The emergency room at Mills Health Center
in San Mateo will close Dec. 1 to meet earth-
quake standards set by the state, hospital of-
cials announced yesterday.
The standby emergency department will be
replaced with an urgent care center in the
same space, scheduled to open in late 2013.
It would cost between $60 million and $80
million to retrot the one affected building at
Mills which hospital ofcials said is simply
not feasible.
With its closure, emergency and urgent care
services will be provided at the emergency
department at Mills-Peninsula Medical
Center in Burlingame, a Sutter Health afli-
ate, which has expanded capacity since the
new hospital opened last year and is just four
miles from the San Mateo ER.
Most patients who visit the standby ER at
Mills today require urgent care services rather
than critical emergency care. Ambulances
have bypassed Mills Health Center to take
critically ill or injured patients to Mills-
Peninsula Medical Center in Burlingame
since the Mills ER was downgraded to stand-
by status in 1997, according to a hospital
statement.
An urgent care facility will be a better t for
the community in San Mateo, Bob Merwin,
chief executive officer at Mills-Peninsula
Health Services told the Daily Journal yester-
day.
Merwin does not expect the standby ERs
closing in San Mateo to negatively affect the
community.

Challengers seek
change for HMB
Incumbents want to
continue citys revival
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The two incumbents running for re-election in Half Moon
Bay say the city is on the right track now after years of intense
belt-tightening and lost court settlements but the two chal-
lengers in the race say the city fell so low because of poor
leadership on the council.
Councilwoman Marina Fraser and Councilman John Muller
face rst-time candidates Harvey Rarback and John Ullom this
November for the two open seats on the council.
The Daily Journal sat the four candidates down for a meet-
ing this week to discuss the issues facing Half Moon Bay and
to get a sense of why they are running for ofce.
Fraser has already served two terms on the council and has
lived in Half Moon Bay for 40 years. She is seeking re-elec-
tion because there are projects in the city, like building a new
library or sprucing up athletic elds, that need to be realized,
she said.
She also said she wants to see the city become safer for
Voters facing sales tax
hike in Half Moon Bay
Increase will help with capital needs
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
After voters rejected a 1-cent sales tax hike in 2010, Half
Moon Bay ofcials are once again asking city residents to
approve a similar measure this time for a half-cent.
The Half Moon Bay City Council approved putting the
measure on the November ballot earlier this year to help sup-
port some of the citys capital needs such as repairing the Main
Street Bridge. The council voted 4-1, with Councilwoman

Burlingame High School students Bryce Nelson,left to right,Andrew Malta and Sebastian Shanus pull up graphics of the BHS
Mobile application they designed in hopes of helping people easily access school information.
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
When grades are posted, students at
Burlingame High School often pull out
their cellphones to check where they
stand after the most recent test, quiz or
assignment.
Noting dead spots in service and slow
Wi-Fi, students were nding it challeng-
ing to do so between class. In hopes of
offering a quicker solution, three stu-
dents released an app, available for free
download on iTunes, to allow students,
teachers and parents the chance to check
class schedules, grades or simply share
information. Called BHS Mobile, its
not the only app option on the
Burlingame campus. Its an example of
what teens are often doing on their own
creating technology despite classes
not always being available. For the teens
who created the app, its the rst of a few
they hope to put out for other local high
schools.
Seventeen-year-old senior Sebastian
Shanus explained the idea has been there
for a while, the challenge was knowing
how to centralize information. After an
internship this summer, Shanus was able
to look at the problem from a different
angle.
Junior Andrew Malta, 16, joined in
before the duo brought 15-year-old
Bryce Nelson on to help with graphics
and marketing. It was launched Aug. 22
and has already been revised once.
The idea was and continues to be sim-
ple: offer students, teachers and parents
a quick way to access information. For

Security official tries
to take gun on ight

Albuquerque airport ofcials say the
second-in-command of New Mexicos
domestic security agency was caught
trying to bring a loaded gun through a
security checkpoint.
State Deputy Secretary of Homeland
Security Anita Tallarico told
Albuquerque Sunport police that she
forgot to leave the weapon at home
when TSA agents spotted it in her purse
in a scanner Friday.
KOB-TV reports Tallarico told TSA
ofcials she was distraught because she
was going to a funeral. She was cited for
unlawful carrying of a deadly weapon.

says hes not sure how a person of
Tallaricos position could make such a
slip-up, but added that it happens fre-
quently nationwide.
Tallaricos gun was turned over to city

Lohan charged with
leaving scene of accident
NEW YORK Lindsay Lohan was
arrested in New York early Wednesday
on charges that she clipped a pedestrian
with her car and did not stop driving, but
her publicist said he expects the allega-
tions to be proven false.
The 26-year-old actress was arrested
at 2:25 a.m. as she left a nightclub at the
Dream Hotel in Manhattans Chelsea
neighborhood, police said. They said no
alcohol was involved.
Lohan was charged with leaving the
scene of an accident and causing injury.
She was given a ticket and scheduled to
appear in court on Oct. 23.
Police said Lohan was slowly driving
a black Porsche through an alley
between the Dream Hotel and the
Maritime Hotel on 16th Street when the
accident occurred. The victim called
911. He was treated
at a hospital for a
knee injury and
released.
We are condent
this matter will be
cleared up in the
coming weeks and
the claims being
made against
Lindsay will be
proven untrue, Lohans publicist Steve
Honig wrote in an email. He wrote the
incident appeared to be much ado about
nothing.
It was the latest car accident involving
Lohan.
On June 8, Lohan was involved in a
crash in California that sent her and her
assistant to a hospital. They were on
their way to a shoot for the lm Liz and
Dick when Lohans Porsche collided
with a dump truck on the Pacic Coast
Highway. Neither was seriously injured
and Lohan resumed shooting later in the
day.
The accident remains under investiga-
tion; police have said they are trying to
determine who was driving.
The actress, best known for roles in
Freaky Friday and Mean Girls, was
cleared in May of allegations that she
struck a Hollywood nightclub manager
with her car. Los Angeles prosecutors
refused to le charges, stating there was
no evidence an accident occurred and
citing doubts about the managers credi-
bility.

A Menlo-Atherton English teacher and a
sixth grade teacher from Roosevelt were rec-
ognized yesterday as the 2013 San Mateo
County Teachers of the Year.
Marei Kane, an English and English lan-
guage development teacher at Menlo-
Atherton High School was chosen as the 2013
San Mateo County Teacher of the Year for
middle/high school category. Sarah Coyle, a
sixth grade language arts and social studies
teacher at Roosevelt Elementary School in
the Redwood City, was selected as the 2013
San Mateo County Teacher of the Year for
elementary education.
Ms. Kane is remarkable for her many
skills and talents, but in particular, for how
she meets the needs of all learners, scaffold-
ing rigorous and engaging lessons for stu-
dents of all abilities. Her approach with dif-
ferentiated instruction provides the necessary
support for all her students to realize suc-
cess, County Superintendent Anne Campbell
wrote in a press release.
Kane, who immigrated to the United States
from Germany as a child, joined the M-A
staff in 1998. Today, she teaches two very dif-
ferent groups of students both of whom chal-
lenge her. She has the pleasure of working
with both the advanced placement English
students and teens who are working to truly
learn the language.
Kane said she went into teaching because
she enjoys watching students learn.
Its an exciting thing, she said.
Kane graduated cum laude from San
Francisco State University in 1986, earning
her bachelors degree in English literature.
She followed that up with two single subject
credentials, one in English and one in
German. She has taught in the San Francisco
Unied and Jefferson Elementary school dis-
tricts before joining Sequoia Union.
Kane enjoys bringing a global perspective
into her classroom. She also enjoys that M-A
is a campus that represents a cross section of
cultures and economic backgrounds. When
not teaching, Kane enjoys traveling and hik-
ing. The mother of an adult daughter, Kane is
also teaching herself to play the guitar.
Coyle was also surprised to be honored.
She thought it was a mistake for a full day,
Coyle said with a laugh.
She joined teaching at the encouragement
of the youngest of her two sons. At the time,
Coyle was doing day care at home. He want-
ed to stop sharing toys and asked if Coyle
could do her job outside their home. Teaching
seemed like a logical step.
For Coyle, the biggest challenge is nding
ways to connect with each child. This also
happens to be what she enjoys most about her
job. Sharing her own passions, Coyle said,
seems to be one way to really get children
invested.
I dont feel like I do anything different
than what anyone else would do, she said. I
love coming to work. I love my students.
Who wouldnt go above and beyond for
them?
To support the needs of struggling learners,
Coyle established an after-school home-
work/tutoring club two days a week utilizing
the talents of volunteers she trains herself.
Students who participate in the tutoring club
receive homework assistance and individual
instruction as needed.
Ms. Coyle is a committed professional
whose high expectations for her students
result in their buoyed condence and measur-
able academic growth. Her enthusiasm and
creativity combine to produce a fun and
adventurous learning environment,
Campbell said.
Coyle holds her bachelors degree in liber-
al arts from the California State University at
Hayward and a multi-subject credential and
masters in English from Notre Dame de
Namur University. She began teaching at
Roosevelt in 2008. Without the supportive
environment at her school, Coyle said the
work she does wouldnt be possible.

SACRAMENTO California elec-
tions ofcials hope to make signing up to
vote easier than ever through an online
registration system that launched
Wednesday.
Secretary of State Debra Bowen called
the new process "great news for democra-
cy." She was joined by state lawmakers
and voter advocates in Sacramento to
announce the web feature, which is being
made available for the rst time ahead of
the November election.
Supporters say it will help more than 6
million Californians who are qualied but
have not registered. Republicans had
opposed the bill that created complete
online registration, saying the change
could lead to voter fraud and additional
costs.
Under the new law, applicants can ll
out a traditional paper form or complete a
form online through the secretary of
state's website or at
www.registertovote.ca.gov . The applica-
tion, which will include date of birth and
the last four digits of the Social Security
number, will be checked against their dri-
ver's license or the state identication
card kept by the California Department of
Motor Vehicles.
If the information matches, an electron-
ic image of the applicant's DMV signa-
ture will be added to the application at the
end of the process.
If no signature is on le with the DMV,
applicants will have to print out the form
and mail the completed version to their
county elections ofce. That essentially is
the same process in place now.
"Today, the Internet replaces the mail-
box for thousands of Californians wish-
ing to register to vote," Bowen said dur-
ing a news conference.
She stressed that completing an online
application does not lead to automatic
registration. The information still has to
be veried by county elections ofcials
before an applicant is added to the voter
rolls.
Assemblyman Dan Logue, R-Linda,
who serves as vice chairman of the
Assembly elections committee and voted
against the bill, said the online system
opens up the state to more potential voter
fraud.
"I think California has to be careful
with that type of legislation. It could be
detrimental to the democratic process,"
Logue said. "Even in Arizona where they
have the online registration, they require
proof of citizenship. We don't even have
that."
The lawmaker blamed Democrats like
Bowen for politicizing the process to ben-
et their party. "I think we're going to nd
a lot of abuses in the system over the next
few years," he said.
Californians have until Oct. 22 to regis-
ter for the Nov. 6 general election, which
features the presidential race and 11
statewide ballot initiatives.
The online application process is the
result of legislation passed last year,
SB397 by state Sen. Leland Yee, D-San
Francisco/San Mateo.

SACRAMENTO The Federal
Railroad Administration gave its
approval Wednesday for construction on
the rst phase of Californias high-speed
rail system, clearing the nal technical
hurdle for construction to start next year
on a 65-mile span from Merced to
Fresno.
The decision supports the California
High-Speed Rail Authoritys so-called
hybrid alternative, which state ofcials
say is the least costly approach and the
one that is least harmful to the environ-
ment. Rail authority Chief Executive
Ofcer Jeff Morales said the federal
decision will allow the project to break
ground next year.
This is now a statewide rail modern-
ization plan which will not only deliver
high-speed rail but also will invest bil-
lions of dollars of improvements to local
and regional rail systems around the state
immediately, Morales said.
Federal ofcials reviewed the plan to
ensure compliance with dozens of feder-
al regulations, including the Endangered
Species Act, U.S. Fish and Wildlife reg-
ulations and the National Historic
Preservation Act. The plan also requires
the rail authority to provide nancial
compensation for environmental damage
such as increased pollution or harm to
wetlands and water sources.
Lawmakers approved the rst phase of
the planned 800-mile line this summer,
allowing the state to begin selling $2.6
billion in bonds for construction of the
initial 130-mile segment of the bullet
train in the Central Valley.
It also allowed the state to tap $3.2 bil-
lion from the federal government.

WASHINGTON The Justice

regarded public safety and resulted in

scenes in the U.S. and Mexico.
A former head of the departments

WASHINGTON Nearly 6 million
Americans signicantly more than rst
estimated will face a tax penalty under
President Barack Obamas health overhaul for
not getting insurance, congressional analysts
said Wednesday. Most would be in the middle
class.
The new estimate amounts to an inconven-
ient fact for the administration, a reminder of
what critics see as broken promises.
The numbers from the nonpartisan
Congressional Budget Ofce are 50 percent
higher than a previous projection by the same
ofce in 2010, shortly after the law passed.
The earlier estimate found 4 million people
would be affected in 2016, when the penalty is
fully in effect.
Thats still only a sliver of the population,
given that more than 150 million people cur-
rently are covered by employer plans.
Nonetheless, in his rst campaign for the
White House, Obama pledged not to raise
taxes on individuals making less than
$200,000 a year and couples making less than
$250,000.
And the budget ofce analysis found that
nearly 80 percent of those wholl face the
penalty would be making up to or less than
ve times the federal poverty level. Currently
that would work out to $55,850 or less for an
individual and $115,250 or less for a family of
four.
Average penalty: about $1,200 in 2016.
The bad news and broken promises from
Obamacare just keep piling up, said Rep.
Dave Camp, R-Mich., chairman of the House
Ways and Means Committee, who wants to
repeal the law.
Starting in 2014, virtually every legal resi-
dent of the U.S. will be required to carry
health insurance or face a tax penalty, with
exemptions for nancial hardship, religious
objections and certain other circumstances.
Most people will not have to worry about the
requirement since they already have coverage
through employers, government programs like
Medicare or by buying their own policies.
A spokeswoman for the Obama administra-
tion said 98 percent of Americans will not be
affected by the tax penalty and suggested
that those who will be should face up to their
civic responsibilities.
This (analysis) doesnt change the basic
fact that the individual responsibility policy
will only affect people who can afford health
care but choose not to buy it, said Erin
Shields Britt of the Health and Human
Services Department. Were no longer going
to subsidize the care of those who can afford
to buy insurance but make a choice not to buy
it.
Tax penalty to hit nearly 6
million uninsured people
WASHINGTON The Department of
Veterans Affairs has approved $28.4 million
in grants to fund 38 projects in 25 states and
the District of Columbia that will provide
transitional housing to homeless Veterans.
Among these 38 projects, 31 will provide
temporary housing to homeless Veterans
with the goal that they will retain the resi-
dence as their own.
As we drive toward our goal to end
homelessness among Veterans by 2015,
VA continues to find innovative ways to
permanently house Veterans who were
formerly homeless, said VA Secretary
Eric K. Shinseki. Under President
Obamas leadership, we have made
incredible strides in creating programs to
aid these brave men and women who have
served our Nation so well.
Thirty-one of the grants were awarded
through VAs Homeless Providers Grant and
Per Diem Programs (GPD) Transition in
Place model.
The program allows Veterans the oppor-
tunity to take over payment of a lease
instead of moving out after using VA serv-
icessubstance use counseling, mental
health services, job training and more.
Other VA programs require Veterans living
in transitional housing to move out after 24
months. A list of the grant recipients can be
found at: http://www.va.gov/HOME-
LESS/GPD.asp.
GPD helps close gaps in available housing
for the nations most vulnerable homeless
Veterans, including women with children,
Indian tribal populations, and Veterans with
substance use and mental health issues.

WASHINGTON Still sour on the state of
the U.S. economy, Americans are nonetheless
heading into the home stretch to Election Day
feeling better about the countrys future and
about how President Barack Obama is doing
his job, a new Associated Press-GfK poll
shows.
Republican rival Mitt Romney, meanwhile,
has lost his pre-convention edge on the econo-
my amid a urry of distractions that have
taken him on a detour from the central mes-
sage of his campaign.
For all of that, neither candidate has man-
aged to break away in the drum-tight presi-
dential race.
Obama is supported by 47 percent of likely
voters and Romney by 46 percent, according
to the poll. The survey was ending just as
word surfaced of Romneys caught-on-tape
comment that he doesnt worry about the 47
percent of people who pay no income taxes,
describing them as believing they are victims
and dependent on government.
The poll results vividly underscore the
importance that turnout will play in determin-
ing the victor in Campaign 2012: Among all
adults, Obama has a commanding lead,
favored by 52 percent of Americans to just 37
percent for Romney.
That gap virtually vanishes among likely
voters, promising an all-out ght to gin up
enthusiasm among core supporters and domi-
nate get-out-the-vote operations.
Voters sour on economy,
Obama jobs approval up
By Steve Peoples
MIAMI Facing tough questions about his
commitment to all Americans, Republican
presidential nominee Mitt Romney declared
Wednesday that his campaign supports the
100 percent in America.
Romney was responding at a televised
forum to questions sparked by his remarks last
spring that, as a candidate, my job is not to
worry about the 47 percent of Americans
who dont earn enough to pay income taxes
and are likely to support President Barack
Obama. He also described them as people who
are dependent upon government, who believe
that they are victims, who believe they are
entitled to a wide range
of benets.
In the days since the
magazine Mother Jones
posted the secretly taped
comments to donors, the
Romney campaign has
tried to fend off criticism
that the Republican candi-
date was writing off near-
ly half the country or was
disdainful of them.
Earlier in the day, Romney tried to draw a
distinction between himself and Obama. The
question of this campaign is not who cares
about the poor and the middle class. I do. He
does, Romney said at an Atlanta fundraiser.

Investigate Advocate

PARIS France stepped up security
Wednesday at its embassies across the
Muslim world after a French satirical
weekly revived a formula that it has
already used to capture attention:
Publishing crude, lewd caricatures of
Islams Prophet Muhammad.
Wednesdays issue of the provocative
satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, whose
offices were firebombed last year,
raised concerns that France could face
violent protests like the ones targeting
the United States over an amateur
video produced in California that have
left at least 30 people dead.
The drawings, some of which depict-
ed Muhammad naked and in demean-
ing or pornographic poses, were met
with a swift rebuke by the French gov-
ernment, which warned the magazine
could be inflaming tensions, even as it
reiterated Frances free speech protec-
tions.
The principle of freedom of expres-
sion must not be infringed, Foreign
Minister Laurent Fabius said, speaking
on France Inter radio.
But he added: Is it pertinent, intelli-
gent, in this context to pour oil on the
fire? The answer is no.
Anger over the film Innocence of
Muslims has fueled violent protests
from Asia to Africa. In the Lebanese
port city of Tyre, tens of thousands of
people marched in the streets
Wednesday, chanting Oh, America,
you are Gods enemy!
Worried France might be targeted,
the government ordered its embassies,
cultural centers, schools and other offi-
cial sites to close on Friday the
Muslim holy day in 20 countries. It
also immediately shut down its
embassy and the French school in
Tunisia, the site of deadly protests at
the U.S. Embassy last week.
The French Foreign Ministry issued
a travel warning urging French citizens
in the Muslim world to exercise the
greatest vigilance, avoiding public
gatherings and sensitive buildings.
The controversy could prove tricky
for France, which has struggled to inte-
grate its Muslim population, Western
Europes largest. Many Muslims
believe the Prophet Muhammad should
not be depicted at all even in a flat-
tering way because it might encour-
age idolatry.
Muhammad cartoons iname tensions
By Paul Schemm
TEL RIFAAT, Syria The bearded
gunmen who surrounded the car full
of foreign journalists in a northern
Syrian village were clearly not
Syrians. A heavyset man in a brown
gown stepped forward, announced he
was Iraqi and fingered through the
American passport he had confiscated.
We know all American journalists
are spies. Now tell us what you are
doing here and who you are spying
for, he said in English before going
on to accuse the U.S. of the destruc-
tion of Iraq and Afghanistan.
I really want to cut your head off
right now, he added, telling his men,
many of whom appeared to have
North African accents, that this
American kills Muslims.
With the intervention of nearby vil-
lagers, the confrontation eventually
was defused. But it underscored the
unpredictable element that foreign
fighters bring to the Syrian conflict.
Most of those fighting the regime of
President Bashar Assad are ordinary
Syrians and soldiers who have defect-
ed, having become fed up with the
authoritarian government, analysts
say. But increasingly, foreign fighters
and those adhering to an extremist
Islamist ideology are turning up on the
front lines. The rebels are trying to
play down their influence for fear of
alienating Western support, but as the
18-month-old fight grinds on, the
influence of these extremists is set to
grow.
On Monday, a U.N. panel reported a
rise in the number of foreign fighters
in the conflict and warned that it could
radicalize the rebellion.
The Syrian government has always
blamed the uprising on foreign terror-
ists, despite months of peaceful
protests by ordinary citizens that only
turned violent after repeated attacks
by security forces. The transformation
of the conflict into an open war has
given an opening to the foreign fight-
ers and extremists.
Talk about the role of foreign
jihadists in the Syrian civil war began
in earnest, however, with the rise in
suicide bombings. U.S. National
Director of Intelligence James
Clapper said in February that those
attacks bore the earmarks of the
jihadists in neighboring Iraq.

FDA urged to set
guidance levels
for arsenic in rice
By Mary Clare Jalonick
WASHINGTON The Food and Drug Administration may
consider new standards for the levels of arsenic in rice as con-
sumer groups are calling for federal guidance on how much of
the carcinogen can be present in food.
So far, FDA ofcials say they have found no evidence that sug-
gests rice is unsafe to eat. The agency has studied the issue for
decades but is in the middle of conducting a new study of 1,200
samples of grocery-store rice products short and long-grain
rice, adult and baby cereals, drinks and even rice cakes to
measure arsenic levels.
Rice is thought to have arsenic in higher levels than most other
foods because it is grown in water on the ground, optimal condi-
tions for the contaminant to be absorbed in the rice. There are no
federal standards for how much arsenic is allowed in food.
Arsenic is naturally present in water, air, food and soil in two
forms, organic and inorganic. According to the FDA, organic
arsenic passes through the body quickly and is essentially harm-
less. Inorganic arsenic the type found in some pesticides and
insecticides can be toxic and may pose a cancer risk if con-
sumed at high levels or over a long period.
How much organic and inorganic arsenic rice eaters are con-
suming, and whether those levels are dangerous, still remains to
be seen.
FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg says consumers
shouldnt stop eating rice, though she does encourage a diverse
diet just in case.
Our advice right now is that consumers should continue to eat
a balanced diet that includes a wide variety of grains not only
for good nutrition but also to minimize any potential conse-
quences from consuming any one particular food, she said.

Muslim unrest
Editor,
The whole Muslim world is exploding
with unrest and violence. Mobs are con-
ducting violent protests against the
United States. America go to hell is on
signs and shouted in slogans. The admin-
istration insists this is spontaneous and
unplanned as a result of a movie that no
one has seen. They further insist that
this has nothing to do with our foreign
policy. They could be right. The only
foreign policy that I know about is:
Osama is dead and GM is alive. How
could that incite riots and trigger animos-
ity? Maybe the president should cancel
the Letterman interview and attend a
security brieng. He might even nd
time to talk to Netanyahu.

Deep in Bill Silverfarbs article
Nueva School recruiting its rst fresh-
man class in the Sept. 14 edition of the
Daily Journal, is this sentence: the city
is ready to issue the rst building permits
this month for a townhome development
on the sprawling site where a horse rac-
ing track once stood.
A horse racing track? What horse rac-
ing track? Gee whiz. Being a poor, old,
steady, reliable agricultural entity, sport-
ing venue, family entertainment center,
nancial supporter of the World War II
effort, decades-long employer, tax rev-
enue supplier for the city and county of
San Mateo along with the 74 years of
history that is Bay Meadows race track
didnt even merit being referred to by
name in this article.
Instead where a horse racing track
once stood was the pitiful acknowledge-
ment historic Bay Meadows race track

World Alzheimers month
Editor,
September is world Alzheimers
month. I have slowly seen my mother
robbed of her independence and memo-
ries over the course of the last 10 years.
No one deserves to end their life this
way: not knowing their family or loved
ones and unable to manage even the sim-
plest of daily tasks. Even if you have not
been impacted by this terrible disease, I
am sure that you know someone that has.
Thirty-six million people worldwide
are living with dementia and more than 5
million Americans are living with
Alzheimers disease, which is the most
common form of dementia. Currently
there is no way to prevent, cure or slow
the progression of this disease. World
Alzheimers Month is our chance to join
the global ght against Alzheimers.
Please support my mother Margaret
Sharp and the millions of people facing
Alzheimers by wearing purple in an
effort to spread awareness on Sept. 21
Alzheimers Action Day.
If you or someone you know is seek-
ing support please contact the
Alzheimers Association at (800) 272-

Lies and distortions
Editor,
Scott Abramsons letter (U.S.
Embassy stormed in the Sept. 13 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal) reminds me of
Reagans famous remark, Here you go
again!
It isnt always easy to tell if Mr.
Abramson simply doesnt know better,
or uses every opportunity to ignore facts
and twist things around, hoping that
some gullible souls will buy his attacks
on our duly elected president. If you
have at least made it through high
school, you should know that the presi-
dent doesnt dole out money. Thats
Congress responsibility. There are rea-
sons for foreign aid, not always obvious
to others, but those amounts are dwarfed
by our spending on unnecessary wars
and excessive military.
Thank goodness we now have a presi-
dent who stays calm and thinks before
he issues statements with consequences.
Republican hopeful Romney has a lot to
learn here too. While on a losing cam-
paign track, Romney uses every opportu-
nity he can to attack Obama with no
regard for the facts or the damage done.
When we are faced with international
crises, we should stay united and let the
elected ofcials handle it. Anything else
is unpatriotic and irresponsible.
Mitt Romney keeps demonstrating that
he has no presidential potential, while
Obama reminds us how important it is
for us to re-elect him for the good of
the country, and for a safer world.
Oh yes, it now looks like an American
Christian was behind the movie that
served as an excuse for Islamists to
attack us.

Letters to the editor
The Clarion-Ledger, Jackson, Miss.
E
leven years after the 9/11
attacks, regular reminders about
that awful day persist, whenev-
er you pass through an airport, see the
altered Manhattan skyline or hear about
the latest casualties in Afghanistan. Less
visibly, millions of security cameras
track your movements, and the govern-
ment has amassed vast powers to snoop
on you.
But the palpable sense of fear that
gripped the nation has dissipated, and
terrorism has taken a back seat to the
economy and other issues in the presi-
dential campaign, something that would
have been unimaginable in the fall of
2001.
As important as the economy is, ter-
rorism shouldn't be relegated to an after-
thought. Of the many things done fol-
lowing 9/11, some were smart (reinforc-
ing cockpit doors on jetliners) and some
were silly (the color-coded alert sys-
tem). After 11 years, it's time to reassess
the threat and recalibrate the responses.
The threat has evolved. Osama bin
Laden is dead, and his al-Qaida organi-
zation is on the ropes, far less able to
mount a 9/11-style attack. Its effort to
recruit Muslims in the U.S. for terrorism
has mostly been a op.
At the same time, the threat is far
from eradicated. Bin Laden's successor,
Ayman al-Zawahri, remains at large.
The Taliban, which sheltered bin Laden
before 9/11, continues trying to reclaim
power in Afghanistan. Radical Islamists
are seeking a foothold in failing states
in the Middle East and Africa. A show-
down over Iran's nuclear program could
bring about a resurgence of Iranian-
sponsored terrorism, either from Tehran
or its Hezbollah allies. Then there's the
continuing danger from home-grown
terrorists, be they self-activated jihadists
like Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan or
non-Muslim anti-government fanatics.
Former New Jersey governor Thomas
Kean, who co-chaired the 9/11
Commission, tells us "this is exactly the
right time" to re-examine the threat and
response. He'd like to see Congress do
the job itself.
But if that can't happen either
because members are too partisan or
nd it impossible to decide what not to
do then the job should go to another
independent commission, which could
provide the necessary political cover.
Reassessing anti-terrorism efforts
Jail will not bring
long-lasting safety
By Manuel La Fontaine and Sharifa Wilson
J
ail did not help in my recovery or rehabilitation. If
anything, it made it difcult for me to keep my
family intact, said Pam Strong, an East Palo Alto
resident at a recent San Mateo County
Board of Supervisors meeting challenging
the proposal to build a new jail. Instead
of providing me with treatment for my
drug addiction and mental health issues,
they locked me up.
An expensive new jail is not an answer
to the issues raised by Strong. Many San
Mateo county residents already know this.
Sheriff Greg Munks and District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe insist that millions of
dollars toward peoples failures and a new
jail (and their departments) is exactly what we need. We need
to shift from failed measures that distort the nature of vio-
lence in our communities and move toward initiatives that
heal and restore dignity.
Sheriff Munks stated, in a video interview in the Peninsula
Press in June 2011, that 70 percent of people arrested had
substance abuse problems, more than 22 percent had mental
health issues, and more than 60 percent were unemployed.
Jail cannot solve any of these underlying problems and, in
fact, the trauma of living in a cage often makes them worse.
As the countys Health System wrote in response to the jail
planning, The research evidence is strong that despite the
best treatment that can be provided while people are in cus-
tody, people with mental illness do not get better in institu-
tions, particularly in jails, which tend to be difcult even for
people without mental illness.
The incarceration of Pam Strong was not a question of pub-
lic safety, but rather a reactionary, misunderstood response by
people who dont understand the underlying conditions peo-
ple are facing in poor and marginalized communities. Racial
proling, immigration checkpoints and harassment of youth
in East Palo Alto, Redwood City and Daly City, has led to the
increased fear of law enforcement, constant confrontations
with police and arrests of many young people of color. The
communities who bear the brunt of these problems are deeply
impacted by county budget cuts and underfunded programs,
and are further destabilized by having people cycle in and out
of jail.
People who are incarcerated are treated in a way that is
meant to take away their dignity and that is not a problem
that can be solved by a new jail design; its a problem of the
power relations between guards and prisoners. Perhaps you
think people who commit a crime dont deserve to be treat-
ed with dignity. But how are people going to transform them-
selves if they experience violence in a place that is supposed
to be correcting their behavior? When people get sentenced
by a judge, they do not get sentenced to physical or psycho-
logical beatings. However, when some people decide to act
out due to mental health issues, or to demand to be treated
with respect, they are retaliated against. Since incarcerated
people are considered the bad guys and expendable, the
majority of correctional ofcers act, at best with indifference
and callousness, and at worse, with abuse and impunity
towards those they deem non-conformist, said Dorsey
Nunn, a formerly-incarcerated person from East Palo Alto at
the press conference outside the recent BOS meeting. But
this is something that is hidden from the public lens by law
enforcement, career politicians and mainstream media. Jails
are not places for transformation, and they are not social
service providers; they are simply the places we lock away
the people we scapegoat for systemic social and economic
problems that we havent solved.
Besides the sheriff, district attorney and some county of-
cials, there is little support for the jail. Just this week, 150
people turned out to a 9 a.m. weekday San Mateo County
Board of Supervisors meeting to demand they cancel funding
for the jail. Shouldnt the public have input when considering
huge decisions like building and funding a new jail? Why not
explore alternatives to incarceration before investing in an
expensive project that has long-lasting implications? We need
to address overcrowding by reducing the amount of people
we are sending to jail in the rst place. There are solutions;
we can release people who cant make bail on their own
recognizance (OR), reduce bail and expand substance abuse
and mental health programs. We all want safe and healthy
communities. And we all want justice. However, it must be
applied universally across all neighborhoods, regardless of
race, gender or class. We welcome all our neighbors to join
us in building a safer San Mateo County.

A pair of encouraging reports about the
housing market gave U.S. stocks a little
boost Wednesday.
Home sales jumped to the highest level
in more than two years in August, the
National Association of Realtors said.
Sales rose 7.8 percent to a seasonally
adjusted annual rate of 4.82 million, the
most since May 2010.
Earlier, the government reported that
construction of single-family homes in
August also was the fastest in more than
two years.
Stocks of homebuilders, already up
after the construction report, rose sharply
after 10 a.m., when the jump in home
sales was reported. D.R. Horton Inc. rose
87 cents, or 4.1 percent, to $22.22; Beazer
Homes USA Inc. rose 22 cents, or 6.2
percent, to $3.75; and KB Home rose 46
cents, or 3.6 percent, to $13.16.
The gains for broader stock indexes
were muted. At its high for the day, the
Dow Jones industrial average was up just
62 points.
The housing numbers are fantastic
news, but traders continue to worry
about recent discouraging signals this
week like downgrades of railroads and a
warning from Federal Express that the
global economy is slowing, said JJ
Kinahan, chief derivatives strategist for
TD Ameritrade, a retail brokerage.
The market is at a bit of a conun-
drum, Kinahan said. There are just con-
stantly these mixed signals about whats
going on.
The Dow closed up 13.32 points, or 0.1
percent, at 13,577.96. The Dow is just a 4
percent rally shy of its all-time high of
14,164, reached Oct. 9, 2007.
The Standard & Poors 500 index rose
1.73 points, or 0.1 percent, to 1,461.05.
Telecom and consumer discretionary
stocks added the most among the industry
groups in the S&P 500 index.
Energy stocks suffered as the price of
oil fell $3.31, or 3.5 percent, to $91.98 per
barrel. Traders are questioning whether
economic growth is strong enough to jus-
tify a recent run-up to $100 per barrel.
Crude is down 7 percent this week.
The Nasdaq composite index rose 4.82
points, or 0.2 percent, to 3,182.62.
Earlier, Asian and European markets
closed higher after the Bank of Japan
announced a massive asset purchasing
plan similar to what the Federal Reserve
approved last week. Japans main stock
index hit a four-month high.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note
fell to 1.78 percent from 1.81 percent late
Tuesday as demand for safe investments
increased.

WASHINGTON A jump in sales
of previously occupied homes and fur-
ther gains in home construction sug-
gest the U.S. housing recovery is gain-
ing momentum.
The pair of reports Wednesday fol-
lows other signs of steady progress in
the housing market after years of stag-
nation. New-home sales are up, builder
confidence has reached its highest level
in more than six years and increases in
home prices appear to be sustainable.
Sales and construction rates are still
below healthy levels, economists cau-
tion. But the improvement has been
steady.
And the broader economy is likely to
benefit. When home prices rise,
Americans typically feel wealthier and
spend more a point Federal Reserve
Chairman Ben Bernanke made last
week after the Fed unveiled a plan to
lower mortgage rates. Consumer
spending drives 70 percent of the eco-
nomic growth.
We have a real housing recovery
taking root, and that has positive
implications for the broader econo-
my, said Sal Guatieri, senior econo-
mist at BMO Capital Markets. If
home prices continue to rise, so, too,
will household wealth and consumer
confidence.
Sales of previously occupied homes
rose 7.8 percent in August from July to
a seasonally adjusted annual rate of
4.82 million, the National Association
of Realtors said Wednesday.

HP resolves patent infringement lawsuit
NEW YORK Computer and printer maker Hewlett-
Packard said Wednesday that it has resolved an ink cartridge
patent infringement lawsuit with Brazils Rio Branco Ltda.,
a distributor of Maxprint ink cartridges.
HP had led a suit in Brazil in April 2011, alleging that
HP-compatible inkjet print cartridges were being imported
and sold in Brazil that infringed on HP patents. It described
the settlement with Rio Branca as amicable.
The settlement includes the Maxprint brands acknowl-
edgement that HPs patents relating to its integrated print-
head inkjet cartridges are valid and enforceable, HP said.
HP said Maxprint has also agreed to stop selling the ink car-
tridges in question in Brazil and in other countries that offer
Maxprint cartridges.
Judge leaves U.S. sales
ban on Samsung tablet intact
SAN JOSE A federal judge has refused to rescind a
court order banning Samsung Electronics from selling its
Galaxy Tab 10.1 computer in the U.S.
The denial issued this week in San Jose federal court is
part of a bitter battle pitting Samsung Electronics against
Apple Inc. in a dispute over the mobile devices made by the
two companies.
A jury last month awarded Apple $1.05 billion after con-
cluding several Samsung smartphones infringed on Apples
iPhone patents.
Groupon launches payments service in U.S.
NEW YORK Groupon launched a payment service
Wednesday that allows businesses to accept credit cards
using an iPhone or iPod Touch, becoming the latest compa-
ny to enter the growing mobile payments market.
The announcement sent the online deals companys stock
up nearly 14 percent. Groupon shares climbed 65 cents to
close at $5.34 Wednesday. The Chicago-based company
went public in November at a stock price of $20.

LATE-SEASON SLUMP: THE OAKLAND AS LOST TO DETROIT FOR SECOND STRAIGHT DEFEAT >>> PAGE 12
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
When the Pinewood girls volleyball team
traveled to Hillsborough to take on host Crystal
Springs Uplands School, it featured two one-
loss teams entering their West Bay Athletic
League Foothill Division opener.
Not all one-loss teams are the same, howev-
er. That was evident as Crystal Springs cruised
to a 25-17, 25-20, 25-14 victory.
I thought we played rather well. Overall,
we played OK., said Crystal Springs coach
Steve Cavella. I think our goal was we
wanted to work on things, get some sets to
other people besides Hannah.
That would be Hannah Kaiser, the
Gryphons premiere outside hitter. The 5-11
senior nished with 19 kills in three games
nine in the rst, ve in Game 2 and four more
in the nal set. Making her match even more
impressive is Kaiser had 19 kills on just 33
attempts with only three hitting errors.
She had 19 kills in three games, which is
pretty ridiculous, Cavella said.
Kaiser was far from the only effective hitter
for Crystal Springs (1-0 WBAL, 8-1 overall).
Caroline Dicioccio and Caroline Callaghan,
the Gryphons middle blockers, combined for
11 kills.
A lot of our setting decisions were pretty
good, Cavella said. Were running our mid-
dles a little more now. Were trying to spread
things out, mixing things up.
Setter Michelle Embury was the main dis-
tributor. Of the Gryphons 34 kills, Embury
assisted on 32 of them.
The Crystal Springs defense wasnt bad
either. Kaiser nished with 14 digs, while
freshman libero Angelica Geli Du had a
team-high 22 digs. Du got to balls a lot of play-
ers dont even attempt and while she did have
some attacks glance off her, the fact she even
got a hand on it was impressive in and of itself.
Shes a really good player. Its hard to step
into a starting role as freshman, Cavella said.
[Du] is a pretty special player. Shes really
good at reading the hitter and getting herself in
the right spots.

s much as the spread offense has
inltrated the game of high school
football, the next big thing
appears to be the hurry-up, no-huddle
offense. No longer is it used exclusively for
two-minute drills at the end of the half.
Teams are starting to use it all game long.
Why not? Look at the success the
University of Oregon has had with it at the
college level, or what Peyton Manning did
with the Indianapolis
Colts all those years.
What about the K-
Gun the Buffalo
Bills ran during the
Jim Kelly heyday? All
were used to keep
defenses on the eld,
to prevent defensive
substitutions and to
wear them out.
Sequoia coach Rob
Poulos said he
planned to implement
the hurry-up offense
this season, although I have yet to see the
current Cherokees in action. The other team
I know running the no-huddle is Half Moon
Bay.
After watching the Cougars beat South
City 17-2 last weekend, I asked Half Moon
Bay coach Keith Holden about it. The
answer kind of surprised me. He said the
Cougars are implementing it not because it
gives his team an advantage against a
defense but because it allows the Cougars
to make better use of their practice time.
Where it really helps is practice,
Holden said. Before, wed get ve plays
(run) in ve minutes. Now, we can get 12
plays in ve minutes.
The Half Moon Bay version of the no-
huddle is strictly that no huddle. There

SANTA CLARA It was a natural
moment for Michael Crabtree to address his
49ers teammates on his 25th birthday last
Friday.
When asked to say a few words on the eld
after practice, Crabtree kindly obliged. And he
surprised a few of his San Francisco col-
leagues with a spot-on message: The defense
has been doing so much to carry San
Francisco, he called for the offense to match
that performance.
He broke it down with some pretty power-
ful words for us on offense, left tackle Joe
Staley said. He said: We have this defense
and we cant depend on this defense anymore.
Its time to step up as an offense. And I think
everybody kind of took that to heart.
Coach Jim Harbaugh presented the wide
receiver with a celebratory red velvet cupcake
and hand-written card, a regular gesture for
players birthdays.
Two days later, Crabtree did his part to make
good on his challenge to the team deliver-
ing three third-down con-
version catches in a 27-19
win by the 49ers (2-0) over
the Lions.
His teammates certainly
appreciated the thoughtful
words Friday as much as
they did the big plays
Sunday.
The defense gets a lot
of credit, deservedly so,
quarterback Alex Smith
said. Especially last season, they played at a
really high level. (He) talked a lot about
offense. If you can get offense, defense and
special teams all rolling, you know how scary
it can be. Michael is the guy who has been
there, worked extremely hard. He continues to
work extremely hard, and our guys look to
him.
Crabtree is healthy at last, and showing his
ability to make athletic possession receptions
under pressure and extend plays after the
catch. Detroits aggressive, physical defense

ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders made
moves to bolster their banged-up secondary
on Wednesday by signing cornerback
Brandian Ross from Green Bays practice
squad and giving starting free safety Michael
Huff work at cornerback in practice.
The Raiders are short-handed at cornerback
after injuries to both starters. Ron Bartell
broke his shoulder blade in the opener and
was placed on the reserve-injured list that will
prevent him from playing in a game until at
least Nov. 11. The other starter, Shawntae
Spencer, left last weeks game in Miami in the
fourth quarter with a sprained right foot.
With Pat Lee and Joselio Hanson both
struggling in coverage in the loss to the
Dolphins, the Raiders needed to make some
changes in order to contend with Ben
Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers
dangerous passing attack.
Next guy has to step up, Hanson said.
Thats why you have depth on a team. In the
NFL everybody can play, so the next guy has
to step up.
The rst move was to sign Ross, who made
the Packers 53-man roster out of camp but
was inactive the rst game and then demoted
to the practice squad last week. Ross spent
last season on Green Bays practice squad as
an undrafted free agent out of Youngstown
State when Raiders general manager Reggie
McKenzie was a personnel executive with the
Packers.
McKenzie convinced Ross to stay in Green
Bay last year when another team was interest-
ed in signing him and then got him for the
Raiders.
Hes a big guy, a physical guy, has got
some coverage skills, coach Dennis Allen
said. Hes a guy that Reggie knew about
from being there with him, so he was a guy
we thought could come in and compete.
Ross said he has been able to pick up the
new defense well on his rst day and is hop-
ing to be ready to contribute Sunday against
the Steelers.
Lee moved into the starting lineup when
Bartell went down with the injury against San
Diego but got pulled early in the loss in

NEW YORK Major League Baseball
appears unlikely to interfere if Melky Cabrera
wins the NL batting title while serving his 50-
game suspension for a positive drug test.
The San Francisco Giants outelder began
Wednesday with a league-leading .346 average,
seven points ahead of Pittsburgh's Andrew
McCutchen.
Cabrera has 501 plate appearances, one fewer
than the required amount if the Giants play 162
games. Under section 10.22(a) of the Ofcial
Baseball Rules, he would win the batting title if
an extra hitless at-bat is
added to his average and it
remains higher than that of
any other qualifying player.
Well see how it all plays
out, baseball
Commissioner Bud Selig
said Wednesday after taping
an episode of
CenterStage for the YES
Network. We generally
dont interfere in that process. Well take a look
at it at the end of the year.
Cabrera, the All-Star game MVP, was sus-
pended Aug. 15 for a positive test for testos-
terone and is missing the nal 45 games of the
regular season.
During the YES interview, scheduled to air for
the rst time Sept. 27, Selig was asked whether
records set during the Steroids Era should be
revisited.
You cant change records because once you
get into that it would never stop, Selig said. It
would create more problems than it would
solve.
Selig did say he was pleased an agreement
was reached Tuesday to suspend Toronto short-
stop Yunel Escobar for three games for wearing
eye-black displaying an anti-gay slur written in
Spanish during a game last weekend against
Boston.
When something like that happens, its dis-
appointing, Selig said.
Selig would not indicate whether he was clos-
er to making a decision on the dispute between
the Oakland Athletics and San Francisco Giants.
Oakland wants to build a ballpark in San Jose,
which is part of the Giants territory, and Selig
appointed a committee in March 2009 to evalu-
ate the issue.

DETROIT Oakland hopes it only lost a
game in the Motor City.
Brett Anderson pitched just two-plus
innings before leaving with a strained right
oblique and the Detroit Tigers went on to beat
the Athletics 6-2 on Wednesday night.
Hes getting an MRI
right now, As manager
Bob Melvin said. So, we
wont know anything until
he gets back.
After walking Miguel
Cabrera intentionally and
giving Prince Fielder a
free pass on four pitches to
load the bases, Anderson
was injured while pitching
to Delmon Young. Anderson fell forward and
landed awkwardly after throwing his 48th
pitch. Oakland trainer Nick Paparesta and
Melvin talked with Anderson briey on the
eld before deciding to take him out of the
game.
We could see earlier in the inning that he
was trying to stretch out his back, so I dont
think the fall had anything to do with it,
Melvin said. We just checked him at that
point and decided we didnt want to go any
farther with him.
Melvin plans to pitch Dan Strally in
Andersons spot in the rotation if he cant
make his next start.
Oakland, clinging to an AL wild-card spot,
has dropped three straight.
You are never going to just speed through
a pennant race and win everything, Melvin
said.
Cabrera homered, Omar Infante drove in
three runs and Justin Verlander pitched six
scoreless innings for the Tigers. Anderson (4-
2) gave up three runs and three hits, losing his
second straight start after winning his rst
four this season.
Verlander (15-8) allowed ve hits and three
walks while striking out ve in a 122-pitch
outing.
You know that hes out there trying to go
all nine, and your only chance to get his pitch
count up, inelder Brandon Moss said. The
problem is that hes still one of the best pitch-
ers in baseball, so even if you get runners on
base, you have to nd a way to get them in.
The Tigers have won two straight over the
As and 28 of their last 36 games at home
to pull within two games of AL Central-
leading Chicago White Sox.
We played a couple good games against
one of the hottest teams in all of baseball,
Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. Thats
pretty good.
Detroits Octavio Dotel struck out two in a
perfect seventh. Joaquin Benoit had two
strikeouts in the eighth. Jose Valverde closed
the game in a non-save situation, entering
with a six-run lead, and was booed after giv-
ing up two-out RBI singles to Cliff
Pennington and Stephen Drew.
The Tigers played some small ball to take a
3-0 lead in the third.
Andy Dirks and Gerald Laird started the
inning with bunt singles and advanced on
Austin Jacksons groundout. Infante followed
with a double down the left-eld line to put
Detroit up 2-0.
Right-hander Pat Neshek replaced
Anderson and Young promptly hit a sacrice
y to give the Tigers a 3-0 lead.
Detroit shortstop Jhonny Peralta had an
error in the fth snapping a 75-game error-
less streak but he helped turn a double play
to end the inning. He chipped in at the plate in
the home half, hitting an RBI single to put
Detroit ahead 4-0.
Cabrera sent Jim Millers 94 mph high fast-
ball on an 0-2 pitch over the fence in left eld
for his 41st home run and 130th RBI to bolster
his chances of being baseballs rst Triple
Crown winner since Bostons Carl
Yastrzemski pulled off the feat in 1967.
Infantes groundout gave the Tigers a six-
run lead in the eighth inning.
Weve lost back-to-back games before, this
isnt a big deal, Moss said.
NOTES: As OF Coco Crisp didnt play
because of infections in both eyes and Melvin
is hoping his contagious ailment doesnt
spread. Hes got his own towels, Melvin
said. ... Oakland 3B Brandon Inge, who the
Tigers released in April, was in Oaklands
dugout with his sons a week after having sur-
gery on right shoulder to repair the labrum.
Ill be ready for spring, Inge said. ... Melvin
said Travis Blackley will pitch Saturday at
New York.

SAN FRANCISCO Matt Cain pitched
eight solid innings to earn his career-best 15th
win, Pablo Sandoval homered for his rst time
in two months and the San Francisco Giants
moved another game closer to clinching the NL
West title with a 7-1 victory over the Colorado
Rockies on Wednesday night.
Sandovals three-run shot in the rst inning
off Tyler Chatwood (4-5) was his ninth homer
of the season and helped hand Cain (15-5)
another milestone in a season full of them. With
the second-place Dodgers splitting a double-
header in Washington, San Francisco (86-63)
lowered its magic number to clinch the division
to ve.
Cain allowed four hits, struck out eight and
walked four. Chris Nelson scored Colorados
only run on D.J. LeMahieus yout in the fth.
Gregor Blanco added three singles and two
RBIs, and Jose Mijares pitched a perfect ninth
to give San Francisco its third straight win and
seventh in the last eight games.
Chatwood allowed eight hits and three runs in
four innings, extending his winless streak to
four straight starts as the Rockies dropped their
fth straight.
Even seemingly unhittable pitches for
Colorado these days are proving otherwise.
Sandoval reached in front of the plate to dig
out an 0-2 slider near his ankles, pulling it off
the right-eld foul pole to give the Giants a 3-0
lead in the rst inning. The switch-hitting
Sandoval had gone 161 at-bats since his last
home run July 8 against Pittsburghs A.J.
Burnett.
In the pitcher-friendly connes of AT&T
Park, the home run was just the 24th at home for
the Giants this year, which has frustrated hitters
but also played into San Franciscos strength.
Cain controlled Colorados depleted lineup in
his typical solid and steady style.The only hits
the hard-throwing righty allowed over the rst
15 batters were singles by Nelson. And Cain
wriggled out of his only jam when he got Carlos
Gonzalez to ground out to second with the
bases loaded for the nal out of the fth.
Cain, often the hard-luck loser for most of his
San Francisco career, went 14-8 in 2009 and has
won at least 12 games in four of his eight sea-
sons. The National League All-Star game starter
improved to 14-0 this season when the Giants
score at least three runs.

Miami after struggling to guard Brian Hartline.
Lee allowed four catches in six throws his way
in coverage for 56 yards, according to STATS
LLC.
We just have to pick it up. Guys that are
backing up just have to do what we have to do
and do our jobs right, Lee said. Just be more
aware of the situation and be more physical.
Hanson, picked up before the season after
being cut by Philadelphia, didnt fare any better
after replacing Lee. He allowed ve catches in
six attempts for 58 yards. Hanson had most of
his success with the Eagles playing in the slot
and could return there if the Raiders decide to
shift Huff from safety to cornerback.
The Raiders had been planning to make that
switch after last season before McKenzie and
Allen took over the organization. Huff remained
at free safety under the new regime while still
getting time as a cornerback in nickel packages.
He got some work at cornerback in practice
Wednesday and could play there Sunday with
Matt Giordano getting more time at safety.
Huff is an all-around guy, Lee said. Hes a
good player. He can do whatever out there on
the eld. Hes going to do his job. Thats Huff.
The Raiders also may have to replace a starter
on the offensive line with right tackle Khalif
Barnes out with a groin injury. Willie Smith,
signed earlier this month, replaced Barnes in the
game and will start Sunday. Smith started three
games last season for Washington and was cred-
ited with allowing three sacks, according to
STATS LLC. Smith will have his hands full with
Pittsburgh linebacker LaMarr Woodley, whose
49 career sacks since entering the league in
2007 are the seventh most in the league in that
span.

NEW YORK The numbers say there isnt
much difference in the NFL with replacement
ofcials. Comments from players and coaches
say otherwise.
As fan outrage grows over calls and non-
calls, delays in doling out penalties and indeci-
sion by the replacements, statistics show strong
similarities between the number of ags thrown
this year by the temporary crews and last year
by the guys who currently are locked out.
The NFL knows things are far from perfect
something that could have been predicted
with ofcials whose recent experience typical-
ly was not even at the highest college levels.
But things are never perfect with the regulars,
either, and the league shows no sign of being
forced back to the negotiating table because of
the criticism.
We are going to continue to do everything
possible to raise the level of performance of the
current ofcials through training tapes, confer-
ence calls and meetings, NFL spokesman Greg
Aiello said Wednesday.
The league does that with the regular of-
cials, too.
One point of emphasis this week will be
game control and making sure players are
penalized for unnecessary actions ranging from
roughness penalties to unsportsmanlike con-
duct.
Game control and simple professionalism by
the ofcials have become key issues this week
after complaints from a number of players.
Theres no doubt the integrity of the game
has been compromised not having the regular
ofcials out there, Giants linebacker Mathias
Kiwanuka said. Weve got to get that taken
care of.
Added Rams coach Jeff Fisher: We just all
hope, and Im speaking on behalf of all 31 other
head coaches, we hope they get something
done. Were trusting that they will.
The Eagles LeSean McCoy was stunned
when one of the replacements told the All-Pro
running back he was on the ofcials fantasy
football team. The league prohibits its game
ofcials from playing fantasy football.
Ill be honest, McCoy said, they are like
fans.
What the fans seem most annoyed with is the
lack of pace to games, most notably Monday
nights win by the Falcons over the Broncos
that dragged on past midnight. Thats about the
only area where, statistically, the replacements
have been far inferior.
Average time of game is about six minutes
longer in 2012 than in 2011, and with only one
overtime game in the opening two weeks
same as last year extra periods cant be
blamed. More likely, the time it takes to prop-
erly administrate penalties throughout the game
is the cause.
The league has a supervisor in the press box
and an alternate ofcial on the sideline to help
in that area. But its been a struggle.
Its a combination of everything, said
Fisher, who has served on the NFLs competi-
tion committee for most of his coaching career.
Most of them are not (from) Division I.
Theyre all doing the best they can but its a
combination of everything: its the speed, its
the differences in rules. We just hope theyre
able to put things together as soon as they can.
Offensive players believe the replacements
are concentrating on pass interference penalties
against them, not against defensive backs. The
numbers: six such calls this season to nine
through two weeks last year.

man, who nished with 13 kills and four serv-
ice aces. But the Gryphons variety on offense
more than offset den Bravens strong perform-
ance.
The Panthers hung with the Gryphons early
in all three games before Crystal Springs pulled
away in the middle of each game. In Game 1,
Crystal Springs held just a one-point lead, 9-8,
following a den Braven kills, but the Gryphons
got the sideout on a Kaiser kills and that
sparked a 7-0 Gryphons run. Kaiser accounted
for four of those points.
After Crystal Springs served the ball into the
net, the Gryphons won four of the next ve
points to take a 20-10 lead. Not even a
Pinewood 4-0 run would prevent the Gryphons
from taking Game 1 25-17.
Game 2 was similar to the rst, but this time
it was Pinewood that made an early run. With
Crystal Springs holding a 7-5 lead, the Panthers
won seven of the next eight points to grab an
11-8 advantage.
The Panthers, however, won only two of the
next 12 points as Crystal Springs turned that
three-point decit into a 19-14 lead, punctuated
by another Kaiser kill. Pinewood got back into
the game, winning four of the next ve points
to cut its decit to 21-19, but the Panthers could
not get over the hump as the Gryphons went on
to win Game 2 25-20.
Crystal Springs closed out the Panthers in
Game 3, steadily extending an early lead. The
Gryphons ended the match with authority, get-
ting kills for three of their nal four points
two from Dicioccio and one from Maddison
Clay, another freshman.
I think were at a point where we realize
were competing for a league title, Cavella
said.
GRYPHONS
is no added hurry-up to the plays, the
Cougars just choose not to group up to call a
play. Instead, the offensive line moves into
position at the line of scrimmage, while quar-
terback Shane Acton calls out the play and
snap count.
Considering the Cougars managed only 90
yards of offense against South City, the no-
huddle offense does not necessarily give an
offense an advantage. Besides, its not like
most high schools around here are making
mass defensive substitutions.
Most teams put their best 11 defenders out
there and they stay out there, Holden said.
He said the main benet was for the quarter-
back to get a longer look at what scheme the
defense is using.

Another week, another strange start time
for the Serra football team.
Last week, when the Padres hosted Encinal,
kickoff was a weird 4 p.m. start, which Serra
coach Patrick Walsh believed would challenge
his players.
The Padres passed that test with ying col-
ors.
This week is another abnormal start time
when the Padres travel to the Central
California town of Atwater to take on Buhach
Colony at 7:30 p.m. tonight.
Strange kickoff aside, the Padres appear to
have their hands full with the Thunder, which
are 3-1 and have knocked off North Coast
Section power San Ramon Valley and have
hung 50-plus points on both Modesto and
Lodi.
I dont believe, however, Buhach Colony
has seen a defense as good as Serras. What
stood out the most in the rst half of the
Padres 56-7 win over Encinal last week was
how scary fast the Serra defense is. The Jets
had a handful of quick, athletic skill-position
players, but they had no chance escaping the
Padres defense.
And when Serra does catch you, the Padres
put a hurting on you.
This Serra defense is probably the best in
Walshs 11-year tenure at the school.

Serra will induct seven new members into
the schools Athletic Hall of Fame next
month. The new members are Al Paganucci
(1966, baseball); Parker Kelly Jr. (1987, cross

was just his style, if you ask Harbaugh.
I think he secretly hopes it comes down to
that, Harbaugh said. I think he likes that physi-
cal part of the game because he thrives on it so
well. And hes a tough, tough guy that will suck
it up in a heartbeat.
Crabtrees early 17-yard catch on the left side-
line set up a 21-yard touchdown pass to Vernon
Davis that put the 49ers on the scoreboard 2 min-
utes, 35 seconds into the game.
A lot of things can be momentum changers in
the game. That was one, Crabtree said. I get
hyped every weekend about football. This is my
job. I dont see big play. I just see catch the ball,
every play. I wish I could tell you something spe-
cial.
He has led the team in receptions in both wins
so far, with the 49ers headed to Minnesota to
meet the Vikings on Sunday. Against the Lions,
Crabtree converted on third down with receptions
of 7, 16 and 11 yards all in the fourth quarter.
Now, the Niners No. 10 overall pick in the 2009
draft out of Texas Tech has 13 catches through
two games for 143 yards. Crabtree and fellow
wideout Randy Moss are complementing each
other as well as anybody could ask for and
pulling some defenders away from Davis.
As long as hes healthy, I feel that hes one of
the top guys in the league, running back Frank
Gore said of Crabtree. He can do everything
catch, be physical, tough, yards after the catch, he
blocks. This doesnt surprise me at all what
Michael Crabtrees doing.
Crabtree has avoided the spotlight as best he
can since arriving in the NFL with huge expecta-
tions, albeit after a 71-day contract stalemate his
rookie season before he nally signed his con-
tract that October. By Oct. 25 at Houston, he had
cracked the starting lineup.
Crabtree, who has long had the reputation of
being a diva, was angrily confronted by Davis
during an early September practice two years ago
and then-coach Mike Singletary had to step
between them. There have been no such known
issues since, and Davis has supported him.
Crabtree had 72 receptions for 874 yards and
four touchdowns in 2011, helping the 49ers
return to the playoffs for the rst time in nine
years.
While he did miss a week of training camp this
summer, he was on the eld more than he had
been in any previous preseason because of
injuries.
Alex had a lot of criticism, too, but he never
paid any attention to that stuff. I know Crabtree is
the same way, Staley said. And I dont think the
criticism that he was getting was fair. I think it
was all perception. They called him a diva and
all that stuff. Thats never anything that people
who have been around him have ever thought.
Hes always been a guy thats been very, very
professional. He might not have had the success
he wanted early, but it wasnt because of that.

NHL cancels September
slate of preseason games
NEW YORK The NHL canceled its entire
September preseason game schedule on
Wednesday, the rst on-ice casualty of the four-
day lockout.
The league is wiping out all games through
Sept. 30, a move it deems necessary because of
the absence of a collective bargaining agree-
ment with the players' association.
The NHL also said the 2012 Kraft
Hockeyville preseason game, scheduled for Oct.
3 in Belleville, Ontario, has been postponed until
2013, bringing the total to 60 games called off
on Wednesday.
The regular season is scheduled to begin on
Oct. 11.
NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said
the league has no set policy on cancellations
of other games. Also Wednesday, a person famil-
iar with the plan says NHL employees at the
league ofces will switch to a four-day work
week Oct. 1 because of the lockout.
Sports brief

Marina Fraser voting against it.
Fraser, however, fully supported Measure K
in 2010 but the citys needs have changed
since then, she previously told the Daily
Journal. Ironically, current Vice Mayor Rick
Kowalczyk opposed Measure K but is now on
board with supporting Measure J.
He and Mayor Allan Alifano are leading the
charge in trying to get the measure passed.
Measure K barely lost in 2010 and Alifano
thinks a less burdensome tax with a three-year
sunset might be more palatable for Half Moon
Bay residents this year.
Opponents of Measure J, however, say the
city is not in the dire straits it says its in.
The city has already reduced cost signi-
cantly by contracting out services such as
police but still has capital needs, to the tune of
$1 million a year, that need to be addressed,
Alifano told the Daily Journal.
But George Gipe, one of the main oppo-
nents of Measure J, told the Daily Journal that
Half Moon Bay can cover its capital needs
within its current budget.
The city now has an operating surplus, Gipe
said, and can use grants and gas tax funds to
pay for any capital projects the city wants to
undertake.
Gipe also questions a city expenditure of
$450,000 to pay for a Emergency Operations
Center that he calls redundant.
Boosting sales tax also hurts the poor and
leads to higher unemployment, Gipe said.
The city got itself into a structural decit
after losing a court settlement over the
botched Beachwood development that is cost-
ing the city more than $1 million annually in
bond payments.
If that wasnt there, there would be no need
for a tax, Alifano said.
Business owners in town, Alifano said,
have expressed more favor toward Measure
J this year than they did for Measure K in
2010, Alifano said.
Weve done all the cutting. Now we need
to raise revenue, Alifano said.
The three-year tax will help the city with its
capital needs for the next three years and, after
that, the city may be able to generate money
from Beachwood, now called the Cabrillo
Highway properties, once it is sold in a few
years.
But Gipe contends the city has much more
money to spend on capital needs since it now
has an operating surplus of about $2 million.
The citys revenue is about $11.1 million
annually. It spent $12.2 million last year but
Gipe said those were one-time costs to the city
and that its actual expenditures are closer to
about $9 million.
Other tax sources, such as property, sales
and hotel, are on the rise, Gipe said.
The sales tax hike is totally unnecessary.
The situation is not dire enough to justify a tax
increase, he said.
Half Moon Bays current sales tax is one of
the highest in the region, he said.
The tax will also hurt local jobs, Gipe said.
The half-cent sales tax hike, if approved,
will bring in about $870,000 annually.
The city may want to consider selling off
surplus property to support capital projects,
Gipe said.
He also suggested the city can loan itself
money out of its sewer fund, if it really wants
to address capital needs.
The city needs to live within its means,
Gipe said.
Alifano said, however, that the citys capital
project costs could increase drastically if it
doesnt move toward addressing them now.
If we spend now, we can save later,
Alifano said.
If approved, the sales tax in Half Moon Bay
will rise to 8.75 percent. The tax needs a sim-
ple majority to pass.
The general election is Tuesday, Nov. 6.

pedestrians and bicyclists.
Rarback, a retired physicist, is running
because he had some run-ins with city staff in
the past and felt ignored when trying to weigh
in on a potential development about 10 years
ago.
It left a bad taste in my mouth, he said.
Now that he is retired, he feels he has the
time now to give back to the community.
Muller, known as Farmer John, touts his
decades of experience serving on regional
boards and wants to continue bringing the
citys expenses in line with its revenue.
Its not just two meetings a month. Its an
everyday job, Muller said.
Ullom is running because current coun-
cilmembers havent learned from their mis-
takes.
No one took the blame for the botched
Beachwood development that is costing the
city more than $1 million a year in bond pay-
ments, he said.
He also said the citys effort to pass a 1-
cent sales tax to keep from having to contract
out its police force was characterized by city
ofcials as a doom and gloom scenario.
Now they are taking credit for turning the
city around, Ullom said about the annual
$800,000 the city saves by contracting out
police services to the San Mateo County
Sheriffs Ofce.
He also said the city spends money on
things the city doesnt need such as the
$450,000 it spent for an Emergency
Operations Center that is currently little used.
Rarback, too, called that expense too cost-
ly.
It is redundant and a waste of money,
Rarback said.
But Fraser said the coastal city needs to be
prepared for potential disasters, such as a
tsunami, and that the expenditure is justied.
We need to continue to be prepared in the
event of an emergency, she said.
Fraser wants to bring some projects back to
life that sat idle while the city dealt with
Beachwood such as a facility for seniors.
The city had about 70 employees just a few
short years ago but that number has dwindled
to about 20 now as Half Moon Bay contracts
out many services it used to provide in house.
Weve restructured and reorganized the
city but there is still room to explore combin-
ing and sharing resources with other cities,
she said.
Rarback is especially upset with city of-
cials for not respecting the Coastal Act.
Recently, the city had to pay a more than
$400,000 settlement for doing work on the
coast for which it did not seek permits.
As far as future development in the city
goes, Fraser said, the city does not have a lot
of land left to develop.
The Beachwood property, now known as
the Cabrillo Highway properties, can one day
be sold to reap the city signicant money and
create housing opportunities.
Muller, however, thinks growth is a thing
of the past.
Future development, he said, would likely
be private property inll.
Ullom, however, thinks the city should
develop every piece of property it can.
We are on the edge, he said.
He suggests building high-density housing
for seniors since there are not enough jobs on
the coast to support family housing.
Tourism is one of the citys biggest revenue
generators and Muller wants to attract more
Bay Area residents to the coastal city.
Fraser agrees, saying the areas beautiful
beaches and small-town feel should be a
draw for staycations.
Ullom, too, wants the city to promote eco-
tourism.
Half Moon Bay is the premier destination
to ride a bicycle and we need to promote that
to the rest of the Bay Area, Ullom said.
Ulloms biggest issue with the council is
that none of its members have owned up to
their mistakes.
They need to take responsibility, he said.
Rarback is seeking more transparency from
the city.
We need to x the mistakes from our past
and clean house. Theres more to being a
good leader than just being well-liked, he
said about the current council.
The general election is Tuesday, Nov. 6.

Dog Days are time to unleash the pruners
By Sean Conway
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
By the time the Dog Days of summer arrive, the garden can
start to look just like the rest of us feel. Tired, worn out and
longing for a bit of cool, fresh air. In spite of my lack of desire
to work in the garden, I have learned from past years that
spending a little time cleaning up and cutting back not only
makes the garden look better, it makes me feel better!
Change can be hard to accept, and for most of us, abrupt
change is often the hardest. This is especially true in the gar-
den. Whenever a violent storm knocks over a tree in my yard
or sends a large limb crashing to the ground, I am in shock for
a few days afterward. I am usually at a loss about what to do
with the void, and it sometimes takes me quite some time to
gure out a plan of action.
On the other hand, gradual change in the landscape hardly
gets noticed. By September, many of the perennial plants in
my garden have been growing for nearly ve months. Many
have put on tremendous amounts of growth, bloomed, suffered
through heat and drought, and are now looking very bedrag-
gled.
The front walk to our house is a prime example. To the left
of the walk are two large American holly trees underplanted
with a carpet of English ivy. The ivy holds its leaves year-
round, and along with the holly it provides a nice bit of deep
green during the otherwise drab winter months.
To add seasonal interest during the spring and summer
months, I planted variegated petasites amongst the ivy.
Petasites is a hardy perennial plant with large, round leaves,
and is vigorous enough to compete with the ivy. The variegat-
ed form of this plant has splashes of creamy yellow markings
that provide a nice contrast to the dark green of the English
ivy.
Petasites loves the cool weather and begins its seasonal push
out of the ground with chartreuse owers that lie close to the
soil sometime in late March to early April. Following the ow-
ers, it sends up its leaves, and by mid summer it has had
enough of the heat. By early August, its leaves begin to brown
around the edges and often wilt during heat waves. Its exuber-
ant growth causes it to spread over the walkway to our front
door, forcing passers-by to the right side of the path.
About this time every summer, I have had enough of the pet-
asites. This week, despite the heat and my lack of motivation,
I decided it was time for it to go. After about 30 minutes wield-
ing my Felco pruners, the tired leaves were gone once again,
revealing the lush green ivy underneath.
The transition is remarkable, and it leaves me wondering
why I didnt do the deed sooner. I know it is because I had
gradually grown accustomed to the way the bed looked
until that fateful point when I couldnt stand it any more.
After a couple of weeks of shock, the petasites will begin to
grow back, this time with smaller, yet neater leaves that lie
closer to the ground. By then, the extreme high temperatures
will have passed and the plant will remain relatively good
looking well into fall.
Now that the most visible part of my garden is cleaned up
and looks so much better, it has me wondering what else might
need a little chop-chop-chop. No doubt, other areas have out-
grown themselves because I have slowly grown inured to their
decline. Until now.
September is high time to cut back exhausted plants in your garden.

By Ellen Gibson
For many families, the end of summer
means its time to put away the inatable kid-
die pools, camping equipment and gardening
tools for the season.
If you plan to shove this gear into arbitrary
piles around the edge of the garage, youre not
alone: Many Americans say the garage is the
most disorganized room in their home,
according to the International Association of
Business Organizing.
But a messy garage is not just unsightly, it
can cost you money. People with cluttered
garages tend to waste time searching for mis-
placed items and end up re-buying things they
already own, says Erica Ecker, a professional
organizer in New York City.
They also risk injury. Garages often hold
hedge trimmers, table saws, toxic chemicals
and other dangerous items alongside chil-
drens scooters and bikes.
An overstuffed garage puts your vehicles at
risk, too. When the car door cant swing open
without hitting a wheelbarrow or workbench,
it gets dented and dinged. Monica Ricci, a
professional organizer who makes appear-
ances on the HGTV show Mission:
Organization, says that in many homes,
garages are so lled with clutter they stop
serving their main purpose.
When your garage is too full to park a car
in, that expensive piece of machinery sits out
in the elements every day and night while
your clutter stays cozy and dry inside, Ricci
says. What kind of sense does that make?
Whether your garage is slightly disheveled
or looks more like an overstuffed storage unit,
the changeover to fall is an ideal time to give
it a tune-up using these steps from organiza-
tional experts:
Falls a good time to give the garage a tune-up
Just as you take the car in for an oil change every 5,000 miles, when you start to see clutter
accumulating, its time to do garage maintenance.
See GARAGE, Page 19
SUBURBAN LIVING 19
1. PREPARE. Tackling a junk-lled garage
is physically demanding. Ecker advises pac-
ing yourself and setting a schedule in advance.
Consider renting an outdoor storage container
so your belongings arent sitting in the drive-
way or in the house for a month while you n-
ish reorganizing the garage.
Enlist help. If you cant afford a profession-
al organizer, recruit relatives or offer to swap
labor with a friend who is planning a similar
household project. An assistant can help you
move heavy objects, keep you motivated and
ask objective questions (Do you really use
that?), says Ellen Kutner, who runs the com-
pany Simply Organized in Poughkeepsie,
N.Y.
2. EMPTY AND SORT. Empty the con-
tents of the garage out into the driveway and
begin sorting it into piles, grouping like things
together. Categories will vary by household,
but you may start with Sporting Equipment,
Tools, Hardware, Car Care, Lawn Care,
Seasonal, Toys and Household Goods.
3. PURGE. The next step paring down
your stuff is the most important. First, toss
anything broken or expired. Return borrowed
items to their owners. If you own multiples of
something, donate the duplicates or sell them.
Analyze how often things get used. Too often
the garage can be like a time capsule, Ricci
says. Are you storing camping equipment
from when your college-age kids were Cub
Scouts? Time to get rid of it.
Find ways to downsize bulky items. For
example, Ecker says, rather than storing most-
ly-empty paint cans for future touch-up jobs,
keep a mason jar-size container of each left-
over paint, labeled with the brand, color name
and nish. Being organized is not about
being neat and tidy, its about limits and
boundaries, Kutner says. You dont need to
stock everything you might one day need.
Thats why there are stores.
4. SPRUCE UP THE SPACE. While the
garage is bare, give it a thorough cleaning.
Kristin Long, who owns the company The
Organizational Specialists, recommends
adding durable oor tiles or a fresh coat of
paint. Making the garage more visually
appealing will inspire you to keep it tidy.
While youre at it, wipe down all the warm-
weather gear that is going to get stashed for
the next eight months.
5. BUILD UPWARD. Look at whats left
and gure out where it will live in the garage,
placing the most frequently used stuff in the
most accessible locations. Install shelving to
add vertical storage and get things off the
oor. Clear bins are best so you can see whats
inside. Ecker recommends the ELFA system
sold by The Container Store, saying its easy
to install and adjust. If youre feeling less
ambitious, the snap-together plastic shelves
sold at any big-box store work ne.
Use hooks to hang ladders, bikes, shovels
and rakes. Mount pegboard on the wall to
keep tools out of kids reach, and put danger-
ous substances like pesticides on high shelves.
The garage ceiling is underutilized, Ricci
says, but with a ceiling storage system such as
Hy-Loft, Racor Hydraulics Lifts or Onrax,
you can stash stuff you only access once or
twice a year, such as sleds or cushions for out-
door furniture.
If you do woodworking or crafts, metro
shelving on wheels gives you the exibility to
move supplies into the center of the garage or
driveway. Ecker recommends the Uline brand.
6. LABEL EVERYTHING. Label con-
tainers using a Sharpie or other permanent
method. Be sure to label the container, not the
shelf, so when bins get moved, items are still
put in the correct place, Long says.
7. MAINTAIN. An organizing project is
only as good as its upkeep, Kutner says. Just
as you take the car in for an oil change every
5,000 miles, when you start to see clutter
accumulating, its time to do garage mainte-
nance. If you buy something new, something
else has to go. When you take an item out to
use it, put it away immediately after youre
done.

example, School Loop is an online
resource that allows parents, teachers
and students to connect. When grades
are posted, students instantly attempt to
check School Loop. So, the teens put
that as the rst option for app users.
Accessing the schedule, which has
changed this year, is another popular
feature. Users have a spot to create a to-
do list or go onto an anonymous forum
to talk about classes.
From the analytics, the usage of the

parents and teachers alike can also

I actually think it can be very good
for the community. It will also be a
lower cost to the consumer, Merwin
said about the difference from receiving
care in an urgent care facility compared
to an emergency room.
Most people who use the ER in San
Mateo are really in need of urgent care,
he said.
The Mills standby emergency depart-
ment in San Mateo served about 34
patients a day in 2011, compared to
about 100 at Mills-Peninsula Medical
Center and up to 145 a day at San Mateo
County Medical Center, according to the
hospital. From midnight to 7 a.m., on
daily average, only one to three people
come to the standby ER for care, accord-
ing to the hospital.
But Patricia Lane, a nurse at Mills in
San Mateo, told the Daily Journal yes-
terday that the ER at Mills Health Center
serves a vital community need.
It is heavily used, Lane said. It will
clearly be impactful to seniors who
chose to live near the hospital.
Many people use the ER for primary
care, she said, bringing in their children
for pediatric care.
People are still brought to Mills with
acute conditions who then get sent to
Burlingame, she said.
Another nurse, Luchiana Kincer, who
works at the Burlingame campus said it
is another example of Sutter putting
money over care.
It will be sad for us to lose. Once it is
gone it will never come back, said
Kincer, a nurse for 37 years.
Sutter has already eliminated acute
rehabilitative services at the two cam-
puses, she said, and has contracted out
other services, such as dialysis, to pri-
vate companies.
Its a money game, she said.
However, she thinks the ER in San
Mateo should close since it has been
dumbed down over the years.
The Mills structure in San Mateo does
not meet the newest, most stringent
building codes that go into effect Jan. 1
and upgrading it is too costly, hospital
ofcials said.
A public hearing is scheduled next
week for public comment and hospital
ofcials met with San Mateo city of-
cials yesterday to discuss the closure and
have informed the local health care dis-
trict board of the decision.
The Peninsula Health Care District
board was made aware of this decision,
however, since this service is operating
out of Mills, the district board does not
have any oversight of that facility, nor
does it have any say in what services are
provided, the districts Chief Executive
Ofcer Cheryl Fama wrote the Daily
Journal in an email. Our district board
would denitely be involved in the deci-
sion-making had this been at the
Peninsula campus located on the dis-
tricts land and covered by the 50-year
master agreement between the district
and Sutter Health.
Generally, an emergency is a condi-
tion that may threaten a persons life or
cause impairment if treatment is
delayed. On the other hand, urgent care
can treat medical problems that, while
not emergencies, do require prompt care
within 24 hours, according to a hospital
statement.
The new urgent care center at Mills in
San Mateo will offer:
Diagnostic services including lab
and radiology;
Treatments such as IV uids and
medications, splinting and casting,
wound suturing, urgent minor surgical
procedures;
Respiratory therapy treatments;
Extended hours, 365 days a year; and
Urgent care for all patients, regard-
less of insurance type.
Standby emergency departments do
not care for critical emergencies. At
Mills-Peninsula, critical emergency care
has been provided exclusively at Mills-
Peninsula Medical Center in Burlingame
since 1997, when all acute inpatient care
was consolidated at that location.
Emergency surgery and other care
services required for treating critical
emergencies have not been provided at
Mills since the 1997 consolidation,
according to the hospital.
California Senate Bill 1953 requires
that, as of Jan. 1, 2013, all acute-care
hospitals in the state either retrot their
buildings to meet stricter standards or
discontinue acute care.
The San Mateo County Emergency
Services Department will host a public
hearing Thursday, Sept. 27, to allow
public comment on closure of the stand-
by emergency department at Mills
Health Center. The hearing is set for 5
p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in Room 100 of the San
Mateo County Health System at 225
37th Ave. in San Mateo.

Jimmy Kimmel rolls out
red carpet as Emmy host
LOS ANGELES After rolling out
the red carpet Wednesday morning in
anticipation of Sundays Emmy ceremo-
ny, host Jimmy Kimmel warned hes
planning a prank on folks not watching
the show.
I have an idea for a prank, and if it
goes well, will be great, the rst-time
Emmy host teased after ceremoniously
unraveling the red carpet. If it goes
badly, it wont be so great. I think it will
go well. If youre watching, youll be in
on it. If youre not, you might get caught
up in the prank.
Kimmel, whose Jimmy Kimmel
Live! received its rst nomination for
outstanding variety series this year, is
looking forward to seeing what TV stars
look like out of costume Sunday.
Theres certain shows you watch, like
Game of Thrones for instance, and you
see these people in their medieval fanta-
sy garb, Kimmel said. I dont know
what these people look like in real life.
Im kind of anxious about it. I want to
see the kid who
breast feeds his
mother. Thats who I
want to meet most of
all.
For the fth year,
the show will be held
at the Nokia Theatre
in downtown Los
Angeles. The mas-
sive red carpet
more like a red sidewalk, really will
canvass the entire plaza across the street
from the Staples Center for Sundays TV
extravaganza.
