ISRAEL-PALESTINIAN TALKS ON GAZA UNDERWAY IN CAIRO
By Michelle Durand

Holding all-mail ballot elections in San
Mateo County will cut down on cost, speed
up returns and potentially push up voter
turnout, according to local ofcials keeping
their ngers crossed that a proposed bill
allowing the practice meets with gubernato-
rial approval.
The bill authored by
Assemblyman Kevin
Mullin, D-South San
Francisco, passed the
Legislature Monday and
now awaits Gov. Jerry
Browns signature or
veto.
Im pretty excited
about this one. There
have been multiple legislative attempts
over the years and we nally got it across
the finish line at least as far as the
Legislature is concerned, Mullin said.
All-mail ballots eliminate the need for
poll workers and let voters make their
choices at their convenience. On Election
night, more ballots will be counted imme-
diately after the polls close at 8 p.m.
which translates into knowing more
quickly who and what won.
Mark Church, San Mateo County chief
elections ofcer, said he is strongly com-
mitted to participating in the pilot and noted
similar to former chief elections ofcer
Warren Slocum, now a county supervisor
that the possible implementation of all-mail
ballots has been a long time coming.

Merge solution
for interchange

San Mateo, Caltrans collaborate on State
Route 92/El Camino Real improvement
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Caltrans and the city of San Mateo are continuing to col-
laborate on coming up with a solution to the hazardous
merge between State Route 92 and El Camino Real by con-
structing new partial cloverleaf ramps at one of the citys
busiest intersections.
Last month, the City Council agreed to enter into a coop-
erative agreement with Caltrans whereby San Mateo would
contribute $2.75 million to assist in the nal design stages
of the project, according to a city staff report.
The layout was constructed nearly 50 years ago and the
short interchange section between the two state highways
makes entering and exiting a challenge, causes the roads to
back up and can be hazardous to pedestrians.
Caltrans and the city have chosen to modify the ramps by
turning the current full cloverleaf design into a partial

Nude political candidate
campaigns in Times Square
NEW YORK New York Citys
Naked Cowboy may have met his
match.
San Francisco Board of Supervisors
candidate George Davis stripped buck
naked in Times Square on Wednesday to
campaign for the right to be nude in
public.
Davis spoke out against a 2013 San
Francisco public nudity ban introduced
by his opponent, Scott Wiener. He says
nudity is a form of expression.
After Davis speech he conducted
interviews stark naked. Then he walked
to where artist Andy Golub was body-
painting another naked man.
Times Square Batmans and Elmos and
other onlookers gawked, laughed and
took photos while moving out of
Davis way. One man loudly read Bible
passages.
Davis ran for mayor in 2007 and for
District 10 supervisor in 2010. He has
been arrested twice for public nudity.
Officer kills man who
tried to set woman on fire
BAKERSFIELD Authorities in
Central California say a police ofcer
shot and killed a man who splashed
gasoline on a woman and tried setting
her on re.
Sgt. Joe Grubbs of the Bakerseld
Police Department said Wednesday that
the ofcer shot the man at a gas station
when it appeared he had a gun in his
hand; the object turned out to be a bicy-
cle lock. The man was shot once in the
body and died at a hospital.
Grubbs tells the Bakersfield
Californian that the man had been at
the gas station for about three hours,
knocking things over and acting errat-
ically.
Grubbs says the man pumped gas on
the ground and then splashed the
woman, whom the man didnt know.
Police say the man then tried setting
the woman on re with a lighter.
Insurer pays off lawsuit
with thousands in coins
LOS ANGELES An insurance com-
pany settled a lawsuit with a Los
Angeles man by dropping off buckets
full of thousands of quarters, nickels,
dimes and pennies, his attorney said
Wednesday.
Andres Carrasco, 76, led a lawsuit in
2012 against Adrianas Insurance
Services, a Rancho Cucamonga-based
company.
The East Los Angeles man alleged
that during an argument over why the
company had cancelled his auto insur-
ance, an agent assaulted him by physi-
cally removing him from the ofce.
The company reached a settlement
in June and last week delivered par-
tial payment in the form of a check,
but also tried to leave buckets of
loose change in his lawyers East
Los Angeles office, attorney
Antonio Gallo said.
Gallo said he refused to accept the
delivery because he couldnt verify the
amount in the buckets. But, he said, the
cash was left the next day when he was
at court.
His assistant said eight people came
in and just dropped it off in the
lobby, Gallo said.
Gallo, who wouldnt disclose the set-
tlement gure, estimated there may be
$20,000 or more in coins.
Theres maybe 17 buckets of coins,
he said. They probably (each) weigh
anywhere between 70 to 100 pounds.
Im assuming, because I cant lift
them.
One bucket is entirely full of pen-
nies, he added.
Gallo said he didnt think the pay-
ment was illegal in California but it is
unique.
Its insulting to my client. Hes 76
years old, he just had a hernia opera-
tion. Come on, Gallo said. He feels
that he wasnt treated as a human
being.
I am disappointed by the way
Adrianas treats their customers and the
elderly, Carrasco told KNBC-TV. We
might be poor, but we are people too.
Acall to the insurers attorney, Edvin
Flores, wasnt immediately returned
Gallo said he has been in contact
with the companys attorney and would
like to see the insurer issue a check for
the rest of the settlement and take away
the coins by Friday.

The Daly City man who ed the scene after
causing a drunken high-speed crash in
Colma last year that killed three passengers
including his girlfriend was sentenced
Wednesday to 15 years in prison.
Paul Michael Anthony Diaz, 26, pleaded
no contest in June to three counts of gross
vehicular manslaughter, drunk driving and
hit-and-run in the May 27, 2013, crash that
killed Ruvin Abel Vazquez, 22, Jonathan
Jade Mouton, 21, and Rosa Maria Falla, 23,
all of Daly City. Falla and Diaz were dating.
Diaz earned 873 days credit against his
term while in custody on $1 million bail and
must serve half the remaining time.
Although Judge Barbara Mallach offered
Diaz a 15-year indicated maximum sentence
when he accepted the plea
deal, prosecutor Sean
Gallagher sought the full
20 years he faced.
Prior to handing down
the sentence, Mallach
heard from Diaz who said
he left the scene to get
help although he never
called police, Gallagher
said.
Gallagher said Diaz also maintained he
wasnt speeding or intoxicated.
He just doesnt get that he did anything
wrong, Gallagher said.
Prosecutors say Diaz was speeding in his
Mustang on Hillside Boulevard near the
Cypress Lawn Funeral Home at 90-plus mph
when he crashed into the back of a Honda,
pushing it into a cemetery while he lost
control and smashed into a retaining wall.
The Mustang split in two, ejecting the three
passengers. Diaz allegedly approached
Fallas body after the crash before running
away. The Hondas driver was not seriously
injured.
He surrendered to Daly City police about
ve hours later which left authorities deter-
mining his blood alcohol level based on a
scientic formula.
Prosecutors originally looked at increas-
ing the charges against Diaz to murder but
opted against doing so after weighing fac-
tors like his driving record and the short
amount of time he was driving before he lost
control. Diaz has a prior misdemeanor drunk
driving conviction.
Mallach also ordered Diaz to pay one vic-
tim $26,460 in restitution and amounts to
be determined to seven others.
Members of Diazs and the victims fami-
lies also addressed the court.

Two plead no contest to
South City home break-in
Two men pleaded no contest Tuesday to
charges stemming from a February robbery
at a house in South San Francisco, San
Mateo County prosecutors said.
Enrique Cruz, 19, pleaded no contest to
robbery charges, and Percibal Alberto, 19,
entered the plea to a residential burglary
charge, according to the District Attorneys
Ofce.
The pair will return to court on Nov. 6 for
sentencing.
Prosecutors said the defendants on Feb. 10
planned the daytime burglary of a residence
of a juvenile they knew on Commercial
Way.
Prosecutors said Cruz and Alberto entered
the residence not knowing the juvenile who
lived there and two friends had skipped
school and were in a bedroom playing video
games.
The defendants rummaged through the res-
idence, forced open a locked door to the bed-
room where the three juveniles had hidden
and Cruz pulled a knife and demanded prop-
erty from them, prosecutors said.
The defendants took several items and ed
the residence.
Prosecutors said investigators later dis-
covered the stolen items in Cruzs home.
Whales feeding close to shore
Marine ofcials are warning ships, small
boats and people on the water to stay well
away from federally protected whales that
have been spotted feeding close to the San
Francisco shoreline.
Endangered humpback whales as well as
minke whales have been spotted off of
Ocean Beach over the last few days, drawn
by sh close to the shore, according to
Mary Jane Schramm, spokeswoman for the
Gulf of the Farallones National Marine
Sanctuary, a division of the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Harassing any whale carries federal penal-
ties, and humpback whales are additionally
protected under the Endangered Species Act,
Schramm said.
Boaters are urged to stay at least 300 feet
away from whales to reduce the threat of dan-
gerous boat strikes and harassment, which
could result in thousands of dollars in feder-
al nes and possible jail time, according to
Schramm.
Residents can still enjoy the sight of
whales so close to shore, even while taking
precautions, Schramm said.
Theyre putting on a great show,
Schramm said.

Both the Transportation Security
Administration and Mineta San Jose airport
officials want to send a message that
Mondays successful stowaway excursion
should not be considered a security breach.
On Monday, Marilyn Hartman was able to
y from San Jose to Los Angeles without a
boarding pass, and was arrested on arrival
by Los Angeles airport police around 11
p.m.
According to San Mateo County District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe, the 62-year-old
Hartman has made six previous failed
attempts to board a plane from that airport.
Authorities have issued a restraining order
against her.
During one of her rst stowaway attempts
in February, Wagstaffe said Hartman actual-
ly boarded a ight, but was not allowed to
y.
After her fourth failed attempt, Wagstaffe
said she was placed into a mental health
probation program on May 23. However,
subsequent attempts to board ights, on
July 14 and 25 caused her to be in violation
of her probation.
Referring to her ight
from San Jose on
Monday, Mineta
spokesperson Rosemary
Barnes said, This was
not a security breach.
TSA screened the passen-
ger for prohibited items.
She said that the TSA
and Southwest Airlines
are now investigating
how the un-ticketed passenger was able to
board the plane.
Barnes said that in this case, despite
Hartmans successful endeavor, public
safety was not compromised.
TSA spokesman Nico Melendez said
Wednesday afternoon that the agency is
now instituting minor modifications to
the layout of the document checking area to
prevent another incident like this one.
However, Melendez said he could not
elaborate on the specific modifications
being made.
Hartman was arraigned Wednesday morn-
ing in Los Angeles airport court Dept. 141.

California sees first
two West Nile deaths of year
SACRAMENTO California has recorded
its rst two deaths of the year from the mos-
quito-borne West Nile virus.
State Department of Public Health Director
Ron Chapman said Wednesday that both the
people who died were adults, one from
Sacramento County and the other from
Shasta County.
They were among the 35 Californians who
have been diagnosed with West Nile in
2014, according to health ofcials. Sixteen
of the cases were reported to the state this
week.
Only 18 people had contracted the virus
by this time last year.
West Virus is transmitted to humans and
animals by infected mosquitoes. Chapman
says residents can take steps to protect
themselves by staying away from standing
pools of water and wearing chemical insect
repellant.
Lawmakers defend Citizens
United advisory measure
SACRAMENTO California lawmakers
acted within their authority in seeking vot-

2010 Citizens United campaign nance rul-
ing, attorneys for the Legislature wrote
Wednesday.
In a response led with the California
Supreme Court, the attorneys defended a
nonbinding advisory measure scheduled for

The Legislature was acting well within its
essential lawmaking function of determin-
ing and formulating legislative policy and
was engaging in a practice that has a long-
standing and unchallenged historical prece-
dent, the attorneys said.
Last month, the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers
Association challenged Proposition 49, try-
ing to remove it from the ballot. The associ-
ation petitioned the states highest court
after an appellate court refused to block the
measure on a 2-1 vote.

The sole corporate ofcer for a Brisbane
car dealership defrauded the state of more
than $273,000 in sales tax owed on sold
vehicles, according to prosecutors who
charged him this week with six felonies
Adrian H. M. Yik, of Daly City, worked
for Elegant Auto Group and between January
2008 and December 2010 intentionally
withheld $273,307 in sales tax, said
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
The Board of Equalization reportedly
uncovered the fraud by comparing docu-
ments Yik submitted to
the Department of Motor
Vehicles about the sales
to the numbers he sub-
mitted to the agency.
Prosecutors charged
Yik, 35, with three
counts each of tax eva-
sion and grand theft. He
pleaded not guilty to all
felonies and did not
waive his right to a speedy trial. He returns
to court Aug. 18 for a preliminary hearing.
If convicted, Yik faces about seven years
and eight months in prison, Wagstaffe said.
Defense attorney Paul DeMeester said he
is still getting acquainted with the case but
believes at least two of the six charges fall
outside of the statute of limitations.
His rst goal is getting his client out of
custody and on Aug. 8 will seek to lower his
$500,000 bail which he called high for the
case.
This is an accusation of not paying sales
tax during a period of time a fairly long time
ago. Were not talking about an ongoing
thing or something that threatens public
safety, DeMeester said.
Wagstaffe said the $500,000 amount was
set for the arrest warrant.

SITES Republican and Democratic law-
makers who support increasing funding for
water-storage projects made their case
Wednesday at the site of a proposed reservoir
in what is now a scenic agricultural valley
north of Sacramento, addressing one of the
main sticking points to getting a re-crafted
water bond on the November ballot.
Assembly Minority Leader Connie
Conway said additional water storage is
Republicans top priority. The GOP will be
comfortable with the $11.1 billion water
bond currently on the November ballot rather
than agreeing to a stripped-down, $6 billion
replacement version proposed by Gov. Jerry
Brown, she said.
The bond lays out funding for a variety of
water projects, including cleaning up ground-
water contamination, recycling programs
and restoring watershed ecosystems. The
governors version reduces funding for new
and expanded reservoirs by $1 billion.
Storage is integral, said Conway, R-
Tulare, standing in the backyard of a ranch-
ers home that would be voluntarily demol-
ished for the reservoir. You can talk about
restoration of the delta, you can talk about
recycling, you can talk about all the things
you want to do. That takes water.
Rancher Mary Wells led four lawmakers and
legislative staff on a tour through the parched
valley where the Sites Reservoir has been
considered for decades. The reservoir would
draw Sacramento River water through canals
instead of disrupting the river ow outright,
which backers say allays typical concerns
about disturbing wildlife.
Storage supporters have also prized a new
dam on the San Joaquin River above Fresno,
known as the Temperance Flats project.
The Democratic governor has said he wants
to minimize any new state bond debt, while
lawmakers of both parties say his plan does-
nt do enough to address the states pressing
water needs. Brown plans to talk with law-
makers throughout the week about a revamped
water bond, the governors spokesman, Evan
Westrup, told reporters Wednesday.
Time is running out. The Legislature and
governor have only two or three weeks to
replace the current water bond on the
November ballot, which was negotiated by a
different set of lawmakers in 2009 under
then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Water-bond talks hinge on
money for water storage
Storage is integral. ...You can talk about restoration of
the delta, you can talk about recycling, you can talk
about all the things you want to do.That takes water.

MILLBRAE I
recently read an
article in the trade
journal American
Funeral Director
about the famous
quote by the late
Sir William Ewart
Gladstone, the celebrated English four term
Prime Minister who was known for his
colorful oratories and speeches on the floor
of Parliament. This 19
th
century statesman
was renowned for many unique sayings, but
he is most noted among Funeral Directors
for saying this: Show me the manner in
which a nation cares for its dead, and I will
measure with mathematical exactness the
tender mercies of its people, their respect for
the laws of the land and their loyalty to high
ideals. This quote is very lyrical and well
thought out. It has become a long time
custom for many Funeral Homes to display
this quote on a plaque for all to see. The
meaning is obvious and is a direct
comparison between caring for our fallen
loved ones and the way we care for
ourselves, our community and our society.
To many observers it may appear that
weve lost the motivation to care for our
loved ones in a proper way, and that our
society has become misguided. Taking into
consideration the way our government
leaders sometimes act, without the maturity
to function unselfishly, is disturbing, and the
reasons they got elected can be alarming.
Also, in the eyes of logical people violence
should be against our nature, but seemingly
is embedded in our way of life. It is topsy-
turvy for a culture to view cruelty and tribal
brutality as a form of normality, and for love
to be viewed as an obscenity.
Yes, some say our society is falling apart,
but looking at the overall big picture I see
most people yearning to live a peaceful and
courteous life with those around them. Most
people are not violent. Most people want to
be accepted. Most people want to be happy.
Remember that hate is taught.
Wouldnt it make more sense for love to
be taught? Teaching youngsters to be
curious and to enjoy the differences of
those around them would be a good start.
They say that its hard to teach old dogs new
tricks. But old dogs will not be here forever,
and with effort every young dog could be
cultivated with ideals for supporting others
with respect. Putting this into practice may
seem daunting, but its not impossible and
over time could be valuable for our future.
Humanity has always been burdened with
a good percentage of bad guys. But, all in
all, the ideals that the majority of us value
and strive to promote, life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, are shared in our core.
Going back to Gladstones quote, I see
the vast majority of the families we serve at
the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS
deeply committed to doing the right thing
for their loved ones. They come to us with a
desire for closure and to enact final tributes
for those theyve cherished. Whether public
or private their feelings are similar, and
showing one last bit of proper care is their
goal. For me this is a sign of hope, showing
that overall we are a society of good people
with a nature to live in harmony and peace.

funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to

Who Or What Is Gladstone And
Why This Is Important

By Connor Radnovich
WASHINGTON In 2025, self-driving
cars could be the norm, people could have
more leisure time and goods could become
cheaper. Or, there could be chronic unem-
ployment and an even wider income gap,
human interaction could become a luxury and
the wealthy could live in walled cities with
robots serving as labor.
Or, very little could change.
A new survey released Wednesday by the
Pew Research Centers Internet Project and
Elon Universitys Imagining the Internet
Center found that, when asked about the
impact of articial intelligence on jobs,
nearly 1,900 experts and other respondents
were divided over what to expect 11 years
from now.
Forty-eight percent said robots would kill
more jobs than they create, and 52 percent
said technology will create more jobs than it
destroys.
Respondents also varied widely when asked
to elaborate on their expectations of jobs in
the next decade. Some said that self-driving
cars would be common, eliminating taxi cab
and long-haul truck drivers. Some said that we
should expect the wealthy to live in seclu-
sion, using robot labor. Others were more
conservative, cautioning that technology
never moves quite as fast as people expect
and humans arent so easily replaceable.
We consistently underestimate the intelli-
gence and complexity of human beings, said
Jonathan Grudin, principal researcher at
Microsoft, who recalls that 40 years ago,
people said that advances in computer-coding
language were going to kill programming
jobs.
Even as technology removed jobs such as
secretaries and operators, it created brand new
jobs, including Web marketing, Grudin said.
And, as Grudin and other survey responders
noted, 11 years isnt much time for signi-
cant changes to take place, anyway.
Aaron Smith, senior researcher with the
Pew Research Centers Internet Project, said
the results were unusually divided. He noted
that in similar Pew surveys about the Internet
over the past 12 years, there tended to be gen-
eral consensus among the respondents,
which included research scientists and a range
of others, from business leaders to journal-
ists.
Respondents in this latest survey generally
agreed that the education system is failing to
teach the skills that students need for the
future. Smith said some survey respondents
criticized the system for promoting memo-
rization of tasks rather than creativity, teach-
ing a Henry Ford education for a Mark
Zuckerberg economy.
Also, Smith said, some respondents con-
cluded that jobs that dont require specically
human traits such as empathy, ingenuity
or resourcefulness are at risk for being
replaced, including low-skill blue collar jobs
or even white-collar jobs that have people
performing repetitive tasks.
Respondents offered a few theories about
what might happen if articial intelligence
takes over some positions and fewer jobs are
created.
Judith Donath, a fellow at Harvards
Berkman Center for Internet and Society,
foresees chronic mass unemployment with
the wealthy living in walled cities, with
robots providing the labor.
Some respondents see people returning to
small-scale, handmade production, and an
appreciation would grow for products with
the human touch. Others thought people
could also face abundant leisure, allowing
them to pursue their personal interests.
Stowe Boyd, lead analyst on the future of
work at Gigaom Research, said if, as he pre-
dicts, widespread joblessness comes to pass,
humanity would have to confront its deeper
purpose.
The fundamental question lurking behind
all of this is what are people for? Boyd
said.
For this survey, Pew posed closed- and
open-ended questions to technology experts
researchers, futurist and tech developers
and other interested parties, including writers
and business leaders, about how far they
expect robots and articial intelligence to
grow, and what the impact will be on jobs by
2025. The study was not representative of a
particular group of experts, only of those
who chose to respond.
Pew: Split views on robots employment benefits
By Jennifer Agiesta
WASHINGTON Congress has checked
out, and the American people have noticed.
Three-quarters of Americans doubt the
federal government will address the impor-
tant problems facing the country this year,
according to a new Associated Press-GfK
poll.
All told, only 28 percent of Americans
think the nation is heading in the right
direction, the lowest level in August of an
election year since 2008. Its about on par
with 2006, when Democrats took control
of the U.S. House amid a backlash to the
Iraq war.
This time around, its not clear whether
either party will benet from the disaffec-
tion.
One-third say they hope the Republicans
take control of Congress outright this fall
which the GOP can accomplish with a
net gain of six seats in the U.S. Senate
while holding the U.S. House. The same
share want to see Democrats lead Congress
a far less likely possibility.
The nal third? They say it just doesnt
matter who takes control of Congress.
Overall, just 13 percent of Americans
approve of the way Congress overall is
handling its job.
There are some signs in the new poll that
Republicans have gained ground as the
height of the campaign approaches. In
May, they trailed Democrats a bit on who
ought to control Congress. Partisans are
about equally likely to say theyd like to
see their own in charge of Congress after
November 4, with about three-quarters in
each party saying they hope their side
winds up in control. Democrats are a bit
less apt to say they want their own party to
win than they were in May, 74 percent in
the new poll compared with 80 percent
then.
And the GOP now holds narrow advan-
tages over Democrats on handling an array
of top issues, including the economy,
immigration and the federal budget.
But neither party is trusted much to man-
age the federal government, with 27 per-
cent having faith in the GOP to 24 percent
in Democrats. More people, 31 percent,
say they trust neither party to run the feder-
al government.
With U.S. aimed the wrong way, most want new leaders
The fundamental question lurking
behind all of this is what are people for?

CAIRO Indirect Israeli-Palestinian
negotiations over extending a cease-re in
the Gaza Strip and ending a blockade of the
battered territory got underway in Cairo on
Wednesday, with both sides taking hard-line
positions and much jockeying expected
ahead.
Israel wants the Islamic militant Hamas to
disarm, or at least ensure it cannot re-arm,
before considering the groups demand that
the territorys borders be opened. Israel and
Egypt imposed a closure after the Hamas
takeover of Gaza in 2007, although Egypt
allows individuals to cross intermittently.
The two sides have reviewed what they
consider issues of concern, Egyptian
Foreign Minister Sameh Shukri said at a news
conference, describing the matter as com-
plicated and not easy.
Hazem Abu Shanab, a member of Fatah,
one of the main factions involved in the
talks, said disarmament would require Israel
to pull out from occupied Palestinian territo-
ry.
As long as there is occupation, there will
be resistance and there will be weapons, he
said. The armament is linked to the occupa-
tion.
Egyptian mediators have been shuttling
between the delegations. An Egyptian airport
ofcial said the Israelis were back in Cairo
Wednesday evening after ying out earlier in
the day. He spoke on condition of anonymi-
ty because he was not authorized to brief
reporters.
Meanwhile, in Jerusalem, Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended
Israels intense bombardment of Gaza, say-
ing that despite the high civilian death toll it
was a justified and proportionate
response to Hamas attacks.
Speaking to international journalists,
Netanyahu presented video footage he said
showed militants ring rockets from areas
near schools and Hamas deploying civilians
as human shields.
Our enemy is Hamas, our enemies are the
other terrorist organizations trying to kill
our people and we have taken extraordinary
measures to avoid civilian casualties, he
said.
Nearly 1,900 Palestinians have been killed
in the ghting, three-quarters of them civil-
ians, according to the United Nations. Israel
says some 900 Palestinian militants were
among the dead. Sixty-four Israeli soldiers
and three civilians inside Israel have also
been killed.
The Palestinian delegation in Cairo is com-
posed of negotiators from all major factions,
including Hamas, and is meeting with
Egypts intelligence chief for briengs on
Israels demands.
The most important thing to us is remov-
ing the blockade and starting to reconstruct
Gaza, said Bassam Salhi, a Palestinian dele-
gate. There can be no deal without that.
Shukri said he hoped the cease-re, set to
expire at 8 a.m. Friday, would be extended,
and an Egyptian security ofcial said Cairo
was pressing Israel for an extension.
There has been no ofcial Israeli response,
though an ofcial at Netanyahus ofce said
Israel has no problem with unconditional
extensions of the cease-re. He, like the
Egyptian security ofcial, spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity because he was not author-
ized to speak to the media.
Izzat al-Rishq, a senior Hamas member,
told the Palestinian news agency that the del-
egation has yet to receive an answer to their
demands and would condition any acceptance
of an extended cease-re on how the talks
progress. Our nger is on the trigger, he
said.

Teens arrested for stealing car
Five teens, some as young as 13, arrested
for stealing a car in Redwood City are
thought to be connected to several residen-
tial burglaries after San Mateo County
Vehicle Task Force ofcers conducted an
overnight surveillance.
A car equipped with the LoJack tracking
device was stolen from the Emerald Hills
area in Redwood City on Monday. Deputies
were able to track the car and located it unoc-
cupied in downtown Redwood City, accord-
ing to the Sheriffs Ofce.
Task force ofcers were called in and on
Tuesday they watched two 13-year-olds, two
14-year-olds and a 17-year-old drive off.
Ofcers pulled the ve boys over on the 200
block of Alameda de las Pulgas and all were
charged with conspiracy to commit burglary
and attempted burglary. The 14-year-old
driver and a 13-year-old passenger were
charged with auto theft, according to the
Sheriffs Ofce. The driver was also charged
with violating his juvenile probation,
according to the Sheriffs Ofce.
After further investigation, one of the
teens was linked to more than six other
vehicle thefts and the Redwood City police
believe they were involved in residential
burglaries around Redwood City, according
to the Sheriffs Ofce.

Obama, African leaders
talk security, governance
By Julie Pace
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama and dozens of
African leaders opened talks Wednesday on two key issues
that threaten to disrupt economic progress on the conti-
nent: security and government corruption.
The discussions capped an unprecedented three-day gath-
ering of African leaders in Washington. Much of the confer-
ence has centered on boosting U.S. nancial ties with
Africa, a continent that is home to six of the worlds 10
fastest-growing economies and a rapidly expanding middle
class.
As he has throughout the summit, Obama sought to high-
light Africas potential, particularly as an untapped trading
partner for U.S. businesses. During remarks at the State
Department, he said that even though the continent faces
signicant challenges, a new Africa is emerging.
Yet White House officials acknowledge that security
issues and governance challenges continue to constrain
Africas overall prosperity. There are particular concerns
about Boko Haram, a violent Islamist group in Nigeria that
was responsible for the kidnapping of more than 200
schoolgirls earlier this year.
Obama said the security discussions would center on ways
to enable African governments to boost their own peace-
keeping and counterterrorism capabilities while moving
away from the need for costly outside intervention.
Leaders were also expected to discuss good governance
and transparency, with U.S. officials arguing to their
African counterparts that both are necessary conditions for
economic growth.

LAGOS, Nigeria Nigerian authorities
rushed to obtain isolation tents Wednesday
in anticipation of more Ebola infections as
they disclosed ve more cases of the virus
and a death in Africas most populous
nation, where ofcials were racing to keep
the gruesome disease conned to a small
group of patients.
The ve new Nigerian cases were all in
Lagos, a megacity of 21 million people in a
country already beset with poor health care
infrastructure and widespread corruption, and
all ve were reported to have had direct con-
tact with one infected man.
Meanwhile, the World Health
Organization began a meeting to decide
whether the crisis, the worst recorded out-
break of its kind, amounts to an internation-
al public health emergency. At least 932
deaths in four countries have been blamed
on the illness, with 1,711 reported cases.
In recent years, the WHO has declared an
emergency only twice, for swine u in 2009
and polio in May. The declaration would
probably come with recommendations on
travel and trade restrictions and wider Ebola
screening. It also would be an acknowledg-
ment that the situation is critical and could
worsen without a fast global response.
The group did not immediately conrm the
new cases reported in Nigeria. And Nigerian
authorities did not release any details on the
latest infections, except to say they all had
come into direct contact with the sick man
who arrived by plane in Lagos late last
month.
With the death toll mounting in the
region, Liberias president announced a
state of emergency late Wednesday and said
it may result in the suspension of some citi-
zens rights. She lamented that fear and
panic had kept many family members from
sending sick relatives to isolation centers.
Ignorance and poverty, as well as
entrenched religious and cultural practices,
continue to exacerbate the spread of the dis-
ease, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf said.
And in Sierra Leone, where enforcing quar-
antines of sick patients also has been met
with resistance, some 750 soldiers deployed
to the Ebola-ravaged east as part of
Operation Octopus.
Ebola, which causes some victims to
bleed from the eyes, mouth and ears, can
only be transmitted through direct contact
with the bodily uids of someone who is
sick blood, semen, saliva, urine, feces or
sweat.
Millions in Lagos live in cramped condi-
tions without access to ushable toilets.
Signs posted across the city warn people
not to urinate in public.
Kenneth Akihomi, a 47-year-old worker
installing ber-optic cable, said he was
carefully washing his hands to avoid infec-
tion. But he said most people were relying
on faith to stay healthy.
Theyre not panicking. They are godly
people, he said. They believe they can
pray, and maybe very soon there will be
cure.
The revelation of more infections also
came amid a public-sector doctors strike in
Nigeria that began in early July. So far,
health workers monitoring the latest Ebola
patients are still on the job.
Nigeria rushes to get isolation tents for Ebola
Ignorance and poverty, as well as entrenched religious and
cultural practices, continue to exacerbate the spread of the disease.

OPINION 9
By Jeff Gee
T
odays water needs are com-
plicated by the serious
statewide drought. This raises
valid questions of how to continue
growing our local economy, while
ensuring sufcient water supply and
maintaining efcient use of water. In
Redwood City, weve been carefully
making plans around this issue for
many years, and Im proud to report
that we are well-positioned to meet
this challenge.
The renaissance of our downtown is
well underway. Housing, retail,
ofce, commercial and entertainment
all necessary for a vibrant commu-
nity are here and continuing to
come to downtown Redwood City.
This was the vision assembled by a
community task force over 15 years
ago, and the City Council at that time
knew that doing nothing was not
the right answer to ensure a prosper-
ous future for our community.
The emergence of a new downtown
neighborhood is not an accident
our city knew it needed to address the
jobs-housing imbalance, and the
housing thats coming in now is a
big step in that direction. Our new
downtown neighborhood represents
long-term vision, thoughtful plan-
ning and a lot of hard work. As 49ers
coach Jim Harbaugh has quipped, we
need to look ahead, peek around cor-
ners and under doors to try and see
what is coming. That is what the
present council and those before have
done they looked at the future of
housing, trans-
portation, land use,
the economy and
water in an inte-
grated way.
The council and
the community
knew many years
ago that the future
of Redwood City
was contingent upon our ability to
control and plan our water usage.
Through the work of the Recycled
Water Task Force (on which I served),
our charge was to be lower our Hetch
Hetchy water allocation by 2020.
Remarkably, we exceeded our goal by
beating all of our 2020 water targets,
and more, in 2011.
We were able to do this through a
series of efforts that included:
Converting grass playelds to
synthetic turf, saving millions of
gallons of water annually (and
increasing playing time of the
elds);
Water conservation one of our
most successful programs was our
low-ow toilet giveaway, providing
the community with free, low-ow
toilets to replace old water-wasting
toilets;
Replacing City urinals with low-
ow or waterless xtures; and
Recycled water our most signif-
icant initiative. Redwood City is the
only city in San Mateo County that
is producing recycled water cur-
rently almost 200 million gallons
each year for industrial and land-
scape irrigation, thus preserving that
amount of drinking water for our
community.
Nearly all of the homeowners
associations in Redwood Shores are
using recycled water for landscape
irrigation, and the industrial busi-
nesses at the Port of Redwood City
are also using this water source. Our
master plan is to extend the recycled
water distribution system across
Highway 101 up to El Camino Real.
Many of the projects being planned
and built have been dual-plumbed so
that they can be connected to the
recycled water system, and toilets can
be ushed using recycled water, sav-
ing even more drinking water.
Through all of these efforts, we
have been able to lower our total
water consumption and plan for the
future. I can assure our community
that we are not done we will con-
tinue to peek around corners, and
look under doors to see what is com-
ing, and to plan for it. Through that
process, we have already shown that
continued economic growth can be
accomplished when it is aligned with
a forward-thinking water policy, and
integrated with the other key chal-
lenges we face.
Jeff Gee is the mayor of Redwood City.
Economic growth and water needs
A manly package
H
ealth and beauty products are manning up. More
than a few have already beefed up their attrac-
tion to the male demographic and others are
clamoring to catch up as not to miss the latest trend of
testosterone-tinged marketing.
Mens hygiene products dont typically rate a blip on
my radar but a coworker who we will refer to as Extreme
Couponer brought in his bag of drugstore swag which
included several bottles of Dial for Men Magnetic (how
could he resist when the price tag worked out to pen-
nies?). What the heck was that? I asked while playing
the fun game of how much did you actually pay for all
this stuff? That, it turned out, was a red-hued body wash
aimed at men.
Men, it seems, are no longer satisfied dipping into
whatever soap or lotion is handy in the bathroom and
risking smelling like a garden of lavender or a yummy
sugar cookie. Neutral
scents and packaging
must also not cut it for
the men who consider
themselves just beyond
the basic bar of soap user
but not quite at the exfo-
liating metrosexual
level.
But still, the body
wash seemed a little
bizarre especially in that
color. The only thing it
appeared useful for was
Halloween. Abather
could pour it over his or
her head and re-enact the
prom scene from classic
horror flick Carrie.
Then came the labels kicker the soap was reported-
ly infused with pheromones to make the washer more
attractive to hordes of people driven crazy by this secret
weapon. Like a member of the boy band du jour, the user
would need to beat the ladies back with a stick. The
sports editor noted that hed never try the soap. Hes a
married man after all. Hed better not risk it.
Product reinvention is nothing new. Old Spice very
notably tried dusting off its middle-age image with a
popular series of 2010 commercials selling its body
wash and itself as relevant using an attractive man
telling viewers he is the man your man could smell like.
Plus hes on a horse.
But at some point, the repackaging and rebranding
seems a bit overkill. Granted, I may be missing some
keen insight into the male psyche, but its hard to imag-
ine a guy buying a stick of deodorant simply because he
likes the container. Thats the purview of females.
However, that seems to be what Speed Stick is going for
with its newest variation.
Extreme Couponers next haul included several pack-
ages of the classic mens deodorant, now complete with
side hand grips on the container. Obviously, keeping
oneself fresh is a slippery ordeal for a man whos all
thumbs.
Other goodies are also taking the plunge, throwing
around words like ultimate and extreme to emphasize
just how bold and masculine they all are.
Cotton swabs are the latest foray into this manly man
makeover arena. Short of ear cleaning which is appar-
ently a gender-neutral bit of grooming, Q-tips have
long been seen a beauty staple for women. Touch up eye
shadow. Wipe off excess mascara. Dig out lipstick rem-
nants
But now, behold the stronger, bold Q-tip otherwise
known as and this is verbatim from the package
Mens ultimate multi-tool Think of it as a Leatherman
for ones face. In case that isnt clear enough, the dia-
mond-plate label reminiscent of trucks and tool boxes
offers possible uses: detailing, cleaning, building. The
Q-tip would probably flex if it could just for added meas-
ure.
Swab-using men everywhere are rejoicing that they no
longer risk being confused with somebody fixing up
their face. They can now go forth with confidence in the
garage workshop! Their collective relief must be similar
to how us ladies felt when tool companies began offer-
ing up pretty pink power drills and girly lavender
Phillips-head screwdrivers. No longer need we stand in a
Home Depot aisle lamenting that the cordless jigsaw
just doesnt match anything else we own.
Clothes used to make the man. Now, apparently,
clothes have nothing on the personal products beneath
them.

E
ven as the Ebola virus serves
as a reminder of Africas
manifold challenges, a much
brighter future for the continent was
on display in Washington this week,
where more than 40 African heads of
state are attending a summit meeting
led by President Barack Obama.
Done right, with sufficient follow-
through, the event should strength-
en American ties to a continent that
is expected to outpace China and
India in population by 2040 and is
widely viewed as the worlds last
major economic frontier.
The event is a determined, and
splashy, initiative by Obama to
push back against other countries
doing business there, especially
China, which is investing heavily
in infrastructure projects and using
Africa as a source of vital oil and
metals. It is also an opportunity to
counter critics who say he has devot-
ed insufficient attention to the con-
tinent.
Administration officials have been
eager to persuade Africa that
Americas democratic capitalistic
system can offer advantages that
Chinas authoritarian system can-
not. As Susan Rice, the national
security adviser, said last week, We
dont see Africa as a pipeline to
extract vital resources, nor as a fun-
nel for charity. She described a
broader vision in which the United
States is committed to being a part-
ner to create jobs, resolve conflicts
and develop the human capital need-
ed to build a better future.
To that end, the summit meeting
was preceded by a gathering of 500
participants in Obamas Young
African Leaders Initiative. Other
events included forums on women,
health, trade, food security and civil
society. Still others brought togeth-
er American corporate executives
with African leaders. The summit
schedule ended with meetings with
Obama on Wednesday.
The world has largely associated
Africa with desperate struggles
against war, poverty, famine and dic-
tatorial leaders. But there are posi-
tive trends, too. Africa is home to
six of the 10 fastest-growing
economies in the world, an emergi ng
middle class and markets that are
increasingly open to foreign invest-
ment. In short, there is money to be
made there.
There is also a growing threat
from militants in some countries.
And, as human rights groups point
out, the summit meetings focus on
trade, investment and counterterror-
ism cannot be allowed to dilute the
Obama administrations willingness
to press for good and honest gover-
nance, fair elections and human
rights, all essential for long-term
stability and growth.

NEWYORK U.S. stocks stabilized
on Wednesday after earnings from a
major beer brewer helped the market
stem its recent declines.
The stock market ended the day little
changed after a sizable drop a day earli-
er, when Russia massed troops near its
border with Ukraine.
Molson Coors was the biggest gain-
er in the Standard & Poors 500 index
after the company reported better-than-
forecast earnings. Rupert Murdochs
21st Century Fox rose after the compa-
ny said it was dropping a bid to acquire
Time Warner, while Sprint plunged
after it abandoned its effort to acquire T-
Mobile US.
The stock market has become more
volatile in recent weeks, and slumped
last month to its rst monthly decline
since January. Investors are weighing
signs that the U.S. economy is
strengthening against the threat of an
escalating conict in Ukraine, as well
as the prospect of the Federal Reserve
raising its benchmark interest rate.
On the one hand the U.S. economy
is really starting to look good, but on
the other hand, the markets are certain-
ly jittery about whats going on in
Ukraine and Russia, said Anastasia
Amoroso, Global Markets Strategist at
J.P. Morgan Funds.
The S&P 500 rose a fraction of a
point, or less than 0.1 percent, to
1,920.24. The index lost 18 points, or
1 percent, on Tuesday. The index is still
up on the year, but has dropped 3.5 per-
cent from its record close set July 24.
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 13.87 points, or 0.1 percent, to
16,443.34. The Nasdaq composite rose
2.2 points, or 0.1 percent, to
4,355.05.
Molson Coors rose $3.87, or 5.8
percent, to $71.08 after the company
said its second-quarter prot rose 9 per-
cent as better pricing offset a global
decline in the volume of beer sales.
As well as watching earnings,
investors were looking at two merger
bids that unraveled.
Sprint plunged $1.38, or 19 percent,
to $5.90 after the company said it was
abandoning its pursuit of T-Mobile US.
Sprint would have struggled to con-
vince regulators to approve a merger of
the No. 3 and No. 4 cellphone carriers
in the nation, according to The Wall
Street Journal. Sprint is also replacing
its longtime CEO.
Time Warner fell $10.95, or 12.9
percent, to $74.24 after Rupert
Murdochs 21st Century Fox said it was
dropping its attempt to take over the
company. The deal would have com-
bined two of the worlds biggest media
conglomerates. 21st Century Fox rose
$1.03, or 3.3 percent, to $32.33.
Stocks may oscillate in a trading
range in coming days as investors fol-
low developments in Ukraine and
assess their impact on the global
economy, said Peter Cardillo, chief
market economist at Rockwell Global
Capital.
The U.S. economy is unlikely to be
directly impacted by the economic fall-
out from the escalating tensions
between Russia and the West. Europe,
though, is dependent on Russian natu-
ral gas for heat and electricity.
Germany imports nearly all its natural
gas from Russia, and France also gets a
signicant amount of its energy needs
from Russia.
I dont think the market is afraid of
any military intervention, but it cer-
tainly is focusing on the negative
aspects of an economic war, said
Cardillo.
Asign of improved demand for gaso-
line in the U.S. wasnt enough to pull
oil out of its downward slide
Wednesday. After starting the day trad-
ing higher, benchmark U.S. crude oil
fell 46 cents, or 0.5 percent, to $96.92
a barrel on the New York Mercantile
Exchange. It was the benchmarks 11th
loss in the last 13 trading sessions,
and the rst close below $97 since Feb.
3.

Big movers

NEW YORK Sprints new owner is
replacing its longtime CEO with a Bolivian
billionaire and entrepreneur after dropping
its bid for rival wireless carrier T-Mobile
US.
Marcelo Claure, the CEO of Miami-based
cellphone distributor Brightstar, will
replace Dan Hesse on Monday, Sprint Corp.
said Wednesday.
Claure, 43, had been CEO of Brightstar
Corp., which is part of Softbank Corp. of
Japan. Softbank bought 70 percent of
Sprint last year.
Sprint shares plunged
in midday trading as its
chairman and incoming
CEO talked about adopt-
ing aggressive tactics to
compete with AT&T and
Verizon, likely including
price cuts.
The Wall Street Journal
said Tuesday that Sprint
decided not to pursue the
merger of the No. 3 and No. 4 U.S. carriers.
The paper cited unnamed people familiar
with the matter. The merger would have
faced tough opposition from U.S. regula-
tors who want to preserve competition
among wireless carriers, and Wall Street
analysts saw little chance of the deal being
consummated.
In a statement Wednesday, the CEO of
Softbank and chairman of Sprint said the
companys focus had shifted away from
acquisitions, though he didnt address the
Sprint deal specically.
While we continue to believe industry
consolidation will enhance competitive-
ness and benet customers, our focus mov-
ing forward will be on making Sprint the
most successful carrier, Masayoshi Son
said.
Part of Sons desire to buy T-Mobile prob-
ably lay in his desire to bring T-Mobile
CEO John Legere into his team. The foul-
mouthed, jeans-wearing Legere has upended
long-standing industry practices and
brought customers streaming back to T-
Mobile, though he has no prots to show
for his efforts.
With the T-Mobile deal now scotched,
Son had to look elsewhere for iconoclastic
leadership, said analyst Roger Entner of
Recon Analytics.
Son is looking for a more entrepreneur-
ial spirit ... hes looking for someone will-
ing to break the rules, Entner said.
In his own statement, Claure suggested
Sprint would be taking on Verizon and
AT&T through price cuts.
Sprint names new CEO after dropping T-Mobile bid

Growing political heat and possible cus-
tomer backlash helped dissuade Walgreen
from trying to trim its tax bill by reorganiz-
ing overseas as part of an acquisition.
But experts say they dont expect other
companies considering the move to follow
Walgreens lead and stay rooted in the
United States.
Walgreen, the nations biggest drugstore
chain, said Wednesday that it would no
longer consider a so-called inversion,
which has become popular among large,
multi-national health care companies look-
ing to cut U.S. taxes. The company said it
will instead combine with the Swiss health
and beauty retailer Alliance Boots to form a
holding company thats based in the U.S.
Walgreen Co. said in a statement that it
was mindful of the ongoing public reaction
to a potential inversion and its unique role
as an iconic American retailer.
Walgreens decision follows a wave of
recently announced inversions that have
prompted President Barack Obama and mem-
bers of Congress to voice growing concern
about tax revenue the U.S. government
could lose from these moves. Despite
Walgreens decision, experts say U.S. com-
panies will likely continue to pursue inver-
sions because they can still reap big bene-
ts by reorganizing overseas.
Walgreen turns down
inversion to cut tax bill

WASHINGTON Bank of America is
nearing a $16 billion to $17 billion settle-
ment to resolve an investigation into its
role in the sale of mortgage-backed securi-
ties before the 2008 nancial crisis, a per-
son directly familiar with the matter said
Wednesday.
The deal with the bank would be the
largest Justice Department settlement by far
arising from the economic meltdown in
which millions of Americans lost their
homes to foreclosure. It would follow earli-
er multibillion-dollar agreements reached in
the last year with Citigroup and JPMorgan
Chase & Co.
The person, who spoke on condition of
anonymity because the deal had not yet been
announced, cautioned that some details still
needed to be worked out and that it was pos-
sible the agreement could fall apart.
But the person said the two sides reached
an agreement in principle following a con-
versation last week between Attorney
General Eric Holder and Bank of America
CEO Brian Moynihan.
Pfizer to pay $35M to
settle drug marketing case
WASHINGTON Pzer will pay $35 mil-
lion to resolve allegations by 42 states that
its subsidiary, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, ille-
gally marketed an organ transplant drug for
unapproved uses.
The states attorneys general said
Wednesday that Wyeth, which Pzer bought
in 2009, trained sales representatives to
encourage doctors to prescribe Rapamune for
uses other than preventing rejection of trans-
planted kidneys. Rapamune was approved in
1999 for use in kidney transplant patients.
Promoting drugs for uses not cleared by the
Food and Drug Administration is illegal.
Pzer agreed to pay nearly $491 million
in July 2013 to resolve a similar investiga-
tion by the Department of Justice.

Just down the hill from the Breidingers
Hillsborough home, there is a radar speed indi-
cator sign meant to detour drivers from speed-
ing through the quiet suburban streets.
Even though twin sisters Toni and Annie
Breidinger are accustomed to driving at speeds
of 100-plus mph, local law enforcement need
not worry about the sisters speeding around the
neighborhood. With the two just having turned
15 in July, neither is even
licensed to drive yet.
That hasnt stopped the
sister duo from emerging as
contenders on the junior
racecar circuit with the
United States Auto Club.
Both are currently ranked in
the top ve of the Honda
Performance Development
Western Pavement Series.
Just past the midway point
of their rst full season on
the circuit, Toni Breidinger
is ranked No. 2 with 430
points and Annie
Breidinger is ranked No. 5
with 331 points.
With racing in their
blood their uncle, John
Breidinger, raced Formula
Ford cars as a hobby in the
1970s the Breidinger
girls were behind the wheel
since their father Charles Breidinger enlisted
them in a Micro Max go-kart league as 9-year-
olds.
Our uncle used to race, and our dad used to
mechanic for him, so our dad took us to a kart-
ing school in Sonoma, Toni Breidinger said.
We did that a couple of times and we liked it, so
he bought us our own karts.

OAKLAND Yoenis Cespedes is gone to
Boston and the Oakland Athletics are slumping
without their former slugger.
Josh Reddick is a bright spot in the lineup
and continues a recent tear, getting a two-run
double in the ninth inning of a 7-3 loss to the
Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday that cost the AL
West leaders a sweep.
We couldnt get anything going. Our lineup
continues to struggle, Reddick said. We know
we have a good lineup with or without
Cespedes. We miss him. Someone has to step
up. We havent done that yet. We have to keep
grinding.
The As acquired ace Jon Lester in last
Thursdays trade deadline deal that sent
Cespedes out of town, and the pitcher starts
again Thursday.
The Rays handed reigning AL Pitcher of the
Month Sonny Gray (12-5) his second straight
defeat following a 5-0 July in which he had a
1.03 ERA. This is the second time Gray has lost
consecutive outings in his rst full major
league season, also to Baltimore and the
Yankees on June 7 and 13.
When you put your team in a hole like that,
youre putting a lot of pressure on the offense,
said Gray, tagged for a career-high 10 hits.
Thats tough to climb out of.
Kevin Kiermaier hit a two-run homer to help
Jeremy Hellickson end a six-start winless
stretch for his rst victory in 11 months.
Hellickson (1-1) allowed two hits and one run
in seven innings, struck out three and walked
none. He hadnt reached ve innings in any of
his previous three starts this year or in ve out-
ings dating to the end of the 2013 season. The
2011 AL Rookie of the Year returned late last
month following rehab for the January elbow
operation.
Kiermaiers rst-pitch homer in the fourth
was just the ninth surrendered this year by Gray,
who came into Wednesday with a 1-0 record and
0.61 ERAin two career starts against the Rays.
Hellickson retired the rst nine As hitters in
order before Coco Crisps leadoff single in the
fourth, then the right-hander recorded seven
more outs in a row.
That looked like the Rookie of the Year

H
igh school kids are often stereo-
typed as being too wrapped up in
their own world that they dont
have time or even care about the
plight of others.
Over the years, Ive found that is far
from the case. While that may have been
the case in the distant past, I have dis-
covered that high school kids nowadays
are far more likely to jump in and help
when they can.
On the opening
day of the Bank of
the West womens
tennis tournament at
Stanford last week,
members of the
Menlo School tennis
team presented a
$10,000 check to
the East Palo Alto
Tennis and Tutoring
organization. The
check represented
money the team raised from the number
of service aces it recorded during the
2014 spring season.
Lane Leschly, who played most of the
season as the Knights No. 3 singles
player, came up with the idea following a
tour of the EPATT facilities and decided he
wanted to do something to help the
organization.
Founded in 1988, EPATT is an after-
school program that provides youth
development for local students from
underprivileged communities. EPATT uses
academic tutoring, group tennis instruc-
tion, parent education and accountability
to help students become successful.
Leschlys idea was to get sponsors for
each service ace the team served during
the season. Over 24 matches, the
Knights came up 345 aces well above
the goal of 100 that was initially set.
This is all Lanes doing. It all started
with Lane, who has tremendous charac-
ter, said Menlo tennis coach Bill Shine.

DELL RAPIDS, S.D. A volleyball and
baseball coach at St. Mary High School in
Dell Rapids who has publicly announced
hes gay says he feels elated, though he wor-
ries it might affect his employment at the
private Catholic school.
Nate Alfson made the announcement
Tuesday in an online essay he posted on the
website www.outsports.com . Local sports-
caster Mike Henriksen said Alfson is
believed to be the rst openly gay high
school coach in South Dakota.
When youre the first at anything, I
think thats big, Henriksen told the Argus
Leader newspaper, adding that Alfsons deci-
sion might help high school athletes who
are gay. Nate is a coach and an athlete, and
I think that opens a few more doors.
Alfson, 25, graduated from high school in
Pipestone, Minnesota, in 2007, and went
on to play baseball at Augustana College in
Sioux Falls. He said he has known he was
gay since he was in ninth grade. He said he
struggled with it but has now decided to
share with the world that it is OK to be who
you are born as and feel condent about it.
I have found that there are other people
in the world just like me and I dont have to
feel alone any longer, he wrote.
Alfson said he has received support but
also is prepared for criticism and strong
reactions to his decision, including the pos-
sibility that it might jeopardize his coach-
ing job.
This might be a challenge but I am con-
dent it will work out for the best and the
Earth will still keep turning regardless of
the outcome, he wrote. I hope it doesnt
affect my opportunity to be a good role
model for the athletes.
School officials did not immediately
respond to requests for comment.

BALTIMORE They are NFL coaches on
opposite ends of the country, so it isnt
often that the Harbaugh brothers have a get-
together in August.
The exception to the rule will occur this
week.
Jim Harbaugh and the San Francisco 49ers
will face John Harbaugh and the Baltimore
Ravens on Thursday in the preseason open-
er for both teams. After that, the teams will
practice together on Saturday, Sunday and
Monday.
No family gathering for the Harbaughs
would be complete without Mom and Dad, so
theyre joining the festivities. Jack
Harbaugh is a former football coach and
mentor to both his sons, so its pretty clear
about what the topic of conversation will be
at the dinner table.
Itll be a great chance to get together, but
(its all) football, John Harbaugh said.
So, I guess itll be exactly what its sup-
posed to be with our family.
On the field, this
encounter will be far less
important than the previ-
ous meeting between the
siblings a Super Bowl
clash in February 2013
won by the Ravens 34-
31. The brothers were
also on opposite side-
lines on Thanksgiving of
2011, a game Baltimore
won 16-6.
In this one, neither team is expected to use
its starters for more than one or two series.
San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick
might work up a slight sweat before taking a
seat, and its uncertain whether 49ers run-
ning back Frank Gore will play at all.
Colin will be a couple drives at the
most, Jim said. Could have one drive, it
goes really well, and I say, Thats it right
there. Could have two drives. Wont be
much more than that.
Regardless, both brothers will be wearing
their game faces. Theyve been trying to get
the best of each other since they were kids,
and that wont change just
because this game wont
count in the standings.
I enjoy competing,
Jim said. I think the
thing that were going to
be doing Thursday night
is exactly that. Youre
competing. Its what it is.
(Then) were joining
forces, working together
to make both of our ball clubs better.
The Ravens went 8-8 last season and
missed the postseason for the rst time dur-
ing John Harbaughs six-year reign. The
coach hopes this game against the 49ers
will get the team going in the right direc-
tion exactly one month before the regular
season opener against the defending AFC
North champion Cincinnati Bengals.
They do some things that we really need
to fend off, we need to see, John said of San
Francisco. They put a lot of pressure on the
quarterback. Theyre just a big, stout team,
so thats going to be really good for us.
Obviously, theyre pretty well coached.
The Ravens and 49ers were supposed to
have a light practice Friday at the Ravens
home stadium, but that was canceled because
the collective bargaining agreement limits
the number of consecutive days a team can
practice or take part in football activities
during training camp. The 49ers considered
their travel day to Baltimore to be an off
day, but the players union called it a work
day.
So the teams will practice at the Ravens
facility in Owings Mills, Maryland. The
objective, as in any practice, will be to get
in some hard work and avoid injuries.
Were going to treat that ballclub like its
our ballclub, Jim Harbaugh said. Our goal
is going to be to take care of them like we
would be taking care of each other when our
offense is going against their defense.
Of the eld, Jim is looking forward to
spending time with his niece Johns
daughter.
Ive got to see Alison because her birth-
days Aug. 10th, he said. So, hopefully
Ill get a chance to. Ill take the try out of it
and deliver the birthday present to Alison.

The NCAA board of directors will vote
Thursday on a proposal that would give the
ve wealthiest college football conferences
the ability to make rules and pass legisla-
tion without the approval of the rest of
Division I schools.
The autonomy proposal is expected to
pass. Heres what you need to know about it:
Q: What do the big conferences
want?
A: The 65 schools in Atlantic Coast
Conference, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and
Southeastern Conference would get the abil-
ity to pass permissive legislation to
enhance the well-being of student-ath-
letes. They want to be allowed to spend
their growing revenues on things such as
scholarships that cover the full cost of
attending college beyond tuition, room and
board and books. Those conferences also
want to invest more in long-term health
care and continuing education and ensure
that athletes retain scholarships for four
years. Schools in the other 27 Division I
conferences can try to do some of those
things if they want, but they will not be
required to.
I think weve gotten to a place where we
just believe there was a need for us to per-
haps be a little less egalitarian, a little less
magnanimous about the 350 schools and
spend a little time worrying about the most
severe issues that are troubling our pro-
grams among the 65, Big 12
Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said
Wednesday during forum in New York host
by the conference.
Q: Why do those conferences need
autonomy to do that?
A: In the past, schools in conferences
that dont have the billions of dollars in TV
revenues that the so-called Big Five have
stood in the way of the NCAA passing leg-
islation that would have provide some of
those extra benefits to athletes.
Specically, in 2011 a proposal that would
have allowed schools to give athletes a
$2,000 stipend to cover cost of attendance
was overridden by about half of the 355
Division I schools.
Q: Who i s agai nst i t?
A: There are some in those other 22 con-
ferences who are concerned that giving the
Big Five the ability to make their own rules
will increase the competitive advantage
those schools already have. The most vocal
critic has been Boise State President Bob
Kustra, who believes autonomy is the Big
Fives attempt to keep schools such as his
from competing on the highest level. The
Broncos, who play in the MWC, have been
a football power but have often been shut
out of the biggest games, with the biggest
payouts.
The NCAA cannot fall prey to phony
arguments about student welfare when the
real goal of some of these so-called reform-
ers is create a plutocracy, Kustra wrote in
statement released to the media in May,
that serves no useful purpose in American
higher education.
Q: Why i s thi s l i kel y to pass?
A: Because the Big Five generate mil-
lions in revenue for all NCAAmembers, and
while the leaders of those conferences have
repeatedly said they dont want to break
away from the rest of Division I, they have
also made clear it is an option. So theyll
get what they want.
It also helps relieve some of the pressure
to reform an outdated amateur sports model,
brought in part by a lawsuit that claims ath-
letes deserve revenue from the use of their
names and likenesses and a unionization
effort from Northwestern football players.
Q: When would it go into effect?
A: The formal start would be in January
2015, at the NCAAconvention.
Q: Wi l l fans noti ce a di fference?
A: Not really. Maybe in the long-term
some FBS schools will decide its too
expensive to compete at that level and drop
down to FCS. And it could be a step toward
full separation between the Big Five and the
rest of college athletics, but there is noth-
ing to suggest that is imminent. For now, it
will look like business as usual.
Vote would let big NCAA conferences set own rules
SPORTS 13
But to have the other guys embrace it and get excited
about it (showed what kind of character they had as well).
The only skepticism Shine had was players who became
so focused on recording aces that it would embarrass other
teams. Shine need not have worried. Menlo kids are
classier than that.
What I didnt want to happen is to have the guys come
across as, Oh wow! Were going to try to ace people all
the time, and run across the court to write it down, Shine
said. I just told them to remember how many [aces] they
got and write it down later.
Shine said there was a running tally he kept in his ofce
and, after every match, the players would write down the
number of aces they had in their matches.
[The players] had a little competition with it, Shine
said. He said he doesnt remember who nished with the
most, but Lane has a big serve. He gets a lot of aces.
As the season went along, Shine realized not only was
the team raising funds, they were raising the level of their
tennis game as well.
It made them play better, Shine said. Alot of guys
were working on their serves in practice. I noticed most all
of them were really working on their serves.
As the season went along, the amount of money raised
kept growing. Never in his wildest dreams did he think the
Knights would reach the level they eventually did.
It started small, Shine said. We had $2,000. Then
$4,000. We never even thought wed get to $10,000. That
was so far off of what we thought we would raise.
But there they were July 28, presenting a check before
the opening of the Bank of the West tournament.
The Menlo boys tennis program is one of the best not
only on the Peninsula, but in the nation. But the money
the team raised this past season made Shine more proud
than any of the countless Central Coast Section champi-
onships the team has won over the years.
It does show that good guys can nish rst. Thats what
we preach at Menlo. Its not about just them (the players).
Its about people who are a little more unfortunate than we
are, Shine said. You got to give back to the game that
gave you so much.
And it doesnt appear this a one-time thing.
Overall, it was a huge success with the team and weve
all gotten really engaged in the idea, so were hoping to
continue the fun next year, Leschly said in a press release.

MILWAUKEE Ryan Vogelsong acknowl-
edged it wasnt as pretty as his last start.
But the pitcher overcame an early base-run-
ning blunder and gave up one run on seven
hits in six innings to lead the San Francisco
Giants to a 7-4 victory over the Milwaukee
Brewers on Wednesday night.
Vogelsong (7-8) won consecutive starts for
the rst time since May. On Friday, the right-
hander allowed two hits in a complete game
against the Mets.
Stuff I was doing the last start didnt work
today, so it was kind of a weird day,
Vogelsong said. It kind of felt like I was try-
ing something new every inning and I was just
fortunate enough to have balls hit right at
people. I made some pitches when I needed to,
but it wasnt really how I wanted to draw it up.
Michael Morse and Pablo Sandoval each
drove in three runs for the Giants, who won
for the fth time in the last seven games.
Milwaukees Yovani Gallardo (6-6) had a
streak of 16 2-3-innings without giving up a
run snapped in the rst
when he allowed three of
them. The right-hander
gave up four runs on nine
hits and walked four in four
innings. His only shorter
outing this season was
May 20 at Atlanta when he
left after 3 1-3-innings
with an ankle injury.
It was just one of those
days, Gallardo said. I cant pinpoint one
thing. Obviously command was a big issue.
Morse hadnt had more than one RBI in a
game since June 13 against Colorado, and the
left elder had only eight RBI in his previous
50 games.
But after a run-scoring single by Sandoval
in the rst, Morses snapped a 1-for-11 skid
with a two-out, two-run single to center for a
3-0 lead. In the fourth, his single to right with
two outs gave San Francisco a 4-1 lead. The
last time Morse had three RBI was May 29.
San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy was-
nt overly concerned about Morses recent
struggles.
We talked briey, Bochy said. Hes
done so much for this club, and I wanted him
to know that. ... Hes helped put us in a good
position. We have a lot of baseball left, and
we havent done anything. But because of
him, we have a chance to get to where we
want to go.
Sandoval smashed a two-run homer to left
for a 7-3 lead in the eighth, one day after the
third baseman hit a three-run shot.
Carlos Gomez homered in the rst for
Milwaukee, Aramis Ramirez added a two-run
single in the seventh and Khris Davis hit a
solo homer in the ninth. The Brewers still
kept a one-game lead over St. Louis in the NL
Central despite falling to 3-6 in their last
nine games.
Notes: Center elder Angel Pagan (back
inammation) was expected to join the team
late Wednesday after he nished his minor-
league rehab assignment Tuesday with
Triple-AFresno.
Thursday, Jake Peavy (0-2, 4.85 ERA)
takes on Wily Peralta (13-6, 3.52 ERA),
who has won his last four starts while post-
ing a 1.71 ERA.

GRAPEVINE, Texas Commissioner Bud
Selig expects baseball owners to vote next
week from a list of three candidates for his
successor.
Yes, there will be a vote in Baltimore,
Selig said Wednesday, referring to the own-
ers meeting next week.
Selig said the seven-member panel
appointed earlier this year, and headed by St.
Louis Cardinals chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. ,
worked independently to get to this point.
I told them at the time that the job was
theirs because, after all, they have to live
with the commissioner. Im going to be
gone, said Selig, who is retiring in
January.
Ive been very well-informed and briefed
and so forth, but theyve been independent
and theyve come up with this list on their
own, and Im grateful for that. They did what
I asked them to do.
The reported finalists
for the job are Rob
Manfred, MLBs chief
operating officer; Tim
Brosnan, MLBs execu-
tive vice president for
business and Boston Red
Sox chairman Tom
Werner.
When asked about
those names, Selig said the list is accu-
rate.
The commissioner has refrained from pub-
licly endorsing anyone as his replacement
after 22 years on the job.
Selig spoke to reporters after addressing
the opening luncheon for the 2014
Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI)
World Series, which will feature about 300
players ages 13-18 with 16 teams playing
in the Dallas-Fort Worth area this week.
The gathering came a day after the former
clinic owner accused of selling performance-
enhancing drugs to Alex Rodriguez agreed to
plead guilty in what prosecutors called a
wide-ranging conspiracy to distribute
steroids to both major league ballplayers
and high school athletes.
With potentially more legal proceedings
related to Biogenesis, after former owner
Anthony Bosch and six others were charged,
there is always the possibility of additional
names being revealed.
Im really not concerned, Selig said.
We did what we had to do. Well be very
thorough. ... I dont really have any knowl-
edge if theres anything else coming.
Look, Im proud of where we are, he
said. We have the toughest drug testing
program in America, and certain American
sports.
It was a year ago this week that Rodriguez
was among 13 players disciplined by Major
League Baseball as a result of the
Biogenesis scandal, two weeks after Ryan
Braun had already accepted a 65-game penal-
t y. Most of the other penalties were for the
final 50 games last season, though
Rodriguez appealed his much longer suspen-
sion and is out for all of this season.
Selig planned later Wednesday to visit the
Rangers ballpark in nearby Arlington on
his tour of the 30 franchises. He also
planned to visit with Dr. Bobby Brown, who
practiced cardiology in the Dallas-Fort
Worth area before serving as vice president
of the Texas Rangers and later the AL presi-
dent from 1984-94.
Ive been so busy and things have been
so hectic that I havent really had a chance
to focus on (pending retirement). Next
November, December and January, Im sure
Ill do a lot of that, Selig said. I try not to
think about that, I really dont. Yeah, there
are a few times when Ive said to myself,
well, this is the last time youll do this. And
this is the last time Ill do this. I think the
emotion will come later.
Selig expects vote next week on his successor
Bud Selig
midget cars in the Western Pavement
Series. As with all cars currently on
the circuit, the Breidingers cars use
2000 cc Ford Focus engines with 170
horsepower. Each car costs approxi-
mately $20,000 used. And mainte-
nance consists of 16 hours of work
for every hour on the track.
The end result is a thrill ride, whip-
ping around a circular track at average
speeds of 70-80 mph, with top
speeds of 110 mph. There was a time
the idea of such speeds seemed rather
intimidating to the Breidinger girls.
Now, its just a day in the life.
You get used to it, Annie
Breidinger said. Now it doesnt feel
that fast.
The Breidingers have grown accus-
tomed to their mile-a-minute
lifestyles. In addition to competing
on the Western Pavement Series,
they each rank in the top ve of the
Junior Rotax circuit in the Red Line
Oil Karting Championships. And as
they return to school for their sopho-
more year at Mercy-Burlingame,
they return to the varsity cheerleader
squad. They are super competitive on
the cheerleading circuit as well, as
the Crusaders captured third place in
the large-novice division at the
United Spirit Association Spirit
Nationals in Anaheim, March 28-30.
Yet their home away from home
has swiftly become the Sonoma
Raceway. The two will be competing
at Sonomas Simraceway
Performance Karting Center Sunday
in Round 6 of the Red Line
Championships; but not before they
spend Saturday evening behind the
wheels of their respective midget
cars as they compete at the Madera
Speedway at the 13th race of the sea-
son in the Western Pavement Series.
While the two each race their
midget cars for the same team with
Valverde Racing Performance, there
are no team standings in the Western
Pavement Series. So, the two ulti-
mately compete against one another.
We usually try to help each other
out, because we have the advantage
of being on a team together, Toni
Breidinger said. But were still com-
petitive with each other.
Racing cars provides the adrena-
line and excitement to keep the sister
tandem competitive. Before discov-
ering the sport, they dabbled in gym-
nastics and soccer. Neither of them
held much appeal. Dawning their
respective racecar numbers is anoth-
er story though, with Toni Breidinger
sporting her No. 80 midget car, and
Annie Breidinger throttling behind
the wheel of her No. 75.
Through six years of competitive
racing, however, the two have expe-
rienced few crashes. The only serious
wreck either have been through came
three years ago in a go-kart race when
Toni Breidinger suffered a broken arm
after having her kart ipped over. A
competing kart racer, Logan
Sargeant, was trying to pass when
his front end scooped Toni
Breidingers kart. Once their tires
collided, she went airborne. And
since there are no seatbelts in go-
karts, Toni Breidinger was thrown
from her car and pinned under it until
medics pulled her from the crash.
According to Toni Breidinger, the
crash wasnt all too traumatic.
My rst thoughts, I was hoping I
would stay away from the other cars
because I didnt want anyone else hit-
ting me, Toni Breidinger said. But
it wasnt that scary. It looked
worse than it was.
Six weeks later, Toni Breidinger
was back in action. And now the
Breidingers are setting their
sights high.
If everything goes our way, well
be on Team U.S.A. and go to Spain,
Toni Breidinger said. Thats kind of
everybodys goal.
As lofty an ambition as that may
be, the sister tandem is growing
accustomed to travelling. To com-
pete, theyve ventured as far as
North Carolina domestically, and
Jamaica internationally. And next
weekend, they will journey north of
the border to race in Chilliwack,
British Columbia.
Still, nothing seems to excite
them as much as the nearing date
Jan. 22, 2015 when they turn 15-
and-a-half, at which point they can
receive their learners permits. Until
then, they will have to settle for 100-
plus mph raceway speeds of the com-
petitive midget and go-kart tracks.

SAN FRANCISCO The San
Jose Sharks and Los Angeles
Kings are going to take their rival-
ry outdoors next season.
The NHL announced Wednesday
that the Pacic Division foes will
meet at the 49ers new home in
Santa Clara on Feb. 21. The $1.2
billion Levis Stadium beat out the
San Francisco Giants cozier con-
nes at AT&T Park for the game,
which is part of the NHLs growing
Stadium Series.
This will be the second straight
year the NHLhas staged an outdoor
game in California. The Anaheim
Ducks beat the Kings 3-0 at Dodger
Stadium in front of an announced
crowd of 54,099 on Jan. 25.
Sharks Chief Operating Ofcer
John Tortora expects the game at
Levis Stadium to attract a capacity
crowd of 68,500 for a scintillating
spectacle of ice in Silicon Valley.
We think this will be one of the
bigger sporting events the Bay
Area has ever seen, Tortora said.
The NHLs rst outdoor game in
Northern California features a
erce and fan-pleasing matchup.
In the latest and perhaps most
dramatic chapter of the playoff his-
tory between these franchises, the
Kings eliminated the Sharks in the
rst round last season to become
the leagues fourth team to win a
best-of-seven series after losing
the rst three games. Los Angeles
went on to win its second Stanley
Cup in three years.

Coral bells (Huechera spp.) are plants
that earn their keep even when not in
bloom.
Here is a perennial, especially some of
the newer hybrids, that is loved as much for
its leaves as for its owers. And in many
regions the leaves put on their show year-
round, although in northern climes they are
apt to be ragged or covered with snow in the
coldest weather.
The traditional coral bells, H. sanguinea
and native to our Southwest, is grown pri-
marily for its airy sprays of tiny, bell-
shaped, red, pink or white flowers.
Although these sprays rise a foot and a half
off the ground, coral bells is still an ideal
plant for the front edge of a ower bed.
Thats because the bulk of the plant is a
ground-hugging whorl of rounded or trian-
gular leaves. The ower stalks are so deli-
cate that the owers seem to oat untethered
above the leaves.
HERE COMES
THE OTHER AMERICAN
Enter American alumroot (H. americana),
a cousin of coral bells that doesnt at all
ash around its owers, which are ho-hum
and greenish. No, American alumroot struts
only its leaves.
Leaves vary from plant to plant, but typi-
cally begin life ushed reddish and with
copper-colored veins. From there, the show
begins. The leaves of the Dales Strain vari-
ety, for example, mature silvery blue and
marbled; this plant makes a nice ground-
cover. Pewter Veil, another variety, has pur-
ple leaves overlaid with a pewter sheen.
Leaves of yet another variety, Garnet, are
dark red.
Given American alumroots spectacular
leaves and the traditional coral bells showy
owers, a hybrid of the two species could
bring out the best in each. So-called hybrid
coral bells, having the genes of other
species also thrown in, do offer showy ow-
ers and very showy foliage. And what a
visual range they offer on both fronts!
As an example, Bressingham Blaze has
fiery red blossoms and white-marbled
leaves. Cherry Splash has bright red owers
and leaves splashed white and gold.
Frostys bright red owers hover above
foliage seemingly painted in sparkling
snowflakes. Both Chocolate Ruffles and
Chatterbox sport plum purple foliage, the
former with tawny white owers and the lat-
ter with large pink ones.
One of the most famous hybrid coral bells
is the variety Purple Palace. It won
Perennial of the Year in 1991 and remains
popular, frequently turning up for sale in
spring even though youd hardly look twice
at its greenish-yellow owers. The foliage
is, of course, bold purple, making it a nice
foil, like other dark-leaved plants, for
bright red or orange owers, which can look
jarring against a backdrop of green leaves.
EASY TO GROW
AND MULTIPLY
For all they offer, coral bells and its kin
are not particularly difcult to grow. Like
most other garden plants, they enjoy a soil
that drains well yet holds moisture a con-
dition created in any soil that is kept
enriched with organic materials such as
compost, leaves and wood chips.
Generally, these plants thrive in either
full sun or partial shade, although the leaves
of American alumroot and hybrids with mar-
bled or variegated foliage will scorch in full
sun in hot weather. Give them partial shade,
preferably in the afternoon.
Adequate water and removal of spent blos-
soms can keep all these plants bedecked
with blossoms right up until fall. But some
gardeners contend that the newer hybrids of
coral bells are worth growing more for their
Coral bells beauty lies in leaves, blossoms alike

airy sprays of tiny, bell-shaped, red, pink or white owers.

Start with amenities like a monster
TV or re pit, add a never-ending sup-
ply of munchies and a relaxed attitude
toward your kids bringing home a
friend or ve and you may just
nd that your place has become THE
place where the tweens and teens want
to be.
A hangout house is often the rst
spot kids think to gather to work on a
school project or binge on the latest
Xbox game or silly YouTube videos.
There are some houses that are sort
of like magnetic, says Dana Points,
editor-in-chief of Parents magazine.
Ahangout house is well-stocked, wel-
coming, casually decorated and not too
fussy, and where theres an adult pres-
ent, but on the periphery.
Sure, with more kids around you can
count on some extra cleanup or home
repairs, a louder-than-usual roar, and
the expense of keeping kids in chips,
cookies and (maybe even) baby car-
rots.
But parents who open their doors to
the masses say the upsides are being
able to keep tabs on their kids, getting
to know their friends well and gaining
a peek into their tender worlds.
I have girls, so its very important
to have them here, said Tammy
Smith, 48. I felt safer with them
being here. The best way to keep your
kids and their friends where you can see
them is to own a pool and a pool
house.
Seven years ago, she and her hus-
band built an 8,000-square-foot home
on nearly 13 acres in Trussville,
Alabama, so they would have room for
a heated pool and hot tub. After Friday
night high school football games, her
daughters would often pile in with
eight or nine girls (plus boys who were
eventually sent home) for a swim or
sleepover. Besides swimming, the
kids could play ping pong, pool or
video games.
Two years ago, the Smiths added a
$115,000 open-air pool house, decked
out with replace, large TV, refrigera-
tor, two grills and couches, to make
the pool area attractive year-round.
Its nice to know theyre safe
because theyre outside with music on,
plenty of food and drink versus a
movie theater parking lot, Smith
said, adding that now, at ages 19 and
24, her daughters still regularly invite
friends over.
Another hangout-house parent, Jeff
Kasky, says its not necessarily whats
in his ve-bedroom home that makes
it a draw; its his relaxed yet not over-
ly permissive approach.
Afather of boys ages 12, 13 and 16,
Kasky resides on a kid-lled cul-de-sac
in a gated community in Delray Beach,
Florida, with his ancee, who has a 7-
year-old daughter. The four kids enjoy
having friends over, especially the
two older boys.
Kids play on gaming systems or
watch football on the 120-inch, high-
definition TV with surround sound,
enjoy the fire pit, practice musical
instruments and just lie all over the
place on couches and recliners.
They know when they come over to
our house, theres no pretense, Kasky
says. They can just have a good time.
Its good, clean fun.
Since Kasky is, in his own words, a
fairly immature 46-year-old, he
gives his kids leeway to get a little
rowdy as long as the antics stay posi-
tive.

How to help daffodils
make more daffodils
By Lee Reich
Now that daffodil bloom time has passed, some gardeners
might be wondering where their owers were. If some plants
remained all leaves, with few or no owers, why was that?
It might be that overhanging trees have made the location
too shady. But the more likely culprit is the plants age.
As a daffodil bulb gets older, baby bulbs, called offsets,
develop snuggled up against its side. You can picture this
most clearly if you realize that a daffodil bulb is, essential-
l y, a compressed stem. That stem is the plate at the base
of the bulb, and the leaves are the eshy scales up and
around it.
Just as any stem eventually makes side branches, a bulb
also, with time, branches. These branches the offsets
likewise beget their own babies. So what you have over
time is a lot of bulbs of varying sizes packed into a very
small space.
The offsets wont ower until they reach a certain size. If
they are too crowded, they have trouble reaching that size.
The result: few or no blooms. (It pays, then, when purchas-
ing bulbs, to get large ones; they make more owers their
rst spring.)
GIVE THE BULBS MORE ELBOW ROOM
The obvious solution is to give each developing bulb
more room. Dig up the bulbs and separate them as soon as
the foliage turns brown. The youngest ones, the ones that
have just split off from their mothers, are spoon-shaped.
Older ones are round and, if large enough, will each house a
single ower bud, possibly two. The larger the bulbs, the
better the blooms.
No need to plant the divided bulbs back in the ground
immediately. Bulb nurseries store their daffodil bulbs out of
the soil in a cool room. It is during the summer, when the

leaves than for their owers.
Look around and decide for yourself.Then,
if you see a plant that you like, you can
with the owners permission, of course
propagate new ones like it.
Every three years or so, the clumps need
dividing, an opportune time to garner a
sprig or two or three, with attached roots,
for replanting.
The time to divide plants is in spring. If
you cant wait till then, start some new
plants from leaf cuttings. Stick whole
leaves, with a bit of their stems still
attached, into a owerpot lled with moist
sand or a mix of half peat and half perlite.
Put the pot in bright, but not direct, light

For a slew of coral bells plants, sow seeds
in spring. They germinate easily, coming

bulbs are apparently dormant, that buds
inside the bulbs morph into ower buds.
Optimum conditions for this change in daf-
fodils are when storage is at 75 percent
humidity and temperatures are around 60
degrees. Easiest, of course, is just to stick
the bulbs back in the ground, giving each
one enough room to develop and make
babies for a few years.
With good conditions, a spoon-shaped
baby becomes a small owering bulb after a
year, and in another year that small ower-
ing bulb can make two ower buds. After
another year, the double-nose, as its
called, is making offsets of its own.
DAFFODIL FUTURES
Daffodils like moderately rich soil that
stays moist but is not soggy. Because most
bulb growth takes place after owering, let
the foliage remain undisturbed until it
chooses to die down, even if its not all that
pretty in its nal throes. No tying it up or
tucking it beneath other plants leaves
either, as is sometimes recommended for
hiding the foliage out of sight. The leaves
need light to fatten up their attendant bulbs.

the measure because he works for the
Securities and Exchange Commission,
which is a regulatory agency for bond sales.
Its a short timeline, so were having to
do a fair amount of work in a limited amount
of time, said Superintendent Michael
Milliken. But weve put a lot of thought
into these decisions and this work. We have
a lot of condence that our enrollment will
grow in the next ve to seven years.
The district population has grown 42 per-
cent over the last seven years and it is pro-
jected to add between 719 and 1,400 stu-
dents in the next seven years, according to a
spring study by demographic rm Lapkoff
and Gobale. With this data, the Enrollment
and Facilities Task Force found that the addi-
tional 719 students requires about 30 more
classrooms, while 1,400 more students
would mean 60 more classrooms. The staff
proposes to plan construction in phases
over several years to allow for facilities
development to adjust to actual enrollment
growth, according to a staff report.
In addition, the charge of $19.98 per
$100,000 assessed property value would
provide more classrooms for core academics
such as science, math, reading and writing
and preparing students for high school, col-
lege and 21st-century careers, ofcials said.
This is something we dont take light-
l y, Milliken said. Its something we feel
compelled to do.
Adistrict survey showed support from 65
percent of voters for a bond of $18 per
$100,000 assessed property value. The
Nov. 4 ballot measure requires 55 percent
voter approval.
Last fall, Measure R, a consolidation of
two parcel taxes, received 70 percent voter
approval. The cost is $174 per parcel a year.
Measure G, a $96 a year parcel tax for 10
years, passed in 2004. It generates about
$1.2 million annually. In 2008, voters
passed Measure U, a seven-year $78 annual
tax that brings in about $950,000 per year.
Measure R is a 10-year parcel tax starting
July 1, 2015. In 2010, two bond measures
were also approved by district voters, total-
ing $60 million for repairs, technology
upgrades and bringing buildings up to code.
Were optimistic and encouraged by that
support, Milliken said. We also know we
have communicated and will have to com-
municate a rationale for the measure.
Meanwhile, voter opinion research con-
ducted in June indicates that community
support for a bond to address school over-
crowding is nearly 70 percent. The district
says its also conducted community out-
reach in an effort to inform the community
about consideration of a bond measure. Two
mailers to all residents of the district and an
email to parents of all school district stu-
dents have been sent out in the last month.
The correspondence invited the community
to the Tuesday meeting.

One of the unique things about the surf
program is that its for the entire family. So
to put the dynamic around no its not we
can never go to the movies because our son
is autistic or because our brother had a melt-
down in this restaurant, we cant go here
now. Its we get to go to this special beach
day because we have an autistic kid or broth-
er. So it was a beautiful way to ip that
dynamic around, Dunlap said.
Square Peg generally caters to children on
the autism spectrum but also works with
those with Tourettes or Usher syndromes,
Dunlap said.
Dunlap said she was inspired to start
Square Peg through her own experience and
understanding that having a child with spe-
cial needs can make it challenging for fami-
lies to engage in social activities.
My own son had some learning difcul-
ties and I was a young mom and I felt really
isolated and unsupported, Dunlap said. As
a parent with a son who learned differently,
and meeting with other [similarly situated]
parents, I kind of gured out their same
sense of isolation and I just really felt like
those were the people I could serve the
best.
Ivette Bookman said she traveled from
Santa Clara with her husband and two chil-
dren for the rare outing where she was able
to relax while surf club teens patiently
played with her 6-year-old autistic son
Benetton.
It is really hard, but we take him every-
where we go, Bookman said. Its so hard
for me to come to the beach, I cant .
Especially because he doesnt understand
danger.
Bookman said she refuses to become a
parent who avoids going out due to the chal-
lenges of having a child with learning dis-
abilities. However, its been a struggle to
nd no-cost activities suitable for her par-
ticular family dynamic, Bookman said.
The Square Peg surf day was just the sec-
ond time in six years Bookman said she
found a free sporting activity the whole
family could enjoy.
As a parent, you feel very thankful that
there are other people willing to help your
kids, especially with autism. Thats a big
thing for us as a parent, Bookman said.
We were looking for opportunities, and
this is a big opportunity.
Dunlap said Square Peg will host a second
surf day Friday and runs her family camps
free of charge. Square Peg hosts three fami-
lies on its ranch at a time and had 18 slots
opened this year; within two hours of post-
ing the notices, the spots were lled. This
speaks to an incredible need for these types
of programs and there are currently 40 peo-
ple on the wait list, Dunlap said.
Finding programs that are appropriate
and safe, that understand sensory difculties
because autism is a spectrum so nding a
program thats exible enough to adapt,
that is kind and compassionate enough to
deal with a complete meltdown and realize
that its not a child acting spoiled, its a
child having a neurological storm that he
needs to work through, Dunlap said.
Members of the Half Moon Bay Surf Club
and junior lifeguard program joyously sur-
rounded Square Peg kids with supportive
hands to teach them how to surf, play in the
water and bask in the sun.
Surf Club coach Rocky Raynor said these
camp days are meaningful for all involved.
The surprising thing for me was when we
had our rst camp, how much it affected our
kids, our surf club kids. They all of a sudden
got it. It was a day not about them, it was a
day about others and how these special
needs kids touch their heart, Raynor said.
Dunlap said expanding Square Peg from a
horseback riding program into offering
summer surf days was a great transition.
Children with autism can struggle with a
variety of sensory triggers from orescent
lights to the sound of a refrigerator, Dunlap
said. But the physical activity of surng
combined with the rhythmic motion of the
ocean has proved to be therapeutic for many
Square Peg kids, Dunlap said.
Surng is a passion and its a lifestyle,
so any time we can have an activity thats
so engrossing and that people are passion-
ate about, when they offer that to families
who might have some different struggles,
were doing something really great,
Dunlap said. Its really about the support.
Every one of these kids is surrounded by
a bunch of hyperactive teenagers with huge
smiles on their faces and I think thats real-
ly where the specialness happens.

SUBURBAN LIVING 19
By Melissa Rayworth
Working with wood comes naturally to New
York interior designer Dan Faires. He grew up
in an old farmhouse and has been developing
his carpentry skills for much of his life.
So in any house or apartment he occupies,
he nds creative ways to decorate with this
natural material. To rehab an apartment in
Arkansas recently, he covered the dark pine
oor with coats of glossy white paint,
instantly brightening the room and making it
seem larger.
But many homeowners have no experience
working with wood, so they dont realize,
Faires says, how easy it is to make a home
more beautiful by improving the existing
wood or creatively adding new wood to walls,
oors and even ceilings.
Designer Brian Patrick Flynn, creator of
the Flynnside Out Productions design blog,
agrees: While different materials come and
go with trends, wood is here to stay. Whether
its for a homes exterior, bedroom walls or
for adding shade to your yard or deck, wood is
an investment that will never go out of
style.
Here, Faires, Flynn and Betsy Burnham of
the Los Angeles-based Burnham Design share
their favorite ways to decorate with wood.
FEATURE WALLS
Creating interior feature walls with soft
woods is an amazing way to add a focal point
to a room otherwise considered a basic dry-
wall box, Flynn says.
You can add decorative wood to a wall from
oor to ceiling, Burnham says, or just part of
the way up. Options include tongue-and-
groove panels, bead board or traditional
board and batten.
No matter what you choose, a decorative
layer of wood is so much more interesting
than drywall and paint, Burnham says. It
adds texture and interest and timelessness.
Living room or bedroom walls are great
candidates, but you can also use this tech-
nique to bring architectural interest to an
alcove or corner thats tough to decorate with
art, Faires says. Or cover the walls of a small
bathroom to remodel it inexpensively.
Another great spot to add wood: Interior
entryways, especially those in new construc-
tion homes, are a perfect t for a wainscoting
update, as it can make an entryway feel much
more grand, add graphic impact, break up the
monotony of drywall and also ensure a classic
look, says Flynn. Wainscoting is probably
one of the most traditional ways to use wood
indoors, and it can be used impactfully in any
room.
DRAMATIC TOUCHES
We expect to see wood on oors and walls,
but ceilings are also a great place to add it.
You can get creative with patterns, arrang-
ing panels of wood in a chevron or other
shape, rather than horizontally or vertical-
l y.
Overall, I say stick with a graphic pattern
thats large enough to read without becom-
ing too busy, Flynn says. Diamond pat-
terns are my favorite since theyre classic
and work with many different styles of decor
and architecture.
And you can experiment with color. Wood
ceilings can be painted the same shade as the
walls for a sophisticated look or in a con-
trasting color.
If youre really ambitious, add decorative
wood to a ceiling or wall in a pattern you
design yourself.
Ive drawn designs for full walls and had
them built in wood, like raised molding that
gives the entire wall a pattern, Burnham
says. She has undertaken complicated chi-
noiserie patterns, but you can plan a simpler
pattern and ask a carpenter to cut and install
the pieces.
Or consider a painted design: It takes time
and patience, but with a roll of painters tape
and several shades of paint, you can create
your own painted pattern on a ceiling or
wood oor.
CUSTOMIZED COLORS
If you dont see the stain you want at the
home-improvement store, nd one thats
close and talk to the paint guy, Faires
says. They actually can create a lot of wash-
es with water-based stains.
Or bring a paint swatch and ask to have
that color created as a water-based stain.
If you want to try creating a stain yourself,
heavily dilute paint with water, Faires
says, which is kind of the old school way of
doing it.
Flynn recommends choosing a stain that
is dark enough to add a touch of sophistica-
tion, but light enough that the grain of the
wood is properly showcased. Dark walnut
and pecan nishes are his favorites.
OUTDOOR BEAUTY
Dont forget about wood outside.
Decorative wood can add curb appeal to your
home, Flynn says.
To update the exterior of a modern house,
he recommends adding architectural interest
with stained softwoods like pine. This is an
excellent way to introduce a softer material
to a home otherwise outtted with heavy,
hard materials such as brick or stucco, he
says. My favorite trick is to install it verti-
cally rather than horizontally to instantly
add the illusion of more height to an other-

If you like the look of aged, distressed wood, take new planks of cedar or pine and stain them

Slocum, in his previous position,
pushed five or six years to move away
from polls and to mail-based elec-
tions. Despite the efforts, the idea
was stymied by concerns including a
potential dampening of minority
turnout and other adverse effects. But
quite the opposite is true, he said.
Mullins bill, which would add San
Mateo County to a pilot program
already underway in Yolo County, will
contribute more information about
how all-mail ballots would work
statewide and educate the public,
Slocum said.
That data can help propel greater
expansion beyond the two counties
after the pilot expires in 2018.
San Mateo County has long favored
absentee voting. In the June primary,
mail-in ballots accounted for 78 per-
cent of votes cast. Neighboring coun-
ties saw similar trends. Santa Clara
County noted 81 percent by mail and
Marin County had 77 percent, accord-
ing to Churchs data.
In 2010, San Mateo Countys char-
ter was amended to allow all-mail bal-
lots to fill supervisor vacancies and
the first such election in May 2011
showed a 26 percent turnout, higher
than special elections traditionally.
The cost was $713,149 of which the
county footed $561,086.
In contrast, an April 1997 special
election using traditional polling
places cost $467,000 and had 15.6
percent turnout.
Church said results can vary from
election to election which is why
more information like that expected
from the pilot project is necessary.
While the proposed legislations
goal is moving all voters to absentee
ballots, the bill also leaves a little
room for those who prefer the tradi-
tional method. In addition to sending
a ballot, return envelope and prepaid
postage to each voter, there will be at
least one physical polling place and
drop-off location in each city.
Although proponents of all-mail
elections cite their efficiency and
convenience as motivating factors,
Church said there are still challenges
including the price tag albeit sig-
nificantly less than traditional elec-
tions and the reliability of mail
service that could hypothetically
cause delays or losses. Church said
fraud like vote buying or coercion can
also happen along with a lack of pri-
vacy because votes arent cast in a
controlled setting but that none of
those possibilities have ever hap-
pened with current absentee voting.
Once the governor signs the legis-
lation, Mullin said the next hurdle is
getting the countys cities on board
to allow their municipal elections by
all-mail ballots.
I really want this to be utilized,
Mullin said.
Church said he anticipates most
would appreciate the change because
of the possible cost savings. That
said, he anticipates what he described
as an extensive educational process to
the municipalities and public.
The question, he said, will be which
districts or municipalities will be
tapped to participate.
All-mail ballots will also impact
the countys and states long-range
approach to voting systems. The
countys HART InterCivic electronic
system purchased in 2006 is aging
and the cost of a replacement will
depend on variables including the
potential of an all-mail process,
Church said.
For example, an all-mail system
would drop the existing 210 poling
places to roughly 20 or 25 which
means fewer staff and less equipment.
MAIL
cloverleaf. This would eliminate two
off-ramp loops and create two signal-
ized intersections at the entrances
onto El Camino Real, according to the
city.
The design phase of the project is
scheduled to be completed in mid-
2016, Caltrans spokeswoman Gidget
Navarro wrote in an email.
Construction should begin in 2017
and be completed in late 2018, weath-
er permitting, Navarro said.
The two main concerns are the con-
densed weaving sections for drivers
entering or exiting onto State Route
92 and overcrowding on off-ramps.
Because there are only two lanes on
State Route 92 at the intersection,
when the exit ramps leading to El
Camino Real become congested, trafc
spills onto the freeway leaving only
one lane functioning at normal speed.
As the project site is entirely in
Caltrans right-of-way and the state
agencys in-house staff has traffic
design expertise, it has taken the reins
in preparing the design and environ-
mental documents. The new coopera-
tive agreement now covers project
plans, specifications and engineer
estimates. The citys nancial contri-
butions will also assist with right-of-
way support, according to the report.
The preferred partial cloverleaf
design alternative was identified in
2010 by the Metropolitan
Transportation Commission, accord-
ing to a staff report. This cooperative
agreement is a big step in that it sup-
ports the preparation of the actual con-
struction plans for the partial clover-
leaf design, said city Engineering
Manager Gary Heap.
Navarro said the initial project
report phase took longer than expect-
ed due to complex trafc analysis. How
to handle traffic impacts will be
addressed during the construction
design phase, she added.
Heap said the city will be working to
help minimize construction impacts.
One of our roles is to make sure this
project goes as smoothly as possible
for our community. And part of that is
trafc control and making sure thats
well thought out and well executed dur-
ing construction, Heap said.
Other challenges of the project
include creating an optimum design to
accommodate all modes of transporta-
tion including buses, bicyclists and
pedestrians, Navarro wrote.
Financing for the project is derived
from federal, state and local sources.
The citys contributions include
spending $1 million on the design
phase from a $2.8 million federal
demonstration grant it received for
improvements to the interchange,
according to the staff report. It also
received $1.5 million from the San
Mateo County Transportation
Authority Measure AHighway Program
funds and will use $250,000 in devel-
oper trafc impact fee funds for the
local portion of the project funding.
However, the project in its entirety
is estimated to cost about $16 million,
Navarro said. Federal funds and money
from the State Transportation
Improvement Programs will also con-
tribute to the project, Navarro said.
Environmental documents and a neg-
ative declaration for the project were
approved in May, according to the
report.

Route 92/El Camino Real Interchange

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Charles D. Shaw
aka Charles Dana Shaw
Case Number: 124727
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Charles D. Shaw,
Charles Dana Shaw. A Petition for Pro-
bate has been filed by Maurice Overton
Shaw, Jr. in the Superior Court of Califor-
nia, County of San Mateo. The Petition
for Probate requests that Maurice Over-
ton Shaw, Jr. be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests the decdents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are availa-
ble for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: September 12,
2014 at 9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal au-
thority may affect your rights as a cred-
itor. You may want to consult with an at-
torney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

MOSCOW Russian President Vladimir
Putin on Wednesday hit back hard against
countries that have imposed sanctions over
the Ukraine crisis, ordering trade cuts that
an ofcial said would include a ban on all
imports of agricultural products from the
United States.
The full list of products to be banned or
limited for up to one year is to be published
Thursday. But the state news agency RIA
Novosti quoted Alexei Alexeenko of
Russias plant and veterinary oversight
service as saying from the USA, all prod-
ucts that are produced there and brought to
Russia will be prohibited.
Alexeenko also was quoted as saying he
thinks all fruits and vegetables from
European Union countries will also be
banned.
Putins order appears to show that Russia,
although increasingly suffering the effects
of Western sanctions, is disinclined to back
down on Ukraine. It follows the latest round
of sanctions against Russia imposed by the
EU last week, which for the rst time target-
ed entire sectors of the Russian economy.
The U.S. and the EU have accused Russia,
which annexed Ukraines Crimean
Peninsula in March, of fomenting tensions
in eastern Ukraine by supplying arms and
expertise to a pro-Moscow insurgency, and
have imposed asset freezes and loan bans on
a score of individuals and companies.
Russia denies such allegations.
White House spokeswoman Laura Lucas
Magnuson decried the import ban, saying
Retaliating against Western companies or
countries will deepen Russias international
isolation, causing further damage to its own
economy.
Russia depends heavily on imported food-
stuffs most of it from the West partic-
ularly in the largest and most prosperous
cities such as Moscow. Food and agricultur-
al imports from the U.S. amounted to $1.3
billion last year, according to the U.S.
Department of Agriculture, and in 2013 the
EUs agricultural exports to Russia totaled
11.8 billion euros ($15.8 billion).
U.S. poultry exports make up the largest
portion of the total, with a little more than
$300 million in exports to Russia last year.
According to the National Chicken
Council, Russia is the second-leading mar-
ket for U.S. chicken in terms of volume and
the third in terms of value.
Soybeans, tree nuts, tobacco and prepared
foods were other U.S. exports.
Putins order says the limits are being
imposed with the goal of guaranteeing the
security of the Russian Federation and
calls for undertaking measures to guard
against quick price hikes.
As tensions over Ukraine rise, a respected
newspaper this week cited unnamed sources
as saying Russia is considering closing its
airspace to European carriers ying to Asia.
The report sent the stocks of some airlines
sharply lower.
Report: Russia to block U.S.agricultural imports
By Frank Jordans
DARMSTADT, Germany Turning what
seemed like a science ction tale into reali-
t y, an unmanned probe swung alongside a
comet on Wednesday after a 4-billion mile
(6.4-billion kilometer) chase through outer
space over the course of a decade.
Europes Rosetta probe will orbit and
study the giant lump of dust and ice as it hur-
tles toward the sun and, if all goes according
to plan, drop a lander onto the comet in the
coming months.
Rosetta turned up as planned for its ren-
dezvous with comet 67P/Churyumov-
Gerasimenko somewhere between the orbits
of Mars and Jupiter.
The incredible trip, launched on March 2,
2004, marks a milestone in mankinds
effort to understand the mysterious shoot-
ing stars that periodically ash past Earth,
and which have often been viewed with fear
and trepidation.
While the moon, Mars and even asteroids
have been visited, no spacecraft has yet
gotten so close to a comet. Having achieved
this feat, Rosetta will go one step further
and drop a lander on 67Ps icy surface a
maneuver planned for November.
You can compare what weve done so far
to nding a speck of dust in a big city, said
Gerhard Schwehm, who was lead scientist
on the Rosetta mission until his recent
retirement.
Thats probably an understatement.
