JUDGE SAYS BULLET TRAIN FAILED TO COMPLY WITH THE
FINANCIAL, ENVIRONMENTAL PROMISES
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Technology is on the forefront of
San Mateo Union High School District
Superintendent Scott Laurences mind
these days.
Laurence, 56, who began his post
with the district four years ago, said
transitioning to the Common Core
Standards has been a huge focus of the
district for the last couple of years. The
new standards calls for a shift to more
project-based and team collaborative
learning, with less time spent on lec-
tures and more of an emphasis on stu-
dents using technology in classrooms.
Ofcials say the standards will do a
better job prepping students for col-
lege and careers.
Its pretty transformational,
Laurence said. Its a new way, a good
way, of instruction, assessment and
global problem solving. Its about
critical thinking and writing as
opposed to data memorization.
He noted that the world is changing
and, with advances in technology, he
wants to make sure students are ready
to go out into the world.
I dont think you can rest or relax,
Laurence said. Its a different world
even from ve years ago. Were trying
to be forward thinking about whats
next.
During his almost 25 years as a
teacher, coach and administrator in the
Palo Alto School District, Laurence
said he was able to do a lot of creative
work with instruction and he enjoyed
his time there. His wife Kathie is an
assistant principal at Palo Alto High
School. He also has two sons, one age
23 and another who is turning 19 next

Jobless rate
rises in state
By Don Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Californias
unemployment rate increased
slightly to 8.7 percent in July, the
rst such bump since the spring of
2011, state officials announced
Friday.
The rate increased two-tenths of
a percentage point, up from 8.5
percent in June, according to the
state Employment Development
Department.
However, the state remains on
an overall positive trend and the
slight increase could be a statisti-
cal aberration, said department
spokesman Kevin Callori. July
tends to be more volatile because
of summer seasonal employment
and because recent graduates are
seeking jobs.
Its denitely a departure from
the prevailing trend because we
had 23 straight months of decreas-
es, he said. We always caution
people not to look at a particular
month and focus on the trend.
Weve dropped quite a lot since
California remains on overall positive trend,
increase could be a statistical aberration
Common Core, innovation top priorities for SMUHSD head

DAY OF RAGE
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Amid both public and board concern, the
San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School
District denied a plan to lease land next to
the undeveloped College Park Elementary
School to Caltrain at its meeting last night.
The Board of Trustees voted 5-0 against
the plan that would have leased a 30,000-
square-foot field located at corner of
Humboldt Street and Poplar Avenue to
Caltrain for two years, from June 2014 to
May 2016 to provide a construction staging
area. This would have been in conjunction
with a Caltrain project to replace four aging
rail bridges in San Mateos North Central
neighborhood that do not meet current seis-
mic safety standards. The bridges are located
at Tilton, Monte Diablo, Santa Inez and
Caltrain wont lease school district land
Future of lot at College Park Elementary uncertain
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The Stanford in Redwood City project
could be moved one step closer to reality by
the Redwood City Planning Commission if
it recommends approval of the environmen-
tal documents and a development agreement
that will deliver millions of dollars for
infrastructure improvements, education and
even summer entertainment.
The project represents Stanford
Universitys rst signicant expansion out-
side of its main campus. It would create a
satellite to accommodate both academic and
non-academic users that dont need to be on
the main campus.
If the commission and the City Council
both nd the nal environmental impact
report sufciently addresses the projects
impacts, both groups can then get to work
on discussing the merits of the universitys
expansion. On Tuesday night, the Planning
Planners to take on Stanford expansion project
Redwood City may be home to satellite university campus

A 65-year-old house cleaner who
allegedly torched an SUV in the parking
lot of the Daly City Department of Motor
Vehicles because he was angry about not
reclaiming his towed vehicle has recov-
ered the mental ability to stand trial,
according to a judge.
Based on the conclusions of staff at
Napa State Hospital, Judge Robert Foiles
found that Hugo Carranza regained compe-
tency during his stay at the state facility.
Carranzas defense attorney had planned to
contest the hospitals return of Carranza to
San Mateo County for prosecution but
changed her mind and
left Foiles to decide.
Carranza returns to court
Aug. 27 for a prelimi-
nary hearing on the evi-
dence prosecutors say
show him guilty of
arson and vandalism.
Carranza, whose vehi-
cle had been towed by
San Francisco police in
October 2011, due to an expired registra-
tion, reportedly paid fines at the DMV
office but could not get his car released. On
April 23, 2012, he allegedly filled a bottle
with oil or gas, randomly selected what he
thought was an employees vehicle and
poured the liquid over two tires before
lighting them on fire. The 2008 Cadillac
Escalade was scorched and the flames also
damaged a Honda in an adjacent space.
Awitness reported seeing Carranza walk
away from the scene and the arson was
reportedly caught on tape. At the scene,
Carranza walked up to a police lieutenant
and said Im the one who did it, accord-
ing to prosecutors.
Last November, court-appointed doctors
agreed Carranza was unable to aid in his
own defense.
Carranza remains in custody on
$100,000 bail.

the agency overseeing the bullet train failed
to comply with the nancial and environ-
mental promises made to voters when they
approved initial funding for the project ve
years ago.
Superior Court Judge Michael Kenny said
the California High-Speed Rail Authority
abused its discretion by approving a fund-
ing plan that did not comply with the
requirements of the law and has failed to
identify sources of funds that were more
than merely theoretically possible.
Yet he declined to immediately halt fund-
ing for the project, saying it was not clear
that he had the discretion to do so and he will
hold another hearing to determine what hap-
pens next. Adate has not yet been set.
The 2008 initiative, Proposition 1A,
required the rail authority to specify where
the funding would come from for the rst
operable segment of high-speed rail and
have all the environmental clearances in
place. Kenny said the agency did not comply
with either of those mandates, but
Proposition 1Aappears to leave it up to law-
makers to decide whether the funding plan is
sufcient to warrant funding.
The ofce of Gov. Jerry Brown, who has
championed the project, directed inquiries to
the rail authority. Dan Richard, the Brown-
appointed chairman of the authoritys board,
said work on the project will continue until
the judge determines the remedy.
In the meantime, he said the Legislatures
nancial appropriation remains valid.
We take our commitment to Proposition
1A seriously and continue to work towards
developing a high-speed rail project that
benets all Californians, he said in a state-
ment to the Associated Press.
Central Valley landowners and the Kings
County Board of Supervisors argued in their
2011 lawsuit that the $68 billion high-
speed rail plan did not meet the promises
made to voters when they approved selling
$10 billion in bonds for it.
However, the lawsuit was led in 2011,
before the authority revised its business
plan to scale back the cost and revise the
planned routes, and high-speed rail ofcials
believe many of the arguments made in court
no longer apply to the project.
Still, the rail authority has only received
environmental approval for the rst 28-mile
section of track and was scheduled to begin
construction on that segment in late sum-
mer.

Medi-Cal cut of 10
percent begins next month
SACRAMENTO Long-delayed cuts to
Medi-Cal reimbursements are slated to go
forward, slashing doctor and medical worker
payments by 10 percent, and promising to
save the state $387 million, according to
state advocates.
Doctors and other opponents have argued
that the controversial cuts make caring for
poor and disabled patients less nancially
viable than ever, and the timing means the
cuts will coincide with the expansion of
Medi-Cal, Californias Medicaid program,
under federal health care reform.
In June, a federal appeals court ruled that
the cuts can proceed after two years of being
held up by a lawsuit, according to the Los
Angeles Times.
The state Department of Health Care
Services said the cuts begin being phased in
next month and are due to be fully imple-
mented by January.
The rst to be hit will be dentists and med-
ical transporters on Sept. 5. Medical equip-
ment providers will see cuts starting Oct.
24. Doctors, pharmacists and nursing facil-
ities will follow on Jan. 9.
Some allowances will be made for expen-
sive drugs and treatments, such as nonprof-
its that provide extensive dental surgery to
children in rural areas.
State health care services spokesman
Norman Williams said the cut is an impor-
tant way to maintain scal discipline.
The decision to make these reductions
was a difficult choice, but necessary to
address the states budget issues, he told
the Times.
The cut was supposed to take effect in
2011 but was delayed by the lawsuit. As a
result, the state will retroactively collect
money from many health care providers.
FBI probes nude photo

SAN FRANCISCO ACanadian utility has
agreed to a $750 million refund as part of a
settlement for overcharging California
ratepayers during the states energy crisis
more than a decade ago, Attorney General
Kamala Harris and the Public Utilities
Commission announced Friday.
Harris and the PUC say the deal with
Powerex is the largest out-of-court settlement
with electricity sellers to date. State ofcials
accused the British Columbia-owned hydro-
electric utility of market gaming by purchas-
ing electricity from California, shipping it to
Canada, and then selling it back to California
at exorbitant prices between 2000 and 2001.
Californians suffered through huge rate
hikes and blackouts during the energy crisis,
Harris said in a statement. This settlement
brings long-awaited compensation to
California ratepayers for Powerexs conduct.
State ofcials say with the pending settle-
ment with Powerex, California will have col-
lected about $4 billion in refunds from elec-
tricity sellers during and after the energy cri-
sis.
About 47 electricity sellers have since set-
tled separately with the state of California,
Powerex said in a statement released Friday.
California state ofcials say other claims
with other sellers are pending.

WASHINGTON New revelations from
leaker Edward Snowden that the National
Security Agency has overstepped its author-
ity thousands of times since 2008 are stir-
ring renewed calls on Capitol Hill for seri-
ous changes to NSA spy programs, under-
mining White House hopes that President
Barack Obama had quieted the controversy
with his assurances of oversight.
An internal audit provided by Snowden to
The Washington Post shows the agency has
repeatedly broken privacy rules or exceeded
its legal authority every year since
Congress granted it broad new powers in
2008.
In one of the documents, agency person-
nel are instructed to remove details and sub-
stitute more generic language in reports to
the Justice Department and the Ofce of the
Director of National Intelligence reports
used as the basis for informing Congress.
Obama has repeatedly said that Congress
was thoroughly briefed on the programs
revealed by Snowden in June, but some sen-
ior lawmakers said they had been unaware of
the NSA audit until they read the news on
Friday. The programs described earlier vacu-
um up vast amounts of metadata such as
telephone numbers called and called from,
the time and duration of calls from most
Americans phone records, and scoop up
global Internet usage data.
White House deputy press secretary Josh
Earnest said Friday that the NSAdocuments
showed that NSAs Compliance Ofce estab-
lished in 2009 is monitoring, detecting,
addressing and reporting compliance inci-
dents, and that the majority of the com-
pliance incidents are unintentional. In a
statement from the Massachusetts island of
Marthas Vineyard, where the president is
vacationing, he added that the administra-
tion is keeping the Congress appropriate-
ly informed of compliance issues as they
arise.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman
Patrick Leahy announced he would hold
hearings into the new disclosures.
I remain concerned that we are still
not get t i ng st rai ght forward answers
from the NSA, the Vermont Democrat
said in a statement.
Senate Intelligence Committee chair-
woman Dianne Feinstein said her commit-
tee had been notied of compliance prob-
lems not by seeing the internal audit but
through legally required reports to her com-
mittee.
In all such cases, the incidents have been
addressed by ending or adapting the activi-
t y, the California Democrat said in a state-
ment. She added, The committee has
never identied an instance in which the
NSA has intentionally abused its authority
to conduct surveillance for inappropriate
purposes.
But she said that committee would be ask-
ing for additional reports in future, and
members would start making routine trips
to the NSAto oversee its activities.
Her Republican House counterpart,
Intelligence chairman Mike Rogers, said
human error was inevitable and there was
no intentional and willful violation of the
law.
But the top Democrat on the House
Intelligence Committee, C.A. Dutch
Ruppersberger of Maryland, called the new
disclosures incredibly troubling. He said
he had instructed his staff to thoroughly
review and evaluate these allegations.
Another Democratic member of the
Intelligence Committee, Rep. Mike
Thompson of California, said: Reports
that the NSA repeatedly overstepped its
legal boundaries, broke privacy regulations
and attempted to shield required disclosure
of violations are outrageous, inappropriate
and must be addressed.

WASHINGTON The politics of the
abortion debate are always tricky for law-
makers. They may soon get personal.
An attempt to x a problem with the
national health care law has created a situa-
tion in which members of Congress and
their staffers could gain access to abortion
coverage. Thats a benet currently denied
to them and to all federal employees who
get health insurance through the govern-
ments plan.
Abortion opponents say the Obama
administration needs to x the congres-
sional exception; abortion rights support-
ers say such concerns are overblown.
The abortion complication is another
headache for the administration as it tries
to shoehorn members of Congress and cer-
tain staffers into insurance markets coming
later this year under President Barack
Obamas health care overhaul.
An amendment by Iowa Republican Sen.
Charles Grassley who opposes
Obamacare and abortion requires law-
makers and their personal staff to get pri-
vate coverage through the same markets
that uninsured Americans will use.
Last week, the Office of Personnel
Management said the government would
keep paying its share of premiums for law-
makers and affected staffers who must leave
the federal employee health care system by
Jan. 1.
That eased a major anxiety for several
thousand staffers accustomed to getting the
same benets as other federal employees.
But the proposed regulation did not
explicitly address abortion coverage.
Under the health care law, insurance plans
in the new markets may cover abortion
unless a state passes a law prohibiting
them from doing so.
Plans offering coverage for abortion,
however, may not use federal funds to pay
for it. Federal tax credits to help the unin-
sured afford coverage must be kept apart
from premiums collected for abortion cov-
erage.
Abortion opponents say the regulation
would circumvent a longstanding law that
bars the use of taxpayer funds for adminis-
trative expenses in connection with any
health plan under the federal employees
health benefits program which provides
any benets or coverage for abortions.
Unlike many private corporate plans, fed-
eral employee plans only cover abortions
in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of
the mother.
Under this scheme, (the government)
will be paying the administrative costs,
said Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., author of
the abortion funding ban for federal
employee plans. Its a radical deviation
and departure from current federal law, and
its not for all federal employees, but for a
subset: Congress. Us.
Smith is calling on the Obama adminis-
tration to specify that lawmakers and
staffers must choose a plan that does not
cover abortions. The funding ban, in place
since the 1980s, is known as the Smith
amendment.

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

WASHINGTON A resurgence of vio-
lence and a renewed threat from al-Qaida
have recently revived agging U.S. interest
in Iraq, ofcials said Friday as Baghdad
asked for new help to ght extremists less
than two years after it forced American
troops to withdraw.
Faced with security crises across the
Mideast, North Africa and Asia, the White
House largely has turned its attention away
from Iraq since U.S. forces left in 2011. But
the country has been hit with deadly bomb-
ings at a rate reminiscent of Iraqs darkest
days, stoking new fears of a civil war. More
than 1,000 Iraqis were killed in terror-relat-
ed attacks in July, the deadliest month since
2008.
The violence has spurred Baghdad to seek
new U.S. aid to curb the threat, said Iraqi
Foreign Minister Foreign Minister Hoshyar
Zebari. He said a U.S. assistance package
could include a limited number of advisers,
intelligence analysis and surveillance
assets including lethal drones.
There is greater realization in the Iraq
government that we should not shy away
from coming and asking for some help and
assistance, Zebari told reporters Friday in
Washington.
He described U.S. interest in Iraq after the
2011 troop withdrawal as indifferent, com-
pletely but said that seemed to shift as the
White House realized al-Qaidas resurrection
there.
Recently I noticed, and during this visit
specifically, there is a renewed interest
because of the seriousness of the situation
and the challenges, Zebari said. I think
that is because of the threat of terrorism, the
threat of the renewal of al-Qaida and its afl-
iates has become a serious, serious concern
to the U.S.
The American troops left Iraq in December
2011 as required under a 2008 security
agreement. Both countries tried to negoti-
ate plans, but failed, to keep at least several
thousand U.S. forces in Iraq beyond the
deadline to maintain security. But the pro-
posal fell through after Baghdad refused to
give the troops immunity from legal
charges, as Washington demanded.
Nearly 4,500 U.S. troops were killed, and
American taxpayers spent at least $767 bil-
lion during the nearly nine years of war in
Iraq.
Zebari attributed the insurgencys come-
back to its partnerships with al-Qaida ght-
ers in neighboring Syria and outlawed
Baath Party extremists in Iraqs south.
Intelligence experts have described the ter-
ror groups footing in Iraq and Syria as a
new al-Qaida hub in the Mideast, one that
has sought for years to underscore
Baghdads inability to protect its people.

LAS VEGAS UFO buffs and believers in
alien encounters are celebrating the CIAs
clearest acknowledgement yet of the exis-
tence of Area 51, the top-secret Cold War
test site that has been the subject of elabo-
rate conspiracy theories for decades.
The recently declassied documents have
set the tinfoil-hat crowd abuzz, though
theres no mention in the papers of UFO
crashes, black-eyed extraterrestrials or
staged moon landings.
Audrey Hewins, an Oxford, Maine,
woman who runs a support group for people
like her who believe they have been con-
tacted by extraterrestrials, said she suspects
the CIA is moving closer to disclosing
there are space aliens on Earth.
Im thinking that theyre probably test-
ing the waters now to see how mad people
get about the big lie and cover-up, she
said.
For a long time, U.S. government of-
cials hesitated to acknowledge even the
existence of Area 51.
The CIA history released Thursday not
only refers to Area 51 by name and
describes some of the aviation activities
that took place there, but locates the Air
Force base on a map, along the dry Groom
Lake bed.
It also talks about some cool planes,
though none of them are saucer-shaped.
George Washington Universitys
National Security Archive used a public
records request to obtain the CIAhistory of
one of Area 51s most secret Cold War proj-
ects, the U-2 spy plane program.
National Security Archive senior fellow
Jeffrey Richelson rst reviewed the history
in 2002, but all mentions of the countrys
most mysterious military base had been
redacted. So he requested the history again
in 2005, hoping for more information. Sure
enough, he received a version a few weeks
ago with the mentions of Area 51 restored.

Presidential masks
Editor,
Its not all that often I agree with
Keith De Filippis (Letter: Masks and
the presidency in the Aug. 16 edition
of the Daily Journal), but the outrage
over the Obama mask worn by a rodeo
clown is way overblown. Satire and
ridicule come with the presidency, and
if you have a thin skin its not the
job for you. There is zero evidence
any outrage came directly from the
White House, and the president is too
cool to be bothered much by it, I
assure you. Some of his supporters
are, though.
I saw nothing to suggest it was
racially motivated. Now, some of the
signs and actions by the tea party dur-
ing the last election, which were
defended in these pages by some,
were plainly racist. Anyone in San
Jose or anywhere else should be intel-
ligent enough to recognize that fact,
were their IQ to equal or exceed their
body temperature. Rodeo clowns in
Obama masks ... if you cant take the
heat get out of the ... .

R
eady for a story that will
make you want to tear your
hair out, at least if you sup-
port pension reform? Here goes.
In 1963, President John F. Kennedy
and many in Congress were keen on
using federal funds to improve decay-
ing mass-transit systems in urban
areas. But transit unions, worried
about the sharp decline in transit jobs
after World War II, were strongly
opposed. According to an analysis
commissioned by the Federal Transit
Association, the workers feared that
automated, driverless cars and buses
could wipe out scores of jobs, and that
the federal effort might lead to gov-
ernment takeovers of private transit
rms and an abrogation of their work-
ers collectively bargained contracts.
To win union support, Kennedy,
Congress and Lyndon B. Johnson,
Kennedys successor, agreed to
include protections for transit work-
ers in what became the Urban Mass
Transportation Act of 1964. The most
signicant: Federal transit funds shall
not go to governments that have not
preserved the rights, privileges and
benets under existing collective bar-
gaining agreements of all transit
workers in the area where the funds are
to be spent.
Nearly 50 years later, this arcane
provision not only threatens to cost
California billions of dollars in feder-
al funds; it could hamper pension
reform efforts across the nation.
Thats because in an Aug. 1 letter,
U.S. Labor Secretary Thomas E. Perez
told state ofcials that he had con-
cluded the modest but constructive
pension reform adopted by the
Legislature last year circumvents the
collective-bargaining rights of the
states 20,000 transit workers.
The reform requires the use of a less-
generous retirement formula for pub-
lic employees hired starting Jan. 1 of
this year. It also requires all govern-
ments to steadily adjust pension-fund-
ing formulas until the employer and
employee share the cost burden equal-
l y.
In his letter, Perez expressed sym-
pathy for the scal bind that led
California to seek pension reform.
But he said he has concluded that he
has no choice but to withhold funds
starting Friday unless state tran-
sit workers are exempted from the
2012 pension reform. The labor sec-
retary notes that a bill before the
Legislature, AB 160, would do just
that.
This is preposterous. A1964 legal
provision addressing concerns that
may have been valid then but are now
moot has morphed into a powerful
protection for the pensions of all
mass-transit workers even those
not yet hired.
But it is a reality, one that imperils
$1.6 billion in federal funds for 83
state projects in scal 2013 alone. As
a result, we urge the Legislature to
quickly pass AB 160 and minimize
the fallout. After that, the administra-
tion of Gov. Jerry Brown should col-
lectively bargain with the unions rep-
resenting the 20,000 transit workers
and try to salvage whatever pension
reforms it can.
But in the big picture, Congress and
the Obama administration must revise
the 1964 law. Local and state govern-
ments everywhere are reeling from
pension costs. They should not face
federal threats of any kind for trying
to address their problems especial-
ly threats mandated by a 49-year-old
political payoff to unions.
Archaic law sandbags states pension reform
Waiting long enough
S
ecretary of Veterans Affairs Eric Shinseki is an
honorable man. He served his country for 38
years and rose to the rank of general. In 1999, he
became the 34th chief of staff of the U.S. Army. He is the
highest-ranking Japanese-American to have ever served
in the U.S. armed forces. He has commanded troops. He
is a Vietnam veteran. He has a Purple Heart and lost part
of his foot when he stepped on a land mine. Yet he has
been a failure as the secretary of
Veterans Affairs. Its time for
him to resign his post.
When President Obama nomi-
nated Gen. Shinseki to become
the secretary of Veterans Affairs,
he was unanimously confirmed
by the U.S. Senate and sworn in
Jan. 20, 2009. This made Gen.
Shinseki only the seventh VA
secretary. His specific charge is
to oversee veterans benefits
and related matters. His job is to
make sure those service men and
women are valued and fairly
treated by the country they fought for, throughout their
lives.
When Shinseki assumed office, the number of back-
logged claims stood at 100,000. Three years later, in
2012, when he attended the Veterans of Foreign Wars
National Convention, the backlog was 500,000 claims.
He vowed to address this problem, and promised that the
share of backlogged claims in the system would be no
higher than 40 percent of the total when he returned next
year. Yet now, a year later, 65 percent of all claims are
still backlogged. Indeed, we still have 500,000 back-
logged, which means 500,000 veterans are still waiting
for the benefits they deserve.
Concerned Veterans for America wants to do more than
complain about the failures of our government. We want
to help solve problems. Thats why our Nevada chapter
offered to provide volunteers to help with the paperwork
at the VA. But they were turned down. The VAexplained
that filling out these forms requires training. In fact, it
can take up to two years to train a new VAemployee to
be a claims examiner. Aformer Air Force pilot was
amazed. It only takes a year in the Air Force to train a
new pilot and that includes the T-37 and T-38 jet trainers.
Something is clearly fundamentally wrong with this sys-
tem.
CVAdoesnt want to just complain, but we do know the
importance of holding people accountable for their
actions and results. Thats why, when CVAfound out that
senior management at the VAwas receiving annual per-
formance bonuses, they headed for Capitol Hill to ask
why. Why would the government spend our taxpayer
money giving bonuses to executives in an agency that
clearly hasnt performed and hasnt fulfilled its mission?
AVAspokesman subsequently announced those bonuses
had been eliminated. Thats a small bit of reassurance and
we are glad to have helped protect taxpayers once again.
Now, CVAis committed to calling attention to the dis-
mal record at the VAof processing veterans claims.
Weve been holding symposiums with key leaders and
elected officials to intensify calls to address this derelic-
tion of duty.
U.S. Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., said it right in a press
release: Any progress toward eliminating the backlog
is welcome news. But we cannot forget the department is
still far short of its own backlog performance bench-
marks for 2013.
And indeed, that is the reality that Americans should
keep in mind. As of August 2013, total pending VA
claims are 774,816, of which 489,387, or 63.2 percent,
are backlogged. This is the first time since August 2011
that the backlog has dropped below 500,000, but we
still have a long way to go.
On Aug. 20, CVAwill deliver more than 26,000 signed
petitions to the White House demanding that President
Obama fix the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and
put an end to the massive backlog of disability and pen-
sion claims. We are telling the White House we arent
going away. Its time for a fundamental transformation
of the VA.
Secretary Shinseki, thank you for your service. Most
of your life has been spent risking your life in the
defense of our country. But I am certain you understand
command responsibility. You are responsible for that
backlog. If you cant do the job, then you must step
down. Our nations veterans have been kept waiting long
enough.

E
ighteen states had something
to cheer about this month
when the Centers for Disease
Control announced it had detected
small declines in the childhood obesi-
ty rates.
CDC Director Thomas Frieden said
it was the rst time researchers had
seen a signicant decrease in child-
hood obesity at the national level.
Unfortunately, Nebraska was not
among the states that posted declines.
But theres some solace in the fact
that Nebraska at least was able to
avoid an increase. It was among 24
states in which the childhood obesity
rate held steady.
That small achievement is impor-
tant, because holding down the child-
hood obesity rate helps avoid health
problems when kids grow into adults.
And it should be noted that some
communities in Nebraska have suc-
ceeded in reducing obesity rates.
Schools in Kearney, for example,
have managed to decrease obesity
among grade-schoolers by 13 percent
since 2006. School ofcials partnered
with the University of Nebraska at
Kearney and volunteer parents to
redesign physical education programs
and schedule physical activity into
the classroom day. They made school
lunches healthier.
Lincoln Mayor Chris Beutler was
honored in Washington last month by
rst lady Michelle Obama for the
Capital Citys anti-obesity efforts.
In todays afuent, sedentary socie-
ty its all too easy for calories con-
sumed to drift out of balance with
calories burned.
For example, this month the jour-
nal Pediatrics linked consumption of
one sugary drink a day to childhood
obesity. Scientists said 5-year-olds
who had a sugary drink a day were 43
percent more likely to be obese. The
sugary drinks included soda pop, so-
called sports drinks and sweetened
juice drinks.
The fact that there nally is some
good national news in the ght
against childhood obesity gives
Nebraskans reason to redouble their
efforts.
The next time the CDC announces
declines in childhood obesity rates,
we hope to see Nebraska on the list.
The first win against childhood obesity

Big movers
By Ken Sweet
NEW YORK Stocks fell Friday,
closing out what was the worst week of
the year for the Dow Jones industrial
average.
The market was dragged lower by a
weak performance from retailers and
companies sensitive to higher interest
rates. Homebuilders and banking
stocks were among the best performers.
Stocks had a decent start to the week,
but investors were hit hard the last three
days. The Dow retreated 2.2 percent for
the week, its worst in 2013. The broad-
er Standard & Poors 500 index lost 2.1
percent for the week, its second-worst
performance of the year.
The possibility of a cutback in the
Federal Reserves massive bond-buying
program in September has roiled the
bond market, which has spilled over
into stocks. The yield on the bench-
mark U.S. 10-year Treasury note rose to
2.83 percent, its highest level since
July 2011. A week ago, the yield was
2.58 percent.
When yields are going up like this,
thats scary for most equity investors,
said Brian Reynolds, chief market
strategist at Rosenblatt Securities.
Rising bond yields have a direct
impact on the cost of borrowing for
everyone from home owners trying
to renance their mortgages to compa-
nies trying to sell debt - making them a
potential long-term drag on the econo-
my. The Federal Reserve bond-buying
programs were designed to keep the
cost of borrowing as low as possible.
On Friday, the S&P 500 lost 5.49
points, or 0.33 percent, to 1,655.83.
The Dow fell 30.72 points, or 0.2 per-
cent, to 15,081.47 and the Nasdaq com-
posite lost 3.34 points, or 0.1 percent,
to 3,602.78.
Shares of utilities and telecommuni-
cations companies, which typically
perform poorly in a higher interest-rate
environment, closed broadly lower.
New York-based utility Consolidated
Edison Inc. fell 75 cents, or 1.3 per-
cent, to $56.64 while Californias
PG&E was down 71 cents, or 1.6 per-
cent, to $42.64. Verizon
Communications Inc. and AT&T Inc.
fell 1.7 percent and 0.5 percent, respec-
tively.
Stocks such as utilities, pharmaceuti-
cals and telecommunications are often
purchased because they provide a high-
er-than-normal dividend. As Treasury
yields rise, it makes all dividend-pay-
ing stocks less attractive to investors
because Treasuries can provide a similar
return with signicantly less risk.
You try to focus on stocks that usual-
ly benet from higher interest rates --
banks are a good example, said John
Fox, who oversees $873 million in
assets as co-manager of the FAM Value
Fund.
The Dow has fallen 3.7 percent from
its all-time high of 15,658.36 two
weeks ago. Even so, the blue-chip
index is up 15 percent this year while
the S&P 500 has climbed 16 percent.
Keep it in perspective were down
modestly from what was an all-time
high, Fox said.
Retailers continued their multi-day
selloff. Nordstrom Inc. gave a bleak
sales outlook late Thursday that echoed
similar forecasts from Wal-Mart Stores
Inc. and Macys Inc. earlier this week.
The outlooks have raised worries that
U.S. shoppers might be pulling back
on spending.
Nordstroms stock fell $2.90, or 4.9
percent, to $56.43, making it the
biggest decliner in the S&P 500.
The retail industry is a closely-
watched part of the U.S. economy as
consumer spending makes up roughly
70 percent of economic activity. The
disappointing outlooks are worrisome
because they take into account the
back-to-school shopping season, typi-
cally the second-biggest shopping
period for U.S. retailers.
Its left us scratching our heads,
Fox said. It really forces you to ask the
question: is the consumer slowing
down?
Investors have also been concerned
about what will happen to the stock
market and the U.S. economy if
the Fed begins winding down its $85
billion-a-month bond-buying program
in September. Some investors think
that the Feds program has been a large
contributor to the stock markets record
run.
The big question is, will the Fed
eliminate the bond-buying program in
September, and, if so, how they will
they remove the bond buying, said
Frank Davis, director of sales and trad-
ing for LEK Securities.
Dow slips to worst week of 2013
By Christopher S. Rugaber
WASHINGTON U.S. developers broke
ground on homes at a faster pace in July. But
the rise was all due to apartment construc-
tion, which is typically volatile. By con-
trast, builders began work on fewer single-
family homes the bulk of the market
and sought fewer permits to build them.
Fridays report from the Commerce
Department suggests that home building is
maintaining its recovery but might be start-
ing to be restrained by higher mortgage
rates.
Builders began work on houses and apart-
ments at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of
896,000 in July, the department said. That
was up 6 percent from June, though below a
recent peak of more than 1 million in
March. Construction began on 26 percent
more apartments but declined 2.2 percent
for single-family houses.
The dip in single-family starts comes
after other measures of the housing market
have attened or declined. It may signal
that higher loan rates have begun to weigh
on housing, which has otherwise steadily
recovered since earlier last year.
Fourteen new hotels
planned near Disneyland
ANAHEIM Disneylands neighbor-
hood may be in for a hotel boom.
The Orange County Register says
developers are planning to build 14 new
hotels near the Anaheim theme park,
with the first opening as early as
December. That would add nearly 4,000
new rooms to the region a 19 percent
increase.
Officials say the industry is recovering
after the recession and developers are
again able to get loans.
Tourism is important to Anaheim and
neighboring Garden Grove, which
already have some 20,000 hotel rooms.
Hotel bed taxes make up the biggest
chunks of the budgets in both cities.

After spending ve springs and
summers playing Little League for
San Mateo American, Michael
Churich was looking for a new chal-
lenge.
This summer, the Burlingame res-
ident hooked up with Nor-Cal
Baseball, a travel-ball program
based in Livermore. Known more
for high school age teams, this year
Nor-Cal started an 12U squad.
When [my dad] rst told me
about Nor-Cal, I didnt know if I
would play or not, said Michael
Churich, who will be entering the
seventh grade at St. Matthews
Episcopal Day School in San
Mateo. I just wanted to go experi-
ence a tryout. But the coaches knew
what they were doing and the facili-
ties were nice, so I said, Lets sign
up.
Said Michaels father Ken: They
probably had a hundred kids try out
for the team. We went out there
on a whim. He made the team.
At the end of June, Michael
Churich and the 12U Nor-Cal
Baseball team went to
Cooperstown, N.Y. to participate in
one of the several week-long tour-
naments hosted there. Churich had a
breakout week in leading Nor-Cal to
a perfect 10-0 record 6-0 in pool
play and 4-0 in the bracket portion
of the tournament. He slammed
seven home runs in the process to
tie for the tournament high. He also
drove in 13 runs and batted .435 for
the week.
As a team, Nor-Cal clubbed a tour-
nament-leading 42 homers and
averaged 11.5 runs per game while
allowing less than three per con-
test.
It was a really fun experience,
said Churich, who played rst base
and batted cleanup. I knew the
fences were short, but I didnt have
super high expectations because
the week before my family went to
Hawaii. I was doing a lot of batting
practice and hoping for the best.
It didnt take long for Churich to
nd his groove as he homered in his
rst game against a team from the
Dominican Republic and he didnt
slow down for the rest of the week.
I expected to hit two or three
(homers) or something, but I never
thought I would go out there and hit
seven, Churich said.
Playing rst base and hitting in
the No. 4 spot, however, means he
is expected to be a power hitter and
drive in runs. He admitted he was bit
nervous when he rst joined the
team and it slotted him in that spot
but, after a while, he grew to enjoy
the spotlight.
Im not necessarily a home run
hitter. But I am (expected to be) a
power hitter hitting cleanup,
Churich said. When I rst started
the program, I did put pressure on
myself. But once I started hitting
better, I started to enjoy it (the pres-
sure of being the cleanup hitter).

Friday marked the rst day of fall sports
practice for high schools and you can expect
to see some signicant changes in the foot-
ball standings in the Peninsula Athletic
League this season.
The biggest changes occurred in the slot-
ting of teams in the Bay, Ocean and Lake
divisions. The Bay and Ocean swapped three
teams, while the Ocean and Lake saw four
teams switch divisions.
The biggest shakeup happened in the Bay
Division. Menlo School, Sequoia and South
City all moved up to the PALs most com-
petitive division, joining stalwarts Menlo-
Atherton, Sacred Heart Prep and Terra Nova.
Moving from the Bay to the Ocean are
Aragon, for the second time in three years,
along with Burlingame and Half Moon Bay.
Capuchino and San Mateo, which have
spent the last several seasons in the Lake
Division, move into the Ocean for 2013,
while Kings Academy and Jefferson move
down.
Sequoias promotion is the biggest move
considering how far the Cherokees have
come under the leadership of coach Rob
Poulos, who took over the program prior to
the 2009 season. The Cherokees have
advanced to the Bay Division since the
inception of the division in 1996. In 2008,
Sequoia went 1-9 overall and 1-4 in PAL
Plenty of changes in PAL
The annual Valpo Bowl,the rivalry game between Menlo School and Sacred Heart Prep,could
have a lot more riding on it this season as the two teams will battle for the Bay Division title
this year for the rst time since SHP entered the PAL.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Chiefs quarterback
Alex Smith struggled against his former
team, and backup San Francisco quarterback
B.J. Daniels threw a late touchdown pass to
give the 49ers a 15-13 victory over Kansas
City in a preseason game Friday night.
Phil Dawson hit all three of his eld-goal
attempts for the 49ers, two of them 55-
yarders, while the Chiefs Quintin Demps
returned a kickoff 104
yards for a touchdown.
Smith was just 7 of 16
for 62 yards while play-
ing the full rst half, but
he did help Kansas City
to two eld goals. The
49ers didnt go easy on
him, either: Defensive
tackle Tony Jerod-Eddie
was agged for deliver-
ing a helmet-to-helmet
hit on Smith in the sec-
ond quarter.
Colin Kaepernick, who
took over Smiths start-
ing job in San Francisco
last season, only played
the rst offensive series.
He threw a pair of passes
with one completion for
minus-3 yards.
The Chiefs played
without Pro Bowl running back Jamaal
Charles, who strained his right foot when he
stepped on a teammate in practice Monday.
Coach Andy Reid said Charles would play if
he could, but the team ultimately played it
safe.
Knile Davis, one of the Chiefs third-
round draft picks, started in Charles place.

NEWORLEANS Drew Brees looks as if
he has found his rhythm early in the presea-
son.
Brees passed for 202 yards and a touch-
down while leading ve scoring drives, and
the Saints survived a sloppy second half for
a 28-20 preseason victory over the Oakland
Raiders on Friday night.
Brees scoring strike was a 16-yarder to
rookie Kenny Stills, who made the most of
his second straight game playing with the
rst-team offense.
Brees completed 78 percent of his passes
(14 of 18), including a 56-yarder to Nick
Toon, setting up Mark Ingams 2-yard TD
run.
New Orleans new defense under coordina-
tor Rob Ryan thrived, sacking Matt Flynn
ve times in the rst half.
The Saints (2-0) led 23-0 before the
Raiders (1-1) scored on Flynns lone TD
pass, an 18-yarder to Denarius Moore, late
in the rst half. Flynn was 12 of 16 for 124
yards.
The Saints nished with seven sacks. One
by linebacker Ramon Humber, who was
credited with nine tackles, including a
fourth-down stop. The Saints also regis-
tered a safety in the fourth quarter when line-
backer Will Herring and numerous team-
mates swarmed running back Jamize
Olawale.

Grant Holman throws no-hitter for Chula Vista
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. Grant Holman threw a
no-hitter to lead Chula Vista, Calif., past Grosse Pointe,
Mich., 3-0 on Friday in the Little League World Series.
The 6-foot-4, 166-pound Holman struck out 13 in seven
innings, throwing the rst extra-inning no-hitter in the
LLWS since 1979
Patrick Archer had a two-run single in the top of the sev-
enth for the California team.
Grosse Pointes Chad Lorkowski, who is 6-3 and 219
pounds, threw one-hit ball through six innings and had 12
strikeouts, but exhausted his 85-pitch allotment.
Chula Vista broke through against Grosse Pointe reliever
Antonio Moceri in the seventh, with Micah Pietila-Wiggs
driving in the third run with the fourth hit of the inning.
Cal picks freshman Goff to start at quarterback
BERKELEY Freshman quarterback Jared Goff was
picked to start for California by new coach Sonny Dykes.
Goff has been competing since the spring with redshirt
freshman Zach Kline and junior Austin Hinder.
We have had a ercely-contested competition for our
starting quarterback position, Dykes said in a statement.
Its important to name a starter and give them the reps they
need to be prepared to play. We feel that right now Jared Goff
gives us the best chance to be successful as a team, but we are
very fortunate to have three outstanding quarterbacks we feel
we can be successful with.
Goff was a top recruit out of Marin Catholic High School
in Novato, Calif. He graduated high school early and was
able to participate in spring practice for Cal.
Im honored to get the chance to start for Cal and am
looking forward to going out and helping the team win,
Goff said. Im super excited and ready to get rolling. My
competitors are great quarterbacks as well. It was a tremen-
dous competition that has helped all of us become better
quarterbacks.

Northwestern on Aug. 31.
Seattle investor funds
drive to defeat Kings arena
SACRAMENTO Seattle billionaire Chris Hansen, who
tried to move the Kings NBAfranchise from Sacramento, is
behind a secretive effort to thwart the citys efforts to build
a new downtown arena for the professional basketball team,
Californias campaign watchdog disclosed Friday after an
investigation.
The announcement is an embarrassment for Hansen, who
lost his bid after NBA owners voted to keep the team in
Californias capital city, and could undermine support for
the local ballot measure Hansen funded that is designed to
put to a citywide vote the councils planned $258 million
subsidy for a downtown arena.
I made a mistake I regret, Hansen said in a written state-
ment. While Im sure everyone can appreciate how easy it
is to get caught up in the heat of battle, with the benet of
hindsight, this is clearly a decision I regret.
Hansen had said he would end his effort to buy the Kings
for $625 million after the NBAblocked the sale, and a group
of investors led by technology executive Vivek Ranadive
bought the team a day later for $535 million.

The latest controversy in the Americas Cup took an inter-
esting turn when the measurement committee admitted that
one of the three prototype boats owned by defending cham-
pion Oracle Team USA was not illegally modied during
warm-up regattas last year.
In a statement released Friday, the measurement commit-
tee cited miscommunication and-or a misunderstanding
on its part in dealing with a boatbuilder who was preparing
the 45-foot catamarans for the Red Bull Youth Americas
Cup in early September.
It previously had been announced that three Oracle boats
had been modied without the permission of the measure-
ment committee.
Oracle Team USAhas been branded as cheaters by the two
remaining challengers, Emirates Team New Zealand and
Italys Luna Rossa, who will meet in the Louis Vuitton Cup
nal starting Saturday on San Francisco Bay. The winner of
that best-of-13 series advances to face Oracle Team USA i n
the 34th Americas Cup starting Sept. 7.
Its not known whether the admission by the measure-
ment committee will sway an international jurys investi-
gation into the illegal modication of the boats by adding
about ve pounds of ballast. The 45-footers were proto-
types of the high-performance, 72-foot catamarans that are
being used in this summers competition.
The jury could decide to punish individual employees or
the syndicate itself. If the jury punishes the team, the sanc-
tion could be a ne, forfeiture of races in the best-of-17
Americas Cup match or disqualication.
It doesnt change the fact that we had some lead in the
wrong place in the other boats and made some mistakes,
Russell Coutts, the CEO of Oracle Team USA, told The
Associated Press. But it does help show that it wasnt a
team-wide issue and this helps us to move forward, as well.
Ive always said management and the skippers were not
involved.
Oracle Team USA is owned by software billionaire Larry
Ellison, the CEO of Oracle Corp.
Coincidentally, the boat that was cleared was Oracle
Coutts 5, which was skippered by Coutts in some of the
regattas in question. The boats that were illegally modied
were ones sailed by Jimmy Spithill, Team Oracle USAs
skipper, and Ben Ainslie, an Olympic star whos sailing
with Oracle this summer in hopes of launching a British
challenge for the 35th Americas Cup.
Last week, Oracle said it was forfeiting its two season
championships in the ACWS as well as individual regatta
championships.
Coutts said the team plans to apply for reinstatement of
the results obtained by Oracle Coutts 5. He said that boat
was used by a Red Bull Youth Americas Cup team in the
regatta at Naples, Italy, last spring, and that that team had
to forfeit its results, as well.

in Americas Cup scandal
MIAMI Hunter Pence hit two doubles, a triple and
drove in ve runs to lead the San Francisco Giants to a 14-
10 victory over the Miami Marlins on Friday night.
Hector Sanchez hit a three-run homer, Pablo Sandoval had
four hits and three RBIs, and Brandon Belt had four hits and
scored four runs for the Giants, who set season highs for
runs and hits (19).
Justin Ruggiano homered twice and
drove in four runs for Miami. Christian
Yelich and Placido Polanco each had
three hits.
San Franciscos offense broke loose
after averaging 2.73 runs per game since
the All-Star break, the second-fewest in
the majors.
The Marlins scored their second-most
runs since June 2.
Both starting pitchers struggled.
Chad Gaudin allowed eight runs and 11 hits in four
innings for the Giants, while Marlins right-hander Nathan
Eovaldi (2-3) gave up 11 runs nine earned in three
innings.
Sandy Rosario (3-0) pitched two scoreless innings for the
win.
The Giants jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the rst keyed by a
two-run double from Sandoval.
Pence, who drove in a run in the rst on a grounder, deliv-
ered a two-run double in the second and Sandoval followed
with an RBI single to stretch the lead to 7-0.
Miami cut the decit to 7-4 in the third on a two-run dou-
ble by Logan Morrison and RBI singles by Donovan
Solano and Polanco.
Polanco left in the eighth when he was hit in the back of
the head by a pitch from Santiago Casilla.
Pence came through again in the fourth with an RBI dou-
ble followed by a three-run homer by Sanchez to extend the
lead to 11-4, ending Eovaldis night. Gregor Blanco added
an RBI single later in the inning.
Despite the large decit, the Marlins fought back again
beginning with a solo homer and a two-run double by
Ruggiano, who came off the bench in a double switch, to
pull to 12-7. Yelich and Solano followed with RBI singles
in the fth to make it 12-9.
Through ve innings, the teams combined for 21 runs and
29 hits as each team batted around twice.
Belt and Pence hit back-to-back RBI triples in the sev-
enth to push the lead to 14-9.
Ruggiano hit his second home run of the game in the bot-
tom of the ninth.
NOTES: Ruggiano homered for the rst time at Marlins
Park after hitting 12 away from Miami. ... Belt extended his
hitting streak to 11 games with a single in the rst. ...
Miami reliever Arquimedes Caminero made his major league
debut in the eighth. ... San Franciscos previous high in
runs this season was 10 (done seven times) and hits was 17
(three times). ... The Giants will send RHP Matt Cain (7-8,
4.44 ERA) to the mound on Saturday to face Marlins RHP
Henderson Alvarez (2-1, 3.18).

OAKLAND Yoenis Cespedes hit a two-run homer in the
rst, Eric Sogard put Oakland ahead on a seventh-inning double
and the Athletics beat the Cleveland Indians 3-2 on Friday
night.
Former As fan favorite Nick Swisher tied the game at 2 in the
seventh with an RBI single, and winner Sean Doolittle (4-4)
walked the bases loaded before getting out of it with only the
one run. Swisher, booed at every chance, grounded out with run-
ners on rst and second to end the eighth.
Grant Balfour pitched the ninth for his 31st save in 32
chances, allowing a one-out walk to Carlos Santana and
Michael Brantleys single before Asdrubal Cabrera lined into a
game-ending double play as the As held on to win for the rst
time in ve tries this year against the Indians.
Cleveland All-Star Justin Masterson (13-9) lost consecutive
decisions for just the second time this season. He allowed three
runs on seven hits in 7 2-3 innings after coming off his short-
est outing of the year, 4 1-3 innings in which he allowed ve
runs and seven hits against the Angels.
The lefty is still looking for his rst victory in the Oakland
Coliseum. He dropped to 0-5 with a 7.71 ERA in six appear-
ances and ve starts.
As starter A.J. Grifn escaped a bases-loaded jam in the fth
but his pitch count climbed in a hurry and he was done after ve
innings. The right-handers winless stretch reached three starts
since getting victories in four of his previous ve outings.
The As held on in their home ballpark after being swept in a
four-game series in Cleveland from May 6-9, being outscored
21-8. In the third game of the series, Adam Rosales was denied
a ninth-inning home run and given a double by the umpires in a
4-3 As loss even after going to replay. Major League
Baseball the next day said the umpires made an improper call,
but executive vice president Joe Torre said the judgment deci-
sion is nal.
Grifn and Masterson matched up in that one, too.
On Friday, the Indians got on the board in the third on Carlos
Santanas single to right. Gold Glove right elder Josh Reddick
wildly overthrew third baseman Josh Donaldson trying to get
Swisher. The ball hit the facing of the Oakland dugout and
bounced back onto the eld, where Donaldson grabbed it and
threw home not knowing the play was dead and Swisher would
score. Meanwhile, Grifn went sliding into the dirt on his knees
apparently thinking he could stop the ball from reaching the
dugout.
Reddick made a nice reaching catch at the warning track on a
hard hit ball by Michael Bourn in the fth to rob him of an
extra-base hit, then Cespedes chased down a drive by Brantley
for the third out of the inning as the Indians left the bases
loaded.
Oakland holds off Indians
By Rachel Cohen
STAMFORD, Conn. British sports announcer Arlo
White remembers visiting relatives in Chicago more than
two decades ago and ipping through a seemingly endless
array of television channels.
I was somewhere in the 300s, I think, on cable TV, and
suddenly I saw a 17-year-old Ryan Giggs thrashing in a vol-
ley from Manchester United against West Ham United, he
said this week. And I was overjoyed that I managed to nd
this little snippet of English football action.
Starting Saturday, White will call NBCs $250 million
experiment that tests how many Americans now nd joy in
a glimpse of Premier League soccer and how many more
will latch on with the games no longer buried in the hinter-
lands of the channel lineup.
Its so ironic that 22 years later theres every chance that
Ill be commenting on Manchester United and a team con-
taining a 39-year-old Ryan Giggs and providing that as part
of this unprecedented amount of coverage to the American
market, White, the networks lead play-by-play voice,
said on a conference call. Is it a tipping point? Well have
to wait and see.
I just know that there is a huge amount of following of
the game in the United States. And even if youre the fth or
sixth or seventh most popular sport in a country of 350
million people, youre still very viable.
As part of its three-year contract, NBC Sports Group will
broadcast all 380 games from the Premier League this sea-
son in some form more than whats even available in the
United Kingdom. The main U.S. outlet for the EPLwill shift
from Fox Soccer to NBC Sports Network, doubling the
number of homes in which those games are available.
Under the EPLs previous three-year deal with Fox, which
was worth about $80 million, some matches were subli-
censed to ESPN.
Games on ESPN and ESPN2 last season averaged 208,000
households. For NBC Sports Network which was averag-
ing 273,000 homes in prime time for this year through late
July, according to Nielsen its a chance to add live sports
on weekend mornings and weekday afternoons.
But the companys investment is as much a bet on how
viewership can grow in a fertile environment as on the
sports prior popularity. That means a big advertising and
marketing push including the spot starring former
Saturday Night Live star Jason Sudeikis, spoong the
American football-European football divide, that has more
than 4 million YouTube views.
The idea is that airing more games and making them eas-
ier to nd will mine a previously untapped audience whose
interest is already piqued.
Theres just so much conversation, said Jon Miller, the
president of programming for NBC Sports. It almost is to
the point where they say, Ive got to check this out. Ive
got to nd out what the big deal is here.
Beyond the games on NBC, NBCSN and the companys
other networks, matches will be streamed online and tele-
vised in the Premier League Extra Time package. That serv-
ice allows many cable and satellite subscribers who receive
NBCSN to watch every game for free.
NBC could have charged for the package, which is com-
mon for other sports. But in the pursuit of new viewers, the
wide variety of choices is valuable.
NBC likes the EPLfor the afuent, educated demographics
of the fan base, and those people are juggling multiple
devices as they watch sports.
In the past, we would put it out there and say, You have
to watch what we put on the air, Miller said. Its no
longer that way. We are at the mercy of the viewer.
And for customers who are considering going without
cable or satellite service, the package may be enticement to
subscribe.
That for us was a very important part of our model and
part of our equation, Miller said. So did we leave money
on the table? It remains to be seen.
NBC will emphasize the erceness of the rivalries in
English soccer, a focus that proved popular during the
recent lockout-shortened NHL season.
The top ight of English soccer seems to have romanti-
cism about it, said White, who previously called Major
League Soccer games. Its where football was invented. Its
where the concepts of having league competitive soccer
was introduced in the 1880s. And I think clubs like
Manchester United, like Liverpool, like Arsenal and more
recently perhaps Manchester City and Chelsea, they res-
onate throughout the world.

Davis ran for 37 yards and caught three pass-
es for 31 yards.
Colt McCoy and Scott Tolzien alternated
series for the 49ers once Kaepernick left,
but neither distinguished himself in the race
for the No. 2 quarterback job. McCoy threw
for 35 yards but also tossed an interception,
while Tolzien threw for only 30 yards.
The main story line, though, was Smith
facing his former team.
After leading San Francisco to the play-
offs and getting off to a good start last year,
he lost the top job when he got hurt. 49ers
coach Jim Harbaugh stuck with Kaepernick
once Smith was healthy enough to return,
and then traded the former No. 1 pick to the
Chiefs this past offseason.
Smith has mostly taken the high road
when asked about how things went down.
He even spent some time chatting amicably
with Harbaugh on the eld before kickoff.
Demps, whos trying to solidify a job
returning kicks for Kansas City, sent the
first shock through a meager crowd at
Arrowhead Stadium in the rst quarter. He
elded a kickoff after the rst of Dawsons
eld goals, found a crease and out-ran the
coverage for a touchdown.
The Chiefs havent had a kickoff return for
a score in a regular-season game November
2009, when Charles brought one back
against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The 49ers special teams also shined in
the third quarter, when backup linebacker
Parys Haralson blocked a punt by Dustin
Colquitt. Haralson recovered the ball to set
up the second of Dawsons 55-yard eld
goals both of them had plenty of distance
to spare.
Those were the 49ers only points until
Daniels hit Chuck Jacobs from 14 yards out
with 2:02 left in the game. They failed to
convert the extra point, but the defense
made the lead stand up.
Not es: Chiefs TE Travis Kelce (bruised
knee) and CB Dunta Robinson (shoulder)
left the game. ... RTEric Fisher, the Chiefs
No. 1 overall pick, missed a few plays while
getting his hand examined. ... Four of the
49ers top seven draft picks didnt play due
to injuries: DE Tank Carradine (knee), TE
Vance McDonald (leg), RB Marcus
Lattimore (knee) and DE Quinton Dial (toe).
... 49ers LT Joe Staley was in uniform after
missing four recent practices with an undis-
closed injury. He had returned to practice
Wednesday. ... Haralson also had a sack.

Brady nearly perfect in win over Bucs
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Tom Brady put
to rest worries about his knee. His nearly
perfect arm was never a concern.
Two days after spraining his left knee, the
New England star completed his rst 11
passes before missing his last one and threw
his rst touchdown pass to new top wide
receiver Danny Amendola. Brady played the
rst two series, then rested as the Patriots
went on to a 25-21 exhibition victory over
the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Friday night.
Bucs quarterback Josh Freeman worked
two possessions and had a much rougher
time against the team theyll face in the
third game of the regular season. He was
sacked three times and completed only two
of three passes for 8 yards before rookie
Mike Glennon took over.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas An uncanny
ability to escape trouble helped make Johnny
Manziel a Heisman Trophy winner.
Whether it was an arrest that could have
gotten him booted from Texas A&M before he
even played a game or a swarming SEC
defense trying to bury him in the backeld,
Johnny Football was tough to take down.
Now another off-the-eld problem is a
much bigger threat to the quarterbacks future.
After a whirlwind season where he came from
obscurity to become the biggest star in col-
lege football and the rst freshman to win the
Heisman, the question is: Will there be a fol-
low-up?
Allegations that he received payment for
autographs could threaten his eligibility
along with A&Ms championship hopes, and
have some in College Station fed up with his
antics.
Most in this town built around the universi-
ty and its football program are nervously
waiting for the results of an NCAAinvestiga-
tion that ESPN has reported is about whether
Manziel was paid for signing hundreds of
autographs for memorabilia brokers during
the offseason.
Coach Kevin Sumlin tried not to make too
much out of what could be a season-altering
situation. He pointed out that last year most
expected the Aggies to struggle in their rst
year in the Southeastern Conference.
We had a cloud over our heads last season,
no one thought we could win any games, he
said. Every year youve got a challenge.
Regardless of the outcome of the investiga-
tion, it has already distracted from what was
expected to be a big year for the Aggies.
Theyre coming off an 11-2 record, high-
lighted by Manziel leading Texas A&M to an
upset win at No. 1 Alabama. The rematch in
College Station is Sept. 14.
Manziels lawyer has
said he believes Manziel
will play in Texas A&Ms
season opener against
Rice on Aug. 31 even if
the investigation is ongo-
ing. Ultimately, though,
it could be up to Texas
A&M to decide whether
they want to play a player
who could later be ruled
ineligible.
Sumlin wouldnt speculate on whether
Manziel will play in the opener and said that
a lot of people would be involved in that deci-
sion.
That question is certainly the hottest topic
in College Station and perhaps in all of col-
lege football. The web site TexAgs.com, a
site that caters to die-hard Aggie fans, has a
poll on its home page asking whether
Manziel will play in Week 1. Sixty-eight per-
cent of the 4,000 people who voted think he
will, but there are also plenty of Aggie fans
who believe he shouldnt.
They believe that A&M should keep him
out to avoid facing possible sanctions for the
program down the road.
Holding this program and the schools
reputation hostage to the immaturity and
incredibly bad judgment of young Johnny is
just stupid, a fan posted on a TexAgs.com
forum about the issue. Whether he took
money or not, he put A&M in a really bad sit-
uation when it had the world by the tail.
Sumlin has been cagey during camp con-
cerning the quarterback situation. But he did
say that the Aggies have to have a contin-
gency plan for what happens at quarterback.
He also said he alternates giving different
quarterbacks more snaps each day at practice.
Manziel hasnt spoken to the reporters
since SEC media days, but he has addressed
his past mistakes, including his arrest last
year, previously. Manziel was arrested last
summer after a bar ght near campus and
charged with disorderly conduct, possession
of the fake ID and failure to identify himself
to police. It was an incident that put him in
danger of being suspended from school and
left him having to earn the starting job in fall
camp.
Manziel admitted this June that he failed to
identify himself to police following the alter-
cation. As part of a plea deal, other charges
against the 20-year-old, including disorderly
conduct, were dismissed, and it looked like
Manziels trouble was behind him.
A truly critical error in judgment on my
part, its something that I look back on as
one of the biggest mistakes of my life,
Manziel said last year of the arrest. From
there, Ive had to make a lot of changes in my
life. Im really more aware of my surround-
ings and what goes on in my life. Ive had to
surround myself with a great group of people.
I have a great family, a great group of coach-
es here that really care about my well-being
and me moving forward as a person.
It had already been an eventful offseason,
lled with road trips to Las Vegas, celebrity
mingling with LeBron James and rapper
Drake, and early exits from the Manning
Passing Academy and a University of Texas
frat party. His tweets made news.
His latest trouble has many wondering if he
has moved forward. But Sumlin and his team-
mates are standing behind Manziel, with the
coach saying that the recent allegations
come with the territory of a high-prole
player.

It always seems to happen. We have been planning the family vacation for 6 months and
trying to keep the calendar clear for that one week in August to get away from it all. Of
course, the right homes seem to come on the market in perfect sync with that same week.
Our usual vacation place is Pinecrest Lake in the Sierra Nevada's off Highway 108. It
never had Wi-Fi or even a good cell signal, which made it the perfect vacation get away. The
only source for communication was
a pay phone outside the office.
Well, wouldn't you know it, this
year they have Wi-Fi and the cell
signal was stronger although spotty.
Funny thing is that the Wi-Fi and
cell signal were about a mile apart.
I was driving back in forth in my car
depending on what I needed. The
good news is that with the help of
my able assistant back at the office, I
was able to sell 3 homes while I was
away. The bad news is that when
youre trying to catch fish on the
lake at 7:00am, a loud cell phone
ring is not appreciated. Maybe next
time I'll accidentally drop my phone
in the water!

most of the rst half. His second and third
series ended with Ingrams and Stills TDs.
Garrett Hartley added eld goals of 53, 31
and 30 yards. The Saints never punted in the
rst half.
Stills, drafted in the fth round this year,
and Toon, a 2012 fourth-rounder who is
essentially a rookie after spending last sea-
son on injured reserve, could be thrust into
regular roles this season. Against the
Raiders, at least, they appeared up to the
task.
Stills caught four passes for 64 yards,
making challenging grabs along the side-
line twice, once on his TD.
Flynn was back in the stadium where he
won a national title with LSU in January
2008. It also was a homecoming of sorts for
Raiders coach Dennis Allen, a former Saints
defensive assistant under Payton for ve
years. It was a good thing for them the
stakes were low in their return to the
Superdome.
With Oaklands line struggling to pick up
Saints blitzes, Flynn was under constant
pressure. During a stretch of 15 plays in the
rst half, the Raiders netted 1 yard.
Flynns lone scoring drive covered 82
yards in 11 plays, ending with 18-yard tim-
ing pass to Denarius Moore near the back of
the end zone.
Raiders second-string quarterback Terrelle
Pryor completed one of ve passes for 9
yards. He also rushed four times for 15
yards.
What helped the Raiders make a game of it
was poor ball security by New Orleans.
Second-year running back Travaris Cadet
fumbled twice, resulting in one turnover.
Oaklands second touchdown came when
defensive end Ryan Robinson recovered
Seneca Wallaces fumble, which was forced
by David Bass on the 1.
Eddy Carmonas 46-yard eld goal, which
pulled Oakland to 23-17 at the end of the
third quarter, was set up by Omar Gaithers
interception of Seneca Wallaces tipped
pass.
Wallace, competing with Luke McCown
to back up Brees, had a rough night. His
drives ended with three turnovers and two
punts. He was three of six passing for 32
yards.

league play. Since Poulos arrived for the 2009
season, the Cherokees have compiled an over-
all record of 31-13 overall and 10-9 in PAL
play, and made an appearance in the 2010
Central Coast Section Division II champi-
onship game.
Be careful what we wish for. When I took
over, [reaching the Bay Division] was one of
the goals, Poulos said. Thats where you want
to be. You want to be in the top division. We
want to be moving up. I dont know if we can
stay up. We could get knocked right back
down.
Menlo and South City return to the Bay
Division for the rst time since 2008. Menlo
has one of the most prolic offenses in the
PAL, while the South City defense has been one
of the nastiest units for several years. Both will
be tested against the best the PALhas to offer.
We wanted to be in the Bay. We were the rst
team to say we wanted to go up, said South
City coach Frank Moro, whose team captured
the Ocean Division crown in 2012 with a per-
fect 5-0 record.
Despite taking a perceived step up in compe-
tition, Moro said he doesnt expect much differ-
ence from last season as three teams from the
Ocean moved up to the Bay.
Really, the only two teams we havent
played are Terra Nova and Sacred Heart Prep,
Moro said. The Ocean was tough the last cou-
ple of years.
Moro knows his defense will be tested a bit
more as the Warriors will face the spread attacks
of Menlo School, Sequoia and Terra Nova. But
the Warriors beat two of those squads Menlo
and Sequoia last year.
Despite the challenges, Moro vows teams
will know they were in a battle when they face
South City.
Were going to be a physical defense and
were going to come after you, Moro said.
Were going to make it a football game.
While Aragon is taking a step down for the
second time in three years, Burlingame nds
itself out of the Bay Division for the rst time
since 2009.
On paper, we deserved to go down (to the
Ocean), Aragon coach Steve Sell told the Daily
Journal in November.
Burlingame coach John Philipopoulos feels
the same way as Sell.
With the amount of kids we lost to gradua-
tion and with the inexperience we have up front,
we felt it was an appropriate move for our pro-
gram, Philipopoulos said. In the past, we
wanted to play up in the Bay Division and we
wanted that. I think this year I felt it would be
the best move for us competitively.
Its not that we cant compete at that level,
its just the price we pay to play at that level Im
questioning.
San Mateo nds itself out of the Lake
Division for the rst time since 2010, when the
Bearcats went 0-5 in Ocean Division play and 2-
8 overall. Last season, the Bearcats nished in
second place behind Lake champion
Capuchino, which will join San Mateo in the
Ocean this season.
The biggest difference between the Bay and
Ocean other than the physicalness of the
divisions is the allotment of CCS berths. A
fourth-place nish in the Bay gets a team into
the playoffs, while only the Ocean Division
champion is guaranteed a spot in CCS.
Even as an Ocean Division coach, I believe
that is the correct distribution of the (CCS)
berths, Philipopoulos said. The bottom line
is the Bay Division is a tougher league. Its
more taxing in every way. The Bay should have
more berths.
The PAL football divisions will look a lot
different than they have the last couple of
years:

MOSCOW Allyson Felix ew out of the
blocks, same as usual. She tried to settle
into her rhythm around the turn, as she
always has.
Then everything went horribly wrong for
the American sprinter. She suddenly
screamed and began hopping before falling
to the track with a torn hamstring.
There went her world championships.
There possibly went her season, too.
As Jamaicas Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce
won the 200-meter race Friday night, Felix,
the Olympic champion in the event, was at
the far end of the stadium being tended to by
medical personnel.
And as Fraser-Pryce dropped to the track in
celebration, Felix was being carried off by
her brother, Wes. Felix had big plans, too,
possibly winning three medals one in her
signature event, the 200, along with maybe
two more in the 4x100 and 4x400 relays.
Im extremely devastated, Felix said in a
statement. I was really hoping to go out
there and put together a great race.
It was setting up to be an epic showdown.
Fraser-Pryce got off to a fast start, but Felix
is known for her nishes.
She never got a chance to kick it into
gear.
Suddenly, she was out of the race. From
there, it was all Fraser-Pryce as she won in
22.17 seconds. Murielle Ahoure of Ivory
Coast was second, a fraction of a second
ahead of Nigerias Blessing Okagbare, a sil-
ver medalist in the long jump.
I heard when she screamed out, but I was
really focused on what I wanted, Fraser-
Pryce said. I decided I was running that cor-
ner and I didnt care who you were, if you
were Usain Bolt behind me, I couldnt care
less, I was running like my life depended on
it.
The long-term status of Felix remains
murky.
It is a serious injury, but I dont know
exactly to what extent, she said. I wish all
of my teammates the best for the rest of the
meet.
Felixs fall was one of several did-that-
just-happen moments for the Americans.
Earlier, shot putter Ryan Whiting lost out
on gold when an ofcial ruling was reversed
during the event.

riculum, Laurence said. I had fun,
exciting and simulating challenges.
He has been impressed by the dis-
tricts teachers and administrators.
Its exciting to see teachers who
want to get better at their craft,
Laurence said. Weve been trying to
get on the cutting edge by bringing
technology to teachers and setting up
support structures.
Professional development programs
have included the Digital Bridge
Learning Team Institute, which helps
teachers get up to speed on the latest
technology.
He said the district is well-posi-
tioned to move forward since it has
now bounced back from the nancial
crisis of 2008.
Weve come a long way in the last
four years, Laurence said. Our aca-
demic performance has gone up, disci-
pline numbers are down, and more and
more kids are becoming college eligi-
ble. Its been a lot of hard work.
Laurence said as an organization, the
district was at a point in which it need-
ed to get back to the basics.
With leadership from the [school]
board, down to the folks who keep our
campuses clean, people take a lot of
pride in our schools.
What challenges are to come for the
district?
Were going to be growing by
4,000-6,000 students, so that will
present financial issues, he said.
Well need the resources to support
them.
Laurence is also playing a huge part
in nding a new location for the alter-
native school Peninsula High School.
The district is currently considering a
Burlingame site at 1240 Bayshore
Highway. His deadline for submitting
his recommendations to the Board of
Trustees on the relocation is early
October.
Prior to his time in San Mateo, he
acted as the principal at both Palo Alto
and Gunn high schools. He originally
came to the Palo Alto Unied School
District as a social studies teacher and
also worked as assistant superintend-
ent for administrative services.

last year.
The rate was 10.6 percent in July
2012.
Californias rate continues to exceed
the nation as a whole. The U.S. unem-
ployment rate dropped slightly to 7.4
percent for July.
Some 1.6 million Californians
remained unemployed in July. That is
up 29,000 over June, but down by
328,000 compared with July of last
year.
The state added more than 38,000
nonfarm payroll jobs in July despite
the increase in the rate.
Michael Bernick, a former director
of the department who is now a fellow
at the Milken Institute economic think
tank, called the job gains impres-
sive and noted in an email that they
among the highest monthly increases
since the economic recovery began in
February 2010. He also downplayed
the signicance of the uptick in the
monthly jobless rate.
Callori said it is the largest payroll
job increase since October 2012 and
marks the 25th consecutive months of
payroll job growth.
Job gains were led by the profes-
sional and business services sector,
which added 15,000 jobs last month.
Thats a good sign as well, because
those are the higher paying jobs,
Callori said.
Other industries adding jobs were
manufacturing; trade, transportation
and utilities; information; educational
and health services; leisure and hospi-
tality; and other services.
Together, the seven sectors added
nearly 50,000 jobs.
The increases were offset by a loss of
more than 7,000 construction jobs.
Mining and logging and government
employment also dropped in July, for a
total of more than 11,000 jobs lost.
The jobless rate dropped below 9
percent this spring for the rst time in
ve years, when it fell to 8.6 percent
in May.
Assemblywoman Diane Harkey, a
Republican from Dana Point who
expects to run for the state Board of
Equalization next year, added a note of
caution.
Not only did the unemployment rate
increase, but state tax revenues fell
$266 million below the state
Department of Finances forecast for
July, the rst month of the scal year.
Democrats who control the state
Legislature have been lobbying to
increase spending on social pro-
grams, but Harkey supported the con-
servative approach adopted by
Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown.
She said consumers and business
owners may be reacting to temporary
income and sales tax increases sought
by Brown and approved by voters last
year, and to uncertainty over the
looming potential costs of the federal
Affordable Care Act.
Whenever you make huge changes,
that can affect the bottom line, said
Harkey, vice chairwoman of the
Assembly Appropriations
Committee. Youre going to cut back
on employing people and do with
what you have. I think all of these
things are starting to hit home.

Father says rescued teen
taking things day at a time
By Elliot Spagat and Julie Watson
LAKESIDE The father of a 16-year-old girl said she is
taking things one day at a time after FBI agents killed a
longtime family friend suspected of tor-
turing and killing her mother and brother
and escaping with her to the Idaho wilder-
ness.
Right now, shes with her family and,
of course, with some friends, and shes
just happy to be here, Brett Anderson
told reporters outside a restaurant where
his daughter Hannah got a warm welcome
home reception on Thursday, ve days
after her ordeal ended.
She was mobbed by reporters as she
entered and left the eatery that hosted an all-day fundraiser.
News crews were told to wait outside while Hannah and her
father stayed for hours. She did not make a statement.
I dont know what I want to say. I just want to give her a
hug, said Alyssa Haugum, a classmate of Hannahs in
Lakeside, an east San Diego suburb of 54,000 people.
Fireghters found the body of Christina Anderson, 44,
near a crowbar and what appeared to be blood next to her
head. James Lee DiMaggio is believed to have shot and
killed their family dog, found under a sleeping bag in the
garage with blood close to its head.
Investigators found 8-year-old Ethans body as they sifted
through rubble.
DiMaggio tortured and killed the mother and son, San
Diego County Sheriffs Detective Darren Perata wrote, offer-
ing no elaboration, in warrants released Wednesday.

The Butler
is a story we
needto hear
By Jocelyn Noveck
You hear nothing. You see nothing. You only
serve. Such are the instructions Cecil Gaines
receives as he embarks on his daunting new job at
the Eisenhower White House in Lee Daniels The
Butler.
But of course Gaines, played by Forest Whitaker in
a moving, grounded performance that anchors the
lm and blunts its riskier excesses, hears and sees
everything.
And that means that over more than three decades
on the job, he has a Forrest Gump-like view not only
of the White House under seven presidents, but of the
long arc of the civil rights struggle in 20th-century
America.
Much has been said about this movies potential
future as an Oscar powerhouse. The speculation is
natural especially given its star-studded cast
but it takes away from the more important discussion
of its simpler virtues, as an absorbing lm that has
the potential to teach a new generation (and remind
an older one) about these crucial events.
The story is inspired by a Washington Post prole
of Eugene Allen, a White House butler from 1952 to
1986. Some anecdotes remain, but much is different.
Most importantly, Daniels and screenwriter Danny
Strong create a father-son dynamic between Gaines
and a rebellious older son, Louis (a terric David
Oyelowo) that serves as a backdrop against which
the civil rights struggle can play out through the
eyes of black characters, not white ones, for a
refreshing change.
This is done most strikingly in a key montage in
which Cecil and his fellow White House workers set
up an elegant state dinner, china and crystal and all,
while down South, Louis is protesting at a segregat-
ed lunch counter, leading to a harrowing confronta-
tion.
But the story begins in 1926, with the death of
Cecils own father at the hands of the barbaric son of
a landowner on a Georgia cotton farm. The elderly

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Classical music met rock n roll in 1965
when a string quartet came to the Abbey
Road studios to join Paul McCartney and his
acoustic guitar for a little ditty called
Yesterday. For the rest of the Beatles
recording career, Londons best classical
session musicians were regular participants
in the bands songs.
On Saturday at the Fox Theatre in
Redwood City, that collaboration was cele-
brated and re-created when the Redwood
Symphony, our local community orchestra,
joined the White Album Ensemble, a Santa
Cruz-based Beatles tribute group specializ-
ing in performing live the later songs that
the Beatles never performed live them-
selves, in Yesterday and a full two dozen
of its successors Beatles songs all
including orchestral instruments.
The collaboration worked, because the
White Album Ensemble takes a classical-
oriented approach to playing Beatles cov-
ers as opposed to a jazz-oriented
approach, in which these things matter
less. In their aesthetic, what you sound like
is less important than reproducing the
rhythm and timing of the original. Aside
from being a little rhythmically free in a
few of their vocal interpretations, the
White Album Ensemble has the rhythm and
timing of the Beatles absolutely nailed
down and countersunk. After Redwood
Symphony conductor Eric Kujawsky would
lean over to coordinate opening beats with
White Album drummer Trey Sabatelli, seated
in front of him, everything would happen
exactly when it was supposed to.
You can thank Barry Phillips of the White
Album Ensemble for so accurately tran-
scribing the Beatles records into written
music that orchestral musicians could play,
and the Redwood Symphony and the eight
players in the ensemble for their perform-
ance. From the multiple keyboardists and
guitarists special note for virtuosity to
lead guitarist Stephen Krilanovich to the
singers, the band had air. Omar Spences
voice is a particularly good replica of John
Lennons. Richard Bryant did Pauls songs
there were a lot of those and Ken Kraft
stood in for both George and Ringo.
Bryant found coordinating timing with
the orchestra something of a challenge in
Yesterday and Eleanor Rigby, songs

repertoire. His and Krafts voices differ more
from the originals, but they did well,
whooping up the audience in I Am the
Walrus, for instance, and trying to make a
singalong out of Hello Goodbye. Needless
to say, there was no trouble making a singa-
long out of the rst encore, Hey Jude.
And the orchestra behind them sounded
pretty neat, too. Amplied, the balance was
good. Both listening and watching the
musicians, it became clear, for instance,
just how much the orchestral strings con-
tribute to the sound even of an uncompro-
mising rock song like I Am the Walrus.
Which was played, by the way, immediately
following Strawberry Fields, of which its
virtually a photocopy, so the program
ordering was rather daring too.
I particularly liked the brass, rather wild
and rough in songs like All You Need is
Love and Got To Get You Into My Life,
but still on target, contributing to the fun of
the concert. Stephen Ruppenthal ran out to
the end of his tether reproducing the famous
trumpet solo in Penny Lane. It was awe-
some when he got through it successfully.
The clarinet section in When Im Sixty-
Four was a hoot also.
We got bits of Revolver and the White
Album, a good chunk of Abbey Road
including the last half of its medley, two
songs from Let It Be (with the orchestra
playing Phil Spectors overdubs without the
gooey saturation on the record), Johns
solo Imagine and Pauls big production
number Live and Let Die, over half of the
Magical Mystery Tour album and a good
chunk of Sgt. Pepper ending with the
closing three songs running together. The
famous chaotic orchestral crescendos that
punctuate ADay in the Life were a treat to
hear live. In fact, this whole concert was a
treat to hear live.

landowner (Vanessa Redgrave, beginning
the celebrity cameo parade) takes Cecil
into her home, where he first learns to be a
butler how to act, she tells him, like the
room is empty even when hes in it.
Years later, working in a Washington,
D.C., hotel, Cecil is noticed by a White
House official, leading to a job there. His
wife, Gloria, is immensely proud. Gloria,
as you may have heard, is played by one
Oprah Winfrey, and her performance is
often restrained and quite moving. To her
credit, youre not thinking Wow, Oprah!
in every scene; that in itself is no small
triumph.
Not all the star performances are suc-
cessful. When we first see Robin Williams
as Eisenhower, his head bald, it almost
feels like were about to witness a
Saturday Night Live skit. Williams
doesnt overdo it, but the casting choice
seems forced.
James Marsden, on the other hand, is a
good choice as John F. Kennedy, with his
handsome grin, boyish demeanor and
Boston drawl. Liev Schreiber is amusing if
a little broad as LBJ, and John Cusack is
interesting as Richard Nixon, even though
he looks nothing like him. Alan Rickman
and Jane Fonda, making the most of her
one scene, make a surprisingly satisfying
Ronald and Nancy Reagan.
But what makes the film work, finally,
are the soft-spoken Whitaker, whose dig-
nified portrayal rivals his Oscar-winning
work in The Last King of Scotland, and
the powerful Oyelowo, whose Louis pro-
gresses over the years from determined and
brave to angry and cynical, and ultimately
to a seasoned older man.
Their relationship gives structure to the
broad story of civil rights in America a
story crucial to tell, and crucial to hear.
Daniels and company may not have made a
masterpiece, but they have made a film you
should see.
Lee Daniels The Butler, a Weinstein
Company release, is rated PG-13 by the
Motion Picture Association of America
for some violence and disturbing
images, language, sexual material, the-
matic elements and smoking. Running
time: 132 minutes. Three and a half stars

movies has often been seen through
white eyes: civil rights-era tales with
white protagonists reacting to a
changing world.
Ive been in some of those
movies, says David Oyelowo, a star
in Lee Daniels The Butler. I was in
the The Help.
The viewpoint of The Butler,
though, is refreshingly colorful. In it,
Forest Whitaker plays Cecil Gaines, a
man born to sharecroppers whos
turned into a domestic servant. After
eeing north, he rises to serve as a but-
ler in the White House for seven suc-
cessive presidents, spanning from
Eisenhower to Reagan, from Jim Crow
to Barack Obama.
Though The Butler is based on the
life of the long-serving White House
butler Eugene Allen, its a composite
history (scripted by Danny Strong)
where the currents of change
Emmett Till to the Black Panthers
course through a black family whose
proximity to power doesnt make it
any less elusive. Daniels lm isnt
obsessive in its period detail (John
Cusack plays Nixon with little make-
up), but it moves to its own rhythm
one that lms have usually set to a dif-
ferent beat.
Im grateful that these stories of
African-Americans struggling in
America are brought to light by any-
body, says Daniels. But its always
great to see it from the perspective of
someone who has actually lived it and
walked it and is it.
The lm, which the Weinstein Co.
will release Friday after a public and
protracted feud with Warner Bros. over
the rights to the title of The Butler,
also stars Oprah Winfrey as Gaines
wife and Oyelow as his rebrand son.
The crux of the lm is in the father-son
relationship: one who effects change
passively in a quiet dignity that slow-
ly gathers a cumulative force, and
another who resolutely protests on
whites-only counters to spur action.
Winfrey, who co-produced Daniels
Precious, was coaxed back into act-
ing 15 years after Beloved by a per-
sistent Daniels and by what she con-
sidered an important story.
I was like: What is this movie?
says Winfrey. But I could feel the
heartbeat of a generation of men who
had given themselves to their families
and to their work and to creating a bet-
ter life for themselves.
Men like him, she adds, are and
were the foundation of the African-
American community. I want people to
know that person, that level of middle-
class, hardworking man of integrity
exists. That is who we are.
For Whitaker, the part was a wel-
come return to heavyweight perform-
ance (he sometimes played Gaines
across three ages in one day), a thread
the actor felt he had lost after his
Oscar-winning turn as Ugandan dicta-
tor Idi Amin in 2006s The Last King
of Scotland. But Whitaker says he
was reinvigorated by the demands of
immersing himself in Gaines lis-
tening to interview recordings of the
deceased Allen, studying with a butler
coach to create who he calls a quiet
champion.
Who are the owners of the White
House? says Whitaker, whose per-
formance is being hailed by critics as
one of his nest. In fact, it is the peo-
ple who own the White House and the
presidents are, in a way, visitors.
Since the White House staff lives there
for 20 to 30 years on a normal basis,
its their home.
Creating the generational conict of
The Butler was particularly cathartic
for the 53-year-old Daniels who has
teenage twins (a son and daughter), and
who was the victim of abuse from his
policeman father growing up in West
Philadelphia.
Through this now, I understand
where the abuse came from, says
Daniels. I understand and I forgive
him, nally. He knew no better. His
father beat him and his fathers father
beat him. It stemmed from slavery. It
takes a very evolved person not to
pass that on to your next generation. I
know now why he beat me, because he
didnt know any other way of commu-
nicating.
I love him, says Daniels, nally
breaking down into tears.
The line of history through The
Butler runs right up to the present
with plenty of contemporary reverber-
ations beyond Obama. The lm is a
reminder for young audiences of the
great accomplishments of an older
generation of black Americans, but it
also, as Oyelowo says, contextual-
izes the America we live in today.
History told through a black lens
15 years later, Oprah
is back in the movies
By Jake Coyle
NEWYORK The day before Oprah Winfrey began shoot-
ing Lee Daniels The Butler, she was at the White House,
talking to the president.
Her access to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue (this particular
trip was for a 2012 campaign interview) is considerably
greater than her characters in the lm. She plays Gloria
Gaines, the wife of a long-serving White House butler (Forest
Whitaker), whose service spans seven presidents and decades
of civil rights sea changes.
They said, Do you want to talk to some butlers?Winfrey
recalled in a recent interview. I said, No. You got some but-
lers wives? Ill talk to them.
It was 15 years ago the last time Winfrey was on the big
screen, in the 1998 adaption of Toni Morrisons novel,
Beloved, produced by Winfreys Harpo Productions. In the
time since, shes been slightly busy. The Oprah Winfrey
Show grew into an enormous cultural force. Her work on the
side in lm (most memorably in Steven Spielbergs The
Color Purple, for which she received an Oscar nomination)
took a back seat to being a television icon and an entrepre-
neur.
I would only give my time to something that really mat-
tered to me, she says. Im not interested in being in the
movies for movies sake.
But Daniels was persistent. He had sought Winfrey for the
role Macy Gray ended up playing in 2009s Precious
(Winfrey became a producer) and several other projects.
It was hard, Daniels says of the pursuit. I was looking
for something to do with her, and I kept telling her: You have
got to come back to work, because she was magnicent in
The Color Purple. I wanted it selshly for myself. I wanted
to see her on the screen.
I gave her a script she couldnt refuse, says Daniels of
Danny Strongs screenplay. I hooked her in. Once I got her
in, it was over.
The timing was poor for Winfrey, who was then trying to
get her cable network, OWN, off the ground. Though the net-
work is now running more smoothly (it recently became
protable), the start was rocky, trying to nd a programming
identity and lure viewers to a new destination on the dial.
I thought it was an important story to tell, even though I
was in the midst of cra-a-a-zy business with my network,
says Winfrey. I said to Lee so many times: Lee, Lee, Lee. I
cannot do this. This is not the time for me. He was like, Im
doing it. Im going ahead. And you told me, you promised me,
Oprah!
While Winfrey was making The Butler, she was knee-
deep in running OWN: prepping shows, shopping for others
and negotiating to bring Tyler Perry in as a producer (a move
thats been a big factor in OWNs turnaround). But she regrets
the balancing act.
The way to do lm is to take yourself out of your other life,
do it, and then go back to your other life, Winfrey says. I
almost had a nervous breakdown.
I hope something else comes along that will mean as
much to me as this does, so that I would take the time and the
effort to get it right, she adds. Its work. Its no plaything.
Picking up acting again after a decade and a half wasnt
easy, either, even for a seasoned show-business performer
like Winfrey. She hired an acting coach (Susan Batson, who
has coached Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman), she says,
because I was scared. Though OWN made for constant dis-
tractions, Winfrey otherwise reveled in acting again.
On the days that I was in it, in it, in the character, it felt
really good, she says. Its a wonderful muscle to get to exer-
cise again. I really do feel like thats exactly what I was
doing. Its like putting away your instrument and not touch-
ing it, and then going back in and pulling it out. It felt
rewarding.
It was 15 years ago the last time Oprah Winfrey was on the big
screen,in the 1998 adaption of Toni Morrisons novel,Beloved,
produced by Winfreys Harpo Productions.
Im grateful that these stories of
African-Americans struggling in America are
brought to light by anybody. ... But its always
great to see it from the perspective of someone
who has actually lived it and walked it and is it.

DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
POP IN THE DESERT: WARHOL OUT
WEST AT THE BELLAGIO GALLERY
OF FINE ART IN LAS VEGAS. One of
the most inuential artists in the visual art
movement known as Pop Art, Andy Warhol
based his creative depiction of celebrity,
advertisements, comic books and brand
products within the realm of popular culture.
The pioneering artists depiction of all
things Western is being shown in Warhol
Out West at the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art
in Las Vegas, featuring 56 of Warhols
works, including Warhols rarely seen
Cowboys and Indians series; his beloved
Double Elvis painting; and Mobil,
Life Savers, Blackglama (Judy Garland)
and Volkswagen from the artists adver-
tisement series.
Gallery Executive Director Tarissa Tiberti
said, Since opening, weve had an incredi-
bly positive response from our guests that
have visited from around the world, across
all generations. The works in this exhibit
that seem to be the most popular are
Warhols rarely seen Cowboys and
Indians series. Not only are the works
extremely important to the overall theme of
Warhol Out West, but their color combi-
nations and multilayers resemble the neon
signs of a Las Vegas era that no longer
exists, which tend to resonate with a lot of
our guests.
The Bellagio exhibit was organized in
partnership with The Andy Warhol Museum
in Pittsburgh, Pa., one of the most compre-
hensive single-artist museums in the world.
Commenting on Warhol Out West, Warhol
Museum Director Eric Shiner said, We hope
visitors to the gallery think about the rela-
tionship of the images in front of them with
the landscape of Las Vegas, from the kitsch
to the fabulous and everything in between.
As Las Vegas is key to understanding
America, there is no better place than
Bellagio for us to share our Andy Warhol art-
works. Whether Elvis, Liz, Campbells
Soup or a Brillo Box, Warhols subjects rep-
resent America in all of its many guises.
Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art is located
inside the Bellagio Resort & Casino, 3600
S. Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas, Nev. Tickets
and information are available by calling
(702) 693-7871 or online at bellagio.com.
Audio tours are included in the price of
admission and complimentary docent tours
are available daily at 2 p.m. Warhol Out
West runs through Jan. 2, 2014.

MODERNIST MAVERICK: THE
ARCHITECTURE OF WILLIAM L.
PEREIRA AT THE NEVADA MUSEUM
OF ART IN RENO. The structures that
American architect William L. Pereira (1909
1985) designed were far-ung and often
large in scale. At the time of his death,
Pereira had more than 400 projects to his
name, ranging from San Franciscos
Transamerica Pyramid to the Los Angeles
County Museum of Art to Pepperdine
University; and from the master plans for
Irvine Ranch and the Los Angeles
International Airport to a master plan for
Doha the capital city of Qatar. Modernist
Maverick: The Architecture of William L.
Pereira, at the Nevada Museum of Art, sur-
veys his work through images, models,
drawings and plans that
frame Pereiras practice with-
in the histories of architec-
tural modernism and
Southern California in the
mid-20th century. Because
Pereiras career parallels the
arc of modern architecture
and its focus on iconic form, the evolution
and trajectory of his work shed light on the
closing window of the modern movement.
Exhibit Curator Colin Robertson, Charles
N. Mathewson Curator of Education, Nevada
Museum of Art, said, What resonates most
in Pereiras work is an architectural point of
view oriented toward time the future, per-
manence and the function of architecture as
process. Pereira took the long view, imple-
menting strategies for the built environ-
ment that were not intended to be completed
for 50 years or more. Rather than designing
iconic structures for these places, Pereira
designed plans for the exible and unfore-
seen accommodation of future users and
uses. For 40, 50 and in some cases 60 years
his buildings have quietly consolidated
power as symbols that have become power-
ful icons, associated not only with the
brands of Fortune 500 companies but with
the place-based identity of entire cities, val-
ued for the abstractions of what they repre-
sent to visitors and residents alike.
The Nevada Museum of Art is thematic,
focusing on the growing interest in the pro-
tection of the land. The Altered Landscape:
Photographs of a Changing Environment,
the museums signature photography col-
lection, examines human interaction with
the environment. Modernist Maverick: The
Architecture of William L. Pereira runs
through Oct. 13 at the Nevada Museum of
Arts Donald W. Reynolds Center for the
Visual Arts. 160 W. Liberty St., Reno, Nev.

COLLECTION OF THE ANDY WARHOL MUSEUM, PITTSBURGH 2012.

plan is reasonable and forgiving.
The lifestyle section promotes time
management, keeping order at home,
travel and entertaining. Some readers
may nd the detailed instructions on
how to use a smartphone micromanag-
ing. Many of the tips on vacation and
party planning seem obvious, but may
be aimed at younger fans with less life
experience.
The chapters on work are benecial
for women interested in rejuvenating
their careers or starting a business.
Frankel tells fascinating behind-the-
scenes stories about her business
deals, showcasing successes and
admitting failures. She offers advice to
moguls-in-the-making, including a
checklist to determine if you and your
idea have the right stuff, and lists of
pros and cons of quitting your job and
becoming self-employed. Frankel also
emphasizes the importance of manag-
ing money as a form of self-empower-
ment.
The voice is classic Bethenny: can-
did, sassy and opinionated, punctuated
with self-deprecating humor. She
writes like shes talking to her girl-
friends unedited and not afraid to
show a vulnerable side in the brief
mentions of her painful divorce. Wi t h
hundreds of self-help books, Frankels
connection with her fans sets this one
apart. Her ability to tap into how
women think and feel creates an inti-
macy with readers.
The book reveals aspects of
Frankels personality that hint at how
shes become so accomplished. Shes
not exaggerating when she calls her-
self neurotic about cleaning and organ-
izing her home. Her attention to detail
seems to translate from the bathroom
to the boardroom, as she says shes
obsessive about getting her products
right and keeping her hand in every
part of her businesses.
Critics are likely to point out the
shameless marketing throughout the
book, as Frankel sings the praises of
seemingly every Skinnygirl product
available. But that in itself is a lesson
to never miss an opportunity at self-
promotion.
Skinnygirl Solutions is written
from the heart. The book is lovingly
dedicated to women and its clear
Frankel genuinely cares about making
life better for them, whether its shar-
ing a low-fat recipe or creating a busi-
ness plan. Her pluck and unrelenting
work ethic will inspire fans and will
probably be responsible for a new
generation of female entrepreneurs
who are healthy, organized and impec-
cably dressed.

Karen Jensen, board member at the
Home Association of North Central
San Mateo and parent of students at
Fiesta Gardens International
Elementary School and Abbott Middle
School, spoke at the meeting about
her concern with the project, citing
health issues and noise.
I had concerns about what kind of
materials would be on the site. ...
Asbestos and noise would be a con-
cern, Jensen said.
Trustee Audrey Ng shared Jensens
reservations.
We were concerned about the dust
and noise impacting children at
school, Ng said. They would be haul-
ing dust and dirt and the wind picks up
in that part of town.
The lot has been used in the past as a
playeld, but recently has been used
by the contractor for College Park
school construction.
Jensen said she is worried about the
fact that the school district hasnt
maintained the lot in good order, with
debris sitting in the area.
Theres lots of options that can be
pursued for that land, Jensen said.
Using it as a construction lot is not in
our best interest. Its a horrible weedy
lot right now. Restoring a playeld
would be good.
Jensen said in the long term shed be
interested in seeing the space used for

ing $144,000, according to a staff

Commission will consider asking the
council to certify the final EIR,
approve the projects precise plan of
guidelines and policies, rezone the
property as planning community and
accept the proposed development
agreement.
The proposed plan on part of the
former Mid-Technology Park calls for
up to 1.518 million square feet of
building spaces and approximately
4,500 parking spaces on a 35-acre
campus bisected by Broadway and
generally bound by Highway 101,
Douglas Avenue, Bay Road and
Second Avenue. The existing eight
office and research and development
buildings will be demolished and rede-
velopment will happen in phases,
adding a medical clinic and offices for
administration and research. The uni-
versity will also add new infrastruc-
ture, public open space next to Spinas
Park and extensions of Barron,
Warrington and Hurlingame streets
through the campus to improve traffic
from vehicles, pedestrians and bikes.
The draft EIR found potentially sig-
nificant impacts to air quality during
construction, hazardous materials and
historic and cultural resources includ-
ing the Ampex sign and 425
Broadway building. Traffic conges-
tion will be mitigated through the
street improvements and a shuttle
system.
The proposed development agree-
ment between Redwood City and
Stanford University would contribute
$1.5 million to a street enhancement
program, $4 million to the communi-
ty sustainability fund, $450,000 for
bicycle system improvements,
$100,000 for bus shelter improve-
ments, $1.5 million for water tank
improvements and $1 million of
storm water improvements to address
existing flood conditions in the proj-
ect area.
Stanford University will also spend
$5 million in education and training
programs for city residents and busi-
nesses, $1 million for a multi-use
recreation and wellness center at Red
Morton Park, $250,000 toward the
summer concert series and $250,000
for the Redwood City Educational
Foundation.
If the Planning Commission recom-
mends the final EIR as expected the
City Council will take up the certifi-
cation at a meting in September.
The Redwood City Planning
Commission meets 7 p.m. Tuesday,
Aug. 20 at City Hall, 1017
Middlefield Road, Redwood City.

CAIRO Egypts capital descended
into chaos Friday as vigilantes at neigh-
borhood checkpoints battled Muslim
Brotherhood-led protesters denouncing
the ouster of President Mohammed Morsi
and a deadly crackdown. The fiercest street
clashes the city has seen in more than two
years of turmoil left more than 60 people
dead, including several policemen.
The sight of residents firing at one
another marked a dark turn in the conflict,
as civilians armed with pistols and assault
rifle clashed with protesters taking part in
what the Muslim Brotherhood called a
Day of Rage, ignited by anger at securi-
ty forces for clearing two sit-in demon-
strations Wednesday in clashes that killed
more than 600 people.
Military helicopters circled overhead as
residents furious with the Brotherhood
protests pelted them with rocks and glass
bottles. The two sides also fired on one
another, sparking running street battles
throughout the capitals residential
neighborhoods.
There was little hope that an evening
curfew would curb the violence as the
Muslim Brotherhood called on supporters
of the countrys ousted Islamist president,
Mohammed Morsi, to stage daily
protests.
Unlike in past clashes between protest-
ers and police, residents and possibly
police in civilian clothing battled those
participating in the Brotherhood-led
marches. There were few police in uniform
to be seen as neighborhood watchdogs
and pro-Morsi protesters fired at one
another for hours on a bridge that crosses
over Cairos Zamalek district, an upscale
island neighborhood where many foreign-
ers and ambassadors reside.
Across the country, at least 56 civilians
were killed, along with eight police offi-
cers, security officials said. They spoke
on condition of anonymity in line with
regulations.
The violence erupted shortly after mid-
day weekly prayers when tens of thou-
sands of Brotherhood supporters answered
the groups call to protest across Egypt in
defiance of a military-imposed state of
emergency following the bloodshed earli-
er this week.
Egypt battles leave at least 64 dead
Beirut bomb ups fear
of fallout from Syria war
BEIRUT Hezbollahs leader blamed
Sunni extremists Friday for a car bombing
that killed 22 people in a Shiite neighbor-
hood south of Beirut, heightening fears that
Lebanon will be dragged further into sectar-
ian fallout from the war in neighboring
Syria.
In a defiant speech to his supporters,
Sheik Hassan Nasrallah said he was prepared
to double the number of his ghters in Syria
if Thursdays bombing turned out to be retal-
iation for Hezbollahs intervention against
Syrian rebels.
If you think that by killing our women
and children ... and destroying our neigh-
borhoods, villages and cities we will retreat
or back away from our position, you are
wrong, he said.
Somalia polio outbreak
spreads; 105 recorded cases
NAIROBI, Kenya Somalia is suffering
an explosive outbreak of polio and now
has more cases than the rest of the world
combined, an ofcial said Friday.
Vaccine-wielding health workers face a
daunting challenge: accessing areas of
Somalia controlled by al-Qaida-linked mili-
tants, where 7 of 10 children arent fully
immunized.
Polio is mostly considered eliminated
globally except mainly in three countries
where it is considered endemic:
Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan. India
marked a major success in February 2012 by
being removed from the World Health
Organizations list of countries plagued by
the disease.
