By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Caltrains streak of increased rid-
ership has hit 24 straight months
now and the numbers for July were
the highest ever for the month.
In June, Caltrain broke an all-time
ridership record when an average of
more than 50,000 riders a day
hopped on the local commuter train,
the most in its 150-year history.
The numbers were slightly down
in July but still high enough to
break a monthly ridership record
which has also sent farebox revenue
soaring.
Compared to last year, total
ridership in July climbed 12 per-
cent from 1,166,044 riders to
1,305,970 riders.
The average weekday ridership
climbed 10.2 percent in July com-
pared to last year from 44,127 to
48,609, according to a staff report to
the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers
Board that was heard at yesterdays
meeting.
Total farebox revenue for the
month also climbed 16.8 percent in
July compared to last year from
$4,996,833 to $5,836,357, accord-
ing to the staff report.
Average Caltrain shuttle ridership
is also up 20.5 percent in July com-
pared to last year from 6,228 to
7,506.
On-time performance for July
was also better than last year from
92.1 percent to 93.5 percent.
The scal year for Caltrain started
July 1.
The rail agencys annual budget is
about $111.4 million.
Starting Oct. 1, Caltrain will add
six trains to its weekday schedule.
In addition to the extra trains, a few
will also make one additional stop
Caltrain has best July ever
Ridership surge hits 24 straight months, shuttle use also up 20.5 percent

The Battle of Borodino took place dur-
ing the Napoleonic Wars as French
troops clashed with Russian forces out-
side Moscow; although France won a
short-term victory, Russia was able to
ultimately drive out Napoleons
invaders.
When you have a great and difcult

Lovebirds rescued
after elaborate proposal
CASEVILLE, Mich. Two
Michigan sheriffs deputies can expect
wedding invitations in their future for
rescuing a couple who became stranded
on an island during a meticulously
planned, elaborate marriage proposal
that apparently accounted for everything
but bad weather.
Nathan Bluestein, of Northville, and
May Gorial, of Madison Heights, set out
by canoe Saturday in Wild Fowl Bay
near Caseville, about 110 miles north of
Detroit, the Huron County sheriffs
department said. Gorial, 32, accepted
the proposal, but strong wind and waves
kept them from returning to shore.
Bluestein, 27, told the Detroit Free
Press that he had been planning the pro-
posal for months. He tucked a message
in a bottle inside a lunch bag that he
brought on the trip.
I made sure that she never could
touch the lunch bag, he said I had it
around my arm the whole time.
Inside the bottle was a sheet of paper,
soaked in tea and burned around the
edges, with a poem written in French.
Gorial, a French teacher at Bishop Foley
Catholic High School in Madison
Heights, began reading and translating
the poem before nding a proposal writ-
ten in English on another piece of paper.
The way I look at it ... shes my best
friend and the love of my life,
Bluestein said. The two talked and
snapped pictures, and didnt realize they
were too far from land. They ended up
on North Island and the sheriffs depart-
ment sent the two deputies by boat from
Caseville. Bluestein and Gorial dont
have a wedding date set, but the deputies
will denitely be invited to the event.
If it wasnt for them, we wouldnt
have seen the wedding day, Gorial said.
Chairs placed by
Eastwood cutout on trail
GLENDALE These days, wherev-
er you see Clint Eastwood, an empty
chair is sure to follow. Even if youre on
a hike.
A life-sized cutout of a cowboy
Eastwood has stood on a trail overlook-
ing a Southern California freeway for
months, but on Tuesday a pair of chairs
were next to him, one also a cardboard
cutout, the other an actual wooden chair.
Theyre a clear reference to
Eastwoods interaction with an imagi-
nary President Obama in an empty chair
at the Republican National Convention
last week.
Eastwood and the chair have fueled a
social media meme thats shown no
signs of slowing.
An artist erected the cutouts of
Eastwood and other Hollywood western
heroes along the trail in Glendale, but its
not clear where the chairs came from.
Press watchdog: No
probe over Prince Harry pics
LONDON Britains press watch-
dog said Thursday it will not for now
open an investigation
into a tabloids pub-
lication of nude pho-
tos of Prince Harry
because royal offi-
cials have not led a
formal complaint.
The Sun was
Britains only
national newspaper
to carry the pictures
of Harry frolicking
in the nude with an unidentied woman
in his Las Vegas hotel room after the
images appeared online and drew inter-
national attention.
The Press Complaints Commission
said it received around 3,800 complaints
after The Sun published the pictures, but
royal ofcials were not among those l-
ing.
The commission said Thursday that it
is talking with Harrys representatives
but since they have not yet formally
complained it would be inappropriate
to open an investigation at this point as
any probe without consent would have
the potential to itself pose an intrusion.
When asked about a possible formal
complaint, Harrys ofce said it is still
considering matters and will make a
decision in our own time.

A 64-year-old house cleaner who allegedly
torched an SUV in the parking lot of the
Department of Motor Vehicles earlier this
year because he was angry about not reclaim-
ing his towed vehicle is not mentally t for
trial, according to court-appointed doctors.
Hugo Carranza has already pleaded not
guilty to arson and vandalism but criminal
proceedings are now on hold indefinitely
because the doctors concluded he is not com-
petent to aid in his own defense. He returns to
court Oct. 25 for formal placement in a state
mental facility where he will be treated until
doctors decide his competency has been
restored.
Competency is a persons ability to aid in
his or her own defense while sanity is a per-
sons mental state at the time of an alleged
incident.
Prosecutors say Carranza, whose vehicle
had been towed by San Francisco police last
October due to an expired
registration, reportedly
paid fines at the DMV
ofce but could not get his
car released. On April 23,
he allegedly lled a bottle
with oil or gas, randomly
selected what he thought
was an employees vehicle
and poured the liquid over
two tires before lighting
them on re.
The 2008 Cadillac Escalade was scorched
and the ames also damaged a Honda in an
adjacent space.
A witness reported seeing Carranza walk
away from the scene and the arson was
reportedly caught on tape. At the scene,
Carranza walked up to a police lieutenant and
said Im the one who did it, according to
prosecutors.
Carranza remains in custody in lieu of
$100,000 bail.

Bond refinancing saves San Carlos schools $1.4M
The San Carlos School District recently locked in signicant
savings of over $1.4 million for local taxpayers by renancing
Measure E bonds previously approved by voters in November
2005.
The savings from this renancing signicantly exceeded the
projection back in April when the district believed it could save
more than $1.1 million. The district had originally issued $32.8
million of bonds in May 2006 to make repairs and improvements
at each of the districts school campuses. The district replaced a
portion of the 2006 bonds which had an average interest rate
of 4.97 percent with new bonds at an all-inclusive interest rate
of 3.11 percent. There were no costs to the district or to taxpay-
ers to complete this transaction, according to the district.
Interest rates are near historic lows and we pursued the oppor-
tunity to lower the tax burden on our community, said
Superintendent Dr. Craig Baker. Our community has been
extremely supportive of our educational mission, and as stewards
of their dollars, we are excited to be able to provide these signif-
icant savings.
All of the savings from the renancing will be realized by dis-
trict taxpayers in the form of lower property tax bills over the
next 18 years, beginning with the 2013-14 property tax bill,
according to the district.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
An unincorporated Redwood City
man admitted hitting his teenage neigh-
bors poodle in the head with a piece of
brick because he was angry, according to
a sheriffs deputy who recalled the
exchange during a preliminary hearing
yesterday.
Marcos Montano-Topete, 32, was held
to answer on all charges of animal cruel-
ty after the hearing during which the
chief veterinarian for the Peninsula
Humane Society testied about dogs
multiple skull fractures.
Prosecutors say
Topete approached
his 16-year-old
neighbor on March
26 and told the girl he
was sick of the dog
coming onto his
property and had
struck it.
The 5-year-old
poodle, Globsis, was
alive but so injured it
could not move and was later eutha-
nized. A brick was found near the ani-
mal. During the hearing yesterday, the
sheriffs deputy who responded to the
scene testified that Montano-Topete
admitted his anger and his actions, said
Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen
Guidotti.
Defense attorney Tom Deremigio has
previously said his client was defending
his animal from the poodle which had
impregnated his dog on two occasions.
Montano-Topete is free from custody
on a $10,000 bail bond. He returns to
court Sept. 20 to enter a Superior Court
plea and possibly set a trial date.

attorney was reached and said he
thought the matter was set for a dif-
ferent time. A new hearing date will
be set Friday morning. Meanwhile,
Tatro remains free on $25,000 bail
which could be forfeited if he fails
to appear again.
Tatro has
pleaded not
guilty to six
felony counts of
sexual penetra-
tion, two counts
of sending harm-
ful matter with
an intent to
seduce and two
counts of com-
municating with a minor to set up a
lewd act.
The 17-year-old girl allegedly
involved said the inappropriate
behavior took place this past year
and police began their investigation
May 14 after school ofcials noti-
ed them. Tatro had worked at the
school for one year as a water polo
and swim coach, according to
police. San Mateo police arrested
Tatro in June.

MARTINEZ The suspect
accused of fatally shooting a
California Highway Patrol ofcer
during a traffic stop on a San
Francisco Bay area freeway had
been treated for mental health prob-
lems, his father said.
Doctors diagnosed Christopher
Boone Lacy as bipolar and put him
on lithium during a hospital stay
after he suffered a psychotic break
while attending San Francisco State
University, Lacys father said.
He was, like, hallucinating and,
and he was very paranoid, Craig
Lacy told the station Wednesday.
He said he and his wife noticed
that their son began having mental
issues when he was growing up in
Oregon. Christopher Lacy eventual-
ly graduated with a masters degree
in computer sci-
ence from S.F.
State before
moving to a
duplex in
Sausalito.

Tuesday on

Moments later, another CHP ofcer
shot and killed Lacy at the scene.
Youngstrom was shot in the neck
and had his spinal cord severed. The
37-year-old was pronounced dead
Wednesday at a local hospital after
being taken off life support.
Flags were lowered across the
state in honor of the fallen ofcer as
investigators searched Thursday for
a motive. Lacy had a drunken driv-
ing arrest in Marin County in 2006,
but no criminal record beyond that.
Lacy was pulled over for driving
with an obstructed license plate.
Video from a CHP dashboard cam-
era showed Youngstrom briefly
speaking with him when Lacy
pulled out a gun and opened re.
Investigators found a loaded
semi-automatic handgun, two
loaded ammunition magazines and a
knife in the Jeep. Investigators later
seized six computers and several
hard drives from his home.
Neighbor Howard Braden, 64,
described Lacy as smart and easy-
going. He said Lacy told him he
found programming work that could
last up to three months.
There were no red ags, Braden
said. No one knew he had any guns
or weapons.

Two masked gunmen got away
with an undisclosed amount of cash
from the Bank of America when it
opened Wednesday morning, but no
one was injured in the robbery. No
arrests had been made as of

West Virginian is the third person to
die so far from a rodent-borne ill-
ness linked to some tent cabins at
Yosemite National Park that has

Nestled in the Hillsborough knolls, an
ancient Japanese tea garden has ourished for
more than 100 years. In the early 1900s,
Japanese-born landscape designer Baron
Makota Hagiwara created Higurashi-En,
the Garden Worthy of a Day of
Contemplation.
This San Mateo County treasure and the
Japanese tea garden in Golden Gate Park are
the only surviving examples of Hagiwaras
work. Influential in Japanese design,
Hagiwara created the three-quarter-acre
Hillsborough garden that is now a nationally
registered historical place.
The garden boasts more than 500 plant
species, including 19 different types of maple
trees; a Himalayan spruce and a 200-year-old
ve needle Mikado pine tree, both found
nowhere else in the United States. A 100,000-
gallon koi pond and a 400-year-old bridge
create a spectacular centerpiece, said current
owner Joan Paladini, 76.
Joan and her husband, Achille Paladini,
became acquainted with the property during a
San Mateo Arboretum Societys garden tour.
This Saturday marks the arboretum societys
37th annual garden tour where attendees will
have access to the historical Higurashi-En.
Garden enthusiast Maxine Terner, 69, is the
arboretum societys chair of publicity. Terner
and many other volunteers are the backbone
of the arboretum society, which is responsible
for improving and maintaining its location at
San Mateo Central Park. The Kohl
Pumphouse, built in the early 1900s, contin-
ues to irrigate the park and serves as the soci-
etys headquarters, Terner said.
The arboretum society serves the public and
the horticulture community. Free educational
seminars are on the rst Sundays of every
month. Experts assist with planting queries,
pruning instructions, earth-friendly gardening
practices, water conservation and more.
During the tour, master gardeners will hold a
plant clinic where people can bring their
sickly plant specimens and receive green
thumb advice, Terner said.
This Saturday between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.,
supporters will get an exclusive look into
exemplary local gardens. The San Mateo Fall
Garden Tour and Plant Sale is a self-guided
tour and the societys main fundraiser.
Attendees will be given a map to six gorgeous
private gardens within Hillsborough, San
Mateo and Burlingame, Terner said.
Its really an opportunity for anyone inter-
ested in gardening and what it takes to make
some of the beautiful gardens theyre going to
be looking at, Terner said.
Each garden is unique in design, plant
species, character and ornament. Others
include: Native Hillside Retreat, Purring
Waters, Backyard Retreat, Reflections on
Roses and Rustic Whimsy.
Each location will have additional special
attractions including plein air painters, musi-
cians, food, backyard chicken coops, rose
experts and more. Various horticulture
experts, including landscape architects,
designers and garden coaches, will be on
standby to freely assist visitors with questions
or suggestions, Terner said.
Central Park is listed as the seventh garden
where there will be food, wine tasting and
plants for sale. By lling out a survey, atten-
dees will be entered into a rafe where they
can win several prizes including original
orchid arrangements, Terner said.
The arboretum society hopes to inspire peo-
ple and become more involved with the
organization. It takes tremendous cooperation
and dedication in developing and maintaining
a garden, especially the Central Park garden.
But being involved has its rewards for Terner.
You get an opportunity to both learn a lot
about a subject youre interested in, as well as
giving back to the community in a very easy
and satisfying way, Terner said.
Saturdays garden tour will still be enjoy-
able for those who dont like to get their hands
dirty. The Japanese tea garden is highlighted
on the tour and for good reason. Walking
across the 400-year-old bridge to eternal
tranquility around the ancient koi pond and
surrounded by trees that predate most of the
town, is an experience unlike any other,
Paladini said.
You walk through the gates and youre in a
different world, theres peace, tranquility and
a beauty about it, Paladini said.
The Garden Tour is this Saturday from 10
a.m-4 p.m. at locations disclosed only to tick-
et buyers. Pre-sale tickets are $35 and $40 the
day of the event.
For more information about buying tickets,

Society visit sanmateoarboretum.org. The San
Mateo Arboretum Society is located at San
Mateo Central Park, at 101 Ninth Ave.

CONCORD, N.H. Republican
presidential candidate Mitt Romney on
Thursday defended his decision not to
discuss the Afghanistan war in his con-
vention speech. He said he didnt plan to
watch President Barack Obamas con-
vention address but offered some advice,
saying Obama should discuss promises
he has already made instead of offering
new ones.
As Obama prepared to deliver his
acceptance speech at the Democratic
National Convention in Charlotte, N.C.,
the Republican nominee stopped to visit
veterans as he drove from an advisers
home in Vermont to his own estate on
Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire.
Asked by a reporter why he decided not
to discuss the Afghanistan war on his
partys biggest stage last week, Romney
pointed to an address he gave to the
American Legion the night before as
evidence of his commitment to the
armed forces.
The president was also invited to the
American Legion and he was too busy to
go. It was during my convention,
Romney said, military veterans standing
around him. I went to the American
Legion, described my views with
regards to our military, my commitment
to our military, my commitment to our
men and women in uniform.
Romney was the first Republican
nominee since 1952 to not mention war
during his convention speech. He ew to
Indianapolis the day before his address
to the GOP convention in Tampa, Fla., to
speak to the veterans organization.
Romneys omission of Afghanistan in
his Tampa remarks reected weak public
support for the Afghanistan war, fatigue
over a decade of terrorism fears and the
central role of the economy in the cam-
paign. But it was still a remarkable shift
in tone for a party that, even in times of
peace, has used the specter of war to call
for greater military spending and tough
foreign policy.
Romneys remarks Thursday came
during a brief stop to greet veterans who
were calling other New Hampshire resi-
dents on the GOP candidates behalf.
Romney defends Afghanistan omission
Not heard in Charlotte:
TARP, stimulus, climate
By Jim Kuhnhenn and Ken Thomas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLOTTE, N.C. They are the missing pages of a
convention story line, ideas and initiatives once prominently
featured in President Barack Obamas agenda.
Climate change. Economic stimulus. The massive bank
bailout known as TARP. The stimulus and the bailout remain
politically poisonous while regulatory remedies for climate
change have receded as a priority in a poor economy.
All three were central elements of either Obamas last cam-
paign or his rst years in ofce. But at the Democratic
National Convention, they barely rate a mention, even as they
complement or undergird some of the presidents top policy
goals: shoring up the economy, reversing a nancial crisis and
achieving energy independence.
Those are the most obvious pieces wiped away from the
Democrats image-making this week.
Some initial blank spots, however, were ultimately lled.
Convention delegates had to hurriedly insert references to
God and Jerusalem in the party platform after their omission
threatened to become politically explosive. Nudged by
Obama, party ofcials pushed through a reference to workers
and their God-given potential and restored language from
the 2008 platform asserting that Jerusalem is the capital of
Israel.
Other issues werent given a second thought.
For a party that once declared a war on poverty, the poor
received little mention. It took former President Bill Clinton to
address the plight of the needy, not with a renewed call to help
them but to decry Republican measures he said would hurt the
poor and their children. There also was virtual silence on gun
control, an issue that attracted attention after recent mass
shootings but that has bedeviled Democrats since a 1994 crime
bill many say cost them congressional seats. Delegates were
reminded of the cost of gun violence, however, when Gabrielle
Giffords, the former Democratic congresswoman who was
shot in an attack in her Arizona district in early 2011, made a
moving appearance on stage to deliver the Pledge of
Allegiance.

WASHINGTON The U.S. health
care system squanders $750 billion a
year roughly 30 cents of every med-
ical dollar through unneeded care,
byzantine paperwork, fraud and other
waste, the influential Institute of
Medicine said Thursday in a report that
ties directly into the presidential cam-
paign.
President Barack Obama and
Republican Mitt Romney are accusing
each other of trying to slash Medicare
and put seniors at risk. But the counter-
intuitive nding from the report is that
deep cuts are possible without rationing,
and a leaner system may even produce
better quality.
Health care in America presents a
fundamental paradox, said the report
from an 18-member panel of prominent
experts, including doctors, business peo-
ple, and public ofcials.

PITTSBURGH The Flight 93
National Memorial in southwestern
Pennsylvania is holding four days of
special programs leading up to the
11th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist
attacks.
On Saturday at 1 p.m., a panel will
examine how children experienced
9/11 and expressed their feelings
through letters and art. Mary
Margaret Kerr, a professor of child
psychiatry at the University of
Pittsburgh, is one of the scheduled
panelists.
We are struck by how hopeful the
children are. There are messages of
unity and hope for the future, Kerr
said, though the children also tried to
express their sadness and sympathy
for people who lost loved ones that
day.
Another Saturday panel will fea-
ture television, newspaper, and radio
journalists who led the rst dis-
patches from the crash site near
Shanksville, about 75 miles southeast
of Pittsburgh. That begins at 3 p.m.
On Sunday at 1 p.m., members of
FBI investigation teams who worked
at the crash site will discuss their
work. At 3 p.m., people who were in
Washington, D.C. on 9/11 will
describe their experiences.
Numerous other events are sched-
uled during the four days, including
an array of 40 candle lanterns, a read-
ing of the names of the 40 passengers
and crew who died and musical per-
formances.

Letters to the editor
The Los Angeles Times
O
ne of Gov. Jerry Browns budget-
cutting moves this year was to end
the Healthy Families insurance pro-
gram for low-income children and cover
them instead through Medi-Cal, the states
version of Medicaid. Now, at the very end of
the legislative session, a bipartisan group of
lawmakers is pushing to restore the program
and boost its funding. Although were skepti-
cal of 11th hour bills, we agree that Healthy
Families should be reinstated.
Healthy Families is Californias version of
the State Childrens Health Insurance
Program, which Congress created in 1997 to
provide coverage for low-income children
whose parents werent poor enough to quali-
fy for Medicaid. While Medicaid typically
extends only to families earning no more
than the federal poverty line, Healthy
Families cutoff is two-and-a-half times that
amount, or about $58,000 a year for a family
of four. California has the most children in
the program by far more than 1.7 million
as of 2010, almost twice as many as the state
with the second highest number, Texas.
The Brown administration argues that
moving Healthy Families kids into Medi-Cal
will save the state up to $72 million a year,
largely because the state pays doctors signi-
cantly less in Medi-Cal than in Healthy
Families. Medi-Cal also provides better cov-
erage for some kinds of treatment, such as
mental health care, with lower premiums.
But those advantages are illusory the
states low rates have driven so many doctors
and hospitals out of Medi-Cal that its
becoming increasingly difcult for patients to
obtain treatment, particularly in rural areas.
The shift may also cost the state more than
it saves. The federal government covered
two-thirds of the cost of Healthy Families,
but pays for only half of Medi-Cal. In addi-
tion, Healthy Families was nanced in part
by a tax on Medi-Cal managed-care plans.
That tax which was expected to bring in
about $180 million this year and signicantly
more in future years expired at the end of
June, and Republicans have refused to pro-
vide the votes needed to renew it unless
Healthy Families is restored.
The biggest problem with folding Healthy
Families into Medi-Cal is that it forces hun-
dreds of thousands of children to change
insurers and doctors just before the federal
healthcare reform law provides new ways for
their parents to receive coverage. Most of
those parents will be obtaining coverage
from private insurers through a subsidized
insurance exchange, not from Medi-Cal. As a
result, children and their parents would be
getting their healthcare from different pro-
grams, in many cases with separate networks
of doctors and hospitals. That makes little
sense. Lawmakers should preserve Healthy
Families along with the tax on managed-care
plans at least until the major changes
wrought by the federal law are in place.
Getting it right
Editor,
I read the guest perspective by Paul Kiraly
(A youth perspective of the RNC from the
Sept. 6 edition of the Daily Journal) and
thought, it is so refreshing to have someone
young who understands life in America for
what it has always been about.
I talk politics with those I disagree with
rarely anymore, because it is a futile waste of
time. However, young people are more open
to things without regard to bigotry and tend
to have a more honest approach to dialogue
rather than dissent. That is if they havent
already been corrupted by high school teach-
ers and college professors bent on pushing
their liberal agendas on minds that are more
easily manipulated.
Gosh, am I better citizen for volunteer-
ing to paint public picnic tables or am I a
better citizen when I build a business on
solid fundamental truths rather than a histori-
cally failed ideology? This is not a question,
it is to prove that if you can build a business,
make sure to keep the government largely out
of your pocket. You have a cleaner, more sat-
ised populous than you would have with the
government promised land. This kid has got
it right.

A fresh perspective
Editor,
Thank you for having the courage to pres-
ent the guest perspective, A Youth
Perspective of the RNC from the Sept. 6
edition of the Daily Journal, even though it
may not be a very popular or wise thing to
do in this city/state.
The author, 15-year-old Paul Kiraly, should
be commended for taking the time to experi-
ence rst-hand what truth there is instead
of just believing what the media wants him
to believe.
What caught my attention in particular was
the authors afrmation that too many of
Californias youth think Obama is good
because he wants change, but when asked
What exactly is that change? the answer is
always, I dont know.
Enough said!

Dont get it
Editor,
Rick Zobeleins (Stop whining letter,
from the Sept. 5 edition of the Daily
Journal), and other Stop whining letter
writers, just dont get it.
Its not only that Mitt Romney didnt, and
doesnt, pay the same percentage of income
taxes as the average American, its what that
means to the American people. It means that
Romney isnt one of us, so how can he relate
to us, the average Americans, and tell us he
knows what we need in a president? It means
that Romney is hiding something when he
doesnt reveal more of his income tax
returns. He says, trust me, but we cant.
Romney also hides his money in off-shore
accounts, just to avoid paying taxes. What
Zobelein doesnt understand is that taxes pay
for our government, and they also pay for our
investments in our own country, including
infrastructures like freeways, water systems,
streets, hospitals, etc. With Romney hiding
his money off shore, that tax money from
him (and other millionaires) is not reinvested
in our own country. In other words, Romney
wants to use our highways, airports and
streets, but he doesnt want to pay for them.
He wants the rest of us to pay for his usage.
Mr. Zobelein doesnt get this, and I thought
everyone got this. Its not rocket science.

Women in the services
Editor,
The history column by Darold Fredricks on
women in the services was very interesting
(Women in the services World War II in
the Aug. 27. edition of the Daily Journal). It
did leave out one very important group:
Coast Guard womens reserve (also known as
SPARS). I doubt if many people realize that
the men of the Coast Guard were very much
involved overseas in the landings of ghting
personnel all over the world as well as many
other activities away from the U.S. coast.
The SPARS freed them to do this. Dorothy
Stratton, who had become the rst dean of
women at Purdue, joined the WAVES in
1942. Shortly after, she was called to
Washington, D.C. to become director of the
CGWR. My sister was in the second group
of ofcers and was commissioned an Ensign
on March 25, l943. The Coast Guard now
has many women in all ranks and areas of
responsibility following the Coast Guard
motto: semper paratus (always ready).

distractions
T
his week, someone in the newsroom
asked if Mitt Romneys campaign slo-
gan Keep America American was
really used by the Ku Klux Klan. The question
was surprising, startling really, since I hadnt
heard Romney use the slogan, had never seen
the slogan, couldnt think of what his slogan
actually was right
away (its
Believe in
America), and
thought Keep
America
American would
be a really stupid
slogan because it
doesnt make any
sense. I mean,
what is American?
Its all of us, and it
is always chang-
ing.
So a quick
research session
revealed Keep America American was indeed
a slogan used by the Klan and it was not a
Romney slogan, though he reportedly said last
year he wanted to keep America America. Not
really sure what that means either. But, I, too,
would like for the United States to remain the
United States. Does anyone else want anything
different?
Seems the accusation was making its rounds
on Facebook and it popped up on the news-
rooms radar because of that.
It wasted a few minutes of everyones time.
But isnt that what this campaign season has
been all about? Who can come up with the best
Gotcha! moment? I normally relish presiden-
tial campaigns because it allows for a full vet-
ting of our nations current policies with anoth-
er option. It also reveals the best and worst of
all us. But this one, it appears, is simply reveal-
ing the worst. Not that John Kerry/George W.
Bush was all that exciting, but at least the dis-
tractions (swiftboating) were not the norm. In
2008, the primaries were more open-ended and
you had Hillary versus Barack and McCain and
everyone else (including Romney). There was a
sense that this one meant something, regardless
of what side you were on.
This year, you have accusations about Paul
Ryans marathon time, wonderment why
Obama moved his speech inside, commentators
getting red for strange and inappropriate
remarks, a peanut-throwing incident, John
Burtons Goebbels comment, Clint Eastwood
and the empty chair. Drudgery.
Dont get me wrong. I recognize there is a
history of unusual campaign tactics in the
United States. After all, the federalists cheerful-
ly circulated a story in which Thomas Jefferson
had died when he was running against John
Adams in 1800. News was exceedingly slower
then, and it turned out someone else by that
name had died at Montecito and that the vice
president was still very much alive. And who
could forget Willie Horton, or George Dukakis
in the tank?
The problem, it seems, is the immediacy of
Facebook and other social media. Just a few
moments after Romneys announcement of
Paul Ryan as his vice presidential candidate, a
local elected ofcial felt the need to post on
Facebook an idea that Ryan wanted school
children to work in coal mines, or something to
that effect. Really?
But there is hope. A recent Daily Journal poll
showed that a majority of respondents who
selected one option (rather than none of the
above or all of the above) get most of their
information on which to base their vote for
president from newspapers, followed by cable
news commentary, then television news. Only 1
percent said they get their information from
watching the national conventions, and none,
not one person, said they got information from
Facebook and other social media.
And so I remain hopeful that substance will
win out over nonsense. Now that the conven-
tions are over, perhaps the debates may provide
an opportunity for the candidates to speak
about the issues which are important to us all,
whether we as a nation know it or not. And the
Daily Journal will put coverage of those
debates front and center.

NEW YORK The last time the
stock market was this high, the Great
Recession had just started, and stocks
were pointed toward a headlong descent.
But on Thursday, the Dow Jones
industrial average hit its highest mark
since December 2007, and the Standard
& Poors 500 index soared to its highest
level since January 2008 in a rally that
seemed destined to mark a milestone:
American stocks have come almost all
the way back.
A long-anticipated plan to support
struggling countries in the European
Union provided the necessary jolt, and
the gains were extraordinarily broad. All
but 13 stocks in the S&P index were up.
European markets surged, too.
Theres just a sea of green, said JJ
Kinahan, TD Ameritrades chief deriva-
tives strategist. Its pretty fun.
At the start of 2008, the U.S. economy
was already a month into recession,
though most people scarcely knew it at
the time. The S&P had recently hit an
all-time high, and the unemployment
rate was 5 percent, compared with the
current 8.3 percent.
Then, in March 2008, the investment
bank Bear Stearns collapsed under the
weight of bad mortgage bets, and
investors began to sell. In September, the
full nancial crisis took hold as Lehman
Brothers filed for bankruptcy, banks
stopped lending to each other and
investors began dumping stocks in
earnest.
By March 2009, the S&P had dropped
57 percent from its high to hit a 12-year
low of 676.
Since then, the index has been on an
impressive if often bumpy climb.
Helping to power it was unprecedented
support from the Federal Reserve, which
critics say has reignited a dangerous
gambling spirit among professional
investors, and record prots at big U.S.
companies.
Although stocks have rebounded, the
broader economy is still lagging. But
Barry Knapp, head of U.S. equity strate-
gy at Barclays Capital, said stocks tend
to anticipate the future economy rather
than reecting current conditions. So the
signs are good.
It can be a misleading forecasting
tool, but sometimes its telling you
something significant, he said. Its
entirely possible the stock market is
telling us that there is a better economic
environment out there.

SANTA MONICA Amazon
unveiled four new Kindle Fire tablet
computers on Thursday, including ones
with larger color screens, as the online
retailer steps up competition with Apple
ahead of the holiday shopping season.
Amazon.com Inc. showed off the
larger Kindle Fire with a high-denition
display amid expectations that Apple
Inc. will introduce a smaller iPad as
early as next week.
The larger Fires will have screens that
measure 8.9 inches diagonally, com-
pared with 9.7 inches for the iPad. The
original Fire had 7-inch screens. The
basic version of the larger Fire will sell
for $299, or $100 less than the cheapest
iPad.
Its very clear today that there are
two names in the market for tablets. One
is Amazon and one is Apple, said
Carolina Milanesi, research vice presi-
dent at Gartner.
Seven out of every 10 tablets sold in
the second quarter were iPads, accord-
ing to IHS iSuppli. Tablets using
Googles Android operating system
have not been able to carve out a signif-
icant stake. Amazon is trying to change
that with the new Fires, which run a
modied version of Android.
Amazon has been selling lower-
priced tablets at thin, if any, prot mar-
gins to boost sales of digital items from
its online store. As a result, it has been
able to compete with the iPad on price.
CEO Jeff Bezos said in an interview
backstage that Amazon wont lose
money on the devices even if customers
dont use them to buy digital content
from its online store.
We want people to buy content from
the device, sure, he said. Were ne if
they dont.
The basic, 7-inch Fire model will cost
$159, down from $199 for the original
model, which sold out last month.
Amazon says it is 40 percent faster,
comes with twice the memory and has a
longer battery life than the old version.
It will start shipping next Friday.
I want one, BGC Partners analyst
Colin Gillis said about the $159 Kindle
Fire. Its a great price, and its certain-
ly not something thats going to be mak-
ing money for them initially. Its great
for consumers. How great a business
strategy (it is) for Amazon remains to be
seen.
Amazons bread-and-butter is not its
Kindle gadgets but the movies, books
and music that people consume through
them. By contrast, Apple sees content
sales as a sideline and wants to make a
healthy prot on every device sold. For
example, the cheapest iPad costs $399
and the most recent models start at
$499.

WASHINGTON The jobs outlook
in the U.S. brightened a bit Thursday
just before President Barack Obama was
to make his case for re-election to the
American people.
Fewer people applied for unemploy-
ment benets last week, the government
reported. And companies boosted hiring
in August, according to a private survey.
A far more consequential report politi-
cally the governments unemployment
and hiring gures for August will
come out Friday, just as the presidential
race enters its stretch run. Jobs are the
core issue in the race, and that report
could sway some undecided voters.
There will be two additional employ-
ment reports before Election Day. But
by then, more Americans will have made
up their minds.
Its the most important economic
data point we have between now and
Election Day, said Tony Fratto, a White
House spokesman under President
George W. Bush.
Fridays jobs data is unlikely to signal
signicant improvement in the still-slug-
gish economy.
Economists consensus forecast is that
employers added 135,000 jobs last
month, according to a survey by FactSet.
Thats below Julys gain of 163,000.
And its probably not enough to bring
down the unemployment rate, which is
forecast to remain at 8.3 percent.
That would let Republican nominee
Mitt Romney point to 43 straight months
in which unemployment has exceeded 8
percent.

If a rivalry is truly worth its weight
in gold, then no matter how many
times you play it, the excitement lead-
ing up to game time still feels new.
The Daily Journal Game of the
Week features such a matchup when
Aragon welcomes its intercity rival
San Mateo for a Peninsula Athletic
League showdown that year after year
means more than just a tally mark in
the win-loss column.
I know we say it every year, said
Aragon head coach Steve Sell, but to
the kids, ofcially Hillsdale is our
rival, but these kids know each other
more. The Aragon-San Mateo rivalry
is more emotional.
Kick-off in the newest chapter for
San Mateo supremacy is scheduled
for 7 p.m.
Fridays game marks the ofcial
return to the Bay Division for Aragon,
who last year played in the Ocean and
nished tied for second place. The
Dons chose to stay idle during Week
Zero while San Mateo took on Gunn
High School of Palo Alto and fell 14-
6. The Bearcats may play under the
Lake Division title, but rest assured,
in rivalry games like this, all the divi-
sion talk quickly disappears once the
whistle sounds.
The games are games, Sell said.
We dont even talk about it in terms
of, in our league, you can get into real
trouble if you start focusing on what
division youre in because anybody
can beat you in any division, he said,
adding that in recent times other Lake
Division teams, like Hillsdale,
Capuchino and Carlmont (who actual-
ly beat the Dons a couple years ago),
played Aragon tough.
All that division talk aside, the
Dons appear to have a sizable advan-
tage on paper.

The Peninsula Athletic League schedule maker
wasted little time in pairing two of the best girls ten-
nis teams in the PAL opener Thursday when presea-
son favorite Aragon traveled to take on two-time
defending champion Burlingame.
While Burlingame coach Bill Smith tried to play
down his team during the preseason, the Panthers gave
the Dons all they could handle. But in the end, Aragon
came away with an important 4-3 victory.
Im really happy, said Aragons rst-year coach
Linda Brown. Its a good way to start the season.
While a lot of attention has been focused on three
Aragon players who could are arguably three of the
top players in the league, it was a trio of freshmen of
whom Brown was most proud Thursday. Brown
found out just before leaving the Aragon campus her
No. 4 singles player was not available, forcing her to
juggle her lineup. She took Yulan Chen out of No. 3
doubles and inserted her into the No. 4 singles spot.
While Chen lost to Burlingame freshman Sammy
Kotmel, 6-2, 6-2, Brown was just proud to see Chen
step up to the challenge in her rst varsity match.
With the hole left by Chen at No. 3 doubles, Brown
then moved into that spot Magali de Sanvage, who
was scheduled to play in an exhibition match. Teamed
with Nicole Nasser, the duo to beat Burlingame jun-
iors Lisa Patel and Caroline Delehanty, 7-5, 7-5.
The win there prevented a doubles sweep by the
Panthers, who focused on doing just that to win
matches.
A third freshman, Kim Eliazo, won at No. 3 singles,
beating Burlingame freshman Sarah Sinatra, 6-3, 6-0.
This is a big mental [hurdle] to beat Burlingame,
Brown said. [We] havent done that in a while.
Along with Eliazo, Aragon picked up singles wins
at No. 1 and No. 2. Kaede Ishikawa, who will chal-
lenge for the PAL singles title at the end of the year,
needed a second-set tiebreaker to beat Alex Harrigan,
6-4, 7-6(7-3). Samantha Wong also won in straight
sets at No. 2, 6-1, 6-4.
While Smith believes his team will have to improve
greatly by the end of the season to hopefully make a
run at the PAL and Central Coast Section tourna-
ments, he was encouraged by Thursdays result.
If were contending this early in the season, we
could get cooking, Smith said. Right now, Were
young and underdone.
We have a lot of kids who could be playing in the
top 10 (of the team ladder) and we need some of them
to improve dramatically.
In addition to Kotmels win at No. 4 singles,
Burlingame earned its other two victories at No. 1 and
No. 2 doubles. Uma Murphy and Grace Hu, two of
only three seniors in the starting lineup and most

Best Bets
Woodside (0-1) at
Burlingame (0-1), 7 p.m.
The Wildcats were walloped 50-6
by Milpitas last week. The Panthers
came up short against Saratoga, 21-
17. Last year, Woodside beat
Burlingame in a shootout, 39-24.
In fairness to Woodside, Milpitas is
supposed to be very good this year
and the Spartans gave no reason to
think otherwise as they racked up
409 yards of offense, 277 coming
through the air. Burlingame led
Saratoga in the fourth quarter but
the Falcons pulled out the win.
Benji Palu had a big game for the
Panthers, rushing for 130 yards on
17 carries. Cameron Webb went for
99 yards, with both Burlingame
scores.
St. Ignatius (0-1) at
Terra Nova (0-1), 7 p.m.
The Wildcats dropped a 28-21
decision to North Coast Section
power Marin Catholic last week.
The Tigers fell to Sacred Heart
Cathedral 30-14. St. Ignatius
qualified for the Central Coast
Section playoffs last season with a
sub-.500 record. But the Wildcats
won three games in the playoffs and
captured the CCS Division III title
to nish 6-6-1. This is the sec-
ond week in a row Terra Nova plays
a team from the West Catholic
Athletic League. Despite scoring
only two TDs, Terra Nova had no
trouble moving the ball against
SHC, amassing 437 yards of
offense.
Sequoia (1-0) at
Monta Vista (1-0), 7 p.m.
The Cherokees slipped past
Fremont-Sunnyvale 26-25 last
week. The Matadors beat up on
Overfelt, 35-14. Sequoia needed
to score a pair of touchdowns in the
fourth quarter to pull out the win.
The Cherokees ran roughshod over
Fremont, rushing for 269 yards.
Running back Matt Jenkins rushed
for 145 yards on 19 carries, while
quarterback Mike Taylor rushed for
102 yards and two touchdowns on
15 carries. He also threw for 131
yards and another score. Monta

SANTA CLARA Two are All-
Pros. One was the runner-up for the
AP Defensive Rookie of the Year.
The other just received a new $44.5
million, six-year contract extension.
Patrick Willis, NaVorro Bowman,
Aldon Smith and Ahmad Brooks
might not only be the biggest reason
behind the San
Francisco 49ers
defensive suc-
cess last season,
they form a
close-knit line-
backer group
that has quickly
become the
NFLs new elite
unit.
Call them the
Fearsome Foursome.
I think theyre the best tandem of
3-4 linebackers in the league, Green
Bay Packers quarterback and NFL
MVP Aaron Rodgers said this week.
He should know.
When the Packers host the 49ers in
the regular-season opener for both
teams Sunday, the quarterbacks eyes
will likely be locked into the line-
backers more than any other group
on the eld.
Willis and Bowman, the two All-
Pros, combined for 235 tackles, 20
pass deections, four sacks and four
forced fumbles last season. Smith set
a franchise-rookie record with 14
sacks to go with two forced fumbles.
Brooks, who signed a new deal over
the summer that will carry him
through the 2017 season, had seven
sacks and a forced fumble.
With the linebackers causing
chaos, the 49ers led the league in
rushing defense (77.2 yards per
game), tied with the Packers in take-
aways (38) and nished second only
to the Pittsburgh Steelers (14.2) in
points allowed per game (14.3) en
route to the NFC championship
game last season.
There are certainly high expecta-
tions, Willis said, knowing what
we did last year.
The success has also bred a friend-
ly but erce competition throughout
training camp and preseason prac-
tice.
Brooks and Smith are so competi-
tive on the outside they started a
game about who is best, often yelling
out left side and strong side after
big plays, mimicking the catch
phrase from a scene in the movie
Remember the Titans. Even defen-
sive ends Justin Smith and Ray
McDonald have gotten in on the fun.
While the Smiths are often quieter
and prefer to let their play do most of
the talking, left-siders Brooks and
McDonald can often be more ram-
bunctious.
There were guys that said, Left
side! Strong side! Brooks said.
One day last year Ray was like,
Left side! And I was like, Strong
side! It stuck with us.
All four believe the playful antics
have motivated the defense even
more.
Its not a rivalry, its like a friend-
ly competition, Aldon Smith said.
We want to see who can get more
than the other. And just get em peri-
od.
The success also has created a
bond that extends beyond the eld.
Willis and Bowman are basically
brothers. The two have pictures of
each other and their families in each
of their lockers, and Willis also is the
godfather to Bowmans newborn
twins.
Sometimes its even hard to tell
who is who between No. 52 (Willis)
and No. 53 (Bowman) the way both
move all over the eld.
As roommates during training
camp last year, the two learned more
about each other and the similar
obstacles they had to overcome on
separate paths to NFL stardom.
Bowman, entering just his second
season as a starter, lost his father,
Hilliard, to a blood clot and his
school coach and mentor, Nick
Lynch, to a car accident while
Bowman was at Penn State. Willis
younger brother, Detric, drowned at
age 17 when Willis was at
Mississippi.
Me and Pat, we are very, very
close, Bowman said. We think of
ourselves as one of the best and we
have to keep going out there and
proving it every single Sunday.
Willis and Bowman both credit
Hall of Fame linebacker Mike
Singletary red as 49ers coach
after the second-to-last game in 2010
before Jim Harbaugh took over in
January 2011 for guidance early
in their careers. The hard-nosed
coach instilled a strong work ethic in
both, always preaching, Youre
never good enough, Bowman said.
That philosophy has proven pow-
erful as theyve evolved into one of
the leagues best units.
And with Ray Lewis and many
Baltimore Ravens veterans in the
twilight of their careers, Willis and
Co. are already drawing comparisons
to that vaunted linebacker group in
its prime.

Vic Fangio believes the next step for
his linebackers is to show the same
poise and polish for more than one
season. While he heaps high praise
on his defensive leaders, hes not
ready to anoint the Niners lineback-
ers the new NFL standard, especially
given his history.
Fangio was the linebackers coach
for the Dome Patrol in New
Orleans from 1986-1994. Hall of
Famer Rickey Jackson along with
Sam Mills, Vaughan Johnson and Pat
Swilling headlined that Saints squad.
The foursome combined for 18 Pro
Bowls over seven seasons. In 1992,
all four made the Pro Bowl.
I get asked a lot, how do they
compare to the four guys we had in
New Orleans? Fangio said. Those
four guys started for us in New
Orleans for seven straight years
together. Hopefully, we can have a
run like that here and once we start
doing that, two, three, four years,
maybe Ill have a better answer to
that question.
NOTES: RB Brandon Jacobs (left
knee) and WR/returner Ted Ginn Jr.
(right ankle) did not participate in
practice for the second straight day.
Harbaugh has been noncommittal
about whether either would play. ...
49ers offensive coordinator Greg
Roman also opened the possibility
that backup QB Colin Kaepernick
could spell Smith at times to run the
wildcat formation. I think Kap gives
you the exibility to be able to talk
about that and feel good about it and
plan for it, Roman said. I think its
just good change of pace and makes
the defense prepare for something
different. So, its denitely a possi-
bility.
49ers linebackers becoming NFLs elite unit
Patrick Willis
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALAMEDA The Oakland
Raiders thin receiving corps got a
boost Thursday when Denarius
Moore returned to practice from an
injury and the team signed Derek
Hagan.
Moore practiced on a limited basis
for the rst time since Aug. 4 as he
has been dealing with a hamstring
injury rst sustained during mini-
camp in June.
It felt really good to be back out
there with my teammates and get my
timing down with the quarterback,
just getting a feel for things, he said.
Ive been out for so long you some-
what forget the fundamentals.
Moores return was welcome news
to a Raiders offense that struggled at
times during the preseason. He had a
stellar rookie season, catching 33
passes for 618 yards and ve touch-
downs. His 18.7 yards per catch
were the fourth-highest in the league
and his eight catches on passes more
than 20 yards downfield gave
Oakland a much-needed vertical
threat that opened up opposing
defenses.
Moore has been unable to work
much with quarterback Carson
Palmer this offseason. He was on the
eld for OTAs but got hurt early in
minicamp. He had four full practices
in training camp before being hurt
again and had not made it back on
the field with the team until
Thursday.
I know its been a frustrating
training camp for him because hes a
football player and thats what he
wants to be doing, Palmer said. Its
good to see him out there getting
reps, getting his legs back out there
underneath him. Hes going to need
that. You lose football shape really
fast and its hard to get it back. So
its good to see him getting some
work today and hopefully hell con-
tinue to improve as the week goes
on.
With Moore working back from
his injury and Jacoby Ford still side-
lined by a sprained left foot, the
Raiders needed help at receiver for
the opener against San Diego next
Monday.
Thats why they brought Hagan
back for a second stint with the team,
adding a veteran presence to a young
group. Hagan had 11 catches for 114
yards in six games for Oakland last
season. He was cut midway through
the season and spent the rest of 2011
and this years training camp with
Buffalo before being cut last week.
Hagan spent two weeks in
Oakland last season with Palmer
before being released, giving the two
some familiarity. Most everything
else about the offense is different
under new coordinator Greg Knapp.
I denitely expect myself to learn
the whole playbook, Hagan said.
Obviously this is what I do, this is
my job, this is my profession. If I got
to learn it in three days thats ne
with me. Its denitely going to be a
cram session. There may be a few
things that I may not memorize at the
right time but I know I just gotta put
that time in, and hopefully come
Monday night Ill just be able to do
what Im supposed to do and be
where Im supposed to be.
Hagans 109 career catches are
more than any other current Raiders
receiver has. He has played parts of
six seasons in the NFL, also spend-
ing time with the New York Giants
and Miami.

racking up 317 yard rushing, averaging 8.5 yards a carry.
Nathan Facciolla is a two-way threat for the Matadors. The
quarterback led the team in rushing with 105 yards on nine
carries.
Menlo-Atherton (1-0) at Los Gatos (0-1), 7:30 p.m.
The Bears beat up El Camino last week, 26-0. The Wildcats
saw a fourth-quarter comeback fall short against Mitty, 28-20.
This is the second year in a row these teams have met. Los
Gatos won 27-14 in 2011. M-A had 422 yards of total
offense last week 251 on the ground and 171 through the
air. Receiver Evan Perkins caught only three passes, but he
gained 118 yards and a score, with a long of 85 yards.
Isiah Nash led the ground attack, gaining 129 yards on 13 car-
ries. Normally a ground-and-pound team, Los Gatos did
more damage through the air against Mitty, with quarterback
Nick Bawden passing for 177 yards, but he did throw two
picks. Max Herman was the bell cow on the ground for the
Wildcats, gaining 90 yards and scoring three touchdowns.
Carlmont (1-0) at Gunn (1-0), 7:30 p.m.
The Scots opened the season with an impressive 33-0 win
over Kings Academy. The Titans held off San Mateo, 14-6.
Matt Stalun had a big game for Carlmont last week. He
caught two scoring passes and had an interception on defense.
Mark Concilla also scored twice for the Scots. The Gunn
defense propelled it to the win over San Mateo last week, get-
ting an interception late in the fourth quarter with the
Bearcats driving.
Capuchino (0-1) at South City (0-1), 7 p.m.
The Mustangs were manhandled by Valley Christian-
Dublin, 36-6. The Warriors wilted against Santa Clara, 27-6.
Last year, South City shut out Capuchino, 25-0. Despite
getting blasted to open the season, Cap running back Justin
Ewing picked up where he left off last year. He rushed for 161
yards and the Mustangs only score last week. The
Mustangs could not stop the run, as Howard Wikle torched
them to the tune of 211 yards and three scores on just 18 car-
ries. South Citys loss to Santa Clara was the second in two
years. The Warriors fell 20-7 last season.
Saturday
Sacred Heart Prep (1-0) at Mountain View (0-0), noon
The Gators gobbled up Branham last week, 31-6. The
Spartans nished 6-4-1 overall last season 4-2-1 in the De
Anza Division of the Santa Clara Valley Athletic League.
SHP did most of its damage on the ground last week, rushing
for 225 yards on 46 carries. Ryan Gaertner led the way with
99 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries. Quarterback
Kevin Donahoe also had a big game, throwing for 161 yards
and a touchdown on 7 of 10 passing Mountain View was
an entertaining team last year. Not only did the Spartans aver-
age 28 points per game, they allowed 27.

Wilcox (0-1) at Half Moon Bay (0-1), 7 p.m.
The Chargers were defused against Serra
last week, losing 30-6. The Cougars came up
short against De Anza Division power
Homestead, losing 28-25. Last year,
Homestead beat the Cougars 35-16, but last
week, Half Moon Bay led 25-21 going into
the fourth quarter.
Jefferson (0-1) at
St. Patrick/St.Vincent (0-2), 7:30 p.m.
The Indians were immobilized by CCS DIV
power Seaside last week, losing 48-0. The
Bruins were buried by Campolindo 41-14.
If nothing else, Jefferson should have a good
shot of at least scoring, if not beating, St.
Patrick/St. Vincent this week, if last years
results are any indication. The Bruins went 3-
7 last season, but were shut out twice and
were held to 20 points or less four times.
Jefferson, however, wasnt much better in
2011, scoring 14 points or less in eight games.
Menlo School (1-0) vs.
Mission-SF (1-0), at Kezar Stadium, 1 p.m.
The Bears bulled their way to a 33-21 win
over Hercules in their season opener last
week. The Knights KOd Santa Cruz last
week, 66-14. Mission is the defending
Academic Athletic Association champion.
The Bears won the regular-season and playoff
titles last year. Menlo led 9-0 without tak-
ing a snap on offense last week Matt
Parker returned the opening kickoff 91 yards
for a score followed by a safety when Santa
Cruz lined up to punt on its rst possession.
The Knights scored more points in the rst
quarter than Santa Cruz scored all game.
Menlo led 23-0 after the rst quarter and 50-7
at halftime.
Mills (0-0-1) at Cupertino (1-0), 7:30 p.m.
The Vikings nished in a 14-14 tie with
Galileo last week. The Pioneers pilfered a win
against Hillsdale last week, 28-20. Last
year, Cupertino beat Mills 38-12. Mills is
already showing some promise under new
coach Mike Krieger, playing Galileo to a
standstill. The Vikings had won only three
games the previous three seasons. Running
backs Joey Himuro and Antonio Jeffery could
become a lethal 1-2 punch for the Vikings.
Jeffery provides the ash while Himuro is the
tough, inside runner. The two combined to
rush for 133 yards and each scored a touch-
down last week. Cupertino scored two
defensive touchdowns to beat Hillsdale last
week.
Saturday
El Camino (0-1) at
Washington-SF(0-0), 2 p.m.
The Colts were clobbered by Menlo-
Atherton last week, 26-0. The Eagles were 9-
3 last season and went undefeated in
Academic Athletic Association play. Last
year, El Camino beat Washington 29-19 in the
season opener for both teams.
Lincoln-SF (0-1) at Hillsdale (0-1), 2 p.m.
The Mustangs were mauled by Riordan last
week, 27-7. The Knights were beaten 28-20 in
their opener last week. Justus Smith gave
Lincoln an early 7-0 lead, but the Mustangs
then allowed 27 unanswered points.
Hillsdale held Cupertinos offense to just 14
points, but the Pioneers defense scored twice
on turnovers returned for touchdowns.

As McCarthy alert after surgery on skull fracture
OAKLAND Athletics pitcher Brandon McCarthy is alert
after having surgery for a skull fracture and brain contusion caused
by a line drive.
The Oakland right-hander was hit in the head Wednesday by a
liner off the bat of Erick Aybar of the Los Angeles Angels.
The Athletics said Thursday that McCarthy was awake, resting
comfortably in the critical care unit of a Bay Area hospital and
showing signs of improvement.
A CT scan after the accident showed the damage. After a second
CT scan, the 29-year-old McCarthy had a two-hour operation to
relieve pressure in his head.
McCarthy is 8-6 with a 3.24 ERA in 18 starts.

experienced doubles players, needed
three sets to get past Melissa Ma and
Connie Ngirchemet, 6-1, 3-6, 6-4.
[Murphy and Hu] are veteran dou-
bles players. They played a good
match today, Smith said.
The No. 2 doubles team of Sara
Arfania and Marie Blukher were
pushed by Aragons Susan Kim and
Allison Ko. Although Arafania and
Blukher won in straight sets, it wasnt
easy. They broke Kim and Ko once in
the rst set to win 7-5 and then need-
ed a second-set tiebreaker to complete
the win, outlasting Aragon 8-6 in the
tiebreak.
Despite being the two-time defend-
ing PAL Bay champion, Smith is
under no illusions the Panthers will
waltz to a third, not with a slew of new
players this season. Plus, the top of the
standings gure to be strong with
Aragon, Menlo-Atherton and
Carlmont all expected to vie for play-
off spots.
Maybe we can be fourth, Smith
said.
Brown, on the other hand, has no
real expectations since this is her rst
year on the PAL tennis circuit. She
just wants her players to practice and
play their best, knowing if they do,
they have an excellent chance of chal-
lenging for a PAL title.
Im still feeling my way, Brown
said. Were a solid team. Im going to
make them take it one match at a
time.

Marcell Jackson and last but not
least The PAL Flash himself in J.D.

Still, with all that talent, maybe
San Mateo does have a slight
advantage in having experienced
live game action already this season.
Its not nearly the same as play-
ing a game. So, theres something to
having a game under your belt for
sure, Sell said. But, weve been
practicing so much so long, that its
whatever advantage is gained by
playing that rst game is made up
pretty quickly.
Im pretty darn curious how our
inexperienced guys are going to
play, Sell said. I think the inexpe-
rienced guys, they get a little taste
of live action, Im very anxious,
very excited to see how our young
guys play and how theyre going to
transfer the stuff from the practice
eld to the game on Friday in key
situations.
San Mateo showed in its game
against Gunn that it has some
weapons of their own. Its downfall
last Friday revolved around
turnovers in key situations. Against
a team like Aragon, they can ill
afford to be generous with the foot-
ball. Players like Larry Campbell,
who caught seven passes for 145
yards and a touchdown, will be key
for San Mateo. But along with a 95-
yard touchdown catch, he was
responsible for one of the two big
San Mateo turnovers.
No. 22, Campbell, is a real
dynamic player, Sell said. Their
backs are good. This game, who
knows? Thats the thing, you usual-
ly like to see a team in person and so
I know theyre going to be bigger
than they look on lm, theyre going
to be faster than they look on lm
and I think its going to take our
kids a few series to adjust to their
speed just because they have that
game under their belt and we dont.
Under the lights at Aragon, the
emotion will be the x-factor. And
with the Dons taking the eld for
the rst time, the rst half advan-
tage might belong to San Mateo.
Last season in this same matchup,
the Dons jumped out to a 21-7 lead
with more than nine minutes left in
the second quarter. They took that
advantage and cruised to an emphat-
ic 50-22 win.
It was a loss San Mateo never
really recovered from. Theyd go 1-
9 for the year and those 50 points
surrendered were a sign of things to
come the Bearcats gave up a PAL
worst 36 points per game last sea-
son.
Once you weather the storm in
the beginning, Sell said, the game
evens itself out. Were going to get
San Mateos best effort. I guarantee
you that.

Miller, Nelson among hoops Hall inductees
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. She
was the rst person he called after
he got the call. And Cheryl Miller
will be on stage to present her broth-
er, Reggie, when he is inducted into
the Naismith Memorial Basketball
Hall of Fame.
Its an honor that can only go to a
previous inductee.
Reggie Miller will be honored on
Friday night along with longtime
coach Don Nelson, Nike co-founder
Phil Knight and nine others in the
biggest induction class in more than
50 years. The former Indiana Pacers
star joins big sister Cheryl, a 1995
inductee who is 20 months his elder,
to form the rst brother-sister pair in
the Springfield
shrine.
If you were
going to tell me
you would have
two Hall of
Famers from the
same family, I
probably would
have looked at
you like you
were crazy,
Reggie Miller said Thursday after a
ceremony in which the inductees
were presented with their Hall of
Fame blazers.
Without Cheryls hard work and
dedication to the game of basket-
ball, I dont know if I would ever be
on this stage. Shes the reason why
Im here.
A five-time All-Star and 1996
Olympic gold medalist, Reggie
Miller retired as the leading 3-point
shooter in NBA history and one of
the most clutch players in the histo-
ry of the league. Beloved in Indiana,
where he spent his entire 18-year
career, he is remembered in New
York with equal parts respect and
revulsion for scoring eight points in
8.9 seconds to beat the Knicks in a
1995 playoff game.
His competitiveness was devel-
oped in childhood games with
Cheryl and their three other siblings
not just basketball in the drive-
way, but also Monopoly or Uno or
Risk or dominoes (Darrell Miller
made the major leagues as a catcher,
and sister Tammy was a high school
track star who played volleyball in
college).
No one messed with the
Millers, Reggie said. And we
always had each others back. I
guess thats what family is all
about.
Also on stage receiving their Hall
of Fame jackets on Thursday were
Don Nelson, the winningest coach
in NBA history, and Nike co-
founder Phil Knight. Ralph
Sampson, the only three-time col-
lege player of the year, and Jamaal
Wilkes.

Acuras RDX moves mainstream
By Ann M. Job
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Redesigned for 2013, the Acura RDX com-
pact sport utility vehicle is slightly larger, with
a more compliant ride, than its predecessor
and has more power than ever while beating
the popular Lexus RX 350 in fuel economy
ratings.
The new RDX also has more front- and
rear-seat legroom than a Mercedes-Benz GLK
SUV and much more cargo space.
Better still, the revamped-for-2013 RDX is
a recommended buy of Consumer Reports
magazine, where it ranks above average in
expected reliability.
Pricing is increased an average $1,013
across the four 2013 RDX models from 2012
prices, and the top RDX with all-wheel
drive and technology package now is just
over $40,000.
Specically, starting manufacturers sug-
gested retail price, including destination
charge, for a base, 2013 RDX is $35,215. This
is a front-wheel drive RDX with 273-horse-
power V-6 and all the standard amenities, such
as leather-covered seats, heated front seats,
moonroof, rearview camera, keyless access,
push-button start, 360-watt audio system,
Pandora Internet radio interface and SMS text
messaging system. The lowest starting MSRP,
See RDX, Page 17
The RDX remains one of the most affordable of smaller-sized, ve-seat, luxury-branded SUVs.

including destination charge, for an all-
wheel drive, 2013 RDX is $36,615.
But even with the price increase, the
RDX remains one of the most affordable
of smaller-sized, ve-seat, luxury-brand-
ed SUVs.
As an example, the starting retail price
for a 2013 Lexus RX 350 with 270-
horsepower V-6 and front-wheel drive is
$40,205, while an all-wheel drive, 2013
RX 350 starts at $41,605. The RX 350 is
the best-selling, smaller-sized, luxury
SUV in the United States. Meantime, the
2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK has a starting
retail price of $37,995 and comes stan-
dard with 302-horsepower V-6 and all-
wheel drive.
Some fans of the rst-generation RDX,
which came to market in 2006 with a tur-
bocharged four cylinder and a rmer ride
that lent itself to sporty handling, might
grumble over the changes for 2013.
But sales of the RDX peaked at 23,367
in 2007 and totaled just 15,196 in calen-
dar 2011, which indicated that theres not
a big market for a sporty-handling, turbo,
compact SUV.
And by making the RDX more main-
stream with a smooth-performing V-6
instead of sometimes jerky turbo power
and with a comfortable, rened ride that
makes everything from city streets to
concrete highways more tolerable
Acura is broadly expanding this SUVs
appeal.
The pleasing ride was one of the rst
things noticed in the test RDX AWD
Tech model priced at $40,315.
The new RDX suspension, along with
slightly wider track and longer wheel-
base, managed even potholes with ease,
removed the sharpness of speed bump
undulations and smoothed out the
whomps of expansion cracks on
bridges.
A three-hour drive on highways and
country roads in the quiet RDX interior
was fatigue-free on nicely supportive but
not overly rm front seats. Driver and
passenger remarked the trip could have
gone on without a problem.
The suspension MacPherson struts
up front and a multilink design in back
use new dampers that will be put in
other new Acuras.
These amplitude-reactive dampers are
new to Acura and have a two-valve
design that basically acts like two sus-
pension systems. One is soft in situa-
tions such as small bumps and smooth
roads and the other is rm, for big bumps
and during aggressive cornering.
The driver, however, does nothing to
activate these dampers, which work auto-
matically.
Horsepower is boosted by 33 in the
new RDX because of the 3.5-liter, single
overhead cam V-6. This is the same
engine thats in the Honda Odyssey.
Honda is Acuras parent company.
Peak torque of 251 foot-pounds at
5,000 rpm from the V-6 is a bit less than
the 260 foot-pounds at 4,500 rpm from
last years 2.3-liter, turbo four cylinder.
But the test 2013 RDX moved forward
with spunk and merged well into trafc.
Power came on smoothly through the
new six-speed automatic transmission
that includes paddle shifters on the steer-
ing wheel for drivers who want to expe-
rience some sporty shifts.
Sounds from the V-6 also were quieter
and less frenetic than those that came
from the turbo four.
Most impressively, the tester with
AWD delivered nearly 24 miles per gal-
lon in combined driving that was some
70 percent at highway speeds and 30 per-
cent on city streets.
This is in part because of a fuel-saving,
engine cylinder deactivation system that
worked seamlessly in the test RDX to
shut down cylinders that werent needed
at times.
Plus, the new RDX is more aerody-
namic in its styling and weighs some 600
pounds less than the Lexus RX 350.
No wonder, then, that the federal gov-
ernments fuel economy rating of 19/27
mpg for a 2013 RDX FWD is better than
the 19/24-mpg rating for last years four-
cylinder RDX. And its higher than the
18/25-mpg rating for the 2013 Lexus RX
350 FWD.
The testers mileage gave a 380-mile
range on a single tank, and while premi-
um gasoline is recommended, it is not
required.
Inside, the new RDX instrument
gauges are a bit less sporty and more
mainstream than before, which ts nice-
ly with the new personality.
Most notable are the sizable buttons
and controls on the center part of the
dashboard. Theres no hunting to nd
tiny knobs or subtly indented buttons.
The rearview camera comes standard
with yellow lines that depict the width of
the RDX along its projected, rearward
path as the vehicle backs up.
Front and rear legroom of 42 inches
and 38.3 inches is better than whats in
the Mercedes GLK, especially the
GLKs 35.1 inches of back-seat legroom.
The RDX bests the GLK in cargo
space, too, offering 76.9 cubic feet
behind with rear seats folded vs. just 54.7
cubic feet in the Mercedes.

Changing market requires
updates to automobile horns
By Dee-Ann Durbin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Cars have gotten a lot more advanced in the last few
decades, but at least one part the humble car horn has
remained virtually untouched. Until now.
As carmakers sell more vehicles globally, theyre changing
horns to comply with various international noise laws. Theyre
using different materials to save weight and improve fuel
economy. And theyre making horns more resilient for markets
such as India, where horns are used much more frequently
than in the United States.
Cars have had horns since the early 1900s, when the distinct
ah-oo-gah of the Ford Model T rst won Americas heart.
Horns are designed a little differently these days, but the prin-
ciple is the same: Electrical current ows through a copper coil
in the horn, making a magnetic eld. The eld makes a at,
circular diaphragm inside the horn oscillate, and the oscillation
makes the horns sound. Horns may play one sound or may
come in pairs to create the mellow chord thats most familiar
to U.S. and European buyers.
Car companies used to offer different horns depending on
the vehicle. In the 1960s and 70s, for example, Cadillacs had
optional horns that played a C and D-note combination, rather
than the usual A and F-note one.

The Words
Movie about writing clichd
By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
For a movie about writing, about the transporting nature
of a compelling narrative and the importance of crafting
something timeless and true, The Words is needlessly
complicated.
It boasts an impressive cast and some glimmers of strong per-
formances, notably from a grizzled Jeremy Irons, whose char-
acter sets the lms many stories-within-stories in motion as a
young man. And it kinda-sorta explores the notions of art, fraud
and the need to sleep at night. But ultimately, The Words seems
more interested in melodrama than anything else.

Happiness is serious
business for Rubin
By Brooke Lefferts
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Gretchen Rubin tapped into something with
her best-selling book, The Happiness
Project, about nding ways to feel more sat-
ised with the life you have. Her new sequel,
Happier at Home, takes a closer look at how
to improve areas that usually mean the most
bonding with family, creating a comfort-
able living space and utilizing time manage-
ment.
Fans of Rubins rst book should enjoy
Happier at Home, which offers some new
solutions for old
problems and
useful tips to
make changes
that cultivate
quality of life.
Her latest
project spanned
nine months,
with each chap-
ter focusing on a
different goal.
Rubin rejects
vague platitudes
like love your-
self or be opti-
mistic. The book offers concrete actions to
elevate moods and behavior. Suggestions like
singing in the morning, acting the way you
want to feel, or mentally making the positive
argument instead of dwelling on the negative
are small remedies that could reap big results.
Some xes are so simple they seem obvious
like breathing in a favorite smell or knock-
ing before entering a room yet most people
are too busy to take the time.
Rubin advocates de-cluttering and encour-
ages ways to incorporate enjoyable objects
into living and working environments to
increase productivity. She concludes that it
isnt the amount of possessions she has, but
whether shes engaged with the objects that
counts.
To create closer bonds with family she start-
ed traditions like holiday breakfasts, special
outings with her daughter, and developed a
project with her sister. But not all experiments
were successful. When Rubin tried to plan
monthly adventures with her husband, he was-
nt interested.
Those stories make Rubin more relatable.

LOS ANGELES Mike
Birbiglia, a stand-up comic
with a sleep disorder, stars
in, co-writes and makes his
directing debut with
Sleepwalk With Me,
which is about ... a stand-
up comic with a sleep dis-
order. He plays a Brooklyn
bartender simultaneously
juggling his desire for
onstage success with
the girlfriend
( L a u r e n
Ambrose) who wants him to commit to
her offstage. Then there is the pesky
sleepwalking problem that plagues him
no matter what he does.
As the indie critical hit expands to more
theaters this week, Birbiglia was kind
enough to take the time to choose his ve
favorite romantic comedies set in New
York City. Here he is, in his own (very
funny) words:
Big(1988):
This lm was my introduction to New
York-based lms and actually New York
City at all. Once I saw this, I knew that I,
too, would be destined for a penthouse
Manhattan apartment with trampolines,
pinball machines and bunk beds. The
romance with Elizabeth Perkins is believ-
able despite its high concept and just
adorable and laugh-out-loud funny. Its
also heartbreaking, and makes me cry
every time Ive seen it. Ive seen it 15
times. Actually, I cry quite a bit in gener-
al.
Moonstruck(1987):
This is the next New York-based
romantic comedy I saw. I was allowed to
watch it despite my age because it was
about Italians and it was important for the
Birbiglias that I see Italian-American
lms. What sticks out for me is the small-
er characters that highlight the larger
themes. In the liquor store Chers charac-
ter visits, theres a charming argument
between a middle-aged couple. The wife
says, I see a wolf in you. The husband
responds, You know what I see in you?
The girl I married. Its those secondary
characters that make that lm really sing
comedically in addition, of course, to
the hilarious and emotional Nic Cage and
Cher.
When Harry
Met Sally ...(1989):
Cmon. Is every scene in this movie
perfect? Yes. I could watch this movie

DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
RIGOLETTO, GILDA AND THE
DUKE OF MANTUA OPEN THE SAN
FRANCISCO OPERA SEASON. San
Francisco Operas 201213 Season opens
Sept. 7 with Giuseppe Verdis Rigoletto, the
compelling story of a court jester whose
superstitions and attempts to protect his
daughter result in tragedy. Conductor Nicola
Luisotti leads the San Francisco Opera
Orchestra for 12 performances, alternating
between two international casts of principals.
Sung in Italian with English supertitles.
Approximate running time: 2 hours, 35 min-
utes, including one intermission.
OH, AND DID YOU KNOW? Rigolettos
opening night March 11, 1851 was a complete
triumph and the Dukes cynical aria, La
donna mobile was sung in the streets the
next morning. Baritone Felice Varesi, the orig-
inal Rigoletto, was very uncomfortable with
the false hump he had to wear and had a panic
attack when it was his turn to enter the stage.
Verdi immediately realized Varesi was para-
lyzed and roughly pushed him on the stage, so
Varesi appeared with a clumsy tumble. The
audience, thinking it was an intentional gag,
was very amused.
TICKETS: Tickets from $22 to $340 at the
Box Office, 301 Van Ness Ave., San
Francisco, by phone at (415) 864-3330, or

Opera House are available through the San
Francisco War Memorial Performing Arts
Center Tour, (415) 552-8338, and San
Francisco Opera Guild, (510) 524-5220.
NEW TO OPERA? If you have never
attended an opera, San Francisco Opera
invites you to explore this classic art form in
one of North Americas most beautiful per-
formance venues. Opera is growing in popu-
larity among younger and older generations.
Come see for yourself what the excitement is
all about. To help you get started, SF Opera
has developed an informative guide to an art
form that has transcended the ages.
http://sfopera.com/Learn/Opera-FAQs.aspx.

missing curtain up? Dine at the Opera House
Caf, in the lower lobby of the Opera House.
The Caf opens two hours before each
evening and Sunday matinee performance and
serves both a buffet and a la carte dishes.

(who co-wrote the story for Tron: Legacy
and are childhood friends of star Bradley
Cooper) direct for the first time here.
Certainly they must be familiar with the
doubts and frustrations all writers face at
some time or another, the need to have your
voice heard and the fear that what youre
offering to the world might just plain suck.
But while theyve come up with a clever
nugget of a premise, theyve couched it in a
gimmicky package that keeps us at arms
length emotionally.
The Words begins with celebrated writer
Clay Hammond (Dennis Quaid) reading
excerpts from his latest best-selling novel
(titled The Words, conveniently enough) to
an enraptured crowd. Among the audience
members is the beautiful grad student
Daniella (Olivia Wilde), who has come to irt
with him and eventually, in a total 180, force
him to face his own truth.
While its always good to see both of these
actors, the lm did not need this framing
device at all. Its not that it makes things con-
fusing all the story lines are distinct and
clearly delineated, and Quaid and Wilde do
have some actual tension with each other it
just feels like show-offy clutter.
As Clay begins to read, the lm ashes to
the characters in the book and their story,
which is probably where the lm should have
started all along. Cooper plays Rory Jansen,
who also happens to be a celebrated writer
appearing before an enraptured crowd. What
are the odds? Rory is receiving a prestigious
award for his debut novel, the one that made
him an instant literary sensation. Trouble is,
he didnt actually write it.
A ashback to a few years earlier, when his
marriage to the beautiful and loving Dora
(Zoe Saldana) was still new, reveals him ham-
mering away at his laptop and struggling to
nd a literary agent who will take a chance on
him. While in Paris on their honeymoon,
though, he happened to buy an old satchel in a
secondhand store. And within that satchel, a
typed manuscript happened to be hidden: the
story of a young man, his bride and their baby
in post-World War II France. And that typed
manuscript just happened to be The Real
Thing.
Rory knows its wrong, but he passes off the
work as his own, and voila! Hes a superstar.
But wait! Irons is skulking around, an old man
(whose character is literally called Old Man)
hoping to talk with Rory and share his own
story which we also see in tastefully light-
ed, sepia-toned ashbacks. (Antonio Calvache
of Little Children and In the Bedroom is
the cinematographer.) Its pretty obvious who
this Old Man is, but its still a pleasure to
watch him relish in regaling his tale and make
this punk kid squirm. Irons also has some
lovely, vulnerable moments, and as Cooper
showed last year in Limitless, hes always a
more interesting actor when hes distraught
than when hes Being Bradley Cooper.
Still, The Words leaves nothing to the
imagination, smothering all these storylines in
narration that spells out the actions were see-
ing or emotions we could infer for ourselves.
And the characters themselves in all of these
tales are total clichs: the scruffy, hungry
writer in his spare Brooklyn loft; the blandly
seless and supportive wife; the wide-eyed,
small-town soldier seeing the world for the
rst time, etc. And Hemingway is referenced
ad nauseum, as if he were the only novelist
who could possibly inuence anyone, ever.
Maybe this was an intentional acknowl-
edgement of literary conventions from
Klugman and Sternthal. Or maybe The
Words really is that eye-rollingly hackneyed.
The Words, a CBS Films release, is rated
PG-13 for brief language. Running time: 97
minutes. Two stars out of four.

WORDS
over and over on a loop. Actually, Im pretty sure
they do that on cable. It plays quite a bit. Meg
Ryan is nothing short of magical in this per-
formance. And the time lapses are, for me, what
make this lm really work because we truly
believe that this oil-and-water couple will stay
together and they ought to. I sure hope they do in
the sequel: When Harry Stayed With Sally.
Metropolitan(1990):
I saw this lm in high school and I watch and
re-watch it now like its an old friend. Its about
this very specic debutante culture in
Manhattan, but because the protagonist is the
outsider, we feel like its our movie, too. Were
the outsider who has a crush on the incredible,
Molly Ringwald-esque Carolyn Farina.
Annie Hall (1977):
I saw this lm in college when I was rst
studying screenwriting and starting out as a
comic. It has forever been imprinted in my DNA.
Its funny, its emotional and its unafraid. I was
so struck when I saw it that it found the beauty in
a breakup as opposed to wallowing in it. It also
trafcs in an area so specic a neurotic, Jewish
comedian but yet it feels so universal. Woody
Allen does this in all of his lms of that period
Hannah and Her Sisters, Manhattan, Crimes
and Misdemeanors but this one truly makes
me laugh the most and get choked up in the same
moment. It also has the line that my wife repeats
to me all the time, which is the mothers line to
the child Alvy when he asks what theyll do about
the universe expanding: WHAT, IS THAT
YOUR BUSINESS?!

Her thoughts on the hard work necessary to
keep a marriage happy may also move readers.
It isnt enough to love; we must prove it,
says Rubin.
The book makes valuable points about how
technology has created new work thats never
done. There will always be another email or
social media post, and smartphones and lap-
tops have made it possible to work anywhere,
anytime. Rubin warns the Internet can be a
constant distraction, a dangerous form of pro-
crastination, and can hinder your ow of ideas
and leach contentment.
A few months into the project, Rubin admits
slacking on several goals, slipping back into
old habits and feeling down. But then she
hauls out her bag of happiness cures, includ-
ing reading about 18th-century writer Samuel
Johnson.
This is where she may lose some readers.
Describing herself and her husband as con-
scientious people who work hard and spend a
lot of time on computers, she says they rarely
drink or take vacation. Her intellectual,
methodical approach to happiness often
makes it feel like a chore. She regularly quotes
great philosophers and writers, and uses myr-
iad examples, evoking a research paper. Once
a Yale legal scholar and Supreme Court justice
clerk, its no wonder some of Rubins exact-
ing, dry language reads like a law brief.
For Rubin, happiness is serious business,
and although she shares personal anecdotes,
her plain writing lacks conversational style
and humor.

Hominy is one of those foods you
might think youve never tried, yet
almost certainly have. Or at least a
close relative of it.
Thats because the ingredient that
starts as hominy can end as many
different dishes across many cul-
tures, from Mexican pozole to
Southern grits to the corn nuts
down at your neighborhood bar.
But first, the basics.
Hominy is the name given to
whole corn kernels, usually white,
that have been cooked in a lye or
lime solution to remove their thick
hulls. The result is a tender, some-
what bulbous kernel with a chewy
texture and a clean, corn flavor.
In Latin America, these kernels
are used most often in soups and
stews, such as pozole, a highly sea-
soned stew of hominy, pork and
chili peppers.
The Southern staple known as
grits follows a similar path. In this
case, the hominy is dried after pro-
cessing, then coarsely ground. The
resulting meal then is cooked with
water or milk to a porridge-like
consistency similar to polenta.
Finally, there is the snack food
corn nuts. These are produced
much like hominy, except the ker-
nels are soaked in water after the
hulls are removed. They then are
dried and fried until crunchy, then
seasoned and consumed alongside
intoxicating beverages.
Cans of basic hominy are widely
available at most grocers, either
among the canned vegetables or in
the Hispanic foods aisle. For ideas
for using hominy, check out the Off
the Beaten Aisle column over on

Servings: 8
1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1 pound steak tips, cut into 1-
inch chunks
1 quart beef broth

Hominy: What it is
and how to use it
By Alison Ladman

When you think curry, chances
are potatoes and chicken come to
mind. But we think you also should
consider apples.
Though not necessarily a tradi-
tional touch for curry, apples work
deliciously well with the big, spicy
avors of the dish. In fact, there is
very little that is traditional about
the curry we have assembled here,
but were not all that worried about
it. Its so delicious, the name almost
seems irrelevant.
A quick saute of vegetables and
chicken along with those afore-
mentioned apples is tied together
with a creamy curry sauce. To keep
the autumnal feel, we threw in some
dried cranberries and topped it with
toasted almonds. We also served it
over rice, but you could opt for egg
noodles.
CREAMY APPLE
CURRY CHICKEN
Start to nish: 40 minutes
Servings: 4
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1 large yellow onion, cut into 1-
inch chunks
1 green bell pepper, cored and cut
into 1-inch chunks
1 red bell pepper, cored and cut
into 1-inch chunks
2 cups cauliower orets
1 pound boneless, skinless chick-
en thighs, cut into bite-size cubes
3 medium apples, peeled, cored
and diced
2 tablespoons curry powder (hot
or mild, to taste)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons all-purpose our
1 1/2 cups milk
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup toasted slivered almonds
In a large, deep skillet over medi-
um-high heat, melt the butter. Add
the onion and saute until tender,
about 6 to 7 minutes. Add both bell
peppers, the cauliower and chick-
en. Cook until the vegetables are
just tender and the chicken is
cooked through, about 10 to 12 min-
utes.
Add the apples, curry powder, salt
and pepper. Cook until the apples
are just tender, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the our over everything,
stirring to coat. Add the milk and
cranberries, stirring and cooking
until the sauce comes to a simmer
and thickens. Serve sprinkled with
toasted almonds.

um, noticeably grayer than he was as a histo-
ry-making candidate for the White House in
2008.
First Lady Michelle Obama and the cou-
ples daughters, Malia and Sasha, joined the
president on stage in the moments after the
speech, followed by other family members
and Vice President Joe Biden and his wife.
Strains of Only in America lled the hall as
confetti lled the air.
Obamas speech was the nal act of a pair
of highly scripted national political conven-
tions in as many weeks, and the opening salvo
of a two-month drive toward Election Day
that pits Obama against Romney, the former
governor of Massachusetts. The contest is
ever tighter for the White House in a dreary
season of economic struggle for millions.
Biden preceded Obama at the convention
podium and proclaimed, America has turned
the corner after experiencing the worst eco-
nomic crisis since the Great Depression.
Obama didnt go that far in his own
remarks, but he said rmly, We are not going
back, we are moving forward, America.
With unemployment at 8.3 percent, the
president said the task of recovering from the
economic disaster of 2008 is exceeded in
American history only by the challenge
Franklin Delano Roosevelt faced when he
took ofce in 1933.
It will require common effort, shared
responsibility and the kind of bold persistent
experimentation that FDR employed, Obama
said.
In an appeal to independent voters who
might be considering a vote for Romney, he
added that those who carry on Roosevelts
legacy should remember that not every prob-
lem can be remedied with another government
program or dictate from Washington.
He said, The truth is, it will take more than
a few years for us to solve challenges that
have built up over the decades.
In the run-up to Obamas speech, delegates
erupted in tumultuous cheers when former
Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, grievously
wounded in a 2011 assassination attempt,
walked onstage to lead the Pledge of
Allegiance. The hall grew louder when she
blew kisses to the crowd.
And louder still when huge video screens
inside the hall showed the face of Osama bin
Laden, the terrorist mastermind killed in a
daring raid on his Pakistani hideout by U.S.
special operations forces b(euro) on a mis-
sion approved by the current commander in
chief.
The hall was lled to capacity long before
Obama stepped to the podium, and ofcials
shut off the entrances because of a fear of
overcrowding for a speech that the campaign
had originally slated for the 74,000-seat foot-
ball stadium nearby. Aides said weather con-
cerns prompted the move to the convention
arena, capacity 15,000 or so.
Obamas campaign said the president would
ask the country to rally around a real achiev-
able plan that will create jobs, expand oppor-
tunity and ensure an economy built to last.
He added, The truth is it will take more
than a few years for us to solve challenges that
have built up over a decade.
In convention parlance, both Obama and
Biden were delivering acceptance speeches
before delegates who nominated them for new
terms in ofce.
But the political significance went far
beyond that the moment when the general
election campaign begins in earnest even
though Obama and Romney have been point-
ing toward a Nov. 6 showdown for months.
To the cheers of delegates, Obama retraced
his steps to halt the economic slide, including
the auto bailout that Romney opposed.
After a decade of decline, this country cre-
ated over a half million manufacturing jobs in
the last two and a half years, he said.
Turning to national security, he said he had
promised to end the war in Iraq, and had done
so.
Weve blunted the Talibans momentum in
Afghanistan, and in 2014 our longest war will
be over, he said.
A new tower rises above the New York sky-
line, al-Qaida is on the path to defeat and
Osama bin Laden is dead, he declared, one of
the nights repeated references to the special
operations forces raid that resulted in the ter-
rorist masterminds demise more than a year
ago.
He lampooned Romneys own economic
proposals.
Have a surplus? Try a tax cut. Decit too
high? Try another. Feel a cold coming on?
Take two tax cuts, roll back some regulations
and call us in the morning, he said.
Mocking Romney for his overseas trip ear-
lier this summer, Obama said, You might not
be ready for diplomacy with Beijing if you
cant visit the Olympics without insulting our
closest ally. That was a reference to a verbal
gaffe the former Massachusetts governor
committed while visiting London.
The hall was lled to capacity long before
Obama stepped to the podium, and ofcials
shut off the entrances because of a fear of
overcrowding for a speech that the campaign
had originally slated for the 74,000-seat foot-
ball stadium nearby. Aides said weather con-
cerns prompted the move to the convention
arena, capacity 15,000 or so.
Obamas campaign said the president would
ask the country to rally around a real achiev-
able plan that will create jobs, expand oppor-
tunity and ensure an economy built to last.
Biden told the convention in his own speech
that he had watched as Obama made one
gutsy decision after another to stop an eco-
nomic free-fall after they took ofce in 2009.
Now, he said, were on a mission to move
this nation forward b(euro) from doubt and
downturn to promise and prosperity. ...
America has turned the corner.
Delegates who packed into their convention
hall were serenaded by singer James Taylor
and rocked by R&B blues artist Mary J. Blige
as they awaited Obamas speech.
There was no end to the jabs aimed at
Romney and the Republicans.
Ask Osama bin Laden if hes better off
than four years ago, said Massachusetts Sen.
John Kerry, who lost the 2004 election in a
close contest with President George W. Bush.
It was a mocking answer to the Republicans
repeated question of whether Americans are
better off than when Obama took ofce.
The campaign focus was shifting quickly
b(euro) to politically sensitive monthly
unemployment gures due out Friday morn-
ing and the rst presidential debate on Oct. 3
in Denver. Wall Street hit a four-year high a
few hours before Obamas speech after the
European Central Bank laid out a concrete
plan to support the regions struggling coun-
tries.
The economy is by far the dominant issue in
the campaign, and the differences between
Obama and his challenger could hardly be
more pronounced.
Romney wants to extend all tax cuts that are
due to expire on Dec. 31 with an additional 20
percent reduction in rates across the board,
arguing that job growth would result. He also
favors deep cuts in domestic programs rang-
ing from education to parks, repeal of the
health care legislation that Obama pushed
through Congress and landmark changes in
Medicare, the program that provides health
care to seniors.

We were given advice by the state chancel-
lors to look at it, said Barbara Christensen,
director of community/government relations
for the district.
Aside from the prompting, the district regu-
larly reviews its elections process. On Sept.
12, the district is holding a public hearing on
the matter and, depending on the interest, may
hold another the following week. At some
point after that, the issue will be agendized,
Christensen said.
The district oversees three colleges and
serves more than 40,000 students annually.
Trustees for the ve-member board are not
required to live within a certain geographic
area or district.
The differences in the two systems are pri-
marily how many voters a candidate needs to
convince and how much money it will cost to
run. At-large elections ask voters to choose
board members to represent the entire county
instead of just the district from which they are
elected. Proponents argue this makes mem-
bers more accountable to all voters and limits
factions on the board. Opponents, however,
say the system tends to be more expensive
because of the countywide campaigning
required.
In district elections, voters only choose a
representative from within specic boundaries
which cuts down on campaign costs for candi-
dates but which opponents say leave board
members with a narrow focus on only the spe-
cic concerns of their district.
The California Voting Rights Act of 2001
prohibits at-large elections if they dilute the
voting inuence of minority groups. The act is
largely the basis of the pending lawsuit against
San Mateo County which elects its supervi-
sors countywide to represent individual dis-
tricts.
In response, county voters in November will
be asked whether to keep the status quo or
switch to district elections. San Mateo County
voters rejected similar proposals to change the
system in both 1978 and 1980.
But changing the districts system will take
more than just a vote to do so. The board will
rst need to draw district boundaries and
decide whether to keep the current ve mem-
bers or expand to nine seats. With ve trustees,
each district would include 136,000 to
150,000 voters. A seven-member board drops
the number of constituents to between 97,000
and 107,000.
A change could happen as soon as
November 2013, depending on how long the
drawing of boundaries takes, Christensen said.
On that timeline, current trustees would n-
ish out their terms but those with terms ending
in 2013 would need to live within the new dis-
tricts to seek re-election.
The San Mateo County Community College
District Board hearing is 7:30 p.m.
Wednesday, Sept. 12 at the College District
Office boardroom, 3401 CSM Drive, San
Mateo.

at either the Palo Alto or Sunnyvale stations to
help alleviate crowding. Four trains are being
reinstated during midday and the nal two
new trains will be added to the evening peak
period, one from each direction.
Despite increased ridership, Caltrain does
not have a dedicated funding source and has
relied on one-time funds in recent years to
meet its operating budget.
Twenty-four consecutive months of
increasing ridership clearly demonstrates the
demand for Caltrain service, both for riders
today and in the future. The Caltrain
Modernization Program, which will bring
faster, quieter, more frequent service to more
stations and more riders is key to meeting this
demand and it will reduce the subsidy needed
to operate the service, JPB Chair Adrienne
Tissier, also president of the San Mateo
County Board of Supervisors, wrote the Daily
Journal in an email. But the system will still
require some subsidy which can only be
assured through a dedicated source of fund-
ing.
When the Joint Powers Board took over the
operation of Caltrain in June 1992, average
weekday ridership was 20,161. Since then,
ridership has increased nearly 150 percent.
Caltrain was just awarded nearly $700 mil-
lion to electrify its system to be compatible
with the states high-speed rail project.
Caltrain could be electried as soon as 2019.

Mexico, according to police.
His rental car was found abandoned in the
parking lot of the Alameda marina from which
the 2007 sailboat was stolen on Tuesday,
according to police.
Police said he had visited the owner of the
vessel with the two children and inquired
about buying it two weeks before. On
Thursday, an extensive air and ground search
was conducted by multiple jurisdictions but
the vessel was not located, according to
police.
The sailboat is white with Unleashed and
San Francisco, CA painted on the stern.
Brooklynn was last seen wearing a white,
sleeveless dress with blue and green designs.
Devin was last seen wearing a short-sleeve
SpongeBob shirt and a diaper, according to
police.
South San Francisco police are working on
conjunction with several state, county and fed-
eral agencies to locate Maffei and the chil-
dren. Anyone with any information on the
yacht, the children or Maffei is asked to call
the South San Francisco Police Department at

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
One Direction had the girls screaming,
Frank Ocean gave a soft, poignant perform-
ance and Chris Brown and Drake were in the
same venue with not a bottle thrown. Save
for a saucy Rihanna number and a few off-
color jokes, the MTV Video Music Awards
were a rather tame affair this year.
Perhaps thats to be expected with a group
of teenagers at the center of things.
Rihanna started the show with a sexy med-
ley performance before capping it with a win
for the nights top honor, video of the year.
One Direction owned the rest of the show.
The heartthrob British boy band quickly
changed the focus Thursday night, winning
three awards and stealing the attention from
Rihanna.
Weve grown up watching this show and
to even be here is an honor, Niall Horan
said from the stage.
Rihanna kicked off the party sitting regal-
ly upon a throne as she performed her new
song Cockiness (I Love It) with A$AP
Rocky and two groups of dancers. She then
made her way into the pit at the Staples
Center in Los Angeles and launched into her
hit We Found Love as she weaved through
the crowd, touching hands with dozens of
fans.
Doesnt my girl Rihanna look sexy
tonight? Katy Perry asked the crowd after
the performance.
The camera was on her all night when
it wasnt highlighting One Direction. The
group quickly took the overall spotlight,
bringing high-pitched screams from the
crowd upon winning best pop video. It was
the nights first televised award and one of
five top-nominee Rihanna was up for. They
also won best new artist and the most share-
worthy moonman.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2012
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- An opportunity might
come your way through a very unusual channel. Pay
attention if someone with a good track record ap-
proaches you with a unique proposition.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If youre negotiating
something important, be leery of making unneces-
sary concessions. Youre in a stronger bargaining
position than you may realize.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Even though you might
be drawn into a problematical situation not of your
own making, after everything and everybody settles
down, it could end up being extremely benefcial.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Dont rush to
judgment regarding an idea hatched by your spouse
or signifcant other. After considering other factors, it
might not be as outlandish as you frst thought.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Owing to your
ability to revitalize endeavors that are gasping for life,
friends and associates might end up looking on you
as a champion of lost causes.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Think twice before
rejecting a social invitation to join a gathering that
would involve meeting new people. Chances are it
will turn out to be an entry into a wonderful, new
group.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Lady Luck may take it
upon herself to engineer two new, potentially proft-
able developments for you. Each will be completely
different from and unrelated to the other.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Do your best to put
your colleagues and playmates at ease. In fact, there
could be more than one person with sagging spirits
who could use some serious buoying up.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Because your upbeat
attitude has you seeing orchids where others only see
weeds, chances are youll be the one who spots a
great opportunity that all of your cohorts are missing.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Some of your ideas
concerning a promising situation are excellent. Now
all you need is to have enough belief in your abilities
to put your ideas to work.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Because what goes
around comes around, you are likely to be rewarded
for a previous kindness. Ironically, recompense wont
come from the original recipient.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Even at the expense of
shelving an ongoing project, stop and devote some
time to getting your latest interest started. Chances
are youll make more productive headway with this
new project.

BIDDERS If you are considering bidding
on this property lien, you should under-
stand that there are risks involved in bid-
ding at a trustee auction. You will be bid-
ding on a lien, not on a property itself.
Placing the highest bid at a trustee auc-
tion does not automatically entitle you to
free and clear ownership of the property.
You should also be aware that the lien
being auctioned off may be a junior lien.
If you are the highest bidder at the auc-
tion, you are or may be responsible for
paying off all liens senior to the lien being
auctioned off, before you can receive
clear title to the property. You are en-
couraged to investigate the existence,
priority, and size of outstanding liens that
may exist on this property by contacting
the county recorder's office or a title in-
surance company, either of which may
charge you a fee for this information. If
you consult either of these resources,
you should be aware that the lender may
hold more than one mortgage or deed of
trust on the property. NOTICE TO

shown on this notice of sale may be
postponed one or more times by the

DIFFERENTIAL RESPONSE CASE MANAGEMENT
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP)
San Mateo Countys Human Services Agency (HSA) seeks organizations/agencies who will sub-
mit a proposal(s) to provide Differential Response Case Management. Differential Response
(DR) is an evidence-based prevention and early intervention strategy to reduce child abuse and
neglect. It provides for a flexible, customized approach within identified response paths to re-
ports of child abuse or neglect. This RFP seeks proposals to provide DR case management for
Paths 1 and 2 in our north county and south county regions. Funds for the implementation of
the awarded contracts would be available for a maximum of three years in the amount of
$402,500 per region, for a combined total of $805,000 per year. The term for the contracts is
January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2015.
Differential Response Paths
Path 1 Community Partner Response
Path 1 is selected when the screening assessment of a referral indicates that there are no safety
threats that have been identified. The family, however, may need supportive services to over-
come difficult life situations or parenting challenges. The community partner will help families
with immediate resources including counseling, parenting classes, and emergency food assis-
tance.
Path 2 Joint Response
Path 2 is selected when the assigned Children & Family Services (CFS) Social Worker has de-
termined that there are no safety threats and there is low to moderate risk of harm to the child.
The CFS Social Worker and Community Partner work as a team to offer supportive services,
and follow-up to help the family. Families are encouraged to use services, but participation is
voluntary. The Social Worker closes the referral, and the Community Partner provides the indi-
cated services.
The RFP will be available starting 09/10/2012 and may be obtained by emailing a request to
dpomeroy@smchsa.org or by mail to:

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIRUT After hours of heavy shelling,
Syrian troops recaptured a border town
Thursday in what activists said was a govern-
ment attempt to stem the ood of people ee-
ing their countrys civil war.
Syrian rebels had been in control of Tel
Chehab, along the Jordanian border, for
months despite repeated assaults by pro-gov-
ernment troops, local activist Mohammed Abu
Houran said.
In the latest clashes, hundreds of
Syrian soldiers backed by 20 tanks
assaulted Tel Chehab, according to Abu
Houran and the Britain-based Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights.
Rebels fought back but were pushed out,
activists said.
A Jordanian army ofcer living just across
the border said by telephone that he had heard
heavy shelling starting early in the morning,
but that it had subsided by midday.
It sounded like the shelling came from
tanks and armored vehicles, said the ofcer,
who spoke on condition of anonymity because
army regulations forbid him from being iden-
tied in press accounts.
The activists did not have casualty gures.
Abu Houran said at least 2,000 refugees were
waiting in the town for the chance to cross the
border. Most of them were staying in two
schools.
Jury convicts Drew
Peterson of third wifes death
JOLIET, Ill. Drew Peterson the crass
former Illinois police ofcer who gained noto-
riety after his much-
younger wife vanished in
2007 was convicted
Thursday of murdering a
previous wife in a poten-
tially precedent-setting
case centered on second-
hand hearsay statements.
Peterson, 58, sat stoical-
ly looking straight ahead
and did not react as the
judge announced jurors
had found him guilty of rst-degree murder in
the death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio.
Her relatives gasped, then fell into each
others arms and cried.
Illinois has no death penalty, and Peterson
now faces a maximum 60-year prison term
when sentenced Nov. 26.
The trial was the rst of its kind in Illinois
history, with prosecutors building their case
largely on hearsay thanks to a new law,
dubbed Drews Law, tailored to Petersons
case. That hearsay, prosecutors had said,
would let his third and fourth wives speak
from their graves through family and friends
to convict Peterson.
Hearsay is any information reported by a
witness that is not based on the witness direct
knowledge. Defense attorneys said its use at
the trial would be central to their appeal.
Both relief and excitement showed on the
faces of Savios family members as they
stepped out of the crowing courtroom. Her sis-
ter, Susan Doman, threw herself into the arms
of her husband.
Finally, finally, finally, Mitch Doman,
Savios brother-in-law, said as he and his wife
cried. Seconds later, he looked up at a reporter
and said with a smile, We nally got that
murdering bastard!
Tests confirm oil came from BP spill
NEW ORLEANS Laboratory tests show
that globs of oil found on two Louisiana
beaches after Hurricane Isaac came from the
2010 BP spill.
Tests run by Louisiana State University for
state wildlife ofcials conrmed that oil found
on Elmers Island and Grand Isle matched the
biological ngerprint of the hundreds of mil-
lions of gallons of oil that spewed from BPs
Macondo well.
On Wednesday, BP PLC said oil from its
spill had been exposed by Isaacs waves and
that the company would work to clean it up.
Ed Overton, the LSU chemist who did the
state tests, said the oil found on Elmers Island
had not degraded much while oil at Grand Isle
had.
Both were good solid matches on Macondo
oil, Overton said.
Two other samples collected from another
barrier island did not match the signature of
oil from the BP well.
Experts expected that hurricane waves
would stir up oil buried along the Gulf Coast
and that Isaac, which made landfall on Aug.
28 and soaked the region in the days after-
ward, apparently did just that. Reports of tar
balls washing up on beaches after the storm
were reported in Alabama and Louisiana, two
states that got hit hard by BPs massive off-
shore oil spill.
On Tuesday, scouts found what they
described as a large tar mat on the beaches of
Elmers Island, prompting state ofcials to
close a 13-mile stretch of beach and restrict
shing along that shoreline.
Still, Overton said the discovery of the
buried oil does not mean that the Gulf is see-
ing a repeat of the summer of 2010, when oil
was spewing from an out-of-control well
about 55 miles off the Louisiana coast.
