Six-alarm blaze at Redwood City apartment
killed one and left nearly 100 homeless
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
At least 22 complaints have
been led in Superior Court by for-
mer residents of the Hallmark
House Apartments in Redwood
City after a six-alarm blaze killed
one and left nearly 100 homeless
July 7.
The complaints were filed
Tuesday and at least six more will
be led soon, said attorney Ara
Jabagchourian with Cotchett,
Pitre & McCarthy.
More former tenants are also
considering suing KDF Hallmark,
the owner of the 72-unit apartment
complex on Woodside Road that
has been deemed uninhabitable.
Many of the re victims inter-
viewed last week for housing at
the Woodland Apartments in East
Palo Alto, which had 21 studios
and two one-bedroom apartments
for rent, according to representa-
tives with InnVision Shelter
Network.
Yesterday, Redwood City offi-
cials conrmed that at least 16
households from Hallmark are
expected to move into the
Woodland Park Apartments.
Fire investigators have stated
the re was likely an accident that
started in a third-oor unit where
the deceased, 48-year-old Darin
Michael Demello-Pine, was cook-

An elderly patient who fell at
Mills-Peninsula Medical Center is
suing the hospital, its parent com-
pany and his physician over his
fractured hip and subsequent care
which he attributes to deliberate
understaffing as a cost-savings
measure.
Hausia M. Moala and his wife,
Funaki T. Moala are seeking dam-
ages for elder abuse, medical mal-
practice and loss of consortium,
according to the suit led Aug. 20
in San Mateo County Superior
Court against Mils-Peninsula
Medical Center, Mills-Peninsula
Health Services, Sutter Health and
Dr. Dirk Baumann.
The defendants used an under-
staffing plan to reduce labor
costs and to increase prots at
the expense of patients like
Hausia M. Moala, the suit states.
During Maolas time there, the
named defendants were well
aware the understafng created a
perilous risk of inadequate nursing
care, dangerous falls, injuries,
neglect and abuse of the elderly
patients, the suit states.
A Mills-Peninsula Health
Services spokeswoman did not
return inquiries for comment.
Moalas attorney, James
McCallion, said yesterday he did
not have time to discuss the
details of the case but described it
as great.
Hausia M. Moala, then 74, was a
patient at the hospital from Aug.
27, 2012 to Sept. 9, 2012. He had
been admitted to undergo a left leg
angioplasty but two days later fell
in the recovery room and sustained
a hip fracture that went undiag-
nosed until Sept. 2, 2012 despite
swelling and pain, according to
the suit.
Moalas lawsuit said hospital
personnel were aware of his
numerous health problems and
high risk of falls at the time he
entered the facility.
The suit also claims Moala was
placed in further pain by medical

Unionized S.F. strip
club closing its curtains
SAN FRANCISCO Nearly two
decades after they made the nation gawk
by forming its rst unionized strip club,
the dancers at San Franciscos Lusty
Lady are hanging up their thongs.
The employee-owned, co-op club will
close in two weeks because it can no
longer afford its rent.
General manager Scott Farrell said
that while the workers own the club,
they dont own the North Beach build-
ing where rent was $5,500 a month in
2001 but now runs more than $16,000.
Thats far more than the dancers and
their wads of ones can manage.
Eviction proceedings began against
the club earlier this year when it fell
behind on rent. The workers have agreed
to vacate by Sept. 2, and the owner says
hell waive the back rent.
Munchies from marijuana
festival fetch $50 online
SEATTLE Afew eBay users are see-
ing a money-making opportunity in the
free bags of chips that were given out
by police over the weekend at Seattles
pot festival known as Hempfest.
An unopened Doritos bag from
Hempfest had drawn eight bids by
Monday afternoon, pushing the price to
$58. One bag listed as used was fetch-
ing $50.
The nacho-cheese-avored Doritos
were a popular topic surrounding the
event because Seattle police distributed
them for free along with stickers
designed to inform pot consumers about
the states legal pot law.
Ofcers handed out only 1,000 bags
of chips at an event that draws as many
as 85,000 people per day.
Police: Partying teens
trapped in walk-in vault
FALCONER, N.Y. Authorities say
four teenagers were apparently partying
in a former law ofce in western New
York when they got trapped for several
hours in a walk-in vault.
Police say they received a call around
1 a.m. Friday from a person reporting
that four people were stuck inside the
vault in the village of Falconer, 60
miles south of Buffalo.
Rescue crews and a locksmith went to
the building. The locksmith freed the
teens, ages 18 and 19, after about four
hours. Police say all four were checked
out at a hospital. Ofcials say the teens
had permission to be inside the build-
ing. Authorities say they found a large
quantity of alcohol and some marijuana
on the premises, and charges are pend-
ing against the four.
Police: Cable

know that missing your favorite show
isnt an emergency.
Faireld police say they received

that hit parts of southwestern
Connecticut on Sunday night.
The message on the departments
Facebook page says the outage is nei-
ther an emergency or a police related
concern.
The post warns that 911 should be
used for life-threatening emergencies
only and misuse of the 911 system may
result in an arrest.
Cablevision said in a statement
shortly after 11 p.m. that there was a
commercial power outage in its
Norwalk facility. It says the power

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The Redwood City Planning Commission
is unanimously recommending the City
Council accept a $15 million development
agreement with Stanford to build a satellite
campus in the city.
The commission at Tuesday nights meet-
ing also recommended the City Council
rezone the property and certify the environ-
mental documents so that discussion can
begin about the project itself. The council
is tentatively scheduled to consider the mat-
ter at its Sept. 9 meeting.
The project will be Stanford Universitys
rst signicant expansion outside of its
main campus and provides space for both
academic and non-academic uses. As a con-
dition of approval, Stanford University will
also give the city funds including $1.5 mil-
lion to a street enhancement program, $4
million to the community sustainability
fund, $450,000 for bicycle system
improvements, $100,000 for bus shelter
improvements, $1.5 million for water tank
improvements and $1 million of storm
water improvements to address existing
ood conditions in the project area.
If approved, Stanford University will also
spend $5 million in education and training
programs for city residents and businesses,
$1 million for a multi-use recreation and
wellness center at Red Morton Park,
$250,000 toward the summer concert series
and $250,000 for the Redwood City
Educational Foundation.
The proposed plan on part of the former
Mid-Technology Park calls for up to 1.518
million square feet of building spaces and
approximately 4,500 parking spaces on a
35-acre campus bisected by Broadway and
generally bound by Highway 101, Douglas
Avenue, Bay Road and Second Avenue. The
existing eight ofce and research and devel-
opment buildings will be demolished and
redevelopment will happen in phases,
adding a medical clinic and offices for
administration and research.

A19-year-old Foster City man accused of
peeping into girls bedrooms and mastur-
bating on a teen girl as she slept was sen-
tenced yesterday to two years in prison on
one count of annoying a child in a home.
Justin Scott Shing must also have to reg-
ister as a sex offender and the conviction
will count as a criminal strike.
Shing apologized for his conduct at the
Wednesday hearing and the fathers of two
victims addressed the court before sentenc-
ing was pronounced.
Foster City police
arrested Shing Aug. 25,
2012 after the father of a
9-year-old girl reported
finding him inside the
Matsonia Drive home at
3 a.m. staring at the
girls empty bed while on
his hands and knees. The
father grabbed him and
called police.
Authorities say Shing also looked in the
window of a 17-year-old neighbor girl at 2
a.m. in May 2012. On Aug. 14, 2012 he
reportedly entered the same girls bedroom
after midnight as she slept, pulled back her
comforter and masturbated.
Foster City police reported Shing admit-
ted entering the homes.
As part of the plea deal, remaining
charges of residential burglary, peeping,
sexual battery and possession of burglary
tools were dismissed against Shing.
He has credit of eight days against his
sentence and must serve at least 50 percent
of the remainder.

Former SFO
baggage handler who stole
property must pay back victims
A former United Airlines baggage
handler at San Francisco
International Airport who stole items
from travelers luggage after it had
been checked must pay his victims
more than $30,000 in restitution, a
San Mateo County Superior Court
judge ruled Wednesday.
George Reyes, 45, of San
Francisco, pleaded no contest on
Aug. 1 to felony embezzlement and
theft, and was sentenced to six
months in county jail and three years
supervised probation, District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said.
Yesterday, Reyes was ordered to pay
a total of $32,366 in restitution to
21 victims. The restitution amount
for each victim ranged from $150 to
$6, 000.
Reyes was arrested after San
Francisco police officers with the
departments airport division con-
ducted a sting operation in May in
which they planted iPads and purses
in luggage and placed GPS trackers
on the items, prosecutors said.
The items were taken from the
bags, and GPS trackers revealed that
they were inside Reyes car as he
drove home from work the day of the
sting, according to the district attor-
neys office.
United Airlines had received more
than 50 complaints of personal prop-
erty being stolen from checked lug-
gage, and an investigation into the
complaints showed that Reyes was
working at the time of the thefts,
according to prosecutors.
Reyes began serving his sentence
on Aug. 1.

Horse attacked by
pit bull in Montara field
A pit bull attacked a horse in the
coastal town of Montara on Monday
night, a San Mateo County Sheriffs
spokeswoman said.
The horse was in an open field
behind the owners residence in the
1400 block of Audubon Avenue when
the dog attacked it at about 7:55
p. m. , sheriffs spokeswoman
Rebecca Rosenblatt said.
A witness tried unsuccessfully to
pull the pit bull off the horse,
Rosenblatt said.
The dog was finally dislodged when
a bystander hit it in the head with a
rake, she said.
The horse, which was bleeding
from its neck and legs, survived the
attack and was taken to Bayhill
Equine in Belmont to be treated,
Rosenblatt said.
The pit bull was taken into custody
by the Peninsula Humane Society,
which is continuing to investigate
the incident.
It was not immediately clear if the
dogs owner was present during the
attack.
South City discusses

Department in the wake of the states

Assistant City Manager Marty Van
Duyn said the City Council has been
going through all the departments
and streamlining the amount of divi-
sions.
The changes reflect the states rede-
velopment agencies officially dis-
solved in early 2012, Van Duyn said.
One such change is folding the sus-
tainability division into the
Planning Division. Van Duyn said
there will be more of an emphasis on
sustainability in the city.
San Bruno criticizes
PG&Es bankruptcy
claim over explosion
Pacific Gas & Electrics claims that
fines from the deadly 2010 gas
pipeline explosion and fire in San
Bruno could force the utility into
bankruptcy contradicts the sworn
legal testimony of its own finance
expert, according to the city.
The city yesterday took aim at
statements made by PG&E Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer Tony
Earley to Bloomberg News regarding
the proposed penalty and fine by the
California Public Utility
Commission.
The CPUCs five-member commis-
sion is expected to issue its final rec-
ommendation in coming months.
Judges says PG&E improperly
declared two pipelines safe
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Pacic Gas and Electric Co. could be
ned for improperly declaring two natural-gas pipelines
safe and using misleading lings to minimize the problem,
state utilities regulators said.
Two California Public Utilities Commission administra-
tive law judges said that PG&E characterized substantial
record keeping errors regarding two San Francisco Bay Area
pipelines as a routine problem.
The pipelines in question are in the same regional system
as the one that exploded a 2010, a blast that killed eight
people and destroyed 38 homes in San Bruno.
Poor record keeping was cited as a major factor in that
incident, and the company currently faces up to $2 billion
in nes for the San Bruno explosion.
Karen Clopton and Maribeth Bushey, the commission
judges, said PG&E workers last fall found that a pipeline in
San Carlos was of lesser quality than company records had
indicated.
The company also discovered that it had been running a
different pipeline in Millbrae at too high a pressure because
of reliance on improper past testing.
The judges said PG&E minimized these serious lapses as
data errata in a ling made on the day before the Fourth of
July holiday, in a manner that could be seen as an attempt
to mislead the commission and the public on the signi-
cance of this new information.
PG&E denied that it misled regulators, and said the
pipelines at issue are safe.
Also, PG&E rst approached utilities commission staffers
about the record-keeping problems in February, Greg
Snapper, a company spokesman, told the newspaper.
The judges are considering hundreds of thousands of dol-
lars in nes for the errors.

WASHINGTON Almost a third of this
years high school graduates who took the
ACT tests are not prepared for college-level
writing, biology, algebra or social science
classes, according to data the testing compa-
ny released Wednesday.
The companys annual report also found a
gap between students interests now and pro-
jected job opportunities when they graduate,
adding to the dire outlook for the class of
2013.
The readiness of students leaves a lot to be
desired, said Jon Erickson, president of the
Iowa-based companys education division.
The ACT reported that 31 percent of all
high school graduates tested were not ready
for any college coursework requiring
English, science, math or reading skills. The
other 69 percent of test takers met at least
one of the four subject-area standards.
Just a quarter of this years high school
graduates cleared the bar in all four subjects,
demonstrating the skills theyll need for col-
lege or a career, according to company data.
The numbers are even worse for black high
school graduates: Only 5 percent were deemed
fully ready for life after high school.
The reports ndings suggest that many
students will struggle when they arrive on
campus or theyll be forced to take remedial
courses often without earning credits to
catch their peers.
The data reveal a downturn in overall stu-
dent scores since 2009. Company ofcials
attribute the slide to updated standards and
more students taking the exams including
many with no intention of attending two- or
four-year colleges.
In terms of careers, the report found a
chasm between what students want to study
and where they might nd jobs down the road.
ACT compared federal Bureau of Labor
Statistics projections with their own ques-
tionnaires and found insufcient student
interest in the ve fastest-growing industries
with workers who require some college.
For instance, the government estimates
that 17 percent of job openings in 2020 will
be in education elds but only 6 percent of
test takers told ACT they wanted a job there.
Computer and information technologies will
account for 11 percent of openings in 2020,
but only 2 percent of students indicated they
want a career in that industry.
The government estimates 9 percent of job
openings will be in sales and marketing,
community services and management elds.
ACT reports that 2 percent of test takers are
interested in sales and marketing, 7 percent
in community services and 6 percent in man-
agement.
The ACT report is based on the 54 percent
of high school graduates this year who took
the exams. Roughly the same percentage
took the SAT the other major college
entrance exam and many students took
both tests. Those who took only the SAT
were not included in the report.
Under ACTs denition, a young adult is
ready to start college or trade school if he or
she has the knowledge to succeed without
taking remedial courses. Success is dened as
the students having a 75 percent chance of
earning a C grade and a 50 percent chance of
earning a B, based on results on each of the
four ACTsubject areas, which are measured on
a scale from 1 to 36 points.
Of all ACT-tested high school graduates
this year, 64 percent met the English bench-
mark of 18 points that predicts success in a
composition course. In science, 36 percent
scored 23 or higher, the benchmark for suc-
cess in a college biology course. In math, 44
percent met the 22-point baseline to predict
success in an algebra course. And in reading,
44 percent met the 22 point threshold that
indicates readiness for an introductory social
science course.
Only 26 percent of students met the bench-
marks for all four sections of the ACT test.
Of the 1.7 million students who took the
215-question ACTexam, as many as 290,000
were within 2 points of meeting at least one
of the four readiness thresholds.
There is a group thats on the fence,
Erickson said. With a little further instruc-
tion or motivation, perhaps some additional
remediation or refreshing some of their past
skills, they may be able to achieve that
benchmark.
When the testing agency broke down the
results by race, fault lines emerged. Just 5
percent of black students are ready for college
work in all four areas. Among American
Indians, 10 percent are ready in all subjects,
while 14 percent of Hispanics are ready.
Pacic Islanders post a 19 percent readiness
rate for all four subjects. White students have
a 33 percent rate, and 43 percent of Asian-
American students are ready for studies in all
four subjects.
Students from all racial backgrounds did
best in English and worst in science.
Some states and school districts have
begun requiring more students to take the
tests. About 22 percent more students took
the ACT test in 2013 than in 2009. In the
past four years, ACThas increased its share of
the test market, climbing from 45 percent of
high school graduates in 2009 to 54 percent
this year.
ACT: Third of high school grads not college ready
Governor to skip
opening of new Bay Bridge span
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown will
not attend the opening of the new eastern
span San Francisco-
Oakland Bay Bridge,
which is set for the day
after Labor Day.
A spokesman for the
governor, Jim Evans,
said Wednesday that
Brown will be on an out-
of-state family trip and
will be gone through
Labor Day.
Ofcials plan to close the current span,
which has been deemed seismically unsafe,
Aug. 28 and open the new one at 5 a.m.
Sept. 3, the day after Labor Day.
The decision to open the $6.4 billion
bridge comes despite construction prob-
lems that had threatened to delay the open-
ing for months.
Federal transportation officials have
approved a temporary replacement for bro-
ken earthquake-safety bolts that had been
installed previously, allowing the Labor
Day weekend opening.

FRESNO An out-of-control forest re
threatening about 2,500 structures near
Yosemite National Park was one of more
than 50 active, large wildres dotting the
western U.S. on Wednesday.
The remote blaze in Stanislaus National
Forest west of Yosemite grew to more than
25 square miles and was only 5 percent con-
tained, threatening homes, hotels and camp
buildings.
The re has led to the voluntary evacua-
tion of the private gated summer community
of Pine Mountain Lake, which has a popula-
tion of 2,800, as well as several organized
camps, at least two campgrounds and dozens
of other private homes. Two residences and
seven outbuildings have been destroyed.
The re also caused the closure of a 4-mile
stretch of State Route 120, one of the gate-
ways into Yosemite on the west side. Park
ofcials said the park remains open to visi-
tors and can be accessed via state Routes
140 and 4.
This is typically a very busy time for us
until Labor Day, so its denitely affecting
business not having the traffic come
through to Yosemite, said Britney
Sorsdahl, a manager at the Iron Door Saloon
and Grill in Groveland, a community of
about 600 about ve miles from the re.
The re was among the nations top re-
fighting priorities, according to the
National Interagency Fire Center in Boise,
Idaho.
Fifty-one major uncontained wildres are
burning throughout the West, according to
the center, including in California, Alaska,
Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon,
Utah, Washington and Wyoming. More
than 19,000 reghters were ghting the
res.
But the U.S. Forest Service, the nations
top wildfire-fighting agency, said
Wednesday that it is running out of money
to ght wildres and is diverting $600 mil-
lion from timber, recreation and other areas
to ll the gap. The agency said it had spent
$967 million so far this year and was down
to $50 million - typically enough to pay for
just a few days of ghting res when the
nation is at its top wildre preparedness
level, which went into effect Tuesday.
There have been more than 32,000 res
this year that have burned more than 5,300
square miles.
On Wednesday, the National Interagency
Fire Center listed two res in Montana as
the nations number one priority. They
include a wildre burning west of Missoula
that has surpassed 13 square miles,
destroyed ve homes, closed U.S. Highway
12 and led to multiple evacuations. The
Lolo Fire Complex, which was zero percent
contained, also destroyed an unknown num-
ber of outbuildings and vehicles.
At least 19 other notable res were burn-
ing across the state, leading Montana Gov.
Steve Bullock to declare a state of emer-
gency, which allows the use of National
Guard resources ranging from personnel to
helicopters.
In Oregon, a re in the Columbia Gorge
about 10 miles southwest of The Dalles
grew to 13 square miles, forcing evacua-
tions and burning a third home. The re was
15 percent contained. Strong winds contin-
ued to fan the blaze, pushing it into the
Mount Hood National Forest.

WASHINGTON The National Security
Agency declassified three secret court
opinions Wednesday showing how in one
of its surveillance programs it scooped up
as many as 56,000 emails and other com-
munications by Americans not connected
to terrorism annually over three years,
revealed the error to the court which
ruled its actions unconstitutional and
then fixed the problem.
Director of National Intelligence James
Clapper authorized the release, part of
which Obama administration officials
acknowledged Wednesday was prodded by a
2011 lawsuit filed by an Internet civil lib-
erties activist group.
The court opinions show that when the
NSA reported its inadvertent gathering of
American-based Internet traffic to the court
in September 2011, the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Court ordered the
agency to find ways to limit what it col-
lects and how long it keeps it.
In an 85-page declassified FISAcourt rul-
ing from October 2011, U.S. District Judge
James D. Bates rebuked government
lawyers for repeatedly misrepresenting the
operations of the NSAs surveillance pro-
grams.
This court is troubled that the govern-
ments revelations regarding NSAs acqui-
sition of Internet transactions mark the
third instance in less than three years in
which the government has disclosed a sub-
stantial misrepresentation regarding the
scope of a major collection program,
Bates wrote in a footnoted passage that had
portions heavily blacked out in the gov-
ernments disclosure.
The NSAhad moved to revise its Internet
surveillance in an effort to separate out
domestic data from its foreign targeted
metadata which includes email addresses
and subject lines. But in his October 2011
ruling, Bates ruled that the governments
upstream collection of data taken
from internal U.S. data sources was
unconstitutional.
Three senior U.S. intelligence officials
said Wednesday that national security offi-
cials realized the extent of the NSAs inad-
vertent collection of Americans data from
fiber optic cables in September 2011. One
of the officials said the problem became
apparent during internal discussions
between NSA and Justice Department offi-
cials about the programs technical opera-
t i on.
They were having a discussion and a
light bulb went on, the official said.
The problem, according to the officials,
was that the top secret Internet-sweeping
operation, which was targeting metadata
contained in the emails of foreign users,
was also amassing thousands of emails
that were bundled up with the targeted
materials. Because many web mail servic-
es use such bundled transmissions, the
official said, it was impossible to collect
the targeted materials without also sweep-
ing up data from innocent domestic U.S.
users.
The officials did not explain why they
did not prepare for that possibility when
the surveillance program was created and
why they discovered it only after the pro-
gram was well underway.
Officials said that when they realized
they had an American communication, the
communication was destroyed. But it was
not clear how they determined to whom an
email belonged and whether any NSA ana-
lyst had actually read the content of the
email. The officials said the bulk of the
information was never accessed or ana-
lyzed.

WASHINGTON Months before Martin
Luther King Jr. s I Have a Dream declara-
tion galvanized a quarter-million people at
the 1963 March on Washington, Bayard
Rustin was planning all the essential details
to keep the crowd orderly and engaged.
Rustin, who died in 1987, is sometimes
forgotten in civil rights history. As a Quaker
and pacifist, he was often an outcast.
Perhaps most notably, he was gay in an era
when same-sex relations were widely reviled
in American society. He served as chief
strategist for Kings march, over the objec-
tions of some leaders but he was kept
mostly in the background, with some organ-
izers considering him a liability.
At the commemorations for Kings
march 50 years later, gay, lesbian, bisexu-
al and transgender people will be included
like never before in a sign of the civil
rights movements broad evolution.
Rustin also will be honored with a
Presidential Medal of Freedom from
President Barack Obama.
In 63, we didnt talk about gays, said
the Rev. Al Sharpton, who was joined by
gay and lesbian activists in announcing
plans for the gatherings scheduled Aug. 24-
28 in Washington. Bayard Rustin had to
take a back seat. Gay and lesbian leadership
stands with us and will be speaking this
time.
Groups plan to bus in gay and lesbian par-
ticipants from Baltimore, New York,
Philadelphia, North Carolina and beyond.
The planning groups include the National
Gay and Lesbian Task Force, the National
Black Justice Coalition and the Human
Rights Campaign, the nations largest gay
rights group, as well as labor and teachers
unions.
The Rev. MacArthur Flournoy, who directs
faith partnerships and mobilizing at the
Human Rights Campaign, said the inclusion
of gay rights in the larger civil rights move-
ment has been transformative.
We see human rights and civil rights as
linked. And so our commitment is to stand
with others on issues of justice and, really,
on issues of equality, he said. LGBT equal-
ity, in our minds, is consistent with many
other justice issues, so its important that
were present.
Civil rights includes gays 50 years after march
This court is troubled that the governments revelations regarding
NSAs acquisition of Internet transactions mark the third instance in less
than three years in which the government has disclosed a substantial
misrepresentation regarding the scope of a major collection program.

FORTMEADE, Md. Army Pfc. Bradley
Manning stood at attention in his crisp
dress uniform Wednesday and learned the
price he will pay for spilling an unprece-
dented trove of government secrets: up to
35 years in prison, the stiffest punishment
ever handed out in the U.S. for leaking to
the media.
Flanked by his lawyers, Manning, 25,
showed no reaction as military judge Col.
Denise Lind announced the sentence with-
out explanation in a proceeding that lasted
just a few minutes.
Agasp could be heard among the specta-
tors, and one woman buried her face in her
hands. Then, as guards hurried Manning out
of the courtroom, about a half-dozen sup-
porters shouted from the back: Well keep
ghting for you, Bradley! and Youre our
hero!
With good behavior and credit for the
more than three years he has been held,
Manning could be out in as little as seven
years, said his lawyer, David Coombs. The
soldier was also demoted and will be dis-
honorably discharged.
The sentencing fired up the long-run-
ning debate over whether Manning was a
whistleblower or a traitor for giving
more than 700,000 classified military
and diplomatic documents, plus battle-
field footage, to the anti-secrecy website
WikiLeaks. By volume alone, it was the
biggest leak of classified material in U.S.
history, bigger even than the Pentagon
Papers a generation ago.
In a statement from London, WikiLeaks
founder Julian Assange decried Mannings
trial and conviction as an affront to basic
concepts of Western justice. But he called
the sentence a signicant tactical victory
because the soldier could be paroled so
quickly.
Manning could have gotten 90 years
behind bars. Prosecutors asked for at least
60 as a warning to other soldiers, while
Mannings lawyer suggested he get no more
than 25, because some of the documents he
leaked will be declassied by then.
Military prosecutors had no immediate
comment on the sentence, and the White
House said only that any request for a presi-
dential pardon would be considered like
any other application.
The case was part of an unprecedented
string of prosecutions brought by the U.S.
government in a crackdown on security
breaches. The Obama administration has
charged seven people with leaking to the
media; only three people were prosecuted
under all previous presidents combined.
Manning, an Army intelligence analyst
from Crescent, Okla., digitally copied and
released Iraq and Afghanistan battlefield
reports and State Department cables while
working in 2010 in Iraq. He also leaked
video of a 2007 Apache helicopter attack in
Baghdad that mistakenly killed at least
nine people, including a Reuters photogra-
pher.
Manning said he did it to expose the U.S.
militarys bloodlust and generate debate
over the wars and U.S. policy.

LITHONIA, Ga. A man who
allegedly exchanged gunfire with
police at an Atlanta-area school didnt
seem to have any friends and rarely
talked about his family or past during
the months he lived with a couple
who serve as pastors at a small
church.
But Michael Brandon Hill was quiet
and didnt display anger or violent
tendencies, said Natasha Knotts, the
woman who took him in after he start-
ed coming to the small church where
her husband is pas-
tor and she is an
assistant pastor. No
one was injured in
Tuesdays standoff,
bringing relief to
parents who had
feared the worst
after reports of the
gunfire began sur-
facing.
The DeKalb County Public
Defenders ofce said in a statement
that it was representing Hill and that
he has a long history of mental
health issues. One of the offices
attorneys, Claudia Saari, said in an
email that a preliminary hearing is
scheduled for Sept. 5.
Knotts told the Associated Press on
Wednesday that Hill, who is now 20,
lived with them for about six months
in his late teens. Though there is no
blood or legal connection between
them, Knotts said she served as a
mother-like gure to Hill.
He was part of our family, Knotts
said. Her family was aware that he had
a mental disorder before he moved in.
Hill told her that his birth mother
was dead and that he didnt know his
father. He also has brothers.

BEIRUT The images showed
lifeless children wrapped in
simple white cloths, their pale
faces unmarked by any wound
lined up shoulder to shoulder in a
vivid demonstration of an attack
Wednesday in which activists say
the Syrian regime killed at least
130 people with toxic gas.
The Syrian government
adamantly denied using chemical
weapons in an artillery barrage
targeting suburbs east of
Damascus, calling the allegations
absolutely baseless. The U.S.,
Britain and France demanded that a
team of U.N. experts already in the
country be granted immediate
access to investigate the claims.
Videos and photographs showed
row upon row of bodies wrapped in
white shrouds lying on a tile oor,
including more than a dozen chil-
dren. There was little evidence of
blood or conventional injuries
and most appeared to have suffo-
cated. Survivors of the purported
attack, some twitching uncontrol-
lably, lay on gurneys with oxygen
masks covering their faces.
Activists and the opposition
leadership gave widely varying
death tolls, ranging from as low as
136 to as high as 1,300. But even
the most conservative tally would
make it the deadliest alleged chem-
ical attack in Syrias civil war.
For months now, the rebels,
along with the United States,
Britain and France, have accused
the Syrian government of using
chemical weapons in its campaign
to try to snuff out the rebellion
against President Bashar Assad
that began in March 2011. The
regime and its ally, Russia, have
denied the allegations, pinning
the blame on the rebels.
The murky nature of the purport-
ed attacks, and the difculty of
gaining access to the sites amid
the carnage of Syrias war, has
made it impossible to verify the
claims. After months of negotia-
tions, a U.N. team nally arrived
in Damascus on Sunday to begin
its investigation into the alleged
use of chemical weapons in Syria.
But the probe is limited to three
sites and only seeks to determine
whether chemical agents were
used, not who unleashed them.
The timing of Wednesdays
attack four days after the U.N.
teams arrival raised questions
about why the regime would use
chemical agents now.
Deadly attack in Syria renews chemical arms claim
By Bradley Klapper
WASHINGTON The Obama
administration searched for
answers Wednesday about a
reported chemical weapons attack
in Syria that would mark the most
agrant violation yet of the U.S.
red line for potential military
action. But the possibility of
intervention seemed ever smaller
after Americas top general
offered a starkly pessimistic
assessment of options.
Gen. Martin Dempsey, the
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, said in a letter this week to
a congressman that the adminis-
tration is opposed to even limit-
ed action in Syria because it
believes rebels ghting the Assad
government wouldnt support
American interests if they seized
power.
Dempsey said the U.S. military
is clearly capable of taking out
Assads air force and shifting the
balance of the war toward the
armed opposition. But such an
approach would plunge the U.S.
into the war without offering any
strategy for ending what has
become a sectarian ght, he said.
On Wednesday, Syrian anti-
Assad activists accused the gov-
ernment of carrying out a toxic
gas attack in the eastern suburbs
of Damascus, killing at least 100
people including children. The
claims coincided with a visit by a
U.N. chemical weapons team to
three previous sites of alleged
attacks. Syrian President Bashar
Assads government rejected the
accusations, and U.S. officials
said they were seeking details of
what happened.
For the United States, the death
toll and painful images again put
a spotlight on President Barack
Obamas pledge almost exactly a
year ago to respond forcefully to
any chemical weapons use by the
Assad government. Since then,
the administration has said it has
conrmed that Syrian forces have
committed such attacks, and the
U.S. has ordered a lethal aid pack-
age of small arms to be sent to
some rebel groups, though its
unclear what if any weapons have
been delivered.
Yet up to now, Obama has
refused all options of direct U.S.
military intervention in a civil
war that has killed more than
100,000 people and displaced
millions.
The United States is deeply
concerned by reports that hun-
dreds of Syrian civilians have
been killed in an attack by Syrian
government forces, including by
the use of chemical weapons,
White House spokesman Josh
Earnest said Wednesday.
We are working urgently to
gather additional information,
Earnest said, adding that
Washington has asked for U.N.
investigators to be granted
access to the area of the ghting.
He made no mention of possible
consequences if chemical
weapons use is conrmed.

CAIRO Egypts prime minis-
ter ordered Wednesday that deposed
autocrat Hosni Mubarak be placed
under house arrest after hes
released from prison following
more than two years in detention.
The announcement came hours
after a court ordered Mubarak be
released for the rst time since he
was rst detained in April 2011, a
move threatening to further stoke
tension in a deeply divided Egypt.
Many feared Mubaraks release
would amplify Islamist allega-
tions that last months military
coup was a step toward restoring
the old regime.
P r i m e
Minister Hazem
el-Beblawi said
in a statement
that he ordered
Mubarak be put
under house
arrest as part of
the emergency
measures put in
place this
month. The decision appeared
designed to ease some of the criti-
cism over Mubarak being freed
from prison and ensure he appears
in court next week for a separate
trial.
Prison officials said Mubarak
may be released as early as
Thursday.

OPINION 9
An inappropriate
use of land-grab law
Editor,
I applaud Mayor Gale McLaughlin of
Richmond for standing up to the
banks by using eminent domain to
save the homes of her constituents.
The bank bailout cost $700 billion in
taxpayer money, which, in turn, the
bank CEOs gave themselves raises,
and according to Bloomberg News, the
taxpayers paid $12.8 trillion to lend,
spend or guarantee deposits of the
banks. However, $135 billion was
spent in October 2010 to insure the
mortgages of Fannie Mae and Freddy
Mac.
Even more egregious than this, the
banks that foreclose upon family
homes are allowed to default on the
property taxes for up to ve years
without penalty. Property taxes are
how cities and counties support all
services and maintain our infrastruc-
ture.
Then, the banks sell the property in
a short sale or foreclosure to the buyer
passing along the unpaid property tax
debt. If the banks, which were too big
to fail, absorbed even more smaller
banks and were required to pay the
property taxes from day one of the
properties they foreclose upon, our
cities and counties would be ush with
money. But yet again, the banks fail-
ure has failed us, the taxpayers, again.
Yet the writer states its an An inap-
propriate use of the land-grab law (in
the Aug. 21 edition of the Daily
Journal). What could be more appro-
priate than a mayor looking after her
constituents and making sure that fam-
ilies stay in their homes and are not
living out in the streets?

A cleaner downtown
Editor,
I was pleased to read Bill
Silverfarbs article San Mateos
Central Park faces redesign, in the
Aug. 15 edition of the Daily Journal.
If only the Downtown Association
would invest in cleaning the sidewalks
downtown, it would be money well
spent.
To see how busy the evenings are
with full parking lots and people
enjoying the many restaurants in the
area is a wonderful thing to see.
In the past there was a real pride in
the store occupants keeping their store
fronts clean and presentable. Now, it
is embarrassing to see the sidewalks
covered with spilled liquids, black
grease marks, etc.
I have been told that each business
is assessed a cleaning fee. This is not
always apparent. Asteam cleaning on
a regular basis would be a real
improvement.
As a resident of San Mateo for more
than 50 years, I have always had great
pride in the many accomplishments of
the City of San Mateo.
Acleaner downtown would be a
great improvement for the resi-
dents and guests.

Tour of jury duty
Editor,
Reporter Michelle Durand states, I
believe in the jury system. I believe
every person has to participate in the
process for it to work properly. I
believe it can be an eye-opening expe-
rience for those sitting in the box and
the chance of a fair trial for those
whose case is being weighed
(Michelle Durands column, Tour of
jury duty in the Aug. 20 edition of the
Daily Journal).
How can one believe in a system that
is so broken? How can one believe in a
system that doles out justice for 99
percent, yet never holds the 1 percent
to answer? Maybe, Michelle, when the
judge asks if you can follow the law as
he instructs you, you can reply, Yes,
as soon as I see people like George W.
Bush, Dick Cheney and that whole
gang, Wall Street crooks and banking
crooks being held to the same standard
under the law as the 99 percent are held
to, then I will be more than happy to
follow the law as the judge instructs.
Until then, I refuse to hold anybody
to answer for any crimes that the 1 per-
cent are never held to answer for. After
that, I dont think one would have to
worry about serving on a jury.

Court Judge Michael Kennys
16-page ruling issued last
Friday exposes the fraud perpetuated
by the California High-Speed Rail
Authority.
Voters set restrictions in 2008
when they supported linking major
metropolitan areas of the state:
Money must be secured and environ-
mental reviews completed before the
authority authorizes expenditures.
Kenny concludes it failed to clear
either hurdle. The authority abused
its discretion by approving a funding
plan that did not comply with the
requirements of the law.
For years now, Gov. Jerry Brown
and his puppet leading the authority
board, Dan Richard, have been perpe-
trating a bait-and-switch on
Californians. Voters were promised a
system from San Diego to Sacramento
at a cost of $45 billion. Today, the
project optimistically stands at $69
billion, but would link only San
Francisco with Los Angeles.
Anticipated ticket prices have
increased more than 50 percent, rider-
ship projections have been cut by
more than half, the opening date has
been pushed back nine years to 2029,
and the two-hour-and-40-minute man-
dated travel time from San Francisco
to Los Angeles remains doubtful.
Thats why the authority has never
lined up private-sector money prom-
ised to make the project pencil out.
Moreover, critical federal funding
remains a fantasy that relies on an
entirely different political environ-
ment in Washington.
In short, the plan is a nancial
wreck. But authority board members,
with the narrow approval of the
Legislature, continue to push ahead
even though polls show voters would
reject the 2008 measure today.
The rst planned segment would
stretch from Fresno to just north of
Bakerseld. But, as most recognize,
that would be of little use unless the
line is extended either north to San
Jose or south to the San Fernando
Valley.
Kenny ruled that the measure voters
approved required the authority before
starting work to line up money for a
usable segment to identify
sources of funds that were more than
merely theoretically possible, but
instead were reasonably expected to
be actually available when needed.
The authoritys own nancing plan,
the judge ruled, makes it absolutely
clear that there is, in reality, no rea-
sonably anticipated time of receipt
for any of the potential new federal
funds.
As for environmental review,
Kenny concluded that also should
have been completed for the entire
usable segment before approval of the
spending plan. That didnt happen.
Having concluded that the authority
abused its discretion, Kenny will next
decide what to do about it. The
answer: Apply the brakes.
Judge should halt Californias high-speed rail
Taking the fifth
L
ets make this clear drinking sangria in front
of your fifth-grade teacher is weird at any age.
Yet that was exactly what I was doing when a recently
reacquainted childhood friend reintroduced me to her
father at an event held in
my hometown.
Michelle, this is Don,
she said.
Um, no. Its not. Its Mr.
Knudsen.
The man standing next to
me might have been per-
fectly fine being called by
his first name now. Heck,
Im sure most people my
age who encounter him in
other circumstances, when
appropriate, do so. But he
taught me reading and math
and gave me an A on my
bloated report on the state
of Hawaii. He knew me back when sweatpants were cool
school wear and Id discovered layered hair styles. When
I exhausted then grew bored with the school-approved
books of my grade level, he gave me The Color Purple
from his own collection. He taught his students about
global land formations through plaster of Paris, paint
and some misguided belief in our creativity. Archipelago
was my favorite. He also once asked us to design a
dream house, for reasons I cannot recall. What I do
remember is turning in several stapled pages, a blue-
print for a 12-story tower including indoor swimming
pools plural! and some sort of crane contraption at
the front door to take visitors coats and hats. What can
I say? Back then I was a kid who went a little above and
beyond.
Fast-forward nearly three decades and he is a guy who
will still forever be Mr. Knudsen.
Yet that night Mr. Knudsen was standing next me as I
drank an adult beverage, albeit one made by his daughter
who also, by the way, turned out a lovely and potent
lemonade infused with sage and vodka for this event.
This is the same daughter who as I traveled through
his fifth-grade class was up there in sixth grade dating
my brother. Dating at least as much as one did in the
1980s in sixth grade. She said it was mostly exchang-
ing stickers and playing tether ball. Still, ew. Its my
brother no matter how much things change.
And certainly change they have. While I somehow
managed to remain untouched by age and maturity, my
friend grew up, expanded her shortened nickname back
to the full thing, grew her hair and dyed it red and
became a full-fledged adult. Her dad also added a few
years, moved around some schools including the
high school all of us in that particular public system
thought of as the scary one substituted yearbook
and AP Spanish classes for fifth grade curriculum (maybe
that explains the large number of English As a Second
Language students in my class, a detail Id never
thought about before) and eventually retired to a life
that includes volunteering at the hospital cath lab,
enjoying an empty nest and apparently watching his
former students inch closer to the age he was when
teaching them.
So and so is a teacher herself, he told me. Her brother?
Alawyer. Then theres this one and that one and, hey,
see that woman over there? She was in one of my high
school classes. Nothing ages you like having an adult
come over and tell you they remember reading Where
the Red Fern Grows in class, he conceded.
Id seen my former elementary school numerous times
over the years since my time there because it is located
across the street from my parents home. Portables came
in; playground equipment changed. The new sign out-
side the auditorium? When did that school get so fancy?
It seems so different, I told him.
You know the biggest change? he replied. Air condi-
tioning!
As his wife finished out her teaching career at the
school seems the facility finally got some air condi-
tioning which I dont particularly remember the class-
room lacking although he certainly did.
I used to hate it when all of you guys would come in
after recess in the hotter months, he said.
He probably never thought the day would come. Just
as back at my earlier age, faced with a wide open future
that couldnt come fast enough, I never would have pre-
dicted standing next to him drinking something
stronger than a Capri Sun and being asked to use his
first name.

Big movers
By Ken Sweet
NEW YORK Stocks fell sharply
Wednesday after the Federal Reserve
disclosed that its top ofcials were
mostly in agreement that the central
bank should end its massive bond-buy-
ing program.
The Dow Jones industrial average
fell 105 points. It was the indexs
sixth straight decline, the longest los-
ing streak since July 2012.
In the minutes from Feds July poli-
cy meeting, board members said it
might soon be time to slow the pur-
chases. The bond-buying program has
been in place in one form or another
since late 2008 to keep interest rates
low and encourage economic growth.
Traders have been worried about
weak earnings and have been looking
for clarity on how and when the Fed
will wind down its bond purchases.
Some investors believe the Feds
bond-buying has inated stock prices.
Brad McMillan, chief investment
ofcer for Commonwealth Financial,
said the market had been overreacting
to the possibility that the Fed is going
to taper off its bond purchases.
The market is starting to realize
that, yeah, the taper is going to hap-
pen and, maybe, it wont be the end of
the world, he said.
The Dow fell 105.44 points, or 0.7
percent, to 14,897.55. The Dow has
fallen 4.9 percent since hitting a
record high on Aug. 2.
The Standard & Poors 500 index fell
9.55 points, or 0.6 percent, to
1,642.80. The Nasdaq composite lost
13.80 points, or 0.4 percent, to
3,599.79.
Guy Berger, U.S. economist with
RBS Securities, said the Fed minutes
were mostly in line with what the mar-
ket had expected.
The minutes are very consistent
with what Fed members have been say-
ing since June, when Fed Chairman
Ben Bernanke rst laid out the idea of
pulling back on bond purchases,
Berger said.
The Fed has been purchasing $85
billion in bonds a month since
December. Berger expects the Fed may
reduce that to $65 billion after the cen-
tral bank meets in September.
Augusts employment report will
be very important, he said.
Bond yields have risen dramatically
the last few weeks as investors antici-
pate the end of the Feds program.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year
Treasury note jumped sharply
Wednesday, to 2.89 percent from 2.82
percent the day before. The 10-year
note is used as a benchmark to deter-
mine interest rates on many types of
loans, from individual mortgages to
borrowing by large corporations.
Retail stocks were once again in
focus, and not in a good way. Target,
like many other retailers in the last
two weeks, issued a muted sales out-
look for the rest of the year. The stock
dropped $2.45, or 3.6 percent, to
$65.50.
Staples sank $2.57, or 15.3 percent,
to $14.27 after the office supplies
chain reported earnings and sales that
missed expectations of nancial ana-
lysts. The company also slashed its
full-year prot forecast.
American Eagle Outtters plunged
$1.62, or 10 percent, to $14.27 after
reporting that it had to slash prices
because shoppers are reluctant to
spend. American Eagle is the latest
teen-apparel retailer to report disap-
pointing earnings or cut their outlook,
following Urban Outtters and others.
One bright spot in retail was Home
Depot competitor Lowes, which was
up 3.9 percent, making it the second-
biggest gainer in the S&P 500. The
home-improvement retail chain said it
earned 88 cents per share in the period
ending Aug. 2, ahead of nancial ana-
lysts expectations of 79 cents per
share. The company also raised its
full-year sales and prot forecasts, cit-
ing the improving outlook for the
U.S. housing market.
Dow sinks for sixth day
Targets 2Q profit falls
13 percent on shopper caution
NEWYORK Target Corp. on Wednesday became the
latest in a string of companies that have lowered their
business expectations as they contend with an uncertain
economy.
The cheap chic retailer muted its annual prot forecast
after reporting a 13 percent drop in second-quarter prof-
it as its expansion into Canada its rst foray outside
the U.S. has proven more challenging than it expect-
ed.
But the company also is contending with mixed eco-
nomic signals that have caused it and its rivals, from
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. to Macys, to temper their fore-
casts for the remainder of the year. While jobs are easier
to get and the housing market is gaining momentum,
these improvements have not been enough to get most
Americans who are facing stagnant wage growth to
spend more freely.
Hewlett-Packard turns 3Q profit but revenue falls
NEWYORK Hewlett-Packard made a prot in the
latest quarter, reversing a huge loss a year ago that
stemmed from an $8 billion charge. But the technology
bellwethers revenue declined amid an ongoing weak-
ness in the PC market.
Hewlett-Packard Co. said Wednesday that it earned
$1.39 billion, or 29 cents per share, in the scal third
quarter that ended July 31. Thats up from a loss of $8.86
billion, or $4.49 per share, a year ago when the results
included a charge to reect the shrinking value of
Electronic Data Systems, a technology consulting serv-
ice HP bought for $13 billion in 2008.
Business briefs

WASHINGTON For the first time
since 2009, previously occupied U.S.
homes are selling at a pace associated
with a healthy market.
Sales jumped 6.5 percent in July to
a seasonally adjusted annual rate of
5.4 million, the National Association
of Realtors said Wednesday. Over the
past 12 months, sales have surged
17.2 percent. The trend shows that
housing remains a driving force for
the economy even as mortgage rates
have risen from record lows.
Buyers have been purchasing previ-
ously occupied homes at an annual
pace above 5 million for three straight
months. The last time that happened
was in 2007. Sales are far above the
3.45 million pace of July 2010, the
low point after the housing bubble
burst. Analysts generally think a
healthy sales pace is roughly between
5 and 5.5 million.
Buyers last month werent dissuaded
by higher long-term mortgage rates,
which have jumped, on average, a full
percentage point since early May. The
higher rates might have led some
potential buyers to buy in July out of
fear that rates will rise further.
Julys report captures completed
sales, which typically reflect mort-
gage rates that were locked in a
month or two earlier. A fuller effect
of higher mortgage rates might not
be clear until August home sales are
reported next month.
Sales could slow later this year,
especially if the Federal Reserve scales
back its bond purchases. The Feds
bond purchases have kept long-term
interest rates, including mortgage
rates, historically low.
For now, the average rate on the 30-
year xed mortgage remains low by
historical standards. It was 4.4 percent
last week.
The one-percentage-point jump in
mortgage rates in the past year doesnt
seem to have slowed home sales, said
Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO
Capital Markets. The jump in rates
might have pulled forward some pur-
chases, so a few more months of data
are likely needed to wave the all-clear
ag.
U.S. home sales hit 5.4 million in July
By Christopher S. Rugaber
WASHINGTON The Federal
Reserve appears on track to slow its
bond purchases by the end of this year
if the economy continues to improve.
But it remains divided over the exact
timing of the move.
Thats the message from the minutes
of the Feds July 30-31 meeting
released Wednesday.
Afew policymakers said they wanted
to assess more economic data before
deciding when to scale back the central
banks $85 billion a month in
Treasury and mortgage bond purchas-
es. These policymakers emphasized
the importance of being patient, the
minutes said.
Others said it might soon be time
to slow the purchases, which have
helped keep long-term borrowing rates
near record lows.
Theres more debating than decid-
ing, said Michael Hanson, senior
economist at Bank of America Merrill
Lynch. We didnt get a strong indica-
tion that the committee broadly is pre-
pared to taper in September.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Those who follow junior college football for
more than just the play on the eld know the
College of San Mateo is a hot bed for transfer-
ing talent. This season alone, the Bulldogs set
a program record with over 30 players nding
four-year university homes.
But this week, CSM has entered into unchart-
ed, national-championship waters perhaps
stamping its name as the premiere junior col-
lege transfer programs in the country.
The Bulldogs formerly announced that offen-
sive lineman Dominick Jackson has committed
to the University of Alabama where the BCS
championship trophy has called home three of
the last four years.
Jacksons transfer caps off a year when CSM
is sending Bulldogs to Louisiana State, Kansas
State, UNLV, Cal, Washington State and the
University of Hawaii, just to name a few.
Jackson committed to UCLAand the Bruins
in early June and held offers from Arizona State,
Arkansas, Florida, Oregon, USC and Texas
A&M among others.
But once Nick Saban and the Roll Tide come
calling, there is no such thing as a no, thank
you especially if its been a dream of yours
since you put on pads at Homestead High
School in San Jose.
Jacksons rating differs from site to site, but
there is no wavering on his talent level. Hes
listed at 6-7 and 315 pounds with a four-star
recruiting rating to his name. Alot of websites
list him as the No. 1 junior college offensive
tackle in California and as high as the No. 2
overall junior college prospect in the nation.
According to the Alabama athletic website,
the Crimson Tide now boast 14 recruits in their
2014 class. Jackson joins 4-star guard Viane
Talamaivao and 3-star center JC Hassenauer.
A BCS-caliber recruit out of high school,
Jackson came to the Bulldogs and anchored an
already-talented offensive line, guiding CSM to
a 7-4 record, including a 49-20 win over Sierra
College in the Bothman Bulldog Bowl.
The Bulldogs ran for over 3,200 yards in
2012, averaging over 271 yards a game and ve
per carry. Those numbers were all good for tops
in the NorCal confererence arguably the
most competitive conference in the country.
Jackson is slated to move from tackle to
guard this season for the Bulldogs. CSM begins
its 2013-2014 season on Sept. 6 at Laney
College. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
From CSM to Alabama
DAILY JOURNAL SPORTS FILE
CSM offensive lineman Dominick Jackson,a sophomore out of Homestead High,has committed
to play at Alabama for the 2014 season.
Y
ou know its a slow news day for
the San Francisco 49ers beat
writers when the only story com-
ing out of training camp was coach Jim
Harbaugh defending his past defense of
since-traded wide receiver A.J. Jenkins.
For those that dont remember, early
during camp last season, the media ques-
tioned the 49ers pick of Jenkins with
the 30th pick in the 2012 draft. There
were already rumblings he was nowhere
near worthy of that pick. Harbaugh then
vociferously defend-
ed the selection and
the player himself,
calling those who
questioned the pick
as clueless, among
other things.
I dont see how
anyone could have
expected Harbaugh
to say anything else.
He is already well
known for glowing
praise of players
regardless of talent
or performance like any good coach
does.
Now, a year later, it was obvious
Jenkins did not have it and he was trad-
ed to Kansas City for another struggling
young pro in receiver Jon Baldwin.
Heres a team that is one of the
favorites to win the Super Bowl after
coming agonizingly close to winning it
last season and this is the story out of
camp Wednesday? According to the
Associated Press report, Harbaugh
brought up Jenkins unsolicited, but that
doesnt mean that should be the focal
point of the story. Any of the reporters in
attendance could have easily steered the
conversation to any other topic, but it
appears they just let Harbaugh ramble on
about the media bullying young players
and then wrote their reports.
Im curious if this was the only story
line of the day. Usually at training
camps, the team all but decides what the

NAPA After four weeks of training
camp in wine country, the Oakland Raiders
have packed up and headed home with hopes
that their work here will translate to the
playing eld when the season starts Sept. 8.
The Raiders held their nal practice in
Napa on Wednesday before moving back to
their full-time headquarters in Alameda.
They play their third exhibition game on
Friday night against the Chicago Bears.
Coach Dennis Allen said he thought it was
a successful camp that allowed him to evalu-
ate the players he wants to keep for the reg-
ular season.
The Raiders endured a few injuries in the
past month, with the most signicant being
a torn left triceps that is expected to side-
line left tackle Jared Veldheer for at least
half the season.
But despite that blow, the Raiders are
leaving Napa with condence.
Were a different team now than we were
at the start of camp on Day 1, quarterback
Matt Flynn said. Weve
made a lot of improve-
ments, gotten used to
each other, weve devel-
oped a lot of chemistry
and I learned that theres
a big passion for the
game from everyone,
from the top to the bot-
tom. I like this team, and
I like the work ethic and
I have big expectations for us.
The Raiders got a little boost when sec-
ond-round offensive tackle Menelik Watson
went through his rst complete practice in
training camp. Watson had missed virtually
all of camp because of a calf injury and is
needed now more than ever with Veldheer
out.
Watson rst injured the calf in July and
opened camp on the non-football injury
list. He was cleared to practice on Aug. 7,
but lasted less than 30 minutes before re-
injuring the calf. That sidelined him for two
Raiders break camp
SANTACLARA A.J. Jenkins no longer
is in a San Francisco 49ers uniform after
being dealt to Kansas City. Coach Jim
Harbaugh is still coming to the defense of
his former receiver.
Harbaugh took the opportunity
Wednesday to again criticize those who
delivered a negative take on Jenkins, the
2012 rst-round pick who underachieved in
his one-plus season with San Francisco.
Asked a question Wednesday about Jon
Baldwin, the receiver the 49ers acquired
from the Chiefs on Monday for Jenkins,
Harbaugh weaved Jenkins into the discus-
sion unsolicited.
I dont think its fair to bully or label a
young player, though I fully understand that
people are entitled to their opinion and per-
spective, Harbaugh said. However, I pre-
fer the criticism Id appreciate if the crit-
icism is directed
toward me. Im responsi-
ble, and I certainly accept
it. Actually, welcome it.
Jenkins, the 30th over-
all pick in 2012,
appeared in just three
games last season and
didnt make a single
catch. With the Achilles
tendon injury to No. 1
receiver Michael Crabtree, he was viewed as
a leading candidate to start this season
opposite Anquan Boldin.
But Jenkins hardly distinguished himself
through the early portion of training camp
and two exhibition games.
Harbaugh was asked to clarify what he felt
responsible for in relation to the media crit-
icism directed at Jenkins.

SAN FRANCISCO Barry Zito under-
stands how unpredictable a game baseball
can be. Making his rst start in three weeks
only added to the mystery for the Giants left-
hander.
Zito failed to get out of the fourth inning
and San Francisco lost 12-1 to the Boston
Red Sox on Wednesday.
I was excited to get the ball, Zito said.
Some strange stuff happened out there
today. Baseball is a strange game some-
times. The nature of the game is so unpre-
dictable. Thats why we all love it and why
we all hate it. You never know what youre
going to get when you come to the yard.
Zito gave up a two-run home run to Will
Middlebrooks with two outs in the second
and the pitcher on deck.
Were not happy about the way we
played, Zito said. Its fundamental base-
ball. That homer is on my back.
The Giants also made two errors, messed
up a bunt play and allowed a ball to fall safe-
ly between three elders.
Thats kind of a freak play, Giants rst
baseman Brandon Belt said of the base hit in
shallow right eld that led to three runs in
the third. You work on that stuff in spring
training. People have to communicate and
we didnt do that.
Zito (4-9) lasted 3 2-3 innings in his rst
start since July 30. He allowed six runs on
seven hits, walked two and struck out three.
We didnt play well at all, Giants man-
ager Bruce Bochy said. Were having a hard
time with the bats here. Its got to get better
with the pitching side and the hitting side.
Joaquin Arias homered among his two hits
for the Giants, who have lost three of four.
Not a whole lot went right today, Giants
catcher Buster Posey said. We have to come
out tomorrow and be ready to go. You try to
forget these games and even the good ones
you put behind you and get ready for the next
day.
Felix Doubront (9-6) rebounded from a
tough outing to pitch eight strong innings
for the Red Sox, who have won three of ve
and entered play in a virtual rst-place tie
with Tampa Bay in the AL East. Doubront
gave up one run on ve hits. He walked one
and struck out three.
Jacoby Ellsbury and Shane Victorino each
had three hits for Boston, with Victorino
driving in a run. Ellsbury scored twice and
got his league-leading 46th stolen base.
Dustin Pedroia added two hits and drove in a
run.
Any time you get hits out of the top of
the lineup good things can happen,
Victorino said. We just have to keep it
going.
The Giants have allowed 10 runs or more
in four interleague games, their most in any
season.
Zito, the 2002 Cy Young winner, is 0-25
in 29 games in which he has allowed six or
more runs in a San Francisco uniform. He
never allowed more than six runs in a game
with the Oakland Athletics.
NOTES: Zito owns a career mark of 5-7,
with a 5.52 ERA, in 15 games against the
Red Sox. ... RHP Matt Cain (8-8, 4.35) will
start for the Giants on Thursday night
against Pittsburgh. ... The Giants went 0 for

Neither BrandonBelt, left, nor Hunter Pence could track down a shallow pop y during the
Giants 12-1 loss to Boston Wednesday afternoon.
By Michael Wagaman
OAKLAND Athletics manager Bob
Melvin was too angry at his team to be con-
cerned with a close call at home plate.
After another disheartening loss in which
Oakland once again came up short with run-
ners in scoring position and blew a lead for a
second straight day, the normally even-tem-
pered Melvin had far more important things
on his mind.
Everything that we did today is whats
wrong with us, Melvin said after the As 5-3
loss to the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday.
We didnt add on early, we didnt make big
pitches when we had to, we didnt come
through in situational at-bats. Ugly, ugly
game for us and its been going on for a
while.
Melvin had good reason to be unhappy.
Oakland nished 4-5 on its nine-game
homestand. Four of the ve losses were to the
Mariners and Houston Astros, two teams well
behind the second-place As in the ALWest.
The latest loss was typical of the others.
The As stranded three runners at third, one at
second and had another runner get thrown out
at the plate.
One day after blowing a four-run lead in a 7-
4 loss to Seattle, Oakland wasted another
early lead.
Were leaving guys on third with less than
two outs, were not getting guys over and
thats what cost us the game today, Melvin
said.
We continually address it. Sometimes I
think we do it too much to where we put too
much pressure on guys. But it comes to a
point where you just have to step up. You
have to grind it, you have to get it done and
were not.
Brendan Ryan hit a go-ahead two-run dou-
ble off Oakland starter A.J. Grifn (10-9) in
the sixth and added an RBI single in the
eighth to help the Mariners rally.
Michael Morse and Brad Miller homered for
Seattle, which overcame an uneven start by
Hisashi Iwakuma to beat the As for the fourth
time in the past ve games between the divi-
sion rivals.
Iwakuma (12-6) gave up a pair of home runs
and pitched with runners in scoring position
most of the afternoon, but limited the damage
to win his second straight. The Mariners
right-hander struck out four and walked two in
seven innings.
Acouple times he got hit hard, then he was
able to make the adjustment and get the ball
back down in the lower part of the strike
zone, Seattle interim manager Robby
Thompson said.
When he gets in trouble, a lot of times he
has a great knack of getting out of it with
maybe a run when maybe it could end up
being a big inning.
Coco Crisp and Brandon Moss hit home
runs for the As, who are 15-16 since the All-
Star break.
Ryan entered the game in a 9-for-75 slump
and struck out in his rst two at-bats before
doubling off Grifn with two outs in the
sixth.
Ryan hit a two-out, 0-2 pitch sharply down
the third base line that glanced off the glove
of Oaklands Josh Donaldson and ricocheted
into the As bullpen.
Oaklands struggles continue

SAN FRANCISCO Perfect con-
ditions and a pair of completed races
nally showed what most had long
expected in the Louis Vuitton Cup
nals: the Kiwis are dominating the
competition.
Skipper Dean Barker and Emirates
Team New Zealand sailed two near-
awless races Wednesday, overpow-
ering Italys Luna Rossa to take a 4-1
lead in the nals of the Americas Cup
challenger series.
Its fantastic, isnt it? Thats what
the crowds have come to see two
boats nishing two races and San
Francisco at its best, Emirates tacti-
cian Ray Davies said. Good, close
racing there at times. It was always
going to be hard to keep the racing
close. But we saw some glimpses of
that.
Brief glimpses, anyway.
In the rst races of the series with-
out a mechanical failure, Emirates
looked every bit like the boat to beat
on sparkling San Francisco Bay.
Barker guided the Kiwis ahead by the
rst mark both times, leaving the
Luna Rossa crew and its silver sailing
gear glistening from behind the rest
of the way.
Emirates won the rst race by 2
minutes, 18 seconds and the second
race by 1:28. One race is planned for
Friday, previously a scheduled day
off.
The winner of the best-of-13 series
will face defending champion Oracle
Team USAin the 34th Americas Cup
starting Sept. 7. And just about
everybody thinks the Kiwis will
advance.
We believe, and I think everyone
understands, that we believe that we
have a slower boat than them, Luna
Rossa skipper Max Sirena said. And
to beat them, we have to do every-
thing 200 percent better and they
probably need to make some mis-
takes.
Just completing real races was a
major success for the troubled regatta.
Only one boat nished the rst
three races of the challenger nals.
And ofcials had to call off the sec-
ond race each of the rst three days
because of wind that exceeded the
safety limit.
With lighter wind and a blue sky,
the latest competitions ended almost
before they began.
In the rst race, Luna Rossa helms-
man Chris Draper moved his 72-foot
catamaran too close to the start line.
He had perfect inside position but had
to pull back so he didnt cross before
the clock started, and by the time he
picked up speed again, Emirates
already had a large lead.
Barkers patient tactic allowed
Emirates to hit the start line at full
acceleration and leave Luna Rossa
difcult air in its path. The Kiwis hit
a top speed of nearly 44 knots, or
about 50 mph, by the rst mark and
pulled off several smooth foiling
gybes when a boat changes direc-
tion while sailing downwind and
stays on the foils, without the hulls
touching the water.
Momentum goes a long way in
these boats, Barker said.
Any chance the Italians had to
come back ended when they sailed out
of bounds on the left side of the
course while the Kiwis were extend-
ing their lead upwind foiling toward
the Golden Gate Bridge. They
received a two-boat lengths penalty,
though they took even longer to
reach full speed again.
The next competition started about
30 minutes later.
In the second race, both boats got
off to an even start. But the Kiwis
covered the Italians every move,
foiling far better and far faster to pull
away by the third leg of the ve-leg
race.
Foiling is when the boat is going
fast enough to pop up onto the dag-
gerboard in the leeward hull and
winglets on the bottom of the rudders
and ride over the tops of the waves,
its hulls out of the water. That reduces
drag and increases speed some-
thing the Kiwis have been far better
at this summer.
Luna Rossa is still winless against
favored Emirates when the Kiwis
catamaran is functional.
The Kiwis went 5-0 against the
Italians in the round-robins, includ-
ing the opener that Luna Rossa boy-
cotted because of a rules spat. The
Kiwis twice beat the Italians by more
than 5 minutes, and the closest mar-
gin was 2:19.
The current course is three legs
shorter than the one used during the
round-robins. But at this point, the
difference between the two boats
when operational remains the
same.
If we go out and sail the best we
can, we feel pretty good about things.
We know our boats good, its pretty
quick. We knew our crew is slick,
Emirates grinder Chris McAsey said.
If were on our Agame, were pretty
condent for sure.
Another win for TeamNew Zealand
LAS VEGAS Los Angeles
Clippers star Chris Paul was elected
president of the NBAplayers asso-
ciation Wednesday, replacing Derek
Fisher and giving the reeling
organization some much-needed
star power.
The vote by NBAplayer represen-
tatives came six months after the
union red Billy Hunter as execu-
tive director, a position that
remains vacant and follows about
18 months of in-ghting and drama
that occurred during the negotia-
tions for the latest collective bar-
gaining agreement. Hunter coun-
tered with a wrongful-termination
lawsuit in May, accusing Fisher of
conspiring with NBA ofcials dur-
ing the 2011 lockout.
Its not about me as president or
the rst vice president, its about
the players as a whole, Paul said in
a conference call on Wednesday
night.
As diplomatic as Paul wanted to
be, there was still a feeling among
many players and observers that
putting a big name in the big chair
would help galvanize the union.
Paul, a six-time All-Star, is the rst
marquee player to hold the top spot
in the union since Patrick Ewings
run ended in 2001.
Role players Michael Curry,
Antonio Davis and Fisher followed
Ewing.
That wasnt a requirement, but I
think it gives us a little more
oomph, I guess, having somebody
like him wanting to step up and
take on that role, Charlotte
Bobcats forward Anthony Tolliver
said in a phone interview. It means
a lot.
Paul served as a vice president for
the last four years, so he has inti-
mate knowledge of the inner work-
ings of the union, and the turmoil
that engulfed it recently.
It was something I saw as a chal-
lenge, something I knew Id be able
to handle, Paul said. Its an unbe-
lievable opportunity, a lot of
responsibility comes with this
position but Im very fortunate to
have an outstanding of committee
guys. The past couple of days have
been outstanding, the dialogue
weve had as an executive commit-
tee also with the players that have
come in town, it was amazing.

story of the day will be and will make that available to the
media. Thats why every media outlet in the Bay Area,
along with the Associated Press, will have basically the
same story about the 49ers, Raiders, Giants, As, etcetera.
It seems to me, however, that someone could have dug
around for something else. Jenkins is gone. The 49ers
made a mistake in drafting him. It happens. Harbaugh and
general manager Trent Baalke are not, after all, perfect. But
guess what? Bill Walsh swung and missed on some draft
picks as well, just as every professional sports organiza-
tion.
Its almost as if Jenkins is a bigger story now that hes
gone than he ever was when he was here. Time to move on.

Im responsible for helping pick the draft picks, fully
responsible for coaching the players up, and I willingly
accept those responsibilities, Harbaugh said.
In July 2012, Harbaugh called out as clueless those who
predicted Jenkins would be a bust before he even played in a
preseason game.
Referencing the fact Baldwin, a 2011 rst-round choice of
the Chiefs, has been labeled an underachiever, Harbaugh
said: I know a lot of people have kind of made some sport
of A.J. and Jonathan, and my comments and that type of
thing. I feel the same as I did a year ago when I made those
comments.
The 49ers have some important decisions to make at
receiver in advance of their Sept. 8 season opener against
Green Bay. Theyre still trying to identify the No. 2 wideout
alongside Boldin; Marlon Moore and Kyle Williams appear
to be front-runners. Moore, a fourth-year veteran signed as
a free agent in the offseason, in particular has helped his
cause. Hes started the rst two exhibitions and has earned
Harbaughs praise.
Theres the physical and the mentality, you need both,
Harbaugh said. Hes denitely a talented player physically,
also tough mentally. Those things are a very good combi-
nation.
Moore said hes simply trying to prove he deserves play-
ing time.
Complacency is death, man, Moore said. The moment
you think you have a spot or any kind of position, thats
when your output declines.
Harbaugh mentioned Austin Collie, Lavelle Hawkins and
Baldwin as receivers who could take over some snaps
Jenkins was getting in preseason games. Veteran Mario
Manningham is on the physically unable to perform list
and will miss much of the regular season.
49ERS
more weeks, cutting short valuable learning time for
Watson.
Its been a long process, Watson said. It took longer
than I thought but it was good to get out there and get a
couple of reps. Its been good though. Ive been able to
get into the playbook, get my head around that. Condent
in all that stuff now. Just have to put a couple of days
together and keep building on that.
Watson said it will take a few days to get back up to
speed and he is expected to get signicant playing time in
the exhibition nale against Seattle on Aug. 29.
The Raiders drafted Watson in the second round in April
knowing he was a bit raw having played just two years of
football. A former basketball player from England,
Watson played one year in junior college and one year at
Florida State before being drafted.
He was supposed to challenge Khalif Barnes for the
starting right tackle job but now might be needed on the
more important left side with Veldheer injured.
Alex Barron, who has not played in the NFLthe past two
years, has replaced Veldheer but the Raiders are still gur-
ing out who the starting ve will be when the season
starts.
Every day we get a little closer to being able to sort it
out, Allen said. Its like having a 500-piece jigsaw puz-
zle and youre trying to t those pieces together, and the
longer you work at it, the longer you look at it, the easier
it is to put those pieces into place. I think were getting
closer to guring that out and I think the offensive line
has responded positively.
Veldheer is a candidate to be placed on injured reserve
with a designation to return, which would require him to
miss at least the rst eight weeks. The Raiders can place
Veldheer on that list starting Sept. 3. He would be required
to sit for six weeks and then could practice for two more
before being eligible to be activated in time for the teams
eighth game on Nov. 3 against Philadelphia.
He said he hurt the arm in a pass protection drill and tried
to play through the injury before deciding to have surgery.
So now instead of protecting Flynns blindside, Veldheer
can only watch for the next few months.
The guys are working hard and I have great faith in that
unit and trust in that unit, he said. Those guys are going
to do awesome. I wish I could be out there with them but,
like I said, I got to get this thing better.
NOTES: QB Terrelle Pryor switched jersey numbers
from No. 6 to the No. 2 he wore in college at Ohio State.
Pryor wasnt allowed to wear No. 2 when he arrived in
Oakland in August 2011 by then-coach Hue Jackson as the
Raiders didnt want to draw any comparisons to bust
JaMarcus Russell. I did a double-take, though, said
Flynn, who played with Russell at LSU. His jersey was a
little big for him. ... RB Latavius Murray had arthroscop-
ic surgery on his injured ankle this week.

Google and NFL meet;
Sunday Ticket up for grabs?
PORTLAND, Ore. Google has
been holding talks with the
National Football League, raising
speculation that the Internet
monolith is seeking new inroads
into television.
Other tech companies like Apple
are reportedly in talks with cable
providers to boost access to
blockbuster television shows
through their devices.
With Google sitting on a cash
pile of $48 billion, the leagues
Sunday Ticket package is easily
within its reach.
The contract is currently held by
DirecTV, which pays about $1 bil-
lion annually for the rights. That
contract, however, expires at the
end of the 2014 season.
Earlier this year, Google Chief
Financial Ofcer Patrick Pichette
said it serves the shareholder best
to actually have that strategic
ability to pounce, when there is
the opportunity to make a major
acquisition.
The NFL conrmed its meetings
with Google Wednesday, but
declined to discuss the nature of
those talks, as did Google.
Members of our office meet
often with innovative leaders in
Silicon Valley and around the
world, the NFL said in a state-
ment. We are constantly looking
for ways to make our game better
on the eld, in the stadium and for
fans.
The Sunday Ticket Package pro-
vides fans with access to most out-
of-market NFL games not tele-
vised nationally on ESPN or on
NBC.

eight hours prior to the event, attendees are
informed of the rst stop. Three restaurants
follow, with the last including a dessert.
We make sure there are different types of
cuisine, said Jennifer Gutierrez, Dishcrawl
community manager for San Jose.
Burlingame Avenue is a great community
to tap into. We serve the best dishes at the
restaurants and make sure there are different
types of cuisine.
Each events host gives introductions at
the restaurants to give the visitors a back-
stage experience, Gutierrez said.
Visitors meet the owners and chefs and try
the restaurants specialties. Gutierrez calls
it a real promotional project which helps
boost local economies.
The companys founder, Tracy Lee, was
working at large tech company in the area
and unsatisfied with her job when she
dreamed up Dishcrawl.
I wanted to do something more with my
life, Lee said. So I started hosting these
events and they took off from there. Silicon
Valley is all about dreams and hopes, and I
fell into the idea. I thought, why dont I do
an event where taking people around and
eating at awesome places? Apparently peo-
ple love it.
Just a month ago, the startup raised an
undisclosed amount of money in an angel
funding round.
One of the rst Dishcrawls was in San
Mateo back in 2010 and it returns again
Wednesday, Aug. 28 with a start at the newly
opened Three Restaurant on Third Avenue.
In an unrelated venture that helps paint San
Mateo as a food destination, the city is also
part of the Best of the Road campaign to win
Best Food this year. If the city wins, it
will be featured in Best of the Roads 2015
atlas, a phone app and a party.
Other Dishcrawl cities include San
Francisco, New York, Montreal, Ottawa,
San Jose, Toronto, Philadelphia, Portland,
Washington, D.C., and more. It is in 125
cities now. Gutierrez said the startup hopes
to tap into San Francisco more in the future.
There are no age restrictions. Vegetarian
options are available, however, they may
not be able to accommodate other dietary
restrictions. Drinks are not included in the
ticket price, but drink specials and pairings
may be available at discretion of the partic-
ipating restaurant.
The Burlingame Dishcrawl starts 7 p.m.
Sept. 11. For more information visit

FOOD
By Lee Reich
Ive said it before and Ill say it again:
Home-grown tomatoes are NOT the best-
tasting ones. Not necessarily, that is.
Now, Im not advocating tossing
in your trowel and doing your
harvesting at the supermar-
ket. What I am saying is
that choosing the best
variety is the important
thing if
y o u r e
l o o k -
ing to
grow a
great -
t a s t -
i n g
t omat o.
Grow an
Early Girl to
perfection, harvest
it at its peak of avor and
take a bite, and youll taste a good
tomato. But not in my opinion
a great tomato.
Atomato that has been handled carefully
keeps pretty well for a couple of days, so
you could actually buy a great-tasting toma-
to from a store or farm stand. But only if
that tomato is a great-tast-
ing variety.
Unfortunately, the
best-tasting vari-
eties dont usually
have the qualities
demanded of a com-
mercial tomato:
tough skins to
withstand han-
dling, high
yields, con-
c e n t r a t e d
r i p e n i n g ,
disease resist-
ance.
So you do
generally have to
grow your own to get the
best taste. And now is a good
time to start, by doing two
things.
1. TASTE A LOT OF TOMATOES
Try eating various kinds of tomatoes
now, while they are abundant and tasty.
Taste the varieties offered at farm stands and
local farms, and those growing in the back-
yards of friends and neighbors. Cook up and
taste any varieties you want to consider for
canning, because cooking a tomato dramat-
ically changes its flavor. A fresh San
Marzano tomato tastes like cotton but
cooks into a delectable sauce.
Fresh or cooked, youll be amazed at the
range in flavor among tomato varieties.
Settle for nothing but the best.
1. SOURCE SEEDS
Once youve found some great-tasting
tomato varieties, plan for next year. If you
have the varietys name, you may be able
to find it in a seed catalog and simply order
seeds for next season. Good sources for
many tomato varieties include Tomato
Growers Supply Company ((888) 478-
7333, www.tomatogrowers.com), Totally
Tomatoes ((803) 663-0016, www.totally-
tomato.com), Sustainable Seed Co., ((877)
620-SEED, http://sustainableseedco.com)
and Seed Savers Exchange ((319) 382-
5990, www.seedsavers.org).
But theres no need to forsake the best
tomatoes just because you cant put a name
on them. Many great-tasting tomatoes are
nonhybrid, or heirloom, varieties. That
means you can easily save the seeds.
Seeds from hybrid tomatoes also often
yield plants with good-tasting fruits
sometimes even fruits identical to those
from the mother plant if they were
called hybrid by seed sellers merely to
discourage seed saving.
Saving tomato seeds entails nothing
much more than squeezing a bit of the
seed-gel mix out of the cavity of a tomato
fruit into a glass. That gel contains
inhibitors that keep the seeds from sprout-
ing while still inside the fruit. Leach and
ferment those inhibitors away by adding
some water to the seed-gel mix. After let-
ting the slurry sit for a day or so, pour it
through a fine strainer, wash the seeds
well in running water, and spread them out
to dry. Now youre all set for good eating
next year.
By the way, the tomato seeds Im squir-
relling away now are from the heirloom
varieties Gardeners Delight, Belgian
Giant, Amish Paste and Anna Russian, as
well as the hybrid Sungold and two
unnamed varieties passed down to me from
a couple of local gardeners. Mmmm.
Plan now for great-tasting tomatoes next year
klers. New complaints were led by former
residents Tanesha Fobbs, Angela Parks and
several others Tuesday.
The blaze was the fault of KDF
Hallmarks failure to properly inspect,
maintain and safeguard the property from
a foreseeable unit fire, according to the
very first complaint filed by the Jorge
and Juanita Chavez July 16.
Six weeks after the deadly re, many of
the former residents are still not able to nd
housing nor recover all of their belong-
ings.
Redwood City ofcials along with other
service providers from the county and local
nonprots have hosted a series of town hall
meetings at the Fair Oaks Community
Center to update residents on how to
retrieve their belongings and tips on nd-
ing permanent housing.
Many of the former residents received
housing assistance from the county includ-
ing section 8 vouchers and many are now
living in motels on housing vouchers that
expire at the end of the month.
Landlord KDF Hallmark refunded resi-
dents July rent and returned deposits and
has also provided letters of recommenda-
tions for the former tenants to help them
nd new housing.
Residents were only given 15 minutes
two days after the re broke out to go inside
their units to take back any of their belong-
ings. Some of the residents contend their
units only suffered water damage and that
they should have been able to get all of their
belongings back already. Much of the third
floor of the complex was completely
destroyed by the re and the rest of the
building suffered major water and smoke
damage.
Fire victims are still in need of everyday
household items such as kitchenware. Items
can be dropped off by appointment only on
Fridays, between 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Extra
Space Storage, 871 Willow St. (in Redwood
City just south of Woodside Road). Please
call Bonnie Miller to coordinate at 280-
4266.

By Linda Lombardi
Eat local is the foodie
mantra, and nothing is more
local than an egg from your own
backyard.
That enticement has led many
city dwellers and suburbanites to
consider putting up a coop and
keeping chickens. The online
c o m m u n i t y
BackYardChickens.com, for
example, has more than 200,000
members, about half of whom
have joined in the last two years.
But whats the cost in time and
money and what will the
neighbors think?
Sandy Schmidt of Silver
Spring, Md., compares the time
required for basic chicken care to
that for a more familiar pet: Its
about like having a cat, she
says. Make sure they have food
and water every day, scoop out
the coop like a litter box
and let them out of the coop.
One big difference, though, is
that your neighbors may never
even see your cat, while many
people worry about the smell and
noise of chickens.
Rob Ludlow of
BackyardChickens.com thinks
these concerns arent usually rel-
evant to the small size of the
average backyard flock. After all,
he says, What if everyone
thought owning a dog in your
backyard would smell and sound
like a dog kennel?
Still, neither dogs nor chick-
ens are silent, so consideration
is important. Roosters make
most of the noise and arent legal
in most places, so be aware that
if you decide to start with chicks,
the sexes cant always be distin-
guished at birth. You can avoid
this problem by getting adult
hens, or make sure you get a
breed where the sex differences
are obvious.
There are about four or five
breeds out of two or three hundred
that can be sexed at birth, just by
looking at the color, says Tyler
Phillips of Rent A Coop in
Potomac, Md.
Even hens, however, can turn
out to be more talkative than
expected, as Lisa Sandbank of
Santa Monica found out.
People said, Oh, when they
lay an egg they do a little thing
... but its longer and louder than
I imagined, she says.
Both Schmidt and Sandbank
say their neighbors report hear-
ing the chickens, although some
claim to enjoy the sound (and the
regular gifts of eggs they receive
to help keep the peace).
Schmidt started out with one of
Phillips rental coops, which she
planned to return if the neigh-
bors complained. About half a
dozen such businesses across the
country have opened in the last
few years, so this kind of trial
chicken-keeping is a growing
opt i on.
Besides neighbors, there are
other chicken-keeping issues to
consider. Be aware that chick-
ens:
Might not mix well with your
current pets. Schmidt knew she
couldnt have chickens with the
dog she used to have, and
Sandbank had to gradually and
carefully introduce her chickens
and her cats.
Need to be cared for whatever
the weather, and when you go on
vacation. Schmidts coop from
Rent A Coop is portable and fits
in a minivan, so she took it to a
friends house before a recent
trip. But for a conventional
coop, youll need an agreeable
friend or a pet-sitting company.
Produce fertilizer and eat
bugs, but also have less benefi-
cial effects on your garden. One
thing I didnt anticipate is that
they like to scratch in loose
dirt, says Schmidt. Shes had to
add stones or chicken wire to
some beds to prevent digging.
Require qualified vet care,
which may be hard to find.
Sandbanks one experience with
an avian vet was less than satis-
factory, and Phillips suggests
going first to experienced chick-
en-keepers online for tips to
pass on to any vet that you con-
sult.
Finally, if you decide that
chickens will fit into your
lifestyle and your neighborhood,
theres one big long-term issue
to consider: Hens dont lay eggs
their whole lives.
What you do when they stop
may depend on why youre keep-
ing them in the first place.
For Schmidt, who used to be a
vegetarian, part of her motiva-
tion is to educate her children in
the reality of food production.
I dont know whether Ill real-
ly do it or not, but from the
beginning Ive told the kids that
when the chickens get too old to
l ay, we might eat them, she
says. I dont know if I could go
through with it myself, but I
might give them to someone
else.
To others, chickens are mainly
pets; Sandbanks partner doesnt
even eat eggs.
The eggs are not the point,
she says. Theyre our pets now
and they always will be. The eggs
are a gas, theyre fun, but I like
giving them away more than eat-
ing them.
Downplaying the eggs also
makes sense when you consider
that with the initial expense of
setting up a coop, the eggs are,
in fact, no bargain.
Once youve got it going its
economical, but the initial
expense of the coop and the
chickens blows that all out of the
water, says Schmidt. Theyre
the most expensive eggs youve
ever eaten.
Backyard chickens? A hard-boiled assessment
If you decide that chickens will t into your lifestyle and your neighborhood, theres one big long-term issue to
consider: Hens dont lay eggs their whole lives.

Smartphones that respond to signals
from plants? Laptops that coordinate irri-
gation at dozens of vineyards? Remote
weather stations programmed to text frost
alerts?
Many commercial growers are using lap-
tops, tablets or smart phones to keep costs
down and production up. Home gardeners
too, if they can afford it.
Apps may get more attention, but theyre
small potatoes compared with the software
and online programs already at work or
being tested for horticultural use. Simply
scanning a monitor or applying a few key-
strokes can save water and fuel, redirect a
labor force or protect a crop.
The online-based software is really the
heart that drives all this technology, said
Paul Goldberg, director of operations at
Bettinelli Vineyards and a director of Napa
Valley Grapegrowers. A good portion of
my day is now spent monitoring vineyards
and making decisions to control certain
vineyard operations via my phone or tablet
in the eld.
Perhaps the most powerful viticultural
tool to come along in recent years is the
solar-powered remote weather station,
Goldberg said. These self-contained units
are scattered throughout hundreds of vine-
yards providing site-specific streaming
weather data.
Even more impressive is that the sta-
tions online software can be set to notify
growers with a phone call or text if some-
thing goes awry like a sudden pressure drop
from a broken irrigation pipe, a well run-
ning dry or a decline in temperature posing
a frost threat in the spring, he said.
Remote weather stations have become
the platforms for integrating other power-
ful technology to manage vineyards from
afar, Goldberg said.
Some examples:
Sap ow monitors that turn grapevines
into living sensors by telling growers
when or even if they need water. This tech-
nology paired with other sophisticated
tools has made irrigation much more of an
exact science, Goldberg said.
Wind machines controlled by computer,
tablet or smartphone.
Data collection. Growers can access
vineyard information, work orders, fertiliz-
er and irrigation programs, graphs, and a
variety of viticulture tools from tablets or
smart phones in the eld.
Horticulturists at The Ruth Bancroft
Garden in Walnut Creek meantime, irrigate
with a computerized system that automati-
cally shuts down after a certain amount of
water has been used rather than being oper-
ated by timers.
The amount of water that can come out
in a given time could be variable, so its
easy to over- or underwater if youre just
using a timer, said Andrew Wong,
Bancrofts head gardener. Theyre also
great if you live in a community that has
water restrictions. If youre allotted 500
gallons, then thats what youll use.
Another tech tool used at the garden is a
self-guided audio tour that responds to
prompts from smartphone users. It pro-
vides information not found in our garden
pamphlets, Wong said.
Burpee Home Gardens has introduced two
mobile web tools, not apps, using smart
phones as gardening tools. Gardeners can
specify the size and location of their plant
sites and My Garden Designer does the
rest, creating recipes for easily planted
containers or owerbeds. Burpee Garden
Coach is a free mobile web tool that pro-
vides online tutoring. Users customize
their proles by supplying their zip codes
to receive a continuing series of tips on
ower or vegetable gardening via text mes-
sages or email alerts.
Gardening tools go mobile on smartphones
Online software can be set to notify growers
with a phone call or text if something goes awry like a
sudden pressure drop from a broken irrigation pipe, a well running

yet led a motion to withdraw his plea
but has until Monday when a judge has
set aside two days for that request and,
if denied, sentencing on eight felony
counts of child molestation. He faces
between eight and 22 years in prison.
Wagstaffe said prosecutor Melissa
McKowan is currently reviewing the
new motion but undoubtedly we will
vigorously oppose it and strive to
make sure Aug. 26 is his sentencing.
McDougall did not return a call for
comment.
The mental tness of Ayres, 81, has
been a key factor in his prosecution
ever since his rst trial ended with a
hung jury and a second hit a lengthy
delay while doctors, a jury and then a
judge wrestled with whether he has
truly unable to aid in his own defense
or exaggerating Alzheimers-related
dementia.
To merit a new nding of incompe-
tence, McDougall must prove his
clients mental state has undergone a
substantial change since the last rul-
ing, Wagstaffe said.
Ayres spent time at Napa State
Hospital with prosecution approval
after both his 2009 criminal trial and a
competency trial ended without ver-
dicts. However, doctors concluded he
was malingering and sent him back to
San Mateo County last year for his sec-
ond trial. In May, McDougall made a
last-ditch effort to have his client
declared incompetent but a high court
denied his appeal of an earlier ruling
and hours later Ayres abruptly changed
his plea.
Aug. 7, Judge Beth Freeman delayed
sentencing until Monday to allow a
doctor more time for a mandatory
recidivism report. At the same time,
Freeman took Ayres into custody and
McDougall indicated his desire to
withdraw the earlier plea.
Ayres was originally charged with
molesting six patients between 1988
and 1996 when they were ages 9 to 13,
authorities believe he abused dozens of
other patients whose cases fall outside
the statute of limitations.
Prior to his 2007 arrest, Ayres was
well-known as president of the
American Academy of Child and
Adolescent Psychiatry and as host of
the sex education series Time of Your
Life. He also received San Mateo
County juvenile court referrals. Police
began looking at him in 2002 and, in
2005, Ayres settled the rst of several
lawsuits with former patients.

FALL
By Jocelyn Noveck
NEW YORK We may be seeing
more prominent gay and lesbian char-
acters on TV shows, but the movie
industry lags well behind the small
screen, an advocacy group reports.
In its rst study of LGBT roles in
major studio releases, the Gay &
Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation
found that compared with TV, where
there has been a signicant shift over
the past decade, Major studios appear
reluctant to include LGBT characters
in signicant roles or franchises.
In its report released Wednesday,
GLAAD found that of the 101 releases
from Hollywoods six major studios in
2012, just 14 included characters iden-
tified as lesbian, gay, or bisexual.
Most were no more than cameos or
minor roles, it said and none of the
lms tracked had transgender charac-
ters.
Until LGBT characters appear more
regularly in these studio lms, there
will be the appearance of bias, said
Wilson Cruz, GLAADs national
spokesperson, in an interview. He
added that his organization will be
meeting with studio executives to dis-
cuss the ndings.
There were some bright spots in
2012, and some more ambiguous
ones, the group said. For example,
Skyfall, the hugely successful
installment of the James Bond fran-
chise, featured a main villain, played
by Javier Bardem, who was apparently
bisexual.
It was great to see an LGBT charac-
ter in such a signicant role, said
Matt Kane, associate director of enter-
tainment media at GLAAD, also in an
interview. But unfortunately the char-
acter was also devious, psychotic, and
untrustworthy it fell into that
trap.
As genre films like comic book
adaptations consume much of the stu-
dios capital and promotional efforts,
the report says, such films have a
striking lack of LGBT characters. In
The Avengers, it notes, there is a
gay news anchor, but his appearance
is so brief it was likely missed by
many viewers.
The report called the 2013 Studio
Responsibility Index rates each of
the six studio according to the number
of LGBT-inclusive lms they released.
Faring worst: 20th Century Fox and
Disney, which each receive failing
grades; the other four Paramount,
Sony, Universal and Warner Bros.
receive grades of adequate.
Asked in advance Tuesday afternoon
about the report, the studios had no
immediate comment.
As part of its index, the group devel-
oped criteria to measure the quality of
the LGBT roles. They included:
whether a character was identiably
LGBT; whether it was not solely or
predominantly dened by its sexual
orientation or gender identity; and
whether it was tied into the plot in
such a way that its removal would have
a signicant effect.
One of the best examples of an
LGBT-inclusive lm in 2012, accord-
ing to GLAAD, was, interestingly, an
animated family lm: ParaNorman,
about a misunderstood boy who can
communicate with the ghosts of dead
people.
In the lm, which came from the
Portland-based studio LAIKA,
Normans cheerleader sister asks the
hunky football hero Mitch for a movie
date. He casually makes a reference to
his boyfriend.

behind TV in LGBT roles

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Nazar Kakunda, aka Nazar Elias Ka-
kunda and Nazar E. Kakunda
Case Number: 123587
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Nazar Kakunda, aka
Nazar Elias Kakunda and Nazar E. Ka-
kunda. A Petition for Probate has been
filed by Bishara Kakunda in the Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo.
The Petition for Probate requests that
Bishara Kakunda be appointed as per-
sonal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents 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-
ster 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 4, 2013
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
petition, you should appear at the hear-
ing and state your objections or file writ-
ten objections with the court before the
hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. 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.

BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding
on this property lien, you should under-
stand that there are risks involved in bid-
ding at a trustee auction. You will be bid-
ding on a lien, not on the property itself.
Placing the highest bid at a trustee auc-
tion does not automatically entitle you to
free and clear ownership of the property.
You should also be aware that the lien
being auctioned off may be a junior lien.
If you are the highest bidder at the auc-
tion, you are or may be responsible for
paying off all liens senior to the lien be-
ing auctioned off, before you can receive
clear title to the property. You are en-
couraged to investigate the existence,
priority and size of outstanding liens that
may exist on this property by contacting
the county recorder's office or a title in-
surance 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 mort-
gage 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, beneficiary, trustee, or a
court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the
California Civil Code. The law requires
that information about trustee sale post-
ponements 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 applicable, the re-
scheduled time and date for the sale of
this property, you may call 877-484-

ber assigned to this case 7233.24112.
Information about postponements that
are very short in duration or that occur
close in time to the scheduled sale may
not immediately be reflected in the tele-
phone information or on the Internet Web
site. The best way to verify postpone-
ment information is to attend the sched-
uled sale. Date: August 13, 2013
