The long search for a new alter-
native high school and district
office site has landed in
Burlingame, at an ofce building
just east of Highway 101, but of-
cials are expressing concern about
its use, zoning and impact on the
city.
If the school [district] buys the
building, we have no say in the
use of building, said Councilman
Jerry Deal. The concern I wanted
to bring up is that what do we want
over in that area? From the get-go,
weve been against putting a
school over there because there are
no public services over there or
housing. Wheres the police or re
stations? It also takes away space
for potential hotels and other
businesses.
San Mateo Union High School
District ofcials have been active-
ly looking for a new Peninsula
High School location for about a
year. The school is currently
housed at aging facilities on the
campus of the former Crestmoor
High School in San Bruno.
Additionally, ofcials have been
seeking a site for new district
ofces, which are also outdated.
Peninsula High School students
seek out the alternative school for
a variety of reasons, one of which
may be the need for a new environ-
ment. One option, locating the
school on the San Mateo High
School campus, drew criticism by
some in the community and con-
cern by some law enforcement
ofcials. While another option is
renovating the current location, it

This fall marks year two of
Californias transitional kinder-
garten program.
Transitional kindergarten is a
new grade serving younger stu-
dents with birthdays between
September and December, estab-
lished under the states
Kindergarten Readiness Act of
2010 that changed the kinder-
garten entry date so that children
enter kindergarten at age 5.
Students arent required to start
school until age 6.
This year, more than 80,000 stu-
dents are expected to begin transi-
tional kindergarten statewide, up
from 39,000 last year. During the
2012-13 school year, students had
to be 5 years old by Nov. 1 to start
kindergarten. For this school year,
students need to be 5 by Oct. 1 and
beginning next school year, stu-
dents will need to be 5 by Sept. 1.
In the San Mateo-Foster City
Elementary School District, eight
of the 16 schools have transitional
kindergarten classrooms, with a

CBS, Time Warner reach
TV content agreement
NEWYORK TV network CBS and
cable provider Time Warner Cable
have ended their payment dispute and
expect programming to resume in mil-
lions of homes Monday night.
The agreement ends a monthlong
blackout of CBS and CBS-owned chan-
nels including Showtime Networks,
CBS Sports Network and the
Smithsonian channel that affected
more than three million homes in
Dallas, Los Angeles and New York and
began Aug. 2.
The companies were in dispute about
how much Time Warner Cable Inc.
would pay for CBS Corp. program-
ming. Specic terms of the deal were
not disclosed.
The disagreement comes at a touchy
time for networks and cable compa-
nies as more and more Americans are
turning to alternative ways to watch
TV including online or via Roku
boxes or Apple TV.
The agreement includes retransmis-
sion fees that the cable operator pays
to CBS per subscriber, which had been
a sticking point.
Added pressure was on the two com-
panies to reach an agreement since the
start of football season and the U.S
Open tennis tournament had begun in
New York.
The blackout affected about 1.1 mil-
lion of New Yorks 7.4 million televi-
sion households that get CBS. An esti-
mated 1.3 million of 5.6 million
households in Los Angeles were
blacked out, along with 400,000 of
Dallas 2.6 million TV homes, CBS
said. Those are three of the nations
ve most populous television mar-
kets.
CBS estimates the blackout cuts the
networks national viewership by
about 1 percent.
The talks were being closely
watched beyond these companies and
their customers because of the idea
that a retransmission agreement will
set a precedent for future negotiations
between different networks and cable
or satellite companies. Another point
of contention was the cable operators
access to CBS material for on-demand
or mobile device viewing.
While we certainly didnt get
everything we wanted, ultimately we
ended up in a much better place than
when we started, said Time Warner
Cables CEO Glenn Britt in a state-
ment.
Musician turns 9/11
survivor stories into song
NEW YORK A dozen years after
9/ 11, an American musician has turned
memories of grief into survivor songs
some of them surprisingly joyous.
Composer and pianist Jake Heggie
said Sunday that his new album titled
here/after (songs of lost voices) is
meant to create a sense of hope and
newness that can come from the grief.
Otherwise, the people who did it win.
The singers, including baritone
Nathan Gunn and soprano Talise
Trevigne, tell the stories of 9/11 sur-
vivors from around the country,
expressing feelings about lost loved
ones as they sort belongings left
behind. One set of songs is called
Pieces of 9-11.
Afirefighter from Texas Task Force
1 who had combed through the smok-
ing ground zero rubble says, And
everything belonged to
somebody/To somebody gone/And
we all belonged to each other/From
that moment on.
Songwriter Gene Scheer, a Grammy
award nominee, listened to real people
to nd words for the lyrics.
Adults and children shared some-
times whimsical stories about dead
spouses, fathers and friends even
about the pregnant woman who per-
ished on United Flight 93 that crashed
in a Pennsylvania eld after passen-
gers fought back the terrorists.
Her surviving husband faces the
emotionally tricky questions, in the
words of one song: Whats beyond
your anger? Whats beyond your sor-
row?
The double CD will be released Oct.
21, by PentaTone Classics.
The stories from 9/11 are not static
etched in history, said the compos-
er.

Improving communication between the
school district and the community seems to
be the top priority according to those run-
ning for the Belmont-Redwood Shores
School District Board of Trustees.
The seven hoping to serve on the board
Suvarna Bhopale, Rakesh Hegde, Amy Koo,
Herbert Neuman, Naomi Nishimoto, Kelly
Redmon and incumbent Charles Velschow
visited the Daily Journal ofce last week
for an endorsement interview last week.
Equity between Belmont and Redwood
Shores, the parcel tax, enrollment growth
and contending with new funding and cur-
riculum are core issues right now in the dis-
trict.
Putting out res in the short term, rather
than making calculated long-term deci-
sions, is one of the problems Nishimoto
said she has seen with the current board. A
mistrust of the current board stems from a
lack of communication with the public, Koo
noted. She also said that shed like to see
the board more proactive, versus reactive,
citing the school assignments, which she
felt were dealt with way too last minute.
In terms of balancing the needs of the two
areas the district serves, Velschow said
there cant be this inseparable thing called
the 101, a great education has to be the uni-
fying factor.
Changes on the horizon
The states new Common Core standards
shift to more project-based and team collab-
orative learning, with less time spent on
lectures and more of an emphasis on stu-
dents using technology in classrooms. New
Smarter Balance testing, which aligns with
these new standards, will go into effect dur-
ing the 2014-15 school year.
Bhopale said she doesnt believe the dis-
trict will have enough money from the state
for the infrastructure and professional devel-
opment of the new standards and this will be
one of the major challenges for the district.
Californias Local Control Funding
Formula change was also a big issue. The
goal of the new state funding formula for K-
12 schools is to help boost the academic
achievement of disadvantaged students. The
state budget for the 2013-14 scal year pro-
vides about $55.3 billion in local and state
revenue for K-12 education and two-year
community colleges. Thats an increase of
more than $8 billion over the 2011-12 level
under the states school funding formula
known as Proposition 98.
Im running because of my frustration
with how the district is being governed,
Neuman said. Theres a lack of transparen-
cy and a perfect storm of events are coming
on the horizon, some of which are out of our
control [Common Core and LCFF].
The renewal of two school district parcel
taxes into one measure totaling $174 per
parcel a year is
on the Nov. 5
ballot. All can-
didates, except
for Neuman,
said they were
in favor of the
extension of
the tax. Neuman
said he would
like to know
how the new
funding formula will affect the dis-
tricts budget before deciding on
the parcel tax amount, while others
said determining the implications
of the new formula is just one fac-
tor in the need to retain key local
funding the parcel taxes provide
the district.
The last thing we need to do is
screw over our kids by taking away
funds we already have, Hegde said,
who is one of the campaign co-
chairs of the tax measure. My concern is
decit spending; we need to do a better job
of forecasting whats happening.
Velschow supports the tax renewal and
said the district needs to see the full effects
of the LCFF before asking the community
for a higher tax.
New ideas
The candidates also had ideas for how to
improve the district.
Velschow pitched the Ram scholarship
awards to celebrate students who went

County supervisors may spend
nearly $14 million implementing
an entirely new payroll and human
resources system to replace the
current antiquated software that
County Manager John Maltbie
says cant keep up with ever-
increasing technology and needs.
The Workday system recom-
mended by Maltbie and others
whove been searching for a
replacement operates in the cloud,
is speedy and will save the county
money in the long run, he said.
The new system will also elimi-
nate a lot of paper, reduce process-
ing times and improve security.
The existing setup, known as
the personnel information and
payroll system, is at the end of
its useful life, Maltbie wrote in a
draft report to the Board of
Supervisors which will consider
the recommendation at its Sept.
10 meeting.
The last 25
years with the
existing sys-
tem have been
helped by cus-
tom-built solu-
tions and manu-
al processes but
most dont
communi cat e
with each other and arent well
incorporated.
Actually, Human Resources
Director Donna Vaillancourt said
there are 17 systems with six sep-
arate vendors and nine of the cus-
tom-built ones are no longer sup-
ported.
The lack of support is forcing
the countys decision to pick a
new one, Maltbie said, adding that
the county is due for an update.
The lack of integration causes
many problems such as duplica-
tion of work, increased chance of
errors, inconsistent data defini-
tions, untimely data updates,
increased training costs and added
complexity, Maltbie wrote in an
e-mail to the Daily Journal
In 2009, the county started an
HR needs assessment which
resulted in the replacement recom-
mendation. The information tech-
nology initiative was part of the
countys strategic plan presented
to the board last September.
The Workday system will be
more efcient for both the county
and the employees perspectives,
Vaillancourt said.
On top of its other benefits,
both Vaillancourt and Maltbie said
the Workday system is self-
serve meaning employees and
managers can do more themselves
for example, retrieving person-
al and benefits information
rather than relying on central
staff.
Supervisor Carole Groom is
behind the recommendation, say-
ing the county has got to keep up
with new technology.
If supervisors greenlight the
Workday system, Maltbie said the
county expects full implementa-
tion to take two years to nish and
cost $13.96 million. The price tag
includes up to $3.8 million for
subscription to Workday, profes-
sional services up to $4.4 million
and $177,680 for training on the
new system. The total cost esti-
mate also includes backfilling
county workers assigned full time
to the project, contingency costs
and historic data conversion.
Maltbie said funding will come
from a combination of payroll
reserves that have been set aside
for years and non-department
reserves.
The nal maintenance costs is
still to be determined based on its
nal conguration.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO The new,
$6.4 billion eastern span of the
San Francisco-Oakland Bay
Bridge is being praised as a dra-
matic safety upgrade over its pred-
ecessor and a beautiful example of
public art at its inaugural ceremo-
ny.
There was no public celebration
with tens of thousands of pedestri-
ans and fireworks at Mondays
inaugural. Instead, after years of
delays and cost overruns, the
opening of one of the states most
expensive public works projects
was marked with a relatively low-
key event.
State, federal and local elected
ofcials were among those who
spoke. The event also included a
poem about the bridge by
Californias poet laureate, Juan
Felipe Herrera.
People are tired, but everyones
very excited, bridge spokesman
Andrew Gordon said Monday
morning. Its kind of this last lap
so to speak, the last leg of this
marathon. We are all looking for-
ward to getting to the nish line.
The invitation-only inaugura-
tion was scheduled for 3 p.m.,
with a formal chain cutting cere-
mony 90 minutes later.
Government officials, labor
leaders, survivors of the 1989
earthquake that collapsed two 50-
foot sections of the old eastern
span and people who were alive
when the Bay Bridge rst opened
in 1936 were expected to attend.
Gov. Jerry Brown, who was close-
ly involved in planning the bridge
when he was mayor of Oakland,
did not attend.
The new span and the rest of the
bridge will not immediately be
opened to traffic. It closed on
Wednesday night so crews could
do nal work, and they were still
striping, putting up signs and put-
ting down roadway markers
Monday, Gordon said. Some barri-
er railing also needed to be put up.
The bridge is scheduled to open
to traffic by 5 a.m. Tuesday,
though it could open earlier.
Gordon said a decision will be
made Monday afternoon and could
be announced at the ceremony.
The new section of bridge,
designed to make the span safe
during earthquakes, has been under
construction for almost a decade
and follows years of political
bickering, engineering chal-
lenges and cost overruns. It
replaced a structure that was dam-
aged during the 1989 Loma Prieta
earthquake.
In March, more than two dozen
rods used to anchor the roadway to
important earthquake safety struc-
tures cracked after they were tight-
ened. The discovery threatened to
delay the bridges opening by
months.
The bridge will open with a tem-
porary fix for the broken rods
while the permanent repair,
expected to be completed in
December, is being installed.
Transportation officials
approved the temporary x last
month and voted to open the
bridge as originally planned
around the Labor Day weekend.
But Gordon said on Monday that
there was not enough time for a
public celebration.
Plans for such a celebration
originally called for a bridge walk
with more than 100,000 people,
reworks, a half marathon and a
concert.

launch of a law enforcement social
media network designed exclu-
sively for the men and women in
blue.
Created by former high-prole
New York City police commis-
sioner and Los Angeles Police
Chief Bill Bratton, BlueLine is
being touted as a site where of-
cers can share their expertise,
insight and information securely
through video, instant messag-
ing, videoconferencing and screen
share capabilities.
The network is scheduled to go
live at the International
Association of Police Chiefs
annual conference in Philadelphia
in late October, Bratton said.
Regarded as an international
expert on reducing crime, combat-
ing gang violence and improving
police-community relations,
Bratton said theres been a long-
standing belief that federal, state
and local agencies work closely,
especially since the Sept. 11
attacks.
Thats not entirely true, Bratton
said, adding that he hopes
BlueLine will be another tool to
help bridge the gap. Those who
join will be accredited members of
law enforcement. They also will
be able to create databases, have
PowerPoint meetings and search
for other members via name, top-
ics and interests.
This is a big void that needed
to be lled, Bratton said. Our
intent is to have ofcers locate
their counterparts and closely
interact with each other on a num-
ber of topics such as gangs and
counterterrorism as well as share
their best practices and strate-
gies.
No stranger to meshing technol-
ogy with crime-ghting, Bratton
is widely credited with co-creating
Compstat, the innovative crime-
mapping system used in New
York, Los Angeles and several
other major cities. Compstat uses
computer data to direct police to
specic high-crime areas.
Police in San Francisco credit
the system with helping that city
recently reach near record-low
crime levels.
Bratton said BlueLine was con-
ceived earlier this year and created
by his New York-based venture
capitalist-backed startup, Bratton
Technologies, after hearing for
years that fellow ofcers didnt
have a safe network to share infor-
mation with each other.
BlueLine is currently being
beta-tested among 100 officers
within the Los Angeles Police and
LA County Sheriffs departments
and the University of Southern
Californias campus police.
While initial reports have com-
pared BlueLine to Facebook, com-
pany officials say it will more
closely resemble popular social
media business-oriented sites like
LinkedIn. BlueLine will also
allow companies who sell prod-
ucts geared for law enforcement to
market to the more than 17,000
agencies the network hopes to
lure.
Our focus is to have a walled
community where youre veried
and authenticated, so you have a
safe form of communication with
law enforcement, analysts and
administrators, said David Riker,
Bratton Technologies president.
That wall of security is extreme-
ly important, said longtime Los
Angeles Police Capt. Sean
Malinowski, who has a group of
ofcers testing BlueLine.

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

Funeral Etiquette Advice:
Show Up, Be Brief, Listen

By Jim Kuhnhenn
WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama worked on Monday
to persuade skeptical lawmakers
to endorse a U.S. military inter-
vention in civil war-wracked
Syria, winning conditional sup-
port from two leading Senate for-
eign policy hawks even as he
encountered resistance from mem-
bers of his own party after two
days of a determined push to sell
the plan.
Sens. John McCain of Arizona
and Lindsey Graham of South
Carolina said Obama still needs to
make a strong case for attacking
the regime of President Bashar
Assad, but they toned down past
criticism that the presidents plan
was too weak to change the course
of the ghting in Syria in favor of
the opposition.
We have to make it clear that a
vote against this would be cata-
strophic in its consequences,
now and in future international
crises, McCain told reporters out-
side the White House following an
hour-long private meeting that he
and Graham had with Obama and
White House national security
adviser Susan Rice.
But the outcome of any vote
remained in doubt amid continued
skepticism in a war-weary
Congress. Several Democrats in a
conference call with administra-
tion ofcials pushed back against
military action, questioning both
the intelligence about a chemical
attack last month outside
Damascus and the value of an
intervention to United States
interests, according to aides on
the call. Others demanded narrow-
er authorization than that request-
ed by the administration.
The White House has put for-
ward a proposed bill authorizing
the use of force that, as drafted, is
far too broad and open ended, and
could be used to justify everything
from a limited cruise missile strike
to a no y zone and the introduc-
tion of American ground troops,
said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., a
member of the House intelligence
committee.
Obama has insisted that he will
not send troops into Syria and that
he was considering a military
operation that was limited in dura-
tion and scope. The White House
said Monday that Obama was open
to working with Congress to make
changes to the language of the res-
olution.
In a post on his website,
Democratic Rep. Rick Nolan of
Minnesota reected a view shared
by others: I want you to know
that I am vehemently opposed to a
military strike that would clearly
be an act of war against Syria,
especially under such tragic yet
confusing circumstances as to
who is responsible for the use of
chemical weapons.
After changing course and decid-
ing to seek congressional
approval for military action,
Obama is confronted with one of
his most difcult foreign policy
tests and faces a Congress divided
over an unavoidably tough vote-
of-conscience on overseas con-
ict rather than the more custom-
ary partisan ghts over domestic
policy.
My impression is that a lot of
people are up for grabs, McCain
said.
Following months of rejecting
direct intervention in Syria,
Obama and his aides now want to
strike at the Assad regime in
response to a reported chemical
attack that the Obama administra-
tion says was carried out by
Assads military. The administra-
tion says more than 1,400 people
were killed, including more than
400 children.
Obama was trying to nd a mid-
dle ground that would attract a
majority in the House and the
Senate a difcult task compli-
cated further because Obama is
leaving for a three-day trip to
Europe Tuesday night, visiting
Stockholm, Sweden, and then
attending an economic summit in
St. Petersburg, Russia.
The visit is all the more signi-
cant because Russia has sided with
the Syrian regime. Russias for-
eign minister, Sergey Lavrov, said
Obama pushes the skeptical on Syria
Barack Obama
By Julie Pace
WASHINGTON For
President Barack Obamas new
foreign policy advisers, the rst
test of their willingness to
undertake military action wound
up being a stark lesson in the
presidents ability to overrule
them all.
Obamas abrupt decision to
seek congressional approval
before striking Syria also over-
shadowed what had been a sur-
prising level of consensus
among the second-term team
members about how to respond
to a deadly chemical weapons
attack against civilians in Syria.
People close to the delibera-
tions say Secretary of State John
Kerry, Defense Secretary Chuck
Hagel, national security adviser
Susan Rice and U.N. Ambassador
Samantha Power largely agreed
about the need to use force to
punish Syrian President Bashar
Assad. While there were some
differing views about the speed
and the scope of an attack, there
were no splintered factions the
way there had been during rst-
term debates over taking action
in Libya or launching the raid
that killed Osama bin Laden.
The advisers, two of whom are
former senators, were also will-
ing to proceed without congres-
sional authorization. But on
Friday night, after a week spent
speeding toward military action,
the president made a stunning
turnabout and decided he wanted
approval from lawmakers before
carrying out an attack.
While I believe I have the
authority to carry out this mili-
tary action without specic con-
gressional authorization, I know
that the country will be stronger
if we take this course, and our
actions will be even more effec-
tive, Obama said as he
announced the decision Saturday.
We should have this debate.
The way the president arrived
at his decision highlights what
has been a source of criticism
among Washingtons foreign
policy thinkers: a president who
has centralized decision-making
within the White House and at
times marginalized the State
Department and Pentagon.
As Obama grappled with put-
ting military action to a vote in
Congress, he didnt consult his
foreign policy team. Instead, he
sought out Denis McDonough, a

WORLD 8
By Sylvie Corbet
PARIS France released an
intelligence report on Monday
alleging chemical weapons use by
Syrias regime that dovetailed with
similar U.S. claims, as President
Bashar Assad warned that any mili-
tary strike against his country
would spark an uncontrollable
regional war and spread chaos and
extremism.
The verbal crossre, including a
rejection of the Western allega-
tions by longtime Syrian ally
Russia, was part of frenzied efforts
on both sides to court internation-
al public opinion after President
Barack Obama said he would seek
authorization from Congress
before launching any military
action against Assads regime.
In an interview with French
newspaper Le Figaro, Assad was
quoted as say-
ing that Syria
has challenged
the U.S. and
France to pro-
vide proof to
support their
allegations, but
that their lead-
ers have been
incapable of
doing that, including before their
own peoples.
If the Americans, the French or
the British had a shred of proof,
they would have shown it begin-
ning on the rst day, he said,
deriding Obama as weak and hav-
ing buckled to U.S. domestic polit-
ical pressure.
We believe that a strong man is
one who prevents war, not one who
inames it, Assad said.
French President Francois
Hollande and Obama have been the
two world leaders most vocally
calling for action against Assads
regime, accusing it of carrying out
a deadly chemical attack against
rebel-held suburbs of Damascus on
Aug. 21.
The U.S. said it has proof that the
Assad regime is behind attacks that
Washington claims killed at least
1,429 people, including more than
400 children. Those numbers are
signicantly higher than the death
toll of 355 provided by the aid
group Doctors Without Borders.
It has marked an intolerable esca-
lation in a two-year civil war in
Syria that has left some 100,000
people dead.
The Syrian government denies
the allegations, and blames oppo-
sition ghters. In the Figaro inter-
view, Assad questioned whether an
attack took place at all and refused
to say whether his forces have
chemical weapons, as is widely
believed.
If the U.S. and France strike,
Everyone will lose control of the
situation ... Chaos and extremism
will spread. The risk of a regional
war exists, he added.
To back up its case, the French
government published a nine-page
intelligence synopsis Monday that
concluded Assads regime had
launched an attack on Aug. 21
involving a massive use of chem-
ical agents, and could carry out
similar strikes in the future.
In all, though, the French report
provided little new concrete evi-
dence beyond what U.S. ofcials
provided over the weekend in
Washington. Along with it, the
French Defense Ministry posted on
its Web site six clips of amateur
video showing victims, some of
which has already been widely
available online and in the interna-
tional media.

OPINION 9
Who are the Syrian
anti- war protesters?
Editor,
Now we are starting to see the No
War in Syria protesters come out of
the woodwork, protesting any mili-
tary action against Bashar Assad.
Arent these the same folks who also
protested war on Saddam Husseins
thug regime, a regime that poison-
gassed its citizens by the thousands?
Just one question: Why do our left-
wing friends always march in lock-
step with these human extermina-
tors?

San Mateo
Burlingame Avenue
construction
Editor,
Everybodys happy (and relieved)
now that the rst block of the
Burlingame Avenue construction is
nearing completion, even though it
is a month behind. The sidewalk is
widened, perhaps a bit too much con-
sidering the trouble some people are
having parking, and the tiling is
attractive. But how much longer until
the project is completed? Another
year, we are told. One more year to
redo three city blocks is an unusually
long time especially in a business
area. Anyone who walks in downtown
Burlingame these days can see that
businesses are languishing and foot
trafc is diminished.
Curious about the exorbitant length
of the construction, I made some
inquiries and found out that only two
shifts of 10 workers are engaged dur-
ing construction time. Does this
seem the most expedient way to com-
plete a project of such importance for
a town like Burlingame?
Meanwhile, traditional patrons can
drive over to vibrant San Mateo
downtown eateries forming new
going-out habits that could affect the
future of Burlingames business dis-
trict. Where is the City Council on
this one? Its election time and a
good opportunity for council mem-
bers to push for some action.

Thank you South San Francisco
Editor,
I was thrilled to read the Aug. 29
article, SSF gives OK for Planned
Parenthood. Im proud of the
Peninsula, of the South San Francisco
Planning Commission and the City
Council.
Planned Parenthood is the nations
leading sexual and reproductive health
care provider and their health centers
offer high quality, affordable health
care. It provides much-needed preven-
tive services such as breast- and cer-
vical-cancer screenings, family plan-
ning, prenatal care and primary care
for adults and children. Planned
Parenthood is also a source of educa-
tional resources for the community,
providing services to help families
plan their pregnancies and tools for
families to increase communication
about sexual health.
Id like to thank South San
Francisco for keeping the health of
women, families and communities a
priority on the Peninsula.

Letters to the editor
Guest perspective
By Quentin L. Kopp
I
enjoyed Sue Lemperts Aug. 5
column concerning the attack by
San Mateo County Manager
John Maltbie on the San Mateo
County Civil Grand Jury after it issued
a report criticizing the county for not
treating certain state educational
funds (which exceeded school funding
requirements) as revenue in its 2012-
13 budget. The grand jury alleged that
voters on a ballot measure to increase
the countrywide sales tax werent
informed that such state money refut-
ed the representation to voters of a
probable budget decit without
increased sales taxation. The county
manager assailed the grand jurys
report and, additionally (and perhaps
gratuitously), assailed the grand jury
system for operating in secret ses-
sions, as permitted by state law. Ms.
Lempert opined that the county man-
ager made a big mistake in going
after the grand jury. She accurately
pointed out that the grand jury func-
tions as an investigative body; inves-
tigators dont interview witnesses in
open or public proceedings.
Ms. Lempert also reminded readers
(and me) that in the mid-1990s, I
fomented grandilo-
quently about a
civil grand jury
report concluding
that San Mateo
County would lose
money if the exten-
sion of BARTinto
San Francisco
International
Airport occurred.
I appreciate Ms. Lemperts reference
to me as the father of the BART
extension into SFO, but Im even
happier that, contrary to the 1996
manipulations and misrepresentations
of the then-SFO general manager,
such extension eventually opened 10
years ago this fall while I was still
sitting as a San Mateo County
Superior Court judge. (The then-SFO
general manager abhorred the idea of
any other public agency, whether San
Mateo County or BART, invading his
turf). Im even happier to note a lit-
tle-disseminated fact: That section of
BART, transporting riders to and from
SFO to San Bruno, South San
Francisco, Colma, Daly City, San
Francisco and stations in Alameda and
Contra Costa Counties, constitutes
the only portion of BARTnot requir-
ing operating subsidies from taxpay-
ers. In fact, for the past two years, the
SFO extension has even generated
prot for BART, which otherwise
requires approximately 27 percent of
its expenditures to be subsidized by
taxpayers. (Incidentally, BARTpro-
duces more money from the fare box,
about 73 percent of its operating
expenses, than any other of the 28
public transit agencies in the Bay
Area by far). The SFO extension this
past month recovered 114.7 percent
of its opening cost from fares, high-
est in the state!
Having presided over the San Mateo
County Civil Grand Jury for 30
months of my judicial service during
the last decade, I agree with Ms.
Lemperts observation that grand
juries are useful and should be sup-
ported. I dont know if the county
manager or the grand jury was right
regarding their dispute. I do know
grand jurors volunteer many hours of
effort on a weekly basis during their
one year of service. Please dont crip-
ple them, if youre a public ofcial,
despite the temptation to do so.

and

L
abor Day weekend is now officially over which
means there is absolutely no reason to wear
white shoes, aside from anyone who curses the
fashion police or are a long-lost member of Run-DMC.
Vintage rappers notwith-
standing, the holiday weekend
kicking off the descent into
fall has long been the cultural
signal to put some things
like the aforementioned snowy
white shoes to the back of
the closet for another season.
But why stop there? Plenty
of things beyond shoes are in
need of a good shelving, per-
haps indefinitely. Some, in
fact, shouldnt even wait for
spring cleaning to get a swift
toss to the junk pile.
Syria. Egypt. Drones. Convenience fees. Snowden
and Manning. Putin and his homophobic policies.
Google Glass paranoia. Drivers who fail to merge prop-
erly. Montana Judge G. Todd Baugh who blamed a teen
rape victim who later committed suicide. Touchy-feely
mayors who think rehab takes the place of an apology.
Horse meat served as beef. Miley Cyrus and her tongue.
The oh-so-scary Bay Bridge S-curve. Wouldnt the world
be a much more pleasant place without any of the con-
troversial nonsense each of those bring? At least the
last is going away with installation of the new span.
Too bad the same cant be said about the constant
onslaught of zombies. Zombie attacks. Zombie apoca-
lypse, Zombie-inducing drugs. Zombie bullets. Zombie
shows and movies. Time to shelve zombies along with
lingering vampires and werewolves. The world needs to
focus on the truly scary like recalled produce, the
hantavirus, sheer yoga pants and anything that hap-
pens in Florida.
Sports steroid scandals should also be in the
Goodwill heap but admittedly they did serve as reminder
that track and field is still around. Speaking of sports,
put the San Francisco Giants to rest. Not indefinitely,
mind you, but for the rest of the season. Watching the
games has become nearly as painful as shelling out for
the still-inflated tickets.
Asports-related idea that should be kicked completely
is the National Football Leagues stadium bag policy.
Fans can now only bring small purses or an equally
small clear plastic bag into games. Seriously? The need
for clothing layers aside, carrying a bag through which
others can see wallets and other personal items doesnt
seem too smart.
And on the topic of intelligence Anthony Weiner.
Isnt it time for this guy to take his smartphone and his
not-so-smart self and just crawl away? Every year has
its poster boy or girl for political missteps or obnox-
ious maneuvering. Last year, blatant presidential court-
ing of specific demographics was the target as the over-
all slate of speakers at the Republic and Democratic
conventions emulated Olympic gymnastics judges tick-
ing off the anticipated routine highlight of each pint-
sized competitor.
Hispanic voters check. Female contingent
done. Gays nailed it. God, abortion, family values,
al-Qaida. Done, done, done and done. To steal a page
from McKayla Maroneys playbook, viewers (or at least
this viewer) were definitely not impressed. Clint
Eastwoods bit with the empty chair may have been off-
cuff and off the wall but at least nobody can say it was
expected.
The same cant be said for Weiner. Once a selfie-lov-
ing fool, always a selfie-loving fool. His latest scandal
was just a matter of time.
But fingers crossed, this is the end. Weve labored
through another year of this tomfoolery and the only
thing its delivered is a whole lot of head shaking. This
Labor Day weekend, the only shoe they deserve is a
boot .

NEWYORK Verizon will own
its wireless business outright after
agreeing Monday to pay $130 bil-
lion for the 45 percent stake in
Verizon Wireless owned by
British cellphone carrier
Vodafone.
The buyout, the second-largest
acquisition deal on record, would
give Vodafone PLC additional
cash to pursue its expansion
ambitions in Europe. Those ambi-
tions include its push to buy up
other cellphone providers and to
expand into the lucrative world of
mobile services.
The deal would give Verizon
Communications Inc. an opportu-
nity to boost its quarterly earn-
ings, as it would no longer have
to share a portion of proceeds
from the nations No. 1 wireless
carrier with Vodafone. It expects
its earnings per share will rise by
10 percent once the deal closes.
But the deal isnt expected to
have much of an effect on Verizon
consumers or on the companys
operations. Vodafone had little
influence on Verizon Wireless
day-to-day operations, and the
two companies have kept out of
each others territory.
The deal still requires approval
by regulators and shareholders of
both companies. It is expected to
close in the rst quarter of 2014.
Under terms of the deal, Verizon
will pay $58.9 million in cash
and $60.2 billion in stock. It will
also issue $5 billion in senior
notes payable to Vodafone and
sell its 23.1 percent minority
stake in Vodafone Omnitel NV t o
Vodafone for $3.5 billion. The
remaining $2.5 billion will be
paid in other ways.
Vodafone said its shareholders
would get $84 billion of the deals
net proceeds including the
Verizon shares and $23.9 billion
in cash.
Vodafone CEO Vittorio Colao
said the sale will mean a very
substantial return to shareholders
and to the investments relied
upon by savers and pensioners.
This transaction has the beau-
ty that it allows both to reward
shareholders for their support and
strengthen the company for future
long-term rewards to sharehold-
ers, he said.
The Verizon-Vodafone partner-
ship started in 2000, when what
was then Bell Atlantic combined
its East Coast wireless network
with Vodafones operations on the
West Coast. Vodafone had entered
the U.S. market a year earlier by
outbidding Bell Atlantic to buy
AirTouch Communications Inc. of
San Francisco.
While Vodafone and Verizon
have prospered by building the
infrastructure to make cellphone
calls, much of the growth in
todays market is in providing
services that can be used on
smartphones over high-speed
wireless connections, said Victor
Basta, managing director at
Magister Advisors.

PASO ROBLES Wine connois-
seurs may be enjoying the latest
Zinfandel or Syrah from the Paso
Robles region, but residents are com-
plaining the growing number of vine-
yards is straining the local water sup-
pl y.
A dispute has been bubbling lately
between residents and winemakers
over the use of an ancient aquifer that
covers nearly 800 square miles and is
large enough to support annual
demand.
However, the wine grape acreage has
more than tripled in the past 15 years
and some residents say the basin water
is owing freely into the vineyards.
The water level has sunk 70 feet or
more since 1997 in some parts due to
persistent drought and agricultural and
urban growth.
More than two-thirds of basin water
usage is for farming, most of which are
vineyards. California and Texas are the
only two states that allow landowners
unlimited access to groundwater.
Theres too many doctors and
lawyers moving in here and putting in
their Chateau Cashow, Zan Overturf,
owner of a Paso Robles plant nursery,
told the Los Angeles Times
(http://lat.ms/14bVBPA).
Denise Smith, a retired teacher, is
among dozens of homeowners whose
wells have run dry. Shes unable to
afford a deeper well, which costs about
$30,000, so she resorts to eating
meals on paper plates and taking
showers that last 45 seconds.
We used to think we were so lucky
to live here, said Jan Seals, 60, a Bay
Area transplant whose well water
dropped 70 feet in the decade she and
her husband have lived outside Paso
Robles. Now weve got two choices:
drill another well or put our house on
the market. But I wouldnt buy our
house given the situation with the
basin.

Crews make overnight
gains on Yosemite fire
YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK Crews working to corral
the massive wildre searing the edge of Yosemite National
Park made major gains on the blaze overnight.
The re was 60 percent contained as of Monday morning,
up from 45 percent Sunday night, according to California
re ofcials. The blaze also grew about 9 square miles and
now covers more than 357 square miles.
Full containment is not expected until Sept. 20.
Mandatory evacuations remain in effect for some south of
Highway 120 and Tioga Road west of Yosemite Creek Picnic
Area is closed.
The blaze started Aug. 17 in the Stanislaus National
Forest and two-thirds of the land burned since then is locat-
ed there as well. The cause is being investigated. More than
5,500 structures are threatened.
Clouds and higher humidity slowed ames from advanc-
ing through brush and trees on Sunday, giving reghters
room to set backfires, dig containment lines and to
strengthen lines around threatened communities, fire
spokesman Trevor Augustino said.
The 2-week-old Rim Fire moved up a spot to fourth on the
states list of large wildres dating back to 1932 on Sunday
when it grew to 351 square miles an area larger than the
cities of San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose combined,
California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection
spokesman Daniel Berlant said.
Meanwhile, the dense smoke that obscured Yosemites
majestic views for the rst time on Saturday and prompted
air quality warnings was starting to ease, park spokes-
woman Kari Cobb said.

There are only two differ-
ences for the Menlo School
football team in moving up to
the Bay Division.
One, the Knights have
only two new division
opponents Menlo-
Atherton and Terra
Nova. Theyve
played South City
and Sequoia the
last few years
playing in the Ocean, and
Sacred Heart Prep is their sea-
son-ending rival.
More important is the No. 2
difference: there is no break
for the Knights in the Bay
Division schedule.
Playing in the Bay means
(every week) its really com-
petitive and a really good
opponent, said Menlo coach
Mark Newton.

Menlo-Atherton coach Sione Taufoou likes to keep
things close to the vest. In fact, he doesnt really like
to talk about the Xs and Os of football. His plan is
much more grand than that. He is preparing his players
for the game of life.
I dont talk about it very often, but off the eld,
these kids are amazing, Taufoou said. They want to
leave a lasting legacy. Since Ive been here, everyone
has left something in position for the next year.
Rest assured, however, the Bears will once again let
teams know theyve been in a battle when they face off
against M-A. The Bears always have some talent, but
have been greater than the sum of their parts during

AL West
victory
By Janie McCauley
OAKLAND Unlike early September last
year, the Oakland Athletics and Texas
Rangers are neck and neck chasing the AL
West title.
Both clubs are ready for this race to go
right down to the end again.
Coco Crisp hit a tiebreaking two-run
homer in the fth that was conrmed by a
video review, and the As pulled into a rst-
place tie with Texas by beating the Rangers
4-2 on Monday.
You enjoy the race, As closer Grant
Balfour said. Id like to say were sitting
here 10 games up.
Yoenis Cespedes homered leading off the
second inning and Chris Young added an RBI
single in Oaklands fourth straight win.
David Murphy hit a tying two-run shot in
the Texas fth for his rst homer since Aug.
1. But the Rangers loaded the bases against
Dan Otero with one out in the sixth and
couldnt deliver.
Crisp set a career high with his 17th
homer that stayed just fair of the left-eld
foul pole, topping his 16 for Cleveland in
2005. He homered for the third straight

SANTA CLARA The San Francisco
49ers have signed wide receiver Chris
Harper to a three-year contract.
San Francisco announced the move during
its off day Monday before Week 1 prepara-
tion begins in earnest ahead of Sundays
season opener against Green Bay.
Harper was a fourth-round draft pick by the
NFC West rival Seattle Seahawks, who
released him Saturday.
Also Monday, the team added seven play-
ers to its practice squad: tackle Carter
Bykowski, running back Jewel Hampton,
wideout Chuck Jacobs, cornerback Darryl
Morris, guard Patrick Omameh, nose tackle
Mike Purcell and safety Michael Thomas.

INDIANAPOLIS The Indianapolis
Colts acquired Cam Johnson in a trade with
San Francisco on Monday.
Indianapolis says it sent an undisclosed
conditional draft pick to the 49ers. The
Colts did not immediately announce a corre-
sponding roster move.
The 6-foot-2, 268-pound linebacker was
San Franciscos seventh-round draft pick in
2012.
The trade came just a couple of hours after
Indy announced it signed rookie receiver

September 6, 7 & 8, 2013

NORTON, Mass Agreat summer of golf
nally paid off for Henrik Stenson.
Stenson made three straight birdies to
race by a fast-fading Sergio Garcia, and he
holed a bunker shot for birdie on the 17th
hole to turn back a nal threat from Steve
Stricker and win the Deutsche Bank
Championship.
Stenson was runner-up in the British
Open and a World Golf Championship, and
he tied for third at the PGA Championship.
All that was missing was a trophy, and he
took care of that on Labor Day at the soggy
TPC Boston by closing with a 5-under 66
for a two-shot win over Stricker.
The 37-year-old Swede moved to the top
of the FedEx Cup standings after two play-
off events, assuring him his rst trip to the
Tour Championship and a clear shot at the
$10 million prize.
Im just pleased I won here, said
Stenson, who tied the tournament record at
22-under 262. This was a big goal of mine
to win a golf tournament after all those nice
nishes. My family is here. Im going to
see my kids in a little bit. Its all good.
Stensons win was only part of the high
drama Monday, so much that Tiger Woods
became an afterthought. He closed with a 73
and tied for 65th. The best image of him all
day was walking back out to the course after
a rain delay with he and his 6-year-old
daughter dressed in matching red.
Brendan Steele thought his season was
over when the nal round was halted for two
hours because of rain. Steele made a birdie
putt on the 15th when play resumed, hit a 9-
iron to 2 feet for birdie on the 16th and
closed with two more birdies to sneak into
the top 70 in the FedEx Cup and advance to
the third playoff event in two weeks at
Conway Farms north of Chicago.
Steele appeared to bump Ernie Els out of
the top 70 when he tied him at 12-under
272.
It feels like I just missed the cut, Els
said when he nished. But the Big Easy was
given a big reprieve. K.J. Choi made a
bogey on the par-5 18th. Charley Hoffman
made bogey on the 17th. Kevin Chappell
missed an 8-foot birdie putt on the last hole.
That combination was enough for Els to
grab the 70th spot by a fraction of a point.
Strickers third runner-up nish this year
allowed him to move into the top 10 and
qualify for the Presidents Cup team, despite
playing a part-time schedule.
That put the 10th spot up for grabs
between Webb Simpson and Zach Johnson,
who were playing together on the other side
of the course.
They were tied at 8 under big advantage
to Simpson until the former U.S. Open
champion dropped two shots on the last
four holes.
Johnson faced a 25-foot birdie putt on his
last hole that determined whether he made
the team, and he poured it in the middle.
Johnson last week gave up a chance to
earn points by skipping The Barclays to be
in his brothers wedding.

NEW YORK Roger Federer lost in the
fourth round of the U.S. Open for the rst
time in a decade, surpris-
ingly beaten 7-6 (3), 6-
3, 6-4 by 19th-seeded
Tommy Robredo of
Spain.
Monday nights result
caps a rough Grand Slam
season for Federer, who
owns a record 17 major
championships, includ-
ing five at Flushing
Meadows.
He exited in the semifinals at the
Australian Open in January, the quarternals
at the French Open in early June, and the
second round of Wimbledon against a
player ranked 116th, to boot in late June.
That ended Federers record run of reach-
ing at least the quarternals at 36 consecu-
tive Grand Slam tournaments.
Now, thanks to Robredo, Federer has a
new, unwanted streak: Two consecutive
losses before the quarternals at majors.
Roberta Vinci will face a fellow Italian in
the U.S. Open quarternals for the second
straight year.
In a testament to the depth among Italys
womens tennis players, the 10th-seeded
Vinci will also be taking on a country-
woman for the third straight round at this
years tournament. She and longtime friend
Flavia Pennetta both won Monday.
We try to motivate everyone, Pennetta
said. Its really nice because always we
make a good result, almost always.
On a day when experience trumped youth,
three 30-something women beat opponents
in their early 20s. Vinci defeated Camila
Giorgi 6-4, 6-2 in 67 minutes. Moments
later, rain started pouring down, stopping
all matches at Flushing Meadows for 4 1/2
hours.
The delay couldnt have come at a better
time for Pennetta, who returned to the court
to seize momentum and clinch a 6-2, 7-6 (3)
victory over 21st-seeded Simona Halep.
American wild card Alison Riske forced a
third set against Daniela Hantuchova, but
the Slovakian veteran pulled away for a 6-3,
5-7, 6-2 victory.
Halep had set point on her serve, trying to
send the match to the third, when the skies
opened up to her dismay. Once they resumed
play, Pennetta pounced on a second serve to
set up a big forehand that erased the set
point.
After that I was very nervous and I lost
the game very fast, Halep said.
Pennetta won the next two points on
short rallies to even the second set at 5-5.
Halep promptly broke again, but she
couldnt serve out the set this time, either.
Then the 31-year-old Pennetta dominated
the tiebreaker against a disheartened Halep.
The 21-year-old Romanian was still
thrilled to make her rst career Grand Slam
round of 16.
Pennetta is in the U.S. Open quarters for
the fourth time. But this one is sweet,
because she missed last years tournament
with a right wrist injury that explains why
her ranking has slipped to 83rd.
Was not easy, I can tell you, Pennetta
said of coming back from surgery. I cry a
lot, yeah. But I love this sport.
Vinci had never made a Grand Slam quar-
ternal before this tournament a year ago,
when she was 29. Now Vinci has done it in
consecutive U.S. Open trips. She lost to
another countrywoman, doubles partner
Sara Errani, in the quarters in 2012.
Its obvious that Im not young. Im 30.
But it can be a strength, because I have a lot
of experience, Vinci said. Against a play-
er like Camila, who is very young, it can be
an advantage for me and I think it was on
the court today.
Errani, the top-ranked Italian woman, was
upset by Pennetta in the second round this
year while seeded fourth. No matter, the
country will still have a representative in
the womens semifinals for the second
straight time.
Before last year, that hadnt happened
once in the Open era, which began in 1968.
Giorgi, a 136th-ranked qualier, was try-
ing to reach her rst major quarternal at age
21. In her third-round upset of sixth-seeded
Caroline Wozniacki, she crushed the ball on
point after point, with 46 winners and 45
unforced errors.

SAN DIEGO Ian Kennedy beat an NL
West opponent for the rst time in 12
starts this season, pitching the San Diego
Padres past the San Francisco Giants 4-1
Monday.
Kennedy (6-9) gave up one run and ve
hits over six innings while striking out
seven. He is 3-1 with a 4.04 ERAsince the
Padres got him in a trade with Arizona on
July 31.
Kennedy improved to 1-5 with a 4.97
ERA in his starts against NL West teams
this year.
Huston Street worked a spotless ninth to
earn his 26th save in 27 chances.
Barry Zito (4-11) lost his eighth
straight decision. He has won only once in
his last 20 starts.
Zito was pulled after
four innings, allowing
four earned runs on four
hits and three walks. He
fell to 0-9 with a 10.00
ERAin his last 11 starts
away from AT&T Park.
Kennedy drew one of
Zitos three walks in the
second. Ronny Cedeno
hit an RBI single and
Chris Denora singled home two runs.
Nick Hundley hit his 11th home run in
the fourth.
The Giants scored in the fifth on
Brandon Belts double. With runners on
second and third, Buster Posey hit a two-
out liner that third baseman Logan
Forsythe reached high to snag.
In the eighth, the Giants had the tying
run at the plate, but Sandoval and Crawford
failed to produce against reliever Luke
Gregerson.

should be well positioned to handle it. Wi t h
the return of one of the best quarterbacks in
the Central Coast Section, and a more than
capable supporting cast, the Knights will
no doubt be in the mix for the Bay Division
title.
We have a really fun schedule, a really
challenging schedule. Our kids, theyve
done really well the last three years,
Newton said. Theyre excited.
Senior quarterback Jack Heneghan will
have a huge hand in Menlos success. Last
season, the Ocean Divisions Offensive
Player of the Year threw for more than 2,700
yards, with 34 touchdowns. He also rushed
for 452 yards and nine more scores. At 6-4,
220 pounds, Heneghan will be a load for
any defense with both his arm and his legs.
Hes done a great job in the summer,
Newton said. He works as hard as any kid
Ive ever met. He worked hard on his foot-
work and quickness. Hes really matured
into an outstanding leader.
If for whatever reason Heneghan goes
down, Newton is just as condent in his
backups, Austin DeAlba and Will King,
although they would not be the complete
package Heneghan is.
If the worst happens and Jack has to go
out for a bit, we wont be running the same
kind of (offense with our backups), Newton
said.
A passing attack is only as good as the
receiving corps and, despite losing some
talent to graduation, Heneghan will have
one of his main targets back in Pete Bouret,
who had 22 catches for 400 yards and six
touchdowns last season, averaging 18 yards
a catch.
Hes a warrior, Newton said of Bouret.
Hes our Wes Welker kind of guy. Hes real-
ly tough. He has great instincts. Hes a
smart football player.
We put a lot of pressure on our wide
receivers and quarterbacks. They have a
good feel for each other.
Despite being known primarily as a
throwing offense, the Knights running
game is the envy of a lot of programs. The
combination of senior Travis Chambers and
sophomore Charlie Roth should take some
of the pressure off Heneghan.
Think of the pair as thunder and lighting.
Chambers is the lithe, quick back, while
Newton has nicknamed Roth John
Riggins, a name that doesnt have a lot of
recognition among the players but, if their
parents are football fans, they know what
the opposition is in for: a big, bruising
back who can run over and run by a defense.
Theyre both great backs. Theyre nice
complements, Newton said. Travis can
run downhill and has great side-to-side
movement in the open eld. Charlie is a
really good inside runner and he has great
hands.
They both have great hands, which is
important.
Anchoring the offensive and defensive
lines are Adam Yecies and Jack Ferguson.
Joining them on the defensive line will be
Roth, who also lines up at a defensive end
spot. Backing them will be Chambers, who
also doubles as one of the teams best line-
backers. Joining the linebacker corps is
King and Christian Pluchar. Bouret will
help stabilize the defensive secondary and
should get some help from junior Jack
Marren.
While the Knights wont have the deepest
team in the Bay Division, Newton believes
he has enough depth at key spots in the
lineup. Of course that also means the
Knights will have to stay relatively healthy
if they want to survive the rigors of the Bay
Division.
Right now, if we kept our 28-30 guys we
have and everyones healthy and ready to
go, then things are looking good, Newton
said. We can compete with all the teams in
the Bay. Its just a matter of keeping our
guys healthy.

ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders are
gradually solidifying their starting lineup
for the season opener. They arent quite
ready to announce their starting quarter-
back.
Coach Dennis Allen said Monday that he
will not disclose whether
Terrelle Pryor or Matt
Flynn will start the sea-
son opener at
Indianapolis until game
time for competitive
reasons.
Allen has announced
starters at left tackle,
tight end, cornerback
and punter but will not
reveal who will start at
quarterback in order to make the Colts pre-
pare for both the athletic Pryor and the more
stationary Flynn.
Pryor did take the first snap with the
first-team offense during a drill in the por-
tion of practice open to the media. Flynn
is healthy after missing last week with a
sore right elbow.
Allen has said the starter will be the quar-
terback who is best able to move the team
and score points. In the preseason, that
clearly was Pryor. The offense produced 32
points on 14 drives with Pryor at quarter-
back, compared to 10 points on 13 drives
this preseason for Flynn. Flynn played
mostly with and against starters, while
Pryor was in mostly with second-team play-
ers.
With the ability to scramble when the
protection breaks down and the speed to
excel at the read-option game, Pryor gives
Oakland a much-needed big-play option on
an offense that lacks playmakers.
Whoever plays quarterback will have a
rookie starting at left tackle whose only
game experience at that crucial position
came in the exhibition nale last week.
Menelik Watson, a second-rounder out of
Florida State who has played just two years
of football, played well enough in that
game and in his week of practice after a calf
injury to earn the starting job with Jared
Veldheer out at least half the season with a
torn left triceps.
Watson will have to deal with proven pass
rusher Robert Mathis and Bjoern Werner, a
rst-round pick who was his teammate at
Florida State, as well as a loud crowd in a
dome in his NFL debut.
Just have a lot of preparing to do to get
ready for these guys and their scheme and
the things they like to do, he said. You
just have to key on that, probably knowing
that as a rst-time rookie theyll probably
bring a lot of stuff my way. I just have to be
extra, extra prepared for what will happen.
Among the other camp battles, Jeron
Mastrud beat out Richard Gordon at tight
end, Marquette King won the punting job
over Chris Kluwe, and rst-round pick D.J.
Hayden will begin his career as a cornerback
in the nickel package rather than a starter in
the base defense.
The punter competition was one of the
most watched at training camp this summer.
The Raiders liked King so much last summer
as an undrafted free agent out of Fort Valley
State that they kept him on injured reserve
all season.
When Shane Lechler left in free agency,
King seemed ready to get his chance as the
teams punter. But Oakland brought in
Kluwe to challenge King and initially kept
both punters on the 53-man roster Saturday
before cutting Kluwe a day later.
It was a little nerve-racking, King said.
I felt pretty good. I mean, I thought I had a
pretty good preseason.
King averaged 53.6 yards per punt with a
45.3 yard net average one of seven punts
ending inside the 20, and two touchbacks in
four exhibition games. He has the bigger
leg of the two.
Kluwe averaged 46.6 yards per punt with a
37.4 net average with one of seven punts
ending inside the 20 and no touchbacks, but
is more consistent and a more reliable hold-
er for kicker Sebastian Janikowski.
Marquette won the competition as the
punter and well continue to work with the
holding situation, Allen said. I think
Seabass feels comfortable. The good thing
is weve got really a Hall of Fame type kick-
er, an outstanding kicker, and I really dont
anticipate that being any issue.
NOTES:
The Raiders signed T Tony Pashos, who
was released by Washington on Saturday,
and cut TAlex Barron.
Barron started two exhibition games at LT
before being passed up by rookie Menelik
Watson. ... Oakland signed fourth-round QB
Tyler Wilson to the practice squad a day after
waiving him.

Taufoous tenure. As usual, you can expect
the Bears to be physical and to be in the
mix for the Peninsula Athletic Leagues Bay
Division title.
Its kind of a rebuilding year for M-A, but
the Bears do have a couple of key pieces
coming back. Isiah Nash is the leading
returning rusher who averaged more than
seven yards per carry last season. He was
just as effective on defense from his corner-
back position.
Isiah will play both ways for us,
Taufoou said. I expect Isiah to be a great
leader and a great competitor. He got a solid
amount (of work) last year.
Oliver Bucka will help out on the offen-
sive line from the tight end position as well
as on the defensive line. Like Nash, Bucka
is a leading receiver coming back from last
season.
Brian Jaggers will anchor the defensive
side of the ball from his linebacker posi-
tion. A three-year varsity starter, Jaggers
has arguably the most varsity experience
on the team. Hell also see some time run-
ning the ball this season as well for the rst
time.
The kids rally around him, Taufoou said
of Jaggers. He knows the system. Hell
play a little bit of running back as well. It
will be new to him, but hell be all right.
Taufoou said there is currently a three-way
battle for the starting quarterback spot. He
said hell let it play out to see who steps up
and seizes the job.
We have a little competition right now,
Taufoou said. Chad Allen, Robby
Beardsley, Brian Keare theyre all pretty
similar. [Keare] is probably the most athlet-
ic. [Beardsley] is a sophomore and [Allen]
is probably one of the hardest working kids
on the team.
Well let these guys compete. See how
things shake out.
Regardless of who plays where, Taufoou
is mostly concerned about seeing his play-
ers mature into respectable adults, which
hasnt always been the case at Menlo-
Atherton. Taufoou has also put an emphasis
on work in the classroom, with the objec-
tive of keeping continuity from year to year
as the players can stay eligible to play.
Over the years, the Bears have seen some
signicant swings from winning it all in
2008 to winning just one game the follow-
ing year. Since Taufoou took over, the Bears
have stabilized into a solid, respected pro-
gram.
If you look at the team that won CCS
before I got here, and the team that went 1-
9 before I got here, those teams probably
had more talent, Taufoou said. What has
been established (since Ive been here) is a
bond, something more than football. Its
more than just about this game. Its about
relationships, its about transferring things
to outside the game.
The truth is, we havent been the most
talented team, but we play well together.
I think we have a good group. We want these
kids to be relentless in their effort.

Oakland also signed tackle Matt McCants
and linebacker Marshall McFadden to the
practice squad. The Raiders still have one
open spot left.
Pashos has played 92 games with 70
starts with Baltimore, Jacksonville, San
Francisco and Cleveland. He was cut by
Washington on Saturday.
Barron started two games in the preseason
at left tackle but was passed up by rookie
Menelik Watson and deemed expendable.
MOVES
Tommy Morrisons career reached its pin-
nacle on a hot June night in Las Vegas,
when he stepped into the ring and beat
George Foreman to become heavyweight
champion.
It reached its nadir when he tested positive
for HIV three years later.
The last 20 years of the brash boxers life
would be dened by extensive legal trou-
bles, erratic behavior and mounting health
problems. Morrison would later claim that
he never tested positive for the virus that
causes AIDs, even as he was hospitalized
during the last days of his life.
Morrison died Sunday night at a Nebraska
hospital. He was 44.
His longtime promoter and close friend,
Tony Holden, conrmed that the Duke had
died, but his family would not disclose the
cause of death. Morrison and his wife,
Trisha, continued to deny that the former
champion ever had HIV during the nal
years of his life.
Tommys a very stubborn person and he
views things the way he wants to view
things. Thats his right and privilege,
Holden said. All through his career, him
and I would come not to physical blows but
disagreements on certain things. We always
ended up friends. That was Tommy.
Thats the way Tommy took off after he
was told he was HIV-positive, Holden
added. When he rst was told, I was taking
him to seek treatment and to different doc-
tors around the country. And then he started
research on the Internet and started saying it
was a conspiracy. He went in that direction
and never looked back.
The controversy, along with Morrisons
rapid decline, overshadowed a stellar career.
Morrison was a prodigious puncher whose
bid to ght in the 1988 Seoul Olympics
ended at the hands of Ray Mercer, who later
dealt him his rst professional loss. Along
the way, Morrison became such a recogniza-
ble face that he was cast in Rocky V
alongside Sylvester Stallone.
Morrison won his rst 28 professional
ghts, beating faded champions such as
Pinklon Thomas along the way. He hit it
big at the Thomas & Mack Center in the
summer of 1993 a unanimous decision
over Foreman, then in the midst of his
comeback to claim a vacant world title.
As with so many things in Morrisons
life, the good was quickly followed by the
bad.
Morrison was in line for a high-prole
bout with Lennox Lewis when he was upset
by unheralded fighter Michael Bentt in
Tulsa, Okla., not far from where Morrison
was raised. He was knocked down three
times and the ght was called before the rst
round ended.
The loss meant a potential $7.5 million
payday for a title unication ght simply
vanished.
I zigged when I should have zagged,
Morrison said afterward. Its one of those
situations you have to live with and learn
from it. Ill be back.
Morrison indeed came back, but he was
never the same feared ghter.
He beat a bunch of long shots and faded
stars over the next couple of years before
getting knocked out by Lewis in the sixth
round.
That ght happened in October 1995. By
February, Morrison had tested positive for
HIV.
Hed been preparing for another ght that
winter when his blood test came back posi-
tive for the virus that causes AIDs.
Morrisons license was quickly suspended
by Nevada, and the ban was, in effect,
upheld by every other sanctioning body.
Morrison said at a news conference in 1996
that hed never ght again, blaming his
plight on a permissive, fast and reckless
lifestyle.
His lifestyle never changed, though, even
when he stepped away from the ring.
He had already run afoul of the law in
1993, when he pleaded guilty to assaulting
a college student.

game to help the As (79-58) move a season-
best 21 games over .500.
I didnt think it was going to stay fair,
he said.
Crisp fouled a ball off the area below his
right knee in the sixth. He stayed in and
struck out, and then was removed for what
the team called a shin contusion. Crisp said
he felt ne afterward.
In games so meaningful, he will do all he
can to stay on the eld.
Its a back and forth that kind of pumps
your blood a little bit, Crisp said.
Obviously you want to be close or you
want to be in front, in rst place or as far in
front as possible. Were fortunate were in
the situation we are now.
As lefty reliever Brett Anderson, pitch-
ing at home for the rst time since April 29,
worked a 10-pitch seventh, helped by Ian
Kinslers inning-ending double play. Ryan
Cook worked out of a jam in the eighth and
Balfour nished for his 36th save in 38 tries
as the Rangers left the tying run at second.
I was running on fumes, Balfour said of
pitching for the fourth time in ve days. I
was just trying to pitch with some guts.
Oakland won for the seventh time in
eight games and is hoping for another
strong September like its 17-11 showing
last year on the way to the West crown on
the nal day.
The Rangers, who were unable to hold off
streaking Oakland last year, fell out of sole
possession of rst place for the rst time
since Aug. 9, the last time the As shared the
lead.
I expect it to go all the way down to the
end. Division champs over there, Texas
manager Ron Washington said. I dont
expect them to go away and I certainly dont
expect us to go away. Everything goes
through Oakland. Doesnt matter where
positioned in the standings right now.
If Washington intended to put a target on
the As, manager Bob Melvin quipped, Ill
ip it back to him.
The Rangers had their three-game road
winning streak snapped with just their third
defeat in the last 15 games away from
Arlington.
Young singled in a second run for the As
three batters after Cespedes connected for
his 21st homer, against Derek Holland (9-
7). Center elder Leonys Martin missed the
ball on Youngs base hit and it got past him
for a two-base error. Young tried to score on
the play and was thrown out at home after
stumbling slightly rounding third.
Were playing OK, maybe not our best,
and were tied for rst with a team playing
well, too, Texas third baseman Adrian
Beltre said. Well take our chances. Our
destiny is in our hands.
Top As prospect Michael Choice went 0
for 2 with a walk in his major league debut
as the designated hitter.

Sports brief
Nyad 1st to swim to Florida
from Cuba without cage
KEY WEST, Fla. Looking
dazed and sunburned, U.S.
endurance swimmer Diana Nyad
walked ashore Monday, becoming
the rst person to swim from Cuba
to Florida without the help of a
shark cage.
The 64-year-old Nyad swam up to
the beach just before 2 p.m. EDT,
about 53 hours after starting her
journey from Havana on Saturday.
As she approached, spectators
waded into waist-high water and
surrounded her, taking pictures and
cheering her on.
I have three messages. One is,
we should never, ever give up. Two
is, youre never too old to chase
your dream. Three is, it looks like
a solitary sport, but it is a team,
she said on the beach.
I have to say, Im a little bit out
of it right now, Nyad said. She
gestured toward her swollen lips,
and simply said seawater.
Her team said she had been slur-
ring her words while out in the
water. She was placed on a stretch-
er on the beach and received an IV
before she was taken by ambulance
to a hospital. But her doctor later
declared her essentially healthy
and expected her to recover quickly
from dehydration, swelling and
sunburn.
I just wanted to get out of the
sun, she said after coming ashore
on a scorching, sunny day amid
calm seas.
It was Nyads fth attempt and
what she had said would be her last
try to complete the approximately
110-mile swim. She tried three
times in 2011 and 2012.

Thats the thing with innovations. You
are always asking questions like, Why did-
nt we have this already? Malinowski
said.
However, Malinowski said most ofcers
have some safety and privacy concerns
using social media sites due to the dangers
associated with their jobs.
They try not to be as traceable because
there are threats made against ofcers all of
the time, said Malinowski, who is also
married to a police ofcer. You try not to
be paranoid about it, but it does cross your
mind.
BlueLine will require multiple verica-
tions for members of law enforcement to
join and enter the network, said Jack Weiss,
Bratton Technologies chief strategy of-
cer. He added that the platform will be
housed in a secure data center that is com-
pliant by the U.S. Department of Defense
and the FBIs Criminal Justice Information
Services.
Also, Weiss said BlueLine will not be a
venue where law enforcement can share
information about specic criminal cases
with each other.
BlueLine, however, will join the ranks
of other law enforcement resource/infor-
mation-sharing sites, including
PoliceOne. BlueLines emergence also
comes as police departments many
shrinking in manpower due to budget cuts
have begun experimenting with social
media, according to a report by the U.S.
Department of Justice and the Police
Executive Research Forum, a
Washington, D.C.-based think tank for
police chiefs.
The joint study released in May noted that
in a recent survey of 800 law enforcement
agencies, 88 percent reported using social
media ranging from preventing crime, com-
munity policing to investigations and
intelligence gathering, but only 49 percent
had a social media policy.
I think were just on the front-end of
understanding how social media can help,
especially during a crisis, said Chuck
Wexler, the Police Executive Research
Forums executive director. I dont think
weve fully recognized its full potential.

Monday the information the U.S. showed
Moscow to prove the Syrian regime was
behind the chemical attack was absolutely
unconvincing.
In a daring move, Russian President
Vladimir Putin was considering sending a
delegation of Russian lawmakers to the
United States to discuss the situation in
Syria with members of Congress, the
Interfax news agency reported Monday.
The White House is engaging in what
ofcials call a ood-the-zone persuasion
strategy with Congress, arguing that failure
to act against Assad would weaken any
deterrence against the use of chemical
weapons and could embolden not only
Assad but also Iran and the Lebanese mili-
tant group Hezbollah an argument
Obama reiterated in his meeting with
McCain and Graham.
On Tuesday, Obama scheduled a meeting
with leaders of the House and Senate armed
services committees, the foreign relations
committees and the intelligence commit-
tees.
On Tuesday afternoon, Secretary of State
John Kerry, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel
and Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, are scheduled to testi-
fy publicly before the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee. Earlier Tuesday,
other members of the administrations
national security and intelligence teams
were to hold a classied, closed-door brief-
ing for all members of Congress. Asimilar
session was held Sunday and more will be
held Thursday and Friday.
Kerry will also testify Wednesday before
the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Kerry and Director of National Intelligence
James Clapper will hold a classied brief-
ing Wednesday with members of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee.
Members of the House Democratic caucus
participated in an unclassied conference
call Monday with Obama national security
adviser Susan Rice, Kerry, Hagel, Clapper
and Dempsey.
Following their white House meeting,
McCain and Graham, who often speak in
unison on foreign policy matters, said they
were more inclined to back Obamas call for
military action against Syria if it helps
destroy the regimes missile launching
capabilities and if the U.S. commits to pro-
vide more assistance to Syrian opposition
forces.
Adegrading strike limited in scope could
have a benecial effect to the battleeld
momentum, Graham said. There will
never be a political settlement in Syria as
long as Assad is winning.
SYRIA
longtime adviser who now serves as his
chief of staff. And most of the administra-
tions foreign policy leadership was absent
from the Oval Ofce meeting Friday night
when the president informed several advis-
ers about his decision to seek congressional
approval.
Rice, a member of the White House staff,
was in the room. But Kerry and Hagel were
only informed about the decision later that
night during phone calls from the president.
All power ows from and into the White
House, said Aaron David Miller, a former
adviser to Democratic and Republican
administrations and current vice president at
the Woodrow Wilson International Center
for Scholars. Hes relied, not surprisingly,
on a very close circle of trusted advisers. He
really is a controlling foreign policy presi-
dent.
When the national security team gathered
Saturday morning to discuss the decision,
administration ofcials say there was push-
back from some advisers, though they
refused to say who was leading that effort.
And at least publicly, the team now appears
to be following the orders of the commander
in chief.
Kerry, the most recognizable face on
Obamas team to most of the public, was dis-
patched to all ve Sunday talk shows to
defend the presidents decision. Kerry and
Hagel will also testify Tuesday before the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee a
committee they each served on during their
years in the Senate as the administration
tries to rally votes on Capitol Hill.
The ofcials and others close to the delib-
erations requested anonymity because they
were not authorized to publicly discuss the
internal deliberations.
As the White House appeared to be near-
ing imminent military action against Syria,
Kerry was among those pressing for the
most aggressive response. Even before
being tapped to lead the State Department,
the former Massachusetts senator had been
pushing for stronger action against Syria.
He has advocated sending more and better
assistance to the opposition and has backed
robust, though limited, military action to
punish the regime and force Assad to change
his calculation for continuing the conict
that has left more than 100,000 people
dead.
People close to Kerry say he was emotion-
ally affected by the images coming out of
Syria following the chemical weapons
attack, particularly those of dead and injured
children. He channeled that emotion into
two powerful speeches, including one on
Friday that appeared to be a prelude to a mil-
itary strike.
History would judge us all extraordinarily
harshly if we turned a blind eye to a dicta-
tors wanton use of weapons of mass destruc-
tion against all warnings, said Kerry,
reecting what aides said was his strong
belief that action was a moral imperative.
Kerry made similar arguments during his
turn on the Sunday talk shows, but empha-
sized that he supported the presidents deci-
sion to seek congressional approval.
Hagel, the former Republican senator now
running the Pentagon, spent most of the
Syria debate weighing in from Asia, where
he was on a nine-day trip. While he declared
during the trip that the military was ready
to go if Obama gave the orders to strike
Syria, he also appeared to be focused on the
risks of acting without international back-
ing. And like others in the Pentagon, includ-
ing Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin
Dempsey, he seemed to be considering the
unknowable next steps after a limited mili-
tary strike, particularly if it roiled adver-
saries elsewhere in the Middle East.
Rice and Power kept the lowest proles of
the new foreign policy team during the Syria
debate, both choosing to make their only
public comments on Twitter.
But their 140-character statements backed
up their reputations as supporters of inter-
vention for humanitarian purposes.

WASHINGTON Flu vaccina-
tion is no longer merely a choice
between a jab in the arm or a squirt
in the nose. This fall, some brands
promise a little extra protection.
For the rst time, certain vac-
cines will guard against four
strains of u rather than the usual
three. Called quadrivalent vac-
cines, these brands may prove
more popular for children than
their parents. Thats because kids
tend to catch the newly added
strain more often.
These four-in-one vaccines are
so new that theyll make up only a
fraction of the nations supply of
u vaccine, so if you want a dose,
better start looking early.
But thats only one of an
unprecedented number of u vac-
cine options available this year.
Allergic to eggs? Egg-free shots
are hitting the market, too.
Plus theres growing interest in
shots brewed just for the 65-and-
older crowd, and a brand that tar-
gets the needle-phobic with just a
skin-deep prick.
Were moving away from the
one-size-ts-all to choosing the
best possible vaccine for an indi-
viduals age and condition, said
Dr. Gregory Poland, an infectious
disease specialist at the Mayo
Clinic.
The ip side of that, he said,
is that this will be a confusing
year as doctors and consumers
alike try to choose.
Federal health ofcials recom-
mend a yearly u vaccine for near-
ly everyone, starting at 6 months
of age. On average, about 24,000
Americans die each flu season,
according to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention.
Some questions and answers
about the different vaccine vari-
eties to choose from:
Q: Whats the difference
between those new four-strain
vaccines and the regular kind?
A: For more than 30 years, the
vaccine has offered protection
against three inuenza strains
two common Type Astrains called
H1N1 and H3N2, and one strain of
Type B. Flu strains continually
evolve, and the recipe for each
years vaccine includes the sub-
types of those strains that experts
consider most likely to cause ill-
ness that winter.
Type A u causes more serious
disease and deaths, especially the
H3N2 form that made last year
such a nasty u season. But the
milder Type B u does sicken peo-
ple every year as well, and can
kill. Two distinct Type B families
circulate the globe, making it dif-
cult to know which to include in
each years vaccine. Adding both
solves the guesswork, and a CDC
model estimates it could prevent
as many as 485 deaths a year
depending on how much Type B u
is spreading.
Q: How can I tell if Im getting
the four-strain vaccine?
A: All of the nasal spray ver-
sion sold in the U.S. this year will
be this new variety, called FluMist
Quadrivalent. The catch is that the
nasal vaccine is only for healthy
people ages 2 to 49 who arent
pregnant.
If you prefer a u shot, ask the
doctor or pharmacist if the four-
strain kind is available. Younger
children, older adults, pregnant
women and people with chronic
health conditions all can use u
shots. Four-strain versions are
sold under the names Fluzone
Quadrivalent, Fluarix Quadrivalent
and FluLaval Quadrivalent.
Manufacturers anticipate pro-
ducing between 135 million and
139 million doses of u vaccine
this year. Only about 30 million
doses will offer the four-strain
protection.
Q: Who should seek it?
A: Type B u tends to strike
children more than the middle-
aged, Poland noted. And he said
its not a bad idea for seniors, who
are more vulnerable to inuenza in
general. But the CDC doesnt rec-
ommend one vaccine variety over
another, and the American
Academy of Pediatrics said either
kind is ne just get vaccinated.
Q: How are these new vaccines
different from the high-dose u
shot for seniors?
A: Fluzone High-Dose protects
against the traditional three
strains of u, but it quadruples the
standard vaccine dose in an effort
to rev up age-weakened immune
systems dont respond as actively
to regular u shots.
The government calls the high-
dose shot an option for seniors,
not one thats proved better. Last
week, Sano Pasteur said initial
results from a study of
30,000 seniors vacci-
nated over the past
two u seasons sug-
gest the high-dose
shot is about 24 per-
cent more effective.
Federal health offi-
cials will have to review the full
study results to see if they agree.
Q: What if Im allergic to eggs?
A: Traditional flu vaccine is
made from viruses grown in eggs,
and specialists say its usually not
a problem unless someone has a
serious egg allergy. But the new
FluBlok vaccine eliminates that
concern because it is made with
cell technology, like many other
nonu vaccines. So far, its only
for use in people ages 18 to 49.
Q: What if Im scared of nee-
dles?
A: If you dont qualify for the
ouchless nasal spray vaccine, there
is one shot made with a teeny-tiny
needle that pricks the skin instead
of muscle. Called Fluzone
Intradermal, its available for 18-
to 64-year-olds, and protects
against the usual three strains.
Q: How soon should I be vacci-
nated?
A: Early fall is ideal, as its
impossible to predict when u will
start spreading and it takes about
two weeks for protection to kick
in. But later isnt too late; u sea-
son typically peaks in January or
February.
Q: How much does u vaccine
cost?
A: The vaccine is covered by
insurance, and Medicare and some
plans dont require a copay.
Drugstore vaccination programs
tend to charge about $30; expect
the quadrivalent versions to be
slightly more expensive.

Some u vaccines promise a little more protection
CHICAGO When city students arrived
for the rst day of school under the blazing
temperatures of a Midwest heat wave, staff
greeted them with some unusual school sup-
plies: water bottles, fans and wet towels to
drape around their necks.
What they couldnt always offer was air
conditioning.
Its kind of hard to focus because every-
one was sweating, said Deniyah Jones, a
12-year-old 7th-grader at Nash Elementary
School on Chicagos West Side, which has
just a few window units for the entire
fortress-like brick and stone building.
This years late August heat exposed a
tug-of-war in school districts that are under
pressure to start school earlier than ever but
are unable to pay to equip aging buildings
with air conditioning. Parents who worry
hot classrooms are a disadvantage for their
kids are issuing an ultimatum: Make classes
cooler or start the year later.
Thinking about air conditioning we
cant even afford new textbooks, said
Bement Community Unit School District
Superintendent Sheila Greenwood, who
oversees a tiny district of 380 students about
20 miles southwest of Champaign, Ill.
Many people can recall school days spent
inside ancient, brick-construction build-
ings that on sweltering days seemed as hot
as pizza ovens. But hot classrooms are
becoming a bigger problem for schools
than in years past, and increasingly, get-
ting a heat day is as common for students
as a snow day.
As temperatures soared past 90 last week,
some Midwest schools gave students extra
water and bathroom breaks or canceled
after-school activities. Districts from St.
Joseph, Mo., and Frankfort, Ind., sent kids
home early. In Fargo, N.D., ve schools
got the week off, and schools in
Minneapolis closed down, too.
I was up on the third oor and it was 93.8
degrees in the classroom and the kids hadnt
been there in hours, said Matt Patton,
superintendent of a one-school district in
Baxter, Iowa. You put 20 bodies in there
and it will go up to at least 95 and you can
imagine all the sweat on the desks and text-
books.
For years, schools have been moving to
start the year in late or mid-August rather
than just after Labor Day, when it is typi-
cally cooler. Part of the reason is that
schools need more training days for stan-
dardized testing and new academic stan-
dards. Holiday breaks have also grown
longer, and administrators say the only
direction they can go is back into August.
In Chicago, starting a week earlier is part
of Mayor Rahm Emanuels strategy to
improve education in the nations third-
largest school district by getting students
in school longer. Air conditioning isnt
part of that plan.
The last estimate was over a billion dol-
lars, said Becky Carroll, a spokeswoman
for Chicagos district of 700 schools.
Those arent dollars we have.
The concerns go beyond comfort.
Excessive heat makes the body work harder
to maintain the ideal 98.6 temperature, and
that can cause people to feel sluggish. Some
worry that makes it hard to learn. Sweating
helps cool things down, but children sweat
less than adults, so heat can affect them
more quickly.
I was speaking with teachers yesterday
and they said there were students who had to
leave early, students with bloody noses,
students (who) had fainting spells or fell
asleep in the classroom, said Chicago
state Rep. La Shawn Ford, who received a
number of complaints after the start of
school. Its just not a learning environ-
ment.
Some studies have also shown that stu-
dents in classrooms with air conditioning
do better on achievement tests than those in
classroom that dont. Vic Zimmerman, the
school superintendent in the central
Illinois community of Monticello, said
there is simply no point in keeping kids in
class. Some of his districts students were
given Popsicles just to get them through
morning reading time.
They become a little bit lethargic, he
said.
Parents are beginning to push back.
Sioux City, Iowa, schools decided to move
the start of school a week later next year
after getting an earful, school board presi-
dent Mike Krysl said. And a parent group in
North Dakota is looking to launch a ballot
measure requiring schools to start after
Labor Day, said Jeff Schatz, the Fargo
school superintendent.
Those measures havent always been suc-
cessful elsewhere.
In Iowa, lawmakers enacted legislation
that requires school districts wait until
September to open. But the law allows dis-
tricts to obtain a waiver to start early, and
all but 10 of the states 346 school districts
did just that. Indiana lawmakers have tried
unsuccessfully for years to push the start of
the school year back to after Labor Day, but
have run into resistance from schools who
have scheduling concerns and local ofcials
who think the state shouldnt control the
school calendar.
Even in places that have decided to install
air conditioning, the process is anything
but quick. In St. Joseph, Mo., roughly two
thirds of the district schools lack air condi-
tioning, though many will get it in the next
two years after the community approved a
plan that includes $5 million for air condi-
tioning.
There was some pushback from people
who were saying When we were kids we
went to school without air conditioning,
why cant these kids? said Barbara Moore,
the school board president at the time.
Chicago parents believe that the issue is
more about inequality. Some schools in the
city are air conditioned, some partially, and
others not at all.

Heat days become more common for sweaty schools
total of around 160 students. This is
two and half more classes than last
year. The district plans on adding
more classes next year.
Teacher Barbara Hernandez taught
transitional kindergarten last year at
Beresford Elementary School and has
moved over to George Hall
Elementary School to continue teach-
ing transitional kindergarten. She has
taught in the district for seven years
and applied to be a transitional kinder-
garten teacher after years as a kinder-
garten teacher. George Hall began
school July 31.
I saw this as an opportunity to go
back to how kindergarten used to be
when I first started teaching it,
Hernandez said. Kindergarten has
gotten very academic and it feels like
rst grade now. The standards have
been raised and theyre upping what
kids should know. This is more free-
ing for myself; theres not so much
pressure.
She is excited to be on the forefront
of something and likes helping the
children be ready to sit and focus on
academics when kindergarten rolls
around, Hernandez said.
Alicia Heneghan, administrator of
the transitional kindergarten program
for the San Mateo-Foster City
Elementary School District, said the
districts program is very focused on
social and emotional development.
Teachers also focus on self-regulation,
motor skills and academic skills.
One core portion of the students
days is learning centers, which
Heneghan calls structured opportuni-
ties for interpersonal play. Students
rotate between teacher-directed and
student-initiated centers which
involve play-based centers like doll-
houses, trains, kitchen and Legos,
academic centers with math, a listen-
ing center, as well as writing, comput-
er and library time.
Transitional kindergarten students
share the same school hours as kinder-
garten students at the schools. For
example, at George Hall, these grades
attend school from 8 a.m. to 12:25
p.m.
Ernesto Saldana, vice president of
Early Edge California, an advocacy
organization focused on increasing
access to high-quality preschool pro-
grams, said San Mateo County has
been a model for how to run transi-
tional kindergarten.
One thing thats really important
is that San Mateo has been a model for
high quality preschool and has under-
stood the value of bridging preschool
and kindergarten, Saldana said.
Thats something thats been strong
all along. Theyve done a really good
job of implementing transitional
kindergarten, along with supporting
and rening curriculum to raise the
quality of transitional kindergarten.
His organization is partnering with
the San Mateo County Office of
Education to host a Transitional
Kindergarten Implementation
Conference in November. The
Northern California Transitional
Kindergarten Conference will be a
professional development opportuni-
ty for teachers and administrators.
As transitional kindergarten
expands and the program grows, we
expect to see the number of eligible 5-
year-olds enrolled in transitional
kindergarten to increase, Saldana
said. Were excited to see it continue
to roll out and serve more children
over the next two years.

Scott Laurence, superintendent of
the San Mateo Union High School
District, gave himself an October
2013 deadline to nd a more central
location before submitting his recom-
mendations to the Board of Trustees.
The board has discussed the 1240
Bayshore Highway address, currently
houses the ECC International corpora-
tions ofces, in closed session.
John Kevranian, owner of Nuts for
Candy at 1214 Broadway in
Burlingame, said his concern would be
the zoning there and also police
resources if a school were to be put in
on Bayshore.
Are we going to need extra police
resources for it? Kevranian said.
How are these kids going to get to
east side of freeway? Its unsafe hav-
ing kids walk over railroad tracks.
Why are they [the school district] not
approaching the citizens of
Burlingame?
Since the topic has only been dis-
cussed in closed session meetings,
Laurence said he can only publicly dis-
cuss certain information.
If we get into active negotiations
with folks, we wont want to negotiate
in public because publicly we dont
want to reveal nancial information,
Laurence said. Buying property does-
nt happen quickly. If something seri-
ous were to happen and we were close
to making a purchase, we would talk
about zoning with the city of
Burlingame to be good citizens.
Bill Meeker, community develop-
ment director for Burlingame, said its
an interesting situation since the pub-
lic school district is a separate gov-
ernment entity and can exclude itself
from city regulations such as zoning.
Zoning dont allow schools of any
sort out in Bayshore, Meeker said.
From a professional standpoint, Im
not supportive of the idea because we
went through a planning effort in mid-
2000s there and the policy in area pro-
motes office buildings and hotels.
From a land use and policy perspec-
tive, it doesnt allow new residential
schools of that sort, which will be
more demanding of public services. It
would be benecial for the district to
approach the city and discuss this.
Councilwoman Terry Nagel noted
that services to support a school are
lacking in the Bayshore area and also
shared concerned about people cross-
ing back and forth across the train
tracks to pick up their kids.
Administration ofces would not be
a big concern since the area is zoned
for office space, said Councilman
Michael Brownrigg.
Mayor Ann Keighran said she would
like the city to be involved in the dis-
tricts purchasing process.
You would hope they would have
respect and courtesy to talk to the
city, said Mayor Ann Keighran. I
will say I have constituents who are
very concerned.

home to store council-related
paperwork like budgets and gener-
al plans and said its an effort to
weed the amount down to t. Wi t h
her iPad 4 in hand now she looks
forward to a future without the
challenge.
Now I wont have to worry
about, Where did I put that
paper? she said.
Easy access to current agendas
and even past paperwork was a
driving reason for the purchases,
said City Manager Jeff Maltbie.
Speed of delivering agenda
packets and costs were another.
Maltbie said the costs of the iPads
were around $5,500, just shy of
the roughly $6,000 spent annual-
ly on printing packets that aver-
age 300 pages.
Each device is outtted with a
software package that allows users
to annotate and write notes.
Maltbie said the Planning
Commission might eventually be
next in line for the tablets since
its work is also paper intensive
but nothing is planned at this
time.
The five councilmembers
received the gadgets a few weeks
back so they could be trained by
the city clerk and get comfortable
before using them the rst time at
last Monday nights meeting.
Its kind of cool, said
Councilman Ron Collins
although he said hes nding some
glitches with attachments.
Mayor Bob Grassilli joked that
Collins had trouble finding the
plug on his iPad at the meeting.
It only has four sides, he said.
Collins also concedes still lik-
ing to read his packet on paper.
Councilman Matt Grocott said the
same. Aself-professed fan of writ-
ing notes in book margi ns,
Grocott said hes using a hybrid
method of iPad and paper.
Grassilli is also not an immedi-
ate convert to the iPad I like
turning the pages but said its
mainly because he hasnt had time
to sit down and gure it all out.
Its just a matter of getting
acclimated. If I were in the work-
ing world Id have been acclimated
a long time ago. All of this fancy-
schmancy stuff is becoming com-
monplace and hey, it pays for
itself in the rst year, Grassilli
said.
San Carlos adoption also fol-
lows similar iPad adoption by
other governmental bodies like
the Redwood City Council.
Not every San Carlos coun-
cilmember was new to the iPad.
Vice Mayor Mark Olbert uses
both a Surface and iPad and will
use his personal device for council
business rather than accepting
one from the city.
Clapper is also familiar, having
an iPad mini, but admitted keep-
ing a backup plan for notes at the
last council meeting. She slipped
the iPad into her notebook folio
and thought of pulling out the
paper so that she quit cold
turkey.
But at the last minute, Clapper
said she chickened out.
And did she need paper after all?
Not at all, she said.

PAPER
By Jake Coyle
NEW YORK In the end,
Hollywood made it through a pre-
carious mineeld of summer box-
ofce bombs with a heftier wallet.
The summer concluded with a
record $4.7 billion in box-ofce
revenue despite much maligned
flops like The Lone Ranger,
After Earth and White House
Down.
The summer movie season
closed out on Labor Day weekend
as the boy band concert lm One
Direction: This Is Us took in an
estimated $18 million from Friday
to Monday for Sony Pictures,
according to studio estimates
Monday. That wasnt enough to
unseat the Weinstein Co. histori-
cal drama Lee Daniels The
Butler, which stayed on top for
the third week with $20 million.
It was a positive note on which
to end a tumultuous but protable
summer for Hollywood. More than
ever before, the industry packed
the summer months with big-
budget blockbusters that ranged
from the hugely successful Iron
Man 3 to the disastrous The
Lone Ranger. Though the movie
business has always been one of
hits and misses, this summer
brought particular attention to
some big whiffs.
Yet the box ofce saw a 10.2
percent increase in revenue over
last summer (not accounting for
ination), with attendance rising
6.6 percent. Aportion of the rev-
enue bump could be attributed to
rising ticket prices which, on
average, went up 27 cents from
last year.
But the plethora of major releas-
es a more than 50 percent
increase from last year in lms
costing $75 million or more to
make meant moviegoers had a
parade of highly-marketed, big-
budget options through the early,
most sought-after weeks of the
summer. That meant faster block-
buster turnover that may have
been better for the industry as a
whole, but often came at the
expense of individual lms.
It was one of the most interest-
ing summers Ive ever seen, said
Paul Dergarabedian, analyst for
box-office tracker
Hollywood.com. It was this mix
of great news and bad news at the
same time.
So what to make a summer
(which is considered to run from
the rst weekend in May to Labor
Day) that often seemed like a
weekly punch line but ended up
doing robust business overall?
The lessons were hard to deduce.
The biggest hit of the summer
was Disneys Iron Man 3, which
made $408.6 million domestical-
ly and $1.2 billion worldwide.
Disney gave some of that back,
though, with Gore Verbinskis
The Lone Ranger, which took in
just $88.4 million in North
America despite costing more
than $215 million to make.
(Studios split box-ofce revenue
in half with theater owners.)
Despite successes like Warner
Bros. Man of Steel, Universals
Despicable Me 2 and
Paramounts World War Z, The
Lone Ranger became the masked
face of Hollywoods summer. It
was the most spectacular flop
among many others, including
Turbo, After Earth, White
House Down, The Wolverine
and The Hangover Part III.
John Fithian, president of the
National Association of Theater
Owners, applauded the record sum-
mer revenue as a sign of industry
strength but suggested studios are
jamming too many blockbuster
releases into too narrow of a sum-
mertime window. This summer fol-
lowed an especially poor rst quar-
ter for the box ofce.
A few of those lms suffered
because of the congestion, said
Fithian. I would encourage stu-
dios to look at some of those
other months. In January and
February of this year, we had very
little product. We had very few big
budget movies. Maybe one of the
takeaways of the summer is:
Weve got a whole bunch of
movies, lets spread a few of them
out a bit more and take advantage
of the whole calendar.
Studios, though, consider the
rst few months of summer to be,
as Dergarabedian says, prime-
time when kids are out of
school and movies have the widest
audience possible.
I dont think anythings going
to change, says Dergarabedian.
Rather, he says, The lesson is:
Try to keep the costs down.
That worked for several low or
medium budget horror lms this
summer, including The
Conjuring and The Purge.
Several less expensive comedies
also succeeded, like Seth Rogans
apocalyptic romp This Is the
End, Jason Sudeikis road trip
farce Were the Millers and the
summers top comedy, The Heat,
with Melissa McCarthy and
Sandra Bullock.
Some, like Sharlto Copley, who
co-stars in the science-fiction
thriller Elysium ($178 million
worldwide on a $115 million budg-
et) hoped some of the summers
high-cost misres would push the
studios to devote more resources to
other types of lms. Even Steven
Spielberg, generally considered
the father of the modern block-
buster, made headlines when he
said Hollywood would implode if
it continued to focus only on big-
ger and bigger blockbusters.
The opportunity to do some-
thing original and on a very big
scale seems to be getting rarer and
rarer these days, said Copley.
Maybe if you have a few more bad
times, youll see the studios
investing in smaller projects.
But the top six lms of the sum-
mer were all sequels or part of
existing franchises, including
Monsters University and Fast
and Furious 6. The high cost of
marketing a lm (which can rival
or surpass production costs for
summer tentpole releases) also
makes it likely studios will con-
tinue to increasingly depend on
summer popcorn fare.
North American box-ofce per-
formance is only part of the story,
anyway. The robot-monster clash
Pacic Rim, made for $190 mil-
lion, was considered one of the
summers failures after opening
with $37.2 million domestically.
But its made more than $404 mil-
lion worldwide.
Despite the bombs, Hollywood posts a record summer

national).

DO YOU HAVE KNEE PAIN?
Experience relief with advanced, non-surgical treatments.
Do you wake up with
knee pain?
Does knee pain limit your
level of activity?
Has your doctor
recommended surgery?
Do you have pain when
walking up or down
stairs?
Have you run out of
options to relieve your
pain?
If you answered yes to
any of these questions,
you are a candidate
for our non-invasive
treatment program.
Meet Dr. Brian Mitchell
Millions of individuals give up their
active lifestyle to knee pain because they
feel they are too young for major surgery.
I am here to tell you theres an effective
and FDA approved alternative to surgery.
If you suffer from any degree of knee pain,
I invite you to regain control of your life by
visiting our state of the art facility.
How Do We Treat Knee Pain?
We use a non-invasive, multi-
disciplinary approach to provide
complete care and dramatically
improve patients results. We cus-
tomize our treatment programs for
every individual. This may include
visco-supplementation to lubricate
the joint, individualized rehabili-
tation to strengthen the muscles
surrounding the injury, or bracing
for stabilization and support.
What Is visco-
supplementation?
Visco-supplementation, also known
as joint therapy, supplements the
knee with a natural occurring sub-
stance called hyaluronic acid that
is often decient in arthritic knees.
This lubricates the knee joint to
reduce friction between the bones
of the knee to provide signicant
pain relief.
Why is individualized reha-
bilitation Important?
The muscles surrounding the
injury can become weak and stiff
making it difficult to do everyday
tasks. Individualized rehabilita-
tion reduces inflammation and
increases range of motion, flex-
ibility and strength.
Will I feel better right away?
Most patients feel relief in a matter
of weeks and can go back to their
daily activities.
Will insurance cover
the cost?
Yes, most insurance providers and
Medicare will cover treatment upon
approval of your benets.
Are the treatments
successful?
Weve treated thousands of patients
and over 90% have experienced
signicant pain relief and regained
mobility.
How will I know if this
is right for me?
If youre suffering from knee pain,
your rst step is an evaluation with
Dr. Brian Mitchell.
What are patients saying?
I arrived to my rst appointment in a wheelchair because I couldnt bear any weight on my right
leg. The physician and therapists worked together to create a plan specically for me. I quickly
progressed from a wheelchair, to a walker, to a cane, to full weight on my leg. The treatments and
one-on-one rehabilitation gave me my life back. Diana V., Huntington Beach, CA
