U.S. FIGHTER JETS AND DRONES CONTINUE TO POUND ISLAMIC
STATE MILITANTS IN IRAQ

To help get more cars off the road, San
Mateo is working to build a pedestrian and
bicyclist overpass to make crossing
Highway 101 on Hillsdale Boulevard safer.
The City Council met Monday to discuss
the Hillsdale Pedestrian/Bicycle Bridge
project that would create a separate path for
people to cross Hillsdale Boulevard without
having to encounter oncoming vehicles
entering or exiting Highway 101.
Theres a number of reasons for the proj-
ect, said Aaron Lam, associate engineer in
the citys Public Works Department. Its a
mode shift, a way to get people out of their
cars. So ease up a little bit on trafc, its
also a healthier mode of travel.
The proposed 1.2-mile bridge would cre-
ate a safer multi-use connection from the
Hillsdale Caltrain Station and the Los
Prados and Lakeshore neighborhoods. The
proposed bridge would begin near the
Kaiser Medical Center at Bay Meadows and
end at the Norfolk intersection, Lam said.
The city is also considering adding addi-
tional access connections at Hillsdale Court
on the west side and La Selva Street to the
east, Lam said.
As the project is in the Caltrans right-of-
way, the city is in the midst of preparing
documents to prove the necessity of the
project and staff hopes to submit its pro-
posal to Caltrans later this week, Lam said.
If approved, the city will begin an envi-
ronmental review process before any actual
design work is done, Lam said.

What does $1 get you?
If youre Matthew Nguyen, that buck
means two years in prison. The 22-year-old
San Mateo man was sentenced Wednesday to
two years in prison for robbing a teen girl
of $1 after entering her backyard and point-
ing an Airsoft pistol through the window.
Nguyen pleaded no contest in July to rob-
bery and admitting using
a deadly weapon in return
for no more than five
years in prison.
Prosecutors dropped
other charges of assault
and vandalism stemming
from his alleged punch-
ing at an ofcer he
missed and damage of
the police station hold-
ing room after his arrest.
On Wednesday, Judge Jonathan Karesh
opted for the lower term and terminated his
probation in an earlier conviction which he
violated with the new arrest.
He has credit of 202 days against his
prison term earned while in custody on
$50,000 bail and must serve 85 percent of
the rest.
San Mateo police arrested Nguyen Feb.
26 after responding to calls of a suspected
robber in the 3200 block of Verdun Avenue.
According to the girl, she was sitting at her
dining room table inside the home when she
looked up from her homework to see a man
in a ski mask standing outside the window
pointing a gun. The man yelled for her to
just get money and she screamed for her
father who called police. The girl pulled a
$1 bill from her pocket and handed it to the
man through the door before he ed.
Police found Nguyen nearby wearing
clothing that matched the girls descrip-
tion and possessing both the dollar and
pistol.

Legislation aimed at reinstating
public access to the contested Martins
Beach is a step closer to arriving on
the governors desk after narrowly
being approved on the Assembly
Floor Wednesday despite lobby efforts
funded by the property owner.
Senate Bill 968, authored by state
Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, would
require billionaire venture capitalist
Vinod Khosla, who bought the coveted
property in 2008 for $32.5 million, to
negotiate with the State Lands
Commission for public access.
After passing in the Assembly 41-
24, with 14 members abstaining, the
bill will head back to the Senate oor
as early as Thursday for a vote because
it was amended in the Natural
Resources and Appropriations com-
mittees. If the bill passes prior to Aug.
31, Gov. Jerry Brown will have 12
days to sign it. If it doesnt make it to

scooter ride leads to jail

Man shows up for jail
in T-shirt with mug shot
MADISON, Maine A Maine man
who served a 48-hour sentence for
drunken driving wore something spe-
cial for his jail booking photo: a T-
shirt featuring his mug shot.
Nineteen-year-old Bobby Burt, of
Pittseld, had the mug shot from his
June arrest printed on the orange shirt,
along with the words, Sponsored by
Bud Light and Somerset County
Sheriff.
The mug shot is making the rounds
online thanks to The Smoking Gun,
which posted it Monday.
Sean Maguire, the jails compliance
manager, said theres no policy on
what inmates can or cannot wear for
booking photos.
Burt, whos using the mug shot for
his Facebook prole picture, didnt
immediately return a call left at his
place of employment Tuesday.
His 101st birthday
present? Another day at work
EAST HANOVER, N.J. Herman
Hy Goldman turned 101 this week-
end and wont quit after 73 years work-
ing at the same New Jersey job.
Goldman still shows up four days a
week at light xtures company Capitol
Lighting in East Hanover. His co-
workers celebrated his birthday with
him on Monday.
Aside from a brief absence to serve
in the U.S. Army in World War II,
Goldman has worked at Capitol
Lighting since 1941. The store says he
was rst hired to sell items and stock
and clean the displays.
Co-worker Sandy Ronco says
Goldman now specializes in rebuilding
items that were damaged or unusable.
Goldman lives in nearby Whippany
and still drives himself to work.
Owl enters 10th story
apartment, kills canary
COEUR DALENE, Idaho An owl
ew into a 10th story apartment in
Coeur dAlene, apparently opened a
bird cage and killed one of two canaries
inside, the residents said.
Sue Sausser said she awakened
Sunday to find bird droppings and
feathers all over her apartment, the
Coeur dAlene Press reported .
Sausser found the brownish, yellow-
eyed owl between the wall and the
chest of drawers on which the bird cage
sits. It ew out the door and perched on
their balcony railing long enough for
them to take a few pictures. Don
Sausser estimated the owl was 6 to 8
inches tall.
Sue and Don Sausser found one of
their canaries dead in the cage. The
other seemed jumpy and anxious, they
said.
Beth Paragamian, wildlife education
specialist with for Idaho Fish and
Game and the Bureau of Land
Management, said its strange that an
owl would be ying so high in an area
without many tall trees and surprising
that it would enter a residence, much
less open a bird cage.
That is very unusual, she said.
Don Sausser said theyll likely still
leave their sliding glass door open on
warm summer evenings, but plan to use
twist ties to secure the door on the bird
cage.

Obituary
South San Francisco to be fogged for West Nile
Mosquitoes infected with West Nile virus have spread to
South San Francisco and prompted San Mateo County mos-
quito ofcials to fog in the 94080 zip code area Thursday
night.
The San Mateo County Mosquito and Vector Control
District collected adult mosquitoes that tested positive on
Aug. 19 and will fog 1,058 acres in South San Francisco, as
well as areas of Colma and Daly City between 9 p.m.
Thursday and 5 a.m. Friday.
The district will use a truck-mounted fogging abatement
treatment that has proven successful in San Mateo over the
last few months. However, if more mosquitoes test positive
after the South San Francisco treatment, it may fog the area
again, according to the district.
The district will use the adulticide Zenivex, which the
Environmental Protection Agency has determined is safe
for urban use.
The primary hosts of West Nile are birds. Humans, squir-
rels, horses and other animals can contract the virus when
bit by an infected mosquito, according to the district. West
Nile cannot be spread person to person, according to the
district.
Reports of dead birds and squirrels are an early indication
the virus is circulating and resident are encouraged to report
carcasses to the West Nile virus hotline at westnile.ca.gov
or (877) 968-2473.
To reduce the chance of infection, residents are encour-
aged to drain any standing water and wear proper clothing
and repellent during dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are
most active, according to the district.
For more information and to see a map of Thursdays
planned fogging treatment visit smcmad.org.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Three years of drought
have Californians debating an end to the
states status as one of the last in the West
with a pump-as-you-please policy for the
vital underground sources that provide up to
65 percent of the states water.
Even with falling groundwater tables con-
tributing to mandatory water restrictions for
many cities, and forcing farmers and others
to drill deeper and deeper wells, its been
down to the wire as to whether Californias
competing water interests are ready to trans-
late that talk into action. Californias status
as the countrys biggest farm economy, with
the water-thirsty Central Valley the most
productive U.S. agricultural area, makes the
issue of interest nationwide. Farmers use 80
percent of the states water.
The many ways that Californians increas-
ingly are feeling the bite of the drought
made this months legislative session one
of the strongest chances ever for the state to
overcome the objections of farmers and oth-
ers to adopt its rst statewide groundwater
management plan, backers say.
Two bills before lawmakers would require
some local governments to start managing
groundwater withdrawals, and authorize the
state to step in if they fail. Legislators face
an Aug. 31 deadline to get bills to Gov.
Jerry Brown, however. A bill by state Sen.
Fran Pavley, D-Agoura Hills, passed the
state Senate 24-12 on Tuesday, heading for a
vote in the Assembly by the end of the
month.
Some in the states inuential agriculture
bloc had been urging lawmakers to take up
regulation at some other time.
California farmers are scared to death
about ceding some oversight of critical irri-
gation water to state government, said Paul
Wenger, an almond and walnut grower near
the central California city of Modesto, and
president of the California Farm Bureau
Federation.
San Francisco water
source subject of lawsuit
FRESNO A nonprot group in Fresno
says a massive reservoir that serves over
two million people in the San Francisco
Bay Area is harming endangered sh in the
Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
The Center for Environmental Science,
Accuracy and Reliability filed a lawsuit
against the National Park Service this week
arguing the park service has failed to ensure
Hetch Hetchy reservoir doesnt negatively
impact endangered species. The group says
Hetch Hetchy takes fresh water from the
Delta, increasing its salinity and hurting
endangered salmon, smelt and sturgeon.
The nonprofit has ties to Fresnos
Westlands Water District, which supplies
farmers with irrigation water from the Delta.
The National Park Service did not immedi-
ately respond to requests for comment.
Governor criticizes
new-hire pension enhancements
SACRAMENTO The state pension
board has approved nearly 100 types of sup-
plemental pay that can be used to increase
retirement benefits for newer public
employees, one of which drew a strong
rebuke from Gov. Jerry Brown.
On Wednesday, Brown said the California
Public Employees Retirement System board
got it wrong in counting temporary raises
toward retirement calculations.
The board voted 7-5 to allow supplemen-
tal payments to be credited toward pensions
for employees hired after Jan. 1, 2013. The
extra pay can be given for such duties as
changing a street light or undergoing addi-
tional police training.
The Democratic governor says including
one type of extra pay that given during
short-term promotions goes against the
intent of his 2012 pension-reform law. He
says he has asked his staff to review options
for protecting the pension reforms.
Senate approves
lactation rooms at major airports
SACRAMENTO The state Senate has
passed legislation requiring large airports
to offer a private space for mothers to
breastfeed or pump milk.
Lawmakers approved AB1787 by
Democratic Assemblywoman Bonnie
Lowenthal of Long Beach on a 32-1 vote
Wednesday. It now returns to the Assembly.
Senator Kevin de Leon of Los Angeles,
who presented the bill in the Senate, said
new mothers should not be conned to the
restrooms.
Under the bill, terminals at existing air-
ports must offer rooms with a chair and an
electrical outlet for the pump, while new ter-
minals must include rooms with sinks.
It applies to airports serving more than 1
million passengers a year. San Francisco
International is the only airport in
California currently offering such accom-
modations.
If signed into law, AB1787 would take
effect in 2016.
Panel OKs state
librarian despite initial concerns
SACRAMENTO The son of a former
California Supreme Court justice won
approval Wednesday from a state Senate
panel as the new state librarian after initial
concerns that he had never worked in the
eld and had no formal training as a librari-
an when he was nominated.
Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown named Greg
Lucas of Sacramento to the $143,000-a-year
post in March.
State law requires the appointee to be a
technically trained librarian, and Lucas said
he began taking an online masters degree
library science class this month from San
Jose State University.
The Senate Rules Committee approved the
appointment without opposition on a
bipartisan 5-0 vote and sent it to the full
Senate for nal consideration.
Deborah Doyle, president of the
California Library Association, said librari-
ans were initially surprised by Browns
choice of Lucas, but she has since been
impressed by Lucas performance and inter-
est in getting to know libraries and their
users.
It is a political appointment, she said
before testifying in favor of Lucas at the
committee hearing. He seems to have lots
of connections that sometimes people who
have been born and raised in the library sys-
tem dont normally have.
Lucas is the son of former state Supreme
Court Chief Justice Malcolm Lucas. He is
married to Donna Lucas, who heads a politi-
cally connected Sacramento public relations
agency and previously worked for former
Republican governors Arnold
Schwarzenegger and George Deukmejian.
Legislation would
require boating safety course
SACRAMENTO The state Assembly is
endorsing legislation that would require
Californians to take a boating safety
course, an online test and obtain a vessel
operator card before driving a motorized
boat.
Lawmakers approved SB941 by
Democratic Sens. Bill Monning of Carmel
and Mark DeSaulnier of Concord on a 45-23
vote Wednesday, sending it back to the
Senate for a nal vote.
The authors say California is one of only
six states that do not require a boating safe-
ty course.
Assemblywoman Bonnie Lowenthal, a
Long Beach Democrat, says ensuring opera-
tors have a basic understanding of boating
laws will improve waterway safety.
But Assemblyman Curt Hagman, a
Republican from Chino Hills, called the bill
an unnecessary expansion of state govern-
ment that would not apply to people from
out of state.

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama is considering key
changes in the nations immigra-
tion system requested by tech,
industry and powerful interest
groups, in a move that could blunt
Republicans election-year criti-
cism of the presidents go-it-alone
approach to immigration.
Administration officials and
advocates said the steps would go
beyond the expected relief from
deportations for some immigrants
in the U.S. illegally that Obama
signaled hed adopt after immigra-
tion efforts in Congress collapsed.
Following a bevy of recent White
House meetings, top ofcials have
compiled specific recommenda-
tions from business groups and
other advocates whose support
could undercut GOP claims that
Obama is exceeding his authority
to help people who have already
violated immigration laws.
The president has not made a
decision regarding next steps, but
he believes its important to under-
stand and consider the full range of
perspectives on potential solu-
tions, said White House
spokesman Shawn Turner.
One of the more popular requests
among business and family groups
is a change in the way green cards
are counted that would essentially
free up some 800,000 additional
visas the rst year, advocates say.
The result would be threefold: It
would lessen the visa bottleneck
for business seeking global talent;
shorten the green card line for
those being sponsored by rela-
tives, a wait that can stretch nearly
25 years; and potentially reduce
the incentive for illegal immigra-
tion by creating more legal
avenues for those wanting to
come, as well as those already
here.
Obamas aides have held more
than 20 meetings in recent months
with business groups and other
interest groups to discuss possi-
bilities, ahead of an announcement
about next steps the president is
expected to make in September.
Coordinating these listening ses-
sions, as the White House calls
them, is its Office of Public
Engagement, led by top Obama
adviser Valerie Jarrett.

WASHINGTON Janet Yellen
has won credit for guiding the
Federal Reserves rst six months
of transition from the Ben
Bernanke era. Bernankes Fed had
steered the economy through a
deep crisis by slashing interest
rates and restor-
ing confidence
in banks.
Yellen has so
far carried on
his approach
with barely a
hiccup.
She may one
day recall her
rst six months as a too-brief hon-
eymoon.
The perilous question that now
awaits Yellens Fed has put
investors on nervous alert: Can it
manage to raise rates from record
lows without weakening the U.S.
economy or spooking markets?
Or, conversely, will it wait too
long to raise rates, causing the
economy to overheat and ination
to surge?
No one knows. Which helps
explain the anticipation surround-
ing Yellens speech Friday at the
economic conference sponsored
every August in Jackson Hole,
Wyoming, by the Federal Reserve
Bank of Kansas City. Given that
this years topic is labor markets,
Yellen is sure to spell out her latest
assessment of the U.S. job market.
Whatever she says or, per-
haps, doesnt say will shape
perceptions of when and how
aggressively the Fed will raise
rates.
Yellen has frequently character-
ized the job market as weaker than
the unemployment rate suggests.

Report: Firefighting
costs eroding conservation
WASHINGTON The Obama administra-
tion detailed on Wednesday the toll that the
escalating cost of ghting forest res has
had on other projects as it pushes Congress
to overhaul how it pays for the most severe
blazes.
In a new report, the Agriculture
Department said that stafng for ghting
res has more than doubled since 1998.
Meanwhile, the number of workers who
manage National Forest System lands has
dropped by about a third.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said
that accommodating the rapid rise in re-
ghting costs has harmed an array of con-
servation efforts. For example, spending
that helps restore vegetation and water-
sheds after a re has fallen 22 percent since
2001. Another program that partners with
states and private landowners to conserve
wildlife habitat has been cut by 17 percent
during that same period.
The biggest hit has occurred with the
maintenance of thousands of recreational
sites and buildings managed by the U.S.
Forest Service, Vilsack said. Spending on
maintenance has decreased by two-thirds.
Thats created, literally, a multi-billion
dollar backlog of unfullled maintenance,
which obviously over time is going to cost
us additional resources, Vilsack said. It
really does speak to the need for a new and
different way of funding res, particularly
those more intense, more expensive res.
High court blocks
same-sex unions in Virginia
RICHMOND, Va. Same-sex couples
will have to forget their plans to marry in
Virginia at least for now after the U.S.
Supreme Court agreed Wednesday to delay an
appeals court ruling striking down the
states gay marriage ban.
The nations highest court granted a
request from a county clerk in northern
Virginia to delay a decision by the 4th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond that
would have allowed for same-sex couples to
marry beginning Thursday morning. The
state would have also had to start recogniz-
ing gay marriages from out of state if the
Supreme Court had denied the request. The
court provided no explanation for its order.
The Supreme Courts decision was not
unexpected, as it previously issued an order
in January putting same-sex unions on hold
in Utah. Afederal appeals court had upheld a
decision striking down Utahs ban. Most
other federal court decisions in favor of
same-sex marriage also have been put on
hold.

ST. LOUIS Attorney General Eric
Holder sought Wednesday to reassure the
people of Ferguson about the investiga-
tion into Michael Browns death and said
he understands why many black Americans
do not trust police, recalling how he was
repeatedly stopped by officers who seemed
to target him because of his race.
Holder made the remarks during a visit to
the St. Louis suburb that has endured more
than a week of unrest fueled by the fatal
shooting of the black 18-year-old by a
white officer. The Obama administration
intended the trip to underscore its commit-
ment to civil rights in general and the
Ferguson case in particular.
The attorney general described how he
was stopped twice on the New Jersey
Turnpike and accused of speeding. Police
searched his car, going through the trunk
and looking under the seats.
I remember how humiliating that was
and how angry I was and the impact it had
on me, Holder said during a meeting with
about 50 community leaders at the
Florissant campus of St. Louis Community
College.
Holder also met with federal officials
investigating Michael Browns Aug. 9
death and with Browns parents.
While living in the Georgetown neigh-
borhood of Washington, Holder was once
running to catch a movie with his cousin
when a squad car rolled up and flashed its
lights at the pair. The officer yelled,
Where are you going? Hold it! Holder
recalled.
His cousin started mouthing off, and
Holder urged him to be quiet.
We negotiate the whole thing, and we
walk to our movie. At the time that he
stopped me, I was a federal prosecutor. I
wasnt a kid, he said.
Holder also met briefly with Missouri
State Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson,
who has been in charge of security in the
community for nearly a week. The National
Guard has also been called in to help keep
the peace.

WASHINGTON The political tilt of the
Senate during President Barack Obamas
nal two years in ofce is likely to hinge on
a handful of female contenders in tight and
costly races.
Donors and fundraisers are catching on.
Five female Senate contenders recently
created a joint fundraising committee, Blue
Senate 2014, to appeal to donors.
Separately, former New York Mayor Michael
Bloomberg last month wrote a $2 million
check to a political committee linked to
Emilys List, the biggest player helping
elect women to ofce.
So far this election cycle, donors have
handed over $46 million to a collection of
political committees and candidates linked
to Emilys List, which backs female con-
tenders who support abortion rights. The
Emilys List network of committees raised
more than most other outside groups, includ-
ing the GOP-backed American Crossroads
and the anti-tax Club for Growth.
According to campaign nance documents
led Tuesday, one of the newest benefactors
for Emilys List was Bloomberg. The bil-
lionaire former mayor gave to Women Vote,
the super PAC run by the group.
The check put the mayors giving to all
super PACs this cycle at $11 million, and
Bloombergs total tally was likely to grow
after Wednesday deadline for many groups to
disclose their July fundraising.
But Bloombergs donations reect just
how tight the contest to control the Senate
next year is shaping up to be and why
women could be a decisive force behind
Democratic efforts to defend their Senate
majority.

WASHINGTON American ghter jets and
drones continued to pound Islamic State mili-
tants in Iraq on Wednesday, and military plan-
ners weighed the possibility of sending a
small number of additional U.S. troops to
Baghdad, U.S. ofcials said, even as the insur-
gents threatened to kill a second American
captive in retribution for any continued
attacks.
The airstrikes came in the hours after mili-
tants released a gruesome video Tuesday show-
ing U.S. journalist James Foley being behead-
ed and underscored President Barack Obamas
vow Wednesday afternoon to continue attacks
against the group despite its threats.
According to a senior U.S. ofcial, the num-
ber of additional troops currently under discus-
sion would be fewer than 300, but there has
been no nal decision yet by Pentagon lead-
ers. Ofcials said that the forces were request-
ed by the State Department and, if approved,
would mainly provide extra security around
Baghdad.
The 14 latest airstrikes were in the area of
the Mosul Dam and were aimed at helping Iraqi
and Kurdish forces create a buffer zone at the
key facility. The strikes, which now total 84
since operations began, have helped Iraqi and
Kurdish troops reclaim the dam from the insur-
gents.
The militants threatened to kill Steven
Sotloff, an American journalist who is also
being held captive, if the U.S. continued to
conduct airstrikes.
The ofcials were not authorized to discuss
the ongoing operations publicly and spoke
on condition of anonymity.
It was not clear Wednesday if Obama would
have to adjust his recent notications to
Congress under the War Powers Act to accom-
modate the higher U.S. troop level in Iraq if
more soldiers and Marines are deployed.
U.S. official: More airstrikes in Iraq

WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama sent special operations troops to
Syria this summer on a secret mission to
rescue American hostages, including jour-
nalist James Foley, held by Islamic State
extremists, but they did not find them,
the administration disclosed Wednesday.
Officials said the rescue mission was
authorized after intelligence agencies
believed they had identified the location
inside Syria where the hostages were
being held. But the several dozen special
operations forces dropped by aircraft into
Syria did not find them at that location
and engaged in a firefight with Islamic
State militants before departing, killing
several militants. No Americans died but
one sustained a minor injury when an air-
craft was hit.
The U.S. government had what we
believed was sufficient intelligence, and
when the opportunity presented itself,
the president authorized the Department
of Defense to move aggressively to
recover our citizens, said Lisa Monaco,
Obamas top counterterrorism adviser, in
a statement. Unfortunately, that mission
was ultimately not successful because the
hostages were not present.
The administration revealed the rescue
operation a day after the militants
released a video showing the beheading
of Foley and threatened to kill a second
hostage, Steven Sotloff, if U.S.
airstrikes against the militants in Iraq
continued.

Social media pushes
back at militant propaganda
BEIRUT The extremists of the Islamic
State group have turned their social media
into a theater of horror, broadcasting a
stomach-turning stream of battles, bomb-
ings and beheadings to a global audience.
The strategy is aimed at terrorizing oppo-
nents at home and winning recruits abroad.
But there are increasing signs of pushback
both from companies swiftly censoring
objectionable content and users determined
not to let it go viral.
Public disgust with the groups callous
propaganda tactics was evident following
the groups posting of the beheading video
of American journalist James Foley chill-
ing footage that spread rapidly when it
appeared online late Tuesday.
The slickly edited video begins with
scenes of Obama explaining his decision to
order airstrikes in Iraq, before switching to
Foley in an orange jumpsuit kneeling in the
desert, a black-clad Islamic State ghter by
his side.
Militants use British
killer as propaganda
LONDON Islamic militants are using a
beheading video to send a chilling message
not just through the gruesome act, but
also by the choice of messenger.
The black-clad ghter who appears to kill
journalist James Foley speaks with an
English accent, underscoring the insur-
gents increasing use of Western militants to
mobilize recruits, terrify opponents and
project the image of a global force.
He is the latest in a string of international
jihadis Britons, Australians, Chechens,
Chinese and Indonesians to appear in
propaganda for the Islamic State group.
They like to suggest they have a presence
around the world much stronger than it is,

Martins beach is

Editor,
Like Steven Howard in his letter
The issue of private property (in
the Aug. 15 edition of the Daily
Journal), I too am in 100 percent
favor for Vinod Khosla, the present
owner of Martins Beach. I dont
understand why Sen. Jerry Hill or
anybody else should have any say to
whether or not this beach should have
public access.
This property was for sale and
obviously the powers that be
passed on the property. Well, too bad.
The owner is Vinod Khosla. He does
not want nor does he have to allow
public access.
This is completely absurd. What
gives the rights to legislation sole-
ly based on a prior owners generosi-
ty versus (more importantly) the
rights of Vinod Khosla, who pur-
chased the beautiful Martins beach as
his own personal and private proper-

We are not in a tug of war
Editor,
Joseph Jaafaris article Patients in
tug-of-war over end-of-life care (in
the Aug. 18 edition of the Daily
Journal) infers that care for our coun-
tys older adults is all about the
money. Nothing could be further from
the truth. What care for our clients is
about is county staff and health care
providers working collaboratively
with families to provide the right care
at the right place and the right time.
In addition to Adult Protective
Services (APS), In-Home Supportive
Services (IHSS) helps older adults and
adults with disabilities to remain
safely in their home in the communi-
ty of their choice as an alternative to
out-of-home care. Jaafari implies that
doctor compensation improves with
Medicare reimbursement, when in fact
doctors are not compensated based on
the amount of Medicare the county
receives. We are not in a tug-of-war.
County staff, health care providers,
family members and the community
are all pulling together to help ensure
a quality of life for our older adult
clients: one where they can get the
care they need to remain safely at
home.

Rebuttal to Bischoff letter
Editor,
I am writing to correct several inac-
curacies in a letter from Ms. Bischoff
concerning parking at College of San
Mateo (CSM parking blues in the
Aug. 15 edition of the Daily Journal).
First, the college does have an ade-
quate number of parking spaces for
students. Parking is unusually heavy
during the rst week of classes as stu-
dents are arranging or rearranging
their schedule of classes; the college
has implemented several measures to
ease the parking burden during this
time. As a result, we have been able
to accommodate all student parking
even during times of peak demand.
Second, with the exception of illegal
parking in disabled spaces and park-
ing in staff lots, the college does not
ticket or tow student vehicles during
the rst two weeks of the semester.
Third, Ms. Bischoff mistakenly
assumes that the warning sent to stu-
dents about parking in lots belong-
ing to private business are parking
lots on campus. They are not we
have been contacted by several busi-
nesses adjacent to the college which
have asked us to warn students not to
park in their employee parking lots
or they may be towed by the busi-
nesses not by the college.

C
alifornia voters hoping to
use the November ballot box
to express disgust about cor-
ruption in the state Legislature wont
get the chance to do so this year
because of a missed deadline by
you guessed it the Legislature.
Senate Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg
had pushed a bill that would have
placed a constitutional amendment on
the fall ballot to ask whether voters
want to continue paying the salary
and benets of legislators who are
suspended by their colleagues for
inappropriate or illegal behavior.
Well go out on a limb here and
speculate that they do not.
Steinberg had pushed the bill
through the Senate rather easily last
May, but the Assembly, somehow,
couldnt manage to nd the time to
get to it before the deadline to place
items on the November ballot had
passed. To paraphrase Gov. Jerry
Browns famous remark, well, you
know, stuff happens. Or doesnt, in
this case
To be fair, the issue is of much
greater moment in the Senate. Last
March, the Senate took the unprece-
dented step of suspending Sens. Rod
Wright, Ron Calderon and Leland Yee,
all of whom had been charged with
crimes.
In fact, Wright, D-Baldwin Hills,
had already been found guilty by a Los
Angeles jury of perjury and voter fraud
and was awaiting nal determination.
Calderon, D-Montebello, and Yee,
D-San Francisco/San Mateo, both
face federal bribery charges that
stemmed from separate FBI sting
operations. The charges against
Calderon detail a fairly run-of-the-
mill political bribery case. But the
ones against Yee were really quite
spectacular, alleging that he was
involved neck deep in an illegal gun-
running operation through shady con-
tacts in the Philippines.
Steinberg knew that the public was
furious about the apparent corruption,
so he and his colleagues voted to sus-
pend all three members. In doing so,
however, it was discovered that there
was no provision in the state consti-
tution that allows revocation of the
senators salaries and benet s.
Again, the public outrage and con-
demnation was swift and loud.
As a small gesture designed to
begin repairing the Senates broken
image, Steinberg carried the constitu-
tional amendment himself. But his
colleagues in the Assembly rebuffed
him by not acting on the bill.
Steinberg has asked the Assembly
to consider the bill anyway before the
fast-approaching end of this years
session. His spokesman says that he
wants it passed so that the amendment
can make it on to the 2016 ballot.
It is a smart move because
Steinberg is termed out and will be
leaving the Senate at the end of this
session. If it isnt passed this year,
we doubt seriously it ever will be.
Assembly must put corruption bill on ballot
Kicking the bucket
T
he groups fundraising for cancer, Parkinsons
Disease, HIV, Alzheimers and unwanted pup-
pies must be kicking themselves for not dream-
ing up the ice bucket challenge.
The fundraising phenomena benefiting ALS amy-
otrophic lateral sclerosis for the formal minded, Lou
Gehrigs disease for the rest of us continues to
spread like wildfire. Every day bring a new batch of
celebrities participating, daring others and sharing the
footage of their icy bravery through social media and
entertainment news outlets.
For the uninitiated, the challenge works like this. A
person is challenged to video record themselves having
a bucket of ice water
dumped over their head.
The participant is then
able to challenge others
who have 24 hours to
either accept or donate
$100 to ALS Association.
Participants still donate
$10 even if they partici-
pate although the cool
kids take challenge and
still pony up the full
$100.
Part wet T-shirt contest.
Part double dog dares from
childhood. Part yet anoth-
er thing to Tweet and
post .
But it all adds up to a huge windfall. The ALS
Association announced this week it received nearly $16
million in donations from both new and existing
donors between July 29 to Aug. 18. In comparison, it
received only $1.8 million in that same span last year.
And frankly, it is really no surprise the challenge has
grabbed the publics attention. It certainly beats the
standard marathon and ribbon campaigns.
The snowball effect doesnt appear in danger of melt-
ing anytime soon. Numbers yesterday placed donations
at more than $31 million. Chances are lots of everyday
people are participating but it is the household names
getting all the attention. President Barack Obama and
former first lady Laura Bush graciously bowed out by
writing checks but others are all over it. Some use it as
an opportunity to flex some ab muscles or wear a biki-
ni. Others opt for costumes. Soon there will be more
who havent been challenged than those whove man-
aged to dodge the dare. The cynical view is that many of
these celebrities are taking the challenge as much to
raise their profile as to raise money. Call it the ice
bucket selfie. The optimistic perspective is that self-
promotion doesnt matter if it also promotes awareness
of incurable disease. Chances are a great number of peo-
ple didnt even know what ALS is before the masses
began jumping on the ice bucket bandwagon.
All of this unexpected publicized effort is great to
some degree. ALS is far from a picnic and the more
funding the better to find a cure. Nobody should
begrudge its accomplishments, even those water con-
servation supporters trying to shame California partici-
pants amid the drought.
But what about the other worthwhile causes? What if
somebody challenged to receive the icy shower would
prefer their donation and attention benefit a different
need like leukemia or sickle cell anemia? People are in
a way being forced to support ALS over possibly a more
pet mission or risk looking like a complete jerk. The
issue isnt that ALS isnt deserving; it is just that it
isnt alone in that distinction.
Would it be so bad to take the moment of this ice
bucket challenge and expand it beyond ALS so that an
individual can choose the cause of their choice? The
person taking on the challenge can pick for themselves
or perhaps the person daring others can do so. In either
case, the goodwill isnt pigeonholed into one box.
The ALS ice bucket challenge is the perfect feel-good
hit of the summer. So much more fun than the Kony
2012 Invisible Children push. And it wont clash with
other fashion like a LiveStrong bracelet. Lets just
hope all the focus on this particular cause doesnt mean
others looking for help receive a chilly reception.

NEW YORK The stock market
rose for a third straight day Wednesday
despite a report from the Federal
Reserve that showed a growing chorus
of central bank ofcials willing to
raise interest rates sooner rather than
later.
In the bond market, prices fell and
yields rose as investors prepared
themselves for higher interest rates.
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 59.54 points, or 0.4 percent, to
16, 979. 13. The Standard & Poors
500 index rose 4.91 points, or 0.3
percent, to 1,986.51, less than two
points away from its late-July record
close of 1,987.98.
The Nasdaq composite was mostly
unchanged on the day, falling 1.03
points, less than 0.1 percent, to
4, 526. 48.
The majority of Fed policymakers
believe the U.S. economy is improv-
ing enough that the bank should start
considering how its going to start
raising interest rates, according to
minutes from the banks latest meet-
i ng.
The debate on when the Fed should
raise interest rates, which have been
near zero since 2008, has intensied in
recent months as the central bank winds
down its other economic stimulus.
The Fed has been winding down its
bond-buying program since
December, and is expected to end it
completely before the end of the year.
Despite worries that the Feds exit
might be a net negative for the mar-
ket, stocks have remained resilient.
The S&P 500 is up 7.5 percent this
year.
Jonathan Corpina, a oor trader at
the New York Stock Exchange with
Meridian Equity Partners, said
investors are prepared to see the Fed
raise interest rates.
Weve been talking about raising
interest rates for so long, I dont think
the Fed is going to surprise anybody
when they nally do it, Corpina said.
The Feds key short-term interest
rate inuences the prices of a huge
array of investments, including
Treasuries, other kinds of bonds and
stocks. If the Fed were to raise interest
rates, investors would demand higher
yields on bonds.
The Fed minutes prompted some
investors to sell bonds. The yield on
the U.S. 10-year Treasury note rose to
2.43 percent from 2.40 percent the
day before. Bond yields rise when
prices fall.
Trading has been quiet this week as
the summer winds down and with many
traders on vacation. Tuesday was the
third-slowest trading day of the year
and Wednesday was 12th-slowest day.
On Friday, Fed Chair Janet Yellen
will give a speech at the banks annu-
al conference in Jackson Hole,
Wyoming. The speech is often a venue
where the leader of the Fed lays out
major policy decisions.
Janet Yellens speech in Jackson
Hole will most likely guide the mar-
kets (now that) earnings season is
winding down, Doug Cote, chief mar-
ket strategist with Voya Investment
Management, said.

WASHINGTON How much will Bank of
Americas expected $17 billion mortgage
settlement cost the company? The answer
is, almost certainly not that much.
In mega-settlements negotiated with the
government, a dollar is rarely worth an actu-
al dollar.
Inated gures make sensational head-
lines for the Justice Department, and $17
billion would be the largest settlement by
far arising from the economic meltdown in
which millions of people in the United
States lost their homes to foreclosure. But
the true cost to companies is often obscured
by potential tax deductions and opaque
accounting techniques.
The expected Bank of America settlement
will resolve allegations that the bank and
companies it later bought misrepresented
the quality of loans they sold to investors.
Most of the problem loans were sold by
Merill Lynch and Countrywide Financial
before Bank of America bought them during
the 2008 nancial crisis. To settle the gov-
ernments claims against the three compa-
nies, Bank of America will pay $9.65 bil-
lion in cash and provide consumer relief
valued at $7 billion, according to ofcials
who spoke on condition of anonymity
because the deal isnt scheduled to be
announced until Thursday at the earliest.
Bank of America declined comment on
any settlement-related topics Wednesday.
Whether cash payments are structured as
penalties or legal settlements can determine
whether targeted companies can declare
them as tax-deductible business expenses.
Also, consumer relief is an amorphous cost
category: If Bank of Americas deal resem-
bles the departments previous settlements
with JPMorgan and Citigroup, that part
could be less costly to the company than the
huge gures suggest.
Some of the relief will, in fact, come in
the form of cash donated to community
organizations or, in Citis case, lending
money to affordable housing projects at
below-market rates. But much of the relief
will come from modifying loans that the
banks have already concluded could not be
recovered in full.

SAN FRANCISCO Apples stock
touched a new high Wednesday, reecting
investors renewed faith in CEO Tim Cooks
ability to outwit the competition and
expand the technological hit factory built
by the late Steve Jobs.
The milestone represents a dramatic turn-
around in sentiment since Apples shares
reached its previous split-adjusted peak of
$100.72 in September 2012. After hitting
$101. 09 Wednesday afternoon, shares
closed up 4 cents at $100.57. That gave
Apple a market value of $602 billion by
far more than any other publicly held com-
pany.
Apples stock had fallen to a split-adjust-
ed $55.01 in April 2013 to wipe out about
$300 billion in shareholder wealth amid
worries that the Cupertino, California, com-
pany had run out of ideas without Jobs as its
mastermind. The anxiety escalated as sales
of iPhones and iPads slowed amid the grow-
ing popularity of less expensive smart-
phones and tablet computers made by
Samsung Electronics and other rivals rely-
ing on Googles free Android software.
Now, there are signs that Samsungs
devices are losing momentum while Apple
prepares to release the next version of its
iPhone this fall and investors wait for Cook
to deliver on his promise to introduce a
product that will open up new opportuni-
ties.
Apples stock bounces back to hit a new high
UPS says 51 retail stores
breached by malware
Some customers of The UPS Store may
have had their credit and debit card informa-
tion exposed by a computer virus found on
systems at 51 stores in 24 states.
Aspokeswoman for UPS says the informa-
tion includes names, card numbers and
postal and email addresses from about
100,000 transactions between Jan. 20 and
Aug. 11.
United Parcel Service Inc. said Wednesday
that it was among U.S. retailers who got a
Department of Homeland Security bulletin
about the malware on July 31. The malware
is not identied by current anti-virus soft-
ware.
The company is not aware of any fraud
related to the attack, spokeswoman Chelsea
Lee said.
Atlanta-based UPS said it hired a security
rm that found the virus in systems at about
1 percent of the companys 4,470 franchised
locations. At many stores, the intrusion did
not begin until March or April.
Lee said that the problem was xed by
Aug. 11 and the company took additional
steps to protect systems at other stores. She
said the affected stores were not linked elec-
tronically, and UPS is still investigating
how they were compromised.
UPS said it is providing identity protec-
tion and credit monitoring help to affected
customers.

Burlingame, last season, was about as
good of a fourth-place girls volleyball team
as youre going to nd.
Despite nishing with a 7-6 record in
Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division
play, the Lady Panthers took division cham-
pion Woodside to ve sets in each of the
teams two matchups. Burlingame also man-
aged to split its season series with second-
place Menlo-Atherton. The Panthers ulti-
mately advanced to the Central Coast
Section Division III seminals for just the
third time in program history.
But the Panthers lost a trio of senior
starters from that team setter Isabel
Walker and outside hitters Morgan
McKeever and Bianca Alvarez forcing
head coach Nilo Mauricio to retool at three
key skill positions.
This year, were a more well-balanced
team, I think, Mauricio said. Last year we
leaned on our outsides a lot. This year, we
have to be more well-balanced, just because
we dont have the dominant outsides we had
last year to bail us out.
Mauricio has met the task by reshufi ng
his front line. The plan is to move Tatum
Novitzky from opposite hitter and Dana
Williams from middle blocker to ll the
void at outside hitter.
Each 5-11 seniors, Novitzky and
Williams possess kill-shot prowess. From
Burlingame retooled and ready to go
L
it up. Blasted. Smoked. Ear holed.
All these words and phrases are
used to describe those hits on the
football eld that lead to oohs and
gasps from the crowd.
Expect to see fewer of those this sea-
son and when they do occur, fans and
coaches had best
brace themselves for
personal foul penal-
ties and even possi-
ble ejections.
Tuesday at the annual
Peninsula Athletic
League football
coaches preseason
meeting, representa-
tives of the Northern
California Football
Ofcials Association
were on hand to inform the coaches that
they have been told to crack down, espe-
cially, on two types of plays that usually
draw the biggest reaction from the side-
lines and fans: targeting opposing play-
ers and clocking defenseless players.
Youve seen these types of plays where
a defender launches himself at the ball
carrier or any opposing player for
that matter and makes a huge, teeth-
rattling tackle. The other instance is a
player being blindsided by an opponent
after he is already out of the play, or the
wide receiver who goes for a pass that
sails over his head.
If a player lights him up, there will be a
penalty and then it is up to the ofcials
discretion to determine if the play was
premeditated. If that is the case, the
offending player faces an ejection.
You knew it was coming, said Steve

Fullback Marcel Reece,who has been a fan favorite since coming to Oakland,injured his right foot during last weeks preseason game against
Detroit. Tests performed Monday indicated the injury wasnt as bad as rst feared and he should be at full strength for the season opener.
By Josh Dubow
ALAMEDA Oakland Raiders fullback
Marcel Reece escaped a scare when an injury
to his right foot was not as signicant as
initially feared and he expects to be at full
strength when the season opens next
month.
Reece was a full participant at practice on
Wednesday, two days after undergoing an
MRI on the foot he injured during last
weeks preseason game against Detroit.
Reece would not disclose the ofcial diag-
nosis of the injury, calling it only a foot
issue.
Reece has missed just four games because
of injury since becoming Oaklands regular
fullback in 2010 and said he never wants to
be off the eld. He admitted to some concern
that he may need to miss some time before
getting the encouraging news earlier this
week.
It was a sigh of relief to know that it was-
nt as serious as they thought initially,
Reece said. It was denitely a sigh of relief.
Its been feeling better every day. I had that
one day of rest and its amazing what one
day of rest will do for you when you havent
had one in a while.
Reece hurt his foot early in last Fridays
game and initially tried to continue playing
before it became too painful. X-rays after
the game were negative but Reece was forced
to leave practice early on Sunday when he
didnt feel quite right.
He underwent an MRI on Monday and was

CHICAGO The San Francisco Giants on
Wednesday became the rst team since 1986
to win a protest led with Major League
Baseball, and will now get to resume a rain-
shortened game the Chicago Cubs thought
they had won.
MLB executive Joe Torre ruled on Tuesday
nights game at Wrigley Field that was
called after 4 1-2 innings. The Cubs were
declared the winners by a 2-0 score.
Now, it is instead a suspended game that
will resume at 2:05 p.m. PDT Thursday with
the Cubs batting in the bottom of the fth.
The playoff-contending Giants and Chicago
have a regularly scheduled game set to begin
three hours later.
A short rainstorm caused a delay of more
than 4 1-2 hours Tuesday after the grounds
crew couldnt put the tarp down quickly. The
umpires said the eld was unplayable and
called it at 1:16 a.m.
MLB ruled that tarp had not been properly
put away after its previous use. Therefore,
under provisions of Ofcial Baseball Rule
4.12 (a) (3) there a malfunction of a
mechanical eld device under control of the
home club.
We appreciate Major League Baseballs
careful review of our protest that will allow
last nights game to be continued tomor-
row, Giants President Larry Baer said in a
statement.

CHICAGO Jake Peavy pitched
seven solid innings in his fth start
with San Francisco, and the Giants
rolled past the Chicago Cubs 8-3 on
Wednesday, hours after they won a
protest regarding a rain-shortened loss
from the night before.
Hunter Pence and Andrew Susac
homered, and Travis Ishikawa drove in
three runs with pair of doubles among
three hits to help the Giants strength-
en their hold on an NL wild card spot.
Peavy (2-3) has won two straight
after losing his rst three starts with
San Francisco following a July 26
trade from Boston where he was 1-9.
He allowed 10 hits, struck out eight
and walked none. Chris Valaikas two-
run homer in the second inning account-
ed for the only runs against him.
The Cubs Luis Valbuena added a solo
homer and a triple in going 3 for 4.
Struggling starter Edwin Jackson (6-14)
was hit hard in just 2 2-3 innings, his
shortest outing of the season. He allowed
seven runs, eight hits and two walks.
Jackson has lost seven of eight decisions.
Before the game, the Giants won
their protest led with Major League
Baseball over Tuesday nights rain-
shortened loss that was called in
the fth inning.
A problem in getting the tarp
onto the eld caused unplayable
conditions, and the game was
ruled a 2-0 Cubs win after a delay
of over four hours.
MLB ruled the tarp hadnt been
properly put away after its previous
use, and therefore there was a mal-
function of a mechanical eld device
under control of the home club.
MLB said this was the rst suc-
cessful protest since 1986.
The suspended game will be
completed on Thursday before the
regularly scheduled game between
the teams.
On Wednesday, the Giants
jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the rst
inning as ve of their rst six bat-
ters reached base. Ishikawa drove
in two runs with his rst double to
cap the outburst.
Ishikawa doubled in another run
in the third and scored on Susacs
first career homer as San
Francisco opened a 7-2 lead.
Pence led off the fourth against
Carlos Villenueva with his 17th
homer of this season to make it 8-2.
Notes: The suspended game will
resume on Thursday with the Cubs bat-
ting in the bottom of the 5th inning
and leading 2-0.

OAKLAND This is a week when the
Oakland Athletics could really use some
momentum. The rst-place Los Angeles
Angels are coming to the Coliseum for a key
weekend series in the heart of the stretch run.
Instead, the As are still searching for
answers to their funk and settled for a split
with the New York Mets in their quick two-
game interleague series following
Wednesdays 8-5 loss.
We have an off day tomorrow to clear our
heads, manager Bob Melvin said. We know
it will be an exciting series and a big series
coming up. It should be a big crowd and so
forth, so you should be able to move past what
is a difcult period for us right now and play
for the moment.
Lucas Duda hit a three-run homer, and Eric
Campbell also connected against Jeff
Samardzija (3-3).
Zack Wheeler (9-8) allowed two earned runs
while working 5 2-3 solid innings. Wheeler is
6-0 with a 2.12 ERA over his nine outings
since June 30. The As chased him after two
innings in the shortest start of his career on
June 25.
The right-hander and former San Francisco
Giants top prospect improved to 4-1 in his
last 10 road starts.
Jeurys Familia relieved Vic Black with the
bases loaded and one out in the eighth and
walked in a run but avoided further damage. He
nished for his fourth save.
Campbell and Duda homered during a ve-
run third against Samardzija (3-3).
Samardzija had been unbeaten in ve previ-
ous starts at the Coliseum. Instead, he was
done after 3 2-3 innings.
Usually your team gets you ve runs it ends
in a victory, Samardzija said. A big game
today and I didnt do my part. It stings.
The As closed to 5-2 in the third on consec-
utive RBI doubles by Coco Crisp and John
Jaso. New York added on in the fourth with
RBI singles from Curtis Granderson and
Daniel Murphy.
Samardzija cruised through a 10-pitch rst
inning and got through the second unscathed.
Acquired in a July 4 trade from the Cubs, he
has never beaten the Mets in nine appearances
and three starts.
Its just having trouble putting guys
away, Samardzija said. Probably as simple
as that.
Oakland lost for the eighth time in 10
games. The As returned home from a 1-6 road
trip through Kansas City and Atlanta in which
they lost their last ve.
Murphys two-run elding error aided the As
in the fourth. He nearly had the ball, but it
skipped off his glove and then he inadvertent-
ly kicked it.
Trainers room
Athl eti cs: Inelder Nick Punto, sidelined
with a strained right hamstring, is in the
beginning stages of running. Its feeling
good. The strength is getting back in there,
Punto said. Third baseman Josh Donaldson
had much of the day off because hes a little
bit tired right now, manager Bob Melvin
said. Donaldson entered as a pinch-hitter in
the seventh and had a leadoff single.
Up next
At hl et i cs: The As have their second off-
day in a four-day stretch before opening the
series with the Angels. The schedule
allowed Melvin to tweak his rotation and
use three top starters: Sonny Gray, Jon
Lester and Scott Kazmir. Gray is 0-4 in
August after his 6-0 July that earned him AL
Pitcher of the Month.
As stumble, must regroup with Angels coming

Sharks F Torres undergoes surgery on right knee
SAN JOSE San Jose Sharks forward Raf Torres will
miss the start of the upcoming season after undergoing
surgery for an infection in his previously surgically
repaired right knee.
General manager Doug Wilson announced the news
Wednesday, about one month before the start of training
camp.
Torres initially got hurt last preseason and underwent
surgery for a torn ACL. He returned in late February and
played ve games before sitting out the rest of the regular
season. Torres played hurt through a seven-game, rst-
round loss to Los Angeles in the playoffs.
Torres had three goals and two assists in the regular sea-
son and two goals and one assist in the playoffs.

SEATTLE Chris Wondolowski
tapped in a point-blank shot midway
through the 66th minute on Wednesday
night as the San Jose Earthquakes came
back from the worst lost in franchise
history to pull out a 1-1 draw against
the Seattle Sounders.
The Earthquakes (6-9-7) were com-
i ng off a 5-0 loss at home last
Saturday to FC Dallas.
Even with the draw, the Sounders (13-
7-3) climbed back into a tie for both the
Western Conference and overall top
spot in MLS. Seattle, West co-leader
Real Salt Lake and East leader Sporting
Kansas City all have 42 points.
Chad Barrett scored for Seattle just
36 seconds into the second half. He
caught up with a long through ball
from Obafemi Martins, got behind
three defenders, and drilled a shot from
the top left side of the penalty area
into the far corner for his sixth of the
year.
Halftime substitution Cordell Cato
started San Joses scoring play when
he took the ball down the left wing
nearly to the goal line. He sent it
across the goalmouth to the far post,
and Wondolowski redirected it into a
wide-open net for his ninth goal of the
season and seventh all-time against
the Sounders.

Johnson hopes the 49ers have to give up a
third-round draft pick next year.
It would mean hed be a consistent con-
tributor to the Niners passing game this sea-
son.
Johnson, a San Francisco native, knows
there is plenty of opportunity ahead for any
number of receivers.
I think we all know the bulk of it will go
to (Michael) Crabtree and (Anquan) Bolden,
Johnson said Wednesday, before the 49ers
took the eld at Levis Stadium for their 20th
practice of the preseason.
Then theres the rest of us. Im not neces-
sarily thinking about who will be out there
at any given time. For me, its just when I
get the opportunity, lets make it work.
San Francisco offensive coordinator Greg
Roman indicated that any
decisions would be based
on that weeks matchup.
Its all about how does
that match up against a
particular team, Roman
said. We play quite a bit
of empty. We probably
used more tight forma-
tions than some people
and we havent lived in
three-wide receiver sets like some have. Itll
be very specic to us, our personnel, how it
matches up against the other team.
Johnson said he hasnt noticed any one
receiver getting more reps in the three and
four- receiver sets.
There are a lot of great players who can
make plays, Johnson said. The coaches
have done a good job of getting us all in the
rotation about the same.
Johnson was acquired by the 49ers from
the Buffalo Bills for a conditional fourth-
round pick that could become a third-round
pick depending on Johnsons playing time
this season. He spent seven years with the
Bills after being drafted in the seventh round
out of Kentucky.
Not everybody can be on the eld at the
same time, Johnson said. Every day is
another opportunity to get better.
The 49ers needed depth at the wide receiv-
er position and now seem to have plenty
available receivers.
Veterans Brandon Lloyd, who began his
career with the Niners in 2003, was coaxed
out of a one-year hiatus and Kassim Osgood,
in his 12th NFL season, starts his second
year with the team.
Quinton Patton, David Reed and Devon
Wylie all have NFL experience.
Ive always felt really good about our per-
sonnel, Roman said. I like where our wide
receivers are. I think theyre working hard
and theres a good chance that you see more
of them.
NOTES: The NFL voted Tuesday to add
two more players to the practice squad for
the next two years, giving each team 10. It
was a great decision by the National
Football League, Roman said. It just gives
more players a chance to develop. Selshly,
it gives us a chance to develop a couple extra
guys. ... Theres no timetable for RB
Marcus Lattimore, who is recovering from
two major knee surgeries in college, to
return to the active roster. He continues to
get worked out by the training staff. ... P
Andy Lee said hes the best golfer on the
team, except when I play at Spyglass (in
Pebble Beach). ... T Jonathan Martin will
likely see action at four positions along the
offensive line during exhibition play.
WR Stevie Johnson adds depth to 49ers
Stevie Johnson
the opposite hitter position last season,
Novitzky ranked third on the team with 174
kills. Williams, from the middle, paced the
squad with a 43.8 kill percentage and a .285
hitting percentage.
Offense is a big deal, Novitzky said.
Putting away kills, especially for me,
thats my strong suit.
Williams committed to the Division II
program at Point Loma Nazarene recog-
nizes the transition will be a tall task in tak-
ing over for McKeever, who happens to be
her rst cousin.
To pass and set and serve, thats some-
thing totally different, Williams said. I
have never done that before. Ive never had
any experience playing outside.
So, Williams after ranking fourth in
the Bay Division last season with 36
blocks set to work in the offseason
attending camps to develop her shooting
prowess.
I do think, with the exception of a few
loses we had from last season, we do still
have some core front-row players,
Williams said. For this season, were
going to keep it consistent and try to get
some hard swings in there because we have
strong outside setters.
Replacing Walker at the setter position
will indeed be the biggest loss for
Burlingame to overcome.
She was a leader, Novitzky said.
Everybody looked up to her. Especially at a
setting position, you have to call the
shots.
So, the Panthers are turning to Samantha
Johnson, who saw little playing time as
Walkers backup last season. Johnson
worked through the summer with her San
Francisco Juniors club team to develop the
chops necessary for the starting role. And
she was in good hands, as her coach Louie
Valiao was a one-time setter for the
Philippine Nationals team and played the
U.S. Air Force team from 1978-85. He is
now in his 25th year of coaching.
He really helped me get my hands better
and faster, Johnson said.
Wednesday marked the nal day of tryouts
for Burlingame, which saw upwards of 60
players turn out to audition for the programs
three squads: varsity, junior-varsity and
freshman.
The varsity team will carry 16 players:
Novitzky, Williams, Johnson, sophomore
Katie Karson, senior libero Brittany Carias,
junior Emily Drake, junior Amanda Miller,
senior Rachel Topper, sophomore Siobhan
Healy, sophomore Kyra Novitzky, junior
Stephanie Marks, sophomore Elena Mosse,
junior Kiley Spurlock, junior Ally
Langlinias, freshman Julia Haupt and fresh-
man Natalie Ballout.
I say we should nish top three (in the
PALBay Division), Mauricio said. I think
its Menlo-Atherton, Carlmont and us.
Burlingame opens non-league play Sept.
4 at Lowell High School.

Minnesotas Maya Moore has won the
WNBAmost valuable player award, a person
close to the situation told The Associated
Press on Wednesday night.
Moore will receive the award Thursday
night in Minnesota before the Lynx face
San Antonio in the rst game of the Western
Conference seminals. The person spoke to
The Associated Press late Wednesday night
on condition of anonymity because no of-
cial announcement has been made.
Its a great feeling to be recognized for
all the hard work that Ive put in, said
Moore when she was told in a phone inter-
view shed be winning the award. I think of
all the people who have helped me in my
journey as a basketball player. They should
be recognized with this award. It means so
much to have the respect of the people who
watch the game and love the game.
Phoenixs Diana Taurasi nished second
and Atlantas Angel McCoughtry was third,
the person said.
Maya is the Michael Jordan of this
league. Tulsa Shock coach Fred Williams
said after Moore had 32 points, nine
rebounds and ve assists
against his team in July.
Moore grew up idoliz-
ing Jordan and represents
his Nike brand.
When I think of
Michael Jordan, I think
of course of a winner,
someone who is a great
leader made his team-
mates better, Moore
said. He was super competitive, had a tire-
less work ethic. He was also great teammate
who made the players around him better. Its
a great compliment.
Its the rst league MVP award for Moore,
who led the league in scoring. She averaged
a career-best 23.9 points and set a WNBA
record by scoring at least 30 points 12
times, including in four straight games. The
scoring mark was the third-highest average
in league history only trailing Taurasis
25.3 points in 2006 and 24.1 points in
2008.
Moore nished second in the award vot-
ing last season before being named the
nals MVP. This year she guided the Lynx to
a 25-9 record and the No. 2 seed in the
Western Conference.

SEATTLE Forget about the NFC Worst.
Last year proved the NFC West is the deep-
est division in the NFL.
Whether it was San Francisco and Seattle,
the leagues best rivalry, meeting in the
NFC championship game, or the Seahawks
posting the most lopsided Super Bowl vic-
tory in two decades by routing Denver, the
prole of the NFC West is drastically differ-
ent from a few years ago.
NFC West depth goes beyond just the
Seahawks. The four teams combined to go
42-22 a year ago, the best of any division,
and could be that good again.
There are concerns for each team entering
2014. St. Louis must discover if Sam
Bradford can stay healthy. Arizona must
replace linebackers Daryl Washington and
Karlos Dansby, and defensive tackle Darnell
Dockett. San Francisco will play at least
half the season without All-Pro linebacker
NaVorro Bowman.
And Seattle must deal with the attention
and scrutiny that comes with being the
defending champ.
Theyre good, theyre the defending
champs. Theyre in our division, theres a
lot of motivation there, San Franciscos
Justin Smith said.
Here are some things to watch in the NFC
West:
Crown of thorns
Seattle has never been a champion. But
Pete Carroll has.
His blueprint for keeping the Seahawks
elite involved locking up All-Pros corner-
back Richard Sherman and safety Earl
Thomas, plus receiver Doug Baldwin to con-
tract extensions, re-signing DE Michael
Bennett, and never resting on what hap-
pened last season. The Seahawks also
avoided a contract dispute with RB
Marshawn Lynch and have seen glimpses of
the punch a healthy WR Percy Harvin could
add to their offense.
Their defense might not match the suffo-
cating numbers posted a year ago, but if
quarterback Russell Wilson and the offense
continues to evolve the Seahawks might
not need the best defense to remain atop the
division.
If youre going to have a good team
youre going to have to deal with these guys
and these good teams, so thats what were
faced with, Carroll said. Whoever comes
out on top of the division is really going to
be ready to play anybody.
Last exit
Just off Highway 101, the 49ers move into
their new palatial home this season Levis
Stadium replacing the outdated Candlestick
Park, and trying to regain their perch atop the
division.
QB Colin Kaepernick is locked up long-
term and he will have tight end Vernon Davis,
WRs Michael Crabtree, Anquan Boldin and
Stevie Johnson as targets all season. Frank
Gore and rookie Carlos Hyde will be the fea-
tured backs of an offense that again will rely
heavily on the run.
Defensively there are more concerns. The
secondary has been completely remodeled
since the Niners Super Bowl appearance two
seasons ago. Bowman likely wont be back
until at least midseason after a gruesome knee
injury in the NFC championship game and
there is no clarity on any discipline LB Aldon
Smith may face for off-eld troubles.
For us, we have been close. We did go one
year. Thats not good enough, we want to
bring it home, linebacker Patrick Willis said.
Man of the hour
The defense Jeff Fisher has built in St. Louis
is impressive. Whether the Rams can jump
into contention will fall onto the arm of
Bradford.
His status as the franchise quarterback for
St. Louis continues to be debated as Bradford
enters the nal year of his rookie contract. He
ourished early last season, completing 61
percent of his passes and 14 touchdown
throws before a knee injury ended his year
after seven games. The Rams added Kenny
Britt as another target for Bradford, and the
addition of rookie Greg Robinson should
solidify the left side of the offensive line.
Every year is a make it or break it year
according to someone, Bradford said.
St. Louis has a dominant front four on
defense with Chris Long, Robert Quinn,
Michael Brockers and the addition of rookie
Aaron Donald. But the secondary must
improve.
Big wave
Arizona was one of the hottest teams at the
end of last season after nally clicking under
coach Bruce Arians, winning seven of its nal
nine. The Cardinals also hold the distinction
of being the only team to win in Seattle since
2011 after knocking off the Seahawks in
Week 16.
Quarterback Carson Palmer has another year
in Arianssystem and Larry Fitzgerald remains
an elite pass catcher. Andre Ellington estab-
lished himself as Arizonas leading rusher
with 652 yards and three touchdowns his
rookie season.
But the Cardinals are struggling to replace
Dansby and Washington, and Dockett tearing
his ACL is another signicant loss. The sec-
ondary could be second best in the NFC
behind Seattle thanks to incumbent CB
Patrick Peterson and the additions of Antonio
Cromartie and rookie Deone Bucannon.
I really like the way our team battled
through the second half of the season, Arians
said. It makes this one more important and
easier to get started.

Seattle appears to be class of loaded NFC West
By Arnie Stapleton
As good as any division a year ago, the
AFC West is about to get tested.
Bigtime.
The AFC West sported three playoff teams
last season, with late-charging San Diego
and resurgent Kansas City joining Super
Bowl-bound Denver in the postseason.
The path to the playoffs in 2014 has a few
more potholes: The AFC West has to play
the NFC West, where the Super Bowl cham-
pion Seahawks, Cardinals, Rams and 49ers
boast some of the nastiest defenses the NFL
has to offer.
Denver is trying to become the rst team
in four decades to win a Super Bowl the year
after losing it, and GM John Elway suggest-
ed that facing this fearsome foursome will
benet the Broncos.
Youve got to be able to play physical
with physical teams, Elway said. And
thats always a goal is to be able to have a
team that physically can stay with every-
body in this league. Its a tough division
thats a very physical division, so thatll be
a great test for us.
And for the rest of the AFC West.
Here are some things to know about the
only division in the NFL that returns three
playoff teams in 2014:
No rest
Atop Elways wish list following that 43-
8 blistering by the Seahawks in the Super
Bowl was an edgier defense. Yes, like the
one that had just throttled the highest-scor-
ing team in NFL history. So, he committed
more than $100 million to add free agents
DeMarcus Ware, Aqib Talib and T.J. Ward,
then drafted Bradley Roby in the rst round.
Denvers record-breaking offense wasnt
spared, either. After throwing for more yards
and touchdowns than anyone in NFL histo-
ry, Peyton Manning had to say goodbye to
wide receiver Eric Decker and running back
Knowshon Moreno. Decker was replaced by
Emmanuel Sanders and rookie Cody
Latimer. Montee Ball moves up as the lead
back, running behind a retooled line that
sports 1,000 pounds of muscle in the middle
with Orlando Franklin sliding over from
right tackle to left guard.
Market correction?
After a fruitful rebuilding project under
new GM John Dorsey and coach Andy Reid
last year, the salary cap-tapped Chiefs
endured the price of that success. They
watched three starting offensive linemen
leave on the same day in free agency: Pro
Bowl left tackle Branden Albert and guards
Geoff Schwartz and Jon Asamoah. Also, Pro
Bowl punt returner Dexter McCluster signed
with Tennessee, and Pro Bowl cornerback
Brandon Flowers was released in a cost-sav-
ing move.
So, theyre counting on their rookie class
to make immediate contributions to help
them build off an 11-5 season that ended
with a playoff collapse at Indianapolis.
Still in search of their rst playoff victory
since 1993, the Chiefs also have to address
the futures of quarterback Alex Smith and
linebacker Justin Houston, two Pro Bowlers
entering the nal year of their contracts.
Quiet Chargers
Mike McCoy was just the right t to help
turn Philip Rivers career around.
Emboldened by a stunning win in Denver in
December, the Chargers won their nal four
games and got some big help from slumping
Miami and Baltimore and the ofcials
to end a three-season playoff drought. They
beat the Bengals on the road in the wild-card
round before losing the rematch at Denver.
After defensive breakdowns cost them the
chance for another upset over the Broncos,
the Chargers used three of their rst four draft
picks on defensive players. Theyre also get-
ting Dwight Freeney back. Now 34 and enter-
ing his 13th NFL season, Freeney comes off
a thigh injury that sidelined him after just
four games last season, his rst in San
Diego.
The Broncos offseason moves, however,
might have widened the gap too much for the
Chargers.
Reclamation Raiders
GM Reggie McKenzie enters Year 3 of try-
ing to get old mistakes off the Raidersbooks.
Hes hoping the route back to respectability
goes through the reclamation projects hes
added. Discarded or unwanted by their former
teams, players with a history of success in the
NFL have gathered in Oakland this year in
hopes of resurrecting their careers and ending
the Raiders 11-year playoff drought.
As a whole, were ghting for the same
thing, which is respect, said running back
Maurice Jones-Drew, no longer wanted in
Jacksonville. He joins fellow NFL discards
Matt Schaub, Justin Tuck, LaMarr Woodley,
Antonio Smith, Tarell Brown and Carlos
Rogers. But its a stretch to think they could
have a similar impact as the one Jerry Rice,
Rod Woodson and Bill Romanowski had in
helping Oakland win the 2002 AFC title.
Predicted order of ni s h: Denver;
Kansas City; San Diego; Oakland.
Broncos appear to be best of AFC West
By Tom Withers
BEREA, Ohio Brian Hoyer deed long
odds and stiff-armed Johnny Football
to keep his dream job.
Through sweat and tears, he fought his way
back from a serious knee injury only to be
faced with the Browns drafting Johnny
Manziel, college footballs dynamic quarter-
back with the cult-like following.
Hoyer, though, persevered. He endured gru-
eling rehab to get back on the eld sooner
than expected, stayed focused as
Manzielmania consumed the Browns, and
ignored trade rumors. It will be Hoyer who
will lead the Browns, his hometown team,
onto the eld for the Sept. 7 opener against
the archrival Pittsburgh Steelers.
For a Cleveland kid cut by three NFLteams
and waiting for his chance, it doesnt get any
better.
Obviously its very
special for me, Hoyer
said. Did I believe this
could happen after I got
hurt? There was no doubt
in my mind, but there were
days when rehab (stunk)
and I hated what I was
doing. Its amazing how
you appreciate the game
when its taken away from
you.
Needing to x his offense quickly, rst-
year Browns coach Mike Pettine chose
Hoyer as his starter Wednesday over Manziel,
who wasnt able to do enough during training
camp or two preseason games to convince
Clevelands coaching staff he deserved the
job.
Manziel is 0-1 as a pro.
Its obviously disappointing, Manziel
said. I feel like if I would have come out and
played better it would have been a different
outcome. I dont think I
played terrible, but I didnt
do anything to jump off
the page. I made strides
and got better throughout
training camp and thats
what I wanted to do.
Despite a 40 percent
completion percentage,
57.9 rating and seeming
to buckle under the pres-
sure this month, Hoyer
will start the season. However, in Cleveland
that usually only guarantees one game. After
all, the Browns have had 20 starting quarter-
backs since 1999. Hoyer is the 12th QB to
start the opener, a damning indictment
toward a franchise that has only made the
playoffs once in its expansion era.
The rst major decision of Pettines coach-
ing career wasnt easy. He chose Hoyers
experience over Manziels potential and he
may have to make another switch. Pettine
knows the best plans can change in an
instant.
Give me a crystal ball, and Ill tell you,
he said when asked if Manziel will play this
season. The NFLseason is so long, so much
can happen. We dont want Brian looking
over his shoulder thinking one bad throw and
Im out. But over time, if you feel you have to
make a change, time will only tell.
You could foresee a scenario where he
doesnt play this year and there are other sce-
narios that are absolutely possible as well.
Its hard to tell.
Pettine brushed aside the notion Hoyer is
on a short leash.
This is Brians job, he said. I never
think of it whether its a leash or we want a
guy to be a game manager. We want him to be
condent and go out and play.
Pettines selection of Hoyer will nally
allow the Browns to move on to other
things, and theres plenty of work to be
done.
Hoyer beats injury, Manziel to win starting job

back at practice on a limited basis Tuesday
before being able to do everything
Wednesday. Reece is wearing a walking
boot on his right foot while away from the
eld.
When I watched him out there today run-
ning around, he looked pretty good running
around, so I dont expect that to be some-
thing that weve got to manage, but well
see as this thing moves along, said coach
Dennis Allen. Obviously if it becomes a
hindrance well have to manage it, but if
not, well let him go out there and play. But
I didnt notice anything today.
Allen wouldnt say whether Reece will
play in Friday nights exhibition game
against Green Bay. Reece said he always
wants to play but will do whatever he is told
by the coaching staff.
If coach tells me they dont want to play
me in a preseason game Ill respect their
decision, he said. I want all of my team-
mates to know as a leader and captain of this
team that if Im able to play and help them
win Ill be out there, no matter if its a pre-
season game, Super Bowl, rst week of the
year, no matter what.
Reece said he expected to get some rest
next week when many starters will get the
nal preseason game against Seattle off and
hopes to be 100 percent for the season
opener against the New York Jets on Sept.
7.
While fullbacks are often minor players
on most teams these days with the preva-
lence of three receiver or multiple tight end
sets, Reece is an integral part of the Raiders
offense. A converted wide receiver in col-
lege, Reece has the ability to line up outside
and take advantage of mismatches against
slower linebackers or use his size to exploit
smaller defensive backs.
Reece had 46 carries for 218 yards and
caught 32 passes for 331 yards last season,
scoring four touchdowns overall. He lost
weight this offseason in hopes of being
faster and the Raiders were hoping to use
him even more on offense in 2014.
NOTES: Allen said no decision has been
made on whether backup QB Derek Carr will
play Friday after leaving last weeks game
with a concussion. ... TE Scott Simonson
has been cleared to play after suffering a
concussion, while WR Brice Butler still
must pass an additional test before he can
play. ... OL Matt McCants and DL Justin
Ellis remain sidelined by concussions. ...
The Raiders re-signed K Kevin Goessling
and waived-injured S Jeremy Deering.

NFL PRESEASON GLANCE
Sell, Aragon head football coach, athletic
director and now the longest tenured coach
in the Peninsula Athletic League with the
retirement of Terra Novas Bill Gray. It
was just a matter of time. The game has
to be taught differently. Theres no two
ways about it. Its an alteration of the way
the game is played.
Sell believes it will take some time for
everyone involved players, coaches and
ofcials to get comfortable with the new
rules because lets face it, its another
judgement call ofcials have to make. They
will have to determine a players intent
when making the call.
This one is going to be hard on the of-
cials. The ofcials are getting it from both
side theyre getting it from the national
federation and the state, and then coaches
saying, Let the kids play football, Sell
said.
The bottom line, as far as Sell is con-
cerned, is that these types of plays simply
dont belong in the game especially at
the high school level.
Were coaching high school football
players. They should be coached not to tar-
get anyway and not take cheap shots any-
way. People who have real problem with
this are people who are troubled. Im
sorry, Sell said. We should be making the
game safer anyway.
You look like a punk, thug team when
you hit people unnecessarily. That kind of
stuff shouldnt happen anyway. It just
shouldnt.

Cal Hi Sports released its preseason state
football rankings and a couple of San
Mateo County teams were included.
Serra was ranked No. 19 in the top-50 in
the state. The Padres are coming off an 11-
3 2013 season that saw them win the
Central Coast Section Open Division title
and a spot in a Northern California region-
al bowl game, where they fell 28-20 to Del
Oro-Loomis which is ranked No. 35, by
the way.
There will be no easing into 2014 for the
Padres, as they open against De La Salle,
ranked No. 2 behind St. John Bosco, which
beat the Spartans for the state Open cham-
pionship last year.
Serra returns a lot of talent from last sea-
sons squad, although it will be breaking in
a new starting quarterback.
The other county team to receive recog-
nition was Sacred Heart Prep, which
advanced to the Small School state champi-
onship game last season. The Gators were
outside Cal His top 50, receiving on the
bubble recognition.
Other teams from CCS to receive a nod
were, not suprisingly, from the West
Catholic Athletic League. Valley Christian
was at No. 24, while Mitty and St. Francis
were on the bubble selections.

LOUNGE
Executive Vice President for Baseball
Operations Joe Torre and the Chicago Cubs
organization for their cooperation through-
out this process.
The last time a team won a protest led
with MLB was June 16, 1986, when St.
Louis played at Pittsburgh. There were two
rain delays at Three Rivers Stadium, and the
Pirates correctly contended those didnt
meet the National Leagues 30-minute
threshold for cancellation.
MLB said in its statement that after watch-
ing video of the trouble at Wrigley Field and
talking to Cubs representatives, the Cubs
inability to deploy the tarp appropriately
was caused by the failure to properly wrap
and spool the tarp after its last use.
As a result, the grounds keeping crew was
unable to properly deploy the tarp after the
rain worsened, MLB said.
MLB said it talked with umpire crew chief
Hunter Wendelstedt and that grounds crew
worked hard to comply with his direction to
get the eld covered.
PROTEST
Little League coach: Inspiring
speech was spontaneous
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa.
Ayouth baseball coach from Rhode
Island who has become an Internet
sensation for the inspiring speech
he made after his team was eliminat-
ed from the Little League World
Series says the talk was sponta-
neous and from the heart.
Players on David Belisles team
from Cumberland were crying after
Monday nights 8-7 loss to Chicago
in South Williamsport,
Pennsylvania, when he kneeled
down and told them they should be
proud.
Belisle told the players they were
one of the best teams in the world
and they had their hometown and the
state of Rhode Island jumping with
excitement. One YouTube video of
the speech had more than 350,000
views early Wednesday.
Teenager struck by lightning
breathing on his own
LAS CRUCES, N.M. Ofcials
in southern New Mexico say a 13-
year-old middle school student
who was critically injured by
lighting during football practice
is breathing on his own.
Las Cruces Public Schools
spokeswoman Jo Galvan says
Hunter Keffers mother reported on
his condition Tuesday night.
Additionally, she says two other
students injured Tuesday evening
also were transferred to El Paso
after rst being taken to a local
hospital. She says their condi-
tions were unknown Wednesday
morning, and their names werent
being released.
Galvan says the boys were trans-
ferred because Las Cruces doesnt
have a trauma center.
A coach also was injured in the
strike. He was taken to
MountainView Regional Medical
Center.
Jim Kellys follow-up exam
shows no sign of cancer
Jim Kelly shows no evidence of
sinus cancer three months after the
Buffalo Bills Hall of Fame quarter-
back completed radiation and
chemotherapy treatments.
Dr. Peter Costantino says in a
release issued by New York Citys
Lenox Hill Hospital that the treat-
ments have completely eliminat-
ed any pain Kelly was experienc-
ing. He says Kellys level of func-
tion has essentially returned to
normal.
Kelly had surgery in June 2013
to remove cancerous cells in his
upper jaw. The cancer then spread
to his sinus.
7 charged with trespassing
at Ray Allens home
CORAL GABLES, Fla. Seven
teenagers accused of walking
through an unlocked door at the
home of former Miami Heat player
Ray Allen have been charged with
trespassing.
Police say the teens were attend-
ing a party next door when they
entered the Coral Gables home last
week. Allens wife and children
were sleeping upstairs. Allens
wife woke up and screamed, and the
teens ran.
The 18- and 19-year-olds told
police they thought the Allens had
moved. Police initially released
them because there was no forced
entry and nothing was taken. At
the time, the Allens attorney said
the couple was upset that charges
werent led because a crime had
been committed.

In the heat of summer, its hard to imagine
that the weather will ever be cool again. And
with dry weather its hard to imagine it
becoming rainy again.
But of course the weather does change, and
youve got to plan what vegetables to grow
for the cool and rainy days ahead that sap
the vitality from tomatoes, cucumbers, pep-
pers and other summer vegetables.
Growing fall vegetables is like having
another whole growing season in the gar-
den. Cool weather brings out the best avor
from vegetables such as kale, broccoli and
carrots. And the harvest season is long; fall
vegetables just sit pretty, awaiting harvest
at your leisure. In spring and summer, cool-
season vegetables like spinach, radishes
and lettuce bolt, sending up a ower stalk
and becoming poor for eating if not har-
vested quickly enough.
COMMIT YOURSELF
Before beginning to plan for fall vegeta-
bles, you need to make three commitments.
The first is to maintain soil fertility.
Remember, you are getting another growing
season out of your garden, so apply fertiliz-
er and liberal amounts of compost or other
organic matter to the soil. Falls predomi-
nantly leafy vegetables are heavy feeders.
Second, dont forget to water. Seedlings
beginning life in summer often cannot get
enough water for themselves. Natural rain-
fall and cooler temperatures eventually will
lessen or eliminate watering chores as fall
approaches.
And third: Weed. Summer weeds compete
with vegetable plants for water, space and
nutrients.
TIMING IS IMPORTANT
To gure out when to sow any fall veg-
etable, look on the seed packet for the days
to maturity. Cool weather and shorter days
dramatically slow growth as fall approach-
es, so count on any vegetable being fully
grown and ready for harvest around mid-
September in northern gardens, and a few
weeks or months later the further south you
garden.
For vegetables that usually are transplant-
ed, such as broccoli, cauliower and cab-
bage, add three weeks, which is how long
they need to grow to transplant size.
In northern climes, its too late to sow fall
broccoli, endive, cabbage, carrots, beets
and parsley, all of which need a relatively
long season to mature. Mark your calendar
for next year.
Enough time remains, though, even in
northern regions, for a second wave of
planting of such vegetables as lettuce,
Chinese cabbage, kale and collards.
Check the days to maturity for Chinese
cabbages; there are many varieties, and
quicker maturing ones will bolt if sown too
early. This sowing of lettuce should be the
rst of a few. Sow small amounts every cou-
ple of weeks and you will have a continuous
supply of tender leaves for your salad bowl.
Include some extra cold-hardy varieties,
such as Winter Density, Rouge dHiver and
Arctic King.
Summer veggies were just the first round
See VEGGIES, Page 26
Local seed racks are often cleared out after midsummer.If this is the case,or if you seek varieties
that are unavailable locally, you can order seeds by mail.

Exp. 9/15/14
By Jamie Stengle
DALLAS From airy beach houses lled
with light to rustic retreats tucked into the
mountains, vacation homes can lead to
inspired decorating.
You love that place, thats why youre
there. Thats the place you want to go to
relax, says Dallas interior designer Jan
Showers, author most recently of
Glamorous Retreats (Harry N. Abrams).
You want it very user-friendly.
Homes detailed in her book include a sea-
side cottage in Nantucket with decorating
touches in cool blues and greens; shells
that the family collected are placed
throughout the house. An artists getaway
in Marin County, California, features the
owners photorealist work, and a studio
that is a riot of color, with shelves lled
with books and antique toys. The master
bedroom of a Texas lake house takes inspi-
ration from the colors of the water, with
walls painted in what Showers describes in
her book as a pond green.
Showers, whose signature style is adding
glamour to interiors, talked to the
Associated Press about decorating vacation
homes. (The interview has been condensed
and edited for clarity. )
AP: How do you add glamorous
touches to a retreat that is more
casual than a year-round home?
Showers: My glamour is a very relaxed
glamour. Its not about satin, furs and all
that stuff. My idea of glamour is Katharine
Hepburn in a black turtleneck and black
pants and a red cardigan sweater.
I think most of my clients love the fact
that I use really fun glass, and maybe its
glass thats not as expensive or as impor-
tant as theyd use in their primary resi-
dence. But we do use groups of glass
because it brings such an interesting ele-
ment to a room.
Im a big believer in everything looking
comfortable. And to me, if its comfortable
and inviting, thats glamorous. Another
way is good lighting. Theres nothing
worse than overhead lighting. Lamps add
to the glamour of a room because every-
body looks better.
AP: How would you suggest spruc-
ing up a retreat that l ooks ti red?
Showers: An easy, fast way to change
things up one of the easiest is pil-
lows. There are so many different fabulous
pillows, and theyre not expensive. Its
nice to do seasonally. If you go to your
retreat in the summer, you may want linen
pillows that are lighter colors, more sum-
mery, and if its winter, you might want
some plaid pillows.
Another thing thats easy to change is
throws. I love throws they just sort of
say take a nap. And now there are all
kinds of wonderful rugs at all kinds of
prices, and washable. It can change your
whole look in a room to do a new rug.
AP: What about outdoor spaces?
Showers: People now want their out-
door spaces to be like their indoor spaces.
There are even outside air conditioners
you can find anything to be outdoors.
Youve got to have outdoor fabrics. There
are even outdoor lamps now.
I like a drinks cart of some kind that you
can put lemonade on, cocktails some-
thing cold in the summertime.
AP: If you cant afford a retreat ,
how can you make your home f eel
l i ke one?
Showers: What is it that people really
want to do when they go away? Most of us
think about a good beach read or fun books,
so I would say just buy some. Disconnect,
take your cellphone and put it in a drawer.
Go to the grocery store and buy some dif-
ferent food that you dont normally cook. If
its not too hot, you could get a big umbrel-
la and sit outside with your book. Go out to
dinner someplace that you dont usually
go.
Naps are great on vacations add throws
to your sofas and settle in for a nice one
after a lunch al fresco and maybe with wine.
I think fresh owers really make you feel
like youre in a special place.
Give yourself a facial.
Decorating touches help retreats sparkle
Interior designer Jan Showers says if its comfortable and inviting then its glamorous.

Vegetables in this second wave of planting for fall
might follow your earlier plantings of bush beans or
sweet corn, or you can sow in seed flats for transplanting
three weeks later. The nice thing about using transplants
is that there is no need to plant a whole row at once you
can tuck plants in here and there as space becomes avail-
able.
Later this month, when you have gathered up mature
onions and perhaps dug up cucumber vines that finally
succumbed to bacterial wilt, its time for yet a third wave
of fall planting. Sow directly in the ground seeds of
spinach, mustard, arugula and turnips. Also plant small
radishes, the kind you normally sow in spring. And con-
sider trying some offbeat fall greens, such as mache,
miners lettuce and shungiku, an edible chrysanthemum.

just be fantastic, said Schreuder, who is
president and CEO of CLS. Nobody wanted
to hire me; they all thought I would get mar-
ried. Eventually I ended up at a company,
but they still didnt take me seriously.
Although she was one of the top sales-
people of 100 employees at the nancial
printing company Sorg, she dealt with sex-
ual harassment and discrimination.
Glass ceiling doesnt even begin to
cover what was going on, she said. I
talked to my clients and they said they
would follow me if I left and they did. It was
wonderful.
CLS Printing, which comes from
Schreuders namesake, was then born in
South San Francisco. One of her clients told
her to incorporate her name, her initials,
into the companys name since she already
had a good reputation.
Despite the challenges starting out in the
work world after graduating magna cum
laude from Willamette University with a
degree in economics and a masters from
American Graduate School of International
Management in Phoenix, Arizona,
Schreuder said the hurdles taught her a lot.
Now when I look back, every challenge
taught me so much, she said. It taught me
how to survive and taught me what was
important. The greatest thing that ever
happened to me was starting my own com-
pany. I had to be very careful around the old
gentlemen who never took a female serious-
ly before.
The best revenge is living well, she said.
Sorg is no longer around; they went
bankrupt, she said.
Since she rst starting working in the
financial printing industry things have
changed a lot. Documents are now posted
online and theres a lot less actual printing
of documents involved.
When we started, it was all printing and
lm, she said. Now, it goes much faster
and more advanced. Now you can work
around the clock to get offerings out.
Before, we would have to nish by mid-
night, now were on call all the time.
Hard work has been a big part of
Schreuders life. The San Mateo native, who
has one sister, just got engaged and said for
most of her life all shes really done is
work.
I never dreamed I wouldnt be married,
she said. When you work so hard and have
long hours, its very hard to develop a rela-
tionship.
Schreuder, who lives in Menlo Park, is
also a very interested in music. She minored
in not only Russian language, but also clas-
sical piano and voice at Willamette. She is
keeping busy as the co-chair of this years
San Francisco Opera Ball which will be held
Sept. 5 with the proceeds go toward funding
music education programs. About 800 peo-
ple are expected to attend that event.
At this age, I can give back, she said.
In terms of her other nonprot work, she
is president emeritus of the University Club
in San Francisco and has served as president
emeritus of the Bay Area Arthritis Auxiliary.
Aside from these hobbies, she also likes
to do interior decorating, swim, walk and
hike. She still plays classical piano and
sings and performs at Black Cat Bar in San
Francisco, along with at weddings and other
local venues.
Over the years, shes added commercial
printing services for corporations and non-
prot clients like a nearby Buddhist temple.
For these projects she helps with newslet-
ters, printing, reading and editing content
for grammar. Schreuder does everything but
the printing itself.

It was a narrow win, as an initial vote on
the oor only produced 31 votes; but after
discussing the bill further, Hill said he was
able to garner 10 more supporters the
precise amount needed for it to progress.
I want to protect access to that beautiful
beach, not just for me and our generation,
but for generations to come, Hill said. Im
really pleased and thankful for the members
of the Assembly that supported the bill.
Because what I found was the misinforma-
tion the lobbyists were spreading.
The bills opponents argue the matter has
been oversimplied, private property rights
are at risk and prior to the media attention,
few people visited Martins Beach.
Amendments in the Assembly
The bill, which easily passed the Senate
in May, has been amended twice in the
Assembly. It was stricken in June of its
most forceful eminent domain language and
now encourages, instead of requires, the
SLC to utilize its authority of condemnation
if a compromise with Khosla cannot be met
by Jan. 1, 2016.
Although the SLC has long had the abili-
ty to acquire a right-of-way easement in the
interests of public beach access, it has never
done so.
On Monday in the Assembly
Appropriations Committee, SB 968 was
essentially sliced in half, allegedly due to
opponents concerns about a list of ndings
outlined in the bill.
The ndings ranged from as factual as the
size of the property and current law, to more
subjective statements such as the recre-
ational value of the property.
Its likely the bill was amended due to
opponents fears that the ndings could be
used in court, where Khosla currently nds
himself defending two civil suits, Hill said.
I think that the lobbyists and Mr. Khosla
did not want that intent language there
because they felt that it may inuence their
court case because it was establishing, in
statute, the history and use of Martins
Beach. Which could inuence or establish a
timeline or history of public access that a
court might look at as a precedent, Hill
said.
Regardless, the language in the bill assur-
ing negotiations take place stayed intact.
Concurrent efforts
Currently, Khosla is facing a lawsuit led
by the Surfrider Foundation, which alleges
he violated the California Coastal Act by
failing to earn mandated permits before
closing the beach to the public.
After years of apparent inaction in the
case, the Coastal Commission recently
released a survey asking for public testimo-
ny about visits to the beach to help afrm
the land was treated as though it were public
for at least ve years. The former property
owners had opened Martins Beach to the
public for nearly 100 years.
California Strategies Rusty Areias, a for-
mer coastal commissioner, was hired by
Khosla to lobby against SB 968. Areias pre-
viously said hes well versed in the public
beach access rights and Martins Beach is
not an ideal case for the SLC to use eminent
domain for the rst time.
I think that those people who claim to
care about coastal access and the Coastal
Commission are being especially reckless,
because they have chosen the wrong proper-
t y, the wrong ght and the wrong person to
engage in this with, Areias previously told
the Daily Journal.
Areias said the crescent shape, century of
erosion and geographical challenges at the
beach deterred other state agencies from pur-
chasing the property and taking an ease-
ment is inconsistent with the states prior
involvement. Areias said when the previous
property owners decided to sell Martins
Beach, he approached California State
Parks, the Midpeninsula Regional Open
Space District and the Nature Conservancy,
but they all turned it down.
Khosla and his attorney have argued the
Coastal Commission, San Mateo County
Planning and Building Division and
Surfrider are extorting him into reopening
the property and running it as a business at
a nancial loss.
Conflicting interests
Hill contends Areias, Khoslas attorney,
and Liz Figueroa, a current Martins Beach
resident and former senator, have been ght-
ing against the bill with selsh interests.
Hill said opponents of SB 968 have spread
misinformation about the beach and the
bill, such as eminent domain language
remaining and the county has put restric-
tions on their ability to raise revenue for
parking or providing other services.
Hill said upholding Californians long-
established rights to access the coast is
driving his efforts and he will continue to
work to see the legislation through the
Senate.
All you have to do is create a little bit of
fear, uncertainty and doubt. And lobbyists
are well trained and well paid to do that,
Hill said. But people vote on bills for
many different reasons. So you just need to
nd that good reason for them to support it.
Sometimes its relationships, sometimes
its policy, sometimes its politics.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Charles D. Shaw
aka Charles Dana Shaw
Case Number: 124727
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Charles D. Shaw,
Charles Dana Shaw. A Petition for Pro-
bate has been filed by Maurice Overton
Shaw, Jr. in the Superior Court of Califor-
nia, County of San Mateo. The Petition
for Probate requests that Maurice Over-
ton Shaw, Jr. be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests the decdents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are availa-
ble for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: September 12,
2014 at 9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
203 Public Notices
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal au-
thority may affect your rights as a cred-
itor. You may want to consult with an at-
torney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are
considering bidding on this property lien,
you should understand that there are
risks involved in bidding at a trustee auc-
tion. You will be bidding on a lien, not on
203 Public Notices
the property itself. Placing the highest
bid at a trustee auction does not auto-
matically entitle you to free and clear
ownership of the property. You should
also be aware that the lien being auc-
tioned off may be a junior lien. If you
are the highest bidder at the auction, you
are or may be responsible for paying off
all liens senior to the lien being auctioned
off, before you can receive clear title to
the property. You are encouraged to in-
vestigate the existence, priority and size
of outstanding liens that may exist on this
property by contacting the county record-
er's office or a title insurance company,
either of which may charge you a fee for
this information. If you consult either of
these resources, you should be aware
that the same lender may hold more
than one mortgage or deed of trust on
the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY
OWNER: The sale date shown on this
notice of sale may be postponed one or
more times by the mortgagee, beneficia-
ry, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Sec-
tion 2924g of the California Civil Code.
The law requires that information about
trustee sale postponements be made
available to you and to the public, as a
courtesy to those not present at the sale.
If you wish to learn whether your sale
date has been postponed, and if applica-
ble, the rescheduled time and date for
the sale of this property, you may call
877-484-9942 or 800-280-2832 or visit

ponements that are very short in duration
or that occur close in time to the sched-
uled sale may not immediately be re-
flected in the telephone information or on
the Internet Web site. The best way to
verify postponement information is to at-
tend the scheduled sale. Date: August

Highway 101 is a major barrier for pedes-
trians and bicyclists traveling and the exist-
ing layout of the Hillsdale Boulevard inter-
change ramps can be dangerous as low-
speed pedestrians or bicyclists are crossing
the path of high-speed vehicles, according
to a city staff report.
Another primary reason why the project
is necessary is there isnt another bike and
pedestrian crossing for nearly two miles,
Lam said.
Hillsdale Boulevard is currently the only
overpass accessible to pedestrians and
bicyclists with the closest being 19th
Avenue to the north and the Ralston Avenue
bridge in Belmont to the south, Lam said.
On Tuesday night, the city held a commu-
nity meeting to gauge the publics interest
in the additional connections, Lam said.
The direction we receive from the com-
munity will help us guide the discussion
with Caltrans, so when we get [approval],
we wont have to hold that up and come back
to the community to talk about it, Lam
said.
The community expressed concerns and
the need for education when a pedestrian or
bicyclist approaches the end of the bridge,
Lam said.
The city will take public input into con-
sideration as it looks for possible design
techniques that would increase safety and
awareness as one nears the bridges inter-
sections, Lam said.
Earlier this year, the city held a communi-
ty workshop and council study sessions to
gather input as the project moves along.
The public expressed an interest in creating
a timeless design that draws from the sur-
rounding environment and would become a
city landmark, according to the report.
Input from the meeting also included a
desire for amenities such as benches or rest
areas. The public also touched on safety
concerns and would like to see lights and
possibly security cameras installed, city
staff said previously.
Currently, the project initiation phase
and environmental documents will be fund-
ed by a $480,000 grant from the San Mateo
County Transit Authority with the city con-
tributing another $120,000. However,
depending on the nal design, actual con-
struction of the project could range between
$17 million and $32 million, Lam said.
There is no identied funding source but the
city will continue to seek federal, state or
county grants, Lam said.
The city hopes to hear back from Caltrans
around October and Lam said the next envi-
ronmental stage to take about a year to a
year and a half. It could be some time before
any construction is completed as designing
the project may take another year or two,
Lam said.
Both the Public Works Commission and
City Council will hold study sessions about
the project as it proceeds but none have yet
been scheduled. The city will also create an
online poll for potential users to provide
feedback regarding the additional connec-
tion points, Lam said.

site at www.cityofsanmateo.org.

BRIDGE
By Nataliya Vasilyeva and Peter Leonard
DONETSK, Ukraine After days of street
battles and weeks of shelling, Ukrainian
troops made a signicant push Wednesday
into rebel-held territory, claiming control
over a large part of the separatist strong-
hold of Luhansk and nearly encircling
Donetsk, the largest rebel-held city.
The advance of the Ukrainian army
against pro-Russian separatists comes as
the civilian death toll is mounting from sus-
tained artillery strikes and rebel cities are
slipping into a humanitarian disaster. At
least 52 deaths were reported Wednesday,
along with 64 wounded and due to the
dangers of the war zone in eastern Ukraine,
no deaths were reported from Luhansk,
meaning the actual toll could be even high-
er.
Ukrainian troops have been trying for
weeks to drive the rebels out of Luhansk and
cut off Donetsk, a city of 1 million that has
shrunk by a third as frightened residents
ed. In the last few days, several neighbor-
hoods in Donetsk have been hit with sus-
tained artillery fire and fighting on the
citys outskirts has become more intense.
The death toll mounted quickly on
Wednesday. In the Donetsk region, 43
locals were killed and 42 wounded in less
than two days, including in two deadly
artillery attacks Wednesday afternoon in the
capital of Donetsk, local authorities said.
In addition, nine troops died and 22 were
wounded in fighting in a town outside
Donetsk.
Luhansk city authorities reported running
battles between the two sides. By early
evening, government forces took control
of signicant parts of Luhansk, an east-
ern city just 20 kilometers (12 miles) from
the Russian border, said Andriy Lysenko, a
spokesman for Ukraines National Security
Council.
A Ukrainian SU-25 plane was also shot
down near Luhansk, Lysenko told TV sta-
tion 112 late Wednesday. He said the loca-
tion of the pilot was still unknown.
Hard-hit Luhansk has been without elec-
tricity, running water or phone connec-
tions for 18 days due to the ghting. Russia
has sent a massive aid convoy to help resi-
dents there but it is still stuck at the border,
not yet approved by Kiev because its pro-
posed route lies through rebel-held territo-
ry.
Ukraine has accused Russia of arming and
supporting the separatists, a charge Russia
denies. Ukraine and the West fear the mas-
sive aid convoy over 200 trucks will
be used in some way to help the separatist
militia.
Donetsk, meanwhile, has come under
daily shelling attacks from all sides. On
Wednesday morning, rockets slammed into
residential areas, including the Donetsk
suburb of Makiivka. More rockets hit in the
afternoon.
I was with my grandmother in the bath-
room, because there is a bearing wall in
there, said Anna Zyukova, 22. And then
all of sudden, bam-bam.
Many Donetsk residents have been tak-
ing refuge in improvised bomb shelters in
the basements of apartment building.
Residents in Makiivka huddled in groups
near one such shelter Wednesday, chatting
and listening as rockets ew in and out sev-
eral miles away.
At a rebel camp closer to the ghting, a
rebel commander who identified himself
only as Chaika Russian for seagull
said he was at a loss to explain why army
shells were hitting apartments.
We purposely dont take up positions
where people live, he said a claim that
Ukrainian officials have repeatedly dis-
missed.
An Associated Press reporter saw the
aftermath of one artillery attack in central
Donetsk on Wednesday evening. Windows
were blown out in several apartment
blocks, and the shells left craters on the
ground.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip Hamas shad-
owy military chief escaped an apparent
Israeli assassination attempt that killed
his wife and infant son, the militant group
said Wednesday as Israels prime minister
warned that the bombardment of Gaza will
continue until rocket fire out of the
Palestinian territory stops.
The airstrike on a home where
Mohammed Deifs family members were
staying and the tough talk from Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came
after the collapse of cease-fire talks in
Cairo on Tuesday.
In a nationally televised address,
Netanyahu showed little willingness to
return to the negotiating table after six
weeks of war with Hamas.
We are determined to continue the cam-
paign with all means and as is needed, he
said, his defense minister by his side. We
will not stop until we guarantee full securi-
ty and quiet for the residents of the south
and all citizens of Israel.
More than 2,000 Palestinians have been
killed in the fighting, most of them civil-
ians, according to U.N. and Palestinian
medical officials. Sixty-seven people have
died on the Israeli side, all but three of
them soldiers.
Asix-day temporary truce collapsed into
heavy fighting after Egyptian-mediated
talks broke down without an agreement on
an extended cease-fire. Hamas has demand-
ed an end to an Israeli-Egyptian blockade
of Gaza. Israel has demanded that Hamas
disarm.
Palestinian militants launched dozens of
rockets into Israel, while Israel carried out
numerous airstrikes across Gaza. One
airstrike on a Gaza City house killed Deifs
7-month-old son and one of his wives.
After remaining quiet for most of the day
Wednesday, Hamas officials announced
that Deif was not in the targeted home at
the time and was still alive. Deif has sur-
vived multiple assassination attempts,
lives in hiding and is believed to be para-
lyzed from previous attempts on his life.
Abu Obeida, the spokesman for Hamas
military wing, said Israel was unable to
get to our commander Deif, adding that he
will lead the army that will enter to liber-
ate the holy al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem.
