National debt tops $16 trillion
By Andrew Taylor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON The Treasury
Department said Tuesday that the national
debt has topped $16 trillion, the result of
chronic government decits that have poured
more than $50,000 worth of red ink onto fed-
eral ledgers for every man, woman and child
in the United States.
The news was greeted with a round of press
releases from Barack Obamas GOP rivals,
who used the grim-but-expected news to crit-
icize the president for the governments scal
performance over his 3 1/2 years in ofce.
Obama has presided over four straight years
of trillion dollar-plus decits after inheriting a
weak economy from his predecessor, George
W. Bush.
We can no longer push off the tough deci-
sions until tomorrow, said No. 2 House
Republican Eric Cantor, R-Va. Its time to
address the serious scal challenges we face
and stop spending money we dont have.
Last summer, Cantor dropped out of a set of
budget talks hosted by Vice President Joe
Biden, citing the insistence of the White
House on tax increases to help close decits
that require the government to borrow 33
cents of every dollar it spends.
The spiraling debt means that lawmakers
and the eventual winner of the White House in
November will have to pass a law early next
year to raise the governments borrowing cap
from the current ceiling of $16.39 trillion.
Passing such legislation last year proved enor-
mously difcult and the nations credit rating
suffered.

Prop. 31 would
shift state govt
Proponents say reform is needed but
opponents suggest it sets bar too low
By Sally Schilling
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
For the California voter, its easy to have an opinion on
straightforward issues like the death penalty, which is on the
November ballot as Proposition 34. But when it comes to com-
plex government reform measures, like Proposition 31, voters
can nd it challenging to gure out where they stand.
The writers of Proposition 31 say they intend to create a sys-
tem of greater accountability and efciency in the state budg-
et through a number of provisions.
According to the nonpartisan analysis of a state legislative
analyst, the proposition instates a two-year budget cycle, in
place of our annual cycle. In scal emergencies, it would give
the governor powers to make budget cuts across the board if
the Legislature fails to act. The proposition would also allocate
some state sales tax money to local governmental bodies
such as school districts and county health departments that
want to try new strategic action plans.
The proposition requires periodic performance reviews of
state and local programs. New state spending measures of

Poplar interchange study
With one plan in the works,city still considers
options that would require property takings
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Despite the San Mateo City Council approving a remedy for
the dangerous intersection at the Poplar Avenue corridor with
Highway 101, the council directed staff last night to continue
studying a design option that calls for signicant property tak-
ings near Peninsula Avenue.
In March, the council directed staff to analyze the environ-
mental impacts of installing a median on Poplar Avenue,
called Option 2A, and nixed an idea to close the Poplar Avenue
off-ramp with Highway 101, called Option 6.

Victims of the San Bruno gas pipeline
explosion and re that left eight of their
neighbors dead nearly two years ago
stood alongside local and state lawmak-
ers yesterday urging Pacific Gas &
Electric to x its aging infrastructure
rather than focus on prots.
The anniversary of the tragedy is this
Sunday and Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-
San Mateo, just sent three pieces of leg-
islation to Gov. Jerry Browns desk last
week that would restrict executive com-
pensation at utilities, require the utility
to adopt National Transportation Safety
Board recommendations and penalize a
utility for poor safety performance.
PG&E wants us to forget but we
wont forget, Hill said yesterday.
Hill, San Bruno Mayor Jim Ruane and
about a dozen residents of the Glenview
neighborhood stood in a spot yesterday
where a home once stood, one of 37
properties completely destroyed during
the re Sept. 9, 2010.
Neighborhood resident Bill
Magoolaghan and his family have
moved back into their home on
Claremont Drive after it suffered exten-
sive damage from the re.
Magoolaghan thanked Hill and other
lawmakers for stepping up to defend the
victims of the tragedy and said Hills
legislation could offer guideposts for
future safety standards.
PG&E is moving in the right direc-
tion but they have lost their way before,
Magoolaghan said at a morning press
conference.
He and his family have a settlement
hearing with PG&E in November and

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The robbery suspect whom authorities
believe stabbed himself in the abdomen twice
after a high-speed chase from Burlingame
police pleaded not guilty yesterday to felony
robbery with a knife and evading police.
Daniel Thomas Cassidy, 24, of Burlingame,
is also charged with a felony count of hit and
run and a misdemeanor count of resisting
arrest in the Aug. 28 encounter. Cassidy
pleaded not guilty to all charges and waived
his right to a speedy trial. He returns to court
Sept. 27 for a preliminary hearing on the evi-
dence and meanwhile remains in custody in
lieu of $100,000 bail.
The string of incidents began just before 9
p.m. when police say

ordered her to withdraw
$100 three times and ed

ting into a pickup truck a block from the bank
and take off, according to police. The ofcer

mph zones until he lost control, went around a
turn and crashed into an occupied car. The
passenger was injured but not seriously,
according to the District Attorneys Ofce.
Cassidy continued his flight into

shot a Taser twice at Cassidy as he ran on foot
but he was not subdued. The ofcer nally got
Cassidy cuffed in the front yard of a Forrest
View Avenue home and noticed he had cut
himself in several places with the knife,
including two stab wounds to the abdomen,
prosecutors said.
He was taken to the hospital for a psychi-
atric hold before being released and booked
into county jail.

on multiple occasions and in one case, accord-
ing to prosecutors, actually masturbating on a
teenage girl as she slept.
Justin Scott Shing was arrested Aug. 25 by

inside her bedroom at 3 a.m. staring at the
empty bed. Authorities say in May Shing also
looked in the window of a 17-year-old neighbor
girl at 2 a.m. On Aug. 14, he allegedly entered

NEW YORK Think of it as the opening
act at a concert: Nokia, Motorola and Amazon
are unveiling new mobile devices this week
before attention turns to a new iPhone and
possibly a smaller iPad from Apple.
Makers of consumer electronics are refresh-
ing their products for the holiday shopping
season. Apples rivals are hoping that a head
start on the buzz will translate into stronger
sales. Nokia and Microsoft, in particular, are
trying to generate interest in a new Windows
operating system out next month.
Apple dominates the market for tablet com-
puters. Seven out of every 10 tablets shipped
in the second quarter were iPads, according to
research rm IHS iSuppli. Rivals have been
trying to compete with smaller, cheaper mod-
els such as the Kindle Fire, which Amazon
is expected to update on Thursday. Now,
theres speculation that Apple will be coming
out with a smaller iPad as well.
Sales of Apples iPhones are still strong,
though the company lost the lead in smart-
phones to Samsung this year. Samsung
Electronics Co. beneted from having its
Galaxy S III out in the U.S. in June, while
Apple was still selling an iPhone model
released last October. A new iPhone is expect-
ed as early as this month, allowing Apple to
recapture the attention and the revenue.
Heres a look at what to expect:
NEW IPHONE:
Apple Inc. has been coming out with a new
iPhone each year, and thats likely to continue.
The new model is expected to work with
fourth-generation, or 4G, cellular networks
that phone companies have been building.
That capability is something the S III and
many other iPhone rivals already have. A big-
ger iPhone screen is also possible. Apple said
Tuesday that it will host an event in San
Francisco next Wednesday. The topic wasnt
disclosed, but the email invitation contains a
shadow in the shape of a 5 a sign that the
iPhone 5 is coming. Sales usually begin a
week or two after such an announcement. One
thing is known: Apple plans to update its
phone software this fall and will ditch
Googles mapping service for its own.
SMALLER IPAD:
Apple has done well selling its full-sized
tablet computer, which has a screen that meas-
ures nearly 10 inches diagonally. Many com-
panies have tried to come out with iPad alter-
natives, but the ones that have had moderate
success have tended to be those with smaller,
7-inch screens and lower price tags. Theres a
belief that Apple will come out with mini iPad
this fall possibly with a 7.85-inch screen
to compete with those competitors. Its not as
much a certainty as a new iPhone, though.
Apple hasnt said anything about its plans.
REKINDLING THE FIRE:
Amazon.com Inc.s 7-inch Kindle Fire is
one of the smaller tablets with decent sales.
Last week, Amazon said it has sold out of the
Kindle Fire, a sign that it had retooled its pro-
duction lines for a successor. Amazon has a
major event planned in Santa Monica, Calif.,
on Thursday. Amazon hasnt said anything
about what it will say, but its expected to
announce a new Kindle Fire and possibly
other Kindle e-readers, too. Barnes and Noble
Inc., which makes the 7-inch Nook Tablet,
may have an update this fall as well.
MOTOROLAS RETURN:
Though its a pioneer in the cellphone
industry, Motorola hasnt had a hit since the
Razr phone came out in 2004. Under new
owner Google Inc., Motorola Mobility is try-
ing to change that. It has scheduled an event in
New York on Wednesday. No further details
were available. It could be a new phone or a
new tablet running Googles Android operat-
ing system. Either way, it will be the rst
Motorola product announcement since
Google bought the company for $12.4 billion
in May. Google, meanwhile, continues to sell
a 7-inch Android tablet, the Nexus 7, made in
partnership with AsusTek Computer Inc.
CALLING ON WINDOWS:
Microsoft Corp. will release a new version
of the Windows operating system on Oct. 26,
one thats designed to work on both tradition-
al computers and tablet devices. A new ver-
sion of the Windows Phone system is coming
out, too. Once-dominant phone maker Nokia
Corp. has been struggling in the shadow of
Apple, and its counting on the new Windows
system for a revival. Nokia and Microsoft
have jointly scheduled an announcement in
New York on Wednesday. Its likely on new
Windows phones under Nokias Lumia brand.
SURFACE:
Microsoft plans its own tablet computer,
too. Its new territory for Microsoft, which
typically leaves it to others to make devices
using its software. Now, it will be competing
against its partners. The Surface tablet will
come in two versions, both with 10.6-inch
screens, slightly larger than the iPads. One
model will run on phone-style chips, just like
the iPad, and will be sold for a similar price. A
heavier, more expensive version will run on
Intel chips and be capable of running standard
Windows applications. The Surface will go on
sale on Oct. 26.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Democrats
ridiculed Republican Mitt Romney as a mil-
lionaire candidate for president who quite
simply doesnt get it and worse on Tuesday,
opening night of a national convention aimed
at propelling Barack Obama to re-election
despite high unemployment and national eco-
nomic distress.
Obama knows better than anyone theres
more hard work to do to x the sputtering
economy, said San Antonio Mayor Julian
Castro, the convention keynote speaker, shar-
ing the prime-time spotlight with rst lady
Michelle Obama.
Delegates cheered as a parade of speakers
extolled Obamas support for abortion rights
and gay marriage, for consumer protections
enacted under his signature health care law
and for the auto industry bailout he won from
Congress in his rst year in ofce.
He said hed take out bin Laden, and with
our great SEAL team, he did, declared for-
mer Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine in one of sever-
al references to the mili-
tary raid that ended the
life of the terrorist master-
mind behind the attacks of
Sept. 11, 2001.
The crowd cheered even
louder when the subject
turned dismissively
to Romney.
If Mitt was Santa
Claus, hed re the rein-
deer and outsource the elves, former Ohio
Gov. Ted Strickland said in a biting speech.
After the deep recession, Castro said in
excerpts released in advance of his speech, the
nation is making progress despite incredible
odds and united Republican opposition.
He declared that 4.5 million jobs have been
created since the president took ofce
though that number refers only to private sec-
tor employment gains over the past 29 months
and leaves out state and local government jobs
that continue to disappear each month.
Obama was back home in the White House
after a campaign appearance in Virginia earli-
er in the day. He said hed be watching on tel-
evision when his wife spoke.
Democrats: Romney just doesnt get it
By Jim Kuhnhenn
CHARLOTTE, N.C. The nations job-
less loom over President Barack Obamas
presidential campaign. At no point will that
association be more evident than Friday when
the government reveals the nations most
recent unemployment numbers just hours after
Obama wraps up his convention pitch and sets
off on a tour of critical swing states.
No doubt, the economy has dened the
presidential race. Voters say its their top issue
and presidential challenger Mitt Romney has
made it his central theme as he prosecutes his
case against Obama. But the economy has also
provided little variation. It has been marked by
sluggish growth and a jobs at line that has
done little to alter the dynamics of the presi-
dential contest.
The most recent consensus from economists
is that the economy in August added a net of
135,000 jobs that would be down from the
163,000 added in July, but would likely keep
the unemployment rate at 8.3 percent for
another month.
By the current economys standards, thats
the kind of middling report that political ana-
lysts say wont change what has been a
remarkably tight presidential contest.
If there were 300,000 jobs created in
August, that would be a big boost we
would shout and holler, said former
Democratic Party Chairman Don Fowler. If it
were zero it would be just the opposite. The
Republicans would rejoice. If its 100,000, it
will be a continuation of the kind of not-too-
optimistic view and it would have very little
result on the campaign.
Obama looks to navigate
through sluggish economy
By Jack Gillum and Thomas Beaumont
WASHINGTON Mitt Romneys presi-
dential campaign has raised at least $100 mil-
lion in August for the third consecutive
month, building upon a fundraising prowess
that has allowed him to outraise President
Barack Obama so far this summer, the
Associated Press has learned.
The early numbers, which include money
raised by the national Republican Party, will
be publicly released next week. They were
described by two people familiar with the g-
ures who spoke on condition of anonymity
because they were not authorized to share
internal campaign matters.
The numbers were revealed on the rst day
of the Democratic National Convention in
Charlotte, N.C., where delegates will nomi-
nate Obama for a second term. Federal
records show that Romney and the GOP have
pulled in more cash than Obamas re-election
effort in May, June and July, including money
collected by the Democratic Party.
It is usually difcult for a challenger to
raise more money than an incumbent holding
a major elective ofce, particularly in a presi-
dential race.
The gures exclude tens of millions of dol-
lars that outside super political action com-
mittees are pouring into the race to help
Romney. Those groups have been largely
bankrolled by wealthy Americans, thanks to
changes in recent years to campaign-nance
regulations.

Bankruptcy judge throws
out AMR pilots contract
NEW YORK American Airlines took a
major step toward emerging from bankruptcy
Tuesday, when a federal judge threw out its
pilots union contract.
The airlines management has already nego-
tiated concessions from its ight attendants,
maintenance workers and other unionized
employees. The decision by Judge Sean H.
Lane will now let the Fort Worth-Texas airline
lower its pilot payroll.
The move will quicken Americans emer-
gence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection,
either as a stand-alone airline or potentially
merged with US Airways Group Inc.
The judge rejected the unions contention
that American is doing much better nancial-
ly than when it entered bankruptcy protection
and didnt need to void the contract.
Judge Lanes ruling is very important
because it will allow us to implement the
changes that are necessary for our successful
restructuring, American Airlines spokesman
Bruce Hicks said.
Why does Social
Security need 174,000 bullets?
WASHINGTON It didnt take long for
the Internet to start buzzing with conspiracy
theories after the Social Security
Administration posted a notice that it was pur-
chasing 174,000 hollow-point bullets.
Why is the agency that provides benets to
retirees, disabled workers, widows and chil-
dren stockpiling ammunition? Whom are they
going to use it on?
Its not outlandish to suggest that the
Social Security Administration is purchasing
the bullets as part of preparations for civil
unrest, the website Infowars.com said.
Another website, The Daily Caller, said the
bullets must be for use against American citi-
zens, since the SSA has never been used
overseas to help foreign countries maintain
control of their citizens.
The clamor became such a distraction for
the agency that it dedicated a website to
explaining the purchase.
SACRAMENTO The number of hate
crimes reported in California dropped 4 per-
cent last year, according to a report released
Tuesday by the state attorney generals ofce.
There were 1,060 hate crimes reported in
2011, down from 1,107 in 2010.
Nearly six in 10 were based on the victims
race, ethnicity or national origin. The 587
crimes reported in 2011 were 26 fewer than
the previous year.
Nearly a third were aimed at blacks.
Crimes against Hispanics have dropped
nearly 44 percent in the last 10 years,
despite a bump in 2010 that experts attrib-
uted to the national debate over an Arizona
law targeting illegal immigrants.
Hate crimes based on sexual orientation
accounted for 23 percent of the overall total in
2011, though reports dropped 12.5 percent to
244.
Nearly 17 percent of hate crimes were based
on religion. Religion-based crimes remained
relatively steady from the year before, with
about two-thirds targeting Jews.
Attorney General Harris praised the
decrease in overall hate crime reports from
local law enforcement to her ofce.
There is no place in our inclusive Golden
State for hate crimes and their destruction of
what makes California so special, she said in
a news release accompanying the report.

MEXICO CITY High-ranking
Mexican security ofcials are por-
traying the shooting of two CIA
agents by Mexican federal police as
a well-intentioned mishap rather
than a deliberate attack.
A series of military and law-
enforcement ofcials have empha-
sized in public statements over the
last three days that the group of 12
federal police was investigating a
kidnapping when they encountered
the two U.S. agents and a Mexican
marine captain and opened re on
their armored sport-utility vehicle.
U.S. and Mexican statements
released on the day of the shooting
contained few details, excluding
mention of the kidnapping probe. As
a result, they left open the possibili-
ty that it could have been a deliber-
ate attack on the Americans by cor-
rupt ofcers or a gross error by well-
intentioned but trigger-happy police
conducting legitimate work in a dan-
gerous rural area outside the city of
Cuernavaca.
Mexican ofcials declined to elab-
orate for more than a week after the
shooting, but now appear to be try-
ing to be making a case for the acci-
dental scenario.
Navy Secretary Mariano
Francisco Saynez told reporters after
President Felipe Calderons last
state-of-the-union address on
Monday that the attack was an error
and not a malicious act. The state-
ment carried particular signicance
coming from the highest-ranking
officer in the navy, the military
branch that includes the marines.
Interior Minister Alejandro Poire
said Tuesday that federal police of-
cials were investigating a kidnapping
that had taken place a day earlier
near the scene of the shooting. He
wouldnt give any other details
Tuesday out of respect for the kid-
napping victim.
Mexico: Attack on U.S.

MONTREAL People in
Quebec weighed returning a sepa-
ratist party to power as they voted
Tuesday in the French-speaking
province, which could edge toward
another referendum to break away
from Canada if the Parti Quebecois
ends nearly a decade of Liberal rule
as expected.
Liberal leader Jean Charest, who
has headed Quebec for nearly a
decade, has consistently trailed in
the polls to Pauline Marois Parti
Quebecois since he called an early
election on Aug. 1. But most polls
indicate Marois who could
become the provinces rst female
premier will not have enough
votes to obtain a majority of the
seats in the Quebec Assembly,
undermining efforts to quickly hold
a referendum on separation.
Quebec has held two referendums
to split from Canada, in 1980 and
1995, the last narrowly rejecting
independence.
Polls show theres little appetite
for a new referendum and Marois
herself has left much uncertainty
about if and when one would be held
under a PQ government. A recent
poll showed support for independ-
ence under 30 percent, but analysts
say voters are weary of the Liberals
after three terms in ofce.

LAPLACE, La. At the urging
of residents who have long felt for-
gotten in the shadow of more dense-
ly populated New Orleans, the Army
Corps of Engineers says it will look
into whether the citys fortified
defenses pushed oodwaters pro-
voked by Hurricane Isaac into outly-
ing areas.
However, the Corps has said it is
unlikely scientic analysis will con-
rm that theory, suggested not only
by locals, but by some of the states
most powerful politicians. Instead,
weather experts say a unique set of
circumstances about the storm
not the oodwalls surrounding the
New Orleans metro area had
more to do with ooding neighbor-
hoods that in recent years have never
been under water because of storm
surge.
Isaac was a large, slow-moving
storm that wobbled across the states
coast for about two and a half days,
pumping water into back bays and
lakes and leaving thousands of resi-
dents under water outside the mas-
sive levee system protecting metro-
politan New Orleans. It was blamed
for seven deaths and damaged thou-
sands of homes on the Gulf Coast.
The Corps study was prompted
by the suggestion that Isaacs surge
bounced off the levees and ood-
gates built since Hurricane Katrina
in 2005 and walloped communities
outside the citys ramparts.
Blaming the Army Corps of
Engineers is nothing new in southern
Louisiana, a region that is both
dependent on the Corps and by
instinct distrustful of an agency that
wields immense power in this world
of harbors, wetlands, rivers and
lakes, all of which fall under the
agencys jurisdiction.
The Corps was roundly criticized
after Hurricane Katrina, which
pushed in enough water to break
through the levees that had sur-
rounded New Orleans. Much of the
city was left under water, and since
then the government has spent mil-
lions rebuilding the system of ood-
walls protecting the metro area.

OPINION 9
Stop whining
Editor,
So you paid more taxes than Mitt
Romney and youre unhappy with
that. Did Romney follow the tax
code? Yes. Did he do anything illegal
or break the law? No. Has he been
arrested by the IRS? No. How did
your friends in Washington (who
probably do the same thing) let him
get away with this? Must be the tax
code. Meanwhile, you go on Amazon
to buy merchandise to avoid paying
tax. Whats with that? Sounds like
there were opportunities for all to
avoid taxes, but just on a different
scale.

More high-speed rail
Editor,
What part of wasting billions of tax-
payers money do the California vot-
ers and politicians not understand?
Amtraks recent proposal to build a
high-speed rail network between
Boston and Washington gets a $151
billion price tag as reported in Time
Magazine this week. And that is just a
proposal. Just imagine how much this
project will really end up costing.
Then, compare it with Californias
high-speed rail and you know why we
are in deep trouble. I hope the new
federal government will just stop the
funding on Mitt Romneys first day in
the White House with the same
Montblanc pen he uses to sign off on
the Keystone pipeline.

Fixing government
Editor,
I have finally found a letter by Tony
Favero (Proposition 37 in the Sept.
3 edition of the Daily Journal) that I
actually agree with. Hes spot on in
his assessment of how things work at
the Food and Drug Administration.
They tend to be captives of the drug
and pharmaceutical industries they are
supposed to regulate. How do we fix
it, Tony? Certainly not by abolishing
the agency and leaving us to the ten-
der mercies of corporate America.
That might be the solution of the bil-
lionaire Koch brothers and their bud-
dies. We do need to institute a rigor-
ous regime of ethics and outlaw (yes,
we need laws by government, Tony)
the revolving door where conflicts of
interest are all but guaranteed.
Democracy requires constant mainte-
nance as greed never sleeps nor will it
ever. Its not rocket science, but com-
mon sense.
Several things need to be pushed
for. Money out of politics, overturn
Citizens United Supreme Court deci-
sion (see MovetoAmend.org), reform
the abused Senate filibuster, among
several others. What we dont need is
fixation on the debt during a recession
and giving billionaires more welfare
checks. Oh, and shrinking the biggest
money pit of all in government, the
military-industrial complex.
Perhaps its time to unite all major
players at the United Nations and
institute a ban on Swiss style bank
accounts where anonymity is used to
simply dodge taxes and launder cash.
I bet even George Soros might buy
into that one. That sounds like more
government regulation not less Tony,
whadayathink?

Letters to the editor
T
he people of San Mateo
County are the beneciary of
two high-quality candidates to
ll the area seven seat of Memo
Morantes on the Board of Education.
Jo-Ann Sockolov Byrne and Joe Ross
are both dedicated citizens who bring
much to the table.
However, Ross has an edge in his
ideas, history of innovation and ability
to be immediately up to speed on the
divergent issues facing the county
Board of Education.
That board often ies under the radar
as its purview is dened by its support
role and limited oversight. The board is
often one of last resort in that it over-
sees community and court schools,
offers assistance to districts in distress
and decides intradistrict transfers. Day-
to-day operations of this countys
schools is left to individual districts but
the board offers support, ideas and the
ability to see the larger picture. It also
works in tandem with an elected county
superintendent, who receives her orders
from the general population when there
is an election. The current superintend-
ent, Anne Campbell, seems to be work-
ing on all cylinders with a wide array
of initiatives. One of those is the con-
cept of offering assistance to districts
looking to share services, and the mem-
bers of the board must be willing par-
ticipants in that concept. Both Ross and
Sockolov Byrne are open to ways in
which local school districts can share
services, whether it be in food services,
operations or nances.
Technology, and its role in the class-
room, is also a path in which the Board
of Education can take a lead. Ross
prefers the board and the Ofce of
Education take the lead in evaluating
technology and determine what might
have the most utility in the classroom
saving the countys myriad school
districts from the individual heavy lift-
ing such an endeavor may require. Ross
is also a strong proponent of making
students complete the requirements to
apply to a state college or university a
standard for graduation. The board has
no direct jurisdiction of such a man-
date, but it can ask for the conversation
to begin. He also is a big proponent of
increasing staff in the classroom
through additional student teachers,
which would serve an extra purpose of
preparing those student teachers for
becoming rst-year teachers. Thats a
big idea, but one in which most every-
one who cares about education and stu-
dent-teacher ratios can get behind.
As executive director of Citizen
Schools, an education nonprot that
seeks to extend learning time for mid-
dle-school students and better prepare
them for high school, college and a
career, he understands the need to
ensure education on all levels does not
fall short. By linking the best ideas
from Silicon Valley and allowing more
opportunities for advancement for both
students and teachers, Ross has found
an elected ofce in which he can put
his life work into more specic action.
Sockolov Byrne is also an engaged
candidate with a breadth of public serv-
ice and private experience. We hope she
stays involved and lends her voice to
the conversation. However, Ross gets
the edge for his experience and ideas.
The San Mateo County Ofce of
Education has always had an opportuni-
ty to offer its support to local school
districts. Through Ross, it can elevate
its responsibility into a leadership role
in creating new connections that can
only benet our districts, our schools,
our administrators, our teachers and our
students.
Ross for Board of Education
Ready or not?
S
chools have taught and graded a kaleidoscope
of individual brains by a single program, a single
set of criteria. They have rewarded and condi-
tioned some skills to the exclusion of others, failing those
whose gifts are not in the cultures most-wanted list, thus con-
vincing them for life that they are unworthy. Marilyn
Ferguson, The Aquarian
Conspiracy.
If we grew up in a fairly
supportive family, when
was the rst time we found
out whether we measured
up to others, whether we
could be proud of our abili-
ties, our personality and
ourselves, or whether we
fell short? It was when we
started school. As we
became regular students, if
we did well because learn-
ing was easy for us, we felt
valuable and well accepted.
If we had trouble learning
to read, write or do math; (or all three), if we had a problem
sitting still and paying attention and we felt that the other kids
were outdoing us, it made a great difference about how we felt
about ourselves and about school.
Many years ago, when I taught rst grade, we were very
careful to evaluate childrens abilities to see if they were ready
to begin to read. Kindergarten was a place where children
learned to adjust to real school, group activities and reading
readiness. It was also an opportunity for the teacher to evalu-
ate the maturity and abilities of each child.
Now we have Race to the Top (preceded by No Child
Left Behind) that proclaim, in the name of higher standards
of achievement, children should be introduced to academics in
preschool. Kindergarten has become more like the rst grade
of my day and the pressure on children and teachers to pro-
duce has become tremendous.
All of this emphasis on early academics and testing must be
terribly frustrating and demoralizing for a child who nds
school difcult. Imagine being faced with test after test that is
beyond your abilities. Imagine being one of the kids in the
class who is constantly under pressure to do better. Imagine
being in a school where recess has been eliminated and art,
music and other creative activities have given way to teaching
to the test. Imagine being so overwhelmed by school that you
dont want to go there any more.
Is this what we want for our children? Arent a great many
of them (and their families) under enough stress already?
Does anyone consider what it does to a child when he contin-
ually feels like he needs xing? Dont we want our children to
learn that there is more to life than reading, math and science?
Are we satised that the schools have become more limiting
when they should be more expansive? It makes you wonder if
any of those in our education hierarchy who make the deci-
sions (more academics earlier, more homework, more and
more testing, etc.) are at all familiar with real children in real
families especially those for whom life is mostly a struggle
and learning does not come easily.
Does it occur to the education hierarchy that our children
and their families are up against more hurdles and are vastly
different that they were even 25 years ago? Does it bother any-
one that by creating more frustration and dropouts we are
adding to an underclass that will become an even greater
threat to the rest of society? Has anyone considered that there
may be more compelling reasons why so many of our kids
arent scoring all that well on achievement tests reasons
such as poorly conceived tests, the great disparity in school
quality between afuent and disadvantaged districts, inade-
quate parents, the inux of immigrants and our dysfunctional
culture?
How many children are being sacriced at the altar of stan-
dards and accountability and our governments obsession
aided and abetted by corporate interests with being chief
engineer of the global economy? Susan Ohanian, in her book,
What Happened to Recess and Why Are Our Children
Struggling in Kindergarten? reminds us: Despite the sugar-
coated public-relations rhetoric, the whole standards and
accountability movement is not about helping all children to
become better learners. It is not committed to leaving no child
behind. Just the opposite. It is an elaborate sorting device, sep-
arating wheat from chaff. And dont ask what happens to the
chaff.
In her wonderful new book, Teach Your Children Well,
Madeline Levine, Ph.D., covers many of the problems chil-
dren are faced with today. Her philosophy: There are as
many ways to be competent in this world as there are children
blooming. Each and every one of them should be nurtured,
should feel that his or her skills, gifts and interests count for
something.
Shouldnt we be asking, Are they ready or not?

NEW YORK Stocks zigged and
zagged after reports that the U.S. econo-
my is weakening at a time when China
and Europe are also slowing.
The Dow Jones industrial average
closed down 54.90 points at 13,035.94
on Tuesday. Heavy equipment maker
Caterpillar was the weakest stock in the
Dow average, slipping 3 percent, or
$2.67, to $82.66. The Standard & Poors
500 index fell 1.64 points to 1,404.94.
The Nasdaq index bucked the losing
trend, gaining 8.10 points at 3,075.06. A
big reason was that the indexs biggest
stock, Apple, rose $9.73 to $674.97
after the company invited reporters to a
news event next week at which it is
expected to announce the long-awaited
iPhone 5.
The market got off to a weak start after
the Commerce Department reported that
U.S. construction spending fell 0.9 per-
cent in July from June, driven lower by a
sharp drop in spending on home
improvement projects.
The decline, the worst in a year, fol-
lowed three months of gains powered by
increases in home and apartment con-
struction. New home construction rose
again in July, but spending on home ren-
ovation projects fell 5.5 percent.
A separate report delivered more
gloomy news on the economy: the third
straight month of contraction in U.S.
manufacturing. New orders, production
and employment all fell in August.
Factories have been a key source of jobs
and growth since the recession ended in
June 2009, but the sector has been weak
in recent months.
The Institute for Supply Management,
a trade group of purchasing managers
for manufacturers, said its index of man-
ufacturing edged down to 49.6 from 49.7
in July. It was the lowest reading in three
years. A reading below 50 indicates that
manufacturing is contracting.
Its time to go back to school and
sharpen up on stocks and pay attention
to the numbers, said Kim Forrest, equi-
ty analyst at nancial advisory rm Fort
Pitt Capital Group. The numbers show
that theres a lot of weakness out there
and investors have gotten lulled into
complacency in the last month or so.
The week will culminate with U.S.
nonfarm payroll gures Friday, one of
the most important barometers for the
worlds largest economy. Federal
Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke has
indicated that the central bank is inclined
to provide new stimulus if its needed.

Big movers

DETROIT Big pickups carried U.S.
auto sales to their highest level in three
years.
Demand for full-size pickups jumped
16 percent in August, helping to make it
the strongest sales month since August
2009. Overall auto sales increased 20
percent from a year earlier to nearly 1.3
million, according to Autodata corp.
The rising demand shows that busi-
nesses need to replace aging trucks and
feel more condent about the recovery in
U.S. housing an industry where pick-
ups are essential for hauling equipment
and crews.
Businesses dont usually go buy a
eet of trucks unless they have good rea-
son to believe that business will be ramp-
ing up, said Jesse Toprak, vice president
of market intelligence for the
TrueCar.com auto pricing service
Ford, GM and Chrysler, the biggest
makers of full-size trucks, notched dou-
ble-digit gains in overall sales last month.
In pickups, Fords F-Series, the top-
selling vehicle in America, saw a 19 per-
cent sales increase, as did Chryslers
Ram pickup. Sales of General Motors
Chevy Silverado rose 4 percent, while
the GMC Sierra was up 9 percent.
Toyotas struggling big truck, the
Tundra, posted a huge increase of 68
percent.
The rising demand helped push total
U.S. auto sales last month to an annual
rate of 14.5 million. Thats the best
monthly sales pace since the govern-
ments Cash for Clunkers rebate pro-
gram in August of 2009.

Global manufacturing
weakness hurting U.S.
By Christopher S. Rugaber
WASHINGTON Manufacturing is weakening around the
globe, a trend that is weighing on U.S. growth just as the pres-
idential campaign enters its nal stretch.
U.S. factory activity shrank for a third straight month in
August, according to a survey by the Institute for Supply
Management released Tuesday.
Manufacturing has slumped as American businesses have
scaled back demand for machinery, equipment and other
investments. Its also contracting in just about every major
economy overseas, including the 17 countries that use the
euro, plus Britain, China, Japan and Brazil. In China, factory
activity fell last month to its lowest level in more than three
years.
Less factory production in the United States and abroad has
sapped a critical source of growth and jobs in the three years
since the recession ended. That trend will likely keep growth
and hiring tepid through the November elections.
ECB chief is wielding more sway than Bernanke
WASHINGTON Move over, Ben Bernanke. This is
Mario Draghis moment.
The European Central Bank president is overtaking the
Federal Reserve chairman at least for now as the central
banker with the most inuence on the global economy and
markets. Faced with a growing recession and a possible
breakup of the 17-country euro alliance, Draghi has bigger
problems than Bernanke, whos overseeing an economy in
recovery.
As head of the ECB, which meets Thursday, Draghi also has
more ammunition left than Bernanke does.

NO LATE INNING MAGIC THIS TIME: AFTER RALLYING FROM 6-1 DEFICIT, GIANTS LOSE TO ARIZONA IN 11 INNINGS >>> PAGE 12
By Tom Canavan
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. A good start is
what is on the line this time when the New York
Giants host the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL sea-
son opener.
The stakes were much greater the last time the
NFC East foes faced off to close the last regular
season. New York won to claim the division title
en route to the Super Bowl title. Dallas was left
out of the postseason.
On Wednesday night at MetLife Stadium, the
winner will take the early upper hand in the divi-
sional race.
For Eli Manning and the Super Bowl champi-
on Giants, this will be a chance to silence the crit-
ics and detractors who have sounded off repeat-
edly after they beat the New England Patriots in
February to claim their second title in ve sea-
sons.
The Giants heard it all. They were lucky to get
into the playoffs with a 9-7 record. They really
didnt beat the Packers or 49ers, they were just
handed the games. There is a lot more, but that is
the gist.
That is now over.
The goal for Tom Coughlins players is to show
they have constructed that bridge the 65-year-old
coach urged them to build to link their late-season
6-0 run to the title to the 2012 campaign.
The leadership we have on this football team,
thats going to be the spine of the bridge, if you
will, defensive captain Justin Tuck said. I think
were in a good place as far as where we want to
be coming into the game.

The Hillsdale and Woodside boys water
polo teams kicked off the season in Redwood
City Tuesday afternoon and, in the end,
Hillsdale proved to be just a little bit better in
recording a 13-8 win.
That was a rough one, said Hillsdale coach
Renato Hodzic. We were missing two starters
and two others starters got kicked out of the
game.
The younger guys stepped up and we over-
came adversity.
Dont talk to Woodside rst-year coach
Luke Plurkowski about being shorthanded. He
had one substitute available and that dwindled
to none after Luis Mendoza sat out most of the
second and third periods with an eye injury,
although he did return to the match.
I thought our guys showed a lot of heart,
Plurkowski said. I cant complain about their
effort.
Both teams showed the effects playing their
rst match of the season with a lot of sloppy
play and turnovers. It appeared it would be a
long day for the Knights, who gave up two
early goals and seven power plays to the
Wildcats.
Unfortunately, Woodside managed to score
only twice on the man advantage.
We didnt take advantage of those shots in
the rst quarter, said Plurkowski, admitting
his team was a little anxious on the power play.
It was sloppy. We have to improve our exe-
cution. As a new coach, Im behind where I
want to be (with the team). Right now, the
focus is getting them game time and game sit-
uations.
Hillsdale weathered the storm and took con-
trol of the match in the second and third peri-
ods as the Knights wore down Woodside.
Hodzic said the difference was his players
ability to stay fresher longer, as most of the
Knights are swimmers who have converted to
water polo.
It helps when you have some speed,
Hodzic said.

For the College of San Mateo womens
water polo team, the 2012 season will truly be
a sink or swim affair. Or in the words of
Bulldogs head coach, Randy Wright, Were
taking a bunch of young little puppies into the
big pool and hopefully over the rst weekend
well turn those puppies into Bulldogs.
Wright embraced the excitement of the
unknown that comes with a ton of youth when
discussing his 2012 squad. Of the 11 players
currently on the roster, eight of them are
freshmen. Of the three sophomores, at least
one is coming off the bench that spells
four new starters for CSM.
Even with all this inexperience, there is a
silver lining.
Our starting lineup, albeit it is dominated
by freshmen, Im going to say it could be one
of the most talented starting lineups Ive ever
had, Wright said.
The backbone is returning goalie Daria
Kekuewa, a Mercy-Burlingame product who
led the state in saves last season while posting
an All-NorCal and All-Coast Conference year.
Shes a stud, Wright said, adding that
Kekuewa contemplated red-shirting this sea-
son but chose to give it a go when evaluating
the young talent on the 2012 team. With the
backbone of Daria in the cage, it allows for a
lot of exibility in terms of zone drops,
Wright said. And anytime you have speed
working in a zone defense, it just makes it that
much more difcult for other teams because
we can close gaps. With a couple of speed
girls, especially with Miya (Oto), Im coach-
ing a lot of counter attack things I havent
coached in 10 years because we didnt have
that element on our team. So thats exciting
for me.
Oto, a three-time All-American swimmer
for the Bulldogs last Spring, is the prize fresh-
man for CSM. Oto was the Coast
Conferences Most Outstanding Swimmer last
season. Her speed on a young Bulldog team is
the X-factor.
Shes not the biggest size but man, she
ies, Wright said. She can probably swim
with the ball faster than anybody can just at-

Only at the College of San Mateo will you
hear a football team talk about having to
bounce back after a win.
But yes, thats how high the bar is right now
for the Bulldogs. Even after a 22-13 win over
Laney College, CSM went into its Tell The
Truth Monday practice and were just as crit-
ical of themselves as if they lost last Saturday.
Were treating this like it wasnt our best
performance, said Tim Tulloch, CSM defen-
sive coordinator and assistant head coach.
We talk about, all the time to our guys, Was
that the best you can do? Was that your best
performance? Offensively? Defensively?
Specials teams? And it denitely wasnt. So,
its on us to change it.
It wasnt a short practice. We addressed the
corrections.
CSM head coach Bret Pollack said after the
game Saturday his players knew they had just
gotten away with one. Against Laney, the
Bulldogs coughed up the football four times
and let a trio of touchdowns fall our of their
hands on dropped passes.
For an offense that was laser-sharp at times
in 2011, CSM was uncharacteristically dull
against Laney. And Tulloch said the players
knew that and brought a renewed focus and
attention to detail to Mondays practice
Day One of preparation for Chabot College.
As critical as CSM can be on themselves,
there were some positives from Saturdays
win.
There are a fair amount of things we need
to improve on and address, Tulloch said.
There were some good things that we battled
through.
The Bulldogs played well inside the red
zone. The Eagles took a total of 11 snaps
inside the CSM 5-yard line and couldnt run
the ball in. It took a nicely placed fade pattern

SANTA CLARA Clark Haggans joined
the San Francisco 49ers at practice Tuesday
pledging to hit the ground running with a team
that ts the rugged style he has established
throughout a 13-year NFL career.
The veteran outside linebacker, signed by
the 49ers on Monday, will learn soon if hell
be available to play in
Sundays season opener
against the Green Bay
Packers.
Haggans faces discipline
by the league after serving
jail time in June after
pleading guilty to DUI
charges stemming from an
April 2011 incident. His
hearing before the NFL is
scheduled Wednesday.
The 49ers certainly could use the services of
the veteran with 46.5 career sacks when they
face the Packers and a prolic passing attack
led by quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Haggans is the only backup on the roster
behind starting outside linebackers Ahmad
Brooks and Aldon Smith after San Francisco
placed 2011 starter Parys Haralson on injured
reserve Monday with a torn left triceps.
Veteran player we needed at that position
and needed him right away, 49ers coach Jim
Harbaugh said Tuesday. Pretty deep into our
playbook already. He started at page 25 when
he rst got here. I think hell assimilate very
quickly and thats one of the reasons we were
so excited to get him.
Haggans has played throughout his career in
a 3-4 defensive system thats similar to what
San Francisco runs. He started 57 games on
the edge for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 2004-
2007 before moving on to Arizona, where he
started 43 games the past three seasons.
Haggans started all 16 games for the Cardinals
last year, recording 46 tackles and three sacks.
After the Cardinals released Haggans on
Friday at the nal roster cutdown, the 49ers
were quick to come calling.
Haralson, who started 68 games over the
past ve seasons for the 49ers, was injured in
San Franciscos Aug. 26 exhibition at Denver
and underwent surgery last week. The Niners
then released four young outside linebackers
Friday to reach the 53-man nal roster limit,
leaving them with starters Brooks and Smith
as their only two healthy players at the posi-
tion.
Haggans saw San Franciscos defense
evolve into one of the NFLs best while play-
ing the 49ers twice each season over the past
four years. Now hes eager to get involved.
All the success that they had last year was
obviously earned and Im happy to be a part of
it, Haggans said. Theyre a physical team,
blue-collar, work hard. Thats like me in
and out of the weight room, running after prac-
tice, lm study and just trying to play football
with effort.
At 35, Haggans said he still can produce at a
high level and is willing to accept whatever
role the team has for him.
That role could become signicant with
Haralson gone and Smith in his rst season as
a starter after setting a 49ers rookie record with
14 sacks last season. San Franciscos defensive
scheme places a high priority on getting pres-
sure on passing downs from its edge lineback-
ers, and Haggans has produced ve or more
sacks in a season six times during his career.
Ive been in a 3-4 defense for a long time,
so a lot of the techniques are the same and its
just getting used to the terminology, Haggans
said. Im just going to dive into the playbook,
trying to be as spongy as possible and absorb
as much as I can and take it from there.
His next move is waiting to hear from the
NFL regarding a possible suspension that
could keep Haggans on the sidelines for the
start of the season.
I have my cellphone on and I made sure I
paid my bill so its working, he said. Im on
a need-to-know basis to see whats going to
transpire for the next hours to days up to the
end of the month or so. So when I get the
news, either way I have to be ready for it.

ALAMEDA Rolando McClain is working
on making himself more of a vocal presence
around the Oakland Raiders defense.
What the Raiders really need is for their former
rst-round pick to be a more physical presence
on the eld in his third season in the NFL.
McClain has yet to play up to the lofty billing
he received as the eighth overall pick out of
Alabama in the 2010 draft. Instead of transform-
ing a struggling defense, McClain has been part
of the problems that have held the Raiders back
the past two years.
With a new defensive scheme that better suits
McClains style and a focus on being more vocal,
the Raiders are hoping for a breakthrough from
McClain this season.
Hes more of a vocal leader, safety Michael
Huff said. Before hes been a leader but a shy,
quiet guy who really didnt want to get on people
or do that side of it. Now hes getting on people,
yelling, getting everybody into the huddle, break-
ing the huddle.
As the defensive signal caller, McClain needs
to be vocal to make sure his teammates are in the
proper position and know their assignments
before every play.
He said he had no problems doing that in col-
lege at Alabama when he helped the Crimson
Tide win a national championship in 2009, but he
said its more difcult to do that in the NFL.
Its different here. Its just different, he said.
Youre not dealing with guys your own age.
Youre dealing with grown men. Being a leader
is just not about yelling but understanding guys
that youre working with. Different people
respond to different things in different ways. Its
guring out your teammates and how they
respond to things to get them to work. Its still a
process.
McClain was supposed to be the key to a
defensive turnaround in Oakland after being
taken eighth overall in the 2010 draft. He had 85
tackles, a half-sack and one interception as a
rookie.
He showed signs of improvement last season
with 99 tackles and ve sacks but still had prob-
lems in coverage and sometimes took bad angles
in the run game, leading to big plays.
McClain has allowed 73 completions in 115
pass attempts for 794 yards and seven touch-
downs in his two seasons, according to STATS
LLC.
But he hopes this defense that will leave him in
man coverage less often and give him more
chances to blitz will better suit him.
McClain looks to be more vocal for Raiders
Angels 6, As 1
OAKLAND Zack Greinke pitched seven
sharp innings to win his third consecutive start
and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Oakland
Athletics 6-1 on Tuesday night.
Kendrys Morales had three hits and an RBI
for the Angels, who remained 3 1/2 games out of
a wild-card spot in the American League. Los
Angeles has won four of ve on its six-game
road trip and 11 of 14 overall.
Brandon Moss homered for the As, who have
dropped two straight to the Angels following a
nine-game winning streak. Oakland, tied for the
wild-card lead, is four games behind rst-place
Texas in the AL West and 3 1/2 ahead of the
third-place Angels.
Greinke has allowed at least one home run in
seven straight starts, the longest streak of his
career. Moss drive, however, was the only
noticeable mistake he made.
Greinke (4-2) scattered four hits, struck out
four and walked two. He also got some help
from the Angels defense when Mike Trout ran
down Josh Reddicks deep y to center in the
sixth.
Since beginning his Los Angeles career with
two losses in ve starts following a July 27 trade
from Milwaukee, Greinke has settled into a
groove. Hes yielded four runs over his last 21 2-
3 innings and has gone at least seven innings in
each of his last three starts.
Scott Downs pitched the eighth and Jason
Isringhausen worked the ninth to complete the
four-hitter.
Oakland lost for only the fourth time in 19
games.
The Angels put runners on base early against
starter Jarrod Parker (9-8) but didnt break
through until the fth.
Alberto Callaspo and Chris Iannetta singled to
put runners on the corners with one out before
Trout hit a rst-pitch RBI single up the middle.

into the back of the end zone in the rst quar-
ter to crack the Bulldogs defense and that
play was number six from inside the 2-yard
line in a sequence extended by an unsport-
manshiplike conduct penalty.
I really liked the way the D-line and the
inside linebackers were stout there, Tulloch
said. A lot of times teams, when opponents
get into the red zone or inside the 10, they feel
sorry for themselves, or woe is me. But this
team is, No, we got you right where we want
you. Well play 10-11 snaps from the 1-yard
line. So that I was really proud of. We battled
through some adversity, some sudden changes
and just went out and played.
On offense, Tulloch pointed to a pair of
freshman linemen, Hanitelli Lousi and
Dominick Jackson, as young players who had
solid games. Lousi was CSMs highest graded
lineman of the game. Both were making their
rst starts at the collegiate level.
One thing to keep an eye on as the Bulldogs
get ready for Chabot on Saturday is the quar-
terback position. John Willis played the entire
game against Laney and the CSM coaching
staff showed condence in the JamesLogan
High School - Union City product despite
some miscues.
John is competitor, Tulloch said, at-out,
to the heart, to the bone. Hes a competitor.
And there gets to be this little bit of monotony
going against yourself, same offense, same
defense that weve been going against for
eight months. So, I think that monotony got to
us and hurt us. Hes going to battle and step
up. And having Blake (Plattsmier) right there
ready to go, Blake is going to challenge him to
be the starter. And after Saturdays perform-
ance, Im sure Blake is saying OK, lets go
compete.
Last year, following a disappointing per-
formance in the season opener against Fresno,
the Bulldogs righted the ship rather quickly
pitching ve straight shutouts and leaving
their woes behind in emphatic fashion.
I think the thing about last year, the differ-
ence between Week 1 and Week 2 was so dra-
matic, the teams took such a huge step for-
ward, you would hope that this team would be
able to replicate some of that that between
Week 1 and Week 2 we make that kind of
progress, Tulloch said. The talent is there.
We have veteran guys. I sure hope were going
to take a big step forward.
CSMs progress will be tested in a big way
come Saturday. In Chabot, the Bulldogs face
the reigning Golden Gate Conference champi-
on and a team ranked No. 11 in Northern
California. They are, however, coming off a
28-20 loss to San Joaquin Delta.
Were laser-focused on Chabot, Tulloch
said. We have 100 percent of our focus there.
Theyre a good team. Were going to take
them one at a time. The good thing about a
great schedule is, every team is going to test
you in a different way and show you some-
thing different, show you a different weak-
ness. And that prepares you for conference.
Each team will expose something. And hope-
fully, if you can make the adjustments and
correct, by the time you get to league, youve
been battle-tested in lots of different ways by
good teams.
And the good thing is, if we do give our
best, we can play with anybody in the state,
Tulloch said. If we play like we did Saturday,
we dont bring our best to the table, with this
schedule, its going to be tough. With the play-
ers, were telling it like it is. We expect the
best from those guys so we keep the bar high.
out swim. Fourth quarter without a sub,
shell still be the fastest player in the pool. I
dont care if you sub your fastest girl for a
half, shes still not going to be faster than
Miya. Shes just a phenomenal swimming
athlete.
With speed and with a good goalie, it
does give you some creative opportunities to
run different defenses and isolated counter
attacks, kind of tempo things up which we
havent had the opportunity to do in the
past, Wright said. So, thats a great 1-2
punch in terms of goalie to outlet. Right
there, we got something cooking.
With such a young team, the sophomores
will be a critical part of the 2012 squad.
Andrea Carranza, a Woodside graduate,
returns for CSM. Last year, she was more of
a defensive center, but Wright said hes hop-
ing she plays a more prominent role on
offense this season. Rachel Rosas (Hillsdale)
will be coming off the bench.
But after those four players, there are plen-
ty of unknowns for CSM. Sinclaire Cheong
(Aragon), Erica Staben (Menlo-Atherton),
Kelly Dwyer (Terra Nova) and Jasmine
Zaldivar will be looked upon to contribute in
big ways as freshmen.
As far as a starting lineup right now,
Wright said, I have no idea.
Wright said the Bulldogs are moving
toward a more free-flowing, motion-friendly
offense. Were looking to use position and
speed to make things happen.
While Kekuewa is the undoubted leader
defensively, offensively the search for lead-
ership is still in its infant stages.
Im not looking for a leadership that is
raw-raw-shish-boom-bah. Im looking for a
leader to say, when things are going stale, a
little stagnant, then maybe shell call her
number, Wright said. Weve been working
on that the last few practices. Like I said, no
one is a dominant set so how do we decide
whos going in to set, whos going to play
the center position? You cant just go or else
well end up with four people going. So its
important to clear the lines of communica-
tion. The freshmen, you need a couple of
games to get over that shyness.
I preach, you can talk faster than you can
do anything. Were a no-texting, no-Internet
environment. You have to communicate, talk,
talk, talk, Wright said. Stay off those
phones. Start talking more because you dont
talk enough. Talk, talk, talk it out. Again, a
lot of these situations, you get a couple of
games under your belt and youll be like,
Oh yeah, this is what coach was talking
about. I see how easy it is. So in the game
you start to naturally do it because its
instinctual.
Adding depth and support will be Morgan
Gassmann, Rachel Wright (Mercy-
Burlingame) and Meaghan Ramstack (San
Mateo). And the team will have to gel very
quickly. CSM starts play against a beatable
Delta College squad. But after that, big tests
against Merced and Diablo Valley, two teams
theyve never beaten, await.
A lot during the summer was just
defense, Wright said. We can shore up dis-
tinct defensive strategies and center them
around our goalie and get everyone comfort-
able with the power of our goalie. Defense is
our backbone. And when you have a player
that can potentially be an All-American in
Daria, you gotta go with what you got.
Defense, defense, defense. This year will be
a little more exciting because we can defend
and run isolation counter attack with
some of the players on our team.
I just told them today, the two things I see
most troubling are, No. 1: turnovers. Theyre
not realizing how important possessions
are, Wright said. And maybe its going to
require a game the school of hard knocks
unfortunately to figure that out. And then:
vision. You cant just come out and play, the
whole vision of the field it magnifies. And
I think some of them are just playing in the
now and are having a little difficulty plan-
ning their next few moves. To be good, you
have to know what youre going to do before
that situation happens. And unfortunately, I
think thats going to require some games
under their belts, too.

Turner intercepts a Laney College pass
during the Bulldogs 22-13 win last Saturday.
SPORTS 15
Weve already showed people who we are,
safety Antrel Rolle said. We can care less about
that. We leave that up to spectators. Were just
going out there and playing ball. And that is what
it is all about. We can care less about what kind
of recognition we are getting or who is crowning
us and who is not crowning us. None of that mat-
ters coming into the 2012 season.
Jerry Jones Cowboys face a much different
task after an 8-8 campaign that ended with an
embarrassing 31-14 loss to the Giants on New
Years Day.
The outspoken owner, who boasted to fans that
his team would kick the Giants posteriors in
Dallas when the clubs meet a second time this
season on Oct. 28, knows the window for the
aging Cowboys to return to the franchises glory
years is fading fast.
Its a great opportunity for us is how I look at
it, Jones said of the season opener. So very
meaningful. Everybody has all the appreciation
in the world for what were up against here, the
quality of the team, so to have success up there
would be very meaningful.
As in any game in the NFL, its certainly not
how you ultimately will wind up one way or the
other, but it is a big game in front of really the
entire world of sports, high visible game against
the world champions.
Romo will again be under the spotlight. He has
yet to lead the Boys to a title, and many wonder
whether he will after a late-season meltdown in
which Dallas lost four of its nal ve games,
including two to the Giants.
I think they always stick with you, Romo
said of the last game. Thats what fuels you in
the offseason and makes you ... you want to
remember those moments so you can improve
from them. As a football team, weve taken an
approach that we need to get better. I think weve
done that with the personnel and our approach
and the way the guys have been committed. Its
been great to see. Now its time to take it to the
eld.
There are a couple of key matchups to watch.
Manning and receivers Victor Cruz and
Hakeem Nicks combined for 14 receptions for
237 yards in New Yorks 37-34 win in Dallas on
Dec. 11, and they had 11 more catches for 254
yards and two touchdowns in the division-decid-
ing game.
NFL
SAN FRANCISCO Aaron Hill had a
career-high ve hits and Jason Kubel tripled
home the tiebreaking run in the 11th inning to
lead the Arizona Diamondbacks over the San
Francisco Giants 8-6 on Tuesday night.
The rst-place Giants used 11 pitches, match-
ing a major league record for extra-inning
games. They remained 4 1/2 games ahead of Los
Angeles in the NL West because the Dodgers
also lost at home in extra innings, to San Diego.
Hill drove in two runs and was a triple shy of
his third cycle this season. John McDonald also
had two RBIs for the Diamondbacks, who ended
a three-game skid.
Brandon Belt had three hits, including a two-
run homer, for San Francisco. Pablo Sandoval
knocked in two runs but the Giants had their
three-game winning streak stopped.
Giants lose in 11
Dbacks 8, Giants 6
LOS ANGELES Logan Forsythe hit a
two-run single with the bases loaded in the
11th inning after Yasmani Grandal tied the
score with a two-run homer in the eighth, and
the San Diego Padres beat the Los Angeles
Dodgers 6-3 Tuesday night.
The Dodgers wasted an excellent outing
from ace Clayton Kershaw and dropped 1 1/2
games behind St. Louis for the second NL
wild card.
John Ely (0-1), working his second inning
of relief, gave up a leadoff single to Cameron
Maybin in the 11th. Everth Cabrera followed
with a bunt single, and both runners took an
extra base on third baseman Luis Cruzs
throwing error to rst.

The match was tied at 2 after the
rst period before Hillsdale scored
the rst two goals of the second peri-
od to take a lead it would not relin-
quish. Kenton Toms goal from the
point, followed by the rst of Danny
Amayas six goals, gave the Knights
a 4-2 lead.
Danny Amaya played an out-
standing game, Hodzic said. He
put the team on his shoulders.
Woodsides Johnny Fortes got a
goal back when he oated a shot
home and the two teams traded goals
for the rest of the half with Hillsdale
holding a 6-5 lead at the break.
In the third period, the Knights
pulled away, outscoring the Wildcats
6-2. Woodside pulled to 8-7 on a
backhanded sweeper from Matt
Cremers that caught the Hillsdale
goaltender off guard, but the Knights
answered with four straight goals
three coming from Javier Rosas,
including one with a second left in
the period to give Hillsdale a 12-7
lead going into the nal seven min-
utes.
Credit to Woodside, which came
out ring and putting tons of pres-
sure on the Hillsdale defense. It
appeared the Wildcats were poised
for a comeback when Austin Dea
scored 30 seconds in to cut his
teams decit to 12-8.
Hillsdale goaltender Tony Pappas,
however, would not allow another.
Woodside managed 10 shots on goal
in the fourth period, but Pappas
came up with eight saves.
We put a lot of faith and trust in
the goalie and he came through for
us, Hodzic said of Pappas.

WASHINGTON Patient after
patient asked: Is eating organic food,
which costs more, really better for me?
Unsure, Stanford University doctors
dug through reams of research to nd
out and concluded theres little evi-
dence that going organic is much health-
ier, citing only a few differences involv-
ing pesticides and antibiotics.
Eating organic fruit and vegetables
can lower exposure to pesticides, includ-
ing for children but the amount meas-
ured from conventionally grown produce
was within safety limits, the researchers
reported Monday.
Nor did the organic foods prove more
nutritious.
I was absolutely surprised, said Dr.
Dena Bravata, a senior research afliate
at Stanford and long-time internist who
began the analysis because so many of
her patients asked if they should switch.
There are many reasons why some-
one might choose organic foods over
conventional foods, from environmen-
tal concerns to taste preferences, Bravata
stressed. But when it comes to individ-
ual health, there isnt much difference.
Her team did nd a notable difference
with antibiotic-resistant germs, a public
health concern because they are harder
to treat if they cause food poisoning.
Specialists long have said that organic
or not, the chances of bacterial contami-
nation of food are the same, and
Mondays analysis agreed. But when
bacteria did lurk in chicken or pork,
germs in the non-organic meats had a 33
percent higher risk of being resistant to
multiple antibiotics, the researchers
reported Monday in the journal Annals
of Internal Medicine.
That nding comes amid debate over
feeding animals antibiotics, not because
theyre sick but to fatten them up.
Farmers say its necessary to meet
demand for cheap meat. Public health
advocates say its one contributor to the
nations growing problem with increas-
ingly hard-to-treat germs. Caroline
Smith DeWaal, food safety director at
the Center for Science in the Public
Interest, counted 24 outbreaks linked to
multidrug-resistant germs in food
between 2000 and 2010.
The government has begun steps to
curb the nonmedical use of antibiotics
on the farm.
Organic foods account for 4.2 percent
of retail food sales, according to the U.S.
Department of Agriculture. It certies
products as organic if they meet certain
requirements including being produced
without synthetic pesticides or fertiliz-
ers, or routine use of antibiotics or
growth hormones.
Consumers can pay a lot more for
some organic products but demand is
rising: Organic foods accounted for
$31.4 billion sales last year, according to
a recent Obama administration report.
Thats up from $3.6 billion in 1997.
The Stanford team combed through
thousands of studies to analyze the 237
that most rigorously compared organic
and conventional foods. Bravata was dis-
mayed that just 17 compared how people
fared eating either diet while the rest
investigated properties of the foods
themselves.
Organic produce had a 30 percent
lower risk of containing detectable pesti-
cide levels. In two studies of children,
urine testing showed lower pesticide lev-
els in those on organic diets. But Bravata
cautioned that both groups harbored
very small amounts and said one
study suggested insecticide use in their
homes may be more to blame than their
food.
Still, some studies have suggested that
even small pesticide exposures might be
risky for some children, and the Organic
Trade Association said the Stanford
work conrms that organics can help
consumers lower their exposure.
CSPIs DeWaal noted that difference,
but added that the issue is more compli-
cated. Some fruit and vegetables can
harbor more pesticide residue than oth-
ers she listed peaches from Chile as
topping a recent testing list. Overall lev-
els have dropped in North American pro-
duce over the last decade as farms imple
Study questions how much better organic food is
There are many reasons why someone might
choose organic foods over conventional foods.But when
it comes to individual health,there isnt much difference.
Dr. Dena Bravata, a senior research afliate at Stanford
Organic foods account for 4.2 percent of retail food sales,
according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

mented some new standards addressing child concerns, she
said.
Parents with young children should consider where their
produce is coming from, DeWaal said, calling types grown in
the U.S. or Canada a safer bet for lower pesticide levels.
As for antibiotics, some farms that arent certied organic
have begun selling antibiotic-free meat or hormone-free milk,

are seeking civil damages.
Of the homes that were destroyed in the
neighborhood, eight have been reconstructed.
Building permits have been issued for 12
other homes and planning reviews are pending
for two more. Of the homes that were dam-
aged, repairs are complete on 13 houses and
permits have been issued for the remaining
four.
This is not just a San Bruno specic inci-
dent, Ruane said at the press conference.
This could have been prevented.
Hill contends PG&E diverted funds for
prots and bonuses rather than for needed
safety upgrades. He also contends the
California Public Utilities Commission has
not done enough to oversee PG&E and other
state utilities when it comes to safety.
I think PG&E would like us to forget
what happened here and the PUC, too,
Hill said yesterday.
Currently, the governor has three pieces of
Hill legislation on his desk related to utilities
and previously signed three other Hill bills
that requires remote-controlled shutoff valves
and comprehensive testing and record keeping
of its gas transmission lines; exempts victims
of the re from paying taxes on recovery
money; and another tax relief measure.
So far, PG&E has paid out about $145 mil-
lion in settlements for personal injury and
property damage up to June 30 and expects
that number to climb past $450 million,
PG&E spokeswoman Brittany Chord said.
It is currently crafting a pipeline safety plan
that needs to be approved by the CPUC and
will cost $2.2 billion for the rst phase of
infrastructure upgrades.
Hill, however, said PG&E will actually
prot nearly $1.5 billion for the rst phase of
improvements based on an approved rate of
return by the CPUC.
It is offensive that they will prot nearly
$1.5 billion, Hill said. He also said ratepay-
ers should not have to foot the bill for the util-
itys neglect but that its shareholders should.
Ratepayers, Chord said, will be on the hook
for about 85 percent of the xes needed to
improve the transmission system while share-
holders will cover about 15 percent of the
costs.
The average customers bill will increase
about $2 a month under the plan, Chord said.
Shareholders, however, have shelled out
about $1.5 billion in 2010 and 2011 for any
fixes to PG&Es statewide system from
Bakerseld to Eureka, Chord said.
PG&E, Hill said, knew about weld prob-
lems in its system going back to the 1970s and
failed to act for decades on NTSB recommen-
dations.
We have learned so much about our past
operations and culture and we are committed
to a culture of safety rst, Chord told the
Daily Journal. We are out there every day
testing and replacing pipelines to ensure the
system is safe.
One of the bills Hill sent to the governor last
week, Assembly Bill 578, would require the
CPUC to adopt gas pipeline safety recom-
mendations of the NTSB. The bill will ensure
that the NTSBs safety recommendations are
adopted since it has no power to enforce its
recommendations.
In the past year, pipeline explosions and
res in Cupertino and Roseville exposed a
vulnerability to brittle, older plastic pipe. The
NTSB had recommended that pipes replace-
ment, but those recommendations were not
heeded, according to Hills ofce.
In a ling two weeks ago with the CPUC,
the commissions safety program wrote that
after the explosion PG&E made meaning-
less pledges while doing nothing to change
its corporate emphasis on prots over ensur-
ing the safety of its gas pipeline system.
PG&E Co. has not delivered real corporate
culture change, safety program manager
Raffy Stepanian wrote in urging the CPUC to
sanction the company, which faces hundreds
of millions of dollars in nes.
A remembrance event marking the two-year
anniversary of the disaster is planned for 5
p.m. Sunday at San Bruno City Park on
Crystal Springs Road.

The city has already moved forward with
installing a median on Poplar but that remedy
has been called a short-term solution or tem-
porary Band-Aid by residents and council
members alike.
Although the council expressed favor for
Option 2A, it also requested a reevaluation of
a plan, called Option 15, that calls for elimi-
nating the on- and off-ramps at Poplar alto-
gether and adding southbound on- and off-
ramps at Peninsula Avenue using a tight dia-
mond design.
The council and about 40 members of the
public got its rst glimpse of a deeper analy-
sis of Option 15 last night at a study session
that showed up to as many as 21 properties
that could be impacted by the design.
Despite the possibility for eminent domain
being needed for the projects construction,
the council directed staff last night to dig
deeper into Option 15 to see what the true
impacts of the project would be, especially
along North Amphlett Boulevard.
Deputy Mayor David Lim, however, said
the city should drop the idea last night since it
has already approved a remedy for Poplar by
adding a center median leading up to the off-
and- on-ramps with Highway 101.
Id rather kill it tonight, Lim said about
Option 15.
But the other four members of the council
opted for staff to pursue more studies on the
Peninsula Avenue solution.
The Poplar x is not a permanent solu-
tion, Mayor Brandt Grotte said. We need to
look for a long-term solution.
Councilman Jack Matthews agreed.
We dont have enough information. I dont
think weve studied this enough. It could show
the option to be too disruptive and costly,
Matthews said about Option 15.
Some business owners on Amphlett said the
city has put them in limbo considering the
uncertainty related to eminent domain.
Some challenged whether the goal was to
really improve safety on Poplar.
If you are that worried about safety,
wouldnt you have done something already?
asked Lynn Lenardon, who owns Alert Door
on the 900 block of North Amphlett.
She said it would be hard to sell her build-
ing with the specter of eminent domain
hanging over the area.
Some were surprised the city was still con-
sidering Option 15.
There will be very severe eminent domain
impacts in the area, said attorney Herman
Fitzgerald, who said his client had thought
Option 15 was off the table.
Public Works Director Larry Patterson said
knowing the true impacts with the Peninsula
Avenue option would not be known for possi-
bly years since there is currently no project.
Option 15 would have to go through an
environmental review process before being
approved.
That process is also meant to protect the
property owner, Patterson said last night.
The city has studied up to 13 different
design options for the intersection over the
past eight years and has since whittled that
number down to two.
An increase in accidents prompted San
Mateo city ofcials to look at changing the
Highway 101 off-ramp at Poplar Avenue and
Amphlett Boulevard back in 2004. The city
began to consider changes at the Poplar
Avenue interchange once Caltrans approved
the widening of the Peninsula Avenue over-
pass that divides San Mateo and Burlingame.
The center median along Poplar, Option 2A,
is considered to be the low-cost alternative
that can be constructed quickly. Trafc con-
icts will be reduced on Poplar, however, the
option increases trafc on Humboldt Street
and requires Humboldt to become a truck
route, according to staff.
Closure of the Poplar ramps with construc-
tion of southbound on- and off-ramps at
Peninsula, which involves a tight diamond
design, is the most complex and costly of the
options. Option 15 improves trafc safety on
Poplar but adds traffic to Peninsula and
Humboldt.

Charlie The Meatball" Esposto
loves it, so will you!
By Sara Moulton
One of the great delights of
autumn is the abundance of fresh,
ripe, local and delicious apples. Of
course, theyre available year-round
these days, but theyre at their best
right now, not least because there
are more varieties to choose from in
the fall, especially if you take
advantage of your neighborhood
farmers market or visit one of those
pick-your-own orchards.
Everyone in my family has their
favorite. My daughter Ruthie loves
Ginger Gold. My son Sam is a fan
of Honey Crisp. And the husband
prefers a Granny Smith. Me, I go
with Golden Delicious. I know, not
a very exotic choice. Golden
Delicious is second only to Red
Delicious as the most popular kind
of apple. All I can say is that its a
winner for a reason. When the
Golden Delicious is baked, its a-
vor intensies and becomes honey-
like.
Then again, Ive never met an
apple I didnt like. They all have
their strong points. Some, like the
Honey Crisp, are perfect right off
the tree juicy, with a snappy tex-
ture. Others dont really begin to
shine until they are cooked. Granny
Smith and Rome apples hold their
shape perfectly in the oven, while
Macintosh fall completely apart
(which, happily, make them great
candidates for applesauce).
Which kind of apple should you
use for my apple cranberry brulee?
In this recipe it doesnt matter. Just
pick the one or two kinds you like
best.
Preparing this recipe is surpris-
ingly easy. I peel the apples, halve
them by cutting down through the
stem end, remove the core with a
melon baller (a good little trick to
remember), then thinly slice them to
speed up the baking time. Baking
the apples, rather than sauteing
them, allows me to avoid adding
any extra fat (aside from the egg
yolk).
I avor the apples with maple
syrup and brandy. I recommend
Grade B maple syrup, if you can
nd it. It is harvested at the end of
the season and is much darker in
color than Grade A. It also is more
avorful and, usually, cheaper. I
dont just use Grade B in baking, I
put it on everything. As for the
brandy, if you want to lose it, feel
free. This dish is plenty tasty with-
out it.
This treat is a cross between a
baked pancake, a souffle and a
creme brulee. It has an eggy top-
ping, reminiscent of a pancake, but
the egg white in the topping has
been beaten to soft peaks, which
makes it lighter and airier. In the
end, it is sprinkled with sieved
brown sugar and popped back in the
oven until it gets a dark brown crust
that tastes like the burnt sugar on the
famous custard. The nished prod-
uct embodies the best of three great
recipes, though nothing outshines
the apples.
APPLE CRANBERRY BRULEE
Start to nish: 1 hour 10 minutes
(30 minutes active)
Servings: 6
2 medium apples (about 1 pound),
peeled, cored, quartered and thinly
sliced
1/3 cup dried cranberries, cherries
or raisins
5 tablespoons maple syrup
(preferably Grade B), divided
3 tablespoons brandy, bourbon or
rum, divided (optional)
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch table salt
2 large egg whites, room temper-
ature
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
Heat the oven to 450 F.
In a 9-inch round shallow baking
dish, combine the apples, cranber-
ries, 2 tablespoons of the maple
syrup and 2 tablespoons of the
brandy, if using. Cover the baking
dish with foil and bake in the mid-
dle of the oven for 35 to 40 minutes,
or until a paring knife goes through
the apples very easily. Remove the
apples from the oven and increase
the oven heat to 500 F.
While the apples are baking, in a
medium bowl, whisk together the
egg yolk, remaining 3 tablespoons
maple syrup, remaining tablespoon
of brandy, the cornstarch, vanilla
and salt. Set aside.
Once the apples are tender, in
another medium bowl, beat the egg
whites until they form soft peaks.
Stir one half of the whites into the
yolk mixture, then gently but thor-
oughly fold in the remaining whites.
Spread the mixture evenly over the
top of the apples.
Place the brown sugar in a mesh
sieve. Hold the sieve above the egg
topping and press the sugar through
it to evenly sprinkle it over the top-
ping. Bake the dessert in the top
third of the oven until nicely
browned, about 2 minutes. Serve
right away.

Weight loss groups
back New York Citys
sugary drinks plan
By Jennifer Peltz
NEW YORK The citys planned
crackdown on super-sized sugary
drinks got prominent backing
Tuesday from Weight Watchers,
Jenny Craig and other diet compa-
nies, who added their inuence to the
campaign ahead of a vote next week.
The announcement made at a
press conference featuring Mayor
Michael Bloomberg and a top Weight
Watchers ofcial was the latest in
a volley of statements of support for
both advocates and critics of the plan,
which calls for restaurants, movie the-
aters, sports arenas, food carts and
delis to stop selling sodas and other
sugary drinks in servings larger than
16 ounces.
Bloomberg and other proponents
call it a sensible way to encourage
people to cut calories. Opponents see
it as government overreaching and
question its effectiveness.
To the diet groups, its a tool that
ts with their approach to making
healthy eating easier.
Today, we live in a world where
despite our best intentions, its often-
times very difcult on your own to
make the healthy choice, said David
Burwick, president of Weight
Watchers North America. We all
need to take more personal responsi-
bility for our own weight and eating
habits, but it helps to remember what
a healthy portion size is in a world
where super-size portions have
become the norm.
The proposal is set for a Sept. 13
vote at the city Board of Health,
whose members are appointed by
Bloomberg. If approved, it would take
effect as early as March.
Bloomberg has been the leading
advocate for the plan, which follows
other efforts to spur New Yorkers to
mind what they eat. During his 11-
year tenure, the city has barred arti-
cial trans fats from food served in
restaurants and compelled chain
restaurants to post calorie counts on
menus.
Still, the city spends roughly $4 bil-
lion a year on weight-related health
problems, the mayor says. He sees
limiting the serving size of sugary
drinks as a meaningful step but not
an inexible order to keep people
from downing calories they might not
even think about.

more than $25 million will be required to
identify where revenue or spending cuts
would be made to offset the new expenditures,
according to the state legislative analyst.
The nancial impact would be $200 million
in annual sales tax revenue going toward the
local bodies that choose to create a strategic
action plan.
Local strategic action plans
Whether these provisions will help or hurt
the state is up for debate.
Proposition 31 will put into the
Constitution an accountability framework to
improve what people care about; education,
safety and health, said Jim Mayer, executive
director of California Forward, the govern-
ment reform advocacy group that wrote
Proposition 31.
One provision grants local governments
state money to create strategic action plans.
Seventy percent of the state budget gets spent
on communities, Mayer said. So the state
budget is really a local budget.
Allowing local entities to form new plans
and receive some extra state money would
encourage innovation and efciency, Mayer
said.
But Wayne Lusvardi, who has worked on
the budgets of community agencies in Los
Angeles, said implementing the strategic
action plans would further complicate state
bureaucracy and administration.
The revenue would ow to this committee
instead of to the city or county, said Lusvardi.
Were talking about another layer of govern-
ment.
However, Mayer said these new voluntary
committees would be able to make the
changes that are truly needed in their own
communities.
The state is in a habit of trying to write
rules that apply everywhere, said Mayer.
Proposition 31 would give counties like San
Mateo the exibility to meet their own needs,
he said.
This would allow a county the exibility
implement something its officials thought
would work better, for example, a better way
to use resources to protect children in foster
homes, he said.
Lusvardi countered that the provision would
enable the new local committees to potential-
ly go around state laws.
Its not the authority to override, its the
authority to propose, said Mayer.
New spending
San Jose high school teacher Don Dawson
is against Proposition 31. Requiring new
expenditures to nd where the offsetting rev-
enue or spending cuts would come from
would prevent new ows of school funding,
he said.
We are at historically low levels of state
spending, said Dawson, a board member of
the California Teachers Association, which is
against Proposition 31. This initiative would
say, youve been ratcheted down from crisis
and thats the amount were going to use as we
go forward.
Dawson said the measure puts a spending
cap on education, but Mayer argues there is no
spending cap imposed by Proposition 31.
Some say this locks in spending at the bot-
tom of the recession, but this doesnt lock in
spending anywhere, Mayer said. Under a
pay-as-you-go (PAYGO) program allowing
only spending that does not increase the
decit money can be spent, but there can-
not be an arbitrary cutting of taxes just
because it is a good year, he said.
With already $10 billion deferred from edu-
cation funding, Dawson said, this is not a good
starting point for stricter spending require-
ments. Dawson said he might be in support of
the proposition if it were enacted ve years
ago, when education spending was $20 billion
higher than it is today.
Were stuck in this historic low where
many schools have no librarians, he said. To
say that this is the new normal is just unfair to
students.
Dr. James Fishkin, director of the Center for
Deliberative Democracy at Stanford
University, said Proposition 31 could actually
help teachers. We have all these billion dollar
surprises and teacher layoffs, he said. I think
stability would be great advantage.
But Dawson said if you grow from a low
spot, youre holding things down.
If youre only working 80 percent of the
time and someone says well we need some
predictability going forward so well hold you
down at that level, that wouldnt be fair to
you, he said.

PROP. 31
Require new spending bills of more than
$25 million to identify revenue or other
spending cuts to offset the funds;
Local entities (i.e.counties,school districts,
water districts) may receive state funding
for implementation of a strategic action
planand may alter how state laws apply to
these entities;
Create a two-year budget plan (instead
of the current annual cycle);
Give the governor power to make budget
cuts in a scal crisis;
Requires periodic performance reviews
of state and local programs; and
Bills must be made public for three days
prior to a legislative session.
What Prop. 31 would do
First, however, lawmakers will try during a
post-election lame duck session to renew
Bush-era tax cuts and head off a round of
forced budget austerity as automatic budget
cuts are scheduled in January to slam both the
Pentagon and domestic programs. Those cuts
were required by another failed set of budget
talks last fall by a bipartisan supercommit-
tee.
GOP vice presidential nominee Rep. Paul
Ryan of Wisconsin piled on as well.
Of all the broken promises from President
Obama, this is probably the worst one,
because this debt is threatening jobs today, its
threatening prosperity today and it is guaran-
teeing that our children and grandchildren get
a diminished future, Ryan told supporters in
Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Ryan was named to
Obamas debt commission but voted against a
proposal by its co-chairs. He declined an invi-
tation by House Speaker John Boehner, R-
Ohio, to try again on the supercommittee.
Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, said: This debt
will not only be a liability for our kids and
grandkids, but economists also tell us that it
will limit economic growth and kill millions
of jobs now and in the future. Portman was a
member of last years failed supercommittee,
which deadlocked over taxes and cuts to pop-
ular benet programs.
The debt topped the $16 trillion mark on
Friday.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has
said the government will likely reach its debt
limit at the end of the year. However, Geithner
has said he will be able to employ various
extraordinary measures to keep the govern-
ment operating until sometime early next year.
Geithner would need to use these measures if
Congress, as expected, fails to tackle the debt
limit by years end.
Last years prolonged impasse between the
GOP-dominated House and Democrats con-
trolling the Senate and the White House con-
tributed to a move by the ratings agency
Standard & Poors to lower Americas AAA
bond rating for the rst time in the countrys
history, nudging it down a notch to AA+ for
long-term securities.
GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney
promises sharp spending cuts and a balanced
budget by 2020 if he wins the White House,
but has provided little detail about how that
might be accomplished.
For his part, Obama has declined to tackle
the spiraling growth of benet programs like
Medicare and the Medicaid health program
for the poor and disabled. His proposals to
hike taxes on upper income earners have been
repeatedly rejected by Republicans, but he
promises to insist on them if he wins re-elec-
tion.
DEBT
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2012
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Should you fnd yourself
facing a situation similar to one you handled
successfully once before, dont try to do anything
different. What worked well in the past will work well
again.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Financial trends appear
to be exceptionally encouraging for you at this point
in time. Now is the day to look for ways to make
extra funds and get rid of old debts.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Partnership arrange-
ments tend to have better chances for success at
this time than do solo efforts. However, should you
form an alliance, you will need to play a strong sup-
portive role.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Strong, benefcial
interests will be favoring you at this point in time.
Dedicate all your efforts toward generating as much
income as you possibly can.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- When and where
there is a need to assert authority, do so without any
hesitation. Youll instinctively know how to do so in
ways that wont cause others to take offense.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Youll have a special
knack for ably managing matters that have stumped
all previous comers. You might have to utilize this gift
in two cases.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Your judgment is
excellent at this juncture, and all involved should
beneft. A critical decision is likely to be required that
will affect others as well as yourself.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Both buying and selling
will be wise things for you to do. This is because
youll be equally as shrewd a purchaser as you are a
producer. Do what suits your needs.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Youll be equally as
adept at fguring out what will sell as you are getting
the help you need to produce it. You may fnd both
assets among people you already know.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Do your best to perform
at a top level instead of doing just enough to be ac-
ceptable. Accomplishing something signifcant will be
noted and rewarded by the powers that be.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Chances are there is
plenty of justifcation for your expectations to be run-
ning high at this time. You are now in a cycle where
some remarkable things can be accomplished.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- There is a strong possibil-
ity that you will be a bit luckier than usual where
your career and/or earnings are concerned. Take
measures to produce something ambitious and
wide-ranging.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Mary A. Marshall
aka Mary Albertina Marshall
Case Number 122657
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Mary A. Marshall aka
Mary Albertina Marshall. A Petition for
Probate has been filed by Marilyn M.
Moon in the Superior Court of California,
County of San Mateo. The Petition for
Probate requests that Marilyn M. Moon
be appointed as personal representative
to administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
able for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: October 2, 2012 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, 1st Floor, Redwood City,
CA 94063. If you object to the granting
of the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written 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.
