$130 million school bond measure on ballot
Report: Tech

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Mateo County should
expand the availability of techni-
cal classes for high school stu-
dents and aggressively pursue
ways to fund the program, accord-
ing to a civil grand jury report rec-
ommending the changes to the
Office of Education and high
school districts.
The report released yesterday
noted that even President Barack
Obama recognizes the need for
education alternatives and estimat-
ed that 30 percent to 35 percent of
county students either do not grad-
uate high school or go on to high-
er education.
A County Office of Education
spokeswoman said technical edu-
cation is a huge priority across
the state and for us but that fund-
ing and availability are not as sim-
ple as the grand jury makes it
seem.
Its a big issue and theres a lot
to look at. On one level its simple
heres what our kids need and we

Looking for a way to address
student overcrowding in both
cities it serves, the San Mateo-
Foster City Elementary School
District Board of Trustees voted 4-
1 last night to put a $130 million
bond measure on the Nov. 5 ballot
that would rebuild and expand
Bowditch Middle School to add
Foster City fifth graders and
reopen Knolls Elementary School
in San Mateo.
Trustee Ellen Mallory Ulrich
was the only trustee who voted
against the measure. She said she
supports opening Knolls, but she
doesnt think it would be a com-
plete solution to overcrowding.
Ulrich said she would really like to
see Bowditch be able to take in
San Mateo students and worries
about equity in the district
between schools in Foster City
and San Mateo.
Over the past ve years, the dis-
trict enrollment has grown from
1,703 students from 10,079 to
11, 782.
The board has been wrestling
with what to do with overcrowding
for four or five years,
Superintendent Cyndy Simms said
at the meeting. We could talk for
a while about the perfect plan, but
I think its time.
The Bowditch plan would bring
the school from 1,000 to 1,500
students. The school would grow
up and out adding a oor and
expanding on the ground level as
well. Bowditch is currently grades
6-8.
Knolls is located at 525 42nd
Ave. and has been used as a tempo-
rary overow school while others
undergo construction. This meas-
ure would make Knolls a perma-
nent school, expanded and repur-
posed to be brought up to code

Jobless rate rises
to four-year high
The nations unemployment rate
climbed to a four-year high of 5.7
percent in July 2008 as employers
cut 51,000 jobs, dashing the hopes
of an inux of young people look-
ing for summer work, it was
reported the week of
Aug. 2, 2008.
Payroll cuts werent
as deep as the 72,000
predicted by economists, however.
And, job losses for both May and
June were smaller than previously
reported.
Julys reductions marked the sev-
enth straight month where employers
eliminated jobs. The economy had
lost a total of 463,000 jobs so far
that year.
The increase in the unemployment
rate to 5.7 percent, from 5.5 percent
in June 2008, in part came as many
young people streamed into the labor
market looking for summer jobs. That
year, fewer of them were able to nd
work, the government said. The
unemployment rate for teenagers
jumped to 20.3 percent, the highest
since late 1992.
Police arrest armed robbers
Three men were arrested in San
Francisco for shooting at a car during
a robbery in front of Jiffy Lube in
downtown San Mateo the week of
Aug. 2, 2008.
Oakland resident Dwight Hall, 32,
and San Francisco residents Larry
Peevy, 42, and Salahudin Gaines, 28,
were arrested shortly after committing
an armed robbery in San Mateoon
Tuesday of that week. The three were
arrested for robbery,
assault with a deadly
weapon, conspiracy,
shooting into an unoccu-
pied vehicle and posses-
sion of marijuana for sale.
Peevy was also placed on a
Department of Corrections hold for
violating parole, according to San
Mateo police.
Tax talk terminated
The San Carlos City Council voted
down a revenue-generating option of
a half-cent sales tax, which would
require voter approval, the week of
Aug. 2, 2008.
Getting $2.5 million generated by a
half-cent sales tax not only required a
potential simple majority approval
by voters; it also needed a unanimous
OK by the council before making the
ballot. That week, the measure fell
one vote shy because Councilman
Matt Grocott said that week he did not
want to lower the threshold for pass-
ing a tax from two-thirds to a simple
majority.
"Im not in favor of doing some-
thing that would lower that thresh-
old," he said. "Whenever we raise
taxes that should have a high thresh-
old."
Grocott said he would have favored
moving forward with a special tax
which would need a two-thirds
approval and require the council to
outline exactly where the money
would go. However, he was not will-
ing to declare a scal emer-
gency.
Grocott was in the minori-
ty as the other four coun-
cilmembers saw a need to
move forward with the measure at that
time.
Bail remains in 101 murder case
The three men facing murder
charges for a fatal Highway 101
shooting in 2007 were denied a bail
reduction the week of Aug. 2, 2008.
ASan Mateo County Superior Court
judge denied motions to reduced bail
for Mohmoud Rabah, 18, his older
brother, Mohammad N. Rabah and
Doyal Malcolm Webber, both 19. The
men remained in jail on a no-bail sta-
tus, according to court records.
The younger Rabah was a passenger
in the car and made statements
encouraging the Sept. 30, 2007
shooting of Londell Wilson, said
Chief Deputy District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Fifteen people are in the running to be
San Mateo Countys rst poet laureate, a
number that surprised even those organiz-
ing the program.
I am over the moon, said Marci Dragun,
a legislative aide to Supervisor Warren
Slocum who, along with Supervisor Carole
Groom, suggested the poet position.
Dragun said a lot of other counties con-
tacted about their poet programs struggled
to nd multiple quality possibilities but,
from the time the nomination window
opened in June until Wednesday evenings
deadline, names and letters of support have
steadily streamed in. Some were nomina-
tions of others and some were self nomina-
tions but Dragun said all are strong.
Candidates were required to be age 18 or
older, able to serve two years beginning in
the fall, a county resident of at least three
years who has been published or recognized
for poetry and literary contributions and a
demonstrated commitment to making poet-
ry more accessible.
The poet laureates duties include repre-
senting San Mateo County through poetry-
related activities, presenting works during
at least four county-sponsored events year-
l y, writing a commemorative poem about
the county and opening the Board of
Supervisors meetings with a poem every
quarter.
Next Tuesday, the advisory committee
charged with choosing the poet laureate
meets to begin working out the selection
process and a decision should be made by
October, Dragun said.
The committee includes California Poet
Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera; Jackie Berger,
director of the master of arts in English pro-
gram at Notre Dame de Namur University;
Kalamu Chach, East Palo Alto poet laure-
ate; Maryann Moise Derwin, chair of the
San Mateo County Library JPA governing
board and Portola Valley councilwoman;

services for San Mateo County Library;

Fifteen vie for county poet post
By Mihr Zaveri
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND Two San Francisco Bay Area
transit unions are set to go on strike and
shut down one of the regions major train
systems if they dont reach agreement on a
new contract.
Bay Area Rapid Transits two largest
unions issued a 72-hour strike notice
Thursday evening. That means train service
that serves more than 400,000 commuters
each weekday could be shut down during
Monday mornings commute if a deal isnt
reached over the weekend.
Despite the warning, labor talks were to
continue until the contract expires at mid-
night Sunday.
The two sides resumed negotiations
around noon Thursday but did not appear
close to an agreement.
Antonette Bryant, president of the
Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1555,
one of two unions in talks with BART, said
before the strike notice was issued that
progress was made on peripheral issues, but
the meat and potatoes issues of the con-
tract, including salaries and benets, had
yet to be resolved.
BART, the nations fth-largest rail system,
carries passengers from the farthest reaches of
San Franciscos densely populated eastern
suburbs across the bay, through the city, and
to San Francisco International Airport.
The agency contractually cannot hire any
replacement workers, but BART spokesman
Jim Allison said it will secure about 95 char-
ter buses to transport Bay Area commuters if
theres a strike.

Above: Crowds at last years ArtzFest on Burlingame Avenue. Below: Kids enjoy the Frog Hopper at last years event.
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Next weekend marks the 21st annual
Burlingame ArtzFest and, because of
the Burlingame Avenue Streetscape
construction, there will be some
changes.
The festival, which runs from Aug.
10-11 this year, will temporarily relo-
cate to Howard Avenue, one street
south of the main Burlingame boule-
vard.
At the beginning we thought, what
are we going to do? said Georgette
Naylor, Burlingame Chamber of
Commerce CEO and organizer of the
event. But Howard Avenue mirrors
Burlingame Avenue and we saw it as an
opportunity to showcase the expand-
ing downtown.
Naylor said she understands the con-
struction is painful for downtown mer-
chants but added she never considered
canceling the event because of the
construction.
This years festival will include 150
artisans, including the dog collar
design company ArtyChokers. There
will be a Blues Summit on Saturday,
Aug. 10 featuring the Delta Wires, the
Kevin Russell Band, the Eugene
Huggins Band and others.
Excitement is building around the
festival, Naylor said, who has been
with the chamber for 25 years and has
led the organization for 20 years.
Were in a transition year, but Im
looking forward to the community
stage and getting more and more com-
munity involvement as each year pass-
es.
There will also be a Childrens
Playland with rides, games and enter-
tainment for kids. An Art is Healthy
pavilion venue will be added this year
as well, put on by Mills-Peninsula
Health Services.
Theres something for everyone,
Naylor said. There will be good food,
entertainment and a relaxed summer
day in downtown.
The Peninsula Art Museum, which
recently moved from Belmont to
Burlingame, will participate in the
event. Horticulture therapy will also
be one of the featured activities.
The event is free and runs from 10
a.m. to 6 p.m. each of the days of the
festival. The Chamber of Commerce
hosts the event.

Belmont-Redwood Shores
parcel tax extension on ballot
Officials from the Belmont-Redwood Shores
Elementary School District voted last night to place a
parcel tax extension on the Nov. 5 ballot.
The measure would extend the districts current voter-
approved parcel taxes of $174 a year which are due to
expire soon. If approved in a two-thirds vote, it would
expire in 10 years. An independent citizen oversight
committee would continue to oversee district expendi-
tures, according to district officials.
The vote was 4-0 with one member of the Board of
Trustees absent.
No bedbugs found at Burlingame Goodwill
There was no evidence of bedbugs at a Burlingame
Goodwill Industries warehouse, officials with the dona-
tion center reported Wednesday afternoon.
Were relieved to report that as of [Wednesday], pro-
fessionals have found no evidence of bedbugs in our
Burlingame warehouse, the Goodwill statement reads.
We will continue the inspection process tomorrow and
await a complete report from experts.
Officials on Saturday were forced to shut down the
Burlingame facility, as well as the 30,000-square-foot
San Francisco donation center at 11th and Mission streets
after bug-sniffing canines located evidence of bedbugs in
an isolated area in the San Francisco warehouse.
On Thursday, the isolated corner at the San Francisco
site will be tented and treated. Once the area is cleared,
officials believe that operations will resume at the facili-
t y, most likely by the end of the week.

A 34-year-old Brisbane woman impris-
oned for staging a home invasion robbery
during which her stepmother died was grant-
ed parole this week 12 years after being
convicted of second-degree murder.
The two-person Board of Parole Hearing
found Mianta McKnight suitable for release
after a hearing at which her father, and the
husband of victim Betty McKnight, spoke
on her behalf. The parole hearing was
McKnights third since the Nov. 1, 1999
conviction. She will be released later this
year if the governors ofce does not over-
rule the decision.
McKnight is serving 15 years to life at
the womens prison in Chowchilla. The two
men who actually committed the robbery
were both convicted by juries of rst-degree
murder and sentenced to 25 years to life in
prison.
All three were teenagers at the time of
Betty McKnights Dec. 1, 1995 death but
were tried as adults. On that night, James
Cavitt, 17, and Robert Williams, 16, broke
into the McKnight home in Brisbane.
Betty McKnight, 58, was covered with a
sheet, bound and gagged. She later suffo-
cated after being beaten and having duct
tape wrapped around her neck and placed
over her mouth.
Mianta McKnight, who was tied up before
the boys left, rst claimed to be another
victim who had freed herself and later admit-
ted setting up the robbery of her stepmoth-
er with whom she didnt get along.
An appeal by Cavitt and Williams notes
that Mianta told school friends how much
she hated Betty McKnight and sometimes
said she wanted to kill or strangle her.
Cavitt and Williams claimed Betty
McKnight was still breathing when they
left. Stolen property was found in Cavitts
home including a handgun wrapped in the
same type of tape purchased by Mianta the
day before the robbery.
Woman convicted in stepmoms death granted parole

WASHINGTON Leaving piles of unn-
ished business for the fall, Congress began
exiting Washington Thursday for a ve-week
vacation with its accomplishments few, its
efforts at budgeting in tatters and its collec-
tive nerves frayed by months of feuding.
The Houses chief accomplishment for the
week was a bipartisan Wednesday vote to deal
with spiking student loan interest rates,
readying that legislation for President Barack
Obamas signature. But that bit of progress
came the very day that a Republican strategy
of embracing painful automatic budget cuts
imploded with the collapse of a major trans-
portation and housing bill.
That measure fell victim, top lawmakers
said, to opposition from both conservative
and more moderate Republicans and laid bare
the aws in the partys budget strategy, which
promised deeper cuts to domestic programs
than the rank and le were willing to deliver
in votes on funding bills implementing the
pledge. Before leaving town, the GOP House
prepared its 40th attack on Obamas signature
health care law on Friday and slated votes on
other legislation aimed at embarrassing the
administration and sharpening the partys
political message for encounters back home
with constituents.
Also on Friday, GOPleaders looked forward
to a vote on blocking the Internal Revenue
Service from enforcing Obamacares penal-
ties on people who dont buy health insur-
ance. On Thursday, the House passed the
Stop Government Abuse Act, which among
its provisions would allow people to tape
record conversations they have with IRS
agents and other federal workers.
As the Senate raced out its own doors on
Thursday, it conrmed Obamas nomination
of Samantha Power as U.S. ambassador to the
United Nations. That capped an unusually
productive run of advancing administration
nominations but one that came only after
majority Democrats threatened to rewrite the
rules to take away the GOPs right to libuster
such nominees.
Republicans united to kill the $54 billion
measure, following the instructions of
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. ,
who kept GOPdefections to only one: moder-
ate Susan Collins of Maine, who co-wrote the
measure from her position on the
Appropriations Committee. Republicans
killed the bill because it exceeded the punish-
ing spending limits required under automatic
budget cuts that were themselves the product
of Washingtons failure to deal with its scal
problems. McConnell said moving ahead on
the bill would have been seen as backing
away from the spending cuts promised in a
decit-cutting deal enacted two years ago that
promised $2.1 trillion in decit cuts over 10
years. The automatic cuts are to total $1.2
trillion through 2021.
Collins, trying to persuade other
Republicans to break with McConnell, at
rst struggled to be heard above the Senates
din. That prompted an unusual outburst from
Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. :
Madame President, have senators sit down
and shut up, OK? he barked at presiding of-
cer Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., who broke into
a wide smile captured by C-SPAN cameras.
After the vote, Democrats rushed to news
cameras, appearing with union construction
workers in hard hats to accuse Republicans of
killing jobs.
We had a bill that would have put people to
work, xed bridges and highways, improved
public safety, said a disappointed but com-
bative Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., the chair of
Appropriations. It would have gotten
America moving. It would have gotten
America working.
Budget plans imploding, Congress is heading home
We had a bill that would have put people to work, xed
bridges and highways, improved public safety. ... It would have
gotten America moving. It would have gotten America working.

CLEVELAND Standing before the
man who kidnapped her and raped her
for a decade, Michelle Knight
described how the world had changed
in the three months since they last saw
each other. The captive, she said, was
now free and the oppressor would be
locked away forever to die a little
every day.
Ariel Castros fate had been deter-
mined long before he was sentenced
Thursday to life in prison plus 1,000
years. But Knights words in a crowded
courtroom put a nal seal on the kid-
napping case that horried the nation
and subjected three young women to
years of torment in Castros ram-
shackle house.
You took 11 years of my life away
and I have got it back, Knight said. I
spent 11 years in hell. Now your hell
is just beginning.
A short time later, the 53-year-old
former school bus driver apologized to
his victims briey in a rambling, de-
ant statement. He repeatedly blamed
his sex addiction, his former wife and
others while claiming most of the sex
was consensual and that the women
were never tortured.
These people are trying to paint me
as a monster, he said. Im not a mon-
ster. Im sick.
The sentence was a foregone conclu-
sion after Castro pleaded guilty last
week to 937 counts, including aggra-
vated murder, kidnapping, rape and
assault. Adeal struck with prosecutors
spared him from a possible death sen-
tence for beating and starving Knight
until she miscarried.
During her statement, Knight was
just a few feet from Castro, seeing him
for the rst time since her rescue in
May from the house that Castro turned
into a prison with a makeshift alarm
system and heavy wooden doors cover-
ing the windows.
I will live on, she said. You will
die a little every day.

Surveillance critics
face Obama, Biden
in the Oval Office
By Josh Lederman
WASHINGTON Struggling to salvage a massive surveil-
lance program, President Barack Obama faced congressional
critics of the National Security Agencys collection of
Americans telephone records Thursday as snowballing con-
cerns made new limitations on the intelligence effort appear
increasingly likely.
Obama and Vice President Joe Biden
joined lawmakers on both sides of the
issue for an Oval Ofce meeting designed
to stem the bleeding of public support and
show Obama was serious about engaging.
Among the participants were the NSAs
most vigorous congressional supporters
the top Democrats and Republicans in
the House and Senate intelligence panels
alongside its most stern critics, includ-
ing Democratic Sens. Ron Wyden of
Oregon and Mark Udall of Colorado.
The lawmakers departed the rainy White
House grounds without speaking to
reporters. But in interviews later, they
said there was a consensus that the sur-
veillance efforts are suffering from per-
ception problems that have undercut trust
among the American people.
There is openness to making
changes, said Rep. C.A. Dutch
Ruppersberger of Maryland, the top Democrat on the House
Intelligence Committee.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, top Republican on the
Senates intelligence panel and a strong NSA defender, said
Obama and the lawmakers didnt agree to take specic steps
but brought up a number of proposals that will be eshed out
over the August congressional recess.
A lot of ideas were thrown out, Chambliss told the
Associated Press. Nothing was concluded.
Wyden, in an interview, said he and Udall had sought to
convince Obama of the urgency of addressing rising con-
cerns. He said he proposed strengthening the governments
ability to get emergency authorization to collect an individ-
uals phone records, so that pre-emptive collection of every-
ones records would no longer be necessary.
I felt that the president was open to ideas and were
going to make sure he has some, Wyden said after returning
to Capitol Hill.

Gay couples get hitched
in Minnesota, Rhode Island
PROVIDENCE, R.I. In public celebrations and intimate
ceremonies, gay couples exchanged vows Thursday in
Minnesota and Rhode Island as the number of places where
same-sex couples can wed grew to more than a quarter of U.S.
states.
Dozens of gay couples began getting hitched at the stroke
of midnight in Minnesota, the largest Midwestern state
where it is now legal to do so. In Rhode Island, the last New
England state to allow same-sex marriage, weddings began at
8:30 a.m., when municipal ofces opened.
Zachary Marcus and Gary McDowell were married Thursday
afternoon at Providence City Hall by Mayor Angel Taveras.
McDowell, 28, a Harvard Medical School researcher, was
born in Northern Ireland. The recent Supreme Court decision
striking down a law denying federal benets to married gay
couples means he can petition for permanent residency.
Bacon fries on pavement as heat wave grips China
SHANGHAI Its been so hot in China that people are
grilling shrimp on manhole covers, eggs are hatching with-
out incubators and a highway billboard has mysteriously
caught re by itself.
The heat wave the worst in at least 140 years in some
parts has left dozens of people dead and pushed thermome-
ters above 40 degrees C (104 F) in at least 40 cities and coun-
ties, mostly in the south and east. Authorities for the rst
time have declared the heat a level 2 weather emergency
a label normally invoked for typhoons and ooding.
Study: Hotter temperatures lead to hotter tempers
WASHINGTON As the world gets warmer, people are
more likely to get hot under the collar, scientists say. Amas-
sive new study nds that aggressive acts like committing
violent crimes and waging war become more likely with each
added degree.
Researchers analyzed 60 studies on historic empire col-
lapses, recent wars, violent crime rates in the United States,
lab simulations that tested police decisions on when to shoot
and even cases where pitchers threw deliberately at batters in
baseball. They found a common thread over centuries:
Extreme weather very hot or dry means more violence.

OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
Riverside Press-Enterprise
A
court ruling last week serves as a
reminder that even rejected state
budget gimmicks can haunt tax-
payers for years. Legislators should recog-
nize that the best way to avoid trouble from
such dubious schemes is to avoid those
reckless ploys altogether. California needs
honest budgets, not spending plans built
on shortsighted expedients.
ASuperior Court judge last week gave the
green light to a lawsuit against the state
over an abandoned budget gimmick from
three years ago. Agroup that wanted to buy
11 state ofce buildings sued the state for
breach of contract in 2011, after incoming
Gov. Jerry Brown scuttled the sale. Last
weeks ruling rejected the states push to
dismiss the lawsuit, and allowed the plain-
tiffs to seek damages from the state.
The ght stems from a 2010 plan to sell
11 state-owned ofce buildings to private
buyers, then lease the space back long-
term. The $2.3 billion deal would have
included $1.2 billion up front to help the
state general fund bridge another in a series
of huge, multibillion dollar shortfalls.
Brown killed the plan after the states leg-
islative analyst said taxpayers would have
lost $646 million on the deal just in the
rst two decades.
The possibility that taxpayers might end
up paying for this scrapped scheme anyway
is simply galling. And the experience
should serve as yet one more warning about
the dangers of budget schemes that trade
immediate gain for much greater long-term
pain. Plugging budget holes now by piling
up huge future expenses is an approach
guaranteed to keep state nances in perpet-
ual jeopardy.
Stabilizing state nances requires legis-
lators to bring spending and tax receipts
into ongoing balance. Anything else only
postpones an honest scal reckoning.
And the state has no need to spend
money defending dubious budget ploys in
court. California can avoid those legal bat-
tles if legislators will only abandon
reckless scal schemes.
Electronic license plates
Editor,
In the July 30 edition of the Daily
Journal, the Other Voices item Electronic
license plates need far more vetting by
Riverside Press-Enterprise suggested the
idea of digital license plates should have
more vetting. I totally agree.
The DMV already supports online regis-
tration renewals and electronic transmis-
sion of smog test results. Police cars are
equipped with computers with which of-
cers check for stolen vehicle and registered
owner reports. I think that it would be very
easy for the DMV to share registration
information with law enforcement through
a database. While they consider that, why
not include current status of insurance as
well?
Not only would they save on the cost of
postage and paper registrations as noted in
the article; the police would have all that
information before even approaching the
car, saving time during the stop. This idea
eliminates the expense of purchasing and
maintaining digital license plates (sorry,
vendor!) and eliminates the concerns about
tracking opportunities and other privacy
issues.

Medical insurance: The
Donald Trump explains this well
Editor,
In regard to Obamacare, Donald Trump
said, Let me get this straight ... Were
going to be gifted with a health care plan
we are forced to purchase and ned if we
dont, which purportedly covers at least 10
million more people, without adding a sin-
gle new doctor, but provides for 16,000
new IRS agents, written by a committee
whose chairman says he doesnt understand
it, passed by a Congress that didnt read it
but exempted themselves from it and
signed by a dumbo president who smokes,
with funding administered by a treasury
chief who didnt pay his taxes, for which
well be taxed for four years before any
benets take effect, by a government
which has already bankrupted Social
Security and Medicare, all to be overseen
by a surgeon general who is obese and
nanced by a country thats broke! What
the hell could possibly go wrong?
Wow, you mean someone besides me

The popes hypocrisy
Editor,
Your paper on Tuesday carried a story
about how Pope Benedict says he will not
judge gay priests (Pope says he wont
judge gay priests in the July 30 edition of
the Daily Journal), that if someone is gay
and searches for the Lord, and has good
will, who am I to judge?
At the same time, your paper failed to
carry his comments about women becom-
ing priests in which he said, that door is
closed.
The hypocrisy here is blatant and clear
evidence that the Catholic church still is
not a place for women. How can he claim
to not judge gays and at the same time
clearly judge women as being unt to serve
God as men can? In the future, please carry
all the important parts of a story.

Israeli immigration
Editor,
Israel is a country of, for and by itself. If
you dont believe me, think of the demo-
cratic vice presidential nominee in 2000,
Joe Lieberman. He kissed George W. Bush
on the cheek in a dramatic fashion as he
entered Congress at the beginning of the
Iraq War. All this after George W. Bush
invaded Iraq (considered globally as an
immoral war, but considered good by
Jewish politicians for Israels sake). Then
there is Simon Wiesenthal, Holocaust sur-
vivor. He speaks out against genocide.
Whose genocide? His genocide, the Jewish
one. The proof of this is his audacious plea
to the U.S. government to pressure the
French and the Germans to send their
young men to war in Iraq. All this for the
sake of his real country, Israel. After the
fall of the Soviet Union, millions of
Russian Jews immigrated to this country,
where they were met with open arms. Mr.
Lerner from San Carlos says that Ireland
and Poland have repatriation agreements.
They do not, they have dual citizenship for
those whose parents were born there.
Believe me, the immigrant experience of
the Polish and the Irish was much less
pleasant than it was for the Jews from
Russia. For the Jews from Russia, this truly
is the promised land.

End of Malibu
S
o where will young people go on
one of their early dates now that
Malibu Grand Prix in Redwood City
is shutting down?
Apparently somewhere else, as many
have been for several years. But when I was
younger, playing miniature golf was a must
for an early date. Youve been to dinner,
youve hit a movie,
its time for some
innocuous entertain-
ment and frivolous
competition to see
if you can really hit
it off. But then, Im
getting old.
But so is Malibu
Grand Prix, which
has seemingly been
right off Highway
101 in Redwood
City forever, but
actually 35 years.
And in recent years, its age showed. It still
had the basics of fun: a batting cage, a
miniature golf course, bumper boats, turbo
golf karts and an arcade replete with my
favorite, Skee Ball. But as with any facility
that stands for a while, it needed updating.
So yes, you could go there for team build-
ing, an easy night out with the kids or to
just to blow off some steam in the batting
cages, but such facilities are facing ever-
increasing competition. There are plenty of
newer places that offer batting cages and
even go-kart racing has newer venues where
you can race friends or coworkers. Arcades?
Well, newer home gaming consoles are
mind-blowing experiences, from what Ive
been told.
Still, as with any place thats been around
for a long time, there is a certain comfort in
knowing you can always go there. But its
soon to be no more. Come Aug. 18, Malibu
Grand Prix will be shutting its doors. It will
soon join the ranks of other recreational
facilities that just ran their course, Marine
World in Redwood Shores (now Oracle head-
quarters), the Burlingame Drive-In (vacant,
but an ofce project is in the works), Bay
Meadows in San Mateo (soon-to-be hous-
ing, ofces, retail and parks) and Kings
Bowl in Millbrae (now housing).
Bowling alleys were getting shut down
left and right on the Peninsula in the last
few years but it was just July 21 that the
South San Francisco Planning Commission
approved an expansion for Brentwood Bowl
from 16 to 39 lanes. Could it be that bowl-
ing is making a comeback? After all, Lucky
Strike bowling by AT&T Park is proving to
be popular. You can knock down neatly
placed things with a big ball, wear slippery
two-tone shoes and drink beer with your
friends. Now whats not fun about that? So
while Malibu Grand Prix will soon shut
down for good, maybe a newer incarnation
of it will nd itself somewhere near. Or
maybe it will go the way of Marine World.
Time will tell, I suppose.
***
On a completely different topic, I cant
imagine that BARTmanagement and work-
ers will reach an agreement by Sundays
self-imposed deadline. The two sides are
very far apart, and every report indicates
that another strike is just bound to happen.
This cooling-off period seemed to not do a
lick of good.
But the workers dont seem to have the
public on their side. They already get decent
pay, have good benets and an unusual abil-
ity to call in sick and work another day
with overtime pay. Astrike will not tilt that
sentiment in their favor. It is in their best
interest to meet management somewhere in
the middle because any signicant increase

Big movers

NEWYORK Stocks roared back to
record highs on Thursday, driven by
good news on the economy.
The Standard & Poors 500, the Dow
Jones industrial average and the
Russell 2000 index set all-time highs.
The S&P broke through 1,700 points
for the rst time. The Nasdaq hit its
highest level since September 2000.
The gains were driven by a steady
ow of encouraging reports on the
global economy.
Overnight, a positive read on
Chinas manufacturing helped shore
up Asian markets. An hour before U.S.
trading started, the government
reported that the number of people
applying for unemployment benet s
last week fell sharply. At mid-morn-
ing, a trade group said U.S. factories
revved up production last month. And
while corporate earnings news after
the market closed Wednesday and
throughout Thursday brought both
winners and losers, investors were
able to nd enough reports that they
liked, including those from CBS,
MetLife and Yelp.
Its just a lot of things adding up,
said Russell Croft, portfolio manager
of the Croft Value Fund in Baltimore.
Its hard to put your nger on why
exactly, but basically its a bunch of
pretty good data points coming
together to make a very good day.
Overall, analysts said, the news was
good but not overwhelmingly so.
Enough to suggest that the economy
is improving, but not enough to
prompt the Federal Reserve to with-
draw its economic stimulus programs.
Earnings results covered a wide
range. Boston Beer, which makes
Samuel Adams, and home shopping
network operator HSN rose after beat-
ing analysts estimates for earnings
and revenue. Kellogg, health insurer
Cigna and cosmetics maker Avon were
down after beating earnings predic-
tions but missing on revenue.
Its becoming a familiar template
this year. Stock indexes have been
setting record highs since April even
while the underlying economy is
often described as improving, but
hardly going gangbusters.
While layoffs are steadily declin-
ing, companies arent hiring as quick-
ly as they did before the nancial cri-
sis and Great Recession. The economy
is growing, but not fast enough to
drive significant job growth. The
Commerce Department reported this
week that gross domestic product, or
GDP, the broadest measure of the econ-
omy, grew at a tepid annual rate of 1.7
percent in the second quarter.
Theyre not great numbers, but
theyre positive and theyre continu-
ing to grow, said Tim Courtney, chief
investment ofcer of Exencial Wealth
Advisors in Oklahoma City. Thats
about all the market needs to hear.
Because the stock market often
looks ahead 6-9 months, its not
unusual for stock indexes to be ahead
of economic indicators, when the
economy is improving or worsening.
Right now, stock investors may be
anticipating a stronger economy and
better earnings next year.
Among Thursdays stock index
records: The S&P 500 index rose
21.14 points, or 1.3 percent, to
1, 706. 87. The Dow rose 128.48
points, or 0.8 percent, to 15,628.02.
The Russell 2000 index of small-com-
pany stocks rose 14.62 points, or 1.4
percent, to 1,059.88.
The S&P is now up 19.7 percent for
the year, the Dow 19.3 percent and the
Russell 24.8 percent.
The Nasdaq composite index rose
49.37 points, or 1.4 percent, to
3,675.74, in line with the daily gains
of other indexes but still far short of
its record. The Nasdaq, which is heav-
ily weighted with technology stocks,
briey veered above 5,000 points in
March 2000, just before the Internet
bubble burst.
Investors said Thursday that the
S&Ps crossing over 1,700 points
might give consumers a psychologi-
cal boost, but they were hardly crow-
ing about a new era in stocks.
S&P 500 closes above 1,700 points
Theyre not great numbers, but theyre
positive and theyre continuing to grow. ...
Thats about all the market needs to hear.

SAN FRANCISCO LinkedIns online
professional networking service is still
doing a good job of pleasing investors.
Wall Street gave LinkedIn its latest
endorsement Thursday, driving the
Mountain View, Calif., companys shares
up by more than 7 percent after it released
its second-quarter results.
The performance burnished the impres-
sive resume that LinkedIn has put together
since going public two years ago. The com-
pany has delivered earnings and revenue
above the analysts projections that guide
investors in all nine of its quarters as a pub-
licly traded company.
LinkedIn supplemented that accomplish-
ment by adding 20 million more registered
users during the three months ending in
June. Thats the services biggest member-
ship gain in any quarter since LinkedIns
initial public stock offering in May 2011.
The networking service has thrived by
establishing itself as the go-to place for
employers to nd talented workers and for
people to get job tips and other advice to
manage their careers. It doesnt cost any-
thing for people to set up a personal prole
anchored by their resume. The company
makes most of its money by chargi ng
employers, headhunters and perpetual job
seekers fees to gain additional access to its
members proles and other data.
Some of those fees were raised in the sec-
ond quarter, a change that should give a lift
to LinkedIns revenue.
Subscriptions and fees accounted for
three-fourths of LinkedIns revenue in the
second quarter, with the rest coming from
advertising.
The company is also trying to boost its
advertising sales by allowing more com-
mercial messages to be displayed within its
users feeds, much like Facebook does on its
social network.
Although LinkedIn remains much smaller
and less protable than Facebook, the pro-
fessional networking company is deliver-
ing much bigger returns to shareholders
than its peer in social networking.
The strong financial and membership
growth in the past quarter is likely to cata-
pult LinkedIns high-ying stock to new
heights Friday. The shares rose $16.05, or
7.5 percent, to $229.05 in Thursdays
extended trading. That is more than ve
times LinkedIns IPO price of $45.
LinkedIns 2Q impresses Street, stock climbs

NEW YORK New troves of oil
have been found all over the globe, and
oil companies are taking in around
$100 for every barrel they produce.
But these seemingly prosperous condi-
tions arent doing much for Big Oil:
Prot and production at the worlds
largest oil companies are slumping
badly.
Exxon Mobil, Shell and BP all post-
ed disappointing earnings this week.
Chevron is expected to post a prot
decline Friday. All of them face the
same problem: The cost to get new-
found oil from remote locations and
tightly packed rock is high and rising.
And it takes years and billions of dol-
lars to get big new production projects
up and running.
The higher extraction costs could
translate to higher oil and gasoline
prices for consumers.
Strong production growth at an oil
company can offset higher operating
costs, but when production is at or
declining its a big hit, says Brian
Youngberg, an analyst at Edward
Jones. Even though oil prices are
$100 or higher, the returns on invest-
ment arent what they used to be.
The new oil being found and pro-
duced is in ultra-deep ocean waters, in
sands that must be heated to release the
hydrocarbons, or trapped in shale or
other tight rock that requires constant
drilling to keep production steady.
U.S. factory means buyers
can customize Google phone
NEWYORK With its first smart-
phone designed completely in-house,
Google is demonstrating one of the
benefits of moving production from
Asia to the U.S.: Its letting buyers
customize phones to give them their
own style.
Workers at the factory in Fort
Worth, Texas, assemble the custom
phone and Google ship it to the
buyers door within four days.
The Moto X is going on sale in
about a month at all four national
wireless carriers Verizon, AT&T,
Sprint and T-Mobile starting at
$200.
Sprouts more than doubles
in debut on Nasdaq
NEW YORK Shares of Sprouts
Farmers Market Inc. more than doubled
Thursday in their debut on the Nasdaq,
the biggest rst-day gain for an IPO in
two years.
The natural and organic food store
chain raised about $333 million in its
initial public offering of stock. About
18.5 million shares priced at $18
each, above the projected price range
of $14 to $16 per share. Of those, 17.7
million shares being sold by the com-
pany and nearly 800,000 by early
investors.
American Homes 4
Rent shares drop after IPO
NEW YORK Shares of American
Homes 4 Rent dropped Thursday after
the real estate companys IPO raised
$705.9 million.
The company sold 44.1 million
shares for $16 each. Its IPO priced at
the low end of the expected range of
$16 to $18.
Its shares trade on the New York
Stock Exchange under the ticker sym-
bol AMH. They dropped 40 cents, or
2.5 percent, to $15.60 Thursday.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Julian Edelman
went from being one of the younger New
England receivers to a seasoned veteran.
All it took was one year.
Edelman, who signed a one-year deal in the
offseason but opened training camp on the
active/physically unable to perform list, was
medically cleared to return to action and prac-
ticed with the Patriots on Thursday for the rst
time since fracturing his right foot Dec. 4,
2012 at Miami.
The fth-year receiver appeared to make it
through the two-hour session without any set-
backs. He ran sprints, caught passes and even
returning a punt in his shoulder pads and hel-
met.
The only issue, Edelman admitted, was
fatigue.
The duration of practice, he said. These
guys are in shape out here, running around
with all this fast-tempo stuff. The trains mov-
ing and Ive got to catch up.
Edelman underwent a procedure on his
injured foot in the offseason, sidelining him
longer than he would have liked. Yet he was
around the team as much as possible, attend-
ing meetings, working with trainers and put-
ting in the work necessary to return to the
eld.
Youre around the facility and you see all
your teammates out there having fun, training
camp, guys developing, the team it was
great to be out there and see faces, he said.
(Im) just focused on coming out here, get-
ting the feet down, running around on the
grass, having fun and playing football.
Edelmans return was welcomed by quarter-
back Tom Brady, especially since his top ve
targets from last season are either no longer
with the team or are injured.
Tom Bradys Tom Brady, Edelman said.
Its more of me having to work on what I
have to work on. The balls going to be
there.
It should be headed in Edelmans direction
more this season after a decent effort last year.
Edelman hauled in 21 catches for 235 yards
and three touchdowns before missing the nal
four regular-season games.
However, hes now looking at nearly an
entirely new cast alongside him.
Wes Welker, who had at least 111 catches in
ve of his six seasons in New England, signed
with Denver during the offseason, Brandon
Lloyd (74 receptions last season) is no longer
with the team, tight end Ron Gronkowski (55)
is on the PUP list after undergoing back sur-
gery in mid-June, tight end Aaron Hernandez
(51) was released following a murder charge
against him, and running back Danny
Woodhead (40) signed with San Diego.

When recent Menlo School graduate and
basketball standout Drew Edelman arrives on
the campus of University of Southern
California in a couple weeks to begin her col-
legiate basketball career, shell have quite the
answer to the question: what did you do this
summer?
All Edelman did was help lead the Team USA
Junior Girls squad to a gold medal at the
Maccabiah Games in Israel last month, win-
ning the tournament Most Valuable Player
award in the process.
It was a lot of fun, Edelman said. I had
never been out of [North America].
The Maccabiah Games are a Jewish version
of the Olympic Games. The Maccabiah Games
are held every four years in Israel and are open
to all of Jewish descent. Edelman went to a try-
out in New York in December and made the
team comprised of players ages 15 to 18 years
old.
There were a lot of people who showed up
for the tryout, Edelman said, estimating
about 45 players over a two-day period.
After receiving word she made the team,
Edelman nished up her season at Menlo,
helping guide the Knights to the Central
Coast Section Division IVchampionship and
all the way to the Northern California tourna-
ment seminals.
The last organized game in which Edelman
played was the Knights 61-54 loss to
Salesian-Richmond in the NorCal seminals
before leaving for Israel. She said there was an
optional workout with the team in New York,
but she declined to attend. The camp was in
New York because most of the girls on the
team were from the East Coast. Edelman and
only one other player were from California.
When she nally arrived in Israel, it was a
combination of work and play. The rst week
was spent getting up for a 5 a.m. practice, fol-
lowed by another practice in the afternoon.
The second week had only one practice, after
which the teams spent time sightseeing
around the country.
While Edelman admits she is not ultra reli-
gious, she did appreciate the time spent con-
necting with her Jewish heritage.

SANTA CLARA Injuries are suddenly
piling up fast for the San Francisco 49ers in
training camp.
All-Pro linebacker Patrick Willis was
wearing a black cast around the base of his
right hand and wrist and was among more
than a dozen players not participating in
practice Thursday. Barely 45 minutes into
the workout, trainers carted cornerback
Chris Culliver off the eld with an apparent
left knee injury.
Thereve been some nicks. You try to
dodge bullets.
Sometimes you dont
dodge them all, 49ers
coach Jim Harbaugh said.
Willis injured his hand
for the third time in his
career during one-on-one
blocking drills
Wednesday. He stood on
the sidelines the rest of
practice with his wrist
and hand heavily
wrapped along with fellow All-Pro middle
linebacker NaVorro Bowman, who has been
nursing a strained hip.
Harbaugh wouldnt conrm reports that
Willis hand was broken, reverting to his
typical line on injuries that the linebacker
was working through something. But he
said Willis will be back before the season
opener against Green Bay on Sept. 8.
Cullivers injury appeared more serious.
He was covering a punt and getting blocked
by rookie Marcus Cooper when he went
down in pain, holding his left knee and
burying his head in his hands.
Harbaugh and players looked on as train-
ers attended to Culliver, who also had his
right shoulder and pectoral area examined
late in Wednesdays practice. General man-
ager Trent Baalke consoled Culliver by put-
ting his arm around the cornerback before he
was carted off the eld and taken to Stanford
hospital for an MRI.

The Foster City Warriors arent the kind of
team to be intimidated.
After starting 4-0 in pool play during the
Cal Ripken Experience in Myrtle Beach,
S.C. last week and falling 8-7 to the Margate
Titans, the Warriors knew there was a chance
to see that team again.
That was our mentality, said Foster City
manager Jeff Aspillera. That was our focus.
A focused bunch of players describes the
Warriors very accurately. While Aspillera
said the team from Foster City took the Cal
Ripken 11-under Ocean Breeze tournament
as part vacation, part baseball, once the
Warriors hit the diamond it was all business.
And Foster City certainly hit the ground
running, mostly because its pitching was on
point.
I think our whole staff did well,
Aspillera said. Everyone [who] took the
mound did a good job.
The numbers prove it. During the 4-0 start
to the tournament, Foster City allowed just
eight runs good for second-best earned
run average (2.00) in the entire eld of
teams. Not to mention, any pitching staff
will look extra stellar if theyre getting a lit-
tle more than nine runs a game worth of sup-
port.
I always told the boys, if we score more
runs than they do, were always going to
come out ahead, Aspillera said. Our hitting
denitely came through, but our pitching
was the true testament of our team.
After allowing ve runs to LCB Legends in
Game 1, that same staff went three games
without allowing more than two runs.
But then came the Titans, who gave the
Warriors everything they could handle.
They matched up well against us,
Aspillera said. They got a couple of breaks
and thats just the game of baseball. They
just wound up ahead of us.
The Warriors lost, but vowed to see, and
test their skills against Margate again. But
rst, they needed to bounce back mentally.
And they did just that in a close game against
North Shore Prospects.
We started playing small ball (in that
game), Aspillera said. We mixed it up. We
had some good base running.
No one was better at that than Jeremy
Chong, whose perfectly placed bunt and sub-
sequent hustle down the line set up the even-
tual winning run in a 4-3 outcome.
That win set up what the Warriors wanted:
a rematch with the Titans.
The unfortunate thing was we spotted
them six runs in the rst inning, Aspillera
said. We had to battle back. And we set the
table late in the game with a couple of run-
ners in scoring position, but at the end, we
couldnt get that key hit. It just didnt go our
way.
Still, with the 10-8 loss to Margate,
Aspillera said he was pleased with the way
his team battled toward a 5-2 tournament
record.
A lot of people are saying we did well,
Aspillera said. So thats good to hear.
Aspillera added the Myrtle Beach experi-
ence was good as a team building and com-
munity building experience for Foster City.
In more Foster City youth baseball news,
the Riptide put together a winning effort at
Cooperstown Dream Park in New York City
this week.
We were really happy with our result,
said manager Dan Ghiorso.
The Riptide went 4-3 overall at
Cooperstown and saw their tournament
come to an end in a 17-13 slugfest loss to
the Denville Demons of New Jersey.
Before then, the Riptide had won two
straight games by a combined score of 36-2.
Overall, it was a good offensive tournament
for the Riptide, who scored double-digit runs
in all their wins.
Lastly in Foster City, the 8-under Fury A
won a championship at the Foster City
Tournament this past weekend.
The FC Fury boys played outstanding for
six straight games, going undefeated in pool
play then beating the West Coast Federals in
the quarternal and Pacica in the seminal.
The tournament concluded in epic fashion
with a walk-off win in the bottom of the
sixth against the Peninsula Rays, 6-5.
Foster City baseball teams perform well

PHILADELPHIA Alex Arias and pinch-
hitter Roger Kieschnick had RBI singles off
Jonathan Papelbon in the top of the ninth
inning, then Sergio Romo escaped a bases-
loaded jam in the bottom half as the San
Francisco Giants beat the Philadelphia
Phillies 2-1 Thursday night.
Matt Cain (7-6) gave up one run and six
hits in eight innings. The struggling ace
lowered his ERAto 4.57.
Cole Hamels allowed seven hits and
struck out ve in eight scoreless innings.
The 2008 World Series MVP hasnt pitched
like a three-time All-Star this season, but he
left with a 1-0 lead that he gave himself with
an RBI single.
Then Papelbon (2-1) blew it a familiar
scene for the 2012 All-Star closer. He start-
ed the season 13 for 13 in save opportuni-
ties, but is 7 for 13 since. He heard loud
boos throughout the inning and when he
walked to the dugout.
Hunter Pence led off the ninth with an
ineld single and advanced to third on Brett
Pills single to right. Kieschnick followed
with a tying single that sent Pill to third,
and Arias grounded his go-ahead hit to left.
Romo loaded the bases with no outs
before nishing for his 25th save in 29
tries.
Pinch-hitter Delmon Young reached on
third baseman Pablo Sandovals error to
start the bottom of the ninth. Cody Asche
then tried to sacrice, but Romo elded it
and slipped so the rookie got credit for his
major league hit. John Mayberry Jr. was hit
by a pitch while trying to sacrice to load
the bases.
After Laynce Nix ied to shallow right,
Carlos Ruiz ied to shallow left. Pinch-hit-
ter Erik Kratz grounded out to third to end it.
The defending World Series champion
Giants took two of three, but remain last in
the NL West.
The Phillies are 2-10 since the All-Star
break and have dropped to 9 1/2 games
behind Cincinnati for the second wild-card
spot in the NL.
Cain retired the rst 11 batters, striking
out ve, before Chase Utley lined a single
in the fourth.
Nix hit a broken-bat single with two outs
in the fth and Ruiz followed with a single.
Hamels then sliced an RBI single down the
left-eld line for a 1-0 lead.
The Phillies missed a chance to add runs in
the seventh and eighth. Michael Martinez
was thrown out by left elder Jeff Francoeur
trying to score from second on Mayberrys
single in the seventh.
After Jimmy Rollins tripled in the eighth,
he was thrown out trying to score on
Michael Youngs grounder to shortstop.
Last July, the Phillies gave Hamels a six-
year, $144 million extension to pass up
free agency. But theyre just 6-17 in his
starts.
Giants score two in ninth to beat Philly

NEW YORK Looming playoffs could
force an end to negotiations in baseballs
latest drug scandal as pressure builds to
impose penalties so stars can still make the
postseason.
Monday appears to be the deadline for
Alex Rodriguez and 13 others to accept sus-
pensions for their ties to the Biogenesis of
America anti-aging clinic. While A-Rod is
expected to get a lengthy ban, a penalty
starting that day would allow Texas All-Star
outelder Nelson Cruz to return for October.
Major League Baseball is prepared to
issue two simultaneous announcements no
later than Monday, a person familiar with
the process told the Associated Press on
Thursday. One would list players who accept
suspensions; the other would name those
disciplined without deals, but who could
challenge penalties before an arbitrator.
The person spoke on condition of
anonymity because no statements were
authorized.
Most players face 50-game suspensions
for their links to the now-closed Florida
clinic, which has been accused of distribut-
ing banned performance-enhancing drugs.
But baseball is threatening to kick
Rodriguez out for life unless the three-time
AL MVP agrees to a long ban, perhaps
around 200 games.
Rodriguez appeared ready to talk Thursday
as he was leaving the teams minor league
complex in Tampa, Fla., waving a group of
writers to his car in the parking lot and

BARCELONA, Spain Ryan Lochte feels
like himself again. Looks more like himself,
too, with that gold medal around his neck.
Missy Franklin and Katie Ledecky have
felt this way all along. Theyre piling up so
much gold they might
need bigger suitcases to
get home.
Lochte bounced back
from a disappointing start
to the world swimming
championships, showing
he still knows how to
touch the wall rst with
his victory in the 200-
meter individual medley
Thursday night.
Thats worthy of a Jeah!
The first two days I wasnt myself,
Lochte said. I was too worried about the out-
come of each race, about nishing rst, about
my times, and thats not me. I am a swimmer
who is really relaxed and goes out there to
have fun.
No one is having more fun than a pair of
American teenagers.
Franklin, the 18-year-old who recently
graduated from high school, is 4 for 4 at the
championships after anchoring the U.S. to
victory in the 4x200 freestyle relay, match-
ing her gold-medal haul at the London
Olympics.
Ledecky, only 16 and getting ready for her
junior year of high school, is 3 for 3 after
swimming the leadoff leg of the relay. It was
her rst chance to be part of a U.S. relay team
at a major international meet.
Being part of a team is the most important
part about swimming for me, Franklin said.
You want to go out there and race harder than
youve ever raced before.
Chances are, there will be more trips to the
podium for the stalwarts of the American
team.
Lochte has four events remaining and
Franklin three. Ledecky will be a big favorite
in the 800 free, the event that produced her
breakout gold medal at the London Olympics
last summer.
I am not going to think about the out-
comes or about winning, said Lochte, who
got through a demanding double by posting
the second-fastest time in the seminals of
the 200 backstroke behind another
American, Olympic gold medalist Tyler
Clary. I just need to have fun.
The U.S. settled for silver and bronze in the
mens 100 free swimmings glamour
event. Australias James Magnussen rallied
on the return lap to edge Jimmy Feigen and
reigning Olympic champion Nathan Adrian.
Lochte barely celebrated after his race, let-
ting out a deep breath as he squinted to see his
winning time 1 minute, 54.98 seconds.
Japans Kosuke Hagino claimed the silver,
more than a second behind, and Brazils
Thiago Pereira took bronze.
Lochte, who took a long break after
London and cut back his training to work on
a reality TVshow, hardly looked in peak form
while swimming the second leg on the
4x100 free relay team that nished second
behind France. That was followed by an even
bigger disappointment fourth place in the
200 freestyle.
Now, after something of an epiphany, he
nally has reason to scream his nonsensical
catchphrase. Lochte trailed Pereira at the mid-
way point, but he turned it on during the
breaststroke leg and pulled away on the
freestyle nish, gliding across the water to
win by about a body length, 1.31 ahead of
Hagino.
It was the 13th world championship gold
of Lochtes career, his 21st medal overall,
and his third straight title in the 200 IM a
race he lost to Michael Phelps at the last
Olympics.
My goggles were fogged up so I couldnt
see the rest of the eld, Lochte said. I had
no idea if I was winning or in last place. I was
just focused on making my turns well, and
toward the end I was just praying that I would
touch the wall rst.
In the relay, Ledecky put the Americans
ahead at the start, and Franklin zipped away
with a dominant anchor leg to win in
7:45.14.
Katie led it off like a champ, said
Shannon Vreeland, the second of the U.S.
swimmers. With Missy as an anchor, you
just have a lot of condence in the rest of the
relay.
The U.S. was slightly behind Australia
when Karlee Bispo passed off to Franklin. No
problem. She zipped by Alicia Coutts on the
nal 200 with a leg that was a staggering
1.75 faster than any of the other 31 swim-
mers in the race.
Australia settled for silver in 7:47.08,
while France took the bronze in 7:48.43.
I dont even care about my split,
Franklin said. I knew I had to bring it home
with everything I had, and I was just thinking
about these girls the whole time.
Another big night for U.S. at
world swim championships

CHICAGO Dave Pallone, who was part
of Chicago history when he umpired the
rst night game at Wrigley Field, is return-
ing to Chicago to take part in another chap-
ter of American sports history: His inclu-
sion in the inaugural class of what organiz-
ers say is the rst-of-its-kind National Gay
& Lesbian Sports Hall of Fame.
On Friday night, Pallone will be honored
in the rst class of inductees that includes
tennis greats Martina Navratilova and Billie
Jean King, Olympic diving champion Greg
Louganis, and Jason Collins, who in April
became the rst active male professional
athlete in a major team sport to publicly
reveal he was gay.
It is a tremendous honor and ... I hope it
gives young people and adults alike who
happen to be LGBT and want to be in pro-
fessional sports another example of why
they should continue to strive for their
dreams, Pallone said.
Rick Garcia, a prominent Illinois gay
rights activist agreed, saying he hopes the
hall of fame encourages gay and lesbian
youth to have a career in sports and excel
in that career and still be honest about who
they are.
The events will include a dinner Friday
night to honor the inductees at a ceremony
at the Center on Halsted and an event on
Saturday at Wrigley Field called Out at
Wrigley, which organizers says is the
largest Gay Day at a major league sporting
event.
Executive Director Bill Gubrud said the
decision to establish what he says is the
countrys rst hall of fame honoring gay
athletes and their supporters is not tied to
Collins announcement earlier this year. He
said factors such as changing attitudes about
homosexuals, particularly among young
people, made him and others think this was
the ideal time to create an institution that
honors the contributions that gays have
made in sports as well as the hardships
many endured because of their sexual orien-
tation.
Among those being inducted is the late
Glenn Burke. An outelder with the Oakland
Athletics and the Los Angeles Dodgers in
the 1970s, Burke is widely believed to have
delivered the rst high-ve. Though he did
not publicly come out until two years after
he left baseball, Burke maintained until he
died of complications due to AIDS in 1995
that he was run out of the game by preju-
diced and homophobic managers and front
ofces that knew he was gay.
This will help preserve history, said
Gubrud. You are not going to know where
to go if you dont know where youve been
and many in the gay community dont know
Glenn Burke.
Gubrud also said that a number of the
inductees who are not gay are being recog-
nized for having helped create safe envi-
ronment for LGBTs to compete in sports at
every level. Among those is Ben Cohen,
an English rugby player. He founded a
foundation to stop bullying against
LGBTs, Gubrud said.
Gubrud said Chicago was chosen to be hall
of fames home for a number of reasons,
starting with the citys place as a major gay
tourist destination. Also, he said, Chicago
is one of the most gay-friendly cities in the
United States.
He also said the Cubs hold a special place
in the gay community, explaining that it
was the Cubs more than a decade ago that
became the rst professional sports team to
place an ad in a gay newspaper.

Fellow cornerback Perrish Cox, who was
elding the punt, said he saw Culliver on the
ground as soon as he caught the ball.
I walked over to see if he was OK, Cox
said. I told him, Keep your head up. And I
went back to catching returns. We wish him
the best.
The injury is the latest in a series of set-
backs for the 49ers this offseason.
Top wide receiver Michael Crabtree is
rehabbing his surgically repaired right
Achilles tendon and is expected to miss at
least half the season and likely more.
Mario Manningham is coming off an ACL
tear in his knee and is expected to be back
at some point this season, Harbaugh has
said.
Fellow wideouts Kyle Williams, A. J.
Jenkins and Kassim Osgood each came off
the eld Tuesday with apparent leg issues
and have sat out the past two days. And
Quinton Patton cant catch passes due to a
soft cast on his injured middle nger on his
left hand. He has been running routes in a
blue jersey.
Outside linebacker Aldon Smith and center
Jonathan Goodwin also sat out practice due
to unspecied injuries but did light stretch-
ing and agility exercises on an adjacent eld
with a handful of players. In addition, run-
ning backs Kendall Hunter (Achilles) and
Marcus Lattimore (knee), defensive linemen
Tank Carradine (knee) and Quinton Dial
(toe), and tackle Luke Marquardt (foot) are
on the active physically unable to perform
or non-football injury lists.
Now Willis and Culliver are sidelined,
t oo.
Willis has made the Pro Bowl in each of
his first six seasons and has been an
Associated Press first-team All-Pro five
times. He had 88 tackles, two forced fumbles
and two interceptions to anchor San
Franciscos stout defense last season.
Willis played with a cast during his rook-
ie season and late in the 2010 season. He
also wore a cast on his hand during his sec-
ond to last season at Mississippi.
Culliver had 47 tackles, two interceptions
and one forced fumble last season while
playing primarily as the teams third corner-
back. He was drafted in the third round out of
South Carolina in 2011.
What it means right now is there are
some guys getting an opportunity to show
what they can do, which is a positive there.
And theres people who have been doing
that, Harbaugh said.
New cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha
already had been taking plays away from
Culliver in practice. Tramaine Brock and
Cox will be expected to carry more of a load
as well if Culliver is out for an extended
period.
Michael Wilhoite, Nate Stupar and Nick
Moody have taken the bulk of the backup
linebacker snaps. Moody, a six-round draft
pick out of Florida State who is making the
transition from safety, lled in for Willis for
most of Thursdays practice. He also has
been on kickoff and punt coverage and both
return teams.
While Moody was excited for more play-
ing time in training camp, the fact its com-
ing because of injuries makes it bittersweet.
It happens all around the league, Moody
said. Every time you turn on the TV some-
body else is getting hurt. Its the nature of
the game. You just hope everybody gets
back as soon as they can.

At the age of 27, Edelman now is one of the
elder statesmen in the passing attack, and with
ve rookies among the 12 receivers in camp,
his role is certain to change.
If they ever have a question, they always
ask, he said of the younger players. I try to
help them out as much as possible.
New England coach Bill Belichick knows
his receiver has a long way to go before mak-
ing an impact on the eld.
He wasnt able to do much and he hasnt
done anything in camp other than work indi-
vidually with the trainers and stuff. He watch-
es and goes to meetings, but he cant partici-
pate in anything. I certainly dont think it
puts him ahead, Belichick said. Weve got
other guys that are out there working, play-
ing, practicing.
Hes got some ground to make up. Well see
how it goes.
Edelman declined to speculate on the possi-
bility of playing a bigger role in the offense
in the wake of so many departures. He is sim-
ply concentrating on making the team.
Im not really thinking about that right
now, he said. Im just trying to work on my
fundamentals, develop my game individually
so I can help contribute to this team.
Obviously its new right now, so I denite-
ly have to get my legs under me, work my way
in and try to earn a spot.
PATRIOTS
It was denitely very important going to
see all of these things, Edelman said. It is
part of my heritage.
When it nally came to game time, it was
evident early on that there would not be a lot
of challenges standing between Team USAand
the gold medal. In fact, the competition in
practice was often tougher than what the team
faced in games.
Thats a fair statement, Edelman said.
Still, she admitted to be a bit nervous before
taking the court to face Australia in the rst
round of pool play.
We had no idea what to expect from
[Australia], Edelman said. We had no clue
how they would be. It was our rst game I had-
nt played since [the school season ended].
Once we started playing, the nerves settled a
little bit.
Edelman went on to score 18 points in the
Americans 76-19 win over Australia, which
was just a precursor of things to come.
She followed that with a 15-point effort in a
79-36 win over Canada and then Edelman real-
ly went off. She scored 27 in an 81-46 win
over Israel and then scored 30 in the champi-
onship game, a 77-26 win over Canada.
I hadnt played basketball in a long time. It
was denitely helpful to play in some games,
Edelman said. Ive been playing pickup, but
thats not enough. I did get a lot of running in,
getting used to the whole waking up early
thing.
I know at USC it will be times a hundred.
Another Menlo School graduate, Wi l l
Tashman (2009), helped lead the U.S. Mens
Open Team to the gold medal as well.
Tashman averaged 11.4 points in ve
games, helping Team USA to an 87-76 win
over Argentina in the gold-medal game,
avenging an 86-83 loss to the Argentines in
pool play.
He scored 14 points in the rst game against
Argentina and after an eight-point effort
against Australia, rebounded to score 10
against Russia, 13 against Guinea Bissau and
had 12 points in the championship game.
After graduating from Menlo, Tashman took
his talents to Massachusetts Institute of
Technology. In his four years with the
Engineers, he helped guide the team to a com-
bined record of 91-17. They advanced to the
NCAADivision III tournament seminals his
junior season. This past year, he led the
Engineers in scoring and rebounding and was
named a Division III All-American.
EDELMAN
him for violations of its labor contract and
drug agreement, which would cause him to
start serving his penalty before the case
would go to arbitration.
Sidelined following hip surgery in
January and then a strained quadriceps, the
38-year-old third baseman hopes to return
to the Yankees in a few days. He is to play
Friday and Saturday at Double-A Trenton,
putting himself in position to rejoin New
York for Mondays series opener at the
Chicago White Sox if hes not banned.
Barring a rainout this weekend, Cruzs
Rangers would have exactly 50 games
remaining before they play at the Los
Angeles Angels on Monday night. If he les
a grievance, as a rst offender, the penalty
would be delayed until after a decision by
arbitrator Fredric Horowitz. But the lengthy
legal process likely would risk his eligibil-
ity for the playoffs and the start of next sea-
son.
Cruz said Thursday he hadnt made any
decision about a possible appeal. Asked
whether he was told specically what penal-
ty could be forthcoming, Cruz responded,
No, I cannot tell you. Sorry.
Detroit shortstop Jhonny Peralta is the
other targeted All-Star on a pennant con-
tender, and the Tigers would have 53 games
left before playing at Cleveland on Monday.
Another All-Star shortstop, San Diegos
Everth Cabrera, could serve all of a 50-game
suspension this year if he begins with the
Padres game against Baltimore on Tuesday.
Others facing discipline include injured
Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli and
Seattle catcher Jesus Montero, who is in the
minor leagues with Triple-ATacoma.
The Miami Herald reported Thursday that
the U.S. Attorneys Ofce in Miami had
opened a criminal investigation into
whether Biogenesis founder Anthony Bosch
illegally sold controlled substances to high
school students. That probe has the poten-
tial to complicate baseballs disciplinary
cases if Boschs lawyers advise him not to
participate in MLB grievance hearings,
where the commissioners ofce presum-
ably would call him to testify and authenti-
cate documents.

Park, seeking fourth
straight major, opens with 69
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland Wearing a
black rain suit and a soft smile, Inbee Park
looked calm as ever standing before the
imposing Royal & Ancient clubhouse just
moments before she teed off Thursday in the
Womens British Open.
Only after her unsteady round of 3-under
69 did Park reveal perhaps the biggest sur-
prise at St. Andrews.
She was nervous.
But then once the round started, and espe-
cially playing so good in the rst few holes,
that really gave me a lot of condence,
Park said. I didnt feel much pressure when
I was playing during the round. Im just glad
that its already started and I got the rst
round under my belt.
Park wound up three shots behind Morgan
Pressel and Camilla Lennarth of Sweden, a
solid start to what should be a fascinating
week at the home of golf.
Her pursuit of history looked more like a
high-speed chase when the 25-year-old
South Korean made six birdies in 10 holes.
Three poor tee shots, two three-putt bogeys
and one double bogey from a pot bunker on
the back nine made her realize theres a rea-
son no golfer has ever won four majors in a
single year.
Felt like a roller coaster today, Park
said.
She was only too happy it nally stopped
with a 6-foot birdie on the 18th hole, end-
ing a slide during which she dropped four
shots in a ve-hole span.

AUTO
By Ann M. Job
With three rows of seats, a comfortably
functional interior and pleasant looks,
Toyotas 2013 Highlander is a right-sized,
no-fuss vehicle for families.
Theres even a removable center section
in the Highlanders second-row seats that
simplies the effort to get to the third row
bench seat even when two child safety seats
occupy the second row.
The Highlander also has a strong record
for reliability and is a recommended buy of
Consumer Reports, where predicted reliabil-
ity for the 2013 model is much better than
average.
The smooth-riding, 2013 Highlander
Hybrid is rated at a combined 28 miles per
gallon in city and highway driving and
ranks third best among gasoline-electric
hybrid SUVs.
Still, the Highlander, which is positioned
between the smaller Toyota RAV4 and larg-
er 4Runner, does not come with a bargain
price.
Starting manufacturers suggested retail
price, including destination charge, is
$29,865 for a base, front-wheel drive, 2013
Highlander with 187-horsepower, four-
Toyota Highlander is comfortable family vehicle
All 2013 Highlanders come with automatic transmission, and all V-6-powered Highlanders come standard with four-wheel drive. See TOYOTA, Page 17

DETROIT Pickup trucks may have led
the charge, but strong sales of small cars in
July showed demand for new vehicles is
broad and not slowing down.
Car sales grew in the rst six months of
this year, but not at the blistering pace of
trucks and SUVs. Through June, full-size
pickups were up 22.5 percent over the year
before, while cars were up just 5 percent.
Last month, car sales took off. General
Motors car sales jumped 24 percent. Sales
of the Honda Civic small car were up 30 per-
cent to 32,416, their best July in 13 years.
Sales of the recently redesigned Ford Fiesta
subcompact jumped 89 percent, while the
Toyota Prius hybrid was up 40 percent.
Part of the small car surge was seasonal.
Small cars always sell better in the summer
and then taper off as winter approaches. But
its also an indication of the high level of
demand from regular consumers, not just the
contractors and other small businesses that
helped fuel the truck boom.
Christian Mayes, an auto analyst with
Edward Jones in St. Louis, said truck sales
will pick up even more in the fall. But he
also expects car sales to remain strong
through the rest of this year because short-
term interest rates should stay low, keeping
payments down. Also, automakers are
introducing new cars at a brisk pace, and car
buyers are nally replacing the old vehicles
they kept through the Great Recession.
A lot of customers with their cars being
10 years old or older are looking to trade in
Auto sales rise as small cars enjoy summer surge

cylinder engine. The lowest starting retail
price for a 2013 Highlander with 270-horse-
power V-6 is $32,750. All 2013
Highlanders come with automatic transmis-
sion, and all V-6-powered Highlanders come
standard with four-wheel drive.
The Highlander has plenty of competitors
in the mid-size, crossover SUV segment.
Crossover SUVs are vehicles that have
SUVstyling on the outside, seat passengers
higher above the pavement than they would
be in a car and use an underlying structure
based on cars to provide a car-like, rather
than truckish, ride.
The 2013 Kia Sorento, which offers four-
and six-cylinder engines, has a starting
MSRP, including destination charge, of
$26,150 for a base, front-wheel drive model
with 191-horsepower four cylinder, auto-
matic transmission and third-row seating.
This is $3,715 less than the base 2013
Highlander. The lowest-priced, 2013
Sorento with all-wheel drive and third-row
seats starts at $27,950, and includes the
four-cylinder engine.
Another competing family crossover
SUV is the 2013 Chevrolet Traverse, which
has a starting MSRP, including destination
charge, of $31,670. The base Traverse has
front-wheel drive, 281-horsepower V-6 and
automatic transmission. The Traverse only
comes with the V-6.
Now marking 12 years in North America,
the Highlander continues with impressive
U.S. sales of more than 100,000 annually.
Indeed, during calendar 2013, the
Highlander is on pace to surpass last years
U.S. sales of 121,055.
Highlanders appeal to families is not just
its practicality, such as a cargo area that can
grow from 10.3 cubic feet behind the third
row to 95.4 cubic feet with second- and
third-row seats folded down.
The Highlander is a no-fuss vehicle thats
not too big and not too small thats easy for
busy families to live with.
There was nothing distracting or odd
about the placement, visibility and usabili-
ty of the gauges and controls inside the test
Highlander, which was a base V-6 model.
Most drivers will nd they can get in, adjust
the drivers seat, steering wheel and mir-
rors, and just drive. In fact, the non-gim-
micky interior was a nice, easy change of
pace when it was time to change temperature
and radio stations in a straightforward and
simple manner.
This is not to say the Highlander is low
tech.
For 2013, every Highlander has display
audio, which provides Bluetooth phone
connectivity and music streaming as well as
a USB port. An optional tech package can
add navigation system and Toyotas Entune
multimedia system for use with popular
mobile applications and data services.
Some features can be controlled via voice
commands.
Though nothing seemed complicated or
distracting in the Highlander, a standard
rearview camera is sorely needed to help
drivers when backing up.
The removable Center Stow seat in the
middle of the second row was put up and
taken down without consulting the owners
manual.
But the two-person third row seat sits low
to the oor and can feel a bit cramped.
The 270-horsepower V-6 provided strong
power for acceleration and got the
Highlander up to above-speed-limit city
travel quickly, even when the vehicle was
carrying four adults and luggage. Power
seemed plentiful and the 3.5-liter, double
overhead cam V-6 sounded strong and con-
dent. Torque peaked at a healthy 248 foot-
pounds at 4,700 rpm.
Several competitors offer a bit more V-6
horsepower and torque. Still, the slightly
smaller size and lighter weight of the V-6-
powered Highlander meant the engine
power was more than adequate.
As an example, the 2013 Traverse stretch-
es 17 feet from bumper to bumper, while the
Highlanders overall length is 15.7 feet.
The Highlander with V-6 also is some 660
pounds lighter than the Traverse.
The Highlander with V-6 has a maximum
towing capacity of 5,000 pounds.
Fuel economy in the non-hybrid
Highlanders is lower than that of the hybrid
model, of course, and not particularly note-
worthy.
TOYOTA
and get something a little bit newer, he said.
GM, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota and Nissan all reported dou-
ble-digit sales gains last month. Honda led the way with a
21 percent sales increase. Of major automakers, only
Volkswagen had a down month. Its sales were off 3.3 per-
cent as the top-selling Jetta compact faltered.
Industry sales rose 14 percent over last July to 1.3 mil-
lion, according to Autodata Corp. On an annualized basis,
the sales pace slowed slightly from June to 15.7 million.
But that was still better than the annualized rate of 14 mil-
lion from a year ago.
The industrys numbers for July come a day after the U.S.
government reported stronger than expected growth for the
April-June quarter. The consulting rm LMC Automotive
said the improving economy could push this years sales to
around 16 million.
Sales last topped 16 million in 2007, just ahead of the
recession. They bottomed out at a 30-year low of 10.4 mil-
lion in 2009, and have been recovering ever since.
Appealing new products should keep drawing buyers to
dealer showrooms. GMs new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC
Sierra pickups just went on sale, while Toyota said Thursday
that production of its new Corolla small car has begun in
Mississippi.
Incentives such as rebates and low-interest loans are also
helping sales. Car pricing site Edmunds.com said incen-
tives were up 10 percent in July over the same month last
year, to an average of $2,463 per vehicle.
Toyota had the biggest increase, with spending up 20 per-
cent to an average of $1, 945, Edmunds said. Edmunds sen-
ior analyst Jessica Caldwell said Camry incentives are at
their highest level in two years as the sedan competes with
newer rivals like the Nissan Altima.
Overall, though, the discounts havent reduced prices.
The average sale price of a vehicle last month held steady at
just over $31,000, according to the car buying site
TrueCar.com. Thats because buyers are loading up on
options like leather seats and navigation systems.
For example, 32 percent of GMC Acadia buyers get the
top-tier Denali trim level, which starts $11,900 above the
base model and includes a rear seat entertainment system
and a leather-wrapped mahogany steering wheel. The most
popular color for the Buick Enclave is white diamond tri-
coat, a premium paint that costs $995 more.
To get lower monthly payments when the price is higher,
buyers are stretching out their loans and leasing more vehi-
cles, according to LMC.

LOS ANGELES Time ies when
youre not wondering about the wel-

animated blue-skinned forest-
dwellers. Turns out theyve been just

but theres trouble brewing in their
new adventure-comedy that will
require their curious blend of wide-
eyed optimism and goofy enthusiasm
to peacefully resolve.
A sequel largely unwarranted other

The Smurfs 2 should have little trou-
ble scaling stratospheric heights simi-

The occasion of Smurfettes (Katy

hapless, wannabe evil sorcerer
Gargamel (Hank Azaria), who now
intends to kidnap her from her
enchanted-forest home to obtain the
formula for the magical Smurf essence
that Papa Smurf (Jonathan Winters)
used to originally bestow her with
blue-skinned bliss. Once he has the
secret, Gargamel plans to power up a

THE SAN MATEO COUNTY BAR
ASSOCIATION RECEIVES 2013
DIVERSITY AWARD FROM THE
STATE BAR OF CALIFORNIA. The San
Mateo County Bar Association (SMCBA)
has been selected to receive the 2013
Diversity Award for Bar Associations, issued
by the State Bar of California. The award
will be presented during the State Bar Annual
Meeting Diversity Awards Reception in San
Jose on Saturday Oct. 12 at 5:30 p.m. at the
Marriott Hotel. The Award was established in
2001 by the State Bar Board of Governors to
recognize outstanding efforts to promote
diversity in the legal profession and, in par-
ticular, to recognize efforts that ensure the
full and equal opportunity of all persons for
entry and advancement in Californias legal
profession.
The bestowal of the Diversity Award on
the San Mateo County Bar Association fol-
lows ve years of focused efforts by the
local law community. In the fall of 2008,
SMCBA took a dramatic step to change the
face of its membership by creating a
Diversity Task Force, giving organizational
substance to a proposal that had been set
forth by two local attorneys, Kristina
Chung and Enrique Martinez. The Diversity
Task Force began a Speaker Series, inviting
noted members of the bar and bench to
address diversity related topics. In its inau-
gural year of 2009, under the leadership of
SMCBAs rst Hispanic president, Nancy
Ligon de Ita, the Diversity Task Force host-
ed California Supreme Court Associate
Justice Carlos Moreno and State Bar
President Holly Fujie. In 2010 the SMBCA
elevated the status of the diversity task force
to a standing board committee, and in the
years that followed, the committee hosted
California Supreme Court Associate Justice
Kathryn Werdegar, civil rights attorney Dale
Minami, California Supreme Court Chief
Justice Tani Gorre Cantil-Sakauye,
California Supreme Court Associate Justice
Goodwin Liu and civil rights attorney Eva
Patterson. It organized a reception honoring
the 50th Anniversary of Distinguished
Service by African-American Justices in
California. And it established an annual
award recognizing a rm or individual who
has demonstrated a meaningful and consis-
tent commitment to increasing and main-
taining diversity in San Mateo County at all
levels of the legal profession. The rst
award was presented in 2011 to attorney
Joseph Cotchett, followed in 2012 by
recognition of the rm of Ropers, Majeski,
Kohn and Bentley. The Diversity Committee
also provides an opportunity for minority
attorneys in San Mateo County to network
and nd ways to contribute to their commu-
nity. After its rst year in existence, the
SMCBA credited the Diversity Committee
with helping to increase its membership by
104 new members, with 35 percent of those
members belonging to minority groups. As
of 2013, overall minority membership has
increased by approximately 20 percent.
Committee Member Nancy de Ita said:
The San Mateo County Bar Association was
started in 1916. In 2009, I was only the
10th female president. Given the diverse
population that our legal community serves,
our task force was formed to encourage an
increase in the number or attorneys and
judges in our county from diverse back-
grounds. We contacted the specialty bars to
attend my installation and to co-sponsor
events with us. Our annual diversity event
speakers were so positively received, that
our peninsula law rms were delighted to be
sponsors. SMCBA was so proud of these
events that our task force grew into a stand-
ing committee. Two of our recent San Mateo
judges, appointed, were members of our
diversity committee. Our diversity commit-
tee lawyers have gone to our local junior and
senior high schools to encourage students
of all backgrounds to consider law school.
We have a long way to go, but we are going
in the right direction.
Diversity Committee members include
James Kevin Allen, Esq., Chairman;
Deborah Kemper, Vice Chair and SMCBA
Assoc. Exec. Dir.; Jamay Lee, Esq.; Amarra
Lee, Esq.; Brock Lyle, Esq.; Chinhayi Cadet,

NEWYORK On and off screen, its been
a bruising summer for Hollywood.
Every weekend, the multiplex has been
under siege like it has rarely been before.
One after another, they have come: Big-
budget, globe-trotting blockbusters
backed, like goliaths with air support, by
marketing budgets in the hundreds of mil-
lions.
As the studios have focused increasingly
on the fortunes of monster-sized tent-
poles, as theyre known in the trade, week-
end real-estate in the summer months has
become precious, fraught territory. In the
seasons packed schedule, theres little
breathing room for the blockbusters: They
need to open big, right away.
Some of these lms have succeeded. Some
have opped. But more than most summers,
the content of this years seasonal crop of
spectacles has felt like a pummeling, leav-
ing both moviegoers and some in the indus-
try dazed from the onslaught.
Zombies swarmed over much of the planet
in World War Z. Sea monsters rose from
the ocean and battled giant robots in
Pacic Rim. Supermans Metropolis was
haphazardly laid to rubble in Man of
Steel. For the third time, Roland Emmerich
destroyed 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in
White House Down. A fiery Rapture
engulfed This Is the End.
Studio balance sheets have been hardly
less volatile.
The latest bomb came over the weekend
with R.I.P.D., in which Jeff Bridges and
Ryan Reynolds star as ghost cops. The
poorly reviewed Universal lm opened with
just $12.7 million, suggesting it wont
come close to recouping its $130 million-

Smurfette through a magic portal and into
the real world where he can more effective-
ly manipulate her inherent identity issues.
Papa Smurf and his mismatched extraction
team consisting of Grouchy (George
Lopez), Clumsy (Anton Yelchin) and Vanity
(John Oliver) will have to portal to the
live-action world to reunite in Paris with
the sympathetic young family of Patrick
(Neil Patrick Harris) and Grace (Jayma
Mays) Winslow, their live-action counter-
parts from the original movie, if theyre to
have any chance of rescuing Smurfette.
Returning the movie to the European
locale of the Belgian Smurfs comic-strip
originator Pierre Culliford adds some visual
interest, with Paris as the backdrop for the
Smurfs rescue mission, but beyond the
classic cityscapes, theres little innovative
in this formulaic follow-up.
The Smurfs director Raja Gosnell
(Beverly Hills Chihuahua, Scooby
Doo) has built his career with cute-critter
pics and other family fare, and his middle-
brow track record remains unblemished
with the Smurfs big-screen return. With a
primarily impressionable young target
audience, the returning screenwriting team
of J. David Stem, David N. Weiss, Jay
Scherick and David Ronn, along with Karey
Kirkpatrick (Charlottes Web, Chicken
Run), has no problem frequently repeating
lines, gags and life lessons to near-numb-
ing effect. Beyond a few chuckle-worthy
one-liners and some amusing visual come-
dy, theres not much to engage adults,
although the wee ones should be distracted
enough.
In his nal lm role, Jonathan Winters
reprises the benecent Papa Smurf with the
requisite twinkle in his voice, but takes a
backseat to Perrys bewildered, wounded
and ultimately outraged Smurfette. Harris
and Mays, as the parents of a young boy
appropriately named Blue (Jacob
Tremblay), acquit themselves good-
naturedly enough, although its Brendan
Gleeson as Patricks well-intentioned but
misunderstood stepfather, Victor Doyle,
who really shines in an all-out turn that
gleefully showcases his considerable
comic gifts. Azaria is equally antic as the
incompetent wizard beset by the uneven, if
unrelenting, team of Smurf rescuers featur-
ing Lopez, Yelchin and Oliver.
With the exception of Gargamels awk-
wardly rendered CGI cat cohort Azrael, the
mix of animation and live-action appears
fairly seamless in a 3D rendition that helps
keep the movie from slipping into the
overly saccharine variation favored by the
fully animated 1980s TV series.
SMURF
plus price tag. The failure was all the more
pronounced because of the robust opening
($41.5 million) for Warner Bros. The
Conjuring, an old-fashioned horror lm
made for under $20 million.
Its become a recurring theme of summer
2013: Non-sequel, big-budget lms have
struggled to nd audiences. Most striking
was Gore Verbinskis The Lone Ranger,
which Disney had hoped would ignite the
same interest as the Pirates of the
Caribbean series that also teamed
Verbinski with Johnny Depp.
But although The Lone Ranger was an
admirable attempt to update the Western, the
lms imbalanced tone fell extremely at
with moviegoers. Made for some $215 mil-
lion, it has earned $81.3 million domesti-
cally in three weeks.
Also underperforming, to the tune of tens
of millions of dollars, has been:
White House Down ($68.5 million
domestically in four weeks, despite its silly
popcorn fun and Channing Tatums rising
star).
After Earth ($60 million domestically
in eight weeks, despite Will Smiths steady
history as a box-ofce draw).
Guillermo del Toros Pacific Rim
($68.2 million domestic, despite its well-
crafted pop sensibility). Launched with
franchise aspirations, Pacic Rim may
end up in a better situation, since it has
quickly made $110.3 million overseas.
So what IS working? Many of
Hollywoods classic genre standbys:
Low-budget horror (The Conjuring,
The Purge).
Animated family films (Monsters
University, Despicable Me 2).
Some A-list star vehicles (Robert
Downey Jr. in Iron Man 3, Brad Pitt in
World War Z, Sandra Bullock and Melissa
McCarthy in The Heat). Of course,
Reynolds, Smith and Tatum would be the
exceptions here.

Foothill has hits, misses in Damn Yankees
By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Sports fans can be a fanatical lot. Some
will do almost anything to help their
favorite team.
Thats what happens in Damn Yankees,
presented by Foothill Music Theatre and
Foothill Theatre Arts. Frustrated that the
Washington Senators baseball team
always loses the pennant to the hated New
York Yankees, an avid fan says hed sell
his soul to see the Senators prevail.
The devil takes him up on the offer.
Hell transform the middle-aged, out-of-
shape fan into a young slugger wholl lead
the Senators to victory. The fan agrees,
disappearing from his present life and
reappearing as a young man with a differ-
ent name.
Thus Damn Yankees illustrates a well-
known caution: Be careful what you wish
for.
Thats what the hero, Joe Boyd (Matt
Tipton), learns when he becomes the
young Joe Hardy (Daniel Mitchell). Joe
leaves behind his wife, Meg Boyd (Mary
Melnick), and finds that he misses her
more than he could have imagined.
The Tony-winning Damn Yankees was
a hit when it opened on Broadway in 1955,
and most of its subsequent productions
have followed suit. The FMT production is
not one of them.
As directed by Tom Gough of the
Foothill faculty, it lacks some of the focus
and cohesion that have characterized
Foothill productions directed by former
artistic director Jay Manley, who founded
FMT but recently retired to freelance.
Still, with its large cast of students and
community members, the show has some
strong qualities. They include performanc-
es by several principals, such as Boyd as
older Joe, Mitchell as younger Joe and
Melnick as Meg.
Mitchell acts and sings well, especially
in Goodbye Old Girl, sweetly sung first
by older Joe and then by younger Joe as
the transformation takes place.
Melnick is believable as Meg expresses
her frustration in Six Months Out of
Every Year, when Joe and so many men
pay more attention to baseball than their
wives. She also is convincing in Megs
belief that Joe will return.
Also noteworthy is Jeff
Clarke as Applegate, the
smooth-talking devil
wholl do anything he can
to keep Joe from returning
to his original life. Clarke
has fun with Those Were the Good Old
Days, in which Applegate recalls some of
his nefarious deeds.
Richard Lewis makes a suitably crusty
Benny Van Buren, manager of the
Senators. His big moment comes in (You
Gotta Have) Heart.
Caitlin Lawrence-Papp does well as
Gloria Thorpe, a reporter.
Jen Wheatonfox sings well as Lola, the
vamp sent by Applegate to make Joe forget
Meg.
Choreography by Katie OBryon lacks
precision and imagination. Musical direc-
tor Catherine Sniders orchestra sounds
ragged at times.
Margaret Toomeys scenic design also
lacks imagination (or a more generous
budget). The costumes are by Janis
Bergmann, the lighting by Edward Hunter
and the sound (sometimes problematic) by
Ken Kilen.
Attending a Foothill show always is
pleasant because the campus is so attrac-
tive. Seeing Damn Yankees also is pleas-
ant because of the show itself, but its a
letdown after so many outstanding FMT
productions in the past.
Damn Yankees will continue in
Smithwick Theatre, Foothill College,
12345 El Monte Road, Los Altos Hills,
through Aug. 18. For tickets and informa-
tion call 949-7360 or visit www.foothill-

Since the arrival of the Wii U eight
months ago, early adopters have been
thirsting for a killer app, that one game that
shows off the flair and imagination for
which Nintendos best-loved hits such as
Super Mario Galaxy or The Legend of
Zelda: Ocarina of Time are known.
Pikmin 3 (Nintendo, for the Wii U,
$59.99) is not that game.
Its a solid, amusing adventure that will
please fans of the long-dormant series. But
it doesnt bring much new to the franchise,
and if you didnt care for Pikmin and
Pikmin 2, you wont get much out of this
high-denition upgrade.
As Pikmin 3 begins, three astronauts
Alph, Brittany and Charlie are search-
ing for a new food source for their dying
home planet, Koppai. The lush PNF-404
looks promising, but a crash landing turns
their mission from exploration to survival.
They have three goals: nd each other, nd
food to live on and nd the parts to x their
broken spaceship.
Alph quickly discovers that the native
Pikmin are happy to help. Individually,
theyre scrawny, vulnerable creatures, but if
you throw enough of them at a problem
say, building a bridge or getting rid of am-
ing snails they can usually handle it. And
I mean throw literally; the astronauts
control the Pikmin by tossing them toward
their objectives.
You start off with just a few of the little
guys, but you can spawn up to 100 by feed-
ing certain objects into an onion, a bul-
bous craft that also serves as home to your
Pikmin. There are ve types. Red ones can
withstand re, blue ones can swim and yel-
low ones can conduct electricity. New to the
series are rock Pikmin, which can smash
through crystals, and winged Pikmin,
which can y.
The core gameplay exploring PNF-
404, battling predators and gathering fruit
is rewarding, so its frustrating that
Pikmin 3 gets bogged down by a restraint
thats been part of the series since its
beginning. Each sojourn into the planets
verdant forests lasts a day, or about 15 min-
utes in game time. Thats not enough time
to comfortably explore this expansive
world; whenever youre on the verge of
solving a clever puzzle or taking down a
resilient monster, youll be summoned back
to the spaceship.
You can better budget your time by divid-
ing up your party, sending one group of
Pikmin to mindlessly harvest fruit while
you tackle more demanding challenges. But
I resented the articial 15-minute limit and
remain bafed by Nintendos insistence on
regularly interrupting the fun parts with
boring screens of text and statistics telling
me how badly Id just failed.
The enjoyment is also compromised by a
complicated control scheme. You need to
use the old-fashioned Wiimote to survive
the more intense battles, pointing at the
enemy and inging Pikmin with the Abut-
ton. But you also need the Wii U GamePad,
which displays maps and other vital infor-
mation.
Pikmin 3 is a strange beast. Its a sim-
plied take on strategy games like XCOM
and StarCraft that, at times, feels unnec-
essarily convoluted. And while its cute
enough to appeal to kids, its story
humans arrive, enslave or kill the natives
and steal all the resources reads like a
vicious satire of colonialism. Im not sure if
that was Nintendos intention, but its
something to ponder while youre hurling
dozens of screaming Pikmin to their deaths.
Two-and-a-half stars out of four.
Pikmin 3 both delights and frustrates
Pikmin 3 is a solid, amusing adventure that will please fans of the long-dormant series. But
it doesnt bring much new to the franchise.
with other permanent schools.
If approved by 55 percent of voters, the
bonds aim is to help both schools open for
the 2016-17 school year, following a
design process and construction of about
three years.
Simms said the district has been doing a
good job of absorbing the growing enroll-
ment since 2006, but it has a short time left
before it wont be enough. Trustee Colleen
Sullivan agreed, saying she has watched
each district campus have growing pains
because of size.
If the measure passes, a committee would
be formed to decide on changing school
boundaries in San Mateo because of the
reopening of Knolls. There is a possibility
it could be opened as a magnet school,
which wouldnt affect the borders. Simms
said its best to wait until Knolls is con-
rmed to open before making a choice on
boundaries.
Parents and others in the community
spoke in support of the measure.
Teresa Harvey, Highlands Elementary
School teacher, said as a parent with kids in
Foster City, she sees the schools as being
far too overcrowded without enough super-
vision. San Mateo parent Sherri Verducci
said shes denitely willing to pay extra for
school improvements.
Some community members brought up
concerns, however.
Attorney, parent and San Mateo resident
Diane Papan said the bond measure would be
a much easier sell for San Mateo voters if
there are some spots for San Mateo stu-
dents.
Last year, the district nixed a $130 mil-
lion bond measure that would have proposed
buying up land in Foster City to build a new
school so it could better communicate its
goals with the public. This came after the
Superintendents Committee on
Overcrowding Relief recommended the
board replace Bowditch and move fifth
graders there, which is now part of the cur-
rent bond measure. The bond would cost
property owners $19 per $100,000
assessed property value.

feel its important. But if you put it
across the landscape of all the other
structures, like the infrastructure
beneath the money, you see that
implementing good governance
means money is just one thing, said
Nancy Magee, administrator of board
support and community relations.
The grand jury said in 2007, the
County Board of Education unanimous-
ly agreed to apply for a $109,400 fed-
eral grant for its adult program but
never actually did so. The jury further
contends that in 2012-13, more than
$43.7 million in federal money was
available for technical training. Based
on the amount received by the equiva-
lent-sized Tulare County Office of
Education, San Mateo County stood to
receive about $620,933 which would
have pushed up its revenue by about 9
percent.
But Magee said the COE did apply as
part of a consortium because of its
small size but its piece of the grant was
small and highly restricted. The next
year the consortium dissolved, leaving
the ofce unable to apply on its own
even if it wanted to.
Another structural change came in
2006, when a new law required 90 per-
cent of attendees be high school stu-
dents rather than adults. The shift
meant more classes could be on high
school campuses but the bulk remain
in the Sequoia Union and San Mateo
Union high school districts. Many
districts say they would welcome more
classes but dont have enough money
or knocked the occupational program
down the priority list in response to
the 2007 budget freeze, according to
the jury.
In 2011-12, the last full year report-
ed, the regional occupational pro-
grams enrollment was 93 percent
high school students 3,425 and 7
percent, or 242, adults.
More change is in the works, too.
The governors overhaul of K-12 fund-
ing expanded local control and elimi-
nated funding of technical programs at
all but 12 counties, including San
Mateo. The countys money is spared
for the next two years but the local
funding formula means it could be used
for other purposes.
The jury used this change as another
reason to maximize funding opportu-
nities like seeking federal and state
grants and underwriting by the busi-
ness community.
The jury also recommends the
County Ofce of Education document
its fundamental policies using state
and federal guidelines on evaluating
success, establishing accountability
and responding to changing economic
demands. The school districts are
asked to work with the county ofce to
expand their curriculum or document
why they arent and require guidance
counselors to consider discussing
technical classes with each student.
Magee said education ofcials need
to take a long-range view on funding
and curriculum priorities which
includes realizing that more classes
mean more teachers.
Civil grand jury reports carry no
legal weight to mandate change but
recipients must respond in writing
within 90 days.

Lindhartsen said the new restaurant
sprung from customer demand.
We serve Mexican food every
Wednesday night at Alanas,
Lindhartsen said. For the past ve or
six years customers have been request-
ing it.
She said the menu is still in the
works, but that they plan on serving
authentic Mexican food. The name
comes from Alanas chef, Benjamin
Prieto, fathers name: Sixto.
The new cantina will house a 5,000-
square-foot space, 4,000 square feet
larger than their Burlingame Alanas
location. They will also be hiring a
whole new staff, bringing on 50 to 60
people.
Teresa and I are both excited; we
cant wait to add another restaurant to
Burlingame, Tashjian said.
What will make the new restaurant
similar to the Alanas franchise?
It will be a community-driven
restaurant, Tashjian said. We believe
in servers and patrons all becoming
very close and like family. Theres a
great bond we strive to have between
staff and clients. Its an easy, great
place for people to pop into frequently
just because they feel its so much like
home.
Is Lindhartsen concerned about the
Burlingame Avenue Streetscape con-
struction affecting Sixtos business?
Im not worried, Lindhartsen said.
It hasnt affected Alanas. You cant
have change without work in the mid-
dle.
Lindhartsen said she believes the
end result of the construction will
result in a new and improved
Burlingame Avenue.
The restaurant will be hacienda
style, with a full bar, patio seating and
outdoor sidewalk seating. There will
also be private dining upstairs for spe-
cial events and a happy hour.
The two women also own Alanas
Cafe in Redwood City on Main Street
in the Dielmann House. They have run
the breakfast, lunch and dinner joint
Alanas for 20 years.
Sixtos website sixtoscantina.com
is under construction as well, accord-
ing to Alanas General Manager Tim
Terry.
Tentative hours are 11 a.m. to 10
p.m. daily, but they plan to be open
later on weekends. An ofcial opening
date has not been set yet. The location
Sixtos will take over was previously
Hola Mexican Restaurant & Cantina
until last year.

immediately taken into custody with-
out bail after jurors convicted him in
February and earned credit of 352 days
against his year jail term.
He faced up to three years prison for
the two felonies, animal cruelty and
malicious killing of an animal. The
prosecution asked for a two-year
prison term with one year in custody
and one year supervision which would-
nt have changed the custody time but
be symbolic, said Chief Deputy
District Attorney Karen Guidotti.
Prosecutors argued that on March
26, 2012 Montano-Topete approached
his 16-year-old neighbor, saying he
was sick of the dog coming onto his
property and had struck it with a piece
of brick. He threw the brick at Globsis,
a 5-year-old poodle, because he saw
the 12-pound dog having sex with his
small Chihuahua. The dog had report-
edly impregnated the Chihuahua twice
previously.
Montano-Topete told jurors he
tossed the brick from approximately
seven feet away rather than striking
the animal directly.
But prosecutors called the girls
mom to testify that he had never com-
plained about the dog and a sheriffs
deputy said Montano-Topete had
admitted hitting the dog in the face.
An animal abuse expert who con-
ducted the dogs necropsy for the
Peninsula Humane Society testied the
poodle suffered multiple skull fractures
which caused him extreme pain.
Defense attorney Ross Green did not
return a call for comment.

THE CITY Council of the
City of Millbrae, at its
meeting on July 23, 2013,
enacted an Ordinance en-
titled:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE
CITY OF MILLBRAE
AMENDING AND RE-
STATING IN ITS ENTIRE-
TY MILLBRAE MUNICI-
PAL CODE CHAPTER
5.60 REGARDING THE
REGULATION OF BUSI-
NESSES IN THE CITY OF
MILLBRAE PROVIDING
MASSAGE THERAPY
SERVICES
The Ordinance alters the
City's regulatory role rela-
tive to massage therapy
services to reflect new
State law and is based on
the ordinance adopted by
the County of San Mateo
in 2012 and codified in
Chapter 5.44 of Title 5 of
the San Mateo County Or-
dinance Code, "Massage
Establishments." As re-
quired by new State law, a
single permitting process
for all massage practition-
ers established at the
State level replaces the
myriad of permitting pro-
grams adopted by individ-
ual counties and cities.
The Ordinance requires
massage practitioners and
therapists working in the
City to be State-certified;
requires all massage busi-
nesses in the City to regis-
ter and obtain a City busi-
ness license; includes new
operating attire and hy-
giene requirements for
massage practitioners and
businesses that are con-
sistent with current best
practices and legal limits;
provides related enforce-
ment mechanisms to com-
plement those in place at
the State level; and speci-
fies limited exemptions,
such as for licensed medi-
cal professionals. All four
members of the City Coun-
cil that were present at the
meeting, to wit, Council-
members Colapietro, Gott-
schalk, Oliva and Mayor
Papan, voted in favor of
the adoption of this Ordi-
nance. This Summary was
prepared by the City Attor-
ney in accordance with
Government Code Section
36933(c)(1).

By Albert Aji and Zeina Karam
DAMASCUS, Syria Rebels sent a wave
of rockets slamming into regime strong-
holds in the central city of Homs on
Thursday, triggering a succession of mas-
sive explosions in a weapons depot that
killed at least 40 people and wounded
dozens, an opposition group and residents
said.
The attack one of the most potent
against pro-government districts in the
area overshadowed a rare trip by
President Bashar Assad to a former opposi-
tion bastion outside the capital, Damascus,
during which he deantly vowed in front of
troops to defeat the rebels ghting to top-
ple him.
The huge explosion in the Homs district
of Wadi Dahab delivered a jolt to Assads
regime, which for weeks has been boasting
of achievements against the rebels in the
strategic Homs region and the suburbs of
Damascus.
The achievements on the ground speak
for themselves, Assad told soldiers in
Daraya, a few kilometers (miles) south of
the capital. Without you we would all be
slaves to the countries that want to subju-
gate us. But the Syrian people will never be
slaves. Not in the past, present or future,
he said.
The attack in Homs targeted the neighbor-
hoods of Zahra, Akrama and Wadi Dahab,
which are all populated mostly by Alawites,
the same sect as Assad.
It showed that rebels ghting to oust
Assad are still able to strike back despite
signicant advances by the military that
have bolstered the condence of the regime.
The blasts sent a massive ball of re and a
black mushroom cloud into the sky and
caused widespread damage and panic among
residents, many of whom are supporters of
Assad. Fireghters struggled for two hours
to put out the ames.
The rst explosion knocked people off
their feet, said one Homs resident, adding
that successive smaller explosions lasted
for over an hour. He declined to be named,
fearing retaliation.
He said the blasts were so strong they
cracked the walls of some buildings and
blew doors and window frames off their
hinges. The slum area of Wadi Dahab hous-
es mostly one- or two-story buildings.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory
for Human Rights, which closely moni-
tors the fighting via a network of
activists on the ground, said at least 40
people were killed and 120 were wounded
some critically when rockets struck
the arms depot in the southern part of
Wadi Dahab and ignited the fire.
Activists in the city corroborated that
account, saying at least 40 were killed and
many others wounded. They said the regime
is known to keep arms depots in those
areas.
An ofcial at the governors ofce in
Homs said six people were killed and 145
wounded when about 10 rockets slammed
into the neighborhood of Zahra and the
nearby sports stadium. He said one rocket
struck a civil defense center, referring to the
Wadi Dahab area, although he did not direct-
ly address the weapons depot.
He spoke on condition of anonymity
because he wasnt authorized to release the
information.

Morsi supporters defy
police warnings to disperse
CAIRO Egypts military-backed gov-
ernment offered protection Thursday to sup-
porters of deposed President Mohammed
Morsi who end their two sit-ins widely
seen as a rst step toward dispersing the
vigils on opposite sides of Cairo.
But the protesters responded deantly:
Over our dead bodies!
The standoff underscored the ongoing
political crisis since the armed forces top-
pled Egypts first democratically elected
leader on July 3: thousands in the streets
demanding Morsis reinstatement, a gov-
ernment unable to exert its authority, and
recurrent violence that has killed more than
260 people.
Rights groups, activists and politicians
from rival camps, fearful of more blood-
shed, tried to ward off any use of force,
including a suggestion of putting a human
chain around the protest sites.
International pressure grew for the inter-
im government to release Morsi and create a
process that includes his Muslim
Brotherhood, Egypts largest political fac-
tion, which refuses to deal with the new
authorities.
Kerry says drone strikes
in Pakistan could end
ISLAMABAD The United States and
Pakistan agreed Thursday to restart high-
level talks on security and other issues, yet
the two sides still deeply mistrust each
other in a relationship frayed by disputes
over issues like U.S. drone attacks, which
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said
could end soon.
Kerrys remarks to Pakistan TV about a
possible end to the CIA-led program of
drone strikes was the rst time an adminis-
tration ofcial has said the Obama adminis-
tration wants to end the program. Kerry
offered no timetable, and spokeswomen
assured reporters he was merely reecting
President Barack Obamas statements in a
speech earlier this year.
