DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
An eight-story, 196-unit
apartment building is coming to
a large parcel in downtown
Redwood City, according to
developers who say the intersec-
tion of Main and Marshall
streets is a perfect fit for housing
near the citys vibrant urban
core.
This is an ideal location that
offers a dynamic urban lifestyle
option within walking distance
to shops and restaurants and
close proximity to the areas
major employment centers and
transportation corridors, Alex
Waterbury, president of Northern
California development for
Lennar Apartment Communities,
said in a prepared statement.
The building at 601 Main St. is
a joint venture between Lennar
and Resmark Apartment Living.
The building will have seven
floors of apartments sitting on
top of 3,500 square feet of
ground-floor retail space. The
units, which range from studios
to two-bedrooms, will average
901 square feet and include
amenities like pre-wiring for
broadband Internet.
The building will also have a
3,500-square-foot deck on the
fourth floor overlooking Main
Street, a fitness center, pool ,
indoor storage for approximate-
ly 100 bicycles and lounge with
full kitchen for events.
The Redwood City Planning
Commission signed off on the
project and the planned commu-
nity permit in June. At that
meeting, the 50,468-square-foot
site was described as L-shaped,
occupying three-quarters of the
existing block with fronts on
Bradford, Main, Marshall, and
Walnut streets. Access to the
330-space parking garage will
be on Bradford, Walnut and
Marshall streets.
Construction is scheduled to
begin early next year with com-
pletion in early 2016.

ARedwood City landlord accused
by a family living in his duplex of
denying a wheelchair-bound teen a
ramp and blocking his access with
cars and a dumpster will pay
$21,500 to settle a housing dis-
crimination lawsuit out of court.
David Pelayo, owner of the
Hoover Street duplex, settled the
case in June with the Department
of Fair Employment and Housing
on behalf of Melissa Sweezey, her
partner Antonio Virelas, her 18-
year-old son Derek Gaerlan and
South San Francisco-based
Housing Equality Law Project.
Pelayo did not have to admit lia-
bility but agreed to attend fair
housing training.
Gaerlan has cerebral palsy and is
mostly paralyzed, leaving him
reliant on an electric wheelchair.
Pelayos inaction on the ramp
request, permission for other ten-
ants to ll the driveway with vehi-
cles and placement of a large
dumpster for weeks kept Gaerlan
unable to reach his back housing
unit and once trapped him between
cars in the rain for hours, said

Nonprots spend lots and lots of
time fundraising in ways that are
wasteful, outdated, lead to inef-
ciencies and turn off potential
donors, according to the founders
of an online portal called
CommitChange that pledges to
save nonprofits big money and
help backers know their donations
are being spent wisely.
So much time is spent on
fundraising duties that it weakens
the services nonprots are able to
provide, said Roderick Campbell,
co-founder of CommitChange,
which was launched in Olympia,
Wash. late last year.
Campbell and partner Jay
Bolton noticed their website was
being tracked online by Adam
Draper, who runs the Boost VC
business accelerator in downtown
San Mateo.
With the Draper name being
synonymous with venture capital
support of some of the worlds
most innovative companies, the
partners started to check in on who
Adam was and learned he and Boost
could help take CommitChange to
the next level.
After all, Adams father Tim is
the founder of the Draper
University of Heroes in downtown
San Mateo that supports young
entrepreneurs. Tim Draper also
rst funded Hotmail, Skype, Tesla
Motors and many, many more.
Now, Campbell and Bolton are
in the midst of an intense several-
week program in downtown San
Mateo alongside other young
business owners in an effort to
improve the companys product
and nd investors.
Boost VC is not that old either
but has already helped about eight
companies secure angel invest-
ment.

Black male humanity
shown in Fruitvale
Oscar Grant did not deserve to die.
This is the central message of
Fruitvale Station, a lm dramatizing
the real-life case of the young unarmed
black man shot in the back by a white
police ofcer in 2009. Its a common
message, often heard in lm and life in
general. But the way writer/director
Ryan Coogler delivers this message is
extraordinary.
As portrayed by Michael B. Jordan
(beware of plot spoilers ahead) Grant
is a great father and a convicted
felon. He loves his girlfriend and he
cheats on her. He wants to hold down a
legal job and he cant make it to
work on time. Hes a drug dealer who
takes time to make his bed in the
morning, a hardened convict and a
mamas boy a thuggish angel.
By the time the credits roll, Oscar
Grant has become one of the rarest
artifacts in American culture: a three-
dimensional portrait of a young black
male a human being.
Which raises the question: If Grant
was a real person, what about all these
other young black males rendered as
cardboard cutouts by our merciless cul-
ture? What other humanity are we
missing?
Everyone either made Oscar out to
be a saint, depending on whatever
their political agenda was, and on the
other side they
made him out to be
this villain,
Coogler said in an
interview.
Everything he
had ever done
wrong in his life
was magnified,
Coogler said. He
was just a criminal,
a thug, a drug dealer, and he deserved
what he got. You live that type of
lifestyle, you get what you deserve.
His humanity was lost.
Grant was 22 years old in the early
hours of New Years Day, returning
home to Oakland with his girl and
other friends. In the lm, a ght starts
on the train when Grant encounters an
enemy from prison. Police detained
Grant and his friends on the platform
of the Fruitvale station.
The police are abusive; Grant and
friends respond with belligerence.
Grant is being held face down on the
platform, unarmed and struggling,
when the ofcer shoots him once in
the back. Numerous bystanders cap-
tured the scene on video.
Thats the rst scene of the lm,
using real video shot by bystanders.
Then it jumps backwards one day to l l
in the blanks of an average brother, to
illustrate the mundane moments with
family, friends and strangers that con-
stitute real life.
When Grants death hit the news,
what much of the public saw was a con-
victed drug dealer who had been
released from prison three months
before his death. They saw a trouble-
maker who police said was resisting
arrest. They didnt see everything else
thats in Fruitvale Station.
If theres one thing missing in our
country, its an acknowledgment of
the broad humanity of black folks,
Ta-Nehisi Coates recently wrote on his
blog at TheAtlantic.com. Racism
and anti-black racism in particular
is the belief that theres something
wrong with black people.
The remedy: Close the gap between
what they see and who we really are,
Coates wrote.
Asked what it felt like to close that
gap, the actor Jordan said, It felt real.
It felt like I was telling a story for
young African-American males who
are stereotyped and judged before peo-
ple get a chance to know them.
We wanted to let people know who
this guy was through the people who
knew him the best, Jordan said.
Show the good, bad and the ugly.
Flaws and all.
Fruitvale Station is not unprece-
dented. Its part of a recent wave of
independent black lms that are put-
ting authentic black characters on
more screens than ever.
This can make a difference in how
black men are perceived in the real
world, said black filmmaker Ava
DuVernay.

ohn Sutter was a ambitious man who
wanted to carve out his personal king-
dom in the California wilds of the
Sacramento Valley. He amassed an enormous
fortune and acquired vast acres of land in the
Valley and he almost achieved his goal
except for one historical event that spoiled
his plans the California gold rush.
Born in Baden, Germany in 1803, his
father was born in Switzerland and John
moved there for schooling. He later joined
the Swiss army and became a captain of the
artillery. Things went well for Sutter and he
married Annette Dubeld at 23. His wifes
mother was rich and she set him up in a
store business. Sutter proceeded to run the
business into the ground with enormous
debt. He was faced with a dilemma now
should he stay and raise his ve children or
should he run away? Rather than be thrown
into the debtors jail, he chose to leave the
country and his family and arrived in New
York in 1834. He became restless and
moved to St. Louis then on to Santa Fe,
N.M. territory and nally entered Westport,
Oregon Territory. Next he was found in Fort
Vancouver in April 1838.
He wanted to go to Yerba Buena to full l
his dream of starting a new state but the
only boat available was going to Hawaii.
He took the offer hoping to get a boat to
Yerba Buena but the only boat out of Hawaii
was going to Sitka, Alaska. He picked up
goods (on credit of course) he felt he could
sell in California for a prot while waiting
to leave. Finally, he got a boat to
California and arrived in Yerba Buena on
July 1, 1839. At this time, California had
1,000 Europeans and 10,000 Native
Americans. Sutter needed permission from
governor Juan Bautista Alvarado to stay in
California and to acquire a land grant from
John Sutter and the California gold rush

the Mexican government he needed to
become a citizen of Mexico also.
On Aug. 29, 1840, he became a Mexican
citizen and a year later he received a grant of
48,827 acres by what is now Sacramento. It
stretched along the Sacramento River from
New Helvetia to the Feather River and pres-
ent-day Marysville. Then he was appointed
to be the alcalde (or chief enforcement of-
cer) which gave him the power of life and
death over his subjects. He named his set-
tlement New Helvetia, or New Switzerland
after his homeland.
Sutter began building his fort in 1839
and completed it in 1841. He had visited
Fort Laramie in Wyoming and he was
impressed enough of its form that he pat-
terned Fort Sutter after this army fort. Sutter
was not a big man but he had an imposing
demeanor with a military bearing and a air
for attracting people to him. By the time he
acquired the land for his kingdom, he had
acquired a number of people along the way
who wanted to share in his dreams. He
became friends of the Indians and they
helped make thousands of adobe bricks for
the home he placed in the center of the com-
pound. Surrounded by a thick and high wall
that would ward off any attack, he placed
workshops and stores in which he was to
produce all goods necessary for the settle-
ment.
In 1841, he purchased the Russian Fort
(Fort Ross) for the sum of $30,000 (on cred-
it). Now he had boards, ammunition, can-
nons and livestock. At the end of 1841,
members of the Bartleson-Bidwell immigra-
tion party arrived, the st to cross over the
Sierra Nevada. Many more pioneers were to
use the facilities of Sutter Fort and many
were saved by the generosity of Sutter in
rescuing stranded parties in the mountains.
Wheat was grown and a number of trap-
pers were hired by Sutter to trap beavers for
their pelts. One of the rst things he did was
to collect the grapes in the area and distill a
potent brandy called aguardiente.
In 1843, another immigration party led
by Joseph B. Chiles and Joseph Walker
arrived. In March 1844, John Fremont and
his bedraggled starving band of trail blaz-
ers stopped at the fort. Fremont was to
become a familiar gure in the area for a
number of months and have his hand in the
Bear Flag rebellion and the taking over of
California for the U.S. government.
In July 1845, a immigrant group arrived
from the Willamette Valley in Oregon.
Among them was a man who would change
the history of California and the world. His
name was James Wilson Marshall. He was a
millwright. Sutter hired him immediately as
a handyman-carpenter.
Late in December 1845, Fremont and Kit
Carson and their band of topographers
were back and eventually he placed General
Vallejo under guard at Sutters Fort after the
Bear Flag Revolt in mid-June 1846. Things
were spinning out of control for the
Mexicans.
Sutter needed water-powered mills to cut
logs into lumber and to grind grain into
our.
He started a gristmill a few miles upstream
from the fort and he decided to build the
water-powered mill in a well-timbered val-
ley called Cullomah (now Coloma). By late
August, the mill was underway and it was
unfinished when, on Jan. 24, 1848,
Marshall discovered gold in the newly dug
tailrace.
After determining it was gold, Sutter had
Marshall and his workers to keep it quiet
until after the mill was finished. That
worked for a while until work leaked out that
there was gold on the American River.
Because there had been many gold discover-
ies in the past, this news was received cau-
tiously by most at rst until newspaper-
man, Samuel Brannan, visited the area and
became convinced that the gold strike was
real. He quickly returned to San Francisco
and shouted out to the world as he walked
down Montgomery Avenue that there was
really gold on the American River.
What was to follow changed the entire
history of San Francisco and the nation.

Journal.

Hotel welcomes second
set of nesting barn owls
A second family of barn owls
has taken up a nest at a Burlingame
hotel that has embraced its new
role as a protector of wildlife.
The San Francisco Airport
Marriott Waterfront reported this
week that a second family of three
young barn owls has been spotted
on its balconies.
The hotel was already playing
host to one family of the noctur-
nal birds that hatched four babies
on the balcony of room 1141 last
month.
This is the second year that owls
have nested at the hotel, and the
rst that more than one family has
done so.
Hotel ofcials have welcomed
their new guests, and were recently
given a Certified Wildlife
Habitat designation from the
National Wildlife Federation, they
said this week.
Because barn owls are protected
birds of prey, hotel ofcials have
not moved them and try to keep
the room on the Concierge Level,
now referred to as the Hoot
Suite, vacant. When the hotel is
sold out and the room is needed,
the hotel asks guests to be
respectful of the birds.
In celebration of the barn owls,
children staying at the hotel are
being offered a complimentary
stuffed owl toy, as are guests in
room 1141.
The breeding seasons for barn
owls typically starts in March or
early April, but breeding can occur
at any time of year when food is
plentiful, according to hotel of-
cials. The female usually lays four to
seven eggs, and stays in the nest to
care for the eggs and chicks while
the male brings food to the nest.
Second suspect arrested in
Montara assault, robbery
A Half Moon Bay man was
arrested Friday in connection with
the assault and robbery of two
teenage boys in Montara, accord-
ing to the San Mateo County
Sheriffs Ofce.
Alec Silva, 18, is the second
suspect to be arrested in connec-
tion with the May 4th attack on
two boys, ages 13 and 14 years
old, sheriffs ofce ofcials said.
The boys were playing on the
basketball courts at Farallone
View School in Montara when
they were approached by two older
teenagers who made derogatory
remarks, the sheriffs ofce said.
When the younger boys yelled
back, they were chased into a
wooded area in the Rancho Corral
De Tierra Preserve, which lies
north of the school.
The victims attempted to hide,
but they were discovered, the sher-
iffs ofce said.
The suspects allegedly assaulted
them with their sts and stole a
watch, a cell phone and one of the
victims tennis shoes.
The two assailants drove off in a
gray Suzuki Samurai.
One of the suspects was later
identied as Austin Krieger, 18, of

A million pounds of
hazardous household
wasted collected from
Peninsula homes
One million pounds of haz-
ardous waste has been collected
over the past three years from
households throughout the
Peninsula, according to
RethinkWaste, a joint powers
authority comprised of San Mateo
County cities and the WEST Bay
Sanitary District.
Since May 2010, residents have
safely disposed of hazardous
household waste such as paint,
solvents, insecticides, cleaning
products and electronics through
RethinkWastes door-to-door
waste collection.
This is an exciting milestone
demonstrating hwo much of this
material is stored out there in resi-
dents garages and other storage
places, said RethinkWaste
Executive Director Kevin McCarthy.
McCarthy said RethinkWastes
largest challenge will be continu-
ing to collect vast amounts of con-
sumer waste and to push for more
laws to fund collection programs.
The door-to-door household haz-
ardous waste program gives resi-
dents in participating cities
throughout San Mateo County a
simple process to safely dispose
of hazardous liquids and electron-
ics such as computers and televi-
sions.
Residents can participate by
calling (800) HHW-PKUP or by
sending an email to atyour-
door@wm.com to schedule a col-
lection appointment with collec-
tion partner At Your Door.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO While the
state Legislature remains in ses-
sion most of the year, action on
the most high-prole bills tends
to be clustered in the days leading
up to several deadlines.
Unsurprisingly, its during
those periods of fast-paced votes
to approve state budget legisla-
tion and to keep bills alive by
sending them to the opposite
chamber that lawmakers most
often want a do-over on their
votes.
Through the rst half of this
years legislative session, budget-
related bills dealing corrections,
the court system, mental health
programs and dental care for low-
income adults were among the
measures that generated a signi-
cant number of altered or added
votes after a bills fate had been
decided.
Gun-control measures also saw a
handful of vote ips, as did vari-
ous bills at the end of May when
the chambers considered dozens of
bills during all-day sessions.
The vote-switching practice,
called to attention last year after
an Associated Press investigation,
has a long history in the
Assembly and gives lawmakers
political cover: They can vote one
way on a bill or avoid voting alto-
gether when it matters, only to add
or change their vote after the fact.
That allows them to present an
official record to their con-
stituents that may be at odds with
how they acted at the time the bill
passed or failed.
In the Senate, only the two
party leaders are allowed to change
or add votes.
Members of the Assembly are
allowed to alter their vote before
the end of the days session and
only if the action does not change
the outcome of the oor vote. The
practice was used more than 5,000
times last year, the AP review
found.
Since the Legislature recon-
vened in January, every lawmaker
in the Assembly has changed or
added a vote at least once. On
every one of the 97 bills the
Assembly passed on May 30, for
example, at least one legislator
revised his or her vote, with most
of the changes coming from law-
makers who did not record a posi-
tion in the initial tally.
One of the bills considered that
day, AB361, would allow
California to receive federal
money to pay for certain health
services for those with chronic
medical or substance abuse condi-
tions. It passed on the Assembly
oor with the bare 41-vote major-
i t y, but the nal count shows 13
lawmakers later adding their sup-
port and another six adding an
opposition vote.
Charles Stewart, spokesman for
bills author, Democratic
Assemblywoman Holly Mitchell
of Los Angeles, attributed the
tardy votes to the days hectic
schedule, not the bills provi-
sions.
When members do see that a
bill has enough votes, they may
not run to their desks to add on,
Stewart said.
Assembly Speaker John Perez,
D-Los Angeles,
defends the
practice, say-
ing in a state-
ment that law-
makers may
be meeting in a
committee off
the oor while
a vote is taking
place, testify-
ing in the Senate, or perhaps in a
media interview that forces them
to miss a vote.
But government watchdog
groups say allowing lawmakers to
change or add their vote after the
fact hurts public trust and reduces
transparency.
Still, they see little public pres-
sure to change the rule, either
internally or through a ballot ini-
tiative.

Some ankle bracelet
alarms go unchecked
Three decades after they were introduced as a crime-ght-
ing tool, electronic ankle bracelets used to track an offend-
ers whereabouts have proliferated so much that ofcials are
struggling to handle an avalanche of monitoring alerts that
are often nothing more sinister than a dead battery, lost
satellite contact or someone arriving home late from work.
Amid all that white noise, alarms are going unchecked,
sometimes on defendants now accused of new crimes.
Some agencies dont have clear protocols on how to han-
dle the multitude of alerts, or dont always follow them. At
times, ofcials took days to act, if they noticed at all, when
criminals tampered with their bracelets or broke a curfew.
I think the perception ... is that these people are being
watched 24 hours a day by someone in a command center.
Thats just not happening, said Rob Bains, director of
court services for Floridas Ninth Judicial Circuit Court,
which this spring halted its monitoring programs after
two people on the devices were accused in separate shoot-
ings.
At least 100,000 sex offenders, parolees and people free
on bail or probation wear ankle bracelets that can sound an
alarm if they leave home without permission, fail to show
up for work or linger near a playground or school.
YOUNTVILLE Tucked away in
Northern California wine country, a
small mental health organization has
found success working with struggling
U.S. service members, reducing suicide
rates with unconventional treatment
methods that include backrubs and
cookouts.
Soldiers in the specialized counsel-
ing program in Napa Valley receive
traditional therapy to treat depression,
post-traumatic stress disorder and
other problems linked to combat
stress.
But at The Pathway Home, services
expand to social gatherings, photog-
raphy classes and even swimming with
dolphins.
About 380 veterans have gone
through the program in the past ve
years, and only one has committed sui-
cide. The results have drawn the atten-
tion of an Army detachment that has
stationed itself at the center for train-
ing through September.
Military ofcials say service mem-
bers respond to the treatment because
it acknowledges their unique experi-
ences and helps them adapt to often
overlooked aspects of civilian life.
Here theyre not patients, theyre
residents, said Col. David Rabb who
commands the Armys 113th Medical
Detachment, Combat Stress Control.
The program is respecting them for
who they are, theyre warriors, he
said.
At Pathways four-month program,
veterans learn to manage their nances
and receive career, legal and education-
al advice, said Fred Gusman, the orga-
nizations executive director.
When you go to a hospital, theyre
not going to help you with your legal
problems, said Gusman, who helped
start the program in 2008. They
might have marital counseling. They
might not have marital counseling.
Theyre not about getting you in
school, because theyre a medical cen-
ter. Pathway is about the whole per-
son.

RENO The largest outdoor arts
festival in North America is about to
become bigger. Federal land managers
have issued Burning Man organizers a
four-year special recreation permit that
allows a peak population of 68,000 on
the northern Nevada desert this year.
Last year, attendance at the offbeat
art and music festival on the Black
Rock Desert peaked at 56,000
below the previous maximum allow-
able population of 60,900. The festi-
val will be held Aug. 26-Sept. 2.
Gene Seidlitz, manager of the U.S.
Bureau of Land Managements
Winnemucca District, said the agency
is requiring organizers to comply with
more than 60 conditions related to
issues such as security, public safety,
resource management and cleanup.
He said hes condent that sufcient
requirements are in place to protect the
starkly beautiful deserts environment
and to ensure public safety.
Our priorities in managing this per-
mit continue to be the protection and
conservation of natural and cultural
resources, as well as the safety for all
participants and staffs, Seidlitz said.
Burning Man spokeswoman Megan
Miller hailed the issuance of the multi-
year permit, saying organizers are
establishing the rst shuttle bus serv-
ice to the event and making other
improvements to Black Rock Citys
infrastructure to prepare for larger
crowds.

WASHINGTON Four out of
ve U.S. adults struggle with job-
lessness, near poverty or reliance
on welfare for at least parts of
their lives, a sign of deteriorating
economic security and an elusive
American dream.
Survey data exclusive to the
Associated Press points to an
increasingly globalized U.S.
economy, the widening gap
between rich and poor and loss of
good-paying manufacturing jobs
as reasons for the trend.
The ndings come as President
Barack Obama tries to renew his
administrations emphasis on the
economy, saying in recent
speeches that his highest priority
is to rebuild ladders of opportuni-
ty and reverse income inequality.
Hardship is particularly on the
rise among whites, based on sev-
eral measures. Pessimism among
that racial group about their fami-
lies economic futures has climbed
to the highest point since at least
1987. In the most recent AP-GfK
poll, 63 percent of whites called
the economy poor.
I think its going to get
worse, said Irene Salyers, 52, of
Buchanan County, Va., a declining
coal region in Appalachia.
Married and divorced three times,
Salyers now helps run a fruit and
vegetable stand with her
boyfriend, but it doesnt generate
much income. They live mostly
off government disability checks.
Not hiring
If you do try to go apply for a
job, theyre not hiring people,
and theyre not paying that much
to even go to work, she said.
Children, she said, have nothing
better to do than to get on drugs.
While racial and ethnic minori-
ties are more likely to live in
poverty, race disparities in the
poverty rate have narrowed sub-
stantially since the 1970s, census
data show. Economic insecurity
among whites also is more perva-
sive than is shown in government
data, engulng more than 76 per-
cent of white adults by the time
they turn 60, according to a new
economic gauge being published
next year by the Oxford
University Press.
The gauge defines economic
insecurity as experiencing unem-
ployment at some point in their
working lives, or a year or more of
reliance on government aid such
as food stamps or income below
150 percent of the poverty line.
Measured across all races, the risk
of economic insecurity rises to 79
percent.
Its time that America comes to
understand that many of the
nations biggest disparities, from
education and life expectancy to
poverty, are increasingly due to
economic class position, said
William Julius Wilson, a Harvard
professor who specializes in race
and poverty.
He noted that despite continuing
economic difculties, minorities
have more optimism about the
future after Obamas election,
while struggling whites do not.
There is the real possibility
that white alienation will increase
if steps are not taken to highlight
and address inequality on a broad
front, Wilson said.
The invisible poor
Sometimes termed the invisible
poor by demographers, lower-
income whites are generally dis-
persed in suburbs as well as small
rural towns, where more than 60
percent of the poor are white.
Concentrated in Appalachia in the
East, they are also numerous in the
industrial Midwest and spread
across Americas heartland, from
Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma
up through the Great Plains.
More than 19 million whites
fall below the poverty line of
$23,021 for a family of four,
accounting for more than 41 per-
cent of the nations destitute,
nearly double the number of poor
blacks.
Still, while census gures pro-
vide an ofcial measure of pover-
t y, theyre only a temporary snap-
shot. The numbers dont capture
the makeup of those who cycle in
and out of poverty at different
points in their lives. They may be
suburbanites, for example, or the
working poor or the laid off.
In 2011 that snapshot showed
12.6 percent of adults in their
prime working-age years of 25-60
lived in poverty. But measured in
terms of a persons lifetime risk, a
much higher number 4 in 10
adults falls into poverty for at
least a year of their lives.
The risks of poverty also have
been increasing in recent decades,
particularly among people ages
35-55, coinciding with widening
income inequality. For instance,
people ages 35-45 had a 17 per-
cent risk of encountering poverty
during the 1969-1989 time peri-
od; that risk increased to 23 per-
cent during the 1989-2009 period.
For those ages 45-55, the risk of
poverty jumped from 11.8 percent
to 17.7 percent.
By race, nonwhites still have a
higher risk of being economically
insecure, at 90 percent. But com-
pared with the official poverty
rate, some of the biggest jumps
under the newer measure are among
whites, with more than 76 percent
enduring periods of joblessness,
life on welfare or near-poverty.
Signs of declining economic security
Florida apartment gunman
described as lonely, angry
HIALEAH, Fla. The gunman who went on a shooting
rampage at his South Florida apartment building, killing
six people, was a lonely man who spoke about having pent
up anger, those who knew him said Sunday.
Pedro Vargas, 42, lived on the fourth oor of a barren,
concrete apartment complex in the Miami suburb of
Hialeah with his elderly mother. He rarely spoke with oth-
ers there, and conded to a man who worked out at the same
gym that he liked to work out his anger by lifting weights
and trying to get big.
Hed just say this was the only thing that would keep
him normal, pulling out all the anger in the gym, Jorge
Bagos said.Bagos said the gunman expressed frustration
over bad experiences with women and losing all his hair
from using steroids.
Friday night, Vargas set a combustible liquid on re in his
apartment, sending the unit into ames. Building manager
Italo Pisciotti and his wife went running toward the smoke.
Vargas opened his door and shot and killed both of them,
Lt. Carl Zogby, Hialeah police spokesman said.

WASHINGTON The House is set
to go along with a bipartisan Senate
compromise that would link college
students interest rates to the nancial
markets and offer borrowers lower
rates this fall.
The Senate bill hews closely to one
the House already has passed, and lead-
ers from both parties and in both
chambers expect those differences
wont stand in the way of quick resolu-
tion, perhaps as early as Wednesday.
House approval would send the
measure to President Barack Obama,
who has said he would sign it into law
right away.
But critics note that if the economy
improves as expected, rates could
climb higher.
If the Republican-led House consents
to the Senates tinkering with the
Houses earlier proposal, and Obama
signs the legislation before students
start returning to campus, families
would see better deals on some federal
loans this year than they did in 2012.
Undergraduates could borrow at rates as
low as 3.4 percent for subsidized
Stafford loans and 6.8 percent on
unsubsidized Stafford loans last year,
while graduate students and parents
borrowed at 7.9 percent last year.
Those 3.4 percent rates doubled on July
1 because Congress did not act.
Lawmakers from both parties said the rate
increase was unacceptable and worked on
various proposals to extend rates, over-
haul rates and even remake the entire pro-
gram before classes start this fall.
Both chambers would link the inter-
est rate to the 10-year Treasury note
plus an added percentage, based on the
type of loan. Each sets caps on how
high the loans can go.
But under the Senate bill, once a stu-
dent or parent takes a loan for the
school year the rate would not change.
The House bill would make the interest
rate variable, meaning it could change
every year until the loan is repaid.
Alook at what the House and Senate
bills would mean for students and their
parents:
UNDERGRADUATES: Senate:
Undergraduates who take subsidized
and unsubsidized Stafford loans would
pay the 10-year Treasury note, plus an
additional 2.05 percent. That would
put the interest rate at about 3.9 per-
cent this fall. Rates would be capped at
8.25 percent.
House: Under the House bill, under-
graduates who take subsidized and
unsubsidized Stafford loans would pay
the 10-year Treasury note, plus an
additional 2.5 percent. That would
translate to an interest rate of about
4.3 percent interest rates for loans
taken this fall. Rates would be capped
at 8.5 percent.
GRADUATE STUDENTS: Senate:
Graduate students would borrow at the
interest rate of the 10-year Treasury
notes plus an additional 3.6 percent.
That would bring 5.4 percent interest
rates for borrowers this fall. Rates
would be capped at 9.5 percent.
House: Graduate students and parents
would borrow at the 10-year Treasury
note plus an additional 4.5 percent.
Under this formula, graduate student
loans this fall would carry a 6.3 per-
cent interest rate. Rates would be
capped at 10.5 percent.
Differences small between student loan bills

CAIRO Escalating the con-
frontation after clashes that left
83 supporters of Egypts ousted
Islamist president dead, the inter-
im government moved Sunday
toward dismantling two pro-
Mohammed Morsi sit-in camps,
accusing protesters of terrorism
and vowing to deal with them deci-
sively.
Morsis Muslim Brotherhood
denounced Saturdays bloodshed as
evidence of the brutality of the
military-backed regime. But many
accused the groups leaders of try-
ing to capitalize on the loss of life
to win sympathy after millions
took to the streets in a show of
support for the military chief who
ousted Morsi in a coup.
Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi said
he would take the popular support
as a mandate to deal with violence
and potential terrorism a
thinly veiled reference to a widely
expected crackdown on Morsi sup-
porters in the sit-in camps in
Cairo and against radical Islamists
in the Sinai peninsula who have
been waging deadly attacks
against security forces since
Morsi was ousted in a July 3 mili-
tary coup.
The coup followed days of mass
protests by millions of Egyptians
demanding that Morsi step down
after a year in ofce as Egypts
rst elected president. The month-
long sit-ins have been the launch
pad of street protests that often
ended violently when Morsis sup-
porters clashed with opponents or
security forces.
Islamists led by the
Brotherhood staunchly reject the
new post-Morsi leadership and
insist the only possible solution
to the crisis is to reinstate him.
Meanwhile, the interim leadership
is pushing ahead with a fast-track
transition plan to return to a dem-
ocratically elected government by
early next year.
The Brotherhood, accused by
critics of trying to monopolize
power during Morsis year in
ofce, routinely claims its sup-
porters are killed in cold blood by
army troops, police or thugs
sponsored by the Interior
Ministry, which is in charge of
police. However, witnesses and
videos posted on social network-
ing sites show that Morsis sup-
porters consistently use rocks,
firebombs and firearms against
opponents, who behave similarly.

JERUSALEM The U.S. on
Sunday announced the resumption
of Israeli-Palestinian talks fol-
lowing years of stalemate, after
Israels Cabinet agreed to release
104 Palestinian prisoners con-
victed of deadly attacks.
The return to direct contacts
between the sides gave U.S.
Secretary of State John Kerry his
first concrete achievement after
months of shuttle diplomacy.
The U.S. said preliminary talks
would begin Monday, but it
remains unclear whether they will
lead to a formal resumption of
peace talks that broke down in
2008.
Despite a return to the table,
neither side appeared upbeat. Each
has blamed the other for the lack
of success in 20 years of negotia-
tions interrupted by bouts of vio-
lence.
Earlier Sunday, the Israeli
Cabinet voted 13-7, with two
abstentions, to approve in princi-
ple the release of 104 Palestinian
prisoners. The release is a key part
of the Kerry-brokered deal to
restart peace talks.
The State Department said Kerry
called Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu and
Palestinian President Mahmoud
Abbas after the Cabinet vote and
invited them to send teams to
Washington.
State Department spokeswoman
Jan Psaki said the teams would
meet Monday and Tuesday to
develop a procedural plan for how
the parties can proceed with the
negotiations in the coming
months.
Talks on a nal peace deal are to
last six to nine months.
Chief Palestinian negotiator
Saeb Erekat and Abbas aide
Mohammed Shtayyeh will repre-
sent the Palestinians, and Justice
Minister Tzipi Livni and adviser
Yitzhak Molcho will attend for
Israel.
Netanyahu, seeking to over-
come stiff opposition from ultra-
nationalists, told his Cabinet that
resuming the political process at
this time is important for Israel,
noting that any deal would be sub-
mitted to a national referendum.
Erekat welcomed the vote on the
prisoners as a step toward peace,
one he said is long overdue.
Negotiators made progress in
previous rounds, and the outlines
of a deal have emerged a
Palestinian state in most of the
West Bank, Gaza and east
Jerusalem, lands captured by Israel
in 1967, with border adjustments
to enable Israel to annex land with
a majority of nearly 600,000 set-
tlers.
Those negotiations broke down
before the sides could tackle the
most explosive issues, a partition
of Jerusalem and the fate of
Palestinian refugees and their
descendants, now several million
people.
Abbas remains leery of negoti-
ating with Netanyahu, fearing any
offer made by the hard-liner would
fall far short of Palestinian
demands, so he has insisted on a
clear framework for negotiations.
Israeli-Palestinian peace talks to resume, officials say

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia
Cambodias opposition appeared
to make impressive gains in
Sundays general election, though
the ruling party claimed a victory
that would extend the mandate of
longtime Prime Minister Hun Sen.
The results, if conrmed, lend sup-
port to opposition contentions
that the vote could usher in oppor-
tunities for greater democracy.
Khieu Kanharith, a spokesman
for the ruling Cambodian Peoples
Party, said on his Facebook page
that his party won 68 of the 123
National Assembly seats. He said
the opposition Cambodia
National Rescue Party won 55
seats gaining heavily on the 29
it held in the outgoing parliament.
The opposition party was
reserving its projections of the
size of its gains pending the
release of more gures. But even
the 55 seats conceded by the rul-
ing party represented a stunning
upsurge in fortune for the CNRP,
which had predicted extensive
vote-rigging.
Opposition leader Sam Rainsy
who returned to Cambodia this
month from years in self-imposed
exile said in a statement that it
was a historic day, but urged his
supporters to maintain calm and
wait for official results to be
released.
Provisional results from the of-
cial National Election Committee
were being announced Sunday
night on state television, but only
by individual polling stations,
making it impossible to get an
immediate overview of the count.
It was not clear when nal ofcial
tallies would be announced.
If the results stand, it would be a
huge boost for the much belea-
guered opposition, giving it a
strong platform for future growth.
However, a simple majority is suf-
cient for most legislative busi-
ness, ensuring that the CPP can
continue to administer the country
much as it wishes, though with
increased sensitivity for public
opinion.
Cambodian opposition makes gains in elections
OPINION 9
President Obama and the
Martin-Zimmerman trial
Editor,
How regrettable that President
Obama has fallen victim to his dis-
torted view of the Zimmerman/Martin
incident. Mr. Obama stated after the
trial that Trayvon could have been
me 35 years ago and that the
African-American community is
looking at this issue through a set of
experiences that doesnt go away.
What the president admits is that he
cannot distance himself from the past
and is prejudiced in the present. The
president neglects to mention that
neither the FBI, state prosecutors nor
local police found any racial animus
in the background of George
Zimmerman. In short, the record
shows no basis, in fact, that Mr.
Zimmerman was racially motivated
when confronting Mr. Martin.
Nonetheless, the president is deter-
mined to iname this incident and
turn it into something it isnt .
Frequent Daily Journal letter writer,
Michael Traynor, recently opined
about Mr. Obamas remarks and
asked, how do we make this all
work? in his letter President
Obama in the July 23 edition of the
Daily Journal. Arst step is this:
identity your prejudices and set them
aside or you risk living in a perpetual
loop of frustration and disappoint-
ment. Reliving past biases will place
oneself into an inevitable environ-
ment of a self-fullling prophecy.
Second, dont let yourself fall into
the group think trap which charac-
terizes the actions of individuals as
representative of a much larger group.
Be objective and avoid prejudice.
The jury listened to all the evidence
from both sides and rendered their
judgment. Too bad the president can-
not bring himself to really accept
their verdict. Perhaps, one day, Mr.
Obama can avoid what he laments,
painting with a broad brush.

F
oster City has completed and
approved its annual budget. It
was a detailed and diligent
process which was conducted to meet
a predetermined set of objectives. The
City Council set a goal to balance the
budget while maintaining the quality
of life our residents have come to
expect and deserve. The process took
more than six months with many
hours of review by both staff and the
council. In the end, we as a city were
able to achieve our goals. We bal-
anced the budget and were able to
maintain all levels of service and staff
levels that provide our residents with
a safe and sound community.
This result was only possible
because of the cooperation and dedica-
tion of our city staff, police and re
who provide the services that keep
our operations running and safeguard
our community and families. All
departments have continued to sharp-
en their pencils to surgically cut
excess expenditures from the budget.
In many cases they have forgone addi-
tional compensation and raises. They
have also assumed greater workloads
and responsibilities. They do so for
their appreciation for our residents
and our community. I am sure I speak
for many when I say thank you for
their sacrices and continued dedica-
tion. I hope we will be able to
address future budgets with this in
mind and build in nancial parameters
to better meet the value of their con-
tributions.
This past week, the council
reviewed past and new policy initia-
tives for the coming year. The policy
calendar creates items offered to the
public as action items during the year
at various council meetings. It is
important the public attend and offer
input on these
items. We serve and
represent you. We
have made tremen-
dous progress on
the current agenda.
While each poli-
cy matter is impor-
tant, there are some
which resonate
more deeply with me. The health and
safety of our children and families are
of the utmost concern for me as a pol-
icy maker. I have been and remain
committed to supporting legal protec-
tion for our families and the commu-
nity in regards to these types of
issues. In the coming months, the
council will be conducting a review of
several health and safety issues which
I feel are critical to our continued
enjoyment of the quality of life here
in the city.
It has been well-established that no
one individual may affect the health
of another indiscriminately. In the
case of secondhand smoke, many of
our surrounding communities have
taken aggressive steps to protect
their residents from the perils of car-
cinogenic by-products. Recently, our
city chose to take a less aggressive
approach and passed a non-smoking
resolution for public events only. The
question that remains is whether this
step has accomplished its intended
goal through less obtrusive means
and self-compliance.
Foster City is a unique community
made up of residents with family-cen-
tric values. As a result, our residents
usually comply with the parameters
set forth in city-wide resolutions
intended to enhance our quality of
life. However, some issues are of such
importance that a resolution cannot
adequately attain our community
goals.
The health and safety of our fami-
lies should not be trumped by the per-
sonal desire of any individual who
may choose to participate in any
activity with proven detrimental
health consequences for others. This
is not to say that individuals should
not be able to choose such activities,
but rather where and when they are
permitted can and may best be con-
trolled by ordinance.
Most recently, in New York City,
the mayor undertook a severe course
of action in an attempt to curb the
intake of sugary beverages. Astate
Supreme Court judge ruled the regula-
tory effort to be arbitrary and capri-
cious and most likely difcult, if not
impossible, to enforce. While his
intent was good, his approach was
overreaching and most likely not
effective even if implemented. While
the consumption of these sugary bev-
erages is not healthy, it is a personal
choice that can be better managed
through education and outreach.
Moreover, this choice is that of the
individual and does not cause detri-
ment to a casual bystander unlike the
proven effects of secondhand smoke
There is no doubt that the review of
this issue will yield passionate debate
from our community. There will be
questions as to what degree smoking
should be limited and in what areas or
locations. I look forward to hearing
your thoughts on this important issue
and where/how it ts within a
Sustainable Foster City.

Familiar
faces
T
his Novembers ballot will include some familiar
names. In addition to the incumbents running for re-
election, there will be at least two former coun-
cilmembers hoping to return to the dais.
Diane Howard, who served on the Redwood City Council
for the full term of 16 years
from 1994-2009, is mount-
ing a comeback campaign
for the seat Jeff Ira is vacat-
ing. In San Carlos, former
councilwoman Inge Tiegel
Doherty, who served from
2001-2007, hopes to return
to her former post.
Meanwhile, Tom Mohr, for-
mer president of Caada
College and superintendent
of the San Mateo Union
High School District, is
seeking a seat on the San
Mateo County Community
College District Board.
Theres nothing novel about elected ofcials moving from
one position to another or occasionally returning to a post
they once held. Since term limits, that has become the new
norm. That is not possible in the state Legislature. The term
limit ban is for life. But not in local government. Take the
case of Joe Simitian. He started out as a Palo Alto school
board member. Then he went on to the Palo Alto City
Council. From there it was the Santa Clara County Board of
Supervisors. He then served as a state Assemblyman and
state Senator. When he was recently termed out of the state
Senate, he decided to run for his old seat on the Board of
Supervisors. No surprise, as a popular familiar face (with
ample campaign funds), he was re-elected. In Mountain View
and Millbrae, where there are eight-year term limits, its not
unusual for a termed-out councilmember to run again in two
years.
***
Voters may say they hunger for new faces and a fresh
approach but they usually prefer the devil they know to
someone unknown. Warren Slocum, for many years San
Mateo countys elected chief elections ofcer and assessor-
county clerk-recorder, was able to win election to the Board
of Supervisors because of name recognition. Tom Mohr,
very popular in the communities he has served, also has a
leg up in his rst try for elected ofce. Congress has no term
limits and its rare an incumbent in our mostly gerryman-
dered party districts gets the heave-ho. It did happen to
longtime 40 years East Bay Congressman Pete Stark
who, constituents felt, had stayed too long and was becom-
ing ineffective. Ayoung challenger, Eric Swalwell, won the
seat. One of the most watched elections this fall will be in
the South Bay where newcomer Ro Khanna hopes to do the
same to longtime San Jose Congressman Mike Honda.
***
Some time has passed since both Howard and Doherty
served on their respective councils. They are competing
against incumbents plus some new faces. So it may not be a
slam dunk. Howard will be facing, among others, Ernie
Schmidt, who is on the Redwood City Planning
Commission and had an unsuccessful bid for the Board of
Supervisors. Two incumbents are also running. Doherty will
be facing Karen Clapper, who was recently appointed to the
San Carlos City Council to ll the seat of Andy Klein; new-
comer Cameron Johnson; and incumbents Robert Grassilli
and Matt Grocott. These San Carlos candidates have all
pulled papers to run. Others have announced they might run.
In Burlingame, there will denitely be a new councilmem-
ber as 12-year veteran Cathy Baylock steps down. No term
limits in Burlingame. In Belmont, Coralin Feierbach is also
giving up her seat. No term limits there either. So along
with some familiar names, the November ballot will include
some new faces and more options.
***
In Congress, however, we have not beneted from the
most recent new crop the Republican tea party members.
Many of them never held elected ofce before and most all
of them have a dim view of government. They dont believe
in compromise even with more moderate members of their
own party. They have little in common with the New
Englanders who made up the original tea party. The latter
went on to become abolitionists, the enemies of slavery.
These new tea party folks are primarily white male southern-
ers. They have little in common with southerners Thomas
Jefferson, Robert E. Lee, George Marshall, William Byrd or
Sam Nunn. Instead, they resemble Faulkners ctional Flem
Snopes and his itinerant farmer clan, some of whom worked
their way to the top, became mayors, senators and gover-
nors. Flem Snopes never would have voted for food stamps.
Acotton subsidy, yes. Just like U.S. Rep. Stephen Fincher
of Tennessee who voted against food stamps for the poor
but over the years his farm has received $3.5 million in fed-
eral agricultural subsidies much of it for cotton.

NEWYORK Just over half of the com-
panies in the Standard & Poors 500 index
have reported earnings for the second quarter,
and some are faring better than others. Here
are some of the things weve learned so far.
Banks and other nancial companies have
been the standouts. The materials sector,
which includes miners and chemical compa-
nies, have fared the worst. Earnings are also
contracting in the technology industry.
Some older tech companies are reporting
lower prots as they struggle to adapt while
consumers embrace smartphones and other
mobile devices.
Overall, earnings growth is projected to
slow for a third straight quarter. Analysts
forecast that companies in the S&P500 will
report earnings growth of 4.5 percent for the
April-to-June period, according to S&P
Capital IQ. Thats a drop from 5.2 percent in
the rst three months of the year.
Its not all bad news.
Earnings at U.S. companies are expected
to grow faster in the second half of the year
as the economy strengthens. Rising con-
sumer confidence, boosted by climbing
home prices and an improving job market,
should combine to drive the economy to
stronger growth, helping companies earn
more. The economy should also benet after
the impact starts to fade from government
spending cuts and higher social security
taxes put in place at the beginning of the
year.
By the fourth quarter of this year, company
prots are expected to leap 11.2 percent from
the same period a year earlier. That would be
the fastest pace since the third quarter of
2011. For now, investors have to be con-
tent with modest growth.
U.S. banks reported surging profits after
setting aside less money for bad loans.
Major banks including Citigroup and
JPMorgan Chase also profited from a
boom in investment banking, as recover-
ing financial markets resulted in big
increases in fees for underwriting stock
and bond offerings. Rising interest rates
also helped banks earn more from lending
money.
The outlook for banks isnt as encourag-
ing, however. There are signs that the
boom in mortgage refinancing is starting
to peter out. On the positive side, there
werent any nasty surprises of the kind
banks have regularly handed investors in
the years following the financial crisis.
There was no mention of massive trading
losses like JPMorgans $6 billion
London whale debacle last year, or set-
tlements for mortgage-related lawsuits.
Banks are forecast to post earnings
growth of 24 percent in the second quarter,
the best of any industry group in the S&P
500. Of the 39 financial companies that
have posted earnings, 74 percent have
beaten analysts expectations for earn-
ings. Thats better than the 66 percent
average for S&P 500 companies overall. In
fact, if you strip out banks, overall earn-
ings are forecast to rise only 0.5 percent,
according to S&P Capital IQ.
I suspect that over the next few quarters,
to the extent that interest rates continue to
rise, you may well continue to see finan-
cials outperform the broader market, said
Joseph Tanious, a global market strategist
at JPMorgan Funds.
The earnings have helped financial com-
panies post the second-best returns in the
S&P 500 this month. Theyre up 6.1 per-
cent in July, compared with a 5.3 percent
gain for the broader index. Financial
stocks have gained 25.7 percent this year.
Technology companies were meant be
among the biggest beneficiaries of an
improving economy. It hasnt played out
that way. Some of the biggest names in the
sector are struggling to adapt to new tech-
nologies and how consumers use them.
Microsoft fell 11.4 percent July 19, the
most in more than four years, after the com-
pany wrote off nearly $1 billion from its new
Surface tablet business and said that a poor
reception for its Windows 8 operating sys-
tem crimped revenue.
Intel, which is wedded to the PC market
even as consumers switch to mobile devices,
slumped after the company predicted at
sales.
Even Google faltered. Its results suggest
that the company is having trouble navigat-
ing the transition from traditional desktop
and laptop computers to smartphones and
tablets.
Earnings are expected to contract 5 percent
for tech companies in the second quarter.
Technology companies are where weve
seen some of the biggest disappointments in
terms of earnings, said Kate Warne, an
investment strategist at Edward Jones. The
older technology companies have been a bit
slow to move to newer areas.
The slump in Europe may not be over, but
there are some signs of hope, judging from
comments made by executives at industrial
companies.
Thats good because many U.S. companies
rely heavily on sales to Europe. Deutsche
Banks chief U.S. equity strategist, David
Bianco, estimates that 17 percent of the
prots at S&P500 companies come from the
region.
Bank profits up in second quarter; tech lags

SACRAMENTO Theres no
such thing as normal weather in
California wine country, and vine-
yard operators say this year that
truism could mean good news for
wine lovers.
After cool temperatures slowed
ripening and kept grapes on the
vine until fall in recent years,
growers in the nations premier
wine region are facing a heat wave
that has made for one of the earli-
est harvests in recent memory.
It has been a challenging
year, said Michael Silacci, wine-
maker at Opus One in Napa Valley.
But its shaping up to be an
excellent year.
Weather hasnt been this warm
across the region since 1997, a
year that produced a highly
regarded vintage. If the heat
continues as expected it could
mean fruit-intensive wines
from an early and abun-
dant crop.
Were a full
month ahead of
2009, 10 and
11, said Jon
Ruel, COO at
Trefenthen Vineyards and presi-
dent of the Napa Valley
Grapegrowers.
Dealing with changing weather
patterns is part of the art of grow-
ing wine grapes, a long dance
with the elements to achieve a
precise combination of sugar
levels and acidity expected
from one of Californias top
commodities, a crop
worth $3.2 billion
on the vine last year,
which created more
than $34 billion
worth of wine.
To bring in that
harvest, growers are accustomed
to being exible. Theres no such
thing as a normal year, Ruel said.
And this isnt a normal year.
Growers can remove leaves to
let more sunshine hit fruit. They
can drop clusters to improve a-
vors and quicken ripening in cool
years. And they constantly moni-
tor forecasts to know when an
early shot of water will help.
For this vintage, vineyard oper-
ators started picking grapes used
to make sparkling wines this
month, a move that came toward
the end of August last year. And
theyre watching cabernet, merlot
and pinot noir grapes, which are
already in veraison, turning red
and starting to ripen.
Everything is moving at a
faster pace, said Silacci, of Opus
One, the cellar founded in 1979 by
the Rothschilds of France and
Robert Mondavi as one of the rst
for ultra-premium wine in the U.S.
Weather changes are a major fac-
tor that makes vintages distinc-
tive. In the case of Opus One, the
cool 2011 season produced a
Bordeaux blend with herbal and
fresh fruit notes. The weather was
warmer in 2007, producing wines
with the avor of ripe fruit.
Warm weather means early wine grape harvest

The Belmont-Redwood Shores
11-12 Majors All-Stars have done
it.
They have made history.
With their backs against the
wall for the rst time all summer,
BRS laid claim to the title of Best
San Mateo County Little League
Ever by doing what no District
52 team has ever done
Belmont-Redwood Shores is on
their way to the Little League
baseball regional nals after cap-
turing the Northern California
championship 9-0 on Sunday.
Having to beat Santa Cruz twice
over the weekend to secure a spot
in San Bernadino, Belmont-
Redwood Shores pitching
absolutely dominated the only
team that has beaten them in post-
season this summer
Last week, it took a tremendous
pitching performance by Santa
Cruz to shutout a team in BRS that
came in averaging nearly 12 runs a
game during the All-Star season.
But on Saturday, Nicolas Lopez
was unhittable literally. The
left-hander whirled a no-hitter
against San Cruz and struck out 12
in the process.
And on Sunday, behind another
masterful and legendary perform-
ance by Sean Lee, Belmont-
Redwood Shores completed their
championship bid.
While it wasnt a no-no, the
term lights out actually doesnt
do Lee justice. The young ace was
in a completely different zone,
atmosphere, galaxy, you name it.
Lee allowed just one hit over six
innings of work and struck out 15
of the 18 Santa Cruz batters en
route to a 9-0 shutout.
This is the rst championship
of its kind for Belmont in 72
years.

OAKLAND Yoenis Cespedes
drove in four runs on his most pro-
ductive day since winning the
Home Run Derby, and the Oakland
Athletics rallied from five runs
down to beat the Los Angeles
Angels 10-6 on Sunday.
Cespedes snapped an 0-for-13
funk with a two-run double in the
third inning, added an RBI single
in the fth and then doubled in
Josh Donaldson as part of a ve-
run sixth.
Eric Sogard added three hits and
two RBIs, and Brandon Moss also
drove in a pair of runs for Oakland.
The As (62-43) moved a season-
high 19 games over .500 and
extended their lead to six games
over Texas in the AL West.
Erick Aybar doubled and tripled
for the Angels, who placed Albert
Pujols on the disabled list before
the game with a tear in his left foot
that could end his season.
The As took two of the rst
three games in this series primari-
ly on the strength of their starting
pitching. They got a big boost
from their offense in the nale and
a little help from the Angels
defense along the way.
Cespedes provided the biggest
lift with his third three-hit game of
the season. The Cuban slugger
struck out looking in his rst at-
bat before his double in the third
helped jump-start Oaklands come-
back from a 5-0 decit.
He later hit a towering popup in
the fth that landed for an RBI sin-

SAN FRANCISCO Travis
Wood did more than just pitch his
way out of trouble.
He also hit his way to victory.
Wood pitched a four-hitter over
seven innings and had a home run
among his two hits in helping the
Chicago Cubs complete a three-
game sweep in San Francisco for
the rst time in 20 years, beating
the Giants 2-1 Sunday.
He threw one in there and I was
able to put a good swing on it and
hit it out of the park, Wood said.
Im always surprised. Im not try-
ing to hit home runs.
Welington Castillo also home-
red for the Cubs, who won their
third straight and ve of seven
despite playing without Alfonso
Soriano, who was traded to the
New York Yankees on Friday.

CHICAGO It took Brek Shea
less than a minute to give the
United States a goal.
And the Gold Cup title.
Shea scored 42 seconds after
coming into the game as a substi-
tute, and his goal in the 69th
minute gave the United States a 1-
0 victory over Panama in the CON-
CACAF Gold Cup nal. It is the
fth Gold Cup title for the U.S.,
but its rst since 2007. The victo-
ry also extended the Americans
winning streak to a record 11
games, four more than their previ-
ous best.
When the nal whistle sounded,
the Americans on the bench raced
onto the eld to join their team-
mates. Several players jumped up
and down, and hugs and high-ves
were exchanged. Coach Jurgen
Klinsmann, who watched the game
from a luxury box after being sus-
pended for his tirade over the of-
ciating in the seminal, quickly
made his way down to the eld,
pumping his sts in the air as he
walked.
The Panamians, meanwhile,
could only watch in disappoint-
ment. They came into the game
full of confidence after beating
Mexico twice during the tourna-
ment, but never really threatened
the United States.
The only downer on the day for
the Americans was another injury
to Stuart Holdens right knee. He
collapsed to the ground after col-
liding with another player in the
rst half and grabbed at his right
knee. He was able to walk off the

Leading local news coverage on the Peninsula
eld on his own, but U.S. Soccer later said
he had sprained the knee and it would need
further evaluation.
Holden missed almost 2 1/2 years
because of injuries to his right knee, only
returning to the U.S. squad in late May.
The U.S. had been the class of the Gold
Cup, outscoring opponents 20-4 in the
tournament. Klinsmann used a mostly
young team, and its condence appeared to
grow with every victory.
Though Klinsmann and his players had
insisted his one-game suspension wouldnt
change anything Were going to use it a
little bit as a rallying cry, Landon
Donovan said Saturday. We want to win the
trophy for him. they lacked their usual
sharpness early on. Donovan and Eddie
Johnson both struggled to get free, covered
closely by Panamas dogged defense.
But they found their rhythm in the second
half, creating several chances. The best
came in the 56th minute, DaMarcus Beasley
chipped a ball into Donovan, who was in
front of the goal at the near post. Donovan
got his head on the ball, but not at the angle
he wanted and it ew wide of the net. As the
crowd groaned, Donovan threw back his
head and Beasley swatted the red ag in the
corner.
The Americans were still scratching to
create something anything when Shea
replaced Joe Corona in the 68th minute. He
didnt waste any time making his presence
felt as the Americans pushed forward again.
Alejandro Bedoya fed Donovan, but he
muffed the shot. The ball continued to roll
past Panamas Roberto Chen and on toward
the net. Parked inches from the goal line,
Shea stuck out his left foot and tapped the
ball past goalkeeper Jaime Penedo for his
second international goal.
The Americans had a chance to double the
lead in the 84th minute when Shea fed a
wide-open Eddie Johnson 2 yards from the
goal. But Johnson couldnt nish it, send-
ing the ball ying over the cross bar.
CUP
said. He was the leader of this team, hes
been here the longest and he was swinging a
hot bat. Guys just have to step up and l l
in.
The Cubs clubhouse broke into sponta-
neous cheering when Soriano homered for
the Yankees and later learned of his game-
winning hit.
Hes our boy, Castillo said. He just
needs to keep doing what hes been doing.
For one series, at least, the Cubs found a
way to win without their popular ex-team-
mate.
Pablo Sandoval drove in a run for the
Giants, who have lost four straight and
seven of eight.
Tim Lincecum (5-11) had two hits in addi-
tion to pitching seven innings. He gave up
two runs and four hits. He walked two and
struck out a season-high 10.
Tim did a great job, Giants manager
Bruce Bochy said. Not only did he pitch
well, he got a couple of hits there. Its a
shame he couldnt get him the win.
In all my years Ive never seen a team go
through such a hard time getting runs in like
were having right now. Its a shame because
were getting such great pitching.
Wood (7-7) allowed an unearned run while
walking four and striking out seven. Wood
was 1-4 over his previous nine games. Hes
been involved in 10 one-run decisions.
Early on it was kind of a grind but it was
that way for both of us, Wood said. I was
able to settle down quite nicely.
Pedro Strop threw a scoreless eighth, his
12th consecutive scoreless outing (10 2-3
innings) since joining the Cubs on July 2.
Kevin Gregg recorded the nal three outs
for his 22nd save in 25 chances, and his
third straight of the series.
Wood ended the scoreless tie with his third
home run, a solo shot with two outs and on
a 2-2 count, in the fth. It was the rst career
home run Lincecum has allowed to an
opposing pitcher.
Lincecum survived a shaky start to retire
13 of 14 batters until Wood took him deep.
It was just a couple of location mis-
takes, Lincecum said. Except for the two
home runs everything seemed to come out of
my hand better.
The Giants left the bases loaded in the
third and had the bases loaded with no outs
in the fth. Buster Poseys grounder to Luis
Valbuena turned into a 5-2 double play
before Sandoval doubled to tie the game.
Thank goodness we got another weird
grounder to third we could turn into a double
play, Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. You
dont see a force and tag like that too often.
Castillo hit his third home run with two
outs in the seventh, giving the Cubs a 2-1
advantage.
He was behind in the count and I was
looking for a fastball, Castillo said. He
gave it to me.
The Giants, who have committed a major
league-leading 76 errors, took elding prac-
tice instead of batting practice before the
game.
NOTES: The Giants activated RHP
Guillermo Moscosco, whom they acquired
in a trade from the Chicago Cubs last week.
RHP Yusmeiro Petit was designated for
assignment to make room for Moscosco.
GIANTS
gle when Angels center elder Mike Trout
lost it in the sun. The ball fell between Trout
and right elder Kole Calhoun as Moss
scored from rst with the tying run. Trout
had more elding problems in the sixth after
the Angels went up 6-5 on Aybars double.
Stephen Vogt hit a sinking y to center
that bounced in front of Trout just as he
nearly collided with Josh Hamilton racing
over from left eld. The ball landed in front
of the two outelders and rolled to the warn-
ing track as both players fell to the turf.
Seth Smith scored on the play to tie it 6-all.
Sogard followed with a single off reliever
J.C. Gutierrez (0-2) to drive in Vogt with the
go-ahead run, then scored on Jed Lowries
RBI double to give the As an 8-6 lead. Moss
and Cespedes also had RBIs in the inning.
Jesse Chavez (2-2) pitched two innings
for the win.

INDIANAPOLIS A born and
bred Hoosier, Ryan Newman spent
his childhood racing everywhere
from Anderson to Winchester and
every short track he could nd in a
state mad about racing.
He graduated from Purdue and
landed a summer job working in
Jeff Gordons old race shop in
Pittsboro. One of the perks? He
got to live in the shop and sleep
alongside the cars.
And like many Indiana kids, he
revered Indianapolis Motor
Speedway, the track he rst visited
in 1986 and later accidentally
stumbled upon NASCARs inaugu-
ral 1992 test while out buying
tires with his mother.
A win at the famed Brickyard?
That would be a dream come true
for the South Bend native.
Newman made the boyhood
dream a cool
reality, taking
the checkered
flag Sunday to
end a 49-race
winless streak
in front of his
home state
fans. His par-
ents, who
fueled his love
of racing and took him to the 500
as a kid, joined him for his
biggest win in Indiana.
Newman was as cool and collect-
ed in Victory Lane as he was on the
track when he held off Jimmie
Johnson. There were no tears, no
quiver in his voice and no need to
collect himself as Newman was
strangely stoic.
I dont show a lot of emotion, I
think everybody knows that,
said Newman, who likened the vic-
tory to his 2008 win at the
Daytona 500. I had the same
emotion, the same thankfulness I
did when I won the Daytona 500
because I feel everybody that has
been a part of my racing career
from people that bought my rac-
ing uniform, bought me a right
rear tire, given us a credit card to
get to some race track at some
point in my career those are the
people that helped me get to where
I am today.
To me, its awesome to be here
at Indy. Its awesome because its
my home state. Ive raced go karts
at pretty much every go kart track
around here, been kicked out of
half of them. Those are the things
that make it special. I think about
those things more than I carry the
emotion on my cheeks.
So the emotion was seen in
father Greg, who spotted for
Newman on Sunday, and his moth-
er, Diane.
Newman kept it together during
his celebratory burnout and the
drive to Victory Lane, a hallowed
area that he twice had to ask his
crew over the radio for directions
how to get there. He took the cus-
tomary ride in a convertible
around the track with his wife and
two young daughters, and happily
bowed again and again to kiss the
Yard of Bricks.
Sure, he smiled, and shared some
tender hugs with one of his daugh-
ters. But that was the most anyone
was getting out of Newman, who
had admitted to getting emotional
after winning the pole on Saturday
but seemed almost numb follow-
ing Sundays win.
Im not sure (how I feel) at this
point. I know its an amazing feel-
ing, he said. I was more emo-
tional yesterday after winning the
pole than I was two laps after
doing my donuts and everything
else today. Im not sure why. I
took an emotional hit yesterday.
Just an awesome day.
Newman beat Johnson twice on
this Brickyard weekend, rst when
he set a NASCAR track record in
knocking Johnson off the pole in
qualifying, then Sunday with a fast
nal pit stop to snatch the win
from the four-time Indianapolis
winner.
The two were the class of the
eld they combined to lead 118
of the 160 laps but it was
Johnson who dominated the race
and appeared to be just a bit bet-
ter.
But Johnson pitted from the lead
with 27 laps remaining and it was
a slow nal stop for the Hendrick
Motorsports crew.
Newman pitted after that and
took only two tires to move into
the lead after the green-ag stops
cycled through the eld. The clos-
est Johnson would get to him
again was when he paid a congrat-
ulatory visit to Newman in
Victory Lane.
Ryan Newman wins Brickyard 400 at Indy
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. The rain, the
gloom, the small gathering of fans didnt
matter.
For the families of baseball pioneers
Jacob Ruppert Jr., Hank ODay and James
Deacon White this was what they had
long been waiting for.
All three have been dead for more than
seven decades. Now their legacies were
secure with their induction Sunday into the
National Baseball Hall of Fame and
Museum.
This is a day we will all remember for the
rest of our lives, said Jerry Watkins, great
grandson of White and one of nearly 50
family members in attendance. In my
mind, the only way it could have been bet-
ter is if my dad were here to see it. My dad
loved his grandfather, he loved baseball,
and he loved the Chicago Cubs. It was his
lifelong dream to see his grandfather
enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame, and
it was his lifelong dream to see the Cubs
play in the World Series. Dad, today you got
one of them.
White, a barehanded catcher who grew up
in Caton, N.Y., near Corning, was one of
major league baseballs earliest stars. In
fact, he was the rst batter in the rst pro-
fessional game on May 4, 1871, and laced a
double. An outstanding hitter, White was
regarded as the best catcher in baseball
before switching to third base later in his
nearly 20-year career.
Adeeply religious man, White was nick-
named Deacon and dubbed the most
admirable superstar of the 1870s by Bill
James in his Historical Baseball Extract.
White played for six teams and had a .312
career average. He nished with 2,067 hits,
270 doubles, 98 triples, 24 home runs and
988 RBIs before retiring in 1890.
In my heart, I never believed this day
would come, Watkins said. If my grandfa-
ther were alive today, he would say thank
you to the Hall of Fame for this great honor,
and he would say thank you to each of you
for being here. So, on his behalf I say
thank you.
Ruppert was born in Manhattan in 1867
and instead of college went to work for his
father in the family brewing business.

BRS manager Rudy Lopez, who has won
every conceivable title with this Belmont-
Redwood Shores team including three
division titles but always had a long
term vision with this special group of boys.
On Sunday, that goal came to fruition.
Noah Marcelo and Luke Bugbee were
responsible for BRS scoring in Game 1
Marcelo stole three bases in the rst and
Bugbee drove another run in with a single.
On Sunday, the Belmont-Redwood Shores
offense exploded.
Brad Shimabuku smoked a line drive to
left eld for an RBI that brought in Marcelo
in the rst inning.
Then in the third, Shimabuku jump-started
the offense with a single to left that
Dominic Susa followed with a knock of his
own.
Zach Wong came up and cashed in the two
ducks on the pond with a double to center-
eld that made it 3-0.
Marcelo brought in run No. 4 with a bases
loaded walk.
Meanwhile, Lee was in domination mode.
The lone hit for Santa Cruz came in the
fourth with two outs. From there, Lee just
mowed the opposition down.
In the fth, it was Shimabuku again start-
ing things off with a single. Lee helped his
own cause with a double and now it was 5-0.
BRS put the game way out of reach in the
fth.
Marcelo led off with a single and Nicolas
Lopez followed with a two run bomb to
make it 7-0.
Not too long after that, Shimabuku col-
lected another hit, this one of the four-bag,
back to back, variety to bring the scoring
to 8-0.
Taylor Douglis brought in the last run of
the game with a hit to right eld.
The game ended emphatically with Lee
striking out four batters yes, four in
the sixth.
BRS advances to compete in the Western
Region Tournament starting Friday at 4
p.m. and the winning team will advance to
play in the Little League World Series.

Sports brief
Holden leaves Gold
Cup nal with knee injury
CHICAGO Stuart Holdens run of bad
luck continues.
The U.S. midfielder sprained his right
knee early in the CONCACAF Gold Cup
final against Panama on Sunday, and it
appears to be another very serious injury,
coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. Holden was
out of the game for more than two years after
previous injuries to his right knee.
We are very, very concerned about
Stueys situation, Klinsmann said after the
1-0 U.S. victory. Im not a doctor ... but
Stuarts a player that when something hap-
pens, he knows. Its not looking good right
now.
Holden took a knock on his left knee
about 20 minutes into the rst half, but he
grabbed his right knee after he hit the
ground. Trainers worked with him briey on
the eld before he got off and walked to the
sideline, where they continued to work on
him. As Holden sat on the bench, his head
buried in his hands, teammates patted him
on the head and shoulders trying to console
him.
He walked to the locker room a short time
later, and was limping visibly when he
rejoined his teammates for the victory cere-
mony.

Have you ever
attended a funeral
or memorial service
and felt ill-at-ease,
uncomfortable or
awkward when
talking to the family
of the deceased? Have you ever stumbled
through your words and condolences
because you just didnt know what to say or
how to say it? Have you even decided to not
approach the family for fear of saying the
wrong thing or making a fool of yourself? If
so you are not alone. Many people in this
situation want to provide some kind of
comfort to the immediate family, but just
dont have the verbal tools to do so in an
assuring manner.
Learning Funeral Etiquette can be
useful. Using the right words at the right
time is an appropriate way to show that you
care, and in situations like this can be of
great help when provided correctly.
Standard condolences such as I am sorry
for your loss have become routine and
generic. A personalized phrase can be
welcomed such as John touched many
lives or I will miss John. DO NOT ask
the cause of death, offer advice or make
comments that would diminish the
importance of the loss such as Oh, youre
young and can marry again.
Other ways to demonstrate your support
include: 1. Listening. The family may feel
the need to express their anxiety, and giving
them that opportunity can be therapeutic; 2.
An embrace. This can show that you care
without the need for words; 3. Offering your
services. This shows the family that you are
willing to give extra time for them: Please
let me know if there is anything I can do to
help (be prepared to act if needed).
Even if you dont feel confident in
approaching the family there are other ways
to show that you care: 1. Attending the
funeral and signing the Memorial Book will
show the family that you took the time to be
there in support; 2. Dressing appropriately
for the funeral will demonstrate your efforts
to prepare for this special occasion (dark
colors are no longer a requisite for funerals,
but dressing in a coat, tie, dress or other
attire that youd wear to any special event
are considered a way of showing you care);
3. In certain cases friends are invited to
stand up and offer BRIEF personal feelings.
Prior to the funeral write a few key notes
and reflections which will help you organize
your thoughts. Even if there is no
opportunity to speak before a group you
may have a chance to offer your thoughts to
the family following the ceremony; 4. A
personalized card or note will help you
arrange your words better and can be kept
by the family. If you dont have their
mailing address you can send your envelope
to the funeral home and they will forward it
to the next of kin; 5. Providing flowers is a
long time tradition, or making a charitable
donation in the deceaseds memory will give
the family a strong sense of your regards; 6.
If appropriate a brief phone call can show
your immediate concern, but generally this
should be avoided to give the family the
privacy they may need.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

By Josh Dubow
NAPA Darren McFadden
hopes that going downhill will be
just the tonic to revive his career
with the Oakland Raiders.
Back in a familiar offense that
suits his running style perfectly,
McFadden is looking to bounce
back from a disastrous 2012 cam-
paign and return to the big-play
back he was for the two years Hue
Jackson ran the Raiders offense.
Oakland switched schemes after
Jackson was red as coach follow-
ing the 2011 season, returning to
the same zone blocking system
under coordinator Greg Knapp that
McFadden struggled with early in
his career. Those struggles returned
and McFadden had one of the worst
years ever for a Raiders back.
With new coordinator Greg
Olsen bringing back a power run-
ning system,
the Raiders are
hoping to see
the old
McFadden, who
was one of the
leagues top
backs the previ-
ous two years.
It feels
g r e a t ,
McFadden said
of the new offense. I feel like Im
a downhill runner and its some-
thing that coaches see also. By us
getting into a gap scheme offense,
being able to get downhill, they
feel like that suits me a lot more.
Im looking forward, O-line is
doing a great job, getting in there
on a double-team and opening
holes up.
The Raiders practiced in pads for
the rst time in training camp on
Sunday, giving the rst real test of
whether the running game has
improved after dragging down the
offense during a 4-12 season last
year that cost Knapp his job.
The biggest problem was
McFaddens struggles in the zone
running scheme that does not t
his style of play. After averaging
more than 5 yards per carry in each
of his two seasons in Jacksons
offense, McFadden averaged just
3.3 last season the lowest ever
for a Raiders back with at least 150
carries in a season.
Last year is last year,
McFadden said. We put that
behind us. We have a lot of new
faces here, a new offensive
scheme, and there are a lot of new
things going on. Were not going
to concern ourselves with what
went on last year. Well look for-
ward to this year.
McFadden is much more com-
fortable in a power system where
he is asked to run straight ahead
rather than the zone system where
he often was called on to run later-
ally and wait for a hole before cut-
ting up eld.
When McFadden ran in a similar
offense in 2010 and 11, he was
one of the games best big-play
backs, gaining at least 20 yards on
one of every 15 runs. He led the
NFL in yards rushing before a sea-
son-ending foot injury midway
through the 2011 season and had
become one of the games most
dangerous backs.
That all changed last year when
he had only four long runs in 216
carries.
We know how damaging it can
be for another team with all those
big plays that he can make, left
tackle Jared Veldheer said. Even
just grinding out those 5-yard car-
ries, hes a very good back and you
know were happy to be in a kind
of double team the guys back, let
them move the line, and let him do
his thing type of system.
This season could be the last
chance for the Raiders to see that
kind of play from McFadden,
whose tenure in Oakland has been
hampered by various injuries that
have sidelined him for 23 games
over ve seasons. His contract he
signed after being drafted fourth
overall in 2008 expires at the end
of the season, leaving his future
with Oakland up in the air.
McFadden said he is not focused
on his future right now and is just
happy to be back in a system he
likes. That increased comfort level
is obvious to those around him.
Darren has always been a guy
who has come to work every day
and no matter what the circum-
stances are hes going to continue
to go out there and compete,
coach Dennis Allen said.
McFadden looks forward to return to old system

Yasiel Puig homers in 11th,
Dodgers beat Reds 1-0
LOS ANGELES Yasiel Puig
homered with two outs in the 11t h
inning to give the Los Angeles
Dodgers a 1-0 victory over the
Cincinnati Reds on Sunday.
Cincinnati pitchers set a fran-
chise record with 20 strikeouts.
Puig, Adrian Gonzalez, Hanley
Ramirez and Tim Federowicz each
fanned three times as the Dodgers
established their highest single-
game total for strikeouts since
the franchise moved from
Brooklyn to Los Angeles follow-
ing the 1957 season.
Puig drove an 0-1 pitch deep
into the left-field pavilion
against rookie Curtis Partch (0-1)
for his 10th homer and 23rd RBI
in 48 big league games. The
excitable rookie circled the bases
and slid into home plate, where
teammates were waiting for him.
The NL West leaders won for the
26th time in 32 games and
extended their lead to 2 1/2 games
over the Arizona Diamondbacks,
who lost 1-0 to San Diego.
Brandon League (6-3) pitched
two hitless innings for the win.
Puigs first game-ending homer
in the major leagues came after
the Dodgers were held to one hit
by Tony Cingrani through the
first seven innings.
Cingrani, facing a lineup miss-
ing leadoff hitter Carl Crawford
for the second straight day
because of a high temperature,
tied a career high with 11 strike-
outs in his 12th big league start
before he was lifted for a pinch-
hitter.
The only hit against the 24-
year-old left-hander was a two-out
single through the box in the
third inning by Dodgers pitcher
Chris Capuano his first hit of
the season. Mark Ellis followed
with a towering drive toward the
left-field corner that Chris Heisey
caught right in front of the short
fence.
Sports brief
By Paul Newberry
BARCELONA, Spain Wi t h
Michael Phelps cheering from the
stands and a big assist from a
teammate, Missy Franklin got off
to a thrilling start in her own quest
to win eight gold medals at the
world championships.
Too bad the U.S. men didnt
have Phelps for their relay.
Megan Romano turned in a bril-
liant anchor leg to ensure Franklin
of a gold in the womens 400-
meter freestyle relay Sunday
evening, chas-
ing down the
Australians in
the last, furious
strokes.
Coming off a
starring role at
the London
O l y m p i c s ,
Franklin is
now one-for-
one in Barcelona.
Seven more to go.
Oh, my gosh, it was amazing!
said Franklin, who clutched hands
with teammate Natalie Coughlin
at the edge of the pool as they
cheered on Romano. We knew
Megan could do it.
Overall, it was good start for the
American team on the rst night
of pool swimming at the arena
atop Montjuic. Katie Ledecky,
still only 16 and preparing to start
her junior year of high school,
nearly broke the world record
while winning the womens 400
free. Connor Jaeger pulled out a
bronze in the mens 400 free,
which was won in dominating
fashion by Chinas Sun Yang.
It looked as though the nal race
of the night would produce anoth-
er red, white and blue celebration.
Turns out it did but it was Le
Tricolore that waved throughout
the Palau Sant Jordi when the
French rallied to snatch the gold
away from the Americans in the
mens 400 free relay.
In a repeat of their stirring
comeback at last summers
Olympics, Jeremy Stravius chased
down Jimmy Feigen to set off a
wild celebration among the huge
French contingent in the stands.
I actually didnt even see them
until the last ve meters, Feigen
said. Maybe I should have paid
more attention to them.
Maybe the result would have
been different if Phelps had not
retired after London. He is in
Barcelona to make some promo-
tional appearances and attend the
evening nals, but only as a fan.
The swimming world is abuzz with
speculation that hes planning a

L
ast week, we lost a Great Horned
owl, most likely due to starvation
and dehydration. As many of you
know, Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA
cares for sick, injured and orphaned wildlife
from San Francisco through northern Santa
Clara County; this is in addition to the
work and services we offer for dogs, cats and
other domestic animals. In the course of a
year, we receive thousands of wildlife need-
ing our expert care and save a remarkable
number of them. Not this time. The owl
ingested a rat stuck to a glue trap. People
use glue traps (also called sticky traps) to
trap rodents. They lead to an awful death
from starvation and some animals will even
gnaw at their own limbs to get free. They
also target non-intended species like birds,
looking to eat the trapped animals, even
dogs and cats. The owl, which ingested the
trapped rat, arrived in our care with glue on
its beak and couldnt open it. Quite possi-
bly, the owl ingested some of the glue
along with the rat, which caused gastro-
intestinal blocking. When we euthanized
the owl to relieve the suffering, all signs
showed a complete shutdown in the gastro-
intestinal tract. Truly, a horrible way to die.
The amount of emaciation and dehydration
indicated that it had been glued shut for a
long time. Im telling this story with hopes
that residents will consider alternatives to
glue traps. While they are not pretty, snap
traps are far more humane, since death is
usually instantaneous, but they must be
placed carefully so pets and children arent
injured. There are also humane traps; once
trapped, the rodent can simply be released.
Please also consider getting to the root of
the issue. Our wildlife experts can help you
understand why you may be seeing rodents
and suggest measures to make your home
and yard less attractive. Please call

LOS ANGELES The
Wolverine slashed monsters and
minions to debut atop the weekend
box ofce.
The Fox film featuring Hugh
Jackmans sixth turn as the claw-
wielding superhero opened with
$55 million in North America,
according to studio estimates
Sunday.
Last weekends top movie,
Warner Bros. low-budget horror
The Conjuring, slipped to sec-
ond place, adding another $22.1
million to its take.
Despicable Me 2 was in third
with $16 million. The Universal
animated sequel, with its cast of
cute, yellow minions, has made
more than $600 million worldwide
since it came out four weeks ago.
The Wolverine, which is set in
Japan and features an international
cast, earned another $86.1 million
overseas. The lms opening-week
take surpassed the $120 million it
cost to make, said Chris Aronson,
Foxs head of domestic distribution.
Its a huge opening for the
clawed one, he said. It played
equally well from Maine to Maui.
Another Fox lm, the animated
snail-racing tale Turbo, was in
fourth place with $13.3 million.
Adam Sandlers Grown Ups 2 fol-
lowed with $11.5 million.
Woody Allens latest, Blue
Jasmine, enjoyed a stellar opening
of its own, though on a much small-
er scale. Starring Cate Blanchett,
the lm opened in just six theaters
but still collected $612,767.
Its one of the biggest opening
per-theater averages ever for a non-
animated lm, said Paul
Dergarabedian of box-ofce tracker
Hollywood.com.
Ticket sales this weekend were up
almost 30 percent over the same
weekend last summer, he said.
It was a good weekend to be a
moviegoer because the choices just
got a lot more interesting,
Dergarabedian said, noting a mix
that includes animated, independent
and big-budget action offerings.
Fruitvale Station, the Sundance
winner already generating Oscar
buzz, expanded to theaters across
the country and edged its way into
the top 10, contributing to a sum-
mer box ofce that is up more than
10 percent over last year.
The Wolverine claws way to top

presidential campaign when it raised
lots of money through online dona-
tions.
The campaign shared the fundraising
techniques after Obama beat Romney
in the 2012 election.
The campaigns fundraising advan-
tage came down to speed by reducing
the time between donors clicking a
button and the actual time it takes to
process the transaction.
Save time, save money, the compa-
ny contends.
Huge chunks of donations are wast-
ed and do not go toward providing
services, Campbell said.
The service is also free. Donors are
only charged for a credit card transac-
tion fee and those fees can drop the
more nonprots that sign up and use
the service, Bolton said.
Bolton has the computer science
background and Campbell worked
extensively with nonprots, seeing
rsthand how inefcient fundraising
can be.
Charitable giving is a big business
in the United States with individual
donations totalling more than $200
billion a year.
Most of those donations go to larg-
er organizations such as the Red Cross
or United Way.
CommitChange is focusing rst on
helping smaller nonprots with under
a $13 million a year budget.
The site was in the beta stage until it
went fully live last week.
Companies can nd a 20 percent to
50 percent gain in efciency almost
immediately, Bolton said.
A food bank in the Tacoma, Wash.
area has served an estimated 20,000
more meals to the needy after signing
up with CommitChange.
The company just launched a nation-
al database with more than 3,500 non-
prots included in its server.
The goal this summer while the two
are in San Mateo is to partner with
about 10 local nonprots to help them
succeed, Campbell said.
They are also surrounded by other
young entrepreneurs in Adam Drapers
accelerator, bouncing ideas off each
other in an effort to improve the prod-
uct and reach the right audience.

increase over time and eventually all
of the new home owners will pay the
special tax, said the citys Finance
Director David Culver.
All new owners will be required to
sign an afdavit saying they under-
stand the tax will have to be paid and
the city has no liability, Culver said.
The city created the Community
Facilities District No. 2008-1 back in
2008. It encompasses about 800 resi-
dential units.
The council has to authorize the levy
by July 31 to get it on the countys tax
roll for collection in scal year 2013-
14, according to a staff report.
The infrastructure includes the roads,
trafc signals, drainage, sewer sys-
tem, utilities and more needed for the
new community.
TRI Pointe will actually release
homes to its rst buyers next week at
the Amelia.
The Amelia has 63 units and nearly
half have already been sold.
Bay Meadows has sold out the rst
homes released since its March 16
grand opening. The rst three sales
releases at Amelia and Landsdowne by
Shea Homes sold out immediately.
When complete, 1,170 housing
units will ultimately be constructed on
the 83-acre site by several different
builders. Some will be rental units.
Prices for homes at the Amelia cur-
rently range from $715,000 to
$915,000 depending on the oor plan
with some of the units having up to
four bedrooms.
In phase 2, there will be ve build-
ings of Class A ofce space for rent,
ranging from 95,000 square feet to
185,000 square feet and the private
Nueva School. The development sits
between the Hillsdale and Hayward
Park Caltrain stations.

HELP.
It was so sad even hearing about
it, Prem said.
Gaerlan and his family moved into
the Hoover Street duplex in 2009 and
Prem said Pelayo was quite clear to the
front tenants they needed to leave
space in the driveway for him to get
through. But when new tenants moved
in, Pelayo allowed them to park up to
four cars in the driveway and also
placed the dumpster, Prem said.
Prem said neighbors saw Gaerlan
dropped off by a school bus but unable
to maneuver around the cars. He once
soiled himself while waiting, Prem
said.
Sweezey also encountered problems
getting permission to build a ramp at
her expense and receiving a copy of
her lease. When she got the document,
Pelayo had written on it that no hand-
icap facilities or alterations can or will
be made by both tenants and landlord.
Pelayo also delayed the ramp, threat-
ened eviction and demanded renters
insurance as a condition of installa-
tion, Prem said.
The family eventually moved, citing
escalating harassment and a $125
monthly rent hike. They live in the
East Bay which creates a two-and-a-
half hour commute for Sweezey but the
housing situation is better, Prem said.
The family attended a workshop
sponsored by Legal Aid Society of San
Mateo which referred them to HELP
and eventually led to the suit led in
January 2013.
Prem said HELP is publicizing the
case as a way to alert other homeown-
ers and tenants about the rights of
both.
A lot of people dont come forward
... but disability is our largest base of
discrimination cases, she said.
Federal law prohibits a landlord to
discriminate because of disability,
including refusing to provide reason-
able accommodations or modifica-
tions. Exceptions are made when the
request would be nancially burden-
some or fundamentally change the
housing providers business.
Pelayo could not be reached for com-
ment.

MOndaY, JULY 29, 2013
LeO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- When it comes to fnancial
or career matters, follow your instincts and play
your hunches. With a little common sense thrown in,
these assets could put you in the proft column.
VirGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If you believe a friend
has some important information, dont count on him
or her to call you about it. He or she might not even
know you need it. Make the contact yourself.
LiBra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You might only get
partial support for something important that you
want to change. Dont be disappointed; at least its
a starting point.SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Two
persons whom youll soon deal with are blessed with
long memories. How you treat them wont readily be
forgotten -- so make sure you treat them right.
saGiTTariUs (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Although you
might have to contend with some extra jobs or
responsibilities, youll fgure out how to handle
everything with grace and aplomb. In fact, the
busier you are, the better youll perform.
CaPriCOrn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Learning
something new can be an enjoyable experience.
Knowledge you acquire now will be immensely
helpful in the future -- so pay attention.
aQUariUs (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You may expend
only nominal effort on something of personal
signifcance, just to get the job done. However,
when it comes to things that beneft your loved
ones, youll knock yourself out.
PisCes (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Youll have a more
enjoyable day if you associate with companions who
share your interests. Try to avoid persons whose
political or religious philosophies confict with yours.
aries (March 21-April 19) -- For some reason, a
few of your customary income channels could yield
larger returns than usual. Take as much advantage of
these conditions as you can -- they wont last forever.
TaUrUs (April 20-May 20) -- A successful endeavor
that requires an unusual combination of sensitivity
and boldness is likely to outshine all of your other
achievements today, especially if competition is
involved.
GeMini (May 21-June 20) -- Much to your credit,
you arent apt to reveal any information about a
friend that could tarnish his or her image. The
wisdom of your decision will pay off handsomely.
CanCer (June 21-July 22) -- Group encounters
could prove to be extremely enlightening if youre
a better listener than you are a talker. Chances are
youll learn more from other people than you ever
expected.

Auction.com Room San Mateo CA 94403
at public auction, to the highest bidder for
cash or check as described below, paya-
ble in full at time of sale, all right, title,
and interest conveyed to and now held
by it under said Deed of Trust, in the
property situated in said County and
State and as more fully described in the
above referenced Deed of Trust. The
street address and other common desig-
nation, if any, of the real property descri-
bed above is purported to be: 715
FOOTHILL DRIVE, SAN MATEO, CA,
944023319. The undersigned Trustee
disclaims any liability for any incorrect-
ness of the street address and other
common designation, if any, shown here-
in. The total amount of the unpaid bal-
ance with interest thereon of the obliga-
tion secured by the property to be sold
plus reasonable estimated costs, ex-
penses and advances at the time of the
initial publication of the Notice of Sale is
$1,040,918.19. It is possible that at the
time of sale the opening bid may be less
than the total indebtedness due. In addi-
tion to cash, the Trustee will accept
cashier's checks drawn on a state or na-
tional bank, a check drawn by a state or
federal credit union, or a check drawn by
a state or federal savings and loan asso-
ciation, savings association, or savings
bank specified in Section 5102 of the Fi-
nancial Code and authorized to do busi-
ness in this state. Said sale will be made,
in an ''AS IS'' condition, but without cove-
nant or warranty, express or implied, re-
garding title, possession or encumbran-
ces, to satisfy the indebtedness secured
by said Deed of Trust, advances there-
under, with interest as provided, and the
unpaid principal of the Note secured by
said Deed of Trust with interest thereon
as provided in said Note, plus fees,
charges and expenses of the Trustee
and of the trusts created by said Deed of
Trust. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BID-
DERS If you are considering bidding on
this property lien, you should understand
that there are risks involved in bidding at
a trustee auction. You will be bidding on
a lien, not on a property itself. Placing
the highest bid at a trustee auction does
not automatically entitle you to free and
clear ownership of the property. You
should also be aware that the lien being
auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you
are the highest bidder at the auction, you
are or may be responsible for paying off
all liens senior to the lien being auctioned
off, before you can receive clear title to
the property. You are encouraged to in-
vestigate the existence, priority, and size
of outstanding liens that may exist on this
property by contacting the county record-
er's office or a title insurance company,
either of which may charge you a fee for
this information. If you consult either of
these resources, you should be aware
that the lender may hold more than one
mortgage or deed of trust on the proper-
ty. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER
The sale date shown on this notice of
sale may be postponed one or more
times by the mortgagee, beneficiary,
trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section
2924g of the California Civil Code. The
law requires that information about trust-
ee sale postponements be made availa-
ble to you and to the public, as a courte-
sy to those not present at the sale. If you
wish to learn whether your sale date has
been postponed, and, if applicable, the
rescheduled time and date for the sale of
this property, you may call 1-800-281-
8219 or visit this Internet Web site
www.recontrustco.com, using the file
number assigned to this case 12-
0070696. Information about postpone-
ments that are very short in duration or
that occur close in time to the scheduled
sale may not immediately be reflected in
the telephone information or on the Inter-
net Web site. The best way to verify
postponement information is to attend
the scheduled sale. DATED:

DRUGDEOHVROXWLRQ
By Chris Talbott
If musicians were measured not
by the number of records they sold
but by the number of peers they
influenced, JJ Cale would have
been a towering gure in 1970s
rock n roll.
His best songs like After
Midnight, Cocaine and Call
Me the Breeze were towering hits
for other artists. Eric Clapton
took After Midnight and
Cocaine and turned them into
the kind of hard-party anthems
that dened rock for a long period
of time. And Lynyrd Skynyrd took
the easy-shuffling Breeze and
supercharged it with a three-guitar
attack that made it a hit.
Cale, the singer-songwriter and
producer known as the main archi-
tect of the Tulsa Sound, passed
away Friday night at Scripps
Hospital in La Jolla, Calif. His
manager, Mike Kappus, said Cale
died of a heart attack. He was 74.
While his best known songs
remain in heavy rotation on the
radio nearly 40 years later, most
folks wouldnt be able to name
Cale as their author. That was a
role he had no problem with.
No, it doesnt bother me, Cale
said with a laugh in an interview
posted on his website. Whats
really nice is when you get a check
in the mail.
And the checks rolled in for
decades. The list of artists who
covered his music or cite him as a
direct inuence reads like a whos
who of the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame Clapton, Neil Young,
Tom Petty, Johnny Cash, Mark
Knopfler, The Allman Brothers,
Carlos Santana, Captain Beefheart
and Bryan Ferry among many oth-
ers.
Young said in Jimmy
McDonoughs biography
Shakey that Cale and Jimi
Hendrix were the best guitar play-
ers he had ever heard. And in his
recent memoir Waging Heavy
Peace, Young said Cales Crazy
Mama his biggest hit, rising
to No. 22 on the Billboard singles
chart was one of the ve songs
that most influenced him as a
songwriter: The song is true,
simple, and direct, and the deliv-
ery is very natural. JJs guitar
playing is a huge inuence on me.
His touch is unspeakable.
It was Clapton who forged the
closest relationship with Cale.
They were in sync musically and
personally. Clapton also recorded
Cale songs Travelin Light and
Ill Make Love To You Anytime
and included the Cale composition
Angel on his most recent album,
Old Sock. Other songs like
Layla didnt involve Cale, but
clearly owe him a debt. The two
also collaborated together on
The Road to Escondido, which
won the Grammy Award for best
contemporary blues album in
2008.
Clapton once told Vanity Fair
that Cale was the living person he
most admired, and Cale weighed
the impact Clapton had on his life
in a 2006 interview with The
Associated Press: Id probably be
selling shoes today if it wasnt for
Eric.
That quote was typical of the
always humble Cale. But while
Clapton was already a star when he
began mining Cales catalog,
theres no doubt the music they
shared cemented his Clapton is
God status and dened the second
half of his career.
As hard as Ive tried Ive never
really succeeded in getting a record
to sound like him and thats what I
want, Clapton said in a Fast
Focus video interview to pro-
mote Escondido. Before I go
under the ground, I want to make a
JJ Cale album with him at the
helm.
Clapton described Cales music
as a strange hybrid. Its not real-
ly blues, its not really folk or
country or rock n roll. Its some-
where in the middle.
Cale arrived at that intersection
by birth. Born John Weldon Cale
in Oklahoma City, he was raised
in Tulsa. Buffeted by country and
western on one side and the blues
on the other, Oklahoma offered a
melting pot of styles. Cale leaned
on those styles as he spent his
formative years in Los Angeles
and Nashville, but he also used
drum machines and often acted as
his own producer, engineer and
session player. Hed bury his own
whispery vocals in the mix, caus-
ing the listener to lean in and
focus.
I think it goes back to me
being a recording mixer and engi-
neer, Cale said in a 2009 biogra-
phy on his website. Because of
all the technology now you can
make music yourself and a lot of
people are doing that now. I start-
ed out doing that a long time ago
and I found when I did that I came
up with a unique sound.
