A former Mid-Peninsula Water
District worker stole more than
$200,000 to fund a gambling
addiction but the three-year theft
was not discovered until after the
woman had a stroke and another
employee took over her responsi-
bilities, according to prosecutors.
The District Attorneys Office
charged Catherine Abou-Remeleh,
53, with crimes that carry up to
eight years in prison including
theft of government funds over
$200,000, identity theft and an
allegation of committing aggra-
vated white collar crime.
Abou-Remeleh, of Hayward, is
in an assisted living facility with
severe medical issues stemming
from her stroke so she wasnt
arrested and wont be in court until
Nov. 12, said District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe.
Prosecutors began looking at
Abou-Remeleh after the district
turned over its suspicions but was
waiting on the results of a lengthy
forensic audit before filing
charges, Wagstaffe said.
Abou-Remeleh was the adminis-
trative services manager of the
municipal water special district
that primarily serves Belmont and
reportedly worked there for about a
decade. Just before Christmas of
2011, she took a leave of absence
after suffering a stroke and anoth-
er employee discovered some
financial irregularities that
prompted its own audit in late
2011.
Those irregularities, Wagstaffe
said, included writing 187 checks
to herself from the districts Wells

Middle College students are using what
they have learned in their classes to raise
awareness about poverty, the power of edu-
cating girls and to support entrepreneurial
women.
All proceeds from rafe and food sales at
an Oct. 10 screening of Girl Rising go to
fund $200-$400 microloans for women in
Guatemala. The effort began with the
Hillsdale Effect, started by Hillsdale High
School teacher Greg Lance with students
through a partnership between Namaste-
Direct and the San Mateo Rotary Club.
We want to help x the imbalance and get
the world to realize this too, said Oryan
Levi, a student representative for the Middle
College Effect, a club that spawned last year
out of the Hillsdale Effect. Both schools are
part of the San Mateo Union High School
District.
Since it began in 2009, the Hillsdale
Effect has funded microloans for 55 women
in Guatemala looking to start sustainable
businesses and led 44 students on the study
tour. A core group of Middle College stu-
dents have become active in the club, but all
60 students in the Middle College are
involved in planning and promoting the
event through their classes. Students use a
combination of social media, crowd-sourc-
ing and face-to-face marketing techniques to
draw people to the event.
Students learn so much from their
involvement in this program, Lance said
in an e-mail. They come to recognize the
privileges we have in living with the rela-
tive wealth we experience in the Bay Area,
compared to a place like Guatemala. They
develop nancial literacy in understanding
both how the conventional banking system
works and how microcredit specifically
addresses the needs of the poor. They begin
to learn about international development
issues and the ways non-governmental
organizations play a role in that. They
develop a whole host of authentic skills
public speaking, marketing, event plan-
ning, fundraising and networking.
The students screened Girl Rising, a
movie about the power of education to
empower girls, at the College of San Mateo,
where Middle College is located. Students in
Lances 11th and 12th grade English classes
have been studying literature exploring how
education, especially of women, can lead to
social change in the developing world and
will seek to inform the public more about
this issue on the night of the event.
I felt like a lot of people are ignorant to
others things happening in the world, said
Angie Marsland, student representative for
the Middle College Effect. I wanted to be
part of something that is actually making a
difference. Were all part of the same world
and theres a big illusion of separation
between us and the people who really need
our help.
Senior marketing teams are competing
against each other to see whose campaign is
most effective in drawing people to the lm
screening. The juniors and seniors are com-
peting to see which group can sell the most
rafe tickets. The winner gets a pizza lunch.
Melissa Diaz, now a sophomore at
Stanford University, was part of the
Hillsdale Effect when she was a student at
Hillsdale High School.
The Hillsdale Effect initially helped me
understand the intricacies of international
poverty, and later gave me the tools and
inspiration to continue to work to find
innovative and efcient solutions to inter-
national issues, Diaz said in an e-mail. As
a group, we would attend documentary lm
screenings, leadership in human rights con-
ferences and, as a result, we learned so much
about loan cycles, banking, poverty traps
and NGOs. After the study tour, my passion
for international development was cement-
ed forever; I now continue to be a part of
various development and human rights
groups at Stanford, and I plan on majoring
in international relations with specializa-
tions in Latin America and social develop-
ment and human well-being with a minor in
economics.
Kristin Houk, president and CEO of
Namaste-Direct, said she met Lance through
a Rotary Club member interested in starting
a project like this one. She said the
microloans mean a lot to the women receiv-
ing them.
For many women that may mean that
they can attain greater purchasing power by
buying goods in bulk, or that they have cap-
ital to purchase a much-needed item for their
business like a sewing machine, or kitchen
equipment, she said in an email.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The Stanford University graduate student
who collided into a taxi, killing a passenger
and injuring others, while allegedly intoxicat-
ed and driving the wrong way on Highway 101
in South San Francisco is free from custody
while prosecutors weigh potential charges.
Zachary Katz, 24, posted $250,000 bail
Thursday afternoon about two hours after
being released from the hospital where he was
treated for his own injuries and being booked
into the county jail by the California Highway
Patrol on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter
while under the inuence and DUI with a blood
alcohol content greater than .15. He is sched-
uled to appear in court Nov. 12 and prosecutors
will review the case for charging prior to that
date, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Katz was arrested early Oct. 5 after allegedly
driving his Inniti the wrong way onto south-
bound Highway 101 near Sierra Point Parkway
and crashing into an SUVcab traveling south
just before 4 a.m.
The impact pushed the taxi across several
lanes of trafc before being hit by a Mazda.
The driver of the Mazda was not hurt but taxi
passenger Pedro Soldevila, 62, of Puerto Rico,
was ejected and died at the scene. The taxi driv-
er, Azmach Ejersa, 31, of Emeryville, and a
second passenger were hospitalized with seri-
ous injuries.
The two passengers were not wearing seat

SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown on
Friday signed a bill requiring limousines
that operate in California to have emer-
gency exits, but vetoed another bill requir-
ing annual Highway Patrol limo inspec-
tions, saying it fails to properly pay for
them.
The bills were introduced after two recent
limousine res including one in May that
killed five trapped women on a San
Francisco Bay Area bridge.
Brown signed SB 109, sponsored by
Democratic Sen. Ellen Corbett of San
Leandro, requiring limos that carry fewer
than 10 passengers to have two push-out
windows and two rear doors. Drivers also
would need to instruct passengers about the
vehicles safety features at the beginning of
a trip, starting in January 2016.
The governor, however, vetoed SB338
from Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, requir-
ing the CHP to conduct annual safety
inspections for stretch limousines for a fee
of $75.
Brown said in a statement that the price
was insufcient to cover the CHPs inspec-
tion costs, and called for an otherwise-iden-
tical bill allowing for better funding.
Riding in a limousine should be free from
dangers that can be avoided with an annual
safety inspection, Browns statement said.
I call on the legislature to send me urgency
legislation next January with the same pro-
visions except authorizing the CHP t o
charge a fee for the actual cost to perform the
inspections.
Hill said he was disappointed in the veto
because he believed after working with the
CHP that the fee was a fair price, but said he
was condent that adjusted legislation could
be put into early next year because the gov-
ernor wants the bill and likes the bill.
The May 4 re killed ve women, includ-
ing 31-year-old bride Neriza Fojas as they
rode to a wedding party across the San
Mateo-Hayward Bridge.

OAKLAND A San Francisco Bay Area
transit agency and two unions spent the day
bargaining Friday, a day after dodging one
deadline for a crippling strike as another
one looms Monday.
Wi th state legislators acting as facilita-
tors and BARTs general manager listening
to proposals much of the day, the two sides
did not discuss specic developments but
said Friday saw a shift that could lead to a
weekend agreement.
The elements are here that are needed for
the two sides to come together, said Pete
Castelli, executive director for the Service
Employees International Union local 1021.
The SEIU and the Amalgamated Transit
Union Local 1555 agreed to keep negotiat-
ing after a 60-day, state-mandated cooling-
off period that prohibited a strike expired
Thursday night, saying their 2,300 mem-
bers would stay on the job at least through
the weekend. Talks continued into the night
Friday and were expected to last well into
the weekend.
If no deal is reached by midnight Sunday,
the unions have promised to strike on
Monday for the second time in three
months, leaving 400,000 riders on the
nations fth-largest rail system stranded.
I would say its a very good possibility.
Again, we dont know whats going to hap-
pen, ATU president Antonette Bryant said
Friday. None of us want to strike. The big-
ger deal is that we want a deal and we think
theres a deal to be made.
The unions said BART General Manager
Grace Crunicans presence in talks late
Thursday and much of Friday made a differ-
ence they had repeatedly criticized her for
not being more involved.
The unions have been clear that they feel
that Grace would be helpful in the process,
BART spokesman Jim Allison said. Shes
been abreast of all of the developments on a
daily basis, hourly basis, sometimes.
Bryant said they want Crunican at the
table because shes the dealmaker. Shes
the one who can say yay, nay or whatever.
Assemblyman Bill Quirk, D-Hayward,
along with several other Bay Area state leg-
islators helped act as a facilitator to
Fridays talks.
BART links far-ung suburbs to bigger
Bay Area cities and provides a crucial link
between San Francisco and Oakland riders.
BARTworkers went on strike for 4 1/2 days
in July, leading to crowded buses, jammed
bridges and forcing trafc to a crawl before
Gov. Jerry Brown mandated the cooling-off
period.
Monterey County computer hacked
SALINAS Ofcials in Monterey County
say computer hackers may have obtained the
personal information of tens of thousands of
county residents.
The Monterey County Herald reports that a
county computer containing the names,
Social Security numbers, addresses and dates
of birth of more than 144,000 people was
hacked in March.
The information on le was from people
who received CalFresh, MediCal, CalWorks
and Foster Care payments through the coun-
ty between 2002 and 2009.
County Department of Social Services
Director Elliot Robinson said the computers
network connection was severed after the
security breach. Ofcials could not determine
whether the hackers accessed or retrieved
personal information, but they began send-
ing letters out this week informing those
whose information was on the computer.
Man pleads not
guilty in terrorism case
SANTAANA, A Muslim convert who
had been licensed to work as a security guard
pleaded not guilty Friday to charges of
attempting to join al-Qaida and lying on a
U.S. passport application to aid internation-
al terrorism.
Sinh Vinh Ngo Nguyen, 24, of Garden
Grove, was arrested earlier in the day in Santa
Ana while waiting to board a bus to Mexico,
the FBI said.
Nguyen, a U.S. citizen, was ordered
detained on the grounds of danger and risk of
ight during a brief federal court appearance
in Orange County.
He had long hair, a beard, mustache and
wore glasses. His muscular arms were cuffed
and shackled to his waist.
Bay Area transit agency, unions resume talks

WASHINGTON With time run-
ning short, President Barack
Obama and congressional
Republicans accelerated efforts
Friday to prevent the U.S. Treasury
from default and end a partial gov-
ernment shutdown that stretched
into an 11th day. The latest
impacts: New aircraft grounded,
military chaplains silenced and a
crab harvest jeopardized in the
Bering Sea.
Lets put this hysterical talk of
default behind us and instead start
talking about nding solutions,
said Senate Republican leader
Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
Republicans in the House and
Senate separately made proposals
to the White House for ending an
impasse that polls say has inicted
damage on their party politically.
Each offered to reopen the gov-
ernment and raise the $16.7 tril-
lion debt limit but only as part
of broader approaches that envi-
sion decit savings, changes to
the health care law known as
Obamacare and an easing of across-
the-board spending cuts that the
White House and Congress both
dislike. The details and timing dif-
fered.
Were waiting to hear from
administration officials, said
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.
But as the day wore on, the White
House politely turned the proposal
aside in favor of talks around a
more streamlined approach under
discussion in the Senate.
Hopes remained high on Wall
Street, where investors sent the
Dow Jones industrial average 111
points higher following
Thursdays 323-point surge.
Obama met at the White House
with small business owners about
the impacts they were feeling from
the budget battles, and said he
hoped to be able to bring them
toward a conclusion, said Det
Ansinn, who attended the session.
He was a little slightly melan-
choly that maybe it could be done
over the weekend and maybe not.
Hes been down this road before,
said Ansinn, owner of
Doylestown, Pa.-based mobile and
Web app developer Brick Simple.
Ansinn said he told the president
how the shutdown is threating to
delay some of his projects and he
fears what a possible impending
government default could do to the
economy.
In meetings with lawmakers over
two days, Obama left open the pos-
sibility he would sign legislation
repealing a medical device tax
enacted as part of the health care
law. Yet there was no indication he
was willing to do so with a default
looming and the government par-
tially closed.
Accelerated efforts, no
agreement on shutdown
By Alicia Caldwell
WASHINGTON The partial
government shutdown has left
high-skilled immigrant workers
and the companies that employ
them in limbo.
The Labor Departments Ofce
of Foreign Labor Certication is
closed and applications for job
changes, new hires or any other
adjustments for foreign workers
are on hold until the government
reopens.
Laura Foote Reiff, a Northern
Virginia immigration attorney,
said while the Labor Department
remains closed any business in the
process of hiring foreign workers
who already have a valid visa may
also be missing various filing
deadlines, which could force com-
panies to start the complicated
hiring process over again.
It can be costly and time con-
suming, Reiff said.
The Labor Department said
Friday that it could not answer
questions about the issue because
the shutdown had closed the Ofce
of Foreign Labor Certication.
Reiff said government contrac-
tors whose projects are on hold
during the shutdown face a dilem-
ma: to furlough or fire foreign
workers.
Because of the conditions on the
high-skilled visas, even fur-
loughed foreign workers have to
be paid. If a company decides to
re the worker, that rm is then
faced with starting the arduous hir-
ing process over again.
And for the foreign worker, tak-
ing a temporary unpaid furlough or
losing the job altogether means
they are violating the terms of the
visa, which could cause problems
in the future if they try to renew a
visa or change immigration sta-
tus. There is no grace period for
immigrant workers to be unem-
ployed and they could face depor-
tation or be denied visa exten-
sions.
Shutdown puts businesses, foreign workers in limbo
By Michelle L. Price
SALTLAKE CITY The Obama
administrations willingness to
reopen national parks shuttered by
the government shutdown came
with a big caveat: States must foot
the bill with money they likely
wont see again.
So far, Utah, Colorado, South
Dakota, Arizona and New York have
jumped at the deal. Governors in
other states were trying to gauge
Friday what would be the bigger
economic hit paying to keep the
parks operating or losing the
tourist money that ows when the
scenic attractions are open.
South Dakota and several corpo-
rate donors worked out a deal with
the National Park Service to reopen
Mount Rushmore beginning
Monday. Gov. Dennis Daugaard
said it will cost $15,200 a day to
pay the federal government to run
the landmark in the Black Hills.
He said he wired four days worth
of the donations on Friday.
In New York, Gov. Andrew
Cuomo said the state will pay
$61,600 a day to fully fund Park
Service personnel and keep the
Statue of Liberty open. Arizona
ofcials said a deal reached Friday
will mean visitors should be able to
return to Grand Canyon National
Park on Saturday.
In Utah, federal workers rushed to
reopen ve national parks for 10
days after the state sent $1.67 mil-
lion to the U.S. government with
the hope of saving its lucrative
tourist season.
Zion National Park superintend-
ent Jock Whitworth said staff mem-
bers began opening gates and
removing barriers and expected to
have the park fully operational
Saturday.

parks; others eye options

Utah will reopen its national parks and monuments under a deal with the
U.S. Department of the Interior, which closed the sites and other parks
across the country as part of the partial federal government shutdown
that began on Oct. 1.

KABUL, Afghanistan The future of
U.S. involvement in Afghanistan after the
last troops leave at the end of 2014 may
depend on whether U.S. officials like
Secretary of State John Kerry can allay
Afghan President Hamid Karzais worries
about sovereignty, Pakistan and the safety
of Afghan citizens at the hands of Western
troops.
Kerry began urgent talks Friday with
Karzai as an end-of-October deadline
loomed for a security deal that would allow
American troops to remain in Afghanistan
after the NATO-led military mission ends
next year.
Kerrys unannounced visit to Kabul
comes as talks on the bilateral security
agreement have foundered over issues of
Afghan sovereignty despite a year of nego-
tiations.
Discussions have stalled over Karzais
demand for American guarantees against
future foreign intervention from countries
like Pakistan and U.S. demands for any
post-2014 residual force to be able to con-
duct counterterrorism and counterinsur-
gency operations.
U.S. ofcials insist they are optimistic
about a deal, but the continuing deadlock
leaves it doubtful that any agreement will
be reached by the deadline. If no deal is
signed, there will be no U.S. forces in
Afghanistan after 2014.
They said uncertainty caused by the lack
of a signed agreement by the deadline would
make it more difcult to plan the next phas-
es of withdrawal from Afghanistan and
could erode the resolve of NATO allies that
are considering leaving troops there for
training.
Without the United States on board, it is
unlikely that NATO or any of its allies
would keep troops in Afghanistan.
Germany has already indicated it will not
commit the 800 soldiers it has promised.
Kerry in Afghanistan for urgent security talks
By Patrick Condon
ST. PAUL, Minn. After more than a
week in action, is a key feature of President
Barack Obamas health care overhaul a suc-
cess or a bust? Judging by the dearth of data,
its virtually impossible to say.
The federal government has released no
comprehensive data on how many people
have enrolled for health insurance using
federally run exchanges, the online market-
places being used in 36 states for residents
to compare and buy insurance. In the 14
states running their own exchanges, the sit-
uation isnt much better.
Ofcials with Californias exchange say
it will be mid-November until they can say
how many people signed up. In Oregon and
Colorado, the ofcial number of completed
applications is zero. And in Minnesota,
which billed itself as a leader in implement-
ing the Affordable Care Act, ofcials wont
release data until next week about the num-
ber of applications started and completed.
As a result, a nation obsessed with keep-
ing score to determine winners and losers is
nding it difcult to pass immediate judg-
ment on a law that will in large part dene
the presidents legacy.
Obamacare has a lot of cynics in this
country, and it needs to get off to a better
start than what we see so far if its going to
be a success, said Bob Laszewski, a
Washington, D.C.-based health care indus-
try consultant.
Laszewski suspects the lack of data con-
ceals an extremely slow start thanks to
widely reported technical problems.
MNsure, Minnesotas online insurance
marketplace, reported more than 10,000
accounts had been initiated as of Thursday,
said April Todd-Malmlov, the exchanges
director. But enrollment gures wont be
available until Wednesday. She said some
users inadvertently submitted multiple
applications that need to be consolidated.
Similar problems abound. Many states
running their own exchanges havent
released initial enrollment data, and only a
handful are providing a detailed picture of
applicants and the plans they are choos-
ing.
Oregon, another state that embraced the
law, hasnt even opened enrollment because
its software cant determine eligibility for
Medicaid or for tax credits that help pay for
insurance. Vermonts system is so buggy
that officials are issuing paper applica-
tions, even though the thinly populated
state received $171 million among the
largest amounts in federal grants to run
its exchange and upgrade technology.
Obamacare a success so far? Its hard to say

OPINION 9
Concerns with Measure P
Editor,
I am writing as a concerned parent
of three children in the San Mateo-
Foster City Elementary School
District. I have been in various parent
leadership positions over our 10
years in the district. I am very con-
cerned that Measure P was conceived
without a voice representing the
needs of San Mateo school kids and
without consideration for any sem-
blance of a longer-term plan for our
elementary and middle schools. This
is obvious, given the sad and acrimo-
nious dissent between our two lovely
towns that has developed over this
divisive measure.
I strongly hope San Mateo resi-
dents will vote no on this measure to
allow our area to consider a more
thoughtful approach to a bond meas-
ure, bring neighbors back together
and nd a solution that makes every-
one happy.
I am specically concerned with the
allocation of funds to Knolls
Elementary School without a long-
term plan, the fact that anticipated
middle school overcrowding in San
Mateo is totally overlooked and the
allocation of dollars to hand-held
computers for very young children to
use. This is particularly alarming to
me because the district would be
obliged to replace lost or stolen
hand-held computers, further burden-
ing other funds. I would support infra-
structure expenditures that took into
consideration the long-term needs of
our whole district. That would have to
happen by going back to the drawing
board with a broader committee where
Foster City and San Mateo residents
can work together with an eye to the
future of our school district.
I hope other San Mateo residents
will read about and vote on this meas-
ure. I will be voting no. Many thanks
for your time.

No on Measure R
Editor,
Belmont and Redwood Shores citi-
zens need to think hard about the
local parcel tax Measure R on this
Nov. 5 ballot.
If passed, it will extend and
increase the existing parcel taxes
over the next decade by $174 per
year, bringing in close to $2 million
per year. Homeowners across
California have been hit with an
increasing number of these special
taxes that seem to accrue to districts
in perpetuity. California districts are
poorly managed; recently the San
Mateo County Mosquito and Vector
Control District was the victim of
embezzled funds. The recent school
district construction bond has run a
$4 million decit. The school district
is trying to railroad taxpayers with
this measure without providing a cer-
tied budget to justify need or how
funds will be utilized.
Supporters choose to leave out the
most important facts. You already pay
hundreds per year on parcel taxes on
top of property tax. Californians
already pay among the highest
income taxes, property taxes and
state sales taxes in the nation, and for
what? Revenue to the school district
has been increasing; through reallo-
cation of property taxes, the district
received more than a $1 million. We
also just passed Proposition 30,
which brings a lot more money into
the district.
Stop subsidizing the failures of
local government. Reject this meas-
ure and put a stop to the unfair parcel
tax. Vote no on Measure R and send a
message for transparency and respon-
sible budgeting.

Belmont
No on Measure P in
Foster City and San Mateo
Editor,
I am concerned to hear that the
Measure P proposal in San Mateo and
Foster City would completely rebuild
Bowditch Middle School and expand
the school to include fth graders.
Why would anyone want fifth
graders exposed to the drama of middle
school at such a young age and in such
a large middle school? Elementary
school is about learning how to love
learning in a cozy, age appropriate and
comfortable environment. I also do
not understand why Bowditch Middle
School in Foster City would be rebuilt
from the ground up by taxing home-
owners in both Foster City and San
Mateo when the three middle schools
in San Mateo are much older than
Bowditch. There is still $70 million
left from Measure L (passed in 2008)
that will increase our tax bills over
time as bonds are issued. Our school
district needs to use voter approved
funds from Measure L wisely before
they ask to increase debt capacity
again and add still more to my already
large tax bill. I am going to vote no
on bond Measure P.

Letters to the editor
Star-Ledger, New Jersey, N.J.
T
he worlds largest telecommu-
nications company has
launched a massive public
service campaign to tell people not to
use its own products not behind the
wheel, anyway.
And somehow, it feels less self-
serving than a cigarette company
warning about the dangers of smok-
ing, a liquor company telling you not
to drink and drive or a Bushmaster
manufacturer preaching about gun
safety.
After all, this isnt an inherently
dangerous product. This is about a
total misuse of phones, a relatively
new phenomenon. Adecade ago, who
envisioned sending a text message at
70 mph on the Garden State Parkway?
Randall Stephenson, AT&Ts chair-
man and chief executive, said in an
interview a few years ago that some-
one close to him caused an accident
while texting. The smartphone is a
product we sell and its being used
inappropriately, he told the New
York Times.
And to make that clear, his compa-
ny has enlisted the aid of its ercest
rivals, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon,
which together have spent millions
on co-branded ads and public events
since 2010, to warn against texting
while driving.
AT&T even got the legendary
German lmmaker Werner Herzog to
direct a series of short lms on the
dangers. As a result, the number of
people who had sworn off texting and
driving has risen from 2.5 million to
more than 3 million nationwide.
Many did so after hearing the publi-
cized stories of accident victims who
were texting such as a young
woman trapped screaming inside her
burning car for 23 minutes, in a har-
rowing video recorded on a police
cruisers dash cam.
AT&T takes the lead on texting
Republicans in Anaheim
By John McDowell
L
ast weekend something extraordinary happened in
Anaheim. More than a thousand California
Republicans gathered in a dynamic, exciting con-
vention to celebrate a year of positive news. For the
California GOP, this kind of excitement and energy is
something that we havent seen in a while.
Its no secret that over the last couple of years the state
party conventions have been staid affairs. But things were
different last weekend. People couldnt stop talking about
the positive momentum of the party or
the dynamic speakers they heard.
The inuence of the new leadership
of the California Republican Party,
including Vice Chair Harmeet Dhillon,
of San Francisco, was on full display.
In under a year, the new team has hus-
tled to raise money and obliterate a $1
million debt. At the same time, the
party was able to bring resources to
bear in the stunning victory of Andy
Vidak in a July California Senate special election in
Fresno this in a district with a 20 percent Democrat
registration advantage.
Top that off with the reopening of the partys
Sacramento ofce and things are clearly looking up. They
are going so well that the Republican National Committee
has, for the rst time in years, directed resources toward
California with the hiring of several eld directors who
are working full time in the Asian and Hispanic communi-
ties.
One person who seemed to be everywhere at once during
the weekend was former San Mateo County supervisor
Ruben Barrales. He now heads GROWElect, an organiza-
tion dedicated to electing Latino Republicans at all levels
of ofce. Barrales energy has driven GROWElect to have
had great success in its short history helping elect
more than 30 Republicans to local ofce in the last 18
months.
The speakers were fantastic, especially Texas Gov. Rick
Perry. Gov. Perry brought the message of economic
growth and dynamic opportunity to our moribund state.
Here in the Bay Area, its easy to forget that vast swaths
of our state are mired in recession. Our unemployment rate
hovers at a disappointing and depressing 9 percent while
some counties it is as high as 26 percent. Gov. Perry has
the antidote.
Texas pro-growth policies have meant that Texans have
jobs while Californians dont. Texas had a higher overall
net addition of jobs than California between 2006 and
2012. California had a net loss of 359,000 jobs while
Texas, even with the Great Recession, had a net gain of
1,030,000. Not only that, but the growth in the real
Gross Domestic Product of Texas outpaced California dur-
ing that period.
Not only are more Californians out of work compared to
Texans, theyve grown relatively poorer as well.
California would do well to adopt the kind of policies that
have led to jobs and growth for Texas, rather the high
taxes and regulatory burdens that have led to misery
across much of our state.
The excitement and energy so visible in Anaheim is
growing here in San Mateo County too. Throughout our
county registered Republicans are running for school
boards, special districts and city councils. We havent
seen this many Republicans run for ofce in a long time.
Moreover, the San Mateo County GOP has seen a revival
in its donor base, which means we have more resources for
candidate recruitment, training, and volunteer deploy-
ment.
Engaged Republican tech leaders are coming from San
Mateo County as well. The new RNC chief technology
ofcer, Andy Barkett a 33-year-old former Facebook
and Google engineer is from Redwood City. And, Aaron
Ginn of San Mateo, a 25-year-old techie with
StumbleUpon, was elected to the state partys Executive
Committee this weekend.
On Sunday, the California Republican Party announced
the San Mateo County Republican Party would host the
next convention in March at the Burlingame Hyatt.
I could go on and on about the great things happening
with California and San Mateo County Republicans. Even
so, I know we still have a lot of work to do. Nonetheless,
there was a lot of positive energy, excitement and accom-
plishment to celebrate at the state convention.
John McDowell is a member of the San Mateo County
Republican Central Committee and a longtime resident of
San Mateo County. He has also worked on Capitol Hill, in
state legislatures, and in city government across the United
States.

Wells Fargos profit up 13 percent; revenue slips
Third-quarter prot for Wells Fargo & Co., the biggest
U.S. mortgage lender, jumped 13 percent as a decline in rev-
enue from mortgage lending was offset by reduced expenses
and fewer soured loans.
Net income increased to $5.6 billion in the July-
September period from $4.9 billion a year earlier. On a per-
share basis, earnings were 99 cents, beating the 97 cents
forecast by Wall Street.
Third-quarter revenue dipped to $20.5 billion from $21.2
billion, coming in below the analysts forecast of $21.1
billion. The banks stock edged down 1 cent to close at
$41.40.
Interest rates on U.S. mortgages rose sharply in the
spring and summer. That had a negative impact on Wells
Fargos mortgage business.
The San Francisco-based bank controls nearly a third of
the U.S. mortgage market. Much of its lending business has
been coming from mortgage renancing, which was reduced
by the spike in interest rates.
Wells Fargo funded $80 billion worth of mortgages in the
third quarter, down from $139 billion a year earlier.
Fewer bad loans in an improving housing market cut
Wells Fargos lending losses to $975 million from $2.4 bil-
lion in the third quarter of 2012.
The bank reduced expenses to $12.1 billion, down $153
million from the second quarter. The savings were mainly
due to reduced employee bonuses and legal costs.
The bank had said back in July that higher interest rates
would impact its mortgage business. Now, Wells Fargo says
it will be in a strong position with its variety of businesses
to weather the economys move to higher interest rates.
Strong revenue growth is coming from credit cards, person-
al credit management and retirement services, the bank
says.
Wells Fargo is the fourth-largest U.S. bank by assets. It
became more diversied when it took over the teetering
Wachovia in the depths of the nancial crisis in 2008.

The closer Washington gets to a deal
over the debt ceiling, the higher
stocks go.
Stock prices rose for a second day in
a row on Friday as investors bet
against a U.S. debt default. The Dow
Jones industrial average rose 111
points Friday, bringing its two-day
gain to 434. Its jump on Thursday was
the biggest this year.
Call it the Sigh of Relief Rally.
A partial government shutdown
pushed the Dow below 15,000 this
week before President Barack Obama
and House Republicans met on
Thursday to talk about the outlines for
a possible deal. Obama and Republican
senators met on Friday, too.
Stocks set new highs in mid-
September but declined steadily since
then as the federal government got
closer to the partial shutdown that
began Oct. 1. That shutdown entered
its 11th day on Friday.
Even more troubling for investors is
the expectation that the government
will reach its borrowing limit on Oct.
17, which raises the possibility of a
default on government borrowing.
U.S. government bonds are usually
considered the worlds safest invest-
ment, so even the possibility of a
default has rattled investors.
Its nice when the world does not
revolve around politicians making
decisions for Wall Street, said Ralph
Fogel, investment strategist and part-
ner at Fogel Neale Partners in New
York.
The Dow rose 111.04 points, or 0.7
percent, to close at 15,237.11. The
Standard & Poors 500 index rose
10.64 points, or 0.6 percent, to
1, 703. 20. The Nasdaq rose 31.13
points, or 0.8 percent, to 3,791.87.
Kim Forrest, an equity research ana-
lyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group in
Pittsburgh, said its too soon to
assume that the meetings in
Washington will avert a default.
Thats super that theyre talking to
each other, but what on Earth is the
agreement going to look like, and is it
going to stave off default? I dont
think we know that yet, Forrest said.
I think the stock market is getting
ahead of itself.

nology companies.

You can opt out of sharing your

The Mountain View, company
already had a similar setting for its
+1 button, which it introduced in
2011. It had experimented temporarily
with putting +1 endorsements with
users identities in ads, but it hasnt
had them up recently. The company
said Friday that the choice a user made
about allowing for +1 endorsements
would be the default setting for shared

Also, if a user chooses to limit an
endorsement to certain circles of
friends or contacts, that restriction
will be respected in any ads that use the
endorsement.
Googles move follows a similar
proposal by Facebook. The social net-
work in August said it would show

products they clicked to like. That
proposal was criticized by privacy
groups. They asked the Federal Trade
Commission to look into the matter,
which the agency said it did as part of
routine monitoring of privacy prac-
tices.

LOS ANGELES While Toyota
Motor Corp. still faces a bundle of law-
suits claiming that defective electron-
ics caused some of its cars to accelerate
uncontrollably, often with tragic
results, another courtroom victory has
given the automaker momentum head-
ing into those other cases.
Jurors deliberated for about ve days
in Los Angeles before concluding
Thursday that the automaker was not
liable for the death of Noriko Uno. The
66-year-old was killed in 2009 when
her 2006 Toyota Camry was struck by
another car, then continued on a har-
rowing ride until it slammed into a
telephone pole and tree.
Toyotas lawyers said the sedans
design was not to blame and Uno like-
ly mistook the gas pedal for the brake.
Jurors cleared the Japanese automaker
but decided that the other driver, who
ran a stop sign, should pay Unos fam-
ily $10 million.
The Uno case was one of hundreds of
unintended acceleration lawsuits
still pending in federal and state courts
against Toyota. It is the rst bell-
wether case in state courts, chosen by
a judge to help predict the potential
outcome of other lawsuits making sim-
ilar claims.

The San Mateo Fire Department provided
the reworks before Friday nights home-
coming game at Serra High School.
And the Padres brought the repower dur-
ing.
Even with Sacred Heart Cathedral getting
on the board rst following a 30-yard eld
goal with seven minutes
and change left in the rst
quarter, there was zero
doubt Serra (2-0 WCAL,
4-1 overall) would even-
tually come around to
dominate. That eld goal
was aided by the two
Padre fumbles on back-to-back punts by the
Irish the latter giving them the ball on
the Serra 15-yard line.
But from there, it took two plays and 34
seconds for the Padres to respond and the
answer was loud and thunderous with Serra
coming away with a 50-3 victory.
These guys love football, said Serra
head coach Patrick Walsh. All across the
board. I really believe this team really
enjoyed playing the game of football. They
look at the opportunity to play the game
with joy in their hearts and love for their
brothers. I think youve seen that in the
rst ve games weve played this year and
hopefully we can keep up that pace.
Its quite the pace Serra was up 34-3 at
halftime and had already racked up 312 yards
of total offense and he rest of the game was

SAN FRANCISCO The San Francisco
49ers usually have a nice familiarity with
their NFC West foes. Not with these
Cardinals, because so much has changed in
Arizona.
Coach Jim Harbaugh and his San
Francisco coaching staff are doing more
studying leading up to
Sundays game at
Candlestick Park. Theres
new coach Bruce Arians,
new quarterback Carson
Palmer, and an upgraded,
swarming defense that is
winning games much
like the Niners vaunted
unit.
Theres also familiar
faces who have put up
plenty of big numbers and stats against San
Francisco: Larry Fitzgerald, Michael Floyd,
Patrick Peterson, Daryl Washington.
Quite a bits new, Harbaugh said. New
coaching staff, new players. Quite a few
guys that are staples on their team. But
theyve added a mix of quite a few good play-
ers and its really a new team in that regard
and theyre playing very well.
Arians typically talks to close friend and
Colts coach Chuck Pagano every Friday,
and now he can pick Paganos brain on what
worked for Indianapolis in a 27-7 win at San
Francisco.
We have to play them in a few weeks, I
dont think hes going to tell me too much,
Arians said with a chuckle.
Here are four things to watch when
Arizona plays San Francisco, both at 3-2:

When two evenly matched football teams
square off, the game usually boils down to a
battle of wills which team wants it more.
That was the scenario Friday afternoon in
Millbrae where Mills hosted El Camino in
the Peninsula Athletic League Lake
Division opener for both squads.
Defenses ruled in this one, but in the end,
the Mills offense made a couple more plays
than El Camino did, pulling out a hard-
fought 14-6 victory.
Fantastic, was how Mills coach Mike
Krieger described his teams performance.
We made plays when we had to.
After a scoreless rst half during which
both teams combined for 179 yards, Mills
(1-0 PALLake, 4-1 overall) took the second-
half kickoff 64 yards to take a 7-0 lead.
El Camino scored its lone touchdown
early in the fourth quarter when quarterback
Michael Keegan plowed in from a yard out,
but defensive pressure from the Vikings
right up the middle forced the Colts to miss
the extra point and Mills clung to a 7-6 lead.
The Vikings scored on their ensuing drive
to take a 14-6 lead and then the Mills

Another week, another blowout win for the
Burlingame football team.
The casual observer may see Friday nights
58-0 win over visiting Kings Academy and
assume the Panthers must be ring on all
cylinder.
Big wins like the Panthers have experienced
this season can gloss over mistakes and areas
on which the team needs to work and
Burlingame coach John Philipopoulos is
keenly aware of that.
Its hard to be mad winning 58-zero,
Philipopoulos said. But there are a lot of
things we have to work on. We werent doing
the job up front (offensively Friday night).
It may see like the coach is nitpicking, con-
sidering Burlingame (5-0 overall) racked up
284 yards rushing and 344 yards of total
offense. But take away three big runs that
accounted for 133 of those rushing yards and
suddenly its not as impressive.
Philipopoulos admitted its hard for both the
coaching staff and the team to stay focused on
the task at hand when they are averaging 50
points per game this is the third week in a
row the Panthers have eclipsed the 50-point
mark.
It has been a challenge, Philipopoulos
said. Most our plays on offense (Friday) were
either big plays or on a short eld. But when
had to start at our 20 or 30 and put a drive
together, we couldnt do it.
Despite all these perceived woes, however,
the Burlingame offense did manage to score
six touchdowns on offense. The Panthers took
a 7-0 lead less than three minutes into the
game with quarterback Avery Gindraux hook-
ing up with Keone Keahi for a 12-yard scoring
pass.
A Gindraux 1-yard run put the Panthers up
23-0 ve seconds into the second quarter and
less than three minutes later, Manase Palu
ripped off a 47-yard scoring scamper for a 30-
0 Burlingame lead. He later added a 38-yard
scoring run to put the Panthers up 51-0 at half-
time.
Palu nished with 102 yards rushing and
two scores on just nine carries.
Philipopoulos called off the dogs in the sec-
ond half but not before Grifn Intrieri scored
on a 10-yard run to account for the only score
in the second half.
While Philipopoulos may have some con-
cerns about his offense, hes much more com-
fortable with the Panthersdefense and special
teams, which is where they really left their
mark Friday. Not only did the Burlingame
defense hold Kings Academy to just 118 yards
of offense, the Panthers also forced ve
Knights turnovers, turning a Robby
Baumgarten interception into a 10-yard
touchdown.
Baumgarten had two picks on the night.
They also recorded ve sacks, two from Sam
Buckingham, the rst of which resulted in a
safety.
Defensively weve been playing real
well, Philipopoulos said.
Fridays win was the third shutout of the sea-
son for the Panthers.
The Burlingame special teams even got into
the act, with Baumgarten returning Kings
Academys kickoff following the safety for a
64-yard kickoff return, to cap a nine-point
spree over 12 seconds.
Normally, a coach wouldnt be too con-
cerned about his team coming off a non-league
schedule like the Panthers have, but
Philipopoulos knows next week is his teams
rst real test of the season a road game
against Aragon to open their Peninsula
Athletic League Ocean Division schedule.
Our starters havent played a four-quarter
game. In ve games, our starters have played,
maybe, 10, 11 quarters, Philipopoulos said.
The biggest concern is (playing against)
big, heavy teams. Next Friday is the real deal.
Next Friday we nd out what kind of team
Burlingame is.
Football
Aragon prepped for its showdown with
Burlingame next week by blasting
Capuchino 41-10 in its Ocean Division
opener Friday.
Running back Keith Samujh led the Dons
attack with three touchdowns, while full-
back Patrick Pauni added a score as well.
Quarterback Nat Blood hooked up with
Chad Franquez for a touchdown also.
Aragon improves to 4-1 overall, while
Capuchino falls to 1-4.
In other PAL action, Terra Nova handed
Sequoia its second straight loss, a 26-17
decision in the Bay Division openers for
both squads. The Tigers led 19-3 at one
point before the Cherokees came back,
eventually cutting their decit to 19-17.
But Terra Nova maintained its lead and added
a touchdown for the nal margi n.
Terra Nova improves to 5-0 on the sea-
son, while Sequoia drops to 0-2.
Menlo-Atherton also opened league play
with a win, pulling away from South City
for a 31-19 victory.
The Warriors actually led at halftime, 13-
12, but the Bears outscored them 19-6 in the
second half.
Menlo-Atherton won its fourth game in a
row to raise its mark to 4-1 overall this sea-
son, while South City lost its third in a row
and fell to 2-3.

Hillsdale starts Lake schedule with win
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Sometimes, its events that happen out-
side the white lines that can make a big dif-
ference in a football game.
And sure, Fridays score between Hillsdale
and Carlmont will read 34-14 in favor of the
Knights in what is a three-touchdown
advantage.
But the big play in this, the Peninsula
Athletic League Lake Division opener for
both teams, can be traced back to the third
quarter when a Carlmont 51-yard touchdown
pass was negated by a sideline interference
penalty that would have tied the score at 21-
21. It was a play that should have been
Carlmonts second big play touchdown of
the half. But instead, the Scots gained 70
yards the rest of the game while the Knights
racked up a total of 540.
Who knows exactly what would have hap-
pened had the touchdown stood, perhaps
things would have transpired the same way,
but no doubt the play (or no play) swung
things in Hillsdales favor and the Knights
took advantage.
We lose our momentum and then things
happens and we have to be able to bounce
back from those, said Carlmont head coach
Marcus Farhad. As a team, I dont know if it
deated us completely. But it took a little
bit of wind out of our sails. It was a big play,
we had a lot of energy, we scored and got
excited. It happens.
What happened the entire game was a
whole lot of Giancarlo Boscacci. The run-
ning back had a monster game, rushing for
253 yards on 26 carries and three touch-
downs.
He played his butt of, said Hillsdale
head coach Mike Parodi. Hes running
hard. All our back are really running hard
right now and Im really excited about that.
Parodi has to be excited with the way his
defense executed especially in that sec-
ond half. With the exception of a 90-yard
touchdown run by Yancey Portis on the rst
play from scrimmage by Carlmont,
Hillsdale pretty much shut down the Scots
the entire game. In that rst half, when the
Knights went into recess up 14-7, Hillsdale
outgained the Scots 332 to 97 having
only run three more offensive plays from
scrimmage. In the second half, if you sub-
tract Portis run, that yardage shrunk to 47.
We played the way we should have been
playing all along, Parodi said. Early on,
we had those turnovers and did some things
Im not OK with and were going to x.
When we played our caliber of football, we
played well and I was very happy with the
way we played.
Carlmont capitalized on Hillsdale second
fumble by turning it into the equalizing
score courtesy of Portis and a 28-yard screen
turned touchdown.
Hillsdale came back and retook the lead
with Brandon Butcher catching a Cole
Carrithers pass with 1:02 left in the half to
make it 14-7. Carrithers was sharp in the
rst half. He passed for 124 yards, complet-
ing 8 of 13 attempts.
Still, Carlmont felt pretty good to only
be down seven heading into halftime.
We had good energy, Farhad said. DJ
(Diariea James), it was his rst game back
so the team just rallied behind him. We
stepped up but we have to capitalize on the
turnovers we get. We just got banged up and
worn out. They took it to us. We have to be
a little more discipline and stay in our gaps.
We go back to work and were going to get
better.
That energy rose with Portis big run and
sank just as quickly following the penalty
that would have made it 21-21 after John
Parans TD catch gave Hillsdale a lead.
After the yellow flag, Hillsdale really
clamped down and Boscacci punished the
Carlmont defense adding touchdown runs
of 88 and 33 yards.
Our defense is underrated, Parodi said. I
hope people keep thinking [we are just
about offense] because our defense is pretty
darn good. Ive been very happy with our
defensive performance all year long.
Were trying to win ve league games
one at time. Were 1-0 right now. Tomorrow
morning (Saturday) were 0-0 again. Thats
the mentality weve spoke about since
spring, since January. Everyone has bought
in. Thats how we roll. Each week is a one-
week championship.
By Pat Graham
SALT LAKE CITY Stanford plays a
mean defense whether its against explosive
offenses or accusations from rival coaches.
All week long, Cardinal coach David
Shaw defended the integrity of his program
after Washingtons Steve Sarkisian asserted
Stanford faked injuries to slow down the
tempo late in a 31-28 win last weekend.
We dont fake injuries. We never have
and we never will, Shaw said. I dont con-
done it. I dont teach it. I dont allow it.
Now, its back to getting defensive on the
eld as the fth-ranked Cardinal (5-0, 3-0
Pac-12) play another high-octane offense
this weekend in the Utah Utes (3-2, 0-2), a
team averaging 39 points.
And while a game against No. 11 UCLAi s
looming next week, Stanford players insist
theyre not overlooking a gritty Utes squad.
They could be a lot better than their
record shows, linebacker A.J. Tarpley said.
So, were not taking this game lightly.
Much like it did with Keith Price last
weekend, Stanford will focus on containing
Utah quarterback Travis Wilson, whos over
his illness and ill-advised passes from
a week ago. Fighting a fever, Wilson threw
six interceptions against UCLA, including
one on the nal drive that sealed the Bruins
34-27 win.
Wilson and the Utes will try to bounce
back against a stout Stanford defense.
You still say, There were six intercep-
tions, which is a huge negative, but it was
not all on Travis, Utah coach Kyle
Whittingham said on the teams website.
In fact, very few were on Travis.
What Shaw sees on tape is not an inter-
ception-prone quarterback, but a QB prone
to making big plays. The 6-foot-7 Wilson
accounts for 331 yards of offense a game for
the Utes, one of the top marks in the coun-
try.
Its about containing and making sure
that we keep guys on all sides of him and
squeeze him, because you cant let him
scramble for the rst down, Shaw said.
Here are some things to watch as Stanford
goes for its 14th straight win, while Utah
attempts to beat a ranked league opponent
for the rst time since joining the Pac-12 in
2011:
POISED HOGAN: Sometimes, Shaw
forgets quarterback Kevin Hogan is still
young and learning. These days, big things
are just expected out of Hogan, who is 10-0
as a starter.

ST. LOUIS Carlos Beltran capped his
latest scintillating postseason perform-
ance with an RBI single in the 13th inning
early Saturday that lifted the St. Louis
Cardinals over the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-
2 in the NL champi-
onship series opener.
Beltran hit a tying,
two-run double in the
third inning, then threw
out a runner at the plate
from right field in the
10th to keep it even.
Well past midnight at
Busch Stadium, Beltran
singled into the right-
field corner with one out against Kenley
Jansen in the 13th to end a game that took
4 hours, 47 minutes. It was the longest
postseason game for the Dodgers since the
1916 World Series.
Game 2 is Saturday afternoon.
Pinch-hitter Daniel Descalso singled
with one out in the 13th off rookie Chris
Withrow and Matt Carpenter walked.
Jansen, usually the Dodgers closer,
relieved and Beltran won it with his hit on
a 3-1 count.

ened his case for a possible Game 4 start
with two scoreless innings. Withrow took
the loss.
The Dodgers had two on in the ninth,
10th and 11th and came up empty. They
stranded 11 overall while going 1 for 10
with runners in scoring position. They
averaged 6 1-2 runs and batted .333, best
ever in an NL postseason series, while tak-
ing a four-game division series from the
Braves.
Neither team had much time to exhale
before the next game, scheduled to start 14
1-2 hours after Descalso crossed the plate.
It features a marquee pitching matchup
major league ERA leader Clayton Kershaw
vs. Cardinals rookie Michael Wacha,
whos flirted with no-hitters his last two
starts.
The Dodgers failed to capitalize on Zack
Greinkes season-high 10 strikeouts in
eight stingy innings because they could-
nt knock out Joe Kelly.
Stanford not overlooking Utes Cardinals beat Dodgers in 13
Carlos Beltran
selected him in the second round of the
2003 draft out of Florida State.
He became the fastest player to 500 catch-
es in his 80th game in December 2008, and
still holds an Arizona franchise record with
ve straight games with 100 yards receiv-
i ng.
Not that Boldin is becoming sentimental
about this weekends matchup. He won a
Super Bowl last season with the Baltimore
Ravens, beating his new team.
Boldin no longer has a home in Arizona,
with Florida his home base.
Its just another game for me. Its a divi-
sional game, Boldin said. Im four years
removed from Arizona, so its pretty much a
turnover. I barely know any of the guys
there, so its not a big deal for me.
PALMER RETURNS: Palmer spent
parts of the past two seasons in the Bay
Area with the Raiders before being traded to
his new home in the desert. He returns deter-
mined to get going after a slow start by
Arizonas offense. Palmer has thrown nine
interceptions with ve touchdowns for a
passer rating of 67.0.
And Palmer knows the challenge ahead
against an opportunistic, ball-hawking San
Francisco defense. Tramaine Brock had a
pick-6 and a second interception in last
weeks 34-3 rout of the Texans, and the
Niners also forced a fumble and frustrated
Matt Schaub all night.
NFC West games are NFC West games.
There is a rivalry to it, Palmer said. There
is nastiness to this division, especially
defensively.
TAKEAWAYS: The identity is back.
Ask anybody involved with San Franciscos
defense and that word comes up somehow.
The 49ers forced four turnovers against
Houston and converted each one into points
three touchdowns and a eld goal. San
Franciscos defense had four takeaways for
the rst time since producing two intercep-
tions and two fumble recoveries against
New England on Dec. 16 last year. The
49ers three interceptions were their most
since three on Dec. 19, 2011, against
Pittsburgh.
Arizona must take care of the ball.
I think all the great ones do, they live on
disruptive plays and taking the football
away, and theyre very, very good at it,
Arians said.

103-year-old farmhouse sells with Multiple Offers!
John King has been serving home sellers and buyers on The Peninsula and Silicon Valley for almost 30 years.
Top 1% of Keller Williams agents.
The market continues to stay UNbelievably hot and no end in sight! Even a
103-year-o|d larmhouse I |rsted so|d lor over askrng prrce wrth mu|trp|e ollers!
The neighborhood lore goes that the home was moved onto the site from the old
F|ood Estate rn Atherton to make way lor the Hetch Hetchy waterway. It was a
beautiful home, albeit nothing had been done in decades to the home in terms of
rmprovement. Even the heatrng system was just a wood stove rn the mrdd|e ol
the |rvrng room. The home had been srttrng on a post and prers wrthout a
concrete perimeter foundation all
these years, yet it came through the
Loma Prieta earthquake unscathed!
The funny story is that the sellers
hired me because they saw my "no
hair" ad, which has been running in
the paper and thought I had a good
sense ol humor. The se||ers le|t that
their 103-year farmhouse with a wood
stove for heat needed someone with a
sense ol humor. It turns out that thrs
was one of the most pleasant and
memorab|e sa|es I have ever had.
The sellers were the "salt" of the earth
kind of people and I am glad for such
a positive result.
By Dave Skretta
KANSAS CITY, Mo. The serious
expression beneath Andy Reids bushy
moustache nally started to curl up into a
smile when the history of the Chiefs and
Raiders was broached this week.
Theres nothing that gets an old coachs
res stoked like a good rivalry.
I get it. I understand it, Reid said.
These are special in the National Football
League, these types of rivalries that get
your juices owing and get them owing
early.
The black and silver, he added, if any-
body is wearing it, be careful.
Fair warning, especially with a group of
fans trying to set a record for loudest sports
stadium Sunday. They picked the Raiders to
try to hit the ear-splitting mark of 136.7
decibels set by Seahawks fans earlier this
year precisely because theyre such a heated
rivalry.
The Chiefs and Raiders have been playing
since the days of the old AFL, back when
Lamar Hunt and Al Davis were in the owner-
ship suites. The animosity hasnt dimmed
in recent years as Oakland (2-3) rattled off
six consecutive wins at Arrowhead Stadium.
Its a great environment to play football
in, a tough environ-
ment, Raiders coach
Dennis Allen said. But I
think our guys get excit-
ed about coming and
playing a division rival
in Kansas City, and
Raiders-Chiefs, how does
it get any better than
that?
The Raiders will be try-
ing to continue their road
dominance of Kansas City (5-0), which will
be trying to continue a dream start to Reids
tenure in charge.
They have the leagues best scoring
defense, theyve been efcient on offense
and theyve been opportunistic on special
teams. The result is that Kansas City has
become the rst franchise in NFL history to
win its rst ve games after winning two or
fewer the previous year.
Now, the Chiefs will try to get that
Raiders bugaboo off their back.
I just found out that we havent won at
home against Oakland since 2006, said
quarterback Alex Smith, traded to the Chiefs
in the offseason. Id like to get that
changed.

Zusi, Altidore lift U.S. to 2-0 victory over Jamaica
KANSAS CITY Graham Zusi and Jozy Altidore scored
second-half goals to give the United States a 2-0 victory
over Jamaica on Friday night and clinch rst place for the
Americans in their World Cup qualifying group for the third
straight cycle.
The sides had played to a stalemate through the rst 77
minutes before Alejandro Bedoya got the ball on the wing.
He crossed to Zusi, whose shot from about 12 yards beat
goalkeeper DuWayne Kerr and ignited his home-team crowd
of 18,467 decked out in red, white and blue.
16
defense made a nal stand on the Colts nal
drive of the game, ending El Caminos
chances when Mills cornerback Jaime
Alfaro sacked Keegan on fourth-and-long
with under 20 seconds to play.
All El Camino coach Mark Turner could do
was ponder what could have been.
Missed opportunities, Turner said. We
had a lot of opportunities in the rst half to
make plays. We didnt nish. We just did-
nt make enough plays. That team (Mills)
did what they were supposed to do.
Neither team could muster much offen-
sively in the rst two quarters. With Mills
focusing on El Camino running back
Brandon Gip and the Colts looking to shut
down Vikings runner Antonio Jeffrey, who
nished with just 42 yards on 17 carries,
both teams had to come up with a plan B
offensively.
While El Camino mainly stuck with Gip
and the ground game he nished with
112 yards on 29 carries Mills decided to
go to the air and it paid off. Vikings quar-
terback Marquis Adkins had one of the best
days of his varsity career as he completed 12
of 15 passes for 147 and a touchdown (along
with an interception). Adkins, a junior,
completed his rst 10 passes in a row before
El Caminos John Turner intercepted a pass
at the Colts 5-yard line.
Adkins also rushed ve times for 33 yards
and the Vikings other score.
[Adkins is] a rst-year quarterback, but
hes a supreme athlete, Krieger said. Hes
a dual threat, for sure.
Adkins was aided by the play of receiver
Josh Sved, who made several outstanding
catches. Sved nished with six catches for
92 yards and a score all in the second
half.
Sved caught four passes on the Vikings
rst drive of the third quarter, including a
four yarder for a touchdown and a 7-0 Mills
lead. His rst catch went for 18 yards and
then caught a 16 yarder on the next play,
absorbing a huge hit from the El Camino
defender. His third catch of the drive was
good for 18, as he came back to the quarter-
back and leaped in front of a surprised defen-
sive back to make a headlong grab.
Josh is a football player. Hes 100 per-
cent football and he leaves every ounce on
the eld, Krieger said. Hes the top one or
two players on our team for sure.
Sved also factored into the Vikings sec-
ond score of the game. On second-and-goal
from the El Camino 14-yard line, Adkins
dropped back to pass. With no one open and
the pocket collapsing, Adkins took off. He
got near the goal line and picked up a big
block from Sved which sprung Adkins into
the end zone to put Mills up 14-6 with 6:36
to play.
The Colts then embarked on a 18-play
drive, starting at their own 18 and driving
down to the Mills 14 before the Vikings
defense stiffened and ended El Caminos
chances on Alfaros sack.
We executed really well in the second
half, Krieger said.
That drive encapsulated the game El
Camino methodically driving down the
eld, but the Mills defense stiffening at the
right time. In the rst half, the Colts came
up empty on an 18-play drive and also failed
to convert after starting their nal drive of
the rst half at the Mills 31-yard line.
Mills had similar chances go by the board
as well. The Vikings appeared poised to
march down and score on their opening
drive of the game, moving from their 19 to
the El Camino 15 on just ve plays cou-
pled with a pair of personal foul penalties
on the Colts. But on rst down from the 15,
the Vikings fumbled the ball away to El
Camino.
They were driving again in the second
quarter and again fumbled the ball away in El
Camino territory.
I thought defensively we would be able to
hold them down, Turner said. I was sur-
prised we didnt play well offensively.

Warriors head to China
for exhibitions vs. Lakers
By Antonio Gonzalez
OAKLAND The Golden State Warriors
hopped a ight to China on Friday to begin
a week that will cover 15
times zones and more
than 12,000 miles.
A lot of coffee, caf-
feine and sleeping pills,
center Andrew Bogut
said.
The trip, part of the
NBAs Global Games,
will feature two games
against the Los Angeles
Lakers. Its also a break from the monotony
of training camp, a chance to build cama-
raderie and, of course, a step in promoting
the leagues brand.
The Warriors land in Beijing on Saturday
evening. After practicing Sunday, theyll
visit the Great Wall and a school. Theres a
reception and team dinner Monday followed
by the rst game with the Lakers the next
day.
The Warriors y to Shanghai immediately
after the game. Theyll meet with fans
Thursday and put on a clinic. Theyll play
the Lakers again Friday before returning
home Saturday.
Any time you can experience that and see
how someone else does things, how they
live, its a learning tool, Warriors coach
Mark Jackson said. Its a great experience
for us. I value it. And I think its going to be
important individually and collectively as a
team, especially for these younger guys.
Jackson said hes honored the Warriors
were chosen by the NBA as one of a dozen
teams to play internationally this year and
will make no excuses about the rigorous
travel schedule. The former point guard
never imagined hed have such an opportu-
nity growing up, so he isnt about to take
the trip for granted.
I can remember my dad saying when I was
a kid hed be ne staying in Brooklyn his
whole life, Jackson said. And then when
we moved to Queens and we moved to Long
Island he said, I cant believe I really
believed that. He got an opportunity to see
and experience things before he passed that
impacted his life and prepared him for the
future.
The NBA played its first international
game when Washington visited Maccabi Tel
Aviv in Israel in 1978, six years before
David Stern became commissioner. By the
time Stern leaves this season, the league
will have played nearly 150 of them, includ-
ing 18 during the regular season.
Perhaps no market holds greater value for
the NBAthan China, a country of more than
1.3 billion.
The Warriors, with a large Asian popula-
tion in the San Francisco Bay Area, are try-
ing to expand their marketing efforts this
week. The team launched a Chinese-lan-
guage website and an account on Weibo,
Chinas largest microblogging service.
Lakers star Kobe Bryant is among the
most popular players in China. While
Bryant wont play this week while rehab-
bing his torn Achilles tendon and right
knee, he still plans to make the trip.
Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson
and forward Harrison Barnes visited China
this summer to help promote the NBAs pre-
season games. Both saw rsthand how pop-
ular the NBA has become overseas and why
the league and its players are invest-
ing in the country. So they dont mind the
extra travel.
Andrew Bogut
Judge rejects San Jose
antitrust claims vs. MLB
By Paul Elias
SAN FRANCISCO The city of San
Joses antitrust claims against Major
League Baseball were dismissed Friday by a
federal judge, who allowed the city to pursue
allegations of contract interference in con-
nection with the Oakland Athletics stalled
relocation plans.
U.S. District Judge Ronald M. Whyte in
San Jose ruled that MLBs antitrust exemp-
tion, created by the U.S. Supreme Court in
1922, barred most of the claims in San
Joses lawsuit. The city led the lawsuit in
June, accusing MLB of conspiring to stop
the teams proposal to move to a planned
ballpark in downtown San Jose.
MLB denes San Jose and its suburbs in
Santa Clara County as the exclusive territo-
ry of the San Francisco Giants.
Whyte rejected San Joses contention that
the antitrust exemption was limited to the
player reserve system and ruled it includes
MLBs business interests, such as reloca-
tion issues.
The Supreme Court last upheld the exemp-
tion in the 1972 Curt Flood case, when the
court said it was up to Congress to change
the exemption. Whyte said the fact that
Congress altered the exemption in the 1998
Curt Flood Act only with respect to the
employment of major league players was
evidence that Congress did not wish to alter
it for baseballs other business.
play, adding two touchdowns and a safety to
their nal tally.
Serra took its initial lead on a 51-yard
touchdown pass from Matt Faaita to reign-
ing Daily Journal Athlete of the Week
Kelepi Laitamua. The TD pass was Faaitas
rst attempt since returning from an injury.
It appears the injury did nothing to slow
him down as the signal caller led the Serra
offense with great efciency.
The Padres added to the lead with 3:53 left
in the rst quarter following a seven-play
drive that saw Kava Cassidy score from 10
yards out.
Then, it took Serra one offensive play
from scrimmage to make it 20-3. This time,
Faaita found Hamilton Anoai on a 61-yard
pitch and catch with 1:35 left in the rst.
We have two good quarterbacks, Walsh
said referring to Faaita and Anthony
Smock, who also saw action and was effec-
tive in his drives. We have a luxury right
now. You never know what is going to hap-
pen during a season. I was really happy with
both their efforts.
Walsh had to be pleased with his teams
defensive effort. For the second straight
week, the Padres have held a West Catholic
Athletic league offense to under 200 total
yards. The Irish had 10 at the quarter, 67 for
the half and 97 for the game.
I think the coaching staff worked really
hard all week to put these guys in the right
positions, Walsh said. They have some
good players on the other side, too. I think
our guys did an awesome job especially
early in the game when our punt return team
was struggling.
Serra would go on to add touchdowns by
Kevin McGee (three days from his birth-
day), another by Cassidy and two more by
Gabriel Cabezon.
Its always great to have losses within
wins and there are some things we need to do
better if we want to be a championship-cal-
iber team, Walsh said, referring to those
two fumbles early in the game. But Im
glad we got to learn those lessons during a
win.

ban will protect condors and other wildlife
that feed on gut piles left behind by hunters.
I am concerned, however, the impression
left from this bill is that hunters and sports-
men and women in California are not con-
servationists, Brown wrote. I know that
is not the case. Hunters and anglers are the
original conservationists.
He says the nal version of the legisla-
tion protects hunters by allowing the ban to
be lifted if the federal government decides to
prohibit hunters from using non-lead
ammo.
Browns action Friday came as he
announced signing and vetoing other meas-
ures on ammunition and gun ownership,
including rejecting a bill that would have
banned the sale of most semi-automatic
ries that accept detachable magazines.
Opponents of AB711 argued that non-lead
ammunition is more expensive and faces
federal restrictions because it is technically
considered to be armor-piercing. The
California Fish and Game Wardens
Association last week urged Brown to veto
the bill, saying there is insufcient data to
justify a statewide ban.
Astatement issued Friday by the National
Shooting Sports Foundation said the new
law will amount to a virtual ban on hunting
in California. The group says the supply of
non-lead ammunition is limited because
manufacturers must receive a federal waiver
to sell those bullets.
Lead is the leading cause of death for the
remaining wild California condors, which
can be found in California, Baja California,
Arizona and Utah. Supporters say the use of
lead bullets not only endangers wildlife but
also puts people who eat game killed with
the ammunition at risk.
Jennifer Fearing of the Humane Society of
the United States, which sponsored the bill
along with Defenders of Wildlife and
Audubon California, said more than 30
states have limited when lead bullets can be
used, such as by season or by geography.
This common-sense law should serve as
an example for the rest of the nation on the
urgent need to stop releasing this dangerous
toxin into the environment, Fearing said.
Assemblyman Anthony Rendon, D-
Lakewood, who carried AB711, said in a
statement Friday that the ban makes sense
because lead has already been prohibited in
paint, gasoline and toys.
The ban will be phased in by July 2019.
The new law requires the state Fish and
Game Commission to enact regulations by
July 2015, which will detail when the ban
goes into effect for different types of hunt-
ing and in various areas of the state.
Brown said in his signing statement the
time between adopting the regulations and
requiring the ban to be in full effect will
give hunters time to adjust to the new rules.
He also said he will direct ofcials to con-
sider incentives for hunters to make the
transition.

work around previous assault weapon
bans. Gun rights groups had threatened
to sue if the semi-automatic weapons
ban became law.
I dont believe that this bills blan-
ket ban on semi-automatic ries would
reduce criminal activity or enhance
public safety enough to warrant this
infringement on gun owners rights,
the Democratic governor wrote in his
veto message.
He also noted that California already
has some of the nations strictest gun
and ammunition laws.
Democratic Senate President Pro Tem
Darrell Steinberg, who proposed the
measure, did not immediately respond
to requests for comment.
The bill sought to ban the sale of
assault ries, but Brown objected that
it also would have applied to low-
capacity weapons commonly used for
hunting, rearms training and target
shooting, and some historical and col-
lectible rearms. Brown also didnt
want thousands of legal gun owners to
have to register their existing
weapons as assault rifles and be
blocked from selling or transferring
the weapons.
The governors actions were a mixed
bag for both gun rights groups and
those seeking greater restrictions.
He signed a measure from
Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner, D-
Berkeley, which bans kits that allow
people to turn regular ammunition
magazines into high-capacity maga-
zines, as well as two other pieces of
legislation that restrict the ability of
mentally ill people to possess
rearms.
Brown approved a measure making
California the rst state to impose a
statewide ban on lead bullets for all
types of hunting. Hunting with lead
bullets already is prohibited in eight
counties with endangered California
condors. About two dozen states also
have partial bans, most in sensitive
wildlife refuges.
But he vetoed other bills including
measures giving several San
Francisco-area communities special
authority to regulate weapons and gun
shows, as well as several other bills he
said went too far to restrict the sale or
possession of certain types of hand-
guns or shotguns.
Some of the new laws could trigger
legal challenges.
Gun owners rights groups have said
they also could consider mounting
recall campaigns or election-year chal-
lenges against Democratic lawmakers
who voted for the gun bills. Final
votes on the legislation occurred last
month, just as two Colorado state law-
makers were recalled for supporting
tougher gun laws in that state.

MANILA, Philippines A t yphoon
ooded villages and farms in the northern
Philippines major rice-growing region
early Saturday, but ofcials said no casual-
ties were immediately reported.
Typhoon Nari slammed into Aurora
province northeast of Manila late Friday
with 150 kilometers (94 miles) per hour
winds and gusts of up to 185 kph (116
mph). U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry
had called off his trip to the Philippines on
Friday due to the weather.
More than 2,500 people were evacuated
from several coastal villages of Aurora
before the typhoon made landfall, said
provincial disaster officer Amado Elson
Egargue. Authorities shut off electricity for
the entire province before the storm, and
power restoration will depend upon the
extent of the damage, he said.
In nearby Nueva Ecija province, Gov.
Aurelio Umali told DZMM radio that fallen
trees and electric pylons blocked all the
major roads in the province. He said the ini-
tial estimate was that 15,000 hectares
(37,050 acres) of rice may have been dam-
aged or destroyed.
Bulacan provincial Gov. Wilhelmino M.
Sy-Alvarado said more than 20 villages in
two towns remained ooded Saturday, with
some areas under about 2 meters (6 feet) of
water. He said about 10,000 hectares
(24,700 acres) of rice and vegetable farms
were damaged.
Weather forecaster Meno Mendoza said
Nari weakened after hitting the mountains
in Aurora then quickly blew across the rice-
growing central plains of Luzon. It was cen-
tered about 80 kilometers (50 miles) off
Zambales province over the South China
Sea by midday Saturday and moving west.
The typhoon drenched Manila overnight
but caused no widespread flooding. The
sprawling capital of 12 million has been hit
hard by oods because of poor infrastructure
and clogged drainage and water canals
most of them blocked by densely populated
slums that are supposed to channel
excess water into the sea.
The Philippines gets lashed by about 20
to 22 tropical storms a year, plus monsoon
rains from July to December.
About 30 people died last month in mon-
soon ooding. Another 20 died this past
week, mostly in the southern Philippines.

T
wo years ago, one of my teachers
bestowed some interesting advice
upon my class at the end of one of
his lectures. While I am unable to remem-
ber the exact words he used, the gist was
clear: Take as many classes in as many sub-
jects as you possibly can during high
school before you are conned to a major
during college.
His recommendation
was spot-on, but I did
not fully appreciate its
validity until recently,
when I found myself cur-
dling milk in a test tube
using only my armpit as
an incubator. As a stu-
dent in biotechnology
1-2 at Aragon, I am
immersed in experiments almost every day,
actively working with professional lab
equipment and chemicals instead of just
reading about them. But how did I, a pas-
sionate humanities student and science un-
enthusiast, end up in safety goggles and
latex gloves when I could have been lab-
free in a psychology class?
For that, I owe a tremendous amount to
Aragons senior adviser, Ms. Trisha Liskay,
who, toward the end of my junior year,
reminded me of the importance of a well-
rounded education. Since I had exhausted
the college preparatory program of biolo-
gy, chemistry and physics and was not in a
hurry to take a math-intensive Advanced
Placement science course, she recommend-
ed that I take biotechnology.
Even though she explained to me that the
teaching and curriculum were excellent and
worthwhile, I was still hesitant to enroll.
Taking biotechnology meant that I would
be subjecting myself to another year of sci-
ence, a eld I was looking forward to part-
ing with after all these years. However, I
considered Ms. Liskays advice, and came
to the conclusion that biotechnology
deserved a try.
Now that I am more than two months
into the school year, I can say with certain-
ty that taking this introductory-level
course was one of the best decisions I have
made while a student at Aragon.
Like the biotechnology programs at
other schools in the San Mateo Union
High School District, Aragons class is
designed to have a career-technological cur-
riculum. Instead of requiring rote memoriza-
tion out of a textbook, biotechnology
emphasizes the development of practical
skills that could be applied to entry-level
jobs in the biotechnology industry.
While I wouldnt say that a major
biotechnology company could hire me
quite yet, it is amazing how much more

Tom Hanks stars as Richard Phillips in this weekends release of Captain Phillips.
By Jocelyn Noveck
If you saw Paul Greengrass United 93, a
terrifying depiction of one of the doomed
ights on 9/11, you know this director can
evoke a harrowing, real-life event like few
others. In fact, you may not have recovered
yet from the experience.
So its no surprise that Greengrass has
produced another expertly crafted, documen-
tary-style lm based on a real event the
2009 hijacking of a cargo ship by Somali
pirates and the ve-day standoff that ensued,
with the ships American captain, Richard
Phillips, held captive in a stiing covered
lifeboat after offering himself as a hostage.
Amajor difference is that this movie has a
happy ending for the captain, anyway,
who was rescued in a dramatic high-seas
Navy sniper operation. Three of the over-
matched attackers were killed; the fourth is
in a U.S. prison.
More cinematically speaking, the differ-
ence is that Captain Phillips is a star
vehicle. In some cases, this can detract from
the sense of veracity of a truth-based lm.
Tom Hanks, though, delivers some of his
nest work here, playing the Everyman role
he does so well, in this case a fairly ordinary
guy forced by circumstance to be a hero.
And yet Captain Phillips is a remark-
ably unsentimental lm, with an emotional
catharsis coming only at the very end, when
were all ready for some kind of release. This
is where Hanks digs deepest as an actor.
Oddly, the lm falters only at the begin-
ning in a brief and awkward domestic
scene between Phillips, preparing for what
he assumes is a routine voyage, and his
wife, Andrea (Catherine Keener, in a tiny
part). The two share stilted dialogue on a
drive to the airport, with her asking: Its
gonna be OK, right? and him commenting
stify that the world is moving so fast.
But once Phillips gets onto his ship, the
movie truly starts. What Greengrass excels
at is action taut and visceral and it
happens as soon as the captain suddenly
Hanks stellar as Phillips
By Jake Coyle
NEWYORK The birth of Tom Hanks,
dramatic actor, happened during a table read
on Splash. As the smitten lead Allen
Bauer in Ron Howards 1984 lm, Hanks
began by going for laughs, an instinct from
the sitcom Bosom Buddies.
And it didnt go well, said Hanks in a
recent interview. Ron said to me, literally,
Look, I know what youre doing, and you
cant do that here. Youre not the guy to be
funny. These are not jokes. You have to love
that girl.
Hanks wasnt done with comedy (The
Bachelor Party, for one, was to follow), but
his trajectory was altered for good: I was
upbraided right off the bat.
So off it began, says Hanks, who real-
izes it could have easily gone another direc-
tion. I wasnt that far away from putting
together three minutes at the Improv.
Some will always wonder what might
have happened had Hanks, with a rare gift
for comic timing, put those three minutes
together. But three decades after that course
correction from Howard, Hanks, 57, may
well have given the nest dramatic perform-
ance of his career.
In the new docudrama Captain Phillips,
Hanks bears none of that youthful, comic
energy, but rather the skill of a grizzled vet-
eran. Gray-bearded and in glasses, his
Captain Richard Phillips is for Hanks
who has made a career out of playing ordi-
nary guys the most regular Joe of them
all: a working-class, cargo ship captain
from Vermont.
Phillips is a new chapter in history for Hanks

condent and self-reliant I have come
to feel in a lab setting. Over the last
several weeks, I have learned how to
effectively and accurately use a spec-
trum of tools ranging from serologi-
cal pipets (for measuring small vol-
umes) to spectrophotometers (used to
measure the transmission of light
through a material). Since we dedicate
such a large portion of class time to
thoroughly practicing each skill, I
have a much stronger grasp on each
tools function than I would have in
an AP or college level course, where
the emphasis is placed on learning
the material, rather than the skills
used in lab.
Its true, knowing how to use these
tools will probably not benet me on
any of the career paths I intend to pur-
sue. However, biotechnology has
allowed me to develop skills that I
would not be learning through anoth-
er social science class, and I am cer-
tain they will prove to be benecial
in the future. For years, I have felt
uneasy in labs, always unsure and
worried I would not follow the direc-
tions correctly or make an accuracy-
destroying error. Not only has taking
this class made me more self-suf-
cient, but it has also pushed me to
think outside of the box when we are
asked to connect our experiments to
the real world. The writing and critical
thinking emphasized in the world of
social science are invaluable, but the
hands-on nature of this class is inte-
gral to developing my thinking in
other ways.
Just as athletes cross-train to
improve their strength and stamina,
well-rounded thinkers must venture
beyond their comfort zones. The try-
ing new things is good for you
clich aside, learning new skills can
only make an individual more experi-
enced and capable in whatever he
does.

STUDENT
By Jake Coyle
It is surely a bad sign for any
Romeo and Juliet when its most
pulse-quickening moments come from
Paul Giamatti.
This latest adaption of the
Shakespeare tragedy of young love
comes suited to times ush with teen
romance, a reminder that before there
were vampires and werewolves, there
were Montagues and Capulets. Though
Italian director Carlo Carlei keeps the
lm focused on the emotions, Hailee
Steinfeld (True Grit) and the young
British actor Douglas Booth dont cre-
ate any real passion in this earnest but
bland production.
So it comes as little surprise that
Giamatti, as Friar Laurence, simply
steals every scene hes in. With excla-
mations like Holy St. Francis! he
enlivens the movie such that you wish
it would do away with those star-
crossed lovers (what were their
names?) and focus on the mischievous
monk.
The screenplay has been adapted by
Julian Fellowes, of Downton Abby
fame. Fellowes has kept the
Shakespeares lyrical prose, but he
does a lot of trimming and simplifying
to hue close to the melodrama. As
opposed to Baz Luhrmanns 1996 lm,
Fellowes aims generally at presenting
a traditional, Verona-set Romeo and
Juliet, more akin to Franco Zefrellis
1968 version.
Its an admirable purpose that pays
off in one respect: the ne, stark set-
tings of Renaissance-era Italy. Carlie
shot in Verona and other Italian cities,
and the effect is often painterly. (The
period costumes by Carlo Poggioli are
also sumptuous.)
But the approach also robs the adap-
tation of any urgency or reason for
being. By staying fairly faithful to
Shakespeare, only so much damage
can be done (Joss Whedons Much ado
About Nothing earlier this year got
by with far less production value and
just a touch of wit), but there is little
intensity here.
The abridgement, too, is so much
that Juliet feels like a supporting play-
er to Romeo. Booths handsome fea-
tures and full lips get plenty of appre-
ciation, but one cant help but wish for
someone (like a young DiCaprio) with
a little danger a Romeo who doesnt
look like hes about to stride down a
catwalk.
But thats symptomatic of the lm
altogether: pretty on the outside but
lacking something more than a
menagerie of lush brunette heads.
Carlei has a smooth touch, but it can
grow suffocating, particularly with the
omnipresent strings of Abel
Korzeniowskis score.
Many of the adults in supporting
roles (Damian Lewis, Natascha
McEhlone) give strong if brief per-
formances. The most obvious misstep
is the one-note rage of Ed Westwick as
Tybalt.

WONDERING WHAT TO DO FOR HALLOWEEN? HOW ABOUT A DATE WITH JACK THE RIPPER?
John Flaw and Bruna Palmiero in The Wrong Ripper,part of ThrillpeddlersShocktoberfest 14:
Jack the Ripper, at The Hypnodrome in San Francisco through Nov. 23.
WEEKEND JOURNAL

The lm is based on the 2009 incident
where Phillips ship, the Maersk Alabama,
was hijacked by pirates off the coast of
Somalia. He was kidnapped in a lifeboat,
which led to a fraught standoff with the U.S.
Navy. For Hanks, who has considered him-
self something of a lay historian since
junior high and has a lmography dotted
with period tales from Saving Private
Ryan to producing John Adams,
Captain Phillips is a more recent chapter
in history for the actor.
Its a simple story, told with Paul
Greengrass visceral, documentary-like nat-
uralism and an empathy that stretches
around the globe. With the steady accumula-
tion of details about a small band of desper-
ate, young Somalis (played by a quartet of
Somalia-born men from Minnesota and the
responses of the ships crew, Captain
Phillips recreates the hijacking into a
tensely realistic thriller.
When the stress of the standoff nally
breaks, a wave of relief overtakes Phillips
in an exceptionally raw scene unlike any
before in Hanks career. Partly improvised
toward the end of a lengthy shoot on ships
off the coast of Malta, its an outpouring
that elevates Captain Phillips to a higher
plane.
We had been through a lot, says Hanks.
In the course of making a movie, every-
thing that you sort of pretend has happened
to you is actually a very tangible thing
thats happened to you. So by the time we
got there I dont know how to explain it
there was a place for going there.
It all happened in a daze as far as Im con-
cerned.
The role is sure to land Hanks his sixth
Oscar nomination (he won for
Philadelphia and Forrest Gump), yet its
been more than a decade since he was last
nominated (for Cast Away in 2001). In
between, hes had some duds (The Da Vinci
Code, Angels & Demons, both with
Howard), tried farce with the Coen brothers
(The Ladykillers) and attempted some
interesting stretches (playing six charac-
ters in last years Cloud Atlas).
Hes directed his second film (Larry
Crown), made his Broadway debut (Nora
Ephrons Lucky Guy) and expanded his
production company, Playtone, into digital
media (Electric City for Yahoo). But with
the exception of the snappy and smart
Charlie Wilsons War (which, unlike
Captain Phillips, traded on Hanks charis-
ma) it has been a while since Hanks has
been so well suited to a lm.
Im too old now to have an idea of what
Im going to do, says Hanks, who revealed
on The Late Show on Monday that he has
type 2 diabetes.
Movies, theyre like leaves on a river,
says Hanks, who also stars as Walt Disney
in the upcoming Saving Mr. Banks.
Youve got to sit by and collect them as
they go by. (He immediately repeats the
phrase in the mock voice of a wise shaman.)
Though Hanks was initially drawn to the
story by Phillips memoir (the actor twice
went to Vermont to meet with the captain)
and the script by Billy Ray, working with
Greengrass (the director of United 93 and
Bloody Sunday) meant a very different
experience. The British director rehearses at
length and then shoots long, unblocked
scenes with hand-held cameras.
Raising to the same kind of exasperated
inection as his famous Theres no crying
in baseball line from A League of Their
Own, Hanks recalls his initial puzzlement
at how Greengrass crafts such verisimili-
tude.
I said, I dont know how he does this!
How does he get this? says Hanks. Look,
I know how movies are made the shots
and the thing and the storyboards and all
that kind of stuff. I know that. But how does
he do this?
Hanks found that he relished the process,
allowing him to focus purely on behavior:
We didnt have to worry about lights or
marks, particularly. The scene just took us
every place that the scene took us.
Greengrass isnt prone to hyperbole, but
he plainly states that Hanks is a great
American, a truly great man.
In a cinematic era where the landscape is
dominated by superheroes ... hes an actor
whos built that fantastic career playing
ordinary men, says Greengrass.
HANKS
looks at a screen and sees two small dots
moving toward the ship.
Two skiffs are carrying bands of armed
men; from an early scene on a Somali
beach, we know theyve been whipped into
action by their warlords. When they realize
theyve happened upon a U.S. ship, they
cant believe their luck.
What WE cant believe is how a huge
cargo ship is so vulnerable to small bands
of armed men. But the Maersk Alabama has
no gun power aboard, only huge hoses to
repel pirates and their machine guns. They
dont work. Soon, four pirates have hoisted
a ladder onto the ship. Im the captain
now, says their leader, Muse.
And the ordeal begins. Greengrass and
cinematographer Barry Ackroyd are at their
most effective in scenes like the frighten-
ing search in tense, dark spaces, in
extreme closeup by increasingly angry
pirates hunting down the crew.
On the other hand, this is where the cam-
erawork gets ever more unstable and jittery.
Good for dramatic effect but bad if youre
susceptible to queasiness or nausea at such
times. Be forewarned.
Things get even more intense in the
lifeboat, where the pirates are locked in
with Phillips for several agonizing days.
With the U.S. Navy bearing down, its pret-
ty clear where its all headed. The only ques-
tion: Who will die?
The movie humanizes the pirates but is
not inclined to forgive them. All four
Somali actors are excellent, but especially
Barkhad Abdi, memorable as Muse.
As for Hanks, his nal moments are his
best, as Phillips registers in an intensely
personal way the cumulative effects of what
hes endured. Its safe to say those moments
will be whats remembered most from this
movie, and for a long time.
Captain Phillips, a Sony Pictures
release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion
Picture Association of America for sus-
tained intense sequences of menace, some
violence with bloody images, and sub-
stance use. Running time: 134 minutes.
Three and a half stars out of four.

became a place mostly for high school
students to hang out and get their chips
and drinks after school.
When I got here, it was dreadful.
The previous owner just sort of gave
up, said Rich. Its about bringing
back a corner neighborhood store.
Rich moved to the Bay Area from
Chicago in 2002 and went to work for
Bi-Rite Market, a popular grocery
store with two locations in San
Francisco. He was impressed with Bi-
Rites commitment to offer local,
gourmet and quality produce to its cus-
tomers and he wanted to get into that
same business.
After looking at more than 100 loca-
tions, Rich found himself in the Oak
Grove Manor neighborhood with a
corner store that needed a lot of atten-
tion.
I had to pump money in, to rebuild
equipment and purchase inventory,
said Rich.
He made gradual changes to improve
the aesthetics of the store at 1000 Oak
Grove Ave. and started stocking the
shelves by adding gourmet foods,
local and organic produce and artisanal
snacks. Some items are customer rec-
ommendations that Rich encourages
them to write down on a clipboard next
to the cash register.
Desha Nardecchia, director of Adult
Fitness and Special Programs at the
nearby Burlingame Aquatic Club, said
she comes to the market every day to
get custom-made sandwiches, snacks
and drinks.
I feel comfortable here and I like the
level of wholesome choices,
Nardecchia said.
Last month, Steve Rich partnered
with Fish Bank, a company that sells
fresh seafood at various farmers mar-
kets in the Bay Area. Fish Bank owner,
Danny Eng, had a business selling
flash frozen fish to residents of
Burlingame by knocking on doors,
four years ago.
Now, Eng focuses on sourcing local-
ly caught or fresh seafood to ll his
rst retail location, which occupies a
corner space inside the Oak Grove
Market.
As a longtime resident of San
Mateo, I admire Dannys and Steves
enterprise in supporting and supply-
ing good food to the local communi-
t y, said Gretchen Warner, of San
Mateo.
It has been an uphill battle for Rich,
who said he works well over 90 hours a
week to keep things aoat.
Were still not raking in the money
but the revenues are steadily increas-
ing, said Rich.
In the meantime, both Steve and
Danny offer samples for people to
come and try. On Sept. 7, they hosted
an event and served complimentary
tastings of grilled halibut, salmon,
shrimp and scallops provided by Fish
Bank. At the event, the Oak Grove
Market staff served salami, cheese and
other fancy snacks.
They will be hosting a
Neighborhood Party noon to 5 p.m.

2008 and November 2011. The money
was used for gambling, he said.
An anonymous source previously
told the Daily Journal her interim
replacement allegedly found a stack of
checks hidden away in a ling cabinet
that were all made out to Abou-
Remeleh.
She also allegedly used the company
credit card which led to the identity
theft charge.
District Board Matthew Zucca did not
respond to phone and email inquiries
but in March 2012 conrmed to the
Daily Journal that it had turned over its
audit to prosecutors and will continue
to fully support any actions taken and
decisions made by the District
Attorney.
Mid-Peninsula Water District is a
local government agency that provides
water to 28,000 homes in Belmont,
parts of San Carlos, parts of Redwood
City and parts of unincorporated San
Mateo County. It has an annual budget
of about $8.5 million and is served by
a ve-person elected board of directors.
It collects about $180,000 annually in
local property taxes.
The water district is the second coun-
ty special district in recent history to
have a former worker charged with
embezzlement. The former finance
director and a bookkeeper with the
Mosquito and Vector Control District
have been convicted of embezzling
nearly a half-million dollars and are
scheduled for sentencing Oct. 25.
Since the economic recession, the
county has seen an uptick in embezzle-
ment all around, including government
agencies and districts, Wagstaffe said.

single statewide income criteria to

This bill is ultimately about local
control and providing local govern-
ments with the tools necessary to best
serve their residents, Gordon said in a
prepared statement.
Gordon, a former county supervisor
and president of the California State
Association of Counties, said the
countys nine years of results illustrate
why the program should continue.
Gordons bill, coauthored by other
county lawmakers, also extends a sim-
ilar program in San Francisco.
Without the extension bill, both pro-
grams would have ended in 2015. The
extension goes until 2018 and the bill
becomes effective Jan. 1.
The governors signing was met
with approval by other local school
and child development leaders.
The San Mateo County pilot is
essential to sustain our vital early care
and education programs upon which
hundreds of young children and their
working families depend, Deb Miller,
chief program ofcer with Peninsula
Family Services, said in a prepared
statement.
Anne Campbell, county school
superintendent and co-chair of the San
Mateo County Child Care Partnership
Council, echoed the sentiment and
called the extension a win for all.

Another migrant ship capsizes off Italy; 27 dead
VALLETTA, Malta For the second time in a week, a
smugglers boat overloaded with migrants capsized in the
Canal of Sicily on Friday as it made the perilous crossing
from Africa to Europe. At least 27 people drowned, but 221
people were rescued in a joint Italian-Maltese operation,
ofcials said.
Helicopters ferried the injured to Lampedusa, the Italian
island that is closer to Africa than the Italian mainland and
the destination of choice for most smugglers boats leaving
Tunisia or Libya. It was off Lampedusa that a migrant ship
from Libya capsized Oct. 3 with some 500 people aboard.
Only 155 survived.
Fridays capsizing occurred 65 miles southeast of
Lampedusa, but in waters where Malta has search and rescue
responsibilities.
The two shipwrecks were the latest grim reminder of the
extreme risks that migrants and asylum-seekers often take in
an effort to slip into Europe every year by boat. Facing
unrest and persecution in Africa and the Middle East, many of
the migrants think the Lampedusa escape route to Europe,
which is barely 70 miles from northern Africa, is worth the
risk.
They do know that they are risking their lives, but it is a
rational decision, said Maurizio Albahari, assistant profes-
sor of anthropology at the University of Notre Dame.
Because they know for a fact they will be facing death or
persecution at home whatever remains of their home, or
assuming there is a home in the rst place.
Libya PM says his abduction was attempted coup
TRIPOLI, Libya Libyas Western-backed prime minis-
ter on Friday said his brief abduction by gunmen this week
was an attempted coup by his Islamist political rivals, using
militias which he warned are trying to terrorize the gov-
ernment and turn the North African nation into another
Afghanistan or Somalia.
In a sign of the turmoil, a car bomb detonated outside a
building housing the Swedish and Finnish consulates in the
eastern city of Benghazi, where militias are particularly
prominent. No one was hurt, but the blast damaged the build-
ings facade. The city, Libyas second-largest, has seen fre-
quent violence, including killings of security ofcials and a
string of attacks on foreign missions that have driven most
of diplomats out of the city.
With his nationally televised address, embattled Prime
Minister Ali Zidan appeared to be trying to leverage public
shock over his abduction a day earlier into momentum
against his political opponents and against the multiple
armed groups stirring chaos since the 2011 toppling of dic-
tator Moammar Gadha.
By Karl Ritter and
Bassem Mroue
BEIRUT The watchdog agency
working to eliminate the worlds
chemical weapons won the Nobel
Peace Prize on Friday in a powerful
endorsement of the inspectors now on
the ground in Syria on a perilous mis-
sion to destroy the regimes stockpile
of poison gas.
In honoring the Organization for the
Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, the
Norwegian Nobel Committee said
recent events in Syria, where chemi-
cal weapons have again been put to
use, have underlined the need to
enhance the efforts to do away with
such weapons.
The prize came 10 days after OPCW
inspectors started arriving in war-torn
Syria to oversee the dismantling of
President Bashar Assads chemical
arsenal.
While world leaders and former
Nobel laureates praised the groups
selection, some in Syria lamented that
the prize would do nothing to end the
bloodshed, most of which is being
inicted with conventional weapons.
The killing is continuing, the
shelling is continuing and the dead
continue to fall, said Mohammed al-
Tayeb, an activist who helped film
casualties after the deadly chemical
attack in August that the rebels and the
government have blamed on each
other.
The peace prize, he added, should
have gone to whoever helps the
Syrian people get rid of Bashar Assad.
After focusing on such themes as
human rights and European unity in
recent years, the Norwegian Nobel
Committee this time returned to the
core purpose of the 112-year-old
Nobel Peace Prize disarming the
world.
Founded in 1997, the OPCW had
largely worked out of the limelight
until this year, when the United
Nations called upon its expertise.
The OPCWs selection caught many
by surprise. It was widely expected
that the peace prize would go to Malala
Yousafzai, the 16-year-old Pakistani
girl who was shot in the head by the
Taliban last October for championing
education for girls.
She is an outstanding woman and I
think she has a bright future, and she
will probably be a nominee next year
or the year after that, said Nobel com-
mittee chairman Thorbjoern Jagland.
The peace prize committee has a tra-
dition of not just honoring past
achievements, but encouraging causes
or movements that are still unfolding.
The OPCWwas formed to enforce the
Chemical Weapons Convention, the
1997 international treaty outlawing
such arms. The Nobel Peace Prize came
just days before Syria ofcially joins
as OPCWs 190th member state on
Monday.
I truly hope that this award and the
OPCWs ongoing mission together
with the United Nations in Syria will
(help) efforts to achieve peace in that
country and end the suffering of its
people, OPCW Director-General
Ahmet Uzumcu said at The Hague,
Netherlands.
After the Aug. 21 chemical weapons
attack that killed hundreds in Syria,
Assad faced the prospect of a U.S. mil-
itary strike. To avert that, he acknowl-
edged his chemical weapons stockpile,
and his government quickly signed on
to the Chemical Weapons Convention
and allowed OPCWinspectors into the
country.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry
congratulated the OPCW on Friday,
saying: Since that horric attack, the
OPCW has taken extraordinary steps
and worked with unprecedented speed
to address this blatant violation of
international norms that shocked the
conscience of people around the
world.
