The Foster City foster mom who
escaped prosecution for allegedly
burning her 20-month-old ward with
bleach-soaked diapers after a judge
dismissed the case has been indicted
by a criminal grand jury for child
cruelty.
The jury on Thursday returned the
indictment against Patricia Ann
Moore, 67, and she was arrested last
Friday night. She posted $50,000
bail and will appear in court Nov. 13
on felony charges of child endanger-
ment and iniction of harm on a
child.
Moore was originally arrested in
August 2010 after hospital staff
tending to the toddler alerted
authorities that the child had rst-
and second-degree burns on her but-
tocks.
According to
p r o s e c u t o r s ,
Moore later told
authorities she
used bleach-
soaked diapers
to clean the child
who soiled her-
self quite often.
After Moores
adult daughter
brought the girl to the South San
Francisco Kaiser Medical Center for
care, doctors allegedly noted the
burns were in a wafe pattern like
that of diaper fabric. Moore alleged-
ly also could not explain why, if the
girl had been bathed, she didnt have
burns on other parts of her body that
would have been submerged, such
as her legs.

Pacic Gas & Electric will soon learn how
much it will be ned by a utility watchdog for
its part in the deaths of eight people and the
destruction of 37 homes by re in San Bruno
in 2010 when one of its gas transmission lines
burst.
But whether the process will continue on in
public or be held instead in private has yet to
be determined as a judge delayed a decision
on the matter yesterday.
Evidentiary hearings conducted by the
California Public Utilities Commission with
PG&E are currently being held in public but a
request was made Friday to carry on negotia-
tions privately to determine an appropriate
ne and other actions against the utility giant.
The CPUCs Consumer Protection and
Safety Division made the motion request late
Friday afternoon to negotiate privately with
PG&E rather than continue to take testimony
from witnesses in the evidentiary hearings.
Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo,
along with San Bruno Mayor Jim Ruane said
yesterday that suspending the hearings for pri-
vate negotiations with PG&E will take the
public out of the process as a settlement would
then be reached behind closed doors.
The evidentiary hearings have been taking
place for about two weeks now.
Saturday morning, Administrative Law
Judge Mark S. Wetzell ruled that he will dis-
cuss the motion for suspension with lawyers
in the case Monday.
Wetzell is now expected to
rule on the motion next
week.
But Hill is calling for the
judge to reject the motion
as it destroys the trans-
parency that the CPUC
has promised and under-
mines the credibility of the
utility watchdog.
Hill said there may be some witness testi-
mony that neither the CPUC nor PG&E want
to be made public. Since the blast, Hill has not
only been after PG&E to be more accountable
to the public, but the CPUC as well.
A PG&E ofcial said yesterday, however,
that all witness testimony was submitted prior
to the hearings and is available online.
The request made by the CPSD Friday said
conducting evidentiary hearings is impeding
the ability for the parties to engage fully in
such negotiations.
In the request to the judge, the CPSD writes
the requested suspension of all procedural
dates and activities will provide time and
space in the participants schedules to allow
negotiations to proceed unimpeded with the
distraction of ongoing litigation.
PG&E supports private negotiations toward
a settlement, said spokeswoman Brittany
Chord.
We want to continue our efforts to com-
municate and rebuild trust with our regula-
tors, elected officials and our customers,
Chord said yesterday.
Last year, the CPUC threatened PG&E with
a $1 million a day penalty for not providing
key documents about the safety of its trans-
mission pipelines.
The utility did not comply with the order,
however, for about 300 days after a deadline
was given, Hill said.
The CPUC did not ne PG&E $300 million
as it threatened to do but rather dropped the
ne to $3 million, Hill said.
Hill is suspicious that the CPUC will let
PG&E off the hook again.
PG&E has already booked about $200 mil-
lion toward nes related to the San Bruno
tragedy but an independent analyst deter-
mined the utility has the ability to pay up to
$2.2 billion in nes related to the incident,
Hill said.
The CPUCs proposal is suspect since a
decision was scheduled to be released this
week showing for the rst time how much
customers would have to pay to upgrade
PG&Es neglected gas pipeline system,
according to Hills ofce. Pipeline testing and
replacement will cost nearly $5 billion and
PG&E wants ratepayers to pick up the tab for
85 percent of the cost, although Hills ofce
contends ratepayers will have to pay more like
95 percent of the cost.
The Division of Ratepayer Advocates, the
Utility Reform Network, the city and county
of San Francisco and the city of San Bruno are
currently part of the evidentiary hearings and
want the hearings to continue in public.
Judge weighs whether PG&E
hearings are public or private

Girl killed in church parking lot identified
A 6-year-old girl who was killed Saturday morning in a
Daly City church parking lot has been identied by the San
Francisco medical examiners ofce as Danielle Naval.
Danielle, who lived in Daly City, was hit along with two
other pedestrians by a woman driving a 2007 Toyota minivan
in the parking lot of St. Andrew Catholic Church at 1571
Southgate Ave. at about 9 a.m., Daly City police Sgt. Michael
Barton said.
All three pedestrians were treated at the scene then trans-
ported to San Francisco General Hospital with life-threatening
injuries, Barton said.
Danielle died at the hospital, the sergeant said. The other
two people injured in the crash were still at the hospital
Monday but are expected to survive, he said.
The driver, a Daly City woman in her mid 40s, cooperated
with police at the scene and has not been arrested, he said.
The accident remains under investigation.
Residential burglary suspect arrested
An East Palo Alto man is in custody in connection with two
residential burglaries that took place in late September in
Redwood City, according to police.
The man, Jose Silva, 18, was arrested Oct. 5 at Sequoia
Station in downtown Redwood City without incident after a
search warrant was served at his home in East Palo Alto,
according to police. The search warrant allowed detectives to
recover stolen property from both residences including a hand-
gun, computers and electronic equipment, according to police.
Two residences on the 1100 block of Cedarwood Way were
burglarized Sept. 25 at about 11 a.m. and one residence had a
security camera that captured an image of the suspect, accord-
ing to police.

Around the state
By Jason Dearen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO State air pol-
lution regulators said Monday that
Californias air quality is not expected
to worsen appreciably after the gover-
nor ordered the release of a dirtier
blend of gasoline to help slash record-
high pump prices.
The California Air Resources Board
issued a regulatory advisory a day ear-
lier after Gov. Jerry Brown ordered
them to allow so-called winter-blend
gasoline to be sold in California earlier
than usual to increase supply.
AAA said the average price for a gal-
lon of regular gasoline in California hit
$4.668 Monday the highest price in
the nation and an all-time high for the
Golden State. Analysts said the spike
has been driven by refinery disruptions
and corrosion issues in an important
pipeline.
This action is necessary to
address the extreme and unusual fuel
supply circumstance, said the
boards advisory allowing the use of
the more polluting fuel. (It) is nec-
essary for the immediate preserva-
tion of the public peace, health and
safety or general welfare.
California usually converts to the gas
on Oct. 31. The fuel evaporates in heat
more quickly than summer-blends, so
sends more pollutants into the environ-
ment, especially in warm weather.
Gil Duran, a spokesman for Brown,
said the governor looked at all the
options available, particularly scien-
tists prediction that such a change
would not have a significant effect on
the environment and when he learned
this could increase the supply by 8 to 10
percent, it just made sense.

The countys community college dis-
trict will discuss this week its preference
between at-large and district elections
for board members and the possible cre-
ation of district boundaries.
Board members of the San Mateo
County Community College District are
currently elected by voters countywide
but with recent attention given to the
process including a pending lawsuit
against the county for its own county-
wide supervisorial elections the dis-
trict wants to know what its constituents
think.
Previously, the district was advised by
the state chancellors to look at the way
local elections are set up. Over the last
month, the board held public hearings on
the matter. On Wednesday, the board
will study the matter.
The district oversees three colleges
and serves more than 40,000 students
annually. Trustees for the ve-member
board are not required to live within a
certain geographic area or district.
The differences in the two systems are
primarily how many voters a candidate
needs to convince and how much money
it will cost to run. At-large elections ask
voters to choose board members to rep-
resent the entire county instead of just
the district from which they are elected.
Proponents argue this makes members
more accountable to all voters and limits
factions on the board. Opponents, how-
ever, say the system tends to be more
expensive because of the countywide
campaigning required.
In district elections, voters only
choose a representative from within spe-
cic boundaries which cuts down on
campaign costs for candidates but which
opponents say leave board members
with a narrow focus on only the specic
concerns of their district.
The California Voting Rights Act of
2001 prohibits at-large elections if they
dilute the voting inuence of minority
groups. The act is largely the basis of the
pending lawsuit against San Mateo
County which elects its supervisors
countywide to represent individual dis-
tricts.
In response, county voters in
November will be asked whether to keep
the status quo or switch to district elec-
tions. San Mateo County voters rejected
similar proposals to change the system
in both 1978 and 1980.
But changing the college districts sys-
tem will take more than just a vote to do
so. The board will rst need to draw dis-
trict boundaries and decide whether to
keep the current ve members or expand
to nine seats. With ve trustees, each dis-
trict would include 136,000 to 150,000
voters. A seven-member board drops the
number of constituents to between
97,000 and 107,000.
A change could happen as soon as
November 2013, depending on how long
the drawing of boundaries takes. On that
timeline, current trustees would nish
out their terms but those with terms end-
ing in 2013 would need to live within the
new districts to seek re-election.

Mateo County high on more than
half of its indicators.
The report 2012 California

Californias 58 counties on 28

In general, according to Children

from a low of 32 percent for Latino
children to a high of 90 percent for
white children.
Compared to other counties, San
Mateo County ranked in the top
third for 3- and 4-year-olds who
attend preschool, children who are
in a healthy weight zone and chil-
dren who have insurance for the
entire year.
The county, which reported
161,416 children, also ranked high
for women who receive early pre-
natal care, newborns exclusively
breast-fed while in the hospital,
third-graders reading at grade level,
students ready for college-level
math classes, seniors who graduate
on time and classrooms with high-
speed Internet access. The county
also topped others for seventh-
graders who exceed state math
standards, high school science
classes taught by a highly qualified
instructor, children who feel con-
nected to their school, suspensions
limited to serious offenses rather
than willful defiance, adolescents
who are not at risk for depression
and children who live near grocery
stores or farmers markets.
But not every category was rosy
for San Mateo County. The county
ranked in the bottom third of per-
formance for children in the wel-
fare system who have stability in
their placement, children in the
child welfare system who visited a
dentist in the last year, children in
general who have seen a dentist in
the past year and the number of eli-
gible students who eat free or
reduced-price breakfasts during the
school year.

San Mateo County kids get high
marks on well-being scorecard
Facing a decit that could grow to
$5.4 million in future years, the
Belmont-Redwood Shores
Elementary School District is hold-
ing two community meetings to dis-
cuss its budget.
Last year, the district decit spent
more than $850,000, according to
the unaudited actual report. The
habit of spending more than has
been coming in becomes a problem
in the coming school years when the
districts budget forecast means the
district wont have the 3 percent
required in savings. That is if
changes dont happen. In
September, the board heard ideas
from the districts Budget Advisory
Committee suggested to address the
problem including increasing class
sizes and implementing district-
wide furlough days.
Community meetings to discuss
the issues will be held 7 p.m.
Wednesday, Oct. 17 at Redwood
Shores Elementary, 225 Shearwater
Parkway in Redwood City and
Monday, Oct. 22 at Central
Elementary School, 525 Middle
Road, Belmont.
This years budget is estimated to
be $27.5 million total with $30 mil-
lion in expenditures total. When
making a budget for a coming
school year, a district must project
for three years. In April, co-Interim
Superintendent Nellie Hungerford
said her budget for the 2013-14 year
will need to go through 2015-16.
Currently, the projected deficit
spending annually will be $2.4 mil-
lion to $5.4 million this year
through 2015-16. The numbers will
be inuenced by many factors like
the November election, number of
students and property taxes.
A variety of issues have added to
the districts situation, said
Hungerford. Growth has been one
of the districts biggest issues. It has
seen 1,000 additional students
enroll since 2007, a cost of about
$3.2 million. Because of how the
district is funded through property
tax rather than the number of chil-
dren attending school, the district
doesnt receive any additional
money to cover the new students.
Despite the increase in students,
there has been a decline in property
taxes in the last two years,
Hungerford said. Class sizes have
already increased from 20 to 25 stu-
dents in the kindergarten through
third grade classes and from 28.5 to
29.5 in middle school grades.
The situation could become worse
if Gov. Jerry Browns Proposition
30 doesnt pass in November. The
measure, which calls for a mix of
increasing sales and personal
income tax, has been tied to funding
education. If it passes, schools will
not see an increase in funding but
have been promised to keep $457
per student. Without it, all districts
throughout the state are expected to
experience millions in losses.

EDUCATION
On Tuesday, the Burlingame Elementary School
District Board of Trustees will discuss an initial study and
negative declaration for Hoover Elementary School.
In 2010, the Burlingame Elementary School District
purchased the vacant site of Hoover Elementary School at
2220 Summit Drive to help with growing enrollment.
In August, the board voted for a conceptual design for
Hoover which calls for the renovation of the original 1930s
building and removal of the 1949 annex building allowing
for a new building in its place. This creates a school with 11
classrooms, one day-care room and a library created from
two of the smaller current classrooms. There will be a multi-
purpose room with a new stage, main ofce, specialist spaces
in the new buildings and support spaces.
Estimates to upgrade the facility have ranged from $6.87
million to $10.8 million, with the current plan being on the
higher end.
The board meets 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 9 at the District
Ofce, 1825 Trousdale Drive, Burlingame.
On Wednesday, the Sequoia Union High School
District Board of Trustees will discuss the projected future
enrollment and plans to deal with the increase. Current esti-
mates assume enrollment will grow to 9,700 students by
2020 with the greatest number of students coming from
Belmont, Redwood Shores, San Carlos and Menlo Park,
according to a staff report. Staff is suggesting the district
contract with an outside facilities consultant to assess current
facilities and identify possible space for expansion. In addi-
tion, the district will consider the possible growth to each
campus with and without changing boundaries. The pro-
posed timeline calls for completing these tasks by August
2013 with any changes in boundaries for future students to
become effective August 2014.
The board meets 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 10 at the
District Ofce, 480 James Ave., Redwood City.
On Wednesday, the Redwood City Elementary School
District Board of Trustees will discuss a feasibility study
on energy from Siemens.
The discussion will touch upon two possible projects:
energy efciency and solar power. In total, both projects
would cost $3.5 million to implement. However, the study
predicts more than $8 million in savings.
The board meets 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 10 at the District
Ofce, 750 Bradford St., Redwood City.
On Thursday, the San Carlos Elementary School
District Board of Trustees will get a facility master plan
update which will include information about potential
improvements and construction at all district schools and
campuses.
Arundel, Brittan Acres and White Oaks will be
reviewed for key priority projects while recognizing that the
schools would soon move to serving kindergarten through
third grade. Central Middle School will be discussed as to
serving a sixth through eighth grade campus, new fourth
through fth grade campus, District Ofce location and pos-
sible community theater. Several campus scenarios at the
Terra Linda Middle School site. Heather Elementary
School campus changes could include relocating the
Charter Learning Center to the site.
The board meets 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 11 at Central
Middle School library, 828 Chestnut St., San Carlos.
Peeping Tom
admits indecent exposure
A 34-year-old sex offender who
masturbated while looking in the
window of a Half Moon Bay couple
pleaded no contest to indecent expo-
sure in return for no more than 32
months in prison.
Gilberto Mendoza Flores, 34, was
arrested May 10 after a resident on
Amesport Landing phoned police
regarding a prowler who was mas-
turbating while looking in the vic-
tims window at about 5:40 a.m.,
according to the Sheriffs Ofce.
The suspect was described as a
Hispanic male, approximately 6 feet
tall, wearing a black hooded sweat-
shirt.
Several sheriffs patrol units were
sent to the area to conduct a search
for the suspect and, a short time
later, two deputies located a man
hiding in the bushes that matched
the description.
He was told to stop and surrender
but Flores immediately ed, running
through the apartment complex and
jumping fences, according to the
Sheriffs Ofce. Police were able to
ultimately detain him and arrest him
as he hid in a yard.
Flores is a registered sex offender
and was convicted in 2010 for a sim-
ilar offense.
He returns to court Nov. 5 for a
hearing on a defense motion to dis-
count his prior strike and sentenc-
ing.
Local brief
By Seth Borenstein
WASHINGTON A private
rocket successfully sent a capsule
full of cargo zipping toward the
International Space Station in a rst
of its kind delivery for NASA, but
couldnt deliver on job No. 2: put-
ting a commercial satellite into the
correct orbit.
One of nine engines on Space X
companys Falcon 9 rocket failed
Sunday 79 seconds after launch
because of a pressure loss. The
engine didnt explode, but it did start
a series of events that meant another
companys private satellite is not in
the place it is needed.
The main mission for the Falcon
launch delivering half a ton of
science and food supplies toward the
space station is still on track with
a docking of the cargo-laden Dragon
capsule scheduled for Wednesday.
SpaceX on Monday said the ships
ight computer calculated a new
path to the station for the capsule. It
is the rst of a dozen supply runs
under a mega-contract with NASA.
Falcon 9 did exactly what it was
designed to do, the California based
SpaceX said. Like the Saturn V,
which experienced engine loss on
two ights, Falcon 9 is designed to
handle an engine out situation and
still complete its mission.
But not all of its mission.
The original plan was for Falcon
to re its second stage engines after
Dragon left and then deploy an
industrial communications satellite
into orbit for Orbcomm of Dulles,
Va.
Because this is a new resupply
ship for the space station, NASA
and its international partners had set
detailed safety rules in advance for
Falcon, even though the engine fail-
ure was far from the station.

WASHINGTON Nine years
after the Supreme Court said col-
leges and universities can use race
in their quest for diverse student
bodies, the justices have put this
divisive social issue back on their
agenda in the middle of a presiden-
tial election campaign.
Nine years is a blink of the eye
on a court where justices can look
back two centuries for legal prece-
dents. But with an ascendant con-
servative majority, the high court in
arguments Wednesday will weigh
whether to limit or even rule out
taking race into account in college
admissions.
The justices will be looking at
the University of Texas program
that is used to help fill the last
quarter or so of its incoming fresh-
man classes. Race is one of many
factors considered by admissions
officers. The rest of the roughly
7,100 freshman spots automatical-
ly go to Texans who graduated in
the top 8 percent of their high
school classes.
A white Texan, Abigail Fisher,
sued the university after she was
denied a spot in 2008.
The simplest explanation for
why affirmative action is back on
the courts calendar so soon after
its 2003 decision in Grutter v.
Bollinger is that the author of that
opinion, Sandra Day OConnor,
has retired. Her successor, Justice
Samuel Alito, has been highly
skeptical of any use of racial pref-
erence.
High court looks at race in college admissions
NATION 8

WASHINGTON As the White House
race shows signs of tightening nationally,
President Barack Obamas campaign is bank-
ing on a massive get-out-the-vote operation
and state-by-state shades of economic
improvement to maintain its apparent polling
edge in battlegrounds from Ohio to Virginia.
Republican Mitt Romney, re-energized by
last weeks debate, is ashing new condence
on the campaign trail and pressing toward the
political center on both foreign and domestic
issues. But aides have outlined no clear path to
winning the 270 Electoral College votes
required to gain the White House.
Things are going pretty good, the usually
cautious Romney said Monday with a smile.
Among Democrats, the swagger of the pre-
vious few weeks has all but vanished since the
debate.
Ultimately this is a tight race, and its going
to remain a tight race until the end, said Bill
Burton, who runs Priorities USA Action, a pro-
Obama super political action committee.
Indeed, one month from Election Day, polls
show a close race. And with millions of
Americans already voting and the potential for
game-changing moments diminishing, the can-
didates have little room for error as they seek
to sway a narrow swath of undecided voters.
Obama aides acknowledge Romneys strong
turn on the debate stage helped him shift gears
from a rocky September. But they also argue
that Romneys momentum was arrested some-
what by a Friday jobs report showing the
unemployment rate declined to 7.8 percent, the
lowest level of Obamas presidency.
They say the president was thrown during
the debate by what they call Romneys will-
ingness to abandon his previous positions,
including his $5 trillion tax cut proposal. In
the next debate and in television advertise-
ments before then the Democrat and his
aides are expected to accuse Romney of lying
about his own plans.
Romneys team, mean-
while, is tempering expec-
tations that tightening
national polls will translate
into success on the ground
in the key states most likely
to decide the race. Things
may be moving in the right
direction, they say, but sig-
nicant work remains.
Still, theyre seeking to paint Obamas cam-
paign as desperate.
It seems pretty clear that their new strategy
is basically just call us liars, to descend down
into a mud pit and hopefully, with enough
mudslinging back and forth and distortion,
people will get demoralized and they can win
by default, said Romney running mate Paul
Ryan.
Both Democrats and Republicans say inter-
nal campaign surveys following last weeks
debate show Romney has cut into the lead
Obama had built up in many key battleground
states. But they say Obama still has an advan-
tage in most of the nine or so critical states,
including Ohio and Virginia. A lack of inde-
pendent polling makes it difcult to know
whether thats true. Romney pulled ahead of
Obama, 49 to 45 percent nationally, among
likely voters according to a Pew Research
Center poll conducted after the debate.
In a foreign policy speech at Virginia
Military Institute in Lexington, Va., on
Monday, Romney cast himself as a statesman
who would be part of a long, bipartisan tradi-
tion of American leadership in the world. He
said the U.S. should use its power wisely,
with solemnity and without false pride, but
also rmly and actively.
At the same time, he is moving away from
some of the more conservative positions he
pressed during the GOP primary. The shift is
aimed at appealing to the independents and
disaffected members of both parties who could
swing the race.
Obama looks to regroup; Romney confident
By Ben Feller
KEENE President Barack Obama on
Monday designated the home of Latino labor
leader Cesar Chavez as a national monument,
calling Chavez a hero who brought hope to
millions of poor, disenfranchised farm work-
ers who otherwise might have remained
invisible to much of the nation.
Today, we celebrate Cesar Chavez,
Obama said at a ceremony at La Paz, the
California farmhouse where Chavez lived
and worked for more than two decades. Our
world is a better place because Cesar Chavez
decided to change it.
Chavez, who died in 1993 at age 66, is
buried on the site where the monument was
dedicated. His widow, Helen, still lives there.
The 187-acre site, known as Nuestra
Senora Reina de la Paz (Our Lady Queen of
Peace), or simply La Paz, was the unions
planning and coordination center starting in
1971. Chavez and many organizers lived,
trained and strategized there.
Obamas action designates 105 acres at the
site near Bakerseld as a national monument,
the fourth monument he has designated
under the Antiquities Act.
The action could shore up support from
some Hispanic and progressive voters for
Obama, whose 2008 yes we can slogan
borrowed from Chavezs motto, Si, se
puede.
When the Arizona-born Chavez began
working as an organizer after World War II,
no one seemed to care about the invisible
farm workers who picked the nations food,
Obama said. Cesar cared. And in his own
peaceful, eloquent way he made other people
care, too. Where there had once been despair,
Cesar gave workers a reason to hope.
As head of the United Farm Workers of
America, Chavez staged a massive grape
boycott and countless field strikes, and
forced growers to sign contracts providing
better pay and working conditions to the pre-
dominantly Latino farmworkers. He was
credited with inspiring millions of other
Latinos in their ght for more educational
opportunities, better housing and more polit-
ical power.
Obama seemed to tie Chavez to his own re-
election campaign, saying: Even though we
have a difcult road ahead, I know we can
keep moving forward together.

Letters to the editor
Higher gas prices
Editor,
High gas prices? California, let me
explain it to you:
1. No refineries have been allowed to be
built in California for the last 40 years.
2. The tax per gallon is 69 cents, the sec-
ond highest in the nation.
3. A special blend of gasoline is used in
California, as opposed to the other 49
states.
4. The legislative body we have is so out
of touch with reality, that this type of poli-
cy making is guaranteed to continue.
5. The electorate is only too willing to
accept all of the above, in order to live in
California and will probably vote in new,
higher taxes at the coming election.
Im just surprised that youre surprised!

Mad Hatters tea party
Editor,
I had to laugh at Rosanne Fousts concern
about electing supervisors by district
(Voters to decide how supervisors elected
in the Oct. 8 edition of the Daily Journal).
You can just hear the combination of deri-
sion and fear in her voice as she asks,
Whos to say there wouldnt be fringe can-
didates? Fringe candidates? What?
Someone from outside the clubby good old
boy/girl system that runs this county?
Shudder to think it might be a Republican
or (gasp) someone from the Green Party or
those, those (deep breath) Libertarians.
Foust and most of her companions at the
supervisorial tea party can be heard
exclaiming, No room! No room! Only
Supervisor Dave Pine seems to appreciate
the need to bring new voices to the table. I
hope he can survive the flying tea cups and
effect that sorely needed change.

Vote no on measure B
Editor,
How about you wake up, Guy Guerrero
(Letter: Time for a change in the Oct. 4
edition of the Daily Journal). Try joining
the rest of us in the 21st century who have
learned to look beyond ones race when it
comes to electing our government officials.
Just by mentioning that Jim Crow nonsense
shows how you have no clue about who
your fellow citizens are in this great county
of ours. San Mateo is one of the best run
counties in the state and the last thing we
need is a district election. Why? Because
district elections are divisive and lead to
special interests that pull resources in every
direction and waste both time and money. I
have two questions for Mr. Guerrero: What
will your minority group representation
give you that you dont already have today
with at-large elections? And how are your
needs different than the rest of the people
in your community? May the best man or
woman win based on all voters in the coun-
ty and keep race out of it. The lawsuit filed
by Robert Rubin and the Lawyers
Committee for Civil Rights is a shake-up
from outsiders that should be vehemently
opposed. Vote no on Measure B and help
keep San Mateo County from becoming the
circus that is San Francisco.

Jobs report
Editor,
As a registered independent voter, I
would like to add some diversity to the
growing chorus of dissatisfaction expressed
mainly by Republicans at the recent
improving jobs report. Opportunities like
this to feed, clothe and house ones family,
while commendable under most circum-
stances, only serve to muddy the election
waters and would have best been delayed
until after November.

Other peoples money
Editor,
As if the state doesnt already have its
hands full, the recently passed Senate Bill
1234 will create a new state retirement sys-
tem for employees in small, non-unionized
businesses. Employers will be fined $1,000
per employee for non-compliance. Worst
yet, for small business owners, their money
will end up helping big businesses that they
compete against. Worse still, this new pot
of money will be managed by seven politi-
cal appointees who wont be small business
employees and dont have their own money
in the pot. So they get to play with other
peoples money either to enhance their own
investment portfolio or to use that money to
punish political foes and reward political
friends. This is a bad law. If I am in the
Assembly, I will vote no if my vote can
defeat it. But if all the Democratic mem-
bers vote to pass it as a block, this is how I
might modify it. I will dedicate this money
as a 1 to 2 matching fund for small busi-
ness loans so the money will help support
small business jobs in California while
making a healthy return. For example, if
Gingers Caf in Sunnyvale applies for and
receives a $30,000 loan from Wells Fargo,
the state fund will loan $10,000 of that
amount on the same interests, same terms,
with preferred repayment conditions.
Participating banks get to serve more
clients, and the funds get a good return.
The job of the state government is to pro-
vide for infrastructure, education and public
safety. Investing other peoples retirement
money is not among it.

Stein will be
missed, but not forgotten
Editor,
On Sept. 10, Burlingame resident Richard
Stein passed away. I was saddened to hear
the news. I found and read his obituary in
the Sept. 23 San Francisco Chronicle. He
lived an amazing life. He graduated from
Burlingame High School in 1954. He was
inducted into the Burlingame High School
Athletic Hall of Fame. He attended Stanford
University, earned a BS in economics and
an MBA. He played both defense and
offense on the Stanford Football Team, and
was the favorite target of future 49ers All-
Pro quarterback John Brodie. Dick Stein
was like a father to me. I have many great
memories of him and his family. Dick, you
will be missed, but not forgotten. My con-
dolences to his wife and the Stein family.

Game changer
T
he Department of Fish and Game
went hunting for a new name that
would somehow put the focus on the
preservation of animals rather than the killing
of them for sport.
Lo and behold,
the newly minted
Department of
Fish and Wildlife.
Besides now
requiring every-
body to remember
a new acronym
and employees to
order up new busi-
ness cards, the
moniker is a move
toward more accu-
rately reecting
the state agencys broader mission, accord-
ing to Democratic state Sen. Jared Huffman
who sponsored the name change bill signed
into law recently by Gov. Jerry Brown.
The switch might placate PETA a bit as
much as that surly bunch can ever be placat-
ed. And it puts the state in good company.
The majority already use the term wildlife
rather than game.
The hunters, though, are not amused. First,
the state outlaws the use of dogs to hunt bears
and bobcats. Then it switches up a depart-
ment name just to feel warm and fuzzy.
Whats next? Giving the deer weapons so
they can shoot back?
Or, maybe we should just outlaw the word
game. That should make eating Cornish
wildlife hens a little odd or hog-tie foodies
chomping to describe exotic meats as
wildlife-y. Folks could herald the start of
sporting events with Wildlife on! but that
would just be ridiculous.
Silliness and never-resolved controversy
over hunting itself aside, the name change
carries other problematic considerations.
For one thing, the newly formed acronym
DFW is too close to mammoth shoe retailer
DSW and something tells me that calling up
the former to order a pair of trendy snakeskin
pumps wont go over too well with the pro-
critter contingent.
Seriously, though, simply changing a name
doesnt necessarily change a departments
actions or perceptions. In July 2005, the
states prison system became the California
Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation. Has everybody felt that every
inmate released since has been properly con-
verted into an upstanding member of society?
The Centers for Disease Control tacked on
and Prevention in 1992. Kudos for symbol-
ism but the shorthand remains CDC and the
money spent to change letterhead and signs
would have been better off spent doing some
actual prevention and controlling.
Same goes for Californias Department of
Fish and Game er, Wildlife. The price tag
to redo websites, uniforms and the like is esti-
mated at $300,000 which is a relative drop in
the bucket but still an unneeded expense.
A government agency by any other name
may smell as sweet but the title is only win-
dow dressing if there isnt any actual internal
transformation. A name change often does lit-
tle more than rankle those who refuse to
abide. Think of how many still refer to Army
Street in San Francisco. A name change can
also be a precursor to a downward spiral.
Jefferson Airplane became Jefferson Starship
which became Starship which became the sad
shell of a band best known to younger gener-
ations as performers of the Mannequin
theme song.
This is not saying the Department of Fish
and Wildlife is one step away from Grace
Slick and company but these challenges need
to be weighed.
The department is a serious entity with a

Investors looked warily at forecasts
for poor U.S. corporate earnings and
weaker growth in Asia and decided
there wasnt much reason to buy stocks.
The Dow Jones industrial average
gave up 26.50 points to close at
13,583.65 points Monday. The
Standard & Poors 500 index fell 5.05
points to 1,455.88 and the Nasdaq com-
posite lost 23.84 points to 3,112.35.
Companies in the S&P 500 index are
expected to post an overall decline in
profits for the first time in 11 quarters,
according to FactSet. The third-quarter
earnings season starts on Tuesday when
aluminum maker Alcoa releases its
results.
Tuesday also marks the five-year
anniversary of the record high closes of
the Dow and the S&P 500. The S&P, a
benchmark tracked by many mutual
funds, is currently about 7 percent
below its record high. The Dow is about
4 percent below its peak.
Stocks have been on a strong run,
with the Dow up 11 percent this year,
the S&P 500 nearly 16 percent. But
Asias slowdown, Europes problems,
and now forecasts of weak U.S. corpo-
rate earnings have caused some
investors to wonder whether the stock
market has risen too far, too fast.
On top of those concerns, some mar-
ket leaders like Apple have been falling
in recent days, noted Bob Pavlik, chief
market strategist at Banyan Partners
LLC.
It sort of leads folks into thinking,
Why dont I take a little bit of profit off
the table, put it away, and maybe re-
invest it if third-quarter results turn out
to be higher than expected, he said.
Apple closed above $700 on Sept. 18,
but has been declining since then. On
Monday it fell $14.42 to $638.17.
Also on Monday, the World Bank
warned that a more pronounced slow-
down is possible in China, the worlds
second-largest economy. It also cut its
overall growth forecast for developing
countries in Asia.
Slower growth in Asia could drag
down the U.S. economy. One of the few
bright points for the U.S. during the
recession was tremendous growth in
export demand by developing nations in
Asia and other regions.

NEW YORK American Airlines
CEO acknowledges that passengers have
had a rough few weeks on the airline but
says the carrier is working through its
issues.
The operational performance is
improving, CEO Tom Horton said in an
interview with the Associated Press on
Monday. Well get past this just like
other airlines before us have.
The airline, which has been in bank-
ruptcy protection since November, saw
its on-time performance drop to 59 per-
cent in September, according to
Flightstats.com. In that same period
Delta, Southwest and U.S. Airways were
all above 85 percent. The airline has
blamed the delays on pilots writing up
extra maintenance requests as part of an
unsanctioned job action.
Delays and cancellations snowballed
after a federal bankruptcy judge ruled
against the airlines pilots, allowing
management to impose new pay and
work rules. Pilots started ling more
maintenance complaints, sometimes
minutes before the scheduled departure
time, and ew circuitous routes.
The airline has cut ights and added
reserve crews and extra planes to cover
any last-minute delays. Now that the two
sides are back at the bargaining table,
Horton says customers should notice
more on-time ights.
Unfortunately for a couple of weeks
there, it was very difcult on our cus-
tomers, he said. He said the companys
operating performance is not yet back
to the level we think our customers
deserve and expect from American, but
it has improved signicantly since the
period right after the contract rejection.
Despite its troubles, Horton said
American remains committed to safety.
The airline grounded 48 of its 111
Boeing 757s last week after seats came
loose on three separate ights. The air-
line found a fix which Horton said
should prevent future problems.
I think thats behind us, he said.
Horton presented four colorful slides
to the Associated Press, pressing the idea
that despite being in bankruptcy protec-
tion, American has been outperforming
the rest of the industry in its passenger
revenue growth. The six months of
strong revenue come from recent rev-
enue-sharing deals with British Airways
and Japan Airlines and from strong
demand for travel to Latin America.

DETROIT Now hiring in Detroit:
Scads of software developers and pro-
grammers. General Motors is moving
past layoffs and the Motor Citys rusty,
low-tech image. Its setting out on its
own to develop software and invent the
most advanced gizmos for your car.
The nations biggest automaker plans
to hire up to 10,000 computer profes-
sionals in the next three-to-ve years as
it tries to lead the auto industry with cut-
ting-edge technology.
Its a bold and expensive move, count-
er to the industrys history of buying
software and other electronic applica-
tions from outside companies. Experts
say its also the start of a trend as manu-
facturers realize that software is among
the few things that will set them apart
from competitors.
The companies that build the soft-
ware themselves in general are going to
have an advantage, says David
Kirkpatrick, author of a book about
Facebook and CEO of Techonomy
Media Inc., a New York rm that spe-
cializes in setting up technology confer-
ences. If you outsource the develop-
ment of software in particular to others,
you can risk ... your own ability to com-
pete in the future.
General Motors Co. isnt alone in try-
ing to move more technology develop-
ment under its roof. But the plans of its
biggest competitor, Ford Motor Co.,
arent nearly as ambitious.
GMs aims to bring 90 percent of its
computer technology work into the com-
pany by recruiting workers to four new
information technology centers around
the nation. Ford recently joined GM,
BMW AG and Renault-Nissan in open-
ing a technology ofce in Californias
Silicon Valley, although its staffed by
only about 15 people.

LONDON YouTube is extending its
original programming initiative into
Europe, with at least 60 new video chan-
nels from media companies including
Britains BBC, London-based
FreemantleMedia and the Netherlands
Endemol.
The Google Inc.-owned video site said
Monday the new channels, with content
from Britain, Germany, France, and the
United States, will be in addition to the
100 channels launched in the U.S. last
year. Like the pre-existing American
offerings, the European channels will
have a mix of celebrity-oriented, niche,
and established programs.
Some of the channels are personality-
driven, others are from partners who are
totally passionate about a subject, Ben
McOwen Wilson, who manages
YouTubes northern European partner-
ships, said in a telephone interview
ahead of the announcement.
He said the goal was to let content pro-
ducers come up with something they
couldnt deliver on TV.
The expansion into Europe marks
another step in YouTubes move into the
territory normally occupied by tradition-
al media companies.
McOwen Wilson said the new chan-
nels would include programming from
BBC Worldwide, the British public
broadcasters commercial arm;
Endemol, the Dutch company behind the
Big Brother reality television fran-
chise; and FreemantleMedia, an arm of
German media giant Bertelsmann
responsible for American Idol.

When talking to Menlo High School starting quarterback Jack
Heneghan, youll notice the junior utter the word fun over and
over again.
And in a sense, its tting because if youre
a fan of the quarterback position, youd be
hard pressed to have more fun watching any-
one but Heneghan walk up to the offensive
line and take a snap.
Its really fun, Heneghan said. Its nice
to have a passing offense and show your
coach that you can make plays. I think its
really incredible that you can do impressive
things on the offensive side with the pass. Its great. Its an incred-
ibly fun group to play with. I think we had a lot of talent on our
entire team. They make it really easy as a quarterback because
you have plenty of time, the receivers get open and the running
backs make plays.
SANTA CLARA Alex Smith
had just engineered the most
offense in San Francisco 49ers his-
tory and the best balanced approach
the NFL had ever witnessed when
the attention started to shift to this
weeks NFC championship game
rematch against the New York
Giants.
Theres a lot of baggage, a lot of
history there, Smith said. A little
unnished business, I guess.
When the Giants (3-2) return to
Candlestick Park on Sunday, they
might not recognize the 49ers
offense. As even San Francisco (4-
1) coach Jim Harbaugh admitted:
The talent level has been upgrad-
ed.
The fact that the only question
about the 49ers
offense this
week is Smiths
sprained middle
nger which
H a r b a u g h
called very
much a con-
cern but Smith
said wasnt an
issue illus-
trates just how
much has changed since the eventu-
al Super Bowl champion Giants
outlasted San Francisco 20-17 in
overtime Jan. 22.
Harbaugh heralded his quarter-
back Monday, a day after his usual-
ly defensive-oriented 49ers
whipped the Buffalo Bills 45-3 by
gaining a franchise-record 621
yards. San Francisco also became
the rst team in NFL history with
300 yards passing and 300 yards
rushing in the same game.
Harbaugh said Smith just is a
better player than the former quar-
terback ever was, even when
Harbaugh became the 1995 NFL
Comeback Player of the Year in
Indianapolis, and has been instru-
mental in the 49ers evolution.
I cant tell you how much

Niners offense looks as dominant as D
B
oy, it didnt take long for
reality to jump up and slap
Bay Area baseball fans
from their dreams of a Bay Bridge
World Series. A week ago, the San
Francisco Giants were sharpening
up for the playoffs against the
Dodgers, while the Oakland As
were doing the improbable and
chasing down and passing the two-
time American League champion
Texas Rangers.
Two games into the Division
Series, both teams are already fac-
ing do or die situations, beginning
today. If there
is one team
that has the
best shot of
doing the near
impossible, it
has to be
Oakland. After
the Giants
clinched the
division, the
term 2010
began being
bandied about.
Doesnt 2012 feel like 2010?
No, not really. Not for San
Francisco anyway. If anyone is
poised to repeat the Giants run in
2010 is the Oakland As of 2012.
The similarities are there: Oakland,
like the Giants in 2010, had to
chase down the division leader, uti-
lizing a mature-beyond-their-years
pitching staff and clinched the divi-
sion on the nal day of the regular
season.
But why would the As have a
better shot than San Francisco in
rallying to win this playoff series?
Simple really, the As have been a
lot more competitive against
Detroit than San Francisco has
been against the Reds. Seeing what
Bronson Arroyo did to San
Francisco did Sunday, what do the
think the Giants chances would be
if they had to face Detroit Game 1
pitcher Justin Verlander?
The As have put together much
better pitching both starting and
relieving and have taken a much
better approach at the plate than

Giants fighting for survival
CINCINNATI Homer Bailey
played catch in the sun-splashed
outfield at Great American Ball
Park, his usual routine the day
before a start. Nothing different at
all, as far as the Texan let on.
You guys, he said afterward,
its just another game.
Uh-uh. Not buying it. Everyone
knows the Cincinnati Reds pitcher
has a chance to exorcise a lot of bad
postseason history or add to it
with his next start.
Less than two weeks after he
threw the 15th no-hitter in the histo-
ry of baseballs rst professional
franchise, the 26-year-old Bailey
has a chance to add another career
moment. He can complete a divi-
sion-series sweep of the San
Francisco Giants on Tuesday night.
Up 2-0 in the
series, the Reds
need one more
victory to
advance, with as
many as three
chances left at
home. Itll be a
breakthrough if
they get it.
Cincinnati hasnt won a home
playoff game in 17 years, a span of
futility etched into the franchises
storied history.

Everyone remembers the Big Red Machine
winning back-to-back World Series in 1975-76.
The 1990 Nasty Boys team swept Oakland to
win another.
Since then? Little more than heartbreak. Got
swept by Atlanta in the 1995 NL championship
series under manager Davey Johnson. Lost a
one-game playoff for the NL wild card to the
Mets in 1999 at Riverfront Stadium. Got swept
by the Phillies in the rst round two years ago.
Maybe its nally their time.
I had this one kid give me a sweatshirt that
said, The Year of the 12, said manager Dusty
Baker, who wears the uniform number. He
gave it to me in spring training. I believe in that.
Im only going to see one 12 while Im living.
Its a special year. I just feel that its our year.
Their rst shot at it will make major league
history.
The Giants and Reds both had pitchers throw
no-hitters this year Matt Cain had a perfect
game for San Francisco. When Bailey starts on
Tuesday, itll mark the rst time two players
that threw no-hitters in the regular season pitch
on opposing teams in the same playoff series,
according to STATS LLC.
The Reds put themselves in position for a
sweep by overcoming the loss of ace Johnny
Cueto to a bad back in the rst inning of the
opener, then pulling out a 5-2 win. They won 9-
0 on Sunday night behind Bronson Arroyos
seven crisp innings, then tried to get a few
hours of sleep on the overnight ight back to
Ohio.
The plane landed at 6:48 a.m., less than an
hour before the sun came up.
I slept on the plane, got here, got my stuff,
got breakfast (at a restaurant) and went back to
bed, slept a couple of hours and made myself
get up, outelder Drew Stubbs said. Not an
ideal amount of rest, but hopefully I get to
catch up on it tonight.
Stubbs, Bailey and a few other Reds showed
up at the ballpark in the afternoon for a light
workout. Stubbs ran a few pass patterns as
players threw a football on the eld.
The Giants stayed overnight on the West
Coast and ew in during the afternoon, trying
to get a little needed sleep in their own beds.
Probably wasnt very restful only four
teams have overcome a 2-0 decit in the divi-
sion series.
Manager Bruce Bochy couldnt tell by what
he heard on the ight to Cincinnati that his
team was down to its last loss.
I think more than anything, they were relax-
ing back there, doing what they normally do,
Bochy said. Some guys were playing cards.
We did have some family on the trip and they
were watching movies. There was really noth-
ing any different than any trip we take. So I
cant say I noticed anything different about it.
Out of the conversation, but not out of the
minds for the 2010 World Series champions.
The cliche is to say its just another game,
but I feel just another game doesnt count
when youre talking about the postseason, said
right-hander Ryan Vogelsong, who starts on
Tuesday. And when youre talking about
being down 0-2 in a series, you cant say its
just another game, either.
If Vogelsong and the Giants can extend the
series, Bochy said Monday that left-hander
Barry Zito would start Game 4. And the Reds
were still unsure whether Cueto would be
available.
Itll be Baileys rst appearance at Great
American Ball Park since his no-hitter in
Pittsburgh on Sept. 28. He followed the no-hit-
ter with four shutout innings in a 1-0 loss in the
nal game of the season at St. Louis, an easy
outing to save him for the playoffs.
Bailey led the NL with a 2.32 earned run
average on the road this season, but is only
18-19 with a 5.13 career ERA at Great
American.
Itll be the rst time Reds fans get to recog-
nize him for the no-hitter not that hell
notice.
I will probably be somewhat oblivious to
it, just like any starter on game day, Bailey
said. Unless there is a streaker running
across, you dont pay attention, youre just
focused on what youre doing.
Bailey will be well-rested. He ew home
with Cueto on Sunday, got home and watched
the last few innings of the Reds win on tele-
vision.
Itll be Bakers first game back in
Cincinnati since Sept. 12. He was hospitalized
while the team was in Chicago for an irregu-
lar heartbeat and a mini-stroke.
He rejoined the team for the nal series in
St. Louis, then ew to the West Coast and got
an ovation when introduced before the rst
playoff game.

OAKLAND Ideally, Jim Leyland would
have everybody hug it out and play ball.
Just as Detroits Justin Verlander and Coco
Crisp of Oakland did on the eld for Mondays
workout day ahead of their teams Game 3 in
the AL division series Tuesday. The Tigers lead
2-0 and are one win from advancing to a sec-
ond straight AL championship series.
Leyland insists reliever Al Alburquerque
meant no ill will toward the Athletics when he
elded Yoenis Cespedes ninth-inning come-
backer and quickly kissed the ball before
throwing to rst. Yet the manager disagreed
with the display.
Everybody always says Im from the old
school, so Id have probably hugged it rst,
Leyland joked. I dont think it was the right
thing to do. I will sit here today and I will not
try to defend it. I will say that I can assure
everybody, including the Oakland As, Al
Alburquerque did nothing intentionally to
offend the Oakland As. A lot of emotion is
shown in different ways in the game anymore.
You see a lot of different variations of person-
al celebrations as well as team celebrations.
It wasnt a smart thing to do, but I can hon-
estly tell you that there is no way that Al
Alburquerque or any members of the Detroit
Tigers would ever do anything intentionally to
offend another team. It just would not happen,
Leyland said.
As upstart Oakland returned home hoping to
pull off another improbable sweep like the one
against Texas last week to capture the AL West
crown, that controversial smooch was still
plenty talked about in both clubhouses.
Alburquerque said he did speak to his team-
mates, and that they knew his gesture was
within the emotion of the game.
I respect Cespedes and I didnt do it out of
disrespect, the pitcher said. I was just excit-
ed to get the out.
Still, that didnt mean the Tigers werent sur-
prised by it.
I said, Did I see what I just saw? catcher
Gerald Laird said.
Cespedes was eager to get to his baseball
work Monday, saying: Thats his problem. It
doesnt bother me. It was his turn to win.
Someday it will be my turn.
Even though everybody realized full well
they should be focused on the game itself.
I know him, so I know he didnt mean much
by it, injured As third baseman and former
Tiger Brandon Inge said. But Im sure hes
going to regret it. Honestly, this is something
thats going to be blown out of proportion
because its a unique story and its something
that doesnt happen much. For us, our ultimate
retaliation or comeback would be to win three.
Were not concerned with the actions of one
person. On their side, Im sure he didnt really
want to stir up a hornets nest over here either.
Leyland says kiss meant no disrespect
CINCINNATI Left-hander Barry Zito
will start Game 4 for the San Francisco Giants
if they can extend their NL division series
against the Cincinnati Reds.
Two-time Cy Young Award winner Tim
Lincecum? Hes staying
in the bullpen.
San Francisco ew in
from the West Coast on
Monday trailing 2-0 in the
best-of-five series. The
Reds can finish it off
Tuesday night when
Homer Bailey (13-10)
goes against the Giants
Ryan Vogelsong (14-9).
Manager Bruce Bochy
wanted to see how the rst two games of the
series played out before deciding his Game 4
starter. The Reds won 5-2 and 9-0, with
Lincecum pitching two innings in relief on
Sunday night.
Bochy chose Zito (15-8) because of his
strong nish to the season. The left-hander
won his last ve starts and seven straight deci-
sions. The Giants won the last 11 games that
he started.
Hes been really on top of his game, and I
think hes earned this, Bochy said. We all
do. Im glad to be able to tell Barry that hes
getting the start. When you win your last 11
games that a pitcher starts, its a pretty good
thing.
It was a touchy decision for the Giants.
Lincecum pitched their Game 5 World Series
clincher at Texas in 2010, but has struggled
this season. He lost a career-high 15 games,
had a 5.18 ERA and tied his career high with
17 wild pitches.
Bochy considered starting Matt Cain, who
lost the opening game of the series on
Saturday night, if San Francisco gets to a
Game 4.
Sure, we put thought in it, but this is more
a case with rewarding Zito with how hes been
pitching and the job hes done, and I think
hes earned this, Bochy said. Instead of
pushing a starter back on short rest there is
a history of that not working too well. And
this would have been the rst time that we
have asked Matt to do it this year.
The Reds are unsure whether right-hander
Johnny Cueto will be available if theres a
Game 4. He started the series opener but left
in the rst inning with back spasms. If hes
unavailable, the Reds could start Mat Latos,
who relieved Cueto on Saturday night.
Cuetos uncertain status isnt much of an
issue with the Reds.
Everybody is staying calm, not worrying if
Johnny is able to pitch in the future, right-
hander Bronson Arroyo said Monday. We
dont even know now, and I dont think any-
body is panicked about it because we feel
were deep enough to compete regardless.
Zito would start Game 4

Police: Bears fan gets
throat slashed in Florida bar
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Authorities say a
Chicago fan who came to Jacksonville for the
Bears-Jaguars football game had his throat
slashed inside a bar.
The Jacksonville Sheriffs Ofce says 42-
year-old William C. Chris Pettry died early
Sunday inside Fionn MacCools, an Irish-
themed restaurant.
Twenty-seven-year-old Matthew Hinson is
being held without bond on a murder charge.
Jacksonville jail records didnt list an attorney
for Hinson.
The Florida-Times Union reported on
Monday that witnesses told detectives Hinson
cut Pettrys throat after the victim had been
talking with the suspects wife. Detectives say
Hinson then put the bloody knife in his pock-
et and calmly walked out of the restaurant.
Pettry lived in Lake Villa, Ill., about 50
miles from Chicago.

if they knew each other. Authorities are
searching for a male suspect with a ponytail.
No one has been arrested.

Chinn a scoring machine
The Amanda Chinn Show drew incredible
numbers last week.
The Hillsdale High School senior scored 13
of her teams 14 goals in the Knights 14-11
win over Mills High School Tuesday after-
noon in girls water polo. According to
Hillsdale head coach Andy
Hodzic, it was just another
day at the ofce for Chinn.
If its one on one, shell
usually score, Hodzic
said. She has an extreme-
ly powerful shot, so any
time she gets free and
clear ... its a goal. Shes a
pretty good swimmer.
Tuesday was a vintage
Chinn. Nine times, the
Knights earned man advantages and, each
time, Chinn capitalized.
We practice that a lot, Hodzic said. Many
times, shes between a player and the ball so
she shoots but she can also protect the ball.
She creates shots and she separates herself
from the defense.
Currently, Chinn is one of only two seniors
on the Hillsdale team. And in a rebuilding year
for the Knights, Chinn has picked up the
majority of their offensive load.
Shes a team player, Hodzic said. Shes
getting better, but everyone else is recognizing
this. The second part of the season, shell see
a lot of double teams. But, were going to use
that to our advantage.
LINE LATU, SAN MATEO HIGH
If there is a play that denes the young Line
Latu, it happened Friday night after Carlmont
on the running backs rst of two touchdowns.
He literally made a guy fall to the ground
without even touching him, said San Mateo
head coach Jeff Scheller.
Hes a special kind of
player because you dont
expect much until he gets
the ball in his hands. And
he just does the little
things that turn into big
plays. He just hits the hole
hard and makes one
move.
Latu carried the ball 13
times and gained 185 yards in San Mateos
come-from-behind 20-13 win. After scoring
from 46 yards out in the rst quarter, No. 11
broke off a 51-yard touchdown run with 4:45
left in the game to put the Bearcats on top.
Hes number four out of six and Ive coach
all four of them, Scheller said of the Latu
family. Im sure they get it from their mom.
MIKE TAYLOR, SEQUOIA HIGH
Even in defeat, Mike Taylor, the senior quar-
terback for the Cherokees, shined.
After throwing a pair of interceptions to end
the half against South San Francisco High
School Friday night, Taylor shook off the cob-
webs and almost led his team back to victory.
The Warriors took the lead, stunningly, on two
huge plays and left a little over a minute on the
game clock for Taylor and the Cherokees to go
82 yards for the potential tying touchdown.
No. 8 did just that, peppering the South City
defense and taking his team to the 6-yard line
before the potential tying TD was fumbled
into the end zone for a touch back.
Still, Taylor amassed 106 yards rushing and
four touchdowns. He also threw for 110 yards.
He quoted one of the phrases we stole from
another program, set back, come back and he
dened it, said Sequoia head coach Rob
Poulos. He had that setback and came back
hard. And he was there every step of the way.
ALDO SEVERSON, ARAGON
Severson had a huge game for the Dons. He
caught 12 passes for 161 yards and a touch-
down. He also picked up 18 yards on a fake
punt that kept an Aragon drive alive.
Unfortunately for Severson and the Dons,
M-A was too strong and got a late interception
to hold off Aragon.
DEFENSE, DEFENSE
There were two stellar defensive perform-
ances last week and not surprisingly, both
of those squads are still undefeated on the
year.
Sacred Heart Prep posted its third straight
shutout, holding Burlingame High School to
just 156 yards of total offense in a 10-0 win. In
those three games, the Gators have outscored
their opponents 123-0.
Up at Serra High School, the Padres held
Archbishop Riordan to just 137 yards of
offense and forced two Zach Masoli intercep-
tions in a 56-0 win.

respect I have for him, Harbaugh said. He plays so well,
handles himself. He does all the things. I look back and say,
I wish I could have done as good a job as hes done on and
off the eld.
Since last years devastating home loss in the NFC title
game, 49ers fans could only imagine the possibilities if
Smith and the offense ever matched the defenses domi-
nance.
Imagine no more.
In the grand scheme of a 16-game season, all the yards and
all the records still only add up to one win against a Buffalo
team that has been embarrassed in back-to-back weeks. Even
so, its hard to overlook what San Francisco might be capa-
ble of if Smith and his receivers can play like this.
Back in January, Michael Crabtrees one catch for 3 yards
accounted for all of San Franciscos production from its wide
receivers. The rest came from tight ends and running back
Frank Gore, and even all those only amounted to a dozen for
196 yards.
In the victory against Buffalo, Crabtree had seven catches
for 113 yards and a touchdown, tight end Vernon Davis had
seven catches for 106 yards and newcomers Mario
Manningham and Randy Moss who again played spar-
ingly and was only targeted twice stretched the eld
enough to open lanes for Smiths passes.
He was just on re and on the money, said 49ers offen-
sive coordinator Greg Roman, whom Harbaugh called the
shining light in San Franciscos schemes, which also
include an ever-expanding role for wildcat quarterback Colin
Kaepernick and a version of the Pistol offense Kaepernick
ran at Nevada.
Its amazing. We were very creative on offense, left tack-
le Joe Staley said. Weve seen more and more as far as cre-
ativity goes on offense. Were mixing up the packages and
personnel and it keeps the defense on their toes. They have
to prepare for so much.
Smiths resurgence has been one of the main reasons San
Francisco can dig deeper into its playbook.
49ERS
ALAMEDA A new defensive
scheme that was supposed to transform a
struggling unit has led to perhaps the
least productive defense in Oakland
Raiders history.
The Raiders (1-3) returned to practice
Monday after having four days off for
their bye week looking for answers on
how to x a defense that is on pace to
allow the most points and yards in a sea-
son in team history.
They will be tested right out of their
bye, with a cross-country trip to Atlanta
(5-0) on tap to face Matt Ryan and an
offense that has scored touchdowns on
the highest percentage of drives in the
league so far.
Im denitely surprised, defensive
back Michael Huff said of the struggles.
I was the one buying in, believed in the
scheme, believed in the coaches,
believed in everything. Im not staying
away from that. Watching on lm, we
see what we can be. Were still one play
here, one play there. Its there to be had.
We just got to make the plays.
Huff was the most vocal proponent of
the new scheme, saying he was looking
forward to playing a real defense for a
change under head coach Dennis Allen
and new coordinator Jason Tarver.
Until his death a year ago Monday,
longtime Raiders owner Al Davis was
heavily involved in the teams defense,
picking coordinators who would usually
use his preferred system of bump-and-
run coverage on the outside and pressure
coming from a four-man defensive line.
Allen, the former defensive coordina-
tor in Denver, became the teams rst
defensive-minded head coach since John
Madden in the 1970s. He brought in a
defense that featured multiple fronts and
coverages and was supposed to have
more blitzes than Oakland was used to
using.
That new variety hasnt led to new suc-
cess so far as the Raiders have allowed
125 points in the rst four games the
most at this point of the season since
1962. Oakland is giving up 411.5 yards
per game, allowing opponents to com-
plete 71.5 percent of their passes and has
managed just three sacks and three
turnovers in four games.
We got to have 11 people ying
around to the football, ying around like
their hair is on re,
Allen said. Thats
the way you play
defensive football.
Its been that way
since the beginning
of time, and it wont
change.
Part of the prob-
lem can be attributed
to injuries to starting
cornerbacks Ron
Bartell and Shawntae Spencer. Bartell
went out with a broken shoulder blade in
the season opener against San Diego and
Spencer sprained his right foot the fol-
lowing week in a loss to Miami.
Bartell will be out until at least Nov.
11 and Spencer remains in a walking
boot and has not been cleared to practice.
The injuries have forced Huff to move
from free safety to cornerback, where he
has allowed nine catches on 15 throws
for 145 yards and two touchdowns in his
two starts on the outside, according to
STATS LLC.
Pat Lee, who started one game in three
seasons in Green Bay, has played the
other side. The inexperience at corner-
back has limited some of what the new
defense can do. When the Raiders have
blitzed so far this season it has been
mostly unsuccessful. They got one sack
of Philip Rivers on the rst drive of the
opener against the Chargers. But they
have no sacks on the other 52 pass plays
against the blitz, allowing 38 comple-
tions for 442 yards and three touchdowns
for a passer rating of 117.6, according to
STATS.
Opponents have been mostly complet-
ing short passes against the Raiders, with
the average completion coming 5.1 yards
down the eld compared to 6.9 a year
ago.
Thats the second-shortest average
completion mark for any defense this
season and the lowest for the Raiders
since the statistic was rst measured in
1992 as opponents have feasted on quick
passes against zone coverage.
Thats kind of when youve got to
play man, like the old days, Huff said.
Got to throw quick passes, got to play
more man coverage, get tighter to the
receivers, because obviously theres
holes in every zone, so I think games like
that youve got to play more man. So
well see.
The biggest problems have been on
third down where Oakland is allowing a
league-worst 53.3 percent conversion
rate on pace for the worst mark in
NFL history.
Youre not going to win many games
in this league if you cant win on third
down, defensive tackle Richard
Seymour said. I just think if we look
ourselves in the mirror and say, each guy
instead of looking around saying what
someone else should be doing, if we take
that and lay the burden on our shoulders,
well be where we want to be.
New defense, same results for Raiders
Dennis Allen
ST. LOUIS Jordan Zimmermann
always has trouble with the St. Louis
Cardinals. Game 2 of the NL division
series was no exception.
The Washington Nationals right-han-
der retired the side in order in the rst
inning, then struggled to get anybody else
out in a 12-4 loss Monday that evened the
best-of-ve series at a game apiece.
Carlos Beltran hit the last two of the
Cardinals four homers and St. Louis
chased an ineffective Zimmermann after
three innings. Allen Craig and Daniel
Descalso also went deep to help the
defending World Series champions build
a big lead that compensated for a two-
inning start from an ailing Jaime Garcia.
They have a great lineup,
Zimmermann said. You get a few guys
out and then youve got Beltran, (David)
Freese and it never stops. You have to
make your pitches and I wasnt able to do
that tonight.
Zimmermann has never beaten the
Cardinals in six career starts counting the
postseason, allowing at least ve runs in
all but one of them. He yielded ve runs
and seven hits Monday, his shortest start
of the season.
Nationals manager Davey Johnson said
Zimmermann didnt mix it up enough
and threw too many fastballs.
All young staffs go through this.
When you get into a thing like this, some-
times they revert back to just saying,
OK, Im going to go with what I feel is
my best and pound away, Johnson said.
Zims been better than that. Youve
got to get them off sitting on just one
pitch.
Nationals routed 12-4 by Cardinals
U.S. team yet to discuss
Vonns request to race men
GENEVA Lindsey Vonn wants to chal-
lenge the mens downhill skiers in a World
Cup race next month, though her wish still
needs the support of the United States team
and Alpine skiings governing body.
The U.S. ski federation said Monday that it
had not had a formal discussion about the
possibility of its star racer challenging the
men Nov. 24 in Lake Louise, Alberta.
Vonn, the womens Olympic downhill
champion, has written the International Ski
Federation to ask whether she can make the
historic start at a venue where she has earned
nine of her 26 World Cup downhill victories.
The Canadian course often dubbed Lake
Lindsey for her dominance there stages
womens races, including two downhills, the
following weekend.
FIS, however, cant make a decision on
Vonn until the U.S. ski team makes a formal
request to let her enter.
Theres not anything to say until we have a
proposal from the national association, FIS
secretary general Sarah Lewis told The
Associated Press in a telephone interview
Monday.

Few offenses in the Peninsula Athletic
League bring as much joy as Menlos. In ve
games, all wins, the Knights have put up 261
points (for an average of 52.2 a game). At the
core of that prociency is Heneghan, who is
only a junior, has people uttering Division I
talent after his name.
In Menlos PAL Ocean opener against
Woodside, Heneghan gave a classic perform-
ance. We just saw what type of defense
Woodside was running, he said. There arent
many defenses that matchup, especially with
the pass, so we exploited those holes. The
practice all week helped us do that.
In only three quarters of work, No. 12 com-
pleted 16 of 23 passes for 295 yards and four
touchdowns. At the end of the game, the score-
board read 43-12. Heneghan also led the team
in rushing with 106 yards on nine carries for a
total of 401 yards of offense by the junior
alone.
For his efforts, Heneghan is the San Mateo
Daily Journal Athlete of the Week.
I think we just want to show our potential
as a team and make sure we play every game
like its our last play full speed, Heneghan
said. So, well see how far that takes it
whether its league or playoffs, its great. But
its a focus on ourselves and not on the things
we cant control. Trust the process, trust that
the hard work every day is going to pay off at
the end of the season.
The hard work is paying off for sure right
now. The Knights have strung together ve
complete football games, all resulting in wins.
And while Heneghan has been at the forefront
of everyone of those efforts, whats truly
impressive is Menlos commitment of their
depth. Its something that Heneghan said he
felt helps him and the entire team.
Our team motto is, team rst, Heneghan
said of sharing time under center with players
like Matt Bradley, who has proven to handle
the offense more than adequately as well. So
whenever youre called upon, no matter how
little or how much, you have to step up and
make plays thats you throwing 50 times or
you not playing as much. Its about the team
and you have to be willing to sacrice yourself
somewhat. I think our whole team, were a
tight-knit group and really push each other.
The quarterback position is no exception.
Still, Heneghan said he worked extremely
hard to improve his skill set over the summer.
I worked a lot on my reads, my accuracy,
Heneghan said. Its one thing to have
receivers catch the ball but you want to put it
where they can catch and run afterwards. ... We
have a lot of freedom at our school to make
audibles at the line, just try to know what the
defenses are trying to do once you get under
center.
The hard work has paid off. In that win over
Woodside alone, Heneghan distributed those
scoring passes to three different receivers a
55-yard pass to Max Parker, two passes of 32
and 4 yards to Wiley Osborne and a 20-yard
pass to Peter Bouret. And last Friday night, he
gained a season-high 106 yards on the ground.
I worked a lot on my speed in the off-season,
Heneghan said of his rushing performance.
So its cool to see it pay off. It was pretty fun.
I think its nice to see all the hard work you
put in during the week does pay off nicely dur-
ing the game, he said. So, when we put up
numbers, yes theyre nice, but the win is more
important. But it is pretty cool as offense to
say, yeah, we got that many points or had that
many yards.
With the numbers Heneghan has already put
up (43 of 70, 813 yards, 10 touchdowns, only
one interception), plus his obvious skill set,
there are those saying No. 12 has the makeup
of a Division I quarterback which isnt
something Menlo QBs are foreign to.
I appreciate that praise, Heneghan said,
but I still have a lot to work on. Its sort of my
goal, to be a Division I player. But that takes a
lot of hard work so every day I just have to
keep working and getting better to achieve
that.
Im denitely aware of it, Heneghan said
about the Menlo QB legacy, [theyre] the
guys that Ive watched in middle school and
high school. But I dont think of it as pressure,
its more of, it motivates our entire offense to
do well because we know what weve done in
the past and it gives us something to live up
to.

San Francisco. While both teams are in huge
holes and the odds are long, I rather take my
chances with the team that has showed some
spark and some verve since the playoffs start-
ed.
***
San Franciscos inability to hit home runs
at AT&T Park has come into stark contrast.
Its not that AT&T Park is a graveyard for
home runs, apparently its only a cemetery
for the Giants. Cincinnatis power has been
dismissed as inated because they play in a
bandbox of a stadium.
Turns out, the Reds can hit bombs any-
where and the Giants are who we thought
they were: a team that struggles to hit home
runs.
While the homer has been devalued in
baseball as a way to distance the game from
the Steroids Era, the home run can be a pow-
erful weapon in the playoffs, particularly in
the mental game. Given runs are usually at a
premium in the playoffs, scoring one on just
a single hit can be powerfully deating. What
Giants fan didnt drop his head when Matt
Cain hung a curveball to Brandon Phillips,
who parked it in the bleachers? That was like
a gutshot, from which the Giants never seem
to recover.
Just like everything else in the playoffs is
magnied, hitting one deep draws the bright-
est spotlight.
***
KNBR 1050s Damon Bruce said on his
radio show Monday afternoon Tim
Lincecums dad, Chris Lincecum, was none-
to-thrilled about his son being used out of the
bullpen in the Giants 9-0 loss Sunday in
Game 2 of the National League Division
Series against the Reds.
To me, using Lincecum in relief means
San Franciscos brass spared Lincecum the
indignity of being left off the playoff roster
entirely. Its either work whenever youre
called upon starting or relieving or
dont play at all.
Thats how bad things were Lincecum this
year. He is the 2012 version of Barry Zito in
2010. The Giants gave him every chance to
prove he was going to be the 2010 version
but, given his last start of the season, when
the Dodgers slapped him around, the Giants
could not take the chance of getting 2012
Lincecum in a playoff spot.
Publicly, it was reported Lincecum said all
the right things about being asked to come
out of the bullpen. And given the season he
had, he should be humbled.
I dont know how much of his inner
thoughts Tim Lincecum shares with his
father, but at this point no one has the right to
complain. He gave the Giants his 2012 body
of work and it was subpar. Learn from it and
move on. If nothing else, this should give
Lincecum the extra edge to come back and
be the Timmy of old next season.
***
Hunter Pence has not looked comfortable
in a Giants uniform since they acquired him
from Philadelphia at the trade deadline. Hes
been anxious at the plate since August and
that hasnt changed in the playoffs.
But that doesnt mean I think the Giants
should get rid of him. On the contrary, I
think San Francisco should get him locked
up as soon as possible. I think once he knows
hes going to be staying, hell nally relax.
Pence hasnt hit for a high average since
his stint in San Francisco began, but he has
driven a couple dozen runs, so he tends to
come through in the clutch more often than
not. Between Philadelphia and San
Francisco, Pence combined for 24 home runs
and more than 100 RBIs. The only other
player with those numbers on the squad is
Buster Posey, no else even comes close.
With all the talk about bringing Melky
Cabrera back for his offense, the Giants need
to focus their attention more on bringing
Pence back. Similar numbers, without the
baggage.

NEW YORK Jozy Altidore
was dropped Monday from the U.S.
roster for a pair of critical World
Cup qualiers after disappointing
U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann in
games and practice over the last
year.
Klinsmann instead selected
Seattles Eddie Johnson and San
Joses Alan Gordon to join Clint
Dempsey, Herculez Gomez and
Landon Donovan as attacking play-
ers on his 24-man roster for games
at Antigua and Barbuda on Friday
and home against Guatemala on
Oct. 16.
Seeking their seventh straight
World Cup appearance, the
Americans face likely elimination
unless they get at least four points.
The U.S., Guatemala and Jamaica
all have 2-1-1 records with seven
points, and only the top two teams
in the group advance to next years
regional nals.
I communicated with Jozy that I
was not happy about his latest per-
formances with us, maybe even over
the last 14 months, Klinsmann said
during a conference call from
Miami. I think Jozy can do much,
much better, and the reason why
hes not coming in is mainly about
the performances in Jamaica and at
home, also in training. Also certain
things that went on through the
May-June camp.
Klinsmann also said Donovans
left knee injury sustained Saturday
while playing for the Los Angeles
Galaxy did not appear to be serious
and that midelder Jermaine Jones
left ankle injury was minor.
The decision to drop Altidore was
the most signicant. The 22-year-
old has nine goals in 10 games this
season for AZ Alkmaar in the
Netherlands and is tied for the
Dutch league lead with eight goals.
But he was ineffective in the home-
and-home games with Jamaica.
Altidore has 13 goals in 51 inter-
national appearances but none since
Novembers exhibition at Slovenia.
He arrived late at the May-June
camp when his club cited FIFA reg-
ulations and blocked him from
reporting on time.
Altidore off U.S. roster
for World Cupqualifiers
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
Arian Foster ran for 152 yards and a
touchdown, and the Houston Texans
stayed unbeaten by defeating the
New York Jets for the rst time in
team history, hanging on for a 23-17
victory Monday night.
With a chance to lead the Jets on a
winning drive, Mark Sanchez was
intercepted by Kareem Jackson on a
pass that tipped off the hands of Jeff
Cumberland with 1:51 remaining
and the Texans (5-0) joined the
Atlanta Falcons as the NFLs only
teams without a loss.
The Jets (2-3) were heavy
underdogs after coming off a 34-0
loss to San Francisco last week,
but made a game of it. Backup
quarterback Tim Tebow got the
crowd fired up at times throughout
the game, including running for a
first down on a fake punt, but had
little impact otherwise.
Houston also overcame a 100-
yard kickoff return by Joe
McKnight that cut the Jets decit to
20-14.
Orioles beat Yankees
3-2 to even ALDS at 1-all
BALTIMORE Rookie Wei-Yin
Chen outpitched 40-year-old Andy
Pettitte, and the Baltimore Orioles
beat the New York Yankees 3-2
Monday night to even their AL divi-
sion series at one game apiece.
Chris Davis drove in two runs for
the Orioles, who used the same for-
mula that got them into the postsea-
son for the rst time in 15 years: a
magnicent bullpen and an ability
to win tight games.
Baltimore was 29-9 in one-run
decisions during the regular season
and 74-0 when leading after seven
innings.

HEALTH
By Mike Stobbe
NEW YORK As many as 13,000
people received steroid shots suspected
in a national meningitis outbreak, health
ofcials said Monday. But its not clear
how many are in danger.
Ofcials dont how many of the shots
may have been contaminated with
meningitis-causing fungus. And the g-
ure includes not only those who got
them in the back for pain who are
most at risk but also those who got
the shots in other places, like knees and
shoulders.
There was no breakdown on the num-
ber of back injections, said Curtis Allen,
a spokesman for the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. Those injected
in joints are not believed to be at risk for
meningitis, he said.
The number of people sickened in the
outbreak reached 105 on Monday.
Deaths rose to eight, with another fatali-
ty in Tennessee, the CDC said.
Tennessee has the most cases, followed
by Michigan, Virginia, Indiana, Florida,
Maryland, Minnesota, North Carolina
and Ohio.
Investigators suspect a steroid medica-
tion made by a specialty pharmacy may
be to blame. About 17,700 single-dose
vials of the steroid were sent to 23 states.
Inspectors found at least one sealed vial
contaminated with fungus, and tests
were being done on other vials.
The rst known case of the rarely seen
fungal meningitis was diagnosed last
month in Tennessee. The steroid maker,
New England Compounding Center of
Framingham, Mass., recalled the drug,
and over the weekend recalled every-
thing else it makes.
While there is no indication at this
time of any contamination in other
NECC products, this recall is being
taken as a precautionary measure, the
company said in a statement.
Meningitis is an inammation of the
lining of the brain and spinal cord, and a
back injection would put any contami-
nant in more direct contact with that lin-
ing.
Symptoms on meningitis include
severe headache, nausea, dizziness and
fever. The CDC said many of the cases
have been mild and some people had
strokes. Symptoms have been appearing
between one and four weeks after
patients got the shots.
A Michigan man whose wifes death
was linked to the outbreak said Monday
that he, too, was treated with steroids
from one of the recalled batches.
Not only have I lost my wife, but Im
watching the clock to see if anything
develops, George Cary said, as friends
and family gathered for his wifes wake
in Howell, 60 miles northwest of
Detroit.
Up to 13,000 got suspect steroid shots; risk uncertain

NEW YORK As criticism of sugary
sodas intensies, Coke, Pepsi and Dr Pepper
are rolling out new vending machines that
will put calorie counts right at your ngertips.
The move comes ahead of a regulation that
would require restaurant chains and vending
machines to post the information as early as
next year, although the specics for comply-
ing with the requirement are still being
worked out.
Theyre seeing the writing on the wall and
want to say that its corporate responsibility,
said Mike Jacobson, executive director of the
Center for Science in the Public Interest,
which advocates for food safety and nutrition.
Still, he noted that it was an important step
forward. Currently, people dont think about
calories when they go up to a vending
machine, he said. Having the calories right
on the button will help them make choices.
The American Beverage Association, which
represents Coca-Cola Co., PepsiCo Inc. and
Dr Pepper Snapple Group Inc., said the calo-
rie counts will be on the buttons people press
to select a drink. Vending machines will also
feature small decals, such as Calories Count:
Check Then Choose.
The vending machines will launch in
Chicago and San Antonio municipal buildings
in 2013 before appearing nationally.
Without providing specics, the American
Beverage Association said the machines will
also boost the availability of lower- and zero-
calorie drinks.
We have market research that says con-
sumers really like this they like choice,
they like the ability to make choices, said
Susan Neely, president of the industry group.
A mock-up of a new machine provided by
Coca-Cola showed 20-ounce bottles of its
flagship drink and Sprite inside vending
machines, with labels on the buttons stating
240 calories.
The soda industry has been under re for
fueling rising obesity rates. Last month, New
York City approved a rst-in-the-nation plan
to prohibit the sale of sugary drinks over 16
ounces in the citys restaurants, movie the-
aters and stadiums.
Notably, the beverage industry fought
aggressively to ght the ban and hasnt ruled
out taking legal action to stop it from taking
effect this spring.
This November, voters in Richmond, Calif.
will also decide whether to approve a penny-
per-ounce tax on sugary drinks.
The decision to post calorie information
follows the Supreme Courts decision this
summer to uphold President Barack Obamas
health care overhaul, which includes a regula-
tion that would require restaurant chains and
with more than 20 locations and vending
operators with more than 20 machines to post
calorie information.
McDonalds Corp. also announced last
month that it would begin posting calorie
information on its menus nationwide. Like the
soda industry, the fast-food giant said it was a
voluntary decision and not spurred by the
pending requirement.
In addition to public health concerns, soft
drink makers are dealing with shifting con-
sumer habits. Soda consumption per person
has been declining in the U.S. since 1998,
according to the Beverage Digest. The decline
is partly the result of the growing number of
options such as avored waters, bottled teas
and sports drinks which Coke, Pepsi and
Dr Pepper also make.
As a result, Coke, Pepsi and Dr Pepper are
focusing on
devel opi ng
more diet
drinks, as
well as
e x p a n d i n g
into other
drinks to
reduce their
reliance on
sodas.
There is no
timetable for
when all
v e n d i n g
machines will
be converted.
Coke, Pepsi
and Dr
Pepper often
work with
t hi r d- pa r t y
operators to
p r o v i d e
drinks in
v e n d i n g
ma c h i n e s ;
Neely said the
c o mp a n i e s
will work
with those
outside opera-
tors to convert
all machines
over time.
Ve n d i n g
machines account for about 13 percent of
sales volume, a gure that has remained rela-
tively unchanged in recent years, according to
Beverage Digest.
Soda consumption is often
identied for playing a role
in rising obesity rates,
although other factors such
as a lack of physical activity
and overeating also con-
tribute.
Last month, the New
England Journal of Medicine
published a decades-long
study of more than 33,000
Americans that
showed sugary
beverages interact
with genes that
affect weight,
meaning they are
especially harmful
to people who are
hereditarily pre-
disposed to weight
gain.
Bonnie Sashin, who works
as a communications direc-
tor for a nonprofit in
Brookline, Mass., says she
stays away from sugary
drinks, limiting herself to a
can of Diet Dr Pepper or
Diet Coke about twice a
month. But she thought the
move to display calorie
information on vending
machines was a positive
development.
Anything that helps us be
more educated about calories is a good thing,
Sashin said.

NEW YORK Two scientists from differ-
ent generations won the Nobel Prize in medi-
cine Monday for the groundbreaking discov-
ery that cells in the body can be repro-
grammed into completely different kinds,
work that reflects the mechanism behind
cloning and offers an alternative to using
embryonic stem cells.
The work of British researcher John
Gurdon and Japanese scientist Shinya
Yamanaka who was born the year Gurdon
made his discovery holds hope for treating
diseases like Parkinsons and diabetes by
growing customized tissue for transplant.
And it has spurred a new generation of lab-
oratory studies into other illnesses, including
schizophrenia, which may lead to new treat-
ments.
Basically, Gurdon, 79, and Yamanaka, 50,
showed how to make the equivalent of embry-
onic stem cells without the ethical questions
those very versatile cells pose, a promise sci-
entists are now scrambling to fulll.
Once created, these blank slate cells can
be nudged toward developing into other cell
types. Skin cells can ultimately be trans-
formed into brain cells, for example.
Just last week, scientists reported turning
skin cells from mice into eggs that produced
baby mice, a possible step toward new fertili-
ty treatments.
Gurdon and Yamanaka performed coura-
geous experiments that challenged scientic
opinion, said Doug Melton, co-director of the
Harvard Stem Cell Institute.
Their work shows ... that while cells might
be specialized to do one thing, they have the
potential to do something else, Melton said.
It really lays the groundwork for all the
excitement about stem cell biology.
Another Harvard stem cell researcher, Dr.
George Daley said, I dont think anybody is
surprised by the award announcement. The
fact that these two share it together is
inspired.
In announcing the $1.2 million award, the
Nobel committee at Stockholms Karolinska
Institute said the work has revolutionized
our understanding of how cells and organisms
develop.
Gurdon showed in 1962 that DNA from
specialized cells of tadpoles, like skin or
intestinal cells, could be used to clone more
tadpoles. In 1997, the same process led to the
cloning of Dolly the sheep, showing it would
also work in mammals.
Gurdon told reporters in London that at the
time of his discovery, it had no obvious ther-
apeutic benet at all. ... It was almost 50 years
before the value the potential value of
that basic scientic research came to light.
Forty-four years after Gurdons discovery,
in 2006, Yamanaka and his team moved
beyond tadpoles. They showed that a surpris-
ingly simple recipe could turn mouse skin
cells back into primitive cells, which in turn
could be prodded into different kinds of
mature cells. The work was later repeated
with human cells.
In theory those primitive cells are blank
slates like embryonic stem cells that can
be turned into any cell in the body.
Turning a skin cell into a stem cell takes
weeks in a lab. Scientists introduce two to
four genes that turn the cells own genes on
and off. Its a little like rebooting a computer,
changing the cell from running the collection
of genes that make it a skin cell into using
another set that make it a stem cell.
Gurdon, who said his ambitions to become
a scientist were dismissed as completely
ridiculous by his headmaster when he was in
his teens, has served as a professor of cell
biology at Cambridge Universitys
Magdalene College. He is currently at the
Gurdon Institute in Cambridge, which he
founded.
Yamanaka worked at the Gladstone
Institute in San Francisco and Nara Institute
of Science and Technology in Japan. He is
currently at Kyoto University and also afli-
ated with the Gladstone Institute. Yamanaka
is the rst Japanese scientist to win the Nobel
medicine award since 1987.
Asked how he planned to celebrate, Gurdon
said he was invited to drinks at 6 oclock.
I intend to attend those drinks, he said
dryly.
He described his skepticism when rst get-
ting the congratulatory call from Stockholm,
saying that the call came from someone in
Sweden, and your immediate reaction is: Is
this right? Is it true or is it someone pulling
your leg?
Yamanaka told Japanese broadcaster NHK
that he was at home doing chores on Monday
when he got the call from Stockholm.
Nobel awarded for stem cell, early cloning work
WHO WON?
Britains John Gurdon, 79, formerly
of Magdalene College of
Cambridge University and
currently with the Gurdon
Institute that he founded, and
Japans Shinya Yamanaka, 50, who
worked at the Gladstone Institute
in San Francisco and Nara
Institute of Science and
Technology in Japan. He is now at
Kyoto University.
FOR WHAT?
In 1962, the year Yamanaka was
born, Gurdon showed that the
DNA from specialized cells of
frogs, like skin or intestinal cells,
could be used to generate new
tadpoles. In 2006, Yamanaka
showed that mature cells could
be turned back into primitive
cells, which in turn could be
prodded into different kinds of
mature cells.
SIGNIFICANCE
The discoveries showed that the
bodys mature, specialized cells
can be reprogrammed into stem
cells a discovery that scientists
hope to turn into new treatments
without destroying human
embryos. Scientists want to
harness the reprogramming to
create replacement tissues for
treating diseases such as
Parkinsons, cystic fibrosis and
diabetes and for studying the
roots of diseases in the laboratory.
WHAT THEY SAID
Yamanaka: We still have a lot of
work to do on our research, so I
was really surprised. I have two
feelings, gratitude and also
responsibility. Even though we
have received this prize, we have
not really accomplished what
we need to. I feel a deep sense
of duty and responsibility.
Gurdon:
It is particularly pleasing to see
how purely basic research,
originally aimed at testing the
genetic identity of different cell
types in the body, has turned
out to have clear human health
prospects.

By Ian James and Frank Bajak
CARACAS, Venezuela During his re-
election campaign, President Hugo Chavez
promised to deepen the 21st century social-
ism that has meant an ever-greater state role in
the economy. That message won him a surpris-
ing 11-percentage point win in what many had
thought would be a tight race.
Still, hes set to start a fourth presidential
term under challenging economic circum-
stances. The governments free-spending ways,
bankrolling the generous social programs that
aided his re-election, may
be seriously crimped.
Chavez faces immediate
economic time bombs
beginning with a rapidly
expanding public debt, one
of Latin Americas highest
ination rates and a weak-
ening currency.
Many economists
believe Chavez will have
no choice but to devalue
the currency, the bolivar, by about half early
next year at the latest. That will make the
money in peoples pockets suddenly worth a
lot less and likely drive ination while putting
imported consumer goods out of reach for
poorer Venezuelans.
Hes going to have to deal with some very
basic, mundane capitalist things, like reducing
ination, which stands at 18 percent, said
Eduardo Gamarra, a Latin American studies
professor at Florida International University in
Miami.
Price controls and government subsidies for
basic foodstuffs have eased inationary pres-
sures but a major devaluation would drive
prices higher and could worsen scarcities,
economists say.
Investment in social issues is great, but he
needs to do other things as well that are going
to make that economy more productive, said
Gamarra.
Venezuelas economy grew by 5 percent this
year but only because of government spending,
primarily on raising salaries for many of the
countrys at least 2.4 million public employees
and paying for thousands of new homes that
Chavez is giving away, said Joao Pedro
Ribeiro, an economist at Roubini Global
Economics in New York.
We think the outlook for the short term is
very bleak, he said, with economic growth at
about 2 percent next year and ination spiking
to 30 percent.
Re-elected Chavez faces likely economic reckoning
countys job as the safety net provider tougher
and there just isnt enough money to ll every
need, they argued.
Everywhere we look people are looking at
us to help them out, said Adrienne Tissier,
president of the San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors.
But opponents say the county needs to get
its own house in order and rein in employee
costs before putting its hand out on Election
Day.
The county is overspending, said Harland
Harrison, chair of the Libertarian Party of San
Mateo County. The question is also where
the money is going to go.
The Board of Supervisors would have com-
plete say over how the proceeds are used
because it is a general tax and legally cant
mandate uses before the measure passes.
However, a staff report before the board
approved placing it before voters and the full
text of the measure offers some possibilities
public safety, parks, jail stafng, gang and
drug task forces and educational programs.
For instance, the need for housing, food and
shelter isnt lessening and the countys
youngest residents are most impacted, said
Michael Garb, advocate for childrens servic-
es and abuse prevention.
These children will be lost, he said.
Another possibility is using some of the rev-
enue to help Seton Medical Center in Daly
City with mandated seismic upgrades to stave
off closure in 2020. Seton provides a signi-
cant number of long-term care beds for Medi-
Cal populations and losing them would have a
domino effect on other health providers,
including the San Mateo Medical Center
which is already challenged by increasing
client loads, waiting lists and an aging popu-
lation, said Maya Altman, CEO of the Health
Plan of San Mateo.
Altman said roughly 40 percent of the coun-
tys safety net care is provided by Seton.
Tissier isnt sure how a partnership between
the county and Seton would work but Altman
said she wants a long list of commitments.
Harrison said Seton, as a member of
Dignity Health, can limit services and restrict
doctors based on religious beliefs. Public
money has no place there, he said.
The pro-Measure A camp has raised just
shy of $1 million of which more than
$765,000 is from Seton Medical Center.
If approved, the measure would increase the
sales tax in San Mateo County to 8.75 percent
from 8.25 percent except in the city of San
Mateo. The city of San Mateos sales tax
would rise to 9 percent from the current rate
of 8.5 percent due to a previous voter-
approved measure. Half Moon Bay residents
will also vote on a half-cent sales tax measure
this November. Passage of the tax measure
requires a simple majority and could not begin
before April 1, 2013.
The request comes on the heels of a trio of
tax measures on the June ballot to fund coun-
ty services. Voters rejected two of the tax pro-
posals but passed a 2.5 percent tax on car
rentals, which is bringing in an estimated $8
million a year.
But while those taxes were aimed at visitors
to San Mateo County, Measure A is focused
on residents. The money cant be taken by the
state, ensuring that the funds stay local, pro-
ponents point out.
Tissier and the others dismissed arguments
by the Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association
the tax is regressive, hitting hardest the wal-
lets of the low-income residents it aims to
help. Garb said the majority of that popula-
tions expenses are non-taxed items like food
and Tissier pointed out that this group will
also benet from the tax when the proceeds
are spent on safety net services.
Harrison disagrees.
Dont give it to them and take it back just
so it looks like were giving them more, he
said.
Harrison and the SVTA believe county
supervisors would rather taxpayers shoulder
the fiscal woes rather than annoy public
employee unions or tighten their own belt.
The average full-time county employee plus
benets is more than $144,000 and warnings
of cuts to crucial emergency services is akin to
blackmail, according to the ballot argument
against Measure A.
If the measure passes, ofcials will be back
for more in the future, opponents state.
But Tissier and the others say the county
has cut more than 500 positions, frozen
salaries since 2008 and ask employees to pay
more for health care.
Were not just putting our hand out,
Tissier said. Weve done a lot of work at
home.
Not every county supervisor was on board
with placing a half-cent sales tax on the ballot,
though.
In July, Supervisor Dave Pine was the lone
holdout, instead unsuccessfully suggesting a
quarter-cent sales tax.

Starrs pumpkin appeared to be the clear win-
ner. If it were to fall or crack just before get-
ting weighed, it would ruin the chances of
knowing for sure. Thankfully, the massive
pumpkin made it to the scale safely.
Oh my god. That was scary as heck, the
45-year-old from Pleasant Hill, Ore. said after
pumpkin weighed in at 1,775 pounds a new
record for California. At $6 per pound, Starr
will take home $10,650 for winning the
weigh-off.
Its Starrs third time at the top of pumpkin-
growing competition. He began growing
pumpkins in 2005 as a friendly competition
with his brother. Starr rst won in 2007 then
came back to take the top spot in 2008 with a
1,528-pounder. This years win is special as it
comes with a winners jacket a new addi-
tion for the 39th annual weigh-off.
Staff said his 9-year-old daughter Danika
picked the seed for this years pumpkin and
was his growing partner.
Shes my good luck charm, Starr said of his
daughter before the weight was revealed.
The key to the familys success was good
soil, chicken poop and luck. There was also a
lot of time dedicated to the gourd. Danika
gave up a few camping trips so they could tend
to the giant pumpkin. With the win, she felt
the sacrice was worth it.
Second place also came from Pleasant Hill,
Ore. Steve Daletas cut his 1,521-pound pump-
kin off the vine at 7:30 p.m. Saturday. Starr
credited Daletas as teaching him the ropes to
pumpkin growing.
John Hawkley of Napa rounded out the top
three with a 1,480-pound gourd. It also took
the biggest pumpkin in California.
For the second year in a row a contender
was disqualified. Richard Westervelt of
Granite Bay came with a 1,625-pound pump-
kin. Unfortunately, the gourd was found to
have a hole that went to the center of the
pumpkin, making it ineligible.
Its terrible, Westervelt said of the dis-
qualication.
There were two more winning pumpkins
Monday, both were grown in California.
Farmer John Muller of Half Moon Bay won in
the Coastside division with a 480-pound
pumpkin. Eric Carlson of Portola Valley won
the most beautiful pumpkin category with a
vibrant orange gourd that weighed 380
pounds. Called Eye Candy, the pumpkin is
Carlsons fourth to take home the title of most
beautiful.
The weigh-off began in 1974 when ofcials
from Half Moon Bay challenged Circleville,
Ohio which then proclaimed itself
Pumpkin Capital of the World to a
weigh-off competition in search of the worlds
biggest pumpkin. John Minaidis of Half Moon
Bay won that year with a 132-pound pumpkin.
Half Moon Bay is now the World Pumpkin
Capital. In 2001, the pumpkins began tipping
the scale over 1,000 pounds. This is the sec-
ond year in a row that a winner has broken the
California record. The current world record is
2,009 pounds, grown by Ron Wallace from
Rhode Island.
Half Moon Bay Art and Pumpkin Festival
will be held this weekend from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
on Main Street. There will be live music,
entertainment on three stages, food, special
attractions and contests. Winning pumpkins
will also be on display. For more information

er for the site and will then enter into an exclu-
sive negotiation agreement with the city for 90
days.
Much of the property is on steep slopes and
is considered undevelopable and the remain-
der of the open space will be connected to
Belmonts trail system in the hills.
About 22 acres are suitable to develop on
Bishop Road and Marsten and Ralston
avenues.
The city proposes to sell off a portion of the
property for homes and to use some of those
proceeds to purchase adjacent open space.
Low-density, single-family homes are pro-
posed for the land.
Mingstan Development proposes building
11 homes in the area, four on Bishop Road,
four on Marsten Avenue and three others in
the area.
Tonights presentations will provide back-
ground on the developers, including complet-
ed projects, experience with building homes
on hillsides and their nancial capability to
coordinate and complete the project.
The property has a total of 87 plots includ-
ed in the purchase that the city bid on in an
auction held by the U.S. Marshals Service in
2009.
The city paid $1.4 million on four groups of
property, which included taxes and fees.
Selling some of the plots for homes will
help pay for the original purchase of the land.
The Belmont City Council meets for the
study session at 6:30 p.m., tonight, City Hall,
1 Twin Pines Lane, Belmont. The regular
meeting starts at 7:30 p.m.

Livermore heard from two prosecution wit-
nesses at a preliminary hearing before find-
ing insufficient evidence to try her on a sin-
gle count of willful cruelty to a child likely
to produce great bodily injury.
The primary difference in evidence pre-
sented to Livermore and the jury was a
medical doctor with expertise in child
abuse, said District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.
The judge acted on the facts he had but
we very strongly disagreed and developed
the case with the use of an expert. We then
decided to go with the grand jury rather
than a preliminary hearing to avoid any
delays, Wagstaffe said.
The indictment sidesteps the need for a
preliminary hearing, moving Moore
straight to Superior Court to set a trial date.
The endangerment charge means a person
is accused of acting negligently in a way
that is likely to result in physical injury or
death rather than acting more knowingly,
such as a deliberate blow. The charge car-
ries up to five years in prison.

MONEY
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2012
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you believe your
schemes arent working out as well as they should, it
might be best to revise your plan of action in favor of
something else that you know will work.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Do a little extra prob-
ing, if thats what you believe it takes, to fgure out a
solution to a problem. Youll be glad that you kept at
this particular dilemma.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Be extremely
careful that you do not prematurely rush to judgment,
especially if you have to make a critical decision.
Weigh and balance every facet of the situation.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Its one of those days
when it might be wiser to listen to your sentiments
rather than your logic when dealing with some co-
workers. Your heart could be smarter than your brain.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Sometimes when we
try too hard not to make a mistake, it causes us to
make foolish errors. Thus, the smart thing to do is to
relax and just do the best that you can.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- It is likely to take solid
commitment on your part in order to effectively com-
plete something. If you allow outside factors to steer
you off course, youll accomplish nothing.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Think for yourself, and
dont be afraid to let others know youll be doing just
that. If you dont, you could get caught up in support-
ing a situation that you fnd distasteful.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- There are a lot of things
you can do yourself instead of paying someone else
to do them. However, know your limitations and dont
attempt the impossible.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Dont make winning
unduly important when engaged in competitive
activities with friends. The focus should be on fun at
all times.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Instead of moaning and
groaning about a bad hand that you believe has been
dealt you, take your mind off yourself and try doing
something purely for enjoyments sake.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Dont confuse self-doubt
with shrewd analysis. The latter is letting a construc-
tive mind do the thinking, while the former invites
failure.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your rewards are likely
to be proportionate to what you achieve, unless you
fail to get off the ground by listening to a negative
associate who discourages you from the start.

WORLD 31
By Elizabeth A. Kennedy
BEIRUT Syrias cross-border attacks on
Turkey in the past week look increasingly like
they could be an intentional escalation meant
to send a clear message to Ankara and
beyond, that the crisis is simply too explosive
to risk foreign military intervention.
With Turkey eager to defuse the crisis, the
spillover of ghting is giving new life to a
longshot political solution, with the Turks
oating the idea of making President Bashar
Assads longtime vice president, Farouk al-
Sharaa, interim leader if the president steps
aside.
A military option which would involve
foreign powers that already have expressed a
deep reluctance to getting involved in the cri-
sis is still not on the table, analysts say,
despite six consecutive days of Turkish retal-
iation against bombardment from inside
Syria.
Syria is aware that Turkey cannot go a step
further, said Ali Tekin, assistant professor of
International Relations at Ankaras Bilkent
University. The Turkish people dont want a
war and there are no vital national interests at
stake to warrant a war. Syria sees this.
The Syrian conict has taken a prominent
role in the U.S. presidential election at a time
when the U.S. and its allies have shown little
appetite for getting involved.
On Monday, Republican candidate Mitt
Romney said the U.S. should work with other
countries to arm the Syrian rebels, allowing
the rebels to drive Assad from power them-
selves. Romney did not call for the U.S. to
directly arm the Syrian rebels.
The most recent are-up between Syria and
Turkey started Wednesday, when a shell red
from Syria slammed into a house in the
Turkish border village of Akcakale, killing
two women and three children. That set off
the most serious and prolonged eruption of
violence along the frontier since the uprising
began nearly 19 months ago.
Although it was not clear whether
Wednesdays shelling was intentional, Turkey
responded swiftly by ring back and conven-
ing parliament for a vote that authorized fur-
ther cross-border military operations if neces-
sary.
