San Carlos ofcials called off

Mayor Bob

San Francisco.
After the meet-

Journal he was glad to see the
CPUC stand behind the city and
they will meet again Thursday to
discuss next steps.
PG&E has a gap of communica-
tion and trust because of the dead-
ly San Bruno explosion in 2010
and subsequent record keeping
snafus, Grassilli said.
The City Council declared the
state of emergency Friday night
after the city learned of internal
PG&E concerns about the Line

With a tax set to expire next
spring, the Millbrae City Council
approved an agreement with
Ground Floor Public Affairs to pro-
ceed with plans to educate the pub-
lic on the citys nancial history
and economic development.
At its meeting Tuesday night,
the council voted 5-0 for a
$30,000, four-month partnership
with the public relations rm to
work on the Millbrae Financial
Sustainability Program.
The citys fire suppression
assessment tax is up June 30,
2013 and the tax is a potential
June ballot measure. Millbrae vot-
ers originally passed the $144
annual fee for re services on sin-
gle-family homes in 2004 as one
solution to address the citys budg-
et crisis, which began in 2001. It
was extended in 2009 and the tax
brings in about $1.2 million per
year to the general fund, according
to a staff report.
City Attorney Joan Cassman
said its not a ballot measure yet
and hiring the rm is one piece of
a bigger pie. The city is looking at
its nancial situation and plans to
educate the public on city govern-
ment nances. The city is even
looking at increasing utility
costs, as sales and hotel taxes uc-
tuate, she said.
As we as cities move forward,
there are infrastructure needs to
address, Cassman said. So we
need to get the message out to the
public. We dont have the

Furloughed NASA Ames employees and their families led by NASA Ames Federal Employee Union members held
an informational picket and rally at the main gate of NASA Ames Research Center yesterday at noon.The federal
government shutdown has forced the furlough of 1,150 employees who normally work on projects related to
space exploration and technology, earth, space and life sciences, astrobiology and aviation safety and other
aviation system improvements.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama and lawmakers must
rise above their incessant bicker-
ing and do more to end the partial
government shutdown, according
to a poll Wednesday that places
the brunt of the blame on
Republicans but finds no one
standing tall in Washington.
So frustrating, Martha Blair,
71, of Kerrville, Texas, said of the
scal paralysis as her scheduled
national parks vacation sits in
limbo. Somebody needs to jerk
those guys together to get a solu-
tion, instead
of just saying
no.

expectations
by many in
Was hi ngt on
Republicans among them
that the GOP may end up taking
the biggest hit in public opinion
from the shutdown, as happened
when much of the government
closed 17 years ago. But the situa-
tion is uid nine days into the
shutdown and theres plenty of dis-
dain to go around.
Overall, 62 percent mainly
blamed Republicans for the shut-
down. About half said Obama or
the Democrats in Congress bear
much responsibility.
Most Americans consider the
shutdown a serious problem for
the country, the poll nds, though
more than four in ve have felt no
personal effect. For those who
have, thwarted vacations and a
honeymoon at shuttered national
parks, difculty getting work done
without federal contacts on the job
and hitches in government bene-
ts were among the complaints.

Indiana dog that crashed
half-marathon gets medal
EVANSVILLE, Ind. An Indiana dog
who became an Internet sensation after
crashing a half marathon has won a
medal and an appointment with a vet-
erinarian to nip his wandering ways in
the bud.
The chocolate Labrador retriever
named Boogie ran most of the 13.1
miles in Saturdays Evansville event and
then was taken to Animal Control.
Owner Jerry Butts tells the Evansville
Courier & Press that the 100-pound dog
slipped his leash Friday night. It was his
fourth escape.
Butts says Boogie now has a
microchip and an appointment to be
neutered.
Boogie nished the race in 2 hours, 15
minutes. Thats better than more than
half of the races participants.
Old cast-off: Mastodon
tooth found in donation box
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. A
Michigan charity that collects donated
clothing, shoes and other items for low-
income residents got a really old cast-off
in a donation box: Amastodon tooth.
The remains of the extinct relative of
the elephant turned up during a July pick-
up in Grand Rapids, The Grand Rapids
Press reported. The tooth pieces and tusk
are estimated to be anywhere from
12,000 to 15,000 years old. The
Christian charity, called In The Image,
turned the nd over to the Grand Rapids
Public Museum, which is adding them to
its collection.
Id love to nd out where this was
from and the history behind it, said Jay
Starkey, the charitys director.
The tooth is broken into two parts and
is covered in lacquer. Atusk, also covered
in lacquer, is hollow at one end and also
may be from a mastodon.
The animals roamed North America
more than 10,000 years ago, and their
remains turn up from time to time in
Michigan usually buried underground.
The museum already has a number of
mastodon bones and the new additions
will be available for loan to educators for
use as a learning tool in schools.
This is kind of an oddball way for
something to come in, said Tim Priest,
collections manager.
For the charity, the discovery is one of
many odd donations to come in. Drugs
are a common nd, Starkey said. It once
got a painting worth about $5,000 that
ended up being donated to the museum.
And it also has received an urn with
someones ashes inside.
New York police: 70-foot-long
mobile home stolen from lot
HAMPTON, N.Y. Police in a rural
upstate New York town are looking for a
70-foot-long mobile home that was
stolen from a diners parking lot.
The Washington County sheriffs
ofce tells The Post-Star of Glens Falls
that the mobile home had been placed on
a trailer that was parked at a diner in the
town of Hampton awaiting delivery to
neighboring Vermont.
Investigators say the owner had to
have emergency surgery and when he
came back to Hampton a few weeks later,
the trailer with the $50,000, partially
furnished mobile home was gone.
Police say someone apparently
hitched a truck to the trailer and towed it
away late on the afternoon of Sept. 23,
when a witness reported seeing it headed
toward Vermont.
Not guilty plea entered
for Odom in DUI case
LOS ANGELES NBA player Lamar
Odom has pleaded not guilty to a misde-
meanor count of driving under the inu-
ence in connection with his arrest in
August.
Odom didnt appear in court for the
arraignment Wednesday and his attorney
entered the plea on his behalf. Apretrial
hearing was set for Nov. 8.
The DUI charge against the 33-year-
old former Los Angeles Lakers and
Clippers player includes an allegation
that Odom refused to take a chemical
test. According to California law, a
motorist forfeits their license for a year
if they refuse a breath or blood test.
He was arrested Aug. 30 after his
Mercedes-Benz SUV was spotted weav-
ing on a freeway in the Studio City sec-
tion of Los Angeles.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The Belmont Sports Complex will
retain a dirt pitching mound in the warmer
months while the remaining field is a
modern synthetic turf, the City Council
decided in a split vote.
With Councilman Dave Warden dissent-
ing, the council voted 4-1 to back the
field conversion plan recommended by the
Planning Commission and city staff. The
plan will require a portable pitching
mound during the fall baseball season and
city staff argued it reduced operations and
maintenance costs while being flexible
for all youth sports.
Belmont began considering synthetic
turf at the complex, located on the east
side of Highway 101, in 2009. The move
from natural yet harder to maintain grass
is pushed, as in many Peninsula cities, by
the desire for more playing hours and
fewer maintenance costs. On Tuesday, the
City Council chose the winning design
from a short list of three.
Although city staff backed the winning
plan, soccer advocates lined up for the
larger North Field design and baseball
fans promoted the other.
The council spent two hours on the
action item and 15 people spoke before
the vote, according to City Clerk Terri
Cook.

Man accused of touching
three minors had walked
from mental health facility
A mental health patient who
allegedly accosted three minors in
San Carlos last week had appar-
ently walked away from the
Cordilleras Mental Health Facility
in Redwood City
Daniel Brickman, 50, had been
housed in an unlocked area of the
facility since 2010, when he was
placed there after grabbing nurses
at another mental health facility
in San Mateo, said San Mateo
County District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.
Brickman has been charged with
multiple counts of battery after he
allegedly walked into a San Carlos
frozen yogurt shop last Thursday
and touched two children sitting at
a table with their mother,
Wagstaffe said.
Brickman apparently touched a
7-year-old boy in the bicep and
his 4-year-old sister in the face,
Wagstaffe said.
When the mother called to a
store employee for help,
Brickman ed the scene, the dis-
trict attorney said.
Outside the store, Brickman
encountered a
1 6 - y e a r - o l d
girl and
a l l e g e d l y
grabbed her
b u t t o c k s ,
Wagstaffe said.
She turned
around and
screamed, caus-
ing the suspect
to flee,
Wagstaffe said.
Deputies located Brickman near
the intersection of San Carlos
Avenue and Elm Street and arrested
him. Brickman pleaded not guilty
to one misdemeanor count of sex-
ual battery and two misdemeanor
counts of battery on Friday,
Wagstaffe said.
He remains in custody on
$10,000 bail.

SAN FRANCISCO A land-
mark restaurant that has been a San
Francisco xture for 150 years has
become a casualty of the federal
government shutdown, putting
more than 170 people out of work.
Cliff House, a private establish-
ment, is perched atop the cliffs
overlooking Ocean Beach and Seal
Rocks. It has drawn tourists and
locals alike since it opened in
1863 with its spectacular views
and menu items like spinach ricot-
ta pine nut ravioli and baked
Alaskan halibut let.
But as a concessionaire of the
Golden Gate National Recreational
Area, which is operated by the
National Park Service, it has been
forced to shutter its doors for the
duration of the gridlock in
Washington.
Last week, the restaurant closed
for four days but defiantly
reopened Monday. On Tuesday
afternoon, however, federal
authorities again ordered it to
close.
We just have to follow the
orders from Washington, said
Kevin Weber, Cliff Houses execu-
tive chef.
The restaurants owners, Dan and
Mary Hountalas, said they are
going to suffer losses of $10,000
per day for each day that the shut-
down is in effect.
The Cliff House, a privately
owned business that does not
depend on any tax dollars or feder-
al funding, must have income in
order to survive and meet its obli-
gations to the public visitors, its
employees, and the Park Service,
the owners said in a statement.
Even though the Cliff House is
not open for business, there are
daily operating costs, which
include maintenance of the iconic
Cliff House building, ironically
for the benet of the Park Service
in addition to the visiting pub-
lic.

Mahler Road No. 10, got its name from the
owners three living children Jessica,
Jason and Joel. The family said the delis
regular patrons knew the owners and their
children very well that many of them con-
sidered them family. They even attended
many of their social gatherings. Some of
their customers would refer to them as
Mom and Dad.
This was a deli that was tucked in the
industrial Bayshore area, Jessica said.
There is not much foot trafc and for him
to survive with no foot trafc was amazing.
People knew about it because of word of
mouth and were not only amazed by the
food, but the warm customer service.
Juan Soriano, the delis owner and Daly
City resident, immigrated to the United
States from the Philippines and worked
many years as a head waiter at the Presidio
Ofcers Club in San Francisco. After years
of saving, he fullled his dream by opening
3-Js Deli.
In all honesty, my father may not know
how to change a light bulb but he sure can
go head to head with a French chef when it
came to cooking oxtails in Burgundy
sauce, Jessica Soriano said.
It was originally a husband and wife oper-
ation until about almost ve years ago when
Juan Sorianos wife Naty was not able to
come regularly to help with the daily opera-
tions due to health reasons.
Their customers cared very much for them
that on some occasions they had to inter-
vene on unusual situations, Jessica said.
On one occasion, Juan forgot to lock the
front door and one of his regular customers
realized the door was slightly left ajar, then
called him immediately and stayed there
until Juan came back. During another, there
was an unexpected family emergency and
the deli was not open for business for cou-
ple of days. Customers worried as it was
unusual for them to be closed for a number
of days. On behalf of the family, a customer
put a sign on their doors and said, Well be
back to reassure their patrons they didnt
shut their doors without proper notice.
Since Juan ran the business on his own
most of the time cooking, working as
the cashier, dishwasher, server and bus boy
some of his regular customers would help
bus the tables while they waited for their
orders to be cooked.
The deli not only served typical hot and
cold sandwiches and salads, but Juan also
cooked daily hot specials of cuisines from
all over the world and served soup from
scratch. Attaining his culinary skills from
City College of San Francisco, Juan would
served turkey with all the fixings on
Mondays and clam chowder on Fridays.
Juan plans to spend more time with fami-
ly and to focus his attention with Jessicas
business, a United Parcel Service store in
Daly City which opened in 2009.
Im a nurse, so its hard for me to man-
age, Jessica said. He is helping me with it
and he also still works part time as a waiter
at the Marriott [Hotel].
Jessica said it was important to her father
that her mother have time to care for their
children.
It was the typical dad slays the dragon
while mom stays at home with the kids,
she said. It was important to him that there
was a parent at the house. My mom made
sure we were raised well and were looked
after when he went out.
He worked more than 16 hours a day, six
days a week, Jessica said.
Its really hard for him to cut back his
hours, she said. Thats why hes so bored
and wants to focus on the UPS store and
work at Marriott.

SACRAMENTO Nurse practitioners,
certified nurse midwives and physician
assistants in California will be allowed to
perform a type of early abortion under leg-
islation signed Wednesday by Gov. Jerry
Brown, an action that drew condemnation
from Catholic bishops and that came as
many conservative states are limiting
access to abortion services.
The bill by Assemblywoman Toni
Atkins, D-San Diego, would let those pro-
fessionals perform what are known as
aspiration abortions during the first
trimester. The method involves inserting
a tube and using suction to terminate a
pregnancy.
Oregon, Montana, Vermont and New
Hampshire already allow nurse practition-
ers, certified nurse midwives and physi-
cian assistants to perform those abor-
tions. Previous California law allowed
those medical professionals to administer
medicine to induce an abortion.
Supporters, including Planned
Parenthood Affiliates of California, said
expanding the ranks of those who can per-
form early abortions would provide better
health care for women.
Timely access to reproductive health
services is critical to womens health,
Atkins said in a statement Wednesday.
AB154 will ensure that no woman has to
travel excessively long distances or wait
for long periods in order to obtain an early
abortion.
Brown announced his approval of the
bill along with several others related to
womens health care. His signature on
AB154, which goes into effect Jan. 1,
came as other states have been restricting
access to abortions.
Republican lawmakers who opposed the
legislation argued that allowing non-doc-
tors to perform aspiration abortions
would increase risks to patients. They
expressed concerns that those medical
professional would lack training and
assistance from experienced physicians.

LOS ANGELES NASAs Jupiter-bound
spacecraft hit a snag Wednesday soon after
it used Earth as a gravity slingshot to hur-
tle toward the outer solar system, but mis-
sion managers said its on course to arrive
at the giant planet in 2016.
Juno emerged from Earths shadow in
safe mode, a state that spacecraft are pro-
grammed to go into when theres some
trouble.
Despite the problem, we believe we are
on track as planned to Jupiter, said proj-
ect manager Rick Nybakken of the NASA
Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which manages
the $1.1 billion mission.
Engineers continued to diagnose the
issue, which occurred after Juno whipped
around Earth in a momentum-gathering
flyby. Up until Wednesday, Juno had been
in excellent health. While in safe mode, it
can communicate with ground controllers,
but its activities are limited.
Previous missions to the outer solar sys-
tem have used Earth as a celestial spring-
board since theres no rocket powerful
enough to make a direct flight. The Galileo
spacecraft buzzed by Earth twice in the
1990s en route to Jupiter, the solar sys-
tems largest planet located 484 million
miles from the sun.
Launched in 2011, Juno flew beyond the
orbit of Mars, Earths closest planetary
neighbor, before looping back toward our
home planet for a quick visit. Wednesdays
rendezvous boosted Junos speed from
78,000 mph relative to the sun to 87,000
mph enough momentum to cruise past
the asteroid belt to Jupiter, where it should
arrive in 2016.
During the swing past Earth, Juno
snapped pictures. The solar-powered,
windmill-shaped spacecraft slipped into
Earths shadow as planned, but engineers
were puzzled by the too little data it sent
back afterward. At closest approach, it hur-
tled 350 miles above the ocean off the
coast of South Africa.
NASA said skywatchers with binoculars
or a small telescope might have seen it
streak across the sky, weather permitting.
Ham radio operators around the globe were
encouraged to say Hi in Morse code a
message that might be detected by Junos
radio.
By space mission standards, Junos
Earth rendezvous was low-key compared
with the Curiosity rovers nail-biting
landing on Mars last year, which drew
crowds. Since flybys have been executed
before, project managers predicted a
smooth flight.

Food stamp recipients
fret as stimulus boost ends
CONCORD, N.H. A temporary increase in food
stamps expires Oct. 31, meaning for millions of
Americans, the benefits that help put food on the table
wont stretch as far as they have for the past four years.
Food stamps actually the Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program go to 47 million Americans a
month, almost half of them children and teenagers.
Every week is a struggle as it is, said Heidi Leno, 43,
who lives in Concord with her husband, 9-year-old daugh-
ter and 5-year-old twins. We hate living paycheck to
paycheck and you have to decide what gets paid.
Starting in 2009, the federal stimulus pumped $45.2
billion into SNAP, increasing what would have been a
monthly benefit of $588 a month to $668 for an average
household of four. In November, that same family will
start getting $632 a month, about a 5 percent cut.

WASHINGTON Starting in about
a decade, Kingston, Jamaica, will
probably be off-the-charts hot per-
manently. Other places will soon fol-
low. Singapore in 2028. Mexico City
in 2031. Cairo in 2036. Phoenix and
Honolulu in 2043.
And eventually the whole world in
2047.
Anew study on global warming pin-
points the probable dates for when
cities and ecosystems around the world
will regularly experience hotter envi-
ronments the likes of which they have
never seen before.
And for dozens of cities, mostly in
the tropics, those dates are a genera-
tion or less away.
This paper is both innovative and
sobering, said Oregon State
University professor Jane Lubchenco,
former head of the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration, who
was not involved in the study.
To arrive at their projections, the
researchers used weather observations,
computer models and other data to cal-
culate the point at which every year
from then on will be warmer than the
hottest year ever recorded over the last
150 years.
For example, the world as a whole
had its hottest year on record in 2005.
The new study, published Wednesday
in the journal Nature, says that by the
year 2047, every year that follows will
probably be hotter than that record-
setting scorcher.
Eventually, the coldest year in a par-
ticular city or region will be hotter
than the hottest year in its past.
Study author Camilo Mora and his
colleagues said they hope this new
way of looking at climate change will
spur governments to do something
before it is too late.
Now is the time to act, said anoth-
er study co-author, Ryan Longman.
Mora, a biological geographer at the
University of Hawaii, and colleagues
ran simulations from 39 different com-
puter models and looked at hundreds of
thousands of species, maps and data
points to ask when places will have
an environment like we had never
seen before.
The 2047 date for the whole world is
based on continually increasing emis-
sions of greenhouse gases from the
burning of coal, oil and natural gases.
If the world manages to reduce its emis-
sions of carbon dioxide and other
gases, that would be pushed to as late
as 2069, according to Mora.
But for now, Mora said, the world is
rushing toward the 2047 date.
One can think of this year as a kind
of threshold into a hot new world from
which one never goes back, said
Carnegie Institution climate scientist
Chris Field, who was not part of the
study. This is really dramatic.
Mora forecasts that the unprecedent-
ed heat starts in 2020 with Manokwa,
Indonesia.

WASHINGTON House
Republican leaders are considering
a short-term increase in the U.S.
debt limit as a possible way to
break the gridlock that threatens
the nation with an unprecedented
default in as little as a week, of-
cials said Wednesday night.
These ofcials said there is far
less urgency inside the leadership
about ending the current nine-day
partial government shutdown,
which has caused inconvenience
and nancial concern for many
individual Americans but appears
not to threaten the widespread eco-
nomic damage a default might
bring.
The ofcials declined to say
what conditions, if any, might be
attached to legislation to raise the
$16.7 trillion debt limit for an
undetermined period, perhaps a few
weeks or months. The GOP rank
and le is expected to meet pri-
vately to discuss the issue on
Thursday, before a delegation led
by Speaker John Boehner goes to
the White House to meet with
President Barack Obama.
The officials describing the
developments late Wednesday
spoke only on condition of
anonymity, saying they were not
authorized to disclose details of
private deliberations.
Obama has said he wont agree
to sign a debt limit increase if con-
ditions are attached. Republicans
indicated several days ago they
intended to seek spending cuts to
reduce decits, measures to roll
back environmental regulations
and changes in the nations 3-year-
old health care law.
More recently, the GOP-con-
trolled House has passed legisla-
tion to create a 20-member group
of lawmakers from the House and
Senate to negotiate over those and
other issues. The bill makes no
mention of an increase in the debt
limit, but the two topics could be
combined in a potential face-sav-
ing way out of the impasse.
The disclosures came as Obama
met at the White House in late
afternoon for more than an hour
with House Democrats. He told
them that while he would prefer
legislation extending the
Treasurys borrowing ability
beyond the next election, he would
also sign a shorter-term bill.
Treasury Secretary Jack Lew has
told lawmakers they must raise the
debt limit by Oct. 17 to avoid
risking a default, but neither house
has yet scheduled a vote.
In the Senate, Democrats have
proposed a no-strings-attached $1
trillion increase in borrowing
authority that is designed to pre-
vent a recurrence of the current
confrontation before the 2014 elec-
tions. A test vote is scheduled for
the weekend, and Republicans
have yet to indicate how vigorous-
ly they might oppose it.
In addition to House leadership
conversations, a group of conser-
vatives met privately during the
day for what several officials
described as a wide-ranging discus-
sion on the debt limit and the
threat or lack of it posed by
default.

WASHINGTON The Obama
administration, scrambling to
tamp down a controversy over
suspended death benets for the
families of fallen troops,
announced Wednesday that a
charity would pick up the costs of
the payments during the govern-
ment shutdown.
The Fisher House Foundation
will provide the families of the
fallen with the benets they so
richly deserve, Defense
Secretary Chuck Hagel said in a
statement, adding that the
Pentagon would reimburse the
foundation after the shutdown
ended.
Hagel said Fisher House, which
works with veterans and their
families, had approached the
Pentagon about making the pay-
ments. The Defense Department
typically pays families about
$100,000 within three days of a
service members death, but of-
cials say the shutdown was pre-
venting those benefits from
being paid.
A senior defense ofcial said
the government could not active-
ly solicit funds from private
organizations but could accept an
offer.
The failure to make the pay-
ments has stirred outrage on
Capitol Hill and at the White
House. Obama spokesman Jay
Carney said Wednesday that the
president was disturbed when
he found out the death benet s
had been suspended and demanded
an immediate solution.
The commander in chief, when
he found out that this was not
addressed, he directed that a solu-
tion be found, and we expect one
today, Carney said before the
Pentagon announced the agree-
ment with Fisher House.
The Republican-led House
unanimously passed legislation
on Wednesday to restore the death
benets. But its unclear whether
the Democratic-led Senate will
take up the measure or whether
Obama would sign it. Obama has
threatened to veto other legisla-
tion passed by the House in
recent days that would reopen
individual funding streams, argu-
ing that a piecemeal approach to
ending the shutdown was unac-
ceptable and that the entire gov-
ernment must be reopened.
As of Wednesday afternoon, the
Obama administration had yet to
issue a formal veto threat for the
death benet bill.

WASHINGTON In a history-making
selection, President Barack Obama nomi-
nated Janet Yellen to be chairman of the
Federal Reserve, a critical post as the nation
continues its tful economic recovery. If
conrmed she would be the rst woman to
lead the powerful central bank.
Yellen, who currently holds the No. 2 spot
at the Fed, would replace Ben Bernanke,
whose eight-year tenure at the helm of the
Fed ends Jan. 31.
Obama introduced Yellen as a proven
leader. And shes tough, not just because
shes from Brooklyn, he said. He credited
her for being a consensus builder, adding:
She understands the human cost when peo-
ple cant nd a job.
Before selecting Yellen, Obama had
considered nominating former Treasury
Secretary Lawrence Summers, who had
been a close Obama adviser during the
first years of his presidency. But Summers
withdrew in the face of opposition over
his temperament and past support for
bank deregulation.
Obama heaped praise on Bernanke for tak-
ing bold action at the height of the nan-
cial crisis in 2008 to shore up our banks
and get credit owing again.
Ben Bernanke is the epitome of calm,
and against the volatility of global markets
hes been a voice of wisdom and a steady
hand, Obama said.
The central bank reaches into the lives of
millions of Americans. Its two main mis-
sions are fostering maximum employment
and stabilizing prices. With its power to
regulate the supply of money and set inter-
est rates, it inuences economic activity,
hiring and ination. It also is the leading
regulator of banks and plays a crucial role as
the countrys lender of last resort when
banks cant get their money elsewhere.
In accepting the nomination, Yellen said
more still needs to be done to strengthen the
recovery. She said the past six years have
been tumultuous for the economy and chal-
lenging for many Americans. She said that
while the recovery is not complete, we
have made progress, the economy is
stronger and the financial system is
sounder.
Three-star admiral fired as
No. 2 nuclear commander
WASHINGTON The deputy commander
of U.S. nuclear forces, Vice Adm. Tim
Giardina, was notied Wednesday that he
has been relieved of duty amid a military
investigation of allegations that he used
counterfeit chips at an Iowa casino, the
Navy said.
The move is exceedingly rare and perhaps
unprecedented in the history of U.S.
Strategic Command, which is responsible
for all American nuclear warghting forces,
including nuclear-armed submarines,
bombers and land-based missiles.
The Navys top spokesman, Rear Adm.
John Kirby, said Giardina, who had held the
job since December 2011, is being reas-
signed to the Navy staff pending the out-
come of the probe by the Naval Criminal
Investigative Service. The gambling matter
originated as a local law enforcement inves-
tigation in Iowa in June.
As a consequence of being removed from
his post at Strategic Command, Giardina
falls in rank to two-star admiral.

Barack Obama, left, looks on after announcing his nomination of Janet Yellen to head the
Federal Reserve at the White House in Washington, D.C.
A SHARP FORECASTER
In the nearly 12 years that Yellen has expressed her
views in statements and policy meetings and provided
economic forecasts, shes built an enviable batting
average.
From the damage that a bursting housing bubble could
cause the U.S.economy to the steps the Fed needed to
take to ght the Great Recession,Yellen often saw more
accurately into the future than many others.Transcripts
of the Feds policy meetings document the trend.
One example: In December 2007, the Feds ofcial
forecast was for continued growth. Yellen was
unconvinced. The transcripts show she pushed her
colleagues to take unusually aggressive action against
the threat of a downturn. She lost the argument. The
Fed approved a small quarter-point cut in a key short-
term interest rate rather than the bolder half-point cut
Yellen favored.
Any more bad news could put us over the edge, and
the possibility of getting bad news in particular, a
signicant credit crunch seems far from remote,
Yellen argued.
December 2007,it later turned out,was the month when
the Great Recession ofcially began. Less than a year
later, the nancial system was engulfed by its worst
nancial crisis in 70 years.
THE PRIVATE AND PUBLIC SIDE
Shy and quiet outside the classroom. Firm and direct
when making a point in class.
Thats how former students and colleagues recall
Professor Janet Yellen, who spent more than a quarter
century teaching economics at the Haas School of
Business at the University of California, Berkeley.
When Victor dAllant took Yellens introduction to
macroeconomics class in 1986,his rst impression was
of a tiny woman facing down a room of 125
opinionated students. Many were eager to challenge
her on economic theory.Yet dAllant recalls that Yellen
would disarm her most forceful intellectual antagonists
with condence and the ability to reason.
She was always very good about staying calm,dAllant
said.She said,Lets think about this carefully.That is an
art that not so many professors have, not so many
professionals have. To force this other person to go
deeper into their thinking and understand the
consequences of their thinking.
FROM STAMPS TO STOCKS
Yellen and her husband,Nobel Prize-winning economist
George Akerlof,have held a mix of big-company stocks
and investment funds in a trust.
And they share a fondness for stamps.
The two held between $4 million and $13 million in
assets as of Yellens nancial disclosure report for 2012.
Their stamp collection was valued at between $15,000
and $50,000
Their individual stock holdings included Conoco Phillips,
DirecTV Group, E.I. DuPont, Pzer, Ofce Max and
Raytheon.
Through the University of California, they also hold
retirement accounts in funds invested in bonds, stocks
and insurance company contracts.
In addition, Yellen and Akerlof receive payments from
a University of California pension, or dened benet
plan. And Yellen owns retirement funds managed by
TIAA-CREF dating to her days as an assistant professor
at Harvard in the 1970s.
Last year, Yellen earned $179,700 from the Fed. As
chairman,she would be paid $199,700,the same as for
a Cabinet secretary.
AN ACADEMIC STAR
Yellen is familiar with success. Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., in
1946, she grew up with a father was a family doctor
who worked from the ground oor of their home. Her
mother was an elementary school teacher who quit
work to take care of Janet and her older brother.
Yellen graduated as valedictorian from her public high
school, then summa cum laude from Brown University
with an economics degree in 1967.Four years later, she
earned a Ph.D. from Yale University.
At Yale, Yellen became a legend of sorts. At least her
class notes did. The Yellen Notes, as they became
known,served as an unofcial textbook for generations
of graduate students studying economics at Yale.
A mentor at Yale, the late Nobel laureate James Tobin,
once said of Yellen, She has a genius for expressing
complicated arguments simply and clearly.
LOVE IN THE CAFETERIA
Yellen not only found career satisfaction at the Fed.
She also met her future husband in the cafeteria.
In 1977, she was a staff economist at the Fed in
Washington and Akerlof was a visiting economist.After
they married the following June, they began a long
and highly successful partnership that produced
numerous academic papers while both taught at
Berkeley.
We liked each other immediately and decided to get
married, Ackerlof wrote in essay published when he
won the Nobel Prize in 2001. Not only did our
personalities mesh perfectly, but we have always been
in all but perfect agreement about macroeconomics.
Yellen revisited the Feds cafeteria when she returned
to Washington as one of seven Fed board members in
the 1990s. She took her lunches there as a way to
subvert the hierarchical system that limited contact
between top Fed ofcials and hundreds of staff
economists.
It was a real cultural shock,remembers Kevin Hassett,
a staff economist at the time. There was a serious
bureaucratic divide between the political appointees
and the staff. She found a way around that.

W
ashingtons game of political
chicken has a clear loser: the
American people.
So settle this.
The nation needs a clean continuing res-
olution to end the partial shutdown.
The nation also needs a clean bill to raise
the debt ceiling. The sooner the better.
President Barack Obama says hes will-
ing to negotiate with reasonable con-
gressional Republicans over policies that
Republicans think would strengthen the
country including the Affordable Care
Act as soon as the shutdown is over and
the debt ceiling is raised.
Lawmakers need to stop obstructing and
help get the government running again.
Then they can make their case against the
Affordable Care Act.
Holding your breath until America turns
blue is not an acceptable way to win an
argument.
America is polarized. Debate and compro-
mise are essential to reach consensus.
People have already suffered from the
partial shutdown. Ask a hotel owner near
the Grand Canyon. The stakes for default
are much higher, and it isnt just the Obama
administration saying that.
James E. Staley, managing partner of the
hedge fund Blue Mountain Capital, says
failing to raise the debt limit would be
calamitous. Worse than the nancial
meltdown in 2008.
The International Monetary Funds chief
economist Olivier Blanchard said the
recovery could turn into recession if we
miss the Oct. 17 deadline.
Abig dose of uncertainty between now
and then wont help bring back the eco-
nomic good times, either.
Meanwhile, America is wearing a clown
nose on the world stage.
President Obama missed the summit of
Pacic Rim leaders in Indonesia this week
because of the turmoil.
Congress needs to get past this latest
exercise in governing by crisis.
Vote to fund the government and raise the
debt ceiling. Without conditions.
After that, everything is negotiable. It
should be negotiable.
Republicans who believe their ideas rep-
resent the will of the people should be will-
ing to debate those ideas on their merits
without the leverage of a looming catastro-
phe.
Workers strike at Sequoia Hospital
Editor,
Im generally supportive of workers
rights and strikes. However, I am dis-
mayed by the behavior of the striking
workers at Sequoia Hospital. I cannot
imagine how anyone in the profession of
caring for people would intentionally
cause traffic jams in front of a hospital.
Imagine someone rushing to get to the
emergency room only to be blocked by
the traffic created by these strikers.
Apparently these strikers are indifferent
to the well-being of the people they
ostensibly serve in their jobs.
Intentionally creating traffic jams in
front of a hospital is immoral and
shameful.
If these workers are trying to gain
sympathy for their cause, they should
change their tactics. Theyve lost at
least one supporter.

Great endorsement
Editor,
I want to say great choice. Your
endorsement of Russ Cohen for
Burlingame City Council is right on
(Brownrigg, Cohen and Keighran for
Burlingame editorial in the Oct. 9 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal). There is a lot
of candidate confusion out there and your
endorsement provides great clarity, vali-
dating that the measure of a great candi-
date is not what they say they are going
to do, but what they have actually done.
For nearly 20 years, Cohen has self-
lessly worked on a wide range of issues
important to our community. He devel-
oped a funding program to prevent elimi-
nation of school crossing guards, found-
ed our Historical Museum and fought tire-
lessly to ensure that High-Speed Rail
does not devastate our community. He
has done much more than this and his
actions truly speak louder than words.
Yes, he has City Council and city com-
mission experience, but what speaks
most powerfully to me is all of his work
as just a regular guy, simply wanting the
best for our community.
Avote for Cohen ensures that we will
continue to benefit from all he has to
give to Burlingame.

Is this language appropriate?
Editor,
Bruce Joffe castigates Republicans for
the government impasse (Shutdown
who is to blame? in the Oct. 9 edition
of the Daily Journal). He refers to
Republicans as terrorists within the
halls of Congress. He also claims that
they want to destroy our system of gov-
ernment. Furthermore, he accuses
Republicans of treason. Now, with this
kind of language, which echoes the
words of our president, lets ask Mr.
Joffe how that can be helpful to compro-
mise and work out a solution.

Many people are criticizing the tea

There is no tea party. There are people
who are tired of big government and
high taxes. These are mostly older peo-
ple who have worked and paid taxes and
bills for years. Now they are portrayed as
radical nut cases. Help me understand
how they are a threat to our security. We
are condemning our children and grand-
children to poverty and insurmountable
debt. It is true that we will not be around
to face their wrath. However, it might be
nice to think that they would thank us
rather than hate us. There are even rum-
blings on Facebook and other sources
about their feelings today. Maybe we
should listen?

Editor,
Please do not assume all motorcyclists
behave like those recently shown in the
NYC videos. Avast majority, like me,
enjoy riding, respect all road-goers
rights and space and just want to get
home to our families. It is embarrassing
and terrifying that such behavior exists,
on two wheels or four, and I worry such
events will add tension and danger to
already dangerous driving. Looking for-
ward to more mutual respect and common
sense among all.

hether you are a Type Aor a
Type B, theres a scent for you.
Even better if youre type AB or
even O.
Arelatively new scent lets one choose
the appropriate perfume based on blood
type. The Blood Concept line tagline,
Let it Flow! is the brain child of an
Italian perfume house that offers four drop-
per bottle options
based on the four
types. Youd
think these scents
would carry cool
vampire-centric
names like Eau de
Nosferatu but
sadly the labels
are boringly
straightforward
and give no hint
of the olfactory
present contained
within.
Perfume O is,
and I quote, a leather fragrance with
thyme and raspberry. Um, OK.
Perfumes A, B and AB are unisex scents
ranging from aromatic A, woody, spicy
B and less appealing sounding mineral
AB. All include metallic notes just to give
it that whiff of blood authenticity and
allegedly trace the blood types through
their evolution from the oldest, O, to the
newest, AB. Because isnt that what were
all looking for at the nape of the neck or
the inside of the wrist evolution and
bodily uids?
Not to be outdone, another company
called Blood Lust also offers blood-
inspired scents for those who like to drink
in unique aromas. When one runs dry, pour
one brand into the other. Consider it a
transfusion. Or just continue to consider it
weird. Sorry to be so negative.
The scents may be just the nishing
touch to this years spooky Halloween
ensemble or perhaps a unique stocking
stuffer for your favorite phlebotomist.
But really, odd though the blood scent
notion may seem, it is merely a drop in the
bucket of strange bottled fragrances vying
for attention.
Bacon and Burger King scents spring to
mind and the infamous started-as-a-joke-
but-is-now-a-real-thing Pizza Hut scent is
old hat by now. However, what about a per-
fume that lets the wearer smell like old
books? Paper Passion is meant to recall
cracking the spine on an old favorite and
sticking your nose in its weathered pages.
Maybe in this PDF and e-reader era the
smell of real paper pages is actually exotic
and alluring. Or maybe it just speaks to
those with a hot librarian fantasy. Dont
worry, thats next a bottle of Dewey
Decimal.
For those who cant afford the $98 price
tag, just rub a new car air freshener behind
the ears. Its sort of the same thing, at least
in terms of resembling an inanimate
object.
On the other hand, those who prefer to
wear rather than imbibe their vices, try
either the Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc,
Riesling, Cabernet and Chardonnay fra-
grances. Remember to remain calm when
the friendly law enforcement ofcer asks
just how many spritzes youve had that
night.
Not every person, though, likes to wear a
mass-marketed scent, even if that fragrance
is something as kooky as these. For them,
they should try splashing on a number of
different wine smells. Alittle Merlot, a lit-
tle Cab. Voila! Anew perfume Meritage.
Or, for something even more unexpected,
layer seemingly disparate smells. Dab a lit-
tle Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay on top
of the Perfume O or Perfume B. Add some
more wine fragrance. Then some more. In
fact, keep going until the bouquet of blood
is completely overwhelmed.
Take a deep breath to enjoy the scent
DUI.

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
NEWYORK Signs that lawmakers
are making moves to end a stalemate in
Washington and avert a U.S. govern-
ment debt default halted a slump on the
stock market Wednesday.
President Barack Obama is making
plans to talk with Republican lawmak-
ers at the White House in the coming
days as pressure builds on both sides to
resolve their deadlock over the federal
debt limit and the partial government
shutdown before the U.S. Treasurys
borrowing authority is exhausted next
week.
The stock markets losses accelerated
at the start of this week as the shutdown
dragged on and both the White House
and House Republicans appeared to be
coming more entrenched in their posi-
tions. The Standard & Poors 500 index
has fallen about 4 percent since climb-
ing to a record on Sept. 18.
We were quite oversold, Alec
Young, a global equity strategist at S&P
Capital, said of the markets moderate
recovery on Wednesday. For this really
to have any legs, though, we need to
see signs of compromise in
Washington.
The S&P 500 index gained 0.95
points, or 0.1 percent, to 1,656.40.
The index lost 2 percent in the rst two
days of this week as concerns grew that
politicians would fail to reach a deal
before the government hits its debt
ceiling on Oct. 17.
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 26.45 points, or 0.2 percent, to
14,802.98. The Nasdaq composite fell
17.06 points, or 0.5 percent, to
3,677.78.
The pace of companies reporting
third-quarter earnings is also picking up
this week, giving investors better
insight into how corporate America is
doing.
Yum Brands, the owner of KFC, Taco
Bell and Pizza Hut, was the biggest
decliner in the S&P 500 index after its
earnings fell short of Wall Streets
expectations. The discount retailer
Family Dollar also slumped after giv-
ing a cautious earnings forecast for next
year.
It looks like there has been some
disappointment in the early earnings
already, said Colleen Supran, a princi-
pal at San Francisco-based Bingham,
Osborn & Scarborough, an investment
adviser and asset management compa-
ny.
Yum Brands slumped $4.82, or 6.8
percent, to $66.48. Sales in China have
grown weaker and the company cut its
full-year earnings forecast after the
closing bell Wednesday. Family Dollar
fell 74 cents, or 1.1 percent, to $68.71.
In a move that many investors regard-
ed as a positive for stocks, the White
House nominated Federal Reserve Vice
Chair Janet Yellen for the top position
at the central bank.
Investors expect Yellen to continue
the aggressive economic stimulus poli-
cies championed by the outgoing
Chairman Ben Bernanke.
Yellens appointment does add cer-
tainty, in the absence of certainty for
stocks, said Jim Russell, a regional
investment director at U.S. Bank. It
perhaps keeps a little bit of a safety net
under equities for the near, or intermit-
tent, term.
The Federal Reserve is buying $85
billion of bonds a month to hold down
long-term interest rates and bolster the
economy. The central banks stimulus
has been a crucial support for a stock
market rally that began more than four
years ago.
Investors also got more insight into
the Feds thinking Wednesday after the
central bank published minutes from its
September meeting Wednesday.
Nearly every member of the Federal
Reserve thought the central bank
should see more economic data before
slowing its bond purchases. But wor-
ries about whether a delay would con-
fuse markets made the decision a close
call.
Stocks end mostly higher
We were quite oversold. ...

Shutdown means no new beer from craft brewers
By Mary Clare Jalonick
WASHINGTON The Agriculture
Department is threatening to shut
down three California poultry process-
ing facilities linked to a salmonella
outbreak that has sickened 278 people
across the country.
USDA said Wednesday that Foster
Farms, owner of the three facilities,
has until tomorrow to tell the depart-
ment how it will x the problem. The
company was notied Monday.
Sampling by USDA in September
showed that raw chicken processed by
those facilities included strains of sal-
monella that were linked to the out-
break. But the company has not
recalled any of its products.
In a letter to Foster Farms, USDA
said those samples coupled with ill-
nesses suggest that the sanitary condi-
tions at the facility could pose a seri-
ous ongoing threat to public health.
The rst illnesses in the outbreak
were reported in March and the out-
break has had a high rate of hospital-
izations. The CDC said 42 percent of
victims were hospitalized, about dou-
ble the normal rate, and it is resistant
to many antibiotics, making it a more
dangerous outbreak.
USDA warns state poultry producer linked to outbreak
HP issues upbeat guidance for 2014
SAN JOSE Hewlett-Packard is upbeat about 2014, say-
ing it will be a year of recovery and expansion.
The technology bellwether on Wednesday projected earn-
ings for the scal year starting in November that exceeded
analysts forecasts and predicted stabilizing revenue
declines.
HPs stock rose 8.9 percent to close at $22.60. The
shares have gained about 59 percent this year.
HP has been trying to ease the pain of a declining PC
market by cutting costs and focusing on more protable
areas. Research rms IDC and Gartner Inc. also reafrmed
Wednesday that they believe the PC market will hit bottom
this year or next before recovering. HP is the worlds sec-
ond largest maker of PCs.
In a presentation to analysts Wednesday, CEO Meg
Whitman said the company will focus on new products and
services next year while controlling costs under stable
leadership.
Disney stock certificates off to Never Never Land
NEWYORK Disneys paper stock certicates are head-
ing off to Never Never Land.
The stock certicates, with images of Mickey Mouse,
Dumbo and Tinker Bell on them, have long been collec-
tors items and a xture in many childrens bedrooms. They
are a popular gift among parents, grandparents, uncles and
aunts who want to teach kids about the stock market.
But The Walt Disney Co. said Tuesday that it will stop
issuing the paper stock certicates to shareholders on Oct.
16.

MILWAUKEE The federal govern-
ment shutdown could leave Americas
craft brewers with a serious hangover.
Stores will still offer plenty of suds.
But the shutdown has closed an obscure
agency that quietly approves new brew-
eries, recipes and labels, which could
create huge delays throughout the rapid-
ly growing craft industry, whose cus-
tomers expect a constant supply of
inventive and seasonal beers.
Mike Brenner is trying to open a craft
brewery in Milwaukee by December.
His application to include a tasting
room is now on hold, as are his plans to
le paperwork for four labels over the
next few weeks. He expects to lose
about $8,000 for every month his
opening is delayed.
My dream, this is six years in the
making, is to open this brewery,
Brenner said. Ive been working so
hard, and I nd all these great investors.
And now I cant get started because peo-
ple are ghting over this or that in
Washington. ... This is something peo-
ple dont mess around with. Even in a
bad economy, people drink beer.
The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and
Trade Bureau, or TTB, is a little-known
arm of the Treasury Department. The
agency will continue to process taxes
from existing permit holders, but
applications for anything new are in
limbo.
One could think of this shutdown as
basically stopping business indenite-
ly for anyone who didnt have certain
paperwork in place back in mid-
August, said Paul Gatza, director of the
Brewers Association, which represents
more than 1,900 U.S. breweries.
A woman who answered the phone
Oct. 2 at TTBs headquarters in
Washington abruptly hung up after
explaining that the government was
shut down.

If not for the need to clean his teeth, Matt
Chavez might never have signed a profes-
sional baseball contract with the San
Francisco Giants.
The former Burlingame High standout,
who had a star-crossed career at University
of San Francisco before winning the Triple
Crown of the Freedom Pro Baseball League
with the Prescott (Ariz.) Montezuma
Federals, can thank his dentist, Ron Sarles,
for hooking him up with the San Francisco
Giants.
This is the wild part of the story,
Chavez said by telephone from his hotel
room in Arizona. My mom tells me to go
to the dentist. and I talk to my dentist and
he asked how everything went (in the inde-
pendent league). He knows (Giants vice
president of baseball
operations) Bobby
Evans. He said he would
put in a call for me. I had
no idea who Bobby
Evans was. I had a 14-
year big leaguer as a
coach. I gured he would
get me something, but
not my dentist.
The rest, as they say, is
history. After dragging
his feet for a few days, Chavez nally called
Evans, who asked Chavez to attend a tryout
in Arizona. Chavez ies down there, goes
through the workout and goes home.
Acouple weeks go by and he gets another
text: can he y out that night for a tryout the
following morning? Chavez jumps on a
plane and goes through another workout in
front of the Giants brass.
I did the workout, Chavez said. I get a
text the next day (from the Giants saying),
Congratulations. We want to sign you,
pending a physical. I pass the physical and
here I am.
Its a crazy story. I still cant believe it.
I think everyone (in my family) was
thrown off by it.
Chavez said he was signed as a rst base-
man/catcher and has been surprised with the
amount of support the Giants have given
him thus far. He said he has played in nearly
every game of the instructional league to
which he was assigned and said he is doing
well at the plate.
Ive gotten a chance to play every day. I
think its basically an extended tryout.
Ive been getting a decent amount of at-
bats. Im feeling really good. I feel like the

Menlo Schools Chris Xi, right, gets a pass away as Menlo-Athertons Dimitri Herr defends during the
Knights 8-7 win over the Bears in a PAL Bay Division showdown Wednesday afternoon.
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Jack Bowen, Menlo Schools
boys water polo coach, is one of
the most calm, introspective,
philosophical serene coach-
es you will ever see on a sideline.
During Wednesdays key match
with rival Menlo-Atherton, how-
ever, Bowen was a raving lunatic
by his standards. He paced,
yelled, encouraged, cajoled and st
pumped his squad to a key 8-7 win
over the Bears.
Maybe I was feeling a little
more pressure on myself, Bowen
said. Honestly, I had a strange
feeling I let the team down last
year.
Menlo-Atherton supplanted
Menlo School as the top dog in the
Bay Division last year, the rst
time in 18 years Menlo did not win
a league championship.
Wednesdays win, however, gives
the Knights a two-game lead over
the Bears and all but clinched the
Bay Division title for Menlo with
four PAL matches left to play.
Menlo swept the Bears in two
matches this season.
This is a little bit of intra-per-
sonal retribution, Bowen said.
This team prepared so much for
this game. The exciting thing
was, M-A was clearly prepared,
too.
The match could not have been
any closer and was decided in the
nal minute. Menlo-Atherton (4-2

OAKLAND Its Justin Verlander and
Sonny Gray, the encore.
These decisive Game 5s sure are becoming
familiar for Verlander. Not so much for the
Oakland rookie.
Just like last October in Oakland, the
Tigers have been pushed to a winner-take-
all fth game in their AL division series
against the Athletics. And Detroit will have
Verlander on the mound
again Thursday night
after he pitched a four-hit
shutout in the 2012
clincher at the Oakland
Coliseum.
Well, you dont pre-
tend. Its not just another
game, Verlander said
after the Tigers evened
the series with an 8-6 win
Tuesday at Comerica Park. The season is
on the line. It was on the
line for us tonight, too.
This whole season, the
way we battled and played
as a team, comes down to
one game, may the best
team win. You cant treat
it just like another game.
Its a little bit different.
There is more to it.
The As will counter
with Gray against
Verlander a second time after these two put
on a pitching show Saturday night at the
Coliseum.
Hes a little bit of a bulldog, hes scared
of nothing, manager Bob Melvin said,
noting Grays experience on the big stage
just last week. Everything that went on in
that game factored into it. ... When he came
up, we were into the season and a pennant
race already and we threw him right into the

he rst two months of the high
school football season from
the beginning of training camp in
August through the rst ve weeks of the
regular season have led to this point:
the beginning of league play. Now the
quest begins for a league championship.
Serra and the West Catholic Athletic
League started league play last week and
now the Peninsula

there are a few PAL
teams that will have

of the 18 teams in
the PAL will face off

one of the better
leagues in the
Central Coast Section, despite the fact it
doesnt get a lot of respect from the rest
of the leagues in the section. But I would
put Terra Nova, Sacred Heart Prep, Menlo-
Atherton, Menlo and Sequoia up against
nearly any team between San Francisco
and King City and like the chances of the
PAL team coming out on top.
Top to bottom, the games among the

SANTA CLARA Colin
Kaepernick strolled through the
49ers locker room with about a
dozen or so reporters, then made
his way into a small nook where
several offensive linemen sat in
front of their stalls.
After some lighthearted protests
and ribbing from his teammates
left the 25-year-old quarterback
chuckling quietly, Kaepernick
turned stone-faced serious when
questioned about San Franciscos
passing game.
A season-opening win against
Green Bay in which he threw for
more than 400 yards and three
touchdowns was supposed to have
raised the bar for Kaepernick.
Instead its turned out to be the
high-water mark, and the 36th
overall pick in 2011 has had a dif-
cult time getting back to that
point.
On the ip side, the 49ers have
won three of four since defeating
the Packers and theyve done it
behind a resurgent running game
that has made passing the ball
almost an afterthought in recent
weeks.
The only stat I really care about
is whether we won or not,
Kaepernick said Wednesday. Im
happy with wins, consecutive
wins. Thats the biggest thing for
us. As long as were winning,
thats all that matters.
That hasnt stopped the critics,
who point to Kaepernicks
increasing low passing totals over
the past month.
He has passed for more than 150
yards just once in the past four
games.
Against Houston last week,
Kaepernick threw seven consecu-
tive incompletions during one
stretch and nished with a 40.0
percent completion rate that is the
lowest of any of the 12 games hes
started since replacing Alex Smith
as San Franciscos starter a year
ago.
The 49ers entered the week 31st
in total passing while Kaepernick
had the fifth-
lowest comple-
tion percentage
among all start-
ing quarter-
backs.
A successful
running game
led by Frank
Gore is partial-
ly to blame.
K a e p e r n i c k
threw just 15 times last week
against Houston while San
Francisco piled up nearly 200
yards on the ground.
Opponents have also geared up
more to stop San Franciscos pass-
ing game while at the same time
trying to keep Kaepernick from
escaping the pocket.
Defenses are going to change
every time we see them,
Kaepernick said. Theyre going
to have new wrinkles so its just
something you have to be ready
for.
Since his big game against
Green Bay, Kaepernick has thrown
more interceptions (four) than
touchdowns (three). Hes complet-
ed more than 13 passes just once
in the past four games, and more
than half of his passing yardage
against Houston came on a 64-
yard completion to tight end
Vernon Davis.
Not even that was enough for
Kaepernick, who scoffed at a sug-
gestion that the play to Davis
might provide a spark for the
offense.
It was another pass play,
Kaepernick said. As far as
momentum for the passing game,
you really just have to play it play
to play depending on what the
defense is doing.
It hasnt helped that
Kaepernicks been throwing to a
receiving group still without its
top two players.
Michael Crabtree has been out
since undergoing surgery in June
after tearing his right Achilles ten-
don in the offseason. Mario
Manningham hasnt played since
injuring his knee in a loss to
Seattle in December and undergo-
ing surgery.
Manningham is expected to
return to practice next week while
coach Jim Harbaugh hinted
Crabtree could be back sometime
in November.
The drop-off without the two has
been clear, however.
Over the past three games only
one wide receiver Anquan
Boldin has caught more than
two passes in a single game. Tight
end Davis had three receptions
against the Texans, but had just
ve for 38 yards in the three previ-
ous weeks.
I think our guys are coming
along ne, Harbaugh said when
asked about the receivers. I feel
good about the way theyre work-
ing, the way theyre preparing.
When you work that hard, good
things are going to happen.
Not e: The 49ers claimed QB
McLeod Bethel-Johnson off
waivers from the Minnesota
Vikings and released journeyman
backup quarterback John Skelton.
Anative of San Francisco, Bethel-
Thompson has not played in an
NFL regular-season game.

SANTACLARA San Francisco
49ers linebacker Aldon Smith was
charged Wednesday with three
felony counts of illegal possession
of an assault weapon, stemming
from a party at his home in June
2012.
The Santa Clara County district
attorneys ofce said in announcing
the charges that Smith is expected
to surrender on his own later this
month. The 24-year-old Smith is on
an indenite leave of absence from
the NFC champion Niners while
undergoing treatment for substance
abuse at an in-patient facility fol-
lowing a DUI arrest Sept. 20.
Weve been aware of the inci-
dent, the serious nature of it. Were
all accountable
for our actions,
good and bad,
49ers coach Jim
Harbaugh said
We d n e s d a y.
Theres a
process, due
process, that
will take place.
I dont feel any
need to comment further on it.
When asked whether Smith
who set a franchise record with 19
1/2 sacks last season would play
again this year, Harbaugh said only,
I dont have any need to further
comment on it.
On Monday, the coach said he had
traded a few text messages with
Smith, saying, Heard that things
are going very well, very positive
reports back.
If convicted, Smith could face up
to four years and four months in
jail, the district attorneys ofce
said.
The preamble to the assault
weapons law states that each assault
weapon has such a high rate of re
and capacity for repower that its
function as a legitimate sports or
recreational rearm is substantially
outweighed by the danger that it can
be used to kill and injure human
beings, District Attorney Jeff
Rosen said. Californias prohibi-
tion of these powerful weapons is
not about hunting or target prac-
tice. It is about interrupting the
long history of death, carnage and
grief assault weapons have inicted
on California communities.
Smith also is likely to face a sus-
pension from the NFL, perhaps
pushed back to next season or after
his legal issues are resolved.
The 49ers issued a statement
Wednesday.
The 49ers organization is aware
of the recent developments with
Aldon arising from an incident at
his home in 2012, the team said.
We recognize the serious nature of
this situation, as does Aldon, and
will continue to monitor it closely.
As this is an ongoing legal matter,
we will have no further comment.
Last month, Smith and former
teammate Delanie Walker were
named in a lawsuit led in Santa
Clara County Superior Court by a
Northern California man who said
he was shot at a party at Smiths
house on June 29, 2012.
The players charged a $10 admis-
sion and $5 per drink, the lawsuit
said. Smith and now-Titans tight
end Walker, 29, were allegedly
intoxicated on Smiths balcony
when they red gunshots in the air
while trying to end the party, the
lawsuit said.
Smith, selected seventh overall
in the 2011 draft out of Missouri,
had previously been arrested on sus-
picion of DUI in January 2012 in
Miami shortly after the 49ers lost
in the NFC championship game.
He is on the reserve non-football
injury list while in rehab, and there
is no NFL minimum for number of
games he must miss while on the
list.

ALAMEDA Running backs Darren
McFadden and Rashad Jennings were back at
practice for the Oakland Raiders on Wednesday
despite being hampered by hamstring
injuries.
McFadden practiced for the rst since get-
ting hurt in the rst half of a game against
Washington on Sept. 29. Jennings was also
back at practice after hurting his hamstring in
the rst half Sunday night against San Diego.
Both players were limited, but it was a good
sign that they could get back on the eld so
early in the week.
That was good, coach Dennis Allen said.
I thought both of them looked pretty good in
practice today in the reps that they took and
hopefully well be able to have both of those
guys during the game.
Getting the running game going this week
against Kansas City (5-0) will be a priority for
the Raiders (2-3). The Chiefs are 30th in the
league allowing 5.3 yards
per carry while ranking
tops in sacks with 21.
The Chiefs have the top
third-down defense in the
NFL, allowing just 23.5
percent to be converted
into rst downs and have
been particularly stingy in
long yardage situations,
allowing just 5 of 47 con-
versions on third and at least 6 yards.
Weve got to be able to stay ahead of the
sticks, quarterback Terrelle Pryor said. You
start getting into third-and-long situations
against these guys and its been tough sled-
ding for a lot of teams this year, when you get
in third-and-long situations.
So weve got to be able to stay on schedule
offensively, stay ahead of the sticks, and when
we do get to third down, weve got to be able
to convert.
The Raiders want to be careful with
McFadden, considering he has missed 24
games in ve-plus seasons with a variety of
injuries.
With a week off next week, Oakland could
choose to rest McFadden to make sure this
hamstring injury doesnt linger.
McFadden had good success against the
Chiefs last season, rushing for more than 100
yards in each meeting. McFadden has been
inconsistent this season.
More than half of his 215 yards rushing
have come on four carries against lowly
Jacksonville on Sept. 15. On his other 49
attempts, McFadden is averaging 2.2 yards a
carry.
But the Raiders still want that big-play abil-
ity on the eld.
If I have the sidekick D-Mac with me well
be good to go, Pryor said. Id love to have D-
Mac playing with me. That would take a lot of
load off of me and the guys will be guessing.
Jennings played well in McFaddens place
against the Redskins, rushing for 45 yards and
catching eight passes for 71 yards. He had 10
carries for 41 yards last week against the
Chargers before the injury.
We really cant wait to have us two as a one-
two punch, both of us going, Jennings said.
It will be fun.
The Raiders have been one of the leagues
top rushing teams so far this season, ranking
ninth with 130.8 yards per game and fourth
with 4.7 yards per carry. They are also tied for
the league lead with nine runs of at least 20
yards.
Much of that success has been helped by the
running of quarterback Terrelle Pryor, who
leads the team with 229 yards rushing and is
averaging 6.2 yards per carry.
Pryors prociency running the read-option
game makes it difcult for defenses to key on
the running back, leading to holes for big
gainers.
I think having Terrelle Pryor back there
helps our running game because hes a guy that
teams have to account for; whether hes got
the ball in his hands or not, teams have to
account for him, Allen said. So, I thought
that helped our run game.

power is starting to come. Ive been hitting
a lot of balls on a line, Chavez said. [The
organization has] been real positive to me,
even more so than I thought they would be.
They want to work with me and give me a
real shot. I didnt have high expectations.
Hard work pays off
It literally is a dream come true for
Chavez, who grew up a Giants fan. He has
spent many an afternoon and evening at
AT&T Park watching the Giants play. While
he would have been happy to sign with any
major league franchise he also had a try-
out with Tampa Bay the fact he was
signed by his favorite team growing up
makes it all that much sweeter.
The Giants, for me, were THE team,
Chavez said. [To be signed by the Giants]
it didnt feel real. I cant believe this was the
rst team to give me my rst tryout.
Becoming a professional athlete, no mat-
ter the sport, not only takes talent, it takes
a bit of luck as well. Chavez has always had
the talent. He was a ame-throwing pitcher
with command issues in high school, but
had the raw ability that makes college
coaches and professional scouts drool. He
decided early on he would take the college
route and committed to playing for the Dons
at USF.
Chavez bounced around the diamond with
the Dons from pitcher to catcher to rst
base. He was drafted in 2010 as a pitcher by
the Chicago White Sox, but Chavez wanted
to be a hitter and he stuck with that deci-
sion.
I wanted to be a hitter. I knew what I
wanted to do. Plenty of people tried to sway
me, (but) I knew I liked hitting too much. I
couldnt give it up, Chavez said. I think
(not wanting to be a pitcher) gave me a bad
rap. [Teams] knew I had a good arm. I could
be a really good pitcher but I love to hit.
Making the adjustment
It is that ability to hit that apparently
piqued the Giants interest. Not so much
what Chavez did in college, but what he did
during his one season of independent ball.
You see, Chavez admitted he was never
quite good swinging a metal or composite
bat the choice of youth, high school and
college players.
Put a wood bat in Chavezs hands, howev-
er, and it was a different story.
One of the hardest things baseball players
have to do to be a successful pro is learn to
hit with a wood bat, which is easier said
than the done. Metal bats were invented not
only because they were more durable, but
they were much more forgiving. You didnt
have to be Ted Williams or Tony Gywnn to
be successful with a metal bat. The number
of players who washed out of the minors
because they couldnt consistently make the
switch is astronomical.
Chavez, apparently, hasnt had those
issues.
If you look at my stats in college, they
werent completely terrible, but to me, they
were terrible. I could never get in a groove
with those metal bats, Chavez said. Ive
always done [well] with wood. Ive done
well from the rst time I picked up a wood
bat. I was just off with the metal bat.
Taking a circuitous route
Like a sh takes to water, Chavez took to
wood and took off in his post-college base-
ball career. After not having an idea of how
to go about becoming a professional base-
ball player, Chavez nally decided to try the
independent league route independent in
that the teams in those leagues have no afl-
iation with a Major League Baseball organi-
zation.
I didnt necessarily know where every-
thing would go (in my baseball career),
Chavez said. I just had to keep my hopes
and dreams up and keep working.
Chavezs fi rst at t empt was i n t he
well-publicized Frontier League. But
when he showed up for a tryout, he was
one of about 400 players.
He knew his chances of getting noticed
were bleak and did not know where to go
from there until his mother stepped in for
the first time and informed him of the
Freedom Pro Baseball League tryout.
It was kind of a start-up league, (but) I
knew I could play every day, Chavez said.
I ended up doing real well. I knew I needed
to make things happen in one year.
In 39 games, Chavez won the league bat-
ting title with a .430 average, led the league
in home runs with 12 and tied for RBI lead
with 49.
And his reward for putting up those num-
bers? Nothing.
I got nothing out of that (attention wise
from major league teams), Chavez said. I
did have the stats, but nobody called me. No
one was out at the games. I was just playing
to practice my skills.
Then came the fortuitous call from his
mother, telling him to go see the dentist.
Did she know Dr. Sarles had a connection
with the Giants front ofce? Maybe. Maybe
not. But as they say, mom knows best.
A familiar story
Now Chavez is embarking on a similar
path took by former College of San Mateo
standout Daniel Nava, who is now an inte-
gral part of the Boston Red Sox. Nava start-
ed his career with an independent league
team and parlayed that into a Major League
career. Chavez followed Navas story and
gures, if Nava can do it, why cant he?
[Navas] story partially kept me going in
the game of baseball, Chavez said. He
played Indy ball and it worked out for him.
As long as I keep my hopes up, I can do
something like that, too.
Now I have to put up some numbers here
(in instructional league).

LOS ANGELES Vasyl Lomachenko
arrives at the Wild Card Boxing Club with
his gloves crammed into a large brown paper
bag, and he wears the striking blue-and-yel-
low gear of the Ukrainian Olympic team
when he climbs into the ring.
His father and trainer, Anatoly, clicks the
stopwatch around his neck while
Lomachenko does everything from standard
bag work to a two-man wheelbarrow crawl
around the canvas. Later, Lomachenko puts
on a cap with a small ball attached by a
springy cord. He jabs the ball repeatedly
away from him, treating it like a speed bag
in an astonishing display of coordination.
As anybody who saw the most accom-
plished amateur boxer of his generation in
Beijing or London could attest,
Lomachenko has an inimitable style. When
the two-time Olympic gold medalist makes
his pro debut Saturday night at the Thomas
and Mack Center in Las Vegas, hell contin-
ue to do things in a way few ghters could
imagine.
If everything works out the way we hope,
this kid will be the hottest thing in all of
boxing, said Bob Arum, his star-struck pro-
moter. Ive seen some things Ive never
seen in my life. He could revolutionize the
way things are done.
Instead of several short warm-up ghts to
build his experience and confidence,
Lomachenko will debut in a 10-round bout
with Jose Luis Ramirez (24-2-2), a respected
Mexican featherweight. Instead of a gradual
move toward the top, Lomachenko is con-
tractually guaranteed a 126-pound world title
shot in his second ght if he wins his rst.

WHATS ON TAP
By Antonio Gonzalez
STANFORD Stanford special
teams coach Pete Alamar
approached star linebacker Shayne
Skov before a recent game to
deliver some upsetting news.
With Skov playing so many
snaps on defense, coaches needed
to nd a way to give him more
rest. So they decided to slice
Skovs time on special teams in
half.
I said, Hey, Ive got to take
you off one team. Im going to
take you off punt and leave you on
kickoff coverage,Alamar said. I
thought he was going to cry.
Skovs reaction epitomized the
way Stanford players treat special
teams as a blessing, not a bur-
den.
From projected All-Americans
and NFLdraft picks to backups and
fringe freshmen, Stanfords spe-
cial teams unit is an all-encom-
passing club. The mix of talent
also is a big reason the fifth-
ranked Cardinal (5-0, 3-0 Pac-12)
are still undefeated entering
Saturdays game at Utah (3-2, 0-2).
Last week, Washington out-
gained Stanford 489 to 284 yards.
The Huskies had 30 rst downs,
while the Cardinal nished with
14. And yet Stanford still won 31-
28.
The difference? Special teams.
Ty Montgomery racked up 204
yards returning, including going
99 yards untouched for a TD on the
opening kickoff. He also returned
another 72 yards late in the third
quarter to set up the winning score.
We know how important all
three phases are. When we say all
three phases, we mean all three of
them, said Montgomery, who is
averaging 33.5 yards per kickoff
return, third-best in the nation.
The units success has been on
both sides of the return game.
Stanford is allowing just four
yards per punt return, tied with
Oregon for second-best in the con-
ference and 24th in the nation.
And the Cardinal are giving up
18.5 yards per kickoff, ranking
second in the Pac-12 and 20th in
the nation.
Jordan Williamson is 9 for 11 on
eld goals, the highest percentage
of the redshirt juniors college
career. The misses came from 52
and 51 yards.
The Cardinal blocked two punts
in a 42-28 win over then-No. 23
Arizona State on Sept. 21. Perhaps
Stanfords lone lapse on special
teams this season came last week,
when Travis Coons ran 19 yards
run on a fake punt that extended a
touchdown drive for Washington
in the third quarter.
It doesnt necessarily spread
the message that its important as
much as it does reinforce it,
Alamar said. They know it, but
its good to see it.

decit in the fourth period, tying the score at 7 with 1:23
left in regulation on a goal from John Knox off an assist
from Mostyn Fero.
The Bears nearly stole the ball on the restart and, with the
ball bobbing loose, Weston Avery swam over and made the
play of the match.
Avery scooped up the ball at midpool and swam toward the
side, with a M-A defender in hot pursuit. Avery turned the
corner and, with the defender on his shoulder, drove past
him and on goal. The defenders only choice was to foul
Avery, who drew a 5-meter penalty shot with 47 seconds left
to play. Nick Bisconti set up and buried the ensuing penalty
into the right corner of the cage to put the Knights up 8-7.
The Bears had one last chance to tie the match, but could
not get off a shot coming out of timeout with seven seconds
left.
I just saw the ball there, Avery said. I was going for the
goal but, when I felt the defender on my back, I could have
tried for the kickout or the 5-meter shot.
The burst of speed even caught off guard Avery, who has
been swimming his whole life.
I dont think I usually go that fast, Avery said. It was an
adrenaline rush.
Bowen said Averys goal late in the third period set up his
drive late in the fourth.
The fact he is such a threat (to shoot), the defender has to
defend him that much harder, Bowen said. He took a cir-
cuitous route (to the goal). That one move will be a snap-
shot of Weston Avery.
There is no question not much separates these two squads.
Menlo (6-0, 14-2 overall) took the rst meeting between
the two teams 10-8 in the Bay Division opener and, while
the Bears closed the gap a little bit more the second time
around, Menlo had enough to hold them off.
Twice in the rst period, the Bears took a goal lead, only
to see the Knights come right back to tie the score.
The rst four-plus minutes of the rst period was a defen-
sive battle before M-A nally cracked the scoreboard on a
goal from Knox, who converted a 5-meter penalty shot with
2:37 to play in the opening quarter.
Menlo came right back, however, tying the score 21 sec-
onds later on a shot from Tegan Nibbi. About 30 seconds
later, the Bears took a 2-1 lead on a Jack Beasley score but,
13 seconds after that, the match was tied again following
Biscontis rst goal of the match.
Menlo went on to score the rst three goals of the second
period to take a 5-2 lead and never trailed again. Chris Xis
goal with 3:55 to play before halftime gave the Knights a 3-
2 lead. Bisconti off an assist from Andreas Katsis put
Menlo up 4-2 with 2:46 to play and Katsis capped the scor-
ing urry with a goal off an assist from Avery.
M-Agot a goal back with 47 seconds remaining from Jace
Blazensky to cut the Bears decit to 5-3.
The Bears had a chance to make it a one-goal game with
mere seconds to play in the half when Blazensky had a 1-on-
1 with Menlo goaltender John Wilson. Blazensky red off
his shot from close range, but Wilson blocked it.
That block proved to be crucial because the Bears scored
the rst two goals of the third period on shots from Matt
Baszucki and Fero, which tied the match at 5-all.
Menlo responded, however, by scoring the next two goals
to take a 7-5 lead going into the nal seven minutes. Xis
second goal of the match gave the Knights a 6-5 lead and
Averys goal off an assist from Bisconti gave Menlo a two-
goal advantage.
M-Aresponded with goals from Baszucki and Knox to tie
the match and set up the nal dramatic minutes.
It means so much (to beat M-A), after losing to them last
year, Avery said.
POLO
re and right away he pitched very well with a lot of con-
dence and always has that mound presence.
Melvin said he doesnt know how he might use, if at all,
18-game winner and Game 1 loser Bartolo Colon, who is
willing to do anything. He hasnt been ruled out as a reliev-
er.
Obviously we had two great options, Melvin said.
Verlander dominated in a thrilling pitchers duel with Gray,
who matched the ace as each threw zeros but had nothing to
show for it in a 1-0 As win.
Im not really sure we liked what we saw, it was pretty
good, Tigers manager Jim Leyland said of Gray. At least
weve seen him now.
Verlander is riding a 22-inning postseason scoreless
streak against the As, and has 33 strikeouts over the past
three playoff matchups with Oakland, 11 in each outing.
Not that the As are counting.
Hes been beaten before, it can happen again, third base-
man Josh Donaldson said.
Verlander acknowledged it would have been great to pitch
the playoff opener, while also noting 21-game winner Max
Scherzer more than earned the nod. Now, Verlander gets the
ball for his most meaningful start this year to extend the
season Thursday night.
We all have a lot of condence, were playing at home, we
know what were up against in Verlander, As shortstop Jed
Lowrie said. Were all prepared for one, winner-take-all sce-
nario.
With Scherzer pitching in relief Tuesday, Verlander became
the automatic Game 5 choice for manager Jim Leyland.
Thats kind of why we pitched him Game 2 so wed have
an option, Leyland said. We were in a pretty good comfort
zone to pitch Verlander if necessary, and it was necessary
because we had to win (Tuesday). Were comfortable any time
Verlander goes out there.
Both clubs chose to use Wednesday as a full day off without
on-eld workouts after two long ights in four days.
Who to start was quite a choice for 2012 ALManager of the
Year Melvin, whose team is trying to avoid having the sea-
son end at the hands of Detroit for the third time in as many
postseasons last year and also a four-game sweep by the
Tigers in the 2006 ALchampionship series.
The last time the As won a winner-take-all postseason
game was in Game 7 of the 1973 World Series against the
New York Mets. Oakland has lost its last ve Game 5s in the
ALdivision series since 2000.
The AL West champion As know whats at stake and
realize full well the challenge of facing Verlander again. Last
falls frustrating nish is still fresh for everybody.
We feel like this time we have a better chance to turn the
tide, Melvin said. Its awfully tough to go out there each
and every time and consistently beat a team in the fashion
that he has with us.

ST. LOUIS Adam Wainwright went all the way and the St.
Louis Cardinals got two-run homers from David Freese and Matt
Adams to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-1 on Wednesday night,
advancing to the NLchampionship series.
Wainwright scattered eight hits in his second dominant win of
the division series, coming through for the Cardinals in a winner-
take-all Game 5.
St. Louis gets to stay at home to open the NLCS against the
well-rested Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night.
The last three seasons, the Cardinals are 8-1 when facing elim-
ination. They also won Game 5 of the NL division series at
Washington last year and at Philadelphia in 2011.
Freese homered in the second inning off rookie Gerrit Cole and
Adams connected in the eighth against reliever Mark Melancon
to make it 5-1. Pete Kozma added an RBI ineld single, and
Wainwright nished it off by striking out Pedro Alvarez with two
on.
Alvarez became the rst player with an RBI in his rst six post-
season games on a uke hit that caromed off rst base in the sev-
enth. But the Pirates were held to one run in each of the nal two
games in their rst playoff appearance in 21 years. They havent
won a postseason series since the 1979 World Series.
The 23-year-old Cole beat the Cardinals with an impressive
effort in Game 2. They got to him early this time even though his
fastball hit 100 mph in the rst inning against Matt Holliday.
Freese made the kid pay for a full-count walk to Jon Jay with
two outs in the second, lining a 1-2 pitch into the visitors
bullpen in left.
The Pirates had the bullpen up in the fourth after Yadier
Molinas ineld hit and a throwing error put runners on second
and third. Cole gave up just three hits over ve innings, but was
lifted for a pinch-hitter in the sixth.
Freese struggled this season to overcome a back injury in
spring training and had nine homers and 60 RBIs. But just like
teammate Carlos Beltran, hes an October star with seven
homers, 29 RBIs and a .325 average in 36 career postseason
games.
Adams power hitting helped the Cardinals overcame a mid-
foot sprain to cleanup man Allen Craig in early September and he
hammered a rst-pitch fastball from Melancon well over the
right-eld wall for his rst RBIs of the series.

in that category. If I had a few games that
must be circled, Id say they would be Terra
Nova at Menlo School Oct. 25, Terra Nova
at Sacred Heart Prep Nov. 8 and Menlo ver-
sus Sacred Heart Prep Nov. 15 at Sequoia
High School.
The Ocean Division, at this point,
appears to be a two-team race between
Aragon and Burlingame. Those two teams
are a combined 7-1, while the other four
teams in the division are 4-13.
San Mateo and Woodside, however, have
played arguably the toughest non-league
schedule of the group, so it remains to be
seen if there is a benet to that. The com-
bined record of the Bearcats opponents is
12-11, with Gunn (1-4) and Berkeley (2-3)
the only teams under .500. Woodsides has
been even tougher, with a combined record
of 13-6 and losses to Bay Division teams
Sequoia and Sacred Heart Prep.
The championship of the Ocean could be
decided as soon as next week when
Burlingame travels to Aragon for a 7 p.m.
start Oct. 18.
The Lake Division should be as competi-
tive as the Bay Division, as nearly every
team has a shot at winning the division
title. Having seen the El Camino-Aragon
matchup earlier this season, I would say
the frontrunner for the championship
would be the Colts. They appear to have
the grind-it-out offensive style and y
around defensively to make things tough
on the rest of the division. Mills, howev-
er, might have a say in that. The Vikings
are off to a 3-1 start this season, just like
El Camino. They have the most prolic
offense in the division during non-league
play, averaging more than 37 points per
game.
Carlmont, Hillsdale and Kings Academy
all gure to have a say in who wins what as
well. All three are 2-2 so far this season
and, with a few breaks, Hillsdale could eas-
ily have a 3-1 record.
Games to watch in this division include
El Camino at Mills 3 p.m. Friday and
Kings Academy at Hillsdale Nov. 8.
Tomorrow in the Daily Journal, we will
more closely break down each team in each
division to give fans a better primer on
what to expect in PAL play this season.

Alot of people may think of athletic
trainers as rst responders when it comes
to injuries on the football eld.
Actually, usually the rst people to know
there is a problem are the referees. At the
high school level, not only are referees
there to ofciate the game, they are also
imperative to the safety of the players.
Last Friday night during the Sacred Heart
Prep at Woodside football game, a Gators
player suffered a broken leg. Ofcial Mike
Mancini was the rst person on the scene,
at the players side before the play even
ended.
Mancini, a former head coach at Sequoia,
said he heard the bone snap and immediate-
ly tried to take the players mind off the
injury. Mancini said he asked the kids
name, which was the same as his.
Trainers were on the scene moments later
and luckily paramedics were at the game
and began to stabilize the injury as soon as
possible as everyone waited for the ambu-
lance.
If not for the quick reactions of Mancini
and the paramedics, the whole situation
could have been a lot worse.

SAN MARTIN The chill of the morning
air in California. Veteran players discreetly
looking at golf bags on the practice range
so they can put names to the faces they have
never seen. Young players concerned about
getting into enough tournaments. Aparking
lot lled with Mercedes-Benz courtesy cars.
Everything about the Frys.com Open
looks and feels like a new season on the
PGATour.
Except for the calendar.
Just 18 days after Henrik Stenson tapped
in for par and collected the $10 million
FedEx Cup bonus at East Lake, the new PGA
Tour season gets underway at CordeValle.
Its the rst time the tour starts its season in
one calendar year and nishes it in another.
Im back to zero, Stewart Cink said. I
like the fact I dont have to be No. 76 any-
more. I can hopefully establish something
new.
Cink was No. 76 in the FedEx Cup play-
offs last month until he failed to advance to
the next round after the Deutsche Bank
Championship. He has been home for the
last ve weeks his offseason before
packing his bags and heading to the airport.
And to his surprise, it reminded him of head-
ing off to Hawaii or California in winter,
just like the old days on the PGATour.
The last six or seven years, I went to fall
tournaments and didnt have that amped-up
feel. I didnt feel like I was in the heat of
things, Cink said. I had my charity event,
this and that. My mind was so elsewhere. I
went to play just to play. You hit a lot of
shots; you play a lot of holes. Coming here,
I feel a little bit more of a hunger.
Since the FedEx Cup began in 2007, the
tour had a half-dozen events that were noth-
ing more than playing opportunities for the
restless or a time for others to make enough
money to secure their cards for the follow-
ing season. Winning didnt come with an
invitation to the Masters. It didnt count
toward the FedEx Cup. Now it does.
To avoid losing sponsorship of the fall
tournaments (and some $25 million in prize
money), the tour made them part of the
FedEx Cup season.
This new system has given these fall
events greater credibility, John Senden
said.

NATION
Asked if she blamed Obama, House
Republicans, Senate Democrats or the tea
party for the shutdown, Blair, an independ-
ent, said yes, you bet. All of them. Shes
paid to y with a group to four national
parks in Arizona and California next month
and says she cant get her money back or
reschedule if the parks remain closed. Im
concerned, she said, but it seems kind of
trivial to people who are being shut out of
work.
The poll found that the tea party is more
than a gang of malcontents in the political
landscape, as its supporters in Congress
have been portrayed by Democrats. Rather,
its a sizable and divisive force among
Republicans. More than 4 in 10 Republicans
identied with the tea party and were more
apt than other Republicans to insist that
their leaders hold rm in the standoff over
reopening government and avoiding a
default of the nations debt in coming weeks.
Most Americans disapprove of the way
Obama is handling his job, the poll sug-
gests, with 53 percent unhappy with his per-
formance and 37 percent approving of it.
Congress is scraping rock bottom, with a
ghastly approval rating of 5 percent.
Indeed, anyone making headlines in the
dispute has earned poor marks for his or her
trouble, whether its Democrat Harry Reid,
the Senate majority leader, or Republican
John Boehner, the House speaker, both with
a favorability rating of 18 percent.
And much of the country draws a blank on
Republican Ted Cruz of Texas despite his 21-
hour Senate speech before the shutdown.
Only half in the poll were familiar enough
with him to register an opinion. Among
those who did, 32 percent viewed him unfa-
vorably, 16 percent favorably.
Tom Moore, 69, of Syracuse, N.Y., a
retired electronics executive and
Republican-leaning independent, said the
GOP has made some good points, badly. The
idea of delaying the health care laws indi-
vidual insurance mandate for a year, for
example, strikes him as reasonable, but not
when such demands come from hard-liners
like Cruz.
I think the Republicans have done a very
poor job of communicating their mission,
he said. Theyve been ostracized for trying
to bring reality to our budgets.
But hes not in tune with the animosity
many Republicans exhibit toward the presi-
dent. Obama, he said, is a compassionate,
reasonable and likable man who has set the
wrong priorities a social mission in
a time begging for economic renewal.
Comparisons could not be drawn conclu-
sively with how people viewed leaders
before the shutdown because the poll was
conducted online, while previous AP-GfK
surveys were done by telephone. Some
changes may be due to the new methodolo-
gy, not shifts in opinion. The poll provides
a snapshot of public opinion starting in the
third day of the shutdown.
The poll comes with both sides dug in and
trading blame while an unprecedented
national default approaches if nothing is
done to raise the debt limit. Obama invited
all 232 House GOP lawmakers to the White
House on Thursday Republicans said 18
would come. His meeting with congression-
al leaders last week produced no results.
Obama is insisting Republicans reopen
government and avert default before any
negotiations on decit reduction or his 2010
health care law are held.
Among the surveys findings:
Sixty-eight percent said the shutdown is
a major problem for the country, including
majorities of Republicans (58 percent),
Democrats (82 percent) and independents
(57 percent).
Fifty-two percent said Obama is not
doing enough to cooperate with
Republicans to end the shutdown; 63 percent
say Republicans arent doing enough to
cooperate with him.
Republicans are split on just how much
cooperation they want. Among those who
do not back the tea party, fully 48 percent
say their party should be doing more with
Obama to nd a solution. But only 15 per-
cent of tea-party Republicans want that out-
reach. The vast majority of them say GOP
leaders are doing what they should with the
president, or should do even less with him.
People seem conicted or confused about
the showdown over the debt limit. Six in 10
predict an economic crisis if the govern-
ments ability to borrow isnt renewed later
this month with an increase in the debt limit
an expectation widely shared by econo-
mists. Yet only 30 percent say they support
raising the limit; 46 percent were neutral on
the question.
In Mount Prospect, Ill., Barbara Olpinski,
51, a Republican who blames Obama and
both parties for the shutdown, said her fami-
ly is already seeing an impact and that will
worsen if the impasse goes on. Shes an in-
home elderly care director, her daughter is a
physicians assistant at a rural clinic that
treats patients who rely on government cov-
erage, and her husband is a doctor who cant
get u vaccines for patients on public assis-
tance because deliveries have stopped.
People dont know how they are going to
pay for things, and what will be covered,
she said. Everybody is kind of like holding
their wallets.
Moore traveled to Las Vegas with his wife
and Florida relatives hoping to see Red Rock
Canyon, only to nd the national conserva-
tion area closed. Instead they went to
Hoover Dam, also a federal property but one
that has remained open because it is not
nanced with congressional appropriations.
Not a catastrophe, he said, but he doesnt
know when theyll go again.
The AP-GfK Poll was conducted Oct. 3-7
and involved online interviews with 1,227
adults. The survey has a margin of sampling
error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points
for all respondents.
The survey used GfKs KnowledgePanel, a
probability-based Internet panel designed to
be representative of the U.S. population.
Respondents to the survey were rst selected
randomly using phone or mail survey meth-
ods, and were later interviewed for this sur-
vey online. People selected for
KnowledgePanel who didnt have online
access were given that access at no cost to
them.

NEW YORK Three U.S.-based scien-
tists won a Nobel Prize on Wednesday for
developing a powerful new way to do chem-
istry on a computer.
They pioneered highly sophisticated
computer simulations of complex chemical
processes, giving researchers tools they are
now using for a wide variety of tasks, such
as designing new drugs and solar cells.
Today the computer is just as important a
tool for chemists as the test tube, the
Swedish Academy of Sciences said in
announcing this years $1.2 million chem-
istry prize. Simulations are so realistic
that they predict the outcome of traditional
experiments.
As academy secretary Staffan Normark put
it: This years prize is about taking the
chemical experiment to cyberspace.
The prize honored research done in the
1970s by Martin Karplus, Michael Levitt
and Arieh Warshel.
All three scientists became U.S. citizens.
Karplus came to the U.S. with his family as
Jewish refugees from Nazi-occupied Austria
in 1938. The 83-year-old U.S. and Austrian
citizen splits his time between the
University of Strasbourg in France and
Harvard University.
Levitt, 66, was born in South Africa and is
a British, U.S., and Israeli citizen. He is a
professor at Stanford University. Warshel,
72, was born in Israel and is a U.S. and
Israeli citizen afliated with the University
of Southern California in Los Angeles.
Levitt is a biology professor, while the two
other winners are chemistry professors.
Levitt told the Associated Press the award
recognized him for work he did when he was
20, before he even had his Ph.D.
It was just me being in the right place at
the right time and maybe having a few good
ideas, he said by telephone from his home
in California. He joked that the biggest
immediate impact of the prize would be his
need for dance lessons before appearing at
the Nobel banquet.
When you go to Stockholm, you have to
do ballroom dancing, Levitt said. This is
the big problem I have right now.
Karplus told the AP the 5 a.m. call from
the Nobel judges had him worried that the
caller might be bearing bad news. Usually
you think when you get a call at 5 oclock
in the morning its going to be bad news,
you know, somethings happened, he
said.
Warshel, speaking by telephone to a
news conference in Stockholm, said he was
extremely happy to be awakened in the
middle of the night in Los Angeles to get
the good news.
The three men were honored for blending
two previous approaches for simulating
molecules and chemical reactions on com-
puters. One was quantum physics, which
applies on the scale of an atom, and the
other was classical Newtonian physics,
which operates at larger scales.
Classical physics could simulate large
molecules but not chemical reactions.
Quantum physics could give realistic results
for reactions but couldnt be used with large
molecules because the equations were too
complex to solve.
The blended approach, which uses quan-
tum mechanics only for key parts of mole-
cules and classical physics for the rest, pro-
vides the accuracy of the quantum approach
with manageable computations.
Working together at Harvard in the early
1970s, Karplus and Warshel developed a
computer program that brought together
classical and quantum physics. Warshel
later joined forces with Levitt at the
Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel and
at the University of Cambridge in Britain to
develop a program that could be used to
study enzymes.

Halloween, the holiday built around the
twin pleasures of playing dress-up and eat-
ing too much candy, is obviously a hit with
children.
But send invitations to your grown-up
friends and youll probably find they
havent outgrown the urge to don creepy
costumes and celebrate in spooky, theatrical
style.
Want to host a party that merges
Halloween fun with grown-up sophistica-
tion? Turning your home into a haunted
mansion is surprisingly easy, says interior
designer Brian Patrick Flynn, founder of
Flynnside Out Productions.
Just ditch the cheerful orange pumpkins
and smiling ghosts for darker, more creative
dicor.
Stay away from anything cute, Flynn
says, and instead opt for creepy-chic.
Here Flynn and two other design experts
Jon Call of Mr. Call Designs and the lat-
est HGTV Star winner, Tiffany Brooks
offer decorating advice for a memorable,
stylish and affordable Halloween party.
NATURAL FABRICS
Cheesecloth evokes ancient mummies,
while burlap brings to mind scarecrows.
Both fabrics are inexpensive and light-
weight, but sturdy perfect for Halloween
party tablecloths.
These solid-color pieces also have a more
adult feel than the whimsical prints on
Halloween tablecloths or napkins designed
for kids.
Call likes using large sheets of brown
craft paper on buffet tables or as a runner
down the center of a Halloween dining table.
Cluster small gourds (the darker and more
oddly shaped, the better) along the runner,
he says, then add a few large pillar candles.
Easily and inexpensively, youve
knocked out a table thats great for any fall
holiday, Call says. And cleanup is simple:
After a party, throw the paper out.
Flynn says you can make your homes
entryway extra creepy by soaking large
pieces of cheesecloth in tea, then shredding
the cloth once its dry. Hang the pieces from
the ceiling above your porch or drape it
from walls with a few well-placed nails to
Halloween parties for adults

You dont need to live on the prairie to
have a prairie garden. Natural landscapes
featuring mainly native plants are being
sown in yards across North America as envi-
ronmentally friendly alternatives to turf
grass.
These durable plant combinations include
owers, shrubs and trees. They require little
attention, add year-round color and interest
and provide wildlife-friendly habitat.
Many species found in prairies are native
to other plant communities found outside
the Midwest, such as woodland openings,
meadows and barrens, as well as mountain
and desert habitats, says Lynn Steiner of
Stillwater, Minn., author of Prairie Style
Gardens (Timber Press. 2010). And even if
these plants arent native to your area, they
are still often better choices than exotic
plants that come from outside North
America.
City and suburban gardens often arent
large enough to support meadows, but many
prairie plants adapt well to smaller spaces,
she said.
They tolerate less fertile soils, reducing
the need for synthetic fertilizers. They
thrive on less water, reducing water use. And
they dont require heavy fossil-fuel input
from mowing and trimming, Steiner said in
an email.
Margaret Brittingham, an extension
wildlife specialist with Penn State
University, said it takes some effort to get
prairie plants established but once done,
theyre easy to handle.
Theyre great for attracting birds and but-
teries, she said. You can use them for cut
owers, too.
To keep neighbors happy and win ofcial
approval from municipalities, make the
conversion from lawn to meadow look tend-
ed and not unkempt, Brittingham said.
Some design suggestions:
Create borders using hedges, mowed
edges, low fences or walkways. They act as
buffers, keep plants from obstructing sight
lines and frame an otherwise natural land-
scape, Brittingham said.
Start small. Save money by converting
from turf to meadow in manageable yet visi-
ble pieces. First, eliminate any trouble
spots on the lawn, and then expand gradual-
l y, mimicking natures processes of gradual
succession.
Find the right plants for the right sites.
Dont plant sun-loving prairie owers under
shade trees, or plants that like their feet dry
in low spots that collect run-off.
Go native. Non-native species generally
have less wildlife value, Brittingham said,
and are often invasive, eliminating many
native species. Check the noxious weed
control lists issued for your area and ensure
that none are included among the seeds you
sow or in the containers you plant.
Help spread the word. Draw a map of your
natural landscape and make it available
through brochures placed around your yard.
You might even include a listing of the
plants you used and where you got them,
Brittingham said.
Humanize the project. Add yard art or
something personal and whimsical, Steiner
said. For accent and embellishment, rusted
iron sculptural pieces blend nicely with the

conjure up the feel of a haunted house.
DARK AND DANGEROUS COLORS
All three designers suggest using a
muted palette of grays, browns and
black. Brooks suggests spray-paint-
ing pumpkins glossy gray to create a
glamorous centerpiece.
Use orange only as an accent,
Flynn says, perhaps adding a few
orange napkins to an otherwise black
and gray table setting.
You can also create a dramatic scene
by spray-painting empty wine bottles
in a matte black, he says, then replac-
ing the labels with your own cre-
ations: Using scrapbooking labels or
cardstock and a Sharpie, come up with
creepy names for the liquids suppos-
edly in the bottles.
Flynn also suggests buying inex-
pensive wooden birdhouses or cheap
Christmas village houses, then
spraying them with dark gray or black
paint to create a mini-ghost town for
display on your buffet table or bar.
WEIRD WALLS
Take down any cheerful artwork and
replace it with old portraits from
thrift shops or flea markets.
Halloween stores sell deliberately
creepy portraits made for this pur-
pose, but its more fun to hunt down
real paintings, says Flynn.
Brooks agrees that this easy deco-
rating move can transform the feel of
a room, especially if the room will be
lit only by candles. (She plans to shut
off her electricity entirely during a
Halloween party this year, filling
each room with just enough black pil-
lar candles to provide dim, flickering
light.)
Once youve hung your new gallery
of portraits, Flynn suggests taping
tiny pieces of black construction
paper over the eyeballs in the pictures
for a haunted mansion feel.
SERIOUS THINGS
Flynn also recommends trolling
thrift shops and flea markets for items
that evoke dusty, dated Victorian
style, or midcentury pieces that seem
lifted from a 60s Hitchcock movie.
Fill old apothecary jars and other
glass containers with water tinted
with yellow and green food coloring
to suggest formaldehyde. Then drop
anything tiny plastic animals,
seed pods, bits of moss into the
colorful liquid. Or create terrariums by
filling glass vases with twigs, moss,
and tiny plastic bugs and snakes.
Seek out second-hand treasures: real
or fake taxidermy, stone bust book-
ends, antique dolls and toys, and vin-
tage books and laboratory or surgical
equipment.
If youre lucky, you might even
come across some old mannequin
heads. What was once a wig display
can serve as an eye-popping
Halloween centerpiece.
Other inexpensive additions to your
party space: Fill vases with bare
branches spray-painted black, tying a
few small bats from a craft store to the
limbs.
Flynn also suggests slipping belts
around the backs of chairs to suggest
that dinner guests may not escape the
table easily.
And Brooks recommends using a
hodgepodge of mismatched and even
scratched dishes from thrift shops
(cleaned well, of course) to give your
table an off-kilter, haunted house feel.
A finishing touch to inspire
Halloween guests: One of my neigh-
bors here is an actor, says Brooks,
who lives in Antioch, Ill. So shes
going to come in as a guest and get
the conversation going in a creepy
direction.
Chances are you know at least one
person who would take on the role of
spooky storyteller or mystery visi-
tor, adding a layer of theater to the
party.
PARTIES
percent but a San Mateo County
Superior Court judge stepped in by
the end of the night and issued an
emergency injunction. The following
days up to yesterday were a back-and-
forth of meetings and orders, with the
CPUC Tuesday directing PG&E to
keep the 3.8-mile gas line out of
service not completely shut down
but with pressure reduced until
after an investigation confirms its
safety.
On Thursday, PG&E is expected to
return to court and asked Judge
George Miram to lift the injunction
because the CPUC has the authority.
Line 147 dates from 1929 and runs
east to west parallel to Brittan
Avenue through densely developed
neighborhoods. In one email shared
with the city of San Carlos, former
engineer David Harrison questioned if
the city is sitting on another San
Bruno situation in reference to the
Sept. 9, 2010 gas line explosion and
fire that killed eight, injured dozens
and destroyed 38 homes. Harrisons
concerns were raised in November
2012 but San Carlos was not
informed until late week. PG&E
hydrotested the line in 2011 and
reported no problems but the compa-
ny later amended its report to the
CPUC to reflect that it tested to only
1.5 times the maximum allowable
operating pressure.
Harrison noted a thin wall pipe with
external corrosion and questioned if
the 2011 testing caused more crack-
ing and a threat of failure.
PG&E representatives argue the
line is safe and independent metallur-
gic tests showed that an October
2012 leak was caused by external cor-
ruption and not a seam rupture.
In an earlier issued statement,
PG&E said it is also assuring safety
by replacing a 20-inch valve,
installing anti-corrosion protections
and regularly assessing the line.

SAFETY
Bedrooms for
the modern kid
By Kim Cook
Like a lot of modern decor, childrens rooms are enjoying
a rethinking.
No longer restrained by old-school ideals for juvenile
decor, these spaces now feature elements that transcend gen-
res and traditional gender themes. Decorators and retailers
offer options that ing the design doors wide open and
how much fun is that for a child?
So lets check out whats cool, cozy and clever for kids
rooms.
New York designer Amanda Nisbet uses elements like pop
art, 70s modern furniture, and crisp, energetic hues like
bright yellow, soda orange and magenta to make bedrooms
lively, friendly and fun. (www.amandanisbetdesign.com )
Nancy Twomey of Alexandria, Va., blends neutral hues
with dashes of gentle color soft coral, sea blue, fresh pea
green and adds whimsical notes such as mirrored rabbit
decals, papier mache safari animal wall art and ceramic tree
stump tables to create charming, sophisticated rooms that
children could enjoy from crib to college. (www. nni-
ansmoon.com )
In modern families, some kids divide their sleeping time
between a couple of households, often in rooms that serve
another function when the child isnt there. Providing such
spaces requires a little extra thought and ingenuity, says
Ikea North Americas U.S. design leader, Josee Berlin. The
aim is to help children feel at ease in their sleeping area.
Achilds own space can be as simple as a soft, comfort-
able, cozy bed. Smart options like the old-fashioned, tried
and true bunk bed can really transform a space for many chil-
dren, Berlin says.
Ikeas Kritter, Gulliver and Hemnes models would serve
well as daybeds. (www.ikea.com )
Acurtained rod can divide rooms like ofces or large bed-
rooms into smaller spaces for young visitors. Get some-
thing comfy underfoot a uffy, fun shag or a warm, at-
weave rug. If carpeting isnt an option, heat the bedroom
oors from below.
Its best not to make the theme of a childs room too nar-
row, says Jami Supsic, an editor at Country Living maga-
zine.
A stumbling block for many when they design their
childs rooms is that they make it all about the time period
the childs in at that moment. This leaves no room for
growth or change, she says. Use accessories and toys to
identify the age of your child, but leave walls, window treat-
ments and furnishings mature.
If your daughter loves princesses, dont buy everything
from bedding to wallpaper go with an overall look that
suggests the theme.

By Sarah Wolfe
Beautiful and sturdy with a air
for the dramatic, alliums are a
graceful way to add color and
architectural dimension to your
garden.
With large globes of tiny white,
purple, yellow or blue owers that
rise from bulbs on slender green
stems as high as 4 feet tall, they
look like giant, uffy lollipops
something Willy Wonka would
have planted in the Chocolate
Factory garden.
Most bloom in late spring or
early summer, so they ll the gap
between spring bulbs and summer
perennials.
Theyre also easy to grow, and
resistant to deer and many other
pests.
For people who are considering
planting them, my advice is, dont
think twice. Do it, says Michaela
Lica Butler, a 38-year-old mother
and gardener in Schweich,
Germany, who has planted the
giant, purple Globemaster allium
for years.
VARIETIES
While many people think of the
trademark Globemasters found in
Butlers garden, there are dozens
of varieties of ornamental alli-
ums.
Try the shimmering white ow-
ers of the Mount Everest allium, or
the fuchsia with metallic under-
tones in the Stars of Persia vari-
ety, says Kim Fusaro, head garden-
er at the Mohonk Mountain House
resort in New Paltz, N.Y.
If you like the look but need
something a bit shorter, Fusaro
suggests the yellow shades of the
moly Jeannine or the avum alli-
ums.
Looking to plant allium in a
shady spot? Try the triquetrum,
also known as three-cornered
leeks, which bear delicate white
owers with shades of blue and a
triangular stem.
Want something unusual? The
drumstick allium produces egg-
size (and egg-shaped) heads in a
rich burgundy color, while the bul-
garicum blooms are creamy and
bell-shaped with tinges of green
and pink that hang from baseball-
size owerheads.
USES
Alliums are typically displayed
best among perennials as a border
plant, says Amy Dube, a bulb
expert with Dig.Drop.Done, a
North American educational cam-
paign promoting owering bulbs.
They hide their leaves, which
whither quickly, and dont take up
much space, giving room to quick-
ly emerging perennials.
But dont be afraid to use them
elsewhere.
Hans Langeveld, co-owner of
Longeld Gardens in Lakewood,
N.J., recommends using some of
the shorter, smaller varieties in
rock gardens, where they can
thrive in the well-drained pockets
between rocks.
Some alliums can do well in
containers, while the larger vari-
eties are perfect for cutting gar-
dens.
They are gorgeous just by
themselves, or paired with a large
monstera or philodendron leaf or
two in a simple glass, says New
York-based oral designer Rachel
Cho. They have really long
stems that are very sturdy, so I like
to keep them really tall.
Butler likes to dry allium heads
for centerpieces and even holiday
decorations, spraying them white
and adding sparkles to make deli-
cate winter snowballs.
PLANTING
Alliums grow best in full sun,
though some do well in part-sun or
shade, and they prefer well-drained
soil.
Plant them in the fall as you
would any other spring-blooming
bulb. Wait until the weather cools
to allow them several weeks to
develop a root system before the
ground freezes, Langeveld says.
The bulbs should be planted at
least 6 to 8 inches deep, even
deeper for the larger bulbs, which
can be the size of a tennis ball.
The general rule of thumb is to
plant bulbs three times the depth
of the bulb itself, and then you
just want to make sure that the
root is facing down toward the
soil, Dube says.
She recommends spacing the
smaller bulbs about 3 inches apart
and the larger ones up to 8 inches
apart.
Deer, squirrels and other garden
pests dont like the oniony taste
of allium bulbs and will generally
leave them alone.
For a different bulb, try planting alliums
Most alliums bloom in late spring or early summer,so they ll the gap between spring bulbs and summer perennials.

resources internally to try to help edu-
cate constitutes.
Cassman said the city is aware that it
cant use public funds to advocate for
ballot measures.
Government Code Section 8314,
prohibits elected state or local ofcers
from using or permitting others to use
public resources for campaign activi-
t y, according Richard Hertz, communi-
cations director for the California Fair
Political Practices Commission.
However, a public agency can use pub-
lic funds to provide educational infor-
mation to the public about a ballot
measure generally a fair represen-
tation of facts relevant to an election
matter.
Frequently, the line between unau-
thorized campaign expenditures and
authorized informational material is
unclear, Hertz said in an email. The
determination of the propriety of the
expenditure may turn upon such factors
as the style, tenor and timing of the
publication; no hard and fast rule gov-
erns every case.
Councilmembers were in favor of the
plan, citing that they lack city staff to
help with educational efforts.
Its important to educate citizens on
how the city has restructured its debt
and been extremely responsible in
how its proceeded, said Mayor Gina
Papan.
The city has cut wherever it can, but
you still have to pay for things, she
said. Were saving money now
because of an investment we made with
Siemens with solar roofs. The city has
a great future ahead, but we cant do it
alone. We need to keep the public
informed and transparent. The city is
working really hard to provide ef-
ciencies and keep up with rising costs
that impact our city.
Resources have been dwindling, said
City Manager Marcia Raines.
If we face an emergency, wouldnt
have the funds, Raines said. Astruc-
tural decit will continue to grow, with
staff reductions, consolidations and
combined code enforcement. We are
procient in sustainability programs,
but we are a 65-year-old city and have
facilities, roads, whats under the
roads, that are aging.
She added that the city still needs to
pay for employee benets and that the
citys streets are at the bottom of state
and countywide levels of sustainabili-
t y.
Routine neighborhood streets are
in disrepair, she said. Collectively,
weve got to come up with some solu-
tions. The council and public need to
make huge decisions about the future
of the city, looking at water and sewer
infrastructure needs and capital needs.
The re assessment is not the solu-
tion, but its step one.
Vice Mayor Wayne Lee said the
intention of hiring the rm is to gath-
er information.
This is the way that most munici-
palities do it, he said. Its common
practice and to not do so would not be
diligent on our part. Balancing budg-
ets doesnt mean anything if theres no
meat in the budget. The question is
how are we going to bring programs
and provide services? City staff has
taken major hits in the last years and
were looking at ways to do economic
development.
In other city business, the council
discussed the possibility of dissolving
the citys Millbrae Business Advisory
Committee due to lack of productivity
from the group, a number of coun-
cilmembers said.

from the citys expected $1.35 mil-
lion decit projected in the coming
years.
City staff and the council have spent
years trying to reduce a once $4.8 mil-
lion decit by eliminating 30 full-time
positions since 2010, establishing a
second tier of reduced benets for new
hires and sharing re personnel with
neighboring cities.
Two recent events, however, have
caused the decit to climb back up
the loss of the Foster Citys biggest
sales tax producer, Life Technologies,
and an increase in the contributions
the city has to make to fund retiree
pensions.
This is another example of the
cooperation between the city and busi-
ness. We discussed the need to increase
the license fee to todays costs and the
businesses agreed. There was a com-
promise so that the full implementa-
tion of the increase will be phased in
over a three-year period, Councilman
Steve Okamoto wrote the Daily
Journal in an email.
Licenses and fees have not been
updated since the city was incorporated
in 1971, said Mayor Pam Frisella.
The city will review all of its codes
over the next year or so for outdated
ones, Frisella said.
The city implemented its current
business license ordinance with a
gross receipts based tax structure.
Businesses are required to pay 75
cents per $1,000 (0.075 percent) of
gross receipts collected as a result of
conducting business in Foster City. A
minimum floor tax rate of $25 was
imposed with it being $50 for gener-
al contractors and a maximum ceiling
tax amount of $3,750 was estab-
lished by limiting the amount of
gross receipts, $5 million, used in
the calculation of the tax. Floor and
ceiling amounts were established
based on 1972 commerce trends.
The update would cap gross receipts
from the current $5 million to $30 mil-
lion by 2016 and the maximum ceiling
tax from the current $3,750 to
$22,500 by 2016.
The increase will not substantially
impact small businesses as the rate has
not changed, said Vice Mayor Charlie
Bronitsky.
What has changed is the cap and so
our larger businesses will bear a more
realistic proportion of the costs
incurred by the city for providing serv-
ices. I am unaware of any opposition
as this was put together in a coopera-
tive manner, Bronitsky wrote the
Daily Journal in an email.
No argument was submitted against
Measure U on the November ballot.
The tax is paid by all businesses that
operate in Foster City.

and plenty of perks.

your promises. You will not please everyone,
but you will turn heads and make a difference in
something you feel is worthwhile.
sagiTTariUs (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Try not to
attract too much attention today. You are better
served to make changes while no one is looking,
to avoid interference. Romance is mounting, and
special plans should be made.
CaPriCOrn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Stick to your
principles and refuse to be bullied. The choices
you make will change the way people view you and
contribute to what you are offered in the future.

approach to business, and network with people
who can contribute to your goals. Determination

best. Improved health and finances are apparent.

the key to getting what you want. Stand behind
your beliefs, and you will gather momentum and
followers. Dont argue when action, not just a show
of good faith, is required.

personal matters separate. Emotional deception

lot of attention if you share your more daring
thoughts and plans. Set a high standard and you
will maintain control. Greater popularity will lead to
more opportunities.

WASHINGTON The United States on
Wednesday cut hundreds of millions of dol-
lars in aid to its Mideast ally Egypt, respond-
ing to the military ouster last summer of the
nations rst democratically elected presi-
dent and the crackdown on protesters that
has sunk the country into violent turmoil.
While the State Department did not pro-
vide a dollar amount of what was being with-
held, most of it is linked to military aid. In
all, the U.S. provides $1.5 billion in aid
each year to Egypt.
Ofcials said the aid being withheld includ-
ed 10 Apache helicopters at a cost of more
than $500 million, M1A1 tank kits and
Harpoon anti-ship missiles. The U.S. also is
withholding $260 million in cash assistance
to the government until credible progress
is made toward an inclusive government set
up through free and fair elections. The U.S.
had already suspended the delivery of four F-
16 ghter jets and canceled biennial U.S.-
Egyptian military exercises.
In Cairo, military spokesman Col. Ahmed
Mohammed Ali declined immediate com-
ment. Before the announcement, Gen. Abdel-
Fattah el-Sissi, the Egyptian military leader,
described his countrys relations with the
United States as strategic and founded on
mutual interests. But he told the Cairo daily,
Al-Masry al-Youm, in an interview published
on Wednesday that Egypt would not tolerate
pressure, whether through actions or
hints.
Neighboring Israel also has indicated con-
cern. The Israelis consider the U.S. aid to
Egypt to be important support for the peace
agreement between Egypt and Israel.
The State Department stressed that the
long-standing U.S. partnership with Egypt
would continue and U.S. ofcials made it
clear that the decisions are not permanent,
adding that there is no intent by the Obama
administration to end any specic programs.
Still, the decision puts ties between the U.S.
and Egypt at their rockiest point in more
than three decades.
The United States continues to support a
democratic transition and oppose violence
as a means of resolving differences within
Egypt, State Department spokeswoman Jen
Psaki said. We will continue to review the
decisions regarding our assistance periodi-
cally and will continue to work with the
interim government to help it move toward
our shared goals in an atmosphere free of
violence and intimidation.
The U.S. will continue to provide support
for health and education and counterterror-
ism, spare military parts, military training
and education, border security and security
assistance in the Sinai Peninsula where near-
daily attacks against security forces and sol-
diers have increasingly resembled a full-
edged insurgency.
The U.S. ofcials providing the details did
so only on condition of anonymity because
they were not authorized to comment by
name.
Other details about what military assis-
tance is being cut were not immediately
known, and the State Department declined
to give an indication of how severe the
impact of the cuts in assistance might be in
Egypt.

TEHRAN, Iran Irans internal power
plays have produced many moments of
political theater, but never one like this:
The foreign minister checks himself into
a hospital because of stress, blaming it
on hard-line critics of the recent thaw
with Washington.
A cascade of events Wednesday sug-
gested there was no end in sight to the
ideological skirmishes following
President Hassan Rouhanis outreach to
the U.S.
Those overtures will be put to the test
next week in Geneva when nuclear talks
with world powers resume.
For Rouhani, the immediate prize would
be winning pledges from the West to roll
back painful sanctions in exchange for
concessions on Tehrans nuclear program.
But, on a deeper level, Rouhanis gambit
also exposes sudden insecurities among
the West-bashing factions that have
shaped Iranian affairs for decades.
If Rouhanis brand of diplomacy pays
off in the eyes of Irans top policymaker,
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,
it could bring sharper limits on the reach
of powerful factions led by the
Revolutionary Guard which has already
been warned by Khamenei to stay out of
politics and let Rouhanis overtures run
their course.
The Guard will remain a pillar of Irans
establishment no matter what happens
with Rouhanis efforts.
