Burlingame residents gathered
Wednesday night looking for answers
as to why a building at the corner of
Trousdale and Ogden drives has
remained unnished for so many years.
The community members met at the
Burlingame School District Offices,
across the street from the project, with
representatives from Sunrise Senior
Living who ew in from the East Coast
to deliver an update at the citys
request.
The four-story, 79-unit project at
1818 Trousdale Drive was originally
approved by the Planning
Commission in 2006, but ran into
bumps due to the 2008 economic
downturn, the company said.
At the meeting, Andy Coelho, senior
vice president of facilities and con-
struction for Sunrise expressed his dis-
appointment with the project. He said
he believes an opening could be as
soon as fall 2014. Sunrise is hoping to
get nancing for the project in the
next month or so.
Im so upset that we had to pause
this project, Coelho said. I love to
build and it really hurt to go against
what I like to do, but Im really sorry. I
dont have to look at it like you do
every day. Im excited for this project
and the good news is that there is for-
ward progress.

If you like chili and reghters,
San Mateo is the place to be this
weekend.
The San Mateo City Fireghters
Association is hosting their fth
annual Chili Cook-Off at which
Woodside Fire Department will
defend its title.
According to San Mateo fire-
ghter Sean Sims the cook-off was
originally organized to raise
money for the Muscular Dystrophy
Association. The reghters want-
ed an event that was a little differ-
ent from their Fill the Boot cam-
paign in which reghters collect
funds for muscular dystrophy needs
by holding out their boots to put
money in. Last year, the reght-
ers raised $13,000 and the goal for
this year is $17,000.
Its a little more fun, Sims
said. Still, the end game is to
raise money for MDA.

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Like many youth who enter into
the state foster care system,
Jasean Edison spent most of his
childhood being relocated and
struggling to nd a consistent car-
ing adult.
When he was 8, his mother
became unable to provide for him
so his great aunt was awarded
guardianship, Edison said. He
spent the next seven years with
relatives until he faced another
signicant upheaval.
My auntie said that she didnt
want to take care of me anymore,
so she just dropped me off at the
police station one day, Edison
said.
Edison was placed into numer-
ous group homes where he spent
the rest of his adolescence under
the care of strangers. Fortunately,

Health system gets revamp
San Mateo Countys health depart-
ment and medical center were com-
bined into one approximately $500
million health system and a search
launched to fill the
newly-created chief
position the week of
Aug. 23, 2008.
Rather than have the
countys public hospital and
Health Department work independ-
ently, the goal was to have them
come together with one goal under
the umbrella of a single chief.
The revamped approach to care
was an offshoot of ongoing work on
the countys health functions.
Proponents believed combining the
two areas will help balance revenue
with expenses, narrow delivery dis-
parities and prepare for future needs.
The notion of a Chief of the Health
System was spurred by the search to
replace outgoing County Manager
John Maltbie. Six months into the
redesign initiative, participants
realized a new structure was the best
approach.
Garbage guys talk trash
Allied Waste, the Peninsulas
current garbage collection
provider, said the week of Aug.
23, 2008 customers would be
charged $54 million more than
necessary by a 10-year contract
with a competing company recom-
mended for the next agreement.
South Bayside waste Management
Authority announced its selection of
Norcal Waste Systems as
the collection services
contractor once the con-
tract with Allied ends in
December 2010. Allied
was previously passed over
to continue operating the Shoreway
Recycling and Disposal Center in
San Carlos. The company hoped to
win an extension of its current curb-
side collection service but again
lost out with the selection of
Norcal.
The selected Norcal proposal was
$44.4 million annually while Allied
turned in a proposal for $43.5 mil-
lion per year. In a letter set to the 12
member agencies of SBWMA, Allied
officials argue its proposal has more
than $54 million in savings by
extending the contract to 2020.
Allied also said it would save $42
million by retrofitting the existing
Shoreway transfer facility rather
than completely demolishing the
facility under the current $54 mil-
lion plan suggested by SBWMA.
Court denies review of
former mayor's conviction
Former San Carlos mayor Mike
Kings 2006 felony fraud conviction
stood after a state court the week of
Aug. 23, 2008 declined to reconsid-
er an appellate courts refusal to
reverse the guilty finding.
In April 2006, after a two-week
trial, a jury convicted King of
defrauding what is now known as the
Belmont-San Carlos Fire
Department by submitting
more than $13,000 in false
invoices for political con-
sultant Margaret Peg Colliers
alleged help finding firefighters
jobs after Measure I, a parcel tax for
salaries, failed. The financially lim-
ited campaign ended without the
funds to repay Collier approximate-
ly $17,000 for fliers and postage.
Paying campaign expenses with
public money is against the law.
In February 2004, King faxed
Collier what he said was simply a
template of how to bill work he
thought was completed. However,
Collier testified she never helped
firefighters find new jobs and King
knew it.
Belmont city officials brought the
allegations to authorities and a
criminal grand jury indicted King in
February 2006, just two months
after finishing his final City
Council term. He was sentenced to
45 days in jail.

If clothes do make the man or woman
San Carlos employees and officials may
be made over into an even more unified
team.
The City Council Monday night will
mull over an idea of team apparel, an
idea first floated by Councilman Matt
Grocott back in March.
A town has an identity with its func-
tions like the police department or ele-
mentary schools. If you lose that, where
are you? Grocott said.
City staff isnt giving the concept a
thumbs up or down but is presenting the
council with three possible purchasing
options. Each include different combina-
tions of T-shirts, polo shirts, jackets,
caps, umbrellas and golf balls and range in
cost from $9,500 to $25,900 in one-time
costs. Ongoing annual costs for new hires
and officials wouldnt be more than
$4, 200.
Grocott said cost is certainly a factor but
the request isnt a great deal of funding in
the grand scheme.
You could be penny wise and pound
foolish in not doing things to build a
sense of team and service. If morale is
poor is that worth it? Grocott asked.
The city-themed clothing would not be a
mandated uniform but simply a piece of
clothing to be worn as the owner chooses,
particularly when representing the city at
regional meetings or local events such as
Hometown Days.
Councilman Ron Collins supports the
idea. Collins proudly sports a wide range
of San Carlos-themed gear, including a
City of Good Living hat, but thinks city
workers and leaders would benefit from
items not necessarily available to the
greater public. The shirts or
golf balls or what have you
will foster a sense of
pride, he said.
There are
v a r i o u s
b u s i -
nesses
wh e r e
people
w e a r
s o me-
t h i n g
t h a t
identi-
fies them and if
it doesnt cost
too much money
whats the harm?
he said. I dont
think its a budget
buster.
The funding
could possibly come from
the citys estimated unrestricted
fund balance of $3.45 million.
The first $9,500 option calls for coun-
cilmembers and commissioners each get-
ting the clothing, umbrella and a dozen
golf balls. All employees receive T-shirts
and full-time and regular workers get polo
shirts. Employees could personally pur-
chase the other gear.
The second $14,800 option mimics the
first but all employees including tempo-
rary and season will get a cap.
Management employees receive jackets,
umbrellas and golf balls.
The last option, at a cost of $25,900,
gives all officials and employees the
clothing, umbrella and golf balls.
If the City Council likes the
idea of the apparel, the next
step is picking the
placement of the city
seal.
C o u n c i l m a n
Mark Olbert
said he has no
strong feel-
ings one
way or
the other about the
proposal but thinks it could
be a money-making oppor-
tunity if the public is allowed to purchase
items, too.
The city staff report also references the
possibility of creating an online store.

p.m. Monday, Aug. 26 at City Hall, 600

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
With the new eastern span of the Bay
Bridge opening in less than two weeks,
bridge ofcials Thursday highlighted the
bike and pedestrian path that will be part of
the new structure.
The path, the rst of its kind on either
span of the Bay Bridge, will open sometime
shortly after the new eastern span opens to
vehicle trafc on Sept. 3, bridge spokesman
Andrew Gordon said.
People have not been able to walk or ride
their bikes legally on the Bay Bridge until
this moment, Gordon said. Were going to
get people out there to experience the Bay
and the Bay Bridge in a whole new way.
Gordon and other Caltrans ofcials took
media members on a tour yesterday after-
noon of the construction site on Yerba
Buena Island underneath the new span,
where construction crews were lifting seg-
ments of a temporary 650-foot section of
the bike and pedestrian path onto the
bridge.
The temporary section will be installed
during the extended closure of the bridge
that begins next Wednesday at 8 p.m. and
will replace part of the westbound approach
to the old eastern span that is being demol-
ished, Gordon said.
It will connect to the new spans perma-
nent bike pathway, which is expected to be
completed and connected to Treasure Island
by late 2014 or early 2015 after the old
bridge is taken apart and removed, accord-
ing to Gordon.
In the meantime, bicyclists and pedestri-
ans will have to turn around after going
about two-thirds of the way across the new
eastern span while the construction work
continues, Gordon said.
The pathway will be 15.5 feet wide and
have three lanes one for pedestrians, one
for westbound bicyclists and one for east-
bound ones, he said.
The bridge pathway will link to trails
toward Maritime Street in West Oakland and
Shellmound Street in Emeryville and will
feature lookout points where people can
catch their breath or take in the view,
Gordon said.
Gregory Allen, project manager at MCM
Construction Inc., one of the contractors on
the bridge project, said, once youre up on
the bridge ... you can see everything, its
pretty nice.
The California Highway Patrol will be
patrolling the bridge on bicycles to ensure
that all trafc laws are followed on the new
pathway, CHP Ofcer Daniel Hill said.
Bicyclists on the path could particularly
pick up speed headed east on a 2 percent
downhill grade back toward the East Bay and
are subject to a 15 mph speed limit, Hill
said.
We want to make sure people have equal
access to the bridge, he said.
Skateboards and skates are not permitted
on the pathway, which will be open from
sunrise to sunset until further notice, bridge
ofcials said.
Gordon said he expects large crowds to go
on the bridge when the pathway opens,
which he said could come as soon as hours
after the bridge opens to vehicular trafc
after the Labor Day holiday weekend.
We expect people to want to come out,
he said. Its a brand-new experience that
the Bay Area has not had before.

One oor of the San Mateo County
Government Center in Redwood City
was evacuated Thursday morning after
a county worker opened a letter con-
taining a mysterious powdery sub-

The substance was never identied
although tested and determined not to

Awoman who works for the countys

Some of the substance got on her and
she felt a burning on her lips and n-
gers, but continued working and left

Rosenblatt said.
The employee felt OK yesterday

office about the letter before she
returned to the
building. In turn,
department offi-
cials called the
sheriffs ofce.
Sheriffs per-
sonnel responded
around 8:30 a.m. Thursday with a haz-
ardous materials team.
The second oor of the county build-
ing was evacuated, and as of 10:30

FORT MEADE, Md. Bradley Manning
wants to live as a woman named Chelsea and
begin hormone treatment as soon as possi-
ble, the soldier said a day after being sen-

Manning announced the decision
Thursday in a statement provided to NBCs

my life, I want everyone to know the real
me. I am Chelsea Manning. I am a female.
Given the way that I feel, and have felt since
childhood, I want to begin hormone therapy
as soon as possible, the statement read.
The statement asked people to use the
feminine pronoun when referring to
Manning. It was signed Chelsea E.
Manning.
Manning received the
stiffest punishment ever
handed out in the U.S. for
leaking information to
the media. With good
behavior and credit for
more than three years of
time served, Manning
could be out in as little as
seven years, the soldiers
attorney David Coombs
said.
Coombs told Today he hoped ofcials at
the military prison in Fort Leavenworth,
Kan., will accommodate Mannings request
for hormone treatment. If they dont ,
Coombs said he would do everything in my
power to make it happen.
The Army said it doesnt provide the treat-
ment or sex-reassignment surgery.
All inmates are considered soldiers and
are treated as such with access to mental
health professionals, including a psychia-
trist, psychologist, social workers and
behavioral science noncommissioned of-
cers, Army spokesman George Wright
said.
Many transgender people use cross-sex
hormone treatments to alter their gender
characteristics. Guidelines from the
Endocrine Society endorse the therapy
along with monitoring for potential health
risks of long-term use. For instance, high
doses of the female sex hormone estrogen
given to someone born male promote breast
development.
Leavenworth is an all-male prison.
Spokesman George Marcec said there had
never been a case similar to Mannings, and
the soldier would need to petition for a
transfer to a federal prison to receive hor-
mone treatment.
Manning wants to live as a woman
SAN FRANCISCO San Franciscos city
attorney took legal action Thursday to stop
the agency that certies two-year colleges
in the western U.S. from revoking the
accreditation of the citys community col-
lege, a sanction likely to force Californias
largest school to close.
City Attorney Dennis Herrera led a law-
suit alleging that politics, not performance,
is behind the penalty the Accrediting
Commission for Community and Junior
Colleges imposed on City College of San
Francisco last month.
The commission notied City College
that it would lose its accreditation next sum-
mer for failing to meet quality assurance
standards in areas such as nancial manage-
ment and instructional standards. Because
unaccredited schools are ineligible for state
and federal funding, the revocation would
likely force the college of 85,000 students
to close.
While the college appeals the decision,
Herrera is asking a judge to block the com-
mission from terminating the schools cer-
tication if the appeal is unsuccessful. In
the citys lawsuit, he alleges that City
College is being punished because its lead-
ers strongly opposed a statewide plan
designed to increase the number of commu-
nity college students earning degrees and to
shorten the amount of time it takes for them
to do it.
The commission favored the plan, and
some of its members have nancial ties to
for-prot colleges that could benet by the
closure of City College, he said.
San Francisco sues to block college sanctions
By Jason Dearen
SAN FRANCISCO California public
health ofcials on Thursday submitted a safe
drinking water standard for the cancer-caus-
ing chemical highlighted in the lm Erin
Brockovich.
The proposed standard submitted by
California Department of Public Health
comes weeks after an Alameda County judge
ordered ofcials to adopt the standard for the
chemical hexavalent chromium, also
known as chromium-6.
State water quality tests conducted
between 2000 and 2011 showed that about a
third of 7,000 drinking water sources tested
had hexavalent chromium levels at or above
a preliminary benchmark set by the
California EPA.
State and federal standards currently limit
chromium, which includes chromium-6 and
chromium-3, which is harmless.
Californias new standard would limit
chromium-6.
The chemical is a form of industrial pollu-
tion; it is used in the production of stainless
steel, leather tanning and as an anti-corro-
sive.
The harms of hexavalent chromium were
exposed by the lm Erin Brockovich,
starring Julia Roberts, which detailed the
case of Pacic Gas & Electric Corp. The util-
ity was accused of leaking the contaminant
into the groundwater of Hinckley, a small
desert town, causing health problems.
The California Legislature passed a law in
2001 that directed public health agencies to
set an enforceable drinking water standard
for the chemical by 2004. That was delayed
after a scientic dispute over whether it was
a carcinogenic when ingested in water, as
opposed to inhaled.
In 2007, federal scientists at the National
Toxicology Program conrmed that chromi-
um-6 is also carcinogenic when ingested.

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

BUFFALO, N.Y. Calling higher educa-
tion an economic imperative, President
Barack Obama is pushing for an ambitious
new government rating system for colleges
that would judge schools on affordability
and performance and ultimately determine
how federal nancial aid is distributed.
The rating system, which the president
wants implemented before the 2015 school
year, would evaluate colleges on several
criteria, including average tuition and stu-
dent loan debt, graduation rates, and the
average earning of graduates. Obama says
he will ask Congress to link the new rating
system to the way federal nancial aid is
disbursed, with students attending highly-
rated schools receiving larger grants and
more affordable student loans.
Its time to stop subsidizing schools
that are not producing good results and
reward schools that deliver American stu-
dents of our future, Obama told a crowd of
more than 7,000 at the University of
Buffalo.
Obama detailed his proposal on the rst
stop of a two-day bus tour through New
York and Pennsylvania. The tour under-
scores the White Houses desire to stay
focused on domestic issues, even as foreign
policy crises in Egypt and Syria vie for his
attention.
Throughout the summer, the White House
has been seeking to keep the presidents
public agenda centered on middle-class eco-
nomic issues as a way to rally public sup-
port for his positions ahead of looming
battles in the fall with congressional
Republicans over the budget and raising the
nations debt limit. On Thursday, he tried to
draw a clear distinction with some of his
Republican opponents.
Rather than seeking, keeping focus on a
growing economy that creates good middle-
class jobs, you know, weve seen a faction
of Republicans in Congress suggest that
maybe America shouldnt pay its bills that
have already been run up, that we should
shut down government if they cant shut
down Obamacare, Obama said.
Obama said a big part of middle-class
security includes fundamentally rethinking
how to pay for higher education.
President proposes new
system for rating colleges
By Charles Babington
WASHINGTON More than a third of
House Republicans urged their leader
Thursday to trigger a government shutdown
rather than fund the implementation of the
health care overhaul they call Obamacare.
A letter from 80 Republicans asked
Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, to resist
any spending bills that would accommodate
the new health care law, which is nearing a
critical stage of signing up millions of
Americans for health coverage.
Because its virtually certain that
President Barack Obama and the
Democratic-controlled Senate would reject
such demands, leaders of both parties say
the standoff likely would result in a partial
shutdown of the federal government, similar
to those that occurred in 1995 and 1996.
The letter is mixed news for Boehner and
other GOP leaders who view a government
shutdown as politically unwise.
With 80 of the Houses 233 Republicans
signing the letter, a solid majority of 153
has refrained from trying to limit Boehners
options. That presumably would allow the
speaker to push a bipartisan bill that funds
the health law and is supported by a major-
ity of the majority of his fellow
Republicans, which Boehner says is essen-
tial.
However, he would need more than 60
Democratic votes to pass such a bill. That
would give Democrats a major voice in its
details.
The federal 2013 scal year ends Sept. 30.
New money must be appropriated by then to
avoid a shutdown of countless government
ofces and agencies.
Voters chiefly blamed congressional
Republicans for the mid-1990s shutdowns,
and the fallout boosted Democratic
President Bill Clinton. Ever since, many
establishment Republicans have urged the
party to avoid using shutdown threats as a
bargaining tool.
Eighty House members: Shutdown better than Obamacare
Non-citizens could
be jurors under state bill
SACRAMENTO California would
become the rst state to allow non-citizens
who are in the country legally to serve as
jurors under a bill that cleared the Assembly
on Thursday and heads to Gov. Jerry
Browns desk.
If signed into law, the legislation would
make immigrants who are legal permanent
residents eligible for jury duty.
It would not change other requirements for
jurors, such as being at least 18 years old
and having English prociency. They also
must live in the county making the sum-
mons.
Assemblyman Bob Wieckowski, D-
Fremont, said AB1401 would help
California widen the pool of prospective
jurors and help integrate immigrants into
their community. Immigrants already can
serve in other roles in the courts system,
including working as judges, he said.
Immigrants are our friends, immigrants
are our neighbors, immigrants are our co-
workers and immigrants are our family
members, Wieckowski said. They are part
of the fabric of our community.
The Assembly passed AB1401 on
Thursday on a largely party-line vote of 41-
26. Three Democrats Assemblymen Ken
Cooley of Rancho Cordova, Adam Gray of
Merced and Rudy Salas of Bakerseld
joined Republicans in opposing the meas-
ure.
Judge says California water
can be released for salmon
FRESNO A U.S. District judge says
water can be released from a Northern
California reservoir to prevent a salmon
kill in the lower Klamath River.
The ruling late Thursday on the Trinity
Reservoir from Judge Lawrence J. ONeill
comes after San Joaquin Valley farmers sued
the federal government over the releases of
water, saying they would be illegal and fur-
ther decrease the little available to them for
irrigation.
ONeill had ordered the releases temporar-
ily stopped last week while he made a long-
term decision.
He said that in the week since, a change in
environmental conditions has meant that
two-thirds less water than expected was
required for the salmon.
Ofcials expect a large fall run of salmon,
but fear low water will lead to mass salmon
deaths as happened in 2002.

JERUSALEM Militants in Lebanon red
four rockets into Israel on Thursday, setting
off air raid sirens and startling a nation
already on edge over turmoil along its north-
ern and southern borders.j
Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, a military
spokesman, said three rockets landed in
northern Israel, while a fourth was intercept-
ed by Israels Iron Dome rocket defense
system. No one was injured, and the military
dismissed the attack as an isolated inci-
dent.
Still, the rockets added to the nations fears
at a time it is nervously watching unrest in
neighboring Syria, where the government
has been accused of using chemical weapons
against rebels and civilians this week. Its
also worried about Egypt to the south, where
Islamic militants have stepped up their activ-
ities near the Israeli border in the wake of a
military coup.
We are acting on all fronts, in the north
and in the south, to defend the citizens of
Israel from such attacks, Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu said in a videotaped
statement.
We employ various measures, both defen-
sive and preventive, and we are acting
responsibly, he added. Our policy is clear:
to protect and to prevent. Whoever tries to
harm us should know we will harm them.
Lerner, the military spokesman, said the
rockets were red from a location south of the
Lebanese port city of Tyre. He said two rock-
ets landed in populated areas, while a third
landed in an open eld.
Israels Channel 10 TV showed pictures
from Gesher Haziv, a communal farm near the
Lebanese border, of a large rocket fragment
lying on the ground near a white car with
shattered windows and at tires and pocked
with shrapnel holes in its side. Security men
cleaned up rocket fragments from the ground.
Lerner said the attack was an unprovoked
attack on Israeli citizens but that Israel did
not retaliate.
He blamed global jihad elements for the
attack, a term Israel uses when referring to
groups either linked to or inspired by al-
Qaida. Israel blamed the same elements for a
rocket attack last week against the southern
port city of Eilat.
Israel military: Four rockets fired into country
Lawyer: U.K. mounts
criminal inquiry into NSA leaks
LONDON Britain has launched a criminal investigation
into Edward Snowdens leak of classied material to the
Guardian newspaper and is sifting through documents it
seized from the partner of one of the papers journalists, a
government lawyer said Thursday.
The revelation by lawyer Jonathan Laidlaw came at
Londons High Court, where lawyers for David Miranda
the partner of Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald
unsuccessfully sued to stop police from combing through
digital material seized from him Sunday at Heathrow
Airport.
It was the British governments rst mention of a crimi-
nal investigation linked to the seized material, which
included a laptop, cellphone, DVDs and memory sticks.
Greenwald has been at the center of the Guardians disclo-
sures about the National Security Agency, which have pulled
back the curtain on the American governments secret
domestic espionage program. Miranda, a 28-year-old
Brazilian student, was detained for nearly nine hours as he
ew through the London airport after meeting in Germany
with a journalist working with Greenwald.
Laidlaw said British police had already begun scanning
through Mirandas tens of thousands of pages of documents,
which he described as highly sensitive.
Egypts ousted leader Mubarak under house arrest
CAIRO Wearing a white T-shirt and ashing a smile,
Hosni Mubarak was transferred from prison Thursday to a
Nile-side military hospital where he will be under house
arrest, a reversal of fortune for the former president who was
ousted by a popular uprising and is on trial for complicity in
the killing of protesters in 2011.
The release of the 85-year-old Mubarak comes amid a
sweeping crackdown against the Muslim Brotherhood,
which rose to power after the revolution only to see their
Islamist president toppled by a military coup last month.
The latest twist of Mubaraks fate mirrored the countrys
rocky transition, with the longtime autocrat released from
prison even as his democratically elected successor
remained jailed at an undisclosed location. The release
threatened to stoke tensions in the deeply divided country,
reeling from violence and the unsettled politics that fol-
lowed the military coup against Mohammed Morsi.

OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
The Khaleej Times, Dubai
T
here seems to be some understand-
ing between the United Nations
and Damascus over the issue of
inspections.
After delaying tactics, both the parties
concerned have agreed to go ahead to
probe into the allegations that Syria used
chemical agents against its people. The
UN team, which had been stranded in
Cyprus for the last several months, is
now on its way to Damascus. This is a
promising development. Irrespective of
its outcome, the inspections will at least
kick-start a dialogue process between the
powers-that-be, and then gradually lead to
broadening of understanding over issues
of peace and security.
Under an agreement reached with
Damascus, the UN team will visit three
sites and see for itself whether toxic
agents were used or not. The mission that
had disagreement over the scope of the
investigation has now got the green sig-
nal, and is limited to reporting whether
chemical weapons were actually used and
which ones, but it will not determine
responsibility for any attacks. Though
half-hearted, it could be the way to go
ahead. The 10-member investigating team
under Swedish arms expert Ake Sellstroem
has a responsibility to deliver and that
shouldnt be restricted to just probing
into a past event. The thrust of the mis-
sion should be to reach the real victims
and expose the principal characters
behind the usage of chemical agents, if
any. This in no way in contravention to
the agreed terms and conditions, but
would be an apt way out to suggest meas-
ures to read the crises in its totality.
Syrians have already witnessed 100,000
casualties since the uprising begun, and
President Bashar Al Assad now sits on the
mounds of the dead and destructed proper-
t y. The war-torn country is far from being
governed and it is no more than battle-
fields for rebels and pro-Assad forces.
Damascus claim that it has nothing to
hide is up for a litmus test.
More respect from corporations

Editor,
Recently I was changing the spark plug
wires on my classic Chevy and as I was
trying to remove one of the straight-
booted wires to re-route it, the metal clip
separated from the wire. I used the bum
wire to go back to the auto parts store to
buy another set of wires so I could replace
the broken one. I only have one vehicle.
I used Google to get the address of the
manufacturers corporate office address in
Long Island City, N.Y. I sent them the bad
wire with a cover letter and one week later
I received a whole new set of wires in the
mail.
We get more respect from corporations
than we get from the federal government.
All I get from Anna Eshoo, Dianne
Feinstein and Barbara Boxer are canned

What about Malcolm?
Editor,
As we approach the 50th anniversary of
Martin Luther Kings march on
Washington where he made his famous I
have a dream speech, why not honor a
man like Malcolm X. Malcolm X has been
totally left out of Americas fight for civil
rights. Malcolm X truly changed every-
thing in his life, to become a man of per-
fect peace. Malcolm X educated himself in
prison, and became a great speaker and
scholar. Malcolm X travelled to the
Middle East and saw true Islam living in
peace with men of all races. This made
Malcolm X give up his hateful past. He
split from the Nation of Islam that he
once belonged to. Doing this was a huge
risk and show of bravery on his part. For
this he was shot to death by his own for-
mer friends. Doesnt this man of self
transformation, scholarship and true
racial harmony deserve recognition?

A
mericans, whatever their posi-
tion on the decision to invade
Iraq 10 years ago, had hoped that
when the controversial war was over that
peace would prevail, but judging by recent
events something akin to a civil war is
tearing the country apart.
Sectarian warfare cost an estimated
1,000 Iraqis their lives last month alone,
making July one of the worst months in
years. So far in 2013, more than 4,000
Iraqis have been killed by acts of vio-
lence. Almost every day there are reports
of multiple bombings taking multiple
lives, and it is always Muslim against
Muslim, Shia against Sunni.
This is not the outcome the United
States had in mind when it invaded Iraq,
captured the despised Saddam Hussein,
saw him executed, and drew up the plans
for an Iraqi democracy. Washington didnt
take into account or perhaps didnt
give enough credence to the deep,
long-standing religious differences
among Iraqs Muslim population.
All over Iraq, as people celebrated Eid
al-Fitr (the holiday that annually marks
the end of the holy month of Ramadan)
bombs took more than 60 lives, officials
said. Washington immediately condemned
the bombings, describing the attackers as
enemies of Islam.
They may be, but these attacks repre-
sent a continuation of a bloody pattern
that has developed over many months.
The United Nations reports that 1,057
Iraqis were killed and 2,326 more were
wounded in attacks in July. Those are the
highest monthly casualty figures since
2008.
There is almost no hope for an early
declaration of victory in the global war
on terror, and the plight of the Iraqi peo-
ple is grim evidence that even an infusion
of a Western-style democracy offers no
promise of security. It turns out that, quite
often, religious affiliations are more
important than political theories.

Get a warrant to
search cellphones
Orange County Register
B
rima Wurie was sentenced in
2011 to 262 months in federal
prison for his conviction on
drug and firearm offenses. We have no
quarrel with the Massachusetts mans
sentence, as he had a long history of vio-
lent crime. What troubles us is the means
by which police obtained damning evi-
dence against him.
After arresting Wurie, on suspicion he
was selling crack cocaine out of his car,
police seized his cellphone and perused
his phone log. That enabled law enforce-
ment to find the place where he resided,
and where he stashed additional drugs.
All of that would have been acceptable,
from our civil-libertarian perspective,
had police first secured a warrant before
inspecting the suspects cellphone.
They didnt, and we believe the result-
ing warrantless search violated the
Fourth Amendments protection of the
right of the people to be secure in their
persons, houses, papers and, in this
particular case, effects against unrea-
sonable, unwarranted searches and
seizures.
Indeed, that was the split decision in
May of a three-judge panel of the 1st
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which
vacated two of the three counts on which
Wurie was convicted and remanded the
third count for resentencing.
If the Supreme Court decides to hear the
case, the justices will have to weigh the
1st Circuits 2-to-1 ruling in U.S. v.
Brima Wurie against conflicting rulings
by several other federal appellate courts
in cases concerning similar Fourth
Amendment issues.
The Obama administration last week
asked the high court to set aside the 1st
Circuit decision and to rule that the
Fourth Amendment, in fact, allows war-
rantless cellphone searches.
In the petition, U.S. Solicitor General
Donald Verrilli maintained, It is settled
law that a custodial arrest based on prob-
able cause justifies a full search of an
arrestee and any items found on him.
Therefore, he argued, no exception
should be made for cellphones.
But a cellphone no longer is just a
phone. Most are computers that can store
vast amounts of personal information
voice mails, text messages, emails, call
logs, images, browser history some of
which may be germaine to a criminal
investigation, and some of which
absolutely may not.
Even the dissenting judge in the 1st
Circuits decision acknowledged con-
cerns about the privacy interests at stake
in cellphone searches. Thats why his
two colleagues on the panel crafted what
they described as a bright-line rule that
the warrantless search of data on a cell-
phone seized from an arrestees person
is unauthorized under any circumstance.
Yes, we understand there are occasions
when cellphone information is essential
in investigating crimes. And we have no
particular empathy for longtime violent
offenders like Wurie.
But if police are able to trample upon
the Fourth Amendment rights of arrestees
like Mr. Wurie, they can just as easily
trample upon the same rights of arrestees
far-less nefarious including those
never formally charged with a crime.
Thats why we strongly support the
appellate court ruling in U.S. v. Brima
Wurie and hope the Supreme Court does
as well.

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
NEW YORK The stock market
rose Thursday, but it was a glitch on
the Nasdaq exchange that became the
days big talking point.
Trading on the Nasdaq was interrupt-
ed just after midday because of prob-
lems with a quote dissemination sys-
tem. That halted activity on the Nasdaq
until shortly before the close of the
market. When trading resumed, shares
in Nasdaq OMX, which owns and oper-
ates the exchange, slumped.
The Nasdaq composite was up 31
points, or 0.9 percent, at 3,631 when
trading halted, according to FactSet
data. It ended the day up 38 points, or
1.1 percent, at 3,638.71.
Earlier on Thursday, encouraging
economic gures from Asia and Europe
helped stocks advance and break a six-
day losing streak for the Dow Jones
industrial average.
In China, a survey by HSBC indicat-
ed that manufacturing was expanding,
the latest evidence that the worlds sec-
ond-largest economy may be over its
recent period of weakness. In Europe, a
survey of manufacturing and services
for the 17 countries that use the euro
climbed to its highest level since June
2011.
Europe seems to be getting its
swing back, especially Germany, said
Doug Cote, chief market strategist at
ING U.S. Investment Management.
The gures are not super exciting, but
directionally they are good.
The stock market has had a poor
August. Traders and investors have
fretted that the Federal Reserve is
about to start easing back on the eco-
nomic stimulus that has helped under-
pin a 4 1/2-year bull market. The Fed
is buying $85 billion of bonds a
month to hold down long-term interest
rates.
The Dow climbed 66 points, or 0.4
percent, to close at 14,963.74. The
index is still down 3.5 percent for the
month.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
rose 14 points, or 0.9 percent, to
1,656.96, its best day since Aug. 1.
Investors also got some encourag-
ing news on the U.S. economy
Thursday.
A gauge of the economys health
rose in July, pointing to stronger
growth in the second half of the year.
The Conference Boards index of lead-
ing indicators increased 0.6 percent
last month to a reading of 96. The
index was unchanged in June and rose
0.2 percent in May.
The number of Americans applying
for unemployment benets rose last
week but remains close to its lowest
level in 5 1/2 years.
Applications for rst-time benet s
rose 13,000 to 336,000 in the week
ending Aug. 17, the Labor Department
said. Thats up from 323,000 in the
previous week, which was the lowest
since Jan. 2008.
The economy in general is showing
signs of modest improvement, said
Terry Sandven, chief equity strategist,
at U.S. Bank wealth management.
Valuation is fair, sentiment is favor-
able and ination is benign and thats
a favorable backdrop for equities.
The market rose despite some poor
results from a pair of retailing compa-
nies.
Sears dropped $3.55, or 8.2 percent,
to $39.72 after the company said its
second-quarter loss widened as the
number of stores in operation declined
and the company dealt with lingering
effects from its spinoff of the
Hometown and Outlet brand.
Abercrombie & Fitch fell $8.27, or
18 percent, to $38.53 after the compa-
ny said that declining trafc and weak-
ness in girls clothing pushed its net
income down 33 percent in the second
quarter.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury
note rose to 2.90 percent from 2.89
percent Wednesday. The yield is the
highest its been since July 2011, and
is up sharply since going as low as
1.63 percent in early May.
Rising bond yields have unsettled
stock investors because they have a
direct impact on the cost of borrowing
for everyone, from home owners try-
ing to renance their mortgages to
companies trying to sell debt, making
them a potential long-term drag on the
economy.

Yahoo passed Google in U.S. Web visitors in July
NEW YORK For the rst time in more than two
years, more Americans visited Yahoos websites than
Googles, according to comScore Inc.s Internet trafc
data for July.
The research rm said Wednesday that Yahoo Inc.s
websites saw 196.6 million unique U.S. visitors last
month, while Googles sites had 192.3 million. The
last time Yahoo was ahead of Google was in May 2011,
according to comScore.
That said, Yahoo is still far behind Google in making
money from the people who visit its websites. After
stripping out advertising commissions, Yahoos rev-
enue came to $1.07 billion in the April-June quarter.
Googles, meanwhile, was $11.1 billion by the same
measure.
Research rm eMarketer estimates that Google will
generate $38.83 billion in worldwide digital advertis-
ing revenue this year, more than any other company.
Facebook Inc. is at No. 2 with an estimated $5.89 bil-
lion, while Yahoo is No. 3 with $3.63 billion expected.
EMarketers gures include mobile ads, which comScore
does not count in its Web visitor gures.
Wells Fargo to lay off 2,300 mortgage workers
NEWYORK Wells Fargo is laying off workers from
its mortgage unit, the latest sign that the mortgage re-
nancing boom has cooled.
The San Francisco-based bank said it sent 60-day
notices to about 2,300 mortgage employees on
Wednesday. The layoffs will be at locations across the
country, the bank said in a statement, and a spokesman
declined to give details.
The bank said it had to lay off workers because mort-
gage renancing demand had dropped compared to 2012
and early 2013. Wells Fargo is the biggest mortgage
lender in the U.S., and its results have been greased in
recent quarters by waves of homeowners renancing
their loans to take advantage of low interest rates.

JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. Bette
Midler wouldnt normally be expected
to trumpet her opinion on who should
be the next chairman of the Federal
Reserve.
This time is different.
A battle over whats arguably the
worlds most powerful economic post
has turned into an unusually public
struggle over two renowned econo-
mists Fed Vice Chair Janet Yellen
and former Treasury Secretary Larry
Summers.
Chairman Ben Bernanke is expected
to step down when his second term
ends in January, and the contest to suc-
ceed him is sure to spark chatter at this
weeks annual meeting of central
bankers in Jackson Hole, Wyo. While
the principals have kept mum, their
warring camps have waged a battle
thats riled Congress, spawned opin-
ion columns and sparked commentary
from notables like the Divine Miss M.
Midler recalled that before the 2008
financial crisis, Summers resisted
efforts to regulate the kinds of risky
investments that helped ignite the cri-
sis.
Sample Midler tweet: HUH. The
architect of bank deregulation, which
turned straight-laced banks into casi-
nos and bankers into pimps, may be
next Head Fed: Summers.
Thats just the public campaign.
Theres also been a whisper cam-
paign suggesting that Yellen might
lack the gravitas to be chairman a
job requiring enormous skills of per-
suasion as well as credibility with fel-
low Fed ofcials and global leaders.
Yellens supporters regard such asser-
tions as a sexist attack on someone
whod be the rst woman to lead the
Fed.
The Economist magazine described a
rancorous battle of name calling and
innuendo.
Participants at the Jackson Hole
gathering, held in the picturesque
shadows of the Grand Teton
Mountains, will meet in a conference
room to mull topics like The Natural
Rate of Interest, Financial Crises and
the Zero Lower Bound.
The hallways and grounds of the
lodge are where conversation will like-
ly take up the juicier succession battle
something the Fed, which will turn
100 in December, has never before wit-
nessed. The selection of a chairman
has long been a matter handled pri-
vately by a president and his most sen-
ior advisers.
Most presidents strive for a
smooth, quiet transition that doesnt
put markets on edge, said David
Jones, an economist and author of
several books on the Fed. Now, we
have this knock-down, dragged-out
fight, and nobody knows what will
happen.

NEW YORK Gap Inc. raised its
earnings per share outlook for the year
on Thursday, after its summer lineup
helped boost second-quarter results and
advanced its turnaround push.
The higher guidance was short of
Wall Street expectations, but the com-
pany also hiked its annual dividend by
20 cents, or 33 percent, to 80 cents per
share. Its shares rose 1 percent to
$42.43 in aftermarket trading. Over
the past year, the stock was up 21 per-
cent.
Gap Inc., which is based in San
Francisco, owns Banana Republic,
Old Navy, Piperlime, Athleta and
Intermix stores, in addition to its
namesake chain. The company is the
nations largest mall-based clothing
chain operator, and its results pro-
vide insight into consumer spend-
i ng.
Since early last year, Gap has been
invigorating sales with more brightly-
colored clothing, designer collabora-
tions and livelier stores. Last October,
the company also announced a man-
agement overhaul to help it respond
more quickly to shifting tastes around
the world.

ORLANDO, Fla. Wal-Mart Stores
Inc. spearheaded an effort Thursday to
bring together retailers, suppliers and
government ofcials so they can gure
out how to bring more manufacturing
jobs to the United States.
The worlds largest retailer hosted its
first two-day U.S. Manufacturing
Summit in Orlando, hoping to capital-
ize on the companys recent commit-
ment to drive more manufacturing in
the U.S. The made in the USA cam-
paign could boost Wal-Marts image,
which is constantly under attack by
labor-backed groups who have criti-
cized the retail behemoth as a destroy-
er of U.S. jobs rather than a creator.
The goal of the summit was to start
connecting the dots with a dialogue
among the 500 manufacturers, ofcials
from three dozen states, eight gover-
nors and U.S. Commerce Secretary
Penny Pritzker at the conference, said
Bill Simon, president and CEO of the
companys U.S. division.
It could be difcult for one at a time,
all of us on our own, Simon said. The
best way to overcome the challenges
is to talk to one another.

SANTACLARA The San Francisco 49ers
have added another quarterback to the compe-
tition to be Colin Kaepernicks backup, sign-
ing nine-year veteran Seneca Wallace to a one-
year contract Thursday.
While Colt McCoy had appeared to be the
favorite to win the No. 2 job coming into
training camp, neither he nor Scott Tolzien
have separated themselves. Even rookie B.J.
Daniels has been deemed a contender, though
clearly Wallace now will get a chance with lit-
tle time to prepare before the Sept. 8 season
opener against Green Bay.
49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman
said this week that Sundays game against
Minnesota would be important for all of the
quarterbacks.
I think its going to be a big game for
them, big game for all of us, Roman said.
But, I think they just need to improve really
down-in, down-out consistency. The right
reads, obviously making the right throws.
Theyve done some really good stuff up til
now, stuff thats under-the-radar type things.
Again, theyve had some plays that theyd
love to do over again. So, its a matter of com-
ing out this week and having a really strong
performance.
Wallace, who was competing with Luke
McCown to back up Drew Brees in New
Orleans, had his contract terminated by the
Saints on Monday.
Coach Jim Harbaugh said Wednesday that
McCoy likely would play second after
Kaepernicks stint is done in Sunday nights
exhibition against Minnesota at Candlestick
Park. McCoy, Tolzien and Daniels each have
been getting regular repetitions in practice
with the No. 2 offense, Harbaugh said.
He isnt against giving a rookie the backup
quarterback job, which Kaepernick had behind
Alex Smith after being drafted in the second
round from Nevada in 2011.
Yes, its OK. How that plays out, we will
see, Harbaugh said. Its OK for a veteran to
be the backup.

MIAMI Former All-Star closer
Brian Wilson acknowledged feel-
ing butteries in the bullpen as he
warmed up Thursday, which was
understandable since he hadnt
pitched in 16 months.
Once on the mound, he took a
deep breath and was ready to go.
I only have a brief moment out
there, and I can either crumble or
rise to the occasion, he said. I
can tell you crumbling isnt some-
thing Id like to do.
Instead, Wilson took the biggest
step yet in his comeback from
Tommy John surgery, pitching a
scoreless ninth inning to seal the
Los Angeles Dodgers 6-0 victory
over the Miami Marlins.
Wilson gave up a two-out double,
struck out two and looked a lot like
the pitcher who saved 171 games
for the Dodgers rivals, the San
Francisco Giants.
It felt normal, the bearded
right-hander said. It was long
overdue, a very arduous process, but
Im glad I went through it so I could
appreciate baseball even more. I
felt comfortable. I felt like I hadnt
skipped a beat.
Wilson threw 19 pitches, 11 for
strikes, and reached 94 mph on the
scoreboard radar gun.
Pretty impressive, Dodgers
manager Don Mattingly said. He
comes out throwing strikes. His
stuff seemed sharp. It was good.

OAKLAND D.J. Hayden nally
gets the chance to answer the critics
who thought the Oakland Raiders
made a risky bet when they drafted
him 12th overall in April.
Hayden will make his exhibition
debut for Oakland on Friday night
against the Chicago Bears in his
rst game action of any kind since a
near-fatal practice collision ended
his college career last November
and raised questions about his future
in the NFL.
Hayden has been limited most of
training camp after undergoing
abdominal surgery in May to heal
scarring from the original injury. He
was not cleared for any contact until
last Friday and has had just one
padded practice before taking the
eld against the Bears.
Im looking forward to my rst
NFL game. Cant wait to get out
there and play, Hayden said. I
want to go ahead and shake the rust
off. Get wet a little bit. Cant wait.
Hayden last played a game Nov. 3
for Houston
against East
Carolina. He was
injured days later
when he collided
with a teammate
at practice.
He was rushed
into surgery for
a tear of the infe-
rior vena cava,
the large vein that carries blood
from the lower half of the body to
the heart. The injury is 95 percent
fatal in the eld, according to doc-
tors, and is most commonly associ-
ated with high-speed motor vehicle
accidents.
Hayden worked his way back to
health and was cleared by doctors
before the draft. The Raiders select-
ed him 12th overall even though
some teams believed he was too
much of a risk.
The Raiders have been pleased
with the pick and now get to see
how Hayden performs when he
starts against the Bears.
I just want to see him play foot-
ball, coach Dennis Allen said. Its
been a while since hes really had an
opportunity to go out and play real
football. Im looking forward to
watching him. Hes done some real-
ly good things in this camp. Hes
got exceptional coverage skills. I
think everyone is anxious to see
when he has his rst real live con-
tact.
Hayden will wear an extra ap
over his chest for added protection
despite his complaints that it makes
him look like he has a beer belly.
He was allowed to take part in
warmups and wear his uniform last
Friday night in New Orleans but
couldnt play even though he felt
ready.
They teased me a little bit, he
said. Its like putting some cookies
in front of a kid and tell him, you
cant eat them, but look at them.
But Im all right.
Hayden isnt the only Raiders
defender making his rst exhibition
appearance of the summer.

SAN FRANCISCO Garrett Jones and
Jordy Mercer homered, Jose Tabata hit a
three-run double, and the NLCentral-leading
Pittsburgh Pirates beat the San Francisco
Giants 10-5 on Thursday night.
Pedro Alvarez hit a go-ahead, two-run dou-
ble to start a seven-run fth and matched his
career high for RBIs in a season with 85.
Russell Martin and Gaby Sanchez added sac-
rice ies and Tabata had a three-run double
in his second plate appearance of the
inning.
Marco Scutaro had a tying two-run single
in the fourth for San Francisco after scoring
in the third on Buster Poseys sacrice y.
Giants right-hander Matt Cain departed
after getting hit on his pitching arm on a
line drive by Sanchez. X-rays on Cains
bruised forearm were negative.
Jones 12th homer leading off the second
was a splash-hit drive into McCovey Cove
beyond the right-eld wall. It was the 28th
at AT&T Park by an opponent and second by
a Pirates player. Adam LaRoche hit one on
Aug. 11, 2007, against Tim Lincecum.
Cain was hit when Sanchez led off the
fourth with a groundout. Trainer Dave
Groeschner and manager Bruce Bochy hus-
tled out to check on the pitcher, who walked
off the mound on his own moments later.
He allowed three runs and seven hits in 3
1-3 innings. Guillermo Moscoso (1-2)
relieved with the Giants trailing 3-1.
Cain, who had been on a nice roll since
the All-Star break, threw 64 pitches, 40 for
strikes.
Tabata added a pair of singles for his third
three-hit game in August.
Jeanmar Gomez (3-0) pitched three score-
less innings of relief following Jeff Locke
for the win.
On a day the Giants lost outelder Andres
Torres perhaps for the season to a strained
left Achilles tendon, the defending World
Series champs were dealt another blow with
the early exit for Cain. San Francisco was
outscored 21-4 in a losing three-game series
against the Red Sox including 12-1 in
Wednesdays nale.
It wasnt much better in the opener of a
four-game series with the Pirates. Brandon
Crawford added a two-run double in the
eighth for San Francisco.
Third baseman Pablo Sandoval returned to
the Giants lineup after missing two games
with a sore back. He grounded into a double
play in the second and wound up 1 for 3 with
a walk.
NOTES: ... Giants manager Bruce Bochy
said struggling LHP Barry Zito (4-9, 5.63
ERA) is scheduled to make his next start.
Were keeping the guys in the rotation
where theyre at, Bochy said.

Amonth after acknowledging he made mis-
takes, Ryan Braun admitted taking perform-
ance-enhancing drugs during his NL MVP sea-
son of 2011.
The suspended Milwaukee slugger said in a
statement released Thursday by the Brewers that
he took a cream and a lozenge containing
banned substances while rehabilitating an
injury.
It was a huge mistake for which I am deeply
ashamed and I compounded the situation by not
admitting my mistakes immediately, Braun
said.
Braun tested positive for elevated testos-
terone in October 2011, but his 50-game sus-
pension was overturned when an arbitrator ruled
that the urine sample was mishandled.
Braun apologized to the collector of the urine
sample, his teammates and
Commissioner Bud Selig.
I have no one to blame
but myself. I know that
over the last year and a half
I made some serious mis-
takes, both in the informa-
tion I failed to share during
my arbitration hearing and
the comments I made to the
press afterwards, Braun
said. I have disappointed the people closest to
me the ones who fought for me because they
truly believed me all along. I kept the truth from
everyone. For a long time, I was in denial and
convinced myself that I had not done anything
wrong.
Last month he accepted a 65-game suspen-
sion resulting from Major League Baseballs
investigation of the Biogenesis of America
anti-aging clinic.

NEW YORK Saying the NFL Players
Association is holding HGH testing
hostage after more than two years of squab-
bling with the league, the top Democrat on
the House Oversight and Government
Reform Committee warned Thursday that
Congress could get involved.
In a statement emailed by his ofce to the
Associated Press, Rep. Elijah Cummings of
Maryland said the union continues to disre-
gard its promise to implement HGH testing.
He added: Continuing to block HGH test-
ing in this way essentially will force
Congress to intervene, which nobody
wants.
The oversight committee held a hearing in
December to take a look at the science
behind blood tests for human growth hor-
mone. HGH is a banned performance-
enhancing drug that is hard to detect and has
been linked to health
problems such as dia-
betes, cardiac dysfunction
and arthritis.
Two full NFL seasons
have passed and anoth-
er is about to begin
without a nal agreement
on HGH since the August
2011 labor deal paved the
way for testing.
In his statement,
Cummings pointed to extraordinary con-
cessions from the NFL, numerous meetings
with Members of Congress, and a parade of
experts verifying the validity of HGH test-
ing and said: After two years of negotia-
tions, the NFLPAis now holding HGH test-
ing hostage because of matters wholly unre-
lated to testing.
The league says the main sticking point
right now is whether Commissioner Roger
Goodell or someone he designates will
continue to hear appeals for violations other
than a positive test. The NFL wants to keep
that part of the drug policy in place, while
the union would prefer a panel of arbitrators
to hear appeals that involve breaking a law
or the demonstrated use of a performance-
enhancer without a positive test.
Hours before Cummings weighed in, the
man who oversees the NFLs drug program
said the union has buyers remorse about
HGH testing. A union ofcial retorted that
the only thing the league cares about is
power.
The latest public back-and-forth featur-
ing Adolpho Birch, the NFLsenior vice pres-
ident of labor policy and government affairs,
and George Atallah, the NFLPA assistant
executive director of external affairs
comes exactly two weeks before the rst
game of the 2013 regular season.
There is a chance it wont happen this
season, the NFLs Birch told the AP. I will
also say there is a chance it will. I strongly
hope that it does. I would have said the same
thing last year. I would have said the same
thing in October 2011.
Noting that the union wants to change the
appeals process for certain types of cases,
Birch said: If their interest is in advancing
the interests of players who play clean, and
reassuring the public we have competitive
integrity, and restoring public condence ...
we can get this done. If their interest is wor-
rying about people who have broken the law,
and how to protect them, then weve got
more of a problem.
Birch mentioned concessions he said the
NFLhas made during negotiations, including
dropping its desire to increase suspensions
for a second offense from eight games to 10
games.
The unions Atallah said players have been
asked to vote twice on whether to allow
Goodell to keep his appeal authority for
violations of law, and two times the players
have said, No.

Mexico rallies past Panama, moves

Thursday night to earn a berth in the international champi-
onship game at the Little League World Series.
Jorge Rodriguez reached on a bunt single before Romero
connected against Edgardo Rosales, sending a drive over
the wall in center.
The rain-delayed victory set up a rematch between Mexico
and Tokyo, Japan on Saturday. The second game on
Thursdays slate between Westport, Conn., and
Sammamish, Wash., for a berth in the U.S. nal against
Chula Vista, Calif., was moved to Friday.
Mexico went ahead 2-1 in the fth. Brandon Montes led
off with a long home run to left-center, and Alex Artalejo
added an RBI single.

also play. That means the Raiders will be
close to full strength on defense, with the
exception of defensive tackle Pat Sims and
cornerback Tracy Porter.
The Raiders defense should get a good test
against Jay Cutler and the rst-team offense
for the Chicago Bears. Hayden will match up
at times with one of the NFLs most prolic
receivers in Brandon Marshall, who had 119
catches last season.
Marshall was targeted on more than 40 per-
cent of Chicagos throws a year ago and the
Bears are looking to prove they have more
options on offense than Marshall and running
back Matt Forte this year with second-year
receiver Alshon Jeffery and free agent tight
end Martellus Bennett.
Cutler threw all ve of his passes toward
Marshall last week against San Diego, com-
pleting four of them.
Were going to spread it around, Cutler
said. We cant just throw to Brandon and give
the ball to Matt. Weve got to gure out ways
to get other guys involved. We had plays up,
some of them worked, some of them got
checked out of. So, it is just the way it goes.
Bennett, who had 55 catches last year with
the Giants, said two abbreviated preseason
games for the rst-team offense is too small a
sample size to draw any conclusions from.
I just think its the way the cookie crum-
bles sometimes, Bennett said. I mean, we
havent played a full game yet. Thered be
some quarters where Brandon might catch
eight balls in the rst half, and then the sec-
ond half they might double him, I might catch
eight or Alshon might catch eight. We havent
played a full game of football yet.

VERONA, N.Y. When Mike Tyson
returns to boxing on Friday night, hell be
on the outside of the ring looking in.
More than two decades after a social work-
er introduced him to trainer Cus DAmato,
Tyson will return to his roots in this sport,
but this time as a promoter. The former
heavyweight champion has a new enter-
prise, Iron Mike Productions, and he will
present his rst ght card at Turning Stone
Resort.
The main event features an IBF super ban-
tamweight title fight between champion
Argenis Mendez and challenger Arash
Usmanee.
Tyson says hes ecstatic to be back in the
sport. He says his ghters wont be subject-
ed to what he went through in his heyday.
When I rst got involved, I just didnt
know, Tyson said. Never in a thousand
years did I plan on doing it. Im just happy
to be back involved in boxing. Its a dream
come true. Im a little nervous.
The man who once sued promoter Don
King for $100 million for taking his money
also has reinvented himself as an entertain-
er. Last month, Tyson announced hes going
back to pay television, where his ghts
were some of the biggest
moneymakers in boxing
history. Hes teaming
with director Spike Lee to
bring Tysons one-man
stage show to HBO later
this year. The program
was lmed on Broadway,
where Mike Tyson:
Undisputed Truth ran
last summer.
Tysons wife, Kiki, wrote the script for
the stage show, which toured the country
earlier this year. Tyson said it reects his
lifes journey from Brooklyn street tough
guy to happily married father, and credits
his wife for his foray into promoting.
Not bad for a man who only ve years ago
was a desperate drug addict contemplating
suicide. His depression reached a low on
May 26, 2009, when his 4-year-old daugh-
ter, Exodus, was tragically killed when she
was strangled by a cord while playing on a
treadmill.
It hit Tyson hard, but the death and his
marriage to Kiki soon after helped rescue
him from the abyss.
I didnt think Id be here much longer,
Tyson said. I was planning on killing
myself. I was overdosing every night. I
couldnt believe it that I was waking up.
Living life is different for me.
I had to change my life. Its been hell,
but Im happy to be alive.
And ecstatic to be back in the sport, where
he earned and lost over $300 million.
Tyson, 47, who was elected to the
International Boxing Hall of Fame in near-
by Canastota, N.Y., two years ago, hopes to
provide his ghters with a structured envi-
ronment for success in and out of the
ring.
Youre never going to hear them say
Mike Tyson stole from me. Hopefully,
theyll never end up like me, he said. Im
not a magician. The only thing I can do is
suggest go in the right direction. We
have to look for happiness within. I cant
stop somebody from hurting themself.
Still, he knows it wont be the same.
I cant be like Cus. These guys (today)
would lose their minds with the discipline,
Tyson said. Forty percent of ghters
they cant even make their own weight.
Fighters need to be self-motivated. They
should be the rst one in the gym and the
last one out. Im never going to be wealthy
again, but I can still give back. Boxing
gave me so much. This should be fun.
This should really be fun.

NEWYORK Defending champion Andy
Murray could face top-seeded Novak
Djokovic only in the seminals at the U.S.
Open, while Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer
who have never played each other at
Flushing Meadows might meet in the
quarternals.
Murray earned his rst Grand Slam cham-
pionship by beating Djokovic in the 2012
U.S. Open nal, then added a second by
beating the No. 1-ranked Serb in the
Wimbledon title match
last month. But there
cant be a rematch in New
York in the nal, thanks
to Thursdays draw.
Coming to the U.S.
Open last year, Id never
won a Grand Slam. I did-
nt know if I was ever
going to win one,
Murray said at the draw
ceremony. A lot of people would say ...
like, Hes good enough to win a Grand
Slam. Hes going to win one. But the more
nals you lose in, the more you start to
doubt yourself and think, Is it ever going
to happen? Getting that weight off my
shoulders last year was huge.
Play at the years last Grand Slam tourna-
ment begins Monday.
In addition to No. 2 Nadal against No. 7
Federer, a 17-time major champion who has
his lowest seeding at the U.S. Open since he
was 13th in 2002, the other possible mens
quarternals are 2011 champion Djokovic
vs. 2009 champion Juan Martin del Potro,
No. 3 Murray vs. No. 5 Tomas Berdych, and
No. 4 David Ferrer vs. No. 8 Richard
Gasquet.
Federer, who owns ve U.S. Open titles,
and Nadal also were set up for a possible
quarternal at Wimbledon this year, but that
never materialized: Nadal lost in the rst
round, and Federer in the second.
The potential womens quarternals at the
U.S. Open are No. 1 Serena Williams
against No. 8 Angelique Kerber, No. 2
Victoria Azarenka against No. 7 Petra
Kvitova, No. 3 Agnieszka Radwanska
against No. 5 Li Na, and No. 4 Sara Errani
against No. 6 Caroline Wozniacki.
The woman who originally was seeded
third in the tournament, 2006 champion
Maria Sharapova, withdrew Wednesday
because of a right shoulder injury.
Murray could face Djokovic in U.S. Open semis

Ex-Patriot Hernandez
indicted on murder charge
ATTLEBORO, Mass. Former New
England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez
was indicted Thursday on rst-degree murder
and weapons charges in the death of a friend
whose bullet-riddled body
was found in an industrial
park about a mile from
the ex-players home.
The six-count grand
jury indictment charges
Hernandez with killing
27-year-old Odin Lloyd, a
semi-professional foot-
ball player from Boston
who was dating the sister
of Hernandezs girl-
friend.
Hernandez, 23, pleaded not guilty to mur-
der and weapons charges in June, and he is
being held without bail.
He had a brief court appearance in
Attleboro on Thursday afternoon. Afterward,
his attorney Michael Fee said the defense
was pleased to be on a path to a jury trial and
was looking forward to testing the prosecu-
tions evidence.
There has been an incredible rush to judg-
ment in this case, and the state doesnt
have enough evidence to prove the charges,
he said.

He underwent reconstructive
elbow surgery later that month,
and the Dodgers signed him after
he was non-tendered by San
Francisco last winter.
When Wilson struck out Justin
Ruggiano to complete the
Dodgers 17th shutout this year,
he celebrated with his familiar
crossed-arm, nger-pointing ges-
ture.
I was very impressed with his
stuff and the way he threw the ball
and his confidence, Dodgers
catcher A.J. Ellis said. Hes
going to help us out. The guy has
gotten last outs in World Series
games, so hes somebody we can
count on who wont get rattled in
tough situations, which is another
great piece to have.
Wilson joins a deep bullpen that
has the second-best ERAin the NL
since the All-Star break. He said
his role will be to get outs, and
hes looking forward to pitching
in the important games to come
for the NL West leaders.
Theres going to be no lack of
fun, he said. This team is play-
ing well and is just a great group of
guys having a lot of good laughs.
When you feel comfortable in the
clubhouse, it only correlates to
success out on the eld, and thats
how everyones playing. Theres
energy coming from all sorts of
players here right now. Were on a
good run.

McCoy hasnt looked sharp or
comfortable this preseason, and it
appears he is still trying to nd his
way in Harbaughs expansive
offense. He has completed 6 of 13
passes for 76 yards, no touchdowns
and two interceptions while also
getting sacked once.
Denitely, its a factor,
Harbaugh said of transitioning to a
new team. I dont know if its a per-
centage that youre looking for. Is it
a percentage youre looking for or
how much? Its denitely a factor,
and the good improvement this
week, hes working at it very hard, it

too. Were coaching him up the best
we can and well keep striving for
improvement each day.

Splinter Cell saves
the world, sneakily
By Lou Kesten
What does America need to ght terrorists? Pervasive surveillance, missile-
ring drones, even torture everythings open to debate.
Tom Clancys Splinter Cell: Blacklist (Ubisoft, for the Xbox 360,
PlayStation 3, Wii U, PC, $59.99), like most contemporary war
games, has all of the above. But its most effective weapon is
one guy: Sam Fisher, the grizzled black-ops agent whos
been saving civilization since the series began in
2002.
This time, Sam is recruited into Fourth Echelon,
an elite team headquartered in an elaborate ying
fortress called the Paladin. The enemy is a terror-
ist group called the Engineers, who have promised
to unleash a series of attacks unless the U.S. with-
draws all its troops from foreign soil.
Sams missions generally involve either inltrat-
ing an Engineer stronghold abroad or preventing a
disaster in the U.S. The developers at Ubisoft
Toronto arent shy about poking at political sore
spots: The second mission is set in Benghazi, Libya,
and Sam later sneaks into, and then escapes from, the
U.S. detention camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Sams forte is his ability to stay in the shadows, sneak up
behind the bad guys and take them out silently, one at a time.
The environments in Blacklist are cleverly designed to
reward the stealthy approach, and its unusually satisfying to
make your way through a terrorist camp without ring a sin-
gle bullet. If youd prefer to attack the Engineers with guns
blazing well, that approach can work too, although Sam
is more vulnerable to enemy re than most video-game war-
riors.
The solo missions in Blacklist are beautifully paced,

SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
THE CYRUS CYLINDER
AND ANCIENT PERSIA: A
NEW BEGINNING, AT THE
ASIAN ART MUSEUM IN
SAN FRANCISCO. Modest in
size and appearance and made
more than 2,500 years ago, the
Cyrus Cylinder has been hailed as
an international symbol of toler-
ance and justice. In its first U.S.
tour on loan from the British
Museum, the Cylinder is current-
ly displayed at the Asian Art
Museum in San Francisco as part
of The Cyrus Cylinder and
Ancient Persia: A New
Beginning, an exhibition that
also includes 16 rare artworks
from ancient Persia (Iran), which
provide context for understand-
ing the Cylinders cultural and
historical significance.
Dating to 539 B.C., the Cyrus
Cylinder one of the most
famous surviving icons from the
ancient world was uncovered
in 1879 at Babylon (in modern
Iraq) during a British Museum
excavation. The Cylinder is 9
inches in length, barrel-shaped
and made of baked clay. The orig-
inal function of the Cylinder was
as a foundation depositan
object buried under an important
building to sanctify it. While the
Cylinder itself was never intend-
ed to be seen or used again, the
Cylinders text was probably a
proclamation that was widely
distributed.
The Cylinder is inscribed all
the way around with a proclama-
tion in the Babylonian language
using Babylonian cuneiform
script. It was buried beneath the
inner city wall of Babylon during
the rebuilding program undertak-
en by Cyrus the Great after he
captured the city in 539 B.C. It
chronicles how Cyrus, aided by
the god Marduk, gained victory
without a struggle; restored
shrines dedicated to various
gods; and allowed captive peo-
ples to return to their homelands.
The text does not mention specif-
ic religious groups, but it is
thought that the Jews were
among the people who had been
forcibly brought to Babylon by
Nebuchadnezzar II (the previous
ruler of Babylon) and then
allowed by Cyrus to return home.
The Bible chronicles that the
Jews returned from Babylon at
this time and rebuilt the temple
in Jerusalem. Indeed Cyrus is
revered in the Hebrew Bible
because of the qualities of toler-
ance and respect documented in
the Cylinders proclamation.
These were enlightened acts, rare
in antiquity.
The Cyrus Cylinder is an object
of world heritage, produced for a
Persian king in Iraq and seen and
studied for more than 130 years
in the British Museum. The val-
ues of freedom from captivity and
freedom of religious practice pro-
claimed by Cyrus the Great are
enduring ideas underlying ethical
governance that have made the
Cylinder a universal icon. Today,
a copy of the Cylinder is on dis-
play in the United Nations build-
ing in New York City. The
Cylinder appears on postage
stamps issued by the Islamic
Republic of Iran, and it was seen
firsthand by about half a million
people at the 2010-2011 exhibi-
tion in Tehran.
Jay Xu, director of the Asian
Art Museum, said, The San
Francisco Bay Area is home to
both the signing of the United
Nations Charter and the birth of
the Free Speech Movement,
major pillars supporting human
rights and civil liberties. The
Asian Art Museum is proud to
partner with the British Museum
and our U.S. museum partners to
bring the Cyrus Cylinder to San
Francisco. This important object
provides not only a foundation
for understanding the ancient
world, but also a touchstone for
continued efforts to strive for
common human freedoms.
NEW LIGHT ON THE
CYRUS CYLINDER. On
Sunday Sept. 8 at 2 p.m. David
Stronach, Professor Emeritus of
Near East Studies at UC Berkeley,
speaks about new discoveries
related to the Cyrus Cylinder.
Stronach, a leading expert on
Pasargadae, the capital city of
Cyrus, discusses the gardens and
monuments of Cyrus and talks
about the Oxus treasure.
FROM SAMARKAND TO
SAN FRANCISCO. On Sunday
Sept. 22 at 2 p.m. Dr. Jennifer
Rose, professor of religion at
Claremont Graduate University,

Zoroastrian religion, one of the
worlds oldest surviving belief
systems. From its origins in
Bronze Age Central Asia to its
evolution across three powerful
Iranian empires, and its expan-
sion to India, Europe and North
America, Zoroastrianism has had
a profound impact on surround-
ing cultures and religions.

idea of a relationship is a quick tryst in the
loo of a pub. This is a guy whos gonna save
us or at least, parts of suburban England
from an alien invasion? Lord help us.
Of course, if youre a fan of Peggs ear-
lier two films with Wright, the 2004
Shaun of the Dead and the 2007 Hot
Fuzz, youll know that such plot absurd-
ities are not only par for the course, but
crucial to the delightful sensibilities of
this genre-twisting oeuvre.
Wright has called this movie the last in a
trilogy, and what unites the three is that
each is a sendup though a loving one
of a genre: Shaun is a zombie lm, Hot
Fuzz a buddy cop movie, and The Worlds
End one of those bittersweet coming-home
lms that show how difcult it is to really,
well, go home. Because its never the same.
We begin with a ashback: On the last day
school in 1990, ve mates in the nonde-
script village of Newton Haven attempt the
Golden Mile, an epic, 12-pub crawl. But
they fall short and never make it to the nal
watering hole, called, fittingly, The
Worlds End.
Flash forward 20 years, and Gary (Pegg),
their onetime leader, has a plan: Rally the
boys just like the Five Musketeers, he
notes to conquer the Golden Mile once
and for all.
Its about closure, he declares. For some
reason, they all show up.
One of the lms delights is how Pegg and
Nick Frost, his masterfully funny co-star in
all three lms, have reversed personalities
since Hot Fuzz. Whereas Pegg was an
uptight, overachieving cop there and Frost
the bumbling sidekick, now its Pegg whos
the bumbler scruffy and unkempt, in a
long black coat and dark shades, hilariously
messed up. Frost, just as hilarious, is the
pudgy, very square lawyer in thick glasses
and a pressed trench coat who drinks only
water on a pub crawl.
The cast of the earlier lms is reunited
here, along with some surprises. Paddy
Considine, Martin Freeman and Eddie
Marsan round out the Musketeers. Theres
also Sam (a lovely Rosamund Pike) shes
the sister of one of the guys, the unconsum-
mated crush of another and a former castoff
of Garys. Gary would love to pick up where
they left off sex in the loo but Sam
isnt keen.
But something else happens in the loo. A
belligerent Gary gets into a ght with a
strong young man. He accidentally beheads
the guy. Wait hes a robot. Who bleeds
blue ink. And has a lot of angry friends.
And the apocalypse is on. You cant go
home, indeed. Not when its being taken
over by murderous aliens.
But you can have a laugh and Pegg,
Wright, Frost and company certainly give
us that. The trilogy may be over, but we
hope a new one is beginning. We need a lot
more of these guys.
The Worlds End, a Focus Features
release, is rated R by the Motion Picture
Association of America for pervasive lan-
guage including sexual references.
Running time: 109 minutes. Three stars out
of four.

the Search for Happiness, while Frost is
starring (and dancing) in the upcoming
comedy Cuban Fury.
Its fitting, then, that their final film
together (for now) is a toast 12 times
over. In The Worlds End, Pegg and Frost
play former friends among a group reunited
to take on The Golden Mile: a dozen pubs
in their old U.K. hometown, downing a pint
at each.
The real-life friends gathered at a Sunset
Strip hotel (over ice waters) to talk about
movies, friendship and beer.
AP: Is it bittersweet to complete
t hi s t ri l ogy?
Pegg: It feels like weve done something
we set out to do. ... We know well probably
work together again. Highly likely, in fact.
Fro s t: At the heart of what we do is that
were all best mates, so its not like thats
that, well never see each other. Were
friends rst and foremost.
Wri ght: I feel the sense of satisfaction
that we made good on a promise. We made a
promise to ourselves as much as we did the
fans of making three movies, so to actually
nish the movies and have a lm that were
really proud of three lms that were real-
ly proud of British films and pretty
uncompromised, is huge for us.
AP: What was real l y i n t he gl asses
during l mi ng?
Fro s t : It was like a sugared water: A
water colored with burnt sugar with
cream soda on top for the head. But the
shots were Sambuca.
Pegg: It had to be water because we had to
drink so much of it. It couldnt have been
anything else. It couldnt be apple juice or
tea. ... It tasted a little bit like weak-tasting
lemonade, I guess, and we put away pints of
the stuff.
AP: What is the beer that you name
i n the movi e?
Wri ght : Crowning Glory. ... We named
it in the script, and then we found this local
brewery that said (theyd) make a beer and
call it Crowning Glory. So they have actual-
ly released it. Its like an ale. The one thats
named in the movie ... is now real, which is
hilarious.
AP: How did the two of you (Pegg
and Frost) becomi ng fathers change
your drinking habits?
Pe g g : I dont drink at all now. I gave
it up completely.
Fro s t: I try not to drink. Because what if
I woke up and hed eaten a knife?
AP: What would Ant Man drink?
Wri ght : I think hes probably a light-
weight because hes so tiny, but then so am
I.
Pegg: He could probably still drink more
than you.
AP: Will you all work on Ant-
Man?
Wri ght : I like our collaborations togeth-
er to be ones that we write. Not that I
havent written Ant-Man, but its an adap-
tation. So I think when we reconvene it
should be for (a) completely original
screenplay.
Fro s t: So in ve years time, when we get
back together to do Rhino Man and the
Abs, people will enjoy it more.

The solo missions in Blacklist are
beautifully paced, building tension so
smoothly that I often found myself holding
my breath. There are also a dozen or so
cooperative missions, some stealthy, oth-
ers more trigger-happy. And Blacklist
marks the return of Spies vs. Mercs, a
multiplayer competition in which one team
tries to prevent the other from stealing
secrets.
Fans of stealth games will nd Blacklist
a welcome return to form after 2010s more
action-heavy Splinter Cell: Conviction.
Its one of those rare games that made me
want to replay missions just to see if I could
kill fewer terrorists. Three stars out of four.

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified (2K
Games, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3,
$59.99; for PC, $49.99) also boils down to
one guy stopping the apocalypse. Hes
William Carter, a government special agent
with a sketchy past and an alcohol problem,
but once aliens invade Earth hes chosen to
lead the defense.
The Bureau takes place in 1962, so
Carter doesnt have Sam Fishers state-of-
the-art weaponry. He does have some para-
normal gifts, though, like the ability to lev-
itate enemies, and he can grab the aliens
nifty new laser weapons.
He can also control two other soldiers by
calling up a menu, clicking on their skills
and pointing them in the right direction. As
your squadmates gain experience they can
deploy new devices like turrets and shields,
while Carter can hang back and play sniper
or go in the opposite direction to ank the
enemy. Despite the intriguing tactical
angle, however, the missions still become
predictable, settling into an obvious attack-
reload-attack rhythm.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. Two Iraq War veterans eager to
slake a growing American thirst for craft beer are setting up
a brewery less than a mile from the main runway for the
Navys East Coast master jet base. Their beers have names
like Jet Noise Double IPA and Pineapple Grenade
Hefeweizen. And their motto strikes a military chord:
Brewing With the Freedom We Fought For.
Young Veterans Brewing Co. is set to open in September
in military-heavy Hampton Roads. For the brewery presi-
dent, Thomas Wilder, and the co-founder, Neil McCanon,
the business was born of struggles the two endured after
they returned to American soil in 2005 from their overseas
assignments.
The craft brewery is one of a growing corps popping up in
Virginia and the nation. Virginia, which is celebrating its
second craft beer month in August, has seen the industry
grow from about 40 craft breweries last year to more than 60
in 2013. And many more are in the works.
The 29-year-old Wilder spent more than a year in Iraq after
joining the Army National Guard in 2003 right out of high
school. He lost two close friends in a 2004 bombing at a
base in Mosul that killed 22 people, including 18
Americans. Wilder was in Germany getting surgery at the
time of the bombing.
Being at war is tough, but you dont realize how tough it
is while youre there, Wilder said as the sound of F/A-18
ghter jets roared overhead from nearby Naval Air Station
Oceana.
Many vets face trouble reorienting to normal jobs, nd-
ing adequate paying jobs or employment period after mili-
tary service. Many also grapple with war wounds or invisi-
ble post-traumatic stress.
Upon returning home, Wilder tried his hand at school,
hoping to become a teacher. McCanon, 29, went through a
revolving door of hirings and rings. But both knew they
wanted to work for themselves.
When they rst experimented with a home brewing kit
the high school friends from Virginia Beach received as a
gift, Wilder said he was unfamiliar with craft beers. His
knowledge then was limited to mass-produced domestic
beers. But once he began brewing his own, he preferred his
over all others.
The pair hosted house parties offering up free beer to
friends and family to test their creations. Now they hope
their dream of nally opening a brewery will provide an
opportunity to hire other veterans and give back to mili-
tary-related charities.
For me, its sort of my way of showing that after service
theres more to do, Wilder said. For a lot of soldiers who
come home, theres a lot of trouble. Ive been through that
and I know what thats like.
The young veterans are joining ranks as the craft beer
industry is seeing the edge of expansion, noted
McCanon, who joined the Army in 2003 and most recently
was as an Army Reserve drill sergeant.
In Virginia, a budding interest in craft beer is helping
brewers grow at a faster rate than the national average. And
thanks to changes in state law, they are making an impres-
sive impact on the economy.
Production in Virginia grew nearly 37 percent to more
than 84,000 barrels in 2012, more than double the nation-
al growth rate of 15 percent, according to the Brewers
Association, the trade group for the majority of U.S. brew-
ing companies. With more than 2,480 breweries nation-
wide, craft brewers make up a more than $10.2 billion
industry that sold about 13.2 million barrels of beer in
2012.
Despite the industrys recent success, Wilder and
McCanon said opening the brewery about six years in the
making has been harder than living in a war zone. The two
faced resistance from banks when they sought loans. There
were other obstacles along the way.
But ultimately, they raised most of their needed capital of
about $250,000 from investors and an online crowdsourc-
ing campaign. McCanon honed his skills apprenticing at
another local brewery and attended the Siebel Institute of
Technology, Americas oldest brewing school.

Obituary
Edisons growing distrust of adults was offset
when the San Mateo County court system
introduced him to John Ragosta.
Ragosta was a volunteer and is now the pro-
gram manager for the San Mateo County
Court Appointed Special Advocates, or
CASA, an organization that provides support
to children and youth navigating the foster
care system.
I really didnt trust anyone after my fami-
l y. So when CASA came into my life, I was
kinda skeptical at rst. But when I met my
CASAworker, I realized he was actually a real-
ly good guy, and it took me a couple months,
but I started to open up, Edison said.
Many children who enter into the foster
care or juvenile delinquency systems come
from traumatic backgrounds of abandonment
and abuse, said Patricia Miljanich, executive
director of CASA. Due to the scarcity of group
and foster care homes, many of the children
are relocated out of the county; their develop-
ment is disrupted and they are the most vul-
nerable population of youth, Miljanich said.
San Mateo is one of two counties in the
state where the number of foster children is on
the rise, Miljanich said. Last year, 634 chil-
dren entered into the system, a large increase
from the 525 children in the years before,
Miljanich said.
Growing volunteer corps
The San Mateo County CASA branch has
been operating since 1990 and started out as a
very small program with only eight or nine
volunteers, Miljanich said. Since she became
involved in 1999, the number of volunteers
has grown to 190 and CASAworked with 223
kids last year, Miljanich said.
Often, [CASAvolunteers are] the only per-
son who is solely dedicated to the child. They
meet with the child on a regular basis and
develop a bond. Theyre a person who is con-
sistent, shows up when they say they will and
helps facilitate a childs interests, engaging
them in enriching activities. All of the kinds
of things that a parent would do, but that the
child may not have, Miljanich said.
CASA volunteers are required to spend a
minimum of 18 months working closely with
a child, but the average length is about three
years, Ragosta said. Edison, now 22 years
old, remains in close contact with Ragosta
who he sees as a father gure, Edison said.
Edison currently works at a library in
Atherton, but transportation is difcult
because he is considered legally blind and
unable to drive. Ragosta continues to assist
Edison in developing long-term work solu-
tions.
CASA volunteers participate in a childs
life in a variety of ways; from extracurricular
activities to attending school meetings and
court hearings, Miljanich said.
Educational advocacy is a big thing for us.
Volunteers go to schools, meet with teachers,
make sure the child or youth is in the right
academic program and make sure their needs
are being assessed, Miljanich said.
Ragosta worked with Edison on homework,
made sure he was attending school and advo-
cated for his placement in appropriate group
homes, Ragosta said. Edison struggled with
inconsistent relocation, ran away from state
regulated facilities and spent time in juvenile
detention.
I was in [juvenile detention] a lot. But
[Ragosta] never judged me for anything I did.
We just talked about how we can change my
situation when I was in there. How I can bet-
ter myself and how I can mature from my mis-
takes that put me in there, Edison said.
Knowing that a teenagers brain is underde-
veloped, assisting Edison in maturing into a
responsible adult is socially critical and per-
sonally rewarding, Ragosta said.
[Edison] is essentially another family
member, thats what Ive gotten out of it,
Ragosta said.
Government coordination
CASAcollaborates with government-regu-
lated programs like Child Protective
Services where employees are faced with
large caseloads and often focus on the family
as a whole, Miljanich said. CASA supple-
ments these programs by focusing on the
needs of an individual child.
The most powerful thing about the pro-
gram are the volunteers. They think differ-
ently, they focus on the child, theyre not
constrained by some of the limitations an
employee of social services may have. I
think theyre accepted in a different way by
the family because theyre volunteers,
Miljanich said.
CASAvolunteers go through an extensive
training process and are sworn ofcers of the
court, Miljanich said. Juvenile court proceed-
ings are closed to the public, but CASAvol-
unteers can attend a childs hearings and
review confidential information such as
school, medical and court records, Miljanich
said.
By including reports about the time they
spend with a child, CASA volunteers submit
recommendations to the court that are given
precedence, Miljanich said.
Raising funds
It costs about $2,500 for one CASAvolun-
teer to work with a child each year and 10 per-
cent of their budget is derived from the State
Court Judicial Counsel budget, Miljanich
said. However, CASA runs primarily on
donations from generous sponsors and
fundraisers, said Brigitte Greenstone,
CASAs development associate.
On Sunday, Aug. 25, CASAs auxiliary
members will be hosting their sixth annual
Garden Party fundraiser. They are expecting
about 300 people to show and have already
raised $100,000; a stark increase from the
$12,000 they raised during their first
fundraiser, Greenstone said. Encouraging
altruistic donations and sharing stories of
their success is necessary to reach their goal
of pairing every foster child with a CASA
worker, Greenstone said.
Edison has lectured during CASA trainee
sessions and will be speaking about his
experiences at this years event. Miljanich
hopes that by supporting these children, they
can go on to become successful in their own
lives and helpful to others in similar predica-
ments.
One of the critical things that a CASAvol-
unteer can do is just be someone who will lis-
ten, Miljanich said. Who [a child] can share
their experiences with, talk about their fears
and nd out what their interests are so they
can develop those skills and go on to be able
to become advocates for themselves.

ing across the western U.S.
As ames approached an area of Pine
Mountain Lake with 268 homes in the
afternoon, deputies went door-to-door
to deliver the news and to urge people to
leave, Tuolumne County Sheriffs
Department Sgt. Scott Johnson said.
The evacuations are not mandatory,
although Johnson stressed that the re,
smoke and the potential for power out-
ages pose imminent threats.
We arent going to drag you out of
our house, but when we are standing in
front of you telling you its an advisory,
its time to go, he said.
Fire ofcials said the blaze, which
started Saturday, had grown to more than
84 square miles and was only 2 percent
contained Thursday, down from 5 per-
cent a day earlier. Two homes and seven
outbuildings have been destroyed.
While the park remains open, the
blaze has caused the closure of a 4-mile
stretch of State Route 120, one of three
entrances into Yosemite on the west
side, devastating areas that live off of
park-fueled tourism.
Ofcials also have advised voluntary
evacuations of more than a thousand
other homes, several organized camps
and at least two campgrounds. More
homes, businesses and hotels are threat-
ened in nearby Groveland, a community
of 600 about 5 miles from the re and 25
miles from the entrance of Yosemite.
Usually during summer, its swamped
with tourists, you cant nd parking
downtown, said Christina Wilkinson,
who runs Grovelands social media
pages and lives in Pine Mountain Lake.
Now, the streets are empty. All we see
is reghters, emergency personnel and
re trucks.
Though Wilkinson said she and her
husband are staying put for now
many area businesses have closed and
people who had vacation rental homes
are cancelling plans, local business
owners said.
This re, its killing our nancial
picture, said Corinna Loh, whose fami-
ly owns the still-open Iron Door Saloon
and Grill in Groveland. This is our high
season and it has gone to nothing, were
really hurting.
Loh said most of her employees have
left town. And the familys Spinning
Wheel Ranch, where they rent cabins to
tourists, has also been evacuated
because its directly in the line of re.
Two outbuildings have burned at the
ranch, Loh said, and she still has no
word whether the house and cabins sur-
vived.
Were all just standing on eggshells,
waiting, Loh said.
The governors emergency declara-
tion nding conditions of extreme
peril to the safety of persons and prop-
erty frees up funds and reghting
resources and helps Tuolumne County in
seeking federal disaster relief.
Park ofcials said the re has not
impacted the park itself, which can still
be accessed via state Routes 140 and 41
from the west, as well as State Route
120 from the east side.
Yosemite Valley is clear of smoke, all
accommodations and attractions are
open, and campgrounds are full, said
park spokesman Scott Gediman. During
summer weekdays, the park gets up to
15,000 visitors.
The re is totally outside the park,
Gediman said. The parks very busy,
people are here. Theres no reason that
they should not come.
The Yosemite County Tourism Bureau
based in Mariposa has been helping
tourists displaced by the re to nd new
accommodations in other park-area
towns, said director Terry Selk.
In Yellowstone National Park, ve
wildres have been burned about 18
square miles of mostly remote areas on
the 25th anniversary of the infamous
1988 res that burned more than 1,200
square miles inside Yellowstone, or
more than a third of the park.
The vast areas that burned that year
remain obvious to anybody who drives
through. The trees in the burn areas are a
lot shorter.
This summers res havent been any-
where near that disruptive. The biggest
re in Yellowstone, one that has burned
about 12 square miles in the Hayden
Valley area, for a time Tuesday closed the
road that follows the Yellowstone River
between Fishing Bridge and Canyon
Village.
FIRE
Councilwoman Terry Nagel said the
site has become unsightly.
Weve given them plenty of notice
and its time they clean up their act,
Nagel said. They nancially didnt
have incentive to do anything with the
project. The council is really ready to
do something about this. The worst
thing you want is vandals, people try-
ing to nest there, garage being dumped
there and its rusting. The covers we
made them put up are starting to fall
down.
Many audience members expressed
disappointment and anger with what
some consider to be an eyesore to the
community, a neglected project.
Back in May 2013, the company
received a one-year building permit
extension from the city, which expires
on May 28, 2014. The next step seems
to be receiving nancing from a lender
to proceed with the project.
As approved by the Planning
Commission, the facility was to be
operated by Sunrise. Abuilding permit
for the project was issued in mid-2007
and the permit had an initial expira-
tion date of May 28, 2010.
The city gave the extension, contin-
gent on certain commitments that
Sunrise had to make. Progress reports,
updates to the city, inspections of the
unnished structure and demonstration
of progress toward completion of the
project by the new building permit
deadline were some of the stipulations.
Coelho noted that the company fully
plans to meet these conditions.
Coelho said Sunrise recently had struc-
tural engineer inspect the structure and
found the building to be sound, only
requiring minor repairs such as
straightening the fence and removing
weeds from the lot Sunrise leases.
Jerry Liang, vice president of corpo-
rate nance of Sunrise Living said dur-
ing the nancial crisis, the company
went through some very dark times.
We had rounds of layoffs and were
running out of cash, Liang said. We
focused on taking care of residents and
employees in communities we already
had. We worked really hard and nally
stabilized relatively recently. We were
sold in January 2013 and since then
theres been change and transition.
Health Care REIT, an Ohio-based
health-care property owner, bought
Sunrise in an all-cash deal worth $845
million. Sunrise is run out of McLean,
Va. and currently employees around
29,000 people and serves almost
30,000 seniors in nearly 300 housing
communities in the United States,
Canada and the United Kingdom.
Liang said Sunrise has been working
with mortgage broker and that the
project is a high priority project since
the building is already in place.
Councilman Jerry Deal attended the
gathering Wednesday night.
I was a very, very positive meet-
ing, Deal said. They said the right
things and were contrite in the way
they should have been. It was one of
those situations that if we denied
extension of the permit it would be a
worse situation. Were taking them on
their word now, and if not, the hammer
comes down.
Ellen Berkowitz, an attorney work-
ing with Sunrise, said if the company
cant get nancing, it will work with
the property owner to discuss next
steps.
Burlingame Community
Development Director Bill Meeker
said if Sunrise fails to begin construc-
tion by the May deadline, the city will
weigh legal options then, but the pri-
ority at the moment is to work with
Sunrise to begin the construction
before next May.
The council will also discuss the
project at their Sept. 3 meeting.

auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you
are the highest bidder at the auction, you
are or may be responsible for paying off
all liens senior to the lien being auctioned
off, before you can receive clear title to
the property. You are encouraged to in-

DAMASCUS, Syria Syrias deputy
prime minister told the Associated Press
that foreign ghters and their international
backers are to blame for a purported chemi-
cal weapons attack near Damascus that the
opposition says killed at least 100 people,
the deadliest such attack in Syrias civil war.
Government forces, meanwhile, pum-
meled the targeted rebel strongholds where
the alleged attack occurred with airstrikes
and artillery for a second day, violence that
was likely to complicate any swift investi-
gation into the mysterious circumstances
surrounding the deaths.
Deputy Prime Minister Qadri Jamils com-
ments were part of a government campaign
to use the horror over the deaths to boost its
narrative about the conict that Syria is
under assault by foreign Islamic radicals. It
is an argument that has powerful resonance
with the Syrian public as the presence of
militants ghting alongside Syrias rebels
increases.
Rebels blamed the attack on the Syrian
military, saying toxic chemicals were used
in artillery barrages on the area known as
eastern Ghouta on Wednesday. Jamil did not
directly acknowledge that toxic gas was
used against the eastern suburbs but denied
allegations by anti-government activists
that President Bashar Assads forces were
behind the assault.
The murky nature of the purported attacks,
and the difculty of gaining access to the
sites amid the carnage of Syrias war and
government restrictions on foreign media,
has made it impossible to verify the claims.
But they have fueled calls in the West for
greater action against Assads regime as
amateur videos and photos showed images
of the dead, including scores of lifeless chil-
dren, wrapped in white cloths and lying
shoulder to shoulder, while others struggled
to breathe. Many pointed to the fact that
their pale skin was unmarked by any wounds
as evidence that it was a chemical attack.
The U.S., Britain and France along with a
host of other countries demanded that a team
of United Nations experts already in Syria
be granted immediate access to the site.

WASHINGTON The U.S. is poised to
suspend another major weapons shipment to
Egypt amid sharp divisions within the
Obama administration over whether to cut
off aid to the military-backed government.
The debate mirrors similar disagreements
over intervening in Syria, where there are
new reports that chemical weapons have
been used by the government.
Factions within the administration line up
largely along two fronts: those who want the
U.S. to take more decisive action to counter
widespread violence in both Egypt and
Syria, and senior military and some diplo-
matic leaders who are arguing for modera-
tion.
The lack of a unied position both
within the administration and on Capitol
Hill - is giving Obama time and space for his
cautious approach. But it also poses a moral
question: How far should the U.S. go to stop
violence against civilians when its actions
could drag America into the war in Syria or
damage U.S. relations with Egypt and
undermine the Egypt-Israel peace accord.
The next military weapons shipments for
Egypt are scheduled for next month
including 10 Apache helicopters at a cost of
about $500 million. Also scheduled for
delivery are a number of M1A1 tank kits,
including machine guns and other equipment
used with the tanks, as well as some used
missiles. The missiles, which have been
moved and handled, but not yet red, could
be used for spare parts by the Egyptian mili-
tary or they could be refurbished and red.
According to senior U.S. ofcials, howev-
er, the administration is expected to delay
the delivery of Apache helicopters. That
move, which may not come until next week,
would be the second major weapons sale put
on hold by the U.S. in an effort to pressure
the Egyptian military to halt bloodshed and
take steps toward a more peaceful transition
to democracy.
The officials spoke on condition of
anonymity because they were not authorized
to discuss the matter publicly
The Pentagon has argued for pragmatism
in the U.S. response to Egypt. Defense of-
cials say cutting off aid would threaten key
national security agreements and could rattle
the peace between Egypt and Israel.
Pentagon leaders, including Defense
Secretary Chuck Hagel and Gen. Martin
Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, say that would rob the U.S. of any con-
tinuing leverage, and also risk agreements
that give America access to the Suez Canal
and allow military ights over Egypt.
Even as ofcials continue to review aid to
Egypt, the U.S. military has continued ship-
ments of thousands of spare parts for
American weapons systems used by the
Egyptian forces, including armored bulldoz-
ers for border security, radars and missiles.
Senate Republican leader Mitch
McConnell said Thursday that he believed
the U.S. had reached a tipping point on
Egypt. The Egyptian military needs to let
the democratic process go forward. I think
were going to be voting on this again in
September because it looks to me like the
crackdown is not an indication that they are
moving in the direction of having a new
election, he told CNN.
Meanwhile, the latest concerns about
chemical weapons in Syria prompted a more
than 90-minute meeting of the U.S. national
security team. Secretary of State John Kerry,
who is on vacation, attended via video tele-
conference and made a urry of telephone
calls to world leaders to discuss the unrelent-
ing bloodshed in Syria.
