EXPERTS COLLECTED SAMPLES AND TESTIMONY FROM
SYRIAN DOCTORS AND VICTIMS
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
William Hamilton Ayres, the once-
renowned child psychiatrist who abruptly
pleaded no contest to molesting ve young
male patients under the guise of medical
exams, was sentenced Monday to eight
years in prison and lifetime registration as
a sex offender.
Ayres, 81, showed no
reaction as Judge Beth
Labson Freeman
explained her sentence
eight years for one
count with the other
seven counts running
concurrent based in part
on his advanced age,
medical issues and lack
of criminal record but grew agitated with
bailiffs attempting to push his wheelchair
from the courtroom after the hearings com-
pletion.
Freeman handed down the term after rst
denying the latest defense move to have
Ayres, 81, declared mentally incompetent
and hearing hours of emotional testimony
from now-grown victims and their families
about the direct impact of his abuse on their
lives and the ripple effect through decades
when they suppressed memories or found
accusations falling on deaf ears.
Thomas C., identied only with his last
initial like all speakers yesterday, looked
directly at Ayres and told the wheelchair-
bound man with the bowed head that he was
a a wolf spider who further divided his

Why twerking is
already over: A countdown
NEWYORK The day after the MTV
Video Music Awards came with a few
more people Googling the phrase:
What is twerking?
Its been a popular search all summer,
ever since Miley Cyrus, Americas for-
mer teen sweetheart, decided her path-
way to chart-topping success involved
doing freaky things with stuffed ani-
mals and gyrating her booty at high
speeds. Newly anointed as an expert,
Cyrus has been twerking her way up the
charts with the song We Cant Stop,
the catchy groove that has been in
Billboards top 10 for most of the sum-
mer.
For those who are still unclear,
twerking is a dance, its all about the
movement of the rump and its been
around longer than Mileys been alive.
Its been called different things at dif-
ferent times, but anyone who saw the
video Rump Shaker, has been to a
strip club or has seen the majority of
hip-hop videos over the years proba-
bly has a good idea of what twerking is.
Cyrus appropriation of the dance for
her ratchet makeover (go ahead and
Google that) has put a new spotlight on
the move, and made it the dance du jour.
But before you start taking twerking
lessons from your local YMCA or the
Internet, you might want to nd a better
way to invest your time. All signs are
pointing to the fact
that twerking, while
not on its way out,
may have already
reached its peak:
Aformer Disney
star has become the
poster child for
twerking.
Your Zumba
teacher says, OK
ladies - now its time to twerk!
There are twerk dance teams.
Twerking instructional videos on
YouTube have millions of views.
There are videos of pets twerking
with thousands of views.
Selena Gomez says she taught
Ethan Hawke how to do it.
Theres a Wikipedia entry on twerk-
ing.
Rapper Juicy J briey offered a
twerking college scholarship.
The Associated Press is doing a
story on twerking.
Clown couple ties
the knot, no foolin
LANCASTER, Pa. If the key to a
long marriage is laughter, these clowns
are set.
Billy Tedeski and Patty Kulwicki tied
the knot Friday at an annual clown fes-
tival in central Pennsylvania.
The (Harrisburg) Patriot-News
reports Kulwicki literally reeled
Tedeski in to start the ceremony a bit
the Pittsburgh couple had performed at
Clownfest two years ago.
Tedeski wore a fake nose, black lip-
stick and full clown regalia as he
exchanged vows with Kulwicki at the
festival in Lancaster. The bride wore
the same dress shed used in the skit
two years ago, plus a lace headband to
go along with her ame-red wig.
Guests got in on the act and so did the
ofciant, a fellow clown. Tedeski says
his fellow clowns are more than
friends, theyre family.
Trump calls New York attorney
general a political hack
ALBANY, N.Y. Donald Trump on
Monday defended his Trump University
as a booming success for student entre-
preneurs and blasted New Yorks attor-
ney general, who called it a scam.
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman
shot back that Trump is making wild
accusations, just like others who com-
mit fraud and get caught.
We have a terric school. Its done a
fantastic job, Trump told ABCs Good
Morning America. We have a 98 per-
cent approval rating among students.
Trump held several TV interviews to
further contest the lawsuit led Saturday
by Schneiderman, which alleges the
real estate mogul helped run a phony
university that promised to make stu-
dents rich but instead steered them into
expensive and mostly useless semi-
nars.

Samaritan House made some big techno-
logical steps with its most recent school
supply drive in hopes of better connecting
those who can give with those who have
need.
For the rst time, the San Mateo-based
nonprofit accepted online donations
through an Amazon Wish List.
Spokeswoman Marcy Spiker said the organ-
ization found that this allowed individuals
to pay for an item that Samaritan House
requested and have it shipped directly to the
organization.
The wish lists are only available during
Samaritan Houses fundraising events.
Spiker said that this upcoming holiday
season, Samaritan House will continue the
online donations.
Its a convenient way to do online shop-
ping at the same time and not have to worry
about the hassle, Spiker said. We want to
continue giving people options.
The charity has been running their back-
to-school program for the past few years,
spurred by clients who said back-to-school
supplies were an added expense for them.
Supplies to ll backpacks included pens,
highlighters, rules, glue, scissors, calcula-
tors, crayons, binders, folders, paper, pen-
cil sharpeners and pencil cases.
We can take a little bit of a load off for
back-to-school season, Spiker said.
This year, 222 children beneted from
Samaritan Houses annual back-to-school
backpack giveaway, exceeding its goal of
200 backpacks with supplies. Client fami-
lies that wished to receive free backpacks
for their kids signed up for the distribution
earlier in the summer and began picking up
their packs this month.
Back-to-school donations were accepted
throughout the summer from individual
donors, businesses and community service
organizations in the area. This season, the
largest donations were received from dona-
tion drives conducted by Price Waterhouse
Coopers in San Francisco and Western Hills
Church in San Mateo.
Around 22 more backpacks were available
this year compared with last year.
Back-to-school is such an exciting time
for these families, but many of our clients
are faced with a challenge in providing
these additional supplies when their budgets
are already tight, said Robyn Fischer,
client service supervisor, in a prepared
statement. By providing our client fami-
lies with these backpacks and school sup-
plies, we are equipping these children with
the supplies they need to have a successful
school year.
But the start of school doesnt mean the
end of providing for needy students.
Samaritan House is kicking off its
Halloween Costume Drive after Labor Day
and it will be looking for costume dona-
tions for youths up to age 14.

Police seek two in
South City home burglary
Police in South San Francisco are looking
for a pair of suspects that burglarized a home
early Saturday morning.
At about 4:50 a.m., a male broke into a
home in the 3800 block of Callan
Boulevard, police said.
At the time of the attempted burglary, the
residents of the home were in their bed-
room, and one of the residents forced the
burglar out, according to police.
Another suspect waited outside and acted
as a lookout, police said.
Both suspects ed the area, running in the
area of Greendale Drive and Haussmann
Court.
The suspect who was inside the home is
described as a medium complexion stocky
male, standing 5 feet 6 inches tall with a
bald head. He was last seen wearing a white
T-shirt wrapped around his head to cover his
face and dark pants.
The lookout suspect is described as a male
with dark skin, about 5 feet 9 inches tall
with a thin body. He was wearing a blue
sweater around his face, a white T-shirt and
dark pants. He may have been carrying a
rearm, police said.
Anyone with information about the inci-
dent or the suspects are asked to call South
San Francisco police at 877-8900.

STATE
GOVERNMENT
The Legislature
Monday approved
and sent to the gover-
nor a bill by state
Sen. Jerry Hi l l ,
D-San Mateo, that
would authorize the Cal i f orni a
Department of Fish and Wi l dl i f e t o
partner with wildlife groups and nonprot s
when responding to reports of mountain
lions near residences that do not involve an
imminent threat to human life.
Hill introduced Senat e Bi l l 132 after
two mountain lion cubs were fatally shot
Nov. 30, 2012, in a Half Moon Bay neigh-
borhood. State game wardens and San
Mateo County sheriffs deputies were
unable to shoo the cubs from the neighbor-
hood to nearby Burleigh Murray Ranch
State Park, and regulations did not permit
the ofcers to pursue other options, accord-
ing to Hills ofce.
Department of Fish and Wildlife ofcials
initially said the female siblings weighed
25 to 30 pounds. But necropsies showed
they were only about 4 months old,
weighed 13 to 14 pounds and were starving
and unlikely to survive in the wild without
their mother, according to Hills ofce.
Current state regulations do not give
DFWmuch exibility when mountain lions
venture into populated areas, as in the inci-
dent in Half Moon Bay and another moun-
tain lion shooting in Redwood City in
2011, according to Hills ofce.
The Legislature Monday approved a bill
by state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, that
would create an additional safeguard
restricting high-speed rail through the
Peninsula to a blended, primarily two-track
system to minimize impacts to communi-
ties along the Caltrain right-of-way.
Senat e Bi l l 557, coauthored by
Assembl ymen Ri ch Gordon, D-
Menlo Park, and Kevin Mullin, D-
South San Franci sco, cleared the
Assembl y on a 49-24 vote and awaits the
governors signature.
The legislation, which puts to rest con-
cerns on the Peninsula that the California
High-Speed Rail Authority may revis-
it a four-track option, is supported by a
coalition of local governments, including
the cities of Palo Alto, Atherton, Redwood
City and San Carlos. The bill also has the
backing of the San Mateo County
Economi c Devel opment
Associ at i on, the San Mateo County
Transit District and the San Mateo
County Transport at i on Authori ty,
according to Hills ofce.

Thursday marks the start of the Bay Area
Bike Share program, in which about 700
bicycles will be available for rent 24 hours
a day at kiosks in San Francisco, Redwood
City, San Jose, Mountain View and Palo
Alto.
The bikes will be stationed near transit
hubs and popular destinations, and will be
available mostly for short trips of 30 min-
utes or less, according to the Santa Clara
Valley Transportation Authority.
The $11.2 million program will offer
rows of Canadian-made, seven-speed bikes
at a cost of $9 for a daily pass, $22 for three
days of rides and $88 for a full year, accord-
ing to the Bay Area Air Quality Management
District.
In Santa Clara County, some 280 bikes
will be parked at 28 kiosks, including at the
San Jose Diridon, San Antonio, Mountain
View and Palo Alto Caltrain stations, VTA
spokeswoman Brandi Childress said.
Bikes also will be available in parts of
San Joses downtown area including at San
Jose City Hall, San Jose State University,
San Pedro Square, Japantown, the Adobe
building and the San Jose Convention
Center, Childress said.
Other kiosks in the county will be located
at the San Antonio Shopping Center in
Mountain View, Stanford University and
downtown Palo Alto.
One aim of the
program is to
allow commuters
to take public tran-
sit to work and use the
b i k e s
f o r
the short trips from transit stops to the
workplace.
In the spring, 300 additional bikes and 30
new kiosks will be added in the ve cities.
Alta Bike Share, based in Portland, Ore.,
was awarded the contract to oversee the pro-
gram, brought to the region through a part-
nership between the VTA,

SACRAMENTO California pharma-
cists would be allowed to dispense substi-
tute medications that are biologically sim-
ilar to brand-names under a bill that has
cleared the state Assembly.
Biological medicines are created from
living cells rather than by mixing chemi-
cals. Unlike traditional generic medica-
tions, the so-called
biosimilars resemble
but are not identical to
the biological medica-
tion they are replicat-
i ng.
Under legislation by
Democratic Sen. Jerry
Hill, D-San Mateo, phar-
macists could substitute
a potentially cheaper
biosimilar medication if approved by the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The
pharmacy must notify the doctor who
issued the prescription if a substitute is
dispensed.
Several large biotech companies are
among the bills supporters. Opponents,
including the state Board of Pharmacy, say
state rules should wait until the FDA has
established regulations.
SB598 passed the Assembly 58-4
Monday and returns to the Senate for a
final vote.

failed on the new San Francisco-
Oakland Bay Bridge.
Tests began this month on 700
steel rods and bolts on the east-
ern span that are considered at
risk of cracking.
Samples are being dunked in
saltwater and stretched to simu-
late bridge loads. Brian
Maroney, Caltrans chief engi-
neer for the span, says the rods
have held up, and that could indi-
cate theyre strong enough to do
the job.
But hes not drawing any con-
clusions until the tests are com-
pleted.
The tests were ordered after 32
seismic safety bolts broke in
March, threatening to delay the
Sept. 3 opening of the $6.4 bil-
lion span.

SAN FRANCISCO The
familiar sight of a sea otter float-
ing on its back, meal on its
belly, is more than a cuddly spec-
tacle, research at a Central
California estuary has found.
Astudy published Monday sug-
gests that by eating crabs, sea
otters are indirectly combating
harmful effects of agricultural
runoff and protecting the under-
water ecosystem of Elkhorn
Slough, an estuary near
Monterey Bay about 75 miles
southeast of San Francisco.
Underwater sea grass, which
has many environmental bene-
fits including providing habitat
for fish, is typically stifled by
algae fueled by nutrients in agri-
cultural runoff. But with otters
present, the sea grass thrived
through the cascading effect of
the food chain, according to the
study from University of
California, Santa Cruz
researchers published in the
Proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences.
The sea otters eat crabs. Crabs
prey on animals that clean the
estuarys sea grass of algae
caused by farm pollution. The
otters keep the crab numbers low,
allowing the grass to thrive,
according to the researchers.
The sea grass habitat is impor-
tant to young salmon, cod, and
herring and also plays a big role
in sequestering carbon and pro-
tecting the shoreline from big
waves, said Brent Hughes, the
lead researcher on the study.
Hughes is pursuing a doctorate in
ecology and evolutionary biolo-
gy at UC Santa Cruz.
If that sea grass goes away,
then all of a sudden you lose all
these important functions,
Hughes said.
Southern sea otters were hunted
to near extinction for their thick
fur from the 18th to early 20th
century. They were believed to
have been wiped out entirely
from the California coast.
But a small population near
Californias Big Sur survived,
driving a slow recovery to
approximately 2,800 otters
ranging from Half Moon Bay to
Santa Barbara. In 1984, they re-
entered the Elkhorn Slough.
Scientists expect their range to
continue to expand along the
coast, but their recovery has
slowed due to diseases and shark
attacks. The otters are listed as
threatened under the federal
Endangered Species Act.
Since the mid-1900s, runoff
from nearby farms polluted many
California estuaries like Elkhorn
Slough with excessive amounts
of nitrogen causing algae to
grow and smother sea grass,
Hughes said.
Sea slugs and other creatures in
the estuary historically ate algae
and cleaned the sea grass. But in
the absence of predators like the
otter, the estuarys crab popula-
tion boomed, with the crabs eat-
ing many of the algae-cleaning
creatures.
But when otters returned they
ravenously ate crabs. Fewer crabs
mean more creatures to eat algae
off of sea grass, promoting the
grass growth.
Study: Crab-eating otters
combat water pollution
There are now approximately 2,800 otters ranging from Half Moon Bay to Santa Barbara.

LOCAL/STATE
Bill lets independent
experts examine Bay Bridge
SACRAMENTO Independent experts
could examine the new span of the San
Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge without fear
that they would be sued under a bill sent to
Gov. Jerry Brown.
The Senate gave unanimous approval
Monday to SB110.
Seven experts were selected to review the
bridges construction by the nonpartisan
Legislative Analysts Ofce after questions
arose about the independence of other spe-
cialists chosen by the California
Department of Transportation. Caltrans is
building the bridge, which has been plagued
by defects.
Democratic Sen. Mark DeSaulnier of
Concord says a state-employee designation
for the analysts protects them from law-
suits. He says their inspection is vital so
the state can learn from mistakes that drove
up the costs and led to delays and safety con-
cerns about the $6.4 billion span.
Legislature allows
refilling of beer growlers
SACRAMENTO Beer lovers would be
able to rell their own containers at brew-
eries under legislation approved by the state
Senate.
Lawmakers unanimously approved AB647
by Democratic Assemblyman Wesley
Chesbro of Arcata on Monday.
Sen. Steve Knight, a Republican from
Palmdale who carried the bill in the Senate,
said it claries labeling requirements so
that consumers can use their growlers to pur-
chase craft beer from any microbrewery,
regardless of where they bought it.
Growlers are glass canisters that typically
hold a half-gallon of beer.
Current law only allows breweries to sell
growlers that have a label from that brew-
ery. Chesbros bill would let consumers
return the growlers to other breweries or
bring their own.
Legislature ends
loophole in legal rape definition
SACRAMENTO Lawmakers have sent
Gov. Jerry Brown a bill intended to close a
loophole in state law that resulted in a rape
conviction being overturned because the
victim was not married.
The bill, SB59, was given nal approval
Monday by the Senate.
It responds to a January decision by the
2nd District Court of Appeal. In that case,
the court reversed the conviction of a man
who was found guilty of impersonating a
womans boyfriend so he could have sex
with her while she was asleep.
The judges ruled that a state law dating to
the 1870s applies to assailants only if the
female victim is married and the man is pre-
tending to be her spouse.
Legislation would protect
reporters phone records
SACRAMENTO State ofcials would
be required to give journalists ve days
notice before they issue subpoenas for tele-
phone records under legislation that has
passed the Assembly.
Democratic state Sen. Ted Lieu of Torrance
drafted the bill after it was disclosed that the
U.S. Department of Justice had retrieved
telephone logs of Associated Press journal-
ists.
California has a shield law requiring law
enforcement to give ve days notice to
news organizations before serving subpoe-
nas on the organization or reporter. Lieu
says the Justice Department probe shows
that investigators can bypass that law by
secretly subpoenaing telephone or Internet
companies.
Bill responds to
scandal in California state parks
SACRAMENTO Lawmakers have sent
Gov. Jerry Brown a bill designed to deter a
repeat of the nancial scandal that rocked
the California Department of Parks and
Recreation.
The bill by Democratic Sen. Richard Roth
of Riverside requires that state department
heads swear under penalty of perjury that
they are sending accurate budget informa-
tion to the state Department of Finance.
Violations could bring prison terms of up to
four years.
SB801 is in response to the discovery last
summer of $54 million hidden in two parks
department special funds.
Part of the problem was that parks of-
cials did not provide proper nancial data to
state budget ofcials. The parks director and
others lost their jobs.
Bill mandates three-foot
buffer between cars, bikes
SACRAMENTO The state Senate
approved a bill on Monday that would
require drivers to stay at least three feet away
from bicyclists when they are passing in the
same direction, despite Gov. Jerry Browns
previous vetoes of similar legislation.
Lawmakers approved AB1371 by
Assemblyman Steven Bradford, D-Gardena,
on a 31-7 vote. It aims to protect bicyclists
from harassment by drivers who deliberate-
ly travel close to bikes in an effort to intim-
idate riders.

Barack Obama presents the Medal of Honor to Army Staff Sergeant Ty Carter during a ceremony
in the East Room at the White House.
By Tom Raum
WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama bestowed the nations highest mili-
tary honor, the Medal of Honor, on Army
Staff Sgt. Ty Carter on Monday, saluting the
veteran of the war in Afghanistan as the
essence of true heroism, one still engaged
in a battle against the lingering emotional
fallout of war.
Carter risked his life to save an injured
soldier, resupply ammunition to his com-
rades and render rst aid during intense ght-
ing in a remote mountain outpost four years
ago.
As these soldiers and families will tell
you, theyre a family forged in battle, and
loss, and love, Obama said as Carter stood
at his side and members of his unit watched
in the White House East Room.
Then as an Army specialist, Carter
sprinted from his barracks into a ferocious
firefight, a day-long battle on Oct. 3,
2009, that killed eight of his fellow sol-
diers as they tried to defend their outpost
at the bottom of a valley and surrounded by
high mountains from the onslaught of a
much larger force of Taliban and local
fighters.
Still suffering from post-traumatic stress
syndrome, Carter stood nearly emotionless
during the ceremony, although a faint smile
crossed his face near the end that turned into
a broad grin as Obama hung the metal and its
blue ribbon around his neck and the audience
which included 40 members of the recipi-
ents family answered with a rousing
standing ovation.
Later, Carter told reporters outside the
White House that receiving the medal had
been one of the greatest experiences for
his family and that he would strive to live
up to the responsibility.
He also said he wanted to help the
American public to better understand the
invisible wounds still inicting him and
thousands of others.
Only those closest to me can see the
scars, Carter said, reading his statement.
He said Americans should realize that those
suffering from post-traumatic stress syn-
drome are not damaged, they are just bur-
dened by living when others are not.

DAMASCUS, Syria U.N.
experts collected samples and tes-
timony from Syrian doctors and
victims of an alleged chemical
weapons attack Monday follow-
ing a treacherous journey through
government and rebel-held territo-
ry, where their convoy was hit by
snipers.
As U.S. ofcials said there was
very little doubt that Syria used
chemical weapons and Western
powers stepped up calls for swift
military action, President Bashar
Assads government vowed to
defend itself against any interna-
tional attack, warning that such an
intervention would ignite turmoil
across the region.
It also would bring the U.S.
closer to a conict that has killed
more than 100,000 people since
Assad cracked down on Arab
Spring-inspired protesters in
March 2011.
Syrias civil war has been
increasingly dened by sectarian
killings between the Sunni-led
rebellion and Assads regime,
dominated by Alawites, an off-
shoot of Shiite Islam.
It would essentially pit the U.S.
and regional allies Saudi Arabia,
Turkey and Qatar in a proxy war
against Iran, which is providing
weapons to the Syrian govern-
ments counterinsurgency, along
with Hezbollah, the militant
Lebanese group that also has aided
Assads forces militarily.
Deputy Foreign Minister Faysal
Mikdad told the Associated Press
in an interview in Damascus that
such an attack would trigger
chaos in the entire world.
If individual countries want to
pursue aggressive and adventurous
policies, the natural answer ...
would be that Syria, which has
been fighting against terrorism
for almost three years, will also
defend itself against any interna-
tional attack, he added.
Assad told a Russian newspaper
that any military campaign
against his country was destined
to fail.
Its also unclear what U.S.
action would mean for relations
with Russia, which warned
Monday against the use of force
not sanctioned by the U.N.
Security Council, calling it a
crude violation of international
law.
Support for some sort of inter-
national military response was
likely to grow if it is conrmed
that Assads regime was responsi-
ble for the Aug. 21 attack in the
Damascus suburbs that activists
say killed hundreds of people. The
group Doctors Without Borders
put the death toll at 355.
U.S. Secretary of State John
Kerry said chemical weapons were
used in Syria and he accused
Assads regime of destroying evi-
dence. He said the U.S. has addi-
tional information about the
attack and will make it public in
the days ahead.
The indiscriminate slaughter of
civilians, the killing of women
and children and innocent
bystanders by chemical weapons
is a moral obscenity. By any stan-
dard, it is inexcusable and
despite the excuses and equivoca-
tions that some have manufactured
it is undeniable, said Kerry,
the highest-ranking U.S. ofcial
to conrm the attack.
This international norm can-
not be violated without conse-
quences, he said.
Assad has denied launching a
chemical attack, blaming the
rebels instead, and has authorized
a U.N. team of experts currently in
Syria to investigate, although the
U.S. said it was a step that came
too late to be credible.
U.N. at site of alleged chemical attack in Syria
By Matthew Lee
and Julie Pace
WASHINGTON Secretary of
State John Kerry on Monday out-
lined the clearest justication yet
for U.S. military action in Syria,
saying there was undeniable
evidence of a large-scale chemical
weapons attack, with intelligence
strongly signaling that Bashar
Assads regime was responsible.
Kerry, speaking to reporters at
the State Department, said last
weeks attack should shock the
conscience of the world.
The indiscriminate slaughter
of civilians, the killing of women
and children and innocent
bystanders by chemical weapons
is a moral obscenity. By any stan-
dard, it is inexcusable and
despite the excuses and equivoca-
tions that some have manufac-
tured it is undeniable, said
Kerry, the highest-ranking U.S.
ofcial to conrm the attack in
the Damascus suburbs that
activists say killed hundreds of
people.
This international norm can-
not be violated without conse-
quences, he added.
Ofcials said President Barack
Obama has not decided how to
respond to the use of deadly gases,
a move the White House said last
year would cross a red line. But
the U.S., along with allies in
Europe, appeared to be laying the
groundwork for the most aggres-
sive response since Syrias civil
war began more than two years
ago.
Two administration officials
said the U.S.
was expected
to make public
a more formal
determination
of chemical
weapons use
on Tuesday,
with an
announcement
of Obamas
response like-
ly to follow quickly. The ofcials
insisted on anonymity because
they were not authorized to pub-
licly discuss the internal delibera-
tions.
The international community
appeared to be considering action
that would punish Assad for
deploying deadly gases, not
sweeping measures aimed at oust-
ing the Syrian leader or strength-
ening rebel forces. The focus of
the internal debate underscores the
scant international appetite for a
large-scale deployment of forces
in Syria and the limited number of
other options that could signi-
cantly change the trajectory of the
conict.
We continue to believe that
theres no military solution here
thats good for the Syrian people,
and that the best path forward is a
political solution, State
Department spokeswoman Marie
Harf said. This is about the viola-
tion of an international norm
against the use of chemical
weapons and how we should
respond to that.
The Obama administration was
moving ahead even as a United
Nations team already on the
ground in Syria collected evidence
from last weeks attack.

Letter to the editor
By Michelle Carter
N
ews that the Sierra Rim re was
threatening the town of Tuolumne
City, east of Sonora in the
foothills along Highway 108, prompted us
to head up to check on the vacation cabin
in Long Barn that had been in our family
for nearly 40 years.
We arrived around 9 p.m. Sunday and,
although we could smell smoke, the stars
were out and we didnt notice much re-
related activity. We talked about playing
tennis and taking care of some cabin
chores the next day. But when we awoke
Monday morning, the usually brilliant blue
sky was an eerie yellow-gray and the sun
was a reball as it rose through the
Ponderosa and sugar pines. Our eyes were
stinging, and ash was settling on the cabin
deck.
Aglance at the Cal Fire website told us
that an evacuation advisory had been issued
for Twain Harte, across 108 from Tuolumne
City, and a major goal would be to stop the
blaze at the North Fork of the Tuolumne
River, south of 108. Aggravated winds,
which had been predicted for Sunday, hadnt
materialized but were possible again on
Monday.
For the vacation communities along 108
Sugar Pine, Sierra Village, Mi-Wuk,
Cold Springs and Long Barn Alicias
Sugar Shack is the go-to place for great
breakfasts and local gossip. We headed
down the mountain for information, and
Alicias didnt disappoint.
The highway was lined with re trucks
from the California Department of Forestry
and dozens of other cities as they gathered
at staging points along the road. We passed
a parade of trucks bearing the logos of
Fresno, Selma, Coalinga, Sunnyvale,
Santa Clara, Palo Alto and two trucks from
the city of San Francisco. We heard that the
citys Camp Mather was completely sur-
rounded by re but being held so far. Camp
Tuolumne, Berkeleys city camp, was lost.
Wherever there was space along 108,
huge at-bed rigs were
unloading bulldozers
which were heading
south on the peripheral
roads. Four rigs sat
empty and bare at the
entrance to the
OddFellows Park east of
Sierra Village. Armies of
blue PG&E trucks were
setting up staging sights in parking lots
where platoons of portable toilets had been
erected in the early morning hours. One
van had three huge maps taped to its side
with colored arrows directing activity.
Sleepy motels that are usually nearly
empty were boasting no-vacancy signs,
lled with re and utility crews.
Restaurants put out signs, Fire crews wel-
come; breakfast on us! or similar mes-
sages. The themes were all the same,
echoed by improvised banners homeown-
ers displayed: Thank you, reghters!
Alicias was crowded with customers
spilling out on the picnic tables under the
trees. Alicia Hartle was dishing out sticky
buns and ham-lled croissants and gallons
of coffee to locals who were prodding the
re crewmembers and volunteers who had
been on the re lines. The word was hope-
ful, even positive, for the towns along
108, with lots of urging to be ready.
Weve had our truck packed for four
days, said Alicia, who lives in Sugar Pine
not far behind the cafe. We can leave in a
moments notice if we have to, but until
then, well just be feeding people.
But there was an edge to her voice we had
not noticed before.
Two Sonora school teachers who live in
Soulsbyville, just west of Twain Harte,
were taking an unexpected day off. We
started school on Wednesday and had to
have rainy-day recesses inside because of
the smoke. So they just said to stay home
today and closed the school.
They had walked through their home with
a video camera the night before to have an
insurance record, just in case.
Abuilding contractor stopped by for cof-
fee on the way to move his heavy (and
expensive) table saws to his mothers
house in Sonora. He had volunteered cut-
ting brush for a rebreak over the weekend.
He said the re wasnt a hot one, which
apparently meant that it was burning
ground cover but not necessarily trees.
Thats what one patron called a good re,
and it appears there is such a thing.
The general aviation airport at Columbia,
just north of Sonora, was Ground Zero for
Cal Fire air operations. Atemporary air
trafc control center was set up on Friday
to direct the ow of air tankers and massive
reghting helicopters, and the cadre of
airport bums, who sit outside and watch
planes come and go, had nearly tripled in
size, according to a jogger who stopped to
see what was going on.
We headed back up the mountain to take
photos, room by room, and pack up a quilt
my grandmother had pieced, a framed
needlepoint my late mother-in-law had
stitched and a carved Indian Guides sign my
son had helped make as a child. Two of the
names on the sign have special meaning.
We searched for and found the
rolled-up building plans for the cabin, shut
down the utilities (except for the water!)
and headed home. We didnt want to be east
of Twain Harte if 108 was breached, which
would mean a trip over Sonora Pass and
back around to get back to the Peninsula.
And we didnt want to be part of the prob-
lem either.
Were hopeful, but we couldnt help look-
ing around to record a view that may never
be again.

Oddball economics, San Carlos style
Editor,
The San Carlos City Council recently
adopted signicant sewer rate increases to
address problems caused by years of under-
funding. At the time, some apartment own-
ers told us theyd have to raise rents to
compensate. This is understandable. It
would be odd for them not to try to pass on
increased costs, particularly since housing
is in short supply.
One San Carlos landlord recently told his
tenants their rents are going up $100 per
month, and that they could blame the City
of San Carlos government for this
increase.
Based on my analysis, the public and pri-
vate benets signicantly outweigh the
cost of the increased rates. Who wants raw
sewage on the street, or dumped into the
Bay?. Im a big believer in accountability,
though, so I dont mind being held respon-
sible for my role in upping his costs.
But $1,200 a year?
Sewer rates for the July 1, 2013 to June
30, 2014 period were increased by $170.22
per household (each rental unit is consid-
ered a household). That works out to
$14.19 per month.
The Council also approved raising rates
through June 30, 2016. But the property
owners explanation would still seem odd,
even assuming he wants to start charging
today for future hikes (which would also be
odd). Thats because the total approved
increase, by the third year, is $35.72 per
month.
In a free market economy property own-
ers have the legal right to charge whatever
they want for rent, and they are under no
obligation to justify changes (people dont
have to rent from them, either, and its the
resulting competitive tension which forces
prices to track costs).
But if they do offer an explanation, it
should at least be accurate. Circulating
incorrect information benets no one.

Near the fires front lines
Gale force
B
ehind every good man they say is a
good woman. Behind every great
newspaper is Gale.
Gales ofcial title at the Daily Journal is
something basic like ofce manager but it
doesnt do justice
to everything she
does manage or at
least juggle. Gale
is den mother,
birthday tracker,
guard dog, xer,
feeling soother,
condante, listen-
er, sugary treat
provider, organiz-
er, baby holder,
dog scratcher,
greeter, joker,
Sudoko player and
friend and thats just what she does within
the ofce. Outside she is wine pourer, award-
winning quilter, overseer of her in-home
Verde Lounge (a play on her last night) and
event planner, just to name a few.
She heads to small claims court on the
papers behalf with just as much aplomb as
she does diffusing irate callers and keeping
the crazy at bay. She can track down old
news articles without breaking a sweat,
understands when someone calls to report an
error in the Jumble, uncovers paper jams and
knows how to separate the wheat from the
chaff regardless the subject. She is equal
parts compassion and common sense, humor
and humanity. When someone gets married
or has a child, there is a shower or at least
a box of margarita glasses. When someone
loses a loved one, there are owers and hugs.
When someone is having a bad day, there are
appropriate amounts of swearing and catti-
ness directed at the cause. And the ofce hol-
iday gift exchange? Her gift is always the
one to nab.
She is, for lack of a more eloquent image,
the grease that keeps the wheels turning.
Others might sell the ads or write the stories
but wed be a little less together without her
behind-the-scenes efforts. This more than
explains why certain people in certain coun-
ty departments who will remain nameless
often suggest with all seriousness that
they will make her a better offer to come
work for them. Just let them try.
If its Gales day off or God forbid she take
an extended vacation, nobody is getting a
birthday card or mini cupcakes. The right
call might not make it to the right ear. And
while all of us here are friendly and capable
on the phone, Id be hard pressed to think
any of us is as welcoming and helpful as the
Gale force holding court at the front desk.
But now that force is looking to blow out
of the Daily Journal and today in fact marks
her last day among the rag-tag Daily Journal
crew. Gale claims it is not for a lack of love
and appreciation. Something about planning
a daughters wedding and traveling and quilt-
ing and enjoying her retirement to the full
extent she deserves. True all and nothing Im
willing to argue with although I did jok-
ingly threaten to chain her leg to the desk
chair.
Its just that we will all miss her so much.
Or, at least I will.
This actually marks the third time Ive
devoted a column solely to Gale which puts
her in good company with jury duty, my
punk dogs, Halloween and coffee as subjects

Big movers
By Matthew Craft
NEW YORK The stock market
sagged Monday after the Obama
administration ratcheted up pressure
against Syria.
Secretary of State John Kerry said
there was undeniable evidence of a
large-scale chemical weapons attack in
Syria last week, and his remarks sug-
gested that the administration was edg-
ing closer to a military response.
Major indexes had been holding
onto slight gains on Monday until the
last hour of trading. Thats when
Kerrys televised talk appeared to jolt
it lower, said Stephen J. Carl, head
equity trader at the Williams Capital
Group.
The S&P 500 index ended with a loss
of 6.72 points, or 0.4 percent, at
1, 656. 78. The index was up two
points just before Kerry began reading
his statement.
The Dow Jones industrial average
fell 64.05 points, or 0.4 percent, to
close at 14,946.46. The Nasdaq com-
posite slipped 0.22 of a point, or 0.01
percent, to 3,657.57.
Ahandful of corporate deals gave the
market a lift in the early going. Amgen
surged following its announcement
late Sunday that the biotech giant
plans to buy Onyx Pharmaceuticals for
$10.4 billion. The acquisition would
give Amgen three approved cancer
treatments and several other potential
drugs.
In economic news, the government
reported that orders for long-lasting
manufactured goods plunged 7.3 per-
cent last month, the steepest drop in
nearly a year. Demand for commercial
aircraft sank and businesses spent less
on computers and electrical equipment.
Jack Ablin, the chief investment
officer at BMO Private Bank in
Chicago, said its likely that investors
are looking past the one bad economic
report because so many major events
loom ahead.
The Federal Reserve will start a two-
day meeting Sept. 17, during which
ofcials will discuss phasing out sup-
port for the economy. After that,
Germany holds national elections that
could change how the region handles
rescue loans for troubled countries.
The U.S. Congress returns from its
summer break next week and will take
up a new budget before the scal year
starts on Oct. 1.
These issues are big enough to tran-
scend daily data, Ablin said.

California vies for new space industry
SAN FRANCISCO As several new private ventures
to take people on trips to space come closer to becom-
ing reality, California lawmakers are racing other states
to woo the new space companies with cushy incentives.
They are debating a bill now in Sacramento that would
insulate manufacturers of spaceships and parts suppliers
from liability should travelers get injured or killed on a
voyage, except in cases such as gross negligence or
intentional wrongdoing. Last year, the state enacted a
law that shields space tourism companies such as Sir
Richard Bransons Virgin Galactic from similar law-
suits.
Were still in the edgling part of space ight and
space travel, and we need people to be able to take a
risk, said California Republican Sen. Steve Knight,
who introduced both state bills.
Several other states including Texas, Florida,
Virginia and New Mexico have passed similar laws,
hoping to lure newcomers to the more than $200 billion
commercial space ight industry.
Californias latest bill faces opposition from several
lawmakers who say the state should not relax its stan-
dards since tourists should expect the ships they use to
ascend to the heavens are safe. But space tourism com-
panies say the protection is necessary if the state wants
to attract and retain the industrys business.
Instagram, other sites go down
NEW YORK Amazons unit that runs Web servers
for other companies had problems Sunday that coincid-
ed with outages or slowdowns on several popular web-
sites.
AirBnB says its site was one of those affected. Other
services that were slow or unavailable included
Instagram and Twitters Vine video-sharing application.
Online home rental service AirBnB tweeted at 4:32
p.m. ETthat it was one of several websites and apps that
were temporarily down because Amazon server prob-
lems.
Business briefs
By Christopher S. Rugaber
WASHINGTON Orders for long-
lasting U.S. factory goods fell sharply
last month as demand for commercial
aircraft plummeted and businesses
spent less on computers and electrical
equipment.
Manufacturing continues to struggle
and could prevent economic growth
from picking up in the July-September
quarter.
Orders for durable goods plunged 7.3
percent in July, the Commerce
Department said Monday. Its the
steepest drop in nearly a year.
Excluding the volatile transportation
category, orders fell just 0.6 percent.
Both declines followed three straight
months of increases.
Durable goods are items meant to last
at least three years.
Economists tend to focus on orders
for so-called core capital goods. Those
orders fell 3.3 percent, but the drop fol-
lowed four straight months of gains.
Core capital goods are considered a
good measure of businesses condence
in the economy. They include items
that point to expansion such as
machinery, computers and heavy trucks
while excluding volatile orders for
aircraft and defense.
The big drop suggests the third quar-
ter is off to a weaker start than some
had hoped. While economists cau-
tioned that its just one month of data,
a few lowered their growth estimates
for the July-September quarter after see-
ing the durable goods report.
Economists at Barclays Capital now
predict third-quarter growth at an annu-
al rate of 1.9 percent, down from their
previous forecast of 2.1 percent.

NEWYORK J.C. Penneys largest
investor and former board member is
bailing out.
William Ackman of Pershing Square
Capital Management is selling his
nearly 18 percent stake, or 39.1 mil-
lion shares, in the struggling retailer,
according to regulatory documents
led late Monday.
The move comes two weeks after
Ackman resigned from J.C. Penneys
board as part of a deal to resolve an
unusually public battle between the
activist investor and the struggling
department store operator.
The news sent Penney shares down
nearly 3 percent to $13 per share in
after hours-trading
after closing the
regular session
down 15 cents to
$13.35. Penneys
shares have lost
nearly 70 percent of
their value since
early February 2012
when investor
enthusiasm over
former CEO Ron Johnsons retail
strategy pushed the stock to around
$43. That includes a 36 percent drop in
value so far this year.
Some analysts say they were sur-
prised by Ackmans plan to sell his
shares so quickly.
I didnt expect it to be so fast, but I
can understand that he wants to put it
behind him, said New York-based
retail consultant Walter Loeb.
Belus Capital Advisors CEO Brian
Sozzi agreed noting, (Ackman) wants
to cut bait and move on to something
else.
Citigroup, the sole underwriter of
the shares, will be shopping the stock
around to prospective buyers. A price
range wasnt revealed in the prospec-
tus.
Ackmans sell-off comes as the
beleaguered chain is trying to recover
from a botched transformation plan
spearheaded by its former CEO that led
to disastrous financial results. The
board ousted Johnson in April after
only 17 months on the job and rehired
Mike Ullman, who had been CEO of
the retailer from 2004 to late 2011.

TOKYO In a shabby back-alley
office in Shibuya, a Tokyo district
known for youth culture and tech ven-
tures, defectors from corporate Japan
are hard at work for a little known com-
pany they fervently believe will be the
countrys next big manufacturing suc-
cess.
Like a startup anywhere in the world,
its bare bone setup crackles with an
optimistic energy and urgent sense of
purpose. Whats different, for Japan, is
that this startups talent is drawn from
the ranks of famous companies such as
Mitsubishi, Michelin and Nissan.
Kohshi Kuwahara, 26, worked for
more than two years at electronics
giant Panasonic Corp. before hopping
to Terra Motors Corp., a little know
venture that pays far less but is out to
conquer the world with its stylish elec-
tric scooters. As with his colleagues at
Terra, he resiled from the hidebound
culture of big Japanese companies and
felt a deep sense of frustration at their
eclipse by rivals such as South Koreas
Samsung and Americas Apple.
If youre stuck in a system that pro-
motes just by seniority, its living a
slow death like animals on a farm,
said Kuwahara. I wanted to be in a
tough competitive place.

Carlmonts Marcus Farhad
takes over the Scots program
as a rst-year varsity coach.
Not that he doesnt have any
experience: he was the co-
head coach of the
Scots frosh-soph
program last year and
spent two seasons
as Sacred Heart
Preps frosh-soph head
man.
Now, he is the face of
the Scots.
Its really exciting,
Farhad said. Its something
Ive been waiting for. Im
really excited for the season.
The kids are buying slowly
but surely.
Farhad has his work cut out
for him. The Scots are coming
off a 1-9 season and went win-
less in the Lake Division in
2012. Unlike a lot of rst-
year coaches, however,
Farhad shouldnt have as
tough a time bringing the
Scots back to respectability.

things to ponder.

SANTACLARA All week long, Kendall
Hunter peppered fellow San Francisco run-
ning back Anthony Dixon about how he
looked in practice how fast did he look?
No more questions necessary after the
burst Hunter showed
Sunday night, a darting
15-yard gain during the
49ers third series of the
rst quarter that resulted
in a 5-yard touchdown
pass from Colin
Kaepernick to Quinton
Patton on the way to a
34-14 preseason win
against Minnesota.
Hes looking quick.
He was showing that burst up in the hole
during the week and he was coming back to
me, How I look, how I look, do I look
fast? Dixon said.
I said, Yeah, bro, you got it, baby,
youre good, I cant wait to see you go. We
all rally around each other and play (for)
each other. That was what he was asking me
all week. I saw it and I was expecting him to
have a good game.
Indeed, Hunter is looking plenty swift
not to mention fresh after working tire-
lessly to return following surgery on a torn
left Achilles tendon that ended his season in

NEW YORK For years and
years, a first-round victory by
Venus Williams at a major tourna-
ment would hardly merit a men-
tion.
She is, after all, a seven-time
Grand Slam singles champion.
Shes been the runner-up another
seven times.
She was ranked No. 1, owns
Olympic gold medals, and is sec-
ond to her younger sister Serena
among active women in several
key categories, including Grand
Slam match wins, with 215.
And yet nowadays, at age 33,
two years removed from being
diagnosed with an autoimmune
disease that saps energy, hampered
much of this season by a bad lower
back, and her ranking down to
60th, Williams entered Day 1 at
the 2013 U.S. Open having won a
total of three matches over the
past ve Grand Slam tournaments.
Plus, she was facing 12th-seeded
Kirsten Flipkens, who was a semi-
nalist at Wimbledon last month
and beat Williams on a hard court
this month.
Looking very much like the
player she used to be, Williams
smacked serves at up to 120 mph,
returned superbly, covered the
court well enough to hit a handful
of swinging volley winners, and
beat Flipkens 6-1, 6-2 Monday to
reach the second round at Flushing
Meadows.
Flipkens, for one, was not sur-
prised in the least to see Williams
play that way. To Flipkens, this
was not an upset no matter what
the rankings indicate.
If Venus is there if shes t ,
if shes focused shes a top-10
player, Flipkens said.
Everybody who knows a little bit
of the game of tennis can see that.
Today, she was like a top-10 play-
er.
Williams, who topped the WTA
rankings in 2002, hasnt cracked
the top 10 since she was No. 9 in
March 2011. She hasnt been past
the third round at a Grand Slam
tournament since a fourth-round
exit at Wimbledon later that year.
Indeed, Williams lost in the rst
round in two of her previous four
appearances at majors, including
at the French Open in May; she sat
out Wimbledon for the only time
in her career in June.
DETROIT Coco Crisp and
Daric Barton each drove in two
runs, and the Oakland Athletics
beat Miguel Cabrera and the
Detroit Tigers 8-6 on Monday
night.
Cabrera hit his 43rd homer, bol-
stering his pursuit of another
Triple Crown, but Barton had a
tiebreaking RBI single in
Oaklands two-run sixth inning.
Crisp also had a solo homer during
his three-hit performance.
A.J. Griffin (11-9) earned his
first win since July 29 despite
allowing four runs and seven hits
in ve-plus innings. The right-
hander was 0-2 with a 3.47 ERAi n
his previous four starts.
Omar Infante and Victor
Martinez also homered for the AL
Central-leading Tigers, who had
won three in a row. Martinez went
4 for 5 and Torii Hunter had two
hits.
Cabrera went deep in the fth,
sending a 3-1 pitch from Grifn
over the wall in right for a two-run
shot that tied it at 4. He leads the
ALwith a .359 batting average and
130 RBIs, but he trailed Baltimore
slugger Chris Davis for the home
run lead by three.
Oakland responded in the sixth,
jumping all over reliever Jose
Alvarez (1-4). Barton, who was
called up from Triple-A
Sacramento earlier in the day, had
the last of three consecutive sin-
gles to open the inning, driving in
Nate Freiman. Crisp added an RBI
single.
Alberto Callaspo added a run-
scoring single against Al
Alburquerque in the seventh and
Jed Lowries RBI double in the
eighth made it 8-4.
Martinez connected against
Sean Doolittle in the eighth, mak-
ing it 8-5 with a leadoff drive for
his 11th homer. After a flyout,
Doolittle was replaced by Ryan
Cook, who loaded the bases with
two outs on two singles and a
walk. But Cook got out of the jam
by striking out Hunter on three
pitches.
Grant Balfour allowed an
unearned run in the ninth on Matt
Tuiasosopos grounder before n-
ishing for his 33rd save.
Oakland manager Bob Melvin
made an unusual decision after Dan
Otero threw two balls to Cabrera
with runners on the corners and
two out in the seventh. Melvin had
Otero finish off an intentional
walk, putting the tying run on
base, and Doolittle got Prince
Fielder to y out to center to end
the threat.
Anibal Sanchez got the start for
the Tigers and allowed four runs
and ve hits in ve innings. He
struck out six and walked three.
NOTES: Crisp also made a div-
ing catch in right-center to rob
pinch hitter Tuiasosopo of extra
bases in the eighth. ... Oakland
placed RF Josh Reddick on the 15-
day disabled list with a sprained
right wrist. Reddick sprained the
wrist on Sunday. Barton took
Reddicks place on the roster.
Oakland also designated RHP Pat
Neshek for assignment.

Oakland out-muscles Detroit
DENVER Todd Helton home-
red to move within three hits of
2,500, and the Colorado Rockies
beat the San Francisco Giants 6-1
on Monday night.
Juan Nicasio tossed six shutout
innings and added an RBI single,
and Charlie Blackmon also home-
red for the Rockies.
Buster Posey singled and
reached base for the 49th straight
game against Colorado.
The Rockies began a nine-game,
10-day homestand with a strong
performance against lefty Barry
Zito (4-10), who has struggled
away from home this season. His
numbers didnt improve in his
short outing at Coors Field.
Zito allowed ve runs and nine
hits and struck out one in four
innings in his second start since
being put back into the rotation.
He is 0-8 with a 9.61 ERA on the
road this season.
He worked out of trouble in the
rst inning before the Rockies got
to him in the second.
Nolan Arenado led off with a
bloop single one of his three
hits and Helton crushed a 1-1
curveball into the Rockies bullpen
to give Colorado a 2-0 lead. It was
Heltons ninth homer of the sea-
son and the 363rd of his 17-year
career.
Blackmon, who entered the
game in the second inning for
Dexter Fowler, led off the third
with his fourth homer to give the
Rockies a 3-0 lead. Colorado
tacked on two more runs in the
fourth on a bases-loaded single by
Nicasio and a ground out by
Blackmon.
The Giants got a scare when
right elder Hunter Pence crashed
into the wall trying to track down
Michael Cuddyers triple in the
first inning. Pence lay on the
warning track before San
Franciscos trainers came out to
tend to him. After a brief examina-
tion he stayed in the game.
Pence and the Giants couldnt do
much against Nicasio (8-6), who
tied a season high with nine
strikeouts and allowed four hits.
He worked out of a bases-loaded
jam in the rst inning and pitched
around two hit-batters before leav-
ing after 95 pitches.
Nicasio nished his night by
striking out Brandon Crawford
with runners on rst and third to
end the sixth.
The Giants spoiled the shutout
attempt on Joaquin Arias two-out
RBI double off Jeff Francis in the
ninth.
NOTES: Fowler left with a left
lateral knee bruise. He is day to
day. ... The outfield sprinklers
came on briey while the Giants
were in the field in the fourth
inning.

late November last year.
Does Hunter feel quicker on his feet after
spending more than half a year rehabilitat-
ing and waiting?
Well just see, he said with a smile. A
lot of guys came to me saying, You look
faster. I think they havent seen me in a
while.
It was hard enough not to be on the eld
with the NFC champions, and even more
difcult to miss playing in the Super Bowl.
Only cleared for full practice activity on
Aug. 10, Hunter had three carries for 13
yards in his first preseason appearance
against the Vikings yet just being part of
13 snaps at Candlestick Park meant more
than the results for Frank Gores likely
backup.
It felt good just to be back out there,
Hunter said. I feel real good, just to be back
out there and able to play again.
Everythings starting to come back. Ive
got to give it up to the offensive linemen.
They made a hole for me and let me get that
15.
Hunter, a fourth-round draft pick in 2011
out of Oklahoma State who turns 25 next
month, had 72 carries for 371 yards and two
touchdowns last season in an increased role
as the teams second-leading rusher behind
Gore.
Then, all of the momentum he had gained
was halted when he got hurt at New Orleans
on Nov. 25.
In spite of the injury and missing the nal
ve regular-season games, he still wound up
ranked third on the team in yards rushing
and sixth in the NFL with a 5.2-yards-per-
carry average before going on season-end-
ing injured reserve.
The 5-foot-7, 199-pound Hunter tried to
remain upbeat, and having a jokester such
as Dixon around certainly didnt hurt.
Dixon had no doubts Hunter would return
to his top form and, now, they both want
to keep a good thing going right into the
Sept. 8 season opener at home against
Green Bay. It will be a rematch of the NFC
division playoffs last January at
Candlestick Park.
Dixon rooted for a big run by Hunter in
his preseason debut.
We were talking about it before it hap-
pened, Dixon said. I said, The only thing
youve got to do is just get that rst lick and
youre going to be good. I guess once he
got it, he was good.
Coach Jim Harbaugh noted how Hunters
teammates are talking up his speed and how
he might be faster than before he got hurt.
He looked like it, yeah, Harbaugh said.
Hes looked like it in practice as well. Al ot
of the fellas have been talking about how he
seems faster. So, I cant say that I disagree
with that.
Notes: Quarterback Scott Tolzien was
among ve players waived Monday, a day
after Harbaugh announced Colt McCoy had
earned the job as Kaepernicks backup. Wi t h
Tolzien out of the mix, newly signed veter-
an Seneca Wallace and rookie B.J. Daniels
are left competing to be the third QB. ... The
other departed players are RB D.J. Harper,
LB Joe Holland, G Al Netter and P Colton
Schmidt. The moves left San Franciscos
roster at 85 players, with 10 more cuts to
make by Tuesday afternoons deadline.

HUNTER
By Josh Dubow
OAKLAND Reggie McKenzie has spent
most of his first two years as Oakland
Raiders general manager tearing down a
team mired in years of struggles.
Only a dozen or so players who were on
the team at the end of 2011 are expected
back when this season opens as McKenzie
has cut ties with failed former rst-round
picks and high-priced acquisitions.
With about 40 percent of the salary cap
tied up in accelerated bonuses from those
jettisoned players, it looks as if it will take
at least until Year 3 of the rebuilding project
for the Raiders to be a contender once again.
With major questions at quarterback, both
lines of scrimmage and receiver, this years
Raiders appear to have a better shot at the
No. 1 draft pick than ending a 10-year play-
off drought.
Despite those underwhelming prognosti-
cations, McKenzie heads into 2013 with
optimism about the direction of the fran-
chise.
Im not curious, Im eager, McKenzie
said. Im very eager. Im condent in some
areas, but its exciting to me. When you add
so many new guys, you want to see how
they mesh. You want to see how some of
them develop. Even regarding some of our
new coaches, you want to see how that mesh
comes. So far its been good. Im eager and
excited.
Here are ve things to watch in under
McKenzie and coach Dennis Allen:
PRYOR PACKAGE: While Matt Flynn
went into camp looking like the best
option to start at quarterback this season,
Terrelle Pryor outplayed him in the presea-
son and is sure to get playing time this year
even if he isnt the starter. While Dennis
Allen has not yet chosen his No. 1 quarter-
back, he has committed at least to using a
special package for Pryor to exploit his ath-
leticism and big-play ability. Pryor has the
speed to run the read-option and has grown
comfortable in the pistol formation. He
reworked his mechanics in the offseason as
he tries to prove he can be a capable pocket
passer as well as a running threat.
LEAKY LINE: An already suspect offen-
sive line got considerably worse when left
tackle Jared Veldheer underwent surgery for a
torn triceps that is expected to sideline him
for at least half the season. Without their
best blocker at the most important line
position, the Raiders had to scramble and
are using Alex Barron and rookie Menelik
Watson in that spot. Barron was a rst-
round bust in St. Louis who hadnt even
made a team the past two seasons. Watson
has played just two years of football in his
life and has never played left tackle. C
Stefen Wisniewski is a capable anchor for
the line, but questions remain about the
effectiveness of RTKhalif Barnes and a rota-
tion of guards.
GO-TO RECEIVER: The Raiders went
into training camp trying to nd a go-to
receiver and that search will continue into
the season. Denarius Moore showed signs
of being that guy as a rookie but regressed
last season and acknowledged his con-
dence took a hit. Rod Streater, a pleasant
surprise as an undrafted free agent last year,
is a capable possession receiver but lacks
game-breaking skills. Jacoby Ford has bat-
tled injuries most of his career; he can
stretch the eld when healthy and has the
versatility to excel on reverses and the
screen game. Rookie Bryce Butler emerged
as a bright spot in camp but is still raw.
CONTRACT YEARS: A number of key
Raiders are entering the nal year of their
contracts and their performance this season
will help determine whether Oakland tries to
lock them up long term, places the fran-
chise tag on them or lets them test the open
market. Among those players are RB Darren
McFadden, who hopes a return to a power-
running game revives his career after he
averaged a career-low 3.3 yards per carry.
Others players in that same situation
include Veldheer, Ford and DE Lamarr
Houston, who is being counted on to lead
the pass rush after he moved from left to
right end.
HAYDENS HEALTH: CB D.J. Hayden
arrived with many questions after being
drafted 12th overall despite the fact his col-
lege career was cut short by a near-fatal prac-
tice injury. The Raiders are still waiting for
the answers as Hayden missed the rst two
exhibition games recovering from follow-
up surgery in May and looked rusty in his
rst exhibition game.

Not only do they have a number of key
pieces returning, the varsity will be infused
with a number of players from last years
frosh-soph team that went 9-1.
That doesnt mean the transition will be
easy.
The game is a lot faster on varsity,
Farhad said. I think the [varsity returners],
with their experience, will help our team
prepare. I think the seniors really want to
win and theyre really pushing guys.
Carlmont returns most of its offensive
backeld from last season. Quarterback DJ
James was having a good year in 2012
before going down midway through the sea-
son with a knee injury. Farhad said he is
healthy heading into 2013, but the coach-
ing staff is taking a cautious approach to his
return.
Were easing his way into things. Hes
been working on the sidelines with our ath-
letic trainer, Farhad said. (But) weve had
him throwing the ball around.
Joining James in the backeld is running
back Nick Simon a big, bruising back
who should spearhead the Scots rushing
attack.
Hes a really fast, strong kid, Farhad
said. He worked out tremendously hard over
the summer to get more muscle.
Joining him will be junior Dominic
Blanks. Blanks excelled during the summer
last year for the frosh-soph team, but during
one of the rst practices of 2012, Blanks
broke his femur, knocking him out for the
entire season. Farhad said hes completely
recovered and cleared to play this year and
he is expecting big things from him.
When we had him in summer last year, he
was destroying teams (in scrimmages and
camps), Farhad said.
The offensive and defensive lines will
need some rebuilding, but Farhad is expect-
ing a couple of newcomers to help solidify
the lines. Anthony Armijo and Lev Gameley
both excelled on the lines for the frosh-
soph team last year. Farhad is especially
anxious to see how Gameley adjusts to the
varsity level.
Hes ferocious (at defensive tackle). On
defense, he was deadly (last year), Farhad
said. Hes very strong and very athletic for
that position.
Despite the high school game going to
more spread offensive attacks, Farhad said
he is more traditional when it comes to
football. He wants to run the ball, but real-
izes he also has to adapt and throw the ball.
Were pretty smash mouth, but I realize
in this day and age with all these new
offense, we do have to mix it up a little,
Farhad said. Were going to probably be
60-40 (rush to pass).

of El Camino football, but one thing that
has stayed consistent is its eld. As mem-
orable, and history-rich as that eld was,
there was no arguing the fact that it was time
for an upgrade.
This even happening is historical,
Turner said.
With a new eld comes a new team, and
this years version of the El Camino Colts
appears ready to get back to the top of the
heap in the Peninsula Athletic Leagues
Lake division.
After taking the title in 2011, the Colts
struggled to defend their crown in 2012 n-
ishing 5-5 overall and 3-2 in their division.
But a year later, the young core featured last
season looks developed and ready to burst
onto the scene in 2013.
If the Colts plan on making any noise
this year, their offensive line will have to
be a major part of it. Led by three-year
starter Mario Popoca and all-league player
Darnel Salcedo, the El Camino offensive
line returns all ve starters from last sea-
son.
Last year, our experienced guys were our
skill group. This year its our lineman,
Turner said. But Ive got some running
backs that can play.
That might be an understatement. Leading
Turners arsenal of running backs is do-it-
all offensive weapon Brandon Gip. Gip
brings athleticism and speed to the gridiron
that might be exponentially greater with
the addition of the new turf eld. Joining
him in the backeld is Josh Paed. Paed
missed half of last season, but is set to be a
main cog in the Colts offensive machine
this year.
On the forefront of a strong defense is
John Turner, an undersized linebacker who
brings grit and toughness to the position
unparalleled by many high school football
players. He leads an athletic defense that
also features Gip, Paed, Popoca and many
other two-way players.
The only uncertainty regarding the Colts
outlook this season might be the most
important position on the eld quarter-
back.
Incumbent starter Christian Santos played
well last season as a junior, but is being
pushed in practice by newcomer Mickey
Keegan. Keegan possesses all the tools
needed to be a standout high school quarter-
back, but lacks the experience and the han-
dle of the offense that Santos has.
They both have their strong suits, and
hopefully I can gure something out in the
next week and a half, Turner said. As of
right now its really tough to say who our
starting quarterback is.
If there is one thing Turner is preaching to
his team, its the art of playing with no
regrets and ingraining new memories and
new history into the schools new turf eld.
Going all out and having no regrets,
Turner said. Thats what were hanging our
hat on.

Hearings begin in
Americas Cup scandal
An international jury on Monday began
hearings into what could be one of the
biggest scandals in the 162-year history of
the Americas Cup.
The panel, meeting in San Francisco, is
investigating defending champion Oracle
Team USA for illegally modifying two of
three prototype boats it sailed in four
warmup regattas last year and earlier this
year.
The jury held a hearing Monday for Oracle
Team USA employees being investigated
under Rule 69 of the Racing Rules of
Sailing, which deals with gross misconduct.
That hearing is expected to continue
Tuesday.
The syndicate itself faces a hearing
Thursday dealing with Protocol Article 60,
which is aimed at protecting the reputation
of the Americas Cup.
The jury could decide to punish individual
employees or the syndicate itself. If the jury
punishes the team, the sanction could be
unprecedented, ranging from forfeiture of
races in the best-of-17 Americas Cup match
against Emirates Team New Zealand begin-
ning Sept. 7 on San Francisco Bay, or dis-
qualication.
While its unlikely the jury would give
powerhouse Oracle the heave-ho from the
regatta, forfeiting any races against the
strong Kiwis would be a huge setback.

Anthony Gordon follow in those
prolic footsteps? My sources
say yes. I was talking to a refer-
ee during a scrimmage at
Burlingame last month who said
he saw Gordon during a 7-on-7
passing league camp shredding
the opposition.
Will South City have enough
offense to keep up with the rest of
the Bay Division? The Warriors
have always hung their hat on a
stiing defense, which will go a
long way to keeping them com-
petitive in the Bay. The big ques-
tion is how will the offense fare?
They lost a number of playmakers
from last years 7-4 squad, so it
remains to be seen who will step
up and make plays this season.
Their defense should keep them in
games, but it will be up to the
offense to win those contests.
Who will be the dark horse in
the Bay? Id keep my eye on
Sequoia. Coach Rob Poulos told
me a couple weeks ago that with
more than 60 players on the var-
sity roster, he will nally be able
to have an offense and a defense
comprised of one-way players. He
said he plans to designate a hand-
ful of players who will see duty
on both sides of the ball. The
Cherokees have steadily gone
from a near laughingstock to one
of the better programs in the PAL.
Ocean Division
Will it be one-and-done for
Capuchino? After winning their
rst outright division title in
school history with the Lake
Division championship in 2012,
the Mustangs move up to the
Ocean Division this season.
It could be a bumpy ride. Gone
to graduation is record-setting
running back Justin Ewing, as
well as their starting quarterback
Paea Dauwe and tight end/line-
backer Zach Khotz. They will also
be breaking in a new coach in
Josh Horton, who joins the
Mustangs from Texas by way of
Monte Vista-Danville. The
defense could carry the Mustangs
in the early part of the season
but, much like South City, the
Cap offense will have to produce
if the Mustangs want to remain
competitive.
Who benets most from
move to Ocean? Aragon and
Burlingame have both been sta-
ples in the Bay Division for
years, but both nd themselves in
the Ocean together for the rst
time. The move should be bene-
cial for both, but look for the
Panthers to take advantage.
Despite being smaller both
size-wise and roster-wise in the
Bay for years the Panthers
should have what it takes to chal-
lenge for the Ocean champi-
onship. Another factor favoring
Burlingame? The Panthers have a
ve-game winning streak against
Aragon.
Potential breakout star in the
Ocean? Keep your eye on San
Mateo running back Line Latu. As
a sophomore last year, he rushed
for more than 1,000 yards and
scored 13 touchdowns.
Ayear older and presumably
bigger, look for Latu to eclipse
those marks this year. With the
wiggle to make defenders miss
and the speed to run past defens-
es, the Bearcats could go a long
way, led by Latu.
Lake Division
Is there a favorite in this divi-
sion? The Lake, while considered
the lowest of the three-division
PAL, may be the most competi-
tive of the three. With Capuchino
and San Mateo having moved up
to the Ocean and Jefferson and
Kings Academy moving to the
Lake, El Camino has to be among
the favorites to win the division
championship. In the last four
years, the Colts have compiled a
division record of 12-7-1 and
have kept themselves in the mix
for the title each of those years,
nishing as co-champs and earn-
ing the divisions lone Central
Coast Section berth in 2011.
That doesnt mean the Colts
have a clear path to the crown.
Every team in the Lake is capable
of winning the championship.
One stumble in league play could
have dire consequences, however.
Which team could surprise?
Watch out for Kings Academy.
Although thin roster-wise, coach
William Gittens squad could be
the fastest team in the division.
Quarterback Dominic Sabel, a jun-
ior, enters his second season as
starter and Gittens said he is much
more mature this season. Gittens
said he plans to get his playmak-
ers into space and let them go.
Serra and CSM
Do the Padres have what it
takes to challenge for a WCAL
and CCS crown? Despite losing a
lot to graduation, the Padres have
simply reloaded like they do
every season. With Notre Dame-
commit Matt Dickerson anchor-
ing the defense and a slew of run-
ning backs returning, led by
Kilepi Lataimua, the Padres
should, once again, be in the mix
for title of best team in CCS.
Will CSM nally get over the
hump? The Bulldogs have become
one of the best community col-
lege teams in the country, a team
loaded with Division I college
talent. That being said, a NorCal
Conference title keeps eluding the
Bulldogs. Not since 2009 have
CSM captured the conference
crown, but as has been the case
every year since then, the
Bulldogs will be in the mix for
that title, as well as the Northern
California and state crown.
Like every other community
college team, the Bulldogs will
deal with a slew of turnover at
several positions. The biggest
question is who will trigger their
spread-and-shred offense, as last
years co-starters Jon Willis
and Blake Plattsmeier have
both moved on.
So there you have it. Afew
questions to whet your football
appetite until the season starts.
None of these questions will be
answered until the end of the year,
however, and in the meantime, a
plethora of other questions will
certainly pop up as the season
goes along.

oppose Planned Parenthoods mission is
irrelevant to your consideration, wrote
Planned Parenthoods attorney W. Russell
Davis in a recent letter to the council regard-
ing the appeal. You must view us as you
would any medical clinic. Just as with any
use approval that runs with its land, your
decision is based on the use, not the user.
The appeal is largely based on the appel-
lants disapproval of Planned Parenthoods
mission. That political or philosophical
disagreement should not enter into the dis-
cussion.
The appeal, made on May 17 by Gregory
Weiler, the attorney representing Rosa
Gomez, Rolando Delgadillo, Vera Priego,
Teresita Valido and Respect Life South San
Francisco, states that adding Planned
Parenthood violates the California
Environmental Quality Act, would cause
parking problems, violates zoning and
would cause constant pro-life protests on
location. All together there were 14 con-
cerns.
The Planning Commission had deter-
mined the project was categorically exempt
under CEQA.
Planned Parenthood is the biggest abor-
tion business in America, Valido wrote in a
May 11 letter to the John Penna, former
mayor and the owner of the space in which
Planned Parenthood would be housed. They
have repeatedly been caught covering up
child abuse and statutory rape, and aiding in
sex slave trafficking. They mislead
teenagers into pornography, kill babies,
damage women and divide families. They
deceitfully present themselves as a much-
needed health clinic. Yet the downtown
Grand Avenue area already has nine actual
health clinics.
The new three-story 7,846-square-foot
clinic will not provide surgical abortion but
will issue emergency contraceptives, con-
traceptives and provide sexually transmit-
ted disease testing and treatment, Planned
Parenthood Mar Monte spokeswoman Lupe
Rodriguez said previously. Planned
Parenthood does not plan to offer chemical
abortion, or RU-486, but it could be added
without returning to the city for zoning
approval, Rodriguez said previously.
Notably, back in June, Penna power
washed a retired priest and another promi-
nent abortion foe in downtown South San
Francisco in front of his building where the
Planned Parenthood was approved by the
Planning Commission. Penna said at the
time that he turned the pressure washer on
the retired Catholic priest because the father
came at him with a cane in a threatening
manner. It is disputed whether it was an act
of self-defense or an attempt to quash the
pro-life groups First Amendment rights.
The council will meet 6 p.m. Wednesday
at Council Chambers, located at 33 Arroyo
Drive in South San Francisco.

WASHINGTON Aconservative group is
launching a radio ad challenging Senate
Republican leader Mitch McConnell to
oppose any money for President Barack
Obamas health care law even if it means
triggering a government shutdown.
The Senate Conservatives Fund is spend-
ing nearly $50,000 on the 60-second com-
mercial that will begin airing on Tuesday in
Kentucky, where McConnell is locked in a
tough race for a sixth term. The GOP leader
faces both a primary rival, businessman
Matt Bevin, and a Democratic foe, Secretary
of State Alison Lundergan Grimes.
Republicans in Congress can stop
Obamacare by refusing to fund it, but
Senator Mitch
McConnell refuses to
lead the ght, says the
ad which also makes a ref-
erence to a recent cam-
paign embarrassment for
McConnell.
The Obamacare bill
stinks, and holding your
nose wont make it any
better, the commercial
says.
Earlier this month, audio of a Jan. 9 tele-
phone conversation revealed that Jesse
Benton, McConnells campaign manager,
said he was holding my nose while work-
ing for the candidate. Benton later said in a
statement that he believes in McConnell
and is 100 percent committed to his re-elec-
tion.
The Associated Press obtained a text of
the conservative groups ad in advance.
The Senate Conservatives Fund, which
was founded by former South Carolina
Republican Sen. Jim DeMint, is spending
close to $200,000 on radio ads in six other
states calling on GOP senators to refuse to
fund the health care law. The groups targets
are North Carolinas Richard Burr, South
Carolinas Lindsey Graham, Lamar
Alexander of Tennessee, Johnny Isakson of
Georgia, Mississippis Thad Cochran and
Arizonas Jeff Flake.
The issue has divided Republicans, with
House and Senate GOP leaders wary of the
political impact of any government shut-
down but tea party conservatives deter-
mined to undermine the health care law.
The federal 2013 scal year ends Sept. 30.
New money must be appropriated by then to
avoid a shutdown of countless government
ofces and agencies.
The radio ad comes as another conserva-
tive group, the Madison Project, launched a
radio spot on Monday critical of
McConnell, labeling him a career
Washington politician who claims to be
a conservative. The Madison Project is
supporting Bevins candidacy.
The Senate Conservatives Fund has not
endorsed in the Kentucky GOP primary,
but in a statement in July, executive direc-
tor Matt Hoskins said the group was open
to backing Bevin. Hoskins said
McConnell could lose the Senate race and
cost the GOP its shot at the Senate major-
i t y.
The group said it was waiting to see if
the grassroots in Kentucky unite behind
Bevin.

PHILADELPHIA A 10-year-old
Pennsylvania girl whose plight for a
new pair of lungs spurred a national
debate over organ transplants is
going home Tuesday, her mother said
Monday.
In a posting on her Facebook page
Janet Murnaghan wrote WE ARE
GOING HOME TOMORROW!!!!!!
Her daughter Sarah Murnaghan,
who has end-stage cystic fibrosis,
received two lung transplants this
summer at the Childrens Hospital of
Philadelphia after a federal judge
intervened in her parents lawsuit
challenging national transplant
rules that put her at the end of the
waiting list for adult lungs.
The news Monday capped days of
upbeat progress reports from
Murnaghan, of
Newtown Square.
On Sunday, she
said her daughter
was taken off oxy-
gen, although she
still gets support
from a machine that
helps her to
breathe, and had
started to walk with
the aid of a walker,
even venturing outside.
My sister pointed out that today
is our Moms birthday she died 11
years ago, Janet Murnaghan wrote
Saturday on her Facebook page. And
today is the first day Sarah has not
needed any supplemental oxygen.
Miracles from heaven!!!
Family spokeswoman Tracy Simon
said Sarahs recovery is now focused
on building her muscle strength so
she no longer has to use a breathing
tube. She said Sarah recovered from a
case of pneumonia that stemmed
from the tube.
Sarahs first set of adult lungs
failed after a June 12 transplant. A
second set was transplanted three
days later.
Her parents sued to change a
national transplant policy that put
her at the bottom of the adult list for
patients 12 and older. After the feder-
al judge intervened, the Organ
Procurement and Transplantation
Network the private nonprofit
group that manages U.S. organ allo-
cation added Sarah to the adult
l i st .
The case raised questions among
some health specialists and medical
ethicists about how organ donation
rules are developed and under what
circumstances they might be disre-
garded.

Philadelphia tries less
salt in Chinese takeout
By Kathy Matheson
PHILADELPHIA Amar Jones knows that high-salt
Chinese takeout isnt good for his high blood pressure. But
the lure of shrimp with broccoli is hard to resist.
So he was heartened recently to hear that his favorite dish
now has 20 percent less sodium thanks to a citywide effort
to battle hypertension a major risk factor for heart dis-
ease.
People might think Im being extreme, but youre prob-

Its the latest effort by a major U.S. city
to help people eat better. Many have
already banned trans-fats, and some require
restaurants to post calorie counts.
Philadelphia has focused on salt con-
sumption because 37 percent of residents
have high blood pressure. The number
jumps to 47 percent for African-
Americans, according to a 2012 survey by
the Public Health Management Corp.
The multi-agency initiative, which
began about a year ago, focuses on mom-
and-pop Chinese joints because they are
an enormous industry in the city, serv-
ing about 3 million meals a year, said
Health Commissioner Donald Schwarz.
The dishes are cheap and easily avail-
able, especially in low-income minority
neighborhoods that often lack supermar-
kets and access to fresh produce.
But many residents and even takeout
owners didnt realize how the meals
affected their health, said Schwarz.
In some restaurants, the restaurateurs
were really taken aback by the amount of
sodium in their food, Schwarz said.
Dietary guidelines recommend that
Americans consume less than 2,300 mil-
ligrams of salt per day about a tea-
spoon. Yet an order of chicken lo mein
from local takeouts averaged 3,200 mil-
ligrams, while shrimp with broccoli had
1,900 milligrams.
Organizers offered a series of low-sodi-
um cooking classes last summer with the
goal of changing the ingredients but not
the taste. Nine months later, salt content
in those two dishes was down 20 percent
in samples from 20 restaurants.
Researchers plan to test the food again in
a few months, and expand the program to
other items.
Steven Zhu, president of the Greater
Philadelphia Chinese Restaurant
Association, recruited participants by say-
ing healthier food could attract more cus-
tomers. Still, some owners declined
because they worried about losing busi-
ness.
Change is always not an easy process,
and there was some reluctance in the
beginning when we started this project,
said Grace Ma, director of Temple
Universitys Center for Asian Health.
Xue Xiu Liu, owner of Choy Yung Inn in
the citys Point Breeze community, said
through a translator that he got involved
to improve customers health. Business is
about the same, Liu said.
Jones frequents the takeout because he
works just up the block at the Arabic
Institute. And he said hes hardly alone,
often joined by colleagues or neighbors.
Were always going in there, even if we
dont want to sometimes. Theres nothing
else to eat, Jones said. You want some-
thing hot, you want something now, so
you order from the Chinese store.
The Food Trust, a Philadelphia-based
organization that promotes healthy eat-
ing, praised the city for working with the
takeouts instead of pointing fingers. The
eateries are community gathering points
and not going away anytime soon, noted
spokeswoman April White.
Lets find ways to make everyone a part
of the solution, White said.
The Food Trust is not part of the study.
Participants include the city health depart-
ment, Temple University, Asian
Community Health Coalition and restau-
rant association; the project is supported
by local and federal funds.

Utility ofcials monitored the clarity of
the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir and used a mas-
sive new $4.6 billion gravity-operated
pipeline system to move water quickly to
reservoirs closer to the big city. The Hetch
Hetchy supplies water to 2.6 million people
in the San Francisco Bay area, 150 miles
away.
Were taking advantage that the water
were receiving is still of good quality, said
Harlan Kelly Jr., general manager of the
citys Public Utilities Commission. Were
bringing down as much water as possible
and replenishing all of the local reser-
voirs.
At the same time, utility ofcials gave
assurances that they have a six-month sup-
ply of water in reservoirs near the Bay area.
So far the ash that has been raining onto
the Hetch Hetchy has not sunk as far as the
intake valves, which are about halfway
down the 300-foot OShaughnessy Dam.
Utility ofcials said that the ash is non-
toxic but that the city will begin ltering
water for customers if problems are detected.
That could cost more.
On Monday the re was still several miles
away from the steep granite canyon where
the reservoir is nestled, but several spot
res were burning closer, and reghters
were protecting hydroelectric transmission
lines and other utility facilities.
Obviously were paying close attention
to the citys water supply, said Glen
Stratton, an operations chief on the re sup-
pression team.
Power generation at the reservoir was shut
down last week so that reghters would not
be imperiled by live wires. San Francisco is
buying replacement power from other
sources to run City Hall and other municipal
buildings.
It has been at least 17 years since re rav-
aged the northernmost stretch of Yosemite
that is under siege.
Park ofcials cleared brush and set sprin-
klers on two groves of giant sequoias that
were seven to 10 miles away from the res
front lines, said park spokesman Scott
Gediman. While sequoias have a chemical in
their bark to help them resist re, they can
be damaged when flames move through
slowly.
The re has swept through steep Sierra
Nevada river canyons and stands of thick
oak and pine, closing in on Tuolumne City
and other mountain communities. It has
confounded ground crews with its 300-foot
walls of ame and the way it has jumped
from treetop to treetop.
Crews bulldozed two huge rebreaks to try
to protect Tuolumne City, ve miles from
the res edge.
Weve got hundreds of reghters staged
in town to do structure protection, Stratton
said. If the re does come to town, were
ready.
Meanwhile, biologists with the Forest
Service are studying the effect on
wildlife. Much of the area that has burned
is part of the states winter-range deer
habitat. Biologist Crispin Holland said
most of the large deer herds would still be
well above the fire danger.
Biologists discovered stranded Western
pond turtles on national forest land near the
edge of Yosemite. Their marshy meadow had
burned, and the surviving creatures were
huddled in the middle of the expanse in what
little water remained.
Were hoping to deliver some water to
those turtles, Holland said. We might also
drag some brush in to give them cover.
Wildlife ofcials were also trying to mon-
itor at least four bald eagle nests in the re-
stricken area.
While it has put a stop to some backcoun-
try hiking, the re has not threatened the
Yosemite Valley, where such sights as the
Half Dome and El Capitan rock formations
and Yosemite Falls draw throngs of tourists.
Most of the park remained open to visitors.
The U.S. Forest Service said the re was
threatening about 4,500 structures and
destroyed at least 23.
Rugged terrain, strong winds and bone-
dry conditions have hampered reghters
efforts to contain the blaze, which began
Aug. 17. The cause has not been determined.

LONDON Since the rst test-
tube baby was born more than three
decades ago, in vitro fertilization
has evolved into a highly sophisti-
cated lab procedure. Now, scien-
tists are going back to basics and
testing a simpler and cheaper
method.
In the West, many would-be par-
ents spend thousands of dollars for
IVF, which involves pricey incuba-
tors and extensive screening. But
European and American scientists
say a simplied version of the
entire procedure aimed at develop-
ing countries could be done for
about 200 euros ($265) with gener-
ic fertility drugs and basic lab
equipment that would t inside a
shoebox.
IVF is made to sound complicat-
ed, but the fact is that the early
embryo is not very demanding,
said Jonathan Van Blerkom, a fer-
tility expert at the University of
Colorado.
A human embryo doesnt need
much beyond some basic solu-
tions, a steady pH level and con-
stant temperature, he said.
The simpler approach calls for
women to take cheaper fertility
tablets to stimulate their ovaries to
release more than one egg per
month. In conventional IVF,
expensive, potent drugs that are
injected can produce more than 20
eggs.
Van Blerkom developed the sim-
plified technique after European
colleagues asked him how IVF
could be done in developing coun-
tries.
My rst reaction was, Youve
got to be kidding, he said.
But with two test tubes and spe-
cial solutions, its possible to
generate the exact same condi-
tions, or very similar, to what peo-
ple are generating in a $60,000
incubator.
One test tube is used to prepare a
solution including carbon dioxide,
which creates the ideal conditions
for fertilization. Thats piped into a
second tube, where one egg and a
few thousand sperm are added,
before being placed in a heating
block. After about two to three
days, any resulting embryo is
examined under a microscope
before being transferred into the
woman.
Van Blerkom and colleagues esti-
mated that about half of all people
seeking infertility treatment could
potentially be helped by the
method. Those who have compli-
cated infertility problems, like
men with severe sperm problems
or women with very few eggs left,
will still need standard IVF.
In an ongoing trial in Belgium,
researchers are comparing the tech-
niques. Women under 36 seeking
IVF for the rst time are given a
mild dose of injectable fertility
drugs. If at least eight eggs are
retrieved, half undergo traditional
IVF, and half use the simpler
method.
A specialist who doesnt know
which technique was used picks the
best-looking embryo to be trans-
ferred.
For the more than 100 women
treated so far, the pregnancy rate
was about 34 percent for both
methods. So far, 14 babies have
been born using the simplified
method and 13 babies from tradi-
tional IVF.
The World Health Organization
estimates there are between 120
and 160 million couples strug-
gling with infertility worldwide.
Nobody thinks that infertility
in developing countries is a prob-
lem, but it is an even bigger prob-
lem there than in (the West), WHO
reproductive health expert Sheryl
Vanderpoel said.
She said more people in develop-
ing countries have complications
from untreated infections, includ-
ing sexually spread diseases, than
in the West, which can hurt their
fertility.
Making IVF affordable is a pub-
lic health priority, she said.
Dr. Hassan Sallam, director of
the Alexandria Fertility and IVF
Center in Egypt, said the cheaper
IVF method would be welcomed. He
said there is considerable social
pressure on young Egyptian cou-
ples to have children and that is
compounded by the fact in rural
areas, many newlyweds live with
the mans family.
All eyes are on the newlywed
couple to see if pregnancy has hap-
pened after the rst month, he said
in an email.
He said couples married for two
to three months occasionally come
to see him just to please their in-
laws.
Although the new IVF strategy is
intended for use mainly in develop-
ing countries, doctors in rich coun-
tries are also interested.
You should not have to be rich
just to have IVF, said Dr. Geeta
Nargund, medical director for
Create Health Clinics, a private fer-
tility center in London. There are
so many people who cannot afford
the treatment (in the West) that
there would be huge demand if there
were something cheaper avail-
able.
In many European countries,
national health systems pay for
several IVF cycles for eligible cou-
ples but it can cost more than
$10,000 for those seeking it pri-
vately. For many couples, up to
three cycles are necessary to create
a baby.
She has asked Britains regulato-
ry agency for fertility treatment for
permission to test the simpler
technique.
Some said the success rates of the
cheaper IVF method would likely
be lower than those for regular IVF.
The simplied method does not
include any extensive screening of
embryos or any procedures to
inject sperm directly into the eggs.
You arent producing as many
eggs with this (cheap) method so
the numbers will not be as high,
said Ian Cooke, an emeritus profes-
sor of reproductive medicine at
Shefeld University.
Test-tube babies: A simpler,cheaper technique?
In the West, many would-be parents spend thousands of dollars for in vitro fertilization, which involves pricey
incubators and extensive screening.

strained family and sent him into
years of addiction and poverty.
You dont even know how many
children you caught in your web, seri-
al pedophile, Thomas C. said.
Thomas C., who has since become a
licensed psychotherapist helping
teenagers, refused to say Ayres name
and so did several other speakers who
only called him the defendant or
the child molester.
Some speakers directly asked
Freeman to impose the maximum sen-
tence allowed 22 years although
Freeman indicated plans from early on
to impose eight years while others
used their time to praise victims
advocate Victoria Balfour who helped
spur the San Mateo police investiga-
tion and explain why they believe
Ayres conduct is contemptible.
He is the destroyer of countless
boys, said Irene, mother of one vic-
tim who also addressed the court. He
is worse than your everyday sexual
abuser of children because he knew
better.
Ayres two grown children and wife
disagreed, painting him as a persecut-
ed man caught in a witch hunt. Wife
Solveig Ayres theorized prosecutors
were upset Ayres sometimes recom-
mended treatment instead of incarcera-
tion and son, Robert, suggested the
accusers were resentful of having to
see a therapist. Solveig Ayres also
said Balfour, a molestation victim her-
self, was on a mission to punish any-
one she felt was a molester.
Barbara Ayres, his daughter, ques-
tioned the authenticity of long-term
memory and said Theres no way he
did what people are claiming.
Ayres was originally charged with
molesting six patients between 1988
and 1996 when they were ages 9 to 13
because several others who came for-
ward fell outside the statute of limita-
tions. However, authorities and
acknowledged victims say there are
dozens more culled primarily from San
Mateo County juvenile court and
school referrals. These boys, labeled
troubled, were the perfect victims,
according to yesterdays speakers, for
a well-regarded doctor who served as
the American Academy of Child and
Adolescent Psychiatry and as host of
the sex education series Time of Your
Life.
No one would doubt the great
Ayres, Thomas C. said.
But San Mateo police began investi-
gating him in 2002. In 2005, two
years before his arrest, he settled the
rst of several lawsuits with former
patients. The deposition in one recent
case came into play yesterday when
defense attorney Jonathan McDougall
used a 50-page transcript of Ayres
questioning as evidence his client
should again be declared mentally
incompetent. Ayres was previously
committed to Napa State Hospital
with Alzheimers-related dementia
after his rst criminal trial ended with
a hung jury. However, doctors con-
cluded Ayres was exaggerating or fak-
ing his symptoms to avoid prosecu-
tion and San Mateo County Superior
Court Judge Jack Grandsaert later ruled
him again competent.
Freeman yesterday said McDougall
had not presented persuasive evidence
that Grandsaerts ruling was wrong or
that Ayres mental state had signi-
cantly changed. Using the transcript,
Freeman said she identied a man who
provided proper responses, followed a
confusing hypothetical and offered no
more ums and speech stutters than
the involved attorneys. The session
was halted not because of Ayres abili-
ty as McDougall claimed but because
the tape ran out, Freeman told the
packed courtroom.
I actually nd nothing unusual that
would cast doubt on the competency of
Dr. Ayres, Freeman said.
Freeman also referred to her own
observations of Ayres while presiding
over his rst trial and in multiple court
proceedings leading up to the second
attempt prior to his no contest plea.
Those two trials, a competency trial
that ended with a hung jury and numer-
ous stops and starts also weighed on
the victims the past six and a half
years, they said. Afew speakers called
the courts and county apathetic,
pointing to Ayres high regard and
place in social and political circles as
possible reasons he continued to
operate.
Meanwhile, several of the victims
shares similar ongoing feelings of
fear and guilt. Trust was destroyed,
authority remains questioned and fam-
ilies fragmented. Karl, now near 50,
cant even construct Star Wars models
with his own young son despite the
boys desire because Ayres used an
R2D2 model as a reward. His life is
at, he said and upon waking he
wishes hed quietly died in his sleep.
When I look to the future it is
gray, he said.
But Michael, whose husband Greg
was an Ayres patient, told Freeman her
sentence choice could give all victims
something else. Her choice of justice
will show them, he said, that its also
possible to live their lives as a sur-
vivor.

the additions, overall staff numbers are
still roughly 10 percent lower than
ve years ago, according to county g-
ures.
The recommended budget for scal
year 2014-15 is $1.9 billion, the same
amount as the 2013-14 budget.
Sandwiched in between is the current
recommended budget of $2.1 million
which county officials say includes
public safety investments and prepara-
tions for federal health care reform
along with affordable housing and
infrastructure improvements.
By making wise decisions over the
past ve years we have avoided the
drastic service cutbacks faced by many
public organizations, County
Manager John Maltbie said in a pre-
pared statement. Now with the
rebounding economy we are posi-
tioned to invest wisely in securing a
stable and prosperous future for our
residents.
Other significant budget changes
include:
More than $150 million the next
two years to build the Maple Street
Correctional Center;
$62 million spread over two years
for other capital improvement projects
like Devils Slide, replacing the
Skylonda Fire Station and infrastruc-
ture projects;
Paying down the unfunded pension
liability by spending $50 million in
scal year 2013-14 and $10 million in
scal year 2014-15;
A major information technology
overhaul to the tune of $26.4 million
in scal year 2013-14 and $27.9 mil-
lion the next;
$13.4 million for affordable hous-
ing and emergency shelters;
Reestablishing the Parks
Department as a separate department.
The budget also includes $555,000
over the two years to ll two spots in
the Housing Department.
The budget does not include any
Measure A half-cent sales tax alloca-
tions. The board will consider 22 ten-
tatively funded proposals at its Sept.
16 and 17 hearings to adopt the nal
document.
The complete budget document is

DO YOU HAVE KNEE PAIN?
Experience relief with advanced, non-surgical treatments.
Do you wake up with
knee pain?
Does knee pain limit your
level of activity?
Has your doctor
recommended surgery?
Do you have pain when
walking up or down
stairs?
Have you run out of
options to relieve your
pain?
If you answered yes to
any of these questions,
you are a candidate
for our non-invasive
treatment program.
Meet Dr. Brian Mitchell
Millions of individuals give up their
active lifestyle to knee pain because they
feel they are too young for major surgery.
I am here to tell you theres an effective
and FDA approved alternative to surgery.
If you suffer from any degree of knee pain,
I invite you to regain control of your life by
visiting our state of the art facility.
How Do We Treat Knee Pain?
We use a non-invasive, multi-
disciplinary approach to provide
complete care and dramatically
improve patients results. We cus-
tomize our treatment programs for
every individual. This may include
visco-supplementation to lubricate
the joint, individualized rehabili-
tation to strengthen the muscles
surrounding the injury, or bracing
for stabilization and support.
What Is visco-
supplementation?
Visco-supplementation, also known
as joint therapy, supplements the
knee with a natural occurring sub-
stance called hyaluronic acid that
is often decient in arthritic knees.
This lubricates the knee joint to
reduce friction between the bones
of the knee to provide signicant
pain relief.
Why is individualized reha-
bilitation Important?
The muscles surrounding the
injury can become weak and stiff
making it difficult to do everyday
tasks. Individualized rehabilita-
tion reduces inflammation and
increases range of motion, flex-
ibility and strength.
Will I feel better right away?
Most patients feel relief in a matter
of weeks and can go back to their
daily activities.
Will insurance cover
the cost?
Yes, most insurance providers and
Medicare will cover treatment upon
approval of your benets.
Are the treatments
successful?
Weve treated thousands of patients
and over 90% have experienced
signicant pain relief and regained
mobility.
How will I know if this
is right for me?
If youre suffering from knee pain,
your rst step is an evaluation with
Dr. Brian Mitchell.
What are patients saying?
I arrived to my rst appointment in a wheelchair because I couldnt bear any weight on my right
leg. The physician and therapists worked together to create a plan specically for me. I quickly
progressed from a wheelchair, to a walker, to a cane, to full weight on my leg. The treatments and
one-on-one rehabilitation gave me my life back. Diana V., Huntington Beach, CA
