PROPHET MUHAMMAD PROTESTS GIVING WAY TO DEBATE OVER FREE
SPEECH IN NEW MUSLIM WORLD
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A judge awarded Half Moon Bay an inter-
im $10 million judgment yesterday in an arbi-
tration case against the insurance company
that failed to pay claims related to the botched
development known as Beachwood.
The city went into arbitration against
Insurance Company of the West for reim-
bursement the city sought for payments made
in the $18 million court-ordered settlement
agreement related to the Beachwood property
and its former owner Joyce Yamagiwa.
Mayor Allan Alifano announced yesterday
that retired state Supreme Court Justice
Edward A. Panelli sided with the city in the
arbitration case.
While we are very pleased with this posi-
tive outcome, we will consider this arbitration
fully settled when the funds are in our citys
hands. At this time I feel it is appropriate to
thank our staff and our legal counsel for all
the hard work they devoted to this case. And
at the same time this also did require our
council to make some difcult decisions to
continue to pursue this case, Alifano wrote in
a statement.
The council will meet soon to discuss the
best possible use of the money, Alifano wrote.
Much of the money, he wrote, would go
toward paying down bond debt over a court-
ordered $18 million settlement with the
Beachwood property developer.
Regardless of exactly how these settlement
funds are used, they will free up revenue for
critical needs within our community, especial-
ly our library, for example, Alifano wrote.
The city currently is paying more than $1

Increased class sizes and fur-
loughs could be part of the plan to
keep the Belmont-Redwood Shores
Elementary School District from
decit spending as much as $5.4
million in future years.
Last year, the district decient
spent more than $850,000, accord-
ing to the unaudited actual report
presented to the board Thursday
night. The habit of spending more
than has been coming in becomes a
problem in the coming school years
when the districts budget forecast
means the district wont have the 3
percent required in savings. That is
if changes dont happen. To address
this, the districts Budget Advisory
Committee has suggested looking at
increasing class sizes and imple-
menting district-wide furlough days.
Hope is no longer a solution. We
need a concrete solution, said Co-
Superintendent Nellie Hungerford
of the budget projections. She added
it needs to be a balance of raising
revenue and making cuts.

PARIS Looking for that must-have
ornament for a cavernous living room or
backyard lawn? Perk up, Sothebys is
putting a complete Mammoth skeleton
up for sale in Paris.
The auction house plans the Oct. 2

even a dinosaur egg and woolly rhinoc-
eros skeleton from the Kashiwagi
museum in Japan.
Sothebys said in a statement

Mammuthus primigenius, from Siberia,
dates to the Middle Paleolithic period
when Neanderthals roamed the earth.
The house estimates it will go for more
than $240,000.

been arranged in a bit of an upward-fac-
ing pose, measures 3.5 meters (11 1/2
feet) in height just slightly taller than
it is long.
Officials: Man wanted
to cook rare sea turtle
TAMPA, Fla. A rare sea turtle that
a Florida sherman wanted to cook and
eat has been released back into the wild.
Ofcials at The Florida Aquarium say
the sherman snagged the Kemps rid-
ley sea turtle in May. Instead of releas-
ing it, he put the 15-pound juvenile tur-
tle in a tank in his backyard in Tampa.
Aquarium official Susan Coy tells
The Tampa Tribune that the sherman
planned to cook and eat the endangered
species, but a neighbor reported him to
authorities.
Its not unheard of for turtle meat to
be used in dishes such as soups.
Gary Morse, a spokesman for the
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission, says the sherman told
investigators he didnt know the turtle
was endangered.
The turtle named Lucky was reha-
bilitated at the aquarium until
Wednesday, when it was released.

A motorcyclist who led San Bruno police
on a high-speed chase down the Peninsula
after dragging an ofcer that spotted him lin-
gering around the scene of the deadly San
Bruno explosion and re faces nearly two
decades in prison after a jury convicted him of
felony evasion and assault charges.
A jury deliberated less than a day before
convicting Paul Anthony Lee, 36, of evading a
police ofcer, battery on an ofcer and assault
on an ofcer with a deadly weapon referring
to his vehicle. Following the verdict, Judge
Lisa Novak also found true Lees prior prison
terms which, as a second-striker, could push
his sentence up to 19 years and eight months
in prison. Lee had been out of custody on a
$100,000 bail bond but Novak ordered him
into custody without bail pending a Nov. 19
sentencing hearing.
Lees case made head-
lines in September 2011
because it was the first
case linked to the deadly
gas line explosion and re
that signicantly damaged
the Glenview neighbor-
hood and killed eight. A
San Bruno police ofcer
and gang enforcement
ofcer securing the area
spotted Lee and a woman on his motorcycle at
the end of the re scene hours after the Sept.
9, 2010 blaze erupted. An ofcer, checking on
Lees intent, asked him to dismount the bike
but he instead sped away. One ofcer grabbed
Lees jacket and was dragged several feet
before Lee drove over his foot and sped up to
60 mph through the city to Highway 101. The
chase ended in San Carlos when the motorcy-
cle died and Lee was apprehended.
Lee reportedly told authorities after his
arrest he was riding around the scene to look
at the remains and ed out of fear because of
previous convictions.
Lee is currently on parole, having been sent
to prison in 2003 for possession of a con-
trolled substance and a rearm, in 2005 for
attempted kidnapping of his ex-girlfriend in
front of her family and in 2009 for possession
of methamphetamine.
During closing arguments, Lees defense
maintained the evidence against him was
insufficient because of the slow speed
involved and relatively minor injury to the
police ofcer involved.
After Lees arrest, several other cases
linked to the San Bruno explosion and re
were led but those involved alleged fraud to
obtain aid instead of altercations with the law
enforcement members charged with site secu-
rity.
Biker guilty of post-fire police chase
Paul Lee
An unincorporated Redwood City man
who admitted hitting his teenage neighbors
poodle in the head with a piece of brick
because he was angry pleaded not guilty yes-
terday to animal cruelty and set a December
trial date.
Marcos Montano-Topete, 32, is accused of
injuring the 5-year-old poodle, Globsis, so
badly in March the dog had to be euthanized.
His defense attorney has said Montano-
Topete was defending his dog that had
already been impregnated by the poodle on
two previous occasions.
The law allows a person
to act in defense of prop-
erty in a life-threatening
situation but not simply
for an animal tryst, said
District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.
After entering his plea,
Montano-Topete was
scheduled for trial Dec.
17 following a Nov. 19
pretrial hearing.
Prosecutors say Montano-Topete
approached his 16-year-old neighbor on
March 26 and told the girl he was sick of the
dog coming onto his property and had struck
it. The chief veterinarian for the Peninsula
Humane Society testified during Montano-
Topetes preliminary hearing two weeks ago
the animal had multiple skull fractures. A
sheriffs deputy who respond-
ed to the scene also testified
that Montano-Topete admitted
hitting the animal.
Montano-Topete is free
from custody on a $10,000
bail bond.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
As the family of missing 69-year-old San
Mateo resident Charles Dowd have traveled to
Colorado in an effort to nd their husband and
father who went missing from a Chicago-
bound Amtrak train last week, two San Mateo
police detectives have also traveled to the state
to support a massive search effort.
Dowd was last heard from Thursday, Sept.
13 when he indicated to family he was on a
train leaving Denver after hopping on the
California Zephyr in Emeryville the day
before.
The next day, however, when the train
arrived in Chicago, Amtrak ofcials found his
luggage, cellphone and medication in his
sleeper car but no sign of Dowd, a former San
Francisco reghter and small business owner
in Burlingame who has lived in San Mateo the
past 10 years.
Amtrak ofcials have indicated Dowd may
have opened an exterior door and fallen out
somewhere between Fort Morgan, Colo. and
McCook, Neb.
Dowds wife Patricia and two children,
Jennifer and Kevin, are in Fort Morgan now,
helping to coordinate a search effort over
approximately 160 miles of train tracks.
The Yuma County (Colo.) Sheriffs Ofce
recently completed an air and ground search
of the train route and the immediate area in its
jurisdiction with no sign of Dowd, according
to Amtrak.
Dowd was headed to Montreal to visit with
his son Kevin, daughter Jennifer Dowd told
the Daily Journal yesterday.
He was an avid traveler
and liked to take different
routes when visiting his
son, Jennifer Dowd said.
He would y to Boston or
upstate New York, then
drive to Montreal.
On this trip, Dowd had
planned to take a train
home from Montreal to
Vancouver then back to
the Bay Area, Jennifer Dowd said.
He never went the same route. He was on
another adventure, she said.
More than a week since Dowd went miss-
ing, the family said the experience has been
surreal.
I feel like Im having an out-of-body expe-
rience, Jennifer Dowd said.
In the days immediately following Dowds
disappearance, Jennifer Dowd said the family
was not satised with Amtraks effort to nd
the missing man or its effort to communicate
with the family.
With the involvement of the San Mateo
Police Department, however, she said Amtrak
has now done better with communicating its
efforts with the family.
We had a little frustration with Amtrak but
weve seen a marked improvement in commu-
nication since San Mateo police offered to
help coordinate the effort, she said.
Jennifer Dowd calls her father dude and
describes him as a kind of kooky fellow. He
even drove to Four Corners once with his cat
for a picture-taking adventure, she said.
Brown was last seen wearing a Brown
Princess Cruises Brisbane Australia T-shirt,
gray camouage cargo pants and white sneak-
ers with Velcro straps, glasses and possibly a
gray bucket hat.
He recently took a cruise with his wife from
Australia to the Bay Area, Jennifer said.
The family is in Fort Morgan working with
Amtrak police to help coordinates search
efforts in eastern Colorado to western
Nebraska. The family and other supporters are
contacting hospitals and shelters in towns
where the Zephyr stopped between Fort
Morgan and Naperville, Ill.
Jennifer, Patricia and Kevin Dowd have vis-
ited every station stop in the area to post
missing person iers.
The Dowds even spent hours at a library in
Colorado going through phone books to con-
tact county sheriffs departments along the
trains route.
This has been really, really stressful for us.
We are so emotionally charged, Jennifer
Dowd told the Daily Journal.
Charles Dowd is described as a white male,
about 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing 175
pounds, with gray hair and blue eyes.
The family has established a Facebook page
and a Twitter account to provide updated
information about the search for Dowd. Go

Three Norteo gangmembers
accused of attacking a Persian man
with fists and beer bottles at a
Redwood City taqueria because he
wore a blue shirt and was believed
to be Hispanic will stand trial on
felony assault and gang charges.
Jonathan Fuentes Ortiz, 22, Juan
Carlos Madero, 30, and Robert
Gallegos, 29, have previously
pleaded not guilty but were each
held to answer after an all-day pre-
liminary hearing. They return to
court Oct. 4 for Superior Court
arraignment.
The July 21 case is a potential
second strike for Madero and Ortiz
and came less than a year after Ortiz
was jailed for attacking the father
he blamed for his mothers impris-
onment on attempted murder
charges. She is serving 13 years to
life for feeding his father a poi-
soned milkshake and kidnapping a
2-year-old Ortiz and taking him to
Mexico for eight years.
For the attack on his father, Ortiz
also received a ve-year suspended
prison term which may be imposed
if he is convicted in the recent case.
Prosecutors say the three defen-
dants and other Norteo gangmem-
bers encountered the victim at
Tacos El Grullenese at 768
Woodside Road
in Redwood
City. They
allegedly taunt-
ed the man, not
believing his
claims of being
Persian, and
Madero report-
edly punched
him in the face.
The entire
group then
attacked the
man with broken
bottles and
p u n c h e s ,
according to the
D i s t r i c t
A t t o r n e y s
Ofce.
The man suf-
fered several
cuts to his face.
Police reported
the attack was
caught on sur-
veillance video
and witnesses
identified the
defendants.
Madero and
Ortiz remain in
custody in lieu
of $225,000
bail. Gallegos is held on in lieu of
$200,000 bail.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI President Barack
Obama cast Mitt Romney on
Thursday as an out-of-touch chal-
lenger for the White House and an
advocate of education cuts that
could cause teacher strikes to spread
from Chicago to other cities. The
Republican countered that the U.S.
economy is bumping along the bot-
tom under the current administra-
tion and he predicted victory in the
fall.
The two men eyed each other
across hotly contested Florida, a
state with 29 electoral votes, more
than any other battleground in the
close race for the White House.
When you express an attitude
that half the country considers itself
victims, that
somehow they
want to be
dependent on
government, my
thinking is
maybe you
havent gotten
around a lot, the
president said.
That was in
response to a question about
Romneys recent observation that
47 percent of Americans pay no
income tax and believe they are vic-
tims and entitled to an array of fed-
eral benets.
Obama spoke at a town hall-style
forum aired by the Spanish-lan-
guage television network Univision.
For his part, Romney was eager to
move past that controversy, which
has knocked him off stride. He dis-
closed plans for a three-day bus tour
early next week
through Ohio
with running
mate Paul Ryan
and sought to
return the cam-
paign focus to
the economic
issues that have
dominated the
race all year.
At a fundraiser in Sarasota, Fla.,
Romney looked ahead to his tele-
vised head-to-head encounters with
Obama this fall. Hes a very elo-
quent speaker, and so Im sure in the
debates, as last time ... hell be very
eloquent in describing his vision,
the Republican said. But he cant
win by his words, because his
record speaks so loudly in our ears.
What he has done in the last four
years is establish an economy thats
bumping along the bottom.

SACRAMENTO A key com-
ponent of Californias landmark
greenhouse gas emissions law
would impose enormous costs on
businesses at a time when the
states economy is sputtering, oil
reners, manufacturers and others
said Thursday.
Fees from the states pending
cap-and-trade program for carbon
emissions amount to a $1 billion-a-
year tax increase on about 500 busi-
nesses in the state, the California
Air Resources Board was told.
While the board wasnt voting or
taking any signicant action regard-
ing cap-and-trade at Thursdays
meeting, it was the last chance for
businesses to be heard before the
program begins.
The California Chamber of
Commerce and others have written
Gov. Jerry Brown urging him to halt
the start of the program, which
begins in earnest on Nov. 14 and is
the central element of Californias
2006 climate-change law, AB32.
A key issue for those opposed to
the program is costs associated
with the permits called
allowances which the program
will require businesses to buy,
some at auction.
In general, cap-and-trade will
place a limit, or cap, of the emis-
sions of heat-trapping gases that are
allowed from pollution producers
like reneries and cement manufac-
turers.

Clean Up Day, held Saturday,
Sept. 15, was a big success. Over
100 volunteers met at Rotary

picking up litter at various parks,

Much of the debris that ends up
in the Bay comes from streets
and neighborhoods where storm
water runoff carries it through
storm drain inlets into creeks and
canals and eventually into the
Bay. This years volunteers
picked up 620 pounds (696 gal-

Graduation
track helps
admission
Torrance Daily Breeze
L
ast week, the California
Community Colleges
Board of Governors
passed a policy that is perhaps
unfortunate but is certainly neces-
sary in these tough budgetary
times. It gives priority to young
students on a graduation track
over everyone else.
While Californias community
colleges have long been a place
where anyone regardless of aca-
demic stature could sign up for
pretty much any class she or he
desired, thats a luxury the state
can no longer afford.
In fact, its a luxury that has
been making it extremely hard for
young students aiming for the AA
degree offered by the community
colleges and those hoping to trans-
fer to a public or private four-year
college or university to even get
into the required classes.
Going forward, those students
will have enrollment priority
among the 2.4 million students at
112 California community college
campuses.
Students who already have more
than 100 units worth of college
courses adults seeking to brush
up on their Italian before a Roman
holiday, say, or even just the so-
called perennial students who have
been hanging around campuses for
six or seven years will essen-
tially go to the back of the line.
Enrollment priority will be
given to those who have gone
through a formal orientation and
are on track to achieve a degree.
Exceptions will be allowed.
High-unit majors have an out.
There will be an appeals process.
The policy wont begin until 2014,
as some of the details need to be
decided.
But until and unless funding
from Sacramento increases, or
tuition is hiked markedly, there
simply is not going to be enough
money in the system to offer
enough courses for all comers.
Despite the recent hikes in
tuition, the current $46-per-unit
cost for community college classes
is an extraordinary bargain. The
per-unit fee is currently just $36;
in 2007 it was just $20.
To keep it from rising for
young, low-income students, the
colleges should look at realistic
unit pricing for continuing adult
education, say, $150 a unit. It
would better reflect the real costs
of a luxury while bringing in
badly needed revenue for one of
Californias most important educa-
tional systems.
Letters to the editor
S
ince June, when Warren
Slocum received nearly 40
percent of the vote for
District Four supervisor, there
have been some changes in the
campaign. Slocum did not receive
a majority in the six-candidate
race and is facing off against
Shelly Masur, who received the
second highest number votes at
just more than 20 percent.
Both Slocum and Masur are
high-quality candidates with top-
notch ideas on how best to con-
tribute the five-member Board of
Supervisors. Before June, we rec-
ommended Slocum in this race
because of his reputation as chief
elections officer and assessor-
county clerk-recorder in San
Mateo County since 1986 before
he retired in 2010. In that posi-
tion, Slocum was well-known for
his interest in technology, innova-
tion, democracy and civic engage-
ment. Slocum has differentiated
himself as a technologically savvy
proponent of updated voting sys-
tems, all-mail ballots and an over-
all push for voter participation.
We were also impressed by
Masur, who has a nice balance of
experience, interest in collabora-
tion and an engaging and spirited
demeanor. That still holds true,
but we maintain our endorsement
of Slocum.
Since June, the county Board of
Supervisors has placed three
measures on the November ballot.
There are two charter changes,
one is to make the controller an
appointed position, the other is to
change the way the county elects
its supervisors from countywide
to district elections. Both Slocum
and Masur are in favor of the shift
to an appointed controller and
going to district elections. The
other measure is a half-cent sales
tax for the county with a laundry
list of possible uses including
money for seismic upgrades at
Seton Medical Center in Daly
City. Both are in favor of the tax
increase and want to ensure the
money is spent with a specific
purpose and for maximum benefit.
Slocum takes it a step further in
promoting the idea of investing in
items that will have a specific
return like he invested in tech-
nology as an elected official.
Make no mistake, both are high-
ly qualified to serve in this seat.
Both are smart, listen well and are
willing to spend the time to get to
know the issues of both the dis-
trict and the county. The choice
comes down to who has the right
kind of experience. Masur has cut
her teeth as a member of the
Redwood City Elementary School
District Board of Trustees since
2005 and knows the impact of
federal and state mandates on a
governmental entity. Slocum has
25 years in public office and
understands the nature of county
governance. Key though, is
Slocums emphasis on innovation
in government and inside edge on
knowing what would immediately
make an impact. As chief elec-
tions officer and assessor-county
clerk-recorder, Slocums record of
forward-thinking, tinkering with
details until it was perfect com-
bined with his ability to take
proper action was unparalled. This
county was lucky to have him lead
that department for so long. And
now, the county has an opportuni-
ty to return him to another office
in a government structure that is
embarking on a county manager-
led reorganization that could
reshape the way it does business
for years to come. The idea of
Slocum lending his vision to such
a venture is an exciting one.
Proposed 7-Eleven
Editor,
I am writing to the San Mateo
Daily Journal to express my utter
dismay and vehement opposition
to the imminent installation of a
7- Eleven convenience store at the
corner of San Mateo Drive and
Bellevue Avenue (7-Eleven
approval met with scrutiny in the
Sept. 19 edition of the Daily
Journal). I have lived in this
neighborhood for 10 years, and I
have witnessed the steady
increase of graffiti, litter and dere-
licts in the area. For the city of
San Mateo to consent to the con-
struction of a business that will
serve as a tremendous multiplier
of these destructive elements is
absolutely unconscionable. This
neighborhood is already strug-
gling with blight and ever-
encroaching crime.
Alexis Ercoli
San Mateo
No to 7-Eleven
Editor,
Thank you Bill Silverfarb for
your article in the Wednesday
Daily Journal regarding the pro-
posed 7-Eleven on North San
Mateo Drive. Thank you too Vice
Mayor David Lim for asking that
this proposal be reviewed in more
detail.
We want to express our major
concern with the proposed 7-
Eleven on North San Mateo
Drive. We were shocked to read in
the paper that this was even being
considered in that area of our city.
Terrible idea to put a 7-Eleven in
our San Mateo neighborhoods.
Please do not allow this to go for-
ward. This is a completely inap-
propriate business for that area of
our city.
In Baltimore, from where we
just returned, you will find a 7-
Eleven and a Dunkin Donuts on
every other corner of that citys
downtown. The city of Baltimore
is one of the most crime-ridden,
unhealthy cities in our nation. We
do not need a 7-Eleven in our San
Mateo neighborhoods. The 7-
Eleven will not improve the quali-
ty of life in our city (including the
health and well-being of our resi-
dents, most especially our chil-
dren how many healthy
options have you found in a 7-
Eleven. Ironically, that is an area
that is not just residential, but
occupied by many medical prac-
tices and not far from the hospital.
We should have a healthy busi-
ness in that spot, serving healthy
food and options to our residents).
In addition, the 7-Eleven is not
attractive to look at, and com-
pletely out of place with the area.
Please say no to the 7-Eleven
on North San Mateo Drive.

The final
stretch opinion
Editor,
Perhaps Dwight L. Schwab Jr.
should reconsider his statement
Barack Obama created the worst
economy since the Great
Depression and alone is responsi-
ble for the mess the county is in
in his guest perspective The final
stretch in the Sept. 18 edition of
the Daily Journal. Its just such an
asinine statement. I hope that
other readers used his information
as additional resource material to
support another term for President
Obama.

Anti-Mitt trickle down?
Editor,
As many have known for a
while, the true nature of
Republican hopeless Mitt Romney
has now been exposed for all to
see if they want to. He is on
record declaring that he doesnt
care about 47 percent of voters,
which includes the sick, handi-
capped, elderly, students, military,
veterans or those not making
enough to pay federal income tax,
as well as the jobless, including
those fired from the companies he
and Bain Capital destroyed or out-
sourced. Ironically, the 47 percent
would also include some wealthy
people without income subject to
federal taxes, some of which may
be among his gullible contribu-
tors. Now that Romneys blunders
have been so frequent, so
unstatesmanlike and so dangerous
for world peace and international
relations, even some of his former
top Republican supporters are
abandoning him in embarrass-
ment. I wonder if that is a trend
that will trickle down?

NEW YORK A batch of worrying
economic gures tugged stock markets
slightly lower Thursday. Measures of
manufacturing and business activity in
both China and Europe slumped.
In the U.S., the railroad Norfolk
Southern warned that its shipping fewer
goods, and the government gave
investors another reminder that the job
market remains weak.
The Standard & Poors 500 index fell
0.79 of a point to close at 1,460.26. The
Nasdaq composite index dropped 6.66
points to 3,175.96. Three stocks fell for
every two that rose on the New York
Stock Exchange.
Stock-market indexes reached four-
year highs last week after the Federal
Reserve unveiled a new plan to support
the economy. Clark Yingst, chief market
analyst at the securities firm Joseph
Gunnar, said economic reports continue
to draw a picture of an economic recov-
ery stuck in low gear. To Yingst, its hard
to nd any reason for stocks to climb
much higher.
You do have to wonder what the next
catalyst is going to be, he said.
The Labor Department reported that
382,000 people applied for unemploy-
ment benets last week, more than econ-
omists had expected. When applications
consistently top 375,000, it suggests hir-
ing is too weak to lower the unemploy-
ment rate.
More evidence of sluggishness came
from Norfolk Southern. The railroad
said late Thursday that falling coal prices
and a drop in shipments will likely drag
down quarterly earnings. That followed

SAN FRANCISCO Oracle joined a
recent procession of technology compa-
nies that have stumbled in a shaky econ-
omy, but managements forecast for the
next few months seemed to persuade
investors the business software maker
will quickly regain its stride.
The quarterly results announced
Thursday provided the latest indication
that companies and government agen-
cies are clamping down on technology
spending until they get a better sense of
where the economy is heading.
The decision-makers in technology
departments have been especially reluc-
tant to invest in new personal computers
and other expensive hardware. That
trend has caused leading PC manufactur-
ers such as Hewlett-Packard. Co. and
Dell Inc., and a range of microprocessor
makers to report disappointing numbers
and bleak outlooks.
Oracles specialty, though, is database
software and applications that automate
administrative tasks products that so
far are still generating higher sales even
in uncertain times. That helped Oracle
boost its revenue from new software and
online subscriptions by 5 percent from
the same time last year, an encouraging
sign because those licenses hatch more
moneymaking opportunities in the form
of future upgrades and maintenance
fees.
In a particularly heartening sign,
Oracle predicted its sales of software
licenses and subscriptions in the current
quarter will climb by 5 percent to 15 per-
cent from the same time last year.
Oracles 1Q earnings rise 11 percent
GOOD NEWS, BAD NEWS:
Oracles scal rst-quarter results included
heartening and troubling signs. The business
software makers earnings climbed 11 percent
from the same time last year to $2 billion to
match analyst estimates. But revenue dipped
by 2 percent, a shortfall that Wall Street didnt
anticipate.
THE TREND:
The performance announced Thursday
provided the latest indication that companies
and government agencies are becoming more
reluctant to spend in an uncertain economy.
REASSURING SIGN:
Oracle Corp. eased investor concerns with a
forecast calling for revenue to increase slightly
in the current quarter ending in November.

WASHINGTON A jump in the
stock market and rising home prices are
bringing Americans closer to regaining
the wealth they lost in the recession.
U.S. household net worth dipped in
the April-June quarter, according to a
Federal Reserve report released
Thursday. But gains in stock and home
equity since the last quarter ended have
likely raised total household wealth to
within 5 percent of its peak before the
Great Recession.
Millions of Americans still feeling the
effects of the housing bust, or who dont
own any stocks, havent beneted as
much.
Still, the increased overall wealth
could give many people and busi-
nesses the confidence to step up
spending and boost U.S. economic
growth and job creation. Thats a key
goal of the bond-buying plan the
Federal Reserve unveiled last week.
The Fed hopes to drive interest rates
down and stock prices up.
Household net worth reects the value
of assets like homes, bank accounts and
stocks minus debts like mortgages and
credit cards. It peaked before the reces-
sion at $67.4 trillion.
Tumbling home and stock prices dur-
ing the recession cost Americans nearly
a quarter of their wealth. From a pre-
recession peak of $67.4 trillion in the
fall of 2007, household wealth plummet-
ed to $51.2 trillion in early 2009. But as
of the April-June quarter, its climbed
back to $62.7 trillion.
Higher stock prices help Americans regain wealth

NEW YORK Reality returned to
the oil market this week.
Oil has fallen 7 percent since last
Friday, when the price briefly topped
$100 for the first time in 4 months. The
sharp drop was expected and overdue,
many analysts say.
Traders had driven oil prices up by 30
percent since late June in anticipation
of new measures from the worlds cen-
tral banks to boost economic growth.
This week they woke up to some cold
hard facts: theres no easy fix for the
global economy, demand for oil is
slowing and theres plenty of supply.
It was hope versus reality, said
Judith Dwarkin, chief energy economist
at ITG Investment Research. It was
inevitable.
On Thursday benchmark U.S. crude
steadied, slipping just 11 cents to finish
at $91.87 per barrel. But its more than
$7 below where it closed last week. For
drivers, that should mean lower gaso-
line prices, although the decline will be
tempered by recent shortages in some
regions.
Oil is sliding because demand is
growing slower than expected.
Thats because economies around
the world are struggling, including the
three biggest oil consuming regions:
the U.S., China and Europe. When
economic growth falters, demand for
gasoline, diesel and jet fuel falls as
people travel less and ship fewer
goods.
In recent years world oil demand has
grown about 1.3 percent per year on
average. This year and next, though,
demand will likely grow closer to 0.8
percent, Dwarkin says.

Only three weeks into the prep sea-
son and youd be hard pressed to nd
a team that has lived a roller coaster of
football quite like the Burlingame
Panthers.
Both Burlingame losses have come
by a combined seven points and
theyre games that, if you ask any
Panther, they should have won.
So far, heartbreak defines
Burlingame in 2012.
And come Friday, rest assured they
arent treating Capuchino High
School like a Peninsula Athletic
League Lake Division team. They bet-
ter not because the Mustangs
Justin Ewing has been known to break
a heart or two in 2012 already.
Our team knows this is a measur-
ing stick, said Capuchino head coach
Adam Hyndman. Being a coach, all I
want to see is my guys compete. We
know who were going against ...
(Burlingame) knows what it takes to
be in the game. Theyre a well-
coached team and I think our kids
have the condence in themselves
that, as long as theyre in their spots
and do their job, were going to have a
good football game come Friday
afternoon.
The Peninsula Athletic League
cross-divisional clash between
Capuchino and Burlingame is the
Daily Journal Game of the Week.
Kick-off is schedule for 3:15 at the
home of the Mustangs.
Burlingame knows they can play
football and play it well. Before suf-
fering a 3-point loss to Mountain
View last week, they completely
demolished Wooside by almost 40
points. But in that loss to Mountain
View, the Spartans scored a 2-point
conversion on a botched snap,
received the benet of a bad snap and
two points on another poor snap from

South City (1-2) at
Menlo-Atherton (1-2), 3:15 p.m.
The Warriors were stunned in a
17-2 loss to Half Moon Bay last
week. The Bears were buried by St.
Ignatius 31-7. South City has no
one to blame but itself for the loss to
Half Moon Bay last week. The
Warriors turned the ball over six
times four in the rst half
one of which was returned for a
touchdown. The Warriors also had a
punt blocked for a score as well.
The good news for South City is it
rushed for 173 yards, led by
Anthony Shkuratovs 98 yards on
23 carries. The Warriors defense
did its part, limiting Half Moon Bay
to just 90 yards of total offense.
M-A managed 247 yards of offense
against St. Ignatius, but the Bears
have had a hard time getting in a
rhythm. In three games, they have
punted a total of 15 times. After
opening the season with 26 points
against El Camino, the Bears have
scored a total of 13 points the last
two weeks. Tasi Teu led M-A on
both sides of the ball. He accounted
for 67 yards of offense and made
ve tackles on defense.
Salinas (1-1) at
Terra Nova (1-2), 7 p.m.
The Cowboys were bucked by
Homestead, 37-34. The Tigers
tamed Pioneer 17-7 a week ago.
If nothing else, Salinas has proven it
can score. In the Cowboys two
games this season, theyve com-
bined to score 93 points.
Unfortunately, they havent stopped
anyone. The Salinas defense has
given up 71. Last year, Salinas
went 7-5 overall and nished third
in the now-defunct Tri-County
Athletic League. The Cowboys lost
49-14 to Menlo-Atherton in the rst
round of the Central Coast Section
playoffs in 2011. Terra Nova
gained 336 yards of total offense
last week, just under its average of
roughly 400 yards per game.
Tanner Piccolotti had a big day on
the ground, rushing for 150 yards
and a touchdown on 20 carries. He
also caught a pair of passes.

There are times during a water polo match when
a team can do no wrong on offense.
The Sequoia boys water polo team had such a
period of time in Thursdays 19-8 win over Terra
Nova High School Thursday afternoon. With the
score 4-3 in their favor, the Cherokees enjoyed a
stretch of polo during the second quarter when
everything they touched turned into scoring gold.
Already short-handed, the eight goals in roughly
four minutes sunk the Tigers.
I told them to focus, said Sequoia head coach
Francisco Andaluz. Because they had opportuni-
ties and didnt score. I told them they needed to
score every time they were in front of the goalie.
They did it in the second quarter and we were OK.
Its not what they did so well, its what we did-
nt do, said Terra Nova head coach Bruce
Crosseld. Im missing three starters. I dont have
a very deep bench so thats basically in a nutshell
what happened. So hopefully when we play then
again, itll be a different story.
The Tigers kept the score close in the rst quar-
ter. Devin Johnson tied the score at 1-1 before
Tristan Knoth warmed up and scored two of the
next three goals to put the Cherokees up 4-1.
A great cut to the net gave Terra Nova their sec-
ond goal thanks to Joel Crosseld and, with 5:39
left in the second quarter, Aaron Sturtecant made it
4-3.
But from then on, Sequoia completely dominat-
ed.
The Cherokees scored a goal on their next eight
possessions, the majority of which were clear 1-
versus-goalie situations set up by their counter-
attack. The undermanned Tigers simply had no
response for Sequoias team speed.
We work a lot on the counter attack, Andaluz
said. I think our strong suit is swimming back and
forth.
The bulk of the Sequoia offense came from
Matthew Brotherton, who was unstoppable scoring
four of the next ve goals. Knoth sandwiched
another score in between Brothertons streak.
George Archbold and Eric Bittner assisted one
another for the next two goals. Brotherton nished
the eight-goal barrage with a pretty oater that
made it 12-4 in favor of the Cherokees.
The game for all intents and purposes was over
by halftime.
The rst game we were a little slow, Andaluz
said of Sequoias start to the Peninsula Athletic
League season. But, now I think we picked it up
very good. This is the kind of team Im expecting.
Thats why I told these guys to focus.

SAN FRANCISCO Switch-hitter Pablo
Sandoval homered from both sides of the plate and
the NL West-leading San Francisco Giants
reduced their magic number to clinch the division
to four by beating the Colorado Rockies 9-2 on
Thursday.
Buster Posey also connected for the Giants to
back another strong start by Barry Zito (13-8) as
San Francisco completed a four-game sweep.
Zito won his fth straight decision and has done
everything to earn himself a spot in the postseason
rotation after being left off all three rounds for the
2010 World Series champions.
The second-place Dodgers were set for a night
game at Washington, trailing by 9 1/2 games. San
Francisco (87-63) moved a season-best 24 games
above .500, its best since nishing the 2003 season
39 games over.
Colorado has lost six in a row.
Sandoval connected from both sides for the rst
time in his career. Batting right-handed, he hit the
rst pitch he saw from Jorge De La Rosa (0-1) into
the left-eld stands for a solo homer in the rst
inning.
Sandoval hit a three-run drive into the elevated
right-eld arcade in the fourth. It marked his fth
career multihomer game. His last came Sept. 18,
2011, also against the Rockies at Coors Field.
Posey making an MVP bid and drawing
chants of M-V-P! followed Sandoval's
fourth-inning shot with his 23rd home run. The
Giants homered in consecutive at-bats for the sec-
ond time this season after departed Nate
Schierholtz and Brandon Crawford did so April 11
at Colorado.
Marco Scutaros fourth-inning single gave him
a career-best 175 hits and extended his hitting
streak to 10 games. He added an RBI single in the
sixth and has hit safely in 42 of 51 games since
joining the Giants from the
Rockies on July 27.
Zito received more than
enough support in the latest
impressive start during his
comeback year. The Giants
won for the ninth straight
time in one of his outings
and Zitos 13 victories are his
most with the Giants and
most since a 16-win season
in 2006 for Oakland.
The left-hander, who had been disappointing
since receiving a $126 million, seven-year contract
ahead of the 2007 season, walked off the mound to
yet another standing ovation in the sixth. He raised
his right hand and pointed to the sellout crowd of
41,157 in appreciation.
Zito struck out six and walked one in 5 2-3
innings, allowing two runs and a season-high 10
hits. He hasnt lost since Aug. 2 against the Mets.
It was a short day for De La Rosa but that
might have been expected as he came off the 60-
day disabled list. The left-hander returned to the
mound for the rst time since May 24, 2011, when
he left an outing with elbow soreness and later
underwent Tommy John surgery.
De La Rosa was tagged for ve earned runs, six
in all, and seven hits in 3 2-3 innings. De La Rosa
and Jonathan Herrera each had RBI singles for
Colorado.
Rockies slugger Carlos Gonzalez didnt return
to the outeld in the bottom of the second after
grounding into an inning-ending double play in
the rst.
He played the entire game Wednesday with
two strikeouts and two groundouts but was a
late scratch Tuesday night with a tight left ham-
string. He re-aggravated the leg injury during the
game, the team said.

DETROIT The Oakland Athletics avoided
a three-game sweep, yet still came out on the
losing end.
Seth Smith homered, doubled and drove in
four runs, and the Athletics beat the Detroit
Tigers 12-4 in a matchup of AL playoff con-
tenders. But the wild-card co-leaders also
learned they would be minus starter Brett
Anderson for the remainder of the regular sea-
son.
An MRI revealed Anderson sustained a Grade
2 strain of his right oblique muscle on
Wednesday night, when the left-hander awk-
wardly fell off the mound and exited after two-
plus innings.
Anderson was 4-2 with a 2.57 ERA after six
games while coming off Tommy John surgery.
The As revealed the extent of his latest injury
after their victory.
Hes a guy thats got ace-type of stuff. It hurts
to lose a starting pitcher,Athletics manager Bob
Melvin said. But weve lost a lot of starters in
the last month and a half, three.
Melvin said he doesnt know about
Andersons availability for the postseason.
The team also is without Brandon McCarthy,
who was hit in the head by a line drive, and
Bartolo Colon, who was suspended for using a
performance-enhancing drug.
Both clubs are in second place in their divi-
sions, and Oakland is even with Baltimore for
the wild-card spot.
The Tigers fell 2? games behind the Central-
leading Chicago White Sox, who played later at
Kansas City.
Outscored 18-4 in the rst two games,
Oakland held down Miguel Cabrera to win the
nale. Cabrera singled in four at-bats, and tops
the AL in batting at .333.
Josh Donaldson hit a go-ahead single in a
four-run sixth inning that made it 6-3, then had
an RBI double to cap a six-run ninth that includ-
ed Smiths three-run double.
Were not the type of team to score a run
here, a run there, two runs here. Were more of a
big-inning team, more often than not, Smith
said.
Pat Neshek (2-1) retired the only batter he
faced and got the win.
Anibal Sanchez (3-6), who held Cleveland hit-
less for 6 2-3 innings in his last start, gave up six
runs on six hits and two walks in 5 2-3 innings.
Smith hit his 14th homer, a solo shot in the
fth that made it 2-all. The Tigers retook the lead
in the bottom half when Cabrera singled and
scored on Prince Fielders double.
The As went ahead for good in the sixth.
Brandon Moss hit a tying double with one out
and after Chris Carter struck out and Smith was
walked intentionally, Donaldson singled.
Phil Coke relieved and George Kottaras hit a
liner that center elder Austin Jackson mis-
judged, the ball sailing over his head for a two-
run triple.
It kind of knuckled. I was right there. It just
took a left turn on me, Jackson said.
Kottaras felt fortunate.
I knew I hit it good. I saw him coming in. I
thought, Oh no, hes going to catch it,
Kottaras said. Then when I saw it go over his
glove. I was like Great! But then I thought,
Ive got to keep running.
Andy Dirks led off the Detroit sixth with a
home run off Jerry Blevins.
Yoenis Cespedes hit a bases-loaded sacrice
y to start Oaklands scoring in the ninth.

LUBBOCK, Texas Texas Tech men's
basketball coach Billy Gillispie has resigned
due to health concerns, the school said
Thursday, ending a bizarre and disappointing
one-year run at the program he took over with
designs on building a West Texas powerhouse.
The school and fans had hoped the 52-year-
old Gillispie could orchestrate another
remarkable turnaround like the ones he put
together at UTEP and Texas A&M. Instead,
after being out of coaching for two years, he
led the Red Raiders to an 8-23 record last sea-
son that included just one Big 12 victory.
Billy has decided to focus on his health,
and we wish him a full recovery, athletic
director Kirby Hocutt said in a news release.
We are proud of the young men that he has
brought to this campus. Billys decision
allows him to concentrate on his well-being
and allows us to turn our attention to prepara-
tions for the upcoming season.
Gillispie didnt immediately return a call or
text from the Associated Press seeking com-
ment
The move comes less than a month after the
school announced it was looking into allega-
tions of player mistreatment last fall by the
veteran coach a sensitive topic at Texas
Tech, given the 2009 ring of football coach
Mike Leach after claims that he mistreated a
player suffering from a concussion.
In January, the school reprimanded Gillispie
and assistant coach Brooks Jennings after a
review found the team had exceeded practice-
time limits in 2011. The school reported the
secondary violation to the NCAA and penal-
ized itself by reducing the teams practice
time by about 12 hours.
While all that was ltering out, Gillispies
health was apparently growing worse.

SANTA CLARA Dashon
Goldson slips on his blue-collar
shirt that every San Francisco 49ers
player is issued before talking on
camera. He refuses to recognize any
competition among his secondary
teammates for interceptions or hard
hits, too, deecting everything back
to the unit and what it has accom-
plished as a whole.
While Goldson might be the most
outstanding piece so far this season,
the sum of all the parts has sure
matched up well again.
San Franciscos stout secondary
already has limited NFL MVP
Aaron Rodgers and 5,000-yard
passer Matthew Stafford along with
top receivers Greg Jennings and
Calvin Johnson in wins over Green
Bay and Detroit. With second-year
quarterback Christian Ponder and
the Minnesota
Vikings (1-1) up
this Sunday,
Goldson and the
rest of the 49ers
(2-0) secondary
is looking to
build on the suc-
cess.
Its not really
a competition
thing, Goldson
said Thursday. Its more guys want
to get it done. Its being in position
and putting themselves in position
and seeing what they can pick up
from the lm in order to get their
hands on the ball. Its not really
guys competing with one another,
its seeing if stuff can break down
and competing that way. Everybody
is playing within the scheme, and
they know it will come their way.
Since Jim Harbaugh and defen-
sive coordinator Vic Fangio took
over last year, the ball has come San
Franciscos way often.
The 49ers tied the Packers in take-
aways (38) and nished second only
to the Pittsburgh Steelers (14.2) in
points allowed per game (14.3) en
route to the NFC championship
game loss to the New York Giants
last season. Goldson and linebacker
NaVorro Bowman each have one
interception so far this year, pacing
a defense that has quickly become
one of the NFLs best.
San Franciscos linebacker legion
and defensive line deservedly get
most of the credit, stopping the run
so well that opponents are often
forced to throw early and often. So
it can be easy to overlook the sec-
ondarys success, particularly with
the formations the 49ers have imple-
mented more this season.
Like I tell the players, corners
have to answer the bell on the deep
ball each and every game, Fangio
said. They go to the ground, every-
body just thinks its an incomplete
pass. ... Its the corners job to do
that.
The safeties have been strong on
the back end, too.
Goldson, who wanted a long-term
contract last offseason and instead
had the franchise tag placed on him
and settled for the one-year, $6.2
million tender, has almost acted as a
third linebacker when San Francisco
switches to its nickel coverage. The
formation was run often against
Green Bay, even taking All-Pro line-
backer Patrick Willis off the eld at
times to add an extra defensive
back.
Playing some 10-15 yards off the
line of scrimmage and moving up to
make tackles is something Goldson
is just as proud of as creating
turnovers.
We still have to be sound on the
run game with that extra player and
stop the pass, Goldson said. Its a
compliment when were able to
bring another DB on the football
eld and get it done.
The passing game is still where
San Francisco has made its mark
most.
The 49ers held Johnson out of the
end zone for the second straight sea-
son in last weeks 27-19 win over
Detroit. While Megatron had eight
catches for 94 yards, there were no
big plays, and most of his yards
came well after the game had
become a rout in the fourth quarter.
You want to be aggressive at the
line of scrimmage, said cornerback
Tarell Brown, who split the majority
of the time with Carlos Rogers cov-
ering Johnson again. My biggest
thing is, when a ball is in the air,
were both going to go for the ball.
He might have the height advantage,

ALAMEDA Greg Knapp knew
what questions were coming.
As offensive coordinator for a team
that has struggled to run the ball and
score points in two straight losses to
open the season, Knapp was prepared
for the criticism.
He has one main response: patience.
Knapp said Thursday it will take
more than two games to get the
Raiders (0-2) up to speed with the tim-
ing of the passing game and intricacies
of the zone running game.
Lets keep things in perspective for
a second here, Knapp said. Weve
played two games in the regular sea-
son on offense. Weve had two differ-
ent centers and a right tackle who
played half a game last week. We need
some patience. You cant develop a
scheme in two weeks in a regular sea-
son.
They certainly havent so far as the
Raiders have been held to 27 points in
losses to San Diego and Miami and
now have a stout Pittsburgh Steelers
defense coming to town on Sunday
that has been the stingiest in the NFL
against the run the past decade.
That doesnt seem like the perfect
recipe to get a running game going
that has gained just 68 yards on 34 car-
ries the rst two weeks. Darren
McFadden is averaging just 2.1 yards
per carry with his longest run of the
season going for just 8 yards.It will
take a little while. It will take a little
while, Knapp said. I dont know
what the set time is. A lot of it will be
changed week to week based on who
were playing. Its making progress,
its making progress. It may not look
up statistically but in the execution on
cut blocks, combination blocks, were
seeing progress being made.

managed 130 yards through the air and 56
yards rushing on 10 carries. This will be
Terra Novas third game at home out of four
contests so far this season.
Aragon (2-0) at Carlmont (1-1), 7 p.m.
The Dons dominated Lincoln-SJ 45-21 last
week. The Scots are coming off a bye, having
lost 28-6 to Gunn two weeks ago. Aragon
beat Lincoln for the fourth straight year.
The last time Aragon was at Carlmont in
2010, the Dons were handed a stunning 20-6
loss, their rst loss to Carlmont in 21 years.
Aragon bounced back to beat Carlmont 34-13.
The Dons are averaging 42.5 points per
game through two games. The defense has
allowed 21 points in back-to-back games.
After a promising 33-0 win over Kings
Academy in its opener, Carlmont has had
plenty time to think following the loss to
Gunn.
Harker (2-1) at Mills (1-1-1), 2 p.m. Satur-
day
The Eagles were clipped by San Jose last
week, 11-8. The Vikings pillaged Santa Cruz,
33-13. Harker is led by quarterback
Spenser Quash, who is averaging 224 yards
passing per game. Hes thrown seven touch-
downs against just one interception this sea-
son. Quash threw for 303 yards last week,
but the Eagles were held to negative-19 yards
rushing. The Eagles defense has been pret-
ty stingy so far this year, having allowed a
total of 24 points.

Menlo School (2-0) at
Half Moon Bay (1-2), 7 p.m.
The Knights had a bye last week. They lord-
ed over Mission-SF two weeks ago, 56-24.
The Cougars clawed their way to a 17-2 win
over South City. Known primarily as a
passing team, Menlo has been a surprise rush-
ing the ball this season, averaging over 200
yards rushing per game. In a 66-14 win over
Santa Cruz in the season opener, the Knights
rushed for 221 yards. Two weeks ago against
Mission, they went for 209. The Knights are
averaging over seven yards per rushing
attempt. Travis Chambers paced the
ground attack against Mission, gaining 112
yards on just 11 carries. Apparently senior
quarterback Matt Bradley is not going to con-
cede the spot to last years surprise, junior
Jack Heneghan. Against Mission, Bradley
threw for 170 yards and three touchdowns.
If nothing else, the Half Moon Bay offense
knows how to nish a game. Despite being
held to just ve rst downs in the win against
South City, one came on the Cougars nal
series of the game. That allowed the Cougars
to take an extra minute or so off the clock late
in the fourth quarter. After giving up an
average of 347 yards of offense in their rst
two games, the Cougars held South City to
248 without giving up a touchdown.
Lowell (0-2) at Jefferson (1-2), 7 p.m.
The Cardinals were grounded by Tennyson-
Hayward last week, 29-14. The Indians rallied
for a 16-15 win over Balboa-SF. Lowell,
once the class of the San Francisco public
school league, has struggled recently. Last
year, the Cardinals were 5-5. The last time
Lowell started the season 0-2 was 2010, when
it lost its rst eight games of the season. In
two games, Lowell has scored a total of 22
points. The good news for Jefferson is it
doubled its touchdown production from the
rst two weeks. The bad news is, it wasnt
hard to do. Jefferson scored a total of six
points in its rst two games.
Alameda (1-2) at Hillsdale (0-3), 7 p.m.
The Hornets were hammered last week by
Miramonte-Lafayette, 45-7. The Knights
were knocked off by San Lorenzo Valley, 59-
8. Its been feast or famine for Alameda
this year. In their Week 1 win, the Hornets
scored 49. Over the last two weeks, theyve
allowed 52 and 45, and have scored only one
touchdown. Alameda is averaging less than
200 yards of offense per game. Hillsdale
has steadily gone backward offensively. The
Knights scored 20 in a season-opening loss,
10 points two weeks ago and just eight points
last week. The last time Hillsdale started
the season 0-3 was 2006. The Knights also
went 0-3 in 2007, but only after a win over
Jefferson in Week 3 was turned into a forfeit
loss.
Kings Academy (0-3) at Sacred Heart Prep
(3-0), 1 p.m. Saturday
The Knights fell to Santa Clara 34-0 last
week. The Gators chewed up Los Altos, 70-0.
Kings Academy is still looking for its rst
points of the season. The Knights have been
outscored 80-0 in 2012. In their losses to
Carlmont and Santa Clara, the Knights
amassed 253 yards of total offense not per
game, combined. SHP set a school scoring
record last week with the 70 points scored.
SHP rushed for 476 yards. The Gators
defense has allowed only nine points over
three games. The Gators own a 4-2-1
record against the Knights in the last seven
years.
The Rest
DAILY JOURNAL SPORTS FILE
Half Moon Bay gained only 90 yards of
offense last week, 23 of which came on this
Daniel Welch catch.
the Panther punt team and recovered their
own fumble when Burlingame had stopped
them on a critical third down only to advance
it 40 yards. Plus, a week after losing Chris
Graham to a season-ending injury, head coach
John Philipopoulos reported on his blog that
the Panthers lost another key player in that
defeat.
But in their lone win, it was Burlingames
ability to focus and string together four quar-
ters of play that earned them the victory. And
while there is no reason to beat a dead horse,
come Friday, the message to his players will
be the same.
Its something that we need to learn to get
better, Philipopoulos said. We need to learn
how to nish football games. We need to get
rst downs on offense when we have the
opportunity to. We need to get stops on
defense when our backs are against the wall.
Those are things we need to get better at.
Were clearly in a position to win these
games. We just need to learn how to play for
four quarters. This Friday is going to be a big
test and its an opportunity for us take a step in
that direction and start to be a better football
team.
Capuchino, on the other hand, is a team
walking with a lot of condence right now.
And the majority of the credit falls on Ewing
and an offensive line that takes a lot of pride in
opening holes for the superstar running back.
We have to be disciplined within our
scheme, Philipopoulos said when asked
about Ewing. We have to tackle, we have to
pursue and I think if we execute the gameplan
that we set forth I think well have a ghting
chance. Hes denitely a dynamic running
back. Hes big. Hes strong. Hes powerful.
Hes a workhorse. Its denitely going to be
big challenge.
Last week in a win against Gunn, Ewing
broke the Bay Area record for most rushing
yards in a game with 494. He scored three
touchdowns in a 35-28 win. The Burlingame
defense is a tougher test than Gunn, however,
Ewing and his line have proven that they can
run on just about anybody. In three games,
Ewing has 875 yards rushing at an average of
seven yards a carry.
But Hyndman is quick to point out that key-
ing in on Ewing might not be the best idea.
We have condence in all our players,
Hyndman said. Were going to put together a
gameplan that we feel will work against
Burlingames defense. I think the kids will be
prepared and theyre looking forward to it.
The key for Capuchino will be their defense.
Theyre 1-2 this year despite big games on
offense because theyre surrendering 34 points
a game.
Its going to come down to defense,
Hyndman said. We need to tighten it down.
They run a lot of pre-snap movement which,
they want our defense to guess and we cant
go out there guessing on defense. We have to
do our job and stay disciplined. If we do that,
I think we match up well against them.

hurt by injuries on the offensive line
with center Stefen Wisniewski missing
almost the entire preseason and the
opener with a calf injury and right tack-
le Khalif Barnes leaving last weeks
game with a groin injury.
They have also played two teams
that were strong against the run in San
Diego and Miami. That helped con-
tribute to turning the Raiders from a
team that wants to have a run-rst
offense into one that has thrown the
ball at a higher rate on rst down than
any team in the NFL through two
games.
The Raiders have run the ball on
less than a quarter of their rst-down
plays, which is by far the lowest rate
in the league and less than half the
league average.
The lack of a running game on rst
down has led to long yardage situations
on third down and is a big reason why
the Raiders (0-2) have struggled to get
much going so far offensively this sea-
son.
Weve got to play the game the way
the game dictates and we had some
play-action shots that had a chance last
week and so, but yeah, we have to get
in more manageable third down situa-
tions, coach Dennis Allen said.
Oakland has been the worst team on
third down this season, converting just
22.2 percent of its opportunities. Part of
the problem has been too many third-
and-long situations with the team going
just 2 for 16 when needing at least 7
yards.
The Raiders have only been slightly
better in more manageable situations,
going 4 for 11 when needing 6 or fewer
yards, but havent gotten nearly enough
opportunities on third-and-short.
We cant do that to ourselves, quar-
terback Carson Palmer said. Thats
absolutely our fault, not doing enough
on rst and second down, when we
have our opportunities. We did a good
job on rst and second down with some
big, explosive plays. But getting 4, 5
yards here and there to make it third-
and-2 to 3, because youre not going to
convert half of your third downs when
youre third-and-long every time. We
know that, weve talked about it, weve
addressed it and were going to contin-
ue to work at it.
Fixing rst down will go a long way
toward solving third down for Oakland.

Mercedes-Benz SL550: High-tech and fast
By Ann M. Job
The 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL550 roadster is faster, more
fuel efcient, bigger and yet signicantly lighter than its pred-
ecessor and aggressively styled on the outside to evoke SLs of
the 1950s.
But the high-tech and luxury features of this new, sixth-gen-
eration SL could bring buyers to showrooms, too.
After all, who wouldnt want to impress a friend or neighbor
with a 0-to-60 sprint that takes just 4.5 seconds? And how
about the active side seat bolsters that automatically hug pas-
sengers more tightly as the car takes turns?
The faster acceleration comes from a 429-horsepower, twin-
turbo, direct-injection, gasoline V-8 that replaced last years
382-horsepower, naturally aspirated V-8.
The active seat bolsters arent dependent on speed. They
instantly inate and press forcefully and unnervingly for a
rst-time passenger to keep a person in place any time the
steering wheel is moved appreciably.
Best of all, the SL550 has improved fuel mileage. The U.S.
government gives the 2013 model a city rating of 16 miles per
gallon, with highway travel rated at 24 mpg. The test SL was
spot on with the governments combined city/highway rating
of 19 mpg, affording a range of 375 miles.
Note the 2013 mileage is up from the 2012 SL550s 14/22-
mpg rating and is better than the 15/22-mpg rating for Jaguars
two-seat XKR convertible.
Starting manufacturers suggested retail price, including
destination charge, for a base, rear-wheel drive, 2013 SL550 is
$106,405, an increase of $1,890 from the 2012 price.
Standard on every 2013 SL are seven-speed automatic trans-
mission with paddle shifters for shift-it-yourself mode; a fuel-
saving, engine stop/start system; seats trimmed with leather
thats specially treated to reect the suns heat and, over time,
reduce sun damage; a retractable, hard sunroof thats a heat-
reecting panel; dual-zone, automatic climate control; bi-
xenon headlamps that swivel in turns and curves to illuminate
the road ahead, and 12-way, power-adjustable and heated
seats.
A long list of safety features go beyond the usual air bags
there are eight in the SL and antilock brakes.
For example, the SL550s brakes include automatic drying
that activates whenever windshield wipers are turned on. This
feature keeps brakes ready for maximum work when roads are
wet.
There also are high-beam headlights that use a camera to
automatically adjust the range of the lights depending on the
proximity of other cars.
Competitors to the SL include the rear-wheel drive, 2012
Jaguar XKR convertible with 510-horsepower, supercharged
V-8, automatic transmission and soft roof, which starts at
$104,375.
Meanwhile, the rear-wheel drive, 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera
S Cabriolet with 400-horsepower, horizontally opposed, six-
cylinder engine, seven-speed manual transmission and soft-top
roof has a starting MSRP, including destination charge, of
$108,950. And a new Porsche 911 Carrera S has a retail start-
ing price of $113,030.
The new SL550 exterior styling is busy, for sure. There seem

to be lines and swirls in the body everywhere,
save for the rear end which, in contrast, seems
a bit plain.
The stand-up grille in front especially
evokes the early SLs.
One thing thats not obvious: Most of the
SL550 body shell is made of aluminum for the
rst time. Steel is primarily found inside the
window pillars. The lighter aluminum
accounts for the loss of some 240 pounds
from the previous SL. Indeed, the 2013 base
car weighs in at less than 4,000 pounds.
The car looks good with hard top on and off.
Mercedes boasts the complicated, power-
operated maneuvering of the roof and rear
window takes just 16 seconds. A driver only
has to touch a button.
Roof storage reduces trunk room from 10.2
cubic feet to 7.2 cubic feet.
The SL550s newfound power can be addic-
tive. It came on so smoothly and strongly in
the test car that the driver typically was going
20 mph faster than expected.
The new engine a 4.6-liter, double over-
head cam, direct-injection V-8 has twin tur-
bos providing 13.1 pounds per square inch of
boost.
Torque, that oomph feeling of being pro-
pelled forward forcefully, is plentiful in this
car and comes on quickly. Peak torque is a
hearty 516 foot-pounds starting at a low 1,800
rpm and continues to 3,500 rpm.
Even though Mercedes installed a start/stop
system in the new SL that turns off the engine
automatically to save fuel at stops, the test car
got under way as soon as pressure on the
brake pedal lightened, and it beat everyone
away from stoplights. The start/stop worked
seamlessly in the tester and was nothing like
start/stop systems in earlier, lesser vehicles
where the engine almost seemed to stall as it
got going again.
Engine sounds were deep and condent, but
steering, while direct, required a bit too light
an effort at times.
It was weird not having Park on the
gearshifter. Instead, a driver must push a but-
ton at the base of the gearshift lever to put the
car in Park.
Controls in the SL550 take some getting
used to, though buttons are decently sized.
In the tester, seat leather was luxurious to
the touch, carpeting was thick, and t and n-
ish was excellent.
Extras can be costly. The test car came with
nearly $18,000 of options, including seats
with the active bolsters plus a massage fea-
ture, a roof panel that changes transparency
and adjustable body control suspension. Even
the rearview camera was optional.

Looking at the possible savings, Trustee
Andrew Stulbarg calculated meeting such cuts
could result in 12 furlough days. His suspi-
cions were correct. The state, Hungerford
said, allows up to 20 furlough days.
This is going to be about us working with
our teachers. And, this is going to need the
support of our teachers; not just our teachers
but all of our unions, Stulbarg said since the
items suggested would need to be negotiated.
Informing everyone will be part of the dis-
tricts plan to address issues.
Its clear to me that we could do nothing
and hope. But if we do that, we could be walk-
ing off a cliff, said board President Brian
Matthews.
The board directed staff to work with the
community and staff to discuss nances and
possible solutions for addressing the issues.
Hungerford said the cuts should be in con-
junction with raising revenue.
When making a budget for a coming school
year, a district must project for three years. In
April, Hungerford said her budget for the
2013-14 year will need to go through 2015-
16. Currently, the projected decit spending
annually will be $2.4 million to $5.4 million
this year through 2015-16. The numbers will
be influenced by so many factors
Novembers election, number of students and
property taxes.
Class sizes have already increased from 20
to 25 students in the kindergarten through
third grade classes and from 28.5 to 29.5 in
middle school grades.
A variety of issues have added to the dis-
tricts situation, said Hungerford. Growth has
been one of the districts biggest issues. It has
seen 1,000 additional students enroll since
2007, a cost of about $3.2 million. Because of
how the district is funded through property
tax rather than the number of children attend-
ing school the district doesnt receive any
additional money to cover the new students.
Currently, the district spends about 25 percent
of its general fund budget to special educa-
tion, which is mandated to be covered, she
said.
Despite the increase in students, there has
been a decline in property taxes in the last two
years, Hungerford said.
The situation could become worse if Gov.
Jerry Browns Proposition 30 doesnt pass.
The measure which calls for a mix of increas-
ing sales and personal income tax has been
tied to funding education. If it passes, schools
will not see an increase in funding but have
been promised to keep $457 per student.
Without it, all districts throughout the state are
expected to experience millions in losses.
The projected decit spending takes a steep
hike in the 2015-16 school year when both of
the districts parcel taxes sunset. Measure G is
a $96 annual tax that brings in about $1.2 mil-
lion yearly. Measure U, a $78 annual tax,
brings in about $950,000 per year.
One plan will be to extend the taxes and
possibly increase them. To do so successfully,
Hungerford said the district will be working to
educate the public on the current nancial
challenges.
Parents and the larger community have also
played a large part in helping with extra costs.
The Parent Teacher Associations, for example,
raise about $500,000 annually for basic site-
level needs. District wide, School Force has
raised $7 million over ve years to support
larger needs like specialists.

TORONTO Joaquin Phoenix
looked as though hed lost it, com-
ing completely unglued with his
lm Im Still Here, in which he
chronicles his supposed move into
rap music after announcing his
retirement from acting.
Sure, it was all a put-on: his
retirement, the rap career and the
way he degenerates through the
lm. Yet letting himself hurtle out of
control was part of the plan,
Phoenix said.
Phoenix had grown a bit bored
with filmmaking and how he
approached it, the scripted roles and
the predictability of the storytelling.
Im Still Here was his way of
working without a net.
I wanted to do something that
was terrifying and felt like there
wasnt any blueprint and I didnt
really know what was going to hap-
pen, Phoenix, 37, said in an inter-
view at the Toronto International
Film Festival, where his drama
The Master played ahead of its
theatrical release.
I need to know that theres some
kind of, like, crazy magic that hap-
pens. And maybe its not. Maybe
thats just from my end, and a really
smart director knows that you do
these certain things and you get a
reaction from an audience. But I
dont like that, and I had to kind of
feel that there was something mys-
terious and something out of my
control that occurs for it to feel like
it was exciting to me again.

Affleck came up with a plan.

South Korean rapper PSYs Gangnam Style has sharp social riff
By Foster Klug
SEOUL, South Korea South Korean
rapper PSYs Gangnam Style video has
220 million YouTube views and counting,
and its easy to see why. No Korean language
skills are needed to enjoy the chubby, mas-
sively entertaining performers crazy horse-
riding dance, the songs addictive chorus and
the videos exquisitely odd series of misad-
ventures.
Beneath the antic, funny surface of his
world-conquering song, however, is a
sharp social commentary about the
countrys newly rich and Gangnam,
the afuent district where many of
them live. Gangnam is only a
small slice of Seoul, but it
inspires a complicated mixture
of desire, envy and bitter-
ness.
Heres a look at the
meaning of Gangnam
Style and at the man
and neighborhood behind
the sensation:
THE PLACE:
Gangnam is the most
coveted address in Korea,
but less than two genera-
tions ago it was little more
than some forlorn homes
surrounded by at farmland
and drainage ditches.
The district of Gangnam,
which literally means south of
the river, is about half the size of
Manhattan. About 1 percent of
Seouls population lives there, but
many of its residents are very rich.
The average Gangnam apartment
costs about $716,000, a sum that
would take an average South Korean
household 18 years to earn.

DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
THE WILLIAM S. PALEY COLLEC-
TION: A TASTE FOR MODERNISM, AT
THE DE YOUNG MUSEUM. Broadcast
Pioneer William Paley built Columbia
Broadcasting System (CBS) from a small
radio network into one of the foremost radio
and television network operations in the
United States. He also built one of the 20th
centurys great private collections of art,
selections from which are now on display at
San Franciscos de Young Museum. The
pieces comprising The William S. Paley
Collection: A Taste for Modernism include
works of Czanne, Paul Gauguin, Pablo
Picasso, and Henri Matisse, with signicant
works by Edgar Degas, Henri de Toulouse-
Lautrec, Pierre Bonnard, Georges Roualt, and
Andre Derain. On display are Gauguins The
Seed of the Areoi (1892) from the artists rst
visit to Tahiti, Degas large-scale pastel and
charcoal Two Dancers (1905), Picassos cele-
brated monumental painting, Boy Leading a
Horse (1905-1906), Derains vibrant Fauve
painting Bridge over the Riou (1906), and
Matisses Odalisque with a Tambourine
(1925-26). A series of large color photographs
show some of the paintings as they were
showcased in Paleys sumptuous 20 apart-
ment on Fifth Avenue in New York City,
where he lived with his wife, American
socialite and style icon Babe Paley.
Paleys generous gifts of art helped aug-
ment both his public image and his stature as
a signicant philanthropist. Commenting on
Paleys cultural legacy, Curator Timothy
Anglin Burgard, Curator of American Art,
Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, said,
Paley, a master of modern media, was keen-
ly aware of his public image, which he bur-
nished through his art patronage. So, it is
noteworthy that several paintings in his col-
lection by Andre Derain and Georges Roualt
depict actors who play a public role to perfec-
tion. Similarly, triptych portraits by Francis
Bacon that are reminiscent of sequential lm
or television screen images explore the multi-
ple sides of human nature. Ironically, as radio
and television networks increasingly are sup-
planted by new technologies, Paley may one
day be best remembered for acquiring time-
less masterworks of art such as Picassos Boy
Leading a Horse.
The William S. Paley Collection: A Taste
for Modernism was organized by The
Museum of Modern Art, New York, with
which Paley was afliated beginning in 1937.
Serving as trustee, chairman of the Painting
and Sculpture Committee, president of the
Museum and chairman of the Board, Paley
was chairman emeritus from 1985 until his
death in October 1990.
OH, AND DID YOU KNOW?: Wiliam
Paley enjoyed photographing Picasso in Cap
dAntibes and, like Picasso, Paley drove an
exotic French Facel Vega Facel II, the fastest
four-seater car in the world in the early 1960s.
***
In the 1986 television movie Murrow, Paley
is played by Dabney Coleman; in the 2005
lm Good Night, and Good Luck, he is played
by Frank Langella; and in the 2006 lm
Infamous, he is played by Lee Ritchey.

LOS ANGELES Get ready to notice
Rebel Wilson.
She may have already caught your eye
with her brief appearance in
Bridesmaids, playing the freeloading
roommate who reads Annies (Kristen
Wiig) diary after mistaking it for a
very sad, handwritten book.
The 28-year-old Australian
actress scene-stealing turn in
the 2011 hit certainly got
Hollywoods attention.
Basically, the week
Bridesmaids came out, I
booked up for the rest of
the year, Wilson said
during a recent interview.
Among the gigs:
Joining the A-list ensem-
ble in What to Expect
When Youre
Expecting, voicing a
hostile kangaroo in the
animated Ice Age: Continental Drift, work-
ing with Mark Wahlberg in Michael Bays
crime dramedy Pain and Gain and play-
ing a silky-voiced (if aerobically chal-
lenged) competitive singer in next
months musical comedy Pitch
Perfect. Shes also about to start
taping a TV pilot with Conan
OBrien, Super Fun Night, which
shes set to star in and produce.
Wilsons latest on-screen work is
in Bachelorette, in the-
aters Friday. Writer-
director Leslye
Headland cast the
comedienne as the
straight woman in
the dark comedy.
Wilson plays
Becky, a sweet,
beaming bride
the first of her
friends to marry.
Kirsten Dunst,
Isla Fisher and
Lizzy Caplan are
her troubled clique of friends whose hard-par-
tying antics threaten to ruin Beckys big day.
It was sort of crazy, because its like, really?
Youre going to cast Rebel Wilson as the
straight guy? Headland recalled. Becky is a
very difcult character to cast. You need really,
really adept and fearless actors. I met Rebel
and I saw her work and I was like, I have to
have her.
Pitch Perfect director Jason Moore agrees
with the fearless description.
Theres this beautiful openness to the way
Rebel approaches everything, he said.
In What to Expect, for example, the full-
figured actress trades outfits with petite
Elizabeth Banks and romps about unselfcon-
sciously.
Though Wilson is a fresh face for American
audiences, shes no stranger to performing. A
writer, actress and standup comic in her native
Australia, she began on stage and appeared in
more than a dozen TV shows before heading to
Hollywood to break into movies.
Bridesmaids was her rst stateside job.
I think I came to America at the right time,
she said. To have Bridesmaids be the rst
thing I was cast in and to have that be just such
a huge hit, even though I was just part of the
ensemble in that I have just been working
nonstop. Im a writer as well, so Ive got lots of
things in development and its crazy. Its just
been a nonstop whirlwind, and I cant wait for
people to see all these movies.
Meanwhile, she is embracing her growing
prole and her newly adopted culture.
Wilsons lm jobs have taken her around the
country: Bachelorette shot in New York,
What to Expect lmed in Atlanta and Pitch
Perfect was done in Louisiana.
Im getting a whole tour of America, which
I love, said the entertainer, whose given name
is Rebel. (She has siblings named Liberty, Ryot
and Annachi.)
Another love shes discovered is reality TV.
It just fascinates me, Wilson said. Here
Comes Honey Boo Boo is my new favorite,
and Dance Moms is my other favorite.
Sometimes I watch it and I imitate them and I
do their voices. Its just good for coming up
with characters ... The more I know about
America, the better Ill be at performing
American characters and American stories.

WEEKEND JOURNAL 21
By Christy Lemire
Viewers hoping for a juicy expose of the
super-secretive Church of Scientology in The
Master might want to adjust their expecta-
tions just a tad.
Writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson has
acknowledged that the cult leader of the lms
title played with great bluster and bravado
by Philip Seymour Hoffman, one of his long-
time players was inspired by Scientology
founder L. Ron Hubbard. And certain key
phrases and ideas that are tenets of the church
do show up in the lm. Theres the notion that
everything that shapes us is recorded from our
earliest days, even in the womb, and that peo-
ple can dig deep into their pasts into past
lives, even to purge negative experiences
and emotions and achieve a state of perfec-
tion.
The Master takes place in 1950 as
Hoffmans character, the charismatic
Lancaster Dodd, is releasing an important new
book outlining his bold philosophy; thats the
same year Hubbard published his worldwide
best-seller, Dianetics. And Amy Adams, as
Dodds true-believer wife, Peggy, makes this
quietly forceful proclamation toward the end:
This is something you do for a billion years
or not at all. Its a number that couldnt pos-
sibly be random, given the billion-year con-
tract the most devoted Scientologists sign.
And yet, the church or rather, The
Cause, as its known here emerges rela-
tively unscathed. Dodd, whom his followers
refer to as Master, is commanding and cal-
culating and sometimes even cruel, but the
bond he forges with a wayward Joaquin
Phoenix reveals his inquisitiveness, his gen-
erosity of spirit and a love that cant be
dened, teetering as it does between the pater-
nal and the homoerotic. Meanwhile,
Phoenixs character, the troubled, volatile and
often inebriated Freddie Quell, seems at his
happiest once hes safely ensconced within
the group. Hes still a scoundrel, as Dodd
affectionately labels him upon their rst meet-
ing, but at least hes functioning in a society.
But The Master isnt interested in any-
thing so clear-cut as joy vs. misery. Its about
the way peoples lives intersect, if only briey
and perhaps without a satisfying sense of clo-
sure. Anderson, long a master himself of tech-
nique and tone, has created a startling, stun-
ningly gorgeous lm shot in lushly vibrant
65mm, with powerful performances all
around and impeccable production design.
But its also his most ambitious lm yet
quite a feat following the sprawling
Magnolia and the operatic There Will Be
Blood in that its more impressionistic
and less adherent to a tidy three-act structure.
If you like answers, you will feel frustrated.
And yet, as fond of ambiguity as I usually am,
I still felt a bit emotionally detached after-
ward. Wowed, for sure, but not exactly moved.
Still, The Master does grab you from the
rst image: an overhead shot of a deeply blue-
green Pacic Ocean as it churns behind a ship,
punctuated by the unsettling score from
Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood (also
the composer on There Will Be Blood),
with its percussive knockings and staccato
strings. We are on edge from the start, and
Phoenixs presence magnies that sensation.
Hunched-over and mumbling, with an off-kil-
ter sense of humor and a screwed-up mouth,
Freddie is all impulse, and its usually of an
adolescent, sexual nature. In his rst lm
since the 2010 performance-art stunt of Im
Still Here, Phoenix once again digs deep to
mine his characters inner torment and comes
up with a mix of haunting quirks and tics.
Freddie wasnt entirely right before he left
Lynn, Mass., to ght in World War II, and
Navy combat has only traumatized him fur-
ther. After drifting from job to job includ-
ing a stint as a department-store photographer,
which Anderson and frequent Francis Ford
Coppola cinematographer Mihai Malaimare
Jr. depict in long, uid, bravura takes
Freddie finds himself wandering onto a
docked yacht thats the site of a lavish party.
Turns out, Dodd has borrowed the vessel for
his daughters wedding, and everyone on
board is sailing from San Francisco to New
York. (The shot of the yacht gliding beneath
the Golden Gate Bridge toward a vibrant set-
ting sun is a beauty, and Anderson knows it,
and he knows to hold it for a long time for
maximum effect).
Dodd takes an instant liking to his stow-
away and makes him his protege. Maybe hes
fascinated by this young mans animalistic
nature from a scientic perspective and wants
to tame him. Or maybe he recognizes a kin-
dred spirit; despite Dodds mantras about not
letting your emotions control you, he quickly
snaps when questioned or
crossed, and hes just as fond as
Freddie is of the drink.
This sets up one of the lms
most riveting scenes: Dodd
records Freddie answering a
series of questions (informal
processing, he calls it) which
begins with the mundane and
becomes increasingly probing.
The repetition, and the rapid-
re give-and-take that starts out
calmly and builds to a crescen-
do, has a mesmerizing musical-
ity and it reveals painful, personal truths.
As Freddie insinuates himself within the
highest echelons of The Cause and Dodds
own family, Peggy mistrusts him more and
more. Adams has the least-showy part among
the three leads but in some ways, she might
just give the most impressive performance of
all. Slowly, steadily, she reveals Peggy as the
true brains and muscle of the operation. Its
frightening, and it demonstrates yet another
facet of Adams great versatility.
Dodds Cause aims to provide a path for a
post-war America seeking direction, a sense
of comfort and community for those who have
guratively (and, in Freddies case, literally)
been at sea. Or at least thats the gruel hes
spoon-feeding the mixed-up masses.
Anderson, in typically daring fashion, has no
interest in assuaging anyone. And so although
hes given us a rare jewel box of a lm from a
visual standpoint, the open-endedness it
depicts ultimately resembles ordinary, every-
day life.
The Master, a Weinstein Co. release, is
rated R for sexual content, graphic nudity and
language. Running time: 137 minutes. Three
and a half stars out of four.

WEEKEND JOURNAL

The seats of business and government
power in Seoul have always been north of the
Han River, in the neighborhoods around the
royal palaces, and many old-money families
still live there.
Gangnam, however, is new money, the ben-
eciary of a development boom that began in
the 1970s.
As the price of high-rise apartments sky-
rocketed during a real estate investment fren-
zy in the early 2000s, landowners and specu-
lators became wealthy practically overnight.
The districts rich families got even richer.
The new wealth drew the trendiest bou-
tiques and clubs and a proliferation of plastic
surgery clinics, but it also provided access to
something considered vital in modern South
Korea: top-notch education in the form of
prestigious private tutoring and prep schools.
Gangnam households spend nearly four times
more on education than the national average.
The notion that Gangnam residents have
risen not by following the traditional South
Korean virtues of hard work and sacrice, but
simply by living on a coveted piece of geog-
raphy, irks many. The neighborhoods resi-
dents are seen by some as monopolizing the
countrys best education opportunities, the
best cultural offerings and the best infrastruc-
ture, while spending big on foreign luxury
goods to highlight their wealth.
Gangnam inspires both envy and distaste,
said Kim Zakka, a Seoul-based pop music
critic. Gangnam residents are South Koreas
upper class, but South Koreans consider them
self-interested, with no sense of noblesse
oblige.
In a sly, entertaining way, PSYs song push-
es these cultural buttons.
THE GUY:
More mainstream K-Pop performers,
already famous in South Korea and across
Asia, have tried and failed to crack the
American market.
So how did PSY aka Park Jae-sang a
stocky, 34-year-old rapper who was ned
nearly $4,500 for smoking marijuana after his
2001 debut, get to be the one teaching Britney
Spears how to do the horse-riding dance on
American TV?
Im not handsome, Im not tall, Im not
muscular, Im not skinny, PSY recently said
on the American Today TV show. But Im
sitting here.
He attributed his success to soul or atti-
tude.
PSY, whose stage name stems from the rst
three letters of the word psycho, has always
styled himself as a quirky outsider. But he is
from a wealthy family and was actually raised
and educated south of the Han River, near
Gangnam.
Hes an excellent dancer, a condent rapper
and hes funny, but another reason for his
breakthrough could be that less-than-polished
image, said Jae-Ha Kim, a Chicago Tribune
pop culture columnist and former music crit-
ic.
South Korean music has scored big in Asia
with bands featuring handsome, stylish,
makeup-wearing young men, including Super
Junior and Boyfriend. But seeing such singers
makes some Americans nervous, Kim said.
People in America are comfortable with
Asian guys who look like Jackie Chan and Jet
Li, who are good-looking, but theyre not the
equivalent of Brad Pitt or Keanu Reeves,
Kim said.
Part of the initial interest in Gangnam
Style, Kim said, was a kind of freak-show
mentality, where people are like, This guy is
funny. But then you look at his choreography
and you realize that you really have to know
how to dance to do what he does. Hes really
good.
THE SONG:
PSY, at times wearing sleeveless dress shirts
with painted-on untied bowties, repeatedly
flouts South Koreans popular notions of
Gangnam in his video.
Instead of cavorting in nightclubs, he par-
ties with retirees on a disco-lighted tour bus.
Instead of working out in a high-end health
club, he lounges in a sauna with two tattooed
gangsters. As he struts along with two beauti-
ful models, theyre pelted in the face with
massive amounts of wind-blown trash and
sticky confetti. The throne from which he
delivers his hip-hop swagger is a toilet.
The song explores South Koreans love-
hate relationship with Gangnam, said Baak
Eun-seok, a pop music critic. The rest of
South Korea sees Gangnam residents as
everything PSY isnt, he said: good-looking
because of plastic surgery, stylish because
they can splurge on luxury goods, slim thanks
to yoga and personal trainers.
PSY looks like a country bumpkin. Hes a
far cry from the so-called Gangnam Style,
Baak said. Hes parodying himself.
The video abounds with ironic, not upper-
class images that ordinary South Koreans
recognize, said Park Byoung-soo, a social
commentator who runs a popular visual art
blog. Old men play a Korean board game and
middle-age women wear wide-brimmed hats
to keep the sun off their faces as they walk
backward a popular way to exercise in
South Korea.
PSYs character in the video is modeled on
the clueless heroes of movies like The Naked
Gun and Dumb & Dumber, he told Yonhap
news agency earlier this year. He has also said
his goal is to dress classy, but dance cheesy.
Others see more than just a goofy outsider.
PSY does something in his video that few
other artists, Korean or otherwise, do: He par-
odies the wealthiest, most powerful neighbor-
hood in South Korea, writes Sukjong Hong,
creative nonction fellow at Open City, an
online magazine.

PSY
drama Two Lovers would be his farewell to
acting after a career that included such lms
as To Die For, Signs and Hotel Rwanda,
along with Academy Award-nominated per-
formances as a despotic Roman ruler in
Gladiator and as Johnny Cash in Walk the
Line.
With Affleck directing, they chronicled
Phoenixs transition to music in 2010s Im
Still Here, purportedly a documentary but
really an elaborate ction that seemed to show
the actor crumbling into an emotional melt-
down.
Part of the inspiration came from reality tel-
evision, particularly shows exposing intimate
and embarrassing details of celebrities lives,
Phoenix said.
The normally clean-cut Phoenix let his hair
go and grew a wild beehive of a beard. In Im
Still Here, he croaked bad rap music, smoked
weed endlessly and appeared to snort cocaine
off of a prostitutes breasts. The lm also
included his notorious interview with David
Letterman to promote Two Lovers, in which
Phoenix mumbled responses, stared at the talk
show host in uncomfortable silences and gen-
erally seemed off his rocker.
Phoenix came back on the show in 2010 and
apologized, telling Letterman it was all an act
for Im Still Here.
Casey and I unfortunately Casey more
than I have that horrible sense of humor
where we just love seeing people squirm, par-
ticularly ourselves, Phoenix said at Toronto.
It was just something where we were trying
to capture that moment of incredible discom-
fort where youre cringing for somebody
else.
Some people did cringe for Phoenix, won-
dering if he really had gone off the deep end.
Others in Hollywood assumed he was playing
a role, making a lm in a daring new way.
Among those was Paul Thomas Anderson,
whose own bold lms include Magnolia
and There Will Be Blood. Anderson had his
eye on Phoenix to co-star with Philip
Seymour Hoffman in The Master, a tale
with overtones of L. Ron Hubbard and
Scientology that centers on a boozy, brawling
World War II veteran who falls under the sway
of the dynamic leader of a spiritual move-
ment.
But Anderson refrained from contacting
Phoenix until Im Still Here was behind
him, not wanting to distract the actor from
convincing the world that he had gone crazy.
Anderson did not know for sure, but he said
he sensed Phoenix was just playing a role.
I was cheering from the sidelines, watch-
ing him sort of being out of his mind and
enjoying it, said Anderson, who thinks
Phoenix came out of Im Still Here a better
actor, able to dig deeper than ever. He found
a way to scare himself again and to care and
to get his hunger back. I got the benets of
that. I just thank my lucky stars that we came
together at the right time to go about doing
this thing that we did.
The Master has shot to the top of this sea-
sons Oscar list after earning Anderson the
directing prize at the Venice Film Festival,
where Phoenix and Hoffman also shared the
best-actor award.
Phoenix plays Freddie Quell, a Navy veter-
an drifting without a rudder until he falls in
with Lancaster Dodd (frequent Anderson col-
laborator Hoffman, an Oscar winner for
Capote). Dodd is founder of The Cause, a
cult whose adherents believe they can access
memories from past lives to help achieve bal-
ance and tranquility.
Much of Im Still Here was unscripted,
and Phoenix said the improvisation he had to
do in that lm was great preparation for cap-
turing the volatility of Freddie as he swings
back and forth from devotion to disdain for
Dodd.
Im Still Here really allowed me to be
more open as an actor, and going into this
lm, Paul seemed to not only allow but
encourage a real change in behavior from
moment to moment. It really suited the char-
acter, because hes so mercurial in a way, and
youre not really sure of his motivation,
Phoenix said. I dont really like controlled
performances, and so that I think was really
helpful for me.
Hes hurled himself back into acting, with
upcoming roles in Spike Jonzes as-yet-unti-
tled lm, which features The Master co-star
Amy Adams, and teaming with Two Lovers
director James Gray for their fourth movie
together.
So Phoenix is still here, with no plans to
retire.
The joke was that Casey and I after every
movie say, like, were quitting, and we realize
that we have no other skills and its something
that we love to do, Phoenix said. And its
absurd to think of retiring from something at
35 which doesnt really have a retirement age.
Its not like its basketball and your knees go.
We just felt that it was a built-in joke and
thought it was funny.

District, $1.85 million to the San Carlos
Elementary School District and $689,455
to the San Mateo County Community
College District. Attorneys are still hash-
ing out the ne points of the future pay-
ment agreement but the big details are
fairly set, said City Manager Jeff Maltbie.
As long as the pending matters are
resolved, the City Council will discuss the
proposal in its closed session Monday
night and approve it during the regular
meeting.
I think the school districts and the city
are happy to get this resolved. I dont
think any of us are comfortable being in a
lawsuit together. We do a lot of business
together, Maltbie said.
The settlement would end litigation that
began in 2009 when the districts sued the
RDA for allegedly not honoring payments
in a 1986 agreement. The RDAs used tax
revenue for improvements and to pay
other agencies in mutually benecial
agreements. The districts argued in the
suit they were due larger payments includ-
ing a fair share of the annual 2 percent
inationary increase in property tax
assessments. The city argued payments
were only due when requests were made,
beginning in 2009.
In December 2011, Superior Court
Judge Joseph Scott sided with the school
districts and ordered the RDA to pay $4.3
million to cover money due annually since
November 2006 plus interest. The RDA
appealed in January, quickly followed
days later by Sequoia Union High School
Districts claim of breach of contract.
Months of intense negotiations ensued
while meanwhile the state dismantled all
RDAs and San Carlos was named succes-
sor to its agency. The timing made the
lawsuit much more complicated and the
change in state law made the economic
value of the case different, Maltbie said.
With the city now the successor agency,
it stood to lose about a half-million dollars
from its general fund but, as part of the
agreement, the school districts will repay
that amount, Maltbie said.
Sequoia will pay $260,000, the college
district will pay $65,000 and the San
Carlos School District will pay $175,000.
As a result, Maltbie said the settlement
shouldnt have any additional impact on
the citys nances.
The city already absorbed a $1.1 mil-
lion hit in its June budget due to RDA
elimination.
But while the council appears ready to
put the litigation behind it, it is not yet a
done deal for the other entities involved
although theyre getting closer. Barbara
Christensen, director of community/gov-
ernment relations for the community col-
lege district, said it does not yet have an
agreement. James Lianides, superintend-
ent of the Sequoia Union High School
District, said they are still negotiating the
nal details of the settlement. Craig
Baker, superintendent of the San Carlos
School District, also said they were close.
The San Carlos City Council meets 7
p.m. Monday, Sept. 24 at City Hall, 600
Elm St., San Carlos.
LAWSUIT
In a closed door meeting Thursday
morning with tenants and potential resi-
dential developer Paul Powers of RWC
Harbor Communities, LLC, owner Paula
Uccelli told tenants on month-to-month
leases that, if the property sells, arrange-
ments can be made to let them stay
through the end of 2012, according to a
statement issued by her attorney Ted
Hannig.
Past that point, circumstances will be
considered individually, she said.
The developer has submitted an appli-
cation for a permit and tentative parcel
map for 411 residential units on a 10.6-
acre parcel along the Bayfront of Uccelli
Boulevard. The plan doesnt require zon-
ing changes and therefore no special
approvals because it does not propose
high-rise buildings or the lling in of the
Bay.
Tenants who declined to be named said
they were greatly saddened by yester-
day mornings meeting and called the 45-
to 60-day eviction time frame shocking
because winter is the worst time to sell a
boat.
Hannig said that, since June 2002, all
live-aboard leases included language
acknowledging the possibility of reloca-
tion. All leases the past 12 years have also
been month-to month because of the sale
potential.
The tenants conceded signing such
agreements but said most did so when
there were more live-aboard marinas and
slips were available elsewhere. One said
several have family or business ties to
Redwood City, including some who need
to be close to the Veterans Administration
hospital in Palo Alto.
Petes Harbor is one of the last remain-
ing places in the Bay Area with affordable
housing. Many of us simply cannot afford
to move onto land, one tenant wrote in an
email to the Daily Journal.
The marina has 211 slips of which a
small number are full-time live-aboard
tenants, according to Uccelli.
Uccelli said she plans to reside at
Peters Harbor if the residential develop-
ment happens.
Petes Harbor was the brainchild of
Paulas husband, Pete, who died in
September 2005. He opened the 21-acre
harbor in 1958 on former swamp land and
it is now considered a landmark.
In her prepared statement, Uccelli com-
pared the loss of her husband to the ten-
ants concerns.
I do know how difcult loss and
change can be; seven years ago I never
envisioned I would be running Petes
Harbor without Pete but I learned to
adjust, she said. The responsible thing
for me to do for the family is look to the
future.
MARINA
million a year over the next 30 years to
pay down the bond and its interest. The
city now owns the property and hopes to
one day sell the 24-acre site and adjacent
property for possible future development.
The citys annual budget is about $10 mil-
lion.
ICW issued four different liability
insurance policies to the city covering two
successive annual periods, from July 1,
1990 to June 30, 1991 and from July 1,
1991 to June 30, 1992, according to the
city.
Each policy year provided $5 million in
coverage. In the Joyce Yamagiwa litiga-
tion, extensive evidence was introduced
showing that a city project constructed in
the mid-1980s, coupled with the failure to
maintain drainage improvements, con-
tributed to the emergence of wetlands on
the Beachwood property over the period
of time covered by the ICW policies.
The evidence was a key factor in Justice
Panellis decision, holding that damages
awarded Yamagiwa were a covered loss
under the ICW-issued liability policies,
according to the city.
In 1993, Yamagiwa purchased the
Beachwood property on behalf of the
Keenan Land Company and proposed
development. At that time, the city issued
a development moratorium due to the lack
of available sewer capacity. When the
moratorium was lifted in 1998, the
Keenan Land Company proposed 85
homes on 28 acres east of the intersection
of Highway 1 and Grandview Boulevard.
Developers asked the city for a Coastal
Development Permit and the city balked,
maintaining that the denition of wetlands
had changed and prohibited the develop-
ment on the property.
In response, Yamagiwa led two law-
suits in 2000. One claimed the city mis-
represented the denition of wetlands.
Eventually, Yamagiwa and Keenan were
paid $18 million by the city to purchase
the Beachwood property.
The $10 million award is only for the
rst phase of the citys action against
ICW. Further proceedings on the bad faith
claims against ICW have not been sched-
uled. The interim award brings the total
amount recovered from insurance carriers
relating to the Yamagiwa case to $15 mil-
lion. In early 2008, the city settled a sepa-
rate claim against the Association of Bay
Area Government PLAN for a different
coverage period for the $5 million policy
limit.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2012
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Usually youre a pretty
good judge of character, yet for some reason you
could be a bit gullible and taken in by a person
pretending to be something that he or she isnt.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Its OK to focus more on
the big picture rather than on its details, but in order to
function effectively, you need to be cognizant of both.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Youd be wise not to
try to keep up with friends who are able to spend far
more than you can. If you fnd yourself along for the
ride you might use funds that would be better saved.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Its highly likely
that youll allow yourself to be infuenced by a pal
who has good salesmanship abilities but faulty
judgment. Youll regret it if you let this person call
the shots.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If you fnd yourself
having an inclination to dominate conversations,
remember, matters that may be signifcant to you are
not of equal importance to your friends.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Guard against the
urge to overindulge mentally, physically or fnancially.
If youre participating with friends in something fun,
dont cram all your high living into one experience.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Friends and close as-
sociates are aware of your recent accomplishments,
so you should stop tooting your horn. The noise you
produce will begin to sound sour.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Show enthusiasm and
be optimistic as possible, but also be realistic. Make
sure any rose-colored outlook is founded upon a truly
feasible premise.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If youre a softie,
your generous nature is likely to be imposed upon.
Someone who picks up on this will try to manipulate
you to his or her advantage.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your position with
another is not as strong as you might want to lead
yourself to believe. Take it slow and dont rely on the
other party more than is warranted.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Be realistic about any
problem that you have to deal with and know that it
wont automatically take care of itself. Dont sweep it
under the rug -- you might instead create a dust storm.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Why expose yourself to a
large crowd that could easily bore you when you could
be with a few good pals whom you always enjoy?
Youll be happier with fun, close friends right now.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
JOHN J. LEE
Case Number 122692
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: John J. Lee. A Petition
for Probate has been filed by John J.
Lee, Jr. in the Superior Court of Califor-
nia, County of San Mateo. The Petition
for Probate requests that John J. Lee, Jr.
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 au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection 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: September 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 ap-
pear at the hearing and state your objec-
tions or file written objections with the
court before the hearing. Your appear-
ance may be in person or by your attor-
ney. 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 provid-
ed in Probate Code section 9100. The
time for filing claims will not expire before
four months from the hearing date no-
ticed above. You may examine the file
kept by the court. If you are a person in-
terested in the estate, you may file with
the court a Request for Special Notice
(form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory
and appraisal of estate assets or of any
petition or account as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 1250. A Request for
Special Notice form is available from the
court clerk.

CAIRO Behind the anger over
a film mocking the Prophet
Muhammad, public protest is giving
way to measured debate over free
speech in the new Muslim world.
But while many crave more open-
ness, few if any will go so far as to
say that includes the right to blas-
pheme.
Angry shouts of No, no to
America! and No to Israel! have
been balanced by voices condemn-
ing the weeklong violence that has
targeted U.S. and other Western
embassies and left more than 30
dead in seven countries, including
Ambassador Chris Stevens and three
other Americans at the U.S.
Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
Muslims should know that
Islamic extremist groups bear some
responsibility for the uproar taking
place now, and for the collision of
the world cultures, said Sheik
Hameed Marouf, a Sunni cleric in
Baghdad.
The moderate people and clerics
in the Islamic world should do their
best to isolate and stop such groups
that do not represent the true moder-
ate values of our religion.
Religious extremists whether
Muslim, Jewish or Christian
will lead only to more killings and
more blasphemous acts, he said.
Anger is still palpable over the
anti-Islam video made in California,
as well as French political cartoons
that denigrate Muhammad, but most
of the Arab world has not seen
protests for much of this week.
The streets around the U.S.
Embassy in Cairo, where clashes
raged for days, were relatively quiet
Thursday. Egyptian security forces
patrolling the area casually leaned
their ries against the same com-
pound walls that were scaled by
angry protesters just last week.
The easing of the violence reects
the balance that Egypt and other
Islamic nations are trying to nd as
they work to nourish democracy in
societies where blasphemy is a
crime.
There is no doubt that most
Muslims take offense at anyone
mocking the prophet, said Mustafa
Alani, an analyst at the Geneva-
based Gulf Research Center. The
great divide is over the response.
The vast majority of Muslims under-
stand that the world is now intercon-
nected and all kinds of material
good or offensive pours in.
Islam vs tolerance debated in Prophet films wake
By Ken Thomas
MIAMI President Barack
Obama said Thursday that extrem-
ists used an anti-Islam video as an
excuse to assault U.S. interests
overseas, including an attack on
the U.S. Consulate in Libya that
killed the U.S. ambassador and
three other Americans.
The presidents comments came
as Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton faced questions
from members of the House and
Senate about the Sept. 11 attack on
the consulate in Benghazi in a
series of closed-door classified
briengs on Capitol Hill.
Republicans have accused the
Obama administration of misread-
ing the assault as the outgrowth of
widespread demonstrations in the
Middle East over the video. They
insisted it was a terrorist attack, a
term White House spokesman Jay
Carney used on Thursday. Obama
did not use the phrase.
What we do know is that the
natural protests that arose because
of the outrage over the video were
used as an excuse by extremists to
see if they can also directly harm
U.S. interests, the president said at
a candidate forum on the Spanish-
language network Univision.

UNITED NATIONS The four
Western powers trying to rein in
Irans nuclear program accused
Tehran on Thursday of shipping
arms to Syria in violation of U.N.
sanctions and ignoring demands to
open key nuclear facilities to U.N.
inspectors.
The United States, Britain,
France and Germany expressed
growing concern that Irans goal is
building a nuclear arsenal not
nuclear power plants for peaceful
civilian use, as Tehran insists.
U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice
told a Security Council meeting on
the implementation of U.N. sanc-
tions that members cant be com-
placent about Irans latest leaps
forward in its prohibited nuclear
activities.
We must recognize that we are
facing a situation that continues to
worsen, she said.
A spokesman for Irans mission
to the U.N. did not immediately
respond to an email seeking com-
ment.
Rice and ambassadors from the
other Western powers expressed
serious concern at Irans arms
exports to President Bashar Assads
regime in violation of a U.N. ban
against all weapons exports.
She reiterated the conclusion of
the panel of experts monitoring
implementation of sanctions that
Syria is now the central party to
illicit Iranian arms transfers.
Britains U.N. Ambassador Mark
Lyall Grant said Irans supply of
weaponry to Syria is unacceptable
and it must stop.
It is in stark contrast to the will
of the Syrian people and a reminder
of Irans hypocrisy in claiming to
support freedom in the Arab
world, he said.
