BUSTER POSEY HAS AN MVP PRIZE TO PUT ALONGSIDE HIS SECOND WORLD
SERIES RING
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A lawsuit seeking to change San
Mateo County to district elections
for supervisor seats is still a go even
though voters solidly agreed last
week to switch from the current
countywide system.
Backers of the six residents who
sued called the Nov. 6 victory of
Measure B a very positive develop-
ment but say a judges ruling is still
desired to conrm the county violat-
ed the California Voters Rights Act
with the existing elections method
and order the county to create a new
district-based method.
But going ahead is a moot point,
said attorney Jim Wagstaffe who
represents the county in this matter.
The electorate has decided the
issue and a judge doesnt need to.
The county sent it to the voters to
get the publics view on it and they
spoke through the election,
Wagstaffe said.
Wagstaffe does not believe a
judge must establish or reafrm dis-
trict lines and plans to le a motion
within weeks asking for the cases
dismissal.
The lawsuit and in essence
Measure B aimed at changing the
countys current system in which
board members must live in the spe-
cic district they represent but are
chosen by voters countywide.
Opponents argued this favors
incumbents and causes a fundrais-
ing burden for candidates who must
throw their net wider for money and
votes. Supporters said countywide
voters should be able to weigh in on
elected officials who represent
every resident.
The lawsuit also contended the
existing method was unfair to

at the start of
2012 but stayed
on through this
year while the council searched for a
replacement. Goldman, 44, current-

Under the proposed contract,
Goldman will receive an annual
salary of $214,000.
Mayor Jerry Deal described
Goldman as extremely intelligent;
a go-getter who will work well with

Goldman was interested in
Burlingame because of the citys
size and active engagement. She
noted its a well-run city. Goldman

7-Eleven: Whats in store
San Mateo City Council moves to hold extended hearings

SACRAMENTO With super-
majorities in both houses of the
state Legislature, Democrats have a
historic opportunity to push their
agenda on issues such as tax reform,
workers rights and changing the
initiative process.
They could reach too far, though,
if they cant restrain the impulses of
their most liberal members, leading
to actions that will turn off middle-
of-the-road voters. One of the key
political dramas of the coming year
will be how legislative leaders and
Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown walk
that line.
We all recognize that we have to
use this new power wisely, and we
cant overplay it, Senate President
Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg said in an
interview Thursday. On the other
hand ... we also dont want to under-
utilize the chance we have to con-
Supermajority holds promise, peril for Democrats
Lisa Goldman
See SUIT, Page 27
Democrats will have 54 seats in the Assembly
when the Legislature convenes in December, just
reaching the two-thirds threshold in the 80-
member chamber.
Democrats needed 27 seats in the 40-member
Senate for a supermajority, but won at least 28
with the Central Valleys 5th Senate District still
undecided.
A supermajority allows the ruling party to
approve tax increases, pass emergency
legislation, override gubernatorial vetoes and
change house rules without votes from the other
party.
This marks the rst time either party has gained
a supermajority in either chamber since
California voters passed Proposition 13 in 1978.
The initiative raised the legislative vote threshold
to pass tax increases to two-thirds.
A single party last held supermajorities in both
chambers in 1933, when Republicans did it.
Democrats last held simultaneous
supermajorities in both chambers in 1883.
The last Assembly supermajority was in 1978,
when it was held by Democrats.
The last Senate supermajority was in 1965,when
it was held by Democrats.
Republicans have not held an Assembly
supermajority since 1933.
Republicans last held a Senate supermajority
in 1953, according to the secretary of the Senate.

7-Eleven wont die at least not
when it comes to the city of San
Mateo trying to determine whether
to allow it to operate on a piece of
land zoned residential.
With the store opening soon and
construction nearly complete, the
City Council voted last night to ini-
tiate a hearing to determine if the
market use at 501 N. San Mateo
Drive is a legal non-conforming use
in accordance with city code.
The hearing will be quasi-judicial
and attorneys for the property
owner, 7-Eleven and San Mateo
Heights Neighborhood Association
will be able to subpeona witnesses
to help the council decide whether it
ultimately wants to terminate the
market use for the site and return it
back to residential use.
Under city code, all parties will
once again have to face the citys
Planning Commission, which previ-
ously gave 7-Eleven a chilly recep-
tion and voted to recommend to the
council to terminate the market use
at the site because it would be espe-

Mitchell back in court next week before
she decides what to do with his trafck-

Selling a television station hasnt
been easy, but the San Mateo
County Community College District
is willing to give it one more try.
After struggling for years to elimi-
nate the $1 million operating decit
for KCSM-TV, the college district
decided to sell the station late last
year. Six bids were received by Feb.
14. Negotiations with the two
responsive highest bidders have yet
to be successful. As a result, the
board rejected all bids in October.
On Wednesday, the board decided to
give it a go one more time. This time,
the bid process has a new twist.
The Federal Communications
Commission is considering changing
how such a station could be used by
wireless mobile operators, explained
board President Dave Mandelkern.
Such a change could also allow for
the station to be auctioned off, possi-
bly bringing in more than the most
recent bids. With that in mind, the
request for proposals allows people
to be creative in their bids, he said.
For example, a company could offer
to cover the $1 million operating
decit to keep the station running
until the auction was possible. Then,
due to the investment, they could get
a percentage of the sale. Mandelkern
said the board is open to all ideas.
The goal of the board, he said, isnt
simply to sell the station but to make
the best decision.
The move to sell the station came
last year after nearly two years of
struggling to cut the programs $1
million operating decit. Of the six
bids received, the district moved
forward with negotiations with FM
Media TV, Inc. and San Mateo
County TV Corporation. Each
answered clarifying questions and
started conversations with the dis-
trict for the best and nal offer,
according to a staff report prepared
by Jan Roecks, interim dean of busi-
ness, workforce and athletics at
Caada College. However, the dis-
trict was unable to reach agreements
with either party. The new process
will start in early December with
the hope of getting bids in early to
mid February, Mandelkern said.
KCSM-TV began operating in
1964 at its current location at the
College of San Mateo. The non-
commercial station broadcasts a
variety of programs including televi-
sion courses, the numbers for which
have dropped in recent years in favor
of online classes. Broadcasting, as a
program, was on hiatus for a couple
of years but returned more than a
year ago with all new digital gear.
At the same meeting, the board
voted to open a 90-day comment
period on proposed boundaries. The
district boundaries are part of a larg-
er conversation about how district
representatives are elected.
Board members of the San Mateo
County Community College
District, which includes three col-
leges and serves more than 40,000
students annually, are currently
elected by voters countywide.
Previously, the district was advised
by the state chancellors to look at
the way local elections are set up.
Trustees for the five-member
board are not required to live within
a certain geographic area or district.
The differences in the two systems
are primarily how many voters a
candidate needs to convince and
how much money it will cost to run.
At-large elections ask voters to
choose board members to represent
the entire county instead of just the
district from which they are elected.
Proponents argue this makes mem-
bers more accountable to all voters
and limits factions on the board.
Opponents, however, say the system
tends to be more expensive because
of the countywide campaigning
required.
A change could happen as soon as
November 2013. Using that time-
line, current trustees would nish
out their terms but those with terms
ending in 2013 would need to live
within the new districts to seek re-
election.
The map will be available on the
districts website, www.smccd.edu.
Comments can also be submitted
online.
College once again looking for TV station buyers
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The city of San Carlos continues
not letting the state dissolution of
redevelopment agencies stymie its
hope for the eventual development of
several downtown properties into one
mixed-use project known as Wheeler
Plaza.
The City Council has already certi-
ed the nal environmental impact
review. On Monday night, the
Planning Commission will discuss if
the project conforms with the citys
general plan and, if so, recommend
the City Council follow suit. Neither
move kick starts development into
immediate motion but will position it
for the eventuality.
Its yet another step down the
path, said Assistant City Manager
Brian Moura.
The proposed project by developer
Silverstone Communities concerns
the parking lot behind Laurel Street
and San Carlos Avenue, fronting
Walnut Street, and several city-
owned buildings along San Carlos
Avenue and Laurel Street. One is a
six-unit rental housing building and
another the former Foodville Market.
The entire space is approximately
2.65 acres, sitting roughly 300 feet
southwest of the Caltrain station, two
blocks from City Hall and straddling
areas of both retail and multi-family
housing.
Right now, the project is split into
three components: the Wheeler Plaza
mixed-use plan to replace the parking
lot and retail with 9,855 square feet
of commercial space and 108 resi-
dential units above a three-level park-
ing garage; the Laurel Street com-
mercial and plaza component which
includes the public space and a two-
story 4,500-square-foot building for
restaurant and ofce space; and the
Cherry Street affordable housing
component which would include a
31-unit building.
The problem is that several of the
city plots were owned by the now-
defunct RDA. The question is if the
oversight board of the successor
agencies agrees that the land is a bet-
ter benet to the city as part of the
bigger Wheeler Plaza project. The
developer could still go ahead with a
smaller project but it might not deliv-
er the same payoff, Moura said.
A disposition and development
agreement is being prepared for con-
sideration by the City Council at its
Jan. 14 meeting. The agreement will
call for the city transferring ve
parcels to Silverstone Properties for
development. At the end, the compa-
ny will transfer to the city the public
parking garage, the reciprocal ease-
ment agreement for cars and pedes-
trians through the site and vacant
property on Laurel Street for use as
an outdoor public plaza.
The Planning Commission on
Monday is asked to nd that the idea
is in line with the general plans
guidelines for density and goals for
economic vitality and public parking.
The idea for Wheeler Plaza dates
back to the late 1990s when the rede-
velopment agency envisioned a park-
ing structure with 60 residential units
and 120 bedrooms. In November
2010, the RDA paid $2.8 million for
the 7,400-square-foot former
Foodville parcel at 1245 San Carlos
Ave. adjacent to the Wheeler Plaza
parking lot to expand the projects
dimensions.
The San Carlos Planning
Commission meets 7 p.m. Monday,
Nov. 19 at City Hall, 600 Elm St., San
Carlos.

A suspicious smell similar to nat-
ural gas in Half Moon Bay yester-
day morning prompted numerous
calls to both Pacic Gas and Electric
and police but it turned out to be
the Soil Farm turning its compost,
according to the Sheriffs Ofce.
At approximately 8 a.m., the
smell resembling a gas leak lled
the streets prompting the calls.
Several residents were told by
PG&E to evacuate their homes as a
precautionary measure and the
Sheriffs Office determined the
smell came from the Soil Farm at
2119 Cabrillo Highway south of the
city, said sheriffs spokeswoman
Rebecca Rosenblatt.
The pungent odor that lled the
streets resembled the smell of gas,
as manure is known to produce
methane.
The Soil Farm turns its compost
yearly, leaving residents to question
why they werent previously

compost is turned multiple times a

PG&E received more calls than
the Sheriffs Ofce did, with most
of the callers requesting their homes
to be checked for gas leaks. Once
PG&E has documented calls con-

gate. PG&E dispatched at least ve
representatives, each checking mul-
tiple houses.
This is the rst time the Sheriffs
Ofce had encountered such con-
cern by a manure maneuver and
assured 911 callers not to be
alarmed as it didnt turn into a
health or safety issue, Rosenblatt
said.
However, even the Sheriffs

Compost causes gas leak scare

WASHINGTON Top national
security ofcials trudged to Capitol
Hill on Thursday to grapple with fall-
out from the David Petraeus sex scan-
dal as Defense Secretary Leon
Panetta asked service chiefs to review
ethics training for military ofcers.
He said he was unaware of any other
top brass who could turn out to be
ensnared in the debacle.
One person missing from the
tableau: Afghan war chief Gen.
John Allen, whose nomination to
take over in Europe is on hold
because of suggestive emails
turned up in the investigation.
Legislators went forward with a
hearing on the nomination of Gen.
Joseph Dunford to replace Allen in
Afghanistan. But with Allens own
future uncertain, they put off consid-
eration of his promotion to U.S.
European Command chief and NATO
supreme allied commander. Allen
had initially been scheduled to testify.
Panetta, speaking at a news confer-
ence in Bangkok, gave new words of
support to Allen, voicing tremen-
dous condence in the general.
Citing a string of ethical lapses
by senior military officers, howev-
er, Panetta asked the Joint Chiefs
of Staff to review ethics training
and look for ways to help officers
stay out of trouble.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.,
opened Dunfords hearing with kind
words for Allen, saying, I continue
to believe that General Allen is one of
our best military leaders. And I con-
tinue to have condence in his ability
to lead the war in Afghanistan.
Leading administration ofcials,
meanwhile, met privately with law-
makers for a third straight day to
explain how the Petraeus investiga-
tion was handled and explore its
national security implications.

Plastic bags are now recyclable in the county
but not at the curbside. Instead, they can be
dropped off for free at the Shoreway
Environmental Center in San Carlos,
RethinkWaste announced yesterday.
Referred to a lm plastic, the types of
accepted plastic bags include grocery, dry
cleaning, produce, bread and frozen food bags
or any type of plastic bag that stretches when
pulled, according to RethinkWaste, a joint pow-
ers authority comprised of most cities in the
county that owns the Shoreway facility.
The bags and shrink wrap must be clean and
empty, with no food inside.
The bags are being accepted after the coun-
tys Board of Supervisors voted recently to
phase out the use of plastic bags by retailers in
unincorporated areas of the county by April
2013. The board is urging all cities in the coun-
ty to adopt the countys ordinance and some
already have.
Shoreway started accepting the bags for recy-
cling yesterday on America Recycles Day.
We are excited to offer this new recycling
service for a difcult-to-handle item that is now
so commonplace in the waste stream, Kevin
McCarthy, executive director at RethinkWaste
wrote in a statement. We also continue to sup-
port our member agencies efforts and other
public policy efforts to limit the use of plastic
bags and support reusable bags and other more
sustainable forms of packaging.
Shoreways public recycling center also
accepts a number of other items for recycling
and also includes a buy-back area for bottles
and cans.
There is also a purchase program for clean
cardboard from customers with large volumes.
A minimum of 300 pounds of clean cardboard
is required for payment, according to
RethinkWaste.
The center also accepts used motor oil, cook-
ing oil, latex paint, electronics and a host of
other items.
The county Board of Supervisors, recogniz-
ing that plastic bags are a regional problem
since they clog creeks and streams, also
approved an Environmental Impact Report that
can be used by 24 Peninsula cities in adopting
their own ordinances. The report found that a
staggering 552 million plastic bags are used
annually in the 24 cities and the unincorporated
area of San Mateo County.
Plastic bags are not accepted at the curbside
because of issues they create operationally, said
RethinkWaste spokeswoman Monica
Devincenzi.
By keeping them separate like this in a
drop-off program, then they stay clean and can
be recycled, Devincenzi wrote the Daily
Journal in an email.
Shoreways recycling center is open
Mondays through Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to
4 p.m. It can be accessed through Gate 1 at
Shoreway, located at 333 Shoreway Road, San
Carlos.

Plastic bags now recyclable

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
An appointment will be made to ll the
expected vacancy to the South San Francisco
City Council but how long that person will serve
is not yet known.
Last week, Kevin Mullin was elected to rep-
resent the 22nd Assembly District. Once he
leaves to take the new seat in December, the
council will need to ll the opening. Mullin rst
joined the council in 2007 and was re-elected in
2011. When he leaves the council, there will still
be nearly three years left in his term.
There are a few options before the council:
Appoint someone to ll the remainder of the
term, through 2015; appoint someone until the
next regular election in 2013; or, hold a special
election. On Wednesday, the council decided to
appoint but not for how long.
Applications for the appointment will hope-
fully become available today at City Hall and on
the citys website, according to the city clerks
ofce. The council will take up the conversation
again Dec. 12. Still to be decided is how long
the person appointed will serve, said Mayor
Rich Garbarino.
At the same meeting, the council heard results
of an impact study from the opening of a super-
store that sells groceries east of Highway 101.
Rumors that Walmart is interested in moving
into South San Francisco at the Lowes location
east of Highway 101 sparked the City Council
to request an impact analysis. While there is no
proof that such a plan is in place, the councils
focus was on whether groceries should be sold
in the area.
Opening a superstore that includes groceries
could create an average sales decline of 5 per-
cent to 9 percent from existing stores in South
San Francisco, according to the analysis com-
pleted by Seifel Consulting. The greatest impact
would be to businesses within a two-mile radius
of any new store.
Taking the possible impacts in mind, the
council directed staff to prepare a moratorium
removing all grocery use from the area east of
Highway 101, said Garbarino.

more red ink in 2013, capping a

Sept. 30 were more than triple the
$5.1 billion loss in the previous year.

BPs $4.5 billion settlement of
federal criminal charges announced
Thursday is a record amount, and a
signicant sum of money.
Or, looked at another way, its less
than the $5.5 billion in prot the
British oil giant made between June
and September of this year.
BP is not fully past the Deepwater
Horizon disaster, the 2010 explo-
sion that killed 11 workers and led
to the largest oil spill in U.S. histo-
ry. The company has so far set aside
$42 billion to pay nes and dam-
ages resulting from the spill, and
that amount may yet grow.
But the company is steadily
resolving the spills legal issues and
has nearly met its target for asset
sales to help pay for the spills costs.
In the process, BP PLC has
reshaped itself into a somewhat
smaller company but one thats
still a large and protable force in
the oil industry.
The danger is not over,
Christine Tiscareno an analyst at
S&P Capital IQ in London. But
they are now a step closer to mov-
ing beyond the disaster.

picking the right health insurance is
becoming more like hunting for the
perfect business suit: It takes some
shopping around to nd a good t

In a major shift in employer-spon-

are giving employees a fixed

Karen Kline, a San Carlos mom original-
ly from New Jersey, was quick to nd ways
to help her community back home after
Superstorm Sandy.
She sent out an email to her friends in the
Bay Area, asking for items such as clothing
and toys to send back to a friend on the
Jersey Shore. Every day, she would take
these boxes to FedEx, and ship them to a
friend who personally delivered these items
to the Toms River community, which was
badly hit.
In addition, her sons, Casey and Brady,
along some friends, Jake diTargiani, Jack
Pedrotti, Joey Scatena, Jasmine Oda,
Carly Ramirez, Tali Beres and Jack
Rosenberg started selling lemonade in front
of their home. The sales went on for ve
days, and the boys raised more than $800.
Kline has been getting gift cards for the
families to use for whatever they needed.
The generous people of San Carlos were
very quick to respond to lemonade sales,
and often times, paying more for their cups
of lemonade.
Many children lost their backpacks for
school in the ood so the community is in
great need of these. If anyone wants to help,

family (Development Conict
Alleged from the Nov. 14 edition of

today repeat bad things about others
that they dont even know just because
people have succeeded. I have worked
with Mr. Fang on my friends campaign
for San Francisco sheriff and he is one
of the nest gentlemen Ive ever met. I
know he lays all his cards on the table.
And yes, Im a darn good judge of

It takes two to tango

Why is it that in most cases of mari-
tal indelity, the male is assumed to be
the nasty seducer? General Petraeus has
served admirably on assignments to
dangerous and uncomfortable locations
for long periods of time away from his
family.
It seems to me that the seducer in
this case was an aggressive woman
who used her feminine wiles to gain
the condence and the attention of the
general so that she could personally
benet by writing a book, and gaining
the wealth and notoriety that she seems
to covet.

Raising awareness for COPD
Editor,
It is the third leading cause of death
in the United States, yet half of the 24
million Americans aficted with it have
likely never even heard of it.
Chronic Obstruction Pulmonary
Disease, or COPD, is a collection of
lung conditions and it causes patients to
experience shortness of breath, a chron-
ic cough and excessive phlegm and
wheezing. These symptoms are often
mistaken for simple signs of aging. The
lack of awareness makes COPD a life-
threatening ailment for roughly one in
ve Americans over 45.
This November, the California
Medical Association (CMA)
Foundation and the National Heart,
Lung and Blood Institute are working
to spread the word about this disease
through COPD Awareness Month.
If you or someone you know has
experienced any of the conditions
above, please consult your health care
provider and ask about simple lung
tests to diagnose COPD. While existing
lung damage caused by COPD cannot
be undone, early detection and treat-
ment can enable those affected by the
disease to minimize their symptoms
and live a normal life.
Dont let a serious condition such as
COPD slide by unnoticed. Visit the
CMA Foundation website,
www.cmafoundation.org, to learn more
about this terrible disease.

Letters to the editor
By Art Kiesel
T
he 2012 election season has
nally reached a conclusion,
but not without a level of ongo-
ing confusion. I recall learning about
government and representation in
school but, with the current election, I
have to step back. Were you aware that
San Mateo County has the luxury of
being represented by not one, but two
state senators for perhaps the next two
years?
The intention of redistricting is to
look at the population demographics
and balance the number of citizens with
equal representation. The process of
redistricting occurs every 10 years to
coincide with the census and in the past
was done by the California Legislature.
However, more often than not, the
Legislature redrew district lines that
had self-serving interests.
In 2008, California voters passed
Proposition 11 which authorized the
creation of a 14-member California
Citizens Redistricting Commission that
would have the responsibility for draw-
ing district boundaries for the 120 leg-
islative districts and four Board of
Equalization districts.
In 2010, a U.S. Congressional
Redistricting Initiative (Proposition 20)
was passed by the voters that added the
responsibility of redrawing Californias
congressional districts to the California
Citizens Redistricting Commission cre-
ated by Proposition
11. That year also
saw Proposition 27
placed before the
voters. It was an
effort to repeal
Proposition 11, but
failed at the polls.
In January of
2012, the California
Supreme Court ruled that the California
Citizens Redistricting Commissions
state Senate maps would be used in all
2012 elections unless overturned at a
later date. In the meantime, another
attempt to overturn the state Senate dis-
tricting maps, Proposition 40, was
placed on the recent November ballot
and it too failed by greater than a 2-1
margin.
So, now we look at the musical
chairs of the state Senate candidates
and the available districts. State Sen.
Leland Yee was elected in 2012 to serve
a four-year term in District Eight repre-
senting the western half of San
Francisco and most of us in San Mateo
County.
As a result of the redistricting, San
Mateo County nds itself in the 13th
Senate district and will be represented
by Jerry Hill who was elected on Nov. 6.
San Francisco, which was split into two
Senate districts (three and eight), is now
entirely in the 11th Senate district and
will be represented by Mark Leno who
was also elected this month as well.
Now we have Sen. Yee, a duly elect-
ed state senator with two years remain-
ing in his term, without an ofcially
dened district or constituents to repre-
sent. After speaking with Yees aide a
little over a week ago, it seems for now
that Yee will represent the same con-
stituents he did in the past until some
changes or modications are made by
the California Citizens Redistricting
Commission or other appropriate
authority. Until then, we in San Mateo
County will be represented by two state
senators, both Sen. Hill and Sen. Yee,
an oddity indeed.
As of now, I plan to interact with
both senators Yee and Hill as our state
Senate representatives and plan to talk
to each on how they perceive the inter-
active process should take place with
each of them. Having two representa-
tives in what seems to be similar capac-
ities could become clumsy and counter-
productive. Knowing each of them as
professionals, I am sure that effective
communications will continue.

State Senate representation
Senate exit
interview
H
ow is this for an exit interview? State Sen. Joe
Simitian, D-Palo Alto, termed out of office and
just elected to the Santa Clara County Board of
Supervisors, will be holding a telephone town hall and
exit interview this
Sunday from 11 a.m. to
noon, in which members
of the public can ask
questions and hear his
candid reflections as he
leaves office after serv-
ing in the state
Legislature for 12 years.
He will be leaving his
Senate office at the end
of the month.
Simitians vote on the
high-speed rail project
this summer was the
epitome of candid. In
that vote, he castigated
the High-Speed Rail
Authority and the way it
approached its business for the past several years. After
contending with the authority for several years, some
have said it was just a natural explosion of frustration
with the dysfunctional agency. In the end, however, his
vote was not needed since the measure to include money
for rail improvements in Southern California and electri-
fication of Caltrain passed both the Assembly and Senate
and was later signed by Gov. Jerry Brown.
Dont know if his exit interview will have the elec-
tricity of the 17-minute soliloquy Simitian provided on
the Senate floor, but he has always provided honest
answers to constituent questions. If you want to listen in,
call (866) 476-7782. The town hall is hosted by Carl
Guardino, the president and CEO of the Silicon Valley
Leadership Group and host of the CEO Show on KLIV
Radio.

ing at every option and will leave no stone unturned.

San Mateo County Supervisor Dave Pine, fresh off a
victory from his push for Measure B, which will shift
the way supervisors are elected in this county from
countywide to by district and ostensibly create more
competitive elections, revealed his wife did not support
the measure he fought years to pass. The opposition was
not a sign of a house divided, he said she would rather
not contend with any more contested elections.

Pine, who is now fully immersed in his second year on
the board, is working with Controller Bob Adler on
establishing a whistleblower hotline for members of the
countys governmental agencies who may see fraud or
fiscal mismanagement in their midst. With several cases
of embezzlement at a variety of public agencies recently,
this is a solid idea whose time has come.

Stocks close lower
By Steve Rothwell
NEW YORK Stock indexes closed
lower Thursday, a third straight decline,
after U.S. retailers issued weak forecasts
for earnings and more people led claims
for unemployment benets.
Wal-Mart, Ross Stores and Limited
Brands, the owner of Victorias Secret,
all fell after issuing forecasts that disap-
pointed nancial analysts. Wal-Mart fell
$2.59, or 3.6 percent, to $68.72.
The Dow Jones industrial average
wavered between small gains and losses
shortly after the opening bell, then
moved lower at midmorning. It closed
down 28.57 points at 12,542.38.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
dropped 2.16 points to 1,353.33 and the
Nasdaq composite nished 9.87 points
lower at 2,836.94.
Stocks have fallen steadily since voters
returned President Barack Obama and a
divided Congress to power. The Dow has
lost 5 percent from Election Day, Nov. 6.
Investors are worried that U.S. leaders
may not reach a deal before tax increases
and government spending cuts take effect
Jan. 1. The impact would total $700 bil-
lion for 2013 and could send the country
back into recession.
Bill Stone, chief investment strategist
at PNC Asset Management Group in
Philadelphia, said the bargaining in
Washington would likely drag on until
next year, weighing on stocks. Its hard
to see the market getting a whole ton of
traction until that gets settled.
President Obama will meet with con-
gressional leaders Friday to talk about
the budget, but he appeared to suggest
Thursday that he would insist on an
increase in tax rates for the wealthy.
T. Dale, a portfolio manager at
Security Ballew Wealth Management in
Jackson, Miss., said that stocks are more
likely to fall than rise, partly because of
slowing global economic growth and the
U.S. budget impasse.
The market has gotten well ahead of
itself, Dale said.
Superstorm Sandy drove the number of
people seeking unemployment benets
up to 439,000 last week, the Labor
Department reported. Applications for
benets rose 78,000, mostly because a
large number were led in storm-dam-
aged states.
The European Unions statistics
agency conrmed that the euro zone, the
group of 17 countries that use the euro
currency, is in recession.
Wal-Mart 3Q profit
up but sees sales shortfall
NEW YORK Wal-Mart Stores Inc.
reported a 9 percent increase in net
income for the third quarter, but revenue
for the worlds largest retailer fell below
Wall Street forecasts as its low-income
shoppers continue to grapple with an
uncertain economy.
The discounter issued a fourth-quarter
prot outlook that fell short of Wall
Street expectations, and the companys
stock price slid nearly 4 percent.
Wal-Mart is considered an economic
bellwether because the retailer accounts
for nearly 10 percent of nonautomotive
retail spending in the U.S. The compa-
nys latest results show that many low-
income Americans its estimated that
the typical Wal-Mart customer has an
average household income of between
$30,000 and $60,000, rents their homes
and doesnt own stock continue to
struggle even as the housing and stock
markets are improving.
Automakers bet on pickup surge
DETROIT Auto companies are
betting on a surge in pickup sales now
that home building is on the rise.
Chrysler said Thursday it is adding
1,000 workers to its Ram pickup factory
because it sees higher demand for the
redesigned truck. Ford and General
Motors also say truck sales are climbing
fast after several years of small but
steady growth.
Truck sales rise or fall with home con-
struction, since theyre the vehicle of
choice for contractors and construction
crews. And there are growing signs that
home construction and prices are in the
midst of a steady recovery, said Tom
Libby, lead North American forecasting
analyst for the Polk research rm.
For example, government data shows
builders started construction on homes
and apartments at the fastest pace in
more than four years in September.
Gap raises outlook after
stronger third quarter
NEW YORK Gap Inc. raised its
outlook for the year after reporting big-
ger third-quarter net income that beat
Wall Street expectations on Thursday.
The San Francisco-based clothing
retailer said an uptick in sales at its
Banana Republic, Old Navy and name-
sake stores helped lift its net income by
60 percent for the period. The perform-
ance is the latest sign that the company
may be in turnaround mode, fueled by
strong marketing and a revamping of its
products.
CEO Glenn Murphy said in a confer-
ence call with analysts that Gap was
continuing its transformation from an
American-centric company to more of
a global brand. For example, the compa-
ny opened its rst Gap Outlet store in
China and an online business in Japan
during the quarter.
Wall Street
Stocks that moved substantially or traded
heavily Thursday on the New York Stock
Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market:
NYSE
Wal-Mart Stores Inc., down $2.59 at $68.72
The retailer said its third-quarter net income
rose 9 percent, but its fourth-quarter prot
outlook fell short of expectations.
Limited Brands Inc., down $1.10 at $45.50
The womens clothing retailer reported a drop
in its scal third-quarter prot as sales slipped
but managed to beat market expectations.
TransDigm Group Inc., down $5.74 at $125.65
The aircraft parts maker posted scal fourth-
quarter results that were lower than analysts
expected,and it issued a weak full-year outlook.
Nasdaq
Viacom Inc., up $1.21 at $49.92
The owner of the Paramount lm studio and
several cable TV channels said that its scal
fourth-quarter net income rose 13 percent.
The Childrens Place Retail Stores Inc., down
$8.09 at $48.91
The childrens clothing company cut its net
income forecast for the year because of more
promotions after Superstorm Sandy.
Destination Maternity Corp.,up $1.02 at $19.89
By attracting more shoppers and controlling
costs,the maternity clothing chain said fourth-
quarter net income nearly doubled.
PetSmart Inc., up $2.63 at $67.48
Thanks to higher sales,the pet retailer reported
strong results during the third-quarter and
raised its full-year outlook.
Ross Stores Inc., down 70 cents at $54.44
The retailer said that its net income rose 11
percent in the third quarter, but the company
posted a weak holiday forecast.

Playoffs run starts in the backfield
By Ronald Blum
NEW YORK Miguel Cabrera
has a Most Valuable Player award
to go with his Triple Crown. And
Buster Posey has an MVP prize to
put alongside his second World
Series ring.
The pair of batting champions
won baseballs top individual hon-
ors Thursday by large margins.
Cabrera, the rst Triple Crown
winner in 45 years, won the AL
MVP by receiving 22 of 28 rst-
place votes and 362 points from a
panel of Baseball Writers
Association of America.
The Detroit third baseman easily
beat Los Angeles Angels rookie
center elder Mike Trout, who had
six rsts and 281 points.
Cabrera hit .330 with 44 homers
and 139 RBIs to become the rst
Triple Crown winner since
Bostons Carl Yastrzemski in 1967.
Cabrera also led the league with a
.606 slugging percentage for the
AL champion Tigers.
Some of the more sabermetric-
focused fans supported Trout, who
hit .326 with 30 homers and 83
RBIs, and he led the majors with
129 runs and 49 steals and topped
all players in WAR Wins Above
Replacement. Trout won AL
Rookie of the Year earlier in the
week.
I was a little concerned. I
thought the new thing about com-
puter stuff, I thought Trouts going
to win because they put his num-
bers over me, Cabrera said. I was
like relax. ... if he wins, its going
to be fair because he had a great
season.
His victory is a win for the tradi-
tional statistics.
At the end of the game, its going
to be the same baseball played back
in the day, Cabrera said.
Posey, at a charity event at his
mothers school in Leesburg, Va.,
followed the AL debate and
Googled to nd out the winner.
I think it intrigued everybody,
he said. As a fan of the game, it was
a fun race to watch.
With three fewer hits or two less
homers, Cabrera would have fallen
short of the Triple Crown. The last
four Triple Crown winners have
been voted MVP, including Mickey
Mantle in 1956 and Frank Robinson
in 1966.
I think winning the Triple Crown
had a lot to do with me winning this
honor, he said.

High school football appears to be
transitioning to a passing game, fol-
lowing in the footsteps of the col-
lege and professional games.
Despite the proliferation of high-
octane, pass-happy offenses, there is
apparently still a need for a solid
running game. In San Mateo
County, there are no fewer than six
running backs who have rushed for
1,000 yards or more: Justin Ewing
(Capuchino, 2,749 yards), Eric
Redwood (Serra, 1,416), Tanner
Piccolotti (Terra Nova, 1,162), Mike
Taylor (Sequoia, 1,010), Kevin
Cunha (South City, 1,009) and
Anthony Shkuratov (South City,
over 1,000).
In all, the county boasts nearly a
dozen players who have rushed for
700 yards or more.
All of their teams are in the
Central Coast Section playoffs.
For the most part, coaches utilize
their players in a way to best take
advantage of their strengths.
Thats how we looked at it when
we went up against Menlo, said
South City coach Frank Moro, who
used a punishing ground attack to
beat the Knights 43-39, taking the
lead on its last drive of the game.
That last (scoring drive) was
pretty much all on the ground.
Other coaches are learning that
spreading out the offense does not
necessarily mean abandoning the
running game. Terra Novas Bill
Gray and Sequoias Rob Poulos
both utilize a spread offensive for-
mation. Gray and his Tigers throw
the ball a bit more, while Poulos
still sees his offense as being a run-
rst unit.
We typically have a 3-to-1, run-
to-pass ratio, Poulos said.
In the spread offense, the quarter-
back has to have the ability to read
both run and pass. He is typically
the best athlete on the offense and
its no surprise both Sequoias
Taylor and Terra Novas Kren
Spain are among the best dual-threat
signal callers. Spain nished the
regular season with over 2,000
yards passing and nished just shy
of 1,000 yards rushing. Taylor
rushed for over 1,000 yards and
passed for more than 800.
There are run spread teams and
pass spread teams. We feel having a
spread offense gives us a better
chance to run, Poulos said. Thats
why I like the spread. If [the quar-
terback] is a pass-rst guy, there are
a lot of pass options. If hes a run-
rst guy, there are a lot of run
options.

SANTA CLARA San Francisco 49ers
coach Jim Harbaugh was sent to the hospital
Thursday for a minor procedure after doc-
tors discovered he had an irregular heartbeat.
The team said it anticipates Harbaugh will
be back at the 49ers facility Friday, though its
unclear in what capacity. No details about the
procedure were given.
The NFC West-leading 49ers (6-2-1) host
the NFC-North leading Chicago Bears (7-2)
on Monday night at Candlestick Park.
Its one of those things that, like Coach
Harbaugh always tells us, hes tougher than a
$2 steak, 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis said.
We know hes going to be alright. We know
we have a bunch of great coaches here that
keep everything on track, and were going to
practice today as if he was here.
Team spokesman Bob Lange said no inci-
dent had occurred at the facility. Instead,
Harbaugh had visited with doctors
Wednesday night after feeling ill, and they
advised him to have the procedure done at
Stanford Hospital.
Players were informed
of Harbaughs hospitaliza-
tion by assistant head
coach and special teams
coordinator Brad Seely
during Thursday morn-
ings walkthrough. Seely
also oversaw team meet-
ings and the afternoon
practice.
Players said the news caught them by sur-
prise.
He was pretty good. We were slapping
hands and talking yesterday, 49ers safety
Dashon Goldson said of Harbaugh. I didnt
see anything. He showed no emotions. He did-
nt show anything like that.
Added Willis: He seemed ne to me. He
actually sat right behind me in meetings. He
seemed ne. I didnt know anything was
wrong. But like I said, we know hes going to
be alright.
Suddenly, quarterback Alex Smiths recov-
ery from a concussion is San Franciscos sec-
ond-biggest injury concern.
The 48-year-old Harbaugh won NFL Coach
of the Year in his rst season with the 49ers
after coming over from Stanford, where he
had engineered a Cardinal resurgence. He
won the Orange Bowl in his nal year on The
Farm and groomed Andrew Luck into the
eventual No. 1 overall draft pick of the
Indianapolis Colts.
The always intense coachs impact was
immediately felt up the road in San Francisco.
Harbaugh led the 49ers to a 13-3 record in
the regular season and back to the playoffs for
the rst time since the 2002-03 season. They
lost 20-17 in overtime to the New York Giants
in the NFC championship game on Jan. 22.
Harbaugh, a 15-year NFL quarterback who
starred at Michigan in college, has always
tried to outwork the competition.
Most recently, Harbaugh and his wife,
Sarah, welcomed their rst son Sept. 4 and
Harbaugh didnt even have to miss a full prac-
tice, just an afternoon walkthrough. Jack Jr.,
named after Harbaughs father, was the cou-
ples third child, joining two big sisters,
Addison and Katherine.
San Francisco scout team safety Michael
Thomas played at Stanford under Harbaugh
and has known the coach since Thomas was a
17-year-old recruit from Houston. He said he
has seen Harbaugh whom he calls a men-
tor and friend exhaust himself for years but
never imagined his health could be in jeop-
ardy.
Thomas sent Harbaugh a text message to
wish him well and not to hurry back until
hes healthy.
In his mind, hes serious, like I never get
sick, I never take a day off, blah, blah, blah,
Thomas said. To actually see something like
this happen to a man whos so passionate
about his job and about this team, to see him
be taken away, you wish him well but you
know its just killing him not being here.
NOTES: Smith practiced in a non-contact
black jersey for the second straight day. He
hopes to play against the Bears, but there are
still further steps for him to be medically
cleared after sustaining a concussion in the
second quarter against the St. Louis Rams on
Sunday. ... Rookie LaMichael James, the for-
mer Oregon running back, has a friendly
wager this week with Thomas. Whoevers for-
mer school wins Saturdays game between
top-ranked Oregon and No. 14 Stanford has to
wear the other teams gear all next week.

Raiders look to slow down New Orleans TE Graham
ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders have plenty of experience
dealing with elite tight ends playing in the same division as Antonio
Gates and having faced Tony Gonzalez so many times over the
years.
Going up against New Orleans Jimmy Graham this week might
be the toughest test yet.
With his imposing 6-foot-7, 265-pound frame and the athletic
ability of a former college basketball player, Graham is a matchup
nightmare for opposing defenses. Thats especially true for a Raiders
team that is banged up in the secondary and has struggled all season
to slow down opposing tight ends.
Hes always been a big guy who can run and go up and catch the
ball but hes learned how to run routes and how to get himself open,
coach Dennis Allen said. Hes one of the toughest matchups that
weve seen.
Graham has overcome an inconsistent stretch earlier this season
when he struggled to hold onto balls and has regained his form of
late. He has 20 catches for 281 yards and four touchdowns the past
three games.
That improvement has helped the Saints (4-5) rebound from an 0-
4 start heading into Sundays game against the Raiders (3-6).
I think he was battling through some little nicks and injuries early
on, quarterback Drew Brees said. I think all of us just needed to
nd the mojo a little bit. It took four games to do it, but when you
look at the last ve games youd say weve denitely had our
moments where we feel like were back to playing the type of foot-
ball we know how to play.
Since the start of last season, Graham is second in the NFL among
all tight ends in receptions (144), yards receiving (1,843) and touch-
downs (18). Thats quite a resume for someone who played just one
year of football and four years of basketball in college at Miami.
But despite the lack of experience, Graham was drafted in the
third round by the Saints in 2010 and has quickly emerged as one of
the best in the league at his position.
Graham is a matchup problem throughout the league, corner-
back Ron Bartell said. He runs like a wide receiver but has unusu-
al size. He denitely presents a problem, but there are so many tight
ends like that throughout the league. We just need to be fundamen-
tally sound. If were able to do that I think well come out ne.
The Raiders have struggled to do that this season. They allowed
Dennis Pitta and Ed Dickson to combine for seven catches for 126
yards and two touchdowns in last weeks 55-20 loss at Baltimore as
Oakland left the middle of the eld wide open most of the game.
Heath Miller caught two TD passes for Pittsburgh earlier in the
year against Oakland and Jacob Tamme and Joel Dreessen teamed
up for a big day for Denver as well.
The defensive backs say much of the problem can be attributed to
poor communication between the secondary and linebackers, which
must be xed immediately with Brees and the Saints coming to
town.
Oh, boy. It cant happen this week, cornerback Michael Huff
said. Hes one of the smartest, one the greatest quarterbacks out
there. Pre-snap, he kind of knows already what youre in, so weve
got to hopefully disguise a little bit and make him think a little bit
and let our pressure get him.
Complicating the task this week is the fact that Oakland strong
safety Tyvon Branch has missed both practices so far with a neck
injury sustained last week in Baltimore and his status for Sundays
game is in question.
Branch and outside linebacker Philip Wheeler have gotten the
most time this season matching up against tight ends. Wheeler has
struggled of late. He allowed six catches for 88 yards in six attempts
last week and opposing quarterbacks have completed all 16 passes
thrown his way the past three weeks, according to game charting by
Pro Football Focus.

TORONTO Negotiations had
already hit a wall in the ongoing hock-
ey labor ght, and now the NHL has
suggested the sides take an ofcial
two-week break before getting back to
the bargaining table.
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman
oated the idea of a break to players
association executive director Donald
Fehr. The union hasnt responded to
the league yet, but the players main-
tained their position on Thursday
night that they are ready and willing to
meet at any time, and the only way to
reach a deal to end the long lockout is
to keep talking and negotiating.
Gary suggested the possibility of a
two-week moratorium, NHL deputy
commissioner Bill Daly wrote in an
email to The Associated Press on
Thursday night. Im disappointed
because we dont have a negotiating
partner that has any genuine interest in
reaching an agreement. Zero interest.
The suggestion of a break was rst
reported by The Canadian Press on
Thursday night.
With no new negotiations sched-
uled, and communication in general
shutting down, the NHL appears to be
getting closer to calling off more
games, putting the entire hockey sea-
son in jeopardy.
I hope not, but Im more discour-
aged now than I have been at any
point in the process, Daly said. I
responded to Don saying he did not
know how to proceed from here.
The sides put on a push to make an
agreement last week when they met
over six consecutive days in New
York. However, Fridays session
ended with a heated exchange, and
talks lasted only about an hour on
Sunday.
The 61-day lockout has already
claimed 327 regular-season games,
including the New Years Day outdoor
Winter Classic, and more could be
wiped out within a week. It is believed
that an agreement would need to be in
place by the end of next week for the
season to get under way on Dec. 1.
That is starting to look unlikely
because of the mere fact that the sides
are unable to nd common ground on
the big issues keeping them apart. It is
more than just nances preventing a
deal. The disagreements over player
contract terms have emerged as just
big an impasse.
The NHL wants to limit contracts to
ve years, make rules to prohibit
back-diving contracts the league feels
circumvent the salary cap, keep play-
ers ineligible for unrestricted free
agency until they are 28 or have eight
years of professional service time, cut
entry-level deals to two years, and
make salary arbitration after ve
years.
A few hours into last Fridays ses-
sion, negotiations broke down over
the core economic differences that
separate the sides.
A lockout wiped out the entire
2004-05 season.
Hope fading for deal to save NHL season
By Antonio Gonzalez
STANFORD Sam Schwartzstein
and the rest of Stanfords offensive
linemen gathered in a meeting room
this week to watch video of a moment
the senior center never wants his team-
mates to forget.
On the nal play of the third quarter
in last weeks 27-23 win over Oregon
State, running back Stepfan Taylor
caught a short pass from Kevin Hogan
around the 42-yard line. Taylor shook
a defender at the 34, scurried around
the sideline, sliced back inside at the
15, stiff-armed a safety to his belly at
the 12 and sprinted past another at the
2 for a game-changing touchdown.
We watched it a few times in our
meeting room, Schwartzstein said.
Just like, Hey, guys. If we do our
jobs, or even do a little bit of our jobs,
this guy can do unbelievable things.
Overlooked so often when he played
alongside Andrew Luck and Toby
Gerhart, Taylor is leaving all sorts of
lasting memories on The Farm.
The subtle senior has a chance to
add to his legacy and set a new
Stanford standard in one of the biggest
games of his career. Taylor is 202
yards shy of Darrin Nelsons school
record of 4,033 yards rushing as the
No. 14 Cardinal (8-2, 6-1) head to top-
ranked Oregon (10-0, 7-0) on Saturday
night in the Pac-12s showdown of the
season.
He epitomizes what were all about
it, Stanford coach David Shaw said.
Just the consistency, the toughness,
the versatility. Theres nothing he cant
do.
While Kenjon Barner, LaMichael
James and other Oregon running backs
have so often overshadowed Taylors
tenure on the West Coast, he has nal-
ly begun to receive the recognition
teammates and coaches believe he
deserves.
Taylor is sandwiched between
Nelson and Gerhart the 2009
Heisman Trophy runner-up who n-
ished with 3,522 yards in his collegiate
career while starting only two seasons
on Stanfords career rushing list.
Taylor, a Doak Walker Award semi-
nalist, became the rst player in school
history to rush for at least 1,000 yards
in three straight seasons last week and
has carried the Cardinal through the
post-Luck Era one powerful stride at a
time this fall.
For some reason, and I dont know
why, I think hes extremely underrat-
ed, Oregon coach Chip Kelly said.
You look at the numbers that hes put
up, and hes got an opportunity to
cement himself as one of the best run-
ning backs of all time in Stanford his-
tory.
Those around him believe Taylors
personality is part of the reason his
accomplishments have gone unno-
ticed.
Instead, the somewhat shy running
back chooses to let his guard down
with his alter ego, Kulaba, who has
become a YouTube sensation. The
comedic videos feature Taylor aka
Kulaba wearing funky sunglasses,
hats and shirts while free-style rap-
ping.
Some videos have included offen-
sive linemen and other Stanford ath-
letes. Theres even one where Kulaba
interviews Taylor, who pokes fun at his
otherwise dont-look-at-me personali-
ty. Now most of his teammates and
friends even total strangers call
Taylor Kula.
Its been kind of crazy seeing the
reaction to that, Taylor said. Its just
been a fun way to let my personality
out.

Open Division
No. 8 Terra Nova (6-4) vs. No. 1
Bellarmine (9-1) at San Jose City
College, 7 p.m. Friday
The Tigers captured their fourth
straight Peninsula Athletic League
Bay Division championship, while
the Bells are now the two-time
defending West Catholic Athletic
League champion.
This is the second year in a row
these teams faced off in the rst
round of the Open Division play-
offs. Things did not go so well for
Terra Nova in 2011 as Bellarmine
ripped the Tigers 56-12.
Terra Nova prepared for playing
in the Open Division this season by
scheduling as tough a non-league
schedule as coach Bill Gray has
ever had. All ve of the Tigers
non-league opponents qualied for
the playoffs and they compiled a 2-
3 record against them.
Unfortunately for the Tigers, two
of those losses came to Sacred
Heart Cathedral and St. Ignatius.
Bellarmine beat both those squads
during WCAL play.
No. 5 Serra (8-2) at No. 4 Palo
Alto (8-2), 7 p.m. Friday
The Padres nished in a tie for
second place in the WCAL, while
Palo Alto captured the champi-
onship of the Santa Clara Valley
Athletic Leagues De Anza
Division, one of the few public
school leagues that can hang with
teams from the WCAL.
This game should feature the
running of Serras Eric Redwood
versus the arm of Palo Alto quar-
terback Keller Chryst. Redwood
has rushed for more than 1,400
yards, while Chryst averages 227
yards passing.
The Vikings are more than just
Chryst, however. They are one of
the more balanced offense in the
playoffs, averaging just under 200
yards rushing per game as they
post more than 41 points per game.
Serra, on the other hand, uses a
ground and pound attack, averag-
ing 320 yards on the ground and 36
points per game against a tougher
schedule.
Division I
No. 5 Sequoia (7-3) at No. 4
Menlo-Atherton (6-4), 7 p.m.
Friday
The Cherokees return to the
playoffs for the second time in
three years, after advancing to the
Division II finals in 2010. The
Bears are making their third
straight appearance. They
advanced to the Division I champi-
onship game last year.
Despite playing in two different
divisions of the PAL Sequoia in
the Ocean and M-A in the Bay
there is no reason to think the
Cherokees will be at a physical dis-
advantage. Plus, they feature one of
the better dual-threat quarterbacks
around in Mike Taylor, who rushed
for more than 1,000 yards this sea-
son and passed for 840 more.
Complementing Taylor is running
back Dylan Anderson, who rushed
for nearly 800 yards this season.
M-A hangs its hat on it defense,
which is allowing an average of 20
points per game. The Bears will
need the offense to stand tall to
make up for the loss of quarterback
Royce Branning, who injured his
knee two weeks ago. His replace-
ment, Zack Moore, is 6 for 17 since
taking over the role, throwing two
touchdowns passes.
The running back duo of Tasi
Teu and Alan Sakalia will take
some of the pressure off Moore.
The two have combined to rush for
more than 1,100 yards and eight
touchdowns.
Division II
No. 6 South City (7-3) at No. 3
Wilcox (7-3), 7 p.m. Friday
The Warriors captured their rst
division title since the formation of
the PAL as it currently stands in
1996. The Chargers nished in a tie
for second place with Milpitas in
the SCVALs De Anza Division.
Both teams come into this meet-
ing with a full head of steam: South
City is a riding a six-game winning
streak, while Wilcox has won its
last four games.
This game is a matchup between
running games. Wilcox features
Delshawn Mitchell, who has
rushed for more than 1,300 yards
this season, and Roland Luke, who
has gained more than 1,000 yards
on the ground. South City counters
with a pair of 1,000-yard backs of
its own in Anthony Shkuratov and
Kevin Cunha. The defense that can
slow the others ground attack has
a good chance at winning the
game.
No. 5 Aragon (7-3) at No. 4
Leland (6-4), 7 p.m. Friday
The Dons have been up and
down since the start of PAL Bay
Division play, picking up a big win
over Terra Nova, but suffering a
disappointing loss to Burlingame.
The Chargers nished in a tie for
second place in the Blossom Valley
Athletic Leagues Mt. Hamilton
Division, two games behind unde-
feated Oak Grove, which is the No.
2 seed in the Open Division.
Aragon has the ability to beat
teams on the ground or through the
air, but the Dons aerial attack may
have taken a hit when top receiver
Aldo Severson was banged up in a
win over Hillsdale last week.
Leland is very similar, averaging
167 yards passing and 216 yards
rushing.
Leland quarterback Matt
McLaughlin has thrown for more
than 1,600 yards this season, with
18 touchdowns and just ve inter-
ceptions.
Division III
No. 6 Burlingame (5-5) at No. 3
Valley Christian (4-6), 7 p.m.
Saturday
The Panthers won their final
three games of the season and
earned the Bay Divisions fourth-
automatic CCS bid. Their reward?
A meeting with the Warriors, who
despite having a losing record,
have a good chance at winning the
Division III title.
This is the second year in a row
the Panthers have drawn the
Warriors in the rst round of CCS.
Last year, Valley Christian posted a
35-21 win.
The good news for Burlingame is
its ground attack appears to be at
full strength. The Panthers rushed
for more than 700 yards, com-
bined, in their last two games. Joe
Mahe appears closer to 100 percent
healthy after rushing for 168 yards
against San Mateo last week, most
of which came on dives up the mid-
dle.
Valley Christian is just as effec-
tive on the ground, averaging 337
yards per game.
Division IV
No. 5 Monte Vista Christian (8-
2) vs. No. 4 Menlo School (8-2) at
Sequoia High, 7 p.m. Friday
The Mustangs nished in third
place in the Monterey Bay League
Pacific Division standings, but
their two league losses came to the
teams above them Seaside and
Alisal and both those games
were close.
The Knights are coming off a
disappointing loss to rival Sacred
Heart Prep and nished second in
the Pals Ocean Division behind
South City.
Both these teams can light up the
scoreboard. Monte Vista Christian
is averaging more than 41 points
per game, while Menlo checks in
with 49 per.

One team that will never be
confused with a spread attack
is Capuchino. The Mustangs
are a throwback, running out
of the I-formation and giving
the opposition heavy, heavy
doses of Justin Ewing, whose
2,749 yards is third in the
state, according to
MaxPreps.com. Capuchino
coach Adam Hyndman identi-
ed what he had designed his
offense around it.
Its all about personnel.
What I wouldnt do is stick
with an offense if I didnt have
the personnel, Hyndman
said. I think you want to con-
trol the clock (with a solid
running game). You want the
ball in (your) offenses hands
as long as possible. You dont
want to give (the other team)
the ball.
Most coaches agree: use an
offense that best suits a teams
personnel. At Menlo School,
that means using the run-and-
shoot and depending on your
quarterback to distribute the
ball to a bevy of receivers. For
South City, it means using the
abilities of Shkuratov and
Cunha. Moro said he wanted
to throw the ball a bit more
this season, considering
receivers Robert Johnson and
Jerrick Anicete have good
hands and are good receivers.
Its hard, however, to nd
all the parts necessary to have
a successful passing game: a
capable quarterback, an offen-
sive line that can pass block
and quality receivers.
Shkuratov started the season
as the Warriors starting quar-
terback, but it became obvious
he was still a running back
playing closer to the line of
scrimmage. Heading into
Peninsula Athletic League
play, Maligi Maluia took over
the quarterbacking duties and
moved Shkuratov back to his
familiar spot as a running
back.
We thought we might be
able to (throw the ball a little
more). But [Johnson] got
banged up a little big and
[Anicete] was coming back
off a broken leg, Moro said.
Its nice to have two (quality)
backs. Thats our bread and
butter. Its what were doing:
running power. Thats what
were going to do.
Hyndman believes its just
easier to implement a ground
attack. Having one of the best
running backs in the state in
Ewing helps, but he also cred-
its the offensive line for
gelling as the season has gone
along. Hyndman said he does-
nt try to get too fancy
because, as he said, the last
thing I want my o-line doing,
pre-snap, is thinking.
In regards to our team and
like every other successful
team, like (those in) the
WCAL or De La Salle, they
dont have many plays in their
arsenal. We limit the number
of plays we run and learn to
run those very well.

No. 8 Capuchino (6-4) at No. 1
Seaside (10-0), 7 p.m. Friday
The Mustangs are riding high
after winning their rst division title
in more than 50 years. Their reward
is facing a Seaside team that is
among the best Division IV teams in
the state.
The Spartans defense is a force,
allowing just over seven points per
game. More importantly, they
havent allowed a 100-yard rusher
all season.
Now, Seaside will face the states
best rusher, statistically, in
Capuchinos Justin Ewing, who
needs about 55 yards to break the
CCS single-season rushing record.
If the Mustangs offensive line can
pave the way for Ewing, not only
will the record fall but theyll have a
chance to pull the monumental
upset.
No. 7 Pacic Grove (7-3) at No.
2 Sacred Heart Prep (9-1), 1 p.m.
Saturday
The Breakers had their four-game
winning streak snapped last week,
losing to Mission Trail Athletic
League champ Carmel. The Gators
won their nal four games, includ-
ing rallying from a 12-point, fourth-
quarter decit against Menlo last
week.
SHP is one of the strongest teams
in CCS. Not only do the Gators
average 30 points per game, their
defense is allowing a measly nine
points per contest. Pacic Grove is
scoring an average of 33, but allow-
ing 27.

Cabrera became the sec-
ond straight Detroit player
voted MVP, following
pitcher Justin Verlander in
2011, and was the first
Venezuelan to earn the
honor. Countryman Pablo
Sandoval took home World
Series MVP honors last
month.
Before the season,
Cabrera switched from rst
base to third to make way
for Prince Fielder, who
signed with Detroit as a free
agent.
I focused too much in
spring training about
defense, defense, defense,
Cabrera said. I forgot a lit-
tle bit about hitting, about
getting in the cage like I
normally do.
In spring training, Poseys
focus was just to get back
on the eld. His 2011 sea-
son was cut short by a colli-
sion with the Marlins Scott
Cousins on May 25 that
resulted in a fractured bone
in Poseys lower left leg and
three torn ankle ligaments.
Posey not only returned,
he became the rst catcher
in 70 years to win the NL
batting title and helped San
Francisco win its second
World Series championship
in three seasons.
I denitely have a deeper
appreciation for being able
to play baseball, he said.
Ive seen that it can be
taken away quick.
The rst catcher in four
decades to win the NL
award, Posey got 27 of 32
rsts and 422 points to out-
distance 2011 winner Ryan
Braun of Milwaukee, who
was second with 285 points.
Pittsburgh outfielder
Andrew McCutchen (245)
was third, followed by St.
Louis catcher Yadier Molina
(241).
Posey, a boyish-looking
25, was the 2010 NL
Rookie of the Year as the
Giants won their rst World
Series since 1954. This year
he set career highs with a
.336 average, 24 homers
and 103 RBIs as San
Francisco won again.
Posey took the NL batting
title after teammate Melky
Cabrera requested a rules
change that disqualified
him. Cabrera, who hit .346,
missed the nal 45 games of
the regular-season while
serving a suspension for a
positive testosterone test
and would have won the
batting crown if the rule
hadnt been changed.
Ernie Lombardi had been
the previous catcher to cap-
ture the NL batting champi-
onship, in 1942.
I think anybody that has
caught before understands
the grind of catching, not
only the physical, the nicks,
the wear and tear of squat-
ting for nine innings night
in, day out, but just the
mental grind of working a
pitching staff, Posey said.
Its demanding.
NOTES: In his rst sea-
son with the Angels, Albert
Pujols didnt nish among
the top 10 for the rst time
in his career. While with St.
Louis, he won three times,
was second four times and
also nished third, fourth,
fth and ninth. ... Catchers
have won the NL MVP just
eight times, with Posey
joining Gabby Hartnett
(1935), Lombardi (1938),
Roy Campanella (1951,
1953, 1955) and Johnny
Bench (1970, 1972). Posey
became the first Giants
player to win since Barry
Bonds was voted his record
seventh MVP award in
2004. ... Cabrera earned a
$500,000 bonus, Adrian
Beltre $150,000.

BOSTON Professional
football can evolve into a
safer game without sacric-
ing the physical play or,
some would say, violence
that has made it so popu-
lar, NFL commissioner
Roger Goodell said in a
speech on player safety at
the Harvard School of
Public Health on Thursday.
Football has always
evolved, and it always will,
he told an overow crowd
of a few hundred. Make no
mistake: change does not
inhibit the game; it
improves it.
In a long-planned appear-
ance that came four days
after three starting NFL
quarterbacks were knocked
out with concussions,
Goodell said that the league
has already improved the
way it handles hits to the
head.
San Franciscos Alex
Smith, Chicagos Jay Cutler
and Philadelphias Michael
Vick were all diagnosed
with concussions in
Sundays games. Goodell
said that all three were taken
out as soon as they showed
symptoms, a claim that was
challenged by a member of
the audience during the
period for questions who
noted that Smith and Cutler
kept playing for a short time
after being injured.
It was identied and they
were taken out of the game,
the commissioner said.
Even a few years ago, Im
not sure you would have
seen that.
Listing some of the safety
measures that have been
incorporated into the sport
both before and since he
became commissioner,
Goodell mentioned the
elimination of the flying
wedge that was first
employed by Harvard in the
1800s and the change in
kickoffs last season that he
credited for a 40 percent
reduction in concussions on
returns. He said the league
is looking into better hel-
mets and sponsoring scien-
tific research that could
make the game still safer.
Not long ago, the game
allowed the head slap, tack-
ling by the face mask,
horse-collar tackles, danger-
ous blocks, and hits to the
head of defenseless
receivers and quarterbacks.
All of that has changed, he
said.
My commitment has
been and will continue to be
to change the culture of
football to better protect
players without changing
the essence of what makes
the game so popular. It has
been done.
NFL commissioner says sport will evolve, get safer

ROSEMONT, Ill. Bud Selig was
on hand when the Miami Marlins
played their rst regular-season game
in their swanky new ballpark in April.
The commissioner provided a glowing
review of the $634 million project and
boldly declared that opposition to the
facility would fade away within ve
years.
So far, its not looking so good for
that last prediction.
Selig said Thursday he is examining
the pending blockbuster trade that
sends at least three of Miamis best
players to Toronto for a package of
prospects just seven months after the
Marlins moved into their new home,
which was nanced primarily with tax
money.
Speaking at the conclusion of the
owners meetings, Selig said he also is
aware of fan anger in South Florida but
is going to do whats in the best inter-
ests of the sport.
People have different views of that
as to what you should do and how you
should do it, but I think Ive been able
to come through all these situations
and the sports been stronger and better
as a result, he said, pointing to his
recent experience with the Texas
Rangers and Los Angeles Dodgers
going through bankruptcy proceed-
ings.
So when I say I have this matter
under review and Ive talked to a lot of
our people and Ive spent a lot of time
here in between all the other meetings
this is a tough place to do it thats
exactly what I mean. It is under review.
I am aware of the anger, I am. Im also
aware that in Toronto theyre very
happy.
The Blue Jays, who nished fourth
in the loaded AL East last season, are
bringing in All-Star shortstop Jose
Reyes, left-hander Mark Buehrle and
right-hander Josh Johnson under the
deal, which is contingent on physicals
for the players. Selig also said there is
money going from Miami to Toronto,
but did not offer any details and said
the trade hadnt been ofcially present-
ed to his ofce yet.

Burlingame also has a number of long-term
infrastructure projects that Goldman is excited
to be a part of, such as the Broadway overpass.
However, those projects are not fully funded
another big challenge for Goldman to take
on.
Goldman, who currently lives in Oakland,
has more than 22 years of experience in local
government and nonprots. She spent her rst
seven years in Palo Alto then grew up in
Southern California. After graduating from
Harvard University with a bachelors degree
in American history, Goldman wasnt sure
what to do. She called the local city manager,
at her mothers suggestion, in hopes of work-
ing on the new recycling projects. As an
administrative intern, she was taken under the
wing of the city manager who taught her about
the various parts of the city.
Thinking a career in government may be her
path, Goldman moved to Washington, D.C.
and worked for three years with U.S. Rep.
Henry Waxman. In 1995, Goldman decided to
go back to school. She earned her masters
degree in public policy from the University of
California at Berkeley. She did work in tobac-
co control just after graduating but missed her
government roots by 1999. With some net-
working, she landed a position with the city of
Fremont in government relations. She also
took on special projects through February
2007.
In 2007, Goldman took a deputy city man-
ager job with Alameda. During 2010, she was
named acting city manager. Goldman was pro-
moted to assistant city manager after that posi-
tion ended.
Goldman plans to move to Burlingame and
really become part of the community she will
be representing. In her free time, shes a com-
petitive swimmer and enjoys road cycling.

cially burdensome to the neighborhood.
Last night was the rst opportunity the
council had to weigh in on the matter and
lawyers for the property owner and 7-Eleven
made it clear they are ready to ght.
At issue is why the City Attorneys Ofce
gave a second competing opinion, in an email
to city staff, on the city code that governs non-
conforming uses after the ofce made it clear
to several interested parties that the property
would revert back to residential since the mar-
ket use was discontinued or abandoned for
more than six months.
There is only one opinion that counts, that
the use was not discontinued, said Richard
Givens, the attorney representing property
owner Portfolio Development Partners.
Stephen Jamieson, attorney for 7-Eleven,
even questioned why Deputy Mayor David
Lim would conduct a skillful cross-examina-
tion of staff.
Jamieson also urged the council not to be
swayed by public opinion.
7-Eleven entered into a long-term contract
on reliance of the city, Jamieson said. The
property was purchased in reliance on city
actions. The city cannot go back on its word.
The company signed a lease with a 30-year
term, he said.
Both Portfolio and 7-Eleven estimate their
combined losses to be more than $8 million if
the city does terminate the use.
Portfolio just bought the property in August
for a little more than $1 million.
About 25 members of the public spoke out
against the 7-Eleven moving into the neigh-
borhood last night.
This is not the rst time Portfolio has done
business. They knew the rules. Portfolio cir-
cumvented the rules on the merit of an email,
said Kathy Smith, who lives in the neighbor-
hood.
Christine Stiles told the council more hear-
ings were needed so that the city can learn
exactly what happened and to not be swayed
by the threats of lawsuits.
Its perplexing if you look at the documen-
tation, she said about the citys process of
granting building permits for the 7-Eleven.
The council opted to hold more hearings to
determine whether the market use is legal non-
conforming but it could have moved to deter-
mine whether to terminate the legal non-con-
forming use at last nights meeting.
If it did, it would have considered whether
the 7-Eleven would be especially burdensome
on the neighborhood and how long the market
use would be allowed to stand for the proper-
ty owners to recoup their investment a min-
imum of two years and maximum of ve
years.
The earliest the Planning Commission can
hear the issue is Nov. 27.

TOKYO Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda
dissolved the lower house of parliament
Friday, paving the way for elections in which
his ruling party will likely give way to a weak
coalition government divided over how to
solve Japans myriad problems.
Noda followed through on a pledge to call
elections after the opposition Liberal
Democratic Party agreed to back several key
pieces of legislation, including a deficit
financing bill and electoral reforms. The
Cabinet was expected to quickly announce
elections for Dec. 16.
Nodas Democratic Party of Japan has
grown unpopular thanks to its handling of the
Fukushima nuclear crisis and especially its
recent doubling of the sales tax. The elections
will probably end its three-
year hold on power.
The LDP, which led
Japan for most of the post-
World War II era, may win
the most seats in the 480-
seat lower house, though
polls indicate it will fall far
short of a majority. That
could force it to cobble
together a coalition of par-
ties with differing policies and priorities.
A divided government could hinder deci-
sion-making as Japan wrestles with a two-
decade economic slump, cleanup from last
years nuclear disaster, growing national debt
and a rapidly aging population not to men-
tion a festering territorial dispute with China
that is hurting business ties with its biggest
trading partner. Japan must also decide
whether it will follow through with plans to
phase out nuclear power by 2040 a move
that many in the LDP oppose.
Its unlikely that the election will result in
a clear mandate for anybody, said Koichi
Nakano, a political science professor at
Sophia University. So in that sense, theres
still going to be a lot of muddling through.
Still, many see the prospect of change as a
positive: Japans Nikkei 225 stock index
jumped 2.2 percent Friday to close at
9,024.16.
The path to elections was laid suddenly.
Noda abruptly said Wednesday in a one-on-
one debate with LDP chief Shinzo Abe that he
would dissolve parliament if the opposition
would agree to key reforms, including shrink-
ing the size of parliament.
Abe, who had a one-year stint as prime
minister in 2006 and 2007, now has a chance
to return if the LDP wins the most seats. He
would become Japans seventh prime minister
in seven years, having suddenly quit as prime
minister in 2007, citing health problems he
says are no longer an issue.
A staunch nationalist, Abe has taken a
strong stance against China in the dispute
over a cluster of uninhabited islands in the
East China Sea controlled by Japan but also
claimed by China and Taiwan.
The Democratic Party of Japan won a land-
slide victory in 2009 elections amid high
hopes for change, ousting the conservative,
business-friendly LDP, which had ruled Japan
nearly continuously since 1955.
The DPJs failure to keep campaign promis-
es and the governments handling of the
Fukushima nuclear crisis triggered by the
March 11, 2011, earthquake and tsunami have
left many disillusioned.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip Palestinian
militants targeted densely populated Tel Aviv
in Israels heartland with rockets for the first
time Thursday, part of an unprecedented bar-
rage that threatened to provoke an Israeli
ground assault on Gaza. Three Israelis were
killed.
Air raid sirens wailed and panicked resi-
dents ran for cover in Tel Aviv, Israels com-
mercial and cultural capital. Israel responded
by moving troops and heavy weapons toward
Gaza and authorizing the call-up of tens of
thousands of reservists.
There was no word on where the two rock-
ets aimed at Tel Aviv landed, raising the pos-
sibility they fell into the Mediterranean. A
third rocket landed in an open area on the
southern outskirts of Tel Aviv.
The fighting, the heaviest in four years,
came after Israel launched a ferocious air
assault Wednesday to stop repeated rocket
fire from Gaza. The powerful Hamas mili-
tary chief was killed in that strike, and anoth-
er 18 Palestinians have died over two days,
including five children. Some 100
Palestinians have been wounded.
Israeli warplanes struck dozens of Hamas-
linked targets in Gaza on Thursday, sending
loud booms echoing across the narrow
Mediterranean coastal strip at regular inter-
vals, followed by gray columns of smoke.
After nightfall, several explosions shook
Gaza City several minutes apart, a sign the
strikes were not letting up, and the military
said the targets were about 70 underground
rocket-launching sites.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu said the army was hitting Hamas
hard with what he called surgical strikes, and
warned of a significant widening of the
Gaza operation. Israel will continue to take
whatever action is necessary to defend our
people, said Netanyahu, who is up for re-
election in January.
There were mounting signs of a ground
operation. At least 12 trucks were seen trans-
porting tanks and armored personnel carriers
toward Gaza late Thursday, and a number of
buses carrying soldiers arrived. Israeli TV
stations said a Gaza incursion was expected
on Friday, though military officials said no
decision had been made.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak said he
authorized the call-up of reservists, and the
army said up to 30,000 additional troops
could be drafted.
We will continue the attacks and we will
increase the attacks, and I believe we will
obtain our objectives, said Lt. Gen. Benny
Gantz, Israels military chief.
Hamas, meanwhile, warned it would strike
deeper inside Israel with Iranian-made Fajr-
5 rockets, acknowledging for the first time it
has such longer-range weapons capable of
hitting targets some 47 miles (75 kilometers)
away. Tel Aviv is 40 miles (70 kilometers)
from Gaza.
By nightfall Thursday, Hamas said it had
fired more than 350 rockets into Israel.
Israel, which estimates Gaza militants have
as many as 12,000 rockets, said some 220
rockets struck the Jewish state and another
130 were intercepted by an anti-missile
shield.
Israel believes Hamas has significantly
boosted its arsenal since the last Gaza war
four years ago, including with weapons from
Iran and from Libyan stockpiles plundered
after the 2011 fall of the regime there.

A rocket red from the Gaza Strip landed close to Tel Aviv on Thursday, in the rst attack on

CAIRO Egypts Islamist president
may hail from the ercely anti-Israeli
Muslim Brotherhood, an ally of Gazas
Hamas rulers. But in his rst major cri-
sis over Israel, he is adopting a stance
not unlike that of his ousted predecessor
Hosni Mubarak, Israels longtime
friend.
After Israel launched its ferocious
campaign of airstrikes and shelling
against Gaza in retaliation for militant
rocket attacks, Mohammed Morsi
recalled Egypts ambassador to Israel in
protest and on Thursday ordered his
prime minister to head to the tiny
Palestinian territory in a symbolic show
of solidarity.
Morsi, Egypts first freely elected
president, is facing calls at home to take
stronger action. But he is just as wary as
Mubarak about
straining ties with
the United States,
Israels top ally.
Moreover, powerful
parts of the Egyptian
ruling establishment
particularly in the
military and the
security forces
deeply oppose
Hamas, and Morsi could face a backlash
if he appears to move too strongly in the
militant groups direction.
In theory, the bloodshed in Gaza
would be an ideal opportunity for Morsi
to let loose against Israel. In past con-
icts between Israel and Arab countries,
his Muslim Brotherhood loudly
denounced Mubarak for too timid a
response, demanding the expulsion of
the Israeli ambassador from Cairo, for
example. The group often accused
Mubarak of toeing Washingtons line on
Israel.
But in his rst public comments on the
crisis, Morsi on Thursday was subdued
and almost conciliatory. He called the
bombardment an unacceptable aggres-
sion but avoided sharp condemnations
of Israel. He expressed support for
Palestinians in Gaza, but made no refer-
ence to Hamas.
We dont accept the continuation of
this (Israeli) threat and aggression
against the people of Gaza, he said in
comments at a Cabinet meeting aired on
state TV. The Israelis must realize that
we dont accept this aggression and that
it can only lead to instability in the
region.
Morsi also said he spoke before dawn
Thursday with President Barack Obama
on stopping the assault and on how
peace and security could be achieved
for everyone without aggression.

Hondas 2013 Accord sedan is handsomely
restyled and re-engineered to be more fuel
efcient and rened than its predecessor, and
it offers more technology, including a standard
rearview camera thats an option on major
competing sedans.
In fact, the new top-level Accord Touring
model comes with standard light-emitting
diode headlamps similar to the ones on Audis.
They are the rst LED headlights on an
Accord and give the Accord a luxe-tech look.
This top Accord also has a rst-ever frontal
collision warning system, and some Accords
are available with a cloud-based HondaLink
system that provides hands-free access to
services, audio and information.
Consumer Reports predicts reliability of the
ve-seat 2013 Accord will be better than aver-
age.
Best of all, the new Accord sedans starting
retail prices of $22,470 with four-cylinder
engine and manual transmission and $23,270
with continuously variable transmission
(CVT) that a driver operates like an automatic
are increased just $200 from the 2012 Accord
starting prices.
Even without factoring in the new standard
equipment, which includes dual-zone, auto-
matic climate control and the 16-inch alloy
wheels on base 2013 Accords, the pricing is
aggressive for Honda.
The competing Toyota Camry, which has
been the top U.S. seller in the segment for
years, has a manufacturers suggested retail
price, including destination charge, of $22,850
for a 2012 four-cylinder model with automat-
ic.
Yet, the base Camry doesnt have standard
dual-zone, automatic climate control or stan-
dard rearview camera, and the base , 16-inch
Camry wheels are steel with wheel covers.
Toyota has not ofcially released details of
its 2013 Camry.
Meantime, the 2013 Hyundai Sonata, which
doesnt have standard alloy wheels, rearview
camera or standard dual-zone, automatic cli-
mate control on lower-trim models, has a start-
ing retail price of $21,770 with automatic
transmission.
With sales of more than 235,000 in calendar
2011, the Accord is Hondas biggest seller.
But following the previous generation Accord
that grew big, bland and cheap-feeling, the
2013 version is critical for Honda.
There are both sedan and coupe
Accords, with four-cylinder and V-6
gasoline engine offerings. Later in the
model year, hybrid Accords are due.
The base, 2.4-liter, double overhead cam
four cylinder with Hondas variable valve
operation called i-VTEC is new and now is
direct injected for sprightly performance.
It helps, too, that the 2013 Accord has been
sized down just a bit its 3.5 inches shorter
in length than its predecessor, for example
and thus has lost a few pounds.
Horsepower now is 185 or 189, depending
on the Accord model, instead of the 177 from
last years four cylinder. The four cylinders
torque increased noticeably to 181 foot-
pounds at 3,900 rpm in the base 2013 Accord
from 161 foot-pounds at 4,300 rpm.
Despite the power improvements, the 2013
Accord has better fuel economy ratings, in
part because the automatic has been dropped
from four cylinder models and replaced by a
CVT, which uses a wide power band, rather
than pre-set gears, to optimize gasoline
mileage.
A 2013 Accord with four cylinder and CVT
is rated by the federal government at 27 miles
per gallon in city driving and 36 mpg on the
highway. This is up from 23/34 mpg from last
years four-cylinder Accord. The 278-horse-
power, 3.5-liter, single overhead cam V-6 that
was in the test Accord Touring sedan, howev-
er, was rated lower at 21/34 mpg and averaged
23.6 mpg in combined city/highway travel.
The V-6 uses regular gasoline.
The V-6 now is mated to a six-speed auto-
matic, rather than a ve-speed, and it worked
with smooth precision in the tester. A driver
can shift gears without a clutch pedal for more
spirited driving.
The new Accord sedan has graceful lines,
but doesnt follow Hyundais Sonata and
Fords Fusion coupe-like rooine.
As a result, seats can be tted more upright,
allowing the 2013 Accords rear-seat legroom
of 38.5 inches vs. the Sonatas 34.6 inches.
Headroom in front and rear is about on par,
and the Accords trunk space of 15.8 cubic
feet is up from last years 14.7 cubic feet but
less than the 16.4 in the Sonata.
The new, front-wheel drive Accord is qui-
eter than the old model, and in the Touring
model, rode smoothly and handled curvy
mountain roads with poise. Steering is a bit on
the light side.
Honda devotees will appreciate the low
cowl which, with slimmer-than-some-com-
petitors metal pillars at the sides of the wind-
shield, gives an airier feel to the front seats.
The middle of the dashboard in the Touring
model commanded attention because it had
not one, but two, large display screens. The
top one handled navigation items.
Accord makes big changes for 2013
The new Accord sedans starting retail prices of $22,470 with four-cylinder engine and manual
transmission and $23,270 with continuously variable transmission (CVT) that a driver operates
like an automatic are increased just $200 from the 2012 Accord starting prices.

Year after year, the glossy food magazines
scream that you have to tart up your turkey
and pimp out your pumpkin pie. But the truth
is, when it comes to Thanksgiving, most of
us dont want exciting, new-fangled dishes.
We want classic, comforting food, the stuff
of Norman Rockwell.
All that malarkey gets in the way of mak-
ing a good Thanksgiving, says Sam Sifton,
author of Thanksgiving: How to Cook it
Well (Random House, 2012). Just make a
good bird. How about we start with excel-
lence on the basics and move beyond there?
You can probably improve on a classic
Thanksgiving, but why?
Thanksgiving exists as much in our minds
as our stomachs, say cookbook authors and
food experts, and its not the day to mess
with peoples expectations. Remember the
year you departed from family tradition by
putting walnuts in the stufng? Or the time
you skipped Grandmas Jell-O mold? Didnt
go so well, did it?
But traditional doesnt have to mean bor-
ing. As with any good meal, experts say start
with excellent ingredients and treat them
well. Vary avors, textures and colors. And
perhaps most important, know your limits.
I suggest to people that they need to be
honest with themselves about what they can
really accomplish, says Jack Bishop, edito-
rial director of Americas Test Kitchen, pub-
lisher of Cooks Illustrated magazine. You
can have this fantasy, but if the reality does
not line up, then youve just created a night-
mare moment rather than a comforting
moment.
If youve only got a day to shop and pre-
pare, Bishop offers, dont make pies. Buy
them, or have a guest bring them. If youve
got one oven, do your mashed sweet potatoes
in the slow cooker, and maybe grill or deep
fry the turkey to free up the oven for other
Thanksgiving is about tradition
By J.M. Hirsch
If you start roasting a 14-pound turkey at
375 F at 7 a.m. and need to feed 15 people
including three vegetarians, a vegan and two
gluten intolerants by 1 p.m., how many
pounds of cranberries do you need if the
stufng is baked outside the bird and the
pumpkin pie is cut into 11.75 equal wedges?
Or am I the only cook who suffers ash-
backs to grade school word problems every
time I try to calculate the many mathematical
angles of assembling Thanksgiving dinner?
Fear not. I took one for the turkey team and
did the math for you, sorting out all the num-
bers you need, from how many people differ-
ent size turkeys feed to how many pounds of
carrots and cans of cranberry sauce youll
want for making sure your crowd leaves the
table stuffed.
And because this is Thanksgiving, all serv-
ing estimates are generous to allow for plen-
ty of seconds and leftovers.
HOW BIG?
For turkeys less than 16 pounds, estimate 1
pound per serving (this accounts for bone
weight). For larger birds, a bit less is ne;
they have a higher meat-to-bone ratio. But if
your goal is to have very ample leftovers, aim

Classic stuffing combination
sausage and pecan
When it comes to Thanksgiving stufng, its
hard to get a more classic avor combination
than sausage and pecans. The result is a salty,
nutty, sweet, crunchy and tender combination
of avors and textures. For simplicity, we bake
our stufng in a side dish, but you could use it
to stuff the bird, too. Just be sure to adjust your
cooking time and make sure the interior tem-
perature reaches a safe 165 F.
SAUSAGE PECAN STUFFING
Start to nish: 1 hour
Servings: 8
12 ounces loose Italian
sausage meat (hot or sweet)
1 large yellow onion,
chopped
2 carrots, nely diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 cup chopped toasted pecans
12-ounce bag seasoned stufng cubes
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken or turkey
broth
Heat the oven to 350 F. Coat a large casserole
dish or 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking
spray.
In a large skillet medium-high heat, saute the
sausage meat, breaking it up as it cooks and
browns, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the onion,
carrots, celery, salt and black pepper. Cook for
another 6 to 8 minutes, or until the onions are
soft and translucent.
In a large bowl, combine the sausage mixture
with the pecans and stufng cubes. In a medi-
um bowl, beat the eggs until foamy, then whisk
in the broth. Pour the egg and broth mixture
over the stufng mixture and gently stir to thor-
oughly mix. Spoon into the prepared casserole
dish or baking pan and bake for 30 minutes, or
until browned and cooked through.

Thanksgiving brief
WEEKEND JOURNAL 23
By Michele Kayal
Perhaps more than any other holi-
day, Thanksgiving is associated with
big family gatherings. But that does-
nt mean you need a house full of in-
laws, uncles and cousins to celebrate
in a meaningful way.
Newlyweds, empty nesters, young
adults on their own, even a couple of
friends can have their turkey and eat
it, too, creating a day that resonates
with their new phase of life and
leaves behind the muss, fuss and has-
sle of the ginormous family blow out.
It really is a time for celebrating,
says Martin Novell, a Los Angeles-
based marriage and family therapist.
Its a time for giving thanks for the
dreams that have been achieved, rec-
ognizing the disappointments and
refocusing on the future by creating
new adventures. And none of that
requires a crowd.
Here are a few expert tips for creat-
ing a festive and memorable holiday
for two:
KEEP IT SIMPLE
When it comes to cooking, take it
down a notch. But dont skimp on
taste or tradition. Roast a turkey
breast instead of the whole bird, says
Betty Crocker Kitchens cookbook
editor Grace Wells, or even Rock
Cornish game hens for a more elegant
presentation. Buy what you can
rolls, mashed potatoes, stufng at
a gourmet shop or supermarket. And
above all, dont make a mess. Why
would you use three pans to make
turkey and gravy? says Julia Collin
Davison, executive food editor of
Americas Test Kitchen books. If
you can do it in one, why not?
RESTRAIN YOURSELF
Remember there are only two of
you. Which doesnt mean you have to
cut out the side dishes you love, says
Davison. It just means you have to
make them in smaller portions, even
if you have to buy the casserole dish-
es to do it. Buy your vegetables in
small amounts too, not in bulk bags.
And perhaps most important,
Davison says, prepare only what
youre really going to eat. Its one
thing to use up a leftover dish, like
mashed butternut squash. But you
have more options if you dont cook
the whole vegetable to begin with,
Julia says. Two people dont really
need a whole pureed butternut
squash.
BE CREATIVE
Pomegranate molasses on the
turkey? Coconut milk in the gravy?
Go for it. Its just the two of you, so
whos going to complain? Youre
not cooking for a crowd, so you can
take some chances, Davison says.
You can push the limits a little bit.
Ditto for the leftovers. I always
love the leftover Thanksgiving meal
the next day, the plate you shove in
the microwave, she says. But thats
good for one day.
Branch out with your leftovers and
make turkey curry, turkey soba noo-
dle salad or a turkey gratin, a creamy
stew topped with big hunks of your
leftover baguette.
MAKE IT FESTIVE
Go full force on the holiday trap-
pings, says Betty Crockers Wells.
Pull out the beautiful tablecloth and
matching napkins, the china and the
crystal. If youre newlyweds or baby
boomers or somewhere in between,
you probably have nice dishes, she
says. Create a centerpiece with can-
dles and gourds, or buy a beautiful
ower arrangement. Maybe even
have a favor at each of your place set-
tings a favorite treat, a small book
or gift of some kind.
HAVE FUN
Youre not busy pleasing 15 rela-
tives, so use that extra time for
leisure, not for cooking or washing
dishes. Go for a walk, take a hike, lis-
ten to some favorite music or go to a
movie. Because youre not prepping a
dozen side dishes and three or four
pies, you can even use the days lead-
ing up to the holiday for exciting
activities. One of the things a good
marriage does is they spend a lot of
together time, says Novell, who rec-
ommends, for instance, using the
days before Thanksgiving to search
for a great new wine to have with the
meal. So Thanksgiving isnt only the
holiday thats on Nov. 22, but its a
holiday that starts way before that.
ONE-PAN
THANKSGIVING DINNER
A well-executed dinner for two can
require as much planning as a feast
for a crowd. Our intimate take on the
traditional Thanksgiving to feed
two instead of a large family is
constructed so the entire meal is
assembled and cooked together in
one pan.
We make the stufng from dinner
rolls; use the same variety you buy to
serve with the meal. We season the
roasted vegetables and stufng with a
sage compound butter that also can
be served at the table. The turkey ten-
derloin, though not as impressive as a
full bird, gets a avorful quick brine
and a Parmesan crust. Best of all, you
wont have a mountain of dishes to
clean up.
So why does our dinner for two
make four servings? Because it
wouldnt be Thanksgiving without
leftovers.
Start to nish: 1 1/2 (45 minutes
active)
Servings: 4
For the sage compound butter:
2 tablespoons minced fresh sage
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) salted butter,
softened
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
For the turkey:
1 1/2 pounds turkey tenderloin
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup apple cider
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 grated Parmesan cheese
For the stufng:
4 dinner rolls, diced
1 small carrot, grated
2 tablespoons dried cranberries
1/4 cup chopped toasted pecans,
optional
1/2 cup chicken or turkey broth
Salt and ground black pepper
For the roasted vegetables:
2 medium Yukon gold potatoes,
diced
1 cup diced butternut squash
1 small red onion, cut into wedges
1 cup Brussels sprouts, halved
For the gravy:
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, soft-
ened
2 tablespoons all-purpose our
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
First, prepare the butter. In a small
bowl, stir together the sage, butter
and lemon zest. Set aside.

minus the big crowd
A well-executed dinner for two can require as much planning as a feast for
a crowd.
See DINNER, Page 24
By Alison Ladman
The turkey may be the center-
piece, but a classic Thanksgiving
dinner simply isnt complete with-
out a bevy of traditional sides. To
accompany our cider-brined bird,
we went with a gently sweet cran-
berry sauce cooked with peaches for
a delicate texture and fruitiness to
balance the tart berries. For the
mashed potatoes, we kept it basic
sour cream, butter and chives but
delicious.
And because you can never have
enough carbs at Thanksgiving
(Stufng! Mashed potatoes! Rolls!
Cranberry sauce!), we added a sec-
ond variety of potatoes herb-
crusted sweet potatoes.
PEACH CRANBERRY SAUCE
Start to nish: 15 minutes
Servings: 6
12-ounce bag fresh cranberries
10-ounce bag frozen peaches,
chopped
Zest and juice of 2 oranges
3/4 cup sugar
Pinch salt
In a medium saucepan over medi-
um heat, combine all ingredients.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the
cranberries pop and the mixture has
reduced to a thick sauce, about 10
minutes. Allow to cool.
SOUR CREAM AND
CHIVE MASHED POTATOES
Servings: 8
4 pounds red potatoes
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter,
room temperature
1 cup sour cream
1/3 cup chopped fresh chives
Peel half of the potatoes. Place of
the potatoes in a large pot, then add
enough water to cover them by 1
inch. Cover the pan and set over
medium-high. Bring the water to a
simmer and cook until tender, about
20 to 25 minutes. Thoroughly drain
the potatoes, then return them to the
pot.
Set the pot over low heat and cook
for 1 to 2 minutes, shaking or stir-
ring the potatoes to dry them. Using
a masher, roughly mash the pota-
toes, then stir in the butter and sour
cream. Season with salt and pepper,
then stir in the chives.
HERB CRUSTED
SWEET POTATOES
Servings: 8
4 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled
and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rose-
mary
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
Heat the oven to 350 F. Coat a
large casserole dish or a 9-by-13-
inch baking pan with cooking spray.
Place the potatoes in a large
saucepan and add enough water to
cover by 1 inch. Add 2 teaspoons of
salt and bring to a boil. Cook until
rm-tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain
the potatoes, then spread them in an
even layer in the prepared casserole
dish or baking pan.
In a small bowl, combine 1/2 tea-
spoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pep-
per, the panko, thyme, rosemary and
sage. Sprinkle over the sweet pota-
toes. Drizzle the melted butter over
the crumbs and bake for 30 minutes,
or until golden brown and tender.
Great turkey sides
Make a gently sweet cranberry sauce cooked with peaches for a delicate
texture and fruitiness to balance the tart berries.

for 1 1/2 pounds per person no matter
how big the turkey is.
For 8 people, buy a 12-pound turkey
For 12 people, buy an 18-pound
turkey
THE BIG THAW
The safest way to thaw a frozen turkey
is in the refrigerator. Youll need about 24
hours per 4 to 5 pounds of turkey. For
speedier thawing, put the turkey in a sink
of cold water. Change the water every 30
minutes, and plan for about 30 minutes
per pound.
THE BRINE
A good brine uses kosher salt and sugar
in a 1-to-1 ratio, and usually no more than
1 cup of each. Feel free to add any other
seasonings. Brines typically are made by
heating the salt, sugar and seasonings
with a bit of water until dissolved. This
mixture then is diluted with additional
cold water (volume will vary depending
on the size of your bird). Be certain the
brine is completely cooled before adding
the turkey.
Turkeys should be brined for at least 8
to 10 hours, but can go as long as 72
hours. A good rule of thumb is, the longer
the brine, the weaker the brine. So for a
10-hour soak, use 1 cup each of salt and
sugar. For a longer one, consider backing
down to 3/4 cup each.
Always keep the bird refrigerated dur-
ing brining. If the turkey is too big, an ice-
lled cooler stored outside works, too.
THE ROAST
Roasting temperatures vary widely by
recipe. Some go at a slow and steady 325
F. Others crank the heat to 400 F or 425 F
for the rst hour, then drop it down for
the rest of the time.
However you roast, use
an instant ther-
mometer inserted
at the innermost
part of the thigh
(without touch-
ing bone) to
determine when
your turkey is
done. The
m e a t
needs to hit
165 F for safe
e a t i n g ,
t h o u g h
some people say thigh meat
tastes better at 170 F.
If the outside of the bird gets too dark
before the center reaches the proper tem-
perature, cover it with foil.
The following roasting time estimates
are based on a stuffed turkey cooked at
325 F. Reduce cooking time by 20 to 40
minutes for turkeys that are not stuffed
(estimate total roasting times at 15 min-
utes per pound for unstuffed birds). And
remember, a crowded oven cooks more
slowly, so plan ahead if your bird needs to
share the space.
12-pound turkey: 3 to 4 hours at 325 F
15-pound turkey: 4 to 4 1/2 hours at
325 F
18-pound turkey: 4 1/2 to 5 hours at
325 F
20-pound turkey: 5 to 6 hours at 325 F
THE BASTE
Basting the bird with its juices helps
crisp the skin and avor the meat. Do it
every 30 minutes, but no more.
Opening the oven door too fre-
quently lets heat escape and
can significantly slow the
cooking.
THE REST
The turkey never
should go directly
from the oven to the
table. Like most
meat, it needs to rest
before serving for the
juices to redistribute.
Cover the turkey with
foil and a few bath towels
layered over that (to keep it
warm), then let it rest for 20 to
30 minutes.
THE SIDES
Carrots: a 1-pound bag makes 4 to 5
servings
Cranberry sauce: a 12-ounce package
of fresh cranberries makes about 2 1/4
cups of sauce; a 16-ounce can has 6 serv-
ings
Gravy: plan for 1/3 cup of gravy per
person
Green beans: 1 1/2 pounds of beans
makes 6 to 8 servings
Mashed potatoes: a 5-pound bag of
potatoes makes 10 to 12 servings
Stufng: a 14-ounce bag of stufng
makes about 11 servings
THE LEFTOVERS
For food safety reasons, leftovers
should be cleared from the table and
refrigerated within two hours of being
served. Once refrigerated, they should be
consumed within three to four days.
Leftovers can be frozen for three to four
months. Though safe to consume after
four months, they will start to taste off.
MATH
things. Do as much as you can the
soup, the cranberry sauce before-
hand.
Use your time and your money
wisely by investing in the best possible
ingredients. If you buy a pie, buy a good
pie. If you make one, use European but-
ter and the crispest apples you can nd.
Make your cornbread stufng with real
eggs and butter and get the andouille
from the local specialty shop. And
remember that the absolute last place to
cut back is the turkey.
The turkey has to be the star of the
show, says Rick Rodgers, author of
Thanksgiving 101 (William Morrow,
2007) and most recently the editor of
The Essential James Beard Cookbook
(St. Martins Press, 2012). That means
choose it carefully. That means a fresh
turkey. I never use a frozen turkey. The
cost of a fresh turkey has come way
down. Once a year youre going to roast
a turkey. Would it kill you to buy a nice
one?
And remember that little things
things that take no time at all can
make the meal exciting and special.
Fresh out of the oven rolls. Really
good local butter. A wine that you
would never serve unless its a holi-
day, Rodgers says. Homemade cran-
berry sauce. I repeat, homemade. Its
so easy to make and its delicious. One
day out of the year, why open a can
when it takes you 5 minutes to make
it? Its just little things like that that
make it a special meal.
Plan the menu well, anticipating how
all the dishes go together so that the
meal doesnt run together into one bland
sensation. You dont want to make
three potato dishes, Bishop says. You
need to think about how the avors and
colors and textures are going to work on
the plate. You dont want four starchy,
creamy, buttery things, as delicious as
that sounds.
But dont skip the starchy, creamy,
buttery things, they all agree.
Thanksgiving is a day of indulgence, a
national day of dietary absolution. So
use real cream and real butter. Forget
about Uncle Mortys high blood pres-
sure and salt the food until it tastes good.
Use real sugar in the desserts.
Its Thanksgiving, Sifton says. You
can have a salad tomorrow.
TRADITION
Second, brine the turkey while preparing the rest of the dinner.
In a large zip-close plastic bag, combine the turkey tenderloin,
soy sauce, maple syrup, cider and black pepper. Refrigerate for 1
hour (or up to overnight).
Heat the oven to 400 F.
Next, make the stufng. In a 9-by-13-inch baking pan, spread
the diced dinner rolls in an even layer. Place in the oven to toast
for 10 minutes.
Transfer the toasted diced dinner rolls to a medium bowl and
toss with 1 tablespoon of the reserved sage butter so that it melts
into the hot bread. Toss in the grated carrot, cranberries, pecans
and broth. Season with salt and pepper. Coat the 9-by-13-inch
pan with cooking spray, then spoon the stufng into one half of
the pan, arranging it in an even layer.
In the bowl that you made the stufng, prepare the vegetables.
Toss together the diced potatoes, squash, red onion and Brussels
sprouts. Add 1 tablespoon more of the reserved sage butter and
sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss together, then spoon the veg-
etables into the other half of the prepared pan.
To nish preparing the turkey, in a shallow dish, such as a pie
plate, stir together the panko and the Parmesan. Remove the
turkey from the brine, discarding the brine. Dredge the turkey
through the panko-Parmesan mixture, pressing it into the the
meat. Place the turkey over the stufng. Roast for 1 hour, or until
the vegetables are browned and tender and the turkey reaches
160 F.
During the nal 15 minutes of roasting, prepare the gravy. In a
small saucepan over medium-high, heat the broth until boiling.
In a small bowl, mix the butter and our to form a paste. Whisk
the butter mixture into the boiling broth, then reduce heat to
maintain a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, or until thickened.
Whisk in the balsamic vinegar and poultry seasoning, then sea-
son with salt and pepper.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
As the days get shorter and the
nal yellow leaves cling to their
branches, autumn can also be seen in
the world of craft beer. Most notable
for capturing falls avors are pump-
kin ales, the popularity of which has
grown exponentially in recent years.
When I think of pumpkin ale, the
rst beer that comes to mind is
Dogsh Heads Punkin Ale (7 per-
cent abv). This beer captures the
essence of what you should expect.
The taste of pumpkin comes through
clearly and it is offset by all the sea-
sonal avors you would expect: nut-
meg, allspice, ginger and clove. It
achieves this without becoming too
sweet and overly cloying.
What makes this better is that it
doesnt break the bank. Although it
comes in a four-pack, Punkin is rea-
sonable enough for the quality of the
brew.
On the ip side, one bottle of Jolly
Pumpkin Artisan Ales La Parcela
Pumpkin Ale No. 1 (6 percent abv)
costs more than two six-packs of
Punkin and leaves you more than a
little disappointed. Although many
beers from Jolly Pumpkin display
gourds on their label, only La
Parcela actually contains pumpkin.
While the beer has a crisp green
apple taste, those looking for pump-
kin should save their money and
look elsewhere. Buffalo Bills
Pumpkin Ale (5.2 percent abv) is not
bad for your money and for many it
is the bellwether for the seasonal
treat despite the fact it is produced
year round.
The Hayward brewers iconic
black case, adorned with orange
typography and pumpkins, lacks the
punch it deserves. You can taste the
pumpkin and some spice but it is
muted and not as intense as it should
be.
Bringing the pumpkin avor more
to the forefront is Sam Adams
Harvest Pumpkin Ale (5.7 percent
abv). This beer also has a clove/cin-
namon spice that pushes this toward
a pie avor and carries the beer.
By contrast, Shipyard Brewing
Companys Pumpkinhead Ale (5.1
percent abv) tastes, at best, of raw
pumpkin with little spice.
Pumpkinhead is one to avoid unless
you want an affordable sixer with
upside-down labels.
Pumpkinhead was also a huge let-
down seeing as Shipyard also brews
one of my favorite seasonal beers:
Smashed Pumpkin (9 percent abv).
Smashed Pumpkin has the best of
everything already mentioned but
hits with a healthy handful of hop.
The citrus avor from a variety of
hop brings the fruit sweetness out
and adds a dimension to the style
that sets it apart.
This year, Uintas Crooked Line
series put out Oak Jacked Imperial
Pumpkin Ale (10.31 percent abv).
Aging the ale in oak barrels makes
this one unique: The wood imparts a
vanilla avor that complements the
ales pumpkin pie avors. With a
slightly higher alcohol content, the
result is a boozy pumpkin pie, how-
ever, all you get in the aftertaste is
pumpkin.
Moving farther away from a tradi-
tional pumpkin ale is Midnight
Suns Treat (7.8 percent abv). This
porter is made with pumpkin, cocoa
nibs, cinnamon, clove and nutmeg.
A roasted coffee/chocolate avor
dominates but as it warms, however,
a lingering pumpkin pie flavor
comes through on the back of your
tongue. Really more of a decadent
dark beer, those seeking out pump-
kin shouldnt miss this one.
For a completely different experi-
ence, try a cider. Ace Hard Pumpkin
Cider (5 percent abv) complements
pumpkin in a sweet way. Made with
apples, pumpkin and allspice, you
get the pumpkin/pie taste with the
sweetness of a cider. While it may be
more of a hard pumpkin soda, dont
discount this beverage.

ARUGULA PEAR SALAD
WITH GOAT CHEESE AND
POMEGRANATE VINAIGRETTE
Servings: 10
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 large pears, cored and sliced
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup sliced dried apricots
1/2 cup pomegranate juice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pep-
per
Pinch of ground allspice
1/4 cup olive oil
10-ounce container baby arugula
4 ounces soft goat cheese, crum-
bled
In a large skillet over medium-high
heat, combine the butter and cin-
namon. When the butter has
melted, add the pears and saute
until they are softened, about 5
minutes. Add the cranberries and
apricots, then cook for another
minute. Set aside off the heat.
In a blender, combine the pome-
granate juice, red wine vinegar,
sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper,
allspice and olive oil. Blend until
well combined.
In a large bowl, arrange the
arugula. Top the greens with the
sauteed pear mixture, then the
crumbled goat cheese. Serve the
vinaigrette on the side.
To stand out in a Thanksgiving spread,a salad must be bold and avorful.
Yet it should not compete with the other avors on the table

A classic Thanksgiving dinner is only com-
plete with the classic nish an aromatic
pumpkin pie rich with cinnamon, ginger and
nutmeg, and topped with pillowy soft mounds
of whipped cream. To sweeten both the pie
and the cream, we turned to maple syrup,
which complements the other ingredients
with a rich, but still subtle sweetness.
MAPLE PUMPKIN PIE WITH
CINNAMON-MAPLE WHIPPED CREAM
Start to nish: 1 hour 15 minutes
Servings: 8
For the pie:
9-inch prepared deep-dish pie crust in a pan
15-ounce can pumpkin puree
1 cup grade B maple syrup
1 cup heavy cream
4 eggs
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon dried ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Pinch salt
For the whipped cream:
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar
Heat the oven to 350 F. Place the pie crust
on a baking sheet.
To make the pie lling, in a medium bowl,
whisk together the pumpkin puree, maple
syrup, heavy cream, eggs, cinnamon, ginger,
nutmeg and salt. Pour into the prepared pie
crust. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the
center is just barely set. Set on a rack to cool
completely.
When ready to serve, make the whipped
cream. In a medium bowl, whisk together the
heavy cream, cinnamon and maple sugar until
the cream forms soft peaks. Serve alongside
the pie.

minorities.
When Measure B passed, common
wisdom echoed Wagstaffes thought that
the pending change made the lawsuit
unnecessary because there would be
nothing left for the legal system to recti-
fy.
Not so, said Robert Rubin, lead attor-
ney for the plaintiffs and director of the
California Voting Rights Institute of the
Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights.
The more important point of the law-
suit is that it seeks to cure the discrimi-
natory effect of the system. We dont
know if that has been achieved because
the county can easily dilute the votes of
Asian and Latino voters through gerry-
mandered district lines, Rubin said.
According to Rubin, the county cant
simply use the residency lines used to
establish that a supervisor lives in a spe-
cic jurisdiction. The lines may very
well end up the same or close to it, he
said, but they must rst be legally estab-
lished as the district election boundaries.
The suit, led on behalf of residents,
Ray Satorre, Bradley Roxas, Joseph
Otayde, Mario Panoringan, Violeta
Ortega and Johanna Sandoval, contend-
ed that although Latinos and Asians
make up approximately 25 percent of the
countys population, only one Latino has
held a seat since 1995 and no Asians.
Rubin also points out that while
Measure B was the will of the majority,
it did not share the same support among
the countys leadership.
We should be clear it was the lawsuit
that prompted this change. The supervi-
sors had turned this down several times
and only after the lawsuit was it submit-
ted. The idea was opposed to four out of
ve supervisors so it is no question it
was against their will, Rubin said.
San Mateo County voters twice
defeated measures to change its election
system, the only one of the 58 counties
to elect supervisors countywide rather
than by districts. A 2010 Charter Review
Committee including now-Supervisor
Dave Pine recommended the county put
the question to voters again but the
Board of Supervisors declined. The law-
suit was led in April 2011 and, earlier
this year, board President Adrienne
Tissier suggested Measure B although
nobody would say concretely it was a
move to halt the lawsuit. Pine lobbied in
favor of the change while Supervisor
Carole Groom signed the opposition bal-
lot statement and the rest of the board
took no ofcial stance prior to Nov. 6.
The lawsuit is currently scheduled for
trial in February. A judge in August pur-
posely delayed the previously set date
until after the election as not to possibly
inuence voters.
Rubin said the two sides could stave
off a courtroom battle by settling with
the county submitting lines for consider-
ation by the plaintiffs. If that does not
happen, Rubin said they are prepared to
head into court with a very strong case.
Wagstaffe, who believes the county
would have prevailed in court if Measure
B had not been proposed and passed,
said heading to court is a waste of time
and money.
It does seem to me an example of
people asking to litigate when in fact it is
not at all necessary, Wagstaffe said.
Hopefully, the county and the court will
nd no reason to create work for itself.
The county last drew district lines in
September 2011 as mandated after the
U.S. Census numbers were released. The
changes moved a piece of San Mateo
from District One to District Two and a
piece of Belmont from District Two to
District Three. The result left District
One with 139,933 people, District Two
with 147,731, District Three with
143,936, District Four with 143,443 and
District Five with 143,408.
The Board of Supervisor in closed ses-
sion Tuesday will discuss the pending
suit.
If the sides do end up in court, it
wouldnt be a rst for the group which is
known for its staunch support of the vot-
ing act. It has sued other governmental
agencies in the past and though the city
of Modesto challenged one lawsuit, it
ultimately failed, costing the city $3 mil-
lion in legal fees.
To date, San Mateo County has spent
$293,567 in outside legal fees defending
itself in the suit, said county spokesman
Marshall Wilson.
SUIT
tinue to help California grow and thrive.
Many Democrats are anticipating what
the party can do now that they no longer
need Republican votes.
Steinberg suggested changing the
states tax structure, restoring money to
social services and modifying the ballot
initiative process by requiring propo-
nents to work with legislators to ne-tune
their proposals and ensuring that initia-
tives expire after a certain number of
years.
He also said Democrats could use their
two-thirds majorities to place a measure
on the ballot seeking to legalize same-sex
marriage by overturning Proposition 8 if
the U.S. Supreme Court eventually
upholds Californias constitutional ban.
Steinberg cited as an example of
potential over-reaching Democratic state
Sen. Ted Lieus support for an effort to
triple the states vehicle license fee.
Assemblyman Jim Nielsen, R-Gerber,
said he does not trust Democrats to keep
themselves in check.
I think some of these folks are genet-
ically incapable of scal prudence. The
spending will outgrow whatever surplus-
es we have, said Nielsen, who has been
the Assembly Republicans point person
on the budget.
The legislative supermajority will let
Democrats unilaterally raise taxes, if
they choose, for the rst time since
California voters passed Proposition 13
in 1978. The landmark initiative
increased the legislative vote threshold to
pass tax increases to two-thirds.
The central provision of Proposition
13, which rolled back property taxes and
strictly limited their annual increases,
also could come under review by
Democrats. Some Democrats say they
favor placing a measure on the ballot that
would ask voters if they want to raise the
limit on annual property tax increases for
corporations, while leaving the limit in
place for homeowners.
Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San
Francisco, said the supermajority
breathes new life into his proposal to
tweak Proposition 13 to prevent corpora-
tions from avoiding tax increases when
properties change hands.
The two-thirds majorities also give
Democrats the ability to override guber-
natorial vetoes, such as the one earlier
this year on an Ammiano bill that would
have provided overtime pay, meal breaks
and other labor protections to caregivers,
nannies and house cleaners.
Yet there have been no overrides since
1979, during Browns rst tenure as gov-
ernor, and lawmakers risk undermining a
governor of their own party if they use it.
Its kind of like Christmas, Ammiano
said of the supermajority. The gifts
under the tree look really nice and youre
happy. But when you open up the gifts,
you have to be pretty judicious.
The Assembly will need to follow the
governors guidance and not go too far,
said Speaker John Perez, D-Los Angeles.
We need to be very responsible with
the limited resources that the state has,
and we need to be thoughtful about mak-
ing decisions that create the opportuni-
ties to grow jobs and get people back to
work in the state, Perez said Thursday in
a telephone interview.
There is no interest in raising taxes
beyond those just approved by voters, he
said.
Voters passed Browns Proposition 30,
which increases the state sales tax for
four years and income taxes on those
making more than $250,000 a year for
seven years. Voters also approved a sepa-
rate initiative that will send $1 billion
more per year to the general fund by
closing a corporate tax loophole.
Perez also noted that Democrats will
lack their two-thirds majorities for much
of the next year as two incumbent sena-
tors leave for Congress and Assembly
members run for their vacant seats and
for the Los Angeles city council.
DEMS
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2012
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Although you might be
the recipient of an interesting proposal, in order to
take advantage of it, you might have to disengage
yourself from a previous commitment.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Even though your
compassionate nature urges you to make a loan to
a friend who is a poor prospect, it would be better
for you to follow your less generous, more pragmatic
instincts.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Try not to get impa-
tient with some friends who are not living up to your
expectations. Things will get better eventually, so bite
the bullet and hang on until they do.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You could fnd
yourself in a ticklish position where youll be eager
to reveal something that was told to you in strict
confdence. Others will respect you more if you keep
your trap shut.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If you want to do
something that is a trife expensive and you have the
money to do it, thats well and good. Just dont bor-
row what you dont have to bankroll your fun.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Although youll expect
others to live up to their words, you might not feel
the necessity for you to do the same. Life should be a
give-and-take situation, not a lopsided arrangement.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It is more important
than usual to keep pace with your duties and re-
sponsibilities. If you should fall behind, youll quickly
discover how extremely diffcult it is to catch up.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The very people you
dont count on will be the ones who are likely to step
forward and support you in your endeavors. Those
upon whom you usually rely might not lift a fnger.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It isnt advisable for
you to seek advice from too many different people.
Unfortunately, all that might do is make it diffcult to
discern the good counsel from the bad.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If you are hawking some-
thing that requires a sales pitch, its imperative that
you know when to call a halt to your presentation.
Theres a possibility that you could talk yourself out
of a deal.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Dont ignore your better
judgment and common sense when you are trying to
make a bargain. If you pay more for something than you
should, its apt to be your, not the salespersons, fault.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Your fnancial aspects
are exceptionally good, making it a juicy time to
do something proftable, even if you unconsciously
strew your path with unnecessary obstacles.

TENTIAL BIDDERS If you are consider-
ing bidding on this property lien, you
should understand that there are risks in-
volved in bidding at a trustee auction.
You will be bidding on a lien, not on a
property itself. Placing the highest bid at
a trustee auction does not automatically
entitle you to free and clear ownership of
the property. You should also be aware
that the lien being auctioned off may be a
junior lien. If you are the highest bidder
at the auction, you are or may be respon-
sible for paying off all liens senior to the
lien being auctioned off, before you can
receive clear title to the property. You
are encouraged to investigate the exis-
tence, priority, and size of outstanding
liens that may exist on this property by
contacting the county recorder's office or
a title insurance company, either of
which may charge you a fee for this infor-
mation. If you consult either of these re-
sources, you should be aware that the
lender may hold more than one mort-
gage or deed of trust on the property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER The
sale date shown on this notice of sale
may be postponed one or more times by
the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a
court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the

WORLD
By Pan Pylas
LONDON The 17-country
eurozone has fallen back into reces-
sion for the rst time in three years
as the fallout from the regions
financial crisis was felt from
Amsterdam to Athens.
And with surveys pointing to
increasingly depressed conditions
across the 17-member group at a
time of austerity and high unem-
ployment, the recession is forecast
to deepen, and make the debt crisis
which has been calmer of late
even more difcult to handle.
Ofcial gures Thursday showed
that the eurozone contracted by 0.1
percent in the July to September
period from the quarter before as
economies including Germany and
the Netherlands suffer from falling
demand.
The decline reported by Eurostat,
the EUs statistics ofce, was in line
with market expectations and fol-
lows on from the 0.2 percent fall
recorded in the second quarter. As a
result, the eurozone is technically in
recession, commonly dened as two
straight quarters of falling output.
The eurozone economy shrank at
annual rate of 0.2 percent during the
July-September quarter, according
to calculations by Capital
Economics.
The eurozone economy will con-
tinue its decline in Q4 and probably
well into 2013 too a good back-
drop for another debt crisis, said
Michael Taylor, an economist at
Lombard Street Research.
Because of the eurozones gruel-
ing three-year debt crisis, the region
has been the major focus of concern
for the world economy. The euro-
zone economy is worth around
(euro) 9.5 trillion, or $12.1 trillion,
which puts it on a par with the U.S.
The region, with its 332 million
people, is the U.S.s largest export
customer, and any fall-off in
demand will hit order books.
While the U.S has managed to
bounce back from its own recession
in 2008-09, albeit inconsistently,
and China continues to post strong
growth, Europes economies have
been on a downward spiral and
there is little sign of any improve-
ment in the near-term. Last week,
the European Unions executive arm
forecast the eurozones economy
would shrink 0.4 percent this year.
Then only a meager 0.1 percent
growth in 2013.
The eurozone had avoided return-
ing to recession since the nancial
crisis following the collapse of U.S.
investment bank Lehman Brothers,
mainly thanks to the strength of its
largest single economy, Germany.
But even that country is now
struggling as exports drain in light
of the economic problems aficting
large chunks of the eurozone.
Germanys economy grew 0.2
percent in the third quarter, down
from a 0.3 percent increase in the
previous quarter. Over the past year,
Germanys annual growth rate has
more than halved to 0.9 percent
from 1.9 percent.
Eurozone slides back into recession France explores idea
of arming Syrian rebels
PARIS France raised the possi-
bility Thursday of sending defen-
sive weapons to Syrias rebels, but
Russia warned that such a move
would violate international law.
French Foreign Minister Laurent
Fabius said his country will ask the
European Union to consider lifting
the Syrian arms embargo, which
prevents weapons from being sent to
either side.
We must not militarize the con-
ict ... but its obviously unaccept-
able that there are liberated zones
and theyre bombed by President
Bashar Assads regime, Fabius said
in an interview with RTL radio. We
have to nd a good balance.
The civil war in Syria, which
began as an uprising against Assads
regime, has killed more than 36,000
Syrians since March 2011, accord-
ing to anti-government activists.
Around the world
The eurozone economy will continue its
decline in Q4 and probably well into 2013
too a good backdrop for another debt crisis.
