An effort by Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-
San Mateo, to secure state funding for San
Mateo Countys replacement jail in
Redwood City didnt pass out of a key com-
mittee yesterday which leaves local of-
cials without a hefty subsidy for the esti-
mated $150 million facility.
Hills bill would have
given San Mateo County
preference because its
project is shovel-ready
rather than conceptual
like many of the coun-
ties previously awarded
funding. After the bill
failed to gain a motion
for vote in the Assembly
Public Safety Committee yesterday, Hill
chalked the defeat up to those counties feel-
ing their money would be jeopardized by
prioritizing ready counties like San Mateo.
He said there may be future amendments that
could make the idea more palatable and
promised not to give up ghting.
Meanwhile, those opposing the jail under
any conditions, like Redwood City Council
candidate James Lee Han, hope the bills
failure will stop construction in its tracks.
Its not just the social justice issues. Its
about being fiscally conservative, Han
said. We should just cut our losses now.
Han pointed to a civil grand jury report
questioning the reality of San Mateo
Countys structural deficit, saying the
states resources should not be allocated to a

A heard of goats and sheep graze near the bluffs in Half Moon Bay as part of the Coastside Land Trusts conservation efforts.
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
For six days, a large group of goats
and sheep indulged in a meal of coastal
brush and grass after being herded
toward the bluffs between Poplar and
Kelly state beaches in Half Moon Bay.
The goats and sheep are used to mow
down overgrown vegetation and reduce
re hazards. The nonprot Coastside
Land Trust hired these hungry grazers
to help preserve some of the citys his-
toric open spaces.

Woodlake center
remodel approved
Major improvements to San
Mateos Woodlake
Shopping Center, and
its Safeway and Longs
Drug stores, were
approved the week of
Aug. 16, 2008 by the San Mateo
Planning Commission.
The Woodlake Shopping Center, at
the corner of Peninsula Avenue and
Delaware Street, was built in the mid
1960s. Shopping center owners
applied earlier in 2008 for the neces-
sary permits and approvals to revamp
the 40-year-old shopping center.
The remodel of the 50,000-square-
foot center included new exterior and
new signs, a repaved parking lot,
fresh landscaping, a new drive-
through pharmacy and redesigned
Safeway and Longs.
County to require food labeling
County supervisors unanimously
agreed the week of Aug. 16, 2008 to
require food labeling in unincorporat-
ed San Mateo County.
The ordinance affected approxi-
mately 30 businesses in the county
plus chain outlets at San Francisco
International Airport.
The controversial proposal nearly
met one opposition vote by
Supervisor Rich Gordon. Although
Gordon emphatically supported the
idea, he initially suggested the coun-
ty postpone a vote until
lawsuits were settled
against San Francisco and
Santa Clara counties over
similar ordinances.
Schools face legal battle
The rm red in 2007 from oversee-
ing $298 million in construction
projects at local school districts led
a claim against the San Mateo Union
High School for unlimited funds the
week of Aug. 16, 2008.
Oakland-based Skanska Building,
Inc. was slated to oversee construc-
tion management for the six-year
construction plan associated with
Measure M. Numerous questions led
the district Board of Trustees to give
Skanska the pink slip in April 2007
before nding a new company to
oversee construction efforts. On Aug.
4, 2008, Skanska led a claim
against the district calling for pay-
ment promised from a letter of intent
to hire. The board unanimously denied
the claim that week during a closed
session vote.
Yee proposes Half
Moon Bay park plan
Aplan drafted by state Sen. Leland
Yee, D-San Mateo/San Francisco,
the week of Aug. 16, 2008 aimed to
use state housing and park money to
help Half Moon Bay settle a land
dispute without compromising envi-
ronmental precedent.
In March 2008, a settle-
ment agreement dropped a
$41 million federal judg-
ment against the city in exchange
for legislation that would allow
development on two wetland parcels
in Half Moon Bay known as
Beachwood and Glencree. The legis-
lation drew opposition from the
Coastal Commission and environ-
mentalists because it appeared to
sidestep environmental protection
laws.
Under the settlement, both the
city and developer Charles Chop
Keenan agreed that if the legisla-
tion, Assembly Bill 1991, did not
pass than the city would take owner-
ship of the land in exchange for $18
million.
Yees proposal would have provid-
ed up to $10 million in Proposition
1C funds, a 2006 state bond for
housing and rural parks, to create a
public park at the Beachwood prop-
erty.

Facing ever-growing enrollment, the
Sequoia Union High School District is one
step closer to starting a facilities task
force to address the challenge.
At Wednesday nights Board of Trustees
meeting, the board gave direction to the
superintendent to establish a task force to
meet the needs of students and better align
feeder schools to high schools.
Infrastructure improvements would be con-
sidered for classrooms, rest rooms, food
service, locker room space and parking.
The task force will report to the superin-
tendent.
Its not just a question about facilities,
but starting with broad questions with
instructional issues like more art and music
at schools, said Trustee Allen Weiner.
Will we have small specialized high
schools or alternative education? I would
encourage the task force to think very
broadly about districts educational mis-
sion.
The task force will be made up of about
10 people and will likely include two board
members, administrators, teachers, classi-
fied staff and community representatives.
Superintendent James Lianides said the
task force should begin meeting by the end
of September and conclude around March
2014.
The current remaining $165 million
Measure J bond, passed by voters in 2008,
has been exhausted on other projects.
These projects include adding five class-
rooms to Carlmont High School, the move
of the maintenance and transportation
departments to Douglas Street and the pur-
chase of 980 Myrtle St. in East Palo Alto,
according to a staff report. There will also
be construction on the site of 10 addition-
al classrooms for Stanford New Schools,
according to the staff report.
The work is going to be very important
to determine future facilities needs,
Lianides said. It will be a strong factor in
deciding whether to pursue a bond meas-
ure.
Lianides said the bond consideration is
an ongoing topic.
Trustee Carrie Du Bois said she would
like to see a strategic plan in place before
the district sets up a full plan for facilities.
She said she would like to see broad com-
munity input, including that of teachers.
At the meeting, trustees Alan Sarver and
Weiner both expressed interest in joining
the task force.
Looking ahead, the district needs to set
an enrollment target for each campus that
includes the future growth. It can then work
with the community to discuss possible
boundary changes. Staff also plans on
bringing a revised open enrollment policy
to the board at a later meeting.

A former convict who shoved multiple
steaks into his overalls at a Daly City gro-
cery story and threatened officers with a
box cutter was sentenced yesterday to four
years in prison.
Andrew Thomas Brown, 63, was con-
victed in June of two counts each of felony
armed robbery and felony assault with a
deadly weapon, commercial burglary and
theft. On Thursday, he was sentenced to
four years incarceration
with credit of 160 days.
He must also pay $200
restitution to Safeway
for the purloined meat.
Brown stole the beef
March 30 from the store
in the Westlake
Shopping Center. Loss
prevention officers
reported seeing Brown
shove multiple packages of steaks into
his overalls before walking out of the
store. When two officers approached and
asked him to return to the store, Brown
reportedly admitted the stealing and pulled
the meat from his pants. When the officers
reiterated he must return to the store,
Brown pulled out a box cutter and waved it
at them before running away.
Daly City police were called and chased
Brown down after nearly a mile.

Funds added to college districts loan program
An additional $1 million in funding from the post-retire-
ment fund will go to the San Mateo County Community
College Districts Employee Second Loan Program, the
Board of Trustees decided Wednesday night.
The loan program is designed to help faculty and staff
make down payments on homes and be able to afford to pur-
chase homes in the Bay Area, Chancellor Ron Galatolo said.
The increase in funding comes with a recent increase in the
number of employees seeking to purchase a home.
The program offers a 10-year loan, with a maximum loan
amount of $50,000, interest and payment are free for ve
years and beginning in the sixth year, interest is calculated
at the district rate plus 2.5 percent for the term of the loan,
paid monthly.
To date, the district has made 21 loans; nine of which have
been paid back for a total return to the district of $95,798
which represents a 18.74 percent return on investment. The
districts portfolio of loans is currently valued at $775,577.
The districts loan program has been in place for the last
12 years.

Burglary suspects and their vehicle.

OAKLAND Despite broken earth-
quake-safety bolts that threatened
months of delays, California trans-
portation ofcials approved a plan
Thursday to open the new eastern span
of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay
Bridge around the Labor Day weekend as
originally planned.
The Toll Bridge Oversight Committee
voted unanimously at a public meeting
to approve a temporary x for the bolts
and open the span Sept. 3 instead of as
late as December.
The decision came days after federal
transportation ofcials signed off on
the temporary x. The plan calls for the
entire bridge to be closed Aug. 28 and to
reopen Sept. 3 using the sweeping new
$6.4 billion span instead of the exist-
ing, decades-old span that has remained
in use during construction.
That we can open the bridge sooner
than in December is a very welcomed
development, Steve Heminger, execu-
tive director of the Metropolitan
Transportation Commission and over-
sight committee chairman, said
moments before Thursdays vote.
Ofcials made the decision to close
the bridge on Labor Day weekend
because they believe trafc would be
lighter at that time than during other
weekends.
We had a lot of conicts no matter
where else we landed, Heminger said
about the timing.
Gov. Jerry Brown initially played
down worries about the broken bolts but
later expressed concerns, saying the
span was not going to open unless its
ready. On Thursday, Brown spokesman
Evan Westrup said the governor accept-
ed the committees decision.
Democratic state Sen. Mark
DeSaulnier, who has been critical about
delays, cost overruns and construction
to repair the bridge, said in a statement
that the old eastern span has not been
seismically safe since the Loma Prieta
earthquake in 1989.
The new span is 10 years late, and $5
billion over budget, said DeSaulnier,
chairman of the state Senate transporta-
tion committee. The commuters are the
ones who have paid for this project as it
has skyrocketed over budget, and they
have been left vulnerable each day spent
on the old span.
In a letter made public Tuesday,
Vincent Mammano of the Federal
Highway Administration told the bridge
committee that the agency was
impressed with the level of expertise
used to come up with the temporary x
and saw no reason to delay opening the
bridge to trafc before long-term repairs
are nished.

The San Mateo man accused of stab-
bing his mother late Monday after-
noon appeared in court yesterday for
the rst time since police reportedly
found him standing over the injured
woman.
John Jacobberger, 53, was charged
with attempted murder causing great
bodily injury on a woman over 70
years old, felony assault, felony phys-
ical elder abuse and, on all three
counts, the allegation he used a knife
in the Aug. 12 incident that sent his
76-year-old mother to the hospital.
Just before 4 p.m. Monday, police
said they found the woman on the oor
and Jacobberger
next to her on the
second floor of an
apartment complex
on the rst block of
West Fourth Avenue
in San Mateo.
The mother had
come to check on
Jacobberger and
spotted him inside
on a chair surround-
ed by knives. She asked him to grab
his backpack so they could go see his
doctor, said District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.
Jacobberger picked up a kitchen
knife and attempted to exit, overpow-
ering the woman as she pushed against
the screen door, and slashed at her,
Wagstaffe said.
She was stabbed once in the chest
and upper arm. When police arrived, he
reportedly dropped the knife and drift-
ed in and out of coherence. He also told
police I stabbed my mother, just
shoot me and Its the drugs that made
me do it, Wagstaffe said.
Jacobberger declined to enter a plea
at Thursday afternoons arraignment
and instead asked for a court-appointed
attorney. Both are due back in court
Aug. 19 and he remains in custody
without bail.
Jacobberger was charged with misde-
meanor drunk driving in the 1980s but
has no other criminal history in San
Mateo County, according to court
records. Jacobberger remains in custody.

Governor appoints seven
to senior administration posts
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown has named seven
people to senior posts within his administration, including
his rst appointment to the position of cabinet secretary,
which he had previously rejected.
Dana Williamson, a 41-year-old senior adviser to the gov-
ernor since 2011, was named cabinet secretary on Thursday.
The appointments also include two staff additions in
Browns ofce of communications, which has been short-
handed since the departures of two people last spring. He
also named a senior adviser for tribal negotiations,
Joginder Dhillon.
Brown rejected the cabinet secretary and chief of staff
positions upon retaking the governors ofce in 2011.
Senior adviser Nancy McFadden has been serving in that
role since last year. The appointments come just a year
before Brown faces re-election. The jobs each pay between
$98,000 and $160,000 annually.
State Senate votes to end loophole in old rape law
SACRAMENTO The state Senate unanimously
approved a bill on Thursday that would close a loophole in
California law that resulted in a rape conviction being over-
turned because the woman was not married.
The 2nd District Court of Appeal in January reversed the
conviction of Julio Morales for impersonating the
boyfriend of the woman.
The court ruled that a state law dating to the 1870s speci-
es that assailants are guilty in such cases only if a woman
is married and the perpetrator is pretending to be the spouse.
Defense attorneys said Morales thought the sex was con-
sensual because the woman didnt object to his advances
until she saw him in daylight.
Bill outlaws growing problem of revenge porn
SACRAMENTO The state Senate has approved a bill
outlawing so-called revenge porn, which lawmakers say
is an increasing problem on the Internet.
People who post identiable nude pictures of someone
else online without the victims permission, intending to
cause emotional distress or humiliation, could be charged
with a misdemeanor under the bill. The penalty is up to a
year in jail and a $1,000 ne.
Republican Sen. Anthony Cannella of Ceres says his
SB255 punishes those who exploit intimacy.
The Senate approved the bill 37-1 on Thursday, sending it
to the Assembly.
Democratic Sen. Leland Yee of San Francisco was the only
no vote. He and the American Civil Liberties Union are con-
cerned the bill could interfere with free speech rights.
Judge halts water releases for salmon
FRESNO AU.S. District judge in California has tem-
porarily halted the planned releases of water from a
Northern California reservoir to prevent a salmon kill in
the lower Klamath River.
The judge ordered the releases from the Trinity Reservoir
temporarily stopped until August 21.
The order comes after farmers in Californias San Joaquin
Valley sued the federal government over the releases, alleg-
ing they would be unlawful and would further decrease the lit-
tle water available to them for irrigation.

WASHINGTON Imagine a mini-
raccoon with a teddy bear face that is
so cute its hard to resist, let alone
overlook. But somehow science did
until now.
Researchers announced Thursday a
rare discovery of a new species of
mammal called the olinguito. The red-
dish-brown animal is about 14-inches
long with an equally long tail and
weighs about 2 pounds.
It belongs to a grouping of large
creatures that include dogs, cats and
bears.
The critter leaps through the trees of
mountainous forests of Ecuador and
Colombia at night, according to a
Smithsonian researcher who has spent
the past decade tracking them.
But the adorable olinguito (oh-lihn-
GEE-toe) shouldnt have been so hard
to nd. One of them once lived in the
Smithsonian-run National Zoo in
Washington for a year in a case of mis-
taken identity.
Its been kind of hiding in plain
sight for a long time despite its
extraordinary beauty, said Kristofer
Helgen, the Smithsonians curator of
mammals.
The little zoo critter, named Ringerl,
was mistaken for a sister species, the
olingo. Before she died in 1976,
Ringerl was shipped from zoo to zoo
in Louisville, Ky., Tucson, Ariz., Salt
Lake City, Washington and New York
City to try to get it to breed with other
olingos.
She wouldnt .
It turns out she wasnt fussy,
Helgen said. She wasnt the right
species.
The discovery is described in a study
in the journal ZooKey.
Helgen rst gured olinguitos were
different from olingos when he was
looking at pelts and skeletons in a
museum. He later led a team to South
America in 2006.

An artists composite of the Kepler telescope is seen in this undated NASA handout image.
By Marcia Dunn
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla NASA called
off all attempts to x its crippled Kepler
space telescope Thursday. But its not quite
ready to call it quits on the remarkable,
robotic planet hunter.
Ofcials said theyre looking at what sci-
ence, if any, might be salvaged by using the
broken spacecraft as is.
The $600 million Kepler mission has
been in trouble since May, unable to point
with precision at faraway stars in its quest
for other potential Earths. Thats when a
critical second wheel failed on the space-
craft. The rst of four gyroscope wheels
broke in 2012. At least three are needed for
precise pointing.
Since it rocketed into space in 2009,
Kepler has conrmed 135 exoplanets
planets outside our solar system. Its also
identied more than 3,500 candidate planets.
NASA expects to know by years end
whether the mission is salvageable. Kepler
is already on an extended quest; its prime, 3
1/2-year mission ended in November.
The spacecraft is 51 million miles from
Earth, orbiting the sun.
If nothing else, new discoveries are expect-
ed from data collected over the past four
years.
This is not the last youll hear from
Kepler, promised Paul Hertz, NASAs astro-
physics director.
Kepler has made extraordinary discoveries
in finding exoplanets, including several
super-Earths in the habitable zone, said
John Grunsfeld, a former astronaut who heads
NASAs science mission ofce.
CIA acknowledges Area 51
in declassified documents
LAS VEGAS The CIAis acknowledging
the existence of Area 51 in newly declassied
documents.
George Washington Universitys National
Security Archive obtained a CIA history of
the U-2 spy plane program through a public
records request and released it Thursday.
National Security Archive senior fellow
Jeffrey Richelson reviewed the history in
2002, but all mentions of Area 51 had been
redacted.
Richelson says he requested the history
again in 2005 and received a version a few
weeks ago with mentions of Area 51 restored.
Ofcials have already acknowledged in
passing the existence of the facility in cen-
tral Nevada where the government is believed
to test intelligence tools and weapons.

SACRAMENTO The state has failed to
properly monitor more than $7 billion in
voter-approved money for mental health
programs from Californias extra tax on
millionaires and cannot reassure the public
that it is going to help those most in need,
the state auditor reported Thursday.
California can offer little assurance that
the counties have effectively and appropri-
ately used the almost $7.4 billion, Auditor
Elaine Howle reported.
Howles review came in response to an
investigation last year by the Associated
Press that found tens of millions of dollars
raised under Proposition 63 have gone to
programs designed to help those who have
not been diagnosed with any mental illness.
Those so-called innovation programs
include yoga, gardening, art classes and
horseback riding.
Media reports have reected skepticism
about counties Innovation programs, some
of which include acupuncture and yoga, the
audit said. Assessing and reporting on pro-
gram effectiveness is therefore critical to
ensure that only effective programs are con-
tinued and that the taxpayers and the public
are assured that MHSA funds are put to the
best use.
Voters approved Proposition 63 in 2004,
creating a 1 percent tax on incomes of more
than $1 million to fund mental health pro-
grams. The money raised through the
Mental Health Services Act has created some
1,500 programs so far.
Audit shows that mental health
spending not properly tracked

LOS ANGELES California regulators
have launched an investigation into offshore
hydraulic fracturing after revelations that the
practice had quietly occurred off the coast for
the past two decades. The California Coastal
Commission promised to look into the
extent of so-called fracking in federal and
state waters and any potential risks.
We take our obligation to protect the
marine environment very seriously and were
going to be looking at this very carefully,
executive director Charles Lester said
Thursday during the commission meeting.
As a rst step, the coastal panel planned to
ask oil companies proposing new offshore
drilling jobs if they will be using fracking
and require them to submit an environmental
review. It will determine further action after
completing its fact-nding mission.
Arecent report by the Associated Press doc-
umented at least a dozen instances of fracking
since the late 1990s in the Santa Barbara
Channel, site of a disastrous 1969 oil plat-
form blowout that spurred the modern envi-
ronmental movement.

CAIRO Weeping relatives in
search of loved ones uncovered the
faces of the bloodied, unclaimed dead
in a Cairo mosque near the smoldering
epicenter of support for ousted
President Mohammed Morsi, as the
death toll soared past 600 Thursday
from Egypts deadliest day since the
Arab Spring began.
World condemnation widened for the
bloody crackdown on Morsis mostly
Islamist supporters, including an
angry response from President Barack
Obama, who canceled joint U.S.-
Egyptian military maneuvers.
Violence spread Thursday, with gov-
ernment buildings set are near the
pyramids, policemen gunned down and
scores of Christian churches attacked.
As turmoil engulfed the country, the
Interior Ministry authorized the use of
deadly force against protesters target-
ing police and state institutions.
The Muslim Brotherhood, trying to
regroup after the assault on their
encampments and the arrest of many of
their leaders, called for a mass rally on
Friday in a challenge to the govern-
ments declaration of a monthlong
state of emergency and a dusk-to-dawn
curfew.
At least 638 people were confirmed
killed and nearly 4,000 wounded in
the violence sparked when riot police
backed by armored vehicles, snipers
and bulldozers smashed the two sit-
ins in Cairo where Morsis supporters
had been camped out for six weeks to
demand his reinstatement. It was the
deadliest day by far since the 2011
popular uprising that overthrew auto-
cratic ruler Hosni Mubarak and
plunged the country into more than
two years of instability.
Also on Thursday, The United
Nations Security Council called on
both the Egyptian government and the
Muslim Brotherhood to exercise max-
imum restraint and end the violence
spreading across the country. Council
members called for national reconcili-
ation.
The Health Ministry said that 288 of
those killed were in the largest protest
camp in Cairos Nasr City district,
while 90 others were slain in a smaller
encampment at al-Nahda Square, near
Cairo University. Others died in clash-
es that broke out between Morsis sup-
porters and security forces or anti-
Morsi protesters elsewhere in the
Egyptian capital and other cities.
Mohammed Fathallah, the ministry
spokesman, said earlier that the blood-
soaked bodies lined up in the El Iman
mosque in Nasr City were not included
in the ofcial death toll. It was not
immediately clear if the new gures
included the ones at the mosque.

CHILMARK, Mass. President Barack Obama
scrapped plans for joint American-Egyptian military
exercises Thursday, announcing the rst concrete U.S.
reaction to the spiraling violence in and around Cairo but
stopping well short of withholding $1.3 billion in annu-
al American military aid.
The measured response underscored the Obama adminis-
trations concern that revoking nancial support could
further destabilize Egypt, the Arab worlds most populous
country and an important U.S. ally in a combustible
region. And it was unclear whether the cancellation of the
military exercises, known as Bright Star, would have any
impact in stemming the violence that threatens the inter-
im Egyptian governments promises of a political transi-
tion following the ouster of President Mohammed Morsi.
The president, speaking from his rented vacation home
on Marthas Vineyard, warned that continued ghting
would lead Egypt down a dangerous path, and he called
on both the government and protesters to show restraint.
He said that while close engagement with Egypt was in
U.S. national security interests, our traditional coopera-
tion cannot continue as usual when civilians are being
killed in the streets and rights are being rolled back.

MILLBRAE
Have you ever
attended a funeral
or memorial service
and felt ill-at-ease,
uncomfortable or
awkward when
talking to the family
of the deceased? Have you ever stumbled
through your words and condolences
because you just didnt know what to say or
how to say it? Have you even decided to not
approach the family for fear of saying the
wrong thing or making a fool of yourself? If
so you are not alone. Many people in this
situation want to provide some kind of
comfort to the immediate family, but just
dont have the verbal tools to do so in an
assuring manner.
Learning Funeral Etiquette can be
useful. Using the right words at the right
time is an appropriate way to show that you
care, and in situations like this can be of
great help when provided correctly.
Standard condolences such as I am sorry
for your loss have become routine and
generic. A personalized phrase can be
welcomed such as John touched many
lives or I will miss John. DO NOT ask
the cause of death, offer advice or make
comments that would diminish the
importance of the loss such as Oh, youre
young and can marry again.
Other ways to demonstrate your support
include: 1. Listening. The family may feel
the need to express their anxiety, and giving
them that opportunity can be therapeutic; 2.
An embrace. This can show that you care
without the need for words; 3. Offering your
services. This shows the family that you are
willing to give extra time for them: Please
let me know if there is anything I can do to
help (be prepared to act if needed).
Even if you dont feel confident in
approaching the family there are other ways
to show that you care: 1. Attending the
funeral and signing the Memorial Book will
show the family that you took the time to be
there in support; 2. Dressing appropriately
for the funeral will demonstrate your efforts
to prepare for this special occasion (dark
colors are no longer a requisite for funerals,
but dressing in a coat, tie, dress or other
attire that youd wear to any special event
are considered a way of showing you care);
3. In certain cases friends are invited to
stand up and offer BRIEF personal feelings.
Prior to the funeral write a few key notes
and reflections which will help you organize
your thoughts. Even if there is no
opportunity to speak before a group you
may have a chance to offer your thoughts to
the family following the ceremony; 4. A
personalized card or note will help you
arrange your words better and can be kept
by the family. If you dont have their
mailing address you can send your envelope
to the funeral home and they will forward it
to the next of kin; 5. Providing flowers is a
long time tradition, or making a charitable
donation in the deceaseds memory will give
the family a strong sense of your regards; 6.
If appropriate a brief phone call can show
your immediate concern, but generally this
should be avoided to give the family the
privacy they may need.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

BEIRUT Apowerful car bomb
tore through a bustling south
Beirut neighborhood that is a
stronghold of Hezbollah on
Thursday, killing at least 18 and
trapping dozens of others in an
inferno of burning cars and build-
ings in the bloodiest attack yet on
Lebanese civilians linked to
Syrias civil war.
The blast is the second in just
over a month to hit one of the
Shiite militant groups bastions of
support, and the deadliest in
decades. It raises the specter of a
sharply divided Lebanon being
pulled further into the conflict
next door, which is being fought
on increasingly sectarian lines
pitting Sunnis against Shiites.
Syria-based Sunni rebels and
militant Islamist groups ghting
to topple Syrias President Bashar
Assad have threatened to target
Hezbollah strongholds in
Lebanon in retaliation for inter-
vening on behalf of his regime in
the conict.
Thursdays explosion ripped
through a crowded, overwhelming-
ly Shiite area tightly controlled
by Hezbollah, turning streets
lined with vegetable markets, bak-
eries and shops into scenes of
destruction.
Dozens of ambulances rushed to
the site of the explosion and re-
ghters used cranes and ladders to
try to evacuate terried residents
from burning buildings. Some ed
to the rooftops of buildings and
civil defense workers were still
struggling to bring them down to
safety several hours after the
explosion.
U.N. chief deeply troubled
by Israeli settlements
RAMALLAH, West Bank
U.N. Secretary-General Ban-Ki
moon said Thursday that he is
deeply troubled by Israeli settle-
ment building and that it could
ultimately prevent the establish-
ment of a Palestinian state.
A day earlier, Israelis and
Palestinians had launched formal
talks on the terms of a Palestinian
state, ending a five-year freeze.
The talks were overshadowed by
recent Israeli announcements on
promoting plans for more than
3,000 new settlement apartments.
The Palestinians want a state in
the West Bank, Gaza and east
Jerusalem, captured by Israel in
1967. Israel has built dozens of
settlements there that are now
home to more than half a million
Israelis and are deemed illegal by
most of the international commu-
nity.

Eucalyptus trees on El Camino
Editor,
I must admit that the eucalyptus trees
along El Camino Real are still there
(ECR project faces tree concern in
the Aug. 13 edition of the Daily
Journal). Eucalyptus trees can be dan-
gerous trees. They grow fast and the
wood is brittle. They have a habit of
dropping branches. Not twigs, but
major limbs. Do we have to wait for a
branch to fall on a car and injure or kill
someone?
Palo Alto has started removing large
eucalyptus trees next to sidewalks for
just this reason.
Yes, the trees add character to El
Camino Real, but are they worth risk-
ing life and limb over?

Masks and the presidency
Editor,
President Nixon was portrayed as
Tricky Dickey, complete with
Halloween rubber masks. President
Reagan was portrayed as a lovable
dunce falling asleep in meetings. There
are rubber masks of him, too. Cartoon
masks were made of both the Bush
presidents and cartoon images of them
appeared regularly. President Clinton
had rubber masks and he was portrayed
with his pants around his ankles. So
how come a rodeo clown wearing an
Obama mask is a big deal? It appears
this comes with the ofce of president.

The vision of Elon Musk
Editor,
Athinker like Tesla CEO Elon Musk
comes along once in a lifetime. He has
a bachelors degree in physics and
seems to have a gift for surrounding
himself with others who make dreams a
reality. We all would be wise to pay
more attention to a man who is current-
ly making a wonderful looking electric
car (for prot), sending rocket ships
into outer space (SpaceX) and putting
solar panels (SolarCity) on roofs.
There seems to be no limit to his capa-
bilities.
Now Elon Musk is addressing high-
speed rail. The proposed high-speed
rail in California has been a asco
from the beginning and is starting to
look as over budget as another circus
in California, the Bay Bridge. Yes,
Elons proposed $6 billion budget for
Hyperloop may be way off but is a far
cry less then the proposed ever rising
high-speed rail gure of $69 billion.
All the people on (and off) the
California High-Speed Rail Authority
owe it to California taxpayers to listen
to what Elon Musk has offered.
Amazingly enough, he is even willing
to put some of his own money into the
project.
Not too long ago we lost Steve Jobs,
a man who was another brilliant
thinker. While Elon Musk is with us,
we would be wise to listen to him
closely. California needs all the help it
can get.

Letters to the editor
Sacramento Bee
C
ivil libertarians and
Hollywood celebrities
recently signed a letter voic-
ing support for prisoners engaged in a
hunger strike over conditions in the
security housing unit at Pelican Bay
State Prison.
They ought to save their outrage.
Inmates fomenting the hunger
strike claim human rights are being
violated. But they include killers and
leaders of the most brutal gangs in the
prison system. They are from the
Aryan Brotherhood, Black Guerrilla
Family, Mexican Maa and Nuestra
Familia. One shot-caller was named as
an unindicted co-conspirator in feder-
al indictments returned last week in
Los Angeles seeking to disrupt
Mexican Maa operations.
Corrections Secretary Jeffrey Beard
told The Sacramento Bees editorial
board that the hunger strike has noth-
ing to do with conditions and every-
thing to do with gang leaders wanting
to get into the general population so
they can more readily conduct their
gang business. We see no reason to
gainsay his statement.
California prisons are monitored
closely by the federal courts, a court-
appointed special master, and a
receiver who oversees health care,
plus aggressive prisoner rights attor-
neys from the Prison Law Ofce in
Berkeley.
U.S. District Judge Thelton
Henderson of San Francisco and U.S.
District Judge Lawrence K. Karlton of
Sacramento have issued orders that
have forced California to spend bil-
lions to vastly improve health and
mental health care in the prisons. The
judges orders led to the U.S. Supreme
Court decision prompting the state to
reduce the number of inmates from
174,000 to 119,000.
There was a time when The Bees
editorial board urged strict oversight
of Pelican Bays security housing
unit, for good reason. In its rst years
of operation, there were instances of
terrible abuse by guards of inmates.
Health care clearly was inadequate,
and prison ofcials inhumanely
housed severely mentally ill prison-
ers in the units. Isolation exacerbated
their illness.
In 1990, the Prison Law Ofce led
a class-action lawsuit alleging that
conditions in the unit amounted to
cruel and unusual punishment. In
1995, Henderson issued a scathing
decision upholding much of what the
Prison Law Ofce sought and appoint-
ing a special master to oversee the
unit. The judge lifted that oversight in
2011, after becoming convinced that
the prison was adhering to his decree.
Henderson left unanswered the ques-
tion whether a decade or more in secu-
rity housing is so detrimental to
inmates mental health that it
amounts to cruel and unusual punish-
ment. The New York-based Center for
Constitutional Rights has raised that
claim in a suit on behalf of inmates
including the hunger strike leaders.
The matter is pending before U.S.
District Judge Claudia Wilken.
In the past, gangmembers could get
out of the units only by agreeing to
inform on their fellow gangsters,
which was tantamount to a death war-
rant for the informant. Prison of-
cials last year modied the policy and
now offer inmates ways to get out of
security housing units short of
informing on fellow gang leaders.
Beard made clear that he is trying to
move away from long-term segrega-
tion, while reserving long-term hous-
ing in the units for truly hard cases.
Security housing units are stark.
But its not as if they are rat-infested,
medieval holes. Many inmates have
cellmates and can talk through the
locked doors to their neighbors.
Pelican Bay inmates have televi-
sions, with 23 channels, including
the four broadcast networks, PBS,
BET and ESPN, plus educational and
self-help channels and Bible channels
in English and Spanish.
Security housing units are not coun-
try clubs. But inmates have to work to
get there. For the safety of other
inmates, thats where some of them
should remain. Celebrities such as
Peter Coyote, Jay Leno and Susan
Sarandon and civil libertarians dimin-
ish their credibility by embracing the
cause of gang leaders who masquerade
as human rights advocates.
Why are celebrities aiding prison gang leaders? Sacramento, celebrities
T
here have been a number of celebrity sightings in
Sacramento this week. Halle Berry and Jennifer
Garner were speaking in front of the Assembly
Judiciary Committee about a bill that would impose tougher
penalties for paparazzi who harass celebrities and their
children. And Jason Patric, of Lost Boys fame, also
spoke in front of that committee to testify for a bill
authored by state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-
San Mateo. That bill would allow cer-
tain sperm donors to seek paternity
rights in court if they prove levels of
involvement in the childs life.
The paparazzi bill passed out of the
committee while the sperm donor bill
was put on hold. However, Hill said
its a good bill and he will continue to
work on it.
So does having the attention that
comes with celebrities help or hurt?
Hill said it helped in the case of the
paparazzi bill because Berrys and Garners presence
humanized them, and made the issue seem more real. For his
bill, Hill said the attention hurt because it sailed through
the Senate with nary a peep and only got attention because
of Patrics custody battle with his former girlfriend, who
Hill also said mounted a fairly substantial public relations
campaign.
It was just a Hollywood media frenzy, Hill said.
In the end, Hill said it is still a good bill because it sim-
ply provides the right for someone to take their case to
court and allow for a judge to decide. In this age of sperm
donors and surrogates, getting a handle on parental rights
is certainly warranted at the state legislative level. Perhaps
as the Patric paternity battle is removed from the equation,
there can be a more contemplative discussion of it.
***
Hill is also making waves in his proposed legislation
that would curtail the ability of nonprots to mount politi-
cal campaigns with public money. On the surface, it sounds
fair. However, the League of California Cities has mounted
a substantial campaign against the gut-and-amend bill
since it would hinder its ability to ght state policy that
harms cities budgets. In years past, the league lobbied for
state propositions that would ensure cities retained tax
money they believed to rightfully theirs. Cities pay mem-
bership fees to the league, and the league advocates for
cities. Much of that activity centers around ensuring that
the state government keeps its hands off local money.
Taking away that right is bad policy. And Hill should know
that after cutting his political teeth on the San Mateo
County Board of Supervisors, and the San Mateo City
Council before that.
***
Speaking of Hills former stomping grounds, the deci-
sion by Brandt Grotte not to run for a third term on the San
Mateo City Council took many by surprise, though there
were grumblings about the possibility for the past few
months. Grotte has been a quiet councilman but he does his
homework and cares about the city. The rst time I met
Grotte in person was at a neighborhood meeting at the
Boys & Girls Club in the North Shoreview neighborhood.
At issue was the Federal Emergency Management Agencys
decision to put thousands of Bayfront residents on a ood
map which came with the requirement of costly new insur-
ance. Grotte was president of the United Homeowners
Association at the time and was ghting hard to right this
wrong and I had talked to him over the phone for a previous
story on the issue. The rst thing he said to me was, I
know you. You quoted me accurately. Little things like that
carry a long time.
Through Grottes dedication and that of the city includ-
ing Public Works Director Larry Patterson those homes
were eventually taken off the ood map.

Circling back to celebrities, the San Mateo County
Democratic Party is hosting a celebrity chef barbecue noon
to 4 p.m. Aug. 24 at San Mateos Central Park. So who are
the celebrity chefs? Bobby Flay? Tyler Florence? Guy
Fieri? Nope. Hill, state Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco,
Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, D-South San Francisco,
Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo Park, and Joe Ross,
San Mateo County Community College District trustee.
Notable? Sure. Celebrity? That might be a stretch.

If you want to see a true celebrity, no need to look further
than the Redwood City Community Theatres performance
of Hairspray opening tonight at Sequoia High Schools
Carrington Hall. Its one of those stories that was a movie,
made into a play, then made into a movie, then made into a
play. Playing Tracy Turnblads mother Edna (portrayed in
the original movie by the cross-dressing Divine) is Steve
Penna, publisher of Redwood Citys Spectrum Magazine.
Admission ranges from $10-$25. And Pennas performance
should be worth the price of admission alone. For more
information about the play, the theater company and per-
formances, go to rwctheatre.org.

Big movers
By Matthew Craft
NEWYORK Grim sales forecasts
from two major companies and con-
cern that the Federal Reserve will soon
start withdrawing its support for the
economy pummeled the stock market
Thursday.
The Dow Jones industrial average
slumped 225 points, its worst day in
nearly two months. Investors also
dumped bonds, driving the yield on the
10-year Treasury note to its highest
level in more than two years.
Before the start of trading, Wal-Mart
cut its estimates for annual revenue and
prot, warning that cautious shoppers
are spending less. The news followed a
disappointing revenue forecast from
Cisco Systems late Wednesday.
In a twist, more signs of resilience
in the U.S. economy weighed on the
stock market. Reports on ination and
the job market appeared to raise the
odds that the Fed would begin winding
down its massive bond-buying pro-
gram as early as next month. Many
investors think that the Feds effort
has underpinned the stock markets
record run.
People are worried that this move
up in interest rates will kill the recov-
ery, and we wont see the anticipated
second-half improvement in growth
and corporate earnings, said Alec
Young, global equity strategist at S&P
Capital IQ.
The Standard & Poors 500 index fell
24.07 points, or 1.4 percent, to
1,661.32. The selling swept across all
10 industry groups in the index.
The Dow lost 225.47 points, or 1.5
percent, to 15,112.19. The Nasdaq
composite index fell 63.16 points, or
1.7 percent, to 3,606.12.
Some investors cautioned against
reading too much into Thursdays drop.
It seems like an overreaction
today, said Randy Frederick, manag-
ing director of active trading and deriv-
atives at the Schwab Center for
Financial Research. Corporate earn-
ings are solid and the economy is
improving, he noted.
The stock market hit an all- time
high two weeks ago. The Dow is still
up 15 percent in 2013; the S&P 500 up
16 percent.
The government reported that the
number of Americans applying for
unemployment benefits dropped to
320,000 last week. Thats the lowest
level since October 2007, two months
before the start of the Great Recession.
A slowly improving economy
should eventually lead to higher
spending and more sales for big com-
panies. But thats down the road. Right
now, investors are more focused on the
Feds next move, said Natalie Trunow,
the chief investment ofcer at Calvert
Investments.
Theres this counter-intuitive reac-
tion to economic news, Trunow said.
Positive data comes out and markets
arent excited about it. They say, Uh-
oh, the stimulus will be removed.
Thursdays corporate news was
mostly negative. Wal-Mart fell $1.99,
or 3 percent, to $74.41 after the
worlds largest retailer cut its prot and
revenue forecasts for 2013. It also
reported second-quarter results that
missed Wall Streets estimates.
Cisco Systems announced plans to
cut 5 percent of its workforce, roughly
4,000 employees, as sales slow. CEO
John Chambers called the global econ-
omy challenging and inconsistent.
Cisco plunged $1.89, or 7 percent, to
$24.48, the biggest drop of the 30 big
companies in the Dow.
Ciscos announcement led to selling
in other technology stocks because
the company is widely regarded as a
bellwether for the industry. Cisco sells
a wide range of products to corpora-
tions and governments and its scal
quarters end a month later than most
major technology companies.
Warnings of slower sales drivestocks down
People are worried that this move
up in interest rates will kill the recovery,
and we wont see the anticipated second-half
improvement in growth and corporate earnings.

Facebook to test mobile payments service
NEWYORK Facebook plans to test a mobile pay-
ments service that lets users make purchases inside
mobile applications using payment information they
have added to their account on the social network.
Facebook Inc. said Thursday that it is working on a
very small test and the company says there is no set
schedule for making the service available to users. The
service would use payment information that shoppers
store on Facebook to automatically complete checkout
forms of certain mobile apps. Then, the app would
process the purchase.
Spokeswoman Tera Randall said in an e-mailed state-
ment that Facebook has a great relationship with
PayPal, and this product is simply to test how we can
help our app partners provide a more simple commerce
experience.
Wal-Mart cuts profit
outlook on shopper worries
NEW YORK Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the worlds
biggest retailer, said the weak global economy contin-
ues to batter its low-income shoppers.
The chain on Thursday cut its annual prot and rev-
enue outlook for the year after reporting second-quarter
results that missed Wall Street estimates. The compa-
nys stock fell nearly 3 percent on the news.
Wal-Marts sober assessment adds to worries about
consumer spending that arose when Macys Inc. lowered
its prot expectations for the year after reporting disap-
pointing results on Thursday and Kohls Corp. did the
same on the following day even after posting solid
results.
Business briefs

CHICAGO With the new health
laws enrollment period set to open in
just a little more than six weeks,
President Barack Obamas administra-
tion announced $67 million in awards
Thursday to organizations that will
help people understand their new insur-
ance opportunities and get signed up.
Health and Human Services Secretary
Kathleen Sebelius announced the
Navigator grant awards to 105 groups
in states where the federal government
will run online insurance market-
places. Sebelius said consumers are
hungry for information.
These navigators will help con-
sumers apply for coverage, answer
questions about coverage options and
help them make informed decisions
about which option is best for them,
Sebelius said from Tampa, Fla., during
on a conference call with reporters.
Ideally, navigators will use a variety
of math and logic skills to walk people
through the somewhat confusing
process of buying insurance. For
example, navigators will help people
estimate their family income for 2014,
important in determining eligibility
for federal tax credits to help pay the
cost of coverage.
Navigators may need to answer ques-
tions about family size, such as: Do
you count the kids if they are claimed
on an ex-spouses income tax? And,
they will need to be able to explain the
differences between the bronze, silver,
gold and platinum insurance policies
offered on the marketplaces.
Navigator groups get $67M to sign up uninsured
By Christopher S. Rugaber
and Anne DInnocenzio
WASHINGTON Bleaker outlooks at
retailers like Wal-Mart and Macys are
raising doubts that consumers will
spend enough in coming months to lift
the still-subpar U.S. economy.
Though the economy is growing
steadily, Americans are being hampered
by weak pay, higher taxes and tepid hir-
ing. Sluggish overseas economies are
also slowing sales for U.S. retailers. Its
a picture the Federal Reserve will weigh
in deciding whether to scale back its
bond purchases as soon as next month.
Consumers arent going to start
spending with abandon until we see
much stronger job and wage growth,
says Mark Vitner, an economist at Wells
Fargo.
Average weekly paychecks have
grown just 1.3 percent since the reces-
sion ended more than four years ago.
Over the past 12 months, pay has trailed
even low ination. Thats partly why
spending has remained lackluster and
why many Americans may be postpon-
ing purchases at department stores so
they can buy cars, homes and other cost-
ly necessities.
Americans increased their spending at
an annual rate of just 1.8 percent in the
April-June quarter down from a 2.3
percent rate in the January-March peri-
od. Consumer spending is expected to
improve in the second half of the year.
But most economists foresee only a
slight acceleration to an annual rate of 2
percent to 2.5 percent.
Those spending rates are historically
weak. And theyre too meager to signif-
icantly boost the economy, which grew
at an annual rate of just 1.4 percent in
the rst half of the year. Consumer
spending fuels about 70 percent of the
U.S. economy.
For much of this year, many
Americans have made major purchases
that they had postponed during the
recession and the weak recovery. Auto
and home sales have strengthened. Yet
thats left less spending money for dis-
cretionary purchases such as electronic
goods, clothes and eating out.
Consumers are very much need-
based, said Ken Perkins, president of
RetailMetrics, a retail research rm. If
theyre buying a new car, that leaves
less money for a childs wardrobe.
That trend has weakened the sales and
prots of retailers like Macys. On
Wednesday, Macys reported a disap-
pointing prot for its second quarter and
cut its outlook for the year.
Tepid retail sales raise economy doubts

Italian skipper says Americas Cup champ cheated
By Bernie Wilson
Skipper Max Sirena of Italys Luna Rossa
is the latest Americas Cup competitor to
accuse defending champion Oracle Team
USA of cheating in what potentially could
be one of the biggest scandals in the regat-
tas 162-year history.
For sure, Sirena said when asked
Thursday at a news conference in San
Francisco if he thought Oracle cheated
Oracle last week acknowledged it modied
its boats without permission of the
Measurement Committee for four Americas
Cup World Series regattas last year, which
were warm-ups to the 34th Americas Cup.
Oracles admission prompted Grant
Dalton, the managing director of Emirates
Team New Zealand, to say on Tuesday that
he thought the American syndicate was
cheating.

to the preseason.
Neither does Jenkins.
The teams 2012 first-round draft
pick has impressed teammates and
coaches alike with his hard work and
big-play potential this summer. But
after an unproductive rookie season,
there are immediate expectations for
Jenkins to start delivering in games.
He didnt in San Franciscos exhibi-
tion opener last week against Denver,
when Jenkins lost a fumble after his
only reception. Jenkins and the 49ers
are looking for better results when the
team travels to Kansas City for
Fridays game against the Chiefs.
Jenkins is aware he has yet to live up
to his draft status. But thats not mak-
ing him any more anxious for his next
test against the Chiefs.
I dont feel no pressure, Jenkins
said Thursday. I just go out there and
play football. Right now, Im just try-
ing to play my best football. Im not
worried about all that other stuff. Just
keep working hard and keep trying to
make plays for this team, and every-
thing else will take care of itself.

Sanchezs 3-run
homer leads to
a Giant victory
By Brian McNally
WASHINGTON Pinch-hitter Hector
Sanchez hit a three-run homer with two outs
in the ninth inning, helping the San
Francisco Giants beat the Washington
Nationals 4-3 on
Thursday.
Down to his last
strike, Sanchez connect-
ed off Nationals closer
Rafael Soriano (2-3) on a
full-count pitch. The
drive landed just inside
the right eld foul pole
in the second deck.
Sergio Romo worked a
scoreless bottom half for his 29th save.
Javier Lopez (2-2) pitched 1 2-3 scoreless
innings of relief to earn the win.
The loss snapped Washingtons ve-game
winning streak and spoiled Dan Harens six-
inning, one-run effort.
Ian Desmond doubled home two runs and
Jayson Werth added two hits for the
Nationals.
Brandon Belt homered for the Giants and
extended his hitting streak to 10 games.
Ryan Vogelsong allowed three runs in the
third inning, all with two outs. San
Francisco snapped a three-game losing
streak.
Since coming off the 15-day disabled list
on July 8, Haren has a 3.20 ERA in seven
starts.
Vogelsong labored during a 39-pitch third
inning. Desmonds double into the gap in
left-center drove home both Denard Span
and Werth.
Adam LaRoche then followed with an RBI
single to score Desmond and put the
Nationals up 3-0.
In the seventh inning, LaRoches line
drive struck Giants reliever Sandy Rosario
in the chest. Rosario immediately left the
game and was replaced by Lopez.
San Franciscos struggling offense did lit-
tle against Haren, who during one stretch
allowed just two runners to reach base out of
14 batters. One of those runners came via
error and was erased by a double play.
Belt snapped that stretch with a solo
home run in the sixth inning to cut the
decit to 3-1. But Haren escaped the inning

NEW YORK U.S. Open rain delays at
Arthur Ashe Stadium will be no more by
2017.
The Grand Slam tournaments center court
could be covered by a retractable roof as
soon as the 2016 tournament, but more
likely the following year, U.S. Tennis
Association ofcials said Thursday.
As the mens nal was delayed to Monday
each of the last ve years, they had insisted
a roof wasnt yet feasible nancially or
structurally. Adecade after the USTAstarted
studying the issue and three years after
architectural rm Rossetti began research-
ing the project, the price tag and the tech-
nology are nally workable. The construc-
tion will cost about $100 million, down
from earlier projections of $200 million.
The U.S. Open becomes the last of the
four major tournaments to cover up. The
main stadiums at Wimbledon and the
Australian Open already have roofs, and the
French Open is planning one.
The Ashe roof is part of a $550 million
project that also will rebuild and expand
other courts at the Billie Jean King
National Tennis Center. No. 2 stadium
Louis Armstrong will eventually be cov-
ered, too.
The Grandstand, the third-largest court,
will move to the opposite corner of the
complex, with capacity increased from
6,000 to 8,000 fans. Armstrong, which cur-
rently seats 10,000, will be replaced with a
larger version that can hold 15,000. The
construction will allow for more and
improved concessions than the two 50-
year-old stadiums currently support.
Someday the Grandstand will probably
have a roof, too.
New tournament and practice courts with
additional seating also will be built so more
fans can see the players in action; they
could be complete as soon as next years
Open. As of now, only a few dozen specta-
tors can squeeze in a view of the practice
courts through a fence.
Walkways will be widened and esplanades
created in an attempt to reduce the bottle-
necks that frequently pile up between the
main entrance and Ashe. The tennis centers
capacity for each day session will increase
from 40,000 to 50,000 people.
The new Grandstand is scheduled to open
by the 2016 Open and Armstrong by 18.
Fans will see some of the work in process;
temporary bleachers likely will be used
around the new Armstrong court at the mid-
point of the two-year project.
The USTA must still receive final
approvals from the city for the plans.
The organization had commissioned three
different studies over the years that deter-
mined a roof wasnt feasible. The last time
the USTA made a request for proposals, in
2009, it did not select Rossetti, the original
architect for Ashe.
The rm took it rather personally, said
Danny Zausner, the tennis centers chief
operating ofcer.
Behind the scenes, they worked on the
project for free for a year to try to come up
with a concept that no one else thought of,
he said.
When Rossetti presented its ndings to
USTAofcials in 2010, they were intrigued.
Still, the rm was a long way from solving
the riddle of topping Ashe.
As USTAexecutive director Gordon Smith
put it: It wasnt built for a roof, and the
land conditions around it on the site are
abysmal.
We had to nd out how to support 5,000
tons of steel on soil that is mush, said
Matt Rossetti, the rms head.
Using lighter materials atop the stadium
was considered, but that proved unwork-
able. The USTAwas willing to remove some
seats, though not the entire upper bowl.
Technology innovations over the years
helped in making what was once impossi-
ble possible, Rossetti said in particular,
computer modeling. But about 80 percent of
the shift simply came from the painstak-
ing, time-consuming process of delving
into different options.
A big breakthrough occurred just six
months ago, when the rm surmised that the
roof could be supported by only eight
columns. At one point, the prediction was
32 and there wasnt space for that at the
tennis center.
It was only two months ago that Rossetti
determined the eight columns would actual-
ly work.

Oracle Team USA is owned by software
billionaire Larry Ellison, the CEO of
Oracle Corp.
An international jury is investigating
and can sanction Oracle, including a fine,
forfeiture of races or disqualification from
the Americas Cup.
Its unclear whether the jury would take
the drastic step of disqualifying Oracle.
The forfeiture of any races in the best-of-
17 Americas Cup match, especially if its
opponent is powerhouse Emirates Team
New Zealand, would certainly hurt Oracle in
its quest to defend the oldest trophy in
international sports.
Asked if Oracle cheated, Sirena said: For
sure. I mean its pretty obvious what
theyve done, which is pretty bad for our
sport. I think it was really I dont know
if its the right word unrespectful for all
of us, for all of the competitors. But maybe
that is that way to work. So you have to
ask them if they feel happy how they man-
age all the 45 event.
The illegal modifications were made to
Oracles 45-foot catamarans, which were
prototypes for the high-performance, 72-
foot catamarans being sailed this summer
on San Francisco Bay.
Asked if it would make them more moti-
vated to beat Oracle if they made it to the
Americas Cup match, Sirena said: Yes. It
will be great to beat them and to take the
Cup back to the real world.
Luna Rossa faces Emirates Team New
Zealand in the best-of-13 Louis Vuitton
Cup final starting Saturday. The winner
advances to face Oracle Team USA in the
34th Americas Cup starting Sept. 7.
Luna Rossa is a decided underdog to the
Kiwis, who were 5-0 against the Italians in
the round-robins, including a race Luna
Rossa boycotted over a rules spat.
Sirena was with Oracle in 2010, in
charge of the radical wing sail that helped
propel the San Francisco-based syndicate
to a two-race sweep of Alinghi of
Switzerland off Valencia, Spain.
Sirena was angered earlier this summer
when Russell Coutts, the most dominant
skipper in Americas Cup history and the
CEO of Oracle Team USA, called the
Italians a bunch of spoiled rich kids
dressed in Prada gear after Sirena threat-
ened to skip the opening race of the Louis
Vuitton Cup round-robins due to the rules
spat.
The Italians, backed by the Prada fashion
house, indeed boycotted, and the Kiwis
sailed around the course alone to collect
the regattas first point.
The Jury is investigating Oracle Team
USA under Rule 69 of the Racing Rules of
Sailing, Americas Cup Edition, and
Protocol Article 60. Rule 69 deals with
gross misconduct capable of bringing the
sport into disrepute. Protocol article 60 is
aimed at protecting the reputation of the
Americas Cup by prohibiting conduct that
is prejudicial and detrimental to the regatta
and the sport of sailing.
The jury could act against individual
employees or against the syndicate itself.
Coutts admitted last week that someone
with the syndicate illegally placed weights
in the bows of three 45-foot catamarans
without the knowledge of management.
One of the boats was loaned to Olympic
star Ben Ainslie, who is sailing with
Oracle Team USA this summer in hopes of
launching a British challenge for the 35th
Americas Cup.
Coutts said it was a ridiculous mistake
because the weights didnt affect the per-
formance. Oracle forfeited its results from
the four ACWS regattas in question, and its
two overall season championships.
In December 2011, the International
Sailing Federation found Ainslie guilty of
gross misconduct at the Finn class world
championships after he grappled with a
cameraman on a media boat. He was dis-
qualified from two races, costing him a
chance to medal. The governing body
decided against further punishment, which
could have included barring him from sail-
ing in the London Olympics. Ainslie went
on to win his fourth straight gold medal
and fifth Olympic medal overall, making
him the most successful sailor in games
history.
During the 2002-03 Americas Cup chal-
lenger series in Auckland, New Zealand,
Seattles OneWorld Challenge avoided dis-
qualification but was penalized a point
after a designer for the syndicate admitted
having a computer and computer disk con-
taining secret design information belong-
ing to Team New Zealand.
Regardless of how the jury rules, any
sanction against a team of Oracles stature
would be another stain on an already trou-
bled regatta.
Artemis Racing crewman Andrew Bart
Simpson, a two-time Olympic medalist
from Great Britain, was killed in a capsize
during a training run on San Francisco Bay
on May 9.
The 72-foot catamarans have been fast
and breathtaking while sailing against a
spectacular backdrop of the Golden Gate
Bridge, Alcatraz Island and the
Transamerica Pyramid. However, the regat-
ta failed to attract the number of chal-
lengers originally envisioned by Ellison,
which also drew criticism from Dalton.
Only three challengers entered the Louis
Vuitton Cup, and Artemis sailed just four
races. It was swept by Luna Rossa in the
semifinals.

MOSCOW The rainbow col-
ors two Swedish athletes painted
their fingernails in support of
gays and lesbians sent a clear mes-
sage and brought a swift rebuke
from a Russian star, perhaps even
a glimpse of whats to come at the
Sochi Olympics.
Speaking at the world champi-
onships, pole vault gold medalist
Yelena Isinbayeva condemned
homosexuality and criticized the
Swedes for their gesture critical of
Russias new anti-gay legislation.
The law, which bans gay propa-
ganda, has drawn sharp criticism
and led some Western activists to
call for a boycott of the Winter
Olympics in the Russian resort.
Isinbayeva won her third world
title Tuesday before a boisterous
home crowd, and drew even louder
cheers Thursday when she received
her gold medal. But before accept-
ing it, the woman who will serve
as mayor of one of the Sochi
Olympic villages spoke in favor
of the anti-gay stance.
If we allow to promote and do
all this stuff on the street, we are
very afraid about our nation
because we consider ourselves like
normal, standard people,
Isinbayeva, a two-time Olympic
champion, said in English.
Pole vault great condemns
homosexuality at worlds
By Pat Graham
MOSCOW For a lap, teenager
Mary Cain was right there, near the
front of the pack and on the heels
of teammate Jenny Simpson.
The 17-year-old youngest
ever in a 1,500-meter nal at the
world championships was
thinking big Thursday night.
A top-ve nish? Even bigger
than that.
Amedal? Bigger.
Cain really, really wanted that
stuffed animal organizers hand out
to the medalists. Thats the prize
she had her eye on.
Only she faded and faded as the
race went on, until she was running
last at one point. Cain rebounded
to nish 10th out of 12 runners in
a race won by Abeba Aregawi of
Sweden, with Simpson taking sec-
o n d .
Disappointment
for Cain,
though, soon
turned to anger,
before trans-
forming into
giddiness.
Hey, I got a
uniform out of
this, said Cain,
who nished in 4 minutes, 7.19
seconds nearly 5 seconds
behind the winner. So, Im
happy.
The performances of Cain and
others put the focus back on the
track following comments from
pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva.
The two-time Olympic champion
condemned homosexuality after
criticizing competitors who paint-
ed their ngernails in rainbow col-
ors to support gays and lesbians in
the face of a new anti-gay law in
Russia.
The backlash was almost
instant.
To say anyone is not deserving
of equality is just ludicrous to me,
said U.S. runner Nick Symmonds,
who second in the 800 and dedicat-
ed his medal to his gay and lesbian
friends. Thats why we have to
continue to demonstrate and to
speak out against the ignorance
that shes showing.
It was quite a bountiful medal
night for the Americans, with
Dalilah Muhammad and defending
champion Lashinda Demus nish-
ing 2-3 in a 400 hurdles race won
by Zuzana Hejnova in 52.83.
Michael Tinsley lost by a fraction
of a second in the mens 400 hur-
dles as Jehue Gordon outleaned him
at the nish in a world-leading
time of 47.69.
Teenager Cain shines at worlds
BALTIMORE, Ohio An
Ohio school district is refusing
to let a seventh-grade girl play
football, prompting requests
that the board change its poli-
cies on female athletes.
Makhaela Jenkins has played
youth football around Baltimore,
southeast of Columbus, but isnt
allowed on the active roster for
her school team because the dis-
trict doesnt allow girls to par-
ticipate in games and contact
drills.
Liberty Union-Thurston
District superintendent Paul
Mathews said the longstanding
policy doesnt violate any gen-
der-related regulations, because
the district offers girls other,
non-contact athletic options.
We are not violating Ti t l e
IX, Mathews told WTTE-TV i n
Columbus, referring to the feder-
al law that bans gender discrimi-
nation in federally funded school
programs, including sports. We
have opportunities for girls, but
those opportunities do not
include contact sports.
He said its the districts choice
to set which school sports are
available to girls.
We think we have plenty of
places for everyone to fit in, but
it is simply a choice, Mathews
said.

By Janie McCauley
OAKLAND Sonny Gray has been hear-
ing the comparisons since his high school
days in Tennessee. The references to Tim
Hudson, another right-hander with a slight
build and a big arm.
Fittingly, in the very ballpark where
Hudson shined as a member of Oaklands
Big Three beginning in the late 90s, Gray
dominated the Houston Astros with his fan-
tastic fastball and snapping curve on the
way to an impressive rst major league vic-
tory.
Gray struck out nine in his home debut,
and the Athletics used Nate Freimans two-
run homer and four RBIs to avert a three-
game sweep by the lowly Astros with a 5-0
victory on Thursday.
Ive been getting comparisons ever
since high school, the short righty, Gray
said with a grin. If you compare me to Tim
Hudson, hes one of my favorite pitchers,
one of the greatest pitchers.
Fellow rookie Freiman had a two-run dou-
ble in the rst, and then hit his third home
run in the third with a drive to the left-eld
stands. He nished with four hits.
Pretty special day for both those guys,
manager Bob Melvin said.
The 23-year-old Gray (1-1) allowed four
hits and walked one over eight innings,
throwing 118 pitches in
his second career start
and fourth big league
appearance. Like so
many other young pitch-
ers in the As organiza-
tion, the top prospect
has been on the fast track
to the majors since
Oakland drafted him in
the rst round at No. 18
overall in the 2011 amateur draft.
Melvin asked Gray after the seventh how
he felt, and the pitcher wanted to keep
going.
It was good for him to have the condence
in me to leave me out there, Gray said.
Its a difcult call for a skipper, especial-
ly when dealing with a young pitcher.
With any of our guys, when theyre get-
ting them out, theyre going to stay in,
As pitching coach Curt Young said.
Were never going to get crazy with the
pitch count. We thought it was doable and
he ended up finishing a great outing. Hes
just got nice composure in the two starts
that hes had. Nothing seems to bother
him.
Gray still had his best stuff in the late
innings. He retired leadoff man Robbie
Grossman on a called third strike in the
eighth, and then left to a warm ovation
from an announced crowd of 16,487 in his
first home start at the Oakland Coliseum.
Fans yelled, Come on, Sonny!
Dan Otero finished the five-hitter for
Oaklands 10th shutout.
Houston never found any kind of groove
against Gray.
He got us to expand the zone, manag-
er Bo Porter said. He pitched a tremen-
dous game.
Freiman added singles to his impressive
day in the fifth and seventh innings. He is
batting .315 (40 for 127) since May 1
after batting .148 in April.
Oakland jumped on Erik Bedard (3-9) in a
hurry. He dropped to 0-6 over eight starts
since a win against St. Louis on June 26.
For the As, a sweep by the Astros would
have been demoralizing. They already had
lost two in a row to Houston each by one
run, including in 11 innings Wednesday
ni ght .
Oakland pulled within 1 1/2 games of
idle first-place Texas in the AL West ,
avoiding falling three back for biggest
deficit since May 31.
After Chris Young beat out an infield
single leading off the bottom of the first,
Jed Lowrie hit an RBI double to stake Gray
to a quick lead. Lowrie was the designated
hitter rather than playing his usual short-
stop spot as he nurses a sore lower right
leg after being hit by a pitch Tuesday.
Freiman doubled three batters later to
make it 3-0. He faced Gray in the minors
last season and predicted big things.
It was awesome, Freiman said. We were
all, This guys good. Im not surprised.
Bedards day only got tougher. The lefty
allowed ve runs and seven hits in 4 2-3
innings. He is winless in his last three out-
ings against the As since a victory at
Oakland for Seattle on May 27, 2009.
Houstons Chris Carter hit a liner at ex-
As teammate and shortstop Eric Sogard in
the seventh and the barrel of Carters bat
broke off, sailed through the air and struck
Sogard in the left leg. He stayed in the
game.
NOTES: Melvin said he didnt intend to
get tossed Wednesday night, calling it one
of the most surprising ejections of his
career. He argued a close call at third in the
eighth inning of the 2-1, 11-inning loss.
While he has condence in his coaching
staff, Melvin said: I cant get thrown out of
that game. I feel bad. ... Everybody in the
dugout has a job to do, and I wasnt there to
do mine. ... As CF Coco Crisp will be re-
evaluated Friday to determine whether he
can play in the series opener with
Cleveland, which would be three days after
he received a cortisone shot in his ailing
left wrist. ... The As are 18-20 against the
division since May 10,
Gray helps As beat Astros with his fastball
As 5, Astros 0
Sonny Gray
without further damage. He threw 98 pitches
and gave up just one run on three hits with
two walks and three strikeouts.
Buster Posey led off the ninth with a sin-
gle against Soriano and Roger Kieschnick
drew a two-out walk. That set the stage for
Sanchez, who was pinch hitting for
Lopez.
NOTES: Giants manager Bruce Bochy
said CF Angel Pagan (hamstring), on the DL
since May 28, would begin a rehab assign-
ment Friday with San Franciscos rookie
afliate in Arizona. He is expected to play
three innings. . Washington agreed to terms
Thursday with international free agent 3B
Anderson Franco, 16, of the Dominican
Republic. . The Nationals recalled RHP
Drew Storen from Triple-A Syracuse and
optioned RHP Ryan Mattheus to Syracuse.
.Nationals C Wilson Ramos (strained ham-
string) missed his second straight game.
Washington manager Davey Johnson said
Ramos will return to the lineup Friday in
Atlanta. . The Nats begin a three-game
series with the NLEast-leading Braves. RHP
Taylor Jordan (1-3, 4.14) opposes LHPAlex
Wood (2-2, 2.78). . The Giants continue
their six-game road trip on Friday in Miami.
RHP Chad Gaudin (5-2, 2.42) faces Nathan
Evoldi (2-2, 2.82).

as a rookie, nishing the season with zero
receptions and dropping the only pass
thrown his way. Jenkins played in only
three games and was inactive for 11 others.
He has had good days and bad days during
training camp, but last weeks loss to the
Broncos wasnt among the best. Jenkins
played 39 snaps 11 more than any other
San Francisco receiver but failed to make
the most of the extended playing time.
Jenkins lost a fumble after his only recep-
tion, and was the intended receiver on both
of San Franciscos interceptions the only
two other passes thrown his way. He didnt
turn around to look for the football in time
on the rst pick, and on the second he didnt
go up in the air to ght for the football with
a safety on an overthrown pass.
A.J.s working hard, A.J.s out there
competing hard, offensive coordinator
Greg Roman said. He had a couple of plays
the other night that hed like to have back,
but he had some good plays. Were of the ilk
that you come in after a game, you learn
from it, you move on and you get better.
A.J. does a lot of really good things and hes
just got to continue to work and get better
day by day.
Next stop: Kansas City, where Roman
said Jenkins again is going to get a
healthy amount of reps.
The 49ers are anxious to speed along
Jenkins development because they need
him. Michael Crabtree, San Franciscos No.
1 wideout who had a career season last year,
is out until at least November with a torn
Achilles tendon. Mario Manningham, the
teams second-leading receiver last season,
has yet to practice this summer as he con-
tinues to recover from a December knee
injury.
With veteran Kyle Williams also coming
off a knee injury suffered late last season,
Jenkins is competing with several newcom-
er veterans to ll San Franciscos substan-
tial void at the position.
The 49ers acquired veteran Anquan Boldin
via trade during the offseason, and hes now
entrenched as San Franciscos top receiver.
But the team still is uncertain who will be
the other starter, or who will even ll the
other top receiving roles in the season
opener Sept. 8 against Green Bay.
San Francisco signed experienced veteran
free agents Austin Collie and Lavelle
Hawkins on Aug. 2 to compete for roster
berths. The 49ers started fourth-year veteran
Marlon Moore, also acquired during the off-
season, opposite Boldin against Denver.
That leaves a lot of opportunity for
Jenkins, and the 49ers remain condent he
will take advantage of it.
I really like A.J. Jenkins, tight end
Vernon Davis said. He has a lot of poten-
tial. Hes smooth, hes fast, and he wants to
succeed. Hes still learning the game, and it
will take time. Its just taking him a little
time, but he will get there. Hes denitely a
tremendous asset to this team, and I think he
will be prepared by the start of the season.

MLS GLANCE
By Brett Martel
METAIRIE, La. Dennis Allen didnt get
a chance to match wits against his former
boss when New Orleans visited Oakland last
season.
Sean Paytons season-long bounty sus-
pension wiped that out, so Allen will have
to settle for a preseason date Friday night
against the coach and franchise he helped to
win the Super Bowl title in the 2009 sea-
son.
Allen was a defensive assistant for
Paytons rst ve seasons in New Orleans.
He saw firsthand how
Payton arrived amid
Hurricane Katrinas dev-
astation and turned a
moribund franchise into
a playoff regular.
Seans a heck of a
football coach. Ive
learned a lot from him
just as far as how he han-
dles a football team,
what his demeanor is and the swagger that
he brings to his team, Allen said this week
as he prepared the Raiders for Friday nights
game in the Superdome. Youll see a differ-
ent New Orleans Saints
football team this year
with having him back.
Thats where I feel like,
in New Orleans, in those
ve years, thats where I
feel like I really grew up
as a football coach in the
National Football
League.
Itll be fun to go
back, Allen added. Itll be fun to get a
chance to see some of those guys. Ill get to
talk to Sean and bounce a few ideas off of
him and see what he has to say.
Allen also got to coach against Paytons
prolic offense in practice, working rst
with the defensive line and then with the
secondary before leaving to become
Denvers defensive coordinator for the
2011 season.
In terms of offensive play design and
play-calling, Allen sees Payton up there at
the top of the league. Thats for sure.
He said the Saints present a lot of chal-
lenges offensively in the way that they
match up their personnel, their tempo on
offense, the things that they do in the run-
ning game and in the passing game. So itll
be a great test for us.

CTS-V Wagon is rare and getting rarer
By Ann M. Job
The 2013 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon the
only V-8-powered station wagon factory
built in the United States is a rare blend
of awesome acceleration, luxury accou-
trements, sporty handling and station-
wagon functionality.
Its like having the cargo room of a com-
pact sport utility vehicle at the back of a
sporty luxury car except the luxury car
also has a great exhaust note and a super-
charged V-8 that generates 556 horsepower.
This combination isnt the only thing
that makes the CTS-VWagon rare.
Only about 1,200 have been sold since
the wagon debuted for the 2011 model year.
And with the introduction of the next-gener-
ation CTS later this year, Cadillac will stop
building the wagon version of its mid-size
CTS.
At that point, U.S. car buyers who want a
V-8-powered station wagon and admitted-
l y, there arent many will have only the
Mercedes-Benz E-Class wagon to meet their
needs.
To be sure, the CTS-VWagon can be cost-
ly to own.
Because of its gasoline mileage aver-
aging just 14 miles per gallon in combined
city/highway travel the CTS-V Wagon
incurs a federal gas guzzler tax of $1,300 or
$2,600 at the time of the cars purchase. The
tax differs, based on manual or automatic

DETROIT The U.S. government may
change the rules for the gas mileage esti-
mates that car buyers see on window stick-
ers after nding that fuel economy gures
for Fords C-Max gas-electric hybrid were
inated.
The Environmental Protection Agency,
which monitors mileage testing, said
Thursday that it will cut the C-Maxs com-
bined city-highway mileage estimate by
nearly 9 percent to 43 mpg, from 47. Ford
Motor Co. will change its window stickers
to reect the correct estimate and said that it
will compensate drivers for the difference.
C-Max buyers will get a $550 check,
while those who leased will receive $325.
The checks will be sent soon, the company
said.
Ford followed EPAtest procedures in cal-
culating the mileage and did nothing
wrong, said Christopher Grundler, the
agencys director of transportation and air
quality. The problem stemmed from agency
guidelines that allow automakers to test one
vehicle, then use its mileage estimates for
other car models that have the same
engines, transmissions and weight classi-
cations, he said.
However, the EPA discovered that a test
on one model may not be accurate for anoth-
er because cars are getting increasingly
more fuel-efcient. The agency may change
its guidelines, as a result.
The Ford case is the second in less than a
year where an automaker has cut mileage
estimates after an EPA investigation. In
November, the EPA found inated numbers
on 13 Hyundai and Kia models, affecting
900,000 vehicles.
Automakers follow EPA guidelines to do
their own mileage tests, which are moni-
tored by the agency. Experts say the Ford
and Hyundai-Kia cases are signs that the
EPAis getting more aggressive in verifying
those tests.
The EPA began investigating the C-Max
earlier this year after getting complaints
Ford to cut mileage estimates for C-Max hybrid

transmission.
The federal governments fuel economy ratings of only
12 mpg in city driving and 18 mpg on the highway for the
2013 CTS-V Wagon make it the worst gas guzzler among
station wagons sold here. Plus, pricier premium gasoline,
rather than regular, is required for the 18-gallon tank for
the 6.2-liter V-8.
Then theres the manufacturers suggested retail price,
including destination charge: $65,410 for the base, 2013
CTS-V Wagon with manual transmission. The lowest
starting retail price for a 2013 CTS-V Wagon with a six-
speed automatic is $66,710.
The prices compare to the $40,100 MSRP, including
destination charge, of the base, 2013 CTS Wagon with no
V and with 270-horsepower, direct-injection V-6 mated
to an automatic transmission. A mid-level, 2013 CTS
Wagon with 318-horsepower V-6 starts at $45,085.
The starting retail price for a 2014 Mercedes E63 AMG
Wagon with 577-horsepower, twin-turbo V-8 is more than
$92, 000.
The CTS-V Wagon is offered only in rear-wheel drive,
not with all-wheel drive. But it comes with standard fea-
tures that are often extras on other family- and cargo-haul-
ing vehicles.
For example, the power rear liftgate is standard as are
19-inch wheels, Bose surround sound, rear park assist,
rearview camera, rain-sensing wipers, navigation system
and leather-trimmed seats with sueded fabric inserts.
Ascreen that displays, among other things, the naviga-
tion system map rises from the top of the center of the
dashboard when in use and recedes out of sight into the
dashboard when not in use.
The 16-foot-long car appeared to be average size for a
sedan. In fact, the wagon had just 0.7 inch more bumper-
to-bumper length than the mid-size CTS sedan. The wagon
back end was integrated smartly into the design.
The test, all-black CTS-V Wagon looked both sleek and
sinister; there was no ignoring the dealer-installed black
chrome grille and its large air intake that feeds the big,
supercharged V-8.
Nor could anyone fail to hear the deep, throaty V-8.
One press on the accelerator pedal and the driver and
passengers were pushed forcefully back into their seats.
Power kept coming strong and steady and it made no
difference if this wagon was on a flat straightaway or
heading uphill.
Everyone felt exhilarated and some were a little wary
of all the power available and how quickly the peak
torque of 551 foot-pounds comes to bear at 3,800 rpm.
It certainly was challenging to stay within speed limits.
The CTS-V Wagon moved purposefully and with tight
body control on curves and in back-and-forth slalom
maneuvers. During an emergency change of lanes to avoid
an obstacle, the CTS-V Wagon moved confidently like a
slot car from one lane to the other and back again.
The CTS-VWagon has Cadillacs Magnetic Ride Control
technology that helps manage button-down handling
without a punishing ride.
Braking was impressive, too. The test car had optional
yellow-colored Brembo brake calipers that were visible at
the wheels. These brakes were sizable 15 inches in
front and nearly 15 inches in the back and provided
quick slowdowns and stops. Best of all, the brake pedal
had good, linear progression and did not feel overly grab-
by.
Some road noise from the 19-inch, performance tires
came into the interior. But sounds from nearby vehicles
were muted, and wind noise was never noticed.
With a car-like height of 4.8 feet, the CTS-V Wagon
doesnt afford views above traffic.
Front seats, in particular, can be easily adjustable to
make them comfortable for 5-foot-4 riders all the way up
to 6-foot-plus.
The back seat, whose seatbacks can fold flat to provide
nearly as much cargo space at the rear as a Nissan Murano,
has 36.1 inches of legroom, or 0.3 inch more than the E-
Class Wagon.
Standard safety features on the CTS-V Wagon include
traction control, electronic stability control, antilock
brakes and front, side and curtain air bags.
The CTS-V Wagon earned five out of five stars in side
crash tests by the federal government.

from customers that actual mileage fell
short of estimates. The initial estimates
were high, Grundler said, because Ford
tested the Fusion midsize hybrid, which
has the same power system, and applied
its mileage to the C-Max, he said.
However, the C-Max sits more
upright and has different wheels and
tires, so it doesnt slice through the
wind as well as the Fusion, Grundler
said. That caused the C-Max to show
lower mileage when tested on its own,
he said.
In the past, similar vehicles powered
by gas engines got similar mileage, so
using one test for a family of vehicles
worked well, Grundler said. But the sin-
gle test doesnt work for more efcient
models like hybrids, he said. Hybrids
get better mileage than gas engines by
using a combination of electric and gas
motors.
These differences are more pro-
nounced when you have a vehicle that
uses so little fuel, he said.
Ford product development chief Raj
Nair said the company is adding new
seals around the C-Maxs hood and new
deectors around its tires and lift gate to
cut wind
resist-
ance and raise gas mileage.
Ford has no plans to change
mileage labels on any other
hybrids, he said.
The EPA may revise regula-
tions for tests of similar vehicles
because automakers increasingly
are introducing more efcient power
systems in the same cars across the
globe, he said. The current regulations
were developed in 1977, and the EPAi s
asking for input before making
changes.
The EPAs tests still measure gas
mileage accurately, but the agency is
studying them to make sure they keep up
with fast-changing technology,
Grundler said, adding that tests during
the past six months show the window
labels are accurate. Most people are
getting the label values, he said.
Fords Nair said a test that measures
the amount of gasoline used per mile,
instead of one that shows the number of
miles a car can travel on a gallon, might
be more accurate. The EPA has been
receptive to the idea,
he said.
The C-Max,
which starts at
$25,200, went on
sale in October 2012.
Through July of this
year, the company had
sold a total of
36,349.
In the Hyundai-
Kia case, the
a u t o m a k e r s
acknowledged the problem, changed the
numbers and blamed a procedural error.
As compensation, the companies have
paid owners around $88 annually. The
EPA is still investigating the case and
may penalize the companies further.

Jobs aims to be the rst

Four superb actors, one skilled
director and one genius play-
wright add up to an unforgettable
experience as Berkeley
Repertory Theatre presents
Harold Pinters No Mans Land.
Guided by director Sean
Mathias, actors Ian McKellen,
Patrick Stewart, Billy Crudup and
Shuler Hensley successfully nav-
igate the ambiguities of Pinters
1975 play.
It opens as the impeccably tai-
lored Hirst (Stewart) serves a
drink to the rumpled Spooner
(McKellen ), who has apparently
been invited to Hirsts home after
running into him at a nearby pub.
When Hirst becomes stagger-
ingly drunk, his two manser-
vants, Foster (Crudup) and
Briggs (Hensley), assist him,
leaving Spooner locked in the
drawing room overnight.
As the two-act play progresses,
one cant be sure whats true and
what isnt. What is clear, howev-
er, is the subtle air of menace that
permeates the production, start-
ing with the foreboding original
music by sound designers Rob
Milburn and Michael Bodeen.
The manservants, Foster and
Briggs, are especially menacing
Foster because hes so slick
and Briggs because hes so big
and stolid.
Hirst and Spooner both claim
to be poets and may or may not
have known each other at
Oxford. In one scene, Hirst has
no idea who Spooner is, yet in
another he goes into great detail
about an affair he may have had
with Spooners late wife.
This subtle juggling for power
among the various characters is a
Pinter hallmark, along with the
ambiguities and menace.
Bay Area audiences last saw
McKellen as the title character in
a memorable production of
Shakespeares Richard III in
San Francisco.
Here hes a far different man,
apparently down on his luck and
seemingly unsure of himself as
he nervously shifts from one
foot to the other and holds his
coat throughout most of the play.
One would be hard-pressed to
say exactly what the play is
about or what actually happens,
but it doesnt matter because this
production conveys the subtexts
of Pinters writing, complete
with his trademark pauses. It also
mines the humor, relieving some
of the tension.
After it completes its limited
run in Berkeley, this production
will move to Broadway, where it
will be presented in rotating
repertory with Samuel Becketts
Waiting for Godot, also featur-
ing McKellen and Stewart.

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
The New York Cronut craze has hit the
Bay Area with San Francisco bakeries sell-
ing out recently as many locals order the
hyped-up hybrid croissant-meets-dough-
nut pastry by the dozen.
The croissant-doughnut creation was
born at Dominque Ansel Bakery in
Manhattan this spring and has since been
trademarked as its popularity soars and
pre-order lists grow.
The trendy treat has made its way west-
ward in the past few weeks, with down-
town San Francisco coffee shops offering
Cronut-inspired cronots made by Santa
Clara-based wholesaler Posh Bakery.
At Java Trading Co. at 100 Fifth St.,
owner Fi Li started ordering cronots from
Posh Bakery in early July on Fridays only.
Two weeks ago she decided to order them
every day as demand increased.
Usually people come in and want to buy
a dozen, she said.
She said during the morning rush they
often sell out, but as she has increased her
orders more customers purchase them up
until closing.
She said she first heard about the hype in
New York in late June and saw that Posh,
which delivers other baked goods to the
ground-floor shop at the San Francisco
Chronicle building, was offering the
cronot.
The sugary treats are $3 each and come
in flavors including chocolate, cinnamon,
glazed and strawberry. Many are filled
with custard.
One patron Thursday morning was try-
ing his first cronot and decided on choco-
late.
James Seraphine, who works at the
Chronicle, said he had heard about the
novelty breakfast item from friends in
New York.
After a few bites he said, its perfect, if
a bit decadent.
He said, Id get it again and was eager
to tell his East Coast friends that he had
tried the West Coast version.
At one of the several locations of Lees
Deli scattered throughout San Franciscos
Financial District had the Posh Bakery
cronots packaged in boxes lined along the
cash register at 615 Market St. yesterday
morning.
Owner Sterling Quan said his store goes
through four- to five-dozen cronots
throughout the day. They are $2.50 each.
He started selling them three weeks ago.
Its going pretty well, he said.
He orders the baked goods daily and he
said some days his location will sell out,
especially when he receives orders for 10
in one purchase.
He said certain croissant elements, such
as the multiple layers and that the treat is
flakier than a doughnut, adds to its pop-
ularity.
After Posh offered Lees locations to
sample the item, Quan said he wasnt
aware how big they were and then discov-
ered people were lining up in New York to
take a bite.
At his store, people are disappointed if
were sold out, so he has been upping his
orders each morning.
The Fillmore Bakeshop, located at 1890
Fillmore St., made a batch of their own
recipe for Kronuts last Saturday and quick-
ly sold out.
The bakers have decided to offer the cin-
namon-sugar covered pastries every
Saturday between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m.
On the bakerys Facebook page, the
owners posted after Saturdays inaugural
Kronut sale.
Kronuts were a huge success!! Thanks
for everyones patience, we can only fry
six at a time, but making them in such
small batches is what makes them so spe-
cial! they wrote.
At the original New York bakery, the
Dominque Ansel website has a Cronut
101 page with details about the pastry
that the bakery has dubbed the most viral
dessert item to date.

Picking up some fresh wines for summer
is in the bag or shopping cart, actually
as supermarkets get in touch with their
inner sommeliers.
Grocery store wine aisles that once
yielded row after row of generic bottles
now boast a wide selection of domestic
and imported wines, and some high-end
chains even sport a few out-of-the-way
finds. Picking up a rose for an after-
noon soiree or a crisp white for a warm
summer night has never been easier.
Weve gone from a reality where only
hugely distributed wines would ever show
up in the big chain supermarkets because
they were, frankly, too lazy and they did-
nt think there was enough demand to do
otherwise, says Alder Yarrow, founder and
editor of the widely read wine blog vinog-
raphy.com.
But with consumers getting more
sophisticated, Youre starting to see even
the bigger chains in states where theyre
able to sell wine beginning to stock more
than just what the massive distributors
will send them.
When choosi ng your summer si p,
think whites and roses with good acidi-
t y. My supermarket wines consist of
mout hwat eri ng, zi ppy wi nes, says
Joel Kampfe, wine director at ENO
Wine Bar in San Francisco.
Agood general choice is a New Zealand
sauvignon blanc. They are competitively
priced and just right for warmer days.
Kampfe also likes Edna Valley
Chardonnay, about $11. Always consis-
tent. Always delicious.
For Michael Taylor, wine director for
Del Friscos Double Eagle Steak House in
Chicago, summer wines are really all
about refreshment. You want something
crisp and light. Its also a good time to
think pink; hell be serving a Bodegas
Muga Rosado, a rose from Spains Rioja
region, by the glass at the restaurant this
summer. The wine is made with the red
grape tempranillo and retails for around
$11. Its not your moms white zin, says
Taylor. Its got a little bit of depth, a lit-
tle bit of richness to it.
Not everyone gets to pick up some mer-
lot along with the milk and eggs. There
still are a dozen or so states, including
New York, where the wine selection at
supermarkets is exactly zero thanks to
bans left over from Prohibition. Other
states have restrictions on when wine can
be sold, how much alcohol it can contain
and whether beer, wine and spirits can all
be sold along with groceries.

WEEKEND JOURNAL
22
the man behind the Mac.
Directed by Joshua Michael Stern (Swing
Vote), Jobs opens with the Apple chief
introducing the rst iPod in 2001. Then it
jumps back almost 30 years, when Jobs was
a scruffy, barefoot, Reed College dropout on
campus just for kicks. (James Woods
appears briefly as a concerned school
administrator, but is never seen again.)
Jobs hallucinates in a eld, travels to India,
and suddenly its 1976, and hes struggling
in his job at Atari. Prone to outbursts and,
apparently, body odor, he turns to his
friend, Steve Woz Wozniak (Josh Gad),
for help. Jobs discovers a computer proto-
type Woz built, and a few months later,
Apple Computers is born.
Gad is the heart of the lm. Though his
character, like the others, is weakly devel-
oped, Gads vulnerability as Wozniak makes
him the most relatable. Theres also heart in
the soundtrack, a romp through the 1960s
and 70s that includes songs by Cat Stevens,
Joe Walsh and Bob Dylan.
Jobs, on the other hand, could be a real
jerk. He dismisses his pregnant girlfriend
(Ahna OReilly) and denies paternity of
their daughter. He withholds stock benet s
from founding members of his team. If a
colleague doesnt share his vision, he res
them on the spot. Loudly. The one scene
where Jobs cries isnt enough to make you
like the guy.
After he and Woz make a deal with
investor Mike Markkula (Durmot
Mulroney), the lm spends a lot of time at
Apple headquarters, where Jobs is a hot-
tempered perfectionist. His insistence on
quality and innovation above all doesnt sit
well with board director Arthur Rock (a sadly
bland J.K. Simmons), who unites with
newly appointed CEO John Sculley
(Matthew Modine) to remove the company
co-founder from his post.
The decade the lm skips when an oust-
ed Jobs created his software company NeXT,
which he eventually sold to Apple seems
like a lost chapter that could have illuminat-
ed it subject. How does such a driven man
survive after being driven out? Instead, the
lm picks up in 1996, when Jobs inexplica-
bly has a new wife and young son; his now
college-age daughter snoozing on the liv-
ing-room couch. Hes lured back to Apple
and transforms it into the most protable
company in the world. (Thats not a spoiler,
its history you can check it on your
iPhone.)
And thats the problem with Jobs.
While its interesting to see the history of
Apple and how Jobs singular determination
was crucial to its success, the history of a
company isnt as compelling as the history
of a person, especially one as complex,
innovative and inuential as Steve Jobs.
Jobs, An Open Road Films release, is
rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture
Association of America for some drug con-
tent and brief strong language. Running
time: 127 minutes. Two and a half stars out
of four.
JOBS
thoughtful. Its the antithesis of his goof-
ball on-screen personas in TV series like
That 70s Show and Two and a Half Men
and in lms such as Dude, Wheres My
Car? and What Happens in Vegas.
For Kutcher, he says it was imperative
that he personify, not parody, the well-doc-
umented mannerisms of Jobs, who died in
2011 of pancreatic cancer and will also be
proled in an untitled Sony lm by Aaron
Sorkin. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak,
whos played by Josh Gad in Jobs, has
been hired as an adviser on the upcoming
Sorkin lm.
With Jobs, Kutcher hopes his perform-
ance is as much a lesson about entrepreneur-
ship to todays youth as it a prole of a man
who revolutionized technology.
AP: You dont paint a spotless por-
trai t of Steve Jobs i n thi s l m. How
did you balance playing a man thats
obvi ousl y an i con but al so has aws
l i ke everyone el se?
Kutcher: I think Steve cared about the
end result and wasnt worried about being
liked and knew he would eventually be liked
if his creations were properly executed. He
was very blunt, but its because he cared. I
tried to look at his faults as his gifts, and I
tried to understand it and not judge it. I think
the way that guy received love in life was by
creating products that people loved, and
when they loved the products, they thereby
loved him.
AP: How did you mentally prepare
for the scenes where Jobs goes i nt o
beast mode and hes yel l i ng and com-
bati ve?
Kutcher: He was never just senselessly
combative. I think there was something he
desired, and he had a goal and passion for
his consumers that were driving his frustra-
tion. He wanted the people around him to
care as much about the result as he did. I
think his frustration was in an effort to
motivate people to care.
AP: Why do you think now is the
right time for t hi s st ory? It i snt too
s oon?
Kutcher: As time passes, I think the
tales get taller. Hell become more gloried
for the things he did right, and more vilied
for the things he did wrong. We had a great
opportunity to tell a story about a guy with
an exponential amount of resources to
inform us about what really happened or
as close to what really happened as they can
recall.
AP: How do you feel about Steve
Wozni ak decl ari ng some scenes
werent accurate after he saw footage
of the l m?
Kutcher: Steve Wozniak is being paid by
another company to support their Steve
Jobs lm. Its personal for him, but its also
business. We have to keep that in mind. He
was also extremely unavailable to us when
producing this lm. Hes a brilliant man and
I respect his work, but he wasnt available
to us as a resource, so his account isnt
going to be our account because we dont
know exactly what it was. We did the best
job we could. Nobody really knows what
happened in the rooms.
KUTCHER
county that cannot manage its funds more
transparently.
Han also called Hills gut and amend
repurposing of a pharmaceutical advertis-
ing bill into a mechanism for jail nancing
as a secretive backdoor process whose
creative maneuvering shows just how des-
perate they are to get funding.
Hill, however, said the situation was a
perfect case for gut and amend because cir-
cumstances changed between the February
legislation deadline and now, particularly
after San Joaquin County returned $80 mil-
lion in jail money.
San Mateo County officials, and state
legislators like Hill on its behalf, have
struggled to receive state jail funding with-
out undesirable requirements for years both
before and after county supervisors
approved the 576-bed correctional facility
and spent $17 million for parcels on the
former Chemical Way.
The county received $100 million in
2008 from a new facilities bill aimed at eas-
ing prison overcrowding but passed on the
money because it refused the requirement to
house state inmates.
The state revamped its funding require-
ments and issued another round of grants
but San Mateo County was not even invited
to apply because other counties had larger
populations and inmate pools. A third
round excludes San Mateo County because
jail construction is already underway.
Its the wrong-headed approach. If
youre doing a good job you ought not to be
punished, Hill said.
The current law doesnt require counties
to show the state a need or available site
until 2017 which Hill said leaves money
collecting dust rather than being put to
good use.
Regardless of state funding, the county is
building a three-story hybrid jail topped by
40 feet of unnished space. The price tag is
estimated at roughly $165 million with
another $40 million annually in opera-
tions.
The hefty cost without benet of state
funding leaves Han hopeful supervisors
will throw in the towel and take a smaller
loss now rather than a bigger debt later.
Instead of spending millions on a local
jail, Han said the state can use that money
on services for all.
County Manager John Maltbie is expect-
ed to bring a jail nancial plan forward this
fall.

who served as the couples wedding party and
continue as godparents and friends, and
immeasurable memories.
On Friday night, this wide circle of former
employees and family will gather for one last
hurrah and reunion before Malibu Grand Prix
Family Entertainment Center calls it quits
Sunday after 35 years of operation.
Roughly two dozen have conrmed atten-
dance and Esplana said any and all are wel-
come to join for a nal ride on the bumper
boats, a round of miniature golf and some
friendly competition on the games. The night
might even end with dessert at Dennys on
Woodside Road, the place everybody headed
after their shift for a burger and before the
occasional TP expedition.
Rituals like that are among the memories
Esplana credits to Castle Golf & Games. News
of its end brought sadness.
I dont think people realize what they have
until its gone, he said.
Castle and Malibu were the place to be on
Friday and Saturday nights because downtown
Redwood City didnt have a lot else for those
generations, he said.
Sequoia High School football players came
in after their games still wearing jerseys and
every new video game drew players ready to
try it out.
It was the place to see and be seen,
Esplana said.
Esplanade, now 49, started his job there
after graduating from Serra High School in
June 1982 and before heading off to San
Francisco State University. The summer job
lasted until 1986 during which he moved from
behind the counter to shift supervisor and he
began building relationships that endure.
Jim Jensen was his buddy who got him the
job. Then there was Mike He was there all
the time. He was just a customer but he was
there so much I thought he was a manager,
Esplana said.
Mike would later be his best man and god-
parent to his two children. Alex Cabezon,
then 18 or 19, transferred up from Southern
California, narrowly escaping the hazing of
rookie employees by wearing a shirt bearing
the name of Showboat Golf and Games.
Cabezon, now 50, said the friendship was
near-instantaneous although he didnt neces-
sarily think it was going to be lifelong.
People have their jobs when growing up
and then you move on and you dont tend to
stay in touch, he said. And this was before
Facebook. If someone had told me back then
we would all stick together Id have said thats
not going to happen, Cabezon said.
Aweek into his job, Esplana met two soph-
omore girls whose friend Margaret would
work there too for a short spell and eventual-
ly become his wife.
Half the guys in my wedding came from
Castle, Esplanade said.
One of those people was Cabezon who also
had Esplana participate in his wedding the
previous year. When Cabezon was the rst of
the crew to have a child, everybody came.
They also come from Christmases, for par-
ties, for all types of get-togethers ever since.
Its like a family, Cabezon said.
As that generations children grew, several
expressed interest in working at Castle
although the change in age policy proved a
barrier. They also brought their families back
for fun.
Its a strange feeling having worked there
but it always brought back fond memories,
Cabezon said.
Castle also had batting cages for legions of
little leaguers and softball players looking to
polish their skills.
The Esplanas even used the race track to
teach their son to drive.
Margaret and I would wave from the bench
with every lap, he said.
But while the friends gathering Friday will
mark the end of Malibu, they are also cele-
brating their friendships beginning there at
Castle.
It all started that summer, Esplana said.
The group is meeting about 7:30 p.m.
Friday, Aug. 16 at Malibu Grand Prix, proba-
bly in the party room or dining area. The
address is 340 Blomquist St., in Redwood
City.

Alex Donn, head of the AT&TDevelopment
Program, organizes the hackathons and has
done 61 events to date. He has been hosting
the events since 2011 and said each has had a
different topic.
During the last year or two, the
hackathons have been becoming more popu-
lar, Donn said. Weve trailblazed these and
its awesome because what this event is at its
core is really an education event. Its corpora-
tions putting dollars back into the education
system and bringing in top developers to
speak to on technologies. Where else do you
get hand-holding?
Donn said ideas for products that could be
made at the event include recycling old
phones as monitoring and carbon detection
devices.
Judges from AT&Tand Intel will vote for the
best overall app, rst place gets $1,000, sec-
ond place receives $500 and third place gets
$200.
For best gaming app, rst place gets assis-
tance in completing your game from senior
architects at WildTanget and featured status in
the AT&TWildTanget Android store.
First and second place nishers also will
receive all-expense-paid trips to the National
Accelerator Demo in Las Vegas at CES Jan. 3-
5, where they will have the opportunity to
pitch their hack and compete for the $20,000
grand prize.
Judges from AT&T and Intel will give equal
weight to each entrants ability to articulate
what the app does, the originality of the idea
and the technical challenges confronted and
overcome.
The hackathons are competitive events and
designed for attendees, both technical and
non-technical, to build mobile apps, eat and
compete for prizes across various categories.
The events introduce coders to the latest cut-
ting-edge tools to help deploy their own apps
with website backends fully hosted in the
cloud, according to AT&T.
For more on the AT&T Developer program,
please visit developer.att.com. The Bay Area
hackathon will be held at NestGSV, located at
425 Broadway in Redwood City from Aug. 16-
17. RSVP is preferred, but not required.

BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding
on this property lien, you should under-
stand that there are risks involved in bid-
ding at a trustee auction. You will be bid-

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auc-
tion does not automatically entitle you to

You should also be aware that the lien
being auctioned off may be a junior lien.
If you are the highest bidder at the auc-
tion, you are or may be responsible for
paying off all liens senior to the lien be-
ing auctioned off, before you can receive
clear title to the property. You are en-
couraged to investigate the existence,
priority and size of outstanding liens that
may exist on this property by contacting
the county recorder's office or a title in-
surance company, either of which may
charge you a fee for this information. If
you consult either of these resources,
you should be aware that the same
lender may hold more than one mort-
gage or deed of trust on the property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The
sale date shown on this notice of sale
may be postponed one or more times by
the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a
court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the

and to the public, as a courtesy to those
not present at the sale. If you wish to
learn whether your sale date has been
postponed, and if applicable, the re-
scheduled time and date for the sale of

spaces. They are enjoyed not only by
the people who live in the areas, but
by people from all over the Bay Area
who come down for a trip to do some
ecotourism or to get out of the city and
enjoy open spaces, said Eric
Rutledge, administrative assistant to
the CSLT.
Half Moon Bay relies on the preser-
vation of its environment and the
tourism it attracts. Balancing land
developments with ecological conser-
vation is critical to ensuring healthy
economies along the San Mateo
County coastline.
Construction of the Ocean Shore
Railroad began in the early 1900s with
intentions of running from San
Francisco to Santa Cruz. But after the
1906 earthquake, development stopped
and the San Mateo County portion of
the tracks was divided up and used for
commercial, residential and agricultur-
al purposes, Rutledge said.
In 1997, a proposed condominium
development along a stretch of the
Ocean Shore Railroad inspired a group
of Half Moon Bay residents to form the
CSLT. By raising enough funds, the
nonprofit was able to purchase the
property for the city and created its rst
conservation easement, Rutledge said.
The CSLT adopts environmentally
valuable land, often near coastal bluffs
or river corridors suitable for endan-
gered species habitat. Although the
city or individuals legally own the
land, the CSLT assists in protecting it
from destructive developments,
Rutledge said.
As a conservation easement holder,
we monitor the property once a year.
We steward the property as best we can
and restore the property back to its
most natural state if it happens to be
disturbed, Rutledge said.
With increasing populations in the
Bay Area and San Mateo County,
coastal land faces continued pressure
for commercial and residential devel-
opments, Rutledge said. Bay Area resi-
dents are envisioning the coast as
more than just a nice place to visit,
theyre moving to these secluded
cities.
The Association of Bay Area
Governments projects that from the
years 2000 to 2020, Half Moon Bay
will face a 50 percent population
increase, more than any other city in
the area. The CSLTintends to safeguard
the valuable open spaces that encour-
age peoples admiration for coastal
life.
Patricia Chimienti moved to her Half
Moon Bay home 1989 and adores liv-
ing just feet from the beach. Wi t h
panoramic ocean views, front-row
seats to nightly sunsets and a friendly
community, Chimienti said whats not
to love? Being able to live a country
lifestyle while still remaining close to
the city makes Half Moon Bay her
ideal home, Chimienti said. Chimienti
grew more appreciative of the city and
the CSLTs efforts this week as she
overlooked the grazing goats and
sheep from her deck.
Im glad they didnt develop this
area. Im glad the city bought it and
theyre making it a fun effort to sup-
port it, Chimienti said.
The city of Half Moon Bay, San
Mateo County and the CSLT all make
use of the environmentally friendly
grazing technique.
Theyd like to bring the goats back
every year, but it can cost between
$3,000 and $6,000; so raising funds
from their supporters is crucial,
Rutledge said. Through the Get Your
Goat campaign, a $10 donation will
sponsor a goat or sheep.
On Saturday, the CSLT invites the
public to join them in nishing off
what the goats and sheep left behind.
Volunteers will gather on the corner of
Garcia and Potter avenues to pick up
trash and recyclables that were uncov-
ered by the animals grazing, remove
invasive plants and sow native wild-
ower and grass seeds into the area.
The CSLT runs primarily on individ-
ual donations and community support.
But it has received grants from the
state Coastal Conservancy and recent-
ly acquired 50 acres of land it plans on
protecting through conservation ease-
ments just south of the Seymour
Bridge in Half Moon Bay.
Ecotourism here on the coast is
huge and is very important. The reason
people are coming here is to enjoy the
open spaces, so its very logical that if
the open spaces werent here, they
would go somewhere else. If we can
permanently protect the land through
our conservation easements, then that
would continue to allow people to
visit and enjoy the coastside,
Rutledge said.
You can support the CSLT through
tax-deductible contributions, by vol-
unteering or by donating a car, RV,
boat, land or a conservation easement.

Report: NSA spying broke privacy rules many times
WASHINGTON The National Security Agency has bro-
ken privacy rules or overstepped its legal authority thou-
sands of times each year since Congress granted the agency
broad new powers in 2008, The Washington Post reported
Thursday.
Most of the infractions involve unauthorized surveillance
of Americans or foreign intelligence targets in the United
States, both of which are restricted by law and executive
order. They range from signicant violations of law to typo-
graphical errors that resulted in unintended interception of
U.S. emails and telephone calls, the Post said, citing an
internal audit and other top-secret documents provided it ear-
lier this summer from NSAleaker Edward Snowden, a former
systems analyst with the agency.
U.S. warns of rising threat in Iraq from al-Qaida
WASHINGTON Top U.S. and Iraqi diplomats warned
Thursday of a rising threat in Iraq from al-Qaida, which is car-
rying out suicide and car bombings with greater frequency
nearly two years after U.S. troops withdrew from the country.
Secretary of State John Kerry and Iraqi Foreign Minister
Hoshyar Zebari also discussed how to stop Iraqi airspace from
being used to ferry weapons and illicit cargo from Iran to the
embattled Syrian government and how to stem the ow of
weapons and extremist ghters into Iraq from neighboring
Syria.
