Crystal Springs Uplands School ofcials
will hear tonight whether the Belmont City
Council is favorable to a proposal to expand
into the citys highlands on Davis Drive by
building a new middle school or whether it is
time to nd a different site for the campus.
In July, the Planning Commission voted not
to recommend the project to the council but
CSUS, a nonprofit private school in
Hillsborough, has since sweetened its devel-
opment deal to the city by pledging a one-
time $1 million payment, $250,000 annually
and use of its turfed athletic eld.
While most of the council has been essen-
tially silent on the merits of the project,
Councilwoman Coralin Feierbach has pub-
licly made it clear she opposes the proposal
and has sent out a mass email to city residents
telling them why.
CSUS has also taken to conducting tele-
phone surveys and has sent out mailers to
Belmont residents detailing the proposal and
to seek input on the project leading up to
tonights public hearing.
Feierbach said those tactics are unaccept-
able to her. She has also made it a point to
detail how local school and other tax districts
will be hurt by the CSUS plan, since it is
exempt from paying property taxes.
Currently, the vacant ofce building on 6-8
and 10 Davis Drive generates about $150,000
annually in property taxes, with about a third
going to the city and the Belmont Fire
Protection District and the rest going to other
tax districts such as the Belmont-Redwood
School move in citys hands

Sept. 11 museum
agreement made
By Deepti Hajela
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK An agreement that
paves the way for the completion of the
Sept. 11 museum at ground zero was
reached on the eve of the 11th anniver-
sary of the terror attacks.
The memorandum of understanding
between the Port Authority of New
York and New Jersey and the founda-
tion that controls the National
September 11 Memorial & Museum
was announced Monday.
The museum was supposed to open
this month, but construction all but
ceased a year ago because of a funding
squabble between the foundation and
the Port Authority, which owns the
World Trade Center site.
Three powerful political figures
became entangled in the dispute: The
governors of New York and New Jersey
control the Port Authority, while New
York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg
is the foundations chairman.
By ensuring that no additional pub-
lic funds are spent to complete the memorial and museum,

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The United States has a serious lack of
qualied scientists, engineers and math-
ematicians to supply the countrys
changing workforce, Martha Kanter, the
U.S. under secretary for the Department
of Education, told a packed house at the
College of San Mateo yesterday.
An innovative new program to boost
science and math in the classroom called
Mentor Makerspace kicked off at
CSM yesterday.
Makerspace is a pilot program that
will get under way at 10 Bay Area
schools this fall and is the product of the
founders of Maker Faire, the annual
high-tech event held at the San Mateo
County Event Center every spring.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A church volunteer accused of inappropri-
ate relationships with young boys he met
through graphic online ads will stand trial on
more than four dozen lewd act charges after a
judge found sufcient evidence of all but two
counts.
Brandon Hamm, 37, of San Francisco, has
pleaded not guilty to the charges stemming
from three separate cases but was held to
answer on all but two charges of lewd acts
with a minor because they involved a police
ofcer posing as a juvenile. The judge did
allow charges of attempted acts to go forward.
Hamm will enter a Superior Court plea
Sept. 25 and possibly set a trial date.
South San Francisco police rst arrested
Hamm in June after an
ofcer posing as a young
boy responded to his
online advertisement seek-
ing horny skater boys.
Over several weeks, the
two exchanged emails and
Hamm reportedly sent
photographs of his geni-
tals and requested the
same. A detective who
met Hamm at a pre-
arranged spot reported him having a backpack
full of sex toys, lubricant and a cellphone con-
taining child pornography.
Hamm was prepared to post bail when
investigators located another alleged victim
who was 14 when he responded to a 2009
Craigslist ad posted by Hamm.
In that case, Hamm allegedly responded to
the boys advertisement and investigators have
several emails between them detailing the
conduct. The email also reportedly included
references to former Penn State assistant
coach and convicted sex offender Jerry
Sandusky.
He is also charged in the case of a 15-year-
old boy who allegedly met Hamm in October
2010 and continued a relationship with him
through his June 22 arrest.
Hamm was a volunteer with the Peninsula
Metropolitan Community Church in San
Mateo but the congregation suspended him
following his initial arrest.
He remains in custody in lieu of $200,000
bail.

A man convicted of rampaging through one
closed Redwood City business, looting two
others and attacking vehicles with a re extin-
guisher late last summer received a ve-year
suspended prison term for those crimes and an
unrelated weapon possession charge filed
while he was out of custody on bail.
Kevin Michael Dolf, 32, in March pleaded
no contest to second-degree burglary and van-
dalism in the rst case and later pleaded no
contest to felony possession of a shuriken, a
Japanese throwing star, and admitted commit-
ting a new felony while out on bail. He also
admitted having a prior criminal strike. At a
sentencing hearing for both cases, Dolf
received a ve-year, four-month suspended
prison term. He must also
spend a year in county jail
and serve three years pro-
bation.
Dolf was rst arrested
Aug. 14, 2011 after caus-
ing an estimated $18,000
worth of damage to down-
town Redwood City busi-
nesses. He began by
smashing out the wind-
shields and windows of three cars on Main
Street before continuing the so-called ram-
page inside a closed business. Dolf allegedly
broke the glass doors and windows of two
other businesses, ransacking the interiors and
putting stolen property in outside trash bins to
later be wheeled away.
When Redwood City police arrived, Dolf
allegedly barricaded himself inside one busi-
ness and hid inside a cabinet in hope of elud-
ing a police dog.
After police arrested Dolf, they reported he
appeared under the inuence of drugs and had
cocaine in his pocket.
A month after taking a plea deal in that case
and awaiting sentencing out of custody on
$50,000 bail, Dolf was arrested on suspicion
of possessing methamphetamine and the
shuriken.

SAN FRANCISCO Mistakes were made

The disclosure came as the Bay Area Air
Quality Management District held a public

response and the myriad investigations into
the Aug. 6 re that started after a leak in an old
pipe at the Richmond facility.
Regulators also told those who attended that
they are working to improve pollution moni-
toring during emergencies. District executive
ofcer Jack Broadbent said the initial, incor-
rect assertion that all air quality samples taken
near the renery re were safe clearly fell
short.

STATE GOVERNMENT
Gov. Jerry Brown has
signed a bill by Assemblyman
Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, that
could save up to $35 million for
water customers in San Mateo,
Santa Clara and Alameda coun-
ties.
Assembly Bill 2167 which
the governor signed Friday allows the Bay Area Water
Supply and Conservation Agency (BAWSCA) to issue
bonds at a low interest rate for the repayment of regional
drinking water infrastructure improvement costs, accord-
ing to Hills office.
BAWSCA represents 24 cities and water districts, and
two private utilities, that purchase water wholesale from
the San Francisco regional water system. These entities
provide water to 1.7 million people, businesses and com-
munity organizations in San Mateo, Santa Clara and
Alameda counties, according to Hills office.
BAWSCAs members are wholesale water customers of
the Hetch Hetchy Regional Water System. AB 2167
would clarify that BAWSCA may use its bond authority to
repay the remaining debt owed to the City and County of
San Francisco pursuant to the 2009 Water Supply
Agreement.
It is estimated that BAWSCA members could save up to
$35 million over 25 years by financing this debt with
lower interest bonds, according to Hills office.
To coincide with a bill awaiting the governors signa-
ture and a public forum scheduled for today, state Sen. Joe
Simitian, D-Palo Alto, has released a televised public
service announcement on the importance of women know-
ing their breast density.
The 30-second public service announcement, which will
be distributed to cable access and other television chan-
nels in the 11th Senate District, features Santa Cruz res-
ident Amy Colton, a breast cancer survivor, nurse and
advocate, sharing her story of her breast cancer being
missed for seven years by mammograms because of dense
breast tissue.
The announcement, which is also posted on YouTube,
can be viewed at http://youtu.be/983ZhxNzgnw. Today,

WASHINGTON Earth has
more than enough wind to power
the entire world, at least technically,
two new studies nd.
But the research looks only at
physics, not nances. Other experts
note it would be too costly to put up
all the necessary wind turbines and
build a system that could transmit
energy to all consumers.
The studies are by two different
U.S. science teams and were pub-
lished in separate journals on
Sunday and Monday. They calculate
that existing wind turbine technolo-
gy could produce hundreds of tril-
lions of watts of power. Thats more
than 10 times what the world now
consumes.
Wind power doesnt emit heat-
trapping gases like burning coal, oil
and natural gas. But there have been
questions, raised in earlier studies,
about whether physical limits would
prevent the world from being pow-
ered by wind.
The new studies, done independ-
ently, showed potential wind energy
limits wouldnt be an issue.
Money would be.
Its really a question about eco-
nomics and engineering and not a
question of fundamental resource
availability, said Ken Caldeira, a
climate scientist at the Palo Alto
campus of the Washington-based
Carnegie Institution for Science. He
is a co-author of one of the studies;
that one appeared Sunday in the
journal Nature Climate Change.
Caldeiras study nds wind has
the potential to produce more than
20 times the amount of energy the
world now consumes. Right now,
wind accounts for just a tiny frac-
tion of the energy the world con-
sumes. So to get to the levels these
studies say is possible, wind pro-
duction would have to increase dra-
matically.
If there were 100 new wind tur-
bines for every existing one, that
could do the trick says, Mark
Jacobson, a Stanford University
professor of civil and environmental
engineering.
Jacobson wrote the other study,
published in the Proceedings of the
National Academy of Sciences. It
shows a slightly lower potential in
the amount of wind power than
Caldeiras study. But he said it still
would amount to far more power
than the world now uses is or is like-
ly to use in the near future.
Jacobson said startup costs and
fossil fuel subsidies prevent wind
from taking off. The cheap price of
natural gas, for one thing, hurts
wind development, he added.
Studies: Wind potentially could power the world
County to refund
$2.5M in taxes
County supervisors Tuesday
morning will sign off on nearly $2.5
million tax refunds from 15 entities
that were inaccurately charged over
the last three years.
The total change to the assess-
ment roll is $2.59 million but
because refunds are only issued for
taxes already paid, the total refunds
for 2009, 2010 and 2011 is $2.47
million.
Fixes to the tax roll are not
uncommon among the tens of thou-
sands of assessments yearly but
refunds, corrections or cancellations
of taxes beyond $50,000 require
approval by the Board of
Supervisors. They will do so on the
consent agenda.
The two largest changes are due
to Wal-Mart.com USA LLC which
in both 2009 and 2010 it erroneous-
ly included personal computers
located in Arizona and disposed-of
equipment. The company will be
refunded $323,289.19 for 2009 and
$256,068.70 for 2010.
A number of other changes to
Solaire/Archstone, Tanforan
Crossing and Bay Meadows are
required to reect a change in own-
ership.

Why it matters:
The Economy
By Paul Wiseman
The issue:
The economy is weak and the job market brutal. Nearly 13
million Americans cant nd work; the national unemploy-
ment rate is 8.1 percent, the highest level ever three years after
a recession supposedly ended. A divided Washington has done
little to ease the misery.
Where they stand:
President Barack Obama wants to create jobs with govern-
ment spending on public works and targeted tax breaks to
businesses. Mitt Romney aims to generate hiring by keeping
income taxes low, slashing corporate taxes, relaxing or repeal-
ing regulations on businesses and encouraging production of
oil and natural gas.
Why it matters:
The economy didnt take off when the Great Recession
ended in June 2009. Growth has never been slower in the three
years after a downturn. The human toll is immense. Forty per-
cent of the jobless 5 million people have been out of
work for six months or more, their skills eroding and their
chances of finding good jobs fading. Federal Reserve
Chairman Ben Bernanke has declared long-term unemploy-
ment a national crisis. Millions of Americans have simply
given up looking for work.
The agonizing recovery is the consequence of the deepest
recession since the 1930s. The economy lost a staggering 8.8
million jobs and has only clawed back 4.1 million, or 46 per-
cent. A nancial crisis dried up credit. Collapsing house prices
destroyed $6.5 trillion worth of home equity the biggest
source of wealth for most families. More than 1 in 5 home-
owners is stuck with a house worth less than the mortgage on
it. Feeling poorer, families have limited their spending and
paid down debts. Theyve had another reason to hunker down:
The weak job market has let employers keep wages low. For
most Americans, pay hasnt kept up with even modest ina-
tion.
Weeks after he took ofce, Obama pushed $862 billion
worth of tax cuts and government spending programs through
Congress. The package was meant to generate economic
growth and revive hiring. Romney and other Republicans
have declared the stimulus program a failure. But most econo-
mists and the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Ofce
say it kept unemployment from going even higher.
Still, faced with a persistently sluggish economy, Obama
proposed another plan last year to rev up hiring with increased
spending on public works projects and tax breaks to small
businesses.

WASHINGTON Congress
returned to Washington on Monday for
an abbreviated pre-election session in
which it appears likely to do the bare
minimum: making sure that the govern-
ment doesnt shut down.
Almost everything else of conse-
quence, most notably a set of automatic,
economy-rattling spending cuts and tax
increases that have been dubbed a scal
cliff, will get put off until a post-election
lame duck session and maybe beyond.
Top lawmakers hoped to unveil a six-
month spending bill later Monday that
would nance the governments day-to-
day operations until next March to give
the next Congress and whomever occu-
pied the White House time to work out a
nal solution on more than $1 trillion in
annual spending for the Pentagon and
other Cabinet departments.
Typically such temporary funding
bills, known in Washington parlance as
continuing resolutions, or CRs, freeze
spending at current levels. But the meas-
ure expected to be unveiled Monday
actually allows for a less than 1 percent
increase to every program to keep pace
with a slight increase in spending permit-
ted by caps set by last summers hard-
fought budget and debt accord.
The 2012 budget year ends on Sept.
30. But not a single one of the 12 annual
agency appropriations bills has become
law, requiring lawmakers to step in with
the stopgap funding measure to avoid a
disastrous partial shutdown of the gov-
ernment.
Congress returns for

Romney: Chicago teachers
turning backs on students
WASHINGTON Republican pres-
idential nominee Mitt Romney said
Monday that striking Chicago teachers
are turning their backs on thousands of
students and that President Barack
Obama is rooting for them. Obamas
top spokesman said the president has
not taken sides but is urging both the
teachers and the city to settle quickly.
Chicagos mayor, Obama ally Rahm
Emanuel, called Romneys statement
lip service as the contract dispute in
the nations third-largest school system
inserted itself into the hard-fought
presidential campaign.
Hours before he was to arrive in
Chicago to raise money for his cam-
paign, Romney said in a statement that
he chooses to side with the parents
and students depending on public
schools to give them the skills to suc-
ceed.

MANSFIELD, Ohio Its all about Ohio
again.
The economy has improved here, and so
has President Barack Obamas standing, put-
ting pressure on Republican Mitt Romney in a
state critical to his presidential hopes.
No Republican has won the White House
without winning Ohio, and Romney hopes to
catch Obama here by slashing at his jobs
record in working-class regions.
America doesnt have to have the long face
it has had under this president, the
Republican shouted Monday to a cheering
audience in hard-scrabble Mansfield, just
weeks after Obama visited. We can get
America rolling again, growing again.
In a sign of the states importance, hardly a
week goes without the candidates appearing in
Ohio. Same goes for their running mates;
Republican Paul Ryan was campaigning in the
Appalachian southeast Wednesday, following
a similar weekend trip by Vice President Joe
Biden, who is to return to the state Wednesday.
Less than two months
from Election Day, both
parties say their internal
campaign polling shows
Obama with a narrow lead
in Ohio, a Midwestern
state that offers 18
Electoral College votes
and has played an impor-
tant role in determining
every recent White House
race.
Numbers tell the story of the high stakes
and, perhaps, show why Obama has been able
to maintain an edge and why Romney
remains within striking distance.
The candidates and supportive outside
groups have spent a stunning $112 million on
TV advertising in the state one-sixth the
total spent nationwide. And Obama and
groups that support him have been outspend-
ing Romney and Republican-leaning inde-
pendent groups here all summer, outpacing
the GOP $2 million to $1 million last week
alone. Thats despite Romney having tapped
into his general election bank account last
week to boost his ads
here.
All year, the race here
has been close. A
Quinnipiac University
poll in April after
Romney locked up the
Republican nomination
showed a 1-point race
among registered voters
in the state. But two
recent polls Quinnipiac/CBS/New York
Times in August and July showed Obama
up 6 percentage points among likely voters,
and reaching 50 percent, a key marker for an
endangered incumbent.
Both Republicans and Democrats say
internal surveys show it tighter now, with
Obama leading by about 3 percentage
points.
Still, Democrats are almost giddy that
Obama has been able to show strength in
this manufacturing state, which suffered
during the recession but has seen its unem-
ployment rate fall from 7.7 percent in
January to 7.2 percent in July.
While Obama stayed in Washington on
Monday, the presidents team also reveled in
the fact that he edged Romney in monthly
fundraising $114 million vs. $111 mil-
lion for the first time in three months, as
well as in national opinion surveys that
showed the Democrats standing improving
a bit after his national nominating conven-
tion in Charlotte, N.C., last week.
In Ohio, Romney looked to take advan-
tage of Obamas absence, blistering the
president over deep defense cuts scheduled
as part of a deficit-reduction proposal.
Those possible cuts mean the city would
lose its 179th Air National Guard unit,
which would cost hundreds of jobs. Thats
on top of a GM plant that closed in nearby
Ontario, Ohio, two years ago.
It will be bad for employment if it goes
forward. It will also be bad for our national
security, Romney said, promising to block
such cuts as president.
Here and elsewhere, Obama is working to
spread a message of economic progress,
despite a national unemployment rate stuck
above 8 percent.

Free Marketing Seminar

Sponsorad by:
SAN FRANCISCO Hewlett-Packard
Co. is planning to cut about 2,000 more jobs
than it had previously announced as CEO
Meg Whitman tries to turn the company
around.
In a regulatory filing Monday, the comput-
er and printer maker said it will eliminate
29,000 jobs by October 2014, up from the
27,000 cuts it announced in May when HP
employed about 350,000 people.
The company, which is based in Palo Alto
didnt explain why it had raised the number.
The revision comes amid signs that the
already slumping personal computer market
may weaken even further as an increasing
number of sleek smartphones and tablet com-
puters win over consumers.
The shift to mobile devices has hurt HP, the
worlds largest maker of PCs. HP is prepar-
ing to release a new line of tablets this fall
and has been trying to diversify into more
profitable lines of technology, such as busi-
ness software and consulting, but Whitman
has cautioned it will take several years for the
company to bounce back from a litany of
problems, including a
lack of innovation and
acquisitions that havent
panned out.
For instance, the dimin-
ished value of HPs 2008
acquisition of consulting
service Electronic Data
Systems saddled the com-
pany with an $8.9 billion
loss in its most recent
quarter.
About 8,500 workers already have accept-
ed early retirement offers. Most of those
employees left HP Aug. 31, according to
Mondays filing. The rest of the early retirees
will depart by the end of August 2013.
ISI Group analyst Brian Marshall estimat-
ed that HP will save an additional $200 mil-
lion annually by cutting an extra 2,000 jobs.
In May, the company had estimated its aus-
terity drive would reduce its annual expenses
by $3 billion to $3.5 billion.
The company expects to record charges
totaling $3.7 billion to cover the costs of pay-
ing departing workers and other cost-cutting
measures.
Zynga chief marketing,
revenue officer resigns
SAN FRANCISCO Jeff Karp, the chief
marketing and chief revenue ofcer at Zynga,
has become the latest executive to leave the
struggling online company behind FarmVille
and other games.
In August, Chief Operating Ofcer John
Schappert left the company after less than a
year and a half on the job. Schapperts exit was
followed by that of Mike Verdu, the companys
chief creative ofcer.
Karp was hired at Zynga Inc. in August 2011.
Zynga says the groups that Karp oversaw
have been moved to other divisions in the com-
pany. That means he is not being replaced.
We are grateful to Jeff for his contributions
over the last year and wish him well in his
future endeavors, Zynga said in a statement.
Draft order seeks to
improve U.S. digital defenses
WASHINGTON The Obama administra-
tion is preparing an executive order with new
rules to protect U.S. computer systems, after
Congress failed earlier this summer to pass a
cybersecurity bill. The provisions include vol-
untary standards for companies, a special coun-
cil run by the Homeland Security Department
and new regulations covering especially vital
systems, according to a draft of the order
obtained by the Associated Press.
But just weeks before the election, the White
House risks complaints that President Barack
Obama is anti-business from Republicans and
the same pro-business groups that killed the
legislation on Capitol Hill.
GoDaddy Web outage
takes out small-business sites
NEW YORK Thousands and possibly
millions of websites hosted by GoDaddy.com
went down for several hours on Monday, caus-
ing trouble for the mainly small businesses that
rely on the service.
A Twitter feed that claimed to be afliated
with the Anonymous hacker group said it was
behind the outage, but this couldnt be con-
rmed. Another Twitter account, known to be
associated with Anonymous, suggested the rst
one was just taking advantage of an outage it
had nothing to do with.
GoDaddy spokeswoman Elizabeth Driscoll
said the outage began shortly after 1 p.m. EDT.
By around 5:50 p.m. EDT, the GoDaddy.com
website and sites hosted by the company were
back up and running.

OPINION 9
November election
Editor,
All of the experts and pundits claim
that Romney and Ryan are unlikeable
and unelectable. The polls show Obama
leading in the important swing states. Is
there something missing that we dont
know about? The Obama campaign has
recruited former president Bill Clinton
to join them on the campaign trail. If
Obama is likeable and leading in the
polls why do they need former
President Bill Clinton?

Leaf blowers
Editor,
Kudos to the mayor and folks of San
Mateo for trying for a leaf blower ban.
All the compelling reasons were men-
tioned in John Ebneters letter in the
Sept. 10 edition of the Daily Journal:
decrease in air quality due to constant
churning of dust, pollen and other par-
ticulates; spewing of toxic fumes;
obnoxious noise.
It is time for Palo Alto to follow San
Mateos lead and have the courage to
revisit this issue, after our failed leaf
blower ban on gas-powered machines.
The gas-powered leaf blowers have
again proliferated as any pedestrian or
biker in Palo Alto will tell you. San
Mateo would be wise to avoid the pit-
falls of Palo Altos awed enforcement
policy.

Tax the rich
Editor,
Your neighbor has ve cars, in pur-
chasing them; the neighbor has
enhanced the community by helping
all of the persons responsible for the
manufacturing, licensing, government
fees, insurance and supplies to operate.
You cannot afford a car at this time,
and believe that it is fair for you to
take one of your neighbors cars; in
doing so, you have helped no one but
yourself.
Your neighbor still has cars so he is
not really hurt, except now he is scared
to purchase any more for fear that you
or someone else will take it, too.
Now who are you hurting?

Letters to the editor
By Art Kiesel
L
ast month, I wrote about pen-
sion reform and the governors
12-point plan toward achieving
some level of reform (Pension reform
in the Aug. 3 edition of the Daily
Journal). The Legislature has seemingly
been reluctant to address this issue until
recently. Quite frankly, I expected
Sacramento to pass on taking any
action on pension reform until at least
after the November election. However,
on Tuesday, Aug. 28, the state
announced legislation (AB 340) con-
cerning perhaps one of the most impor-
tant issues facing the nancial health of
municipalities: pension reform.
The process for this legislation is
shaping up to be much like other con-
troversial topics such as the state budg-
et and redevelopment. The state
Legislature has embraced last-minute
introduction of controversial legislation
as part of their methodology by allow-
ing very little time to analyze the merits
of such legislation. It does seem that
the people for whom our state elected
ofcials are supposed to represent are
not well served by the middle-of-the-
night tactics with the hasty process on
such important long-term issues.
The last budget, which contained
more than 700 pages, was presented
and passed in less than a week just so
our legislators could get paid, as dictat-
ed by Proposition 25. My experience
has told me that decisions made in
haste have seldom worked out in the
long run. The current pension reform
package was presented on Tuesday and
both houses of the Legislature are
expected to read, digest, gather input
from interested parties and form a well-
researched decision
by Friday. Along
with the pension
reform legislation
were other proposed
bills that the
Legislature consid-
ered in hopes of
speeding them
through the process
by the Aug. 31
recess. They were faced with many
bills to consider without really knowing
either their content or their long-term
ramications.
California municipalities are drown-
ing under the nancial burden of unsus-
tainable pensions and I do not believe
that hastily decided reform is in their
best interest nor is it in the best interest
of its citizens. We in Foster City have a
$21 million pension liability and, with
only $13 million by the end of this s-
cal year, that money will have to come
from somewhere some current and
mostly future Foster City taxpayers.
Our salaries and related benets
expense is approximately 77 percent of
the general fund operating budget and
increasing each year.
What appears to be the main theme to
the pension reform package is placed
upon future employees to the system,
those hired after Jan. 1, 2012. Although
the proposed legislation should have
long-term nancial benets to munici-
palities, the short-term issues are being
ignored. Those hired after Jan. 1, 2012
will not be the ones drawing pensions
for at least 15 years or more. So what is
being done to address the funds to pay
those retiring during the next 10 years?
Must we live with the continuing drain
on the unsustainable pension system for
another 5, 10 or more years? Where are
the funds going to come from to pay
for these unfunded pensions? More
than likely it will come from our pock-
etbooks in the form of increased taxes,
reduced services or a combination of
both.
The governor has stated this pension
reform legislation will make fundamen-
tal changes that rein in costs. But those
cost savings he is talking about will not
be seen for at least 15 years. Very little
is being done to address the near-term
pension problem. Because of many
decades of court rulings concerning
public employee retirements and bene-
ts, little has been done. What is it
going to take to address the short-term
pension issue more municipalities
ling for protection under bankruptcy
laws? I do applaud Sacramento for at
least addressing the long-awaited and
controversial pension reform legislation
in this election season.
The economy is not roaring back and
pensions are out of control especially
with the increased retirements from the
baby boomers. I have always been
someone with a can-do look on life.
If someone sees an outcome other than
a pending train wreck in the nancial
future of municipalities, please assist
me with seeing it.

Pension reform part II
Sept. 11, 2012
I
s today a regular day yet? A mundane, average day
like any other, when talk is dominated by the
weather and the latest sports headlines, when there
is nothing good on television, when the worst thing that
happens is running out of toothpaste.
Is it now the kind of day when the first thought in the
morning is of strong coffee and briefly playing hooky
from work instead of realizing how quickly another year
has passed? Has
enough time come
and gone?
Eleven years after
Sept. 11, 2001, this
day still isnt ordi-
nary. Never will be
again. Even for those
who werent physical-
ly present when the
planes crashed or had
a loved one ripped
away cannot erase the
indelible images of
fire and smoke, the
feelings of shock and
helplessness. The
fear, the anger, some-
times even the numbness no wonder it felt like
nobody could ever forget, let alone go on with their
lives.
Even a year after a tragedy, when pieces are still
being picked up and the light of a future only beginning
to emerge, the edges of memory are still sharp enough
to wound. The vigils are plentiful, the tears quick to
come. Questions may still outweigh answers and its
hard to believe life was different a mere 365 days ago.
Two years pass, then five, then eight. By 10, the memo-
ries like rocks have tumbled around the mind enough to
dull, if not quite polish. What then does the 11th
anniversary bring new other than continuing proof that a
nation, a community or an individual can eventually put
one foot in front the other like so many others who sur-
vived past anguishes?
For those further removed from the loss, life is
undoubtedly a lot closer to normal. Get the kids to
school, remember to pick up milk, decide what outfit to
set out for the next day. And, oh yeah, today is Sept. 11.
Those whose memories arent a firsthand nightmare or
who dont still hear voices long gone cant be blamed
for feeling like there is little left to say.
Two years after Sept. 9, 2010, the day isnt ordinary
either. People in other parts of the nation likely dont
think of it as the day a San Bruno neighborhood was
torn apart. Those outside the Bay Area likely dont
recall immediately that the date marks the second
anniversary of the gas pipeline explosion and fire that
killed eight and turned an unremarkable night on the
Peninsula into something completely opposite. But there
is still plenty to remember, plenty to feel. The entire
nation not relating doesnt make the event any less valid
or important.
One year after Sept. 9, 2011, the day isnt ordinary
either, at least not for me. That is the day my father
passed away. Unlike Sept. 11, there will never be scores
of documentaries about the event. Unlike San Bruno,
there will not be memorials and lawsuits. There are no
headlines, no books. The loss is not that of a nation or a
community but of a daughter. And, tumultuous relation-
ship with him aside, its fair to say a year certainly isnt
enough time to remove the sting.
I dont know if two years will be enough either. Or
three or five or 10. Or 11.
So while those of us in the business of chronicling
history are often called upon to sum it up with some
perfectly astute turn of phrase, frankly there are no such
things as the right words for everybody or every
tragedy.
Possibly it shows my failings as a writer, but I cannot
pretend to do justice to the experience of 9/11. I cannot
be more than an outsider to the stomach-turning loss of
family and friends in San Bruno. Honestly, I dont real-
ly even have the precise words for my own lifes recent
commemoration.
Maybe the best thing then is not to try. Maybe the
best way to mark 11 years, two years and in my case
one year is simply to count each year passed as a
victory and another step toward reaching a semblance of
normal.

NEW YORK Stocks slipped on
Wall Street as troubling economic news
from China and the U.S. outweighed
optimism about more stimulus from the
Federal Reserve.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
52.35 points to close at 13,254.29 on
Monday. The Standard & Poors 500
slipped 8.84 points to 1,429.08 and the
Nasdaq composite fell 32.40 points to
3,104.02.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq were
dragged down more than the Dow by a
drop in Apples stock, the largest com-
ponent of both indexes. Apple, which is
expected to announce its new iPhone on
Wednesday, fell $17.70, or 2.6 percent,
to $662.74.
The stumble marks a pause in a rally
last week that took the Dow and the S&P
500 to their highest levels in more than
four years.
Stock markets rose around the world
last week after the European Central
Bank announced a long-anticipated plan
to support struggling countries in the
European Union.
Investors are hopeful that the Fed will
act this week to support the U.S. econo-
my. The monetary policymaking body of
the Federal Reserve meets on
Wednesday and Thursday. Many antici-
pate a third round of bond purchases or
other support for the nancial system.
Federal Reserve chairman Ben
Bernanke indicated in a speech last
month that the central bank is inclined to
provide new stimulus to the U.S. econo-
my if its needed.
Since the speech, the government
reported weak growth in jobs last month,
heightening the case for more stimulus.
There have also been new signs that
manufacturing and construction are
slowing down.
On Monday, the Fed also reported that
Americans cut back on their credit card
use in July for the second straight month,
suggesting many remain cautious in the
face of high unemployment and slow
economic growth. Total borrowing
dipped $3.3 billion in July from June to
a seasonally adjusted $2.705 trillion.
The economy is not going through a
nosedive, so Im not sure we need anoth-
er stimulus, said John Manley, chief
equity strategist at Wells Fargo
Advantage Funds. But Bernanke would
rather make a mistake going in early
with stimulus than not, especially since
the markets will not tolerate inaction.
There was also discouraging news out
of China, giving investors more reason
to worry that one of the most important
engines of the global economy is sput-
tering. Auto sales growth slowed in
August and imports shrank unexpected-
ly. Factory output also slid to three-year
low last month. The Chinese president
warned growth could slow further.

H
igh school offensive linemen often
spend most of their careers in
anonymity. Toiling selessly to
open holes for running backs, who get most
of the praise when they rip off a big play, or
backpedaling, trying to protect the quarter-
back, giving him enough time to throw the
ball before the defense collapses around him.
Every now and then, however, an offensive
lineman gets a chance
to have all eyes on
him and not
because he made a
glaring mistake. San
Mateos Amar
Kaddura got a chance
to be the focus of the
Bearcats highlight
reel during their 40-
21 loss to Aragon
Friday night, even if
the play didnt count.
Following San
Mateos rst touch-
down, the Bearcats
lined up to kick the extra point. The snap,
however, sailed over the head of place-kicker
Larry Campbell, who scrambled back to pick
it up. He briey thought of trying to run the
ball in from 25 yards out, but instead threw a
perfect spiral toward the end zone. To no one
in particular, really.
The only one waiting there was Kaddura,
who not only made the catch, but bulled his
way across the goal line with an Aragon
defender draped all over him.
After Kaddura was nally wrestled down,
his teammates mobbed him in the end zone.
Unfortunately, there would be no 2-point
conversion because as an offensive lineman,
he is ineligible to catch the ball. Unlike the
college or professional ranks where linemen
can declare themselves as eligible offensive
players which would allow them to catch the

Thaure leads stout Sacred Heart Prep defense
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Its tting that Sacred Heart Preps Daniel
Thaure plays the gator position on the foot-
ball eld for the Gators.
In two games this season, the Gators are
undefeated and at the heart of that success is a
defense that has given up only nine points.
Thaures play at the gator position has a lot to
do with that.
Like our coach keeps telling us: This is one
of the better defenses hes had at Sacred Heart
in a while, Thaure said. And I know a lot of
the players know that. But
he tells us, pride comes
before the fall. That moti-
vates us a lot. I dont want
our defense to get too
cocky. We try to humble
the team a lot and play
every game like its the
first game and we have
something to prove. I think
we plan on playing like
that the rest of the season.
You wouldnt blame Thaure and the Gators
for feeling condent. In last Fridays 27-3 win
over Mountain View, the Gators turned the
Spartans into a one-dimensional team. A
cohesiveness on defense was the key to the
win.
And in the middle of all that fun was
Thaure, who accounted for 11 tackles in the
win.
For his efforts, Thaure is the San Mateo
Daily Journal Athlete of the Week.
Honestly, I felt like our whole team was in
the zone that game, Thaure said. Everyone
was moving to the ball quickly. Our lineback-
ers were playing really well. Our defensive
backs were covering the at perfectly. I felt
we were really connected, talking to each
other and I felt like we stuck it to the
Mountain View offense. We shut them down
pretty well.
We knew No. 5 (Marcus Jones) was a pret-
ty big threat to our defense. So we read a lot
of the plays, how to read their sets and what to
know about them. We were coached well. We
knew they would attack the ats and I think
we covered that pretty well.
In shutting down Mountain View, the Gators

Niners make a statement
REUTERS
After an impressive 30-22 road win against the Green Bay Packers, 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh has his San Francisco team riding high.
SANTA CLARA Jim Harbaughs San
Francisco 49ers showed all the same poise and
big playmaking ability not to mention dom-
inant defense against NFL MVP Aaron
Rodgers in a season-opening statement vic-
tory at Green Bay as they did in coming so
close to a Super Bowl last season.
Who said the reigning NFC West champions
couldnt do it all again even with a far more
daunting schedule?
Its a big win, three-time Pro Bowl running
back Frank Gore said Monday, a day after rush-
ing for a key 23-yard touchdown with 8:41 left
at Lambeau Field. Weve got to keep going,
keep working.
The Niners snapped an eight-game losing
streak in Green Bay dating to 1990. More than
that, they showed they are a legitimate NFC
contender for the second straight season.
From the day the schedule came out, many
looked at San Franciscos games and saw the
list as much more challenging than a year ago
starting in Week 1 on the road against the
Packers.
Even Harbaugh acknowledged his team
might not have as many wins in 2012. Now, the
Niners are 7-2 on the road since he took over
before last season and became NFL Coach of
the Year. That road mark ranks second in team

Murray wins U.S. Open
REUTERS
Andy Murray celebrates a winner in Mondays U.S. Open nal.
NEW YORK His considerable
lead, and a chance at history, slip-
ping away, Andy Murray dug deep
for stamina and mental strength,
outlasting Novak Djokovic in a
thrilling ve-set, nearly ve-hour
U.S. Open nal Monday.
It had been 76 years since a
British man won a Grand Slam sin-
gles championship and, at least for
Murray, it was well worth the wait.
Ending a nations long drought,
and snapping his own four-nal skid
in majors, Murray finally pulled
through with everything at stake on
a Grand Slam stage, shrugging off
defending champion Djokovics
comeback bid to win 7-6 (10), 7-5,
2-6, 3-6, 6-2.
Relief is probably the best word I
would use to describe how Im feel-
ing just now, Murray said, adding:
You do think: Is it ever going to
happen?
Yes, Murray already had showed
he could come up big by winning
the gold medal in front of a home
crowd at the London Olympics last
month. But this was different. This
was a Grand Slam tournament, the
standard universally used to meas-
ure tennis greatness and the
287th since Britains Fred Perry
won the 1936 U.S. Championships,
as the event was known back then.
He deserved to win this Grand
Slam more than anybody, Djokovic
said of Murray, who will rise to No.
3 in the rankings behind No. 1
Roger Federer and No. 2 Djokovic.
Murray vs. Djokovic was a test of
will as much as skill, lasting 4
hours, 54 minutes, tying the record
for longest U.S. Open nal. The
rst-set tiebreakers 22 points set a
tournament mark. They repeatedly
produced fantastic, tales-in-them-
selves points, lasting 10, 20, 30,
even 55 yes, 55! strokes,
counting the serve.
Giants rally falls short
.
DENVER Rockies pitcher
Alex White homered and Colorado
finally solved a struggling Ryan
Vogelsong, beating the San
Francisco Giants 6-5 Monday night
to snap a ve-game losing streak.
Buster Posey and Hunter Pence
went deep for the Giants, who lost
for only the second time in 10 road
games. San Franciscos lead in the
NL West was trimmed to ve games
over the idle Los Angeles Dodgers.
Trailing 6-2, the Giants got a two-
run homer from Posey in the sev-
enth inning off reliever Rex
Brothers and pulled within one in
the eighth. Brandon Crawford drew
a one-out walk from Matt Belisle,
pinch-hitter Aubrey Huff singled
and Angel Pagan followed with an
RBI double, his third hit of the
game.
Belisle got out of the jam by retir-
ing Marco Scutaro and Pablo
Sandoval.
Guillermo Moscoso (2-1) picked
up the victory by working two
innings, allowing one run on three
hits. Rafael Betancourt pitched a 1-
2-3 ninth for his 28th save in 33
chances.
Colorado manager Jim Tracy
was ejected in the bottom of the
seventh by second base umpire
Angel Campos after a heated argu-
ment over an inning-ending double
play. Campos ruled that Scutaro
tagged Josh Rutledge before
throwing to first to get Carlos
Gonzalez. Tracy, ejected for the
third time this season, argued that
Scutaro missed the tag.
The Rockies also lost catcher
Ramon Hernandez to a left ham-
string strain sustained while running
out a double in the fourth. He was
replaced by pinch-runner Wilin
Rosario, who advanced when Chris
Nelson reached on rst baseman
Brandon Belts elding error and
came home on Charlie Blackmons
double-play grounder.
Vogelsong (12-8) allowed four
runs and six hits over ve innings in
losing for the rst time in seven
career starts against the Rockies
while with the Giants. The outing
extended a tough stretch over his
last six starts since Aug. 13 in which
he has gone 2-3, allowing 28 runs
on 43 hits in 26 1-3 innings for an
ERA of 9.57.
As stay strong against Angels
ANAHEIM Jarrod Parker
pitched seven innings of three-hit
ball, Brandon Moss and Cliff
Pennington homered, and the
Oakland Athletics snapped the Los
Angeles Angels six-game winning
streak with a 3-1 victory Monday
night.
Coco Crisp hit a leadoff triple and
scored for the As, who opened a key
four-game series against their
California rivals with a measure of
revenge for the Angels three-game
sweep in Oakland last week. Those
are the only losses since Aug. 23 for
the As, who have won 13 of 16.
With his second straight impres-
sive start against Los Angeles after a
hard-luck loss last week, Parker (10-
8) and his bullpen held the Angels
surging lineup to four hits. Los
Angeles scored just one run for only
the second time in its last 22 games.
Ryan Cook worked the eighth,
and Grant Balfour nished unevent-
fully for his 17th save.
Dan Haren (10-11) pitched into
the seventh inning, allowing just
four hits and striking out four. But
Oakland turned those hits into three
runs, and Haren took his rst loss
since Aug. 16.
Torii Hunter drove in Mike Trout
with a third-inning double for the
Angels (77-64), who had won 11 of
12 and 15 of 18 in their desperate
late surge to join the playoff race.
With its rst home loss in seven
games, Los Angeles blew a chance
to pull within a half-game of
Baltimore (78-62) for the second
AL wild-card spot. Tampa Bay (77-
63) is between the Orioles and the
Angels.
Oakland (80-60), which is in the
rst wild-card slot, is 20 games over
.500 for the rst time since the end
of the 2006 season also the year
of the As last postseason appear-
ance. The As also pulled within
three games of idle Texas (83-57)
atop the AL West.
Oakland has won eight of the
clubs last 11 meetings at Angel
Stadium.

Menlo College soccer bounces back nicely
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Lady Oaks brief two-game
road swing in Arizona concluded
with a win and a loss, after Menlo
College dropped their soccer opener
on Friday to Embry-Riddle (2-3-1),
before bouncing back with a 3-0
win over Arizona Christian (1-2-1)
on Saturday. The split moves the
Oaks record to 4-2 a victory
away from duplicating their 2011
win total.
The teams combined for four rst
half scores, with the Lady Oaks
coming out of the rst 45 minutes
down 3-1 the eventual nal out-
come.
We didnt play poorly that rst
game, said Menlo College head
coach Scott Myers. We were in
some difcult conditions, the eld
was wet and we were able to deal
with it poorly those rst few min-
utes. The other team beat us on it.
But really the second half, we
turned it around and did extremely
well.
Menlo had their hands full early,
thanks to a rapid-re Eagles goal
just 1:57 into the match. Senior for-
ward Kelsey Anderson found the
back of the net to give Riddle the
quick 1-0 advantage. Anderson
would play a factor later in the rst
stanza, helping produce Riddles
second goal of the half by setting up
freshman Kalyn Goodenough in the
23rd minute for a 2-0 lead.
The Oaks responded behind jun-
ior Natalie Ingrams fth goal of the
season coming in the 24th minute,
but Goodenough was at it again
with a penalty shot score in the 31st
minute to give Riddle their 3-1
advantage.
The Lady Oaks would show their
resiliency just 24 hours later, rack-
ing up a 3-0 victory over the
Firestorm of Arizona Christian.
We set simple goals for the
weekend, Myers said. And really
we able to do that. The unique thing
about the second game was we were
able to start a couple kids in their
rst game, which was a key for us.
It shows us a bit about our depth.
The Oaks back line of the
defense, led by sophomore Kayla
Cisneroz, kept ACU to six total
shots throughout the course of 90
minutes.
Offensively, Ingram continued her
impressive early season play. The
San Jose native helped open the
scoring with an assist on an Amanda
Martinez goal in the 16th minute
and then put one in the back of the
net less than 10 minutes later.
Ingram now has six goals in six
games, while Martinez has scorched
in two herself.
She started off the season as a
defender and weve kind of moved
her to a forward, Myers said of
Ingram. And shes been extremely
successful for us because she has a
uniqueness to her that isnt found in
the girls game where shes willing
to go after it and be physical and
really work hard. Shes pretty
aggressive, which is a pretty big
thing for her.
Menlo expanded on their 2-0
intermission lead thanks to an Erika
Savela score in the 60th minute of
play. Savela had assisted on the
Ingram goal to give her a three-point
evening. Junior Erica Hunting set
up the Savela score with a through
ball to help push the Oaks margin to
3-0.
The defense and goalkeeper
Whitney Galindo took it from there,
as Galindo made ve saves for her
third shutout of the year. Menlo also
proved to be relentless in their
attack with 14 total shots, nine of
which were on point.
Savelas efforts for the week
earned her the Cal Pacs Player of
the Week award.
As of Sept. 8, Savela was rst in
the conference in assists (5), tied for
rst in game winning goals (1), sec-
ond in points (11) and shots (17)
and tied for sixth in goals (3).
Weve been fortunate early,
Myers said. Weve been able to
win games that have sent us on the
right track. The girls are getting a
taste for winning and they now
know what it takes to win.
On the Menlo mens soccer side,
the Oaks sent their fans home happy
in the 2012 Wunderlich Field open-
er, pulling through for a 3-1 victory
over Westmont College (1-1).
Two early second half scores
helped Menlo pull away, as the
Oaks turned a 1-0 advantage into a
3-0 cushion.
The win extends Menlos record
to 2-0-1.
Menlo College senior Alex
Palomarez had ve saves and was
selected as the California Pacic
Conference Mens Soccer
Defensive Player of the Week fol-
lowing his performances.
As of Sept. 8, Palomarez was rst
in the conference in goals against
average (.62), tied for first in
shutouts (1) and sixth in saves per
match (4).
NDNU VOLLEYBALL GETS
MIXED RESULTS AT ROUTE 92
The Route 92 Showdown had its
ups and down for the Notre Dame
de Namur volleyball team.
The second day of the Route 92
Showdown was more successful for
the Argos volleyball team as they
picked up their rst win of the sea-
son. NDNU rallied back from a
two-set decit to Holy Names to
take the nal three sets. However, in
the nightcap, the Argos fell to San
Francisco State in straight sets.
The Argos beat the Hawks 22-25,
18-25, 30-28, 26-24, 17-15.
Jennifer Jasper led all players
with a season-high 19 kills while
Brooke DeMiguel added 15 and
Kawai Robins-Hardy tacked on 12.
Michelle Hines had 28 digs with
Anna Jayo and Jaqueline Harper
combining for 49 assists. Jasper also
led the Argos with eight blocks.
In the nightcap, SFSU beat the
Argos in three sets.
The Gators came out on re, tak-
ing the rst two games by a score of
25-11 and 25-13. SFSU hit .281 in
the rst set before hitting .536 in the
second on 17 kills. In the third set,
NDNU tied the game at 23-23
before the Gators took the nal two
points to win the match.
DeMiguel paced the Argos with
nine kills while Anna Jayo dished
out 23 assists. Kell Ostello led the
way with 13 kills for San Francisco
State while Megan Johnson added
nine.
Jasper was named to the Route 92
All-Tournament team.
WINGATE-PEARCE
STRIKES AGAIN FOR ARGOS
Sophomore Mikhail Wingate-
Pearce once again delivered the
game-winning-goal, scoring with
1:25 remaining to give the Notre
Dame de Namur mens soccer team
a 1-0 victory over Westmont this
weekend.
Wingate-Pearce headed home a
free kick cross from Jesus Gonzalez
to help the Argos improve to 3-1.
The win marked the second
straight game Wingate-Pearce
ended for the Argos after scoring the
game-winner in overtime against
San Francisco State.
It also marked the third consecu-
tive game the center back has scored
a goal.
In the 89th minute, Miguel
Vasquez drew a foul on the left side,
giving NDNU a free kick.
Gonzalez lined up the kick and
delivered a perfect cross to the front
of the net. Wingate-Pearce then rose
above everyone to head the ball into
the right side of the goal.
The assist was Gonzalezs fourth
of the season in as many games
while Wingate-Pearce scored his
team-leading third goal.
The Argos held a 21-7 shot advan-
tage for the game, putting seven
shots on target. NDNU used three
goalies in the contest with Charvet
earning the victory with 54 minutes
of scoreless action.
Notre Dame-Belmont battles the heat, wins Tennis Classic
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Notre Dame High Schools varsi-
ty tennis coach Margaret Goldsmith
suspects her team elded a couple
of inquiries about their choice of
clothing Monday morning at school.
Instead of their usual uniforms,
the Lady Tigers sported champi-
onship swag from a hard-fought
tournament victory at the California
Girls Tennis Classic in Clovis.
The green-aqua colored T-shirts
were a testament to the teams per-
severance, Goldsmith said.
When your friends ask you, oh,
whats that? Tell them you earned
that, Goldsmith said, and the girls
were really excited to wear those
shirts and show off their success.
And Im hoping theres a trickle
down. People want to do things that
are successful. So I think its going
to be a huge motivator within the
school.
The Lady Tigers won four of their
ve matches over the weekend tour-
nament, taking the Division 7 title
4-2 in a match against Golden West
High School.
My girls played really, really
well, Goldsmith said. Being from
the Bay Area, they certainly werent
used to the temperatures. But they
just dug in, played well and it was
truly a team effort. We got contribu-
tions from everyone.
Goldsmith said her team battled
the elements, with temperatures
reaching 100 degrees on Friday and
98 on Saturday.
I denitely think that most of my
players played in the off-season,
Goldsmith said of her teams ability
to perform well despite the heat.
They played all summer long and
thats really where they dug deep.
Notre Dames road to the champi-
onship began with a team effort in
Fridays round robin play. Alivia
Horsely, Maddy Ching Lyddie
Daily and Riley McGlinichy went
undefeated in the round robin por-
tion of the tournament. Three of the
teams victories were of the 6-0
variety.
Going in we knew that we had to
win as many games as we possibly
could and thats really what deter-
mined us winning the round robin,
Goldsmith said. Those (round
robin matches) were huge.
Goldsmith highlighted the effort

history to George Seifert, who won his rst 16
road games.
Poise comes from condence. Youd be
darn surprised if they didnt have condence,
they work extremely hard, they prepare so
well and thats something that we need to
keep doing, Harbaugh said Monday. The
way we work, the way we prepare is one of
the best things weve got going for us. You
want to see that continue.
Alex Smith was an impressive 20 of 26 for
211 yards and two touchdowns for a 125.6
quarterback rating despite being sacked four
times. He has thrown 185 straight passes
without an interception to break Hall of
Famer Steve Youngs franchise mark of 184.
Smith, the 2005 No. 1 overall draft pick,
tossed only ve interceptions all of last sea-
son. He rallied his team from behind ve
times, including a 36-32 victory against the
favored Saints in the NFC divisional playoffs.
The defense that impressed each week dur-
ing the 2011 resurgence didnt back down
from Rodgers all day, either, capitalizing with
NaVorro Bowmans fourth-quarter intercep-
tion to set up Gores touchdown run.
You turn on the TV or you hear people say,
No, the Packers are going to beat them by
two or three touchdowns and you hear every-
body saying all this and that, linebacker
Patrick Willis said. But we know what we
have and we have complete condence in one
another here across the board offense,
defense and special teams. As long as we have
that and were still together, I think were
capable of doing anything.
And All-Pro kicker David Akers did it yet
again, nailing a 63-yarder for one of his three
eld goals on the day all from at least 40
yards. Akers set the NFL single-season record
for made eld goals with 44 in 2011, his rst
season with San Francisco.

49ERS
SANTA CLARA Jim Harbaugh would
love it if his postgame handshake with Detroit
coach Jim Schwartz last season was ancient
history 11 months later.
If only. Not this week. Not with two unbeat-
en NFC powers set to face off in prime time
Sunday night, when the Lions visit the reign-
ing NFC West champion San Francisco 49ers
at Candlestick Park.
Harbaugh refers to it as a mini controver-
sy and completely irrelevant, eager to keep
the focus on the players for both teams.
Running back Frank Gore insists that every-
body has moved forward, especially after a
30-22 season-opening victory Sunday at
Green Bay.
Our approach with the mini controversies
are really to give them the attention that they
deserve, which isnt much, Harbaugh said
Monday. People who will choose to use that
to promote this game, or any other game, I
think are really missing the point. The game is
just so much bigger. As a rule of thumb, I have
too much respect for the men who play this
game, on both sides, and too much respect for
the game to give it anything (more) than it
deserves.
After a 25-19 comeback win last Oct. 16 at
Ford Field, Harbaugh infuriated Schwartz
with a rm handshake and backslap. The men
had to be separated as they left the eld.
Were past that. Coach isnt worried about
that, Gore said Monday, a day after rushing
for a crucial 23-yard touchdown with 8:41
remaining against the Packers.
As surprising as that moment was,
Harbaughs players got a bit of a thrill seeing
their leader become so charged up after a
monumental win that put them at 5-1 on the
way to a 13-3 record and a run to the NFC
championship game.
Yet there were the constant hassles of hav-
ing to answer questions about the incident
from friends and family everywhere, not to
mention from the media.
Harbaugh didnt even want to address
whether his players were red up from the
handshake. He said afterward he would work
to improve his postgame greetings, though he
also wouldnt elaborate Monday on how thats
going.
To put it next to the game itself is missing
the point in my opinion, Harbaugh said. I
dont really know that I have any more that I
could possibly add to it.
Harbaughs handshake a non-issue
Raiders drop MNF opener
OAKLAND Philip Rivers and the San
Diego Chargers capitalized on their oppo-
nents mistakes instead of making errors of
their own.
Rivers threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to
Malcom Floyd and Nate Kaeding kicked ve
eld goals to spoil Dennis Allens debut as
Oakland coach by beating the Raiders 22-14
on Monday night.
The Raiders were looking to start a new era
on a positive note but were done in by an
offense that couldnt score a touchdown until
the nal minute and three botched punts after
an injury to Pro Bowl long snapper Jon
Condo.
The Chargers did enough to win on a night
they started undrafted rookie Mike Harris at
left tackle and were missing starting running
back Ryan Mathews and receiver Vincent
Brown to injuries.
San Diego protected Harris by throwing
short often with 16 of Rivers 24 completions
going to running backs and tight ends. Rivers
threw for 231 yards, but was sacked just once
and did not turn the ball over after having 20
interceptions a year ago.
Oakland had its own problems with injuries.
The absence of deep-threat receivers Denarius
Moore (hamstring) and Jacoby Ford (left foot)
left Carson Palmer mostly throwing under-
neath to Darren McFadden, who caught a
career-high 13 passes. A head injury to Condo
in the second quarter proved to be even more
signicant when backup long snapper Travis
Goethel had to ll in.
Early in the third quarter, the Raiders lined
up to go for it on fourth-and-2 from the San
Diego 48. But after a penalty for 12 men in the
huddle, Oakland decided to punt. Goethels
snap rolled back to Lechler, who was tackled
for a loss, giving San Diego the ball at the
Raiders 39. That set up a 28-yard eld goal by
Kaeding.
After Oakland was stopped on its next drive,
Lechler set up closer to Goethel, whose snap
made it back in the air. But Dante Rosario
broke through for the first block against
Lechler since 2006 a year before Condo
joined the team. The Chargers once again had
to settle for a short eld goal and led 16-6
heading into the fourth quarter.
Goethel rolled another snap back early in
the fourth quarter, once again giving San
Diego the ball in Oakland territory, setting up
Kaedings career-high tying fth eld goal to
make it 22-6.
Palmer nally got Oakland into the end
zone with 54 seconds left on a 2-yard pass to
rookie Rod Streater and the two connected for
a 2-point conversion to make it 22-14.

ball, there is no such rule in high school. As
a result, San Mateo was agged for having
an ineligible receiver downeld.
Not that the play impacted the game.
Aragon went on to win handily, but for a few
moments, Kaddura got to experience what it
feels like to be a receiver. As the referee
came to the sideline to get in position for the
ensuing kickoff, I told him, Aw, cmon. Let
him have it.

A pair of college seniors of which San
Mateo County fans are familiar are leading a
resurgence for the San Jose State football
program. Defensive end Travis Johnson
(Kings Academy) and running back
DeLeon Elkridge (Serra) had huge games
during the Spartans 45-13 win over U.C.
Davis Saturday, helping even the Spartans
record at 1-1.
Johnson had such a big game Saturday, he
was named the Western Athletic
Conferences Defensive Player of the Week.
He had six tackles including a team-
record four sacks during the win. Johnson
has 23 sacks during his college career, which
is the active leader in the nation.
Eskridge, who was held in check against
Stanford two weeks ago, broke loose for 130
yards and three touchdowns on 16 carries.
Eskridge, who spent his rst three seasons at
University of Minnesota, transferred to San
Jose State last year and sat out, per NCAA
rules. Also seeing some playing time for the
Spartans is former Woodside standout Jason
Simpson, who is now a junior with the
Spartans.
San Jose State coach Mike MacIntyre, in
his third year with the Spartans, has the team
on the upswing this season after slowly
building the program the last two years. Hes
focused on recruiting the top talent in the
Central Coast Section and that talent is start-
ing to pay off. Twenty-nine of the 108 play-
ers (27 percent) listed on the roster are from
schools in the CCS.
The Spartans game against Colorado State
will be broadcast on ESPN 3 at 5 p.m.
Saturday. A win would put San Jose State at
2-1 for the rst time since 2008, when the
Spartans nished 6-6.

The San Francisco 49ers pulled off one of
the biggest upsets on opening weekend of
the NFL season when they went into
Lambeau Field and beat the Green Bay
Packers at home for the rst time in 22 years.
I put upset in quote marks because Im not
that surprised the 49ers won the game. I also
would not have been surprised to see Green
Bay come out on top. Its only an upset in
that many experts had Green Bay winning.
A huge win? For sure. Given the Packers
won the Super Bowl two seasons ago, went
15-1 in the regular season last year and were
one of the experts favorites to represent the
NFC in the Super Bowl this season, the win
cannot be overstated. The offense looked
awesome at times, while the defense picked
up where it left off last season as one of the
best in the game.
However, it is just one game. A lot of fans
are already in a delirium, all but anointing
the 49ers a spot in the Super Bowl. Settle
down. Its only one game, an impressive
game to be sure, but just one game. What
happens if they lose to Detroit this week?
Those same fans crowing about the Super
Bowl will want Harbaugh red and Alex
Smith benched.
It was one game. Much like the players,
fans cant get too high following a win or too
low after a loss. Maintain an even keel and
lets wait until the playoffs before we anoint
anyone anything. I mean, if we based the
Super Bowl off one game, it would be 49ers
and Jets. Did you see how well the Jets
played Sunday? They put up even more
points than the 49ers.
Dont get me wrong. The win makes the
49ers one of the teams to beat in the NFC,
but that also means they will be getting
everyones best shot every week. No more
sneaking up on opponents this year or won-
dering if theyre for real. San Francisco is for
real. Now the 49ers have to go out and
cement its status as one of the best in the
NFL, beginning with the Lions Sunday night.
Gators put a lid on an offense that averaged
nearly 30 points a game last year.
We have a lot of veterans out there on D
from last year picking up where we left off,
Thaure said. And I feel like even though
some of our players on defense arent that big,
everyone is super aggressive to the ball and
the whole defense is just really quick. No mat-
ter who the running back is, or where every-
one plays, everyone ows to the ball pretty
well.
The Gators are in the middle of quite a start.
Theyre the only unbeaten Bay Division team
of the Peninsula Athletic League. And it looks
like theyre only getting better a week
before limiting the Spartans to three points,
they held Branham to six.
You just have to look at it like, we have one
more game left, Thaure said. We play every
game like its the last game. Our defense, we
just need to perform. When we start playing
teams like Terra Nova and Burlingame, that
have really strong offenses, we need to stop
them and keep playing like we can play.
Everyone needs to do their job.
Its great when we go into a game knowing
were the underdog and we come in and hit
them in the mouth the very rst play and
theyre not ready for us. I think we surprise
teams with how tough we are and how strong
we are. It gives us a good opportunity in the
game to take control.

of senior Meghan Ministri. While
she lost her match against
Ridgeview High School, Ministri
battled Amanpreet Sarai to the tune
of 6-7, 3-6 in a grueling 2 1/2 hour
marathon match played in that 100
degree heat. Those nine points were
big considering that Notre Dame
won the round robin portion of the
tournament via tie-breaker 59-49
based on total games won.
She fought for every single
point, Goldsmith said. Whether
we won or lost its really easy in
a second match after you lose a
tough tiebreaker to go away and she
didnt. Thats perseverance right
there.
On top of those four players,
Goldsmith said seniors Rebecca
Boghossian and Paige Kingery
stepped up big for the Lady Tigers.
Along with Ministri, the Lady Tiger
seniors showed incredible leader-
ship.
I was very impressed with all
three of them, Goldsmith said.
They gave their effort. They con-
tinued to motivate. As the matches
were going on, while theyre in their
own match, theyre going lets go
Tigers throughout the court.
Theyre condent. They work hard.
They show up day in and day out.
So I think strong leadership from
those girls in particular really set
the tone for the team. I think at a
certain level when you play tennis,
you might give up on yourself, but I
dont think any of those girls gave
up on the team.
The Lady Tigers werent the only
local team that performed well at
the California Girls Tennis Classic.
Playing in the tournaments top
division, Menlo High School placed
fourth.
According to Menlo head coach
Bill Shine, The singles players for
the Lady Knights were the highlight
of the two-day event. The girls had
an impressive win over the highly
ranked Corona del Mar team 4-3.

Iraqi VP rejects unjust verdict in terror trial
BAGHDAD From self-exile in Turkey, Iraqs fugitive
vice president scoffed Monday at a Baghdad court that sen-
tenced him to the gallows for mastermind-
ing death squads against rivals, describing it
as a puppet of the prime minister and say-
ing he will not return to appeal the verdict.
The conviction of Tariq al-Hashemi, one
of the nations highest-ranking Sunni of-
cials, rids Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-
Maliki of a top political foe while threaten-
ing to deepen the rift between Iraqs main
Muslim sects as the nation struggles to
achieve stability nine months after U.S.
troops withdrew.
Hours after the verdict was announced on Sunday, insurgents
launched erce bombings against mostly Shiite neighborhoods
in the capital, killing 92 and wounding more than 360 in one of
Iraqs deadliest days this year. In a statement posted on a mili-
tant website Monday, Iraqs wing of al-Qaida claimed respon-
sibility for the countrywide attacks and promised black days
ahead. Later in the day, a car bomb exploded outside a restau-
rant in southwest Baghdad, killing eight people and wounding
32, security and health ofcials said.
Appearing alternately affable and deant at a packed press
conference in Turkeys capital, al-Hashemi maintained his
innocence after being found guilty of organizing the murders of
a lawyer and a Shiite security ofcer.
The verdict is unjust, politicized, illegitimate and I will not
recognize it. It means nothing to me, al-Hashemi, who took
ofce in 2006, told reporters in Ankara. But I put it as a medal
of honor on my chest because it was al-Maliki, not anyone
else, behind it. For me, this proof that Im innocent.
Syrian defector says opposition can win
BEIRUT Syrias most prominent defector said in an inter-
view that aired Monday that he opposes any foreign military
intervention in the countrys civil war and that he is condent
the opposition can topple President Bashar Assads regime.
But Manaf Tlass, a Syrian general who was the rst member
of Assads inner circle to join the opposition, said the rebels
need weapons.
The Syrian people must not be robbed of their victory, they
must be given support, aid, arms, Tlass said in a recorded
interview that aired Monday on French television station BFM.
He called on outside powers to give the opposition all the
aid and support needed to topple Assad.
Foreign military intervention, however, could not provide a
solution to the conict, he said. The uprising against Assads
regime began in March 2011 with mostly peaceful protests
against the family dynasty that has ruled Syria for four decades.
But the battle has transformed into a civil war, and activists
estimate that at least 23,000 people have been killed.
Tlass defection in July was hailed as a resounding triumph
by many Syrian opposition activists. But many in the opposi-
tion are deeply suspicious of Tlass, saying he is just trying to
vault to power.

District, said the countrys education
system has been bogged down in an
engine of bureaucracy and needs to turn
to an engine of innovation.
We need to make education relevant
in the 21st century, Kanter said.
The Makerspace pilot program gives
students access to tools, materials and
expertise for developing creative proj-
ects that offer hands-on learning and
real-world science, technology, engi-
neering and mathematics applications.
Menlo School in Atherton is the only
San Mateo County school participating
in the pilot program.
One day, Kanter said, all public
schools should have access to the same
tools.
It is about learning through doing,
said Ron Galatolo, chancellor of the San
Mateo County Community College
District. Community colleges, he said,
have a mission to boost career and tech-
nical training.
Yesterdays event is part of the U.S.
Department of Educations third annual
back-to-school bus tour.
With funding from the Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency, the
Mentor Makerspace program promotes
the collaborative practices of making in
high schools and introduces students to
tools for advanced manufacturing.
The programs developers are
OReilly Medias Make division, which
produces Make Magazine and Maker
Faire, and Otherlab, a developer of hard-
ware and software design tools.
On hand at yesterdays event were
several science vendors and school
teachers who showed their innovative
teaching tools and projects completed by
students.
Lenore Edman, co-founder of Evil
Mad Science in Sunnyvale, showed
some of the gadgets she sells so students
can learn programming and how to make
video games.
We teach programming with real-
world objects, said Edman, who brings
her gadgets to local schools for work-
shops.
The Nueva School in Hillsborough
teaches hands-on science for kinder-
gartners up to high school students.
Kim Saxe is the innovation lab
director at Nueva and brought some
of her student-made projects to yes-
terdays event at CSM.
The earlier children are exposed to the
sciences, the better, Saxe said.
Young people can grasp the concepts,
too, she said.
Some of the projects included solar-
powered houses and mechanical toys
designed and built by Nueva students.
The Mentor Makerspace program has
a goal of introducing low-cost maker-
spaces into 1,000 high schools over the
next three years.
It will provide information and train-
ing for teachers along with software
design tools and hardware for use in a
school environment.
The rst round of 10 pilot schools are
located in Northern California. The pro-
gram aims to encourage and support the
development of projects by students who
integrate new technologies and express
their own creativity. The projects can be
shared online and will be exhibited at the
annual Maker Faire, which occurs every
spring in San Mateo at the Event Center.
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne
Duncan and his senior leaders are criss-
crossing the country from Sept. 12-21,
leading a series of events as part of the

CHICAGO Acupuncture gets a thumbs-
up for helping relieve pain from chronic
headaches, backaches and arthritis in a review
of more than two dozen studies the latest
analysis of an often-studied therapy that has as
many fans as critics.
Some believe its only powers are a psycho-
logical, placebo effect. But some doctors
believe even if thats the explanation for
acupunctures effectiveness, theres no reason
not to offer it if it makes people feel better.
The new analysis examined 29 studies involv-
ing almost 18,000 adults. The researchers con-
cluded that the needle remedy worked better
than usual pain treatment and slightly better
than fake acupuncture. That kind of analysis is
not the strongest type of research, but the
authors took extra steps including examining
raw data from the original studies.
The results provide the most robust evi-
dence to date that acupuncture is a reasonable
referral option, wrote the authors, who
include researchers with Memorial Sloan-
Kettering Cancer Center in New York and sev-
eral universities in England and Germany.
Their study isnt proof, but it adds to evi-
dence that acupuncture may benet a range of
conditions.
The new analysis was published online
Monday in Archives of Internal Medicine. The
federal governments National Center for
Complementary and Alternative Medicine
paid for most of the study, along with a small
grant from the Samueli Institute, a nonprot
group that supports research on alternative
healing.
Acupunctures use has become more main-
stream. The military has used it to help treat
pain from war wounds, and California recent-
ly passed legislation that would include
acupuncture among treatments recommended
for coverage under provisions of the nations
new health care law. That law requires insur-
ance plans to cover certain categories of bene-
ts starting in 2014. Deciding specics is
being left up to the states.
Some private insurance plans already cover
acupuncture; Medicare does not.
In traditional Chinese medicine, acupunc-
ture involves inserting long, very thin needles
just beneath the skins surface at specic
points on the body to control pain or stress.
Several weekly sessions are usually involved,
typically costing about $60 to $100 per ses-
sion. Fake acupuncture studied in research
sometimes also uses needles, but on different
areas of the body.
Study: Placebo or not, acupuncture helps with pain

BOSTON Scientists are grow-
ing ears, bone and skin in the lab,
and doctors are planning more face
transplants and other extreme plas-
tic surgeries. Around the country,
the most advanced medical tools
that exist are now being deployed to
help Americas newest veterans and
wounded troops.
In Los Angeles, surgeons used
part of Michael Mills forehead to
rebuild his nose after a bomb disg-
ured him in Iraq.
In Pittsburgh, doctors used an
experimental therapy from pig tis-
sue to help regrow part of a thigh
muscle that Ron Strang lost in a
blast in Afghanistan.
In Boston, scientists are mak-
ing plans for the first implants of
lab-grown ears for wounded
troops after successful experi-
ments in sheep and rats.
In San Antonio and other cities,
doctors are testing sprayed-on skin
cells and lab-made sheets of skin to
heal burns and other wounds. The
ingenuity is impressive: One prod-
uct was developed from foreskin
left over from circumcisions.
Much of this comes from taxpay-
er-funded research. Four years ago,
the federal government created
AFIRM, the Armed Forces Institute
of Regenerative Medicine, a net-
work of top hospitals and universi-
ties, and gave $300 million in grants
to spur new treatments using cell
science and advanced plastic sur-
gery.
The whole idea is to bring all
these researchers together to devel-
op these great technologies that
were in early science to eventually
be ready for the troops, said
AFIRMs recently retired director,
Terry Irgens.
Now those who served are com-
ing home, and projects that once
had been languishing in labs are
making strides and starting to move
into clinics.
Strang is among those beneting.
The 28-year-old Marine sergeant
from Pittsburgh lost half of a thigh
muscle to shrapnel, leaving too little
to stabilize his gait. My knee
would buckle and Id fall over, he
said.
Now, after an experimental treat-
ment at the University of Pittsburgh
Medical Center, Im able to run a
little bit and play a light football
game with friends, he said. Its
been a huge improvement.
Its one example of the new
medicine in the works for troops.
The Associated Press conducted
more than a dozen interviews and
reviewed the latest medical research
to measure the progress and extent
of novel treatments under way for
wounded warriors. The results point
to some surprising feats of surgery
and bioengineering.
Growing new ears
Up to a thousand troops might
need an ear, and prosthetics are not
a great solution. A rod or other fas-
tener is required to attach them to
the head. They dont look or feel
natural and they wear out every cou-
ple of years. A matching ear grown
from a patients own cells would be
a huge improvement.
People have been working on
this for 20 years but havent been
able to overcome obstacles to mak-
ing it practical, said Cathryn
Sundback, director of the tissue
engineering lab at Massachusetts
General Hospital.
Her lab thinks its found the solu-
tion. Using a computer model of a
patients remaining ear, scientists
craft a titanium framework covered
in collagen, the stuff that gives skin
elasticity and strength.
They take a snip of cartilage from
inside the nose or between the ribs
and seed the scaffold with these
cells. This is incubated for about
two weeks in a lab dish to grow
more cartilage. When its ready to
implant, a skin graft is taken from
the patient to cover the cartilage and
the ear is stitched into place.
Scientists in her lab have main-
tained lab-grown sheep ears on
those animals for 20 weeks, proving
it can be done successfully and last
long-term. They also have grown
anatomically correct human ears
from cells. These have been
implanted on the backs of lab rats to
keep them nourished and allow fur-
ther research. But that wouldnt
happen with ears destined for
Surprising methods heal wounded troops

Scientists arent sure what biological mech-
anism could explain how acupuncture might
relieve pain, but the authors of the new study
say the results suggest theres more involved
than just a placebo effect.
Acupuncture skeptic Dr. Stephen Barrett
said the study results are dubious. The retired
psychiatrist runs Quackwatch, a Web site on
medical scams, and says studies of acupunc-
ture often involve strict research conditions
that dont mirror how the procedure is used in
the real world.
The new analysis combined results from
studies of patients with common types of
chronic pain recurring headaches, arthritis
or back, neck and shoulder. The studies had
randomly assigned patients to acupuncture
and either fake acupuncture or standard pain
treatment including medication or physical
therapy.
The authors explained their statistical nd-
ings by using a pain scale of 0 to 100: The
patients average baseline pain measured 60; it
dropped to 30 on average in those who got
acupuncture, 35 in those who got fake
acupuncture, and 43 in the usual treatment
group.
While the difference in results for real ver-
sus fake acupuncture was small, it suggests
acupuncture could have more than a psycho-
logical effect, said lead author Andrew
Vickers, a cancer researcher at Memorial
Sloan-Kettering. The center offers acupunc-
ture and other alternative therapies for cancer
patients with hard-to-treat pain.
The analysis was more rigorous than most
research based on pooling previous studies
results, because the authors obtained original
data from each study.
STUDY
patients they would just be grown in a lab
dish until theyre ready to implant.
Weve solved all the technical problems,
Sundback said, and now they are ready to seek
approval from the Food and Drug
Administration to implant these into patients
probably in about a year. Its amazing how
much progress weve made with the AFIRM
funding.
Bioengineering muscles, bone and skin
A soldier lucky enough to keep his arms and
legs after a bomb blast still might lose so much
of a key muscle, like biceps or quadriceps, that
the limb cant be used properly. In some cases,
the patient has lost so much muscle that theres
nothing left for the surgeon to sew together,
said Dr. Stephen Badylak, a regenerative medi-
cine specialist at the University of Pittsburgh.
He is testing implants of extracellular
matrix connective tissue that holds cells
together to boost muscle mass. The matrix is
thought to release chemical signals that promote
regrowth of healthy tissue instead of scar tissue.
It changes the body from thinking, I need to
respond to injured tissue, to I need to rebuild
this tissue, Badylak said.
The material is supplied by a private compa-
ny ACell Inc. of Columbia, Md. and
comes from pigs. The immune system tolerates
it because it doesnt contain cells. It comes in
multi-layered sheets like slightly stiff gauze
and can be cut or molded to t the needed
shape.
Strang, who lost half of a thigh muscle, is
among the ve patients treated so far in an 80-
patient study. Doctors wait at least six months
after an injury to make sure all natural healing
has occurred, and put patients through intensive
physical therapy before implanting the matrix.

NEW YORK Sheila Birnbaum
is known in legal circles across New
York as the queen of torts for her
prowess in sorting out complicated
cases. But she may be up against her
most daunting task to date.
Since Attorney General Eric
Holder appointed her special master
of a Sept. 11 victims compensation
fund in May 2011, Birnbaum has
been responsible for evenhandedly
distributing $2.7 billion to ground
zero responders and others who
became ill after being exposed to dust
and ash from the smoldering ruins of
the World Trade Center.
The problem is, she doesnt quite
know how many people will be eligi-
ble for compensation.
We havent yet received the ava-
lanche of claims that might have been
expected, she said, noting that only
about 300 people have led eligibili-
ty forms so far. The fund will ulti-
mately receive thousands of applica-
tions, she predicts.
Nearly two years after President
Barack Obama signed the James
Zadroga 9/11 Health and
Compensation Act into law, about
40,000 responders and survivors
receive monitoring and 20,000 get
treatment for illnesses as part of the
World Trade Center Health Program
one of the laws two components.
But the other, Birnbaums fund com-
pensating the same kind of people for
economic losses, hasnt been as
quick to get off the ground.
Its not a matter of bureaucratic
foot-dragging, but rather an illustra-
tion of the complexities of key legis-
lation born of the attacks that took
place 11 years ago next week.
This is a lot more complicated
than meets the eye, said Birnbaum,
an attorney.
With time still left to submit
claims, some people are holding out
in the event that they become sick in
the near future. Others are waiting
until the National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health of-
cially adds 14 broad categories of
cancer to the list of conditions cov-
ered by the fund.
The national institutes director, Dr.
John Howard, said in June that it
planned to expand coverage to
include scores of cancer types. An
institute spokeswoman would not
give a specic date for the announce-
ment, although Birnbaum said she
anticipates it this month.
Recently diagnosed with leukemia
and lymphoma, 55-year-old Brian
Casse hopes he can secure money
from the fund to support his wife and
children in case he takes a turn for the
worst. Casse, a retired reghter who
helped clear away the mountain of
rubble at ground zero, believes
theres little doubt his work at the site
is responsible for his illness.
Youve got people in this city who
went down there and did what we had
to do. And a lot of us got sick because
of it, Casse said. To make us now
ght for this money, its not right. In
the grand scheme of things, this
moneys a drop in the bucket.
Initially, the Zadroga Act named
for police Detective James Zadroga,
who died at age 34 after working at
ground zero included only a short
list of illnesses that qualied for com-
pensation. Cancer was excluded
because of a lack of scientic evi-
dence linking any form of the disease
to conditions in the debris pile.
To me, its common sense. If you
breathe in toxic fumes, youre going
to get cancer, said U.S. Rep. Carolyn
Maloney, a Manhattan Democrat
who helped author the bill.
But even Maloney conceded that it
is difcult to nd hard data proving
the connection between cancer and
the dust at ground zero. Thats why in
crafting the Zadroga Act, lawmakers
were careful to include mechanisms
that would allow for illnesses to be
added based on new scientic
research.
An inclusion of cancer on the list
will likely encourage more people to
le claims. Applicants will have to
provide evidence of their diagnosis
and time spent at ground zero, though
they do not need to enroll in the
health program to receive compensa-
tion.
Tough task for those compensating ill 9/11 workers
NEW YORK The federal gov-
ernment has added about 50 types
of cancer to the list of Sept. 11
World Trade Center-related illness-
es that will be covered by a pro-
gram to pay for health coverage.
The National Institute for
Occupational Safety announced the
change Monday, the eve of the 11th
anniversary of the terrorist attacks.
The publication of this final
rule marks an important step in
the effort to provide needed treat-
ment and care to 9/11 responders
and survivors through the WTC
Health Program, NIOSH director
Dr. John Howard said in a state-
ment.
The institute said last June that it
favored expanding the existing
$4.3 billion Sept. 11 health pro-
gram to include people with 50
types of cancer. That move fol-
lowed years of lobbying by con-
struction workers, firefighters,
police ofcers, ofce cleaners and
others who fell ill in the decade
after the terror attack, which
destroyed the 110-story twin tow-
ers, spewing toxic dust.
NIOSH acted after an advisory
committee made up of doctors,
union officials and community
advocates recommended that can-
cer be added. Previously, the aid
effort had covered only people with
mostly less-serious ailments,
including asthma, acid reux dis-
ease and chronic sinus irritation.
While stories about rst respon-
ders struck by cancer are common,
there is still little scientic evi-
dence of elevated cancer rates con-
nected to World Trade Center dust
or other toxins at the ground zero
recovery site in lower Manhattan.
Scientists say there is little research
to prove that exposure to the toxic
dust plume caused even one kind of
cancer.
Questions about whether the dust
truly caused cancer were a reason
Congress did not include it in the
initial list of covered illnesses.
But some occupational health
experts expressed concern about
the presence of carcinogens in the
ash and soot, and the advisory
panel said it believed there were
enough toxins present that it was
plausible that some people with
heavy exposures might get cancer.
Elected officials praised
Mondays decision.
We have urged from the very
beginning that the decision whether
or not to include cancer be based
on science; Dr. Howards decision,
made after thorough consideration
of the latest available research and
data, will continue to ensure that
those who have become ill due to
the heinous attacks on 9/11 get the
medical care they need and
deserve, Mayor Michael
Bloomberg said.
New Yorks two U.S. senators,
Democrats Charles Schumer and
Kirsten Gillibrand, said in a state-
ment: Todays announcement is a
huge step forward that will provide
justice and support to so many who
are now suffering from cancer and
other illnesses.
There had been some concern
that adding cancer to the list of
covered conditions could strain the
programs resources. Congress
capped funding for the program at
$1.55 billion for treatment and
$2.78 billion for compensation
payments, and adding cancer to the
eligible diseases will not increase
the funding.

NEW YORK The Sept. 11
anniversary ceremony at ground zero
has been stripped of politicians this
year. But can it ever be stripped of
politics?
For the rst time, elected ofcials
wont speak Tuesday at an occasion
that has allowed them a solemn turn
in the spotlight. The change was
made in the name of sidelining poli-
tics, but some have rapped it as a
political move in itself.
Its a sign of the entrenched sensi-
tivity of the politics of Sept. 11, even
after a decade of commemorating the
attacks that killed nearly 3,000 peo-
ple at the World Trade Center, the
Pentagon and a Pennsylvania eld.
From the rst anniversary in 2002,
the date has been limned with ques-
tions about how or even whether
to try to separate the Sept. 11 that
is about personal loss from the 9/11
that reverberates through public life.
The answers are complicated for
Debra Burlingame, whose brother
Charles was the pilot of the hijacked
plane that crashed into the
Pentagon. She feels politicians
involvement can lend gravity to the
remembrances, but she empathizes
with the reasons for silencing
ofceholders at the New York cere-
mony this year.
It is the one day, out of 365 days
a year, where, when we invoke the
term 9/11, we mean the people who
died and the events that happened,
rather than the political and cultural
layers the phrase has accumulated,
said Burlingame, whos on the board
of the organization that announced
the change in plans this year.
So I think the idea that its even
controversial that politicians would-
nt be speaking is really rather
remarkable.
Remarkable, perhaps, but a
glimpse through the political prism
that splits so much surrounding Sept.
11 into different lights.
Ofceholders from the mayor to
presidents have been heard at the
New York ceremony, reading texts
ranging from parts of the Declaration
of Independence and the Gettysburg
Address to poems by John Donne
and Langston Hughes.
But in July, the National Sept. 11
Memorial and Museum led by
Mayor Michael Bloomberg as its
board chairman announced that
this years version would include
only relatives reading victims
names.
Can there be a politics-free Sept.11?

says the Flight 93 National
Memorial in western Pennsylvania
is the final resting place of
American patriots.
Panetta visited the memorial
Monday for the rst time, paying his
respects to the 40 passengers and
crew members who died during the
terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
He walked down to the wooded
area where the plane crashed and
met with relatives of people who
were on the plane.
United Flight 93 was traveling
from Newark, N.J., to San Francisco
when it was hijacked by four terror-
ists. The 9/11 Commission said the
terrorists likely wanted to crash the
plane into the White House or the
U.S. Capitol, but the jet went down
in a eld near Shanksville, Pa., after
passengers fought back.

U.S.Defense Secretary Leon Panetta
speaks in Shanksville, Penn.
It is the one day,out of 365 days a year,where,when we invoke
the term 9/11, we mean the people who died and the events
that happened. ... So I think the idea that its even controversial
that politicians wouldnt be speaking is really rather remarkable.

Shores Elementary and Sequoia Union
High school districts.
Feierbach calls the proposed $250,000
annual payment to the city by CSUS
meaningless because of the loss of
income to local schools and other tax
districts.
The school has also misled the public
in its mailers, she said.
How can we trust them? she said.
Vice Mayor Christine Wozniak said
the mailers, or iers, that CSUS has sent
out has given the public a false impres-
sion that the council has already
approved the project.
This is not the case. We discuss this
project for the rst time as a council
tomorrow night, Wozniak wrote the
Daily Journal in an email. They got this
erroneous impression in some cases
from the fliers that CSUS sent to
Belmont residents. Fliers that told them
to contact the city if they were in favor
of the project. In response, Ive had a
ood of emails and phone calls from res-
idents, many urging me to say to no to
CSUS.
But Councilman Warren Lieberman is
not ready to vote down the proposal just
yet.
The proposal the Planning
Commission heard is not the same the
council will hear tonight, he said.
This is a better nancial deal for the
city but is it enough? I havent made a
decision yet, he told the Daily Journal
yesterday.
Trafc in the area is Liebermans top
concern.
Trafc on Ralston is a nightmare and
a lot of it is related to Ralston Middle
and Fox Elementary schools, said
Lieberman, who has some ideas of his
own on how to solve trafc conditions in
the area. He plans to discuss them
tonight.
Trafc, too, concerns Feierbach but
she does not think CSUS can solve the
problem.
We need to keep it an ofce park. A
private school is an incompatible use,
she told the Daily Journal.
In an email sent to Belmont residents,
Feierbach wrote that the project would
have negative impacts on Waterdog
Lake; that the school would not enroll
enough Belmont students; that changing
zoning would discourage new business
from coming to the city; and that trafc
would increase to unacceptable levels.
CSUS sent out its own letter to
Belmont residents addressing
Feierbachs claims.
The private school rst came to the
city with an early plan to relocate to
Belmont in April 2011.
It has been a long time since that rst
meeting, Councilman David Braunstein
said. The amount of public response on
the matter has been wonderful, he
said.
Weve heard a lot from the residents
of Belmont, he said. Hopefully, the
council will listen to Crystal Springs and
residents and make an informed deci-
sion, Braunstein said. The proposal has
been modied substantially since it rst
came to the Planning Commission, he
said.
School ofcials said the City Council
offered early support for the plan then.
As part of the schools strategic plan,
in the works for years, it looked at 20
different properties for possible expan-
sion before deciding on the Davis Drive
property.
The school also boosted its nancial
offer to the city after listening to the
Planning Commission, Trustee Jill
Grossman told the Daily Journal yester-
day.
We were encouraged by the councils
positive response initially and we are
hopeful and optimistic it will see we will
be a good community supporter and
good neighbor, Grossman said. We
believe this project is mutually bene-
cial for both the city and the school.
Crystal Springs Uplands is a private
school which currently has a 10-acre
suburban campus in Hillsborough serv-
ing 350 students in sixth through 12th
grades. The school is hoping to expand
by opening a middle school serving up
to 240 students in sixth through eighth
grades on Davis Drive.
Currently, about 83,000 square feet of
commercial/ofce and warehouse build-
ings and 165 parking spots are situated
at 6-8 and 10 Davis Drive that has stood
vacant for years. CSUS wants to demol-
ish the current buildings and construct a
52,000-square-foot middle school with a
60-space parking lot, gymnasium/the-
ater/multi-purpose room and an all-
weather synthetic turf playing eld.
The buildings current ownership has
said it has had little luck attracting com-
mercial tenants to the complex and start-
ed negotiating with the private school
last year to purchase the land. The sale
has yet to be nalized, however.
Since tonights meeting includes a
public hearing, it could last for several
hours to let residents speak on the issue.
The Belmont City Council meets 7:30
p.m., tonight, City Hall, 1 Twin Pines
Lane, Belmont.
(650) 344-5200 ext. 106.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said,
todays agreement puts in place a crit-
ical and long overdue safeguard to
finally protect toll payers and taxpay-
ers from bearing further costs, and, at
the same time, put the project on a
path for completion.
Bloomberg said the agreement
ensures that it will be restarted very
soon and will not stop until the muse-
um is completed.
The museum is important to the
families of those who died on 9/11
theyve contributed photos and memo-
ries of their lost loved ones, who
deserve a thoughtful tribute, he said.
Earlier Monday, before the agree-
ment was announced, Bloomberg was
asked if the museum could be finished
by 2013 if construction started soon.
We have to do it safely, and we
want to do it with the quality of work
that will stand up to time, he said.
Whether its doable by then, I dont
know. ... To me, the date is nowhere
near as important as the other two
things. Third I would say youve got to
do it within budget. You know, you can
work 24 hours a day, with enormous
overtime in this day and age, there
isnt the money for that. The date will
be great whenever we get it. And
nobodys going to remember whether
it was one months or three months
later.
The memorandum of understanding
announced Monday addresses issues
including coordination of the site and
general financial terms but doesnt go
into detail on specific levels of financ-
ing. The agreement outlines that the
memorial will have six months oper-
ating expenses on hand as net working
capital and that it will give the Port
Authority a security deposit equal to
six months utility expenses, but it
doesnt say what those figures are.
It remains unclear how the founda-
tion will cover the costs of running the
museum, once it does open, although
the agreement calls for the memorial
and the Port Authority to work togeth-
er to try for federal funding.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said
in a statement he was gratified to be a
part of a unified commitment and
agreement with Governor Cuomo and
Mayor Bloomberg to immediately
resume around the clock construction
at the 9/11 Museum.
The underground museum is to
house such artifacts as the staircase
workers used to escape the attacks.
Visitors also will be able to see por-
traits of the nearly 3,000 victims and
hear oral histories of Sept. 11.
The memorial includes a plaza,
where waterfalls fill the fallen towers
footprints. Almost 4.5 million people
have visited it since it opened last
September.
MUSEUM
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2012
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Do not allow your friends
to convince you to do something that you really cant
afford. If you havent got the funds, be smart and
bow out.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you fnd yourself vacil-
lating over some critical decisions, know that hesita-
tion will only breed complications. Instead, trust your
judgment and take bold action.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Usually you weigh both
sides of an issue, resulting in a balanced judgment.
Today, however, your thinking might be more self-
defeating than farseeing.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Guard against
inclinations to believe in everybody and to put
your trust in those who cannot measure up to your
expectations. If you fail to do so, disappointment is
very likely.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If you dont have
an equal say, you might end up in a situation that is
something like a partnership, but not quite. Be very
careful.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If you cannot arouse
enough enthusiasm to handle a tough assignment,
youd be better off temporarily postponing it until you
can muster up enough eagerness to do so.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Dont get too deeply
involved in a risky endeavor because in all likelihood
Lady Luck will be taking a day off. Without her as-
sistance, you arent apt to swing it alone.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Should an old, unre-
solved family issue surface in front of others, do your
best to quell it immediately, before it can make the
entire clan look self-serving and nasty.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If someone comes up
with a better way of doing something, dont be so
quick to reject it. If you let your ego take command,
youll never improve.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Something signifcant
can be learned about budgeting if you take some
time to examine your fnancial situation realistically.
Dont just bewail your managerial failings -- correct
them.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Allowing dictatorial
inclinations to dominate your thinking could cause
you to assert your will on those over whom you have
no authority, making you look like a bully. Dont let
this happen.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Dont put any limitations on
your imagination, nor allow others to do so for you.
Be very sure that the thoughts that guide your think-
ing and actions are focused on the positive.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
WALTER LEE BARCELLOS
Case Number 122597
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: WALTER LEE BARCEL-
LOS. A Petition for Probate has been
filed by GEORGE CHARLES ROSAS in
the Superior Court of California, County
of San Mateo. The Petition for Probate
requests that GEORGE CHARLES RO-
SAS be appointed as personal represen-
tative to administer the estate of the de-
cedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: October 15, 2012 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, 1st Floor, Redwood City,
CA 94063. If you object to the granting
of the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

221800, in Book , Page , of Official Re-
cords in the office of the County Record-
er of San Mateo County, State of Califor-
nia, will sell on 09/25/2012 at 12:30PM,
At the Marshall Street entrance to the
Hall of Justice, 400 County Center, Red-
wood City, San Mateo County, CA at
public auction, to the highest bidder for
cash or check as de-scribed below, pay-
able in full at time of sale, all right, title,
and interest conveyed to and now held
by it under said Deed of Trust, in the
property situated in said County and
State and as more fully described in the
above referenced Deed of Trust. The

nation, if any, of the real property descri-
bed above is purported to be: 1303

herein. The total amount of the unpaid
balance with interest thereon of the obli-
gation secured by the property to be sold
plus reasonable estimated costs, ex-
penses and advances at the time of the
initial publication of the Notice of Sale is
$629,915.38. It is possible that at the
time of sale the opening bid may be less
than the total indebtedness due. In addi-
tion to cash, the Trustee will accept
cashier's checks drawn on a state or na-
tional bank, a check drawn by a state or
federal credit union, or a check drawn by
a state or federal savings and loan asso-

under, with interest as provided, and the
unpaid principal of the Note secured by
said Deed of Trust with interest thereon
as provided in said Note, plus fees,
charges and expenses of the Trustee
and of the trusts created by said Deed of
Trust. If required by the provisions of
section 2923.5 of the California Civil
Code, the declaration from the mortga-
gee, beneficiary or authorized agent is
attached to the Notice of Trustee's Sale
duly recorded with the appropriate Coun-
ty Recorder's Office. NOTICE TO PO-
TENTIAL BIDDERS If you are consider-
ing bidding on this property lien, you
should understand that there are risks in-
volved in bidding at a trustee auction.
You will be bidding on a lien, not on a
property itself. Placing the highest bid at
a trustee auction does not automatically
entitle you to free and clear ownership of
the property. You should also be aware
that the lien being auctioned off may be a
junior lien. If you are the highest bidder
at the auction, you are or may be respon-
sible for paying off all liens senior to the
lien being auctioned off, before you can
receive clear title to the property. You
are encouraged to investigate the exis-
tence, priority, and size of outstanding
liens that may exist on this property by
contacting the county recorder's office or
a title insurance company, either of
which may charge you a fee for this infor-
mation. If you consult either of these re-
sources, you should be aware that the
lender may hold more than one mort-
gage or deed of trust on the property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER The
sale date shown on this notice of sale
may be postponed one or more times by
the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a
court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the
California Civil Code. The law requires
that information about trustee sale post-
ponements be made available to you and
to the public, as a courtesy to those not
present at the sale. If you wish to learn
whether your sale date has been post-
poned, and, if applica-ble, the resched-
uled time and date for the sale of this
property, you may call 1-800-281-8219
or visit this Internet Web site www.recon-
trustco.com, using the file number as-
signed to this case 12-0022638. Infor-
mation about postponements that are
very short in duration or that occur close
in time to the scheduled sale may not im-
mediately be reflected in the telephone
information or on the Internet Web site.
The best way to verify postponement in-
formation is to attend the scheduled sale.

WORLD 31
By Ahmed Al-Haj
and Lolita C. Baldor
SANAA, Yemen An airstrike
killed al-Qaidas No. 2 leader in
Yemen along with six others travel-
ing with him in one car on Monday,
U.S. and Yemeni ofcials said, a
major breakthrough for U.S.-backed
efforts to cripple the group in the
impoverished Arab nation.
Saeed al-Shihri, a Saudi national
who fought in Afghanistan and
spent six years in the U.S. military
prison at Guantanamo Bay, was
killed by a missile after leaving a
house in the southern province of
Hadramawt, according to Yemeni
military ofcials. They said the mis-
sile was believed to have been red
by a U.S.-operated, unmanned
drone aircraft.
Two senior U.S. ofcials con-
rmed al-Shihris death but could
not conrm any U.S. involvement in
the airstrike. The U.S. doesnt usu-
ally comment on such attacks
although it has used drones in the
past to go after al-Qaida members in
Yemen, which is considered a cru-
cial battleground with the terror net-
work.
Yemeni military ofcials said that
a local forensics team had identied
al-Shihris body with the help of
U.S. forensics experts on the
ground. The U.S. and Yemeni mili-
tary ofcials spoke on condition of
anonymity because they werent
authorized to release the informa-
tion to the media.
Late Monday, after speculation
surfaced that the attack was carried
by a U.S. drone, Yemens Defense
Ministry issued a statement saying
al-Shihri and six companions were
killed during an operation by
Yemeni armed forces in Wadi
Hadramawt, but it did not elaborate
on how they were killed.
Yemeni military officials said
they had believed the United States
was behind the operation because
their own army does not the capaci-
ty to carry out precise aerial attacks
and because Yemeni intelligence
gathering capabilities on al-Shihris
movements were limited.
A brief Defense Ministry state-
ment sent to Yemeni reporters on
their mobile phones earlier in the
day only said that an attack had tar-
geted the militants. It did not speci-
fy who carried out the attack or
when it took place.
Al-Shihris death is a major blow
to al-Qaidas Yemen branch, which
is seen as the worlds most active,
planning and carrying out attacks
against targets on and outside U.S.
territory. The nation sits on the
southern tip of the Arabian
Peninsula and is on the doorstep of
Saudi Arabia and fellow oil-produc-
ing nations of the Gulf and lies on
strategic sea routes leading to the
Suez Canal.
