DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Budget and service cuts, fare increases and
even increasing ridership will not be enough
to bridge the San Mateo County Transit
Districts ongoing structural decit so of-
cials with the agency are exploring whether it
should go straight to the voters to ask for
additional support.
If a ballot measure is judged necessary, dis-
trict staff is recommending a potential vote in
2014, the next general election, according to a
staff report.
What form the tax or fee will take or
whether it will be a three-county vote to sup-
port Caltrain has yet to be determined, since it
has no dedicated funding source.
The transit district is the administrative
body for SamTrans, Redi-Wheels and
Caltrain.
SamTrans has been suffering nancially in
recent years as less people take the bus. It has
been forced to reduce its contribution to
Caltrain by about $10 million annually to
keep bus service at optimal levels. It is in the
middle of developing a new service plan that
will see the elimination and consolidation of
many of its routes next year as ridership has
slipped from last year by about 3 percent.
The Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board
operates Caltrain, which is supported by con-
tributions from SamTrans, San Francisco
Municipal Transportation Agency and the
Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority.
With SamTrans reducing its contribution to
the commuter rail line, the other two agencies
followed suit, which caused a funding crisis at
Caltrain.

Downtown San Mateo
school looking to grow
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
After completing a successful four-week
pilot program in downtown San Mateo this
summer, Draper University of Heroes is
preparing to expand its offerings this
January with a full curriculum and up to
180 of what it calls the brightest young
entrepreneurial minds from throughout the
world.
The school, founded by venture capitalist Tim Draper, is
housed in the old Benjamin Franklin Hotel on Third Avenue
and will likely expand into the Collective Antiques building
across the street and the old Wachovia Bank building on
Fourth Avenue that shares an alley with the hotel.

The Dark Star Orchestra, a Grateful Dead tribute band, will be playing at the Fox Theatre in Redwood City Oct. 11.
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
The Grateful Deads profound meld-
ing of musical genres had an insur-
mountable inuence on music, art and
the concert scene. During a cultural rev-
olution when Americans were thriving
toward modern expressionism, the
Grateful Dead provided more than 2,300
live shows attracting millions of listeners
across the country.
The renowned band was best known
for its improvisational concerts, more
than its albums, said Dino English, 44,
drummer of the tribute band the Dark
Star Orchestra that will be playing at the
Fox Theatre in Redwood City Oct. 11.
After the death of Jerry Garcia in
1995, members of the Dark Star
Orchestra urged for the continuance of
the concert tour phenomenon. In 1997,
the Dark Star Orchestra began to tour
and picked up the fan base, playing more
than 2,100 shows across the world.
The Dark Star Orchestra performed in
Europe, Japan, Holland, Jamaica and in
nearly every state in the United States,
English said. However, California, and
specically the Bay Area, is a typical
tour locale. The Fillmore in San
Francisco has housed the Dark Star
Orchestra nearly 30 times, with the band
often playing up to three nights in a row.
Playing in Redwood City is infrequent
and Thursday night is a rare opportunity.
Over the years, various Grateful Dead
band members, lyricists and sound tech-
nicians collaborated with the Dark Star
Orchestra to conceive a band that exem-
plies the essence of the famous music
and the uplifting experience.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FRESNO Farmers in Californias agri-
cultural heartland say record-high gas and
diesel prices are putting pressure on their bot-
tom lines, but economists say its unlikely that
will translate into signicantly higher food
prices across the U.S.
Keith Nilmeier, a fourth-generation farmer
in Fresno County, has cut down on using his
farm equipment to compensate for climbing
fuel costs.
Among other changes, Nilmeier who
grows fruit on 300 acres near Sanger
makes only one pass, instead of three, through
the orchards and vineyards with his disking
machine linked to a furrower. And he keeps
farm supervisors driving smaller, fuel-ef-
cient cars around his elds.
Im trying to gure out how to get more
efcient about using the equipment and saving
more fuel, Nilmeier said. But were getting
down to the point where I keep looking at
what else can I cut out, and Im running out of
options.
When it comes to rising fuel costs, farmers
get hit with a double whammy: Theyre
spending more to refuel farm equipment such
as harvesters and tractors, and theyre having
to pay fuel surcharges to people mechanically
harvesting or transporting their produce. Yet
they are loath to impose surcharges on any-
one, because theyre afraid of being less com-
petitive when they sell their
products.
The Fresno County Farm
Bureau says farmers are hoping
that, as economists predicted,
gas prices will stabilize in the
coming days.
High gas, diesel prices hurt farm industry
Gas prices in the San Mateo jumped 52 cents
over the last month to an average of $4.76 a
gallon as motorists throughout the state con-
tended with skyrocketing costs at the pump,
according to AAA Northern California, which
provides the data as a consumer service.
Northern California gas prices are now aver-
aging $4.63, up 45 cents from last month. In the
San Francisco Bay Area, motorists can expect
to pay an average price of $4.74, which is a 49
cent increase. The national average price of
$3.82 is down two cents, which is 42 cents
more than the national price on this date last
year, when it was $3.40, according to AAA.
Prices are starting to stabilize after a week of
soaring attributed to major disruptions in the
supply chain like the Monday power outage at
the ExxonMobil renery in Torrance. Gov.
Jerry Brown over the weekend directed the
California Air Resources Board to allow the
sale of winter-grade fuel earlier than usual.
Both are cited as reasons the wholesale gaso-
line prices in California have already begun
falling and that retail prices should also follow
suit.
During the period of price spikes, every
metro area in Northern California saw an
increase of at least 38 cents over the past
month, according to AAA Northern California.
The least expensive average price in Northern
California is in Sacramento at $4.53 per gallon
and the highest average is in Eureka at $4.80.
San Mateo gas prices up 52 cents this month

Obituary
A man accused of brutally assaulting and
raping a woman in an abandoned South San
Francisco home before she escaped with the
help of his cousin will stand trial in a month
on multiple felonies that could send him to
prison for life.
Sergio Cortez, 29, has pleaded not guilty
to charges of kidnapping for the purposes of
rape, forcible copulation and forcible rape.
On Tuesday, Cortez confirmed his jury trial
Nov. 5.
He faces 25 years to life in prison if con-
victed of the kidnapping charge in the Sept.
8, 2011 attack on a woman who allegedly
met him and agreed to
have sex.
Prosecutors say Cortez
drove the woman to an
alley where he punched
her in the face and forced
oral copulation before
taking her at knifepoint
to an abandoned home in
the 600 block of Third
Lane in South San
Francisco.
Cortez allegedly broke into the home,
forced the woman into a water heater closet
where he urinated on her and called his male
cousin to come over.
The cousin allegedly smoked metham-
phetamine with Cortez and left at which
point authorities say the woman had her
faced smashed against the bathroom wall
and toilet tank before again being sexually
assaulted.
The cousin returned with clothing and the
men drove the woman to his house where
she was told to shower. After Cortez left, the
cousins brother called South San Francisco
police who arrived and located the suspect
shortly after.
At the time of his arrest, Cortez was on
misdemeanor court probation for a petty
theft conviction.
He remains held without bail.
Violent rape suspect to trial
Sergio Cortez
A 27-year-old woman who prosecutors
say led two San Francisco teens on a spree
of residential burglaries on the Peninsula
will stand trial on eight felonies, a judge
ruled Tuesday after a preliminary hearing.
Nyzeina Shameka Eberhart has pleaded
not guilty to seven counts of residential bur-
glary and one count of attempted burglary
but was held to answer on all charges. She
will enter a Superior Court plea and possi-
bly set a trial date Oct. 24.
Eberhart and two teenage boys, ages 15
and 16, are accused in a spate of residential
burglaries between Sept.
18 and 20 one in
Belmont, two in San
Mateo and three in unin-
corporated San Mateo.
The first day, a neighbor
of a San Mateo burglary
victim saw a vehicle in
front of the home carry-
ing three people later
identified as Eberhart and
the boys in a photo line-
up.
The neighbor wrote down the license
plate and it was later shown to have been
rented to Eberhart.
On Sept. 20, Belmont police spotted the
car in the lookout bulletin and reported find-
ing the defendants inside along with proper-
ty from burglaries in San Mateo County and
another in Pleasant Hill. A crowbar was also
inside and a search of her residence turned
up other stolen property, according to the
District Attorneys Office.
The two juveniles were booked into the
Youth Services Center. Details on their case
remain confidential because they are
minors.
Eberhart remains in custody in lieu of
$175,000.

NEW YORK The owner of Olive
Garden and Red Lobster restaurants is
putting more workers on part-time status
in a test aimed at limiting costs from
President Barack Obamas health care
law.
Darden Restaurants Inc. declined to
give details but said the test is only in
four markets across the country. The
move entails boosting the number of
workers on part-time status, meaning
they work less than 30 hours a week.
Under the new health care law, com-
panies with 50 or more workers could be
hit with nes if they do not provide basic
coverage for full-time workers and their
dependents. Starting Jan. 1, 2014, those
penalties and requirements could signif-
icantly boost labor costs for some com-
panies, particularly in low-wage indus-
tries such as retail and hospitality, where
most jobs dont come with health bene-
ts.
Darden, which operates more than
2,000 restaurants in the U.S. and
Canada, employs about 180,000 people.
The company says about 75 percent of
its employees are currently part-timers.
Bob McAdam, who heads government
affairs and community relations for
Darden, said the company is still learn-
ing from the tests, which was first
reported by the Orlando Sentinel.
Were not at a point where we have
results, he said. McAdam also noted
that Darden is not alone in looking at
ways to keep labor costs in check, with
companies across the industry prepping
for the new regulations to take effect.
In fact, Paul Keckley, executive direc-
tor of the Deloitte Center for Health
Statistics, noted that follow-up legisla-
tion might be needed to ensure that com-
panies do not shift more workers to part-
time status to avoid providing coverage.
Theres not a company in those
industries that arent looking at this,
Keckley said.
This summer, for example,
McDonalds Corp. Chief Financial
Ofcer Peter Bensen noted in a confer-
ence call with investors that the ham-
burger chain was looking at the many
factors that will impact health care costs,
including its number of full-time
employees.
Nationally, 60 percent of companies
offer health benets, but the gure varies
depending on the size of the company.
Nearly all companies with 200 or more
workers offer benets, compared with
48 percent for companies with 3-9 work-
ers, according to the Kaiser Family
Foundation.
Even beyond health care costs, howev-
er, Darden has made cutting labor costs
a priority in recent years as sales growth
has stalled at its agship chains. In the
most recent scal quarter, the companys
restaurant labor costs were 31 percent of
sales. Thats down from 33 percent three
years ago.
The reduction was driven by several
factors. Given the challenging job market,
Darden has been able to offer lower pay
rates to new hires, as well as cut bonuses
for general managers as sales have stag-
nated. Servers at Red Lobster now han-
dle four tables at a time, instead of three.
And last year, the company also put
workers on a tip sharing program,
meaning waiters and waitresses share
their tips with other employees such as
busboys and bartenders. That allows
Darden to pay more workers a far lower
tip credit wage of $2.13, rather than
the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an
hour.
Health changes spur test
of more part-time workers
Nationally, 60 percent of companies offer health
benets, but the gure varies depending on the size of the
company. Nearly all companies with 200 or more workers
offer benets, compared with 48 percent for companies with
3-9 workers, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.
California squirrel tests
positive for plague exposure
RIVERSIDE Authorities say a squirrel at a Southern
California campground has tested positive for exposure to eas
infected with the bacteria that can cause plague.
Riverside County ofcials said Tuesday the discovery at the
Fern Basin campground north of Idyllwild marks the rst time
in nearly a decade that a ground squirrel found in the San
Jacinto Mountains has tested positive.
Ofcials says the risk of transmitting the bacteria to humans
is minimal if people take proper precautions.
They recommend people avoid contact with squirrels and
other wild animals and not camp near animal burrows.
People who become ill with such symptoms as fever, chills
and tender swollen lymph nodes should see a doctor immedi-
ately.

CITY GOVERNMENT
The San Carlos City Council
voted 4-1, with Mayor Matt Grocott
dissenting, to certify the nal environ-
mental impact report for the Wheeler
Plaza project. With the redevelop-
ment agency dissolved, the project
has no timeline or certainty but city
ofcials wanted the documents in place for if or when the
developer is ready to proceed.
The plan concerns the parking lot behind Laurel Street and
San Carlos Avenue, fronting Walnut Street and several city-
owned buildings along San Carlos Avenue and Laurel Street.
The project is split into three components: the Wheeler Plaza
mixed-use plan to replace the parking lot and retail with
9,855 square feet of commercial space and 108 residential
units above a three-level parking garage; the Laurel Street
commercial and plaza component which includes the public
space and a two-story 4,500-square-foot building for restau-
rant and ofce space; and the Cherry Street affordable hous-
ing component which would include a 31-unit building.
Suspect arrested in senior living home burglary
An 18-year-old food service worker was arrested at the
Woodside Terrace Senior Living complex in Redwood City
on suspicion of theft of jewelry from a resident. He was also
connected to ve prior thefts at the complex, according to
police.
At approximately 5 p.m. Oct. 8, staff informed police that an
employee was witnessed leaving an elderly residents apart-
ment and discard some jewelry and that he should not have
been inside the apartment, according to police.
Ofcers quickly determined that Luis Cebrero, of unincor-
porated San Mateo County had stolen jewelry and searched his
residence and found property taken in other thefts, according
to police.
He was booked into San Mateo County Jail for burglary and
elder abuse because of the age of the victims, according to
police.
Local brief
By Garance Burke
SAN FRANCISCO From Florida
to Virginia, Massachusetts to California,
candidates and political parties seeking
to squeeze every vote from a divided
electorate are targeting Americas
newest citizens. Its a relatively small
bloc but one that can be substantial
enough to make a difference in razor-
close presidential swing states and com-
petitive congressional races.
In Florida, which President Barack
Obama won by less than 5 percentage
points four years ago, a new analysis of
U.S. Census data shows people who nat-
uralized as Americans since 2000 make
up 6 percent of the population of voting-
age citizens. For months, the Obama
campaign has been sending volunteers to
citizenship ceremonies to register people
and canvassing Miami-area neighbor-
hoods where immigrant families live.
In California, where new citizens
comprise nearly 9 percent of potential
voters, Republicans hope House candi-
dates Ricky Gill and Abel Maldonado
can reach that group by highlighting
their families journeys from India and
Mexico, respectively, in search of the
American Dream.
Georgina Castaneda, a home-care
worker who grew up in Veracruz,
Mexico, and now lives in Los Angeles, is
the type of person the campaigns are tar-
geting. After years of waiting for her cit-
izenship application to go through the
bureaucracy, she passed the U.S. civics
test and swore her allegiance to the ag
along with thousands of others at a cere-
mony in March at Los Angeles Staples
Center.
Castaneda said Democratic Party
workers walked down the aisles handing
out brochures to the crowd. She lled
one out while still seated.
My idea was that one more vote
could do something, so I registered at
the ceremony, she said.
Political parties have tried to engage
new arrivals since at least the 1790s,
when New York Citys fabled Tammany
Hall political machine organized immi-
grants, especially the Irish. In this nal
stretch of contemporary campaigns, the
inuence of new voters is magnied in
several battleground states, where small
shifts can produce large impacts on the
electoral vote count.
The trick with politics is to get to
people early, so what you want to do is
make sure that your party gets in on the
ground oor of any new citizens think-
ing, said Stephen Farnsworth, a profes-
sor of political science at the University
of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg,
Va. So instead of meeting people at the
docks like the political machines of a
century ago, political parties and cam-
paigns are meeting potential voters right
after they take the oath.

By Kasie Hunt and Ben Feller
COLUMBUS, Ohio Its still all about
Ohio.
After a strong debate performance,
Republican challenger Mitt Romney is intensi-
fying his efforts in the state thats critical to his
White House hopes, while President Barack
Obama works to hang on to the polling edge
hes had here for weeks.
Both candidates campaigned hard in the state
Tuesday, the last day of voter registration ahead
of Election Day, now just four weeks away.
Its time for him to leave the White House,
Romney said of Obama at an evening rally in
Cuyahoga Falls. Ohios going to elect me the
next president of the United States.
Obama, in Columbus, called out, All right,
Buckeyes, we need you. His campaign had
buses nearby, ready to ferry students or other
supporters to registration centers.
As Obama wooed Ohio State University stu-
dents here and Romney focused on the
Democratic bastion of Cuyahoga County to the
north, there were signs the presidents Ohio
advantage was narrowing. A new CNN poll
showed Obama leading Romney 51 percent to
47 percent among likely Ohio voters. And
Republican strategists familiar with Romneys
internal polling contended the race was even
closer within a single percentage point as
the candidate enjoyed a post-debate surge of
support.
I promise you hes back in the game in
Ohio, said Charlie Black, an informal Romney
campaign adviser.
Like other Republicans, he credits Romneys
strong debate appearance last week as the rea-
son for an uptick in nation-
al polling. And Romney
advisers maintain theyre
seeing evidence of that in
the battleground states
most likely to decide the
election, Ohio among
them.
There isnt any question
that he has breathed new
life and new energy into
the Republican Party, Ohio Gov. John Kasich
said Tuesday on a conference call with
reporters. Were seeing that there is greater
intensity among Republicans and a great will-
ingness to get out and vote and participate than
were seeing with Democrats.
With a hefty 18 electoral votes, Ohio is such
a key state for Romney that one top adviser has
dubbed it the ball game as the Republican
looks to string together enough state victories to
amass the 270 Electoral College votes needed
to take the White House. No Republican has
won the presidency without this Midwestern
state, and if Romney were to lose here, he
would have to carry every other battleground
state except tiny New Hampshire.
Romney has far fewer state-by-state paths to
the White House than Obama, who still has sev-
eral routes to victory should he lose here.
Given the stakes and with just 28 days left in
the campaign, Romneys schedule highlights
his increased focus on the state: Hes spending
four of the next ve days in Ohio, ahead of the
second presidential debate in New York next
Tuesday. Running mate Paul Ryan squares off
against Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday
for the sole debate featuring the No. 2s on the
tickets.
Presidential race still all about Ohio
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
WASHINGTON Mitt Romneys plan to
help people with pre-existing medical condi-
tions: Hang on to your health insurance if
you want to be protected.
The GOP presidential candidate wants to
help those who maintain continuous cover-
age, a fraction of a much bigger group of
people at risk of getting turned down because
of medical problems.
Heres the catch: If you had a signicant
break in coverage, an insurer still could delve
into your health care record, looking for any-
thing from a bad back to high blood pres-
sure that foreshadows future claims.
Theyd be able to turn you down.
Thats a contrast to President Barack
Obamas health care law, which guarantees
that people in poor health can get compre-
hensive coverage at the same rates everybody
else pays, and provides government subsidies
to help low- to middle-income households
pay premiums.

OPINION 9
California schools
Editor,
Gov. Jerry Brown has stated that if
we do not pass his tax bills for schools
he is going to cut, cut, cut. Bull.
If my memory serves me correctly,
schools have the rst demand on the
treasury of California. However, even if
I am incorrect, to give the wasteful
politicians more money, will, I assure
you, only allow the politicians a way to
spend the money on other things which
will not benet students. This is based
on my years in education where I
observed money being wasted and
spent foolishly on a continual basis.
We need to restructure how our
schools are administered and nanced
so as not to continue to run the schools
as they did in 1920. Hawaii has only
one school district for the state. The
same goes for every province in
Canada. The class size in Canada is
about 20 per class for all grades, or so I
have been told. The same should be
true for California to better serve the
students.
No matter what politicians promise,
they will always have a greater need
and will ignore schools and their stu-
dents. For example, just look at our
roads. We pay very high taxes for good
roads but are those road taxes spent on
roads? School districts should not be
individual entities. They should be
structured like the California Highway
Patrol so we can get the most from the
educational dollar and use our teachers
more efciently and have a longer
school day and year.

Letter to the editor
W
hen it comes to Measure B,
the charter amendment that
would shift the way mem-
bers of the San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors are elected from county-
wide to district elections, nearly every-
one states that the county is well-gov-
erned.
Whether that is because of the way
the board is currently elected or rather
the countys overall management is not
entirely clear. However, one thing is
clear, there have been entirely too many
uncontested elections. In recent years,
that may not seem to be the case
because the elections won by District
One Supervisor Dave Pine and District
Three Supervisor Don Horsley were
contested and active. The current race
to ll Rose Jacobs Gibsons District
Four seat is also contested and active.
However, when it comes to an incum-
bent running, there is usually little to
no opposition. We do not infer the
incumbents are doing a bad job, it sim-
ply means the current system does not
allow for competition. With that com-
petition comes discussion and an
opportunity for voters to see if they like
the direction of the county and the cur-
rent supervisor, or if there needs to be a
change.
A common complaint about the cur-
rent system is that it takes significant
effort, time and money to campaign
across the entire county. While there
is no guarantee, narrowing such cam-
paigns to one of the five current dis-
tricts might allow for candidates with
less county name recognition and
money to mount a robust campaign in
an area where they might be more
known and active. If a supervisor is in
touch with his or her district, then
that incumbent should do just fine in
a competitive race. And competition
is good for everybody. It is good for
the incumbent, it is good for the com-
munity. It would allow for additional
dialogue about issues both specific
and general and alleviate the financial
burden of campaigning across a coun-
ty that is the approximate size of a
congressional district.
A common refrain from those in sup-
port of the current system is that it
might change the way a supervisor gov-
erns and narrow the focus to a particu-
lar geographical area. We dont see that
as becoming an issue. The county gov-
ernment has a tremendous amount of
areas that overlap whether it be public
safety, housing efforts or health care.
No smart candidate or supervisor would
ever allow their view to ignore such
important matters and, if they did, it is
doubtful they would be elected. On a
parallel but signicantly larger level,
members of Congress are elected by a
district, listen to and weigh the con-
cerns of that district and contemplate
and vote on matters that hold the
greater good in mind. Who is to say
that our local ofcials cannot keep that
same principle in mind?
Besides, supervisors already have an
allegiance to their particular district
since that is where they live and where
they received their political beginnings.
And all are known for putting that aside
when contending with countywide
issues. There should be little change in
the governance of the county because
of this change, after all, what politician
would purposefully limit their scope
and inuence? The true change will
arrive when the current supervisors who
are not termed out run for re-election
and there is an ability to increase
accountability through competitive
elections and the important dialogue
that will result from it.
Shifting from at-large to district elec-
tions would eliminate the opportunity
for voters in one district to vote for a
district in another district, and that is
regrettable. However, changing the
county charter to district elections
would alleviate the need for the reliance
on well-monied countywide campaigns
and create more opportunity for up-
and-coming candidates from diverse
political, nancial and ethnic back-
grounds. It would also keep incumbents
connected to their district and aware of
its ever-changing issues. And arent
those worthwhile goals?
Yes on Measure B
Propositions?
W
ith little or no regulatory restraints, labeling
requirements or scientic protocol, bioengi-
neers have begun creating hundred of new
[genetically engineered] frankenfoods and crops. The
research is done with little
concern for the human and
environmental hazards and the
negative socioeconomic
impacts on the worlds several
billion farmers and rural vil-
lagers. Ronnie Cummins,
Organic Consumers
Association, Food, Inc.
As one letter writer to the
San Mateo County Times
wrote, in encouraging us to
vote for Proposition 37: This
non-partisan measure con-
cerns the safety of the very
food that gives us sustenance.
... Its a matter of our right to
live healthy lives. Monsanto and related industries are desper-
ately trying to convince us to vote otherwise, shoveling huge
amounts of money into their efforts. They will tell us that
genetically modied foods pose no threat to the health of con-
sumers, but the truth is, no one knows.
While none of the processed food we ate 20 years ago con-
tained genetically engineered ingredients, now 75 percent of it
does. ... Consumers have now become involuntary guinea pigs
in a vast genetic experiment. Gary Hirshberg and Eric
Schlosser, Food, Inc.
According to an Aug. 22 article in the San Francisco
Chronicle, These modied plant and animal products have
been altered in a lab to combine DNA from one species with
another to create combinations that dont occur in nature. An
example is Monsantos genetically modied sweet corn, which
has been engineered to contain an insecticide, BT toxin, within
the corn itself.
In its zeal to monopolize various facets of the food industry,
Monsanto has been agrantly manipulating the Food and Drug
Administration. It has been carrying on its experiments with
genetically engineered crops and is increasingly taking control
of corn, soy and other seed distribution until farmers are forced
to use Monsanto seeds whether they want to or not. Yet the
FDA hasnt seen the need to regulate their activities or study
possible side effects of such food nagling. And dont forget,
the immediate and long-term effects of eating such products or
the environmental impact are completely unknown in spite of
what Monsanto may claim. And no doubt they are relying on
the fact that it will be very difcult to nd out.
As discussed on a Bill Moyers program recently, whether its
the labeling of genetically modied foods or the control of
seeds, our government is being controlled by policies set by
Monsanto so people cannot choose. Consumers in 50 other
countries including all of Europe, Japan, China and Russia,
are able to nd this information on food labels. So why cant
we?
Now that you have decided to vote yes on Proposition 37,
consider another food issue in the news lately. BPA is rearing
its ugly head again. The latest reports tell us, for one, that high-
er concentrations of urinary BPA have been linked to obesity in
adolescents and children. Trials have revealed that BPA inter-
feres with the workings of metabolisms in humans, therefore
possibly increasing body mass. Journal of American
Medical Association. This synthetic chemical, which was nal-
ly banned by the FDA from being used in childrens bottles
and sippy cups, is still found as a coating inside of aluminum
cans and food packaging, including plastic water bottles.
Even though, according to many experts, exposure to BPA
has been linked in the past to breast cancer, prostate cancer,
infertility, neurological conditions and cardiovascular disease,
the FDA claims it needs more time to study the problem. Then
there are newer studies, as reported in the Oct. 4 San Francisco
Chronicle, that BPA seems to alter thyroid hormones that are
essential for healthy growth, and the change is evident in preg-
nant women and newborn boys.
Its absolutely outrageous how the FDA allows synthetic
chemicals to become ingredients in so many products without
having been proven to be safe. Apparently, the attitude is:
Well, well take the word of those who have vested interests
in his stuff. Then after many years of kowtowing to the indus-
try, when they realize that people are suffering because of a
products toxic reactions, they may consider banning it.
Food is big, but so are the companies making and selling it.
Massive agribusiness companies control a surprising amount of
the food chain, raising grave concerns with issues such as
dwindling genetic diversity in plants and farm animals, resist-
ant strains of bacteria resulting from the overuse of antibiotics,
and undue inuence on the nations nutrition and agriculture
policy. Kelly Brownell, Food Fight.
Wouldnt you think that the FDA would ban the use of BPA
until the industry could rst prove that it is safe? Wouldnt it be
great if we were able to vote on a proposition that would pre-
vent BPA from being in contact with any food or drink?
Somehow the insight of Edmund Burke comes to mind: All
thats necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do noth-
ing.

S&P 500 1,441.48 -0.99% Gold 1,765.50
NEW YORK Stocks slumped
Tuesday on Wall Street after the
International Monetary Fund predicted
weaker world economic growth and as
investors waited for what they expected to
be lower corporate earnings.
The Dow Jones industrial average
declined 110.12 points, or 0.8 percent, to
13,473.53. The Standard & Poors 500
index dropped 14.40 points, a hair under 1
percent, to 1,441.48.
The Nasdaq composite index lost 47.33
points, or 1.5 percent, to 3,065.02.
The slide came on the ve-year anniver-
sary of record high closes for the Dow and
S&P 500. The Dow is about 700 points off
its all-time high, 14,164.53. It would take
a 5 percent rally from here to reach the
record.
Investors were discouraged by an
International Monetary Fund report
released overnight that said the global
economy was weakening and the down-
turn aficting developing nations has
begun to spread.
The weak forecast came one day after
the World Bank cut its estimate for growth
in China, the worlds second-largest econ-
omy, and for developing countries across
Asia.
The IMF forecasts that the world econ-
omy will expand 3.3 percent this year,
down from the estimate of 3.5 percent
growth it issued in July. Its forecast for
growth in 2013 is 3.6 percent, down from
4.1 percent in April.
After the market closed, Alcoa, the alu-
minum company, said it earned 3 cents per
share in the most recent quarter after
accounting for special charges. Wall Street
was expecting break-even.
Alcoa stock ended the regular trading
day up a penny at $9.13 and gained an
additional 7 cents in the rst half-hour
after the earnings report. Alcoa is the rst
of the 30 stocks in the Dow to report earn-
ings.
Overall, analysts expect earnings at
S&P 500 companies to be down com-
pared with last year, the rst decline in
almost three years.
Talley Leger, investment strategist at
Macro Vision Research, noted that the
IMF report came while Greek protests
erupted again in Athens over budget-cut-
ting measures and after a downgrade of
Cyprus credit rating on Monday.
Its all negative headlines today, Leger
said. Theres a lot of European fears.
Leger added he wouldnt be selling
stocks given that Federal Reserve and
other central banks are trying to stimulate
economies around the world.

NEW YORK The federal govern-
ment has sued Wells Fargo in a New
York court, accusing the nations largest
mortgage lender of misrepresenting the
quality of thousands of loans in order to
be eligible for federal loan insurance.
The lawsuit, led Tuesday in federal
court in Manhattan, seeks to recover
hundreds of millions of dollars that the
Federal Housing Administration paid
out after borrowers defaulted on Wells
Fargo mortgage loans.
The bank had applied for FHA insur-
ance for the loans, meaning that if the
loans went bad, the bank could ask the
government to pay for costs associated
with the defaulted mortgages. The law-
suit charges that Wells Fargo falsely cer-
tied that some loans were eligible for
government insurance when they actual-
ly werent.
Specically, the lawsuit alleges that
between May 2001 and October 2005,
Wells Fargo & Co. certied that over
100,000 mortgage loans were eligible
for the insurance. But a very substantial
percentage of those loans nearly half
in certainly months were not eligible,
according to the lawsuit.
Wells Fargo denied the allegations and
promised a vigorous defense in a state-
ment Tuesday. Many of the issues raised
by the lawsuit, it said, have already been
addressed with the Department of
Housing and Urban Development. The
bank also pointed out that it has already
disclosed the issues in its latest quarterly
report.
Wells Fargo is proud of its long
involvement in the FHA program, which
has helped so many people obtain

CINCINNATI Hardly able to get a hit, the San Francisco Giants used a
misplayed grounder to prolong their NL playoff series.
Third baseman Scott Rolens two-out error in the 10th inning gave the
Giants the go-ahead run Tuesday night in a 2-1 victory over the Cincinnati
Reds, who couldnt shake 17 years of home postseason futility.
The Giants avoided a sweep in Game 3, cutting their division series decit
to 2-1.
Rolen, an eight-time Gold Glove winner, couldnt come up with Joaquin
Arias short-hop grounder, bobbled it and threw late to rst.
Ive gone through the play many times in my mind between then and now,
and I think I would play it the same way, Rolen said. It hit my glove. I just
couldnt get it to stick.

Cougars in drivers seat
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Heading into the nal three weeks of the
regular season, the Half Moon Bay girls ten-
nis team was in prime position to capture the
Peninsula Athletic League Ocean Division
title. The Cougars headed into Tuesdays
match with a perfect 9-0 record.
The Cougars had one last major obstacle
standing between them and the championship
second-place Sequoia, which hosted Half
Moon Bay yesterday. Sequoia, which had lost
to Half Moon Bay and South City this season,
needed a win and then some help down the
stretch if the Cherokees wanted to have a shot
at catching the Cougars.
Half Moon Bay was having no part of that,
however, as the Cougars won 5-2.
I knew we had a deep team. No one was
exceptionally good, but everyone had
strokes, said Half Moon Bay coach Carole
Donahue. theyre really dedicated girls.
Really sweet. Its been an absolute joy to
coach them. They want to be out here and they
all want to win.
Making the Cougars accomplishments
even more impressive is the fact that four
freshmen have played key roles in the teams
ascension to the top of the Ocean Division
standings.
We have a lot of good (tennis) coaches on
the coast, Donahue said. A lot of good pro-
grams to get (kids) started (playing tennis).
That was put into even clearer focus

How good is the Menlo-Atherton girls vol-
leyball team? Despite being beset by injuries
to key players, the Bears still managed to sit
atop the Peninsula Athletic League Bay
Division standings with an unblemished
record.
The Bears stayed that way at the halfway
point of the season after coming from behind
to beat Carlmont 24-26, 25-20, 26-28, 26-24,
15-13.
Disappointed as heck with the result, said
Carlmont coach Chris Crader, whose team fell
two games behind M-A in the standings. But
this was the eighth or ninth time weve played
our best match of the year. I thought our effort
was fantastic.
M-A (7-0 PAL Bay), which has been with-
out reigning Daily Journal Volleyball Player of
the Year Ali Spindt most of the season due to
injury, has mixed and matched its lineup, and
every time its come up aces for coach Ron
Whitmill. Hes had to start four sophomores
but the Bears, the defending Bay Division
champs, have not missed a beat this season.
Players have been in and out of the lineup,
Whitmill said. Its been a lot of adjustments
the kids have had to make.
Katelyn Doherty has picked up a lot of the
slack with Spindt out, especially Tuesday.
Listed on the roster as outside hitter, Doherty
not only led the Bears in kills against Carlmont
with 17, she also tied for team-high honors in
assists with 27.

SANTA CLARA Kyle Williams circled
this weeks game against the New York Giants
as soon as the NFL schedule was released in
April.
He and his San Francisco 49ers teammates
have some unnished business against the
Super Bowl champions.
Williams two
turnovers on punt returns
played a key role in help-
ing the Giants win last
seasons NFC champi-
onship game 20-17 in
overtime, costing San
Francisco a trip to the
Super Bowl.
Theres a few teams
that I look forward to. Of
course after what happened last year I de-
nitely want to get back at these guys,
Williams said Tuesday. We look at it as if
they have something that we should have had.
Were going to make sure we dont leave any-
thing on the eld again.
Williams and the Niners (4-1) get their
chance against the Giants (3-2) on Sunday in
a rematch that has far less at stake than that
meeting last January.
Williams played a central role in that game
as a ll-in punt returner for the injured Ted
Ginn Jr. Early in the fourth quarter, Steve
Weatherford hit a short, bouncing punt that
Williams came up to try to eld. He backed
away at the last minute, but the ball glanced
off his right knee and was recovered by Devin
Thomas at the San Francisco 29. That set up
New Yorks go-ahead score.
Williams helped atone for his miscue when
he returned the ensuing kickoff 40 yards to
help set up David Akers tying eld goal late
in regulation.
But on his second return in overtime,
Williams gave the ball away again. He elded
the punt at the 19 and was stripped by
Jacquian Williams. Thomas once again
pounced on the ball at the 24, setting up the
Giants winning kick.
Kyle Williams said he wont approach the
rematch any different, despite what happened
less than nine months ago.
Im comfortable in the way I approach
every single game, Williams said. Ill be
comfortable this week going into it. I cant
wait. Im not trying to do too much. We dont
need anyone to do too much on this team.
Everybody plays their role and does what they
have to do. Well be ne. Were a great team.
After the NFC title game, Jacquian
Williams and Thomas indicated they were try-
ing to hit Williams given his history of con-
cussions, including the most recent one sus-
tained the month before the NFC title game
that sidelined him for one game.
Later in the offseason, a recording of former
New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator
Gregg Williams emerged from before the rst
playoff game that purports to capture him
telling players to put a lick on Kyle
Williams to see if he had lingering effects
from a concussion.
Ive never been targeted for something like
that before, Williams said. I guess its dif-
ferent in a sense. Its not something that I
think was a major focal point for them to make
sure they knocked me out of the game. It
sounds stupid when you look back it. Were
playing football. Everybody is going to try to
get to the ball. Everybody is going to try to
make a play on the ball. Thats football. I
dont pay too much attention to anything like
that.
Williams appreciated the support his team-
mates and coaches showed after the loss in
January and has paid them back with his per-
formance so far this season. He has returned
four punts and six kickoffs so far this season
without a fumble.
He has also caught four passes for 66 yards,
including a 43-yard touchdown last week
against the Buffalo Bills. The 49ers offense
has looked vastly superior so far to the one
that lost to New York last January.
The Niners wide receivers combined for just
one catch that game. The wideouts, with a
boost from offseason additions Mario
Manningham and Randy Moss, are averaging
nearly 12 catches combined a game this sea-
son.
We had a whole offseason to work togeth-
er, Williams said. I think were more pol-
ished than anything. We have more weapons.
We added a few guys and they have helped us
tremendously this year.
NOTES: The 49ers added LB Clark
Haggans to the active roster. He was suspend-
ed the past three games for violating the
leagues substance abuse policy. ... San
Francisco waived LB Eric Bakhtiari to make
room on the 53-man roster.

The seven Hall of Fame plaques that line
the Caada College gymnasium wall will get
some company really soon.
Caada announced Tuesday its latest Hall
of Fame class of eight, including current ath-
letic director Mike Garcia, and former Colts
and Major League Baseball second baseman
Harold Reynolds, who will receive the inau-
gural lifetime achievement award.
No question. It was extremely hard,
Garcia said about choosing the 2013 class. I
think youre always going to nd that, no mat-
ter what youre doing, when youre picking a
Hall of Fame class. It really doesnt matter
how strong your departments tradition or his-
tory is, there will always be people who feel
certain people should be in by now. It just
goes with the territory.
The athletic department will induct the
eight new members during a ceremony on
June 1, 2013.
Reynolds was a second baseman for the
Colts in 1980. He played for Caada after a
short stint at San Diego State. According to
Garcia, Caada is where Reynolds learned to
play second base after spending the early
parts of his career as an outelder. Reynolds
was a rst round draft pick by the Seattle
Mariners in 1980 and went on to play 12 years
at the Major League level including two as
an All-Star. He was a three-time Gold Glove
winner and led the American League in stolen
bases in 1987. Currently, Reynolds is an ana-
lyst for the MLB Network.
Garcia is a former head baseball coach at
Caada from 1984 to 2002. He also played
basketball and baseball at Caada. Garcia was
an All-Conference and All-State basketball
player in 1976 and an All-American in base-
ball during the 1977 season. As a coach,
Garcia compiled a record of 451-220 with six
Coast Conference championships, 14 straight
state playoff appearances and a Final Four
berth in 1998. Garcia was inducted into the
San Mateo County Sports Hall of Fame and
the California Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame
in 2003.
Joining Garcia and Reynolds is local JC
basketball legend Mike Legarza, the former
Caada athletic director who was honored in
2011 with an induction into the California
Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame.
Coach Legarza is an absolute legend in
California JC basketball one of the best
ever, Garcia said. So we felt very strongly
that he warrants induction at this point
because of what he did here.
From 1989 to 2000, the Colt basketball pro-
gram compiled a record of 259-59 under
Legarzas leadership, winning multiple con-
ference championships and making one Final
Four appearance.
Recognized as one of the top youth sports
experts in the country, Legarza is the founder,
president and CEO of Legarza Basketball and
Volleyball camps.
Keith Comstock, a former San Carlos High
School product is a 2013 inductee. Comstock
played six years in the big league, playing
with the Minnesota Twins, Seattle Mariners,
San Diego Padres and the San Francisco
Giants.
In 1976, Keith struck out 22 batters in a
game against Marin College while pitching
for the Colts. He was a fth-round draft pick
of the California Angels in 1976. Cornstock is
a member of the San Mateo County Sports
Hall of Fame and is currently the Texas
Rangers pitching rehab coordinator.
Jerry Drever is a former head basketball
coach from 1969 to 1976. He then started the
mens golf program and won a state champi-
onship in 1988.
Javier Sanchez is a former state medalist in
golf and was a part of that 1988 championship
team. He shot a 71. Sanchez founded the PGA
Tour qualifying school and is currently a
member of the Champions Tour.
Gordon Gray is a former division dean and
Caada athletic director in addition to the
head womens softball coach and an assistant

MIAMI Landon Donovan will not play
for the U.S. national team in a pair of upcom-
ing World Cup qualifying matches because of
an injured left knee, adding to what will be a
pressure-lled few days for the Americans.
U.S. Soccer said Tuesday that Donovan
who has more goals, assists and starts than
any player in program history will likely
not be replaced on what was a 24-man roster
for the upcoming qualiers, rst on Friday on
the road against Antigua and Barbuda, then in
Kansas City on Oct. 16 against Guatemala.
Donovan was injured
while playing Saturday for
the Los Angeles Galaxy.
He was selected by U.S.
coach Jurgen Klinsmann
for these qualifiers any-
way, and the teams athlet-
ic trainers wanted him to
be evaluated one more
time before he started
training.
Donovan had scrapped
plans for an MRI in Los
Angeles on Monday because he thought his
knee had improved.
Landon was very optimistic over the
weekend when his knee was feeling much
better, but now he needs time to recover,
Klinsmann said.
Both the national team and the Galaxy said
Donovan was returning to Los Angeles for
further evaluation.
That was not the outcome anyone expected.
Hours before the Donovan decision was
announced, Klinsmann said the Americans
had very, very positive about his status.
You want your leaders on the team there,
Klinsmann said.
Brek Shea was also was ruled out of the
qualiers on Tuesday because of an abdomi-
nal injury. Barring a change of plans, that
means Klinsmann will take only 22 players to
Antigua for what would seem to be a must-
win match on Friday night.
We knew Brek was a question mark com-
ing in, and now we have a clear picture of
where he stands, Klinsmann said. We feel
condent that the group we have will get the
job done.
It is not shaping up as an easy task, with
three teams playing for two spots in next
years regional nals.
The U.S., Guatemala and Jamaica all have
seven points after the rst four matches of
play in this qualifying round, while Antigua
and Barbuda has one point. For the U.S. to
reach next years regional nals, four points
a win and a tie would seem to be the
most probable requirement.
Guatemala gures to have the toughest
draw remaining of the three teams atop Group
A, having to play both Jamaica (which would
currently be the odd team out because of a
goal-differential tiebreaker) and the U.S.
If the Americans win on Friday, they would
control their destiny as far as reaching the
next round, no matter what the Guatemala-
Jamaica result is that same night.
You dont want to rely on other people,
U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard said. We
should have done business before these two
games, but we didnt, so now theres pressure
on us to do that.
There was some good news on the injury
front for the Americans on Tuesday, with mid-
elder Michael Bradley able to train with
teammates. Bradley has been dealing with a
leg injury.
About 10 of the 24 players on the roster
missed a Tuesday morning training session
for a variety of reasons from jet lag to
treatment of minor injuries. Klinsmann said
he expected the full roster to be available for
a gym session later in the day, and the
assumption was that they would all be ready
for training Wednesday as well.
Midelder Jermaine Jones (left ankle) was
among those not at training on Tuesday; he
leads all American players in appearances
(10) and minutes (877) this year, and the
expectation is that he will be able to play on
Friday. And with the way the injuries are
shaking out, Graham Zusi would most likely
get the call to play on the wide right side of
the mideld.
Were here to get six points, Klinsmann
said. This is our goal and what we want to
achieve.

NEW ORLEANS NFL Commissioner
Roger Goodell upheld the suspensions of Jonathan
Vilma and Will Smith on Tuesday for their role in
the New Orleans Saints bounty scandal and
reduced penalties for Scott Fujita and Anthony
Hargrove.
Though an appeal panel created by the NFLs
labor agreement vacated the original suspensions
on technical grounds, Goodell ruled he was stick-
ing with his decision to suspend Vilma for the sea-
son and Smith for four games.
Hargrove, a free agent defensive lineman, will
face a two-game suspension once he signs with a
team. He originally was hit with eight games, but
that was reduced to seven with ve games already
served. Fujita, who plays for Cleveland, will now
miss only one game instead of three.
The responses of Vilma, Smith and the NFL
Players Association left little doubt that the seven-
month-old bounty saga is far from over.
Vilma said on Twitter that the new ruling this is
not news to me pride wont let him admit hes
wrong. Smith issued a statement saying he will
continue to explore his appeal options.
Vilmas attorney, Peter Ginsberg, said in a state-
ment that Goodells new ruling continues his pre-
vious grossly misplaced interpretation of the evi-
dence. What the Commissioner did today is not
justice, nor just. The suspension has the nger-
prints of lawyers trying to t a square peg into a
round hole.
The players were implicated in what the NFL
said was a bounty pool run by former Saints defen-
sive coordinator Gregg Williams and paid improp-
er cash bonuses for hits that injured opponents.
The players have acknowledged a pool but denied
they intended to injure anyone.
The players can delay their suspensions by
appealing again through their labor contract,
which they have three days to do. They could also
ask a federal judge in New Orleans to revisit their
earlier request for an injunction blocking the sus-
pensions.
Goodell, meanwhile, stood by the substance of
the investigation began when allegations were rst
brought to the leagues attention three seasons ago.
The quality, specicity and scope of the evi-
dence supporting the ndings of conduct detri-
mental (to the game) are far greater and more
extensive than ordinarily available in such cases,
Goodell said in a memorandum to the 32 clubs.
Goodells new ruling comes about a month after
an appeal panel vacated the original suspensions
on technical grounds during Week 1 of the regular
season. The panel did not address the merits of the
leagues investigation. It merely asked Goodell to
clarify to extent to which his ruling involved con-
duct detrimental to the league, which he has the
sole authority to handle, and salary cap violations
resulting from bonus payments, which would have
to be ruled upon by an arbitrator other than the
commissioner.
In my recent meetings with the players and
their counsel, the players addressed the allegations
and had an opportunity to tell their side of the
story, Goodell wrote. In those meetings, the
players conrmed many of the key facts disclosed
in our investigation, most particularly that the pro-
gram offered cash rewards for cart-offs,that play-
ers were encouraged to crank up the John Deere
tractor and have their opponents carted off the
eld, and that rewards were offered and paid for
plays that resulted in opposing players having to
leave the eld of play.
Only Smith and Fujita have played this season.
Vilma has been recovering from offseason knee
surgery and hopes to return in two weeks when the
Saints play at Tampa Bay. The Saints linebacker is
on the physically unable to perform list for the rst
six weeks of the season and Goodells new ruling
said that Vilma can be paid for that period.

The Giants managed only three hits against Homer Bailey
and Reds relievers, but got two of them in the 10th along
with a passed ball by Ryan Hanigan to pull it out. San
Francisco won despite striking out 16 times.
We kept scratching and clawing down two games to none,
reliever Jeremy Affeldt said. Thats the way it is in the play-
offs.
Cincinnati nished with four hits, just one after the rst
inning.
Left-hander Barry Zito will pitch Game 4 on Wednesday for
the Giants, who have won the last 11 times he started. The
Reds have to decide whether to try ace Johnny Cueto, forced
out of the opener in San Francisco on Saturday with spasms in
his back and side.
Manager Dusty Baker said after the game that they hadnt
decided whether to let Cueto try it, bring back Mat Latos on
short rest again, or replace Cueto with Mike Leake, who was-
nt on the division series roster.
Replacing Cueto would leave the Reds ace ineligible to
pitch in the championship series should the Reds get that far.
Its very difcult, but it all depends on if your ace cant go
or whatever it is, Baker said. Thats part of the conversation
us going without him. We realize whats at stake.
The Reds havent won a home playoff game since 1995, the
last time they reached the NL championship series. One win
away from making it back there, they couldnt beat a Giants
team that has barely been able to get a hit.
Didnt need many in this one.
Bailey made his rst start at Great American Ball Park since
his Sept. 28 no-hitter in Pittsburgh and allowed only one hit in
seven innings, the latest dominating performance by a Reds
starter. Marco Scutaro singled in the sixth for the only hit off
Bailey.
Fortunately for the Giants, Baileys one lapse let to a run. He
hit a batter, walked another and gave up a sacrice y by
Angel Pagan in the third inning.
That was it until the 10th, with the Giants going down
swinging the Reds set a season high for strikeouts. Closer
Aroldis Chapman got a pair of strikeouts on 100 mph fastballs
during a perfect ninth inning, keeping it tied at 1.
San Franciscos one-hit wonders nally got it going against
Jonathan Broxton, who gave up leadoff singles by Buster
Posey the NL batting champion and Hunter Pence, who
pulled his left calf on a wild swing before getting his hit.
With two outs, Hanigan couldnt come up with a pitch, let-
ting the runners advance. Arias tough-chance grounder then
put Rolen in a tough spot charging the ball for a quick
short-hop swipe. He couldnt come up with it cleanly, and
Arias beat the throw.
No sweep this time. Instead, a Reds team that lost a lot
closer Ryan Madson in spring training, top hitter Joey Votto
for six weeks at midseason, Baker for the NL Central clinch-
er, Cueto in the rst inning of the rst playoff game ended
up with another playoff loss at home.
Baker was back in the home dugout at Great American Ball
Park on Tuesday for the rst time in nearly a month, recovered
from an irregular heartbeat and a mini-stroke. After a pregame
ovation, he settled in his red folding chair with a toothpick on
his lips.
The 63-year-old manager watched his pitching staff domi-
nate again, but fail to get that breakthrough win.

Athletics extend ALDS to Game 4
OAKLAND These Oakland
Athletics never count themselves out
down and doubted is their dogma.
Brett Anderson outdueled fellow post-
season rst-timer Anibal Sanchez and
the upstart As were stellar on defense all
over the diamond, avoiding another
playoff sweep by Detroit by beating the
Tigers 2-0 Tuesday night in their AL
division series.
The As cut their decit in the best-of-
ve matchup to 2-1.
Coco Crisp, whose misplay dearly
cost Oakland in Game 2, saved a likely
home run by Prince Fielder with a leap-
ing catch at the top of the center-eld
wall in the second and the As will
play another day in this improbable sea-
son full of remarkable rallies.
You see him hit it and you just kind
of put your head down a little bit
because you think you just gave up a
homer, Anderson said. Then you see
him plow through there and catch the
ball and it kind of kick starts you to go
out there and make pitches.
Yoenis Cespedes hit an RBI single in
the rst inning and Seth Smith homered
later. That was plenty on a night Triple
Crown winner Miguel Cabrera, Fielder
and the Tigers high-priced offense were
shut down by the low-budget As.
Tigers 16-game winner Max Scherzer
will try to close out the series in Game 4
Wednesday night against As rookie A.J.
Grifn. Detroit swept the As in the 2006
AL championship series.
Fielder was the biggest victim of
Oaklands spot-on defense, robbed three
times. First by Crisp, Oaklands most
experienced player whose blunder on
Cabreras y allowed two runs to score
in a 5-4 loss Sunday in Detroit.
Crisp let out a big Whoo! after rais-
ing his arm to signal hed made the grab.
Cocos catch, the ball was out of the
ballpark and it came back, Tigers man-
ager Jim Leyland said. The key to that
play was he was playing deep and that
enabled him to get into a spot to get up
and make the catch. And it was a great
catch, no doubt about it.
As shortstop Stephen Drew made a
tough play running to his left to stop
Fielders grounder in the fourth and then
threw to rst while still off balance and
in motion.
Then, in the seventh, Cespedes cut
over to make a diving catch on Fielders
liner to left eld.
That delighted the yellow towel-wav-
ing sellout crowd of 37,090 in this blue-
collar city.
Its frustrating. But its a good team
youre playing, Fielder said. Theyre
going to make those plays, thats why
theyre here.
After Cabrera singled with one out in
the ninth, Fielder grounded into a game-
ending double play.
The As own the lowest payroll in
baseball at $59.5 million. Fielder is get-
ting big money in Motown: $214 million
over nine years.
Anderson, back on the mound for the
rst time since straining a muscle in his
right side Sept. 19 at Detroit, worked
quickly and showed no signs of a layoff
or jitters in his rst postseason start.
Thats just not the way the As have
operated this year.

According to College of San Mateo head
womens water polo coach Randy Wright, one
of the biggest assets of his 2012 team is: igno-
rance and its bliss.
Down five goals last week to Merced
College, a team CSM has never beaten, the
Bulldogs didnt panic. They didnt self-
destruct. They didnt inch.
Because they dont know any better.
No. No panic button, Wright said. Just
adjustments. Panic results in nothing. There is
no value on panic. And when a coach panics,
its instantly picked up by the players on his or
her team and now that coach and that team are
in trouble. So panic is something that I will
not display or have, just adjustments. I think
[theyre] a smart bunch of girls that can get the
job done when they play together.
Such composure isnt something typical of
a freshman-laden team like CSMs. And
Wrights belief in his squad kept him from
making any big adjustments even with his
team down 5-0. The discipline netted the
Bulldogs two quick goals to start the second
half, allowed the game to stay tight and ulti-
mately paid off in a historical win for the
CSM womens water polo program who now
sits at 3-0 atop the Coast Conference.
I was impressed by the ability to make it
happen and to really have this eagerness to
score and get back in the game, Wright said.
The desire was something I hadnt quite seen
from this team all season. Theres a belief in
that desire that we can win, we will win, we
will get this done. It wasnt like it was a pat on
the back, good job. It was Thataway, lets go
do it again. Its planning. The proactive. It
kind of puts your opponent on their heels.
CSM followed that big win over Merced
with a dismantling of De Anza College. And
with an undefeated mark, they head over to
Foothill College against the No. 1 team in
Northern California with a chance to make
more history.
I dont think they know any better, Wright
said. I think they see the system and once
they see it working, there is no question. Its,
Alright, here we go. I dont think they have
the breadth of knowledge whether this is the
right decision or the right thing to do.
This is one of the greatest things about this
team: the belief in each other and the belief in
our team, he said. By watching our practice
the last two days, you wouldnt think they
understand theyre a six-, seven-goal under-
dog to Foothill. But the way they compose
themselves, you would think they would have
every reason to win [on Wednesday].
[Wednesday] is a win-win for us.
Foothills losses this season have come
against the cream of the crop in Southern
California womens water polo. But they do
have a big win against the consensus No. 2 in
NorCal Diablo Valley College.
We have our hands full, Wright said.
Foothill is a top-10 team in the state. We are
denitely not a top-10 team. This team (CSM)
has the ability to game plan for a team and
change their strategy and style of play for any
given team. And, when you match up with us,
you have to come ready to play. We force you
to change what youre good at and that works
in our advantage. Our goal is to keep it close
and let the fourth quarter take over.
Even with the tough task, Wright assures his
team isnt going over to Foothill to just lay
down and let the Owls breeze away with a
win.
The number one thing we want to do is
take them out of their comfort zone, Wright
said. We want to force them to do things
theyre not comfortable with doing, making
adjustments because were taking things
away. If we can take things away and they
have to go with something different thats
what were looking to do. After that, adjust-
ments will be made by both sides.
CSM will look to their money players on
offense, Miya Oto and Jasmine Zaldivar
among them, to capitalize on crucial scoring
opportunities. Defensively, the team will fun-
nel shots to the No.1 statistical goalkeeper in
the state.
The day comes down to Daria Kekuewa,
Wright said. Shes great at making saves. We
rely on her heavily with the defenses we play.
If were going to have success, its going to
have to be a banner day, its going to have to
be a 25, 30-save day [for her].
We just have to make sure the shots are
coming from the spots we want them to come
from, he said. We need to set out to take
away what we want to take away. We need to
slow them down. We need to try and force a
lower-scoring game. Were not a team that
likes a track meet. We want to be a little more
methodical and seize those moments when we
have those opportunities.

Tuesday when one of those fresh-
men, Nina Bachicha, had to ll in
for No. 1 singles player Rina Haack,
who was out. The Cougars nominal
No. 2 singles, Bachicha didnt blink
an eye. She went out and beat
Sequoias No. 1 Sadie Rehn, 6-0, 6-
3.
Not only was Bachicha playing
up a spot, it forced all the other
Cougars singles players to move
up, but other than a stumble by
freshman Natalie Barger, who fell to
Sequoias Sara Ciambrone 7-5, 6-2,
Half Moon Bays other freshmen
played well.
Erika Haak won at No. 4 singles
with a 6-4, 6-3 win over Natalie
Clark, while Ally Boville teamed up
with Julie Soreet at No. 3 doubles
to win 6-3, 6-4 over Raveen Johall
and Carolyn Burtt.
Donahue believes pushing her
players during practice has paid off
during matches. She said she does-
nt have one set lineup she rolls out
every match. Players are constantly
challenging for the spot ahead of
them, while also fending off those
players below them on the ladder.
All that competitive sharpens their
play for matches.
We have a uid roster, Donahue
said. We have a lot of movement.
[The players] always complain in
the beginning, but they have to com-
pete. It toughens them up for the
season.
While Sequoia would have loved
to knock off the undefeated
Cougars, coach Phil McKenney is
just happy to be in the spot his team
is in. Last year, the Cherokees won
only two league matches.
Last year, I was hired the day of
our rst match, McKenney said. I
took an hour to round up a team
and we limped through the season.
But McKenney has a goal of
advancing the Cherokees to the Bay
Division and he is just starting to
build the foundation. Last year, he
had 10 players on the team. This
year, that number jumped up to 22.
He thought the Cherokees might
contend for the Ocean champi-
onship this year until his team
lost 6-1 to Half Moon Bay the rst
time around.
I saw this (Half Moon Bay) team
and recognized them as being one
of the better teams, McKenney
said. (But) my team has progressed
and gotten better over the last eight
weeks. We built (this match) up to
be the biggest match of the season.
We had an opportunity to take down
an undefeated team.
The Cherokees have improved,
just not enough to stop Half Moon
Bay. Sequoia did take one more
match from the Cougars than they
did the rst time around, getting
their second point from the No. 2
doubles team of Sesilia Lauese and
Sara Cunningham, who beat Lena
Nguyen and Tiana Spano 6-3, 7-5.
The No. 1 doubles match was won
by Half Moon Bays Liz Boville and
Marci Springer, 6-0, 7-6(7-5) over
Lauren Newman and Alex Hibbert.
Melanie Woechtler gave Half Moon
Bay three of the four singles points
with a 6-1, 2-6, 6-4 win over Julie
Self.
COUGARS
NATHAN MOLLAT/DAILY JOURNAL
Half Moon Bay freshman Nina Bachicha moved up to the No. 1 singles
spot and won in straight sets for the Cougars.
Shes pulling the load, Whitmill
said.
Paulina King, who also recently
returned ot the starting lineup, also had
17 kills to go along with 30 digs.
Carlmont couldnt not close the deal
despite another huge match from Kallan
Bedard, who tied her career high in kills
with 29 and set an new career high in
digs with 37. Ella McDonough added 17
kills and three blocks, while Charlotte
Jackman, who also missed action this
season with injury, had a strong all-
around match with nine kills, six digs,
three blocks and three service aces.
M-A had to battle back and win the
nal two games to snatch the win. As the
scores indicate, there is not a lot that
separates these two and in the end, M-A
played just a little bit better. Carlmont
pulled out a 28-26 win in Game 1. Game
2 was just as close. With the score tied at
15, the Bears pulled away down the
stretch to even the match at a game
apiece.
Game 3 was a carbon copy of the rst
two games. Carlmont never trailed, but
the Bears never went away. There were
14 ties throughout the game and it could
not have been any closer down the
stretch. The Scots had some breathing
room at 22-20, but the teams traded
points until the Scots got back-to-back
kills from McDonough to give them a
28-26 win.
Carlmont led most of the way in
Game 4 before the Bears nally found a
rhythm. The Scots led 18-16 following a
Jackman ace, but a kills from M-As
Katherine Wilcox gave the Bears a side-
out and also jump started a 4-0 run that
gave M-A its rst lead of the game 20-
18 off an ace from April Smith. The
Bears held a 24-22 lead off a kill from
King, but two straight M-A errors
allowed the Scots to tie the score at 24.
But a kill from Doherty and a Carlmont
set error gave the game to the Bears and
forced the decisive Game 5.
M-A jumped out to a quick 4-1 lead in
the nal set and led 6-3 on a Doherty kill
before Carlmont made a push. A M-A
serve into the net gave the Scots a side-
out. Two more M-A errors and a Bedard
kill gave the Scots a 7-6 lead in the race
to 15. The Bears eventually tied the
score at 10, but the Bears won ve of the
next seven points to secure the victory.
We did a better job taking advantage
of opportunities [Carlmont] was giving
us (in the nal two games), Whitmill
said. And we werent returning the
favor.

Montgomery likely to
miss game at No. 7 Notre Dame
STANFORD No. 17 Stanford will likely
be without its top wide receiver Saturday
when the Cardinal travels to undefeated No. 7
Notre Dame.
Stanford coach David Shaw said it was
unlikely that sophomore Ty Montgomery will
play against the Irish because of a lower body
injury.
Montgomery, who has caught 18 passes for
168 yards, was injured during Stanfords wild
54-48 overtime victory over Arizona last
weekend.
Montgomery had a breakout game in
Stanfords 56-48 triple overtime won over
Southern California last season. He played in
all 13 games and started the last four. Hes
also Stanfords top kickoff returner and
recorded a 96-yard kickoff return against
Washington last year.
Senior receiver Jamal-Rashad Patterson is
expected to make his rst college start in
Montgomerys place.

eeknight cooking generally is
pretty utilitarian. It may not be
very pretty or impressive, but it
usually is tasty and gets the job done.
Which tends to throw everything for a loop
on those rare weeknights when something
special is needed. Just because you need to
feed last minute company on a Wednesday
evening doesnt mean you magically have
extra time to pull it off. Those are the nights
when we need something that is impressive
and delicious, as well as easy and speedy.
Easier said than done. But hardly impossi-
ble.
Its for nights such as this that I keep a
couple packages of puff pastry in the freezer.
This versatile dough is delicious, inexpensive
and cooks up in minutes. It can be used for
desserts or savory dishes, and is pretty much
agreeable to any shape you care to fold,
mold or cut it into.
Puff pastry is just what the name implies
a pastry-style dough that, because of the
layers of fat worked into it, puffs up when
baked. The result is a light and delicately
crunchy pastry (think croissant).
Most grocers sell puff
pastry in the freezer sec-
tion alongside the phyl-
lo dough, fruit and other
pastry items. The most
common brand is
Pepperidge Farm, which
comes as a 17.3-ounce
package that contains
two sheets of pastry.
Each sheet is packed
folded into thirds and
must be thawed before
unfolding.
While there are innumerable ways of trans-
forming puff pastry into wonderful desserts,
I prefer to use it as the base of savory tarts.
To do this, simply thaw and unfold a sheet of
pastry, set it on a lightly oiled baking sheet,
then top it with thinly sliced vegetables or
meat and bake until puffed and lightly
browned.

canned artichoke hearts, fresh thyme, minced

While there are innumerable ways of transforming puff pastry into wonderful desserts, you
can also use it as the base of savory tarts.

Lemon doughnuts generally involve
fried dough lled with sticky, tart-sweet
yellow goo that tastes more of sugar than
of serious lemon.
So we decided to reinvent the lemon
doughnut as a baked treat that is at once
lighter and more deliciously lemony. We
started with a golden cake-style baked
doughnut which we ecked with the
potent avor of real lemon zest. We then
top the doughnuts with a simple pow-
dered sugar-lemon juice glaze. The
result is wonderful.
BAKED LEMON DOUGHNUTS
Start to nish: 45 minutes
Servings: 12
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, room tem-
perature
1/4 cup vegetable or canola oil
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Zest of 1 lemon
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups all-purpose our
1 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup powdered sugar
Heat the oven to 425 F. Coat 2 dough-
nut pans with baking spray; you can use
pans designed for either large or small
doughnuts. A mini doughnut pan will
bake more quickly.
In a medium bowl, use an electric
mixer to beat together the butter,
oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar,
baking powder, baking soda, salt,
vanilla and lemon zest. Beat in the
eggs, one at a time, scraping the
bowl between additions.
Stir in half the our followed by half
the buttermilk, then the remaining our
and nally the remaining buttermilk.
Spoon the batter into the prepared pans,
lling the doughnut wells to about 1/4
inch from the top. If usig a mini dough-
nut pan, you will need to bake in multi-
ple batches. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes,
or until golden and cooked through.
Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes
before turning out onto a rack.
To make the glaze, stir together the
lemon juice and powdered sugar. Dip the
tops of the doughnuts in the glaze and
allow to set or enjoy immediately.

Venable writes in his just-released cook-
book, In the Kitchen with David.
Everything we love about melted cheese
rich, ooey, gooeyness is right here
in this cheeseburger casserole. Its easy
to make, can be put together ahead and
frozen, and its kid-friendly. For kids of
all ages, that is.
CHEESEBURGER CASSEROLE
Start to nish: 1 hour
Servings: 6
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt
16-ounce package elbow macaroni
2 pounds ground beef
1 large yellow onion, chopped
Two 8-ounce cans tomato sauce
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup (8 ounces) ricotta cheese
1/4 cup (2 ounces) sour cream
1/3 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/3 cup chopped scallions
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded cheddar
cheese
1/4 cup (1 ounce) shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Heat the oven to 350 F.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add
1 tablespoon of the salt and the macaroni
and cook until tender but still rm to the
bite, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain well.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high
heat. Add the beef and onion and cook,
stirring, until the beef is well browned.
Carefully drain the fat from the skillet,
then stir in the tomato sauce, the remain-
ing 1 teaspoon of salt, and the black pep-
per. Bring to a simmer over low heat while
preparing the remaining ingredients.
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta,
sour cream, bell pepper and scallions.
Spread half of the pasta in the bottom of a
9-by-13-inch baking dish. Top with the
ricotta mixture, then the remaining pasta.
Pour the meat mixture over the top.
Sprinkle with the cheddar and mozzarella.
Bake the casserole until the cheese is
melted and lightly browned, about 20
minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley before
serving.

In addition to our dinner menu, we offer . . .
Flank steaks are meant to be briey grilled or broiled to rare or medium-rare, then thinly sliced across the grain.The result is
deliciously beefy and substantial.
By J.M. Hirsch
So you think you know steaks? And
maybe you do.
But truth is, you probably only really
know the particular cuts you buy over and
over again. Thats good, but theres a
world of great beef out there to explore.
And many of those cuts (and by the way,
butchers are creating new ones all the
time) are far more versatile than you
think.
You could spend ages learning the dif-
ferent cuts of beef and the various names
for each (there isnt nearly as much nam-
ing standardization as you would think).
But I think its better to simply pick a cut
you havent often prepared at home and
start playing around with it. Thats how I
learned to love ank steak.
First, the basics. Flank steaks are lean
cuts from the rear side of the cow and are
characterized by rich, deep beefy avor
and a slightly chewy texture.
Traditionally, London broils were made
using ank steaks, though today any of the
leaner, less tender cuts often are substitut-
ed.
Flank steaks are easy to identify by
sight because they are at and have a long,
horizontal grain that runs the length of the
meat. These steaks are meant to be briey
grilled or broiled to rare or medium-rare,
then thinly sliced across the grain. The
result is deliciously beefy and substantial.
Flank steaks also love to be marinated.
And because they have a heartier texture,
they can handle more acidic marinades for
longer, even overnight.
When shopping for ank steaks, note
that some grocers will label them
London broil. Just note that they also
sometimes label other cuts as London
broil, too. So when in doubt, its best to
ask.
For the weeknight home cook, ank
steaks are the perfect cut. They can be
tossed with a marinade the night before
and left in the refrigerator until dinner.
And they cook in just minutes on the grill
or under the broiler. As with all meat,
ank steak should rest for 5 to 10 minutes
after cooking before slicing to let the
juices redistribute.
For more ideas for using ank steak,
check out the Off the Beaten Aisle column
over on Food Network:

BALSAMIC-PEPPER FLANK STEAK
WITH GRILLED PEARS,BLUE CHEESE
For extra avor, the marinade can be
mixed with beef broth, then boiled and
reduced until thick (while the steaks
cook), then drizzled over the nished dish.
Start to nish: 30 minutes (plus mari-
nating)
Servings: 4
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds ank steak
2 pears, peeled, halved and cored
Crumbled blue cheese, for topping
In a blender, combine the vinegar, gar-
lic, peppercorns and 1 teaspoon of kosher
salt. Blend for 20 seconds, then transfer to
a wide, shallow bowl.
Add the steak to the marinade, turning
to coat. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
When ready to cook, heat the broiler
with a rack 6 inches from the heat. Line a
rimmed baking sheet with foil, then coat it
lightly with cooking spray.
Cut each pear half into 4 slices, then
arrange them on one half of the prepared
baking sheet.
Remove the steak from the marinade
and set it on the other half of the sheet.
Broil everything for 5 minutes, then use
tongs to ip the steak and pears. Broil for
another 5 minutes for medium-rare.
Let the steaks rest for 10 minutes, then
cut into thin slices against the grain.
Divide the slices between 4 serving plates,
then top each with pear slices.
Top each serving with a bit of crumbled
blue cheese.

beefy flavor of steak
Drought crushes local
beef industry in Hawaii
By Audrey McAvoy
HONOLULU Hawaiis beef market is backward. Nearly
all the beef eaten here 95 percent arrives packaged on
container ships from the U.S. mainland. At the same time,
Hawaii cattle ranchers ship 40,000 live cattle each year to
California, Kansas and other states, while just 4,000 are
slaughtered for meat sales in Hawaii.
The economics made sense for decades. Huge slaughter-
houses elsewhere could process beef more efciently than
smaller ones in Hawaii, and its cheaper to send cattle to the
mainland to be fattened than to bring in corn or other grains to
feed calves after theyre weaned.
Now, national interest in locally grown food and grass-fed
beef has caught on in Hawaii offering ranchers plenty of
reason to escape this paradox. But the opportunity comes as
crushing drought has made it difcult to keep enough cattle
here to capitalize on the demand.
Rancher and veterinarian Dr. Tim Richards has been trying
for six years to raise more cattle on his familys century-old
ranch. He holds back some calves he previously would have
sent to Oregon, Texas or elsewhere for nal feeding, or n-
ishing. But eight years of below-normal rainfall have left lit-
tle grass for the cattle to eat.
You put them out, and then it doesnt rain and then instead
of growing, they just sort of stand around, said Richards, the
president of Kahua Ranch on the slopes of the Big Islands
Kohala volcano.
The cows dont put on enough weight to be taken to market,
so Richards winds up shipping them to the mainland anyway
to eat corn and other grains before being sent to the slaughter-
house.
Its very frustrating, because you keep trying, but it keeps
getting stopped, he said.
Ranching in Hawaii dates to the 1830s, when King
Kamehameha III asked Mexican vaqueros, or cowboys, to
come to the islands to help round up feral cattle descended
from those given to the kings family years earlier by the
British explorer George Vancouver. The vaqueros taught
Hawaiians how to ride horses and lasso animals, giving rise to
the distinctive paniolo, or Hawaiian cowboys.
In recent years, high grain and oil prices have made it less
affordable to send cattle to the mainland for nishing. At the
same time, restaurants and grocery stores in Hawaii have seen
more demand for premium local meat thats considered lean-
er, healthier, better for the environment and tastier.

garlic and a whole mess of grated
Parmesan cheese. Ive also done pizza-
like versions, topping the pastry with
sliced tomatoes, garlic, basil and fresh
mozzarella.
As a general rule, its best to choose
toppings that either cook quickly or
already are cooked. Puff pastry cooks
quickly, so you want to make certain
your toppings dont take longer than
the pastry.
PUFF PASTRY PISSALADIERE
Start to finish: 25 minutes (10

1 sheet frozen puff pastry (each
17.3-ounce package contains 2 sheets),
thawed according to package direc-
tions
2 roasted red peppers, drained
2-ounce tin oil-packed anchovy fil-
lets, well drained
Ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped Kalamata olives
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Heat the oven to 425 F. Lightly coat
a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Unfold the thawed sheet of puff pas-
try and set it on the prepared baking
sheet.
Use paper towels to pat dry the
roasted red peppers removing as much
moisture as possible without mashing
the peppers. Cut the peppers into thin
strips, then arrange them evenly over
the pastry.
Spacing them evenly so as to have
enough to cover the tart, arrange the
anchovies over the red peppers. Season
the tart with black pepper, then sprin-
kle the chopped olives evenly over the
tart. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese evenly
over everything.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the
pastry is puffed and browned at the
edges and the cheese is melted and
lightly browned. Cut into squares and
serve warm or room temperature.

dependent on the rened talent of its seven
band members. Englishs drumming conveys
the rhythmic style of the Grateful Deads Bill
Kreutzmann while Jeff Mattson, 54, guitarist
of the Dark Star Orchestra, has been said to
reincarnate the uid timbre of Jerry Garcia.
Unlike general cover bands, this tribute
band doesnt attempt to replicate the Grateful
Deads music note for note.
Its not really conducive to this kind of
music; it would sort of defeat the purpose to
playing a Grateful Dead show, Mattson said.
Instead, they pride themselves in maintain-
ing the free ow spirit of the music.
The music is kind of like a rollercoaster, it
can start off intense and then drop down to
some more mellow songs, and take back up
again, English said.
As the style and sound of the Grateful Dead
changed throughout its years, the Dark Star
Orchestra mixes up its own performances in
accordance with time appropriate concerts,
English said.
Generally, that means well be replicating
a set list the Grateful Dead played somewhere
throughout their history, Mattson said.
When pressed for the period of the upcom-
ing show, English kept it shrouded in mystery.
Thats the catch here, we dont say before
the show, we let people guess, he said.
Speculating what era a Dark Star Orchestra
concert is mimicking may come easily to
diehard fans, known as Deadheads, but all
attendees will know by the end of the show.
The band is thrilled to provide a glimpse into
the past for younger generations who didnt
have an opportunity to see the Grateful Dead
perform live, Mattson said.
Entertaining Deadheads and fostering new
fans is key as band members are here to keep
the music alive, and we cant do that alone,
English said.
But really, its all about the experience.
The Grateful Dead were less of a specta-
cle, but more of a coming together, Mattson
said.
The 21 and older show begins at 9 p.m. at
the Fox Theatre 2215 Broadway in Redwood
City. Tickets are $28 in advance and $35 day

Although SamTrans had an operating sur-
plus last year by about $13.9 million, it still
had to use about $10.5 million in reserves to
balance this years budget to pay down annu-
al debt payments for the Bay Area Rapid
Transit extension to the San Francisco
International Airport. The annual debt pay-
ment for the BART extension is about $24.4
million and is not expected to be paid down
until 2032.
With ridership continuing to decline on
buses, there is little support from the farebox
and dwindling reserves. SamTrans is looking
to nd a way to fund Caltrains full schedule
without impacting bus service.
While Caltrain has seen two straight years
of monthly ridership increases, ridership on
SamTrans is declining.
In August, ridership on SamTrans declined
2.7 percent from the same month last year. For
the year, which started July 1, ridership has
declined 3.1 percent, according to a staff
report to the SamTrans board.
SamTrans average weekday ridership was
38,690 in August this year compared to
39,760 riders a day in August last year.
Total ridership on buses in August was
1,037,950 compared to the more than 1.3 mil-
lion trips taken on Caltrain for the same peri-
od.
The board will hear ridership gures today
and get an update on the exploration of fund-
ing sources to support SamTrans, including a
possible tax measure for the 2014 or later bal-
lot.
The SamTrans board meets 2 p.m., today,

bars. But if your kids arent peanut butter
inclined, just leave it out.
PEANUT BUTTER SMORES BARS
Start to finish: 20 minutes (plus cooling)

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
10-ounce package marshmallows
1/4 cup smooth natural peanut butter
3 cups graham cereal, lightly crushed
1 sleeve of graham crackers (9 sheets),
lightly crushed
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate bits
1/2 cup lightly salted peanuts
Coat a 9-by-9-inch baking pan with
cooking spray.
In a large saucepan over medium-low,
heat the butter, marshmallows and peanut
butter. Stir until completely melted and
smooth.
Remove the pan from the heat and add
the graham cereal and graham crackers.
Stir to coat. Using buttered fingers, press
the mixture into the prepared pan. Set
aside.
In a microwave-safe dish, melt the
chocolate bits by heating in 30-second
intervals, stirring in between. Spread the
melted chocolate over the bars and sprinkle
with the peanuts. Allow to cool and then
cut into bars.

year from the Musich family and won
the Ben Franklin in a Dutch auction in
2011 for about $6 million. He already
owned the old Wachovia Bank property
before setting his sights on opening a
school.
The universitys four-week pilot pro-
gram this summer was conned to the
hotel with only 45 students but the next
crop of students, about 150, may also
take classes or study at any of the three
buildings that will ultimately comprise
the campus, depending on city
approvals.
We expect it to be an entrepreneurial
center that will also incorporate activi-
ties for the school, Draper wrote the
Daily Journal in an email about his plans
for the Collective Antiques building.
Drapers investment in downtown was
praised by Linda Asbury, president of
the San Mateo Area Chamber of
Commerce.
I could be a game-changer for down-
town, Asbury told the Daily Journal.
There is a great appeal and interest in
what he is doing. He has invested a great
deal of money in the area.
Asbury suspects the university will
bring lots of foot trafc to downtown
who will shop and eat locally.
The San Mateo Planning Commission
will hold a public hearing on the matter
later this month and the public has up
until Oct. 16 to submit comments on the
proposal.
The City Council also just voted to
relax its retail storefront requirements
that allows for greater ofce use down-
town that could benet the university.
Before the council vote, zoning rules
dictated that storefronts on the ground
oors downtown be used for mostly
retail purposes.
If all goes according to plan, the uni-
versity will be housed at the hotel at 36-
44 E. Third Ave., the Collective Antiques
building at 51-65 E. Third Ave., and the
old Wachovia bank building at 37 E.
Fourth Ave.
The bank building consists of two
oors and the ground oor will is pro-
posed to house Draper University
administrative offices and a Draper
University retail store. The second oor
is currently leased to a startup whose
lease expires in early 2014.
The long-term proposed use for the
Collective Antiques building is to be an
Entrepreneurs Club Arena with a speak-
er forum room and theater/live studio in
the basement where SnapLogic current-
ly leases space. SnapLogic will then
move to the second oor, according to
Drapers proposal.
Part of the project includes improve-
ments to the court area at the hotel,
including landscaping, trees, pavement,
access stairs and signs, according to a
staff report.
The hotels penthouse is proposed to
be open to the public and plans include
constructing a new elevator on the out-
side of the building to reach the top oor.
Plans also include installing a cellular
antennae on the hotel to improve service
in the area.
The school plans to have four 10-week
sessions that coordinate with the
Stanford University quarterly system.
The school expects to board about 150
students, aged 21 to 24, at the hotel with
a condition that the students leave their
cars at home.
At the end of the session, students will
have the opportunity to pitch for funding
from Silicon Valley venture capitalists.
Draper is the founder of the venture
capital rm Draper Fisher Jurvetson and
funded Hotmail, Skype and Baidu in
their infancies.
The Planning Commission meets 7:30
p.m., Oct. 23, City Hall, 330 W. 20th
Ave., San Mateo.

technology throughout the curriculum
starting in the 2013-14 school year.
Superintendent David Hutt explained
the presentation will allow the board the
chance to discuss the idea and ask for
more information or action if desired.
Unlike most magnet schools, the El
Crystal proposal includes keeping the
current boundaries and allowing stu-
dents from throughout the district to also
enroll as space permits. The school
would convert its media center to be for-
mally named the Danford Center for
Innovation. The name will honor the
Danford Foundation which has donated
more than $200,000 to both El Crystal
and Parkside to support the implementa-
tion of technology. The center would
serve as space for continued teacher pro-
fessional development and as a student
technology activity center, according to
the proposal included in the staff report.
If the board likes the idea, the propos-
al calls for the creation of a subcommit-
tee including school, district and com-
munity representatives to create an
action plan that includes designing cur-
riculum, considering enrollment possi-
bilities, making presentations to the larg-
er school community, working with a
volunteer architect to redesign the media
center and seeking outside funding.
Johnson has long shown an interest in
using technology at his school. The
school is in its fth year of eCAP, El
Crystal audiobook program, which start-
ed with one iPod and a handful of audio-
books. As of this spring, with about 50
devices and hundreds of audiobooks,
students and teachers said the program
has continued to help students excel,
gain condence and become more avid
readers.
At the same meeting, the board will
discuss its previous request to Pacic
Gas and Electric for compensation.
Previously, the district requested the
company reimburse it for costs related to
the Sept. 9, 2010 explosion and re in
San Bruno. A total of $34,495.81 was
requested to cover employee overtime
and student transportation. This year, the
company sent a check. The rst check
included a note that it constituted a
compromise settlement of all claims.
As a result, the district requested a new
check without such information on it,
which was then issued but not yet
cashed.
In March, PG&E agreed to pay San
Bruno $70 million in restitution for the
fatal 2010 explosion. San Bruno will use
the funds to establish a separate non-
prot public purpose entity to manage
the funds and determine they can benet
the entire community. In light of that, the
district requested a larger amount of
$2.85 million from PG&E. Alternatively,
the district suggested annual payments
of $250,000 to $350,000 over multiple
years for different uses. Although PG&E
declined the suggestion, the company
did suggest upgrades to play equipment
as well as tutoring and counseling serv-
ices through its philanthropic founda-
tion. Now the board will discuss its next
move.
The board meets 7 p.m. Wednesday,
Oct. 10 at Belle Air Elementary, 450
Third Ave., San Bruno.

beneft from many of your ideas and comments.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Hunches or perceptions

your commercial affairs. Theres a good chance your
intuition will zero in on things your logic overlooks.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Some of your

fulfllment than will your lesser ones. It behooves you
to not put any limitations on your thinking.

your work or career, you could be exceptionally fortu-
nate when working on vital projects. Dont be afraid

out quite well in a partnership situation, if the ideas
you have mesh well with the course of action your
partner wants to take. Work together.

er that what you have to offer, whether it is an idea

good leader, youre also likely to be a very capable
manager. Make sure youre both when dealing with
sticky situations.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Things will work out in
the long run if you are patient enough to wait it out.
Dont get disturbed over a matter that gets off track
-- its just a temporary mishap.

U.S. physicist David Wineland and Serge Haroche of France
were awarded the 2012 Nobel Prize in Physics.
U.S., French physicists win
Nobel for quantum work
By Malcolm Ritter and Karl Ritter
NEW YORK A Frenchman and an American shared the
Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for inventing methods to peer
into the bizarre quantum world of ultra-tiny particles, work that
could help in creating a new generation of super-fast computers.
Serge Haroche of France and American David Wineland
opened the door to new experiments in quantum physics in the
1990s by showing how to observe individual atoms and parti-
cles of light called photons while preserving their quantum
properties.
Quantum physics, a eld about a century old, explains a lot
about nature but includes some weird-sounding behavior by
individual, isolated particles. A particle resists our idea of
either-or: its not here or there, its sort of both. Its not spin-
ning clockwise or counter-clockwise, but a bit of both. It gets
a denite location or spin only when its measured.
Working separately, the two scientists, both 68, developed
ingenious laboratory methods that allowed them to manage
and measure and control fragile quantum states, the Royal
Swedish Academy of Sciences said.
By Aron Heller
JERUSALEM Israels prime min-
ister on Tuesday ordered new parliamen-
tary elections in early 2013, roughly
eight months ahead of schedule, setting
the stage for a lightning quick campaign
that will likely win him re-election.
For nearly four years, Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu has presided over
a conservative coalition that has proven
stable in a country where governments
rarely serve out a full term. Re-election
could grant him a fresh mandate to con-
tinue his tough stance toward Irans
suspect nuclear program, put the
already deadlocked peace process with
the Palestinians further into deep freeze
and complicate relations with the U.S.
if President Barack Obama is re-elect-
ed.
In a nationally televised address,
Netanyahu said he was forced to call the
snap polls after his coalition could not
agree on a budget.
I have decided that it is in Israels
better interest to go to elections now and
as quickly as possible, he said. For
Israel, it is preferable to have as short a
campaign as possible, one of three
months over one that would last in prac-
tice an entire year and damage Israels
economy.
With no viable alternative on the hori-
zon, Netanyahu is expected to easily be
re-elected as prime minister: He is riding
a wave of popularity and his opposition
is fragmented and leaderless.
The next vote had been scheduled for
a full year from now, although specula-
tion had been growing for weeks that the
current governments days were num-
bered and that Netanyahu would call for
an early vote.
The immediate reason for the snap
elections was the coalitions inability to
pass a 2013 budget by a Dec. 31 dead-
line, but Netanyahu has long been
rumored to be leaning toward elections,
given his high standings in opinion polls,
the lack of a clear rival and fears the
economy could weaken next year.
A recent poll in the Haaretz daily
found that 35 percent of Israelis believe
Netanyahu is most suited to being prime
minister, more than double that of his
closest rival, Labor leader Shelly
Yachimovich. The survey questioned
507 people and had a margin of error of
4.2 percentage points.
Netanyahu said he spent Tuesday
holding talks with his coalition partners
and came to the conclusion that at this
time it is not possible to pass a responsi-
ble budget.
He listed his accomplishments, saying
his government had boosted security at a
time of regional turmoil and improved
the economy despite the global econom-
ic meltdown.
Israeli PMcalls for early elections
By E. Eduardo Castillo
and Michael Weissenstein
MEXICO CITY An army special
forces deserter whose brutality and para-
military tactics helped transform a small
group of drug cartel enforcers into one
of the worlds most feared international
criminal organizations was gunned
down by Mexican marines outside a
baseball stadium in a state on the border
with Texas, ofcials said Tuesday.
Hours later, a group of armed men
raided the funeral home where Heriberto
Lazcanos body was lying, hijacked a
hearse and disappeared into the night
with the corpse of the man who led the
Zetas in a reign of terror over swaths of
Mexico running from the U.S. border
south to Guatemala, ofcials said.
The theft of the body in the northern
state of Coahuila added a bizarre and
embarrassing twist to the take-down of
the most significant drug lord since
President Felipe Calderon launched his
strategy targeting cartel leadership and
released a list of the 37 most wanted in
2009. Calderon noted Tuesday that 25
on that list have been killed or arrested.
The bodys disappearance demonstrat-
ed the unchecked control that drug gangs
maintain over large parts of many
Mexican states six years into a struggle
that shows little sign of abating.
Independent analysts said they expect-
ed Lazcanos death to throw the Zetas
into disarray, setting off a violent power
struggle inside the cartel as its relatively
autonomous local cells decide whether
to ally with other cartels or align with
the Zetas remaining boss, Miguel Angel
Trevino Morales, a man considered even
more ruthless and brutal than Lazcano.
The killing will also probably intensi-
fy the Zetas war with the countrys
other dominant criminal organization,
the Sinaloa cartel controlled by
Mexicos most-wanted man, Joaquin El
Chapo Guzman.
At the center of the two cartels strug-
gle is Nuevo Laredo, a violence-torn city
across from Laredo, Texas. More freight
crosses there than anywhere else along
the U.S.-Mexican border, making it one
of the most valuable smuggling routes in
the world.
