In a year when students statewide showed
improvement in English and math skills, San
Mateo Countys schools overall exceeded
even those results, according to the California
Department of Education.
Of the approximately 4.7 million students
who took the 2012 Standardized Testing and
Reporting test, 57 percent scored procient or
above in English-language arts and 51 percent
scored procient or above in math the
highest percentages since the tests were fully
aligned in 2003 to state standards.
The STAR program assigns California stu-
dents one of ve performance levels in each
tested subject: advanced, procient, basic,
below basic and far below basic. Californias
target is for all students to score at the pro-
cient or advanced levels. The test is one of
three used to compile the Academic
Performance Index which measures whether
schools and districts are meeting the require-
ments of the federal No Child Left Behind
Act.
The data released Friday morning by the
California Department of Education is based
on California Standards Tests given to stu-
dents in spring 2012.
The ninth straight year of rising English and
math scores was lauded by education ofcials,
particularly in the face of school budget cuts.
In less than a decade, California has gone
from having only one student in three score
procient to better than one student in two,
State Superintendent Tom Torlakson said in a
prepared announcement of the results. Thats

SACRAMENTO The state
Legislature on Friday approved a
package of changes to Californias
public employee pension system
that is expected to save taxpayers
billions of dollars, even as
Republican lawmakers said much
more needs to be done to fix a sys-
tem with massive liabilities.
The main pension bill, AB340,
passed 49-8 in the Assembly and
38-1 in the state Senate. Gov. Jerry
Brown negotiated the reforms with
the Legislatures Democratic lead-
ership.
The legislation will increase the
retirement age
for new employ-
ees, eliminate
numerous abus-
es of the system
and require
workers who are
not contributing
half of their
retirement costs
to pay more.
Brown said he supports the legis-
lation even though it falls short of
the 12-point reform proposal he
offered last October.
This is the most far-reaching
pension reform in the history of
California, he told reporters

A person was accused of moving their

1600 block of Albemarle Way in
Burlingame before 12:34 p.m. on Thursday,
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A 50-year-old man facing eviction from his
Miramar landlady because she was fearful of
him pleaded not guilty to allegations he used
shots of vodka to set the carpet in his rented
room ablaze.
Lars Dohn Ehlers is charged with arson and,
after entering his Superior Court plea, set a
Dec. 17 jury trial date.
Prosecutors say Ehlers rented a room in the
400 block of Alameda
Avenue but his attitude
frightened his landlady.
Ehlers reportedly responded
to a three-day eviction
notice by sending threaten-
ing texts like You kicked
me out ... I can do lots of
things and, on July 6, set
the carpet in his room on
re. After deputies arrived
just before 11 p.m. that night they reported nd-
ing in his room a scorched patch of carpet, burn
marks on an adjacent deck and some lighter
uid. Ehlers initially claimed he was just bar-
becuing but later authorities gured out he
had used shots of vodka to ignite the carpet,
according to prosecutors.
There was no barbecue at the scene.
He remains in custody in lieu of $100,000
bail and returns to court Oct. 29 for a pretrial
conference.
Man impersonating
PG&E worker in Burlingame
A man apparently impersonating a PG&E
worker contacted a resident in Burlingame on
Thursday afternoon and asked to see her gas
meter, police said.
The incident was reported at 1:31 p.m. in
the 2200 block of Poppy Drive.
The resident answered her front door and
talked to a man who said he was a PG&E
worker checking for corrosion on her gas
meter, according to police.
When the homeowner asked the man for
identication, he showed her an old PG&E
document about gas pipeline upgrades, police
said.
The suspect, described as being about 5 feet
9 inches tall, 175 pounds with short, light
brown hair and blue or hazel eyes, was last
seen getting into a late-model black Chrysler
300 with dark tinted windows. He was wear-
ing a white hard hat with an orange stripe and
no identication on it, according to police.
Anyone who sees the suspect or suspect
vehicle, or who sees any suspicious activity in
their neighborhood, is asked to call
Burlingame police at (650) 777-4100.
Broken gas line capped
in San Mateo neighborhood
A gas leak in San Mateo was capped Friday
afternoon, according to PG&E.
The 1.25-inch service line at 1990 Elkhorn
Court was severed around 1 p.m. by a con-
tractor working with a backhoe in the area,
PG&E spokesman Joe Molica said.
San Mateo police and re responded and
ordered some evacuations in the area.
PG&E crews were on scene by 1:19 p.m.
and had the line capped by 1:46 p.m., Molica
said.
Utility work crews made nal repairs Friday
afternoon and no customers had their gas
service disrupted by the work, Molica said.
No injuries have been reported.
Arson defendant pleads not guilty to torching rented room
By Tracie Cone and Jason Dearen
FRESNO At least six rangers staffed
phones this week at Yosemite National Park
as visitors frightened about a growing out-
break of a deadly mouse-borne virus flooded
lines seeking answers.
More than 1,000 calls a day are coming
into the park, many from visitors wondering
if theyre in danger of contracting or being
exposed to hantavirus pulmonary syndrome,
park spokesman Scott Gediman said.
Were reaching out and they are reaching
out to us and we are trying in every way
shape and form to be transparent and forth-
right, Gediman said. We want to tell people
this is what we know. The most important
thing is the safety of park visitors and
employees.
On Thursday the California Department of
Public Health confirmed that a total of six
people have contracted the disease at
Yosemite, up from four suspected cases ear-
lier in the week. Two of those people have
died from the illness that can cause acute res-
piratory and organ failure.
As the busy Labor Day weekend launches,
some guests also are cancelling lodging
reservations at the park. But Gediman says
others on waiting lists for hard-to-get accom-
modations are snapping them up.
All six people who have contracted han-
tavirus stayed in Signature tent cabins in
the parks historic Curry Village in Yosemite
Valley, state health officials confirmed
Friday. They were there between mid-June
and early July.
The infections spurred park officials to
close 91 of the Signature cabins.
Park officials said the double-walled
design of those particular cabins made it easy
for mice to nest between the walls. The dis-
ease is carried in the feces, urine and saliva
of deer mice and other rodents.
The illness begins as flu-like symptoms but
can quickly affect the lungs. It can take up to
six weeks to incubate.
Warnings have gone out to visitors who
stayed in Curry Village in June, July or
August.

Obituary
By Cain Burdeu
and Michael Zelman
NEW ORLEANS Isaac
sloshed north into the central U.S.
on Friday after ooding stretches of
Louisiana and Mississippi and
knocking out power, leaving entire
water-logged neighborhoods with-
out lights, air conditioning or clean
water.
It will be a few days before the
soupy brown water recedes and peo-
ple forced out of ooded neighbor-
hoods can return home.
And the damage may not be done.
Ofcials were pumping water from
a reservoir to ease the pressure
behind an Isaac-stressed dam in
Mississippi on the Louisiana border.
In Arkansas, power lines were
downed and trees knocked over as
Isaac moved into the state.
The earthen dam on Lake
Tangipahoa could unleash a 17-foot
ood crest downstream in Louisiana
if it were to give way, which
prompted evacuations in small
towns and rural areas Thursday.
Officials released extra water
through the dam and were consider-
ing punching a hole in it to lower
the rain-swollen reservoir.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said
Friday that the Tangipahoa River
crested Thursday night and was
expected to go down by 2 feet
Saturday. He said Mississippis
work to alleviate pressure on the
dam appeared to be working.
So far, operations seem to be
proceeding as expected, and they
seem to be working, Jindal said.
Republican presidential nominee
Mitt Romney was headed to
Louisiana to tour the damage.
Romney scheduled a last-minute
visit Friday to Latte, La., with
Jindal. Latte was the site of rescue
efforts when Isaacs tidal surge
pushed in through the night
Wednesday and into Thursday.
Shortly after Romney said he
would visit Louisiana, White House
spokesman Jay Carney announced
that President Barack Obama would
visit the state Monday to examine
water and wind damage from Isaac.
In the Republican stronghold of
Jefferson Parish, Romney could
expect a friendly reception. One
Republican, Mike Townsend, 47,
said he was curious what Romney
will say about Isaac and approaches
to protecting the area.
I like his business sense,
Townsend said.
In Latte, Richard Riley, 45, was
pleased that Obama was coming to
Louisiana.
He needs to see the devastation
and allocate the money thats need-
ed to build new levees or do what-
ever is needed to protect us, Riley
said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITERS
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Harvard
University, whose motto Veritas
means truth, has never had a student
honor code in its nearly 400-year history
as far as it knows. But allegations
against 125 students for improperly col-
laborating on a take-home nal in the
spring are leading to renewed considera-
tion of the idea.
Though widely associated with col-
lege life, formal honor codes are hard to
implement and fairly rare on American
campuses. But some would argue theyre
especially important at places like
Harvard that are wellsprings of so many
future leaders in government and busi-
ness.
Cheating and plagiarism are serious
rule violations at Harvard, just like any-
where else. But Donald McCabe of
Rutgers University, an expert on aca-
demic cheating, puts the number of
schools that go beyond such rules with
some sort of formal honor code at no
more than about 100. Details vary, but
the commonalities are a pledge signed
and largely enforced by students
not to cheat. Some require students also
to report any cheating they witness.
At a few places, such as the military
academies, the University of Virginia and
some tradition-bound liberal arts col-
leges, honor codes extend far beyond
academic misconduct and cover any
lying and cheating. Many such schools
are clustered in the South. William &
Mary, in Virginia, claims to have had the
rst student honor code, dating to 1779 at
the behest of Thomas Jefferson, an alum-
nus and the state governor at the time.
You have surveys showing between
two-thirds and three-quarters of college
students cheat, and higher ed leaders
dont care, or at least not enough to do
anything about it, said David Callahan,
senior fellow at Demos, a think tank, and
author of the book The Cheating
Culture: Why More Americans Are
Doing Wrong to Get Ahead.
If cheating cost schools points in the
US News & World Report college rank-
ings, he joked, then youd see more
action.
Research dating back 40 years shows
lower rates of cheating on campuses
with honor codes in McCabes data,
the rate is about a quarter lower. Still,
such numbers show codes arent a
panacea, and he says they wont work
everywhere.
T
his week, the Bunker Hill
Parent Participation Nursery
School, in San Mateo,
announced the hiring of a new school
director, Margaret Thrupp.
Thrupp was named the schools new
director in June after longtime teacher
and former director Juliana Bruno relo-
cated with her family to Austin, Texas.
Thrupp comes to Bunker Hill with more
than a decade of co-op teaching experi-
ence, most recently with Playmates
Cooperative Nursery School located in
the Sunset District in San Francisco.
Originally from Australia, Thrupp
received her bachelors in music from
The Conservatorium of Music in
Sydney and was a music teacher for
more than 20 years. It was when her
own children started attending a co-op
nursery school in San Francisco, that
Thrupp was inspired to study early
childhood education, receiving her mas-
ters in elementary education in 2005.
Additionally, Thrupp is a professional
musician and has performed with local
groups in venues including the Sydney
Opera House, Carnegie Hall, Davies
Hall and in Europe and Japan. Thrupp
will begin the new school year with
Bunker Hills 60 students and their par-
ents Sept. 10.

In August, the Burlingame
Elementary School District announced
its policy for providing free and
reduced-price meals for children served
under the National School Lunch
Program. Each school and/or the cen-
tral ofce has a copy of the policy, which
may be reviewed by any interested party.
Application forms are also being distrib-
uted to all households with a letter
informing them of the availability of free
and reduced-price meals for enrolled
children.

Nearly 200 people were in attendance
at the Oracle Corporation Conference
Center to honor Attilio Tribuzi and the
San Mateo High School Music
Department Friday, Aug. 10. The bene-
t was a kickoff to raise $50,000 for the
music department to acquire new instru-
ments and uniforms for the San Mateo
marching band and color guard.
The afternoon was a celebration of
Tribuzis 20 years as music director at
San Mateo. The event was highlighted
by tributes and gifts presented to Tribuzi,
which included two original seats from
the demolished Performing Arts
Center where Tribuzi and his students
had performed and a handmade quilt
made of T-shirt fronts from SMHS musi-
cals and pep bands over the years. The
program included a surprise production
of Mr Ts own symphonic work,
Finale 1999, by an orchestra com-
prised of current and former students,
and directed by Hillsborough schools
music director Lester Chun and
Tribuzi. The benet was sponsored by
Oracle Charitable Giving, and was
held in Redwood Shores, as construction
continues at the San Mateo Performing
Art Center.

Astronauts, family mourn humble hero Armstrong
CINCINNATI Neil Armstrong was a humble hero who
saw himself as a team player and never capitalized on his
celebrity as the rst man to walk on the
moon, mourners said Friday outside a pri-
vate service attended by fellow space pio-
neers, including his two crewmates on the
historic Apollo 11 mission.
Hundreds of people attended a closed
service for Armstrong Friday at a private
club in suburban Cincinnati. A national
memorial service has been scheduled for
Sept. 12 in Washington, although no other
details have been released on the service or
burial plans for Armstrong. He died Saturday at age 82.
Among some 10 former astronauts attending Friday were
John Glenn and Armstrongs crew for the 1969 moon landing,
Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins.
Publisher of bin Laden book refuses to back down
WASHINGTON The publisher of an insider account of
the Navy SEAL raid that killed Osama bin Laden said Friday it
will begin public sales next week despite a Pentagon warning of
possible legal action against the books author and unspecied
associates.
At this time, we see no reason to change our plans, Christine
Ball, a spokeswoman for the publisher, Penguin Group (USA)s
Dutton imprint, said in a statement.
Before the Pentagons warning, Dutton had moved up publi-
cation to Sept. 4 from Sept. 11, saying that it was important to
put No Easy Day on sale and let the book speak for itself.

Man reported to be harassing young girls
Police are on the lookout for a man or men who, in two sep-
arate instances, acted suspiciously in front of teenage girls in
San Bruno and Burlingame Thursday afternoon.
The rst incident, in San Bruno, occurred on the 400 block
of Mastick Avenue at around 1:20 p.m. A 16-year-old girl was
walking down the street when a man in a blue, four-door sedan
pulled up next to her and made a rude gesture. He then asked
her to come over to his car. She ignored him and walked away.
The car was last seen going west on Taylor Avenue, according
to San Bruno police.
He is described as white, in his 40s, bald, clean-shaven and
wearing a light blue button-up shirt, according to San Bruno
police.
Burlingame police are also looking into a similar incident
that took place the same day at 3:55 p.m. in the area of Dwight
Road and Bayswater Avenue. A 13-year-old girl reported a
shiny, light-blue, four-door car pull up beside her. The driver
offered her cash and asked if she wanted to earn some money.
She declined and walked away from the area. The driver was
last seen driving west on Bayswater Avenue from Dwight
Road, according to police.
The man in this case is described as white, in his 30s, with
short blond hair and wearing black-framed dark glasses,
according to police.
Anyone with any information on these crimes is asked to
call the San Bruno police at 616-7100 or Burlingame police at
777-4100.

By Matt Apuzzo
WASHINGTON With America
embroiled in its longest armed con-
ict, Mitt Romney became the rst
Republican since 1952 to accept his
partys nomination without men-
tioning war.
Three election cycles after the
2001 terrorist attacks, neither
Romney nor his
running mate,
Rep. Paul Ryan,
had anything to
say about terror-
ism or war while
on their partys
biggest stage.
The only one
who did
Thursday was
actor Clint Eastwood, who won
cheers for suggesting invading
Afghanistan was a mistake and call-
ing for an immediate withdrawal of
troops a line that might have
earned boos and catcalls four years
ago.
The Romney strategy reects the
weak public support for the
Afghanistan war, fatigue over a
decade of terrorism fears and the
central role of the economy in the
campaign.
First since 52: No talk of war in GOP speech
LORDSTOWN, Ohio Vice
President Joe Biden mounted the
Democratic counterpoint to the
Republican presidential ticket
Friday, drawing attention to the
Obama administrations rescue of
the auto industry and portraying
GOP presidential challenger Mitt
Romney as a foe of government
efforts to save jobs.
Laying out President Barack
Obamas indict-
ment of
R e p u b l i c a n
polices, Biden
said that Rep.
Paul Ryan,
Romneys run-
ning mate, has
voted in
Congress for
measures that
caused massive federal debts,
including two wars, a prescription
drug benet and tax cuts for the
wealthy that were not paid for.
They call their plan new, bold
and gutsy, Biden told about 200
supporters in a union hall. There is
nothing gutsy about giving another
trillion dollars in tax cuts to million-
aires; there is nothing bold about
turning Medicare into a voucher
system. There is nothing bold about
kicking 19 million kids and elderly
off of Medicaid with no place else to
go.
Biden: Obama leadership saved auto plants
Clinton in South
Pacific with China in focus
RAROTONGA, Cook Islands
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton
on Friday
pledged renewed
American com-
mitment to secu-
rity in the Asia-
Pacific, where
tensions are ris-
ing between
China and its
smaller neigh-
bors over territorial disputes and
many nations face threats from cli-
mate change.
Speaking at a meeting of leaders of
South Pacic island nations, Clinton
said the United States would not
abandon its long history of protecting
maritime commerce in the region and
serving as a counterbalance to domi-
nation by any particular world power.
We have underwritten the securi-
ty that has made it possible for the
people of this region to trade and
travel freely, she said, noting nearly
a century of American military pres-
ence in the Asia-Pacic.
Israelis say U.N. report
strengthens Iran warnings
JERUSALEM Israeli ofcials
said on Friday that a new United
Nations report adds credibility to
their warnings about Iran, as tensions
grow between the Jewish state and its
allies over how to tackle Tehrans
suspect nuclear program.
The report by the U.N. nuclear
agency, which emerged on Thursday,
concluded that Iran had stepped up
the installation of centrifuges capable
of making weapons-grade material in
an underground bunker at its Fordo
underground facility, safe from most
aerial attacks.
The U.N. report also said Iran has
effectively shut down inspections of
a separate site the Parchin military
complex suspected of being used
for nuclear weapons-related experi-
ments, by shrouding it from spy
satellite view with a covering.

New governing board
for Sequoia Hospital
The $240 million price tag to
rebuild Sequoia Hospital into
an expanded seismically safe
campus was to be
split four ways
under a collabora-
tive funding pro-
posal that gave the medical
center $75 million from the
health care district and handed full respon-
sibility to operator Catholic Healthcare
West, it was announced the week of Aug.
31, 2007.
The Sequoia Hospital Board was set to
restructure its current 10-member board
composed of five representatives each from
CHW and the Sequoia Healthcare District.
In its place, the hospital board was to
appoint 12-15 community members, a few
of which may be district board members.

OPINION 9
Eroding
schools
The Press-Enterprise
M
eeting Californias
future school needs
requires a more strategic
approach than haphazard improvi-
sation. The Legislature needs to
create a clear long-range plan for
school construction and renovation.
And that program should ensure
that school facilities funding goes
to the areas of greatest need and
does not leave upkeep of existing
schools as an afterthought.
A report from the Center for
Cities and Schools at UC Berkeley,
released last month, sets out the
infrastructure challenge facing the
states public schools. California
taxpayers, through a combination
of state and local funding, have
invested $118 billion in school
facilities since 1998. But the report
projects that schools will require
about as much $117 billion
in infrastructure spending over the
next decade.
Meeting that daunting nancial
challenge will require a new focus
for local districts and the state, the
report notes. Over the past decade,
districts concentrated primarily on
building new classrooms to handle
increasing enrollment. But the next
decade will require a heavier
emphasis on renovating and repair-
ing existing structures.
The Legislature should start by
demanding a more effective
method for disbursing state school
construction money. State school
bond measures have generated
$35.4 billion for school facilities
since 1998. Yet the state distributes
that money with little sense of pri-
ority. California has no statewide
inventory of what buildings school
districts have or what they lack.
Rather than allocating the money to
give the greatest needs rst call, the
state offers school bond money on
a rst-come, rst-served basis.
Parceling out money in ignorance
delivers mindless, embarrassing
inequities. The state, for example,
settled a class-action lawsuit in
2004 by agreeing to spend $800
million to provide emergency
repairs to schools that lacked func-
tioning restrooms, adequate heating
and cooling and other amenities.
The state should have a better
funding approach than relying on
lawsuits to highlight deciencies.
And California needs to stop
pushing aside regular school main-
tenance. The UC Berkeley report
notes that nearly half of the pro-
jected school facilities need in the
next decade $53 billion is for
upkeep and repairs. Deferring such
regular care lets buildings deterio-
rate, making the eventual repairs
far more expensive.
Timely upkeep of school build-
ings, however, means that legisla-
tors need to get the state budget
under control. The states legisla-
tive analyst reports that districts
have been shifting money away
from maintenance to other needs to
cope with tight budgets. The state
has also provided only $338 mil-
lion of the $800 million it prom-
ised in 2004 for emergency repairs,
because the Legislature stopped the
payments to save money.
Arbitrary spending and short-
term thinking will not get
California the classrooms it needs.
Ensuring that the state has good
school facilities requires compre-
hensive, long-term planning.
Disorganized expedience is not an
acceptable substitute.
Letters to the editor
Poplar trafc
solution reevaluated
Editor,
Regarding the story, Poplar trafc
solutions reevaluated in the Aug. 29
edition of the Daily Journal, I own a
home on North Idaho Street on the
lovely 800 block. My neighbor-
hoods freeway access is from Poplar
and Peninsula ramps respectively.
The current effort to adjust the
Poplar ramp at southbound 101 is
surely needed, with accidents report-
ed (I have actually never seen one in
15 years) and a daily, two-block
backup on Poplar eastbound onto the
freeway. For those of us who use
those easternmost blocks of Poplar at
all hours, days and months, the issue
is quite clear: Trafc cannot proceed
onto the freeway as long as oncom-
ing exit trafc has the right of way to
turn left toward the DMV and the
jam-up is ripe for accidents.
In the several workshops, multiple
points were made (ever true in a pub-
lic setting). Staff has bent over back-
wards to work with Caltrans and hear
ancillary neighborhood issues but the
functional issue remains as above.
The right of way to turn left is odd
to most drivers (in fact some freeway
exiting trafc pauses before doing
so) and is hard to justify here.
Caltrans may nd it inconvenient to
provide a left turn pocket and stop
sign, or even a signal, but with most
trafc going straight off the freeway
it would not create a backup. Indeed,
when one can use Humbolt to go
south, there is less reason for trafc
to use the left onto Amphlett if it
now means waiting.
After eight years, an alternative
now being studied to rebuild the
(new) Peninsula interchange and
close Poplar is overkill, overreacting
and a poor use of limited funds. We
all have more pressing needs. City
Council, put the median on Poplar,
put a stop sign before the left turn
from the freeway exit onto Amphlett
and be done with this.

lars for some unrealistic plan that
sounds like itd been created by a
bunch of pot-smoking Californians.
May I suggest something better? Use
the money to build some desalination
plants in California and reduce our
reliance on water from the Sierras
and the Delta. I think even the pri-
vate sector would clamor to invest is
something like that. Of course the
greenies would rst have to allow
these ugly monstrosities to line the
coastline and pull pipelines through
the dunes. Hmm. Its never going to
happen!

Mitt Romneys tax haven
Editor,
Facts just the facts, sir.
A full 55 pages in Mitt Romneys
2010 tax returns were devoted to
explaining his transactions with for-
eign entities.
The media noticed Romneys
familiarity with foreign tax havens. A
$3 million Swiss account appeared in
his 2010 return. Soon his tax havens
became public knowledge, e.g.
Bermuda, Luxembourg, Cayman
Islands, where Romneys family
have assets, each with tagline Value
Not Disclosed in their tax returns.
Mr. and Mrs. Mitt Romney paid an
average tax rate of less than 15 per-
cent, substantially less than what
most middle income Americans pay.
Of course, the American public now
understands why Romney refuses to
disclose his tax returns of previous
years.

SB1234
Editor,
State Sen. De Leons plan,
SB1234, is simple: CalPERS is
broke, lets expand it! Rope more
people into paying for it, so we can
solve the immediate cash ow prob-
lem and insure that when it does go
bankrupt 10 years down the road, it
affects so many people that the state
has to bail it out.
Senator De Leon also forgets to
mention the 300-600 billion dollar
pension shortfall currently facing the
accounts managed by various public
agencies in the state. Who in their
right mind would want the same peo-
ple managing their retirement? So
the good senator will enroll people
automatically, hopefully they are too
busy working to watch their nest
eggs closely.
Maybe the state Legislature should
at least try to solve their existing
batch of problems rst.

MF Global scandal
Editor,
After 10 months of investigation,
the Department of Justice cant nd
what happened to more than $1 bil-
lion and they dont seem to care.
They can nd no conduct worthy of
prosecution at MF Global. When a
common citizen cant explain the
loss of a few dollars the hand of jus-
tice comes down hard. If you are
politically connected the rules are
different. Jon Corzine sat in front of
Congress and said he had no idea
where the money went. At that time
we were led to believe that the
Department of Justice would take
action. These are the same people
who cant tell us how the assault
weapons got to Mexican drug car-
tels.

Olympic spirit
Editor,
The 2012 Olympics delighted me,
with the joy and friendliness of so
many athletes from so many coun-
tries. They promoted more world
peace than the so-called United
Nations. With 7 billion people on a
crowded planet, many social and
political mists are not only
inevitable, but problematic, too.
May the Olympic spirit continue
every year!

Texas, the Confederate state
Editor,
Get this, some Republicans in
Texas want a tax raise. This is hard
to believe, but they feel the need in
case there is a Civil War if Obama is
re-elected. Maybe we should sell
Texas back to Mexico and make a
prot. It would solve two problems:
it would get rid of an excess of
ultra-right conservatives and reduce
the national debt. Abraham Lincoln
must be spinning in his grave about
how some of his Republican Party
is thinking about secession from the
Union.

Russias blackmail views
Editor,
Russia has sharply criticized as
overt blackmail the proposed new
U.S. sanctions against Iran. It seems
inconsistent that Russia sees t to
pose as the Wests moral guardian
while being chief arms supplier to
countries like Iran and Syria, and to
terrorist movements like Hezbollah
and Hamas.
The United States has had its fair
share of ill-advised military adven-
tures, but stopping a nuclear Iran is
a pretty good idea given the poten-
tial consequences of doing nothing.
For religious fanatics who brag
about their genocidal intentions,
blackmail seems tame given the
other choices.

Obamas foreign policy
Editor,
Many Democrat friends have
been disappointed in Obamas
domestic policies but have neglected
his foreign policy exploits. Some
Libyans, calling for Gadhas gov-
ernments ouster, clashed with secu-
rity forces in the countrys second-
largest city. The Bush administra-
tion had announced in 2006 that it
was restoring diplomatic ties with
Libya as a reward for Gadha's
decision to renounce terrorism and
abandon work on weapons of mass
destruction. Obama called for
Gadha to step down and used
NATO forces to help the rebels.
Libya is now run by an amorphous
bunch of Muslim rebels and Gadha
is dead.
The government of Egypt had
demonstrations that were called
search for democracy by our
White House. Mubarak who had a
long held a peace treaty with Israel
and reasonable relations with the
U.S. was told to step down by
Obama. The Muslim brotherhood
now controls Egypt and Mubarak is
being tried for treason.
Yemen, a former refueling station
for U.S. ships, had demonstrations
also with the call from Obama for
the leader to step down. The leader
was replaced and war continues
there. President Obama also called
for the pro-western, Christian long-
time Ivory Coast leader to immedi-
ately leave power when challenged
by the Muslim opponent since the
countrys election was disputed.
The Middle East is now mostly a
Muslim tinderbox with Iran about to
get weapons of mass destruction,
and Obama is boasting about his
foreign policy prowess and Nobel
Peace Prize.

Why read the fine print when booking hotels?
NEW YORK The next time you book a hotel room,
read the ne print rst.
New fees and novel freebies continue to pop up on hotel
bills. Knowing whats included and what youre willing to
pay for can make a big difference when it comes time to
settle the bill.
More hotels are now charging for in-room internet access
while others are providing free computers in the lobby, cof-
fee in the room and even breakfast. Some downtown hotels
have gone so far as to add airport shuttles, aiming to steal
business from properties closer to the terminal.
Often, budget hotels include more freebies while higher-
end lodgings offer fewer.
Five-star lodgings feel their customers can pay for it.
Theyre either on an expense account or have the wherewith-
al with disposable income, says Joseph A. McInerney, pres-
ident of the American Hotel and Lodging Association, the
industrys trade group.
The ndings are part of a survey by travel research rm
STR on behalf of the lodging association. STR contacted the
52,155 hotels in America and heard back from 23 percent.
California to seek sales tax from online retailers
SACRAMENTO California will hire dozens of spe-
cialists to enforce a new law requiring Internet merchants to
collect state sales tax an effort that could bring in more
than $300 million a year for the cash-strapped state.
The state Board of Equalization, which collects taxes,
announced Thursday that it will spend $10 million over the
next three years to hire nearly 100 new state auditors,
lawyers and other specialists for the effort.
Many online retailers based out of state, including Seattles
Amazon.com, had avoided adding state sales taxes to their
prices because they had no business operations on the
ground.
Brick-and-mortar stores, who must collect taxes of up to
9.75 percent, had long argued that was unfair competition.
A new law passed last year as a compromise with
Amazon.com expands the state sales tax requirement.
Business briefs
By Joshua Freed
It took a while, but investors eventual-
ly decided they liked what they heard
from Ben Bernanke, and stock indexes
rose enough on Friday to put them into
positive territory for August.
Stocks gyrated after the Federal
Reserve chairman spoke on Friday
morning. They rst gave up their morn-
ing gains, then bolted to their highs for
the day, before settled in-between.
The Dow Jones industrial average
ended the day up 90.13 points at
13,090.84.
A half-hour after trading began,
Bernanke declared that the Fed is ready
to take more action to help an economy
thats far from satisfactory.
Investors have been watching to see
whether the Fed will buy more bonds to
further lower long-term interest rates.
Stocks fell initially, however, after it
became clear that no such announcement
was coming Friday and that Bernanke
had stopped short of committing the Fed
to any specic move.
Still, he said the Fed should not rule
out new policies to improve the job
market.
Stocks rebounded once investors
parsed his comments. At one point the
Dow was up as many as 151 points.
In terms of volatility, its been the
most action weve seen in couple of
weeks, said Ryan Larson, a senior equi-
ty trader at RBC Global Asset
Management. He noted that pre-Labor
Day volume was light, with many
investors and traders on vacation, which
can contribute to bigger price swings.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
closed up by 7.10 points at 1,406.58. The
Nasdaq rose 18.25 points to close at
3,066.96.
The Dow nished the month of August
up by 0.8 percent. The S&P 500 rose
more than 2 percent for the month, and
the Nasdaq rose more than 4 percent.
Investors looking for help from the
Federal Reserve may only have one
more chance before the election, said
Frank Fantozzi, CEO of Planned
Financial Services in Cleveland. The
Feds policy-making arm meets on Sept.
13. If it doesnt announce some form of
stimulus then, it probably wont until
after the election, he said.
Hes waiting until the last possible
minute, Fantozzi said of Bernanke. I
think in the next two weeks theyre
going to really digest the economic data
and say, Ok, do we get involved or
not?

Big movers
By Paul Wiseman
JACKSON HOLE, Wyo.
Chairman Ben Bernanke sent a clear
message Friday that the Federal Reserve
will do more to help the still-struggling
U.S. economy.
His remarks seemed to leave two
questions: What exactly will the Fed do?
And when?
Bernanke described the U.S. econo-
mys health as far from satisfactory
and noted that the unemployment rate,
now 8.3 percent, hasnt declined since
January.
He stopped short of committing the
Fed to any specic move. But in his
speech to an annual Fed conference in
Jackson Hole, Wyo., Bernanke said that
even with interest rates already at super-
lows, the Fed can do more.
He acknowledged critics arguments
that further Fed action could fan ina-
tion and inject other risks. Yet after rais-
ing such arguments, Bernanke proceed-
ed to knock them
down.
Some economists
predict the Fed will
unveil some bold
new step as soon as
its Sept. 12-13 meet-
ing, possibly a third
round of bond pur-
chases meant to
lower long-term
interest rates and encourage more bor-
rowing and spending. That policy is
called quantitative easing, or QE.
In two rounds of QE, the Fed bought
more than $2 trillion of Treasury bonds
and mortgage-backed securities. Many
investors have been hoping for a third
round a QE3.
Bernanke has taken a further step
along the path to more policy stimulus,
most likely a third round of asset pur-
chases (QE3) to be announced at the
mid-September FOMC meeting, said
Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at
Capital Economics.
Others expect something less dramat-
ic: a plan to keep short-term rates near
zero into 2015 unless the economy
improves, perhaps followed by bond
purchases later.
In his speech, Bernanke assessed the
economys weaknesses, defended the
extraordinary steps the Fed has taken to
date and insisted it can do more.
Investors took time to digest
Bernankes speech but in the end seemed
pleased. After his remarks were released
at 10 a.m. Eastern time, the Dow Jones
industrial average shed some of its earli-
er gains. Then it rose more than 100
points. It closed up nearly 91 points, or
0.7 percent.
Bernanke acknowledged that the Fed
is operating in essentially uncharted ter-
ritory.
Traditionally, central banks stimulate
weak economies by pushing down short-
term rates. In December 2008, the Fed
slashed such rates to record lows. Yet
even with short-term rates as low as they
can go, the economy still needs help.

TOKYO A Tokyo court on Friday
dismissed Apple Inc.s claim that
Samsung had infringed on its patent
the latest ruling in the global legal battle
between the two technology titans over
smartphones.
The Japanese court case addressed
only the synchronizing technology that
allows media players to share data with
personal computers and was not compa-
rable in scope to the much larger victory
that Apple won in the U.S. last week.
Samsung Electronics Co. of South
Korea, the worlds largest maker of
phones, welcomed the Tokyo District
Court ruling that its technology that
allows media players and personal com-
puters to share music les and other con-
tent did not infringe on Apple patents as
conrming our long-held position.
We will continue to offer highly
innovative products to consumers, and
continue our contributions toward the
mobile industrys development, the
company said in a statement.
The Apple lawyer present at the court-
house declined comment, and the com-
pany said later it had no comment,
including whether it intended to appeal.
In the past, Apple has accused Samsung
of copying Apple products.
In a session lasting just a few minutes,
Judge Tamotsu Shoji said he did not
think Samsung products fell into the
realm of Apple technology and dis-
missed the lawsuit, led by Apple in
August last year.
Apple, the Cupertino, California-
based maker of the hit iPhone and iPad,
is embroiled in similar legal tussles
around the world over whether Samsung
smartphones, which rely on Google
Inc.s Android technology, illegally used
Apple designs, ideas or technology.
Tokyo court: Samsung didnt infringe Apple patent

NEW YORK American Airlines
and US Airways are one step closer to a
potential merger.
The companies said Friday they have
started condential merger talks. But a
deal is still far from reality.
It does not mean we are merging it
simply means we have agreed to work
together to discuss and analyze a poten-
tial merger, US Airways CEO Doug
Parker said in a letter to employees
Friday.
Such a merger would put the com-
bined airline on par with the worlds
largest United Continental Holdings
Inc. and the slightly smaller Delta
Air Lines. Its position as the No. 1 or
No. 2 airline in the world, based on how
many miles its passengers y, would
depend on how many routes anti-trust
regulators force the combined airline to
abandon.
Many industry experts say the only
way American and US Airways can
compete with larger rivals is by merging
their strengths. US Airways would gain
Americans lucrative international routes
while Americans larger hubs would be
fed passengers from US Airways net-
work in smaller U.S. cities.
American, US Airways one step closer to merger

TURNING OVER A NEW LEAF: RAIDERS HOPES NEW REGIME TRANSLATES TO MORE WINS >>> PAGE 12
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Mike Krieger Era at Mills got off to a
bizzare start as the Vikings football team
opened its season with a 14-14 tie against vis-
iting Galileo-San Francisco Friday afternoon
in Millbrae.
Tying did not cross my mind. The fashion
in which we tied was very disappointing,
Krieger said. The good news is, we didnt
lose. The bad news is, we didnt win.
While the game had plenty of what one
would expect in the season opener sloppy
play, missed tackles, a plethora of penalties
and less-than-perfect execution it also fea-
tured events one doesnt normally see.
How about three touchdowns called back?
Or, two missed eld goals in the nal 20 sec-
onds of the game, either of which would have
given either team the win?
But thats how Friday season opener went
down. With the score tied a 14, Mills took
over on its own 14 and drove down to the
Galileo 14, where the drive stalled. The
Vikings lined up for a 31-yard eld attempt,
but Victor Beglitsoff missed the kick wide
left.
Its hard to blame Beglitsoff, however. A
few plays before his attempt, he caught a 28-
yard pass down to the Lions 18, but missed
the next four plays with leg cramps.
After picking up nine more yards and being
pushed back ve because of false-start penal-
ty, Krieger called timeout in an attempt to get
Beglitsoff as ready as possible.
We were trying to use the clock and our
kicker was the guy with the cramps, Krieger
said.
That was just the beginning of a strange
ending, however. With 20 seconds left,
Galileo took possession on its own 20-yard
line. Dontell Jackson, who nished with 142
yards rushing on 13 carries, ripped off a 30-
yard gain to midfield. A late-hit penalty
against Mills tacked on 15 more and with ve
Mills battles Galileo to a stalemate

SanMateos Larry Cambell is dragged down by a Gunn defender during a 14-6 loss.Campbell
caught seven passes for 145 yards and a touchdown.
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
While the rst game of the season usually
produces a laundry list of possible improve-
ments at the end of 48 minutes for any team,
the priority for San Mateo High School is sim-
ple: protect the football.
The 2012 season for the Bearcats began
with a 14-6 loss to Gunn of Palo Alto in a
game that was pretty evenly matched for the
most part.
But it doesnt take a football genius to spot
the eight-point difference. San Mateo lost the
turnover battle 2-0 on Friday. The fumble and
the interception came at times when the
Bearcats had built a good rhythm. The latter
came with just over three minutes left in the
ballgame and San Mateo driving for the possi-
ble game-tying touchdown.
Those turnovers gave us a sense of adver-
sity, said San Mateo head coach Jeff Scheller.
But more than that, I think it was our lack of
execution on the big plays on defense. Its still
an early preseason game. But this is how you
learn and how you get better.
The scoreboard and turnover battle aside,
San Mateos start to the season is the complete
opposite of last year when Aragon thrashed
the Bearcats defense to the tune of 50 points.
While moral victories dont show up in the
standings, it would appear the Bearcats have
taken a step in the right direction.
Im still encouraged by what we have
here, Scheller said.
Gunn moved the ball effectively on the
games opening drive. After going 11 plays
and chopping six-plus minutes off the clock,
San Mateo stepped up and stalled the drive at
the 5-yard line.
Five plays later, the Bearcats struck for their
lone touchdown of the game by giving
Peninsula Athletic League fans their rst real
look at Larry Campbell as the premiere
weapon of the San Mateo offense.
Campbell turned a simple 8-yard slant into
a 95-yard touchdown pitch and catch. He
broke a pair of tackles before seeing a bunch
of green turf in front of him and taking off to
score. A missed extra point made it 6-0.
Bearcats come up short

CHICAGO The San Francisco Giants are
used to a difcult travel schedule, playing on
the West Coast.
Moving from an indoor eld to the muggy
Midwest is another matter altogether.
Buster Posey had three hits and three RBIs,
but Madison Bumgarner lasted just four
innings and the Giants lost 6-4 to the Chicago
Cubs on Friday.
The Giants rallied for an 8-4 victory in
Houston on Thursday night, then arrived in
Chicago around 3 a.m. They mostly stayed in
the visitors clubhouse while the Cubs took
batting practice, but they looked listless for
much of the seamy afternoon at Wrigley Field.
You play indoors in AC, come in at 3, 3:30
in the morning, manager Bruce Bochy said.
And its not just the heat, its how humid it is
out there. Its a tough day. Guys were battling
back. Fighting back and get the tying run up
there. Just couldnt quite get it done.
It was still quite a month for San Francisco
(74-58), which went 18-11 in August to
increase its NL West lead over the Los
Angeles Dodgers. It was the most victories for
the Giants in a single month since they had 18
in September 2010, and they went on to win
the World Series that year.
Were all playing with a lot of condence
right now, Posey said. This is a fun time of
year. This is the time of year you work so hard
for. Its a fun time, and I feel like guys are
coming to the ballpark excited each day and
looking forward to getting out there and com-
peting.
Alfonso Soriano hit a two-run homer and
nished with three RBIs as Chicago (51-80)
closed out a miserable August with a second
consecutive win. The Cubs, practically locked
into fth place in the NL Central, are hoping
to avoid their rst 100-loss season since 1966.
I know its something that I dont want to
be a part of, said Anthony Rizzo, who hit a

Cubs 6, Giants 4

STANFORD Jordan Williamson kicked a
career-long 46-yard eld goal and the go-
ahead score from 20 yards, and No. 21
Stanford survived a 20-17 win over San Jose
State on Friday night in its rst game since
Andrew Luck left.
Former backup Josh Nunes threw for 125
yards and a touchdown in his rst start in place
of Luck, the No. 1 overall draft pick. But the
redshirt junior struggled to move the offense
when it counted and it almost cost the Cardinal
(1-0) dearly.
The David Fales-Blake Jurich quarterback
combo gave Stanford fits until DeLeon
Eskridge fumbled in Spartans (0-1) territory
late in the third quarter. That set up
Williamsons tiebreaking kick, giving the red-
shirt sophomore who missed three eld goals
in a 41-38 loss to Oklahoma State in the Fiesta
Bowl a small stroke of redemption.
Nunes nished 16 for 26 with no intercep-
tions. Fales threw for 216 yards with one
touchdown and an interception that landed in
the hands of Ed Reynolds to seal Stanfords
win in the nal minutes. Jurich ran for 32
yards and a score.
The ght Stanford showed so many times
behind Luck disappeared.
With the two-time Heisman Trophy winner
now with the Indianapolis Colts, the Cardinal
converted only 2 of 2 third downs (although it
was 2 for 3 on fourth downs) and allowed the
Spartans to move methodically at times down
the eld. San Jose State outgained Stanford
288 to 280 total yards.
Stanford beat San Jose State 57-3 last year
and has won ve straight meetings.
Stepfan Taylor, who nished with 116 yards
rushing, ran for 38 yards almost untouched
until a defender tackled him on the games rst
drive. Remound Wright converted a fourth-
and-1 from the 10-yard line, and Taylor dived
over the pile for a 1-yard TD on fourth down
to give Stanford a 7-0 lead.
The Cardinal followed the 13-play, 81-yard
drive with a quick three-and-out by the
defense. Nunes quickly led Stanford down
eld and tossed a perfect ball in the corner on
a stop-and-go route by Drew Terrell for an 11-
yard score and his rst career touchdown pass.
No. 21 Stanford holds on to beat San Jose State

OAKLAND The rst offseason for the
Oakland Raiders since the death of longtime
owner and architect Al Davis was one full of
changes.
A general manager was brought on board to
run the football operations, the team hired its
rst defensive-minded coach since the 1970s
and there was a signicant roster shake-up as
the new regime tried to rectify mistakes that
led one of the leagues most storied franchis-
es into a lost decade.
General manager Reggie McKenzie and
coach Dennis Allen were widely praised for
their overhaul. Now they get to nd out if the
changes in the organization lead to changes in
results as the Raiders try to end a nine-year
stretch without a winning season or playoff
berth.
We respect what Mr. Davis was able to do
here, the brand he created with this organiza-
tion, Allen said. Were going to do it our
way. Thats the only way we know how to do
it. Reggie and I have a plan and we hope to
have success doing it that way.
Davis way that was once so successful,
leading to three Super Bowl trophies and 16
division titles in his rst 40 seasons, had not
worked of late. During this current nine-year
run, the Raiders have gone through six coach-
es, four last-place nishes and a number of
embarrassing moments
that tarnished Davis lega-
cy before his death last
October. That led to
Davis son, Mark, hiring
McKenzie to oversee the
football side of the fran-
chise. He immediately
red bombastic coach Hue
Jackson and replaced him
with Allen, who has won
over his players with his attention to detail
that they hope will lead to more success.
It is different, defensive tackle Tommy
Kelly said. Everything is detailed.
Everythings got a plan to it. Its not just wait
a minute and well nd out. You know every-
thing. You know what youve got to do, down
to the second.
Despite a bloated salary cap and a paucity
of draft picks, the new regime did not inherit
a bare cupboard upon taking over, providing
hope in the organization that the rebuilding
can happen quickly.
Darren McFadden has proven to be one of
the most dangerous running backs in the
league the past two seasons when healthy.
Quarterback Carson Palmer came off the
couch a year ago in a bold trade by Jackson
and showed signs of being the topight pass-
er he was just a few years ago in Cincinnati.
Palmer should be even better this season after
a full offseason to learn the offense and build
a rapport with speedy
receivers like Denarius
Moore, Darrius Heyward-
Bey and Jacoby Ford.
The defense features an
imposing line led by
Richard Seymour and
Tommy Kelly and versa-
tile safeties in Tyvon
Branch and Michael Huff.
Then theres perhaps the
top pair of specialists in
punter Shane Lechler and kicker Sebastian
Janikowski.
So the task for Allen and his staff is to turn
that talent into a winning team.
The perception was just of a team that was
extremely talented but lacked discipline,
backup quarterback Matt Leinart said. Thats
kind of what everyone said, Hey, guys, were
playing the Raiders this week. Theyre going
to get cheap penalties, so make sure you dont
retaliate. But the talent was never questioned.
Coach Allen and Reggie McKenzie, with the
new regime, were going to cut down the
penalties, were going to cut down the
turnovers, were going to play together as a
team.
While the offense gures to look a little dif-
ferent with a zone running scheme and more
bootlegs and rollouts by the quarterbacks, the
real difference will be on defense. Davis over-
saw that side of the ball for most of his tenure,
often hand-picking the defensive coordinators
for his offensive-minded coaches.
The Raiders almost exclusively played tight
man-to-man coverage on the outside, with a
four-man line to pressure the quarterback and
one safety deep in the secondary. Now Allen
and coordinator Jason Tarver are mixing dif-
ferent fronts, different coverages and all sorts
of blitzes that the Raiders hope will confuse
teams that used to know exactly what to pre-
pare for against Oakland.
Thats the one thing with this defense. You
never know what youre going to get, safety
Michael Huff said. It puts people in position
to make plays. And it is up to us to make the
play.
Kelly said the constant harping about being
disciplined and playing with the proper tech-
nique is already paying dividends. He said the
Raiders are tackling better in the preseason
than they have in his rst eight seasons in the
league and might nally be able to conquer
the penalty bug that has plagued the team for
years.
Allen knows the true test begins Sept. 10
against San Diego.
To win in the National Football League
youve got to learn how to not beat your-
selves, he said. Thats one of the things that
causes you to lose football games. Its my job
to get them to understand that, and then at the
end of the day its the players jobs to make
sure they get it corrected.

OAKLAND Brandon Moss had career
highs of four hits, four RBIs and four runs,
Josh Reddick hit his rst career grand slam,
and the Oakland Athletics routed the Boston
Red Sox 20-2 on Friday night to match their
best winning streak of the season at seven.
Josh Donaldson homered for the third
straight game with a two-run shot and Moss
also had a two-run drive to go with a pair of
RBI doubles to help back Brandon McCarthy
(8-5) with a season high in runs. Reddick con-
nected for his 28th homer in the seventh off
Mark Melancon as the As scored their most
runs since a 23-2 win against Texas on Sept.
30, 2000. They handed the Red Sox their most
lopsided loss since a 22-1 defeat to the
Yankees on Jun 19, 2000.
The As had a season-best 19 hits and scored
20 runs for the fourth time in Oakland history,
while Boston allowed 20 for the rst time
since Aug. 21, 2009, against the Yankees.
George Kottaras had his rst career two-
homer game with a two-run drive and a solo
shot for Oakland (74-57), which matched its
win total from 2011 and wrapped up an 18-10
August. The As hit a season-high ve home
runs a day after getting four at Cleveland.
Oaklands nine-run seventh inning was the
clubs biggest since a nine-run frame last July
27 against Tampa Bay.
Jonny Gomes drove in two runs on a night
he helped honor the Little League World
Series players from his hometown of
Petaluma in Northern Californias wine coun-
try.
Donaldson added his third RBI on an error
in the seventh, but was lifted for pinch-runner
Adam Rosales at third after an apparent injury.
McCarthy won back-to-back starts for the
rst time since June, and its good timing with
the As leading Baltimore by a game in the AL
wild-card race heading into the nal month.
The right-hander missed all of July while on
the disabled list for a second time this year
nursing a strained throwing shoulder.
Donaldson connected for his fth home run
of the year in Oaklands four-run second
against Aaron Cook (3-8), who also surren-
dered an RBI double to Moss and run-scoring
single by Gomes during the inning.
Cooks night was over after just 2 2-3
innings to match his shortest outing of the sea-
son. The right-hander was tagged for six runs
and seven hits and fell to 0-3 over his last four
starts.

NEW YORK NHL labor negotiations hit a standstill after
talks broke off on Friday, two weeks before the league has
threatened to lock out its players.
NHL Players Association executive director Don Fehr
announced that the NHL asked that talks be recessed after
the union presented its latest proposal during negotiations held
at the leagues headquarters in New York.
Fehr said the unions latest proposal did not bear fruit.
The NHLPAs latest offer came three days after the NHL
made its rst counterproposal. After asking the players to cut
their share of hockey revenue from 57 to 43 percent, the NHL
upped its proposal to have the players get a 46 percent share
over a six-year deal.
The two sides took a break from talks on Thursday after the
union said it was preparing a counterproposal.
The current CBA expires on Sept. 15, with the NHL already
saying its prepared to lock out its players if no deal is reached
by then. The NHL regular season is scheduled to open Oct. 11,
but that date is now in jeopardy.
The two sides were scheduled to continue negotiations in
New York next week, but the status of those talks are now
uncertain.
NHL breaks off talks after unions latest offer

BERKELEY Coach Jeff Tedford has
longed for state-of-the-art facilities and a mod-
ernized stadium ever since arriving at California
more than a decade ago.
After 21 months as college football nomads
with trailers for ofces, a rugby eld for prac-
tice and a baseball eld for home games, the
Golden Bears nally have everything Tedford
wanted.
They open their remodeled Memorial
Stadium on Saturday against Nevada, eager to
show off the $321 million seismic retrot and
renovation that gives the Bears top-notch facili-
ties that the team wants to match with improved
play on the eld.
This is all great. Everything we have here is
awesome but its about performance on the
eld, Tedford said. All the facilities and things
are not going to win games for us. What we
have to do is we have to prepare, we have to
execute, we have to play smart, we have to be
disciplined. We have to do all the things to win
games. It still comes down to playing. What
goes on between the lines is the most important
thing.
The Bears are expecting a sellout crowd for
their rst on-campus home game since
November 2010 after playing last season across
the bay at the San Francisco Giants home of
AT&T Park.
Were all really excited. Were back home,
center Brian Schwenke said. Im expecting it
to be loud. Im excited. I cant wait. I dont
think all our fans made it out to San Francisco.
It will be cool having them all back here.
They will all be hoping for a better season
than theyve seen in recent years. After a prom-
ising start to his tenure at Cal that transformed
the program from conference doormat to a
perennial challenger to Southern California, the
Bears have been mired in mediocrity in recent
seasons.
Cal has just a 36-28 record the past ve sea-
sons, including a losing mark of 21-24 in the
conference. Even worse, the Bears have fallen
behind rival Stanford in the Pac-12 pecking
order and have not competed for a conference
title since 2006.
But now with the new stadium attached to a
$150 million High Performance Center, there
are no more excuses for the lack of winning at
Cal.
You want to be back to challenging for the
conference championship. Thats what the goal
is and be at a national level, Tedford said. The
facilities are not going to win you games.
Facilities are going to provide a place for you to
train and things like that and over time should
have a positive effect on recruiting. Typically,
better recruiting equals better success on the
eld.
Cal is hoping for better success already this
season with quarterback Zach Maynard return-
ing for his second season as starter, Keenan
Allen back as one of the countrys most dan-
gerous receivers, a talented running duo of Isi
Sofele and C.J. Anderson and a potentially
strong defense.
The rst test comes against a Wolf Pack team
that dealt the Bears a 52-31 loss in Reno two
years ago when Cal had no answer for Colin
Kaepernick and the pistol offense that ran for
316 yards.
While Kaepernick is in the NFL with the San
Francisco 49ers, the Bears feel this years
starter, Cody Fajardo, could be just as danger-
ous.
It wasnt what they did. It was mostly on our
end just people not being in their gaps and not
doing what theyre supposed to do, cornerback
Marc Anthony said. Were really focusing on
technique and being where were supposed to
be and having good eyes.
Fajardo was the WAC freshman of the year
last season when he threw for 1,707 yards, ran
for 694 and accounted for 17 touchdowns as he
helped lead the Wolf Pack to a seventh straight
bowl game.
Coach Chris Ault expects Fajardo to be even
better in his second season as starter.
Cody having the experience of last year cer-
tainly gives us a presence in our offense in
terms of what we want to do and what we might
be capable of doing, Ault said.
This is a big season for the Wolf Pack, who
are playing their rst year in the Mountain West
after leaving the WAC.
Cal opens stadium, season against Nevada
Oregon high school
team to play on black turf
SALEM, Ore. Boise State is known for
its blue football field, and at Eastern
Washington University its red.
Now, at West Salem High School in
Oregons Willamette Valley, the old green turf
has been replaced with a new hue: black.
The eld is so striking that it has quickly
been nicknamed The Black Hole.
The Salem Statesman Journal
(http://is.gd/TiauKZ ) reports that workers n-
ished installing the turf Thursday. West Salem
hosts South Medford on Friday night.
An executive for FieldTurf says its the only
black eld the company has sold. Marketing
Vice President Darren Gill says the company
is promoting color elds, and other schools
are considering the likes of maroon and bur-
gundy even white.

Fan falls to death at Texans stadium in Houston
HOUSTON A 25-year-old fan died after tumbling about 60
feet from a fth-oor escalator at the Reliant Stadium during a pre-
season Houston Texans game, ofcials said Friday.
The man fell to the ground oor during Thursday nights clash
against the Minnesota Vikings, and frantic witnesses called police
over to where his body had landed, Police Department spokesman
John Cannon said. He later died at a Houston hospital.
Authorities cannot identify the man until his family has been
informed, Cannon said, adding that police are investigating what
appears to have been an accidental fall.
Mark Miller, the general manager of SMG-Reliant Park where
the stadium is located, said the man was traveling down from the

them in the safest possible manner, Miller said.
The bank of elevators in the northeast corner of the stadium

Gunn and the Bearcats went back and forth
for a couple of drives although the Titans
squandered a pair of big passes that were sure-
re homerun-type plays. Gunn kept at it,
mostly pestering the San Mateo secondary.
Whatever Gunn saw there, it exploited. A big
40-yard pass set the Titans up in the red zone
and only a dropped ball in the end zone four
plays later kept the score at 6-0. That drive
eventually stalled, but Gunn stayed focused
on their aerial assault.
A 64-yard gain from Andre Guzman to
Kevin Sharp set the Titans up at the San
Mateo 13-yard line. Four plays later, Gunn
went to Sharp on the fade route, with Sharp
out-leaping the San Mateo corner for the
touchdown. Gunn didnt miss its extra point
and the score was 7-6.
The teams combined for 377 yards of
offense in the rst half 210 of those
belonged to Gunn.
San Mateo came out determined to begin
the second half. The Bearcats were cruising
down the eld before making their rst huge
mistake of the game. Extra effort on a pass to
Campbell resulted in the ball popping loose
and Gunn falling on top of it to stall San
Mateos drive at the Titan 24-yard line.
Gunn made the turnover really sting, taking
10 plays to cover 76 yards for another score.
Sean Lydster gets credit for that touchdown,
taking the ball off the right side and bruising
his way from 33 yards out to make it 14-6
with 4:22 left in the third quarter.
San Mateo did its best to respond. The
Bearcats got as far as the Gunn 39-yard line
on the next drive before a sack forced them to
punt. The Titans ate up a bunch of clock on
the ensuing drive, but left about six minutes
for the Bearcats to work with.
San Mateo dinked and dunked its way to the
Gunn 15-yard line with just over three min-
utes left to play. But an errant pass on third
down was intercepted by the Titans with 3:27
left in the game.
Gunn forced San Mateo to burn their lone
time-out early and iced the game with a pair
of rst downs.

solo homer in the fth. I think the magic
numbers down to 12 wins now. I was talking
about it today. Were not going to lose 100
games. Its something were all motivated not
to do.
Pablo Sandoval had a sacrice y for San
Francisco, which had won a season-high six
consecutive road games. Hunter Pence drove
in a run with a groundout.
Chris Volstad (2-9) allowed two runs and
ve hits in 5 2-3 innings for his second con-
secutive victory after a 24-start winless streak.
The 6-foot-8 right-hander pitched into the sev-
enth against Colorado on Sunday for his rst
win since July 10, 2011, for the Marlins
against Houston.
I felt pretty good today starting out, but the
weather kinda took a little bit on me as the
game kept going on, Volstad said. I think it
really did help my sinker though, as it was
down and it was moving.
Bumgarner (14-9) won three of his rst four
August starts for San Francisco, but ended up
dropping his last two after another ineffective
outing against Chicago.
The left-hander retired the rst two batters
in the third before the Cubs strung together
four consecutive hits to build a 5-0 lead. Rizzo
got it started with a single to center and
Soriano followed with a drive to left on an 0-
2 pitch for his 24th homer. Starlin Castro then
singled and scored all the way from rst on
Welington Castillos double to the gap in left-
center.
Castillo moved to third on the throw home
and headed for the plate when the ball got
away from Posey.
I didnt have it great. It didnt really stick
in my pocket, Posey said. When I went to
tag, he knocked it out.
Bumgarner was late backing up home and
his high return throw went off the All-Star
catchers glove, allowing Castillo to score eas-
ily.
I was being stubborn with myself and it cost
us another run, Bumgarner said. You never
want to do that.
Despite the short turnaround from the series in
Houston, the Giants almost rallied against the
Cubs bullpen. Brandon Belt ied out to the
warning track with two runners on to end the
sixth, then ied out to center with a runner on for
the nal out in the eighth.
Carlos Marmol worked the ninth for his 17th
save in 19 chances. The right-hander has con-
verted 16 straight save opportunities.
Bullpen did a nice job, getting some tough
outs there when he had to get them, Cubs man-
ager Dale Sveum said.
The Giants have another afternoon game at
Wrigley Field on Saturday, but help is on the
way.
Bochy said rst baseman Aubrey Huff and
right-handed relievers Brad Penny and Shane
Loux will be activated from the 15-day disabled
list. First baseman Brett Pill, outelder Xavier
Nady and right-handed reliever Jean Machi also
will be promoted from Triple-A Fresno as major
league rosters expand from 25 players to 40 on
Saturday.
NOTES: Posey will start at rst base on
Saturday. Bochy said before the game he would
get a day off this weekend. ... The Cubs recalled
reliever Jeff Beliveau from Triple-A Iowa and
sent fellow LHP Brooks Raley to the minors.
They also announced they will recall OFs Tony
Campana and Dave Sappelt and INF Adrian
Cardenas when major league rosters expand on
Saturday. Raleys season is over, and LHP Chris
Rusin will be recalled on Tuesday to start at
Washington. RHP Miguel Socolovich, who was
claimed off waivers from Baltimore on Aug. 23,
will be added to the active roster on Sunday.
Backup C Anthony Recker, who was acquired in
a trade with Oakland, is expected to join the
team on Tuesday. ... RHP Tim Lincecum (7-14,
5.30 ERA) starts for San Francisco on Saturday
against RHP Justin Germano (2-4, 5.91 ERA).
Lincecum is 2-0 with a 1.59 ERA in four career
starts at Wrigley Field.

seconds to play, the Lions lined up for a 50-
yard eld goal attempt.
The kick traveled only about 30 yards,
where Mills Harshal Lal picked it up. With
the Mills sideline screaming for Lal to run, he
moved slowly upeld. As both teams milled
about the eld in confusion, Lal nally got the
message and bolted to the end zone.
The score was called back because, of all
things, an inadvertent whistle by the referee.
Mills was given the choice of replaying the
kick or taking possession at its own 15 for one
untimed down.
Mills chose the latter and Lals pass fell
incomplete to end the game.
We knew if it (the ball) didnt cross the
goal line (on the eld goal attempt), its a live
ball, Krieger said. I think everyone strug-
gled a little bit.
Despite not earning the win, the Vikings
showed that this year could be different than
the last three, which saw Mills win a total of
three games. The offense went in ts and
starts, but the Vikings did muster up 143 yards
rushing and 67 yards passing. Joey Himuro
showed to be an effective battering ram in the
backeld, rushing for 76 yards and a touch-
down on 11 carries, including a bull-like 26-
yard run that set up the Vikings second touch-
down of the game, which gave them a 14-7
lead 9:54 left to play in the third quarter.
Antonio Jeffery will supply the lightning to
Himuros thunder as the junior nished 57
yards and a score on 17 carries. His 12-yard
jaunt in the rst quarter gave Mills a 7-0 lead.
The defense, which struggled at times con-
taining Galileos Jackson and Ronzel Fox
who combined to rush for 226 yards and both
Lions scores did stand tall on several occa-
sions. It forced two Galileo turnovers and
recorded a pair of sacks. Gabe Sanchez was
all over the eld making tackles.
Mills got on the scoreboard rst. Starting
from the Galileo 30, thanks to a 20-yard punt
return from Joshua Sved, the Vikings needed
six plays to nd paydirt when Jeffery took a
handoff off-tackle, bounced outside and went
in from 12 yards out untouched to give Mills
a 7-0 lead with 2:49 to play in the rst quarter.
Galileo tied the game early in the second
quarter, going 76 yards on six plays, with
Jackson scoring from 19 yards out.
The rst half ended with the teams tied at 7,
a foreshadowing of things to come.
It looked like it might be Mills day when
the Vikings took the second-half kickoff and
went 40 yards on ve plays. Himuro carried
the ball three times on the drive, picking up 29
yards, including a 1-yard plunge to put the
Vikings up 14-7.
Once again, the Lions came back with the
tying score early in the fourth quarter when
Jackson scored from 30 yards out.
The two teams went back and forth before
the nal frantic moments of the game.
I think [the tie] was (with my player) not
believing they were winning the game twice,
Krieger said. We have a long to go to
improve. We have time. The effort level is
there.

On the eld, the game looks similar. When it
comes to money, the schools in the Football
Championship Subdivision and the top-tier
Football Bowl Subdivision play on different
planets.
Five programs Georgia State, Texas-San
Antonio, South Alabama, Massachusetts and
Texas State are at various stages in the two-
year transition process to FBS this season.
Economically, the outcomes may vary widely
from school to school. But overall, the differ-
ence between FCS and FBS is a matter of
degree: much higher revenues, but also more
expenses and, in many cases, much higher loss-
es requiring the university to cover the differ-
ence.
Overall, a small majority of FBS football pro-
grams do generate more revenue than they cost
about $4 million on average, according to
NCAA data collected by Daniel Fulks of
Transylvania University (virtually no FCS pro-
grams turn a prot). The most protable FBS
programs clear up to $38 million, money that
can be used to subsidize the rest of the athletic
department and in some cases gets turned back
over to the academic side of the university.
The problem is theres a wide range around
the median (the program whose results are pre-
cisely in the middle), and nearly half of FBS
programs lose money ($2.9 million on average).
It isnt easy for a new FBS school to reach even
the median level. When schools join FBS, they
dont jump into the Big Ten or Southeastern
Conference (South Alabama, Texas State and
Georgia State are joining the Sun Belt; UMass
the Mid-American Conference and Texas-San
Antonio is moving into the Western Athletic
Conference).
On the revenue side, the typical FBS team
generates about $16 million from sources like
ticket sales and television more than 20
times the typical FCS school. High-end FBS
programs approach $100 million. But costs are
higher, too. Programs dont like losing, so
inevitably feel compelled to ll all 85 scholar-
ships FBS allows and to join in the arms race
for top coaching talent.
The majority of (transitioning) schools are
going to lose more money, Fulks said. Theyll
have fewer home games, theyll have to travel
more. If theyve been winning in FCS, theyll
probably be losing at FBS at least for a while.
At most institutions, its going to cost them, and
its going to cost them on a long-term basis.
There are other costs that dont factor into the
NCAAs direct accounting of football pro-
grams. FBS membership often requires a new
stadium, to generate revenue to fund the
expanded program, and to meet the NCAAs
15,000-per-game attendance requirement for
FBS schools (UMass is moving this season to
Gillette Stadium, home of the New England
Patriots, where it wont pay rent but which is
nearly two hours from the Amherst campus).
FBS membership generally increases costs
for other sports, too. Under NCAA rules, FBS
schools must eld at least 16 varsity teams and
spend $4 million on grants for student athletes.
Since football has no female equivalent, offer-
ing the maximum 85 FBS football scholarships
can force schools to add womens teams and
scholarships to meet Title IX balance require-
ments.
Overall, the typical FBS athletic program
costs about $11.5 million more than it generates
(compared to $9.2 million in FCS) and must get
the difference from the university whose name
it carries. Essentially, thats value that the typi-
cal FBS institution places on intercollegiate ath-
letics a tough sell to some at time of auster-
ity budgets across higher education.
But, says Fulks: If its worth having, its
worth paying for, just like your music program
or anything else.

STATE/NATION
Advertisement
reminded the nation that he ended the war in
Iraq. Obama, too, will visit storm-battered
Louisiana on Monday, a move the White House
said was decided before Romney revealed his
plans.
The race for the White House suddenly felt
more urgent, a nal heated day of August giving
way to a two-month stretch in which many vot-
ers will get serious about making their choices
or even voting for one in the states that allow
early balloting.
The political buzz followed Romney, hours
after a convention speech in which he intro-
duced himself to America and asked on-the-
fence voters to let go of a president who has
disappointed America. A rambling, surprising
and strange appearance by movie legend Clint
Eastwood at the GOP event still had people
talking, too.
But attention was shifting to Obama, the
incumbent who gets the last shot at making a
lasting impression before the October debates.
His partys national convention, which starts
Tuesday in Charlotte, N.C., will dwell less on
how life is now and more on where voters want
their lives to be. Obama inherited an economy
in the midst of a monster recession, and the pace
of the stable, sluggish recovery is perhaps
Obamas greatest burden to re-election.
The coming days, capped by Obamas speech
on Thursday night, will crystalize his re-elec-
tion pitch: An economy built on ending tax cuts
for the rich and putting more effort into educa-
tion, energy, tax reform and debt reduction. He
will call Romney a peddler of failed trickle-
down ideas that will hurt the middle class and
the needy.
Building by the day, the convention roll-in for
Obama will take him through the battleground
states of Iowa, Colorado, Ohio and Virginia. At
the event itself, rst lady Michelle Obama will
command the stage one night, followed the next
by Bill Clinton, who will ask voters to remem-
ber the good times and pledge Obama can
return them.
To put a face on the election message, Obama
and Vice President Joe Biden will be joined on
political stops by what their campaign calls
American Heroes, such as a student or teacher
or veteran whose life story reects Obamas
agenda. The Democratic National Convention
will also feature them.
Romney kept up a campaign pace out of his
convention, with plans for stops in Ohio and
Florida on Saturday before a quieter stretch into
Labor Day.
Friday was a pivot point, but hardly a breather
in the window between the two conventions.
Before heading separately out of Tampa,
Romney and running mate Paul Ryan wooed
the voters of powerful Florida, which went for
Obama in 2008.
Hold us accountable. Listen to what we have
to say, Romney said. I plan on winning in
Florida. We love this country and were taking
it back.
Romney shook up his itinerary, as he had
hinted, to get to Louisiana and inspect
Hurricane Isaacs damage. It was the kind of
trip better associated with a president than a
presidential candidate Romney has no
authority to direct help but he did draw atten-
tion to the plight of victims there. The White
House offered no complaints.
In the town of Jean Latte, Romneys motor-
cade plowed through water that at some points
was a foot or deeper, passing ooded homes,
lawns and businesses. Residents stood in the
water and watched the presidential candidates
caravan pass. Romney spoke with Louisiana
Gov. Bobby Jindal and explained that he had
come down to listen, learn, lure some media
coverage and make sure the people around the
country know that people down here need help.
For Obama, it was a day of ofcial events, not
campaigning, although with 67 days to go until
Election Day there is little distinction.
Surrounded by troops in camouage, he
appeared as commander in chief more than can-
didate, announcing steps to help war veterans
cope with mental health struggles. Yet the visit
also served as an election-year reminder that he
closed out the Iraq war and has pledged an end
to the Afghanistan war at the end of 2014.
Were not just ending these wars, he said.
Were doing it in a way that keeps America
safe and makes America stronger, and that
includes our military.
The No. 2 men on the ticket covered other
electoral ground.
In Richmond, Va., GOP vice presidential
nominee Paul Ryan warned that without
Romney in charge, our children are going to
get a diminished future.
Further north, Biden was at a union hall in
Lordstown, Ohio, directing his aim at Ryan, a
Wisconsin congressman, and other Republicans
for having voted for measures that drove up the
debt they criticize. I mean who did it? How did
we get here? Look, there is a lot they didnt tell
you at their convention.
The economy has shown varying signs of
trouble and hope, but is largely expected to stay
as is through the election and unlikely to change
the equation for Obama and Romney. Federal
Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on Friday
pledged more action to provide a jolt, but did
not get specic.
Obama chose North Carolina for his 2012
convention as a way to cement support in a
state he surprisingly won in 2008, but he
trails Romney there. The candidates continue
to put their time and money into the states
they consider in play, from Nevada and
Colorado out West to Florida, Virginia and
Ohio in the East.
ELECTION
before the final legislative vote.
He said the package was a difficult com-
promise with many contentious parties.
Lawmakers voted even as companion leg-
islation was hustled up to make key fixes in
the hastily written bill, which was taken up
during the final day of the legislative ses-
sion.
Some Republican lawmakers complained
the process was rushed and preferred to
delay a vote until the drafting mistakes were
fixed. But several GOP lawmakers voted for
it while saying the Legislature also needs to
do much more to address an unfunded pub-
lic pension liability of nearly $165 million.
What we have before us is not pension
reform, but a pension change, said Sen.
Mimi Walters, a Republican from the
Orange County community of Lake Forest.
While I will support this measure today, it
is my hope that our vote today will be the
beginning of achieving real reform and tak-
ing on the challenge of our unfunded pen-
sion liability.
PENSION
By Christy Lemire
The whole point of calling a phone-sex line
is that you know what youre getting, right?
You pick up the phone, pay your money and
partake in some, um, self-satisfaction. Its a
sure thing. Everyone hangs up happy.
With the comedy For a Good Time, Call
..., you only think you know what youre get-
ting. It looks like total formula and for a
little while, at least feels like it, with its
broad types who are complete opposites get-
ting thrown together in a contrived, high-con-
cept situation: operating a phone-sex business
out of a Manhattan apartment theyre forced
to share.
But the actresses playing the two lead char-
acters Ari Graynor and Lauren Anne
Miller have such a light and lovely chem-
istry with each other, and director Jamie
Travis keeps things moving so briskly, you
nd yourself not minding how by-the-num-
bers the story is. And then within that by-the-
numbers story, there end up being enough
surprises and subversive twists that you nd
yourself unexpectedly charmed.
Miller co-wrote For a Good Time, Call ...
with her college roommate, Katie Anne
Naylon, who really did run a phone-sex line
out of her dorm room because she needed the
cash. Comparisons to last years hugely suc-
cessful Bridesmaids are inevitable, given
that it features women saying and doing the
sort of raunchy things that previously had
been the staples of Judd Apatows bro-centric
oeuvre. They actually nished their
script before Bridesmaids had even
been shot, but the two lms do share a
wonderfully honest exploration of close
female friendship, and how discovering
another woman who truly gets you can
carry all the thrills of falling in love.
Graynor and Millers characters are miles
apart emotionally, though, at the
lms start. Graynors Katie is a brassy party
girl with a wardrobe full of animal prints and
a stripper pole in the middle of her living
room who pays the bills through random
jobs. Millers Lauren is conservative and pre-
cise, all headbands and innocent nighties, a
young woman of privilege who had her entire

Wait. What?
While most adults, even those with their

waste of time for themselves and their chil-
dren, they might be surprised by the crucial
role Facebook is starting to play in high
school academics.
What does it say about our world when
students start turning to social networking
sites for advice on homework and help before
tests? It says that we, the students, are recog-
nizing we live in a technology-addicted
world, and are not only taking advantage of
that but are also taking it to the next level.
For the students of Burlingame High
School, we have student-created Facebook
groups ranging from the general, BHS
EVENTS! and BHS Class of 13, to spe-
cic groups like AP (for Burlingame
Seniors), AP Italian and BHS Pre-Calc.
I check the groups I belong to every night

essays and readings. One or more person
almost always responds with helpful hints,

Just make a post to the group telling them

THAN SHAKESPEARE. During Ashlands
Fourth of July celebration in 1935, local col-
lege Professor Angus L. Bowmer arranged the

ANIMAL CRACKERS. Hooray for
Captain Spaulding, the African explorer. You
can bet your life the magic word is laughter as
the four Marx Brothers turn Mrs.
Rittenhouses snooty Long Island party
upside down and then cavort through the audi-
ence in second act pandemonium during
which no one is safe from Grouchos cigar ash
or Harpos honk. This recreation of the 1928
musical stage hit (the basis for the 1930 lm)
presents Groucho at his most manic, ring off
many of his best-known lines. (Ok, all togeth-
er now: One morning, I shot an elephant in
my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I
dont know.). Book by George S. Kaufman
and Morrie Ryskind. Music and lyrics by Bert
Kalmar and Harry Ruby. Reconceived from
an adaptation by Henry Wishcamper. Directed
by Allison Narver. Two hours and 30 minutes,
including one 15-minute intermission.
Through Nov. 4.
AN ASIDE: Director Allison Narver said,
The collaboration between the Marx
Brothers and writer George S. Kaufman is
inspired, although not without its tensions.
Kaufmans excoriating wit, his warm and
eccentric characters, his elegant structure and
his pointed social and political satire are
always extraordinary. But the Marx Brothers
loved to ignore the script and improvise. At
one point backstage at a performance of
Animal Crackers, Kaufman turned to some-
one and said, Shhh, I think I just heard one of
my lines. We can only guess what a live per-
formance of the Marx Brothers was actually
like. Chico Marxs daughter has said, No
matter how funny they were on lm, they
were always ve times funnier live; they
thrived on audiences. It is the energy of their
live performances combined with the eccen-
tricity of vaudeville, surrounded by Deco ele-
gance, that we bring you in 2012.
OH, AND DID YOU KNOW?: Animal
Crackers became the third and last Broadway
show for the Marx Brothers (Ill Say She Is
was the rst, The Cocoanuts the second).
While the Marx Brothers performed in
Animal Crackers in the evenings, they were
busy during the day lming The Cocoanuts at
Paramounts Astoria Studios in Astoria,
Queens.

AN ASIDE: Of Romeo and Juliet, Director
Laird Williamson said, Two ardent young
lovers adamantly pursue the course of their
forbidden love. ... We tell their eternal tale as
a memory dream of the fabled world of the
Spanish Californios ... living out their envi-
able lives to the ring of guitars, the smell of
jasmine and the thunder of hoofbeats. ... The
intimidating U.S. occupation inevitably helps
to aggravate the simmering feud between the
two great families.

ALL THE WAY. In its World Premiere, All
The Way is Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright
Robert Schenkkans intense telling of the rst
year of Lyndon Johnsons presidency, during
which Johnson made ferocious use of person-

machinations to pass the Civil Rights Act of
1964 and retain The White House. Directed
by Bill Rauch. Three hours, including one 15-
minute intermission. Through Nov. 3.
AN ASIDE: Director Bill Rauch said, No
matter when you are seeing this play during
its run as we head ever closer to Election
Day on Nov. 6 I trust that All The Way will
take you deep into the period of its setting but
also deep into the heart of who we are, and
why we are who we are, as a nation today.

WEEKEND JOURNAL 21
By Christy Lemire
If you can accept the notion that Tom
Hardy, Shia LaBeouf and Jason Clarke
could be brothers during this century or
any other, you might be able to immerse
yourself in the artfully pulpy allure of
Lawless, based on the true story of the
bootlegging Bondurants.
Director John Hillcoats ultra-violent
drama plays like a hot, sweaty, delusion-
al fever dream and is similarly tful. It
can be visceral and operatic, beautiful
and brutal but also slow and overlong.
The look and the sound of it are the most
effective parts, and the most intrinsically
tied: Singer-songwriter Nick Cave, a
longtime friend and collaborator of fel-
low Australian Hillcoat (on The
Proposition and The Road), wrote the
script and co-wrote the score, so theres
a peculiar kind of dark avor, humor and
musicality to the cadence of the dia-
logue. No one bursts into song, but you
suspect they might and sometimes hope
they would.
Lawless is based on The Wettest
County in the World, Matt Bondurants
ctional tale of his grandfather, Jack,
and his brothers, moonshine masters
who kept the Virginia hills good n
liquored up during Prohibition. The eld-
est, Howard (Clarke), is a volatile and
frequently inebriated veteran of the rst
World War. The middle brother, Forrest
(Hardy), is the quietly commanding
leader of both the business and the fam-
ily. And then theres Jack (LaBeouf), the
youngest whos eager to prove himself.
Hes the most ambitious, which makes
him the most dangerous.
The Bondurant boys nd their tidy lit-
tle operation threatened when a corrupt
Chicago lawman named Charlie Rakes
(Guy Pearce) swoops in to shut them
down. Hes as nasty as he is nattily
dressed, and Pearce once again seems to
relish playing this type of precise villain.
Also entering the brothers lives, seem-
ingly because the story needed some sort
of female gure, are two very different
women. Maggie (Jessica Chastain)
arrives out of nowhere one day from The
Big City with a Secret Past and immedi-
ately starts functioning as both the wait-
ress at the brothers restaurant/headquar-
ters and Forrests obligatory love inter-
est. Bertha (Mia Wasikowska) is the
modest and pious daughter of the towns
preacher who catches Jacks eye
which makes no sense, given that hes a
wannabe gangster with ashy tastes.
Lawless allows neither of these ne,
versatile actresses to display what they
can do fully. It is mainly about the men,
and the primal ways in which they sur-
vive and seek revenge. Yet it also squan-
ders the formidable presence of Gary
Oldman in just a few scenes as the big-
city mobster who Jack aspires to be like
one day. He is gone for large, inexplica-
ble chunks of time, and he is sorely
missed.
Still, there is Hardy, who is always
hulking and intense and impossible to
stop watching. Sure, his accent is a little
thick and folksy but he seems to get the
melody that exists within the script
and at least you can understand him bet-
ter here than you could when he had that
contraption strapped to his face to play
Bane in The Dark Knight Rises. As
LaBeouf continues efforting to show
hes a grown-up now and can do serious
character work, Hardy shows up and
simply dominates.
Lawless, a Weinstein Co. release, is
rated R for strong bloody violence, lan-
guage and some sexuality/nudity.
Running time: 110 minutes. Two and a
half stars out of four.
Lawless a fitful fever dream
Lawless is based on The Wettest County in the World, Matt Bondurants ctional
tale of his grandfather, Jack, and his brothers, moonshine masters who kept the
Virginia hills good n liquored up during Prohibition.
Nick Cave crafts a
new murder ballad
By Jake Coyle
CANNES, Franc Writing the Prohibition-era bootlegger
crime lm Lawless his second realized script and largest
movie production yet taught Australian
songwriter Nick Cave certain foundational
lessons of Hollywood moviemaking.
I learned that its a waste of time to
graphically kill animals in scripts, Cave
says, laughing. Its going to hit the cutting
room oor.
The education and development of Nick
Cave, screenwriter, continues with
Lawless, a tale of three bootlegging broth-
ers (Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, Jason
Clarke) in rural 1920s Virginia. In adapting Matt Bondurants
novel, Cave was predictably moved to include scenes from the
book of a pigs slaughter and a dead calfs birth, but had to settle
for gangster gunplay and an ominous atmosphere alive with the
constant threat of sudden brutality.
The lm marks Caves continuing dalliance with screenwrit-
ing, an extracurricular activity, he calls it, along with novel and
poetry writing. Thats in addition to his No. 1 job as a musician
and frontman of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and the currently
dormant Grinderman.
I became a script writer with absolutely no idea of how to
write a script whatsoever, says Cave, who also wrote the 2005
Australian outback Western, The Proposition. I still feel a bit
of an outsider in that regard. If I can maintain that approach to
screenwriting, it can continue to be enjoyable. But as soon as
thats gone and I understand the process, I dont think Ill have
much interest in writing scripts at all.
Violence has been a rich vein for Cave since he emerged in the
1980s with the London-based punk outt The Birthday Party. As
a theatrical lyricist of spare fables, his gothic songs of death and
mean men with a red right hand have often carried a murder-
ous gravity and narrative bent.
Like the bloody Proposition, Lawless is another kind of
murder ballad for Cave, one populated with colorful characters
compelled by primal urges.
I dont know where that comes from except that its a partic-
ular talent I have to write about that stuff, says Cave, a native of
rural Victoria who now lives in Brighton, England, with his wife
and twin sons. Whether thats from being a country boy walk-
ing around the ranges with a shotgun as a child and all that sort
of stuff, but that was very much what my childhood was like.
Cave spoke in an interview rst in May at the Cannes Film
Festival, where Lawless competed for the Palm dOr, and
again by phone from Los Angeles, where hes recently recorded
a new album with the Bad Seeds.
Erudite and droll, Cave, the son of an English teacher and
librarian, is an engaging subject whose dry wit captivated Cannes
more than the star power of the lms cast, which also includes
Guy Pearce and Jessica Chastain.
LaBeouf attached himself to the script early on and stuck with
the project through delays due to nancing. He remained with it
because of Caves screenplay and the prospect of working with
director John Hillcoat, a friend of Caves who also directed The
Proposition.

Internet for the reading the teacher was talking about and
post the link for all of us in the Facebook group.
This then leads to an internal debate and a series of quickly
sent Facebook messages.
Are you doing the reading tonight?
Mr. X forgot to post the link.
Yeah, but Suzy found it and put a link to the article on the
Facebook page.
Whatever, Im still not doing it, says your friend.
Yeah right, you think.
You know shes just saying that to be cool. Shes going to
do the reading and so are you. You dont want to and are qui-
etly cursing Suzys industriousness and innovative tenden-
cies, but you know the entire rest of your class will do the
reading.
You dont want to be the only kid in the class who cant
keep up with the discussion, and you know that your teacher
will be really impressed by the initiative you all took.
Of course, you could feign innocence and pretend you did-
nt check Facebook that night.
Suzy posted the link? Well, I never saw it, you could
claim.
But everyone would know youre lying.
On average, high school students spend about 101 minutes
each day on Facebook, making it the perfect outlet for infor-
mation amongst students. So that whole innocence thing?
For better or for worse, it wont work.

life mapped out including, she thought, marriage to her
longtime boyfriend, Charlie (James Wolk).
Then Charlie coldly dumps her, calls her boring and kicks
her out of their apartment before moving to Italy for the sum-
mer, leaving Lauren with no place to live. When her best gay
pal (Justin Long, doing it up big but not too big) suggests he
has a roommate for her, shes shocked to nd its Katie, her
college nemesis. But Katie is just as desperately in need of a
roommate to avoid being kicked out of her own place.
And so voila. We have a premise.
Naturally, they clash at rst, but eventually learn to tolerate
each other. Then, when Lauren discovers that Katie is moan-
ing and groaning into the telephone for one of her many gigs,
she realizes that with her business acumen, they could both
make a whole lot more money. And naturally, Lauren will
eventually end up answering the phone herself in a rebellious
shedding of her good-girl image.
The curvy and vivacious Graynor, whos stood out in sup-
porting roles in lms including Nick and Norahs Innite
Playlist and Celeste and Jesse Forever, has a hugely likable
and very different kind of presence as a leading lady. And
Miller, who has an undeniable sweetness and accessibility
about her, plays beautifully off Graynor and is every bit her
comic equal.
Yes, there are the obligatory montages as the women take in
the calls and rake in the cash, but the graphic one-liners and
the lightning-quick editing keep the laughs coming steadily.
There are even some inspired cameos among the men on the
other end of the line, including one from Seth Rogen, Millers
real-life husband. And yes, just when things are going too
well, a conict crops up to drive the two pals apart temporari-
ly.
But for the most part, For a Good Time, Call ... is exactly

NEW YORK The marketing genius
behind Thomas the Tank Engine and
those scandalous
Teletubbies knows
how to capture the
hearts and minds of
toddlers. Now hes
after their feet.
For his next proj-
ect, The Oogieloves
in the Big Balloon
Adventure, Kenn
Viselman is taking a
new approach to the preschool audience.
The movie opened Aug. 29 and will have
auditory and visual cues that prompt the
children to sing and dance in the aisles.
Why do we try to make children do
what theyre naturally not able to do at
the age? Viselman asks of making them
sit still and quiet.
We looked at the experience from a
childs point of view, and instead of say-
ing to the child, come to the movie and
be an adult, we want them to come to the
movies and be a child, he says. Let
children be children.
Sitting in Starbucks, youd never know
the bespectacled man with a wordy tat-
too wrapped around his right arm was
instrumental in creating some of the
biggest movements in childrens televi-
sion programming. Before embarking on
a career for the preschool set, he worked
in the garment industry.
A change in career came when
Thomas the Tank Engine creator Britt
Allcroft brought Viselman on board in
1990 to market merchandise from the
show. At rst, Viselman says he was
going through the motions until a let-
ter from the mother of a 6-year-old boy
with autism changed everything.
She tells me how hes in a catatonic
state all day and yet when the Thomas
segments come on he seems to stop. Do
you have anything to send him,
Viselman recalls. So he found some
merchandise lying around the ofce,
which included a T-shirt prototype.
A few weeks later he received a pack-
age.
Theres a picture of this boy wearing
this one and only shirt that I had in my
stockroom. The notes from the mother
and the mother says, you dont know
how youve changed my life, he said.
She opens it up, pulls out the thing, the
kid looks at the mother, stops shaking
and says, Choo Choo. Its the rst word
that hes ever spoken he grabs the
shirt, puts it on, wears it for six days, she
has to bathe him in it. In that moment I
understand the power that childrens tel-
evision has.

WEEKEND JOURNAL 23
By Karel Janicek
PRAGUE Prague is a vibrant city, with a
lively nightlife that attracts lots of young
tourists. But while cafes, busy streets and
good beer draw plenty of visitors, among the
most beautiful and appealing attractions in
this trendy capital are its historic and cultural
sites, in the Old Town, in churches and castles
dating back centuries. And many of them can
be enjoyed for free. Here are ve suggestions.
OLD TOWN SQUARE
Dating to the Middle Ages, the Old Town
Square is located in the heart of Prague.
Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque buildings
including a tower and churches date to
the 12th century. Notable sites include the
Orloj or Astronomical Clock, dating to 1410,
which includes solar and lunar positions, a
monthly calendar and a tableau of gures that
move on the hour, as well as a statue of church
reformer Jan Hus, erected in 1915, 500 years
after his death. Tour guides offer their servic-
es in the square for free though they hope
for a tip at the end.
CHARLES BRIDGE
Walking across the Charles Bridge is one of
the most popular tourist activities in Prague.
The bridges construction began in 1357
under Charles IV, the Holy Roman Emperor
known as the father of the Czech nation. Over
the centuries, 30 mostly Baroque statues of
saints were erected on the bridges Gothic
balustrade. The statue of the legendary Czech
knight Bruncvik, standing alone on one of the
bridges pillars, is among the notable sculp-
tures. Legend has it that his magical sword
was buried in the bridge and would be swung
at times of great national tribulation by St.
Wenceslas, Bohemias patron saint.
PRAGUE CASTLE
The area around the Prague Castle the
current presidency seat is open almost in
its entirety for free. Ceremonial changing of
the guard is daily at noon in the rst courtyard
and on the hour into the evening by the castle
gates. Theres a fee for exhibition halls and
historical monuments but the lovely gardens
around the castle are free to visit. The grounds
stay open until midnight every day through
Oct. 31, so you can enjoy a nice night walk in
a beautiful and safe place with hardly anyone
there as opposed to the crowds youll
encounter during the day. The castle also pro-
vides a vantage point for breathtaking views
of the city.
CHURCHES
Pragues beautiful medieval churches are
also popular with visitors and many can be
seen free of charge. Among them is the
Church of Our Lady Before Tyn, where famed
Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe is buried.
The churchs distinctive twin spires, 20 stories
high, can be seen from a long distance away.
You can also visit a small part of the monu-
mental structure near the entrance to St. Vitus
Cathedral for free, though a fee is charged for
full access to the countrys biggest and most
famous church. The church was the site of the
funeral of the late President Vaclav Havel.
Since May, all seven of the cathedrals bells
have been heard tolling together again, for the
rst time since World War I, when three of the
bells were conscated. They were recently
recast and returned to the bell tower.
PARKS
Urban parks throughout Prague offer peo-
ple-watching, playgrounds, green space, paths
for biking and skating, and postcard-perfect
views of the citys intricate skyline, a panora-
ma of centuries-old spires, towers and decora-
tive rooftops.
Five freebies in Prague: Palace, churches, park
Tour guides offer their services in the Old Town Square for free though they hope for a tip at the end.

the courtroom.
Novak reminded her the consulate warn-
ings or comments have absolutely no mean-
ing in the courtroom.
The exchanges were just the latest helping
drag out Nagayas preliminary hearing on 17
counts of domestic violence and assault dur-
ing the couples 18-month marriage. Other
unexpected twists included his wife secretly
recording her testimony for a civil attorney,
a translator who abruptly resigned citing
fatigue and a lengthy back and forth between
his wife and defense attorney over her han-
dling of his phone. On Friday, those detailed
exchanges, often marked with Yuka Nagaya
saying she did not remember something,
continued, particularly when she was asked
specifically about her husbands alleged
paramour.
Yuka Nagaya had testified for the prosecu-
tion methodically about finding a photo of
another woman in her husbands cellphone
which led to a confrontation in which he
stabbed her hand with a screwdriver, hit her
over the head with a laptop and dragged her
down the hallway.
The couple married in April 2010, shortly
before they moved to California for his job
in San Francisco at the consulate, and she
gave police photos of injuries she claims
were incurred during their 18-month mar-
riage. During her testimony, Yuka Nagaya
said she thought her husband was having an
inappropriate relationship with another
woman because he stayed out late and had a
photo of her in his phone. She said the cou-
ple argued over her suspicions and his
refusal to share information about his par-
ents upcoming visit to California. She grew
tired of cooking for him, once throwing food
on the ground, and was upset he did not
commemorate her birthday.
She told the court Nagaya responded by
kicking, punching and scratching her as well
as throwing objects and pouring milk over
her head. On Tuesday, she testified that after
questioning her husband about a suspicious
hair in his car he knocked her down, placed
his hands on her neck and said You should
die. On another occasion, Yuka Nagaya said
he stomped on her chest three or four times,
leaving her unable to move on the floor for
five or six hours, she said. Another time, she
said an upper molar fell from her mouth
while eating days after an assault in which
she was struck and he placed his hand over
her mouth so she couldnt breathe.
San Bruno police arrested Nagaya April 1
after he allegedly threw his wife from a car
in the parking lot of their San Bruno apart-
ment.
On Friday, defense attorney tried estab-
lishing Yuka Nagayas mindset prior to the
March 24, 2011 argument during which she
said he stabbed her with the screwdriver.
Did you tell your husband just the men-
tion of Yuris name makes me go berserk?
asked Lew, referencing the woman whose
photo was in her husbands phone.
I did not say that, she said.
She did admit leaving 114 text messages
on her husbands phone after he left her
alone at the airport and 32 times in a six-
minute span leaving voice mail messages
saying I wish I didnt get married.
In addition to the criminal proceedings
and a divorce, Yuka Nagaya is also pursuing
civil action against her husband. Her attor-
ney served him with the personal injury suit
during a break in the preliminary hearing
Monday and the documents filed Aug. 27
seek an unlimited amount of damages past
$25,000.
The suit echoes many of the allegations
made in the preliminary hearing, mainly that
between April 24, 2010 and March 31, 2012,
Yoshiaki Nagaya physically, mentally and
emotionally abused his wife. The suit also
refers to the screwdriver involved in one
alleged incident as miniature which was
not a description used by Yuka Nagaya dur-
ing her testimony.

nearly 900,000 more students reaching pro-
ciency now than in 2003 a remarkable
achievement that represents real, sustained
improvements in learning.
In San Mateo County, 70,337 students
grades two through 11 were tested. Of them,
65.8 percent were procient in English-lan-
guage arts; 58.4 percent in history for grades
eight, 11 and higher; 59.8 percent in math for
grades two to seven and 59.6 percent in sci-
ence for grades ve, eight, 10 and higher.
Gary Waddell, deputy superintendent for the
San Mateo County Ofce of Education, is
pleased the number of procient and advance
scoring students either increased or remained
constant across content areas. Like Torlakson,
Waddell said the consistently positive trend is
a clear reection of the work by schools and
districts in the county.
Despite a severe and ongoing scal crisis
that has resulted in reduction of services in
many schools throughout the county and state,
our teachers continue to successfully raise the
bar for their students and their improved per-
formance is evidence of their commitment,
Waddell said.
But while the STAR results show improve-
ment, the Department of Education said there
is an ongoing achievement gap between black,
Latino, English-learner and low-income learn-
ers and their peers.
I wont be completely satised until every
child has the opportunity to achieve his or her
full potential, Torlakson said.
Waddell said the county is also committed
to eradicating the gap and fullling, the great
potential and promise inherent in the children
and youth of San Mateo County.
Yet, even these subgroups showed improve-
ment. For example, the percentage of
Hispanic/Latino students who scored pro-
cient or above increased by 4 percent in
English language arts over last year and 14.6
percent over the past ve years. English learn-
ers increased 2.8 percent over the previous
year in English language arts but increased
30.8 percent over the past ve years.

scores see http://star.cde.ca.gov/.

STAR
California Standards Tests were completely
aligned to state standards in 2003. Since
then, the goal for all students was to score
procient or above on the various subjects.
Below are the percentage of students to
meet that requirement statewide, rst
number,followed by in San Mateo County.
The county numbers are weighted to
include signicant subgroups.
English-language arts 57 /65.8
Mathematics 51/59.8

Test results
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2012
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Whereas just yesterday
your hunches were pretty good, today they could
lead you completely astray. If you have to put stock in
anything, make it your common sense.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It would be best not to
do things for friends believing that theyll return
the favor. Usually when there are strings attached,
someone gets tied up in knots.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- There is a good chance
that your behavior when dealing with other people
will be scrutinized under a magnifying glass. Dont do
anything that will arouse questions.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If you are required
to give instructions to another, make them concise
and very easy to understand. Its important that the
other party knows what you are trying to accomplish.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Theres a strong
chance that you could reveal some confdential f-
nancial information to the wrong people if youre not
careful. Be cognizant to whom youre telling what.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- For the sake of
expediency, you could agree to something without
frst thinking through what the consequences might
be. Impulsive behavior could put you in an awkward
position.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If your attention span
is a bit limited, it could cause you some major com-
plications. This is especially true when working on
something intricate that requires total focus.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Be on guard if someone
who has never been overly friendly suddenly starts to
shower you with lots of attention. This person might
want something.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you are lackadaisical,
dont expect your achievement level to be too high.
Both desire and dedication are required in order to
achieve anything important or worthwhile.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Some juicy tidbits you
hear that you believe to be nothing but pure gossip
should not be passed on, no matter how tantalizing
they may be.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Financial issues might
be one of the more diffcult things for you to manage.
Youre likely to have a good handle on the larger
matters; its the small expenses that could throw you
for a loop.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Unless youre able to see
things from another persons perspective, both
parties might think it is the other who is getting the
short end.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Eli Nicholas Custino
Case Number 122560
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Eli Nicholas Custino. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by
Charlotte Custino in the Superior Court
of California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Char-
lotte Custino be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
able for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This
athourity will allow the personal repre-
sentative to take many actions without
obtaining court approval. Before taking
certain very important actions, however,
the personal representative will be re-
quired to give notice to interested per-
sons unless they have waived notice or
consented to the proposed action.) The
independent administration authority will
be granted unless an interested person
files an objection to the petition and
shows good cause why the court should
not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: August 28, 2012 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, 1st Floor, Redwood City,
CA 94063. If you object to the granting
of the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
