BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Agroup of protesters gathered on the
steps in front of the California Public
Utilities Commissions building in
San Francisco Thursday morning
demanding the removal of commission
president Michael Peevey.
The call for Peeveys ousting comes
just weeks after San Mateo County
politicians blasted
the CPUC and called
upon state Attorney
General Kamala
Harris to conduct an
investigation into
the commissions
allegedly unlawful
relationship with
PG&E in the wake
of the 2010 San
Bruno explosion.
The Sept. 9, 2010, explosion of a
PG&E gas line in San Brunos
Crestmoor neighborhood killed eight
people, injured 66, destroyed 38
homes and severely damaged 17 oth-
ers.

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Board of Supervisors is holding off a decision on dis-
solving the Harbor District until after the commission gov-
erning special districts completes its municipal service
review.
Acivil grand jury investigation into the district conclud-
ed that it should be disbanded beginning by the end of the

Skys no limit for
Czech chimney climbers
DOLNI SMRZOVKA, Czech Republic
From afar, they look like ants crawl-
ing up a tower into the sky.
Dozens of members of the Czech
Union of Chimney Climbers scaled the
60-meter- (200-foot-) tall chimney of a
former textile factory one recent
Saturday a hobby they do for thrills
and incomparable views.
A 76-year-old former track-and-eld
athlete and an 8-year-old boy were
among those who clambered up the
chimneys ladder.
Its a joy to climb one, to look
around from the top on a beautiful
sunny day, said organizer Jiri
Chudoba. Its also great to see the oth-
ers smile and be happy.
The 30-year-old shared a trophy for
the best chimney climber last year for
scaling a record 23,000 meters over
nearly 330 days.
It started as the Soviet-era dream of a
teenager Vladimir Randysek who
gazed out from his home at a 140-meter
high Prague chimney for years, think-
ing how liberating it would be to climb
i t .
In 1981, he and three other friends
decided to make the dream reality. What
was supposed to be a single adventure
poking fun at Communist authorities
turned into a regular pastime.
Gradually, it attracted more enthusi-
asts who consider their hobby a way
of life.
Today, more than a thousand mem-
bers of the union make sure that a chim-
ney is climbed every single day.
California teens arrested
in 920 chicken deaths
FRESNO Deputies have arrested
four young men one adult and three
juveniles suspected of breaking
into a Foster Farms chicken ranch and
killing more than 900 birds with a
golf club in California.
Fresno County sheriffs officials
acting on several tips Wednesday
tracked down 18-year-old Gabriel
Quintero of Riverdale. Also taken into
custody were two 17-year-olds and a
15-year-old.
All have been booked on charges of
burglary and felony cruelty to ani-
mals.
Fresno Sheriffs Department
spokesman Christian Curtice said he
cannot release information about what
prompted the killing of the chickens.
He didnt anticipate any more arrests
and said he did not know if the sus-
pects had attorneys.
Investigators say the suspects
pulled back a fence on Sept. 20 to
break into a barn south of Fresno.
Once inside they beat 920 chickens to
death with a golf club and possibly
another blunt instrument, investiga-
tors said.
The suspects were caught by detec-
tives from a special Fresno-based agri-
culture task force, a sheriffs unit
established to investigate farming-
related crimes in the nations leading
agra-business county, with $5 billion
in annual revenues.
Not all the chickens at the facility
were killed, said Foster Farms
spokesman Ira Brill, noting the barns
typically have several thousand chick-
ens inside. He said Thursday that as a
chicken producer certified by the
American Humane Association, the
company takes the incident seriously.
Police: Worker hid
$1,200 worth of meat in pants
CROTON-ON-HUDSON, N.Y. A
New York supermarket employee has
been accused of leaving the store with
$1,200 worth of meat hidden in his
pants.
State police say Gregory Rodriguez,
of Ossining, is charged with fourth-
degree grand larceny.
Rodriguez works at the A&P i n
Croton-on-Hudson. Police were called
Monday about the theft. Rodriguez was
arrested Tuesday.
A state police spokeswoman,
Trooper Melissa McMorris, says the
theft occurred in one day. She did not
know if it involved more than one trip
to the store.
Rodriguez was arraigned Tuesday
night in Cortlandt and sent to the
Westchester County Jail. The court
clerk says no lawyer was present and no
plea was entered.

SAN FRANCISCO The family of a
California teenager who was declared brain-
dead after suffering complications from
sleep apnea surgery is seeking an unprece-
dented court order declaring her alive, the
familys lawyer said Thursday.
Attorney Chris Dolan said doctors at the
non-profit International Brain Research
Foundation have found signs of brain func-
tions after running a series of tests on the
girl at Rutgers University last week.
The discovery came months after three
doctors, including one appointed by a
judge, declared Jahi McMath, 13, brain dead
and Alameda County issued a death certi-
cate after her Dec. 9 surgery went awry.
Since then, Jahis mother has pushed for
keeping her daughters organs functioning
on life support, rst at Childrens Hospital
in Oakland and later at an undisclosed med-
ical facility in New Jersey.
Dolan said Jahi and her parents moved to
a house in New Jersey about a month ago
where the girl remains on life support.
On Thursday, Dolan showed video clips to
a small group of reporters that he says
proves Jahi is still alive. One clip shows
her twitching her foot after her mother asks
her to move it. Another shows hand move-
ment in apparent
response to her mothers
commands.
Philip DeFina, chief
executive and chief scien-
tific officer of the
International Brain
Research Foundation,
said Jahi has responded
to commands many other
times.
There is a consistency to it, said DeFina
said.
DeFina said an examination of Jahi also
revealed that her brain was still intact,
rather than liquefying as would be expect-
ed if a brain-dead body was kept on life-sup-
port for many months.
DeFina also said brain scans showed elec-
trical activity, and other tests showed blood
owing to the brain.
Arthur Caplan, head of medical ethics at
New York Universitys Langone Medical
Center, said he knows of no cases of a brain
death determination being reversed. He cau-
tioned that the data collected on Jahi has to
be examined by other researchers and
experts in the eld before any conclusions
can be made.
Were this to be true, it would be an earth-
shattering development in understanding
death, Caplan said. Theyre playing a
high-stakes game.
Lawyers for the University of California,
San Francisco Benioff Childrens Hospital
said the evidence in Jahis case still sup-
ports the determination that she is legally
dead.
This is a sad situation where the court
made the correct determination that Jahi
McMath was dead, hospital attorney
Douglas Strauss stated in court papers.
There is no factual basis or legal justica-
tion for requiring those involved to endure
re-litigation of that properly reached deter-
mination.
After the December surgery, Jahi began
bleeding heavily and went into cardiac
arrest. She was declared brain-dead Dec. 12.
Her mother and other family members
refuse to believe the girl is dead as long as
her heart is beating. They went to court last
winter seeking an order to prevent the hos-
pital from removing a respirator and feeding
tube.
The two sides reached an agreement allow-
ing Jahi to be transferred if her mother
assumed responsibility for further compli-
cations. She was removed from Childrens
Hospital on Jan. 5, less than two days
before an injunction that would have
allowed the hospital to remove the equip-
ment.
A court hearing has been scheduled for
Oct. 9.

Theyre believed to be the first cases
reported in Northern California. Others were
in Los Angeles, San Diego and Ventura
counties.
Enterovirus D68 can cause mild to severe
respiratory illness. Theres no vaccine or

Spare the Air alert issued for Friday
A Spare the Air alert has been issued for
Friday because of unhealthy ozone pollu-
tion expected in the Bay Area, regional air
quality ofcials said Thursday.
High temperatures and low winds are
expected to cause smoggy conditions
Friday, according to the Bay Area Air
Quality Management District, which issued
the alert, its 10th of the summer season. The
most recent alert was issued for Sept. 12.
The air district encourages Bay Area resi-
dents to drive less, particularly on Spare the
Air days.
As this late seasonal hot spell brings
smoggy conditions to the region, its
important that Bay Area residents take
action to improve air quality, air district
executive ofcer Jack Broadbent said in a
statement. Walking, biking, carpooling or
taking public transit instead of driving
alone can help reduce air pollution every
day.
On Spare the Air days, the air district
advises people to only exercise outside in
the early morning hours when ozone con-
centrations are lower.
People can nd out when a Spare the Air
alert has been issued by signing up at
www.sparetheair.org, calling (800) HELP-
AIR, downloading the Spare the Air smart-
phone app or connecting with Spare the Air
on Facebook or Twitter.

Being attentive to citizens concerns, bal-
ancing economic development with trafc
impacts and whether to implement a half-
cent sales tax extension are top issues for the
seven candidates vying for three seats on the
Half Moon Bay City Council.
As Councilwoman Naomi Patridge will
vacate her position after nearly 20 years,
three seats are open in the Nov. 4 election.
Candidates include incumbents Allan Alifano
and Rick Kowalczyk, each running for their
second term, David Eblovi, Deborah
Penrose, Don Prestosz, Harvey Rarback and
Deborah Ruddock. Rarback currently sits as
the director on the Coastside Fire Protection
District board and Ruddock previously served
on the council from 1992 to 2003.
Interviews were held last week to help the
Daily Journal determine endorsements. To
allow each candidate a forum to express their
opinions on the issues discussed, candidates
were given the same questions and asked to
answer each in around 50 words. Answers are
arranged alphabetically by the candidates
last name.
What would be your number one pri-
ority if elected or re-elected to the
City Council?
Al i fano: Our new library will be my main
priority. For the last many years, our com-
munity has talked about a new library but
only recently have we been able to truly see
this as a real possibility. Through good
nancial controls, our city nally has the
nancial resources to build our new library.
Ebl ovi: There are too many issues that
need attention, but reviewing and xing the
citys nancials, changing the dialogue and
actually accomplishing useful things would
be a great start.
Kowalczyk: A new library. Building a
new library will provide an amazing gift to
our community, but it also symbolizes our
health as a city. We can build a new library
because we are nancially stable once again,
and able to invest in our community for the
rst time in decades.
Penro s e: Repair the citys infrastructure
and return the liability to the city. Our citi-
zens, especially those who are on xed or
have low incomes cannot afford to take on
the responsibility of lawsuits. We need to
decrease greenhouse gases through encour-
aging walking bicycle usage on completed
trails.
Pres t os z: My priority, after the Main
Street Bridge, is the use of wastewater for
irrigation.
Rarback: Stopping wasteful expenditures
like the $6 million which was destined to be
spent destroying the Main Street Bridge; the
$400,000 lost to a lawsuit because the coun-
cil was determined to be deliberately violat-
ing the Coastal Act; the thousands spent on
PR consultants to promote the incumbents
candidacy.
Ruddock: Prioritizing customer serv-
ice. The public is partner not adversary. Lets
embrace public participation, ensure the best
ideas rise to the top no matter the source,
anticipate rather than react and apologize
when were wrong. This is good govern-
ment.
Do you believe the city needs to be
more responsi ve to the communi tys
needs and how would you go about
strengthening the publics ti es to the
City Council?
Al i fano: Our City Council and our staff
are committed to improving our communica-
tion with our community. We need to expand
the use of citizen committees to discuss crit-
ical issues that concern our residents. We
recently agreed to establish a General Plan
Advisory Committee. This GPAC group has
members covering the entire spectrum of our
community.
Ebl ovi: Yes. Id start by interacting with
the majority of the people of Half Moon
Bay, and I would represent their broad swath
of interests in lieu of the narrow group that
the current tone-deaf council represents.
Kowalczyk: The city needs to be more in
tune with the community, as well as commu-
nicate better, like we did to get input from
more than 2,000 residents for the new
library project. More outreach, in English
and Spanish, will help ensure that the entire
community is well represented.
Penro s e: It is shameful that our council
makes decisions through outsourcing to
non-local experts and only then presents the
plan to the citizens. We need to use local tal-
ent and include all points of view to make
reasonable, economic and judicious deci-
sions. If the city is listening, citizens will
participate.
Pres t os z: I believe that the process and
city regulations should apply to all residents
equally.
Rarback: The council has turned a deaf ear
to the communitys needs. The community
was outraged when the council abdicated its
liability for sidewalks. The community had
to go to the trouble and expense of initiating
a ballot measure to get the council to stop
the destruction of the Main Street Bridge.
Ruddock: Our insular council made cost-
l y, callous decisions including foisting side-
walk liability on property owners and ght-
ing the public over the Main Street Bridge.
Lets send a positive signal by taking back
sidewalk liability then expanding public
involvement with the budget and general
plan, our two most important policy docu-
ments.
What, if anything, would you have
done di fferentl y duri ng the Mai n
Street Bridge conict and how do you
propose movi ng forward?
Al i fano: The council should have noted
the building momentum for a possible rehab
of the current bridge and worked to avoid a
confrontation over a new bridge versus a
rehab option. In order to re-establish good
working relations with our community, the
council has voted to establish a Main Street
Bridge Advisory Committee.
Ebl ovi: Everything. Perhaps the rst
thing I would have done would have been to
ban green tractors weighing 1,500 pounds
from using the bridge. Moving forward, Id
re everyone involved and start the process
over from the beginning.
Kowalczyk: Half Moon Bay residents
overwhelmingly supported the Main Street
Bridge Preservation Act, and so do I. Aslow-
er process that allowed additional time for
input as well as testing would have been
helpful. Moving forward, we will identify a

WASHINGTON The number of
people seeking U.S. unemployment
benets dropped 8,000 last week to a
seasonally adjusted 287,000, as the
total number of beneciaries dropped
to its lowest level in more than eight
years.
The four-week average of applica-
tions, a less volatile measure, fell
4,250 to 294,750, the Labor
Department said Thursday. Overall,
2.3 million people are receiving job-
less aid. Thats the fewest since June
2006, which predates the start of the
Great Recession by 18 months.
The numbers are so low now that it
seems just a matter of time before we
see a run of big gains in monthly hir-
ing figures, said Ian Shepherdson,
chief economist at Pantheon
Macroeconomics.
Applications are a proxy for layoffs.
The recent decline suggests that
employers are keeping their workers,
likely because they expect continued
economic growth and may be contem-
plating more hires.
The steady decline in people apply-
ing for benets began at the end of
April, after brutal winter weather tem-
porarily caused a halt to economic
growth.
The drop in applications has corre-
sponded with stronger job gains for
much of 2014. Americans are also
more condent in the economy and
thus spending more. Adjusted for ina-
tion, consumer spending increased in
August at the fastest pace in six
months.
Applications for U.S. jobless
benefits drops to 287,000
Protesters pack meeting on education changes
GOLDEN, Colo. Students and teachers ghting a plan
to promote patriotism and downplay civil disobedience in
some suburban Denver U.S. history courses packed a school
board meeting Thursday where the controversial changes
could face a vote.
Turnout was so high that the teachers union streamed
video from the meeting room which holds a couple hun-
dred people onto a big screen in the parking lot outside.
About 300 students, parents and teachers opposed to the
proposal rallied in the parking lot and marched along near-
by streets before the meeting.
Carole Morenz, holding a small American ag and a sign
that said History matters. Know the truth, traveled from
Pueblo because she said shes worried the change in
approach to teaching history could be the biggest cultural
shift of our lifetime.
Students in a majority of the 17 high schools in
Colorados second-largest school district have left classes
in droves over the past few weeks, waving signs and ags in
protests organized by word of mouth and social media.
Many teachers also have been calling in sick, forcing
school to be canceled some days.
The protests started Sept. 19, the day after the Jefferson
County school board proposed creating a committee to
review texts and course plans, starting with Advanced
Placement history, to make sure materials promote citizen-
ship, patriotism, essentials and benets of the free-market
system, respect for authority and respect for individual
rights and dont encourage or condone civil disorder,
social strife or disregard of the law.
Secret Service moving forward in wake of scandal
WASHINGTON With the dust still settling from a series
of embarrassing security failures that marred the Secret
Services reputation and forced its director to resign, the
agency is starting the arduous and public task of rebuilding
itself.
The Obama administration has called for an independent
panel to take a look at the agency from top to bottom and
make recommendations for a permanent successor for oust-
ed Director Julia Pierson.
But that will take months.
White House spokesman Eric Schultz said Thursday that
President Barack Obama wont name a new permanent direc-
tor until Dec. 15, at the earliest. Thats the deadline for com-
pleting a separate, internal probe into what went wrong on
Sept. 19, when a fence-jumper carrying a knife was able to
run deep into the executive mansion.

WASHINGTON The Supreme
Court said Thursday it will consider
whether retailer Abercrombie & Fitch
discriminated against a Muslim woman
who was denied a job because her head-
scarf conicted with the companys
dress code, which the clothing chain
has since changed.
The justices agreed to hear the
Obama administrations appeal of a
lower court decision that ruled the New
Albany, Ohio-based company did not
discriminate because the job applicant
did not specically say she needed a
religious accommodation.
At issue is how employers must deal
with laws that require them to make
allowances for a workers religious
practices, as long as doing so does not
cause the business too much hardship.
A federal judge initially sided with
the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission, which sued on behalf of
Samantha Elauf.

LOS ANGELES Aproposal on the
November ballot to borrow billions
of dollars to build reservoirs and
restore watersheds has divided
Californias environmental commu-
nity over fears that it could open the
way for salmon-killing dams or give-
aways to corporate fruit and nut grow-
ers.
The rise of organized opposition to
whats known as Proposition 1 comes
about a month before the election,
with independent polls showing vot-
ers favoring the blueprint that is one
of Gov. Jerry Browns signature ini-
tiatives.
Its a bad deal for California tax-
payers and wont solve Californias
water problems, said Adam Scow,
state director of Food & Water Watch,
which staged a protest against the
proposition Thursday in Beverly
Hills.
When you have 1,400 dams in
California, pouring concrete to make
... new dams aint going to make it
rain, he said.
If enacted by voters Nov. 4, the pro-
posal would authorize $7.5 billion in
borrowing for an array of projects as
California struggles through a pun-
ishing drought and record heat.
Everyone agrees California needs to
do something about its creaky water
storage and distribution systems and a
muddle of rules, some dating back
more than a century, that determine
who gets it and how much.
But environmentalists are deeply
split over whether the ballot propos-
al is the answer, or even a worthwhile
step.
Environmentalists divided over water projects

HELP WANTED

By Nedra Pickler and Jim Kuhnhenn
EVANSTON, Ill. President Barack
Obama acknowledged his pivotal role in the
midterm political campaign Thursday, argu-
ing that the November congressional elec-
tions are a referendum on his economic poli-
cies and blaming Republicans for blocking
his efforts to boost wages and create more
jobs.
In a speech at Northwestern University that
marked a shift in attention from foreign
entanglements to domestic concerns, Obama
laid claim to an economic recovery that he
said has made steady progress, yet he conced-
ed that many families have not beneted from
lower unemployment, beefed-up corporate
prots and a pumped-up stock market.
Obama offered a lengthy defense of his
policies, from bailing out the auto industry
to his health care law, and he renewed his call
for a higher minimum wage and equal pay leg-
islation. He said that while hes not seeking
election in November, these policies are on
the ballot, every single one of them.
Promoting pocketbook issues in the
homestretch of the midterm election cam-
paign, Obama fluctuated between bullish
assurances that the recovery was real and
recognition that joblessness and low wages
still afict millions of Americans.
These truths arent incompatible, he.
Our broader economy in the aggregate has
come a long way, but the gains of recovery
arent yet broadly shared.
He underscored the political climate just
four weeks before congressional elections,
accusing Republicans of rejecting efforts to
increase the minimum wage, renance stu-
dent loans or extend unemployment benet s
and of pressing for more tax cuts for the
wealthy.
When nearly all the gains of the recovery
have gone to the top 1 percent, when income
inequality is at as high a rate as weve seen in
decades, he said, I nd that hard to swal-
low.
The speech came after Obama spent weeks
consumed with international crises, though
the White House had always planned to refo-
cus on the economy to assure voters that he
hasnt forgotten about their money strug-
gles.
An Associated Press-GfK poll released
Wednesday found that the economy is the top
issue for the Americans most likely to cast
ballots in the midterm elections. Nine out of
10 consider it extremely or very important in
deciding their votes for Congress. They have
just one month to make up their minds, and
Obama plans to speak out more during that
time on pocketbook concerns, including a
jobs speech Friday in Indiana.
Besides criticizing Republicans for block-
ing his economic proposals, he also needled
his favorite news media target, saying that
fewer Republicans were running against his
health care plan because while good, afford-
able health care might seem to be a fanged
threat to freedom on Fox News, it turns out its
s working pretty well in the real world.
As the economy shows signs of improv-
ing, however, Obamas challenge has been to
walk a delicate line taking some credit for
an economic recovery without seeming to
disregard continuing hard times.
Its very tricky for a president when
economies are emerging from recessions,
said Matt Bennett, a strategist who has con-
sulted for various Democratic candidates.
Its just very difcult to take credit that you
are due or as much as presidents are due
blame or credit for the economy without
sounding a false note for people who still
feel very vulnerable.
Many important indicators are in a posi-
tive place unemployment has been going
down, consumer spending is up and housing
prices are rising. The stock market hit
records in the past month, though it has soft-
ened in recent days.

WASHINGTON Half of
Americans think theres a high risk
of a terrorist attack on U.S. soil,
yet only a third are closely follow-
ing news of U.S. airstrikes against
Islamic extremists in the Middle
East.
Most people do think the
airstrikes are a good idea. Two-
thirds of those questioned for an
Associated Press-GfK poll say they
favor the offensive by the U.S. and
allies. And, despite, more than a
decade of costly war, about one-
third favor going beyond that and
putting American military boots on
the ground in Iraq or Syria.
President Barack Obama says he
has no plans to send ground troops
to either country. Alittle more than
a third say they are opposed to the
idea, and about one in four say they
neither favor nor oppose it.
Thats thousands of miles away.
What about concern at home?
According to the poll, most
think theres a high risk of a terror-
ist attack inside the United States,
53 percent, though just 20 percent
call it an extremely high risk. An
additional 32 percent say the
nation is at moderate risk of a ter-
rorist attack and 12 percent say it
faces a low risk of terror attacks.
The poll has not asked that spe-
cic question in the past. However,
the finding tracks with Pew
Research Center data from July
indicating that concern had ebbed
somewhat since the Sept. 11,
2001, attacks.
This summer, the Pew survey said
59 percent of Americans were
very or somewhat worried that
there would soon be another terror-
ist attack in the United States.
Thats lower than the 73 percent
that Pew found were concerned, fol-
lowing 9/11, that another attack
was imminent and about the same
as the 58 percent who were worried
about another attack after the April
2013 Boston Marathon bombing.
There hasnt been a massive ter-
rorist attack on U.S. soil since
9/11.
Those in the AP-GfK survey are
split on whether they approve of
the way Obama is handling the
threat from terrorism and speci-
cally the threat posed by the
Islamic State group. About half
approve and about half disapprove
of Obamas actions to confront the
threat. Still, those gures are better
than Obamas approval ratings for
handling top domestic issues. Just
40 percent approve of his handling
of the economy, 41 percent
approve of his work on health care
and 34 percent approve of the way
hes handling immigration.
Douglas Dowden, 49, a native of
San Diego who now lives in central
California, said he thinks the threat
from the Islamic State group is
overblown. He doesnt support
Obamas decision to launch
airstrikes.
How many terror threat attacks
happen in countries like say Spain,
Italy, the U.S.? Its not that often. I
have more fear of what some whack
job locally is going to do thats
more of a concern to me than some
potential threat from some extrem-
ist group, Dowden said.
Poll: Half think U.S. is at
high risk of terror attack
OPINION 9
Fighting Islamic
State extremists
The New York Times
A
s we ght the Islamic
State and other extrem-
ists, theres something
that President Obama and all of us
can learn from them. For, in one
sense, the terrorists are ghting
smarter than we are.
These extremists use arms to
ght their battles in the short
term, but, to hold ground in the
long run, they also combat
Western education and womens
empowerment. They know that
illiteracy, ignorance and oppres-
sion of women create the petri
dish in which extremism can our-
ish.
Thats why the Islamic State kid-
napped Samira Salih al-Nuaimi, a
brave Iraqi woman and human
rights lawyer in Mosul, tortured
her and publicly executed her last
week. Thats why the Taliban shot
Malala Yousafzai, then 15 years
old, after she campaigned for edu-
cating girls. And thats why Boko
Haram kidnapped hundreds of
schoolgirls in northern Nigeria
and announced that it would turn
them into slaves.
In each case, the extremists rec-
ognized a basic truth: Their great-
est strategic threat comes not from
a drone but from a girl with a
book. We need to recognize, and
act on, that truth as well.
For similar reasons, the nan-
ciers of extremism have invested
heavily in fundamentalist indoctri-
nation. They have built Wahhabi
madrassas in poor Muslim coun-
tries like Pakistan, Niger and
Mali, offering free meals, as well
as scholarships for the best stu-
dents to study in the gulf.
Shouldnt we try to compete?
Shouldnt we use weapons in the
short run, but try to gain strategic
advantage by focusing on educa-
tion and on empowering women to
build stable societies less vulnera-
ble to extremist manipulation?
The United States airstrikes
have slowed the advance of the
Islamic State and averted a geno-
cide against the Yazidi population
in Iraq, but its very difcult to win
a war from the air. Thats why the
Taliban still thrives in
Afghanistan after 13 years of
American air attacks.
Unfortunately, were not play-
ing the long game, as the extrem-
ists are. We are vastly overrelying
on the military toolbox and under-
employing the education toolbox,
the womens empowerment tool-
box, the communications tool-
box. Were tacticians; alas, the
extremists may be better strate-
gists.
Its not a question of resources,
because bombs are more expen-
sive than books. The United
States military campaign against
the Islamic State, which is also
known as ISIS and ISIL, will cost
at least $2.4 billion a year and
perhaps many times that, accord-
ing to an estimate from the Center
for Strategic and Budgetary
Assessments in Washington.
In contrast, Obama seems to
have dropped his 2008 campaign
promise to establish a $2 billion
global fund for education. And the
United States gives the Global
Partnership for Education, a major
multilateral effort, less in a year
than what we spend weekly in
Syria and Iraq.
Letters to the editor
I
t would be difcult to say
that the city of Half Moon
Bay is not in better shape
now than it was four years ago.
The citys nances are stabilizing
and it is untangling itself from the
Beachwood decision, a lawsuit
over a botched development that
at one time threatened to bankrupt
the city. Though controversial at
the time, the decision to contract
police services with the Sheriffs
Ofce has proven to be a good
match for the city. Basic infra-
structure is being addressed and
new projects are being planned.
But you cant talk about Half
Moon Bay and its City Council
without talking about the recent
developments with the Main
Street Bridge. The movement
toward replacing the bridge was
done earnestly with an eye toward
safety and nances, as grant
money would assist with construc-
tion of a new bridge. But as talk of
long-term closures alarmed busi-
nesses on Main Street and others,
the council forged ahead. That
effort resulted in a measure that
would restrict any work on the
bridge without voter approval
which passed handily in the last
election.
While the council seems to have
learned from the experience and
respects the will of the people, it
reveals a certain need on the coun-
cil for a different perspective.
Former councilwoman Deborah
Ruddock, who helped lead the
campaign for Measure F, would
provide the council with that per-
spective. Ruddock knows what
she is talking about and has her
nger on the pulse of both the
people of Half Moon Bay and
other interested parties that can
assist. She is also forward in her
thinking when it comes to trafc
and development while deeply
understanding the importance of
maintaining the qualities that
make Half Moon Bay unique and
interesting. She looks at trafc
from a holistic and comprehen-
sive approach and will seek to
provide ways for all to work
together through unique ideas like
shuttles that might preclude the
need for simply just widening
roads. By looking at key proper-
ties both downtown and near it for
housing opportunities, Ruddock
sees ways to increase opportuni-
ties for young people to both stay
and come to the city without bur-
dening its roads. She has a sharp
eye for details and will bring a
watchful and engaging personali-
ty to the council.
With that in mind, the other
challengers to the two incum-
bents, Allan Alifano and Rick
Kowalczyk, also bring up sub-
stantive ideas but their viewpoint
would be best represented by
Ruddock on the council. Alifano
and Kowalczyk have proven to be
effective and substantive in their
own right in their time on the
council and have learned from the
Main Street Bridge situation.
Removing them from the council
would be short-sighted and ulti-
mately bad for the city. Both have
good ideas, are immersed in the
job and professional in their
approach to city issues.
Kowalczyk has also expressed a
commitment to reaching out to
the citys growing Latino popula-
tion. The city has made substan-
tial progress in the last four years
under their guidance and has a
bright future ahead with them on
the council.
Ruddock will bring her experi-
ence and know-how to the council
currently heading in the right
direction with Alifano and
Kowalczyk on it. All three deserve
your vote.

(Associated Press article in the
Sept. 30 edition of the Daily
Journal). I support every effort
in relocating the cormorant
community from their current,
soon-to-be-demolished neigh-
borhood on the old span of the
Bay Bridge.
I have a difficult time under-
standing how it could cost $30
million, however. Of this, $17.1
million is to deal directly with
the bird problem, with $12.1
million to speed up demolition
ahead of next springs nesting
season. Officials found 533
cormorant nests this year.
Typically, double-crested cor-
morants lay three or four eggs
(Cornell University). With an
average, on the high end, of six
birds per nest, this equates to a
cost of $5,347 to relocate each
cormorant. iFLYBUSINESS is
quoting a British Airways one-
way business class fare to
London from SFO for $2,633,
yet these cormorants are not
even relocating to another ZIP
code.
What really takes the biscuit
is that another $1 million dol-
lars was spent trying to lure
them with bird decoys, cor-
morant recordings and nests
made from discarded Christmas
wreaths.
All I can say is that I hope the
cormorant community is appre-
ciative of the hands-on assis-
tance they will receive, coupled
with the fact that officials have
spent $709,000 to build nesting
condos for them, thus elimi-
nating the hassle of moving,
which we all loath.

Learning from previous
mistakes in the Middle East
Editor,
There is little doubt that
President Obamas decision to
go to war was largely driven by
domestic politics. He has been
stung repeatedly by the war
hawks, McCain, Graham and
Feinstein who have portrayed
him as weak and indecisive.
Former President Bushs play-
book is being used to justify the
war.
The shock and awe bombing
campaign has begun with notable
civilian casualties. The coalition
of the unwilling have been cob-
bled together, made up of a few
Arab countries, many of which
have been funding the Islamic
State rebels. Billions of dollars
will be spent on training and
arming rebel forces whose loyal-
ties change from passing day.
Historian Alastair Cooke
described moderate insurgents
as rarer than a mythical uni-
corn. Sponsors of radical
jihadists are going to train mod-
erate jihadists. The so-called
rebels are mercenaries who
come from over 20 countries.
They constantly organize and
reorganize into new groups with
allegiances driven by whoever is
paying them or supplying them
with arms at any given moment.
The United States has supplied
weapons to the Iraqi government
and to Syrian rebels which have
ended up in the hands of the
Islamic State.
The dj vu bombing has begun
and the associated fear campaign
which worked so well in the 2003
invasion of Iraq is being used
again to justify the war that has
been falsely promoted as a count-
er-terrorism exercise to bypass
congressional approval. Oh
America, will we ever learn from
our mistakes?

NEW YORK The stock market
sputtered to an indecisive close
Thursday, taking a pause after three
straight days of losses.
Small company stocks, which have
slumped 10 percent from their early-
July peak into whats known as a cor-
rection, recovered the most.
Thursdays pause followed what has
been tough spell for the market,
including the Dow Jones industrial
averages 238-point drop Wednesday
and a weak September. The buying may
have reected people stepping into the
market to take advantage of the recent
declines, a trend of buying on the dip
that has kept the market rising all year
despite various geopolitical shocks
and worries about Europes agging
economy.
Stocks had been sharply lower most
of the day, only to recover in the last
couple of hours of trading. The Dow
had been down as much as 130 points.
People have been waiting a long
time to get back in, and I think (the
declines in September) created an entry
point for the cash on the sidelines to
start buying again, said Aaron Jett, an
equity strategist at Bel-Air Investment
Advisors, which focuses on investing
for high net-worth individuals.
The Standard & Poors 500 index was
effectively unchanged on the day, ris-
ing one one-hundredth of a point to
close at 1,946.17. Technically, the
S&P 500s ever-so-slight gain let it
avoid a fourth straight day of declines,
which would have been the rst time
that has happened since December
2013.
The Dow fell 3.66 points, or 0.02
percent, to 16,801.05 and the Nasdaq
composite rose 8.11 points, or 0.2
percent, to 4,430.19.
The Russell 2000 index, which
tracks small-company stocks, gained
1 percent, far more than the S&P 500
and the Dow. The Russell entered into
whats known as a correction on
Wednesday, which is when a stock
index falls 10 percent or more for a
recent high.
People are willing to dip their toes
back in, Jett said.
The price of crude oil and energy
stocks, which had also been through a
rough patch, recovered as well.
Oil had slumped earlier in the day,
helping to drag energy and other
stocks lower, but ended up recovering
all of its losses by the close of trading.
Benchmark U.S. crude oil rose 28
cents to $91.01 a barrel in New York.
It fell to $88.18 at one point, its low-
est level since April of 2013.
Oil had been on multi-week slide
after OPEC announced it would keep
oil production at its current levels
despite a weakening global economy
and a glut in world oil supplies. Lower
oil prices are by and large good for the
average U.S. consumer because it
translates into lower gas prices. But
lower oil prices also hurt the prof-
itability of energy companies, which
make up a large part of the U.S. stock
market.
Airline stocks also made a modest
recovery after sliding Wednesday.
United Continental rose 66 cents, or
1.5 percent, to $46.13, Delta Air Lines
was up 38 cents, or 1 percent, to
$35.28 and Jet Blue rose 34 cents, or 3
percent, to $10.59. The airlines got
beaten down Wednesday on fears that
the news of the rst diagnosed case of
Ebola in the U.S. might curtail demand
for travel.
Conrmation of a case of Ebola in
the U.S. has joined a growing list of
bad news stories with geopolitical ten-
sions in Ukraine and Hong Kong, and
growth concerns around China and
Europe, said Niall King of CMC
Markets in a commentary.
Even with the modest gains, the gen-
eral direction of the U.S. market in
recent weeks has lower. The biggest
point of concern for investors has
been Europe, and once again, those
concerns ared up on Thursday.

WASHINGTON Orders to U.S. factories
fell in August by the largest amount on
record, but the drop was heavily weighed by
an expected plunge in volatile aircraft
orders.
A key category that tracks business
investment plans posted a small increase,
offering an encouraging sign that factory
production will sustain momentum in the
second half of this year.
Orders declined 10.1 percent in August
after a record increase of 10.5 percent in
July, the Commerce Department reported
Thursday. Both months were affected by
swings in demand for commercial aircraft,
which soared in July only to plummet in
August.
Core capital goods, a category seen as a
proxy for business investment, managed to
rise a slight 0.4 percent in August after a
0.1 percent July dip.
Economists expect businesses to boost
spending as they expand and modernize
their operations. Business investment was
a key source of strength in the second quar-
ter.
Orders for durable goods, items expected
to last at least three years, fell a record 18.4
percent in August. The gure reected a
74.3 percent drop in demand for commer-
cial aircraft. Orders for motor vehicles and
parts dropped 5.4 percent, but that weak-
ness was expected to be temporary given
the robust sales automakers are experienc-
ing this year.
Orders for non-durable goods, items such
as chemicals, clothing and food, edged
down 0.4 percent in August following a 0.8
percent July decline.
Excluding transportation, orders would
have edged down a tiny 0.1 percent in
August. Demand for primary metals such as
steel dropped 1.3 percent, while orders for
machinery managed a 0.9 percent increase.
Orders for computers dropped 15.2 percent,
but demand for electrical appliances rose 2
percent.
On Wednesday, the Institute for Supply
Management reported that its closely
watched barometer of manufacturing per-
formance fell to 56.6 in September from 59
in August. Analysts saw the slowdown as
consistent with a recent drop-off in global
demand and a rise in the value of the dollar,
which makes American goods more expen-
sive overseas.
Still, many economists believe manufac-
turing has enough momentum to keep the
economy growing at a healthy rate above 3
percent in the second half of this year.
The economy has been on a roller coaster
so far this year. Gross domestic product
contracted at an annual rate of 2.1 percent
in the rst quarter, the result of a harsh win-
ter that curtailed economic activity. Then
pent-up demand by consumers and busi-
nesses drove growth to a rapid rate of 4.6
percent in the April-June quarter.
Many economists are looking for more
uniformity in the second half of the year,
forecasting a rate above 3 percent for both
the third quarter and the October-December
period. That would be a marked improve-
ment from the sub-par growth rates of
around 2 percent that have been logged dur-
ing the rst ve years of recovery from the
worst recession since the 1930s.

OMAHA, Neb. Warren Buffett is
getting into the automobile sales busi-
ness.
The billionaires Berkshire
Hathaway, owner of businesses rang-
ing from the BNSF railroad to Dairy
Queen, Geico insurance and power

owned auto dealership company Van
Tuyl Group. Financial terms were not
disclosed.
Van Tuyl Group says it is the biggest

in the U.S. It has 78 independently
operated dealerships and more than
100 franchises in 10 states. The com-
pany will be renamed Berkshire
Hathaway Automotive and be based in

JPMorgan says data breach
affected 76M households

compromised customer information
for about 76 million households and 7
million small businesses.
The New York-based bank said
Thursday that customer information
including names, addresses, phone
numbers and email addresses were
stolen in the cyberattack.
However, JPMorgan says theres no
evidence that the data breach included

research guidelines
NEWYORK Facebook has tight-

uproar over its disclosure this summer
that it allowed researchers to manipu-

could be changed.
At issue was study in which
Facebook allowed researchers to
manipulate the content that appeared
in the main section, or news feed, of
small fraction of the social networks
users. During the weeklong study in
January 2012, data-scientists were try-

thesis that peoples moods could
spread like an emotional contagion
depending on what they were reading.

Youd think water sports would be a given
at Half Moon Bay High School, with the
campus located within walking distance of
the largest body of water on the planet.
Not so.
In over 10 years of Cougars water polo,
the program had never won a Peninsula
Athletic League Bay Division game until
Wednesday. Half Moon Bay scored a pair of
historic wins at Sequoia, as each the varsity
boys and girls varsity teams earned the rst
PAL Bay Division victories in school his-
tory.
Half Moon Bays girls triumphed 9-4
prior to the boys edging the Cherokees 16-
13 in the nightcap.
Half Moon Bays third-year athletic direc-
tor Justin Ferdinand serves as head coach for
both teams. The Cougars have traditionally
played in the PAL Ocean Division. They
each advanced to the Bay Division this year
for just the second season in program histo-
ry. They previously played in the Bay
Division in 2008, but both teams went win-
less in league that season.
I coach because I love it, Ferdinand
said. Im very passionate about the sport. I
never like to pat myself on the back, but it
denitely felt good for me knowing where
this team has been. Were a small school.
We have a shallow pool. Weve never been
known for our aquatics. We have surfers, but
were not a Menlo or Menlo-Atherton that
plays that upper level of water polo. So,
to feel that level of excitement felt good.
In fact, Half Moon Bays swimming pool
is so shallow swimmers can walk on
both ends Ferdinand arranged to play all
the teams games on the road this year, as
not to subject other Bay Division team to
enduring the pools cramped quarters.
We have a pool thats not conducive to
playing water polo, Ferdinand said. So,

Aragon volleyball was not happy about
being demoted to the Peninsula Athletic
League Ocean Division this season, and the
Dons played like it in Thursdays convinc-
ing sweep of Mills.
The Dons (4-0 in PAL Ocean, 17-2 over-
all) kept their undefeated Ocean Division
record in tact with a 25-13, 25-15, 25-22
win over Mills (3-1, 9-5). Whats more,
Aragon by commanding the net with 11
team blocks and keeping its offense in sys-
tem throughout won with all the charac-
teristics of a Bay Division team.
For the Dons, this seasons mission it to
prove they are an A-league team. Its a mis-
sion Aragon head coach Kelsey Stiles
insists upon.
The girls want to make a statement,
Stiles said. They push each other. They
want to win and they want to win very
well.
With just four seniors in the mix, Aragon
is not only looking to return to the Bay
Division next year, but ourish there. And
with the promising play of junior Anna
Joshi and sophomore Mel Moore, the Dons
have the potential to do just that.
Joshi came out blazing at net Thursday,
tabbing four of her six match kills in Game
1. Moore was the star of the match though,
totaling a match-high 13 kills.
Moore who played for the prestigious
Vision 15-and-under team which nished
15th overall at junior nationals last season
is a force as a six-rotation player, and
showed her agility in Game 3 with back-to-
back blocks on the same play; the sopho-
more tabbed one block to deny Mills far-
left attack then pivoted to the opposite
antenna to slam a block home to give the
Dons a 16-12 lead. She totaled four blocks
in the match.
She breathes volleyball all day long,
Stiles said. She loves it. She loves to be
challenged. She doesnt want anything
given to her. She wants to work hard to get
it. Her mentality is different than some of
the other players. So, she brings some-
thing special to the court.
As bold as her play is on the court, Moore
is quite reserved off the court. And despite
Aragon, Mills enter match undefeated, Dons exit with win

Capuchino running back David Ortega, who rushed for roughly 160 yards in a 45-6 win over
Washington-SF last week,needs a similar performance today if the Mustangs are to beat Aragon.
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
When a dangerous underdog takes on a heavy
favorite, its usually referred to as a trap game
a matchup that could go against everyones
expectations if the favorite is not on top of its
game.
The Capuchino-Aragon game at 3 p.m.
Friday in San Mateo would be a trap game if
Aragon coach Steve Sell wasnt so worried
about the Mustangs.
I dont think were foolish enough to look
past them, Sell said. Ive seen their last two
games (on video) and theyre very impressive.
They have some Bay-caliber players on their
team.
Capuchino coach Ben White may not agree
with that assessment. He cant afford to. Hes
trying to rebuild the Mustangs after struggling
through a 1-9 2013 campaign. White is
Capuchinos third coach in three years and hes
just trying to make the Mustangs competitive.
So far, so good. With a 45-6 win over
Washington-San Francisco last week, the
Mustangs are 2-2 on the season.
But White is not going to get too high over
beating a team that is 0-4 and averaging only
10 points per game.
[We] havent blown out a team in a couple
years. Whens the last time Cap was on that
side, winning by that much?, White said. It
was a good feeling, but we also have to realize
who the competition was and we have to keep
getting better.
Were denitely getting better.
Which is what scares Sell.
Ben White is a winning coach. Bens won
everywhere hes gone, Sell said. I guarantee
those kids (at Cap) think they can win. He has
turned that program around in the sense theyve
won a couple games and they believe in them-
selves.
They have some athletes who can make
plays.
The Mustangs put together a total team effort
in the win last week. After relying on the legs
and arm of quarterback Tony Pellegrini the rst
three weeks, he nally got some help. Running
back David Ortega rushed for nearly 160 yards
last week, which is the progress White wants to

WASHINGTON The San Francisco
Giants and Washington Nationals both
missed the postseason last year. Thats pret-
ty much where the similarities end heading
into Fridays NL Division Series opener.
Bruce Bochy has managed the Giants to
two of the past four World Series champi-
onships. Nationals skipper Matt Williams
is about to lead a team in the playoffs for the
rst time.
The Giants have won eight consecutive
postseason games, including an 8-0 wild-
card victory at Pittsburgh on Wednesday
night.
The NLEast champion Nationals, most of
whom have never won a playoff series,
spent Wednesday at their home ballpark
playing an intrasquad scrimmage between
groups they dubbed The Face-Eaters a
reference to Jayson Werths 2013 comment
about showing up for a game ready to eat
somebodys face and Team Alpha.
It was dressed up to look and sound like
the real thing: Fake crowd noise was piped
in; videos were shown on the scoreboard;
the game-day PAannouncer introduced play-
ers; rookie reliever Aaron Barrett even sang
the national anthem.
All in all, it was good camaraderie and
good competition and got the juices ow-
ing a little bit, which is what was needed,
reliever Tyler Clippard said, referring to the
four-day break the Nationals will have had
between Sundays regular-season nale and
the series start. It was a game situation. We
in this clubhouse are very competitive peo-
ple, and want to beat each other just as bad
as we want to beat everybody else.
First baseman Adam LaRoche joked the
Giants condence is up because of their
win against the Pirates, but we just had a
big intrasquad yesterday, so our condence
is up, too.

Burlingame 4, San Mateo 3
The Bearcats had been the surprise of the
Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division
this season, entering Thursdays match in a
second-place tie with Carlmont.
With the Panthers win, however, San
Mateo (4-2 PAL Bay) falls into fourth place
in the standings, percentage points behind
now third-place Burlingame (5-2).
LIndsey Schloetter earned the fourth point
for Burlingame at No. 3 singles, needing
three sets to dispatch Tessa Chou, 6-3, 5-7,
6-4.
Burlingame ended up winning three of the
four singles match and the No. 2 doubles
match, where Sara Arfania and Haley Shaffer
needed three sets, including a third-set
tiebreaker, to get past San Mateos Lindsey
Pantuso and Maggie Dong, 6-2, 4-6, 7-6 (7-
4).
Aragon 6, Hillsdale 1
Other than a win from Hillsdales No. 1
singles player Mariko Iinuma, the Dons had
an easy time beating the Knights.
Iinuma won her match in straight sets at
love, but Aragon answered by winning all
six matches without dropping a set.
Sagricka Jawadi won her match at No. 2
singles 6-1, 6-0, while the No. 3 doubles
team of Cami Nemschoff and Jenna
Constanino won 6-0, 6-0. Magali de
Sauvage and Jessica Westmont were pushed
in the rst set of their No. 2 doubles match
by Cynthia and Jamie Zhang, winning the
nal two games of the set to prevail 7-5.
The Aragon duo then blitzed them in the sec-

Mills 6, Capuchino 1
The Vikings bounced back from a disap-
pointing defeat to Half Moon Bay Tuesday
with an emphatic victory over the
Mustangs.
Mills No. 1 and No. 2 singles players
Ivy Zhou and Sally Zhou, respectively
won their matches by identical scores, 6-2,
6-1. Aileen Cristo had a tougher time at No.
3 singles for Mills. She won the rst set
over Rachel Ibarbia 6-3, but Ibarbia did not
go quietly, forcing a second-set tiebreaker
before succumbing.
The Vikings No. 3 doubles team of Elena
Wong and Michelle Au-yeung lost only two
games in a 6-2, 6-0 win over Vanessa
Chavez and Najla Dabbagh.
Capuchino got its lone win at No. 4 sin-
gles, where Sierra Miller topped Stella
Zhou, 6-4, 7-5.
Menlo-Atherton 7, Woodside 0
The Bears just keep winning.
Two days after beating then-unbeaten
Carlmont, there was no let down for M-A(7-
0 PAL Bay) as they cruised to the win over
the Wildcats, without even playing its best
lineup.
Sami Andrew moved into the No. 1 sin-
gles spot, subbing for Laney Van Linge, and
the Bears did not skip a beat as Andrew won
6-4, 6-1. Taylor Noble, who played at No. 1
doubles for M-A Tuesday, showed she can
play well by herself as well, winning the
No. 4 singles match 6-2, 6-0. Julia Chang
was just as dominant at No. 3 singles, win-
ning her match 6-0, 6-3.
The Bears No. 2 double duo of Sarah
Tiemann and Beata Brenner lost only one
game, while Ashley Wall and Libby Kirk,
playing at No. 3 doubles, dropped only four
games two in each set of a two-set
sweep.

Local sports roundup
SANTA CLARA San Franciscos once-
dominant defense is beginning to rediscover
the swagger that has dened this unit in recent
years.
Second-year safety Eric Reid and several of
his defensive teammates were thrilled with the
way they kept Philadelphia quarterback Nick
Foles from beating them last week. The Eagles
didnt even get past mideld until the closing
minutes of the 26-21 victory by the 49ers, and
San Francisco did it without a single penalty on
the defensive side.
The 49ers (2-2) realize if they are unable
repeat such an effort against Alex Smith and the
Chiefs (2-2) this Sunday, last week will all be
for naught.
This one doesnt mean anything if we dont
get another win next week, Reid said. It was
huge. We needed a win, we needed it to kickstart
our season.
San Francisco had given up costly plays in
the passing game while losing to Chicago in
Week 2, then experienced problems stopping
the run in a defeat at Arizona the following
week.
The 49ers defense held the Eagles to 213 total
yards, including just 22 rushing, for the lowest
total under Philadelphia coach Chip Kelly.
San Francisco features the NFCs top run
defense with 69.8 yards allowed, and second-
best in the NFL behind the Jets (63.3). The
Niners have surrendered only 152 yards rushing
in their past three games, fewest by the team
over a three-game stretch since 1997.
On Sunday, the Chiefs present another chal-
lenge altogether with a talented, two-headed
running back tandem in All-Pro Jamaal Charles
and the guy who has emerged as a perfect com-
plement, Knile Davis. Charles scored three
touchdowns in Monday nights rout of the
Patriots, two of those TD receptions.

SPORTS 13

BALTIMORE The way Nelson Cruz and
the Baltimore Orioles are hitting this sea-
son, it may not matter much who pitches for
the other guys.
Cruz and J.J. Hardy homered, and the
Orioles hammered out 12 hits in defeating
Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer and
the Detroit Tigers 12-3 Thursday in the
opener of their AL Division Series.
Jonathan Schoop and Alejandro De Aza
each had two hits and two RBIs for the
Orioles, who turned a close game into a rout
with an eight-run eighth inning against
Scherzer and three ineffective relievers.
The 12 runs set a postseason record for
Baltimore, making its second playoff
appearance since 1997.
Game 2 of the best-of-ve series is Friday
at Camden Yards. Justin Verlander, the sec-
ond of three straight Cy Young winners the
Orioles will face, is set to go against left-
hander Wei-Yin Chen.
Verlander must avoid the mistakes made
by Scherzer, who allowed five runs and
seven hits in 7 1-3 innings. The right-han-
der was 18-5 during the regular season, but
in this one he was burned by the long ball
and outpitched by the Orioles.
I just left too many pitches up, Scherzer
said. This is a great-hitting ballclub. You
give them a chance to extend their arms,
they can really hit it. Ive got to nd a way
to get the ball down. I wasnt quite able to
do that tonight, and I paid for it.
Cruz led the majors with 40 homers during
the regular season, a good portion of
Baltimores big league-best 211 long balls.
His rst-inning drive off Scherzer put the
Orioles up 2-0 before Detroits Victor
Martinez and J.D. Martinez connected off
winner Chris Tillman in the second to tie it.
But Baltimore had too much repower for
the Tigers. Hardy homered leading off the
seventh for a 4-2 lead, and Cruz added his
third RBI with a single during a wild eighth
inning keyed by a Detroit error that kept the
boisterous, orange-clad crowd of 47,842 on
its feet.
The one that stings is that J.J. Hardy
home run, Scherzer said. That home run
really changed the game in my eyes, gave
them that insurance run. It was too good of
a pitch for him, and hes a great hitter and so
he put a great swing on it and hit it out of
the ballpark.
Tillman (1-0) allowed two runs in ve
innings before Andrew Miller got ve outs
three by strikeout. Darren ODay gave up
an eighth-inning homer to Miguel Cabrera,
but the drive followed a double play.
Baltimore manager Buck Showalter then
called upon closer Zach Britton, who had 37
saves during the regular season. Britton got
the last out in the eighth, and by the time
the ninth inning rolled around, he wasnt
needed anymore.
Miller had a 1.35 ERA in 23 games with
Baltimore, ODay finished at 1.70 and
Britton closed at 1.65. Thats one big rea-
son why the ALEast-champion Orioles were
80-4 when leading after eight innings.
Meanwhile, Detroits revamped bullpen
has looked shaky although it was short-
stop Andrew Romines error that got the big
eighth inning going.

ANAHEIM Mike Moustakas homered
leading off the 11th inning, and the Kansas
City Royals kept rolling in their rst post-
season in 29 years with a 3-2 victory over
the Los Angeles Angels in the AL Division
Series opener Thursday night.
Moustakas hit the rst extra-inning homer
in postseason history for the Royals, a high
shot off Fernando Salas that barely reached the
elevated right-eld stands at Angel Stadium.
Alcides Escobar had an early RBI double for
the Royals, and their bullpen repeatedly
escaped trouble in Kansas Citys rst game
since that spectacular, 12-inning comeback
victory over Oakland in the wild-card playoff
Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium.
Game 2 in the best-of-ve series is Friday
night at the Big A, with Angels 16-game win-
ner Matt Shoemaker taking on fellow rookie
Yordano Ventura.
Chris Iannetta and David Freese homered
early in the Angels rst playoff game since
2009, but the majorsmost productive offense
stranded eight runners in the ve innings
before Greg Hollands perfect 11th.
Winning pitcher Danny Duffy worked the
10th for Kansas City, and Holland picked up
the save after arriving at the ballpark around the
fourth inning. He went to North Carolina on
the Royals off day to attend his childs birth.
Mike Trout was 0 for 4 with a walk in his
playoff debut. The favorite for AL MVP
grounded into a elders choice in the 10th
before Albert Pujols popped out to end his 0-
for-4 Angels playoff debut. Josh Hamilton
popped out to end the game, capping his 0-
for-5 return to the lineup.
Jered Weaver, Joe Smith and Huston Street
combined to retire Kansas Citys nal 15 bat-
ters before extra innings and thats when
the Royals went to work. Kevin Jepsen let
two runners on in the 10th, but retired
Salvador Perez and Omar Infante to escape.
Salas wasnt as lucky, giving up a homer to
the RoyalsNo. 9 hitter. Moustakas grew up in
the San Fernando Valley and played at UCLA
before making his big league debut and hit-
ting his rst homer at the Big Ain 2011.
A raucous crowd banged balloons and
cheered on the Angels throughout their post-
season return after a half-decade away, but the
fans got tense while the teams managed just
three hits apiece in the rst nine innings. Los
Angeles earned home-eld advantage through-
out the postseason with a big league-best 98-
64 record in the regular season, winning the
ALWest while scoring 773 runs.

SPORTS 14
Soquel (2-1) vs. Menlo School (2-2)
at Sequoia, 7 p.m. Friday
Soquel slipped past Seaside, 7-0.
Menlo was mauled 47-13 by Half Moon
Bay. Soquel is averaging 20 points per
game on offense, while allowing 24. But
throw out the 61 points Monterey hung on
it two weeks ago and Soquel has allowed a
total of 13 points in its two wins. Menlo
surrendered 40 or more points for the second
straight week as it has lost two straight.
Offensively, Menlo has struggled. Throw
out a 68-8 pasting of Mission-SF three
weeks ago and Menlo is averaging just 16
points in its other three games. While
QB Austin DAmbra threw for 250 yards last
week, Menlo managed just 18 yards rushing
on just eight carries.
Serra (1-2) at
Valley Christian (2-1), 7:30 p.m. Friday
The Padres are coming off a bye. They
pummeled South City two weeks ago, 50-0.
The Warriors were whipped by Milpitas,
31-17. Many experts predicted these
teams will battle it out for the West Catholic
Athletic League title and while some may
think the crown will be determined by who
wins this game, neither coach would go
along with that. The WCAL league schedule
is a war of attrition. Serras offense is as
balanced as its ever been under coach
Patrick Walsh. The Padres are averaging 118
yards rushing and 115 yards passing per
game. The Padres are still a week away
from getting the services of QB Hunter
Bishop, who had to sit out the rst ve
weeks of the season after transferring from
St. Francis. Sophomore QB Leki Nunn has
lled in admirably, but his lack of experi-
ence at the position shows as hes thrown
nine interceptions to just three TDs.
Valley Christian has thrown the ball only
27 times in three games, but QB Michael
Machado has thrown four TD passes.
Warriors RB Kirk Johnson is averaging 140
yards rushing per game this season.
Kings Academy (2-1) at
Calvary Murrieta-(3-1), 7 p.m. Friday
The Knights succumbed to Sacred Heart
Prep, 35-21. The Warriors walloped
California School for the Deaf-Riverside,
47-14. Kings Academys offensive out-
put has declined in each game this season.
After racking up 470 yards and nearly 50
points in a win over San Jose, the Knights
had 28 points and 264 yards of offense in a
win over Scotts Valley two weeks ago. Last
week, SHP held them to 21 points and 199
yards of offense. Calvary Murrieta has
won two straight games. The Warriors are
averaging 329 yards of offense and 32
points per game.
Woodside at
Sacred Heart Prep (4-0), 3:30 Saturday
The Wildcats whimpered home with a 22-
12 loss to Fremont-Sunnyvale. The
Gators gobbled up Kings Academy, 35-21.
Woodside averaged 30 points in its rst
two games this season. QB Robert Wang
was held to just 68 yards passing last week,
although he did lead the team in rushing
with 75 yards and a touchdown on just four
carries. SHP rolled up 350 yards of
offense last week. QB Mason Randall threw
for 110 yards on just six completions,
while RB Lapitu Mahoni had 98 of the
Gators 210 rushing yards.
Mills (4-0) at
Hillsdale (2-2), 7 p.m. Saturday
The Vikings vanquished Yerba Buena, 35-
17. The Knights were knocked down by
Christopher-Gilroy, 16-0. These teams
have played each other 12 times in the last
13 years. Mills won the matchup seven
straight times from 2001 to 2008 (except
for 2002, when they were in two different
divisions). Hillsdale has owned the
matchup since, having won the last ve
meetings, including a 27-7 victory last sea-
son. In the last ve games, Hillsdale has
outscored Mills 170-31. Mills is averag-
ing 40 points per game this season, while
allowing just 16. Hillsdale was shut out
for the rst time in nearly two years last
week. The last time the Knights failed to
score was during a 28-0 loss to El Camino
Oct. 5, 2012.

SMDJ football rankings
see, knowing his team has to be more than a
one-man show to be successful.
Were growing as a team. The defense is get-
ting a little better. The offensive line is start-
ing to block a little better. It wasnt my
quarterback doing everything, White said.
Theyre just getting comfortable in the
offense. This is a whole new system for them.
In order to beat any good teams, we cant
rely on just one guy. It was nice to see other
guys score some touchdowns and do some
good things (last week).
The Mustangs, however, will be facing an
Aragon team that is undefeated (4-0) and has
buried teams early. The Dons are averaging 30
points a game on offense and have allowed a
total of 14 points defensively, pitching two
shutouts in the process, including a 41-0 beat-
down of Scotts Valley last week. They have
used the big play on offense and defense
to stun the opposition.
It is those big plays Capuchino has to avoid.
You hope the rst time No. 7 (Tyee
Stockman) touches the ball, he doesnt go 80
yards, White said.
The Mustangs as well as the Dons also
have to avoid making the costly mistake and
that is where the teamsseasons have diverged.
Against Lincoln (two weeks ago), we
played a mistake-free rst half and it was 28-7.
We played mistake free in the rst half (last
week) and it was 41-0, Sell said.
For White, that hasnt always been the case
this season and it shows in Capuchinos
record. In the Mustangstwo wins, they played
relatively mistake-free football.
In their other two games?
In the two losses, weve been in the game,
but we shot ourselves in the foot, White said.
Go back to the Burlingame game (a 33-14
loss in Week 1). Take back a couple of big
plays and it was 14-7 going into the fourth
quarter. Against Hillsdale (a 21-7 loss two
weeks ago), they had only 165 total yards. We
got into the red zone ve times and scored only
once.
On paper, the advantage obviously leans
toward Aragon. The Dons are big and fast, have
shown a propensity for the big play and are an
established, successful program.
Everything Capuchino would like to emu-
late. But every journey starts with a rst step
and while the Mustangs have stumbled a cou-
ple times this season, they keep marching for-
ward.
We just cant give them easy scores. Lets
not give up touchdowns the rst two drives
they have the ball, White said. Lets try to
keep it close and see what happens.

water polo for a long time, I
thought it would be doing the
sport a disservice to try and play
(Bay Division) matches in our
pool.
Ferdinand has been around the
sport since he was a rst-team, all-
league 2-meter at California High
School. He went on to earn all-
academic first-team honors at
Chaminade University in Hawaii.
His coaching career began in
southern California, where he
coached the Mission Viejo girls
varsity team from 2001-08 and
also coached the Aliso Niguel
boys team from 2003-10.
Ferdinand employed some veter-
an coaching savvy Wednesday by
not informing either team of the
historical significance of the
girls win immediately following
the first match. After the boys
sealed the victory though,
Ferdinand made the announce-
ment, to which the team celebrated
but didnt over-celebrate,
according to Ferdinand with
plenty of smiles and high ves.
I think I didnt tell them until
after of the historical signicant
because I wanted them to just go
out and play, Ferdinand said. But
I think there was an increased
level of excitement based on the
historical context.
In the girls 9-4 victory, six dif-
ferent Cougars scored goals. Ellie
Henretty led the offense with three
goals; Fiona and Sarah Stretch had
two goals apiece; and Molly
Pomeroy and Allyson Osgood had
one each. Goalkeeper Sarah
OKeefe totaled 11 saves.
We played one of our better
games this year, Ferdinand said.
We pretty much controlled both
ends of the pool offensively and
defensively.
In the boys 16-13 victory, the
Cougars led the entire way. They
went into halftime leading 10-4.
Malcolm Seix and Mike Tyler
paced the offense with four goals
apiece; Jackson Crane had three
goals; Garrett Kim had two; and
Ian Goldback and Brenden
Garrison had one goal apiece.
First-year goalie Michael
Provencio tabbed seven saves.
The Half Moon Bay girls record
improves to 1-2 in league and 5-7
overall. The boys record is 1-1 in
league and 7-2 overall. The boys
travel to the Sobrato Tournament
in Morgan Hill Saturday. Both
teams return to PAL Bay Division
action next Wednesday at
Carlmont.

SANTA CLARA The excite-
ment is palpable, the tickets are
nearly all sold and the stadium is a
technological marvel.
NHL Commissioner Gary
Bettman only needs one more
thing for the leagues second out-
door game ever in California on
Feb. 21 when the San Jose Sharks
host the Los Angeles Kings at the
$1.3 billion Levis Stadium to
be a success.
Were going to need it about 40
degrees cooler on the day of the
game, Bettman told San
Francisco 49ers owner Jed York at
a news conference Thursday pro-
moting the matchup.
Bettman spoke on a day when
the temperature was right around
90 degrees, obviously not ideal
conditions for a hockey game. But
as long as theres no rain storm,
Bettman is condent the ice will
hold up just ne in February after
watching the success of last sea-
sons outdoor game between the
Kings and Anaheim Ducks at
Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.
As soon as we saw what we had
at Dodger Stadium, we knew we
were coming up here, Bettman
said. We knew the Sharks wanted
it and they kept saying, If you can
do it there, you can do it here. As
soon as we saw what an incredible
success that game was, there was
no question we were coming.
Tickets went on sale to the gen-
eral public starting Thursday and
fewer than 5,000 remain, accord-
ing to Sharks chief operating of-
cer John Tortora. Tortora said he
expected to see those sold quickly
and anticipated a capacity crowd of
68,500 for the game.
Outdoor hockey a go
Aragons dominant performance,
the sophomore was critical of her-
self and her team in victory.
I think we made a lot of
unforced errors and we let them
back in the third game, Moore
said. We played alright. It wasnt
one of our better games, but we did
OK. We did enough to win.
Aragon showed quite enough in
Game 1, jumping out to a 10-5 lead
by winning a back-row battle
between Joshi and Mills junior
Claudia Lamb, each of whom
exhibited exceptional digs to pro-
long the rally. The Dons later
forced set point on Moores rst of
four match aces.
In Game 2, Joshi showed off
from the service line, rolling off
seven straight service points,
including four consecutive aces, to
extend a 9-2 lead. Mills generated
some momentum on a four-point
service run by junior setter Emily
Huang. But the back-row play of
Aragon senior Miranda Taylor was
too strong. And Moore ultimately
punctuated the set with a middle-
left kill.
Switching from a 5-1 to a 6-2
offense in Game 3, Aragon relied
on strong service performances by
sophomore setter Regan Castillo
and junior opposite hitter Kaelah
Velisano. Mills nally got junior
outside hitter Adrienne Lee some
consistent sets in Game 3 to make
a run at it. Lee had 11 match kills,
ve of which came in the nal set,
helping the Vikings to close a 24-
17 Aragon lead to 24-22.
Mills also got 22 assists from
Huang, after she totaled 35 assists
in Tuesdays critical sweep of Half
Moon Bay.
I think for the team it was all
about the passing today, Mills
head coach Polly Wiard said. We
werent getting the passes so we
couldnt get the execution to go
where we would have liked it to
go.
Aragon, on the other hand, was
intent on staying in system and
closed out the match with an
impressive pipe shot from junior
Dani Vercelli.
Bottom line, the girls need to
walk into every game and they
need to be mentally tough, Stiles
said. They need to be prepared for
that type of match and they cant
play down to another teams level.
They have to play their game and
thats what theyre here to do.
Making Aragons mission all
the more challenging, libero
Maddie Lee is currently on the
injured list after coming off the
court Saturday during the final
match of Aragons tourney win at
the Irvington Invitational. Stiles
said Lee is cleared to begin prac-
ticing next Monday and will like-
ly return to action next Tuesday
against Jefferson.
In other PAL Ocean Division

SPORTS
Both teams worked out at
Nationals Park on Thursday, and
both managers announced their
starting pitchers for Games 1-3.
Fridays matchup between
Washingtons Stephen Strasburg
and San Franciscos Jake Peavy
pals who sometimes work out
together in San Diego gives one
indication of the gap in experience
the series represents. Strasburg,
held out of the 2012 postseason to
protect his surgically repaired
elbow, will be making his playoff
debut; Peavy will be making his
sixth October start, including as a
member of last seasons World
Series champion Boston Red Sox.
Their catchers are also illustrate
the difference between the teams:
Strasburg will be throwing to
Wilson Ramos, who was injured in
2012 and never has participated in a
playoff game; Peavy will work with
Buster Posey, a member of the
Giants 2010 and 2012 title teams,
along with the 2012 NL MVP win-
ner.
Game 2 will feature Jordan
Zimmermann against Tim Hudson,
and Game 3 will have Doug Fister
against Madison Bumgarner, who
threw a four-hit shutout against
Pittsburgh in San Franciscos sev-
enth consecutive victory in an elim-
ination game.
Once we get to the postseason,
its like a new season for us, said
Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford,
who hit a grand slam Wednesday.
We have plenty of ups and downs
during the regular season, but now
its kind of a new slate for us.
The Giants nished second in the
NL West at 88-74 after going only
41-40 in the second half.
Washington went 53-28 in that
span, and a majors-best 21-9 in its
last 30, to nish 96-66, the NLs
best record.
We may not match up with a lot
of people on paper, Hudson said.
But I think once you get out there
and play, the guts and the heart that
this team has ... gets this team over
the hump a lot of times.
What the Nationals insisted
Thursday is that their trip to the
playoffs in 2012 which ended
with a gut-punch loss in Game 5 of
their NLDS against St. Louis pro-
vided plenty of know-how.
We kind of know what to expect
a little bit more now, said Ryan
Zimmerman, whose injured right leg
seemed ne Thursday as he put in
work in left eld. We went into 12
not really knowing what to expect
and thinking that everything would
be the same. And its not the same.
... Every pitch is so much more
intense. Its just a different feel.
Something the Giants know well.
They have a similar-type club
that we have. ... Guys not necessar-
ily that are the best players, but they
play well together, which is good.
We do the same exact thing,
Clippard said, and I think, you
know, were the better club.

LOS ANGELES By the end
of the original Alien lm, war-
rant officer Ellen Ripley had
been attacked by an android,
stalked by an extraterrestrial and
stranded in space. Thats just the
beginning of the interstellar
mayhem that awaits Ripleys
daughter in Alien: Isolation, a
video game out Tuesday that
aims to pay interactive tribute to
lmmaker Ridley Scotts semi-
nal 1979 sci- horror movie.
Other than a brief ashback,
the game casts players strictly as
Amanda Ripley, who was men-
tioned in a scene from the 1986
sequel Aliens. In Isolation,
Amanda is a matter-of-fact engi-
neer solely focused on tracking
down the ight recorder from
her long-gone mamas ship 15
years after it disappeared.
For us, there was really only
one choice, said the games cre-
ative lead Alistair Hope of the
protagonist. The fact that Ellen
Ripley had this daughter and that
story hadnt really been told was
an amazing opportunity. We
wanted to take this character
who had never been at the fore-
front and put her in the spot-
light.
The game, from British devel-
oper Creative Assembly, mostly
takes place on the recently
decommissioned Sevastopol , a
sprawling space station much
larger than the original lms

Chinese Cuisine
By Jake Coyle
The predominant image throughout David Finchers
films, from the uncovered horrors of Se7en to the
Machiavellian maneuverings of House of Cards, has
been a flashlight beam cutting through the dark.
In his latest, the Gillian Flynn adaptation Gone Girl,
he shines it into the deepest depths of not a serial killers
mind or a schizophrenics madness, but on a far more ter-
rifying psychological minefield: Marriage. In Gone
Girl, Fincher has crafted a portrait of a couple rivaled in
toxicity only by Whos Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and
one with just as much if more subtle roleplaying.
The results are a mixed bag of matrimony mayhem, but
an engrossing, wonderfully wicked one. Despite its per-
spective-shifting, Gone Girl may be too male in its
viewpoint. And the schematic setup of Flynns screenplay
does sap some of its force. But in good times and bad, in
sickness and in health, Gone Girl is delicious suburban
noir.
It begins with Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) caressing the
head of his wife, Amy (Rosamund Pike), and wondering to
himself, What are you thinking? Its the films unsolv-
able mystery: the unknowingness of another, even one
who shares your bed.
On a regular morning in North Carthage, Missouri,
albeit one begun with an early drink of whiskey at Nicks
bar with his bartender twin sister, Margo (an excellent
Carrie Coon as the movies voice of reason), Nick returns
home to find Amy missing and scenes of a struggle. Even
as she cheerfully pledges help, Detective Rhonda Boney
(Kim Dickens) sticks post-it notes around the house,
marking areas of suspicion.
As the investigation turns toward Nick, and the high-
wattage glare of the TV media finds his concern uncon-
vincing, we get an autopsy on the Dunnes marriage. In
flashbacks narrated by Amys journal, she recalls their
fairy tale beginnings and despite earnest intentions to
avoid becoming that couple their gradual dissolution.
Nick is laid off from his magazine writing job. They
move from New York to Missouri to be near his family.
Amy, the cool New York daughter of a publicity-savvy lit-
erary couple who based their bestselling childrens book
series Amazing Amy on her, recoils at her Midwest
McMansion nightmare, finding herself wed to a
videogame-playing frat boy who, after a loveless after-
noon tryst, suggests the Outback for dinner. She seethes:
I drank canned beer and watched Adam Sandler movies,
and an ocean of empathy washes from Nick to her.
This is the mischievous game of the movie, which
hopes to sway your sympathies with each twist in the
story.
Their bland suburban house becomes a prison to Nick,
its windows lit up with the strobe-light flashes of the
swarming media. The manipulation of image, both in pub-
lic opinion and in private relationships, shapes the story,
with Tyler Perry (in a spectacular performance that ought
to, by its own strength, incinerate his Madea costume)
swooping in as the narrative-controlling defense attorney
Tanner Bolt. When Nick pledges the truth will be his
defense, Bolt grins with cynical perfection.
Pike, in the fullest performance of her career, struggles
to make Amy more than an opaque femme fatale. But and
its a big one she does lead the film to its staggering
climax, a blood-curdling sex scene: the movies piece de
resistance, the consummation of its noir nuptials.
Finchers sinister slickness and dimly-lit precision has
sometimes been considered a double-edged sword, a com-
plaint that strikes me as missing the point. Mastery isnt
a negative.
Gone Girl doesnt give the director the material that
the propulsive The Social Network did. But you can feel
him aided by the shadowy cinematography of Jeff
Cronenweth and the creepy score by Trent Reznor and
Atticus Ross moving closer to the disturbed intimacies
of Roman Polanski.
So, despite its imperfections, let us clink our glasses
and throw rice on Gone Girl.
Gone Girl, a 20th Century Fox release, is rated R by
the Motion Picture Association of America for a scene of
bloody violence, some strong sexual content/nudity, and
language. Running time: 145 minutes. Three stars out of
four.

DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
WENDY MARUYAMA: EXECUTIVE
ORDER 9066, AT THE MUSEUM OF
CRAFT AND DESIGN IN SAN FRAN-
CISCO. In 1942, President Franklin D.
Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066,
which resulted in the internment of tens of
thousands of American citizens and resi-
dent aliens of Japanese ancestry. Wendy
Maruyama, a third generation Japanese
American artist and furniture maker based
in San Diego, has created works examin-
ing this period in American history. The
Museum of Craft and Design in San
Francisco is the final stop of Wendy
Maruyama: Executive Order 9066, a travel-
ing exhibition that includes three parts:
the Tag Project, Executive Order 9066 and
a selection of historical artifacts.
The Tag Project consists of 120,000
replicas of the paper identification tags
that internees were forced to wear when
they were being relocated. The tags are
grouped into 10 sculptural bundles and
suspended from the museum ceiling, each
bundle representing one of the camps.
They evoke a powerful sense of the humil-
iation endured by the internees and the
sheer numbers of those displaced.
Executive Order 9066 involves a series of
wall-mounted cabinets and sculptures ref-
erencing themes common in the interment
camps. Maruyamas pieces integrate
photo transfers based on the documentary
photographs of Dorothea Lange and Toyo
Miyatake in conjunction with materials
such as barbed wire, tarpaper and domestic
objects. Displayed suitcases are part of the
loan of actual artifacts from the forced
evacuation. They are original suitcases
and trunks owned and used by the Japanese
Americans to take only what they can
carry to the incarceration centers. These
objects, along with the handmade items,
are on loan from the Japanese American
Historical Society of San Diego.
The Museum of Craft and Design is
located at 2569 Third St. (between 22nd
and 23rd) in the historic American
Industrial Center building, originally
home to American Can Company (1915),
in the heart of San Franciscos Dogpatch
district. Designed by Gary Hutton Design
and McCall Design Group, the 8,500-
square-foot museum incorporates 4,000
square feet of flexible exhibition and pub-
lic programming space, while housing the
Museums office spaces and a converted
loading dock streetfront Museum Store.
Wendy Maruyama: Executive Order 9066 is
on display through Jan. 4, 2015. The
exhibit was organized by the Society of
Arts and Crafts in Boston, Massachusetts,

DONT TOSS IT OUT . . . GET IT
FIXED, AT THE MUSEUM OF AMER-
ICAN HERITAGE IN PALO ALTO.
What do you do when youve got some-
thing you like but it no longer works?
Throw it out and buy a new one? Stick it in
the attic, the basement or under the stairs?
Pay to get it fixed? Fix it yourself?
Chances are you toss it out. Or maybe you
store it away until that magical day when
you can figure out what to do with it.
Right. Consider this: In 1960, each per-
son in the U.S. generated 2.68 pounds of
waste per day. By 2000, the average was
4.65 pounds per day. This is the most in
the world. The Repair Caf Palo Alto gives
you another option. The Repair Caf Palo
Alto is a volunteer-run, community serv-
ice dedicated to encouraging the repair and
reuse of goods rather than relegating them
to landfill. The first Repair Caf was start-
ed in Amsterdam in 2009. Since then,
more than 30 Repair Cafs have sprouted
up in Europe. The Repair Caf Palo Alto is
the first Repair Caf to become opera-
tional in the United States. The next
Repair Caf event is scheduled for Oct. 12
from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Museum of
American Heritage. 351 Homer Ave. Palo
Alto. Look in the back of your closet, pick
something and bring it in!

setting, the space ship Nostromo. The
hubs enclaves, including a medical facili-
ty and a multi-level mall, maintain the
retro-futuristic aesthetic of Alien
right down to bulky computers that whir to
life when theyre turned on.
Unlike previous games based on the
Alien franchise, where alien
xenomorphs and facehuggers served as
cannon fodder, Isolation is strictly a
moody first-person tale of survival. If an
alien spots Amanda as she maneuvers
throughout the space station, theres little
she can do to survive an attack. Instead,
Amanda must create distractions with gadg-
ets and sneak around.
Sigourney Weaver, who played Ellen
Ripley in four Alien films, not only
gave her blessing to the Isolation cre-
ators, but also her likeness and voice, a
first for a game based on the 20th Century
Fox series. She reprises her role as Ripley
in bonus levels that allow players to por-
tray Nostromo crew members as they
explore the doomed ship and attempt to
lure the menacing alien into space.
Im always astonished by the depth of
feeling people have for these movies,
said Weaver. Its wonderful. Im not
always aware of it, but Im always touched
by it. The idea that they would take this
tangent idea, run with it and make an inter-
active game of it, I thought thats cool
because its breaking new ground, not
going over the same old conventions.
While the extraterrestrial species in
Alien has gone on to wreak havoc in
other movies and mediums, Weaver
acknowledged the original saga didnt sat-
isfactorily conclude with 1997s Alien
Resurrection, the fourth film that ended
with Ripleys clone arriving on Earth. (The
original Ripley scarified herself in 1992s
Aliens 3.) Weaver is game for another
extraterrestrial encounter.
Ultimately, we never really nished the
story, she said while promoting the 35th
anniversary release of the original lm on
Blu-ray. That was partially my choice. I
really didnt want to go to Earth and have
the alien pop out of a haystack. I feel that
the story belongs in outer space where no
one should be, but its been an amazing role
to get to come back to every few years.

project that preserves the Main Street
Bridge.
Penro s e: I would have hired engineers
from our city, taxpayers with a vested inter-
est in our downtown to report on the via-
bility of repair and/or replacement and then
offered a ballot measure to the citizens for
their vote. The current council did things
expensively and backwards as they usually
do.
Pre s t os z: The Main Street bridge is a
safety issue. Alicensed engineer will have
to test the structure to determine if it is
unsafe or being undermined and if it can be
repaired or must be replaced.
Rarback: We should have performed a
forensic analysis of the state of the bridge
before hiring consultants to destroy the
bridge. The engineering rm that will do
the analysis now should have no prior con-
nection with the city consultants that had
led us down a questionable path.
Ruddock: Asked questions. Is there a
problem? What is it? What are alternative
solutions and what do they cost? Who does
the problem impact and what are their con-
cerns and ideas? What does the general pub-
lic think? We now need an independent test
and evaluation of the bridges integrity and
safety.
How would you balance promot i ng
economi c devel opment wi t h t he
impacts of tourism and trafc?
Al i f ano: On the weekends, our biggest
issue is the pinch-point that exists about a
mile outside Half Moon Bay on State Route
92. The ower businesses, pumpkin farms
and kid entertainment facilities are creating
a major slowdown of trafc to the coast.
Half Moon Bay needs to work with these
businesses and the county to nd a solution
to eliminate this bottleneck.
Ebl ovi: Half Moon Bay is trafc saturat-
ed nearly every weekend and all through the
months of October and December. Thus
common sense requires that any proposed
development must as a rst step address
mitigating the impact that the additional
trafc will bring to the city.
Kowal czyk: Trafc relief will help pro-
mote economic development and improve
our community. I support implementing
immediate congestion relief measures to
improve trafc ow. Fast relief can come
from added turn lanes, access routes, round-
abouts and public transportation. I also
support bringing back school buses to ease
morning commutes.
Penro s e: I would encourage the promo-
tion of small business in our downtown,
support shuttle busing and increase public
transport. We need school busing and city-
wide carpooling. I would ask our commut-
ing citizens and the parents of school chil-
dren to form a task force to develop these
ideas.
Pre s t os z: Tourists are going to continue
to come to Half Moon Bay. The city and
CalTrans must work together to mitigate
trafc problems.
Rarback: We need to encourage low-
impact commercial development, foster
green energy and maintain the coastside
open areas and trails to encourage tourism.
Ecotourism is another underdeveloped area
which can help the local economy. We need
to listen to the needs of our Main Street
merchants.
Ruddock: Commute congestion would
benet from attracting and keeping new
small to medium-sized businesses and sup-
porting existing ones that employ local
talent. Supporting Main Street, locating
new businesses downtown and nearby,
live/work housing, shuttle service and bike
amenities would make the area more vibrant
for residents and visitors.
Are you i n support of Measure O
and why?
Al i f ano: Yes. Measure O will not only
allow our city to continue funding critical
infrastructure projects but will ll the gap
till our bonds are paid off in the next sever-
al years. Our plan is to use much of Measure
O funds to pay for our portion of our new
library.
Ebl ovi: Nope. Its an absolute scam that
the citys own consultant says cannot pay
for a new library, yet the incumbents bring
up the library and Measure O every chance
they get because it is the one remotely pos-
itive accomplishment that they can point
to. Never mind that their scheme wont
work, it still sounds just great.
Kowal czyk: Yes. Measure O will sub-
stantially fund our new library with nan-
cial contributions from the tourists who
enjoy our community for recreation. It will
place the least burden on residents than any
other option, and it keeps sales tax rates
the same as they are today.
Penro s e: No, the sales tax is regressive.
It costs the poor disproportionally more
than it costs the wealthy. It discourages
business from moving to our coast and that
reduces our tax revenue more than 0.5 per-
cent sales tax would increase them. It also
discourages locals from shopping locally.
Pre s t os z: I will support Measure O only
until the Beachwood bond is retired. After
that, I will only support a dedicated tax for
a specic purpose.
Rarback: I am not in support. Besides
being regressive, the sales tax would drive
business from the city and ultimately be
counterproductive. It doesnt show much
regard for local business if we add yet
another burden to their competitive difcul-
t y. It was passed as an emergency measure
and there is no emergency now.
Ruddock: The council hasnt made a
strong case. They proclaim a financial
emergency on the one hand, and on the
other hand assert we now enjoy full eco-
nomic recovery. This doesnt seem
straightforward to me, and I hear from many
business owners that their input was either
not sought or ignored.

By Michelle Locke
Napa Valley chef Christopher
Kostow started out studying philoso-
phy. At least until he discovered he was
better at most things than he was at
philosophy.
Still, his classes at Hamilton
College in upstate New York werent
time wasted. A thoughtful, disciplined
approach is evident in the inventive,
deceptively simple dishes that have
won him three Michelin stars for his
work at The Restaurant at Meadowood,
located in a lush Napa Valley resort.
Studying philosophy did teach me
to absorb a lot of information with a
critical eye and then use that informa-
tion in a singular and personal man-
ner, he writes in his rst book, A
New Napa Cuisine, coming out this
month. In cooking, with its different
flavor memories and techniques,
whether or not I am successful is driv-
en by my ability to retain this informa-
tion, distill it through my lens.
Beautifully photographed, the book
weaves together recipes, Kostows
evolution as a chef and insights on the
farmers and craftspeople who help cre-
ate the Meadowood dining experience.
Kostow, who had his rst Michelin
star before age 30, and in 2013 was
named top chef in the region by the
James Beard Foundation, cut his teeth
culinarily speaking with a summer job
frying chicken with a cast of characters
that included a guy called Shaky the
Clown.
But after college he moved to
California with the idea of becoming a
chef, getting a job after much persever-
ance at Georges at the Cove in the
coastal community of La Jolla. That
was followed by stints in France, a job
in a San Francisco restaurant and then
the chance to be in charge of the
kitchen at a small restaurant called
Chez TJ in Silicon Valley.
It was here that he got his first
Michelin star, in 2006 when the guide
expanded to include the San Francisco
Bay area.
That was a big moment, says
Kostow. It was very much that rst
afrmation.
Now the holder of three stars at
Meadowood he doesnt look at that as a
burden. Hes more likely to put pressure
on himself if a VIPis coming in or, just
as important, another chef. Then its
Hey, this guys coming in in two
days. Lets get that dish gured out, he
says.
Kostows food is creative, but
grounded in the principle that the
ingredient leads the way, says Tom
Bensel, managing director of the
Culinary Institute of America, also in
St. Helena.
Much of the fresh produce on the
Meadowood menu comes from a garden
run as a joint project with the St.
Helena Montessori School, which has
a small farm across the street from the
resort.
David Duncan, president and CEO of
Silver Oak Cellars and a St. Helena
Montessori parent, has been impressed
by Kostows work with the school.
He is a cool customer. He is beyond
his years in terms of maturity, says
Duncan.
Duncan also recently worked with
Kostow to prepare a 1,000-person din-
ner at the annual Auction Napa Valley
last June. The event was a success, rais-
ing a record $18.7 million for local
charities and the dinner went off well,
too, right down to the 6,000 baby
radishes, baby carrots and baby turnips
that were grown in the restaurant gar-
den.

CPUC illegally intervened in the penalty
case against PG&E for the San Bruno gas
line explosion to secure a more favorable
ruling for PG&E. They said the commission
also engaged in illegal communication with
PG&E regarding rate setting.
Protesters assembled Thursday on Van
Ness Avenue holding signs with slogans
such as #ushPeevey and Peevey Out
Now prior to the commissions meeting.
Peevey, the former president of Edison
Int ernat i onal and i t s subsi di ary
Southern California Edison, was
appointed to the position of CPUC pres-
ident in 2002. His current term expires
at the end of this year and he could be
reappointed to a third six-year term.
Political activist Steve Zeltzer said pro-
testers addressed the commission Thursday
and demanded Peeveys removal, citing his
long record of conicts of interest.
Zeltzer said the commission did not
respond to protesters demands for Peeveys
removal. He said the commission itself has
failed to properly regulate the utility com-
panies actions.
Zeltzer said Peevey hasnt been looking
out for the well-being and needs of
Californians and instead colluded with
privately-owned utility companies.
Zeltzer said he wants to see California cre-
ate a public utility that has the interest of
Californians at its core, rather than private
utilities, which he said put prots above
consumers health and safety.
The call for action comes in the wake of
PG&Es firing of three employees in
September for email conversations with
CPUC officials that discussed assigning
administrative law judges to rate-setting
cases who would be more sympathetic to
PG&Es case.
In July, San Bruno city ofcials obtained
emails between the CPUC and PG&E that
showed CPUC ofcials advised PG&E on
how to handle legal issues and potential
fines stemming from the gas pipeline
explosion.
Peeveys chief of staff, Carol Brown,
resigned for her part in the email
exchanges.
However, CPUC Commissioner Mike
Florio, who communicated with PG&E over
the judge assignment, remains in his post.
PG&E has said the utility took responsi-
bility for the misconduct and expects a ne.
Hill, D-San Mateo, Mullin, D-South San
Francisco, and Ruane publicly signed a let-
ter to Harris calling for an investigation and
delivered it to her ofce in the California
State Building in San Francisco last month.
They expressed a loss of condence in the
CPUC and its president, which they said
they had communicated to Gov. Jerry
Brown.
The emails show a blatant disregard for
the law by PUC commissioners and manage-
ment, Hill said.
Aspokesman from the Attorney Generals
Ofce said Harris received the letter from the
Peninsula politicians, has read it and that
their ofce is in the process of reviewing it,
but declined to comment on the allegations
Thursday.
Protesters also expressed anger at PG&Es
rate increases, as well as concerns over
potential dangers of smart meters, saying
that both are a result of CPUCs lack of
oversight of the utility company.
PROTEST
explosion, in a case that has raised repeated
accusations of cozy relations between the
utility and state regulators.
Thursday was the deadline for appeals of a
California administrative law judge's recom-
mendation last month for the proposed
penalty, which the California Public
Utilities Commission says would be the
biggest safety-related penalty in its history.
The ery explosion of a PG&E pipeline
killed eight people and leveled a San Bruno
neighborhood. Aprobe into the blast by the
National Transportation Safety Board faulted
both the utility and what investigators said
was lax oversight by the state utilities com-
mission.
Utilities commission members still have
to approve or modify the $1.4 billion penal-
t y, which includes a $950 million ne PG&E
would pay into the state's general fund.
PG&E called the penalty excessive. That
sum would bring the eventual total cost
borne by PG&E shareholders in the blast to
more than $4.5 billion, including $2.7 bil-
lion that the utility has spent or plans to
spent to improve safety of the utility's natu-
ral-gas operations, PG&E said in a statement
Thursday.
Email exchanges released since the explo-
sion have shown utility executives and sen-
ior state regulators negotiating and confer-
ring on the state's regulation of PG&E,
including on the proper size for the nancial
penalty in the pipeline explosion.
San Bruno city ofcials led their own
appeal Thursday, asking the state to grant
San Bruno's request for appointment of an
independent monitor to oversee both PG&E
and the utilities commission, on the grounds
that the commission had lost public con-
dence.
In a separate appeal led Thursday, a pub-
lic-utilities commissioner, Catherine
Sandoval, two rate-payers' groups, and the
city and county of San Francisco all objected
to the fact so much of the proposed penalty
would go into the state general fund rather
than pay for pipeline safety.
Two other commissioners commission
chief Michael Peevey, and commission mem-
ber Michael Florio have removed them-
selves from some cases involving PG&E
after release of emails showing their behind-
the-scenes dealings with PG&E ofcials.

that you can keep abreast of opportunities to highlight
your skills and services.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Make the most of what you
have. Whiling away the time hoping Lady Luck will fall
in your lap is not the answer. Hard work, dedication
and persistence are required to advance.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Be tolerant of other
peoples opinions. There is no need to get upset
if things arent done your way. Trying to control
everything will work against you.

soaring through the air.
Weve been educating kids with hands-
on experiences with animals and science
and really hoping to educate the next gener-
ation of science learners. So the signi-
cance is were contributing to the future
generation of scientists, said CuriOdyssey
Marketing Manager Hillary Hempstead.
We kind of saw the idea of lift propelling
us forward into another 60 years of science
learning for kids.
Welcomed handsy visitors can tinker with
ight-bound objects such as rockets, create
parachutes and paper airplanes and con-
struct magnetic levitating cars. Attendees
can also play with a Pneumatic Ball
Launcher, a brand-new science exhibit that
uses air pressure to launch a Ping-Pong ball
into the air.
The festival kicks off 9:55 a.m. with a
special stomp rocket ring, parachutes will
be launched 3 p.m. and the program runs
through 4 p.m. Activities throughout the
day include performances by Rebels Elite
cheerleaders, ribbon dancing by Lily Cai
Chinese Dance Company and the San Jose
Spiders Ultimate (Frisbee) Team.
The San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory
will also lead a program about exploring lift
from a birds point of view and a trained fal-
con will y full circles for the crowd.
Visitors will also get to see
CuriOdysseys rst-ever art installations.
More than 200 pinwheels have been strate-
gically positioned along the outside of the
centers building to capture wind at various
angles.
The wind, you cant really see unless its
in the trees. This exhibit kind of makes that
invisible phenomenon visible, Hempstead
said.
CuriOdysseys Director of Exhibits Eric
Maschwitz designed this permanent public
art exhibit. Staff also helped to build the
pinwheels that a professional crew fabricat-
ed and installed this week, Hempstead said.
It highlights the chaotic nature of the
wind. It becomes a textured motion over
the pinwheels as they capture different wind
currents, Maschwitz said. The idea was
also to break up the gray box of our building
with this undulating river of color.
Artist Mark Brest van Kempen also creat-
ed a massive art installation with more than
100 weather vanes.
Visitors will not only get to see a spec-
tacular visual display of wind through art,
theyll be able to interact with it by dancing
with ribbons and learning techniques on the
ultimate way to throw a Frisbee, Hempstead
said.
CuriOdyssey has grown over the last 60
years into a child-focused place to explore,
Hempstead said. Previously, it was known
as the Coyote Point Museum and in 2011
changed its name to reect how the organi-
zation has developed, Hempstead said.
Our science education philosophy has
evolved to a more experiential science
learning. Letting kids ask why? Ask ques-
tions and make discoveries on their own,
Hempstead said. We think it better
describes the experience that kids will have
when they come to CuriOdyssey; because
its kind of a curious journey.
CuriOdyssey provides year-round pro-
grams for children, families and school
groups that Hempstead said offers experi-
ences not typically available in a class-
room. With a new raccoon exhibit, daily
bobcat feedings and birds galore, the Lift
Off Festival is an opportunity to celebrate
what the nonprot has to offer.
Kids dont always get the opportunity to
get those real work experiences with inquiry
and investigation. Sometimes they just read
about it in books, but to really learn and
understand science, its very important to
be able to do it and test hypotheses and see
what works and what doesnt work,
Hempstead said. So we really offer a space
to experiment with science on their own.
The Lift Off Festival is 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Admission is free for kids 2 years old and
younger, $6 for children between 2 and 12
and $9 for adults. Parking at Coyote Point
is $6. For more information about
CuriOdyssey visit www.curiodyssey.org.

FESTIVAL
decided in September to also hold off on a
discussion until after the review. The review
will update information on the districts
use, need and accountability. The commis-
sion agreed to start the review by the end of
the year and also discussed hiring a consult-
ant for the work, said Executive Director
Martha Poyatos, who at the November
meeting will request authority to issue a
request for proposals.
On that timeline, the review will be com-
plete by approximately June.
Hiring an outside consultant lets the
evaluation be conducted by someone with
no preconceived notions or prior recom-
mendations of dissolution, said Supervisor
Don Horsley, who also sit on LAFCo.
Horsley said he is also holding off on
judgment.
I think we should keep an open mind,
Horsley said.
Both the Board of Supervisors and
LAFCo were given recommendations in the
grand jury report which is why each is
required to respond in writing within 90
days. Grand jury reports carry no other
legal weight and any try at dissolution
requires a city, district or voting majority
to initiate the process.
The Harbor District operates Pillar Point
Harbor on the coast and Oyster Point
Marina/Park in South San Francisco. The
district operates on a $10 million budget
with about half coming from property tax.
The scathing jury report looked at a vari-
ety of its issues including nances and its
widely reported board dysfunction.
In its rather thin reply to the jury report,
the county says it cannot agree with certain
ndings about operating losses and timeli-
ness of nancial reporting to commission-
ers because it does not have enough infor-
mation to draw conclusions.
LAFCo has recommended dissolving the
district dating back to 1977. The commis-
sion has reafrmed the position formal-
ly known as an adopted sphere designation
of zero periodically, most recently in
2006. However, several attempts to follow
through have failed.
The Board of Supervisors meets 9 a.m.
Tuesday, Oct. 7 in Board Chambers, 400
Government Center, Redwood City.

HARBOR
three other defendants in the court of U.S.
District Judge Susan Illston.
The defendants were alleged members of
the Norteo-affiliated 500 Block/C Street
gang in South San Francisco.
Federal prosecutors said the three young
men who were fatally shot on the evening
of Dec. 22, 2010, were members of a rival
Norteo gang, the Cypress Park Locos,
which was perceived as threatening the ter-
ritory of the 500 Block/C Street gang.
Another defendant, Benjamin Campos-
Gonzales, 23, of San Mateo, who was
alleged to have driven the car carrying the
shooters, was acquitted of the three mur-
ders, but was convicted of racketeering
conspiracy.
The two other defendants in the trial were
not charged with the murders.
Armando Acosta, 29, of Pacifica, was
convicted of racketeering conspiracy,
being an accessory after the fact to the
murders and obstructing justice.
The fourth defendant, Mario Bergren, 25,
of South San Francisco, was acquitted of all
charges.
The three men who were convicted will
be sentenced by Illston Jan. 16. Flores
faces a life sentence for the murders.
Prosecutors could have sought a rare feder-
al death sentence for Flores but decided not
t o.
The four defendants in the trial were the
last of 19 alleged gangmembers and asso-
ciates who were indicted on racketeering
and other charges in 2012. The 15 others
pleaded guilty to various charges.
One of them, Joseph Ortiz, 23, of South
San Francisco, pleaded guilty last year to
the three murders and numerous other
charges and was sentenced by Illston to
five consecutive life terms plus 60 years in
prison.
Prosecutors had decided to seek a death
penalty for Ortiz but his guilty plea
enabled him to avoid that penalty.

Bomb hits passenger bus
in Pakistan, killing seven
PESHAWAR, Pakistan A bomb ripped
through a mini-bus in northwestern
Pakistan on Thursday, killing at least seven
passengers, police said.
The bombing, which took place on the
outskirts of Peshawar, the capital of
Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province, also
wounded four people, said Shafqat Malik, a
senior police ofcer.
The bomb had apparently been planted
under a bus seat, he said, adding that police
were investigating. Malik would not specu-
late on who could be behind the bombing
but described it as an act of terrorism.
Those who orchestrated the attack will
not go unpunished, he said.
No one immediately claimed responsibil-
ity for the explosion, which came as the
Pakistani military is waging a major offen-
sive against the Taliban and foreign mili-
tants in the North Waziristan tribal region
near Afghanistan.
The army says militants have been on the
run since the June launch of the operation,
which also displaced over 800,000 people.
Most of the displaced have been living with
relatives or at camps in the northwest.
Ukraine wary of fragile
peace as patriotism surges
BOYARKA, Ukraine Since Ukraines
conflict with Russia erupted, Oleksandr
Federenko has gone from village kid to
army cadet, trading computer games for
knife-throwing classes and morning march-
es. He is only 13.
Federenkos shy laugh and wisp of upper
lip hair seem at odds with his bulky camou-
age uniform as he explains his decision to
sign up for the military academy. This year
I had this feeling of patriotism, he says,
and I wanted to defend my country.
In Ukraine, the governments campaign
against pro-Russian rebellion in the east
has united people of all ages in a newfound
patriotic fervor. Army ads dominate TV sta-
tions, war heroes are at the top of every
partys list for this months parliamentary
election and defense issues once an after-
thought in Ukraine now lead the agenda.
Although many Ukrainians are ready to
give a cease-re called last month a chance,
they see it only as a temporary x and are
digging in for years of confrontation, if not
outright war, with Russia.

ANKARA, Turkey Turkeys parliament
gave the government new powers Thursday
to launch military incursions into Syria and
Iraq, and to allow foreign forces to use its
territory for possible operations against the
Islamic State group.
The move opens the way for Turkey, a
NATO member with a large and modern mili-
tary, to play a more robust role in the U.S-led
coalition against the Sunni militants.
However, Turkey has yet to dene what that
role might be.
The vote came as the extremists pressed
their offensive against a beleaguered Kurdish
town along Syrias border with Turkey. The
assault, which has forced some 160,000
Syrians to ee across the frontier in recent
days, left the Kurdish militiamen scrambling
to repel the militants advance into the out-
skirts of Kobani, also known as Ayn Arab.
The assault came despite renewed U.S.-led
airstrikes in the area overnight. The United
States has been bombing the Islamic State
group across Syria since last week and in
neighboring Iraq since early August.
Turkeys parliament had previously
approved operations into Iraq and Syria to
attack Kurdish separatists or to thwart
threats from the Syrian regime. Thursdays
motion, which passed 298-98, expands
those powers to address threats from the
Islamic State militants who control a large
cross-border swath of Iraq and Syria, in some
cases right up to the Turkish border.
Asked what measures Turkey would take
after the motion was approved, Defense
Minister Ismet Yilmaz said: Dont expect
any immediate steps.
The motion prepares the legal ground
for possible interventions, but it is too
early to say what those interventions
will be, said Dogu Ergil, a professor of
political science and a columnist for
Todays Zaman newspaper.
The motion could allow Iraqi Kurdish
ghters to use Turkeys territory to safely
cross into Syria to help Syrian Kurdish
forces there, or permit the deployment of
coalition forces drones, Ergil said.
Turkey could also allow its air base in
Incirlik, some 160 kilometers (100 miles)
from the Syrian border to be used by allied
planes or for logistics.

HONG KONG Hong Kong protesters on
Friday welcomed an overnight offer by the
territorys leader of talks to defuse the crisis
over demonstrations seeking democratic
reforms, though they continued to demand
he resign and maintained barricades around
government headquarters, frustrating staff
going to work.
Student protesters had threatened to sur-
round or occupy government buildings if
Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying did not
step down by midnight Thursday, and police
had warned of serious consequence for the
protesters, who have grown into the
biggest challenge to Beijings authority
since China took control of the former
British colony in 1997.
The government said the Central
Government Ofces would be temporarily
closed after some civil servants and other
workers arriving for their shifts following a
two-day holiday were unable to get past the
barricades. It advised workers to follow con-
tingency plans.
It was unclear what kind of compromise
the talks might achieve, though they might
be part of a strategy to dampen the momen-
tum of the protesters. Afront-page editorial
Friday in the Peoples Daily newspaper,
published by Chinas ruling Communist
Party, underlined the leaderships unwill-
ingness to negotiate changes to its decision
that all candidates in an inaugural 2017
election for chief executive be approved for
the ballot by a committee of mostly pro-
Beijing elites.
Protesters want open nominations, and
also have demanded that Leung chosen
by such a committee step down.
What we want to ght for is our freedom,
and the free nomination of candidates for
our chief executive, said Ivy Chan, a 25-
year-old social worker. She welcomed word
of the talks and said she hoped that police
would not again use tear gas on protesters as
they did last Sunday to disperse huge
crowds.
