health insurance exchange led the
nation in enrollments during its
inaugural month of operation, but
the 35,000 tentative sign-ups
announced Wednesday represented
just a fraction of the eventual
goal.
The rst enrollment numbers to
be released under the federal health
overhaul also raised as many ques-
tions as they answered.
Covered California, the agency
steering the health overhaul in the
state, aims to sign-up as many as
2.2 million people by the end of
next year, either in private insur-
ance coverage or Medicaid servic-
es for the needy. For those seek-
ing coverage on the open market,
the agency will need to quickly
escalate enrollments to hit that
target.
The financial success of the
health overhaul relies on
enrolling millions of healthy,
young people across the country.
The gures released Wednesday by
the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services did not disclose
demographic details showing who
was signing on, but Covered
California officials said those
seeking coverage in the state dur-
ing the rst month of open enroll-
ment were generally older and had

holiday boutique. Decorations
themselves go on sale, along with
ornaments and custom wreathes.
Each room has a unique theme,
including the dining room, which
looks like a farmers market.

Woman discusses
forced exorcism allegations
STOCKTON A California woman
whose husband and son are accused of
kidnapping her to perform an exorcism
says they made her drink oil and told
her she had three devils inside her.
Forty-one-year-old Blanca Farias
told News10 in Sacramento she was
held down in the backseat of a pickup
truck Saturday after being picked up in
Stockton.
Her husband, 42-year-old Jose
Magana-Farias, and son, 20-year-old
Victor Farias, are scheduled to appear
in court Wednesday. It was not immedi-
ately clear whether they had attorneys.
Blanca Farias said she was taken to a
church, where the father and son and a
pastor bathed her in oil that they made
her drink.
She said the pastor told her she was
possessed as she threw up. The pastor
is not expected to face charges.
She said she was able to text her
boyfriend, and authorities were wait-
ing when she returned home.
Council candidate loses
support due to rap video
SAN BERNARDINO A San
Bernardino city council candidate is
drawing some ak after music videos
he recorded have turned up that critics
say promote violence and crime.
The San Bernardino Police Ofcers
Association recently pulled its
endorsement of Anthony Jones who is
in a runoff election for a council seat.
The organization said it received the
music videos in which some of the
lyrics focus on violence and a gunshot
sound effect is heard.
The 23-year-old Jones doesnt regret
making the videos, one of which was
recorded two years ago. He said he
wouldnt make similar videos now
because hes involved in local politics
and didnt appear too worried about
losing an endorsement.
Jones said he had been open about
his past in the music business and the
video had been made in collaboration
with others.
Bones of at least two
people found in desert graves
VICTORVILLE Authorities say the
bones of at least two people have been
found at what appear to be shallow
graves in Southern Californias
Mojave Desert.
The San Bernardino County Sheriffs
Department says a motorcyclist
reported nding skeletal remains on
Monday near Victorville. Coroners
ofcials conrmed theyre human.
Sheriff s investigators returned
to the area Tuesday and Wednesday
and dug up what appeared to be a
shallow grave. Authorities say they
found the remains of more than one
person but its unclear how many,
nor their age or gender.
Investigators say the remains appear
to have been there for quite some time.
The Daily Press of Victorville says
two and possibly three shallow graves
are in the area near the Interstate 15
freeway.
Victorville is about 60 miles north-
east of Los Angeles.
Kai the Hitchhiker indicted
on New Jersey murder charge
ELIZABETH, N.J. A man who
gained Internet fame as Kai the
Hatchet-Wielding Hitchhiker has
been indicted on murder charges in
connection with the beating death of
an elderly New Jersey man.
Union County prosecutors say 25-
year-old Caleb McGillvary could face a
life sentence if hes convicted. The
indictment was handed up Wednesday
by a county grand jury.
McGillvary is accused of killing 74-
year-old lawyer Joseph Galfy, whose
body was found May 13 in his Clark
home. Authorities say McGillvary and
Galfy met in New York City and
McGillvary stayed at Galfys home.
McGillvary was arrested in
Philadelphia several days after Galfys
body was found.
The Canadian gained a measure of
online fame in February after interven-
ing in an attack on a California utility
worker in which he described using a
hatchet to fend off a further attack.

A vote on dissolving the Millbrae
Business Advisory Committee was
pulled from City Councils agenda
Tuesday night, but committee mem-
bers still came to speak about why
they believe the group is necessary.
Vice Mayor Wayne Lee, liaison to
the committee, asked for the item to
be taken off, while Councilwoman
Marge Colapietro was frustrated with
the removal since she said many
members of the committee attended
and wanted to speak. The council first
discussed the possibility of nixing
the committee in early October
because of lack of productivity from
the group, a number of councilmem-
bers said.
Members were allowed to speak dur-
ing the meetings public comment
section.
Committee member Matt
Fitzgibbons said the members care
about the community in general and
six of the members came to the meet-
ing with the intention to speak. Until
two years ago, city staff would advise
the committee on new projects and
directions, Fitzgibbons said. Now,
this is rare or nonexistent, he added.
The issues and topics we cover
were expanded by Lee, he said. The
council should readvise the commit-
tee with an updated purview. We cant
be effective if were not privy to city
plans. Weve been managed through
the process of change, rather than
choosing our own future.
Why change the committee only to
dissolve it, Fitzgibbons asked.
Lee later said that he took the item
off the agenda to reconstitute it, per-
haps making the committee smaller
to keep it focused. The committee has
problems getting together and stay-
ing on the agenda, he said.
I dont know what they want now,
he said. The focus was on the econo-
my of the city and I was hoping to
take off to discuss with them person-
ally. It sounds like they just want a
downtown committee. I will meet
with the committee and discuss how
we can create a sustainable economy.
The committee is intended to con-
sist of 10 members who serve a term
of four years and may either reside or
work in Millbrae. The committee was
established to guide the implementa-
tion of the America Downtown Action
Agenda and advise the council on
downtown issues. Members may be
reappointed to additional terms and
serve without compensation. The
committee has struggled to reach a
quorum because only eight of these
seats are filled and the rest should be
filled, Fitzgibbons said.
Councilwoman Anne Oliva was on the
committee, but can no longer serve in
her capacity as a councilmember.
We are volunteers, he said.
Maybe there does need to be stricter
enforcement of attendance.
There was a particularly tense
moment when committee member Dan
Rogers addressed Lee as a councilman.
Vice Mayor Lee, thank you, Lee
replied.
Lee later said he was surprised he
was singled out on the issue.
They obviously dont want me as a
liaison anymore, he later said.
Rogers said he was irked by Lees
comments about staff spending too
much time on the committee, noting
that its only an hour and a half of
staff time a month versus eight volun-
teers time. Ed Banayat, president and
CEO of the Millbrae Chamber of
Commerce, and Community
Development Director Farhad
Mortazavi provide assistance to the
committee. Mortazavi advocated for
changes or dissolution of the commit-
tee at a past meeting.
A formal presentation would have
been better than personal attacks on a
councilmember, said Mayor Gina
Papan in response to the members
comments.
Other committee members came to
talk at the meeting. Members
Desmond Yuen, Karen Steffey and
Vernon Bruce said that the group is
positive overall.
In the past weve gotten great
information from council liaisons,
Bruce said. Its been lacking this last
year. In the past, we had funding from
the Redevelopment Agency. I would-
nt vote to dissolve this committee.
Additionally, Chair Harry Aubright
asked for the group not to be abol-
ished. He has been part of the com-
mittee since 2001.
We may not be perfect, but were
here to protect what we think is need-
ed for the community, he said. We
need to be able to work with city con-
sultants. Millbrae certainly has some
needs.
The committee meets at 8:30 a.m.
on the fourth Wednesday of each
month at the Millbrae Chamber of
Commerce.

Four Caltrain bridges in San Mateo are due
for an upgrade, so the transit agency is work-
ing with the North Central neighborhood to
ensure construction goes smoothly and dis-
ruption is minimized.
Caltrain is hosting an informational pub-
lic meeting with the Home Association of
North Central San Mateo to assess the con-
cerns tomorrow at the Martin Luther King Jr.
Community Center. Members of HANSCM
understand the project is a necessity, howev-
er, they are concerned with what the brush
clearing will unearth, noise pollution, estab-
lishing property lines and general street
diversion issues including worker parking
and where equipment will be stored.
The bridges at Tilton, Monte Diablo, East
Santa Inez and East Poplar avenues are well
past their prime and are no longer seismical-
ly safe, said Caltrain spokeswoman Jayme
Ackemann. Replacing the 110-year-old
structures will cost approximately $31.2
million is estimated to take about two years.
Caltrain will begin with clearing the brush
surrounding the tracks in December and con-
struction is set to begin July 2014. Streets
will be closed in eight-week rotations begin-
ning at the end of 2015.
Caltrain is working with a technique it used
during the replacement of several bridges in
South San Francisco. The bridges are pre-
fabricated off-site, allowing Caltrain to
reduce its effect on the public, Ackemann
said.
Construction will primarily occur at night
or on weekends so as not to interrupt any
train schedules, Ackemann said. While this
keeps the needs of commuters in mind, HAN-
SCM board member Karen Jensen said hav-
ing her son awoken by construction noises
and bright lights shined into his bedroom at
night is jarring.
Caltrain will work with residents to mini-
mize the impact during construction to the
greatest degree possible. Once work begins
in December, workers will clear brush sur-
rounding the tracks by removing about 70
heritage trees and vegetation, Ackemann
said.
Residents still have questions and Jensen
said she isnt sure if the two 80-foot-tall
Monterey pine trees in her backyard adjacent
to the tracks near the Santa Inez Avenue
bridge will be removed. Its distressful for a
residents screening trees to be removed, she
said.
Caltrain said it will replant some trees after
the project is nalized, however, a concern is
what their removal will stir up, said HAN-
SCM Co-president Bertha Sanchez.
Critters like raccoons, opossums and rats
that live in the vegetation may be scared up
and dispersed into the surrounding neighbor-
hood, Sanchez said. Hopefully, Caltrain will
inform residents how they plan to mitigate
pest infestation at the meeting, Jensen said.
One of the major components of the proj-
ect is raising the bridges to account for
updated vehicle clearance regulations,
Ackemann said. Because of the close prox-
imity to downtown, delivery trucks frequent
the area and over the years shes witnessed
several trucks get stuck under the Tilton
Avenue bridge, Sanchez said. Extensive
measures are needed to free the trucks and its
quite a spectacle, Sanchez said. Raising
the height of the bridge will also allow for
emergency vehicles to more readily access
the surrounding neighborhoods, Ackemann
said.
But an unavoidable issue could be where
Caltrains right-of-way begins and ends.
Caltrain hasnt consistently maintained its
property lines throughout the years and resi-
dents may unknowingly have structures that
overlap, Jensen said.
Theyre keeping their cards tight about
their right-of-way and where exactly it lies
there are some people that apparently
may have a house or garage on [Caltrains]
right-of-way that have been standing there
for quite a long time, Jensen said.
This could result in a nancial burden on
homeowners who, as individuals, have little
recourse, Jensen said.
Overall, Caltrain has done a good job
reaching out to residents to work with them
and mitigate many of their concerns,
Sanchez and Jensen said, but they hope to be
given more denite answers tomorrow.
Caltrain will be meeting with residents at
6:30 p.m. at the King Center at 725 Monte
Diablo Ave. in Social Room B.

A former Daly City man accused of help-
ing a childhood friend and former lover mur-
der a teen acquaintance in 2001 before both
men went on the lam is guilty of rst-degree
murder and using a knife in the fatal stab-
bing, according to jurors who deliberated
three days before returning their verdict.
The decision means Reynaldo Maldonado,
34, will spend 25 years to life in prison for
the May 21, 2001, death of Quetzlcoatl Alba
in a storage unit turned teen hangout at the
Westlake Apartments. Jurors rejected a spe-
cial circumstance of lying in wait which
would have made Maldonado ineligible for
parole.
Maldonado was saddened by the verdict,
said defense attorney Paul Demeester, adding
that he assured his client he would seek a
new trial.
Prosecutor Jeff Finigan said he respected
the jurys verdict and, while he spoke with
them generally, they didnt specifically
address how they reached the decision.
Jurors returned the verdict late Tuesday and
it was read Wednesday afternoon, roughly
three days after they
began deliberating which
version of events to
believe the prosecu-
tions theory that
Maldonado participated in
Albas murder or the
defense contention that
friend Erick Morales
killed Alba before calling
Maldonado to hide the
bloody evidence.
Maldonado told jurors he complied out of
love for Morales and lied to Daly City police
because he feared his father.
Morales, 32, will stand trial next on Jan.
2. The two were arrested separately and
lengthy court wrangling over Maldonados
psychiatric evaluations also help keep the
prosecution separate.
Albas family was relieved by the convic-
tion but know they have another one to
go, Finigan said.
Amotive in Albas death was never clearly
offered to jurors and Finigan declined to the-
orize, citing the upcoming trial of Morales.
Finigan argued Maldonado held Alba down
while Morales stabbed him repeatedly in the
neck, arms and torso. Maldonado testied
Morales called him to the scene after killing
Alba and asked him to hide the knife, a cell-
phone and a sweatshirt. Both men were eyed
as suspects but each left Daly City shortly
after the murder. Maldonado eventually
ended up in Florida where, according to his
friend Mario Cajina, he confessed to the
killing and showed a photo taken of
Morales standing over Albas body.
Maldonado would later claim to have taken
the photograph as evidence of who commit-
ted the crime.
Cajina tipped off Daly City police who
found the buried items in the mens former
Daly City backyard. During trial, Demeester
contended Cajina lied to police about
Maldonados involvement because he was
angry at having been kicked out of their
shared home.
In 2007, authorities extradited Maldonado
who tried escaping his armed guards at San
Francisco International Airport by jumping
25 feet over a concrete railing while still
handcuffed.
In 2009, two years after Maldonados
arrest, Morales was apprehended after an
East Coast trafc stop revealed his identity.
Maldonados prosecution was then
delayed for four years as questions over
access to his psychiatric records wound
through the upper courts. Prosecutors want-
ed access to the evaluations because they
anticipated a psychiatric defense. Demeester
had argued it was privileged unless
Maldonado rst presented his own mental
health evidence but the California Supreme
Court ruled last year in favor of the prosecu-
tion. However, Forcum ruled in pretrial
motions the defense could not use evidence
of any mental disorder and upheld the deci-
sion after Maldonados testimony.
On Wednesday after the verdict was read,
Demeester said keeping the information of
lifelong brain impairment from jurors may
be one prong of his request for a new trial
and appeal.
He is in the borderline mentally retarded
range so had the jury heard that it may have
evaluated his testimony differently, evaluat-
ed his demeanor and statements to police
differently and may have been in a position
to consider everything differently,
Demeester said.
Maldonado and Morales are both in cus-
tody without bail.

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
It will be at least a week before sam-
ples taken from a Redwood City metal
recycling facility re are analyzed by
ofcials with the Bay Area Air Quality
Management District, which has the
authority to issue a public nuisance vio-
lation against the company should it
determine that the re contaminated
regional air quality.
BAAQMD spokesman Ralph
Borrmann said Wednesday that the dis-
trict took air samples from a monitoring
station in Redwood City two miles from
the scene of Sundays re at the Sims
Metal Management at 699 Seaport
Blvd. in the citys industrial sector.
The re, which ignited a heap of
crushed cars and other large material at
around 1:20 p.m., caused several agen-
cies to issue shelter-in-place alerts to
residents. Nobody was injured in the re
and ofcials say theyll never know
what ignited the pile of heavy recy-
clables.
With any recycling center that
breaks apart materials with machinery,
there will be heat generated by fric-
tion, said Redwood City Fire Marshal
Jim Palisi. Well never know the exact
ignition source its not like a build-
ing re theres no denite area of
ignition to pinpoint. But we know it
wasnt natural, not arson and not delib-
erately set, he said.
Fire crews from throughout the coun-
ty aided Redwood City re crews in bat-
tling the blaze, which took reghters
seven hours to control. The re was
extinguished at 6:10 a.m. Monday. All
health alerts were lifted around 6:20
a.m. Monday.
Palisi said there is a specic protocol
for ghting a re in a metal shredding
facility and due to the tidy manner in
which Sims segregates its recycling
piles, the re was easier to control.
We had good access, good water sup-
ply and because of the segregated piles,
it wasnt likely to spread to the other
piles, Palisi said.
On Sunday, due to the weather condi-
tions this time of year, the smoke was
trapped close to the ground, impacting
sensitive respiratory groups, Borrmann
said. An air quality sample taken that
day indicated a level of 39 micrograms
per cubic meter, four micrograms above
the federal standard of 35 micrograms
per cubic meter of particulate matter
allowed before an alert is issued.
By Monday, however, that number
had dropped, due in part to a weather
system.
As the smoke dissipated, it dropped
the increase in poor air quality was
related to the re, Borrmann said.
In April 2007, there was a re at the
same recycling center and the BAAQMD
was forced to levy a public nuisance vio-
lation due to the large quantities of con-
taminates that annoy or cause a nuisance
to the public, according to Borrmann.
The BAAQMD inspects and regulates
all shredding facilities for the dust emis-
sions that come off the shredder and has
broad authority in issuing violations if
any state or federal rules are broken,
Borrmann said.

Matthew Wilder Litfin
Matthew Wilder Litn, age 52, died
quietly in the hospital Oct. 28, 2013, in
San Mateo after a two-month battle with
pulmonary hypertension. Matt leaves
friends in San Mateo, Novato,
Davenport, Idyllwild, Santa Cruz and
long-ago Tahoe.
Matt was gregarious, vocal, cheerful,
energetic and always reaching out to help
anyone and everyone. Always a xer-
upper, he loved to reclaim, repair, modi-
fy and enhance all manner of autos, appliances, circuits,
even structures.
Matt was very much focused on living vigorously in the
now, very close in to his family and some special friends.
He had very discerning tastes in contemporary music. His
interest in ecology, his dystopian movie collection, his
special computer setups and other special events were
always on Matts regular beat.
We all were very disappointed he couldnt attend the
Americas Cup regatta, the celebrations and the entire
extravaganza in San Francisco last summer.
He will be missed by mother Patricia Litn and father
Robert Litn, his sister Katy Kuhn and Hugh Kuhn, along
with his whole extended family in the South Bay.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A South San Francisco man
accused of raping one of his girl-
friends half-sisters for eight years
and behaving inappropriately
with another and a neighbor girl
may not be t for trial, according
to his defense attorney.
Kyle Clifton Vogts attorney
raised the question of competency
the morning jury trial was to
begin. Criminal proceedings were
put on hold and two doctors
appointed to evaluate Vogts abili-
ty to aid in his own defense. Those
reports are due back Dec. 27.
If incompetent, Vogt will be
sent to a state hospital for treat-
ment. If instead the doctors nd
him competent, Vogt will stand
trial on several felonies that could
send him to prison for life.
Vogt, 38, has
pleaded not
guilty to 11
counts includ-
ing rape, con-
tinuous sexual
abuse of a child,
sending harmful
sexual matter to
a minor, six
counts of lewd
acts with a minor under 14 and two
counts of lewd acts with a minor
over 14 by someone more than 10
years older.
South San Francisco police
arrested Vogt in 2012 after report-
edly learning he had been carrying
on a sexual relationship with his
girlfriends half-sister starting
when the victim was 5. The girl
told her mom what was going on
when she turned 13, according to
prosecutors.
After being taken into custody,
Vogt was also accused of molest-
ing one of the girlfriends other
half-sisters between 2000 and
2012 along with a neighbor girl
who was the rst victims friend.
Those acts allegedly included
sending inappropriate texts, kiss-
ing and groping.
Vogt threatened some of girls
with bodily harm to keep them
from talking, police said.
He split his time between homes
in South San Francisco and Davis
where he lived with his 30-year-
old girlfriend. Her younger sisters
often visited the couple and peri-
odically lived with them in both
cities, according to South San
Francisco police.
He remains in custody without
bail.

More than a quarter of San
Mateo Countys registered voters
took time to cast a ballot Nov. 5,
according to final figures from
the Elections Office.
Chief Elections Officer Mark
Church had predicted turnout
around 24 percent for the off-year
races and with final ballots
counted Thursday the figure set-
tled at 25.39 percent, or 91,293
of the countys 359,535 regis-
tered voters. Just more than one-
fifth of voters were counted at the
end of Election Night.
The low turnout isnt surpris-
ing for elections officials
because non-presidential and
gubernatorial years are nearly
always weak.
The final data also showed that
a growing number of voter are
opting for absentee ballots
rather than physically heading to
a polling place. Vote by mail bal-
lots counted for 19.40 percent
while 5.88 percent were at
precincts and .11 percent were
cast at voting centers.
Now that the votes are counted
though there may be a recount
requested for the Burlingame City
Council race the Elections
Office will begin its 1 percent
manual tally in anticipation of
certifying the results in early
December. The tally confirms
that the election was properly
conducted.

SAN FRANCISCO University
of California President Janet
Napolitano proposed a tuition
freeze on Wednesday for the 2014-
2015 school year in her first
address to the Board of Regents.
The freeze was among four ideas
she presented at the meeting in
San Francisco that she said aim to
push the system into the future.
She also wants to make UC a
zero-net energy consumer by
2025; streamline community col-
lege transfers; and improve the
process so innovations born from
university research hit the market
more quickly.
Napolitano said the freeze would
give the university system time to
create a new fee
policy to get it
right.
Tuition cuts
right to the
heart of accessi-
bility and
affordability
two of the uni-
versitys guid-
ing stars, she
told the
regents, adding later: I want
tuition to be as low as possible
and I want it to be as predictable as
possible.
Napolitano, the former secretary
of Homeland Security, spent the
past six weeks in her new job vis-
iting many of the systems 10

California home
sales fairly flat in October
SAN DIEGO California home
sales and prices were fairly at in
October compared to September,
but other gures indicate a market
that is slowly regaining its health
after a yearslong slump, a research
rm reported Wednesday.
An estimated 36,468 houses and
condominiums were sold last
month, up just 1.2 percent from
September and down 7.1 percent
from October of 2012, DataQuick
said. The monthly sales were 15.4
percent below the October average
dating back to 1988, when San
Diego-based DataQuick began
keeping statistics.
The median sales price for a
home meaning half sold for
more and half for less was
$357,000 about a half-percent
increase over September. The price
was still more than 25 percent
higher than in October of last year
and marked the 11th straight
month that such year-over-year
gains have topped 20 percent.

WASHINGTON Planting a
paltry number on a national disap-
pointment, the Obama administra-
tion revealed Wednesday that just
26,794 people enrolled for health
insurance during the rst, awed
month of operations for the feder-
al Obamacare website.
Adding in enrollment of more
than 79,000 in the 14 states with
their own websites, the nation-
wide number of 106,000 October
sign-ups was barely one-fth of
what ofcials had projected and
a small fraction of the millions
who have received widely publi-
cized private coverage cancella-
tions as a result of the federal law.
The White House raced to reas-
sure anxious Democrats who are
worried about
the controver-
sial program,
which they
voted into exis-
tence three
years ago and
which seems
sure to be a
major issue in
next years
election campaigns. The adminis-
tration, trying to regain the initia-
tive, for the rst time indicated a
willingness to consider legisla-
tion to stave off the wave of can-
cellations thats compounding the
website technology problems.
Some Democrats are seeking
changes in Obamas signature pro-
gram, and key Republicans, many
pressing for repeal, said that even
Wednesdays feeble sign-up fig-
ures appeared to be pumped up.
The nal number 106,185 peo-
ple would be even smaller if it
counted only those who nalized
their enrollment by actually pay-
ing their rst months premium,
Republicans said.
Administration officials and
senior congressional Democrats
expressed condence in the pro-
grams future. We expect enroll-
ment will grow substantially
throughout the next ve months,
said Health and Human Services
Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, who
is in overall charge.
Even with the issues weve had,
the marketplace is working and
people are enrolling, Sebelius
said. Responding to GOP critics,
she said the rst premiums are not
due until Dec. 15.
The online, state-level insur-
ance markets were envisioned as
the new portal to coverage for
people who dont have health
plans on the job. But the federal
market was overwhelmed by tech-
nical problems when it opened
Oct. 1, and the experience of state-
run markets has been mixed.
The administration said an addi-
tional 1 million individuals have
been found eligible to buy cover-
age on the markets, with about
one-third qualifying for tax credits
to reduce their premiums. Another
396,000 have been found eligible
for Medicaid, the safety-net pro-
gram that is shaping up as the
health care laws early success
story.
For many Democrats, concerns
over the cascade of website prob-
lems has been compounded by the
focus on Obamas misleading
promise that Americans who liked
their health insurance plans could
keep them under the overhaul.

ATLANTA Next time you go
for a checkup, dont be surprised if
your doctor gets on your case
about your weight.
The medical profession has
issued new guidelines for ghting
the nations obesity epidemic, and
they urge physicians to be a lot
more aggressive about helping
patients drop those extra pounds.
Doctors should calculate your
body mass index, a weight-to-
height ratio. And if you need to lose
weight, they should come up with a
plan and send you for counseling.
We recognize that telling
patients to lose weight is not
enough, said Dr. Donna Ryan, co-
chair of the guidelines committee.
The good news? By next year,
most insurance companies are
expected to cover counseling and
other obesity treatments, follow-
ing in the steps of the Medicare
program, which began paying for
one-on-one help last year.
More than a third of U.S. adults
are obese, and thats been the case
since the middle of the last decade.
Officials define someone with a
BMI of 30 or higher as obese.
Doctors are told to get
serious about obesity
WASHINGTON President
Barack Obamas choice to run the
Homeland Security Department
placed the agencys core mission
counterterrorism as his third pri-
ority during a conrmation hearing
Wednesday and took some criticism
for submitting written answers to
Congress that cribbed responses
from several other Obama adminis-
tration nominees.
The two-hour hearing for Jeh
Johnson, the Pentagons former
top lawyer, was largely cordial.
Most senators questioning him sug-
gested he was likely to win conr-
mation easily and would become the
fourth Homeland Security secretary.
But following the hearing, Sen.
John McCain, R-Ariz., said he
planned to place a hold on his nom-
ination, joining another senior
Republican senator who has made
the same pledge.
In answers to a committee pre-
hearing questionnaire Johnson said
his top three priorities were lling
vacancies at the department,
addressing low morale and terrorism
priorities which say less about
the terror threat to the U.S. and
more about whats happened to the
sprawling bureaucracy created after
the 9/11 attacks.

Kerry: New Iran sanctions

Kerry, who as a senator joined
the effort to impose crippling oil,
trade and investment restrictions
on Iran, said the United States and
other world powers are united
behind an offer they presented to
Iranian negotiators in Geneva last
week. But he said new action now
from U.S. lawmakers could shatter
an international coalition made up
of countries with interests as
divergent as France, Russia and
China, endangering hopes for a
peaceful end to the decade-long
nuclear standoff with the Islamic
republic.

Fire at Sims Metal
Editor,
The re at Sims Metal in Redwood
City on Sunday, Nov. 10 sent a thick
plume of smoke over my neighbor-
hood in unincorporated Redwood
City. The odor was like burning plas-
tic and the haze was dense over our
neighborhood. We could not be out-
side since the smell was so bad. We
did not get the shelter-in-place
phone message for at least two to
three hours after the re started. By
then the smoke was drifting thick and
low over North Fair Oaks, Menlo
Park and Atherton. Shame on Sims.
That said, this incident is a reminder
of just how foolish it is for Cargill to
continue their plan for residential
development on the salt ponds, just
steps away from the Sims metal
shredders.

Obamacare/Chuck McDougald
Editor,
In the weekend edition, Nov 9-10,
Mr. McDougald outlines an opinion
piece (Obamacare, we hardly knew
ye) posted in the Wall Street Journal,
submitted by a San Diego woman
with stage four gall bladder cancer.
She is losing her life sustaining PPO
insurance policy and has nowhere
else to turn for the immediate future.
This is the ip side of the wonders
that the Affordable Care Act will pro-
vide. She is one of the few who has
individual policies that are being can-
celed as they do not comply with the
new Affordable Care Act requirements.
This of course is offset by the many
who will be able to have insurance
someday under the new government
program. The sorry fact here is that
big government put this all together
by politicians with no concern other
than to win political points at home
at any cost. I doubt that any private
business would be paid a nickel by
you or I, for turning out this excuse
for a nonfunctioning program beset
with so many problems, affecting so
many people.
Here in Silicon Valley, with all its
technology and code writing expert-
ise, a better plan could have been cre-
ated, at a better price, without the
political nonsense. Of course, we had
to do something.

Free enterprise
system and health care
Editor,
So, Barack Obama isnt a licensed
insurance agent? How come? He said I
could keep my health plan. Well, it
has to comply with the minimum
standards that qualify it as real health
insurance and not a garbage policy,
somewhat like having an auto policy
that doesnt cover any damage to the
right front fender area. These are the
policies that have to be changed or
withdrawn from the market.
With all the hand-wringing that our
freedoms will be endangered if we
have to buy one of these genuine
health plans, youd think folks would
have more faith in the free enterprise
system, where if there is a demand the
market will supply a solution.
Germany, which has the strongest
economy in Europe, uses competing
nonprot plans to offer variety with-
out the need to satisfy shareholder
greed. Also, the physicians and CEOs
are compensated on a more moderate
scale. The fact is that their entire
country is covered and not just those
with jobs. Germany spends far less as
a nation per capita than we do on
health care. Perhaps that will lighten
the hearts of the scal conservatives?
Nah, its far more fun screaming about
losing our freedoms to Socialism
due to that Kenyan president we voted
in.

sional representatives passed the plan
did they read and understand all the
ne print? Is it what is good for all
the people, and is it affordable? Wi l l
the insurance, hospitals and drug
companies make a killing with this
Affordable Health Care deal?
Some changes can be made in the
future if necessary or wanted.

The Oklahoman
J
effrey Zients, the man called in
to rescue the federal govern-
ments health care website,
stated the obvious Friday when he
said HealthCare.gov was a long way
from where it needs to be. New
enrollment numbers illustrate the
point.
According to The Wall Street
Journal, fewer than 50,000 people
were able to sign up for Obamacare
insurance plans during October, the
rst month the site was up and run-
ning. Thats just one-tenth the num-
ber of people the administration had
expected would sign up.
The Journal obtained its gure from
two people familiar with the matter,
who cited internal government data.
The administration is supposed to
release the ofcial October enroll-
ment numbers this week. Theres no
reason to expect the number presented
by the Ofce of Health and Human
Services, which is overseeing enroll-
ment and the website, will be substan-
tially different from what the newspa-
per reported.
After all, HealthCare.gov has been
a disaster since its debut Oct. 1.
Americans have come to learn that the
administration was bent on getting
the ball rolling that day, despite test-
ing that showed the system wasnt
anywhere close to ready.
The Journal interviewed one man in
Illinois who had to try a half-dozen
times just to create a prole on the
website. In late October, he nally
was able to review premiums for some
insurance plans. He said he would like
to review the governments small-
business plans before making a deci-
sion, but that part of the site isnt
working.
The low number of sign-ups, partic-
ularly among younger Americans, will
eventually turn Obamacare on its head
because the higher rates paid by
younger, tter enrollees are needed to
help offset costs of services to older
Americans.
The spokeswoman for HHS says
ofcials expected all along that the
largest number of registrations would
occur closer to the Dec. 15 deadline.
Then again, the administration also
expected the website to work, too.
Sign-ups bode poorly for Obamacare
Faulty minutiae
I
always figured there was something wrong with
me but couldnt put my finger on it. Then I found
it the problem is my finger. At least nine of
them (if were counting thumbs).
The first time I pressed my hand down on the finger-
print plate at the San Mateo County Office of
Education, the readings were a little fuzzy. The woman
helping me was no slouch; with a long list of potential
volunteers needing processing for a local school dis-
tricts mentorship program,
this was not her first identi-
fication rodeo. When
charged with making sure
the state has the proper
information to weed out the
criminal and sketchy, one
cant be too careful.
She handed me a bottle of
lotion, explaining that the
oils often help the reader
pick up the unique swirls. I
bit my tongue from making
Silence of the Lambs
jokes about putting the
lotion in the basket. After all, I was trying to secure a
gig helping young, impressionable minds so it proba-
bly wouldnt have helped my case.
I rubbed my hands together, noted my shoddy cuti-
cles, joked about knowing I needed a manicure, and
tried again. She pushed down. She rolled the fingertips
back and forth. She peered at the screen. She paused
and hmmed. Then she grabbed my palm and turned it
over.
Oh, you have faulty minutiae, she said.
What? Faulty minutiae? How could I have faulty
minutiae? How do I even know what that is?
In a nutshell, the minutiae are the various ridge
points on the finger which are used to differentiate one
persons unique pattern from another. Mine apparently
were faulty and therefore illegible.
Leave it to the folks in education to teach me about
my deficiencies.
I was crushed. Nobody wants to hear they have a
deformity but it is particularly startling when one has
been going about their lives for years blissfully
unaware of a deficit until somebody else decides to
point it out. I was reminded of the dentist a few years
back telling me my overbite was atrocious and asking
hadnt anybody ever suggested braces? Um, no. Or the
optometrist assistant fitting my new pair of glasses on
my face and puzzling over why they sat so oddly on the
bridge of my nose. Oh, seems my ears are also uneven.
Then the optometrist, years into contact wearing,
pointed out that the eye with the technically better
eyesight actually has astigmatism. Who knew? Not
me.
Just like, apparently, the pads of my fingers are the
natural equivalent of some shady criminal type who
filed the prints off to avoid detection. Had I only
known sooner! Think of the potential life of crime!
Lets just try again, she said.
Lotion, rub, press, submit. The fingerprints in indi-
vidual squares popped up on screen. And below each,
minus the left index, was the machines cold judgment:
Rejected.
Over and over again like a cold slap from a first-
choice college: Rejected. Rejected. Rejected.
Youre not the only person this has happened to, the
administrator said.
So this isnt that rare? I clarified.
Well, its not that common, she replied.
So much for that. Add another quirk to the growing
list of slightly irregular body parts.
Back in the newsroom, I shared my plight which not
unexpectedly led to requests to view the faulty minuti-
ae. I held out both hands for inspection.
Yes, I see, they concluded.
Really? What exactly did they see aside from the con-
fusion on my face? Were they really expecting me to
believe my shoddy skin was so obviously visible?
In any case, before exiting the fingerprinting exer-
cise I was urged to return later and given some
Goldilocks-like advice: Moisturize. But dont over-
moisturize. And dont undermoisturize. Just the right
amount, whatever that is. At this point, Im leaning
toward handing over a cheek swab but first I must
prove my fingers are as boring and ordinary and read-
able as anybody else. I might once again be rejected
but am willing to give it a whirl.

NEW YORK Macys gave the
stock market some early holiday
cheer.
Stock indexes climbed back into
record territory Wednesday after the
department store chain gave an opti-
mistic forecast for holiday sales.
Macys surged 9 percent, leading
strong gains among retailers including
J.C. Penney, Nordstrom and Target.
The forecast from Macys shows that
the U.S. may be heading into the holi-
days with a surprising retail wind at its
back. And its the latest news that sug-
gests the economy, while far from
robust, is showing stronger-than-
expected strength to close out the year.
That could continue pushing up a stock
market that is already soaring without
the benet of a booming economy.
When the consumer starts spend-
ing, its pretty much a rising tide,
said Ron Florance, deputy chief
investment officer for Wells Fargo
Private Bank. That gives a big lift
across the board.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
rose 14.31 points, or 0.8 percent, to
1,782, its 34th record close this year.
The index is up 25 percent this year. If
it ends 2013 with that gain, it would be
the best performance in a decade.
The Dow Jones industrial average
gained 70.96 points, or 0.5 percent,
to 15,821.63, also a record. The
Nasdaq composite rose 45.66 points,
or 1.2 percent, to 3,965.58, well
below its record close of 5,048.52
reached in March 2000.
Macys jumped $4.35 to $50.68. Its
earnings climbed 22 percent for the
quarter ended. Nov. 2. The department
store chain, which rose the most in the
S&P 500 index, was the rst major
retailer to report earnings for the quar-
ter.
The shopping season is a critical
time for retailers because it can
account for much of their yearly rev-
enue. The season also indicates where
consumer spending, a key driver of the
economy, is headed.
U.S. stocks started the day lower as
investors considered when the Federal
Reserve might start reducing its eco-
nomic stimulus.
The Fed is buying $85 billion of
bonds a month to keep interest rates
low and support the economy. That has
helped drive a rally in stocks this year.
Surprisingly strong reports on eco-
nomic growth and hiring last week
have led investors to speculate that the
Fed may pare back its stimulus sooner
than expected.
Were in a pause as everyone waits
for more data, said Kate Warne, a
strategist at investment adviser Edward
Jones.
Investors will closely follow
Thursdays confirmation hearing for
Janet Yellen, who has been nominated
to succeed Fed Chairman Ben
Bernanke, for clues about when the Fed
may begin to pull back its economic
stimulus.
Chegg, an online textbook rental
company, opped on its rst day of
trading, slumping $2.82, or 22.6 per-
cent, to $9.68. Another market debut
did much better: Extended Stay
America, a hotel operator, jumped
$3.87, or 19 percent, to $23.87.
Investors may have been concerned
about Cheggs lack of profits.
Although its annual revenue has con-
sistently grown to $213 million in
2012 Chegg said in its initial pub-
lic offering filing that it couldnt
assure investors it will be protable
anytime soon.
Cisco Systems fell $2.25, or 9.5
percent, to $21.72 in after-hours trad-
ing. The technology company said its
rst-quarter revenue grew at a slower
pace than analysts had expected and its
net income declined.
In government bond trading, the
yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell
to 2.73 percent from 2.77 percent
Tuesday.
About 90 percent of companies in
the S&P 500 have now reported third-
quarter results, and earnings are pro-
jected to rise by 5.6 percent in the
July-to-September period, according
to S&P Capital IQ. Thats better than
the 4.9 percent growth recorded in the
second quarter and better than the 2.4
percent growth in same period a year
earlier.

SAN JOSE How much does
Samsung Electronics owe Apple for
copying vital features of the iPhone
and iPad, such as scrolling and the
bounce-back function at the end of
documents?
Apple says $380 million. Samsung
counters with $52 million.
The companies made their demands
Wednesday during opening statements
of a patent trial in San Jose, Calif.
At issue are 13 older products a pre-
vious jury found infringed several
Apple patents. That previous jury
awarded Apple $1.05 billion after
determining 26 Samsung products had
infringed six Apple patents.
But a judge found the jury miscalcu-
lated $400 million in damages for 13
products and ordered a new trial to
determine the proper amount.
Apple lost sales because Samsung
was selling infringing products,
Apple attorney Harold McIhenny told
the jury. He argued that Apples lost
profits, Samsungs profits on the
offending devices and royalties owed
Apple, add up to $380 million.
In a fair ght, in a fair competition,
the money they got would have and
should have gone to Apple,
McIlhenny said.
Samsungs attorney Bill Price coun-
tered that consumers preferred
Samsungs devices, which operate with
Googles Android system, because of
the many differences rather than the
similarities they have with Apples
products. Price told the jury that
Samsung owes Apple $52 million.
Apple is simply asking for much
more money than its entitled to, Price
said.
Price readily conceded that Samsung
was guilty of copying Apples features,
but downplayed the signicance of the
technology in devices that are built
with hundreds of patents each.
This is a case not where were dis-
puting that the 13 phones contain
some elements of Apples property,
Price said. That doesnt mean Apple
gets to come in here and ask for a wind-
fall ... for more than it is entitled.
Samsung says it owes Apple $52 million
FREMONT Tesla Motors says
three employees have been injured
after an aluminum casting press failed
at its factory in the San Francisco Bay
Area.
The company didnt disclose the
extent of the injuries Wednesday at the
Fremont factory. It says there was a
failure in a low-pressure aluminum
casting press, and the three workers
were hurt by hot metal. It released no
additional details.
Fire trucks were seen outside the fac-
tory in the afternoon. But Pam
Franklin, a Fremont fire employee,
said there was no re at the plant, and
the incident was being treated as an
industrial accident.
Santa Clara Valley Medical Center
spokeswoman Joy Alexiou says the
hospital had received at least two of
the employees. She didnt know their
conditions.
Tesla has made headlines recently
over res involving its Model S elec-
tric car.
Three injured at Tesla factory in California
Ciscos 1Q revenue falls below estimates
NEWYORK Tech bellwether Cisco Systems Inc. post-
ed lower-than-expected revenue for its scal rst quarter on
Wednesday and warned that its revenue for the current peri-
od could fall as much as 10 percent from a year ago.
Ciscos shares tumbled 11 percent in extended trading
after the company gave its guidance. In August, Cisco had
forecast revenue growth of 3 percent to 5 percent for the
current quarter.
Our team there did an exceptional good job managing
through this challenging period, said CEO John Chambers
in a conference call with analysts. However, the shut-
down, debt ceiling negotiations and delay of key decisions
exasperated the lack of condence among business leaders
we had highlighted over the past few quarters.
Cisco earned $2 billion, or 37 cents per share, during the
quarter ended Oct. 26. Thats down 5 percent from $2.09
billion, or 39 cents per share, a year earlier.
Chegg falls in first day as publicly traded company
NEWYORK Not all Internet IPOs are created equal.
Shares of Chegg declined Wednesday in their rst day on
the New York Stock Exchange, offering proof that
investors are selective in their affection for newly issued
technology stocks.
Chegg Inc.s shares, trading under the CHGG ticker
symbol, dropped $2.82, or 23 percent, to close
Wednesdays trading session at $9.68.
The Santa Clara-based company, which provides
online textbook rentals primarily to college students
and other education services, said the initial public
offering of 15 million shares priced at $12.50 per share.
That was above the projected price range of $9.50 to
$11.50 per share.

BACK TO THE GRIND: KAEPERNICK SHAKES OFF THE NAYSAYERS, GOES BACK TO WORK > PAGE 13
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Woodside had to get to the playoffs to
catch a breather.
After going the ve-set distance in each
of its final two regular-season matches,
Woodside cruised to victory in the Central
Coast Section Div. II opener yesterday,
sweeping No. 12-seed Branham 25-7,
25-17, 25-10.
The No. 6-seed Wildcats came out ring
seven aces in the rst set and didnt look
back, never trailing throughout the entirety
of the match.
I would have been a little upset if we
would have taken more than three sets (to
win it), Woodside head coach Kyle
Mashima said. We knew the ranking of the
team coming in. We expected them to be no
better than the lower half of our league, and
we went 3-0 with all those teams. Our
expectation was we should be able to handle
it.
Woodside now advances to quarterfinal
play Saturday, traveling to No. 3-seed St.
Francis at 7 p.m.
Christine Alftin looks poised to take on
her former school. The Woodside senior
transferred from St. Francis after her sopho-
more season, and has yet to get the better of
them. The Lancers not only eliminated
Woodside in the CCS opener last season,
they also swept the Wildcats in this sea-
sons non-league opener.
If yesterday is any indication though,
Alftin is one who thrives on the pressure.
The senior had quite a busy day yesterday, as
Woodside held a lunchtime ceremony to
honor its volleyball star as she ofcially
signed a letter of intent to play at Cal next
season. Come game time though, it was
business as usual for the Peninsula Athletic
League Bay Division MVP.
Shes ready to go, Mashima said. Shes
ready to nish it off. Weve got St. Francis

Carlmont has shown some exceptional
depth at the net this season.
From the surefire moxie of Ella
McDonough to the power barrage of
Charlotte Jackman, the Scots boast a pair of
senior hitters who can kill at will. And
through their rst varsity season, junior
Sabrina Miller and sophomore Alexis
Morrow have proven their mettle by
anchoring the block.
Meanwhile, the centerpiece of the start-
ing six, running the playoff-bound squad
like clockwork, has been setter Amelia
Tupou.
Tupou rhymes with you go hasnt
received the acclaim as have some of the
Bay Divisions heavy hitters. However, the
senior has earned the praise of Carlmont
head coach Chris Crader, who considers his
third-year senior one of the elite talents of
the Peninsula Athletic League.
I think shes the best setter in the
league, Crader said. If we would have won
the league (title), I would have made a push
for her to be MVP.
Carlmont fell two games shy of the title,
nishing in a second-place tie with Menlo-
Atherton behind Bay Division champion
Woodside. Early in the season, it was
Carlmont who handed Woodside its only
loss in league play this season. But a two-
game skid in the penultimate week of the
season cost the Scots dearly, as they lost
back-to-back games to Woodside and M-A.
[Crader] wanted to win league, and we all
jumped onboard with that, Tupou said.
And then we played Woodside at our
school, we beat them, and we were like,Oh.
We have a chance at this. Its completely
possible. Then we were rolling but we
just kind of strolled our way through the
middle of the season. Then when we played
M-A and Woodside again, I dont know
(what happened).
Still, the Scots earned the nal guaranteed
postseason bid in the Bay. They open
Central Coast Section Div. I play tonight as
the No. 6 seed, travelling to No. 3-seed
Tupou the glue for Carlmont

Amelia Tupou, a three-year varsity starter, is the engine that makes the Carlmont offense go.
T
his weekend is arguably the biggest
of the season when it comes to
Peninsula Athletic League football as
Rivalry Week kicks in for the 18 PAL
squads.
That being said, certain games carry more
cache with the average fan than other.
Granted, fans, stu-
dents and players of
a particular school
believe their rival is
the biggest one on
the schedule, and for
those communities,
theyre right.
But for those won-
dering what all the
hoopla is, Ill try to
break down the
importance/compet-
itiveness of each
game.
Menlo School
versus Sacred
Heart Prep, The Valpo Bowl.
Although among the youngest of all the
rivalry games, 2013 is only the 11th edi-
tion, it is arguably the most competitive.
Menlo holds a 6-4 advantage during the regu-
lar season, winning four of the rst ve
meetings. But the rivalry has been taken up a
notch because of three Central Coast Section
matchups, with the Gators holding a 2-1
edge including a win over the Knights in
the CCS Division IVchampionship game
last season.
These teams have split the last four games.
Burlingame versus San Mateo, The
Little Big Game. This is the granddaddy
of high school rivalry games. Not only is it
the longest-running rivalry game on the
Peninsula, but one of the longest-tenured
matchups in the Bay Area.
A brief look
at this weeks
rivalry games
SALT LAKE CITY With his penchant
for poetry, Todd Christensen never t the
Raiders renegade mold. But that didnt keep
him from becoming one of the teams best
all-time tight ends.
A ve-time Pro Bowl selection and two-
time Super Bowl winner, Christensen died
from complications during liver transplant
surgery Wednesday. He was 57.
Christensens son, Toby Christensen,
said his father died at Intermountain Medical
Center near his home in
Alpine, Utah. He had
been waiting for 10
months for a donor liver.
After a stellar career at
running back for BYU
from 1974-77,
Christensen was a sec-
ond-round pick for the
Dallas Cowboys in the
1978 NFL draft.
He was waived by the
Cowboys after breaking his foot in training
camp but landed the next year with the
Raiders, where he played for 10 seasons at
tight end and won Super Bowls in 1981 and
1984.
In 1983, he had 92 catches, setting the
NFL record at the time for tight ends. He n-
ished the season with 1,247 yards receiving
and 12 touchdowns.
He broke his own record three seasons
later with 95 catches. He nished his pro
career with 467 catches for 5,872 yards and
41 touchdowns a TD record for a Raiders
tight end. He surpassed 1,000 yards receiv-
ing in three different seasons.
Todd was an excellent football player and
was prolic in the passing game, said for-
mer Raiders coach Tom Flores. He was a
hybrid tight end, an H-back before it
became a football term. He started out as a
special teamer and was named our special
teams captain right away while playing
behind Raymond Chester and Dave Casper.
He then helped us win Super Bowls.
Former Raiders teammate James Lofton
posted to Twitter on Wednesday: He was
truly great both on and off the eld.

It may only be a small sample size, but the
California Community College season has
begun and there are some early trends worth
noting.
On the womens side, the College of San
Mateo dropped a season-opening result to
American River but bounced back emphati-
cally to beat Hartnell College and capture its
rst win.
And with added depth in 2013-14, its sim-
ple to see that in order for CSM to be suc-
cessful, itll have to get get production from
all parts of the roster.
Against American River, the CSM starting
ve scored 44 of the 58 total points and the
bench managed those 14 points by shooting
10 percent from the oor.
It was also a less than stellar day on the
glass as no CSM player had more than eight
rebounds. The Bulldogs also managed just
six steals for the game.
That all changed against Hartnell. The
CSM bench came up with 22 huge points
helping maintain a 34-9 halftime lead post-
ed by the starters.
McKenna Hilton had her second big game
offensively. She scored 20 against American
River and followed that with a team-leading
14 points on 6 of 10 shooting from the
oor.
Rebounding was also big for the Bulldogs.
Amanda Lee, from her guard position, pulled
down 10 as CSM out-glassed the Panthers
46-25.
And as a team, the Bulldogs were aggres-
sive defensively and notched 30 steals. Lee
had ve and Catherine Cooper tallied six.
But again, the key was CSMs depth and
bench production. Head coach Michelle
Warner said Julianne Llacer is probably the
fastest player on the team this season and
she showed just how valuable her speed
could be. Coming off the bench, Llacer
scored nine points, pulled down four boards
and had six steals.
Over on the mens side, Caada head coach
Mike Reynoso predicted his team would face
its fair share of bumps in his rst year at the
helm of the Colt program.And the early part
of the season suggests Reynoso was at least
partially correct.
Sure, the Colts are off to an 0-3 start and
that doesnt look pretty in the standings.
But, with the exception of Game 1 (a 16-
point loss to Sacramento City College), the
Colts have competed at the level Reynoso is
hoping for.
We were in control during a couple of
those games for about 16 or 17 minutes,
Reynoso said. We just couldnt close things
out. The rst two games, it took us a while to
adjust our defensive pressure. Like we talked
about earlier, we want to be a physical team.
But we kind of shot ourselves in the foot.
Reynoso said the Colts were victims of
overaggressiveness. In the rst two games,
a total of 140 fouls were called the major-
ity against Caadas perimeter players. Its
not wonder that in three losses, teams are
averaging 97.4 points per game and six dif-
ferent players have eclipsed the 20-point
mark against them.
We did a good job of adjusting against
Monterey, Reynoso said. We just didnt
close out on shooters as tight as we needed
to. You have to give credit to Monterey
though. They knocked down 17 3s. We just
need to do a better job of piecing things
together. We really need to take pride in our
defensive game and were still not playing
as hard as we can.
But on the positive side, it appears
Reynoso may have found his main scorer
something he was unsure about before his
Colts stepped on the court.
Rohndell Goodwin had led Caada in scor-
ing in all three games with performances of
15, 25 and 27 points.
Hes just an absolute player, Reynoso
said. The thing we really like about
Rohndell is, yes hes averaging 25 a game,
but hes not taking bad shots. Hes not
shooting a high volume. Hes inside. Hes
outside. Hes getting to the line. Hes going
to be our main scorer.
Israel Hakim has been a key offensively
contributor as well. Hes averaged 15 points
per game.
There arent many guys in the state who
can guard him off the bounce, Reynoso
said. He can blow by a lot of people. He just
needs to work on his shot and shore up that
part of his game.
Former Carlmont Scot David Hobbs is on
an early scoring spurt as well.
But, its like I told the guys, if we put up
90 points, we should be getting the W,
Reynoso said. Weve proven we are capable
of scoring that much, which is reassuring
because I didnt think that would be the case
at all.
And finally at Menlo College, Jolise
Limcaco turned in strong performances in
two Southern California games to earn the
California Pacic Conference womens bas-
ketball Player of the Week honor.
Limcaco put up 12 points and dished out
eight assists in a loss at Hope International,
but turned around the next night to lead her
team to a 64-62 win at Biola. The junior
point guard poured in 21 points to go with
her nine assists and four steals.
The Menlo Oaks are now 2-1 on the sea-
son and nd themselves ranked No. 24 in the
NAIApreseason polls.
CSM women split first two; Caada men off to rough start

NEW YORK Clayton Kershaw of the
Los Angeles Dodgers and Max Scherzer of
the Detroit Tigers breezed Wednesday to
baseballs Cy Young Awards.
Kershaw won the prize as the National
Leagues best pitcher for the second time in
three seasons after posting a 1.83 ERA
lowest in the majors in 13 years.
This is such a cool thing. I cant even
explain what it means to me, Kershaw said
in an interview on MLB Network. It really
is a huge honor.
The 25-year-old lefty with a big-breaking
curve drew 29 of 30 rst-place votes from
members of the Baseball Writers
Association of America. Adam Wainwright
of the St. Louis Cardinals was picked rst on
one ballot.
Kershaw went 16-9 and topped the NLwith
232 strikeouts. He also won the Cy Young
Award in 2011 and nished second last year
to knuckleballer R.A. Dickey.
Scherzer took the AL honor after leading
the majors with 21 wins. He received 28 of
30 rst-place votes.
The right-hander lost only three times and
was the lone 20-game winner in baseball.
He ranked second in the majors with 240
strikeouts and was fth in the ALwith a 2.90
ERA.
Scherzer smiled and raised both arms when
the results were announced.

The season ended for both of the
Peninsula Athletic League teams in the
Central Coast Section tournament, but
top-seeded Menlo advanced to Fridays
quarterfinal match.
Carlmont, which beat Los Gatos 5-2 in
the first round, suffered a 6-1 loss to No. 2
seed Saratoga (13-5). The Scots lone win
was a big one, however, as No. 1 singles
player Cori Sidell posted a 6-0, 6-2 win.
Its a big result for Sidell, who will be
the No. 3 seed in the CCS individual tour-
nament in a couple weeks.
The loss dropped Carlmont 18-2 to end
the season.
Hillsdale, which finished as co-champs
with Carlmont for the PAL Bay Division
crown, was eliminated by Menlo School,
5-2.
Hillsdale ends the season 17-3, while
Menlo improves to 22-1. It will host No.
8 Mitty in the quarterfinals 2 p.m. Friday.
Girls water polo
Top-ranked Sacred Heart Prep now know
who it will play in Saturdays quarterfinal
match. The Gators (19-&0 will take on No.
8 Santa Catalina (15-5), which beat No. 9
Willow Glen 11-8 Tuesday evening.
Carlmont, the No. 9 seed in the Central
Coast Section Division I tournament, ral-
lied from a 3-1 halftime lead to knock off
No. 8 Los Altos, 7-6 in double overtime.
The Scots trailed 5-3 in the fourth quar-
ter, but got a goal with less than 10 sec-
onds left to force overtime. Carlmont
scored twice in the first extra period and
then held off the Eagles in the second
overtime.
Carlmont (13-8) advances to the quarter-
finals where it will face top-seeded St.
Francis (23-2) Saturday at a time and place
to be determined.
In the Division II tournament, No. 12
Burlingame saw its season come to an end
with a 12-5 loss to No. 5 Soquel. The
Panthers finish their season with a record
of 9-16.
Boys water polo
Serra, the No. 6 seed, cruised into the
quarterfinals of the Division I tournament
with a 15-6 win over No. 11 Carlmont
Tuesday evening at Palo Alto High.
Joe Kmak paced the Padres with six
goals, with Tyler Breen adding five more.
The win improves Serra to 12-13 overall
this season and the Padres will face No. 3
Menlo-Atherton Saturday at a time and
place to be determined.
Carlmont finished the season with a
mark of 8-16.
In Division II action, 12th-seeded
Hillsdale, making its first-ever CCS
appearance, had a short stay as the
Knights were eliminated by CCS power
and No. 5 seed Soquel, 18-6 Tuesday night
in Palo Alto.
Volleyball
Eighth-seeded Notre Dame-Belmont
cruised an easy win over No. 9 King City
in a CCS Division IV opening-round
match Wednesday night.
The Tigers (19-12) routed King City 25-
16, 25-16, 25-21 to advance to the second
round where theyll take on No. 1 Menlo
School (26-5) at a time to be determined
Saturday at Menlo.
In Division II action, No. 12 Aragon saw
its season come to an end with a straight-
set loss to No. 5 Westmont, 25-13, 25-13,
25-18. The Dons finish the season with a
record of 22-15.
In a Division III match, No. 9 Terra Nova
pulled out a four-set win over No. 8 Notre
Dame-San Jose, 25-22, 16-25, 25-18, 25-
19. The Tigers (21-2) advance to take on
top-seeded Valley Christian (28-7) at 7
p.m. Saturday at Valley Christian in San
Jose.
In other volleyball news, No. 3
Burlingame (19-11), which was to play
No. 6 Saratoga at Capuchino High, is now
being played at Mills, beginning at 7 p.m.

Young Awards
think about. So, shes got a lot riding on it
to get there.
Alftin and company came out blazing yes-
terday, as senior hitter Dani Walsh started
the match with four straight service points
to spark a lopsided win in Game 1. Alftin
also contributed seven straight service
points, including ve aces.
We knew [Alftin] was one of the top hit-
ters around, so we just tried to stay on top of
her, Branham fth-year head coach Heather
Cooper said. But shes phenomenal.
In Game 2, Haili and Heilani Hoeft got in
sync to show off their patented sister act at
net. Heilani tabbed four of her eight match
kills in the set, with Haili seamlessly set-
ting almost all of them.
We grew up in the same room, eating the
same food, wearing the same clothes,
Heilani Hoeft said. So were basically the
same person.
In Game 3, Alftin mopped up with ve of
her match-high 13 kills, including the game
winner. Alftin admitted earlier in the week
that she was looking ahead to Woodsides
clash with St. Francis. But now the compe-
tition looks to be stacking up in hurry, as
St. Francis is the rst big hurdle to clear en
route to a possible matchup with No. 2-seed
Los Altos in the seminals, and a projected
championship appearance by No. 1-seed
Archbishop Mitty.
If we played like we played against M-A,
where we blocked really well and we played
tremendous defense, we have shot at taking
the (St. Francis) game, Mashima said. So,
we just have to be tight and we have to be on
it. If we have a crisp game there, then it will
be very, very competitive.

Florida State quarterback
investigated in sexual assault
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. Florida
State quarterback Jameis Winston
is under investigation in an
alleged sexual assault reported
nearly a nearly a year ago.
Winston has been spectacular
for the No. 2 Seminoles in his rst
college season. He has passed for
2,661 yards and 26 touchdowns to
help Florida State win its rst nine
games and move into position for
a spot in the BCS national cham-
pionship game.
The report does not mention
Winston by name, but it says the
incident took place between 1:30
and 2 a.m. last Dec. 7.
It describes the suspect in the
sexual assault case as being
between 5-foot-9 and 5-11 .
Winston is listed by Florida State
at 6-4.

Salinas for a 7 p.m. start. This marks the
fth straight year Carlmont has advanced to
the playoffs. Now its win or go home for
the Scots, who have amassed a 14-11 career
record in CCS play, with two section
crownsrst in the inaugural playoff tour-
ney in 1975, then again in 2005.
While Woodside senior Christine Alftin
was named Bay Division MVP yesterday,
Tupou still received apt recognition.
Carlmonts setter earned a rst-team All-Bay
Division nod, her second in as many sea-
sons.
Tupou is at a crucial juncture of her vol-
leyball career though. Having played year
round since she was a freshman, she has
long desired to play in college.
I really want to (play in college), Tupou
said. Like, really badly.
However, as she joins the elite Encore 18
club team this winter, Tupou is hoping to
eld a serious college offer. Many players at
the high club level already have secured
their future college plans. But Tupou said
she has no idea what the future holds for her.
No idea, Tupou said. So, this club sea-
son, its imperative that I get myself out
there and hopefully something turns up.
All of Carlmonts ve seniors are in the
same boat, as none of them have inked a
college commitment. McDonough is cur-
rently considering some schools on the
East Coast. Senior libero Bailee Roces is
also likely to play at the next level.
According to Crader, so to will Tupou. And
he gures she will be a very pleasant sur-
prise to some college coach somewhere.
Shes going to end up somewhere and
someone is going to be really red up the
third [day] of practice about what she can
do, Crader said.
Thats the thing about the entire squad.
Smooth and efcient, the Scots dont have
the flamboyant talent as do their Bay
Division rivals Woodside and M-A. They do
have the talent though. Perhaps more
importantly, Carlmont has remarkable team
chemistry.
I would say (we are) passionate, Tupou
said. Everybody goes for every ball,
theyre loud, everybodys screaming. When
our team is loud, thats when you know
were on our game.
So, the Scots hope to make a ruckus in
Salinas tonight. And if all goes according to
plan, that ruckus will emanate from the set-
ting prowess of Tupou.
Being able to trust every single player
on the court and know that theyre going to
do their job when I need them to, I love that
about my team, Tupou said.

As, Punto agrees
to $3M, one-year deal
ORLANDO, Fla. Inelder Nick Punto
agreed Wednesday to a $3 million, one-year
contract with the Oakland Athletics following
a little more than a season with the Los
Angeles Dodgers.
Puntos deal, announced Wednesday, calls for
a $2.75 million salary and includes a $2.75
million club option for 2015 with a $250,000
buyout. The option could become guaranteed
based on days on the active major league roster
next year, not including time on a disabled list.
The 36-year-old was acquired by the Dodgers
from Boston on Aug. 25, 2012, as part of the
nine-player trade that sent Josh Beckett, Carl
Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez to Los Angeles.
Punto hit .255 this year with two homers and
21 RBIs in 116 games.
He has a .248 career average with
Philadelphia (2001-03), Minnesota (2004-
10), St. Louis (2011), Boston (2012) and Los
Angeles.
Punto had a $1.5 million base salary each
season under the two-year deal he signed with
Boston and earned $250,000 annually in ros-
ter bonuses by being active for at least 150
days.
Sports brief
Talk to longtime Peninsula residents and
this was THE game no matter your aflia-
tion or whether you were even connected to
the schools. The pageantry, the tradition, the
halftime show, most other games pale in
comparison.
On the eld? Its actually been a bit one-
sided recently, with Burlingame dominating,
having won 10 of the last 12 matchups,
many of which havent been too close. Those
that have come down to the wire, however,
have been among the most exciting. In a 24-
23 Burlingame win in 2005, it took the
Panthers breaking up a pass in the end zone
to hold off the Bearcats. San Mateo got its
revenge in 2009, when John Niupalau hauled
in a 44-yard scoring pass with 42 seconds to
play to beat Burlingame 25-20.
When this game is close, no other rivalry
game compares when it comes to the drama
and fan reaction. When this game is competi-
tive, you get goose bumps watching.
Aragon versus Hillsdale, Battle of
the Fleas.Astrange name, until one con-
siders the translation of pulgas of Alameda
de las Pulgas means ea in Spanish. Both
schools reside on what is colloquially known
as The Alameda, thus, the name has stuck.
But enough about that. After the Little Big
Game, this game probably has the most
cache among Peninsula football fans but
the one most wonder if it really is a rivalry
game. Some say to be rivals, both teams need
to win some games and this is the most lop-
sided rivalry of all, considering Aragon has
not lost since 1991 thats 21 straight
wins for the Dons, for those counting.
There have been times over the last several
years in which many believed the Knights
might actually give the Dons a game, only to
see Aragon roll over Hillsdale once again.
The Hillsdale team that beats Aragon to
snap the drought will go down in school his-
tory.
Menlo-Atherton versus Woodsi de.
One of two rivalry games that doesnt have a
nickname, this is arguably the most physical
game played all year between any two teams.
There really seems to be a general dislike
between these two and you can see it in the
hitting and the celebrating during the game.
This is a pendulum-type series, with one
team controlling it for several years before
the other reels off a number of years in a row.
Right now, M-Ais dominating, having won
three in row. From 2004 to 2006, however, it
was Woodside that won three straight.
Half Moon Bay versus Terra Nova,
The Skull Game. This game is kind of
like the little brother (Half Moon Bay) tak-
ing on his bigger brother (Terra Nova). Every
now and then, little bro gets the better of his
older sibling but, more often than not, its
the Tigers handing the Cougars a beating.
The rivalry was much more even in the
early days, but Terra Nova has dominated over
the last 14 year, with the Tigers winning 11
times. Half Moon Bay, however, won most
recently in 2010, stunning Bay Division
champion Terra Nova, 34-10.
Carlmont versus Sequoia, Battle
for the Teremerre Trophy. Although it
doesnt get the most hype, there is no more
even rivalry, given the number of years these
teams have played.
This year is the 58th meeting between the
two and Carlmont holds a slim 30-28 advan-
tage following Sequoias 35-0 win last sea-
son. Sequoia has won four of the last six
meetings.
El Camino versus South City, The
Bell Game. One of those intra-city rival-
ries that is huge in the South San Francisco
community. What made this game so unusual
until this year is that the game was
always played at Clifford Field, the school
districts eld that is on the South City cam-
pus. So while El Camino is the home team
every other year, the Colts have never
enjoyed a true home-eld advantage.
Until this season. With the construction of
a new football facility, El Camino, for the
rst time, will host the Bell Game. Given the
Colts havent beaten the Warriors in 20
years, this year is as good as any for El
Camino to break that streak.
Capuchino versus Mills, Battle of
the Strip. This is one of those Civil War
type games in which family could go against
family. Because the two schools are so close
to each other, many of the players grew up
going to school together before diverging
once they get to high school. You even have
some families who have relatives that have
attended both schools.
Jefferson versus Kings Academy.
The newest of all the rivalries, it has only
been in existence since 2008 when Kings
Academy entered the PAL. Neither team had a
specic rival and, with all the other schools
already established longtime ties with other
schools, these two teams were thrown
together to round out the schedule.
Of the ve meetings between the two
teams, Kings Academy has won four times.
Maybe over the next couple of decades if
it lasts that long it will become a true
rivalry game. Right now, it just lacks the piz-
zazz and history of all the other rivalries on
the Peninsula.

previously been denied coverage.
Meanwhile, as many as 1 million
Californians who buy individual policies
are having their coverage discontinued
despite President Barack Obamas promise
that it wouldnt happen.
If healthy people avoid buying insurance
on the exchanges, it will undermine insur-
ers business models and ultimately force
premiums higher.
If those signing up trend to the elderly and
sickly your insurance is going to cost
more and that will discourage those younger
people from coming in, warned Lisa
Folberg, a vice president with the
California Medical Association. Theres
still a lot of enrollment and outreach work
that needs to be done.
Wednesdays Health and Human Services
report provided the first glimpse into
enrollment operations at Covered
California, which faces a monumental task
to reach millions of people without insur-
ance and sway them to sign up under the fed-
eral Affordable Care Act.
The report, covering the start of open
enrollment on Oct. 1 through Nov. 2, also
showed that about 80,000 lower-income
people would be eligible for expanded
Medicaid coverage under another prong of
the overhaul.
California counts nearly 7 million people
without health coverage.
Agency ofcials described the rst enroll-
ment figures as encouraging, but
Republican state Assemblyman Dan Logue,
who represents a district north of
Sacramento, predicted a troubled start.
Covered California is giving you the
best-case scenario, but wheres it going to
be 12 months from now? he said. Im
pretty sure its going to be unsustainable.
The 35,000 gure was dened in the feder-
al report as the number of people who have
selected a plan through the insurance
exchange. According to HHS, that means
the number of people who have chosen a
specic insurance plan, whether or not they
have actually followed through and begun
paying the premium for it.
Covered California said sign-ups have
accelerated since then, to about 2,400 peo-
ple a day so far this month.
The gures show momentum and very
high consumer interest, Peter Lee, the
exchanges executive director, said in a
statement.
Younger and healthier people who use
fewer services are needed by insurance com-
panies to balance the cost of treating those
who are sicker and more expensive to cover.
In addition to the state-by-state numbers,
the Health and Human Services report also
provided the overall figure for national
enrollment under President Barack Obamas
national health reforms.
It said that fewer than 27,000 people
managed to enroll for health insurance last
month in the 36 states relying on the prob-
lem-lled federal website. States running
their own websites, including California,
did better than the federal government,
together reporting more than 79,000 sign-
ups.
Even so, total private insurance enroll-
ment after the rst month of the health care
rollout was only about one-fth what the
administration had expected during that
time period.
Enrollment numbers nationwide totaled
106,185. ASept. 5 administration estimate
had projected that 494,620 people would
enroll in the rst month.
During a Wednesday news conference, Lee
said Covered California will have a break-
down of its enrollees next week.
The launch of the Affordable Care Act,
also called Obamacare, has been plagued
by technical problems with the federal gov-
ernments website. Several states that run
their own exchanges, including Oregon and
Hawaii, also have experienced signicant
technical setbacks that have prevented peo-
ple from signing up.
At the same time, millions of Americans
who buy individual policies are receiving
notices from their insurance companies
saying their policies will be discontinued
because they do not meet the higher stan-
dards of the federal law. That is despite
Obamas promise that people could keep
their current policies if they were happy
with them.
Most Americans receive health insurance
through their workplace and are largely
unaffected by the new health care
exchanges.
Under the presidents program, people
without access to coverage through their
jobs can shop for subsidized, private insur-
ance in the state marketplaces, or
exchanges. The benets begin Jan. 1.
Another major piece is a Medicaid expan-
sion to serve more low-income people. Not
all states have accepted the expansion, part-
ly because of concerns over the future cost.
The problems with the exchange websites
and confusion over the law led Obama
administration and state ofcials to lower
expectations for the early enrollment num-
bers.
We were always expecting October would
be a month when people would do some
comparative shopping but not necessarily
go through the entire process, said
Anthony Wright, executive director of
Health Access California, an advocacy
group for the needy working closely with
Covered California. You dont necessarily
buy a car on the rst trip to the lot.

TORONTO Toronto Mayor Rob Ford
admitted during a heated City Council debate
Wednesday that he bought illegal drugs
while in ofce, but adamantly refused to step
down despite calls from nearly every coun-
cilor to take a leave of absence and get help.
Im most denitely keeping this job,
the 44-year-old Ford said, insisting he was
a positive role model for kids.
The mayor made the admission under ques-
tioning by a former ally, Councilor Denzil
Minnan-Wong. Ford publicly acknowledged
last week that he smoked crack cocaine
while in a drunken stupor last year, but his
comments Wednesday marked the rst time
he admitted buying illegal drugs.
Ford paused for a long time after Minnan-
Wong asked him if he had bought illicit nar-
cotics in the past two years.
Then he replied, Yes I have.
I understand the embarrassment that I
have caused. I am humiliated by it, Ford
said.
But he then turned deant, saying he was
not an addict and rebufng suggestions from
council members that he seek help.
I am not leaving here, Ford said. Im
going to sit here and going to attend every
meeting.
Moments earlier, all but two of the 43
councilors present for the debate voted to
accept an open letter asking Ford to step
aside. Most of them also stood up to urge the
mayor to take a leave of absence.
Although it was a stark demonstration of
his political isolation, the vote was merely
symbolic because the City Council does not
have the authority to force the mayor from
ofce unless he is convicted of a crime.
Together we stand to ask you to step aside
and take a leave of absence, Councilor Jaye
Robinson said, reading the open letter.
The packed council chamber erupted with
applause when Robinson ended her speech,
saying Lets get on with city business.
Ford later tried to move a motion directing
all council members to undergo hair drug
and alcohol testing by Dec. 1, but the coun-
cil chair quickly ruled the motion out of
order.

Instead of that dust-collecting desk,many families are seeking creative ways to turning ofces into game rooms,dressing rooms,
small theaters and more.
By Ellen Gibson
The home ofce, it seems, is going
the way of the fax machine.
Interior designers say families are
nding more inventive uses for their
homes extra little rooms optimisti-
cally called bonus rooms by real
estate agents.
With the spread of wireless Internet
and portables devices such as tablets,
its common now to send spreadsheets
and emails from any room in the
house, not to mention the nearest cof-
fee shop. In fact, among major home-
renovation projects, home-office
improvements provide the puniest
return on the investment when a home
is resold, according to Remodeling
magazines 2013 cost vs. value
report.
So instead of that dust-collecting
desk, many families are seeking cre-
ative ways to customize these alcoves
as game rooms, dressing rooms, small
theaters and more.
I get this question a lot, says
Elizabeth Cb Marsh, an associate inte-
rior designer at Jenkins Baer
Associates in Baltimore. Especially
in large, new-construction homes,
there are these bonus rooms that are
just there.
When her clients make over a pre-
existing office, she usually recom-
mends trying to preserve any built-in
features, such as shelving or cabinetry.
If the space is large enough, she says,
one option is to create a billiards
room. Find a small (7-foot) pool table
to place in the center of the room. If
theres a wood counter, retrot the top
with a waterproof material such as
stone for an elegant wet bar, and if you
have the budget, install plumbing for a
small sink. Add barstools, a high-top
cocktail table and a pendant lamp over
the pool table.
A smaller ofce can have a second
life as a luxe dressing room, according
to Marsh. Whether you draw inspira-
tion from Downton Abbey or certain
Beverly Hills housewives, the first
step is to install a wall of shelving for
shoes and clothes. Keep the decor min-
imalist, she advises, with a neutral
paint color, a pair of sconces, and a
tufted ottoman in the center of the
room. Add a oor mirror and a vanity,
and accessorize with vintage hatbox-
es, a dress form or an antique trunk. If
the room has windows, be sure to hang
light-ltering curtains to protect your
clothing.
Families with children have even
more options for converting an ofce
space. These days, it is common to
transform a dull study into a kids
homework hub, says Pam Ginocchio,
co-founder of the childrens design
blog Project Nursery.
To begin, she recommends giving
each kid a workspace: a small metal
desk in a fun color with a clip-on lamp
and a comfy swivel chair. Create a
Home office gathering dust?

Dayflowers are pretty
but recall something sad
By Lee Reich
The cheery blue color of dayflowers (Commelina com-
munis) so named because each flower lasts but a day
does nothing to dispel some pity I feel for them.
Not that the petals cry out for sympathy. You have to
get fairly close to the plant, or really stop and look at it,
to even see its blossoms. Its stems and leaves, though,
are bold, seemingly ready to gobble up any piece of
ground they can grab with their succulence and lushness.
Aggressive growth coupled with almost inconspicuous
flowers could categorize any plant as a weed. And many
species of dayflower are considered just that, especially in
parts of the South and Southwest. But name calling is not
what stirs up my sympathies for this plant.
THE BROTHERS COMMELINA
Take an even closer look at a dayflower. Zoom in on the
flower, and below the two prominent, azure petals youll
see a third petal, pale compared to the other two and much
smaller.
The petals are what give dayflower its botanical name.
Carl von Linnaeus, the founder of our system of plant
nomenclature, gave dayflowers the botanical name
Commelina to honor two 18th century Dutch brothers
who were stars in botany at the time. But there was a third
brother too, less successful than the other two and repre-
sented by the dayflowers pale, relatively inconspicuous

Between the months of
November and March, many
houseplants slow down their
growth and cease owering. This
leaves most gardeners longing for
a glimpse of something in bloom
to tide them over until spring
arrives. Forced bulbs, are the per-
fect solution for brightening up
your winter windowsill.
With some planning and a little
work invested upfront, you can
keep your windowsills lled with
pots of colorful bulbs for most of
the winter.
Avariety of bulbs can be coaxed
into bloom indoors. Some, like
the popular large-owered amaryl-
lis, can be kept from year to year,
while others such as pots of daf-
fodils or tulips are best thought of
as annuals and discarded once they
nish blooming.
Spring blooming bulbs adapted
to cool climates such as crocus,
hyacinths, tulips and muscari need
periods of chilling after being pot-
ted up. Some require 8 to 12 weeks
of cold temperatures for their roots
to grow before they can be brought
indoors and coaxed into ower.
I begin my bulb-growing season
about the end of October. I plant a
variety of spring bulbs in shallow
plastic pots, water them well and
place them in the back of my
unheated barn. I check on them
periodically over the winter,
watering them as needed so they
dont dry out.
I start bringing a few pots at a
time inside sometime after New
Years. It is best to bring cold-
forced bulbs into as cool a room in
your house as possible so they can
wake up slowly. Place the potted
bulbs in as much sun as you can to
keep the foliage from stretching,
and be sure to keep the soil in the
pots moist.
Other bulbs native to warmer
climates, such as amaryllis or nar-
cissus (often called paperwhites),
dont require a chilling period.
These bulbs can be kept in a paper
bag out of direct light for as long
as four to six weeks until you are
ready to plant them.
About six weeks before
Thanksgiving I begin potting up
paperwhite bulbs.
Paperwhites are among the easi-
est of bulbs to force into bloom.
Provided their roots are kept moist
and they are given adequate light,
they will bloom about four to six
weeks after planting.
Paperwhites are not fussy about
what their roots are growing in as
long as they have access to mois-
ture. They can be grown in shal-
low bowls filled with gravel,
stones or even marbles. Simply
push the bottom third of the bulb
down into the gravel and ll the
bowl with water up to the bottom
of the bulb. Do not let the fat
part of the bulbs sit in water or
they will rot. For best results,
place four to six bulbs in each
bowl.
Paperwhites can also be grown
in pots lled with soil too. I nd
that the flowers will last a bit
longer when soil is used instead of
stones. If you plant in soil, be
sure to use a container with
drainage holes.
After planting, place your bulbs
in a cool but bright spot. They
should show signs of growth with-
in a week or two.
Once they get started, they will
grow very quickly. Keep in mind
that a warm room will cause rapid
growth with weak stems, while a
cool room will keep the growth
shorter and the stems sturdier.
The same holds true for the
amount of light the bulbs receive
while they are growing. The more
sun they receive, the sturdier the
stems will be.
The best scenario is a cool room
with lots of sun. I nd my paper-
whites grow best in our spare bed-
room, which is kept at 50 degrees.
Once they are in bloom, I place
the pots throughout the house.
After the blooms fade, I toss the
bulbs, soil and all into the com-
post pile and start a new batch.
By the time the last of my pot-
ted bulbs finish blooming
indoors, spring is on my
doorstep, and the worst of winter
is over.

SUBUBAN LIVING 21
By Lee Reich
Outside my window is a large, rounded
shrub with leaess branches suffused in a
golden haze. That haze is actually hundreds
if not thousands of golden berries clustered
tightly along the thin stems.
This shrub asked nothing more from me
than planting and care in the form of
water and mulch for only its rst year in
the ground.
Although not considered so years ago
when I planted it, the shrub known as
autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata) is
now considered dangerous, an invasive
species. It was brought over from Asia in
the 1830s, and found the soils and climates
here much to its liking. With the help of
birds, which gobble down the fruit and sub-
sequently eject the seeds, autumn olive has
spread far and wide. There are dozens of wild
autumn olives within a short bicycle ride of
my garden.
AUTUMN OLIVE HAS ITS VIRTUES
Beyond its fecundity, adaptability and
that golden haze, autumn olive offers more
pluses. The berries are preceded, in spring,
by owers that exude a sweet perfume. The
wavy leaves are ecked with silver and are
practically white on their undersides, so the
whole plant is transformed into a shimmer-
ing globe in summer breezes. And the adapt-
ability that makes this shrub weedy also
means it can be used to re-clothe ground
trashed by construction projects or mine
spoils. The roots even harbor microorgan-
isms that convert atmospheric nitrogen
into a form that plants can use, thus build-
ing soil fertility.
But back to those golden berries: Most
autumn olive shrubs actually bear crimson
berries, which by now have been stripped
from the stem. What a sight my ducks made
through autumn, waddling over in a bee-line
every morning to gobble up fallen and low
hanging fruit from my crimson-berried
autumn olive bushes.
The fruit, if picked at the right moment,
also taste good fresh to us humans, a feature
that won autumn olive a mention in my
book, Uncommon Fruit for Every Garden
(Timber Press, 2004). Autumn olive fruit
have been eaten in Japan, with whole
branches lopped off and sold on the streets
with their fruit attached. The Japanese name
for autumn olive is aki-gumi, meaning
autumn silverberry, and it refers to the
ripening period and the silvery ecking
found also on the fruit.
Incidentally, autumn olives are rich in
lycopene, a natural compound that offers
protection against certain types of cancers.
ENJOY, BUT IN MOST
PLACES DO NOT PLANT
Afew varieties of autumn olive have been
selected for their dazzling shows of fruit.
One, Brilliant Rose, is also my favorite for
eating, if picked during that narrow window
of time when the berries have lost their
astringency but have not yet started to
shrivel. Charlies Golden autumn olive
fruit, responsible for that golden haze,
only rarely get sweet enough for me. The
birds evidently agree, or more probably
bypass them because they are not red.
Charlies Golden, then, perhaps will not
contribute to the invasive spread of autumn
olive, yet can provide a visual treat.
Because of its invasiveness, autumn
olive should not be planted wherever it is
considered so; check with your state depart-
ment of environmental conservation to
determine whether or not it is invasive in
your state.
On the other hand, if you come upon
some wild shrubs of autumn olive, enjoy
the plants beauty and, after denitive iden-
tification, the berries. Eating them will
make some small contribution to throt-
tling the plants spread.

Washing clothes in the bedroom. Sending
email from the laundry room.
Busy Americans are demanding more from
each room in the house, and spaces designed
for multiple functions are popping up all
over oor plans, design blogs and maga-
zine spreads.
People multitask all the time. There is a
denite correlation and carry-over in the
home, said Wendy Danziger, owner of
Danziger Design in Bethesda, Md. She has
helped clients create rooms for eating and
watching television; housing guests and
working from home; sleeping and doing
laundry.
Some homebuilders have added space
for seating, desks and charging stations
in the laundry room.
Its happening all over, Danziger said.
Theres a lot of strategy that goes on a
lot of compromise.
Furniture manufacturers, too, are helping
to make every square inch count, said Pat
Bowling, spokeswoman for the American
Home Furnishings Alliance in High Point,
N.C. Modern pieces include end tables that
double as le cabinets, coffee tables with
adjustable heights to accommodate working
at a computer or eating, and chests with
docking stations for electronics.
The portability of laptops, tablets and
other devices means you dont need a dedi-
cated home ofce to work at home. People
can and do use electronics in the fam-
ily room, bedroom and kitchen.
Todays furniture is multi-tasking furni-
ture that can help you stay organized, stay
connected and keep clutter at bay, said
Kim Shaver of Hooker Furniture in
Martinsville, Va. In versatile styles and
silhouettes, these pieces fit any room
from the kitchen to the bedroom and from
the family room to the entry hall or foyer
and provide multiple functions in each
room.
Danziger says a console table with
hinged leaves is a good option for a TV
room that sometimes needs to become a din-
ing room: When guests come for dinner,
just slide the table away
from the wall under the tele-
vision and extend the leaves
to create a table that seats up
to six people.
Nesting tables stacking
tables of different sizes
also help increase the func-
tionality of a space, she said. She often puts
them on wheels so they can easily be rolled
to another area of the room for another use.
She has worked with retirees downsizing
to a smaller home and with young profes-
sionals squeezed into urban apartments.
Once home ofces were the rage, she
said. Now, it is not unusual to see living
spaces where people eat, sleep, work and
play games just for the sake of living in a
city where one can walk to everything,
including their ofce.
Multitasking homeowners demand more of their space

comfortable reading nook on the floor
with beanbags. Then mount floating
shelves from floor to ceiling and display
books with the covers facing out to
entice young readers. Appoint one wall as
a place for scribbling ideas or displaying
schoolwork by applying a layer of mag-
net paint and then chalkboard paint from
floor to ceiling.
Consider allowing a computer for older
kids homework, but try to banish video
games and other distractions, says Project
Nursery co-founder Melissa Fluhr, who
stresses the value of a quiet, contempla-
tive space.
If contemplative is not your familys
speed, Fluhr suggests using the bonus
room as an off-off-off-Broadway theater.
For a kid who likes to perform skits, play
songs and choreograph dances, build a
basic plywood stage in the corner of the
room. Above that riser, hang a rounded
shower-curtain rod and a pair of dark, tab-
top curtains. Hang costumes and dress-up
clothes in a cubby, and store puppets,
musical instruments and other props in a
toy chest. Finish by hanging a mirror at
tyke height so children can watch them-
selves rehearse, and dont forget to add a
few comfy chairs for the audience.
If your child has another obsession,
turn an undersized room into her special
hangout. For example, if she is into outer
space, turn it into a mini planetarium with
a dark-painted ceiling and a night-sky
projector. Just be prepared to update the
theme in a year or two when your childs
interests inevitably leap to something
else.
Having this little bonus room almost
gives you the excuse to go wild,
Ginocchio says.
You dont have to spend a ton of money
or think, whats going to be my return on
investment? Its a chance to have fun.

GOOD KIN FOR DAYFLOWER
Despite being called a weed and memori-
alizing someones lack of accomplish-
ment, dayflowers keep good company.
Among their kin is the popular houseplant
called wandering Jew, appreciated for the
way its drooping, purple-tinted stems
impart a tropical lushness to heated homes
in the winter.
Another dayflower relative is Moses-in-
a-boat, with lurid purple, spiky leaves.
The name comes from the fat flowers that
nestle down in the folds of the leaves.
Moses-in-a-boat is sometimes grown as a
houseplant, but my favorite sight of it was
outdoors in the tropics, grown as ground-
cover to create swathes of purple that con-
trasted with adjacent beds plush with lime
green babys-tears.
Among outdoor plants in colder regions,
dayflowers best known relatives are spi-
derworts. Spiderworts look much like
dayflowers, except the flowers are larger
and have only two petals.
AND SOME MORE MEMORABLE KIN
Linnaeus named spiderworts for other
prominent botanists, the Tradescants.
Naturalist and plant collector John
Tradescant I, often referred to as the
father of English gardening, was head
gardener to King Charles I. His equally
accomplished son, a royal gardener as
well, was among the first European plant
explorers to the New World. Like dayflow-
ers, spiderworts can spread aggressively.
Im not going to call dayflowers weeds
in my garden. Their lush greenery is wel-
come and so far under control. And a close,
close look at any of the green-hooded
flowers reveals hidden beauty. From the
base of the two prominent, blue petals
arise three tiny sepals (modified petals),
each like a flower itself with three yellow
lobes and a dark maroon center. From
below these sepals swoop forward two
anthers, behind which and not to be
missed is that third, pale petal.

Cohen has 2,040 votes. Both have 15.5
percent of the vote. Two other candi-
dates already decisively won. Mayor
Ann Keighran got 23 percent of the vote
while Councilman Michael Brownrigg
took 20.4 percent of the vote.
Cohen said he is disappointed and will
likely ask for a recount.
I think we will do our due diligence
most likely and request a recount
because its less than 10 votes, he said.
We will see if that changes the outcome
at all I owe that to all our volunteers
who worked so hard. I do have to give
kudos to Ricardo.
If Cohen does call for a recount, he
would be charged $956 per recount
board per day. Before a recount com-
mences, the person requesting the
recount will determine how many
recount boards are to perform the task
each day, what ballots and precincts are
to be recounted and if it is by hand,
manual, or machine, electronic. The
cost to recount by machine is $300 per
hour. There may also be administrative
costs added for preparing a recount. A
manual recount may last ve days or
more if a full recount is requested,
according to San Mateo County
Elections Manager David Tom.
Meanwhile, Ortiz, 50, said hes very,
very happy with the latest numbers.
Its a slim margin, so Im hoping
after certication it will still stand.
Meanwhile, another close race, for
the third and nal slot on the Belmont-
Redwood Shores Elementary School
District Board of Trustees, seems to be
settled with Amy Koo up 95 votes over
Herb Neuman after Election Day results
had her up 21 votes. Neuman could not
be reached for comment, but as of Friday
he had yet to concede.
Either candidate would ll the third
open seat on the board, as the other two
have already been lled by incumbent
Charles Velschow and Suvarna Bhopale,
who received 22.7 percent and 18 per-
cent of the vote, respectively, according
to the latest results released yesterday.
Naomi Nishimoto, Rakesh Hegde and
Kelly Redmon also ran. Incumbents
Andy Stulbarg and Brian Matthews did
not seek re-election.
In the Burlingame race, Nirmala
Bandrapalli, Steve Duncan, Alexander
England Kent, Andrew Peceimer and
Robert Schinagl also ran. Incumbent
Cathy Baylock opted not to run again.
Of the 15,857 people registered to vote
in Burlingame, 5,095 cast ballots in the
election, meaning voter turnout was
around 32.1 percent.
The Elections Ofce will begin its 1
percent manual tally today in anticipa-
tion of certifying the results in early
December. The tally conrms that the
election was properly conducted. More
information can be found at shapethefu-
ture.org.

Preparation begins on Jan. 1 of each
year and work on decorations and other
planning starts in August.
Six or seven entertainment groups
perform daily, including school choirs.
There are more local schools that
want to perform than we can accommo-
date, said Filoli spokeswoman
Christina Syrett, Filolis media and
public relations associate. Its an
immense team effort.
Buffet lunches and evening bistro
dining are available at select times dur-
ing the holiday celebrations with
advance reservations. There will also
be a childrens luncheon party on
Saturday, Dec. 7. It is designed espe-
cially for children 5 to 10 years old and
includes food, a visit with Santa and
childrens entertainment.
Filolis 654-acre property includes a
36,000-square-foot residence fur-
nished with an extensive collection of
17th and 18th century English
antiques and 16 acres of English
Renaissance gardens. Established as a
private residence in 1917, it was
opened to the public in 1976 to pro-
mote cultural and horticultural endeav-
ors.
Non-members may purchase tickets

referendum to the voters if the San
Carlos City Council approved the orig-
inally proposed project of 280 units
over eight buildings with some up to
four stories. But just before Tuesday
turned into Wednesday, the council
voted 4-1, with Vice Mayor Mark
Olbert dissenting, in favor of a plan
that slashes the height to no more than
three stories and 233 units. The council
also voted 3-2 to waive its standard
below-market rate requirements and
allow Legacy Partners to build 10 per-
cent of units with half each for moderate
and low affordability.
We might not even win a referendum
under these circumstances, Fuller said.
I dont want to ght just for the sake of
a ght.
The effort now, he said, is resolving
the remaining issues like expansion of
Laureola Park using park in-lieu fees
from the developer and cementing the
move of taxis and shuttles to the west
side. The city effort isnt finished
either, as the project must still now go
through design review to approve the
architectural components.
Although there are still details to
work out, Fuller said he and like-minded
residents are happy with the unbeliev-
able accomplishment of getting the
project reduced.
The sun will still shine. It will just
be covered up 15 to 30 minutes earlier,
Fuller said.
PLAN
up for health care coverage either
through expanded Medi-Cal or the subsi-
dized programs effective Jan. 1 that have
been taking most of the heat as critics
take aim at costs and enrollment glitch-
es.
Residents have two enrollment
options contacting health exchange
Covered California directly or the county
center where a worker can process both
Medi-Cal and other plan applications.
The center, which has zero wait times
for both direct calls and transfers from
Covered California, has received 5,332
calls related to health insurance,
Verducci said.
The local center received more than
2,200 health insurance applications in
October of which most were for Medi-
Cal. Approximately 50 applications
were submitted for the applied premium
tax credit, otherwise known as the sub-
sidized program. Approximately 230
applications were for the modified
adjusted gross income Medi-Cal.
Locally, the enrollment expectation
is up to 51,000 under Medi-Cal in the
next 12 to 15 months and serving up to
38,000 families who qualify for subsi-
dies.
The ACA expansion of Medi-Cal
made an estimated 13,000 new county
residents eligible for Covered
California exchange plans and about
4,000 enrollees in ACE the countys
low-income health coverage program
Access and Care for Everyone are
also eligible. Of those, the Health
System expects about half to switch in
the rst year.
Information on enrollment is avail-
able at www.coveredca.com,
www.mybenefitscalwin, (800) 223-
8383 or any of the Human Services
Agency regional ofces. The Covered
California phone hours through March
are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Friday
and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2013
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Hunker down and
learn all you can. What you observe will spark your
imagination, allowing you to come up with bold
concepts that complement your talents.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Interesting
alternatives will arise at home. Dont let someone
pressure you into passing on an opportunity that
you really want to pursue. Your heart will lead you
in the right direction.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Offer an unusual
solution at work, and you will gain respect. Expect
someones insecurity to cause friction. Handle this
person with care.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Dont let someone
dictate your options. You have to be your own boss
and make the decisions that best suit your needs. If
you want to remain emotionally sound, you need to
make a change.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Take on a challenge
and show everyone how adaptable and knowledgeable
you are. Your ideas will spark personal and professional
interest in you. Partnerships are favored.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Youll have trouble
making up your mind between work and getting
to know an interesting acquaintance better. Tread
carefully, assume nothing and dont step on
anyones toes.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Fix up your place
and prepare to do a little entertaining. Time with
friends and family will bring out the best in you
and will encourage interesting offers that could
brighten your day.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Before someone
forces you in a direction that leaves you feeling
uncertain, you need to initiate change. Taking
control will give you the upper hand and leave you
some wiggle room to reach your goals.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Volatile emotions
will surface if you think someone is taking
advantage of you. Put more emphasis on the
projects you are working on and less on the
demands that someone is making.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Tread carefully. Not
everyone will agree with the choices you make.
Get as much accomplished as possible before you
decide to share what you are doing.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Interacting with others
will lead to plenty of give-and-take, with a positive
plan ultimately resulting. Romance should be on your
mind, and a celebration should be planned.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Problems at home or in
a personal relationship can be expected. Listen to any
complaints being made, but dont give in to unrealistic
demands. Keep a low prole.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
MAIZIE UNG
(Lost Will)
Case Number: 123879
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Maizie Ung. A Petition
for Probate has been filed by Tyman Ung
in the Superior Court of California, Coun-
ty of San Mateo. The Petition for Pro-
bate requests that Tyman Ung be ap-
pointed as personal representative to ad-
minister the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
bale for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: November 25, 2013
at 9:00 a.m., Dept. Probate, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal qutho-
ity may affect your rights as a creditor.
You may want to consult with an attorney
knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

TACLOBAN, Philippines A run-down,
single-story building with lthy oors at
Taclobans ruined airport has become the
areas main medical center for victims of
last weeks powerful typhoon. It has little
medicine, virtually no facilities and very
few doctors.
What it is not short of are patients.
Hundreds of injured people, pregnant
women, children and the elderly have
poured into the squat, white building behind
the control tower since Typhoon Haiyan
ravaged the eastern Philippines on Friday,
killing thousands. Doctors who have been
dealing with cuts, fractures and pregnancy
complications said Wednesday they soon
expect to be treating more serious problems
such as pneumonia, dehydration, diarrhea
and infections.
The medical woes add to the daunting
tasks for authorities, including dealing with
looters and clearing the bottlenecks hold-
ing up thousands of tons of aid material
from coming in.
The priority has got to be, lets get the
food in, lets get the water in. We got a lot
more come in today, But even that wont be
enough, We really need to scale up opera-
tion in an ongoing basis, U.N. humanitar-
ian chief Valerie Amos told reporters after
touring Talcoban, the capital of Leyte
province. Her ofce has released $25 mil-
lion in emergency relief fund, accounting
for a chunk of the millions of dollars
pledged by countries around the world.
The World Food Program distributed rice
and other items to nearly 50,000 people in
the Tacloban area Wednesday, U.N.
spokesman Martin Nesirky said.
While the cogs of what promises to be a
massive international aid effort are begin-
ning to turn, they are not quick enough for
the 600,000 people displaced, many of
them homeless, hungry and thirsty.
With the Tacloban airport battered and
roads made impassable by debris, very little
aid has arrived in the city. Most of it is
stuck in Manila and the nearby airport of
Cebu, a 45-minute ight away.
Many among the desperate residents have
resorted to raiding for food. Mobs overran a
rice warehouse on Leyte, collapsing a wall
that killed eight people. Thousands of
sacks of the grain were carted off. Also
Wednesday, security forces exchanged gun-
re with an armed gang.
Tacloban Mayor Alfred Romualdez urged
residents to flee the city because local
authorities were having trouble providing
food and water and maintaining order, The
New York Times reported. He said the city
desperately needed trucks to distribute relief
shipments accumulating at the airport as
well as equipment to pull decaying corpses
from the rubble.
Despite those incidents, police said the
situation was improving.
We have restored order, said Carmelo
Espina Valmoria, director of the Philippine
National Police special action force. There
has been looting for the last three days, but
the situation has stabilized.

CAIRO Egypts ousted President
Mohammed Morsi accused the military
chief who deposed him of treason in a mes-
sage from prison read by lawyers on
Wednesday, saying the country cannot
return to stability until the coup is
reversed and those behind it are tried.
The statement was part of a bid by Morsi to
rally his supporters since his emergence
from the secret military detention where he
had been held, with virtually no contact with
the outside world since his July 3 ouster.
Morsi was moved to a high security civil-
ian penitentiary last week after the rst ses-
sion of his trial on charges of inciting mur-
der. There, he had his rst extensive meeting
with a team of lawyers from his Muslim
Brotherhood and other allies on Tuesday,
outlining to them his message to the
Egyptian people.
But he is emerging to a dramatically
changed situation from four months ago.
Since then, a erce crackdown by security
forces has crippled the Brotherhood, several
thousand members have been arrested, and
hundreds have been killed. The group has
been banned by a court order and a govern-
ment-appointed committee is reviewing its
nancial assets with an eye to seize them.
The new military-backed government is
pushing ahead with a transition plan aiming
for new presidential and parliamentary elec-
tions early next year.
Morsi: No stability in Egypt unless coup reversed
