Schools get graded

Academic assessment shows San Mateo County scores mostly level
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Forty-three percent of schools in California, compared to 58.3 percent in San Mateo County, are meeting academic assessment goals, according to the 2011 academic performance report released by the California Department of Education Tuesday morning. The APR, which consists of three separate reports, is an annual report card for every school in the state. Scores leveled off and in some cases decreased. In California, 43 percent of schools are meeting the target, which translates to 55 percent of elementary schools, 43 percent of middle schools and 28 Tom Torlakson percent of high schools scoring above 800 points. In San Mateo County, 58.3 percent of schools are at or above the procient mark, however, not everyone is making the grade. I applaud the hard work our students, teachers, parents, school employees and administrators are doing to improve even in the face of severe cuts to school funding, State Superintendent Tom Torlakson said in a prepared statement. At school, after school, and among every signicant ethnic group, Californias students are performing better than ever. Gary Waddell, deputy superintendent, instructional services division for the County Ofce of Education, was pleased to see a 3.9 percent increase in local districts achieving or surpassing the API target. API scores range from 200 to 1,000, with 200 being far below basic, 500 being below basic, 700 being basic, 875 being procient and 1,000 being advanced. The statewide API performance target for all schools is 800. Our schools and districts continue to take seriously the achievement and continued growth of our students, Waddell said, adding the federal benchmarks of No Child Left Behind are laudable but fail to measure schools along the essential metric of student growth. While our schools and districts continue to nd new and innovative ways to

Creating academic change

Students strolled into Tiffany Zammits math class Tuesday morning and started on the warm-up on the board. A three-dimensional triangle was drawn with the various sides labeled. Two tasks were asked of the Peninsula High School students: How many parallel planes are in the gure below? And, identify those planes. Occasionally, hands would shoot up with a follow-up question about the denition of parallel. The topic was apparently covered Monday and a student, after reviewing her notes, realized her mistaken understanding of the word. Ultimately there were two pairs.
Though not necessarily excited to do so, students volunteered to go to the front of class and showcase those pairs. Its just a typical scene in any math class, but Peninsula High School in San Bruno has been making changes in recent years. Yesterdays release of test scores was a victory for the campus which was previously in program improvement a federal classication for a school district not meeting the academic growth standards for two or more years. Thats a small yet exciting step for the school which scored a 596 on the academic performance index, which has a scale of 200 to 1,000 and a statewide goal of 800. Some may look at the scale and think the school missed the

By then, two weeks will have passed since the woman her mom describes as impulsive, headstrong and with an IQ of 160 walked away from a transitional living house in Redwood City. Avellone, who is diagnosed as bipolar, is without her medication, without her cellphone she threw it out during a previous bipolarrelated incident, her mother said and possibly without much more than the clothes and toiletries she requested upon entering the home. The fact that I havent heard that theyve found her body, which is what I was thinking nonstop when I learned she was missing, makes me now feel the longer shes gone that shes holed up somewhere, said Elizabeth Crown, Avellones mother. Avellone, 24, walked away from Redwood House at approximately 3 p.m. Tuesday, Aug.

College district candidates focusing on finances

By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Setting goals during tough nancial times to guide unwelcome decisions about cuts is a priority of those running for the San Mateo County Community School District Board of Trustees. Six people are running in hopes of holding one of three four-year seats on the board. Five of the six candidates incumbents Dave
Mandelkern, Patricia Miljanich and Karen Schwarz, along with education nonprofit director Joe Ross and businessman Michael Stogner visited the Daily Journal ofce Tuesday for an endorsement interview. Jaime Diaz could not be reached. Candidates discussed topics ranging from communication and long-term planning with bonds to reducing debt while soliciting student involvement. Money in terms of funding classes and continuing to update buildings and technolo-
gy monopolized the conversation. Budget cuts have meant fewer classes at the district. A four-year parcel tax passed in June 2010 to generate $6 million a year buffered the blow. The measure isnt unique for schools, but the community college district is the only one in the state with such a funding mechanism in place. Reducing the impact hasnt eliminated the need to make cuts. Most candidates agreed the best way to make decisions about programs is through a
shared governance process and following set guidelines. The incumbents noted the board previously decided to focus on courses that support basic skills, transfer students and job training, a direction Ross supported. Stogners position throughout the conversation was more as a taxpayer advocate. For example, the district is seeking a $564 bond measure this November. The college

Strange but True

Man in plane spots his home being burglarized
BAY, Ark. An Arkansas man who wanted to capture aerial photos of his home during his rst plane ride instead helped catch two men burglarizing it. Steven Lynn said he could see the two taking items from his house. I looked down, and sure enough, there was a truck hooked onto a trailer, and guys were loading stuff up, Lynn told The Jonesboro Sun. It didnt seem to faze them that we were buzzing over in an airplane; we got down pretty low. Lynn called an uncle who lives nearby and 911. Craighead County Sheriffs deputy Phillip Wheaton said the two men unloaded the trailer and left the scene when the uncle arrived. But the pilot and Lynns uncle followed them until they were stopped near Bay by Wheaton and two other ofcers. They were giving us turn by turn directions and giving us a description by county road, Wheaton told television station KAIT. The two men in the truck, Roosevelt Smith III and Joseph Peel, both of Jonesboro, now face burglary and theft charges. Smith and Peel didnt have listed phone numbers and couldnt be reached for comment. Most of the stolen items were found, but Lynn said a rie valued at $1,200 is still missing. Lynn said after talking to deputies, he realized a next-door residence he also owns had also been burglarized with several new ceiling fans, tools and copper wire missing. Its slim to none that you would ever see anything like that happening. I never would have expected it, Lynn said. I just wanted to see my house from the air, but to see something like that is a complete mood change. I feel like I was really lucky. miles south of the Canadian border. Lynden chief Gary Baar tells the Bellingham Herald that the Sunday night fire caused a large whoosh, singed the tree and killed the bees but no people were hurt. Baar says the mans friend had been stung earlier in the day. The re chief says, The correct way to do that is to call a beekeeper. Firefighters explained that to the homeowner, and the newspaper says it doesnt appear that that the man will be cited.

Community festival T-shirt mocks Osama bin Laden

HOQUIAM, Wash. A community festival near the Washington state coast is attracting attention with a T-shirt mocking Osama bin Laden. The Loggers Playday festival shirts featuring a cartoon of the terror mastermind tied to a log with the caption Osama Bin Loggin are being sold for $15 to raise money for a scholarship. Organizers say they got the idea because their Sept. 10 event is so close to the tenth anniversary of 9/11 and because bin Laden was killed by U.S. military forces in May. The T-shirt maker, Christian Burgess of Jacknut Apparel, told The Daily World critics have called the T-shirt tacky and in very poor taste. One area resident, Jeanne Ward, printed several T-shirts that say, My Hoquiam is a Hate Free Zone.

two years of imposed court probation following his week jail term but was denied. Guidotti called the case, particularly the fact the alleged victims were Redi-Wheels clients, disturbing. Almehamedawy encountered the two females who accused him of sexual battery while working as a cab driver with Serra Cab Company which is contracted by Redi-Wheels when it is overbooked with clients. Redi-Wheels is a paratransit service provided by the San Mateo Country Transit District for riders with disabilities that cannot use regular SamTrans bus service. SamTrans spokeswoman Christine Dunn was unable to provide by press time how the agency contracts with independent cab companies or if it conducts checks on the individual employees. On Aug. 15, 2009, while driving one client to work, prosecutors said Almehamedawy made several inappropriate comments and touched her both under clothing on the breast and over clothing in her genital area. At the destination, the woman claimed he refused to unlock the doors unless she kissed him but she refused and was able to leave. The woman reported the encounter to police several days later and Almehamedawy reportedly denied any inappropriate behavior. Another female client reported that on Feb. 24, 2010, Almehamedawy touched her breasts after driving her to the Hillsdale Shopping Center. The woman reported the incident the next day and Almehamedawy admitted being in the vehicle with her but denied any improper activity. The case was originally set for trial in June but the defense successfully asked for a delay. At that point, the woman in the 2009 case testied in a conditional exam because she was distraught and couldnt handle the delay, according to the prosecution. Trial began earlier this week with motions, including a ruling that jurors would be allowed to briey learn of a 2003 incident in which his second alleged victim was accused of sexual battery and other allegations of theft in 2002 and domestic violence in 2010. She was never arrested or charged with those offenses. ther options for sharing police services. According to the analysis, a shared service model was not viable due to limited or non-existent scal savings, Telford wrote in a staff report. Cost is one of the issues with keeping its own department. Over the last 10 years, the department has gone from 38.5 full-time equivalent employees to 29.75, Telford wrote. The reduction includes six less police ofcers and two fewer police lieutenants. Should the city want to maintain its own department, Telford suggested increasing stafng levels by 2.25 full-time equivalent employees a cost of $410,000 annually. Meeting that will require cuts to other city departments.

Bill would let illegal immigrant students get aid
SACRAMENTO The state Senate on Wednesday approved the second half of contentious legislation that would allow students who are illegal immigrants to apply for state-funded scholarships and nancial aid. The Senate approved AB131, also known as the California Dream Act, with a 22-11 vote, leaving it just one step away from the governors desk. The state Assembly must consider changes to the bill it previously passed before it can go to Gov. Jerry Brown. These students are valedictorians, theyre class presidents, and theyre all-star athletes. They are the future of California, said Sen. Ron Calderon, D-Monterey Park, who carried the bill in the Senate. The bill is part of a legislative package by Assemblyman Gil Cedillo, D-Los Angeles. Last month, Brown, a Democrat, signed a separate bill by Cedillo approving private scholarships and loans for illegal immigrant students. AB131 would make those students eligible for state-funded nancial aid.
WASHINGTON In a retreat after an hours-long test of wills Wednesday, President Barack Obama agreed to deliver an address on jobs and the economy to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 8, yielding to House Speaker John Boehner, who had balked at Obamas request for a Sept. 7 speech. Obamas address still gives him a grand stage to unveil his economic agenda, but it falls on the same evening as the opening game of the National Football League season. White House ofcials were working on the precise timing of the speech. The change now will allow a planned Sept. 7 Republican presidential debate in Simi Valley, Calif., to proceed without Obama upstaging it. Still, by seeking a rare joint session of Congress as his audience, Obama will get a nationally televised address that puts him face to face with Republican lawmakers who have bitterly opposed his agen-

da and who have vowed to vote down any new spending he might propose. It is our responsibility to nd bipartisan solutions to help grow our economy, and if we are willing to put country before party, I am confident we can do just that, Obama wrote Wednesday in a letter to Boehner, R-Ohio, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, DNev.
With new August unemployment numbers ready to be released Friday, Obama is under pressure to lay out his plan. In seeking a joint session of Congress to deliver it, he is turning the effort into a public relations campaign. The timing dispute created an inauspicious start to the jobs debate and introduced tensions before Congress even returns from its annual summer recess. It began with the White House releasing the letter at noon Wednesday from Obama to Boehner and Reid requesting they convene a joint session of Congress for his address at 8 p.m. on Sept. 7. Usually, presidential requests to address Congress are routinely granted after consultations between the White House and lawmakers. In this case, the White House notified Boehners office on the same day it released the letter requesting the session. A White House ofcial, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the topic, said Boehners ofce raised no objections or concerns.

BART picks new head for embattled transit system

OAKLAND Bay Area Rapid Transit agency directors have selected a former transportation director in Seattle to run its embattled system. The BART board on Wednesday picked Grace Crunican (Krun-i-can) as general manager. Crunican replaces Dorothy Dugger, who resigned under pressure in April. Crunican has a reputation as a straight-talker who will be able to help BART compete for federal transportation funds since she previously served as a deputy administrator with the Federal Transit Administration. Crunican spent eight years as Seattles transportation director. She resigned in 2009 after storms crippled Seattles public transportation system and sparked criticism that the city was unprepared.
A number of San Bruno residents who have sued PG&E over last Septembers deadly PG&E pipeline explosion hope to have their day in court, and a hearing is scheduled for Thursday to set a possible trial date. The Sept. 9 explosion of a 12-foot section of Line 132 in the Crestmoor Canyon neighborhood killed eight people and destroyed dozens of homes, some of which have since been rebuilt, although the neighborhood remains transformed by the disaster. The lawsuit involves total of 92 cases and 323 plaintiffs, according to a joint case management conference statement led in San Mateo County Superior Court. The plaintiffs are asking the court to adopt a litigation schedule and set a trial date, according to a legal
brief led with the court by the plaintiffs lawyers on Monday. Lawyers for both sides have submitted briefs regarding trial structure. The plaintiffs attorneys are lobbying for a structure that would address liability and damages collectively by presenting bellwether cases select cases that are representative of the groups claims. The court, however, indicated in a June 30 hearing that it was inclined to proceed with a consolidated trial that would address the issue of liability rst, then allow mediation with plaintiffs to determine the amount of any damages PG&E would pay. The plaintiffs attorneys argue that the latter approach would result in a lack of transparency, as settlements would be made behind closed doors. The very least that plaintiffs deserve is an open, adversarial, and
transparent forum, the plaintiffs brief read. Discussion on the trial structure is expected to take place at Thursdays 9 a.m. closed hearing, but the court might not necessarily make a decision that day on that aspect of the case. In a brief led last week opposing the bellwether proposal, defense attorneys argued for a structure similar to the one supported by the court. Our goal has always been and continues to be nding a timely and fair resolution to these matters, PG&E spokesman Joe Molica said today. We believe our proposal would allow for a much faster and efcient means to the resolution of these claims which the plaintiffs deserve. The bellwether structure divides the claims into several categories and presents a representative case for each category. The trial would
address claims related to physical injury, death, property damage and emotional distress, according to one of the plaintiff lawyers. Regardless of how the trial is structured, the plaintiffs attorneys said that those affected by the explosion and its aftermath deserve to have their stories heard. The plaintiffs lawyers allege that PG&E had a corporate culture that placed profits above safety. Mondays brief cites existing information released in the press about PG&Es egregious safety lapses and willful disregard for the public welfare. Defense attorneys said they were not authorized to comment on the matter. We will remain committed to the community of San Bruno and will continue to work with those who were impacted by this terrible tragedy, Molica said.

Bill to regulate health insurance rates is pulled

By Adam Weintraub
SACRAMENTO The author of a bill that would have given California regulators the power to reject health insurance rate increases said Wednesday he has pulled it from consideration this year. Democratic Assemblyman Mike
Feuer of Los Angeles decided there were too few votes in the Senate to pass AB52. Senate Democrats were divided on the bill that passed the Assembly in June. With just a week remaining in this years session, Feuer said in a statement he will try again next year. The bill would have given the state insurance commissioner and
other regulators authority to reject rate increases deemed excessive. Supporters, including labor unions and advocates for low-income Californians, said it would help families afford insurance. Groups representing insurers, hospitals and doctors lobbied against the bill, saying the regulations would add bureaucracy and do
nothing to address high and fast-rising medical costs that help drive rate increases. Ultimately, they argued, rate regulation could reduce access to care. With Republican lawmakers lined up solidly against the proposal, Feuer needed the support of at least 21 of the 25 Democrats in the Senate.

Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law a bill by state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, to enhance consumer privacy protection when sensitive data is lost or stolen. Senate Bill 24 strengthens the states existing data breach notification requirements by providing consumers with the information they need to protect themselves against identity theft, according to Simitians office. As a result of legislation Simitian passed in 2002 (AB 700), California law requires data holders, such as businesses or state agencies, to notify individuals when there has been a breach of personal information. However, the law does not indicate what information should be contained in this notification, according to Simitians office. Brown also signed into law Senate Bill 514 yesterday, authored by Simitian. The bill prohibits the sale of over the counter cold and cough medicines containing dextromethorphan to minors. California becomes the first state in the nation to take such action. On a 56-12 bipartisan vote, the state Assembly Wednesday approved the Reader Privacy Act of 2011 legislation that would require government agencies to seek a court order if they wanted to access consumers reading records from bookstores and online retailers. The bill SB 602 authored by state Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco/San Mateo would establish consumer protections for book purchases similar to long-established privacy laws for library records.
Govt sues to block AT&T,T-Mobile merger

WASHINGTON The Justice Department led suit Wednesday to block AT&Ts $39 billion deal to buy T-Mobile USA on grounds that it would raise prices for consumers. The government contends that the acquisition of the No. 4 wireless carrier in the country by No. 2 AT&T would reduce competition and that would lead to price increases. At a news conference, Deputy Attorney General James Cole said the combination would result in tens of millions of consumers all across the United States facing higher prices, fewer choices and lower quality products for mobile wireless services. The lawsuit seeks to ensure that everyone can continue to receive the benets of competition, said Cole. AT&T said it would ght and ask for an expedited court hearing so the enormous benets of this merger can be fully reviewed. The company said the government has the burden of proving alleged anti-competitive effects, and we intend to vigorously contest this matter in court. Four nationwide providers Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint account for more than 90 percent of mobile wireless connections. T-Mobile has been an important source of competition, including through innovation and quality enhancements such as the roll-out of the rst nationwide high-speed data network, according to Sharis Pozen, acting chief of Justices antitrust division. Mobile wireless telecom services play an increasing role in day-today communications, with more than 300 million smart phones, data cards, tablets and other mobile wireless devices in use. Deutsche Telekom, the owner of T-Mobile, had no immediate comment. The proposed cash-and-stock transaction would catapult AT&T past Verizon Wireless to become the nations largest wireless provider, and leave Sprint Nextel Corp. as a distant number three. In a statement, Sprint said the Justice Departments lawsuit delivered a decisive victory for consumers, competition and our country. By ling suit to block AT&Ts proposed takeover of T-Mobile, the DOJ has put consumers interests rst. AT&T and T-Mobile compete nationwide, in 97 of the largest 100 cellular marketing areas, according to the suit led in U.S. District Court in Washington. They also vie for business and government customers.

Swollen rivers begin falling

Solar company that got federal loan shuts down
WASHINGTON A California solar-panel manufacturer once touted by President Barack Obama as a beneciary of his administrations economic policies as well as a half-billion-dollar federal loan is laying off 1,100 workers and ling for bankruptcy. Solyndra LLC of Fremont had become the poster child for government investment in green technology. The president visited the company in May 2010 and noted that Solyndra expected to hire 1,000 workers to manufacture solar panels. Other state and federal ofcials such as former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Energy Secretary Steven Chu also visited the companys facilities. But hard times have hit the nations solar industry.
KILLINGTON, Vt. Swollen rivers began falling Wednesday in much of the Northeast, allowing relief crews to reach the last of the tiny Vermont towns that had been entirely cut off from help by Hurricane Irenes fast-moving oodwaters. The receding water eased the ooding that had paralyzed parts of the region and revealed more damage to homes, farms and businesses across the ood-scarred landscape. Repair estimates indicated that the storm would almost certainly rank among the nations costliest natural disasters, despite packing a lighter punch than initially feared. Of the 11 towns that had been severed from the outside world, the
nal one to be reached by rescuers was tiny Wardsboro, a village of 850 residents in the Green Mountains. The community is little more than a post ofce and some houses standing along Route 100, a highway popular in the fall with tourists searching out autumn colors. Gov. Peter Shumlin said the previously isolated communities all have vehicle access now, though some require four-wheel drive to get there. The National Guard continued to ferry supplies to mountain towns that had no electricity, no telephone service and limited transportation in or out. Helicopters arrived with food, blankets, tarps and drinking water. In the ski resort town of Killington, residents went to the elementary school for free hot dogs and corn on the cob.

Unemployment rates fell in most U.S. cities in July

WASHINGTON Unemployment rates fell in a majority of U.S. cities in July, despite a weak economy that is producing few jobs. The Labor Department said Wednesday that unemployment rates dropped in 193 large metro areas, increased in 118 and were at in 61. Thats a sharp change from June, when unemployment rates rose in more than 90 percent of metro areas. The biggest monthly decrease was in Morgantown, W.Va. The unemployment rate there fell from 6.6 percent in June to 5 percent in July, mostly because people stopped looking for work. The government only counts people as unemployed if they are actively seeking work.
CDC:Half of all Americans have a sugary drink daily

U.S. security intensifying as Sept. 11 anniversary nears

By Eileen Sullivan
ATLANTA Health ofcials say half of Americans drink a soda or sugary beverage each day and some are downing an awful lot. A new study found that one in 20 drinks the equivalent of more than four cans of soda each day. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention research also showed teenage boys drink the most soda,
sports drinks and other sugary liquids. Sweetened drinks have been linked to the U.S. explosion in obesity, and health ofcials have been urging people to cut back. Many schools have stopped selling soda or articial juices. The CDC report released Wednesday is said to be the rst to offer national statistics for adults and kids. Past studies have focused on certain groups, particularly school kids.
WASHINGTON As the nation prepares for the 10-year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks a date al-Qaida has cited as a potential opportunity to strike again security is intensifying at airports, train stations, nuclear plants and major sporting arenas around the country. At this point there is no specic credible threat, but that doesnt mean we are relaxing at all in terms of our vigilance, said John Brennan, President Barack Obamas homeland
security and counterterrorism adviser. We are concerned about the lone actors that are out there, we are concerned that al-Qaida or others may try to take advantage of the 9/11 anniversary events, Brennan told the Associated Press on Wednesday. Were looking at all different angles what might have been planned for a while, were still looking for indications that there might be something out there, but we are very interested in seeing whether or not theres any indication whatsoever of a lone actor and thats much more difcult to pick up.

OPINION
Renancing underwater homeowners

The Oregonian, Portland
Other voices
The administration also is said to be pursuing a new home rental program that could keep hundreds of thousands of foreclosed homes from ooding onto the market and further depressing prices. If underwater homeowners with government-backed mortgages could renance them at todays low rates, around 4 percent, their mortgage payments would fall, many more could stay in their homes, the money they save would circulate through the economy and the housing market would have a better shot at stabilizing. Obama may be able to skirt Congress, but
mericans owe $700 billion more than their homes are worth, and if nothing is done these underwater mortgages will keep dragging the housing market and the economy down with them. So it was encouraging to hear that the Obama administration is preparing a plan to ease renancings for underwater homeowners. The outlines of the proposal are unclear, but the administration seems likely to bypass the dysfunctional Congress and focus on the millions of homeowners whose loans are owned or backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-controlled mortgage companies.
he still will have to persuade the Federal Housing and Finance Authority, which oversees the federal mortgage programs, to go along with a plan that would require taxpayers to subsidize housing debt. Banks and the investors who buy the government-backed bonds also will ght any proposal that threatens their interest income or requires them to take on large amounts of unsecured risk. A mass renancing of underwater homes would do both. The current policy of standing and watching while families and home prices sink under wave after wave of foreclosures is not working. Its time to throw underwater homeowners a lifeline the chance to renance their homes, and stay in them.
Sweet!
ows this for a sweet surprise chocolate is good for the body once again. Sure, rumor had it a nibble of the decadent delight wasnt too shabby now and again. Something about cardiac well-being. Something more enticing about taking the place of love in the brain. A whole lot of justication about satisfying a sweet tooth without going overboard. But like all things vicey and wonderful, the merits of chocolate are also intertwined with tales of its evilness. Fat and obesity, cavities and slothfulness. Maybe even a little cancer sprinkled in for good measure. The medical and nutritional tug-of-war over these little nuggets of palette heaven arent new or limited to chocolate. Red wine wins the ribbon for this battle. Drink a glass with dinner every night! Abstain all together! A sip! A sin! Get a drink! Find a program! The confusion is enough to make anybody buy a cheap box of chain-store sangria and tip it back to the very last drop. Articial sweeteners are another if one can even look upon those as an indulgence with studies showing that rats get tumors if they ingest something like 97 million pounds. Lets just say if a person is eating that much Splenda and Equal, they likely have bigger problems. How about eggs? Avocados? Fish (like mercury poisoning is a bad thing)? Butter? Beer? Even water can be questionable when seasoned with a healthy does of chloramine, uoride or unknown bacteria. Red meat hasnt escaped either. A little let is supposedly good for the system unless of course you have too much and then its time to put the cardiologist on speed dial, stockpile Lipitor and get ready to punch another notch in the belt buckle. If that doesnt make one want to glom onto tofu burgers and sprouts, Im not sure what will. And milk demon or angel? Prevent osteoporosis but cultivate some lactose intolerance; strengthen the bones and (according to the dumb Milk Advisory Board, protect weak men from the trouble of their ladys PMS) help the smile but prepare for growth hormone-related problems and that pesky spare tire. On that note, what food isnt somehow cautioned to make one fat? Oh yeah, nothing if its heaped on in piles. Why? Because its food! But I digress. Blame the coffee. Absentmindedness is probably a side effect of caffeine although I think I recall a study or two that didnt just dump on the stimulant. I also added sweetener and nonfat milk. Im doomed. So is it any wonder I am savoring this new batch of studies touting the benets of chocolate? To be fair, the new studies published in the British Medical Journal (seems tting considering the lingering stereotypes of British dental care) isnt carte blanche to dive into an entire Halloween fun-bite size bag of Milky Ways or squeeze a bottle of Hersheys syrup directly into ones mouth. Moderation, people. The studys data concluded that people who ate more chocolate than others whatever exactly those parameters are had 37 percent lower risk of developing heart disease and 29 percent less likely to suffer a stroke. If you needed an excuse to demand Godiva goodies on Valentines Day or expect the grandkids to bring chocolate gifts when visiting, look no further. The good stuff in chocolate, nestled up next to the sugar and fat, is something called polyphenol which is some antioxidant that hikes the bodys production of nitric oxide which in turn drops blood pressure. Translation: chocolate aint half bad and is more than half good. So praise chocolate and gobble up while you can, at least until the next contradictory study offers something new to chew on.

High-speed rail again
Editor, It is absolutely no surprise that blended HSR appeals to our local politicians (Blended rail gets boost in the Aug. 30 edition of the Daily Journal). Something called the Peer Review Group offers full support behind the blended HSR so that they can take advantage of Obamas failed American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Now Governor Moonbeam and some other progressives are plotting to transfer funds from our budget to a train that will never pay for itself. I suppose that our local politicians all agree we should pay all these billions here and billions there so they can ll their coffers. I used to think that state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, was half sane, but now after his statement that this Peer Review Group should be trusted because of their expertise and experience, I suppose he too has had his pocket lined. Too bad our politicians are both blind and deaf to what their constituents really want. Oh well, progressives never tire of spending other peoples money. mentation proposal is consistent with U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoos blended rail proposal for the Caltrain corridor (Blended rail gets boost published in the Aug. 30 edition of the Daily Journal). This is a lie because Eshoos blended rail proposal requires highspeed rail to stay within the current two-track Caltrain right-of-way alignment forever, and never, repeat never, build out in the future to a four-track high-speed rail alignment. Eshoo did this in response to the severe damage to Peninsula cities resulting from the high-speed rail project of an elevated Highway 101-wide Central Freeway through the middle of business districts. Stop the lies CAHSRA.
Never-ending Holocaust
Editor, I recently watched the movie Hotel Rwanda. I was struck by the painful, painful image of French soldiers refusing to evacuate Rwandan people and only helping Europeans. The Jewish Holocaust is kept in the public consciousness through books, lms and television specials (such as the soon to be released movie The Debt). It is as if we believe genocide has never taken place before or ever will again. But the truth is: it has. Genocide has been committed. By the British government to the Irish in the 1840s, the Ottoman Turks to the Armenian people in the 1920s, the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia in the 1970s, and the Bosnian Serbs to the Muslim Croats in the 1990s. Imagine that the Western powers would allow people to be killed with machetes by the millions. Imagine that a democratic country like the United States would do nothing to intervene. My message is this: If crimes against humanity are to occur, let each case be heard equally.

The possible nightmare

Editor, If Republicans should win the White House and gain full control of Congress in the 2012 elections, they plan to further widen the gap between the haves and have nots by taking the following actions. Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid would be gone in their current forms, many federal employees would lose their jobs and those managing to keep theirs would face deep cuts in their health care benets and pensions. Federal programs supporting those living below the poverty level would be cut to the bone. Then, after those heart-breaking budget cuts were made, part of those savings would go toward giving the rich another round of huge tax cuts. You can bank on that. How can that nightmare above be prevented? Wake up and smell the coffee, then put your thinking hats on straight and be sure to vote in the 2012 elections.

Blended high-speed rail is a lie

Editor, The California High-Speed Rail Authority recently doubled their 2011 construction cost estimate for laying HSR tracks no HSR trains or electrication in the atter, more unpopulated Central Valley from $7.1 billion to $14 billion. And, as actual construction gets closer, construction costs continue to rise. Currently the costs are $67 billion-$100 billion for the San Francisco to Los Angeles project. Many experts are predicting the price to reach over $200 billion. Thus, to salvage the train to nowhere boondoggle, CAHSRA is fabricating a lie that their phased imple-

global demand for commodities like copper and coal. That helped to push up other stocks in the mining and commodities industry. Equipment giant Caterpillar Inc. rose 1.3 percent. The Standard & Poors 500 index rose 5.97, or 0.5 percent, to 1,218.89. It fell 5.7 percent for the month.

NEW YORK It was a quiet end to a wild month for nancial markets. Stocks edged higher for a fourth straight day Wednesday on a report that factory orders surged in July. The Dow Jones industrial average turned higher for the year. The Dows winning streak ended a tumultuous August that included four consecutive days of swings of 400 points or more, a rst in the history of the index. A surge in factory orders indicated to investors that the manufacturing industry is still healthy. Orders rose 2.4 percent in July, the largest increase since March, after falling 0.4 percent in June. That decline caused worries that manufacturing, one of the best-performing areas of the U.S. economy since the recession ended two years ago, might be starting to sputter.

Redboxs opportunity: Netflix price hike

Business brief
Yelp narrows sales team focus for online deals
SAN FRANCISCO Online reviews site Yelp is making a change to the way it allocates its sales force to the online deal service it launched last year. The move comes less than a week after Facebook shuttered a similar program that failed to gain traction in a market dominated by Groupon. In a post Tuesday on the Yelp blog, CEO Jeremy Stoppelman said Yelp Deals isnt closing, but that it shrank from a team of 30 focused on selling deals and local ads to 15 people that will only work on deals. He wrote, Well continue to email out any amazing Deals we nd; rest assured when it comes to quality vs quantity, well choose quality every time. Yelp Deals offers occasional deals in 20 markets, including San Francisco and New York.
SAN FRANCISCO Netix is giving Redbox a golden opportunity to gain some ground. Beginning Thursday, Netix, the largest U.S. video subscription service, will hit its nearly 25 million U.S subscribers with rate increases of as much as 60 percent. The sticker shock is expected to make Redbox, which rents DVDs for $1 per day through kiosks, even more enticing to movie lovers. We are very cognizant of the value of the dollar, said Gary Cohen, Redboxs senior vice president of marketing and consumer experience. Redbox is all about simplicity, convenience and value. Netix Inc.s higher prices will drive business to video rental chain Blockbuster and other home entertainment rivals too, but none are better positioned to take advantage of the disruption than Redbox,
according to Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter. Thats because millions of people are expected to keep paying for a Netix service that streams video over high-speed Internet connections, but will look for other places to rent DVDs at a low price. Most people wont have to go far before coming across a Redbox kiosk; two-thirds of the U.S. population now lives within a ve-minute drive of one of the companys red vending machines, which are largely stationed in Wal-Marts, drug stores, supermarkets and convenience stores. Netix, which is based in Los Gatos, has given its subscribers little reason to stray until now. Its service emerged as a household staple during the past few years while bundling rented DVDs through the mail with unlimited Internet video streaming for little as $10 per month. Keeping both of those options will cost $16 per month under Netixs new pricing system.

Wildcats hoping to turn it around

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Terra Nova football coach Bill Gray is not one for hyperbole. When the dean of football on the Peninsula says something, he means it. So when he says this is the fastest team hes had in his 22 years at Terra Nova, well, Peninsula Athletic League, youve been warned. Our team, it doesnt have great size, but it is very t and it is the fastest team Ive ever coached since Ive been here, Gray said. In the past, we had speed in some positions. Now, we have speed throughout the lineup. Theyre very fast and very smart. As is usually the case for Terra Nova teams, the Tigers are senior laden, meaning they have to replace a number of starters every year. But the replacements have usually already served an apprenticeship for a year, studying under the starter for a season before taking over the following year. Last years run to the PAL Bay Division title and Central Coast Section Division III championship, however, was a bit different, as it was one of Grays younger teams. And despite that youth, they still managed to win league and section titles. That youth is one year older and more experienced, which could mean long games for the opposition. You have to look at the quarterback and receiving corps, Gray said. Thats compelling. Not only does Terra Nova return prolic signal-caller Chris Forbes for his second season as the starter, the Tigers also return their top four receivers. Forbes threw for more than 2,550 yards, completing 63 percent of his passes (201 for 318), with 25 touchdown passes against 10 interceptions. Then add in his 668 yards rushing, along with 13 more rushing touchdowns and you have arguably the best player on the Peninsula. His numbers might have been even better if he didnt miss two games with injury including the CCS title game. But Gray doesnt believe Forbes has any lingering hangups about missing that championship game. Chris is one of the most stable, most solid

Steve Nicolopulos, head football coach at Woodside High School, is hoping his 13th season at the helm of the Wildcats isnt unlucky. Its been difficult, Nicolopulos said. Weve been at the bottom of the barrel the last two years. Its been back-to-back, one-win seasons for Woodside, a two-year stretch of football completely unfamiliar to a program used to winning, and winning often. So, whats the theme for Wildcats football in 2011? Rebounding really, Nicolopulos said. Coming back and getting back to where we were. I think that some of the kids that we have this year, and with the way some of the things went over the summer with workouts, were a lot better off at this point this year than maybe weve been in the last two years. So, if thats any indication of improvement, than thats a good thing. I like where were at offensively. Defensively, were getting to where we need to be. So, things are looking up. Woodsides upside revolves around the return of Ricki Hoffer, the starting quarterback, whos shown some growth in the offseason. With a year under his belt, the Wildcats might open up the offense and try to get the ball into the hands of playmakers like John McKee. Christian Masulit will see the bulk of the carries with returning fullback Gino Cockrun leading the way. Hopefully, we can muster up some of that old magic, Nicolopulos said. Were going to do what we can do. People ask, What are you going to do? What are you going to run? Were going to do whatever works for us. Were going to nd something that works for us and go with that. Guillermo Martinez and Jeff Petromilli will anchor the offensive line. Its been good, Nicolopulos said of his offenses progression. The kids have progressed real well. Theyve been listening, theyve been learning, Nicolopulos will take points any way he can get them Woodside was last in the Ocean Division last season after scoring only 127 points. Defensively, Nicolopulos knows his guys will have to improve as well. Last season,

did not originally plan to write anything about the San Francisco Giants in this space today. Ive bashed on them enough this season and at this point, whats left to say? That is until the Giants made moves that all but force me to discuss them. Specically, outelder Aaron Rowand and inelder Miguel Tejada being designated for assignment Wednesday, which basically ends their Giants careers. Its about time Giants management did something to shake up this roster and I look
at it as a shot across the bow to the rest of the team: start performing or this could happen to you. Are you listening Cody Ross? Aubrey Huff? Barry Zito? The usual move when a team is scufing as bad the Giants are (Wednesdays win over the Cubs not with-
standing) is to re the hitting coach, which is always more of a ceremonial move than an actual solution. Everyone knows Hensley Meulens can not do much with this slop-hitting team. Designating Rowand and Tejada makes a much bigger statement to the rest of the team. It makes sense Rowand and Tejada were the rst to go. I guess Giants management had seen one to many swings at pitches in the dirt from Rowand. Tejada all but sealed his fate with his reluctance to bunt in Sundays lost and then basically saying,
Hey, I just work here. Rowand shortened his own leash with comments made to the Chicago media in July in which he obliquely dissed both the team and the city of San Francisco. You guys dont like it here theres the door. The reality is, both these guys are backups at best at this point in their careers. Releasing them means manager Bruce Bochy no longer has to worry about appeasing these veterans with playing time and at-bats. While

Tejada cut
By Janie McCauley
There are autograph signings. There are autograph signings at ManCave Memorabilia shop in San Mateo. And then theres a Brian Wilson autograph signing at the ManCave Memorabilia shop in San Mateo which drew fans like Jonathan Escobar out to 22nd Avenue and El Camino Real at 10 a.m. a whole eight hours before the Giants closer was scheduled to arrive. I wanted to be the rst in line, Escobar said. And I had nothing else to do today ... I work nights. Escobar, who calls San Mateo home and attended Hillsdale High School, was one of an estimated 1,200 Wilson fans who packed the memorabilia shop to have the Giants closer sign a ball, bat, jersey, mural or pretty much anything else. Escobar actually got his $150 ticket as a birthday gift from his girlfriend and brought his older sister, Jackie, along with him for support. Weve been Giants fans since we were this big, Jackie said, putting her hand down to about her waist. Jonathans enthusiasm led him to the ManCave early, but a solid line started forming outside the shop at around 4 p.m. with El Camino Real growing more and more hectic as fans started trickling in. This is our 15th event and weve really been learning as we go, said ManCave coowner and vice president Chris Scerri. Almost one year ago exactly, we had our rst event, with some 49er legends like Joe Montana and Tom Rathman. Weve learned a lot since then. But 100 percent of the credit goes to Anthony Rohatch and KLF Sports.

Jonathan Escobar,center,and his sister Jackie,wait along with hundreds of others to get autographs from San Francisco Giants reliever Brian Wilson.Escobar was the rst person in line at 10 a.m. for an event that didnt begin until 6 p.m.
They did an amazing job setting up this event for our customers. Scerri, who has a background in law enforcement, said that Wilsons appearance at ManCave wasnt just the biggest autograph signing in Northern California this year, it was probably one of the biggest in the entire country. As such, Scerri and his crew were out in full force trying to control a bit of the chaos that comes with gathering over 1,000 of The Beards biggest fans. Fans paid a pretty penny to see Wilson tickets for the signing were going for $150 with VIP tickets, which assured you were one of the rst to meet the Giants closer, going for $175 and selling out very quickly during the Caves pre-sale. And depending on what you wanted Wilsons signature, you could be paying even more. We just want to make it a great experience for our customers, Scerri said. And we have awesome customers. According to Scerri, Wilsons autograph signing at ManCave was his only schedule public appearance of 2011. So were really happy that he chose to come here and spend time with our customers.
Bumgarner dazzles in win

designating inelder Miguel Tejada and outelder Aaron Rowand the teams second-highest paid player for assignment. Dazzling while winning his second straight start, Bumgarner allowed a season-low two hits and walked two in eight innings. Madison Manager Bruce Bochy stuck Bumgarner with him after a one-out walk to Geovany Soto in the eighth and Bumgarner got out of it. He was tough, said Chicago leadoff man Starlin Castro, who tweaked his troublesome hamstring but didnt consider it serious. Sergio Romo nished the Giants 11th shutout with a 1-2-3 ninth that included a strikeout. Music blared through the clubhouse afterward for a group that believes it can rediscover its swagger from last falls improbable title run. Ill say this, its been a tough go, Bochy said. To get out of something like weve been going in usually takes a great pitching effort, and we got that from Madison. It puts the team feeling good about themselves. Its a nicer off day after a win. Hopefully it will give us some momentum. Keppinger drove the rst pitch he saw from Lopez into the left-eld seats leading off the
SAN FRANCISCO His team practically desperate, Madison Bumgarner delivered a boost that could not have come at a better time for the defending World Series champions. NL West-leading Arizona arrives for a crucial weekend series with the Giants starting Friday. We needed to win today in the worst way possible, newly activated outelder Pat Burrell said. Bumgarner matched his career high with 11 strikeouts, Jeff Keppinger and Pablo Sandoval hit consecutive home runs in the fourth inning, and San Francisco beat the Chicago Cubs 4-0 on Wednesday to snap a three-game skid and avoid a sweep. On a day when general manager Brian Sabean began making big changes to his struggling club, Bumgarner (9-12) was brilliant. I didnt think about (what was at stake), Bumgarner said. But we need to win. And it would be nice to win from here on out. Keppinger also drove in a run with a bloop single in the fth off Rodrigo Lopez (4-6), who lost his third straight outing and dropped to 0-5 in eight career starts against San Francisco. San Francisco began the day a season-high six games behind NL West-leading Arizona, which was hosting Colorado on Wednesday night. Sabean shook up the roster before the game,
fourth for his teams rst lead in the series. Sandoval then splashed a shot into McCovey Cove beyond the right-eld arcade right to the eager kayakers who had been waiting to retrieve a rare souvenir in the bay of late. It marked the fourth time San Francisco connected for consecutive homers this season and rst since Freddy Sanchez and Aubrey Huff accomplished the feat June 2 at St. Louis. Sandoval picked up his sixth career splash hit and second this year. It was the third by a Giant in 2011, 58th by San Francisco overall and No. 82 in the history of the 12-year-old ballpark. Barry Bonds, the home run king, has 35 of them. Lopez has allowed two of Sandovals splash homers. The rst came in 2009 when the righthander was with Philadelphia. While this result was encouraging, the Giants realize there will have to be a lot more wins the rest of the way to stay in the playoff hunt. San Francisco hasnt won a home series in six opportunities since taking two of three from the Brewers from July 22-24, and hasnt won in ve straight series overall. Nobody was too shocked, and some were saddened by the departures of a pair of proven veterans. We ran into a road block. Were a good team playing bad baseball for more than a month, Mark DeRosa said. I dont think they were going to sit still and be idle. ... At some point something had to be done.
SAN FRANCISCO With his club falling further out of playoff contention by the day, Giants general manager Brian Sabean started making sweeping changes Wednesday. Outfielder Aaron Rowand and infielder Miguel Tejada were designated for assignment by the defending World Series champions, who began the day trailing rst-place Arizona by a season-high six games in the NL West race. The Giants beat the Chicago Cubs 4-0 to avoid a sweep and end a three-game losing streak, while the D-backs were hosting Colorado at night. Arizona visits for a crucial three-game weekend series starting Friday night. Were at a spot in the season where we have to do some damage control with the roster. A couple Aaron Rowand things played into it. In both cases, there was diminished playing time, diminished roles, Sabean said. If this stays ugly, weve got to turn the page, look at some other people and get ready for next year, and try to win and develop at the same time. Sabean said he was Miguel Tejada working to try to move both players to other clubs within the day so they could continue their careers. The Giants have 10 days to trade or release each player, but would have to trade them to a contender before Thursday for them to be eligible for another teams postseason roster. Still, San Francisco is absorbing more than $15 million in the combined contracts of Rowand and Tejada. I dont expect anything. Well see what happens. Weve got the whole day to work on it, Sabean said. The GM faced a 9 p.m. local time deadline for trading either player for them to be playoff-eligible. Rowand, the teams second-highest paid player behind pitcher Barry Zito, is making $12 million this season and was due the same for 2012 but money wasnt an issue in the decision with Rowand. Ownership was apprised throughout the process. That wasnt a problem, Sabean said. He was given an opportunity. ... Did it turn out the way we wanted to in the end? Obviously not. But its time for both parties to move on. The 34-year-old Rowand was batting .233 with four home runs and 21 RBIs in 108 games. He was hitless in seven at-bats during the current homestand and was mired in a 1for-24 (.042) slump dating to Aug. 13. He hasnt drawn a walk since July 5. The 37-year-old Tejada received a $6.5 million, one-year deal in December to join the Giants. He was batting .239 with four homers and 26 RBIs in 91 games. He was 4 for 20 since being activated from the 15-day disabled list Aug. 16 after missing 25 games with a lower abdominal strain. I think we knew eventually it was coming, Mark DeRosa said of the shake-up. We didnt know who, or when it was coming. At some point something had to be done.

Hagan makes most of his Indians edge As in 16 innings opportunity with Raiders
Indians 4, As 3
By Josh Dubow
ALAMEDA When training camps opened, Derek Hagan was just worried about where he would get a job. Hagan had to wait more than a week in a stressful period after the start of camps to sign a contract with the Oakland Raiders. Now with only one exhibition game and no practices left before the nal cut-down day, Hagan appears to have solidified a spot on the Raiders roster with his hard work in practice and performance on the eld. With ve years of NFL experience with Miami and the New York Giants, Hagan provides veteran leadership for a young receiving corps in Oakland. More important has been his production, most notably his six catches for 121 yards and a touchdown in an eyeopening performance last Sunday night against New Orleans. I know what Im doing, Hagan said. I know how to get open and the quarterbacks, they have the condence in me to get open and make those plays. I just got to keep doing it. Hagan has done it so far, making big plays almost daily on the practice eld and translating that into the exhibition games so far. He has 10 catches for 195 yards and a touchdown in the preseason tying for the third most catches and ranking second in yards in the league for the exhibition season. Hagan told quarterback Jason Campbell when he joined the team that he just needed an opportunity to show what he can do in the NFL. He is sure making the best of it so far. I think he did a great job in a great opportunity of putting himself in the best position possible, Campbell said I think hes a great guy. Hes a great teammate and well see what happens. But he denitely made a statement. With Louis Murphy expected to miss at least the opener with an undisclosed injury and Chaz Schilens sidelined by a knee injury, Hagan could have an important role for Oakland when the season starts Sept. 12 in Denver. Ive always thought he was a good football player, coach Hue Jackson said. Some players just need to get in the right environment to let their talent show. Obviously, its been great since hes been here. So, Im very happy for him. Hes done a tremendous job and hes represented himself well. Despite a stellar career at Arizona State with 258 catches for 3,939 yards and 27 touchdowns, Hagan was only a third-round
pick in 2006 by Miami. He started one game in three seasons with the Dolphins, before playing sparingly as a backup with the Giants in 2009. He was cut after the nal exhibition game last season before the Giants brought Derek Hagan him back midway through the year because of injuries. After catching 24 passes for 223 yards and a touchdown in seven games last season for the Giants, Hagan became a free agent in the offseason. As other players signed deals and teams were deep into installing new systems, Hagan was home waiting for his phone to ring. Because of injuries to some of Oaklands regular wideouts, the Raiders called and ended up signing Hagan to a contract on Aug. 7. It was a little stressful just because free agency started so late, he said. Normally, free agency starts way back in March, and now it started at the end of July, August, and it was stressing me out because other guys were in camp and I was still sitting at home trying to gure out where I wanted to go. I wasnt sure if I was going to sign back with New York, but you know, they didnt give me a call. So after that, I was just like, OK, its time to go somewhere else. Hagan has been a needed addition in Oakland. His 85 career catches are more than any other wide receiver on the team has and he also has far more NFL experience than his cohorts. In a receiving corps known for its speed with blazers like Darrius Heyward-Bey and Jacoby Ford, Hagan is known for a different attribute. Shortly after he arrived, Jackson praised him with a dig at some of the other players, saying Hagan understands that its more important to study the playbook at night than to play video games. Hagan said he learned that from veterans Chris Chambers and Marty Booker in Miami and he wants to teach that to his new teammates in Oakland. You got to get your study time in, Hagan said. This is my job, this is my profession and its something I love to do. I try to stick what I do best and thats playing football. Notes: DT Richard Seymour was working on his own at practice as he recovers from a reported hamstring injury. ... Schilens was in uniform doing some individual workouts and drills as he tries to come back from a knee injury.
CLEVELAND Jack Hannahans single with one out in the 16th inning scored pinch-runner Cord Phelps from second base and gave Cleveland a 4-3 win over the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday night, moving the air-for-drama Indians back into second place in the AL Central. Jim Thome singled with one out off Josh Outman (3-4), the As eighth pitcher, and was replaced by Phelps. Carlos Santana lined a single to center before Hannahan, who hit two solo homers, singled to right. Phelps never slowed and was able to slip headrst under the tag of catcher Kurt Suzuki, who had to jump to catch right elder David DeJesus strong throw. Hannahan was mobbed by the Indians, who won for the 17th time in their last at-bat at home and jumped Chicago in the division, stayed 5 1/2 games behind rst-place Detroit. Frank Herrmann (4-0), Clevelands sixth pitcher, worked four perfect innings. The marathon featured a Progressive Field record 34 strikeouts 19 by Oakland pitchers, who also combined for eight perfect innings from the seventh to 15th. The As threatened in the 10th, 11th and 12th, but couldnt push the go-ahead run across. They stranded six runners in the three innings, leaving the bases loaded in the 12th against Chad Durbin, who got out of the one-out jam by striking out Ryan Sweeney and retiring DeJesus on a pop to short. Suzuki homered for Oakland, which dropped its fth straight. The Indians didnt gain any ground on the Tigers, but for a change they did get a positive medical report. Designated hitter Travis Hafner received some
encouraging news about his strained foot tendon from doctors, and manager Manny Acta expects the slugger to return this season. Hafner has been out since Aug. 21, when he was injured trying to stretch a single during a game in Detroit. Acta does not have a timetable for Hafners return, but said when the cleanup hitter does come back, he will share DH duties with Thome. Also, Indians outelder Grady Sizemore began a rehab stint at Double-A Akron, and as long as he doesnt have any setbacks, he could rejoin the club soon. Hannahans second homer off starter Rich Harden, a towering shot off the foul pole in right, tied it 3-3 in the sixth. He turned on an 0-1 pitch and drove it threequarters of the way up the pole for the 3,000th homer at Progressive Field, which was also hosting its 1,400th game since opening in 1994. Clevelands Ubaldo Jimenez allowed three runs and six hits in six innings, and the righthander got stronger as the game went on. He struck out six of the last seven As he faced, freezing Suzuki on an outside pitch to end the sixth. It wasnt a dominant performance he needed 114 pitches to get through six but he kept the Indians close enough to pull out another one. Harden, who was frequently mentioned in trade rumors involving the Indians before the July 31 deadline, posted an almost identical line to Jimenez three runs and six hits in six innings with two walks and six strikeouts. Suzuki connected for his 13th homer in the fourth, giving Oakland a 3-2 lead. The As had tied it 2-2 in the third on Brandon Allens twoout RBI single.

TIGERS
Continued from page 11
kids youd ever want to meet, Gray said. Last year is over and this is a new year. Hes the consummate team guy. Even though he didnt play in that last game, he was a huge part of it. As long as everyone stays healthy, the Tigers could put up some videogame like numbers. Receivers Nick Manessis, Jake Smith, Elias Vargas and Ryan Virgin combined for 218 catches for over 3,000 yards and 26 touchdowns. Vargas had a monstrous season in 2010 nishing with over 100 yards receiving six times, averaging nearly 17 yards per catch. Virgin led the team in catches with 68, two more than Vargas. He had four games of 100-plus yards receiving. Manessis averaged nearly 11 yards per catch last season, while hauling in 49 balls. Smiths 35 catches for 489 yards good for nearly 14 yards a catch would have led most any team in the league. Taking over in the backeld for Josh Cruz is junior Tanner Piccolotti, who played on the varsity squad last year as a sophomore. He didnt see a whole lot of time on offense, but Gray is not concerned about his ability to get the job done.
Coach: Bill Gray,22nd season 2010 record: 4-1 PAL Bay,9-4 overall Returners: 18 Key returners: Chris Forbes (Sr., QB); Elias Vargas (Sr.,WR/DB) Ryan Virgin (Sr., WR/DL), Nick Manessis (Sr., WR/DB), Jake Smith (Sr., WR/DB); Hunter Hillen (Sr.,DE),Ivan Mailangi (Sr.,ILB/RB);Justin Gubser (Sr.,OT/DL); Sean Olsen (Sr.,OG/DL) Key newcomers: Deryke Murray (Sr.,ILB);Clark Tolero (Jr.,CB/WR);Matt Motylewski (Jr.,LB); KRen Spain (Jr.,LB);Tanner Piccolotti (Jr.,RB). 2011 schedule (home games in CAPS): 9/2 vs. Sacred Heart Cathedral at Kezar Stadium,7 p.m.;9/9 @ Wilcox,7:30 p.m.;9/16 PIONEER,8 p.m.; 9/23 SAN MATEO,8 p.m.; 10/7 @ Sacred Heart Prep, 3 p.m.; 10/14 @ Jefferson, 7 p.m.; 10/21 @ Burlingame, 8 p.m.; 10/28 KINGS ACADEMY,7 p.m.; 11/4 MENLO-ATHERTON,7 p.m.; 11/11 HALF MOON BAY,7 p.m.
Weve had big guys, small guys, (but) not lightning fast guys, Gray said. But we have one this year. Hes a very powerful runner and I know when he catches the ball, there are wings on his feet. Ivan Mailangi will also see some carries this season. Seniors Justin Gubser, Hunter Hillen and Sean Olsen will anchor the offensive line and will see time on defense as well. The strength of the defense, other than team speed, will be the linebackers and secondary. Mailangi will hold down one of the inside linebacker spots and he will be joined by a pair of juniors, Matt Motylewski and KRen Spain. The receivers will also double as defensive backs, but not as full-time starters. While everyone will wonder if the Tigers can repeat as CCS champions, Gray is having no part of that discussion. Our goals are what they always are and that is to win the [Bay Division] championship, Gray said. That hasnt changed and our focus in always on the PAL. If we do that, we move on from there.
World championships full of surprises,so far

the Wildcats surrendered 353 points (another Ocean Division worse). I think it comes down to more of a personnel issue, Nicolopulos said. Were doing a few things differently defensively that weve done in the past, trying to see if the personnel package we have ts the things we want to do and make it work that way. We have to stop people if we want to win Im never happy. Im never satised. Still, while Nicolopulos sees improvement, he knows that the road may be a long one for his team. You never know, Nicolopulos said about his team going into the preseason. In high school, you never know. Were trying to t the pieces of the puzzle to the kids that

we have. So, were working with two different puzzles all the time. We have four games to gure things out, league-wise. Our league this year, I feel is really tough everybodys got players, everybodys good, its going to be nails this year. When I look at some of the teams in the Ocean this year, quite a few of them could be Bay-level teams. It all comes down to every game counts.
DAEGU, South Korea So far, the world championships have been full of surprises. That hasnt always been good news for the U.S. sprinters. No longer are the powerful Jamaicans the only threat, either. Unknowns are bursting onto the scene at this meet that sets the stage for next summers London Olympics, stealing attention from American stars such as Allyson Felix and LaShawn Merritt. The 400 meters was supposed to be Felixs race, the rst leg of a difcult double that would culminate with her trying to win a fourth straight 200 title. But an unheralded Amantle Montsho of Botswana used a strong nish to beat Felix at the nish and leave the charismatic American wondering whether she will even go for the double in London. Kirani James, a teenager from tiny Grenada, then unseated Merritt as champion in the mens 400 with a lean at the nish line. He was able to reel in Merritt over the nal few meters, something that never used to happen. Merritt is hardly race sharp, as hes coming off a 21-month suspension for doping. He still has plenty of time to get back into elite form to compete in London, provided, of course, hes even eligible. He has to wait on a verdict from the Court of Arbitration for Sport on the IOCs six-month rule, which prevents athletes who receive doping bans of more than six months from competing at the next Summer or Winter Games. A decision is expected to be rendered in late September. Nothing he can do about that. But on the track, its completely within his power. I came in with a game plan and didnt quite stick with the plan. Thats on my part, said Merritt, who will be a member of the 1,600meter relay that begins Thursday. Im feeling healthy. I still feel
strong. Im just looking to move forward. Usain Bolt, the biggest star in track, is ready to look ahead, too. Yet even after he false started in the 100, the U.S. failed to win gold. Once Bolt was disqualied, another Jamaican, Yohan Blake, kept the title for the Caribbean island. Walter Dix couldnt close the gap and settled for silver. Tyson Gay (hip) will be returning to the eld in London after sitting out at the worlds. But so will Asafa Powell (groin), and dont count on Bolt false-starting there. The worlds fastest man will be anxious to atone for his mistake, a process that will start Friday in the rst round of the mens 200, while its Americas Carmelita Jeter who will be going for a surprising sprint double in Daegu. Headed into the 100, Jeter had the fastest time in the world this season. But given the Jamaicans dominance in the event and Jeters history of not coming through in big races, she seemed like an unlikely winner. It took her 10.90 seconds to erase that perception. By holding off Veronica Campbell-Brown, Jeter showed she can step up and may have established herself as the favorite heading into the Olympics. Now, shes feeling no stress heading into the 200. All the pressure is pretty much over, Jeter said. Thats not quite the case for Felix. She wanted to challenge herself at the worlds this year and just not focus on her signature event, the 200. A little drained from all the rounds of the 400 and with no gold to show for it she will have her hands full with CampbellBrown & Co. As for whether she might double in London, Felix said she wont make any decisions until after the worlds, once shes had a chance to assess how much strain the two events placed on her body. She did set a personal best in the 400, though, nishing in 49.59 seconds, a fraction behind Montsho.

Andres Torres, who now takes over the bulk of playing time in center eld, has not been lighting it up this season, he did during the Giants run to the World Series title. What has Rowand done in his four seasons with the Giants? A whole lot of nothing. Tejada was just a bad move from the getgo. It might have been an all right move if the Giants had given him only a mil or so, but six million for one year? Thats horrible. Plus, Mike Fontenot has performed better and he seems to be a good company man. No need for a malcontent like Tejada when you have Orlando Cabrera (who should also be on the watch list) and Fontenot. No general manager wants to cut players they have signed. They dont want to admit they made a mistake in the rst place. But with the season quickly slipping away, General Manager Brian Sabean deserves a little bit of credit for making these moves. Better late than never, I guess. *** Well, that didnt last long. KNBR 680 broke up the Gary Radnich-
Damon Bruce pairing after only a few weeks. Bruce announced on Facebook Tuesday night that he was moving back to KNBR 1050 in the noon to 4 p.m. slot beginning Tuesday, while newly rehired Larry Krueger is joining Radnich from 9 a.m. to noon. Thank God. I listen to sports-talk radio way too much and let me tell you, the Radnich-Bruce pairing was a bad mix to begin with. Radnich has spent too many years not talking about sports hardcore for at least a decade. To pair him with Bruce a sports-talk host pit bull was doomed from the start. Plus, Radnich just was overpowered by Bruce. Radnich had trouble trying to slip a word or thought in edgewise. Bruce is the perfect example of a guy needing his own show. According to Bay Area Sports Guy, a Bay Area sports blogger, Radnich had a meeting with the folks over at 95.7 The Game, but nothing materialized from that, other than forcing KNBR to make more changes and do them quickly. Its clear Radnich was not asked if hed like to be paired with Bruce and was forced to do it, although he said otherwise on the air. Plus, moving Bruce back to his own show on 680s sister station, 1050, gives 1050 a
local presence again and a local option to 680s Fitz and Brooks program, which, judging by message boards, is not particularly well liked. Neither is Bruce, who many people have called a blowhard. Well, duh, hes a talkshow host! I liked Radnich solo (along with The Tony Bruno segment) because he wasnt hardcore sports. He spends a lot of time talking pop culture, Hollywood and other entertainment minutiae. Im going to be listening to sports talk the rest of the day, Radnich has always been nice change of pace. My only gripe with Radnich is when he goes to a caller and then talks over them for ve minutes. Unfortunately, Radnich will probably not get to go back to that style with Krueger on board, but Krueger is a Bay Area guy. He knows Radnichs style, so maybe hell be willing to play around. I listened to the rst 45 minutes of the Gary and Larry show Wednesday morning and Radnich appeared much more relaxed and had a much better rapport with Krueger. Are all these changes in response to 95.7 The Games foray into the Bay Area sports scene? I dont think so. I listen to The Game occasionally and it has yet to capture my
attention. It claims to talk about all the sports teams in the Bay Area and bashes on KNBR for only talking 49ers and Giants, but every time I listen, all I hear is 49ers and Giants talk. No matter if you like Radnich or not, hes a sports broadcasting institution here in the Bay Area, so if things dont go well with KNBR, dont look for him to be moving to another market. The same cant be said of Bruce. I believe he is the best host in the Bay Area. If KNBR keeps jerking him around, hes going to bolt. While there are many people out there who cant stand Bruce, they dont really matter. Jim Rome, a syndicated talk-show host and ESPN personality, likes Bruce enough to have had him ll in when Rome took a couple days off this summer. A national audience is probably in Bruces future sooner rather than later.

Remaining charges against Bonds dropped

By Paul Elias
SAN FRANCISCO Federal prosecutors dropped all the remaining charges against Barry Bonds on Wednesday, days after a judge upheld the sluggers conviction on an obstruction of justice count. The U.S. attorneys ofce in San Francisco led court papers informing U.S. District Judge Susan Illston it was dismissing the three charges of making false statements still pending against Bonds, Major League Baseballs all-time home runs leader. A jury deadlocked on the three counts at Bonds trial in April. The deadline for prosecutors to start the process for a retrial on those charges was about 30 days

away. Now, Bonds wont face a new trial on accusations that he lied to a grand jury back in 2003 when he testied that he never knowingly received steroids or human growth hormone from trainer Greg Anderson, and that no one other than his Barry Bonds doctors ever injected him with anything. Assistant U.S. Attorney Matt Parrella declined comment. Bonds lawyer, Allen Ruby, said that his clients legal team was focused on the sluggers sentencing hearing in December. Ruby declined to discuss whether Bonds intended to appeal the

obstruction conviction. Bonds was among the biggest stars convicted as a result of an investigation into the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative (BALCO) steroids ring, a probe headed by federal agent Jeff Novitzky that also ensnared Olympic gold medal-winning track star Marion Jones. Bonds was initially charged in November 2007 with lying to the grand jury during a December 2003 appearance when he testied that his personal trainer misled him into believing the designer steroids and performance enhancing drugs he was taking were legal supplements. A majority of jurors this year voted to acquit him on charges he lied when he denied knowingly taking steroids and human growth hormone. The jurors voted 11-1 to convict him for denying
that anyone other than his doctor ever injected him. Bonds faces a maximum of 10 years in prison, though federal guidelines recommend a sentence of 15 to 21 months. Illston, who upheld the obstruction count last Friday, also is free to impose a lesser sentence, which she did after two previous trials involving a champion cyclist and track coach each convicted of lying in cases that grew out of the BALCO probe. Cyclist Tammy Thomas and track coach Trevor Graham each received sentences of house arrest. Bonds, Thomas and Graham were the only three BALCO gures who pleaded not guilty and went to trial on charges of lying about performance enhancing drugs.

Water and mulch key in prepping trees for winter

By Carole Feldman
Its a rite of fall green leaves turn red and gold and then fall as trees prepare themselves for winter. Its an excellent time to give your trees a good once over. Are there dead branches or limbs, or large areas of fungus? Is the tree leaning? Are the roots well-grounded? A local arborist can determine whether there are problems that require immediate action. Dead branches or the entire tree can come down in a storm. Be proactive, arborists say. Its a lot cheaper to have the limb cut off than to fix your roof, said Jonathan Hammond, owner of Alpine Tree and Shrub Care in Denver. And its not just the dead limbs. Pruning your tree can make it better able to withstand the extra weight of ice and snow, the Tree Care Industry Association says on its website Treecaretips.com. Branches can be thinned to reduce their surface area and wind resistance. The U.S. Forest Service has a guide for pruning trees, including dos and donts and when trees should be pruned. But heights and chain saws can be a dangerous combination for amateurs. Sharon Lilly, director of education for the International Society of Arboriculture, said people should call a certified arborist for pruning large trees. Homeowners can do the smaller and lower stuff themselves, she said. There are other things that can be done to help trees withstand harsh winters. Give them a good, long, slow drink, Lilly said. All trees should get that fall watering, but especially young ones planted in the last three years, and evergreens. You might even do that more than once going into the winter months, she said. Watering should be done before the ground freezes so the water can reach the roots. A layer of organic mulch around the tree can help maintain moisture. The mulch also insulates and protects the upper roots, said Tchukki Andersen, staff arborist at the Tree Care Industry Association. And, it will help replenish nutrients in the soil. Think of it as an early spring snack for the trees when the area warms up, she said. Arborists caution against placing mulch right up against the tree trunk. Think of shaping it like a saucer instead of a cone, said Vermont master gardener Ann Sherman: The mulched area should be as wide as possible to cover the underground roots but no deeper than 2 to 4 inches. The bigger the mulch area, the better the benefit, Lilly said. Fertilizing trees isnt necessary unless the soil is deficient in certain nutrients. Andersen said that if a tree is unhealthy, adding fertilizer will prompt it to put out new growth at the expense of its defense systems. Fertilizer is touted as a cure-all or a

preventative, she said. Its basically a substance that brings back a more natural balance of the soil. For branches that have a weak union, or crotch, cabling is sometimes recommended. Lilly said that should be done by a professional, because there are a lot of ways to do more harm than good. A professional also can give you guidance on staking a tree to support it, Andersen said. In areas where it snows a lot, small, fragile trees can be protected with a support teepee, essentially a tripod of plywood to prevent the snow from accumulating, she said. Also, some smaller trees can be winterized by temporarily tying some of the branches together. Its almost an engineering exercise, looking at your trees and what the potential loads are going to be and how the tree is going to respond, she said. Hammond said that load can be heaviest during early season snowstorms, when trees still have their leaves. The leaves act like a net to catch the snow. If we get an early October snow, it can be really devastating to the trees, he said. Just as snow is a fixture of winter, so is the salt used to melt it on sidewalks and streets. And that can be harmful to trees. You will see the result of salt in the spring, Andersen said. If they leaf out, they will leaf out with brown leaves that will seem burnt. If you do get salt damage, Lilly said, the best thing is to water and water it and wash it through the soil. Arborists advise that people consider salttolerant trees for areas likely to be exposed to salt. A lot of it is planning your yard, Sherman said. And, theres one more thing: Once the leaves fall, clean up your yard, Sherman said. If the tree was infected with a fungus, the spores can survive the winter and reinfect the tree in the spring, she said.
August is time to start certain plants from seed,including biennials such as foxglove.
Time to think of planting for fall

By Sean Conway
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
For many gardeners, August is a tough time. Temperatures usually hit an annual high, rain is infrequent, and daylight begins to shorten. While some may throw in the towel (or trowel, as it were), those of us who have been at it for a while know that this is the time to start sowing seeds for cool-weather crops. Vegetables that grow best in cool temperatures, such as broccoli, kale and lettuce, can be sown this month so they will be ready to transplant into the garden when temperatures cool down in several weeks. Many gardeners fail to take advantage of a second season in the garden, and thats a shame. Many cool weather crops can be harvested right up until a hard frost. In my zone six garden, spring often progresses rapidly, and cool temperatures are usually short-lived. The opposite, however, is true during the fall months. Evenings begin cooling down as soon as mid- to late August, with daytime temperatures moderating about the same time. By mid- to late August, many vegetables that have been happily growing during the heat of summer begin to slow down and the garden starts looking tired. Rather than leave struggling warm-loving plants such as zucchini, summer squash ,cucumbers or beans growing, I relegate them to the compost pile once their production slows. I recondition my garden soil by adding compost and well-rotted manure. I usually check DIY stores and garden centers for late-summer sales on bagged manure, which is a convenient and cost-effective way to add nutrients back into your soil.
I nd some cool-loving vegetable crops are best sown directly into the ground. Once I have prepared the soil, I sow crops like spinach, beets, radishes and some varieties of lettuce directly into the soil. Larger vegetables like broccoli and kale are sown in ats and transplanted with adequate spacing into rows once they have achieved some size. Vegetables are not the only plants that should be sown in August. Biannual plants should be started from seed now too. Biannual plants, unlike annuals, stay alive through their rst winter, bloom the following spring, set seed then die. Seed germinated now allows the plants plenty of time to grow before winter arrives, and ensures large, healthy plants for next spring. Several years ago, I purchased seed in England of a pure white, unspotted foxglove with exceptionally tall ower stalks. Foxgloves are perfect examples of biennials, and this variety is a showstopper each spring in my woodland garden. After the owers fade, the plants set seed in August. I collect it, germinate it, and plant out several dozen plants by mid fall. The plants go dormant over the winter, and I almost forget they are there until the following spring when the white spires return to light up the garden. Biannual plants are often not available in garden centers because of their growth cycles; there are fewer customers around in the fall to purchase them, so they are seldom grown. These plants are best ordered as seed from catalogs, and their minimal maintenance requirements are well worth the effort. If the August heat has you sitting in the shade, dont give up on your garden, start planning ahead and sow some seeds for the future.

Carpet, the bolder the better,makes comeback

By Melissa Kossler Dutton
After years of being ripped out and kicked to the curb, carpet is making a comeback. And not just the neutral-toned carpets of recent years, but ones that are boldly colored or patterned. The softer, cozier feel of wall-to-wall carpet is appealing to homeowners used to treading on tile and wood, said Emily Morrow, director of color, style and design for Shaw Floors, a company in Dalton, Ga., that specializes in carpet, laminate, tile and hard wood flooring. Theyve experienced those hard surfaces, and they want to surround themselves with the comfort of carpet, she said. While hardwood or tile can be great for entryways or other high traffic areas, some rooms - bedrooms, play rooms, studies and family rooms - cry out for carpeting, said Eric Ross, an interior designer in Franklin, Tenn. Carpet is really trending up, he said. Youre going to see more and more of it. Manufacturers have responded by creating carpets with rich colors, patterns and textures designed to be a focal point, rather than just a neutral backdrop. The new choices are available at a variety of price points. It has gotten exciting again after years of playing it safe, Morrow said. Clients are using carpet to make a statement, agreed Linda Merrill, an interior designer in Duxbury, Mass. If carpet is the right choice for a specific space, they feel freer to pick something a little more exciting, she said. There are a lot of different colors and different options. More vibrant carpets often create a more
customized feel, Merrill said. With the slumping real estate market, homeowners are indulging their personal tastes and worrying less about how their choices will affect the resale value of their home, she said. Some of the over-the-top ideas from television shows also have freed people to experiment more with decorating, she said. And the pervasiveness of patterns and bright colors in house wares and home furnishings in recent years has made people more open to color. We see so much pattern in so many things, she says. Were just bombarded with it. The bold choices signal a shift away from the neutral palette that dominated earlier in the decade, says Annie Elliott, an interior designer in Washington, D.C. In the past several years, weve been moving away from subtle muddy tones to brighter colors and bright patterns, Elliott said. She has found that homeowners sometimes make bold flooring choices because they are less confident decorating their walls. People dont trust themselves to buy art, she said. People are realizing an easier way is using a patterned carpet to enliven a space without putting pressure on the walls. Those who are hesitant to choose a patterned carpet often create an impact with a textured one, said Jennifer Bardsley, an interior designer in Hingham, Mass. Those carpets, created by using yarns of different lengths or densities, can spice up a space and add more interest to a room. Carpets in general make rooms feel warmer, and reduce noise, the designer said. It makes it feel comfortable and cozy and inviting, Bardsley said.
Raise your own pollinators

Youll also need

Water conveniently nearby.The closer you are to a water source,the less theyll have to y and the longer theyll be able to live,Buchanan said. Nectar and pollen-producing plants. Locust, blackberry, tulip poplar, Devils walking stick and sourwood are the sources for some of the worlds most expensive honeys, he said. Clover, milkweed, lemon balm and thistles also are abundant and supply avorful nectars. Adequate space. Bees need enough room to store honey for the winter and rear their young.They dislike disorder or disruption, and will leave the premises if the accommodations are not right, said Charles Walton, who with partner Mike Welsh manages a beekeeping operation near Takoma Park, Md., a Washington suburb. An accepting community.Honeybees are defensive, not aggressive (except for the African variety),and so will not attack unless their hive is threatened,Walton said.Many beekeepers reduce the stinging threat by placing hives near fences or shrubs so the insects are forced to y above where people usually gather. Coaching.Novice beekeepers are advised to spend time at an apiary, join a beekeeping club or take a class.Most states have county agents and Extension entomologists whose responsibilities include beekeeping,the USDA says.
The buzz about honeybees in recent years has been about their vanishing act from gardens and farm elds. But new ranks of backyard beekeepers are trying to ease that scarcity, or at least have enough pollinators to produce a honey of a harvest. Feral bees have pretty much died out, so if you dont have someone with bees nearby, your squash and tomatoes, orchards and nut crops wont get pollinated, said Edd Buchanan, a fourth-generation beekeeper from Black Mountain, N.C. Bees are the necessary germinating link between blossoms and fruit. They pollinate one-third of the worlds produce, a service worth some $70 billion per year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture says. Yet a combination of factors including pesticides, habitat loss, pollution, disease and pests have all but eliminated wild honeybee populations nationwide, along with about 30 percent of the managed honeybee colonies, according to USDA estimates. Enter the more than 211,000 bee hobbyists around the United States. Along with the entertainment value that the insects provide, the beekeepers also harvest honey, pollen and beeswax from their hives. It does pay for itself over a period of time, Buchanan said. With just one hive, you can produce all the honey you want to eat, give some to your neighbors at Christmas plus get your investment back. At least a pound of worker bees and a queen are needed to make a productive apiary, said
Buchanan, who got his start 35 years ago by swapping an old lawnmower for an established hive. There are about 3,500 bees to a pound, he said. Thatll cost you anywhere from $75 to $90. Another way to buy bees is with a nuc, or nucleus hive. That includes a queen, worker bees and a starter brood shipped in a wooden box. Prices generally run $110 to $120. Most are available via mail order, the Internet or from fellow beekeepers. Italian bees (Apis mellifera ligustica) are the favorites, given their reputation for gentleness, cleanliness, disease resistance and energy.

The API scores were taken from the 2011 Growth Academic Performance Index prepared by the California Department of Education in August 2011. API scores range from 200 to 1,000, with 200 being far below basic, 500 being below basic,700 being basic,875 being procient and 1,000 being advanced. The statewide API performance target for all schools is 800. The scores are shown for each district as well as for the individual schools within the district.The rst number is the 2011 API score,the second is the 2010 API base score,the third is the expected growth and the fourth number is the actual growth.Some schools may have anA,B,Cor Din one or more columns.A means the school surpassed the statewide goal last year and wasnt given a goal.B means the school wasnt given a 2010 score. C means a school had signicant demographic changes and does not have growth changes. D is used for districts, which do not receive target information. A * denotation means a school had between 11 to 99 students tested.The last number marks the amount of progress. Lastly, schools or districts that are bolded are in program improvement.

ensure the success of every student, we also acknowledge that they struggle to do so under an outdated system that fails to reect growth in student achievement in meaningful ways that ensure that we are recognizing successful educational programs and properly identifying those that are not. Gains and losses were widespread across San Mateo County district schools. North Star Academy in Redwood City regained its position as the top scoring school in the county with 992. North Elementary, which had edged out the Redwood City school last year, maintained its score of 986. Thirty-two schools in San Mateo County scored over 900 points, none of which were high schools. All schools within the Hillsborough City, Las Lomitas Elementary, Menlo Park City Elementary and Portola Valley Elementary school districts scored over 900. When it comes to high schools, Mills took the top spot for the second year in a row scoring 865 followed by Burlingame with 861, Carlmont in Belmont with 858 and Summit Preparatory in Redwood City with 854. On the other end of the spectrum, Stanford New School High School in Menlo Park took the bottom spot county-wide scoring 606, which came with a 77-point loss from last year. Last year, Gareld Elementary took this spot with the same score. The school this year increased its score by 52 points. Not meeting the standards can mean a loss of funding or control for schools and school districts. These thresholds of understanding will begin to increase next year to meet the requirements of the federal No Child Left Behind Act. At that point, it may become harder for districts and schools to meet the target growth. These objectives increase over time so that, by the 2013-14 school year, 100 percent of students at all schools must score at the procient level or above. Torlakson has requested an exemption from imposing sanctions but has not yet received a response. Schools and districts can enter or continue to be classied as needing program improvement when one or more sub-groups fail to make annual growth goals for two consecutive years. Countywide, eight schools and two districts were added to program improvement: Lipman Middle School in Brisbane; McKinley Elementary in Burlingame; El Granada Elementary; Franklin Delano Roosevelt Elementary in Daly City; Woodrow Wilson

Instead, Crown said Avellone stayed on the Peninsula. Crowne, however, grew worried after her daughter didnt call at all from Redwood House. This is a person who has been attached to my hip all her life, Crowne said. In fact, one of Avellones several distinctive tattoos is a rose on her upper left arm emblazoned with the word Momma. Before coming to the Bay Area, Avellone traveled to visit friends and worked as a receptionist at a tattoo parlor in Chicago. A tattoo of the Chicago skyline stretches across her back, Crown said. Others include
Bayside S.T.E.M. ACADEMY, College Park Elementary, Parkway Heights Middle are in the fth year of program improvement, which requires reorganization a step most of the schools already began. Being in program improvement as well as having a drop in score does not go unnoticed by school ofcials. Jan Christensen, superintendent of the Redwood City Elementary School District, noted while 10 of the districts 16 schools saw increases there were also drops. We are very concerned about these declines, and attribute the drop in achievement at some schools directly to the significant loss of funding we have experienced over the last four years, she one across her chest and a beautiful old-fashioned pin-up girl on her right thigh, Crown said. Avellone might be in San Francisco where she has friends but Crowne said she has yet to connect with one male friend from Chicago with whom shed been hanging out a lot. Avellone is 5 feet tall, weighs 105 pounds and has hazel eyes and dark, curly hair that she recently cut quite short. She may be wearing jeans and a black sweater as that was the clothing Crown said she brought after the move from the hospital. Redwood City police are handling the case and Avellone is also submitted to a national
said in a prepared statement. The district has cut nearly $13 million since the 2007-08 school year which means losing teachers, larger class sizes and reduced library hours. Christensens focus, however is on stretching the money the district does have. Notably, three San Carlos schools along with the district is missing scores. Lynette Hovland, director of curriculum, instruction and accountability, explained there was a glitch in the demographics which will be addressed. Scores should then be released later this school year.

Avellone sounded good and said she was looking forward to her life. Both her parents and psychiatrist believed her, Crown said.

district previously passed two bond measures Measure C, a $207 million bond in 2001, and Measure A, a $468 million bond in 2005. Since 2001, the college district has had a clear vision for updating facilities. Access to millions was lost when state-promised bond funding fell through and investments took a $25 million hit with the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy. Trustees say the new bond will allow the district to nish what it started. Mandelkern added he wanted to see the funds used to bring back a satellite ofce with course offerings on the coastside. Stogner wasnt opposed to the tax but wanted to be sure the need was well researched. He also seeks assurance that the amount requested is for needs, not to complete a wish list. Beyond that, putting it before the voters was fair, Stogner said. Talking about taxpayer-funded projects led to the conversation about two buildings at the College of San Mateo its new wellness center and Building 20 along with the surrounding gardens. Part of the campus wellness center, which opened last year, is an athletic club which the public can pay a membership to use. The district was previously criticized for charging the public to access taxpayer-funded buildings. Stogner questioned charging public groups for access to any portion of the campuses since the schools are funded through taxpayer dollars.

Other candidates, called the idea a way to raise revenue that will continue to support the college. Were looking at other things to increase the enterprise and bring in revenue. Were not sitting back and waiting for things to change in
Sacramento. Were doing things here and now, said Schwarz. Ross agreed being creative in raising rev-
enues is imperative. Miljanich added the facility is more than a club as its a teaching and training facility. Mandelkern noted the membership costs are also competitive. He also saw opening the facilities up as a win for both the district and the public. Building 20 recently made headlines as it, and portions of its surrounding garden, will be uprooted in a bond-funded project. The plan caused controversy on campus, along with a lawsuit, from those wanting to save the garden. While the lawsuit looms, plans to demolish the building for parking and move much of the gardens were approved. The event was criticized by some as an example of lack of communication. Incumbents saw it differently. Each noted the number of meetings held on the topic as an opportunity for dialogue, a desire to work with others, but also a need to meet the needs of all students. They are focusing on a tiny piece. We need to focus on the big picture, said Miljanich. Ross called the building conversation a distraction from real problems like the state not adequately supporting education.
CHANGE
mark. For those at Peninsula, the focus is on the 90-point growth since 2009. Principal Donald Scatena said the staff was excited for the news. They put in so much work. They were condent and students showed improvement, he said. Peninsula High is a continuation school normally used as an alternative for students at risk of not graduating from a traditional comprehensive school. Requirements for graduation remain the same. Located in the hills of San Bruno, Peninsulas been faced with a number of challenges. Drawing from students throughout the district creates transportation and scheduling issues. It can also make establishing a community inclusive of families difcult. And, in 2008, the schools credit recovery program came under attack. Scatena attributed the ability to make change from having district support. He joined the school only a couple of years ago from a position at San Mateo High School and immediately noticed a lack of technology. Access to computers and interactive smart boards were increased allowing teachers to take different approaches with students. Emphasis was also added on revamping the curriculum and credit recovery system to alleviate
previous issues. Students can now, for example, go online to make up credits often time on campus under the supervision of a teacher in case there is a question. Also, students are assessed when they start in terms of reading. If they need help in reading, an intervention class is offered before a student works independently online, said Scatena. Teachers have noticed a difference in students and achievement as a result of having technology in the classroom. English teacher Nina Finci joined the school about eight years ago. When she started, Finci used a traditional overhead projector in her class which was shared with others. Now, she uses a smart board that links with a computer and allows users to draw, move and enlarge items on the screen. Now topics that were a bit boring are more interactive and dynamic, Finci said. Finci has also noticed students meeting the higher expectations. In previous years, students were coming to class without a writing utensil, for example. Now they are more academically prepared. Getting students to support the idea of higher standards and using technology was required for success. Economics teacher Mat McDermott has watched students take pride in their own performance and others, who didnt put in the effort previously, recognize that mistake. McDermott added having students consistently enrolled in a class through the semester has allowed him to really explore a topic rather than explain some-
thing like supply and demand every six weeks. He can now build on basic topics. Zammit attributed the school being a smaller community as an asset in the effort to support students and be sure they are meeting challenges. Assistant Principal Bettina Graf said the technology is really about access for all students. What it says to our students is we have enough faith in their success were going to give them the tools to get there, she said. Changes have been successful so far and there are more to come. Bus schedules were changed to allow students to stay after and get extra help or meet with teachers during ofce hours. This year, the school adopted a more traditional schedule with two days of a longer block-like schedule and the others with the normal seven-period schedule. Implementing the block schedule will give science classes the chance to explore labs in just under an hour and a half instead of 40 to 45 minutes, Scatena said. Phone calls home also take on a new meaning. Weekly, teachers make a handful of phone calls, at least three of which need to be to a students parent to compliment the work. The hope is to create a more interactive dialog between school and home. These are all just steps. Scatena envisions growing career training programs that are started and, hopefully, having students choose to attend Peninsula for those options.

Excellent influences will be working on your behalf in the year ahead, trying to improve your material position in life. You must chip in and help things along, however. The more you do, the more your needs will be met.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The funds that will enable you to get something that youve wanted for a long time but always felt was too expensive are apt to finally become available. With the extra cash in your pocket, you can go for it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Whether or not you realize it, your influence over your peer group is stronger than
you think. Others will be easily swayed by the example you set, and theyll want to emulate your behavior. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Keep a matter that is of a sensitive, secretive nature between yourself and closely involved parties. For best results in resolving the matter, you need to maintain its exclusivity. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- When a close friend tells you something in confidence, he or she might leave it to your discretion as to whether or not another pal should be let in on the secret. Choose wisely. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A material desire could end up functioning as a powerful motivator for you. If you really want something badly enough, you will be capable of figuring out how to acquire it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Its more important
for you to take a long-range view of things where your self-interests are concerned, instead of worrying about how to get what you want right now. Give yourself time. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Youre very blessed, because someone who loves you is aware of your present wants, and will knock themselves out trying to figure out ways to acquire them for you. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Help with a critical yet perplexing decision is on its way. Listen carefully to the new alternatives being presented -- one of them holds the key to your dilemma. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Perform to the very best of your abilities without thinking about whats in it for you. If you do a good job, the accolades will manifest.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Youve heard it a thousand times: relax and just be yourself when dealing with others, be they bigwigs or small fry. Whatever charisma you possess cannot be forced, so play it cool, Jack. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- As soon as you get everyone in accord regarding a family matter, put the wheels in motion and youll get good results. Sit on things and youll waste another toothsome opportunity. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Dont base an important decision solely on its material aspects. Itll be important to put credence in other factors, such as principles and ethics, as well.

Dueling messages in Libya Panel: Widespread waste One Gadhafi son vows no surrender to rebels,other urges talks and fraud in war spending
By Ben Hubbard and Maggie Michael
TRIPOLI, Libya Two men claiming to be Moammar Gadhas sons made conicting appeals from hiding Wednesday night, with one of them calling for talks with rebel leaders and the other urging the regimes loyalists to ght to the death. The dueling messages reected the growing turmoil in Gadhas inner circle on the eve of the 42nd anniversary of his rise to power. This year, the dictator is a fugitive from opposition ghters who have seized most of the country in a six-month civil war. Now, they say theyre hot on his trail. The rebels are pooling tips about Moammar Gadhafis whereabouts from captured regime ghters and others, and believe he is most likely
no longer in Tripoli, said Abdel Hakim Belhaj, the rebels military chief in the capital. Rebel forces have been advancing toward three regime strongholds: the town of Sirte, Gadhas hometown, as well as the towns of Bani Walid and Sabha, the latter hundreds of miles south of the capital of Tripoli. There has been speculation that Gadha is hiding in one of them. In telephone calls to Arab TV stations within minutes of each other Wednesday night, two men claiming to be Gadhas sons sent messages to the Libyan people. A man identifying himself as Seif al-Islam Gadha urged his fathers supporters to ght the rebels day and night. He told the Syrian-based Al-Rai TV station that residents of Bani Walid agreed that we are going to die on our land.
He said NATO carried out several airstrikes in Bani Walid that killed people. All move right now, said Seif alIslam, once considered the moderate face of the Gadha regime and the leaders heir apparent. Attack the rats, he said, referring to the rebels. He said he was calling from a suburb of Tripoli and that his father is ne. The caller dismissed comments by Belhaj that another Gadha son, alSaadi, was negotiating the terms of his surrender. Seif al-Islam said his brother was under pressure, in part out of concern for his family. In a separate phone call to the AlArabiya TV station, a man identifying himself as al-Saadi said he was ready to negotiate with the rebels to stop the bloodshed.
By Richard Lardner
WASHINGTON The U.S. has lost billions of dollars to waste and fraud in Iraq and Afghanistan and stands to repeat that in future wars without big changes in how the government awards and manages contracts for battlefield support and reconstruction projects, independent investigators said Wednesday. The Wartime Contracting Commission urged Congress and the Obama administration to quickly put in place its recommendations to overhaul the contracting process and increase accountability. The commission even suggested that the joint House-Senate debt reduction committee take a close look at the proposals.
What youre asking for is more of the same, said Dov Zakheim, a commission member and the Pentagon comptroller during President George W. Bushs rst term. More waste. More fraud. More abuse. The bipartisan commission, created by Congress in 2008, estimated that at least $31 billion and as much as $60 billion has been lost in Iraq and Afghanistan over the past decade due to lax oversight of contractors, poor planning, inadequate competition and corruption. I personally believe that the number is much, much closer to $60 billion, Zakheim said. Yet new legislation incorporating the changes could prove difcult with Republicans and Democrats divided over the best way to reduce the decit.
