WHAT HAPPENS IN FERGUSON IF NO
CHARGES?
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Amove, a breakup, an accident and a death
all have big parts in South San Francisco
native Jeff Desiras rst solo album.
Weathervane was released independent-
ly by Desira July 19 and is the culmination
of years of writing and two and a half years
of recording. The album is mostly about his
time living in New York
and an ex-girlfriend who
he moved to New York
with back in 2007.
When I was living in
New York, I was dating an
opera singer who was
working Off-Broadway,
he said. In between her
work and mine, we would
take vacations and drive around the north-
east.
These trips ended up being the inspira-
tion for the title of his album.
In Newport Rhode Island, I noticed the
homes had weathervanes on top of them,
he said. I didnt think anything of them
when we came back to Brooklyn. It was the
typical New York love story. You move
there and everything falls apart. The weath-
ervanes were a way to gage weather and
[symbolized] a way to gauge the direc-
tion of how the relationship was going.
Desira, who went to South San Francisco
High School and is the youngest of four
children, plays piano, ukulele, ute, percus-
sion, whistles, guitar, bass and other instru-
ments and brought on other artists like Dara
Ackerman, Rob Hart and Andrew Grifn to

AP test law
Bill was prompted by
Mills High School snafu
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Legislation prompted by hundreds of
Mills High School advanced placement
test takers having their scores tossed
because of seating irregularities is now
law.
The bill by state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San
Mateo, was signed by Gov. Jerry Brown
Friday evening. The legislation, which
received unanimous support by the Senate last week, creates
an expedited timeline for investigations and subsequent new
testing if irregularities cause the scores to be canceled.
Hill introduced the bill after Mills students and parents
suggested it as part of the Peninsula lawmakers annual
Outta Be ALaw contest.

A machine was used to install the rolls of sod that compresses the turf so there are no gaps between them and then a roller
machine was driven over the eld to make the new grass rmer on the ground at the San Francisco 49ers Levis Stadium.
WIRE REPORTS
The San Francisco 49ers re-sodded
the eld at Levis Stadium from goal
line to goal line and sideline to side-
line with longer grass Friday and they
expect no problems for Sundays pre-
season game against the San Diego
Chargers.
I just felt like there was too much
slipping going on, San Francisco
49ers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh said
in a press briefing at the stadium
Friday.
Harbaugh added that the 49ers
grounds crews were
working on a more
permanent solu-
tion to fix the
grass eld in time
for Sundays presea-
son home game
against the San
Diego Chargers,
Harbaugh said.
Were refitting,
regrouping, retooling and the new eld
is going in, he said.
Once again, its our organization,
we can count on them to always do
things at the highest level and thats
whats in process now and (we) look
forward to playing the game on
Sunday, the coach said.
Im sure the eld is going to be
good and playable, he said.
In answer to reporters who asked if
he were an expert on grass, Harbaugh
answered, I am not. I am not.
After a journalist inquired again
about the eld, Harbaugh, sounding
frustrated, answered that, Itll be
right. We have total condence in that.

P
earls are formed inside oysters.
The formation of a natural pearl
begins when a foreign substance
slips into the oyster shell. The irritant
is covered with layers of nacre, which
is the substance that is used to create
the shell. This is what forms a pearl.
***
There is a simple test you can do to see
if a pearl is real or fake. Rub the pearl
gently against your teeth. A natural
pearl will feel slightly rough, like ne
sandpaper, because of the texture of
natural nacre. An imitation pearl will
feel smooth.

nally called Mound Street because of
a large shell mound there.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
If youve been through security at San
Francisco International Airport recently
and are missing your sunglasses or lap-
top, its probably worth checking in with
the Transportation Security
Administration.
The TSA has collected about 20,000
items left behind by forgetful or frazzled
passengers at SFO so far this year, includ-
ing numerous laptops and sunglasses, but
also more unusual things such as a wheel-
chair that someone presumably used to get
to security.
Only 2,000 of those items have been
reunited with their owners.
TSAspokesman Nico Melendez said most
likely go unclaimed because people dont
know when or where they lost them. The
TSA is not responsible for items lost else-
where at the airport.
These laptops are sitting here, waiting
for somebody, Melendez, pointing to a
stack of laptops on a table, said recently.
So come and get them.
The items are tagged with a bar code and a
description and kept at the airport for at
least 30 days. Laptops are eventually
scrubbed of their data and sold. Less expen-
sive items are donated to a state agency.
Passports go to the local issuing
embassy, while drivers licenses are
returned to state motor vehicle depart-
ments. Credit cards are destroyed, though
credit card companies are notified in
advance.
Melendez said the unusual items are not
conned to SFO. Someone left false teeth
behind at Los Angeles International
Airport.
Its one of those things you dont have
to remove, and wouldnt you notice that
your teeth werent in when you left the secu-
rity checkpoint? Melendez asked.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A26-year-old sex offender who groped a
Pacifica woman walking away from drop-
ping her kids off at day care was sentenced
to a year in jail and ordered to participate
in a rehabilitation program while in cus-
tody.
Jeremy Flynn Castro, faced up to two
years in prison after pleading no contest
in May to felony false imprisonment and
misdemeanor sexual battery. Instead, on
Friday he received the lesser term plus
three years supervised probation on the
condition he waive his credit for time
served while in custody on $100,000 bail.
He must also pay the victim $1,080 and
register as a sex offender.
Pacifica police arrested Castro Dec. 23,
2013, after the woman identified him as
the man who attacked her about five min-
utes earlier while walking near Monterey
Road at approximately 9:40 a.m. that day.
Castro grabbed the woman, groping her
breasts and between her legs as she
screamed and struggled, according to pros-
ecutors.
He allegedly told responding officers
that he thought the woman was his wife
and it was a prank he learned on YouTube.
At the time of arrest, Castro was on mis-
demeanor probation imposed for a similar
act in San Francisco in December 2012.

By Alicia Rancilia
NEWYORK The ice bucket chal-
lenges phenomenal success is making
other charitable organizations rethink
how they connect with a younger gen-
eration of potential donors.
Since the ALS Association began
tracking the campaigns progress on
July 29, it has raised more than $53.3
million from 1.1 million new donors
in what is one of the most viral phil-
anthropic social media campaigns in
history.
Thousands of people, including
celebrities like Taylor Swift and Oprah
Winfrey, have posted videos of them-
selves getting buckets of ice water
dumped over their heads and challeng-
ing others to do the same or donate
money to The ALS Association, which
raises money for Lou Gehrigs disease
research and assistance.
The ice bucket challenge has shown
its OK to be silly for a good cause,
says Brian Mittendorf, a professor at
the Ohio State University Fisher
College of Business, who teaches
courses in nonprot nance.
Normally the model is to nd peo-
ple who are passionate about a cause
and then ask for donations or to edu-
cate people and then seek out dona-
tions. (The ice bucket challenge is)
something thats fun that people can
do ... people are taking part in it and
then taking the info and donating.
The viral nature of the effort sur-
prised even The ALS Association.
This level of unprecedented giving
is (something) I dont think this coun-
try has seen before outside of a disaster
or emergency, said ALS Association
spokesperson Carrie Munk. We had
no idea it would get to this point.
Who should get credit for making
this a viral sensation depends on
whom you ask. Some say it began ear-
lier this month when friends of a 29-
year-old Boston man with ALS, a neu-
rodegenerative disease that affects
nerve cells in the brain and spinal
cord, did a group challenge.
Its also demonstrated that the aver-
age Joe or Jane can make waves.
One of the big take-aways is the
power of individuals who are so tight-
ly connected to a cause can really make
a difference, Munk said.

DUI arrest is California Democrats latest blow
SACRAMENTO Democratic state Sen. Ben Hueso was
arrested Friday on suspicion of drunken driving, the latest
black eye for the states majority party and
the 40-member chamber that suspended
three other Democrats facing legal trou-
bles.
Hueso, 44, of San Diego, was arrested at
2:39 a.m. and booked into Sacramento
County Jail, said sheriffs Sgt. Lisa
Bowman, after the California Highway
Patrol stopped him going the wrong way
on a one-way street.
He was released shortly before noon
after posting bail of nearly $1,500 and
was expected to appear in court Tuesday.
I think I have the right to pursue my innocence, and thats
what Im going to do, he told reporters, speaking softly,
with a serious expression.
Hueso wore charcoal-gray slacks, a pink-and-white pin-
striped dress shirt and black shoes as he walked from the jail
to a waiting black van from the Senates sergeant-at-arms
ofce. He said he would not discuss his whereabouts in the
hours before the trafc stop or comment further until this
process is over.
About 30 minutes later, Huesos ofce released a statement
from the senator that seemed to contradict his comments to
reporters as he left the jail: I accept complete personal
responsibility for my actions and any punishments that ulti-
mately come my way as a result of this incident.
Lawmakers pass firearm safety, ammunition bills
SACRAMENTO California lawmakers on Friday acted on
bills that tackle rearm safety and add rules for ammunition
sales.The Senate unanimously passed SB505 by Sen. Hannah-
Beth Jackson, D-Santa Barbara. It would require ofcers to
search the states database of gun purchases when checking on
whether someone may be a danger to themselves or others.
Jackson said searching the gun database could help prevent
tragedies such as the May shooting rampage near the
University of California, Santa Barbara. Her bill now goes to
the governor.
This bill would help ensure that law enforcement agencies
are using all the tools available to them to gather potentially
life-saving information for themselves and others, Jackson
said in a statement.
Sept. 11 relatives to get second shot at scholarships
SACRAMENTO Relatives of Californians who died in
the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks will get a second chance to apply
for college scholarships under legislation signed by Gov.
Jerry Brown after investigations found that the state mishan-
dled the program.
Brown on Friday announced signing SB384 by Democratic
Sen. Mark DeSaulnier and Republican Sen. Ted Gaines. The
bill reopens the application process until July 2016 for a
scholarship program funded through the sale of specialty
memorial license plates.

WASHINGTON The internal records of as
many as 25,000 Homeland Security
Department employees were exposed during a
recent computer break-in at a federal contrac-
tor that handles security clearances, an
agency ofcial said Friday.
The ofcial, who spoke on condition of
anonymity to discuss details of an incident
that is under active federal criminal investiga-
tion, said the number of victims could be
greater. The department was informing
employees whose les were exposed in the
hacking against contractor USIS and warning
them to monitor their nancial accounts.
Earlier this month, USIS acknowledged the
break-in, saying its internal cybersecurity
team had detected what appeared to be an
intrusion with all the markings of a state-
sponsored attack. Neither USIS nor govern-
ment ofcials have speculated on the identity
of the foreign government. A USIS spokes-
woman reached Friday declined to comment
on the DHS notications.
USIS, once known as U.S. Investigations
Services, has been under re in Congress in
recent months for its performance in conduct-
ing background checks on National Security
Agency systems analyst Edward Snowden and
on Aaron Alexis, a military contractor
employee who killed 12 people during shoot-
ings at the Navy Yard in Washington in
September 2013.
Private contractors perform background
checks on more than two-thirds of the 4.9
million government workers with security
clearances, and USIS handles nearly half of
that number. Many of those investigations
are performed under contracts with the Ofce
of Personnel Management, and the Homeland
Security and Defense departments.
The Justice Department led a civil com-
plaint in January against USIS alleging that
the rm defrauded the government by submit-
ting at least 665,000 security clearance
investigations that had not been properly
completed and then tried to cover up its
actions. USIS replied in a statement at the
time that the allegations dealt with a small
group of employees and that the company had
appointed a new leadership team and
enhanced oversight and was cooperating with
the Justice probe.
Its not immediately clear when the hack-
ing took place, but DHS notied all its
employees internally on Aug. 6.
At that point, DHS issued stop-work
orders preventing further information ows
to USIS until the agency was condent the
company could safeguard its records. At the
same time, OPM temporarily halted all USIS
background check eldwork out of an abun-
dance of caution, spokeswoman Jackie
Koszczuk said.
Ofcials would not say whether workers
from other government agencies were at risk.
DHS will provide workers affected by the
intrusion with credit monitoring. The risk to
as many as 25,000 DHS workers was rst
reported Friday by Reuters.
A cybersecurity expert, Rick Dakin, said
the possibility that other federal depart-
ments could be affected depends on whether
the DHS records were segmented, or walled
off, from other federal agencies les inside
USIS.
The big question is what degree of seg-
mentation was already in place so that other
agencies werent equally compromised, said
Dakin, chief executive of Coalre, a major
Colorado-based IT audit and compliance rm.
In an announcement Friday, DHS warned
that more than 1,000 U.S. retailers that their
cash register computers could be infected with
malicious software allowing hackers to steal
customer nancial data. Ofcials urged busi-
nesses of all sizes to scan their point-of-sale
systems for software known as Backoff.

STATE/NATION 7
LOS ANGELES About 100,000
Californians who havent yet proved their
citizenship or legal residency in the U.S.
face losing their health care coverage this
fall, state officials said.
The state will start sending notices to
affected consumers early next month and
follow up with more communication.
Covered California, the state-run insur-
ance exchange, enrolled more than 1.2
million people during the rollout of the
Affordable Care Act this year. The
exchange said it could verify citizenship
or immigration status of most consumers
electronically through a federal data hub.
But Peter Lee, the exchanges executive
director, told the Times that about 100,000
people must still submit proof of eligibil-
ity or risk losing coverage in October.
He estimated that most of the people
affected are legal residents.
Covered California has been trying to
clear up these inconsistencies and has
already processed 600,000 documents to
prove eligibility, Lee said. He attributed
much of the problem to paperwork issues.
If individuals are not able to provide
that proof by late September or October,
we will have to terminate their coverage,
Lee said at an exchange board meeting
Thursday. This is not something we want
to do.
The next enrollment window for individ-
ual health insurance starts Nov. 15.
Many without residency proof could lose Obamacare
By Josh Lederman
WASHINGTON Seeking to quell a
politically charged controversy, the Obama
administration announced new measures
Friday to allow religious nonprots and
some companies to opt out of paying for
birth control for female employees while
still ensuring those employees have access
to contraception.
Even so, the accommodations may not
fully satisfy religious groups who oppose
any system that makes them complicit in
providing coverage they believe is
immoral.
Effective immediately, the U.S. will start
allowing faith-afliated charities, colleges
and hospitals to notify the government
rather than their insurers that they object
to birth control on religious grounds.
Aprevious accommodation offered by the
Obama administration allowed those non-
prots to avoid paying for birth control by
sending their insurers a document called
Form 700, which transfers responsibility
for paying for birth control from the
employer to the insurer. But Roman
Catholic bishops and other religious plain-
tiffs argued just submitting that form was
like signing a permission slip to engage in
evil.
In a related move, the administration
announced plans to allow for-prot corpo-
rations like Hobby Lobby Inc. to start
using Form 700. The Supreme Court ruled in
June that the government cant force com-
panies like Hobby Lobby to pay for birth
control, sending the administration scram-
bling for a way to ensure their employees
can still get birth control one way or anoth-
er at no added cost.
The dual decisions mark the Obama
administrations latest effort to address a
long-running conict that has pitted the
White House against churches and other
religious groups. The dispute has sparked
dozens of legal challenges, fueling an elec-
tion-year debate about whether religious
liberty should trump a womans access to
health care options.
Todays announcement reinforces our
commitment to providing women with
access to coverage for contraception, while
respecting religious considerations raised
by nonprot organizations and closely held
for-profit companies, said Health and
Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell.
Yet the latest proposals will likely run up
against the same objections, because they
still enable employees to receive contra-
ception through their health plans one of
a range of preventive services required under
President Barack Obamas health care law.
We will be studying the new rule with our
clients, but if todays announcement is just
a different way for the government to hijack
the health plans of religious ministries, it
is unlikely to end the litigation, said Mark
Rienzi, senior counsel at the Becket Fund
for Religious Liberty. The fund has repre-
sented both Hobby Lobby and Wheaton
College, an evangelical school whose case
also made its way to the Supreme Court.
Days after the high court ruled in late June
in Hobby Lobbys favor, the justices deliv-
ered another blow to the Obama administra-
tion by siding with religious nonprot s
like Wheaton who said lling out Form 700
wasnt an acceptable accommodation and
still constituted a violation of their reli-
gious freedom.

Smoke rises following what witnesses said was an Israeli air
strike in Gaza.
By Sara Burnett and Jim Salter
FERGUSON, Mo. Conditions
calmed this week in Ferguson after
nights of sometimes violent unrest
stemming from the fatal shooting of a
black 18-year-old by a white police
ofcer. But a delicate and crucial ques-
tion lingers: What happens if the
grand jury now considering the case
doesnt return a charge against the of-
cer?
The fear among some local residents
and ofcials trying to maintain peace
in Ferguson is that failure to charge the
ofcer could stoke new anger among a
community profoundly mistrustful of
the legal system. Many say they just
hope the grand jurys decision, what-
ever it is, has irrefutable facts to back
it up.
U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill told the
Associated Press shes pushing for fed-
eral and local investigations to be
completed around the same time so
that all evidence in the case can be
made public - a step many consider
important should prosecutors decide
not to charge the ofcer. Her ofce said
Friday that the Department of Justice
hasnt given a timeline for the federal
investigation, which centers on
whether a civil rights violation
occurred when ofcer Darren Wilson
fatally shot the unarmed Michael
Brown Aug. 9.
McCaskill, a former prosecutor in
Missouri, said shes hopeful the phys-
ical evidence in the case including
blood spatter patterns, clothing and
shell casings will provide incon-
trovertible facts about what happened
during the shooting. She said whatev-
er local prosecutors decide, it will be
important to explain the decision by
providing that physical evidence, and
that wont be possible if the federal
investigation is ongoing.
McCaskill said she urged Attorney
General Eric Holder during a meeting
earlier this week to speed up what is
typically a lengthier federal process.
What we want to avoid is a decision
being made without all the informa-
tion being available to the public
also, McCaskill said, adding that not
being able to do so could create more
stress and certainly much more fear
that we would be back to worrying
about people being able to protest
safely.
New fear: What happens
in Ferguson if no charges?
Hamas kills 18 suspected
informers to deter leaks
By Karin Laub and Yousur Alhlou
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip Gaza militants Friday gunned
down 18 alleged spies for Israel in an apparent attempt to
plug security breaches and deter others, a day after Israel
killed three top Hamas military commanders in an airstrike
likely guided by collaborators.
In one incident, masked gunmen lined up seven men,
their heads covered by bags, along a wall outside a Gaza
City mosque and shot them to death in front of hundreds of
people, witnesses said. Anote pinned on the wall said they
had leaked information about the location of tunnels,
homes of ghters and rockets that were later struck by
Israel.
In Israel, a 4-year-old boy was killed when a mortar shell
hit two cars in the parking lot of Nahal Oz, a small farming
community near Gaza. Five Israelis were hurt, one serious-
l y, in several rocket strikes, the military said. One rocket
damaged a synagogue.
The childs death was bound to raise pressure on Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from an increasingly impa-
tient public to put an end to rocket and mortar re from
Gaza - something Israels military has been unable to do
after 46 days of ghting with Hamas.
Netanyahus ofce said he expressed his condolences and
vowed that Hamas would pay a heavy price.
The Israeli military said in a statement the deadly mortar
shell had been red from next to a U.N. school currently
serving as a shelter for displaced Gazans, but then retracted
its claim and said the facility in question was run by Hamas.
Israel has repeatedly said Hamas uses schools, mosques and
residential areas as cover from which to stage attacks, put-
ting civilians at risk by drawing Israeli retaliation.

OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
By Kevin Mullin
T
he recently initiated recount in the
primary race for state controller
was the result of a 481 vote differ-
ence between second- and third-place candi-
dates. Under current law, former Assembly
Speaker John Perez had every right to pur-
sue a recount. However, the current recount
process is not a full recount and must be
paid for and initiated by a candidate or
voter, making it a fundamentally
inequitable process. There is no doubt the
existing recount process is critically
awed. The time for reform is now.
While election system errors are relative-
ly rare in California, it is possible for out-
comes in narrow races to change after a full
recount. Current law allows a candidate to
specify the counties they want to recount
and if they make up the vote difference in
those specied counties, then their oppo-
nent takes a turn in selecting counties in an
effort to recover the votes lost. This inef-
cient back and forth continues until every
vote is counted, or a candidate runs out of
money. It also raises the question of fair-
ness: Should the person with the deepest
pockets be able to out-recount his oppo-
nent?
The obvious answer is no. In statewide
elections, where millions of ballots are
cast, the state should be responsible for
ensuring the accuracy of the vote, not a
candidate or voter. The current system has
been criticized by many, including the can-
didates involved in the recent recount.
Above all, our system of
governance demands that
the election process is
fair and transparent for
all voters and candidates.
I have introduced legis-
lation (AB 2194) that
will require the secretary
of state to order a full
manual recount of any
statewide ofce or ballot measure election
if the margin of victory is one-tenth of 1
percent or less. This bill is the rst step in
reforming and modernizing our recount
system. If passed, AB 2194 would sunset
on July 1, 2015, which will ensure the
process is in place for the November 2014
general election. I intend to work in part-
nership with the new secretary of state to
improve and modernize the recount process
and ensure permanent legislation is in
place no later than the 2016 primary and
general elections.
Some question the cost of reform; how-
ever, with a sufciently narrow threshold
automatic recounts would be very rare.
Whats more important to consider is the
cost of not correcting this system. If the
recount debacle had continued, we dont
know what the impact on ballot distribu-
tion for the general election would have
been, but all the available options would
have been problematic. More important
than the nancial cost of the proposed
reform is the integrity of our electoral
process.
The most populous state in the Union
and the eighth largest economy in the
world needs a modern, accountable elec-
tions system. Twenty other states already
have standardized policies in place.
California lags behind and now is the time
to step up.
The bill is currently awaiting a procedur-
al vote to allow for a hearing in Senate
Elections Committee and must pass by
Aug. 31 before the Legislature adjourns for
the year.
Kevin Mullin represents the 22nd Assembly
District and is the Assistant Speaker pro
Tempore of the California State Assembly.
He chairs the Select Committee on
Biotechnology and serves on the following
committees: Budget, Budget Subcommittee
#4 on State Administration, the Business
and Professions, Local Government,
Utilities & Commerce, and Revenue and
Taxation. The 22nd district includes the
cities of Belmont, Brisbane, Burlingame,
Foster City, Hillsborough, Millbrae,

Carlos, San Mateo, portions of South San
Francisco and the San Mateo County
Coastside communities of Montara and Moss

Heat at Levis Stadium
Editor,
With all the negative press concerning
the elevated heat at Levis Stadium, I can
tell you that the relatively new Stanford
Football Stadium is quite similar this time
of year.
While attending a September San Jose
State football game against Stanford sever-
al years ago, our party of four found the sun
and intense heat oppressive. Fortunately,
during the second half we were able to relo-
cate to the opposite side to enjoy relief
from the distressing heat.
I suggest Levis Stadium attendees select
their seats accordingly as we later did the
subsequent game. Otherwise, wear appro-
priate attire, including hats and ample
amounts of sunscreen. Better yet, stay
home with the big screen and take pleasure
in reasonably priced refreshments.

Fixing things before they break
Editor,
Why cant we build things right any-
more? The new Levis Stadium has held one
football game and they already need to
replace the turf.
We spend many dollars to build a new
bridge and as soon as a car crosses it,
they find cracks where there shouldnt be
any.
We raise our children and before they
can vote others shoot them. What is
wrong out here? That is a rhetorical ques-
tion anticipating your feedback.
If you bought a new gold chain with a
sparkly pendant you would rightly expect
it to hang around your neck. But if the
clasp was not made correctly, you could
not expect it to hang around very long
and its life would be limited. Where are all
those professional clasp makers? Lets
hear from you.

Private property
rights in Martins beach
Editor,
I agree wholeheartedly with Sharon
Levines letter Martins beach is person-
al and private property published in the
Aug. 21, 2014, edition of the Daily

It is easy to tamper with those rights
when it is not your property.

great photo ops that are difficult to pass
when you are in politics. They are price-
less when you harbor lofty aspirations.

Hold the applause
Wall Street Journal
I
t wasnt long ago that President
Obama boasted of getting Syria to
surrender its chemical weapons with-
out firing a shot. It turned out that we are
actually getting all the chemical
weapons, Mr. Obama told the New Yorker
last November. And nobody reports that
anymore.
But it turned out there was a good reason
to hold the applause. On Monday the
White House released a statement in the
Presidents name celebrating the destruc-
tion of Bashar Assads declared stocks of
chemical weapons aboard the MV Cape
Ray, a U.S. ship fitted with specialized
hydrolysis systems that neutralize sarin
and other deadly agents.
Then came the caveat. We will watch
closely to see that Syria fulfills its com-
mitment to destroy its remaining declared
chemical weapons production facilities,
the statement read. In addition, serious
questions remain with respect to the omis-
sions and discrepancies in Syrias declara-
tion to the OPCWand about continued
allegations of use.
The OPCWis the Organization for the
Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, the
Hague -based outfit that has overseen the
removal of 1,300 tons of chemical agents
from Syria. The organization complained
for months that Damascus was slow-
rolling the disarmament process as it con-
tinued to starve and bomb its enemies into
submission. In April the Assad regime
began dropping chlorine bombs against
civilian targets. Chlorine violates the
Chemical Weapons Convention, which
Syria joined last year as part of the deal
that Mr. Obama used to celebrate.
Then there are those omissions and dis-
crepancies cited by the President. We are
not privy to the intelligence, but every
source we talk to says the Syrians have
surely not declared everything in their
possession. Its also hard to believe the
Administration would underline the
defects in its own purported achievement
if there werent serious doubts among U.S.
spooks about the completeness of the
Syrian declaration.
Syria maintains close ties to North
Korea, which is believed to have a robust
chemical weapons program capable of
producing several thousand tons of deadly
agents a year. In July 2007 reports sur-
faced of a chemical-weapons accident near
Aleppo involving Syrian and North
Korean technicians. That squares with
Pyongyangs known cooperation at the
time in building a nuclear reactor for
Assad that was destroyed that September
by Israeli jets. If North Korea was pre-
pared to supply Assad with deadly
weapons then, why not again tomorrow?
Then there is China. In April videos sur-
faced of partially unexploded chlorine
canisters marked with the name of
Chinese arms-maker Norinco. The Assad
regime also likely retains the network of
scientists and engineers needed to recon-
stitute a weapons program once it feels
secure enough to do so.
That day may not be far off, thanks in
part to the chemical deal that spared Assad
from U.S. bombing as he unleashed a new
offensive against moderate rebel forces.
Assads troops have now encircled the city
of Aleppo, Syrias largest, and leaders of
the Free Syrian Army trapped in the city
are stockpiling food in preparation of a
regime effort to starve them into submis-
sion. The moderate rebels are also losing
ground to the Sunni radicals of ISIS.
No matter what happens to Syrias
chemical weapons, the countrys real
weapons of mass destruction the Assad
regime and ISIS have gained in their
destructive power. Such has been the result
of Mr. Obamas abdication of global lead-
ership, now cloaked as a triumph for disar-
mament.

Big movers
By Ken Sweet
NEW YORK The stock market
paused Friday, following four days of
gains, after a speech by Federal
Reserve Chair Janet Yellen left
investors unsure about how the
nations most important financial
voice feels about raising interest rates
in the coming months.
A flare-up in tensions between
Ukraine and Russia also weighed on
the market after a Russian convoy
entered the country, purportedly to
bring aid supplies.
It was a quiet day overall. Stocks
moved between small gains and loss-
es, then settled modestly lower in the
last couple of hours. Trading was slow,
as it has been all week, as the summer
winds down and with many investors
on vacation. It was the second-qui-
etest day of the year for trading on the
New York Stock Exchange.
The Dow Jones industrial average
fell 38.27 points, or 0.2 percent, to
17, 001. 22. The Standard & Poors
500 index lost 3.97 points, or 0.2
percent, to 1,988.40 and the Nasdaq
composite added 6.45 points, or 0.1
percent, to 4,538.55.
Even with Fridays modest losses, it
was a strong week for the stock mar-
ket. The S&P 500 rose 1.7 percent for
the week, its best ve-day perform-
ance since April.
The Fed dominated investors agen-
das this week. On Friday, Yellen
addressed an annual conference of cen-
tral bankers and other policymakers
from around the globe at the Feds
annual conference in Jackson Hole,
Wyoming.
In her speech, which focused on
labor markets, Yellen said the Great
Recession complicated the Feds abil-
ity to assess the U.S. job market and
made it harder to determine when to
adjust interest rates. Yellen offered no
signal that she had altered her view
that the economy still needs support
from the Fed in the form of ultra-low
interest rates.
I think this was business as usual
for Yellen. She was measured and
deliberate and the market had a mini-
mal reaction to it, said Michael
Fredericks, portfolio manager of
Blackrocks Multi-Asset Income
Fund, which has $8.8 billion in
assets.
The timing of a Fed rate increase
remains unclear; however most
investors expect the rst one to come
sometime in 2015. Yellens speech
comes two days after a report from the
Fed seemed to show a growing chorus
of policymakers wanting to raise
interest rates.
The uncertainty that policymakers
feel on numerous fronts was evident in
Yellens speech, John Hoff, a xed
income strategist at RBS, wrote in a
note to investors.
The Fed has kept its benchmark
short-term interest rate, known as the
Federal Funds Rate, near zero since
late 2008 in order to simulate econom-
ic activity and demand. The downside
to low interest rates is the possibility
that they can lead to ination.
The Federal Funds Rate helps deter-
mine interest rates on a variety of
financial products including mort-
gages and credit cards, as well as the
yields that bonds pay. Many investors
believe the U.S. economy has recov-
ered enough from the depths of the
financial crisis to warrant higher
interest rates.
The Fed has been winding down
another economic stimulus program,
large-scale purchases of bonds in the
open market, since December.
Investors also had geopolitical ten-
sions to contend with.
A Russian convoy entered Ukraine,
defying the government there.
Ukraine called the move a direct inva-
sion intended to provoke an interna-
tional incident. The action drew con-
demnation from the European Union,
the United States and NATO. The
trucks are purportedly carrying aid to
residents in rebel-held zones where
separatists are fighting with the
Ukrainian government.

JACKSON HOLE, Wyoming If anyone
thought Janet Yellen might clarify her view
of the U.S. job market in her speech here
Friday, the Federal Reserve chair had a mes-
sage:
The picture is still hazy.
Though the unemployment rate has
steadily dropped, Yellen suggested that
other gauges of the job market have become
harder to assess and may reect persistent
weakness. These include many people job-
less for more than six months, millions
working part time who want full-time jobs
and weak pay growth.
Yellen offered no clarity on the timing of
the rst interest rate increase, which most
economists still expect by mid-2015.
Investors had been anticipating any
firmer sign from Yellen
about whether an improv-
ing economy might
prompt the Fed to act
sooner than expected to
start raising rates. She
instead offered further
uncertainty. Damage
inflicted by the Great
Recession had compli-
cated the Feds ability to
assess the U.S. job market and made it hard-
er to determine when to adjust rates, Yellen
said.
Uncertainty is the key word, said Ian
Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon
Economics. Yellen is not about to leap
from the fence at the next (Fed) meeting.
Yellen said that for now, a broad assess-
ment of the job market suggests that the
economy still needs Fed support in the form
of ultra-low rates and that ination has yet
to become a concern.
The assessment of labor market slack is
rarely simple and has been especially chal-
lenging recently, Yellen said at the confer-
ence, which the Federal Reserve Bank of
Kansas City sponsors each year at a lodge
beside the majestic Grand Tetons.
Yellen invoked language the Fed has used
that record-low short-term rates will likely
remain appropriate for a considerable
time after the Fed stops buying bonds to
keep long-term rates down. The bond buy-
ing is set to end this fall.
Yellen stressed that the Feds rate deci-
sions will be dictated by the economys per-
formance. Repeating language from an
appearance before Congress in July, Yellen
said that if the economy improved faster
than expected or if ination heated up, rates
could rise sooner. But she also said that if
the economy under-performed, the Fed could
delay its rst rate hike.
Monetary policy is not on a preset
course, she said.
In a separate speech, Mario Draghi, head
of the European Central Bank, said the ECB
was prepared to do more to boost the shaky
recovery in the 18 nations that use the euro.
But he said governments must coordinate
efforts to reduce persistently high unem-
ployment.
The ECB has cut rates and offered cheap
loans to banks and is considering asset pur-
chases to pump more money into Europes
economy. Draghi told the Jackson Hole
conference that we stand ready to adjust our
policy stance further if needed. But he
offered no guidance on when such help
might come.
In her keynote address, Yellen suggested
that pay gains for U.S. workers, which have
been sluggish since the recession ended ve
years ago, could rise faster without neces-
sarily igniting ination.

WASHINGTON More than 1,000 U.S.
retailers could be infected with malicious
software lurking in their cash register com-
puters, allowing hackers to steal customer
financial data, the Homeland Security
Department said Friday.
The government urged businesses of all
sizes to scan their point-of-sale systems for
software known as Backoff, discovered
last October. It previously explained in
detail how the software operates and how
retailers could nd and remove it.
Earlier this month, United Parcel Service
said it found infected computers in 51
stores. UPS said it was not aware of any
fraud that resulted from the infection but
said hackers may have taken customers
names, addresses, email addresses and pay-
ment card information.
The company apologized to customers
and offered free identity protection and cred-
it monitoring services to those who had
shopped in those 51 stores.
Backoff was discovered in October, but
according to the Homeland Security
Department the software wasnt agged by
antivirus programs until this month.
The news was the latest development in an
ongoing battle between retailers and hack-
ers.

SALEM, Ore. The state of Oregon
filed a lawsuit Friday against Oracle
America Inc. and several of its executives
over the technology companys role in
creating the troubled website for the
states online health insurance exchange.
The lawsuit, filed in Marion County
Circuit Court in Salem, alleges that Oracle
officials lied, breached contracts and
engaged in a pattern of racketeering
activity.
Redwood City-based Oracle was the
largest technology contractor working on
Oregons health insurance enrollment
website, known as Cover Oregon. The
public website was never launched, forc-
ing the state to hire hundreds of workers to
process paper applications by hand. The
websites failure became a political prob-
lem to Democratic Gov. John Kitzhaber,
who is running for re-election.
Arelated project to modernize functions
for social services also was scrapped. The
state paid Oracle $240 million for both
projects.
Todays lawsuit clearly explains how
egregiously Oracle has disserved
Oregonians and our state agencies,
Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum, a
Democrat, said in a statement. Over the
course of our investigation, it became
abundantly clear that Oracle repeatedly
lied and defrauded the state.
In addition to the company, the states
lawsuit individually names six executives,
including Oracle Corp. President and Chief
Financial Officer Safra Catz, and Mythics
Inc., which acted as a middleman between
Oracle and the state in early stages of the
project.
The state is seeking damages as high as
$240 million and penalties as high as
$480 million for each allegation of
wrongdoing. The state could collect dam-
ages only once but a judge could impose
multiple penalties against multiple par-
ties, said Kristina Edmunson, a spokes-
woman for the attorney general.

Jell-O cant stop slippery sales slide
NEW YORK Jell-O has lost its jiggle
and nobody knows how to x it.
The dessert was invented more than a cen-
tury ago and helped popularize a delicacy
reserved for the rich into a quick, affordable
treat. Americans of all ages are familiar with
the famous J-E-L-L-O jingle and TV ads
featuring comedian Bill Cosby. Knocking
back Jell-O shots made with alcohol is a
college memory for many.
Yet despite its enduring place in pop cul-
ture, sales have tumbled 19 percent in the
past four years, with alternatives such as
Greek yogurt surging in popularity.
Executives at Kraft Foods, which owns Jell-
O, say theyre condent they can revitalize
the brand. But their efforts so far have been
a disappointment.
After years of marketing sugar-free Jell-O
to dieters, for instance, Kraft last year
launched an ad campaign that switched back
to playing up the family angle. In one TV
spot called Comb Over, a man with the
title hairdo tells his son how Jell-O makes
up for lifes troubles, like being stuck in
trafc. The visual gag is when the child
imagines himself going through life with a
comb over.
Kids thought it was hilarious, said Dan
OLeary, senior director of marketing for
Kraft desserts.
Business brief
Genaro C. Armas
GREEN BAY, Wis. With a stable of run-
ning backs now complementing quarter-
back Aaron Rodgers, the Green Bay Packers
offense could be as potent as ever this sea-
son.
Rodgers threw for two touchdowns, Eddie
Lacy rumbled for a 1-yard score on the
Packers' opening drive and prized free agent
acquisition Julius Peppers recorded his rst
sack of the preseason in the Packers 31-21
victory Friday night over the Oakland
Raiders.
The game was stopped for several minutes
in the second quarter after Raiders line-
backer Sio Moore was taken off the eld
with a neck injury. He gave a thumb-up sign
while the crowd gave him a standing ova-
tion. Moore was taken to a hospital.
The Raiders also lost two other defensive
starters to head injuries in cornerback Tarell
Brown and linebacker Nick Roach.
A rst-team defense that allowed three
touchdown drives in four possessions in the
rst two preseason games had its ups and
down against Rodgers, who nished 9 of 20
for 139 yards playing into the second quar-
ter.
Matt Schaub played into the third, nish-
ing 13 of 27 for 110 yards for Oakland.
Backup Matt McGloin threw for two fourth-
quarter touchdowns to Brice Butler, from 19
and 28 yards. McGloin nished 10 of 17 for
118 yards.Lacy just played in the first
series, but the 2013 Offensive Rookie of
the Year had the Raiders on their heels. He
nished with six rushes for 36 yards and the
touchdown.
Backup running back DuJuan Harris added
56 yards on 12 carries, and added 42 yards
on two catches. A Raiders defense that
allowed an average of 89.5 yards over the
rst weeks allowed 78 in the rst half.
The game inched along slowly by the
middle of the third quarter with the Packers
up by three scores and backups competing
littering both lineups.
The Raiders only touchdown came on
their second series of the rst half after a
handful of missed tackles helped Maurice
Jones-Drew dart 40 yards for a score to tie it
at 7.

Offensive lineman JonathanMartin was enbroiled in a bullying scandal while in Miami last
season.The former Stanford star signed with the 49ers in the offseason,reuniting him with his
college coach, Jim Harbaugh. Martins versatility could secure his spot on the 49ers roster.
By Janie McCauley
SANTA CLARA Early in his career,
Jonathan Martin had a harder time keeping
plays straight while shifting from one side
of the offensive line to the other.
That ability and versatility now might
help earn him a job with the San Francisco
49ers after what coach Jim Harbaugh consid-
ers an impressive rst training camp with
the team.
Martin feels t and well
adapted in the offense and
his new surroundings,
having moved past a
three-week bout with
mononucleosis this
spring and his tumultuous
departure from the Miami
Dolphins last October
amid a bullying scandal.
These days, its all
about football.
I have clear eyes looking forward,
focused on being a part of this team,
Martin said Friday. Im just looking for-
ward and doing my best to continue my NFL
career and contribute to a team thats as good
as the 49ers.
The 25-year-old Martin is concerning
himself with all that he can control to earn a
spot on the 53-man roster when nal cuts
are complete Aug. 30. He has started both
preseason games at right tackle in place of
starter Anthony Davis, who is recovering
from offseason shoulder surgery. Martin
also has played snaps on the left side. He is
at full strength after the May bout with
mono and the weight loss that came with it.
Thats how I look at it: control the con-
trolables. Im doing my best to play well in
these last two preseason games and whatev-
er happens happens and Ill have no regrets
in the effort I put out and in my lm study
and work ethic, Martin said. Theres still
stuff Im cleaning up technique wise,
Martin said. Im starting to think less and
play faster and thats kind of the goal head-
ing into Week 1.

It was a gesture in the true spirit of
Baseball Without Borders.
When Juan Bustos Sr. started Baseball
Without Borders based in South San
Francisco in 1995, he envisioned a mis-
sion which united different cultures through the
sport of baseball. But when a 10-player team
of 13 and 14 year olds bound for Italy in July
saw two players back out of the trip, the roster
suddenly dwindled to eight players. So instead
of cancelling the trip, Bustos called upon
Claudio Cipone, an opposing coach from the
previous years European trip.
An Argentina native who previously coached
in Italy before relocating to Spain, Cipone
arranged for ve Spanish players to join the
Baseball Without Borders squad. So, the team
swung through Bologna, Italy to pick up the
Spanish quintet before traveling to Rimini,
Italy to begin a seven-game tournament.
It was more the experience than the tour-
nament, Bustos said. We couldnt nd suf-
cient players. We only had eight players
so what we did is we reached out to our
friends in Spain and brought in ve kids.
The trip marks the third straight year
Baseball Without Borders has travelled to
Italy. The organization also sent an 18-and-
under team to Central America, where they
played in Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
Through its 20-year existence, Baseball
Without Borders has donated equipment to
14 countries, including South Africa,
Nigeria, Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela,
Columbia, the Philippines, Ukraine,
Kosovo and Afghanistan.
We saw a lot of kids internationally that
had no equipment, so we gured what well do
is well bring down equipment and get a a-
vor for the international game, Bustos said.
The 13 and 14 year olds got a taste of
Italian living through their weeklong trip
in July.
Baseball Without Borders internationalizing game
By Joseph White
WASHINGTON The Washington
Nationals winning streak ended at a team
record-tying 10 games Friday night when
rookie Joe Panik hit his rst major league
home run and sent the San Francisco Giants
to a 10-3 romp.
Panik went 4 for 5 in his rst four-hit
game, highlighted by his three-run shot to
center eld.
Tim Hudson and four relievers quieted bats
of the Nationals, who apparently dont have
an inexhaustible supply of comeback wins
and last-at-bat heroics. During their success
streak, Washington had seven one-run vic-
tories, ve come-from-behind wins and ve
walk-offs.
Hudson (9-9) allowed one earned run over
5 1-3 innings for his rst since win July 19.
Javier Lopez, Jean Machi, Sergio Romo and
Juan Gutierrez finished the job for the
Giants, who have won six of eight.
Doug Fister (12-4) threw six innings and
uncharacteristically gave up a pair of
homers Nos. 12 and 13 allowed this sea-
son.
The Nationals winning run had become
suspense baseball theater at its best, always
with a happy ending for the team in red and
white. The staff ERA over during the streak
was 1.82, and there were regular Gatorade
baths for the player who inevitably would
get the game-ending hit.
Manager Matt Williams found himself
having to answer to a promise he made to a
television network earlier this season about
doing his famous Babe Ruth impersonation
if his team won 10 in a row. He says hell do
it eventually, but that the middle of a pen-
nant race is not the proper time.

OAKLAND Sean Doolittle could-
nt nd much fault with his latest out-
ing, which was strange considering
the Athletics closer nearly ruined
Sonny Grays best start in more than
four weeks.
A game-ending strikeout of pinch-
hitter Chris Iannetta turned out to be
the perfect remedy.
Doolittle gave up two hits and a walk
in the ninth inning, but recorded the
nal two outs for his 19th save Friday
night, preserving Oaklands 5-3 win
over the Los Angeles Angels in a
matchup of ALWest rivals.
Theyre not all going to be pretty,
but that was a really, really important
win to be able to nail down, Doolittle
said. That was a huge game for us.
There was a lot of Adrenalin owing.
Coco Crisp hit his 15th career lead-
off home run and Stephen Vogt added a
solo shot for Oakland in the opener of
a three-game series. Sam Fuld hit a go-
ahead triple in the sixth inning and the
As pulled within one game of the divi-
sion-leading Angels.
Angels manager Mike Scioscia noted
before the game that the pennant race
is in full bloom.
The night had that type of feel, too.
Gray (13-7) allowed three runs and
six hits over 8 1-3 innings to end a
monthlong losing streak. He settled
down after a shaky start to win for the
rst time July 26.
Oaklands opening day starter,
Gray had lost his previous four
starts that skid came after he had
won six straight decisions.
Gray struck out ve, walked two
and left to a rousing ovation from
the crowd of 33,810.
Fuld tripled off reliever Jason
Grilli (1-2) as part of Oaklands
two-run sixth.
We havent played a game like
that, that crisp, for a while, As
manager Bob Melvin said.
(When) we took the lead it really
felt like we were nally in charge
of a game, where we hadnt been in
a while.
Mike Trout and Josh Hamilton
homered for the Angels.
There were a lot of good things
on the eld and some things we did-
nt get done, said Scioscia, whose
club is 0-4 at the Oakland Coliseum
this season. We havent gotten it
down up here yet this season.
The Angels, owners of the best
record in the majors, didnt get
much rest before the game. They
completed a four-game sweep of
the Boston Red Sox late Thursday,
then took a redeye ight to California.
Players and coaches didnt make it to
their hotel in San Francisco until 4
a.m. Friday.
Trout hit his 28th home run off Gray
in the rst while Hamilton belted his
solo shot with one out in the fourth.
The As scored on Crisps leadoff
home run in the rst. He also doubled
and scored on a throwing error by
Angels shortstop Erick Aybar in the
fth.
Angels starter Hector Santiago
allowed two runs on ve hits in ve
innings. The left-hander was replaced
two batters after getting hit on his
pitching hand by Josh Donaldsons
line drive.

BOSTON Red Sox manager John Farrell calls out-
elder Rusney Castillo an exciting, athletic player.
The Cuban defector is expected to show off those tal-
ents for Boston soon, perhaps within the next week.
Farrell spoke Friday amid multiple media reports that
the Red Sox had agreed with Castillo on a $72.5 million,
seven-year contract.
Red Sox president Larry Lucchino declined to com-
ment.
Farrell was aware of Bostons pursuit of the 27-year-
old Castillo and discussed him before the opener of a
three-game series with the Seattle
Mariners.
Above-average speed, can play
center eld or right eld, Farrell said.
What kind of power? What kind of
average? Obviously, our scouts liked
him enough. If the reports are true, its
a signicant investment and its an
exciting, athletic player, from all
accounts.
Farrell knew of the reports of the
agreement, but said administrative
details must be nalized before an ofcial announcement
is made. The rst season of the deal could begin this
month.
The 5-foot-9 Castillo would join fellow Cuban Yoenis
Cespedes in Bostons new-look outeld. The Red Sox
obtained Cespedes from Oakland and Allen Craig from
St. Louis at the July 31 trade deadline.
The Red Sox have had trouble nding a replacement for
Jacoby Ellsbury since the center elder signed with the
New York Yankees after Boston won the World Series last
season.
Jackie Bradley Jr. played there most of this season and
is an outstanding defensive player but has struggled as a
hitter. He was sent to Triple-A Pawtucket on Monday
when the Red Sox recalled Mookie Betts to play the
position.
Now the job likely will go to the speedy Castillo, a
right-handed hitter who is considered a good outelder
but not as good as Bradley.
Shane Victorino, an outstanding right elder who also
can play center, is out for the season after back surgery
and has one year left on his contract.
Bostons lineup is much better now than its been for
much of the season.
Its lengthened out, Farrell said. You could say right
now maybe were leaning a little heavy on the right-
handed side, but prior to opening day next year theres a
lot of time and I know a lot of thought will be put in as
to how we improve this team.
Castillo played center eld for the Cuban national
team.
Farrell said the transitions made by recent Cuban defec-
tors such as Cespedes, Los Angeles Dodgers outelder
Yasiel Puig and Chicago White Sox rookie rst baseman
Jose Abreu have been impressive.
Hopefully, he said, the same holds true for every
other player that comes over.
Abreu began Friday hitting .303 with 32 homers and
90 RBIs.
Hes a guy that has all the tools, as we call it, Abreu
said of Castillo through a translator. Hes a ve-tool
player, and so long as he stays mentally tough, hes
going to be able to do some good things.
In Castillos best two years in Cuba, 2011 and 2012,
he hit .324 and .332 and totaled 34 homers, 145 RBIs
and 51 stolen bases.

We played them before and beat them 13-
2, said Austin Kryszczuk, who had three hits
in as many at-bats, scored three times and
had three RBIs in that game. We expected a
dogght that game. But (this time) its not
going to be 13-2. This game is going to be,
like, 2-1. Avery tight game.
Maybe so. But Las Vegas has had an easier
time in the tournament than scorekeepers
have had spelling Kryszczuk.
In the Aug. 17 meeting with Chicago, Las
Vegas outhit Jackie Robinson West 13-2
behind Brennan Holligans sterling pitch-
ing. He struck out six and walked two, mak-
ing short work of the game thanks to the
offensive onslaught backing him.
Leadoff hitter Zach Hare, who also drove in
three runs and scored three against Chicago,
believes he and his teammates have to guard
against being overcondent or expecting
a repeat in the rematch.
Some people may think its going to be
easy or something, he said. Well just
have to keep our minds straight and work
harder.
ALas Vegas team had never before reached
the Little League World Series. Now its
within one more win of taking on an
International team the winner between
Seoul and Tokyo, also on Saturday in the
championship game a day later.
Despite its domination, Las Vegas has
gone relatively unnoticed through the tour-
nament.
East Region champ Philadelphia and
megawatt star Mone Davis have stolen a lot of
the headlines along with Chicago. The
Jackie Robinson West squad is the rst Urban
Initiative team to reach the World Series since
2002.
Winning in obscurity is just ne with the
team from the desert.
Its not a bad deal, said coach Roland
Watkins. As (manager Aston Cave) called it
the other day, were sort of Team Incognito.
Wed rather stay under the radar because that
allows us to focus on the things we need to do.
Chicago manager Darold Butler actually
believes the lopsided loss to Las Vegas helped
his team focus in its 6-5 knockout win over
Philadelphia.
I really did feel like the game we lost was a
blessing, Butler said.
Butler also believes his team might take it as
a challenge, so thoroughly was it beaten in the
rst meeting.
Its hard to beat a team twice, he said.
These guys here are so competitive and they
want a shot. I cant see (this) game being
exactly like it was the rst time. Were going
to be prepared.
Getting 12- and 13-year-olds to focus is an
uphill task, as any parent knows. Certainly,
coaches know it, too.
But Cave and his coaching staff must be
doing a good job of it, because their team has
run-ruled two teams already (an umpire calls the
game when a team is up by 10 or more runs
after the four innings).
You never know what youre going to get,
you never know whos going to show up at the
eld that day, is how Bob Kryszczuk, a coach
and Austins dad, put it. As a coaching staff,
we just try to keep them relaxed. They play
much better when theyre relaxed.
And its much easier to relax when youre
averaging 11 runs a game and winning by an
average of more than nine runs a game.
Vegas favored heading into U.S. title game
By Doug Ferguson
PARAMUS, N.J. Now that the majors are
over, Adam Scott is going after the only big
prize left this year a shot at the $10 million
FedEx Cup title.
Scott ran off four straight birdies in the mid-
dle of his round Friday, and then closed with an
approach that settled a foot from the cup for a
tap-in birdie and a 6-under 65. That gave him a
share of the 36-hole lead with Cameron
Tringale at The Barclays.
Three dozen players were within ve shots of
the lead, a group that includes British Open and
PGAchampion Rory McIlroy. The worlds No.
1 player, going after his fourth straight victo-
ry, shook off some rust on the range and was
nine shots better than his opening round with a
65.
Scott won The Barclays a year ago at Liberty
National, and it felt like a bonus in a year in
which he won his rst major at the Masters. He
never had a serious chance at any of the majors
this year, and he is looking at the FedEx Cup
playoffs differently.
Theres so much to play for, and for me to be
satised with the year, I need four really great
weeks, Scott said.
Scott and Tringale were at 8-under 134. Kevin
Chappell (67), Brendon Todd (69) and Jim
Furyk (69) were one shot behind. The group
two shots back included Henrik Stenson (64),
Jason Day (64) and Ernie Els, who is playing
his sixth straight tournament and shot a 68.
Some scorecards needed more than just num-
bers, starting with Phil Mickelson.
Lefty took a bogey on the ve-and-dime
fth hole, thusly named because Byron Nelson
always used a 5-iron and a wedge. Mickelson,
like so many other players, tried to drive the
green and took a wild detour. His shot bounced
into the grandstand, behind a row of seats on
the thin carpet of the hospitality area. Instead
of dropping into deep grass, he chose to play it
out of the bleachers, right next to a half-lled
glass of beer on a table.
It went too long, over the green and into a
bunker, though it gave the crowd a thrill.
It wasnt hard to make contact. It was hard to
hit it on that skinny little green and get it to
stop, Mickelson said.
Scott, Tringale tied for the lead at Barclays
SPORTS 14
Travelling with coach Mychael Urban,
the Bay Area media personality, the team
enjoyed quite an exquisite voyage. After
touching down in Colico, they travelled
through the banks of Lake Como, where
they took some time out to watch televised
matches from the soccer World Cup. From
there, they caught a tour of the duomo in
Milan, went looking for George Clooney in
Bellagio though they never found him
then swung through Verona and Venice
before heading to Bologna to retrieve their
new Spanish teammates.
Once in Rimini a small city north of
San Marino on the western Italian coast
along the Adriatic Sea the kids had plen-
ty of distractions. According to Bustos, the
beach was a half block in one direction
while the baseball diamond was a half block
inland.
Between the baseball experience, the
water slides down the block, the beach and
the gelatos, it was tough on them, Bustos
said jokingly.
The team ended their Italian tour by send-
ing a good portion of their equipment home
with their new Spanish teammates.
According to Bustos, the challenge of
procuring equipment in Spain is because
none of the sporting goods stores stock
baseball equipment. And shipping equip-
ment there is costly because of duty taxes at
customs. So, bestowing equipment on the
Spanish players to take home was too good
an opportunity to pass up.
In Central America, however, the organi-
zation donates equipment for very different
reasons. According to Bustos, there is plen-
ty of baseball equipment available in
Nicaragua. Being the poorest country in
Central America, however, for an average
kid in Nicaragua buying baseball equipment
is cost prohibitive.
Its not the fact they dont have the
stores. Its that they dont have the money
to buy it, Bustos said.
In conjunction with a sponsorship by
United Airlines the company allowed
Baseball Without Borders to ship 21 bags of
equipment free of charge, according to
Bustos the team, coached by South San
Francisco native Brian Pierotti, delivered
an array of equipment during their travels to
Central America.
They delivered bats, helmets, catchers
gear, umpires gear, 150 baseballs and
approximately 40 gloves, according to
Bustos.
Oh my goodness, you should have seen
the kids eyes, Bustos said. It was kind of
like Christmas in August. You could see the
twinkle in their eyes.
While in Nicaragua, the Baseball Without
Borders 18-and-under team played five
games, including two with the Dennis
Martinez Baseball Academy. They also trav-
elled to Costa Rica for one game in La Cruz.
Bustos said the rst trip Baseball Without
Borders ever took was some years ago to
Mexicali, Mexico. And it was then he real-
ized how differently the game was distin-
guished from culture to culture.
The quality of baseball they play is just
phenomenal, Bustos said. They are good
players all-around. While our kids arent
playing as much, theyre playing constant-
l y. Mexicali only gets three inches of rain a
year and their elds are all dirt. So, their
eye-hand coordination is just phenomenal,
and very few times do they come up here and
make errors on the eld. I wanted our kids to
see that and experience that. These kids
dont have a whole lot. Our kids have a lot.
Baseball Without Borders relies on
fundraisers to generate the monies to make
its breadth of baseball operations possible.
In addition to the fundraising norm of crab
feeds and coffee sales, the organization raf-
es off some big-ticket items. Some of its
upcoming rafe headliners include Giants
tickets, 49ers tickets, seats from
Candlestick Park and dinner with Giants
pitcher Tim Hudson.
But next year, Baseball Without Borders
is planning its rst domestic baseball expe-
dition. According to Bustos, the local teams
will not travel abroad next summer. Instead,
the organization will host teams from
around the world with commitments
already from teams in Spain and Argentina
and will look to play tournaments in
Northern and Southern California, as well as
parlay the baseball tourneys into a trip for
all the players to Disneyland.
If we can pull that off we will have com-
mitted a coup, because that would be one
awesome tournament, Bustos said.

Oakland Maurice Jones-Drew breaks a tackle from GreenBays A.J. Hawk
and rumbles 40 yards for a touchdown.
The Packers rst-team defense,
getting its more extensive play-
ing time of the preseason, held
Oakland scoreless from there.
Besides the sack, Peppers also
stood up Raiders running back
Darren McFadden in trafc for a
short gain around the left end. It
was just the kind of big-play pro-
duction coach Mike McCarthy was
hoping to get from Peppers when
the Packers signed the former
Chicago Bear as a free agent.
Green Bay did lose defensive
lineman B.J. Raji to an arm injury.
He remained on the sideline for
much of the game with a black
sleeve on his arm.
The Raiders again struggled to
produce under Schaub, who was
signed as a free agent from the
Houston Texans. Oakland had four
straight three-and-outs at one
point in the rst half, then turned
the ball over at the Packers 26 late
in the second quarter after Schaub
fumbled on a sack by Nick Perry.
Schaubs best chance for a
touchdown pass came in the third
quarter, but backpedaling fullback
Marcel Reese bobbled one pass
away in the end zone before Jones
scoring grab was overturned.
Both Jones and safety Charles
Woodson got ovations when the
former Packers were shown on the
video boards.
Jones, though, no longer has
Rodgers throwing him the ball.
The 2011 NFL MVPs comple-
tion rate would have been higher if
not for a handful of drops. He con-
nected on touchdowns to tight end
Andrew Quarless and receiver
Jordy Nelson.

Harbaugh has called this another impor-
tant week for Martin and all his players.
Jonathan Martin has done very well.
Been a great addition to our football team.
Sure glad we got him, Harbaugh said. Like
everybody else on our football team, work-
ing to improve in certain areas. Hes been
very effective and efcient.
San Francisco, winless in its rst two pre-
season games and outscored 57-3 after a 34-
0 rout by Denver last weekend, is scheduled
to host the San Diego Chargers on Sunday
afternoon at Levis Stadium. New sod was
laid Friday after the initial grass failed to
hold up as long as expected. It had divots
after Sundays game and became slippery
Wednesday, forcing the 49ers to stop mid-
way through an open practice.
Harbaugh said the eld wouldnt affect him
letting his starters go deeper into the game,
as is the usual plan with the third preseason
game.
That could mean Martin has a longer stint
against the Chargers. He has played 57
snaps so far, and hes ready to mix it up at
different spots again if asked.
Its been good, just trying to do my best
so I can ip all the plays in my head left to
right and right to left and be ready to go
wherever Im called on, he said. It was
(hard) early on in my career, not as much
anymore. Make sure Im sharp and know
what Im doing out there.
Each day he pulls on a 49ers uniform and
takes to the practice eld is another that
puts him further from last season. Martin
left the Dolphins in late October, accusing
teammate Richie Incognito of bullying. An
NFL investigation determined Incognito
and two other Dolphins offensive linemen
engaged in persistent harassment of Martin.
Its been great, everything expected and
more, Martin said of his new home. Its a
talented team, a great group of guys and its
fun to be part of something special.
NOTES: S Antoine Bethea is expected to
be medically cleared for the game after last
Sundays concussion, but Harbaugh said he
probably wont play. ... Harbaugh hasnt
heard from the NFLabout a possible suspen-
sion for LB Aldon Smith following his off-
eld legal issues, and the coach isnt sure
when he will know more. I havent gotten
any indication, I dont know, Harbaugh
said. My crystal ball, I dont have it. ... A
few weeks post-surgery on his torn biceps,
there is belief NT Glenn Dorsey could return
before the end of the season. All indica-
tions that Ive gotten is that it looks like a
three-and-a-half month that he would be
out, Harbaugh said.

He then induced a chopper up the middle
from Pablo Sandoval, but the ball bounced
so high that it became an ineld hit.
That was enough to start the game-turning
rally. Michael Morse followed with a single,
and Panik put the next pitch just right of the
402-foot mark to give the Giants a 3-1 lead.
Jayson Werths solo homer led off the
fourth to cut the Nationals decit to one,
but Buster Posey matched him in the sixth to
make it 4-2. Travis Ishikawa added insurance
with a two-run double in the eighth, and the
Giants pounded Ross Detwiler for four runs
in the ninth.
Up next
San Franciscos Tim Lincecum (10-8, 4.48
ERA) faces Jordan Zimmermann (8-5, 2.97)
on Saturday in the second game of the three-
game series.

Injured minor leaguer
airlifted, game suspended
VIERA, Fla. A minor league player in
the New York Mets organization could soon
be released from the hospital after he was
airlifted from the eld Friday because of a
head injury.
The Mets said 22-year-old rst baseman
Manuel Hilario began to experience
seizures and remained unresponsive after
his head hit the knee of the Nationals sec-
ond baseman while trying to break up a dou-
ble play in the rookie Gulf Coast League
game.
Hilario was treated on the eld and then
taken by helicopter to a hospital. The Mets
said he had a CT scan that appears to be
normal. He is talkative, in good spirits and
could be discharged tomorrow.
The game was suspended in the fourth
inning after the injury.
Hilario is in his fourth season in the
Mets'system. He collided with second base-
man Younaifred Aguero in the game at
Washingtons spring training complex.

I fall asleep to the glow of Netix and,
when I awake, begin the digital litany of my
day: the relentless email and news, the
Facebook and Twitter feeds, the blogs and
mindless videos, and on and on. I remember
s o me wh a t
v a g u e l y
when I used
pay phones
to dictate the
story of the
day, when an
online life
was limited
to the
s cr eechi ng
dial-up of
AOL and, as
a child,
when even
that was a
foreign idea.
Mi c h a e l
Harris offers in his book The End of
Absence a fascinating assessment of this
moment we inhabit and, for those old
enough to remember, highlights the rare
opportunity we have to recall what it was
like before we lled our day with unstop-
pable status updates, conversations inter-
rupted by Wikipedia fact checks and the suf-
focating weight of thousands of emails.
Its all become so normal that it feels as if
we knew all of Harris observations before
we read them, though they remain insightful
and stunning and frightening. We are
denizens of a world where facts are invented,
true expertise is devalued, authenticity is at
a premium and, more than anything else,
distractions reign.
As we embrace a technologys gifts, we
usually fail to consider what they ask from
us in return the subtle, hardly noticeable
payments we make in exchange for their
marvelous service, he writes. We dont
notice, for example, that the gaps in our
schedules have disappeared because were
too busy delighting in the amusements that
ll them. We forget the games that child-
hood boredom forged because boredom
itself has been outlawed. Why would we
bother to register the end of solitude, of
ignorance, of lack? Why would we care that
an absence has disappeared?

LOS ANGELES If it walks like a drama
and talks like a drama and yet calls itself a
comedy, thats just ne with the Emmy
Awards.
But the audience for Mondays ceremony
may suffer momentary confusion when, say,
the Netix womens prison saga Orange Is
the New Black pops up as a nominee for
best comedy series.
While the Emmys have included category-
busters before, the 66th prime-time contest
is an especially freewheeling one.
The Emmys are being loosey-goosey
about category placement, said Tom
ONeil, author of The Emmys reference
book and organizer of the Gold Derby
awards website.
Such flexibility isnt unusual when it
comes to TV awards in Britain, where cate-
gory definitions are less stringent and
series formats are more uid than in the
United States, said Gareth Neame, the U.K.
executive producer of PBS Emmy-winning
Downton Abbey, a nominee once more.
My view is all these producers, studios
and (networks) are just giving their best
shot to try to get their shows nominated,
and what producer wouldnt do that? Neame
said.
The tactic isnt frivolous. Shows are
angling to better their odds of winning TVs
top honor, which can bring not only pres-
tige but also possibly more viewers and
attention that may usher in more viewers is
what niche shows such as Orange Is the
New Black crave.
Emmy bragging rights are another matter.
With the explosion of acclaimed cable and
online content, traditional broadcast net-
works are nding themselves shut out or
lightly represented in the major categories
including best drama and comedy series.
Network stars are being elbowed aside, too.
NBC late-night host and ceremony host
Seth Meyers is ready to take advantage of
broadcastings plight.
Thats a thing that I think everyone in
the audience will be aware of, and being
someone whos on a broadcast network
makes it a lot more fun to make jokes about
than if I were someone on the cable side
lording it over everyone, he said, chuck-
ling.
The decision by Orange to compete as a

LOS ANGELES Agay cou-
ple who have been together for
almost four decades are separat-
ed at least physically by
factors beyond their control in
Love Is Strange, the latest ten-
der and meandering exploration
of human relationships from
indie darling Ira Sachs (Keep
the Lights On, Forty Shades
of Blue).
Set in the Big Apple, this is a
sprawling yet intimate narrative,
constructed almost entirely of
in-between moments rather than
the big turning points and
tragedies. The starting point is
the housing problem of two
newlyweds but longtime lovers,
played with enormous generosi-
ty by Alfred Molina and John
Lithgow, but the film slowly
expands its vision to encompass
a much larger cast that includes
Marisa Tomei and Cheyenne
Jackson.
Love Is Strange opens on what
should be the happiest day in the
lives of Ben (Lithgow) and
George (Molina), as they get
ready in their tasteful Manhattan
apartment for their wedding.

FOSTER CITY It feels like a
well-armed Christmas morning at
Sledgehammer Games.
Michael Condrey and Glen
Schoeld, co-founders of the video
game studio responsible for the next
Call of Duty installment, are excit-
edly unwrapping virtual goodies in
the chummy meeting room that con-
nects their ofces: a pistol with a
polycarbonate grip! a rie equipped
with a ballistics computer! A leather
captains cap!
You can end up with something
like 22 billion combinations,
Condrey told The Associated Press
recently while zealously swapping
the gear and guns on his on-screen
avatar. Its kind of an outlandish
number, but its not really about the
number. Its just that its fun to you.
You can be one of 22 billion. You can
nally, really customize your charac-
ter in Call of Duty.
It took him three weeks to calcu-
late that, joked Schoeld, the Oscar
Madison to Condreys Felix Unger.
As players snipe opponents and
meet goals in multiplayer match-ups,
they could end up with three different
pieces of such loot each round. While
virtual booty is hardly an original idea
in gaming, Condrey and Schoeld
expect their new swag system to
make a big impact on Call of Duty,
where even subtle changes can shift

WEEKEND JOURNAL 20
Initially somewhat counterintuitively,
Sachs ensures that everything looks rather
ordinary: they get up, shower, dress, are
running late and cant nd a taxi. Indeed, as
will become clear from the lm that fol-
lows, this is not the happiest day in their
lives exactly because the duo, whove been
together for 39 years, have mastered the art
of being happy with what they have, every
single day.
Thus, the vows are dispatched in a scene
under a minute long, and the marriage cele-
bration takes place in the couples apart-
ment and feels like any number of parties
they must have had with friends over the
years. Wedding guests include Bens
nephew, Elliot (Darren Burrows), a busy
businessman; Elliots wife, Kate (Tomei), a
novelist who works from home; their
teenage kid, Joey (Charlie Tahan), and the
two party-loving gay cops who live in the
lovebirds building, Roberto (Manny Perez)
and Ted (Jackson).
When news of the marriage reaches the
ears of the New York archdiocese, George,
whos a Catholic school music teacher, is
red, and the couple is forced to sell their
apartment. When finding new lodgings
takes longer than anticipated, they ask their
friends for a roof over their head, resulting
in the separation of the two.
Sachs and co-writer Mauricio Zacharias,
from Lights, get the familiar humor and
half-evoked memories that are so typical of
long-term relationships exactly right, and a
short scene in a historic gay bar is not only
funny and real but also casually reveals
some of the core values that have kept this
couple going for all these years. That said,
the rather strange living arrangements of
the two, divorced physically if never emo-
tionally, is one of a number of elements that
has to be accepted for the lm to work; a
makeshift mattress for two somewhere
would have turned this into a short.
But more important things ring true,
starting with George and Bens relation-
ship, which is an inspiration for people
like Elliot and Kate, both too absorbed by
their work to really follow their only son.
Lithgow and Molina are impressively tuned
into the material and each other, and Tomei
and the young Tahan deliver the lms other
heartfelt, fully rounded performances.
Burrows and especially Perez and Jackson
are given less to do, and theres a sense
something of their stories ended up on the
cutting room oor.
The soothing and occasionally quietly
soaring music of Chopin, heard throughout
the lm, helps set the right tone for this
understated drama. Cinematographer
Christos Voudouris gives the characters
room to breathe but is also intimate when
necessary, while editors Michael Taylor and
Affonso Goncalves string the series of
small moments together with grace, turning
the lm into a quietly effective overview of
relationships, feelings and outside occur-
rences that simply have to be dealt with.
Love is Strange, a Sony Pictures
Classics release, is rated R by the Motion
Picture Association of America for lan-
guage. Running time: 94 minutes.
LOVE
sure on four-time best-comedy winner
Modern Family. The ABC series
vying for a record-tying fifth win (with
Frasier) against a buzzy Internet new-
comer may look a lot less modern to
Emmy voters.
The Netflix series already flexed its
muscle at the creative arts Emmys held a
week ago, when Uzo Aduba was honored
as best guest actress in a comedy for her
role as prisoner Suzanne Crazy Eyes
Warren. She is the first online per-
former to win an Emmy.
Another apparent fish-out-of-water:
Showtimes dysfunctional family series
Shameless. After coming up empty as a
drama contender, it gained the TV acade-
mys OK to jump into the comedy pool and
snared a lead comedy actor bid for William
H. Macy.
The other comedy series contenders are
The Big Bang Theory, Louie, Silicon
Valley and Veep.
Shifting categories isnt unprecedented.
In the 1950s, Father Knows Best moved
between comedy and drama and captured
trophies in each, and Moonlighting did
the same in the 1980s, ONeil said. The
academy tightened the rules in 2009, but
obviously didnt make them ironclad.
EMMY
how the game is played by millions online.
We call it supply drop, said Condrey. It
provides you with thousands of rewards for
time played and accomplishments for your
play style more than 350 weapon vari-
ants, thousands of pieces of unique character
gear and consumable one-off rewards like
extra perks and score-streaks.
The more customizable virtual army is one
of several updates coming to the multiplayer
mode of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare,
the latest installment of Activision
Blizzards wildly successful shoot-em-up
franchise. Advanced Warfare, scheduled for
release Nov. 4, is setting the 10-year-old
military series sights squarely on the future.
The single-player campaign kicks off in
2054 with a global terrorist attack on sever-
al nuclear reactors. The raid leads to the rise
of massive private military companies, such
as Atlas Corp., a ctional outt armed with
futuristic war toys like walking tanks thats
led by the power-hungry Jonathan Irons.
Hes portrayed in a voice- and motion-cap-
ture performance by Kevin Spacey.
The high-tech elements extend to the
games multiplayer matches, the addictive
mode where Call of Duty players spend
most of their time. Advanced Warfare
gamers will each be outtted with a cus-
tomizable exoskeleton suit that enables
them to quickly dodge incoming re, create
makeshift shields, boost into the air and
slam down on enemies.
Its a giant leap from the traditional and
realistic run-and-gun movement of past Call
of Duty chapters.
It changes the way we designed the
maps, said Schoeld. Weve got verticality
now. I think for people whove been playing
Call of Duty for 10 years and are used to
playing a certain way, theyre going to have
to learn a new way to play. It changes your
tactics and the speed of the game. You can get
up onto roofs and much taller places now.
Condrey and Schofield, who formed
Sledgehammer in 2009, started tinkering on
Advanced Warfare three years ago, after
shelving a third-person Call of Duty title
and nishing work on Call of Duty: Modern
Warfare 3.
At the time, (Activision) said to take
some chances, and if we go too far, theyll
tell us and we did, said Condrey, who pre-
viously worked with Schoeld on the Dead
Space sci- series at Electronic Arts Inc.
We took some chances, and a few times
they told us we took it too far. There was a
desire from Activision to innovate in a big
way. This isnt your same old Call of
Duty.
Advanced Warfare is poised to be a piv-
otal test for the aging Call of Duty fran-
chise after 2013s Ghosts sold less than
2012s Black Ops II at launch. There also
are a few newcomers to the shooter genre this
year, including Activisions Destiny from
Bungie and EAs Titanfall from Respawn
Entertainment a game that similarly fea-
tures players being propelled through the air.

5 7 , 0 0 0 THEATRE SEATS: THE
CURTAIN GOES UP MORNING,
NOON AND NIGHT IN BRAN-
SON, MISSOURI. On a busy day, the
small (pop. 10,842) southern
Missouri town of Branson, in the
rolling hills of the Ozarks, plays host
to 50,000 guests, many of whom have
come to enjoy the shows for which the
town is famous. But there is rarely a
worry about getting a ticket ... with a
collective 57,000 seats in four-dozen
theaters, Branson stages more than
100 live shows lled with comedy,
magic, dancing, acrobats and music ...
LOTS of music. From rock n roll to
country, western to classical, and jazz
to bluegrass, music is so woven into
the fabric of the town that it is com-
pletely natural that Branson is known
as the Live Music Show Capital of the
World. Shows are scheduled from mid-
morning into the evening, so visitors
can easily indulge in this banquet of
performances.
IN THE BEGINNING: THE
SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS. The
Branson theater tradition can be traced
to Harold Bell Wrights best-selling
1907 novel, The Shepherd of the
Hills, set in Branson. Wrights book
drew throngs of devoted readers to the
Branson area to see the places depicted
in his story, and a dramatization of The
Shepherd of the Hills was eventually
staged as a tourist attraction. Now, as
it has been for 55 years, Wrights tale
of love, loss and redemption may be
seen in an outdoor arena with stadium
seating. The Shepherd of the Hills is
told in broad and dramatic strokes,
with masked vigilantes on galloping
horses, a chugging 1908 DeWitt auto-
mobile, and even a log cabin that is set
on fire for every performance. The
show runs approximately two hours,
which includes an intermission that
allows audience members to mingle
with the cast. For more information
visit www.theshepherdofthehills.com
or call (800) 653-6288.
AN EXTRAORDINARY JONAH
AT SIGHT & SOUND THEATRE. In
a large, domed building on a hilltop in
Branson is Sight & Sound Theatre,
containing a 300-foot-long stage that
wraps around three sides of a 2,000-
person auditorium. One of the largest
stages in the country, it is the home of
Jonah, a family-oriented, faith-based
musical, whose action spreads across
71 substantial set pieces, the grandest
of which is a moving 50-foot-long
ship that weighs more than 30,000
pounds. A cast of 41 actors performs
live vocals to an original score that
ranges from sweetly light-hearted to
stirringly operatic. Animal cast mem-
bers include sheep, highlander cattle,
camels, alpacas, horses, llamas, dogs,
donkeys and even a skunk. Two hours
and 15 minutes with one intermission.
Through Dec. 31. 1001 Shepherd of
the Hills Expressway - Branson, MO
65616. Behind-the-scene actor-guided
tours are available. For information
call (800) 377-1277 or visit
www.sight-sound.com.
AND ON THE LAKE, ITS THE
SHOWBOAT BRANSON BELLE.
There is one place in Branson where
the theater itself is part of the enter-
tainment ... on Table Rock Lake. Three
times a day the 278-foot-long stern-
wheeler Branson Belle moves smooth-
ly out from White River landing onto
the waters of the 43,000-acre, tree-
fringed lake. Cruises offer a three-
course, prepared-on-the-ship, sit-
down meal and a full stage show of
music and comedy in a 700-seat the-
ater. Be sure to visit the Branson
Belles top deck to enjoy the view, talk
to the crew and check out the captains
wheel. Made of solid maple wood, The
Wheel is more then 10 feet in diameter
and, yes, it DOES steer the showboat.
For information visit
Showboatbransonbellecom.
SEVENTH ANNUAL FALLTAS-
TIC SHOW SPREE. From Sept. 7-
14, fans can see 10 of their favorite

OH, AND DID YOU KNOW?
Performers come from all over the
world to work in Branson. Individual
theaters handle their own casting
calls. While there is no central ofce
for casting, the Branson League of
Theatre Owners and Show Producers
work together to help each other out.

long time. Andre Gide.

The doctors agreed Raymond Iwase, 85, of
Daly City, is not able to aid his defense
attorney against that charge plus one of
assault with a deadly weapon in the April 23
shooting.
Competency is a persons ability to aid in
his or her own defense while sanity is a per-
sons mental state at the time of a specic
incident.
The conclusion means Iwase will be sent
to a state mental facility for treatment rather
than stand trial and face imprisonment. If
doctors ever feel Iwase is mentally restored,
he will return to San Mateo County for pros-
ecution.
Iwase allegedly went to the medical ofce
at 1500 Southgate Ave. on April 23, located
the doctor and starting shooting at him. The
doctor wasnt injured in the shooting and
Iwase was later taken into custody at his
home where police also discovered a differ-
ent rearm.
Iwase was reportedly angry with the doc-
tor for pain treatment he received years ago
that he said wasnt effective.
His attorney rst raised doubts about his
competency in July at what was to be his
preliminary hearing. Criminal proceedings
have been suspended since then and will
remain on hold.
Iwase remains in custody on $2 million
bail and returns to court Oct. 7 for a formal
placement hearing.

What more is there to whittle away at here?
49ers Chief Operating Ofcer Al Guido
said the team, league ofcials and other
experts and consultants are working to
solve the issue and determine why the ini-
tial sod laid in April failed to hold up at
least well into the regular season as was
expected. There had been plans to re-sod at
some point this season when it was deemed
necessary.
What we knew is the sod wasnt going to
hold up for an NFL game. Obviously we did-
nt want to do it this early, Guido said.
Its unfortunate. In the circles of the NFL
world, this wasnt big news. Its big in the
fact we never planned to take it up this
early.
On Thursday, the Bandera Bermuda grass
turf installed in April at Levis was removed
and prepared for new rolls of sod after the
49ers played their rst game on the eld
Sunday in a 34-0 loss to the Denver
Broncos.
Harbaugh ordered players off the eld dur-
ing the practice Wednesday and had them
resume the session at the teams practice
eld next to the stadium, the team said.
The grass sod put in place Friday is deep-
er with more soil, providing a thicker base
that takes root better than the previous eld
and can be ready for football within a day or
two, ofcials said.
Amachine was used to install the rolls of
sod that compresses the turf so there are no
gaps between them and then a roller
machine was driven over the eld to make
the new grass rmer on the ground, the team
reported.
The replacement of elds is common in
the NFL and the 49ers expected to do it at
some point this year, although not neces-
sarily this early, according to the 49ers.
According to the 49ers, on Sunday and
Monday, the Philadelphia Eagles removed
its turf at Lincoln Financial Field following
two earlier practice sessions by the Eagles
and three outdoor concerts on the eld last
week.
The Eagles were able to replace the eld
by Monday night and the team played a
nationally televised game Thursday night
on it without any difculties, 49ers ofcials

SACRAMENTO Oscar winner Richard
Dreyfuss told California lawmakers
Thursday that he hopes the public will once
again view politics as a noble calling, and
he pledged to do his part through his civics
education initiative.
The 66-year-old actor best known for
Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third
Kind was honored by California state law-
makers for his work promoting civics in
public schools.
In 2008, he founded The Dreyfuss
Initiative, a nonprot that promotes teach-
ing about American democracy in class-
rooms nationwide. The initiative, among
other things, provides teachers with videos
and educational tools.
I want to remind you that it wasnt that
long ago that there were people who referred
to politicians and politics as a noble call-
ing, Dreyfuss told senators at the Capitol.
It hasnt been lately. And I pledge to get
back there as soon as possible.
Republican Sen. Mark Wyland presented
Dreyfuss with a resolution recognizing him
for speaking out about the deterioration of
civics education.
Wyland, who has promoted civics educa-
tion in the San Diego region he represents,
said its important to remind the public
about the importance of the nations fragile
system of government or risk losing it.
This is about preservation of this very,
very precious thing, which we do all day
long, the senator from Escondido said.
We consider this part of our job, but many,
many, many of our constituents and many,
many young people surveys show dont
know enough.
Dreyfuss won the Academy Award for best
actor in 1977 for The Goodbye Girl and
received a second nomination in 1995 for
Mr. Hollands Opus.
He urged lawmakers to work together for
the benet of future generations.
We have a responsibility to the America
of the future, Dreyfuss said.
Actor Dreyfuss: Politics should be noble calling

there were people who referred to politicians and
politics as a noble calling. ... It hasnt been lately. And I

BAGHDAD Gunmen attacked a
Sunni mosque during Friday prayers
and killed at least 64 people, prompt-
ing Sunni lawmakers to withdraw from
talks on forming a new, more inclusive
government capable of confronting
the Islamic extremists who have over-
run large swaths of Iraq.
It was not immediately clear if the
attack was carried out by Shiite militi-
amen or insurgents of the Islamic State
group, who have been advancing into
mixed Sunni-Shiite areas in volatile
Diyala province and have been known
to kill fellow Sunni Muslims who
refuse to submit to their harsh inter-
pretation of Islamic law.
However, Sunni lawmakers quickly
blamed the carnage on powerful Shiite
militias out to avenge an earlier bomb-
ing, and two major Sunni parliamen-
tary blocs pulled out of talks on form-
ing a new Cabinet. The move creates a
major hurdle for prime minister-desig-
nate Haider al-Abadi as he struggles to
reach out to disaffected Sunnis to form
a government that can confront the
Islamic State extremists.
Both al-Abadi and outgoing Prime
Minister Nouri al-Maliki condemned
the attack and called for an investiga-
tion.
The onslaught on the Musab bin
Omair Mosque in the village of Imam
Wais began with a suicide bombing
near its entrance, followed by a raid
by gunmen who stormed the build-
ing, opening fire on worshippers,
security officials said.
Iraqi security forces and Shiite mili-
tiamen raced to the scene to reinforce
security but stumbled on bombs plant-
ed by the militants, which allowed the
gunmen to ee, according to ofcials
in Imam Wais, 75 miles (120 kilome-
ters) northeast of Baghdad.

WASHINGTON Asenior White House ofcial raised
the possibility Friday of a broader American military
campaign that targets an Islamic extremist groups bases
in Syria, saying the U.S would take whatever action is
necessary to protect national security.
Were not going to be restricted by borders, said Ben
Rhodes, President Barack Obamas deputy national secu-
rity adviser.
The White House said the president has received no mil-
itary options beyond those he authorized earlier this
month for limited airstrikes against the Islamic State
group in Iraq and military aid to Iraqi and Kurdish forces.
Thus far, the United States has avoided military involve-
ment in Syrias three-year civil war. But faced with the
Islamic State making gains across the region and the
beheading of an American journalist, the administra-
tions resistance may be weakening.
Rhodes spoke a day after Obamas top military adviser
warned the extremists cannot be defeated without
addressing their sanctuary in Syria.
Many prominent Republicans and some Democrats
have called on Obama to hit back harder at the Islamic
State militants.
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., a prospective 2016 presi-
dential candidate, said in an interview Friday that attack-
ing their supply lines, command and control centers and
economic assets inside Syria is at the crux of the deci-
sion for Obama. The risk of getting sucked into a new
war is outweighed, he said, by the risk of inaction.
To hit back at the group, Obama has stressed military
assistance to Iraq and efforts to create a new, inclusive
government in Baghdad that can persuade Sunnis to leave
the insurgency. He also has sought to frame the Islamic
State threat in terms that convince other countries not
just in the Mideast but also in Europe of the need to
create a broad coalition against the extremists.

LUHANSK, Ukraine Tensions
between Russia and Ukraine escalated
sharply on Friday as Moscow sent
more than 130 trucks rolling across
the border in what it said was a mission
to deliver humanitarian aid. Ukraine
called it a direct invasion, and the
U.S. and NATO condemned it as well.
In another ominous turn in the cri-
sis, NATO said it has mounting evi-
dence that Russian troops are operat-
ing inside Ukraine and launching
artillery attacks from Ukrainian soil -
signicantly deeper involvement in
the ghting than the West has previ-
ously alleged.
The trucks, part of a convoy of 260
vehicles, entered Ukraine without gov-
ernment permission after being held
up at the border for a week amid fears
that the mission was a Kremlin ploy to
help the pro-Russian separatists in
eastern Ukraine.

play with him for the record. He rst
started playing instruments at the age
of 9 after taking a musical aptitude test
in elementary school.
My brother was listening to
(utist) James Galway and I thought, I
guess its OK if a guy can play the
ute, he said. I ended up being real-
ly great at it. Then my freshman year
in high school, I took guitar lessons
and I was terrible at it.
His skills developed over the years
and he took piano lessons, deciding to
play rock n roll. He interned at a
recording studio and started to play
bass in alternative rock bands such as
Dashboard Marys, Violet June and
November in 1991. He helped record
three albums while a part of bands.
When I started playing bass, I was
playing Pretenders covers and Smith
covers, he said. We had our grunge
phase in the 90s. I came into my
own.
The singer-songwriter now plays
acoustic-based pop and rock songs,
each with a hint of Americana.
Lyrically its introspective and at
the same time fun to listen to, Desira
said.
Off the seven song record, the song
Shes Moving On is about the mak-
ing decision to move to New York with
his then-girlfriend, which seemed to
be a favorite at open mic shows.
Another song, August 25th 2008, is
their breakup date. He lived in New
York from 2007 to 2009, ultimately
moving back to San Francisco.
I started writing material when I
moved back from New York, he said.
My rst producer died of cancer and I
was really devastated, so I sat on the
project for a little bit.
Because he doesnt drive a car, he
took the ferry 104 times in order to
record the EP. An avid biker, Desiras
day job is guiding tourists through
Golden Gate Park, Lands End to
Sausalito through a bicycle rental and
tour company. This job helped fund his
whole music project. Biking is what
also led to an accident in 2011 that led
to not only a broken rst metacarpal,
dislocated right wrist, concussion,
fractured index ngers, lacerated lip
and other injuries, but his song When
I Let Go about the trying experience.
I couldnt use my left hand for four
months, he said. I was unable to play
guitar for four months. I couldnt even
make a st. It was like holding an
imaginary banana. I thought about
that song for about four months and
nished writing the song in about four
days. I had all the parts already.
The piece is about recovery and giv-
ing people a sense of hope. Overall
its one of his best songs, he said.
That was really challenging, he
said. There was a fundraiser held for
me in the city. The songwriting com-
munity raised about $3,000 for me.
That was a turning point. Thats really
when I decided lets go and start record-
ing my songs.
He worked with producer Scott
Mickelson to get the work completed.
Desira advises aspiring musicians to
keep going always.
No matter what, he said. If thats
what you really want. There is no easy
way. The rewards are great in the end.
For Desira, the satisfaction really
comes from the audiences reactions.
Its denitely not easy during these
times to be a performer anywhere, he
said. The feedback from the audience
makes it all worthwhile. When people
reach out to you and say your music
and lyrics helped me through some of
the hardest types of my life, it makes
things all worthwhile.
Further, playing music is instinctive
to Desira.
Its not like a I have a choice, he
said. I have to create. Im a creative
person its just what I do.
He released the album at Amnesia on
Valencia Street in San Francisco to a
crowded show. Other songs on the
album include You Can Have It All
and Aquamarine Girl.

ALBUM
In May 2013, some students taking
the exams at Mills were seated at round
tables, a violation of testing proto-
cols. Students are required to face the
same direction.
After a student complaint prompted
an investigation by Educational
Testing Service, the tests publisher
found no misconduct but invalidated
641 scores that July. Nearly 300 stu-
dents were allowed to retake the tests
in August but by that time the high
school year was over and some pupils
were already at college. Those who did
take the exams again only had a small
window to study for the new test.
Students should not have to bear the
brunt of testing errors that occur
through no fault of their own, Hill
said in an announcement of the gover-
nors signature. This legislation clar-
ies rules for the test proctors, inves-
tigations of testing issues and retest-
ing so that students can take advantage
of the opportunities that advanced
placement tests offer.
Hills law requires a test agency to
begin an investigation immediately
upon receiving a complaint of inade-
quate or improper test conditions and
the school under investigation must
provide the requested information
within ve business days.
If test scores are invalidated, the test
agency must notify the school and
affected within two days of the deci-
sion. The students must also receive
notice at least five business days
before the opportunity to retest which
must happen within 30 calendar days
of the investigations conclusion.
The bill also requires test adminis-
trators to keep a seating chart, noting
the Mills High School investigation
was delayed and a wide range of scores
canceled because there was no docu-
mentation showing where students sat.
Without the seating charts, the testing
agency couldnt tell which of the stu-
dents were at round tables and which
were seated properly.
Hill noted in his announcement that
thousands of California high school
students use AP exams to receive col-
lege credit and test out of introductory
courses. The tests also have a nancial
component because passing an exam
and sidestepping a course can mean
saving on tuition.
The Mills High School testing inci-
dent caused an uproar among parents
and students. It also led the College
Board, the AP tests distributor, to sue
the San Mateo Union High School
District. The district lost.

jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.

this court as follows: September 23,
2014 at 9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
110 Employment
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal au-
thority may affect your rights as a cred-
itor. You may want to consult with an at-
torney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
