Ralph Cole is well known by hisneighbors. He was an active volunteer atthe local Boys and Girls Club, a frequentspeaker at San Mateo City Councilmeetings and always offers a friendlyhello while making his way through theShoreview neighborhood in which helives.

So when the 72-year-old paraplegicrecently took ill, it came as no surprisethat his community rallied behind him.

Janet and Tom Vaughan started a

GoFundMe campaign and within fivedays reached their goal of raising $3,000to help with their neighbor’s medicalexpenses.

While Cole and his wife insist they’reneither looking for nor are they in needof any charity, the longtime resident saidhe was honored to know he’s cared for.

“The idea that everybody ralliedaround me to give me a hand makes mefeel really good. To know that my neigh-bors and people around are willing toreciprocate and come out and help, it’sreally nice. To know that we have neigh-bors that are willing to step up and be

heard and help their fellow man, it’sgreat. Especially in the world we live intoday where everything is so hectic. Itmakes me feel really proud to be part of this society,” Cole said.

His most recent health condition — aninfection caused by gallstones he’s slat-ed to have removed later this month —required a costly ambulance ride after anurse told him he could die if he didn’thurry to the hospital after days of notbeing able to eat.

By Austin WalshDAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Continuing to ensure all San Mateo UnionHigh School District students are given anopportunity to succeed amidst an educationlandscape which is constantly evolving pres-ents myriad challenges, according to candi-dates running for the district Board of Trustees.

Two seats on the five-member board are upfor grabs, but incumbents Marc Friedman andStephen Rogers are running for re-election,while educator Greg Land is also seekingvoter support on the all-mail ballot dueElection Day, Tuesday, Nov. 3.

Achievement is on the rise at the district’sseven schools, and a few have gained nation-al recognition for their success, but still morework can be done to ensure the district isoffering a top-notch education to all students,said Friedman.

“I’m trying to get re-elected to move for-ward and build on the successes we’vealready achieved,” he said.

Rogers shared similar sentiments, and saidhe too would appreciate the opportunity tohelp further the achievements of district’s stu-dents and staff.

While serving on the board throughout theGreat Recession, Rogers cited his guidance inaiding the district to navigate the financialchallenges caused by the economic downturnas one of his greatest accomplishments.

Land, who works as a principal in the LosAltos School District and serves currently onthe Burlingame Elementary School DistrictBoard of Trustees, said he believes though thedistrict has enjoyed a recent stretch of suc-cess, there is more that can be done.

“I think they have done a good job, but Ithink they can do better,” he said, of the cur-rent board.

He said the district should focus on pushingits highest achieving students, as well as thosewho are struggling to succeed, in an attempt

to engage all its young learners.Part of the challenge officials face whenlooking to improve student achievement isnegotiating changes in education, broughtforth in part by the implementation of a newCommon Core curriculum, said Rogers.

The standards demand a new style of instruction, said Rogers, which requires offi-

cials to ensure theresources are available tooffer opportunities forprofessional develop-ment, so educators canuse the most currentteaching methods.

And as the district’seconomic position has

improved in recent years,the new learning stan-

dards have been implemented in a relativelyseamless fashion, he said.

“The process we have in place is the bestroad map to get us there,” Rogers said.

Friedman concurred, and said the district iswell served to have the resources at its dis-posal to offer teachers the training needed toeffectively instruct students under the newcurriculum.

Land, a former teacher and lifelong educa-tion professional, said the implementation of Common Core has forced both teachers andstudents to view learning through a fresh lens.

The focus on critical thinking, collabora-tion, communication and creativity has been anew perspective to consider for many, bothlocally and throughout the state, said Land.

“The challenge is the paradigm shift, and toreally look at things differently,” he said.

Student assessmentBut as the curriculum has changed, so have

the methods of effectively assessing studentlearning, as state legislators recently did awaywith the high school exit exam, which hadbeen used to gauge the ability of students tograsp essential learning requirements beforegraduating.

In the wake is left a vacuum, and educationofficials are without a standardized method of examining student learning.

But Land suggested the new SmarterBalanced tests, implemented this year, canbegin to serve as a baseline for assessment.

He also said he favored establishing an

environment which offered students increasedauthority in shaping their education.“I’d like to see us empowering students to

take initiative,” he said.Examining graduation rates are another

method of ensuring students are retainingtheir lessons, said Rogers, who said he feltsome sort of standardized test was necessary

to ensure basic standardsare being met.

Friedman noted the dis-trict enjoys graduationrates higher than much of the rest of the state, andsaid assessment throughtesting can be an effectivestrategy, but added he did

not support high-stakestesting similar to the exitexam.

Rather than focus on testing, the most effec-tive way the district can ensure it is offeringstudents a quality education is attracting andretaining top-notch teachers, which has longbeen a district focus, said Rogers.

Support for teachersDistrict teachers are offered a very compet-

itive salary compared to their counterpartsacross the state, said Rogers, which is indica-tive of the commitment by officials to ensurethe best talent is at the front of the classroom.

“This has been a clear focus for us,” he said.Land agreed teacher compensation should

be a primary concern of offi-

cials when trying to maintainthe high standard of teachingtalent in the district.

Friedman pointed to therecommendation bySuperintendent Kevin Skellyto build affordable housingfor teachers and district staff in San Bruno on the formercampus of Crestmoor HighSchool as an additional effortto make the district moreappealing for educators.

He said there likely isn’tenough money in the budgetto keep teacher salary com-petitive with the constant payhikes enjoyed in the technolo-gy and innovation sectors,

which are partially responsi-ble for pushing the cost of liv-ing locally higher.

So creative ideas such asthe proposed affordable hous-ing project, which will beaddressed during the boardmeeting Thursday, Oct. 8, are

necessary, Friedman said.“We have got to think

outside the box and comeup with things like that tohelp teachers to afford tolive in our community,”he said.

The board previouslyaddressed the affordable

housing proposalThursday, Sept. 24, but

was unable to move forward with takingaction due to concerns regarding whether therecommendation from Skelly was properlypublicized and communicated to the public.

CommunicationLand said the communication concern is

indicative of a larger issue the district hasstruggled with in the past.

“We could do a better job of communicat-ing,” he said.

The district has received pushback fromvarious communities on issues related to

of the things he did, and he passed away peacefully, which isa blessing.” Tributes rolled in for the man who passionatelyfought for the rights of minorities and women, and helped cre-ate an urban wildlife refuge at the southern end of the SanFrancisco Bay Area.

SACRAMENTO — The CaliforniaHigh-Speed Rail Authority has received35 responses from private companiesinterested in financing, building andoperating the first 300-mile segment of the controversial rail project. Officials

say the responses are a positive sign of private interest after lawmakers lastyear dedicated a long-term fundingsource.

Chief Executive Jeff Morales declinedto provide details Friday about what thecompanies told the agency or make pub-lic the responses, saying officials arestill reviewing them and plan to meetwith the companies over the next twomonths.

The authority provided a list of 35firms that replied, including London-based Barclays Bank, a group called theChinese High Speed Rail Delivery Teamand several large international construc-tion and engineering firms with officesin the United States, such as Bechtel

Infrastructure Corporation, SiemensIndustry Inc. and AECOM.

Laura Mason, business developmentmanager for Bechtel’s North Americapublic infrastructure division, said thecompany offered its expertise in public-private high-speed rail partnerships inthe United Kingdom and Korea.

“It will take new model of contracting

that hasn’t been seen before,” she said of the California project.Several other firms contacted Friday

did not immediately respond to requestsfor comment from the Associated Press.

Facing criticism from opponents forthe lack of private investors lining up tofinance the $68 billion project, the railauthority asked private firms to respondto a list of questions on how to reducecosts, speed up construction and attractmore private-sector investment for asegment from Merced to Burbank,which is scheduled to start operating in2022.

“Until now we have been saying‘There will be private sector interest.’Now the private sector is saying ‘There

will be private sector interest,”’ Moralessaid Friday.

He said the responses allow the railauthority to benefit from “the collectiveexperience of firms who’ve deliveredbig projects who can help us determinethe best path forward.”

The state Legislature agreed last yearto provide the first ongoing source of

financial support to the project: a quarterof all revenues from the state’s green-house gas emissions program in whichcompanies buy and sell pollution credits.That amounted to $250 million last yearand could eventually total $3 billion to$5 billion a year.

The authority will be holding an openhouse meeting at the BurlingameRecreation Center, 850 Burlingame Ave.4 p.m.-7 p.m. Oct. 7, with a formal pres-entation beginning at 6 p.m.

A variety of engineers, right-of-wayagents and planners will be available toanswer questions about the project sec-tion and its potential impacts to commu-nities along the Peninsula Corridor.

WASHINGTON — PresidentBarack Obama on Friday accusedWhite House hopefuls of concoct-ing “half-baked” ideas for solving

the crisis in Syria, appearing to evendismiss his former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s callfor a no-fly zone before later clari-fying his view of the Democraticfront-runner.

The idea of a no-fly zone — aregion of Syria that the UnitedStates would protect from bombingto create a safe corridor for refugees— has emerged as a favorite optionfor Democratic and Republican can-didates. It’s a plan that allows themto stake out a more aggressive mili-tary posture than Obama, whilestopping short of the kind of large-scale combat troop deployments theU.S. engaged in for years in Iraq andAfghanistan — and of which voters

have wearied.Obama, who opposes such a

move, said he’d like critics of hisSyria policies to be asked,“Specifically, precisely, what exact-

ly would you do?” He told a WhiteHouse news conference, “Typically,what you get is a bunch of mumbo

jumbo.”Pressed about whether his com-

ments were directed at Clinton,Obama said he didn’t think her

approach to international issues was“half-baked.” But he pointedlyadded, “There’s a differencebetween running for president andbeing president.”

“If and when she’s president, thenshe’ll make those judgments,” hesaid of Clinton. “And she’s beenthere enough that she knows thatthese are tough calls.”

The president’s comments cameamid escalating concerns about thecrisis in Syria, where a 4 1/2-yearcivil war has killed more than250,000 people and left the countrya breeding ground for terror groups,including the Islamic State. Russiabegan launching airstrikes this weekunder the auspices of defeating the

Islamic State, though Obama onFriday accused Moscow of beingmore interested in bolstering SyrianPresident Bashar Assad, a Kremlinally.

WASHINGTON — Jeb Bush’schallenge in the first half of the yearwas daunting yet simple. To be con-sidered a fundraising success, theRepublican presidential candidatehad to hit the magic number of

$100 million, an ambitious goal setby some in his campaign. And hedid.

As another fundraising periodends, what now constitutes success

for Bush isn’t as clear cut. Nolonger the front-runner in prefer-ence polls, Bush won’t repeat as thechampion at raising money in theGOP’s 2016 field, topped in thepast three months by retired sur-geon Ben Carson and perhaps byTexas Sen. Ted Cruz, too.

“They created such a high bar,”said Spencer Zwick, a topRepublican donor who was 2012GOP presidential nominee MittRomney’s finance chief. “Now

anything less than $100 million in aquarter seems small.”

But Bush’s financial team andstrategists argue that he should nowbe judged by a different benchmark.Their mantra: He’s built to last.Using phrases like “go the dis-tance,” “marathon” and “long

haul,” they argue that the formerFlorida governor is uniquely posi-tioned to outlast other candidates,regardless of the fundraising num-ber he posts for the third quarter.

ROSEBURG, Ore. — The 26-year-old gun-man who opened fire on fellow students in hiscommunity college English class, killing ninepeople, was an Army boot camp dropout whostudied mass shooters before becoming onehimself.

A day after the rampage in this Oregon tim-ber town, authorities said Christopher SeanHarper-Mercer wore a flak jacket and broughtat least six guns and five ammunition maga-zines to the school. Investigators found anotherseven guns at the apartment he shared with hismother.

Officials on Friday also released the names of the dead, who ranged in age from 18 to 67 andincluded several freshmen and a teacher. Theywere sons and daughters, spouses and parents.

One of the students was active in the FutureFarmers of America and loved to play soccer.Another was on only his fourth day of college.One was a 59-year-old student whose daughterwas enrolled in the same school but not injuredthe shooting. Grieving families began sharingdetails of their loved ones.

“We have been trying to figure out how to telleveryone how amazing Lucas was, but that

would take 18 years,” thefamily of Lucas Eibel, 18,said in a statement releasedthrough the DouglasCounty Sheriff’s Office.

Eibel, who was studyingchemistry, volunteered at awildlife center and animalshelter.

Quinn Glen Cooper’sfamily said their son had

just started college andloved dancing and voice

acting.“I don’t know how we are going to move for-

ward with our lives without Quinn,” theCoopers said. “Our lives are shattered beyondrepair.”

Seven other people were wounded in theattack in Roseburg, about 180 miles south of Portland.

Harper-Mercer, who died during a shootoutwith police, was armed with handguns and arifle, some of which were military grade. Theweapons had been purchased legally over thepast three years, some by him, others by rela-tives, said Celinez Nunez, assistant field agentfor the Seattle division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

Oregon gunman wasan Army dropout who

studied mass shooters


ROSEBURG, Ore. — When the gunshotsstarted at Umpqua Community College, somepeople mistook them for falling books. ButArmy veteran Chris Mintz quickly recognizedthe threat.

“He was in the military and knew what itwas,” said Mintz’s aunt, Wanda Mintz.

Her 30-year-old nephew, a student at thecollege, told classmates to remain calm andwent to the door as the shooter came acrossthe hallway. He tried to stop the gunman fromentering the classroom and was shot threetimes, his aunt said.

After Chris Mintz fell, he told the suspect:“It’s my son’s birthday today. Don’t do this,”’she said. The gunman then shot him at least

twice more and went intothe classroom, where hekept firing. Nine peoplewere killed before theshooter died in a shootoutwith police. Wanda Mintzsaid her nephew tried tocrawl away but could notmove because of hiswounds. He was recuper-ating Friday at a hospital

in Roseburg and was expected to survive.“He’s lucky to be alive, and we’re grateful

he’s alive,” his aunt told the Associated Presson Friday. In an interview with ABC News,the younger Mintz said: “I just hope thateveryone else is OK. I’m just worried abouteveryone else.”

Chaffetz to seek speakerspot against McCarthy

WASHINGTON — Republican Rep. JasonChaffetz of Utah plans to run for House speak-

er in a surprise longshotchallenge to HouseMajority Leader KevinMcCarthy, threeRepublican aides saidFriday, injecting new tur-moil into an unsettledHouse Republican confer-ence.

Chaffetz chairs theOversight andGovernment ReformCommittee and has led

high-profile hearings onthe Secret Service,Planned Parenthood andother issues. His candidacywould offer an outlet forRepublicans reluctant tocoronate McCarthy toreplace House SpeakerJohn Boehner, who

shocked Capitol Hill a week ago by announc-ing his resignation under conservative pres-sure.

Yet it’s not clear the hardliners who oustedBoehner and view McCarthy with suspicionwould flock to Chaffetz instead.

Some evacuees return tohomes looted in California wildfire

MIDDLETOWN — More than a dozenhomeowners who evacuated during a devas-tating California wildfire returned to findtheir homes had been burglarized, authoritiessaid.

At least six people were arrested on suspi-cion of looting or planning to loot homes afterthe wildfire that started Sept. 12, destroying1,300 homes and killing four people in LakeCounty.

A total of 14 homeowners reported burgla-ries, Lake County Sheriff’s Lt. Steve Brooks

told the Santa Rosa Press Democrat onThursday.

One burglar broke into a home and spray-painted a car in the garage to make it look likea police vehicle, so the thief could get awayeasier, Brooks said.

The wildfire north of San Francisco was 97percent contained after burning more than 118square miles and sending thousands of peoplefleeing homes.

Residents and businesses in the county havefiled more than 2,100 claims involving thefire, Madison Voss, a spokeswoman for theCalifornia Department of Insurance, told theAssociated Press.

Veteran who tried to stopgunman was shot five times

Kim Saltmarsh Dietz 59, loved the outdoors, her 18-year-olddaughter and her two Great Pyrenees dogs, said Robert Stryk,the owner of Pyrenees Vineyards in Myrtle Creek, where Dietzworked as a caretaker for many years.

Dietz was taking classes at the same college as her daughter,who was unhurt in the shooting, Stryk said.“That’s really the tragedy here,is that this is a woman who was

just trying to better herself,”he said.Dietz’s ex-husband, Eric, is the vineyard manager, and bothwere still close friends, Stryk said.Eric Dietz, who had posted updates on his Facebook pagewhile searching for news of his daughter and ex-wife, on Fri-day posted a picture of Kim and confirmation of her death“with deep grief in my heart.”Stryk said that the two had met in Southern California,but thatKim Dietz was originally from England.“She was a very energetic,very kind,kind soul,”he said.“Kim wasan exceptional woman.”

*** The father of 19-year-oldLucero Alcaraz fought back tearsand anger outside of his Roseburg home Friday.“There is no sense in talking about it.It’s in vain,”Ezequiel Al-caraz said in Spanish.“What’s the point in showing our pain?”Lucero’s sister, Maria Leticia Alcaraz, posted to Facebook thather sister was missing,then broke the news that she was dead.“Never in a million years would I have imagined going throughsomething like this.She was my best friend and my sister,”shewrote. “I can’t begin to describe how I feel. I’m full of anger,pain, sadness, regret that I didn’t get the chance to see her orprevent this from happening.”Maria Leticia Alcaraz wrote of being proud of her sister for get-

ting scholarships that would cover the entirety of her collegecosts,and for the fact that she was in college honors and wrotethat she “would have been a great pediatric nurse.”“You were going to do great things,”she wrote.

Big movers

By Matthew CraftTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — News of slower hiringlast month jolted markets early Friday,driving government bonds up and the dol-lar down. The stock market, after slump-

ing in early trading, finished the day witha solid gain.A jump in crude oil helped turn things

around, as Chevron, Exxon Mobil andother oil giants charged higher. But theswing was also a result of traders specu-lating that the weak jobs report will pre-vent the Federal Reserve from raising itsbenchmark interest rate anytime soon.The Fed has only two meetings left tomake a move this year: one later thismonth and another in December.

“It looks like October is clearly off thetable,” said Michael Arone, chief invest-ment strategist at State Street GlobalAdvisors. “I think it puts into questionDecember, too.”

The government reported that employ-ers added 142,000 workers last month,

much lower than the 200,000 anticipatedon Wall Street, and hired fewer people inJuly and August than previously thought.The unemployment rate stayed at 5.1 per-cent, but only because many Americanshave stopped looking for work and are nolonger counted as unemployed.

“There’s just no positive spin you canput on it,” said Russ Koesterich,

BlackRock’s global chief investmentstrategist. “Combined with other reports,it really raises questions about thestrength of the recovery.”

Major indexes fell hard at the openingof trading, with the Dow Jones industrialaverage losing as much as 258 points,

then reversed course and charged higherthroughout the afternoon.The Dow gained 200.36 points, or 1.2

percent, to close at 16,472.37.The Standard & Poor’s 500 index

surged 27.54 points, or 1.4 percent, to1,951.36. The Nasdaq composite rose80.69 points, or 1.7 percent, to4,707.78.

Sometimes, bad news looks like goodnews for investors. It’s been a confusingtheme ever since the Fed cut its bench-mark rate to near zero during the financialcrisis in 2008, helping to set off a stock-market rally.

In the upside-down logic of WallStreet, discouraging economic reportshave often been treated as encouragingbecause it meant the Fed would keep

lending rates at record lows. Low rateshelp drive money into stocks, partly bymaking the returns on bonds, CDs andother income-producing investmentsseem paltry by comparison.

In Europe, major indexes finishedslightly higher. Germany’s DAX rose0.5 percent, France’s CAC-40 rose 0.7percent, and Britain’s FTSE 100

added 0.9 percent.Markets in Asia drifted, with Japan’s

Nikkei 225 rising less than 0.1 percent.South Korea’s Kospi slipped 0.5 percent.Hong Kong’s Hang Seng rebounded aftera holiday, jumping 3.2 percent.Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 lost 1.2 per-

cent to 5,052.00. Markets on mainlandChina remain closed for holidays untilOct. 8.

Back in the U.S., Nordstrom’s stockclimbed after announcing that it will paya special dividend and spend up to $1 bil-lion buying its own shares. The depart-ment-store chain gained $3.69, or 5 per-cent, to $75.12.

U.S. government bond prices jumped,driving the yield on the 10-year down to1.98 percent, down from 2.04 percent lateThursday. It fell as low as 1.91 percent inmorning trading, its lowest level sinceApril. The euro rose to $1.1218.

In the commodity markets, preciousmetals finished with big gains. Gold

jumped $22.90, or 2 percent, to $1,136.60an ounce, and silver soared 75 cents, or 5

percent, to $15.26 an ounce. Copper rose2 cents, or 1 percent, to $2.33 a pound.

The price of oil bounced back from twodays of losses. U.S. crude gained 80 centsto close at $45.54 a barrel in New York.Brent Crude, a benchmark for interna-tional oils used by many U.S. refineries,rose 44 cents to close at $48.13 a barrel inLondon.

Stock market shakes off an early stumble

By Andrew TaylorTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — President BarackObama said Friday he won’t sign another tem-porary government funding bill after the cur-rent one expires Dec. 11, insisting that con-gressional Republicans and Democrats workout a long-term budget deal with the WhiteHouse.

Obama said such a deal should lift a freezeon the budgets of both the Pentagon anddomestic agencies. Speaking at a White Housenews conference, he said he “won’t signanother shortsighted spending bill” and assert-ed that the U.S. can’t cut its way to prosperity.

On the so-called debt limit, which needs to

be raised above the cur-rent $18.1 trillion cap byearly November, Obamasaid he won’t repeat a2011 negotiation over

companion spending cutsthat brought the nation tothe brink of a first-everdefault on its obligations.

“We’re not going backthere,” he said.

Neither position was new or surprising, butthe president’s statements came after CapitolHill was roiled by the resignation of HouseSpeaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. He decided toleave Congress after a revolt among tea partyforces who wanted him to use a temporary

spending bill to force Obama to take awayPlanned Parenthood’s federal funding. Thesame conservatives generally opposed liftingtight caps on spending set by the 2011 budgetdeal.

Talks on spending were just beginning andwere expected to focus on finding long-termcuts elsewhere in the budget to permit higherspending on the day-to-day operations of gov-ernment agencies. Agreement will be difficult,in large part because of a lack of politicallyeasy spending cuts and disagreement overhow to use any money from the cuts.

Four years ago Obama agreed to spendingcuts in exchange for getting a $2.1 trillion debtlimit increase through Congress. Since then hehas twice refused to negotiate over the debt-

ceiling issue and Congress has lifted the debtlimit both times with sweeping support fromDemocrats. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lewinformed Congress on Thursday that it needsto act by Nov. 5, earlier than most on Capitol

Hill had thought. The issue probably will needto be dealt with before Boehner leaves at theend of the October.

Obama said that Boehner’s resignation,which has sparked GOP infighting in a hand-ful of House leadership races, complicates thesituation. But Boehner says he would like toclean out Congress’ barn of as much unfin-ished business as possible and he may havemore leeway now that he doesn’t have toworry about tea party lawmakers demandinghis scalp.

SolarCity: Buffalo site to makeworld’s most efficient panel

ALBANY, N.Y. — SolarCity says therooftop panels it will make at a plant being

built in Buffalo have been rated the mostefficient in the world.

The San Mateo-based solar installersays Friday the new module produces 30to 40 percent more power than a same-size standard panel. The company alsosays it can make the panels at “signifi-cantly” lower cost than similar technolo-gies.

Above: Will Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers be putting on a Super Bowl preview when he faces the 49ers Sunday? Top: Raider’s coach Jack Del Rio and Chicago coach John Fox, below,should be very familiar with each other’s tendencies as the two coached together in Denver.

49ers face Packers; Raiders get BearsGreen Bay not overlooking San FranciscoBy Janie McCauley


SANTA CLARA — Sure, the Green BayPackers know exactly where the Super Bowlwill be play ed four months from now.

They will take the field at Levi’s Stadiumon Sunday against the San Francisco 49erswith high expectations of returning to theBay Area for a second time come February toplay for the Lombardi Trophy.

Not that coach Mike McCarthy is men-tioning anything of that nature. Nor does heneed to.

“That’s not really my style or myapproach,” McCarthy said. “We’re aware of where the Super Bowl is and the 50thanniversary and all tho se things. ”

The unbeaten Packers (3-0) are more con-cerned with keeping a good thing going and

making k ey strides on both si des of the ball— especially considering they have losttheir last four to the 49ers, including twoplayoff defeats.

Yet this is hardly the same San Franciscoteam. It has a drastically different defenseand a struggling offense that will be hard-pressed to turn things around from a 1-2start that includes givin g up 90 po ints th epast two weeks. Colin Kaepernick threw acareer-high four interception s in last week’s47-7 beating at Arizona.

Yet Aaron Rodgers realizes Kaepernickhas been at his best against Green Bay, andthe MVP quarterback certainly isn’t gettin gahead of himself even as others say he’splaying his best football yet.

“It’s early in the season, but we’re happywith the way it s tarted,” he s aid.

Old friends — Del Rio, Fox — are now foesBy Andrew Seligman


LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Jack Del Rio isready to match up with old friend and formerboss John Fox.

Oakland visits the Chicago Bears onSunday and instead of the usual collis ions of helmets and pads, the Raiders coach had anunusual idea.

“I wish it could be him and I wrestlin g onthe 50 (yard line),” Del Rio said, tongue incheek. “But that’s not going to come down.I think Foxy might still take me, he’s a pret-ty to ugh guy.”

Del Rio has a long hi story with Fox, hav-ing served as his defensive coordinator inCarolina in the early 2000s and again inDenver from 2012 to 2014. That included a3-1 stint as interim coach in 20 13 when Fox

had heart surgery.Now, here they are, ready to meet as the

Raiders (2-1) take on the winless Bears (0-3).

“You want to beat th e guys y ou kno w realbad,” Del Rio s aid. “That’s just how it i s.”

Fox praised Del Rio and said he was gladto see him get another opportunity as a headcoach after a nine-year run in Jacksonville.

“When I’ve looked on, Jack and his staff have done an outstanding job, really, in allthree phases,” he said.

The Raiders come in with back-to-backwins over Baltimore and Cleveland after aseason-opening loss to Cincinnati. TheBears are at what might b e their lowest poi ntin years.

They got shut out for the first time since2002 in a 26-0 loss at Seattle last week, and

What a pipeline of talent San Mateo isproving to be for Foothill College volley-ball.

Foothill-Los Altos Hills currently fea-tures a roster with four players from SanMateo High School — sophomore setterMorgan Ho, freshman outside hitterKimberly Marin, freshman outside hitter

Isabella Mauricio and sophomore middleblocker Camila Mauricio — as well as oneplayer from Hillsdale in sophomore liberoJami Maffei.

As fate would have it, the ex-Bearcatsclashed with their old coach in Friday’sCoast Conference opener, as former SanMateo head coach Chris Tign o too k over theCañada volleyball program this season.

The conference opener was quite t he to ughdraw for Cañada, as Foo thil l is currently t he

best team in Northern California. Enteringinto Friday’s matchup, the Owls won 12straight matches to start the season. It isthe best start in program history, accordingto Owls head coach Katy Rip p.

“We usually p lay a really tough p reseason… and we usually come out of it where we’reat .500,” Ripp said. “This year has beenexceptional.”

Ripp certainly knows Foothill’s volley-ball history through-and-through. In her

12th year at the helm of the Owls, she hasbeen with the program since its i nception.

Foothill has come a long way since going2-19 in its inaugural season of 2004. Theteam has made 10 all-time postseasonappearances, including back-to-back tripsto the Northern California finals. Last year,the Owls were one win away from advancingto th e state final four.

AUBURN, Ala. — The Auburn Tigers can’t afford to over-

look any opponent.Sure, it’s the standard coach speak spiel from any heavily

favored team but this time it rings esp ecially true.The struggling Tigers (2-2) face a San Jose State team

Saturday that they p resumably should be able to handle with abigger, faster, deeper Southeastern Conference-style roster.

An overtime scare against FCS Jacksonville State, fol-lowed by back-to-back SEC losses, should curb any tendencyto presume a victory over the Spartans (2-2). The Tigers are20-point favorites and won last season’s meeting 59-13, butthat Auburn team was ranked fifth.

This group is lo oking to fix glaring p roblems offensivelyand defensively heading into an open date. And to avoidabsorbing a loss that could give a disastrous turn to a disap-pointing season

“Our focus is on us getting better and us getting a victory,and that’s what we’re focused on,” Tigers coach Gus Malzahnsaid.

With t hat in mind, he’ll s tart quarterback Sean White for the

second straight game. White faces a defense that is holdingopposing quarterbacks to less than a 50 percent completionrate and is averaging six t ackles for loss per game.

San Jose State has started quarterbacks Joe Gray and KennyPotter two games each, with Gray listed as the starter for thisone. Auburn’s inconsi stent defense will face prolific tailb ackTyler Ervin, who already has 641 rushing yards and ninetouchdowns while catching 16 passes.

The Spartans do have the benefit, as coach Ron Caraghersaid, of having “been there, done that” at Jordan-HareStadium.

“It’s not as eye-opener of an experience because they havebeen there,” Caragher said.

Here are some potent ial sto ry lines for the game:

White’s encoreAuburn could open up the playbook more for White in his

second college game — or at least focus more on speeding upthe tempo as Malzahn favors. If the Tigers do manage a biglead, former starter Jeremy Johns on might get a chance to get

back on the field and rebuild his confidence.

Top runnerPummeled by LSU’s Leonard Fournette two weeks ago,

Auburn faces another running th reat in Ervin. He ran for 300yards on 42 carries last week against Fresno State. It’s thehighest total of the season for an FBS back. The 5-foot-10,177-pound Ervin is much less physically imposing thanFournette but has impressed the Tigers. “Coach is like, ‘Hecould be an SEC back,”’ Auburn defensive tackle MontraviusAdams s aid.

Borges returnsSan Jose State offensive coordinator Al Borges held the

same posit ion at Auburn, including the Tigers’ unbeaten sea-son in 2004 with quarterback Jason Campbell emerging as astar and NFL first-round pick. He worked under TommyTubervill e at Auburn from 2004-2007 .

SEC environmentGiven recent events, it’s not clear how full Jordan-Hare will

be, though it’s homecoming and Auburn has sold out everyhome game this season. Caragher, a former Kentucky assis-tant, has an idea of what to expect in an SEC stadium. “Therewasn’t a game that I went to th at wasn’t frenzied, spirit ed andfestive leading up to it,” said Caragher, who worked for theWildcats from 2003-2006. “It’s part of the culture, and Irespect that. There’s some very strong football enthusiastsdown t here.”

Auburn playmakersThe Tigers would love to get receiver Duke Williams going,

and maybe tailback Jovon Robinson or Roc Thomas, if they’re healthy. Freshman tailback Kerryon Johnson is alsoan emerging threat trying to build experience.

Auburn hopes to get back ontrack against San Jose State

49ers tight end Davis doubtfulfor Sunday with knee injury

SANTA CLARA — San Francisco 49ers tight end VernonDavis is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game against theGreen Bay Packers.

Davis left last week’s 47-7 loss to the Arizona Cardinalswith a right knee injury and did not return. He attempted topractice on Thursday and Friday but left the field at the s tart of team drills to work on the injury with the training staff.

Davis, 31, has eight catches for 109 yards and no touch-downs through three games. He missed two games in 2014while dealing with leg and back injuries, marking the firsttime he didn’t appear in at least 15 games since 2007.

“I was blocking on the play and someone accidentallybumped into my leg, kind of rolled into my leg and kindacaused my leg to strain,” Davis said.

Despite being listed as doubtful, Davis didn’t rule himself out of Sunday’s game against the undefeated Packers.

“Depends on how I feel. Feeling good? Why not?” Davissaid.

The last ti me Davis saw the Packers he made a go-ahead 28-yard touchdown grab in the fourth quarter of a playoff game inJanuary 2014. The 49ers won that game 23-20 on a 33-yardPhil Dawson field goal as ti me expired.

NOTES: RB Reggie Bush (calf) and WR Bruce Ellington(ankle) are listed as probable for Sunday after missing the lasttwo weeks. San Francisco was outscored 90-25 in thosegames, with the offense entering Sunday as the league’s low-est-scoring unit, averaging 15.0 points per game.

HOUSTON — Daniel Cormier is learningit was never the chase for the UFC lightheavyweight championship that motivatedhim.

It was something much simpl er.“I used to think t his was the motivation,”

Cormier said, lo oking to his left at the titleat UFC 192 Media Day on Thursday. “I real-ly did. Until I got it and nothing changed.Because at the bottom of it, there’s stillcompetitio n. That’s what I’m here for.”

That’s what’s drivin g th e champion aheadof his first title defense against AlexanderGustafsson at UFC 192 on Saturday at theToyo ta Center in Houston.

Cormier (16-1) lost his first shot at thelight heavyweight title to Jon Jones byunanimous decision at UFC 182. After Joneswas stripped of the title following felonycharges from a traffic accident, Cormier wonthe vacant light heavyweight title by sub-mission against Anthony Johnson at UFC

187 in May.Now he stands to face a hungry Gustafsso n

(16-3), who last lost to Joh nson via TKO.Gustafsson’s training camp focused on

wrestlin g among other thin gs, an d he’s con-fident his takedown defense — he blocked10 of Jones’ 11 takedown attempts in theirfight at UFC 165 — is key.

“You can talk a lot but let’s see what hap-pens inside,” Gustafsson said. “I know I’veturned every ston e in my trainin g camp. I’vebeen training with the best guys out therewhen it comes to the wrestling part.”

Cormier has somewhat become a polariz-ing figure since winning t he title. He spokeopenly about lack of respect from fans andspectators Thursday, but has come to termswith the fact he can worry about only whathappens inside the octagon.

“I think people like you when you’re onyour way up,” Cormier said. “But the timeyou accomplish stuff, it’s easier to dislikesomebody at the top than the guy trudging

along constantly.”

The WBC super lightweight belt is on the line

for Matthysse (37-3, 34 KOs) and Postol (27-0,11 KOs), the Freddie Roach-trained Ukrainianwith his own reputation to polish. DannyGarcia, who beat Matthysse in 2013 to win thesame WBC 140-pound belt, has moved up towelterweight and vacated his title, leaving it toMatthysse and Postol, long the mandatorychallenger.

Matthysse has stopped eight of his last 10opponents in violent fashion.
