DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Kwame Harris, the former San
Francisco 49er inadvertently outed as gay
by his arrest for allegedly seriously injur-
ing an ex-boyfriend during an argument at
a Menlo Park restaurant, began trial this
week for felony domestic violence.
Harris, 31, reportedly declined an offer
to settle the case and is instead in the
midst of jury selection for the trial on charges of domestic
violence and assault with force. He faces prison time if con-
victed.
However, Harris former boyfriend is refusing to testify in
the criminal trial and in February also dropped a civil law-
suit seeking damages for the alleged assault and emotional
distress. Even without alleged victim Dimitri Geiers phys-
ical participation, prosecutors can submit as evidence his

Seton Medical Center in Daly City mis-
takenly shipped a couples sheet-wrapped
stillborn daughter with other dirty laundry
to an outside vendor where the body was dis-
covered on a conveyor belt making its way
to a commercial washing machine, accord-
ing to a lawsuit led by the parents
The heartbreak of the couple, Julio and
Rina N. Arriaza, after the Oct. 29, 2012,
death of their daughter Estefani after 36
weeks of pregnancy was made horrific
beyond description by what happened to
her body, according to the suit led in San
Mateo County Superior Court against the
hospital and Seton Medical Center
Foundation.
The babys body was not only lost but
mishandled, leaving her lthy, swollen
and mutilated upon her return, the lawsuit
states.
Imagine, the worst thing in the world
happens to you by losing a child and then it
gets worse, said attorney Rafael Crespo Jr.
Seton Medical Center declined to com-
ment citing the pending litigation but the
suit claims Director James Schuessler apol-
ogized, accepted responsibility and gave
them a $2,500 check to cover burial
expenses. The suit also claims that
Schuessler assured the couple their daugh-
ters body had not been mishandled and the
funeral could proceed as scheduled.
I think they appreciate he did come to
them but it never should have come to that,
Crespo said.

Millbrae school officials are readying
plans for a parcel tax on the June 2014 bal-
lot to raise about $450,000 a year, however,
much depends on a community survey to be
conducted in January.
Its up to school district to really educate
community and public since we only have
grades K-8 and were recycling parents and
families constantly every couple of years,
said Frank Barbaro, president of the
Millbrae Elementary School District Board
of Trustees. We have to get back out there
and reeducate. We have families moving
into community and were the lowest funded
in the county.

Commi ttee and current ranking
member of the Subcommi ttee
on Communi cat i ons and
Te c hnol ogy, is part of a bipar-
tisan group of more than 70 House members who intro-
duced legislation to comprehensively reform U.S.

The legislation, known as the USA FREEDOM

U.S. intelligence community has trampled on the per-
sonal privacy and civil liberties of Americans by reg-
ularly collecting their metadata telephone records.
Metadata refers to telephone numbers, time and dura-
tion of phone calls, according to Eshoos office.
The legislation would increase transparency at the
secret court that reviews and approves the govern-

reforms to shine light on our intelligence agencies,
including allowing Internet companies to disclose
estimates of the number of FISC orders they receive
each year, and how many users are impacted, according
to Eshoos office.
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A Daly City man who allegedly left
his seriously injured passenger for
hours inside a crashed car off an
embankment before returning to move
the man into the drivers seat ahead of
authorities arrival is standing trial
this week for felony drunk driving and
driving on a suspended license.
Henock Admassu, 24, has pleaded
not guilty to the charges and an addi-
tional charge of eeing the scene of an
accident was dismissed at a prelimi-
nary hearing. The case was assigned to
a judge Monday and jury selection
began yesterday.
The odd chain of
events began just
before midnight
Dec. 10, 2012,
when Admassu
called 911 to say he
was involved in an
accident but disori-
ented and unclear
where he left the
vehicle containing
an injured passenger. About 45 min-
utes later, he arrived at his sisters
home and awoke her with the same
story. They reportedly spent the next
few hours driving around looking for
the spot and called 911 again around 4
a.m. to report the vehicles location
300 feet down off an embankment off
Skyline Boulevard.
When Daly City police and the
California Highway Patrol arrived,
they reportedly spotted Admassu
pulling the passenger from a Dodge
Charger and pushing him back into
the drivers side seat. Admassu was
uninjured in the crash and, seven
hours after, his blood alcohol level
was .05.
He remains free from custody on
$150,000 bail.

DUI driver in court
for killing couple
A54-year-old driver accused of fatally slam-
ming into a Menlo Park couple walking their
dog and another vehicle
carrying four teenagers
once again side-stepped
appearing in court for the
collision that also injured
the victims dog and
orphaned their three
teenage children.
Marjorie Reitzell, of
Redwood City, was rst
due in court Monday after-
noon but required medical care after complain-
ing of chest pains. The same was true yester-
day so she is now coming back to court today,
said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Reitzell will be charged with two counts of
gross vehicular manslaughter and two felony
counts of driving while under the inuence
causing injury. Reitzell, who is on probation
for a separate driving while under the inu-
ence misdemeanor conviction last November,
asked for a court-appointed attorney and put
off a plea until her next court appearance.
Reitzell is accused of killing Balbir and
Kamal Singh just before 7 p.m. Oct. 24 as
they walked their dog on Chilco Street.
Reitzell, who is on probation for a 2012 DUI
conviction, reportedly struck the couple from
behind before going over a center divider and
hitting the second car head-on before coming
to rest against a tree. The couple died at the
scene and their Chihuahua was injured but sur-
vived. He was treated at the Peninsula Humane
Society.
Prosecutors have not released a specic
blood alcohol level for Reitzell but said it was
signicantly more than twice the legal
limit. She had been drinking heavily all day,
according to the District Attorneys Ofce.
In addition to the DUI conviction, Reitzell
also has previous drug-related convictions.
She remains in custody on $2 million bail.

San Mateo police found an environmen-
tally friendly way to cut costs through its
purchase of an electric 2013 Zero DS Police
Motorcycle to help patrol downtown, the
department announced yesterday.
This is an incredible opportunity for San
Mateo police to continue exploring the cut-
ting edge of promising technologies. We
are excited to be beta-testing the best appli-
cations for these new motors in keeping
with our citys goals of sustainability and
lowering our carbon footprint, while
expanding our enforcement equipment and
tactics, San Mateo Police Chief Susan
Manheimer said in a press release.
Police will be testing different uses of the
Zero motorcycle to determine how to use it
most efciently and effectively. San Mateo
police chose to start testing the uses of the
bike by immediately adding it to its down-
town patrol unit.
It was truly an easy decision for our
department to integrate Zero into our current
eet of motorcycles. As a small community,
we wanted a motorcycle that could easily
maneuver its way through our downtown
trafc quietly and efciently without dis-
rupting the community, Deputy Police
Chief Michael Callagy said in a press
release.
Zeros 100 percent electric powertrain is
quiet, doesnt require routine maintenance
and the batteries are fully recyclable,
according to the Scotts Valley-based compa-
nys website. The motorcycles can last up to
135 city miles on one charge and can reach
speeds up to 95 mph, said John Lloyd, vice
president of Zero Motorcycles global sales
and a San Mateo resident.
The motorcycles are able to last an entire
shift on one charge lowering the depart-
ments operating costs and allowing
resources to be extended for more security
and a safer community, Callagy said in a
press release.
Unlike other electric vehicles, a Zero can
be charged from practically anywhere, only
requiring a 110 outlet, Lloyd said.
Zero partnered with cities like Monterey,
Santa Cruz and Scotts Valley law enforce-
ment agencies to develop a bike that suits

Trivia buffs get ready, the South San
Francisco Library is hosting its 21st annual
trivia challenge this Friday.
The trivia challenge pits teams of three
against each other in a competition to see
who can answer the most trivia questions
correctly. The questions, thought up by
library staff, cover a wide range of subjects,
from entertainment to government and liter-
ature.
Project Read, started by Leslie Shelton, is
a program that matches people 18 and over
with a tutor to help with specic skills, usu-
ally work related. Currently, Project Read in
north San Mateo County has 80 tutors and
120 learners from South City, Daly City and
Colma.
When South San Francisco started the
trivia challenge fundraiser in 1992, there
were only ve to seven teams participating
and between 50 and 60 people would attend.
This year, there are more than 34 teams.
After so many years of doing it, the sup-
port base is there, said Fernando Cordova,
literary services coordinator at the South

The Mid-Peninsula Water District
is having its rst contested elec-
tion in years with the addition of
Belmont Councilman Dave Warden
into the four-person race for three
open seats.
Joining him are incumbents
Betty Linvill and Al Stuebing,
along with challenger Mike
Malekos. Longtime director David
Altscher is not seeking re-election
after rst joining the board in
1999. Among the issues in the race
has been a recent embezzlement
scandal, reaching economies of
scale and ensuring water is provided
to its customers primarily in
Belmont, but also in portions of
San Carlos and unincorporated San
Mateo County. The candidates were
asked to answer the following ques-
tions in about 50 words.
What is the biggest chal-
lenge facing the district?
Li nvi l l : Our biggest challenge
is keeping user rates low. Our water
is purchased solely from the SFPUC
and their current retrotting of the
regional water system is necessary
but costly. We have cut staff and
reduced operating expenses in an
effort to keep rates in check. This is
a priority.
Mal ekos: Above all, stability
of rates. Additionally, the board
should concentrate on restoring
condence to its customers and the
public at large. It should ensure that
capital projects are done efciently
and on time. And, that safe high-
quality water is provided at a fair
price.
Stuebing: Continued access to
affordable, high-quality water.
Demand on Hetch Hetchy is
increasing and supply will likely
decrease. We need to maintain our
contracted rights to keep our sup-
ply of water. And we need to contin-
ue to use water more efciently. My
experience in energy efciency will
help here.
Warden: The districts biggest
challenge is to balance the increas-
ing costs of maintaining an aging
infrastructure with the need to keep
water and service rates from explod-
ing. We need to continually explore
cost reduction strategies in lieu of
never-ending rate increases as well
as to create a longer term nancial
plan.
Do you feel as if the district
has taken the proper act i ons
si nce the recent embezzl e-
ment situation?
Li nvi l l : When this came to
light a forensic audit was promptly
ordered and insurance reimburse-
ment of our approximate loss has
been paid. Acertied fraud examiner
and a new CPAwere also engaged.
The 2013 audit results will be
reported at the next board meeting.
We invite the public to attend.
Mal ekos: This begs the ques-
tion, how did this happen? I agree
with measures taken; however, they
did not go far enough. The embez-
zlement occurred as a result of a fail-
ure to institute fundamental risk
management principles. Outside
consultants were retained to estab-
lish basic operating policies. If
elected, Id serve as watchdog.
Stuebi ng: Yes. With guidance
from experts in the eld, we have
installed financial controls that
will prevent future embezzlement.
Further, we have a new general
manager, a new administrative
services manager and new audi-
tors. All are focused on using
these controls for the protection
of the district and its customers.
Warden: Additional nancial
controls are now in place; a new
auditor has been hired. However,
Im critical of the complacency that
created such vulnerabilities in the
organization. If the responsible
manager had not taken ill, she
would likely still be stealing
money! Furthermore, budgetary
transparency and nancial report-
ing deciencies still remain.
Are there ways the district
can better reach economies of
scal e?
Li nvi l l : We belong to BAWSCA
for economies of scale. This
agency represents us, along with
23 other Bay Area cities and dis-
tricts, in the purchase of water from
San Francisco. On the expense
side, we belong to the Association
of California Water Agencies for
Legislative, Regulatory and Water
Management and sustainability
issues.
Mal ekos: Id explore whether
its more efcient for the district to
merge with a larger water utility.
Large utilities operate at lower
costs and have the ability to spread
expenses over a wider customer
base. The result is a reduced cost of
service and the potential for reduced
rates.
Stuebi ng: There are options
worth exploring, like sharing
equipment or combining with
another agency, but scale itself
does not mean greater efciency.
Water rates in Belmont are about
the same as Palo Altos and
Redwood Citys and lower than
Burlingames larger cities with
the same water source and similar
territories.
Warden: The water district, with
its 17 employees and $10M in rev-
enue, should rely on other agencies
to be cost-effective. The district
should seriously consider sharing
nance and other administrative
roles with other agencies. For
example, the Belmont Fire
Department saves over
$500,000/year by partnering with
San Mateo and Foster City.

The Sierra Nevada Corporation Dream Chaser ight vehicle is
readied for 60 mph tow tests at NASAs Dryden Flight Research
Center in Edwards.
Mini space shuttle skids
off runway in test flight
By Marcia Dunn
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. A new, smaller version of
NASAs space shuttle is recuperating from a rough rst land-
i ng.
The Dream Chaser space plane is being designed by Sierra
Nevada Corp. Its vying to carry astronauts to and from the
International Space Station in four or ve more years.
The Nevada-based company tested a full-scale model at
Edwards Air Force Base in California on Saturday. A heli-
copter dropped the unmanned craft from 12,500 feet in a rst
free ight reminiscent of NASAs drop tests of the shuttle
prototype Enterprise in the 1970s.
Everything worked well for the automated Dream Chaser
model until the end, when the left landing gear deployed too
late and the test vehicle skidded off the runway.
Company space systems chief Mark Sirangelo said
Tuesday that damage was minor. The left gear was still
attached and the tire wasnt even shredded, he said. The crew
cabin area was unscathed astronauts would have been
uninjured, he said. The ight computers never stopped
working, and nothing critical was damaged.

WASHINGTON Move over, web-
site woes. Lawmakers confronted the
Obama administration Tuesday with a
difcult new health care problem a
wave of cancellation notices hitting
small businesses and individuals who
buy their own insurance.
At the same time, the federal ofcial
closest to the website apologized for
its dysfunction in new sign-ups and
asserted things are getting better by
the day.
Medicare chief Marilyn Tavenner
said its not the administration but
insurers who are responsible for can-
cellation letters now reaching many of
the estimated 14 million people who
buy individual policies. And, ofcials
said, people who get cancellation
notices will be able to find better
replacement plans, in some cases for
less.
The Associated Press, citing the
National Association of Insurance
Commissioners, reported in May that
many carriers would opt to cancel poli-
cies this fall and issue new ones.
Administratively that was seen as eas-
ier than changing existing plans to
comply with the new law, which man-
dates coverage of more services and
provides better financial protection
against catastrophic illnesses.
While the administration had ample
warning of the cancellations, they
could become another public relations
debacle for President Barack Obamas
signature legislation. This problem
goes to the credibility of one of the
presidents earliest promises about the
health care overhaul: You can keep
your plan if you like it.
Based on what little information
the administration has disclosed, it
turns out that more people have
received cancellation notices for their
health care plans this month than have
enrolled in the (health care website),
said Ways and Means Chairman Dave
Camp, R-Mich. He cited a news report
of 146,000 cancellations in his state
alone.

blow for Obama administration

SACRAMENTO California could
gain tens of millions of dollars annu-
ally in federal reimbursements for
prison health care under the nations
new health law, state and federal of-
cials said Tuesday.
The money would come from
Medicaid reimbursements for inmates
who are treated in outside hospitals. It
would not help pay for health care
within prisons.
Anationwide study of prison health
care spending released by The Pew
Charitable Trusts cites an estimate
from Californias nonpartisan
Legislative Analysts Ofce that the
state could save nearly $70 million
annually.
The study assumes that California
will take full advantage of a change in
federal law that will make Medicaid
coverage available to low-income
childless adults, meaning more prison-
ers will be eligible.
Health reforms could help California prison spending

WASHINGTON Facing lawmakers who
suggested U.S. surveillance has gone too
far, the national intelligence director on
Tuesday defended spying on foreign allies as
necessary and said such scrutiny of
Americas friends and vice versa is
commonplace.
Another top intelligence ofcial said the
collection of phone records that prompted
outrage across the Atlantic actually was con-
ducted with the help of European govern-
ments. News reports that the National
Security Agency had swept up millions of
phone records in France, Spain and else-
where were inaccurate and reected a misun-
derstanding of metadata that was in fact
collected by NATO allies and shared with the
United States, the director of the NSAtold a
congressional hearing.
The nations post-Sept. 11 surveillance
programs are coming under increased criti-
cism at home and abroad, capped by recent
revelations that the NSAmonitored German
Chancellor Angela Merkels cellphone and
those of up to 34 other world leaders. Those
reports relied on documents provided by for-
mer NSAanalyst Edward Snowden.
Congressional leaders who have been
staunch supporters of the NSAprograms are
now saying it is time for a close examina-
tion. The White House said Tuesday that
President Barack Obama had ordered a full
review of the programs and was considering
changes.
National Intelligence Director James
Clapper defended the secret surveillance that
sweeps up phone records and emails of mil-
lions of Americans as vital to protecting
against terrorists.
He played down European allies com-
plaints about spying on their leaders, say-
ing the allies do it, too.
Thats a hardy perennial, Clapper told a
House intelligence committee hearing.
He said during his 50 years working in
intelligence it was a basic tenet to collect,
whether by spying on communications or
through other sources, condential informa-
tion about foreign leaders that reveals if
what theyre saying gels with whats actual-
ly going on.
Committee Chairman Mike Rogers asked
whether allies had conducted the same type
of espionage against U.S. leaders.
Absolutely, Clapper responded.
Asked about collection of foreign phone
records, the NSAs director, Gen. Keith
Alexander, testied that the U.S. did not col-
lect European records alone, as was reported
over the past week to an outcry of criticism
across Europe.
Alexander said the U.S. was given data by
NATO partners, often collected from else-
where around the world, as part of a program
to protect military interests. He disputed
that the program targeted European citizens,
but did not offer specics. He called the
reports completely false.
As for efforts at home, the intelligence
leaders defended sweeping up records of U.S.
phone calls as necessary to combat terror-
ism. The Obama administration vigorously
opposes efforts to curtail the internal spy-
ing programs that have angered some
Americans.

OPINION 9
Yes on Measure P
Editor,
As a local CPAand business owner,
I want to ensure that measures to sup-
port school districts are scally
sound and cost-effective. That is why
I am supporting Measure P.
First, it will help relieve the acute
overcrowding problems our school
district is facing, in both San Mateo
and Foster City, by adding school
capacity. Other improvements to
classrooms and labs will also be com-
pleted.
But what is most important to me is
the Measure P plan to support 21st-
century technology. The state has
implemented new, rigorous academic
standards called the Common Core.
To display their academic skills and
knowledge under these new standards,
all students will be required to take
computerized exams, commencing in
spring 2014. To prepare for this pro-
found shift in curriculum and instruc-
tion, our schools must be able to pro-
vide up-to-date technology to all stu-
dents, especially those without the
means to afford technology in their
own homes. The good news is that
Measure P is a sound nancing mech-
anism for technology. Short-term
technology funding bonds have been
used for years to support school dis-
tricts that have limited funding for
such equipment. With strapped gener-
al funds due to unstable and unreliable
state funding, local sources of rev-
enue have been critical in providing
both facilities upgrades and educa-
tional technology. In fact, School
Services of California recently
endorsed this strategy to prepare for
the Common Core.
To provide the necessary learning
technology to keep our students
ahead of the curve, we need Measure P.
Please join me and support Measure P.

Letter to the editor
M
ost people think of a
municipal water agency
only when they get their
bill, or when the spigot runs dry. But
for the Mid-Peninsula Water District,
there has been interest because of a
recent case of alleged embezzlement
by a former district employee and
questions about the Board of
Directors oversight of its nances.
Though there have been other
instances of embezzlement in small
special districts, this situation
appears to be isolated. The district is
moving on with better controls and a
new general manager. Still, there is
something to be said for better over-
sight and new ideas.
Belmont Councilman Dave Warden
decided to throw his hat into the ring
when he heard there might not be a
contested election for the three open
seats. Warden is known as a stickler
for details who is denitely not afraid
of asking questions. He would like to
see more robust nancial reporting
and an exploration of shared services.
Aprimary target for a partnership
would be the city of Belmont, accord-
ing to Warden, since the district pri-
marily serves that city. However, that
is one option among many that could
be explored. Warden is a great match
for this district at this time and would
ensure there are proper checks in
place to ensure embezzlement never
happens again and that the district
looks at ways to save money and con-
tinue to provide water at a good rate
for its customers.
Of the incumbents, Al Stuebing is a
solid choice. He recognizes the horri-
ble nature of the alleged embezzle-
ment and is leading the charge in
making sure proper controls are in
place. He has an easy nature, but rm
grasp on the possible paths the dis-
trict could take to ensure quality serv-
ice and low rates. He is an obvious
choice to return to the board.
Challenger Mike Malekos has a
good amount of utility experience
through Pacic Gas and Electric and
has the proper emphasis on maintain-
ing low rates and exploring a merger
with a larger water agency to achieve
better economies of scale.
The Mid-Peninsula Water District is
obviously in a transitional period
with an embezzlement scandal, new
management and opportunities to
explore shared services with other
agencies. To achieve scal stability,
it needs proper oversight and ener-
getic members of its Board of
Directors. Of the candidates, we high-
ly recommend Warden but also recom-
mend Stuebing and Malekos.
Malekos, Stuebing, Warden for water district How spooky can it get?
W
e have to abandon the passive role we have
accepted as mere consumers of media; we
must see ourselves in a new light or
rather see ourselves once again in a revolutionary light
as citizen leaders with responsibilities to speak the truth.
Naomi Wolf, The End of America in speaking of
liberals.
I dont want to complete-
ly spook you out or any-
thing, but then I think of
what those determined and
obstinate tea party types
and the wimpy legislators
who have not stood up to
them and put them in their
place have been doing to
this country. When it comes
to being frightening, the
ghosts and goblins of
Halloween cannot come
close. And as I looked
through my notebook and
noticed all of the references
and quotes I had jotted down in relation to this debacle, I
just automatically marched to the desktop.
The tea party types keep holding us hostage to their
demands completely obsessed with what is obviously
their aim to sabotage Obamacare with no thought to the
consequences for anyone else. Too bad there havent been
enough undaunted congressmen and congresswomen to pro-
tect us from this threat to our democracy. Its such a sad
comment on the human condition when people who are
obsessed with their own narcissistic aims can throw the
whole country out of whack and so many of our legislators
are so beholden to special interests that chaos results.
It was bad enough during George Ws administration. We
were duped while he and his mentally sclerotic cohorts
maneuvered us into unnecessary wars. Now we have to deal
with the antics of people with similar brain quirks who
have been doggedly pursuing ways to bring down the
Obama administration. You cant help but wonder how some
people become so arrogant and narcissistic and what is
behind their behavior. As one wise commentator recom-
mended: We must face reality instead of trying to make
reality t our preconceived ideas of what reality should be.
So how did those ultra-conservatives become so com-
pletely engulfed in their self-serving aims, closed to any
thoughts but their own and so dismissive of those of us
who believe government and democracy should operate for
everyone? What caused them to become so indifferent to
the welfare of the rest of us and so obsessed with being in
control? Nature or nurture?
Looking for some answers, I went to my book closet and
there I found three very interesting books that offer much
insight into the ultra-conservative mindset. One was writ-
ten about what made George W. tick: Bush on the Couch
(2004), by Justin A. Frank M.D. In describing Bush and
others like him (including his cohort Cheney) Frank wrote:
He wants to do what he wants to do and nobody can
stop him. The megalomaniac hates anybody else having
power it is always a potential threat to his own. Add
Jacob Weisberg, author of The Bush Tragedy (2008), in
referring to Bush 43: Bushs inexibility is rooted in the
old family drama. At a temperamental level, the president
has almost no ability to accept blame or learn from mis-
takes.
Also I found The Republican Brain (2012), by Chris
Mooney who writes at length about the problem of the
right wing mind and how it got that way. Some of our indi-
vidual brain cells have latent ideological implications, and
may predispose us toward the adoption of beliefs that feel
right to us religious beliefs and political beliefs, among
others. Then he goes into our environment especially
the inuence of our family and the region of the country in
which we live, the era, the political structures, the commu-
nication technologies in use.
And his basic conclusion: Part of the truce would require
conservatives to recognize that if you want knowledge, you
must go to a person (or better yet, a group of persons, like
the scientic community) that is adept at determining what
it actually is. You dont just get to make it up for yourself
and deny what actual experts say because youre sure youre
right. (Think global warming).
We dont need Halloween to remind us that there are
spooks out there to harass us. We dont need to hear anyone
yell Boo or even Trick or Treat. We who cannot fathom
how some people can be so recalcitrant are already spooked
enough by the tricks of the extreme rights tactics which,
we can be sure, havent ended. As the Oct. 21 editorial in
one of our newspapers expressed: Whats really scary is
that we might have to do it all again.
Our democracy is in danger. The danger has its roots in
money, power, social structure and history, but its ultimate
source is in the brains of our citizens. George Lakoff,

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
NEWYORK The Dow Jones indus-
trial average is back in record territory.
Investors drove the Dow to an all-
time high Tuesday on expectations that
the Federal Reserve will keep its eco-
nomic stimulus program in place.
The Fed is in the middle of a two-day
policy meeting at which its expected
to maintain its $85 billion worth of
monthly bond purchases. That pro-
gram is aimed at stimulating economic
growth by keeping borrowing costs at
historic lows.
The expectation that the Fed
remains clearly on hold is the catalyst
for this march higher, said Quincy
Krosby, a market strategist at
Prudential Financial.
Stocks have surged to record levels
this year as the Feds stimulus has
helped corporations boost profits.
Relatively low yields on bonds have
also encouraged investors to buy
stocks.
The Dow rose 111.42 points, or 0.7
percent, to 15,680.35. The index last
climbed to a record Sept. 18 when the
Fed surprised financial markets by
announcing that it would continue it
stimulus because the economy had yet
to show strong enough growth.
Since then, the economy has endured
a 16-day partial shutdown of the gov-
ernment that has hurt consumer con-
dence and likely crimped growth. For
that reason, many analysts and econo-
mists are predicting that the Fed will
continue its stimulus until early next
year.
On Tuesday, the Dow also got a big
boost from IBM. The technology com-
panys stock surged after it said it
would buy $15 billion more of its own
stock.
IBM gained $4.77, or 2.7 percent, to
$181.12, accounting for about a quarter
of the indexs gain.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
also closed at a record, the 33rd time it
has closed at an all-time high this year.
The index rose 9.84 points, or 0.6
percent, to 1,771.95. It is on track to
log its best monthly performance of
the year. It is up 5.4 percent so far in
October.
Stocks have also been boosted this
month as corporations report third-
quarter earnings.
About half the companies in the S&P
500 have reported. So far, most are
doing better than expected. Companies
in the index are forecast to log growth
of 4.5 percent, according to data from
S&P Capital IQ.
The Nasdaq composite rose 12.21
points, or 0.3 percent, to 3,952.34.
The Nasdaq Stock Market was hit
with another glitch. Nasdaq indexes
werent updated from 11:53 a.m. to
12:37 p.m. because of a technical
problem that was caused by human
error, the exchange operator said in a
statement. Trading of Nasdaq-listed
stocks wasnt affected.
On Sept. 4, the Nasdaq had a brief
outage in one of its quote dissemina-
tion channels, but trading wasnt dis-
rupted. On Aug. 22 the exchange suf-
fered a three-hour trading outage that
was also attributed to problems with
the exchanges price disseminating
system.
Two economic reports came in rela-
tively weak on Tuesday, which may
have signaled to investors that the Fed
will continue to delay any reduction of
its bond buying.
Retail sales fell 0.1 percent in
September, the weakest showing since
March, as auto sales dipped.
Americans condence in the economy
fell this month to the lowest level
since April. People were worried about
the impact of the 16-day partial shut-
down of the U.S. government.
The data that has been the most
attractive to (stock) markets seems to
be the data that maintains the status
quo, said Brad Sorensen, the director
of market and sector analysis at the
Schwab Center for Financial
Research.
Dow at record high as Fed meeting begins
By Barbara Ortutay
NEW YORK LinkedIn Corp. posted a
loss for the third quarter on Tuesday, but the
results were stronger than Wall Street
expected as the professional networking
service boosted its user base and increased
revenue.
Such results have become routine for
LinkedIn. The company has surpassed ana-
lysts expectations in each of its 10 quarters
as a publicly traded company. Its outlook
for the current quarter, however, was below
estimates and its stock fell in extended trad-
ing after the results were released.
LinkedIn lost $3.4 million, or 3 cents per
share, in the July-September period com-
pared with earnings of $2.3 million, or 2
cents per share, in the same period a year
ago. Adjusted earnings were $46.8 million,
or 39 cents per share, in the latest quarter,
which beat analysts expectations by 7
cents.
Revenue rose 56 percent, to $393 million
from $252 million. Analysts predicted
$384.8 million, according to FactSet.
For the current quarter, LinkedIn forecast a
revenue range of $415 million to $420 mil-
lion, which is below Wall Streets expecta-
tions of $438.9 million. LinkedIn typically
lowballs its forecasts.
The company raised its full-year revenue
guidance for 2013 to about $1.5 billion,
still slightly below analysts estimates of
$1.51 billion.
Sears considering
spinning off Lands End
NEW YORK Its like watching an old
friend slowly fall apart.
Sears was once the place where families
could go for an afternoon of one-stop shop-
ping for everything from clothing to appli-
ances to car parts. But it has struggled in
recent years amid declining sales and stiff
competition.
Now, Sears, which runs 2,500 Kmart and
Sears stores, is considering separating its
Lands End catalog business and Sears Auto
Center businesses from the rest of the com-
pany. The retailer also plans to continue
closing some of its unprotable stores and
is selling some store leases in Canada.
The announcements came Tuesday as Sears
warned that it expects a loss of $582 mil-
lion in the third quarter on another drop in
sales. The company said that for the 12
weeks that ended Saturday its sales at stores
open at least a year fell 3.7 percent.
On the news, Sears shares rose $5.66, or
more than 10 percent, to $61.22 midday.
Earnings preview: Chevrons
3Q expected to be flat
NEW YORK Chevron Corp.s oil and
gas production is rising, but weaker renery
results and foreign exchange losses are
expected to offset those gains and keep
earnings at for the company in the third
quarter.
Chevron, based in San Ramon reports its
third quarter earnings Friday.
Chevron is on track for higher production
compared with last year, thanks in part to a
quiet hurricane season this year in the Gulf
of Mexico. Last year, production was cur-
tailed because of Hurricane Isaac.
In its interim update for the quarter, issued
in early October, Chevron said oil and gas
production for the quarter was outpacing last
years quarter by 2.2 percent in the U.S. and
by 3.1 percent internationally.

MAKE IT A FOUR PEAT: UPDATES ON CAADA GOLF, MENLO SOCCER AND MORE CSM SPORTS >> PAGE 12
By Eric Olson
LINCOLN, Neb. College coaches and
administrators concerned about their tweet-
ing athletes also should be wary of their
tweeting fans.
Social media experts pointed to vitriolic
messages directed at football players from
Missouri and Nebraska last weekend as
examples of why schools should counsel
athletes on how to cope with criticism that
crosses the line from heckling to hate.
What I worry about is some of the psy-
chological outcomes. Does it lead to
decreased self-esteem? Does it lead to
depression? Does it lead to guys not eating
and sleeping right? said Jimmy Sanderson,
a Clemson researcher who collaborated on a
2012 study of how college athletes react to
negative encounters with fans on social
media.
College athletes have always been targets
for criticism, whether through the mail, on
radio shows or catcalls from the stands.
Because of Twitter and other platforms,
direct access to college and professional
athletes has never been greater. Most inter-
action is positive. But the messages can get
nasty when upset fans type words they sure-
ly wouldnt say to an athletes face.
Last Saturday, after Missouri kicker
Andrew Baggett missed a short eld goal in
overtime against South Carolina, he was
accosted on Twitter. There were comments
about his ability, homophobic slurs and
one tweet that said go kill yourself every-
one in Missouri hates you.
Baggett said this week that supportive
tweets outnumbered the negative 20 fold.
Nobodys comment made me feel worse
than what I did on that eld, he said.
Players can struggle when heckling turns into hate

Woodsides Christine Alftin ies in for an attack during the Wildcats ve-set win over
Carlmont.Woodside lost the rst two sets before rallying for the victory, which moved it into
sole possession of rst place in the PAL Bay Division.
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
While Christine Alftin is arguably the best
player in the Peninsula Athletic League, her
Woodside squad (10-1 Bay Division, 17-7
overall) is now the outright top team in the
Bay Division.
Entering into play yesterday tied with
Carlmont (9-2, 19-8) for rst place in the Bay,
Woodside, after dropping the rst two sets,
scored and emotional comeback win 22-25,
12-25, 25-21, 25-23, 15-13.
The Scots kept Alftin in check early on, but
the 6-foot senior would not be denied, notch-
ing 34 match kills, including 11 kills in the
third set to help turn the tide, before tabbing
eight kills in the decisive fth set. And as she
red the powerful game-winning shot, the
teams outpouring of emotion in front of its
home crowd culminated in what is thus far the
volleyball dogpile of the year.
Im overwhelmed, Alftin said. Im so
proud of my team. Especially after that second
game, we just got crushed.
Indeed. The last time the two teams met on
Oct. 3, the Scots surged from behind to over-
power the Wildcats in the nal two sets. And
yesterday, the Scots nonchalantly picked up
right where they left off, capturing the rst two
sets and looking poised to cruise to victory.
But Woodside made some big-time adjust-
ments, getting back into rotation after an
injury to sophomore Jesse Larkin midway
through the rst set. The injury forced head
coach Kyle Mashima to shufe his lineup. And
while Larkin soon returned, Woodside found
itself out of system until retooling to start
Game 3.
Impromptu pep talks from Alftin and fellow
senior Dani Walsh also paid off.
We told [our teammates] were a team that
can come back, Alftin said. Weve done it
before, and we can do it again.
With Alftin moving up from the back row,
Woodside turned the tide in a hurry. And while
Walsh wasnt the force to be reckoned with at
net she typically is, her on-court leadership
sparked Alftin big time.
Wildcats roar to victory

Its the almost unfair and cruel reality
playing football in the NorCal Conference.
You can celebrate a huge victory on
Saturday. Maybe even a little on Sunday. But
come Monday, if youre still dwelling on
your latest achievement, frankly youre
already behind for the next game.
Thats life right now if youre the College
of San Mateo. Forty-eight hours after taking
down rival City College of San Francisco
for the rst time since 2009 in what one of
their team captains described as a spiritual
win, the Bulldogs are in full-on preparation
mode with a pending four- hour bus ride up
north to face the No. 1 ranked team in the
state Butte College. Both teams are unde-
feated in 2013.
I told the guys were 7-0 on Saturday, 7-0
on Sunday, 0-0 on Monday, said CSM head
coach Bret Pollack. Its great because ...
you cant look back. And so many people
want to look back and you have another
game coming. And it goes both ways. You
have to train yourself, wins and losses, the
same way because if it was a negative result,
you dont want to hang on to it either. The
problem is, you cant pick and choose. You
have to discipline yourself, stay in your rou-
tine, stay in the moment and if you want
to celebrate more, then win next week.
Thats easier said than done for the
Tests keep
coming for

Warriors SF Harrison Barnes
to miss first two games of season
OAKLAND Harrison Barnes will miss
at least the rst two games of the regular
season for the Golden State Warriors with a
left foot injury.
Warriors coach Mark Jackson told
reporters following Tuesdays practice that
shooting guard Klay Thompson will start in
the season opener against the Los Angeles
Lakers on Wednesday night. Jackson also
said that Thompson already had earned the
nod and will start even when Barnes returns.
Barnes has not played since the teams
second preseason game Oct. 7. The Warriors
have said Barnes has left foot inamma-
tion.
Barnes started every game he played as a
rookie last season, including the playoffs.
With all ve starters back from last season,
Barnes and Thompson were competing to
remain starters after the Warriors signed
swingman Andre Iguodala this summer.

The women from the Caada College golf
team have done it again.
And that means, its a four-peat.
With a win on Tuesday at Riverbend in
Madera and a subsequent victory over
Reedley College, the Lady Colts captured
their fourth straight
Coast Conference
championship. They
accomplished their
15-0 march through
the season in style,
too. The Lady Colts,
led by Sarah Rotters
71 (1-under par), shot
a school record 300.
Rotter, who birdied
four of the last five
holes, also picked up
the Conference Most
Valuable Player with a 76 as her year aver-
age. That was one shot better than second.
And that award comes a year after Rotter n-
ished second.
It was really exciting, Rotter said. The
other player, shes really great so I was hon-
ored to play next to her. Its nice to know I
was able to bring my A game and really
turn it on on the back side.
It was a really good match to watch,
said Caada head coach Rick Velasquez.
The girls were just really excited to play
today. They really focused well.
Velasquez said the win was sweeter consid-
ering his team had hit a bit of a plateau the
last couple of weeks and turned it up against
a good Reedley squad
I wasnt sure we could get off it, he said.
But we certainly did today.
It was really an intense match, Rotter
said. Weve been neck and neck all season.
I think we just had a little more condence.
I got some great advice from my assistant
coach and I really took it to heart.
Laura Arellano shot a 73 for the Lady
Colts and hit 17 greens in regulation. Kristi
Wong shot a 74. Shannon Wong wasnt too
far behind with an 82. Rayla Hernadez
turned in an 86 while Michelle Wong was
good for an 87.
Were just going to take it one round at a
time, one shot at time, Rotter said about
her squad heading into the Northern
California championship on Nov. 11. We
just hope to do our best, make it to state and
hopefully nish better than third. We go out
there knowing everyone really respects one
another and has each others back. That
gives us a lot of condence.
Menlo College soccer
Menlo College senior Natalie Ingram
scored her sixth and seventh goals of the
season during Menlos two-win week and
earned Cal Pac Offensive Player of the Week
honors for her efforts.
A native of San Jose, Ingram helped the
Lady Oaks to a 2-1 record last week that has
Menlo just one point out of second place in
the conference standings. A 2012 First
Team All-Conference performer and 2012
Cal Pac Newcomer of the Year, Ingram is cur-
rently third on Menlos all-time scoring list
with 23 career goals.
Ingram had a hand in her nal match at
Wunderlich Field last week.
In a 4-3 thriller against Marymount,
Ingram scored an equalizing goal in the
62nd minute.
The Lady Oaks improve to 9-3 (6-2) while
Marymount falls to 9-6 (6-3).
The rst goal of the match came just ve
minutes in when Victoria Piazza found the
net for her fourth goal of the season cour-
tesy of an assist from Menlo senior Megan
McKee. Just over 20 minutes later, the Lady
Oaks extended its lead on a penalty kick
from Kayla Cisneroz that was set up by a
great run taken by Ingram who was fouled
by Mariner keeper Andrea Poeschel.
Cisneroz was clinical in her nish and was
rewarded with her rst goal of the 2013 cam-
paign.
The remainder of the rst half was domi-
nated by Marymount who found the net
twice, once in the 51st minute and once in
the 38th, to tie it a two-all heading into the
half.
Just five minutes into the half,
Marymount took its rst lead of the match
courtesy of an unassisted goal from
Mackenzie Collard. Playing from behind
for the rst time in the game sparked the
Menlo offense and proved the Lady Oaks
were not to be denied in their nal game of
the season on their home turf.
But it was Ingram in the 62nd that equal-
ized and put open the door for Jocelyn
Aguilar to score the game-winner.
CSM water polo
With only two games remaining on the con-
ference schedule, second place is up for grabs
in the Coast Conference and the College of
San Mateo has its sights on it.
After a huge win over West Valley last week
and then a dominate showing against Ohlone,
the Lady Bulldogs will take on Cabrillo today
with the winner all but locking up second
place heading into the conference tourna-
ment.
I learned from the girls that if we apply
what weve been working on, in terms of the
system, that is does work, said CSM head
coach Randy Wright about last weeks wins.
The system matches up with our strengths
and it gives us the ability to be successful.
Awin on the road against Cabrillo is huge
for two reasons, according to Wright. First,
there will most likely be a rematch during the
conference tournament and second, that
rematch will favor the team that establishes
superiority in todays match.
Thatll be a big game. Theyve had some
great nishes all year. Theyve beat some
teams we havent been able to beat, Wright
said. Theyve done a good job. Im going to
say they have a speed advantage on us so were
going to have to protect the middle of the
pool where they are advantageous. I think that
our defense in the half court has really come a
long way. In terms of our offense, the ow of
it is what its all about. Were not necessarily
going to the same card every time. Theyre
accessing what gives us the best chance to be
successful. And then were going from there.
CSM cross country
Its a big a couple of tough weeks for the cross
country program at CSM.
While the middle of the year showed great
promise with the rise of a couple of new runners,
the injury bug has struck and the Bulldogs go
into the Coast Conference championships in
Salinas today hoping theyve healed up well
enough to leave a solid mark and qualify for
state.
If we can get ve (good times) at the confer-
ence meet, I think we have a really good shot at
winning that, said CSM head coach Joe
Mangan, with particular regard to his womens
team.
The women performed very well at the Shasta
Invitational. They took rst, second, fourth and
sixth place with Mei-Lin Okino winning the
whole thing.
But heading into the conference meet,
Alejandra Marin, Mangans No. 2, is one of
those runners coming back from injury.
On the mens side, Mangan was down
Anthony Cortes (who nished second at
Shasta) and Francisco Vargas. Hes hoping both
will be ready for Tuesdays event.
If we got it all together, we can crack that top
10 and make it to the state meet, Mangan said.
Not to have one or two of those guys would be
detrimental. We dont have that much depth.

SANTACLARA Jim Harbaugh
is undecided whether he will allow
himself a day off during San
Franciscos bye week. Even with a
whirlwind stretch of travel nally
over.
It all will depend on how prepared
the 49ers coach feels a few days
from now for the Carolina
Panthers, who come to town for a
Nov. 10 game at Candlestick Park.
The way his team is rolling right
now, who could blame Harbaugh for
wanting to keep on working?
After a road game at Tennessee
followed by a weeklong stay in
London before beating the winless
Jaguars on Sunday, Harbaugh is
happy to be back on familiar
ground, even citing the joy of look-
ing out at the green practice elds at
the training facility.
One of the other bonuses of a
long stay away, you get nine days
away, is just how fresh your facility
feels when you get back and the
practice elds, the food, the com-
fort of your own
bed, your kids,
Harbaugh said

c o n f e r e n c e .
But, the facili-
ty weve been
in, the meeting
rooms, offices
that the fellas
have been in for the last six to nine
months now feel, wow, its great to
be back. This is new, its not stale
bread anymore. Its another bonus.
So, it gives you life and enthusi-
asm, which is a good thing.
The 49ers (6-2) are riding a ve-
game winning streak as they wel-
come what will be a much-needed
break for most players this week.
Though Harbaugh saw several regu-
lars on site Tuesday, including quar-
terback Colin Kaepernick and
defensive tackle Ray McDonald and
a couple of players rehabilitating
from injuries.
Still right in the race for a third
straight NFC West crown, the 49ers
are eager to keep a good thing
going. They have scored 30 or more
points in ve straight games, and
have the NFLs top-ranked running
game behind Frank Gore.
Harbaugh praised the offense,
defense and special teams.
A lot of positives, he said.
Really a dramatic improvement in
terms of playing disciplined, sound
technique football. So, its a great
job by the fellas in that regard.
Executions been good, getting bet-
ter and you keep seeing that we can,
that theres even, you play good
football and theres room for
improvement, ways that we can
improve. So, that is the one of the
most encouraging things is that
were playing good and we can get
better.
San Francisco hardly looks like
the team that lost back-to-back
games in Weeks 2 and 3 to Seattle
and Indianapolis outscored 56-
10.
No question I felt like we were a
good team then, but we really
focused in and just understanding
what we have to do in order to keep
on keeping ourselves in the right
position and in the right place,
linebacker Patrick Willis said.
Harbaugh is holding a pair of
opportunity practices this week,
primarily for the young players
though many veterans have stuck
around like in previous years.
He remains hopeful that Michael
Crabtree, the teams top wide
receiver last season, will return
from Achilles tendon surgery some-
time next month.
Thats doable, Harbaugh said.
Im not going to make any procla-
mations or profound statements,
but hes right on track for, at some
point here, weeks.
In addition, Mario Manningham
could return soon.
Manningham made 42 receptions
for 449 yards and one touchdown in
12 games and 10 starts last season
before injuring his left knee in a
loss at Seattle Dec. 23. He under-
went reconstructive surgery to
repair torn anterior cruciate and
posterior cruciate ligaments.
He has been practicing for two
weeks and the Niners must decide by
next Tuesday whether to add him to
the 53-man roster from the physi-
cally unable to perform list.
Harbaugh hasnt allowed himself
to think about how much more his
offense might do with the additions
of Crabtree and Manningham. He
wants to get running back
LaMichael James back into the mix
rst.
Weve really been focused on
what we have this week. Those
being the best available players,
and theyre all doing a real ne job
and how we could use them differ-
ently, Harbaugh said. Get
LaMichael in the mix. We want to
get that going. Hes too good of a
player not to be playing.
Not es : As Harbaugh hinted
would happen, rookie DT Tank
Carradine was activated from the
reserve/non-football injury list
Tuesday and could play against the
Panthers. San Francisco cleared
roster room by waiving LB
Jermaine Cunningham. Carradine,
a second-round draft pick out of
Florida State, has been working
back from a torn ACL and resumed
practice Oct. 15.
Harbaugh happy with 49ers at seasons midpoint

The Peninsula Athletic League girls tennis
tournament is set and for the rst time, there
wont be a champion.
Thats because by virtue of Carlmont and
Hillsdale nishing the regular season with
identical 13-1 records, both teams will play in
the team tournament and a nal wont be held.
Essentially, Carlmont, which earns the
No.1 seed by virtue of a tiebreaker with
Hillsdale, will host No. 4 seed and Ocean
Division champion Mills in one match.
Hillsdale, meanwhile, will host No. 3 Aragon
in another match. The winners of those two
matches earn automatic bids into the Central
Coast Section tournament.
Both matches begin at 3:30 p.m. today.
Normally, the Bay Divisions regular-sea-
son champion gets an automatic bid into CCS
and skips the team tournament, which anoints
the PALs second automatic bid. But because
two teams tied, they both will play in the team
tournament.
It would be rough to give one team a com-
pletely free pass (into CCS), said PALtennis
chairman Bill Smith. To give one of those
teams a break and make the other play (in the
team tournament) doesnt take into account
how close those two teams were.
Carlmont and Hillsdale split their season
series this year. Hillsdale won the rst match
4-3, while Carlmont won by the same score
the second time around.
The tie was made ofcial after Tuesdays reg-
ular-season nales. Carlmont cruised to a 7-0
win over Half Moon Bay, while Hillsdale
pulled out a 4-3 win over Aragon which the
Knights will face again in what amounts to a
CCS play-in match today at Hillsdale.
Hillsdale coach Jackie Nachtigall is not
happy to have to face the Dons for two days in
a row, while Carlmont gets a much easier path
to CCS with the match against Mills. But that
is how the rules dictate the matches take place.
The one team who would have the biggest
gripe is Menlo-Atherton, which nished
fourth in the Bay Division.
In any other year, M-Awould be in the team
tournament, but because of the tie, the Bears
were the odd team out.
I dont like the rule, said M-Acoach Tom
Sorensen. I would say there is still one more
avenue for appealing to CCS and that at-
large.
Menlo-Atherton and Aragon both nished
with 8-6 league records, but the Dons got the
bid to the PALtournament by virtue of sweep-
ing M-Aduring the regular season.
Despite falling short, Sorensen said his
team knew the situation.
Everyone was prepared, Sorensen said.
We had our chances. We had a number of 4-3
(losses) to the teams ahead of us (in the stand-
ings).
The team tournament will be followed by
the PAL individual tournament, which begins
next week.
Four have a shot at CCS tourney
Sangha finishes fifth at CCS
San Mateos Aman Sangha, who won the
Peninsula Athletic League championship for
the second year in a row last week, shot a 1-
over 72 to nish in fth place at the Central
Coast Section championship at Rancho
Caada West in Carmel and qualify for the
Northern California tournament.
She was the only player from the PAL t o
qualify for NorCals. Aragons Kelly Fang, who
was runner up to Sangha last week, was just
two shots back, nishing with a 74, good for
a tie for seventh place. Sanghas teammate,
Lisa Sasaki, shot a 76 to tie for 14th. Sasaki
was fourth at the PALtournament last week.
Menlos Jesse Rong also shot a 76 to tie
with Sasaki and and Willow Glens Sterling
Hawkins.
PALteam champion, Aragon, nished ninth
in the team standings, shooting a 441, nish-
ing ahead of Mitty and Santa Catalina.
Palo Altos Michelle Xie won the individual
championship, nishing with a 2-under 69
and her won the team title, nishing with a
score of 391.

STANFORD The toughest test of
the year for Stanfords defense just got
a whole lot tougher.
Fifth-year senior defensive end and
co-captain Ben Gardner is out for the
season with a left pectoral injury,
handing the sixth-ranked Cardinal (7-
1, 5-1, Pac-12) a major blow before
facing No. 2 Oregon (8-0, 5-0) on
Nov. 7. Stanford coach David Shaw
said Gardner will undergo surgery to
repair the dam-
aged muscle.
Shaw said
theres a
chance that fel-
low starting
defensive end
Henry Anderson
could return
against the
Ducks but he will
make the nal decision after
Anderson practices this weekend,
which both teams have off. Anderson
has missed the last six games since he
hurt his knee in a victory against
Army on Sept. 14.
The timing of Gardners injury
could not be worse for Stanfords
defense. Oregon is averaging 632.1
yards and 55.6 points per game. Both
rank second in the nation behind
Baylor.
If were not fully manned, its
ridiculously difcult, Shaw said.
Gardner hurt his left arm in
Stanfords win over Washington on
Oct. 5. He had played through pain
saying last week that, at times, his
arm shuts down until a collision
in the third quarter of Stanfords 20-12
victory at Oregon State last Saturday
sidelined him for good. Shaw said the
injuries are unrelated.
Gardner, who made most of the
defensive line adjustments, ends his
collegiate career with 17 1/2 sacks
and 34 tackles. He is hoping to land
in the NFL, where he could be a possi-
ble late-round pick.
While this is not the way I had
imagined my college playing days
ending, all I can do is look up and
thank God for one heck of a ride,
Gardner wrote in a statement released
by the school. He also encouraged his
teammates to beat Oregon and keep
this thing rolling.
Injuries and location aside, the
matchup at Stanford Stadium next
week sets up similarly to the one in
Eugene a year ago.
Last season, the Cardinal toppled
top-ranked Oregon 17-14 in overtime
en route to a conference title and the
schools rst Rose Bowl victory in
41 years. In the rst 10 games before
that contest, the Ducks looked
unstoppable, leading the Football
Bowl Subdivision with 54.8 points
per game and never scoring fewer
than 42 points. Oregon averaged 325
yards rushing before the Cardinal held
them to 198.
Defensively, it was one of those
performances Ill never forget, line-
backer A.J. Tarpley said. The No. 1
thing was tackling. With those guys,
if one guy is out of their lane or not
doing their job, even if you are there
and you miss a tackle, they have the
elite athletes to score a touchdown
from anywhere on the eld.
The Cardinal defense has still been
dominant, at times, despite the recent
rash of injuries. In the past two weeks
alone, Stanford has shut down UCLA
(10 points) and Oregon State (12
points) in victories.
Oregon, led by Heisman Trophy
hopeful Marcus Mariota at quarter-
back, presents all kinds of other chal-
lenges notably more speed and
misdirection. If Anderson cant play,
Shaw said former tight end Luke
Kaumatule, linemen Anthony Hayes
and Aziz Shittu, and outside line-
backer Blake Lueders will be counted
on to ll the gap.
Stanford DE Gardner
out for rest of season
Ben Gardner
By Howard Ulman
BOSTON The banner hangs
from a light pole on the sidewalk
outside Fenway Park.
Its a prole of David Ortiz with
that infectious smile and the words
OCTOBER BASEBALL beneath
i t .
He is, literally, the face of the
Red Sox franchise.
This is, once again, his time of
year.
I dont think you could ever ask
for more out of an individual than
what he does on and off the eld,
Boston ace Jon Lester said. The
guys got a heart of gold.
And a bat that keeps smacking
balls past elders and over fences.
One win from his third champi-
onship in 10 years, Ortiz will take
a .733 World Series batting aver-
age into Game 6 on Wednesday
night against the St. Louis
Cardinals. Only Billy Hatcher did
better in a single series, .750 in
1990 for the Cincinnati Reds
when they swept the Oakland
Athletics.
But such
World Series
displays are
nothing new to
the only player
left from the
team that won
the Red Sox
their rst cham-
pionship in 86
years.
St. Louis saw that on Ortizs rst
at-bat of the 2004 Series when he
hit a three-run homer in Bostons
11-9 win. He batted .308 in a four-
game sweep.
The Colorado Rockies saw it in
2007 when he went 3 for 5 in a 13-
1 rout in Game 1. That time, he hit
.333 in another sweep.
Now, he enters the potential
clincher with 11 hits in 15 at-bats
in this Series. He has two homers,
two doubles, six RBIs, ve runs
and four walks.
Ortiz has one-third of Bostons
hits against St. Louis, while the
rest of the Red Sox are batting
. 151.
I was born for this, he said.
Strikeouts in this Series? None.
And the best designated hitter in
baseball even elds awlessly at
rst base.
In three games in St. Louis under
NL rules, Ortiz handled all 23
chances without an error after
playing just six games there
also without an error during the
regular season.
Indeed, its been a charmed
month for Big Papi, who has even
legged out a few ineld hits lately
albeit with the second baseman
often playing 50 feet or so out in
right eld.
Slugger. Speedster. Fielder.
Is there anything David Ortiz
cant do?
Pitch?
Hopefully, it wont get to that
point, manager John Farrell said
Tuesday.
How about making more than
one out in a game?
Ortiz hasnt done that either in a
World Series in which hes all but
locked up the MVPaward if the Red
Sox can nish off the Cardinals.
Hes a guy that you still have
the ultimate respect for because of
what hes done in the biggest situ-
ations, Boston outelder Daniel
Nava said.
Hot Papi one win from third title
David Ortiz
BOSTON Michael Wacha had a
funny way of preparing for his World
Series start thats supposed to save
the season for the St. Louis Cardinals.
The 22-year-old October ace spent
Tuesday afternoon on the tarmac at
the St. Louis airport when the team
plane got grounded by mechanical
problems.
No telling when the Cardinals
would arrive in Boston, trailing the
Red Sox 3-2 going into Game 6 on
Wednesday night.
Everyone is just watching
movies, Wacha said from the plane,
a couple of hours into the delay.
Theyve got dinner on here for us
and stuff. Everyone is just walking
around. Nobody is in a bad mood or
anything like that. The attitude is
pretty good.
His teammates were probably con-
dent, too, considering what the
rookie has done this postseason.
Hes 4-0 with a 1.00 ERA in four
starts, including a win over John
Lackey and the Red Sox in Game 2.
Lackey will again oppose the tall
right-hander.
I dont think anything will be
much different, Wacha said. I just
try to approach every game the same.
I dont think its going to be too
much different. We know the next two
games are must-wins. It all starts with
me tomorrow night.
Heady stuff for a guy who was
pitching at Texas A&M less than a
year and a half ago, a guy who began
this season in Triple-A.
Then again, look at what hes done.
He came within an out of a no-hitter
against Washington in his nal start
of the regular season, only to give up
an ineld single. With the Cardinals
facing a 2-1 decit in the best-of-ve
division series, he took a no-hit bid
into the eighth inning to win at
Pittsburgh.
He twice outpitched Cy Young
Award favorite Clayton Kershaw to
win MVP honors in the NL champi-
onship series, then beat Boston with
his family in the seats at Fenway
Park.
Cards hope to fly high with Wacha
Bulldogs. City College of San Francisco
was a tough test, no doubt about it. And
CSM passed with flying colors. The
Bulldogs overcame penalty ag after penal-
ty ag, plus a pair of key injuries in last
Saturdays 30-25 win.
The guys fought through that, Pollack
said. And I felt at times they felt like we
were playing two teams out there. And I
understand. But to feel sorry for yourself and
give less effort, and get frustrated, that isnt
going to solve the problem. Its going to
make it worse.
What solved the problem then, was a trio
of huge plays on offense and a defense that
held the Rams to almost 300 yards under
their season average. But thats over and
done with and a tougher test awaits up in
Butte.
The analogy I used is this, Pollack said.
You cant drive home tonight looking
through the rear view mirror. Youre not
going to go very far. And everybody wants
to look back at all the great things we did
well, create new great things. And you can
always live in the moment with new things.
That was my message to them. Look
through the windshield and not the rear view
mirror. Good job. Move on.
CSM might be looking to move forward,
but theres a team in Butte that can bring
that drive to a screeching halt. And just like
CCSF, the Roadrunners have not lost to the
Bulldogs since a 40-23 decision in 2009. In
three games since, Butte has beat CSM by
1, 34 and 8 points respectively.
Theyre a different animal, Pollack said.
Different animal from the personnel, dif-
ferent animal from the way they play.
Theres a ton of different things within a
defense that were looking at.
Its power against power, Pollack con-
tinued. I would fathom that were the only
two teams that run more than we pass in
Northern California. And our philosophies
are close and similar in nature on how to
play football. Theyre set up to stop the run
and run the ball. Were set up to stop the run
and run the ball.
Both teams will take to the ground often
next Saturday in Oroville. Butte comes in as
the states best rushing attack with 356 of
its 513 yards of total offense per game com-
ing via the rush. Its a daunting task for the
Bulldogs who have to basically come up
with a way to stop a team that is a mirror
image of themselves.
The Roadrunners are very efcient with
the rush and come at you in waves. They
have six players with at least 100 yards
rushing on the season. And their seventh
guy might only have 88 yards on the
ground, but hes the quarterback and he has
ve rushing touchdowns good for second
on the team. Hence, Saturdays focus cant
all go on Kendall Williams (946 yards,
seven touchdowns, 8.2 yards per carry),
because players like Robert Frazier or
Armand Bokitch can burn you.
The (running) back is always there. Its
just, they just have different guys, Pollack
said. The issue with them is multi-forma-
tions, different personnel packages. Every
offense has its form of deception. Buttes is
all its formations, personnel packaging. It
presents its challenges and problems. We
call it, Look at the birdie. Every offense
has its own Look at the birdie to slow
down the defense and make them confused.
And Buttes strength is that. They have a
good offensive line. Theyre patient.
Theyre very dedicated to their run. You aint
going to scare them out of it. Ever. And
thats how we are too. Youre going to have
to defend if for four quarters.
The Roadrunners have proven they can
defend anyones rushing attack for the full
60 minutes. They come into the game
allowing just 48.7 yards per game while
CSM is running the ball at a 271.9 yards-
per-game rate. Buttes front seven is among
the most intimidating in the state. Theyre
recorded 27 sacks, 75 tackles for loss and
their defense as a whole has 11 players with
at least 20 tackles on the season.
The key for CSM might be going to the
air. Butte has allowed 196 yards passing.
For that, quarterback Casey Wichman will
have to build on one of his best passing per-
formance of the season last Saturday against
the Rams. Twice, Wichman connected on
long touchdown passes.
Whenever you have a running game,
your quarterback better be efficient,
Pollack said. Theyre going to sell out to
stop the run and you have to make the big
plays. You either have to be efcient or
explosive. Its going to be one of the two.
Kickoff for what those in the JC football
circle are calling the Game of the Season, is
scheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday in Oroville.

Nebraskas Kenny Bell dropped a couple
passes, including one in the end zone, dur-
ing a loss to Minnesota. Like Baggett, Bell
expressed appreciation for encouraging
tweets, but he clearly was troubled by caus-
tic ones. Especially disturbing was a tweet
that played off the fact Bells dog had been
hit by a car. That person later apologized on
Twitter.
Tonight was the rst night that I have
been truly bothered by the hateful com-
ments by people, Bell wrote in back-to-
back tweets. That being said.... It takes so
much more effort to be mean an hateful than
it is to be positive an supportive. I just
dont understand it.
It would be unrealistic to cut off players
from social media though some coaches
have tried because online communica-
tion is ingrained in the culture and can be
benecial, Sanderson said. An athlete can
use Twitter to build an online identity,
which helps with networking, job searches
and promoting the team and university.
Southern California last year began list-
ing football players Twitter handles on
online biographies and in weekly game pre-
views available to fans and media.
This is how people communicate today,
especially those from the generation of our
current student-athletes. Why not embrace
it? USC spokesman Tim Tessalone wrote in
an email to The Associated Press. It also
helps our fans engage with our players and
vice versa. Sure, there will be some mis-
takes, but thats all part of the learning
process for college kids.
Tessalone said hes not aware of any USC
players having serious problems in interac-
tions with fans.
Major athletic programs typically address
social media with their athletes. Athletes
generally are told to think twice before hit-
ting the send button so they dont put out
something that embarrasses themselves,
the team and the university. At Nebraska,
athletes are urged to not lash out at people
who criticize them, but there is no policy
on what they should do if they are inundated
with negativity.
It might be something we need to get
into based on things that have transpired,
said Keith Zimmer, Nebraskas associate
athletic director for life skills.

TWEETS
BULLDOGS
With Woodside trailing 20-19 in Game 3,
Alftin scored back-to-back kills to seesaw the
advantage in the Wildcatsfavor. With the score
deadlocked at 20-20, Walsh delegated as
Woodside set a midcourt chance for Alftin. And
as the dynamic hitter approached for a pipe
shot, Walsh spurred her teammate with a spirit-
ed cry of: Get up!
The rally cry seemed to reverberate through
the rest of the match. Woodsides front row of
Larkin, Heilani Hoeft, and Haili Hoeft com-
manded the net through Game 4. Then, to start
Game 5, Walsh ripped consecutive kills to give
the Wildcats an early lead which they would not
relinquish.
We put a lot of pressure on ourselves and we
knew a lot was riding on this game, Walsh
said. After the second set, we just put it all
together and Christine stepped up, and we were
able to come back.
Looking forward, Woodside now holds its
fate in its own hands. With three more games
remaining in league, however, the Wildcats still
have some tough customers to face, including a
matchup with Burlingame on Thursday, and
next Thursdays season-nale against Menlo-
Atherton.
If we can maintain our momentum into
Burlingame and win there, it doesnt matter how
we do against M-A, because we can still lose (to
them) and be co-league champions, Mashima
said.
Despite the loss, Carlmont fronted a well-bal-
anced attack, with 22 kills from senior Ella
McDonough. Sophomore blocker Alexis
Morrow tabbed ve blocks, and senior Bailee
Roces scored 11 service points in Game 2,
including three aces.
Carlmont is now in a second-place tie in the
Bay Division with its next opponent, Menlo-
Atherton.
It was a tough loss, McDonough said. But
were just going to use it as a lesson, and come
back Thursday against Menlo-Atherton.

NATION
By Martin Crutsinger
WASHINGTON Alot can change in six
weeks.
When the Federal Reserve last met in mid-
September, almost everyone expected it to
start reducing the stimulus its given the
U.S. economy to help it rebound from the
Great Recession.
It didnt. The Fed pulled a surprise by
deciding not to slow its $85 billion-a-
month in Treasury and mortgage bond pur-
chases. Its bond buying has been intended
to keep long-term loan rates low to support
the economy.
And now? After a 16-day partial govern-
ment shutdown and a batch of tepid eco-
nomic data, no one thinks the Fed will
reduce its stimulus when it meets Tuesday
and Wednesday. Many analysts now predict
the Fed will maintain the pace of its bond
purchases into next year.
Blame the uncertainty surrounding
Congress budget ght and renewed ques-
tions about the economys health.
I think March is now the earliest that
any reduction in bond purchases will hap-
pen, said Diane Swonk, chief economist at
Mesirow Financial.
By then, Fed members expect to have
seen several months of stronger job
growth. They also expect Congress to have
resolved its budget impasse.
If the Fed does start slowing its stimulus
in March, it will have left its policy
unchanged not just this week but also at its
next meeting in December and at its subse-
quent meeting in late January. The delay
would signal a dimmer economic outlook.
The January meeting will be the last for
Chairman Ben Bernanke, who is stepping
down after eight years. President Barack
Obama has chosen Vice Chair Janet Yellen
to succeed Bernanke.
Assuming that Yellen is conrmed by the
Senate, her rst meeting as chairman will be
in March. Many economists think no major
policy changes will occur before a new
chairman takes over.
Dimmer view of economy makes Fed pullback unlikely
By Christopher S. Rugaber
WASHINGTON A hazy picture of the
U.S. economy has emerged from the most
recent snapshots of retail sales, housing,
manufacturing, the job market and the con-
dence of consumers.
The gures reect higher borrowing costs,
slower hiring and rising uncertainty just
before much of the government shut down
Oct. 1 all trends that the Federal Reserve
is trying to assess at a policy meeting this
week.
Taken together, they portray an economy
that was stumbling even before the shut-
down, which further slowed growth.
Still, many Americans have managed to
keep up their purchases in recent weeks.
Their spending has raised hopes that if
Congress can reach a long-term budget
agreement in coming months, economic
growth will pick up.
One of the things thats really holding
back the economy is this fog of uncertain-
t y, said Mark Vitner, an economist at Wells
Fargo.
One major factor behind the uncertainty:
Congress and the White House agreed on
Oct. 16 to reopen the government but
only until Jan. 15, when a new deal must be
reached. That raises the threat of another
shutdown.
Nor is it clear when the Fed will begin to
pull back on its stimulus for the economy.
And the sloppy rollout of the Obama admin-
istrations health care program has added to
the reluctance of many small businesses to
hire, Vitner said.
All this has made the Feds task of evaluat-
ing the economy even harder than usual. The
Fed is considering when to slow its $85 bil-
lion in monthly bond purchases. Those pur-
chases are intended to keep borrowing rates
low to spur growth. Chairman Ben Bernanke
has noted that the Feds policy decisions are
data dependent.
Yet most of the economic data that will be
released in coming weeks will be distorted
by the government shutdown. For example,
the October jobs report, due Nov. 8, may
show a rise in the unemployment rate only
because of the temporary layoff of govern-
ment workers and contractors.
This is a very difcult time for the Fed,
Vitner says. The data is not all that clear,
and there are a lot of structural shifts in the
economy.
Those shifts include an aging workforce,
which means more older workers are retiring
and dropping out of the work force. Their
exodus has articially lowered the unem-
ployment rate, making that key gauge of the
economy less reliable.

The Peruvian government believes it has a
diplomatic solution to a spirited problem.
The problem? Not enough Americans are
familiar with pisco, a Peruvian liquor that
has been riding a popular wave of trendy
South American cuisines to become an up-
and-comer on the cocktail scene. The solu-
tion? Appoint 10 U.S. bartenders to serve as
ofcial pisco ambassadors for the grape
brandy.
Crazy, right? says Todd Thrasher, of
Restaurant Eve, PX Bar and TNT Bar in
Alexandria, Va., and one of the 10 pisco
plenipotentiaries. When I started my job,
my parents were like, What? Youre going
to be a bartender? Then all of a sudden
youre a Peruvian pisco ambassador.
Admittedly, a total promotional stunt. But
perhaps a clever one. In the spirit world, it
isnt easy being the new kid in town. And
its not enough to be cool. To catch on, you
also have to be tasted. And what better way
to make that happen than to teach the folks
who shake your drink?
Once obscure and still so in much of the
country pisco is showing up in a growing
number of bars and liquor stores. It is made
in Peru and Chile, and both countries claim
Pisco: Liquor hot enough
to have ambassadors?
See PISCO, Page 20
Pisco has gone from little-known to a spirit that most serious bars carry at least one brand of,
and maybe two or three.

pisco as their national spirit, spurring intense
debate on who had it rst.
Either way, its clean taste and faintly fruity
aroma makes pisco an easy partner for the
sorts of citrusy cocktails Americans love.
Pisco is a grape spirit that has not been aged
in wood, leaving it clear.
The new world of pisco goes well beyond
the classic pisco sour and pisco punch cock-
tails. At the PISCO Latin Lounge in San
Francisco, which opened ve years ago and is
believed to be the rst modern U.S. bar devot-
ed to pisco, guests get an authentic version of
pisco punch, which was invented in 1880s
San Francisco. But folks also can try ights of
pisco intended to demonstrate the nuances the
spirit can have depending on the grapes used
to make it.
PISCO owner James Schenk has watched as
pisco has gone from little-known to a spirit
that most serious bars carry at least one brand
of, and maybe two or three. Meanwhile, pisco
has been featured at major events, including a
headliner event at last years South Beach
Wine & Food Festival.
The great thing about it is that ve years
ago, no one had pisco, says Schenk. Now,
theres an insurgence of people beginning to
really introduce and explain to all these bars
and restaurants you can have one, you can
have two or three.
In Peru, the government has imposed sever-
al strict production standards, including a pro-
hibition on adding anything to the distilled
spirit, not even water, as well as mandating
that the spirit rest for three months in a neutral
container never a wooden barrel.
Ofcials also are working on promoting
Peruvian pisco after all, there is a rivalry
going on hence the bartender ambassa-
dors. Those U.S. mixologists got a trip to
Peru to learn more about pisco and come up
with cocktail recipes.

police needs, Lloyd said.
The relatively quiet engine allows ofcers
to communicate more effectively when rid-
ing alongside one another. The SMPDs
Zero will start out on the narrow but level
downtown streets; however, it has been said
to perform well on rougher terrains, said San
Mateo police Sgt. Dave Norris.
Highly reliable and nimble, and operat-
ing at truly minimal fuel costs, the Zero
motorcycle offers our ofcers a hybrid per-
formance option that is equally comfortable
on San Mateos roadways as it is winding
through tough-to-navigate terrain in both
urban and rural environments, Norris said.
The bikes are meant for cities like San
Mateo or San Francisco where maneuver-
ability is critical, Lloyd said.
What police look for in any type of vehi-
cle they use, but especially for motorcycles,
it has to be able to perform in very tight and
conned areas. It needs to be able to operate
at slow speeds but at the same time be able
to get up to very high speeds, Lloyd said.
The police kit model motorcycles range
from about $17,000-20,000. Annual fuel
costs are cut down between 80-90 percent
and maintenance costs are cut down between
75-95 percent, Lloyd said.
Its a high-tech vehicle thats simple to
maintain, and thats what police depart-
ments really want, Lloyd said.
The company is in the midst of an eight-
week evaluation phase with the Los Angles
Police Department to continue to develop
identify uses for the bikes and law enforce-
ment agencies across the world have begun
to use Zero motorcycles as a reliable alter-
native to traditional motorcycles, Lloyd
said.
Everybodys watching operating costs
and thats a big thing when it comes to
cities and city management. Zero motorcy-
cles greatly reduce the burden of fuel, main-
tenance and all types of operating costs,
Lloyd said.
San Mateo police ofcers have already
given the electric motorcycle praise saying
its just, if not more, responsive than a tra-
ditional motorcycle, Norris said.
The San Mateo Zero will be on the streets
soon, but itll be easier to see than it will be
to hear.

San Francisco main library. It has legs of
its own.
Alisa Clancy, from the radio show
Morning Cup of Jazz on KCSM, will be the
MC for the trivia challenge. Also in atten-
dance will be ZAP Think Tank, the group
that won the trivia challenge last year.
The room is full of kindred spirit, and its
fun when you dont know the answer but one
of your teammates does, said Kathryn
Verwillow, one of the winning contestants
of ZAP Think Tank.
The teams name came from the dorm the
three of them lived in during college. Some
of the questions Verwillow recalls her team
answering correctly that the other teams got
wrong include What corporation owns
Sees Candies? and What is the slang word
for a British garbage collector? For the
curious, the answers are Berkshire Hathaway
and dustman, respectively.
Cordova Verwillow jokingly credits her
knack for knowing random trivia questions
to a misspent youth and just paying atten-
tion daily.
ZAP Think Tank will be attempting to
defend its title Friday.
Through entry fees and corporate spon-
sors, the South San Francisco trivia chal-
lenge is projected to make $20,000, all of
which will go to the lit service programs at
the library, said Holly Fulghum-Nutters, the
program manager for Project Read.
The challenge takes place at the South San
Francisco Conference Center. Doors open at
5:30 p.m. and the event starts at seven. The
trivia challenge lasts for about an hour and a
half. The event is open to the public, at $30
a person. The last day to enter a team in the
competition is Wednesday, Oct. 30 (the cost
is $400 per team of three). This entry fee
includes a dinner and goes to supporting
library literary services such as Project
Read. For more information email Holly

Study: Gold star nutrition ratings appear to work
PORTLAND, Maine A nutritional rating system using
gold stars afxed to price labels on grocery store shelves
appears to have shifted buying habits, potentially provid-
ing another tool to educate consumers on how to eat health-
ier, according to a new study.
The independent study examining a proprietary gold star
system used in Maine-based Hannaford Supermarkets sug-
gested it steered shoppers away from items with no stars
toward healthier foods that merited gold stars.
Our results suggest that point-of-sale nutrition informa-
tion programs may be effective in providing easy-to-nd
nutrition information that is otherwise nonexistent, difcult
to obtain or difcult to understand, the researchers wrote in
the study, published last week in the journal Food Policy.
Its the most rigorous scientic study focusing on Guiding
Stars, which was instituted in 2006 in Hannaford stores and
is now licensed for use in more than 1,800 stores in the U.S.
and Canada.
Researchers from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the
Food and Drug Administration and the University of Florida
focused on the cereal aisle, where it can be challenging to
make healthy choices amid conicting health claims and a
multitude of sugary offerings targeting children.
Starbucks unveils tea bar in New York City
NEW YORK Starbucks is opening a new cafe in New
York City, and it wont serve any coffee.
The Seattle-based company on Thursday plans to open its
rst Teavana tea bar, where people can order specialty
drinks and small dishes in a trendy, cafe-like setting. The
sweets, atbreads, salads and other food range in price from
about $3 to $15. Drinks range in price from $3 to $6, and
include novelties such as carbonated teas.
The menu of food and freshly made drinks is a change for
Teavana, a chain of about 300 shops that sell boxed and
loose tea and accessories. Teavana stores are mainly in shop-
ping malls, but Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz said he plans
to expand the footprint to include more locations in urban
areas. Already, it has opened traditional Teavana shops in
New York City.
By Sara Moulton
This dish is my idea of a one-size-
ts-all appetizer for the looming holi-
days, whether were talking about
Hanukkah, Thanksgiving or
Christmas.
Its particularly apt for Hanukkah
because the eggplant is fried in oil
and oil is one of the holidays cen-
tral symbols. The good news is that
the eggplant is pan-fried not deep-
fried and vegetarian, so its still rea-
sonably healthy. Heck, if you built a
bigger version, you could even turn it
into a vegetarian entree.
Buying fresh eggplants is key.
Whatever its size and they range
from thin Asian strains to big and bul-
bous Italian-Americans an eggplant
should have a very shiny skin and be
rm and smooth to the touch. Also, its
best to cook it as soon as possible
after you buy it. Eggplants dont like
the refrigerator; they tend to deterio-
rate quickly in the cold.
I did salt my eggplant here, but more
for avor than any other reason. I de-
nitely didnt want to extend the prep
time by salting and letting it sit for
hours; were already spending a lot of
time in the kitchen cooking for the
holidays. I chose small eggplants for
this recipe, mainly because I wanted
one-bite tastes, but also because the
skin on the smaller eggplants usually
is more tender. But if all you can nd is
the larger guys, just slice them into
rounds, then cut the rounds into quar-
ters.
The eggplants blandness makes it a
terric host for spices. I went Middle
Eastern here, with cumin, smoked
paprika and cayenne. But youre wel-
come to roll instead with a curry or
Cajun mix, or with chopped dried
herbs. However you spice it, the
recipes yogurt-cucumber sauce, which
consists of exactly three ingredients
and requires only 5 minutes to prep,
provides a lovely cooling counter-
point.
One note about the breading proce-
dure: its important to knock off the
excess our, let the excess egg mixture
drip off, and to tap off the extra bread-
crumbs. If you dont, youll end up
with an over-breaded slice of eggplant
and too few crumbs. Breading the egg-
plant keeps it from absorbing too
much oil. The end result is wonderfully
creamy. My husband, no fan of egg-
plant, scarfed up these tasty little bites
with no complaint.
FRIED SPICED EGGPLANT
WITH CUCUMBER-GARLIC SAUCE
No small eggplants at the grocer?
About 1/2 pound of a larger one can be
substituted, but youll need to cut it dif-
ferently. Start by cutting the larger
eggplant into 1/3-inch-thick slices, as
directed. Then cut each slice into quar-
ters. Proceed as directed in the recipe.
Start to nish: 40 minutes (20 min-
utes active)
Servings: 6
1 small eggplant (1/2 pound and
about 2 inches wide), cut crosswise
into 1/3-inch-thick slices
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons all-purpose our
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne (to
taste)
1 large egg
1 tablespoon water
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive
oil, divided
2-inch piece seedless cucumber
1/2 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt
1 small clove garlic, minced
Chopped fresh parsley, to garnish
Heat the oven to 350 F. Sprinkle the
eggplant slices lightly on both sides
with salt. Transfer to a large colander,
then set in the sink and let drain for 15
minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl com-
bine the flour, cumin, paprika and
cayenne. In a second bowl, whisk the
egg and water. In a third bowl, place
the breadcrumbs.
Pat the eggplant slices dry. One at a
time, dip each slice rst in the our,
shaking off the excess, then the egg,
letting the excess liquid drip off, then
the breadcrumbs, knocking off the
excess crumbs (they will clump).
In a large skillet over high, heat 1
1/2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the
eggplant slices, reduce the heat to
medium and cook until golden, about 2
minutes. Flip the slices, add the
remaining tablespoon of olive oil and
cook until golden on the second side,
about 2 minutes. Transfer the slices to
a sheet pan. Bake on the ovens middle
shelf until the slices are tender (a knife
will go through them easily), about 15
minutes.
While the eggplant is baking, grate
the cucumber on the coarse side of a
grater. In a small bowl, combine the
grated cucumber with the yogurt, garlic
and a bit of salt.
To serve, transfer the eggplant slices
to a platter and top each with a gener-
ous spoonful of the yogurt sauce.
Sprinkle with parsley.

commission to take over the 2925 S.
El Camino Real earlier this year.
Michaels application included
repainting the exterior of the building,
installing a new sign and other interi-
or improvements, according to staff
reports. The Zoning Administrator
denied Michaels request in April,
prompting it to appeal to the Planning
Commission. It was denied during a
Sept. 10 hearing.
The denial was based on the citys
Rail Corridor Transit Oriented
Development Plan that was enacted in
2005. It was adopted to allow, encour-
age and provide guidance for the cre-
ation of transit-oriented development
within a half-mile radius of the
Hillsdale and Hayward Park Caltrain
station, said Art Henriques, contract
project planner for the city. The TOD is
also supportive of pedestrians and
bicyclists, Henrique said.
Youre encouraging higher density
of mixed uses and ability for people to
more easily utilize transit, Henriques
said.
The zoning classication is meant
to encourage more residential or ofce
buildings in the area so people will
have easy access to public transit;
consequentially cutting down on car
trips and reducing vehicle emissions,
Henrique said.
Based on the TOD, retail businesses
in the area are limited to 15,000 square
feet; however, grocery and drug stores
are exempt. The El Camino Real site is
approximately 25,000 square feet and
Michaels current location is about
30,000 square feet.
The city changed the zoning rules in
the east area around the Hillsdale
Caltrain station, including the 2925 El
Camino building, in May 2011. After
Borders left, the property owner need-
ed to maintain it as a retail space with-
out a six-month gap for a new store to
grandfather in under the non-conform-
ing allowance.
The seasonal business Spirit
Halloween Superstores and Gator Bob
were denied applications for tax certi-
cates and are also appealing to operate
at the El Camino Real site. But any
large-scale retail store would not be
consistent with the TOD ordinance,
Henrique said.
Spirit Halloween Superstore had
occupied the building until Nov. 22,
2011, and returned around June 4,
2012, according to staff reports. Part
of the petitioners appeal requested the
Planning Commission nd the proper-
ty continued to be used as retail store
after Borders left. The city granted
Spirit Halloween Superstore a tempo-
rary tax certicate for it to stay in busi-
ness at the location while the petition
is still under appeal, Henrique said.
San Mateo wants Michaels to main-
tain a retail store in San Mateo, but the
site it applied for is not consistent
with the intentions of the TOD,
Henrique said. With state regulations
requiring cities to cut down on pollu-
tion by 2020, the city is thinking
about the necessity of long-term eco-
friendly policies, Henriques said.

APPEAL
The couples tragedy began Oct. 28,
2012, when Rina Ariazza felt little
movement by the baby and, in an
appointment the next day, a doctor
conrmed the absence of a heartbeat.
Estefani Belen Arriaza was stillborn
that night. After the couple spent a
half hour with their baby, a female
nurse took her from the operating
room and the couple went to a hospital
room where the following day they
made burial arrangements at Cypress
Lawn and discharged.
On Nov. 1, 2012, Schuessler, a nun
and a social worker went to Rina
Arriazas home to explain that the hos-
pital had lost Estefanis body when
housekeeping took the wrapped body
away with other linen and placed it in
the laundry. The body was then
shipped with the laundry to a vendor in
Santa Cruz where workers discovered it
on the conveyor belt.
During the conversation, Schuessler
assured the couple the hospital would
take action to prevent similar future
errors and said that the babys body
was still in acceptable shape for the
scheduled funeral.
However, according to the suit, dur-
ing the Nov. 2, 2012, funeral service
Julio Arriaza touched his daughter one
last time before the casket was closed
and was shocked when her sleeve
moved revealing transparent cello-
phane wrapped around her arm. The
family, given no explanation for the
wrap, asked to see the full body and
found it appearing bloated, swollen
and mutilated, unlike the description
given. Three days later, the social
worker told the couple Schuessler
issued the check. The couple did not
accept the money, Crespo said.
The couple are seeking damages for
emotional distress and negligence
along with legal costs.
They are still devastated, Crespo
said.
A case management conference is
scheduled for Feb. 20, 2014.

$3.72 million, the report stated. The
new funding formula will send $2.1
billion more to school districts that
have high numbers of students from
lower-income families, who have lim-
ited English prociency or are foster
children. During the rst year, the for-
mula gives school districts more con-
trol over state aid by eliminating ear-
marks for state-mandated programs,
except for special education funding.
There is still uncertainty in the district
about how its budget will be affected
by the changes.
The proposal was discussed at a
school board study session Monday.
Members of the public who attended
the meeting gave positive feedback
and the district absolutely needs the
funding, Barbaro said. Right now, the
district is in the process of trying to
get community input to see if parents
and the general community would sup-
port it.
Other trustees would like to see a par-
cel tax pass soon, including Trustee
Denis Fama, who believes a parcel tax
is really important to help bolster the
districts programs.
The next step is get out more com-
munications to the community in gen-
eral, Fama said. Funding from the
state has been somewhat sporadic and
we would be able to, in the short term,
sustain programs and reward teachers
when we have a good cash ow. We
will have to be very specic of its use
though.
The last parcel tax went to Millbrae
voters in June 2008 and didnt pass.
The district would have received
$400,000 to $492,000 from the $78-
per-parcel tax to go toward reinstating
music, library, instructional and tech-
nology aides and custodians in the
school, along with protecting teachers
from layoffs and maintaining pro-
grams. A two-thirds majority vote,
66.66 percent, is needed for this type
of measure to pass and 66.29 percent
of voters said yes in 2008, while
33.71 percent voted no.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
WILLIE F. ROBERSON
Case Number: 123840
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Willie F. Roberson. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by
Varee Wycoff, CLPF in the Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo.
The Petition for Probate requests that
Varee Wycoff, CLPF be appointed as
personal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent.
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: November 27, 2013
at 9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal qutho-
ity may affect your rights as a creditor.
You may want to consult with an attorney
knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

testimony at a preliminary hearing and are
expected to present expert witnesses in
domestic violence issues.
Harris has pleaded not guilty to all
charges in the Aug. 12, 2012, incident in
which prosecutors say Harris left his former
partner with broken orbital bones and a
metal plate in his head. Defense attorney
Alin Cintean previously said that Geier
threw the rst punch and his client was
charged because of who got injured in the
altercation.
The encounter between the men, who were
no longer dating, began at Su Hong restau-
rant when Harris allegedly grew upset that
Geier poured soy sauce on a place of rice.
The men argued for seven minutes and Harris
said he would no longer take Geier to the air-
port as planned, according to the civil suit.
As the men left to remove Geiers belong-
ings from Harris car so that he could instead
take a cab, Harris tried pulling the other
mans pants down and accused him of steal-
ing his underwear, according to the suit.
Geier unsuccessfully tried pushing Harris
away but the bigger man shook him vio-
lently and punched him in the arms, the suit
stated.
Geier allegedly hit Harris three times in
the face but Harris seemed only to grow
more agitated and punched him in the face
several times until he fell, the suit stated.
Harris is free from custody on $75,000
bail.

Wet roads lead to Belmont crashes
Light morning rain and slick roads led to a
pair of crashes on Ralston Avenue in
Belmont Tuesday, a police spokesman said.
The rst accident occurred just east of
Hiller Street at 7:55 a.m., when a Volvo sta-
tion wagon lost traction on the wet road and
crashed into trees on the south side of
Ralston Avenue, Belmont police Capt. Pat
Halleran said.
The driver was not injured, and a portion
of the roadway was closed for about 20 min-
utes while the vehicle was towed.
A chain-reaction crash involving four
vehicles then occurred just west of Hallmark
Drive at 8 a.m., when Lexus rear-ended a
Ford sedan and caused two more vehicles to
move forward and hit the cars in front of
them, Halleran said.
No one was seriously injured, he said. The
driver of one of the cars complained of neck
pain but refused medical attention, he said.
Belmont police are reminding residents
that driving conditions are changing with
the arrival of cold, wet weather, and recom-
mended that drivers check their windshield
wipers and headlights to make sure theyre
in good condition.
Also, drivers should slow down and allow
more braking distance when roads are slick,
police said.
Steve Jobs home
gets historic designation
The Silicon Valley home where Apple co-
founder Steve Jobs grew up and built some
of his rst computers is now on the citys
list of historic properties.
The historical commission in the city of
Los Altos voted unanimously for the his-
toric designation on Monday night. Any
proposed renovations to the modest, ranch-
style home now require additional review.
The home, where Jobs and his foster par-
ents moved in 1968, is currently owned by
Patricia Jobs, Steve Jobs sister. The com-
mission didnt need her permission for the
designation, although she could appeal it to
the city council.

BEIJING Chinese police are circulating
a list of eight suspects wanted in connection
with an apparent suicide car crash near
Tiananmen Square in Beijing that killed ve
people and injured dozens, a hotel manager
said Wednesday.
Seven of the eight suspects on the list
had names typical of the Turkic Muslim
Uighur ethnic group native to the restive
northwestern region of Xinjiang, said the
manager, who gave only her surname, Wu.
She said the other individual appeared to
be ethnically Chinese.
Wu, who runs the guesthouse attached to
the Beijing liaison office of Xinjiangs
Karamay city, declined to give other details.
Employees at a dozen other Beijing hotels
refused to discuss the order in a likely sign
that police have banned talk of their inves-
tigation into the attack Monday in the capi-
tals political heart, where Chinas commu-
nist leaders live and work.
Chinese media reports Wednesday made
no mention of the investigation, although
several reported on the condition of those
injured, who included three Filipino citizens
and one Japanese man.

DAMASCUS, Syria The U.N. conrmed
an outbreak of polio in Syria for the rst time
in over a decade on Tuesday, warning the dis-
ease threatens to spread among an estimated
half-million children who have never been
immunized because of the civil war.
The grim nding added another layer of
misery to a brutal conict that has already
killed more than 100,000 people and uproot-
ed millions. The aid group Save the Children
urged a vaccination cease-re to try to pre-
vent an epidemic of the highly contagious
disease.
Meanwhile, hopes for a negotiated settle-
ment to the three-year conict appeared ever
more distant as Syrias President Bashar
Assad sacked a deputy prime minister for
meeting Western ofcials to discuss the pos-
sibility of holding a peace conference the
latest blow to diplomatic efforts to bring the
countrys warring parties to the negotiating
table.
At least 10 cases of polio among babies and
toddlers were conrmed in northeastern Syria,
the World Health Organization said the
rst outbreak of the crippling disease in 14
years. Nearly all Syrian children were vacci-
nated against polio before the civil war
began.
WHO spokesman Oliver Rosenbauer said
the U.N. agency was awaiting lab results on
another 12 suspected cases, mostly children
under 2.
This is a communicable disease. With
population movements it can travel to other
areas, Rosenbauer said. So the risk is high
of spread across the region.
Regionally, neighboring Lebanon and
Jordan are likely to be at particular risk
because the two countries have absorbed the
bulk of Syrian refugees eeing war-torn areas,
where its more likely that children havent
been vaccinated. The poorest refugees often
crowd, several families together, into apart-
ments and dilapidated shacks.
The polio virus usually infects children in
unsanitary conditions through consuming
food or drink contaminated with feces. It
attacks the nerves and can kill or paralyze,
spreading widely and unnoticed before it
starts crippling children.
In an interview with the Associated Press in
Damascus, UNICEF Executive Director
Anthony Lake said his organization and WHO
planned to immunize 2.4 million children
throughout Syria. He said he had begun dis-
cussions with senior Syrian ofcials to
access war zones, but hadnt started negotiat-
ing with rebels.
Vaccinations and immunizations have
absolutely no political content. They have
no relationship to any military issues and
therefore there is every reason ... (to) believe
we will gain access into these communities,
he said.
Syria said it had launched a vaccination
campaign around the country days after the
Geneva-based WHO said it had received
reports of children showing symptoms of
polio in Syrias Deir el-Zour province. But
the campaign faces difculty with lack of
access.
Save the Children urged a vaccination
cease-re in Syria to prevent the current
polio outbreak from turning into an epidem-
ic.

Woman on Concordia
bridge: I was captains lover
GROSSETO, Italy A Moldovan dancer
who had been on the bridge of the Costa
Concordia cruise ship when it crashed into a
reef off Italy electrified the captains
manslaughter trial Tuesday by testifying
reluctantly that the two were lovers.
Domnica Cemortan, 26, only made the
admission after being warned by the judge
that she risked criminal charges if she didnt
answer the question.
The ships former captain, Francesco
Schettino, is the sole defendant on trial in
the Tuscan town of Grosseto. He is charged
with manslaughter for the 32 people who
died in the crash, with causing the shipwreck
on the night of Jan. 13, 2012, and with aban-
doning ship while many passengers and crew
were still aboard. He risks 20 years in jail if
convicted.
Earlier in the day, ship mantre dAntonello
Tievoli testied that 10 days before the
crash, he had asked Schettino for a favor:
Would the captain sail close to the island of
Giglio during the Mediterranean cruise
because the crewmans family lived there?
Israel releases
26 Palestinian prisoners
JERUSALEM A spokeswoman for
Israels prison service says Israel has freed
26 Palestinian prisoners.
The prisoner release is the second of four
rounds, part of a deal that set in motion the
current Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.
Spokeswoman Sivan Weizman said 21
prisoners were released to the West Bank and
ve to Gaza early Wednesday.
Boisterous celebrations kicked off in the
Palestinian territories as the prisoners were
released. Many in Israel oppose the move
and view the men as terrorists who have com-
mitted grisly crimes against Israelis.
Atotal of 104 convicts are expected to be
released over the coming months as part of
the U.S.-brokered deal.
