HUNDREDS REPORTED KILLED AS EGYPT SMASHES
PROTESTS
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Aproposal by state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San
Mateo, to limit a nonprots use of public
funds to support ballot measures has been
met with stiff competition by the League of
California Cities, which has been at odds
with the state for years as it has taken away
local tax money to trim from the states
once $20 billion decit.
Senate Bill 594 is gut
and amend legislation
that Hill became the
author of last week. It
calls for limiting ballot
advocacy by local gov-
ernment organizations.
The League of
California Cities mis-
sion is to expand and protect local control
for cities through education and advocacy
and has challenged the state in court in
recent years over its dismantling of redevel-
opment agencies and has raised money to
support ballot measures that protect munic-
ipal funds.
CITIPAC, the Leagues political action
committee established in 2003, supports
ballot measures and other advocacy activi-
ties of importance to cities, according to
the league.
In 2004, CITIPAC helped raise private
funds needed to support the leagues effort to
pass Proposition 1Aand again in 2010 with
the passage of Proposition 22. Both propo-
sitions amended the state Constitution to
end state raids on local funds.

Burlingame digs
into new school
funding formula
District to lose $140K
this coming year with
state system change
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The new state education funding formula
means more money for districts with high
numbers of economically disadvantaged,
English-learners or foster
children, but the
Burlingame Elementary
School District wont be
seeing more state money.
Rather, it will be less.
Thats because the dis-
trict is not eligible for a
state concentration grant for those cate-
gories of students because 874 of its
approximately 3,000 students qualify
lower than the 55 percent threshold the
state now requires. In addition, the district
will be losing approximately $140,000 in
the 2013-14 school year switching off of

San Mateos Central Park, in the heart of
the city near downtown, may look startling-
ly different in future years as the city is
seeking design proposals to update the
parks master plan.
The city sent out a request for proposals
seeking landscape architect and planning
services consultants to update the master
plan, last amended more than 30 years ago.
Some of the parks features will remain in
place but others, such as the tennis courts
and parking garage, may be moved or repur-
posed.
Protected will be the Japanese Tea Garden;
Kohl Pumphouse and areas leased to the San
Mateo Arboretum Society; the Rose Garden;
and the Great Lawn.
The bronze cast dog which greets visitors
entering the park from Ninth Avenue is also
protected.
The public parking garage is considered
crucial to the citys overall downtown park-
ing management plan, however, and poten-
tial consultants will have to at a minimum
keep the number of spaces intact, according
to the RFP. The garage currently has 122
parking spaces.
The request seeks to maximize the parks
open space and historic nature and to
enhance its value as a link to downtown to
support its economic vitality.
We are very excited about the prospect of
updating the Central Park Master Plan as the
initial, and only, plan we have was adopted
by the City Council in 1982, Park and
Recreation Director Sheila Canzian wrote
the Daily Journal in an email. After 30-
plus years, we thought it was time to step
back and evaluate whether the current fea-
tures and layout of the park are still relevant
or whether they need to be updated.
The bocce ball courts near Fifth Avenue
are little used now and have fallen into dis-
repair and may be repurposed for another
Central Park faces redesign
Certain features protected; city planning significant outreach

Missing Iowa border
collie found stuck in a tree
DAVENPORT, Iowa A 7-year-old
border collie who was missing from his
Iowa home for a few days didnt get
very far he only went up.
Laddy the dog was found Sunday
morning stuck up a tree two blocks
from his Davenport home, the Quad-
City Times reported.
I asked where they found him, and
the ofcer said, `Youll never believe
this, said his owner, Cynthia Weeks.
Ron Stevenson was working in the
yard of his home when he heard a dog.
He had previously heard the dog bark-
ing, but he didnt want to complain.
However, something was different this
time.
I heard a whining, and I knew some-
thing wasnt right. This time, it sound-
ed in distress, Stevenson said.
He followed the sound along his
driveway and, counter-intuitively,
looked up. There was the dog, at least
10 feet up in the tree.
He was kind of shielded by leaves on
the tree, Stevenson said of the dog,
who he thinks maybe ran up the oak
trees gradually sloping trunk but then
became too scared to run back down.
Stevenson told the newspaper that he
called police and accepted one dis-
patchers skepticism.
They got here pretty fast, but I was
getting impatient, he said. I didnt
know if the dog would bite me, but I just
sort of shimmied up the tree. I grabbed
him by the collar and sort of pulled
him. I said, `Its time for you to get out
of this tree.
Aresponding police ofcer had seen
iers about Laddy and knew where the
dog lived. He was reunited with Weeks a
short time later.
Weeks said she believes Laddy
escaped Friday from an invisible elec-
tronic fencing system thanks to a non-
working battery in his collar. She said
his love for squirrels and chasing
things probably led him up the tree.
Despite a few abrasions on the pads of
his feet, hes otherwise ne.
He was pretty subdued when he got
home, she said. Hes been doing a
ton of sleeping.
British cat DNA
database helps convict killer
LONDON Fingerprints are not the
only thing that killers can leave behind
add cat hair to that list.
A British university said Wednesday
that its DNAdatabase of British felines
helped convict a man of manslaughter,
illustrating how the genetic material of
pets can be used by crime scene inves-
tigators.
This is the rst time cat DNA has
been used in a criminal trial in the
U.K., said Jon Wetton from the
University of Leicester. This could be
a real boon for forensic science, as the
10 million cats in the U.K. are unwit-
tingly tagging the clothes and furnish-
ings in more than a quarter of house-
holds.
Although drawing DNA from human
hair, saliva, or blood samples has long
been a part of crime scene investiga-
tions, animal material has also provid-
ed invaluable clues. The Veterinary
Genetics Laboratory at the University
of California, Davis, has used animal
DNAto catch criminals for more than a
decade including one case in London
in which blood left at the scene of a
nightclub stabbing was matched to a
murder suspects bull terrier.
In the latest case in Britain, investi-
gators tapped the same lab to identify
the cat hair discovered around the dis-
membered torso of David Guy, 30, who
was found hidden in a trash bag on a
British beach in July 2012. Detectives
matched the hair to a cat belonging to
the mans friend, David Hilder, but
because the genetic material was mito-
chondrial DNA which can be shared
among large number of animals the
strength of the match couldnt be
known.
Thats where the cat DNA database
came in.
Wetton who had previously helped
to set up a similar database for dogs
worked with doctoral student Barbara
Ottolini to create a repository of cat
DNAfor the Hilder case. They gathered
samples of mitochondrial DNA from
152 felines across England over a six-
week period.

This summer saw the completion of three
major school projects in the Burlingame
Elementary School District, along with the
facilities work at Burlingame Intermediate
School and construction at Hoover
Elementary School.
Three elementary school projects are
wrapping up and the BIS project includes the
relocation of Wing 12, installation of four
portable buildings to address student enroll-
ment growth and the demolition of the road.
The district is currently in the middle of the
road project, which widens the single-lane
road to two lanes and moves it to perimeter
of the campus. The road is expected to be
completed in late October or early
November, according to a staff report.
Robert Clark, assistant superintendent
and chief business ofcial for the district,
said BIS is taking a large portion of the $56
million Measure D bond funding approved
last year.
The road, along with the removal and
installation of four buildings in place now
cost $2.3 million.
The district is just getting started on a new
building and re lane and expansion project
at the school as well, taking $8 million
from the bond. To get up to re code, the re
lane behind the auditorium has to be widened
to be more than 20 feet. Over the course of
next four or ve years, the new classroom
building will house 12 rooms, Clark said.
The construction is set to begin in the
summer of 2014, with the new facility open-
ing during the 2015-16 school year.
At the Board of Trustees meeting Tuesday
night, the board voted unanimously to
approve Hamilton Aitken Architects to per-
form the architectural services for the new
building and re lane expansion project at
the school, located at 1715 Quesada Way.
The decision was made pending contract
negotiations between the board and archi-
tects. The rm was narrowed down from a
group of 17 to eight, then three.
Workers are currently rehabilitating the
Hoover Elementary Schools main building
and the construction of a new classroom
building. The workers put up new building
walls and padding. The campus is slated to
open for occupancy in late July or early
August 2014 and ready for students in the
2014-15 school year. However, the school
district is currently facing a lawsuit, pend-
ing in the San Mateo County Superior
Court, from Hoover neighbors concerned
about trafc and parking impacts.
The Franklin Classroom Modernization
project involves the removal of five
portable buildings, while the Lincoln
Classroom Modernization project involves
the removal of three portable buildings. The

ect involves remodeling the exterior facade.

A 25-year-old tool theft suspect who
reportedly hid from police inside a
Belmont home next to its frightened occu-
pant is facing up to four years in prison
after pleading no contest to several
felonies.
Mitchell James Borden accepted the plea
deal on charges of possessing stolen prop-
erty, residential burglary and false impris-
onment. Prosecutors sought a flat four-year
term but a judge will consider less at his
Oct. 9 sentence.
Belmont police arrested Borden May 4
after he wedged open a storage unit at a
Village Court apartment complex shortly
after 9 a.m., stole tools and ran from a
yelling neighbor. Borden reportedly bailed
out of the getaway car in the parking lot of
a convalescent home,
leaving his girlfriend
inside with the stolen
tools, while he fled over
a fence and inside an
unlocked home.
Inside, he told a 44-
year-old woman working
on her computer he was
running from police
because of drunk driving
and told her not to alert
authorities. The frightened woman sat quiet-
ly until Borden reached toward her at which
time the police searching for him spotted
the suspect, according to prosecutors.
At the time, Borden had three pending
arrest warrants.
He remains in custody in lieu of $75,000
bail.
Brown rejects bill to
pay egg donors for research
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown has
vetoed a bill that would have made it legal to
pay women to stimulate
and harvest their repro-
ductive eggs for research,
saying in a veto message
that not everything in
life is for sale nor should
it be.
The bill by
Assemblywoman Susan
Bonilla, D-Concord, was
intended to protect
women from exploitation when they serve
as research subjects. It would have allowed
them to be compensated for the time, dis-
comfort and inconvenience of producing the
eggs.
Current law prohibits human oocytes or
embryos from being acquired, sold, offered
for sale, received or traded for medical
research. Bonilla has said this stymies med-
ical research, as fertility research is the only
area in which medical research subjects are
not compensated.

Two animals found
with chronic West Nile
AWest Nile virus chronic positive squirrel
and bird were reported by the Mosquito and
Vector Control District this month.
An infected eastern gray squirrel was report-
ed in Burlingame Aug. 1 and a house nch in
El Granada was reported Aug. 2 and the test
results came through Tuesday.
A chronic positive result means that the
animals were carrying very low levels of
virus, and were probably not recently infect-
ed.
In June, an American goldnch from
Redwood City and a red-shouldered hawk from
Emerald Hills were found. The same month in
San Mateo, a scrub jay in the Hillsdale area
east of Alameda de las Pulgas and an American
Crow was reported in the Hayward Park area.

Climate change may help redwoods thrive
Californias beloved giant redwood trees are in the
midst of an unprecedented growth spurt, according to a
climate study released Wednesday.
The ancient trees have produced more wood over the
past century than they have during any other time in their
lives, according to findings by the Save the Redwoods
League and a team of renowned scientists.
The $3 million four-year study, called the Redwoods and
Climate Change Initiative, was the most intensive
research project ever conducted on the giant trees. The
researchers climbed, poked and prodded 137 coast red-
woods and giant sequoias on 16 research plots throughout
the trees geographic range.
The study said changing environmental conditions are
triggering spurts in coast redwoods and the giant
sequoias. Researchers added that ancient redwood forests
can store up to three times more carbon above ground than
any other forest in the world.
Emily Burns, science director at the Save the Redwoods
League said the findings are a happy surprise.
We have found ancient forests where climate condi-
tions are accelerating growth and we predict these places
will stay vibrant habitat refuges for other plants and ani-
mals in the foreseeable future, Burns said.
One researcher, Humboldt State forestry professor
Stephen Sillett, said its unclear whats prompted the
growth spurts.
It could be that rising temperatures have lengthened the
growing season or that the redwoods are getting more sun.
Or it could be something more mundane, such as a reduc-
tion in air pollution.
Our hypothesis is that its because it is warmer. That
lengthens the growth season, Burns told the San
Francisco Chronicle.
Officials announcing Bay Bridge open date
Transportation authorities say theyre on the verge of
announcing whether the new eastern span of the San
Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge will open on Labor Day
under a plan approved this week by federal officials.
Ajoint committee of the three agencies responsible for
the bridge said in a statement that it will announce the
opening date at a Thursday morning meeting in Oakland.
The announcement from the Toll Bridge Oversight
Committee was set to come two days after federal trans-
portation officials signed off on a temporary fix for the
cracked seismic safety bolts that have threatened to delay
the opening until at least December.
The fix involves temporarily installing steel plates in
the area of the broken bolts to help prevent movement
during an earthquake while long-term repairs are done.
Bicyclist struck, killed by truck in S.F.
Police say a 30-year-old woman has died after being hit
by a truck while riding her bicycle in San Francisco.
Sgt. Dennis Toomer says the incident occurred when the
truck was trying to make a right turn in the citys South of
Market neighborhood Wednesday morning.
The woman was taken to San Francisco General
Hospital where she was pronounced dead from her
injuries.
Her name has not been released.
Around the Bay
By Sam Hananel
WASHINGTON With Thomas
Perez now conrmed as head of the
Labor Department, the agency is
expected to unleash a urry of new reg-
ulations that have been bottled up for
months a prospect that has business
leaders worried and labor advocates
cheering.
Some long-awaited rules would help
boost employment for veterans and the
disabled, increase wages for home
health care workers and set new limits
for workplace exposure to dangerous
silica dust.
Other, more controversial rules and
actions could help labor unions in
organizing campaigns and allow union
ofcials to take part in safety inspec-
tions at nonunion companies.
The general view of the business
community is that there will be an
activist, enforcement agenda, said
Michael Lotito, a San Francisco lawyer
who represents employers in labor dis-
putes. That means there are going to
be more lawsuits and the regulatory
agenda is going to be alive and well.
In many cases, the pending rules
have languished for two years or more,
stalled by election-year politics and
the delay in installing Perez as labor
secretary. Republicans who opposed
Perez say his record as head of the
Justice Departments civil rights divi-
sion was one of ideological activism.
But labor and workplace advocates call
Perez a champion for workers rights.
American workers have an advocate
in the Labor Department who will pro-
tect and defend workers rights from
collective bargaining to workplace
safety to retirement security, said Lee
Saunders, president of the American
Federation of State, County and
Municipal Employees.
The Senate confirmed Perez last
month on a party-line 54-46 vote, part
of a deal in which Republicans agreed
to end stalling tactics over several of
President Barack Obamas nominees.
The Labor Department already has
dramatically increased enforcement of
safety, wage and hour laws during
Obamas administration. Former Labor
Secretary Hilda Solis bluntly declared
there was a new sheriff in town when
she took over the department in 2009.
But Perez is expected to take things
further based on his track record at the
Justice Department. He played a lead-
ing role in challenging voter ID laws
in Texas and South Carolina and was
particularly aggressive in bringing
housing discrimination cases. As labor
secretary in Maryland, Perez was
known for actively going after compa-
nies that misclassied workers as inde-
pendent contractors to avoid paying
minimum wage and overtime.
Hell probably be more hands-on
than Solis was, said Randel Johnson,
vice president for labor issues at the
U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Labor Department spokesman Carl
Fillichio declined to comment on spe-
cic rules. He referred to the White
Houses regulatory agenda, which lists
several key rules poised for release in
the months ahead.
One rule triggering perhaps the
strongest opposition in the business
community would require employers to
disclose the attorneys and consultants
they hire to advise them during union
organizing drives, even if the consult-
ants have no direct contact with work-
ers.
If the rule is adopted, unions would
know whether a company has hired
what they refer to as union-busting
rms and how much those rms are
being paid to offer advice. Employers
believe union leaders could use such
information to embarrass company
managers as they try to persuade work-
ers to back the unions.
Likely Labor regs would
aid vets, disabled, unions
The general view of the business community
is that there will be an activist, enforcement agenda.
...That means there are going to be more lawsuits and
the regulatory agenda is going to be alive and well.

SAN DIEGO Southern
Californias recovering housing mar-
ket remains red-hot with sales hitting
an eight-year high for July and prices
remaining rm, a real estate research
rm said Tuesday.
There were 25,419 new and used
homes and condominiums sold last
month in Los Angeles, Riverside, San
Diego, Ventura, San Bernardino and
Orange counties, DataQuick said.
Thats up 17.6 percent from June and
23.5 percent compared to a year earli-
er. In fact, sales were only a half-per-
cent below the historically normal
level for July.
The median sales price meaning
half of the homes sold for more and
half for less was $385,000. That
was the same as in June but up nearly
26 percent since July 2012.
The median price has now risen year-
over-year for 16 months in a row.
We think a lot of the increase in
activity can be chalked up to a rising
inventory of homes for sale. The jump
in mortgage rates a couple of months
back might have spurred more buying,
too, DataQuick President John Walsh
said. The market continues its rebal-
ancing act, with more and more people
whove been underwater now able to
sell their homes at a prot, or at least
break even.
However, that didnt necessarily
apply to people saddled with the
cheapest homes.
The number of homes that sold for
$300,000 through $800,000 last
month rose more than 50 percent com-
pared to July 2012. The number that
sold below $200,000 dropped 26.4
percent year-over-year.

WHY NOW?
The interim administration that took over after Morsi
was toppled on July 3 has been warning for days that
it planned to crackdown on the tent cities, which
clogged intersections on opposite sides of the Egyptian
capital. The government accused the protesters of
frightening residents in the neighborhoods, sparking
violence and disrupting trafc.Military chief Gen.Abdel-
Fattah el-Sissi,who ousted Morsi,called for mass rallies
last month to show support action against the
protesters.Millions turned up on July 26 to declare their
support.The government later said diplomatic efforts
had failed and the decision to clear the sit-ins was
irreversible.Morsis supporters fortied their positions
and even more people ooded the camps after plans
for a crackdown on Monday morning were leaked to
the media. Police announced they were postponing
the decision but did not give a new date.
WHAT LED TO THIS?
Morsi was Egypts rst democratically elected leader
after winning the rst post-Hosni Mubarak presidential
election with just under 52 percent of the vote.His rise
to the helm of power was a sharp reversal for the
Muslim Brotherhood, repressed for decades under
Mubaraks rule,and it was part of a general rise to power
of Islamists following the Arab Spring wave of
revolutions that led to the ouster of Mubarak and
autocratic leaders in Tunisia and Libya.But Morsi faced
a backlash as liberal and secular activists accused him
and the Muslim Brotherhood of trying to monopolize
power and failing to implement much-needed social
and economic reforms. Morsi and his backers argued
they were doomed to fail because of constant protests
and efforts to undermine his government. His
government also drew criticism over a series of charges
and complaints against activists, journalists and TV
personalities, including well-known satirist Bassem
Youssef, for insulting Morsi and even sometimes for
insulting Islam. An activist group called Tamarod, or
Rebel in Arabic, drew millions to the streets to call for
Morsis ouster on June 30, the anniversary of his
inauguration. The powerful military responded by
taking Morsi into custody on July 3 and forming an
interim civilian leadership.
WHAT ARE THE MAIN STICKING
POINTS BLOCKING NEGOTIATIONS?
The Muslim Brotherhood, which rose to power and
won a series of elections after Mubaraks ouster, backs
Morsi and had vowed to maintain the protest camps
until he was reinstated.The Islamists have rejected the
military-backed political process, which calls for
amending the constitution adopted last year and
holding parliamentary and presidential elections early
next year. International diplomatic efforts to promote
reconciliation,including phone calls and visits by senior
U.S. and European diplomats, have failed.
The interim administration and liberal and secular
activists who led the drive to oust Morsi say the move
against Egypts rst democratically elected president
was justied because he was abusing his power and
the country needed a second chance at democracy.
Authorities also have cracked down on Muslim
Brotherhood leaders,detaining several key gures and
accusing them of inciting violence.
WHAT IS THE U.S. POSITION?
U.S.Secretary of State John Kerry joined other Western
and mainly Muslim countries in condemning the
violence.He said it had dealt a serious blowto political
reconciliation efforts and urged Egypts interim leaders
to take a step back and calm the situation. But Obama
administration ofcials signaled no change in their
policy toward Egypt.Washington has avoided declaring
Morsis ouster a coup, a move that would force the
administration to suspend $1.3 billion in annual military
aid to the nation. White House and State Department
ofcials said the U.S. role was largely to encourage the
interim government to fulll its promises to enact
political reform.
HAS THE VIOLENCE GENERATED ANY
SYMPATHY FOR MORSIS SUPPORTERS?
Most Egyptians are Muslim, but there is widespread
antipathy toward the Muslim Brotherhood among
moderates who feared Morsi and his allies were trying
to impose a stricter version of Islamic law in the country.
Still many object to the brutal crackdown and argue
stability cannot be restored without participation of
Islamists in the political process.ElBaradeis resignation
was the rst sign of a crack in the governments position.
The former head of the U.N.nuclear watchdog agency
was named only last month as interim President Adly
Mansours deputy for foreign relations.In his resignation
letter, he wrote that he is not prepared to be held
responsible for a single drop of blood,and lamented
that Egypt is more polarized than when he took ofce,
according to a copy that was emailed to the Associated
Press.
WHATS NEXT?
Its hard to tell. Several more Muslim Brotherhood
leaders,including the powerful Mohammed el-Beltagy
and Essam el-Erian, were arrested after security forces
swept away the two protest camps and the movement
may struggle to regroup as pro-Morsi protesters from
the camp were scattered.The government has declared
a state of emergency and imposed a nighttime curfew
in a bid to stem the violence, but sporadic clashes
continued through the evening. Anger over Morsis
ouster already has led to an increase in Islamic militant
violence in the northern half of the Sinai Peninsula that
borders Israel and the Gaza Strip, and growing anger
over the crackdown and deaths of scores of civilians
could be exploited by extremists to stoke low-level
violence there and elsewhere in the country.
Egypt conflict
enters new phase
By Hamza Hendawi and Maggie Michael
CAIRO In Egypts bloodiest day since
the Arab Spring began, riot police
Wednesday smashed two protest camps of
supporters of the deposed Islamist presi-
dent, touching off street violence that of-
cials said killed nearly 300 people and
forced the military-backed interim leaders to
impose a state of emergency and curfew.
The crackdown drew widespread condem-
nation from the Muslim world and the West,
including the U.S., and Nobel Peace Prize
winner Mohamed ElBaradei resigned as the
interim vice president in protest a blow
to the new leaderships credibility with the
pro-reform movement.
Today was a difcult day, interim Prime
Minister Hazem el-Beblawi said in a tele-
vised address to the nation. While he regret-
ted the bloodshed, he offered no apologies
for moving against the supporters of ousted
President Mohammed Morsi, saying they
were given ample warnings to leave and he
had tried foreign mediation efforts.
The leaders of Morsis Muslim
Brotherhood called it a massacre. Several
of them were detained as police swept
through the two sit-in sites, scores of other
Islamists were taken into custody, and the
future of the once-banned movement was
uncertain.
Backed by helicopters, police red tear
gas and used armored bulldozers to plow
into the barricades at the two protest camps
in different sections of Cairo where the
Morsi supporters had been camped since
before he was ousted by the military July 3.
Army troops did not take part in the two
operations, which began shortly after 7
a.m. (0500 GMT 1 a.m. EDT), although
they provided security at the locations.
The smaller camp near Cairo
University in Giza was cleared of protest-
ers relatively quickly, most taking refuge in
the nearby Orman botanical gardens, on the
campus of Cairo University and the zoo.
But it took about 12 hours for police to
take control of the main sit-in site near the
Rabaah al-Adawiya Mosque in Nasr City
that has served as the epicenter of the pro-
Morsi campaign and had drawn chanting
throngs of men, women and children only
days earlier.
After the police moved on the camps,
street battles broke out in Cairo and other
cities across Egypt. Government buildings
and police stations were attacked, roads
were blocked, and Christian churches were
torched, Interior Minister Mohammed
Ibrahim said.
At one point, protesters trapped a police
Humvee on an overpass near the Nasr City
camp and pushed it off, according to images
posted on social networking sites that
showed an injured policeman on the ground
below, near a pool of blood and the over-
turned vehicle.
The Health Ministry said 235 civilians
were killed and more than 2,000 injured,
while Ibrahim said 43 policemen died in the
violence. The death toll was expected to
rise.
Three journalists were among the dead:
Mick Deane, 61, a cameraman for British
broadcaster Sky News; Habiba Ahmed Abd
Elaziz, 26, a reporter for the Gulf News, a
state-backed newspaper in the United Arab
Emirates; and Ahmed Abdel Gawad, who
wrote for Egypts state-run newspaper Al
Akhbar. Deane and Elaziz were shot to
death, their employers said, while the
Egyptian Press Syndicate, a journalists
union, said it had no information on how
Gawad was killed.
For much of the afternoon, thousands of
Morsi supporters chanting God is great!
tried to join those besieged by the security
forces inside the Nasr City camp. They were
driven away when police red tear gas.
Smoke clogged the sky above Cairo and
res smoldered on the streets, which were
lined with charred poles and tarps after sev-
eral tents were burned.
Hundreds reported killed
as Egypt smashes protests
By Matthew Lee and Julie Pace
WASHINGTON In a stern warning to
Egypts leaders, Secretary of State John
Kerry said the escalating violence through-
out the country Wednesday had dealt a seri-
ous blow to political reconciliation
efforts between the military-backed inter-
im government and supporters of ousted
President Mohammed Morsi.
Still, Obama administration officials
signaled no change in U.S. policy toward
Egypt or clear consequences for the mount-
ing violence. The U.S. has avoided declar-
ing Morsis ouster a coup, a move that
would force the administration to suspend
$1.3 billion in annual military aid to the
strategically important nation, and of-
cials said they continued to believe that
step is not in Americas national security
interests. They said they were engaged in a
continual review of policy toward Egypt
but stressed that there were no changes to
announce.

Israelis, Palestinians kick off peace talks
JERUSALEM With tensions high and expectations low,
Israeli and Palestinian negotiators kicked off their rst sub-
stantive round of peace talks in nearly ve years, huddling
together at an undisclosed location Wednesday in search of an
end to decades of conict.
The meeting was cloaked in secrecy, an attempt by both
sides to prevent leaks to the media and maintain trust.
Officials would say only that the talks took place in
Jerusalem, and there was no immediate comment from either
side. The Israeli government released a brief video showing
the chief negotiators shaking hands as the talks continued
into the evening.
Ahead of the meeting, there already were signs of trouble. A
new Israeli push to build hundreds of new homes in Jewish
settlements and fresh ghting in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip
underscored the tough road ahead.
We are committed to making the effort, for the sake of
Israel and for Israels values, Israels chief negotiator, Tzipi
Livni, told Channel 10 TVbefore the talks began. It will be
complicated and complex, but I am not giving up.
Hong Kong buttons up as
typhoon passes on way to China
HONG KONG Atyphoon lashed Hong Kong with wind
and rain, closing down the bustling Asian nancial center
Wednesday before sweeping toward mainland China.
Ofces, schools and courts were shut and the stock market
halted trading as Typhoon Utor approached, bringing an eerie
calm to the normally busy southern Chinese commercial hub.
Dozens of ights were canceled and bus and commuter ferry
services were curtailed because of the typhoon, which was
packing gale-force winds with gusts of up to 86 mph.
The storm, which also brought rough seas and pouring rain,
was centered about 155 miles west-southwest of Hong Kong
at around 1 p.m. local time.

MADRID Minube, a travel startup
on the outskirts of Madrid, is doing
something that many Spanish compa-
nies havent thought about for years:
Its hiring.
The company, which sells bookings
as it helps travelers share their experi-
ences using social media, has nearly
doubled its headcount from 17 at the
end of last year to 30. Business is
booming as customers come in from
across Europe including some
places hardest hit by Europes eco-
nomic crisis.
Were nally starting to see a big-
ger growth curve in Spain, and the
strong growth in Italy has been a sur-
prise, Minubes co-founder, Pedro
Jareno, said. The improvements we
are starting to see in the market are
constant.
That brighter or less gloomy
backdrop was confirmed in figures
Wednesday, which showed that the
longest-ever recession to afict the
eurozone came to an end in the second
quarter of the year.
Eurostat, the European Unions sta-
tistics ofce, said the 17 EU countries
that use the euro saw their collective
economic output increase by 0.3 per-
cent in the April to June period from
the previous quarter.
Thats the first quarterly growth
since the eurozone slipped into reces-
sion in the last three months of 2011.
The ensuing recession of six quarters
was the longest since the euro currency
was launched in 1999.
The improvement made up for the
previous quarters equivalent decline
and was moderately better than the 0.2
percent anticipated in the markets.
Growth, however anemic, had been
predicted by many economists follow-
ing an easing in market concerns over
Europes debt crisis over the past year
and record low interest rates from the
European Central Bank.
The eurozones growth, which trans-
lates to an annualized rate of about 1.2
percent, is still well below the 1.7 per-
cent the U.S. enjoyed during the sec-
ond quarter. The wider 27-country EU,
which includes non-euro countries
such as Britain and Poland, also
emerged from its own, milder reces-
sion, and like the eurozone is also
growing at an annualized rate of around
1.2 percent.
Growth in Europe provides a boon to
the global economy. The EU, which
now totals 28 nations following
Croatias accession in July, has a pop-
ulation of around 550 million and its
annual gross domestic product stands
at around $17.3 trillion both more
than the U.S., which has GDP of $16.6
trillion for 315 million people.
The EUs recovery marks the rst
time since a brief period in 2011 that
the four major pillars of the world
economy the U.S., China, Japan
and Europe are growing at the same
time.
Eurozones longest-ever
recession comes to an end
By Lara Jakes and Adam Goldman
WASHINGTON Al-Qaida ghters
have been using secretive chat rooms
and encrypted Internet message boards
for planning and coordinating attacks
including the threatened if vague
plot that U.S. ofcials say closed 19
diplomatic posts across Africa and the
Middle East for more than a week.
Its highly unlikely that al-Qaidas
top leader, Ayman al-Zawahri, or his
chief lieutenant in Yemen, Nasser al-
Wahishi, were personally part of the
Internet chatter or, given the intense
manhunt for both by U.S. spy agen-
cies, that they ever go online or pick
up the phone to discuss terror plots,
experts say.
But the unspecied call to arms by
the al-Qaida leaders, using a multi-lay-
ered subterfuge to pass messages from
couriers to tech-savvy underlings to
attackers, provoked a quick reaction
by the U.S. to protect Americans in
far-ung corners of the world where the
terror network is evolving into
regional hubs.
For years, extremists have used
online forums to share information
and drum up support, and over the past
decade they have developed systems
that blend encryption programs with
anonymity software to hide their
tracks. Jihadist technology may now
be so sophisticated and secretive,
experts say, that many communica-
tions avoid detection by National
Security Agency programs that were
specically designed to uncover terror
plots.
A U.S. intelligence ofcial said the
unspecied threat was discussed in an
online forum joined by so many
jihadist groups that it included a repre-
sentative from Boko Haram, the
Nigerian insurgency that has loose and
informal ties to al-Qaida. Two other
intelligence ofcials characterized the
threat as more of an alert to get ready
to launch potential attacks than a dis-
cussion of specic targets.
One of the ofcials said the threat
began with a message from al-
Wahishi, head of the Yemen-based al-
Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, to al-
Zawahri, who replaced Osama bin
Laden as the core al-Qaida leader. The
message essentially sought out al-
Zawahris blessing to launch attacks.
Al-Zawahri, in turn, sent out a
response that was shared on the secre-
tive online jihadi forum.
All three intelligence ofcials spoke
on condition of anonymity because
they were not authorized to discuss the
threat.
Terrorists turn to online chat rooms to evade U.S.

Affordable housing pool
Editor,
Lets face it: The government and
private housing contractors are not
ready to create a pool of affordable
housing units. This problem has been
in gridlock since 1973, and it is gov-
ernment arrogance that transcends
these decades. Every year, our govern-
ment pays lip service that is impor-
tant to have in a diversied county
population.
We do not have an adequate level of
vacancies. Theres too much interfer-
ence by the government that insists a
number of units be set aside for
affordable housing. That simply is
not a good public policy.
In the meantime, rent controls are a
fallacy that do not encourage private
contractors to make investments and
expect a fair market return on invest-
ment. There are many people in San
Francisco who are covered by rent
control for years, yet many of these
renters are not indigenous or poor
people. Many of these renters have
improved their nances and can now
pay market value rents.
Let housing investors build to their
hearts content. At some point, a
pool of empty units may occur and
atten out the cost of renting. It may
take 20 years or it may never occur
thats not so bad.

The health care scare
Editor,
Health and Human Services Secretary
Kathleen Sebelius stated atly years
ago that Im all for a single-payer
system eventually. Now Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid is out of
the health closet, declaring that
Obamacare is the stepping stone ulti-
mately leading to a single-payer health
care system. Obviously, that is the
ultimate solution and should be the
goal the sooner, the better.
The insurance industry is just an
added cost factor that does nothing for
health care, except limit wherever they
can for protability. We are the only
industrialized country with a for-prot
insurance industry regulating health
care, with the result that many dont
get the care they need. So why are so
many, primarily Republicans, against
universal health care in the rst place,
not to mention a single-payer system
with insurance industry phased out?
Along with Social Security and
Medicare, successful health care reform
would provide the third and nal pillar
of Americans social safety net, all pro-
vided by the Democratic Party, and
against erce opposition by
Republicans. GOPs alleged concerns
about a government takeover of
health care, rationing, doctor-
patient relationship or mythical
death panels are just smoke screens.
The real reason for its opposition is a
successful government-backed program
that provides the American public with
affordable, comprehensive health care
will secure an enduring Democratic
majority for years to come. Agovern-
ment that works for universally needed
services is an anti-Republican scare. It
will also become abundantly clear how
the Republican leadership has lied and
fooled the public just to secure their
own control. The GOP is not working
for the common good and for the peo-
ple, but for special interests at the
expense of the rest of the society. And
now they want to shut down the gov-
ernment, which isnt even in their own
shallow self-interest. How unt for
public service can you be?

Petes Harbor siege
Editor,
As a kayaker, I used to like to view
Petes Harbor with its resident boats
and rustic restaurant from the water. It
now looks as if the place is under
siege. It has barriers and police-type
tape blocking the entrance to each
dock. It has high wire fences and
guards blocking it off on the land side
as if it is a prison. The owner and the
developer evicted nearly all of the
boats except one. I have no sympathy
for Petes wife and the developers who
stand to make a killing in a luxury
housing development.
Petes Harbor is now truly an ugly
site.

T
he federal Justice Department
tossed a misguided wrench
into the merger plans of US
Airways and American Airlines, argu-
ing that the publics interest is ill-
served by a commercial passenger-air-
line industry dominated by three or
four mega-airlines.
Wrong. The public interest is far
more poorly served by nancially
weak airlines articially hamstrung
by government lawyers who think
they understand market forces but
clearly do not.
The lawyers concluded that the pub-
lic is better off with two large and
healthy legacy airlines in Delta and
United; one healthy discount airline
in Southwest; one limping, bankrupt
legacy airline in American; and one
midsize contender in US Airways
as opposed to a market contracted
into three large and nancially strong
legacy carriers (Delta, United and the
new, merged American) and discount
player Southwest.
Arizona Attorney General Tom
Horne joined the Justice lawyers in
their suit. Left unchallenged, the
merger would reduce competition and
raise prices, Horne said.
If this vision constitutes a better
market for consumers, it is at best
marginally so.
Price and service negatives for con-
sumers can (and often do) result from
airline consolidation.
Since 2008, the airlines parent
company has lost more than $8 bil-
lion. Americans enormous debt bur-
den, pension costs and other factors
leading to its bankruptcy are not
appreciably changed by one or two
protable quarters.
The Justice lawsuit presumes a
government knows better under-
standing of the future of the commer-
cial passenger-airline industry. That
ignores the rise of aggressive dis-
count carriers such as Allegiant and
Spirit airlines, to say nothing of
expansion-minded Southwest.
The feds may be waving a con-
sumer interest ag, but they are just
as capable of acting out of self-inter-
est as the airlines are.
The longer-term consequences
appear to include an industry dominat-
ed by a pair of stable legacy carriers,
as opposed to three, and a handful of
also-rans handicapped by a govern-
ment that presumes to know more
about market forces than the market
does.
That doesnt strike us as a deal in
the best interest of consumers.

Some spine-tingling
good book suggestions
A
t least Im not alone. After confessing during
a call for book recommendations my struggle
with the highly regarded The Devil in the
White City others came forward to admit they also had
a hard time finding their way through Erik Larsons
intertwining tales of the
1893 Chicagos World
Fair and notorious killer
Dr. H.H. Holmes.
One reader in fact told
me she absolutely hated it
but at a friends urgi ng
had picked up another
Larson book, In the
Garden of Beasts, and
had a completely different
reaction to the story of an
American family navigat-
ing Hitlers Berlin. Give
it a try, she said.
Yet another Devil
defector approached me at a government meeting and
handed over The Expats. Not great literature, she
warned, but it kept her riveted.
But thats the thing. I never called for great except in
the sense that the recommendation be something that
held ones attention or provided good cocktail fodder.
Give me something new to indulge. Give me some-
thing that takes me out of my reading box or even
plays into my favorite genres.
And give readers did, much to my surprise and
delight.
The Gift of Nothing by Mutts cartoon creator P.
McDonnell was one unexpected idea. Five minutes of
the summer but worth sharing with all, the recom-
mender said.
The Fault in Our Stars, came another. The title
sounds sweet, what is the plot? I asked. The direct
answer, Kids with cancer. You know, an uplifting clas-
sic.
Two very different books. Two things I never would
have discovered on my own.
Same goes with The Hangmans Daughter, a mix of
medieval torture, history, some witchcraft and it
appears a whole lot of brutality. The woman recom-
mending it said as much in her message, saying it is
super written but warning me twice not to knock her
for suggesting such a violent book. Note to her: A
peek at my library would place any worries to rest.
Other book ideas and sometimes the books them-
selves came in. The Pillars of the Earth, for one.
The Imperfectionists and The Devils Tooth were
others with a particular journalistic bend and the latter
even including an obsession with sharks. Who needs
Sharknado with this type of recommendation?
One local even suggested his own unpublished manu-
script.
Many didnt stop at individual books but advocated
entire series James Pattersons Womens Murder
Club books, John Sandfords Prey series (Stolen
Prey a particular page turner, Im told), John Grisham
and David Baldacci. Lilian Jackson Braun with her
The Cat Who series, the Travis McGee novels by
John MacDonald (read em all the suggester encour-
aged).
Of course, this same person also recommended one
book I absolutely hated (Wally Lambs Shes Come
Undone; my apologies to him and to Oprahs Book
Club) and one that I have on a must-read list,
Bossypants by Tina Fey. Just goes to show you
never to gauge a persons taste by one book (or its
cover). The list also included a few by author A.M.
Homes whove Ive enjoyed in the past. This book will
change your life. This I discovered was the recommend-
ed books title, not a promise.
Who knows though? Any of these books might be
the one that does change my life, or yours or not.
Perhaps they will be simply a lovely way to let the day
fall way or while away a couple hours here and there.
The same friend who loaned me Brideshead
Revisited, the book on which Im procrastinating and
for which I sought alternatives, said his mother always
told him that if you read, youre never alone.
The same also holds true when you reach out to other
readers.

NEWYORK The stock market fell
on Wednesday as a poor earnings
report from Macys cast doubt on the
outlook for consumer spending, a vital
component of the U.S. economy.
Other department store stocks also
fell after Macys reported disappoint-
ing earnings for the second quarter and
cut its forecast for the year.
The stock markets early summer
rally has zzled out after a strong July,
and August is shaping up to be a lack-
luster month as many traders and
investors take their summer breaks.
The major indexes have drifted lower
in the past week after climbing to all-
time highs at the start of the month.
I do feel we are going to have a
slight negative bias (to stocks), at
least until Labor Day, said Chris
Bertelsen at Global Financial Private
Capital. Weve had a pretty signi-
cant run in the market. People are tak-
ing some of the stocks that have had
big runs, and are moving away from
them.
Consumer discretionary stocks in
the Standard & Poors 500 index,
which include clothing retailers and
restaurant chains, have fallen in the
past month, paring their gains for the
year. Makers of consumer staples,
which investors favored early in the
year because of the steady earnings
they offered, have also dropped in the
last month.
The S&P index closed down 8.77
points, or 0.5 percent, to 1,685.39
The index has declined in six of the
last eight trading days and is at for
the month. In July it jumped 5 percent.
The sell-off was broad. Technology
was the only one of the 10 industry
sectors that rose in the S&P 500.
The Dow Jones industrial average
was down 113.35 points, or 0.7 per-
cent, at 15,337.66, the biggest drop
in six weeks. Twenty-two of the stocks
in the 30-member index declined.
The Nasdaq composite fell 15.17
points, or 0.5 percent, to 3,669.27.
Macys, which operates its name-
sake stores and Bloomingdales,
dropped $2.17, or 4.5 percent, to
$46.33 after its prot fell short of ana-
lysts estimates. Macys blamed shop-
pers reluctance to spend for a slip in
sales.
Nordstrom, a rival to Macys, fell 64
cents, or 1.1 percent, to $59.54. The
company reports its second-quarter
earnings on Thursday. Sears fell 44
cents, or 1 percent, to $41.73.
There were some bright spots for
investors.
Apple rose above $500 for the first
time since January, climbing as high
as $504 during the day, before closing
up $8.93, or 1.8 percent, $498.50.
The companys stock jumped 4.75
percent Tuesday after activist investor
Carl Icahn said he thinks Apple
should be doing more to revive its
stock price. Icahn also said he had a
large, but unspecified stake, in the
company.
The stock market is adjusting to the
prospect of higher interest rates as the
Federal Reserve contemplates easing
back on its stimulus. The central bank
is buying $85 billion of bonds a
month to keep long-term interest rates
low and encourage borrowing and has
said it may cut those purchases if it
feels the economy is strong enough.
Higher interest rates would increase
borrowing costs throughout the econ-
omy.
In government bond trading
Wednesday, the yield on the 10-year
Treasury note slipped to 2.71 percent
from 2.72 percent Tuesday.
The yield has risen sharply since
May 3, when it hit its low for the year
of 1.63 percent, as investors antici-
pate that the Fed will step back from
its bond purchases.
Big dividend payers like utilities and
phone companies have been slumping
since May as Treasury yields have
risen. The higher bond yields have
diminished the appeal of rich-dividend
stocks as a source of income.
Home builders have also been
falling because government bond
yields are used to set mortgage rates. If
mortgage rates increase sharply, it
could cool demand for homes and
squelch a recovery in the housing mar-
ket.
PulteGroup dropped for a seventh
day out of the past eight, declining 26
cents, or 1.7 percent, to $15.11 .
Lennar dropped 50 cents, or 1.6 per-
cent, to $31.66.
Investors may also be turning their
attention to European stocks at the
expense of U.S. markets.
Data showing that the economies of
the countries that use the euro were out
of recession gave a jolt to European
stocks Wednesday. Eurostat, the
European Unions statistics office,
said the eurozone grew 0.3 percent in
the April-to-June period, its first
growth since late 2011.
Stocks slump on Wall Street
Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Wednesday on the
New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market:
NYSE
Macys Inc., down $2.17 to 46.33
Macys trimmed its outlook for the year after posting disappointing sales
gures. The storied retailer says its customers are still uncomfortable
spending money in the current economic environment.
SeaWorld Entertainment Inc., down $1.37 to $34.94
The water theme park belly opped with its rst quarterly nancial report
since going public, as foul weather and higher ticket prices kept crowds
away.
Deere & Co., down $1.57 to $82.34
Prots were much larger than expected during the most recent quarter,
as was revenue, but the agricultural machinery manufacturer said sales
for the current quarter will be lower than last year.Some industry watchers
see a company at the peak of the current industry cycle.
Newmont Mining Corp., up $1.86 to $31.94
Gold futures are up 3.6 percent this week and up more than 4 percent
for the month,giving all gold miners a lift in the midst of a very tough year.
Nasdaq
Apple Inc., up $8.93 to $498.50
Shares of the tech giant hit $500 earlier in the day, the rst time that has
happened since anxiety over iPhone sales sent shares tumbling in
January.Activist investor Carl Icahn announced he has taken a large stake
in the company and said its shares are undervalued.
Cree Inc., down $16.93 to $58.83
A huge prot spike was overshadowed by a cautious outlook from the
maker of energy-efcient lighting. The company projected quarterly
earnings of between 36 and 41 cents, which even at the high end, is
short of Wall Street expectations.
Ebix Inc., up 60 cents to $11.02
The software company announces a partnership to create new medical
training programs for Intels Ultrabook.
Acorn Energy Inc., up 31 cents to $6.74
An agreement to sell and supply one of the worlds largest oil service
companieswith a subsurface mapping system sent shares of the energy
technology and consulting company higher.

Postal Service revamps priority mail program
WASHINGTON The nancially struggling U.S.
Postal Service is revamping its priority mail program to
raise revenue and drive new growth in its package delivery
business.
The agency is now offering free online tracking for pri-
ority mail shipments, free insurance and date-specic
delivery so customers know whether a package will arrive
in one, two or three days.
Postal ofcials said Wednesday they expect the changes
to generate more than $500 million in new annual rev-
enue. The changes including redesigned boxes and
envelopes are effective immediately.
The improvements come as the Postal Service is reeling
from losses this year totaling $3.9 billion. The agency
has been trying to restructure its retail, delivery and mail-
processing operations, but says its nancial woes will
worsen without help from Congress.
Wholesale prices unchanged in July
WASHINGTON Falling energy prices kept a lid on
U.S. wholesale ination in July after a jump in gasoline
boosted prices in June.
The Labor Department reported Wednesday that whole-
sale prices showed no change last month compared with
June, when they rose 0.8 percent. That was the most in
nine months.
Energy costs fell 0.2 percent, after Junes 2.9 percent
surge. Gasoline prices dropped 0.8 percent, and natural
gas costs slid 3.9 percent.
Excluding volatile food and energy costs, so-called core
prices rose just 0.1 percent. Core wholesale prices are up
1.2 percent over the past 12 months, the smallest one-
year increase since November 2010.
Tame ination has helped consumers increase spending
this year despite slow income growth and higher taxes.

NEW YORK The government is
putting its foot down on rising airfares
and fees by blocking the latest airline
merger but for iers, its already too
late.
The past decade has seen the largest
transformation of the airline industry
in a generation. Prior to 2005, there
were nine major U.S. airlines. Today,
just ve.
The merger of American Airlines and
US Airways would bring that number
down to four. But Tuesday, the
Department of Justice moved to block
the deal, saying it would cost con-
sumers hundreds of millions of dollars
a year in higher fares and extra fees.
But even before this, the cost of y-
ing had gone up for consumers as the
industry consolidated. The average
cost of a roundtrip domestic ticket
including baggage and reservation
change fees grew to $378.62 last
year, up from $351.48 in 2008, when
adjusted for ination.
The American-US Airways merger
would create the worlds biggest air-
line and help propel American out of
bankruptcy court protection. For
smaller US Airways, the deal repre-
sents a chance to be a signicant play-
er in global aviation and to better com-
pete with the larger airlines that now
dominate the market.
The latest round of consolidation
started in 2005, when America West
bought US Airways out of bankruptcy,
taking its name. Then Delta and
Northwest merged in 2008, followed
by United and Continental, and
Southwest and AirTran. All of those
easily won the blessing of antitrust
regulators the first two under
President George W. Bush, the second
pair under President Barack Obama.
Airline mergers have already led to higher fares

NEWYORK Ciscos earnings and
revenue grew in the latest quarter as
demand for its computer networking
equipment increased. But CEO John
Chambers called the global economy
challenging and inconsistent and
the company said it is cutting about
4,000 jobs, or about 5 percent of its
work force.
Ciscos revenue guidance for the cur-
rent quarter was weaker than Wall
Street expected, and shares fell sharply
in extended trading.
The companys stock fell $2.51, or
9.5 percent, to $23.87 in extended
trading after the results were released.
The stock closed up 6 cents at $26.38
in the days regular trading session.
Cisco Systems Inc. earned $2.27
billion, or 42 cents per share, in the
three months that ended on July 27.
Thats up from $1.92 billion, or 36
cents per share, a year earlier.
Adjusted earnings were 52 cents per
share in the latest quarter, squeaking
past Wall Streets expectations by a
penny.

HIGH EXPECTATIONS: WITH A TOP-5 PRESEASON RANKINGS, STANFORD FOOTBALL HAS A LOT RIDING ON THIS SEASON >> PAGE 12
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Perhaps youve thought about starting
some kind of sports team. You play the fran-
chise modes on Madden or MLB: The
Show video games, where you put a team
together and take it through a season.
How hard could it be?
Ask Dan Palladino, owner/general man-
ager/pitching coach/groundskeeper and the
wearer of several other
hats of the edgling San
Mateo Rounders, a colle-
giate summer baseball
team. The Rounders
recently completed its
inaugural season with a
third-place nish in the
Northern California
C o l l e g i a t e
Championship Tournament.
Playing in two different leagues, the
Rounders nished the summer with an over-
all mark of 15-37-1. It took its lumps in the
Horizon Air Summer Series, a well-estab-
lished summer league, going 2-21-1. In the
rst-year Pacic West Baseball League, the
Rounders were a lot more respectable, going
12-13.
It nished 2-2 in the PWBL playoffs,
earning a spot in the Northern California
Collegiate Championship Tournament,
where it nished 1-2.
Palladino, a 2008 graduate of Carlmont
High School, is working toward his busi-
ness degree at San Francisco State. He saw a
void in the San Mateo area after the NorCal
Longhorns folded when the general manag-
er/owner had to step away because of health
reasons. Palladino was a catcher on that
squad and was not ready to give up the game.
San Mateo Rounders complete inaugural season
Trailing 2-0 at halftime, their
record winning streak in jeopardy,
the Americans never panicked.
There was no need to, not with
Jozy Altidore on their team.
Altidore led an impressive
comeback Wednesday, scoring a
hat trick and adding an assist on
the other goal as the U.S. rallied to
beat Bosnia-Herzegovina 4-3 in
an exhibition in Sarajevo and
extend its record winning streak to
12 games. It was the rst come-
from-behind win on European soil
for the Americans.
We came in (at halftime) and
said, Listen we can beat this
team, said Altidore, who has
scored in ve straight games, a
rst for a U.S. player. We came in
and said, We have more weapons,
were just as condent as they are.
We just have to put more passes
together and be more condent.
And you saw that in the second
half.
The 12-game winning streak is
the longest in the world right now,
and three shy of the record set by
Spain in 2009. The win over 13th-
ranked Bosnia was the second over
a top-15 team during the run, fol-
lowing a 4-3 victory over No. 2
Germany on June 2 that started the
streak.
Edin Dzeko scored his second
goal in the 90th minute. But it
wasnt enough for the Dragons,
who lost for the rst time in 10
games.
We absolutely deserved the
win, U.S. coach Jurgen
Klinsmann said. This is good for
the guys to see that were going to
come to Europe and play eye to
eye. Were not here to defend or
counterbreak. Were here to play.
U.S. adds to streak

T
he 49ers have experienced it. So
have the Oakland Raiders. The big
news Wednesday came out of New
England Patriots training camp.
What is it? The dreaded injury bug. The
49ers lost arguably their best wide receiv-
er, Michael Crabtree, to a ruptured
Achilles tendon, as well linebacker
Patrick Willis to a broken hand, although
Willis is expected to be back for the sea-
son opener.
San Francisco also
lost the services of
defensive back Chris
Culliver, who tore up
his knee.
The Raiders lost
their best offensive

had a heart attack

Tom Brady went
down in practice yesterday, grasping his

You can almost choose any team in the
NFL and nd it has lost a key player to
injury: Seattle will be without newly
acquired wideout Percy Harvin, Browns
running back Mario Hardesty is having
season-ending knee surgery, while the San
Diego Chargers receiving corps has been
decimated by injuries.
What gives? I know football is a contact
sport and injuries are part of the game. But
I cant ever remember seeing so many key
players go down before a real snap of
football has been played. The cause?
Again, who knows. Could it be the affects
of long-term performance-enhancing drug
use? Possibly. Bad luck? Certainly.
Maybe its like what they say about
baseball pitchers you only have so
many pitches in an arm. Maybe players
can only tax their bodies so much before

SANTA CLARA Over all those years
and thousands of practice snaps, the stingy
San Francisco defense never got to put a hit
on Alex Smith.
And this is a group known for its vicious
blows, from sack man Aldon Smith at line-
backer to pounding safety Donte Whitner.
So, no surprise Smiths former teammates
on the opposite side of the ball will be sali-
vating to nally chase down the quarterback
when they face him and
the Chiefs in a preseason
game at Kansas City on
Friday night.
Theres a rst time for
everything, linebacker
NaVorro Bowman said,
smiling. We never got a
chance to hit him. This
time we can. Were look-
ing forward to it. I know
Alex knows were coming. Its football,
man. Hes on another team and we have to
go out there and play our game.
Cornerback Carlos Rogers plans to talk
trash because, he insists, Smith will cer-
tainly be expecting it from this group.
Hell probably come after me because we
were always talking junk during practices
while he was here. Im going to take a look
at the lm and see what we can come up
with, Rogers said. It will be really fun.
Im pretty sure hes going to be talking
junk. Hes going to want to go at our
defense because now he gets the opportuni-
t y. When he was here we didnt really go
against the 1 offense unless it was training
camp.
Smith has begun anew in the AFC with the
Chiefs after being traded in March. He lost
his starting job with San Francisco in
November to Colin Kaepernick.
Smith certainly sounds as if he will leave
the personal ties out of it Friday rather
focusing on preparing his offense with a
matchup against one of the NFLs top
defenses in recent years.

STANFORD The smart kids are not sneaking up on
anybody this season.
Since Stanford rst elded a football team in 1892,
never have the Cardinal carried so much momentum. The
defending Pac-12 champions and Rose Bowl winners
return almost everybody from a domi-
nant defense, an intriguing quarterback
who is still undefeated as a starter and
the conferences twice reigning coach
of the year.
Once thought out of reach for a pres-
tigious academic university, Stanford
has risen to a national title contender
that everybody is taking seriously
now.
The Cardinal nished with a No. 7
ranking in the AP poll last season and could crack the
preseason top ve for the rst time in school history
when the rankings are released Saturday and has made a
BCS bowl the last three years.
The biggest thing for us is to continue to push the
envelope and not buy into the fact that Stanford can have
success but not continue to be successful, Cardinal coach
David Shaw said. I dont carry a lot of chips on my shoul-
der, but I carry that one.
After coming up one win short of a possible berth in the
BCS championship game the past three seasons, the
Cardinal believe this could nally be their year to win it
all.
Here are ve things to watch as Stanford tries to crack
college footballs marquee game this season:
1. QB Kevin Hogan
The dual-threat quarterback sparked Stanfords surge last
season, going 5-0 after taking over for Josh Nunes.
Hogan led wins over four ranked teams including at top-
ranked Oregon before beating Wisconsin for Stanfords
rst Rose Bowl victory in 41 years. The redshirt sopho-
more quarterback will be asked to carry the Cardinal
offense more this season with all new starters at wide
receiver, tight end and running back.
2. Catching the ball
All-American tight end Zach Ertz and 6-foot-8 target
Levine Toilolo are in the NFL now. Wide receivers Drew
Terrell and Jamal-Rashad Patterson also graduated. Along
with school-rushing leader Stepfan Taylor, the quintet
combined to catch 18 of Stanfords 19 touchdown passes
last season. Stanford is hoping Ty Montgomery, who had
a strong freshman season but was saddled most of his
sophomore year with a knee injury, will bounce back
stronger. Devon Cajuste and Michael Rector, who red-
shirted last season after tearing the posterior cruciate lig-
ament in his right knee, both impressed in the spring and
could make some noise this fall. Luke Kaumatule is
expected to start at tight end, but the Cardinal are counting
on at least one if not two highly touted freshmen to
emerge from among Eric Cotton, Austin Hooper and Eric
Taboada.
3. Offensive shake-up
Mike Bloomgren takes over the primary play-calling
responsibilities for Pep Hamilton, who left to be the
offensive coordinator for Andrew Luck and the
Indianapolis Colts. Bloomgren oversaw the run game and
offensive line the past two seasons, and in many ways,
already has been the coordinator considering the Cardinal
ran the ball 57.9 percent of the time last season.
Bloomgrens job should be made easier because of the per-
sonnel group he groomed. The offensive line is stacked
and could be one of the best in the country again in
front of a rotation of running backs that will ll Taylors
spot, most notably Anthony Wilkerson and Tyler
Gaffney, who returns for his nal season of eligibility
after playing baseball in the minors last year.
4. Defensive dominance
With offense working in new starters at the skill posi-
tions, Stanford will need its defense to dominate the way
it did last season. The Cardinal ranked rst nationally in
sacks (4.07) and second in tackles for loss (8.86) per
game. They held opponents to 17.21 points per game,
best in the high-scoring Pac-12 and 17th in the nation.
Nine of the 11 starters are back and depth is at an all-time
high, especially at linebacker, where Shayne Skov and
Trent Murphy anchor the vaunted 3-4 defense.
5. Stiff schedule
If Stanford wants to repeat as Pac-12 champion, let
alone play for a national title, the Cardinal will have to
earn it. The nation will be tuned in for what could be the
biggest weeknight game in college football on Thursday,
Nov. 7, when Oregon visits Stanford Stadium. But
Stanford has plenty of big games before that, including
Washington (Oct. 5), UCLA(Oct. 19) and at Oregon State
(Oct. 26), before traveling to Southern California (Nov.
16) and welcoming Notre Dame (Nov. 30) in the regular-
season nale.
Predicted ni sh i n conference: Second in the Pac-
12 North.
Hopes soar for Stanford
David Shaw
By Josh Dubow
BERKELEY The rst major question Sonny Dykes must
answer as football coach at California is the same one that
bedeviled his predecessor Jeff Tedford in his nal years as
Golden Bears coach.
Tedfords inability to nd and develop a top quarterback
after Aaron Rodgers left for the NFLfollowing the 2004 sea-
son ultimately led to his ring after a 3-9 season in 2012
despite being the winningest coach in
school history and spearheading the
project to renovate Memorial Stadium
and build a new team facility.
Dykes has whittled a three-man compe-
tition down to two in fall camp with red-
shirt freshman Zach Kline and freshman
Jared Goff left battling for the job.
The winner of that battle will play a big
determining factor in how Cal does in its
rst season under Dykes.
Our success is going to be determined
by the level of play that we get from our quarterback,
Dykes said.
Here are ve things to watch for Cal in Dykes rst season
as coach:
1. Quarterback quandary
Settling on the quarterback is the most important deci-
sion for Dykes, who already eliminated junior Austin Hinder
from the competition early in fall camp. While neither
Kline nor Goff has taken a snap in college, both participat-
ed in spring ball under Dykes and new offensive coordinator
Tony Franklin and are growing more comfortable with the
offense. Kline has the advantage of spending last year in
the program to get acclimated to college and has the
stronger arm of the two. Goff is the more accurate passer and
has more experience running a spread offense.
2. Big-play Bigelow
Brendan Bigelow proved to be quite a tease for Cal fans
last year when he averaged 9.8 yards per carry and had elec-
trifying runs of 59 and 81 yards on his four carries at Ohio
State. But Bigelow got only 44 carries and caught seven
passes all season as he struggled to grasp Tedfords intricate
offense. Bigelow missed spring ball with a knee injury but
should be a much better t in Dykes simpler attack that
emphasizes speed. Whether he will be used as an every-
down running back or a change-of-pace player who mostly
gets the ball in space remains to be seen.
3. Redening roles
With the shift from Tedfords pro-style offense to Dykes
Bear Raid spread attack, there are no longer any players list-
ed as tight ends on the roster. Richard Rodgers lost about 30
pounds in order to switch from tight end to an inside receiv-
er position. If he can make that change seamlessly it could
give Cals quarterback a deep receiving corps that also
includes Bryce Treggs, Chris Harper and Darius Powe. Chris
McCain, who excelled as an outside linebacker in last years
3-4 defense, will have to adjust to playing end in a 4-3
scheme.
4. Comeback kids
Cals defense should get a boost with linebacker Khairi
Fortt and cornerback Stefan McClure back from knee
injuries. Fortt, a transfer last summer from Penn State, will
provide needed speed and playmaking ability to the line-
backer corps. McClure was emerging as a topight corner-
back before suffering a major injury that cost him all of last
season.
5. Sticky scheduling
Dykes inherited a brutal rst-year schedule that includes
ve teams ranked in the top 20 of the nal poll last season,
including four of the rst seven games. The Bears have non-
conference games against Northwestern and Ohio State in
the rst three weeks of the season, as well as road games at
Oregon and defending Pac-12 South champion UCLA and a
home contest with Oregon State before the end of October.
The schedule is capped by a season-ending trip to defending
Rose Bowl champion Stanford, making a bowl bid a tough
goal in year one of the Dykes era.

WASHINGTON Denard Span made a diving catch in deep
center eld with two runners on base for the nal out, and the
Washington Nationals held off the San Francisco Giants 6-5
Wednesday night for their fth straight victory.
Jordan Zimmermann (14-6) increased his NL-leading win
total, allowing one run in seven innings and outpitching
Tim Lincecum (6-12). Washington matched its longest win-
ning streak of the season and moved within one victory of
.500 for the rst time since July 20.
The Giants scored once in the ninth off Rafael Soriano, and
put runners on rst and second with two outs. Hunter Pence
hit a drive to left-center, and Span ran it down near the warn-
ing track to preserve the win.
Soriano worked around Brandon Belts RBI single in the
ninth and, helped by Spans grab, earned his 31st save.
Ian Desmond homered and Anthony Rendon had two RBIs
in a ve-run fourth inning that put Washington up 6-1.
Zimmermann gave up six hits, walked two and struck out
two. After going 1-3 in his previous four starts, the right-
hander permitted only two runners past second base.
In his last 42 regular-season starts, Zimmermann is 23-8
with a 3.01 ERA. Washington is 31-11 in those games.
Lincecum surrendered six runs and seven hits in six
innings. The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner allowed a
combined three runs over 22 innings in his previous three
starts.
Belt homered and Pablo Sandoval had three hits for the
last-place Giants, who have lost eight of 11 to fall a season-
high 15 games under .500 (52-67). Since the All-Star break,
the defending World Series champions are 9-16.
The Giants used a walk to Pence, a stolen base and a two-
out single by Roger Kieschnick to manufacture a second-
inning run.
In the bottom half, Desmond needed only one swing to tie
it. His 17th home run was his 10th career hit in 12 at-bats
against Lincecum, including two longballs.
San Francisco got two singles and a walk to load the bases
with two outs in the fourth for Lincecum, an .098 lifetime
hitter who bounced into a force play.
Similarly, two singles and an intentional walk loaded the
bases for Washington in the bottom half, and the Nationals
took full advantage of the situation. Rendon hit a two-run
double and Kurt Suzuki followed with an RBI single. Awild
pitch by Lincecum let in another run, and Ryan Zimmerman
capped the uprising with a run-scoring single.
After Zimmermann left, the Giants pierced the Washington
bullpen for three runs in the eighth. Belt homered off Ian
Krol and Sandoval doubled in two runs off Ryan Mattheus
before Tyler Clippard struck out Kieschnick and Gregor
Blanco.
Sandovals three hits were one more than he had in his pre-
vious seven games. Blanco went 0 for 3 and is batting .113
since the All-Star break, and teammate Buster Posey broke
out of a 3-for-26 skid with singles in the eighth and ninth.

NAPA The Oakland Raiders sustained a sig-
nicant blow Wednesday with the news that
starting left tackle Jared Veldheer will need sur-
gery on his torn left triceps and will miss a sig-
nicant portion of the upcoming season.
Veldheer has been bothered by the triceps
throughout training camp and had a second MRI
performed on Tuesday when it did not feel any
better. After consulting with doctors and the
team, Veldheer decided to have the surgery.
Its a disappointment for all of us, coach
Dennis Allen said. But again were going to
play 16 games this year. The teams that are able
to push through those things mentally, those
are the teams that have success. Everybody has
injuries. Thats one well just have to deal
with.
Allen said Veldheer would miss a signicant
amount of time but hoped he would be back at
some point this season. Allen said Veldheer
would be a candidate to be placed on injured
reserve with a designation to return, which
would require him to miss at
least the rst eight weeks.
The Raiders can place
Veldheer on that list start-
ing Sept. 3. He would be
required to sit for six weeks
and then could practice for
two more before being eli-
gible to be activated in time
for the teams eighth game
on Nov. 3 against
Philadelphia.
Teams can only use that designation on one
player and Allen said he wouldnt know for sure
whether that would be an option for Veldheer
until after the surgery.
The injury to Veldheer gives a shot at a start-
ing role to Alex Barron, a former rst-round
pick by the St. Louis Rams who has not played
a game in the NFLsince 2010.
Of course its an opportunity, Barron said.
First and foremost its an opportunity to be
here, period. Its another opportunity obvious-
ly to go up on the chart and help the team as best
I can. My whole thing is Im going to continue
to work and try to help the team as best I can.
Barron was drafted 19th overall in 2005 out
of Florida State but struggled for almost his
entire ve seasons in St. Louis. He started 74
games and played both left and right tackle but
was plagued by penalties and poor blocking.
He committed 43 false start penalties
including 13 in 2006 and 13 holding penal-
ties while allowing 33 sacks, according to
game tracking from STATS LLC.
He was traded to Dallas in 2010 and played 11
games with the Cowboys. But Barron hasnt
played since, spending a little time with New
Orleans and Seattle without ever getting into a
game.
I think Alex has been playing very well,
quarterback Matt Flynn said. I was with him in
camp last year in Seattle. He seems like a differ-
ent guy here. Hes playing well, playing
aggressive and really coming into his own.
Veldheer was perhaps Oaklands most indis-
pensable player, given his talent and the impor-
tance of the position he plays. He had started
the past 42 games at left tackle, missing only
one offensive snap in that entire time.
Athird-round pick out of Hillsdale College in
2010, Veldheer was an emerging left tackle in
the NFLwho was counted on as a major piece of
the Raiders rebuilding project. Veldheer was
rated by Pro Football Focus as the eighth best
pass-blocking left tackle in the NFL last sea-
son. He has been responsible for just four sacks
in each of the past two seasons, according to
STATS LLC.
Its a real big blow, right tackle Khalif
Barnes said. Jareds a big part of our line. Hes
a big guy. He comes to work every day, you
never hear him complaining, just tries to go in,
get the job done, he just tries to perfect his craft
every day at practice. Hes a good part of our
team, a good leader for our team.
The Raiders have been hampered by injuries
on the line throughout camp. Right guard Mike
Brisiel has been out all week as he struggles to
recover from offseason ankle surgery. Lucas
Nix, who is batting with Tony Bergstrom for
the left guard spot, has also missed signicant
time in camp with an undisclosed injury.
Second-round pick Menelik Watson has not
practiced all camp with a calf injury.

Not that the endeavor went as smoothly
as he thought, but it went well enough that
he would do it all over again.
I thought the whole dynamic of the semi-
pro league was pretty cool. I thought I had
an in to start a team of my own. I thought
I could start one, Palladino said. It was a
lot harder than I thought it would be, to be
honest. It turned out to be a lot more
work.
But when it comes together, it feels good
to watch it happen.
From getting a ctitious business license
and setting up nonprot organization, cre-
ating a logo and team name, nding spon-
sors, nding eld space on which to play,
paying for umpires, setting up a schedule,
and the hardest part getting players,
Palladino did it all, with the help of manag-
er Eric Burns and friend/teammate Whaylan
Price.
In the end, Palladino felt it was worth it.
I had such a good time. It was a great
experience, Palladino said. It was awe-
some. Playing ball all summer was great.
We played over 50 games. It was a long
summer of baseball. Everyone had a good
experience.
Palladino said the most difcult part of the
entire project was nding enough players
willing to commit time and money to the
Rounders. It wasnt cheap players had to
pony up $500 for the season and it wasnt
everybodys cup of tea, so to speak.
Palladino said 60 players came through the
program this summer some for one game,
others for the entire season. He said the
Rounders started playing their best ball of
the season at the end of year, mainly
because the team latched onto a core of
players who were committed to the team.
Palladino said players such as Price,
Hayden Hibberd, Victor Barron, John
Buchman, Chris Freeman and Josh Jeremiah
were fairly committed to the entire season
and their dedication paid off as the work
they put in throughout the summer translat-
ed to a hot streak at the end of the year.
Palladino said he knew he needed to do
something about the roster during a game
about three-quarters of the way through the
season when he showed up at a game at San
Mateo High School and the Rounders had
ve or six pitchers playing eld positions.
I show up and theres only nine guys
there, Palladino said It was a league game.
An important game. After that, I knew we
needed to make some changes.
First, I could have folded the team. I
entertained the thought. But we had come so
far, I decided to make one last push. At that
point, we had the funds to nish out the sea-
son, so we picked up some guys to help us
out. We were able to get that team we were
looking for all year.
When we started our roster, we took pret-
ty much anyone who could pay the fee.
Were not necessarily going to pick up 60
guys (next year). I think next year, we
should be able to nd 12 position players to
play every day, get 100 at-bats. Thats kind
of what I nished with this year.
Palladino plans on keeping the team
going next year and, if nothing else, he is
providing players an opportunity to hone
their skills for the next college season.
I love baseball and want to provide good
baseball and allow kids out of high school
(and college) to experience minor-league
type baseball, Palladino said. (At this
level) youre battling more than just the
ball. The guys who are willing to buy in get
a real good experience. Theyll show up at
their college camps (in the fall) and be a
step ahead of everyone else.

Tom Brady sprains left knee
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Tom Brady
walked off the eld under his own power.
Several teammates didnt think he was hurt
badly when he grabbed his left knee after
being knocked down.
Yet the possibility that the New England
Patriots might lose their star quarterback
caused a scare at the teams joint practice
with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on
Wednesday.
A person with knowledge of the injury
said an MRI was negative and Brady was
day-to-day with a left knee sprain. Asked if
Brady might play Friday night in an exhibi-
tion game against the Buccaneers, the per-
son said he didnt know.
The person spoke on condition of
anonymity because the Patriots didnt make
an announcement.
The two-time league MVP had a season-
ending injury to the same knee in the 2008
opener.
Brady was injured midway through prac-
tice Wednesday when left tackle Nate Solder
was pushed into him by Tampa Bay defen-
sive end Adrian Clayborn. Brady, entering
his 14th NFL season, fell, rocked backward
on the ground and held his left knee.
He went to the sideline then returned for a
few more plays before talking with coach
Bill Belichick and leaving the eld toward
the teams indoor practice facility next to it.
Youve always got to stay away from the
quarterback (in practice), Clayborn said.
You got a guy on his heels and my instinct
is to keep going, so thats what I did.

MLS GLANCE
The U.S. winning streak, the longest cur-
rently in the world, appeared to be jeopardy
after the Americans fell behind 2-0 before
halftime.
The Bosnians quickly pounced on a
Johnson turnover in the eighth minute and
fed it to Dzeko. His rst shot, from just
inside the penalty area, deected off Tim
Howard, but Dzeko was right there to collect
the rebound and put it in the net for a 1-0
lead. Vedad Ibisevic, who spent part of his
childhood in St. Louis and still has immedi-
ate family there, doubled Bosnias lead in
the 30th on a header.
But the U.S. was beginning to create
chances even before the half, and
Klinsmann told his players in the locker
room that the game was still very much up
for grabs.
Jurgen has always said, even if we go
down a goal, keep responding, Altidore
said.
Respond they did. Resoundingly.
Altidore set up Johnsons goal in the 55th
minute, controlling a long chip shot from
Michael Bradley with a slight touch of his
left foot. The ball fell right at Johnsons
feet and, with goalkeeper Asmir Begovic
out of the net to block Altidore, Johnson
neatly tapped the ball into the empty net to
cut Bosnias lead to 2-1.
Four minutes later, Altidore evened things
up.
Fabian Johnson slalomed through a crowd
of Bosnian defenders, chipping the ball to
Altidore. He took one shot and buried a left-
footed shot from 16 yards that the diving
Begovic had no chance to stop. It was
Altidores fth goal in as many games,
breaking the previous mark hed shared with
Eddie Johnson, William Looby, Eric
Wynalda, Brian McBride and Landon
Donovan.
He wasnt nished, either.
The Americans were awarded a free kick in
the 84th minute when Edgar Castillo was
tripped by Miroslav Stevanovic. Altidore
lifted the ball over the wall of Bosnians and
into the back of the net. Two minutes later,
he nished off his second career hat trick
with a shot from about 8 yards out.
We see a Jozy that is enjoying himself,
Klinsmann said of his striker, who has
seven goals in the last ve games. He went
through a lot of maturing elements over last
couple of years ... But he really understands
now how to zoom in when it counts. He
makes everyone around him a better player.
Its real enjoyable, its really fun.
SOCCER
Regardless of the fact that I used to play
there, theyre a good defensive unit, he said
Theyre a really good defensive unit, and
theyll be a good test for us. I mean, they
dont have many weaknesses on that side of
the ball. Itll be a really good test for us.
Given Smiths long history with the 49ers,
an up-and-down, eight-year tenure lled
with numerous promotions and demotions,
not to mention injuries after they selected
him with the No. 1 draft pick out of Utah in
2005, he still has many supporters in his old
locker room.
Running back Frank Gore is rooting for
him, tight end Vernon Davis, too. And
Kaepernick, of course.
They have spoken a couple of times during
the offseason, though Kaepernick declined to
elaborate.
He did a lot for me, Alex was someone that
really helped me pick up the playbook, under-
stand what we were trying to get done and how
we wanted to do it, Kaepernick said
Wednesday. I wouldnt be as far along as I am
right now without him. Personally, hes a
great guy, hes a class act. I have nothing bad
to say about him. Hes always helped me, hes
always put the team rst.
It was Smith who took it upon himself to
lead San Franciscos players in workouts at
nearby San Jose State during the 2011 NFL
lockout that became known as Camp Alex,
a step in his leadership that put the team in
position to end a franchise-worst stretch of
eight seasons without a playoff berth or win-
ning record. After all those boos from his
own fans during the struggles, he had made
good at last.
For his example, and so many other things,
coach Jim Harbaugh is grateful to this day.
Even if he made the tough choice to go with
Kaepernick for last seasons stretch run.
Smith largely thrived under the direction of
Harbaugh, a 15-year NFLquarterback himself.
Its personal with Alex. It probably is dif-
ferent in that way, Harbaugh said. Feel like
theres a great friendship there and a lot of
history. Hes a unique person. Avery good, in
all ways, a good friend. No longer on our
team. Not a trusted agent anymore.
Come Friday, both sides will try to keep all
the mixed emotions off the eld. Though the
history will clearly provide some preseason
fuel.
Now well get a chance to hit him,
Rogers said. He had on the jersey and we
couldnt touch the quarterback, so Im pretty
sure our D-line will be happy about that, too.

Housekeeping, drudgery? Not to us
members of the unofcial clean club.
You know if you belong: You enthu-
siastically discuss your favorite clean-
ing tools, staying loyal to equipment
and techniques that have served you
well over the years. You understand the
difference between a crevice tool and
an upholstery nozzle. Vacuuming? You
see it as an art.
But what if you dont love to clean?
Well, chances are you still need to suck
it up. Here are some tips on methods
and machines to help make the chore
of vacuuming less of a challenge:
VACUUMING HOW-TO
Kit Selzer, senior editor at Better
Homes & Gardens magazine, says you
shouldnt begin cleaning by vacuum-
ing.
Vacuum after youve dusted. Pick up
every possible thing from the oor,
and move dining chairs and side tables
out of the way so you have as much
open space as possible, she says.
Professional house cleaners call this
top down cleaning you start at the
top of the room, so particulates settle.
Tackle ceiling corners, window treat-
ments, furniture and nally the oors.
Selzer also suggests keeping the
attachments crevice tools and small
brushes handy as you get started.
Theyre invaluable for getting dust,
dirt and pet hair while you already have
the vacuum out. Use the crevice tool in
corners and along the baseboards, the
upholstery brush on anything made of
fabric, and the dusting brush on
blinds, books and lampshades, she
advises.
How often should you vacuum?
Frequently, especially in high-trafc
areas. It keeps dirt from getting ground
in and keeps carpet bers from getting
matted. Selzer says vacuuming once a
week is good for the average carpet.
Other tips:
Small rugs act like mini mops,
gathering up a lot of debris. Take them
outdoors if possible for a good shake
before vacuuming. If you cant do that,
vacuum the rug thoroughly on both
sides, roll it up and put it aside until
the oors been dealt with.
For big rugs, the Dalton, Ga.,-
based Carpet and Rug Institute recom-
mends slow, overlapping motions
front to back. Start from the center of
the rug and move out to the edges to
prevent fraying. Dont go over one
spot too many times; make three or
four passes. Shaw Floors, makers of
carpet, wood, tile and laminate oor-
ing, has advice on their website,
www.shawoors.com : Use a rotating
brush or comb beater brush attachment
to agitate and loosen deep dirt. But
thick wool pile rugs, shags and cabled
weaves can get fuzzy or tangled with
this brush, so stick to the suction-

Push for harmony among
workers, young and old
By Matt Sedensky
CHICAGO Theres a sense of urgency to the quest for
workplace harmony, as baby boomers delay retirement and
work side-by-side with people young enough to be their
children or grandchildren.
Put people of widely different ages together and there
are bound to be differences. Baby boomers, for example, are
workaholics, while younger workers may demand more of a
work-life balance.
The solution for a growing number of companies: genera-
tional awareness training to help foster understanding and
more effective communication among its workers.
Employees are taught about the characteristics that dene
each generation, from their core values to their childhood
and adolescent experiences to the type of gures they regard
as heroes. Then workshop leaders typically drill down into
how those attributes play into the strengths and weakness-
es each age group offers on the job.
The goal is that by learning why people of different gen-
erations act the way they do, companies can better empha-
size their employees strengths and nd ways to overcome
challenges
The Boomers say, Now I understand a little bit more of
why theyre always on their phones, said Juergen Deutzer,
who leads generational training at San Diego-based Scripps
Health for about 200 employees a year. Gen Y says,
Maybe I need to be a little bit more understanding if some-
one doesnt get a grasp on technology.
Companies downplay friction between old and young
workers as a reason for training. They say its more a matter
of helping people of different ages connect, which affects
group cohesion, employee satisfaction and the overall qual-
ity of work.
There was no animosity, no aggression, none of that,
said Scott Redfearn, the top human resources executive at
Protiviti, a global consulting rm based in Menlo Park that

only attachment for them.
Change the direction of your vacuum
passes frequently.
For bare oors, use a good, soft brush to
protect the oor. Brushes will harden over
time so need to be replaced.
Replace your machine when it no longer
sucks like it used to. But make sure its not
just suffering from a clogged hose, lter or
intake. Resist the fun of slurping up coins
or small objects, as they can jam up the
hose or, worse, the motor.
Empty the canister or vacuum bag when
its a half to three-quarters full; dont wait
until its stuffed. By then, you havent been
sucking up anything, just dispersing dirt by
moving the vacuum around.
Got pets? Use crevice tools and uphol-
stery nozzles to remove hair from tiny cor-
ners and baseboards as well as furniture.
Vacuum throw pillows, mattresses and cur-
tains weekly, to remove pet dander and fur.
CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON
There are two camps when it comes to reg-
ular vacuum models: uprights and canisters.
Canister fans tout the tote-ability of a
lightweight machine that can be easily car-
ried up stairs and maneuvered from room to
room, and has a wand that gets under furni-
ture. Upright lovers prefer to push than
pull; these models tend to glide easily
across oors and carpeting, and the dirt
receptacle generally has a larger capacity
than can vacs.
Canister faves include Eurekas Mighty
Mite, Mieles Olympus and Delphi models,
the Bissell Zing and Panasonics Opti Flow.
Well-rated uprights include the Shark
Navigator Elite, the Dyson DC41 Animal,
Hoover Wind Tunnel, Miele Cat & Dog and
Bissell Clean View.
Orecks line of uprights and canisters are
light-weight and low-prole, with long-
lasting belts and room-friendly bumpers
and wheels.
Electroluxs Precision Brushroll Clean
upright has a switch that gathers up tangled
hair on the brush and shoots it into the dust
compartment great for families with
teenage daughters and golden retrievers. A
lightweight, cordless stick vac from
Electrolux, designed just for bare oors,
comes in color accents that might appeal to
college-bound kids.
Dysons line is certied by the Asthma
and Allergy Foundation of America. Its
multi-oor model has a long, 16-foot cord
and a large-capacity dust bin. All of
Dysons vacuums are bagless. The compa-
ny recently introduced a cordless machine
thats a kind of hybrid vacuum/ Swiffer. The
Dyson Hard has a double-edged cleaner head
that sucks up dirt, and also has a wet wipe to
remove dust and grime in one action.
Many people swear by hand vacuums.
Since Black and Decker introduced the Dust
Buster in 1979, portable vacuums have
been the go-to tool for quick cleaning of
cars, baby chairs or little dumps of crumbs.
Other handheld machines include the Dirt
Devil Extreme Power and the Filter Stream
Dirt Tamer the latter a kind of mini wet-
vac; itll deal with dry or damp messes.
Roomba is the market leader in robot vac-
uum cleaners, those little round gadgets
that clean on their own and have a recharge-
able battery. Their top-end model has not
one but two HEPA(high efciency particu-
late air) filters. Moneuals Rydis robot
cleaner has a lot of different cleaning
modes, and an optional microfiber mop
attachment. Neato Robotics XV Signature
Pro creates a vertical map of the room
before it gets to work.
Just like us clean freaks.
VACUUM
began offering generational training earlier
this year. But you really need the team
dynamic to work well because its that col-
lective genius of the team with all kinds of
people, all kinds of background, all differ-
ent generations.
Protiviti was seeing a higher turnover rate
among its youngest employees and an inter-
nal survey found those workers craved more
guidance from their superiors. The company
revised its performance review system,
started giving employees more feedback
and changed the way it used social media. It
also began putting executives and managers
through training led by Chuck Underwood,
an expert on generational differences. By
next year, all new employees at Protiviti
will go through a session, alongside more
traditional training fare on topics such as
sexual harassment, diversity and ethics.
Jennifer Luke, a 33-year-old Protiviti
employee, attended two 90-minute sessions
this summer and was struck by how closely
the generational attributes she learned
about applied to her and others in her life.
Its an awareness tool. You think about it
if youre going to send an email to a client,
for example, she said. You just take an
extra minute or two as youre planning a
project or communicating with a client to
think about how youre structuring those
communications.
Gen Xers prefer to work individually.
Boomers and Millennials thrive in groups.
The oldest workers, from the Silent
Generation, are known for loyalty and
respect for authority; the youngest, from a
yet-unnamed generation, are far more infor-
mal and global-minded. Language and cul-
tural references, naturally, vary widely by
age.
Ingrid Hassani, a 58-year-old patient care
manager at Scripps, said learning about
generational differences helped explain
why older nurses might hesitate to approach
doctors, viewing them almost like God,
while younger nurses are very comfortable
to go right up and talk to them. It also
helped when she found her younger subordi-
nates were cutting corners in the hospitals
18-step process for giving a patient medica-
tion as simple as Tylenol. Millennials tend
to want explanations for everything theyre
told to do rather than just following orders,
as older workers might.
They want to know the why behind
everything, Hassani said. But once their
questions are answered, they are ne.
When Lisa Williams, executive director of
the University of Kentucky Institute for
Workplace Innovation, held focus groups
with local businesses to determine the most
pressing issues of an aging workforce, gen-
erational differences dominated the discus-
sion. Now shes working to get a genera-
tional training program started.
Most of the time there was no conict,
but there were these islands of older workers
and younger workers, she said, and
theyre not able to understand the others, so
theres a lot of judgment.
Underwood said he began getting a ood
of calls from human resources departments
in the mid-2000s as Millennials began their
careers.
Somethings going on in our workplace
that we dont understand, he remembered
being told. What was going on was the
next American generation was entering
adulthood, bringing very different core val-
ues, very different skills and very different
weaknesses.
Training to bridge the generational divide
is becoming more commonplace.
Brad Karsh, of JB Training Solutions,
holds roughly 150 sessions a year, half
focused on helping younger employees
understand older ones, and the other half on
helping older employees understand
younger ones. A recent Chicago workshop
falls in the latter group.
HARMONY
addressing their legal arguments in support
of Proposition 8, a ballot measure passed
by voter in 2008 that banned gay mar-
riage.
Austin R. Nimocks, an attorney for
Alliance Defending Freedom, a group that
wants to end gay marriage, said the ruling
does not end the debate in California. He
called on lawmakers to ban gay marriage
but declined to say whether a legal chal-
lenge will be filed.
Though the current California officials
are unwilling to enforce the state constitu-
tion, we remain hopeful that one day
Californians will elect officials who will,
he said.
Supporters of gay marriage were girding
for a continued fight.
By now, I suppose we know better than
to predict that Prop 8 proponents will actu-
ally give up their fight, San Francisco
City Attorney Dennis Herrera said. But
its certainly fair to say that their remain-
ing legal options are increasingly absurd.
The state high court ruling came about
two months after the U.S. Supreme Court
refused to consider the issue, leaving in
place a lower-court ruling that struck down
the ballot measure as unconstitutional.
On June 28, Gov. Jerry Brown ordered
county clerks to begin issuing marriage
licenses to same-sex couples.
Prop 8 supporters filed an emergency
petition with the state Supreme Court argu-
ing that the federal lawsuit at issue applied
only to the two couple who filed it and to
Alameda and Los Angeles counties, where
they live. They claimed the marriage ban
remained law in 56 counties since the fed-
eral lawsuit at issue wasnt a class action
lawsuit on behalf of all California gay cou-
ples wishing to marry.
U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker previ-
ously issued a sweeping opinion saying
Prop 8 violated equal protection guarantees
in the U.S. Constitution by denying the
two California couples a chance to marry
in the state.
Prop 8 backers were briefly joined by
San Diego County Clerk Ernest
Dronenburg Jr., who filed a nearly identical
legal challenge with the state Supreme
Court last month urging an immediate halt
to gay weddings.
Dronenburg, however, withdrew his law-
suit last week, saying his challenge was
too similar to that of Prop 8 backers to
merit a separate legal bid.

August might not seem like the per-
fect time to be sowing seed, but for
some plants the timing is perfect. Just
this week, I sowed seed for some of my
favorite fall vegetable crops as well as
for a few spring blooming biannual
owers.
Cool season crops like kale, broc-
coli, cauliower and carrots can all be
sown now so they will have a jump-
start when cooler temperatures arrive.
In my area of Rhode Island, mid- to
late August is when a noticeable differ-
ence occurs between daytime and night-
time temperatures. Warm days followed
by cool nights are perfect for starting
seedlings of cool season crops. Care
must be taken, however, not to cook
tender seedlings in the hot summer sun.
I sow seeds just as I do in the spring,
in ats of seed starter mix. After sow-
ing, I place the ats in a shady spot and
am careful to avoid letting them dry out
while the seed is germinating.
Once the seed has germinated, I move
the ats to brighter light situations. To
avoid overheating the seedlings, I
place the flats in a location that
receives direct morning sunlight from
dawn until about noon.
Hot midday sun from noon until about
3:30 can be tough on seedlings that pre-
fer cool temperatures. Keeping them in
dappled light during those hours allows
them to receive enough sun to stay
healthy and prevents them from drying
out or suffering from too much heat.
Once my seedlings have their second
set of leaves, I transplant them either
into individual cell packs or into ber
packs of four plants per box, where
they have room to mature a bit before
being planted out in the garden.
Usually, toward the end of August,
average temperatures are beginning to
moderate in my area. This is the perfect
time to transplant directly into the gar-
den.
I try to transplant on cloudy days if I
can, and I always transplant in the
morning when temperatures are cooler
to avoid stressing the young plants. I
also water the plants in well, including
the soil surrounding the transplants. I
have found that keeping the soil evenly
moist in an area about 12 to 18 inches
around the newly transplanted plants
helps them send their roots out faster
than if just the plants themselves are
kept watered.
After three or four days, I water the
transplants with a solution of sh emul-
sion and repeat every 10 days until the
plants are large and healthy. After that,
the plants are on their own. I add large
amounts of compost to my garden
every spring, which keeps the organic
content of the soil high. I have found
that with healthy, well-amended soil,
supplemental fertilizer is not neces-
sary. I do add an organic granular fertil-
izer prior to planting every spring and
plant a cover crop of winter rye every
fall.
As is the case with spring planted
brassicas such as broccoli, kale and cau-
liower, the voracious larvae from cab-
bage butteries can be a real problem.
Time to plant cool season garden crops
Late August is a good time to plant cabbage seedlings for the
cool weather season.

the former revenue limit program.
In this new system we lose,
Trustee Gregory Land said in a meeting
Tuesday about the changes. It solves
some problems in our state, but has
consequences for districts like us.
But because the changes from the
state are new, there will be a learning
curve on their impact. Robert Clark,
assistant superintendent and chief
business ofcial for the district, noted
that its an eight-year implementation
plan of the Local Control Funding
Formula. Clark said he didnt expect
the district to totally understand the
new system right away, noting that
there will be future meetings to try to
understand the new system. The dis-
tricts general fund budget is $25 mil-
lion this year. He noted that the cuts
are manageable, and the district can cut
corners and tweak a little bit.
Gov. Jerry Brown signed AB 97 July
1 that changed the state funding formu-
la for K-12 schools to help boost the
academic achievement of disadvan-
taged students. The state budget for the
2013-14 fiscal year provides about
$55.3 billion in local and state rev-
enue for K-12 education and two-year
community colleges. Thats an
increase of more than $8 billion over
the 2011-12 level under the states
school funding formula known as
Proposition 98. The new formula will
send $2.1 billion more to school dis-
tricts that have high numbers of stu-
dents from lower-income families,
who have limited English prociency
or are foster children. During the rst
year, the formula gives school dis-
tricts more control over state aid by
eliminating earmarks for state-man-
dated programs, except for special edu-
cation funding.
Superintendent Maggie MacIsaac
said the new formula is a wonderful idea
and that districts are being funded the
way they should be funded.
Its more equitable learning and I
commend the state for doing this,
MacIsaac said. We are still one of the
lowest funded school districts.
All schools would receive a higher
base grant from the state, a provision
meant to placate school districts that
do not have high proportions of those
students. Trustee Davina Drabkin
noted that it would be interesting to
nd out funding per student compared
to last year with new formula.
Californias spending package also
calls for $1.2 billion in one-time
money for districts to implement the
Common Core Standards in English
and math. The Burlingame School
District will receive $600,000 for
teacher training, instructional materi-
als and technology to spend by June
2014.
The district will also receive about
$734 per average daily attendance for
grades K-3, base grants of $6,952 for
grades K-3, $7,056 for grades 4-6 and
$7,266 for grades 7-8 and a 20 percent
base grant per average daily attendance
in supplemental grants for English
learners and free and reduced lunch stu-
dents.

FORMULA
The league sent Hills ofce a letter
last week detailing its opposition to
the legislation following a committee
analysis of the proposal.
According to the analysis ... you
allege that nonprofit organizations
such as ours are co-mingling public
and private resources and using the
co-mingled funds for campaign activi-
t y. ... the analysis asserts you indicate
there is a credible reason to believe
that nonprot organizations are mak-
ing campaign expenditures from
accounts that are nanced in whole or
in part with public dollars, according
to the letter signed by Daniel Carrigg,
legislative director for the league. We
completely reject this allegation.
The letter states that the league has
scrupulously adhered to all legal
requirements associated with ballot
campaign activity and that it regu-
larly advises its members on the scope
of the existing use of public funds pro-
hibition.
Hill told the Daily Journal, however,
that the bill is about transparency and
that it has the support of labor unions
and even the ultra-conservative
Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association.
Hill wants nonprots that get 20
percent of their support from public
funds to place that money in separate
accounts and to disclose how it is used
in campaigns.
Cities and counties spent nearly
$100 million last year on lobbying,
according to Hills ofce.
While public agencies are required
to report such lobbying expenditures,
which in turn are disclosed for public
review, lax transparency and nancial
disclosure rules govern taxpayer-
nanced nonprot organizations and
therefore the public is left in the dark,
according to Hills ofce.
The nonprots are using a loophole
in the law to nance political activi-
ties through anonymous campaign
accounts originally sourced from pub-
lic agencies, according to Hills ofce.
The legislation would also apply to
school districts.
In response to a similar allegation
made by the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers
Association against the league and
others, the Fair Political Practices
Commission ruled in November 2009,
after a one-year investigation, that
there was no evidence that public funds
were used to make political contribu-
tions by the organizations, according
to the League of California Cities.
The league contends Hills bill will
prevent it from speaking out on poten-
tial ballot measures that may harm or
even help cities and prevent it from
taking positions on ballot measures
introduced by the Legislature.
SB 594 passed out of committee
Tuesday on a 5-0 vote.

use, Canzian wrote.
We also recognize that the chil-
drens playground sees a lot of use and
needs updating to meet the latest safe-
ty and accessibility guidelines, she
wrote.
Central Park is the citys rst public
park and was established in 1922.
I think most everyone considers
Central Park to be the jewel of our
park system, Canzian wrote.
After the master plan is updated, the
city will consider relocating any of the
parks facilities. Canzian is hoping
for lots of input from the community
as it embarks on the park update.
The city has earmarked $300,000 for
the master plan update and proposals
are due in September.
The highest and best value of hav-
ing an updated master plan is that when
funds or opportunities become avail-
able, we already have a vision of what
improvements are most important to
the community, Canzian wrote.
Currently, the citys Public Works
Department is engaged in a facilities
assessment of the Central Recreation
Center and the art center that it will
provide to the consultant.
The city strengthened the existing
parking structure and refurbished the
tennis courts in 2010 for about $1.5
million. The City Council is tentative-
ly expected to approve a consultant
contract for the master plan update at
its Nov. 4 meeting.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Nazar Kakunda, aka Nazar Elias Ka-
kunda and Nazar E. Kakunda
Case Number: 123587
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Nazar Kakunda, aka
Nazar Elias Kakunda and Nazar E. Ka-
kunda. A Petition for Probate has been
filed by Bishara Kakunda in the Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo.
The Petition for Probate requests that
Bishara Kakunda be appointed as per-
sonal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are availa-
ble for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: September 4, 2013
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
petition, you should appear at the hear-
ing and state your objections or file writ-
ten objections with the court before the
hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. 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.

BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding
on this property lien, you should under-
stand that there are risks involved in bid-
ding at a trustee auction. You will be bid-
ding on a lien, not on the property itself.
Placing the highest bid at a trustee auc-
tion does not automatically entitle you to
free and clear ownership of the property.
You should also be aware that the lien
being auctioned off may be a junior lien.
If you are the highest bidder at the auc-
tion, you are or may be responsible for
paying off all liens senior to the lien be-
ing auctioned off, before you can receive
clear title to the property. You are en-
couraged to investigate the existence,
priority and size of outstanding liens that
may exist on this property by contacting
the county recorder's office or a title in-
surance company, either of which may
charge you a fee for this information. If
you consult either of these resources,
you should be aware that the same
lender may hold more than one mort-
gage or deed of trust on the property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The
sale date shown on this notice of sale
may be postponed one or more times by
the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a
court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the
California Civil Code. The law requires
that information about trustee sale post-
ponements be made available to you
and to the public, as a courtesy to those
not present at the sale. If you wish to
learn whether your sale date has been
postponed, and if applicable, the re-
scheduled time and date for the sale of

not immediately be reflected in the tele-
phone information or on the Internet Web
site. The best way to verify postpone-
ment information is to attend the sched-
uled sale. Date: August 13, 2013
