City may revise remodel rules
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
For those seeking to remodel
their homes in Belmont, the citys
stringent policies could soon
become more resident-friendly as
the council considers amending
its zoning ordinance and planning
process for single-family homes.
Councilmen Eric Reed and
Charles Stone joined Community

De p a r t me n t
staff on a sub-
committee to
evaluate the
citys require-
ments and pro-
cedures for resi-
dents who seek
to build or
remodel their
homes and are working to propose
changes to alle-
viate some
property own-
ers frustration.

review for projects as small as
adding a 400-square-foot addition
to ones home, according to a city
staff report. The city also pro-
hibits homes from being larger
than 3, 500 square feet in most
areas, despite the size of ones lot.
Reed, who was selected to serve
on the Planning Commission in
2008 before being elected to the
council, said much of the subcom-
mittees report reflected experi-

commission.
I think many of our regulations
are well meaning, but they have
sort of often negative reactions.
So youll get people that love the
city, but will move out because

After half a century of educating
and entertaining the Bay Area from
its studio below the College of
San Mateo library, KCSM TV is
closer than ever to being auc-
tioned off to a private buyer.
The FCC pushed for the sale of
the KCSM TV bandwidth and, in
2013, the San Mateo County
Community College District
Board of Trustees approved a deal
with LocusPoint Networks, which
would have LocusPoint subsidize
the station in the amount of
$900, 000 a year for up to four
years. In that time, the district is
hearing bids in hopes of finding a
suitable buyer. The expected price
of the station is about $10 mil-
lion, which will be split between
CSM and LocusPoint with the
school getting 63. 5 percent of the
sale, KCSM and school officials
said.
While the TV stations days are
numbered, its longtime radio
counterpart, KCSM FM, will live
on.
The little studio currently broad-
casts jazz music programming
from FM 91. 1 as it did in the
beginning, and selections from
various public television pro-
gramming providers on channel
43. 1, but the KCSM of today is
barely recognizable, at least
behind the scenes, from the ambi-
tious pair of college stations it
was when it started.
When Doug Montgomery was
the new manager of the broadcast
facility here, Dr. Jake Wiens was
the dean of the technician division
and it was his dream to have radio
and television on campus, said

An arbitration ruling reinstating
a Redwood City teacher, and union
leader, to his previous school after
he was involuntarily transferred is
being challenged by the school
district.
Bret Baird, a physical education
teacher, was transferred from
Kennedy Middle School, where he
taught for 22 years, to Clifford
Elementary School at the start of
the 2013-14 school year for just
cause pursuant to the terms of the
collective bargaining agreement
between the Redwood City
Elementary School District and
Redwood City Teachers
Association. The district filed a
petition Wednesday in the San
Mateo County Superior Court
against an arbitrators decision to
allow Baird to go back to
Kennedy.
Bairds transfer was not disci-
plinary in nature nor was just
cause of the agreement intended to
have a traditional disciplinary def-
inition, the district writes in its
Oct. 29 appeal.
This all began on or about July
18, 2013, Baird filed a grievance
against the district alleging the
district violated his contract
agreement when it involuntarily
transferred him, disciplined and/or
took other adverse actions in
reprisal for his involvement in the

Call it a blessing in disguise.
Plans for a 37-space parking lot
for the Siena Youth Center on
Marlborough Avenue in North Fair
Oaks were delayed three years
while the San Francisco Public
Utility Commission, which owns
the right-of-way, nished pipeline
replacement. But anxiety gave
way to inspiration when those
with the St. Francis Center, which
operates the center, realized they
didnt really need the parking
what they needed was more oppor-
tunity for families to get their
hands in the dirt.
On Tuesday morning, county
supervisors will be asked to make
that goal happen by letting the
nonprot downsize the parking
lot to 20 spaces and use the
remaining land for a community
garden with approximately 10
raised beds.
Families are able to have local-
ly produced, culturally relevant
food. And it is also about the
health of just digging in the dirt,

Woman loses wedding
ring in Halloween candy
MESA, Ariz. An Arizona woman
is searching for her wedding ring after
she says she accidentally gave it away
with Halloween candy.
KNXV-TV reports that Mesa resident
Brooklin Yazzie says she mistakenly
handed out the ring Friday during a
mix-up.
Yazzie says she placed her wedding
ring in a candy jar while helping her
daughters carve pumpkins, and when
the night became hectic she absent-
mindedly dumped the contents of the
jar into the candy bag.
She says there were also plastic
rings inside the candy bag.
Yazzie says she is hoping someone
has the ring because it isnt worth
much money but has more value to her.
Dozens of bats
invade Utah courthouse
ST. GEORGE, Utah Order is being
restored to the courthouse in St.
George with the removal of dozens of
bats from the building.
The Brazilian free-tailed bats were
discovered when employees arrived for
work Thursday at the 5th Judicial
District Courthouse.
More than 50 bats were removed
Thursday and Friday from the attic and
other areas of the building, said Eric
Palmer of Southwest Exterminators.
Zac Weiland, a Washington County
deputy prosecutor, said he heard
scratching noises when he walked into
court Friday morning. Bats were in the
ceiling, hallways, stairwells and even
inside courtrooms.
I dont like bats. I saw (one) crawl-
ing, and its stuck in a little lamp, and
Im like, `Im done, I want out, he
told KSL.
Court officials said while the bats
caused minimal disruptions in court
operations, some proceedings had to
be moved from one courtroom to
another.
Suspected entry points opened up
during a recent renovation project
were sealed to keep bats out of the
building, said Nancy Volmer, Utah
state courts spokeswoman.
We are investigating to find all
entries so we can prevent this from
happening again, Volmer told The
Spectrum of St. George. There may be
other ways they could have gotten in.
Because Brazilian free-tailed bats are
a species of special concern in Utah,
the state Division of Wildlife
Resources took the lead in removing
them with the help of Southwest
Exterminators. The bats were being
released back into the wild.
Officials hope to have all bats out of
the building by the time court proceed-
ings resume on Monday. It was unclear
how many others remain.
Its unusual, theres no doubt about
that. This is a first, I think, for the
courts, Volmer said.
Spanish shepherds guide
2,000 sheep across Madrid
MADRID Shepherds guided a flock
of 2,000 sheep through Madrids streets
on Sunday in defense of ancient graz-
ing, droving and migration rights
increasingly threatened by urban sprawl
and modern agricultural practices.
Tourists and city-dwellers were sur-
prised to see the capitals traffic cut to
permit the bleating, bell-clanking
parade to pass the citys most emblem-
atic locations.
Shepherds halted at the old town
hall so the chief herdsman could hand
authorities 25 maravedies - copper
coins first minted in the 11th century -
as payment for the crossing.
They then continued past Puerta del
Sol - Madrids equivalent of New
Yorks Times Square - and past the
Bank of Spain headquarters on their
way to Retiro Park.
Children shrieked with joy as the
sheep went from a trot to a gallop past
a hamburger restaurant and luxury jew-
elry store in the citys toniest down-
town quarter.
Since medieval times, shepherds
have had the right to use droving paths
crisscrossing a landscape that was
once a checkerboard of woodland and
grazing space.
Some herding routes have been used
annually for over 800 years and
Madrid sprawls across one dating back
to 1372.

S
an Franciscos waterfront was great-
ly underappreciated for many years
after discovery of the Bay by Gaspar
de Portola in 1769.
De Portola was not impressed with its size
and use at first. On his return to his expedi-
tions objective, finding Monterey, he
returned to San Diego. After Monterey was
designated the capital of Alta California, a
more convenient land passage was blazed to
the Peninsula. The Presidio and Mission
were established and trails to each were cre-
ated, as well as a trail to the Yerba Buena
Cove. The trail to the cove from the
Presidio was established to Grant Avenue
where it returned to the Mission along the
Mission Road. The Yerba Buena Cove was
much too shallow for large boats to dock
but there was a creek that emptied into the
Mission Bay further south. It was deep
enough for small boats to navigate to the
lake east to the Mission until it became
filled in. The small boats could handle the
cargo needed at the time and also be used to
ship cowhides and tallow to the first few
boats that entered the Bay for trade.
The first ship to enter the Bay was the
supply ship, San Carlos, in 1775. It
anchored in the North Bay near Angel Island
and surveyed the Bay for the first time.
The beach north of the Presidio proved to
be a poor docking site due to its marsh and
the Yerba Buena Cove, although too shal-
low, was used due to the protection from the
ocean winds. The boats had to be unloaded
in the Bay and brought ashore in small
boats, a long and difficult process. With
only a few Spanish ships entering the Bay
between 1769 and the 1840s, the old
San Franciscos waterfront
PHOTO COURTESY OF THE SAN MATEO
COUNTY HISTORY MUSEUM
In 1846, before the discovery of gold, Yerba
Buena Cove started at Montgomery Street.
Ten years later,it was filled in over four blocks
into the Bay where the ships are.

Man arrested for
beating girl, elderly neighbor
A Redwood City man was arrested
Saturday in connection with an attack
on Friday that injured a 17-year-old
girl and a 74-year-old neighbor who
tried to come to her rescue, according
to Redwood City police.
The girl was outside a home on the
300 block of East Oakwood Boulevard
around 10:30 p. m. when a male sus-
pect, later identified as 22-year-old
Kelson Aweau of Redwood City,
allegedly began beating her.
A 74-year-old neighbor who heard
the victim screaming came outside to
help her and was also beaten, accord-
ing to police.
Police were called to the scene by
neighbors who heard the girl scream-
ing, but the suspect fled before they
arrived.
Both the neighbor and the girl were
taken to the hospital for treatment and
are currently in stable condition.
Aweau, who lives with the girl and
her family, was identified as a suspect
and arrested on suspicion of two counts
of attempted homicide at 8:20 a. m.
Saturday.
Undercover police operations at
massage parlors lead to arrests
Following up on several tips, police
in Daly City conducted undercover
operations that led to prostitution
arrests at massage parlors late last
month.
On Oct. 23 and Oct. 30, police com-
pleted two separate undercover opera-
tions at Union Spa & Salon located at
7345 Mission St. and at SH Body
Therapy located in suite #122 at 333
Gellert Blvd.
During both undercover operations,
a massage parlor employee solicited
an undercover officer for sex acts,
according to police.
Police arrested a 51-year-old
Sacramento resident at Union Spa &
Salon as well as a 57-year-old San
Francisco resident at SH Body
Therapy.
The cases have been turned over to
the San Mateo County District
Attorneys Office for prosecution and
to the City Attorneys Office for possi-
ble administrative action, police said.

SACRAMENTO Neel
Kashkari, a first-time candidate
for office, was hoping to spark a
conversation with California vot-
ers this year about growing
inequality in the states rebound-
ing economy, whether the state is
economically competitive, and
how to reform its underperforming
K-12 school system.
But without enough money or
ground support, the Republican
candidate for governor has been
unable to force the issues into the
spotlight in his effort to unseat
i n c u m b e n t
Democrat Jerry
Brown.
Kashkari, a
former U. S.
Treasury offi-
cial who over-
saw the federal
bank bailout,
took an unusu-
al approach for
a Republican when he said he
wanted to start a debate about
income inequality.
Even with a booming technolo-
gy sector and pockets of skyrocket-
ing home prices, California has the
highest poverty rate in the nation,
according to the
U. S. Census
Bureaus supple-
mental poverty
measure.
S t a t e wi d e
unempl oyment
is 7. 3 percent,
but it remains
in double digits
in some areas
of the agricultural Central Valley.
To drive home the point,
Kashkari, 41, spent a week living
on the streets of Fresno this sum-
mer. He slept on park benches and
sought off-the-books work out-
side a home supply store, then
released a campaign video of his
experiences.
These problems are of our own
making. That means theyre with-
in our capacity to solve, a

The Republican also has sup-
ported a Los Angeles County
Superior Court ruling that found
Californias teacher tenure laws
are unconstitutional because poor

than other students.
School reformers have rallied
around the decision, but Brown
has appealed it. When pressed,
Brown says he is open to chang-
ing tenure laws, although he
believes the issue will pass.
Despite his enthusiasm on such
issues, Kashkari has mostly been
unable to gain traction with voters.
The candidates have met in only
one debate, which was carried on a
few public television stations and
aired the same night as the start of
the NFL season. Public opinion
polls show Brown has a lead of 16
to 21 percentage points.

WASHINGTON Claiming new
momentum 48 hours before polls
open across America, Republicans
on Sunday assailed President
Barack Obama in a final weekend
push to motivate voters as
Democrats deployed their biggest
stars to help preserve an endan-
gered Senate majority.
GOP officials from Alaska to
Georgia seized on the presidents
low approval ratings, which have
overshadowed an election season
in which roughly 60 percent of
eligible voters are expected to
stay home.
This is really the last chance
for America to pass judgment on
the Obama administration and on
its policies, the GOPs 2012
presidential nominee, Mitt
Romney, said in a message echoed
by Republicans across the country
on the weekend.
The president has avoided the
nations most competitive con-
tests in recent weeks, but encour-
aged Democrats to reject
Republican cynicism during a
Sunday appearance with
Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy.
Despite all the cynicism
America is making progress,
Obama said, imploring Democrats
to vote on Tuesday. Dont stay
home. Dont let somebody else
choose your future for you.
While the elections will deter-
mine winners in all 435 House dis-
tricts and in 36 governors seats,
the national focus is on the
Senate, where Republicans need to
net six seats to control the major-
ity in the Congress that convenes
in January. The GOP already con-
trols the House, and a Senate
takeover could dramatically
change Obamas last two years in
office.
Republicans appear certain of
picking up at least three Senate
seats in West Virginia,
Montana and South Dakota. Nine
other Senate contests are consid-
ered competitive, six of them for
seats in Democratic hands.
Democratic Party leaders are pre-
dicting victory despite disap-
pointing polls.
Im very proud of this presi-
dent, head of the Democratic
National Committee, Rep. Debbie
Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla. , said.
I think were going to win the
Senate.

tary of state Hillary Rodham

WASHINGTON The U. S. government
agreed to a police request to restrict more
than 37 square miles of airspace surround-
ing Ferguson, Missouri, for 12 days in
August for safety, but audio recordings
show that local authorities privately
acknowledged the purpose was to keep
away news helicopters during violent street
protests.
On Aug. 12, the morning after the Federal
Aviation Administration imposed the first
flight restriction, FAA air traffic managers
struggled to redefine the flight ban to let
commercial flights operate at nearby
Lambert-St. Louis International Airport and
police helicopters fly through the area
but ban others.
They finally admitted it really was to
keep the media out, said one FAA manager
about the St. Louis County Police in a
series of recorded telephone conversations
obtained by The Associated Press. But
they were a little concerned of, obviously,
anything else that could be going on.
At another point, a manager at the FAAs
Kansas City center said police did not care
if you ran commercial traffic through this
TFR (temporary flight restriction) all day
long. They didnt want media in there.
FAA procedures for defining a no-fly area
did not have an option that would accom-
modate that.
There is really . . . no option for a TFR
that says, you know, OK, everybody but
the media is OK, he said. The managers
then worked out wording they felt would
keep news helicopters out of the controlled
zone but not impede other air traffic.
The conversations contradict claims by
the St. Louis County Police Department,
which responded to demonstrations follow-
ing the shooting death of 18-year-old
Michael Brown, that the restriction was
solely for safety and had nothing to do with
preventing media from witnessing the vio-
lence or the police response.
Police said at the time, and again as
recently as late Friday to the AP, that they
requested the flight restriction in response
to shots fired at a police helicopter.
But police officials confirmed there was
no damage to their helicopter and were
unable to provide an incident report on the
shooting. On the tapes, an FAA manager
described the helicopter shooting as
unconfirmed rumors.
The AP obtained the recordings under the
U. S. Freedom of Information Act. They
raise serious questions about whether
police were trying to suppress aerial
images of the demonstrations and the
police response by violating the constitu-
tional rights of journalists with tacit assis-
tance by federal officials.
Such images would have offered an unvar-
nished view of one of the most serious
episodes of civil violence in recent memo-
ry.
Any evidence that a no-fly zone was put
in place as a pretext to exclude the media
from covering events in Ferguson is
extraordinarily troubling and a blatant vio-
lation of the presss First Amendment
rights, said Lee Rowland, an American
Civil Liberties Union staff attorney spe-
cializing in First Amendment issues.
FAA Administrator Michael Huerta said in
a statement Sunday his agency will always
err on the side of safety. FAA cannot and
will never exclusively ban media from cov-
ering an event of national significance, and
media was never banned from covering the
ongoing events in Ferguson in this case.
Huerta also said that, to the best of the
FAAs knowledge, no media outlets object-
ed to any of the restrictions during the
time they were in effect.
In the recordings, an FAA manager urged
modifying the flight restriction so that
planes landing at Lambert still could enter
the airspace around Ferguson.
The less-restrictive change practically
served the authorities intended goal, an
FAA official said: A lot of the time the
(lesser restriction) just keeps the press out,
anyways. They dont understand the differ-
ence.
The Kansas City FAA manager then asked
a St. Louis County police official if the
restrictions could be lessened so nearby
commercial flights wouldnt be affected.
The new order allows aircraft on final
(approach) there at St. Louis. It will still
keep news people out. . . . The only way
people will get in there is if they give them
permission in there anyway so they, with
the (lesser restriction), it still keeps all of
them out.
Yeah, replied the police official. I
have no problem with that whatsoever.
KMOV-TV News Director Brian
Thouvenot told the AP that his station was
prepared at first to legally challenge the
flight restrictions, but was later advised
that its pilot could fly over the area as long
as the helicopter stayed above 3, 000 feet.
That kept the helicopter and its mounted
camera outside the restricted zone,
although filming from such a distance, he
said, was less than ideal.
None of the St. Louis stations was
advised that media helicopters could enter
the airspace even under the lesser restric-
tions, which under federal rules should not
have applied to aircraft carrying properly
accredited news representatives. The
FAAs no-fly notice indicated the area was
closed to all aircraft except police and
planes coming to and from the airport.

LOS ANGELES Police have made multi-
ple arrests in connection with the
Halloween hit-and-run deaths of three
teenage girls who were out trick-or-treating
in a Los Angeles suburb, authorities said
Sunday.
Santa Ana police said officers made the
arrests as of Sunday morning. They declined
to provide additional details ahead of a news
conference scheduled for Monday.
Authorities say 13-year-old twin sisters
and a 13-year-old friend were struck and
killed Friday night in a Santa Ana crosswalk
after they went out trick-or-treating. A dam-
aged black Honda SUV was found a short dis-
tance from where the collision occurred.
A witness told the Los Angeles Times the
girls were wearing costumes with black leg-
gings and dark clothing when they were hit
in a crosswalk near an elementary school
about 6:45 p. m. Friday.
Two of them were declared dead immediate-
ly, and a third died as paramedics prepared to
take her to a hospital, Orange County fire
Capt. Steve Concialdi said. The twin sisters
were Lexi and Lexandra Perez, and the third
victim was Andrea Gonzalez, the Orange
County Sheriffs Department said.
Sharon Stewart, who cuts hair at a nearby
barber shop, told the Times that she was eat-
ing outside when she heard what sounded like
a terrible crash and screaming. She said she
turned around and saw a car leaving and people
yelling, so she got in her car and followed.
Stewart said she saw a young man run from
the scene and heard him yelling at what she
thought was his companion.
Maria Ramirez, 14, who lives about a half
block from where the hit-and-run occurred,
told The Orange County Register that she
attended middle school with the twins. She
last saw them at school Friday, she said.
I cant believe it happened, Ramirez
said of the deaths of her friends, while she
gathered late Friday night on the sidewalk
with dozens of onlookers. They were fun,
good girls.

DONETSK, Ukraine Residents of sepa-
ratist-controlled regions in eastern Ukraine
voted Sunday to elect legislators and execu-
tives in polls that have been staunchly
denounced by the international community.
Voting in the main rebel city of Donetsk
proceeded in the presence of gunmen inside
three polling stations visited by the AP.
Alexander Zakharchenko, whose election
as head of the self-styled Donetsk Peoples
Republic is a foregone conclusion, said
Sunday that he hoped the vote would bring
peace to a region where 4, 000 people have
been killed in fighting.
Roman Lyagin, chief of the rebel election
commission, said late on Sunday that
Zakharchenko was leading the race with
more than 70 percent of the vote after about
half of the ballots were counted.
If they give us recognition and return the
land weve lost without putting up a fight,
then we will restore normal economic ties
(with Ukraine) and we will live like equal
economic partners, said Zakharchenko,
who has been leading the rebel government
since early August.
Despite a cease-fire agreement being
signed in September, fighting continues
almost daily between government troops
and rebel forces in the area. Ukrainian secu-
rity officials have routinely maintained
rebels are being supplied by Russia and said
Sunday that they have noted an intensive
transfer of weapons and troops from Russia.
Russia has previously denied such claims.
Election organizers have cast the vote as a
decisive development in the break from
Ukrainian rule by the mainly Russian-
speaking regions of Donetsk and Luhansk.
Around half the territory of those areas is
held by separatist forces.
Russia supports the elections, but the
U. N. , EU and the United States say it vio-
lates Ukraines constitution and the terms of
the cease-fire. The truce deal, which has
been signed by rebel leaders, Ukrainian and
Russian officials, envisions local elections
being held across the whole of the east, but
under Ukrainian law.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko on
Sunday dismissed the vote as pseudo-elec-
tions.
The farce under the barrel of tanks and
automatic weapons that two terrorist organ-
izations set up in the part of Donbass is a
terrible event which has nothing to do with
an actual election, Poroshenko said,
according to his press office.
The eve of the vote saw an intensification
of hostilities around Donetsk, but there was
little sign of unrest Sunday.
It is unclear exactly how many people
were able to vote as rebel officials say they
have no access to central Ukrainian elec-
toral rolls. Lyagin said Sunday that 350
polling stations were operating Sunday and
that 1. 4 million people were eligible to
vote.
Critics argue the lax application of rules
that oblige voters to be registered in the
areas in which they cast their ballot could
leave the way open to multiple voting or
participation by non-locals.
A gunman dressed in military fatigues,
who gave only his first name Alexander and
the nom de guerre Raven, told AP at a
polling station that despite being from
Ukraines Odessa region, he should be
allowed to vote. Russian citizens fighting
with the rebels should also be given that
right, he said.
They can fight and die here. So how come
they cant vote here? he said. Five minutes
later, Alexander successfully cast his ballot.
Turnout appeared to be brisk, in part due to
the limited number of polling stations
available. More than 200 people were seen
lining up outside one polling station
Sunday morning in the east of Donetsk.
Lyubov Khatsko, 55, who came to vote
from the town of Marinka, just west of
Donetsk, expressed despair at the continued
unrest rocking her hometown.
We have the right to have our own elec-
tion, our freedom and to live the way we
want to. We want the Ukrainians to get out
of here, she said, speaking in Ukrainian.
The school where Khatsko cast her ballot
was guarded by three armed rebels. An
ammunition depot holding at least 20 auto-
matic rifles was seen through an open door
to a hall next to the room where the voting
was taking place.
The election has been almost universally
snubbed by international vote monitors,
but a contingent of representatives from
largely fringe Western and Russian political
parties were observing the vote.
As strange as it might sound, it is fine to
hold elections in these conditions, said
Alexei Zhuravlev, a lawmaker with Russias
Fatherland party. This is the first step
toward stabilizing the situation here. If we
dont do it, this (war) will continue.
Ukrainian security spokesman Andriy
Lysenko said Sunday that government mili-
tary presence has been bolstered in residen-
tial areas and checkpoints near rebel-held
zones ahead of the election.
Lysenko said that attacks on Ukrainian
positions remain a constant occurrence and
that military equipment and manpower is
being intensively delivered into rebels
areas from Russia.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark Climate
change is happening, its almost entirely
mans fault and limiting its impacts may
require reducing greenhouse gas emissions
to zero this century, the U. N. s panel on cli-
mate science said Sunday.
The fourth and final volume of the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Changes giant climate assessment offered
no surprises, nor was it expected to since it
combined the findings of three reports
released in the past 13 months.
But it underlined the scope of the climate
challenge in stark terms. Emissions, main-
ly from the burning of fossil fuels, may need
to drop to zero by the end of this century for
the world to have a decent chance of keeping
the temperature rise below a level that many
consider dangerous.
The IPCC did not say exactly what such a
world would look like but it would likely
require a massive shift to renewable sources
to power homes, cars and industries com-
bined with new technologies to suck green-
house gases from the atmosphere.
The report warned that failure to reduce
emissions could lock the world on a trajec-
tory with irreversible impacts on people
and the environment. Some impacts already
being observed included rising sea levels, a
warmer and more acidic ocean, melting gla-
ciers and Arctic sea ice and more frequent and
intense heat waves.
Science has spoken. There is no ambigu-
ity in their message. Leaders must act. Time
is not on our side, U. N. Secretary-General
Ban Ki-moon said at the reports launch in
Copenhagen.
Amid its grim projections, the report said
the tools are there to set the world on a low-
emissions path and break the addiction to
burning oil, coal and gas which pollute the
atmosphere with heat-trapping CO2, the
chief greenhouse gas.
Al l we need i s t he wi l l t o change,
whi ch we t rust wi l l be mot i vat ed by
knowledge and an understanding of the
science of climate change, IPCC chair-
man Rajendra Pachauri said.
The IPCC was set up in 1988 to assess
global warming and its impacts. The report
released Sunday caps its latest assessment, a
mega-review of 30, 000 climate change stud-
ies that establishes with 95-percent certain-
ty that most of the warming seen since the
1950s is man-made. The IPCCs best esti-
mate is that just about all of it is man-made,
but it cant say that with the same degree of
certainty.
Today only a small minority of scientists
challenge the mainstream conclusion that
climate change is linked to human activity.
Global Climate Change, a NASA website,
says 97 percent of climate scientists agree
that warming trends over the past century
are very likely due to human activities.
The American public isnt as convinced. A
year-old survey by Pew Research showed 67
percent of Americans believed global warm-
ing is occurring and 44 percent said the
earth is warming mostly because of human
activity. More recently, a New York Times
poll said 42 percent of Republicans say
global warming wont have a serious
impact, a view held by 12 percent of
Democrats and 22 percent of independents.
Sleep-deprived delegates approved the
final documents Saturday after a weeklong
line-by-line review that underscored that the
IPCC process is not just about science. The
reports must be approved both by scientists
and governments, which means political
issues from U. N. climate negotiations,
which are nearing a 2015 deadline for a glob-
al agreement, inevitably affect the outcome.

OPINION 9
Williams and Burrows
Editor,
Thank you for Darold Fredricks
article in the Oct. 20 edition of the
Daily Journal that mentions Williams
and Burrows.
They were premier construction and
real estate developers from 1923 to
1988. They began in Burlingame as a
residential contractor and later relo-
cated to Belmont as builders and con-
struction managers for myriads of
commercial, industrial and residential
projects throughout San Mateo
County and elsewhere.
I grew up in north Burlingame in a
house that was built by Williams and
Burrows. Also, Frank F. Burrows
served as Burlingame mayor in 1944.
I was Williams and Burrows corporate
construction safety and insurance
manager when the company received
several national rst place safety
awards, which is the highest honor
for building contractors in the United
States.

Please keep voting Democrat
Editor,
Despite the fact that California pub-
lic schools rank 45th worst in the
United States, that Democrats have
dominated and controlled the
California Legislature for over 40
years now (you know, only
Democrats write the laws and propose
budgets that a governor can pass),
and that 23. 8 percent of Californians
live in poverty (highest percentage
in the United States), please, please
continue to blindly vote Democrat
this November, and do not vote for
moderate Republican Neel Kashkari,
because we all know that Republicans
are evil and mean.
And, despite that 85 percent of
Californians think Gov. Browns
high-speed-train-to-nowhere (aka
gravy train) must be stopped before
hundreds of billions are siphoned
away from education needs and priori-
ties to unions, please, please vote
Democrat so politically-connected
union bosses can keep pushing
Brown to build his legacy gravy
train.
Rich tech Democrats who pay for
expensive private schools for their
kids, and who dont see the 23. 8 per-
cent of Californians in poverty, have
it pretty good but dont whine later
that Republicans caused this mess.

Lecturing Mr. Madison?
Editor,
Of course, everyone should read
about what happened in Selma,
Alabama. I am sure the columnist
Jonathan Madison is well-versed it
that part of history, despite Mr.
Guerreros doubts (Guerreros letter
Daily Journal columnist Jonathan
Madison in the Oct. 25 edition of
the Daily Journal).
There is only one problem with his
lecture: It was not GOP ghting the
blacks in 1965. In his inaugural
speech, governor elect George
Wallace, a Democrat, later a presiden-
tial candidate, said, In the name of
the greatest people that have ever
trod this earth, I draw the line in
thedust and toss the gauntlet before
the feet of Taryn, and I say, segrega-
tion now, segregation tomorrow, seg-
regation forever.
And it was the Republican presi-
dent, Dwight D. Eisenhower, who
sent the National Guard to open
theuniversity door for black kids, a
door that was physically blocked by
the Democratic governor Wallace,
years before the Selma events.
I have checked several sources of
information and, sadly, discovered
that some biased writers distort the
history by failing to mention that
then it was mostly the Democratic
party favoring segregation.
The Bloody Sunday caused such
an outrage that even the segregation-
ist gGovernor Wallace reprimanded
the state troopers and Sheriff James
Clark.
The GOP is also charged with trying
to prevent the poor and minorities
from voting, by requiring an ID at the
voting place. An ID is very easy to
obtain and we should all help every-
body to get it. Otherwise we are
depriving them of an opportunity to
fully engage in life. Banks, libraries,
Obamacare, liquor stores, cashing a
check, etc. all require ID.

Vote by mail gets
a boost in county
M
aybe you voted absentee or plan a trip to your
voting place tomorrow or in the worst case
have decided to shirk you civic responsibility.
Research shows that more people are inclined to vote
when they do it by mail, especially in special elections.
Thats because it is more convenient. You have plenty of
time to consider whats on the ballot, review the election
guide, check out the campaign mail and endorsements,
see who supports and whos against the measures and
even call up a knowledgeable friend and ask their advice.
Then why dont we all vote by mail, all of the time?
Because we are resistant
to change. My precinct
became an all mail
precinct several years ago
and I did not like the
change at all. It was a ritu-
al for me, a political
junkie, to go to the polls
on Election Day, see who
had turned out and who
hadnt and visit with
neighbors along the way.
We used to vote in a garage
a few blocks from our
house, then the neighbor-
hood school and then at a
nonprot headquarters next
to a church. I proudly wore
my I have voted sticker to remind others how important
this day was. After all, people have died for this right.
***
All this election bliss changed several years ago, when
the countys election department decided to change my
precinct and several others into vote by mail only. We
could still deliver the completed ballot to some official
place on Election Day if we had withdrawal symptoms
but it wasnt the same. I griped and my neighbors griped.
But after a year or two, voting by mail became part of
the routine. And it was so simple. And so easy. And so
much better.
Now San Mateo County is part of an expanded pilot
program to allow three elections countywide solely by
mail. Under a bill sponsored by Assemblyman Kevin
Mullin, D-South San Francisco, and signed by the gover-
nor, AB 2028 will mean all San Mateo County voters
will be using an all-mail system to vote in several
upcoming local elections, but not statewide primary or
general elections. Hopefully, this will encourage turnout
which is usually very low for these elections and save
costs.
***
According to Mark Church, the countys chief elec-
tions officer, We will be targeting the Nov. 3, 2015 and
Nov. 2, 2017 Consolidated Municipal, School and
Special District Elections, to be two of the three elec-
tions conducted under the bill. The third election will in
all likelihood be a local special election which will be
held during an even or odd year.
Heres how it will work. Ballots and voter pamphlets
will automatically be sent to each voter that qualifies to
participate in the election. Registered voters will not
have to request voter pamphlets and ballots to be sent by
mail. Return postage for voted ballots will be pre-paid,
at no cost to the voter. Voting centers will be estab-
lished prior to Election Day at the 20 city halls and town
halls in San Mateo County. These voting centers will
serve disabled voters and voters wishing to cast their
ballots in-person. Registered voters may also drop off
their voted all-mail ballots at these voting centers.
***
I asked Church what were the major challenges in
implementing the pilot program. Its the lack of general
understanding of the vote by mail process for the 44 per-
cent of voters who have not signed up to vote by mail
permanently. Also, for some, voting at a polling place is
an experience that fullls a sense of patriotic duty and
community. To address any concerns, Churchs depart-
ment will begin a comprehensive countywide educational
process to educate the community regarding the potential
benets of all-mail ballot voting. It will involve commu-
nications with all of the cities, school districts and spe-
cial districts. Church doesnt anticipate any resistance
from them since these entities will benet from reduced
costs and probably an increased turnout.
Since a majority of us already vote by mail, the transi-
tion to an all-mail ballot should be relatively painless.
Except for the few who dont like change. But they will
get over it, in time. For the 44 percent who are not
already permanent absentee voters, tomorrow is the day
to show up at the polls.

BUSINESS 10
By Matthew Pennington
WASHINGTON Big Republican gains
on Election Day would be a blow to much
of President Barack Obamas agenda, but
one stymied item on his to-do list might
get a fresh chance to move forward: trade.
That could breathe life into Asia-Pacific
trade talks essential to his efforts to deep-
en engagement in the region.
Obama needs special authority, known
as fast track, to negotiate trade deals that
Congress can accept or reject, but cannot
change. It would smooth the way for the
Trans-Pacific Partnership, which is under
di scussi on wi t h 11 nat i ons, and hel p
advance separate negotiations with the
28-member European Union.
Fast-track legislation was introduced in
January but Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid, D-Nev. , would not allow a vote.
Many Democrats fear that opening mar-
kets to countries with lower wages and
st andards wi l l cost Ameri can j obs.
Republicans tend to be more supportive,
seeing more trade as benefiting the econ-
omy.
With Republicans favored to take con-
trol of the Senate and expand their House
majority, trade could become a rare point
of agreement bet ween a Republ i can
Congress and the White House.
Yet obstacles would remain.
Many Republicans would hesitate to a
Democratic president make progress on his
agenda. Among Democrats, theres wide-
spread opposition in the House to the
Asian pact. Opposition is less strong in
the Senate, but it only takes a few lawmak-
ers to use procedural tactics and try to block
the deal.
With or without fast track, theres no
guarantee that the TPP nations can reach an
agreement. The main players, the U. S. and
Japan, appear at loggerheads over access
to Japans heavily protected agriculture
market.
When TPP trade ministers met in Australia
in late October, they announced significant
progress in negotiations but no deal ahead
of the Nov. 10-11 Asia-Pacific Economic
Cooperation summit, where leaders of the
12 nations will want to signal the end is in
sight.
Having a clear definition of exactly
whats in the pact would help trade legis-
lation in Washington, said Jeffrey Schott,
an international trade specialist at the
Pet erson Inst i t ut e for Int ernat i onal
Economics.
The large majority of the Republican
party would support this and would be
lobbied hard by the business community
to get the legislation through, Schott
said. This is not just a symbolic issue.
This is a dollars and cents issue.
But Lori Wallach of the advocacy group
Public Citizen said U. S. negotiators have
not broached in the TPP negotiations the
issue of currency manipulation, despite
demands from many U. S. lawmakers that
it be included.
The U. S. Congress will not provide the
Obama administration with trade authority
in no small part because it has ignored
Congress demands for the deal, Wallach
said.
Liberal-leaning groups also fear it will
lead to Internet censorship and grant more
power t o corporat i ons, addi ng t o t he
reluctance among Democrats to support
it.
The ambitious talks seek to cut tariffs
and set broader rules on issues such as
i nt el l ect ual propert y and st at e-owned
enterprises, and apply to countries that
account for nearly 40 percent of the world
economy and one-third of global trade.
Besides the U. S. and Japan, the partici-
pant s are Aust ral i a, Brunei , Canada,
Chile, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand,
Peru, Singapore and Vietnam.
The administration views the TPP as
strategically important for U. S. outreach
to the Asia-Pacific. The main U. S. busi-
ness advocacy group also views it as an
opport uni t y t o expand export s t o t he
regions fast-growing economies.

NEW YORK Richard Bransons Virgin
Galactic company is reeling from the loss
of SpaceShi pTwo, whi ch crashed i n
Cal i forni as Moj ave desert on Fri day,
killing one of its pilots
and seriously injuring
the other. Branson, a
bi l l i onai re busi ness
mogul whose Vi rgi n
group of compani es
have ranged from music
t o ai rl i nes t o mobi l e
phones, founded Virgin
Galactic ten years ago
with the aim of offering
flights to the edge of
space for anyone who coul d pay t he
$250, 000 price tag. The future of Virgins
commercial suborbital flight program is
unclear in the wake of the tragic accident.
The 64-year-old Branson is not the only
busi nessman i n t he space t rade.
Historically space and aviation have been
a point of fascination by moguls who have
made their fortune and want to accomplish
something bigger. Eccentric millionaire
Howard Hughes, who made his name in the
film business in the 1920s and 1930s, fix-
ated on aerospace and aviation and built
innovative airplanes and set air-speed fly-
ing records. And James Lick, a real estate
tycoon, spent a fortune building a state-of-
the-art telescope and observatory in 1876
in San Jose, California.
Today, the concept of space travel has
proved an i rresi st i bl e al l ure for many
entrepreneurs whove made it in the tech
world, and they have been spurred on by
NASAs i ncreasi ng rel i ance on pri vat e
companies to conduct space missions. The
i ndust ry has been rocked by
SpaceShipTwos crash coming just days
after the explosion of an Orbital Sciences
Corp. commercial supply rocket bound for
the International Space Station. But the
race for commercial space travel contin-
ues. Heres a look at the major tech titans
leading the way:
Elon Musk
The 43-year-old co-founder of PayPal and
head of Tesl a Mot ors l aunched Space
Exploration Technologies Corp. in 2002
with the ultimate goal of developing the
technology to allow humans to live on
other planets. SpaceX, as it is known,
desi gns, makes and l aunches advanced
rockets and spacecraft. In 2012, NASA
hired SpaceX to deliver cargo and eventual-
ly astronauts to the International Space
Station. The companys spacecraft have
since made five trips to the International
Space Station and back, including four
offi ci al resuppl y mi ssi ons. The
Hawthorne, California company has over
3, 000 employees and operates three space-
craft: Dragon, Falcon Heavy and Falcon 8.
Its Dragon spacecraft is expected to begin
manned missions in the next two to three
years.
Jeff Bezos
The 50-year-ol d co-founder of
Amazon. com Inc. started Blue Origin in
Kent, Washington, in 2000 to develop
technology to make human access to space
easier. It is currently focused on develop-
ing rocket-powered vertical takeoff and
landing vehicles for access to the edge of
space and beyond. As of 2012 Blue Origin
had received $22 million from NASA. Its
crew and cargo vehi cl e, cal l ed New
Shepard, is designed to eventually take
tourists to suborbit. Last month, United
Launch Alliance, a joint venture between
Lockheed Martin Corp. and Boeing Co.
that launches unmanned rockets, picked
Blue Origin to develop a rocket engine that
could eventually replace the Russian rock-
et engi ne used i n many Ameri can
unmanned launches.
Paul Allen
The Microsoft Corp. co-founder teamed
with aerospace pioneer Burt Rutan in 2004
on the experimental SpaceShipOne, which
was launched from a special aircraft. It
became t he fi rst pri vat el y fi nanced,
manned spacecraft to dash into space and
later won the $10 million Ansari X Prize
for accomplishing the feat twice in two
weeks. More recently, the 61-year-olds
St rat ol aunch Syst ems, based i n
Hunstville, Alabama, is developing the
worlds biggest plane to help launch cargo
and ast ronaut s i nt o space. Cal l ed
Thunderbolt, it is tentatively scheduled to
launch in 2018. Stratolaunch is working
with Orbital Sciences and Rutans Scaled
Composites. SpaceShipTwo was piloted
by Scaled Composites, under contract with
Virgin Galactic, during this weeks fatal
crash.
Jeff Greason
The rocket scientist and former Intel
Corp. employee founded XCOR Aerospace
in 1989. XCOR also is pursuing space
tourism and hopes to conduct flight tests
for its Lynx spaceship beginning in 2015.
In September, XCOR was partner to the
Federal Aviation Administration approv-
ing a commercial space launch license for
Midland International Airport in Texas,
where XCOR operates a research and devel-
opment center. The 50-employee company
is based at Mojave Air and Spaceport in
Southern California and has built 13 differ-
ent rocket engines and built and flown two
manned rocket-powered aircraft - the EZ-
Rocket and t he X-Racer. Greason has
served on the U. S. Human Space Flight
Plans Committee.

SANTA CLARA James Laurinaitis and
the St. Louis defense read Colin
Kaepernicks mannerisms and were perfect-
ly prepared for his quarterback sneak. The
Rams stuffed him short and recovered his
fumble, throwing the NFC West another
wrinkle.
Kaepernick fumbled at the goal line with 2
seconds left trying for the go-ahead score, and
the Rams sacked him eight times on the way
to a 13-10 upset over the 49ers on Sunday.
The play was reviewed and upheld. If
Kaepernick had maintained possession, the
49ers could have used their final timeout to
try for the touchdown again, or attempt a
field goal to tie.
I just went to kind of meet him head to
head down there and as Im going down, I
just see the ball sitting there, said
Laurinaitis, who came out of the pile with
the ball.
St. Louis is doing plenty to influence the
West race, beating defending Super Bowl
champion Seattle on Oct. 19 and the 49ers
two weeks later by a combined five points.
Greg Zuerlein kicked the go-ahead 39-yard
field goal for the Rams (3-5) with 5:25 left,
then San Francisco got another chance.
Kaepernick started the last drive with
3:11 remaining from the 49ers 12. He com-
pleted long passes to Stevie Johnson and
Anquan Boldin. Trumaine Johnson helped
San Francisco get closer with back-to-back
pass interference and holding penalties as
he defended Michael Crabtree.
On third-and-goal from the 1, Kaepernick
bobbled the snap, controlled it and dove
between his blockers as fullback Bruce
Miller tried to shove him into the end zone.
Kaepernick fumbled as he went down in the
mass of bodies, apparently short of the
goal line.
On the last play it went into a pile, and
there was nothing we could see that could
change the ruling on the field, referee
Jerome Boger said.
The Rams, 9 1/2-point underdogs to start
the week, never let Kaepernick get comfort-
able. The quarterback spent more time on
his backside and running from St. Louis
defenders than he did directing the offense.

V.A. Wilson ran for a career-high 220 yards and two touchdowns, including this 4-yard jaunt
to give Aragon a 28-21 lead in the third quarter of Saturdays victory over San Mateo.
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Aragons backeld tandem was running
wild before injury struck.
When senior Ty Stokman went down with a
possible season-ending elbow dislocation,
however, Dons fullback V. A. Wilson put the
offense on his shoulders to lead his team to a
dramatic 35-27 win Saturday night at San
Mateo.
Wilson ran for a career-high 220 yards on
21 carries including a pair of touchdown
runs. The sophomores second score broke a
21-21 tie at the end of the third quarter to
help Aragon (3-0 in Peninsula Athletic
League Ocean Division, 8-0 overall) remain
undefeated with two games remaining in the
regular season.
[Stokmans injury] put the pressure on all
of us, but we found a way to pick up our
heads, Wilson said. Hes a great player. Its
hard to miss a great player like that, but we
found a way to keep our heads up and keep on
driving.
With Stokmans injury, the game saw a
massive swing in momentum. With under
two minutes to play in the rst half, Aragon
was leading 21-0 and looking to add more.
But after a reception by Stokman in the red
zone, he sustained a hit and fumbled the ball
at the San Mateo 4-yard line. The Bearcats
recovered the fumble while Stokman fell to
the ground kicking his legs in obvious pain.
Stokman departed for the hospital at half-
time. The senior could be lost for the season,
according to Aragon head coach Steve Sell.
Well denitely have to adjust, Sell said.
Hes a big part of what we do. But [V. A. ]
really stepped in. Its high school foot-
ball. You have to adjust and there are
absolutely zero people who are going to feel
sorry for us.
San Mateo (0-4, 4-4) took advantage of the
turnover by driving 96 yards to get on the
scoreboard before halftime. Bearcats quarter-
back Line Latu nearly singlehandedly perpet-
uated the drive, completing three passes and
running for gains of 7, 28 and 30 yards, the
last of which was a dash for the end zone to cut

PORTLAND, Ore. Warriors guard Klay
Thompson was getting pestered by
Portlands Wesley Matthews, so in a split
second he scrapped his plans to drive to the
hoop and instead just shot on the run.
The shot fell with 8. 9 seconds left on the
clock, and Thompson finished with 29
points in Golden States 95-90 victory over
the Trail Blazers on Sunday night.
If I had a jumper I was
going to shoot it and if
he was on my hip I was
going to try to get to the
rim, Thompson said.
Since he was right there
I decided to try a tough
floater and it went in.
It was the Warriors
third straight win to open
the season their best
start since 1994-95 when they opened 5-0.
LaMarcus Aldridge had 26 points and 13
rebounds to lead the Blazers, who dropped
to 1-2 to start the season.
Our goal was to force them to make tough
shots, and they did, Aldridge said.
After wrestling for the lead throughout the
fourth quarter, Aldridges layup and a fade-
away jumper with 2:01 left gave Portland a
narrow 90-88 lead.
Andre Iguodala missed the second of a pair
of free throws for Golden State with 26. 3
seconds to go to keep the Blazers in front.
But Thompson nailed the floater to give the
Warriors a 91-90 lead with under 10 seconds
on the clock.
We bring him (Thompson) off a little
counter-screen on the baseline and Matthews
chased him, but this is what Klay has
become now. Hes not just a jump shooter.
Hes a guy who can get into the paint and use
his size and strength to get shots up like
that, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said.

Aragon defensive end James Fononga has
never played in the championship game,
but his championship mindset is what gives
the senior standout his edge.
We just treat every game like a champi-
onship game every single game,
Fononga said.
Currently in his third varsity season,
Fononga has twice been to the Central
Coast Section playoffs. Twice the Dons
have fallen short of the ultimate goal,
including Fonongas sophomore season of
2012 when the team reached the CCS
Division II semi-
finals only to be
blown out by
eventual champi-
on St. Francis.
Tabbing a
cumulative 14-8
record through
those two seasons, however, this year is pal-
pably different for the undefeated Dons, who
are currently sitting atop the Peninsula
Athletic League Ocean Division with a 3-0
record in league and 8-0 overall. Not that
Aragons lead is a comfortable one. With two
regular-season games remaining, the Dons
go up against South City and Hillsdale, the
two teams currently within striking distance
in the Ocean Division race.
It seems the Dons biggest adversary this
season has been themselves. Aragon has
played with fire in two of its league victo-
ries, one of them being Fridays 35-27 win
over San Mateo. After leading by three
touchdowns, San Mateo capitalized on
three Aragon turnovers to tie it at 21-21.
So, the Dons had to rely on some second-
half dramatics.
At which point, it was as though Aragon
flipped the intensity switch.
It should be like that every play,
Fononga said.

Now things get really interesting for
College of San Mateo.
With two weeks remaining in the regular
season, three teams are in contention for
the Bay 6 Conference title. CSM (3-0 in
Bay 6, 7-1 overall) is in the thick of the
race, currently tied for first place with City
College of San Francisco (3-0, 7-1) while
Diablo Valley College (2-1, 6-2) trails by
one game.
So, with CSM set to face DVC this com-
ing Saturday before concluding regular-sea-
son play at Nov. 15 at CCSF, the Bulldogs
are facing a full range of possibilities in
terms of the playoff picture. If they win
their final two games, they claim the con-
ference title. If they win one and lose one,
they gain an at-large bid. If they lose both,
season over.
[The games] are definitely important,
CSM slot back D. J. Peluso said. At the
same time, our coaches dont let us look at
stuff like that. He says, Today were 1-0,
tomorrow were 0-0. He doesnt let us look
at anything except for the game we just
played. And Monday we come back and
were 0-0 and we focus on the next oppo-
nent.
Peluso (El Camino) got CSM off to its
fastest start of the year against Saturdays
opponent, Foothill (0-3, 1-7). The sopho-
more took the pitch on an option play and
sprinted 60 yards up the sideline to get the
Bulldogs on the scoreboard just 1 minute,
47 seconds into the game. The run was
Pelusos longest of the season.
The Bulldogs kept adding on from there in
a 63-10 rout of the Owls at College Heights
Stadium.
Peluso went on to post a season-high 100
yards on seven carries. One week after soph-
omore Sammy Fanua tied a CSM record by
rushing for four touchdowns, Peluso came
darn close to also tying the record, running
for three touchdowns. He came one yard shy
of scoring a fourth.
Hes hard to tackle sometimes, CSM
head coach Bret Pollack said. Hes big and
strong and has good enough speed. Today
he was very good.
Peluso showed how tough he can be to
tackle on his final score of the day, a 14-
yard run in the third quarter to give the
Bulldogs a 49-10 cushion. Peluso broke two
tackles on the play and high-stepped over
another with so much panache, the CSM
public-address announcer dubbed the play as
Peluso pirouetting when recapping the
play to the 756 in attendance.
I just go out there and run hard for my O-
line who are blocking their butt off for me,
Peluso said. I just try to make plays when I
get the ball. Thats all I really can do.
CSM got a record day from its defense
though. The Bulldogs outgained the Owls
520-47 in total yards, while the Dogs
defense held the Foothill running game in
check for minus-43 yards, a CSM record.
The Bulldogs notched the record on the final
play of the game when sophomore line-
backer Steven Stewart blitzed the quarter-
back and tabbed CSMs fifth sack on the
day. The sack went for a 5-yard loss to sur-
pass the former record of minus-42 yards,
which was set last season.
They were sending me on a blitz,
Stewart said. Basically, I read the O-line-
man he was driving out really wide, so I
gave him an inside move. It was a sack from
there.
CSMs defense set the tone early with
dominant performances from the middle of
the D-line. Defensive tackle Fou Polataivao
took the start in a three-man rotation with
freshman Cody Brown (Serra) and freshman
Mani Tonga. Foothill went three-and-out on
its first drive with Polataivao paving the
way for linebackers Mikias Alipate and
Semisi Paea.
On D-line, we emphasize letting the
[linebackers] come in free, Polataivao
said. So, our D-line doing that and setting
the tone in the trenches lets our backers
come in and make plays.
Despite the record-breaking performance,
Polataivao echoed the company line of
improving on every performance.
It was a good performance, but to me, I
think we can do way better, he said. Weve
got a lot of potential in us.
CSM led 21-0 at the end of the first quar-
ter. Quarterback Justin Burgess connected
with Raeshawn Lee for a 65-yard touchdown
strike midway through the first quarter.
Burgess aired out a spiral down the left side-
line which Lee caught up with in tight cov-
erage and jogged it into the end zone.
Lee went on to total a career-high 116
yards on three receptions.
Burgess was 8-of-15 for 178 yards pass-
ing on the day with strong protection
throughout. Protecting the quarterback will
be the key to CSMs performance in the
coming weeks. In the Bulldogs only loss of
the season Oct. 4 at American River,
Burgess was under pressure all evening and
managed just six completions while throw-
ing two interceptions. He has had just three
passes picked off all season.
He just needs to calm down and relax
run plays and play football, Pollack said.
Thats why I try not to get young men
caught up in who were playing because
they play (mind) games with themselves.
And theres no need for that. Theres no need
to add something its not. If [the oppo-
nents] play defense, you attack it. Everyone
wants a rivalry, this or that. Youre just put-
ting crap on it you dont need to. And once
hes able to calm down and do that, hes
done well.
Dogs pound Foothill to stay tied atop Bay 6

EUGENE, Ore. Marcus Mariota says the
Oregon Ducks refuse to let the loss to Arizona
back at the start of October define their sea-
son.
With a 45-16 victory over Stanford on
Saturday night, the Ducks (8-1, 5-1 Pac-12,
No. 5 CFP) further distanced themselves from
that loss but remained at No. 5 in the AP Top
25 on Sunday.
The College Football Playoff committee
will decide if Oregon deserves to be among the
top four on Tuesday.
The Ducks will face a challenge next week-
end when they visit No. 20 Utah, which fell
19-16 in overtime at Arizona State on
Saturday night. After that, theyll wrap up the
season against Colorado and Oregon State.
Oregon hadnt been able to beat Stanford for
the past two seasons, and both times the loss-
es thwarted the Ducks march toward a possi-
ble national championship bid.
To fall again to the Cardinal would have
done the same, giving the Ducks two losses
on the season and putting Stanford in com-
mand of the Pac-12 North.
I think guys, with that loss (to Arizona),
kind of grew
up a little bit.
Alot of matu-
rity: The
guys under-
stand that
well kind of
have our backs up against the wall with some
of our goals this year, said Oregon quarter-
back and clear Heisman Trophy candidate
Marcus Mariota.
Weve got to keep fighting through. Hats
off to the guys in that locker room. They
fought, and fought and fought, he added.
And thats what weve got to continue to do if
we want our season what we want it to be.
Oregon coach Mark Helfrich said the
Arizona loss seemed to refocus the Ducks in
their preparation.
Mariota passed for 258 yards and two touch-
downs while rushing for 85 yards and two
more scores against Stanford.
It was his 35th straight game with a touch-
down pass, the second longest streak national-
ly behind Marshalls Rakeem Cato (40). He has
passed for multiple touchdowns in nine straight
games, the longest active streak in FBC.
With four total touchdowns Saturday, he
upped his total this season to 34.

SEATTLE Another close call. Another
week where, no matter the improvement,
the Oakland Raiders showed why they still
remained winless.
I think its coming. This team is far bet-
ter than we were, Ill tell you that, veteran
safety Charles Woodson said. Our record
says what we are, but we are a far better team
than what we were previously.
Marshawn Lynch scored on a pair of first-
half touchdown runs, Bruce Irvin intercept-
ed Derek Carrs pass and returned in 35 yards
for another score and the Seattle Seahawks
beat the Raiders 30-24 on Sunday.
The loss was expected. There was a reason
the Raiders were more than two-touchdown
underdogs going on the road to face the
defending Super Bowl champions. But
Oakland made the second half uncomfort-
able for Seattle and nearly got the bounce it
needed to have one more chance at the vic-
tory in the final minutes.
This thing is starting to turn, interim
Oakland coach Tony Sparano said. Were
playing better and better here as we go on.
Weve just got to get all phases to play bet-
ter so that we can get the feeling of what its
like to be in their locker room right now.
Down 24-3 at halftime, the Raiders twice
pulled within one score. Oakland got a spark
from its special teams when Denico Autry
blocked Jon Ryans punt on the first posses-
sion of the second half and Brice Butler
recovered the ball in the end zone for a touch-
down. It was the first punt block for a touch-
down against Seattle since 2003 and the sec-
ond for Oakland in the past two seasons.
After another brief possession by the
Seahawks, T. J. Carrie returned Ryans punt
27 yards to the Seattle 30. Carr hit Darren
McFadden for 23 yards and on fourth-and-
goal at the 1, Rivera hauled in a pass at the
back of the end zone to cut Seattles lead to
24-17.
Then down 30-17 in the fourth quarter,
Carr led one more scoring drive hitting
Rivera again on a 1-yard TD with 1:52 left
to pull within six. Sebastian Janikowskis
onside kick was misplayed by Seattles
Cooper Helfet, but Jermaine Kearse fell on
the loose ball and Seattle ran out the clock
to hand the Raiders (0-8) their 14th straight
loss dating to last season.
I know you all would like it easier and
smoother and cleaner and all that, but its a
battle. Suck it up, Seattle coach Pete
Carroll said.
Oakland could not overcome its first-half
mistakes that included two interceptions by
Carr. Irvin tipped Carrs pass intended for
James Jones, located the ball in the air then
beat Carr to the pylon for his first career
touchdown. Later in the first half, Richard
Sherman got his first interception of the sea-
son, getting better position than Andre
Holmes on a back-shoulder pass and pulling
in the pick with his left hand. T.J. Carrie also
fumbled a kickoff that Hauschka recovered.
In the first half, I was doing too much,
Carr said. In the second half, I came out and
was like, You know what, Ive just got to do
my job and trust everyone else will do
theres and all these things. You saw how
we battled in the second half.
Carr was 24 of 41 for 194 yards passing,
but the Raiders had no run game. Already the
worst in the NFL, Oakland finished with 37
yards rushing.
Lynch finished with 67 yards rushing and
another 76 receiving, but the day could have
been far more productive for Seattles bull-
dozing back. Lynch had gains of 43, 20 and
11 yards on either runs or passes called back
by penalties. He scored on a 3-yard run on
Seattles opening drive, carrying Oakland
defenders and teammates into the end zone.
His 5-yard run at the end of the first half
gave the Seahawks a 21-point lead that
seemed plenty comfortable at the time.
Not all was perfect for Seattle. Russell
Wilson struggled through one of his worst
passing games and the Seahawks failed to
capitalize on numerous chances to rout the
winless Raiders. Wilson was 17 of 35 pass-
ing for 179 yards with stretches of inconsis-
tency. Seattle was also limited by injuries
including three starters on the offensive line
out at one point of the second half.
Whatever I was trying to do, it just was-
nt working, Wilson said. But, the thing
is, we won.

ADMISSION
Playing for the second time in 21 days,
the teams both were coming off embarrass-
ing routs the Rams last week 34-7 in
Kansas City and the 49ers 42-17 at Denver
on Oct. 19 and this wasnt pretty, either.
The Niners did little to impress members
of the World Series champion San Francisco
Giants in the stands wearing 49ers gear.
Former coach George Seifert was in atten-
dance as well for his induction into the fran-
chise Hall of Fame.
That was a tough loss. We didnt have
enough good football to win the game,
49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said. We got
beat. We have to suck it up.
Kenny Britt caught a 21-yard touchdown
pass that tied the game at 10 1:04 before
halftime. Britt was wide open on a crossing
route and easily ran in down the left side-
line. That came three plays after Robert
Quinn sacked forced Kaepernick into losing
his first fumble of the day.
Then, the crazy final play of the first half
was upheld on replay review.
When Phil Dawsons 55-yard field goal
try came up well short, Tavon Austin caught
the ball near the back of the end zone and
brought it out a few yards before backtrack-
ing to try to get around the right edge.
Derek Carrier tackled Austin in the end
zone as the first-half clock expired.
As the two teams headed for their respec-
tive locker rooms, the head coaches stayed
put for the ruling, which was that forward
progress was stopped in the field of play
and the play stood without a safety.
Kaepernick threw an earlier 27-yard
touchdown pass to Boldin, giving him TD
passes in 15 straight games tied for the
second-longest streak in franchise history
with Jeff Garcia. Hall of Famer Steve Young
had 17 in a row.
When the NFC West rivals first played
Oct. 13, Kaepernick threw for 343 yards and
three touchdowns with no interceptions or
sacks. He finished Sunday with 237 yards
on 22-of-33 passing.
Rams quarterback Austin Davis had a scare
in the first quarter. After a 10-yard, he slid
on his braced left knee and it caught awk-
wardly in the loose sod that has been prob-
lematic at Levis Stadium. Backup Shaun
Hill entered for one play and Davis returned.
San Francisco struggled to get pressure on
Davis, while missing star linebacker
Patrick Willis for the second straight game
with an injured left big toe.

One injured
in Redskins
bus accident
By Dave Campbell
MINNEAPOLIS Rough start to the day
for the Washington Redskins: The two
buses transporting players, coaches and
team personnel to the game against the
Minnesota Vikings on Sunday collided on
an interstate exit ramp on their way to TCF
Bank Stadium.
The Redskins arrived relatively safely,
but not wholly unscathed. Bumped knees
and whiplash were common complaints.
Team spokesman Tony Wyllie said before
the game no one was injured, but coach Jay
Gruden confirmed afterward that rookie run-
ning back Silas Redd Jr. was held out of the
game because of back spasms.
The game began as scheduled, and the
Redskins seized an early 10-0 lead before fal-
tering late and falling to the Vikings 29-26.
A little unique way to start the day,
when youre getting ready for a football
game and youre five feet from driving off
a cliff onto the highway, said Gruden,
who reported a stiff neck.
Minnesota State Patrol Lt. Eric Roeske
said one of the Minneapolis police squads
escorting two buses crashed into a guard
rail and ended up in front of the buses. He
said the first bus braked, but the second bus
rear-ended the first bus on the ramp. He said
the accident call came in around 8:15 a. m. ,
a little less than four hours before kickoff.
Roeske said the officer in the squad car
was taken to a hospital. He added there were
minor injuries such as scrapes and bruises
on at least one bus passenger but said he
didnt know how many sustained injuries.
Manning has 14th straight
multi-touchdown pass game
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Peyton
Manning has set another NFL record by
throwing for more than one touchdown pass
in his 14th consecutive game.
The Denver Broncos quarterback threw scor-
ing passes of 18 yards to Julius Thomas and 15
yards to Ronnie Hillman in the third quarter of
a 43-21 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
Going into the game, Manning had two
13-game streaks with at least two touch-
down passes and Tom Brady of the Patriots
and Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers
each had one.
The two touchdown passes increased
Mannings record total to 515 for his career.
He broke Brett Favres record of 508 earlier
in the season.
DeMeco Ryans tears Achilles
Eagles linebacker DeMeco Ryans tore his
right Achilles tendon in Philadelphias 31-
21 win over Houston on Sunday, a person
familiar with the injury said.
Ryans was carted off the field in the fourth
quarter after fumbling the ball following an
interception. The person spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity because the Eagles didnt
release details of the injury.
NFL briefs
By Rachel Cohen
NEW YORK Wilson Kipsang, a former
world-record holder, needed to force himself
to slow down.
The Kenyan star had entered his first New
York City Marathon to challenge himself
on a hilly course with no pacemaker. A
windy morning made for quite the test
Sunday, and Kipsang proved he can win a
strategic race.
I had to really exercise a lot of patience,
he said.
Kipsang pulled away in the final mile for
his third major marathon title in just over
13 months. Mary Keitany also took the lead
late in the womens race for a Kenyan
sweep.
Kipsangs record-setting victories in Berlin
and London were on flat courses with the aid of
a pacemaker, very different from Sunday, when
winds were gusting at more than 30 mph at the
start. The contenders adjusted by cautiously
sticking to a slow pace.
It was very tactical, Kipsang said. So
it was not easy.
He finished in 2 hours, 10 minutes, 55
seconds the slowest winning time in New
York since 1995, and more than 7 1/2 min-
utes off the world record he sent just over a
year ago in Berlin.
Keitany tried a very different tactic in her
last NYC Marathon, surging ahead to a huge
early lead in 2011. She was caught that day
and had to settle for her second straight
third-place finish.
This time, Keitany held back. She and
countrywoman Jemima Sumgong entered
Central Park side by side, and Sumgong
appeared to be pulling away with just over a
mile left.
But Keitany had one last burst left and won
by 3 seconds, matching the tightest finish in
the history of the womens race. Keitany, a
two-time London Marathon champ, hadnt
run a 26.2-mile race since 2012 because of
the birth of her second child.
I worked hard for this opportunity, she
said. Im happy because I have a victory
today, because I know Ive been coming to
New York two times, and I was in that posi-
tion. So Im happy today because it was a
good day and I win.
A record 50, 881 runners started the 44th
edition of the NYC Marathon. It was so
windy that the wheelchair race started at the
3-mile mark because it was too dangerous to
roll across the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.
Keitany and Kipsang each earned
$100, 000. Kipsang also clinched the
$500, 000 World Marathon Majors bonus
with the victory. He set a course record in
winning London in April.
Had Kipsang finished second Sunday, the
prize would have gone to occasional train-
ing partner Dennis Kimetto, who broke his
world record five weeks ago in Berlin.
Kipsang and Ethiopias Lelisa Desisa, the
2013 Boston Marathon champ, had separat-
ed from the pack when they entered Central
Park. Desisa at one point accidentally
bumped into Kipsang, who turned to ask
what happened considering how much space
they had.
Then Kipsang decided this was a good
time for his finishing kick. He had been
saving his energy exactly for this moment.
I really trusted myself, he said.
Ki psang wound up beat i ng Desi sa by
11 seconds. Anot her Et hi opi an, 2010
NYC Marat hon wi nner Gebre
Gebremari am, was t hi rd.
The reigning Boston Marathon champ,
American Meb Keflezighi, took fourth. It was
the fourth top-four finish in New York for the
39-year-old Keflezighi, who won in 2009.
Geoffrey Mutai, seeking to become the
first man to win three straight NYC
Marathons since Alberto Salazar in 1980-
82, faded back to sixth.
Bronx resident Buzunesh Deba of
Ethiopia was ninth in the womens race after
finishing as the runner-up at the last two
NYC Marathons. She was seeking to
become the first New Yorker to win the race
in 40 years.
Keitany won in 2:25:07. In 2004, Paula
Radcliffe also beat Susan Chepkemei by just
3 seconds. Portugals Sara Moreira was third
Sunday in her marathon debut.
McFadden wins wheelchair title
Even a brief fall couldnt stop Tatyana
McFadden from finishing off another
marathon grand slam.
McFadden won the wheelchair title at the
New York City Marathon on Sunday to win
her eighth straight race and cap off a second
consecutive year of winning London,
Boston, Chicago and New York.
McFadden laughed off her fall late in the
race.
That was my fault, it was coming into the
turn before the climb, right before the finish,
that one last right turn, McFadden said.
I just took the wrong line, and I fell out
of my wheelchair. I quickly had to get back
in, she said. I think I hit a bike. It was
quite embarrassing, but I owned it at that
moment, and I got back in and took one
look behind me to make sure the girls didnt
catch me, and I just continued with my way
up that last hill right before the finish.
The 25-year-old hasnt lost a marathon
shes entered since 2012 and finished New
York in an unofficial time of 1 hour, 42 min-
utes, 16 seconds.
I cannot believe that I have won eight
marathons in a row, McFadden said.
Again, this is absolutely incredible.
McFadden competed in the Sochi
Paralympic Games last winter and won a sil-
ver medal in cross-country skiing. Shes
won 10 medals from the last three Summer
Paralympic Games.
This year has been an absolutely incredi-
ble year, McFadden said. Theres no words
to describe it. I did the Winter Paralympics
in Sochi, and I got to go back to my place
where I was born and have my birth family,
my adoptive family there. Winning the sil-
ver medal was just the cherry on top.
Kurt Fearnley won the mens wheelchair
race, pulling ahead in the final 200 meters
to finish in 1:30. 55, unofficially. Four men
finished within three seconds of Fearnley,
who won four straight New York Marathons
from 2006-09.
Both wheelchair races started at the third
mile just past the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge
because it was such a windy day.

Always Welcome!
Aragons lead to 21-7.
That game turned on one play, Sell said.
We were getting ready to go into the half up
28-0 and we gave them life.
In the second half, San Mateo kept right on
cashing in on turnovers.
Midway through the third quarter, Aragon
fumbled at mideld. San Mateo responded by
pushing the ball downeld with sturdy yards
from senior running back Wilson Filikitonga
who ultimately punched in a 1-yard score to
draw to within one score at 21-14.
Four plays later, San Mateo got that score
when Latu intercepted a pass from Dons quar-
terback Billy Mason and returned it 40 yards
for a dramatic game-tying score. It was Latus
seventh interception of the season and his
second returned for a touchdown.
It was a good ght and we were right back
in it, Latu said. But we couldnt do anything
else. They played a really good game.
Before taking the eld on the ensuing
drive, the Dons regrouped on the sideline
with sophomore center James Kilcullen tak-
ing aside Mason to get on the same page
before the pivotal possession.
After I threw the pick six, I was frustrated,
Mason said. But my center came over to me
and gave me a lot of condence. He said:
Weve got ot get back in this. Youre a good
quarterback, youre a good player. I know you
can do this.
That just boosted my condence and when
we went out there everybody just picked me
up. And we just got right back into it.
It took Aragon six plays to take the lead
back. The Dons went to Wilson on the rst
play from their own 40-yard line, and he
sprinted 15 yards on a sweep to get into San
Mateo territory. Mason rode the momentum
for a 12-yard dash on a quarterback keeper.
Three plays later, Mason connected with wide
receiver Kono Filimoehala for a 33-yard
strike to advance to the 4-yard line.
Then Wilson followed a block by fullback
Bubba Tongamoa to waltz into the end zone
to put Aragon up for good 28-21.
Aragons defense followed with a big stop
near mideld. Dons defensive end James
Fononga continued to be a game-changer up
front this season with a big third-down stop
and a key blitz on fourth down to force an
incompletion to give the ball back to
Aragon.
The Dons consolidated into the goal line
offense in an effort to minimize Wilsons
attack. But attack he still did, carrying the
ball on ve on the next seven plays.
Tongamoa punctuated the drive with a 12-yard
run to give the Dons a 35-21 lead.
San Mateo drove downeld to add a nal
touchdown when Latu hit Filikitonga over the
middle for a 25-yard score. But with 1:36
remaining in the game, San Mateo couldnt
execute an onside kick and Aragon ran out the
clock.
Latu nished the game with eight carries for
86 yards and passed for another 76.
I cant say enough about that kid, San
Mateo head coach Jeff Scheller said. If we
dont have him, were a completely different
program. Hes just a phenomenal, humble
athlete. He wont take any credit. He just goes
out there and plays.
When Stokman departed the game, he and
Wilson were neck-and-neck in rushing yards.
Stokman nished with six carries for 82
yards. He scored Aragons rst touchdown in
the rst quarter on an 8-yard play action trap
play. The Dons produced another touchdown
three minutes later after recovering a fumble,
with Mason hitting Fononga for a 21-yard
touchdown. In the second quarter, Wilson set
up the third score with a 47-yard run to the
San Mateo 5-yard line. Tongamoa bulled into
the end zone on the next play.
While not technically a rivalry game, the
air was fueled by a crosstown dynamic with
many of the players growing up together.
They went to the same middle school,
Scheller said. So, its always a fun game to
play because they all know each other. But
[Aragon is] also very good, and very big.
Size-wise, man-to-man, were always out-
manned. So the fact that we can play against
big teams like that is a testament to the kids.
I get tired of losing to them, but theyre a
good team.
DONS
TERRY BERNAL/DAILY JOURNAL
Ty Stokman is attended to on the sideline after dislocating his elbow in the second quarter
of Aragons 35-27 win over San Mateo.
Steph Curry made free throws the rest of
the way for the final margin. Curry finished
with 21 points for the Warriors.
Thompson scored a career-high 41 points
the night before in a 127-104 victory over
the Los Angeles Lakers. Thompson com-
bined with Curry to score 72 of Golden
States points.
Coach Steve Kerr said before Sundays
game that he was impressed but not only
with the scoring outburst from the duo
known as the Splash Brothers.
Its a tandem thats playing both ends of
the floor. Thats exciting, he said.
Thompson and Curry scored Golden
States first 16 points against the Blazers,
and the Warriors built a 24-14 first-quarter
lead after Thompsons 3-pointer.
Golden State led by as many as 12 points,
but Portland closed the gap to 38-27 follow-
ing Matthews 3-pointer and Thomas
Robinsons basket. The Blazers couldnt
pull in front but kept it close and trailed by
just 51-48 at the half.
Portland briefly pulled ahead 68-66 late in
the third quarter on Will Bartons 22-foot
pull-up jumper and the game was tied at 68
going into the back-and-fourth fourth.
Robin Lopez, who had collected five
fouls, hit a short jumper to give Portland an
80-79 lead with 5:49 left. Andrew Boguts
tip-in and Thompsons dunk gave the
Warriors back an 85-84 lead.
Lopez finished with 12 points and 10
rebounds for the Blazers.
There was talk about Damian Lillards
slow starts after the first two games of the
season. He had totaled just six first-half
points and was 2-for-10 from the field.
The All-Star guards first-half woes contin-
ued against the Warriors, and he was 1-for-8 for
five points. Lillard finished with 11 points.
Lillard said hes struggled for a game or two
in his young career, but never for a series.
I think its just one of those stretches
you have to go through, and that you can
grow from, Lillard said.
Blazers Coach Terry Stotts was unconcerned.
Dame just plays the game, he said.
Hell get his shots.
Thompson is the son of Mychal
Thompson, who was selected first overall in
the 1978 draft by the Blazers. The elder
Thompson spent seven years in Portland.
Thompson and Curry combined for 31
first-half points.
Kings hand Clippers first loss
LOS ANGELES DeMarcus Cousins had
34 points and 17 rebounds, Rudy Gay added
25 points, and the Sacramento Kings hand-
ed the poor shooting Los Angeles Clippers
their first loss, 98-92 on Sunday.
The Kings (2-1) rallied from a 10-point
deficit in the third quarter and outscored the
Clippers 28-18 in the fourth. They took the
lead for good on a layup by Gay with just
under six minutes to play.
Blake Griffin and Spencer Hawes both
scored 17 points to lead five Clippers in
double figures. Chris Paul had 16 points and
11 assists, J. J. Redick had 12 points, and
Jordan Farmar 10.
The Clippers (2-1) struggled offensively
for the third straight game, shooting 33 of
88. They were 9 of 31 from 3-point range,
with Matt Barnes, Paul and Redick combin-
ing to miss a slew in the fourth.
Even new Clippers owner Steve Ballmer
couldnt exhort his team to victory, his fists
clenched, his face red and his lips forming
the words, Lets go! from his baseline seat.
Sacramentos Darren Collison scored 14
points in his first game against his former team.
The Clippers led by two early in the
fourth, when their second unit got things
going. But the starters returned and couldnt
make a difference.
Cousins scored the Kings first eight
points of the game, and he had 11 points in
the third when they cut a 10-point deficit to
four heading into the fourth.
Sacramentos Ben McLemore received a fla-
grant-1 for pulling Griffin down from behind
midway through the first. Griffin was on a
breakaway when McLemore yanked on his jer-
sey, sending Griffin to the court, where he land-
ed at McLemores feet near the basket support.
Cousins was trailing on the play, and the refer-
ees quickly moved in to separate the players.

WHERE THE READY GET READY
Every Battery For Every Need
By Gary B. Graves
CINCINNATI Lauren Hill felt so
good after fulfilling her dream that she
felt inspired to play another game.
Makes sense, since the freshman
forward for Division III Mount St.
Josephs stirred a capacity crowd just
by taking the court.
Much depends on Hills health and
energy as she deals with an inoperable
brain tumor that has left her with just
months to live. In between making
two layups that started and finished
Sundays 66-55 victory over Hiram
College and brought a crowd of 10, 250
to its feet, she spent much of her
inspiring game sitting on the bench
wearing sunglasses and headphones.
Hills condition has made her
extremely sensitive to sensations her
teammates and opposing players take
for granted, but she still enjoyed the
bright gym and the cheering crowd.
And she certainly savored her two bas-
kets on a day she will never forget.
This game was amazing, Hill said.
It was awesome in every way. Its a
dream come true. To play on a college
court, to put my foot down on the floor
and hear the roar of the crowd I just
love it so much. I love basketball.
Everything that happened today
was amazing. Im truly happy, its a
really good day.
Hill made an uncontested left-handed
layup for the opening basket off a
bounce pass from redshirt sophomore
Taylor Brown, who missed last season
with a knee injury. The tumor affects
Hills coordination, forcing the right-
hander to shoot with her left hand.
She also made the last shot of the
game, returning with 26. 5 seconds
remaining for a right-handed layup.
Thats the one Ive been having
trouble with, Hill said.
Both shots were greeted with stand-
ing ovations from the sellout crowd at
Xavier Universitys 10, 000-seat
arena, part of an emotional afternoon
for Hill that included love and support
from stars in several sports. Tennessee
womens coach Pat Summitt was in
attendance, along with an impressive
list of WNBA play-
ers that included
Elena Delle Donne,
Delisha Milton-
Jones, Tamika
Catchings and
Skylar Diggins.
She lets you
know whats
i m p o r t a n t ,
Milton-Jones said
of Hill.
Moved by the response especial-
ly after receiving two awards, includ-
ing the U. S. Basketball Writers
Associations Pat Summitt Most
Courageous Award normally awarded at
the Final Four Hill said of her dis-
ease: Were gonna fight this.
Hills determination to play while
raising awareness about pediatric can-
cer has created a fan base that goes far
beyond the school located on the out-
skirts of Cincinnati.
The 19-year-old native of
Lawrenceburg, Indiana, has received
support from across the country.
Teams and players have signed and
sent No. 22 jerseys to Hill, including
15 from high schools that lined the
Lions bench.
There were plenty of posters and
supportive signs, and several fans held
up large yellow cutouts that said
Lauren 22.
Hill started an online layup chal-
lenge that involves spinning around
five times and shooting a layup with
the non-dominant hand. Similar to
this summers ALS Ice Bucket
Challenge that became a social media
phenomenon, the fundraising cam-
paign ((hash)Layup4Lauren) has cap-
tured the attention of Cincinnati
Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton and
other athletes.
The Bengals showed a video of her
layup during a timeout in Sundays 33-
23 home win against Jacksonville.
Defensive tackle Devon Still whose
daughter, Leah, 4, is also being treated
for cancer wore Hills name on his
eye black; left tackle Andrew
Whitworth had the No. 22 on his
gloves.
Videos were shown with teams meet-
ing the challenge with missed
layups and challenging others.
Fundraising by The Cure Starts Now
Foundation totaled more than
$40, 000. The NCAA allowed the game
to be moved up two weeks because of
the urgency of Hills condition.
Lauren Hildebrand and daughter
Allie, a Lawrenceburg High School
sophomore, were among 3, 000 fans
from Hills hometown in attendance,
including the schools pep band. Allie
Hildebrand was Hills little sister
during the players senior year and said
handling her friends illness was diffi-
cult.
You cant cry in front of her,
Hildebrand said. You dont want to get
upset in front of her. That makes her
upset.
Tears were conspicuously absent in
the arena on an upbeat day that cele-
brated Hills perseverance. Mount St.
Josephs coach Dan Benjamin said
things got emotional afterward, but
Hill wasnt having it in a game she has
waited for.
She looked tired on the bus,
Benjamin said, but once she saw that
floor, there was a ton of energy.
That was obvious when a smiling
Hill entered the floor for warmups. Her
mood lifted the spirits of several chil-
dren enduring various forms of cancer.
That included Cynthia Towne, 11, who
undergoes periodic chemotherapy for
an inoperable though less-aggressive
form of cancer first diagnosed at 4.
The little girl from Cincinnati
grinned widely as she gave Hill a spe-
cially made headband sporting the
word Believe with a yellow ribbon
in the middle. Encouraged by recent
diagnoses for her daughter, Katie
Towne said Sunday was nonetheless
bittersweet.
Im happy for the joy of her getting
her wish coming true, not only for
raising awareness but also for being
able to play in this game, Towne said
of Hill. But theres also sadness
knowing that how much awareness she
brings right now, she wont get to reap
the benefits personally.
Thats whats amazing; she did this,
knowing that, Towne said.

Djokovic cruises to
Paris Masters title
By Samuel Petrequin
PARIS Novak Djokovic became the first man to suc-
cessfully defend his title at the Paris Masters with a 6-2, 6-3
victory over Milos Raonic on Sunday, putting himself in a
commanding position in his fight with Roger Federer for the
year-end No.1 spot.
Djokovic, who did not drop a set during
the whole week, claimed the 20th Masters
title of his career and won the indoor tour-
nament for the third time, matching the
tally of his coach Boris Becker in the
French capital.
To be able to win it two years in a row
with the final tournament of the year
ahead of me, its great, said Djokovic,
who neutralized Raonics big serve with
his sharp returns. I played the best match
of the entire week today when it was most needed.
Unbeaten on an indoors court in two years, the Serb made a
big step in his bid to finish the year at the top for a third time.
Djokovic extended his lead over Federer to 1,310 points
before the ATP Finals starting a week from now in London,
where Djokovic is the two-time defending champion.
Federer had cut the deficit to 490 points but his quarterfinals
loss in Paris has hampered his bid to overtake Djokovic in
London, where a potential 1,500 points are up for grabs.
I see it better now than one week ago, thats for sure,
Djokovic said after dedicating his win to his newborn son
Stefan. Every match that I play and win gets me closer to
holding No. 1 at the end of the year.
The 23-year-old Raonic, who has never beaten Djokovic in
their four meetings, appeared apprehensive and could not
convert his few openings. Djokovics only scare came in the
first set when Raonic won eight straight points but failed to
convert three consecutive break opportunities.
I thought he played some great tennis, neutralized my
serve well, said Raonic, who hit just nine aces compared to
the 21 in his quarterfinal win over Federer. He didnt really
give me too many looks. Even on the break chances I had, he
played them well. He just made life difficult for me today.
Raonic started with an ace traveling at 223 kph (138 mph)
but the Canadian was unable to use his serve with its usual
efficiency and was broken immediately after netting an easy
backhand volley before Djokovic built a 4-1 lead.
Facing three break points in the next game, Raonic sud-
denly came to life and saved them all with a series of eight
consecutive points. But he missed the chance to come back
when Djokovic fended off three break points and moved 5-2
up before closing the set with another break when Raonic
missed and easy smash then shanked a backhand volley.
Djokovic had received treatment on his right calf at 5-2 but
did not seem hampered in his movements afterward.
Its just in that game I had one extreme slide, he said.
After that I felt pretty good. No concern.
Djokovic took his opponents first service game at the
start of the second set and stayed in control until the end
although Raonic saved two match points before bowing out.

NFL GLANCE
Despite the final results, it has-
nt always been like that. So,
when Aragon recaptured the lead
late in the third quarter, Fononga
made certain his defense wouldnt
let up. And when it came down to
crunch time, Fononga himself
stepped up to lead by example.
Not only is he good, he gives
the other kids confidence that
weve got this guy on our side,
Aragon head coach Steve Sell
said.
With Aragon leading 28-21 in
the fourth quarter, San Mateo
moved the ball into Dons territo-
ry. But with the Bearcats facing
third-and-7 from the 45-yard line,
Fononga effectively read a down
block and drilled the San Mateo
running back at the line of scrim-
mage, limiting him to a 1-yard
gain.
Fononga then brought his
intensity back to the defensive
huddle to rally the Dons as they
faced a crucial fourth down stand-
off. San Mateo went to the
air, but Fononga blitzed San
Mateo quarterback Line Latu to
cause a hurried throw for an
incomplete pass
If we had given up that drive
that would have given them back
the momentum, Fononga said.
So that stop was critical.
It isnt the first time this season
Fononga has come up with a
clutch stop with a game on the
line. In the fourth quarter of a 19-
13 win over Woodside in the PAL
Ocean Division opener Oct. 17,
the Wildcats advanced the ball to
the Aragon 30-yard line. But on
fourth-and-short, Fononga met
Woodsides
quarterback
sneak with an
immediate hit
to push the
play backwards
and force a
turnover on
downs.
Its what the
6-2, 250-pound
defensive end does. He is physi-
cally imposing and has the speed
and agility to dominate at the
high school level.
Hes such a great athlete that
he could have played outside line-
backer, but he feels more at home
at defensive end, Sell said. Hes
a phenomenal football player.
With the SAT scheduled for
Saturday, Fononga is hoping to
cement his standing as a
Division-I prospect. In the offsea-
son, he attended camps at Texas
Christian University and San Jose
State. He is hoping to follow in
the footsteps of the Aragon great
that mentored him during his
sophomore season, former all-
league defensive end David
Manoa, who graduated following
the 2012 season and is now on
roster at University of Hawaii.
As was Manoa, Fononga is a
two-way player who also sees
time at tight end. After beginning
his varsity career as a sophomore
more who was enamored with
offense, he dedicated to defense as
a junior when he made the transi-
tion from defensive tackle to
defensive end.
Obviously at first, I didnt like
defense because sophomore year I
played mostly offense, Fononga
said. Now I prefer defense. Thats
what I love.
Fononga who hasnt missed
a game throughout his varsity
career is still focused on the
business at hand of leading the
Dons to that elusive champi-
onship. And while the defense
may have suffered a huge blow
Friday when Ty Stokman departed
with an injury the senior has
made waves on offense as the
Dons go-to wide receiver, but he
has also been a standout in the
secondary Aragon saw a big
return to the starting lineup Friday
when middle linebacker Bubba
Tongamoa made his first start
since Week 2 when he departed
with a broken arm.
I think its a big shift,
Fononga said of the return of
Tongamoa, who previously saw
action as a reserve Oct. 24 against
Half Moon Bay. When he comes
in, me and him, we work together
so well. We hit gaps so well. We
know how each other plays.
The chemistry stands to reason,
as the two have been best friends
since they were kindergarteners at
Horrall Elementary School. But
Tongamoa seemed to be soldiering
through some pain Friday.
He was really hurting,
Fononga said. He told me he was
fine but I knew he wasnt fine.
Aragon is certainly counting on
Tongamoa down the stretch
though because, with he and
Fononga on the field, the Dons
have the ability to flip the switch
at any time. Its a dynamic they
will be counting on as Fononga
hopes to conclude his Aragon
career by utilizing that champi-
onship-game intensity in an actu-
al championship game.

omething tells me a few parents are
naming their newborns Madison,
after Madison Bumgarner pitched
the San Francisco Giants to a third World
Series title in ve years and pitched him-
self onto the Mount Rushmore of World
Series legends. Were seeing Giants fever
at our adoption counter and in letters and
email from recent adopters as well. Giants-
themed names for pets are the rage. We
know of a few Busters, for example. Just
for fun, how about these other options:
Angel Pagan wasnt part of the Series due
to injury, but Angel would be a sweet name
for any cat. Blanco works too, for a white
dog, cat or bunny. Bugs Blanco has a nice
ring to it. Hunter (the Giants have two!)
sounds right for a big sporting breed. And,
Bum? Perfect for the big, loping type, like
a Coon Hound or Clumber Spaniel. Craw
(for Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford)
would be a great sh or bird name. Panda?
If you are a Giants fan and youre adopting
a black and white, rotund dog, cat or
bunny, why wouldnt you name him
Panda? How about a perfect name for the
little scrappy dog we currently have
loads of them available for adoption?
Consider Duffy, Huddy, Vogie or Raggs
(for pitching coach Dave Righetti). Of
course, some people like less traditional
pet names. How cool would Panik be for
your adopted, agile cat, or Romo, for your
rat! Kruk and Kuip are perfect for a pair of
vocal, bonded Guinea pigs. Finally, for
the wise-beyond-his-years pet with a big,
blocky head, you cant go wrong with
Bochy. Our adoptable shelter pets already
have names, but we know most people
change them. This is ne. Animals adjust
to new names. Just be sure not to give
them a confusing name, like one that
sounds similar to common commands such
as sit, stay and down.

NEW YORK In a scary close finish, the
Jake Gyllenhaal crime thriller
Nightcrawler and the board-game adapta-
tion Ouija tied for first at the box office
with $10. 9 million each over the
Halloween weekend.
That was according to estimates Sunday
from each films distributor. Studios can
predict a films Sunday performance with
fairly accurate precision. When final figures
are announced Monday, one film will likely
slightly edge out the other.
For Open Roads low-budget Los Angeles
noir Nightcrawler, it was a strong debut
considering its creepy, unconventional
protagonist. Gyllenhaal plays an ambu-
lance-chasing man who shoots gory
footage for the local news.
The independent, R-rated film was able to
capitalize on a weekend the studios were
frightened away from. With Halloween
falling on a Friday, trick-or-treating canni-
balized one of the most lucrative moviego-
ing nights of the week. Grosses were down
40 percent Friday from the same weekend a
year ago, according to box-office tracker
Rentrak.
Most studios know when Halloween
falls on a Friday, usually theyre not good
days, said Universals distribution head,
Nikki Rocco. People party. Its a holiday,
and its not a moviegoing holiday.
Open Roads estimate for Nightcrawler
was technically $8, 760 above Universals
number for Ouija. But that tiny margin
may not hold up when receipts from Sunday
are counted. Other studios had Ouija as
narrowly edging Nightcrawler.
Weve seen squeakers over the years but
this is one of the closest ones Ive ever
seen, said Paul Dergarabedian, senior
media analyst for Rentrak. Its a testament
to the holding power of `Ouija.
Despite the Halloween night impact,
Ouija dropped only 45 percent after top-
ping the box office last weekend. Thats
unusually low for a micro-budget horror
film, most of which see interest wane con-
siderably after opening. But Universal
opened the horror film a weekend ahead of
Halloween to give it a two-week window.
The close contest added drama to one of
the quietest movie weekends of the year.
Overall business was down 25 percent from
the prior year. Said Dergarabedian: The
scariest thing about this weekend was that
Halloween fell on a Friday.
Next weekend will be a far different story,
though, with the highly anticipated release
of Christopher Nolans sci-fi epic
Interstellar, as well as Disneys animated
superhero film Big Hero 6.
In the meantime, the Brad Pitt World War
II tale Fury held in third place with $9. 1
million in its third week of release.

CHICAGO Daredevil Nik
Wallenda wowed Chicago and the
world Sunday with two hair-rais-
ing skyscraper crossings on high
wires without a safety net or a har-
ness.
Thousands of cheering fans
packed the streets around the
citys Marina City towers to watch
the 35-year-old heir to the Flying
Wallendas family business com-
plete the back-to-back walks,
including one wearing a blindfold.
As he stepped from the wire after
completing the second leg, he tore
off his blindfold and waved to the
crowd below that erupted in
cheers.
The spectacle was telecast
almost-live on the Discovery
Channel so producers could cut
away if Wallenda fell.
Wearing a bright red jacket,
Wallenda tested the tension of the
first wire. It took him about six
and a half minutes to walk the 454
foot stretch from the Marina City
west tower to the top of a building
on the other side of the river. The
tightrope began at 588 feet from
the ground and ended at 671 feet - a
19-degree incline.
I love Chicago and Chicago
definitely loves me, said
Wallenda as he walked the wire,
with the crowd of thousands
screaming in support. What an
amazing roar!
The next stage of Wallendas
high-wire event he undertook
blindfolded - a 94-foot walk, 543
feet from the ground, between the
two Marina City towers, Chicago
landmarks with Hollywood cred-
its. At a fast clip, he made the
stretch in little more than a
minute.
The Discovery Channel used a
10-second delay for the broadcast,
which would have allowed produc-
ers to cut away if anything went
wrong.
At around 6:40 p. m. , just min-
utes before the anticipated start of
his high-wire feat, Wallenda, who
lives in Florida, said the chilly
conditions in Chicago would not
stall him.
Yes theres some wind, yes its
cool, but its not unbearable, he
said.
Months of preparations have
meant helicopters lifting cable to
the rooftops, road closures and
clearances from the Federal
Aviation Administration and U. S.
Coast Guard. Residents of Marina
City have been asked not to use
laser pointers, camera flashes or
drones that could interfere.

NEW ORLEANS
Philanthropist Bill Gates says he
wants to end malaria in his lifetime
and will give more money toward
that goal, part of his broader fight
against tropical diseases that are
getting unusual public attention
because of the Ebola epidemic.
In an interview with The
Associated Press and in a speech
Sunday at a global health confer-
ence in New Orleans, the
Microsoft co-founder said his Bill
& Melinda Gates Foundation
would increase its malaria pro-
gram budget by 30 percent, to
more than $200 million per year.
Thats on top of the foundations
other donations to the Global
Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis
and Malaria.
Small steps wont get the job
done, and scientists dont have all
the tools they need to eradicate
malaria, Gates said.
His plan includes developing a
drug or vaccine to purge the malar-
ia parasite in people who carry it
without showing symptoms a
human reservoir that helps
spread the disease.
I really do believe that malaria
can be eradicated in my lifetime,
said Gates, who just turned 59.
Gates spoke at the annual meet-
ing of the American Society of
Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, a
conference that usually gets little
public notice, about diseases
often referred to as neglected.
That is not the case this year. On
Wednesday, Louisiana officials
created a stir by asking the 3, 500
people registered for the confer-
ence to stay away if they have
been to certain West African coun-
tries or have had contact with an
Ebola patient in the last 21 days,
the maximum incubation period
for Ebola.
Conference organizers called
the stance an overreaction to
Ebola fears, and said it would pre-
vent some scientists from pre-
senting studies on the outbreak,
which has killed about 5, 000
Africans this year.
In all, Gates said his foundation
will commit more than $500 mil-
lion this year to fight malaria,
pneumonia, and diarrheal and par-
asitic diseases in poor countries.
Here are some he discussed.
Ebola
The conference comes at a piv-
otal moment in the history of
global health because of the
worlds largest outbreak of Ebola,
Gates said. He and his wife have
pledged $50 million to help con-
tain it and for research on treat-
ments, rapid tests and vaccines.
Another Microsoft co-founder,
Paul Allen, has pledged $100 mil-
lion, and Facebook founder Mark
Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla
Chan, $25 million.
The global response to Ebola
initially stumbled and revealed
flaws in our health systems, Gates
said. Since then, some countries
and groups have helped, but much
more is needed, he said.
Were likely in the next several
decades to have an epidemic thats
more transmissible than this
Ebola epidemic, so bolstering
health systems in all countries and
ensuring investment in drugs and
vaccines is key, he said.

way, I think, of stripping away unnecessari-
ly harsh regulations to allow for the better-
ment of Belmont. And as a sort of side ben-
efit, if more people are able to remodel their
home, the tax base the city enjoys will
grow.
The City Council emphasized amending
its rules for single-family design reviews
when one wants to build or remodel their
home isnt intended to permit monster
developments on small lots, but to ease the
process for citizens who want to grow in
Belmont.
The bulk of requests city planners receive
are from individuals seeking to remodel or
construct homes, Senior Planner Damon
DiDonato said. Compared to other cities,
Belmonts Planning Commission frequent-
ly conducts single-family design reviews
for smaller projects, theres no objective
criteria for the review and the city has the
most stringent parking requirements,
DiDonato said.
One subcommittee suggestion was to cre-
ate a tiered system for single-family entitle-
ments in which simple requests are reviewed
by staff, more complex ones by a zoning
administrator and larger projects would go
before the Planning Commission. The
citys Community Development Director
Carlos de Melo said he currently serves as
the zoning administrator and, depending on
which route the council ultimately goes,
may need to hire a dedicated zoning admin-
istrator.
City staff, Reed and Stone noted they fre-
quently hear complaints from residents
about the citys onerous process for single-
family home development and several prop-
erty owners showed at Tuesdays meeting in
support of the discussion.
Scott Barton said he as his wife have lived
in Belmont for 11 years and moved into a
2, 600-square-foot home on an 8, 000-
square-foot lot. Barton said he wanted to
remodel to account for his growing family
but was frustrated to learn about the citys
hard cap on home size.
The rule says that a lot that is a third the
size of our lot could have the same size
house we have, Barton said. We love
Belmont, we love the community and the
schools, but this issue makes it really diffi-
cult and expensive and we think that this
idea (ordinance amendment). would pro-
vide more tax revenue for the city and make
it a better and easier place to live.
Stone said housing opportunities in the
area are growing scarce and the city needs to
ease the process for those who want to
expand their homes and plan for growing
children or elderly parents moving in.
We are in a housing crisis of epic propor-
tions and when we have these restrictive
ordinances that keep people from building
space, what were really doing is helping to
contribute to that housing crisis, Stone
said.
The discussion about updates to the citys
planning process for single-family homes
is still preliminary and the subcommittee
will continue to review current policies and
come up with recommendations.
But the council agreed the Planning
Commission will be better utilized working
on the citys comprehensive Belmont
Master Plan update and plans for creating a
downtown instead of getting bogged down
with reviewing a homeowners request to add
a bedroom.
We are embarking on an aggressive effort
towards developing downtown If there
are ways to streamline the Planning
Commission work so they can focus on
some of these very big issues that are com-
ing down so that they have the time, the
bandwidth to address those issues in a time-
ly manner and a single-family design review
can still be done at a staff level, Mayor
Warren Lieberman said. Thats probably a
very good thing because it means well be
making even better use of those volunteer-
ing, giving their time to serve the city on
the Planning Commission.

ZONING
said Sister Christina Heltsley, executive
director of St. Francis Center.
St. Francis Center provides food, cloth-
ing, education and other needs to low-
income residents of Redwood City and East
Menlo Park. The apartment building-style
Siena Youth Center offers a gym/recreation
center, sheriffs substation and activities
like sports and classes.
One such class is farm to table so a new
garden will be a perfect t, Heltsley said.
St. Francis has operated a 47-bed commu-
nity garden between Buckingham and
Devonshire avenues for 12 years, a bounty
of every kind of chili you can imagine,
cilantro and tomatoes, Heltsley said.
Its awesome, Heltsley said.
The families keep what they grow
although when the zucchini goes crazy the
center may receive the excess and many
already come equipped with knowledge
about crop rotation and garden infrastruc-
ture, she said.
The proposed second garden would give
the 12 families on the waiting list a chance
at a piece of earth while still setting aside
room for parking.
There is certainly a need for parking in the
area but the youth center isnt really the cul-
prit because its users bike, walk or get
dropped off. Most live within close proxim-
ity with the furthest out by eight miles. The
added 20 spaces, which have not existed
since the center opened in 2011, will actual-
ly improve the situation, according to
Acting Community Development Director
Steve Monowitz who is bringing the recom-
mendation to the supervisors Tuesday.
The county received no direct complaints
in the time the center was open without any
parking, according to Monowitz.
In a report to the board, Monowitz said
the revised plan will provide a vital open
space amenity for neighborhood in har-
mony with the surrounding residential
uses.
The densely developed neighborhood has
little options for park and recreation facili-
ties and the Dumbarton Oaks portion is par-
ticularly hampered to any recreation other
than the Siena Youth Center because of the
railroad and busy roads.
The existing garden at the St. Francis
Center is the only green space in North Fair
Oaks which Heltsley said is a source of
pride and shame.
Both the parking lot and garden area, sit-
ting on an area of 10, 770 square feet, will be
surrounded by a chain-link fence no more
than 6 feet with security gates. The entrance
will sit on Nottingham and Marlborough
avenues.
If approved, the plan requires the garden
to limit the use of pesticides and herbicides
but Heltsley said the existing garden already
doesnt use them. Users also compost after
they farm.
Its all a really, really cool thing, she
said.

GARDEN
By Brian Melley
MOJAVE The loss of an experimental
spaceship that broke up over the Mojave
Desert, killing one pilot and seriously injur-
ing another, has renewed criticism of the way
the crafts designer and Virgin Galactic han-
dled a deadly explosion seven years ago.
Space enthusiasts watching Virgin
Galactics race to send tourists on suborbital
flights have complained for years about a
2007 explosion that killed three people on
the ground and critically injured three others
during a ground test in the development of a
rocket engine for the same vehicle that
crashed Friday.
Now weve got another person killed,
another person seriously injured. So weve
got a lot that has hurt the industry, said
Geoff Daly, an engineer who has filed com-
plaints with several federal agencies over the
use of nitrous oxide to power the ships
engine.
SpaceShipTwo tore apart Friday after the
craft detached from the underside of its jet-
powered mothership and fired its rocket
engine for a test flight. Authorities have not
given any indication what caused the acci-
dent. National Transportation Safety Board
investigators were on the scene Sunday. The
agency could take up to a year to issue a final
report.
Daly was co-author of a critical report on
the 2007 incident at Scaled Composites, the
Northrop Grumman-owned designer of
SpaceShipTwo. The report was critical of
Virgins claims that nitrous oxide was safe to
use in engines for passenger flight, and it
complained that the public was never given a
full accounting of what happened.
Something is wrong here, Daly said
Sunday. We offered to talk, give our experi-
ence. It was either ignored or totally dis-
missed.
In a June 2013 letter, Daly asked the FAAto
put a hold on an experimental flight permit
for SpaceShipTwo to ensure the safety of per-
sonnel on the ground and in the spacecraft.
Remember, three people have been killed
and numerous persons injured by a prior
explosion involving (nitrous oxide) in this
motor design, he wrote as a member of a
group that he said numbered about 300 peo-
ple in the aerospace industry worldwide. We
do not need another incident on the
ground/flight line or in the air.
The FAAsaid it would look into his com-
plaint, according to memos posted online,
but Daly said no flights of SpaceShipTwo
were halted.
Carolynne Campbell, a co-author of the
report on the explosion, posted a statement
on her website after Fridays accident, saying
if the truth about the 2007 accident had
come out, the SpaceShipTwo disaster would
probably not have happened.
A report by the California Division of
Occupational Safety and Health said the 2007
blast occurred three seconds after the start of
a cold-flow test of nitrous oxide. The engine
was not firing during the test at the Mojave
Air and Space Port.
Whether nitrous oxide had anything to do
with Fridays disaster remains to be seen.
The nitrous oxide is used with fuel to pro-
vide propulsion. Engineers had recently
changed the fuel system, switching from a
rubber-based fuel to one that used plastics.
The new fuel had been tested on the ground
but not in flight until Friday.
During the investigation, Virgin and
Scaled Composites are barred from making
any comments about the accident.
I find it slightly irresponsible that peo-
ple who know nothing about what theyre
saying can be saying things before the
NTSB makes their comments, billionaire
Richard Branson, Virgins founder, said
Saturday.

California except, I think, Riverside
that had actual on-the-air stations.
When Mont gomery, Wi ens and
Odum commenced classes in August
of 1964, the purpose of KCSM was
educational. The majority of the pro-
gramming was student-produced. It
was such a novelty that the CSM
bookstore had to sell tuners so that
people could watch the television
st at i on. The broadcast provi ded
invaluable opportunities for the stu-
dent s t o l earn professi onal -l evel
skills before entering the job mar-
ket.
Knowi ng t hat t heres someone
fi ve mi l es away wat chi ng what
youre doing or listening to what
youre playing puts a pressure on you
thats very real, Odum said. I want-
ed them to be totally prepared when
they walked out of here, and that
worked extremely well. The KCBS
chief engineer said to me, if you have
any student who goes through your
program that is good and you want to
send them out into the industry you
call me first because they come in
knowing what to do.
Things began to change in the late
70s. Less and less television pro-
gramming was coming from the stu-
dents and more was being sourced
from Ameri can publ i c t el evi si on
providers as the studio vied for larger
audience appeal. These days KCSM
television broadcasts only a handful
of student-produced programs each
semester. The radio station continues
to pump out jazz standards, but no
longer are amateurs behind the mic or
the switchboard. Students are invited
to observe the operations of both
studios, and to use the facilities and
equipment for classes, but are not
involved in the day-to-day activi-
ties.
As far as I understand, the broad-
cast program and the academic broad-
cast courses are t ot al l y separat e
other than weve had lots of wonder-
ful support from the broadcast engi-
neers, said Michelle Brown, associ-
ate professor of broadcast and elec-
tronic media at CSM.
CSM still prides itself on having a
top-level broadcast school, despite
students not having that real-world
experience of running a studio.
San Francisco State has a nation-
al l y reput abl e program and t hey
dont have a TV license, so its cer-
t ai nl y not unusual at al l , Brown
said.
Still, the studio experience that the
students received in KCSMs early
days was a uni quel y successful
endeavor.
If you take a good 10, 000-foot
view of it to see the people that are
out there employed right now (from
CSMs broadcasting school) thats
the magic of it, said Chris Phillips,
KCSM radio engineer, who graduated
from CSM in 1977. There were a lot
of places that if you just said KCSM
you were ahead of the game in the
employment opportunities.
The studio broadcasts may not be
necessary for t he success of t he
school, but when Odum and Weins
fi rst t hrew t he swi t ch and st art ed
transmitting in October 1964, it got
a lot of young students fired up about
broadcasting, and those students are
now inspiring the next generation
with their work.
Matt Elmore has been the voice for
al l t hi ngs KQED si nce 1987, 10
years after he graduated from CSMs
broadcasting school.
Jon Miller, Baseball Hall of Fame
honoree and play-by-play announcer
for the San Francisco Giants graduat-
ed from CSM in 1971 after cutting
his teeth announcing college sports.
He was 17 years old when showed
up at the beginning of one of my
classes, Odum said. I dont know
how he got in because he wasnt out
of high school yet, but he knew that
we had a radio station on the air and
that we were going to be doing foot-
ball and he just wanted to do play by
play, and I had the pleasure of being
the first person to put (Miller) on the
air.
Though KCSM TV is still looking
for a stay of execution, and the radio
station is still very much alive, the
glory days of KCSM may in fact be
gone. As the connection between the
station and the curriculum fades, and
the auction of the frequency looms,
the story of KCSM TV will soon be
relegated to the shelves of history
like so many program reels in the
library basement.
If the station wishes to stay alive,
it may need to take one more lesson
from Odums book of broadcasting.
Its a job. Its hard work, Odum
said. Youve got to learn a lot and
youve got to know a lot and youve
got to be willing to, at times, sacri-
fice. We always used the adage you
save the show. Whatever happens,
save the show.

agreement concerning handling of
Bairds personnel file.
Myself and our association, were
really disappointed the district wont
accept the decision, Baird said. We
feel theyre wasting more taxpayer
money.
Baird has been vocal in his criti-
ci sms of Superi nt endent Jan
Christensen and the administration
i n regard t o school cl i mat e and
teacher labor negotiations.
The district alleges Baird did not
get along with site administrators or
colleagues and was somewhat diffi-
cult to work with. There is also a
strong public policy favoring the
district s authority to control, man-
age, direct and transfer its employees
such that through the award the arbi-
t rat or st ri ps t he di st ri ct of t hi s
authority and neglects to consider
that such authority is also expressed
in the agreement. Bairds repeated
pat t ern, t hroughout t he 2012-13
school year, of failing to adequately
supervi se st udent s, not fol l owi ng
directives and not working well with
administrators and colleagues pro-
vided the district sufficient just cause
to involuntarily transfer him, the dis-
trict stated in its appeal.
On or about Aug. 13, 2013, the dis-
t ri ct deni ed Bai rds gri evance. On
March 7, 2014, and April 10, 2014,
an arbitration hearing was held by
arbitrator Alexander Cohn regarding
Bairds grievance. Cohns July 24,
2014, opinion found the district must
show cause as i t i s t radi t i onal l y
understood for discipline to involun-
tarily transfer Baird under the just
cause language of the agreement. The
arbitrator also found that the just
cause standard favors progressive dis-
ci pl i ne and Bai rd s i nvol unt ary
transfer was inconsistent with pro-
gressive discipline. The ruling stat-
ed, as soon as pract i cal , Bai rds
involuntary transfer shall be rescind-
ed and he shall be restored to his prior
teaching position at Kennedy Middle
School without loss of wages of ben-
efits, including seniority.
Baird currently remains at Clifford.
The Redwood Ci t y El ement ary
School District cannot comment at
this time as this is the subject of
pendi ng l i t i gat i on, El i ana Garc a,
administrative assistant to the super-
intendent and communications spe-
cialist, wrote in an email.
There will be a hearing on the arbi-
tration award 9 a. m. Jan. 21, 2015.

DILBERT CROSSWORD PUZZLE
HOLY MOLE
PEARLS BEFORE SWINE
GET FUZZY
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2014
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Resist the urge to are
up in the heat of the moment. Jealousy will cause you
to judge a situation in the wrong light. Dont look for
problems where none exist.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) A demanding
family member may not be aware of your situation.
Express your feelings and take a moment to re-
evaluate your position. Resentment will ensue if you
arent open and forthcoming.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have several
choices to make, but before you take a leap of
faith, ensure that you have all the information
needed to make the right decision. Turning back
wont be an option.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Dont let lethargy
drag you down. Spark your enthusiasm by taking a
trip or educational course, or beginning a creative
project. The longer you sit, the harder it will be to
get motivated.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Look for people who
share your interests. There is no shortage of groups
you can investigate. Find something that appeals to
you and make a point to get involved.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Problems will surface
if nancial matters are not handled properly. Gather
the relevant parties in your household and allocate
who is responsible for what.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Give your morale a
boost. A trip to a flea market or local shopping area
will help to break up the routine and reduce your
stress level.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) If you spend extra time
at work, make sure you clear it with someone who
counts on your assistance. You will face unwanted
demands if you dont use your time wisely.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Keep your priorities in
order. You have a creative project to work on, but make
sure you take care of your primary responsibilities rst
to avoid interference once you start it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You should make time for
family today. If you have been too caught up with your
own needs, someone you love will feel left out. A day
trip will help bring you closer together.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Rely on the help of
friends and relatives to help you complete everything
on your to-do list. The feeling of accomplishment
will make you realize the importance of your
relationships with others.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) You will discover
some unsettling news. Dont judge or criticize
before checking out the source of the information to
determine if whats being said is fact or ction.

WORLD 31
By Qassim Abdul-Zahra
and Sameer N. Yacoub
BAGHDAD Islamic State
group extremists lined up and shot
dead at least 50 Iraqi men, women
and children from the same tribe
on Sunday, officials said, in the
latest targeting of the group by
militants.
The killings, all committed in
public, raise the death toll suffered
by the Sunni Al Bu Nimr tribe in
recent days to some 150, suggest-
ing IS fighters now view them as a
threat. Some Sunnis in the
volatile province had previously
supported the local expansion of
IS and other militants in
December.
Meanwhile, separate attacks
around Baghdad killed at least 19
people, authorities said.
Sundays attack on the Sunni
tribe took place in the village of
Ras al-Maa, north of Ramadi, the
provincial capital. There, the mil-
itant group killed at least 40 men,
six women and four children, lin-
ing them up and shooting them
one by one, senior tribesman
Sheikh Naim al-Gaoud told The
Associated Press. The militants
also kidnapped another 17 peo-
ple, he said.
An official with the Anbar gov-
ernors office corroborated the
tribesmans account. He spoke
on condition of anonymity as he
was not authorized to brief jour-
nalists.
Late Friday, IS fighters killed 50
members of the tribe, a day after
killing 48 of them, according to
various officials who have spoken
to the AP.
IS militants have overrun a large
part of Anbar province in a push to
expand their territory across Iraq
and Syria. Officials with the Iraqi
government, as well as officials
with the U. S. -led coalition target-
ing the extremists, repeatedly
have said that Iraqi tribes are key
elements in the fight against IS
since they are able to penetrate
areas inaccessible to airstrikes
and ground forces.
However, some Sunni s i n
Anbar support ed t he mi l i t ant s
when they seized Fallujah and
part s of Ramadi i n December.
That came aft er wi despread
Sunni s prot est s agai nst t he
Shi i t e-l ed government i n
Baghdad for what they described
as second-class treatment.
Since the Islamic State groups
major offensive in Iraq, a number
of Iraqs Sunni tribes have been
fundamental in stalling its
advance, taking up arms and fight-
ing alongside Iraqi security
forces.

By Diaa Hadid
TARTOUS, Syria Syrian businessmen start from scratch
after their shops and factories were destroyed. Families who
lost their homes struggle to rent new dwellings and make
ends meet. Along highways stretching through government-
controlled areas are the bombed ruins of once-rebellious
towns, now dotted with checkpoints.
Government-controlled Syria is truncated in size, battered
and impoverished. But it carries on, underscoring how
Syrian President Bashar Assads government has clung to
power, despite an armed rebellion to uproot him, now well
into its fourth year.
Visits the past week to the capital, Damascus, and the
coastal region of Tartous, a stronghold of government sup-
port, show how Syrians have adjusted to life in this reduced
country. Thick barriers surround government buildings,
painted in the red, black and white of the Syrian flag. Assads
portrait is everywhere: as a soldier, a businessman and a
father.
After years of brutal back and forth, the government rules
over Damascus and a sweep of territory west to the
Mediterranean coastal region that includes Syrias biggest
cities, along with some parts south of the capital. Rebels
hold some suburbs in the countryside around Damascus and
parts of the northwest. The extremist Islamic State group has
imposed its rule over territory encompassing a third of both
Syria and neighboring Iraq.
The war constantly intrudes. The persistent thud of bomb-
ings of nearby rebel-held areas is the soundtrack of
Damascus.
Checkpoints dot roads, often concrete shacks spruced up
with posters of Assad cut into heart shapes. Soldiers rest on
faded couches.
Got any cigarettes, sir? one soldier hopefully asks a
driver.
Local pro-government militias also guard towns and
neighborhoods, aiding Assads stretched army.
Mustachioed men with assault rifles peer into cars at the
entrance of the historic Bab Touma area of Damascus. The
majority Christian district is a favorite target for mortars
from the nearby rebel-held neighborhood of Jobar. Anti-
Assad activists accuse some pro-government militias of
being more brutal than soldiers, and say they demand bribes
and steal cars.
Leaving Damascus, the highway is well-paved, including a
strip of freshly asphalted road. Nearby stands part of the
smashed remains of the town of Nabak, whose residents
rebelled against Assad early in the uprising. The yellow
Ferris wheel in Nabaks amusement park is faded.
Graffiti nearby reads Assad for eternity. Another reads: I
love you Lulu.
Its unclear how many Syrians live in rebel- and govern-
ment-controlled areas, given the demographic upheaval in a
country where nearly half of the population has fled their
homes. Areas once dominated by Assad-loyal minorities,
like the Alawite-dominated coastal region of Tartous, have
seen their communities change character as they host some
350, 000 displaced people, mostly Sunni Muslims.
That ultimately will have a longer-term effect: It will be
difficult for Assads government to carve out an Alawite bas-
tion, as some critics suggest he is doing - and which gov-
ernment officials deny.
It also highlights the fact that Sunnis, who form the coun-
trys majority faith group, form Assads chief power base,
even as the rebellion is dominated by Sunnis. Minorities,
like the Alawites, Shiites and Christians, mostly support the
government or have remained neutral.

battered but defiant

May be to Blame for Pain
in Your Back and Neck

Did you know that 30 million Americans suffer
from back and neck pain every day? Sciatica
and herniated discs are often misunderstood.
They can cause pain and numbness in the
back, neck, legs, and feet. This pain affects
everything that you do, from work to play, and
ultimately your quality of life. We are here to
tell you that there is hope. We have the tech-
nology and experience to help you nd relief
from sciatica and back pain. At Bay Area Disc
Centers, we have helped thousands of pain
sufferers just like you. We offer only the most
advanced non-surgical treatments.
Are pain pills effective, long-term solutions
when dealing with Sciatica and Back Pain?
ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Until now, people have masked their pain by
frequently taking prescription pain pills. This
type of pain relief is temporary. Often these
treatments lead to even more health problems
or worse yet addiction. Many people inno-
cently fall into abusing prescription pain pills
while initially using them to alleviate real,
constant pain.
Is Surgery the Answer?
It is true that surgery may be the answer for
certain types of back injuries. When consider-
ing your options, ask yourself this question
If there is a solution to back pain that doesnt
require surgery, is it worth exploring?
The Solution: TDC
TM
Therapy
TDC Therapy Traction Decompression Com-
bined Therapy is a proven treatment exclu-
sive to Disc Centers of America doctors for the
relief of neck and lower back pain. By utilizing
traction thats isolated to the spinal segment
involved, the purpose is to create spinal
decompression as a result to specic traction.
TDC Therapy offers a signicant success rate
and patients have experienced dramatic pain
relief and healing. This nonsurgical solution is
changing the way doctors treat severe disc
conditions. TDC Therapy is a unique and
innovative approach for the relief of neck and
lower back syndromes, including:
herniated or bulging discs
egenerative disc disease
Fosterior facet syndroue
Spinal Stenosis
Sciatica
TDC Therapy is nonsurgical and
noninvasive. It is a gentle form of traction and
disc decompression. The treatment is not only
safe, but also comfortable and relaxing. The
goal is symptomatic relief and structural
correction.
How Does TDC
TM
Therapy Work?
TDC Therapy can isolate a specic vertebra
and distract the vertebrae surrounding an
injured disc 5 to 7 millimeters. TDC Therapy
treatment isolates the specic vertebrae that
are causing the pain. The 25to30minute
treatment provides static, intermittent, and
cycling forces on structures that may be
causing back pain. Negative pressure
promotes the diffusion of water, oxygen, and
nutrients into the vertebral disc area, thereby
rehydrating the degenerated disc. Repeated
pressure differential promotes retraction of a
herniated nucleus pulposus. The TDC Therapy
treatment works to reduce pressure on the
vertebral joints, promote retraction of herni-
ated discs, and promote selfhealing and
rehabilitation of damaged discs, thereby
relieving neck or lower back pain.
