As the process of redrawing the
supervisorial district maps draws
to a close, members of the recom-
mending committee are sure of one
thing somebody isnt going to
be satised.
The hard part is someone is not
going to be happy. Its a no-win
situation, said Supervisor
Adrienne Tissier, who chairs the
District Lines
A d v i s o r y
C o mmi t t e e .
Even if we
leave it exactly
the same, some-
one will be
unhappy.
The county is
remapping its
districts to set-
tle a lawsuit
over its previous at-large system.
Voters last November also
changed the county charter to dis-
trict elections in which voters of
each specific area choose their
individual supervisor.
Prior to the election, San Mateo
County was the only one of the
states 58 counties to elect super-
visors countywide.
An independent nine-person
committee of public ofcials and
residents are resetting the bound-
aries and, as Tissier pointed out,
the process is a lot more compli-
cated than taking a crash course in
cartography.
Driving the concern are cities
afraid they will be divided into
multiple districts and, in a com-
pletely different corner, backers of
the lawsuit threatening action if
the county splits up minority
groups with the new lines.
The lawsuit, led in April 2011,
claimed the then-existing county-
wide system violated the
California Voting Rights Act by
diluting minority votes and pre-
cluding Latino and Asian candi-
dates from securing county ofce.
In the mix, the committee is left
needing to split the ve districts
as equally as possible by popula-
tion while also considering
socioeconomic and race factors.
Shared interests and voter dilut-
ing can also be included.

An extension of an independent
school focused on community,
integrated studies, creative arts
and social-emotional learning has
just begun its rst year.
The Nueva Schools new high
school is currently inhabiting an
old College of San Mateo science
facility, but will move into a Bay
Meadows space next school year.
Classes began Aug. 29.
The students are designing
their ideal high school communi-
t y, said Mark Schoeffel, assistant
head of the school and founding
head of the new high school,
called the Upper School. Students
like having the leadership oppor-
tunity in shaping and building
their community. This is a school
that believes in learning by
doing; a lab school.
The Nueva School, which has
prekindergarten through eighth
grade classes in its Hillsborough
location, was founded 45 years
ago. The permanent high school
location will be part of the citys

Prior to 1863, San Mateo was
just an unassuming stretch of land
where travelers would make a rest
stop on their journey between
more prominent Bay cities, such
as San Francisco and Monterey.
San Mateo had a history of
Catholicism dating back to 1776,
when a team of Spanish mission-
aries led by Juan Bautista de Anza
came to the land and held a mass in
St. Matthews name, creating the
citys namesake in the process. St.
Matthew was one of Jesus disci-
ples, whose gospel was particular-
ly dedicated to the Jewish commu-
nity, with many references to the
old testament. Before Jesus called
him, as the story goes, Matthew
was a tax collector suspected of
robbing people out of their
money.
There are four Catholic churches
in San Mateo, more than many
other cities of its size. But it was-
nt until 1863 that San Mateo
would have its first Catholic
parish, St. Matthew, built by
Father Denis Dempsey.

Breaking Bad,Modern
Family crowned at Emmys
LOS ANGELES Breaking Bad,
the brutal saga of an everymans ambi-
tion turned evil, captured its rst best
drama Emmy Award on Sunday, while
Modern Family won its fourth con-
secutive trophy for top comedy series.
I did not see this coming, said
Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan,
tipping his hat to competitor House of
Cards, the rst online contender for
top Emmy honors.
Jeff Daniels won the Emmy for best
drama series actor for his portrayal of
an idealistic TV anchorman in The
Newsroom, with Claire Danes captur-
ing top actress honors for her troubled
CIAagent in Homeland.
Daniels noted that hed also received
an age 50-plus acting honor from
AARP, which represents the interests
of older Americans.
With all due respect to the AARP,
this is even better, Daniels said.
Danes, who captured her second tro-
phy for the terrorism drama, paid trib-
ute to one of the series writers, Henry
Bromell, who died last March and who
received a writing Emmy posthumously
Sunday.
The ceremony often struck a melan-
choly note with extended tributes to
stars and other industry members who
died in the past year.
Well, this may be the saddest
Emmys of all time but we could not be
happier, said Modern Family execu-
tive producer Steve Levitan.
It also included upsets, defying the
conventional wisdom in several cate-
gories, including acting categories.
This just in. Nobody in America is
winning their Emmy office pool.
Surprises galore, host Neil Patrick
Harris.
Danes win ended the hopes that
Scandal best actress nominee Kerry
Washington would become the rst
African-American to win in the catego-
ry since Cicely Tyson in 1995 for
Sweet Justice.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus claimed her sec-
ond consecutive best comedy actress
award for her role as an ambitious polit-
ical second banana in Veep, with Jim
Parsons again claiming the top comedy
acting trophy for The Big Bang
Theory.
This is so much good fortune its
almost too much to bear, said Louis-
Dreyfus. Im very grateful to have the
opportunity to make people laugh. Its
a joyful way to make a living.
Parsons added to the awards he won in
2011 and 2010 for the role of a science
nerd.
My heart, oh my heart. I want you to
know Im very aware of how exceeding-
ly fortunate I am, he said.
Merritt Wever of Nurse Jackie won
the nights rst award, for best support-
ing actress in a comedy series, kicking
off the ceremony on a surprising note
and with a remarkably brief acceptance
speech.
Thank you so much. Thank you so
much. Um, I got to go, bye, Wever
told the audience after besting a eld
that included two-time winner Julie
Bowen of Modern Family.
Merritt Wever, best speech ever,
host Neil Patrick Harris said.
Backstage, she offered an explana-
tion: Im sorry I didnt thank anyone.
I was going to cry.
Tony Hale of Veep claimed the tro-
phy for best supporting actor in a com-
edy, a category that has been the prop-
erty in recent years of the men of
Modern Family.
Oh, man.... This is mindblowing,
mindblowing, Hale said.
Laura Linney was named best actress
in a miniseries or movie for The Big
C: Hereafter. The Voice won best
reality-competition program, and Tina
Fey won for writing 30 Rock.
Michael Douglas was honored as best
actor for his portrayal of Liberace in
Behind the Candelabra, besting his
co-star Matt Damon. The lm also cap-
tured a top trophy as best movie or
miniseries.
This is a two-hander and Matt,
youre only as good as your other
hand, Douglas said, then got really
racy: You want the bottom or the top?
Bobby Cannavale, from Boardwalk
Empire, won as best supporting actor
in a drama, and Anna Gunn from
Breaking Bad won the best actress
award in the same category.

O
n Oct. 30, 2007, the earth shook in
the Bay Area. We were having an
earthquake. This tremor reached a
5.6 on the now-famous Richter scale.
People in the Bay Area were jolted back to
reality, and many rst-timers were terried.
It created a lot of anxiety, but little damage
was done at this time.
In 1906, a much larger earthquake
occurred (8.3 Richter), with a great deal of
damage and loss of life. This quake moved
the earth in some places 20 to 30 feet.
Again in 1957, we had a good jolt, but this
was not excessive and did a minimum of
damage. In 1989, the earth moved again.
The 15-second Loma Prieta quake (6.9)
caused extensive damage through-out the
Bay Area, including the collapse of the
Cypress Freeway and a portion of the Bay
Bridge. The cost was over $6 billion. And it
cost 63 people their lives.
On Nov. 30, 1774, Captain Fernando
Riveras exploratory group stopped in a lit-
tle valley they named Canada de San Andres
Valley (later spelled Andreas) to honor their
patron saint, St. Andrew. Eventually this
valley was discovered to have been formed
by a tremendous fault that ran the length of
California the San Andreas Fault.
Planet Earth has been found to be neither
at nor static. The topography of the sur-
face has been ever-changing and it will
never cease its restless adjustments to time
and pressure. There is a seemingly endless
source of energy generated in the interior of
the earth in the form of heat which slowly
works its way to the surface by convection.
In its movement, it creates a number of geo-
logic phenomena that result in a multitude
of surface congurations and features. One
of mans greatest insights into the under-
standing of nature has crystallized only
recently when it was understood that Earths
crust is not immovable, but has a number of
large and small plates that move and have
been moving since the Earth formed. Some
of this heat is responsible for huge slabs of
crust to constantly be shifting into new
positions. They meet resistance that has to
be overcome and this has created additional
pressure and movements. The numbers of
plates that move on the surface of our globe
have produced startling geologic events and
social reactions on the western edge of our
continent. The study of these actions, called
Plate Tectonics, is quite new and still evolv-
i ng.
As the Pacific Plate moved eastward
against the stable Northern American Plate,
the Pacic Plate ducked under the North
American Plate in the California region and
the ensuing slide scraped off some of the
millions of years of accumulated debris
nearer to the surface. This debris accumulat-
ed above the water level heaped up uneven-
l y, forming a barrier to the oceans force and
becoming what is called the Coast Range. It
is a jumbled-up mess of sandstone and shale
that formed on the oceans oor and is called
greywacke by geologists. The present max-
imum height of it around the Bay is about
4,000 feet at Mount Hamilton, Mount
Diablo and Mount Tamalpais. A few miles
eastward from the Pacic Ocean its inuence
diminishes and a at, dry valley many miles
wide occurs. This valley is formed from
eroded rocks that washed down from the
Sierra Nevada Mountains to the east. As
soon as this scraped-off debris was lifted
above sea level, the water from the atmos-
phere in the form of rain and fog started
eroding the range.
The Coast Range forms a great barrier to

Police seek witnesses to
crash that injured mother
on bicycle with toddler
Police in South San Francisco are asking
for the publics help in investigating a
crash that injured a woman on a bicycle with
her 4-year-old daughter last week.
The 47-year-old was towing her daughter

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND As another potential strike
looms, Bay Area Rapid Transit ofcials are
preparing other ways to get commuters to
work, including possibly allowing man-
agers to drive a limited number of trains.
BART management and labor leaders
resumed contract negotiations last week,
but little progress has been made on key
issues, including wages, pensions and
health care benets.
Theyre scheduled to return to the bargain-
ing table Monday.
If no deal is reached, employees could
strike as early as Oct. 11, when a cooling-
off period ordered last month by Gov. Jerry
Brown expires.
BART workers walked off the job for four
and a half days in early July, leading to
major trafc jams throughout the Bay Area.
Transportation ofcials say a strike in mid-
October would cause more disruption
because fewer people are on vacation.
There was considerable pain inicted on
the region in July ... That pain is going to
be much worse in October, John Goodwin,
a spokesman for the Metropolitan
Transportation Commission, told the San
Francisco Chronicle.
The commission is scheduled to meet
Wednesday to discuss contingency plans to
handle another strike at BART, which car-
ries about 400,000 passengers a day. Likely
moves include expanding bus and ferry
service, adding carpool lanes and encourag-
ing people to telecommute or commute dur-
ing off-peak trafc hours.
BART ofcials are considering allowing
managers who were previously certified
train operators to run a small number of
trains if workers go on strike.
Last week, the agency moved two of its
rail cars to a Mare Island warehouse to re-
familiarize about a dozen certied managers
and instruct other managers who are in
classroom training, BART spokeswoman
Alicia Trost said.
We have to prepare for a possibly very
long strike, Trost told KTVU-TV. We are
talking about very limited service just
running from the East Bay a couple trains
into the city.
Union leaders say that move would endan-
ger riders because there arent enough man-
agers to operate trains, manage the stations
and perform necessary maintenance while
doing their own jobs.

By Amy Taxin
SANTA ANA Aracely Garrido returned
to her native Guatemala last month to bury
one of 13 family members who disappeared
during the countrys decades-long civil war
and was identied years later through DNA
from surviving relatives.
The 55-year-old tax preparer now living
in a Los Angeles suburb is among a small
group of Guatemalan immigrants in the area
who have given DNA samples in hopes of
nding loved ones who vanished during the
ghting from 1960 to 1996. Many more
soon will be able to do the same as forensic
experts who run a Guatemalan lab that
matches victims remains to the living are
expanding their outreach to Guatemalans
abroad.
Being able to nd him was at least some
relief, Garrido said of her cousin, a con-
struction worker and political activist who
she said was seized by authorities along
with his teenage son.
She hopes the Forensic Anthropology
Foundation will locate the remains of her
other missing relatives, many of whom
were targeted by the government because
they were politically active.
It is important to clarify the past, to try
to nd out the truth. That will at least give
us a personal sort of peace, she said.
For the last two decades, the foundation
has exhumed the remains of victims from
mass graves. More recently, it has searched
for victims of forced disappearances car-
ried out by wartime governments by match-
ing DNA from the remains of unidentied
victims found in military installations and
cemeteries with samples from living rela-
tives.
More than 7,000 survivors have given
DNA samples, including about 20
Guatemalans in Los Angeles when founda-
tion members made a brief trip here last
year, said Fredy Peccerelli, the organiza-
tions executive director and a Guatemalan
who grew up in New York.
The move to expand efforts abroad comes
as the Guatemalan conflict takes center
stage in a California courtroom. The trial
and its intersection with the DNA program
underscore that while the conict that killed
an estimated 200,000 people has ended, the
effects of the war endure for survivors.
While ex-military personnel have been
convicted in recent years in Guatemala of
atrocities committed during the war, one of
the countrys former soldiers is preparing to
stand trial in the U.S. on charges of lying
on his American citizenship application
about his role in one of the eras most vio-
lent episodes a massacre that killed more
than 200 people in the village of Dos Erres
in 1982.
One of the key witnesses for the U.S.
governments case against former special
forces commander Jorge Sosa is Oscar
Ramirez, a Guatemalan immigrant living in
Framingham, Mass., who learned two years
ago through the DNAprogram that he
had been seized as a toddler and raised by
one of Sosas comrades after nearly his
entire family was killed in Dos Erres.
Sosa, 55, was arrested in Canada last year
and extradited to the U.S. to face charges of
lying on his naturalization application. His
trial is scheduled to begin on Tuesday in
Riverside, where he lived.
Federal prosecutors say Sosa was one of
the commanders of a special patrol that
descended upon Dos Erres on Dec. 7, 1982,
and oversaw the killings. Men, women and
children were bludgeoned with a sledgeham-
mer, their bodies falling into a well. Sosa
red a rie and threw a grenade into the well
to kill any victims who were still alive,
according to federal court lings.
While he is not being tried for war crimes,
the case is expected to include testimony
from former members of the Guatemalan
special forces and survivors of the conict,
including Ramirez.
Prosecutors declined to comment on the
case.
Sosas lawyer, Shashi Kewalramani, said
the case isnt about what happened in
Guatemala but whether his client knew he
was accused of a crime when he applied to
become an American.
The only crime he has been charged with
in the United States is lying on an applica-
tion, he said.
Sosa sought asylum in the U.S. after ee-
ing Guatemala in 1985 and was denied,
heading to Canada instead. He later
obtained a green card after marrying a U.S.
citizen, and applied to naturalize in 2007.
Sosa said he was in another town at the
time of the Dos Erres massacre, helping
build a school and organize sporting
events.
In a letter published by the investigative
journalism nonprot ProPublica, Sosa said
he disclosed his membership in the
Guatemalan military when he sought asy-
lum in the U.S.
I desperately need people to know that I
have NOT committed a crime nor do I have a
criminal mind, Sosa wrote in the letter
from a prison in Canada, where he is also a
citizen. His brother, Hugo Sosa, veried the
account.
If convicted of making a false statement
and procuring naturalization unlawfully,
Sosa also could face up to 15 years in
prison. Federal prosecutors also want to
strip Sosa of his American citizenship,
something that could pave the way for his
return to Guatemala.
Aspokesman for Guatemalan prosecutors
says they will seek to extradite Sosa to face
charges for crimes against humanity.
While the trial will bring Guatemalas
gruesome past to an American courtroom,
50 miles away in Los Angeles, Peccerelli
will be continuing his work to bring closure
and answers to survivors.
He hopes Ramirez, who will also speak
with community members about the DNA
program, can help win the trust of
Guatemalans still scarred by the war. Since
learning his true identity, Ramirez met fam-
ily he never knew he had including his
father, who was not in Dos Erres the day of
the massacre and obtained political asy-
lum to stay legally in the U.S., something
his lawyer, Scott Greathead, said might be a
possibility for other survivors.

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

LAGUNA BEACH Some of
surngs biggest names arent just
catching waves. Theyre also talk-
ing about making them.
Surf parks massive pools
with repeating, articial waves
are the latest buzzword in the surf
community, as everyone from top
athletes to retailers look for ways
to expand the sport, boost sales
and create a standardized way to
train that could help surng earn
an Olympic pedigree.
Mother Nature stipulates that
surfing only can occur where
waves can be born. When man
takes his hand to forming the
waves, it unlocks the potential of
surng anywhere. And that is the
most powerful thing, said Doug
Palladini, president of the Surf
Industry Manufacturers
Association.
This month, dozens of industry
leaders, surfers and investors met
in Laguna Beach in Southern
California for the rst annual Surf
Park Summit to spark interest in a
business proposition that could
breathe life into a sport that strug-
gled during the recession.
About 50 percent of independ-
ent, mom-and-pop surf retailers
the heart and soul of surf culture
shut down worldwide during the
recession and those that survived
face an increasingly saturated mar-
ket that is limited by geography.
Enter the dream surf park, a 2-
acre wave pool capable of generat-
ing anything from tiny beginner
ripples to 10-foot barrels every
minute, with every wave the same.
Customers would pay by the num-
ber of waves to learn the sport or
refine their technique and learn
new tricks.
The prospect has surf board
manufacturers and apparel retailers
salivating at the thought of new
markets for surf gear and clothing
in land-locked places like Kansas
or Nebraska. But parks would also
be prime real estate for sponsored
surng competitions that would
draw both eyeballs and dollars.
At the summit, speakers tossed
out tantalizing what-ifs: Anation-
al surng league, much like the
NBA, with feeder teams and city
afliations. Live, televised surf-
ing competitions staged with pre-
dictable waves in a massive surf
arena.
Some even believe surf parks
could propel the sport into the
Olympics, a dream that has so far
proven elusive.
Without man-made waves,
there will not be Olympic surf-
ing, said Fernando Aguerre, pres-
ident of the International Surng
Association. Its the ultimate
wave-sharing that you can imag-
ine.
Olympics aside, everyday
surfers who already live near the
beach say even they would use the
parks as a supplement to the
ocean, to rene their skills on a
consistent wave or get in a few
rides when the natural surf is bad.
In a park, you can always get in
a perfect position, the wave will
always be perfect and you can real-
ly work on your surfing, said
Cliff Char, 54, whos been surng
15 years near his hometown of
Seal Beach.
Detractors, however, worry that
in the rush to surf parks, the sport
will lose its soul.
Betting on articial waves, they
say, will sanitize and commercial-
ize a pastime the most passionate
surfers describe as a solitary,
rugged pursuit where athletes and
nature commune. They say the
sport will lose sight of its culture
and history if the next generation
learns to rip on chlorinated water.
The problem is, surf culture i s
about so much more than just rid-
ing a wave. It is about having a
genuine respect and connection
with the ocean, said Zac Heisey, a
surfer and freelance writer who
addressed the debate on his blog,
In The Name of Surng.
Surf industry hopes surf parks will expand sport
Surf parks massive pools with repeating, articial waves are the lat-
est buzzword in the surf community.
LOS ANGELES The family of a
missing California college student
holds out hope for his return and con-
tinues to search for clues after the 19-
year-old vanished late last month
while driving from Northern
California to his parents home in
Orange County.
Bryce Laspisas SUVwas found on its
side at Castaic Lake, 40 miles northwest
of Los Angeles, triggering an intensive
air, ground and underwater search. The
rear windshield was smashed but
Laspisas wallet, laptop and other items
were found in the vehicle.
Laspisas father drives to the lake
almost every day in search of clues.
Every day you go through the whole
scenario of the 85 possible things that
couldve caused it and the three to four
conclusions from success to failure in
terms of nding him alive, Michael
Laspisa told the Los Angeles Times.
After the Sierra College sophomore
was reported missing, the Los Angeles
County Sheriffs Department launched
a weekslong search. Scuba divers
checked the lake while deputies using
dogs and helicopters combed nearby
trails.
At one point, a burned body was
spotted several miles from the wrecked
SUV, but it turned out to be an unrelat-
ed homicide victim.

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama arrives at the
United Nations on Monday with
diplomatic openings, the result of
help from unexpected partners, on
three fronts: Iran, Syria, and elu-
sive peace between Israel and the
Palestinians.
All three pathways are fraught
with potential pitfalls and hinge
on cooperation from often unreli-
able nations. Obama also risks
being branded as naive and mis-
guided if the efforts fail, particu-
larly in Syria, where hes used the
prospect of diplomacy to put off a
military strike in retaliation for a
c h e m i c a l
weapons attack.
Still, the
recent develop-
ments mark a
signicant shift
on a trio of
issues that have
long proved
problematic for
Obama at the
United Nations. His former
Iranian counterpart used the annu-
al U.N. General Assembly meet-
ings, which open Monday, as a
venue for fiery, anti-American
speeches. Failed Middle East
peace talks led the Palestinians to
seek statehood recognition at the
U.N. despite staunch American
objections. And the Obama admin-
istration has been stymied on
Syria at the U.N. Security Council
due to intractable Russian opposi-
tion.
But this year, Iran has a new
leader who is making friendly
overtures toward Obama, raising
the prospect of a meeting at the
United Nations. U.S.-brokered
peace talks between the Israelis
and Palestinians have resumed
though on an uncertain course.
And Russia has joined with the
U.S. on a diplomatic deal to strip
Syria of its chemical weapons.
Joel Rubin, a former State
Department official who now
works at the nonproliferation
organization Ploughshares, said
the confluence of events under-
scores an often frustrating aspect
of diplomacy.
You never know when its
going to break, said Rubin. He
said Obamas biggest test now is
to recognize if opportunities
morph into stalling tactics.
Obamas advisers cast the sud-
den signs of progress as an out-
growth of the presidents long-
standing preference for resolving
disputes through diplomacy and,
in the case of Iran and Syria, with
pressure built up through econom-
ic sanctions and the threat of mil-
itary action.
He said wed be open to diplo-
macy, wed pursue engagement,
but that there would be pressure if
Iran failed to take that opportuni-
t y, said Ben Rhodes, Obamas
deputy national security adviser.
And on Syria, Rhodes said it was
the credible threat of a U.S. mili-
tary strike that opened the door
for this diplomacy.
Aides say Obama will address
developments on Iran, Syria and
Middle East peace in his speech to
the U.N. on Tuesday. The issues
will also be at the forefront of
some of the presidents bilateral
meetings with world leaders,
including a sit-down with
Palestinian Authority President
Mahmoud Abbas and Lebanese
President Michel Suleiman, whose
country is burdened by the ow of
refugees from neighboring Syria.
For Obama, diplomatic openings on 3 fronts
Barack Obama
By Nedra Pickler
WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama on Sunday memori-
alized the victims of the
Washington Navy Yard shooting
by calling for a transformation in
the nations gun laws to address an
epidemic of gun violence, saying,
Theres nothing inevitable about
it.
Reprising his role of the
nations consoler in chief after yet
another mass shooting, Obama
said Americans should honor the
victims of last Mondays shooting
by insisting on a change in gun
laws. It ought to obsess us,
Obama said.
Sometimes I fear there is a
creeping resignation that these
tragedies are just somehow the
way it is, that this is somehow the
new normal. We cannot accept
this, Obama said.
He said no other advanced nation
endures the kind of gun violence
seen in the United States, and
blamed mass shootings in America
on laws that fail to keep guns out
of the hands of criminals and dan-
gerous people.
Whats different in America is
its easy to get your hands on a
gun, he said. He acknowledged
the politics are difcult, a lesson
he learned after failing to get
expanded background checks for
gun buyers through the
Democratic-controlled Senate this
spring.
And thats sometimes where the
resignation comes from: the sense
that our politics are frozen and that
nothing will change. Well, I can-
not accept that, Obama said. By
now, though, it should be clear
that the change we need will not
come from Washington, even
when tragedy strikes Washington.
Change will come the only way it
ever has come, and thats from the
American people.
Obama joined military leaders in
eulogizing the 12 victims killed
in last Mondays shooting, speak-
ing from the parade grounds at the
Marine Barracks, a site personally
selected by Thomas Jefferson
because of its close marching dis-
tance to the Navy Yard.
The memorial service came on
the rst day of fall, which shone
brightly in Washington, with sun
sparkling off the instruments
being played by the Navy Band
and the gold dress uniform buttons
worn by so many in the crowd.

WASHINGTON Even before a
budget deadline arrives, leaders
from both parties are blaming
each other and some
Republicans are criticizing their
own for a government shut-
down many are treating as
inevitable.
The top Democrat in the House
says Republicans are legislative
arsonists who are using their
opposition to a sweeping health
care overhaul as an excuse to close
governments doors. Aleading tea
party antagonist in the Senate
counters that conservatives should
use any tool available to stop the
Affordable Care Act from taking
hold. President Bill Clintons
labor secretary says the GOP i s
willing to risk the entire system
of government to get your way,
while the House speaker who over-
saw the last government shutdown
urged fellow Republicans to
remember this is not a dictator-
ship.
The unyielding political postur-
ing on Sunday comes one week
before Congress reaches an Oct. 1
deadline to dodge any interrup-
tions in government services.
While work continues on a tempo-
rary spending bill, a potentially
more devastating separate deadline
looms a few weeks later when the
government could run out of
money to pay its bills.
This is totally irresponsible,
completely juvenile and, as I
called it, legislative arson. Its
just destructive, House
Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi
said in an interview that aired
Sunday.
The Republican-led House on
Friday approved legislation
designed to wipe out the 3-year-
old health care law that President
Barack Obama has vowed to pre-
serve. But the Houses move was
more a political win than a meas-
ure likely to be implemented.
Across the Capitol, Senate
Democratic Leader Harry Reid said
he would keep the health law intact
despite Republicans attempts, in
his words, to take an entire law
hostage simply to appease the tea
party anarchists.
Blame already being cast over budget fight
WASHINGTON Stung by pub-
lic unease about new details of
spying by the National Security
Agency, President Barack Obama
selected a panel of advisers he
described as independent experts
to scrutinize the NSAs surveil-
lance programs to be sure they
werent violating civil liberties
and to restore Americans trust.
But with just weeks remaining
before its first deadline to report
back to the White House, the
review panel has effectively been
operating as an arm of the Office
of the Director of National
Intelligence, which oversees the
NSA and all other U.S. spy
efforts.
The panels advisers work in
offices on loan from the DNI.
Interview requests and press state-
ments from the review panel are
carefully coordinated through the
DNIs press ofce. James Clapper,
the intelligence director, exempt-
ed the panel from U.S. rules that
require federal committees to con-
duct their business and their meet-
ings in ways the public can
observe. Its nal report, when its
issued, will be submitted for White
House approval before the public
can read it.
Even the panels ofcial name
suggests its run by Clappers
office: Director of National
Intelligence Review Group on
Intelligence and Communications
Technologies.

NAIROBI, Kenya Kenyans
military said late Sunday it had
rescued most of the remaining
hostages held by al-Qaida-linked
militants in an upscale Nairobi
mall after launching a major oper-
ation to end a two-day standoff
that had already killed 68 people.
The military assault, which
began shortly before sundown,
came as two helicopters circled the
mall, with one skimming very
close to the roof. Aloud explosion
rang out, far larger than any previ-
ous grenade blast or gunre vol-
ley.
Kenyan police said on Twitter
that a MAJOR assault by had
started to end the bloody siege.
This will end tonight. Our
forces will prevail. Kenyans are
standing rm against aggression,
and we will win, Kenyas
National Disaster Operation
Centre said on Twitter.
Kenya Defence Forces later said
it had rescued most hostages and
had taken control of most of the
mall.
Many of the rescued hostages
mostly adults were suffering
from dehydration, Col. Cyrus
Oguna, a military spokesman,
told The Associated Press. Oguna
refused to release the number of
hostages rescued or those still
being held. He said some of the
attackers had most probably
been killed in the operation,
which began in the morning and
culminated in the evening.
The assault came about 30 hours
after 10 to 15 al-Shabab extrem-
ists stormed the mall Saturday
from two sides, throwing grenades
and ring on civilians.
Loud exchanges of gunfire
emanated from inside the four-
story upscale mall throughout
Sunday. Kenyan troops were seen
carrying in at least two rocket pro-
pelled grenades. Al-Shabab mili-
tants reacted angrily to the heli-
copters on Twitter and warned that
the Kenyan military action was
endangering hostages.
Kenyan ofcials said they would
do their utmost to save hostages
lives, but no ofcials could say
precisely how many hostages
were inside. Kenyas Red Cross
said in a statement citing police
that 49 people had been reported
missing.
Ofcials did not make an explic-
it link but that number could give
an indication of the number of
people held captive.
Kenyas Red Cross said the
death toll on Sunday rose to 68
after nine bodies were recovered in
a joint rescue mission.
A United States State
Department spokeswoman con-
demned the despicable massacre
of innocent men, women and chil-
dren. U.S. law enforcement, mili-
tary and civilian personnel in
Nairobi were providing advance
and assistance as requested by
Kenya, spokeswoman Marie Harf
said.

on Saturday killing at least 68 people, including children, and sending

PESHAWAR, Pakistan Apair
of suicide bombers blew them-
selves up amid hundreds of wor-
shippers at a historic church in
northwestern Pakistan on Sunday,
killing 78 people in the deadliest-
ever attack against the countrys
Christian minority.
Awing of the Pakistani Taliban
claimed responsibility for the
bombing, raising new questions
about the governments push to
strike a peace deal with the mili-
tants to end a decade-long insur-
gency that has killed thousands of
people.
The Jundullah arm of the Taliban
said they would continue to target
non-Muslims until the United
States stopped drone attacks in
Pakistans remote tribal region.
The latest drone strike came
Sunday, when missiles hit a pair of
compounds in the North
Waziristan tribal area, killing six
suspected militants.
The attack on the All Saints
Church, which wounded 141 peo-
ple, occurred as worshippers were
leaving after services to get a free
meal of rice offered on the front
lawn, said a top government
administrator, Sahibzada Anees.
There were blasts and there was
hell for all of us, said Nazir John,
who was at the church in the citys
Kohati Gate district along with at
least 400 other worshippers.
When I got my senses back, I
found nothing but smoke, dust,
blood and screaming people. I saw
severed body parts and blood all
around.
Survivors wailed and hugged one
another in the wake of the blasts.
The white walls of the church,
which first opened in the late
1800s, were pockmarked with
holes caused by ball bearings con-
tained in the bombs to cause max-
imum damage. Blood stained the
oor and the walls. Plates lled
with rice were scattered across the
ground.
The attack was carried out by two
suicide bombers who detonated
their explosives almost simulta-
neously, said police ofcer Shafqat
Malik.
The 78 dead included 34 women
and seven children, said Interior
Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali
Khan. Another 37 children were
among the 141 wounded, he said.

TEHRAN, Iran On the eve of a
landmark trip to attend the U.N.
General Assembly, Irans president
offered Sunday his most expansive
vision that a deal to settle the
impasse over Tehrans nuclear pro-
gram could open doors for greater
cooperation on regional flash
points such as the Syrian civil war.
The linkage of Middle East
affairs and broad-stroke rhetoric
by Hasan Rouhani served as some-
thing of a final sales pitch to
President Barack Obama ahead of
the U.N. gathering, where
Rouhani hopes to garner pledges
from Western envoys to restart
stalled nuclear negotiations as a
way to ease painful economic
sanctions.
Rouhani also must try to sell his
policies of outreach to skeptical
Iranian hard-liners, including the
powerful Revolutionary Guard.
Failure to return from New York
with some progress either
pledges to revive nuclear talks or
hints that the U.S. and its allies
may consider relaxing sanctions
could increase pressures on
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei to withdraw his appar-
ent backing for Rouhanis over-
tures with Washington.
It adds up to a high-stakes week
ahead for Rouhani in his rst gath-
ering with Western leaders since
his inauguration last month.

OPINION 9
Laurel Way development
threatens open space
Editor,
In 1966, my husband and I bought a
little, forlorn house at the end of a
dirt road, surrounded by heavily
wooded, rolling open land.
Over the years, the Redwood City
Council repeatedly rejected proposals
to develop the site. I attended meet-
ing after meeting where the council
said no; the area was too fragile for
development.
That made sense. Redwood Citys
General Plan and California law pro-
tects natural, open space. Does this
City Council think that cutting down
all the trees, putting in a two-level
road, and 16 large houses will be an
improvement?
The hillsides are steep constant-
ly moving, and there is a creek that
runs through the site, eroding the
hillsides. People living below the
site have reason to fear that land-
slides will result from the massive
digging, grading and ll this project
requires. How would nearby residents
survive ve years of continuous con-
struction? I would be forced out of my
home by constant noise and dust, not
to mention the lack of access during
construction of the road.
Turning a natural open site that can
be restored into a crowded subdivision
would constitute a failure of municipal
government that is supposed to serve
and protect its residents.
At my age (Ill turn 90 in a few
weeks), the destruction wrought by this
project will be more than I can bear.
After 47 years, Ive became intertwined
with the little house, the tall trees, the
beautiful hillsides and even the deer.
And, now I may have to leave it.

Editor,
If there is one San Mateo council-

is 100 percent on top of every issue.
His leadership has shown crystal

that Mayor David Lim stands with
him on many issues. Its a great time
for our city to have such dedicated
ofcials. Please support them with a

Speiers reaction to
House food stamp bill
Editor,
The Sept. 20 edition of the San
Mateo Daily Journal shows U.S. Rep.
Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, at her
irrational best (Speier blasts food
stamp vote). She is on a rant decry-
ing an attempt by Republicans to
slow the explosive growth of the
food stamp program, which has
grown from 26 million recipients in
2007 to an incredible 47 million
now. Her attack on this modest legis-
lation points to alleged bad behavior
by Republican congresspersons who
use taxpayer dollars to pay for their
meals when traveling abroad. She
implies that this is wrong and that
the offenders are Republicans only. If
you dont like the congressional
behavior, then deal with it. In the
meantime, please do not point to
alleged bad behavior of congressper-
sons to justify other questionable
programs.
It must be that in Ms. Speiers
world, there is no limit to govern-
ment subsidies whatsoever and any-
one who even suggests that there is a
limit can be declared evil. That kind
of foolish rhetoric in this era of high
taxes with huge government debts is
outdated and a throwback to the 60s.
She is correct, though, when she
acknowledges that she is a member of
the least productive Congress in his-
tory. Can you recall any piece of leg-
islation that dealt with our out-of-
control spending without raising
taxes which received even one
Democratic vote? If Ms. Speier and
her fellow Democrats would consider
the good of the country instead of
marching lockstep to their party
bosses for a change, this county and
country would be making progress.

New trees on
Burlingame Avenue
Editor,
The portion of Burlingame Avenue
nearing completion is or was
looking great until today, with the
appearance of the new trees being
planted. They are the sorriest excuse
for specimen trees Ive ever seen,
looking like dense shrubs with helter-
skelter branches ascending straight
up and perched on top of long poles.
The label says they are Zelkovas,
which are in the elm family, and
should have beautiful, lateral-spread-
ing branches, like the one that
resided in and extended majestically
over half of the Chiappelones
Burlingame Garden Center for years.
One can only hope that with major
professional pruning they will even-
tually overcome their early formative
years of neglect.

The Seattle Times
As a good rule of thumb, assume
any information posted on social
media will be harvested like a veal
calf headed for sale on a digital town
square.
Recently, the Federal Trade
Commission (FTC) reminded us all of
that pipeline in announcing it was
looking into Facebooks new privacy
policies.
Those polices unveiled just
before Labor Day weekend, when pre-
sumably few would be paying atten-
tion made clear that Facebook con-
siders signing up for its service is de-
facto consent to resell users data to
advertisers.
The FTC, on the other hand, consid-
ers that a potential breach of a 2011
regulatory agreement, which requires
Facebook to get explicit consent
from users. Facebook, which has a
troubling record of eroding privacy
standards, looks like it tried to slip
one past consumers.
Thank goodness someone is look-
ing, because the vast majority of con-
sumers are not. The boilerplate
legalese of online contracts is
scrolled past, in search of the quick
Agree button.
Facebook isnt alone. Since 2011,
Google, MySpace and Path social-
networking sites all have settled FTC
charges that the companies duped
consumers regarding privacy poli-
cies.
Adigital thumbprint is easily left
but nearly impossible to erase.
It will get even more difcult to
erase with advances in facial-recogni-
tion software, which suggest a future
in which embarrassing sele pho-
tos are instantly matched to LinkedIn
business proles and Facebook
likes for lingerie manufacturers.
In a Slate essay, writer Amy Webb
described her aversion to posting any
pictures of her child. ...
That future is hypothetical.
Facebook, and other social-media
companies, can ensure a present mod-
icum of privacy. Signing up for a
Facebook account is not an invitation
to harvest our lives for sale on the
town square of digital advertising.
Policing privacy on the Internet and Facebook What makes a
great downtown?
S
uccessful downtowns are still a challenge in once
suburban bedroom communities where change and
competition from malls continue to dominate.
Downtown San Mateo has many of the essential ingredi-
ents for success a diversity and plenitude of restaurants
(some gourmet), lots of small coffee shops with a dedicated
clientele in addition to Starbucks and Peets, a destination
European style market in Draegers, a popular movie the-
ater, Central Park and a bookstore.
***
Its been a struggle to keep a bookstore in downtown
San Mateo. Once there were several. Recently, it was M for
Mystery but it closed. In the past several years, the most
durable has been the used
book store run by Lew
Cohen. It moved from its
small site in the old Thrifty
building on B Street (which
he opened with his college
roommate in 2009) to a prime
corner location on Third
Avenue and B Street, next to
the ballet shop. Cohen has
just expanded his store to
include space formerly occu-
pied by the Greek restaurant
around the corner. Hes got
room now for his amazing
and diverse inventory of
40,000 volumes. In addition
to an original hard cover of The Lone Ranger he has
some rare books stashed away in the buildings basement
including a rst edition of Dickens Drood published in
separate chapters; a complete set of the Harvard classics
and multi volumes of the history of English peerage. He
sells some of these collectibles online.
B Street Books is located in a historic 1910 building
which originally housed the Bank of America. It became a
drug store and a copy shop until Cohen moved in. One rea-
son he has been able to stay is became he has a great land-
lord, someone who loves books. Nueling Investments, a
family business is located upstairs. Other landlords in
downtown (some absentee and foreign) have been raising
rents forcing Bean Street Coffee and Tres Amigos restau-
rant to close. The other used bookstore in town, Otter
books, located in the former M for Mystery site, has also
closed. The owner is the same college friend who original-
ly partnered with Cohen on B Street Books.
***
Its a tough job to run any small business and independ-
ent bookstores are especially vulnerable. Owners work
hard to make a buck. B Street Books is open every day
from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Friday and Saturday it stays
open until 8 p.m. Cohen buys books Tuesday, Wednesday
and Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. and by appointment.
The most he ever paid for a used book was $800. With the
expansion and the opportunity to make the store a com-
fortable place to browse and buy, Cohen is optimistic
despite competition from e-books. San Mateo needs to
keep a bookstore downtown to be a great downtown. As a
someone once said, a bookstore is its heart and soul.
***
While the city and downtown merchants would like to
see more retail, downtown San Mateo is still lively during
the day and evening, every day of the week. Adriving force
of the activity restaurants and the movie theater are
now supplemented by Draper University and the increasing
number of high-tech startups. Draper University has
spruced up the long vacant Benjamin Franklin, now stu-
dent living quarters. The summer sessions started in June
and ran for six weeks attended by 40 students from 14
countries. There will be shared workspace and pop-up retail
at the former Collective building. Meanwhile, the multi-
tude of high-tech companies continue to move in and
expand their operations. Jessica Evans, executive director
of the downtown association, says the workforce enjoys
the diversity and walkability of downtown.
***
The startups have creative names: Freewheel, Neo
Technology, MEDgle, Oodle, Rolling Orange, Soliant
Consulting, Coupa, Funny or Die, AdMobius, SnapLogic,
AVOS Systems ( founders of YouTube), Signal Fuse,
Nudgit, Ipsy, EdgeSpring to name a few. Their employees
are attracted to the ethnic food offerings downtown. Thats
probably why the popular Burlingame restaurant, Rotis ,
has moved to San Mateo.
Other happenings downtown include more public art and
oral arrangements; a Meter Garden opening 5:30 p.m.
Sept. 26 in front of 60 E. Third Ave.; the chambers rst
Bacon and Brew festival Sept. 28 at Central Park; and the
17th annual Wine Walk Oct. 5. There still remain a few
complaints some of the streets are dirty, there are still
vacant storefronts, and everyone wants more retail. Some
feel with additional housing downtown, retail will follow.
All in all, San Mateo has what it takes to be a great
downtown, if you include a bookstore.

BUSINESS 10
By Martha Mendoza
SAN JOSE Adaycare provider
needed cribs and high chairs. A
coffee truck needed a generator. A
couple renting party supplies
needed to move from a garage into
a storefront.
When these Silicon Valley small
businesses needed an influx of
cash, and fast, they didnt find
help at a bank. They turned instead
to a type of nancing more com-
monly associated with buying a
sewing machine for a Guatemalan
tailor or a tractor for an African
farmer.
Microlending, a decades old
form of nancing for the worlds
poorest, is now booming in
Silicon Valley. The region leads
the country for microlending as a
growing echelon of would-be
businesspersons who cant qualify
for traditional bank loans meets
money from cash-rich techies and
firms, including eBay and
Microsoft, who want to donate in
innovative ways.
Our clients are entrepreneurial
people, but the mainstream nan-
cial system doesnt work for
them, said Eric Weaver, founder
and CEO of the San Jose, Calif.,-
based Opportunity Fund, which
invested a record $7.6 million in
loans to small businesses last
year, creating about 1,900 jobs.
Beneficiaries range from dry
cleaners to barbeque joints, and
the lender is now believed to be
the largest nancer of food trucks
in the state. Afood truck or a hot
dog cart is a U.S. equivalent of a
cow in a developing country, he
said. Its something a family can
support itself with.
Paul Cruce tried banks, and even
the high tech crowdsourcing route
to get his Holy Cow Coffee
Company to join the upscale
food truck brigade before turning
to Opportunity Fund.
Today, with a new generator
powering the refrigerator, espres-
so machine, coffee brewer and
crepe griddle, the Holy Cow truck
is a popular attraction at farmers
markets.
I borrowed from Opportunity
Fund rather than a bank because
they are more in tune with the
needs of small business and have
more favorable credit terms, said
Cruce.
Microlending was devised by
Bangladeshi banker Mohammad
Yunus, who won a 2006 Nobel
Peace Prize for developing the
nancial instrument that supports
would-be business owners too
poor to qualify for traditional
bank loans.
Today, the global micronance
industry has more than 200 mil-
lion clients with $73 billion in
outstanding loans, according to
the London-based Centre for the
Study of Financial Innovation.
Just a small fraction of those
about $165 million are in the
United States, where about 400
institutions offer microloans.
Those rms typically give about
45 loans a year, compared with a
record 1,200 from Opportunity
Fund last year. The program,
which is nonprot and sustained
by donations, has extended to Los
Angeles in recent years. And this
summer, Opportunity Fund teamed
with Pacic Coast Ventures to tar-
get loans to Santa Cruz and
Monterey counties.
Because microlenders work
closely with recipients, providing
nancial education and business
support, the microloans in the San
Francisco Bay area have a delin-
quency rate of under 1 percent,
compared with loss rates of about
5 percent for more typical loans.
Rates range from about 8 to 12
percent, well below the 30 percent
credit card rates many entrepre-
neurs use to try to launch busi-
nesses.
Despite a booming tech indus-
try, the region faces growing
inequality, stagnant job growth,
soaring housing and transporta-
tion costs and widespread low
wages. Small business owners
who are largely immigrants point
to their microloans, usually
around $15,000, as a turning
point for making it.
Argentinian chef Manuel
Godino had no credit but lots of
demand for his empanadas, which
he cooked in an industrial kitchen
and sold to cafes and restaurants. A
microloan helped him launch his
own storefront Venga Empanadas
in San Franciscos Mission
District, where he employs anoth-
er eight people.
Confectioner Cristina Arantes
tapped Opportunity Fund to sup-
port her Kikas Treats, making
chocolate shortbreads and
caramels.
Tina Ferguson-Riffe turned her
$20,000 loan into a barbeque
joint, Smoke Berkeley, where she
employs seven others.
Yale University economics pro-
fessor Dale Karlan said domestic
microlenders should strive for
self-sustenance, rather than
depending on charitable dollars.
Overseas, they gured out how
to make this work, and for-prot s
stepped in, he said. If they have
to lose money to make these
loans, then this is a subsidy, not a
loan, and then we have to think
about the most important things
to subsidize, which might not be a
small business.
John Kohler, director of Impact
Capital at Santa Clara
Universitys Center for Science,
Technology, and Society, said
microloans can be a crucial source
of funding for the 20 to 30 million
people in the U.S. who have no
checking accounts or credit.
And although microlenders like
Opportunity Fund operate as non-
prots, philanthropists like the
model because their money goes
further, recycling loans as they are
repaid.
We are not going to have
enough dollars to donate our way
out of the grip of poverty that
exists in this country, he said.
Large corporations know this,
and are increasingly preferring
evergreen programs that loan the
same dollars again and again
instead of just handing over chari-
table capital.
Sid Espinosa, director of
Corporate Citizenship for
Microsoft Corp. in the Silicon
Valley, said they chose to give to
Opportunity Fund because it
solves a problem for people seek-
ing to launch a business and meets
their strict requirements about
who they give to, including pro-
viding relief to the poor.
Microloans surging in Silicon Valley
NEWYORK As Apple pitches
its newest smartphones, users may
nd something lacking compared
with last years model: They could
break more easily.
SquareTrade, a provider of pro-
tection plans for gadgets, tested
five smartphones, including
Apples new iPhones, to see if
they could withstand drops, dunks
and other common hazards. Its
nding: The latest models arent as
durable as last years iPhone 5.
The biggest loser, however, was
Samsungs Galaxy S4, which
failed to work after being sub-
merged in water and being dropped
5 feet off the ground, according to
San Francisco-based SquareTrade.
The phone that withstood
SquareTrades torture test best was
Google Inc.s Moto X. The Moto X
is the rst phone designed with the
Internet company as Motorolas
new owner. Released in August, the
Moto X is also the rst smart-
phone assembled in the U.S.
We were expecting that at least
one of the new iPhone models
would up its game, but surprising-
l y, it was the Moto X that proved
most forgiving of accidents, said
Ty Shay, chief marketing ofcer at
SquareTrade.
Officials from Apple Inc.,
Samsung Electronics Co. and
Google Inc. didnt immediately
return email messages for com-
ment.
Apple started selling two new
iPhones on Friday. The iPhone 5S
sports a ngerprint sensor, a better
camera and a faster processor. A
less expensive version, the
iPhone 5C, offers consumers a
wider choice of colors and has a
better front-facing camera than the
iPhone 5.
With every upgrade Apple has
made, the latest model has usually
been more durable than the previ-
ous one, based on drop tests
SquareTrade has done over the past
few years, Shay said. But that was-
nt the case this time.
SquareTrade reviewed each device
based on eight factors, including
the materials of the devices front
and back panels, its size and its
weight. It also tested the devices
ability to withstand drops from 5
feet and being dunked in water for
10 seconds. SquareTrade says it
uses robots to do the testing to
ensure consistency.
SquareTrade rates phones on a
scale of 1 to 10, with a higher
number reecting a higher risk of
the device breaking. All five
phones tested were considered to
have a medium risk of breakage,
but where they fell on the scale dif-
fered.
The Galaxy S4 scored 7, the
worst of the ve tested. The S4
ended up not functioning, with its
screen coming half off, according
to a video released by SquareTrade.
The iPhone 5S, made of alu-
minum and glass, scored 5.5,
while the 5C, with a plastic hous-
ing, had a 6 rating. Both were
worse than the 5 rating scored by
iPhone 5.
In particular, Shay noted that the
iPhone 5C was more damaged
when it was dropped than the
iPhone 5.
Tests: New iPhones less durable than iPhone 5
UNCASVILLE, Conn. The man at
the poker table had a ball cap pulled
down almost to his nose, but his
glance up at a television screen
revealed a familiar face to Mohegan
Suns surveillance cameras: A photo-
graph of the known card cheater had
been sent by bulletin to casinos
around the country.
Within hours, the bettor was arrest-
ed, accused of marking cards with
invisible ink.
The ofcer who identied him, basi-
cally she had a Holy crap! moment,
said Jay Lindroos, the casinos surveil-
lance director. She saw the face and
said, I recognize that guy!
Casinos from the U.S. to Australia
use their own intelligence network to
warn one another about cheaters. As
table games spread across the
Northeast, resorts are using it more
than ever to stay ahead of suspect play-
ers professional thieves and card
counters who can easily hit multiple
casinos in the span of a few days.
Mohegan Sun, one of the worlds
largest casinos, began sharing intelli-
gence a decade ago with its giant, next-
door rival in southeastern Connecticut,
the Foxwoods Resort Casino.
Casinos tap intelligence network to beat cheaters

STANFORD FOOTBALL: LATE RALLY BY ARIZONA STATE NOT ENOUGH TO BEAT CARDINAL >> PAGE 13
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
As a group, the Aragon football
team went into their locker room
at halftime of a Saturday clash
with Lincoln-San Jose scratching
their collective head a bit and
admittedly a bit nervous.
Sure, they were up 7-0 on the
Lions and they had all but imposed
their will on Lincoln on both
sides of the football. But still,
something felt a little, incom-
plete.
Thats what I was worried
about, said Aragon head coach
Steve Sell. Ive seen game like
these when you look at the stat
sheet and youre dominating, but
they get a touchdown and boom all
of a sudden, youre in trouble. If
they had scored at the end of the
rst half, beginning of the second
half, it could have gotten real
dicey.
The message of impending trou-
ble was received clearly by the
Dons though, who came out in the
third quarter and played like a team
with zero intentions of flirting
with disaster. Aragon (3-0)
stormed out in the third period,
using three Lincoln interceptions
and 168 yards of offense to put up
28 points on the Lions en route to
a 35-7 win.
I told them that if Lincoln came
out and scored, that this game
could get very interesting, Sell
said. So, we decided to stop play-
ing against ourselves and play
against one team. We just had to
quit making mistakes.
Aragons mistakes stemmed
from their inability to hold onto
the football in the rst half. This
was unfortunate considering they
dominated the Lions through the
rst 24 minutes of football.
Their initial drive moved 10
yards before Nat Blood was picked
off. And while the turnover hurt,
the second and third drives were
probably more frustrating for the
Dons.
Aragon ran a total of 26 plays in
those drives and came up with zero
points. On the second drive, the
Dons got all the way down to the
Lincoln 10-yard line before a false
start and an incomplete pass
thwarted the drive and turned the
ball over to the Lions.
Then on the third drive, the
Dons marched down the eld and
ate clock. This time, Aragon got
down to the 3-yard line before a
Big 3rd quarter propels Aragon to win

OAKLAND Coco Crisp hit a three-run
homer, Daric Barton and Jed Lowrie each
had a solo shot and the Oakland Athletics
wrapped up their second straight AL West
title while overpowering the Minnesota
Twins 11-7 Sunday.
The As clinched their 16th division
crown and 25th postseason appearance
when Texas lost 4-0 at Kansas City earlier.
Oswaldo Arcia homered and drove in six
runs for Minnesota.
Sonny Gray (4-3) gave up four runs and
seven hits in ve innings for Oakland. The
As scored six runs in the second inning and
one in each of the next ve to set the stage
for their own celebration.
Evan Scribner struck out Josmil Pinto
swinging for the nal out. The As sprinted
out of the dugout in celebration, jumping
around in their gold uniforms to turn the
ineld into a blur.
For the As, it was quite a different scene
than a year ago, when they won the ALWest
on the nal day of the regular season by
beating Texas to complete a dramatic series
sweep.
This years run to the postseason
sealed with a week to spare was far less
surprising but equally remarkable.
The As had the fourth-lowest opening day
Bad luck
for 49ers,
Colts win
By Janie McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO Jim Harbaughs for-
mer quarterback outplayed his current one,
hands down.
Andrew Luck threw for 164 yards and ran
for a 6-yard touchdown while facing college
coach Jim Harbaugh for the rst time, and
the Indianapolis Colts defeated the San
Francisco 49ers 27-7 on Sunday.
Trent Richardson scored a 1-yard touch-
down on his rst carry in his Colts debut
after being acquired on Wednesday from the
Browns. He was drafted two spots behind
top pick Luck at No. 3 last year.
Ahmad Bradshaw added a 1-yard TD run in
the nal minutes, and Adam Vinatieri kicked
a pair of eld goals before missing a 51-
yarder early in the fourth.
But Luck came through again to give
Indianapolis (2-1) more opportunities.
It was Colin Kaepernicks his rst home
loss at Candlestick Park as a starter.
Frank Gore ran for 82 yards after going for
60 total in his rst two games, but there
were few bright spots for Kaepernick as San
Francisco (1-2) struggled to establish a
passing game with tight end Vernon Davis
sidelined by a hamstring injury. The defense
committed numerous costly penalties for
the third straight week.
Luck completed his initial six passes and
spoiled the home teams reunion day
between coaches on both sides who know
each others tendencies dating to their days
at Stanford.
The Colts sure appeared to be better pre-
pared.
Luck sent third-year coach Harbaugh to
Colin Kaepernick suffered his rst home loss at Candlestick Park as a starter with the Colts
winning easy in San Francisco yesterday.

fade ball into the end zone resulted in yet
another interception.
They forced us [underneath], Sell said.
They were going to keep everything in
front of them and we threw them the ball a
couple of times and hurt ourselves.
But Sells defense wasnt budging at all in
that rst half. Lincoln saw the ball three
times and ran a total of 12 plays for -10
yards during that same span of time.
Our defense played so great, Sell said.
That was huge. It was such a far cry from
last week. This week we made it tough.
It was that defense that set up a short eld
for Aragon, who nally got into the end
zone. It took the Dons six plays to cover 49
yards. Patrick Pauni did the honors, bulldoz-
ing his way into the Promised Land to give
Aragon a 7-0 lead.
Lincoln did nd a positive offensive play
with a little more than a minute to play in
the second quarter a 31-yard run. Still, at
the end of the half, the Lions had only man-
aged 11 yards and were almost burnt by a
Hail Mary that Kono Filimoehala-Egan
almost ran back for a touchdown.
Come the third quarter, the Dons learned
from their mistakes and did not waste a sin-
gle opportunity.
After a Lincoln 3-and-out, Aragon
marched 84 yards on eight plays and this
time Pauni showed a bit of ash scoring
from 35 yards away to make it 14-0.
The defense continued to show its domi-
nance. Two snaps into Lincolns next drive,
Keith Samujh intercepted a pass. Six offen-
sive plays and 25 yards after that, Pauni
checked into the Touchdown Hotel from a
yard out to increase Aragons lead to 21-0.
The Don defense wasnt done. Lincoln
was picked off on its next offensive play
and this time Nicholas Tolfa liked Paunis
experience at the Touchdown Hotel so much,
he decided to book reservations for 6 from
33 yards away to make it 28-0.
The interception party wasnt over. Devin
Grant jumped in front of a materializing
wide receiver screen for a pick of his own.
Aragon turned that one into a touchdown,
too, taking 11 plays and 59 yards for its
fourth TD of the quarter. Samujh did the hon-
ors then.
Aragon outgained Lincoln 168 to -2 in
that pivotal third quarter. The Lions did
score during the fourth on a nine-play, 77-
yard drive.
Elsewhere in Saturday football action, El
Camino bounced back from a loss to Aragon
last week and pulled off a tough 12-7 win
over Lincoln-San Francisco. Brandon Gip
scored twice for the Colts in the victory.

Mills High School continues its non-

And nally in late Friday night football,

payroll at about $65 million. They have a
roster full of mostly anonymous and up-
and-coming players. And their home is an
old, dual-sport stadium where sewage has
leaked in the clubhouses and the dugouts in
one sickening scene after another this sum-
mer.
The As still emerged as the team to watch
this October in the Bay Area with the San
Francisco Giants winners of two of the
last three World Series titles far out of the
postseason picture.
Oakland has won four straight, 10 of 12,
and 13 of 16 to move a season-high 30
games over .500.
The As, who lost in ve games to the
eventual AL champion Detroit Tigers in the
division series last season, are still trying
to get home-eld advantage. AL East cham-
pion Boston (95-62) currently holds the
top spot and AL Central-leading Detroit
(91-65) is trying to overtake Oakland (93-
63) with six games left.
As manager Bob Melvin refused to talk
about anything related to the playoffs until
his team sealed a spot. He has guided
Oakland to consecutive division crowns in
his rst two full seasons and helped general
manager Billy Beane bask in his
Moneyball fame again.
But Melvin promised to allow his players
to pop the bubbly and savor the success
whenever they clinched. After tearing down
the plastic sheets in the clubhouse when the
Rangers won Saturday night, the As left
nothing to chance.
In the second, Cole De Vries (0-1) walked
three straight batters with two outs to set
the stage for Oaklands outburst. Eric
Sogard blooped a two-run single, Crisp hit
his 22nd home run and Josh Donaldson
doubled to put the Athletics ahead 6-1 and
whip the green-and-gold clad crowd into a
frenzy.
With the Twins batting in the third, word
started to circulate around the Coliseum of
Justin Maxwells two-out grand slam that
beat the Rangers in the 10th inning to seal
the division title for the As. Some players,
noticing the high-ves and hollers in the
stands, kept glancing at the manual score-
board in left eld.
Maxwells slam was shown on the video
board between innings, setting off chants
of Lets go, Oakland! from the announced
crowd of 30,589. Players shared subtle hugs
in the dugout.
The excitement subsided briefly when
Arcia hit a three-run homer in the third to
slice Oaklands lead to 6-4.
NOTES: Only the Yankees (51) and
Dodgers (27) have more postseason appear-
ances than the As. ... This is the fourth time
the As have won back-to-back division
titles (also 1971-75, 1988-90, 2002-03).
... Crisp joined the 20-20 club for the rst
time when he stole his 20th base in the
sixth inning. ... Twins general manager
Terry Ryan said C Joe Mauer (concussion)
had another good day of workouts. The club
hopes Mauer can begin baseball activities
soon. ... RHP Mike Pelfrey (5-13, 5.34)
starts for the Twins in their series opener
with the Detroit Tigers on Monday night,
while A.J. Grifn (14-9, 3.78 ERA) goes for
the As in their opener at the Los Angeles
Angels.

STANFORD There was a time
not long ago that anybody associ-
ated with Stanford would be satis-
ed with a victory no matter how
it came or who it came against.
Those days suddenly seem like a
long time ago.
The fth-ranked Cardinal (3-0,
1-0) shouldve been all smiles
after beating then-No. 23 Arizona
State 42-28 on Saturday night in
their Pac-12 opener. Instead, most
players seemed angry about giv-
ing up three touchdowns in the
fourth quarter to make the game
seem closer than it really was.
That left Stanford coach David
Shaw, who never seems satised
with any victory, to fend off ques-
tions he knew would come his way
with an opening statement of his
own.
Im not going to apologize for
winning a football game, Shaw
said, unprompt-
ed when speak-
ing with
reporters after-
ward. I could
care less about
style points. I
could care less
about what it
looks like. We
played one
great half and a solid third quarter
and a bad fourth quarter. Thats the
bottom line.
Stanford sure looked every bit
like its still the team to beat in
the Pac-12 this season while
going ahead 29-0 at halftime and
39-7 through three quarters
against Arizona State.
That nobody at Stanford seemed
thrilled about easily winning the
only matchup between ranked
opponents on Saturday might be
the best example of the lofty
expectations this season. It also
showed Stanford is still learning
to play from a position it rarely
has during its recent renaissance:
with a big lead.
Arizona States late surge put a
charge into Shaw on the eld and
in the locker room. He put quarter-
back Kevin Hogan back in the
game after watching a 32-poing
lead dwindle to two touchdowns,
and he spent the rest of the night
defending his initial decision to
anybody who would listen.
Thats human nature. That is
the coachs responsibility to ght
human nature, Shaw said.
Human nature says were winning
by a lot, lets back off. Ill take
some heat, and Im ne. Ill take
some heat for switching the quar-
terback. The quarterback wasnt
the issue, OK. We got the ball in
the fourth quarter. The same looks
that we had before that we
blocked, we didnt block.
The Cardinal are accustomed to
grinding out games behind a
relentless rushing attack and dom-
inant defense. By the time the
rst-half horn sounded, the Rose
Bowl champions had sent a mes-
sage across the Pac-12 and the
nation that theyre ready to live up
to the highest preseason ranking
in the programs history.
Stanford played with more diver-
sity on both sides of the ball than
it had in solid, but not overwhelm-
ing, victories against San Jose
State and Army. The Cardinals
funky formations and disguised
defenses had the Sun Devils (2-1,
0-1) dazed and dizzy, again dis-
playing the disparity between the
past four league champions
Oregon and Stanford and every-
body else.
At least for 45 minutes.
There was denitely a feeling
of a little bit of disappointment,
defensive end Ben Gardner said.
We celebrate all wins, and were
glad we got this one. But weve
got to take a little more pride in
playing our style of football no
matter what the situation.
The real carryover for the
Cardinal from the late letdown
came when ofcials ejected safety
Ed Reynolds for a helmet-to-hel-
met hit on Taylor Kelly in the
fourth quarter, a call Shaw said he
agreed with from his view on the
sideline. Under the new targeting
rule, Reynolds could miss the rst
half against Washington State in
Seattle next week unless the con-
ference overturns the call.
The nal statistics still looked
mighty impressive: Stanford
scored twice in the air and three
times on the ground, had two
interceptions, blocked two punts,
tallied 10 tackles for loss and
recorded three sacks.
In the end, Shaw said he will use
the game as a teachable
moment something Stanford
coaches used to talk about in
losses so often in the past but
now have the luxury of doing so
after big wins.
No. 5 Stanford sends mixed message in win vs. ASU
David Shaw
Unearned run gives
Dodgers 1-0 win over Padres
SAN DIEGO With only six regular-sea-
son games left, the NL West champion Los
Dodgers are focusing on preparations for
the playoffs.
Zack Greinke combined with three reliev-
ers on a two-hitter and Adrian Gonzalez
scored an unearned to lead the Dodgers over
the San Diego Padres 1-0 Sunday.
Greinke allowed both hits over five
innings, lowering his ERA to 2.67. He
threw just 72 pitches.
It was just a lighter day, Greinke said. I
was ne with it.
He is 7-0 with a 1.59 ERA in 11 starts
since a July 25 loss to Cincinnati and 2-0
with a 1.44 ERA in three starts against the
Padres this year. Greinke gures to start
Game 2 of the NL division series after ace
Clayton Kershaw pitches the opener.

consecutive losses for the first
time.
Before Sunday, he was 7-0 fol-
lowing a defeat and Harbaugh
faced criticism for playing and
starting Aldon Smith two days
after the linebacker was arrested
and jailed on suspicion of driving
under the inuence and marijuana
possession.
Kaepernick had been 4-0 on his
home field since becoming a
starter last November. This time,
his 49ers were 10 1/2-point
favorites, but looked nothing like
the better team in getting thor-
oughly outplayed.
He completed 2 of his 8 rst-
half passes and wound up just 13
for 27 for 150 yards with an inter-
ception and three sacks.
The 49ers had six penalties for
48 yards and didnt look much bet-
ter than they did in their five-
turnover, 29-3 loss at division
rival Seattle last week.
Richardson carried 13 times for
35 yards, giving the Colts quite
the 1-2 punch with Bradshaws 19
rushes for 95 yards.
Luck took advantage of a pair of
penalties by San Francisco to
open Indianapolis seven-play,
80-yard scoring drive over the
opening 3:40 for a 7-0 lead.
On the Colts rst play from
scrimmage, safety Donte Whitner
received a 15-yard unnecessary
roughness penalty when he led
with his helmet on a hit against
Bradshaw after a 3-yard catch.
Tarell Brown was agged for pass
interference on the next play.
Another penalty on Brown, for
holding, gave the Colts rst down
at the 23 midway through the sec-
ond quarter and set up Vinatieris
43-yard eld goal. He kicked a 41-
yarder in the third quarter.
Brown was penalized yet again
for pass interference midway
through the fourth.
The 49ers answered
Indianapolis initial score.
Kendall Hunter ran for a 13-yard
score after Gore got the drive
going with three long runs
quickly topping his total from the
rst two games.
Luck kept drives going with
clutch plays as the Colts won the
third straight meeting with San
Francisco.
On third-and-9 and throwing
from near his end zone late in the
third, Luck hit Reggie Wayne for a
25-yard gain in which Wayne
broke through several tackle
attempts.
All-Pro linebacker Patrick
Willis went down on the play and
was helped off the eld moments
later with a groin injury that side-
lined him for the rest of the game.
The Colts busted through San
Franciscos defensive line, which
lost nose tackle Ian Williams to a
season-ending ankle injury last
week.

SAN FRANCISCO This has
become the Americas Cup that just
wont end, thanks to ckle wind
and Oracle Team USAs remarkable
resurgence.
Twice down by seven races, the
defending champions from the
United States no doubt have all of
New Zealand on edge, including the
thousands of Kiwis who pack the
waterfront to cheer on the boys
aboard Emirates Team New Zealand.
Skipper Jimmy Spithill and his
mates with Oracle Team USA were
masterful in tricky conditions
Sunday on San Francisco Bay, win-
ning Races 14 and 15 to cut the
Kiwis lead to 8-5.
Oracle won Race 14 by 23 sec-
onds and Race 15 by 37 seconds in
light, patchy wind.
Spithill steered his 72-foot cata-
maran to huge leads in both races
before the Kiwis cut the margin on
the fourth leg. It was a day for back
slaps and st pumps aboard Oracle
Team USA, which has won four
straight since the Kiwis reached
match point on Wednesday.
Backed by software tycoon Larry
Ellisons fortune, Oracle needs four
more wins to keep the oldest tro-
phy in international sports.
Oracle has won seven races. But
it was docked two points as part of
the harshest penalties in the 162-
year history of the Americas Cup
for illegally modifying boats in
warmup regattas called the
Americas Cup World Series.
Spithill hasnt wavered since
Oracle was penalized four days
before the racing started, including
having wing sail trimmer Dirk de
Ridder tossed from the regatta.
The boat is just so much quicker
than when we started this competi-
tion, said Spithill, 34, an
Australian who lives in San Diego
with his American wife and their
two young boys. We believe we
can win this. We believe weve got
the boat to do it, weve got the
team, and weve got a wave of
momentum thats becoming bigger
every day, behind us.
The Kiwis, backed in part by
their government and several cor-
porate sponsors, still need just one
win to spirit away the Auld Mug.
Its gotten to the point that
Barker was asked by a countryman
if he can assure New Zealanders that
theyre not watching Team New
Zealand choke.
Tough question, said Barker,
the hard-luck loser in the 2003
Americas Cup, who answered in
his usual calm demeanor.
We have absolute belief that we
can win this and nothings
changed, the 41-year-old Barker
said. The numbers are still de-
nitely in our favor, but thats not
what were going to rest on. Were
going to go out there tomorrow to
perform as well as we possibly can.
If we put everything together well,
then well win a race. If we dont
sail well, then that leaves an
opportunity for the Oracle guys to
win. Were very, clear and very,
very focused, and well go out there
tomorrow to do the best we can.
Race 16 and Race 17, if neces-
sary, are scheduled for Monday.
Oracle has won six of the last
eight races and six of 10 since
Spithill replaced American tacti-
cian John Kostecki with British
Olympic star Ben Ainslie, who had
been the helmsman of the backup
boat. Ainslie, who won his fourth
straight Olympic gold medal in
2012, and strategist Tom Slingsby,
an Australian who won his rst
gold medal, are combining to make
the right calls.
Theres no question that was
one of hardest days out there and
clearly those guys nailed it,
Spithill said.
Oracle Team USA has made
changes to its catamaran every
night. Team CEO Russell Coutts
a New Zealander who has won the
Americas Cup four times said
the crew has improved its technique
sailing downwind.
The changes to the boat are a
big deal, Spithill said. Theyre a
big deal in terms of actual perform-
ance that you see physically, but
also mentally for the crew because
now the crew, they can see the boat
is up to it. And they believe that
they can do it and the boat can do
it.

NEW YORK After watching
the Yankees honor Mariano Rivera
and the fans celebrate Andy
Pettitte, Ehire Adrianza made a
sweet memory for himself.
Adrianza broke up Pettittes no-
hit bid in the sixth inning with his
rst career homer, helping the San
Francisco Giants beat New York 2-
1 and give the Yankees playoff
hopes a serious blow.
Pablo told me it was a no-hitter,
he told me to get a hit, Adrianza
said of teammate Pablo Sandoval.
It was a special day for me in my
life, for Mariano and Pettitte.
The Yankees held a pregame cere-
mony and retired the No. 42 of
Rivera, who announced during
spring training that this will be his
nal season. Pettitte said Friday he
also is leaving, and he started off
with ve hitless innings in what
likely was his nal Yankee Stadium
start.
The Giants were cooperating
with the days feel-good atmos-
phere, until Adrianza, in his ninth
career at-bat, sent a line drive into
the second row of seats in left eld
with one out in the sixth to tie the
game 1-all. Tony Abreu had a go-
ahead double off David Robertson
in the eighth, one out after Pettitte
gave up a double to Sandoval.
These guys had a chance to see
the best, Giants manager Bruce
Bochy said. The kids really han-
dled themselves well. I couldnt be
prouder.
Alex Rodriguez led off the bot-
tom of the eighth with a single,
and Robinson Cano doubled for his
third hit. Alfonso Soriano hit a
sharp grounder to third base, and
Nick Noonan threw home to nail
pinch-runner Zoilo Almonte.
Eduardo Nunez then singled to left
eld, but Bronx-raised Juan Perez
threw Cano out trying to score.
Javier Lopez (4-2) relieved
Yusmeiro Petit with two on and one
out in the seventh and struck out
two. Petit gave up six hits.
Sergio Romo pitched a hitless
ninth for his 36th save in 41
chances. In a sign of how banged
up the Yankees are, they sent 22-
year-old rookie J.R. Murphy to the
plate, and Romo struck him out to
end the game.
There is no other Mariano
Rivera, Romo said I was joking
around inside to myself warming up
that Im going to get a chance to
pitch in Yankee Stadium, to com-
pete on the same mound against
Mariano Rivera. But Mariano toed
the rubber before I did today.
San Francisco split six games in
New York, taking two of three
against the Mets.
In danger of missing the playoffs
for just the second time in 19
years, the Yankees dropped four
back of Cleveland for the second
AL wild card with six games left.
New York hosts wild-card leading
Tampa Bay for three games, then
closes at Houston.
Were still alive, but this one
really hurt, Yankees manager Joe
Girardi said. Its tough.
On a sun-splashed afternoon and
before a sellout crowd of 49,197,
the Yankees honored Rivera by
bringing back several of the play-
ers who helped them win five
World Series titles from 1996-09
including Jorge Posada, Bernie
Williams, David Cone, Paul
ONeill and Tino Martinez.
Pettitte initially retired after the
2010 season, sat out one year and
then returned.
Many of the Giants stood at the
top step of their dugout and
watched festivities, that included
Bay-Area band Metallica playing
Riveras entrance song Enter
Sandman. Pitching coach Dave
Righetti led a group of coaches
that were former Yankees in pre-
senting Rivera with a pen and ink
watercolor by local artist Saul
Levy and a guitar from Metallicas
Kirk Hammett that was auto-
graphed by Hall of Famer Willie
Mays.
Great day, Bochy said. This
ceremony is something theyll
remember.
For much of the afternoon,
Pettitte seemed on track for a vin-
tage performance. The 41-year-old
left-hander, a 255-game winner,
was backed by Mark Reynolds
third-inning homer and didnt
allow a baserunner until
Sandovals two-out walk in the
fth.
When Sandoval doubled to left
in the eighth for the Giants sec-
ond hit, Pettitte slammed his
glove into his thigh in frustration
when he saw Girardi bounce out of
the dugout.
Giants spoil day for Rivera, Pettitte, Yanks
Cardinals clinch playoff spot with Nationals loss
MILWAUKEE The St. Louis Cardinals clinched a play-
off berth on the same day manager Mike Matheny turned 43.
Neither milestone caused much of a stir.
Washingtons 4-2 loss to Miami in a doubleheader open-
er Sunday assured the Cardinals of at least an NL wild-card
berth.
We want to win the division and then go on and go deep
into October, rst baseman Matt Adams said before Sunday
nights game against Milwaukee.

By Dan Gelston
LOUDON, N.H. Matt
Kenseth just might win a champi-
onship with a touch of dominance,
not dullness.
Kenseth has rmly defended the
style of his 2003 championship,
stating his one-win season in the
nal year before NASCAR made
the move to the playoff-style
Chase format was as meaningful as
all the titles collected by Jimmie
Johnson or Tony Stewart.
He probably wont have to justi-
fy anything about his Cup run this
season. There are plenty of check-
ered ags.
Kenseth made it 2 for 2 in the
Chase, holding off Joe Gibbs
Racing teammate Kyle Busch to
win Sunday at New Hampshire
M o t o r
Speedway.
He followed
his win in the
Chase for the
Sprint Cup
champi onshi p
opener at
Chi c a gol a nd
with his series-
high seventh
victory of the season. Kenseth
made his 500th career start and
built a 14-point lead over Busch
before the series shifts to Dover.
One win or seven, Kenseth will
take a title any way he can.
If youre fortunate enough to
win a championship, or another
championship, I dont think
theres a bad way to win it, he
said. I know it still gets brought
up because it was the last year
without the Chase and we won
once race. But I was real proud of
what we did that year. It was tough
to accomplish.
Kenseth was paired with owner
Jack Roush for more than a decade
and won 22 races, a pair of
Daytona 500s and the 2003 cham-
pionship. Hes having a career
year in his rst season at JGR,
obliterating his previous season
best for wins 5 in 2002.
I dont feel like Im necessarily
a better driver than what I was last
year, he said. Certainly, things
are different.
Just a little bit.
His gamble to change teams has
been a success, and Kenseths eyes
glistened as tears rolled down his
cheeks in Victory Lane. He
reached for a big white towel to
wipe them away.
Neither side could have expected
this kind of run.
Weve known Matt for a long
time but, in all reality, we would-
nt have guessed seven wins,
team President J.D. Gibbs said.
Kenseth was anxious heading
into New Hampshire because it had
long been one of his worst tracks.
He might have calmed down had he
checked this seasons results from
some of the other tracks where he
traditionally struggled: Four of
his seven wins in 2013 are at
tracks where he was winless.
Kenseth and Busch made it a 1-
2 finish for Joe Gibbs Racing
and helped the organization win
for the fifth time in the last
seven races dating to Buschs
win at Watkins Glen in August.
Kenseth won at Bristol, Busch
took Atlanta and Kenseth won
the last two.
Kenseth joins Greg Biffle
(2008) and Tony Stewart (2011) as
the only drivers to win the rst
two Chase races. Stewart went on
to win the title.
Kenseth moves on in the No. 20
Toyota to Dover, where hes a two-
time winner. He led 29 laps there
earlier this year before an engine
failure ended his day.
For me to win at Loudon, its
more than a stretch, more than a
dream, Kenseth said. This is
probably one of my worst places.
This just shows you how good this
team is.
Chase drivers lled six of the
top 10 spots. Bife was third and
Johnson fourth. Dale Earnhardt Jr.
was sixth and Carl Edwards ninth.
Jamie McMurray was the highest
non-Chase nisher in fth place.
Kenseth wins 2nd Chase race at New Hampshire

re pollinators important? Without
them, life as we know it would
end, so yes! Hummingbirds,
moths, beetles, bees, bats and butteries
are the most common of these ying crit-
ters responsible for 75 percent of the ow-
ering plants and crops around the globe.
Theyve been receiving attention due to
dwindling numbers and threats. Because
expanding roads, lawns and buildings are
replacing natural areas, pollinators dont
have as many places to rest, feed and pol-
linate. Have that little birds and bees
talk with your kids. As the parent of a boy
and girl, trust me, this one is more com-
fortable than the other! Tell them why
bees are cool. Explain the threats Ive
named above and others like pesticides
which are intended to target a pest, but
also impact non-targeted species and
plants. Another one of our pollinators,
bats, will be the stars during a special
event 6:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. Wednesday,
Oct. 2 at our Burlingame center. We could-
nt resist the Halloween timing! Did you
know bats can eat 500-1,000 insects per
hour? Or, that these much-maligned,
spookied creatures can y 60 mph and
10,000 feet up while migrating. Our guest
speaker will cover rabies questions as
well, separating truths from myths. For
more information, please call 650/340-
7022, ext. 369. While people are on the
fence about sharing their yards with urban
wildlife, we should be hospitable toward
pollinators, and can take simple, inexpen-
sive steps to attract them. Provide pollen
and nectar sources by planting owers that
bloom different times of the year. Plant
owers in clumps and choose a variety of
shapes and colors. Avoid pesticides and
provide a source for water such as a bird
feeder, solar powered for circulating water.
And, select native plants for your yard,
such as yarrow, California buckeye, aster,
lupine, marigold, monkey-ower, Black-
eyed Susan or buttercup. Crafty DIYtypes
can build a bat house, buttery house or
bee box. No permits needed, even in
Burlingame.

NEWYORK The more adult-
oriented fall moviegoing season
got off to a strong start over the
weekend, as the Hugh Jackman
kidnapping drama Prisoners
opened with a box ofce-leading
$21.4 million, according to stu-
dio estimates Sunday.
The Warner Bros. thriller, which
also stars Jake Gyllenhaal, is
among the first fall films with
Oscar aspirations to open in the-
aters. It was a strong debut for a
serious, R-rated drama that cost
about $46 million to make.
Following the robust business
for Lee Daniels The Butler (now
up to $106.5 million in six weeks
for the Weinstein Co.), the large
audiences turning out for adult fare
bodes well for Hollywoods com-
ing awards season.
Directed by Denis Villeneuve,
the nearly 2 1/2 hour-long
Prisoners is about the working-
class families of two young girls
who are abducted. In a story heavy
with allegory, Jackman plays a
father willing to cross moral lines
for justice. Gyllenhaal stars as the
small-town police detective try-
ing to navigate the case.
Dan Fellman, head of distribu-
tion for Warner Bros., said the
audience was 74 percent under the
age of 50, with only 8 percent
under 18. The lm, he noted, was
launched very similarly to
Warner Bros.s October-released
Argo, which, like Prisoners,
premiered at the Telluride Film
Festival and then the Toronto
International Film Festival.
In limited release, two other
adult-oriented lms opened well.
Ron Howards Formula One tale
Rush opened in five theaters
with a $40,000 per-screen aver-
age. And the romantic comedy
Enough Said, which co-stars
James Gandolni in one of his
nal performances, opened in four
theaters with a per-screen average
of $60,000. Both lms expand
next week.
Prisoners, Rush and
Enough Said have all received
good reviews.
A few years ago, people were
saying that the adult drama is
dead, said Paul Dergarabedian,
box-office analyst for
Hollywood.com. Were just see-
ing a change. Now were nding
that intersection between good
movies that are also generating
big box ofce.
Last weeks top lm, Insidious:
Chapter 2, slid to second place
for FilmDistrict. The horror lm
made $14.5 million in its second
weekend, according to studio esti-
mates Sunday. It has made $60.9
million in two weeks domestical-
l y.
The Chris Brown dance film
Battle of the Year opened poorly
for Sony Pictures Screen Gems,
taking in only $5 million.
Warner Bros.s 3-D conversion
of The Wizard of Oz made $3
million, opening on 318 IMAX
screens.
Prisoners tops box office with $21.4 million

Under Father Henry Lyne, a K-8 school
was added to the church in 1931 and this
attracted families to the city from surround-
ing areas, making the church and city grow
simultaneously. Today, according to the cur-
rent pastor of nine years, Father Anthony
McGuire, the school holds about 600 stu-
dents and graduates 80 every year. The
school stands right beside the church and
has two classrooms for every grade, so as
the students get out of school for the day
they blend in with the people visiting the
church.
Due to this growth, the church had to be
expanded for a second time and moved from
its downtown San Mateo location. Its cur-
rent building at 1 Notre Dame Ave., off El
Camino Real at Ninth Avenue, was complet-
ed in 1966. Its former location is where the
Walgreens is now.
Carla Peccolo Woodworth has been a
member of St. Matthews since she was a
baby, as her parents were parishioners. In
fact, she was married at St. Matthews in
1980, she and her husband have run the
church carnival for four years, and her chil-
dren have attended and graduated from the
church school. Woodworth has fond memo-
ries of the more traditional church building
from her childhood the tall statues and
the brick but loves the modern, round
design in place currently because she says it
feels like Jesus is hugging the communi-
t y.
While in the early years, the church was a
catalyst for growing the citys population,
today St. Matthews is bringing people
together through mass and special events.
Part of the churchs importance today is
unifying the community, McGuire said.
Smaller communities connect with
events such as the carnival, McGuire said.
Woodworth echoes this sentiment.
The school now has opened up to serve
people outside the parish and the compo-
sure of the church reects the diversity of
San Mateo, she said.
Perhaps it is tting the church is bringing
people from many backgrounds together,
because St. Matthew is said to have invited
many different people over to his house one
night for a big dinner.
Beginning Sept. 29, there will be special
celebrations to commemorate the 150-year
anniversary of St. Matthews. The festivi-
ties, which will conclude Oct. 5, include a
picnic at San Mateos Central Park and a
dinner dance at the church itself.

the ocean moisture that rides with the clouds
as they ow to the east. At the crest of the
Coast Range water flowing toward the
stream that ran from the San Jose area has
cut gullies and ravines deep into the hills,
creating a rugged topography with soil that
scrub oak trees and low bushes and chaparral
have thrived on. Related to the great ebb and
ow of the ocean currents is a seasonal
change due the movement of the Earth
around the sun and moisture falls mainly in
the cool season, winter. Continual rainfall
in the millennium of winters since their for-
mation have forced the streams and the
rivulets to overowing with torrential rain
water on its way to the Bay. The scouring
ability of this water forced solid rocks to
become mud. In this state it could be moved
to the Bay, forming miles of mud ats. Study
of these muddy records in the rocks and mud
ats has revealed these hidden secrets of
past geologic events.
The rapidly-moving water gouged the
canyons deeper each year and carried the dis-
solved mud toward the lower parts of the
river in the center of the Bay and settled
there. The smaller particles traveled far out
to the ocean, but the heavier particles set-
tled and formed extensive mud ats around
the Bay. The slower the water, the more it
dropped its load of sediment. The hills kept
giving its sediment for millions years,
forming what was to eventually become land
that would create favorable places for
mankind to live ... until Mother Nature
decides to rearrange her furniture with the
help of another earthquake along the San
Andreas Fault.

annual Wine Walk, which takes place
the following weekend.
The sidewalk work is meant to make
downtown streets safer and more
attractive, Evans said.
The city has teamed with Watt to
bring more art to the area and has also
just established a meter garden, an art
display that will move throughout
downtown in the coming months that
Evans hopes will also help pay for
more art in the area as passersby can
drop coins into the meters.
Watt and her sister Jill recently
spent 40 hours constructing her latest
and biggest yarnbomb of a giant pur-
ple squid on B and Tilton streets at the
edge of downtown.
Something is starting in San
Mateo, Watt said. It is becoming
known as a place for art.
She has only gotten positive feed-
back from the public so far, she said.
One of the murals on a utility box
downtown will also showcase the
citys relationship with sister city
Toyonaka, Japan.
City ofcials have taken notice to
all the changes.
I have not seen the giant squid, but
Ill look forward to checking it out. I
have personally found the yarn
bombs in San Mateo delightful and as
long as they are put up with the per-
mission of the property owners, are
tasteful, the numbers are managed and
they dont present any safety hazard,
I have no problem with them,
Councilwoman Maureen Freschet
wrote the Daily Journal in an email.
So far, Ive enjoyed all the yarn
bombs in our downtown. They are
creative, whimsical and fun and they
generate conversation and excite-
ment. Ive actually seen huge smiles
light up the faces of children and
adults when theyve stopped to exam-
ine the colorful feet on the mail
boxes or the snakes on the bike
racks.
The city is one of few to actually
promote this form of street art and it
is a wonderful way to bring color and
new energy to our streets, Freschet
wrote.

ment at the site of the former race track.
Students at the Upper School have text-
books in some classes as a resource, but
every student primarily uses a MacBook
Pro. The inaugural Upper School class has
77 students, with approximately half of
class rising from Nuevas eighth grade and
the other half from 26 schools across the
Bay Area and beyond.
We have a strong traditional of engaging
students, Schoeffel said. Theres also a lot
of opportunities for long-term projects,
research and investigation. A lot of kids
know intuitively they want to be talked
with not at.
He notes that schools have begun to
reconstruct themselves to match the need
for students to develop passions through
work. They also host guest speakers, have
robotics, theater and musical programs,
along with other options.
Its allowed for individual develop-
ment, Schoeffel said. Its about learning
by doing and a kind place; kids really inter-
act with each other in meaningful ways.
Theres a lot of learning to communicate
with others through active listening and
theres a culture of deep respect.
The school is not the sort of environment
where whoever talks the most wins, he said.
We have a diverse group of kids,
Schoeffel said. Theres different ways of
problem solving and seeing the world.
The students and families at the school are
looking for a different way to do high
school, said Lana Guernsey, director of spe-
cial projects for Nueva. Many of the stu-
dents are those interested in being part of
startups, she said.
They want a place where they will love
learning, she said. People drawn to the
idea of helping to start something from the
ground oor. Theres also a spirit of the
inaugural class. Its a class that makes a
powerful bond.
This type of learning environment should
not be unique to Nueva, Schoeffel said.
The Bay Meadows campus will include a
facility on approximately 2.75 acres over-
looking a 12-acre public park, with exible
classrooms and seminar spaces, performing
and ne arts studios, science laboratories
and tech shops, an attached athletic center
and gym, student and community center,
two-level writing and research center and a
future theater.
Tuition is $38,000 for this school year,
but Nueva awards $1.8 million in award
grants in the Lower through Upper
schools. This award amount is a gure the
school aims for every year, however, that
award amount can increase as its student
population increases. There were about
three and a half times applicants than the
number of students who could be accepted.
Applicants from outside of the program
were asked to write an essay and do a series
of interviews.
The Upper School is already accepting
applications for next school years ninth
grade class. The cap for the next class would
be about 100 students. The school will
eventually be grades nine through 12.
NUEVA
Supervisor Dave Pine, a strong propo-
nent of district elections, believes the cur-
rent lines are legally defensible if necessary
and that racial and ethnic concerns are only
among many on a long list of considered
points.
One concern should not drive this whole
process, he said.
For some cities, the bigger priority is
staying together. Crafting five equally-
sized districts without at least one city split
is impossible which has left some cities
lobbying and puzzling over drafts.
A one city split option requires dividing
either Burlingame, Millbrae or San Bruno
all in Pines District One and allocat-
ed a piece to District Three which includes
the coastside and southern county.
It would be an extraordinarily odd look-
ing map, Pine said.
The Burlingame City Council asked the
district advisory committee to, at the very
least, split it between District One and Two
rather than the coast and south because
doing so runs counter to the goal of keeping
communities of interest together.
Burlingame shares a re department with
Hillsborough and high school students with
Hillsborough, San Mateo, Millbrae and San
Bruno, Mayor Ann Keighran noted in a let-
ter.
Millbrae Mayor Gina Papan said the
majority of that citys ofcials were not
happy with the proposed map that places
some of it into District Five.
It was like, we need some Asians so lets
take Millbrae, she said, in reference to the
lawsuit.
Her preference is cleaning up the current
maps to keep precincts intact.
Committee Co-chair Warren Slocum, also
a member of the Board of Supervisors, said
as the former registrar of voters he under-
stands the concern over splits
The way I look at it is from the voters
point of view and what could be confusing.
When you start drawing lines and crossing
freeways, that can affect turnout and
increase the cost of election administra-
tion, Slocum said.
At its Sept. 24 meeting, the committee
will decide which map or maps it forwards to
the Board of Supervisors for consideration.
Tissier and Slocum are both aiming for
three.
But while the committee has winnowed
down the submitted maps to a handful,
Tissier said drafts and all input was still
being accepted through Sept. 20.
The more feedback we get at the commit-
tee and board level the better decisions well
make, Tissier said, joking that theyd even
accept designs on a napkin.
The county last drew district lines in
September 2011 as mandated after the U.S.
Census numbers were released. One current
school of thought is to leave the districts as
i s.
Another, known as the precinct cleanup
map, leaves them largely intact with some
more minor tweaks to make the lines not
split voting precincts, said county
spokesman Marshall Wilson.
The Daly City Council backs the so-called
community unity plan which maintains
District Five as a majority minority Asian
district.
Then there is the resident-submitted
Nakamura 1A2 plan which pushes Redwood
Shores into District Four, keeps Pacica in
District Three and revises the boundary in
Belmont between districts Two and Three.
Tissier said South San Francisco still
plans to submit a map as does the countys
Republican Party.
Regardless of the final maps, Pine, a
member of the charter review committee
that recommended district elections, is glad
to see them come to fruition.
Its a big change. The most important
thing is that we now operate in that system.
Its really the most important thing here
regardless of how these lines are drawn, he
said.
The community also needs to realize the
work at wider representation doesnt stop
with the new maps, Papan said.
The real power once those districts are
established are in getting those in the com-
munity to step forward. We need to make
sure our diverse communities are represent-
ed with people who are willing to run, she
said.
