OBAMA TO BROADEN U.S. EFFORT TO COMBAT MILITANTS
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The body governing San
Mateo Countys special dis-
tricts still favors dissolving the
Harbor District and handing its
duties to the county and the city
of South San Francisco but
wants to wait until after finish-
ing a service review.
The Local Agency Formation
Commission agrees with a civil
grand jury recommendation to
initiate a service review by Dec.
31 and, in its proposed response,
suggests doing so before moving
ahead with any dissolution
plans. LAFCo members will vote
on the recommended reply at its
Sept. 17 meeting.
In July, the countys civil grand
jury released a scathing report on
the Harbor District which operates
Pillar Point Harbor on the coast
and Oyster Point Marina/Park in
South San Francisco. The report
tackled issues ranging from
nances to board dysfunction and
ultimately concluded the special
district would be better off dis-
solved.
LAFCo, the body that evaluates
special districts, was named in the
report and therefore required to
respond in writing within 90 days.
However, the grand jury reports
carry no legal weight so any push
to end the Harbor District is in the
hands of any city, district or vot-
ing majority although the latter
has a very high percentage thresh-
old.
A future municipal service
review of the district could look at
the potential of San Mateo County
becoming successor to Pillar
Point Harbor and South San
LAFCo to review Harbor District by years end

Girl finds ancient spear
point on New Jersey beach
LONG BRANCH, N.J. A girl has
found what appears to be an ancient
spear point on a New Jersey beach.
Eleven-year-old Victoria
Doroshenkos discovery in Long
Branch over the Labor Day weekend
came weeks after a Virginia boy found
a projectile point from the
Paleoindian period in Beach Haven.
The Fair Lawn resident tells the
Asbury Park Press she was just look-
ing for shells when she found the dark-
colored stone.
Greg Lattanzi with the New Jersey
State Museum says he believes the
girls object was made in the Adena
culture between 1,000 B.C. and 100
B.C. Complicating the identication
process is the spear point appears to
be unnished.
The boys projectile point was from
the early-to-mid-Paleoindian period,
which dates as far back as 13,500 B.C.
Newborn killer whale
spotted in Washington waters
SEATTLE Whale researchers are
celebrating the newest member of a
population of endangered killer
whales that frequent Puget Sound in
Washington state.
The baby orca spotted over the
weekend in waters off San Juan is the
populations first calf born since
2012. A researcher saw it swimming
between two adult females, most like-
ly the orcas mom and aunt, said Ken
Balcomb with the Center for Whale
Research, which keeps a census of the
whales.
The orca is probably less than a
week old, he said. Researchers dont
know yet whether its a boy or a girl.
The baby is a member of the L pod,
one of three extended families of
whales that are closely tracked and
photographed by researchers.
Its birth is reason to celebrate,
Balcomb said. But he cautioned that
orcas are still struggling to recover
because of pollution, lack of food and
other reasons.
The newborn orca brings the number
of killer whales in the Puget Sound
population to 79, Balcomb said. Two
whales were conrmed missing and
presumed dead this year.
The unique population, known as
southern resident killer whales, num-
bered more than 140 animals decades
ago but declined to a low of 71 in the
1970s when dozens of the mammals
were captured live to be displayed at
marine parks and aquariums across the
country.
Orcas were listed as endangered in
2005, after local and regional efforts
began in the 2000s to conserve them.
The resident orcas that eat salmon
are declining because the salmon pop-
ulation is also endangered, Balcomb
said Monday. What we have to do is
get really serious about wild salmon
restoration and recovery, which is the
food supply for these guys.
He said billions of dollars have
spent on salmon recovery, but orcas
are still in decline. Whats the issue
here? Overharvests? Dams? Military
exercises? What? We have to gure it
out, he added.
The striking black and white whales
have come to symbolize the Pacic
Northwest. Individual whales are iden-
tied by slight variations in the shape
of their dorsal fins and distinctive
whitish-gray patch of pigment behind
the dorsal n, called a saddle patch.
The whales are given designations
based on whether they belong to J, K
or Lpod. The newest member is L-120.
Dave Ellifrit, a researcher with the
center, came across the newborn
Saturday while doing routine photo
identification of whales, Balcomb
said.
Killer whales can be found in many
oceans, but the distinct Puget Sound
population can be found most summer
months and fall in Washington state
waters.
They primarily eat sh, rather than
other marine mammals. They travel in
three families, or the J, K and L pods.
Whales from the same pod tend to
spend most of their time together,
often grouping around older females.

In creating a new fleet of electrified
trains, Caltrain is seeking input on the
interior design and what types of amenities
the public would like to see as part of the
modernization of the growing public tran-
sit agency.
Considerations include how many seats,
restrooms or bike cars the public would
like to see on the new trains that are
expected to replace about 75 percent of its
current diesel fleet by 2020.
People can participate during meetings
throughout September, online and in per-
son at select stations.
In response to growing ridership,
Caltrain embarked on its modernization
project that includes new trains, an updated
control system and the electrification of
the tracks, which could also support high-
speed rail.
Its no secret that were sort of the vic-
tim of our own success, said Caltrain
spokeswoman Christine Dunn. The [mod-
ernization project] is an opportunity for us
to take a look at the interior of our new cars
and how we can make use of the most space
and one of the things we want is to get
input from our riders.
Caltrain has experienced record-breaking
ridership each month for the last four years
and is currently averaging about 60,000
riders on weekdays, Dunn said.
Bicyclist ridership has also skyrocketed
and grew by 20 percent over the last year,
according to Caltrain.
There are certain trains during our peak
period commute where the bike car is
always full and people who try to board
with a bike will not be able to get on the
train. But we also have trains during our
peak period where people have to stand
regularly now, Dunn said. Some people
get on in San Carlos and have to stand all
the way to San Francisco.
Currently, Caltrain operates 92 trains
each weekday each with between 620 and
680 seats, Dunn said. Each train is com-
prised of five cars, two of which allow
bikes and each with a restroom, Dunn said.
Part of the community outreach is con-
sidering varying tradeoffs that will affect
the number of seats on each train, Dunn
said.
For more than 20 years, there has been a
growing push to accommodate more bikes
on Caltrain and many believe now is the
time to advocate for bicyclists, said Bob
Mack, an avid Caltrain rider and co-pub-
lisher of Cycle California! Magazine.
I think having more bikes is worth the
tradeoff of some seats and definitely worth
the tradeoff of restrooms, Mack said.
Unlike most mass transit systems across
the country, Caltrain has few stations that
offer restrooms, Mack said. Giving up rest-
rooms on the train to allow for more bicy-
clists and seats would be easier if Caltrain
also updated some of its stations, Mack
said.
One of the most discouraging problems
that Caltrain should address is that bicy-
clists are the only section of riders who can
purchase a ticket and not be guaranteed
service as many bike cars fill during peak
hours, Mack said.
Mack said trading seats for racks also
makes sense as most bicyclists stand near
their bikes to ensure theyre not stolen.
Mack said he hopes people get involved in
the design process of the electrified trains
and that bicyclists are given full consider-
ation.
Theres a growing number of people
who live without cars, who choose to
because its expensive and the more you
rely on public transit, the more you need
the ability to bring your bike with you,
Mack said. I think now is a very critical
time for people to step up, go to the public
meetings and contact the representatives
on the Caltrain board.
Dunn said the public meetings, online
forum and in-person interviews at stations
are preliminary and Caltrain wont begin
the process of hiring an engineer until the
environmental impact report is approved.
Currently, staff is compiling information
and expected to finalize the report at the
end of the year, Dunn said.
As Caltrain looks toward the future, hav-
ing its customers participate in the cre-
ation of the new trains early on is crucial,
Dunn said.
With Caltrain ridership at or near capac-
ity on many trains during the commute, it
is important to make the best use of the
interior space on these new electric
trains, Dunn said. We want to hear from
our riders and from the public about how
they think these cars should be built to
accommodate future riders.
Caltrain will be hosting meetings at its
headquarters at 1250 San Carlos Ave., on
Sept. 18, 22 and 25. A meeting will also be
held Sept. 29 in Mountain View. Staff will
hold in-person outreach interviews with
riders at stations with the highest ridership
during peak hours. People can also provide
online input at
www.caltrain.com/emusurvey or by calling
(650) 508-6499. For more information

munity input meetings visit www.cal-

Search continues for
missing Belmont man
Belmont police continue to investigate
the disappearance of Belmont resident Paul
Merrill, who went miss-
ing after leaving a gas
station in McCloud,
California in Siskiyou
County last Thursday.
Tips from the public
continue to come in,
with possible sightings
in the Mt. Shasta area,
of Merrill and his silver
1956 Mercedes 190SL
Convertible (license No. EZX295 CA),
according to Belmont police.
Belmont police are working with the
Siskiyou County Sheriffs Office and the
California Highway Patrol to follow up on
these reports. In addition to patrol units,
the CHP has provided support from its air
unit to aid in the search. A bulletin on
Merrills disappearance has been sent to
all law enforcement agencies in
California, Oregon and the western por-
tion of Nevada, according to Belmont
police.
Merrill left his Belmont home on
Wednesday, Sept. 3 for an overnight trip
to the Mt. Shasta area, where he had visit-
ed previously with his wife. Merrill was
supposed to return home on Thursday after
a brief stop in the East Bay. Family mem-
bers reported him missing to Belmont
police Thursday evening when he did not
return. Merrill was last seen Thursday at
the Chevron Station in McCloud, and
drove off in the direction of McCloud Lake
and has not been heard from, according to
police.
Anyone with information on Paul
Merrill is asked to call Belmont police at

The 21-year-old Redwood City woman
who prosecutors say set her ex-boyfriends
bed on fire while he slept pleaded no con-
test to felony arson and assault to avoid
trail for attempted murder.
In return for changing her plea, Rivera
faces up to five years in prison although a
judge could consider less. Both the court
and prosecutors agreed to the terms. Both
convictions are serious felonies that count
as criminal strikes in the future, District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said.
Rivera, who spent a stretch of time in a
state mental hospital after her arrest, was
also originally charged with burglary in
the fire of April 26, 2012. Around 3 a.m.
that day, Rivera allegedly knocked on the
first-floor bedroom window of the San
Mateo home where her 21-year-old
boyfriend lived with his parents and sister.
After he reportedly declined multiple
requests to talk about their relationship,
the man later told police he awoke around
5:45 a.m. to find his mattress on fire. He
screamed for his father who put out the
flames with a garden
hose. The victim later
told authorities he did
not immediately alert
police or firefighters
because he believed
Rivera was responsible
but didnt think he could
prove it. Two weeks
later, the man said he
received a text message
from a woman, later
identified as Riveras friend, who told him
the defendant was responsible for the fire
and had made several comments about
plans to hurt him.
In November 2012, the court found
Rivera incompetent to stand trial. In May
of this year, she was declared mentally
restored for prosecution and returned to
San Mateo County for prosecution.
She remains in custody on $500,000
bail pending an Oct. 16 sentencing hear-
i ng.

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK
Cooler weather on Monday
slowed the spread of a wildre that
forced the helicopter evacuation
of dozens of people from the
famous Half Dome rock in
Yosemite National Park.
We were pleasantly surprised
with high humidity and scattered
showers throughout the morn-
ing, said Kari Cobb, a park
ranger. So anytime you have
weather like that its going to
help suppress re activity.
The re, which had burned about
4 square miles of timberland, was-
nt threatening any buildings.
The park remained open, but some
campsites were closed.
About 120 reghters and 11
aircraft fought the blaze, which
may have erupted from embers of
a re sparked by lightning several
weeks ago, ofcials said.
Fireghters had monitored and
controlled that re before winds
and temperatures increased on
Sunday.
On Sunday, 100 people were
evacuated from Little Yosemite
Valley, and 80 to 85 were removed
by helicopter from the top of
5,000-foot Half Dome.
Rachael Kirk, 26, of Oakland,
said she and two friends had
reached an outcropping about 400
feet below the summit when they
saw the re explode out of con-
trol.
From the outcropping, called
the subdome, hikers must climb a
board-and-cable stairway up the
rock face to reach the top.
Kirk, who was hiking to Half
Dome for the rst time, said she
didnt want to go up the cables,
but a park employee insisted.
He said there was no way to
land the helicopter except on
top of Half Dome, Kirk said.
That was the moment every-
one felt scared.
One woman freaked out, she
said. They gave her a
makeshift harness and helped
her out on the cable.

SACRAMENTO Former Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger lifted the cur-
tain on his ofcial portrait Monday,
revealing a photograph-like giant
image of the onetime bodybuilder
standing in front of the official
California seal.
Schwarzenegger unveiled the portrait
at a ceremony in the state Capitol in
which he made a rare appearance in
Sacramento nearly four years after he
left ofce.
The oversized portrait of a youthful
Schwarzenegger, which will eventually
hang on the third oor, was painted by
Austrian artist Gottfried Helnwein, a
realist who previously illustrated Andy
Warhol and John F. Kennedy.
Schwarzenegger, a movie star before
he ran for governor in the chaotic recall
election of 2003, said he owes all his
successes in life to California, which
he called a mythical place where noth-
ing is impossible. As a boy growing
up in Austria, he dreamed about the
state, he said.

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Aperson of interest in the murders of ve
women in San Mateo County nearly 40 years
ago was identied Monday by the FBI.
Rodney Halbower, 66, who is serving time
in Oregon on an attempted murder charge, was
named by the FBI Monday as a person of
interest in the Gypsy Hill murders that took
the lives of ve women and teen girls between
January and April in 1976.
In March, investigators announced that
they had connected the case to a sixth woman,
whose body was found in Reno during the
same time period.
The FBI was then seeking a possible wit-
ness in the case a white man who was in his
late 20s to early 30s and living in San Mateo
County at the time of the murders driving a car
with Nevada license plates.
Investigators did not reveal Monday what
they think Halbowers connection to the mur-
ders is. The rst Peninsula victim was 18-
year-old Veronica Ronnie Cascio, who was
last seen Jan. 7, 1976, walking from her
home to a bus stop at Bradford Way and
Fairway Drive in Pacica.
Her body was found the next day at the
Sharp Park Golf Course.
Then on Jan. 24, 14-year-old Tanya
Blackwell disappeared.
She had left her home on Heathcliff Drive in
Pacica, reportedly to walk to a 7-Eleven
store at King Drive in South San Francisco.
Her body was located months later, on June
6, off Gypsy Hill Road in Pacica.
Next to disappear was 17-year-old Paula
Baxter, who was last seen leaving the parking
lot of Capuchino High School in San Bruno
on Feb. 4.
Early the next morning, her car, a bronze
1972 Chevrolet Vega station wagon, was
found parked on a nearby residential street,
and the day after that Baxters body was dis-
covered hidden in brush behind the Latter Day
Saints Church on Ludeman
Lane.
The next Peninsula vic-
tim was Carol Lee Booth,
also known as Beedy, a
26-year-old woman who
was last seen walking from
the bus stop on El Camino
Real at Arroyo Street in
South San Francisco
toward her home.
Booth disappeared on
March 15, but her body
wasnt recovered until May 4.
She was known to use a common shortcut
across an open area between Kaiser Hospital
and Mission Road near the former El Camino
Real Driving Range, and her body was found
hidden in some vegetation in that area.
The fth Peninsula victim was 19-year-old
Denise Lampe, who left Serramonte Mall in
Daly City on April 1 and returned to her vehi-
cle, never to be seen alive again.
Her body was found that evening inside her
vehicle, a 1964-1/2 Mustang, which was
parked in the same location at the mall,
between a Macys store and the Dennys
restaurant.
Sandwiched between two of the San Mateo
County murders was the killing of 19-year-old
University of Nevada-Reno student Michelle
Mitchell. At about 8:10 p.m. on Feb. 24,
1976, Mitchells vehicle broke down at the
intersection of Ninth Street and Evans Avenue
in Reno.
Someone assisted her in pushing the vehi-
cle, a yellow early 1970s Volkswagen Bug,
into a parking lot across from the universi-
tys agricultural building on Evans Street.
Her body was found later that night in the
garage of a nearby home.
Anyone with information about the case is
urged to call the FBIs tip line at (415) 553-
7400, then press 0 and advise that the call is
in regards to the Gypsy Hill cases. All calls
are condential.

WASHINGTON The U.S. job market
has steadily improved by pretty much every
gauge except the one Americans probably
care about most: Pay.
The unemployment rate has sunk to a
nearly normal 6.1 percent. Employers have
added a robust 2.5 million jobs the past 12
months. Layoffs have tumbled.
Yet most people are still waiting for a
decent raise. Fridays August jobs report
conrmed that average hourly pay has crept
up only about 2 percent a year since the
recession ended ve years ago barely
above ination and far below the gains in
most recoveries.
Just why pay has been so weak and when
it might strengthen are key issues for the
Federal Reserve in deciding when to raise
interest rates.
The trend has mystied analysts.
This is the primary economic and policy
puzzle facing policymakers right now: Why
have wages remained so low in the face of
an improving economy? said Joe
Brusuelas, chief economist at McGladrey, a
tax and accounting rm.
Some economists expect pay to pick up
eventually as the job market keeps improv-
ing. They think wages have lagged because
millions of people are still out of work
many of whom arent counted in the unem-
ployment rate because theyre no longer
looking for a job. But others say they fear
that pay has stagnated because of trends that
will persist even after the economy has
moved closer to full health.
They note that companies have been
making more use of temporary and part-
time workers, usually at lower pay, to
replace full-time permanent jobs. And
newer technologies have enabled business-
es to produce more with fewer employees.
A survey of Harvard Business School
graduates released Monday lends weight to
that notion. Nearly half the respondents
said theyd rather invest in technology than
in workers. Just over 40 percent expect
wages and benets to decline over the next
three years.

A San Mateo martial arts instructor
accused of inappropriately touching two
young female students pleaded no contest to
two counts of child molestation in return for
up to three years in prison.
Meng Ricky Wong, 38, of Redwood City,
may receive less time but will be required to
register as a sex offender for life after his
sentencing Nov. 19. Wong was originally
charged with four felony counts of molesta-
tion that carried a potential life sentence if
convicted of abusing
multiple victims.
Wong worked at the Tat
Wong Kung Fu Academy
on 43rd Avenue between
1999 and 2011 .
Prosecutors say he fon-
dled two girls, ages 9 and
11, at different times
between August 2010 and
October 2011. The girls
did not know each other.
In the rst instance, Wong allegedly took
the girl upstairs at the studio and touched her
breasts and buttocks.
The girl reported the incident but the lack
of corroboration led to no prosecution. In
October 2011, the second girl reported an
identical touching incident upstairs at the
studio.
After Wongs arrest, both girls and their
guardians sued him, the academy, its owner
and its parent company for failing to estab-
lish guidelines on interacting with minors
and keeping Wong employed despite the
initial allegation.
Wong is free from custody on a $100,000
bail bond pending his sentencing hearing.

SAN FRANCISCO A federal appeals
court in San Francisco waded again into the
debate over the constitutionality of gay
marriage, with attorneys for both sides
arguing over whether legalizing it would
harm children.
The three judges on the 9th Circuit Court
of Appeals two of whom have ruled in
previous cases in favor of gay rights
reserved many of their most pointed ques-
tions at the defenders of state bans in Idaho,
Nevada and Hawaii.
Judge Marsha Berzon appeared critical of
the attorney defending two of the bans, say-
ing he was sending a message that families
headed by same-sex couples were "second-
rate."
"You're sending a message that these are
less desirable families" she said. "That is
what you're doing. That is what you say
you're doing."
The hearing is the first time since it
declared California's gay marriage ban
unconstitutional that the 9th Circuit is lis-
tening to arguments over same-sex wed-
dings in a political and legal climate that's
vastly different than when it overturned
Proposition 8 in 2012. State and federal
court judges have been striking down bans
in more than a dozen states at a rapid rate
since a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling
last year.
Attorney Monte Neil Stewart faced tough
questions from Berzon as he defended
Idaho's ban.
Stewart told the panel that same-sex mar-
riage would undermine children's right to be
raised by a father and mother. Same-sex mar-
riage would undercut the message that a man
who fathers a child should get in a relation-
ship with the female mother, he said.

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama will go on the
offensive against the Islamic
State group with a broader coun-
terterror mission than he previ-
ously has been willing to
embrace, U.S. officials said
Monday. The new plan, however,
still wont commit U.S. troops to
a ground war against the brutal
insurgency and will rely heavily
for now on allies to pitch in for
what could be an extended cam-
paign.
Obamas more aggressive pos-
ture which officials say will
target Islamic State militants
comprehensively and not just to
protect U.S. interests or help
resolve humanitarian disasters
reflects a new direction for a pres-
ident who campaigned to end the
war in Iraq and has generally been
deeply reluc-
tant to use U.S.
military might
since he took
office in 2009.
A l m o s t
every single
county on
Earth has a role
to play in elim-
inating the
ISIL threat and the evil that it rep-
resents, Secretary of State John
Kerry told reporters Monday
night, using an acronym for the
Islamic State. He said nations
around the world are seeking to
defeat the militancy with a coali-
tion built to endure for the
months, and perhaps years, to
come.
The U.S. has already launched
more than 100 airstrikes against
militant targets in Iraq, including
a new series that the military said
killed an unusually large number
of Islamic State fighters. A
Central Command statement
Monday said the strikes hit tar-
gets near the Haditha Dam, and a
spokesman, Maj. Curtis Kellogg,
said 50 to 70 fighters were target-
ed and most were believed to have
been killed.
Now, after the beheadings of
two American freelance journal-
ists, Obama is considering
expanding the airstrikes cam-
paign into Syria, where the
Islamic State has a safe haven.
Obama has long avoided taking
military action in Syria, con-
cerned about indirectly assisting
President Bashar Assad and his
government in Damascus. But
White House spokesman Josh
Earnest suggested Monday that
the U.S. could be moving in that
direction, saying Obama was
willing to go wherever is neces-
sary to strike those who are
threatening Americans.

Al-Abadi requested an additional

Caltrain should
increase bicycle capacity
Editor,
Ive been commuting from Fourth
and King streets in San Francisco to
Palo Alto every day for three years.
While I love the newer trains, which
are the most convenient, Ive learned
to avoid them at all costs.
Even when I know I can get my bike
on, I nd it incredibly stressful to sit
comfortably in my seat watching fel-
low commuters at 22nd Street get
bumped and in turn get very angry at
the conductors. Obviously, the riders
anger is misplaced and its a tense sit-
uation for all parties, but the interac-
tion always makes me uncomfortable
and a bit guilty that I made the train
and will arrive at work at the time I
intended.
Ive adjusted my commute to times
when the older cars (read: more bike
space) are operating. My commute
times 90 minutes each way if I make
my intended train, but every bump, or
train I choose to skip, is more time
Im away from family, friends and
home. I hope Caltrain will consider
increased bike capacity so that those
of us trying to do something good for
ourselves and the planet can continue
to do so and that Caltrain remains a
viable commuting option as our popu-
lation expands.

Problems in San Mateo
Editor,
How many times has the city of San
Mateo heard exactly what Beverly
Kalinin stated in her letter to the edi-
tor (Station Park Green, in the Sept.
5 edition of the Daily Journal)? How
many citizens of San Mateo have
voiced those same facts over and over
again? Although it doesnt take a
genius to understand exactly what
Beverly is saying, it does take a City
Council and Planning Division to
ignore it. Both will be long gone
when the parking problem comes
back to bite them.
I wish I could say this is the only
problem that it not being considered
by the city, but again, the obvious is
being overlooked. The state of
California only has so much water,
and when they do have it, they dont
have enough lakes and reservoirs to
store it. We barely have enough for
the citizens who are here. We are in a
serious drought with no end in sight
and no solutions to solve the future
droughts.
How does the city of San Mateo
solve this problem? They build and
they build. San Mateo does not even
have enough water to solve the thirst
of its present citizens. Why would
they even consider a project like this
at a time like this? I know the answer;
its the almighty dollar they have a
problem turning down.
Citizens, this is not the rst project
of this size. Drive around your town,
and you will see that in the last few
(drought) years, San Mateo has OKd
and built several of these develop-
ments. Drive down Delaware Street
and San Mateo Drive and 20th Avenue;
it might scare you. One last thing,
turn off your televisions and your
computer long enough to look over
your city. It is your city, not those
people down in City Hall who work
for you. Dont let people like Beverly
be only one watching, or before you
know it, you will be living in Los
Angeles north.

altimore Ravens running
back Ray Rice savagely
attacked his girlfriend in an
Atlantic City casino, and dragged her
limp body out of the elevator nearly
unconscious. Thankfully, NFL
Commissioner Roger Goodell, react-
ing to public outcry, issued stricter
penalties for perpetrators of domestic
violence, players and staff alike: a
six-game suspension for rst time
offenses and a lifetime ban for any
incidents thereafter. Well done, Mr.
Goodell. After the release of a video
that showed details of the incident,
the Baltimore Ravens cut Rice
Monday and suspended him from the
NFL indenitely.
On Sunday, however, after his arrest
for domestic violence, Ray
McDonald, played the opening game
for the 49ers. Shockingly, the princi-
ple of due process trumped
Harbaughs no tolerance stance in his
statement, theres no place in the
49ers for anyone guilty of domestic
violence. Because McDonald hasnt
actually been proven guilty, he got to
play. While not playing judge or jury
for his player, Harbaugh could have
made a strong anti-violence statement
and held that a player facing such seri-
ous charges be temporarily suspended
pending a decision.
With all due respect
for due process, is
that what this is
really about? Or is
it a crisis of values
among the coaches
and bystanders of
the NFL? Is it a
reection of how
much more educating the general pub-
lic needs about the dynamics of
domestic violence? Is it that abuse
just doesnt stand up to prot? Amuch
stronger and earnest response is need-
ed from our football teams, their own-
ers and their coaches.
We know that domestic violence is
not an anger management issue and it
is entirely preventable. It is a pattern
of behavior wherein an individual
chooses to exert power and control
over their partner. And it is inexcus-
able. Of course, athletes perpetrating
domestic violence against their part-
ners is, unfortunately, disproportion-
ately prevalent relative to other men
when compared by age, gender and
class. And these are our role models.
Ravens Rices suspension was based
on circulation of a violent video.
What is unusual is, unfortunately, not
the conduct, but the fact that such vis-
ible evidence of the conduct was
available and went viral.
Lets see what happens when the due
process is complete. By then, as with
most batterers, particularly those who
have so much to lose, he will likely
have accused her of destroying his
career, possibly convinced her the
abuse was her fault or possibly
worse, threatened further violence to
her and their unborn child. After all,
we saw Rices wife in a joint press
conference apologize for her role in
violence that left her unconscious.
And because domestic violence cases
are among the most difcult to prose-
cute, we may never really know, in
McDonalds words, what kind of per-
son he is.
In any case, the message this week-
end is go ahead; beat on her; money
talks and the weight of history is cer-
tainly on your side.

Relationship Abuse), a full service

T
hank you, naked celebrity selfie scandal.
Finally, there is something more sexy than the
NSA to help fan the flames of outrage over pri-
vacy and an interesting reason to finally understand
whats up with this cloud.
Edward Snowden? Yawn. Jennifer Lawrence? Outrage!
This hacking of celebrity accounts to access private
nude photographs has essentially divided the public
into two camps those who shake their heads over
how far in the gutter weve fallen and those who took
it as a starting pistol shot to fire up the computer and
track the images down.
Regardless of the
divide, the buzz brings
up to deeply philosophi-
cal questions: Why the
heck are so many well-
known people playing
pin-up and is this cloud
thing really such a great
idea?
The cloud is obviously
a nebulous and nefarious
Big Brother puppetmas-
ter masquerading as
must-have technology
that promises eternal
data backup and instantaneous transfer to all electronic
devices. Imagine never having to worry about lost
photos of babies and girls nights or freedom from the
time suck of copying and downloading from one phone
to one tablet to another computer. All it costs is your
privacy. Im sure if the cloud could cackle, it would.
Also assuredly, somewhere past generations whose idea
of sending a naked selfie involved a Polaroid camera
and a stamped envelope are rolling over in their
graves. And cackling a bit themselves.
As the federal investigation into just who did what to
these stars, consider this a wake-up call to the idea that
even those photos one doesnt automatically post and
tweet should never be considered under lock and key. It
is also a good prodding to do a little inventory on the
off chance of one day becoming rich and famous or at
least interesting enough to attract some passing public
interest.
I think in this case my less-than-titillating photo
albums will finally pay off. The best anyone will find
is an overabundance of dog photos. Riley with his big
bat ears and paws crossed like an Olan Mills portrait
sitting or nesting among the couch pillows. Ollies
perpetual snaggle-toothed pout, with and without his
favorite squeaky pig, peering out the front window,
standing on his back legs like a meerkat.
Then theres the gallery of shots meant to make
recipients envious: mainly photos of cold beer bottles
on sandy beaches.
And the collection of Is this the right one? photos
taken mostly of electronic gadgets or in grocery store
aisles. I shudder to recall the days before a shopper
could instantly and remotely confirm with other house-
hold decision makers about the right brand of peanut
butter before purchase. Same goes for those eras when
one had to actually write something down rather than
photograph the wine label of a particularly yummy
bottle or the parking spot number at the BART st at i on.
The closest thing to an intimate photo a hacker will
find in my stash is perhaps a snapshot in a dressing
room mirror texted for a friendly second or third opin-
ion on those pants that looked so awesome on the
rack. Likely, though, a handful of Do these make me
look fat? photo stills will not be enough to rock the
Internet and cause Hugh Hefner to come calling.
I am perfectly happy to know that my phone and
computer contain nothing that I can imagine anybody
else wants. But I am not naive enough to think that if
there was such coveted material it would ever be
beyond illegal retrieval. Technology has become a
series of trade-offs between the information we want to
get and the information were willing to give up in
return. The only way to avoid those nude photos from
leaking is not to take them. For those who think oth-
erwise, the only thing they have in the cloud is their
head.

NEW YORK A retreat in oil and
energy stocks pulled the rest of the
U.S. stock market mostly lower
Monday.
Campbell Soup declined after the
company said its 2015 prots would
miss analysts expectations. Yahoo,
which owns a stake in Alibaba, jumped
in anticipation of the giant Chinese
technology company going public.
The Dow Jones industrial average
fell 25.94 points, or 0.2 percent, to
17, 111.42. The Standard & Poors 500
index lost 6.17 points, or 0.3 percent,
to 2,001.54 and the Nasdaq composite
added 9.39 points, or 0.2 percent, to
4,592.29.
Energy stocks were by far the
biggest drag on the market. The energy
component of the S&P 500 fell 1.6
percent, compared to the modest 0.3
percent decline in the main index.
Exxon Mobil, the worlds largest
publicly traded oil company, dropped
$1.49, or 1.5 percent, to $97.77. It
was the biggest loser among the Dows
30 members.
The decline in energy stocks was
linked to a recent sell-off in the price
of oil. Benchmark U.S. crude oil for
October delivery fell 63 cents, or 0.7
percent, to $92.66 a barrel, the lowest
price since January.
Oil prices have fallen for three days
straight as geopolitical worries in
Ukraine and particularly in Iraq have
eased. Also impacting crude oil was a
report out of China that showed manu-
facturing in the worlds second-largest
economy was slowing down.
The market is trading lower on this
subdued, weaker global outlook, said
Jack Ablin, chief investment strate-
gist at BMO Private Bank.
The three biggest decliners in the
S&P 500 were oil drilling and explo-
ration companies, which rely on high
oil prices to justify pulling crude oil
out of remote parts of the planet.
Newfield Exploration, Nabors
Industries, EOG Resources all fell 3
percent or more.
Some strategists say the decline in
oil prices is likely to be temporary.
I suspect oil cannot fall further than
$90 a barrel, said Paul Christopher, a
chief international investment strate-
gist at Wells Fargo Advisors, who
focuses on the oil market. Saudi
Arabia and other OPEC members will
start cutting production if oil contin-
ues to fall like this.
Another international concern for
investors is in Europe, where a drive
for Scottish independence seems to be
gaining momentum. Once considered a
far-ung idea, a recent poll by YouGov
showed rising support for a break from
the United Kingdom.
Scotlands economy is not large
enough to derail the regions econo-
my, but a breakup of the U.K. could
potentially be messy for investors,
strategists say. Which of the U.K.s
bonds would go to Scotland? Can
Scotlands economy function on its
own, while still using the British
pound? Who would take control of the
oil reserves north of Scotland?
A vote for independence or fear of
that outcome may roil nancial mar-
kets over the next two weeks, Bill
Stone, chief investment strategist at
PNC Asset Management, wrote in an e-
mail.
Stocks in London, particularly those
with links to Scotland, fell. Britains
FTSE 100 index lost 0.3 percent.
Investors also sold the British pound,
which fell to lowest level in nearly a
year.
Bond prices fell. The yield on the
10-year Treasury note rose to 2.47 per-
cent. In metals trading, the price of
gold fell $13 to $1,254.30 an ounce,
silver fell 20 cents to $18.96 an ounce
and copper was at at $3.17 a pound.
In other energy trading, Brent crude,
a benchmark for international crudes
imported by U.S. reners, slipped 62
cents to $100.20 a barrel in London.
Wholesale gasoline lost 2.15 cents to
$2.562 a gallon and natural gas gained
8.3 cents to $3.876 per 1,000 cubic
feet.

General Mills buying
mac and cheese maker Annies
NEWYORK Packaged food giant General Mills plans
to buy Annies, the maker of rabbit-shaped mac and
cheese, for $820 million, adding more natural and organ-
ic packaged offerings as consumers tastes change.
General Mills Inc., the company behind classic food
brands such as Pillsbury dough, Progresso soups, Yoplait
yogurts and Cheerios and Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal,
has been trying to cut cost and has tweaked its recipes as
sales stagnate.
Sales have suffered as Greek yogurt and breakfast sand-
wiches became popular options for the morning meal.
General Mills was slow to realize the growing demand for
Greek yogurt, which has more protein than regular
yogurt, but it has been adding some other options that it
hopes consumers will consider healthier. Those include
new Fiber One cookies with 5 grams of ber and 120 calo-
ries.
Southwest changing the look of its planes
DALLAS Southwest Airlines is putting a new paint
job on its planes, adding a splash of bright color as it
enters middle age and faces many changes.
The airline introduced its new livery Monday to a rally
of several hundred employees in a hangar at its headquar-
ters next to Dallas Love Field.
Blue is still the dominant color, but the planes will also
have red, yellow and blue swooshes on the tail and wing
tips and Southwest in big letters along the side of the
fuselage. The red belly is gone.
Its a bold look; its an updated look, declared CEO
Gary Kelly.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Apple is poised
to reveal its next big thing in a crucial
attempt to prove its technological
tastemakers still have the power to
mesmerize the masses.
The trend-setting company is
expected to rouse the still-slumbering
market for wearable computers with a
smartwatch or bracelet equipped to
monitor health, help manage homes
and even buy merchandise.
Apple is a late arrival to this rela-
tively new niche: several other compa-
nies already sell smartwatches that are
being greeted with widespread indiffer-
ence.
If any company can transform the
landscape, its likely to be Apple Inc.
after the company shifted the direction
of digital technology with the iPod,
iPhone and iPad. Other MP3 music
players, smartphones and tablet com-
puters were rst to market, but the
devices didnt enthrall consumers until
Apple imbued them with a sense of ele-
gance, convenience and wizardry.
It means more to us to get it right
than to be rst, Apple CEO Tim Cook
explained to analysts earlier this year.
Apple is likely to provide the rst
peek at its wearable device at a Tuesday
event in the same Silicon Valley audi-
torium where Apples late co-founder,
Steve Jobs, unveiled the industry-
shifting Mac computer 25 years ago.
Rumors have been swirling that U2,
one of Jobs favorite musical groups,
will perform live to promote its new
album, as well as Apples latest gad-
getry, which is likely to include an
iPhone with a larger screen.
As usual, Apple hasnt said whats on
tap, though the companys top execu-
tives have repeatedly promised major
breakthroughs without providing any
details.
The location suggests this will be a
historic event and the historic aspect
will be their movement into a new cat-
egory, predicted technology analyst
and longtime Apple watcher Tim
Bajarin.
Will Apple finally reveal its next big thing?

NEW YORK Twitter is taking its
users shopping.
The short messaging service began
testing a Buy button Monday that
lets some of its users make purchases
or donate money to charities without
leaving Twitter. Initial partners
include music stars Eminem and Brad
Paisley, retailers Home Depot and
Burberry and nonprofits The Nature
Conservancy and GLAAD.
After clicking the Buy button,
users are asked to enter their address
and credit card information. The order
is then sent to the merchant for deliv-
ery. The company said in a blog post
that users personal information will
be encrypted and saved on Twitter so
that they can buy things again without
re-entering their information.
The shopping feature comes as the
San Francisco-based company tries to
increase its user base and revenue,
most of which comes from advertis-
ing. It had 271 million average
monthly users at the end of June, up 24
percent from a year earlier.
Facebook, which has more than 1.3
billion users, started testing its own
Buy button in July.
Twitters button is only available
now for a small percentage of U.S.
users, but the company said that will
increase.
The shopping button could help
Twitter add another source of revenue
as the digital advertising market and
online shopping grow.

NEWYORK Unable to play in the U.S.
Open a year ago because of a doping sus-
pension, Marin Cilic is now the tourna-
ments champion.
Croatias Cilic won his rst Grand Slam
title by beating Japans Kei Nishikori 6-3,
6-3, 6-3 on Monday at Flushing Meadows,
using 17 aces including four in one game
and the same powerful groundstrokes
that helped him eliminate
Roger Federer in the
seminals.
This is (from) all the
hard work in these last
several years and espe-
cially this last year,
Cilic said during the on-
court ceremony, when he
kissed his silver trophy
and collected a check for
$3 million.
The 14th-seeded Cilic
prevented the 10th-seed-
ed Nishikori from
becoming the rst man
from Asia to win a major
singles championship.
Sorry I couldnt get a
trophy today, Nishikori
said, but for sure, next
time.
There hadnt been a
matchup between players making their
Grand Slam nal debuts at the U.S. Open
since 1997. Lopsided and lasting less than
two hours, this hardly qualied as a classic.
Both of us were pretty nervous in the
rst set, especially, Cilic acknowledged.
When we got ourselves going, it was a bit
better.

Burlingame running back Grifn Intrieri started the 2014 season with a bang, rushing for 176
yards and two long touchdowns 81 and 76 yards on just seven carries. He also had an
interception from his cornerback position.
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
With three senior starters in front of him,
Burlingame running back Grifn Intrieri was
essentially the Panthers No. 4 running back
in 2013. Intrieri made the most of him lim-
ited touches, however, scoring seven touch-
downs on just 28 carries.
Weve been blessed here over the years
with running backs, said Burlingame coach
John Philipopoulos. Every year it seems
like we get three or four guys who can play
the position.
This season, Intrieri, now a senior him-
self, came into the season as the No. 1 run-
ning back and he left no doubt about that in
the season opener Friday against
Capuchino. On just seven carries, Intrieri
rushed for 176 yards and two touchdowns.
In addition, he also had an interception on
defense, broke up another pass and served as
the Panthers punt and kickoff returner as
well.
For his efforts, Intrieri is the Daily
Journals Athlete of the Week.
He was that way on the JVs as well. No
matter what level hes played, no matter the
reps, hes excelled, Philipopoulos said.
He runs with pretty good power, good
vision, good ability to start and stop. He
pretty much did it all for us (Friday).
Looking back at the game, why didnt I give
him the ball more?
The answer is: because he didnt have to.
After just four carries, Intrieri had 159 yards
and both his touchdowns. After the
Burlingame defense forced Capuchino to
punt on its rst possession, the Panthers
took over at their own 19-yard line. Intrieri
took the opening handoff on a y sweep to
his left, got to the edge of the line, picked
up a couple blocks and bolted down the left
sideline for an 81-yard score.
After Capuchino tied the score following a
13-play, 72-yard drive, Intrieri went to work
again. After catching a pass for four yards,
Intrieri took a handoff, found a gaping hole
on the right side of the line of scrimmage,
jitter-bugged his way through the wash
before galloping away for a 76-yard touch-
Intrieri off to fast start

A
t this time of year, plenty of
people ask me who I think will
be the top football teams in the
county this season. Friday, my reply was,
Its only the rst week.
While Im not ready to make predic-
tions as to which team will win Peninsula
Athletic League, West Catholic Athletic
League or Central Coast Section champi-
ons, I think I have a pretty good idea of
what to expect when it comes to football
in San Mateo County.
Friday, I got to watch a Bay Division
team (Burlingame), an Ocean squad
(Aragon) and a pair of Lake Division
teams (Capuchino
and Jefferson). If
nothing else, all
three of the PALs
divisions should be
competitive to the
end.
After watching
Capuchino during its
33-14 loss to
Burlingame, its
clear the Mustangs
are on the come and
will probably be a
factor in the Lake
Division. They denitely made the
Panthers work until the end and trailed
only 20-7 after three quarters. The fact
Capuchino wasnt absolutely manhandled
by Burlingame bodes well for the
Mustangs.
Jefferson may not be ready to compete
for a Lake title this season, but the
Indians should be a lot more competitive
this season. They denitely have some
playmakers and athletes on the team and,
despite a 34-7 loss to Aragon, even Dons
coach Steve Sell was impressed by Jeffs
moxie, telling me, These guys are a lot
better.
Last year, Aragon put a 50-0 beating on
Jefferson.
In fact, the Lake Division could be
once again the most competitive divi-
sion in the PAL as Carlmont, El Camino

BALTIMORE Ray Rice was let go by
the Baltimore Ravens on Monday and sus-
pended indenitely by the NFL after a video
was released showing the running back
striking his then-ancee in February.
The grainy video, released by TMZ
Sports, shows Rice and Janay Palmer in an
elevator at an Atlantic City casino. Each
hits the other before Rice knocks Palmer off
her feet and into a railing. Months ago, a
TMZ video showed Rice dragging Palmer,
now his wife, from the
elevator at the Revel
casino, which closed
Sept. 2.
Earlier Monday, the
Ravens said they never
saw the new video. Hours
later, they sent out a one-
sentence release:
The Baltimore Ravens
terminated the contract
of RB Ray Rice this afternoon.
The action represented a complete rever-
sal for the team, even though an Atlantic
City police summons stated that Rice
caused bodily injury to Janay Palmer,
specically by striking her with his hand,
rendering her unconscious.
The Ravens had used words like respect
and proud in referring to Rice following
his arrest.
When the NFL announced Rices two-
game suspension for domestic violence on
July 24, general manager Ozzie Newsome
said, We respect the efforts Ray has made
to become the best partner and father he can
be. That night was not typical of the Ray
Rice we know and respect. We believe that
he will not let that one night dene who he
is, and he is determined to make sure some-
thing like this never happens again.
Ravens coach John Harbaugh was sched-
uled to talk to the media on Monday night
following a practice.
In late July, Harbaugh said, The thing I
appreciate about it is how Ray has handled
it afterward by acknowledging it was wrong
and hell do everything he can do to make it
right. Thats what you ask for when some-
one does a wrong thing. So, Im proud of
him for that.

ALAMEDA The offseason plans to beef
up both lines are still a work in progress for
the Oakland Raiders.
The revamped offensive line was unable to
create running holes or protect rookie Derek
Carr well enough to throw down eld. The
overhauled defensive line got run on easily
by Chris Johnson and Chris Ivory and spent
too much time chasing Geno Smith.
It all added up to Oaklands 11th loss in its
past 12 openers and 14th straight defeat in
the Eastern time zone as the New York Jets
won 19-14 on Sunday.
The Raiders were unable to generate any
offense against a stout New York front seven.
They were held to 25 yards on 15 carries and
had just 72 yards passing until scoring on
their nal drive.
With the Jets rushing for 212 yards on the
day, the game was a complete mismatch in
the trenches.
I felt like, and still feel like, the line of
scrimmage can be a plus for us, coach
Dennis Allen said Monday. It obviously
wasnt in that game and weve got to be bet-
ter in that area.
The Raiders bulked up on the offensive line
by drafting left guard Gabe Jackson and sign-
ing right guard Austin Howard as a free agent.
Donald Penn was also signed as a left tackle
and the coaching staff hoped that retooled
group could anchor the offense.
But new running back Maurice Jones-Drew
had little room to run and Carr was forced to
get rid of the ball quickly, limiting the teams
downeld chances. Only three of Carrs 20
completions traveled more than 10 yards
downeld.
They brought a lot of guys blitzing,
receiver Rod Streater said. They would leave
receivers wide open, it was just us not exe-
cuting the play. They played the underneath
routes pretty good. I felt like we could have
attacked them different ways.
Carr fared all right in his debut game, espe-
cially considering he was a rookie going on
the road against one of the top defensive
masterminds in Rex Ryan.
He completed 20 of 32 passes with two
touchdowns but was held to 151 yards. Carr
was sacked twice but did not turn the ball
over.
I thought he handled himself really well
with a lot of different looks and obviously
there were some mistakes that were made, but
youre talking about a rookie quarterback
going and playing a game against a Rex
Ryan-coached defense in New York City,
Allen said. Its about as big as it gets, and I
thought he held himself pretty well.
The defense had its own problems as the
Jets rushed for 212 yards, including a game-
sealing 71-yard touchdown by Ivory in the
fourth quarter.
Smith also was able to complete 23 of 29
passes as Oakland was too often in soft cov-
erage without generating pressure on the
quarterback.
With a new defensive line featuring free-
agents Justin Tuck, LaMarr Woodley and
Antonio Smith, the Raiders did not need to
blitz nearly as often as they did a year ago.
But they still struggled to get to Smith and
allowed him to escape trouble during a few
times that they did generate pressure.
The defense did manage to hold the Jets
under 20 points by forcing two turnovers and
capitalizing on some dropped passes and
costly New York penalties.
Raiders lose battle of trenches in opener
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTACLARA So much for all that talk of
distractions, letdowns and doubts surrounding
San Franciscos longtime dominant defense.
One impressive rst-half sequence handled all of
that.
The 49ers made interceptions on three
straight possessions in a 28-17 win at Dallas
on Sunday, and forced four turnovers in all. All
that on a day both starting cornerbacks
Tramaine Brock and Chris Culliver and rook-
ie nickel cornerback Jimmie Ward were injured.
Perrish Cox again proved a reliable replace-
ment.
Everyone thats been talking about our
defense, about how we wont be as good and
what not, I dont get caught up in all that, said
linebacker Patrick Willis, who had one of the
picks. The only thing that matters to me is
how we perform on the eld on game day with
whoever is on the eld. Those guys that arent
with us, they are certainly missed and hopefully
theyll be back soon, but right now, we just
have to focus on those guys that are out there.
The offense thrived, too, even with two ll-
ins on the offensive line in Joe Looney and
Jonathan Martin. The Niners 21 rst-quarter
points on all of four plays were their most
since 1995, and tight end Vernon
Davis caught a pair of touchdown passes from
Colin Kaepernick.
The 49ers have won their opener in all four
seasons under coach Jim Harbaugh. Now, they
will prepare to make their regular-season debut
at the $1.2 billion Levis Stadium on Sunday
night against the Bears.
Sure, the defending Super Bowl champion
Seattle Seahawks rolled to an impressive sea-
son-opening victory against Green Bay. And
their biggest rival, San Francisco, was arguably
just as good to get things started in what should
be another thrilling NFC West race between
these two organizations determined to get back
to the Super Bowl.
All afternoon, the 49ers wreaked havoc on
Tony Romo, who made a forgettable return
eight months after back surgery. Justin Smith
sacked him twice, while Ahmad Brooks added
another sack. Cox picked off his rst pass in
four years.
The four rst-half takeaways were the teams
most in a half since getting ve in the rst half
on Dec. 14, 2009, against Arizona.
Very opportunistic I thought our defense
was, great veteran savvy play by Patrick
Willis, Harbaugh said Monday. He does it
continually with numbing repetition. Hes one
of the best ever.
Brock injured a toe and Culliver sustained a
concussion. Ward also must go through the
leagues concussion protocol this week given
his symptoms.
As has been the case so many times over the
past year, the 49ers have found a way to keep
winning even when second-stringers have been
forced into regular action. Linebacker Aldon
Smith is serving a nine-game suspension, and
All-Pro linebacker NaVorro Bowman is expect-
ed to miss at least half the season recovering
from left knee surgery following a devastating
injury in the NFC championship game loss at
Seattle in January.
On the offensive side, rookie running back
Carlos Hyde proved he can take some pressure
off Frank Gore, and ran for a 4-yard score.
The 31-year-old Gore became the 29th NFL
running back to reach 10,000 yards rushing.
Theres no shelf life in football players,
Harbaugh said in praising Gore and Justin
Smith. Thats something I learned at an early
age from my mom, never to believe in expira-
tion dates. She taught us that very early Pay
no attention to the expiration date on that can
or that milk, or that bread.
NOTES: The 49ers released RB LaMichael
James and re-signed WR Kassim Osgood.
Harbaugh wouldnt go into details about the
decision regarding James, a second-round draft
pick in 2012. ... In the wake of Ray Rices
release by the Ravens, Harbaugh didnt waver
from his stance that the 49ers will let due
process play out for DTRay McDonald, arrested
on suspicion of domestic violence Aug. 31
while celebrating his 30th birthday.

Penn State football got out from under the
most severe on-eld sanctions imposed on it
two years ago over the Jerry Sandusky child
abuse scandal, learning Monday that the
NCAAwill allow it to compete in this years
postseason and that all scholarships will
return in 2015.
The surprise announcement, linked to
progress the school has made reforming its
athletic program, moved the university a step
farther away from the fallout from Sandusky,
the former assistant coach convicted of sexu-
al abuse of 10 boys, including acts at univer-
sity facilities.
The scandal badly tarnished what had been
one of college sports most respected pro-
grams, led to charges of a criminal cover-up
against former university administrators
Graham Spanier, Gary Schultz and Tim Curley
whose cases are still pending and the r-
ing of Hall of Fame coach Joe Paterno.
Penn State had been halfway through a four-
year postseason ban handed down during the
summer of 2012. Some of the 40 scholarships
the program was originally docked were
restored earlier than expected a year ago.
The university still must pay a $60 million
ne, vacate 111 wins that came under Paterno,
plus another victory under interim coach Tom
Bradley, and the school will remain under
monitoring.
The decision by the NCAAs Executive
Committee followed a recommendation by
former U.S. Sen. George Mitchell, whose sec-
ond annual report as Penn States athletics
integrity monitor concluded the university
was in compliance with a 2012 agreement and
consent decree.
Senator Mitchells report and recommen-
dations, along with the actions taken by the
NCAA today, are a recognition of the hard
work of many over the past two years to make
Penn State a stronger institution, said Penn
State President Eric Barron, who took over in
February.
Mitchell said the school had made progress
toward implementing a new human resources
system, fostering an ethical culture and
improving security at its sports facilities. His
own ve-year oversight role, scheduled to
continue to 2017, may end earlier as a result of
the progress that has been made, he said.
Mitchell said his recommendation was
focused on aspects of the penalties that affect
student-athletes, many of whom stayed at
Penn State despite the ability to transfer with-
out penalty.
In light of Penn States responsiveness to
its obligations and the many improvements it
has instituted, I believe these student-athletes
should have the opportunity to play in the
postseason should they earn it on the eld
this year, Mitchell wrote.
His 58-page report said incidents involving
the football team this year included only
minor infractions.
In State College, junior kinesiology major
Daniel Zambanini said seeing the news on tel-
evision gave him a moment of shock.
The sanctions kind of held the Sandusky
scandal like it was a big black cloud that hung
over the university because every year, every
time they mentioned Penn State, they men-
tioned the sanctions, Zambanini said.
He said removal of the postseason ban just
takes that weight off our shoulders and you
can kind of just be Penn State once more.
The penalties against Penn State were
unprecedented in many ways and, because of
that, not well-received by many in college
sports. While lack of institutional control
was cited, Penn States missteps had nothing
to do with competition and the areas that usu-
ally fall under the NCAAs jurisdiction.
The biggest problem I had was the effect
on the student athletes in the program, said
former Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe, who
worked in NCAA enforcement during the
1980s, including on the SMU football death
penalty case. They (Penn States players)
werent involved in a program that was cheat-
ing against their rivals and now all of sudden
theyre not able to participate in postseason.
The NCAA cutting the penalties down is
also unusual. Beebe and Mike Gilleran, a
sports law and ethics professor at Santa Clara
University who worked in NCAAenforcement
during the 1970s and 80s, said they were con-
cerned the latest move would set another
precedent.
So what happens now when one of your
old schools, Gilleran said, referring to
Beebes time in the Big 12, gets whacked?
OK, well take that penalty with the under-
standing that we will be model citizens and we
will expect the treatment that Penn State
got.
Beebe said rolling back the sanctions gives
the appearance of the NCAAacknowledging it
might have overreached by getting involved
with the Sandusky scandal.
My rst blush is I dont know how it could
be perceived differently, he said. Id be very
curious to dive into (the NCAAs) rationale.
On Friday, the NCAAsaid in a Pennsylvania
state court ling it is willing to let the state
government control the $60 million ne
Penn State is paying under the consent decree.
The NCAA wants the judge to dismiss a law-
suit led by state ofcials seeking to enforce a
2013 state law that requires the money remain
in the state.
If the judge agrees, the NCAA said it also
will move to end a federal lawsuit against Gov.
Tom Corbett and others that challenges that
same law.
Penn State went 15-9 during the rst two
seasons of the sanctions under coach Bill
OBrien, who was hired to replace Paterno.
Paterno was the winningest coach in major
college football history when he was red not
long after Sandusky, his former defensive
coordinator, was charged in November 2011.
Paterno died in January 2012 and lost his
record when the NCAAvacated those 111 vic-
tories
NCAA lifts Penn States postseason ban
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO Tyler Flowers hit a solo
home run to tie the game in the ninth inning
and then another in the 12th to give the
Chicago White Sox a 5-4 victory over the
Oakland Athletics on Monday night.
Flowers ended the game with a shot off of
Jesse Chavez (8-8) over the left-eld fence
with one out in the 12th for the rst winning
homer of his career. The White Sox were a
strike away from a loss when Flowers con-
nected against Eric O'Flaherty in the ninth.
Oakland closer Sean Doolittle was unavail-
able because of an intercostal strain.
Javy Guerra (2-3) pitched two scoreless
innings for the victory.
Oakland lost for the ninth time in 11
games but remained atop the AL wild-card
race.
The Athletics scored a run against Eric
Surkamp in the eighth to take a 4-3 lead.
Pinch-hitter Alberto Callaspo started the
rally with a walk, and after pinch-runner
Billy Burns stole second, Coco Crisp hit a
soft single that Dayan Viciedo played pas-
sively in left eld. Sam Fuld followed with a
well-executed bunt that scored Burns from
third.
The Athletics had a runner on third and no
outs in the ninth, but Ronald Belisario
induced Nate Freiman to hit into a double
play that killed the threat.
Oakland starter Sonny Gray pitched effec-
tively for seven innings but didn't gure in
the decision. The right-hander gave up three
runs two earned four hits and three
walks.
Chicago counterpart Hector Noesi took a
one-hitter and a 2-0 lead into the fth inning,
which Derek Norris opened with a single.
Josh Reddick followed with a home run to
right eld, and Jed Lowrie did the same on the
next pitch. It marked the fourth time Oakland
has hit back-to-back homers this season.
The home runs were the 24th and 25th off
Noesi this season, giving him the league
lead in the category. The right-hander
allowed four hits and one walk in 6 1-3
innings.
Fuld protected the 3-2 lead in the bottom
half, when the 5-foot-10 left elder went
above the fence to rob Alexei Ramirez of a
solo homer.
Conor Gillapsie tied it 3-3 with a solo
homer in the sixth.
The White Sox broke out to a 2-0 lead with-
out the benet of a hit in the rst, which
Adam Eaton and Ramirez began with consec-
utive walks. One out later, rst baseman
Brandon Moss couldn't handle Gillaspie's
bouncer for an error that allowed a run. Awild
pitch moved the runners before Avisail
Garcia hit a sacrice y.
Trainers room
At hl et i cs: Doolittle reported no com-
plications after he threw 20 pitches off a
mound. The left-hander is scheduled to pitch
to batters on Wednesday, and barring a set-
back, he might come off the DL the next
day. ... O'Flaherty tested his back before the
game and felt well enough for bullpen duty.
... C John Jaso will consult with concus-
sion expert Dr. Micky Collins in Pittsburgh
on Wednesday. If cleared to play, the veteran
is likely to come back as a pinch-hitter and
designated hitter, although a return to the
eld remains possible later this month.
Whi te Sox: 1B Paul Konerko remains
out indenitely because of a fractured left
hand. He hopes to return before the end of
the season, which will be his last before
retirement.
Up next
In a matchup of left-handers, the Athletics
will send Jon Lester (13-10, 2.54) to the
mound against John Danks (9-10, 5.12) on
Tuesday night.

A day after Harbaughs comments, Rice
acknowledged in a news conference that his
actions that night were inexcusable. But the
Ravens never took action against him until
after the second video was released.
The NFL, which has been working hard to
promote the game to women, also took action
after the explicit video was released.
Commissioner Roger Goodell announced
that, based on the new video evidence, Rice
has been suspended indenitely.
We requested from law enforcement any and
all information about the incident, including
the video from inside the elevator, NFL
spokesman Greg Aiello said Monday morn-
ing. That video was not made available to us
and no one in our ofce has seen it until
today.
Goodell indicated as much on Aug. 1 when
during the Pro Football Hall of Fame induc-
tion weekend.
When were going through the process of
evaluating the issue and whether there will be
discipline, you look at all of the facts that you
have available to us, Goodell said. Law
enforcement normally has more ... informa-
tion, facts, than we have. Well get as much as
we possibly can.
Rices lawyer, Michael Diamondstein,
declined to comment when contacted by The
Associated Press.
Rice, 27, stood to make $4 million this
year.
He had been charged with felony aggravated
assault in the case, but in May he was accept-
ed into a pretrial intervention program that
allowed him to avoid jail time and could lead
to the charge being purged from his record.
After Goodell drew criticism not being
tough enough on Rice, in a letter to all 32 NFL
owners in August he wrote, My disciplinary
decision led the public to question our sincer-
ity, our commitment, and whether we under-
stood the toll that domestic violence inicts
on so many families. I take responsibility
both for the decision and for ensuring that our
actions in the future properly reect our val-
ues.
I didnt get it right, he added. Simply put,
we have to do better. And we will.
First-time offenders now face a six-game
suspension.
Rice began his suspension Sunday, when
the Ravens opened their season with a 23-16
loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He was sched-
uled to return after Thursday nights game
against Pittsburgh.
He leaves the Ravens as the second-leading
rusher in franchise history, behind only Jamal
Lewis. Athree-time Pro Bowl selection, Rice
is the teams career leader in total yards from
scrimmage (9,214) and is the only player in
Ravens history to rush for 1,000 yards in four
consecutive seasons.
But those are mere numbers, and his actions
in that elevator shed a new light on him.

RICE
and Mills all looked dominant in their
openers over the weekend, beating their
opponents by a combined score of 111-6.
Carlmont pounded Yerba Buena 47-0, El
Camino crushed Washington-SF 38-6 and
Mills shut out San Jose 26-0.
The Ocean Division could be a three-team
race between the three San Mateo schools:
Aragon, Hillsdale and San Mateo. Both the
Dons and Bearcats opened with wins, while
the Knights were a two-point conversion
away from beating Saratoga, rallying from
a 28-21 decit in the nal minutes.
Hillsdale found the end zone on the nal
play of regulation to cut the Falcons lead
to 28-27, but the Knights eschewed the
extra point and probable overtime to go for
the win.
San Mateo, meanwhile, looked strong in
a 27-20 win over Gunn.
The Bay Division could be a wide-open
affair. Burlingame, Menlo School and
Sacred Heart Prep all opened with wins,
while Sequoia, Menlo-Atherton and Terra
Nova fell.
Of those three losses, only M-As was
lopsided, as North Coast Section power
Campolindo hung a 35-3 loss on the Bears.
Sequoia and Terra Nova, on the other hand,
were one play away from winning. The
Cherokees lost to Palo Alto on a last-
minute eld goal, 30-27, while the Tigers
were an offensive penalty away from at the
very least tying the score against Bishop
ODowd. Seven turnovers and 15 penalties
certainly didnt help Terra Novas chances
in a 28-22 loss.
So who will win division titles? I still
dont know, but after only a week, Im will-
ing to say it should be an exciting ride to
the end of the season.

SAN FRANCISCO The 11-judge panel
that will hear Barry Bonds latest appeal of
his obstruction of justice conviction
includes ve judges who ruled the federal gov-
ernments seizure of baseball drug-testing
samples and records a decade ago was illegal.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said
Monday the limited en banc panel that will
hear oral arguments on Sept. 18 includes
Chief Judge Alex Kozinski along with Circuit
Judges Consuelo M. Callahan, William A.
Fletcher, Michelle T. Friedland, Susan P.
Graber, Jacqueline H. Nguyen, Diarmuid F.
OScannlain, Johnnie B. Rawlinson,
Stephen Reinhardt. N. Randy Smith and Kim
McLane Wardlaw.
Kozinski wrote the opinion for the majori-
ty in 9-2 decisions in 2009 and 2010 that the
seizure of the 2003 samples from Quest
Diagnostics and records from
Comprehensive Drug Testing was illegal.
Fletcher, Graber and Wardlaw concurred, and
Callahan concurred in part and dissented in
part.
That decision overturned OScannlains
opinions for a three-judge panel that voted 2-
1 in 2006 and 2008 to largely uphold the
seizures.
Bonds, baseballs career home run leader,
was convicted in 2011 of one count of
obstruction of justice for his 2003 testimony
to a grand jury investigating the illegal dis-
tribution of performance-enhancing drugs by
the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative. The
jury failed to reach verdicts on three counts
charging Bonds with making false state-
ments, and the government later dismissed
those charges.

Defending Northern California
Division III champion Sacred
Heart Prep began its 2014 season
with a 32-20 win over Leland-San
Jose Saturday afternoon.
The Gators racked up 424 yards
of offense 292 on the ground
and 132 through the air but the
defense allowed 20 points for only
the fth time in the last 29 games.
The Gators and Chargers were
tied at 14 after the rst quarter, but
while the SHP offense went on to
score a touchdown a quarter the rest
of the way, the defense held Leland
in check in the second and third
quarters and allowed only one
other score in the fourth quarter.
The Gators ground attack was
paced by Lapitu Mahoney and
Ryan Tinsley, who combined for
148 yards on 29 carries. All told,
six different runners had ve car-
ries or more. JR Hardy, Andrew
Robinson and Mahoni all rushed
for a score.
Quarterback Mason Randall had
a strong 2014 debut, completing
11 of 18 passes for 132 yards and a
touchdown.
Tinsley led the receiving corps
with four catches for 81 yards and a
score. Mitch Martella added three
catches for 21 yards.

Menlo College picked up its rst
win of the 2014 season, beating
NCAA Division II squad Simon
Fraser of British Columbia,
Canada 31-24.
Menlos record is now 1-2.
There were ve lead changes in
the fourth quarter, but Menlo took
the lead with a Nate Dodson to DJ
Jones 12-yard scoring pass with
just over a minute to play. The
defense then weathered a last-
minute drive from Simon Fraser,
with the potential tying score
coming up short.
Jones had a breakout game,
accounting for 200 yards of
offense. He caught six passes for
136 yards and a pair of touch-
downs, rushed for 18 yards on
three carries and had 26 return
yards.
Defensively, the Oaks allowed
333 yards of offense to Simon
Fraser a marked improvement
that saw the team allow nearly
1,200 yards combined to their rst
two opponents.
Defensive back Gabe Deol had a
huge game with 11 tackles and an
interception. Fellow defensive
back Jake DuFault nished with
six tackles, a pick and a fumble
recovery.
The Oaks have the rst of two

Open without Djokovic, Federer or Rafael
Nadal, who won the U.S. Open in 2013 but
is sidelined now by a wrist injury. That trio
had won 34 of the past 38 major titles, but
this was the second of this season that elud-
ed them.
Some, including Cilic, had seen Stan
Wawrinkas victory at the Australian Open
in January as an indication that the next tier
was about to get a crack at the hardware.
Twelve months ago, Cilic missed the U.S.
Open while serving a four-month ban after
testing positive for a stimulant at a tourna-
ment in Germany in May 2013. The
International Tennis Federation initially
sought a two-year punishment, but Cilic
wound up with a shortened suspension on
appeal. He said he ingested the substance
unintentionally via a glucose tablet bought
at a pharmacy and calls the process that led
to his penalty unfair.
Cilic, whose only previous trip as far as
the seminals at a major came at the 2010
Australian Open, used the forced break from
competition to improve his game. And that
work was on full display the past two weeks
particularly Monday, under thick gray
clouds and in a strong breeze.
The 6-foot-6 (1.98-meter) Cilic, who is
25, and the 5-10 (1.78-meter) Nishikori,
24, each is coached by a guy with a Grand
Slam title: 2001 Wimbledon champion
Goran Ivanisevic, the last Croatian man to
win a major, works with Cilic; 1989 French
Open champion Michael Chang works with
Nishikori.
My team has brought something special
to me, especially Goran, Cilic said. The
most important thing that he brought to me
was joy in tennis, and always having fun.
And I think I enjoyed my best tennis ever
here and played the best ever in my life.
The Arthur Ashe Stadium articial lights
were on and the stands were mostly empty
when the players walked out to the court at 5
p.m. which was 6 a.m. in Japan, but did
not prevent folks there from gathering to
watch the popular Nishikori on TV.
One indication of how far these two men
have come: Their two previous U.S. Open
meetings were in the second round in 2010,
won by Nishikori, and the third round in
2012, won by Cilic.
This time, there was never really any
intrigue.
Cilic won 19 of the last 20 points he
served in the opening set, helped by three
aces at up to 134 mph (216 kph). The
biggest problem for Nishikori, really, was
there were not many extended groundstroke
exchanges and even when there were, he
tended to lose them.
He was off, whether because of the wind,
the accumulated fatigue from a pair of four-
hour-plus victories over No. 3 Wawrinka
and No. 5 Milos Raonic, or perhaps know-
ing what was at stake for him, his country
and his continent. Cilic wound up with
twice as many winners, 38-19.
In the nal set, Nishikori nally broke
for the only time, but that wasnt enough.
Still trailing 4-2, he had three other break
points, but one was erased by an ace and on
the others, Nishikori slapped second-serve
returns into the net an escape Cilic would
later call lucky.
But good fortune is not all Cilic credited
for his career-dening triumph.
For all the other players working hard,
this is a big sign, a big hope, Cilic said,
that if youre working hard, things are
going to pay off.

Marin Cilic reaches for a return against Kei Nishikori during the U.S. Open final Monday.
Bonds was convicted for his response
when asked whether Greg Anderson, his per-
sonal trainer and a longtime friend, ever gave
him "anything that required a syringe to
inject yourself with?"
Thats what keeps our friendship, Bonds
said during a meandering reply. I was a
celebrity child, not just in baseball by my
own instincts. I became a celebrity child
with a famous father. I just dont get into
other peoples business because of my
fathers situation, you see.
The conviction was upheld last September
in a unanimous decision by Circuit Judges
Mary M. Schroeder, Michael Daly Hawkins
and Mary H. Murguia.
The statement served to divert the grand
jurys attention away from the relevant
inquiry of the investigation, which was
Anderson and BALCOs distribution of
steroids and PEDs, Schroeder wrote. The
statement was therefore evasive.
The three-judge panels opinion was set
aside in July after a majority of the 9th
Circuits active judges voted for the limited
en banc rehearing.
Bonds lawyers argue the answer that led to
the conviction was truthful. They are basing
part of their appeal on a 1973 U.S. Supreme
Court case, Bronston v. U.S., that declared in
a perjury case a jury should not be permitted
to engage in conjecture whether an unrespon-
sive answer, true and complete on its face,
was intended to mislead or divert.Bonds was
sentenced to two years of probation, 250
hours of community service, a $4,000 ne
and 30 days of home connement.

down and a 14-7 Burlingame lead.
Those two long ones, they were pretty
clean (execution). We thought coming into
the game ... he had the potential to do that
more than once, Philipopoulos said. His
second long run, he was playing fullback.
There was some decent blocking up front and
that was the end of it.
Intrieri had only one carry after halftime,
but like years past, Burlingame proved its no
one-trick pony. Leipeli Palu had four of his
eight carries in the second half on his way to
64 yards rushing. Chi Li Tang had all eight of
his carries and 39 yards over the nal two quar-
ters as well.
All told, Burlingame rushed for 277 yards.
We have ve or six guys, again, who can
play, Philipopoulos said. But when you see
us getting into tighter games, its going to be
a natural inclination to want to give the ball
to Grifn.
As Grifn showed last season, however, he
is far from just a one-way player. With less
than four minutes to play in the rst half,
Intrieri stepped in front of a pass from his cor-
nerback spot, picked off a Tony Pellegrini
pass and returned it about 30 yards to the
Capuchino 39, setting up the Panthers third
score of the afternoon. Intrieri also returned a
kickoff 17 yards in the second quarter as well.
Add it all up and Intrieri nished the game
with 206 yards of total offense.
The thing for him, the coming year, is
staying healthy. He is doing so many things
(for our team) we have to pick our spots and
be smart. We want to make sure we preserve
him as well as we can, Philipopoulos said.
Hes a very integral part of what were trying
to do in every phase of the game.

Honor roll
By Noah Trister
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT Matthew Stafford was at his
best when improvising and that alone may
be a sign of improvement.
Stafford threw two early touchdown passes
to Calvin Johnson, and Detroit beat the New
York Giants 35-14 on Monday night in Jim
Caldwells rst game as Lions coach. It was a
bright start for the Lions and their quarterback
after the team collapsed down the stretch in
2013 in part because of Staffords
turnovers.
I dont work on my moves a lot during prac-
tice, but I know I have to be better with my feet
this year so that we can keep plays alive,
Stafford said. On both of the touchdown pass-
es to Calvin, the offensive line got me a lot of
time, and he was able to uncover himself and
nd somewhere open.
The Lions intercepted Eli Manning twice in
their rst Monday night opener since 1971.
Stafford went 22 of 32 for 346 yards, and
Johnson had seven catches for 164 yards.
Manning was 18 of 33 for 163 yards and a
touchdown for the Giants, who started 0-6 last
season and never led in their 2014 opener.
No excuses. We played very poorly,
Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. We dont
have a lot to be proud of here. Couldnt move
the ball, couldnt stop them, turned the ball
over, got into that business again. Got a punt
blocked, so you name it. It was a nightmare
performance.
Stafford scrambled to his right and threw
deep to Johnson on the games rst drive, and
defensive backs Dominique Rodgers-
Cromartie and Stevie Brown appeared to col-
lide. Nobody else on the Giants was anywhere
near Detroits star receiver, who was able to
jog into the end zone for a 67-yard touchdown.
Later in the rst, Stafford scrambled to his
left, and then threw back to his right. Johnson
made a diving catch in the back of the end zone
for a 16-yard TD and a 14-0 lead.
When Matt breaks the pocket, I know I
have to keep working, because he can put the
ball anywhere on the eld, Johnson said. We
worked out together a lot during the offseason,
and we did a lot of footwork drills. You can see
that it is paying off for him. Hes making
moves.
Staffords two touchdown passes came on
what looked like broken plays, and so did his
5-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. He
scrambled up the middle on that one and cut to
his left to avoid a potential tackler.
The Giants also missed the playoffs last sea-
son, thanks mostly to that terrible start. They
were eager to begin on a better note against the
Lions, but barely ve minutes into the game,
defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul went down
with a neck injury. He was able to walk off the
eld, but he was taken in for X-rays.
Pierre-Paul was back in the game in the sec-
ond quarter.
The Giants revamped their secondary in the
offseason, but Stafford took advantage of a
couple big breakdowns. In the third quarter, he
found Golden Tate for a 44-yard gain on third-
and-11, which led to a eld goal.
Detroits secondary, meanwhile, looked
solid despite an injury that kept newly acquired
safety James Ihedigbo out of the game. Glover
Quins interception in the third helped set up
Staffords touchdown run that made it 27-7.
Johnson tied Herman Moores team record
with his 107th straight game with a catch. He
was banged up down the stretch last season,
and Stafford struggled with turnovers as a play-
off berth slipped away. Caldwells hiring was
in many ways viewed as an attempt to help
Stafford take another step forward.

Serious respiratory illness
hits hundreds of children
By Lindsey Tanner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO Hundreds of children in more than 10 states
have been sickened by a severe respiratory illness that pub-
lic health ofcials say may be caused by an uncommon virus
similar to the germ that causes the common cold.
Nearly 500 children have been treated at one hospital
alone Childrens Mercy in Kansas City, Missouri and
some required intensive care, according to authorities.
The suspected germ, enterovirus 68, is an uncommon
strain of a very common family of viruses that typically hit
from summertime through autumn.
The virus can cause mild coldlike symptoms including
runny noses, coughing and wheezing but Mark Pallansch,
director of the viral diseases division at the federal Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, said this summers
cases are unusually severe and include serious breathing
problems.
Its not highly unusual but were trying to understand
what happened this year in terms of these noticeable and
much larger clusters of severe respiratory disease,
Pallansch said Monday.
The virus can spread through sneezing and experts say good hand-washing practices are important to curb transmission.

The virus typically causes illness lasting
about a week and most children recover with
no lasting problems.
Cases have been conrmed in Missouri
and Illinois. CDC said it is testing to see if
the virus caused respiratory illnesses
reported in children in Alabama, Colorado,
Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky,
Michigan, Ohio, Oklahoma and Utah. The
states tally changes as specimens are con-
rmed or test negative. Aspokeswoman for
Iowas public health department said CDC
tests conrmed the virus in samples from
patients in central Iowa and a Colorado hos-
pital said it has conrmed cases.
The CDCs Dr. Anne Schuchat said at a
Monday news brieng that there are other
viruses making kids sick.
Most of the runny noses out there are not
going to be turning into this, she said.
Children with asthma and other health
problems are especially at risk for the
enterovirus, but reported cases include chil-
dren without asthma who have developed
asthmalike breathing problems, Pallansch
said. He said no deaths have been reported
in the outbreak.
Dr. Mary Anne Jackson, director of infec-
tious diseases at Childrens Mercy, said
local cases began appearing in mid-August
and they appear to have peaked in her area.
Schuchat said the strain involved also
appeared in the United States last year
and in specimens from other countries.
She said the CDC learned it had reap-
peared in this country last month when
authorities in Chicago and Kansas City
notified the agency about severe illness-
es in children who had to be hospital-
ized. She said the virus was found in 11
of 14 specimens from Chicago and in 19
of 22 specimens from Missouri.
In the Denver area, more than 900 chil-
dren were treated for severe respiratory ill-
nesses at Childrens Hospital Colorado and
its urgent care locations and 86 were hospi-
talized in recent weeks. Spokeswoman
Melissa Vizcarra said Monday that CDC had
conrmed the virus in 19 of 25 samples
from her hospital.
The University of Chicagos Comer
Childrens Hospital has treated several
cases, including extremely sick children
requiring life-support machines, said Dr.
Rachel Wolfson, an intensive care unit
physician.
Affected children are as small as infants
all the way up to teenagers, Wolfson said.
The virus can spread through sneezing and
experts say good hand-washing practices
are important to curb transmission.
The take-home point is wash your hands
and keep your hands away from your face,
Wolfson said.

Francisco taking on the duties of Oyster
Point Marina.
Ideally, an interested successor agency
will be the one to prompt the dissolution,
said LAFCo Executive Officer Martha
Poyatos.
Poyatos said the countys response to
the grand jury, which has not yet come to
the Board of Supervisors for approval,
might provide some insight into whether
it is interested in pursuing dissolution. The
upcoming municipal review will also have
updated information on the districts use,
need and accountability along with other
analysis to drive the discussion.
The municipal services review will have
a lot of the answers, Poyatos said.
The reviews are typically conducted in
order but Poyatos said the Harbor District
will be pushed up slightly to begin the
process by the end of the year as requested.
If the commission agrees to hire a consult-
ant for the work as recommended by
Poyatos, the review could be completed by
next June.
Although the Harbor District currently
remains intact, LAFCo has recommended
its dissolution for decades dating back to
1977. The commission has reaffirmed the
position formally known as an adopted
sphere designation of zero periodically,
most recently in 2006. However, several
attempts to follow through have failed.
The zero designation is not a reflection
of the district employees, their services or
even discord within the governing board,
Poyatos wrote in the proposed grand jury
response. Instead, it is based primarily on
overlapping services with the county like
finance and administrative capabilities. In
other words, the county which shares
the exact same boundaries as the district
already has the infrastructure in place to
take on the districts duties and provide the
same services.
The position, and LAFCos position in
its jury reply, largely echoes past assess-
ments.
Not a whole lot has changed, Poyatos
said.
What might mean the difference now is
the districts heavy reliance on property
tax to offset operating costs which is dif-
ferent than the legislative intent of
Proposition 13. Special districts once used
property tax for services like police and
fire but some like the Harbor District are
using it to recover service costs. County
taxpayers pay the same amount but dont
necessarily reap the benefits equally.
The district operates on a $10 million
budget with about half coming from prop-
erty tax.
I think that this might be a time when
more people want to look at it much deep-
er, Poyatos said.
Although board dynamics also dont rate
in the LAFCo designation, they have made
headlines as members bicker amongst
themselves and with the general manager
who announced his retirement last week.
For its part, the Harbor District Board of
Commissioners did not take kindly to the
grand jurys dissolution recommendation.
In its own reply to the grand jury report,
the members disagreed with the idea
although each offered an individual per-
spective.
The complete LAFCo response is avail-
able at lafco.smcgov. org/commission.

Sept. 17 in Board Chambers, 400 County

help in the transition as much as I can.
Back in 2012, a no condence petition
was circulated about Hutt. Started by parent
Rich Falasco, the petition described Hutt as
being repeatedly dishonest and called for a
trustworthy, respectful and honorable
superintendent. The petition came weeks
after a controversial meeting at which the
board discussed possibly closing
Crestmoor and El Crystal elementary
schools. The outrage came over the timing.
In the week prior to the April 25 meeting,
the board met and only one possible school
was on the chopping block, Crestmoor. On
April 20, Hutt released a report recommend-
ing two schools be closed in the next
school year if the district faced a budget
decit of $250,000 or the neighborhood
enrollment dropped by 30 or more students
at any of the elementary schools. The board
voted against the proposal. Crestmoor later
closed as part of a separate vote.
Board trustees say this is the right time to
replace Hutt.
Really, its just time for a change, said
board President Patrick Flynn.
At a board meeting Wednesday night, the
board will be looking at search rms for
replacing the superintendent.
Once we pick a rm, theyll interview
the board and interview the principals and
identify the attributes of the superintendent
theyre looking for, Flynn said. It will
probably take three or four months to get
through this process.
In terms of the attributes Flynn would like
to see in a new superintendent, Flynn would
like someone with a better focus on tech-
nology.
It seems to be the way the San Bruno
Education Foundation is going, he said. I
would like see more music in the schools
too.
Moving forward, Hutt says he doesnt
have any specic plans after working in the
district.
I could go back in the classroom, he
said. There are probably all kinds of
options.
The school board meets 7 p.m.
Wednesday, Sept. 10 at the site of the former
Crestmoor Elementary School, 2322
Crestmoor Drive in San Bruno and will be
televised through San Bruno Cable TV.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MONROVIA, Liberia The United States and Britain
will send medical equipment and military personnel to help
contain West Africas Ebola outbreak, as the World Health
Organization warned Monday that many thousands of new
infections are expected in Liberia in the coming weeks.
The current Ebola outbreak is the largest on record. It has
spread from Guinea to Sierra Leone, Liberia, Nigeria and
Senegal and killed more than 2,000 people. An exponen-
tial increase in new cases is expected in the hardest-hit
countries in coming weeks, the U.N. health agency warned.
As soon as a new Ebola treatment facility is opened, it
immediately lls to overowing with patients, pointing to
a large but previously invisible caseload, WHO said in a
statement about the situation in Liberia. Many thousands
of new cases are expected in Liberia over the coming three
weeks.
So far, more than 3,500 people have been infected, near-
ly half of them in Liberia. The outbreak has taken a partic-
ularly heavy toll on health workers. The World Health
Organization announced Monday that one of its doctors
working in Sierra Leone has been infected with Ebola.
In response to the spiraling disaster, U.S. President
Barack Obama said Sunday that the military would help to
set up isolation units and provide security for public health
workers responding to the outbreak.
Military personnel will set up a 25-bed eld hospital in
the Liberian capital, Col. Steven Warren, a Pentagon
spokesman, said Monday. The clinic will be used to treat
health care workers, a high number of whom have become
infected in this outbreak.
Once set up, the center will be turned over to the Liberian
government. There is no plan to staff it with U.S. military
personnel, Warren said.
Liberia welcomed the news.
This is not Liberias particular ght; it is a ght that the
international community must engage very, very seriously
and bring all possible resources to bear, said Information
Minister Lewis Brown.
In addition, Britain will open a 62-bed treatment center in
Sierra Leone in the coming weeks. It will be operated by
military engineers and medical staff with help from the
charity Save the Children, Britains Department for
International Development said Monday.
The clinic will also include a special section for treating
health care workers, offering them high-quality, specialist
care, the statement said.
Currently, there are about 570 beds in Ebola treatment
centers in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, the hardest-hit
countries, and the World Health Organization says nearly
1,000 more are needed, the vast majority of those in
Liberia.
Doctors Without Borders welcomed both the American
and British announcements, but warned even the latest
surge in efforts may not be enough, saying the disease was
moving catastrophically through the population much
faster than new facilities are being created.
And experts say its not just beds, but that more interna-
tional and local health workers that are needed. Doctors
Without Borders also urged Washington to not simply set
up clinics but also to staff them.
Many health workers, however, have been reluctant to
respond to the crisis out of concern that there isnt enough
protective equipment to keep them safe.
A fourth American who contracted Ebola in West Africa
was expected to arrive in the U.S. for care Tuesday, Emory
University Hospital where two other aid workers suc-
cessfully recovered from the disease said Monday in a
news release.
Ebola is spread through the bodily uids of people who
show symptoms, and doctors and nurses are at high risk of
infection because they work closely with the sick. The
WHO doctor whose infection was announced Monday is the
second health care worker with the agency to catch Ebola.
The doctor is in stable condition and will shortly be evacu-
ated, the agency said.
In Liberia alone, 152 health care workers have been
infected with Ebola and 79 have died, WHO said, noting
that country had too few doctors and nurses even before the
crisis.
Every infection or death of a doctor or nurse depletes
response capacity signicantly, it said.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called several world
leaders over the weekend, including the British prime min-
ister and French president, to urge them to send more med-
ical teams and money to ght the outbreak.

construction by a developer who plans
to sell the homes to new families.
Mayor Jim Ruane spoke at a press
conference Monday to update the pub-
lic on the rebuilding of the neighbor-
hood. Eight people died as a result of
disaster, while 66 people were injured.
The explosion and resulting shock
wave registered as a magnitude 1.1
earthquake.
Since that terrible day four years
ago, the San Bruno community has
shown that it will not be defeated by
tragedy, he said. Although the road
to full recovery is long and difcult,
the families of the Crestmoor neigh-
borhood continue to show their
strength and resilience.
Neighborhood residents like Bill
Magoolaghan say their families are
making progress emotionally.
Things have gotten a lot better, he
said. The kids are out of therapy.
Weve put a lot of distance between the
time that that happened and now.
In terms of the construction
progress, he notes it takes a long time
to rebuild.
Its obviously not what you want to
be in a perpetual construction
zone, he said. My neighbor three
houses away is almost moved back in.
We have to be a little bit patient here.
More than $15 million in neighbor-
hood underground infrastructure,
including sewer lines, water lines and
storm drains, has been repaired or
replaced over the past two years. This
includes 3.5 miles of water line, 4.5
miles of sewer mains and laterals, two
miles of new storm drainage pipes and
two new water pressure regulating sta-
tions.
But while we can rebuild or streets
and homes, we will never bring back
the innocent lives tragically lost,
Ruane said. In their honor, we contin-
ue to advocate tirelessly for a safer
pipeline system statewide so that what
happened in San Bruno never happens
again.
Additionally, all of the 17 homes
that were badly damaged have been
fully repaired and are not occupied. In
the next 18 months, there will be some
surface improvements, including new
sidewalks, curbs, street paving, land-
scaping and streetlight system. There
will also be a new and expanded park,
replacement of sewer laterals, replant-
ing of the upper Crestmoor Canyon
and other potential projects like
canyon slope repairs.
Still, progress has been slow, said
neighbor Debra Marks.
I think were all very weary, she
said. Weve been told that were look-
ing at another two years of work.
Everyone is very, very tired of this not
ending. ... All city processes are slow
thats the nature of any city govern-
ment and so things have to put out to
bid before work can get done and have
to be approved by the City Council.
Theres always a process and were
having to endure that process.
Meanwhile, California regulatory
judges issued a $1.4 billion penalty
last week against PG&E for the explo-
sion. The California Public Utilities
Commission said the gure reached by
two administrative law judges against
PG&E would be the largest safety relat-
ed penalty it had ever imposed. PG&E
ofcials have said they will appeal the
fine. A 2011 investigation by the
National Transportation Safety Board
concluded that the rupture occurred in a
weak weld in a pipeline that PG&E
records had shown as being smooth
and unwelded. PG&E neglected to shut
off natural gas feeding the re until 95
minutes after the blast, the federal
investigators said.
Multiple investigations found this
explosion to be the result of the com-
panys decision to deliberately misdi-
rect money designated for pipeline
safety to executive salaries and share-
holder returns, Ruane said. It is time
for PG&E to do the right thing and
stop calling this an accident and
accept the level of penalty as pro-
posed.
There will be a remembrance service
at the explosion site on 5:30 p.m.-8
p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 9 at Claremont and
Glenview drives. Light refreshments
and beverages will be served in cele-
bration of families who have complet-
ed reconstruction and are returning
home. Parking will be available along
Claremont Drive, Glenview Drive and
Earl Avenue.

effort visit rebuildcrestmoor.org.

SANBRUNO
Pescadero Elementary School at 620
North St. when they found the exotic
animal under a parked car around 3:13
p.m. Friday, according to the Sheriffs
Ofce.
The snake is 7 feet in length, 4.5
inches in girth and weighs about 40
pounds, according to the Sheriffs
Ofce.
Two sheriffs deputies were able to
capture it in a plastic bin and transport it
to the substation before turning it over
to the Peninsula Humane Society &
SPCA, according to the Sheriffs Ofce.
Investigators said they dont know
where the python came from or to whom
it belongs, but there are some indicators
it wasnt well taken care of.
The snake is somewhat aggressive
and doesnt appear to be socialized, PHS
spokesman Scott Delucchi said. It also
has an unknown skin condition and the
PHS will have an expert come in to
determine what treatment options may
be available, Delucchi said.
The skin condition could be affecting
the snakes temperament and, once its
examined, theyll be able to evaluate
whether its suitable for adoption, sent
to a rescue center or need to be eutha-
nized, Delucchi said.
Surprisingly, its not completely
uncommon for the PHS to come into
possession of large reptiles and once
were given a 100-pound python,
Delucchi said.
Unfortunately, some who are enticed
by the concept of a novel pet fail to
account for the animals needs, Delucchi
said.
The PHS isnt sure where the snake
came from and an owner has yet to come
forward, but it surely didnt slither its
way to the coast on its own.
It probably was someones pet. Its
part of a bigger picture that animals like
this snake, turtles, lizards and even
exotic birds, theyre legal to own and
the attraction is no one else on the
block has them, Delucchi said.
But problems can arise as the animals
grow and owners who cant manage the
commitment can be led to give up their
exotic creatures, Delucchi said.
People can become overwhelmed by
the amount of care thats involved. They
dont realize it on the front end. The
housing requirements, including cli-
mate control, the diet and the socializ-
ing thats involved with keeping an
exotic animal. So we see people surren-
der their pets because people dont know
what theyre getting into.
Similar to incidents with cats and
dogs, the PHS will wait four days after
receiving the snake before it becomes
its property and then it will determine
how to handle the snake, Delucchi said.
Because this particular breed of snake
is fairly common, its unlikely that a
zoo would be interested in taking it,
Delucchi said. If its adoptable, it could
nd a home through the PHS or there are
reptile and snake rescue centers that may
be better connected to nd it a home,
Delucchi said.
The PHS regularly has snakes avail-
able for adoption such as ball pythons
and corn snakes and Delucchi recom-
mends those interested in owning an
exotic pet rst consider the long-term
care required.
[People should] do their research
ahead of time and if they are considering
one, know that their local shelter could
have one for adoption, Delucchi said.
[Staff] can provide a lot of information
about their care and their diet and life
span and all the things needed for it to
be happy and healthy.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2014
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Taking on too much
could damage your health. A relationship or situation
will cause you grief and lead to change. A decision to
move forward must benet you, not someone else.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Group encounters will
allow you the perfect opportunity to share your
ideas. A change is as good as a rest. Dont be afraid
to try something new.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Keen observation
and listening skills will provide lucrative information
for you. Be prepared to work hard if you want to get
ahead. Make the most of any chance to promote
your talent and ideas.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Keep your own
needs and wants in perspective. You risk being
taken advantage of if you decide to address others
problems ahead of your own.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Friends and
relatives can be a source of inspiration. If
youre open-minded, your options will multiply.
Willingness to compromise will help dissipate any
problems that crop up.
QUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Its ne to be laid-
back, but love and friendship arent likely to nd you
if you are hiding in a corner. Take up a new pastime,
and relationship opportunities will improve.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Wafing will work
against you. Size up whats going on and, without
making a commitment, mention what you might
contribute. That way, you gain the upper hand and
buy time to make a decision.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Once you know what
you want, be up-front and open. Secret deals and
hidden agendas will lead to trouble. Dont let anyone
talk you into a questionable venture.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) A new partnership will
offer greater opportunities. Consider your options while
highlighting your talents. You can make an important
rst impression if you volunteer your services.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Put an emphasis on
getting ahead. Prove how valuable you are in the
workplace by sharing your vision and plans. You will
attract the attention of a future mentor.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Dont get drawn back
into a disappointing relationship. Making travel plans
or researching something youd like to pursue will spur
you to let go of the past and embrace the future.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You should exercise caution
when forced to deal with other peoples money or
property. You could be blamed for a situation that you
had no hand in. A nancial change is on the horizon.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Donald R, Sfarzo, aka Don Sfarzo
Case Number: 124833
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Donald R, Sfarzo, aka
Don Sfarzo. A Petition for Probate has
been filed by Stephanie Sfarzo and Nich-
olas Luis Sfarzo in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Con-
stance Jean Sfarzo be appointed as per-
sonal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
203 Public Notices
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: October 06, 2014 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal au-
thority may affect your rights as a cred-
itor. You may want to consult with an at-
torney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
MARIUPOL, Ukraine Seeking to rally
national unity, President Petro Poroshenko
visited a southeastern port Monday that has
been assaulted for days by Russian-backed
separatists and declared the city would
remain a part of Ukraine.
After a series of military defeats to
increasingly condent rebel forces in the
countrys eastern regions, Ukraine signed a
cease-re deal Friday that has been widely
viewed at home as an act of capitulation.
Much of the region has remained calm as the
truce appeared to be holding, although spo-
radic unrest was reported.
We will do everything to ensure there is
peace, but we will also brace ourselves for
the defense our country, Poroshenko told
metal workers at a plant that was within the
range of the rebels rockets.
Also Monday, the Kremlin said
Poroshenko and Russian President Vladimir
Putin spoke by telephone and continued to
discuss steps helping peaceful settlement in
southeastern Ukraine.
The two leaders had also talked Saturday
about implementing the cease-re plan in
the conflict that has lasted nearly five
months and killed at least 3,000, according
to a U.N. estimate. The ghting has also
forced hundreds of thousands to ee their
homes.
The dialogue will continue, the Kremlin
said without elaborating.
Also Monday, the European Council for-
mally adopted a package of further sanc-
tions against Russia but delayed enforce-
ment to see if the cease-re holds.
Council President Herman Van Rompuy
said the sanctions will be implemented in
the next few days, which would leave time
for an assessment of the implementation
of the cease-re agreement and the peace
plan.
The European Union sanctions are expect-
ed to be coordinated with a new round of
U.S. sanctions, a Western diplomat said.
The U.S. sanctions are ready for release, the
diplomat said, but the Obama administra-
tion wants to wait to act in concert with
Europe to maximize the impact of the sanc-
tions and present a united front against
Russia. The diplomat was not authorized to
discuss the details of the sanctions before
they were formally announced and insisted
on anonymity.
Poroshenkos trip to Mariupol came days
after it came under sustained shelling from
rebels stationed along the 70-kilometer
(40-mile) stretch between the strategic port
on the Sea of Azov and the Russian border.
This city was, is, and will be Ukrainian!
he told the crowd under the gaze of a tight
security detail.
The agreement reached in Minsk, the cap-
ital of Belarus, called for an immediate halt
to ghting and an exchange of prisoners. It
also called for the central government to
give a greater degree of autonomy to the
separatist Russian-speaking regions of
Donetsk and Luhansk, although details
remained vague.
While insisting the agreement would not
lead to the breakup of Ukraine, Poroshenko
expressed some openness to further discus-
sions on the shape of the country.
