THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama told the nation from the White
House on Wednesday night that diplo-
macy suddenly holds the potential to
remove the threat of chemical
weapons in Syria without use of
force, but he declared the U.S. military
will be ready to respond against
President Bashar Assad if other meas-
ures fail.
For now, Obama said he had asked
congr es s i onal
leaders to post-
pone a vote on
legislation he
has been seek-
ing to authorize
the use of mili-
tary force
against Syria.
In a 16-minute
speech, the pres-
ident repeatedly
offered reassurances that even the fail-
ure of diplomacy in promised talks
at the United Nations or elsewhere
would not plunge America into another
war.
I will not put American boots on
the ground in Syria, he promised. I
will not pursue an open-ended action
like Iraq or Afghanistan. I will not pur-
sue a prolonged air campaign like
Libya or Kosovo.
This would be a targeted strike to
achieve a clear objective: deterring the
use of chemical weapons and degrading
Assads capabilities, he said.

County OKs
$14M update
to HR system
Equal benefits waiver
frustrate supervisors
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
County supervisors agreed to spend
nearly $14 million to upgrade its anti-
quated human resources system but not
before a contract caveat sparing provider
Workday from offering its employees
equal benefits to same-sex spouses
sparked questions of how to impose local
values in an international arena.
Board President Don Horsley said he could not back that
caveat which nearly led the supervisors to postpone a deci-
sion on the new HR/payroll system until they could get
more clarication or craft a workaround.

America faced its worst day of terror-
ism. Nearly 3,000 people were killed
as 19 al-Qaida members hijacked four
passenger jetliners. Two planes
smashed into New Yorks World Trade
Center, causing the twin towers to
fall; one plowed into the Pentagon;
and the fourth was crashed into a eld
in western Pennsylvania.

A lawsuit has been led in San Mateo
County Superior Court challenging the ade-
quacy of an environmental impact report for a
Highway 1 widening project planned for
Pacica.
Pacicans for a Scenic Coast led the com-
plaint Friday and contend the project is out of
scale with Pacicas scenic nature and that
the EIR contains contradictory information
on impacts to threatened species or any other
adverse impacts of the project.
We would like to have more details to
know if its a project we like or not, group
spokeswoman Cynthia Kaufman told the
Daily Journal Tuesday.
The plan is to widen Highway 1 between
2,300 feet north of Reina Del Mar Avenue to
approximately 1,500 feet south of Fassler
Avenue, a stretch of about 1.3 miles, accord-
ing to Caltrans.
The project proposes to widen Highway 1
from four lanes to six lanes to have three
through-lanes in each travel direction,
according to Caltrans.
The highway gets heavy trafc during the
morning and afternoon commute.
The EIR was approved last month and the
cost of the project is expected to be about $52
million.
Kaufmans group is concerned that the EIR
does not give enough detail on how wide the
road will ultimately be or how big the sound-
walls will be and how pedestrians and bicy-
clists will be impacted by the project.
There are other ways to deal with trafc
other than widening, Kaufman said.
The California Environmental Quality Act
requires that the EIR includes an accurate
project description.
Pacicans for a Scenic Coast led the com-
plaint against Caltrans under CEQA.
At minimum it must include a detailed map
with the precise location and boundaries of
the proposed project. Instead the EIR vaguely
described the project as widening primarily
on the west side of the roadway varying
somewhere from 20 feet to 50 feet wide and
referencing pictures which are purely concep-
tual and not to be used as ofcial record. In
conjunction, the width of the highway at the
pedestrian and bicyclist crossing points was
not adequately described, the group wrote in
a statement. The lack of details in the EIR, the
group contends, prevents an adequate analy-
sis of the projects impacts.
The EIR also contains contradictory infor-
mation regarding the habitat of the California
red-legged frog, the group contends.
In October, Pacica residents launched an
organization to oppose the citys plan to
widen Highway 1 called Pacicans for
Highway 1 Alternatives which wants the city
to consider various alternatives to the Calera
Parkway Project, which would widen the
highway from Sharp Park through Rockaway
Beach.
Pacicans for a Scenic Coast is an offshoot
of Pacicans for Highway 1 Alternatives,
which has about 50 members, Kaufman said.
The project will be funded from San Mateo
County Transportation Measure A and State
Transportation Improvement Program funds
and is expected to take about two years to
complete.
The work will be done by the San Mateo
County Transportation Authority as Caltrans
will be the lead agency under CEQA. The
SMCTA, the Pacica City Council and city
staff have worked with Caltrans for years to
solve the areas trafc congestion problems.
Caltrans ofcials told the Daily Journal
yesterday they cannot comment on pending
litigation.

McDonalds robbery suspect
held for similar crime in East Bay
A man who robbed a San Mateo
McDonalds at gunpoint last week and
forced employees into a freezer while forc-
ing another to open the safe is also the same
suspect in a similar robbery at a McDonalds
in Pleasanton, San Mateo police reported
yesterday.
The suspect, 42-year-old suspect Felix
Gonzalez-Becerra of Oakland is in custody
and now faces charges in San Mateo and
Alameda counties.
Gonzalez-Becerra was spotted by a San
Mateo police ofcer driving his Chrysler PT
Cruiser across the San Mateo-Hayward
Bridge toward the East Bay. The officer
called for backup as police prepared for a
high-risk pursuit, according to police.
Police pulled him over in San Leandro and
recovered the stolen cash and a replica hand-
gun, according to police.
Gonzalez-Becerra allegedly robbed the
Pleasanton McDonalds, where he allegedly
once worked, Aug. 28 in the same fashion,
according to police.
He is currently jailed in San Mateo
County, according to police.
Board OKs $11,000 raise
for high-speed rail CEO
SACRAMENTO The board that over-
sees Californias High Speed Rail Authority
has approved a raise for its chief executive,
who makes $365,000 a year.
Board members unanimously approved a 3
percent raise for CEO Jeff Morales at their
meeting Tuesday in Sacramento. That
amounts to about $11,000 a year.
The 3 percent raise was recommended by
CalHR, the states human resources agency,
and matches those given to other senior rail
authority staffers in July.
Morales was named CEO last May.
The board had approved a $25,000 bonus
if Morales met certain benchmarks in his
rst year on the job, but he did not get the
payout.

For the fourth year in a row, the
Hillsborough City Elementary School
District had the number one Academic
Performance Index scores for a transitional
kindergarten to eighth grade district in
California.
The district walked away with scores rang-
ing from 956 to 978, a six-point drop from
last year, but still top in the state. North
Hillsborough had a Growth Score of 978,
while South Hillsboroughs Growth Score
was 956, West Hillsboroughs was 978 and
Crocker Middle Schools was 961.
It starts with high-quality teachers, said
Superintendent Anthony Ranii. The staff
goes the extra mile for the kids. We have a
supportive school board that makes the
right choices. Parents also take the time;
keeping kids ready for school and providing
funds.
Core partnerships with community
groups like the Hillsborough Schools
Foundation have also helped the schools
stay strong, Ranii said.
The 2013 Growth API data reveals that of
San Mateo Countys 166 schools, 109, or
66 percent, achieved a school-wide perform-
ance target API of at least 800, the highest
number yet since the inception of the states
accountability system in 2002. API is deter-
mined from statewide Standardized Testing
and Reporting results. Despite this achieve-
ment at the school level, API scores for the
countys districts and the state showed a
slight dip from last year. The API is a numer-
ic index that ranges from a low of 200 to a
high of 1,000.
School Board President Lynne Esselstein
attributes the high scores to the hard work
of kids, teachers and district staff.
The hard work is really about whats
doing whats best for kids, Esselstein said.
Were focusing on the instructional stuff,
not necessarily the tests themselves. The
whole community supports us. Schools are
what Hillsborough has going for it; its
really a focal point. We dont have a down-
town or a lot of businesses here. Schools
hold a special place in peoples hearts.
Changes are also coming to the state
though with curriculum and ultimately test-
ing. The new Common Core standards shift
to team collaborative learning, with less
time spent on lectures and more of an
emphasis on students using technology in
classrooms. New Smarter Balance testing,
which aligns with these new standards, will
go into effect during the 2014-15 school
year. Since 1998, California school dis-
tricts spent a signicant amount of time
preparing for STAR tests, which were
unpopular among some for a variety of rea-
sons.
In 2012, two Hillsborough elementary
schools even acted as pilot sites for the
Smarter Balance Assessments.
Will the new tests affect the districts
scores?
Im not worried about the scores, Ranii
said.
The district may nd test scores drop in
the few years of administering the new
tests, but that the district will make changes
accordingly based on data it gets from stu-
dents performances on the exams, Ranii
said.
State Assembly Bill 484, an overhaul of
the states student assessment system to
support Californias switch to the Common
Core State standards, would allow for nearly
all of the STAR tests to be suspended during
trials of new Smarter Balance Assessments.
The state Senate passed the bill yesterday. It
now heads to the Assembly for a vote before
it can be considered by Gov. Jerry Brown for
his signature.
Although not taking a particular stance
on the bill, Ranii noted that there will be a
lot of time and effort put into the new
instruction.
This is a big transition, Esselstein said.
Assessments are one facet of accountabili-
t y.
Hillsborough tops the state with test scores
This year marks the fourth year in a row of highest API scores
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A former California Highway Patrol auto
mechanic was sentenced to 120 days in jail
and ordered to repay more than $16,000 for
fraudulently billing the agency for parts and
labor, including equipment for his personal
vehicle.
Lester Frank Gutierrez, 46, of Daly City,
will also spend three years on supervised
probation and is prohibited from being
employed in a duciary position for the
crime of embezzling public funds.
Gutierrez worked in conjunction with the
Serramonte Ford body shop manager to
defraud the CHP but only Gutierrez has been
prosecuted so far, accord-
ing to the District
Attorneys Ofce.
Gutierrezs job was
maintaining and servic-
ing the CHP vehicle eet
for the San Francisco
division. According to
prosecutors, between
August 2011 and
September 2012, he sub-
mitted $2,859 worth of
invoices for parts and labor that was never
actually performed. A subsequent audit
showed the man billed CHP for $16,056 in
fraudulent labor and also $1,700 for
Gutierrezs personal vehicle parts, accord-
ing to prosecutors.
Gutierrez faced up to six months in jail
after pleading no contest. He surrenders to
the jail Oct. 26 and remains free on $75,000
bail.

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

Abill authored by
A s s e m b l y m a n
Rich Gordon, D-
Menl o Park, to
make a San Mateo
County child-care
pilot program permanent is headed to the
governor for signature. The bill, co-
authored by all San Mateo County state
lawmakers, will cement the program which
began after the Legi sl ature in 2003
passed a bill allowing exibility for fami-
ly eligibility and setting fees and reim-
bursement rates appropriate to the county.
The bill will also extend the pilot program
for the city and county of San Francisco
which began seven years ago. Without
Gordons legislation, the programs will
end next year, according to Gordons
ofce.
Two bills authored by state Se n.
Leland Yee, D-San Franci sco/ San
Mateo, to assist foster youth were passed
by the state Legislature and move to the
governors desk.
Young parents in the foster care system
face the challenges of being in foster care
as well as being a young, usually single,
parent. Studies of both groups have found
that they will experience higher than aver-
age rates of poverty, unemployment and
low educational attainment. Senate Bi l l
5 2 8 seeks to provide assistance to these
parents so they and their child can have a
better chance of success, according to Yees
ofce.
Senat e Bi l l 342 will ensure that
monthly social worker visits of foster
youth happen in the home of the child,
ensuring that social workers have a more
complete picture of the childs home life
and welfare and are better able to support
the child and the family. Data from the
Department of Soci al Servi ces shows
that nearly 24 percent of all case worker
visits occur outside the childs home lead-
ing to instances where some placements
were not been visited by a social worker for
an extended period of time, according to
Yees ofce.

Obituary
Bill protects immigrants
from employer retaliation
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown will
consider a bill that would make it illegal for
employers to report workers to immigration
authorities as retaliation for complaining
about their working conditions.
SB666 by Democratic Senate President Pro
Tem Darrell Steinberg of Sacramento would
let the state suspend or revoke an employers
business license if they attempt to have
workers deported for complaining about con-
ditions. They could be ned up to $10,000
per violation.
Republican Sen. Joel Anderson of Alpine
objected that other state laws already protect
workers no matter their status. Workers can
complain to state authorities if they are
underpaid or experience unsafe work condi-
tions.
Youthful offenders
may get chance for parole
SACRAMENTO Lawmakers are sending
Gov. Jerry Brown a bill to require parole hear-
ings for inmates who were sentenced to
lengthy prison terms for crimes they com-
mitted before they turned 18.
SB260, by Democratic Sen. Loni Hancock
of Berkeley, requires youth offender parole
hearings for juveniles who were prosecuted
as adults.
The Senate approved the bill 22-14 on
Tuesday.
It responds to federal and state supreme
court rulings nding that decades-long sen-
tences are improper for youthful offenders
who were not convicted of murder. Hancocks
bill goes further, requiring hearings even for
those convicted of homicide.
Bill would require
safety features in limos
SACRAMENTO Limousines that oper-
ate in California would be required to have
emergency exits under legislation approved
by the state Assembly in the wake of several
limousine re deaths.
Democratic Sen. Ellen Corbett of San
Leandro drafted the bill after two limousine
res in the San Francisco Bay Area earlier
this year. In one, ve passengers became
trapped in a limo and died in a re on the San
Mateo-Hayward Bridge.
Under SB109, limousines that carry fewer
than 10 passengers would be required to have
two push-out windows and two rear doors.
Bill to ban lead bullets
heads to governors desk
SACRAMENTO Abill that would make
California the rst state in the nation to ban
lead bullets for all types of hunting is headed
to Gov. Jerry Browns desk.
The Assembly approved AB711 by
Democratic Assemblyman Anthony Rendon
of Lakewood on Tuesday.
Proponents of the bill say the ban will pro-
tect condors and other wildlife that feed on
gut piles left behind by hunters.

NEWYORK When this years
Sept. 11 anniversary ceremony
unfolds at ground zero, the mayor
who has helped orchestrate the
observances from their start will
be watching for his last time in
ofce. And saying nothing.
Over his years as mayor and
chairman of the National Sept. 11
Memorial & Museum, Michael
Bloomberg has sometimes tangled
with victims relatives, religious
leaders and other elected ofcials
over an event steeped in symbol-
ism and emotion.
But his
administration
has largely suc-
ceeded at its
goal of keeping
the commemo-
ration centered
on the attacks
victims and
their families
and relatively
free of political
image-making. In that spirit, no
politicians including the mayor
were allowed to speak last year
or will be this year.
Memorial organizers expect to
take primary responsibility for
the ceremony next year and say
they plan to continue concentrat-
ing the event on victims loved
ones, even as the forthcoming
museum creates a new, broader
framework for remembering 9/11.
As things evolve in the future,
the focus on the remembrance is
going to stay sacrosanct, memo-
rial President Joe Daniels says.
At Wednesdays ceremony on the
2-year-old memorial plaza, rela-
tives will again read the names of
the nearly 3,000 people who died
when hijacked jets crashed into
the World Trade Center and the
Pentagon and near Shanksville,
Pa. Readers also will recite the
1993 trade center bombing vic-
tims names.
Sept. 11 ceremony will
be quiet last for mayor
One of three home burglars who
led police on a high-speed chase
into a Belmont neighborhood that
ended with him inside a recycling
bin was sentenced yesterday to
nine years in prison.
Dalton Tubby, 22, of Oakland,
will also pay restitution to be
determined at an Oct. 18 hearing.
After all three pleaded no contest
to residential burglary in June,
Tubby faced the stiffest sentence
because of two prior convictions.
Co-defendant Jorge Nevarez, 23,
received a two-year term and co-
defendant Marquis Weaver, 20,
both of Oakland, was jailed six
months.
The three men were arrested
March 7 after the high-speed chase
that ended with Tubby allegedly
hiding in a residential recycling
bin. The mid-morning pursuit
began after a San Mateo resident
called police to report three peo-
ple breaking
into a
L a k e w o o d
Circle neigh-
bors home and
exit with stolen
property. Based
on the callers
partial license
plate and car
description, an
ofcer spotted a possible match
and followed as the gold Hyundai
Santa Fe sped up and changed lanes
evasively until exiting on Holly
Street. The police chased the SUV
reportedly driven by Nevarez
into a cul-de-sac on Rinconada
Circle in the hills of Belmont near
Fox Elementary School where
Tubby and Nevarez ed on foot. A
Belmont ofcer spotted a gun in
Tubbys hand and hit him with his
vehicle.
Tubby reportedly ed but was
found hiding inside a recycling
can in another yard.

LOS ANGELES California is
close to passing a sweeping over-
haul of its energy regulations that
could affect electrical rates for mil-
lions of customers and rewrite rules
on solar power usage.
AB327 was approved by the state
Senate on Monday with a 33-5 vote
after clearing the Assembly by a
vote of 66-4 in May. The measure
faces one largely procedural vote in
the Assembly before it is sent to
Gov. Jerry Brown, who is expected
to sign it, the Los Angeles Times
reported.
The proposal would replace out-
dated, electric-rate restrictions
adopted during the states energy
regulation crisis over a decade
ago, said its author, Assemblyman
Henry T. Perea, D-Fresno.
The bill would allow the states
Public Utilities Commission to
change the rate structure for many
utility customers after conducting a
detailed investigation. Coastal res-
idents might see higher bills while
people in hotter climates such as
San Bernardino and Riverside coun-
ties, the San Joaquin Valley and the
Mojave Desert might see rate relief,
the Times said.

Keeping the Hillsborough City
Elementary School District one of
the top districts in the state, while
adjusting to Common Core stan-
dards and technology are impor-
tant issues for those seeking a seat
on the districts Board of Trustees.
There are three open seats on the
board. Trustees Steven Koury and
Mary Ellen Benninger are not
seeking re-election, making cur-
rent president Lynne Esselstein
the only incumbent in the race.
The other candidates are Don
Geddis, Kaarin Hardy and Pearl
Wu.
An in-ofce forum was held to
help the Daily Journal determine
endorsements. To allow each can-
didate a forum to express their
opinions on the issues discussed,
candidates were given the same
questions and asked to answer each
in 50 words or fewer. Answers are
arranged alphabetically by the
candidates last name.
Do you think the district
has sufci entl y prepared for
the Common Core standards?
Lynne Essel stei n: We began
implementation over a year ago.
In 2012, teachers began standards
and instructional professional
development trainings, two ele-
mentary schools participated in
Smarter Balance Assessment trials
and Crocker changed to a new
schedule allowing for embedded
common planning time for each
academic department. We have a
plan; were on track.
Don Geddis: Common Core
standards are still a year away, and
the districts preparation is on
schedule. Last spring,
Hillsborough schools had trials of
the Common Core assessments.
This past summer, extensive pro-
fessional development focused on
the new standards. Finally, the
improved Crocker schedule allows
significantly more time for
teacher collaboration.
Kaarin Hardy: Yes. Our prepa-
rations have included grade level
work to understand the standards,
and evaluate the changes needed
across our curriculum, as well as
ongoing staff development.
Additionally, to ensure adequate
collaborative time for teachers,
and increased teaching time for
students, a new student schedule
was implemented at Crocker
Middle School.
Pearl Wu: The Hillsborough
schools are high performing and
have been preparing for the
Common Core for the past ve
years. Concurrent to no child left
behind is my reinforcing mis-
sion that every child goes for-
ward! Electives on science, tech-
nology and engineering comple-
ment reading, writing and math as
enrichment venues for students.
What do you think of the
di st ri ct s use of capi t al
appreci ati on bonds?
Lynne Essel st ei n: The dis-
tricts CABs represent a small per-
centage of our overall $66.8 mil-
lion bond program (total debt
ratio is 3.29:1), were structured
with CIBs to manage interest and
avoid balloon payments, and are
callable (a recent renance saved
our taxpayers $2 million). HCSD
CAB use was informed, conserva-
tive and appropriate for our situa-
tion.
Don Geddis: The district has
wisely used well-designed CABs,
as part of its scally conservative
financial plan. The concerns
raised by the San Mateo County
Civil Grand Jury generally dont
apply to the structure of
Hillsborough bonds. Our Citizens
Oversight Committee thoroughly
monitored the nances, and gave a
stellar review.
Kaarin Hardy: Our district has
acted responsibly and taken pre-
cautions to help safeguard our tax-
payers. HCSDs CABs meet the
recommendations proposed by the
Grand Jury including a callable
option, our debt ratio is well
below the recommended 4:1, and
the district maintains a AAABond
rating. All signs of sound nan-
cial management.
Pearl Wu: At the Aug. 21, 2013
school board meeting, capital
appreciation bonds were dis-
cussed. My stand is to rmly safe-
guard taxpayers hard earned
money. There is a statewide mora-
torium on CABs, and prudent judg-
ment to avert short-term gain for
long-term pain is key to the dis-
tricts nancial health.
Do you think the current
educati onal off eri ngs pro -
vi de the ri ght emphasi s?
Lynne Essel stei n: Yes, but
the program looks different than it
did in 2008. Budget cuts eliminat-
ed K-5 Spanish and some comput-
er lab support, but protected
music, innovation lab, counsel-
ing and libraries. Now standards
are changing, funding is improv-
ing and we have begun a communi-
ty-wide conversation to talk about
educational priorities transfor-
mation is coming.
Don Geddis: The districts cur-
riculum is excellent, in both man-
dated material as well as enrich-
ment such as Essential Outcomes
and Innovation Labs. The district
also recently has begun a compre-
hensive strategic visioning
process. Im particularly excited
about more extensive differentia-
tion, as well as teaching the skill
of persistence.
Kaarin Hardy: We have a rich
curriculum that incorporates prob-
lem solving, social and emotional
learning with the basics of math,
reading and science. The district is
undertaking a comprehensive
strategic planning initiative to
ensure what we teach keeps pace
with a changing world. Im excited
to contribute to this planning
process.

Letters to the editor
I
t was 12 years ago today that
the United States was attacked.
Everyone knows the date and,
aside from the very young, remembers
where they were when they heard the
news.
It was an awful attack and forever
changed our nation. At rst, there was
a galvanizing effect in which we all
stood together. Members of Congress
even stood on the steps of the U.S.
Capitol and sang God Bless
America. Today, the idea of such
unity is unthinkable. So what hap-
pened to us? Time and distance. And
yet today is a reminder of what tran-
spired that fateful morning and how it
showed the worst of humanity, and
then the best of humanity. Forever
etched in our minds should be the
effort of rst responders who bravely
put their lives on the line to save as
many people as possible even with-
out knowing the full range of events
that were unfolding. The stories are
myriad and varied and we should think
of the gallant effort of that day.
But we should also remind ourselves
of the negative aspects as well. We
were attacked and innocent people
were killed. Families were ripped
apart and fathers, mothers, daughters
and sons were taken from their loved
ones. We must be resolute in our own
reminders of the meaning of those
attacks as the repercussions are with
us today. In the name of national
security, our privacy has been violat-
ed. In the name of national security,
we have engaged in two costly wars
both in terms of nances and the
loss of life. Much has been done to
protect us and, for the most, the
actions have been successful. But not
all. It is still a work in progress and it
is key for us all to be mindful of what
type of society we wish to have as we
move ahead.
Much has changed over the past 12
years since the attack while many
things have remained the same. As we
remember Sept. 11, 2001, we should
be mindful of the sacrice, of the loss
and the way we saw, in the days that
immediately followed those attacks,
that as Americans we have more in
common than differences.

hot dog as appeared in this newspaper on Aug. 30. But
the epitome of chutzpah was The Day of Bacon on Labor
Day weekend. When reading about it, one immediately
senses that this had to be a gimmick promoted by an
entrepreneur out to prot from peoples lack of dietary
prudence. I wonder how many bucks he squeezed out of the
pork industry for this blatant promotion of a product that
has long been on the foods to avoid list of cardiovascu-
lar physicians.
Obviously, the people
who go for this stuff are
not aware of or they do
not care about how the
animals are raised, treated
and slaughtered and how
the bacon is processed. Do
they realize how the
employees (often illegal
immigrants) are exploited,
how the offal from the ani-
mals and the processing
plants contaminates the
surrounding area? Does it
matter to them?
Obviously, they are not concerned about their health and
the health of the environment only about what tastes
good right now.
If you read the hot dog article, you were informed that:
Its an exciting time to eat a hot dog. Well, I guess
thats one way to put it, but it seems to me that if you are
still eating hot dogs, in spite of all the advice against
ingesting processed meat, you havent been listening
or you have been cavalierly ignoring any and all advice
about eating for health. Check out any list put out by
responsible researchers of foods to avoid and processed
meats are there.
Consider a report in the Sept. 6 The Week that asks
the question, Does soda make kids violent? Researchers
from Columbia University, after interviewing the parents
of about 3,000 5-year-olds in 20 cities, found that those
who consumed the most soda were twice as likely to get
into ghts and destroy other peoples property as those
who didnt consume soft drinks at all, once other possible
factors were ruled out. And they add, Previous research
has shown a similar link between soda consumption and
violent behavior among adolescents.
Add this to all of the information lately about the ques-
tionable ingredients in sodas from high fructose corn
syrup to those avors and colorings that they have been
keeping secret. And it makes you wonder if we truly value
our children.
This all reminds of a regular feature in Nutrition Action
Healthletter titled Food Porn. Their latest contribution
is Dennys new Macho Nacho Burger. How desperate can
those burger outlets be as they try to appeal to those who
are manly enough to ignore common sense advice about
their health. This burger contains 1,020 calories (half a
days worth) plus 25 grams of saturated fat and 2,170 mil-
ligrams of sodium (more than a days worth of each).
Arecent article in the newspaper informs that a study by
the University of Oklahoma School of Public Health
shows 80 percent of U.S. teens are eating their way to
heart disease. So who is responsible for all of this? Does
anyone really care? As long as we get to eat all of those
products that have been formulated to tempt us and the
industry laughs all the way to the bank, is that OK? Are
most of us living only for today and ignoring the implica-
tions for the future? Is it too much trouble to think about
these things? As the article reports: All the health care
reform in the world wont bring down Americans health
care costs if Americas teens not to mention their par-
ents dont take better care of themselves.
So how are teens going to learn about good nutrition?
Not in school and not from parents who are often over-
worked and so involved in their own activities and whose
diets are just as bad as their kids. During these very impor-
tant years of their lives nutritionally growing fast and
often developing lifelong eating habits teens are being
essentially let loose in the enticing milieu of junk food.
In our culture, where the overriding value is instant grat-
ication, corporate interests are secure in the knowledge
that there will be no concerted effort by consumers to
eschew their products and that those who will make an
effort to learn about good nutrition and eat accordingly
will hardly make a dent in their exorbitant prots. Is this
how to produce healthy American citizens?
We cannot leave the trap until we know we are in it.

W
hen it comes to selecting
who should serve on the
Hillsborough City
Elementary School District, there are
really no wrong answers. All four of
the candidates for three seats on the
board are top-notch with great ideas,
enthusiasm and community connec-
tions.
And there are not sweeping changes
needed at the board level.
Hillsborough schools are some of the
best, with high scores and innovative
course offerings. And even coming
out of a period in which cuts were nec-
essary, the district itself has come out
relatively unscathed and is looking at
seeing its revenue rise once again.
But choose one must. Lynne
Esselstein, Don Geddis and Kaarin
Hardy deserve your vote.
Esselstein is an incumbent and pro-
vides a certain amount of institutional
knowledge on a board that is seeing
two incumbents Steven Koury and
Mary Ellen Benninger opt out of
re-election. Esselstein has a quick
command of the districts issues
including its nances as well as the
ability to place the district within the
state education ecosystem. Wi t h
Common Core curriculum changes and
the future planning initiative on the
horizon, Hillsborough schools would
be well-served by another term by
Esselstein.
Change will soon be a constant in
all California schools with the imple-
mentation of Common Core and
Hillsborough is already setting the
stage for that change by implement-
ing some of the teaching practices
early. With the future planning initia-
tive on deck as well for Hillsborough
schools, Hardys experience as a
change management consultant puts
her in a unique position to assist the
board and the district navigate some
of these changes. She is also fully
immersed in the towns education
community through her work on par-
ent boards and schools foundation and
has been key in understanding how
the district best meet the challenge of
implementing Common Core. She
will be a great representative for col-
laboration.
Geddis has a Ph.D. in computer sci-
ence and is intrigued by the future
possibilities of technology in the
classroom. However, while excited by
it, he recognizes it as a tool and con-
siders exposure to a well-designed les-
son is paramount. In fact, his desire
for an emphasis on the importance of
developing persistence as a character
trait in addition to critical thinking
and presentation skills is a refreshing
thought. In addition, he would like to
emphasize communication so that
clear goals are established between
teachers, parents and students.
Wu also brings good ideas to the
table with her emphasis on wellness
and her desire to expand the districts
offerings of world languages.
Each candidate would do a great job
on the board but the best candidates in
this particular election at this time of
great change is Esselstein, Geddis and
Hardy.
Esselstein, Geddis, Hardy for Hillsborough schools

Stocks rose and oil prices fell
Tuesday as the risk that the U.S. would
attack Syria appeared to fade.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
had its sixth straight gain, the
longest winning streak since July.
Stocks set new highs in early
August, but worries over Syria have
pushed them lower since then. Even
though Syria isnt a big oil producer,
the possibility of a wider conict in
the region drove oil prices to two-year
highs last week.
On Tuesday, investors were relieved
that Syria accepted a proposal to put
its chemical weapons under interna-
tional control for dismantling. The
possibility that the crisis between the
U.S. and Syria might be solved peace-
fully was a factor in the stock markets
gain on Monday, too.
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 127.94 points, or 0.9 percent, to
close 15,191.06. The Standard &
Poors 500 index rose 12.28 points,
or 0.73 percent, to 1,683.99 and the
Nasdaq composite rose 22.84 points,
or 0.62 percent, to 3,729.02.
Crude oil, which closed above $110
a barrel on Friday, lost $2.13, almost
2 percent, to close at $107.39 a bar-
rel.
All 10 industry groups in the S&P
500 rose. The biggest gains were in
nancial and industrial stocks.
Despite the recent gains for stocks,
Ralph Fogel of Fogel Neale Partners
thinks its about time for a pullback in
the market. He noted that its close to
the ve-year anniversary of the nan-
cial crisis, and the Dow has more than
doubled since then.
The years since the crisis brought
almost a straight-up market without a
15 percent correction. Thats a pretty
neat move, he said. That doesnt
mean you have to have one, but the
probability starts to get higher and
higher.
The next signicant move isnt up
20 percent, he said. Its down 20.
Scott Wren, a senior equity strate-
gist for Wells Fargo Advisors in St.
Louis, said investors are still nervous.
A lot of our clients are sitting on
too much cash and are kind of paranoid
of the market, he said. He expects
stock prices to be volatile over the
next few months because of the debate
over the U.S. debt ceiling as well as
elections in Germany.

WASHINGTON U.S. employers adver-
tised fewer jobs in July but hired more work-
ers, a mixed sign that suggests only modest
improvement in the job market.
Job openings fell 180,000 in July to 3.7
million, the Labor Department said Tuesday.
Thats down from 3.9 million the previous
month, which was revised lower.
Overall hiring increased to 4.4 million, up
from 4.3 million in June and 4.17 million a
year ago. Still, hiring has uctuated in recent
months and remains below the 5 million
pace before the recession.
Layoffs dropped to 1.5 million, the lowest
level on records dating back to 2001.
The latest data on job openings and
turnover in the workforce reaffirmed the
painfully slow but steady progress taking
place over the past three years. The economy
is adding jobs. But much of the improvement
has come from a drop in layoffs not rapid
hiring. Employers added 169,000 net jobs
in August, and many fewer than previously
thought in July and June, the government
said Friday.

WASHINGTON The gulf between the
richest 1 percent and the rest of America is
the widest its been since the Roaring 20s.
The very wealthiest Americans earned
more than 19 percent of the countrys house-
hold income last year their biggest share
since 1928, the year before the stock market
crash. And the top 10 percent captured a
record 48.2 percent of total earnings last
year.
U.S. income inequality has been growing
for almost three decades. And it grew again
last year, according to an analysis of Internal
Revenue Service gures dating to 1913 by
economists at the University of California,
Berkeley, the Paris School of Economics and
Oxford University.
One of them, Berkeleys Emmanuel Saez,
said the incomes of the richest Americans
surged last year in part because they cashed in
stock holdings to avoid higher capital gains
taxes that took effect in January.
In 2012, the incomes of the top 1 percent
rose nearly 20 percent compared with a 1 per-
cent increase for the remaining 99 percent.
Richest 1 percent earn biggest share since 20s
Apple introduces two new iPhone models
CUPERTINO Apples latest iPhones will come in a
bevy of colors and two distinct designs, a cheaper one
made of plastic and another that aims to be the gold stan-
dard of smartphones and reads your ngerprint.
Apple unveiled the latest iPhone models, available on
Sept. 20, during an event at its Cupertino headquarters.
The new iPhones arrive at a time when rival phones from
Samsung and other manufacturers are challenging Apple
in the competitive smartphone market. Research rm
Gartner Inc. estimates that Apple had a 14.4 percent share
of the worlds smartphone market in the second quarter of
this year, No. 2 behind Samsungs 31.7 percent.
The lower-cost iPhone 5C will be available in ve col-
ors green, blue, yellow, pink and white. CEO Tim Cook
calls it more fun and colorful than any other iPhone.
The 5C has a 4-inch Retina display and is powered by
Apples A6 chip. It also has an 8 megapixel camera, live
photo lters and a rear cover that lights up.
The iPhone 5C will cost $99 for a 16 gigabyte model
and $199 for a 32 gigabyte model with a two-year wireless
contract.
Google loses appeal in Street View snooping case
SAN JOSE Afederal appeals court said Google wrong-
ly collected peoples personal correspondence and online
activities through their Wi-Fi systems as it drove down
their streets with car cameras shooting photos for its
Street View mapping project.
The ruling that the practice violates wiretap laws sends
a warning to other companies seeking to suck up vast
amounts of data from unencrypted Wi-Fi signals.
The payload data transmitted over unencrypted Wi-Fi
networks that was captured by Google included emails,
usernames, passwords, images, and documents, wrote the

womens water polo head coach
Randy Wright sees it, it takes a
team to replace a pair of All-
Americans.
Thats the task in front of the
Bulldogs as they prepare for 2013
season. Last years squad made
history. CSM nished second in
the tough Coast Conference and
earned its first
ever trip to the
postseason
nishing tied for
fifth at Norcals.
They also boasted
two All-Americans
in Daria Kekuewa
and Miya Oto who were the
heart and soul of the team.
But those two have moved on.
And whats left, according to
Wright, is a team that has plenty
to look forward to.
Lots of different faces, lots of
different places, Wright said.
Its great. Its promi si ng.
Clearly, the six girls that are on
the field, plus three, four subs
are better than any team Ive
fielded in the past.
The overall team strength is
CSMs biggest weapon for the
new season. While there are still
a lot of unknowns, mostly
revolving around how the team
will gel in the pool, the sopho-
more core plus the influx of great
talent (coming from as far away
as Idaho) has Wright excited
about CSMs prospects of dupli-
cating last seasons success.
This season we have team
speed, Wright said. None of
them are close to Miya Oto. But
the average team speed is better
than it was last year.

Aragons rst-year varsity vol-
leyball coach Kelsey Stiles said
her Dons squad is still trying to
nd its identity as she continues to
mix and match players to nd the
best combination.
Stiles, a 2005 Aragon graduate,
must be pushing the right buttons
because the Dons improved to 7-0
on the young season with a 25-22,
25-13, 25-18 sweep of visiting
Santa Teresa Tuesday afternoon.
It was very sloppy, Stiles said
of Tuesdays match. Were still
trying to get everything together.
All of our big players (from last
year) are gone. It is a transition
(this season).
The Dons appear to be transi-
tioning quite well. They opened
their season over the weekend at a
tournament in San Lorenzo, where
they went 6-0. Tuesdays win
keeps the Dons winning streak
alive.
And despite the sweep of the
Saints, Aragon had to work for it.
The Dons had to battle back from
decits in Games and 1 and 3, but
when they cut down on their
errors, Santa Teresa didnt really
have an answer for the Dons.
Those errors, however, kept
things close, especially in Game
1. The Dons took a 6-4 lead in
Game 1 following a back-row kill
from Ryan Castillo, but Santa
Teresa responded with a 7-1 run to
take an 11-7 lead.
Trailing 13-8, Aragon won ve
straight points to tie the game at
13 with Mel Moores two kills
sparking the run. Later, with the
score tied at 22, Santa Teresa com-
mitted three straight errors to hand
the game to the Dons.
Of the Saints 22 points in Game
1, 15 came off Aragon errors.

One needed to only look at the
back of the T-shirts worn by the
Monta Vista girls tennis team to
know exactly what host
Burlingame was up against in its
season opener Tuesday.
In the left-hand column were the
years Monta Vista won the Central
Coast Section championship:
2003, 2004, 2005, 2007 and
2011. In the right-hand column
were the years the Matadors won
Northern California titles: 2003,

and 2012.

had their hands full.
Coach is crazy, is how
Burlingame coach Bill Smith
responded to the question why
schedule Monta Vista and
todays opponent Menlo School,
which might be even more accom-
plished than Monta Vista.
On a serious note, Smith said
not only does it allow his players
to see what top-notch competition
looks like, but it also helps with
power points at the end of the sea-
son when it comes to the CCS
playoffs.
In the end, Monta Vista came
away with a 8-1 victory in a match
that featured four singles matches
and ve doubles matches, since it
was a non-league match.
Despite the seemingly lopsided
result, Smith was actually pleased
with his teams performance.
I thought it would be a lot
worse, Smith said. We got some
moral victories.

SAN FRANCISCO Defending
Americas Cup champion Oracle
Team USAcould be in deep trouble
against scrappy Emirates Team
New Zealand.
The American powerhouse was
so soundly beaten by the Kiwis in
Race 5 Tuesday that Larry Ellisons
syndicate had to call timeout.
Ellison, the software billionaire
who runs Oracle Corp., has made
crew changes before, and some
could be coming after a major
blunder by his team let Team New
Zealand speed off to a resounding
victory of 1 minute, 5 seconds on
San Francisco Bay on Tuesday.
Not long before the scheduled
start of Race 6, Oracle Team USA
radioed in to the race committee
that it was playing its one post-
ponement card of the regatta,
meaning the race was scrubbed
until Thursday.
The Kiwis crushed the momen-
tum Oracle gained with its heart-
stopping win in Race 4 on Sunday.
Team New Zealand leads 4 to
minus-1 and needs ve more wins
to claim the oldest trophy in inter-
national sports for the Royal New
Zealand Yacht Squadron.
Oracle was docked two points by
an international jury and wing sail
trimmer Dirk de Ridder was booted
from the regatta in the biggest
cheating scandal in the 162-year
history of the Americas Cup. It
needs 10 wins to keep the Auld
Mug.
Skipper Jimmy Spithill said
Oracle Team USA needs to regroup
and make some changes. Whether
theyre to the 72-foot catamaran,
the crew or tactics or all three
remains to be seen. Oracle has
made numerous errors this regatta
and Team New Zealand continues
to make strong gains sailing
upwind.
Either way, it was a stunning
move for the well-funded, deep
sailing team that won the
Americas Cup in 2010.
After Oracle announced it was
playing its card, Spithill hopped

STANFORD Stanford coach David Shaw
sat his players down this week to make sure
they understood this years annual East
Coast trip carries special meaning.
Not because its crucial for the Cardinal to
get coaches out on distant recruiting trips,
which it is. Or because it will be the only
time friends and families
for some players can
attend a game this year,
which it will be.
No, its because of the
opponent: Army.
Were playing against
young men that are will-
ing to do some of the
things that were not
willing to do down the
road, Shaw said Tuesday.
Our freedom is in their hands. We love
them, we appreciate them.
And this week, they will try to beat them.
The matchup between No. 5 Stanford (1-0)
and Army (1-1) at West Point on Saturday
has a historical signicance for the Cardinal
and personal signicance to Shaw.
In 1928, head coach and New York native
Glenn Pop Warner took Stanford east of
the Mississippi for the rst time in a 26-0
loss against Army in front of some 86,000
fans at the old Yankee Stadium.
Shaw, whose father served in the Air Force
during the Vietnam War, also said about 10
to 12 of his current players a roster with
roots in 30 states have a family connec-
tion to the service academies.
Shaw has a cousin serving overseas in the
Army now, his grandfather was in the Navy
and he has a couple of aunts and uncles who
were in the military.
Willie Shaw, a former NFL and college
assistant coach who is often around the
Stanford team, said he enlisted in the Air
Force out of his San Diego high school
because he wanted to learn about electron-
ics. He served from 1962-66, including
stops all over Asia and the Far East, rising
to the rank of sergeant.
The war in Vietnam escalated shortly after
he enlisted, and the Air Force sent him over-
seas to x computer systems in cockpits
and other armored electronic instruments.
You look down and see a 500-pound
bomb strapped to a plane. We knew they
were going to be dropped on people, Willie
Shaw said. Itll make you grow up real
fast.
The most recent connection between
Stanford and Army football came on the
recruiting trail. Former two-way star Owen
Marecic, who was drafted in the fourth round
by the Cleveland Browns in 2011, chose the
Cardinal over the Black Knights.
Wide receiver Devon Cajuste also is
among several Stanford players with Army
ties. His sister served in the Army and Black
Knights linebacker Tyler McLees played for
a rival New York high school that would
always beat Cajustes team.
I was waiting for this game for two years
because now its my turn, Cajuste said.
The visit to West Point this week will also
include more than a game.
Stanford is taking a ight Thursday after-
noon to New York to allow for an extra day
to adjust to the time change, especially with
a 9 a.m. PDT scheduled kickoff. Shaw has a
bus tour organized around the gothic-style
buildings on campus Friday for his players
to learn about Armys history before play-
ing near the banks of the Hudson River at
Michie Stadium on Saturday.
Im going to be a tourist for a little bit,
Shaw said.
Stanford, which opened as a 30-point
favorite by Las Vegas bookmakers, should
have a distinct size advantage at the line of
scrimmage.
Army game has very special
meaning for Shaw, Stanford
SANTA CLARA Quarterback Colin
Kaepernick and linebacker Patrick Willis
engaged in a friendly game of one-on-one
with a miniature basketball at one end of the
San Francisco 49ers locker room
Across the room, Aldon Smith leaned
back on a stool and waved off a suggestion
this weeks game against Seattle is any
more important than the others on the
schedule.
Five days before the 49ers play the
Seahawks in a matchup between division
rivals, the defending NFC champions could-
nt be more relaxed.
Smith, especially, seems very calm.
After setting the franchise single-season
record for sacks a year ago, San Franciscos
rst-round pick in 2011 is off to another
fast start. Hes also increased his workload
and split time on both the right and left side
of the 49ers defense in Sundays win over
Green Bay.
It was just giving me a chance to move
around a little bit, Smith said Tuesday. It
gives (opponents) something to game plan
for. We all know each others strengths and
weaknesses. Being able to move around just
helps out.
Smith stayed almost exclusively at right
outside linebacker in 2012 when he broke
Fred Deans 28-year-old team record with 19
1/2 sacks and was voted to the Pro Bowl.
Those numbers, however, are slightly
misleading. After defensive end Justin
Smith went out with triceps and elbow
injuries which forced him to miss the nal
two regular season games, Aldon Smiths
production decreased signicantly.
He was held without a sack over the nal
three games, then was shut out in San
Franciscos two playoff games and in the
Super Bowl.
Both Smiths looked ne in last weeks
season-opening 34-28 win over Green Bay.
Justin Smith had three tackles, while Aldon
Smith had six, including 1 1/2 sacks. He
also forced four hurries by Packers quarter-
back Aaron Rodgers.
Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson is a
completely different challenge than
Rodgers.
We just have to make sure were on top of
our stuff, defending the run, defending the
option, then stopping the pass, Smith
said. Well make sure we focus on those
things so when game time comes were
ready.
When asked if it was good that the two
NFC West powerhouses, San Francisco and
Seattle, were meeting so early in the sea-
son, Smith seemed not interested.
Uh, what about it? he asked. Just
another game.
The rest of the 49ers arent so certain.

U.S. takes down Mexico, qualifies for 2014 Cup
By Ronald Blum
COLUMBUS, Ohio The United
States clinched its seventh straight
World Cup appearance, beating
Mexico 2-0 Tuesday night on sec-
ond-half goals by Eddie Johnson and
Landon Donovan before a raucous
red-white-and-blue-clad crowd that
stood and chanted from start to n-
ish.
After withstanding Mexican pres-
sure for the rst 20 minutes, the U.S.
settled in the match and got the
breakthrough in the 49th minute
when Johnson outjumped defender
Diego Reyes to meet Donovans cor-
ner kick 8 yards out and head the ball
past frozen goalkeeper Jesus Corona.
With Mexican shifting to an
offense-minded 3-4-3 formation, the
U.S. scored in the 78th following a
throw in when Mix Diskerud threaded
the ball across the middle. Clint
Dempsey got the slightest of touches
as he slid into the goalmouth, and
Donovan poked the ball in from 2
yards.
The U.S. (5-2-1) moved into rst
place in the North and Central
American and Caribbean nals with
16 points, one
ahead of Costa
Rica (4-1-3),
which was held
to a 1-1 tie at
l a s t - p l a c e
Jamaica and also
clinched.
The top three
teams qualify,
and the U.S. had
to wait an hour
after the nal whistle to learn it was
assured of a spot in the 32-nation
eld for Brazil next June. But when
Honduras (3-3-2) held on for a 2-2 tie
against Panama (1-2-5) in
Tegucigalpa, the Americans had
grabbed a berth with two games to
spare.
Mexico (1-2-5) dropped into fth
on goal difference and seems likely at
best headed to a playoff against
Oceania champion New Zealand.
U.S. players, many carrying
large American ags on sticks, cel-
ebrated their win with a lap around
the eld, saluting the crowd the
whole way. Then they went to the
locker room to wait out the
Honduras game. About 1,000 fans
stuck around to watch on the
videoboard, chanting for Honduras.
Following wins over Mexico in
qualiers by identical 2-0 scores at
Columbus Crew Stadium in 2001,
2005 and 2009, the U.S. Soccer
Federation picked the same venue for
this years match.
The capacity crowd of 24,584
taunted the Mexicans with chants of
Dos a cero! and Youre not going
to Brazil!
Fans were so loud during The Star-
Spangled Banner that anthem singer
Kayleigh Schoeld was forced to
alter her tempo to match that of the
crowd.

Notre Dame de Namurs Adriana
Cortes has kicked off the new soc-
cer season with a bang.
Cortes capped off her amazing
opening week by being named the
rst women's soccer Pacic West
Conference Player of the Week for
the 2013 season.
Cortes was darn near unstop-
pable in NDNU's three games last
week (2-1 record), scoring five
goals and adding an assist.
Cortes scored five of the
Argonauts six goals for the week
while assisting on the other and
scoring both game-winners.
Through the rst week of the
season, Cortes leads the confer-
ence in points and goals.
On the defensive side, NDNUs
mens soccer goalkeeper, Jay
Tsuruoka started his junior season
out strong, earning the rst Pacic
West Conference Defender of the
Week Award. Tsuruoka helped lead
the Argos to a 1-1 record, includ-
ing a five-save shutout against
CSU East Bay on Sunday. Tsuruoka
posted a .846 save percentage.
And finally in NDNU award
news, the Argonauts volleyball
team went 1-3 at the Springhill
Suites Invitational in Alaska last
weekend but that did not stop
freshman Dominique Tarrant from
taking home some hardware.
Tarrant burst onto the scene for
the Argos in the rst matches of
her career, racking up double-digit
kills in all four matches.
She opened the tournament with
10 kills in a loss to American
International before turning in a
spectacular 22-kill performance
against Claflin a match the
Argos won 3-1.
For the weekend, Tarrant totaled
60 kills, averaging 15 per match
and 4 per game. She also tacked on
49 digs, collecting at least 10 in
three of four matches.
Community College updates
The Skyline volleyball team
returns to the court Wednesday for
the BVC Classic. There, the Lady
Trojans will try to post their rst
back-to-back win stretch in 2013
this after beating Marin
College.
Actually, Skyline has yet to win
or lose consecutive games this
year. Before the Marin game, they
lost to Modesto College.
In the Marin win, Jacqueline
Brandt recorded 33 assists and 10
digs while Judy Viduya led the
offensive charge with 15 kills
her highest output of the season
while hitting .333. In six games,
Viduya has tallied double-digit
kills three times.
The Skyline womens soccer
team has hit a bit of lull. After
drawing 2-2 to begin the season,
with goals by Ileana Moncada to
lead the way, the Lady Trojans
were shutout twice by a combined
6-0.
Its lining up to be a season of
growing pains for Skyline with
only ve sophomores on the cur-
rent roster.
Over at Caada College, the
womens volleyball posted an
opening day win over Monterey
Peninsula College 3-1 (27-29, 25-
20, 25-21, 25-21). While in mens
soccer, Foothill blanked the Colts
3-0.

Following a pair of wins over

College Volleyball Tournament,
the Lady Oaks find themselves
receiving votes in the rst regular

Coaches Top 25 Poll released
Tuesday by the NAIAs national

Menlo narrowly missed crack-
ing the top 25, receiving 63 total

The Lady Oaks sit at 4-3 on the
young season with impressive
wins over then No. 9 The Masters
College and No. 20 CSU San
Marcos. Menlo also boasts an
impressive victory against Lewis-
Clark State who received votes in
the preseason poll.
The Lady Oaks have two more

Natalie Somers rallied from a one-set decit
to pull out a 6-7(5), 6-2, (13-11) win over
Shwetha Bharadwaj.
The No. 1 doubles team of Lisa Patel and
Haley Shaffer also managed to win a set,
dropping a three-set decision to Jenna
McGuirk and Nicole Stomakhin 6-2, 2-6, 6-
3. The Panthers No. 5 doubles team of Pryia
Patel and Megan Reilly won their second set
to force Monta Vistas Katherine Guo and
Anushka Tyagi to play a third set in the
Matadors 7-6(3), 3-6, (10-8) victory.
Smiths biggest fear was getting com-
pletely swept away by the Matadors, thus
preventing him from getting a true evalua-
tion of his team. He believes the Panthers
may be a year away from challenging for the
Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division
championship, but expects to be in the mix
for one of the league playoff spots and a
spot in CCS.
Smith said Hillsdale could be the team to
beat this season. Rumors have it that the
Knights have arguably the best player on
the Peninsula back in the fold after she took
a year off. Another newcomer may push
reigning PAL tournament champion and
Daily Journal Tennis Player of the Year
Mariko Iinuma into the No. 3 singles spot.
Smith also expects Menlo-Atherton and
Aragon to also be battling for the league
title, along with Carlmont.
In reality, this could be one of the more
competitive Bay Division seasons the PAL
has seen in quite some time.
One of the best singles players this sea-
son could be Burlingames Alex Harrigan.
Although she lost in straight sets to Monta
Vistas Aiswarya Sankar 6-2, 6-3, Harrigan
showed she has the power and all-around
court game to be in the mix for the individ-
ual PAL title this season.
Alex is a lot better player, but its not
showing on the scorecard (against Sankar),
Smith said.
Harrigan denitely had the groundstrokes
to play with Sankar, as well as deft net play.
What did her in Tuesday was her inability to
remain as consistent as Sankar. Too many
unforced errors doomed Harrigan.
Despite the very real possibility of start-
ing the season 0-2 the Panthers have
never beaten Menlo Smith doesnt
believe it will have a detrimental affect on
his team.
In tennis, I dont think getting beat up, I
dont think it destroys your will, Smith
said.
Oscar De La Hoya admits
himself to rehabilitation
Oscar De La Hoya has admitted himself to
a treatment facility as he continues to ght
substance abuse, just days ahead of the big
ght his company is promoting between
Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Canelo Alvarez.
The former boxer issued a statement
Tuesday saying he voluntarily admitted
himself to an unnamed facility. The move
comes on the eve of the biggest ght of the
year for his promotion company in a ght
expected to be one of the richest in boxing
history.
I will not be at the ght this Saturday to
cheer Canelo to victory since I have volun-
tarily admitted myself into a treatment facil-
i t y, De La Hoya said in his statement. I
explained this to Canelo and he understood
that my health and long term recovery from

mistakes in half, which made them much
tougher to beat. Santa Teresa, which made
14 errors of its own in Game 1, couldnt do
much better in Game 2, nishing with 10
errors.
Aragon, meanwhile, dominated the game.
Once the Saints cut their decit to 10-8,
they managed to win only ve more points
the rest of the way as Aragons serving came
to the forefront. The Dons nished with 10
aces for the match, ve of which came in
Game 2.
Game 3 was close for a while before the
Dons pulled away. Santa Teresa led 14-9
before the Dons ripped off six unanswered
points to take a 15-14 lead.
An Aragon serve into the net only briey
detoured the Dons efforts as they went on
win four more points in a row for a 20-15
advantage. Santa Teresa managed only three
more points the rest of the way all com-
ing on Aragon errors.
We have a really young team, Stiles
said, pointing out she had two freshmen,
ve sophomores and ve juniors on the
team.
But that excuse stops here.
Tuesdays match allowed Stiles to get her
entire team involved in the match as she
continues to evaluate the squad. A dozen
Dons nished with at least one kill, led by
Miranda Taylors eight. Mel Moore added
ve, while Anna Joshni, Sarah Moore and
Miranda Brinkley each added four kills
apiece.
Taylor appears to be the Dons go-to
attacker this year and Stiles expects big
things from her. Taylor got off to a good
start with ve kills in the rst set, but she
struggled in Game 2. So much so Stiles sat
her down and had a little chat with her out-
side hitter.
The pep talk paid off as Taylor had three
thunderous kills in Game 3.
Shes had a slump since we came into
season, Stiles said, adding Taylor was her
club teams top gun that competed in the
Junior Olympics this past summer.
I just had to tell her to play her game.

with syndicate CEO Russell Coutts,
who won the first two of his four
Americas Cups as skipper of Team
New Zealand in 1995 and 2000.
Spithill declined to recap that con-
versation.
Oh, we were just talking about
rugby, weather, Spithill cracked. No,
I cant, actually. Id love to tell you, I
really would. But no.
Asked how safe he feels, the
Australian said: You can be a rooster
one day and a feather duster the next,
mate.
Its unlikely Spithill would get the
boot. Early speculation was that tacti-
cian John Kostecki, a San Francisco
native, could get subbed out.
Spithill was asked if Kostecki would
be on the boat Thursday, when Races 6
and 7 are scheduled.
I cant guarantee anything, he
said. I probably cant guarantee Ill be
on there. Its too early to make a deci-
sion right now. Its really part of the
reason why we played the card. We need
time to assess our program and the
boat. We need to get it heading in the
other direction. Weve got time, fortu-
nately. There are a lot of races left.
Kostecki usually attends post-race
news conference with Spithill. On
Tuesday, rising star Tom Slingsby, a
gold medalist for Australia at the
London Olympics and a strategist and
grinder for Oracle, accompanied the
skipper.
Spithill said he was just rotating
things around and it was too early to
say whether Kostecki would be
replaced.
Coutts said in a text to the
Associated Press that he didnt think
replacing Kostecki was an option.
But we might look at other
options, Coutts said.
Kiwi skipper Dean Barker seemed a
bit stunned when Team New Zealand
was told Oracle was playing its card.
Oracle just pulled the pin, boys, he
told his crew. Is that 100 percent?
It was.

650-354-1100
by
Zaldivar and Kelly Dwyer (Terra
Nova). The trio will fuel a new
approach to defense one that
shifts from a lot of zone to a more
aggressive style in 2013.
This year is a lot more pressing
defenses, Wright said. This year,
I have three or four girls [on the
bench] that are ready to go.
Theyre hungry for minutes. So,
lets increase our aggressive play
and really press down and force
turnovers. Limit the shots. Now,
its game on. Lets force
turnovers. Lets get steals. And
lets team counter. Were com-
pletely different. Were complete-
ly changed. And the change
absolutely ts the personnel.
All three sophomores provide
Wright with consistent play
with Zaldivar being the most reli-
able of the trio. You get what you
get with Jasmine, Wright said,
and thats a very high level of
play.
Wright said Dwyer has grown a
lot over the offseason focusing
a lot more on the mental aspect of
her game and building her con-
dence.
Whatll be important for this
trio is having one step up and pro-
vide the leadership that Oto and
Kekuewa provided last year.
Im the leader right now,
Wright said. Until I can identify a
player and see if they have those
leadership qualities, its going to
be my way. Were going with a
very systematic approach on
offense because we havent played
together, and a lot of them havent
played at this level. I dont want
the freedom at this point. I want
things to be a little more step by
step.
The step by step approach
comes from seven freshman on
this years team. The most prom-
ising of the group is Shelby
Chung from Sonora. Shes the
real deal, Wright said. She can
score. She has great goal aware-
ness. He added that Chung has the
potential to be one of the best
players in the conference.
Chung highlights a new class
that consists of great raw talent in
players like Melissa Chatelain
(Sequoia), Kaila Clark (Half Moon
Bay) and Kacee Johnson.
But the most important is prob-
ably Ashley Mullany (Terra Nova),
who takes over for Kekuewa in
goal.
When you have two years of
All-NorCal, All-American goalie,
it really makes you jaded on the
type of analysis you give to your
freshman goalie, Wright said,
adding hes had to redirect his cen-
tral defense and be more aggres-
sive on the perimeter to try and
limit quality shots on goal.
CSM jumps into the pool next
Tuesday with a huge match right
out of the chute. Theyll take on
Delta before facing Modesto at the
West Valley tournament. The
matches are big as far as postsea-
son implications are concerned. If
there a tie at the end of the year,
head-to-head results is the first
tiebreaker Modesto and Delta
play in the Big 8 conference.

Twins slow down As, 4-3
Giants blow six-run lead
MINNEAPOLIS Josh
Willingham hit two home runs,
including a two-run shot in the
eighth that put the Twins in front for
good, to lead Minnesota past the
Oakland Athletics 4-3 Tuesday night.
Oswaldo Arcia also homered for the
Twins, who snapped Oaklands three-
game winning streak and prevented
the As from stretching their two-
game lead over Texas in the ALWest.
They also spoiled a solid outing by
As starter Jarrod Parker, who tossed
six strong innings and stretched his
unbeaten streak to 19 starts.
Despite giving up homers to
Willingham and Arcia, Parker
appeared to be on the verge of earn-
ing his 12th win. But Arcia singled
off reliever Sean Doolittle to lead off
the eighth. Doolittle struck out Ryan
Doumit before being pulled for Ryan
Cook (6-4), and Willingham fol-
lowed by launching a 2-0 pitch an
estimated 439 feet into the middle
deck for his second multi-homer
game this season.
Anthony Swarzak (2-2) pitched a
scoreless eighth to pick up the win
on his 28th birthday, and Glen
Perkins pitched the ninth for his
34th save in 38 chances.
Twins starter Liam Hendriks
worked 5 1-3 innings and matched
his career high with six strikeouts.
He had a one-run lead for most of
those innings thanks to
Willinghams second-inning solo
shot. But Alberto Callaspo sent a 1-1
pitch 384 feet into the right-eld
seats after Hendriks hit Yoenis
Cespedes to lead off the fth and give
the As a 2-1 lead.
Hendriks hit another batter,
Brandon Moss, the next inning and
Cespedes followed with a run-scor-
ing single to put Oakland up 3-1.
Parker nally got into trouble in
the sixth after Arcia led off with a
monster homer to right. Three of
Minnesotas next four batters
reached to load the bases for Pedro
Florimon.
But after a meeting on the mound,
As manager Bob Melvin elected to
leave Parker in the game, and the 24-
year-old righty induced Florimon
into a double play to end the threat.

SAN FRANCISCO Michael
Cuddyer hit a tiebreaking homer
leading off the ninth inning to go
with his three-run shot, and the
Colorado Rockies rallied from an
early six-run decit to beat the San
Francisco Giants 9-8 on Tuesday
night.
Cuddyer sent a 3-2 pitch from
Sergio Romo into the left-center
seats for his 20th homer of the sea-
son, 10th career multihomer game
and second this year. He also con-
nected in Colorados ve-run fth
to spark the comeback.
Hunter Pence produced some
impressive slugging himself, hit-
ting a three-run homer in the rst,
an RBI double in the fourth and a
tying, two-run single in the eighth
against winner Wilton Lopez (3-4).
Pence matched his career high
with six RBIs. He also drove in six
runs on Aug. 12, 2009, at Florida
with Houston.
Sergio Romo (4-7) gave up
Cuddyers go-ahead homer, though
much of the sellout crowd of 41,171
was already long gone by the late
innings. The game ended at 11:17
p.m. after 4 hours, 2 minutes.
Rex Brothers nished for his
16th save in 18 chances to end the
longest nine-inning game of the
season for each club.

FOOD 17
By W. Wayt Gibbs
When you head off to the shore, the woods,
or a tailgate party at the stadium, you dont
have to settle for preservative-lled hot dogs
or overcooked burgers.
Live a little, and take along a few inch-
thick strip steaks, or maybe some fresh
salmon or chicken llets. Rest easy, because
cooking the meat to perfection will be a
snap. And the best tool for the job is the very
container youll use to carry the food: a big,
insulated ice chest. Youll also want to pack a
digital thermometer and a blowtorch, if
you have one.
When relaxing outdoors, were in no hurry.
But cooking over the intense heat of a re or
grill is unforgiving; time things wrong by
just a minute or two, and the window of
opportunity for a perfectly medium-rare steak
or a just-done salmon llet will have closed.
As long as you have plenty of water and a
way to heat it, however, you have a better
alternative: transform that insulated cooler
from an improvised fridge into an improvised
hot water bath for cooking your food. Then
you can cook your meat the way high-end
chefs do, or sous vide, as they say in the
restaurant world.
I realize that this idea strikes some people
as funky, but its simple. Heres how it works.
You ll the cooler with hot water. You place
your meat in a sealed plastic bag. Add the
bagged meat to the cooler, then walk away.
The hot water slowly, evenly, perfectly
cooks the meat to your desired doneness.
First, a few guidelines. The cooler and meat
should be warmed to room temperature before
you start. To maintain the temperature during
cooking, plan on using about 8 quarts of
water per steak or llet, and dump in water
that is a good 15 F warmer than the nal tem-
perature you want the center of the meat to
achieve. The recipe below lists nal target
temperatures for several good options.
During the entire cooking time, the food
stays safely sealed in plastic bags, which
lock in the cooking juices and keep out the
water and anything that might be living on
the walls of the ice chest.
Though the meat will take longer to cook
in the bath than it would on the grill, that
gives you time to hang out with friends and
family. And as long as you dont use water
that is too hot, it is almost impossible to
overcook the food. Just make sure, for safe-
tys sake, that you use whole cuts (no ground
meat, such as hamburger or sausage) and that
the food gets eaten within four hours of put-
ting it into the water.
No matter how hot the water is, it wont
sear the meat. Thats where the blowtorch
comes in. Torches fueled by MAP or propy-
lene gas burn more cleanly than those that
run on butane or propane. Sweep the tip of
the ame across the surface of the meat in
quick, even strokes until an appetizing
brown crust forms. The interior will still be
done to perfection, virtually edge to edge.
Season with some aky salt and melted but-
ter, and youll completely forget that youre
roughing it.
COOKING MEAT
SOUS VIDE IN A COOLER
If you have time to brine the salmon in
advance, you can refrigerate it for 3 to 5 hours
in a mixture of 4 1/4 cups water, 4 1/2 table-
spoons salt and 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar.
Start to nish: 1/2 to 1 1/2 hours (varies
depending on thickness and variety of meat)
Servings:
Two 1.1-pound (500 grams) beef strip
steaks
OR
2.2 pounds (1 kilogram) boneless chicken
breast
OR
2.2 pounds (1 kilogram) llets of salmon,
halibut or black cod
1 1/2 tablespoons cooking oil
2 tablespoons butter
Flaked sea salt
Drain and wipe down a large, insulated
cooler, then let it come to room temperature.
Bring the meat to room temperature as well.
Select a target nal temperature for the
meat.
For beef strip or rib-eye steak 144 F for
medium, 133 F for medium-rare, 129 F for rare
For beef let 144 F for medium, 127 F
for medium-rare, 122 for rare
For chicken breast 140 F for medium,
and hold at this temperature for at least 20
minutes to pasteurize
Salmon llet 113 F for rare, 126 F for
rm
Once you select your target nal tempera-
ture, add 15 F to that. This is the temperature
to which you must heat your water. For exam-
ple, to cook a beef strip steak medium rare
(133 F), the water should be heated to 15 F
above that, or 148 F. Heat 8 quarts of water
per piece of meat to the temperature you cal-
culated, dump it into the cooler, and close the
lid tightly.
Wash your hands well with soap. Place each
steak, breast or llet in an individual zip-
close plastic bag. Add about 1 tablespoon of
cooking oil to each bag.
It is important to remove as much air as
possible from each bag so that it does not
oat and the water can transmit heat to every
part of the food. Before sealing the bags,
open the cooler. One at a time, hold each bag
For precision cooking fire up the ... cooler?
Fill a cooler with hot water, place your meat in a sealed plastic bag, adddd the bagged meat
to the cooler and then walk away.The hot water slowly,evenly,perfectly cooks the meat to your
desired doneness.

by its open end and slowly lower it into the
water until the water level is just below the
seal. The water will push the air out of the
bag.
Seal the bag tightly. The sealed bag should
sink. Repeat with the remaining bags of
food. Space the food in the bottom of the
cooler so that water can circulate easily
around each bag.
Close the cooler lid rmly, and cook until
the meat warms to the target temperature.
Expect inch-thick steaks to reach medium-
rare in 50 to 60 minutes; salmon llets of
that thickness may take only 20 minutes.
Chicken breast may reach 140 F in 30 to 40
minutes, but must be held at that temperature
or higher for at least 20 minutes more in
order to pasteurize them.
Remove the meat from the bags and place
it on a rack or baking sheet. If you want to
sear the surface of the meat, sweep the ame
of a blowtorch over each side in a series of
quick, even passes, or place it on a very hot
grill until browned.
Season generously with salt and serve
immediately.

teristic drop in HCSD STAR performance in
a math section below the state benchmark,
the current curriculum emphasizes math
with class time at 65 minutes each day. This
enhances problem-solving strategies by
students and collaboration among teachers
for students mastery of concepts and appli-
cations.
What changes would you like to see
at the board level?
Lynne Essel st ei n: We have an excel-
lent board right now and have prepared a
solid foundation for integrating new mem-
bers in November. Recently, we took time
to review, update and publically adopt our
governance norms, reafrming the values of
transparency, communication, integrity,
respect and teamwork that we rely on to
work well together.
Don Geddis: Much board activity, by
necessity, focuses on budgets, regulations
and personnel. I would like additional board
effort on an overall educational vision.
Fortunately the district has recently begun a
strategic planning process, to which Im
eager to contribute my strengths.
Kaarin Hardy: Over the last four years,
the board focused on a balanced budget in a
difcult economy. The board spent consid-
erable time with budget cuts and personnel
issues. The upcoming strategic planning
initiative will allow the board to more
deeply consider our future and our communi-
tys commitment to excellence in educa-
tion.
Pearl Wu: As an avid parent volunteer for
my three childrens classes, and as a sea-
soned physician leader and community
health advocate, I add insight, leadership
skills on innovation, high IQ /EQ and mul-
ticultural elements to the school board. My
focus is on transparency and accountability
for superior performance on the board.
Do you feel there is an appropri ate
amount of high-tech learning?
Lynne Essel st ei n: Technology is a
tool; it cannot replace good teaching. It can
enhance content learning and critical think-
ing, but its not an end in itself. We know
more technology is coming to the class-
room. Dening the appropriate amount is
something I look forward to exploring with
the community during HCSD Forward.
Don Geddi s: Hillsborough already
incorporates a signicant amount of tech-
nology into the existing curriculum.
Improvement is always possible, but the
current offerings are strong. There are smart
boards in every classroom, and extensive
technology in the Innovation Labs. I would
have computers help more in areas such as
rote memorization.
Kaarin Hardy: Yes but we can always
do more. Our curriculum incorporates robot-
ics and innovation labs at the elementary
level and our middle school students produce
a daily news show in our state-of-the-art stu-
dio. As we adopt the [Common] Core cur-
riculum, we will need to invest further in
how our children use technology.
Pearl Wu: Plenty of high-tech learning
occurs at the Hillsborough schools that
stimulate the students love of learning.
From the smart boards to computer labs for
kindergartners to play with geometric
shapes, to the Crocker eighth graders sub-
stantial Web/YouTube researches on their
Share projects, high-tech learning comes
alive in a thriving community.
DISTRICT
If [equal benets] is a value the county
has then thats a value the county has,
Horsley said. I dont care if it is a problem
in other states.
Horsley said if the U.S. military must now
offer the benets regardless of state law, the
same can be true for companies employed
by San Mateo County.
Ultimately, a review of the Workday con-
tract showed the company will offer equal
benets except where prohibited by local
law.
But while the potentially discriminatory
situation with Pleasanton-based Workday
was remedied, the supervisors said they need
to be prepared for future issues that could
arise out of doing business beyond the
countys borders. The Workday contract
involves software in the cloud which means
assigned employees could be located in
states or countries that do not favor or
even outright ban benets to same-sex
partners.
Supervisor Adrienne Tissier said the coun-
ty must walk a tough ne line because it
cant tell a global company what to do with-
out risking removal from the entire cloud
market.
So does the county stay in the Dark
Ages? Tissier asked.
Horsley and County Manager John
Maltbie said it would be unusual for a state
to interfere with a private companys busi-
ness, including benet policies.
Workday representative Seth Catalli said
the company has no intention of not offer-
ing the benets where it can but that, for
example, in Virginia where its attorney
lives, the state is asking state universities
and colleges to stop guaranteeing equal
treatment. Catalli also pointed to recent
refusals by the National Guard in some
states to abide by the federal law change.
Workday couldnt point out specic states
where such a state ban is in place but said
within the ve years of the contract the
political climate could lead to changes.
Aside from the concerns over benets, the
contract received praise from county super-
visors who appreciated it as a pilot program
for the countys reorganization into a so-
called agile workforce.
The existing system is 20-plus years old
and has done an admirable job but is due
for replacement with an integrated plan that
uses newer technology to prevent large
peaks and valleys of modernization
between the pieces, said Jon Walton, the
countys chief information technology of-
cer.
Nine of the countys current custom-built
systems are so old they are no longer sup-
ported.
Walton said the cloud system also pro-
tects it from loss in case of a local disaster.
Full implementation is expected to take
two years and cost $13.96 million. The
price tag includes up to $3.8 million for
subscription to Workday, professional serv-
ices up to $4.4 million and $177,680 for
training on the new system. Funding will
come from a combination of payroll
reserves that have been set aside for years
and non-department reserves, according to
Maltbie.
After three years, the annual subscription
cost is estimated at $851,000, said project
manager Mike Murphy.
UPGRADE
versitys rst signicant foray outside its
main campus. The project will carry numer-
ous community benets from $260 million
in ancillary spending on top of a $15 mil-
lion development deal to underground power
lines and establish a shuttle to Caltrain, the
ofcials said.
The development is projected out 30 years
but essentially calls for replacing the for-
mer Excite@Home campus at Mid-
Technology Park with up to 1.518 million
square feet of building spaces and approxi-
mately 4,500 parking spaces. The existing
eight ofce and research and development
buildings will be demolished to make way
for a medical clinic and ofces.
As work goes forward on the 35-acre cam-
pus bisected by Broadway and bound in part
by Highway 101, Councilwoman Rosanne
Foust said the city needs to be defensive in
communicating its needs to the university
and the community especially neighboring
Friendly Acres, Redwood Village and North
Fair Oaks.
Although the council is happy about the
potential financial benefits to Redwood
City, Councilman Jeff Ira said its important
to move beyond the money and create
something priceless with Stanford.
Without naming a specic entity, Ira said
the city is home to at least one company
that has little ties and makes no effort with-
in the community. Stanford, he said, is dif-
ferent.
We do have a corporate citizen coming to
Redwood City that is going to be a true part-
ner for many years to come, Ira said.
Community Development Director Bill
Ekern said Redwood City has become a
premier entertainment destination and
project-related improvements like a street
car on Broadway will add to the existing
draws. Programs through the graduate
business school will also benefit the resi-
dents.
More information on both, along with an
outline for the process of penciling out the
community funding allocations, will come
back to the City Council at a future meeting,
City Manager Bob Bell said.

FOOD 19
By Alison Ladman
As satisfying as it is to eat freshly
picked apples straight up and
unadorned, the chill of fall makes it
equally tempting to head back to the
kitchen and bake them into a pie.
But thats where most people get
tripped up. They fear a fussy pie crust.
They loath a long baking time or a per-
snickety lling. So we decided to come
up with an easy apple tart that uses a
fuss-free crust and comes together in
under an hour. Even better because
the lling is only gently cooked on
the stovetop, the apples retain more of
their crisp, fresh, just-picked avor.
EASY AUTUMN APPLE TART
Start to nish: 1 hour
Servings: 12
14 tablespoons (1 3/4 sticks)
unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1 3/4 cups all-purpose our
4 apples, peeled, cored and sliced
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup apple cider
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
Heat the oven to 400 F. Coat an 11-
inch removable bottom tart pan with
baking spray.
In a food processor, combine the
butter, sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of the
salt. Pulse several times. Add the our
and pulse to combine, scraping down
the sides of the work bowl as needed.
Transfer the dough to the prepared pan.
Press the dough evenly across the bot-
tom and up the sides of the pan. Poke
the bottom all over with a fork. Bake
for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden
brown.
While the crust bakes, make the l l-
ing. In a large skillet over medium-
high heat, combine the apples, vine-
gar, brown sugar, cider, cinnamon and
the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Cook, gently stirring to promote even
cooking but without breaking the
apples, until just tender, about 10 to
12 minutes.
In a small glass, mix together the
cornstarch and water. Add to the apples
and cook, stirring gently, for 2 min-
utes, or until thickened.
When the crust and apples are
cooked, spoon the apples into the
crust, arranging them in concentric
circles if desired. Pour any extra juices
over the surface of the apples. Serve
warm or room temperature.

Former Greenbrier chef
stars in Recipe Rehab
By Vicki Smith
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. Hes competed in the culinary
Olympics, led a team at a global cooking competition in
France and produced countless photo-wor-
thy dishes for guests at southern West
Virginias world-class resort, The
Greenbrier.
But Richard Rosendale, one of TVs
newest celebrity chefs, says his greatest
challenges come on the set of Recipe
Rehab, a Saturday morning show that
begins airing Sept. 28 on CBS.
On the show, families submit a favorite
high-calorie recipe. Two chefs then com-
pete to crank out healthier, lower-calorie
versions and make them easy for amateurs to duplicate.
Some of the recipes taste really good, but theyre laden
with fat and sugar and sodium and calories, Rosendale said.
Every recipe that was on the show, it was like, Yikes! This
is going to be interesting.
Rosendale, U.S. captain for the international competition
Bocuse dOr in France earlier this year, faces off against
California chef Vikki Krinsky throughout 11 episodes.
Though I have a lot of competition experience, shes an
expert in nutrition. And here I am cooking with butter,
Rosendale said. But it was an even playing eld.
They shot four episodes a day, a pace requiring snap deci-
sions on how to rehabilitate a meal.
The importance of his work was never lost on Rosendale,
a native of Uniontown, Pa., who worked in Pittsburgh before
opening a restaurant in Columbus, Ohio. In 2009, the now-
38-year-old father of two boys moved to Lewisburg in south-
ern West Virginia a state struggling with an obesity epi-
demic.
In the 2011-12 school year, nearly 28 percent of fth-
graders screened by West Virginia University were consid-
ered obese. So are nearly one-third of West Virginia adults,
according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
There are a lot of great cooking shows out there that are
entertaining, Rosendale said. But if I can do something
thats also going to serve a purpose, I want to do that.
Nationwide, more than 23 million children and teenagers
are considered overweight or obese, and Illinois-based
Action for Healthy Kids says the numbers are trending in a
scary direction.
If childhood obesity isnt curbed, said spokesman
Matthew Smith, 39 states can expect that more than 50 per-
cent of their adult population will be obese by 2030. And
studies show that children are more sedentary than ever,
spending hours a day on TV, computers, tablets and phones.
But TV can still pay a role and does play a role in educa-
tion, Smith said. Any way we can get a message out that
talks about healthy eating, about balanced eating, about
active lifestyles ... is a positive.
Rosendale pointed out that many cooking shows focus on
dishes beyond either the imagination or skill set of a typical
TV viewer. So rather than come up with dishes that people
probably arent going to eat, he said, why not recreate
what people are already eating?

The speech capped a frenzied 10-day
stretch of events that began when he
unexpectedly announced he was step-
ping back from a threatened military
strike and instead asking Congress rst
to pass legislation authorizing the use
of such force against Assad.
With public opinion polls consis-
tently showing widespread opposition
to American military intervention, the
White House has struggled mightily to
generate support among lawmakers
liberal Democrats and conservative
Republicans alike who have
expressed fears of involvement in yet
another war in the Middle East and have
questioned whether U.S. national secu-
rity interests were at stake in Syria.
Obama had trouble, as well, building
international support for a military
attack designed to degrade Assads mil-
itary.
Suddenly, though, events took
another unexpected turn this week.
First Russia and then Syria reacted pos-
itively to a remark from Secretary of
State John Kerry indicating that the
crisis could be defused if Damascus
agreed to put its chemical weapons
under international control.
The president said he was sending
Kerry to meet with Russian Foreign
Minister Sergey Lavrov on Thursday,
and he added, I will continue my own
discussion with Russian President
Vladimir Putin, with whom he has said
he had been discussing ways out of the
Syrian predicament for some time.
At the same time, he said the United
States and its allies would work with
Russia and China to present a resolu-
tion to the United Nations Security
Council requiring Assad to give up his
chemical weapons and to ultimately
destroy them under international con-
trol.
Acknowledging the weariness the
nation feels after a decade of war in Iraq
and Afghanistan, Obama said,
America is not the worlds police-
man.
And yet, he added, When with mod-
est effort and risk we can stop children
from being gassed to death and thereby
make our own children safer over the
long run, I believe we should act.
Thats what makes America different.
Thats what makes us exceptional.
Our ideals and principles, as well as
our national security, are at stake in
Syria, along with our leadership of a
world where we seek to ensure that the
worst weapons will never be used, he
declared.
Obama recounted the events of the
deadly chemical weapons attack on
Aug. 21 that the United States blames
on Assad.
When dictators commit atrocities,
they depend upon the world to look the
other way until these horrifying pic-
tures fade from memory. But these
things happened. The facts cannot be
denied, he said.
The president said rmly that Assads
alleged attack was not only a viola-
tion of international law, its also a
danger to our security.
If diplomacy now fails and the United
States fails to act, he said, the Assad
regime will see no reason to stop using
chemical weapons and other tyrants
will have no reason to think twice
about acquiring poison gas and using
it. Over time, he added, U.S. troops
could face the threat of chemical war-
fare, and if ghting escapes Syrias
border, these weapons could threaten
allies like Turkey, Jordan and Israel.
In the run-up to the presidents
speech, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel
pointedly told a congressional hearing
it was not time to let the threat of mili-
tary retaliation lapse. For this diplo-
matic option to have a chance at suc-
ceeding, the threat of a U.S. military
action, the credible, real threat of U.S.
military action, must continue, he
declared.
At the same hearing, Kerry said any
diplomacy cannot be a process of
delay. This cannot be a process of
avoidance.
He later added that any agreement
must include binding consequences if
Syria fails to comply, and lawmakers
moved to rewrite pending legislation
along the same lines.
The president readied his speech as a
small crowd of anti-war protesters,
some waving signs, gathered outside
the gates of the White House.
U.S. ofcials say more than 1,400
died in the Aug. 21 episode, including
at least 400 children, and other victims
suffered uncontrollable twitching,
foaming at the mouth and other symp-
toms typical of exposure to chemical
weapons banned by international
treaty.
OBAMA
The site currently is home to the
Spirit Halloween store, which was
granted a business tax certicate to
operate there now while the city con-
sidered an appeal from property owner
1998 Books Holdings LLC.
The company may now appeal the
decision, however, to the City
Council.
Commissioners made it clear though
that they do not want Michaels to
leave the city.
Its lease at 1750 Delaware St. will be
terminated at the end of 2014 as the
property, that also is home to Kmart,
will be transformed in the next decade
into a mixed-used transit-oriented-
development called Station Park
Green.
We dont want Michaels to leave
San Mateo and I dont want to see a
vacant store for 15 years. I hope the
property owner can bring back a new
application that ts with the corridor
plan, said Dianne Whitaker, the com-
missions chair.
The Borders, across from the
Hillsdale Shopping Center, closed in
2011.
Michaels plan to occupy the site
with 25,000 square feet of retail does
not t in with the citys future vision
for the area near the Caltrain station as
it is not neighborhood serving, city
staff determined.
Lawyers for the property owner,
however, said they had differing views
than city staff over the term occupan-
cy. Staff determined since the site was
not open to retail sales for the six
months that its legal non-conforming
use had been lost despite the property
owners contention that the site was
occupied and being prepared for retail
sales during that span.
Staff equates use and occupancy
as meaning open for business but it
doesnt say that anywhere in the
code, said attorney Linda Bernhardt,
who represents the property owner.
1998 Books Holdings LLC actually
led a lawsuit against the city chal-
lenging its zoning rules but dropped it
leading up to last nights decision.
The city had objected to the compa-
nys lawsuit because it had not
appealed administratively a decision
by city staff to deny issuance of a busi-
ness tax certicate.
The company may now appeal to the
City Council to try and get the deci-
sion overturned.
The city changed its zoning rules
regarding the area around the Hillsdale
Caltrain station in May 2011, when an
ordinance passed that put the property
into the citys Rail Corridor Transit-
Oriented Development Plan.
The current Michaels store is
approximately 30,000 square feet as is
the Borders site, which has been sub-
leased in recent years by the Spirit
Halloween Store for a few months a
year.
Michaels needs at least 21,000
square feet of space to be protable and
wants to stay in the neighborhood,
said attorneys with DLA Piper, LLP,
which represented 1998 Books
Holdings LLC during its appeal of the
citys zoning rules last night.
Afew of the stores loyal customers
made a case for Michaels move last
night by saying it was neighborhood
serving. Company ofcials said the
average customer spends just $20 a
visit and carries out only small bags of
goods.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Nida Corpus Patalot
Case Number: 123661
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: NIDA CORPUS PATA-
LOT. A Petition for Probate has been
filed by DANILO C. PATALOT, SR. in the
Superior Court of California, County of
San Mateo. The Petition for Probate re-
quests that DANILO C. PATALOT, SR.
be appointed as personal representative
to administer the estate of the decedent.
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: September 30,
2013 at 9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal qutho-
ity may affect your rights as a creditor.
You may want to consult with an attorney
knowledgeable in California law.
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-

FDA: Roche drug works
in early-stage breast cancer
WASHINGTON The Food and Drug
Administration has issued a positive review
of a breast cancer drug from Roche that could
soon become the first pharmaceutical
option approved for treating early-stage
disease before surgery.
In documents posted online, FDA scien-
tists said women who received the drug
Perjeta as initial treatment for breast cancer
were more likely to be cancer-free at the
time of surgery than women who received
older drug combinations. Although the
results come from mid-stage trials of the
drug, FDA scientists recommended acceler-
ating approval of the drug.
That step is reserved for groundbreaking
drugs to treat life-threatening diseases.
Perjeta was rst approved last summer to
treat women with a subtype of breast cancer
that has already spread to other parts of the
body. But Roches Genentech unit is now
seeking approval to use the drug at a much
earlier stage of the disease: after diagnosis
and before surgery to remove the tumor.
Around the nation
By Paul Elias
SAN FRANCISCO U.S. ofcials for
nearly three years accessed data on thou-
sands of domestic phone numbers they
shouldnt have and then misrepresented
their actions to a secret spy court to reau-
thorize the governments surveillance pro-
gram, documents released Tuesday show.
The governments explanation points to
an enormous surveillance infrastructure
with such incredible power that even the
National Security Agency doesnt fully
know how to properly use it: Ofcials told a
judge in 2009 that the system is so large
and complicated that there was no single
person who had a complete technical under-
standing of it.
The documents, which the Obama admin-
istration was compelled to release as part of
a lawsuit by a civil liberties group, show
that National Security Agency analysts rou-
tinely exceeded their mission to track only
phone numbers with reasonable connec-
tions to terrorism.
Ofcials said that the complexity of the
computer system and a misunderstanding
of the laws, court orders and internal poli-
cies controlling analysts actions con-
tributed to the abuses. Theres no evidence
that the NSA intentionally used its surveil-
lance powers to spy on Americans for polit-
ical purposes, a fear of many critics who
recall the FBIs intrusive surveillance of
civil rights leaders and protesters in the
1960s.
The documents released today are a testa-
ment to the governments strong commit-
ment to detecting, correcting and reporting
mistakes that occur in implementing tech-
nologically complex intelligence collec-
tion activities, and to continually improv-
ing its oversight and compliance process-
es, said Director of National Intelligence
James Clapper. As demonstrated in these
documents, once compliance incidents were
discovered in the telephony metadata col-
lection program, additional checks, bal-
ances and safeguards were developed to help
prevent future instances of noncompli-
ance.
The Obama administration had conceded
earlier that, when it secretly began gather-
ing Americans phone and Internet records
in 2006, it scooped up more domestic
phone calls and emails than Congress or a
court authorized. But many details of the
programs abuse were not known until
Tuesday.
Docs: Officials misused U.S. surveillance program
By Ryan Lucas and Lori Hinnant
BEIRUT A Russian plan for Syria to
turn over its chemical weapons to avert
Western missile strikes bogged down
Tuesday when Moscow rejected U.S. and
French demands for a binding U.N. resolu-
tion with very severe consequences for
non-compliance.
The surprise Russian proposal, which
Syria and the United States both accepted,
would put President Bashar Assads regimes
chemical stockpile under international con-
trol before its eventual dismantling. The
initiative also cautiously endorsed by
Britain and France appeared to offer a
way out of a crisis that raised the prospect
of U.S.-led military action against Syria in
retaliation for an alleged chemical weapons
attack last month.
But the plan ran aground as the world
powers haggled over the crucial element of
how to enforce it. Wary of falling into what
the French foreign minister called a trap,
Paris and Washington are pushing for a
U.N. Security Council resolution to verify
Syrias disarmament. Russia, a close Assad
ally and the regimes chief patron on the
international stage, dismissed Frances pro-
posal as unacceptable.
The dizzying diplomatic maneuvering
threatened what had been growing momen-
tum toward a plan that would allow President
Barack Obama to back away from military
action. Domestic support for a strike is
uncertain in the United States, even as
Obama seeks Congress backing for action
and there has been little international
appetite to join forces against Assad.
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-
Moallem said early Tuesday during a trip to
Moscow that Damascus agreed to the
Russian initiative as it should thwart the
U.S. aggression against our country.
Before departing Moscow in the evening,
al-Moallem told Lebanons Al-Mayadeen
TV that Syria would place its chemical
weapons locations in the hands of represen-
tatives of Russia, other unspecied coun-
tries and the United Nations. Syria will also
declare the chemical arsenal it long denied
having, stop producing such weapons and
sign conventions against them.
Question of enforcement casts cloud on Syria plan
