SMALLER MEMORIALS ON SEPT. 11 ANNIVERSARY
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A Jordanian man working at United Parcel
Services  San  Bruno  hub  was  discriminated
by coworkers as a terrorist who might blow
up  the  building  and  involuntarily  transferred
after  reporting  the  harassment  that  included
assaults with rocks and bottles, according to a
lawsuit led on his behalf.
The  suit  filed  by  the  U.S.  Equal
Employment  Opportunity  Commission  on
Tuesday charges the global shipping company
with  violating  federal  law  by  allowing  dis-
crimination  of  Talal  Alfaour  and  illegally
retaliated  against  him  after  he  reported  the
behavior to the company and his union.
Alfaour  faced  egregious  and  intolerable
harassment at  UPS  but  remains  employed
there in hopes of remedying the situation, said
William  Tamayo, regional  attorney  for  the
EEOC  in  San  Francisco, in  a  prepared
announcement of the ling.
That  remedy  includes  monetary  damages
on behalf of Alfaour, training on anti-discrim-
ination  laws  and  posting  anti-discrimination
notices at the work site.
Alfaour, who is Muslim, joined UPS in the
South  San  Francisco  center  in  1995  as  a
loader  and  revenue  worker.  Since  at  least
2004, Alfaour  was  physically  and  verbally
assaulted  by  coworkers  and  supervisors  who
called  him  Dr.  Bomb, Al-Qaida and
Taliban, according to the EOCC.
Alfaour reported that a supervisor told him
he could never work with hazardous materials
because you are a terrorist and you are going
to blow up the building. The suit also states

MICHELLE DURAND/DAILY JOURNAL
Opponents of a proposed new jail in San Mateo County expressed their concern over plans during the public comment
period of the Board of Supervisors meeting yesterday morning.
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Ongoing  site  preparation  for  a  new
San Mateo County jail hasnt dampened
opponents  who  again  gathered  at  the
Board  of  Supervisors  meeting  to
demand they focus on rehabilitation and
programming rather than a new incarcer-
ation facility.
The  standing-room  group, a  mixture
of  several  organized  groups  and  some
individuals  who  hoisted  signs, said  the
supervisors risk their political careers by
continuing  forward  with  the  jail  and
demanded  they  rethink  $44  million  in
planning  funds  at  the  Sept.  25  county
budget hearing. By turns for nearly two
hours, the  opponents  also  knocked  the
jail  plan  as  a  way  to  incarcerate  more
minorities who can be used as free labor,
generate federal money and avoid strate-
gizing ways to cut recidivism. 
This  is  the  agenda  of  the  1  percent,
said  Sandy  Sanders  who  said  money
spent on jails is money that wont go for
more important needs, like schools.
The  crowd  has  made  similar
entreaties, often when the issue is on the
board  agenda, and  is  undaunted  by  the
county not heeding its demands.
Were  going  to  keep  coming  back
until you stop the jail, said Emily Harris
of Californians United for a Responsible
Budget.
Harris suggested the county follow the
example of Contra Costa County which
decided not to go forward with a jail.
The county signed off on a new incar-
ceration facility on the former Chemical

City delays vote
on school move
Residents argue merits of Crystal Springs
Uplands Schools plan to expand in Belmont
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Belmont City Council listened for hours last night as to
why it should or should not allow a private school to expand
on land that is currently occupied by a vacant ofce building.
After  hearing  multiple  reports  related  to  trafc, noise, eco-
nomic benets and the environment related to Crystal Springs
Uplands  Schools  desire  to  build  a  new  middle  school  on
Davis Drive, the council then heard from about 40 members of
the public on the issue. Many people expressed opposition to
the project based on a problem the city already has  bad traf-
c conditions on Ralston Avenue.
The  council  listened  so  long, however, it  decided  not  to
make  a  decision  on  the  matter  last  night  but  voted  instead  to
table  the  public  hearing  until  its  Oct.  9  meeting, giving  it
another month to weigh the merits of the plan.
Many  residents  said  the  school  would  make  trafc  on
Ralston  even  worse  despite  multiple  trafc  studies  that  indi-
cate otherwise.
The term eminent domain was even brought up as the school
has indicated it would be willing to build a right-hand turn lane

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A  92-year-old  Washington  state  woman  is
suing  Burlingame-based  Splendid  Products
which  distributed  salmonella-contaminated
mangoes  that  she  claims  left  her  hospitalized
for weeks.
The  suit  on  behalf  of  Dorothy  Pearce, of
Stanwood, Wash., holds  Splendid  liable  for
distributing  Daniella  mangoes  identied  by
the Center for Disease Control and Prevention
as  the  source  of  a  nationwide  outbreak  last
month. 
According to the personal injury suit led in
western  district  court, Pearce  ate  a  Daniella
mango and fell ill Aug. 20. For two days, her
symptoms  included  nausea, vomiting, diar-
rhea and severe stomach cramping that led to
her  hospitalization.  Lab  tests  conrmed  sal-
monella Braenderup and, as of Sept. 5, Pearce
was  still  hospitalized, according  to  her
attorney William D. Marler. 
The  suit  claims  Pears
suffered  severe  physi-
cal  and  emotional
injuries  and  sub-
stantial econom-
ic loss. 
S p l e n d i d
Products  did
not respond to
an inquiry for
comment.
Marler  said
to  date  the
contamination
has  sickened
204 people in the
United States and 21
in Canada. 
The  up  to  1  million  recalled  man-
goes  were  packed  in  Mexico
and  distributed  by
Splendid  Products
between  July  12
and  Aug.  29.
The  Mexican
manufacturer and
producer  of  the
mangoes  has  yet

suit.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN  FRANCISCO    A  federal
appeals  court  blocked
implementation  of  San
Franciscos  cellphone
radiation  warning  law
pending  the  outcome  of  an
industry challenge.
The  ordinance,
believed to be the rst of
its  kind  in  the  nation,
requires  cellphone  dealers
to  tell  customers  the  devices
may  expose  them  to  cancer-
causing radiation levels.
It  was  scheduled  to  take
effect last October but it has
been on hold because of court challenges.
The  9th  U.S.  Circuit  Court  of  Appeals  on
Monday  barred  enforcement  while
the  case  continues.  In  its  brief,
unpublished  opinion, the  court
reversed  a  trial  court  judge  who
said  the  city  could
compel  cellphone
companies  to  dis-
tribute  a  fact
sheet because
its  Board  of
Supervisors  concluded
there is debate in the scien-
tic  community  about  the
health  effects  of  cell-
phones.
The ordinance requires retailers to give cell-
phone  buyers  a  fact  sheet  saying  the  World
Health  Organization  classifies  cellphone
radio-frequency  emissions  as  possible  car-
cinogens.
The  cellphone  industrys  lobbying  group
led  a  lawsuit  in  2010  seeking  to  invalidate
the citys ordinance. The industry claims that
the citys requirements go beyond disclosures
that  are  purely  factual  and  uncontroversial
and  stray  into  disputed  views  of  cellphones.
The  disclosures  would  advise  consumers  on
what  to  do  if  they  want  to  reduce  cellphone
emissions.
This language could prove to be interpret-
ed  by  consumers  as  expressing  San
Franciscos  opinion  that  using  cellphones  is
dangerous, the three judges concluded in the
unsigned ruling.

Gas prices stabilizing after record highs
Motorists  in  Northern  California  are  seeing  a  slowdown  in
the  rise  in  gas  prices  after  a  month  of  volatility  at  the  pump,
according  to  AAA  Northern  California, which  tracks  gas
prices as a service to consumers. 
In San Mateo, AAA reports the average price for a gallon of
gas is up ve cents to $4.24. Californias average for a gallon
of regular, unleaded gasoline is $4.17, up seven cents since last
months  AAA  report  Aug.  14.  Thats  22  cents  more  than
Californias average price on this date last year. Among all 50
states, California has the second highest state average price for
regular, unleaded gasoline. Hawaii is rst at $4.37, according
to AAA.
Northern California gas prices are now averaging $4.18, up
eight  cents  from  last  month.  In  the  San  Francisco  Bay Area,
motorists can expect to pay an average price of $4.25, which
is a seven-cent increase. The national average price of $3.84 is
up by 14 cents, which is 18 cents more than the national price
on this date last year, when it was $3.66, according to AAA.
Conicting  economic  factors  last  week  resulted  in  little
change in oil prices. Continued bearish economic news, both
domestically and internationally, pressured prices lower, while
tight supplies and rumors of a potential third round of quanti-
tative easing by the Federal Reserve, designed to stimulate the
U.S. economy, pressured prices higher, according to AAA.
Man pleads not guilty to touching child in store
A  man  charged  with  touching  the  buttocks  of  a  6-year-old
girl  shopping  with  her  family  at  a  San  Bruno  Target  store
pleaded  not  guilty  to  committing  a  lewd
act on a child.
Police  arrested  Glenn  Albrecht, 39, on

LOS  ANGELES    Californias  com-
munity colleges are reorienting their regis-
tration system to give priority to students
who  are  focused  on  earning  a  degree  or
transferring to a four-year college.
The governing board of the 112-college
system  on  Monday  voted  in  favor  of  the
plan, which will go into effect in 2014.
Under the system, students in good aca-
demic  standing  who  have  not  exceeded
100 units will be given priority to register
for classes.
The  policy  comes  as  colleges  are  cut-
ting  class  offerings  due  to  budget  reduc-
tions and students are nding it hard to get
courses they need to complete their asso-
ciates degrees  and  either  start  their
careers  to  transfer  to  earn  a  bachelors
degree.
It  marks  a  shift  in  the  orientation  of
community  colleges, which  have  histori-
cally  been  places  where  failing  students
could  repeat  courses  or  community  resi-
dents could easily take courses for person-
al enrichment.

Gov.  Jerry  Brown  was  at  Oracle
Headquarters  in  Redwood  Shores
Tuesday morning to sign legislation cre-
ating  a  new  department  that  aims  to
strengthen  economic  ties  with  foreign
trading partners.
Assembly  Bill  2012  designates  the
Governors  Office  of  Business  and
Economic Development  or GO-Biz
 as a central ofce of contact for eco-
nomic  development  between  businesses
in California and other countries, such as
China, Mexico and South Korea. 
The  bill  paves  the  way  for  California
to  ofcially  welcome  visiting  delega-
tions  and  re-open  the  states  foreign
trade ofces in key trading countries that
had  to  be  closed  in  2003  due  to  budget
cutbacks.
Bill  Wunderman,
CEO  of  the  business
advocate  group  Bay
Area Council, said at
Tuesday  mornings
signing  ceremony
that  the  new  GO-Biz
office  will  partner
with  private
California  firms
wishing  to  bolster
relations  with  foreign  trading  partners,
and  help  a  variety  of  businesses  in  the
state form important economic ties with
Pacic Rim nations.
This  bill  shows  that  California  is
open for business, Wunderman said.
Wunderman  said  that  California
has  the  ninth  largest  economy  in  the
world, and  added  that  strengthening
business  ties  with  countries  enjoying
strong  positive  growth  like  China
would  help  stimulate  the  states  eco-
nomic growth as well.
Chinas  economy  is  growing  and
growing, Wunderman said. It would be
so wonderful to grow together.
Assembly Speaker John Perez  one
of AB  2012s  sponsors    said  that  the
newly  established  GO-Biz  ofce  will
offer  a  one-stop  shop for  California
businesses  wanting  to  foster  relation-
ships with overseas entities.
This  is  progress, this  is  economic
development, Perez said. This is what
the  business  community  in  California
has been waiting to enjoy.
Gov.  Brown  said  that  California  is
embedded  in  the  world  economy, and
that  the  bold  move  to  re-open  foreign
trade ofces and encourage international
trade and investment will ultimately help
California  move  from  economic  recov-
ery to economic prosperity.
Were  making  progress, folks. Were
making progress, Brown said.

  The  Redwood  City  Council
approved  a  controversial  plan  for  a
nine-home  subdivision  on  Finger
Avenue  after  moving  the  houses  on
three  parcels  away  from  the  street
and the top of the creek bank, as rec-
ommended by city staff. The propos-
al calls for demolishing six existing homes at 50, 80 and 88
Finger Ave.  and  replacing  them  with  nine  houses  and  a  U-
shaped private road on the 1.69-acre site. The developer and
opposing  residents  are  also  working  on  an  acquisition  deal
for some of the property. 
  The  Foster  City  Council voted  4-1  Monday  night  to
approve  the  sale  of  an  11-acre  city-owned  property  to  the
North Peninsula Jewish Campus for $20 million. The land
is adjacent to City Hall. Mayor Art Kiesel voted against the
land sale.

WASHINGTON    Both  parties  are
using  a  brief  pre-election  session  of
Congress to make campaign appeals to
returning veterans. 
Senate  Democrats  are  pushing
President Barack Obamas proposed $1
billion  Veterans  Jobs  Corps  to  relieve
high unemployment among servicemen
and  women  returning  from  Iraq  and
Afghanistan.  House  Republicans  are
pushing a bill making it a crime to ben-
efit  from  lying  about  military  services
or awards.
Lawmakers  in  both  parties  agreed
this week to come up with more money
to  help  the  Veterans  Administration
reduce a disability claims backlog.
Obama proposed a job corps for vet-
erans  last  February  that  would  put
place  them  in  jobs  restoring  public
lands  and  beefing  up  local  police  and
fire  departments.  It  cleared  a  prelimi-
nary  test  vote  Tuesday, as  was  expect-
ed, but aides said progress could easily
unravel  as  lawmakers  negotiate  what
amendments  and  how  many  of  them
will be allowed.
Although  the  legislation  is  not
expected to become law this session, it
gives  lawmakers  a  chance  to  display
their  support  for  the  nations  21  mil-
lion-plus  veterans  before  Congress
adjourns for the campaign season. 
The  unemployment  rate  for  veterans
of Iraq and Afghanistan has been trend-
ing  lower  in  recent  months, but  hit  a
bump  last  month.  Joblessness  among
them  was  nearly  11  percent  in August
compared, compared  with  an  8.1  per-
cent jobless rate nationwide.
Sen.  Bill  Nelson  of  Florida  said  the
problem is likely to grow as troops are
withdrawn from Afghanistan. 
For  the  troops, when  they  come
home, the  fight  is  not  over.  Theres
another fight when they get back home
to  America, said  Nelson, the  bills
lead sponsor who is in a tough re-elec-
tion contest. We need to give them as
many  opportunities  as  possible  to  suc-
ceed when they get back home here in
America.

Ruth Lise Locatelli (Harmegnies) died
Sept.  9, 2012  after  a  short  battle  with

Born in 1936 in Canada, Ruth was the
oldest of ve children. She received her
nursing degree before marrying her hus-
band  of  53  years, Tarcisio, and  relocat-
ing to California in 1959. She was a reg-
istered nurse and provided loving care to
obstetrical  patients  at  Sequoia  Hospital
in Redwood City and Mercy San Juan in
Carmichael.
Ruth  raised  two  daughters  (Julia
Locatelli  and  Annalise  Locatelli
OConnor), and
loved  her  three
grandchildren  (Jason
Varni, Marissa  Varni
and  Nicholas
OConnor).  
Ruth  and  her  hus-
band moved to Grass
Valley  in  1983.  She
volunteered  for  the

eling, cooking, shopping, attending
retired nurses luncheons and gardening,
especially multiplying geraniums.
She  is  survived  by  her  husband, two
daughters, son-in-law  (Brian
OConnor), three  grandchildren, two
brothers and one sister.
In lieu of owers, memorial gifts may
be made to the Interfaith Food Ministry,

NEW  YORK    After  weeks  of
speculation, anticipation and a dose
of hype, Apple is widely expected to
announce  a  new  smartphone  at  an
event  in  San  Francisco  on
Wednesday.
Apple isnt saying anything about
the topic of the event, but the email
invitation  it  sent  to  reporters  con-
tains a shadow in the shape of a 5
 a nod to the iPhone 5. It is being
held  in  San  Francisco  at  Yerba
Buena  Center  for  the  Arts  Theater,
where Apple has held many product
launches.
The  new  model  is  expected  to
work with fourth-generation, or 4G,
cellular networks. That capability is
something  Samsungs  Galaxy  S  III
and  many  other  iPhone  rivals
already  have.  A  bigger  iPhone
screen  is  also  possible.  The  new
model  will  likely  go  on  sale  in  a
week or two.
Apple Inc. also plans to update its
phone  software  this  fall  and  will
ditch Google Inc.s mapping service
for its own, as a rivalry between the
two companies intensies.
In a related development, Google
said  Tuesday  that  it  is  releasing  a
new  YouTube  app  for  the  iPhone
and  the  iPad.  The  changes  come
amid  the  expiration  of  a  ve-year
licensing  agreement  that  had  estab-
lished YouTube as one of the built-in
applications  in  Apples  mobile
devices.
Still  unknown  is  whether  Apple
will  announce  a  smaller  version  of
its iPad on Wednesday.
Apple  dominates  the  market  for
tablet computers, shipping seven out
of every 10 tablets worldwide in the
second  quarter, according  to
research  rm  IHS  iSuppli.  Rivals
have been trying to compete by pro-
ducing  smaller, cheaper  models  
such  as  Amazons  Kindle  Fire.  A
mini  iPad  would  challenge  those
relative newcomers.
Sales  of Apples  iPhones  are  still
strong, though the company lost the
lead in smartphones to Samsung this
year. Samsung Electronics Co. ben-
eted  from  having  its  Galaxy  S  III
out in the U.S. in June, while Apple
was  still  selling  an  iPhone  model  it
released last October. A new iPhone
will  allow  Apple  to  recapture  the
attention and the revenue.

Every parent,aunt and uncle knows that no toy
in the history of toys has ever been as appealing
to a kid as an iPhone.They are shiny, they have
games and grown-ups use them for important
things. More importantly, they are either off-
limits or doled out in limited quantities as a
reward for,say,sitting still for a minute.Load up
your old iPhone with games and give it to a
deserving child in your life.

Alternately,if a Luddite adult has been thinking
of  taking  the  plunge  into  the  world  of

or 4S, you might also nd someone whos still
hanging on to an earlier model and give them
the gift of an upgrade.You may just buy a friend

with phone recyclers and sell your donated

will take your gently usedphone and sell it to
recycling company ReCellular. It will then use
the proceeds to buy calling cards for soldiers.
The  National  Coalition  Against  Domestic

in a similar manner. About 60 percent of the
phones it collects are refurbished and resold.
The  money  goes  toward  supporting  the
coalition. The  remaining  40  percent  of  the
phones are recycled, according to the groups

WASHINGTON   It sounds like
good  news: Annual  premiums  for
job-based  family  health  plans  went
up only 4 percent this year.
But  hang  on  to  your  wallets.
Premiums  averaged  $15,745, with
employees paying more than $4,300
of  that, a  glaring  reminder  that  the
nations  problem  of  unaffordable
medical care is anything but solved.
The  annual  employer  survey
released  Tuesday  by  two  major
research  groups  also  highlighted
another disturbing trend: employees
at  companies  with  many  low-wage
workers  pay  more  money  for
skimpier  insurance  than  what  their
counterparts at upscale rms get.
Overall, its  historically  a  very
moderate  increase  in  premiums,
said  Drew Altman, president  of  the
Kaiser  Family  Foundation, which
conducted  the  survey  with  the
Health  Research  &  Educational
Trust.
He  quickly  added: But  even  a
moderate increase feels really big to
workers when their wages are at or
falling. The rise in premiums easily
outpaced  workers raises  and  ina-
tion.
Following a 9-percent hike in pre-
miums  last  year, the  2012  increase
quickly became fodder for the polit-
ical  debate.  Republicans  said
President Barack Obamas promises
to control health care costs ring hol-
low in light of the ndings.
But the most signicant cost-con-
trol  measures  in  Obamas  law  have
yet to take effect, and the presidents
big  push  to  cover  the  uninsured
doesnt  start  until  2014.  Those
measures  include  a  new  tax  on  the
most expensive insurance plans and
a  powerful  board  to  keep  Medicare
spending manageable. 
Trying  to  head  off  critics, the
administration  issued  a  report  esti-
mating  that  consumers  have  saved
$2  billion  as  a  result  of  the  health
care  law.  Thats  due  to  a  combina-
tion  of  insurance  rebates  for
employers  and  individual  policy
holders, as well as closer state over-
sight  of  proposed  rate  increases,
facilitated by Obamas law.
Still, the Kaiser survey shows pre-
miums  for  job-based  family  cover-
age  rose  by  nearly  $2,400  since
2009 when Obama took ofce, with
a  corresponding  increase  of  nearly
$800 for employee-only coverage.
We  arent  happy  to  see  any
increase  in  health  insurance  premi-
ums, said Gary Cohen, head of the
administrations  Center  for
Consumer  Information  and
Insurance  Oversight, adding  that
ofcials are heartened it was only
a modest rise this year and look for-
ward  to  slowing  costs  as  more  pro-
visions  of  the  health  care  law  take
effect.
Most independent experts say the
fact that premiums keep rising faster
than overall ination reects under-
lying problems with the health care
system  that  have  frustrated  policy-
makers  of  both  parties  for  years, as
well as corporate benet managers.

LAHORE, Pakistan    Factory
fires  in  two  of  Pakistans  major
cities  killed  45  people  and  injured
dozens  more  on Tuesday, including
some  who  had  to  break  through
barred  windows  and  leap  to  the
ground  to  escape  the  ames, said
ofcials and survivors.
Workers recounted how their col-
leagues  were  trapped  behind
blocked  exits, and  reghters  said
that one reason why the blazes were
so  deadly  is  that  the  buildings    a
shoe  factory  in  the  eastern  city  of
Lahore and a garment factory in the
southern  port  of  Karachi  lacked
clear escape routes.
Such  safety  issues  are  common
through  Pakistan, where  buildings
also lack emergency equipment like
alarms and sprinklers and municipal
rules are rarely enforced. 
The  re  that  swept  through  the
four-story  shoe  factory  in  Lahore
killed  25  people, some  from  burns
and  some  from  suffocation, said
senior  police  ofcer  Multan  Khan.
The factory was illegally set up in a
residential part of the city.
It  broke  out  when  people  in  the
building  were  trying  to  start  their
generator  after  the  electricity  went
out. Sparks from the generator made
contact  with  chemicals  used  to
make  the  shoes, igniting  the  blaze.
Pakistan  faces  widespread  black-
outs, and  many  people  use  genera-
tors  to  provide  electricity  for  their
houses or to run businesses.

WASHINGTON     The  massive
teachers strike  in  Chicago  offers  a
high-profile  test  for  the  nations
teachers unions, which  have  seen
their political inuence threatened as
a  growing  reform  movement  seeks
to improve ailing public schools.
The  reforms  include  expanding
charter schools, getting private com-
panies involved with failing schools
and  linking  teacher  evaluations  to
student test scores.
Union  leaders  are  taking  a  major
stand on teacher evaluations, one of
the  key  issues  in  the  Chicago  dis-
pute. If they lose there, it could have
ripple effects around the country.
The  American  Federation  of
Teachers and the National Education
Association    the  nations  two
largest  teachers unions    have
been playing defense in jurisdictions
around  the  country  as  Republicans
and  Democrats  alike  seek  greater
concessions in a bid to improve ail-
ing public schools.
After  decades  of  growth  in  mem-
bership  and  inuence, the  unions
now  are  in  a  weaker  position, said
Rick  Hess  of  the  American
Enterprise  Institute, a  nonpartisan
think tank.
They are playing on more hostile
terrain and they are facing opponents
the likes of which they have not had
to face before, Hess said.

I particularly appreciated the analogy
of the neighbor buying ve cars (in
response to Randy Swans letter Tax the

job where he can afford ve new cars
and the security in that job to know that
hes going to be there a while longer.

Earth to women,
are you out there?
Editor,
Watching woman after woman come
forward at the Democratic National
Convention whining about a war on
women in this country was a complete
insult to many men in America. This rant
culminated with a completely self-
absorbed woman who took a swing at
imaginary evil men keeping her from
abortion, contraceptives and health care.
Sandra Fluke and many women like her
really need to get over themselves.
Ladies, the majority of men dont care
two cents about your bodies or what you
do to them  and we are denitely not
at war with them. 
As if this is the main issue that needs
our immediate attention in this country
right now. Really? Nobody is threatening
your need to have unlimited access to
abortions and contraceptives. What we
do ask is that we not have to pay for
your unlimited access to abortions and
contraceptives. Cause you see, some of
us dont believe the same things you
believe and dont really want our tax
money being spent on your choices. So,
here is the bottom line. We wont get in
the middle of your business concerning
abortion, contraceptives and your body if
you agree not to get in the middle of our
wallets and make us pay for it. Deal?

Support for Israel
Editor,
Is it just me or was the kerfufe at the
Democratic Convention on Jerusalem as
Israels capital much ado about nothing?
I support Israels declarations supporting
Jerusalem as its capital. I favor support-
ive language in both party platforms.
What bothers me is pandering attempts
by some in the GOP to turn support for
Israel, an issue with overwhelming
bipartisan support, into some sort of lit-
mus test or wedge issue. Its just silly.
Despite empty promises in every presi-
dential administration since 1967, has
the U.S. Embassy moved from Tel Aviv
to Jerusalem? Has international support
for Israel increased? Id almost say quite
the opposite. 
Shame on those who try to make polit-
ical hay by attempting to divide us. To
my friends in the GOP, stop trying to
turn support for Israel into a divisive
issue. It isnt. American leaders in both
parties overwhelmingly support Israel
where it counts as do the vast majority of
American voters. There are real dangers
facing our community from those who
delegitimize Israel at every turn, support
terrorists who threaten Israelis and Jews
the world over, and those who advocate
openly for Israels destruction.

and charter shermen to launch their
vessels to collect the oceans bounty.
That enterprise is constantly facing
challenges and needs thoughtful assis-
tance by those in charge of the harbor.
The second gateway is the Oyster Point
Marina/Park with ferry service to and
from the East Bay. It is providing an
alternative transit opportunity for those
who live and work in South San
Francisco, though it is mainly used as a
way for workers who live in the East
Bay to get to the biotech hub of South
San Francisco. There is an opportunity
for progressive thought in getting more
transit alternatives, whether it be addi-
tional ferry stops or nding new and
sustainable ways to get workers to their
places of work once they arrive at the
Bay shore. 
Fortunately for voters in San Mateo
County, there are six people running for
three seats on the Harbor Districts
Board of Commissioners and an oppor-
tunity for new ideas. 
Of the six, we recommend Sabrina
Brennan, William Holsinger and Pietro
Parravano. All three bring a variety of
experience and ideas to the table. For
Brennan, maintaining water quality of
both locations is key to its success and
development at either site should be
embarked upon with the environment
and community access at the forefront.
Brennan is quick with new ideas, and
suggested a bike rental station at Pillar
Point as a way to allow visitors quick
access to more of what the coast has to
offer while also providing revenue for
the district. Her scal conservatism is
refreshing from someone so focused on
environmental stewardship. Holsinger
has lled the seat of former commis-
sioner Sally Campbell since after her
death earlier this year. As a former can-
didate for a seat several years ago,
Holsinger has been a quick study and,
as an attorney, has a keen eye when it
comes to legal language. Parravano
understands the needs of the shermen
and has spent years working toward
nding ways to make it a viable career.
His idea of creating a curriculum at
local community colleges for the sh-
ing industry is a solid step in formaliz-
ing the ins and outs of the industry
knowledge whether it be navigation,
boat maintenance or marketing. That
last component is key since many sh-
ermen have signicant work to do once
their boats are tied up after the days
catch. By providing new avenues of
selling their catch, they can maintain an
industry that has as many ebbs and
ows as the ocean itself. Brennan, too,
would like to extend the reach of the
seafood caught off the coast and would
like to work with local companies with
in-house chefs or restaurants with chefs
who understand the importance of local
and sustainable seafood. Parravano also
has a track record of getting shermen
to branch out when shing is not
allowed in partnering with research
groups to the benet of both. 
The shing industry is in constant
change, and the environment of Pillar
Point Harbor is key to its welfare.
Members of the Board of
Commissioners serve in a support role
for the industry while taking care of the
natural resource of the harbor that
houses the industry. Key too is the
Oyster Point Marina/Park and its capa-
bility to provide new ways for people to
enter our county for work or for pleas-
ure. Brennan, Holsinger and Parravano
would provide the best balance of expe-
rience, points of view and forward-
thinking for both, and for all of us.

Going organic?
E
ven if we discount the research intuitively, foods
grown with chemicals that are literally poisons
cant be as safe and wholesome as foods grown
without them.  Jonathan Wright, M.D. and Linda Larson,
Eating Clean for Dummies.
A new study related to organic foods came out over the
Labor Day weekend. The purported purpose of the research,
under the direction of Dr. Dena Bravada, a senior research
afliate at Stanford University, was to determine if organic
food products are more nutri-
tious than regular foods.
According to Dr. Bravada and
associates, fruit and vegetables
labeled organic were, on aver-
age, no more nutritious than
their conventional counterparts,
which tend to be far less
expensive.
I doubt there are many peo-
ple who prefer organic foods
who are as concerned about
their nutritional content as they
are about the differences in
pesticide, hormones and addi-
tives and the differences in
effects on human health and
the environment. And yet, Michael Pollan wrote in In
Defense of Food: Recently a handful of well-controlled
comparisons of crops grown organically and conventionally
have found appreciably higher levels of anti-oxidants,
avonoids, vitamins and other nutrients in several of the
organic crops.
Dr. Bravada states that the aim of the research was to pro-
vide an objective view of the current science of organic foods
so people can make more informed choices. She says that the
study was not inuenced by anyone with a vested interest in
the results. Though the researchers claim they used no out-
side nancing and wanted us to have no perception of bias,
it is just the kind of study onto which the food industry would
latch. And one statement that makes one wonder is: A lush
peach grown with the use of pesticides could easily contain
more vitamins than an unripe organic one. Really?
The above study has provided an opportunity for me, with
the help of some of my favorite nutritionally focused authors,
to describe some of the more important reasons to go organic.
Ill start with Gary Hirshberg who wrote in Food Inc.
Organic  Healthy Food and So Much More; I see organ-
ic as part of a philosophy of wholeness, the science of integra-
tion, the need to keep nature humming as the interdependent
web of life. Organic is also a pragmatic state of mind, offering
real antidotes to societys assorted ills and errors. It backs a
sensible farm policy that protects not only family farmers, but
also the health of all Americans. When you eat better, you are
better. In fact, an organic food system could bring down
health-care costs by eliminating toxic lifestyles and the unnec-
essary disease and illness they cause.
Add Marion Nestle, who wrote, Eating Made Simple, also
from Food, Inc.: The USDA forbids producers of Certied
Organic fruit and vegetables from using synthetic pesticides,
herbicides, fertilizers, genetically modied seeds, irradiation
or fertilizer derived from sewage sludge ... Although the
USDA is responsible for organics, its principle mandate is to
promote conventional agriculture, which explains why the
department asserts that it makes no claims that organic food is
safer or more nutritious than conventionally produced food.
Organic food differs from conventionally grown food in the
way it is grown, handled and processed. ... Organics may be
somewhat healthier to eat, but they are far less likely to dam-
age the environment, and that is reason enough to choose
them at the supermarket.
Dr. Bravada concluded: People purchased organic food for
a number of reasons. Concerns about the effects of pesticides
on young children, the environmental impact of large-scale
conventional farming and the potential public health threat if
antibiotic resistant bacterial genes jumped to human
pathogens.
I hope Dr. Bravada will soon conduct a study on the report-
ed effects of exposure to pesticides on pregnant women and
young children. As reported in The San Mateo County
Times, three studies published last year followed pregnant
women exposed to higher amounts of pesticides known as
organo-phosphates, then followed the children for years and
found that in elementary school their children had, on average,
IQs several points lower than those of their peers.
But the debate over whether organic foods are more nutri-
tious than conventionally grown crops seems almost irrelevant
when we consider the big picture as described by Marion
Nestle. Organic methods of agriculture can help stabilize
food prices and reduce our dependence on foreign oil. They
can lead to true national security, which, in time, fosters plan-
etary security. By using less fossil fuel and chemicals, and by
trapping and building carbon in the soil instead of in the
atmosphere, organic farming is a crucial WME (weapon of
mass enlightenment) in humanitys now or near ght against
the air pollution that causes global warming  In short, there
is nothing alternative about organic.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW  YORK    Investors  spent
Tuesday preparing for two events sure to
move  markets  this  week: a  Federal
Reserve meeting and a court decision on
whether  Germany  can  help  support  its
struggling  neighbors.  And  if  the  stock
markets  gains  Tuesday  are  any  sign,
they expect both events to turn out well.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose
69.07  points  to  close  at  13,323.36.  The
average of 30 large company stocks has
already  gained  1.8  percent  to  start
September, a  month  which  is  usually
dismal for stocks. 
Bank  of America  led  the  30  stocks  in
the Dow, rising 5 percent, or 45 cents, to
$9.03. 
Federal  Reserve  ofcials  will  gather
for  a  two-day  meeting  on  Wednesday.
Many  expect  the  Fed  will  announce  a
new effort to revive the sluggish econo-
my Thursday afternoon.
On  the  same  day  the  Fed  starts  its
meeting, Germanys  high  court  is
expected to rule on whether the country
can  participate  in  a  European  bailout
fund.  The  court  rejected  a  last-minute
appeal to delay the decision on Tuesday.
Its  going  to  get  interesting  this
week, said Randy Frederick, managing
director of active trading and derivatives
at the brokerage Charles Schwab.
Frederick  expects  the  Fed  will  make
some  sort  of  move, especially  after  the
government  reported  last  Friday  that
employers  added  fewer  than  100,000
jobs in August.
Prior  to  the  employment  report  peo-
ple  werent  as  sure, Frederick  said.  I
am  denitely  on  the  majority  side  here.
Theres some sort of easing coming.
In other trading, the Standard & Poors
500  index  rose  4.48  points  to  1,433.56.
The Nasdaq composite increased 0.51 of
a point to 3,104.53.
The  assumption  that  the  Fed  will
announce  new  stimulus  measures  is  so
widespread  that  some  worry  the  market
could  take  a  plunge  if  the  Fed  fails  to
deliver.
Ron  Florance, managing  director  of
investment  strategy  at  Wells  Fargo
Private  Bank  in  Scottsdale, Ariz., said
hes  always  wary  when  stocks  rise  on
nothing more than expectations.
These  are  the  things  that  make  you
nervous, when markets are going strong
in anticipation of news, Florance said.

SAN FRANCISCO  Facebook CEO
Mark  Zuckerberg, acknowledging  con-
cerns about his companys stock perform-
ance, said Tuesday that Facebook has sur-
vived troubles before.
He  spoke  to  a  standing-room-only
audience  at  a  tech  conference  in  San
Francisco  in  his  rst  interview  since  the
companys rocky initial public offering in
May.  Facebook  Inc.s  stock  has  lost  half
its value since the IPO.
Zuckerberg said the drop has obvious-
ly  been  disappointing, but  he  said  its  a
great time to double down on the com-
panys future.
Facebook  has  not
been  an  uncontrover-
sial  company,
Zuckerberg said. Its
not like this is the rst
up and down we have
ever had.
Among  other
things, Facebook Inc.
has  repeatedly  faced
criticism  and  user
rebellion  over  its
policies  and  practices  affecting  data  pri-
vacy.
Wearing  a  gray  T-shirt, jeans  and
sneakers, Zuckerberg  appeared  Tuesday
in  a  half-hour  reside  chat at  the  San
Francisco  Disrupt  conference  organized
by technology blog TechCrunch.
After  he  began  speaking, Facebooks
stock  increased  74  cents, 3.8  percent,
$20.17 after-hours trading. Thats on top
of  a  3.3  percent  gain  during  the  regular
session.
We  have  a  pretty  good  compass,
Zuckerberg  said.  I  always  like  to  think
that  when  folks  are  being  too  nice, we
arent  as  good  as  they  say  they  are. And
when  the  media  is  being  too  critical, we
are not as bad as they say we are.
Investors  have  been  concerned  about
Facebooks  ability  to  keep  growing  rev-
enue, especially  as  more  people  use  it
from  mobile  devices, where  this  is  less
room to how ads.

KB Home acquires 
330 acres for home development
AUSTIN, Texas   KB Home said Tuesday that it bought
Mason  Ranch, a  330-acre  piece  of  land  near Austin, Texas,
and hopes to develop it into a planned community with 1,019
home sites. Financial terms were not disclosed. 
KB Home said the community will include energy efcient
homes that are built to order and are located on roads that wind
through  a  family  friendly  neighborhood.  The  area  includes
nationally  recognized  schools, a  variety  of  retail  establish-
ments and nearby access to interstate highways and toll roads,
the company said.
Land development is scheduled to begin in early 2013, with
model homes opening later in the year.
YouTube offers new iPhone app 
SAN FRANCISCO  YouTube is being reprogrammed for
the iPhone and iPad amid the latest fallout from the growing
hostility between Google and Apple.
The changes are being made because Google Inc. and Apple
Inc.  didnt  renew  a  ve-year  licensing  agreement  that  estab-
lished YouTubes video service as one of the built-in applica-
tions in the operating system that runs the iPhone and iPad.
YouTube  is  being  bumped  from  the  menu  of  pre-installed
apps on the next version of Apples mobile operating system,
or iOS, which could be released as early as Wednesday when
the latest iPhone is expected to be unveiled.

SUNNYVALE      Chip  maker Advanced  Micro  Devices
Inc. said Tuesday that it has invested in CiiNow, a provider of
cloud-based video game technology.
AMD did not say how much it invested and a representative

The  Serra  water  polo  team  warmed  up  for
its  West  Catholic  Athletic  League  opener
Wednesday  by  hosting  Carlmont  Tuesday
afternoon.
If nothing else, the Padres should be full of
condence  heading  into  Wednesdays  match
against St. Francis following a 14-2 win over
the outgunned Scots. The Padres scored seven
goals on nine shots in the opening period and
cruised to the victory.
Hole  set  Anthony  Buljan  scored  six  times
for Serra, while Brandon Yes added three, all
in  the  opening  minutes  of  the  game.  Matt
Blais  added  a  pair, while  Dominic  Mirt  and
Joe Kmak each scored once.
Carlmonts Nathan Callahan scored both his
teams goals  one in the second period and
one  in  the  fourth.  Elias  Sebti  assisted  on
Callahans rst goal.
With such a lopsided win, it begs the ques-
tion: why schedule an obviously overmatched
team?  For  Serra  coach  Bob  Greene, the
answer  is  two-fold: one, to  see  what  kind  of
talent  he  has  on  his  bench  and  two, to  hope-
fully make teams like Carlmont better for hav-
ing played the Padres.
When youre early in the season, its very
hard  to  truly  evaluate  what  your  bench  can
do, Greene said. Also, Im a San Mateo guy.
I  want  Carlmont, Aragon, Burlingame,
Hillsdale (and the like), I want all those guys
to  have  good  polo  (programs).  If  they  can
learn  some  things  from  playing  us, maybe
they  can  take  that  [into  Peninsula  Athletic
League play].
As far as nding out how good his team can
be, Greene said a couple of players have been
a revelation. Blais has scored 10 goals already
this preseason.
He was low on my bench, but he has a nice
shot, Greene said.
The  other  surprise  has  been  Daniel
Campoverde.  Greene  said  he  is  the  smallest
member  or  the  team, but  has  played  himself
into  the  Padres rotation  with  his  preseason
performance. Greene said he wasnt even sure
Campoverde would stay with the varsity team.
I  didnt  know  if  he  could  contribute  at  a
high  level, Greene  said.  Now, hes  playing
about a quarter of a game.
Green said its imperative the Padres have a

The  Sacred  Heart  Prep  girls volleyball
team, which  was  the  Central  Coast  Section
Division  IV  runnerup  last  year  and  advanced
to the Northern California seminals, is poised
for another strong year in 2012.
The  Gators  improved  to  8-1  on  the  young
season, sweeping past host San Mateo 25-15,
25-22, 25-17 Tuesday evening in San Mateo.
With eight seniors, a number of which were
part of the Gators Nor Cal championship team
in  2010, this  could  be  their  last  run  at  great-
ness with this core of players. Hoping to make
the most of it is senior Sonia Abuel-Saud, who
missed  most  of  last  season  after  tearing  both
the anterior cruciate and medial collateral lig-
aments in her knee in the nal game before the
start West  Bay Athletic  League  play  last  sea-
son.
How important is Abuel-Saud?
We  win  (CCS  with  her).  Period, said
Sacred Heart Prep coach Damien Hardy. The
kid is worth eight points a set.  Were happy
to have her back.
Abuel-Saud  said  it  was  hard  watching  the
Gators make their run through league play and
into  the  playoffs.  But  she  was  determined  to
get back on the court as soon as she could. She
had  surgery  at  the  end  of  September  and  was
back on the oor with her club team at the end
of December.
It was really tough. I was really excited for
my  junior  year, Abuel-Saud  said.  I  had  an
amazing  surgeon.  He  was  so  awesome  with
his positivity.
Abuel-Saud was determined not to have the
knee injury dene her. She wore a brace for a
few weeks, but got rid of it as soon as she felt
comfortable.  Not  only  did  she  want  to  use  it
as  a  mental  brace, she  wanted  to  affect  the
psyche of opponents as well. She did not want

If  the  week  before  the  Peninsula  Athletic
League  is  meant  to  be  a  dress  rehearsal  of
sorts, then it would appear that the Burlingame
volleyball team is ready for the show to begin.
The  Panthers  were  methodical  Tuesday
evening, defeating Woodside High School 25-
19, 25-19, 25-17 in preparation for the start of
the PAL Bay Division season Sept. 18. 
Were  a  pretty  young  team, said  senior
outside hitter Morgan McKeever, who had 12
kills  for  the  match.  Were  a  little  stronger
offensive  then  defensive  so  far.  Weve  had  a
pretty good start.
The Panthers were strong from start to nish
against  the Wildcats. While Woodside  threat-
ened to make runs at certain times, you never
got the sense that Burlingame wasnt in com-
plete control. 
More  than  anything  else  it  was  our  pass-
ing, said  Woodside  coach  Kyle  Mashima  of
his teams performance. If we controlled the
serve and got our offense going, we were even.
So, really  the  difference  was  in  our  ability  to
control  the  rst  ball.  I  think  Burlingame  was
serving  the  ball  really  well  and  we  werent
passing  as  well.  The  rest  of  the  offense  was
pretty  even.  Things  will  get  better  as  we  go
forward.
Game  1  was  pretty  even  with  Woodside
leading midway through the frame on the help
of  several  Burlingame  hitting  errors  (11  by
sets end).
But the Panthers found their stride, gaining
the  lead  at  13-12  and  never  really  letting  up
the  rest  of  the  match.  Isabell  Walker  was  all

By  glancing  at  the  College  of  San  Mateo
football  schedule  and  seeing  an  upcoming
game against an 0-2 team, there are those peo-
ple who might think the Bulldogs have caught
a break. 
But make no mistake about it. Diablo Valley
College is not your typical 0-2 team. Not by a
long  shot. And  the  Bulldogs  know  that  from
here  on  the  out, theyre  in  for  seven  all-out
wars.
This  team  should  be  2-0, said  Tim
Tulloch, CSM assistant head coach and defen-
sive  coordinator  Tim  Tulloch.  We  know
theyre a great team. You just look at the lm
and we see it. If they long snap a little bit bet-
ter, they win both their games.
Tulloch is talking about two impressive per-
formances  against  two  giant  opponents  
City  College  of  San  Francisco  (the  reigning
national  champions)  and  Santa  Rosa.  The
Vikings  lost  both  games  by  a  combined  nine
points  while  racking  up  an  average  of  521
yards  of  offense  against  two  very  well-
coached and respected defenses.
Theyre  extremely  well-coached  on  the
offensive side of the ball, Tulloch said. And
they  challenge  you  because  they  can  run  the
ball  extremely  effectively  out  of  the  spread.
They  can  run  the  ball  until  the  cows  come
home  when  they  want  to.  And  its  not  four
yards  here, six  yards  there, theyre  explosive
plays. They have some serious weapons.
While  competing  against  very  talented
teams  is  nothing  new  to  CSM, Saturdays
game  against  DVC  comes  on  the  heels  of  a

DENVER  Madison Bumgarner hit a three-
run homer on a night when he struggled on the
mound  and  Brandon  Belt  drove  in  four  runs,
helping the San Francisco Giants hold on for a 9-
8 win over the Colorado Rockies in rainy condi-
tions Tuesday.
Belt broke a tie in the fth with a two-run dou-
ble. He also brought in a run on a elders choice
and added a solo homer for
the  NL  West  leaders, who
are  20-7  on  the  road  since
the All-Star break.
Bumgarner  was  roughed
up by the Rockies, allowing
ve runs and 11 hits in 4 1-
3  innings.  The  lefty  gave
the  Giants  a  big  boost,
though, with  his  bat, send-
ing a 93 mph fastball from
Jhoulys  Chacin  into  the
left-eld seats.
San  Franciscos  bullpen  was  stellar  heading
into the ninth, giving up just one run. But Sergio
Romo  gave  up  a  two-out, two-run  homer  to
pinch-hitter  Tyler  Colvin  to  make  things  inter-
esting. Lefty Javier Lopez was called in to face
Jason Giambi, who popped up to end the game.
It was Lopezs seventh save.
George  Kontos  (2-1)  picked  up  the  win  by
bailing the Giants out of a tight spot in the fth
with two strikeouts. 
Chris Nelson, Wilin Rosario, Jordan Pacheco,
Matt McBride and Carlos Gonzalez all had RBI
singles for the Rockies.
After  a  shaky  outing  from  Chacin, Carlos
Torres (4-2) took over in the fth and promptly
ran into trouble. Belt gave the giants the lead for
good when he doubled off the glove of Gonzalez
in left. As the ball rolled into the corner, Marco
Scutaro and Buster Posey came around to score.
Scutaro has been quite a catalyst for the Giants
since he was acquired from the Rockies in late
July. Hes hit safely in 34 of 43 games since don-
ning a San Francisco uniform.
For him coming up with some of the big hits
with the Giants, Im not the least bit surprised,
Colorado  manager  Jim  Tracy  said  before  the
game. Hes a terric player. Hes a very heady
player.
Down 4-0 in the fth, the Giants rallied to tie
it. The big blow was Bumgarners three-run shot
 a no-doubter, too, as Gonzalez briey turned
to give chase before watching it leave the park. 
Bumgarners  only  other  major  league  homer
came three months ago against Houston.
While Bumgarner shined at the plate  also
lacing a single  he never found a groove on the
mound.  Thats  unusual  for  Bumgarner  in  this
park, where he had allowed just two earned runs
in his last three starts at Coors Field.
The  quirky  Colorado  weather  befuddled  the
Giants  in  the  third  inning.  With  San  Francisco
about to bat, the wind and rain moved in, mak-
ing  the  conditions  almost  look  like  swirling
snow.  Chacin  yielded  two  singles, but  wiggled
out of the jam when Pablo Sandoval ew out.
Then, in the bottom half of the inning, the rain
all but vanished.
And  the  Rockies  took  full  advantage  of  the
change  in  weather.  Chacin  ignited  a  three-run
inning  with  a  leadoff  double.  He  later  scored
when  Josh  Rutledge  hit  into  a  double  play.
Bumgarner  then  gave  up  four  straight  hits,
including  run-scoring  singles  to  Rosario  and
Pacheco. 
Colorado  scored  a  run  in  the  second  on
Nelsons  RBI  single.  Bumgarner  escaped  any
further  trouble  by  getting  DJ  LeMahieu  to  hit
into an inning-ending double play.
NOTES: The  Giants  reinstated  RHP  Clay
Hensley  (groin)  from  the  disabled  list.  ...  RHP
Tim  Lincecum  (8-14)  will  start  Wednesday
against  LHP  Jeff  Francis  (5-4).  ...  Rockies  C
Ramon Hernandez (hamstring) had an MRI on
Tuesday.  ...  LHP  Jorge  De  La  Rosa  (elbow)
threw  3  2-3  innings  and  gave  up  one  run
Monday for Class-A Modesto. 
Giants increase lead

ANAHEIM    Jerry  Blevins  got  Howie
Kendrick  to  ground  into  a  game-ending  dou-
ble  play  with  two  runners  on  in  the  ninth
inning, and the Oakland Athletics held off the
Los  Angeles  Angels  6-5  Tuesday  night  for
their fth straight victory.
Brandon Moss and Yoenis Cespedes home-
red  and  Dan  Straily  pitched  into  the  seventh
inning of his fourth major league start for the
As.  Oakland  emerged  with  its  11th  straight
road  victory, matching  the  second-longest
streak in franchise history.
Torii Hunter and Albert Pujols had run-scor-
ing  singles  in  the  ninth  for  the  Angels, who
had  runners  at  the  corners  and  nobody  out
before  Blevins  relieved  As  closer  Grant
Balfour and earned his rst save since 2010 in
dramatic fashion.
Coco Crisp hit a ninth-inning RBI triple and
scored on Hunters error in right eld for the
As, who  have  taken  two  straight  at  Angel
Stadium with a rookie starter on the mound.
This one wasnt nearly as tidy as Mondays
3-1 win, however.
Balfour  walked  Chris  Iannetta  and  Mike
Trout  to  open  the  ninth, and  Hunter  cut
Oaklands  lead  to  two  runs  with  a  single  to
center. Pujols then drove an RBI single to left,
chasing the As closer.
Blevins, who  had  just  one  save  in  his  rst
204  career  appearances, struck  out  Kendrys
Morales. Kendrick then grounded to third, and
Oakland smartly turned the double play to end
it.
Vernon  Wells  hit  an  early  two-run  homer
and  Hunter  chased  Straily  with  a  seventh-
inning  shot  for  the  Angels, whose  wild-card
hopes took another hit. Los Angeles had won
six straight and 11 of 12 before opping twice
against the As, who were swept by the Angels
in a three-game series last week.
Straily  (2-0)  yielded  seven  hits  and  struck
out eight in his rst start since coming up from
Triple-A  Sacramento  last  week  to  take  the
rotation spot of injured right-hander Brandon
McCarthy.
Oakland (81-60) has won 14 of 17 and 20 of
25, moving  21  games  over  .500  for  the  rst
time  since  the  end  of  the  2006  season.  The
Athletics grasp  on  a  wild-card  spot  gets
stronger  with  each  game  in  Anaheim, and
theyre just three games behind Texas for the
AL West lead.
The As hadnt won 11 straight road games
since 1981. Theyll attempt to match the fran-
chise  record  of  12  straight  road  wins
Wednesday  night  when  A.J.  Grifn  pitches
against Los Angeles Ervin Santana.
Trout  had  three  hits  for  Los  Angeles  (77-
65), which  dropped  2  1/2  games  behind
Baltimore and the Yankees (79-62) for the sec-
ond wild-card spot with its rst back-to-back
losses  since Aug.  25-26.  Tampa  Bay  (77-64)
also is between the Angels and that wild-card
slot.
Jerome Williams (6-8) couldnt make it out
of  the  fourth  inning  in  his  rst  start  for  Los
Angeles  since  July  19.  The  veteran  gave  up
four runs and ve hits, including four straight
during Oaklands three-run fourth.
Cespedes hadnt homered in his previous 21
games  until  he  connected  in  the  second
inning, his  line  drive  barely  eluding  Trouts
glove at the wall in center.
Wells put the Angels in front with a two-run
shot  down  the  left-eld  line  in  the  second
inning, his fth homer in 15 games.
Williams  was  the Angels fth  starter  early
in the season before injuries sidelined him, but
he  got  a  spot  start  when  ace  Jered  Weaver
skipped a turn to rest the tendinitis in his right
shoulder.
After  Moss  hit  his  18th  homer, Josh
Donaldson  singled  and  scored  on  Stephen
Drews  sacrifice  fly  off  reliever  Nick
Maronde.
Hunter, who is hitting well over .400 in the
past two weeks, connected for his 14th homer
in the seventh.
Streaking As win again

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBUS, Ohio    Spurred  on  by  a
roaring  crowd  decked  out  in  red, white  and
blue, the  United  States  used  all  of  that  emo-
tion as fuel to pull off a signicant World Cup
qualifying victory.
The U.S. rebounded from a loss at Jamaica
four  nights  earlier  and  moved  back  into  a  tie
for its group lead by beating the Reggae Boyz
1-0 Tuesday night as Herculez Gomez curled
in a free kick in the 55th minute.
It  was  a  night  when  the  only  respite  from
the din from a capacity crowd of 23,881 was
the  moment  of  silence  before  the  game  in
remembrance of the 11th anniversary of Sept.
11 terrorist attacks.
That  was  an  awesome  homecoming,
Gomez said afterward, almost drowned out as
fans  left  Crew  Stadium  chanting  and  cheer-
ing.  You  couldnt  ask  for  more.  The  crowd
was great, and the guys fed off of it.
The  U.S., which  made  ve  changes  to  its
starting  lineup  from  Fridays  2-1  loss  in
Kingston, is  tied  with  Guatemala  (2-1-1)  at
seven  points  in  Group  A  of  the  North  and
Central  American  and  Caribbean  seminals.
Jamaica  (2-1-1)  also  has  seven  points  but
trails on goal difference.
The top two nations advance to next years
six-team  regional  nals, which  will  produce
three  qualiers  for  the  2014  tournament  in
Brazil.
Seeking  its  seventh  straight  World  Cup
appearance, the  U.S.  plays  at  virtually  elimi-
nated Antigua  and  Barbuda  on  Oct.  12, then
completes  the  semis  four  days  later  against
Guatemala at Kansas City, Kan.

SANTA  CLARA    Leonard
Davis  is  one  of  the  NFLs  biggest
men  today  because  his  parents, both
of  whom  had  lost  spouses, found
each  other  in  small-town  Texas  and
decided to add one more child to their
already enormous blended family.
He  became  No.  22  in  the  brood,
between them.
No wonder Davis has been such a
perfect t in Jim Harbaughs family-
oriented  San  Francisco  locker  room
since the 12th-year guard signed with
the 49ers this summer.
When  his  mother  remarried,
Sammie  Lee  Davis  never  doubted
she  would  have  one  more  child  to
give her 11.
Little did she know, her last would
wind up a 6-foot-6, 355-pound offen-
sive  lineman.  After  all, Davis  was
born at a healthy, yet rather average 7
1/2  pounds, less  than  a  month  after
she turned 40.
He got big in a hurry.
Ive  been  the  biggest  since  Day
1, Davis  said, From  kindergarten
all the way through.
In  fact, Davis  began  growing  so
fast he was out of his infant clothes in
no  time, and  he  fussed  so  regularly
his mom nally realized he was just
plain hungry. All the time.
I started to put a teaspoon of baby
rice in his bottle with formula, and it
was just like you gave him a sleeping
pill, she recalled.
Sammie  Lee  was  twice  a  widow
when  she  married  Davis dad.  She
lost her rst husband in a car accident
and her second to cancer. L.A. Davis,
a  minister  who  died  in  2007, was
already  a  father  to  11  of  his  own
before his rst wife died of a hemor-
rhage.
One  of  his  young  sons  was  in
school with one of her daughters.
Davis  is  doing  a  much  better  job
keeping  track  of  the  49ers complex
playbook than he ever has remember-
ing how many nieces and nephews he
has, let alone their names.
People dont have that many kids
nowadays, said  Davis, a  father  of
two  girls, 9-year-old  Meeya  and  7-
year-old Mariya.
Davis emerged as a rock-solid run-
blocker during his best seasons from
2007-2010 with the Dallas Cowboys,
who  released  him  before  training
camp in 2011. He started every game
from 2006, his last season in Arizona,
through 2010.
Yet  the  34-year-old  Davis  didnt
play  a  single  snap  last  season  after
signing with Detroit in November.
Then, Davis  had  offseason  foot
surgery.  Harbaugh  gave  him  a  shot
after  Davis  visited  the  49ers  this
spring.  He  signed  four  months  later,
ahead of training camp.
Leonard Davis literally a big addition to 49ers
back-to-back  performances  in
which  the  Bulldogs  consider  them-
selves  somewhat  fortunate  to  come
away with wins.
Against  Chabot  College, CSM
found themselves down 13-0 before
waking up and charging out to a 27-
13 lead behind three Quincy Nelson
touchdowns. 
Chabot  answered  and  tied  the
game at 27 and it took a strong n-
ish  by  the  Bulldogs  to  come  away
with the 40-27 win.
Tulloch  knows  that  comebacks
are  nice, but  if  the  Bulldogs  have  a
similar  start  against  DVC, they
might nd themselves at the bottom
of a pit way too deep to claw out of. 
We  cant  dig  ourselves  holes,
Tulloch  said.  The  first  drive  is
extremely  important.  We  have  to
make  sure  rst  series, rst  quarter,
we  start  with  that  killer  instinct.
That  we  punch  rst.  In  any  ght,
you have to punch rst and you have
to  punch  hard.  And  I  think  thats
what  were  preaching  this  week.
You  have  to  start  strong. You  cant
dig  yourself  a  hole  against  a  great
team.
DVC  has  some  gifted  weapons.
Pulling the trigger at quarterback is
Quinn  Kaehler, a  two-year  starter
whos  thrown  for  860  yards  and
eight  touchdowns  already  in  2012.
A  ne  trio  of  receivers  helps  
Cameron  Rowland  in  the  slot  is
DVCs  leading  receiver  while
Diante Jackson, a bounce-back from
Oregon  University, and  Andre
Lewis  (Utah-committed  already)
and  his  ve  touchdowns, are  major
threats on the outside. 
No. 1 thing we need to do is play
hard  and  play  together, Tulloch
said.  If  we  do  that, were  going  to
be  on  the  right  track  and  ready  for
these teams of this caliber. You cant
start  slow, you  have  to  start  strong
and you have to eliminate easy ones.
You  have  to  make  it  earn  it.  You
have to make good teams earn their
points.
Names  on  a  roster  aside, CSM
hasnt looked very sharp defensive-
ly in 2012. The Bulldogs come into
Saturdays  game  allowing  an  aver-
age of 387 yards on defense. 
[Thats] way too much, Tulloch
said.  Way  too  much.  I  dont  think
anybody  on  defense, players  and
coaches  included, are  happy  with
what  were  doing.  And  we  surely
havent played our best. We need to
take  a  step  forward  and  hopefully
this  is  the  week  we  do  it.  If  we
dont, with  DVCs  offense, youre
going  to  have  your  hands  full.  Its
going to be a long day. So, you bet-
ter  make  some  strides  and  I  know
the  players  are  committed  to  do  it.
We expect on defense to change it.
Tulloch  made  it  clear  his  defense
isnt  backing  down.  And  the  same
goes  for  the  CSM  offense, who  is
airing the ball out a lot more in 2012
behind John Willis. 
What was great [against Chabot]
was  seeing  all  the  explosion  on
offense, Tulloch said. You seen all
the  skill  players  really  step  up  and
that  was  a  big  thing.  Obviously  the
turnovers  are  something  were
working  hard  to  address.  If  we  can
do be explosive like we are and run
the ball like we did last week, along
with  protecting  the  football, were
going  to  continue  to  make  those
strides. Defensively, we just have to
play harder.
Theyll have to play much harder
from  here  on  out. While  DVC  is  0-
2, after  Saturdays  game, their
remaining  six  opponents  are  cur-
rently a combined 12-0. 
We  respect  everybody, Tulloch
said, but  were  not  a  team  thats
going  to  be  scared  of  anybody.
Theres a big difference. We respect
what  they  do.  We  understand  the
challenges  they  pose  but  there  not
an ounce of fear. Were going to out
and play Bulldog football. 
We  see  the  best  offenses  in  the
state  year  in  and  year  out.  So, our
guys, its  no  different  for  them.
They know theyre going to be chal-
lenged  by  the  best  and  thats  why
they  came  to  (CSM).  They  want  to
play  this  schedule.  We  want  to
coach this schedule. You embrace it
and  you  encourage  it.  Its  great  for
our guys.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Mary A. Marshall
aka Mary Albertina Marshall
Case Number 122657
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent  creditors,  and  persons  who  may 
otherwise  be  interested  in  the  will  or  es-
tate,  or  both,  of:  Mary  A.  Marshall  aka 
Mary  Albertina  Marshall.    A  Petition  for 
Probate  has  been  filed  by  Marilyn  M. 
Moon in the Superior Court of California, 
County  of  San  Mateo.    The  Petition  for 
Probate  requests  that  Marilyn  M.  Moon 
be  appointed  as  personal  representative 
to administer the estate of the decedent.
The  petition  requests  the  decedents  will 
and  codicils,  if  any,  be  admitted  to  pro-
bate.  The will and any codicils are avail-
able  for  examination  in  the  file  kept  by 
the court.
The  petition  requests  authority  to  admin-
ster  the  estate  under  the  Independent 
Administration  of  Estates  Act.  (This  au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive  to  take  many  actions  without  obtain-
ing  court  approval.  Before  taking  certain 
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal  representative  will  be  required  to 
give  notice  to  interested  persons  unless 
they have waived notice or consented to 
the  proposed  action.)  The  independent 
administration  authority  will  be  granted 
unless  an  interested  person  files  an  ob-
jection  to  the  petition  and  shows  good 
cause why the court should not grant the

Wednesday  Sept. 12, 2012 THEDAILYJOURNAL
By Maggie Michael and Sarah El Deeb
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAIRO    A  movie  attacking  Islams
prophet Muhammad sparked assaults on U.S.
diplomatic  missions  in  Libya  and  Egypt  on
Tuesday.  A  Libyan  security  ofcial  reported
an American  was  shot  to  death  as  protesters
burned the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, and in
Cairo, protesters scaled the walls of the U.S.
embassy walls and replaced an American ag
with an Islamic banner. 
It was the rst such assaults on U.S. diplo-
matic  facilities  in  either  country, at  a  time
when both Libya and Egypt are struggling to
overcome the turmoil following the ouster of
their  longtime  leaders, Moammar  Gadha
and Hosni Mubarak in uprisings last year.
The protests in both countries were sparked
by outrage over a video being promoted by an
extreme  anti-Muslim  Egyptian  Christian
campaigner in the United States.
In  the  eastern  Libyan  city  of  Benghazi, a
large  mob  stormed  the  U.S.  Consulate, with
gunmen  ring  their  weapons, said  Wanis  al-
Sharef, an  Interior  Ministry  official  in
Bengazi. A  witness  said  attackers  red  auto-
matic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades
at  the  consulate  they  clashed  with  Libyans
hired to guard the facility.
Outnumbered by the crowd, Libyan securi-
ty  forces  did  little  to  stop  them, al-Sharef
said. 
The crowd overwhelmed the facility and set
re  to  it, burning  most  of  it  and  looting  the
contents, witnesses said.
One American was shot to death and a sec-
ond was wounded in the hand, al-Sharef said.
He did not give further details, and there was
no immediate U.S. conrmation of the death.
Hours before the Benghazi attack, hundreds
of  mainly  ultraconservative  Islamist  protest-
ers in Egypt marched to the U.S. Embassy in
downtown  Cairo, gathering  outside  its  walls
and  chanting  against  the  movie  and  the  U.S.
Most  of  the  embassy  staff  had  left  the  com-
pound  earlier  because  of  warnings  of  the
upcoming demonstration.
Say it, dont fear: Their ambassador must
leave, the crowd chanted.
Dozens  of  protesters  then  scaled  the
embassy  walls, and  several  went  into  the
courtyard  and  took  down  the  American  ag
from  a  pole.  They  brought  it  back  to  the
crowd outside, which tried to burn it, but fail-
ing that tore it apart.
The  protesters  on  the  wall  then  raised  on
the agpole a black ag with a Muslim decla-
ration of faith, There is no god but God and
Muhammad is his prophet. The ag, similar
to the banner used by al-Qaida, is commonly
used by ultraconservatives around the region.
The  crowd  grew  throughout  the  evening
with thousands standing outside the embassy.
Dozens  of  riot  police  lined  up  along  the
embassy  walls  but  did  not  stop  protesters  as
they continued to climb and stand on the wall
-  though  it  appeared  no  more  went  into  the
compound.
The  crowd  chanted, Islamic, Islamic. The
right  of  our  prophet  will  not  die. Some
shouted, We are all Osama, referring to al-
Qaida leader bin Laden. Young men, some in
masks, sprayed  grafti  on  the  walls.  Some
grumbled that Islamist President Mohammed
Morsi had not spoken out about the movie.
A group of women in black veils and robes
that  left  only  their  eyes  exposed  chanted,
Worshippers of the Cross, leave the Prophet
Muhammad alone.
By midnight, the crowd had dwindled. The
U.S. Embassy said on its Twitter account that
there  will  be  no  visa  services  on Wednesday
because of the protests.
A  senior  Egyptian  security  ofcial  at  the
embassy  area  said  authorities  allowed  the
protest because it was peaceful. When they
started  climbing  the  walls, he  said  he  called
for  more  troops, denying  that  the  protesters
stormed  the  embassy.  He  spoke  on  condition
of  anonymity  because  he  was  not  authorized
to speak to reporters.
