U.S.-LED STRIKES CONTINUE ON ISLAMIC STATE
U.S.Economy
gains steam

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON The U.S.
economys bounce-back last quar-
ter from a dismal winter was even
faster than previously thought, a
sign that growth will likely
remain solid for rest of the year.
The economy as measured by
gross domestic product grew at a
4.6 percent annual rate in the
April-June quarter, the Commerce
Department said Friday. It was the
fastest pace in more than two years
and higher than the governments
previous estimate of 4.2 percent.
The upward revision reflected
stronger-than-expected business
investment and exports last quar-
ter.
The healthy second-quarter
growth marked a sharp rebound
from the January-March quarter,
when the economy shrank at a 2.1
percent rate in the midst of a brutal
winter that idled factories and kept
consumers at home.
Wall Street cheered the upbeat
economic report, which helped
spur the Dow Jones industrial

Pets and their owners will converge
on Broadway this Saturday to see who
will take home top prizes that range
from best trick to most unusual pet
and three-time winners the Graczewski
family will be back with their dog
Diggs.
In its 11th year, the Burlingame Pet
Parade should bring out about 1,500
people for free entertainment and art
projects for children. The Graczewski
family started participating as
observers the very rst year when their
son Will, now 11, was born.
Weve been liv-
ing in Burlingame
since 2000, said
Tim Graczewski.
Our son was just
born (in 2004) and
we brought him up
there to watch the
event and we literal-
ly have been to
every one since.
There will be about 750 participants
in the actual parade. All types of pets
are welcome and registration prior to
the event isnt necessary. The parade
has seen alpacas, miniature horses, a
blue skink, a teacup piglet, a snail on
a leaf, chickens accompanied by green
eggs and ham and a Dalmatian with
black, pink, blue and green spots.
Diggs, a 45-pound mix of part black
lab and part beagle and/or corgie, won
a prize for best costume when he
dressed up as Prince William with
another dog, as Kate, for the royal wed-
ding.
The rst year the family entered the
contest was when Tim, a reservist,
returned from Afghanistan in 2010
after serving in the U.S. Navy there.
Literally, the Pet Parade was the day
after I got home from Afghanistan, he

On most days, Mike Rohrbach is just your
everyday guy. He spends most of his time as
a mechanic and enjoys barbecuing with
friends when he can.
However, for the past four years in late
September, Rohrbach changes into a salsa-
making machine known as Capt. Mike
Rohrbach.
We came up with the idea four years ago
and we were just trying to carry on a theme,
Rohrbach said.
The Seventh Annual Salsa Festival res
its way through Redwood City Courthouse
Square this Saturday, Sept. 27 from noon to
8 p.m., featuring several professional and
amateur salsa chefs who will be competing
for fun and for prizes. The event will be free
to the public.
The Salsa Tasting and Competition will
be judged by the public from noon-5 p.m.
Based on the peoples choice, the rst
place winner will receive $500. Second
place will receive $350 and third place
$250. Other categories, including the Best
Hot Salsa, Best Mild Salsa and the Best
Decorated Booth, will receive $250 each.
Rohrbachs team will be manning a booth
with a boat theme that has won the best dec-
orative booth twice.
Our theme is We Rock the Boat and
everyone dresses up to try to make it look
cohesive and professional, Rohrbach said.
The boat has a mast and a sail and I have a
great group of friends who love to just have
fun with it.
Rohrbachs team will be preparing 10-12
pounds of salsa at 7:30 a.m. and usually n-
ishes by 2 p.m.
We make a salsa that is re roasted which
brings a smoky avor to it, said Rohrbach,
adding that the goal is not to have an over-
powering grill taste, but to have a taste that
incorporates all the avors of the ingredi-
ents.
We changed up the taste and produce a bit
by going to Sigonas Farmers Market, he
said. The salsa wont include habaneros
because thats when we start getting a ton of
heat and we dont want it to overpower the
tomatoes, peppers, onions, cilantro and
garlic.
Although his team works hard throughout
the event, Rohrbach emphasizes the relax-
ing feel of the festival.
Its nothing too crazy and the stress is
lower this year, he said. By 3 p.m. theres
30 of our friends just hanging out. The
events great for team building and its a fun
competition.
Along with the salsa festival, several
restaurants will be open for the public.
Tequila tasting, free hands-on art projects
and a childrens play area with a bounce
house are among other activities provided.
The festival will also feature several
music stages, including a variety of Latin
music like Salsa, along with Jazz. There
will also be a new Reggae stage. Expect a
night full of spicy salsas, music, dancing
and entertainment.

Man gets three years for
torture, killing of puppy
Crime committed in front
of his 4-year-old daughter
By Dennis Culver
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
ARedwood City man who pleaded no contest to killing
his puppy Lucky after torturing it for weeks in front of his
4-year-old daughter was sentenced to
two years in county jail Friday morning,
prosecutors said.
Alan Velete, 32, pleaded no contest in
July to felony animal cruelty and misde-
meanor child endangerment, according
to the San Mateo County District
Attorneys Office.
His abuse of the dog started last
December, when he moved into his girl-
friends mothers Redwood City apart-
ment with his girlfriend and their young daughter, prose-
cutors said.
He became enraged when the 4-month-old terrier defecat-
ed on the floor, setting off weeks of abuse, including
punching and kicking the puppy, spraying it in eyes with
household cleaners and keeping it in a crate in the bath-
room.
Prosecutors also said that he would put the dog in a duf-
fel bag and hang the bag in the shower, listening to it
whimper for hours. He also taped its mouth shut and force-
fed it his psychiatric drugs.
Prosecutors said Veletes girlfriend and her mother were
afraid to call police but her mother finally did after Velete
suffocated the dog on Jan. 6, put it in a duffel bag and threw
it in the garbage.
His girlfriends mother made an anonymous call to
police and Velete was arrested. He initially pleaded no con-
test to the charges, but changed his plea in July in a plea
deal with prosecutors in exchange for no more than three
years in prison.
In addition to the two-year jail sentence, Velete must
complete a year-long residential treatment program.

Nail technician Vinh Nguyen says he
just wants to be a normal man, but hes
going to have a lot more to spend than
most people after winning the $228.4
million Powerball ticket this week.
California lottery ofcials said Friday
that Nguyen bought the winning tick-
et at Dehoffs Key Market in San
Mateo on Wednesday and showed up at
their ofces yesterday.
The market also gets $1 million for
selling the prize ticket.
In a statement, the California
Lottery said Nguyen told them he
bought 15 Powerball tickets before the
drawing, and picked his numbers at
random.
He chose to receive the jackpot over
30 years rather than in a lump sum.
While the prize is one of the larger
payoffs, two other recent Bay Area
jackpots have been even larger. In
February, B. Raymond Buxton bought
a $425 million Powerball ticket from a
Milpitas gas station convenience
store. He claimed the prize in April. In
December, Steve Tran won $324 mil-
lion with a Mega Millions ticket he
bought at a San Jose gift shop.
The nations biggest lottery prize
was a Mega Millions jackpot of $656
million in 2012. The biggest
Powerball jackpot was a $590.5 mil-
lion last May.
Nguyen doesnt have plans for his
money yet.
I just want to be a normal man, he
said in the lotterys statement.

SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry
Brown has declared a special election
to ll the seat vacated by a former law-
maker convicted of voter fraud.
Brown issued a proclamation Friday
declaring a Dec. 9 special primary for
the 35th Senate District. The runoff
will be Feb. 10 if no candidate
receives more than 50 percent of the
vote.
Democratic Sen. Rod Wright
resigned this month after being sen-
tenced to three months in jail for
lying about where he lived when he
ran for his Los Angeles-area seat.
Wrights was the rst of three unre-
lated legal cases against Democratic
senators. All were suspended, costing
Senate Democrats their supermajority.
At least two Democratic lawmakers,
Assemblymen Isadore Hall of
Compton and Steven Bradford of
Gardena, have declared their candida-
cies. Both are termed out of their
Assembly seats.

SAN FRANCISCO Ride-sharing
companies Uber, Lyft and Sidecar are
being threatened with legal action in
San Francisco and Los Angeles over
how they screen drivers and charge
passengers, along with other business
practices.
The cities district attorneys sent let-
ters to the three companies, warning
they could face legal action if they fail
to change the practices.
The company Sidecar publicly
released a copy of the letter it received
Thursday from San Francisco District
Attorney George Gascon.
Gascon said he and Los Angeles
County District Attorney Jackie Lacey
have concluded Sidecar is making
misleading representations on its
website that it screens out drivers
who have ever committed driving
violations, DUI, sexual assault and
other criminal offenses.
The prosecutors also claim the way
Sidecar calculates shared fares allow-
ing people going the same way to hop
in a car and pay separately is illegal.
Sidecars rivals Lyft and Uber
received similar letters that also
included complaints about airport trips
and the transparency and accuracy of
the companies fares. The companies
and Gascons ofce declined to release
those letters.
In the letter to Sidecar, Gascon and
Lacy threatened to seek nes and other
penalties in court if the company did-
nt comply with his demands to
change its business practices. The dis-
trict attorneys want a response by
Monday and a face-to-face meeting by
Oct. 8.

Cal releases report on its
student-athlete grad rates
By Josh Dubow
BERKELEY California will raise the academic require-
ments of incoming student-athletes as part of an effort to
improve graduation rates for football players and other ath-
letes.
Chancellor Nicholas Dirks accepted the more than 50 rec-
ommendations made by a task force he put together last year
in response to low graduation rates in football, mens bas-
ketball and six other sports.
While many of the recommendations released Friday by
the Chancellors Task Force on Academics & Athletics
focused on doing a better job of integrating student-athletes
into campus life, the ones that could have the most impact
on the eld are the increased standards for applicants.
But Dirks said the on-eld expectations are not changing.
We intend to continue to compete at the very high level
that we do and be even better in some sports in the future,
Dirks said.
The 20-member task force was formed last fall after
reports that Cals 44 percent graduation rate for football
players who entered school from 2003-06 was the lowest of
any major conference team. The 38 percent rate in mens
basketball was fourth worst among major conferences.

Brown authorizes lactation
rooms at major airports
SACRAMENTO Starting in 2016,
Californias major airports will have to
offer a private room for mothers to breast-
feed or pump milk.
Gov. Jerry Brown announced Friday that
he has signed AB1787 by Democratic
Assemblywoman Bonnie Lowenthal of
Long Beach.
Under the bill, terminals at existing air-
ports must offer rooms with a chair and an
electrical outlet for the pump, while new ter-
minals must include rooms with sinks.
It applies to airports serving more than 1
million passengers a year. San Francisco
International is the only airport in
California currently offering such accom-
modations.
Transgender status to
be on death certificates
SACRAMENTO Transgender people
have the right to have their gender identity
properly recognized on death certicates
under legislation signed by Gov. Jerry
Brown.
The governor announced Friday that he
signed AB1577 by Assembly Speaker Toni
Atkins, a fellow Democrat from San Diego.
Starting in January, the legislation
requires the person who lls out a death cer-
ticate for a transgender person to record
the sex that reects his or her gender identi-
t y. Under the law, this would be determined
by the person who is in the best position to
know.
Review of potential

of Santa Barbara will become law.

NEWYORK Health ofcials are investi-
gating nine cases of muscle weakness or
paralysis in Colorado children and whether
the culprit might be a virus causing severe
respiratory illness across the country.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention on Friday sent doctors an alert
about the polio-like cases and said the germ
enterovirus 68 was detected in four out
of eight of the sick children who had a certain
medical test. The status of the ninth case is
unclear.
The virus can cause paralysis but other
germs can, too. Health ofcials dont know
whether the virus caused any of the childrens
arm and leg weaknesses or whether its just a
germ they coincidentally picked up.
Thats why we want more information,
and for doctors to report similar cases, said
the CDCs Dr. Jane Seward.
The cases occurred within the last two
months. All nine children are being treated at
Childrens Hospital Colorado in Aurora, and
most are from the Denver area. A hospital
spokeswoman said the patients families did-
nt want to talk to the media.
The nine children had fever and respiratory
illness about two weeks before developing
varying degrees of limb weakness. None
seems to have a weak immune system or other
conditions that might predispose them to
severe illness, but the cases are still being
investigated, Seward said. Investigators dont
think its polio eight of the nine children
are up to date on polio vaccinations. Its not
known whether the limb weakness or paraly-
sis is temporary or will be long-lasting.
The cases come amid an unusual wave of
severe respiratory illness from enterovirus
68. The germ is not new it was rst identi-
ed in 1962 and has caused clusters of illness
before, including in Georgia and
Pennsylvania in 2009 and Arizona in 2010.
Because its not routinely tested for, its pos-
sible the bug spread in previous years but was
never distinguished from colds caused by
other germs.
Virus probed in paralysis

CHICAGO The U.S. Olympic
Committee received near-unanimous sup-
port from the countrys sports federations
in a poll asking whether they would support
a bid for the 2024 Olympics another sign
that a U.S. city will make a run at hosting
the next available Summer Games.
In his annual address Friday to the USOC
Assembly, CEO Scott Blackmun said 40 of
the 47 national governing bodies took part
in the poll and all 40 answered positively to
the question: Is it important for the United
States to host the Games?
The USOC is in the nal stages of decid-
ing whether to put a city up for considera-
tion. Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco
and Washington are the candidates.
Blackmun said at the next assembly, a
year from now, hopefully well be in the
nal stages of submitting a bid.
The U.S. last hosted the Summer Games in
Atlanta in 1996. The 2016 Olympics are
scheduled for Rio de Janerio and the 2020
Games were recently awarded to Tokyo.
The NGBs also answered with an over-
whelming No to the question of whether a
bid takes the USOCs focus off its main mis-
sion, which is supporting athletes.
Having the sports federations on board is
no small thing. Five years ago, when
Chicago was bidding for the 2016 Games,
the NGBs were in open rebellion against the
newly appointed CEO, Stephanie Streeter. It
was the USOCs dysfunction, both domesti-
cally and internationally, that voters and
observers blamed for Chicagos last-place
nish.
Olympic sports on board for U.S. 2024 bid
Around the state
The CDC has been testing a limited number of specimens from very sick children around the
country, and as of Thursday reported 277 people in 40 states and the District of Columbia
with enterovirus 68. So far no deaths have been attributed to the virus.

Obituary
Bay Bridge officials concerned about rod corrosion
SAN FRANCISCO State transportation ofcials are try-
ing to determine if giant steel rods on the Bay Bridges new
eastern span have been damaged by exposure to water.
Transportation ofcials said Thursday that inspectors last
week discovered that several of the galvanized steel rods
that anchor the 525-foot tower to its base had been sitting
in water that could cause corrosion.
Caltrans has drained the water, but ofcials dont know
how long the rods were exposed to water and whether they
were compromised. To check, they would need to remove
and cut them into pieces.
A similar issue emerged last year when rainwater was
found surrounding many of the 32 rods that snapped after
being tensioned on the new bridge. Caltrans spent $25 mil-
lion on a replacement system for the rods, which were used
to anchor seismic stabilizers.
It appears the water, most likely from rain, became
trapped under caulking before the tower was lowered into
position starting in 2010, said Andrew Fremier, deputy
executive director of the Metropolitan Transportation
Commission, which oversees the bridge project.
We have more work to do so we understand the problem
as best we can, Fremier said.
To help determine if the rods were compromised, ofcials
plan to test the water for zinc, which is left behind when
hydrogen attacks galvanized steel, Fremier said.
Steve Heminger, the commissions executive director,
expects a full report on the bridges latest rod problems at a
meeting of the bridge oversight panel Tuesday, said agency
spokesman Randy Rentschler.

South San Francisco
selects new police chief
South San Francisco has selected
Jeff Azzopardi as its new chief of
police. Azzopardi
replaces former
police chief Mike
Massoni, who
recently retired after
35 years of service
with the South San
Francisco Police
Department, the last
ve years serving as
chief.
Azzopardi is a 22-
year veteran of the South San
Francisco Police Department, starting
in 1993.
Over the past ve months, the city
conducted a nationwide search for a
new police chief, which yielded 34
applicants from around the United
States. Through an extensive vetting
process, six nalists were selected and
after numerous panel and individual
interviews, Azzopardi emerged as the
most qualied candidate, according to
the city.
Boy, 17, reported missing
San Mateo police are searching for a

reported missing by
his family Friday
just after noon.
Police said he sent
a text to his family
apologizing and
making implied he
could be a danger to
himself. He is
described as black,
6 feet 1 inch, 195
pounds, with black hair and brown
eyes. He may be in Santa Clara
County, somewhere near the Los
Trancos open space area. Santa Clara
law enforcement agencies have been

police in locating him, according to
police.
Man arrested in
auto dealership thefts
One more vehicle, from the group of
eight taken early last Sunday morning
from a Belmont auto dealership, has
been recovered in the East Bay and a
suspect is in custody, according to
Belmont police.
On Sunday, Sept. 21 between 1 a.m.
and 3 a.m., unknown suspects took
eight vehicles from a lot at the
Autobahn Motors Mercedes dealership
on Island Parkway in Belmont. Over
the past week, Belmont police detec-
tives have been working with the San
Mateo County Vehicle Theft Task
Force and other Bay Area law enforce-
ment agencies on the investigation.
By Tuesday, six of the eight vehicles
stolen from the dealership had been
recovered, all abandoned in Oakland,
according to police.
On Wednesday, investigators learned
that one of the outstanding vehicles
may be in the area of East 19th Avenue
in Oakland and that information was
relayed to the Oakland ofce of the
California Highway Patrol. At
approximately 9:35 p.m. Wednesday,
CHP officers located the vehicle, a
2013 Mercedes ML350, and arrested
Jeremy Redwood, 24, of Oakland,
without incident, according to police.
Redwood was booked into the
Alameda County Jail on multiple
charges including auto theft, posses-
sion of stolen property and violation
of probation.
Man convicted of
first-degree murder
for cutting womans throat
A Redwood City jury found an East
Palo Alto man guilty of rst-degree
murder Thursday for cutting his girl-
friends throat last year in a t of mis-
guided jealousy.
Richard Earl Slaughter, 49, had been
living with Philomena Ashford-
Anderson, 47, for seven months in an
apartment building at 45 Newell Road
in East Palo Alto when he stabbed her
and cut her throat in August of 2013,
according to San Mateo County
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Slaughter then drank a bottle of hard
liquor, took a gun the victim kept for
self-protection and drove off ,
Wagstaffe said.
In his drunken state, Slaughter hit
two cars and injured the occupant of
one, Wagstaffe said.
Redwood City police arrested
Slaughter on suspicion of drunk driv-
ing. Once he was booked into the
San Mateo County Jail, Slaughter
told deputies he had attacked the vic-
tim, Wagstaffe said.
Police ofcers visited the apartment
building and found Ashford-Anderson
dead with multiple stab wounds to her
torso, according to East Palo Alto
police Capt. Federico Rocha.
Slaughter will return to court on
Nov. 18 to face sentencing for rst-
degree murder, felony possession of a
rearm by a felon, having a loaded
rearm in a vehicle and felony drunk
driving, Wagstaffe said.
Countys LGBTQ Commission
set to hold its first meeting
San Mateo Countys Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual, Transgender and Queer
Commission hosted its rst meeting
Friday afternoon after being created in
June as the rst commission of its kind
on the city or county level in
California.
The LGBTQ Commission met from
4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the Board of
Supervisors chambers at 400 County
Center in Redwood City.
The commission was created via a
resolution sponsored by Supervisor
David Pine after members of the
LGBTQ community requested a formal
body within the county government to
further the cause of inclusiveness and
give input on policy decisions.
The LGBTQ Commission was ini-
tially planned to have nine members,
but after 50 residents applied for the
seats, the board expanded the commis-
sion to contain 11 members. The panel
will meet at least six times per year and
the members will serve three-year
terms.
The commission members include
Dr. Jei Africa, of San Mateo; Richard
Faust, of Pacica; Jason Galisatus, of
Redwood City; Gabe Garcia, of Portola
Valley; Stan Kiino, of San Mateo; Kate
MacKay, of South San Francisco; Alex
Neumann, of Atherton and the panels
youth representative; Glenda Savage,
of East Palo Alto; Lynn Schuette, of
Pacica; Stevie Stallmeyer, of Menlo
Park; and Jennifer Walter, of Half
Moon Bay.
San Mateo County is honored to add
the LGBTQ Commission to our family
of community advisory and advocacy
bodies, Pine, the Board of
Supervisors president, said in a state-
ment. Diverse, community-based
voices are critical for developing pub-
lic policy that reects the needs and
values of San Mateo County resi-
dents.

OPINION 9
Beach access
Editor,
Reading the article about Mr. Vinod
Khosla, I am dismayed at the Superior
Courts ruling (Judge rules for beach
access in the Sept. 25 edition of the
Daily Journal). According to Judge
Mallachs tentative ruling, Mr.
Khosla violated the California
Coastal Act by not getting a permit
to close a road on his property. On
the face of it, the requirement sounds
absurd. Its his property; he probably
paid a steep price for it. Shouldnt he
have a right to close the road if he
chooses to do so?
One fact given in the article was
that it was the Surfrider Foundation
that led suit against Mr. Khosla. It
makes one wonder, why didnt they
buy the property when it became
available? If not the whole property,
then the road as an easement?
Alternatively, they could have peti-
tioned the state to buy it. In any case,
neither did. Failing to do so, why on
Gods green earth would they presume
to step foot on Mr. Khoslas proper-
ty?
When I travel the countys coast, I
see plenty of publicly owned lands
with beach access. On the other hand,
I also see plenty of privately owned
lands, some with roads or pathways
to the beach. They all have posted
signs: No beach access, or Private
Property; Do Not Enter. Why is it
different for Mr. Khosla?
By the way, the 1972 proposition
titled, the California Coastal
Commission Initiative, describes a
California Coastal Commission that
is temporary. What happened? Now
its permanent and what originally
covered a narrow band of coastline
now extends inland 5 miles.

Eric Holders legacy
Editor,
Eric Holder deserves credit for
aggressively pursuing civil rights
cases and using his high ofce in
advancing race relations. On the i p
side, his record on prosecuting nan-
cial fraud has been an abysmal failure.
None of the executives have been
held accountable for the Wall Street
crash which led to the worst recession
in 70 years. The Department of
Justice found large rms which
engaged in money laundering on
behalf of narcotrafckers in countries
hostile to the United States but decid-
ed not to prosecute them because they
were too big to fail or too big to jail.
This sent a comforting message to
these nancial institutions that they
were beyond reach of the law and thus
encouraged to continue their illegal,
protable practices. The Department
of Justice decided to give a virtual free
pass to most of these offenders and
used deferred and non-prosecution
procedures which amounted to small
nes and no prosecutions.
An unprecedented war on journalists
and whistle-blowers has been pursued
using the odious 1917 Espionage Act
which was used to repress dissent dur-
ing wartime. Finally, Holders DOJ-
sanctioned drone attacks resulting in
the death of scores of innocent civil-
ians and provided the legal cover for
raw executive power. The New York
Times James Risen, who the Obama
administration wants to prosecute,
told Maureen Dowd that President
Obama is the greatest enemy to
press freedom in a generation.

Letters to the editor
By Steve Okamoto
I
hope everyone has sent their
sympathy and thoughts to the
North Bay communities hit by
the recent South Napa Earthquake. A
special concern goes to those who
have been injured and have sustained
damage to their homes and business-
es. In addition, let us also praise the
outstanding work, effective coordina-
tion and strong community spirit of
the city and county of Napa, their
round-the-clock efforts to deal with
the disaster impacts and their speedy
recovery for the community.
But we must also think about the
future. Next month will be the 25th
anniversary of the 1989 Loma Prieta
earthquake. Loma Prieta was a 6.9 cat-
egory shaker which caused billions of
dollars in damage and hundreds hurt or
killed.
I recall the somber prediction of the
folks from the United States
Geological Survey which stated that
there was a strong probability that
another Big One would occur in the
next 30 years. I did the math and there
are only ve years left in the geolo-
gists prediction. The USGS periodi-
cally updates these forecasts and cur-
rently they estimate that the overall
probability of a
magnitude 6.7 or
greater earthquake
in the Greater Bay
Area in the next 25
years is 63 percent.
One of the best
ways to be ready
for the next signi-
cant earthquake
or really any disaster that might affect
Foster City is through a group here
in Foster City called Community
Emergency Response Team or CERT.
Following a major disaster, rst
responders who provide re and med-
ical services will not be able to meet
all the emergency calls to take care of
victims. There will be communica-
tions breakdowns, road blockages and
building collapses. In other words, we
will need to take care of ourselves and
our neighbors and not count on local
re and medical personnel to rush to
our aid for some time.
CERTis a free course that trains
you, our Foster City residents, in
skills related to disaster response,
such as re safety, light search and
rescue, medical care and communica-
tions skills. CERTalso has ongoing
continuing education classes that
go beyond the core curriculum into
specialty areas such as preparedness
for pets and what you should have in
your emergency kits. Find out when
the next CERTclass begins at
www.FosterCityCERT.org. Both my
wife and I are CERTmembers and have
found the information to be invalu-
able for giving us condence that we
know what to do if a disaster strikes.
The re department also periodical-
ly offers a basic two-hour, seminar-
style emergency preparedness class
through the recreation center that
includes information about readying
your family for an earthquake or other
disaster and they have a lot of infor-
mation on their website for those who
prefer to do it yourself. To learn
more about these opportunities visit

The pendulum swings
By Jonathan Madison
N
ewtons First Law of Physics holds that an object
that is in motion will not change its velocity
unless an external, unbalanced force acts upon it.
In politics, you and I the American voters are an exter-
nal force that has the means to fundamentally inuence the
success of the political parties that navigate the direction of
our nation on a continual basis. Does this make you feel
powerful? It should.
That being said, dont be naive.
Interest groups and corporations also
play a central role in inuencing our
political system through their large-
scale nancing power. But, keep in mind
that the goal is often the same to
inuence the American voter. That means
that power is still ultimately vested in
the hands of the informed American
voter. History also shows us patterns in
which the American voter ideologically
shifts from backing one political party to another. For our
purposes here, lets call such a pattern the voter pendulum.
World renowned philosopher Niccol di Bernardo dei
Machiavelli once wrote that absolute power corrupts
absolutely. If you get the sense that this quote applies to
four of the elected members of the California Legislature
or 15 percent of the Democratic state Senate who have
been arrested or charged with criminal activity in this year
alone, rest assured, you are not alone.
Are you surprised? Dont be. History tells us that elected
supermajorities outlive their welcome due to corruption and
critical mistakes. Unfortunately, most of us acknowledge
that corruption plays a somewhat recurring role in politics.
History also shows us that a wave of corruption in any
political party is usually a red ag that the voter pendulum is
swinging with force in a new direction. Some scholars refer
to these voter pendulum swings as political realignments.
According to a History and Government article from
Hippocampus.org, the rst American voter pendulum swing
took place in President Andrew Jacksons election in 1828,
which concluded what remained of the Federalist Party. The
Federalist Party was weakened and disorganized by a wave of
corrupt events and schemes, which ultimately led to a large
shift in the voter turnout for President Jackson. President
Jacksons party todays Democratic Party grew signi-
cantly during this period.
The next pendulum would not swing until President
Abraham Lincolns election in 1860. This election marked
the beginning of the Republican era. President Lincoln is
credited with uniting the country upon the brink of dissolu-
tion, guiding the country through an unprecedented Civil
War and issuing the Emancipation Proclamation a docu-
ment declaring that slaves were now free.
Sixty years later, the Republican stronghold in politics
was broken when Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt was
elected president in 1932. President Roosevelt promised a
New Deal that would bring Americans out of the Great
Depression.
With the exception of Republican President Dwight D.
Eisenhowers election in 1953, the Democratic Party domi-
nated our national political spectrum until President Lyndon
Johnsons poorly known handling of the Vietnam War.
Since then, each party has only been able to sustain short
lived moments of control, such as President Ronald
Reagans prominent leadership during the Cold War,
President Jimmy Carters poor scal handling of the econo-
my during his term and Republicans winning the majority
in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2010 after the
Democrats won a majority in both chambers two years earli-
er with President Barack Obamas election.
Political pundits such as Nate Silver in Time magazine
suggests the GOP has a newfound swagger and predict there
is a good chance the party will pick up enough seats in this
Novembers midterm elections to win control of the U.S.
Senate. Ironically, in 2008, with the Iraq surge and President
George Bushs low approval ratings, no one could have
imagined that the GOP had any chance to take a majority in
either congressional chamber. This may not mean that the
party takes back a majority this November, but it does indi-
cate that the voter pendulum is swinging in the right
direction.
History shows that Americans generally have a tendency to
vote in elections based on the illusions of change and a
better tomorrow. These ideas never fail to drive voters to the
polls. Some may call this a vice, but I call it an essential
value. It is the driving force behind the voter pendulum in
each realignment. It explains why neither of the two predomi-
nant parties in America have ever held majority power for
more than 65 years. It shows that Americans believe that no
matter how well you and I think we may have it, that we
should always ght for something better in the next election.

NEW YORK Good economic and
corporate news helped the stock market
stage a rebound at the end of a turbulent
week of trading. Nike jumped after turn-
ing in higher prots, leading the Dow
Jones industrial average higher.
The Standard & Poors 500 index,
the benchmark for most mutual funds,
still lost 1.4 percent for the week. The
biggest drop came Thursday, the worst
day for the stock market since July 31.
A steep drop one day is often fol-
lowed by gains the next as investors
hunt for beaten-down stocks. After
yesterday, its only normal to get a lit-
tle bit back because people tend to buy
on the dips, said Jason Pride, director
of investment strategy at Glenmede
Trust.
The Dow surged 167.35 points, or 1
percent, to close at 17,113.15 on
Friday. The S&P 500 index rose 16.86
points, or 0.9 percent, to 1,982.85
and the Nasdaq composite climbed
45.45 points, or 1 percent, to
4,512.19.
The day started with good news. The
government reported that the U.S.
economy expanded at an annual rate of
4.6 percent in the spring, the fastest
pace in more than two years. That was
followed by a strong reading of con-
sumer sentiment this month.
Nike jumped 12 percent after report-
ing that solid sales and lower taxes
helped drive its quarterly prot up 23
percent. Both its earnings and revenue
beat Wall Streets estimates. Nikes
stock gained $9.75 to $89.50, the
largest gain among the 30 big compa-
nies in the Dow.
It was a roller coaster of a week, with
the Dow swinging more than 100
points on all ve days. The turbulence
broke a long period of calm and light
trading.
Some investment strategists expect
to see more big swings as investors
speculate over the Federal Reserves
next steps. Economists expect the Fed
to raise its benchmark short-term
interest rate next year, but nobody is
sure exactly when. The Fed hasnt
raised that rate since June 2006.
Were getting closer and closer to
the Feds rst rate hike, said Russ
Koesterich, global chief investment
strategist at the money manager
BlackRock. All that liquidity that the
Fed created curbed volatility. As that
liquidity recedes, volatility rises back
to normal. Were just starting to get a
taste of what normal is like.
Pride said he expects the market to
resume its climb as the economy
improves. I think well continue to
grind higher because the economic
momentum is still there, he said.
Among other companies in the
news, Januss stock soared 43 percent
following news that famed bond-fund
manager Bill Gross, a founder of bond
giant Pimco, is leaving to join the
rm. Janus said Gross, who ran the
worlds largest bond fund, starts work
next Monday. Janus jumped $4.78 to
$15.89.
An investment fund with a stake in
Yahoo sent a letter to Yahoos CEO
urging the company to consider merg-
ing with AOL. Jeffrey Smith, who
heads Starboard Value, wrote that a deal
could save as much as $1 billion and
create a more competitive company.
Yahoo climbed $1.71, or 4 percent, to
$40.66.
The euro continued to slide against
the dollar, dipping to $1.268. It has
lost more than 3 percent against the
dollar this month.
The report on economic growth
weighed on U.S. government bond
prices, nudging yields up. The yield on
the 10-year Treasury note climbed to
2.53 percent from 2.50 percent late
Thursday.
In commodity trading, precious and
industrial metals made slight moves.
The price of gold fell $6.50 to settle at
$1,215.40 an ounce. Silver slipped 10
cents to $17.54 an ounce. Copper was
unchanged at $3.03 a pound.

Big movers

SAN FRANCISCO Yahoo CEO Marissa
Mayer is getting some unsolicited advice
on how to turn around the long-struggling
Internet company, just like some of her
predecessors who tangled with investors
dissatisfied with managements perform-
ance.
In a letter Friday, activist investor Jeffrey
Smith urged Yahoo Inc. to buy another fall-
en Internet star, AOL Inc. and take steps to
reduce the future taxes on the companys
lucrative stake in Chinas Alibaba Group.
He also chastised Mayer for spending $1.3
billion to acquire an Internet blogging
service and more than two dozen other start-
ups during the past two years with little to
show in return so far.
To bolster his arguments, Smith says he
has built a signicant stake in Yahoo
through Starboard Value LP. The size of the
stake wasnt quantied in the letter and has-
nt yet been divulged in regulatory lings.
The idea of Yahoo and AOL getting
together isnt a new one. Various analysts
and other Internet observers have argued a
marriage between the two companies would
allow them to cut costs, attract more Web
surfers and, most importantly, strengthen
their online advertising arsenal to improve
their chances of competing against
Internet stalwarts Google Inc. and
Facebook Inc.
It makes a lot of sense, said BGC
Financial Partners Colin Gillis.
In a statement, Mayer said she looked for-
ward to discussing Smiths ideas. Going
forward, we have great condence in the
strength of our business, Mayer said.
AOL didnt respond to requests for com-
ment Friday.
The prospect of a change in Yahoos
recent direction seemed to excite investors.
Yahoos stock rose $1.71, or 4.4 percent,
to close at $40.66. AOLs stock added
$1.58, or 3.7 percent, to nish at $44.55 as
investors reacted to a potential buyout bid.
Smith agitated for change at AOL in 2012
after he acquired a 5.3 percent stake in that
company and mounted an unsuccessful cam-
paign to win three board seats. He didnt
express any interest in trying to replace
anyone on Yahoos nine-member board,
which includes Mayer.
This is the third time in the past six years
that an activist investor has targeted Yahoo
for a shake-up. Billionaire Carl Icahn seized
three spots on Yahoos board in 2008 after
attacking the company for spurning a
$47.5 billion takeover offer from
Microsoft Corp. Hedge-fund manager
Daniel Loeb also wound up with three board
seats in 2012 after orchestrating the ouster
of one of Yahoos previous CEOs, Scott
Thompson.
Since becoming Yahoos CEO in July
2012, Mayer has been buying startups and
trendy services such as Tumblr in an effort
to appeal to a younger demographic and
expand Yahoos audience on smartphones
and tablets as more people rely on those
mobile devices to connect with digital serv-
ices.
Given that AOL is still closely associated
to the days when people relied on dial-up
modems to surf the Web, Mayer might view
a buyout to be too backward-looking for
Yahoo, Gillis said.
Activist investor pushes Yahoo to buy rival AOL
By Steve Rothwell and Bernard Condon
NEW YORK The biggest star in the
bond market shocked the nancial world
Friday by leaving the huge money manage-
ment rm he has led for four decades and
joining a much smaller rival.
Bill Gross, who co-founded the invest-
ment giant Pimco in 1971 and runs its $222
billion Total Return Fund, said he would
join Janus Capital Group. The prospect that
investors would follow the guru-like fund
manager and pull their money out of Pimco
sent the stocks of several rival investment
companies soaring.
Janus j umped 43 percent . Al l i anz,
t he Ger man company t hat owns
Pi mco, dropped 6 percent .
Many people invested in Pimcos Total
Return know Bill Gross, and they want his
expertise, said Todd Rosenbluth, director
of fund research at S&P Capital IQ. Money
will leave Pimco. Its just a question of how
much.
Pimco moved quickly to appoint a succes-
sor. Daniel Ivascyn, who has been with
Pimco since 1998, was named late Friday as
group chief investment ofcer.
Gross has trounced rivals for years with
deft moves in and out of bonds, earning the
title Bond King and attracting hundreds of
billions of dollars into Pacic Investment
Management Co. But lately his performance
has lagged that of many rivals and his man-
agement style has raised eyebrows.
Gross will develop bond investment
strategies at Janus and run a recently
launched fund called the Unconstrained
Bond Fund from a new ofce in Newport
Beach, California. He starts at Janus, which
is based in Denver, on Monday.
Gross writes monthly commentaries on
markets that are widely quoted, and his utter-
ances on business TV shows can move mar-
kets.
But for all his star power, Pimcos ag-
ship Total Return hasnt fared well recently.
The fund lost 2.2 percent last year, accord-
ing to Pimco, its rst loss in more than a
decade. Its done better this year, returning
4.1 percent through August. Still, that is
one point less than the average for similar
bond funds.

A major Japanese shipping company
agreed Friday to pay the United States a
$67.7 million criminal ne for conspiring
to x prices for international ocean ship-
ments of cars, trucks and other wheeled
vehicles at the Port of Baltimore and other
locations, the Justice Department said.
Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha Ltd., also known
as K Line conspired with other, unidenti-
ed shipping rms not to compete for cer-
tain customers on certain routes, and to
refrain from undercutting each others
prices, the department said in a statement.
Our efforts exposed a long-running glob-
al conspiracy that operated globally, affect-
ing the shipping costs of staggering num-
bers of cars, into and out of the Port of
Baltimore and other ports in the United
States and across the globe, said Bill Baer,
an assistant U.S. attorney in the depart-
ments antitrust division.
Acall to K Lines North American head-
quarters in Richmond, Virginia, was not
returned.
The Justice Department said the conspira-
cy ran from at least February 1997 to at least
September 2012.
Japanese firm fined $67.7M in shipping conspiracy
SEC alleges $129M
pyramid scheme in China, U.S.
WASHINGTON U.S. regulators have
charged two companies and three individuals
with operating a pyramid scheme that made
some $129 million from preying on
investors in China, Taiwan and the U.S.
The Securities and Exchange Commission
announced the civil fraud charges Friday
against eAdGear Holdings Limited, based in
Hong Kong; California-based eAdGear Inc.;
and Charles Wang, Qian Cathy Zhang and
Francis Yuen. Afederal court in San Francisco
authorized the SECs request to freeze the
defendants assets and bar them from solicit-
ing investors. An attorney representing
Wang, Zhang and Yuen didnt immediately
respond to a request for comment.
The SEC said eAdGear claimed to be a suc-
cessful online marketing company, but near-
ly all its revenue came from investors, not
products or services. Starting in December
2010, the company sold memberships and
business packages, opening accounts with
tens of thousands of mostly Chinese
investors.
The scheme targeted investors in China
and Taiwan and in Chinese communities in
the U.S., according to the SEC. The regula-
tors alleged that the three individuals ran a
pyramid scheme, using money from new
investors to pay earlier investors and to
buy million-dollar homes for themselves.

Every football coachs dream is to see a
perfect game from his team.
While that is impossible, the San Mateo
football team managed to be pretty darn
close for a half as the Bearcats took on
Carlmont Friday night in Belmont.
San Mateo scored on four of its ve rst-
half possessions as the Bearcats built a 27-
0 lead on their way to a 34-8 victory.
Our offensive line did a great job of get-
ting off the ball, said San Mateo coach Jeff
Scheller, who is off to the rst 4-0 start in
his nine seasons with the Bearcats. They
got off the ball fast and got into the defen-
sive linemen.
The Bearcats backeld did the rest. Senior
running back Watson Filikitonga rushed for
147 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries in
three quarters of work, while quarterback
Line Latu rushed for 65 yards and a score
while throwing for two more touchdowns
both to Watson. All told, San Mateo racked
up 334 yards of offense.
Defensively, the Bearcats were just as
solid. They held the Scots to just 22 yards of
offense in the rst half and 102 total yards
for the game.
San Mateo did a heckuva job, said
Carlmont coach Rich Gianuario. They out-
manned us tonight.
In the second half, San Mateo looked like
a team with a 27-0 lead, a team that just
wanted the clock to reach triple zeroes so it
could go home. After amassing 277 yards of
offense in the rst half, the Bearcats man-
aged just 57 yards over the nal two quarters
with the backups playing the fourth quar-
ter.
They also turned the ball over three times
in the nal 12 minutes. There was also a
brief power outage that lasted about 15 min-
utes with about six minutes left in the game.
The rst half was great, Scheller said.
The second half was weird. Our depth was a
little bit sketchy.
Credit Carlmont for not throwing in the
towel in the second half as the Scots half-
time adjustments on defense paid off.
(My) guys didnt give up, Gianuario
Bearcats stay unbeaten

Aragon calls it the Scotts Valley Special.
And when Scotts Valley ran the play Friday
night under the lights at Aragon, the Dons did
not miss.
Dons safety Devin Grant read the Scotts
Valley Special a fake downeld pass to a
crossing tight end before dumping a throw to
a short secondary route and the junior
turned it into his rst interception of the sea-
son and a 65-yard touchdown to get Aragon on
the scoreboard midway through the rst quar-
ter.
Grants pickoff sparked a dominant 41-0
win for the Dons (4-0) over the Falcons (0-4),
and Aragons second shutout of the season.
That was nice, Aragon defensive end Scott
Becker said. That was a pick-six right off the
bat. That got us pumped up.
Aragons offense capitalized on outstanding
eld position throughout the night to gener-
ate the remainder of the points. The Dons out-
gained Scotts Valley 278-101 in total offen-
sive yards, yet Aragon needed just nine rst
downs throughout the game to generate the
rout.
After going ahead 14-0 on a 44-yard touch-
down run by Tyee Stokman near the end of the
rst quarter, the Dons started their next ve
possessions from their own 43-yard line or
better.
Aragon quarterback Billy Mason completed
7 of 11 passes for 117 yards and two touch-
down passes, all coming in the rst half.
The DBs are pressing up and my receivers
are fast enough to get off them, Mason said.
So, it gives me a good opportunity to throw
them the ball, which is what happened today.
A week after throwing 12 of 16 for 250
yards in a 28-7 win over Lincoln, Mason
showed a variety of passing looks to set the
tempo for the Dons offense.
Hes got a lot of moxie, hes got a lot of
poise, and hes a great athlete, Aragon head
coach Steve Sell said. The variety of passes,
he can throw them all.

SANTA CLARA Chip Kelly and Jim
Harbaugh have been erce competitors in
college when Oregon and Stanford battled for
West Coast supremacy.
They have been long-distance admirers of
the way each can create mismatches through
formations and play design. They have even
been collaborators who have traded ideas on
football philosophy.
The relationship that began when both
arrived in the Pac-10 seven years ago reaches
a new chapter Sunday when they meet for the
rst time as NFL head coaches when Kelly
and the Philadelphia Eagles (3-0) take on
Harbaughs 49ers (1-2).
While their teams look different on the sur-
face with Kelly using a fast-paced, spread
attack that utilizes the entire width of the
field compared to Harbaughs preferred
power, running system, the fundamentals are
quite similar.
From an offensive standpoint, both teams
start with the run game, said Eagles tight
end Zack Ertz, who played
for Harbaugh at Stanford.
They use that to set up
everything else.
Kelly is known as an
innovator, who bucks tra-
dition when it comes to
practices, nutrition and
most of all offensive phi-
losophy.
After battling with
Kellys Oregon teams in
college, Harbaugh sent
offensive coordinator
Greg Roman to Eugene,
Oregon, to learn more
about Kellys offense.
Its evolved,
Harbaugh said. Theyve
done some great things
offensively. I see their
fingerprints on the
defense as well. You see a progression and
consistently good football and great adjust-
ments and sound schematics.

rivalry moves to NFL
By Chris Lehourites
BAGSHOT, England With everyone
trying to pretend this is just a normal week
of practice, perhaps the best plan of action
for the Oakland Raiders is to embrace the
abnormality of being in London, and hope
something positive happens.
The Raiders opened the season with three
straight losses, including a 16-9 setback
against the New England Patriots last week-
end. Their next chance for a win will come
against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday at
Wembley Stadium in the NFL's rst of three
regular-season games in the British capital.
The Raiders were rst to arrive in England,
touching down at Gatwick Airport on
Monday.
Its crazy, said Raiders quarterback
Derek Carr, a rookie who has started all
three games of his professional career. I
texted my wife this morning and she was
still on Tuesday. I was texting her good-
night and she said good morning. It was
weird.
As the days have gone, its gotten pro-
gressively better. The
faster I can get into the
right time zone, which is
here, the better it will
feel.
The Dolphins (1-2)
chose to delay their
arrival until Friday, giv-
ing the Raiders more time
to get acclimated to the
time difference and get
their sleep patterns in order.
But they need to improve on the eld, a
direction they seem to be going after
Sundays close loss to the Patriots.
I think we played better, Raiders coach
Dennis Allen said Wednesday at the teams
training base south of London. Ultimately,
there are still a few plays in the game that
we need to be able to come up with and need
to be able to make that puts us over the
hump and gives us an opportunity to win
games. It certainly gives us something to
build off of.
The Raiders opened with a 19-14 loss at
the New York Jets and then lost at home to

Reddick drove in three runs, Scott

seven starts and the Oakland
Athletics moved oh so close to

After snapping a three-game
skid with a 6-2 victory Friday
night at Texas, the As needed only
one more win or a loss by the
Seattle Mariners to clinch an
American League wild card. Kansas
City clinched earlier in the
evening.
When the As finished their
game, they gathered in the visi-
tors clubhouse to watch Seattle
play at home against the AL West
champion Los Angeles Angels.
But Seattle won 4-3, pushing
Oakland to its 161st of 162 games
still without a spot in the play-
offs.
Were just going to go out there
and play these last couple of
games and hopefully make it in
there, Kazmir said.
Reddick led off the fourth with
his 12th homer, and an inning
later added a two-run single to
make it 6-1.
Adam Dunn, the big designated
hitter batting in the No. 2 spot for
the rst time since June 2008, had
a two-run double in the third for
Oakland (87-73). Dunn, in his
14th major league season, was
acquired by the As on Aug. 31 and
is looking to get to the playoffs
for the rst time.
The As were a season-best 28
games over .500 and had a four-
game lead in the AL West on Aug.
10. But they lost 29 of their next
43 games before Friday night.

SEATTLE Under different circumstances,
Washington coach Chris Petersen would have
already coached his rst Pac-12 Conference
game.
Following the 2010 season when Jim
Harbaugh made the jump to the NFL, Stanford
was in need of a head coach. And with Boise
State at the height of its success under
Petersen, it was a no-brainer for the Cardinal
to reach out.
I had a quick conversation with those guys
and that was really it, Petersen said this
week.
Stanford was not alone among big pro-
grams reaching out to speak with Petersen
during his years of win-
ning at Boise State. But it
makes for an interesting
subplot to Saturdays Pac-
12 opener for the Huskies
(4-0), who are hosting
16th-ranked Stanford (2-
1, 0-1) in Petersens rst
conference game.
Entertaining the idea of
going to Stanford may
have been the closest Petersen ever came to
leaving Boise State before accepting the
Washington job last December. He saw simi-
lar qualities in Washington that he did in his
brief conversations with Stanford.
Thats one of the reasons Im here at
Washington. This university is about a lot of
the same things an elite
education, being able to
attract really good kids
here and play really good
football, Petersen said.
What Petersen is still
trying to gure out is the
personality of his team,
which may have a perfect
record but was far from
impressive getting there. Last week against
Georgia State seemed to typify the Huskies
rst month with Petersen in charge.
Washington slept through the rst half and
trailed 14-0 at the break before scoring 45
unanswered points. The nal score matched
the expected blowout but how the Huskies got
there was not what Petersen wanted.
Stanford has similar uncertainties and is
already playing from behind in the Pac-12
North race after an early loss to USC. The
Cardinal looked impressive in blowouts of
UC Davis and Army but struggled against
USC. The power running game of previous
seasons has yet to materialize with the
Cardinal using a rotation or running backs.
Having four new starters on the offensive line
has contributed to Stanfords inconsistency.
Stanford coach David Shaw sees the simi-
larities between the Cardinal and Huskies.
Moments of absolute dominance on both
sides of the ball, and moments where its not
quite all together. It honestly right now sounds
like a lot of really good teams around the
nation, Shaw said. I dont think theres a
truly dominant team in college football right
now. I think theres a lot of good football teams
that have moments of not playing great.

GLENEAGLES, Scotland For the rst
time in eight years, Europe is ahead after the
rst full day of play at the Ryder Cup.
Europe grabbed a 5-3 lead after Fridays two
sessions at Gleneagles even though big
guns Rory McIlroy, Sergio Garcia and Ian
Poulter contributed only half a point.
But it was an improbable half point that
felt like a win, gave the home side a momen-
tum boost and could prove decisive in the
nal outcome as Europe bids for its eighth
victory in 10 Ryder Cups.
Weve seen in the Ryder Cups over the
years how important momentum switches are
and how it can really have a domino effect,
European captain Paul McGinley said. So
when the surge came from America at the end
of the session this morning, for our guys to
react as well as they did in all four matches,
shows real strength of character.
The last time the
Europeans led after the
opening day was at the K
Club in Ireland in 2006.
They went on to win 18
1/2-9 1/2. The Americans
led after the rst full day
in each of the last three
Ryder Cups.
Trailing the United
States 2 1/2-1 1/2 after
the morning fourballs, the Europeans won
three of the alternate-shot matches in the
afternoon. More dramatic was the late rally
by McIlroy and Garcia, who came from two
shots down with two to play to halve with
Rickie Fowler and Jimmy Walker.
McIlroy made a 30-foot birdie putt at the 17th
and Garcia hit a beautiful approach from the
rough on the 18th to set up another birdie.That
was probably as good as a win, to come back
from where they were, McGinley said.
The No. 1-ranked McIlroy and No. 3 Garcia
had lost their fourballs
match in the morning,
beaten 1-up by Phil
Mickelson and Keegan
Bradley. Until the late
comeback, it looked like
McIlroy would become the
rst No. 1 player to lose
two Ryder Cup matches on
the same day since Tiger
Woods in 2002.
Sergio and I battled for all 36 holes out
there today, McIlroy said. It was a long day
for both of us, and just glad that we were able
to contribute something to the cause today.
He called the half-point a mini-victory.
It denitely is a huge halve in terms of
momentum for the European team going into
tomorrow, McIlroy said. It was huge. For
Sergio and I, its just nice to be able to walk
away from today with at least something.
The 3 1/2 points won in the afternoon set
a European team record in Ryder Cup four-
somes beating the 3-point total achieved
in ve previous contests.
In the morning session, the Americans
seemed to strike a big psychological blow
by taking down McIlroy and Poulter.
In a stunning performance, 21-year-old
Jordan Spieth and 24-year-old Patrick Reed
rookies who formed the youngest pairing
in Ryder Cup history beat Poulter and
Scottish rookie Stephen Gallacher 5 and 4.
The afternoon began with Lee Westwood and
Jamie Donaldson pulling Europe level by beat-
ing Jim Furyk and Matt Kuchar 2 up.
Westwood, playing in his ninth Ryder Cup,
enjoyed his role as mentor to the Welsh rookie.
Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson won their
second match of the day, beating Hunter
Mahan and Zach Johnson 2 and 1.
Graeme McDowell and French rookie Victor
Dubuisson secured the nal point, defeating
Mickelson and Bradley 3 and 2. Its the rst
time Mickelson and Keegan have lost togeth-
er in the Ryder Cup after four straight wins.

rst possession, but Grant had other ideas.
The Falcons started the drive at the Dons49-
yard line. But seven plays later, Scotts Valley
was facing fourth-and-4 at the Dons 32 when
quarterback Jake Lobo tried to force a short
pass into tight coverage, but Grant stepped in
front of wide receiver Dalton Locke to inter-
cept the pass. Grant took off like a bullet to
return the pickoff for Aragons rst score, stak-
ing the Dons to a 7-0 lead.
It was a play the Dons identied while watch-
ing game tapes of Scotts Valley, according to
Grant, hence the name: the Scotts Valley
Special. And after totaling ve interceptions
last season as a sophomore to earn All-
Peninsula Athletic League Ocean Division
honors, the junior used the scouting report to
record his rst of the current season and a
momentous one at that.
The quarterback tried to look me off the
other way but I just stayed with him the whole
time, Grant said. And he just threw it right
into my hands and I just took off to the house.
Following Stokmans 44-yard run to put the
Dons up 14-0, the Dons scored three more
times in the half. Mason red a 6-yard touch-
down strike to Kono Filimoehala-Egan to
extend the lead to 21-0 midway through the
second quarter. After another quick three-and-
out by the Falcons, the Dons scored on an
eight-play, 50-yard drive culminating in an
eight-yard touchdown run by V.A. Wilson,
who paced all rushers with 78 yards on 12 car-
ries.
With seven seconds remaining in the half,
Mason against connected with Filimoehala-
Egan, this time for a 14-yard score to stake the
Dons to a 34-0 halftime lead. Aragon added one
more score in the second half, a 6-yard run by
Rodolfo Hernandez near the end of the third
quarter.
Aragons defense did the rest, holding Scotts
Valley to just six rst downs in the game.
Meanwhile, the Dons tabbed a season-high
ve team sacks, including two by junior line-
backer Charles Cao, two by sophomore line-
backer Hati Unga and one by Becker.
With Aragons star middle linebacker Julian
Tongamoa out of action due to a dislocated
elbow sustained in Week 2, the Dons have
recongured their defense with senior Curran
Brandt emerging at the middle linebacker posi-
tion. Brandts ability to anchor the position
has allowed other players to step up and make
contributions, according to Sell, especially
the rst-year varsity sophomore, Unga.
Were not huge but were very fast, Sell
said. Speed is so critical and theyre hard to
block, so I think the scheme to bring [Unga]
in was important, because [sacks are] kind of
what he specializes in.
Meanwhile, Tongamoa is serving the team
by manning a headset in the skybox. Sell said
he hopes the senior will return by mid-
October.
Hes a very smart football player and very
in tune with the game, Sell said.

SAN FRANCISCO Ian Kennedy pitched
seven innings for his third consecutive win,
Seth Smith hit a tiebreaking double in the
sixth inning and the San Diego Padres beat
the San Francisco Giants 4-1 on Friday night.
One day after clinching a playoff berth,
San Francisco couldnt muster much at the
plate and dropped two games off the pace in
the race to host the NL wild-card game on
Wednesday.
Rene Rivera singled in a pair of runs and
had two hits, and Yasmani Grandal also
drove in a run to help the Padres clinch the
season series against their division rivals
for the rst time since 2010.
Kennedy (13-13) gave up one unearned run
and four hits while going over 200 innings
pitched for the third time in his career. Hes
the rst San Diego right-
hander to do that since cur-
rent Giants pitcher Jake
Peavy in 2007.
The Giants managed
just ve hits and repeated-
ly came up empty with
runners in scoring posi-
tion. They got four run-
ners to second base with
one out and failed to score
each time.
Manager Bruce Bochys club is assured of
playing next weeks wild-card game on the
road. San Francisco is two games behind
Pittsburgh with two to go. The Pirates hold
the tiebreaker, giving them homefield
advantage.
San Diego, which rallied from a 6-0 decit
to lead the Giants late before losing 9-8 on
Friday, led from the beginning this time.
The Padres jumped on San Francisco
starter Ryan Vogelsong (8-13) for a run in
the rst then broke the game open with a
three-run sixth.
Kennedy retired the nal ve batters he
faced. Kevin Quackenbush worked the
eighth and Joaquin Benoit pitched the ninth
for his 11th save.
Notes: All-Star catcher Buster Posey was
held out of the lineup as a precaution after
undergoing an MRI on his back. Posey has
been bothered by some nagging soreness.
Since Aug. 21, Posey leads the majors with
a .413 average.
Up next: Left-hander Eric Stults (8-17) is
seeking his third win in four starts. Aninth vic-
tory would be the second-most of Stultscareer.
Resurgent right-hander Peavy (6-4) will
make his rst career start against the Padres.
Peavy broke into the majors with San Diego
in 2002 and spent nearly eight seasons there.
Kennedy sharp in final start, Padres top Giants

PHOENIX The Arizona
Diamondbacks have made 16-year
major league pitcher Dave Stewart
the franchises senior vice presi-
dent and general manager.
In a restructur-
ing of the front
office under
Chief Baseball
Ofcer Tony La
Russa, the team
also named De
Jon Watson sen-
ior vice presi-
dent / bas ebal l
operations.
Stewart called it the perfect
challenge for me. It is a formida-
ble task: rebuilding a team with
the worst record in baseball.
Ive known Stew for nearly
three decades, La Russa said in the
teams statement announcing the
move Thursday, and his diverse
background includes champi-
onships on the eld both as a play-
er and coach, in the front ofce and
in contract negotiations as a play-
er representative.
La Russa said Watson has great
strength in player development
and scouting on the amateur, pro-
fessional and international levels
and has played a signicant role in
the careers of some of the games
best players.
Watson comes to Arizona after
eight years with the Los Angeles

Kelly returned the favor and visited the 49ers
in 2012 during an off week for the Ducks in
hopes of gleaning some insights unto
Harbaughs approach.
One thing about Jim, hes won everywhere
hes been, Kelly said. He won when he was a
player. He won when he was at the University of
San Diego. He won when he was at Stanford.
Hes obviously been very, very successful with
the 49ers. Hes a competitor. Hes a grinder.
Hes got a passion for this game, and his teams
kind of reect his personality.
Here are some other things to watch when the
49ers host the Eagles:
Tale of two halves
San Francisco and Philadelphia have been
mirror opposites so far this season. The Niners
have started fast and then wilted in the second
half, outscoring opponents 59-16 in the rst
half only to have it reversed in the second when
they have been beaten 52-3. The Eagles, on the
other hand, have become the rst team to start
3-0 after trailing by at least 10 points in each
game. Theyve done it by outscoring the oppo-
nents 74-24 after halftime.
Limping line
Ayear after having remarkable stability on
the offensive line with ve players starting all
17 games, the Eagles line is in shambles early
this season. The latest casualty is center Jason
Kelce, who had sports hernia surgery this week.
With All-Pro left guard Evan Mathis and backup
right tackle Allen Barbre already hurt and start-
ing right tackle Lane Johnson serving the nal
game of his four-game suspension, left tackle
Jason Peters is the only player in his usual spot.
Left guard Matt Tobin and center David Molk are
set to make their rst career starts and Dennis
Kelly is moving from left guard to right guard,
with Todd Herremans moving from right guard
to tackle.
Flag Day
The 49ers have been done in by their own
mistakes early this season, most notably with a
league-worst 36 penalties through three games.
Abarrage of personal fouls did in San Francisco
last week when late hits by Dan Skuta and
Patrick Willis keyed Arizonas go-ahead drive
and calls against Anquan Boldin and Jonathan
Martin ended a potential scoring drive that
could have given the Niners the lead back.
Well address it, Harbaugh said. Well work
to x things. Theres things that need to be
xed and have great condence well get them
xed.
Fantastic Foles
Philadelphia quarterback Nick Foles is prov-
ing last years breakthrough season was no
uke. Foles, who led the NFLin passer rating a
year ago, is tops in yards passing this year with
978 through three games. Foles is looking to
join Peyton Manning, Steve Young, Kurt
Warner and Drew Brees as the only QBs to open
the season with four straight 300-yard passing
games.
Wheres Gore?
Frank Gore has been the staple of Harbaughs
offense so it has been a bit of a surprise how
infrequently he has been used this season. Gore
has just 35 carries, including only six last week
against Arizona, as the Niners have turned more
of the offense over to quarterback Colin
Kaepernick.
the Houston Texans, 30-14. And despite
scoring only nine points against the
Patriots, Carr played pretty well, going 21
of 34 for 174 yards.
Unfortunately for the rookie quarterback,
his final pass was deflected by intended
receiver Denarius Moore and intercepted by
325-pound defensive lineman Vince
Wilfork, allowing New England to run out
the clock.
Vince Wilfork is one of the luckiest
defensive tackles I have ever seen. He
makes plays like that all the time, Raiders
defensive lineman Antonio Smith said with
a laugh, and then spun things to look on the
bright side.
The good thing to take out of it is that
when we play a game like were supposed to
play it and with condence and having fun
and enjoying with passion, then we can
compete against any team, Smith said.
Im looking forward to passing that on
this week into a win. Not just a, We did
good but we lost. We want a win this week.
Both teams will have a bye week after
Sundays game.
Several players and the coach were asked
about the recent domestic abuse issues in
the NFL, mainly revolving around commis-
sioner Roger Goodells handling of the Ray
Rice incident.
I dont think its just an NFL issue. I
think its a societal issue, Allen said.
Thats something that as a society we need
to address. The National Football League
can be at the forefront of that. I think the
National Football League really can shape a
lot of the values in our society and I think
thats what the commissioner is trying to
do, and I think thats what the National
Football League is trying to do.
RAIDERS
said. We kept them in third-down situa-
tions all night, we just werent making that
last tackle.
Carlmont avoided the shutout when it
recovered a San Mateo fumble at the
Bearcats own 9-yard line and Dominic
Blanks needed two carries to nd the end
zone on the second play of the fourth quar-
ter. A two-point conversion a Boston
Funk pass to Theo Chapman meant the
Scots outscored the Bearcats 8-7 in the sec-
ond half.
But it was too little, too late for the Scots.
San Mateo set the tone on the rst drive of
the game. The Bearcats took the opening
kickoff and starting from their own 23,
methodically marched down the field as
Filikitonga and Josh Fakava took turns
gouging the Carlmont defense.
13 plays and more than six minutes later,
Filikitonga bulled his way into the end zone
from a yard out to give San Mateo a 6-0 lead
at the extra-point try was blocked.
After Carlmont was forced to punt on its
rst possession, the Bearcats went right
back on the offensive, driving 75 yards on
nine plays. On rst down from the Scots
27, Latu took a snap, but bobbled it. He
managed to latch on to it and as the
Carlmont pass rush collapsed on him, he
chucked a pass into the left at that found
Filikitonga.
Filikitonga worked his way back across
the eld, picked up some blockers, turned
the corner and then dragged a pair of defend-
ers the nal few yards into the end zone to
give the Bearcats a 13-0 advantage.
[Filikitonga] runs hard and he doesnt go
down on rst contact, Scheller said.
Carlmont went three and out on its next
possession, but the Scots defense stood tall
on San Mateo next drive, forcing the
Bearcats to turn the ball over on downs. The
San Mateo defense came right back and
forced Carlmonts third punt of the half, to
give the ball back to the Bearcats at their
own 21.
This time, they used the big play to nd
pay dirt. Filikitonga picked up 18 yards on
the rst play of the drive and three plays
later they faced a second-and-5 at the Scots
41. Latu took the snap, pivoted right and
ran down the line on an option read, saw
what he needed, turned upeld and outran the
Carlmont defense for a 41-yard score. Atwo-
point conversion a Latu pass to Devin
Dotson put San Mateo up 27-0 with under
a minute to play in the rst half.
And the Bearcats still werent done. Ryan
Yang intercepted a pass to give the ball
back to San Mateo at the Carlmont 27 with
25 seconds to play. Following an incom-
pletion and a 19-yard pass to Filikitonga,
San Mateo faced a rst-and-goal at the 8-
yard line with eight seconds left in the half.
Latu took the snap and the Carlmont defense
was on top of him right away. Latu used
some fancy footwork to escape trouble
before heaving a pass into the end zone
that found Filikitonga for his third touch-
down of the half.
[Latu] has the ability to do some things
(at quarterback) you just cant coach,
Scheller said.
San Mateo rounded out its scoring on its
second drive of the second half, when
Fakava went in from four yards out to put the
Bearcats up 34-0.
[Weve] done a great job of working as a
team and really believing in each other,
Scheller said.
BEARCATS
Coyotes beat Sharks in shootout
SAN JOSE Justin Hodgman and Lucas
Lessio scored in a shootout to give the
Arizona Coyotes a 2-1 exhibition victory
over the San Jose Sharks on Friday night.
Justin Hodgman also had a power-play
goal early in the rst period for Arizona (3-
0-2).
Joe Pavelski tied it for San Jose (1-1-1) on
a power play midway through the second
period and opened the shootout with the
Sharks only goal in the tiebreaker.
Antti Niemi, in a ght with Alex Stalock
for San Joses starting spot in goal, allowed
Hodgmans goal on the rst shot he faced,
then stopped 17 straight through overtime.
It was Niemis rst appearance since losing
the seventh game of the Western Conference
rst-round series against Los Angeles.
Arizonas Devan Dubnyk stopped 21 of 22
shots in the two periods. Louis Domingue
took over in the third period and stopped all
23 shots he faced, including helping to kill
a penalty in overtime.

ell if I get three wrong on
the math, and maybe two
on the reading, and none
of the writing, I could probably pull a
pretty solid score. Oh no, how do I figure
out this angle? Oh god theres only five
minutes left and I have 10 questions to
go. OK, C looks like a good answer to all
of them.
These are the thoughts
that go through my
brain when Im taking a
standardized test. The
whole time, Im calcu-
lating the odds of get-
ting that score that will
look good enough to
the most competitive
schools in the country. But what is good
enough? Is is subjective? Objective? How
do you achieve it?
The concept of standardized tests like
the SAT or ACT is a good one in theory.
Give every student the same questions in
the same amount of time and obviously
the ones who get more correct will be
smarter. Of course, this isnt even a little
bit correct. Some people are just great test
takers; they understand the process and
have the stamina to sit through a four-
hour test and really knock it out of the
park. This could also mean that theyre
very intelligent people, but they dont
necessarily have to be.
And there are others who are bursting
with life and knowledge, but you wouldnt
think that based on that four digit number
they get back two weeks after taking the
SAT. They sigh, sign up for the next test
date and crack open yet another prep book
hoping to boost their score. Some have
the help of tutors or older siblings, but
some just have to figure it out on their
own.
I really think theres a process to
achieving the ideal score. Practice being
one of them. If you take a bunch of prac-
tice tests, I guarantee your score will go
up, at least marginally. Ive taken count-

LOS ANGELES Who can say no to a
good Patricia Highsmith adaptation?
Though her 1964 suspense thriller The
Two Faces of January is not the easiest
story to bring to the screen. Still, the pro-
duction, shot in Greece and Turkey, is truly
lush and the actors Viggo Mortensen,
Oscar Isaac and Kirsten Dunst almost too
subtle and nuanced for the roles they play.
The result is easy viewing.
Built around a trio of greedy, lying, vapid
losers, the lm opens in Athens at one of
the worlds most clichd tourist sights, the
Parthenon. But its 1962 and things looked
newer then. Rydal (Isaac), a good-looking
young American expat living in Greece, is
playing tour guide to a group of breathless
college girls while portentously talking
about the cruel tricks gods play on men,
when a swanky American couple frolicking
around the ruins catch his eye.
Chester McFarland (Mortensen) is not
easy to warm up at rst glance. Much older
than his pretty wife Colette (Dunst), theres
a shrewdness about him that allows him to
size Rydal up on the spot, watching as the
boy brazenly short-changes one of the girls
on his tour. Rydal tells the couple hes a
Yale grad whos in Europe while he tries to
figure out what he wants to do in life.
Chester says hes an investment broker and
hires the boy to take them around. Neither
one seems particularly trustworthy and the

If you were lucky enough to
catch Denzel Washington in A
Raisin in the Sun on Broadway,
you saw the hugely charismatic
actor portray, in an iconic role,
the full complexity of a human
being: strengths and weakness-
es, attributes and aws, durabili-
ty and vulnerability. All topped
off, of course, with that boyish
Washington charm.
Alas, Washington doesnt
always choose big-screen roles
similarly worthy of his unique
talent. This is especially true of
The Equalizer, a mediocre
thriller that tries to establish the
59-year-old actor as a middle-
aged action hero, a la Liam
Neeson. Here, we get to see
Washington kill a lot of people.
Yawn. OK, he does it in some-
what inventive ways. Still:

a[ oroa(c ,ovIol
Yawn.
The Equalizer isnt a terrible movie, as
action sagas go. It just doesnt nearly live
up to what it aspires to be, which is a smart,
classy update of the 1980s TV series of the
same name, about an ex-government agent
who spends his retirement as a sort of ultra-
violent avenging angel, rubbing out vil-
lains who treat good people badly.
Changes have been made liberally. On
TV, Robert McCall (Edward Woodward) was
a debonair middle-aged guy in a trench coat,
collar upturned, cruising the streets of New
York in a black Jaguar. Here, no trench
coat, no Jaguar, no New York. Director
Antoine Fuqua and writer Richard Wenk
have moved the action to Boston, and
Washingtons McCall is a blue-collar type.
Awidower with few possessions, he spends
his days working at the Home Mart, and his
nights reading literary classics and drink-
ing tea at the diner.
Its at this diner that McCall befriends a
sweet young prostitute (Chloe Grace
Moretz). And when her pimps nasty
Russian mob types, straight from central
casting rough her up so badly she ends
up clinging to life in a hospital, McCalls
vigilante instincts emerge.
He confronts the thugs, trying to buy her
freedom. They laugh. Bad move. Using his
hyper-vision skills, he sizes up the room
and dispatches every thug within seconds
(hes counting), using handy props like a
corkscrew.
Now, if seeing a corkscrew lodged in a
bloody neck inspires you to applaud glee-
fully, well, youll probably like this
movie. If not, then, like me, you may feel
your initial affection for this character
wavering ever so slightly as the body toll
rises.
But its never easy to resist Washington.
First, he still gets to display his charm
every once in a while, though not enough.
And besides, McCalls opponents are so
cartoonishly one-dimensional, how can
you not root for him to crush them?
Turns out, the Russian pimps are only the
tip of the iceberg in an operation managed
by a Moscow crime lord named, yep,
Vladimir Pushkin. For most of the movie,
Pushkin isnt seen, only heard via tele-
phone, like Charlie of Charlies Angels.
He sends an emissary, Teddy (Marton
Csokas), to investigate who killed his
men. Teddys a psychopath who thinks
nothing of beating a man to death at his
desk to make a point, or quietly breaking a
girls neck for telling a falsehood.
Maybe because Csokas resembles Kevin
Spacey at his most endish and has some of
his manic energy a contrast to
Washingtons calm his character adds
spice to the proceedings. But not for long,
because The Equalizer grows tiresome and
formulaic.
An overly long final confrontation is
suspenseless, and thats because the lm-
makers havent bothered to give McCall
any vulnerability whatsoever. He may be
human, but by mid-lm, after seeing him
knock off thug after thug, were so con-
vinced he has super-powers that well never
worry about him again.
And thats boring. You could do worse
than watch Washington kick butt for two
hours (actually, a little more.) But it would
be a lot more interesting to watch him
struggle while doing it.
The Equalizer, a Columbia Pictures
release, is rated R by the Motion Picture
Association of America for strong bloody
violence and language throughout, includ-
ing some sexual references. Running time:
131 minutes. Two stars out of four.
MEDIOCRE
viewer makes a note.
Over dinner that evening, Rydal cant take
his eyes off the light-hearted Colette,
though his own date (Daisy Bevan) seems
equally worthy of attention, not to mention
rich and available. Since the underground
Colette-Rydal attraction is so crucial to the
plot, it would have behooved everyone to
work on a little chemistry.
In addition to jealousy, Chester has new
problems to deal with when a private eye
sent by the mob (played tough by a hard-
nosed David Warshofsky) tracks him down
to his luxurious hotel room, just as he and
Colette are tucking into bed. Awkwardly, the
men decide to talk in the bathroom, and by
the next scene Chester is dragging his
unconscious nemesis down the thickly car-
peted hall back to his own room. Rydal
appears at the wrong moment and is forced
to help him, not realizing the trouble hes
getting into.
The most puzzling piece of plotting is
why the McFarlands check out of the hotel
in the dead of night, leaving their passports
behind. The moment they leave the hotel
they are on the lam, in a foreign country,
without any way to get home. Sensing easy
money to be made, Rydal follows them like
a guardian angel and whisks them into hid-
ing on the scintillating island of Crete,
where a lot of story takes place. Sufce it to
say things go from bad to much worse.
The lms major plus is its exotic atmos-
phere. Its a time when you could still meet
men like Chester who had been on the
European front in World War II and returned
as tourists, and when smart Ivy League grads
could bum around the continent instead of
paying off student loans.
On his rst trip behind the camera, the
British-Iranian Amini shows his skill at
working with actors and sensing the way
they can ll out literary characters. His
screenplay generally feels more naturalistic
than Highsmith, the dialogue less spare. As
Chesters wife and Rydals potential seduc-
tress, Dunst has the least exciting role of
the lot, something of a bone over which the
men contend, glowering at each other.
Mortensens elegant-until-cornered Chester
is a layered character with quite a moral
range, from nefarious swindler to a man able
to make a grand redemptive gesture. He cuts
an ugly but human gure vis-a-vis Rydals
petty con man. But as Chester points out,
its only a matter of time before the younger
man turns into him.
The Two Faces of January, a Magnolia
release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion
Picture Association of America for some
violence, language and smoking. Running
time: 96 minutes.
FACES
less practice tests, poured through tons
of prep books (Barrons, Princeton
Review; you name it, I probably own it),
but I cant help but wonder: Why am I
spending so many laborious hours study-
ing for one test that will evaluate me for
four hours on one day in the entire span
of life? And why does one fourth of the
weight of college applications fall on
this test?
My scores, to me, are never good
enough. Its almost like a catch-22: You
have to focus and study a lot for this one
test to get a good score but if you focus
and study a lot you wont have as much
time for other areas of your application. I
dont think so much weight should be put
on a test that isnt adaptable to all kinds
of people; the process just adds unwanted
stress to the lives of already stressed
high school students. College Board:
Why you gotta play me like that?
However, for now, well just have to
deal with the system that is in place. Get
cracking folks, set the timer and Ill see
you at the Oct. 11 SAT date.

NBA 2K15adds the option for gamers to digitally graft lifelike 3-D renditions of their faces onto
virtual players in the series latest installment, set for Oct. 7.
By Derrik J. Lang
LOS ANGELES NBA2K15 is angling
for a slam dunk with an innovative new way
to put players in the game.
The developers of the interactive basket-
ball franchise are adding the option for
gamers to digitally graft lifelike 3-D rendi-
tions of their faces onto virtual players in
the series latest installment, set for Oct. 7.
The process uses the camera for either the
PlayStation 4 or Xbox One game consoles
to create faces for wannabe Kobe Bryants
and Kevin Durants.
Its all done using the processing power
of the next-gen systems, said Jeff Thomas,
vice president of sports development at
NBA 2K developer Visual Concepts.
Weve been talking about doing this for a
number of years, but it really wasnt possi-
ble until we knew the processing power of
the next-gen machines. It took some time to
get it right.
The technology utilizes the stereoscopic
cameras for Sonys PS4 and Microsofts
Xbox One consoles to amass several angles
of gamers faces. It then renders photoreal-
istic 3-D models on screen that can be
tweaked and placed onto the bodies of virtu-
al players in the games career and online
modes. The process requires a well-lit room
and takes about three minutes.
That doesnt sound like a lot of time,
said Thomas. But if you think of things in
milliseconds like you do when you make
games, with the computer processing power
inside that box, three minutes is like an
eternity. That just shows how much math
and things are required to compute these
points in 3-D space, then construct a model
that looks like you.
The face mapping marks the latest effort
by a game creator to add virtual representa-
tions of players in a game, following simi-
lar endeavors, like EASports crafting virtu-
al athletes based on still images of players
faces, and developer Rare harnessing
Microsofts Kinect camera to fashion car-
toony avatars for its motion-detecting title
Kinect Sports Rivals.
When demonstrated for the Associated
Press with a PS4 camera and console, the
process required two attempts to generate an
accurate hairless model, which was then fur-
ther detailed with skin textures, hair and eye
color. The available modications are based
on Visual Concepts own library of facial
features of actual NBA and Euroleague play-
ers.
That means there cant be any more alien
players, said Thomas. You used to be able
to pull and tug players faces and create crazy
noses and stuff. Because were referencing
real people, it only allows you to create
human-looking players. I think thats a big
deal. The combination of these techniques
will give you a really solid-looking image
of yourself.
For privacy-minded players who dont
want their console capturing a map of their
face or those without a PS4 or Kinect cam-
era, Thomas said theyll still be able to cre-
ate players from scratch using the games
customization system, as in past editions of
the series. He also noted that while the sys-
tem can scan female faces, the game like
the basketball league doesnt include
female bodies.
Thomas expects the proprietary technolo-
gy to evolve in the future and is hopeful it
will be implemented in other games from 2K
Games, which also publishes the NHL 2K
and WWE 2K series, as well as the
BioShock and Borderlands rst-person
shooter franchises.
This is just the tip of the iceberg, said
Thomas. I think in the future that every
triple-Atitle is going to want to have some
sort of tech like this. Its so much more
engaging to actually look at yourself when
youre playing a video game compared to
some random character.

For kids today, theres no escaping The
Walt Disney Co. Even if Mickey Mouse,
Toy Story and all the Disney princesses
leave you cold, the company also owns
Marvel Comics, the Star Wars franchise and
the Muppets. The jocks on your block are
probably hooked on Disneys ESPN.
The Innity project is Disneys attempt
to link all its characters in one shared video-
game world. (Well, maybe not ESPN; theres
no digitized Chris Berman, yet.) Last years
Disney Innity blended Pixar creations
like The Incredibles with live-action stars
like Capt. Jack Sparrow of Pirates of the
Caribbean.
This year, the company adds its lucrative
comic-book properties to the fray with
Disney Innity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes
(for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox
360, PlayStation 3, Wii U, $74.99). The
starter kit includes gures of Iron Man, Thor
and Black Widow, as well as a clear plastic
model of Avengers Tower.
To play, you plug the provided Innity
Base into your game console, then park a
hero and the tower on the base. That opens
up Marvels version of Manhattan, which
has been besieged by frost monsters con-
trolled by Thors rakish brother, Loki. Each
hero has different powers: Thor has his
mighty hammer, for example, while Iron
Man can blast villains with his chest-
mounted unibeam.
The missions get somewhat repetitive
go to this location and beat up monsters
but its fun to switch heroes and try different
approaches. And each hero has a complex
skill tree that lets you add and enhance
superpowers as you progress through the
campaign. The starter kit also includes two
power discs that present brief adventures
in Thors home, Asgard, and the Guardians
of the Galaxy universe.
If you are more into creating than destroy-
ing, the Innity Toy Box provides all the
virtual buildings, furniture and other objects
you need to stock your own pocket universe.
Its streamlined enough that kids can jump
right in and start building; those who are
more ambitious can design their own
minigames and post them online.
The starter kit provides enough activity to
keep kids busy for months, but there are
also separate Spider-Man and Guardians of
the Galaxy play sets ($39.99 each). You
can buy individual figures, including
Captain America, Hulk, Rocket Raccoon and
Groot for $15 apiece, and you can play with
all the original Innity characters from
last year in the 2.0 Toy Box. And you can
invest in more power discs (two for $5),
which give your heroes more costumes,
vehicles and weapons.

games, Infinity 2.0 falls somewhere

LOS ANGELES As its 75th anniversary
approaches, Gone With the Wind is again
being celebrated as a timeless movie clas-
sic. But now, even the lms distributor
acknowledges the Civil War epics portrayal
of slavery is dated and inaccurate.
Gone With the Wind will be screened
this weekend in 650 theaters nationwide,
broadcast Monday by Turner Classic Movies
and reissued Tuesday in a lavish home-video
box set, including a music box, an embroi-
dered handkerchief and more than 8 hours of
bonus features.
To produce something new for yet another
GWTW box set, Warner Bros. Home
Entertainment brought in lmmaker and his-
torian Gary Leva. Theres been a ton of
stuff about the making of the lm, Leva
recalls the studio telling him. Can you
give us a deeper look at how the movie por-
trays the Civil War?
Leva responded with the 30-minute docu-
mentary Old South/New South, which drew
a surprisingly frank conclusion for a studio-
commissioned commemorative project: One
of the worlds all-time great lms also has
great shortcomings.
In the documentary, which is included in
the box sets out Tuesday, historians discuss
how the lm has perpetuated mythology
dubbed The Lost Cause, which proposes
Southern involvement in the Civil War was
solely for noble reasons, including defense
of states rights.
But when you get right down to it, what
state right are you talking about? asks
University of North Carolina history pro-
fessor David Goldeld in the Leva lm.
Youre talking about the right of individu-
als to own slaves.
Based on Margaret Mitchells 1936 best-
seller, Gone With the Wind is ction,
about a spoiled Old South socialite, Scarlett
OHara. But the real-life war that serves as
her storys backdrop looms too large in the
lm for many to overlook.
(Slavery) is such a component of the
movie, and the characters who you are root-
ing for are oblivious, noted lm critic and
TCM host Ben Mankiewicz.
Actress Hattie McDaniel, who played
Scarletts devoted nanny Mammy, a slave,
became the rst African-American actor to
be nominated for and win an Academy Award.
Nevertheless, the lms portrayal of black
characters has been criticized ever since the
world premiere in Atlanta on Dec. 13, 1939.
In Gone With the Wind, slavery is por-
trayed in the most benevolent terms, Leva
said. Characters like Mammy are looked at
like family members. And theres no hint at
any sort of wrongdoing the slave masters
do nothing in the lm that seems inappro-
priate.
At least the movie got one thing right:
Tomorrow is, indeed, another day;
Hollywood is finally offering a grittier,
more honest view of slavery in lms such as
12 Years a Slave and Django Unchained.
Compare Gone With the Wind and
Django very different lms about the
same period of time, with a lot of the same
imagery, dealt with in very different ways,
observed actress Kerry Washington.
The Scandal star is one of the leads in
2012s Django, Quentin Tarantinos vio-
lent pre-Civil War saga, which includes such
scenes as an owner forcing his slaves into
gruesome death matches.
Washington said the final scene in
Django, a plantation in ames, is a direct
reference to Gone With the Wind. But she
added GWTW has a really important place
in the history of lmmaking, and in the his-
tory of African-Americans at the Oscars, in
the history of messaging and how we por-
tray history. And all of that is worth talking
about.
Leva, a Texan who said he considers him-
self a Southerner, acknowledged hes con-
icted over Gone With the Wind.
For me, as a lm, just looking at it cine-
matically, it is a masterpiece, said Leva.
But politically? ... If you were to do the
lm today, you wouldnt make the lm near-
ly as romantic. Youd make the lm much
grittier. And you could show, I think, in a
balanced way, that some Southern slave
owners were, perhaps, kind human beings,
and some of them were brutal.
And thats precisely what director Steve
McQueen did with this years best picture
Oscar-winner, 12 Years a Slave.
The fact that the 75th anniversary of
Gone With the Wind comes in the same
year that 12 Years a Slave wins it makes
it, for a change, a little bit simple,
Mankiewicz said. Like, Look what kind of
progress weve made?And if somebody has,
what, 6? hours to view both? Thats a pretty
good way to get a little cross-section of
studying America and studying Hollywood
simultaneously.
So what is McQueens take on Gone With
the Wind?
I havent seen it, he said.
Gone With the Wind at 75: Celebration, censure
short time later, SamTrans spokeswoman
Jayme Ackemann said.
It is unclear if the two in the van were
wearing seat belts, Ackemann said.
Five bus passengers were also taken to a
hospital with injuries not considered life-
threatening, Ackemann said.
SamTrans is investigating the incident
and is downloading the digital video
recorder on the bus to assess speed of travel
during the crash, Ackemann said.
Skid marks appeared on the street origi-
nating on the southbound side and ending
on the northbound side in front of the bus.
Ackemann said it is not known why or how
the driver veered into oncoming trafc.
It appears the van may have been
attempting to make a turn. There is no street
there, but there are driveways, Ackemann
said.
Portions of El Camino Real were closed
until approximately 4:30 p.m. Friday
CRASH
form and Diggs was in a camouflage T-shirt
and hat.
Although Tim cites a sympathy vote, it
was fun and exciting for the family to come
home with the grand prize that year. The
following year, he was considered the
grand marshal and wore a top hat.
The family tends to go with topical
themes and a lot of it has to do with the
interests of the children. Last year, Diggs
dressed up with another dog for a Wizard of
Oz themed costume since the movie is
Tims wife Cheryls favorite film, with
Diggs as the flying monkey and a cocker
spaniel dressed up as Dorothy.
Its a ton of fun and its a really great
civic activity where you get to see all the
fun costumes people bring their pets in,
Tim said. We start to think a couple
months out what were going to do in the
Pet Parade.
Fortunately, his dog and the dogs
theyve worked with are all very agreeable,
he said.
Our dog has actually kind of enjoyed it,
he said. Each year, it seems to get bigger
and better.
This year, Tots from Palcare, a
Burlingame preschool and child care facili-
t y, will lead the parade that marches up
Broadway from Chula Vista Avenue to
Capuchino Avenue, where it will turn right
and circle back down Broadway. The
Burlingame High School Band and the Los
Trancos Woods Community Marching
Band will play during the parade and partic-
ipants will be entertained before and after
the parade by the San Mateo Elks Concert
Band. The entire parade consists of a stroll
that lasts about 30 minutes. Broadway
businesses will host sidewalk sales and
special promotions.
For the first time, the Hope Walk is
introducing a fundraising component to
the parade. Participants who want to help
animals at the Peninsula Humane Society
& SPCA(PHS/SPCA) are encouraged to col-
lect pledges. PHS/SPCAs Hope Program
provides extensive medical care or behav-
ioral work for animals prior to adoption.
Peninsula Humane Societys Pet Assisted
Therapy animals will also participate.
Diggs, who is about 9 or 10 years old, was
adopted from the PHS.
The parade was started in 2004 by a
group of volunteers to promote community
spirit. It is entirely supported by volun-
teers and community donations.
The first year was pretty pathetic; there
were a couple dozen people, said Vice
Mayor Terry Nagel, who helped organize
the original event. It was a rainy day and
we straggled down Broadway.
Things got huge the second year and it
was totally unmanageable, she said. After
going to parade school, along with years
of practice, the city has gotten it down to a
science, she said.
Detector dog Skipper and representatives
from the U.S. Customs Border Protection
unit, also known as the Beagle Brigade,
will serve, as grand marshal. The newly-
formed mid-Peninsula Dog Scouts of
America troop owners with their cadet
dogs will also participate.
Every participant will receive a souvenir
ribbon and fancy ribbons are awarded for
the best pet trick, most unusual pet, best
dressed pet and most original float, group
or wagon. The grand prize winner receives
a special prize too. Judging will take place
immediately after the parade at Broadway
and Capuchino Avenue in front of
Broadway Grill. The judges will select
approximately six finalists in each catego-
ry prior to and during the parade.
Afloat can be a decorated bicycle, wagon
or kiddie car. No political entries are per-
mitted, but all types of pets are welcome.
Children without pets are encouraged to
bring stuffed animals. Entries must be
operated by foot power only, unless spe-
cial arrangements are made.
Meanwhile, the Graczewskis want to
continue participating in years to come.
Its one of those things now where we
have to mark our calendars, Tim said.
Even if he (Diggs) should pass or gets too
old to participate, we have every intention
of going and watching it.
This year expect to see Diggs as a giant
tarantula from the Harry Potter series since
this year the family is doing the theme,
Harry Poocher.
The parade starts at 10 a.m. Saturday,
Sept. 27. Pet owners who wish to march
with their pets must report by 9:30 a.m. to
the parking lot near Broadway and Chula
Vista Avenue. Its important to show up
early, as thats where the judges scope out
the competition, Nagel said. There is no
charge to participate and water stations
will be provided for pets.

U.S.-led strikes
hit IS group as
coalition grows
By Ryan Lucas
BEIRUT American warplanes
and drones hit Islamic State group
tanks, Humvees, checkpoints and
bunkers in airstrikes Friday tar-
geting the extremists in Syria and
Iraq, as the U.S.-led coalition
expanded to include Britain,
Denmark and Belgium.
The European countries commit-
ted to take part only in the Iraq
part of the military campaign,
leaving the operation in Syria to
the United States and ve Arab
allies who began conducting
airstrikes there on Tuesday. Still,
the broadening of the coalition
provides a welcome boost for
President Barack Obama and the
American-led campaign.
The U.S.-led operation aims to
roll back and ultimately crush the
Islamic State group, which has
carved out a proto-state stretching
from Syrias northern border with
Turkey to the outskirts of
Baghdad. The militants have
employed brute force to achieve
their goals, massacring captured
Syrian and Iraqi troops, terroriz-
ing minorities in both countries
and beheading two American jour-
nalists and a British aid worker.
While striking fear into its
opponents, the Islamic State
groups tactics have also helped
galvanize the international com-
munity to move against the
extremists. France has already
joined the U.S.-led effort in Iraq,
and is considering expanding its
role to Syria as well. The
Netherlands, too, has said it would
take part in the bombing cam-
paign in Iraq.
Denmark, Belgium and Britain
all signed on as well on Friday.
Denmark said it would send
seven F-16 fighter jets and 250
pilots and support staff, while
Belgium will contribute six F-
16s that are already en route to
Jordan so they can go into
action as early as Saturday.
No one should be ducking in
this case, said Danish Prime
Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt.
Everyone should contribute.
British lawmakers also voted
Friday to join the coalition.
London is expected to deploy
Tornado fighters, which are in
Cyprus within striking dis-
tance of northern Iraq.
This is about psychopathic ter-
rorists that are trying to kill us
and we do have to realize that,
whether we like it or not, they
have already declared war on us,
Prime Minister David Cameron
told a tense House of Commons in
a more than six-hour debate.
There isnt a walk on by option.
There isnt an option of just hop-
ing this will go away.

Surrounded by compatriots
among a row of white canvas
tents and prefabricated homes,
Bahjat Molla sings mournfully
of missing his Latakia home, of
the aroma of freshly brewed cof-
fee, of sitting with his mother.
Its an impromptu performance
for the 22-year old in front of
some of the 345 Syrian refugees
who started settling in Friday in
this former army camp converted
into way station for newly-
arrived migrants. He doesnt dis-
appoint.
A day earlier, the refugees had
survived a seaborne ordeal when
their small, rickety fishing boat
got into trouble a few days after
setting sail from Latakia.
Lashed by high waves, the boat
issued a distress call some 50
nautical miles off Cyprus
southwestern coastal town of
Paphos.
They were picked up by a
Cypriot cruise ship on its way
back from an Aegean island cruise.
In Syria we dont have many
choices, its either death or
death, Molla said through an
interpreter. Because were either
staying in Syria and facing death
there, or taking the risk and
leaving with the slim hope.

review and approval, said Chief
Operating Ofcer Robert Porter. The
charter will be somewhat separated
from the middle school, said Trustee
Seth Rosenblatt.
Given the information we had last
night, Rosenblatt said Friday. It
seemed like the best location nan-
cially and best to give them their own
space. Major decisions are wrapped up,
but we have plenty to work on. The
school district is constantly going to
have to be looking out for additional
new space in any form as we continue
to grow.
Presently, the Edison Montessori
School and the two district special edu-
cation preschool classes and pre-
school support services occupy seven
portables on the upper campus that
will have to be moved. The board is
considering moving Edison to another
campus, while the preschool could
return to Arundel Elementary School,
according to board President Adam
Rak. The Charter Learning Center may
use the portables, but thats still to be
determined.
Still, Trustee Nicole Bergeron said
this was the best option the district
had for the time being given its very
limited choices.
It just to has to do with where there
is already grading; moving dirt is
hugely expensive, she said. Getting
a site ready to be built upon is a pretty
expensive proposition. As school
enrollment continues to grow, if there
was ever an opportunity to acquire
more land in a cost-effective way that
would benet the district, Id be open
to it.
Bergeron said San Carlos should be
tremendously proud of the Charter
Learning Center for its success and the
fact it takes San Carlos students who
would otherwise be in other schools,
leading to even worse overcrowding in
the district.
Initially, the district was consider-
ing a land swap with the city for a park
parcel at North Crestview, but, ulti-
mately, Councilman Bob Grassilli
voted along with Councilman Matt
Grocott against the plan they believed
would increase trafc, eliminate pre-
cious open space and tax the citys cof-
fers building fields and fighting
expected litigation by neighbors. The
tentative deal called for the building of
a new Charter Learning Center on the
land. The district would have given the
city approximately 4 acres on the
backside of Tierra Linda, a 2.9-acre
open space piece adjacent to Heather
currently used as a dog park and $1.5
million to invest in a city-owned ath-
letic eld at Tierra Linda. If any of the
three parcels were ever used or sold for
development, the city and school
would have split the prot s.
Further, in August, the district voted
to shut down the possibility of mov-
ing the school to Heather Elementary
School.
Making Tierra Linda more accessible
while also easing trafc is another
concern of the board. The board has
also begun discussions about buying a
house on Dartmouth Avenue to create
additional access to the school. The
board directed staff Thursday to look
into the possibility. This could pro-
vide additional access into the Tierra
Linda campus, along with extra eld
space, Rak said.

average to a 1 percent gain.
As the third quarter nears an end,
economists envision a strengthening
economy through the end of 2014 and
into 2015. Many think the economy
is growing in the current July-
September quarter at a rate of around 3
percent.
Sal Guatieri, senior economist at
BMO Capital Markets, is slightly
more optimistic than most. He said a
brighter outlook for business invest-
ment spending and other good eco-
nomic reports had led him to revise his
GDP forecast to 3.2 percent growth for
the July-September period, up from
2.8 percent earlier.
The American economy is ring on
virtually all cylinders and cruising at a
decidedly stronger rate than in recent
years, Guatieri said.
Fridays report on GDP the econo-
mys total output of goods and servic-
es was the governments third and
nal estimate for the second quarter.
The nal upward revision was driven
by new-found strength in business
investment, which grew at an annual
rate of 9.7 percent last quarter thanks
to higher spending on structures and
equipment. The governments previ-
ous such estimate had been 8.1 percent
Exports also helped boost the econ-
omy. The data showed that exports
grew at an 11.1 percent rate in the sec-
ond quarter, stronger than 10.1 percent
in its earlier estimate.
Consumer spending, which accounts
for more than two-thirds of economic
activity, grew at a 2.5 percent annual
rate. That gure was unchanged from
the previous estimate. But it repre-
sents twice the 1.2 percent growth in
consumer spending in the rst quarter.
The surge of activity this spring was
in part a turnaround from the harsh
winter, which disrupted factory produc-
tion and kept consumers away from
stores.
Because of the rough start to the
year, growth for 2014 overall is
expected to be a temperate 2.1 percent,
little changed from last years 2.2 per-
cent increase.
Analysts have sketched a much
brighter outlook for 2015. They say
that the economy is entering a period
of above-trend growth as unemploy-
ment falls. More job growth should
translate into stronger consumer
spending.
Economists at JPMorgan Chase pre-
dict growth of 3 percent next year.
That would be a signicant improve-
ment on the economys average annual
growth of around 2 percent since the
end of the recession in June 2009.
Federal Reserve policymakers last
week decided to keep a key short-term
interest rate at record lows, near zero,
and indicated that they planned to keep
it there for a considerable time.
Analysts regarded the Feds com-
ments as support for their view that the
Fed wont start raising rates until the
mid-2015. The low rates should help
bolster higher spending by consumers
and businesses, which in turn would
boost growth and drive down the
unemployment rate, now at 6.1 per-
cent.

THE SAN Bruno Planning Commission will meet Tuesday, Oc-
tober 7, 2014 at 7:00 p.m., at the Senior Center, 1555 Crystal
Springs Road, San Bruno, CA and take action on the following
items. All interested persons are invited to attend.
406-418 San Mateo Avenue: Request for a General Plan
Amendment, Specific Plan Amendment, Zoning Code Text
Amendment, Conditional Use Permit, Parking Exception, and
Architectural Review Permit to allow the construction of a
mixed-use building consisting of 83 residential units, 5,562
square feet of commercial space, and below grade parking per
SBMC 12.136, 12.112, 12.100, and 12.108.
Proposed Amendments
General Plan Amendment: The San Bruno 2009
General Plan would be amended to conditionally
allow residential uses along the ground floor level
on all streets in the downtown, except San Mateo
Avenue.
Specific Plan Amendment: The San Bruno
Transit Corridors Plan would be amended to
conditionally allow residential uses along the ground
floor level on all street in the downtown, except San
Mateo Avenue.
Zoning Code Text Amendment: The San Bruno
Municipal Code would be amended to conditionally
allow residential uses along the ground floor level on
all streets in the downtown except San Mateo Ave-
nue, to ensure density requirements are consistent
with the San Bruno Transit Corridors Plan, and to
ensure all setback requirements are consistent with
the San Bruno Transit Corridors Plan.
Recommended Environmental Determination: No additional
environmental analysis is required for the proposed General
Plan Amendment, Specific Plan Amendment, and Zoning Code
Text Amendment.
The 406-418 San Mateo Avenue project is located within the
Transit Corridors Plan (TCP) area. A Program Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program was prepared for the TCP and was adopted by the
City Council on February 12, 2013. The 406-418 San Mateo
Avenue property was analyzed in the TCP EIR at a program-
matic level, with potential impacts identified and mitigations ap-
plied in the program EIR to avoid or reduce potentially signifi-
cant impacts.
Under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines
sections 15168 (Program EIR), 15162 (Subsequent EIRs and
Negative Declarations), and 15183 (Projects Consistent With a
Community Plan or Zoning), subsequent individual projects
can utilize a previously certified program EIR if all potentially
significant environmental impacts of the proposed individual
project: (1) have been previously identified (i.e., are not new)
and are not substantially more severe than those identified in
the previous EIR, (2) have been avoided or mitigated to the ex-
tent feasible as a result of the previous EIR, and (3) have been
examined in sufficient detail in the previous EIR to enable
those impacts to be avoided or mitigated by the mitigations in
the EIR, site-specific project revisions, or the imposition of uni-
formly applicable development policies. If these conditions are
met, then the City can approve the individual project as within
the scope of the previous EIR, and no additional environmental
document is required. The certified TCP EIR and the 406-418
San Mateo Avenue project meet these CEQA conditions.

By Amir Shah and Mirwais Khan
KABUL, Afghanistan The Taliban
beheaded 12 Afghan civilians, mostly fam-
ily members of local policemen, in an
assault that was part of a week-long offen-
sive that has so far killed 60 people and
wounded scores in a remote province in
eastern Afghanistan, ofcials said Friday.
However, a Taliban spokesman in Ghazni
province denied the reports of beheadings
and civilian slayings, insisting the insur-
gents were only fighting Afghan forces
there.
The violence comes amid the annual
Taliban offensive, which this year will be
an important gauge of how well Afghan
government forces are able to face insur-
gent attacks ahead of the withdrawal of for-
eign combat troops at the end of the year.
According to the Ghazni provincial
deputy police chief, Asadullah Ensa, the
Taliban on Thursday night captured and
beheaded 12 civilians and torched some 60
homes in an attack in the provinces district
of Arjistan.
Details were sketchy because of the
remoteness of the rugged mountainous
area, about 100 kilometers (60 miles)
southwest of the capital, Kabul, but
Afghan officials said that women and chil-
dren were believed to be among the casual-
ties. There are no NATO troops stationed in
the district.
Beheadings are rare in Afghanistan,
though they occasionally take place as part
of the Taliban campaign to intimidate and
exact revenge on the families of Afghan
troops and security forces.
We dont have the time for this (behead-
ings) while we are fighting, Taliban
spokesman Qari Yousaf told the Associated
Press over the phone. These reports are
baseless and a lie.
The offensive in Ghazni comes as
Afghanistan readies to inaugurate the coun-
trys new president, Ashraf Ghani
Ahmadzai, who ofcially takes over from
Hamid Karzai on Monday.
Over the past week, the Taliban have been
attacking several villages in Ghaznis
Arjistan district, Ensa said, and battles in
the area were still raging Friday, he said.
