SAN FRANCISCO Commuters
slogged through heavy trafc over the
Depression-era San Francisco-Oakland
Bay Bridge for the last time Wednesday
before it is closed in preparation for a
new $6.4 billion span opening early
next week.
Crowded roads and packed buses,
trains and ferries are on tap for Bay
Area commuters throughout the Labor
Day weekend as construction crews
prepare the new crossing for its debut.
The California Highway Patrol will
begin blocking bridge trafc at about
7:30 p.m., rerouting motorists to
other freeways, Officer Daniel Hill
said.
The closure is expected to have
region-wide effects on trafc; the Bay
Bridge is a workhorse crossing, with
about 280,000 vehicles using it each
day. This weekends closure is the
fourth time in seven years that of-
cials have shut the bridge down over
the Labor Day weekend, when trafc is
signicantly lighter.
The new crossing is expected to
open late Monday or early Tuesday, but
the exact timing is still being worked
out, bridge spokesman Andrew Gordon
said.
Its been nearly 24 years since the
6.9-magnitude Loma Prieta earthquake

Parenthood
Council rejects appeal and makes
way for new facility in downtown
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A new Planned Parenthood will open in South San
Francisco after the City Council voted 3-2 to deny an appeal
and move forward with the application and use permit for a
Planned Parenthood in downtown after a heated meeting
Wednesday night.
Alarge crowd attended the meeting to speak against and
for the new clinic at 435 Grand Ave. There were more than
50 speakers cards handed in for public comment. A good
number of attendees stood just outside the meeting, as there
wasnt an empty seat in the room.
Karyl Matsumoto voted to uphold the appeal since she
said her vision for Grand Avenue doesnt include medical
clinics or similar facilities even though she said she sup-
ports Planned Parenthood. Mayor Pedro Gonzalez voted to
uphold the appeal, stating similar views as Matsumoto, in
San Mateo police warn
of new burglary trend
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Following a San Mateo burglary in which the suspect
passed herself off as a city worker, police are cautioning the
public to be aware of this common criminal technique.
The burglary follows a trend regularly seen, mostly
recently in the East Bay, according to San Mateo police.
In this two-person method, one suspects contacts a resi-
dent at the front door or backyard and distracts the occupant
while a second suspect enters the home to take valuables,
according to police.
At about 4:50 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 27, a woman used the
technique in the 400 block of Alameda de las Pulgas. The
woman reportedly knocked on the door and identied herself
as a pest abatement worker for the city of San Mateo. The

Tiny town tries to rid
water supply of worms
OKLAHOMA CITY Beating the
late-summer heat isnt as easy as run-
ning to the sink in one northeast
Oklahoma town, as residents there are
being asked not to drink tap water after
red worms were found in the ltering
system.
The worms ranging from a half-
inch to an inch long showed up ear-
lier this week in the drinking water
supply in Colcord, a small town about
80 miles east of Tulsa.
City councilman Terry Wood said
city water was turned back on
Wednesday morning after workers
cleaned, drained and re-cleaned the
water tower. No worms were found in
the tower, he said.
We are still looking into this prob-
lem. I mean we need to get to the bot-
tom of it and we will continue to
investigate and do pretty much what
we need to do to nd out what hap-
pened here, Wood said.
Residents are being asked not to
consume the water or use it to brush
teeth or prepare food, Wood said, but it
can be used for showers and other
activities.
Erin Hateld, spokeswoman for the
Oklahoma Department of
Environmental Quality, said its
uncommon for red worms to show up
in a water system in the state, though
its fairly common in the southeastern
United States.
Shes not sure why or how the
worms wriggle into water systems.
There are no adverse health effects
with the red worms, she said, and the
DEQ provided Colcord ofcials with
recommendations for their water sys-
tem to prevent future red worm infesta-
tions.
Several businesses and organiza-
tions, like Walmart and the Cherokee
Nation, have donated bottled water for
residents in the 815-person town to
use, Wood said.
Weve had situations before where
weve been out of water, he said.
Weve just had to use bottle water for
consumption, so I dont guess its
been comfortable for some people but
the last few hours havent been that
bad.
Colcord Public Schools canceled
classes Wednesday, but Superintendent
J.D. Parkerson said teachers and stu-
dents are eager to return to classes
Thursday, though no ofcial decision
has been made.
Health ofcials have provided guide-
lines to school administrators to make
sure the schools are safe for the
approximately 650 students.
Ohio couple married
65 years die 11 hours apart
DAYTON, Ohio Relatives of an
Ohio couple who died at a nursing
home 11 hours apart on the same day
said their love storys ending reects
their devotion over 65 years of mar-
riage.
Harold and Ruth Knapke died in their
shared room on Aug. 11, days before
their 66th anniversary, The Dayton
Daily News reported. He was 91, she
was 89.
The couples daughters said they
believe their father willed himself to
stay by his wifes side despite failing
health until they could take the next
step in their journey together. He went
rst his children saw it as his nal
act of love and she followed.
We believe he wanted to accompa-
ny her out of this life and into the next
one, and he did, daughter Margaret
Knapke said.
The couple had known each other as
children and began their courtship as
pen pals while Harold, known as
Doc, served in the Army during
World War II. Ruth would later joke: I
let him chase me until I caught him!
Her husband became a teacher, coach
and athletic director at Fort Recovery
Schools, the newspaper said. They
raised six children while looking after
each other with a devotion that didnt
seem to diminish.
A photo taken this summer shows
him lying in a bed, arm stretched
through a guardrail to hold her hand, as
she leans in to press the top of her
head to his. When she was ailing, he
blessed her each night with holy
water, daughter Pat Simon said.

Changes are coming to the three-decade-
old Rendez Vous Cafe in San Mateo.
The coffee joint, which is located on the
corner of El Camino Real and Crystal
Springs Road, shifted ownership to busi-
ness partners DeJuan Johnson and
Stephanie Cheng on Aug. 7.
We have a new vibe, Johnson said.
Everything is locally grown and theres
more of a jazzy, blues feel. We felt like there
was potential in this location.
The purchase of the space was actually
inspired by a trip to Europe last April for
Chengs birthday.
We wanted to go with a French feel,
Johnson said. It helped us select this
space.
On Aug. 8, 9 and 10, the new owners
replaced the hardwood oor with tile oors
and added in new couches. They removed
booths to make way for more space, along
with a new refrigerator and a remodel of the
rest rooms. They are keeping the same cof-
fee blends.
This is Johnsons rst brick-and-mortar
business. He has always wanted to open his
own business and has bigger plans for a ve
star restaurant down the line. He is from
Union City and is also working full time as
a oor manager at Artichoke Joes in San
Bruno.
How is Johnson balancing all of his com-
mitments?
Its about staying committed to a sched-
ule, Johnson said. And going from task to
task.
Business has been picking up at the coffee
shop, Johnson said.
Slowly people are starting to come
back, Johnson said. We want to entice
people with conversation. This is a high-
tech area, but we also want to bring the abil-
ity to communicate back to the San Mateo
area.
To draw in more customers and clear out
inventory, Johnson said items in the cafes
side boutique are 50 percent off for this
month and September. Items include gifts,
accessories, art, coffee beans and tea sets.
He wants to turn the boutique into a wine bar
and conference room for meetings once the
stores alcohol license is approved by the
Department of Alcohol and Beverage
Control. He and Cheng hope to open that
space as soon as possible, he said.
There are plans to have live jazz once a
month at the front of the store.
We want it to be quiet enough to still
have conversation, Johnson said.
Employees have been retained from the
prior ownership. Rendez Vous is currently
looking to hire another barista.
New hours of operation for the coffee
shop are Monday to Friday 6 a.m. to 4:30
p.m., as well as Saturday and Sunday 7 a.m.
to 4:30 p.m. The old business hours were
6:30 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Apodiatrist serving life in prison for
having his business partner assassinat-
ed to collect $60,000 in life insurance
was denied release for three years after
refusing to speak with the parole board
about the 1976 murder.
William Moalem, 73, also refused to
be interviewed by the prison psycholo-
gist preparing a pre-hearing report for
the Board of Parole Hearings. The board
spoke with Moalem, who did answer
questions other than direct queries about
the crime, on Tuesday at the California
Mens Colony State Prison at San Luis
Obispo. The board found him unsuitable
for another three years. The hearing was
Moalems fourth since being impris-
oned for the Oct. 13, 1976 murder.
Moalems podiatrist business partner,
Benjamin Hurwitz, was fatally shot
while driving on State Route 92 in
Foster City. The case grew cold for 23
years until 1998 when Moalems former
wife revealed he had hired bar bouncer
Richard Quilopras to kill Hurwitz.
Moalem, who had nancial problems,
was the beneciary of Hurwitzs
$60,000 life insurance policy and in the
process of buying his podiatry business.
Other men involved in the case also
admitted having introduced Moalem to
Quilopras and driven the hit man the
night of the shooting.
Moalem was convicted of rst-degree
murder in 1999 but there was no special
circumstance law in 1976 so he was not
barred from parole eligibility. However,
at sentencing, Judge Dale Hahn said
Moalem should never be released from
prison.
Quilopras, who was paid $6,000 to
kill Hurwitz, also received a life sen-
tence in the murder. Moalems wife testi-
ed against him and was given time
served and probation for her accessory
role helping to cover up the murder.
Moalem was last up for parole consid-
eration in 2012 but put off the hearing
until after he contested prison rules vio-
lations for allegedly possessing two R-
rated movies and information on a
thumb drive. The items are forbidden in
prison.

A San Mateo man died in a paddle-
boarding accident on the Nevada side of
Lake Tahoe last week, a Nevada
Department of Wildlife spokesman said
Wednesday.
Kenneth Campo, 42, was part of a
group that had rented paddleboards and
went out on the water Friday around
3:45 p.m. at Sand Harbor State Park
near Incline Village, Nev., department
spokesman Ed Lyngar said.
He was about 250 yards offshore
when he slipped off the board and began
to struggle in the water, Lyngar said.
He was already submerged by the time
the people around him got to where he had
been, Lyngar said.An employee of one of
the paddleboard rental companies based
onshore dived down 20 feet and retrieved
Campo and brought him to shore.
Paramedics were waiting there and
brought him to a hospital where he was
pronounced dead, Lyngar said.
He had a life vest and a foot leash on
the boat that were both not in use dur-
ing the accident, Lyngar said.
Life jacket use on these devices is far
too low, Lyngar said. Often tourists
and recreational boaters dont realize
the inherent dangers.
An investigation is ongoing, but
Lyngar said it appears that this was a
tragic accident.

The former PTA president of a Daly
City elementary school is facing up to
six months county jail for embezzling
$14,000 of the organizations money
include funds raised through book and
ice cream sales, according to prosecu-
tors.
Mathew Glenn Hidalgo, 28, pleaded
no contest in June to one felony count
of embezzlement in return for no
prison time and the dismissal of
another charge. He delayed a scheduled
sentencing hearing
until Oct. 3 to allow
the judge who
accepted his plea
deal to be the one to
impose sentence.
Meanwhile, he
remains free from
custody on his own
recognizance.
Hidalgo, of
Belmont, was presi-
dent of the PTA at Margaret Pauline
Brown Elementary School in Daly
City. Prosecutors say, between
September and November 2012,
Hidalgo cashed checks for his own use
from the PTAaccount and also did not
deposit money raised by ice cream and
book sales for the school.
Hidalgo told others he gave $7,000
of the money to the school principal
to buy computers but, when confronted
by the administrator, said he borrowed
the funds to pay $5,000 in back taxes
to the IRS and prevent the reposses-

GROVELAND Firefighters battling
the giant wildfire burning in the Sierra
Nevada added a California National Guard
Predator drone to their arsenal Wednesday
to give them almost immediate views of
any portion of the flames chewing
through rugged forests in and around
Yosemite National Park.
The MQ-1 unmanned aircraft being
remotely piloted hundreds of miles away
quickly alerted fire bosses to a new flare-
up they otherwise wouldnt have immedi-
ately seen.
Theyre piping what theyre seeing
directly to the incident commander, and
hes seeing it in real time over a computer
network, said National Guard Lt. Col.
Tom Keegan.
Previously, ground commanders relied
on helicopters that needed to refuel every
two hours.
The 12-day-old Rim Fire continued to
grow, expanding to 301 square miles. But
crews building lines around the flames
made significant progress, and contain-
ment jumped to 30 percent. Cooler tem-
peratures and lighter winds are aiding fire-
fighters.
Increasingly confident fire officials said
they expect to fully surround the blaze in
three weeks, although it will burn for
much longer than that.
We continue to get line around this
fire, California fire spokesman Daniel
Berlant said Wednesday. Its not nearly as
active as it was last week.
While unmanned aircraft have mapped
past fires, use of the Predator will be the
longest sustained mission by a drone in
California to broadcast information to
firefighters in real time.
The plane, the size of a small Cessna,
will remain over the burn zone for up to 22
hours at a time, allowing fire commanders
to monitor fire activity, determine the
fires direction of movement, the extent of
containment and confirm new fires ignited
by lightning or flying embers.
The drone is being flown by the 163rd
Wing of the California National Guard at
March Air Reserve Base in Riverside and
is operating from Victorville Airport,
both in Southern California. It generally
flew over unpopulated areas on its 300-
mile flight to the Rim Fire. Outside the
fire area, it will be escorted by a manned
aircraft.
Officials were careful to point out the
images are being used only to aid in the
effort to contain the fire.
In 2009 a NASA Predator equipped with
an infrared imaging sensor helped the U.S.
Forest Service assess damage from a fire in
Angeles National Forest. In 2008, a drone
capable of detecting hot spots helped fire-
fighters assess movement of a series of
wildfires stretching from Southern
Californias Lake Arrowhead to San Diego.
The Rim Fire started Aug. 17 and quickly
exploded in size, becoming one of the 10
largest California wildfires on record. Its
progression slowed earlier this week when
it moved from parts of the forest with
thick underbrush that had not burned in
nearly a century to areas that had seen fire
in the past two decades.
But it will burn for months, possibly
until Californias dry season ends this
fall.
My prediction is it will burn until we
see rain, said Hugh Safford, a regional
ecologist with the U.S. Forest Service.
That means the smoke could continue to
foul air north of Yosemite in the Lake
Tahoe basin and neighboring Nevada,
although residents received something of
a reprieve Wednesday when for the first
time in three days blue sky was sometimes
visible through the haze.
The air quality index in the Reno area
still had improved only to the unhealthy
level, and in Douglas County, Nev. ,

WASHINGTON Standing on
hallowed ground of the civil rights
movement, President Barack
Obama challenged new genera-
tions Wednesday to seize the cause
of racial equality and honor the
glorious patriots who marched a
half century ago to the very steps
from which Rev. Martin Luther
King spoke during the March on
Washington.
In a moment rich with history
and symbolism, tens of thousands
of Americans of all backgrounds
and colors thronged to the
National Mall to join the nations
first black president and civil
rights pioneers in marking the
50th anniversary of Kings I
Have a Dream speech. Obama
urged each of them to become a
modern-day marcher for economic
justice and racial harmony.
The arc of the moral universe
may bend toward justice but it
doesnt bend on its own, Obama
said, in an allusion to Kings own
message.
His speech was the culmination
of daylong celebration of Kings
legacy that began with marchers
walking the streets of Washington
behind a replica of the transit bus
that Rosa Parks once rode when
she refused to give up her seat to a
white man.
At precisely 3 p.m., members of
the King family tolled a bell to
echo Kings call 50 years earlier to
let freedom ring. It was the same
bell that once hung in the 16th
Street Baptist Church in
Birmingham, Ala., where four
black girls were killed when a
bomb planted by a white suprema-
cist exploded in 1963.
Georgia Rep. John Lewis, a for-
mer freedom rider and the sole sur-
vivor of the main organizers of the
1963 march, recounted the civil
rights struggles of his youth and
exhorted American to keep the
faith and keep our eyes on the
prize.
The throngs assembled in soggy
weather at the Lincoln Memorial,
where King, with soaring, rhyth-
mic oratory and a steely counte-
nance, had pleaded with Americans
to come together to stomp out
racism and create a land of oppor-
tunity for all.
MLKs dream inspires a
new march, and a president

SACRAMENTO In a direct
slap to Gov. Jerry Brown, his fel-
low Democrats in the state Senate
on Wednesday rejected his plan for
dealing with Californias prison
crisis, throwing the states
response to a federal court order
into chaos.
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell
Steinberg said Browns proposal to
move inmates to private prisons
and vacant county jail cells was
essentially dead on arrival and that
his chamber would not pass it.
We oppose the governors
plan, Steinberg told a Capitol
news conference. We think it is, as
the governor himself said ... Its
throwing money down a rat hole.
Brown quickly dismissed
Steinbergs alternative seeking
an extension from the court
leaving the state with no clear path
just weeks before the Legislature is
scheduled to adjourn for the year.
On Tuesday,
Brown present-
ed his plan for
addressing a
federal court
order that says
the state must
lower its prison
population by
an additional
9,600 inmates
by the end of the year. Judges have
determined that a lower prison
population is the best way to
improve inmate medical and men-
tal health care, which is at the
heart of a long-running legal bat-
tle.
The governor wants to move
inmates to other facilities at an
estimated cost of $730 million
over two years. The money would
likely come from the states $1.1
billion reserve fund. His proposal
has the support of statewide law
enforcement and crime victims
groups, but the spending requires
legislative approval.

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama on Wednesday
declared unequivocally that the
United States has concluded that
the Syrian government carried out
a deadly chemical weapons attack
on civilians. But new hurdles
emerged that appeared to slow the
formation of an international
coalition that could use military
force to punish Syria.
Obama did not present any
direct evidence to back up his
assertion that the Syrian govern-
ment bears responsibility for the
attack. At the same time, U.S.
ofcials were searching for addi-
tional intelligence to bolster the
case for a strike against Assads
military infrastructure. Questions
remained about whether the attack
could be linked to Assad or high
ofcials and whether a rogue ele-
ment of the Syrian military could
have used the weapons on its own
authority.
While Obama said he is still
evaluating possible military
retaliation, he vowed that any
American response would send a
strong signal to Syrian
President Bashar Assad.
We have concluded that the
Syrian government in fact carried
these out, Obama said during an
interview with NewsHour on
PBS. And if thats so, then there
need to be international conse-
quences.
Earlier Wednesday, the ve per-
manent members of the U.N.
Security Council failed to reach an
agreement on a draft resolution
from the British seeking authori-
zation for the use of force. Russia,
as expected, objected to interna-
tional intervention.
Obama administration ofcials
said they would take action
against the Syrian government
even without the backing of allies
or the United Nations because
diplomatic paralysis must not
prevent a response to the alleged
chemical weapons attack outside
the Syrian capital last week.
Obama: Syria carried out chemical attack
WHODECIDES
The order for the strike would come from Obama,
delivered to Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Defense Secretary
Chuck Hagel. The operation probably would fall
under the purview of U.S. Central Command,
headed by Army Gen. Lloyd Austin. The more
immediate commander probably would be Adm.
Bruce Clingan, who heads U.S. naval forces in
Europe. A coalition likely joined by allies such as
Britain and France would likely set up a joint task
force to coordinate targeting and missions.
WHOLAUNCHESWHAT
Four U.S.Navy destroyers the USS Gravely,USS
Mahan, USS Barry and USS Ramage are in the
eastern Mediterranean Sea waiting for the order
to launch.
They are armed with dozens of Tomahawk cruise
missiles, which have a range of about 1,000
nautical miles, and are used for deep, precise
targeting. Each one is about 20 feet long and less
than two feet in diameter, and carries a 1,000
pound warhead.
The missiles y at low altitudes and their range
allows theships tosit far off thecoast,out of range
of any potential response by the Syrian
government. Some ships have cameras that can
provide battle damage assessments.
The Navy also now has two aircraft carriers in the
region, loaded with ghter jets. The USS Truman
arrived in the Arabian Sea to take the place of the
USS Nimitz, which was supposed to head home.
But the Navy ordered the Nimitz, which is in the
Indian Ocean, to stay for now.
U.S. ofcials described the decision as prudent
planning, and said it doesnt suggest the carrier
would play a role in any possible strikes in Syria.
Britains Royal Navy has deployed at least one
Trafalgar-class attack submarine to the
Mediterranean, though it declines to specify
where.Each of the subs typically carries around a
dozen Tomahawk missiles. That supply, if
exhausted, could be quickly restocked by a Royal
Navy nine-ship task force that deployed this
month to the eastern Mediterranean.
The British Royal Air Force base Akrotiri,175 miles
west of the Syrian coast, could be used by cruise
missile-capable U.S., British and French aircraft.
WHATABOUTTROOPS,
FIGHTERJETSANDBOMBERS?
Obama has ruled out putting troops on the
ground in Syria,and because of Assads extensive
air defense systems, ofcials believe it is too risky
at least initially to deploy ghter aircraft or even
low-ying drones that could be shot down.
While less likely, the U.S. could deploy ghter jets
or bombers as the operation continues,
particularly if the Assad regime begins to take
retaliatoryactionsandmannedaircraft areneeded
in order to strike specic, critical targets.
Obama has rejected trying to impose a no-y
zone over the country. Military leaders have said
that creating one would be risky and expensive.
WHATMIGHTTHEYTARGET?
U.S. ofcials say any operation must have clear
goalsthat canguidedecisionsonwhat themilitary
must strike.
Dempsey has told Congress that lethal force
would be used to strike targets that enable the
regime to conduct military operations,proliferate
advanced weapons and defend itself.
At a minimum, Western forces are expected to
strike targets that symbolize Assads military and
political might: military and national police
headquarters,including the Defense Ministry; the
Syrianmilitarysgeneral staff;andthefour-brigade
Republican Guard that is in charge of protecting
Damascus, Assads seat of power. Assads ruling
Baath Party headquarters could be targeted, too.
U.S.ofcialsalsoareconsideringattackingmilitary
command centers and vital forces,
communications hubs and weapons caches,
including ballistic missile batteries.
Air defense systems, including Syrian aircraft,
interception missiles,radar and other equipment,
also could be targets. The majority of those
systems as many as 500 defense positions and
400 operational aircraft have been positioned
along Lebanons border, in the Syrian-controlled
part of the Golan Heights, along the Syrian
Mediterranean coast and in and around
Damascus.
Helicopter and xed wing aircraft air bases across
the country, including the Mezzeh air base in
Damascus,and Nairab,a major military air base in
Aleppo, could be targets.
Because any strike would be considered payback
for Assads alleged use of chemical weapons,
Western forces could zero in on the headquarters
of the Syrian Armys 4th Division, 155th Brigade.
That unit is believedtoberesponsiblefor theAug.
21 attack that U.S. ofcials say involved chemical
weapons.The brigade is headed by Maher Assad,
Bashar Assads younger brother.
The brigade has a missile base across a large
terrain in a mountain range west of Damascus,
including underground bunkers and tunnels.It is
believed to be surrounded by army bases as well
as weapons and ammunition storage sites.
Systems for moving Assads chemical weapons
stockpile could be top targets as well. But the
stockpile itself probably would not be hit because
of risk of accidental release of the deadly nerve
agents that include mustard gas,tabun,sarin and
VX.
WHATPROBABLYWOULDBEAVOIDED?
Its doubtful the U.S. would directly target Assad.
U.S.policy prohibits assassinating foreign leaders
unless they have attacked America rst.
Its also unclear if Assads military intelligence
headquarters, a symbolic target, might be
attacked; its believed to hold hundreds of
prisoners.
WHENMIGHTASTRIKECOME
ANDHOWLONGMIGHTANATTACKLAST?
The most common answer to this question in
recent days has been soon. But a number of
factors that could affect the timing.
The British Parliament was expected to convene
Thursday to discuss the matter and possibly vote
on whether Britain would participate.Theres has
been a so-far unsuccessful effort to seek U.N.
Security Council approval for a strike, but theres
also signicant pressure on the administration to
act quickly and decisively.
Anymilitaryoperationprobablyunfoldat night or
in the predawn hours, with an initial assault
possiblylastingseveral hoursandinvolvingmissile
strikes from several warships.What could follow is
a period in which the U.S.might use satellites and
other intelligence capabilities to assess the
damage.
Under that scenario,such an assessment could be
followed by an additional round or two of missile
strikes.Most ofcials believe any operation would
last no more than a few days.
Other U.S. military assets in the region, including
an Air Force air wing of F-16 ghter jets located
in Aviano, Italy, are available, but might not be
used, at least right away.
The British eet in the eastern Mediterranean is
led by the HMS Bulwark, an assault vessel
designed to deliver around 400 Royal Marine
Commandos by landing craft or helicopters, all
stored on board. Specialist communications and
engineering units of the Marine Commando also
are aboard.
The eets other principal ship is HMS Illustrious,
a helicopter transport that carries anti-sub and
attack helicopters. There also are two frigates
carrying anti-ship, anti-air and anti-sub weapons
systems, and ve supply ships.
The French defense ministry says it has a dozen
cruise missile-capable ghter aircraft at military
bases intheUnitedArabEmirates andtheHornof
Africa nation of Djibouti.
Any air contribution to a potential attack on Syria,
however, probably would come directly from
France and mean pit stops at British RAF base
Akrotiri, or rely on airborne tankers.

DAMASCUS, Syria Fears of a
possible U.S. strike against
Syrias regime over an alleged
chemical weapons attack rippled
across the region Wednesday, as
about 6,000 Syrians ed to neigh-
boring Lebanon in a 24-hour peri-
od and Israelis scrambled for gas
masks in case Damascus retaliates
against them.
U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon pleaded
for more time for diplomacy and to
allow U.N. investigators to com-
plete their work. The experts,
wearing ak jackets and helmets,
collected blood and urine samples
from victims during a visit to at
least one of the areas hit in last
weeks attack.
Seven days after chemical
weapons were purportedly
unleashed on rebel-held suburbs of
the Syrian capital, momentum
grew toward Western military
action against President Bashar
Assads regime. At the same time,
Syrias chief allies, Russia and
Iran, warned of dire consequences
for the region if any armed inter-
vention is undertaken.
U.S. leaders, including Vice
President Joe Biden, have charged
that Assads government was
behind the Aug. 21 attack that
Doctors Without Borders says
killed at least 355 people. The
White House says its planning a
possible military response while
seeking support from internation-
al partners.

BAGHDAD Car bomb blasts and
other explosions tore through mainly
Shiite districts around Baghdad during
morning rush hour Wednesday in a day
of violence that killed at least 80,
intensifying worries about Iraqs abili-
ty to tame the spiraling mayhem grip-
ping the country.
It was the latest set of large-scale
sectarian attacks to hit Iraq, even as
the government went on high alert
in case a possible Western strike in
neighboring Syria increases Iraqs tur-
moil.
Arelentless wave of killing has left
thousands dead since April in the coun-
trys worst spate of bloodshed since
2008. The surge in violence raises
fears that Iraq is hurtling back toward
the widespread sectarian killing that
peaked in 2006 and 2007, when the
country was teetering on the edge of
civil war.
Most of Wednesdays attacks hap-
pened in within minutes of each other
as people headed to work or were out
shopping early in the day. Insurgents
unleashed explosives-laden cars, sui-
cide bombers and other bombs that tar-
geted parking lots, outdoor markets
and restaurants in predominantly
Shiite areas in and around Baghdad,
ofcials said. A military convoy was
hit south of the capital.
Security forces sealed off the blast
scenes as ambulances raced to pick up
the wounded. The twisted wreckage of
cars littered the pavement while clean-
ers and shop owners brushed away
debris. At one restaurant, the oor was
stained with blood and dishes were
scattered on plastic tables.

CAIRO Egyptian authorities
detained more than 60 people associated
with the Muslim Brotherhood in less
than 24 hours, including relatives of the
groups leaders, officials said
Wednesday.
The crackdown on the group, from
which ousted President Mohammed
Morsi hails, started shortly after the
July 3 coup. It intensied this month
after security forces cleared out two of
the groups sit-ins, killing hundreds and
sparking unrest that killed more than
1,000 people in a few days. The Interior
Ministry says more than 100 policemen
and soldiers have also been killed since
mid-August.
The local media, in close step with the
new leadership after Morsi, repeatedly
describe the actions of the Brotherhood
and its supporters as acts of terrorism.
Many have been charged with inciting
violence. Security forces have arrested
much the Brotherhoods senior and
midlevel leadership, while others
remain in hiding.
Some in Egypt fear the Brotherhoods
once powerful political party and its
allies could be barred from politics and
be forced underground again.
In an interview late Tuesday with the
Arabic satellite channel MBC Misr,
interim Prime Minister Hazem el-
Beblawi said dissolving the group is
not a solution and warned against tak-
ing dramatic decisions during turbulent
times.

San Carlos Transit Village project
Editor,
We moved back to San Carlos in
2000. Shortly thereafter I became
aware of the proposed development
which would mean jobs, ofce space,
homes and apartments, an updated
transit center and beautication on
the El Camino Corridor. Add the addi-
tional tax dollars which the project
would throw off and this seemed like a
winning proposition. The developers
have spent countless hours at San
Carlos events showcasing the project
and answering questions.
It seems by your article that for
whatever reason the City Council
continues to be at odds with the
developer and the project (Michelle
Durands article Developer of Transit
Village wants fewer below-market
units in the Aug. 28 edition of the
Daily Journal). Councilman Ron
Collins states, Were not going to
be caved to being lowballed, and
City Manager Jeff Maltbies asser-
tion, We have a long way to go.
What does that mean, another 12
years? Maltbie admits smaller devel-
opments have been granted waivers
to the ordinance. Why are we using
the Indiana Jones management style
of making it up as we go along? It
all seems so arbitrary and inamma-
tory. No wonder Legacy is going to
court.
Meanwhile, Redwood City is eating
our lunch. Ofces, downtown beauti-
cation, transit housing, city police
and re, neighborhood libraries, tree-
lined streets and vibrant businesses
are coming in.
One more thing: the council to
appease height and shadows
Legacy scaled down the project. What
about all these two story mini-man-
sion remodels that have caused shad-
ows? Is anybody complaining about
that?
Lets get this project started.

What about us?
Editor,
Sources say that Secretary of State
John Kerry claimed there was unde-
niable evidence of a chemical attack
in Syria, and senior U.S. ofcial
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said
Washington was ready to attack the
country if President Obama issues an
order.
What if it is the al-Qaida terrorists
that are using the chemical weapons,
the same al-Qaida that the United
States is ghting in Afghanistan,
Yemen, Pakistan and Iraq, but are sup-
porting in Syria?
What about us, the United States of
America? We used chemical weapons
in Vietnam in the form of Agent
Orange and to this day people are still
suffering the consequences of it. What
about Iraq, where President George W.
Bush lied us into an illegal war and
occupation, claiming Saddam Hussein
had weapons of mass destruction only
for us to shower that country with
depleted uranium, which will last for
100,000 years and will cause nothing
but cancer and birth defects to the
Iraqi population yet there were no
weapons of mass destruction?
We have wreaked havoc upon the
world with our military endeavors as
other countries make peace.
When will our governmental lead-
ers learn that the way to win hearts
and minds is through compassion,
peace, goodwill and not through mili-
tary devastation?

A
merican citizens routinely
try to avoid jury duty, a basic
responsibility of citizen-
ship. Many citizens also decline to
vote, a basic right of citizenship.
But now comes along a bill,
Assembly Bill 1401, that calls into
question the very meaning of citizen-
ship. Should foreigners on the path to
citizenship, who have the status of
lawful permanent residents and hold
green cards, be allowed to serve on
California juries?
The Legislature, on a 25-11 vote in
the Senate and a 48-28 vote in the
Assembly, said these noncitizens
should enjoy this right of citizen-
ship.
Gov. Jerry Brown should veto the
bill. Like voting or holding public
ofce, jury duty is one of the ways
that citizens share in the governance
of our democratic republic
Lawful permanent residents are
potential future citizens, who qualify
for citizenship within ve years.
They should be encouraged to make
the transition to citizenship not
provided incentives to avoid taking
that nal step. Why should green card
holders become citizens if they can
enjoy the rights of citizenship?
Nothing in the California or U.S.
constitutions prohibits noncitizen
service on juries. Proponents are cor-
rect that in the early days of the
republic, courts in many states had
the discretion to create half-citizen,
half-noncitizen juries for cases that
involved foreigners for example, a
criminal trial involving foreign
sailors in the murder of a sea captain
or a civil case involving foreign
traders.
That argument is a dodge, however.
AB1401 is not calling for the restora-
tion of that medieval-origin medietate
linguae (half tongue) practice. It
had disappeared worldwide by the late
19th century.
The main argument for AB1401 is
that individuals should have access to
a trial by a jury of their peers. Just
think about that. If an American citi-
zen commits a crime or sues in com-
mercial courts in Great Britain (or any
other country with a jury system),
should he expect a jury of British citi-
zens or of Americans? Foreigners
among us deserve fair treatment in the
courts, but they should not share in
the governance structures that go to
the heart of our representative gov-
ernment until they become citizens.
This is not, as Assembly Speaker
John A. Pirez claims, like the exclu-
sion of women or blacks from jury
duty and voting. They fought long
battles to win the rights and responsi-
bilities of equal citizenship.
California has 3.4 million green
card holders, and 2.5 million of them
are eligible for citizenship. They
should be encouraged to go through
that process.
AB1401 does not deal with a more
vexing issue, which is that we have
millions of potential Americans
among us who are denied a path to cit-
izenship. We have so many barriers to
legal immigration that many people
are in the United States illegally. That
is a matter for Congress to x and
that is where our Legislature and Gov.
Brown should focus.
Brown signed a bill Tuesday that
allows noncitizens to serve as poll
workers. He should not go further and
agree to let green-card holders serve
on juries.
Brown, dont sign bill to allow noncitizen jurors
I just need my space
J
ustice may be blind at the county courthouse,
but finding parking? Now thats a feat that
requires both eyes open.
Call me a conspiracy theorist but since about the
time the countys court functions consolidated, prima-
rily into Redwood City a
few months back, the
likelihood of finding
parking in its garage
after 9 a.m. is about as
strong as most shady
alibis. Even with 800-
odd slots in the five-
story garage, the extra
workers heading to the
countys government
seat the courthouse
shares a building with
several county functions
and is surrounded by
other county office
buildings apparently
has put parking availability at a premium between 8
a.m. and 5 p.m.
Certainly parking isnt the worst problem in the
world. Starving children, global unrest, the Obamas
not choosing a shelter dog for their second pet I
get it. But as somebody who will admittedly park
blocks away from a destination to avoid parallel park-
ing or a meter, the new crimp in my mornings brings a
little crankiness.
And for all of those whove turned a blind eye to the
seemingly never-ending court budget cuts that forced
the consolidation, pay attention. Maybe you dont
care about speedy justice; maybe truncated clerk hours
and the location of family law doesnt personally mat-
ter. But, someday youll need to visit 400 or 455
Government Center and assumedly having a place to
park would be a benefit. If workers fill up the nearby
public spots, youd better be lacing up some walking
shoes.
Perhaps I was spoiled by those years of layoffs and
furloughs that kept the garage population lean, when a
girl could breeze into the garage at just about any time
to find room in the upper employee levels and not just
on the penthouse floor. Back in those days one didnt
need to be exactly on time for a Board of Supervisors
meeting or court hearing unless the matter at hand was
expected to start promptly. But now? Now punctuality
is dictated not by the agenda but the desire to avoid a
parking hassle.
Apparently, Im not alone. Workers accosted by
yours truly shared stories of circling repeatedly, creep-
ing up on cars that might possibly be pulling out from
a spot or throwing the stink eye at drivers who edge
beyond them into the last available space. One said
dropping his daughter off at the county preschool by
the jury parking area offers a birds-eye view of end-
less circling before motorists risk tickets by clogging
up the 20-minute metered spots right in front. At least
traffic court is right across the street.
One proffered suggestion? Sleep in my car to save
my space. Lets hope if it comes to that Redwood City
doesnt outlaw the practice. Another idea? Finding a
local Redwood City business willing to set aside a
space.
But businesses queried around the government center
say they dont see much of a difference, maybe because
most are located a bit away from the government seat.
Plus, us motorists hell-bent on a garage spot would
rather circle like buzzards before exiting and trying
our luck on metered street spaces or business lots.
Redwood City officials say there is some impact to
key streets like Winslow but that the sheriffs vans
have always taken up a lot of space there. Considering
the citys own parking challenges due to a construc-
tion glut, its surprising it isnt feeling a ripple
effect.
Court officials and even county management folks
also report a lack of audible complaint although some
of those admitted they might not personally see the
problem because they have assigned spaces. Note to
self: need to get one of those gigs.
The prevailing battle cry during these times of
statewide court budget cuts is that justice delayed is
justice denied. I selfishly think the same could be said
for parking.

Big movers
By Ken Sweet
NEW YORK Wall Streets big
investors are in wait-and-see mode.
Theres been plenty to give them
pause this week: The stock market is
down and oil is surging as the Syrian
civil war escalates. Then theres the
lingering worry that the Federal
Reserve will end its stimulus too soon.
The next few weeks promise more
big headlines. The government releas-
es its August jobs report and
Washington ramps up for a debate on
the debt ceiling. Syria is just the latest
ingredient in an already volatile mix.
There have been problems develop-
ing in the market for a while now,
said Tobias Levkovich, Citigroups
chief U.S. equity strategist.
The Dow Jones industrial average
edged up 48.38 points, or 0.3 percent,
to close at 14,824.51 on Wednesday.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
gained 4.48 points, or 0.3 percent, to
1,634.96. The Nasdaq composite rose
14.83 points, or 0.4 percent, to
3,593.35.
While the selling in stocks appears
to have abated for the moment, the
trend for the market has been down.
The S&P 500 has lost 4.4 percent
since reaching an all-time high on
Aug. 2, while the Dow is down 5.3 per-
cent.
With all that uncertainty, there are
signs that Wall Streets more active
players hedge funds, pension funds
and mutual funds are heading to the
sidelines.
Last week, investors pulled $10.3
billion out of the S&P 500 SPDR, an
exchange-traded fund that is one of the
most widely held investments on Wall
Street, according to fund tracker
Lipper. In the same week, institutional
and retail investors socked away a
combined $10.7 billion in money
market funds, the traditional store-
house for cash when investors arent
willing to risk it elsewhere.
Nearly 6 percent of large institution-
al investors portfolios are sitting in
cash, the highest since 2009, accord-
ing to research from Citigroup.
Gold has also seen a rebound in
interest. Last week, the most widely
held gold exchange-traded fund, the
SPDR Gold Trust, saw investor inows
for the rst time since February.
The mentality among large
investors is that there is a high poten-
tial to get caught, on the wrong side
of the market, said Chris Hyzy, chief
investment ofcer at U.S. Trust.
Growing geopolitical risk like in
Syria is almost always damaging to
investor condence. Investors worry
that a U.S.-led attack against Syria
could draw the country into Syrias
civil war, or worse, fan a larger conict
in the region.
The next big piece of data investors
will have to work through comes next
week, when Wall Street gets the August
jobs report. However, the report is
likely to be overshadowed by contin-
ued speculation about the future of the
Feds bond-buying program.
The market is acting a lot like a
patient sitting in a waiting room read-
ing a magazine, Hyzy said. We dont
know how good or bad it is, all we
know is that the prognosis will come
over the next couple days and weeks.
The Fed has been buying $85 billion
in bonds a month since December in a
move to keep interest rates low and the
economy growing. It is widely expect-
ed that the Fed will announce a reduc-
tion in bond-buying at its next policy
meeting, scheduled for Sept. 17-18.
But Syria and the risk of Middle
East conict has raised a new con-
cern for the economy: higher oil
prices. Crude oil is up nearly 5 percent
this month, most of it coming in the
last few days.
Big investors pause amid tough August

NEW YORK Fast-food customers
in search of burgers and fries on
Thursday might run into striking
workers instead.
Organizers say thousands of fast-
food workers are set to stage walkouts
in dozens of cities around the country,
part of a push to get chains such as
McDonalds, Taco Bell and Wendys to
pay workers higher wages.
Its expected be the largest nation-
wide strike by fast-food workers,
according to organizers. The biggest
effort so far was over the summer when
about 2,200 of the nations millions
of fast-food workers staged a one-day
strike in seven cities.
Thursdays planned walkouts follow
a series of strikes that began last
November in New York City, then
spread to cities including Chicago,
Detroit and Seattle. Workers say they
want $15 an hour, which would be
about $31,000 a year for full-time
employees. Thats more than double
the federal minimum wage, which
many fast-food workers make, of
$7.25 an hour, or $15,000 a year.
The move comes amid calls from the
White House, some members of
Congress and economists to hike the
federal minimum wage, which was last
raised in 2009. But most proposals
seek a far more modest increase than
the ones workers are asking for, with
President Barack Obama wanting to
boost it to $9 an hour.
The push has brought considerable
media attention to a staple of the fast-
food industry the so-called
McJobs that are known for their low
pay and limited prospects. But the
workers taking part in the strikes still
represent a tiny fraction of the broader
industry. And its not clear if the
strikes on Thursday will shut down any
restaurants because organizers made
their plans public earlier in a call for
workers around the country to partici-
pate, which gave managers time to
adjust their staffing levels. More
broadly, its not clear how many cus-
tomers are aware of the movement,
with turnout for past strikes relatively
low in some cities.
Laila Jennings, a 29-year-old sales
associate at T.J. Maxx, was eating at a
McDonalds in New York City this
week and said she hadnt heard of the
movement. Still, she said she thinks
workers should be paid more. They
work on their feet all day, Jennings
said, adding that $12 to $15 an hour
seemed fair.
Fast-food strikes set for cities nationwide
By Christopher S. Rugaber
WASHINGTON Fewer Americans
signed contracts to buy U.S. homes in
July, but the level stayed close to a 6
1/2-year high. The modest decline sug-
gests higher mortgage rates have yet
to sharply slow sales.
The National Association of
Realtors says its seasonally adjusted
index for pending home sales declined
1.3 percent to 109.5. Thats close to
Mays reading of 111.3, which was the
highest since December 2006.
The small decline suggests sales of
previously owned homes should
remain healthy in the coming months.
There is generally a one- to two-month
lag between a signed contract and a
completed sale.
Final sales jumped to an annual pace
of 5.4 million in July, the highest in 3
1/2 years, the Realtors said last week.
Thats consistent with a healthy hous-
ing market.
Higher mortgage rates appeared to
have had a bigger impact on new-home
sales, which plummeted last month.
That raised fears that rate increases
were restraining the housing recovery.
But many economists note that
home prices and mortgage rates remain
low by historical standards.
Consistent job gains and rising con-
sumer confidence may also support
sales in the coming months.
Higher mortgage rates are clearly
negative for housing, but other key
drivers, including the labor market,
condence, and expectations for prices
and interest rates still point to
improvement, Jim OSullivan, chief
U.S. economist at High Frequency
Economics, said in a note to clients.

NEWYORK Motorolas new Moto
X phone doesnt cost more to make
simply because its assembled in Texas,
research rm IHS said Wednesday.
The Moto X is the rst smartphone to
carry the Made in the U.S.A. designa-
tion.
Labor costs are higher in the U.S.
compared with Asian factories, where
phones are typically made. But IHS said
the Moto X is about 5 percent cheaper
to make than Samsung Electronic Co.s
agship Galaxy S4 phone. The rm said
the Moto Xs overall production cost is
just 9 percent more than that of Apples
iPhone 5.
The ndings come as little surprise,
as the labor cost of a phone is just a
small part of its production cost. IHS
estimates that labor and other assembly
costs Motorola $12 per phone for the
Moto X, bringing the production cost
to $226. That compares with $207 for
the iPhone 5 and $237 for the Galaxy
S4. IHS said Motorola is able to keep
the cost of parts low by using standard
components that dont break much new
ground.
First U.S.-made smartphone just as cheap to produce
Unemployment rates fall
in two-thirds of U.S. cities
WASHINGTON Unemployment rates fell in two-
thirds of large U.S. metro areas in July, a sign of wide-
spread improvement in the job market.
The Labor Department said Wednesday that unemploy-
ment rates fell in 239 of the nations 372 largest cities
in July from June. Rates rose in 103 and were unchanged
in 30.
The U.S. unemployment rate fell last month to a 4
1/2-year low of 7.4 percent. Thats down from 7.6 per-
cent in June. Employers added 162,000 jobs. Thats
enough to lower the unemployment rate but below the
average monthly gain of 192,000 this year.
Fewer cities are reporting unusually high unemploy-
ment rates. Forty-one cities reported a rate above 10
percent last month, down from 67 a year earlier.
At the same time, 34 cities had unemployment rates
below 5 percent, nearly double the 18 in July 2012.

Manziel has been embroiled in an auto-

to what they believe

caliber of team the
Aggies will face in

Give me a break. First of all, the Rice
game is what football people call a body

national power taking on a team that has
no chance of beating the big bully. All it is

and slink away.

If youre a boxing fan, youll want to
check out Saturdays Beautiful Brawlers
III, a 21-fight card at SportsHouse in
Redwood City, featuring some of the top,
amateur women in the sport today.
The event was originally scheduled to be
held in Pacica, like the previous two incar-
nations of this event, but according to an
email from coordinator Jerry Hoffman, the
event was moved to SportsHouse because
the show became too big, too quick.
Blanca Gutierrez, co-owner/coach of
Babyface Boxing in Pacica and the match-
maker for Saturdays card, said SportsHouse
really stepped up to help her put on the best
show possible.
Gutierrez, started the Beautiful Brawlers
card as a way to showcase womens boxing.
The reason I wanted to start this was
because I would go (take my ghters) to
other local shows and they couldnt match
up the girls, Gutierrez said. I wanted to put
on quality (womens) matches. We really
pick the best ghters, to give some credi-
bility to womens boxing.
Gutierrez said Saturdays card is essential-
ly invitation only. She had a list of ghters
she wanted and then worked on getting them
to commit to the card.
This year, I had more applicants than the

ment), Gutierrez said. (The fighters I

DETROIT Brandon Moss homered
twice, drove in a career-high six runs in the
Oakland Athletics 14-4 rout of the Detroit
Tigers on Wednesday night.
Moss has three home runs in his past two
games for Oakland, which had a season-high
21 hits and has won the rst three games of
the four-game series by a combined 28-13.
Josh Donaldson had three hits and drove
in two runs and Eric Sogard had two RBIs for
the Athletics.
Torii Hunter homered for the AL Central-
leading Tigers. Hunter and Victor Martinez
each had three hits.
Oakland starter Daniel Straily (7-7) got
his rst win since July 9. He allowed a run
and eight hits over six innings, walking two
and striking out four.
Straily had been 0-5 with a 5.20 ERA i n
his past seven starts, since being recalled
from Triple-ASacramento. He went down to
the minor league club in late June.
Left-hander Brett Anderson relieved
Straily to start the seventh and pitched the
last three innings for his rst major league
save.
It was the usual starters rst appearance
since April 29, after being sidelined with a
stress fracture to his right foot. He was rein-
stated from the 60-day disabled list earlier
on Wednesday.
He allowed three runs and ve hits and
struck out a batter.
Tigers starter Doug Fister (11-7) took the
loss. He gave up seven runs and 13 hits in
ve innings.
He was followed to the mound by Jose
Alvarez, who allowed ve runs and ve hits
in 2 1/3 innings.
Drew Smyly and Jeremy Bonderman n-
ished the game.
Oakland used ve consecutive singles and
a sacrice y for three runs in the second to
take the lead. Sogard and Kurt Suzuki had
run-scoring singles and Donaldson hit a sac-
rice y.
Hunter put Detroit on the board and made it
3-1 with his 15th homer in the third. With
one out, Hunter hammered Strailys 1-1
pitch into the left-eld stands.
The Athletics then added four more runs in
the top of the fth for a 7-1 lead. Moss drove
in the rst run with a double and Yoenis
Cespedes, Alberto Callaspo and Sogard pro-
duced RBI singles.
Oakland blasts Tigers
By Michael Kelly
DENVER Jhoulys Chacin did not allow
a hit until there were two outs in the seventh
inning and hustled for a crucial RBI to help
the Colorado Rockies beat the San
Francisco Giants 5-4 Wednesday night.
Vying for the second no-hitter in fran-
chise history and second ever at Coors
Field, Chacin (13-7) tied a season high with
nine strikeouts. Brandon Crawfords single
to center field was the only hit Chacin
allowed in seven innings. He also yielded
an unearned run.
The crowd of 27,268 gave Chacin a stand-
ing ovation after Crawfords hit.
Troy Tulowitzki and Wilin Rosario had
two hits each for Colorado, which built a 5-
1 lead through six innings.
Giants starter Madison Bumgarner (11-9)
was effective until the sixth. He allowed just
three hits including Nolan Arenados RBI
double in the second before Colorado tagged
him in the sixth.
DJ LeMahieu led off the inning with a sin-
gle, Tulowitzki walked and Rosario hit a
bloop single to center to make it 2-1.
Jean Machi entered and got Arenado to hit
a comebacker, but Crawford dropped the
throw to second to load the bases. Yorvit
Torrealbas ground-rule double made it 4-1,
and after an intentional walk Chacin beat
out a potential double-play ball at rst for
another run.
The Giants nearly left Chacin with a no-
decision when they rallied for three runs in
the eighth. Brandon Belt hit an RBI double,
Buster Posey drove in another run with a
groundout and Pence singled to make it 5-4.
Rex Brothers worked the ninth for his
14th save.
While Chacin was bafing the Giants, the
defense behind him was suspect.

SEATTLE If this story seems all too
familiar for Matt Flynn, well, it is.
While Flynn sits on the bench and rests a
sore elbow Thursday night, Terrelle Pryor
will get his opportunity to earn the Oakland
Raiders starting quarterback job when they
close out the preseason
against the Seattle
Seahawks.
Its almost the exact
scenario as a year ago
when Flynn entered train-
ing camp with the
Seahawks expected to be
their No. 1 quarterback,
only to see Russell
Wilson race past him on
the depth chart and nab the starting nod.
Now, Flynn will be stuck as a spectator
watching if Pryor can close out an impres-
sive preseason and solidify his case that he
should be the starter when they open the sea-
son at Indianapolis.
Im going to keep showing the coaches
what I can do good and keep getting better at
the things that Im not doing so good at, and
thats something that I can clean up on and
get better at, Pryor said. Thats the thing,
Im denitely not all the way there in terms
of the playbook and in terms of just being a
quarterback out there. Im learning still.
Dont get me wrong, I can lead if I was called
upon to do it. Im just out there getting bet-
ter and trying to get in synch with the
guys.
Flynn thought when he got his freedom
from backup duty in Seattle after his trade to
Oakland during the offseason that hed nal-
ly be a starter. That was supposed to be the
case when he signed with the Seahawks dur-
ing the 2012 offseason as the biggest free
agent quarterback not named Peyton
Manning. That was also before the
Seahawks drafted Wilson in the third round
and watched him earn the starting job
through a dynamic preseason that was vali-
dated in the regular season when he led
Seattle to 11 wins and a road playoff victory.
Flynn was slowed during the 2012 presea-
son by a sore elbow and the same problem
could be at the root of what gives Pryor his
chance to solidify the job.
Weve gotten a lot of time to evaluate
that position. When you look at OTAs,
when you look at the mini-camps, when you
look at what weve been through in training
camp, the three preseason games weve
played already, I dont think thats necessar-
ily going to make that decision any more
difcult, Raiders coach Dennis Allen said.
I think theres been some competition. I
think both of them at times have done some
really good things. Both of them have done
some things that need improving. Thats
really where were at with the quarterback
position.
Flynn has not been bad during the presea-
son and has played with and against starters.
Hes completing 70 percent of his passes,
but threw two awful interceptions last week
against Chicago and has been sacked seven
times. Playing against mostly backups,
Pryor is completely only 58 percent, but
has avoided the sacks and has brought an
added element with his ability to run. Pryor
goes into the nal preseason game as the
Raiders second-leading rusher with 83 yards
rushing and their only touchdown on the
ground.
Fans were chanting for Pryor last week in
Oakland while Flynn struggled. Pryor said
his emotions were mixed hearing the calls.
Obviously you want to be on the eld and
play, but you also have feelings for a guy
that youre in a room with, Pryor said. Im
in meeting room with the guy 13, 14 hours
of a day. I didnt think they went about it the
right way. I went in and they got what they
wanted, but I thought it could have been a
better way, not booing him and stuff like
that.

STANFORD They traveled here from all
over the country. They packed pens and papers
and a list of questions and studied for hours
preparing for fall exams.
No, not students.
Like the venture capitalists who visit this
Silicon Valley campus searching for new ideas
every year, about a half-dozen NFL teams sent
coaches this offseason to see Stanford defensive
coordinator Derek Mason, whose unit has
become its own kind of innovator in the offen-
sive-oriented Pac-12 Conference.
Every coach wanted to know just what has
been No. 4 Stanfords secret to slowing down
hurry-up offenses and solving read-option runs.
Mason swears theres no magic formula.
Its just things they hadnt seen in a long
time, but they know how to defend it. Its just
structurally you have to get back to, OK, what
does it look like in terms of putting the pieces
together to make it happen? Mason said.
Its like an English 202 class. You go in and
you understand the basics of English. But what
you have to do is go in, rene it a little bit, write
a couple of essays and papers and after you n-
ish your dissertation youre like, OK, I can do
this. So, really, guys are doing what they did
16, 17 years ago. Except, for the most part, its
just retouching it.
Nobody in the conference and maybe the
nation has been ahead of the curve more than
the Cardinals defense.
Stanford led the spread-heavy league in total
defense, scoring defense, rushing defense,
sacks and tackles for loss last season. The high-
light came Nov. 17, when the Cardinal beat top-
ranked Oregon 17-14 in overtime en route to a
conference title and eventually the schools rst
Rose Bowl victory in 41 years.
In the seasons rst 10 games, the undefeated
Ducks led the Football Bowl Subdivision with
54.8 points per game and had never scored fewer
than 42 points. They averaged 325 yards rush-
ing before the Cardinal held them to 198 in
Eugene.
The game made defensive coordinators nally
realize it was time to stop being surprised by
what Stanford is doing and start learning how to
do it themselves.
People kind of respect what we do, outside
linebacker Trent Murphy said. They want to try
to gure out how we do it and manipulate it
themselves. Its a compliment and showing
that were doing things right here.
Stanford coach David Shaw said the relation-
ship between his program and NFL coaches is
nothing new. In the past two years alone, he has
visited the Denver Broncos and sent assistants
to the Tennessee Titans to share ideas.
What is different, Shaw said, is NFL coaches
are publicizing the meetings at Stanford this
offseason after the emergence of read-option
quarterbacks such as Colin Kaepernick, Russell
Wilson and Robert Grifn III coupled with Chip
Kelly leaving Oregon to coach the Philadelphia
Eagles.
Mason, the defensive backs coach for the
Minnesota Vikings from 2007-09 and a former
cornerback at Northern Arizona, doesnt con-
sider himself an expert by any means. While
hes a rising star in the college ranks, he said he
learned as much or more about schemes than he
taught in the summer sessions. No offensive
coaches came.
Ive got offensive friends, but I think they
stay as far away from me as they can, Mason
said.
Stanfords D is drawing
NFL coaches attention
SPORTS 13
each week is to get better, to compete and get
better.
The Knights had a tough time competing
early in the season in 2012, getting shut out
in their rst four games. The offense nally
found some success in the second half of the
season as quarterback Dominic Sabel started
to mature.
I thought he would go through some grow-
ing pains. He got real frustrated last year,
Gittens said. This year, emotionally and
mentally, hes much better. We knew he could
do (things with the ball), but he was just over-
whelmed last year.
Sabel will need to be better if he is to trigger
Gittens version of the spread-option offense.
Gittens said last season he could not really
incorporate the running aspect to his offense
because his players were having enough strug-
gles with the passing game.
This season, the coach plans on installing
both aspects of the offense.
We went from a double-wing (in 2011)
to a system where youre talking about zone
blocking and guys having to run routes. It
(was) just night and day from what they did
before. As the season went along, the kids
starting getting the concepts (of the offense)
down. This year, they have it even more.
This is the second year in this offense and
its really starting to shape up. We have a lot
of speed guys. Were going to be really quick
and aggressive.
Gittens said a number of sprinters from the
track team have come out for football and,
while fast, he isnt sure how they will respond
once they get hit.
One player who already knows his way
around the football eld is 6-4 junior wide
receiver/defensive back Derek Friske, who
Gittens said has already drawn plenty of inter-
est from college programs.
Another kid Gittens is anxious to see in a
game situation is junior wide receiver/defen-
sive back Jordan Duncan, a standout for the
Knights basketball team.
As has been the case for the Knights the last
couple of seasons, numbers have been an
issue. Gittens said he has only 24 players on
the varsity roster this season.
Unlike last year when he had to spend more
time on teaching his players the game, this
season he has focused on conditioning, know-
ing that game days can be a challenge for a
team thin on numbers.
This year, the kids think were a track team
(weve been running so much), Gittens said.
I have about ve guys who can run the ball,
but the hard thing for us is the line. If we have
a failure, its not because of the running backs
or the wide receivers.

that exists on the Mills campus. At 1-4 in
Peninsula Athletic League Lake Division
play last season, the results werent neces-
sary visible in the win-loss column, but
this season, the core that Krieger and his
staff keep talking about has the Vikings
optimistic.
We have some returning seniors from
last year who are going to be leaders on our
team both on offense and defense athlet-
ic, key-position-type players, Krieger
said. And then were looking for several
key juniors to step in and be starters right
away. We just need to rally the group around
the core and have them elevate their game.
Elevate is the key word for the Vikings
this season. No longer will Mills catch
Lake opponents off-guard the word is
out and the Vikings are no ones pushover.
So the key for Mills in trying to record its
rst winning league season since 2007 is
turning last seasons element of surprise
into a focused attack.
We want our players to play hard from
whistle to whistle, game to game and well
worry about the scoreboard at the end of the
game, Krieger said. Lets control the
things we can control. If we give an honest,
100-percent effort, and were good team-
mates in supporting each other, with the
players that we have right now, we should
be competitive week in and week out in the
Lake Division.
A lot of the teams condence revolves
around running back Antonio Jeffrey, who
had a breakout season as a junior and is back
from a leg injury he suffered at the end of
last year.
Krieger said Jeffrey had a solid off-sea-
son.
Hes bigger, stronger, faster, Krieger
said. Hell be a focal point for sure. We
need to share the ball in order to keep
opposing defenses off of him certainly
give Antonio his touches, but also not just
use him as a one-trick pony.
The Mills offense has a handful of horses.
Krieger said there are about five wide
receivers competing in camp for starting
positions, including his two starters from
last season. Victor Beglitsoff seems to be
the most gifted, physically, of the bunch.
But the most interesting and compelling
race is happening at the quarterback posi-
tion. Theres a bit of buzz surrounding the
play of Marquis Atkins, who brings a lot of
athleticism and size to QB. His athletic tal-
ent has him in wide-out and linebacker races
as well.
He certainly has the athletic ability to
turn heads and draw a lot of attention to
what were doing on the football eld,
Krieger said. Its going to just depend on
how the quarterback position falls.
Mills doesnt have much bulk in the
trenches, but they have a player in Sale
Langi, who can be a very interesting and
dominating element for the program.
He can be a difference-maker on the
offensive line and defensive line, Krieger
said. His size alone will create mismatches
for us.
In addition, Krieger said a player of Gabe
Sanchezs quality gives his team one of the
better lineman in the PAL Lake.
Player turn out continues to be an issue
for Mills so Krieger and his staff are
managing those pesky training camp
injuries very closely. But as he mentioned,
if theyre able to stay healthy, the Vikings
could pose several problems for Lake oppo-
nents.
We certainly need to limit the
turnovers, Krieger said. We arent good
enough to overcome one or two turnovers a
game and keep our defense out there longer.
We need to absorb some clock, put some
points on the board and give our defense a
rest.

Manziel to sit half of
A&Ms opener against Rice
HOUSTON Johnny Footballs season
will start a little late.
Johnny Manziel was suspended for the
rst half of Texas A&Ms opening game
against Rice on Saturday for what the
school called an inadvertent violation of
NCAArules by signing autographs.
The penalty appears to have brought a
quick end to an investigation that could
have ruined the seventh-ranked Aggies
upcoming season.
The school issued a statement Wednesday
saying it declared the Heisman Trophy win-
ner ineligible and that the NCAA agreed to
reinstate Manziel after he sits out the rst
half against the underdog Owls.
I am proud of the way both Coach Sumlin
and Johnny handled this situation, with
integrity and honesty, Texas A&M
Chancellor John Sharp said in the state-
ment. We all take the Aggie Code of Honor
very seriously and there is no evidence that
either the university or Johnny violated
that code.

the same effect. Want to really punish him
and the Aggies? Have Manziel sit out the
rst half of the Alabama game THAT
would have an impact.
Secondly, as far am Im concerned, if
anyone believes Manziel who supposed-
ly signed his name on hundreds of pieces of
memorabilia did not take money for
these sessions, youre delusional.
Memorabilia agents, who were allegedly in
the room at the time of the autograph ses-
sion, have said, point blank, Johnny
Football did, indeed, take money in
exchange for his John Hancock.
Which leads me to my third point. The
fact the NCAAcould not corroborate these
reports during its investigation, once
again shows how inept the NCAAis at nd-
ing real infractions against big-name
schools.
But what incentive does it have to do so?
Texas A&M brings in tens of millions of
dollars, some of which must surely end up
in the coffers of the NCAA. Thats why the
big name schools continue to get away
with skirting the NCAAlaw, but a student-
athlete using a Humboldt State University
spigot and hose to wash her car gets dinged
for an NCAAinfraction.
Hopefully, Texas A&M can escape with
a win over the Owls despite Manziels
stiff discipline.
What a joke.

The football coaches in the West
Catholic Athletic League were polled about
the predicted WCAL standings for the
upcoming season. Serra was chosen to win
the championship, followed by
Bellarmine, Valley Christian, defending
Central Coast Section Open Division
champs St. Ignatius, St. Francis in sixth,
with Sacred Heart Cathedral and Riordan
bringing up the rear.
While this predicted order of nish might
excite some Padres fans, I can almost guar-
antee you coach Patrick Walsh is rolling
his eyes and massaging his temples. First
off, Walsh could care less about polls and
top-10 lists. This will just add to the pres-
sure on him and the Padres to do what is
expected of him by Padre Nation: bring
home a WCAL crown.
My guess is that every coach truly
believes his team will win the title, but
doesnt want the pressure of being picked
to win the championship, so they sandbag
their team while propping up another.
There is no question Serra should factor
into the championship race. But every
game in the WCAL is a battle of attrition.
There are no days off when it comes to the
WCAL schedule. The team that wins the
crown will denitely have earned it. But
that wont be decided until the end of the
season.
The only poll that matters is the one at
the end of the season, not the beginning.

There will be a celebration honoring the
Belmont-Redwood Shores 11-12 Little
League All-Star team from 10 a.m. to 1
p.m. Sunday, Sept. 15 at the Belmont
Sports Complex.
The BRS All Stars went on a magical run
during the Little League all-star season this
summer. After winning the District 52
crown, BRS went on to win the Section 3
and Division 2 tournaments to advance to
the Little League Western Regional tourna-
ment in San Bernardino, the rst District
52 team during the modern era to do so.
BRS advanced to the championship game
of the Western Regional tournament, com-
ing up one win short of qualifying for the
Little League World Series in Williamsport,
Pa. The team that beat BRS, Eastlake Little
League of Chula Vista, made it all the way
to championship game of the World Series
before falling 6-4 to Japan Sunday after-
noon.
The celebration at the Belmont Sports
Complex will feature a ceremony honoring
the team, barbecue, a jump house and re
trucks.

choose) are honored to be on the
show. I take care of them.
One of her biggest gets was
Queen Underwood out of Seattle.
Underwood is the reigning 132-
pound Olympic champion.
Gutierrez said when she explained to
Underwood what she was doing, the
Olympian was on board.
When I called her, I told her it
was an all-female show and she said
she wanted to do it. She had never
done (an all-female card) before,
Gutierrez said. She was all in from
the moment I talked to her.
The bouts run the gamut of the age
spectrum from 9-year-olds up to
ghters preparing to turn pro. All,
however, have plenty of experience
under their belts, including the
younger boxers.
The card will be broken up into
three, seven-bout sections: each
section will feature six ghts and
then a main event, followed by an
intermission.
Saturdays card could be one of the
best Gutierrez has put together.
Several of the bouts feature top-
ranked women. Underwood takes on
Stalacia Leggett, the 2013 Adidas
national champion, who ghts out
of Multi Choice Gym in Hayward.
Local product Casey Morton, who
ghts out of Undisputed Gym in San
Carlos and is ranked No. 4 in the
nation at 119-pounds by USA
Boxing, will have a rematch with
Monterey-based Jamie Mitchell,
the No. 2 ranked ghter at 119 who
beat Morton at the Adidas nationals.
Morton is looking forward to fac-
ing Mitchell again, who beat her by
decision, one with which she didnt
agree.
We thought it was a clear-cut
decision (for me), Morton said. I
kept the pressure up and was scor-
ing. We were a little bit disappoint-
ed and in shock with how the deci-
sion went.
When I got home and talked to
[Gutierrez] she mentioned
[Mitchells] name, I said, Please
match me up with her. Im just
happy to get a rematch.
This will be Mortons second
appearance on a Beautiful
Brawlers card, having fought for
the event last year. She considers it
an honor to be invited back.
Its exciting to ght at home
because I travel so often (to nd
ghts), Morton said. Its exciting
to be part of sort of a milestone in
female boxing.
Were so appreciative of what
Blanca has done (for womens box-
ing).
Marisol Lopez, the current 106-
pound Junior Olympic champion
and six-time national champion,
will also be on the card, as will 16-
year-old Odalys Camacho, 2013
Silver Gloves and Adidas Cup
champ. She will square off with
another teenager, Katrina Nahe, the
2013 International Kickboxing
Federation champion.
Also on the card is a bout featur-
ing 13-year-old Heaven Garcia of
Jerry Ortiz Gym in Southern
California. Garcia is the 2013
Adidas and Silver Gloves champion.
Shes the next phenom,
Gutierrez said.
Garcia will face Yessenia
Martinez.
Also planning to be in attendance
are world yweight champions Ava
Knight and Mighty Melissa
McMorrow. These two will eventu-
ally face off in the ring to consoli-
date the yweight belts, but
Saturday they will be there to sup-
port the women who get in the ring.
Other celebrities expected to be in
attendance are IFBA Lightweight
Champion Crystal Morales, as well
as professional light yweight vet-
eran Jolene Blackshear.
Tickets range in price from $20 to
$60 for ringside seats. They can be
purchased in advance at
SportsHouse or at www.babyface-

the door Saturday. Doors open at 1
p.m., with the rst ght scheduled
for 2 p.m.

Renovated Husky
Stadium ready for debut
SEATTLE The nest piece of real estate
in college football now has a facility wor-
thy of its waterfront location.
Husky Stadium is no longer crumbling and
dilapidated. Rebar is no longer exposed,
concrete is no longer cracked and seats dont
feel miles away from the eld.
In the span of 21 months, Washington
went from having an outdated football stadi-
um to a palatial estate on the shores of Lake
Washington.
We can compete with anyone now as far
as facilities. Im very comfortable saying
that with this new happening in football
and this new facility, Washington athletic
director Scott Woodward said on Wednesday.
This is as good as it gets.
Washington will christen its $280 mil-
lion renovation on Saturday night when the
Huskies face No. 19 Boise State. The
Huskies have been using the facility for
most of their fall camp and moved into their
new locker rooms, weight rooms, training
center and ofces a couple of weeks ago.
But the public has been kept behind chain-
link fences with security guards standing
watch to turn away anyone trying to slip
inside for a sneak peak.
The grand unveiling comes on Saturday.

HARRISBURG, Pa. A state judge has
declined to intervene in the growing issue of
boys playing sports traditionally reserved for
girls, saying a previous court ruling doesnt
necessarily prohibit the Pennsylvania
Interscholastic Athletic Association from ban-
ning the practice.
Commonwealth Court Judge Kevin Brobson
on Tuesday turned down a request by the PIAAto
modify a 1975 state court ruling requiring
schools to let girls play on boys teams.
If PIAA, as the primary policymaking body
for interscholastic competition in the
Commonwealth, believes it is appropriate to
take action in this area, then it should take the
rst step into the breach and create a policy,
the judge wrote. Only then, if that policy is
challenged in a court of law, may its constitu-
tionality be evaluated.
Alawyer for the PIAA, which has about 1,400
member schools and 350,000 student partici-
pants, said its board likely would put the topic
on its October meeting agenda. If a new policy
is adopted, it wouldnt take effect for at least a
year.
PIAAgeneral counsel Alan Boynton said the
organization was pretty satised with the
judges ruling.
It wasnt everything we wanted, but it gives
the PIAAthe option of doing what it thinks is
appropriate, he said.
Boynton said some schools ban boys on
girls teams, while others dont. He said mem-
ber schools have been pressuring the PIAAto
address the issue. The organization doesnt plan
to change the ability of girls to play on boys
teams.
APittsburgh couple, lawyers Mary and James
Grenen, sought to have the 1975 case reopened
last year after seeing what occurred in the high
school eld hockey games involving their
daughters. The Grenens wrote in a May ling
that the increasing numbers of boys on girls
teams have made a mockery of some high
school sports.
The presence of boys competing on all girls
teams has caused other students to show up as
spectators and mockingly cheer them on
thus rendering the entire game a joke except
that it is not a joke to the girl who is sitting on
the bench, not playing, not getting a varsity
letter, or whose team is losing because of the
boys playing on the opposing team, they
wrote.
The attorney generals ofce has repeatedly
argued that boys should be allowed to play on
girls teams, saying in an April ling that the
state constitutions Equal Rights Amendment
requires it.
The alleged sex differences and risk of injury
which the Grenens and the PIAAhave identied
as a basis for modifying the (1975) injunction
ignores the purpose of the ERA, and additional-
ly, rely on and perpetuate gender stereotypes,
Senior Deputy Attorney General Sarah C.
Yeager wrote.
The PIAA has said in court lings that the
increasing numbers of boys on girlsteams has
skewed the competitive balance and raised safe-
ty issues. It said boys tended to outperform girls
as a class in competitive sports. It cited last
years state cross-country championship, in
which 505 of 674 boys nished before the rst
of 663 girls.
Arecent survey, to which about half the PIAA
schools responded, indicated about three in ve
allow boys to play on girlsteams. Thirty-eight
schools said boys had played eld hockey, and
they reported 13 injuries.
Fourteen schools said boys played girlsvol-
leyball, eight said boys played girls lacrosse,
ve said boys played girlssoccer and one had a
boy on the girls swim team and one on the
girls tennis team.
By comparison, 104 schools said girls had
played football, 112 said they wrestled and 34
said they played boys soccer.

You want a better bathroom, but dont
want to put a drain on your nances?
Worry not. This is one room in the
house where little things mean a lot.
On the other hand, if you want to go
luxe, there are also a variety of new
products that can turn the bathroom
into a showcase.
SIMPLE FIXES
Often small and poorly lit, bath-
rooms can end up neglected. But theyre
probably the easiest room to make
over, says Ingrid Abramovitch, senior
editor and writer at Elle Decor magazine
and author of Restoring a House in the
City (Artisan, 2009).
Avery basic change is to buy a new
shower curtain and good quality towels.
Is this a kids bathroom? Think
bright colors and fun patterns. Or, to
create a spa-like retreat, look for uffy
towels in serene neutrals, and maybe
add accessories like new soap dishes
and towel rails in elegant materials. If
you want to up the luxe factor, think
about installing a towel warmer.
Another easy change is to swap out
your shower head for a new, multifunc-
tion model. If your water pressure isnt
all it could be, shower heads designed to
boost spray power can help. You might
also try a shower lter to see if you
notice an improvement; basic models
can be found from under $30 from
brands such as Aquasana and Sprite.
Ahot trend is bringing music into the
bathroom the better to accompany
your shower serenades. The Moxie
showerhead from Kohler, for example,
has a built-in wireless speaker that uses
Bluetooth technology to sync with
your music device. (Suggested retail for
the showerhead: $199.)
If youre feeling handy, one of the
cheapest ways to transform a bathroom
or any room is color. You can
always very quickly change the aesthet-
ics of a room with a can of paint, says
David Alhadeff, interior designer and
founder of The Future Perfect, a furnish-
ings store based in San Francisco and
New York.
Is the room white? How might it look
in bright yellow with towels and bath
mat to match?
Look for the new humidity-resistant
paints that come in at nishes for a
rened look.
Another way to make a big change is
to reevaluate the lighting. Alot of bath-
rooms still have a single overhead light
xture, which casts unattering shad-
ows.
Lighting is everything in the bath-
room, and there are a lot of tricks to
how we want to illuminate ourselves
within that space to make ourselves
look best, says Alhadeff. If youre
getting only overhead lighting, youre
not getting the clear picture of what you
look like.
If you already have lighting around
your mirror, a change of bulbs can work
wonders, and lighting along the side of
the mirrors is preferable, says Alhadeff.
Creating layered lighting is more
involved than buying a new towel,
especially if you have to hire someone
to add electrical outlets for sconces and
mirror lighting, but it can make a bath-
room much more inviting.
A cheaper, albeit temporary, way to
create a soft ambience: Light a few can-
dles.
BIG-TICKET ITEMS
So much for budget-conscious bath-
room makeovers. What if youve just
won the lottery and are ready to make a
really big splash?
Large, free-standing tubs are chic
right now, says Abramovitch. Some
people are making room for them by
taking guest bedrooms and turning
them into a bathroom-dressing room,
with a free-standing tub surrounded by
built-in closets and other accessories.
Hot tubs, too, have evolved, with new
systems that create smaller bubbles, as
opposed to the roaring jets of yester-
year.
And what high-end bathroom would
be complete without a high-tech toilet?
Take Kohlers Numi model, which
includes a motion-activated cover and
seat, built-in bidet function, charcoal-
lter deodorizer and air vents at the
oor to warm your toes. Naturally, there
are illuminated panels with different
colors that can be set for the day of the
week. A remote control with a touch
screen allows you to set your prefer-
ences on settings and, of course, you
can play your favorite music via
Bluetooth connection.
For a better bathroom, fixes small and large
Bathrooms are probably the easiest room to make over.

SUBURBAN LIVING
By Dean Fosdick
Turf grass is the groundcover of choice for
many property owners, mainly for its rich,
carpet-like appearance. But grass is thirsty,
demands frequent maintenance and provides
little wildlife appeal.
Thats where other groundcovers come
into play.
How do you choose which cover-up is
right for your yard?
First, determine the role it must play.
Most groundcover perennials evergreen
or deciduous, woody or herbaceous pro-
vide dense soil cover, discourage weed
growth, prevent soil erosion and provide
visual interest.
How does the area that you want to cover
impact visually with the rest of your sur-
roundings? asks Rebecca Finneran, a hor-
ticulture educator with Michigan State
University Extension.
For instance, you might not want to ll in
a bed next to your home with a grass that
gets 6 feet tall. But grass-like groundcovers
such as Liriope (creeping lilyturf) are well-
suited to much of the country and needs
mowing just once a year, she says.
Make sure you select groundcover plants
that will adapt readily to the site condi-
tions.
Sun or shade? Root competition from
surrounding trees or shrubs? Drainage and
types of soil on the property?
Microclimates such as reective surfaces,
high wind, a septic eld that stays warm all
winter? Make the right plant choice,
Finneran says in an email.
Many groundcovers thrive in areas where
turf grass wont grow, like dense shade, or
in soggy or acidic soils. In the latter case,
try moss. Its color and texture adds interest,
and moss is nearly maintenance free.
Other groundcover considerations:
Deer resistance. This is where short
shrubs work well, like junipers, which
also are shade-tolerant and give off
pleasant odors. Other deer-deterrent
groundcover plants include catnip,
creeping thyme and spurge.
Invasiveness. How readily do the plants
reproduce, and are you planning to maintain
them or let them run? In the case of the lat-
ter, gardeners should choose plants that
only grow in a clump not run under-
ground, Finneran says.
Good weed control is a must. Adding a
thick layer of mulch helps retain moisture
and keeps weeds down until the new plants
are able to root.
Managed meadows rich in prairie owers
are an attractive alternative to turf grass.
These no-mow areas lter water, encourage
the return of native plants that provide food
and cover for wildlife, and have curb
appeal, says Susan Barton, an extension
horticulturist with the University of
Delaware.
Watering. Groundcovers have about one-
quarter the nutrient needs of turf but do need
water on a regular basis, especially during
their rst year, while theyre getting estab-
lished.
While groundcovers may not enjoy the
esteem of well-manicured lawns, they are a
practical step up in problem areas.
The use of groundcovers is limited only
by your imagination, Finneran says. By
using a combination of plants, gardeners
can weave an interesting tapestry that is
both functional and natural looking.
Choose groundcovers for their function
old span.
But while a building on land can be
demolished fairly quickly, the bridges
location over the Bay requires the
painstaking removal of the span piece by
piece.
Bay Bridge spokesman Andrew Gordon
said the demolition of the old span can
begin as soon as traffic is off the bridge
and should be completed by 2016.
Crews will begin taking apart the bridge
from west to east, starting with the tempo-
rary S-curve installed in 2009 and then
moving east along the cantilever section
toward Oakland, Gordon said.
The project will use the plans for the old
bridge to help crews take it apart, Gordon
said.
Were studying the blueprints of how
the bridge got built to use that as a guide to
how to basically take it apart, he said.
Bridge officials say the demolition work
must be done with great care because it will
be performed within close proximity of
moving vehicle traffic on the new span, as
well as a new bike and pedestrian pathway
on the bridge.
Gordon said Silverado Contractors Inc.
and California Engineering Contractors
Inc. are carrying out the project.
The two East Bay-based companies both
have experience working on the Bay
Bridge project, as well as the replacement
of the old Carquinez Bridge near Vallejo.
Metropolitan Transportation
Commission spokesman John Goodwin
said authorities do not anticipate drivers to
be distracted by the dismantling work, cit-
ing the Carquinez Bridge project as a simi-
lar example.
To a large degree, people are used to it,
Goodwin said. Its pretty slow work, cut-
ting loose one piece at a time, so youre
not seeing an entire section of bridge com-
ing down at one time.
He said the current cost forecast for the
demolition project is $233.7 million,
which is part of the overall $6.4 billion
cost of the bridge replacement.
Goodwin also cautioned Bay Area resi-
dents to not be impatient with the disman-
tling of the old bridge.
Its going be a long, slow, laborious
process under the best of circumstances,
he said.
More information about the replacement
of the eastern span can be found online at
www.baybridgeinfo.org.

span, setting off a public works project
marked by numerous delays, political ghts
over its design and complex engineering
hurdles.
Transportation ofcials urged people to
plan ahead for the closure. BARTtrains will
run 24 hours starting Wednesday night, and
bus and ferry service will also be bolstered
to help people move around.
Be patient, wherever youre going, said
John Goodwin, spokesman for the
Metropolitan Transportation Commission.
We saw this same thing during the bridge
closures in 2007 and 2009. The Bay Area
keeps moving. It just becomes more slug-
gish.
Once trafc is stopped over the bridge,
construction crews will immediately begin
preparing the new single-tower suspension
span for its opening.
All large-scale construction on the new
span has been nished, so crews will be
working around the clock to prepare the
gleaming white span for trafc by striping
lanes, and adding railings and other nal
details, Gordon said.
Still, many details of the new bridges
opening are still up in the air, including
who will be there to cut the chain in the
ofcial opening ceremony, which is sched-
uled for 3 p.m. Monday.
Gov. Jerry Brown, who was intimately
involved in the bridges planning as mayor
of Oakland, decided to skip the ceremony to
instead be with his wife at a family gather-
ing in Michigan.
When the new bridge does open, CHP
cruisers will lead the rst trafc over the
span to help moderate speed, Ofcer Hill
said.
People planning trips throughout the
region over the Labor Day weekend
should check 511. org for alternative
routes and transportation methods, offi-
cials said.

It is time to think about spring! Well, at
least it is if you are a gardener.
I know, I know, most of us are still trying
to nd some time to enjoy the summer, but
August is a perfect time to place your order
for spring blooming bulbs.
In the past, I placed my bulb orders any-
where from mid-September to mid-October
when temperatures cooled down and I felt
motivated to be out digging in the garden
again. Experience has taught me, however,
that many of the bulbs I want are sold out
by mid-September, so for the past few years
I have been placing my orders in August,
with far better results.
Aside from the fuller selection available,
the other advantage to ordering early is that
in August the garden is still up and full. It is
much easier deciding now where I want
bulbs planted, how many I should order and
where to avoid planting when the time
comes.
By mid-fall, when it is time to plant
bulbs, many perennials, especially early
blooming perennials have already gone
dormant in preparation for winter. This
makes it extremely difcult deciding where
to dig; not only to avoid hitting the peren-
nial, but also remembering how much
space that perennial takes up when it is
growing. Overcrowding can lead to prob-
lems for all plants, especially in spring
when plant growth is at its peak.
Most bulbs do best in situations with
well-drained soil and full sun. There are
exceptions, thankfully, and one of my
favorite spring blooming bulbs thrives in
the moist, heavy soil near my pond.
Camassia leichtlinii is a rather small
bulb that produces tall spikes of beautiful
blue flowers. Native to the Pacific
Northwest, it was used as a food source by
Native Americans. Camassia grows in
moist meadows in either full sun or partial
shade. In time, large clumps will form pro-
ducing dozens of rich blue spires in mid-
spring.
I have planted masses of this bulb in the
wet meadow just below my pond. It thrives
there in the moist soil but does equally well
when planted alongside other bulbs in reg-
ular garden soil. When the clumps are in
bloom it is spectacular.
The double form called Camassia l. semi-
plena has creamy white owers and also
performs well in moist and regular garden
soils. In my garden, semiplena produces
taller spikes than its blue cousin. Their ele-
gant ivory color is easily overlooked in the
spring garden when vibrant colored owers
are in bloom, so site this bulb with either a
dark background or in a location that you
walk past frequently so you can enjoy its
tall spires of double alabaster owers.
Another of my favorite spring bulbs also
performs well in either sun or shade and is
also tolerant of moist soil, although not to
the same extent as Camassia.
Leucojum aestivum Gravetye Giant has
owers that look like lily of the valley on
steroids. Rising up 2.5 feet to 3 feet tall,
the bulbs long, arching stems are lined
with teacup-shaped white owers. The petal
tips of each ower have green dots that,
when viewed up close, look as if they were
painted on by hand.
This bulb also does well in average gar-
den soil, but when grown in moist condi-
tions readily forms large, showy clumps
that thrive for long periods. Some of my
clumps have been happily growing in the
same spot for more than 15 years.
Occasionally, I dig and divide the clumps
after they have nished owering and their
foliage is almost dead. To my surprise, I
also nd that Leucojum occasionally sows
itself around my garden, often popping up
in spots that I wouldnt have thought to
plant it.
There is still time left this summer to
relax in the shade with some light reading.
Why not make it a bulb catalog and get a
jump on spring?
Thinking aheadto springtime bulbs
The spring bulb Leucojum aestivum Gravetye Giant is a spring bulb that thrives in sun or
shade.

addition to the clinics proximity to a

If we withhold the appeal we
remove the possibility of health serv-
ices, said Councilman Mark Addiego.
I know, no matter how conicted, I
have to vote on the land use issue.
Planned Parenthood supporters held
pink I stand with Planned
Parenthood signs, while those
against held green NO to Planned
Parenthood, YES to the appeal signs.
The South San Francisco Planning
Commission approved Planned
Parenthoods application in May to
open downtown, but a group called
Respect Life South San Francisco led
an appeal against the approval.
The appeal, made on May 17 by
Gregory Weiler, the attorney repre-
senting Rosa Gomez, Rolando
Delgadillo, Vera Priego, Teresita
Valido and Respect Life South San
Francisco, said that adding Planned
Parenthood violates the California
Environmental Quality Act, would
cause parking problems, violates zon-
ing and would cause constant pro-life
protests on location.
The Planning Commission had
determined the project was categorical-
ly exempt under CEQA.
Weiler said CEQA exemptions
should only apply if theres no
extraordinary circumstances.
Staff has done you a disservice in
misstating the law, he said. There are
physical impacts from this. The short-
cut should not be utilized in any kind
of use.
Guadalupe Rodriguez, director of
public affairs for Planned Parenthood,
said the company chose South San
Francisco because of the high rate of
uninsured.
There are no legal or factual reasons
to deny us this permit, Rodriguez
said. We are here to meet the need for
services in South San Francisco.
Some came out in support of uphold-
ing the appeal.
Resident Sandra Dillard asked the
council to please ... not partner with
this evil against humanity during
public comment. Others brought up
concerns about decreasing property
values. Representatives from the
opposing group said that there are
more than 2,000 signatures for a peti-
tion against the Planned Parenthood.
City Council candidate Colin Post
spoke against the Planned Parenthood
being installed, noting his opposition
to the morning after pill.
Others spoke out to support Planned
Parenthood.
City Council candidate Kate McKay
spoke at the meeting, saying she could
not imagine keeping affordable health
care away from women. San Mateo
County Supervisor Dave Pine said at
the meeting it was clear that this is a
land use issue and said he supports
Planned Parenthoods services.
The new three-story 7,846-square-
foot clinic will not provide surgical
abortion but will issue emergency con-
traceptives, contraceptives and pro-
vide sexually transmitted disease test-
ing and treatment, Planned Parenthood
Mar Monte spokeswoman Lupe
Rodriguez said previously. Planned
Parenthood does not plan to offer
chemical abortion, or RU-486, but it
could be added without returning to the
city for zoning approval, Rodriguez
said previously.

By Frazier Moore
LOS ANGELES Since word got out
about Sam Simons cancer, this co-cre-
ator of The Simpsons and fervent
philanthropist has heard from many
people online asking to help rid him
of his sizable wealth.
Some people just want a million
dollars. Or help with college tuition.
And the rest have business proposi-
tions, he chortles. Like that should
be my legacy: to lose money on your
movie or your moisturizer line.
Im bedridden, says Simon, milk-
ing the scenario for all its tragicomic
worth, weighing whether to dole my
money to people lined up outside the
house!
He laughs, flashing a piano-keys
grin. Then he gets serious.
Im supporting the charities that I
supported during my lifetime, he
states, and I want to continue to do
that. With every cent of his fortune.
Simon, 58, isnt exactly bedridden.
For this recent interview he has pre-
sented himself, sporty in sweater and
slacks, to meet with a reporter in the
guest house of his swank estate in
Pacic Palisades.
He pads into the
kitchen and makes
himself a coffee
before firing up a
robust Cuban cigar,
then alternately sits
and reclines on a
wall-length ban-
quette that looks out
on his lawn of statu-
ary, including one of the original casts
of Auguste Rodins The Thinker.
Fitting. Sam Simon has had much to
think about since his advanced colon
cancer was diagnosed last November
after a year of inconclusive tests and
mysterious discomfort.
Having deed that diagnosis origi-
nal death sentence he was given
three to six months to live Simon
continues to push ahead with no whiff
of Why me?
Instead, I think, This is a really
bad situation and what else can I do
to get out of it?
What hes doing right now is mobi-
lizing a dozen lines of attack, some
traditional, some wacky. But he says
one of his new medications weighs
him down with fatigue.
Is this Monday? he wonders aloud.
I think Ive been sleeping since
Friday. Id rather be nauseous than
tired, I think.
Pick your poison. Simon is living
the nightmare of anyone who so far
has been spared cruel evidence of ones
own mortality. But Simon seems to
frame it mostly with a laugh or a shrug.
Maybe that bets a world-class wag
who has long thumbed his nose at
authority and other human vanities,
who has lampooned the human condi-
tion with insight and humor for an
audience of millions, and been richly
rewarded for his labors.
Simon grew up comfortably in
Beverly Hills, but his father was in
the garment industry, not show biz,
which puts him at a loss to account
for his comedic gifts (never mind
Groucho Marx lived across the
street).
After turning his drawing talent
into a job at an animation studio that
made cartoons for kids, Simon sub-
mitted a script, on spec, to the glori-
ous ABC comedy Taxi. His script
was bought and produced, and Simon,
in his 20s, was hired as a staff writer
and soon rose to be the showrunner.

VirGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Put time and effort into a
major involvement, and youll encounter a crackerjack
fnancial opportunity. Trust what you know, not what
someone else tells you. Skill development will come in
handy later.
LiBra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Excess will lead to trouble.
Assess your situation and you will realize you can
make do with less. Aggressive behavior will damage
a close relationship, so put the other partys interests
ahead of your own.
sCOrPiO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Seek adventure and
expand your knowledge. The people and places you
encounter will feed your imagination and contribute
major improvements to your home and work lives.
saGiTTariUs (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Avoid a scuffe
with someone who is in a position of authority. It would
be best for you to make personal changes at home,
where you can remain in control and out of trouble.
CaPriCOrn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Make your point
heard and your suggestions will be considered. Keep
the competition at a distance and your superiors well-
informed. Protect your interests and you will excel.
aQUariUs (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Share your intentions
with someone you trust. Now could be the time to
suggest some changes to your loved ones. Opportunity
will come from an unusual source, but you must be
prepared to seize it.
PisCes (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Question the relevant
motives before you jump into a joint endeavor. You and
the other party probably do not have the same purpose
in mind. Going solo may be the answer.
aries (March 21-April 19) -- Youll be drawn to
someone for what you see as their unique qualities.
Dont fall for big talk when you have all the facts you
need. Size up your situation to make changes and take
control.
TaUrUs (April 20-May 20) -- Plan a mini vacation
or visit someone who brings you joy. Spending time
relaxing and catching up will encourage you to make
personal improvements.
GeMini (May 21-June 20) -- Talk less and focus on
making a difference. Dont feel the need to pay for
others or to try to buy love. Do something that will
raise your profle and your confdence.
CanCer (June 21-July 22) -- Youve got everything
you need to reach your personal goals. Set your sights
high and reach for the stars. Youll learn what you need
to make the right choices.
LeO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A change will do you good.
It could involve travel or simply trying a new activity
or mingling with a new group. Youll make some long-
lasting connections if you put yourself out there.

ding on a lien, not on the property itself.
Placing the highest bid at a trustee auc-

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

may be postponed one or more times by
the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a
