out for Huntsman
stemming from a Feb. 27, 2013, arrest
for resisting or obstructing a public
ofcer. Ofcials said he has failed to
show up for several court dates.
His arrest record in Santa Cruz dates
back to 1996, according to court
records. That year he was convicted of
tampering with a vehicle, auto theft,
driving under the inuence, grand theft
and assault with a deadly weapon,
which resulted in a three-year sen-
tence. He was sent to San Quentin State
Prison.
In 2003, he was convicted in Plumas
County of receiving stolen property,
the new complaint says.

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
The owners of a Redwood City
gas station and auto service center
were ordered Tuesday to pay
$300,000 in civil penalties in a
case over leaks in underground
tanks, San Mateo County prosecu-
tors said.
The leaks were discovered in
1992 when three underground
tanks capable of holding 5,000,
7,500 and 10,000 gallons of fuel
were removed from the property at
590 Canyon Road, according to
the District Attorneys Ofce.
County Environmental Health
Services staff saw holes in two of
the tanks and fuel oating in the
groundwater that accumulated in
the holes left by the excavation,
prosecutors said.
The propertys owners tested the
groundwater and found gasoline
and ether, prosecutors said.
Environmental services staff
instructed the owners to mitigate
the contamination, but San Mateo
County prosecutors led a civil
complaint in 2013 alleging that
the property owners had not com-
pleted an appropriate survey, had
not taken the necessary corrective
actions, had not informed envi-
ronmental services of ongoing
groundwater monitoring and had
not submitted a work plan.
The owners are now in compli-
ance and testing just prior to
Tuesdays judgment showed that
there is no threat to human health
or the environment, according to
the District Attorneys Ofce.
The 590 Canyon Road property
houses both the Oak Knoll Service
Station and Canyon Gas and
Propane. It has been owned since
1981 by Akbar Nazemian, Abbas
Ali Nazemi, Mohammed Hossein
Nazemi, Golnaz Agah Nazemi, Ali
Asghar Nazemian and Shiran Agah
Nazemian.

SACRAMENTO The
California Republican Party is

diverse, youthful sets of candi-
dates in years for this Novembers
election. The question heading
into this weekends state party
convention is whether it will mat-
ter in an overwhelmingly

Republicans face enormous dis-
advantages in fundraising, demo-
graphics, voter registration and
political organization. In the race
at the top of the ticket,
Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown is
seen as having a virtual lock on

WASHINGTON California
Sen. Barbara Boxer indicated
Thursday that she will announce
early next year whether she will

SAN DIEGO Responding to
federal pressure, the University of
California is planning a system-
wide effort to address college sexual
assaults that would require educat-
ing all students, staff and faculty
about the problem, supporting vic-
tims and properly training investi-
gators.
The plan drawn up by a UC task
force and released Wednesday also
calls for system-wide standards by
July 2015 for its 10 campuses in
investigating and adjudicating sex-
ual assault allegations.
The initiative follows the Obama
administrations call for colleges
and universities nationwide to bet-
ter address the problem. The federal
Department of Education also made
public the names of schools it was
investigating for the handling of
sexual assault complaints.
Ofcials at UC Berkeley, one of
the schools under investigation,
welcomed the plan and said they
already have implemented many of
the measures, including mandatory
sexual violence training for its
incoming students.
The school was cited last year in a
state audit for not doing enough to
ensure attendance at the sessions
and for not adequately training resi-
dent advisers, athletic coaches and
even campus law enforcement on
how to handle allegations.
Based on the schools data, only
52 percent of the incoming class
attended the sessions in 2013. This
year, ofcials said 500 students
have skipped the training.
UC Berkeley spokeswoman
Claire Holmes said Thursday that
the school was notifying the 500
students via email that they will be
blocked from registering for spring
classes if they do not fulll the
requirement by Oct. 1. Ofcials did
not know why the students had not
done so during campus orientation.
So far this year, 6,500 students
have participated in the program
known as Bear Pact, about sexual
assault, harassment and stalking,
Holmes said.
The school also is nishing the
hiring process for a condential
advocate whose role is to assist vic-
tims. The UC plan recommends
each of its 10 campuses hire such an
advocate.
We seek to establish a culture of
trust and safety across the entire
university community, UC
President Janet Napolitano said.
Napolitano also supported
recently approved legislation that
would make California the rst
state to dene what constitutes con-
sent in college sexual assault
investigations to determine
whether accusers made an unam-
biguous, conscious decision to
have sex.

Volatile apartment
sector reduces home
building in the U.S.
By Josh Boak
WASHINGTON U.S. home
construction plunged in August,
led by steep decline in the volatile
apartment category. But single-
family house construction, a larg-
er and more stable portion of the
market, fell only modestly.
Construction fell 14.4 percent
in August to a seasonally adjusted
annual rate of 956,000 homes, the
Commerce Department said
Thursday. This reverses the sharp
gains in July when the rate of new
construction rose to 1.12 million
homes, the highest annual rate
since 2007.
Last months decrease primarily
came from builders starting fewer
apartment complexes, which
plummeted 31.5 percent compared
to July. Apartments have pro-
pelled much of the growth in resi-
dential construction over the past
year, but the pace has been
volatile from month to month.
Apartment starts surged 51 per-
cent in July.
In August, the building of sin-
gle-family houses fell 2.4 per-
cent.
Applications for building per-
mits, a sign of future activity,
dipped 5.6 percent to an annual
rate of 998,000.
Apartment construction has
surged 19.2 percent in the past 12
months. Meanwhile, single-fami-
ly starts have risen just 4.2 per-
cent. The shift among builders to
increased apartment building is a
sign that a rising share of
Americans will be renters, rather
than homeowners.
Jed Kolko, chief economist at
the real estate rm Trulia, said that
builders are already constructing
too many single-family houses.
The vacancy rate for these homes
was 10.7 percent in 2013, com-
pared to 7.4 percent in 2000,
according to the Census.
Were still building single fam-
ily homes faster than we can l l
them, said Kolko, saying that
builders will need to place a
greater emphasis on apartments.
Changes in starts for multi-unit
homes such as apartments inu-
ence the monthly construction
totals, but the category accounted
for just 32 percent of starts in
August. Thats up slightly from 29
percent in August 2013.
The growing preference for
rentals likely reflects the slug-
gish, ve-year economic recov-
ery. Most incomes remain below
their pre-recession levels, making
it harder for families to save for a
down payment and qualify for a
mortgage. The Census Bureau said
this week that median household
incomes were $51,939 in 2013.
Adjusting for ination, thats 8
percent lower than in 2007, when
the recession began.

MIAMI Groups that provide
refugee services across the United
States expressed relief Thursday
after the federal government
announced the release of $71.5
million it had reprogrammed in
June to deal with the thousands of
unaccompanied minors who
crossed the border this year.
The Department of Health and
Human Services told the states on
Thursday that the money would be
released because the flow of
migrants had fallen.
Health and Human Services
Spokesman Kenneth Wolfe said
the funds were released on Sept.
15, adding there were no immedi-
ate plans to withhold funds in
2015. Originally HHS had said in
June that more than $90 million
would be withheld as the agency
dealt with a crisis involving
minors streaming over the border
from Mexico. Unaccompanied
children who migrate to the
United States also fall under the
auspices of the federal refugee
ofce.
That number was slightly
reduced later to $71.5 million, but
groups across the country still
scrambled to scale back programs
such as English language classes,
job counseling and tutoring.
Todays announcement ensures
refugees who live in Florida will
get the services they need to
become self-sufcient and thrive
in their new communities, said
Hiram Ruiz, who heads up
Floridas refugee services.

WASHINGTON In the heat of
an election campaign, Congress
cleared the way for the U.S. mili-
tary to train and equip Syrian rebels
for a war against Islamic State mil-
itants Thursday night, reluctant rat-
ication of a new strategy that
President Barack Obama outlined
scarcely a week ago.
The 78-22 Senate vote sent
Obama legislation that also pro-
vides funding for the government
after the end of the budget year on
Sept. 30, eliminating any threat of
a shutdown. The House approved
the bill on Wednesday.
In an appearance at the White
House soon after the vote, Obama
said he was pleased that a majority
of both Republicans and Democrats
had supported the legislation. I
believe were strongest as a nation
when the president and Congress
work together, he said. Noting the
killing of two Americans by the
Islamic State group, he said that as
Americans we do not give in to
fear and would not be put off by
such brutal tactics.
In the Senate, 44 Democrats, 33
Republicans and one independent
voted for the bill, while nine
Democrats, 12 Republicans and
one independent opposed it.
The issue created new fault lines
for this falls elections for control
of the Senate as well as the 2016
race for the White House.
Intervention that destabilizes
the Middle East is a mistake. And
yet, here we are again, wading into
a civil war, said Sen. Rand Paul, R-
Ky. laying down a marker for
Republican presidential primaries
still more than a year distant.
Sen. Mark Begich, in a difcult
re-election campaign, said, I dis-
agree with my president on the
wisdom of having the U.S. military
become involved. It is time for the
Arab countries to step up and get
over their regional differences and
be more aggressive in the ght
against terrorists, the Alaska
Democrat said, drawing a quick
rebuttal from Republican rival Dan
Sullivan.
Strong Senate vote for
Obama on Syria rebel aid
By Julie pace

WASHINGTON In a show of
solidarity with Ukraine, President
Barack Obama welcomed the new
leader of the embattled former
Soviet republic to the White
House Thursday, but he stopped
short of fulfilling his visitors
urgent request for lethal aid to ght
Russian-backed separatists.
Earlier, Ukrainian President
Petro Poroshenko renewed his call
for American weaponry during an
emotional address to a joint meet-
ing of Congress, where his
remarks were repeatedly interrupt-
ed by applause from lawmakers in
both parties. While he expressed
appreciation for the non-lethal
assistance from the U.S.,
Poroshenko said it was not
enough to quell the violence that
has dogged eastern Ukraine.
Blankets and night vision gog-
gles are important, but one cannot
win a war with a blanket,
Poroshenko said before heading to
the White House for his meeting
with Obama.
The White House did announce a
new $46 million security package
for Ukraines military that
includes counter-mortar radar to
detect incoming artillery re. The
U.S. will also provide vehicles
and patrol boats, body armor and
heavy engineering equipment,
while also giving $7 million to
humanitarian organizations to
assist people affected by the vio-
lence.
Following his meeting with
Obama, Poroshenko was more
reserved in discussing his desire
for lethal American military assis-
tance. Asked by reporters whether
he was disappointed to be leaving
Washington without that commit-
ment, Poroshenko said, I am sat-
ised with the level of our cooper-
ation with the United States of
America in the defense and securi-
ty sector. I cannot say more, but I
am satised.

OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
The Wall Street Journal
A
unanimous Supreme Court this
year rejected President Obamas
three non-recess recess appoint-
ments to the National Labor Relations
Board as an abuse of executive authority,
but hey, no worries. One of those illegal
appointees is now getting her second
chance to be conrmed by the Senate.
In January 2012 Mr. Obama recess
appointed Sharon Block, a then-Deputy
Assistant Secretary at the Labor
Department and former aide to the late
Senator Ted Kennedy, to the NLRB along
with labor stalwart Richard Grifn and
Terence Flynn. Mr. Grifn and Ms. Block
left the NLRB in 2013 as part of a Senate
deal to avert a showdown over the l i-
buster.
Republicans agreed to conrm Mr.
Obamas nominees on condition they not
include Ms. Block and Mr. Grifn. Afew
days later Democrats turned around and pro-
moted Mr. Grifn to be NLRB general coun-
sel. Now the libuster is gone and Mr.
Obama has renominated Ms. Block to the
board in clear violation of the spirit of the
2012 bipartisan deal.
At a recent Senate hearing Ms. Block was
asked why she remained on the board even
after a federal appeals court invalidated the
recess appointments as unconstitutional.
I made a commitment to serve, and I took
that commitment very seriously, Ms.
Block told the committee. Ms. Blocks
oath of ofce begins with a pledge to
uphold and defend the Constitution, but we
digress.
All of this matters because Ms. Blocks
reappointment means the reconstituted
NLRB will be able to rubber stamp many
rulings rst issued when the board was act-
ing without a legal quorum. Hundreds of rul-
ings from that era were invalidated when
the Supreme Court judged the appointments
unconstitutional in NLRB v. Noel
Canning. Reasonable people will wonder
how they can expect a fair rehearing before
a board member who already ruled against
them.
At the recent hearing Ms. Block said she
would consider requests that she recuse her-
self from individual cases, but we wont be
betting on it. During her time on the board
Ms. Block has amassed a briefcase of deci-
sions in favor of expanding the NLRB's
authority to assist labor unions.
She favored the board's Notice Posting
rule which was later invalidated by the D.C.
Circuit Court of Appeals. She also voted in
favor of a decision allowing a union to
charge a non-member for union lobbying
related to collective bargaining, in contra-
diction of the Supreme Courts 1988 Beck
decision.
Now she will be back, rewarmed with a
partisan Senate vote, but still guaranteed to
vote for union interests regardless of the
facts or legal precedent.
Disappointment with
Daily Journal endorsement
Editor,
I was disappointed with the Daily
Journal not including Rosa Acosta in
their endorsements for the South San
Francisco Unified School District Board
of Trustees (Baker, Lucy, Murray for
South City school board in the Sept. 17
edition). I think that decision was short-
sighted and doesnt reflect a true under-
standing of what our community needs.
South San Francisco, according to the
latest census, has a population of 34 per-
cent with Hispanic or Latino origin. In
the more than 100 years of our school
district, there has not been any Latino
representation on our school board.
There are as many opinions as to why
that has been, but the fact remains that
this under-representation is not healthy
for our community.
New immigrant families living in
South City are trying to do the same as
our own mothers, fathers, grandmothers
and grandfathers; work hard, provide a
better life for their children and trust our
public education system to help. We
should be proud that recent immigrants
choose our community to live in. We
should do everything we can to help
every child succeed. One of our duties as
compassionate and just members of our
community is to provide fair and equal
representation on the school board for
which all of South Citys parents and
children depend on.
This election is more than a simple
school board election. This election is a
statement about who we are as a commu-
ni t y. We have a moral obligation to pro-
vide a voice to the voiceless.

Concerned citizen
Editor,
How do the Peninsula mayors and coun-
cilmembers respond to emails and letters
that are sent by concerned citizens? Wel l ,
in Millbrae, I have yet to receive a
response from the email and hard copy
with photos I hand-delivered two months
ago. This was in regards to the pollution
issues in Millbrae.
One of the top 10 qualities that make a
good leader is communication; a bad
leader does not pay attention to the con-
sumer. Having said that, the article on
cigarette butts that appeared in The Daily
Journal on Monday, Sept. 15 is excellent
(Cities in running for anti-butt cam-
paign: Environmental group Save the
Bay puts cigarette litter in focus). I will
bet I can pick up ten to 16 butts in front
of the restaurants and some stores on El
Camino and Broadway. The butts have
not gone away and Millbrae remains dirty
I hate to say this but it is true. I also
love the No Smoking sign in the hair
salon on Broadway. Check it out.
Finally, do not forget the important elec-
tions next year!

Complaints about
North Central San Mateo
Editor,
If Dorothy Dimitres main complaint
about Millbrae is the view she should see
the view the home owners have in North
Central (City pride column in the Sept.
17 edition of the Daily Journal). I have
lived in North Central since 1963. I have
seen a big change in the last 10 years that
has changed our neighborhood from a
nice family community to an overcrowded
and unmanageable town.
Our City Hall does not enforce any
codes. We have no parking spaces because
this city has allowed business trucks to
park on residential streets. If you look
out your window, you will only see dump
trucks.
If you walk into town you will see
trash, dirty mattresses and rental homes
that landlords do not keep clean. You will
also see wooden food carts that this city
has allowed on our streets even though
they do not meet environmental health
conditions. How can this be a quality of
life for any community?
I understand everyone has to make a liv-
ing, but have these food carts do their
business at city parks not in our residen-
tial streets. I blame the members of the
City Council for knowing what our issues
are but are to busy planning for more
housing. Im sure if these councilmem-
bers lived in North Central we wouldnt
be facing these problems.

Thanks for nothing
Y
ou always want what you dont
have, I said. Aco-worker with
stick-straight locks was comparing
hair with my just-enough-wave-to-frizz self.
The old-fashioned adage seemed appropri-
ate.
Then the copy desk chimed in.
Chlamydia, he said. Never had that and
dont want it.
Point taken.
Sometimes
the grass isnt
greener on the
other side. Yet
we spend so
much time
lamenting what
we dont have.
I wish I had
this. I wish I
was that.
Perhaps it is
time then to
give a little thanks for the things were
more than happy not to touch with a 10-
foot pole.
Lets get the biggies out of the way.
Nobody wants to be a captured journalist
right now and living anywhere near the
Ebola virus is unlikely to be on anybodys
bucket list. Celebrity often generates some
jealousy but not so much now in the wake of
the cloud hacking brouhaha. Two legs, two
eyes, 10 ngers and toes, the ability to
function that all goes without saying.
But beyond that, there are other reasons to
give a sigh of relief. For example, Im
grateful not to be a Hello Kitty fan because
if I were a devotee to the Sanrio empire Id
certainly have lost my cool over recent
news that the character is in fact not a cat.
Shes a girl. Ahuman girls body with a head
that looks earlier like a cat? Oh, thats so
much better. Maybe for socialite-turned-
plastic-surgery-poster-child Jocelyn
Wildenstein.
For that matter, two shouts for not being
the so-called cat woman or anyone similar
devoted to resculpting what the gene pool
lottery delivered. My face may not launch a
thousand ships but at least it moves.
Also glad not to be a football fan. Sure,
my San Francisco Giants remain committed
to delivering a torturous end to this season
but at least it has no Ray Rice and Ray
McDonald or even Levis Stadium equiva-
lents to steal the spotlight from the actual
sport. Maybe I should just be thrilled not to
be named Ray.
More than happy not to be a cabbie either
these days. Not only do the taxi drivers nd
themselves ghting with Lyft and Uber for
customers, down in San Diego inspectors at
the airport can send them home if they fail a
smell test. While Id like to think even after
the warmest of days Id still exude roses and
vanilla, not sure I want an outsider sticking
their nose into my odorous business. On the
ip side, thankfully Im not charged with
determining just who is falling short in the
hygiene department.
I was about to add gratitude for not living
in Florida but on second thought, the states
abundance of oddballs and absurdities would
be pretty good for journalist job security.
Scratch that from the list.
Instead, Ill nd solace in not being a
smoker. Its not that I begrudge them their
nicotine and as the child of chronic
smokers, I have no sense of judgment but
it just seems like a pain nding a place
where one is either legally allowed a few
puffs or at least not visibly treated like a
pariah. As someone who feels bag shame
every time I forget my reusable sacks I can
only imagine how annoying it must be for
those who light up.
The point is, we all fantasize about how
everybody else in the world has it so much
better but there are plenty of reasons to say
cant complain and actually mean it. The
thing thats green isnt really the grass. Its
just good old-fashioned envy.

Big movers

NEW YORK More encouraging
economic news and friendly signals
from the Federal Reserve cheered
investors on Thursday, as the stock
market climbed to another record high.
The gains came a day after the Fed
made clear that its in no hurry to raise
a key bank lending rate, easing a major
concern for the stock market.
Eight of 10 industry groups in the
Standard & Poors 500 index rose, led
by nancial stocks.
The question isnt Why are we up
today? said Dan Veru, chief invest-
ment officer at Palisade Capital
Partners in New York. Its Why arent
we up a lot more? What youre seeing
is the U.S. economy growing at a mod-
est pace, not too hot and not too cold.
Veru said its an environment that
allows the Fed to stick to a policy that
coaxes businesses to borrow and spend
and could fuel further gains for stocks.
Two of three major U.S. indexes n-
ished at all-time highs: The S&P 500
index gained 9.79 points, or 0.5 per-
cent, to 2,011.36, while the Dow
surged 109.14 points, or 0.6 percent,
to 17,265.99. It was the second
straight day the blue-chip index has
closed at a record.
The Nasdaq composite, meanwhile
climbed 31.24 points, or 0.7 percent,
to 4,593.43, well below its dot-com
era peak.
The S&P Financials sector rose 1.1
percent. Bank profits could rise if
short-term rates stay low while the
rates they charge on longer-term loans
creep higher.
The day began with good news about
the economy. Fewer Americans led
first-time claims for unemployment
benets last week, according to the
Labor Department. Weekly applica-
tions fell to 280,000, well below
economists forecasts. The four-week
average, a less-volatile measure, also
dropped.
Major markets in Europe headed
higher as voters in Scotland decided
whether to break from the United
Kingdom. Germanys DAX advanced
1.4 percent, and Frances CAC 40
gained 0.8 percent. Britains FTSE
100 added 0.6 percent.
Scotland opened polling stations on
Thursday for a referendum on whether
the country should leave the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern
Ireland to become an independent
state. Opinion polls have suggested
the Yes campaign favoring inde-
pendence is neck and neck with the
No campaign that wants Scotland to
stay in the U.K.
A yes vote is likely to weigh
heavily on the sterling and equities,
said IG strategist Stan Shamu in a com-
mentary. Ano vote should result in a
relief rally and is likely to be positive
for the sterling and equities.
The pound was trading at a two-year
high against the euro at 1.27, and
holding steady against the dollar at
$1. 64.
On Wednesday in the U.S., the Fed
maintained its stance of keeping
short-term interest rates near zero for a
considerable time. Investors had
speculated that the Fed might hint at an
earlier start for rate hikes.
Among companies making big
moves on Thursday, Rite Aid plunged
19 percent after it cut its prot fore-
casts for the full year, laying part of
the blame on higher costs for generic
drugs. The drugstore chain still
expects sales of $26 billion this year.
Rite Aids stock fell $1.23 to $5.41.
ConAgra said its quarterly prot s
nearly tripled, sending its stock up
$1.47, or 5 percent, to $33.48. Sales
for the company behind Chef Boyardee
canned pasta and Hebrew National hot
dogs were at, but other costs fell.
Alibaba Group is expected to wrap up
its mammoth initial public offering
later Thursday, then make its debut on
the New York Stock Exchange on
Friday under the symbol BABA. The
Chinese e-commerce company could
raise as much as $21.8 billion from
institutional investors, making it the
largest IPO on record in the U.S.
Good news on economy pushes stocks to record highs
By Mae Anderson
NEWYORK Alibaba, the Chinese
e-commerce powerhouse named after a
fabled, poor woodsman who discovers
a thieves den full of treasures, is ready
to strike it rich on the New York Stock
Exchange.
The company priced its initial public
offering of stock at $68 per share on
Thursday, the top end of the expected
price range, according to Alibaba. The
stock is expected to start trading Friday
under the ticker BABA on the NYSE.
The IPO values Alibaba at $167.62 bil-
lion. Thats bigger than the current mar-
ket value of Amazon, Cisco, and eBay.
The company has enjoyed a surge in
U.S. popularity over the past two weeks
as investors met with executives,
including its colorful founder Jack Ma.
As part of the so-called roadshow,
would-be investors heard a sales pitch
that centered on Alibabas strong rev-
enue growth and seemingly endless
possibilities for expansion. Demand
has been so high that the company
raised its expected offering price to $66
to $68 per share from $60 to $66 per
share on Monday, setting the stage for
what is expected to be the biggest ever
IPO.

Average U.S. 30-year mortgage rate at 4.23 pct
WASHINGTON Average long-term U.S. mortgage
rates surged this week, marking their largest one-week
gain this year.
Mortgage company Freddie Mac said Thursday the
nationwide average for a 30-year loan jumped to 4.23 per-
cent from 4.12 percent last week. The average for a 15-
year mortgage, a popular choice for people who are re-
nancing, rose to 3.37 percent from 3.26 percent.
At 4.23 percent, the rate on a 30-year mortgage is at its
highest level since the week ended May 1, though it is
still at a historically low level.
Home Depot breach affected
56 million debit and credit cards
NEW YORK Home Depot said Thursday that a data
breach that lasted for months at its stores in the U.S. and
Canada affected 56 million debit and credit cards, far more
than a pre-Christmas 2013 attack on Target customers.
The size of the theft at Home Depot trails only that of
the heist of data from 90 million TJX Cos. customers,
which was disclosed in 2007. Targets breach compro-
mised 40 million credit and debit cards.

OAKLAND The Oakland Athletics are
stunned by their September collapse, yet
stuck to nd a solution.
And with the way things are going, manag-
er Bob Melvin cant talk about playoffs, let
alone plan for them.
Sonny Gray and the As kept tumbling
Thursday, falling out of the top AL wild-card
spot with a 7-2 loss to Texas that gave the
Rangers a three-game sweep.
Its not very fun. When youre in a race, its
supposed to be fun, left elder Brandon Moss
said. But I dont see anyone in this clubhouse
having any fun, because its not. Were pretty
frustrated. Were disappointed. But its not
over, and we know that.
The latest loss to the team with the worst
record in the majors dropped the As a half-
game behind idle Kansas City for the rst
wild-spot slot. Oakland owned the best record
in the big leagues as recently as Aug. 15.
Were still in the wild card. All thats moot
unless we start to play better. Well nd our-
selves in no position if we continue to lose,
Melvin said. Youve got to ght being beat
down based on what has transpired here
recently. ... Its tough sometimes to get over
these things. Theyre all accountable for what
they do. We all are.
Texas roughed up Gray (13-9) for four runs
in the rst inning and won its season-best
sixth in a row. Oakland has lost six of eight.
Gray saw his winless stretch reach ve
starts. The right-hander in his rst full major
league season has only one victory in 10
starts since his 5-0 July that earned him AL
pitcher of the month honors.
Its these games we need to win and I think
everyone knows that. Its tough to play away
the last three days, Gray said. Unfortunately
for us, I dug us in a hole a little bit too deep. If
you give up four in the rst, nine times out of
10 youre not going to overcome that. Its
probably easier said than done, but we honest-
ly have got to put this behind us.
Nick Martinez (4-11) allowed two runs and
three hits in 5 2-3 innings.
Leonys Martin hit an RBI double and the
Rangers came out swinging for 15 total hits.

Woodside quarterback Robert Wang,who threw for more than 1,700 yards last season,opened
2014 with a 217-yard performance in a loss to Dublin two weeks ago. He threw for 283 yards
and a touchdown in the Wildcats 44-26 loss to Sequoia in 2013.

The spotlight will be on the Woodside
football field Friday night when the
Wildcats host cross-town rival Sequoia in a
battle of bragging rights for Redwood City.
To Sequoia, however, its just another edi-
tion of Friday Night Lights.
The Cherokees have been the center of
attention the rst two weeks of the season
hosting perennial Central Coast Section
power Palo Alto in Week 1 and then travel-
ing to take on San Diego power Valley
Center last week.
The Cherokees are 1-1, losing to Palo
Alto on a last-second eld goal, 30-28,
before beating Valley Center 40-34 in over-
time.
This is an important game, but the spot-
light is not any brighter, said Sequoia
coach Rob Poulos. I think these (rst) two
games have prepped us for [Woodside
Friday].
While Sequoia has been involved in two
game decided by eight points, Woodside is
coming off a disappointing 42-28 loss to
Dublin in Week 1.
They Wildcats then had a week to mull that
over as they went on a bye week.
We are excited to get back out there, said
Justin Andrews, Woodsides rst-year varsi-
ty coach. This game, you have to always
been concerned with (getting too emotion-
al). We talked to them about playing within
themselves. We cant let [the magnitude of
the game] change who we are and what we do
on the eld.
This game is always one of the most phys-
ical of the year, but that is pretty much
where the similarities stop. Offensively,
Sequoia likes to pound the ball on the
ground, while Woodside has the pieces to
produce a more balanced attack.

Coming off a 2013 Northern California
championship, Menlo School girls vol-
leyball has some big shoes to ll with
three of their starters graduating to
Division I programs.
Menlo had an impressive trio ready step
in until junior outside hitter Maddie Stewart
was lost to injury for the season. Still, the
sophomore duo of middle blocker Payton
Mack and libero Jessica Houghton look
poised to perform to the exceptional level
synonymous with Menlo volleyball.
With the Knights (3-5) downing visiting
Aragon (6-2) in straight sets Thursday
night, Mack and Houghton each had high-
light performances. Meanwhile, outside
hitter Lida Vandermeer and Elisa Merten
made their senior presence known
Vandermeer had a match-high 12 kilss and
Merten provided 25 assists as Menlo
cruised to a 25-18, 25-17, 25-15 victory.
I think we played our best match of the
year by far, Menlo head coach Steve
Cavella said. Our serve receive was a lot
better. Our setting, our defense, our serving,
our blocking we improved. Ive been
seeing a lot of progress in all areas, so Im
pretty happy about that.
Nonleague play has been a scufe for the
Knights, as they lost three games in a row
heading into play Thursday. With early
front-row defense from Mack at the middle
block, Menlo set the tone for the match.
Mack went on to record eight match kills
while proving consistent with no errors and
a .800 hitting percentage.
By the midway mark of Game 2, Mack and
Merten were working as a clockwork tan-
dem. Merten set back-to-back kills for her
5-foot-11 junior counterpart to run Menlos
lead to 22-15. Then Merten continued a
dominant performance from the service line

The State College Spikes are New York-
Penn League champions.
The St. Louis Cardinals Short-Season
afliate, featuring former Menlo School and
Stanford standout Danny Diekroeger, cap-
tured the title Sept. 9 with an 11-2 win over
Tri-City.
The Spikes totaled just seven runs on 23
hits through ve previous playoff games,
but manufactured enough offense in support
of its outstanding pitching to advance to the
nal game of the best-of-
three championship
series. State Colleges
bats nally broke out in
the nale with a six-run
rst inning en route to a
15-hit rout to claim the
crown.
It was weird because
we were the best hitting
team in our league statis-
tically, but in the play-
offs we just couldnt really hit,
Diekroeger said. But neither could the
teams we played. It was a lot of pitching and
defense battles throughout the playoffs.
Diekroeger was just 5 for 24 at the plate
throughout six postseason games, but the
sweet-swinging lefty made every hit count.
His lone hit in the seminal series against
Hudson Valley helped spark a game-winning
rally in the Spikes nal at-bat of Game 3.
After splitting the rst two games of the
seminal round, State College went into the
eighth inning of nal game, to decide thor-
oughfare into the championship round,
trailing 1-0. But with one on and no outs,
Diekroeger tabbed an ineld single to repre-
sent the go-ahead run. The Spikes took the
lead on the ensuing at-bat when Robelys
Reyes grounded out to drive home Nick
Thompson in an eventual 2-1 win.
In the championship series, State College
Diekroeger is a
champ in his first

SANTA CLARA Derek Carriers deci-
sions to attend a small liberal arts college in
Wisconsin and drop basketball for football
paid off when he earned a spot on the San
Francisco 49ers this season after spending
most of the last two years on NFL practice
squads.
Now he could get the biggest chance of his
career.
With leading tight ends Vernon Davis and
Vance McDonald nursing injuries, Carrier is
expected to play a heavy dose of snaps when
the 49ers (1-1) visit the Arizona Cardinals (2-
0) on Sunday. Carrier caught his rst three
passes for 41 yards in San Franciscos 28-20
loss to the Chicago Bears last week after
Davis and McDonald went down.
He plays fearless, quarterback Colin
Kaepernick said. He goes out, hes going to
give you everything he has and hes willing
to go and make a play.
Carriers career has come quite a long way.
He played football and basketball in his rst
two years at Beloit College, a liberal arts
school in Wisconsin. He chose to focus on
football his nal two
years, went undrafted and
spent part of 2012 on the
Philadelphia Eagles prac-
tice squad before playing
two games with the 49ers
late last season.
Carrier said he went with
football over basketball
because it was a better t .
By his junior year, he said
he was a small forward playing at 225
pounds.
I probably outweighed everyone on the
court by 30 pounds, said Carrier, who is 6-
foot-4 and about 250 pounds now.
Carriers time on the hardwood wasnt a
total loss, though. He said his basketball
experience helped hone his footwork and
hand-eye coordination, which are valuable
traits as a blocker and pass catcher in the
NFL.
I think the basketball aspect deals more
with just general athleticism, Carrier said. I
think a lot of the moves you have in basket-
ball are similar, posting up, being able to
move with your feet and your hands, it trans-
lates on the football eld.
Carrier turned down an offer to be a preferred
walk-on at Big Ten powerhouse Wisconsin
for Beloit because he didnt want to wait two
or three years to play and he wasnt think-
ing about an NFLcareer back then, anyway.
Carrier started all four years at Beloit, set-
ting school records for receptions (189),
yards (3,111) and touchdowns (29). But it
still wasnt enough to get drafted, especially
from a Division III school.
He worked his way up from the practice
squad, rst with the Eagles and then the
49ers. He nally got a chance last November
albeit a much smaller one when backup
tight end Garrett Celek was out with a ham-
string injury.
Carrier should get more time this Sunday,
but he said hes approaching this week like
any other.
I just try to focus individually on what I
need to do to help the team win on Sunday. I
just go out there and execute and do the best I
can, he said.
Davis is nursing a left ankle injury that had
him on crutches Wednesday and walking with
an exaggerated limp in front of reporters in
the locker room Thursday. McDonald missed
practice for the second straight day because of
an injured knee.
How much Carrier plays is still unclear,
too.
I think hes very well-respected around
here, Kaepernick said. Everyone has
noticed and has seen what hes done and the
work hes put in. So, its great to see him go
out and make plays and contribute.
Offensive coordinator Greg Roman called
Carrier an ascending player on the roster
and said he has improved as a blocker, which
was his biggest hurdle to clear as a former
wide receiver facing smaller cornerbacks on
the outside. Coach Jim Harbaugh has credited
Carrier for taking advantage of his opportu-
nities when called upon.
He understands his role, his ability and
now getting the experience to go out and do
it, Harbaugh said. Hes done several times,
and hes gotten better and better and better. I
think thats been probably the most positive
thing is the improvement he makes every
time that he steps on the eld.
NOTES: RTAnthony Davis worked out on
a side eld and is likely to miss his third
straight game with a hamstring injury. ... CB
Tramaine Brock (toe) also was among those
who did not practice.
49ers Derek Carrier ready to step in at TE

ALAMEDA For a player who generates
so much attention from opposing defenses
and gets paid handsomely by his own team,
Marcel Reece somehow has become the for-
gotten man on the Oakland Raiders offense.
Reece has touched the ball just four times
through two games and been on the eld for
just more than one-third of the offensive
snaps as the Raiders have lost the rst two
games.
With an offense that lacks playmakers and
has been struggling to score points, Reece
would seem to be a prime option to spark a
winless team.
Offensive coordinator Greg Olson said he
always looks for ways to get Reece the ball
but for some reason it just hasn't happened
much so far.
We have to be a little bit aware early in
the game of getting him involved early,
Olson said. We only had 20 snaps again in
the rst half. There were
things designed to him.
... We had some things
there it just didnt end up
going there. Well con-
tinue to nd ways to uti-
lize Marcel.
Reece said that any
offensive player wants to
get the ball as much as
possible but said his
frustration is solely on the Raiders record
and not about how he is being used.
Im about winning, he said. Thats all
its about for me. If were winning and I
dont touch the ball, I think that sits well
with me. We havent won yet so Im just try-
ing to do whatever I can to help this team
win and make plays on the eld.
Reece was given a three-year contract
extension worth more than $11 million last
September, making him one of the highest-
paid fullbacks in the NFL. His nearly $4
million cap charge this season is the second
highest of any Oakland skill position play-
er, trailing only backup quarterback Matt
Schaub.
Reeces few touches and limited time are
somewhat typical for fullbacks, who have
become almost an endangered species in
this wide-open passing era that has teams
often using three or four wideouts at a time.
But Reece is far from a typical fullback. He
is a converted college wide receiver who had
the speed to outrun the New York Jets
defense on a 63-yard touchdown run last year
and the hands to catch 52 passes in 2012.
In a sign of his versatility, Reece spent
more than one-third of his snaps last year
lined up as a wide receiver or tight end,
according to Pro Football Focus.
Hes a real tough matchup, Patriots
coach Bill Belichick said. Its hard to nd
guys that have his skills that you can put
on. You can put faster, quicker guys on him
that probably dont have his size and you
can put bigger guys on him that probably
dont have his speed and quickness. Its a
tough matchup. Obviously, well be chal-
lenged trying to get him covered.
Making Reeces lack of opportunities
more puzzling is the fact that he has
excelled in the few chances he has had as
Oaklands feature back. In ve starts over
the past two seasons at tailback, Reece has
averaged 123.4 yards a game a mark that
would have ranked fourth in the NFL last
year.
In his one start last year, he rushed for 123
yards on 19 carries against a stout Jets
defense that ranked third in the league in run
defense in 2013. No other back in the league
gained more than 81 yards on the ground in
a single game against the Jets.
Yet when the Raiders opened the season
against New York this year, Reece got only
three offensive touches while the team aver-
aged just 1.7 yards per carry.
Marcels a player that we think can help
us, coach Dennis Allen said. Well try to
use him the best that we can and give us a
chance to have success.

many touchdown passes as incompletions.
Julio Jones made a spectacular over-the-shoul-
der catch tumbling into the end zone.
The result: One of the biggest wins in
Atlanta Falcons history.
Hester set an NFLrecord with his 20th return
for a touchdown, Ryan threw for 286 yards and
three TDs, and Jones hauled in nine passes for
161 yards and a couple of scores to lead the
Falcons past the hapless Tampa Bay
Buccaneers, 56-14 on Thursday night.
It was a fun night, Ryan said.
The Falcons (2-1) led 35-0 before the
Buccaneers (0-3) picked up a rst down.
Ryan and the other offensive starters left
after Steven Jacksons 3-yard touchdown
run made it 49-0 before the midway point of
the third quarter.
Atlanta had a stunning 56-0 lead heading to
the fourth quarter. Tampa Bay scored two mean-
ingless touchdowns to avoid the worst loss in
franchise history.
Ive never been in a game quite like this,
Falcons coach Mike Smith said.
It was the second-largest win in the Falcons
48-year history, eclipsed only by 62-7 rout of
New Orleans in 1973. It was only the fth time
Atlanta has won by as many as 40 points.
Hester and Jones provided the signature
moments.
With the Falcons already ahead 28-0, Hester
took a punt at his own 44, found a seam up the
middle of the eld and easily zipped around the
last man with a chance to tackle him, punter
Michael Koenen. The 56-yard play was
Hesters 20th career return for a touchdown,
breaking the mark he shared with former
Falcons star Deion Sanders.
Sanders, now a television analyst, watched
Hesters return from the sideline at the Georgia
Dome. Hester high-stepped the last 10 yards
are so, his left hand bobbing behind his ear
a tribute to Prime Times signature move.
Its tough to break the record of the guy who
is my No. 1 mentor, Hester said. Im kind of
emotional right now.
Sanders didnt mind a bit. He smiled broadly
and waved to the crowd when he was shown on
the video board, the Hall of Famers record
falling in the stadium he once proclaimed as
my house.

back in name only. He is the Cherokees
main running threat and averaging 133
yards rushing per game. He ran for 159 yards
in last weeks win, including the nal 25
yards and the game-winning touchdown.
Woodside, on the other hand, rushed for
170 yards as a team with David Teu lead-
ing the way with 94 yards and three touch-
downs on 20 carries. Second-year quarter-
back Robert Wang threw for 217 yards two
weeks ago. The Wildcats racked up more
than 500 yards of offense but still came
away with a loss.
We were playing a pretty good team (in
Dublin). It came down to an abysmal third
quarter, special teams-wise. Afew big plays
and it really changed the complexion of the
game, Andrew said. We had the typical
rst-game stuff (mistakes). We were still
working out the bugs. As whole, we came
out ring. Went into halftime with the lead.
Losings not fun but we didnt feel like
we got beat up out there. We traded blows.
Despite being separated by only a few
miles, this is only the fth time these teams
will have met since 2004, although this is
the fourth straight season they will have
butted heads.
The teams have split the last four games,
with Sequoia having won the last two: 44-
26 in 2013 and 32-7 two years ago.
Woodside won 42-35 in 2011 and 51-7 11
years ago.
Woodside is a good program, Poulos
said. They have some explosiveness on
offense and some physicality on defense.
While Woodside will game plan for
Sequoia, Andrews said the focus has been on
his squad as they tried to address and clean
up the mistakes during the two weeks of
practice they will have had between games.
For the most part, practice has been
sharp. I think theyre pretty focused and I
think well go out and compete, Andrew
said. We touched up the things we needed to
touch up. Sequoia is a unique team from the
team we just played. If we stay true to our
game plan and minimize mistakes, well be
OK.

Appeals court reconsidering
Barry Bonds conviction
SAN FRANCISCO Attorneys for both
sides were peppered with skeptical questions
from a panel of judges as Barry Bonds seeks to
erase his felony conviction for obstruction of
justice.
The attorneys argued in a brief hearing
Thursday in front of an 11-judge panel of the
9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals over Bonds
conviction stemming from his 2003 appear-
ance before a grand jury.
Bonds lawyer, Dennis Riordan, argued that
the unresponsive answer Bonds gave to a
question about whether he had received
injectable substances did not constitute
obstruction.
Chief Judge Alex Kozinski replied that one
can mislead with the truth and lead a grand jury
down a blind alley.
But Judge Susan Graber told prosecutors she
doesnt see sufcient evidence that Bonds
obstructed justice because he was asked and
answered the question later in his testimony.
Nashville new home
for Athletics' Triple-A team
NASHVILLE, Tenn. The Oakland
Athletics moved their Triple-A minor league
afliate to Nashville on Thursday.
The As and the Pacic Coast Leagues
Nashville Sounds announced Thursday they
have agreed to terms on a four-year player
development contract that runs through the
2018 season. The Sounds new stadium, First
Tennessee Park, is scheduled to open next sea-
son.
The As had been partnered with the PCLs
Sacramento River Cats since 2000, and the
proximity between the two teams made it con-
venient when a player was promoted or sent
down or needed an injury rehab assign-
ment. The River Cats announced Thursday
theyd reached a deal to become the Triple-A
afliate for the San Francisco Giants.
Nashville had been the Milwaukee Brewers
Triple-Ahome since 2005. Organizations pre-
viously afliated with Nashville included the
Cincinnati Reds (1978-79 and 1987-92), New
York Yankees (1980-84), Detroit Tigers
(1985-86), Chicago White Sox (1993-97) and
Pittsburgh Pirates (1998-2004).

Hillsdale (1-1) at Capuchino (1-1), 7 p.m. Friday
The Knights lanced Lincoln-SF 27-6. The Mustangs
muscled their way to a 14-7 victory over South City. It
took a while, but Hillsdale QB Brett Wetteland nally found
his groove last week. After misring on four of his rst ve
passes, he nished the game completing nine of his last 10
including his last nine in a row. Wetteland nished with
175 yards passing. The Knights defense had 10 tackles for
a loss against Lincoln. Capuchino QB Tony Pellegrini
was the Mustangs best running back in the win over the
Warriors. He carried the ball 14 times for 162 yards and both
Cap TDs. The Mustangs defense also turned it up a notch.
After allowing 33 points in the opener against Burlingame,
they allowed only one TD last week.
Petaluma (2-1) at Jefferson (1-1), 7 p.m. Friday
The Trojans trounced Terra Linda-San Rafael 35-15. The
Indians outlasted Albany, 37-27. Petaluma is the deni-
tion of running back by committee. The Trojans rushed for
283 yards last week, distributing 44 carries to nine different
RBs. They did have four players rush for 40 yards or more, led
by Yusef Kawasami, who nished with 74 and two scores on
12 carries. Jeffersons 37 points scored is the most its put
on the scoreboard since a 37-20 win over El Camino in Week
5 of the 2011 season. Thats a span of 26 games.
Terra Nova (0-2) at Pioneer (1-1), 7 p.m. Friday
The Mustangs manhandled Gunderson last week, 61-20.
The Tigers were tamed by St. Ignatius, 27-24. Pioneer
plays in one of the toughest divisions in the Central Coast
Section the BVALs Mt. Hamilton Division, which fea-
tures the likes of Oak Grove and Piedmont Hills. The
Mustangs made the playoffs last year. Pioneer was blown
out 55-0 Week 1 by Valley Christian. Terra Nova saw a
rally fall short for the second straight week. Defense is
Terra Novas biggest problem right now. Through two
games, the Tigers are allowing an average of 27.5 points.
Scotts Valley (0-2) at Kings Academy (1-0), 7 p.m.
The Cardinals suffered a 24-20 loss to Watsonville. The
Knights knocked out San Jose, 49-14. Through two
games, Scotts Valley has scored a total of 21 points.
Kings Academy had a bye in Week 1. The Knights scored
40 or more points three times last season, winning all three.
The Knights defense allowed 31 points per game last year.
Half Moon Bay (1-1) at Gilroy (0-2), 7:30 p.m. Friday
The Cougars crushed Santa Clara 59-28. The Mustangs
were shut out 39-0 by Sobrato. Half Moon Bay has been
on an emotional roller coaster to start the season with the
hospitalization and subsequent passing of its offensive line
coach, Rocky Perry. The 59 points scored is the most for
the Cougars since a 65-0 win over Sequoia in Week 9 of
2005. Gilroy has been outscored 70-21 in two games.
The Mustangs are averaging 168 yards of offense on the sea-
son.
Menlo-Atherton (0-2) at Riordan (0-2), 1 p.m. Saturday
The Bears were mauled by Los Gatos, 35-7. The
Crusaders hung with Sacred Heart Prep, before falling 14-7.
M-As defense has allowed 35 points in each of the rst
two games. The offense has scored a total of 10 points.
Riordan is averaging 127 yards of offense per game so far in
2014. The Crusaders have three RBs who are a combined
minus-54 yards.
South City (0-2) at Serra (0-2), 1 p.m. Saturday
The Warriors fell to Capuchino 14-7. The Padres came
up short on the road against Notre Dame-Sherman Oaks 24-
14. The South City defense has been stout as usual
allowing an average of 17.5 points per game.
Offensively, however, the Warriors have found the end zone
only once this season. Serra lost one of its key players
last week when RB Kava Cassidy broke his collarbone and
underwent surgery this past Monday. While the Padres
ground attack has been blunted so far this season averag-
ing just over 70 yards per game sophomore QB Leki Nunn
has acquitted himself well throwing the ball. He is averaging
190 yards passing and three TDs. He has also been picked off
six times.
Lincoln-SF (1-1) at El Camino (1-1), 2 p.m. Saturday
The Mustangs were corralled by Hillsdale, 27-6. The
Colts were shut out 19-0 by Aragon. Lincoln is the only
team in the Athletic Academic Association that doesnt have
a losing record. The Mustangs explosive backeld was
held to just 173 yards rushing last week, after going for 355
in a 36-20 win over Irvington-Fremont. El Camino was
held to just 126 yards of offense last week. The Colts
defense appears to be stout, having allowed an average of
12.5 points per game.
The Rest
Smolinski, Tomas Telis and Ryan
Rua. A passed ball added another for
Texas. Smolinski had four hits, and the
Rangers rookies were 9 for 22.
This series was a far cry from the end
of the 2012 season, when the As
stunned the Rangers by sweeping the
nal three games at the Coliseum to
win the ALWest.
Sam Fulds RBI triple in the third
accounted for Oaklands runs. The As
were outscored 19-6 in an embarrass-
ing sweep and have struggled to sup-
port their starting pitchers during this
long funk.
I think if anyone had any answers it
wouldnt be happening, Gray said.
Today was just ugly, it was bad.

WR Simpson released by Vikings
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. The Minnesota
Vikings released Jerome Simpson on
Thursday following the revelation of more
trouble for the wide receiver: three misde-
meanors related to a previously unreported
incident this summer.
Simpson is facing charges of driving on a
limited drivers license, possession of mar-
ijuana in a motor vehicle, and having an
open bottle in a motor vehicle, according to
Rick Hart, deputy police chief in
Bloomington, Minnesota. Hart said
Simpson was cited but not arrested July 7,
declining to make further information pub-
lic because the case is considered open. The
citation was issued shortly after midnight
on a road less than a mile from the teams
suburban headquarters in Eden Prairie.
Simpson has a Nov. 3 arraignment in
Hennepin County court, but with him
already serving a three-game suspension for
violating the leagues substance-abuse pol-
icy the Vikings didnt wait to assess his sta-
tus. He would have been eligible to return to
the active roster Monday.
Simpsons attorney, David Valentini, did-
nt respond to requests for comment.

won the rst game 2-0. But Tri-City answered
back by shutting out State College 3-0 in
Game 2. All told, four of the six postseason
games in which the Spikes played resulted in
shutouts.
Not the nale though, as Diekroeger and
center elder Collin Radack paced the team
with three hits apiece in a triumph which saw
every State College player reach base, eight
by way of hits.
After playing ve games of the playoffs,
we realized how important every inning was,
Diekroeger said. We denitely made it a goal
to bring that intensity and focus into every
inning we had and it showed up in the very
rst inning.
The nale saw Spikes manager Oli Marmol
shake up his lineup quite a bit. While the No.
2, 3 and 4 hitters Diekroeger, Thompson
and cleanup hitter Alex De Leon remained
in tact, the other six positions in the order
were all different than in Game 2.
There was a lot of emotion going into it
because our coach changed up the lineup for
the last game, Diekroeger said. A couple
guys were upset because they wished they were
in the lineup, so there was a lot of emotion. It
showed the heart of our team that everybody
wanted to play. But it turned out to be the right
lineup because everyone hit that game and it
worked out well.
Thursday, Diekroeger reported to the Florida
Instructional League at the Cardinals com-
plex in Palm Beach, Florida where the third
baseman begins a three-week stint of offsea-
son work before returning to his Woodside
home. After being drafted in the 10th round
out of Stanford in June, Diekroegers rst pro-
fessional season was certainly one to remem-
ber.
It was really a blessed experience,
Diekroeger said. I was very fortunate to go
into a place where I had great teammates and
great coaches, great fans and a host family
that was really great. I really enjoyed the
experience over the whole summer.
St. Louis has invested in several Stanford
players in recent years. Stephen Piscotty was
a supplemental rst-round pick out of
Stanford by the Cards in 2012. He nished the
season at Triple-A Memphis, batting .288
with nine home runs and 69 RBIs on the sea-
son. Justin Ringo, a 28th round pick out of
Stanford by the Cards in 2013, nished the
season at Low-APeoria where he hit .294 with
nine home runs and 46 RBIs on the year.
Im hoping our paths will cross at some
point on the way up, Diekroeger said of
Ringo. Piscotty too, but hes close to the
bigs. But hopefully Ill be able to play with
both of them.

After graduating fromStanford in the spring,
the St. Louis Cardinals made former Menlo
School standout Danny Diekroeger a 10th-
round draft pick.
I was very fortunate to go into a place where I had great teammates
and great coaches, great fans and a host family that was really
great. I really enjoyed the experience over the whole summer.
Danny Diekroeger
by ring two aces to close out the second set.
Merten recorded three aces in the set and four aces
overall in the match.
Elisa is a great setter, Mack said. I think she
is a really good leader too. She vocalizes a lot as
to what we need to work on. And I think that also
helps us connect as a middle and a setter. I really
enjoy working with her and have learned a lot.
Mack is in her second year with the varsity
squad, though she did not see much action last
season. She was slated to split time with now
graduated Morgan Dressel at middle blocker, but
Mack suffered a serious ankle sprain which cost
her the rst month of the season. While she
returned to action several weeks earlier than
expected, she played a minimal role on the court
down the stretch.
What Mack lost in playing time, she gained
in observing the force of nature that was
Dressel, who tallied .95 blocks per set and a
45.6 overall kill percentage last season.
Shes just a great player and I learned a lot
from her, Mack said.
In Game 3, Menlo showed off its next-gen-
eration libero as Houghton went on a nine-
point service run. The sophomore totaled 18
serves on the night and took Aragon out of
system more than anyone, according to
Cavella. Houghton also was a major factor on
defense with a team-high 15 digs a season
statistic in which she currently paces the team.
She did a great job serving tonight, Cavella
said. She passed incredibly well. Overall, shes
done a great job defensively.
Houghton played a factor last season in her
rst full varsity season as a freshman. With then
senior Melissa Cairo captaining the Knights on
the court at the libero position, however,
Houghton stands to see a much more critical role
this season. And Houghtons ability to hang at
the varsity level as a freshman will serve to make
the transition to the post-Cairo era as seamless
as possible.
Melissa did a great job last year and Jess
had a chance to learn from her, Cavella said,
who listed the reasons Houghton played for
the team last season. One, she was good
enough to play for us last year. And two, to get
her experience and prepare her for this year and
to take over for Melissa.
For the Dons, the loss was just their second of
the season. They previously dropped a game to
the host team at the Laguna Blanca Tournament
in pool play Labor Day weekend. Aragon, how-
ever, went on to win the tournament behind the
play of senior outside hitter Miranda Taylor, who
captured tourney Most Valuable Player honors.
Taylor was a factor at net Thursday along with
sophomore Mel Moore, who tabbed four blocks
in the match.
Moving to the Peninsula Athletic League
Ocean Division this season, the Dons were the
odd team out in the ultra-competitive Bay
Division last season. Aragon head coach Kelsey
Stiles said the team isnt happy about dropping
to the lower division. Entering her second sea-
son at the helm though, she is optimistic the
Dons are returning 10 players in a still relative-
ly young mix with just four seniors.
It was kind of a building year for us last year,
but it was tough because we didnt expect it to be
that way, Stiles said. The expectations were a
lot higher. So, we learned a lot from that and the
girls are excited to come back.
As for Thursdays swift defeat, the Dons will
have a chance to bounce right back Saturday at
the Chris Chandler Invitation Tournament at
Menlo. In addition to the host team and Aragon,
the 16-team bill includes Menlo-Atherton, Notre
Dame-Belmont, South City, Mercy-Burlingame,
San Mateo and Woodside.

NEWYORK The WNBA post-
season drew its biggest television
audience in seven years with a dou-
ble-digit increase in ratings over
last season.
The Phoenix Mercurys three-
game sweep of the Chicago Sky,
which was seen on ESPN and ABC,

son.
The decisive game between the
Mercury and Lynx in the Western
Conference finals drew 828,000
viewers, the most since Detroit
faced Indiana in Game 2 of the
Eastern Conference nals in 2007.
The six conference semifinals

If you see one lm about
walled-in males this fall, it
should be the savage and pow-
erful British prison drama
Starred Up, a superlatively
acted father-son story played
out behind bars and starring
up-and-coming Jack
OConnell.
Not many are likely to make
that choice, though, as The
Maze Runner, based on the
James Dashner 2009 fantasy
novel, will surely multiply the
business of Starred Up
many times over with a far
more tame lm barely distinct
from the hordes of young-
adult sci- adaptations sprint-
ing through movie theaters.
Has a cottage industry ever
sprung up as fast as the YA
land rush brought on by
Twilight and The Hunger
Games? Id like to use a mor-
tal instrument to put an ender
to this game. Please, giver me
a break.
But to be fair, there isnt any-
thing inherently wrong with
The Maze Runner, directed
by special effects-veteran Wes
Ball. Its just that it does so lit-
tle to nd its own path sepa-
rate from its dystopia
brethren. All of the recent
young-adult formulas are
adhered to here: the teenage
rebellion against tradition, the
coming-of-age metaphors, the
heavy sequel-baiting.

Big Fish is the ultimately touch-
ing musical story of a father-son rela-
tionship.
Presented by Palo Alto Players in its
West Coast premiere, it tells the story
of Edward Bloom (Chris Janssen) and
his son Will (Danny Martin).
Ever since Will was a little boy (Nic
Roy Garcia), Edward has told fanciful
tales about his adventures with a
witch, a mermaid, a giant, a would-be
assassin and others.
Now an adult and expecting a son of
his own, Will wants to separate fact
from ction. This desire becomes more
acute when Edward becomes terminally
ill.
In going through his fathers
papers, Will and his wife, Josephine
(Jennifer Gregoire), discover a secret
aspect of Edwards life. Will goes back
to Edwards hometown, Ashton,
Alabama, to unearth the truth and
comes to understand his father as never
before.
Directed by artistic director Patrick
Klein, the PAP production moves
smoothly through its two acts (one
intermission) thanks to the uid set by
Klein and projections by Nick
Kumamoto.
Sometimes fanciful costumes by
Lisa Lutkenhouse Lowe add to the
enjoyment (The elephant is priceless).
Good acting is a hallmark through-
out the cast, especially Janssen and
Martin as father and son and by
Elizabeth Santana as Edwards loving
wife, Sandra. The large ensemble
plays multiple roles with Vic Prosak
standing out as Dr. Bennett and oth-
ers.
Based on a novel by Daniel Wallace,
the book by John August comes from
the latters screenplay for Tim
Burtons movie of the same name. The
music by Andrew Lippa, who also
wrote the lyrics, is pleasant and helps
to propel the story.
However, the musical aspects of this
production sometimes fall short, start-
ing with the orchestra led by musical
director Matthew Mattei from the key-
board. Intonation problems and sour
notes from the orchestra pit are too fre-
quent, or at least they were on opening
night.
Likewise, singing by a few of the
performers is out of tune, as if they
were chosen more for their acting than
their singing.
The most important exceptions are
Janssen as Edward, Santana as Sandra,
Gregoire as Josephine and Jessica
Whittemore as Jenny Hill, Edwards
high school girlfriend.
Choreography by Jennifer Gorgulho
sometimes lacks precision in the
ensemble.
Despite these shortcomings, the
overall performance is enjoyable
because of the story. Its a refreshing
change from the darker themes seen in
some contemporary musicals.
Big Fish will continue at the Lucie
Stern Theater, 1305 Middleeld Road,
Palo Alto, through Sept. 28. For tick-
ets and information call (650) 329-

a newbie to a strange prison called The
Glade a pastoral park surrounded by a
monolith concrete maze. The movie, with a
neat lack of exposition, starts with Thomas
being elevated into this world and dropped
there without any memory of life outside or
his identity.
Hes quickly indoctrinated to the ways and
order of the Glade, where several dozen other
boys have also been plunked down like lab
rats for the last three years. Under the lead-
ership of the calm Alby (Ami Ameen) and
the more questionable rigidity of Gally
(Will Poulter), they make exploratory runs
into the maze each day before the gate clos-
es at sundown.
The Maze Runner succeeds most in its
Lord of the Flies-like collection of
teenagers. (Thomas Brodie-Sangster and
Blake Cooper are among the distinct faces
in the crowd.) When a lone girl (Kaya
Scodelario) is surprisingly elevated into the
Glade, they, like proper adolescents, blink
with astonishment: Its a girl.
Theres a pleasantly low-, bare-bones
kind of storytelling here, at least before the
movies mysteries are boringly explained
another apocalypse to parse.
Thomas, curious and daring, quickly
upends the routines of the Glade and man-
ages to discover more about the concrete
labyrinth, which is patrolled by weird,
giant, half-robot scorpions dubbed
Grievers. (That the only monsters The
Maze Runner can summon are weird,
giant, half-robot scorpions is surely a hint
to its lack of imagination.)
The maze, too, is a letdown. Given that
its the central conceit of the lm, one
expects more than domino rows of big cin-
derblocks. Jack Nicholsons Jack Torrance,
who so memorably stalked the snowy hedge
maze of The Shining, wouldnt bat an eye
at these drab corridors.
The Maze Runner a 20th Century Fox
release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion
Picture Association of America for themat-
ic elements and intense sequences of sci-
violence and action, including some dis-
turbing images. Running time: 112 min-
utes. Two stars out of four.

NEWYORK Zachary Quinto got his big
acting break on NBCs Heroes, but hes rul-
ing out any role in the Heroes Reborn
miniseries due to air on the network next year.
The 37-year-old actor, whos best known
for his role as Spock on the 2009 J.J.
Abrams Star Trek reboot, says timing is
part of the problem, but
that he also felt that it
wasnt right for him cre-
atively, because hes real-
ly interested in cultivating
other experiences for
himself.
Im not going to do it,
he says.
Instead, hes turning his
attention to mentoring two rst-time lm-
makers on the unscripted series The Chair,
which airs Saturdays on the Starz network (11
p.m. EDT).
In the series, from Project Greenlight
creator Chris Moore, the lmmakers adapt
their own movie from the same original
screenplay. Viewers vote on which lm they
prefer, with $250,000 going to the winner.
Theres also his production company,
which executive produced The Chair, the
Oscar-nominated Robert Redford lm All Is
Lost and the upcoming NBC miniseries The
Slap, in which Quinto also is one of the
three co-stars.
Quinto is signed on to appear in one more
Star Trek lm, expected out in 2016.
Though theres nothing rm, lming for the
next Star Trek movie could potentially
begin early next year, he says.

Holley, Mr. Imagination, Charlie Lucas and
Kevin Sampson. The exhibit is curated by
Robert Poplack, Director of the Wiegand
Gallery, and Martha Henry.
While Lonnie Holley, Mr. Imagination
(Gregory Warmack), Charlie Lucas (Ti n
Man) and Kevin Sampson have all achieved
renown as self-taught African American
artists, they refer to themselves simply as
American artists. Born in the mid-20th cen-
tury, they came of age during the Civil
Rights movement when deep and abiding
racial discrimination was the norm.
Lacking opportunities, education and artist
role models, they managed to become
artists despite great social and economic
obstacles.
Martha Henry said, Their artworks
express their African and American culture,
their everyday lives, dreams and aspira-
tions. When we look into the mirror of the
black experience we have a better under-
standing of American culture, values and
spirituality. Black artists have played a
vital role in distinguishing our culture
throughout the world, indeed the black
experience is so interwoven into our larger
culture that it denes much of what the world
perceives today as American.
Notions of divine intervention and spiri-
tual renewal are at the heart of much of the
foursomes work. It is art that honors ances-
tors as an antidote to death and private
grief. Examples are Kevin Sampsons
shrines to deceased friends and relatives; the
ancestor thrones of Lonnie Holley and Mr.
Imagination; and Charlie Lucas metal
sculptures that honor his grandparents by
their material and method. Their use of
assemblage, found object sculpture and
installation invite comparisons to contem-
porary art practices dating back from the
beginning of the 20th century when Picasso
and Braque, inspired by African art, began to
use found objects in their work.
Gallery Director Poplack said, The
processes of painting, assemblage, con-
struction and found object sculpture reveal
restless minds capable of expression that
ranges from the serious to playful. The work
shows an openness to the spirit of imagina-
tion as well as a desire to entertain. Their
immersive, layered environments often
located in their yards and inside their homes
need to be experienced to be fully appre-
ciated.
The Wiegand Gallery is part of the
Madison Art Center, a stone building built
as a carriage house on the country estate of
the nancier William Chapman Ralston.
The exhibition space, with its porthole
windows and skylights, is an inviting envi-
ronment in which to experience art. The
gallerys mission is to focus attention on
the contributions and accomplishments of
important artists who are less recognized,
as well as to exhibit lesser-known works of
established artists. The Wiegand Gallery is
located at 1500 Ralston Ave., Belmont, on
the campus of Notre Dame de Namur
University. Admission is free. For informa-
tion call 508-3595. The Roots of the Spirit:
Lonnie Holley, Mr. Imagination, Charlie
Lucas and Kevin Sampson runs through
Nov. 26; The public is invited to the open-
ing reception 2 p.m.-4 p.m. Sunday, Sept.

BOSTON Five centuries after
William Shakespeare wrote Uneasy lies
the head that wears a crown, the Boston
Red Sox have been deposed as World
Series champions, bouncing from last
place to first and again to the cellar in a
shift from tragedy to comedy that even
the revered playwright would appreciate.
And so, as they head into yet another
winter of their discontent, the Red Sox
are turning Fenway Park over to the
Commonwealth Shakespeare Company
to bring a bit of the Bard of Avon to the
former home of Josh and Daniel Bard.
The curse of The Scottish Play and
The Curse of the Bambino will be as
one on Friday night when the troupe per-
forms a sort of Best of Bill, featuring 10
classic scenes in the ballpark that has
always been more Big Papi than Joseph
Papp, more Green Monster than green-
eyd monster, more Carl Yastrzemski
than Henry VIII.
Where else would you want to do
Shakespeare than in Bostons most hal-
lowed and treasured ground, artistic
director Steven Maler said. He wrote as
easily comedy as he did tragedy; the Red
Sox seem deeply versed in both.
Since John Henry bought the franchise
in 2002, the Red Sox have tried to
expand Fenways portfolio, renovating
it to increase capacity and using it to
host movie nights and hockey games and
Springsteen concerts. The lyric little
bandbox lauded by John Updike will be
the first in the major leagues to host a
Shakespearean performance, Maler said.
Theater doesnt belong inside these
curtain-draped, plush-seat experiences
were you have to pay 100 bucks to walk
through the door, said Maler, whose
company usually performs in the Boston
Common.

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
The New Century Chamber Orchestra
introduced MidPeninsula audiences to its
new featured composer for the upcoming
season, Derek Bermel, at Palo Altos First
United Methodist Church last Friday.
Bermel, 47, is from New York and com-
poses like a New Yorker. His music is ener-
getic and often brash and bouncy. He plays
the clarinet, and did so in two of his three
pieces played at the concert. The clarinet is
a versatile instrument, suited for sudden
leaps and turns and wails.
Bermel did a lot of that in his rst piece,
A Short History of the Universe, inspired
by physics lectures he heard while artist in
residence at the Institute for Advanced Study
in Princeton. Its a quintet for clarinet and
strings, which he performed with the rst-
chair players of the orchestra.
There isnt much physics to be heard in
this work: no minimalist time-shifting beat
patterns or the like. Instead, the clarinet
pierced and chuckled and bent the pitches of
notes. A rocking rhythm
in the strings in the slow
movement, topped with a
matching clarinet
melody, was the best
part. Alively dance in the
finale alternated with a
hymn for strings which
the clarinet interrupted
with little scrawls. Then
the violins and clarinet
played the hymn while the lower strings
gave the scrawls.
Another dance appeared in a movement
from Bermels Canzonas Americanas.
NCCOs musical director and concertmaster,
Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg, played a repeat-
ing Brazilian chros melody while Bermels
clarinet gave soft harmonic support.
Apologies to Bermels clarinet, but his
best work was the one he didnt play in. Oct
Up for strings and gently shaken percus-
sion has the minimalist style, and the quiet
hesitancy, missing from AShort History.
With some strings holding notes and others
pulsing quietly beneath them, rhythms and
harmonies shifting in a way reminiscent of
Philip Glass, it was captivating and charm-
ing.
It made a good match for Fratres by Arvo
Prt, which was played immediately before
it. Fratres, in its string orchestra version,
is a simple yet riveting hymn-like work in a
hushed and mysterious tone, with strings
playing iterations of a rhythmically com-
plex phrase, each phrase separated by
stealthy thumps from percussion.
The second half of the concert was more
light-hearted. As a string orchestra with per-
cussion, NCCO nds some repertoire off
limits, unless someone arranges the music
for it. Bizets opera Carmen comes already
arranged. In 1967, Russian composer
Rodion Shchedrin arranged music from
Carmen into a suite for strings and percus-
sion. The Soviet government was shocked
by Shchedrins irreverence, and he found it
hard to get the work staged as the ballet he
intended. But it came to concert halls, and
NCCO has played it before.
The music is packed with famous
melodies, but theyre always full of surpris-
es. To hear fragments of the Habanera
turned into a hushed prelude for bells, or the
Toreadors Song with just the accompani-
ment, the melody having suddenly cut out,
is to have Carmen thrown completely off
balance. Its one of the cleverest musical
spoofs ever written.
NCCO is not a silly orchestra, though, and
this performance took the work seriously.
The lively parts were presented earnestly,
and the slow and serious sections with a
somber intensity and power betting an
orchestra thrice its size.
Still, it was nothing less than amusing
watching gallant percussionists Galen
Lemmon and Artie Storch darting around
amidst the huge battery of instruments occu-
pying the back of the stage.
NCCOs next local concert will be Friday,
Dec. 19, in a holiday program with orches-
tral works by Vivaldi, Corelli and Bach,
with choruses and carols sung by the San
Francisco Girls Chorus. Derek Bermel
makes his reappearance with a newly-com-
missioned work on Friday, May 29.
Featured composer enlivens New Century
Derek Bermel brings his clarinet and more to the MidPeninsula
Derek Bermel
Ellison, 70, intends to still play an inu-
ential role at Oracle Corp. He is taking over
as Oracle's executive chairman, replacing
Jeff Henley in the position, and will over-
see the engineering departments as chief
technology ofcer. What's more, Ellison
remains Oracle's biggest shareholder with a
25 percent stake in the Redwood Shores,
California, company that accounts for most
of his $51 billion fortune.
Catz, Oracle's chief nancial ofcer until
Thursday, will be responsible for manufac-
turing, legal and nance, while Hurd will
supervise sales and all services. Both of
them will report to Oracle's board instead of
Ellison. Oracle isn't hiring a CFO to replace
Catz.
"I am going to continue to do what I have
been doing the past several years and they
are going to continue doing what they have
been doing the past several years," Ellison
told analysts during a Thursday conference
call.
Given that Catz and Hurd are already han-
dling many of the same duties as Oracle's
co-presidents, the new pecking order may
not seem like much of a change, especially
among investors who worried about the
company's sluggish growth in recent years.
Oracle's stock slipped 86 cents, or 2 per-
cent, to $40.69 in Thursday's extended trad-
ing following the company's announce-
ment. The downturn may have had more to
do with Wall Street's disappointment with
Oracle's scal rst-quarter earnings, which
were also announced late Thursday and
missed analyst targets, than with the reshuf-
ing of management duties.
The shake-up comes at a critical point in
Oracle's history. It is trying to adapt to the
technological upheaval that is causing
more of its corporate customers to lease
software applications stored in remote data
centers instead of paying licensing fees to
install programs on machines kept in their
own ofces. The shift to Internet-connected
software has become known as "cloud com-
puting."
" W h i l e
there was
some specu-
lation Larry
could step
down, the
timing is a
bit of a head
scratcher in our opinion and the Street will
have many questions," said FBR Capital
Markets analyst Daniel Ives.
Although Ellison has steadfastly insisted
that Oracle is well positioned to sell more
cloud computing services, smaller rivals
such as Salesforce.com Inc. and Workday
Inc. have been growing at a much faster
clip. Both Salesforce, started by former
Oracle executive Marc Benioff, and
Workday, founded by longtime Oracle neme-
sis David Dufeld, were created explicitly as
cloud computing specialists.
In a post on his Twitter account, Benioff
cast doubt about whether Ellison is really
relinquishing any control. "There always
has been, and always will be, one CEO at
Oracle," Benioff tweeted.
Since he co-founded Oracle with $1,200
of his own money in 1977, Ellison has
become has well known for his antics away
from the ofce as his accomplishments as
the company's CEO.
Through the years, Ellison has driven
fancy cars, own his own jet, raced yachts,
wooed beautiful women and owned ornate
homes in San Francisco, Malibu and an
exclusive Silicon Valley neighborhood,
where he spent $170 million on a 45-acre
compound designed to remind him of Japan
and the samurai warriors that he admires. In
2012, he bought his own Hawaiian island
by acquiring 98 percent of Lanai.
Last year, Ellison staged the boating race
for America's Cup in the San Francisco Bay,
where a team of professional sailors that he
personally nanced won the trophy for the
second straight time.
Ellison, a close friend of late Apple co-
founder Steve Jobs, has always relished his
status as the richest person in the nation's
high-tech heartland, where free-flowing
stock options sometimes turned reception-
ists and cafeteria workers into millionaires.
Money is "a method of keeping score,"
Ellison once told an interviewer.

Tim Campos, Facebooks chief infor-
mation ofcer.
Silicon Valley companies have
recently come under criticism for
workforces that are mostly young,
male, white and Asian.
Facebook hopes to attract young
techies like Rosie Valencia, a Sequoia
High junior who interned at Facebook
this summer and interviewed
Zuckerberg on stage Thursday.
I really want more girls to be able
to code because when I started none of
my friends even knew what I was
doing, Valencia told the audience.
Jim Wunderman, CEO of the Bay
Area Council, a business advocacy
group, said Facebook and other tech
rms are trying to expand the pipeline
of local tech talent.
The more they can nd qualied, tal-
ented people, the more successful
theyll be in developing new products,
new ideas and new approaches,
Wunderman said
SEQUOIA
she cant get expunged because of pro-
bation violations.
Again, I cant blame anyone but
myself but please I ask that I have the
opportunity to have a life like anyone
else, she said.
But Sarah and others like her may
nd hope on Election Day.
Voters then will be given the oppor-
tunity to pass Proposition 47, other-
wise known as The Safe
Neighborhoods and Schools Act. For
backers, the proposition is a way to
move away from incarceration and
toward treatment. For opponents, the
proposal is a hit to public safety.
Statewide, the pro-Proposition 47
campaign is greatly outraising the
opposition and several polls show
public support.
If approved by voters in November,
several crimes currently classied as
felonies will be reduced to misde-
meanors and those previously convict-
ed of those crimes will have the chance
to see them reduced. For people like
Sarah, this is the chance to no longer
be held back from jobs and licensing
where felonies prove a roadblock.
San Mateo County District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe says he understands
where supporters are coming from but
for him Proposition 47 takes away his
discretion and potentially keeps vio-
lent repeat offenders on the street.
My concern is not the low-level
offender but the guy who just got out of
prison for domestic violence, kidnap-
ping, mayhem, human trafficking.
Then he commits one of these crimes
and it doesnt matter. He still gets
charged as a misdemeanor, Wagstaffe
told the Daily Journal.
Wagstaffe stands in sharp contrast to
his district attorney counterparts
George Gascon of San Francisco and
Jeff Rosen of Santa Clara County, both
who have very publicly endorsed the
proposition. Wagstaffe said he can
respect the opinion but that neither
need legislation to act. The crimes on
the list of downgrade are wobblers,
meaning they can be charged as either
a felony or misdemeanor.
They can do it right now so why
wait? he asked.
The difference in public perspective
played out at the board meeting where
the supervisors themselves were split
on whether to pass a resolution oppos-
ing the proposition. The request ulti-
mately passed on a narrow 3-2 vote,
with supervisors Carole Groom,
Adrienne Tissier and Warren Slocum
voting in favor, but not before hearing
from numerous individuals sharing
personal experiences and organiza-
tions like Peninsula Interfaith Action
and the American Civil Liberties
Union, which are working to assure
the propositions passage.
The crimes proposed to become
straight misdemeanors are shoplift-
ing, grand theft, receiving stolen
property, check forgery, writing bad
checks and drug possession all with
a $950 or less value cap. Possession of
drugs like cocaine and heroin will also
be changed to a misdemeanor.
There are exceptions. Anyone with
convictions for certain violent crimes
like murder or sex offenses are not eli-
gible.
Savings from reduced prison and
parole populations are estimated
between $100 million to $250 million
annually which would be redirected
into programs for truancy, victim serv-
ices and mental health and drug abuse
treatment.
Not surprisingly, Wagstaffes oppo-
sition is joined in San Mateo County
by Sheriff Greg Munks, the police and
sheriffs associations and throughout
the state by the state associations for
sheriffs, district attorneys, police
chiefs, peace officers and retailers.
Crime Victims United and Crime
Victims Action Alliance are also pri-
mary opponents.
But not everybody with a law
enforcement pedigree is in the same
corner.
Deputy County Manager Mike
Callagy, who served in the San Mateo
Police Department for nearly 30 years,
favors Proposition 47 and, along with
County Manager John Maltbie, offers
a different perspective.
The state spends $9 billion on a
criminal justice system that fails 70
percent of the time, Callagy said.
Proposition 47 isnt just about read-
justing punishments but also spending
money wisely.
Callagy said a better use of that
money is investing in truancy pro-
grams and the causes of crime name-
ly addiction.
To me, this is where the necessity
is. We need to stop the warehousing
and the cycle of arrests, convictions
and incarceration, he said.
Callagy said Proposition 47 helps
by removing the scarlet letter of a
felony conviction that can keep a per-
son from moving forward with their
lives.
During his tenure in law enforce-
ment, Callagy said he saw three gener-
ations of family members move
through the system.
How do you not sit there and wonder
what went wrong? he said.
Prison should be saved for violent
offenders, not low-level property
offenders whose crimes fall under
Proposition 47, Callagy said.
But Munks said while supporters
may feel the crimes suggested for
downgrade are not as serious because
theyre property crimes, they are just
as important to the victims left foot-
ing bills for broken windows or stolen
cellphones.
The drugs proposed also include so-
called date rape drugs, Wagstaffe
said.
Backers of Proposition 47 counter
that the law already penalizes the use
of the drugs to commit crimes like sex-
ual assault of an intoxicated person.
Some supporters of the proposition
say its passage will make the rest of
the state more in line with the discre-
tion used by Wagstaffe and his ofce in
charging decisions. Wagstaffe said he
appreciates the compliment but says
voters can already do that by electing
district attorneys with that mindset.
Besides, he said, a blanket approach
might not be best.
What works in Modoc might be dif-
ferent than what works in Imperial,
he said. And what works here might
not work somewhere else.

MILLBRAE STATION Area
Specific Plan Update
Environmental Review
Scoping has begun!
The City of Millbrae, as a Lead Agency, is preparing an Envi-
ronmental Impact Report (EIR) on the Millbrae Station Area
Specific Plan (Specific Plan) Update process, as well as two
Millbrae Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) projects within
the Specific Plan boundaries (altogether referred to as the
proposed Project). A Notice Of Preparation (NOP) to solicit
public comments and input on the environmental impacts of
the proposed Project was issued on September 19, 2014.
The City is undertaking a process to update the Specific Plan,
which was initially developed and adopted in 1998. The Spe-
cific Plan Update process will redefine a vision for an approxi-
mately 116-acre area in the vicinity of the Millbrae BART/Cal-
train Station. This update will also re-establish a framework
for new development as a means to increase economic devel-
opment in Millbrae and improve the quality of life of its resi-
dents. The two Millbrae TOD projects, located immediately
east and west of the Millbrae BART/Caltrain Station, are in-
tended to implement the updated vision of the Specific Plan.
These two projects propose a mix of uses, including office,
residential, hotel, open space, and retail uses.
The City of Millbrae encourages you to submit your ideas
about what should be discussed in the EIR. The EIR scoping
comment period for the proposed Project began on Septem-
ber 19, 2014 and continues through October 19, 2014. All
scoping comments must be submitted by 5:00 p.m., October
19, 2014. Comments can be submitted in the following ways:
Write to: Marty Van Duyn, Community Development Project
Manager, 621 Magnolia Avenue, Millbrae, CA 94030
Email: mvanduyn@ci.millbrae.ca.uswith Millbrae Station
Area Specific Plan Update EIR as the subject
Provide comment at the public scoping meeting: Tuesday,
September 30, 2014 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Millbrae Library
Room A, 1 Library Avenue, Millbrae, CA 94030. The meeting
is free and open to all.
For more information about the project, visit http://www.ci.mill-
brae.ca.us/ or contact Marty Van Duyn at (650) 259-2335 or

testament to how fun the event is and why
its so popular. Its really a great way to get
together with friends and family and have a
nice day in our environment and leave it
better than when you rst got there. The
other part I nd exciting, is its become a
generational thing, Schwartz said. Its
sort of a gateway into coastal stewardship
and now were able to see parents instilling
the same ethics in their children.
Trash escapes into the environment
through numerous channels and, as the
nation is becoming a throwaway culture,
Schwartz said one of the most inuential
things a person can do is be mindful in their
daily lives.
Whats most concerning is most of what
we nd are single-use disposable plastics
and that type of litter is increasing,
Schwartz said. The rst and best thing peo-
ple can do, without question, is if you want
to prevent litter, reduce the amount of litter
thats created. So you can go reusable at
every opportunity. These are fairly simple
habits to build that will signicantly reduce
our marine debris problem.
The majority of litter found strewn across
the state includes cigarette butts, paper and
plastic bags, food wrappers and containers,
bottle caps and lids, eating utensils and
plates, plastic straws, glass and plastic bot-
tles, cans and Styrofoam, according to the
Coastal Commission.
As a county bordered by both a Bayfront
and a coastline, its vital people recognize
the trash that escapes onto the streets can
inevitably end up in the water, said
Waymond Wong, San Mateo County envi-
ronmental health program supervisor.
The majority of the time [the coastal
cleanup day] has been known as a beach
cleanup. And for us, knowing that we also
have a Bayside, it requires us to do some
more education. Thats why our focus has
been on what ends up in the storm drain
ends up in both locations because of the
downstream effect, Wong said.
Coastal cleanup days have thus spread to
streams, parks, streets and the Bay, Wong
said.
Yet as varying agencies have jurisdiction
over parks, beaches, highways and the Bay,
enforcement and penalizing those who lit-
ter seems inconsistent and rare. Instead,
agencies like California State Parks focus
on educating the public how inuential their
actions are, said Vicky Waters, deputy direc-
tor of public affairs for State Parks.
Littering does affect pretty much every-
thing, every part of our daily lives. When
we talk about State Parks, it affects not just
the aesthetics, but it affects the natural
resources. A lot of endangered species and
native species live in our parks and have
their habitats in our parks and those can be
really impacted, Waters said. We do hope
that something like this coastal cleanup
that happens every year does raise aware-
ness throughout the year and not just on one
particular day.
Waters said State Parks budget challenges
make volunteers and educational opportuni-
ties all the more valuable. Although there
are nes against littering, Waters said its
difcult to patrol and enforce the law.
San Mateo County is somewhat progres-
sive in its efforts to create regulations
aimed at decreasing the amount of litter pro-
duced, Wong said. The county led the way in
encouraging other cities to ban plastic bags
and prohibit food vendors from using poly-
styrene products, Wong said.
Schwartz agreed effecting true change and
reducing the impacts Californians have on
their environment requires a statewide,
multi-front approach.
It really does take a massive effort of
increased education for anybody thats
involved. From new policies like were see-
ing coming down the [Legislature] with the
potential for a statewide ban on plastic bags
and new stormwater regulations to prod-
uct redesigning. Actually reimagine how we
package and produce products so theyre
less likely to become marine debris,
Schwartz said. Theres no one silver bullet
for it unfortunately. It really takes every
sector of society to contribute what they
can.
The 30th annual California Coastal
Cleanup Day is Saturday, Sept. 20 at loca-
tions across the state. Many of the events
are 9 a.m.-noon. For more information and

CLEANUP
By Jill Lawless
EDINBURGH, Scotland Voters in
Scotland turned out in unprecedented num-
bers for an independence referendum and
early results Friday suggested they wanted
to keep Scotlands 307-year union with
England.
With 26 of 32 regional electoral centers
reporting, the No side had about 54 percent
of the vote to 46 percent for the Yes side.
Those against independence also scored a
big win by strongly taking Aberdeen,
Scotlands oil capital.
The average turnout was 86 percent a
record high.
Scottish Conservative leader Ruth
Davidson told the BBC she was condent
the silent majority of Scots would deliver
a No victory.
After the polls closed late Thursday, a
nationwide count began immediately. Many
Scots stayed up overnight in homes and
bars, awaiting the result.
Why not roll the dice for once? Yes sup-
porter Thomas Roberts said at one
Edinburgh polling station. Im going to
sit with a beer in my hand watching the
results coming in.
At Highland Hall outside of Edinburgh,
where the nal result will be announced later
Friday, vote-counters at dozens of tables
sorted through paper ballots, watched keen-
ly by monitors from the Yes and No camps.
Eager voters had lined up outside some
polling stations even before they opened
Thursday. More than 4.2 million people had
registered to vote 97 percent of those eli-
gible including residents as young as 16.
For some, it was a day they had dreamed of
for decades. For others, the time had nally
come to make up their minds about the
future both for themselves and for the
United Kingdom.
Fifty years I fought for this, said 83-
year-old Isabelle Smith, a Yes supporter in
Edinburghs maritime district of Newhaven,
a former shing port. And we are going to
win. I can feel it in my bones.
But financial consultant Michael
MacPhee, a No voter, said he would observe
the returns with anxiety.
Scottish independence is the daftest idea
Ive ever heard, he said.
After polls closed, some No campaigners
said they were condent they had swayed
enough undecided voters to stave off inde-
pendence. They may have been helped by a
last-minute offer from Britains main polit-
ical parties to give Scotland more powers if
voters reject secession, and by fears about
the future of Britains pensions and the
National Health Service in an independent
Scotland.
British Prime Minister David Cameron
was to make a televised address about
Britains future Friday morning after the
result was announced.
The question on the ballot could not be
simpler: Should Scotland be an independ-
ent country?
Yet it divided Scots during months of cam-
paigning, generating an unprecedented vol-
ume and intensity of public debate and par-
ticipation. The Yes side, in particular, ener-
gized young people and previously disillu-
sioned working-class voters.
Many questions the currency an inde-
pendent Scotland would use, its status with-
in the 28-nation European Union and
NATO, the fate of Britains nuclear-armed
submarines, based at a Scottish port
remained uncertain or disputed after months
of campaigning.
Early results suggest Scots reject independence
