Californias largest utility released
an email Monday saying the
states top regulator privately
asked the company to donate more
than $1 million to support an
environmental ballot initiative,
and a separate $100,000 to a cele-
bration of the utility commis-
sions 100th anniversary.
Pacic Gas & Electric Co. also
said prosecutors have informed the
utility that federal authorities are
investigating the legality of ve
years of back-channel communica-
tions between PG&E and the utili-
ty commission. The U.S. attor-
neys ofce said it would have no
comment.
The email is the latest in a series
released by the utility and others
that allegedly show PG&E execu-
tives privately negotiating with
California Public Utilities
Commission ofcials on matters
related to rate increases and nan-
cial penalties.

With an improving economy,
new development proposals and
changes to state law, the city of
San Mateo is hosting meetings
Tuesday and Thursday to begin dis-
cussions on updating its
Downtown Area Plan and what it
envisions for the future of its main
business district.
Its an appropriate time to take a
comprehensive look at policies
for downtown as the city is mak-
ing strides in its Central Park
Master Plan, Downtown Parking
Plan and efforts to revitalize North
B Street, Mayor Robert Ross said.
Its wise to periodically look at

The Peninsula Italian American Social Club has honored Maria Fassio Pignati as Queen Isabella to preside over
the festivities at the annual Columbus Day Italian American Heritage Celebration.
By Dave Newlands
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Most days, the Peninsula Italian
American Social Club quietly goes
about its business of banquets and
bocce ball on the edge of down-
town San Mateo, and not many
outsiders are the wiser. On
Saturday, Oct. 11, however, the
club is stepping out and inviting
the entire Peninsula to join in the
annual Columbus Day Italian
American Heritage Celebration.
Each year, a variety of events are
held to celebrate the Peninsulas
Italian American community, and a
Queen Isabella is chosen to pre-
side over the festivities. This year
the honor of queen has been
bestowed upon Maria Fassio
Pignati.
Unlike in the past, when the
queen was selected by ticket sales
or a pageant-style contest, the
selection of recent queens has
been based mostly on civic activi-
ties.
We nally came up with the idea
that we wanted to honor a distin-
guished woman who has done
something of signicance for our
community, Event Chair Terry
Anderlini said. So based on their
contribution to the community,
their charitable activities, their
leadership activities and their
governmental activities we select
our Queen Isabella.
Pignatis qualifications are
many and varied. She has already
been knighted by the Italian gov-
ernment for her work in the Italian
community and, like past queens,
she is highly involved in local
Italian American clubs and organi-
zations, most notably the Sons of
Italy Grand Lodge of California.
Were extremely happy that
shes going to represent us, said

A scaled down Transit Village
design drew praise at Monday
nights Planning Commission
meeting even from residents who
spent years arguing the develop-
ment would generate more trafc,
noise and dark shadows in the area.
Oh what a difference 10 years
has made. This is a really impres-
sive project and Im kind of excit-
ed about it, believe it or not, said
Ben Fuller, president of the Greater
East San Carlos group which led
the charge against the Transit
Village for years.
Asignicant change to the plan
is the elimination of an under-
ground parking garage which may
push more cars into nearby neigh-
borhoods.
Developer Legacy Partners did
away with the subterranean park-
ing as a way to conform with the
City Councils imposed three-
story height limit while still mak-
ing the mixed-use project around
the existing train station econom-
ically viable. Instead of the origi-
nal parking plan, the new Transit
Village design calls for 174 sur-
face spaces and 114 individual res-
idential garages.
Fuller said the neighborhood
group expects that parking struc-

Motto engraved on library
gets lost in translation
MOORESTOWN, N.J. The Latin
motto engraved on the wall of a new
library in southern New Jersey got lost
in translation.
Officials had thought the phrase
Nos Secundus Coniecto Omnia
meant we conrm all things twice.
But it actually means we second-guess
all.
Moorestown architect Rick Ragan
tells the Burlington County Times he
learned of the problem from residents
who translated it online.
Ragan says hell pay a stone cutter
to change the phrase to We encourage
all. Hell also have the Roman numer-
als xed to reect the proper year.
Mayor Chris Chiacchio tells the
newspaper a mistake is only a mistake
if you do not have the courage to cor-
rect it.
Balloon stolen at
Albuquerque Balloon Fest
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. A
California woman wasnt able to honor
her late husband at the Albuquerque
International Balloon Fiesta after a
thief made off with the balloon her
daughter planned to pilot.
Police say Lucinda Wallaces hot air
balloon was taken sometime early
Saturday morning from the Nativo
Hotel. The suspect also took a trailer
holding the balloon and a Chevrolet
Suburban with a California license
plate that reads baluner.
Wallace says daughter Marilyn was
going to y it in memory of her father.
Rick Wallace died more than two
months ago of cancer.
The balloon is blue with a rainbow
design and a U.S. ag on the side.
Meanwhile, the family ew back to
their Santa Monica, California, home
to get another balloon and drive back
to the Fiesta.
Washington crews try
to oust persistent beaver
PORT ORCHARD, Wash. A road
crew in Washington state has had it
with a beaver that persists in building
a dam under a bridge.
Crews have removed a beaver dam
three times since August. Each time the
beaver rebuilds it near Port Orchard, on
the west side of Puget Sound, across
from Seattle. One was as large as 40
feet long and 3 feet high.
Kitsap County Roads Superintendent
Jacques Dean tells KOMO that he
appreciates how industrious the ani-
mals are, but the water threatens to
undermine bridge abutments.
The county decided to spend $15,000
to hire a beaver trapper.
Man floating in bubble
rescued by Coast Guard
ORLANDO, Fla. A longtime
endurance runner and peace activist
whose latest goal was to reach Bermuda
in a homemade oating Hydro Pod
was rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard on
Saturday after he began suffering from
fatigue.
Coast Guard air crew were able to
safely pick up Reza Baluchi and the
bubble Saturday morning, Coast Guard
spokeswoman Marilyn Fajardo said in
a statement. He was transported to a
nearby Coast Guard station and found
to be uninjured, Fajardo said.
A statement on Baluchis website
said the Iranian exile had planned to
make the 1,033-mile trip in his self-
designed bubble to raise money for
children in need and to ... inspire
those that have lost hope for a better
future.
Baluchi has made headlines many
times before with previous efforts to
break long-distance running and
cycling records , including one six-
month journey in which he ran around
the perimeter of the United States, and
a seven-year bike trip that he said
brought him across 55 countries on six
continents. His self-professed mission
is to promote world peace and unity.
His perimeter run was to raise money
for a childrens hospital, according to
his website.
Baluchi was granted asylum in the
United States in 2003 after being
arrested in Iran for so-called pro-
Western and anti-Islamic activities,
including eating during the holy
month of Ramadan, according to his
lawyer at the time, Suzannah Maclay.

Search and rescue teams discovered human
remains in a rural area of Shasta County
believed to be those of Paul Merrill, the 87-
year-old Belmont man reported missing
since early September, according to
Belmont police.
Shasta County Sheriffs Search and
Rescue located the remains after a two-day
search approximately 100 yards where
Merrills car was located last week outside
the town of Burney. All indications point to
the remains being that of the missing
Belmont man, according to police.
On Thursday, Oct. 2, a rancher clearing
brush on his land came across the 1956
Mercedes SL190 owned
by Merrill. The car was
off a dirt road on the
ranchers 500-acre prop-
erty and appeared to have
been at that location for
some time. Property
belonging to Merrill,
including his wallet and
car keys were found in the
car, according to police.
A search of the area where Merrills car
was found was launched on Friday by the
Shasta County Sheriff, with assistance from
CHPAir Operations. On Saturday, searchers
located human remains in heavily wooded
and steep terrain, according to police.
Merrill had been initially reported miss-
ing to Belmont Police on Thursday, Sept. 4,
when a family member reported that he had
gone on a trip to the Mt. Shasta area and had
not been heard from after checking out of a
hotel in McCloud, in Siskiyou County.
After an extensive search effort by Siskiyou
County Sheriffs Ofce, the investigation
shifted to the Redding area of Shasta County
Sept. 16, following reported sightings
there, according to police.
There is no indication of foul play at this
time, however, the remains were turned
over to the Shasta County Coroner for fur-
ther investigation.

One of two transit repairmen accused of
stealing more than $40,000 from Caltrain
ticket machines were acquitted by a jury
on five counts of embezzlement.
The same jury, which deliberated four
days, also deadlocked on seven other
charges against Herbert David Todd, 56.
Prosecutors will announce Oct. 21 if they
will seek a retrial on those seven other
counts of embezzlement.
The case of Orvilla Taylor, 62, was sev-
ered from Todd and begins trial Oct. 21.
Prosecutors say the
men, both employees of
the San Mateo County
Transit District for more
than 25 years, stole
money on 12 separate
dates in 2010 from bro-
ken ticket machines
they brought in to
repair.
They were accused of
disassembling the equipment, taking the
money and returning the machines to
service.
Caltrain discovered
money was missing dur-
ing an internal audit and
the defendants were
reportedly caught acting
suspicious and irregu-
lar on station surveil-
lance videos, according
to the District
Attorneys Office.
Taylor and Todd were each placed on
unpaid administrative leave after their
charges were filed. They remain free from
custody on $150,000 bail each.

Caltrain for design/build plans for electrification
Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation that allows the
Caltrain electrication project to proceed as a design/build
project that allows agencies to combine design and construc-
tion activities into one contract, which helps manage risk,
speed up project delivery, foster innovation and potentially
reduce cost, according to the transit agency.
Transit agencies authority to issue design/build contracts
expires at the end of this year, but Senate Bill 785, extends the
authorization until 2024. Extension of design build/authority
was necessary for Caltrains electrication project to proceed
as planned, according to the transit agency.
Part of the Caltrain Modernization Program, the electrica-
tion project will transform the system from a diesel-based
service to an electried overhead system, featuring high-per-
formance electric trains that operate off an overhead power
system. In September 2013, Caltrain approved the use of the
design/build contracting approach for designing and
installing the electrication infrastructure. Arequest for quali-
cations has been issued to potential contractors. Arequest for
proposal will be issued January 2015 and contract award
expected in fall 2015, according to the transit agency.

Gov. Jerry Brown jumped into the
crowded Oakland mayoral campaign
Monday by endorsing Councilwoman
Libby Schaaf, who was an aide to him
during part of the eight years he served
as the citys mayor.
After arriving more than half an hour
late at an event at Schaafs campaign
headquarters on Grand Avenue that was
attended by about 100 of her supporters,
Brown said Schaaf is the best candidate
because, Shes a down-to-earth person
with a lot of common sense and shes
done a good job on the City Council.
Brown, who has lived in Oakland for
many years and was the citys mayor
from 1999 through 2006, said that if
Schaaf is elected over the other 14 can-
didates in the mayoral election,
Oakland can take the next step for-
ward.
Brown said, There
are a lot of good can-
didates on the ballot
and Im not her to
point ngers at
anyone but he thinks
Schaaf is the best
person on the job.
Schaaf, who has
been on the City
Council the past
four years, said, I
am incredibly proud and humbled to be
endorsed by a great governor and a great
Oaklander, and a pretty good mayor
besides.
Schaaf said if shes elected, she will
bring the city what she described as,
Jerry Brown style roll-up-your
sleeves, get-something-done energy.
Schaaf said, Im excited about doing
better because this city can be safer,
cleaner and take better care of its chil-
dren.
She said Oakland is ready to reach its
potential but it needs better leader-
ship.
Brown said the candidates hes
endorsed in his 45 years in public life
have had a pretty good track record in
elections but he admitted that the candi-
date he endorsed for mayor of Oakland
in 2008, former state Senate President
Pro Tem Don Perata, lost to Jean Quan,
who is seeking re-election in this
years race.
Quan has been endorsed by Oakland
City Councilmembers Noel Gallo and
Dan Kalb, San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee
and a number of labor organizations.
Councilwoman Rebecca Kaplan,
another top candidate, has been
endorsed by the California Nurses
Association, the Oakland reghters
union, Service Employees International

With changes on the horizon for the
San Mateo County Harbor District, its
course could shift with the November
election as nine candidates are vying
for three seats on the Board of
Commissioners.
The special district, which oversees
Pillar Point Harbor in Half Moon Bay
and Oyster Point Marina/Park in South
San Francisco, receives about half of
its $10 million budget from property
taxes. In July, the San Mateo County
Civil Grand Jury slammed the district
and recommended dissolution. County
ofcials are now studying whether the
districts breadth of responsibilities,
such as operating the coasts search
and rescue team, maintaining a variety
of infrastructure and managing an RV
park, could be absorbed by other agen-
cies.
A two-year-term commissioner seat
is sought after by appointed incum-
bent Will Holsinger, who lled the
term for the late Leo Padreddii, charter
boat captain Tom Mattusch and Robert
Grant. Commissioners Jim Tucker and
Robert Bernardo are also seeking re-
election to their four-year posts
against four new candidates Nicole
David, Kimberley Collins, Shawn
Mooney and Brian Rogers. The four-
year race will be covered in a later arti-
cle.
Whoever voters across the county
choose, commissioners will be tasked
with hiring a new general manager as
Peter Grenell announced hell retire in
2015 after 17 years with the district.
The board will also oversee the devel-
opment of a strate-
gic business plan
and face county
inquiries into
potential dissolu-
tion.
Grant, a Pescadero
resident and small
business owner, said
the current boards
dysfunction has led
to a lack of focus on
the districts

Theyre almost dic-

own agendas.
Mattusch, a sport
shing charter boat
captain at Pillar
Point Harbor, said
the shing commu-
nity lacks represen-
tation on the board
and the district
needs rm leadership.
We need people that are willing to
work together and discuss things,
Mattusch said. Changing the compo-
sition of the board will go a long
way.
Holsinger, who was appointed to the
board in 2011, lost his re-election in
2012 and appointed again in 2013,
said the districts nances are sound
and four of the ve current commis-
sioners work well together.
I have a good relationship with the
senior staff and I still nd there are
good things to be done, Holsinger
said. Theres been a delay in part
because of some attention being
required in terms of just getting
along.
Personalities clash
Conict at district meetings is well
documented and criticized by the pub-
lic. Commissioner Sabrina Brennan
raises concerns and is often at odds
with Holsinger, Tucker, Bernardo and
Pietro Parravano, president of the
Board of Commissioners.
The district hired a facilitator to help
mend the board, but efforts have been
postponed until after the election,
Holsinger said.
Holsinger said he works well with
everyone except Brennan whos been
overly critical of her peers and district
staff.
Its part of her political agenda to
take over the district and oust the
incumbents and staff, Holsinger said.
Everyone else is getting along.
Grant said the board has been run by
the good ol boys club with Jim, Wi l l
and Robert a little bit as well, but all
of the current commissioners are at
fault for failing to set aside their differ-
ences and focus on district issues.
Grant said he would work with both
sides to get the commission back on
track.
Mattusch said, after 20 years of
being around the harbor, the district is
notorious for having personality con-

Court clears the way for
gay marriage expansion
By Mark Sherman
WASHINGTON The Supreme
Court unexpectedly cleared the
way Monday for a dramatic
expansion of gay marriage in the
United States and may have sig-
naled that its only a matter of
time before same-sex couples can
marry in all 50 states.
Rejecting appeals from five
states seeking to preserve their
bans, the Supreme Court effec-
tively made such marriages legal
in 30 states, up from 19 and the
District of Columbia, taking in
every region of the country.
Challenges are pending in the
other 20 states.
Almost immediately, exuber-
ant couples began receiving mar-
riage licenses previously denied
to them. This is the dream day,
said Sharon Baldwin, a plaintiff
in a challenge to Oklahomas
ban, as she and her partner got
their license in the Tulsa
County Clerks Office.
Directly affected by Mondays
orders were Wisconsin, Indiana,
Oklahoma, Utah and Vi rgi ni a.
Officials in those states had
appealed lower court rulings in
an effort to preserve their bans.
Couples in six other states
Colorado, Kansas, North
Carolina, South Carolina, West
Virginia and Wyoming should
be able to get married in short
order since those states would be
bound by the same appellate rul-
ings that have been on hold.
While county clerks in a num-
ber of states quickly began issu-
ing licenses to gay and lesbian
couples, in some other states
affected by the courts action
officials did not sound ready to
give up the fight. However, their
legal options are limited.
Mondays terse orders from the
court were contained among more
than 1,500 rejected appeals that
had piled up over the summer.
The outcome was not what either
side expected or wanted. Both
gay marriage supporters and
opponents had asked the court to
resolve whether the Constitution
grants same-sex couples the
right to marry nationwide.
The justices did not explain
why they decided to leave that
question unanswered for now.
They may be waiting for a federal
appeals court to break ranks with
other appellate panels and
uphold state laws defining mar-
riage as between a man and a
woman. Or they may see little
role for themselves as one court
after another strikes down state
marriage bans.

WASHINGTON Americans
lack confidence in the govern-
ments ability to protect their per-
sonal safety and economic securi-
t y, a sign that their widespread
unease about the state of the
nation extends far beyond poli-
tics, according to the latest
Associated Press-GfK poll.
With Election Day about a
month away, more than half those
in the survey said Washington can
do little to effectively lessen
threats such as climate change,
mass shootings, racial tensions,
economic uncertainty and an
unstable job market.
I think what weve got going
on here in America is the perfect
storm of not good things, said
Joe Teasdale, 59, who lives in
southwest Wisconsin and works
as an assistant engineer at a casi-
no.
For many of those questioned in
the poll, conducted before doctors
in Texas diagnosed a Liberian man
with the Ebola virus, the concern
starts with the economy.
The poll found that 9 in 10 of
those most likely to vote in the
Nov. 4 election call the economy
an extremely or very important
issue. Teasdale is among those
who say the slow recovery from
the recession is a top concern.
Despite improvements nation-
ally, business is far from boom-
ing in his state, Teasdale said.
Hes been supplementing his
stagnant salary by renovating and
renting out duplexes and has little
faith the situation will improve
soon. He wants government to
get out of the way of business.
If youre putting so much
restriction on them where it isnt
practical for them to expand or
grow, why should they? Teasdale
asked.
Poll: Americans worry can government protect us?
LOCAL/WORLD 8
Arlene Nunziati, state recording secretary
for the Grand Lodge of California. Shes
been in the order since she was a very, very
young woman and she worked her way up
through the ofces.
Pignatis devotion to her heritage is not
the only thing that has been with her since
childhood.
Maria Pignati is kind of an unusual can-
didate because she is also a fabulous
singer, Anderlini said. She sings opera.
She sings beautiful Italian songs. Shes a
pro.
Pignatis love of music has been tied to
her Italian roots since she was a child. She
grew up living upstairs from the family
restaurant, Leones, in San Franciscos
North Beach neighborhood where she
played unofcial hostess.
Cant get more Italian than that, said
Pignati, 60. We had stairs that took us
from our kitchen downstairs to the restau-
rant, and I would go downstairs I was a
little girl, 5 or 6 years old and I would
talk to the customers and I would sing to
them. At that age I probably did Twinkle,
Twinkle, Little Star, and the alphabet
song.
The blend of music and Italian culture in
Pignatis life has come a long way since the
alphabet song. She is an accomplished
operatic soprano in the Trio Amore ensem-
ble, and has sung the national anthem for
the San Francisco Giants Italian Heritage
Night, an event she co-chairs.
Ive been able to use my music to make
myself happy, Pignati said. And more
importantly, I hope, to make other people
happy.
Though Pignatis life has been full of
honors and achievements, this years cele-
bration will bring her journey full circle.
From her youth singing in the family
restaurant and being crowned princess of the
parade, she will now sing the anthems at the
celebration where she will be crowned
queen.
Ive been involved with Columbus Day
in San Francisco for many years, so this
was a real treat for me to be chosen Queen
Isabella here in San Mateo where I live,
Pignati said. Im joyful that Im Italian. I
have a wonderful history behind me ... all
these wonderful things that were handed
down to me, and I pass these on to my son,
and I hope that he passes them on to his
children. Theres a lot of pride and a lot of
joy in being Italian.
Though Italian pride is of great impor-
tance to Pignati, and to the Columbus Day
celebration, community is what makes that
pride worthwhile. Italian or not, theres
room for everyone in la famiglia, and at the
celebration. The event is about sharing
Italian pride with, and expressing gratitude
to the greater community, Anderlini said.
We encourage non-Italians and anybody
who wants to come down to come and join
the fun, Anderlini said. I dont think its
important to us who discovered America
certainly we want to say Columbus did
but its more about having that one day to
celebrate our Italian American heritage and
do something worthy for the community
and charitable endeavors.
Last year, the event raised about $14,000
for the Peninsula Social Club Scholarship
Fund, and this year, the proceeds will be
split between that fund and the Sons of Italy
Western Foundation Scholarship. The Sons
of Italy fund awards monetary scholarships
to outgoing high school seniors, and awards
a trip to Italy to two students per year.
The celebration included a bocce ball tour-
nament and cookout Saturday, Oct. 4. Adin-
ner dance with traditional Italian cuisine and
live music will be Saturday, Oct. 11, and the
group will have a oat in the San Francisco
Columbus Day parade on Sunday, Oct. 12.

Club is 100 N. B St., in San Mateo. Its

tions and event information please call

PIGNATI

MURSITPINAR, Turkey Islamic State
fighters backed by tanks and artillery
pushed into an embattled Syrian town on
the border with Turkey on Monday, touch-
ing off heavy street battles with the towns
Kurdish defenders.
Hours after the militants raised two of
their Islamic State groups black ags on
the outskirts of Kobani, the militants punc-
tured the Kurdish front lines and advanced
into the town itself, the Local Coordination
Committees activist collective and the
Britain-based Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights said.
Theyre fighting inside the city.
Hundreds of civilians have left, said
Observatory director Rami Abdurrahman.
The Islamic State controls three neighbor-
hoods on the eastern side of Kobani. They
are trying to enter the town from the south-
west as well.
The center of the town was still in Kurdish
hands, Abdurrahman said. Kurdish ofcials
could not be immediately reached for com-
ment.
Since it began its offensive in mid-
September, the Islamic State group has bar-
relled through one Kurdish village after
another as it closed in on its main target
the town of Kobani, also known as Ayn
Arab. The assault has forced some 160,000
Syrians to ee and put a strain on Kurdish
forces, who have struggled to hold off the
extremists even with the aid of limited U.S.-
led airstrikes.
Capturing Kobani would give the Islamic
State group, which already rules a huge
stretch of territory spanning the Syria-Iraq
border, a direct link between its positions
in the Syrian province of Aleppo and its
stronghold of Raqqa, to the east. It would
also crush a lingering pocket of resistance
and give the group full control of a large
stretch of the Turkish-Syrian border.
After initially setting up positions to the
east, south and west of the town, the Islamic
State group shelled Kobani for days to try to
loosen up the defenses. Just across the fron-
tier in Turkey, the steady thud of artillery,
sharp crackle of gunfire and plumes of
smoke rising over the rooftops testied to
the intensity of the ght all day Monday.
ISIS is advancing further toward Kobani
day by day, said Ismet Sheikh Hassan, the
defense chief for Kurdish forces in the area,
using an alternative name for the Islamic
State group. ISIS is ghting with tanks and
heavy weapons and they are ring randomly
at Kobani. There are many civilian casual-
ties because of the shelling.
The Syrian Observatory for Human
Rights said about 20 Islamic State ghters
managed to sneak into the eastern part of
Kobani overnight, but were ambushed and
killed by Kurdish militiamen.
Syrian Kurdish forces have long been
among the most effective adversaries of the
Islamic State group, keeping the extremists
out of the Kurdish enclave in northeastern
Syria even as the militants routed the armed
forces of both Syria and neighboring Iraq.
But in recent weeks the overstretched
Kurds have struggled to counter the increas-
ingly well-armed militants, who have been
strengthened by heavy weapons looted
from captured Syrian and Iraqi military
bases.

OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
By Tim E. Strinden
I
n June, the Belmont City Council
imposed a code of ethics and conduct
on all elected and appointed city of-
cials that severely restricts freedom of
speech including facial expressions. All
members of city boards and commissions
were required to sign the new code or be
red, and councilmembers who didnt sign
were ineligible for committee assign-
ments, and subject to censure for violating
the code.
All required ofcials did sign the new
conduct code, except for two courageous
and principled members of the Planning
Commission; Kristen Mercer and Karin
Hold, who refused to do so. The issue came
to a head at the Aug. 26 City Council meet-
ing, where former mayor Dave Warden,
Mercer and Planning Commission Chair
Mark Herbach explained clearly and pas-
sionately why the new code was seriously
awed and harmful. As a result of their tes-
timony, the council decided not to remove
Mercer and Hold because the code was not
in effect when they were appointed.
However, any new appointees would still
be required to sign.
I greatly admire and appreciate Warden,
Mercer and Herbach for their courage and
integrity in confronting the council on
this issue. I agree with them that the code
is excessive and unnecessary, and will
serve to intimidate city employees and hin-
der free speech. Their comments to the
council are a perfect example of the dangers
posed by the code. If they had been on the
council when making their comments, they
could easily have been censured for violat-
ing the following sections of the code:
A.3. Making personal charges or
verbal attacks upon the character or
motives of other members of Council.
B.1(b) Making personal, impertinent
... or disparaging comments.
B.1(c) Making per-
sonal comments that
could offend other mem-
bers.
However, their com-
ments were justied and
reasonable in illustrating
aws in the code, and
their personal references
to Mayor Warren
Lieberman were appropriate and relevant in
claiming that his past comments would
have violated the code. As long as personal
comments are truthful and relevant, it is a
disservice to the political process and the
community to suppress them.
Probably all councilmembers past or
present could also have been censured
for making facial expressions of disbe-
lief, anger, as prohibited by section
B.2.(c), in response to comments by
speakers. Speakers at council meetings
often make outlandish and hostile com-
ments, and it is unreasonable to expect
councilmembers to sit stone-faced in
response, without showing any expres-
sion. These facial expressions are usually
spontaneous and it would violate human
nature not to show any reaction.
It appears to me that the new code of con-
duct could easily be used and abused by a
majority of councilmembers to stie and
control minority members who have
strong opposing views on certain subjects.
The vague wording leaves it open to broad
interpretation and misuse. I believe the
effect of the code will be to wring all pas-
sion, intensity and interest out of council
meetings, causing all issues to be treated in
the same ho-hum manner. However, we
elect our councilmembers expecting them
to speak and act with intensity on issues of
importance to the community, like the
Crystal Springs Upland School proposal.
We dont want such issues to slip through
the council unnoticed, and expect the coun-
cil to show some passion in discussing
them. Therefore, this new conduct code
undercuts our rights as citizens to have
councilmembers ght forcefully and effec-
tively for us on these important issues.
I wish to thank Mercer and Hold for
standing by their principles and refusing to
sign the new code. Warden, Mercer, Hold
and Herbach are public servants of the
highest caliber, and I worry that this new
code will make such effective employees
reluctant to work for the city. As for
myself, I would not sign the code, so am
prohibited from serving on any city board
or commission. Over time, the city may
attract only council and board members
who are spineless bureaucrats, afraid to
take action or fully express themselves for
fear of offending someone. Such weak
advocates for the city are more likely to be
intimidated and manipulated, and make
decisions in favor of special interests
rather than the citizens overall.
As Mercer said to the council, there are
already enough ethics and conduct rules on
the books to sufce without this new one. I
agree with Herbach that the new code
almost smacks of McCarthyism, and
request that it be repealed before it can
cause extensive harm to the community. At
a minimum, I ask that the egregious sec-
tions I cited be eliminated. As I know from
my experience as an auditor and whistle-
blower for U.S. Customs, there is no more
important right in our society than freedom
of speech.

Rent control
Editor,
In response to Mr. George Silvas cry for
rent control (We need a watchdog for the
housing market in the Oct. 4 edition of the
Daily Journal), I suspect that he, and any-
one else that advocates rent control, has
never been a landlord.
For that matter, I doubt that they have
ever run their own business. It is easy and
convenient to visualize all landlords as
greedy, faceless, corporate behemoths but
many rental properties are owned by indi-
viduals. The rentals are their business, their
income and their retirement. For the most
part, the rent is not determined by the land-
lord but by the marketplace and by the
demand. It is easy to forget that the landlord
is responsible for replacing appliances,
repairing leaky roofs and making mortgage
payments if the renter fails to pay the rent
or if the apartment is vacant. Imagine if
other businesses were restricted as to their
charges. Imagine if an outside entity
restricted what a restaurant could charge.
What would be their incentive to put out a
better product? Since they cant increase
their income, wouldnt you expect them to
start cutting corners to reduce their expens-
es? The same can be said for most business-
es including rental property. The same
rationale applies to the individual worker.
Mr. Silva, unless you are accepting of an
outside entity restricting what you can earn
in your job, you shouldnt be asking for
those type of restrictions to be placed on
others. Be careful what you wish for.

Fair and balanced opinion
Editor,
Hopefully, we can all agree that thinking
and acting objectively on all the issues
before us is both an ongoing challenge and
an ongoing responsibility.
To this end, the Daily Journals guest
columnist Jonathan Madison merits full
membership in this noble band of dedicated
citizens who are truly fair and balanced
(Conicting ideologies that drive our
country in the Oct. 4 edition of the Daily
Journal). Mr. Madison carefully analyzes
the proper role of government in providing
a balance between our system of free enter-
prise and democracy. What is interesting is
that Madison presents his case without
once resorting to partisan name calling or
falling back on worn political dogma.
Mr. Madisons opinion piece is an excel-
lent example of clear, concise and in-depth
scholarship and he deserves to be duly rec-
ognized for it.

Free speech and Belmont Fear factor
O
K, u. Time to step it up a little.
You used to be one of the scariest
things going around, probably
because of your stealthy danger. At rst
blush, you seemed like just the slightly more
nasty cousin to the common cold when
bam! out of nowhere youd kick it up to a
sinus infection or bronchitis or pneumonia
for some real doom and gloom. Doorknobs.
Close quarters in elevators. Day care. Public
restrooms. You lurked everywhere.
Granted, u,
your fearsome
street cred took
a brief hit when
SARS came to
town. For one
thing, nobody
still knows
what SARS
stands for
which is
always a good
move.
Confusion
helps breed
trepidation. But then that fell away and the
u took its spot back in the fearsome lineup.
The years of publicized hysteria didnt hurt
your reputation much, either. After years of
feeling like little more than an annoying
wintery rite of passage, the 2009 pandemic
reminded the world who you really are. Like
a shapeshifting viral ninja, you mutated at
will and kept health ofcials and the public
on its toes. Look out; the OG of infection is
back!
One year, it was the avian u that was
going to kill everybody. H1N1 still gives
good copy especially when referred to as the
more dangerous sounding swine u. Area-
specic u popped up in Hong Kong and
China. And bird u wait, thats avian.
Arent they all avian? See so many
strains it is hard to keep it straight. The
good ol Spanish Inuenza of 1918 sounds
so less complicated.
Flu season used to be cause for an annual
public health blitz. Like clockwork around
this time of year, the press releases went out
telling people to shelf the West Nile fears
and buckle down for annual u season.
Vampire cough. Hand washing. Buckets of
sanitizer. Face mask optional.
The chain drugstores ate up the dire warn-
ings. At 30 bucks a shot or so it didnt seem
like too bad a money maker although lets
hope their motives are mainly altruistic.
Taken together, the efforts said that the u
should not be taken lightly.
Right now, though, few people are particu-
larly worried or stockpiling the vitamin C
and echinacea. Its all ebola this and
enterovirus 68 that. And for good reason.
One might be more likely to get the u three
times in any given year than even come
close to contracting ebola. Then again, the
u doesnt make your eyeballs bleed.
And this enterovirus who even heard of
that before children began falling ill with
respiratory symptoms? Again, confusion
and previous ignorance of a condition adds
to the nervousness. See SARS above.
Sidenote: what if a prevention for
enterovirus existed and anti-vaccine parents
had to choose between inoculating their kids
or risk their paralysis and death? Just a
thought.
But thats not the point. The point is that
u needs to reclaim its crown. If it doesnt ,
chances are the masses will grow compla-

Big movers

NEW YORK Some encouraging
corporate news failed to give the broad-
er stock market a boost on Monday, and
stocks edged lower as investors waited
for news on the outlook for the Federal
Reserves interest rate policy.
Hewlett-Packard jumped after
announcing that it is splitting itself in
two. One company will focus on per-
sonal computers and printing and the
other on technology services. Medical-
equipment maker Carefusion surged on
word that it was being acquired by its
rival Becton Dickinson and Co.
But after opening higher, stocks gave
up their early gains and alternated
between small gains and small losses.
The markets bull run has faltered in
recent weeks and the Standard & Poors
500 index logged its biggest monthly
drop since January last month. Stocks
rebounded from that slump on Friday
after a report showed a pickup in hiring
last month, but many investors remain
uncertain about the outlook for stocks
as the Fed nears the end of its bond-buy-
ing stimulus program and considers
raising rates.
The tug of war between the bulls and
the bears is ongoing now, said Quincy
Krosby, a market strategist at
Prudential Financial.
The S&P 500 fell 3.08 points, or 0.2
percent, to 1,964.82. The Dow Jones
industrial average dropped 17.78
points, or 0.1 percent, to 16,991.91.
The Nasdaq composite fell 20.82
points, or 0.5 percent, to 4,454.80.
Hewlett-Packard gained after
announcing that it is splitting itself in
two. One company will focus on per-
sonal computers and printing and the
other on technology services such as
data storage, servers and software. The
stock climbed $1.67, or 4.7 percent, to
$36.87.
Carefusion jumped $10.58, or 22.9
percent, to $56.75 on news that it was
being acquired by a rival. New Jersey
medical equipment maker Becton
Dickinson and Co. said it will pay
$12.2 billion for the company, in a
combination focused on medication
systems for hospitals and pharmacies.
Becton climbed $9.14, or 7.9 percent,
to $124.98.
The Fed is due to release minutes on
Wednesday of its policy meeting last
month and the central bank will end its
bond purchases this month. Now
investors are watching for clues about
the likely timing of any interest rate
hike.
Investors should remember that if the
Fed is raising rates, it will be because
the economy is strengthening, said
Karyn Cavanaugh, a senior market
strategist at Voya.
If the potential rise in interest rates
is predicated on stronger growth....and
if the market recognizes that earnings
are good, and the economy is good then
(higher rates) it shouldnt be much of an
event, said Cavanaugh.
H&R Block logged the biggest drop
in the S&P 500 after saying that its lat-
est attempt to sell its banking business
is getting delayed in the regulatory
approval process. The tax preparer said
it would not be able to complete the
deal before the next tax season. Its
stock dropped $1.75, or 5.5 percent, to
$29.91.
Nasdaq-listed GT Advanced
Technologies, a supplier to Apple, was
also among the days biggest losers.
The company, which is developing sap-
phire materials to replace glass on
some Apples products, lost almost all
of its market value after saying that it
was ling for bankruptcy. The stock
plunged $10.25, or 93 percent, to 80
cents.
In emerging markets, Brazils stock
market surged after the left-leaning
President Dilma Rousseff was forced
into a runoff race against Aecio Neves, a
center-right challenger, who only
surged in the nal week of the cam-
paign. Rousseff is promising to expand
Brazils social programs and continue
strong state involvement in the econo-
my, while Neves says he will pursue
more centrist economic approaches,
such as central bank independence,
more privatizations and the pursuit of
trade deals with Europe and the United
States.

SAN FRANCISCO Personal com-
puter sales have been in a slump for
years, as customers ock to increas-
ingly powerful smartphones, tablets
and other mobile devices. Now
Hewlett-Packard, the Silicon Valley
stalwart that was once the worlds
biggest seller of personal computers,
is splitting off its PC and printing
businesses. Its the latest shakeup in a
tech industry thats being reshaped by
the mobile revolution.
IBM sold its PC business years ago.
Dell took its struggles private. Can an
HP spinoff focused on personal com-
puting thrive?
Theres a significant transforma-
tion going on in that industry, and
maybe now HP can make its move,
said Forrester tech analyst Peter
Burris, one of several analysts who
say the iconic tech giant will need to
get better at building and selling
mobile gadgets if it wants the new
spinoff to succeed. HP has stumbled in
previous efforts to sell those devices.
HPs split is a sign that CEO Meg
Whitman sees more growth and prot
opportunity in selling commercial
tech products, including data-center
hardware, business software and cloud
services, some analysts say. Thats the
business she plans to lead, as chief
executive of a new company dubbed
Hewlett-Packard Enterprise.
That puts more pressure on the HPInc.
spinoff, which will be led by current PC
and printing executive Dion Weisler as
CEO. Though it was once the world
leader in both segments, HP is now No.
2 to Chinas Lenovo in PC sales.
Tablets now out-sell laptop comput-
ers. And no other major U.S. tech com-
pany is focused on selling only PCs.
Apple Inc.s growth in recent years has
been fueled by the phenomenal success
of its iPhone and iPad devices. Dell
also sells commercial computer hard-
ware and software. Even Lenovo is pur-
chasing IBMs server business and
taking over the Motorola smartphone
division from Google Inc.
PC sales arent going away entirely,
to be sure. There are still some cases
where PCs are more useful than small-
er-screen devices, especially in the
workplace, said Bob ODonnell of
TECHnalysis Research. The industry
sold more than 310 million desktop
and laptop computers last year, and
one out of six were sold by Palo Alto,
California-based HP. But global sales
fell 10 percent in 2013 and are likely
to fall another 4 percent this year,
according to the IDC research rm. PC
sales should level off in 2015, fore-
casts ODonnell.
They can be protable, he said,
but its a stable, at kind of market.
Printer ink has been a major source
of prot for HP in years past. But
printing also is a stagnating business,
as more people store photos and les
online and view them primarily on
their phones and tablets. Even so,
tying the printing business to PCs
should provide a stable source of rev-
enue for HP Inc. for some years to
come, said tech analyst Patrick
Moorhead of Moor Insights and
Strategy.
Can Hewlett-Packard
survive the tablet trend?
By Tom Krisher
DETROIT Eight months after
General Motors began recalling more
than 2 million cars because of a dead-
ly ignition-switch defect, less than
half the owners have gotten their
vehicles fixed.
At first, the problem was a shortage
of parts. But now the problem is peo-
ple.
Despite the heavy publicity sur-
rounding the scandal, many drivers
evidently havent heard of the recall
or havent grasped how serious the
defect is because it hasnt given them
any trouble.
As a result, GM has been forced to
go beyond the usual ominous-sound-
ing recall letters.
It has sent out Facebook messages
and made phone calls to owners of the
cars, mainly Chevrolet Cobalts and
Saturn Ions. CEO Mary Barra has even
sent a personal letter urging people to
get the switches replaced.
In some cases weve gone to the
owners home and gotten the vehicle,
gave them a loaner, and are working
to fix it, Barra said last week.
GM announced in February and
March that it was recalling the cars
after taking more than a decade to dis-
close the defect, now linked to at least
two dozen deaths.
The switches can slip out of the run
position, causing the engine to shut
off. That can knock out power-assist-
ed steering and disable the air bags.
Despite recall letters that bluntly
warn that the defect can lead to injury
and even death and despite five
congressional hearings and thou-
sands of news stories about the furor
only about 1.16 million of the
2.36 million affected vehicles still on
the road have been bought in for
repairs.
One of the unrepaired cars belongs
to Kim Atkins, a media relations spe-
cialist in Austin, Texas, who received
recall notices in April and June for her
2007 Cobalt. Busy with moving back
to her hometown from college and
starting a new job, she ignored them
bot h.

EBay debuts art auction site
NEWYORK Ready, set, bid.
EBays art auction service is going live on Monday,
allowing eBay users to bid on ne art and collectibles
online during physical auctions at 150 auction houses
in North America.
Auctions at most of the auction houses eBay is work-
ing with, including Doyle New York, Freemans, Garths
Auction and Swann Auction Galleries, take bids by
phone and online already, but typically the online bid-
ding process has been via the houses own website.
Working with eBay gives the online bidders an easier,
glitch-free experience, the company says.

houses, said Gene Cook, general manager of emerging
verticals for eBay Marketplaces.
Items for sale during the auctions are listed in advance

Virgin Galactic partners with Ted Turner lodge
TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES, N.M. Virgi n
Galactic is expanding lodging and entertainment
options in New Mexico for its roster of passengers who
hope to one day take ight into space.
The company said Monday its partnering with a
lodge in Truth or Consequences that is owned by media
mogul Ted Turner.
Aside from lodging, the Sierra Grande Lodge and Spa
will offer Virgin Galactic customers eco-safaris on
Turners two ranches in southern New Mexico.
Combined, the ranches cover more than 800 square

With Sequoia volleyballs move to the
Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division this
season, Leanne Robinson hasnt missed a beat.
Last season, Robinson was a wide-eyed
freshman on a Cherokees team which cap-
tured a PAL Ocean Division co-champi-
onship. She was a surefire offensive
weapon, leading Sequoia with 239 total
kills and 46 service aces.
While Robinson was a viable six-rotation
player for most of the 2013 season, shes
really come into her own this season. In a
pair of four-set wins last week, she tabbed 15
kills and 32 digs last Tuesday against
Woodside. Then Thursday, she totaled 11
kills and 20 digs against Hillsdale.
Because of her defensive prowess, with 52
total digs over two matches, Robinson has
been named the San Mateo Daily Journal
Athlete of the Week.
Shes improved tremendously and the
best part is shes only a sophomore,
Sequoia head coach Dustyn Woropay said.
In two years Im hoping for league titles
and MVP awards. Shes that kid who can go
as far as she wants with volleyball.
How far Robinson goes with volleyball
could get overshadowed by academia. That
is what happened to her older sister Joy a
senior on last seasons Sequoia squad
who bypassed an offer to play for the
Division-III program at Brandeis
University to attend Stanford; she is the
third generation of her family to do so.
Whether or not Leanne Robinson follows in
her sisters footsteps along with the foot-
steps of her grandparents Eileen and Gerald
Lehmer, and her parents Gary and Brenda is a
decision a long way off for the 5-9 sophomore,
unlike her Sequoia teammate Angela Hudelson,

Pablo Sandoval cant wrestle an errant Madison Bumgarner throw which to two Nationals runs to break a scoreless tie Monday in Game 3
of the National League Division Series.The best-of-ve series resumes Tuesday at AT&T Park.
By Janie McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO Doug Fister pitched
seven shutout innings and the Washington
Nationals took advantage of Madison
Bumgarners one off-target throw, staving
off elimination in the NL Division Series
with a 4-1 win against the San Francisco
Giants on Monday.
Fister dazzled again in San Francisco,
helping the Nationals cut their decit to 2-1
in the best-of-ve series and ending the
Giants 10-game postseason winning streak
that started with Game 5 of the 2012 NL
Championship Series against St. Louis.
Washington scored two runs on
Bumgarners throwing error in the seventh
inning to end the aces 21-inning scoreless
streak. Bryce Harper punctuated the victory
with a solo homer in the ninth.
Really it came down to every pitch,
Fister said. Fortunately a ball bounced our
way.
Drew Storen allowed to the rst two bat-
ters to reach in the bottom of the ninth but
shook off his postseason struggles, allow-
ing a run in closing it out as Washington
forced a Game 4 on Tuesday night.
Now, the 96-win Nationals will send left-
hander Gio Gonzalez up against San
Francisco right-hander Ryan Vogelsong.
On a day Bumgarner had been nearly
untouchable, his 21-inning postseason
scoreless streak ended on his own miscue.
Now, the Giants must wait another day to
try to eliminate the Nationals, who trail 2-1
in the best-of-ve series.
Bumgarner elded Wilson Ramos two-
strike sacrice bunt between the mound and
the rst-base line and red to third rather
than going for the sure out at rst.
Bumgarners throw sailed wide of Pablo
Sandovals outstretched glove and bounced
all the way to the tarp along the left-eld
wall before rolling over the bullpen mounds
where two relievers were warming up.
Sandoval nearly did the splits trying to
make the play and stayed down in pain as
the two runs scored. Trainers checked on the
third baseman and he remained in the game.
Asdrubal Cabrera followed with an RBI
single. He spent the nal eight innings
watching the Giants 2-1, 18-inning victo-
ry Saturday night after his ejection for argu-
ing a called third strike.
Fister outpitched Bumgarner at AT&TPark
for the second time in four months after a
June gem, leaving behind the frightening
memory of his October outing here in Game
2 of the 2012 World Series. Fister took a
line drive to the right side of his head that
day while also opposing Bumgarner
but stayed in the game and carried a shutout

S
erra head football coach Patrick
Walsh said the No. 1 goal of all
Padres programs is to win the
West Catholic Athletic League title.
The Padres took step No. 1 toward that
goal with a 24-10 win over Valley
Christian Friday night in San Jose. It was
a game many people believed would
determine the WCAL champion.
Walsh doesnt believe that for a sec-
ond.
Thats so ridiculous, Walsh said.
There is so much parity in this league. I
would say there is more parity this year
than in past years.
The rst weekend of WCAL play bore
that out as Serras
double-digit win was
the only one in the
league over the
weekend.
Bellarmine, St.
Francis and Mitty all
won their WCAL
openers by a com-
bined 11 points.
The Padres had a
rough go in their
rst two non-league
games, losing to De
La Salle (41-13) and
Notre Dame-Sherman Oaks (24-14) before
hammering South City 50-0 two weeks
ago before having a bye last week.
It was during that week off that Walsh,
his coaching staff and team had time to
reect and change the things that were
wrong, specically the offensive line.
We played decent special teams, we
played solid defensively (in our rst three
games). The Sunday after South City was a
dark day. Even though we won 50-0, it
didnt feel that way. We had problems,
said Walsh, who in addition to being the
head coach is also the offensive line
coach. My perception of why we were
bad up front was rooted in what we were
doing. I felt really bad about that. I failed
the kids. I made a vow during the bye
week to do everything I could to help
them by being better in the fundamentals.

NEWYORK The NFL has begun testing
for human growth hormone for the rst time,
three years after the league and players
union tentatively agreed to do so.
HGH testing was part of the 2011 labor
agreement but was delayed because the NFL
Players Association was not comfortable
with the procedures or science involved.
Both sides agreed last month on the new
policy, which took effect Monday.
Atotal of 950 tests will be performed dur-
ing the regular season, postseason and pre-
season. In the offseason, about 385 tests
will be done. Less than one tablespoon of
blood will be taken from each player.
Each week during the season, ve players
on eight teams will be chosen randomly for
testing as part of the normal testing proce-
dures under the NFLs performance enhanc-
ing drug policy. No tests will occur on game
days. Players subject to the blood testing
must be on the active roster, practice squad
or on injured reserve, and not already subject
to reasonable-cause testing.In the offsea-
son, every player under contract not already
undergoing reasonable-cause testing will be
tested to a maximum of 90 per team.
One stumbling block in the agreement was
the appeals process. Any appeal now will be
heard by a neutral person, not by NFL
Commissioner Roger Goodell or someone
he designated.
For the rst time in the history of the
NFL, our new collectively bargained poli-
cies usher in a neutral arbitration process for
appeals of positive drug tests, NFLPA
President Eric Winston said in a letter to
union members.
Major League Baseball is the only other
team sport in this country that tests for
HGH. Pro boxing and all Olympic sports
test for it.
The league and union also agreed to a min-
imum two-game suspension for a rst driv-
ing-under-the-influence conviction.
Longtime suspensions would be imposed for
cases with extenuating circumstances such
as personal injury or property damage, or in
cases of repeat offenders.

SPORTS 12
Bret t Wet t el and, Hi l l sdal e f oot-
bal l . The junior had one of his best per-
formances of the season in the Knights 42-
6 win over Mills. He threw for 295 yard,
completing 15 of 22 passes, with three
touchdowns and most importantly, only
one interception.
Tyl er Gonzal es, Hi l l sdal e footbal l .
The senior wide receiver was Wettelands
favorite target Saturday. Gonzales nished
with four catches for 105 yards and two
touchdowns.
Katie Smoot, Notre Dame-Belmont
vol l e ybal l . The sophomore nished with
a team-high 23 kills in a 25-18, 20-25, 20-
25, 26-24, 15-11 win over Presentation. It
was the Tigers rst West Catholic Athletic
League win since October 2012.
Leki Nunn, Serra f oot bal l . The
sophomore is playing quarterback for the
first time in his career in his first varsity
season. He had a solid performance in the
Padres 24-10 win over Valley Christian.
He completed 5 of 6 passes for 62 yards
and rushed for 85 yards and a touchdown
on 19 carries.
Serra defense, footbal l . The Padres
stood tall in the win over the Warriors, with
the defense holding the University of
Texas-bound Kirk Johnson to just 42 yards
on 11 carries nearly 100 yards below his
season average.
Tayl or Nobl e and Jul i a Chang,
Menl o- At hert on t e nni s . The pair
showed their versatility in a pair of Bears
win last week. The two teamed up to form M-
A No. 1 doubles tandem in the Bears 5-2
win over Carlmont Tuesday, winning their
match 7-6, 7-6. They then were placed in the
No. 4 and No. 3 singles spots, respectively
in a 7-0 win over Woodside Thursday. Noble
won her singles match 6-0, 6-0, while
Chang prevailed 6-0, 6-3.
V. A. Wi l s on, Aragon footbal l . In
just his second varsity start, the sophomore
running back scored three times and cracked
the 100-yard mark in the Dons 34-14 win
over Capuchino.
John Knox, Menl o-Athert on boys
water po l o . The Bears improved to 3-0 in
PAL Bay Division play with a convincing
18-8 victory over Burlingame last
Wednesday. Knox paced M-A with four
goals. The Bears have a bye in league this
week, but will stay sharp by traveling to St.
Francis Friday.
Charl i e Roth, Menl o School foot-
bal l . The junior running back had his best
showing of the season in the Knights 28-7
win over Soquel. Roth rushed for a team-
high 123 yards and a pair of touchdowns on
19 carries.
Devin Joos, Menlo-Athert on vol-
l eybal l . The senior outside hitter scorched
20 kills in the Bears sweep of Terra Nova last
Tuesday. It is the second time she has reached
the 20-kill plateau this season after totaling
24 kills through ve sets in the Sept. 4 sea-
son opener against Valley Christian.
Honor roll
who announced Monday she has verbally com-
mitted to play Division-I volleyball at New
Yorks St. Francis College.
As for Robinson, she is currently focused on
developing her wealth of volleyball talent.
Im not sure if I want to play in college at
all, Robinson said. Well see. Ill cross that
bridge when I get to it. Right now, Im just try-
ing to enjoy playing in high school.
Robinson has really rened her chops in
recent years, playing the past three seasons on
the club volleyball circuit. Prior to playing for
Encore this season, she played two years with
Vision, including the 2012-13 season with the
Vision Gold 14-and-under squad. Robinsons
setter for that team was current Menlo-Atherton
sophomore Kirby Knapp. And the two will
square off as opponents for the rst time ever
when Sequoia hosts rst-place M-AThursday.
That will be interesting, Robinson said.
Ive never played against her. That will be a
nerve-racking game. Its always tough to play
against people youve played with in club.
To hear Robinson talk about volleyball, she
continually reiterates two words: crafty and
condence.
Being crafty is something she learned from
playing with her sister. According to
Robinson, the two would often be paired
against one another in practice. Robinson
quickly learned from Joy the importance of
strong court vision as an attacker.
The best lesson I learned from my sister is
how crafty she is when shes hitting,
Robinson said. She sees the block really well.
Playing against her really helped me
become a crafty player in the front row, so Im
really glad I got to play with her.
Success in the back row, however, is all about
condence, according to Robinson.
Defensively, its all about condence,
Robinson said. If somebody hits a bullet at
you, if youre not condent in your tech-
nique, it will ricochet off you. But if you
think you can get there and get the ball up,
the technique will follow.
The staple of Robinsons prociency on the
court has always been her expertise from the
service line. Since she began playing seriously
at the age of 10, she was able to exact a hard,
low-trajectory serve to keep opposing defend-
ers off balance. She and junior Rachel Fink
have been running neck-and-neck in the
Cherokees aces category. Fink currently has
34 on the year while Robinson has 32.
But her defense is what has caused her to take
her game to the next level, according to
Woropay.
Its a testament to her, Woropay said.
Playing defense is all about will and how much
you want it shes still got a little ways to go.
But by the time shes a senior, I can see her
being one of the best players in the league.

into the seventh before Detroit lost 2-0 and
was swept.
Fister hardly needed that Japanese good luck
gurine that appeared in the NL East champi-
ons dugout Monday morning courtesy of
backup catcher Jose Lobaton. The right-han-
der, who grew up about two hours away in the
Central Valley city of Merced, gave up four
hits, struck out three and walked three.
Storen, the beleaguered closer who gave up
the tying run in Game 2, allowed Brandon
Crawfords sacrice y in the ninth before
nishing the 2-hour, 47-minute game for his
rst save. It was a far cry from Game 2, which
took a postseason record 6:23.
Five days after pitching a four-hitter in an
8-0 wild-card win at Pittsburgh, Bumgarner
was on a roll again, this time for the orange
towel-waving sellout home crowd of
43,627.
Ian Desmond singled to start the decisive
seventh and Harper walked to bring up
Ramos, who began the season as the
Nationals cleanup hitter. Harper slid into
home for the second run, hopped up and
hollered in triumph.
Bumgarner hadnt given up a postseason
run in 21 innings since Carlos Beltran
homered in the fourth inning of the Giants
Game 1 loss of the 2012 NLCS in St. Louis.
The pitcher had chances with the bat, too.
He came to the plate with the bases loaded
and two outs in the second to cheers of
Bum! Bum! before striking out.
Sandoval extended his postseason hitting
streak to 14 games with a leadoff single in
the second, the longest streak in Giants
postseason history and currently in baseball.
Brandon Belt was caught stealing in the
fourth, only the second time anyone tried to
steal against Fister all year.
Harpers three postseason homers are the
fourth-most before age 22 behind Mickey
Mantle, Miguel Cabrera and Andruw Jones
all with four.
Notes: Buster Posey is 3 for 14 (.214)
against Gonzalez, while Sandoval is 1 for
10. The Giants are hitting .250 overall
against the left-hander. Vogelsong has
allowed the Nationals to hit .280 against
him, with a .456 slugging percentage. Bryce
Harper is 1 for 8 against the right-hander
with four strikeouts. Span is 5 for 13 with
two doubles and a triple against Vogelsong.

By R.B. Fallstrom
ST. LOUIS John Lackey was just as adver-
tised for the St. Louis Cardinals. Their post-
season power surge has been a big surprise.
Kolten Wong hit a two-run homer to snap
a seventh-inning tie, Matt Carpenter went
deep for the third straight game and Lackey
pitched St. Louis past the Los Angeles
Dodgers 3-1 Monday night to give the
Cardinals a 2-1 lead in their best-of-ve NL
Division Series.
Well, we just kind of knew what we were
going to get, St. Louis manager Mike
Matheny said. He wants the ball. He
proves it by how he goes out and throws.
Facing elimination in St. Louis for the
second consecutive postseason, the Dodgers
will turn to ace Clayton Kershaw on short
rest Tuesday night in Game 4. Shelby Miller
makes his first playoff start for the
Cardinals, one win from a fourth straight
trip to the NL Championship Series.
The Cardinals nished off Los Angeles in
a six-game NLCS last fall, knocking out
Kershaw in the fth inning of a 9-0 blowout
in the nal game.
Two runners reached against Trevor
Rosenthal in the ninth before he earned his
second save of the series with an assist
from the grounds crew on
a rainy night.
Rosenthal said he was
unable to get his foot-
ing, missing badly on
consecutive pitches to
Juan Uribe, before the
grounds crew applied a
drying agent and raked
the mound. The right-
hander then threw a pair
of practice pitches and
regained his stride, retiring the next two
batters on ies to right for his sixth career
postseason save.
Hanley Ramirez had three of the Dodgers
seven hits, including an RBI double in the
sixth.
Lackey, acquired from Boston at the trade
deadline, gave up ve hits in seven innings
with eight strikeouts. The veteran right-
hander improved to 7-5 in postseason play,
including three wins for Boston last year
one against St. Louis in the World Series.
Asked what made the 35-year-old Lackey
so tough, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly
mentioned plate umpire Dale Scott.
I thought Dale was very generous,
Mattingly said. We had a lot of guys com-
plaining about the strike zone. We felt like he
was really generous, and that puts you in a bind.
You cant go too far with it, but really
generous.
Hyun-Jin Ryu pitched six solid innings
for the Dodgers in his rst start since a
shoulder injury on Sept. 12.
Pretty amazing, a guy can be off that
long and be that sharp, Mattingly said.
He settled down and went farther than we
thought.
St. Louis hit 105 homers in the regular
season, the second-lowest total in the
majors, ahead of only Kansas City. But the
Cardinals have shown plenty of power in
the playoffs.
Carpenter connected in the third and then
Wong, the rookie second baseman who was
picked off to end a World Series loss against
Boston last year, hit a two-run shot off loser
Scott Elbert to put the Cardinals ahead 3-1.
The season is so long. I never anticipat-
ed how long a full major league season is,
Wong said. Just ups and downs of not pro-
ducing and getting hurt really struck me hard
this year, but all in all it was a great year. I
learned a lot and Im just excited to be here
right now.
Carpenter and Albert Pujols are the only
Cardinals players to homer in three consec-
utive postseason games. Pujols did it in
2004, the rst two in the NLDivision Series
and the third in the NLCS.
Heavy rain fell briey in the bottom of
the seventh, when Molina greeted Elbert
with a double for his second hit. Molina
advanced on a sacrice before Wong drove
the next pitch into the Cardinals bullpen in
right-center.
Carpenter had eight homers in the regular
season and had never connected in consecu-
tive games before these playoffs. He ham-
mered a 1-2 pitch from Ryu over the right-
center wall leading off the third.
Yasiel Puig struck out in seven consecu-
tive at-bats before hitting a leadoff triple in
the sixth. Lackey almost got out of it, get-
ting Adrian Gonzalez on a y to shallow left
and striking out Matt Kemp before Ramirez
doubled to tie it.
The crowd of 47,574 was the largest for a
baseball game at 9-year-old Busch Stadium,
topped only by 48,263 for a soccer friendly
between Manchester City and Chelsea in
May 2013 with seating on the eld and in
the bullpens.
Before the game, Mattingly announced
Kershaw will start Game 4 on three days
rest instead of Dan Haren, the only way Los
Angeles has a chance to get two starts
apiece in this series out of its twin aces.
Zack Greinke would start Game 5 on regular
rest in Los Angeles on Thursday night.
Kershaw was 21-3 with a 1.77 ERA this
season and is a heavy favorite to win his
third NL Cy Young Award in four years, but
he blew a 6-1 lead in the Cardinals 10-9
Lackey, long balls lift Cards over Dodgers
By Joseph White
LANDOVER, Md. For nearly a half,
Seattles penalty yards outnumbered
Washingtons total yards. Those self-
inicted wounds, more than anything, kept
the Monday night game as close as it was.
Russell Wilson rushed for a career-high
122 yards on 11 carries, and the Seahawks
survived their neutral zone infractions,
holds, false starts and other miscues in a 27-
17 win over the Redskins, extending
Seattles tradition of dominance in prime
time while handing Washington another
deating moment under the lights.
Wilson also completed 18 of 24 passes
for 201 yards with two touchdowns for the
Seahawks (3-1), who displayed an uncharac-
teristic lack of crispness coming off their
bye. Seattle committed 13 penalties for 90
yards, including a holding, false start and
unsportsmanlike conduct calls that wiped
out three potential touchdowns by Percy
Harvin.
How bad was the Seahawks penalty bug?
It wasnt until a 4-yard run by Alfred Morris
with three minutes left in the rst half that
the Redskins total yards (47) passed
Seattles penalty yards (45) for good.
Marshawn Lynch ran for 72 yards on 17
carries and didnt enter the game until the
Seahawks second series. He stood on the
sideline, helmet on, during the rst drive,
and the team did not make an in-game
announcement regarding any sort of injury
to its leading rusher.
Seattle improved to an NFL-best 21-8 on
Monday nights, including nine wins in a
row. The team is also 11-1 in prime time
under coach Pete Carroll. Washington (1-4),
meanwhile, has dropped seven straight in
prime time and is 4-15 on Monday nights
since 2000.

I somehow lost sight of that. I had to look in the mirror.
Looks like the self-reection paid off because the Padres
put together their best performance of the season against
the Warriors. The offensive line paved the way to 239
yards rushing, taking a ton of pressure off sophomore
quarterback Leki Nunn. Without an effective running game,
too much was being put on a player who was playing quar-
terback for the rst time.
We put him in a bad situation. If we cant run the ball
with a sophomore quarterback, then were putting the ball
in his hands (to try and win games), Walsh said.
In addition, Walsh said the offense had to clean up every-
thing.
I knew having nine turnovers in three (non-league)
games was not a winning business model, Walsh said.
We needed to clean everything up offensively. We just
cant give Valley Christian the ball like that.
Friday, the Serra offense was as efcient as its been all
season. Walsh said the unit averaged nearly three rst
downs per possession, meaning the Padres were playing
keep-away from Valley Christians potent offense.
The game was won, however, on the defensive side.
First, the Padres contained Warriors running back Kirk
Johnson, who has orally committed to University of Texas
and was averaging nearly 150 yards rushing per game.
Serra held him to just 42 yards on 11 carries.
Secondly, and maybe even more important, was when
the Padres did commit a turnover a snap that sailed over
the punters head the defense kept the Warriors off the
scoreboard.
The defense did an awesome job, Walsh said. The
defense bowed their necks and held them inside the 10
(yard line).
And nally, with Serra clinging to a 17-10 lead and the
Warriors with the ball late, the defense made the play of
the game when defensive back Kelepi Lataimua recovered a
Valley Christian fumble.
The Padres, however, will have little time to bask in
Fridays win. Over the weekend, they already started
preparing for Fridays tilt against St. Ignatius which
will be Serras homecoming under the lights in San Mateo.
Now is not a time to take a step back, not with home-
coming against SI, Walsh said.

LOUNGE
By Josh Dubow
ALAMEDA With four straight losses to
open the season and the head coach having
already been red, there are plenty of nega-
tives to dwell on for the Oakland Raiders.
Thats why interim coach Tony Sparano
decided to focus on some of the positives
when he met with his team before his rst
practice on Monday.
He showed them what plays have been suc-
cessful. He praised the strong red zone defense,
a lack of sacks allowed, a major reduction in
penalties and told the play-
ers they have often been a
play or two away from win-
ning a game.
That message resonated
with a team desperate for
any kind of success.
He knows what this
team can do good. I think
he also knows what we
have done bad, and if you
focus on all the bad you can do they got this
thing called the tank that you go in, and you
stop caring about winning or losing and you
just come to work every day, defensive tack-
le Antonio Smith said. Thats not in my
DNAand I dont think its in nobody on this
teams DNA. Hes just making sure that were
going to have none of that on this team.
The Raiders were off last week after return-
ing from London, where they lost 38-14 to
Miami for their 10th straight defeat dating to
last season. That led to coach Dennis Allen
being red last Tuesday and Sparano held only
a brief meeting with the team before the play-
ers left for the bye week.
I think you rarely want a bye week this
early because then you have to run off so many
straight games. But for us it kind of came at
the right time where we get a chance to break
up all the stuff, clear our minds of every-
thing, running back Maurice Jones-Drew
said. We had a week to just get that out of our
system and get back to playing football.
Thats all were here for and all we care about.
Sparano introduced a few changes already.
He altered the practice schedule to have
players come in later for a more intense
Wednesday practice before tapering off later
in the week. He added periods to practice to
work on fundamentals and increased the
tempo at practice.

SANTA CLARA San Francisco 49ers
CEO Jed York stopped by Jim Harbaugh's
ofce Monday morning, and the coach said
the two had a "real good talk" about the direc-
tion of the franchise.
Harbaugh called the meeting a "typical"
conversation, though nothing surrounding
the 49ers coach seems to be typical these
days. He said both expressed appreciation for
the job they're doing and the team is moving
forward as usual in preparation for next
Monday night's game at St. Louis.
"Everybody in the organization is doing
their job, everybody is working hard at the
craft of helping us be the best we can possi-
bly be as a football team, and that's all you
can ask of anybody," Harbaugh said.
"They're doing their best, and nobody appre-
ciates that like I do. I know that's what Jed
appreciates. We work at the pleasure of the
York family and the San Francisco 49ers
organization, and that's our job do the
best we possibly can. And I see everybody
doing that."
The drama involving
Harbaugh bubbled up
again last week.
NFL commentators and
former players Deion
Sanders and Trent Dilfer
were among those that
said Harbaugh had lost
the locker room and the
trust of his players.
Another report ques-
tioned whether Harbaugh would be back with
the 49ers next season.
York nally broke his silence on the topic,
taking to Twitter before San Francisco's 22-
17 win over Kansas City on Sunday to try to
quiet the latest fuss about Harbaugh's future.
York posted: "Jim is my coach. We are trying
to win a SB (Super Bowl), not a personality
or popularity contest. Any more questions?"
Many players also publicly backed
Harbaugh and dismissed discussion that
there's friction between the coach and the
locker room. Quarterback Colin
Kaepernick's comments echoed loudest.
"I love Coach Harbaugh. I'd go to war with
him any day of the week," Kaepernick said.
"He's a competitor, he wants to win and he's
going to do anything to put this team in a
position to win."
Harbaugh is in the fourth season of a $25
million, five-year contract he signed in
January 2011 when he left a successful stint
at Stanford to become the 49ers coach.
York said last year he hoped to get a new
deal done for Harbaugh during the offseason,
but that didn't happen. Instead, reports sur-
faced that the Cleveland Browns inquired
about trading for Harbaugh.
Harbaugh has continued to describe his
relationship with York, general manager
Trent Baalke and the front ofce as "very
good." He praised his players again Monday,
saying anybody questioning whether there's
an issue with the team only needs to look at
the effort the 49ers (3-2) have put forth while
winning the past two games.
"It's an enjoyable team to be around. The
way they play, the way they ght, the way
they play together," Harbaugh said. "My dad
mentioned it when he was here for two
weeks, the feeling he had for our team and
how they interact, but the evidence is how
they play. That's a team that plays."
In an interview on the "Rich Eisen Show"
on DirecTV on Monday, York acknowledged
that Harbaugh has a difcult personality and
his competitive attitude "sometimes rubs
people the wrong way. "
When asked if he was aware that his tem-
perament can bother some in the organiza-
tion, Harbaugh responded: "No. Not so
much."
However he does it, Harbaugh's way wins.
In his rst season, Harbaugh earned NFL
Coach of the Year honors while leading the
49ers back to the playoffs following an
eight-year stretch without a playoff berth or
winning record. San Francisco lost in the
NFC championship game that season to the
eventual Super Bowl champion New York
Giants.
Harbaugh followed that up by coaching the
49ers to their rst Super Bowl appearance in
18 years, but San Francisco missed out on
the franchise's sixth championship by los-
ing to his brother John Harbaugh's
Baltimore Ravens. The 49ers went back to
the NFC championship game last season,
losing to the eventual Super Bowl champion
Seattle Seahawks.

Police review video
in attack at Levis Stadium
SANTA CLARA Police said Monday
they were reviewing video of a fight in a
restroom at Levis Stadium that left one
man in serious condition before the San
Francisco 49ers game against the Kansas
City Chiefs.
In the video, which has been widely dis-
tributed on the Internet, the two assailants
and two victims appear to be wearing 49ers
gear.
The suspects, Dario and Amador
Rebollero, ed from the bathroom but were
soon caught inside the stadium, said Santa
Clara police spokesman Lt. Kurt Clarke. One
victim was treated and released and the other
was in serious condition.
The Rebolleros were booked into county
jail on suspicion of felony assault.
Clarke would not reveal the source of the
video and said he did not know whether the
suspects have attorneys.
Man attacked at
Angels Stadium an ex-ofcer
ANAHEIM Authorities say a man who
was beaten and left in critical condition in
the Angels Stadium parking is a former Los
Angeles police ofcer and his condition is
improving.
Anaheim police say the 43-year-old
Huntington Beach man and a relative were
walking to a car after the Angels playoff
game against the Kansas City Royals
Friday night when they were attacked by
three men for no apparent reason.
Anaheim police Lt. Bob Dunn says there
wasnt any argument before the attack and
nobody has been arrested.
Los Angeles police say the man left the
LAPD in 2012 but other details arent being
released.
Dunn says the man was hospitalized in
critical condition but he was listed in seri-
ous but stable condition on Monday and is
expected to survive.

WHATS ON TAP
By Beth Harris
USA Swimming on Monday sus-
pended Michael Phelps for six
months, forced him to withdraw
from next years world champi-
onships and took away his funding
from the sports national govern-
ing body as a result of the Olympic
champions second DUI arrest.
USASwimming said Phelps vio-
lated its Code of Conduct, and cited
a section of its 2014 Rule Book in
punishing Phelps, the winningest
Olympian in history with 18 gold
medals. Its executive committee
approved the sanctions, which
take effect immediately.
The suspension wont keep
Phelps from training with his
North Baltimore club, but the 29-
year-old swimmer wont be
allowed to participate in USA
Swimming-sanctioned meets
through April 6, 2015.
Phelps and USA Swimming also
agreed that he wont compete in
the world swimming champi-
onships in Russia next August. His
monthly funding stipends will be
stopped during the suspension.

MADRID In the rst known transmis-
sion of the outbreak of Ebola outside West
Africa, a Spanish nurse who treated a mis-
sionary for the disease at a Madrid hospital
has tested positive for the virus, Spains
health minister said Monday.
The female nurse was part of the medical
team that cared for a 69-year-old Spanish
priest who died Sept. 25 in a Madrid hospital
designated for treating Ebola patients after
he was own home from Sierra Leone, where
he served as the medical director of a hospi-
tal there treating infected Ebola patients,
Health Minister Ana Mato said.
The nurse is believed to have contracted
the virus from that priest, though she was
also a member of the team that treated anoth-
er Spanish priest who died earlier from
Ebola.
More than 370 health workers in West
Africa have become infected in the outbreak,
and more than half of those have died.
Doctors and nurses there have worked under
difficult conditions, treating patients in
overowing wards, sometimes without prop-
er protection. But even under ideal condi-
tions, experts warn that caring for Ebola
patients always involves a risk.
WHO estimates the latest Ebola outbreak
has killed more than 3,400 people.
The World Health Organization on Monday
night conrmed there has not been a trans-
mission outside West Africa in the current
outbreak prior to the Spanish nurse.
WHO spokeswoman Fadela Chaib told the
Associated Press that the only conrmed
cases were in West Africa and the United
States, with no known transmission outside
West Africa. The organization is awaiting
ofcial notication of the case from Spanish
authorities, she added.
The Spanish nurse went on vacation the
day after the priest died but checked in
Sunday to a public hospital in the working
class Madrid suburb of Alcorcon with a fever
and was placed in isolation. Mato said the
infection was conrmed by two tests.
Antonio Alemany, Madrids director of pri-
mary health care, told reporters that the
woman had no symptoms besides the fever
and that authorities were drawing up a list of
people the nurse had contact with so they can
be monitored.
He did not say where the married woman
with no children spent her vacation, nor did
he specify whether health authorities are
checking people who she came into contact
with where she went for vacation.
She is the only person quarantined in
Spain but her husband and health workers
who cared for her during her admission to the
hospital Sunday are being monitored.
Authorities gave no details on how they were
being monitored.
The nurse cared for Manuel Garcia Viejo,
who was in charge of the San Juan del Dios
hospital in Lunsar, Sierra Leone. In August,
she also assisted in the treatment of 75-year-
old Spanish priest Miguel Pajares, also
own back to Spain from Liberia. He died
after being treated with the experimental
Ebola medicine ZMapp but authorities said
Garcia Viejo was not given the treatment
because worldwide supplies ran out.
Just after midnight Tuesday, the nurse was
transferred from the hospital in Alcorcon for
treatment at Madrids Carlos III hospital,
where the two priests were cared for until
they died.
Spaniard has Ebola in first infection outside Africa
By Josh Funk
OMAHA, Neb. An American video
journalist who contracted Ebola while
working in Liberia stepped off a jet
Monday under his own power on his way to
a Nebraska hospital where he will be treat-
ed for the disease in a specialized contain-
ment unit.
At the bottom of the jets steps, Ashoka
Mukpo was loaded onto a stretcher for the
ambulance ride to the Nebraska Medical
Center.
Mukpo, 33, was working as a freelance
cameraman for NBC News when he became
ill last week. He is the fth American with
Ebola to return to the U.S. for treatment
during the latest outbreak, which the World
Health Organization estimates has killed
more than 3,400 people.
Mukpos parents said they tried to talk
him out of going to Liberia last month, but
he told them he wanted to report on the
severity of the epidemic.
I told him I thought he was crazy, said
his father, Dr. Mitchell Levy.
And I begged him from a mothers per-
spective. I said, Please dont go, Diana
Mukpo said. But there was nothing to do.
He was determined.
Before returning to Liberia last month,
Mukpo had lived there for two years while
working as a researcher for the Sustainable
Development Institute, a nonprot focused
on the concerns of workers in mining
camps outside Monrovia. He only returned
home to Providence, Rhode Island, in May.
Its not clear how Mukpo was infected,
but Levy said it may have happened when
he helped clean a vehicle someone died in.
On Monday, his symptoms of fever and
nausea still appeared mild, Levy said.
During his treatment, his parents will
have to rely on a video chat system in his

Three experimental drugs are known to have been
used on Ebola patients in the current outbreak:
Chimerix Inc.s brincidofovir, being used on the Dal-
las Ebola patient, is an oral medicine developed to
treat other types of viruses.It is in late-stage testing for
cytomegalovirus. Durham, North Carolina-based
Chimerix is also developing it as a smallpox treat-
ment. Laboratory tests suggest it may be active
against Ebola.
ZMapp from San Diego-based Mapp Pharmaceuti-
cals was developed specically as an Ebola treatment,
a cocktail of antibodies engineered to recognize the
virus and bind to infected cells. Supplies are ex-
hausted; work is underway to produce more.
The TKM-Ebola injection,by Tekmira Pharmaceuticals
of Canada, works by blocking genes that help the
Ebola virus reproduce and spread.It has been used in
at least one patient and is said to be in limited supply.
A fourth drugmaker, North Carolinas BioCryst, has
government funding to research another experi-
mental antiviral drug for Ebola, called BCX4430.
Another option endorsed by the World Health Orga-
nization is to attempt a blood transfusion from an
Ebola survivor.

Meanwhile in Texas, a Liberian man with
Ebola who started showing symptoms
while visiting the U.S. remained in critical
condition at a Dallas hospital.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry said he would create
a state task force to ensure Texas develops a
rapid-response plan if an outbreak develops
in the state.
Perry also called on federal ofcials to
implement screening procedures at all U.S.
points of entry. He said screeners should
take travelers temperature and conduct
other assessments to determine their over-
all health.
Doctors at the Nebraska isolation unit
the largest of four in the U.S. will evalu-
ate Mukpo before determining how to treat
him. They said they will apply the lessons
learned while treating American aid worker
Rick Sacra, who was allowed to return home
to Massachusetts after three weeks, on Sept.
25.
Sacra received an experimental drug called
TKM-Ebola, as well as two blood transfu-
sions from another American aid worker
who recovered from Ebola at an Atlanta hos-
pital. The transfusions are believed to help
a patient ght off the virus because the sur-
vivors blood carries antibodies for the dis-
ease.
In Dallas, the Liberian man was listed in
critical condition. Thomas Eric Duncan has
been hospitalized at Texas Health
Presbyterian Hospital since Sept. 28. He is
receiving an experimental medication
called brincidofovir.
Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, said
Duncans health had taken a turn for the
worse, but he declined to elaborate.
Officials are monitoring the health of
nearly 50 people who had varying degrees
of contact with Duncan.
Dallas City Council member Jennifer
Staubach Gates, who represents the neigh-
borhood where Duncan fell ill, said some
fearful volunteers are refusing to enter the
area, which is forcing nonprot organiza-
tions to recruit additional volunteers.
She told reporters Monday that residents
of the neighborhood have been turned away
from their workplaces and retailers. She said
they are being directed to legal-aid represen-
tatives for assistance.
The virus that causes Ebola is not air-
borne and can only be spread through direct
contact with the bodily uids blood,
sweat, vomit, feces, urine, saliva or semen -
of an infected person who is showing symp-
toms.

icts but the status quo isnt working and
the board needs a stronger leader.
Theres always been some type of con-
ict. Part of it is we dont have a general
manager thats given direction, Mattusch
said.
Civil grand jury flawed or feared?
Grant said dissolving the district would be
a detriment to the public and the range of
responsibilities deserves local control.
I dont think the county running it would
give the people proper services, Grant
said. I just really hate to see it not be run
by locals who know the community.
Mattusch said the county doesnt under-
stand the districts specialized expertise and
is taking a myopic view. Mattusch agreed
the district would benet from the jurys rec-
ommendation to increase revenue, but does-
nt see the county t for the task.
Everyone thinks they can do it better.
Theyre looking at tax revenue, but counties
dont increase business, [Parks and
Recreation Departments] dont increase
business Mattusch said. A lot of this
[problem] is fostered by the general manag-
er.
Holsinger said the entire report was awed
and dissolution isnt going to happen as the
county would be left with $10 million in
responsibilities without the districts por-
tion of property taxes as the funds would be
split among other special districts.
[The report] is basically saying the
Harbor District should be dissolved and
taken over because of bad nancial shape is
just not accurate, Holsinger said. The
argument about people not getting along is
unfounded because the only one not getting
along is Sabrina frankly.
Increasing revenue and
supporting the community
Holsinger said the districts nances are
solid, has $40 million in assets and fully
funded pension liabilities. Its also looking
to increase revenue by nding a new tenant
for the bait and tackle shop and Drake
Marine, as well as promoting the ferry in
South San Francisco. Holsinger said hes
interested in developing a new visitor cen-
ter that could serve as an educational draw
for kids.
Holsinger said the district has also hired a
consultant to engage the community during
its business plan.
We have this strategic planning process
going on. Its supposed to help us listen to
the stakeholders, Holsinger said. Im
really looking forward to getting that work
done.
Grant said the district is doing a poor job
of promoting opportunities for entertain-
ment and business at its facilities and des-
perately needs to update its website. Grant
said hed like to see a sh market that could
attract visitors and support shermen.
Mattusch said the district must reduce
expenses by not beginning projects it does-
nt see through, selling non-revenue-gener-
ating properties and increase funds by capi-
talizing on opportunities like vacancies at
Oyster Point.
The district should promote the new ferry
to attract business to Oyster Point and Pillar
Point is ripe for an educational visitor cen-
ter, Mattusch said.
The commercial shing and charter boat
industry must be engaged as the district pro-
ceeds with improvements through its strate-
gic business plan, Mattusch said.
They (commissioners) need to develop a
rapport with the commercial fishermen
because they really feel slighted, Mattusch
said. [If] you want to support the commer-
cial shermen, youve got to bring them
into the conversation.
HARBOR
tions between the utility and regulators, and
the commission says some of the private
communications may have violated its own
rules.
In one email released Monday, from May
2010, former PG&E vice president Brian
Cherry describes to PG&E colleagues a din-
ner he says he had just shared with commis-
sion President Michael Peevey.
Mike stated very clearly that he expects
PG&E to step up big and early to oppose a
ballot initiative that would have suspended
the states historic climate change law,
Cherry says in the email to another compa-
ny executive. Mike said ... we need to
spend at least $1 million.
Later in the same dinner, Cherry said, he
jokingly remarked that the utility could
spend $3 million on the ballot initiative, if
the utilities commission approved an unre-
lated $26 million payment that PG&E was
seeking as a reward for its energy conserva-
tion program.
He said that is a deal he could live with,
Cherry said of Peevey.
In the same email, the then-PG&E execu-
tive said Peevey also said he wanted PG&E
to give $100,000 for a then-pending cele-
bration of the commissions 100th anniver-
sary.
Neither Cherry nor Peevey could be
reached for comment Monday. The CPUC
said it already has commissioned a third-
party review of its private communications
with utilities.
PG&E eventually contributed $500,000
to defeat Proposition 23, which sought to
repeal Californias landmark climate law
and clean energy signed by then-Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, according to
MapLight, an independent group that tracks
campaign spending.
Astate administrative law judge has sum-
moned PG&E to a hearing Tuesday on earli-
er emails with top commission ofcials. In
those emails, Peeveys then-chief of staff
and another commissioner, Michael Florio,
negotiated with Cherry on picking the
administrative law judge who would hear a
PG&E rate case. Peevey was copied on at
least one of those emails.
Florio declined to comment Monday on
the new email saying Peevey had pressed
PG&E for donations, or say whether Peevey
should stay on as the commissions leader.
Not my decision to make, Florio said.
Gov. Jerry Brown has had little public
comment on the matter since saying in
August that he still supports Peevey, who
was rst appointed to the board by Gov.
Gray Davis in 2002. Schwarzenegger
appointed Peevey to a second term, which
expires this year.
Browns spokesman, Jim Evans, declined
to comment Monday.
PG&E said Monday that Cherry and two
other executives left the utility earlier this
year over the alleged private communica-
tions between the state commission and
utility executives.
We took swift and decisive action when
PG&E discovered the alleged improper com-
munications in a utility review of more than
6,500 emails, PG&E spokesman Keith
Stephens said.
Awatchdog group for ratepayers said the
latest emails underscored for them that the
utilities commission, and its head, had lost
credibility.
Its just unbelievable that this kind of
backroom double-dealing was going on for
years, said Mindy Spatt, a spokeswoman
for The Utility Reform Network. This is
beyond what we imagined.
Federal prosecutors already have filed
obstruction of justice and other criminal
charges in connection with a 2010 gas
pipeline explosion that killed eight people
and destroyed dozens of homes in the San
Francisco suburb of San Bruno.

STOCKHOLM How do we remem-
ber where we parked the car? And how
do we gure out a shortcut to work when
theres a big trafc jam?
The brain, it turns out, has a GPS-like
function that enables people to produce
mental maps and navigate the world
a discovery for which three scientists
won the Nobel Prize in medicine
Monday.
Husband-and-wife scientists Edvard
Moser and May-Britt Moser of Norway
and New York-born researcher John
OKeefe were honored for break-
throughs in experiments on rats that
could help pave the way for a better
understanding of human diseases such
as Alzheimers .
We can actually begin to investigate
what goes wrong in Alzheimers, said
OKeefe, a dual British-American citi-
zen. He said the ndings might also
help scientists design tests that can
pick up the very earliest signs of the
mind-robbing disease, whose victims
lose their spatial memory and get easi-
ly lost.
It was in London in 1971 where
OKeefe discovered the rst component
of the brains positioning system.
He found that a certain type of nerve
cell was always activated when a rat
was at a certain place in a room. Other
nerve cells were activated when the rat
moved to another place. He demon-
strated that these place cells were
building up a map, not just registering
visual input.
Decades later, in
2005, the Mosers
identified another
type of nerve cell
the grid cell
that generates a
coordinate system
for precise posi-
tioning and path-
nding, the Nobel
Assembly said.
I made the initial discovery over 40
years ago. It was met then with a lot of
skepticism, the 74-year-old OKeefe
said. And then slowly over years, the
evidence accumulated. And I think its a
sign of recognition not only for
myself and the work I did, but for the
way in which the eld has bloomed.
John Kubie of the SUNY Downstate
Medical Center in New York said this
GPS system in the brain is used in such
everyday tasks as remembering where a
car is parked or taking a new shortcut
on the way home. Kubie also said
learning about it may teach scientists
more about how the brain learns and
remembers, even apart from navigat-
ing.
Born in Harlem and raised in the
South Bronx, OKeefe received his doc-
toral degree in physiological psychol-
ogy at McGill University in Canada
before moving to England for postdoc-
toral work at the University College
London.
If you can survive the South Bronx,
you can survive anything, he said.
Mondays award was the fourth time
that a married couple has shared a
Nobel Prize and the second time in the
medicine category.
This is crazy, an
excited May-Britt
Moser, 51, said by
telephone from the
N o r w e g i a n
University of
Science and
Technology in
Trondheim, where
she and her husband
work.
This is such a great honor for all of
us and all the people who have worked
with us and supported us, she said.
We are going to continue and hopeful-
ly do even more groundbreaking work
in the future.
Edvard Moser, 52, said: It is really a
joint work. Not only are we two peo-
ple, but we are complementary as
well.
The Nobel Assembly said the laure-
ates discoveries marked a shift in sci-
entists understanding of how special-
ized cells work together to perform
complex cognitive tasks. They have
also opened new avenues for under-
standing cognitive functions such as
memory, thinking and planning.
Thanks to our grid and place cells,
we dont have to walk around with a
map to nd our way each time we visit a
city, because we have that map in our
head, said Juleen Zierath, chair of the
medicine prize committee.
Half the Nobel prize money of 8 mil-
lion Swedish kronor (about $1.1 mil-
lion) goes to OKeefe and the other half
to the Mosers.

WHO WON?
John OKeefe, a 74-year-old American-British professor of
cognitive neuroscience at University College London; May-Britt
Moser,51,and Edvard Moser,52,a married team of neuroscientists
at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in
Trondheim.
FOR WHAT?
For their discoveries of how rats determine where they are and
how to move through the world. That lead to a deeper
understanding of how the brain, including ours, creates a map
of the environment essentially an inner global positioning
system, or GPS.
SIGNIFICANCE
OKeefes discoveries had a dramatic impact on the study of how
the brain creates behavior, the Nobel committee said. Thirty
years later, the Mosers research in the same eld found how
activities in so-called grid cells allowed the brain to divide the
environment into longitude and latitude, which helps the brain
know how far it is from any given starting point.
Together the three scientists were cited for having helped bring
about a paradigm shift in our understanding of how groups of
specialized nerve cells work together to execute higher brain
functions. Some say this understanding could eventually
revolutionize the treatment of diseases such as Alzheimers.
WHAT THEY SAID
May-Britt Moser said she was in shock after hearing the news.
This is such a great honor for all of us and all the people who have
worked with us and supported us, she said.We are going to
continue and hopefully do even more groundbreaking work in
the future.
Edvard Moser described winning the prize as fantastic.
This is something we have done and got together. It is really a
joint work, he said.Not only are we two people but we are
complementary as well.
John OKeefe said his work could be used as a basis for
investigating Alzheimers by designing tests to try to pick up the
rst signs of the disease.
So we can not only use brain imaging to see the earliest signs
of the disease in this part of the brain, but we can begin to see
how it is affecting their memory, particularly their spatial
memory,he said.

those (plans), reevaluate those and see
how well theyre working together.
Would they work in concert if we were
to do other things? Can we sequence
them so theres less interruption?
Ross said. All of those things need to
be discussed in totality.
The Downtown Area Plan was
approved in 2009 and the city is get-
ting a head start on engaging the com-
munity and stakeholders before it
begins the formal update process in
mid-2015, City Manager Larry
Patterson said.
The document helps establish a
framework of policies to guide devel-
opment and preserve existing
resources in downtown, according to
the plan. Currently, it outlines eight
goals, which include enhancing vitali-
ty and activity through a balanced
diversity of uses, improving pedestri-
an safety, providing adequate parking,
supporting sustainable initiatives and
promoting public and private invest-
ments, according to the plan.
The rst meeting will engage city
officials including the council; the
Library and Personnel boards; and the
Community Relations, Park and
Recreation, Planning, Public Works,
Senior Citizens and the Sustainability
commissions. Thursdays meeting will
be directed toward stakeholders such as
the Downtown San Mateo
Association, the Economic
Development Growth Enterprise and
the public.
A signicant change in the update
will include the removal of redevelop-
ment agencies as a partner in the plan.
With the Legislature and Gov. Jerry
Brown dissolving of redevelopment
agencies in 2012, the city must gure
out what to do with two properties that
were purchased through its redevelop-
ment agency.
The city is working with the states
Department of Finance to derive an
approved plan for the former Kinkos
site at Fourth Avenue and Claremont
Street and the worker resource center at
Fifth and Railroad avenues.
Patterson said the city hopes to
secure the sites for development with a
range of options that could include a
parking structure or the relocation of
City Hall. The update process will also
include considerations for expanding
attention to areas on the east side of
the train tracks near downtown,
Patterson said.
Well talk with the group and when
we meet with both the commissioners
and the stakeholders, identify the area
east of the tracks as kind of a key
opportunity area that hasnt always
been given the same attention,
Patterson said.
If the city can redevelop the former
Kinkos and worker resource center
properties, it could serve as a means to
change the mix and intensity of uses
east of the tracks, Patterson said.
During its goal setting session earli-
er in the year, the council discussed
relocating City Hall to downtown and
Ross said the option will be a focus in
considerations for updating its plan.
As the economy improves and down-
town is attracting more companies to
move into San Mateo, Patterson said
updating the plan will analyze chang-
ing uses of properties.
Another indicator of a strong market
is that pre-applications were turned in
to the citys Planning Division to
redevelop three vacant gas stations on
the corners of Third Avenue and El
Camino Real, Patterson said. The pre-
applications for the two lots on the
east side of El Camino Real propose
building mixed-use retail and office
spaces and the lot on the west side
could become a mixed-use residential
and retail building.
Its important to take a comprehen-
sive look at downtown as promoting
more ofce space and changing the
uses of certain properties could have
an effect on service industries, such as
a mechanic shop, Patterson said.
If we change the uses, where are we
locating the services the community
still needs? Patterson said. Theres a
number of balances were trying to
evaluate. Thats why were starting the
process much earlier and with broader
public input in the beginning. So
its an opportunity for the community
to discuss those things and come up
with a plan that is balanced to meet the
communitys needs.
The meetings to discuss updating
San Mateos Downtown Area Plan are 6
p.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday Oct. 7 and
Thursday Oct. 9 at the Peninsula
Italian American Social Club, 100 N.
B St., San Mateo. For more informa-

tures will eventually be built across
the street to accommodate the cars.
Unlike previous city hearings on the
project, only a handful of residents
appeared at the San Carlos Library to
watch the Planning Commission
review its design. Ten asked to speak
during public comment although
not all took the opportunity and
Chair David Silberman purposely left
the hearing open so that more can
address the commission at the next
meeting in two weeks.
The new 6.26-acre Transit Village
site bounded by El Camino Real and
the Caltrain tracks will include six
three-story residential buildings and
two two-story ofce and retail build-
ings, a public plaza between the two
commercial buildings and the historic
train depot and a transit center. The
complex will include 202 rental units,
recreational facilities and 25,8000
square feet of commercial space.
The new design is 46 percent smaller
in overall square footage but the sites
orientation is largely the same,
Principal Planner Lisa Porras said.
The similarities allowed city staff to
work with the developer instead on
architectural style, she said.
Not everyone was as thrilled with the
shorter development. Bonnie
McClure, on behalf of the Sierra Club
Loma Prieta chapter, wished the proj-
ect still had the greater density and
asked about electric vehicle parking
spaces.
Other issues raised by speakers
include trees, traffic a concern
throughout the projects life and the
similarities in the beige color palette
to other developments in San Carlos.
The City Council approved the proj-
ect on a 4-1 vote last November after
roughly a decade of planning, protest
and public hearings. Based on con-
cerns that included shadowing, trafc
and noise, the council imposed condi-
tions such as the height limits which
Legacy said at the time would prove
prohibitive. The council also capped
the units at 233 and agreed to let
Legacy Partners to build 10 percent of
units with half each for moderate and
low affordability.
The plan changes did not create any
new or expanded environmental
impacts so the certied environmental
impact report is sufcient for the revi-
sions.
The new transit center design will
need to come back to the Planning
Commission for review at a future date.

HONG KONG The students whose calls
for democratic reforms sparked the most dra-
matic challenge to authorities since Hong
Kong returned to Chinese control are vowing
to keep up the ght.
But as the numbers of protesters dwindled
Monday from tens of thousands into the hun-
dreds, it was unclear where the tumult of the
past week would lead.
Schools reopened and civil servants
returned to work after protesters cleared the
area outside the city government headquar-
ters, a focal point of the demonstrations that
began Sept. 26. Crowds also thinned marked-
ly at the two other protest sites, and trafc
owed again through many roads that had
been blocked.
In the Mong Kok district, the site of week-
end clashes in which mobs tried to drive the
demonstrators out of the intersection they
were blocking, hundreds of curious onlookers
surrounded the remaining protesters Monday
evening, taking pictures.
The threats in Mong Kok have passed, and
now people are just curious about the sit-in,
said 36-year-old Anita Lee, a resident. Thats
why there are more onlookers than protest-
ers.
Many in Hong Kong are wondering if the
protest movement may have run its course
and whether the students have a clear strategy
for pressing their demand that all candidates
for the citys top leader, or chief executive,
not be screened by a pro-Beijing committee.
They cant sustain attendance in protests
if it goes on and on, said Michael Davis, a
professor at Hong Kong University. They
need some strategy where they can withdraw
the crowds so they can say to the government
that if they are not sincere, they will mobi-
lize crowds back on the streets.
Disagreements were evident after the stu-
dents and the government began preliminary
talks.
Lau Kong-wah, the undersecretary of con-
stitutional affairs, said late Monday that the
government and students had agreed on terms
for the talks, including that the two sides
would be on an equal footing.
Hong Kong protests fade; students vow to carry on
