Schools pull bond from ballot

Delay will allow district to study possible sites for fourth school in Foster City
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A $25 million bond to build a fourth elementary school will not go before Foster City residents on the November ballot after school ofcials pulled it to conduct environmental and nancial studies on a possible site. During a special meeting Monday, the San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School
Cyndy Simms
District Board of Trustees voted unanimously to remove a $25 million bond from the ballot. The district has been researching possible locations for a fourth school in Foster City to accommodate overcrowding for some time. While it has identi-
ed a preferred location, the board wanted more time to study it before asking voters to fund construction of the school. This is a timing issue, said Trustee Julie Chan, who stressed the district still plans to construct the fourth school. Superintendent Cyndy Simms explained the district has found a preferred site for the school. While that location was not disclosed during the meeting, the district would like to
study the nancial and environmental feasibility before asking for funds to build the school, she said. Board President Mark Hudak agreed that adding community input on the location is also desired. Delaying a bond vote will not impede the district from building a school in time to meet growing enrollment needs, he said.

Overall student achievement is improving but mastery of academic subjects varies dramatically depending on ethnicity, a trend that continues both locally and statewide, according to data released by the California Department of Education Monday. Academic achievement has increased over the nine years since all California Standards Tests were completely aligned to state standards. The percentage of students scoring procient or advanced increased by 19 percent in English-language arts and 15 percent in math, according to the 2011 Standardized Testing and Reporting Program results released Monday. While students in San Mateo County boast higher scores than the state average, local students made only small gains. Gains aside, the achievement gap that persists between white or Asian children compared to Hispanic or black children is stark even in San Mateo County. Looking at English comprehension, for example, a 30- to 40-point gap is present between the groups locally at every grade level.

THAT SCRAMBLED WORD GAME
by David L. Hoyt and Jeff Knurek
In 1777, American forces won the Revolutionary War Battle of Bennington. In 1812, Detroit fell to British and Indian forces in the War of 1812. In 1858, a telegraphed message from Britains Queen Victoria to President James Buchanan was transmitted over the recently laid trans-Atlantic cable. In 1920, Ray Chapman of the Cleveland Indians was struck in the head by a pitch thrown by Carl Mays of the New York Yankees; Chapman died the following morning. In 1948, baseball legend Babe Ruth died in New York at age 53. In 1954, Sports Illustrated was rst published by Time Inc. In 1956, Adlai E. Stevenson was nominated for president at the Democratic national convention in Chicago. In 1977, Elvis Presley died at his Graceland estate in Memphis, Tenn., at age 42. In 1987, 156 people were killed when Northwest Airlines Flight 255 crashed while trying to take off from Detroit. In 1991, Pope John Paul II began the rst-ever papal visit to Hungary. Ten years ago: Paul Burrell, trusted butler of Princess Diana for many years, was charged with the theft of hundreds of royal family items, a charge he denied. (The case collapsed when Queen Elizabeth II told prosecutors that Burrell had told her he was holding some of Dianas things for safekeeping. ) Five years ago: John Mark Karr was arrested in Thailand as a suspect in the slaying of child beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey. (Karrs confession that he had killed JonBenet was later discredited.) New York City ofcials released new tapes of hundreds of heart-wrenching phone calls from the World Trade Center on 9/11, along with other emergency transcripts. Alfredo Stroessner, the anti-communist general whod ruled Paraguay for decades, died in Brasilia, Brazil, at age 93.

Whats in a name? Delete the word lobster
NEW YORK New York seafood lovers have been schooled. Due to the keen eye of a New Orleans writer, a famous destination for Manhattan foodies is now changing the name of its Lobster Salad. The upscale Zabars deli had used that term for 20 years, but it turns out there was no lobster. During a recent visit, the New Orleans food writer read the ingredients. The label read: wild fresh water craysh. Owner Saul Zabar reasoned that craysh, while not Maine lobster, is a distant cousin. Then he got a call from the Maine Lobster Council, which begged to differ. The salad goes for $16.95 a pound. Zabar says using actual lobster would make it even more expensive. Its now being renamed Seafare Salad. ed ofcers riding horseback patrols. The computers, known as Mobile Data Terminals, are fastened to the breast collars and lie on the horses backs. Lt.

Fake pterodactyl nabs surfer in statue prank

CARDIFF-BY-THE-SEA A bronze surfer statue near San Diego thats been the target of many gags has been hit again. Unknown pre-dawn pranksters on Saturday constructed an elaborate scene of a pterodactyl seemingly about to pluck the sculpture of a young surfer off his board. The pranksters placed a painted backdrop of a volcanic eruption behind the surfer statue. The Los Angeles Times reports crowds of gawkers and photographers gathered around the 16-foot creation after the sun rose. Last year someone surrounded the roadside statue in Cardiff-by-the-Sea with a papier mache model of a great white shark that appeared to be swallowing it whole.

quell a brewing protest on one of its platforms over police brutality. Cellphone service was operating Monday night as an estimated 50 protesters gathered on the Civic Center Station platform chanting no justice, no peace shortly after 5 p.m. Thirty minutes later, police in riot gear and wielding batons closed the station and cleared the platform after protesters briefly delayed an east-bound train from departing. From Civic Center, the protesters were joined by more demonstrators and marched down San Franciscos Market Street and attempted to enter to more stations. Officials closed those stations as well. Once the platform becomes unsafe, we cant jeopardize the safety of patrons and employees, BART Deputy Police Chief Dan Hartwig said. Hundreds of people stood on the sidewalks and streets outside stations in the citys Financial District on Monday evening. Many of the people appeared to be commuters.

Autopsy: One pit bull killed pregnant Pacifica woman

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Preliminary results from an autopsy performed Friday on a pregnant woman found mauled to death in her Pacica home show that one of her two pit bulls was likely responsible for killing her, police said Monday. Darla Napora, 32, was found Thursday afternoon when her husband came home from work and said their 2-year-old male pit bull was hovering over her badly mauled body, according to police. Efforts to revive Napora were not successful and paramedics declared her dead at the home.
The dog believed to have been responsible for the attack was shot and killed by police when it escaped from a backyard enclosure and approached emergency responders. An autopsy conducted by the San Mateo County Coroners Ofce concluded that Napora died from a combination of shock and blood loss from dog bites, police reported Monday. Preliminary results from a necropsy preformed on the deceased pit bull showed the dog was likely the only animal that took part in the fatal attack. Investigators collected tissue samples, blood evidence and teeth impressions from the suspected dog and the
second pet pit bull, a female. Two forensic odontologists, or bite experts, compared the teeth impressions with bite marks on Napora and concluded that the wounds on her body were consistent with bites from the suspect male dog, according to police. There was no evidence of any other trauma suffered by Napora that led to her death. Complete and nal results from the autopsy and necropsy will not be available for at least two weeks. The female pit bull remains in custody at the Peninsula Humane Society.

existing homes at 50, 80 and 88 Finger Ave. and replacing them with nine houses and a Ushaped private road on the 1.69-acre site. The one-way road would be 22 feet wide rather than the 25 foot required minimum and the homes would range in size from 2,725 and 3,500 square feet. The project will have signicant impacts on archeological resources, air and water quality, biological resources, light and glare, according to the DEIR. All could be reduced to less than signicant with certain measures, the document concluded. The DEIR also found less than signicant impacts to historic resources, aesthetics, land use, transportation and greenhouse gas emissions. The settlement mandated the EIR specically look at the projects aesthetics, cultural resources, trafc safety, parking and neighborhood compatibility. The report must also evaluate any impacts to Cordilleras Creek, which sits on the north side of Finger Avenue and raised concern with opponents about storm water runoff and erosion. The suit against the city noted concern that buildings will be placed within a 25-foot creek setback required by the citys storm water control ordinance adopted in 2005. The city, through the EIR process, must also consider alternatives to the original proposal, including building no project at all. Others are construction of four or five single-family homes as currently allowed under zoning guidelines or developing a permit conforming to the creek setback standards. The upcoming DEIR hearing comes ve years after the original 2006 proposal. On May 19, 2009, the Planning Commission voted 3 to 2 to certify the mitigated negative declaration but voted to deny the project itself. The City Council denied the rst appeal of the decision but, that October, after revisions to the plan, it voted 6 to 1 in favor based on a less-stringent mitigated negative declaration. Over the years, the plan reduced off-street parking spaces from seven to ve, ve of the homes sizes were reduced by 895 square feet, reduced trees removed from 13 to 10 and established storm runoff draining into a new system on Finger Avenue rather than into Cordilleras Creek. The Redwood City Planning Commission meets 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 16 at City Hall, 1017 Middleeld Road, Redwood City.
City seeks public input on subdivision plan

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

Court wants quick filing of redistricting lawsuits
SACRAMENTO The California Supreme Court wants to expedite any potential court challenges to the states new electoral maps by requiring electronic ling of lawsuits. The court issued the order Monday, shortly after the California Citizens Redistricting Commission certied the legislative and congressional maps. The order requires potential lawsuits to be uploaded to the courts website. Court administrator Frederick Ohlrich says electronic petitions are necessary so the court can rule in time for the June 2012 statewide election. Under the state constitution, registered voters have 45 days or until Sept. 29 to le a challenge. So far no lawsuits have been led. The California Republican Party, however, is backing a petition for a ballot referendum seeking to overturn the state Senate map.
Six months after Redwood City ofcials rescinded approval of a nine-home subdivision plan because it didnt rst require a full environmental impact review, the Planning Commission wants public input on whether the proposal is a good t for Finger Avenue. The City Council agreed in February to revisit the project as part of a stipulated judgment reached with The Friends of Cordilleras Creek and Finger Avenue Pride Committee. The settlement ended a lawsuit filed in November 2009 in which the two groups claimed Redwood City violated fundamental state requirements for development by approving the project without a complete look at its impacts and feasible alternatives. The city only required a mitigated negative declaration which is a lesser review. The new draft EIR comment was made public July 22, tipping off a 45-day comment period ending Sept. 6. The Planning Commission will hold a public hearing Tuesday to solicit testimony that will be incorporated into the nal document. The commission will hold a hearing on that review and associated permits in the fall. The proposal calls for demolishing six

STATE GOVERNMENT
The California Legislature again approved legislation authored by state Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, to require minors to wear helmets while skiing or snowboarding. Once the bill SB 105 is received by Gov. Jerry Brown, he will have 12 days to either sign it or veto it. Last year, then-governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed an identical measure Yees SB 880 but vetoed a companion bill that called for ski resorts to develop and publish safety plans. Enactment of SB 880 was contingent on the signing of AB 1652 authored by then-assemblyman and now Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones, DSacramento and the helmet mandate did not go into effect, according to Yees office. This year, Yee reintroduced the bill as a standalone measure, according to Yees office. The state Senate sent Brown two language rights bills authored by Yee. SB 111 is legislation that would prohibit businesses from denying service to a patron because of the language he or she speaks. SB 88 would help protect the integrity of ballots, specifically addressing the use of fraudulent Asian character-based names such as Chinese, Korean and Japanese translations used during elections, according to Yees office. Two years ago, Schwarzenegger vetoed Yees SB 242, which like SB 111 attempted to add protections for language to the states civil rights act the law that prohibits discrimination within business establishments. While speaking ones native language is generally protected in cases of employment and housing under state law, such protections are not currently extended to consumers, according to Yees office.
Cohort of alleged rapist T guilty of drug charges

A transient discovered with white powder on his nose by Redwood City police seeking his friend, a parolee accused of beating and sodomizing a 19year-old inside a van, was convicted of misdemeanor cocaine possession. Ricardo S. Avila, 18, was immediately sentenced to 111 days in county jail with credit for the same amount earned while in custody. While Avilas charge was not particularly unusual, the circumstances of his arrest were of note because it happened while authorities sought a man
suspected of sexually assaulting a teen months prior. Redwood City police went to a hotel room Dec. 13, 2010 looking for Corey Lee Bell, 32, who was suspected in the May assault. Bell and Avila were both inside. While one ofcer made contact with Bell, another reported seeing several used twists on the oor and small amounts of suspected cocaine on Avilas nose, T-shirt and the nightstand. Avila denied the substance was cocaine but presumptive tests were posi-

Parolee bottles up plea deal for theft of liquor

At least he didnt drink and drive. A San Leandro parolee who reportedly rode BART to Millbrae to steal 39 bottles of liquor from a grocery store pleaded no contest yesterday to theft charges rather than stand trial next month. Joseph Paul Funtanilla, 44, vacated his Sept. 6 jury trial and instead took a negotiated deal on one count of felony commercial burglary. He was immediately sentenced to 16 months in prison with credit of 116 days.
Funtanilla has a 25-year criminal record of theft and drug offenses, included seven prior felony convictions, according to the San Mateo County District Attorneys Ofce. On June 13, Funtanilla and an unidentied accomplice were caught on security camera footage at Lucky Supermarkets in Millbrae stealing $1,043.56 worth of alcohol.Funtanilla and the other man had taken BART to Millbrae, prosecutors said. The other man has never been identied. He has been in custody in lieu of $25,000 bail.

Doomsdaydefense cuts loom large

By Donna Cassata
WASHINGTON For the dozen lawmakers tasked with producing a decit-cutting plan, the threatened doomsday defense cuts hit close to home. The six Republicans and six Democrats represent states where the biggest military contractors Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics Corp., Raytheon Co. and Boeing Co. build missiles, aircraft, jet ghters and tanks while employing tens of thousands of workers. The potential for $500 billion more in defense cuts could force the Pentagon to cancel or scale back multibillion-dollar weapons programs. That could translate into signicant layoffs in a fragile economy, generate millions less in tax revenues for local governments and upend lucrative company contracts with foreign nations.
Were talking about cuts of such magnitude that everything is reduced to some degree.

The cuts could hammer Everett, Wash., where some of the 30,000 Boeing employees are working on giant airborne refueling tankers for the Air Force, or Amarillo, Texas, where 1,100 Bell Helicopter Textron workers assemble the fuselage, wings, engines and transmissions for the V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft. Billions in defense cuts would be a blow to the hundreds working on upgrades to the Abrams tank for General Dynamics in Lima, Ohio, or the employees of BAE Systems in Pennsylvania. For committee members such as Sens. Patty Murray, D-Wash., Rob Portman, R-Ohio, and Pat Toomey, R-Pa., the threat of Pentagon cuts is an incentive to come up with $1.5
trillion in savings over a decade. Failure would have brutal implications for hundreds of thousands workers back home and raise the potential of political peril for the committees 12. I think we all have very good reasons to try to prevent the automatic cuts, Toomey told reporters last week when pressed about the impact on Pennsylvanias defense industry. That is not the optimal outcome here, the much better outcome would be a successful product from this committee. The panel has until Thanksgiving to come up with recommendations. If they deadlock or if Congress rejects their proposal, $1.2 trillion in automatic, across-the-board cuts kick in.
Up to $500 billion would hit the Pentagon. Those cuts, starting in 2013, would be in addition to the $350 billion, 10year reduction already dictated by the debt-limit bill approved by Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama this month. Not surprisingly, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has described the automatic cuts as the doomsday mechanism. Hes warned that the prospect of nearly $1 trillion in reductions over a decade would seriously undermine the militarys ability to protect the United States. For the Pentagon, were talking about cuts of such magnitude that everything is reduced to some degree, said Loren Thompson, a defense analyst at the Lexington Institute, a think tank. At that rate, youre eliminating the next generation of weapons.

Group seeks Amazon Assembly speaker calling for boycott over tax fight committee to review records
SACRAMENTO A coalition of nonprot groups is calling on customers of Amazon.com to cancel their accounts unless the Internet retailer stops resisting a California law that requires more online retailers to charge a state sales tax. The nonprots along with several state lawmakers Monday called on Amazon to stop cheating California by trying to repeal the law through a ballot referendum. Amazons opponents held a news
conference outside the Capitol announcing a new website ThinkBeforeYouClickCA.org that is intended to organize opposition to Amazon and explain how customers can close their accounts. Amazon.com Inc. did not immediately respond to an email and a call for comment Monday. Lawmakers in June approved a measure to expand collection of California sales tax to more Internet retailers, estimating it would bring in at least $200 million a year.
SACRAMENTO Assembly Speaker John Perez said Monday that he is forming a task force to review the Assemblys rules about releasing records, in response to continuing criticism over the Assemblys failure to release budgets that show lawmakers current ofce spending. The Los Angeles Democrat is embroiled in a feud with fellow Democratic Assemblyman Anthony Portantino, who said his ofce budg-
et was cut after he refused to vote for the state budget. Portantino has sought to show that his funding was only cut in retaliation after that vote. Members from both parties have expressed concerns to me about making Assembly expenditures more accessible, Perez said in a speech on the Assembly oor. He appointed Assembly Rules Committee Chairwoman Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, to lead a task force and issue a report when the Legislature reconvenes for its next session in January.
WASHINGTON Over the next few days the country will get a glimpse of a President Barack Obama rarely seen in recent months the one who engages with voters, not lawmakers, and kicks back in Midwestern diners, not just the Oval Ofce. The president set out Monday for a three-day bus tour through Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois that will give him a chance to hear directly from the public in a region that helped launch him to the White House in 2008, and where Republican presidential hopefuls are now battling it out. It comes after the president spent much of the summer holed up in the nations capital enmeshed in bitterly partisan negotiations on the debt crisis that cratered his approval ratings and those of Congress amid a faltering economy and high unemployment.
Even Trusted Publications Can Get the Facts Wrong

By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE Always take what you read with a grain of salt! It amazes me that so many articles I see being published in various magazines, tabloids, journals, etc. are implied to be factual and researched but in reality end up being riddled with partial truths, inaccuracies and falsehoods! I always like information that is backed up by provable facts, but am leery of articles that are hastily written and not checked out. Many people assume that all their reading material has been pre-verified by an editor. Accepting these erroneous types of writings as the gospel truth causes confusion among the public and can be potentially harmful! One serious example is the daily flooding of email stories that are passed from reader to reader (weve all received them) and taken by many recipients as factual writings. The majority of these emails, such as perceived parents searching for their missing child; hearsay about the Presidents status as an American citizen; rumors on the latest medical scare or remedy; handy household uses for cola; Bill Gates sharing his fortune with you if you forward that email to 10 friends; in addition to countless other stories are all found to be internet myths or hoaxes. TIP: You can easily check out the validity of every email story you receive by going to www.snopes.com and typing in the subject of any questionable email in the search box. In another example, I was recently given an article to review from Readers Digest called 13 Things the Funeral Director Wont Tell You as part of their series featuring different professions. Being an actual Funeral Director, and knowing the facts, I couldnt believe the inexplicable info I was reading in a supposedly reputable magazine such as Readers Digest. It was obvious to me that the author of the article and the editor of the magazine not only didnt check their alleged facts, but some of the items listed were misleading, incomplete assertions or just plain folklore! Anyone reading this would just assume that all was checked out in advance with experts and professionals before being printedbut in this case it was a listing of partial truths or unexplained hearsay. Since this article appeared (in the June/July 2011 issue) the National Funeral Directors Association among other groups have chastised Readers Digest for their inept reporting. This circumstance makes it difficult for me to fully have faith in Readers Digest and reminds me that fallacies that can show up in otherwise trusted publications. Another situation similar to the above appeared a while back in AARP magazine. I always viewed this publication as having a stellar reputation until I read an article about funeral rip-offs that was also filled with inaccurate statements. In that case AARP was not checking their facts either. The point is that some authors may have part of their facts correct or incorrectbut until you verify your reading material with a professional you should take what you read with some good humor and a grain of salt. If you ever wish to discuss cremation, funeral matters or want to make preplanning arrangements please feel free to call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650) 588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you in a fair and helpful manner.

Man strangled, hit with hammer in fight over stereo equipment
A South San Francisco man was strangled and hit with a hammer Sunday by a boy who was helping him clean out a garage, police said. The juvenile was helping the 47-year-old man at his home in the 300 block of Newman Drive when they got into an argument over a stereo amplier the man said the boy could have for his assistance, South San Francisco police Sgt. Joni Lee said. The argument turned physical, Lee said, and the boy choked the man until he was almost unconscious. He then took a hammer and struck the man twice in the head. Police responded to reports of a disturbance at around 12:30 a.m., Lee said. The boy was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and booked into Hillcrest Juvenile Facility. The man was taken to Kaiser Permanente in South San Francisco with serious head injuries and internal bleeding.

Bombs tear through 17 Iraq cities,63 killed

By Rebecca Santana and Hamid Ahmed
Local briefs
A car was burglarized near View Haven and Southdown roads around 8 a.m., police said. The burglar smashed a window to gain access. About three hours later, someone broke the window of another vehicle in the same area to steal belongings from inside the car, according to police. Police did not say what items were stolen from the cars, but they are looking for witnesses. Anyone who saw any suspicious vehicles or people in the area on Sunday morning is asked to contact the Hillsborough Police Department at 375-7470.
BAGHDAD A relentless barrage of bombings killed 63 people Monday in the most sweeping and coordinated attack Iraq has seen in over a year, striking 17 cities from northern Sunni areas to the southern Shiite heartland. The surprising scope and sophistication of the bloodbath suggested that al-Qaida remains resilient despite recent signs of weakness. Such attacks, infrequent as they are deadly, will likely continue long after American forces withdraw from the country. This is our destiny, said Eidan Mahdi, one of more than 250 Iraqis wounded Monday.
Mahdi was lying in a hospital bed in the southern city of Kut. One of his eyes was closed shut with dried blood, and burns covered his hands and head. While some Iraqis expressed resignation, others voiced fury at security ofcials and Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Where is the government with all these explosions across the country? Where is alMaliki? Why doesnt he come to see? said Ali Jumaa Ziad, a Kut shop owner. Ziad was brushing pieces of human esh from the oor and off equipment in his shop. The bombs went off on a hot and sunny morning as people were headed to work. Explosive devices were planted in the vests of suicide attackers, in parked cars, along the sides of roads and even on light poles.
City looks to curb false alarms

Amendments to Foster Citys False Alarm ordinance recently went into effect to encourage residents to make quicker repairs to malfunctioning alarm systems or changes in practices that result in false alarms. The previous city ordinance permitted three false alarms a year before a ne was imposed. The new ordinance reduces the number of free false alarms to only one per year. The City Council also boosted the nes associated with excessive high-risk false panic alarms or false hold-up alarms. Increasing the ne for high-risk alarms recognizes the increased level of police time required to address the more serious and potentially dangerous types of calls, according to a prepared statement by the citys police department. The nes will range from $50 to $500, depending on the number false alarms to which police respond.
Deputies arrest uncooperative shooting victim

Sheriffs investigators in Half Moon Bay continue to search for a suspect on a green bike who fled the scene of a shooting that left one man injured Sunday afternoon. Deputies responded to reports that five or six shots had been fired in the 200 block of Grove Street at about 4:45 p.m., according to the San Mateo County Sheriffs Office. Arriving deputies found Jose Monroy, 29, of Half Moon Bay, at the west end of Magnolia Street. Deputies said that Monroy was intoxicated and uncooperative. The victim claimed he had sprained his ankle until deputies noticed blood coming out of a hole in his shoe and determined he had been shot in the foot. Monroy was arrested for public intoxication and taken to Stanford Medical Center, according to the Sheriffs Office. A witness told investigators that the suspected shooter was a Hispanic male in his early 20s who lived in the immediate area. Deputies detained two men in a Black Ford Mustang that matched the description of a vehicle leaving the area of the shooting, but the men were later released due to insufficient evidence linking them to the crime. Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call the Sheriffs Office Anonymous Tip Line at (800) 547-2700 or Detective Matt Broad at 363-4363.
Libyan rebels try to isolate Gadhafi

By Karin Laub
ZAWIYA, Libya Libyas rebels threatened to isolate Tripoli by blocking key supply routes and cutting oil pipelines on Monday after a dramatic weekend advance put them in the strongest position since the 6-month-old civil war began to attack Moammar Gadhas stronghold. In Washington, the Obama administration said the U.S. was encouraged by the rebel advances and hoped they had broken a month-
slong stalemate with Gadhas forces. We are closing the roads for Gadha so there is no way for him to bring anything to Tripoli, a rebel eld commander, Jumma Dardira, told the Associated Press. The rebels push into the strategic city of Zawiya on Saturday brought them within 30 miles of Tripoli, the closest they have ever gotten. Also Monday, U.S. defense ofcials said Libyan government forces tapped into their stores of Scud missiles this weekend, ring one for the rst time in this years conict with rebels, but hurting no one.
POST transfers 140-acre Pillar Point Bluff to county

The Peninsula Open Space Trust transferred the140-acre Pillar Point Bluff near Moss Beach to San Mateo County Aug. 9 so the land could be included in the James V. Fitzgerald Marine Reserve. The purchase was made possible by a $3 million grant from the Wildlife Conservation Board. The scenic bluff top, home to a section of the California Coastal Trail and a popular spot with hikers, is a natural extension of the reserve, whose habitat-rich shoreline at the foot of the bluff is a haven for a vast array of birds and sea creatures, according to POST. POST purchased the bulk of Pillar Point Bluff in 2004 and additional parcels in 2007 and 2008. Since then, POST volunteers and vendors have carried out extensive stewardship projects on the land, including removing invasive Pampas grass, rerouting hiking paths away from eroding slopes and reseeding worn patches of bluff top with native plants. POST also removed the crumbling foundation of a former dairy barn and restored abandoned irrigation ponds used by seasonal birds and resident wildlife, according to POST.

OPINION
possible, ostensibly for the challenge of an elite curriculum with a national assessment (exam) in the spring. Yet, because AP classes are graded on a weighted scale, with an A mark earning 5 grade points instead of 4, students are loading their schedule with these challenging classes primarily to boost their GPAs to levels previously unimaginable (Its not unusual these days to hear a student boasting about a 5.0 GPA). As a result, grade ination has been out of control. Five UC schools report average GPAs over 4.0 of those admitted; UCLA has the highest average, at 4.35*. Think about it: This years high school seniors will literally have to perform at 110 percent to get into UCLA. You can see the dilemma this presents for high schools. Although adding sections only contributes to grade ination and the pressure of the high school rat race, there is an increased demand for these AP courses from students that is impossible to ignore. As a result, many California high schools are dramatically expanding their AP programs, offering open enrollment to all students with no prerequisites, teacher recommendations or entry requirements. Take San Mateos Hillsdale High School for example. In the past ve years, Hillsdale has had a 35 percent increase in participation in its AP English literature and composition program, from 75 students in 2006 to over 100 in 2010. This increase in accessibility to AP courses has earned Hillsdale its place on Newsweeks 2011 List of Americas Best High Schools, an honor heavily weighted on the number of AP courses a school offers (rather than the passing rate on the actual AP

exam). With this potential mark of distinction from a national magazine and the pressure of student and parent demand for more AP courses, public high schools are loading students schedules with difcult, college level courses with very little personal counseling, and the schools are being lauded for it. Colleges could alleviate a lot of this stress by abandoning the idea of weighted grades in their admissions process. There are some bright, highly motivated kids out there who can handle three or four AP courses on their schedule, but for most students one or two is plenty. It would be nice to see students choose these intensive courses more out of actual interest than simply trying to pad their GPAs. But for now the solution is up to the high schools. This Race to Nowhere, the apt title of a recent documentary that examines the connection between the pressures of high school and college admissions, may start with the colleges and the students but its being unwittingly perpetuated by the high schools themselves. *http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/ adm_fr/Frosh_Prof11.htm
Nels Johnson lives in Millbrae with his wife and two boys, and has taught high school for 21 years on the Peninsula.
ith students returning to high school yet again this week, Ive been thinking a lot about how different the school experience these days is for my two sons, incoming eighth and 10th graders in Millbrae, than it was for me. There is still the social awkwardness of growth and maturity the braces, the acne, the cracked voice and the humdrum of bells and boredom that are the timeless markers of adolescence. In this broad sense, teenagers and high schools never really change. But for the pluggers and high achievers, those with the aspiration of going to a decent college after their compulsory education, high school is a very different experience than it was 25 to 30 years ago. The desire to learn has been replaced by a competitive drive, a self-created rat race that robs kids not only of sleep but any sense of identity. I call the rat race self-created, because it is ultimately up to the kids themselves and their parents to decide their level of participation. Still, high schools and college are complicit in perpetuating the very real rat race of college admissions, an ambition that is much more difcult than when I was a kid. Competition can be a good motivator, even in education. If your child is challenge-driven, Advanced Placement offers the closest thing to a competitive private school environment in a public high school. There are 37 AP designated exams in 22 areas and, in the past 10 years, public high schools in California have doubled their AP offerings to give students more choices. The highest achievers take as many of these AP classes as
Letters to the editor

Savings at community colleges
Editor, While visiting my mother this week, I picked up a copy of the Aug. 8 edition of the Daily Journal to read the article on how San Mateo County might be able to procure additional savings (Audit: County could save more). I was proud to read that there have been many positive steps taken over the past few challenging years to rein in public spending. I wanted to highlight one step that often goes unnoticed: the work that the San Mateo County Community College District has done as part of its Capital Improvement Program. For many aspects of the program, they have taken a Total Cost of Ownership (also known as TCO) stance. For example, when making selections of xtures, furniture and equipment (FF&E), they are looking at initial purchase price, manufacturers warranty coverage and at only those products that can provide up to 30 years of service. This means that they will have to spend far less in the future than some other public agencies to maintain, operate and repurpose these items at the end of their usable life. This aspect is so much more important today than it has ever been, but rarely is it recognized for the real value it is bringing to the taxpayers investments in facilities. I would love to see the county publicly recognize the district administration for being such pragmatic and effective stewards of taxpayers resources. I only hope that other county agencies would follow suit. Though I am not an advocate of defacing any structure with spray paint, I must say I really enjoyed the Giants salute on my way to work each day. For over a year now, not one single additional item of grafti appeared on this stretch until two weeks ago. Some dumb killjoy decided to destroy this little piece of local exuberance by scribbling black paint over the letters. The next day, the black paint was then carefully removed and the salute was touched up to return to its original glory. This dumb killjoy struck again and now replaced the black scribbles with white scribbles as if to say, You wont stop me. So I say to this vandal, Do you really need to be such a pain to take away a small joy that many Bay Area residents had when a local team won a hard-fought battle after years of trying? In a time of high unemployment, home owners underwater and an economy circling the drain, cant we have something light-hearted to bring a smile to our faces once in a while? Why do you feel the need to take that away?
Stephanie OBrien Woodacre, Marin County
Graffiti along Highway 101

Editor, Over the years, I have noticed the increase of grafti along the sound and barrier walls that line Highway 101 and just cringe when I see this terrible display of vandalism. Day in and day out, new grafti appears only to be repainted over with a semi-matching paint color. One day when our beloved local team, the San Francisco Giants, made the playoffs and went on to win the World Series; some proud vandal took time to create a salute to them by spray-painting a large Giants on southbound Highway 101 to celebrate the victory.

altrain is looking better and better. Actually, so is morning gridlock on the highways. And walking. Biking. Kayaking. Air balloon, too there hasnt been much controversy with that mode of commuting, has there? Sure, the vineyard folks arent always happy about a basket full of oohing and aahing tourists landing unannounced in their elds but that certainly has to beat out the public relations nightmares and general problems with BART lately. Want to bash Bay Area Rapid Transit? Pick your poison: Computers that cant see the trains and therefore shut down the system at night, leaving East Bay riders wondering just how much a cab ride is going to be back to Dublin after the San Francisco Giants game; stations that close public rest rooms but always smell faintly of urine; ofcers who keep managing to shoot people; route extension plans that keep getting, well, extended; stained seats that are questionable to sit on; the ability to draw a yearly crowd of naked riders (who obviously must either stand or not be bothered by the mystery stains on the aforementioned seats). Ew. Kind of makes the San Francisco 30 Stockton bus route seem Febreezed, roomy and jovial. The cons also makes BART look like the only thing it has better than Caltrain is a lack of suicides. This last week, though, takes the cake and while BART may have started the latest battle, the peeved-off group so unoriginal it uses the moniker Anonymous and stole the Guy Fawkes image from the Wachowski brothers isnt doing much to end it. Theres something to ghting re with re. Its an entirely different stupid thing just to throw fuel on it. BARTs decision to cut cellular reception is in some ways understandable and in all ways debatable. BART technically has the right to ip off its equipment but even a board member is publicly questioning what appears to be a last-minute move to cut off a planned protest at its social media knees. BART might have stopped the initial protest but it only enamed the protesters, not to mention annoy those who cant make one ride without playing Words with Friends or calling shopping buddies to ask if Embarcadero or Montgomery is closer to Union Square. Of course, thats when there is service at all. Ever try checking the weather while ying through the Bay tunnel or waiting for the doors to close at 16th Street? Not a given. If BART had never conceded cutting service, riders and protesters alike might have just thought it was any other technologically sketchy day in which they crowd the station and silently pray no handicapped or elderly people snatch up the seats by the train door. So its established BART did itself no public relations favors. Granted, a protest that interrupts BART service is a heck of a lot more annoying than BART interrupting cellular service. Unfortunately, the latter brings to mind the suppression of free speech in faraway lands and makes one worry about what else any agency might justify in the name of public safety. While BART works to justify what it did, the hackers better get ready to explain how compromising the identity of passengers is an acceptable strike at the transit agency. Lets see, BART in the groups mind acted inappropriately toward the public so it thinks the correct response is, wait lets guess, also acting inappropriately toward the public. The question is when somebody uses those names, passwords and addresses for ill gain, who do those victims get to hack in retaliation? To be a bit crude, you dont stick it to the agency by sticking it to the users. Now Anonymous wants to protest BART again and BART is considering more cell switchoffs. Back and forth, back and forth. When will this newly launched battle end? BART made a bad call, but the hack jobs who leaked personal information are the ones truly on the wrong track.

three days, but nancial analysts warned investors not to assume that stocks have fully settled down after last weeks swings. The Dow rose or fell by at least 400 points in four straight days for the rst time. The rst downgrade of the U.S. credit rating triggered the volatility. It was worsened by concerns that Europes debt problems are worsening and that the U.S. economy is weakening. You might have these moments of quiet, but the debt crisis in Europe did not go away, said John Hailer, chief executive for the U.S. and Asia of Natixis Global Asset Management. Our issues with the debt, with what our tax policy is going to be going forward, our unemployment did not go away. We are probably going to have to look at some very different levels of volatility than what a lot of investors grew up with over the last 25 to 30 years, he said. A period of relative stability has been common in past volatile markets. In 2008, stocks plunged between midSeptember and mid-November. From mid-November until the beginning of January 2009, the Dow was in a lull of sorts. It ratcheted up and down, mostly in the high 8,000 range.

NEW YORK The Dow Jones industrial average notched a three-day win streak Monday for the rst time in six weeks. A $19 billion corporate buying spree and encouraging economic news from Japan sent the Dow up 213 points and erased its losses from last week. The return of whats called Merger Monday on Wall Street made investors more optimistic about the future. So did a report that Japans economy shrank less than feared after the earthquake and tsunami there on March 11. That helped ease worries that the U.S. economy may slide into another recession. The Dow rose 213.88 points, or 1.9 percent to 11,482.90. It has gained 763 points since Thursday. Thats the best three-day point gain since it rose 927 in November 2008, during the depths of the nancial crisis. The Dow is also up 7.1 percent over the three days, the biggest percentage gain since it rose 9.5 percent the rst three days of the bull market in March 2009.

Google seeks Motorola deal approval

Deal summary
THE FEDERAL REVIEW: Googles proposed purchase of Motorola Mobility for about $12.5 billion will be reviewed by the either the Justice Department or the Federal Trade Commission. THE EXPECTATION: Federal regulators are unlikely to try to block the acquisition because it could help drive competition in the fast-growing smartphone market.Devices running Googles Android software are battling Apples wildly popular iPhone and iPad, Research in Motions BlackBerry and handsets using Microsoft operating systems. THE BACKDROP: Its unclear how the Motorola Mobility acquisition could affect a broader FTC probe into potential anticompetitive behavior by Google.
By Michael Liedtke and Peter Svensson
SAN FRANCISCO It may be boldest move yet by a company known for being audacious: Google is spending $12.5 billion to buy Motorola Mobility. But the big prize isnt Motorolas lineup of cellphones, computer tablets and cable set-top boxes. Its Motorolas more than 17,000 patents a crucial weapon in an intellectual arms race with Apple, Microsoft and Oracle to gain more control over the increasingly lucrative market for smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices. If approved by federal regulators, the deal announced Monday could also trigger more multibillion-dollar buyouts. Nokia Corp., another cellphone manufacturer, and Research In Motion Ltd., which makes the BlackBerry, loom as prime targets.
The patents would help Google defend Android, its operating system for mobile devices, against a litany of lawsuits alleging that Google and its partners pilfered the innovations of other companies. In addition to the existing trove of patents that attracted Googles interest, Motorola, which introduced its rst cellphone nearly 30 years ago, has 7,500 others awaiting approval. Phone makers and software companies are engaged in all-out combat over patents for mobile devices.

Gilead says 4-in-1 HIV pill met goal in study

FOSTER CITY Gilead Sciences Inc. said Monday that its Quad HIV pill, which combines four drugs into one tablet, met its main goal in a late-stage study. The company said the drug worked at least as well as Gileads three-in-one drug Atripla after 48 weeks of treatment. Gilead said 88 percent of the patients who took the Quad therapy met a target for reduced levels of the virus in their blood. It said 84 percent of the Atripla patients met that target.
Rates of side effects and discontinuations were similar in both groups of patients. The trial will last 96 weeks. Gilead said it will present a full report of the results at a scientic conference in early 2012. The company expects to present results from a second late-stage trial during by the end of September, and it plans to le for U.S. approval of the Quad pill during the rst quarter of 2012. The Quad pill combines two approved HIV drugs, emtracitabine and tenofovir, with elvitegravir and cobicistat, which
have not yet been approved. Emtracitabine and tenofovir are the active ingredients in Gileads drug Truvada, and they are two of the three components in Atripla. Elvitegravir is intended to prevent HIV from integrating into the genetic material in human cells, and cobicistat is designed to increase the effectiveness of other drugs. Atripla is the rst once-a-day HIV drug. It is marketed by Gilead and Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. Shares of Gilead Sciences slipped 5 cents to $37.38 in morning trading.

Niners looking to add veteran depth at QB

By Janie McCauley
SANTA CLARA Daunte Culpepper threw passes to tight end Nate Lawrie once again, on a little bigger stage this time than during their stint together last year with the United Football Leagues Sacramento Mountain Lions. Culpepper worked out for some 30 minutes Monday in front of the San Francisco 49ers brass and Lawrie called it a crisp, impressive session. Offensive coordinator Greg Roman liked what he saw and heard from the veteran quarterback, but was noncommittal about whether San Francisco would sign him. It will come down to whether the Niners want to carry two or three quarterbacks, Roman said. I was catching balls for him during the workout, and he was throwing it around pretty good. Hes spinning it well, said Lawrie, who signed a one-year deal with San Francisco on Sunday. Dauntes got a ton of experience. Hes got a lot of success in this league. And the guy can play, he can throw the ball. Thats what it all boils down to. The Niners apparently believe Culpepper can still bring it despite a year in the minors,
so they gave him a hard look. They were at least considering adding Culpepper to their QB mix after coach Jim Harbaugh said Saturday there could be a need for a veteran backup behind projected starter Alex Smith and rookie Daunte Colin Kaepernick. Culpepper Harbaughs offense was ineffective in a 24-3 exhibition loss at New Orleans on Friday night and he is determined to be better come Saturdays home preseason game with the Oakland Raiders at Candlestick Park. Harbaugh wasnt available after Mondays practice, a scheduled day off from his media duties. Tight end Delanie Walker made it sound as if Culpepper had already joined the team. The 49ers had not made any kind of announcement other than Harbaugh acknowledging Sunday that Culpepper would get the tryout. Im just happy that we got him. He can help the team out with his expertise and give

Simmering feud beginning to boil

t used to be the San Francisco Giants biggest rival was the Los Angeles Dodgers. Now, it appears as if the Giants having a rivalry brewing on the East Coast (Southland?) with the Florida Marlins. First, there was benchwarmer Scott Cousins taking Buster Posey out with his collision at the plate in May. In July, octogenarian manager Jack McKeon questioned Bruce Bochys decision to include Tim Lincecum a pitcher nearly every baseball fan wants to see on the All-Star roster instead of one of the Marlins pitchers who no one knows or cares about. Sunday, Giants starting pitcher Ryan Vogelsong shoved against the Marlins, prompting Florida pitchers to throw inside to Vogelsong when he came to the plate, ultimately hitting him in is his triceps muscle in the seventh, prompting an angry outburst from Vogelsong. And then to add insult to injury, Grandpa McKeon had the audacity to refer to Vogelsong as, Volkswagen, or whatever his name is. Memo to the Marlins: take your whipping like men. And to McKeon: grow up, something I shouldnt have to tell an 80-year-old baseball manager. If you really dont know the guys name, just refrain from referencing him. It would have been perfectly ne to refer to Vogelsong as, their pitcher. Vogelsong was, however, an All Star this
Thome joins 600 HR club I

DETROIT Minnesota slugger Jim Thome become the eighth player to hit 600 home runs, connecting twice against the Detroit Tigers on Monday night. The 40-year-old Thome hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning for No. 599, then added a three-run shot in the seventh. The milestone came on a 2-1 pitch from Daniel Schlereth. Both homers were hit to the opposite eld. When No. 600 cleared the fence in left, Thome raised his right st as he went around rst base, and the crowd in Detroit came to its feet to applaud him. Thome became the second-fastest hitter to reach the milestone, hitting his 600th homer in at-bat No. 8,137. Babe Ruth needed only 6,921 at-bats.
His 65 home runs against Detroit are his most against any team. The Tigers posted a congratulatory message on the scoreboard after Thomes homer, and the Twins came out to greet him at home plate. Fighting injuries during a frustrating season in Minnesota, Thome hasnt received nearly the amount of national publicity that his predecessors who reached the milestone did. Even Derek Jeters accomplishment of 3,000 hits earlier this season dwarfed the attention Thome has been getting for a chase thats far more rare. Only seven hitters have hit more home runs than the bulky Thome: Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Ken Griffey Jr., Alex Rodriguez and Sammy Sosa. Rodriguez joined the 600-homer club last August.

Cesc Fabregas kisses the F.C. Barcelona badge after signing with the Spanish club Monday. Fabregas was developed by Barcelonas youth academy before going on to star in England for Arsenal at the age of 16. Now 24,Fabregas joins the best club in the world.
BARCELONA, Spain Cesc Fabregas long awaited return to his boyhood club nally was nalized Monday when he signed a ve-year contract with European champion Barcelona. It took a lot of years, months, days to get here ... its nice to be home after eight years, the former Arsenal captain said in Catalan during his presentation to fans at Camp Nou, where he repeatedly kissed the Barcelona crest on his new No. 4 jersey. But while the 24-year-old Fabregas said it was one of the happiest days of his life to once again don Barcelonas burgundy and blue, he acknowledged it was also bittersweet that he didnt leave Arsenal as a winner. I gave everything. But it didnt show in the club because I really only won an FA Cup, Fabregas said. One of my biggest regrets is not leaving Arsenal with a championship. Fabregas joined Arsenal in 2003 as a 16-year-old prospect from
Barcelonas La Masia academy. Within a month the Catalan playmaker became the youngest starter in Arsenals history at 16. The major titles, however, never came. It wasnt really the losing, it was the routine. Year after year, it was always the same story, Fabregas said. Fighting until the end only to see we didnt have the energy, in the seminals, the nals, to arrive in the nal sprint. Fabregas, a member of Spains 2008 European champions and 2010 World Cup winners, said his goal is to triumph in Barca, to add my part to make this team stronger. Fabregas trained with his new teammates later on Monday, getting his rst taste of where exactly he will t into Barcelonas talented squad, which already includes Lionel Messi, Spanish teammates Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta, and fellow newcomer Alexis Sanchez. A set starter with Arsenal, Fabregas accepts hell share playing time at Barcelona.
This is the most difcult challenge of my life, Fabregas said. When you play with great players you learn a lot. Ill work hard for the team, with humility, to earn my spot in the team and I wont stop until I do so. As a youngster, Fabregas played with Messi and defender Gerard Pique on Barcelonas youth teams. Barcelona hopes it has found the natural successor to the 31-year-old Xavi and the 27-year-old Iniesta, and a possible mentor for 20-year-old Thiago Alcantara, who should also get minutes this season in mideld. Barcelona said it paid 29 million euros ($42 million) to Arsenal, with provisions to increase the amount to 39 million euros ($56 million). Fabregas himself will pay the Gunners 1 million euros ($1.4 million) out of his salary for each season of the deal, and the Spanish champions will pay up to 5 million euros ($7 million) more depending on trophies won. The contract includes a buyout clause of 200 million euros ($286 million).

Former Cats return to campus thinking class

By Beth Rucker
Lexington, Ky. In the era of one-anddone athletes, no school has been more of a lightning rod than Kentucky under coach John Calipari. Opting for the NBA doesnt mean that all those departed Wildcats have given up on their academic careers, though. Washington Wizards point guard John Wall, Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins and Los Angeles Clippers point guard Eric Bledsoe were part of Caliparis phenomenal rst class of recruits at Kentucky who turned pro after one season. Now theyre back on campus considering using the NBA lockout as a chance to not only workout in Lexington, but take a few classes as well. I want to get my education, Bledsoe said Monday before an exhibition game against the Calipari-coached Dominican Republic national team. I want to do something I love doing
for a living because I know basketball isnt going to be there all my life. At some point Im going to have to come to a stop and find another career. More than just a few NBA players have returned to school to get John Wall their degrees. But when talking about Calipari-coached teams, the news is usually more about whos leaving: Derrick Rose and Tyreke Evans left Memphis when Calipari was coaching the Tigers; Wall and Brandon Knight did the same at Kentucky. However, Wall said graduating is still his goal. Im trying to see if I can take some classes on campus, and if the lockout ends I can nish online, he said. I wanted to be the rst
person in my family to get a college degree, although Im probably going to be the second one now. My sisters going to be a sophomore, so shes ahead of me. Nobody had an opportunity to go to college in my family. Wall, Bledsoe and Cousins arent the only academic-minded former Wildcats. Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo is considering returning to class after ve seasons in the NBA, and Philadelphia 76ers guard Jodie Meeks lacks just 12 more hours for his marketing degree after spending the past two summers attending class at Kentucky. Anytime you get an opportunity to play at the next level you should take it because you dont know how many opportunities youll have, Meeks said. I think while were still here, were focused on academics, and the majority of the time people come back and nish. Wall managed to squeeze in two semesters
and two summers worth of classes in his lone season at Kentucky, and now hes got his eye on a business management degree. His plan for the fall semester is to take a few classes and stay in shape by working out with the Wildcats. It will just feel like the college life all over, he said. Its like Im extending it into the NBA. This time he and his former teammates wont have to worry about any school ofcials checking on their classroom attendance records or Calipari making them run if they miss class. They do have to get their minds ready for class after taking a year or more off from school. I try to do other stuff when Im off like read, but it can be hard to get into schoolmode after taking a year off, Meeks said. Its not too bad. Its just a little challenging, but you kind of gure that because its school, but I just want to nish.
Crosby still feeling concussion symptoms

By Will Graves
PITTSBURGH Sidney Crosbys summer vacation is almost over. Still, theres no telling when the Pittsburgh Penguins star will return to work. General manager Ray Shero said Monday the former MVP is still dealing with concussion-like symptoms and its too soon to know if Crosby will be available when the Penguins open camp next month. Theres no expectation from me that he wont be ready or he will be ready, Shero said. Crosby hasnt played in a game since Jan. 5, missing the rest of the regular season and Pittsburghs rst-round playoff loss to Tampa
Bay as he slowly recovered from a concussion. He said in April he would be back for training camp, but with about a month to go before the team reports, Shero wouldnt guarantee No. 87 will be in uniform. The 24-year-old Crosby Sidney Crosby has spent the summer in Canada working out on his own. Shero doesnt anticipate Crosby returning to Pittsburgh until a week before camp begins. Crosby will undergo a thorough evaluation before hes cleared to participate in full-contact drills. He wont be pushed to come back, Shero said. Though Shero acknowledged Crosby has Sonoma, when he stalled his car under caution while leading with six laps to go and nished sixth. Busch led the eld to the green ag. But Keselowski, racing with a broken left ankle and trying for his second straight win and third of the season, dove from third to the lead entering the rst turn with Ambrose also streaking past Busch. Ambrose bumped Keselowski in the chicane and then passed him for the lead. Busch nished third, and Martin Truex Jr. was fourth.
dealt with lingering symptoms off and on over the summer they have not prevented him from shutting down his workout program. The good news is he continues to work out, hes worked out hard during the summer, Shero said. Well see where we are come training camp. Coach Dan Bylsma doesnt think the team will need to treat Crosby with kid gloves whenever hes cleared. Bylsma doesnt anticipate holding Crosby out of the preseason if his superstar has been OKd by doctors. I dont think when Sidney Crosby is healthy and ready to go, hes not going to shy away from contact, nor is he going to shy away from competition, Bylsma said. It would take quite a bit to keep him out of getting ready for the start of the regular season. Crosby was in the midst of an MVP-type
season before the injury, amassing 66 points (32 goals, 34 assists) in 41 games. He sustained hits in consecutive games in early January before being diagnosed with the concussion. He irted with returning during the playoffs before a series of setbacks kept him off the ice. Both Shero and Bylsma have been in frequent contact with Crosby since the season ended, with Shero saying most of their discussions have centered on the team, not Crosbys health. Shero senses Crosbys frustration and doesnt think setting an arbitrary deadline for his return would do anybody any good. I want him to feel good about himself, Shero said. Hell be back at some point to play hockey.

Raiders rookie CB gets rude intro to NFL

By Josh Dubow
NAPA DeMarcus Van Dyke got quite the introduction to the NFL. The rookie cornerback from Miami was lined up against Arizona superstar receiver Larry Fitzgerald on his rst series of his exhibition debut and the Cardinals went right at him. Van Dyke allowed a long completion to Fitzgerald on the rst pass his way even though he did have tight coverage. He stayed with the ve-time Pro Bowler on the next deep pass, leading to an incompletion. But the debut got progressively worse after that with Van Dyke allowing an 18-yard touchdown to Stephen Williams late in the rst half and several other completions to Arizonas less accomplished receivers. As a DB, youve got to have amnesia, Van Dyke said. You get beat one time, you cant let it keep building, that feeling. They got me. Theyre not going to beat me again. The Raiders are hoping for much steadier play this season from Van Dyke, a third-round pick out in April who could get plenty of opportunities to play against multiple receiver packages this season. Van Dyke started just three games at Miami as a senior but blossomed at the NFL combine, where he ran a 4.25 40-yard dash. Along with
the sprinter speed that made him so attractive to the Raiders, coach Hue Jackson has praised his loose hips, 6-foot-1 size and makeup as attributes that should help in man coverage. When I talk to the young man, there is no fear DeMarcus in him at all, Jackson said. Van Dyke Fitzgerald makes those plays on everybody. Ive seen him make them on the best in this league. He made one on that young man. But the young man came back and stayed with him the next time and thats what this is all about. Van Dyke received encouragement after the game from fellow former Miami cornerbacks Antrel Rolle and Sam Shields, veterans who have been through the rough transition from college to the pros. That only got harder when Van Dyke saw himself lined up against Fitzgerald as soon as he got on the eld. He stayed with Fitzgerald stride for stride on the rst pass but was outmaneuvered for the ball at the end, giving the Cardinals a 43-yard gain. Its a pretty good way to go out there and judge yourself on a guy of his caliber and see what I can get better at, he said. I just have to nish on plays, thats about it. Its something that we cant worry about. Whoever steps in there, you should be right for him. Smith, the 2005 No. 1 overall draft pick out of Utah, is still the front-runner to win the starting job though Harbaugh hasnt made him the top guy yet. In recent days, Harbaugh has called it a competition between Smith and second-round draft pick Kaepernick. Both quarterbacks had their shining moments Monday and some bumps. Roman acknowledged that bringing in another quarterback could present challenges in getting each player adequate chances in practice. The season opener is Sept. 11 at home against NFC West rival Seattle. You have a decision to make: Do you carry two quarterbacks or three? Roman said. Hes a successful player. Any successful player is worth talking to. If he can play at a high level and compete, he could bring that aspect to the competition. The 49ers moved forward Monday with the quarterbacks they do have on the roster. While Smith still took the majority of reps with the rst-team offense, Kaepernick did get
Van Dyke gets to learn the trade from a pair of Hall of Famers in assistant coaches Willie Brown and Rod Woodson. Woodson, in his rst year as a coach, compares Van Dyke to one of his former teammates in Baltimore, Duane Starks, and expects big things from his young player. Hes going to be good. Its the little things that he has to work on, Woodson said. He has to learn how to nish. Hes still learning the little things about playing corner in this league, playing the different coverages, when to do certain things, when not to do certain things. But if he keeps progressing in the positive manner like he has in the rst week or so, hell be a decent player. The question for the Raiders is how long that process will take. With All Pro Nnamdi Asomugha gone to Philadelphia in free agency, the Raiders have no experienced cornerback behind starters Stanford Routt and Chris Johnson. Oakland drafted a pair of cornerbacks a year ago in Walter McFadden and Jeremy Ware, who both struggled in limited time as rookies and have been victimized in training camp and in the exhibition opener. The Raiders also drafted Ohio State cornerback Chimdi Chekwa in the fourth round in April, but he has not been able to practice much this summer because of a shoulder injury. Arizona quarterbacks combined to go 17a handful of plays with the No. 1 unit. Smith received a congratulatory pat on the rear end from Harbaugh during one particularly good sequence of deep throws late in Mondays workout. Smith hit Joshua Morgan up the middle on a 40-yard strike, then Braylon Edwards on a 20-yard slant, followed by a 45-yard completion to Ginn arguably Smiths best stretch yet in training camp. Earlier, Harbaugh slapped hands with Smith and offered a nice job after a crisp, 10-yard connection with tight end Vernon Davis. A couple of plays later, it was, Way to stick to em, Kaeper, after Kaepernick came through with a pretty completion. The rookie later threw an interception that All-Pro linebacker Patrick Willis returned for a touchdown. Hey, touchdown! Willis cheered. Culpepper could provide guidance to both QBs and some insurance to a franchise eager to nally turn around its fortunes. San Francisco hasnt had a winning season or reached the playoffs in eight years. If X, Y and Z happens, that might free up a third quarterback spot, Roman said. If X, Y
for-27 for 297 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions at a 137.4 passer rating once the starting cornerbacks sat after the rst series. Its so blown out of proportion, Routt said. Theyre young. People are going to make mistakes. Its preseason. Everybody wants to act like if you do bad in one preseason game, you should be crucied or whatever. It is what it is, the rst preseason game. We got three more. Mistakes happen. Veterans make mistakes. The Raiders did add some help in the secondary at safety, signing Josh Bullocks and Matt Giordano. Oakland needed to make the moves with backups Hiram Eugene (dislocated hip) and Zac Etheridge (knee) getting hurt in the exhibition opener and Stevie Brown injuring his ankle at practice Sunday. Bullocks, a second-round pick by New Orleans in 2005, has six interceptions, 27 passes defensed and four forced fumbles in 90 career games with the Saints and Chicago Bears. Giordano, a fourth-round pick by Indianapolis in 2005 out of California, had three interceptions in 55 games for the Colts from 2005-08. He played as a reserve the past two seasons with Green Bay and New Orleans. Notes: Jackson gave many of the players age 30 and over a day off from practice. ... The Raiders will take Tuesday off before returning to practice Wednesday. and Z doesnt happen and R, S and T happens, then we would keep two. Lawrie appreciated Culpeppers veteran presence and humility in the UFL last season. They ran what Lawrie referred to as a hybrid version of the West Coast offense, so he sees Culpepper having no problems picking up Harbaughs playbook in a hurry if he does come on board. Hell fit right in, Lawrie said. Hes friendly, outgoing and connects well with players, which is a great asset for a quarterback. He has played for years and done a lot of great things. He knows football and thats pretty clear. It comes from taking a lot of snaps. NOTES: WR Michael Crabtree, missing his third straight training camp, was all smiles and said he is encouraged by the progress of his injured left foot. Crabtree on the physically unable to perform list was moving around without his walking boot Monday. It remains unclear whether Crabtree will be ready by Week 1. ... The 49ers waived OLB Thaddeus Gibson.

Doctors: Significant strides for Bryan Stow

By Terry Collins
SAN FRANCISCO A San Francisco Giants fan severely beaten outside Dodger Stadium has made signicant improvement despite a series of ups and downs since his near-fatal attack more than four months ago, his doctor said Monday. Bryan Stow is awake, breathing on his own, can move slightly and has been able to interact with his family, said Dr. Geoff Manley, the chief of neurosurgery at San Francisco General Hospital. However, Manley said its still unclear how far Stows recovery will take him.
His ability to follow commands has greatly increased, Manley said. There have been a lot of ups and downs and we still dont know where hes going to plateau in terms of his recovery. The paramedic from Bryan Stow Santa Cruz remains in serious condition after suffering a traumatic brain injury when he was attacked on March 31 following the Dodgers home opener against the Giants in Los Angeles. He underwent a life-saving procedure in Los Angeles and was put in a coma nilly. There is a chance they could cause serious injury, but it is part of the unwritten rules of baseball. Partial credit goes to Vogelsong, who in the ensuing inning after being hit, went high and tight on Marlins slugger Mike Stanton before striking him out. *** For years, critics have derided the sport of boxing as a joke. Most venom is reserved for clueless judges. Saturday night, the sport suffered another black eye, this time at the hands of a clueless referee. In an International Boxing Federation (IBF) bantamweight championship bout between challenger Abner Mares and champion Joseph Agbeko, Mares was given a majority decision with a big assist from referee Russell Mora, who was inept at best and at worst, on the take. I caught the last six rounds of the ght and, in that time, I saw numerous low blows landed by Mares on Agbeko. After reading reports about the entire ght, what I saw over the nal six rounds was the same thing that happened during the rst ve. Not only did Mora never warn Mares, he continually warned Agbeko for pushing down on Mares Prado. Braves players stormed out of their dugout to celebrate around Freeman near second base. Wilson was not available on Sunday at Florida due to a sore back. He said his back was ne on Monday, and Bochy agreed. He had good stuff, said Bochy of Wilson. He was ne. Weve seen him there many times. It just didnt work out. He was close to getting out of it. You have a two-run lead going into the ninth inning, you like your chances. After the game, Freeman inspected the damage from the celebration. He said a toe that was
for several weeks. He was transported to San Francisco to be closer to his family in May. Last week, Stows family said on their website that he is responding to some directions. Stow lifted his left leg when asked and raised his left arm when asked if someone could hold his hand, relatives said. The family also said that when Stows sister, Bonnie, asked if she could give him a kiss, he puckered his lips each time. Last month, doctors performed emergency surgery on the father of two to remove uid buildup in his head that caused a seizure. But Stow has responded well following surgery whenever the two were in close ghting. According to reports, there was a bogus knockdown on Agbeko in the rst round, but the ght was decided in the 11th when Mares, again, hit Agbeko with a clearly low blow that caused Agbeko to go to his knees. The referee, who was in the right position to see the low blow, instead called it a knockdown, turning the round into a 10-8 decision for Mares in a ght Mares won by a point or two on the judges scorecards. Moras job as the third man in the ring was so bad, Showtime color commentator Al Bernstein, a legend in the sport and one not prone to hyperbole, was shocked at how poorly Mora was ofciating the ght. After the decision, interviewer Jim Gray went into the ring and grilled Mora about his refereeing. Mora defended himself, but it was clear he was in the wrong. For a sport trying to stay relevant, this asco was one more strike against it. With the rise of mixed martial arts, boxing is being pushed further and further behind as a legitimate sport. Its to the point now where the only way a boxer can ensure a victory is to knock out his opponent. If they leave it in the judges and now, the referees hands, stepped on by a teammate was numb. An elbow also was sore, or at least that was his best guess. Well see in about two hours when the adrenalin rubs off, he said with a smile. Nate Schierholtz snapped a 2-2 tie with his homer to right in the sixth. Mike Fontenot, in the game when Pablo Sandoval left with a foot injury in the rst inning, added an eighth-inning homer off Tim Hudson. Cristhian Martinez (1-2) pitched a perfect ninth after Tim Hudson gave up four runs, two earned, in eight innings. Uggla had one hit, a fth-inning double, one day after the end of his 33-game hitting streak, the longest in Atlanta Braves history.
last week to replace a missing skull fragment with a prosthetic bone ap, Manley said. Doctors will determine in the next week or so whether Stow will require a shunt to permanently divert the uid, Manley added. The goal, Manley said, is to place Stow in a long-term rehab center. The doctor said Stow has come far in terms of nearly being beaten to death; being placed in a coma, opening his eyes and now following some basic commands. In the spectrum of things, hes not running down the hall and doing multi-step commands, but given where he was when he rst came here, hes significantly improved, Manley said. He still has a long way to go. anything can happen. And its not usually good. *** I turned on the broadcast of the PGA Championship Sunday and besides the fact the leaderboard was littered with no-name guys, the other thing that struck me as peculiar was the number of extremely skinny golfers. Winner Keegan Bradley along with Brandon Steele, who was in the nal pairing of the day with the much larger Jason Dufner, looked as if they should be riding in the Tour de France and not bombing monster drives on the PGA Tour. While Im sure many people did not give the nal round a chance because of the lack of names challenging for the lead, those who did change the channel missed an epic nish, with Bradley beating Dufner in a three-hole playoff after Dufner coughed up a fourstroke lead over the nal four holes. It may not have been Tiger and Phil, but it was exciting nonetheless.

year and he does have one of the best earned run averages in baseball. Maybe McKeon should learn his name at this point. It does, however, lead me to another point: when are the Giants going to protect their own? Over the last couple of years, teams have taken liberties against Giants hitters with nary a worry about retaliation. At some point, one of the Giants pitchers is going to have to man up and plunk somebody anybody just to let the rest of the league know they wont be pushovers. There was the brouhaha a couple weekends ago when Philadelphias Shane Victorino was hit by Giants reliever Ramon Ramirez, but retaliation from the Giants has been few and far between. Sure, it may result in an ejection and possible suspension. But at least it would send the message that the Giants wont be pushed around. Granted, professional baseball pitchers shouldnt go around hitting batters willy

either a two-seamer or a cutter. He said he got the two-seamer. Wilson said he had to attack with his best pitches. Im not worried about what a hitter can do, Wilson said. I pitch to my strengths. They hit them where we werent. Freeman, a rookie rst baseman, lined the 3-2 pitch over the middle to drive in Lugo and
McCann hit a rst-inning homer for Atlanta and Constanza had a run-scoring single in the second. Madison Bumgarner gave up two runs on eight hits and two walks in seven innings. The Giants scored two unearned runs without a hit off Hudson in the fourth. Bourn dropped Aubrey Huffs liner in center eld for an error. Hudson walked Schierholtz and hit Brandon Belt with a pitch to load the bases. Fly balls by Orlando Cabrera and Eli Whiteside drove in the runs. Sandoval left the game in the rst inning after fouling a ball off his right foot. X-rays were negative.

Addiction a brain disorder,not just bad behavior

By Lauran Neergaard
WASHINGTON Addiction isnt just about willpower. Its a chronic brain disease, says a new definition aimed at helping families and their doctors better understand the challenges of treating it. Addiction is about a lot more than people behaving badly, says Dr. Michael M. Miller of the American Society for Addiction Medicine. Thats true whether it involves drugs and alcohol or gambling and compulsive eating, the doctors group said Monday. And like other chronic conditions such as heart disease or diabetes, treating addiction and preventing relapse is a long-term endeavor, the specialists concluded. Addiction generally is described by its behavioral symptoms the highs, the cravings and the things people will do to achieve one and avoid the other. The new definition doesnt disagree with the standard guide for diagnosis based on those symptoms. But two decades of neuroscience have uncovered how addiction hijacks different parts of the brain, to explain what prompts those behaviors and why they can be so hard to overcome. The societys policy statement, published on its Web site, isnt a new direction as much as part of an effort to translate those findings to primary care doctors and the general public. The behavioral problem is a result of brain dysfunction, agrees Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. She welcomed the statement as a way to help her own agencys work to spur more primary care physicians to screen their patients for signs of addiction. NIDA estimates that 23 million Americans need treatment for substance abuse but only about 2 million get that help. Trying to add compassion to the brain findings, NIDA even has

made readings from Eugene ONeills Long Days Journey into Night a part of meetings where primary care doctors learn about addiction. Then theres the frustration of relapses, which doctors and families alike need to know are common for a chronic disease, Volkow says. You have family members that say, OK, youve been to a detox program, how come youre taking drugs? she says. The pathology in the brain persists for years after youve stopped taking the drug. Just what does happen in the brain? Its a complex interplay of emotional, cognitive and behavioral networks. Genetics plays a role, meaning some people are more vulnerable to an addiction if they, say, experiment with drugs as a teenager or wind up on potent prescription painkillers after an injury. Age does, too. The frontal cortex helps put the brakes on unhealthy behaviors, Volkow explains. Its where the brains reasoning side connects to emotion-related areas. Its among the last neural regions to mature, one reason that its harder for a teenager to withstand
peer pressure to experiment with drugs. Even if youre not biologically vulnerable to begin with, perhaps you try alcohol or drugs to cope with a stressful or painful environment, Volkow says. Whatever the reason, the brains reward system can change as a chemical named dopamine conditions it to rituals and routines that are linked to getting something youve found pleasurable, whether its a pack of cigarettes or a few drinks or even overeating. When someones truly addicted, that warped system keeps them going back even after the brain gets so used to the high that its no longer pleasurable. Make no mistake: Patients still must choose to fight back and treat an addiction, stresses Miller, medical director of the Herrington Recovery Center at Rogers Memorial Hospital in Oconomowoc, Wis. But understanding some of the brain reactions at the root of the problem will hopefully reduce some of the shame about some of these issues, hopefully reduce stigma, he says. And while most of the neuroscience centers on drug and alcohol addiction, the society notes that its possible to become addicted to gambling, sex or food although theres no good data on how often that happens. Its time for better study to find out, Miller says. Meanwhile, Volkow says intriguing research is under way to use those brain findings to develop better treatments not just to temporarily block an addicts high but to strengthen the underlying brain circuitry to fend off relapse. Topping Millers wish list: Learning why some people find recovery easier and faster than others, and what does brain healing look like.

Autism risks for siblings are higher than thought

By Lindsey Tanner
The autism in siblings study should prompt families and their childrens doctors to be vigilant with infants whose older siblings have autism. Early diagnosis is important because experts say behavioral treatment has the best chance of working if started early.
CHICAGO A new study suggests nearly one in ve children with an autistic older sibling will develop the disorder too a rate much higher than previously thought. Researchers followed 664 infants who had at least one older brother or sister with autism. Overall, 132 infants or about 19 percent ended up with an autism diagnosis, too, by their third birthdays. Previous smaller or less diverse studies reported a prevalence of between 3 percent and 14 percent. We were all a bit surprised and taken aback about how high it is, said lead author Sally Ozonoff, a psychiatry and behavioral sciences professor with the Mind Institute at the University of California at Davis. The highest rates were in infants who had at least two older siblings with autism 32 percent of them also developed autism. Also, among boys with autistic siblings 26 percent developed autism versus 9 percent of girls. Autism is already known to be more common in boys. The study involved 12 U.S. and Canadian sites and was published online Monday in Pediatrics. Earlier studies were more local or involved fewer sites. Ozonoff said parents of autistic children often ask her, How likely am I to have another child with autism? She said her study provides a more up-to-date answer. However, Ozonoff noted that 80 percent of
siblings studied did not develop autism, and that the prevalence rate was an average. It may be different for each family, depending on other risk factors they may face. Autism has no known cause but experts believe that genetics and external inuences are involved. Research is examining whether these could include infections, pollution and other non-inherited problems. Ozonoff noted that siblings often are exposed to similar outside inuences, which could partly explain the study results. Infants in the study were enrolled before they showed any signs of autism, such as poor eye contact and little social interaction. The study is an important addition to autism research and has critical implications for families who are deciding whether theyll have another child, said Catherine Lord, director of the Institute for Brain Development at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. Lord was not involved in the study. Kathleen Lanese of Kings Park, N.Y., says having one son with autism didnt make her think twice about trying to have another child, even though she knew there was a chance the second would be affected, too. We wanted another child and we were going to take whoever we got, said Lanese, who was not involved in the study. Still, when her younger son was a baby, she says she watched him like a hawk for autism signs. He was diagnosed with autism at 16 months, earlier than her older boy. Sixty percent of those polled supported at tax rate of $19 per the $100,000 of a propertys assessed value. Support increased to 64 percent when the rate dropped to $14. Any measure can be pulled before Wednesdays nal ling deadline, said county Elections Manager David Tom. There will be some cost for work done for the district so far, Tom said, but that will be minimal since the district has a contested race for the Board of Trustees.

Do-it-yourself battlefield medicine saves lives

By Lindsey Tanner
CHICAGO When Army Ranger Leroy Petrys hand was blown off by a grenade as he was saving his comrades in battle, he knew just what to do. He used his remaining hand to twist a tourniquet around his arm to avoid bleeding to death. Sgt. 1st Class Petry, awarded the Medal of Honor last month, was with a regiment trained in do-ityourself battleeld treatment. That kind of quick care on the eld led to a 92 percent survival rate for the regiment over more than seven years, a study found. Of the 32 deaths, just one had wounds considered potentially survivable, in this case massive bleeding. That Ranger died from postsurgery complications. The study found a 3 percent death rate from potentially survivable causes in the 75th Regiment between October 2001 and April 2010. That compares with a 24 percent rate in a previously reported set of U.S. military deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan, which included troops who didnt have the Ranger-style training, the study authors said. Petry is a prime example of how this works, said lead author Dr. Russ Kotwal of the Special Operations Command at Fort Bragg, N.C. President Barack Obama awarded Petry his medal in a ceremony where he shook the Rangers new robotic hand. Historically, about 90 percent of combat-related deaths have occurred in the eld, before troops reached a medical facility. Mindful of that, the Rangers adopted a new approach more than a decade ago,

focusing on certain types of injuries, after a review of casualties in previous wars. The idea is straightforward: There arent enough doctors or medics to treat battleeld wounds, so Rangers must be equipped with their own rst aid devices and trained to use them. If you cant do it to yourself, then you grab somebody to do it for you, Kotwal said. The study, published Monday in Archives of Surgery, details the Rangers approach, which also has been adopted in some other parts of the military. The Rangers are part of the Armys Special Operations Command. They undergo training over a couple of days in how to treat battleeld wounds. The focus is immediately treating the three main types of potentially survivable injuries: extreme bleeding from arms or legs, collapsed lungs from chest trauma, and airway blockage, including blood or tissue caught in the throat. Soldiers are equipped with tourniquets, special wound dressings and needles used to treat major chest injuries. Their medical training is considered as important as shooting, said Dr. John Holcomb, the studys senior author.
To really inculcate this training and mentality into the entire regiment takes a couple of years, Holcomb said. Master Sgt. Harold Montgomery, a medic, said hes an absolute believer in the approach. He said he has seen non-medics administer treatment without qualms. The one time you see them ustered is treating severe chest wounds, which can cause air to ll the chest cavity and collapse the lungs. Treatment is sticking a big needle into somebodys chest to deate the air build-up. It can quickly save a life, but non-medics sometimes seek assurance from more medically experienced comrades about when its really needed, Montgomery said. Causes of injuries and deaths examined in the study included explosive devices and gunshot wounds, which accounted for half of the deaths. Most battleeld treatment focused on controlling bleeding and non-medical personnel applied 42 percent of the tourniquets. The approach studied teaches soldiers to take a deep breath in the middle of combat and fall back on a basic set of concepts and maneuvers shown by this study to increase survival of those wounded, said Dr. Todd Rasmussen, an Air Force surgeon who is the deputy commander of the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research in San Antonio, Texas. It is being adopted in some military settings and by police in nonmilitary settings, to overcome the chaos of these types of events, whether it is an explosion on the battleeld or a live shooter at a mall, Rasmussen said. He was not involved in the study.

for good government in Bell so it will be attractive to whoever the city hires as its next permanent city manager. Bell is considered to be one of the poorest cities in Los Angeles County but paid its part-time council members about $100,000 a year each. The former police chiefs salary was $457,000 a year in Bell, a city with a population of about 36,000 people. Rizzo led Bell for 18 years, the same number of years Croce led San Mateo. Bell Mayor Ali Saleh told the Daily Journal yesterday he expects Croce to provide great leadership in the city. Im looking forward to him providing guidance and mentorship to employees at City Hall who have gone through so much through the previous administration. Saleh said. Bell is a working-class community, Saleh said, that needs someone with experience to move past all the turmoil. Croce, 60, was hired in San Mateo in 1990 after serving as the Los Altos city manager for six years. In San Mateo, Croce was the citys top ofcial as it revitalized downtown and moved toward building transit-oriented, high-density housing at Bay Meadows. San Mateo Councilman John Lee called Croce the best man for the job yesterday. He is going to get that city back on its feet. He is an outstanding candidate, Lee said. Lee called Rizzo and other Bell ofcials despicable for their actions. What they did was a terrible thing. Someone should be put in jail. That city put a black cloud over government in this state, he said. Croce is still a young man, Lee said, and can use the challenge. Croce said the Bell scandal did scar city management across the state and hopes to restore some integrity to the profession. San Mateo Mayor Jack Matthews said Croce is a big believer in transparency and getting public input. He will bring a level of professionalism to the city it was obviously lacking, Matthews said. The makeup of Bells city ofcials has changed dramatically since the scandal broke last year and it now has a new mayor in Saleh, who said he looks forward to moving the city out of Rizzos shadow after announcing Croce was appointed to the job. Under Croces leadership, San Mateo nanced and built a new public library, renovated and built re stations, completed plans to build a new police station, rebuilt the municipal golf course and dealt with the seven-year process to redevelop the Bay Meadows race track into housing, commercial and retail uses.

CROCE
$5.5 million in public funds. We had the worst city manager in the whole nation and now we will have one of the best, said Bell Councilwoman Violeta Alvarez. We are hoping he will help take us from the bottom to the top. Rizzos salary at the time of his arrest was $787,637. Croces salary will be much less at $3,230 a week. He will also receive no benets and is expected to ll the position for up to nine months as the city seeks a permanent city manager. He starts Aug. 22. Ten days ago I didnt even know the opportunity existed, Croce told the Daily Journal yesterday. He was urged to apply for the position by some of his former colleagues in city government, he said. He interviewed with Bells City Council Wednesday and was offered the job shortly after, he said. Bell ousted its ve council members in a recall election in March. After meeting the new mayor and council and [seeing] their commitment to recapture the city, I felt like it was a good opportunity, Croce said. They are looking for an ethical, effective and professional city government. Croce is looking to build a foundation
TESTS
We have more work to do to make sure every student receives the worldclass education he or she deserves and has the opportunity to achieve their dreams and contribute to the success of our state, state Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson said in a prepared statement. Im committed to that effort and to working with Californias leaders to provide our schools and our communities with the resources they need. Gary Waddell, associate superintendent of instructional services for the San Mateo County Ofce of Education, was pleased to note students locally performed better than statewide scores no small accomplishment given the current nancial challenges, he said. Their success in the face of these challenges is evidence of the commitment to excellence of educators in San Mateo County. While we are pleased with our students performance on the STAR, we continue to be concerned about the gap in achievement between our highest and lowest performing groups of students and consider the elimination of this gap a critical yardstick of our success, he said. Statewide, the growth in achievement by Hispanic and black students compared to white and Asian students grew
How they rank

California Standards Tests were completely aligned to state standards nine years ago.During that time,the goal for all students was to score procient or above on the various subjects. Below are the percentage of students to meet that requirement statewide, rst number, followed by in San Mateo County. English-language arts 54.4 / 62.9 Mathematics 50.3 / 57.7 History 47.7 / 58.4 Science 50.3 / 56.2 Source:California Department of Education
slightly over the last nine years. But a large gap remains. Take fourth-grade English for example. Countywide, 64 percent of students are procient or better. A majority of white, 89 percent, and Asian, 86 percent, fourth-grade students are procient or advanced in English. Black students fared much lower at 56 percent, followed by Hispanic students with 53 percent. Scores denoting an understanding of English was the highest in fourth grade countywide, as well as in three of the four ethnic groups. Asian students in fth grade fared better than their fourth grade counterparts with 87 percent at procient or advanced. Math numbers show a similar picture. for teen drivers who violate the law. Drivers under 18 are prevented from using any devices, hands-free or not, under Senate Bill 33, which Simitian also authored. SB 28 will allow the state to now qualify for federal funding on distracted driving. Since the hands-free law went into effect three years ago, fatal trafc accidents and collisions have dropped significantly in the state, Simitian said. Weve seen good results but we need more compliance, Simitian said. Driver distractions are the leading cause of most vehicle crashes, according to the National Highway Trafc Safety Administration. Since Simitians law went into effect, statistics compiled by the state indicate there were 700 fewer fatalities on the roads the rst year after the law went into effect and a 20 percent reduction in trafc collisions. It is worth saving lives, Simitian
In recent years, there has been an push statewide to introduce algebra to students earlier. In San Mateo County, 64.9 percent of eighth graders are enrolled, compared to 59.1 percent statewide. While far from perfect, the results show a large increase from 2002 when only 27 percent of local eighth graders were enrolled in algebra. In California, 47 percent of eighth graders scored procient or better in algebra this year. That number rises to 53 percent in San Mateo County. When broken down by ethnic group, there is a different story. Seventyve percent of Asian and 65 percent of white eighth graders scored at procient or better. Black and Latino students, on the other hand, scored 33 percent and 35 percent respectively little to no difference from last years score. Standardized tests are used to determine a students understanding for each grade level or course in accordance with the California Academic Content Standards. Test scores are used to determine if the students performance is advanced, procient, basic, below basic or far below basic. Californias target is for all students to score at the procient or advanced levels. For county, district or individual school scores visit http://star.cde.ca.gov/.

hands-free law. Bicyclists also have to abide by the rules of the road, Simitian said. Currently, the ne for a rst offense for violating the hands-free law is $20 and $50 for the second offense. The new nes will be $50 for the rst offense and $100 for the second. The ne is relatively modest compared to other trafc nes, Simitian said yesterday. With penalties and fees, the total cost for a rst offense would go up from about $189 to $309, depending on the county. Part of the fee increase will go toward a fund for distracted-driver education through the state Ofce of Trafc Safety. SB 28 also makes it a primary offense
said. Research by the AAA Automobile Club of Southern California and the states Ofce of Trafc Safety suggest a 60 percent to 70 percent compliance rate with the states hands-free driving law. Stiffer nes and penalties have the potential to improve compliance with the law and make the public safer, Simitian said. The bill has the support of the San Mateo Police Department, said Police Chief Susan Manheimer. It is clear that a major portion of the injury accidents occurring on our roads are related to distracted driving. SMPD is in favor of any measures that would strengthen the impact of our battle against distracted driving, and make our streets and communities safer, she wrote in an email to the Daily Journal.
