This years results of the Academic
Performance Index, often pointed to as a crit-
ical benchmark for California schools,
dropped slightly, while separate results
showed more students passing the California
High School Exit Exam, according to the
California Department of Education.
The 2013 Growth API data reveals that of
San Mateo Countys 166 schools, 109, or 66
percent, achieved a school-wide performance
target API of at least 800, the highest number
yet since the inception of the states
accountability system in 2002. API is deter-
mined from statewide Standardized Testing
and Reporting results. Despite this achieve-
ment at the school level, however, API
scores for the countys districts and the state
showed a slight dip from last year. The API is
a numeric index that ranges from a low of
200 to a high of 1,000.
A number of factors indicate we use cau-
tion when interpreting these results includ-
ing a signicant rise in the achievement tar-
gets mandated by No Child Left Behind, a
system that will soon be replaced, Gary
Waddell, deputy superintendent for the San
Mateo County Ofce of Education, said in a
press release. This continuously rising tar-
get no longer effectively distinguishes
between schools that are performing well
and those that are not.
Statewide, 56 percent of elementary
schools, 50 percent of middle schools and
31 percent of high schools met or exceeded
the state performance target of 800 points on

Bay Meadows lawsuit
hearing set for December
The week of Aug. 30, 2008, a group
trying to save Bay Meadows race track
from demolition had their day in court
scheduled for December 2008, when a
Superior Court judge agreed to hear
their recent lawsuit to save the 74-year
old landmark.
Friends of Bay
Meadows, led by San
Mateo resident Linda
Schinkel, led a lawsuit
in May 2008 in San
Mateo County Superior Court to
challenge the validity of the addendum
to the Bay Meadows development
agreement approved by the San Mateo
City Council in 2005. The group was
arguing the historical signicance of
the track changed since Russell Baze
became the winningest jockey in his-
tory at Bay Meadows the previous
December. It also argued inadequate
environmental studies were conducted
because the development was approved
on the assumption that the train tracks
would be separated from the roads at
25th, 28th and 31st avenues.
The lawsuit was not dismissed earlier
that week, as requested by the Bay
Meadows Land Company, and the judge
allowed the court hearing delayed until
Dec. 5, 2008.
Two teens escapes
from treatment center
Authorities searched for one of two
teen boys who escaped from a residen-
tial treatment program in unincorpo-
rated San Mateo County near Redwood
City the week of Aug. 30, 2008.
The two boys, ages 14 and 15, who
are both on juvenile probation,
escaped from the Canyon Oaks Youth
Center at 400 Edmonds
Road.
Sheriffs deputies con-
ducted a yard-to-yard
search with canine units
and located the 15-year-
old boy at Cordilleras and
Bennett roads about 20 minutes after
the escape.
Former juvenile
hall worker gets jail
A 25-year-old former juvenile hall
supervisor who had sex with a 15-
year-old ward at the all-girls camp on
campus must spend eight months in
jail and register as a sex offender, it
was reported the week of Aug. 30,
2008.
Carlos Alberto Ordonez, Jr., of Daly
City, faced up to 16 months in prison
under the terms of a negotiated plea
reached in June on one felony count of
unlawful sexual intercourse and misde-
meanor sexual annoyance.
In August 2006, Ordonez began
work as an extra-help group supervi-
sor, an entry-level position at the all-
female Margaret Kemp Girls Camp.
The girl reportedly told the officer
Ordonez gave her his cellphone num-
ber when she was discharged and said
they should meet up. They had a hand-
ful of meetings before the night of
their arrest. On Feb. 24, she was wear-
ing an electronic monitoring bracelet
required by home arrest and was sup-
posed to be at an Alcoholics
Anonymous meeting. Instead, Ordonez
picked her up about a block from home
and the two headed to the Oyster Point
Marina/Park parking lot
where they talked, drank
three-quarters of a bottle of
vodka and became intimate.
Gas prices up as
Gustav threatens refineries
Retail gas prices swung higher
Friday, Aug. 30, 2008 the first
increase in 43 days as analysts
warned that a direct hit on U.S. energy
infrastructure by Hurricane Gustav
could send pump prices hurtling toward
$5 a gallon.
Meanwhile, oil prices ended the day
slightly lower, falling for a second
straight session. But prices uctuated
sharply as some traders feared supply
disruptions and others bet the govern-
ment will release supplies from the
Strategic Petroleum Reserve if Gustav
wreaks havoc in the Gulf of Mexico
area home to a quarter of U.S. crude
supplies and 40 percent of rening
capacity.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Abill to strengthen limousine safety and
potentially prevent another tragedy like
the San Mateo bridge re that claimed ve
lives faces a key legislative vote today.
The Assembly Appropriations
Committee is scheduled to hear Senate Bill
338 authored by state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-
San Mateo, which would require limos with
less than 10 passengers to carry two re
extinguishers and mandate the California
Highway Patrol to conduct annual safety
inspections. The owner of an after-market
vehicle modified to increase passenger
capacity must also certify to the CHP and
California Public Utilities Commission
that it meets all applicable federal and state
motor vehicle safety standards, according
to Hills proposed legislation.
The CPUC estimates California has
4,200 converted stretch
limos like the vehicle
that caught fire May 5
while crossing from
Hayward over the bridge
and killed five women
trapped inside. An inves-
tigation concluded the
failure of the vehicles
suspension system start-
ed the re. Friction from
contact by the rear drive shaft with the oor
pan ignited the carpet and foam padding
inside the vehicle where nine passengers
were seated on their way to a bridal shower
in Foster City. The deaths were ruled acci-
dental.
Without his bill, Hill said, thousands of
limousines will go uninspected and
unequipped with re extinguishers because
current regulations only extend to vehicles
with greater capacity.
This legislation simply affords smaller
limousines the same safety protections that
are provided to larger vehicles because a
life in a nine-passenger vehicle is just as
valuable as a life in a 10-passenger vehi-
cle, Hill said in a prepared statement.
Hills proposed bill also lets the CHP
defray the estimated $900,000 annual cost
of implementation by collecting a $25 per
limo fee from operators.
The bill is backed by the California State
Sheriffs Association, California
Professional Fireghters, California Fire
Chiefs Association and Consumers for Auto
Reliability and Safety.
Hills bill isnt the only to come out of
the fatal re. State Sen. Ellen Corbett, D-
San Leandro, has introduced legislation
requiring pop-out windows and other new
regulations on the limos.
Limo safety bill up for vote today
The Foster Ci ty Counci l voted unanimously to support the
San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School Di stri cts
$130 million bond measure on the November ballot. The bond
would pay for rebuilding and expanding Bowditch Middle
Sc hool to add Foster City fth graders and reopening Knol l s
Elementary School in San Mateo.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Awoman who embez-
zled $320,000 from a California state
agency was later hired by the states High-
Speed Rail Authority and she said nobody
asked about her background.
Carey Renee Moore spent two years in
state prison after pleading no contest to
felony grand theft in 2007.
Prosecutors said she embezzled $320,000
in 2005 when she worked as a procurement
ofcer for the Department of Child Support
Services and used it to buy a television, hot
tub and other items, including pornograph-
ic videos, handcuffs, whips and chains.
Moore, who at the time was called Carey
Renee Aceves, was working for the state
Board of Equalization when she was arrested
in 2007. She was in the process of being
red but resigned before the action became
nal and so no record of her crime was
placed in her personnel le, The Sacramento
Bee reported Thursday.
In 2011, Moore was hired by the High-
Speed Rail Authority. Her job included mak-
ing travel plans for ofcials.
Her state job application didnt ask
whether shed been convicted of a crime
because the State Personnel Board had
removed that question and transferred it to
supplemental forms for jobs that required
background checks, such as law enforce-
ment.
Nobody else asked Moore whether she had
a criminal background and I wasnt going
to get a job if I said it, Moore told an unem-
ployment insurance appeals judge last
October.
I went through State Personnel Board
language to make sure there was no reason I
couldnt or shouldnt do this, she said.

One of two men accused of robbing a 79-
year-old woman living in a Redwood City
pastors home in February pleaded no con-
test Tuesday to rst-degree robbery in return
for a seven-year sentence.
Jovanni Aguilar Martinez, 21, also admit-
ted special allegations regarding weapon
use and committing a crime against an elder-
ly victim. He will be formally sentenced
Oct. 9 but the negotiated plea deal calls for
seven years in prison. The settlement also
spares Martinez a jury trial on charges of
kidnapping, armed robbery and elder abuse.
Co-defendant Luis Martinez Trujillo, 22,
accepted a similar deal
earlier this month on
charges of home inva-
sion robbery and using a
gun. He will also be sen-
tenced to seven years
prison Oct. 9.
The incident happened
Feb. 7 just before noon
when police responded to
the 900 block of 10th
Avenue on the report of a
robbery in progress. The victim told author-
ities a female she recognized from the
church came to her residence on Feb. 7 and
left after a brief interaction. Shortly later,
two hooded men armed with a semi-automat-
ic pistol arrived and pointed the weapon at
her head. Aman later identied as Martinez
gathered up property in a pillow case and,
after approximately an hour of pointing the
weapon at the woman, moved her 25 feet to
a separate bedroom and closed the door. The
woman called her daughter who contacted
police and Martinez was caught trying to
leave. Ofcers also identied the other two
who were later tracked to Mexicali, Mexico
and arrested.
The girl was never charged in the case.
Trujillo remains in custody in lieu of
$35,000 bail and Martinez is held on
$100,000 bail.
Home invasion suspect settles case
SACRAMENTO They began the year
with a legislative advantage no party had seen
in 80 years in California a two-thirds super-
majority in both houses of the Legislature.
Yet since then, the Democratic leaders of
the state Senate and Assembly have sparred
over important legislation dealing with
water, environmental protection, the Public
Records Act, municipal corruption and more.
They couldnt even agree on when to
recess the Legislature for the summer,
choosing different breaks that caused
momentary disarray and confusion.
Now they are at odds and in a sniping
mood on how to respond to a federal court
order to reduce Californias prison popula-
tion by the end of the year. Time is running
out to nd a compromise, and the stakes
couldnt be higher, with federal judges
poised to override state law and order early
releases of convicts.
The gulf between Assembly Speaker John
Perez of Los Angeles and Senate President
Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg of Sacramento
also could jeopardize this years key pieces
of legislation just as they are heading for
their nal votes in the last two weeks of the
regular legislative session. The Assembly
Budget Committee on Thursday unanimous-
ly advanced a temporary prison x support-
ed by Perez, Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown,
both of the Legislatures Republican leaders,
and statewide law enforcement and civic
groups. The proposal calls for spending
$315 million from the states $1.1 billion
budget reserve this year, and $730 million
over two years, to lease beds in private pris-
ons and county jail cells to meet the courts
order of reducing the inmate population by
another 9,600 inmates.

The Bay Area Bike Share made its
debut Thursday in Redwood City, Palo
Alto, Mountain View, San Jose and
San Francisco. The pilot program is
intended to provide Bay Area resi-
dents and visitors with an additional
transportation option for getting
around the region.
The bike sharing system will start
out with 700 bikes and 70 stations
across the region, said Karen
Schkolnick, district grants program
manager for the Bay Area Air Quality
Management District.
By early 2014 we will have a total
of 1,000 bikes and 100 stations,
Schkolnick said.
Public Bike System Company
provides the bike sharing system
with specially designed heavy-duty
bikes that are locked into a network
of docking stations
throughout the
r e g i o n .

City sen-
ior trans-
p o r t a t i o n
coordinator, said the bikes are meant
for short-term rental.
This program isnt meant to com-
pete with bike rental companies for
recreational rides, said Manzi. The
purpose of the program is for mem-
bers to run errands or commute to
work while avoiding the use of a
vehicle. To ensure short trips, bike
use is free for 30 minutes or less,
while overtime fees can pile up to
$150 per day. The idea is to get a
bike, run an errand and return it to a
BikeShare Stations.
It is like car sharing except you
can return it to any of the stations,
said Manzi. You dont have to return
it to the spot from where you picked
it up from.
There are three membership passes
which are the one day, three day and
annual pass. Annual members will
receive a special key in the mail. You
can use your Annual Member key or
enter your Ride Code (for 24-Hour and
Three-Day Members) to unlock a
bicycle from any station, said Manzi.
Program start
Although the BikeShare program is
in its infancy in the Bay Area, the
program has been in effect in cities
such as Chicago, Washington, D.C.,
and New York.
Three years ago, several Bay Area
communities started looking at
potential bike share systems within
their community,
said Schkolnick.
The Bay Area Air Quality
Management District became very
interested after it was piloted in
Washington, D.C., using fewer than
400 bikes.
We along with a number of agen-
cies applied for some capital funding
from MTC (Metropolitan
Transportation Commission), said
Schkolnick.
The MTC had $30 million available
for projects that would reduce green-
house gas from cars and trucks with
innovative strategies easily replica-
ble in other Bay Area communities.
The Bay Area Air Quality
Management District along with sev-
eral Bay Area cities found out they
were applying for the same funding.
The MTC suggested they all work
together by submitting a joint appli-
cation.
We were the lead applicant, so we
sent our application on behalf of all
of our partners, said Schkolnick.
Starting from now until early next
year, the district will learn what the
needs for the system are and how it
can learn and save the program for a
more robust system. All issues will
be reviewed by the district manage-
ment with the intention of expanding
the program.
Bike sharing programs have
received great testimonials from
other cities such as Arlington, Texas,
Schkolnick said.
Studies by the Arlington
Transit Agency showed
that not only ridership
numbers were high, but
that the system was con-
sistently safe.
Redwood City bike
share program
Redwood City is
one of the five Bay
Area cities tak-
ing part in
B i k e S h a r e
program.
San Mateo
County was
looking at a
number of
s t r a t e g i e s
called last
mile program,
said Manzi. The
last mile often
refers to the distance between a tran-
sit stop and the ultimate destination.
They are linking people who take
transit to work with other transporta-
tion options when they are at work
during the day. The idea is for the
county to target a program that the
city and county employs as a way to
pilot these different strategies to
ensure the most success. That is how
Redwood City got looped into the
regional program of Bay Area
BikeShare, said Manzi.
The program will reduce conges-
tion on streets in downtown and
improve economic development sup-
porting all the businesses in down-
town, said Manzi. Not only will it
help the environment, but it will get
people more active.

There were no major problems or trafc disruptions as workers
put the nishing touches on the new portion of the Bay Bridge
Thursday.
Traffic sluggish after Bay
Bridge closes for repairs
By Jason Dearen
SAN FRANCISCO Trafc around the San Francisco-
Oakland Bay Bridge was sluggish on Thursday after the span
was closed and work progressed on its new eastern stretch set
to open early next week.
Ofcials reported no major problems or trafc disruptions
as workers put the nishing touches on the new portion of
the bridge.
Bridge spokesman Andrew Gordon said crews were doing
minor demolition, grinding and paving. The new crossing
also needs to be connected to the ground on the Oakland side
and on the west side at Yerba Buena Island tunnel.
The key thing here is that construction is going very
well. Were on schedule, Gordon said.
The bridge closed on Wednesday night, and the new span is
expected to be opened on Monday night or Tuesday morn-
ing.
The reopening will come nearly 24 years after the 6.9-
magnitude Loma Prieta earthquake damaged the existing
eastern span, setting off a public works project marked by
numerous delays, political ghts over its design and com-
plex engineering hurdles.
Fears of a snarled morning commute on Thursday never
materialized, though alternate routes into San Francisco and
Bay Area Rapid Transit trains were more crowded.
BART experienced its 10th busiest day ever, with an
increase of nearly 31,000 people on trains through 10 a.m.
compared with the same time last year.
Were seeing a lot of new people at BART this morning,
and seeing lines back up at the ticket machines, said Jim
Allison, a spokesman for the rail service.
Commuters from Silicon Valley experienced some delays
unrelated to the bridge closure after a Caltrain engine hit and
killed a pedestrian in Palo Alto.

Workers and their supporters protest outside Burger King as part of a nationwide strike by fast-food workers to
call for wages of $15 an hour, in Los Angeles.
By Candice Choi
NEWYORK Fast-food workers
and their supporters beat drums,
blew whistles and chanted slogans
Thursday on picket lines in dozens
of U.S. cities, marking the largest
protests yet in their quest for high-
er wages.
The nationwide day of demonstra-
tions came after similar actions
organized by unions and communi-
ty groups over the past several
months. Workers are calling for the
right to unionize without interfer-
ence from employers and for pay of
$15 an hour. Thats more than dou-
ble the federal minimum wage of
$7.25 an hour, or $15,000 a year
for full-time employees.
Thursdays walkouts and protests
reached about 60 cities, including
New York, Chicago and Detroit,
organizers said. But the turnout var-
ied signicantly. Some targeted
restaurants were temporarily unable
to do business because they had too
few employees, and others seem-
ingly operated normally.
Ryan Carter, a 29-year-old who
bought a $1 cup of coffee at a New
York McDonalds where protesters
gathered, said he absolutely sup-
ported the demand for higher wages.
They work harder than the bil-
lionaires in this city, he said. But
Carter said he didnt plan to stop his
regular trips to McDonalds .
Jobs in low-wage industries have
led the economic recovery.
Advocates for a higher minimum
wage say that makes it crucial that
they pay enough for workers who
support families.
The restaurant industry says it
already operates on thin margins
and insists that sharply higher
wages would lead to steeper prices
for customers and fewer opportuni-
ties for job seekers.
Fast-food workers stage largest protests yet
By Seth Borenstein
WASHINGTON Being short
on cash may make you a bit slower
in the brain, a new study suggests.
People worrying about having
enough money to pay their bills
tend to lose temporarily the equiv-
alent of 13 IQ points, scientists
found when they gave intelligence
tests to shoppers at a New Jersey
mall and farmers in India.
The idea is that nancial stress
monopolizes thinking, making
other calculations slower and more
difcult, sort of like the effects of
going without sleep for a night.
And this money-and-brain
crunch applies, albeit to a smaller
degree, to about 100 million
Americans who face financial
squeezes, say the team of econo-
mists and psychologists who
wrote the study published in
Fridays issue of the journal
Science.
Our paper isnt about poverty.
Its about people struggling to
make ends meet, said Sendhil
Mullainathan, a Harvard econo-
mist and study co-author. When
we think about people who are
financially stressed, we think
they are short on money, but the
truth is they are also short on
cognitive capacity.
If you are always thinking about
overdue bills, a mortgage or rent,
or college loans, it takes away
from your focus on other things.
So being late on loans could end up
costing you both interest points
and IQ points, Mullainathan said.
The study used tests that studied
various aspects of thinking includ-
ing a traditional IQ test, getting
the 13 IQ point drop, said study co-
author Jiaying Zhao, a professor of
psychology and sustainability at
the University of British
Columbia.
The scientists looked at the
effects of nances on the brain
both in the lab and in the eld. In
controlled lab-like conditions,
they had about 400 shoppers at
Quaker Bridge Mall in central New
Jersey consider certain nancial
scenarios and tested their brain
power. Then they looked at real life
in the elds of India, where farmers
only get paid once a year. Before
the harvest, they take out loans
and pawn goods. After they sell
their harvest, they are ush with
cash.

Human trafcking defendant
to trial
One of two people charged with

several felonies.
Sate Stallone Jones, 26, has
pleaded not guilty to all counts but
was held to answer on several
counts of human trafcking and
enticing a minor into prostitution.
He returns to
court Sept. 12
to possibly set
a trial date.

Maria Carolina
Jiminez, 26,

ing on the evi-

In mid-February, a man later iden-
tied as Jones reportedly dropped
off two women one night and two
women the next at the La Quinta Inn
in South San Francisco between
Feb. 15 and Feb. 16. The women
reportedly told police the couple
gave them illegal drugs to keep
them working all night and some-
times deprived them of food. When
the man returned with a woman,
identied as Jiminez, to collect the
four others,
they were arrest-
ed.
Jiminez is
free on $350,000 bail while Jones
is held on the same amount.
Snake scam slithers
its way into Burlingame
A notorious snake scam has
slithered its way into Burlingame,
prompting police there to join the
hunt. Burlingame police said that a
resident on Francisco Drive, behind
Burlingame High School, contact-
ed them to report a woman claiming
to be an animal control ofcer came
to his home Tuesday around 6:50
p.m. and told him she needed to
check his backyard for snakes.
While the man escorted the woman
to the yard, another suspect entered
the home and stole the mans coin
collection, according to police.
The resident told police the
woman spoke loudly and frequently
in a Bronx-type accent. The resi-
dent suspected she might have spo-
ken in this manner to cover up the
sounds of her accomplice breaking
into the home.
The woman was last seen walking
south on Rollins Road. She is
described as a heavyset Hispanic
woman with bleached blonde hair
tucked into a baseball cap. She
stands about 5 feet, 2 inches tall
and was wearing a khaki uniform
with dried glue stains.

Leading local news coverage on the Peninsula
By Josh Lederman
WASHINGTON Months after gun con-
trol efforts crumbled in Congress, Vice
President Joe Biden stood shoulder to shoul-
der Thursday with the attorney general and
the top U.S. rearms ofcial and declared the
Obama administration would take two new
steps to curb American gun violence.
But the narrow, modest scope of those
steps served as pointed reminders that with-
out congressional backing, President
Barack Obamas capacity to make a differ-
ence is severely inhibited.
Still, Biden renewed a pledge from him
and the president to seek legislative xes to
keep guns from those who shouldnt have
them a pledge with grim prospects for
fulfillment amid the current climate on
Capitol Hill.
If Congress wont act, well ght for a
new Congress, Biden said in the Roosevelt
Room of the White House. Its that simple.
But were going to get this done.
One new policy will bar military-grade
weapons that the U.S. sells or donates to
allies from being imported back into the
U.S. by private entities. In the last eight
years, the U.S. has approved 250,000 of
those guns to come back to the U.S., the
White House said, arguing that some end up
on the streets. From now on, only museums
and a few other entities like the government
will be eligible to reimport military-grade
rearms.
The ban will largely affect antiquated,
World War II-era weapons that, while still
deadly, rarely turn up at crime scenes, leav-
ing some to question whether the new poli-
cy is much ado about nothing.
Banning these ries because of their use
in quote-unquote crimes is like banning
Model Ts because so many of them are being
used as getaway cars in bank robberies,
said Ed Woods, a 47-year-old from the Chico
area of northern California.
Woods said he collects such guns because
of their unique place in American history. He
now wonders whether hell be prohibited
from purchasing the type of M1 Garand rie
his father used during World War II. The U.S.
later sold thousands of the vintage ries to
South Korea.
Powers limited, Obama, Biden seek action on guns
WASHINGTON Despite 75 years of feder-
al marijuana prohibition, the Justice
Department said Thursday that states can let
people use the drug, license people to grow it
and even allow adults to stroll into stores and
buy it as long as the weed is kept away from
kids, the black market and federal property.
In a sweeping new policy statement
prompted by pot legalization votes in
Washington and Colorado last fall, the
department gave the green light to states to
adopt tight regulatory schemes to oversee the
medical and recreational marijuana industries
burgeoning across the country.
The action, welcomed by supporters of
legalization, could set the stage for more
states to legalize marijuana. Alaska could
vote on the question next year, and a few other
states plan similar votes in 2016.
The policy change embraces what Justice
Department ofcials called a trust but verify
approach between the federal government and
states that enact recreational drug use.
In a memo to all 94 U.S. attorneys ofces
around the country, Deputy Attorney General
James Cole said the federal government
expects that states and local governments
authorizing marijuana-related conduct will
implement strong and effective regulatory
and enforcement systems that address the
threat those state laws could pose to public
health and safety.

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama on Thursday pre-
pared for the possibility of
launching unilateral American
military action against Syria with-
in days as Britain opted out in a
stunning vote by Parliament.
Facing skepticism at home, too,
the administration shared intelli-
gence with lawmakers aimed at
convincing them the Syrian gov-
ernment used chemical weapons
against its people and must be
punished.
Despite roadblocks in forming
an international coalition, Obama
appeared undeterred and advisers
said he would be willing to retali-
ate against Syria on his own.
The president of the United
States is elected with the duty to
protect the national security inter-
ests in the United States of
America, White House
spokesman Josh Earnest said.
Even before the vote in London,
the U.S. was preparing to act with-
out formal authorization from the
United Nations, where Russia has
blocked efforts to seek a resolu-
tion authorizing the use of force,
or from Capitol Hill. But the U.S.
had expected Britain, a major ally,
to join in the effort.
Top U.S. ofcials spoke with
certain lawmakers for more than
90 minutes in a teleconference
Thursday evening to explain why
they believe Bashar Assads gov-
ernment was the culprit in a sus-
pected chemical attack last week.
Lawmakers from both parties have
been pressing Obama to provide a
legal rationale for military action
and specify objectives, as well as
to lay out a rm case linking Assad
to the attack.
A number of lawmakers raised
questions in the briefing about
how the administration would
nance a military operation as the
Pentagon is grappling with auto-
matic spending cuts and reduced
budgets.
U.S. readies for possible
solo action against Syria
By Albert Aji and Ryan Lucas
DAMASCUS, Syria
President Bashar Assad vowed
Thursday that Syria will defend
itself against Western military
strikes over a suspected chemical
weapons attack, and the U.N. said
inspectors will leave within 48
hours carrying information that
could be crucial to what happens
next.
British Prime Minister David
Cameron argued strongly for mili-
tary intervention in Syria but was
rejected in a preliminary vote in
Parliament, while French defense
ofcials said openly for the rst
time that their military is prepar-
ing for a possible operation. The
Obama administration was brief-
ing congressional leaders about
its case for attacking Syria.
The U.S., Britain and France
blame Assads regime for the
alleged chemical weapons attack
Aug. 21 on rebel-held suburbs of
Damascus. The Syrian govern-
ment denies the allegations, say-
ing rebels staged the attack to
frame the regime.
At the United Nations, a meet-
ing of the permanent members of
the Security Council on the Syrian
crisis ended after less than an hour
after being convened by Russia, a
staunch ally of the Assad regime.
As Western leaders made their
case at home for intervening in
Syrias 3-year-old civil war, Assad
remained deant.
Threats to launch a direct
aggression against Syria will
make it more adherent to its well-
established principles and sover-
eign decisions stemming from the
will of its people, and Syria will
defend itself against any aggres-
sion, he said in comments
reported by the Syrian state news
agency.
Its not clear whether Assad
would retaliate against any attacks
or try to ride them out in hopes of
minimizing the threat to his con-
tinued rule. The U.S. has said
regime change it not the objective
of any military action it may carry
out.

Letters to the editor
By Don Horsley
L
et me tell you about one of the
many jewels of San Mateo County.
Its a special neighborhood tucked
away on the San Mateo County coastside.
Getting there in the rst place is the begin-
ning of the journey.
Once you turn off Highway 1 at the Pillar
Point Harbor intersection, across from the
community of El Granada, you might think
you have simply entered the world of a tra-
ditional marine community. The harbor
itself, managed by the independent agency
known as the San Mateo County Harbor
District, includes working shing boats as
well as personal pleasure craft. It is a
delightful place to spend a few hours. There
are several seafood restaurants and a well-
respected local brew pub. Theres even a
small indoor commercial mall and a few
hotels in the area. Its also a terric spot to
buy fresh seafood directly from the sher
folks themselves.
This is clearly one of those unique jewels
within San Mateo County I mentioned
but wait, theres more. Ashort drive or
walk past the harbor leads to the extraordi-
nary area known as Princeton-by-the-Sea.
From the moment you enter one of the
roads named after a famous American uni-
versity, whether its Harvard, Yale, Stanford
or the eponymous Princeton, by the sea,
youll become aware of the special nature
of this neighborhood. Its a fascinating
conglomeration of homes, storage areas,
marina-type businesses and even some
eccentric oddities that are a bit difcult to
describe. Where else can you visit a yacht
club and then rent your
own small, personal
watercraft in the form of
a kayak right next door?
What is clear to any-
one, however, is that
this is a place that could
use a little TLC. Thats
where Plan Princeton
comes in.
Acollaborative effort to map out a uni-
ed, successful future for this area, Plan
Princeton represents the countys intent to
create a program that will help the commu-
nity achieve its vision for everything from
positive development and coastal access
enhancement to a more dependable infra-
structure.
This isnt a one-size-ts-all project; it
will be something that enhances all the
good things about Princeton, building
upon the character and history of the area.
Its a working waterfront, rst and fore-
most, so that will be the leading edge of
the exploration. No one wants Princeton to
become a miniature Marina del Rey. That is
not our goal. Im not hoping to reinvent
Princeton and create something completely
different. Instead, I believe that together
we will be able to help Princeton evolve
into a more vibrant and dynamic mixed-use
neighborhood.
We are striving to bring the various
strands of business, residential and public
uses of the area into a more cohesive and
healthy community. The reality of a small
county airport bumping up against the edge
of Princeton also adds an important factor
to the study. Although operated by the
county, the Half Moon Bay Airport has a
federal government mandate. Our long-
range plans must also incorporate the air-
ports own long-range plans in a seamless
partnership.
We will be holding a vision workshop
public meeting on this entire concept from
6:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 12, in
the Grand Ballroom of the Oceano Hotel
and Spa at 280 Capistrano Road in
Princeton. Its an important rst step on a
journey we will be taking together.
I encourage everyone with a personal or
professional interest in Princeton-by-the-
Sea to attend this important meeting. We
sincerely want to hear your views and Im
looking forward to helping bring a vision
of a more robust Princeton into focus.
Please visit the Plan Princeton website at
www.planprinceton.com and take the
online survey, learn a little more about the
process and sign up to be included in ongo-
ing news about the process.
If youre anything like me, youll also
want to explore Princeton-by-the-Sea. Im
sure youll nd it to be fascinating. Dont
hesitate to let me know what you think.

Creating a better
downtown San Mateo
Editor,
In response to the letter from Nancy
DeSmedt, which ran in the Aug. 22 of the
Daily Journal, I would like to address some
of her concerns about downtown San Mateo.
I agree that our streets should and can be
cleaner. Everyone from visitors to locals
benet from the aesthetic and economic
impacts of a clean community.
Although the Downtown San Mateo
Association does not collect a cleaning fee
from the merchants (nor do we administer the
downtown cleaning contract), we do work
closely with San Mateos Department of
Public Works that nances and operates the
cleaning program. The good news is that the
DPWrecently signed a new contract with a
service provider who is much more effective
and responsive. The new provider started on
Aug. 1, and we have already seen some major
improvements.
The DSMAworks proactively with the
more than 800 businesses in downtown San
Mateo to improve storefront appearance and
sidewalk cleanliness. In April, we held our
rst annual Downtown CleanUp, which cor-
ralled more than 200 volunteers to help
clean up and improve the downtown
streetscape. During the one day event we,
relandscaped several planter beds, created a
mural on North B Street, painted over count-
less grafti tags and picked up more than
1,400 gallons of trash.
We have recently launched several public
art installations, and we actively partner
with San Mateos economic development
manager to promote our downtown to the
broader Bay Area.
Since our budget is modest, we rely heavi-
ly on volunteer participation. We welcome
the participation of citizens like Ms.
DeSmedt who care about the beautication of
our downtown. Anyone interested in getting
involved is invited to contact me directly at
jessica@dsma.org.

Fenced-off playgrounds at
Fiesta Gardens and College Park
Editor,
Im a big fan of the remodeled school
buildings and grounds at Fiesta Gardens
(where my son attends second grade) and
College Park (in our neighborhood), but this
past weekend, my son and I discovered that
there was no longer any access to the play
area at College Park. Fiesta Gardens is also
locked up after school hours.
That is a shame. School playgrounds
have been a major community asset for as
long as I can remember. They are a place
for families to play, children to meet and,
with all the open concrete, they are safe
places to learn how to ride a bike.
By locking up the school grounds after
school and on weekends, were depriving
our communities of a valuable resource.
Worse, we are creating a division between
the schools and their communities.
Schools should be part of the fabric of
the neighborhood, not walled-off institu-
tions. Please dont keep this community
good apart from the community that loves,
uses and cares for it. Open up the play-
grounds again, please.

The future of Princeton-by-the-Sea
Debt specter
S
ometimes a specter sticks around so
long it no longer is frightening,
but rather familiar.
So it is with the fact that Social Security
and Medicare is running out of money. That
specter has been around for so long that
many of us think of it as nothing that is
actually real. But proposals to correct the
future course of both sure are frightening.
The Simpson-Bowles Commission tasked
to nd solutions to our nations debt came
up with some scenarios that would make
both solvent, but the proposals never went
far because the
actuality meant
cuts to services
so many have
come to expect,
in fact, feel enti-
tled to thus
the term entitle-
ment.
Another
specter that has
reared its ugly
head in recent
years is the debt
ceiling. It rattles
its chains at
times and in fact, the failure of a congres-
sional deal to contend with it in summer
2011 prompted a Wall Street sell-off. The
solution, of course, was the sequester cuts,
which were threatened solely because they
were so blunt and distasteful that they
would force our leaders in Washington to
nally, nally come up with a deal. But
alas, that was not meant to be and the
sequester cuts were enacted earlier this year.
While there was some talk that the cuts
would be so challenging that the populace
would rise up and demand change, the only
cut that really seemed to resonate was the
one to air trafc controllers. While that
was quickly remedied, the other cuts
remained. Those cuts, along with rising tax
revenue means the debt ceiling is still on
the horizon, yet our government is not
trimming the debt, just simply not adding
on to it at such a rapid rate.
And so, this fall, arrives the debt ceiling
deadline once again. Will it rattle its
chains? Who knows, but the Federal
Reserve is running out of arrows in its
quantitative easing quiver to continue
propping up the stock market. For those
who know about quantitative easing, props
to you. For those who dont, it has essen-
tially been an ongoing program in which
the Federal Reserve has poured money into
treasuries to diminish their value and force
those with equity into the stock market. A
recent look at the Dow shows its still rela-
tively high, but lower than its recent record
mark in part because there have been hints
that quantitative easing is near its end and
the Fed will pull back on its current $85
billion monthly bond purchases. Of
course, the saber rattling in Syria doesnt
help either.
The deadline for the debt ceiling deadline
is a moving target with some saying it
could be reached as soon as September, or
maybe October. Some suggest it might be
pushed as far out as the holidays. In the
past two years, however, there has been lit-
tle evidence that the White House and the
Republican-led House of Representatives
have the taste, or at least the ability, to
come up with a deal that could rectify the
fact that the United States is hitting its
self-imposed debt limit of $16.4 trillion
set in 2011 when the last deal was reached.
For many, the debt ceiling and quantita-
tive easing are about as exciting as deter-
mining the difference between Navajo
white and tan paint, then watching it dry.
But for those who have money in the mar-
kets through individual investments, mutu-
al funds or individual retirement accounts,
the impact could be mighty ... and a little
depressing and all too-familiar.

NEWYORK Positive news on the
U.S. economy outweighed worries
about Syria Thursday, sending the
stock market higher for a second
straight day.
The Dow Jones industrial average
added 16.44 points, or 0.1 percent, to
14,840.95, while the Standard &
Poors 500 index rose 3.2 points, or
0.2 percent, to 1,638.17. The Nasdaq
composite posted a bigger gain, ris-
ing 27 points, or 0.8 percent, to
3, 620. 30.
The Dow has gained 64 points over
the past two days, not nearly enough
to make up for its 170-point loss
Tuesday as tensions over Syria rattled
markets.
Verizon Communications was the
biggest gainer among the blue chips
after Britains Vodafone confirmed it
was in talks with Verizon to sell its 45
percent stake their joint venture,
Verizon Wireless.
Verizon rose $1.26, or 2.7 percent,
to $47.82. The U.S.-listed shares of
Vodafone rose $2.39, or 8.1 percent,
to $31.80.

If youre a long-term investor, its
an opportunity, said Richard Sichel,
chief investment officer at
Philadelphia Trust Co., which has
$1.9 billion under management. He
noted a new investment, the retail
chain PetSmart, as an example.
Wayne Wilbanks, chief investment
officer at the asset management firm
Wilbanks, Smith & Thomas, said the
market might have fallen too quickly.
He also cautioned that the gains from
the last two days may not last.
Be very careful, Wilbanks said.
You havent missed out on much if
youve sat on the sidelines since May.

Traders had two good economic
reports to parse through Thursday.
The U.S. economy grew at a 2.5 per-
cent annual rate from April through
June, much faster than previously
estimated, the government said. Also,
the Labor Department said the number
of people who filed for unemploy-
ment benefits last week fell to
331,000, the fewest in five years.
While lower unemployment claims
and an upward revision on GDP are
both positive signs, most of Wall
Streets attention is focused on next
week, when the August jobs report
will be released. The Federal Reserve
is expected to decide the fate of its
massive bond-buying program in
mid-September, and the jobs survey
will be the last bit of significant eco-
nomic data the Fed will have to con-
sider before making its decision.
Traders also continue to watch
Syria, where a U.S.-led attack could
happen, although such a strike seems
less imminent than earlier in the
week. Oil fell to below $109 a barrel
Thursday.
The general feeling is that Syrian
tensions have eased a bit, said Alec
Young, global equity strategist with
S&P Capital IQ.
The price of crude oil fell $1.30, or
1.2 percent, to $108.80 a barrel. Oil
had climbed as high as $112 earlier
this week.
Energy-related stocks fell. Exxon
Mobil slipped 2 percent and Chevron
fell 1 percent.
Investors worry that a limited strike
could drag the U.S. and its allies into
that nations civil war, or worse, set
off a regional conflict in an area
where so much of the worlds oil is
located.
Beyond the news about Syria, it has
been a mostly quiet week for stocks.
Traders are winding down during the
last week of summer and heading out
for the Labor Day holiday this week-
end.
Stocks post mild gains following economic data
By Marcy Gordon
WASHINGTON U.S. banks earned more
from April through June than during any
quarter on record, aided by a steep drop in
losses from bad loans.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. says
the banking industry earned $42.2 billion
in the second quarter, up 23 percent from the
second quarter of 2012. About 54 percent of
U.S. banks reported improved earnings
from a year earlier.
Banks losses on loans tumbled 30.7 per-
cent from a year earlier to $14.2 billion, the
lowest in six years. And bank lending
increased 1 percent from the rst quarter.
Greater lending helps boost consumer and
business spending, leading to more jobs
and faster economic growth.
Still, the report shows that the largest
banks continue to drive the industrys prot s
while smaller institutions have struggled.
Banks with assets exceeding $10 billion
make up only 1.5 percent of U.S. banks. Yet
they accounted for about 82 percent of the
industrys earnings in the April-June quarter.
Those banks include Bank of America
Corp., Citigroup Inc., JPMorgan Chase &
Co. and Wells Fargo & Co. Most have
recovered with help from federal bailout
money and record-low borrowing rates.
Overall, FDIC Chairman Martin
Gruenberg said the second-quarter results
show a continuation of the recovery in the
banking industry.

WASHINGTON Bottles of Tylenol sold
in the U.S. will soon bear red warnings alert-
ing users to the potentially fatal risks of tak-
ing too much of the popular pain reliever.
The unusual step, disclosed by the company
that makes Tylenol, comes amid a growing
number of lawsuits and pressure from the fed-
eral government that could have widespread
ramications for a medicine taken by mil-
lions of people every day.
Johnson & Johnson says the warning will
appear on the cap of new bottles of Extra
Strength Tylenol sold in the U.S. starting in
October and on most other Tylenol bottles in
coming months. The warning will make it
explicitly clear that the over-the-counter
drug contains acetaminophen, a pain-reliev-
ing ingredient that is the nations leading
cause of sudden liver failure.
Were always looking for ways to better
communicate information to patients and
consumers, says Dr. Edwin Kuffner, vice
president of McNeil Consumer Healthcare,
the Johnson & Johnson unit that makes
Tylenol.
Overdoses from acetaminophen send
55,000 to 80,000 people in the U.S. to the
emergency room each year and kill at least
500, according to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention and the Food and
Drug Administration. Acetaminophen can be
found in more than 600 over-the-counter and
prescription products used by nearly one in
four American adults every week, including
household brands like Nyquil cold formula,
Excedrin pain tablets and Sudafed sinus pills.
Tylenol is the rst of these products to
include such a warning label on the bottle
cap. McNeil says the warning is a result of
research into the misuse of Tylenol by con-
sumers.

Maybe all the doom and
gloom surrounding the
Aragon football program was
a bit premature. Even coach
Steve Sell thought his team
might struggle this
season given the lack
of the success the
Dons frosh-soph
team experienced
last season.
Turns out, the Dons
should have plenty of
pieces to contend for
the Ocean Division title this
year.
I expect to be in the mix,
for sure, Sell said. I think
its going to be tough.
Some things are going to
have to go right. I would be
disappointed if we werent in
the mix.

PHILADELPHIA The NFLagreed to pay
more than three-quarters of a billion dollars
to settle lawsuits from thousands of former
players who developed dementia or other
concussion-related brain disorders they say
were caused by the very on-eld violence
that fueled the games rise to popularity and
prot .
The class-action settlement, unprecedent-
ed in sports, was announced Thursday after
two months of court-ordered mediation and
is subject to approval by a federal judge. It
came exactly a week before the rst game of
the 2013 season, removing a major legal
and nancial threat hanging over the sport.
U.S. District Judge Anita B. Brody in
Philadelphia is expected to rule on the set-
tlement in two to three months but said it
holds the prospect of avoiding lengthy,
expensive and uncertain litigation, and of
enhancing the game of football.
More than 4,500 former players, some of
them suffering from depression or dementia,
accused the NFL of concealing the long-
term dangers of concussions and rushing
injured players back onto the eld, while
glorifying and proting from the bone-
crushing hits that were often gloried in
slow motion on NFL Films.

DETROIT Grant Balfour sensed some-
thing was wrong while warming up in the
bullpen, failing to throw fastballs or breaking
pitches the way hed like before entering a
game.
It didnt get any better for the As closer
when he was on the
mound.
Torii Hunter hit a three-
run homer with two outs in
the ninth inning, lifting
the Detroit Tigers over the
Oakland Athletics 7-6
Thursday to avoid a sweep.
The Tigers scored four
times in the ninth off
Balfour (0-3). A two-out
walk set up Victor Martinezs RBI single
before Hunter cleared the left-center fence for
their biggest comeback victory of the year.
Balfour said he felt terrible on the mound.
Its not a good lineup to go out there when
youve got nothing, I must admit, he said.
The As roughed up 19-game winner Max
Scherzer and didnt have to nish the game
against slugger Miguel Cabrera, who limped
off the eld in the fth inning with an abdom-
inal injury.
Coco Crisp led off the game with a double

SEATTLE Tarvaris Jackson led Seattle
on three first-half scoring drives, and
Terrelle Pryor struggled through his worst
performance of the preseason with a chance
at earning Oaklands starting quarterback
job in the Seahawks 22-6 preseason victo-
ry.
Jackson led the Seahawks to a trio of eld
goals from Steven Hauschka, including
kicks of 51 and 56 yards.
Jackson got the bulk of
time in the rst half after
Russell Wilson made a
brief cameo, leading the
Seahawks to their first
touchdown on their
opening drive.
Hauschka also hit from
22, 43 and 53 yards.
Pryor had turned the
Raiders quarterback situation into a real
competition with his performance during
the preseason. Matt Flynn sat out Thursday
with a sore elbow, and Pryor was given an
entire half to try and show he deserved the
job. He was lackluster, completing 3 of 8
passes for 31 yards and an interception.
Seattle won its ninth straight preseason
game. Jackson nished 12 of 17 passing for
119 yards and likely locked up the backup
job to Wilson.
Meanwhile, Oakland coach Dennis Allen
has a difcult decision: start the season with
Pryor or, if hes healthy, go with Flynn.
Pryor ashed a little of what had his home
fans chanting his name last week. On his
second drive, Pryor threw darts to Rod
Streeter for a pair of 14-yard receptions and
later added a 25-yard scramble that led to the
rst of Justin Medlocks two eld goals.
But he was not impressive to the point of
making the decision obvious for Allen.
Pryor also didnt see much of the eld.
Following the eld goal, Seattle kept the
ball for nearly eight minutes on a 17-play
drive that led to Hauschkas 22-yard eld
goal. Pryor immediately gave the ball back
to Seattle, underthrowing Jacoby Ford on a
deep pass and Seattles Walter Thurmond
made a one-handed interception. Seattle
then had an 11-play drive leading to another
Hauschka eld goal.
Most of the interest on the Seahawks
sideline had to do with guest Snoop Dogg,
who sported a gray No. 24 jersey with
Snoop across the back and Seahawks
gloves. He was in the locker room before
the game and left for his scheduled concert
nearby during the rst half.
Wilson and most of Seattles starting
offense was in for all of three minutes.
Wilson hit Stephen Williams for 50 yards
on the second play of the game, later scram-
bled for 11 yards, and nally found rookie
tight end Luke Willson for 20 yards. Robert
Turbin then capped the drive on a 3-yard run
and Wilsons night was complete.
The Seahawks did have two injuries that
could have an impact on the nal 53-man
roster. Williams suffered a concussion on
his 50-yard reception, and rookie offensive
lineman Michael Bowie injured a shoulder.
Both were expected to be on the edge of
making the nal cuts.

is not the answer

SAN DIEGO Colin Kaepernick looks
ready for his rst full season as a starter.
Mike McCoys San Diego Chargers look
as if they could use a few more weeks of
training camp.
Kaepernick threw a touchdown pass to cap
his only drive, and the San Francisco 49ers
roughed up the Chargers 41-6 in the presea-
son nale for both teams Thursday night.
Kaepernick faked an inside handoff and
then threw a short sidearm pass to Quinton
Patton, who deked rookie free agent Marcus
Cromartie and completed the 43-yard scor-
ing play.
Coach Jim Harbaugh started the rst-team
offense of the 49ers (3-1), while McCoy sat
his rst-team defense.
The Chargers (1-3) had a bad night.
Backup quarterback Charlie Whitehurst
was sacked four times in the rst half and
third-stringer Brad Sorensen threw two
interceptions in the second half.
San Francisco linebacker Cam Johnson
sacked Whitehurst twice and blocked a punt
by Mike Scifres and recovered it in the end
zone for a touchdown late in the third quar-
ter.
The defending NFC champion 49ers open
at home against Green Bay a week from
Sunday.
The Chargers, whove missed the playoffs
for three straight seasons, open at home
against Houston a week from Monday.
Chargers wide receiver Robert Meachem,
who has a guaranteed $5 million salary, had
four catches before sustaining a concus-
sion. Hes been a forgotten man since drop-
ping a potential touchdown pass in a 7-6
loss at Cleveland last season.
Niners free agent pickup Lavelle Hawkins
had a spectacular 45-yard touchdown play in
the fourth quarter.
A short pass from B.J. Daniels bounced
off Hawkins hands and into the air, but the
receiver grabbed it before being hit by
rookie safety Jahleel Addae. Addae didnt
wrap up, and Hawkins swept to the left and
nished the scoring run for a 34-6 lead.
Kaepernick is heading into his rst full
season as a starter after making 10 starts
last year and leading the 49ers to the Super
Bowl, where they lost to the Baltimore
Ravens.
With Harbaugh playing his starters, the
mismatch paid off as the 49ers moved 77
yards in seven plays for the score.
Kaepernick completed 3 of 4 passes for
64 yards for a rating of 156.2. He didnt
have any carries.
Colt McCoy, selected as the backup last
weekend after he restructured his contract,
replaced Kaepernick and played into the
third quarter.
McCoy also threw a touchdown pass, a 5-
yarder to Anthony Dixon in the second quar-
ter.
McCoy completed 8 of 15 passes for 56
yards.
Daniels also threw a 15-yard touchdown
pass to rookie Chuck Jacobs. Daniels had a
36-yard run on that drive.
Whitehurst was 9 of 12 for 86 yards, with
one interception. Max Starks, who appar-
ently has lost the competition for the start-
ing job at left tackle to King Dunlap, was
repeatedly beaten and gave up three sacks.
The other sack was allowed by right tackle
Mike Harris, who played left tackle last year
as a rookie.
Brad Sorensen, San Diegos rookie third-
string QB, was intercepted twice.
San Diegos Nick Novak kicked field
goals of 41 and 48.
Chargers rookie linebacker Manti Teo
was back in his walking boot as he watched
the game from the sideline in a sweatsuit.
Teo sprained his right foot in the exhibi-
tion opener against Seattle on Aug. 8. He
Teo was out of the boot Tuesday,
although he hasnt been cleared to practice.

one that was more balanced offensively in
2012.
Hes probably one of the most accurate
passers weve ever had, Sell said. Well
look to get the ball out in space as much as
possible.
While Blood had one of the best receivers
in the PAL last season in Aldo Severson, he
has since graduated. Its one thing to have a
good quarterback who can throw, but it means
little if he doesnt have anyone to whom to
t h r o w .
Enter Kono Filimoehala-Egan, a junior who
had sit out last season due to the Central
Coast Sections transfer rule. Sell believes
Filimoehala-Egan can be just as effective this
season as Severson was in 2012.
Hes probably the best athlete in (our)
school, Sell said. Hes over 200 pounds.
Just a great athlete. He could be an outstand-
ing quarterback. Hes strong, he uses his
body. He has an uncanny ability to go up and
grab the ball.
Kona will be a focus of our offense, for
sure.
Despite a newly found aerial attack, Sell is,
at his core, a ground-and-pound kind of coach.
He should have the personnel to do just that,
while at the same time, mixing it up on the
ground between the fullback and halfback.
Senior Patrick Pauni returns as three-year
varsity player and, at over 255 pounds, he has
the ability to steamroll defenses.
He played more defense last year, but I
think his best position is fullback, Sell said.
While Pauni will supply the thunder, the
lightning will be furnished by halfbacks and
ybacks in the form of Matt Foppiano, Devin
Grant and Keith Samujh.
Last year, we were a halfback-driven team,
Sell said. This year, well be much more bal-
anced between halfback and fullback.
Tyler Neely, who started on the offensive
line last year as a junior, will anchor the unit
this year and, at 6-5, 285, Sell expects him to
see time on both offense and defense.
The person, other than the quarterback, who
touches the ball on every offensive play is the
center and this year that responsibility falls
on the sophomore shoulders of Dillan Lovell,
who didnt play football last year.
Hes tough. He just doesnt have the expe-
rience, Sell said.
James Fanonga started all last year on the
offensive line. This year, hell ex out to the
tight end position, but will still have plenty
of action staying in to block.
The Dons defense should be just as solid.
Sell is really excited about defensive lineman
C.J. Alipate. Although only a junior, Alipate
saw plenty of action last year as a sophomore.
He could be a dominant defensive line-
man, Sell said. Hes really good. He could be
a guy who can really be a disruptive force. Hes
the kind of guy offenses have to prepare for.
Fanonga will also see time on the defensive
side, as will Pauni. Nick Tolfa will help out the
linebacking corps, while also seeing time at
wideout on offense.
All in all, Sell is pleased with the develop-
ment of his team. After having concerns com-
ing into the season, he now is condent the
Dons have what it takes to be more than just
competitive in the Ocean this season.
I think I am (a bit surprised), Sell said.
We have a couple kids who are sophomores
who are developing faster than I thought they
would. We have three sophomores [who] can
help us right now, which I did not expect.
I dont consider this a rebuilding year. We
have a great quarterback, a talented wide
receiver and a good fullback and some good
defensive guys. Weve got aws, but every-
body has aws.

Program momentum: its something the
mens soccer team at Notre Dame de Namur
College has. And its something theyre
hoping to keep riding.
Fresh off their second-ever appearance in
the NCAA Division II Tournament, the
Argos will look to pick up where they left
off and make a run at the Pacific West
Conference championship, and a return trip
to the NCAATournament.
NDNU was voted into a third place nish
in the conference by the coaches this year,
garnering one rst place vote, coming in
behind California Baptist and Fresno
Pacic. The Argos return eight starters from
last years 13-5-1 squad, including ve All-
Conference and three All-Region perform-
ers.
NDNU placed three players on the presea-
son All-PacWest team, led by seniors
Armando Garcia and Jesus Gonzalez, with
sophomore Tyler Matas also receiving the
honor.
Garcia, a forward from Sequoia High
School, is no stranger to conference acco-
lades, earning All-PacWest honors in each
of the last three seasons. He earned rst
team honors last year after being named sec-
ond team All-Conference as a freshman and
sophomore. Garcia was also named 2010
PacWest Freshman of the Year after an out-
standing debut season.
In addition, Garcia is a three-time All-
West Region performer, making both the
National Soccer Coaches Association of
America and Daktronics teams last season.
In 2012, Garcia led the Argos in total points
with 25 and assists with nine. He also n-
ished second on the team in goals with
eight, including four game-winners.
Gonzalez earned second team All-
Conference honors last season after making
the move to mideld. He nished second
on the team in assists with six and third in
goals with ve, despite missing the last ve
games with an injury. Three of Gonzalezs
ve goals went for game-winners.
Matas, a defender from Honolulu, is com-
ing off an outstanding debut season that
earned him second team All-PacWest acco-
lades. He started all 19 games for the
Argonauts at right back and played all but
six minutes on the season. He led the team
with 1,792 minutes played while adding
four assists.
The Argos open the season at 12:30 p.m.
next Thursday when they host CSU
Monterey Bay at Koret Field in Belmont.

has been kind to me, said former Dallas
Cowboys running back Tony Dorsett, one
of at least 10 members of the Pro Football
Hall of Fame who led suit since 2011. But
when I signed up for this, I didnt know
some of the repercussions. I did know I
could get injured, but I didnt know about my
head or the trauma or the things that could
happen to me later on in life.
The settlement applies to all 18,000 past
NFL players and spouses of those who are
deceased a group that could total more
than 20,000 and will cost the league
$765 million, the vast majority of which
would go to compensate athletes with cer-
tain neurological ailments, plus plaintiffs
attorney fees. It sets aside $75 million for
medical exams and $10 million for medical
research.
Individual payouts would be capped at $5
million for men with Alzheimers disease;
$4 million for those diagnosed after their
deaths with a brain condition called chronic
traumatic encephalopathy; and $3 million
for players with dementia, said lead plain-
tiffs lawyer Christopher Seeger.
The settlement does not include an admis-
sion from the NFL that it hid information
from players about head injuries.
Commissioner Roger Goodell told pro foot-
balls lawyers to do the right thing for the
game and the men who played it, according
to a statement by the league.
Goodell was not made available for com-
ment.
The NFL has annual revenue of about $9
billion.
In addition to Dorsett, the plaintiffs
include Super Bowl-winning quarterback
Jim McMahon, who suffers from dementia;
former running back Kevin Turner, who has
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou
Gehrigs disease; and the family of All-Pro
selection Junior Seau, who committed sui-
cide last year.
Turner, who played for the New England
Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles, predicted
that most of his peers would support the set-
tlement.
Chances are ... I wont make it to 50 or
60, said Turner, now 44. I have money
now to put back for my children to go to
college and for a little something to be
there nancially.
All former NFL players are eligible to
seek care, screening or compensation,
whether they suffered a documented concus-
sion or not. The amounts they receive will
be based on their age, condition and years
of play. They do not need to prove that their
health problems are connected to playing
football.
Players lawyers said they expect the fund
to cover the ex-athletes expenses up to age
65. Current players are not covered.
If the settlement holds, the NFL wont
have to disclose internal les that might
reveal what it knew, and when, about con-
cussion-linked brain problems.
I think its more important that the play-
ers have nality, that theyre vindicated,
and that as soon as the court approves the
settlement they can begin to get screening,
and those that are injured can get their com-
pensation. I think thats more important
than looking at some documents, said
lawyer Sol Weiss of Philadelphia, who led
the rst lawsuit on behalf of former Atlanta
Falcon Ray Easterling and a few others.
Easterling later committed suicide.
Sports law experts had thought the law-
suits might cost the league $1 billion or
more if they went to trial. The NFL had
pushed for the claims to be heard in arbitra-
tion under terms of the players labor con-
tract.
The league had also argued that individual
teams bear the chief responsibility for
health and safety under the collective bar-
gaining agreement, along with the players
union and the players themselves.
Dorsett said each day is getting harder for
him, as he struggles with memory prob-
lems.
Its frustrating. Frustrating. And to have
a 10-year old daughter who says to her
mother, Daddy cant do this because Daddy
wont remember how to do it, its not a
good feeling, he said.
NFL
Coast Section playoffs on a heroic end-of-
the-season run, coach John Philipopoulos
looked into his crystal ball and chose to
have his young squad toughen up in the
Ocean division this season.
I just felt like it was the appropriate time
for us to move down, Philipopoulos said.
Thats where we belong. I think for the
most part, this is an Ocean Division-type
school. I think our kids have done an out-
standing job playing up, but for this years
group, were right where we belong.
As appropriate as the Ocean may be for
Burlingame, the move does come with a
sense of urgency for a Burlingame program
that hasnt won a division title since the
2002 season. Talented players at the skill
positions, coupled with a demotion of sorts
to the Ocean, makes the Panthers a division
favorite. Philipopoulos knows it. His play-
ers know it. The city they represent know it.
There is denitely a sense of urgency,
Philipopoulos said. We played a lot of
great games, weve always been in the upper
division, lost a lot of tough games, won a
lot of close games as well, but in my mind,
we have a great opportunity this season and
we need to go out and take advantage of it.
That being said, we are very much a work in
progress.
Burlingames biggest question mark is in
the trenches. Gone are the Benji Palus of the
world, and whats left are lineman who
Philipopoulos and his staff are treating like
puzzle pieces.
Weve moving some guys around and
hopefully, real soon here, well get that g-
ured out. I think were getting close, but
were not quite there yet, Philipopoulos
said. Thats denitely a point of emphasis
for us.
Its not like the Burlingame skill players
need a whole lot of daylight running backs
like Manase Palu, Keone Keahi and Robby
Baumgarten have already shown PAL fans
what they can do with the ball in their
hands. The key then, is blocking up front
for those guys. And for Burlingames new
quarterback.
Avery Gindraux takes over the reins after
starting gigs on the freshman and junior
varsity squads. Hes been in all summer put-
ting in work, Philipopoulos said.
Avery is all in, Philipopoulos said.
Hes fully rested. Hes a very smart kid.
Hes very much engaged. He wants to learn.
Hes very coachable. Good speed, decent
height, good arm, outstanding feet in the
pocket. Hes something were really excited
about.
Taking some pressure off the young QB
are the aforementioned trio of Burlingame
superstars Palu, Keahi and Baumgarten.
Philipopoulos said there are two or three
other guys hes perfectly comfortable with
handing the rock to.
Skill positions, I think we go toe to toe
with any school in the PAL, Philipopoulos
said. I feel strongly about that. Ive seen a
lot of maturation in those guys in their
approach, in their work ethic, in their abil-
ity and desire to be leaders and not just go
with the ow. Theyre trying to set a tone
and tempo in practice. Were really happy
with that.
Not surprisingly, the same applies to
Burlingames defense, where the Panthers
return their entire secondary (including
Liam Martinez, a senior DB primed for a
good season), and both their outside line-
backers. The slew of injuries suffered by
Burlingame last year allowed a lot of juniors
to earn priceless playing time
Philipopoulos is hoping that pay dividends
this year.
On special teams, Seamus Gill takes over
the kicking duties.
Based on what happened to us last year,
were hoping this is an injury-free year for
us, Philipopoulos said. Its so important
to get off to a good start for the morale of
the team, for the direction of the program
and for our standing in CCS.

Bryan brothers, chasing
history, win at U.S. Open
NEWYORK Bob and Mike Bryan came
into last years U.S. Open without a title in
their previous four Grand Slam tournaments
an eternity by their standards.
Now theyve won four straight.
The twins gure the margin between those
two streaks is slim.
Its been going our way. Were thankful
for that, Bob said Thursday after they start-
ed the defense of their U.S. Open title with a
rst-round win in straight sets. Weve de-
nitely been on the other side of those tough,
tough losses.
They return to Flushing Meadows seeking
the rst mens double Grand Slam of the
Open Era, which began in 1968. Theyre
already the rst to hold all four major titles
at the same time.
The top-seeded Bryans beat Federico
Delbonis and Leonardo Mayer of Argentina
7-6 (1), 6-2 on Thursday. They didnt face a
break point in advancing to face Eric
Butorac and Frederik Nielsen.
Bob listed some of the close calls of the
past year. Two matches that went the full
three sets at the Australian Open. Trailing 4-
2 in the third-set tiebreaker in the French
nal. A ve-set match in the Wimbledon
semis and dropping the rst set of the nal
there.
We could easily have zero Slams out of
the last four, he said.

the fourth on sacrice ies by Daric Barton
and Eric Sogard.
Josh Donaldson hit a leadoff triple in the

the right-eld seats to make it 6-1.
As starter Bartolo Colon was in a position

ing wouldnt have lasted longer than 80
pitches in his rst game off the DL. He
comes out of the game, were in good posi-
tion, so he did his job.
Prince Fielder hit a solo homer in the sixth
off Jerry Blevins, who gave up another run
and retired only one batter to let the Tigers
pull within three runs.
Oaklands Dan Otero and Sean Doolittle
each followed with a 1 1-3 innings of score-
less relief, setting Balfour up to potentially
pitch for his 34th save in 35 chances. He
gave up a leadoff walk to Austin Jackson and
walked Fielder with two outs.
When you walk that leadoff guy like they
walked Jackson, a lot of times that spells
trouble, Tigers manager Jim Leyland said.
It did.
Balfour later got ahead 0-2 against
Martinez, but couldnt get a third strike
against him and that proved to be costly.
I was one strike away, you know?
Balfour asked. I came in and I thought I
made a pretty good pitch, I thought I got it
in, but he fought it and dumps it into center
eld. Hes a good hitter. Its frustrating, no
doubt.
Balfour gave up two hits, two walks and
four runs and got just two outs in the pivotal
inning that prevented the As from nishing
off a four-game sweep.
Its nice to win three games here when
youre looking at it coming in, Melvin
said, but certainly when youre in position
to win the fourth one, you want to win four.
ATHLETICS
SAN FRANCISCO The San Francisco
Giants have paid nearly $545,000 in back
wages and damages to 74 clubhouse and
administrative employees for violations of
minimum wage, overtime and record-keeping
laws, federal ofcials said Thursday.
Investigators found clubhouse employees
were working more hours than were recorded,
but receiving only a at pay rate that amount-
ed to less than the federal minimum wage of
$7.25 an hour, the U.S. Department of Labor
said.
The Giants were also accused of not paying
employees overtime.
I am encouraged that the Giants acted to
resolve this issue, but it was disappointing to
learn that clubhouse workers providing serv-
ices to high-paid sports stars werent making
enough to meet the basic requirements of min-
imum-wage law, Susana Blanco, the director
of the San Francisco ofce of the Labor
Departments Wage and Hour Division, said in
a statement.
The alleged violations occurred over a three-
year period, according to the Labor
Department.
Giants spokeswoman Staci Slaughter said
the team changed its clubhouse compensation
system before the Labor Departments inquiry.
She said labor ofcials did not account for
other sources of clubhouse employees
income, including tips and dues.
The San Francisco Giants worked coopera-
tively with the Department of Labor in con-
ducting a comprehensive review of our payroll
records to identify and address any possible
issues of concern, Slaughter said in a state-
ment. The matter was resolved and reported
on several months ago.
Labor Department ofcials said the team
also improperly classied a number of
employees as exempt from overtime pay,
including clubhouse managers and video oper-
ators at the major and minor league levels.
Slaughter said the dollar amount in that case
was a small portion of the $545,000.

Fords new Fiesta ST is one of the cheap-
est, thriftiest performance cars you can buy.
With its low price and commendable fuel
economy, this hot hatchback seems tailor-
made for the nancial uncertainty and high
gas prices that define the modern era.
Despite enjoying a 77 horsepower advan-
tage over garden variety Fiestas, the STs
combined EPArating of 29 mpg is just two
shy of the much slower base models num-
bers. City mileage is 26 mpg, and on
relaxed road trips, youll probably do better
than the 35 mpg highway rating.
The base price of just $22,195 includes
air conditioning, a Sony stereo with touch
screen and Bluetooth, and a host of comfort
and convenience items. Go crazy and order
yours with Recaro seats, heated mirrors,
power moon roof and GPS navigation, and
youll be looking at a sticker price that
doesnt quite crack the $26,000 mark. Add
premium wheels and a wild paint color such
as Green Envy or Molten Orange, and youre
spending $26,750 before tax and licensing
fees.
How is it on the road? The same low curb
weight that contributes to the STs great
fuel economy also makes it a blast to drive.
Its hard to get into trouble throwing the ST
into tight curves, because you dont have a
lot of mass with which to con-
tend.
The ST weighs
2 , 7 4 2
pounds,
wh i c h
is light
b y
todays
s t a n -
d a r d s .
That weight
certainly poses no chal-
lenge for the turbocharged, 1.6-liter
engine, which effortlessly propels the car
to 60 mph in under seven seconds. The
engine is rated at 197 horsepower and 202
pound-feet of torque.
Early reports from the motoring press
listed the European STs torque rating at 214
pound-feet. When asked whether the
American version had lost 12 pound-feet of
twisting ability to more restrictive U.S.
emissions controls, Ford Car
Communications Manager
Dan Mazei said this was not
the case. According
to Mazei, the
United States and
European Union
use different pro-
cedures for deter-
mining torque,
and theres no
difference in
actual output
between the
U.S. and
European versions of
the car.
The ST is only available with a six-speed
manual transmission, and the car features a
sophisticated torque vectoring system that
virtually eliminates torque steer.
As part of its EcoBoost Challenge trav-
eling road show, Ford recently invited car
enthusiasts to come to an autocross course
in Berkeley and og the Fiesta ST, along
with its big brother, the Focus ST.
Autocrossing is one of the safest forms of
racing, because drivers are typically on the
track one at a time, racing against the clock
instead of each other.
Participants received a crash course in
race driving from a veteran autocrosser. He
explained that it was best to brake before
entering turns, thus shifting the weight of
these front-wheel-drive cars forward, so
theyd have maximum traction with which
to pull themselves through the turns.
Racing the Fiesta ST on an autocross
course is an exhilarating, addictive experi-
ence. The STs excellent grip quickly
emboldens the amateur driver. Theres very
little body roll or understeer, and the car
Fords Fiesta ST packs a mighty punch

Were all being watched. All the time.
Thats a key message of Closed Circuit,
an entertaining and well-crafted if not over-
ly heart-stopping British conspiracy
thriller starring Eric Bana and Rebecca Hall.
Security cameras are everywhere, giving us
birds-eye glimpses of each character, and
reminding us that we, too, are never really
alone.
Such a concept is hardly shocking in
2013. After all, we write an email, and soon
an ad pops up telling us where to buy that
thing we sort of mentioned. And of course
weve learned in recent months not only of
secret government surveillance but even the
Boyfriend Tracker app for our phones.
Perhaps we really do live in a post-privacy
era.
But if its not a shocking concept, the
makers of Closed Circuit, an intelligent
lm directed by John Crowley, have cer-
tainly shown how creepy it can be. In the
London we see here one of the most
watched places in the world, we learn, in
terms of security cameras you never
know whos around the corner, or whos
been in your apartment, leaving a book
slightly askew on your shelf. You dont
know who that cab driver or dinner-party
companion truly is. You dont even know
which side your closest colleagues are on.
At least, such is life for Martin Rose
(Bana) and Claudia Simmons-Howe (Hall),
two lawyers who become ensnared in the
legal case surrounding a horrific terror
attack, the bombing of a bustling London
food market.
As the lm begins, were staring, tting-
l y, at footage from security cameras
eventually 15 of them. Each captures a
snippet of life on a busy November morn-
ing. In one frame, a truck shows up where
its not supposed to. In an instant, 120 peo-
ple are dead.

Post-privacy era thriller
By Jake Coyle
NEW YORK Rebecca Hall is con-
dently stepping toward center stage.
This year, there was her snappy,
unapologetic Sylvia in the Tom Stoppard
HBO miniseries Parades End, a revela-
tion of Halls dynamism and capacity for
boldness. There was her supporting role as
a scientist in Iron Man 3, an indoctrina-
tion to the Hollywood blockbuster. And,
now, theres the British thriller Closed
Circuit, a conrmation of her ascendance
to being a leading lady one bristling
with intelligence in any role.
I want to play women who are rich and
make mistakes and can be messy and ugly
as well as pretty, says Hall. I think thats
really an important service. That sounds
very grand. I dont mean it to sound grand.
In a recent interview over tea at an East
Village cafe, Hall is sharp, buoyant, funny
and seemingly energized by the work shes
getting. Shes still glowing from the
singing lines of Sylvia a once in a blue
moon part, she calls it a shift for her to
playing a more extroverted, forceful char-
acter: It was massively liberating, she
says.
Above all, she comes across, as she says
of herself, as restless and curious.
Emboldened, Rebecca Hall
moves toward center stage

SAN MATEO COUNTY BARRIS-
TERS STEP OUT OF THE COURT-
ROOM TO HELP THE COMMUNI-
TY. Many young San Mateo County
lawyers are looking for ways to help
their community outside of the law ofce
or the courtroom. These attorneys often
are active in The Barristers, those mem-
bers of the San Mateo County Bar
Association who are 36 years of age or
younger, or who have been in practice
for 10 years or less.
Barrister member Protima Pandey
said, The Barristers traditionally per-
form philanthropic services for the com-
munity and provide a support network
for new attorneys. Part of its community
service involves hosting a summer bar-
beque and a winter holiday dinner for the
families and children living at Haven
Family House, a homeless shelter in San
Mateo County. The Barristers also
organize three to four volunteer nights
at Second Harvest Food Bank in San
Mateo, where the members bag food,
sort food and help out with other tasks at
the food bank that feeds close to 1.5 mil-
lion people across the Northern
California Bay Area.
In addition to performing philan-
thropic services for the general San
Mateo County community, the
Barristers hold an Annual Judges
Luncheon that introduces new members
of the bar to the bench; offer new practi-
tioners a Meet and Greet that includes
a tour of the courthouse and a panel dis-
cussion with the judges; and present
continuing education programs that pre-
pare new attorneys for the practice of
law. The current Barristers Board mem-
bers are President Justin T. Berger, Vice
President Charli Hoffman, Treasurer
Jaclyn B. Smith, Secretary Paul
Wilkins, Jacquelyn Brown, Mirissa
McMurray, Daniel M. Hodsdon,
Roxanne Jen, Protima Pandey, Kenneth
Linthicum and Craig Crawford.

A MESSAGE FROM SAN MATEO
COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT PRE-
SIDING JUDGE ROBERT D.
FOILES. In a letter recently posted on
the website of the San Mateo County
Superior Court, Presiding Judge Robert
D. Foiles said: On behalf of the San
Mateo County Superior Court I wish to
thank the countless members of our
community who wrote letters, made
phone calls and lobbied the governor
and Legislature to restore funding to the
trial courts. Although the recently
passed state budget did not provide the
level of scal relief we had hoped, it will
save some jobs and provide access to
justice that would have otherwise been
lost. While we appreciate every penny,
it should be clear that the $60 million
partial funding restoration doesnt begin
to erase the damage done by $261 mil-
lion in current cuts to the trial courts
combined with the ongoing $214 mil-
lion reductions from previous years.
Sadly, the partial restoration is not
enough to save all of our current com-
missioners and employees. On July 15
our court again contracted. Three excel-
lent commissioners were released (and
one vacant commissioner position will
be held open), leaving only three to do
the job of seven. Operations at the San
Mateo Courthouse were temporarily sus-
pended and the South San Francisco
clerks ofce and three judicial ofcers
were relocated to Redwood City. In addi-
tion, seven valued court employees will
be released in September. Unfortunately,
such consolidation and further reduc-
tions are necessary to meet current budg-
et constraints. Over the past ve years
state cuts to the trial courts have neces-
sitated the reduction of 34 percent of our
workforce. The majority of our judiciary
and operations are now consolidated in
the Hall of Justice in Redwood City. This
new scal year will again present signif-
icant challenges for our court. The loss
of commissioners will contribute to an
already developing backlog.
Nevertheless, our court has faced these
challenges directly. We have reconciled
with hard scal choices, taken prudent,
appropriate actions, cut costs and uti-
lized technology and business process
reengineering to maximize access to jus-
tice, given our reduced resources. We
continue to be committed to providing
the best trial court services possible,
given our available resources. We hope
that Californias scal crisis is on the
mend. As state tax revenues increase and
California becomes more solvent, court
funding should increase. I urge everyone
to remain vigilant in reminding state
lawmakers that a strong economy relies
on a judicial system that works. Your
continued support is essential as we
strive to seek appropriate funding levels
for the court. With your help, I am con-
dent that we will restore essential justice
to San Mateo County.

Jon Voight worked for scale
for Midnight Cowboy role
By Lauri Neff
NEW YORK It was Jon Voights portrayal of male
prostitute Joe Buck in the 1969 lm Midnight Cowboy
that put him on the path to becoming an
acting legend. Now he says he was paid a
pittance for the part.
Voight says that he wanted the role so
badly he told his agent, I said, Tell
them Ill do this part for nothing. The
actor says to his surprise, they took me
at my word and they gave me minimum
for Midnight Cowboy. Voight spoke
Wednesday as he was promoting his lm
Getaway co-starring Ethan Hawke and
Selena Gomez that opens Aug. 30 and Ray Donovan, the
Showtime series he appears in opposite Liev Schreiber.
The Oscar- and Emmy-winning actor says the studio
United Artists even sent me a $14.73 coffee shop charge,
for meals his last day of shooting for the lm in Texas.
Voight also says he persuaded co-star Dustin Hoffman to try
out for the role of Enrico Ratso Rizzo after the two became
friends doing an off-Broadway show and that they audi-
tioned for the movie together.

lone surviving terror suspect has committed
suicide. Work pressure and all that. Martins
been tapped to replace him.
As for Claudia, shes the Special Advocate,
an additional defense lawyer designated by
British law to examine secret evidence to be
presented in closed session, away from the
public and the press. Even Martin cannot see
this evidence.
And hes not allowed to communicate with
Claudia. This is easy at rst, since the two
happen to be estranged lovers. Theyre ambi-
tious enough not to reveal their past romantic
entanglement and thus get removed from the
case. But if theyre found out, it could end
their careers.
And nothing goes according to plan, of
course. As the two are drawn together by cir-
cumstance as well as their obvious mutual
attraction this is a movie, remember, and
lawyers are extremely attractive in movies,
even in those odd British wigs they nd
themselves having to meet secretly, blatantly
defying their superiors.
Asmart script by Steven Knight keeps the
action humming along smoothly and con-
cisely if sometimes, it must be said, a bit
illogically.
And the two main actors are a pleasure to
watch. Bana seethes with frustration and
encroaching fear, and looks wonderful doing
it. As for Hall, this terric actress brings the
lm much of its humanity, striking that dif-
cult balance of competence and determination
tempered by a growing recognition of her
frailty.
A top-notch supporting cast features the
always excellent Ciaran Hinds as Martins
close colleague, Denis Moschitto as the
frightened defendant, Julia Stiles as an
American journalist whos perhaps digging
too deep, and, nally, the wonderful Jim
Broadbent as the Attorney General
Martins boss. Youve seen Broadbent as
Denis Thatcher and as Bridget Jones dad; now
watch him play an oily ofcial whose cordial
smile seems pasted on his face. Never has an
invitation to breakfast from the boss sounded
quite so unappealing.
Closed Circuit, a Focus Features release,
is rated R by the Motion Picture Association
of America for language and brief violence.
Running time: 96 minutes. Three stars out of
four.
CLOSED
Shes the real McCoy, says Closed
Circuit director John Crowley. Shes
hugely impressive and has massive range.
It felt like she would have the intellectual
prowess but also the emotionality to han-
dle the part.
In Closed Circuit, Hall plays the
Special Advocate appointed to jointly
defend a man accused of bombing a crowded
London marketplace. She and another
lawyer (Eric Bana), with whom she has a
romantic past, must work the case under
confidentiality and in a hearing closed to
the public a cloak of secrecy that masks
further injustice in the name of national
security.
The film has obvious contemporary rele-
vance, but it also relates personally to
Hall. The 31-year-old actress has seen her
life made the fodder of British tabloids for
her relationship with director Sam Mendes.
I find it slightly disturbing that privacy
means that youre guilty of something that
you have to hide, Halls says. That prob-
ably stems from the fact that I saw my par-
ents have their privacy invaded on by the
press when they were going through their
divorce when I was five or whatever. I was
very aware of the press always my dads
reviews.
Halls father, Sir Peter Hall, founded the
Royal Shakespeare Company and is a
renowned figure in British theater. Her
mother, Maria Ewing, was an acclaimed
opera singer from Detroit.
Of her childhood, Hall says: It was
mine. I dont know any different. It was
peripatetic and nomadic and bohemian and
exciting and at times unusual to the point
of wanting some type of stability. But
mostly, it was just a very creative, exciting
environment to be raised in.
As a child, Hall was immediately drawn
to acting: Her first professional part came
as an 8-year-old in her fathers TV adapta-
tion of Mary Wesleys The Camomile
Lawn. She later attended Cambridge for
two years, but then quit, wanting to do
something bold and decisive and not have
anything to fall back on.
With such an independent streak, she ini-
tially recoiled when her father offered her a
part in his production of George Bernard
Shaws Mrs. Warrens Profession in the
West End.
Then I changed my mind after six
months and realized I might as well get it
out of the way, she recalled. Either Ill be
mauled by the press and Ill never be
allowed to do this again, or theyll get
over the fact that Im Peter Halls daugh-
ter.
Hall won the Ian Charleson Award for the
performance. Years of theater and frequent
collaborations with her father followed.
She stared in Mendes Bridge Project, pro-
ductions of The Winters Tale and The
Cherry Orchard.
Movie roles also accumulated, most
notably the seemingly prudish tourist in
Woody Allens Vicky Cristina Barcelona
(which earned her a Golden Globe nomina-
tion) and Ben Afflecks love interest in
2010s heist film The Town.
Her approach to a part a process shes
somewhat protective of is carefully
plotted. She papers the walls of her trailer
with charts of her characters mental
states, scene to scene. She laughs that she
had a complete and utter meltdown when
her blueprints were temporarily cleaned
away while recently filming the science-
fiction thriller Transcendence, co-star-
ring Johnny Depp.
Hall also makes playlists for every char-
acter of what she thinks they would listen
to as a key to their emotions, (contempo-
rary classical and Scandinavian jazz trios
for her passionate but suppressed character
in Closed Circuit).
Of all the actresses Ive ever worked
with, she was the most clear, the most
thought-out, says Susanna White, director
of Parades End. Shed come in and kick
it straight away. It was thrilling to watch.
This December, Hall will make her
Broadway debut in Machinal, an expres-
sionistic 1928 play based on Ruth Snyder,
who was convicted of murdering her hus-
band. Describing the character, Hall drifts
into contemplation: the early wheels turn-
ing on the next character to map out.

After hearing some gossip, an upper-
class Englishwoman thinks her husband is
having an affair in Oscar Wildes Lady
Windermeres Fan.
However, appearances arent always what
they seem in California Shakespeare
Theaters elegant production of this witty
satire on Victorian morality.
Lady Windermere (Emily Kitchens) is
about to celebrate her 21st birthday and
receives a lovely fan from her husband, Lord
Windermere (Aldo Billingslea).
Theyve been happily married for two
years and have a 6-month-old son. Her hap-
piness is marred when an afternoon visitor,
the Duchess of Berwick (Danny Scheie),
tells her that Lord Windermere has been vis-
iting a fallen woman, Mrs. Erlynne (Stacy
Ross), and giving her large sums of money.
Conrming the outlays by ripping open
his locked checkbook, Lady Windermere
confronts her husband. He says that noth-
ing improper has happened and asks to her
invite Mrs. Erlynne to her birthday party
that night.
When she refuses, he writes the invita-
tion himself, resulting in even more unhap-
piness for his wife both then and at the
party. Afterward, the fan plays a large role
in the conclusion, but secrets remain unre-
vealed, allowing illusions to continue.
Wilde subtitled his work A Play About a
Good Woman. One would assume that the
good woman is Lady Windermere, but she
could also be Mrs. Erlynne, who does some
great kindnesses for the unknowing Lady
Windermere.
This polished Cal Shakes production is
directed by Christopher Liam Moore from
the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
It features an elegant set by Annie Smart
with complementary lighting by York
Kennedy and sound by Will McCandless.
The period costumes by Meg Neville reect
the rigidity of Victorian society with the
women constrained by bustles and corsets
under their beautiful dresses.
The cast is excellent, led by Kitchens as
an increasingly upset Lady Windermere and
Billingslea as her husband.
One telling aspect of their relationship
becomes clear in the nal scenes when he
often refers to his wife as my child, as if
he doesnt see her as an equal partner in
their marriage even though he loves her.
The rst act is highlighted by the irre-
pressible Scheie as the Duchess of Berwick.
Flouncing about with the duchesss socially
inept daughter (Rami Margron) in tow,
Scheie is absolutely hilarious.
Ross skillfully portrays the conicting
emotions of Mrs. Erlynne.
Sharp characterizations come from the
rest of the cast: L. Peter Callender, James
Carpenter, Dan Clegg, Nick Gabriel, Tyee
Tilghman and Bruce Carlton.
All of these elements add up to an enjoy-
able, thought-provoking theatrical experi-
ence.
Lady Windermeres Fan continues in the
Bruns Memorial Amphitheater, 100
California Shakespeare Way (off Highway
24), Orinda, through Sept. 8. For tickets

simply goes where you point it, with
minimal drama.
Abruptly get on the gas in the middle
of a tight turn, and youll discover that
you can use the throttle to rotate the
car around the turn. This is a capability
traditionally associated with rear-
wheel-drive cars with big engines.
Being able to do it in a tiny, front-
wheel-drive Fiesta is something of a
revelation.
Comparisons to the bigger, heavier,
more powerful Focus ST are inevitable.
That model has been on the market
since 2012, and it has legions of
admirers. When a Ford staffer was
asked which car was good for the best
track time, he said that after watching
many drivers of varying skill levels
drive both cars, he felt they were
roughly equivalent.
One area where the Focus ST trumps
its new sibling is on the straight-
aways. Mash the Fiesta STs gas pedal
into the oor when youre in second
gear, and youll be rewarded with eager,
delightful acceleration. Do the same
thing in a Focus ST, and youll experi-
ence a much stronger surge of speed
that is brutal and alarming.
The Fiesta also gives up a lot of
cargo hauling capacity to the Focus.
Even with the rear seatback folded for-
ward, the Fiesta simply cannot do a
convincing imitation of a box van the
way larger hatchbacks can. Rear seat
passengers wont enjoy much in the
way of legroom, but theyll have no
problem entering or exiting the ST,
because its only available as a ve-
door hatchback.
The situation up front is much better.
Although the Fiesta is almost a foot
shorter than the Focus, its only four
inches narrower, and its roof is only
1.2 inches closer to the ground.
Consequently, it doesnt feel like such
a small car when youre sitting in the
drivers seat.
The Fiesta also feels like a bigger car
in terms of its solidness. There are no
squeaks or rattles, the doors are satis-
fying to open and close, and you never
feel like somethings going to break if
you arent gentle with it. The ride is
rm, but never jarring, and the car
refuses to lose its composure when it
encounters potholes or freeway expan-
sion joints.
Mazei couldnt give an exact on-sale
date for the ST, but he said it should be
in showrooms by the end of the sum-
mer.

instead focus on more important issues
in the Nov. 5 election like public safe-
t y, revenue and affordable housing.
I really dont feel theres a story in
this, Schmidt said. My ballot desig-
nation was the same as the one
approved when I ran for county super-
visor.
Schmidt ran in the June 2012 pri-
mary.
Schmidt said he has several jobs
marketing, Realtor and auto sales.
Rankin said yesterday shes glad the
situation resolved with the stipula-
tion, or agreement, rather than a court
ruling.
Now we can get back to whats
important. This issue was about the
policies of the election, the process
and not about the campaign, Rankin
said.
Rankin, owner of a bail bonds busi-
ness, petitioned the San Mateo County
Superior Court last week to prevent
Vonderlinden from allowing Schmidt
to list Chairman Planning
Commission or Redwood City
Planning Commission Chair.
Election law holds that aside from
incumbents, elected officials and
judges, candidates can use no more
than three words to explain their cur-
rent professions, vocations or occu-
pations. Rankins attorney, Dennis
Scott Zell, said at the time of ling
these must be a means of livelihood or
income rather than a volunteer or
appointed position.
A Redwood City spokeswoman said
the city didnt object to the matters
resolution.
Although designations such as
commissioner have a history of
being accepted in our county and court
clarication would have been helpful,
the city is pleased that the candidates
came to an amenable solution, said
Sheri Costa-Batis, public communica-
tion and engagement manager, in an
email to the Daily Journal.
Schmidt and Rankin are among six
candidates vying for three seats on the
Redwood City Council in the Nov. 5
election. The others are incumbents
Jeff Gee and John Seybert, business
manager James Lee Han and nurse
Diane Howard who previously served
on the council.

ART&WINE
GameStop Expo offers the
taste of next-gen games
By Derrik J. Lang
LAS VEGAS Inside the massive complex on the Las
Vegas Strip that houses the glitzy Venetian casino and
Sands convention center, amid a soundscape of conicting
noises, thousands of players are mashing buttons while
staring intently at ickering screens.
Theyre not playing slots or video poker. No, theyre try-
ing their hand at upcoming games such as Titanfall and
Ryse.
This is the GameStop Expo. The worlds largest video
game retailer rst organized the gathering of its most pas-
sionate customers last year during its annual meeting of
store managers. While the Electronic Entertainment Expo
in Los Angeles is no longer open to the public, the
GameStop Expo offers everyday gamers a chance to preview
upcoming titles and hardware.
The expos more than 5,000 attendees waited in snaking
lines inside a cavernous Sands Expo hall early Wednesday to
test-drive Microsofts Xbox One and Sonys PlayStation 4,
the next-generation systems due out this November. Call
of Duty: Ghosts, Titanfall, Ryse: Son of Rome and
Battleeld 4 were among the most popular games on dis-
play.

the API. The overall API declined by two
points from last year, from 791 to 789,
although a number of student subgroups
saw gains.
School and student group targets are
set at 5 percent of the difference between
the school or student groups Base API
score (posted last May, along with
school ranks) and the statewide target of
800, with a minimum target of ve
points. All numerically signicant stu-
dent groups at a school must meet their
growth targets for a school to meet its
API growth target.
API scores varied from district to dis-
trict and school to school in San Mateo
County. For example, South San
Francisco Unied School District saw a
seven point drop overall, with scores
ranging from 769 to 913. Baden, its con-
tinuation high school, dropped from a
score of 506 last year to 415 this year.
Sunshine Gardens Elementary School
went down 40 points from last year.
Burlingame Elementary School
Districts scores ranged from 887 to 962,
while the San Mateo-Foster City
Elementary School Districts scores
ranged from 743 to 950 with Meadow
Heights Elementary School seeing a drop
of 48 points and North Shoreview
Elementary and Albion H. Horrall
Elementary seeing an increase of 31 and
38, respectively, from last year). The
Belmont-Redwood Shores Elementary
School District dropped six points, with
scores ranging from 865 to 938 with
Nesbit Elementary School seeing its
score rising 20 points from last year. In
the Hillsborough City Elementary
School District, scores ranged from 956
to 978, down six points overall from last
year. Redwood City Elementary School
Districts scores went down nine points,
while Millbrae Elementary School
Districts scores dropped three points.
Millbrae Elementary School Districts
scores ranged from 852 to 928. San
Bruno Park Elementary School Districts
scores dropped 17 points, with El
Crystal Elementary Schools scores tick-
ing down 32 points. San Carlos
Elementary School District saw a six
point drop in scores, with Heather
Elementary School seeing a drop of 36
points from last years scores.
The Sequoia Union High School
District went up three points and the San
Mateo Union High School Districts
scores bumped up six points overall,
with Capuchino High School ticking up
25 points from last year.
Our students and teachers continue to
perform well but there is room for more
growth, Scott Laurence, San Mateo
Union High School District superintend-
ent, said in a press release. The chal-
lenge of implementing the Common
Core in a rapidly changing world requires
that all of us keep up with the latest learn-
ing requirements as society and the job
market change.
The new Common Core stan-
dards shift to more project-
based and team collaborative
learning, with less time spent
on lectures and more of an
emphasis on students using
technology in classrooms.
New Smarter Balance testing,
which aligns with these new
standards, will go into effect
during the 2014-15 school
year. Since 1998, California
school districts spent a signi-
cant amount of time preparing
for STAR tests, which were
unpopular among some for a
variety of reasons.
Students passed the
California High School Exit
Exam at the highest rate since
the test was made a graduation
requirement in 2006. About
95.5 percent of the class of
2013 met the Exit Exam
requirement by the end of their
senior year, representing a 0.5
percentage point increase
since 2012.
County high school students
showed an overall increase of
two points in the percentage of students
scoring procient and above on the Exit
Exam. Eighty-eight percent of local test
takers passed the mathematics test, while
87 percent passed the English-language
arts, each score respectively four-per-
centage points above the state average.
Despite the very real challenges of
deep budget cuts and the ongoing effort
to shift to new, more demanding academ-
ic standards, our schools persevered and
students made progress, State
Superintendent Tom Torlakson said in a
press release. These results should give
us condence as we start the new school
year, and our efforts to make college- and
career-readiness a goal for every student
move into high gear.
The Exit Exam is administered every
year to ensure that students who graduate
from public high schools demonstrate
competency in reading, writing and
mathematics. Students who do not pass
the exam in grade 10 have two chances in
grade 11 and up to ve chances in grade
12 to pass the exam.
Were happy with the Exit Exam
results, said Nancy Magee, administra-
tor for Board Support and Community
Relations at San Mateo County Ofce of
Education. Its been very intentional
work at all grade levels to prepare stu-
dents for prociency for the exam.

DERS If you are considering bidding on
this property lien, you should understand
that there are risks involved in bidding at
a trustee auction. You will be bidding on
a lien, not on a property itself. Placing
the highest bid at a trustee auction does
not automatically entitle you to free and
clear ownership of the property. You
should also be aware that the lien being
auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you
are the highest bidder at the auction, you
are or may be responsible for paying off
all liens senior to the lien being auctioned
off, before you can receive clear title to
the property. You are encouraged to in-
vestigate the existence, priority, and size
of outstanding liens that may exist on this
property by contacting the county record-
er's office or a title insurance company,
either of which may charge you a fee for
this information. If you consult either of
these resources, you should be aware
that the lender may hold more than one
mortgage or deed of trust on the proper-
ty. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER
The sale date shown on this notice of
sale may be postponed one or more
times by the mortgagee, beneficiary,
trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section
2924g of the California Civil Code. The
law requires that information about trust-
ee sale postponements be made availa-
ble to you and to the public, as a courte-
sy to those not present at the sale. If you
wish to learn whether your sale date has
been postponed, and, if applicable, the
rescheduled time and date for the sale of
this property, you may call 1-800-281-
8219 or visit this Internet Web site

ments that are very short in duration or
that occur close in time to the scheduled
sale may not immediately be reflected in
the telephone information or on the Inter-
net Web site. The best way to verify
postponement information is to attend
the scheduled sale. DATED:

KINSHASA, Congo Fighting from the
war in eastern Congo that pits U.N. and
Congolese forces against rebels spilled over
into Rwanda on Thursday when 10 shells
landed in a Rwandan border town and a near-
by village, killing at least one person,
authorities said.
Rwanda, which the U.N. accuses of back-
ing the rebels in the neighboring nation of
Congo, blamed the Congolese military for
the shelling of its territory, saying it was
done with the intention of dragging them
into the conict.
But in New York, the United Nations said
the U.N. force can conrm ring incidents
into Rwandan territory originated from M23
positions from Aug. 22-29, and stressed
that it has not witnessed any Congolese
Armed Forces ring into Rwandan territory
during this period.
Rwandan Foreign Minister Louise
Mushikiwabo said a projectile fired by
Congolese forces at 9:45 a.m. killed a
woman and seriously injured her 2-month
old baby in a market in Rubavu town, locat-
ed 3 kilometers (2 miles) from the
Congolese border.
We have remained restrained for as long
as we can but this provocation can no longer
be tolerated. We have the capacity to deter-
mine who red at us and will not hesitate to
defend our territory. Rwanda has a responsi-
bility to protect its population,
Mushikiwabo said. She said a second projec-
tile landed at 11:20 a.m. in Rubavu, injuring
one person, and that eight landed at nearby
Busasamana village 10 minutes later.
Goma, a city of 1 million located on the
Rwandan border, briey fell to the M23
rebels last year, whose ranks are swollen
with undercover Rwandan soldiers, accord-
ing to repeated reports by the United
Nations Group of Experts. The soldiers from
Rwanda join the M23 in small groups, hik-
ing across footpaths into Congo. Rwanda
has also supplied them with arms and
sophisticated equipment, including night
vision goggles, the report said.
Meanwhile, combat continued in eastern
Congo on Thursday, and Congolese
Minister of Information Lambert Mende
conrmed that two shells had landed in two
separate neighborhoods in the provincial
capital of Goma overnight, killing one per-
son and wounding eight.
That brings to 13 the number of people
killed in Goma by shelling from rebel posi-
tions north of the city in just over a week,
ever since the Congolese army backed by
United Nations troops went on the offensive
against the M23 rebels.
Paluku Kavunga, a resident of Goma, said
he had seen the latest victim of the shelling:
I saw the body torn into pieces of a boy
who was 16 years old and who was killed last
night, he said. This morning I heard
another two detonations not far from Goma
and I also saw four helicopters from the
United Nations who were ying over the
city of Goma.
The fighting in recent days has been
among the most intense in the past year, and
comes after the United Nations Security
Council in March authorized the creation of
a special intervention brigade which, unlike
the other 17,000 peacekeepers stationed in
this vast nation, have a mandate allowing
them to go on the offensive against the M23
rebel group. The brigade, made up of soldiers
from Tanzania and South Africa, was created
in the wake of the criticism following the
fall of Goma to the rebels last year.
Reached by telephone, M23 President
Bertrand Bisimwa said that the ghting had
lasted until 11 p.m. on Wednesday, and
resumed at 4 a.m. Thursday. He said the U.N.
troops are mixed in with the Congolese sol-
diers.
The Congolese and the U.N. attacked us
with their infantry, with their combat tanks
and with their heavy weapons, he said.
They are mixed in together. On the front
line you can see them together. We especial-
ly see the U.N. soldiers in the tanks.
Pikkie Greeff, the national secretary of the
South African National Defense Union, a
military union which represents some of the
soldiers ghting in Congo, said that South
African Special Forces snipers have been
taking out rebels manning machine gun
posts, barriers and other positions. He also
said the South African and Tanzanian troops
are launching attacks from the air and hit-
ting the rebels with artillery shells.
