And while Pacic Gas & Electric and the countys Ofce of Emergency Services sent out several notications to residents in the area related to the work, a county public works employee told the Daily Journal yesterday that workers at the corporation yard in the San Mateo hills had no clue the work was being done. The corporation yard is on the north side of State Route 92, on the opposite side of the highway where the pipe was being vented. Gas could be smelled throughout the area. The public works employee, who did not want to be named, said county employees spent a portion of the morning trying to gure out the source of the gas.

SAN JOSE An overwhelming majority of Californians believe the state is mired in recession, while half of state residents worry that a family member will lose his or her job, according to a poll released Wednesday. The survey by the Public Policy Institute of California found that concerns over the economy weigh just as heavily on residents here as in the rest of the nation, and two in three say Congress and the Obama administration are not doing enough to create jobs. The poll said 40 percent of Californians believe the presidents efforts so far have failed to get more people working. Still, more residents are likely to trust him on economic matters than Republicans in Congress, the survey found. People are genuinely concerned at this stage of the economic cycle whats going to happen next, said Mark Baldassare, the institutes president and chief executive. Theyre not feeling particularly encouraged by whats occurred to date, but they have not yet heard anything from the Republican side that would cause them to make a major shift away from the president.

Californias unemployment rate remains stuck at just more than 12 percent, the second highest in the nation behind Nevada. Roughly 2.2 million Californians were jobless in August, according to the state Economic Development Department. The poll also found that the consequences of the poor economy have hit home, as tax revenue to state and local governments has declined sharply. Across all regions of the state, most residents said their local government services and public schools have been affected by budget cuts. People are nding this is a problem that has real consequences, Baldassare said. Residents also were asked about two ideas being oated by a congressional committee charged with striking a compromise to reduce the federal debt. Two-thirds of those polled said they supported raising taxes on businesses and higherincome earners, but opinion was divided about making changes to Social Security and Medicare.
Concern over preserving the entitlement programs for seniors could be one reason why the tea party is losing favor, with more than half of Californians holding an unfavorable view of the movement, according to the poll. That compares with about 44 percent holding an unfavorable view a year ago. Among Democrats, 72 percent have a favorable impression of their own party while just 59 percent of Republicans have a favorable impression of the GOP. It also found that 53 percent of California adults support legalizing same-sex marriage, with 42 percent opposed. Thats similar to a recent national poll by The Associated Press and the National Constitution Center. A year ago, California voters gave the Legislature mostly majority Democrats the authority to pass the state budget with a simple majority rather than a two-thirds vote. The Public Policy Institute survey found they are evenly divided over whether the simple majority rule should be extended to tax increases.

April molestation trial for tutor
A San Carlos man accused of fondling and sending nude photos to a friends 10-yearold daughter who he tutored will stand trial in April on a dozen counts of child molestation and sending harmful matter. Yung Chi Chu, 47, pleaded not guilty yesterday to all counts and was scheduled for trial April 9. If convicted, he faces Yung Chu up to 30 years in prison and registration as a sex offender if convicted of the 12 counts of lewd and lascivious behavior with a minor under 14, one count of sending harmful matter with the intent of seducing a minor and another of communicating with a minor with intent to commit a lewd offense. Authorities began investigating Chu, who formerly worked as an information technology technician for the Menlo Park City Elementary School District, last fall after the girls parents grew concerned she was receiving hundreds of cellphone calls and text messages from Chu, often between 10 p.m. and 3 a.m. Prosecutors say Chu fondled the girl on multiple occasions and sent her photos of naked men. He allegedly also asked the girl to send him nude photos of herself but she refused. He is free from custody on $250,000 cash bail and returns to court next March 13 for a pre-trial conference.

Jackson, who was later found to be driving on a suspended license, exited the highway at University Avenue and ran numerous red lights and stop signs in an attempt to escape the CHP, prosecutors said. He was forced to abandon his car when a tire blew out, and escaped on foot into the surrounding neighborhood. About 40 minutes later, a woman called police to report a suspicious man near her home, and responding officers found Jackson hiding under a car. In exchange for pleading no contest to one felony count of evading an officer, the district attorneys office agreed to drop one of Jacksons prior two prior strike convictions. Jackson is expected to be sentenced to six years in prison on Nov. 4.
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown said Wednesday he has vetoed a bill that would have required California ofcials to post notices about planned state park closures and respond to all inquiries from groups interested in running them, calling it a good idea but not one that needs a law. SB386 by Sen. Tom Harman, R-Huntington Beach, would have required the state Department of Parks and Recreation to post a 30-day notice of park closures on its website and provide contact information for anyone interested in leasing or operating the park. The state budget Brown signed this spring cut $33 million from the department, which will force 70 of the 278 state parks, beaches and historic sites to close by next July. The Democratic governor noted Harman was among the GOP lawmakers who blocked his proposal to call a special election so voters could decide whether to extend a series of temporary tax hikes. If approved, that would have brought in enough revenue to keep most, if not all, the parks open. What the parks do need is sufcient funding to stay open something I feel compelled to note the author and his colleagues refused to let the people vote on, Brown wrote in his veto message.

Harman said the veto appeared to be punishment for his refusal to place the tax proposal before voters. He noted his bill had bipartisan support. I had hoped the governor was interested in looking for new ways to keep our parks open without further burdening the states nances, Harman said. Instead he chose to make a political statement. Brown has until Oct. 9 to act on a companion bill, SB356 by state Sen. Sam Blakeslee, R-San Luis Obispo. That bill would require the state to give counties and cities a chance to take over operations of closed parks and encourage the use of local workers and volunteers. Among the parks scheduled to be closed next summer are China Camp in the San Francisco Bay area, the governors and Leland Stanford mansions in Sacramento, Malakoff Diggins and Railtown state historic parks in the Sierra foothills, and the Salton Sea and Mono Lake.

needed to prevent regulations from doing unnecessary harm to the economy. But Democrats have argued that the bill fails to account for the benets of environmental regulations, such as the savings from avoided doctor and emergency room visits. The White House which earlier this month delayed issuing stricter smog standards, citing economic reasons said such reports were redundant and costly. The EPA already conducts economic analyses of regulations, and so do the White House and Congress, but federal law bars the agency from considering costs when setting health-based air pollution standards, such as for groundlevel ozone, the main ingredient in smog. The bill would change that. Its likely to pass the House, but its chances in the Democrat-controlled Senate are less certain. Senate Democratic leaders vowed Wednesday to block the Houses attempts to stall the EPA.
WASHINGTON The White House threatened on Wednesday to veto the latest attempt by House Republicans to thwart pollution regulations, saying the GOP-backed bill would delay and undermine critical health protections. The Republican-controlled House is set to debate and vote on the legislation later this week. The bill sponsored by Rep. John Sullivan, ROkla., requires the president to set up a Cabinet-level committee to examine the cumulative toll of Environmental Protection Agency rules on electricity and gas prices, electric reliability and jobs. Republicans also plan to tack on a measure to slow for years regulations intended to curb mercury and other toxic pollution from power plants and to reduce smokestack emissions that blow downwind into other states. Republicans say the analysis is

WASHINGTON At least one part of President Barack Obamas health care overhaul has proven popular. With the economy sputtering, the number of young adults covered by health insurance grew by about a million as families ocked to take advantage of a new benet in the law. Two surveys released Wednesday one by the government, another
by Gallup found signicantly fewer young adults going without coverage even as the overall number of uninsured remained high. The governments National Center for Health Statistics found that the number of uninsured people ages 19-25 dropped from 10 million last year to 9.1 million in the rst three months of this year, a sharp decline over such a brief period. New data from an ongoing Gallup survey found that the share of adults 18-25 without coverage dropped
from 28 percent last fall to 24.2 percent by this summer. That drop translates to roughly 1 million or more young adults gaining coverage. The new health care law allows young adults to remain on their parents health plans until they turn 26. Previously, families faced a hodgepodge of policies. Some health plans covered only adult children while they were full-time students. Others applied an age cutoff. Elizabeth Wilson, an aspiring
opera singer who lives near Indianapolis, said her mothers plan dropped her in the midst of a medical crisis because she had turned 23. At the time, Wilson was in the hospital under treatment for an inflammation of the pancreas. Because of the overhaul, she has been able to get back on the policy. It means I dont have to spend every penny I make to get health care, said Wilson, now 24. I can use some of it to further my studies or buy food.

Fed to shift $400 billion in Satellite still on for Friday freefall holdings to boost economy
By Marcia Dunn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON The Federal Reserve said Wednesday it will shufe $400 billion of its portfolio to try to drive down long-term interest rates and get the economy going. But economists doubted it would do much good, the stock market sold off, and the Fed itself was unusually divided over the strategy. The idea is to make mortgages and other major loans cheaper and encourage people and businesses to spend more money providing a lift to the broader economy, which has slowed sharply more than two years after the Great Recession. But economists pointed out that Americans, still feeling insecure about the future and inclined to save rather than borrow, might not be willing to take on more debt, even at lower rates, or eligible to get it. Others see no reason to jump into the housing market when prices are still falling.

the space agency said in a statement Wednesday evening. The predictions should become more precise by Thursday afternoon and certainly by Friday.

MUSCAT, Oman After more than two years in Iranian custody, two Americans convicted as spies took their rst steps toward home Wednesday as they bounded down from a private jet and into the arms of family for a joyful reunion in the Gulf state of Oman. The families called this the best day of our lives, and President Barack Obama said their release under a $1 million bail-for-freedom deal wonderful news. The release capped complicated diplomatic maneuvers over a week of confusing signals by Irans leadership on the fate of Josh Fattal and Shane Bauer. Although the fate of the two gripped America, it was on the periphery of the larger showdowns between Washington and Tehran that include Irans nuclear program and its ambitions to widen military and political influence in the Middle East and beyond. But for a moment at least U.S. ofcials may be adding words of thanks in addition to their calls for alarm over Iran. For Tehran, it was a chance to court some goodwill after sending a message of deance with hard-line justice in the July 2009 arrests of the Americans along the Iran-Iraq border. The Americans always maintained they were innocent hikers. Today can only be described as the best day of our lives, said a statement

We now all want nothing more than to wrap Shane and Josh in our arms, catch up on two lost years and make a new beginning, for them and for all of us, the statement added.

The families waited on the tarmac at a royal aireld near the main international airport in Omans capital, Muscat. Also returning to Oman was Sarah Shourd, who was arrested with Bauer and Fattal but freed a year ago. She received a marriage proposal from Bauer while in prison.
UNITED NATIONS Furiously scrambling to head off a U.N. showdown, the United States warned world leaders Wednesday that trying to create a Palestinian nation by simple decree instead of through hard negotiations was bound to fail as a shortcut to peace with Israel. Europeans worked to defuse the dispute, too, France urging new talks within a month. Undeterred, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas pressed toward a formal bid for U.N. recognition that could bring the issue to a head on Friday. Addressing the U.N., President Barack Obama and French President Nicolas Sarkozy offered different solutions to defuse the diplomatic crisis. Sarkozy would have the Palestinians seek a lesser form of recognition at the U.N., while joining new talks with Israel.
VERACRUZ, Mexico A gang known to be aligned with Mexicos mostwanted drug lord appears to be making a violent challenge to the dominant Zetas Cartel in the Gulf state of Veracruz, dumping 35 bodies on a busy avenue in front of horried motorists near where the nations top prosecutors were about to start a convention. The cartel known as the New Generation unloaded the bound, seminude, tortured bodies during rush hour Tuesday as part of a several-month cam-
paign to take the strategic port of Veracruz now controlled by the Zetas drug gang, an ofcial in the Mexican armed forces told the Associated Press on Wednesday. All 35 victims, who included 12 women and two minors, were linked to the Zetas cartel, said the ofcial, who couldnt be quoted by name for security reasons. It was the rst ofcial acknowledgment of who may have carried out the attack after a banner left at the scene threatened the Zetas and bore the initials G.N. A U.S. law enforcement ofcial said the New Generation is believed to be linked to Joaquin El Chapo Guzman, widely considered the worlds wealthiest drug trafcker.

The community foundations grantmaking team identied unmet needs and awarded grants to help homeowners navigate the insurance claims process and to provide counseling for residents coping with the psychological effects of this traumatic event. Community foundation grantee Kara has counseled families and students at three area high schools. A grant awarded this spring allowed the city of San Bruno to consult with green rebuilding experts Global Green to help contractors and architects navigate the states new Green Building Code. This summer the foundation awarded additional grants totaling more than a quarter of a million dollars. United Policyholders received a grant to extend support to homeowners on insurance issues.

Additional funds were awarded for grief counseling, case management and help for burn survivors and their families. *** Congratulations to Il Fornaio Restaurant. On Monday, it was

Arnott said both are part of her green effort because North County taxpayers will save time and money not coming to Redwood City and the second initiative will save taxpayer money spent on paper stock, envelopes, printing, postage and handling. Of course, taxpayers who still want a old-fashioned hard copy can have one, too.

subsidized in-home child care to pay union dues. Supporters say nannies would have more clout to negotiate higher subsidies, as elder-care workers did after they were cleared for union membership. But its the wrong time to think about higher subsidies, just as Californias budget decit is forcing a 15 percent cut in child-care outlays. Prohibiting alcohol sales at self-service checkout counters. The stated goal is to stop under-age drinkers, but thats just the chaser. The real point of AB 183, the work of a San Francisco Democrat, is to add to the job security of grocery-workers union members by forcing more customers to buy from human cashiers. Self-service machines ag alcohol purchases, forcing customers to show an attendant that theyre at least 21 years old. Although that system fails a small percentage of the time, so does the traditional method of clerks carding liquor-buyers. Lets encourage serious actions to restrict irresponsible drinking. This isnt one of them. Banning the impounding of the cars of some unlicensed drivers. Its an issue with immigration, civil-rights and government-
ay this for our state senators and Assembly members: In the rush to beat the deadline earlier this month for sending new laws to the governor, they didnt lose sight of their constituents major concerns. The trouble is that they seem to think their constituents consist largely of lazy parents, deadbeats and union members. All those bills are now in front of Gov. Jerry Brown, awaiting his signature or veto. Some are good bills, some are harmless, and some are so bad they ought to be vetoed right away. There are a number of questionable bills before the governor, such as the one that would outlaw the use of tanning beds by 14to 17-year-olds and another barring business from conducting credit reports on job applicants. But the following four are particularly bad: Unionization for child-care providers. Mary Poppins, union worker? Assembly Bill 101, by Assembly Speaker John Perez, DLos Angeles, is similar to four that were vetoed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Its approval would be good for labor unions but bad for the state budget. The bill would impel providers of state-
nance implications, but the public-safety ramications should trump everything. AB 353 would stop law-enforcement authorities from impounding the vehicles of motorists caught at drunk-driving checkpoints whose only violation is driving without a license. Critics of the current law say impounding these cars disproportionately targets illegal immigrants and turns what are supposed to be sobriety checkpoints into municipal money-making operations. But unlicensed drivers have been shown to be more than four times as likely to be involved in collisions. If you havent proven youre a safe driver, you shouldnt have a car. Moving all state ballot initiatives to November elections. Senate Bill 202 would force all of Californias voter referendums to be held when turnout is highest. Although that sounds smart, its really a thinly veiled ploy by liberals to keep some conservativebacked measures out of the June 2012 election, when the presidential primary is likely to attract more Republican voters. We have said before that it is worth exploring proposals to reform in the 100-year-old initiative system. We mean sincere proposals, not this partisan scheme. The governor should veto these bills and encourage lawmakers to tackle the states many bigger issues.
Porn Wild
ETA is going hard core hard-core porn, that is. The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is going for maximum exposure for its animalsaving cause by taking it all off. Thats right; PETA is focusing on a few breasts and thighs other than those on the poor, doomed chickens they aim to protect. Think protesting meat by turning people into it. Think saving the horses by showing the public men who are hung like them. Women promoting the lives of kitten by showing, well, you get the picture. PETA has never shied away from controversy but this time a full investment means full frontal. Seriously. The group has announced that later this year it is launching a pornographic site with the name peta.xxx. And lets just say the xxx isnt a stand-in for a trio of kisses. Instead, the site will take the idea of a pin-up on a bear skin rug and toss out the latter. The triple-x domain lets PETA show all those naughty bits usually covered up by strategically placed lettuce leaves or carefully draped arms as celebrities claim theyd rather go naked than wear fur. This site lets them make good although chances are good the stars of these tidbits are more volunteers than Vivid Entertainment. In fact, the groups associate director of campaigns was quoted in news stories as saying that the activists will strip because they want to do everything they can to help the animals. The animals should be so lucky. Most people, or shall we say women, only take it off publicly for Hugh Hefner, a hefty paycheck and a chance at 15 minutes of fame. The site to be launched just in time for winter when most folks are bundling up and tan lines are wearing off is supposed to draw curious visitors in with the allure of human nudity before punching them in the gut with the naked truth of animal cruelty, according to PETA. Lets just hope the models start eating their veggies and doing some crunches or the only cruelty to be inicted will be on the unsuspecting viewers. To clarify, PETA seems ready only to showcase nudity rather than naked activities. The group didnt say participants would be fornicating like bunny rabbits or demonstrating canine-type positions. Regardless, this latest publicity stunt is likely to raise more eyebrows than those controversial Super Bowl ads of scantily clad models fondling broccoli and steaming up the screen with implications about what they want to do with a zucchini. The plan is frankly also a better idea than the feeble attempt to rename sh sea kittens or wrap police vehicles in pro-PETA advertising. Neither one of those publicity stunts garnered much more than a snicker. Instead, the organization is better when it promotes one carnal pleasure in place of another and the idea of live nude girls to protect live wild animals isnt half bad, at least when it comes to making the public howl a little. Truthfully, though, a little T and A is unlikely to sway dyed-in-the wool carnivores from savoring a BLT. But the publicity is priceless. All PETA has left to do is nd some models betting the cause. Bears and cougars, perhaps?

the biggest losers. Wednesdays trading recalled the sharp losses the market has suffered this summer as investors feared that the country was heading toward another recession. The Fed said after a two-day meeting that it would buy long-term Treasurys and sell short-term ones to help the economy regain momentum. It surprised investors when it said it would include more 30-year bonds in its purchases than expected. Its being viewed as perhaps an admission that this is a longer-term issue that the U.S. economy is facing and not one thats going to be solved over a couple of years, said Oliver Pursche, president of Gary Goldberg Financial Services. The major indexes uctuated as they often do after major Fed announcements. The losses accelerated in the last hour of trading. The Fed said it would buy $400 billion in 6-year to 30-year Treasurys by June 2012. Over the same period, it planned to sell $400 billion of Treasurys maturing in three years or less. The move is intended to drive down interest rates on long-term government debt, and could lower rates on mortgages and other loans.

NEW YORK The Federal Reserve did what investors expected Wednesday it said it would buy Treasury bonds to help the economy. But stocks fell anyway. The reason? The Fed made it clear that it thinks a full economic recovery is years away. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 283.82 points, or 2.5 percent, and closed at 11,124.84. The Standard & Poors 500 index fell 35.33, or 2.9 percent, to 1,166.76 The Nasdaq composite fell 52.05, or 2 percent, to 2,538.19. Investors bought Treasurys because of concerns about the weak economy. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to a record low of 1.86 percent from late Tuesdays 1.93 percent. And the price of oil continued its slide on expectations that therell be less demand for energy because of the economy. Crude fell $1 to $85.92 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The industries that fell the most Wednesday were the ones that have suffered amid worries about the economy this summer: nancial and industrial companies and those that sell non-essentials to consumers.

SAN FRANCISCO As trial balloons go, Hewlett-Packards not-sosecret handwringing over whether to dump CEO Leo Apotheker and replace him with former eBay CEO Meg Whitman was a success. Investors like the idea. News that the companys board is mulling a leadership change pushed the stock up more than 7 percent on Wednesday. Investors were heartened by yet another turnaround strategy at one of Silicon Valleys oldest, but most publicly dysfunctional, firms. Since joining HP in November, Apothekers
strategic decisions have been drastic, and have done little to inspire confidence. HPs stock is down nearly 50 percent since he took the helm. HP is facing a clasbig-company Meg Whitman sic problem: How to meaningfully grow revenue. But its also facing an identity crisis. The companys trying to gure out whether it works best as a technology conglomerate that can be all things to all customers, or as a more streamlined operation that does
only a few things well. Apothekers potential exit comes as HP is predicting tough times ahead. In August the company lowered its outlook, saying it expects adjusted earnings of as much as $4.86 per share and revenue of as much as $127.6 billion, both of which were below analyst projections. The proposed spinoff of the PC division could make matters worse as customers refrain from ordering until a buyer is found. Deliberations among the companys board of directors, which leaked Wednesday in published reports, also signal the disarray within HP about its direction.

NEW YORK Retailers just got an early Christmas gift: Americans are expected to spend more than they did last year during the holidays. Retail revenue in November and December is expected to be up 3 percent during what is traditionally the biggest shopping period of the year, according to research firm ShopperTrak said Tuesday. The sales prediction, which matches
the outlook from the International Council of Shopping Centers on Friday, would be below last years 4.1 percent spike and the 5-plus percent gains during boom economic times. But its still above the 2.6 percent average gain over the last 10 years and is considered respectable growth given the down economy. Clearly, consumers will remain surgical in their spending, said Bill Martin, ShopperTrak, co-founder. But the Christmas season should still be quite satisfactory.
The retail industry still is waiting for a widely-watched holiday forecast on Oct. 6 from the National Retail Federation, the nations largest retail trade group. But the ShopperTrak and ICSC outlooks are the rst insight into how consumers, which account for 70 percent of U.S. economic activity, might spend during the season. Retailers depend on the season for up to 40 percent of their revenue and are worried that Americans saddled by concerns about their jobs, the stock market and the overall U.S. economy, will cut back on holiday shopping.
NEW YORK Facebook is at it again. The social network is tweaking the home pages of its 750 million users, much to the chagrin of some very vocal folks. The worlds largest online social net-
work is expected to announce even more changes on Thursday, when it holds its annual f8 conference in San Francisco for developers who create games and other applications for its site. The gathering follows a trickle of changes to Facebook in the past few weeks. Some, such as larger photo displays and a feature that makes it easier to group friends into categories, were met
with approval or at least silence, which in the age of social-media oversharing could well be considered an endorsement. Then came Wednesday, when many users woke up to nd their homepages altered, with what Facebook calls top stories on the top of their pages, followed by recent stories listed in chronological order.
WASHINGTON Google Inc.s Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt sparred with senators Wednesday during a hearing that repeatedly cast the Internet search leader as a greedy

vation and economic opportunity during a 90-minute appearance before a Senate antitrust panel. Google does nothing to block access to any of the competitors and other sources of information in Web searches, Schmidt testied.

Coaching lifer
d Larios, longtime Peninsula football coach, has a fairly lengthy football resume. A 1964 graduate of Jefferson High School in Daly City, he went on to have a prolic, hall of fame receiving career at San Francisco State University and a one-year stint in the NFL. He knew he would never be dened as a career football player. Never in his wildest dreams, however, did he ever think he would be a career football coach. But that is precisely what Larios has become. Working as an assistant at Crystal Springs Uplands School this season (yes, the Gryphons have a football program: eight-man football), 2011 marks the sixth decade Larios has spent on a football sideline. He started his coaching career and teaching career, you cant separate the two, because coaches are teachers in 1969, after spending the 1968 season on the Atlanta Falcons practice squad. I had lost my enthusiasm (for the game), said Larios, 64. I knew I wasnt going to be a career football player. I exceeded my furthest expectations. I never started a high school game until my senior year. He was also nudged down the coaching path by one of the NFLs all-time greats, Norm Van Brocklin, who took over the head coaching chores at Atlanta midway through Larios only season. When Larios came back for training camp in 1969, Van Brocklin had a question for Larios. What do you plan to do for the rest of your life, Larios said Van Brocklin asked him. I said, Teach. He said, Go ahead and start that. That year, he returned to Jefferson as a student-teacher and became a member of the varsity coaching staff. A year later, in 1970, he was named head coach at Oceana. In 1974, he swapped his head coach position with a young assistant coach, Bill Gray, under whom Larios worked until 1983. Gray has been the head man at Terra Nova for the last 20 years.
With the junior varsity team looking on, Burlingames Charlotte Pratt, right, scores one of her 16 goals during the Panthers20-19, overtime victory over visiting Willow Glen Wednesday afternoon.
Ladies and gentleman, do not adjust your eyes the fact that the name Charlotte Pratt will appear in this girls water polo article a ton of times is not a mistake. If anything, its completely necessary. In Burlingames latest game, a non-league match against the Willow Glen Rams, the Panthers came away with a thrilling 20-19 overtime victory. Pratt, the lone senior on the Burlingame team, scored 16 of those goals, including the only two of the second overtime period to lead the Panthers to victory. Thats right, 16 goals in one match, by one player. She is a beast, said Burlingame head coach Marc Keirns, she is the undisputed leader of our team, she can do it all. She
guards two-meters, she sets two-meters, she gets out on the counter. With the way Pratt was playing on Wednesday, its possible No. 19 could have shot from the parking lot and scored she peppered Willow Glen from every part of the pool in one of the most dominating performances you will ever see by an athlete in any sport. And Burlingame needed every bit of Pratts effort to win. The Panthers jumped out to an early lead in the rst quarter, taking a 5-1 lead, with Pratt leading the charge. Everything appeared to be going as planned, that is until the Panthers found themselves in some foul trouble. The second quarter was more evenly matched, perhaps with Burlingame playing a bit more conservative trying to avoid the referees whistle. The conservative play didnt work though Meghan Fearn, Ashley Williams, Alana
Sobel and Kira Tomlinson all tallied three major ejection penalties a piece, thus nding themselves on the bench with more than half the game to play. I think we might have gotten a little lazy, Pratt said, because we were ahead, you know, not taking the extra stroke to get around. And that hurt us a lot. So, we denitely felt the tide change. The score was 9-5 in favor of Burlingame heading into the third quarter. We had a lot of girls in foul trouble, Keirns said, we had some girls that were ill, with migraines, but they stepped up and came off the bench, lled a spot, and we came together as team. I just told them to stay within the game. Play our game, dont worry about the refs, dont worry about the other team, just play the way we know how to and just keep battling.
ALAMEDA Almost from the moment he arrived at training camp, Oakland Raiders rookie receiver Denarius Moore dazzled his new teammates with his frequent highlight reel catches. He backed that performance up with a strong preseason and then really got noticed nationally with a breakout game in a losing effort against the Buffalo Bills last week. Moore caught ve passes for 146 yards, including a 50-yard leaping touchdown grab over a pair of defenders that gave the Raiders a lead late in the fourth quarter that the defense was unable to hold. I feel pretty good with what Ive been able to do coming out here in practice and transfer it to the game, Moore said Wednesday. Coach says practice like you play, so thats basically what Ive been doing. Thats exactly what Moore did last week in
Buffalo, making the same kind of catches he did all summer in training camp in Napa, just on a bigger stage with a bigger audience. His big day started when he took away a ball from cornerback Leodis McKelvin for a 20-yard catch on the rst play of the Denarius second quarter to set up Moore Oaklands rst touchdown. He beat McKelvin again late in the rst half for a 42-yard gain down the sideline to set up the touchdown that gave the Raiders a 21-3 lead. He added a 10-yard catch and 25-yard reverse early in the fourth quarter to help the Raiders move back on top 28-24 before coming up with his biggest play of the game in the closing minutes. With the Raiders at mideld trailing 31-28

SANTA CLARA 49ers wide receiver Braylon Edwards underwent a surgical procedure on his injured right knee and will be out for a while, though coach Jim Harbaugh refused to predict a timetable for Edwards return or provide further details. The coach had to be pushed to reveal the surgery at all. Braylon had a little procedure done, yeah, Harbaugh said Wednesday. Hes going to be out for a little bit. I hate to speculate (how long). Edwards limped off with the knee injury after making a 21-yard catch on the 49ers third play from scrimmage in a 27-24 overtime loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Its a tough blow for San Francisco (1-1) as the team hits the road for two weeks, with a stay in Youngstown, Ohio, between Sundays
game at Cincinnati and a Week 4 visit to Philadelphia. We just hope he gets a fast recovery so he can get back out here, fellow starting wideout Joshua Morgan said. We know he loves playing this game just as much as we do. Braylon With somebody who loves Edwards to play the game, you always hate to see him go down with an injury. The 28-year-old Edwards received a $3.5 million, one-year contract last month, giving San Francisco the strong, athletic wideout it sought to t into Harbaughs West Coast offense and giving Edwards a much-needed fresh start out West after a tumultuous stint with the New York Jets.

Giants 8, Dodgers 5
The Dodgers got to 5-4 in the fth on Jamey Carrolls RBI single and Matt Kemps threerun homer. Bolstering his bid for the NL MVP award, Kemp hit his 35th homer to tie Atlantas Dan Uggla for second in the league. Kemp overtook Philadelphias Ryan Howard for the league lead in RBIs with 116 and he surpassed Milwaukees Ryan Braun for the runs lead with 106. He singled in the ninth for his 183rd hit. Dana Eveland (2-2) gave up ve runs and six hits in four innings, struck out one and walked three in his fourth start for the Dodgers this season. The left-hander fell to 31 in his career against the Giants after having blanked them for seven innings of a 3-0 win on Sept. 10. San Francisco extended its lead to 6-4 with two outs in the sixth on Christians RBI single. The Giants added two runs in the seventh on Pills RBI double and a sacrice y by Mark DeRosa. NOTES: Giants RF Carlos Beltran left the game with a right foot contusion after being hit by a pitch in the third. He doubled in the rst to extend his hitting streak to nine games. ... Vogelsong improved to 6-1 on the road this season. ... Kemps homer was the 94th given up by the Giants this season, fewest in the majors. ... Dodgers SS Dee Gordon extended his hitting streak to eight games with a single in the rst, while RF Jerry Sands streak extended to nine games with a single in the eighth.
LOS ANGELES Justin Christian had three hits and drove in three runs all with two outs and the San Francisco Giants beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-5 Wednesday night to keep their slim NL West playoff hopes alive. Any combination of two Arizona wins and/or Giants losses would eliminate the defending World Series champions. Los Angeles had its four-game winning streak ended as it dropped back to .500. Ryan Vogelsong (12-7) allowed four runs and nine hits in ve innings, struck out three and walked one in extending his careerhigh victory total. The AllStar right-hander has gone 3-6 in his last nine starts after being 9-1 through his rst 20 games. Ryan After giving up an RBI Vogelsong single to James Loney in the ninth, Brian Wilson earned his 36th save in 41 chances, and his rst since Aug. 13 after a stint on the disabled list. Brett Pill went 3 for 5 with two RBIs for the Giants, who had their season-high eight-game winning streak snapped in the series opener Tuesday, but have won 11 of 15. The Giants scored three runs with two outs in the rst on RBI singles by Pill and Mike Fontenot. Christians two-run double with two outs in the fourth increased their lead to 5-0.
NEW YORK To the fake handoff and fake eld goals, add fake injuries. The NFL sent a memo Wednesday to all 32 teams warning of nes, suspensions and loss of draft picks if the league determines players faked injuries during a game. Yet several players admit its an accepted practice, and some coaches hinted they are not above condoning phony injuries if it provides a competitive edge. Ive been places where it has been (taught), said Browns linebacker Scott Fujita, a member of the players union executive committee. They have a name for it and Ive been places where its been pre-called. Ive been places where its one player who has been designated. Maybe Im getting everyone in trouble, but Im just being honest. In the memo obtained by the Associated Press, the NFL reminded teams of league policy that calls on coaches to discourage the practice. There is no specic rule on the topic. Nonetheless, two days after there was speculation the Giants Deon Grant faked an injury against the Rams during Monday nights game, the NFL is warning of disciplinary action. Its always been in the game, Ravens AllPro safety Ed Reed said. Its all tactical stuff you need to use. Whatever it takes. ... If youre tired, youre tired. You get a break however you can. Added 49ers running back Frank Gore: Hey, I feel if it helps, do it. Im bound to do it. Whatever it takes to win ... Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo said Tuesday the team notied the league ofce that it suspected the Giants were feigning injuries in St. Louis 28-16 loss. Rams quarterback Sam Bradford said it was obvious the Giants were just buying time with St. Louis running a nohuddle offense. They couldnt get subbed, they couldnt line up, Bradford said. Someone said, Someone go down, someone go down, so someone just went down and grabbed a cramp. Grant was adamant about not having faked anything. I could see if I was walking and fell, he said Wednesday, speaking passionately and barely taking a breath. When you see after I made that tackle and bang my knee on that play, you see me bending my knee as I am walking. ... (Teammate Justin) Tuck is walking behind me and saying D dont run off the eld. Just go down.As I am walking, they line up, and knowing that I cant get back in my position because of the knee injury, I went down. Had Grant attempted to get off the eld, it could have left the Giants a defender short when the ball was snapped. Of course, New York also could have called a timeout, a course of action teams might need to use in the future. Redskins coach Mike Shanahan was coy
Going forward,be advised that should the league ofce determine that there is reasonable cause,all those suspected of being involved in faking injuries will be summoned promptly to this ofce ...to discuss the matter. Those found to be violators will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action for conduct detrimental to the game.
Memo from NFL ofce to teams
about the tactic when asked if he ever instructed a defense to do it. I cant say I have, Shanahan said before pausing. But I wont say I havent, either. Then he smiled. It happens all the time, and warnings will come out, he added, and its happened again. The memo from the league said: Going forward, be advised that should the league ofce determine that there is reasonable cause, all those suspected of being involved in faking injuries will be summoned promptly to this ofce ... to discuss the matter. Those found to be violators will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action for conduct detrimental to the game. The leagues competition committee often has discussed this issue but has been reluctant to propose a rule that could force game ofcials to make judgments on injuries. We have been fortunate that teams and players have consistently complied with the spirit of the rule over the years and this has not been an issue for the NFL, the memo said. We are determined to take all necessary steps to ensure that it does not become an issue. For the most part, such delay tactics have been considered gamesmanship, similar to a hockey goalie suddenly needing equipment repairs when his team is getting besieged. Or untouched soccer players writhing on the ground in pain to get a stoppage and to slow momentum built by the other side. As an offensive player, you always think guys are faking in that situation, Eagles guard Kyle DeVan said. But you dont know for sure. You dont know when guys are going to cramp up, so you have to be careful. The most important thing is players health. You would hope guys dont do it, but its going to happen. It might be planned, too. While calling it real bush league no pun intended Dolphins running back Reggie Bush said a coach just designates a guy who fakes an injury. Its usually not a captain of the team. Its a guy whos expendable. The NFLs disciplinarians will be watching for that. son. But he also had a sack against the Ravens.

Titans DE Derrick Morgan fined $7,500 for hit on Flacco
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Titans defensive end Derrick Morgan says the NFL ned him $7,500 for a late hit on Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, and he plans to appeal for an action that was a split-second reaction. Flacco had fumbled the ball in Sundays 2613 loss to Tennessee when he scrambled after it and fell on the ball. Flacco was touched by a Tennessee teammate just before Morgan came in and hit Flacco. Ofcials agged Morgan for unnecessary roughness for the late hit. Morgan said Wednesday that even one of the Ravens offensive lineman looked at the replay and called it a tough penalty. The 26-13 win was the rst game back for Morgan, a rst-round pick out of Georgia Tech in 2010. He tore his left anterior cruciate ligament in the fourth game of his rookie sea-

thrilling World Cup nal, but ultimately lost on penalty kicks. As a thank you to American fans for their support during soccers premier event, the two-match Celebration Series with Canada opened in Kansas City on Saturday. That match ended in a 1-all draw. After Thursday nights game in Portland, the U.S. womens team will have some time off until they begin training for Olympic qualication. The World Cup squad was intact for the exhibition series, during which U.S. coach Pia Sundhage has been experimenting with a one-forward system. At a practice Wednesday that was open to the public, much of the focus was on the stars of the team, including Rapinoe, with her shock of bleached blond hair, veteran forward Abby Wambach, and goal keeper Hope Solo, who had just returned from an appearance on the television show Dancing with the Stars. During a lull in the workout, a little girls voice rang out: Abby Wambach, you rock! he was young player and coach, the players used suspension helmets, which was basically a net suspended inside the helmet. Players back then didnt use their helmet as a weapon as they do now. Back then, tackling was all about form and techEd Larios nique. Now, its all about just getting to the ball and bringing down the ball carrier by any means necessary. [The game is] more physical now because of the equipment, Larios said. The helmets nowadays, they could be in a head-on collision (car crash) and survive. But the equipment is a big factor in the impact hits. The impact is so great that their brains rattle around in their head. The other big change has been in Larios himself. When he was younger, he said he was probably too impatient. The years have mellowed the man. Im a lot less intense, Larios said. If I had a big fault, it was I was too intense at the beginning. I didnt have a lot of patience. Its much more enjoyable when its for the kids instead of yourself. Its that connection with kids that keeps Larios coming back year and year. He still Its strange, Rapinoe said of all the attention the team gets. Hopes on Dancing with the Stars. We get recognized wherever we go. Its strange, weird, attering, amazing. On Saturday night in Kansas City, Wambach converted an early penalty kick to give the United States the lead until Melissa Tancredi equalized it late in the rst half. The result ended Canadas seven-match losing streak to the U.S. women. Rapinoe is joined on the team by fellow Pilot Stephanie Cox. A former West Coast Conference Player of the Year, Rapinoe had 30 goals and 28 assists during her time with the Pilots, despite several injuries and commitments to the national team. Cox, a defender who played on the U.S. Olympic Team in Beijing, was a three-time All-American. She was happy to be back in soccer-crazy Portland. Members of the Timbers Army supporters group even serenaded her at teaches class at Aragon and extends his teaching to the football eld. I enjoy coaching. I enjoy teaching. I enjoy being around kids, Larios said. Working with kids, theres an innate excitement about new horizons. They have this brightness in their eyes and they look at you for everything you can give them. Its kind of nice you can still motivate kids. Other than coaching and teaching, the one constant in Larios life the last 40 years has been his wife Ellen, who has been with Larios every step of the way of his coaching career. And despite being a career coach, Larios has never let the game completely and utterly consume him. He has wife Ellen, and kids Kristin, 39, and Stephen, 36, to thank for that. Ellens been there the whole ride, Larios said. If you dont have that kind of support, you wont stay married. [Your family] is your sounding board when things are going bad. Im the kind of person who could be consumed (by the game). I do get consumed. My wife knows on Sunday, Im breaking down lm. She just knows. As I get more into my older years, I do take that time out to get away from football. Well go away for a couple days. Its kind of nice. Larios said he does have some small regrets about not being there for his kids when they
PORTLAND, Ore. Megan Rapinoe was thinking a little homage to Major League Soccers Portland Timbers might be in order if she scores when the U.S. womens national team plays Canada on Thursday. I want to go saw one of those pieces of wood off, she joked, nodding to the log that mascot Timber Joey carves into each time the Timbers score at Jeld-Wen Field. Id probably get a red Megan Rapinoe card for that. Rapinoe, who played in college for the Portland Pilots, returned to the city this week with the national team for a post-World Cup friendly. The U.S. women played Japan in the
Wednesdays open practice. Portland proclaimed itself Soccer City, USA, back in the mid-1970s when it embraced the Timbers early success in the North American Soccer League. The citys support of the game has grown throughout the years with the Pilots success, and currently with the Timbers leap to Major League Soccer this season. The Portland Pilots womens team won NCAA titles in 2002 and 2005. Former Pilot Sophie Schmidt is a member of the Canadian team, which did not fare well in the World Cup and is now breaking in new coach Jon Herdmann. The sixth-ranked Canadians lost to Germany, France and Nigeria in the World Cup and exited after the rst round. Schmidt said the tournament was painful but the Canadian women are determined not to let it dene them going into Olympic qualication. came home from school, or spending as much time helping them with their homework, but that isnt to say there was no quality time spent with Kristin and Stephen. He coached them growing up and much like Ellen whose father was also a coach the kids knew and accepted their fathers schedule. The only thing they had a regret with was that I was too intense when I coached them, Larios said. They became the whipping kids (on the team) because I could do things to them that I would never think to do to someone elses kid. And much like he never really planned to be a football coach, he doesnt have any kind of exit strategy at this point. Hell probably keep going until the game, the teaching and the kids just arent fun anymore. In talking with Larios, it doesnt sound like that day is coming any time soon. Its been a great career, Larios said. Ive established many friends (through football). You cant put a price on all those good things that have happened.

Larios went on to be an assistant at Burlingame with John Gilmore, taking over the head coaching duties for a few years in the late 1990s including the only year the Panthers won a Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division title, in 1997. He resumed assistant coaching duties with Burlingame, moving on to Aragon for a few years before heading up to Crystal Springs. If there was ever a coach to see the evolution of the game of football, its Larios. When he started coaching, most of the head coaches were from the World War II era, who may not have even played the game, much less spent time coaching it. Coaching is much more sophisticated now. Before, it was old school: just keep hitting until you nd out who could hit the best and put him out there, Larios said. I think the kids are getting coached better. These coaches put in a lot more time (nowadays). The instruction is better now. While the game has remained fundamentally the same, the biggest difference Larios has seen over the years is in the equipment. When

36 holes of golf. I didnt get any calls after July 1 and I gured that was it. Only it wasnt. The 41-year-old Modano said Vancouver assistant general manager Lorne Henning offered him a chance last week to continue his career with the Canucks. I told him I had to pass because I hadnt touched a weight or unzipped
my bag since we lost in San Jose, he said. Modano ended his career as a banged-up player who had lost a step and some zip off his shot during his one-season stint with his hometown Detroit Red Wings. A skate sliced a tendon in his right wrist and limited him to 40 games and career lows with four goals and 15 points with
the Red Wings. In Modanos prime, he was among the best hockey players on the planet shifty, speedy and with a tough-tostop wrist shot. He also played in three Olympics, helping the Americans win silver in 2002. The Minnesota North Stars selected the native of Livonia, Mich., No. 1 overall in 1988.

Couture scores 2 goals in Sharks rout of Anaheim
ANAHEIM Logan Couture scored two of San Joses six consecutive goals in the nal two periods, and Thomas Greiss made 19 saves in the Sharks 6-1 preseason victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday night. Andrew Murray and Sean Sullivan scored third-period powerplay goals for the Sharks, who also got goals from Jason Demers and Tommy Wingels. Ryane Clowe and Justin Braun both had two assists. ve-game leading over the Angels in the West with seven to go. They can clinch their second straight division title as early as Friday in Arlington when they host Seattle in the beginning of a three-game series. Texas squandered numerous scoring opportunities and trailed 2-1 going in to the eighth before Kinsler and Hamilton powered the Rangers back. Kinsler snapped the drought with his 30th home run of the season on a full-count pitch leading off the eighth against As reliever Grant Balfour (4-2). Kinsler became the rst second baseman in American League history to have 30 home runs, 30 doubles, 100 runs scored and 80 walks in the same season. Balfour retired Elvis Andrus on yball before Hamilton connected for his 24th home run to right eld. The ball landed halfway up the stairs at the Oakland Coliseum then bounced the rest of the way up. Koji Uehara (2-3) pitched a scoreless seventh for the win, his rst with the Rangers since being acquired from the Baltimore Orioles on July 30.

Edwards is 6-foot-3 and 214 pounds and demonstrated his athleticism with a pretty one-handed catch along the sideline in a 17-3 exhibition win over the Oakland Raiders on Aug. 20. The 49ers will get some reinforcements this week. Michael Crabtree is expected back on the eld against the Bengals after he was inactive last Sunday while nursing a troublesome, surgically repaired left foot that he aggravated again in a Week 1 win over the Seahawks. Most likely, yeah, Harbaugh said of Crabtree being active. I think we have to keep a close eye and monitor, as our doctors and training staff and coaches have. Crabtree, who said he thought he could have played last week, was full speed in
Wednesday afternoons practice. The 10th overall pick in 2009 out of Texas Tech was limited in practice last week after he missed his third straight training camp. He played into the third quarter in San Franciscos 33-17 victory over Seattle in Week 1. Crabtree has been a combination of defensive, silent and evasive when asked about his injury. He said his foot feels good when he runs routes before the game. Youre asking me about my foot and backto-back games, Crabtree said. Its day by day. Its improving every day. ... I cant go into the future right now. ... You guys ask me the same questions every time. Within three days, not too much will change. Im really just trying to get it right right now. Of course I want to go out there and play. Its coachs decision. I felt like I could have (played). Meanwhile, Vernon Davis and Harbaugh met to discuss the Pro Bowl tight ends postgame comments from Sunday that weve still got to keep everybody involved. Davis you learn to trust a guy. The Raiders learned quickly to trust Moore, a fth-round pick out of Tennessee. He put on a highlight show almost every day at camp, announcing his presence in one of the rst practices when he beat starting cornerback Stanford Routt a few times. That type of performance became an almost daily routine in Napa that hasnt slowed down much since then. Hes done it in training camp, hes done it in practice, hes done it in preseason games and hes done it in regular season games, coach Hue Jackson said. He is as advertised. He made some plays. I mean, its going to be hard to keep that young man off the eld, and he hasnt been. Hes been one of the active guys, and well continue to re that. Jackson said one of Moores biggest strengths is his lack of fear. Jackson, who has coached star receivers like Chad Ochocinco in
was used more as a blocker than the deeproute threat he has been in recent years. Davis has seven catches for 65 yards through the rst two games. He was targeted only three times against Dallas and made two receptions for 18 yards. The other pass intended for him was intercepted. Its a two-way conversation and it was just about football. It wasnt about frustration or anything else that youd categorize, Harbaugh said. We talked. Talk to a lot of players every day. ... Conversations are twoway, me and him. The 27-year-old Davis has been a regular playmaker the past two seasons, making 56 catches for 914 yards and seven touchdowns in 2010. That came after Davis became the highest-paid tight end in NFL history last September when he signed a ve-year contract extension that pays him $37 million overall, with $34 million guaranteed. Davis wants to return to being the dominant player he was in 2009, when he tied Antonio Gates NFL record for touchdowns by a tight the past, said now Moore needs to show consistency to reach that next level. His teammates expect that to happen because of the work Moore puts in every day and his drive to succeed. Thats what it comes down to. Youve got to work hard in practice, teammate Derek Hagan said. Hes denitely steadily trying to improve each and every day. Even if hes out there making a mistake, were out there trying to help him. But he knows what hes doing, and hes getting the job done so far and hopefully we can keep it going for the next 14 games. Moore has gotten an opportunity for significant playing time early because of injuries that have forced Louis Murphy to miss the rst two games and Darrius Heyward-Bey and Jacoby Ford to sit out last week in Buffalo. With Murphy out again this week against the New York Jets, Fords status in doubt and
end with 13 and made his rst Pro Bowl. Davis said he faces constant double-teams and agreed with Harbaughs game plan after watching lm from Sunday. With Edwards sidelined for signicant time, Davis said he would handle any receivers role. Whatever I have to do. I strongly believe that Coach Harbaugh and the rest of the staff will do everything that they can to put us in a great situation to make plays everybody, Davis said. Whether its blocking or catching passes or whatever. I put it in their hands. Theyve got it. They know what theyre doing. I trust and believe in that and just continue to play ball. Without Edwards, Ted Ginn Jr., Morgan and Kyle Williams will handle the bulk of the workload in the receiving corps. Guys are going to have to step up and be ready to go, quarterback Alex Smith said. You dont expect this to happen, but its the game of football and you have to deal with injuries. Moores performance last week, it gures that he will see plenty of time against Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie. Im putting myself on the map where Im part of the team and can actually make plays to help the team, Moore said. Thats quite different from his draft-day experience when he slipped all the way to the fifth round despite a strong career at Tennessee. Moore said he has a chip on my shoulder that the Raiders are now beneting from and has led other teams to regret passing on him in April. We really liked him and Im sure the young man can tell you that, Jets coach Rex Ryan said. We had him in for a visit. We really did like him. It never worked out for us. He had a huge game this past week. ... He really did a nice job. That catch he made in double coverage against Buffalo was big time.

with less than 4 minutes to go, Moore went deep and was covered by McKelvin and safety George Wilson. But Jason Campbell threw the ball up anyway and Moore made sure it worked out. He outleaped both defenders for the ball, coming away with what is for now his signature catch. It was one of those trust issues, Campbell said. You see him getting behind the safety and you know hes going to be pretty much one on one with the corner. Guy went up and got the ball at its highest point and made a play for you. Around the league, you always see guys making plays and thats exactly what he did he made plays. ... As a quarterback,

Hargreaves was still on the pitch when Balotelli scored his rst goal of the season to make it 2-0 in the 38th minute. On a night of comebacks, Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard returned after six months in a 2-1 victory over Brighton. Former City striker Craig Bellamy rewarded new club Liverpool for its decision to resign him on Aug. 31 by scoring in his rst start since returning after four years. Gerrard came on as a substitute for the last 15 minutes after a recurring groin injury kept him out since March.

Continued from page 11
It doesnt hurt when you have the biggest, baddest solider in the pool leading you into that battle. And Willow Glen definitely put on a fight. The Rams outscored the Panthers 7-5 in the third quarter to pull within two. Pratt continued to have her way with the Rams, scoring inside and out to try and keep the momentum on the home side of the pool. The fourth quarter was an old-fashioned shootout between the Rams and Pratt. Thirty seconds in, Willow Glen got within one. Pratt responded 11 seconds later with a goal inside of two meters. Back-to-back-to-back goals by the Rams completed the comeback and actually gave them a 16-15 lead. Ten seconds after that, Pratt come up huge, rising up and firing a laser beam from 10 meters out to tie things up at 16. The score would stay that way for more than three minutes, until Pratt forced a turnover on the edge of the Panthers offensive third, found some open space, turned and scored from about six meters out to give the Panthers a 17-16 lead. I worked really hard over the summer on my shot, Pratt said, I just wanted to keep us ahead, keep us in the game, so you kind of do what you have to do. Its kind of a catch-22, having one player and relying on her isnt an offense, and thats not going to be successful at the other levels. Keirns said. But when you have someone the other team cant stop, you have to keep looking to that same player and Charlotte was unstoppable today. It took a nice goal off a set play by the Rams with 12 seconds to play to send the game into overtime.
After a small discussion between coaches as to how they wanted to go about ending the non-league affair, it was concluded that two three-minute overtime halves would be played. Pratt opened the overtime scoring with a lovely transition goal, stealing the ball at the outer edge of her defensive third, then swimming three quarters of the goal with the sphere at her side, stopping some four meters out and firing home her 14th goal of the game. But Willow Glen responded, scoring twice in the first overtime period to take a 19-18 lead going into the games final three minutes. With half the second overtime period gone, Pratt capped off an incredible afternoon in the pool by scoring two more goals. The first was on a nice diagonal cut inside of two meters and the second was with 51 seconds left which proved to be the game winner. Pratts 16 goals came on only 22 shots thats almost a 73 percent clip. Lindsey Fox scored twice for the Panthers in game. Niki Reynolds found the back of the net as well. Tomlinson scored as well before being ejected from the match. Perseverance (was the difference), Keirns said, Thats exactly what were trying to do right now. Its invaluable to have a double overtime experience, a close game, everyone is getting playing time. Theyre going to have a good week learning how to fight through. It definitely brought the girls closer together, Pratt said, the girls were going crazy on the bench, especially the ones that couldnt go back in. Close games, they take a lot of focus, especially when you have to play two extra periods. So its definitely was a test for us today.

Recently, tens of thousands of homes up and down the Eastern seaboard and as far north and inland as Vermont were damaged by the torrential rain and erce winds of Hurricane Irene. Unlike others in neighboring states, we were lucky and the storm did less damage to our area of Rhode Island than predicted. Only had a few trees were blown down on our property, and some large limbs snapped from others. My vegetable garden is not as picturesque as it was before Irene blew into town with 70 mph winds. Tender leaved lettuces and brittle pepper plants didnt fare well, nor did any of the large-leafed kale, the climbing beans on their 6-foot trellises, or the cardoons with their giant silver leaves. These battered casualties will all end up in the compost pile along with bushel baskets full of unripe green tomatoes knocked off their vines. Still, surprisingly, a good number of plants did manage to weather the storm. They say gardening teaches patience. Changes brought on by storms are inevitable, and in the case of large storms, a gardens look can be greatly altered. However, along with change to a landscape comes opportunity. One of the trees that blew down in the storm was a beautiful yellowwood tree (Cladrastis lutea). Hardy
in zones four to eight, I planted it 15 years ago near our driveway, where its panicles of creamy white owers could be appreciated in the late spring whenever we passed by. Growing behind the yellowwood are several large conifers that created the perfect backdrop for this elegant deciduous tree. I was saddened to see the yellowwood go down, but I was relieved that it fell into an open area and did no damage to other trees. After I cut the tree up and removed it, I realized that what was once a wideopen space 15 years ago has since lled in with the growth of other trees. The hole the yellowwood left is now a perfect spot for a tree that needs a little shelter. For some time now I have wanted to plant a Franklinia tree, but couldnt nd the right spot. Thanks to Hurricane Irene, now I have it. Franklinia alatamaha has an interesting history. This small summerblooming tree has cup-shaped creamy white owers with bright yellow stamens and boasts exceptional fall color. Hardy in zones ve

its acidity, can be good for (cleaning) hard water and soap scum, said Rebecca Sutton, a senior scientist with the Environmental Working Group, a public interest group devoted to protecting health and the environment. Baking soda, on the other hand, is alkaline, said Annie B. Bond, author of books on green living, including Home Enlightenment (Rodale, 2008). Mix the baking soda it with some water and make a paste, and it can be used as a scrub. And dont forget the soap a mild castile soap made from olive or vegetable oils. Just as the move toward green in general is growing, so is the interest in green cleaning products, said Urvashi Rangan, director of the consumer safety group for Consumer Reports. The number of products on the market has grown. Within what we have looked at, anecdotally speaking, we have seen some green cleaners start to perform better and better, she said. What makes a cleaner green? In my book, green has to be both good for health and the environment, Bond said. Many conventional cleaners can damage both, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA advises consumers to be

It recommends products that are biodegradable and solventfree, have a bio base, such as pine or citrus, and are low in volatile organic compounds. However, labels arent always a great source of information about whats in a cleaner; companies arent required to list all the ingredients, although some do. Sutton cautioned consumers to be alert for greenwashing, in which a company promotes the one green aspect of the product but doesnt give the full picture of other ingredients. A lot of folks, because of the quandary, are moving toward homemade cleaners vinegar, baking soda, a lot of recipes you can nd out on line, Sutton said. The effectiveness of these cleaners largely depends on the size or depth of the job. Rangan said some homemade bathroom-cleaning products are better suited for people who are not leaving the hard cleaning jobs until the last moment. Also, she said, vinegar is not going to kill some of the bacteria you want to kill if, say, you had someone sick in the house. Alcohol or hydrogen peroxide might better serve that purpose, and soap gets you a long way, Rangan said. Stronger isnt necessarily better, and sterilization and disinfection isnt always the goal, she said. Know when youve got an issue going on. Some solutions for typical bathroom trouble spots:

ment ofcials attending the Sacramento conference called on the state to guarantee the long-term funding they say counties will need to make the shift work. Brown promised, as he has before, to do whatever it takes to guarantee the money through a constitutional amendment. He wants to place the measure before voters in November 2012. Im not leaving Sacramento until we get a constitutional guarantee to protect law enforcement, Brown said to applause. The law Brown signed in April was prompted by the states scal problems and by a federal court ruling requiring the state to reduce the population of its adult prisons as way to improve inmate medical care. The shift will not mean a release of current state inmates. Rather, lowerlevel offenders convicted after Oct. 1 will serve their time in county jails or alternative programs instead of being sent to state prison. The offenders who will be redirected to county jails must have been convicted of crimes that are considered non-violent and non-serious, such as property, white collar and drug offenses. Those convicted of sexual offenses also are not eligible. Additionally, most ex-convicts on parole will be monitored by county parole ofces rather than state agents.

bility over about 25,000 convicts who otherwise would have gone to state prison, according to the latest projections from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Those already in state prison will complete their sentences there. Some of the most prominent critics, including Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley and Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones, did not attend the conference. Jones has said local law enforcement is not yet ready to handle the responsibility and called on the state to postpone the transfer. Cooley has predicted an increase in crime as criminals are squeezed out of already crowded local jails. State Sen. Sharon Runner said the realignment is not only irresponsible and bad public policy but ... extremely dangerous. Now is the time for Californians to get a dog, buy a gun and install an alarm system. The state of California is no longer going to protect you, Runner, RLancaster, said in a statement after Browns speech. Assemblyman Jim Nielsen, R-Gerber, said the state is dumping its problems on local governments. He questioned if state funding will continue in the long run. For decades county governments, city governments and local citizens have heard that we will take care of you, Nielsen said in a statement. Seldom does the state government ever keep its promises. None of the local ofcials at the conference spoke forcefully against the that Greece may default on its debts. That would destabilize other debt-laden European countries, such as Spain and Italy. It would also cause substantial losses at French, German and other banks. European leaders should quickly implement an agreement reached in July that provides the regions bailout fund with more exibility, the IMF said. The agreement allows the bailout fund to purchase bonds issued by debtstrapped countries such as Greece and Ireland, and would make it easier for Europe to resolve its debt crisis. And Europes larger banks, which hold substantial amounts of Greek and other troubled government bonds, should boost their capital reserves, the IMF said. That would protect them in case the bonds lose more of their value or Greece defaults on its debts.
THE DRAIN
To de-grease and sweeten sink and tub drains, pour 1/2 cup of baking soda down drain followed by 1 cup vinegar; let bubble for 15 minutes; rinse with hot water, Consumer Reports Greener Choices website says.

If necessary, governments should provide it. And it said the U.S. government should help homeowners reduce their mortgage debt. Risks are elevated, and time is running out to tackle vulnerabilities that threaten the global nancial system and the ongoing economic recovery, the IMF said in its semi-annual Global Financial Stability report. The crisis in Europe is entering a dangerous new phase. Fears are growing
THE TOILET
The toilet bowl is difcult, even under the best of circumstances, Bond said. Go to a health food store and get a really good bathroom toilet product. For those who want to try a homemade product, Consumer Reports suggests pouring a cup of borax into the toilet and letting it set overnight. In the morning, scrub and ush, it said. For an extra-strength cleaner, add 1/4 cup vinegar to the borax.

ctober and November are the months to plant trees, shrubs and California native plants. Planting them at this time of year gives them time to grow roots and get settled in to their new homes during the rainy season. This means that right now is the time to make plans to ll those gaps in your garden by planting new plants or moving existing plants. Before you buy and dig, think about the conditions in your garden (such as how much sun it gets and the type of soil); and make sure that the plant you bring home or want to move will do well in its new home. The phrase, Grow where you are planted is great inspiration for people, but it is pretty useless when it comes to plants. You shouldnt put a rose just anywhere; roses want a lot of sun (at least six hours a day) and soil that drains well and is moist. An azalea would love all of that moisture but would fry in so much sun. A brief time out for a personal plea: Can we please stop planting the European white birch on the Peninsula? Yes, it is a gorgeous tree, with its peeling bark and graceful, tumbling branches. But it likes to be in moist soil which few of us have and it is terribly susceptible to aphids, who provide a steady drip of honeydew. (If you dont know what honeydew is and are feeling reckless, park your car next to a birch). Your planning should also consider creating convivial communities in your garden: grouping plants that like the same
Jerusalem artichokes were, along with potatoes, among the first native American plants to be introduced in Europe. Although potatoes soon eclipsed them in popularity, Jerusalem artichokes are still liked by some. They even sometimes show up on our supermarket shelves, often called sunchokes. The edible parts of both plants are their swollen, underground stems (tuberous rhizomes). Those of Jerusalem artichoke are slightly sweet and, when raw, have the crunchy texture and some of the avor of water chestnuts. Besides avor (if you like it), there are many good reasons to grow this plant. Sunchokes are among the easiest of vegetables to grow. They have no pest problems, are hardy perennials so never need replanting, and multiply rapidly. Watch out often too rapidly!

Fuseau or American; for heavy yields, grow French Mammoth White; for all around good yield up to a month earlier than most other varieties, grow Stampede. Another way to start the plants is just to dig up some wild ones (with permission) and transplant them to your garden. Begin harvesting the tubers after the leaves begin to die in autumn. Harvest them as needed because the best place to store them is right in the ground. They dont keep well in the refrigerator. Maintain the crop as a perennial by always leaving some tubers in the ground to grow the next season. But dont worry: Youll never nd every last piece of every last tuber anyway.
EASY-TO-GROW OR WEEDY?
If Jerusalem artichokes are beginning to sound weedy, yes, they have picked up that reputation. The same could be said for horseradish, mint and lemon balm, all easy-to-grow, garden-worthy plants. No need to plant Jerusalem artichoke in the vegetable garden; its a perennial and little affected by rabbits or deer. Do give it a sunny location though. For your initial planting, drop tubers into holes a few inches deep and about a foot apart. Named varieties are available. Some are red, others are white. For less knobby tubers, grow Gold Nugget,

holes in your garden, think about the mature size and shape of the plants you are considering. One of the most common mistakes I see as I walk through neighborhoods is plants planted too closely together. Folks, the heart of a hydrangea is to be big: the common garden hydrangea (h. macrophylla) wants to be from four- to eight-feet tall and just as wide maybe more. If you dont give her the room she wants to grow, you will have to constantly prune her. In addition to size, plant to accommodate a plants natural shape. If its nature is to be a mound with a three-foot diameter, plant it so that it is centered in a space that will allow it to do its thing. So often I see shrubs jammed up against a brick edging and then pruned to a boxy shape to keep them from extending over the edging. Instead, judge how wide your plant will be at maturity, and gure where to plant it so it is centered. Yes, it wont look as lush at rst, but you will save yourself time and spare yourself grief by putting it in its proper spot.

conditions. Azaleas, rhododendrons, ferns, astilbes, begonias and Japanese maples are happy in moist shade. Dont sentence them to a life of misery by planting them with salvias in your sunny border. As pretty as moisture-loving plants are and no one loves a rhodie in full girly ounce than I do in most areas of San Mateo County, planting them makes it more difcult and expensive to keep your garden in good shape. You end up having to fuss over them constantly checking for moisture because they dont naturally do well in our summer-dry Mediterranean climate (They long to be in Seattle and Tokyo, not in San Carlos). Which leads me to sing the praises of California native plants. They are a hardy bunch that grew up in California, which means they thrive under our natural gardening conditions. A mature California oak, in silhouette against the evening sky; and the violet blue owers of ceanothus, humming with bees probing for nectar, instantly lift your spirits and ask only for an occasional drink of water and a little pruning. However, not all natives do well anywhere in California. For example, unless you live on the coast, dont plant a coast redwood (sequoia sempervirens) in your garden (Im talking to you, Redwood City). It wants moderate to regular water, and is happiest in light shade. Otherwise it pouts, grows slowly and gets lanky. Finally, as you ponder how to ll in those

WHATS IN A NAME?
Neither Jerusalem artichoke nor sunchoke seem like good names for this plant. (And names are important; how many people
ate kiwifruits when they were called Chinese gooseberries, or avocados when they were known as alligator pears?) How about changing Jerusalem artichokes name to a translation of the original Indian name, sun roots? Or, how about going back to the original Italian name, girasole, which means turning to the sun, but which was anglicized to Jerusalem? We might as well drop the artichoke.
Gardeners and do-it-yourselfers are making the sparks y, and the nations utilities want them to stop. Residential customers have been blamed for most of the damage done each year to buried gas and electrical lines, something that could have been prevented by phoning ahead for the lines locations, ofcials say. About 70,000 incidents were reported in 2009 where people didnt call 811 before they did any digging, said Bob Kipp, president of Common Ground Alliance (CGA), an industry-backed damage prevention group. Somewhere between 40,000 to 50,000 of those were caused by homeowners people trying to put in a new fence, patio, maybe some shrubs or a mailbox. The nationwide 811 line alerts utilities about proposed construction projects. They can respond by sending crews to locate and mark the service lines. An estimated 100 billion feet of gas, electric, water, sewer and communications lines are routed underground in the United States. At least half of all homeowners planning to dig on their property this year will do so without knowing where those potentially dangerous corridors run, according to a recent CGA survey. In this case, what you dont know denitely can hurt you. Take the case of the Muskegon, Mich., man who ruptured a gas line in April while uprooting a tree stump from his yard. The homeowner called in the leak while standing nearby using his cell phone, said Maureen McCaffrey, an operations analyst with DTE Energy Co. in Detroit. That could have sparked a re or explosion with static electricity. The tab for that incident was just over $1,600. Every state has a one-call law, requiring that you check with a utility before doing any digging. The rules are similar, although enforcement varies dramatically state to state, Kipp

said. Penalties can be steep, as much as triple the cost of repairs and losses. Professionals know enough to call, Kipp said. Homeowners is where we have to expand our message. The industry is using banners and billboards, direct mail and newspaper ads, speakers bureaus, National Safe Digging Month and Call 811 campaigns to get the word out. Were becoming more assertive, sending out DVDs to schools and making appearances, said DTE Energys McCaffrey. We target kids 8 to 11 years old. When they get older, they may remember this as they dig in their yards. Its also an effective way to reach parents. So plan ahead. Call on a Monday or Tuesday if you plan to do some digging over the weekend. That should provide time for the utility to send a representative, without charge, to mark the lines with paint or ags. Consider moving the landscaping or gardening project if its too close to the utility line markings. More and different kinds of infrastructure are going into the ground, including beroptic cable for networking and telecommunications, Kipp said. So many people are working out of their homes that careless digging is becoming not only a safety issue but a business issue, he said. It means dollars and cents to them for any outage inconvenience.
DATEBOOK
puter. He does not think the position is a fulltime one. I dont intend to be in the ofce 40 hours a week, Warden said. It might be 20 hours, 30 hours or five Terri Cook hours a week, it will vary. He also said the clerks ofce wastes a lot of paper. For her part, Cook said her ofce in the middle of developing a long-term technology plan for the ofce. I am constantly Dave Warden looking for ways to provide efciencies. I would love to go paperless, she said. Cook has recruited interns from Notre Dame de Namur University to backscan old city documents dating back to the 1950s at no expense to the city, she said. Warden said that effort was a waste of time. He touts his background in management and technology as being a way to streamline the ofce at little cost to the city. He also wants to look at an overlap in responsibilities among all city workers in all departments and then cross-train them so they can perform other duties during downtime. But Cook said the city is already moving in that direction. Cross-training is an ongoing process, she said. I am pleasantly surresidents in the area and also notied residents in the area by telephone Tuesday night, said company spokeswoman Brittany Chord. Venting the line is standard preparation for hydrostatic testing, Chord told the Daily Journal yesterday. It is part of modernizing the system. PG&E plans to hydrostatic test more than 150 miles of transmission pipeline throughout the state, she said. A hydrostatic test nds leaks in highpressure pipes using dyed water. We sent a communication letter to our customers and invited them to an open house, Chord said about the venting and pipe tests. Our customers want to know what we are doing and what we are doing is making sure the pipeline is operating safely. The work is being done where Ralston Avenue meets State Route 92, close to prised by staffs recognition to step up and help out when needed. In the end, though, Warden said it was an issue of saving the city money. The classic problem with government is we are not really doing things enough to bring down costs, Warden said. He said he is willing to give up being mayor of Belmont next year to bring the ofce into the 21st century. The clerks job needs to be a exible, part-time position, he said. Government is about volunteerism. It is not about making $100,000 a year, he said. Both Warden and Cook have extensive track records of serving the city dating back to the late 1990s. Cook, 53, was rst elected to the City Council in 1997 after serving on the Planning Commission. Warden is in the middle of a four-year term on the council, which he was elected to in 2009. He rst ran for a City Council seat back in 1999, when he was endorsed by Cook, who was on the council at the time. Warden, 50, served on the Parks and Recreation Commission before being reelected to the council in 2009. He served on the citys Planning Commission before that and is a medical software developer. Both have served as mayor. Cook is endorsed by assemblymen Jerry Hill and Rich Gordon and Carole Groom, president of the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors. Wardens key endorsement for the position is current Belmont Mayor Coralin Feierbach. The election is Tuesday, Nov. 8. Interstate 280 in a fenced-in valve yard. The gas is vented into the atmosphere, where it dissipates, she said. PG&E crews were venting a nine-mile stretch of a 30-inch gas transmission line from San Bruno to Belmont yesterday in preparation for hydrostatic pressure testing that will be done next week. In total, the utility released 3.9 million cubic feet of gas yesterday, Chord said. The transmission line being vented, line 132, is the same one that burst in the Glenview neighborhood in San Bruno last year, killing eight, injuring many and destroying 38 homes. The portion of the line in the Glenview neighborhood, however, has been decommissioned and will no longer be used by the utility. Going south from the blast site, however, the utility will pressure test the remainder of the line to make sure it is safe, Chord said.

$100,000 a year. Most city clerks in the county are appointed positions but in Belmont the position is an elected one. The clerk answers to the public, city staff and the council and operates independently, with no oversight or evaluations given by the city manager or council. Warden, 50, thinks its time the clerks position becomes a more volunteer one, like council seats are. Activities in the city clerks ofce are mostly administrative and support work that can be done in the city managers ofce, Warden told the Daily Journal in an endorsement interview Tuesday. To change the clerks seat from an elected one to an appointed one, however, would have to be decided by Belmont voters at the ballot box. If the city does go in that direction, Cook, 53, is not opposed to it, although she said the elected city clerk has served the public well in Belmont. Working under a city manager, Cook said, a clerk may be asked to do things with which they may not be comfortable. If there is a desire to change it, voters would have to decide to change whether the position is elected, Cook said during the endorsement interview with the Daily Journal. But Im not sure the ofce is broken. Wardens top priority, if elected, is to signicantly improve the efciency of the ofce and to take council meeting minutes in real time on a laptop com-

THURSDAY, SEPT. 22, 2011 VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)If you find yourself to
be a bit restless, put aside your plans and call a pal who is always ready to do something interesting. What you dont think of he or she will. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)Channel your efforts toward a single goal, and youll end up accomplishing far more than you ever thought possible. Putting too many things on your plate could cause an unwieldy meal. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)Some knowledge you acquired by simply being a good listener will prove to be immensely valuable. Itll prove how
desirable terms; instead be prepared to call the other guys bluff. If the conditions are unsatisfactory, take a walk and let him or her do all the sweating. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)A business partner will emulate your mode of operation, so its going to be up to you to supply the motivating factors to get what you want. He or she will then back you up. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)No one will have to tell you where your opportunities lieyoull be cognizant of them all on your own. Be imaginative, energetic and enterprising as to how you claim them.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)You should be able to put to rest your enormous assumption that someone you like never notices you when this person starts showering you with all kinds of attention. ARIES (March 21-April 19)Because you know you have people in your corner who will back you up, youre able to be more daring about what you do and how far you can take things. You should be able to get what you want. TAURUS (April 20-May 20)Your imagination knows no boundaries and, as a result, youll be able to come up with something new and more daring thatll capture the exact results youre looking for. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)Knowing what you want
is only one part of your goalactually going after it could be a bit more challenging. It might take a lot of courage to accomplish your aims. CANCER (June 21-July 22)Unless you are challenged, you wont actually have any reason to put forth your best effort. However, if a gauntlet is thrown down, the Galahad within you will quickly emerge. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Use an indirect approach toward achieving your purposes, especially if there is someone who always questions your efforts. Youll have your goal accomplished before anybody notices it.
