A 6-year-old girl was killed in East Palo
Alto Wednesday when she was struck by a car
driven by a teacher on her way to work just
a block away from where a motorcyclist died
in a separate collision earlier in the morning.
The girl was crossing Bay Road at Gloria
Way in a crosswalk a few feet ahead of her
mother and two younger sisters shortly after 8
a.m. when she was struck by an eastbound
car, East Palo Alto police spokeswoman
Veronica Barries said.
She was on her way to school, Barries
said.
The girl, a student at Green Oaks Academy
whose name has not been released, was pro-
nounced dead at the scene.
The driver, Alisha Whiteparker, 49, of East
Palo Alto, was on her way to teach at Costano
Elementary School, Barries said.
She stopped at the scene and cooperated
with investigators.
It is not yet clear what caused the accident.
Its still all under investigation, Barries
said. Were taking a lot of things into account
at this point.
The tragedy came less than three hours after
a motorcyclist was killed a block away, at Bay
Road and University Avenue, when he was
struck by a driver eeing from police.
The chase began after police responded to a
5:25 a.m. call from a resident of the 400 block
of Bell Street who believed someone was try-
ing to break into her home.
She heard voices in her backyard, Barries
said.

Districts
sue over
funding
Coalition of schools and education
groups seek more than $2 billion
By Terence Chea
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO A coalition of school districts and
education groups sued the state of California on Wednesday,
seeking the restoration of more than $2 billion in funding they
say public schools are owed under state law.
The lawsuit seeks the return of $2.1 billion in education
funding that was cut from the 2011-2012 state budget. The
plaintiffs say districts are owed that money under Proposition
98, a 1988 voter initiative that guarantees California public
schools a minimum level of funding.
The complaint was led Wednesday in San Francisco
Superior Court by the California School Boards Association,
Association of California School Administrators and the Los
Angeles, San Francisco and Turlock school districts.
Californias schools and students were shortchanged in the
last budget cycle, said Alice Petrossian, president of the

San Mateo County is moving closer to
picking an option for a new jail in
Redwood City nearly ve years after
Sheriff Greg Munks rst called for a new
facility due to extensive overcrowding.
A site has already been purchased on
Chemical Way on the east side of
Highway 101 for $17 million but county
supervisors have been unable to decide
how big the facility should be.
Yesterday, a majority of the Board of
Supervisors agreed that a larger jail with
576 beds and an unnished top oor,
called option B, should be pursued for
the site, despite
objections from the
boards newest
member Dave Pine.
Munks had origi-
nally called for
building a facility to
house an additional
760 inmates but
scaled the plan back
in other design
options over time to satisfy the board.
The board had three options from which
to pick, with a varying number of beds
and related annual costs.
The board heard two hours of testimo-
ny in a special study session yesterday
so Pine could hear more from the public
outside of law enforcement opinions to
help him craft his own ideas on how to
alleviate the countys overcrowded jails.
Pine, however, disagrees with the
majority of the Board of Supervisors.
Option B is the worst option, Pine
said.
Option B calls for the inclusion of a
shell on the top oor of the building
with a minimally nished interior that
can be used for a variety of purposes,
either providing space for programs or
for bunks.
Pine, who was elected to the board in
May, said he feared that building a new
jail will be hurtful to other county
County closer to picking jail option
New supervisor, however, says favored option is worst

Georgia Tech students
take the T on campus signs
ATLANTA This college prank is
brought to you by the letter T and the
students at Georgia Tech.
The letter T is disappearing from
signs all over campus, costing the school
more than $100,000 in repairs. Ofcials
at the school in Atlanta are asking stu-
dents to knock it off.
Undergraduate President Elle Creel
tells Fox 5 Atlanta the tradition of steal-
ing the T off Tech Tower began in the
1960s. But this new ritual involves taking
a T from everything from stadium signs
to book return bins in front of the campus

lost a $1,000 deposit after his reception
hall abruptly closed down.
Sgt. Jeff Bezce says the couple clearly
expected to get more money than they
got from the scrap where they sold the
copper.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The accused carjacker who reportedly told a
female driver someone was out to kill him
before ordering her to drive away from a
Belmont pizzeria with him and her daughter
pleaded not guilty and not guilty by reason of
insanity Monday.
The defense attorney for Stephan Thomas
Allen, 20, previously questioned his clients
competency which put criminal proceedings on
hold while two court-appointed doctors evaluate
his mental state. Those reports are due Dec. 1. In
the meantime, Allen pleaded not guilty and not
guilty by reason of insanity Monday. He
remains in custody in lieu of $100,000 bail.
Competency is a persons ability to aid in his
or her own defense. Police nabbed Allen not far
from Totos Pizzeria and Restaurant where he
allegedly carjacked a woman waiting outside
for her husband. The 2001 Honda Civic ran out
of gas on the side of Highway 101 near
Broadway in Burlingame.
The woman told police
about 9 a.m. May 18 a man
entered her car through an
unlocked passenger door
and ordered her to drive. He
allegedly said someone is
out to get me, someone is
going to kill me.
The woman reportedly
told the man he could take
the car as long as she could
remove her 5-year-old daughter rst and he ed
while she returned to the pizzeria to call police.
At about 2 a.m., a California Highway Patrol
ofcer spotted the vehicle and thought it was
simply a driver with car trouble. When the of-
cer ran the license plate, he discovered the car
was reported stolen and arrested Allen on suspi-
cion of carjacking.
Allen reportedly admitted taking the car to
police.

A Sacramento man pleaded guilty
Wednesday to bringing a handgun
into the Redwood City courthouse
where he was headed to a hearing
over child custody.
James Douglas Knapp, 45, of
Sacramento, pleaded guilty to a mis-
demeanor count of bringing a rearm
into a public building, said District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. Knapp
was immediately sentenced to two
years probation during which time he
is subject to a search and seizure at
any time. Also, Knapp cannot possess
any weapon during that period.
Knapp was also given two days in
county jail with credit for two days
served, will need to pay $180 in nes
and the weapon he brought into the
courthouse will be destroyed, said
Wagstaffe.
Knapp was arrested July 12 after
sending a backpack through the X-
ray machine at the security check-
point at 400 County Center in
Redwood City. The center houses
county ofces, the Sheriffs Ofce
and courtrooms. Knapp was going to
family law court regarding a child
custody issue, according to the
District Attorneys Ofce.
Security guards at the checkpoint
reportedly spotted a .45-caliber hand-
gun in the backpack as it passed
through the machine and detained
Knapp. Knapp consented to a search
of his car and deputies reported nd-
ing another gun magazine in the
glove compartment.
Knapp reportedly told authorities
he had not realized the gun was in his
bag.
The last similar incident was in
September 2007 when Frank Turney
of Pacica was arrested after trying to
walk through the same courthouse
metal detector with a loaded hand-
gun. Turney was going to his sons
arraignment on assault charges.
Man pleads guilty to bringing gun to court
The Foster City Council is expect-
ed to pass an ordinance this Monday
to ban the use of polystyrene-based
disposable food containers to match
an ordinance San Mateo County has
already adopted.
The ordinance will forbid restau-
rants from using the food service
containers for take-out orders.
Polystyrene, also known as
Styrofoam, is a large component of
litter and is hazardous to marine life
when it enters waterways, critics
say.
It is also non-recyclable, non-
biodegradable and not reusable.
There is also some evidence that the
chemicals used to make polystyrene
can be hazardous to human health.
Polystyrene products, however,
are widely used in food establish-
ments because they are inexpensive,
lightweight, moisture-resistant and
an effective insulator.
Some say, however, that banning
polystyrene places an undue nan-
cial hardship on small restaurants by
requiring them to switch to more
expensive products.
The council rst considered the
ban in July but Councilman Charles
Bronitsky requested more time to
study the issue and what a ban
might mean to the citys restaurants.
The countys ordinance went into
effect July 1 and requires all retail
food establishments to use only
compostable containers. The Board
of Supervisors has urged all cities in
the county to adopt identical ordi-
nances for the purposes of consis-
tency. In cities where the identical
ordinance is adopted, county restau-
rant inspectors would enforce the
city ordinance.
In San Mateo County, there are
ve cities that have existing poly-
styrene or Styrofoam bans
Burlingame, San Bruno, Pacica,
South San Francisco and Millbrae.
Belmont and San Carlos are also
currently considering such a ban.

Man found dead of gunshot
wound in mall parking lot
A man was found dead of a gun-
shot wound in the parking lot of the
Serramonte Center mall in Daly
City Wednesday morning, a police
spokesman said.
Police responded to reports of a
person lying on the ground next to a
vehicle in the west side of the park-
ing lot at about 9:50 a.m., police
Sgt. Mike Barton said.
They found a man dead of a gun-
shot wound near a white compact
car, with a rearm lying near his
feet, Barton said.
The gunshot wound appeared to
be self-inicted, police said.
Serramonte Center general man-
ager Jennifer Duarte said the mall
was open for business yesterday
afternoon.
Our thoughts and prayers are
with his family and friends, Duarte
said.
Local brief
By Joan Lowy
WASHINGTON The only sen-
ator opposed to a bill to toughen
federal safety regulation of oil and
gas pipelines said Wednesday hes
willing to work with Senate leaders
to schedule a debate on the measure,
but hes still blocking expedited pas-
sage.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who is
philosophically opposed to federal
regulation, also blamed Democratic
leaders for the Senates failure to act
on the measure, saying they could
have scheduled a debate and vote on
the bill at any time.
But a spokesman for Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-
Nev., accused Paul of a classic tea
party stunt.
The simple fact is that if Sen.
Paul stopped blocking this bill, it
would sail through with overwhelm-
ing bipartisan support, spokesman
Adam Jentleson said.
The bill has wide, bipartisan sup-
port and is backed by industry and
safety groups. It was approved with-
out opposition by the Senate
Commerce, Science and
Transportation Committee in May.
Paul is the only senator opposing an
effort by the bills Democratic spon-
sors to pass it swiftly using unani-
mous consent procedures that
eliminate the
need for a time-
c o n s u m i n g
debate.
I believe leg-
islation should
have open
debate and
votes. It need
not take weeks.
Certainly we
could spend an
afternoon for the
peoples elected
representatives
to discuss
whether they got
massive new
r egul a t i ons ,
Paul said in a
statement.
Paul, a tea
party ally, was a tax protester and
worked as an ophthalmologist
before winning election to the
Senate, his rst public ofce, last
year. He shares with his father, Rep.
Ron Paul, R-Texas, a determination
to reduce the size and power of the
federal government. The elder Paul
is running for the Republican presi-
dential nomination.
Most Senate bills, except for top
legislative priorities, are approved
using unanimous consent proce-
dures that forgo a debate and roll
call vote.

SAN FRANCISCO The California State
University faculty union on Wednesday called
for a one-day strike at two CSU campuses to
protest the administrations decision to with-
hold negotiated pay raises.
The California Faculty Association said it
plans to hold concerted actions at the East
Bay and Dominguez Hills campuses on Nov.
17. Those actions could include a strike if
union members authorize it.
The faculty union, which represents profes-
sors, lecturers, coaches, counselors and librar-
ians, also plans to conduct informational pick-
eting at all 23 Cal State campuses on Nov. 8 or
9, union leaders said.
The faculty association decided to call for
the job actions after administrators decided
not to pay salary increases negotiated for the
2008-2009 and 2009-2010 academic years.
The CSU system rescinded the raises after
the state cut higher education funding, but a
state-appointed fact-finding panel recently
recommended that the university provide a
small fraction of the negotiated raises.
The faculty union is currently in negotia-
tions for a new contract and isnt satised with
the administrations proposals, which could
lead to pay cuts over the next few years.
Faculty members are also upset over the
administrations decisions to dramatically
raise student tuition and increase the salaries
of some executives, said CFA President
Lillian Taiz.
We have a responsibility to take action to
preserve our profession and to protect our stu-
dents, Taiz said. It is simply not possible to
predict what kind of university this will
become if there is not a dramatic change in
course.
CSU spokesman Mike Uhlenkamp said a
strike would be very disruptive to students.
He said it would be inappropriate to give
roughly $20 million in salary increases to fac-
ulty members when the university is facing a
severe nancial crisis.
Over the past three years, the cash-strapped
state has sharply reduced funding to
Californias public colleges and universities,
which has led to steep tuition hikes, course
cutbacks, staff layoffs and reduced student
enrollment.
CSU faculty union calls for strike
By Juliet Williams
SACRAMENTO A good-government
group on Wednesday asked state Assembly
Speaker John Perez to ensure that a task force
he appointed to study open-records issues
holds its meetings in public and is transparent
about its ndings.
Common Cause also recommended that
lawmakers scrap the 1970s-era Legislative
Open Records Act, which ofcials in the
Legislature have used to keep many docu-
ments secret.
A policy advocate for Common Cause,
Phillip Ung, asked the Los Angeles Democrat
to make transparency and public disclosure a
priority for the task force, which has yet to
name any members besides its chairwoman,
Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner, D-
Berkeley. The letter sent Wednesday to Perez
and Skinner was provided to the Associated
Press.
Perez announced the task force this sum-
mer while he was under fire for the
Assemblys refusal to release lawmakers
ofce spending records during a feud with
another Democratic lawmaker.
Common Cause called on Perez and
Skinner to post online the biographies of all
committee members and provide at least
three days public notice before it holds meet-
ings, as other state and local government bod-
ies that follow the California Public Records
Act are required to do. Lawmakers are sub-
ject to a separate law, known as LORA, that
they approved in 1978 and that has been used
far more restrictively.
The LORA continues to be a hurdle for
good government groups, members of the
media and everyday Californians to gain
access to common sense legislative docu-
ments, Ung wrote. He said the law contains
unnecessary exemptions for legislative mem-
bers, staff, committees and caucuses with no
policy rational(e) behind the need for such
protection from public scrutiny.
The letter said the public deserves timely
access to Assembly spending records and
lawmakers meeting schedules.
Group seeks open review of legislative records
We have a responsibility to take action
to preserve our profession and to protect our students.
... It is simply not possible to predict what kind of university
this will become if there is not a dramatic change in course.

Feds: Man planned
to blow up Pentagon
By Jay Lindsay
BOSTON A Massachusetts man was
arrested Wednesday and accused of plotting an
assault on the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol using
remote-controlled aircraft armed with explo-
sives the latest of several terrorism cases to
spring from federal sting operations.
Rezwan Ferdaus was arrested in Framingham
after undercover federal agents delivered mate-
rials he had allegedly requested, including
grenades, six machine guns and what he
believed was 24 pounds of C-4 explosive.
Federal ofcials said the public was never in
danger from the explosives, which it said were
always under control and closely monitored.
Wednesdays arrest was similar to other cases
in which reputed would-be terrorists were
caught in sting operations that revolved around
ctional plots against various targets, such as
Dallas skyscapers or a Chicago nightclub. In
this case, though, authorities say Ferdaus
planned the scheme.
According to a federal afdavit, Ferdaus, 26,
of Ashland, became convinced America was
evil through jihadi websites and videos, and
began planning jihad against the U.S. in early
2010. He contacted a federal informant that
December and months later, allegedly began
meeting to discuss the plot with undercover fed-
eral agents he believed were members of al-
Qaida.
Ferdaus said he wanted to deal a psychologi-
cal blow to the enemies of Allah by hitting the
Pentagon, which he called head and heart of
the snake, according to the afdavit.
Allah has given us the privilege, he alleged-
ly told the informant. He punishes them by our
hand. Were the ones.
Ferdaus, a U.S. citizen who graduated from
Northeastern University with a bachelors
degree in physics, made a brief initial appear-
ance Wednesday in federal court on charges of
attempting to destroy federal buildings and pro-
viding support to a foreign terrorist organiza-
tion, in this case al-Qaida.

WASHINGTON The Obama
administration cut corners before
concluding that climate-change pol-
lution can endanger human health, a
key nding underpinning costly new
regulations, an internal government
watchdog said Wednesday.
Regulators and the White House
disagreed with the nding, and the
report itself did not question the sci-
ence behind the administrations
conclusions. Still, the decision by the
Environmental Protection Agencys
inspector general is sure to encour-
age industry lawyers, global warm-
ing doubters in Congress and else-
where, and Republicans taking aim
at the agency for what they view as
an onslaught of job-killing environ-
mental regulations.
The report said EPA should have
followed a more extensive review
process for a technical paper support-
ing its determination that greenhouse
gases pose dangers to human health
and welfare, a nding that ultimately
compelled it to issue controversial
and expensive regulations to control
greenhouse gases for the rst time.
While it may be debatable what
impact, if any, this had on EPAs nd-
ing, it is clear that EPA did not follow
all the required steps, Inspector
General Arthur A. Elkins, Jr. said in a
statement Wednesday.
The EPA and White House said the
greenhouse gas document did not
require more independent scrutiny
because the scientic evidence it was
based on already had been thorough-
ly reviewed.

BOSTON The stock market has
seesawed for a month and a half. Its
a reection of investor uncertainty
about prospects for another reces-
sion, and whether Europe can con-
tain its debt crisis.
At Columbia Management, strate-
gists say theres at least a 50-50
chance of a recession over the next
year. Columbia is one of the nations
largest mutual fund companies, man-
aging some $362 billion in assets.
Columbias outlook may sound
wishy-washy, but its more pes-
simistic than conventional wisdom.
Leading economists surveyed last
month by The Associated Press put
the likelihood of a recession at 26
percent.
Columbia says those odds are ris-
ing primarily because recent reports
indicate U.S. manufacturing is grow-
ing at a slower pace, and may stop
growing altogether. That could lead
to a recession, generally dened as
two consecutive quarters of decline
in the nations output of goods and
services.
Even if that doesnt happen, the
slow pace of growth since the last
recession ended in mid-2009 will
persist, Columbia says.
Whether we enter a recession or
not, it will feel like one to most of
us, says Colin Moore, chief invest-
ment officer at Boston-based
Columbia, which is a subsidiary of
financial planning company
Ameriprise Financial Inc.

WASHINGTON Raising
prospects for a major election-year
ruling, the Obama administration
launched its Supreme Court defense
of its landmark health care overhaul
Wednesday, appealing what it called
a fundamentally awed appeals
court decision that declared the laws
central provision unconstitutional.
Destined from the start for a high
court showdown, the health care law
affecting virtually every American
seems sure to gure prominently in
President Barack Obamas campaign
for re-election next year. Republican
contenders are already assailing it in
virtually every debate and speech.
The administration formally
appealed a ruling by the federal
appeals court in Atlanta that struck
down the laws core requirement that
individuals buy health insurance or
pay a penalty beginning in 2014.
At the same time, however, the
winners in that appellate case, 26
states and the National Federation of
Independent Business, also asked for
high court review Wednesday, say-
ing the entire law, and not just the
individual insurance mandate,
should be struck down.
The Supreme Court almost always
weighs in when a lower court has
struck down all or part of a federal
law, to say nothing of one that aims
to extend insurance coverage to
more than 30 million Americans.
The bigger question had been the
timing. The administrations ling
makes it more likely that the case
will be heard and decided in the term
that begins next week.
Repeating arguments it has made
in courts across the country in
response to many challenges to the
law, the administration said
Congress was well within its consti-
tutional power to enact the insurance
requirement.
Disagreeing with that, the 26
states and business group said in
their lings that the justices should
act before the 2012 presidential elec-
tion because of uncertainty over
costs and requirements.
On the issue of timing, their cause
got an unexpected boost from retired
Supreme Court Justice John Paul
Stevens, who said voters would be
better off if they knew the laws fate
law before casting their ballots next
year.
The 91-year-old Stevens said in an
Associated Press interview that the
justices would not shy away from
deciding the case in the middle of a
presidential campaign and would be
doing the country a service. It
would be better to have that known
about than be speculated as a part of
the political argument, Stevens said
in his Supreme Court ofce over-
looking the Capitol.
President appeals health

WASHINGTON In what
looked like a scene from a
Hollywood action movie, an elite
team of professionals rappelled
down the Washington Monument on
Wednesday not to carry out a
covert mission but to inspect the
damage done to the 555-foot marble
obelisk by last months earthquake.
As tourists squinted at the tiny g-
ures, two men and two women
climbed from a hatch and observa-
tion windows at the top of the mon-
ument and slowly began lowering
themselves with ropes and harness-
es down its pyramid-shaped cap,
where a large, inch-wide crack was
located and where they expected to
nd the most damage.
From the ground, their move-
ments appeared methodical and
deliberate, but it was still enough to
make family members and gawkers
nervous.
Its kind of freaky. Im terried
of heights. Ill bet everything looks
all swirly up there, said Brandon
Guy, 14, of Windsor, Calif.
Engineers said that the 1884 land-
mark is structurally sound but that
they need to catalog every defect so
they can determine how long it will
take to repair it and reopen it to the
public.

WASHINGTON After the U.S.
avoided a government budget crisis
in the nick of time for third time this
year, the public seems fed up with
the nonstop partisanship that led to
the close calls.
Rising public disgust turns up in
poll after poll that shows Congress
approval ratings far lower than
President Barack Obamas.
Weighing down his own numbers
are a teetering economy and dour
jobless numbers.
Yet the political grandstanding is
likely to continue, even grow.
At the heart of every major stand-
off this year is a deep philosophical
disagreement on the size and role of
government. There are sharp dis-
agreements on spending cuts and
taxes, and on whether decit reduc-
tion or more spending to prod a
ailing recovery is a higher priority.
These are arguments sure to rever-
berate more loudly as the presiden-
tial election nears.
I think this thing continues until
next Novembers election, said
James Thurber, a political scientist at
American University. With the cam-
paign started, its very hard to stop it.
As to the current state of political
polarization, Thurber said: There
are very few people in the middle
who are moderate and who can
bring about compromises. And that
creates an environment where you
have this crisis approach to even
fairly small issues.
Shutdown averted, but deep differences linger

High school district
makes $3.5M in cuts
A number of teachers and staff were look-
ing for work elsewhere as the San Mateo
Union High School District approved $3.5
million in budget cuts
Thursday Sept. 28, 2006
including the layoff of
12.4 teachers
and 36.1
school staff.
More than
1,000 peo-
ple lled the Capuchino
High School auditorium
hoping for a miracle. Instead, the board deliv-
ered a 3-2 vote with trustees Linda Lee
Dwyer and Diane Vranes in the minority to
cut personnel and amenities from this years
budget.
Among the cuts were a 3 percent salary
rollback, $5,717, for Superintendent Sam
Johnson, two full-time librarians totaling
$104,395, six teachers totaling $313,186.50
and ve special education teachers who lled
4.4 positions and were let go earlier this
month. A total of 36.1 classied staff were
laid off. The district cut $331,604.43 in main-
tenance and operations workers, which elimi-
nated 11 jobs, reduced overtime by $225,000,
eliminated two technology support positions
for a $175,000 savings, reduced transporta-
tion by $210,000 and suspended board
stipends totaling $4,320. Five accounting
assistants and two administrative managers
will be laid off. The district cut out a $30,000
cellphone bill, $46,925 in ofce supplies,
$20,000 in vehicle costs, $40,000 in mileage,
$1,375 in paper and one position within the

Jewel thief strikes
A gun-wielding man made off with jewels
after a brazen midday robbery on a busy
downtown San Carlos street Wednesday Sept.
27, 2006.
Shortly before 5 p.m., San Carlos police
responded to a report of a robbery at
Dominicks Jewelry at 905 Laurel St. A man
entered the store and pointed a handgun at
the employee and another person who was in
the store. He took an undisclosed amount of
jewelry and then ran from the store. He was
last seen headed south on Laurel Street. No
one was injured.
Police cased the area with canines and
searched surrounding businesses for the man.
He was never located.
The man was described as white, between
20 and 30
years old,
approximate-
ly 6 feet,
heavy set,
with short dark-colored hair and a short beard.
Aggressive squirrels target picnickers
A erce squirrel attacked a 4-year-old boy
at Mountain Views Cuesta Park as the rodent
tried to wrestle a mufn out of the boys
hands, leaving him with scratch and bite
marks that prompted a series of precautionary
rabies shots the week of Sept. 30, 2006.
The skirmish wasnt the rst time the
parks numerous tree squirrels targeted pic-
nickers. Mountain View Community Services
Director David Muela said that as many as
six people have been bitten or scratched by
squirrels since May, and that the attacks have
become more ferocious in the last month.
One squirrel even went so far as to jump into
a childs stroller.
Ironically, efforts to curb the behavior may
have exacerbated the squirrels aggressive
tendencies, Muela said.
The city installed new trash receptacles
featuring metal tops with a latch that makes it
nearly impossible for an animal to rummage
through the can in search of food. Increased
park ranger patrols and ier distributions cau-
tioning against feeding the animals might
have further cut the squirrels food supply,
prompting them to act more assertively in
their quest for food.

Reality of Saudi
women voting
London Evening Standard
E
ven if the latest promise of granting
marginal political rights to Saudi
women could be believed, it would be
too little, too late. King Abdullah has good
intentions regarding their position, but any
step forward on rights tends to be matched by
two steps back and not just for women.
The king consulted with clerics before
announcing women could vote in the next
municipal election though not the one due
this week and join the royally-appointed
Majlis ash-Shura, a consultative body with no
real power. The clerics consent suggests they
see the promise as sufciently meaningless
not to pose any threat to the Wahhabi estab-
lishment.
They are right. This promise has been made
before when municipal elections were rst
held in 2005, women were also told that next
time they would be allowed to cast their bal-
lots. Not only did it take six years for next
time to arrive; women have now been sold
that particular horse twice. No one knows
how long it will take before the new promise
is tested. In the meantime, the rules that make
women the wards of male relatives in even the
tiniest legal matter and the no less offen-
sive ban on driving remain in place,
threading womens lives through endless
humiliations and impracticalities.
Saudi policy is racked by rivalries within
the House of Saud and the inherent uncertain-
ties of gerontocracy. But the rulers seem unit-
ed in defying the march of history by holding
on to their form of government: absolute
monarchy balanced only by fundamentalist
theocracy. In particular, they show no sign of
permitting any political participation that
would permit minority Shia to press their
claims. Not only women, but all disenfran-
chised Saudis will have to bide their time a
while longer.
Shortchanged
generation
The News-Herald, Willoughby, Ohio
N
ew Census data released demon-
strate the chilling impact the reces-
sion has had on the current crop of
young Americans, to whom the American
Dream is increasingly becoming a historical
curiosity.
Certainly the tradition of striking out on
ones own is fast waning.
The Census says that 5.9 million Americans
ages 25 to 34 are living with their parents, an
increase of 25 percent over from before the
recession. Men are now twice as likely as
young women to live with their parents. As an
expression, empty nesters is almost quiz-
show material.
They are delaying the traditional middle-
class aspirations of marriage, buying a home
and starting a family. Well, they do start fami-
lies, but typically do so out of wedlock, mean-
ing the mother likely faces a life of poverty.
One in four families is headed by a single par-
ent, a record high, according to the Census.
Homeownership, which would include the
traditional starter home of young couples, is
down for the fourth straight year.
Only 55.3 percent of young adults 16 to 29
were employed, according to the Census,
down from 67.3 percent in 2000 and again a
post-World War II low.

Letters to the editor
The Sacramento Bee
T
he University of California shall
constitute a public trust, states the
California Constitution.
That trust has eroded as state nancial
support has declined.
The overriding question today is how
much of a UC education should be consid-
ered a public benet for which the state
should pay - and how much should be con-
sidered a private benet for which the stu-
dent should pay.
In the past, that wasnt an issue. A UC
education was considered primarily a public
benet. In 1990, for example, the state con-
tributed 70 percent of the total cost of a UC
students education; the student paid 13 per-
cent.
Those days are long gone. This fall, the
state is contributing 39 percent of the total
cost of a students UC education; the student
is paying 49 percent.
Is that the right mix? That is the discus-
sion we should be having as a state.
To respond to the decline in state support,
UC has cut expenses bulk buying for sup-
plies and energy, joint information technolo-
gy support, restricting travel all to the
good.
Not so good, perhaps, is that campuses
also have slowed the hiring of permanent
faculty, narrowed course offerings, increased
class sizes, curtailed library hours and
reduced support services for students.
During 2008-09, 2009-10, and 2010-11, fac-
ulty and staff received no general salary
increases, and in 2009-10 were subject to
furloughs that reduced salaries by four to 10
percent.
Like the state itself, UC also got into a
self-inicted mess in good times by ending
employer and employee contributions to the
UC pension plan. For 20 years, the UC pen-
sion plan was funded entirely by investment
returns which plummeted in the down-
turn. UC is rectifying that
employer/employee contributions have
resumed and new hires have a new retire-
ment plan starting in 2013 but the x is
costly.
So what next to inject some sunshine into
this dismal picture?
To stabilize and assure continued access
and quality, the University of California has
made a four-year proposal to the state,
through 2016.
Under what UC is calling an optimal sce-
nario, state and student contribution would
increase 8 percent a year over the next four
years. For its part, UC would raise new rev-
enue and do more cost reductions from
increasing nonresident students (who pay
higher tuition) to raising more funds for
nancial aid for middle-class students to
reining in health insurance benet costs to
continued administrative savings.
But if the state does not meet its share, all
bets are off. Hence the screaming headlines,
like The Bees 16% annual UC hike debat-
ed. If the state provides no increase, student
tuition would increase by 16 percent annual-
ly to replace inadequate state support. So
there you have it.
Whats the alternative? UC could, as the
Legislative Analysts Ofce has pointed out,
give out fewer research time releases and put
more faculty into teaching. It could move
more toward standardized or online courses.
Would this stop the UC slide? A little, per-
haps.
Certainly, UC could improve its credibility
with the public by getting out of incestuous
executive bidding wars - like increasing the
pay of the UC Davis Medical Center CEO
by $259,000 to $960,000 a year because she
was being courted by another academic hos-
pital. This kind of stuff gets peoples blood
boiling. Set limits and stop bidding. This
may not save a ton of money, but it would
rebuild public trust.
The state is projecting budget shortfalls for
the next three years. So any reversal in the
UC slide likely will have to come from else-
where, a matter of setting priorities yet
another reason to get the state prison budget
under control.
It will require sacrices all around.
Clearly, California is not going back to the
ideal of a low-cost, state-provided UC edu-
cation for every qualied Californian. Thats
a massive subsidy for Californians who can
afford to pay something.
Public universities benet graduates and
the state. Californias prosperity and quality
of life are intertwined with excellent public
universities. Every Californian has a stake in
their future. Every Californian should hold
elected ofcials responsible for ensuring that
a high quality education remains within
reach of every deserving Californian.
Thanks to the Daily Journal staff
Editor,
I wish to thank you and your fellow staff
members for sticking with it from the begin-
ning in publishing the San Mateo Daily
Journal. Ive watched and read the paper
from your early beginnings and applaud you
for what I know is a very competitive busi-
ness. I see people every day go to your racks,
stacks in the grocery stores, papers left on
tables at Starbucks and the local car wash to
pick up your paper. I can only hope that your
advertisers gain some revenue in advertising
with the paper.
Please pass along my appreciation and
congratulations for a job well done. You per-
form a great public service, whether that was
a goal or not!

Want to pay more taxes? Go ahead
Editor,
Not paying enough in taxes?
Some wealthy people think that they are
not paying enough in taxes. Earlier this year,
a novelist named Stephen King stated, As a
rich person, I pay 28 percent tax. Why am I
not paying 50 percent? Recently, former
Google executive Doug Edwards said to
President Obama, Please raise my taxes to
pay for things like job training, infrastructure
and education.
If anyone wants to pay more taxes, the IRS
will accept their money. There is no need to
wait for possible tax increases.
If taxes are raised to fund more job train-
ing and education, a portion of the tax money
will go toward administrative costs. Why not
cut out the middleman, government? Wealthy
people and others, who want to pay more in
taxes, can give money to nonprots for job
training and education or set up grants for
needy individuals.

America, you are fired
Editor,
I hereby terminate the U.S. governments
role as the Middle Easts peacemaker. We
have been unsuccessful as a mediator and
have wasted much of our nations time and
money on this unending battle.
Israel was created through diplomatic
actions between the English and French
after the Ottoman Empire fell post World
War I. May I suggest both the English and
French take the lead after their recent suc-
cess in the Libyan revolution?
Our diplomacy has now put us in a situa-
tion where we are in a very tight box. Do
we become the focus of the hugely trans-
forming Arab spring while being the only
country that vetoed Palestines bid to
become a member state of the U.N.? What
an impossible situation given the fact that
we give both Palestine and Israel large
amounts of our taxpayer money. For what?
This part of the world has been a pain in
the butt for Americans for much too long.
We quit.

NEW YORK A three-day winning
streak in the stock market came to an end
Wednesday as investors worried about
Europes ability to contain its debt crisis.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 180
points. Raw materials companies had the
biggest declines after prices for commodi-
ties like copper and oil fell sharply.
Traders focused on remarks from
German Chancellor Angela Merkel sug-
gesting that the second bailout package
for Greece might have to be renegotiated.
Several European leaders want banks to
take bigger losses on Greek bonds. France
and the European Central Bank oppose
the idea.
Germanys parliament is set to vote
Thursday on a measure that would give a
European rescue fund more powers to
ght the regions debt crisis. Finlands
parliament approved the proposal
Wednesday, lifting some uncertainty over
the debt crisis issue which has been dog-
ging nancial markets since late July.
This is a market that has been uctuat-
ing and is thoroughly susceptible to any
news, any rumors, any innuendos, about
Europe, said Quincy Krosby, market
strategist at Prudential Financial.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
179.79 points, or 1.6 percent, to close at
11,010.90. It had gained 413 points over
the past two days.
The Standard & Poors 500 index fell
24.32, or 2.1 percent, to 1,151.06.
The Nasdaq composite index fell 55.25,
or 2.2 percent, to 2,491.58
The declines were broad. Five stocks
fell for one that rose on the New York
Stock Exchange. Only 13 of the stocks in
the S&P 500 rose. Four were at.
Raw materials stocks fell the most of
any industry group in the S&P 500, 4.5
percent. Investors fear that Europes prob-
lems could cause the global economy to
slip into another recession, weakening
demand for basic materials such as cop-
per. The price of copper plunged 5.6 per-
cent; crude oil fell 3.8 percent to $81.21
barrel.
Miner Freeport-McMoRan Copper &
Gold Inc. fell 7.2 percent, and Cliffs
Natural Resources Inc. fell 8.4 percent.
Coal producer Alpha Natural Resources
fell 11 percent, the most of any company
in the S&P.
Trading varied widely throughout the
day. The Dow jumped 126 points minutes
after the opening bell on a government
report that orders for manufactured goods
fell just 0.1 percent in August, a smaller
decline than economists predicted.

Big movers
By Tom Krisher
DEARBORN, Mich. Fords turn-
around over the last ve years has result-
ed in big prots and won its CEO a rep-
utation for brilliant management.
But those same achievements are stir-
ring resentment among many of its fac-
tory workers. And that is complicating
contract talks between the company and
its union employees.
At The Rouge, Fords massive, 94-
year-old factory complex in Dearborn,
Mich., theres talk along the assembly
lines of winning back raises and bonus-
es lost when the company was near
nancial collapse in 2007. Workers, who
assemble F-150 pickup trucks at the site,
are upset that Ford is trying to cut labor
costs, especially after nine straight prof-
itable quarters and a $26.5 million pay
package for CEO Alan Mulally.
A few miles to the north, inside Fords
13-story headquarters known as the
Glass House, executives are worried
because workers, on average, cost the
company $58 an hour in pay and bene-
ts, the highest in U.S. auto industry.
Both sides are trying to nd a compro-
mise this week while work continues at
Ford factories under a contract exten-
sion. A top union bargainer told workers
on a telephone recording Monday night
that talks are accelerating and he is
hopefully optimistic a deal can be
reached this week.
Fords prots and the possibility of a
strike could force the company into a
deal thats more generous to workers
than the one already negotiated with
General Motors Co. Chrysler, mean-
while, continues to negotiate its own
contract with the union.
Differences between Ford and the
union date to 2007, when all three
Detroit automakers were on the verge of
nancial ruin. The year before that, Ford
lost $12.6 billion, and U.S. sales were
down 8 percent. Worried that the compa-
ny would collapse, Ford workers began a
series of givebacks.
Like workers at GM and Chrysler,
they eventually gave up cost-of-living
pay raises, performance bonuses and
other benets. GM and Chrysler needed
government bailouts and bankruptcy
protection to stay in business, but Ford
took billions in private loans and
endured on its own.
Fords success stirs UAW resentment
By Peter Svensson
NEW YORK Amazon is taking on
the untouchable iPad with a touch-
screen tablet of its own.
The company on Wednesday intro-
duced its entry in the rapidly expanding
market for handheld computers a
device called Kindle Fire that connects
to the Web, streams movies and TV, dis-
plays e-books and supports thousands of
apps.
Its half the size of an iPad and will be
less than half the price when it goes on
sale Nov. 15. Amazon is offering the
Kindle Fire for $199. The bare-bones
iPad sells for $499, the most expensive
for $829.
Of course, competing with the iPad
wont be as easy as swiping a nger.
Analysts at one research rm, Gartner
Inc., say three of every four tablets sold
this year will be iPads. Apple sold
almost 29 million of them from April
2010 through June of this year.
Amazon sells more than 1 million e-
books, 100,000 movies and TV shows,
and 17 million songs. It hopes it will
succeed where other companies have
failed because the tablet is designed to
tap into Amazons massive storehouse of
media content.
The reason they havent been suc-
cessful is because they made tablets.
They didnt make services, CEO Jeff
Bezos said in an interview.
Bezos unveiled the Kindle Fire at a
New York media event that was stage-
managed much the same way Apple
choreographs its product launches. He
walked a stage extolling the product
while technology sites live-blogged the
event.
The CEO also introduced three ver-
sions of its popular Kindle e-reader, all
with black-and-white screens a basic
model for $79, a touch-screen version
for $99 and a touch-screen with 3G
wireless service for $149.
Amazon targets the iPad: Ready, aim, Fire

WASHINGTON Federal health
ofcials said Wednesday more illnesses
and possibly more deaths may be linked
to an outbreak of listeria in cantaloupe in
coming weeks.
So far, the outbreak has caused at least
72 illnesses including up to 16 deaths
in 18 states, making it the deadliest
food outbreak in the United States in
more than a decade.
The heads of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention and the Food
and Drug Administration said con-
sumers who have cantaloupes produced
by Jensen Farms in Colorado should
throw them out. If they are not sure
where the fruit is from, they shouldnt
eat it.
Neither the government nor Jensen
Farms has supplied a list of retailers who
may have sold the fruit. Ofcials say
consumers should ask retailers about the
origins of their cantaloupe.
If they still arent sure, they should get
rid of it.
If its not Jensen Farms, its OK to
eat, said Thomas Frieden, director of
the CDC. But if you cant conrm its
not Jensen Farms, then its best to throw
it out.
Jensen Farms of Holly, Colo. says it
shipped cantaloupes to 25 states, though
the FDA has said it may be more, and ill-
nesses have been discovered in several
states that were not on the shipping list.
A spokeswoman for Jensen Farms said
the companys product is often sold and
resold, so they do not always know
where it went.

Serras ConOLeary, right, tries to get a shot off while being defended during the Padres 15-6 loss to CCS powerhouse Bellarmine.
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
After a couple of close battles between the
Serra and Bellarmine water polo teams in 2010,
the rst chapter in the 2011 saga was a com-
pletely different story.
The Bells were perfect on the man-advantage
on Wednesday, capitalizing on all 10 of their
opportunities and handed the Padres their rst
WCAL loss in their new pool, 15-6.
Our game was interesting because, we had so
many kickouts and exclusions thats what
killed us, said Serra head coach Bob Greene.
Theyre very fast and they attack the cage all the
time. And since theyre all big and fast and attack
the cage, that gets our guys grabbing. When you
have 10 exclusions, no matter what, youre going
to give them minimum 50 percent goals.
The game played out completely different than
both matchups last year, which ended in 5-4 wins
for Bellarmine.
Both of those were close because, we didnt
get kickouts, Greene said. We made them score
on a set offense and that was good for us. Today
it was not that way. They just came out, kept
going inside 10 exclusions. We were done.
The Bells defense gave the Padres ts the
entire afternoon, especially in the rst half where
they were out-shot 16-9 and trailed 8-4.
Bellarmine took a quick three-goal advantage
to start the game before Paul Smallman found the
back of the net for the Padres.
But that would be the theme for the entire
game as soon as Serra worked tirelessly to
score a goal, it seemed like the Bells would
answer back with a pair of effortless ones.
You know, all of a sudden you get a kickout,
you score, yes. But then all of sudden, boom,
they came back and score two, Greene said.
That is something that well work on. This is
only September. We will be competitive in
league. I guarantee it.
The Bells took a 6-2 advantage into the second
quarter only after Anthony Buljan scored for
Serra with 1:40 left in the frame.
Serra sunk by Bells
W
hat started, basically, as a two-
month publicity stunt, turned
into a ve-month lifestyle
change that saw my body transform from a
lump of jiggly Jell-O to a much-more
sculpted lump of clay Im not complete-
ly formed, but Im a lot more solid.
Today marks the end of my training with
Freddy Silva, a personal trainer working
out of San Mateos B
Street Boxing. When
he rst extended the
offer to train me for a
couple months, I was
coming off a snow-
boarding trip to
Tahoe which was
deciding factor in my
need to get in shape.
I had never snow-
boarded before and it
wasnt that I wasnt
athletic enough to
learn, my body was
physically unable to withstand the work
needed.
In stepped Silva and today I can honestly
say I might be in the best shape of my life.
Ive lost 25 pounds, taken four to ve inch-
es off my waist, denitely rmed up and
slimmed down, increased my cardiovascu-
lar system 100 fold (a guesstimate) and
have generally changed my life for the bet-
ter.
I couldnt have done it without Silva and
Eddie Croft at B Street Boxing.
I think you did physically better than I
thought you would, Silva said. The pace
toward the end, you were doing things
three to four times better than you were
doing in the rst month.
When I rst showed up at the gym on the
rst day, I had no idea what I was getting
myself into. After that rst workout, I ques-
tioned whether I could survive two months
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. The Tampa Bay
Rays clinched the AL wild card with a stunning
rally Wednesday night, overcoming a late seven-
run decit and then beating the New York Yankees
8-7 on Evan Longorias home run in the 12th
inning.
The Rays win came four minutes after Boston
blew a one-run lead in the ninth at Baltimore and
lost 4-3, causing a roar at Tropicana Field.
The Red Sox, who held a nine-game lead over
the Rays in early September, and Tampa Bay
began the nal day of the regular season tied for
the wild card.
Longoria hit a three-run homer in the eighth that
capped a six-run burst. Pinch-hitter Dan Johnsons
two-out, two-strike solo homer in the ninth tied it
for Tampa Bay.
Longoria won it with a one-out shot barely
inside the left-eld foul pole, nishing the come-
back from a 7-0 margin.
Tampa Bay will open its best-of-ve playoff
matchup at Texas on Friday. The Yankees will host
Detroit in Game 1 Friday night.
Longoria connected off Scott Proctor (0-3) to
end it. Proctor was the Yankees11th pitcher of the
game they did not use all-
time career saves leader
Mariano Rivera, and Johnson
hit his tying shot off Cory
Wade.
The Yankees pulled their
regulars throughout the game
and nished with a lineup
that looked more like a
Triple-A team.
Moments before Tampa
Bay won, it looked as if Boston would instead be
going to the playoffs.
The Orioles were down to their last strike in the
ninth before scoring twice off Red Sox closer
Jonathan Papelbon.
The Rays, meanwhile, escaped a rst-and-third,
no-out jam in the 12th. Longoria made the key
play, elding a grounder at third and making a
snap tag to catch the runner diving back to the
back.
Mark Teixeira hit a grand slam off All-Star
David Price and a solo homer as the Yankees built
their big lead. The Rays sputtered against a parade
of New York pitchers, until the eighth. Longoria
homered off Luis Ayala to pull Tampa Bay within
a run.

HOUSTON Chris Carpenter and the St.
Louis Cardinals completed one of baseballs great-
est comebacks, clinching the NL wild card
Wednesday night with an 8-0 win over Houston
and a later loss by Atlanta.
The Cardinals got their playoff spot when the
Braves fell to Philadelphia 4-3 in 13 innings.
St. Louis trailed Atlanta by 10 1/2 games on
Aug. 25. The Cardinals won 23 of their last 31
games.
The Cardinals will open the postseason on
Saturday at NL East champion Philadelphia. In the
other NL playoff matchup, Arizona visits
Milwaukee.
Carpenter (11-9) struck out 11 and allowed two
hits in his 15th career complete-game shutout as
St. Louis kept up its improbable September
charge.
We had nothing to lose. We were already out of
it, Carpenter said. People were telling us we
were done. We decided to go out and play and not
embarrass ourselves and do what we can. We
played ourselves back into it.
The Cardinals poured onto the eld after
Carpenter elded J.D. Martinezs weak grounder
for the nal out. The celebra-
tion was brief and muted, as
the team raced into the club-
house to watch the end of the
game in Atlanta.
It was exciting, theres no
doubt about it, Carpenter
said. The way these guys
have played the past month
and a half has been amazing,
every single night grinding,
playing their butts off, not giving up.
We continued to give ourselves an opportunity
and now we are here.
The teams entered Wednesdays regular-season
nales with 89-72 records.
Atlantas game started an hour earlier, but the
Cardinals virtually took away any hope for a
Houston victory in the rst inning of their contest,
jumping to a 5-0 lead against Brett Myers (7-14).
Albert Pujols and Lance Berkman drove in runs
with singles, and David Freese doubled to left-cen-
ter before Myers even recorded an out. Berkman
scored when Skip Schumakers hard grounder ric-
ocheted off Myers glove for an ineld hit, and
Freese came home on Nick Puntos single to right.
Carpenter handled the rest.

BOARDMAN, Ohio Coach
Jim Harbaugh had the San Francisco
49ers pounding the pavement
Wednesday.
The 49ers offense went through a
brisk walkthrough on the concrete
parking lot at the teams hotel before
going to work for real at Stambaugh
Stadium on the campus of nearby
Youngstown State.
Its the best spot Ive found for a
walkthrough, Harbaugh said. I got
excited. It was a big slab of concrete
with lines on it. It was great.
The 49ers chose to stay in Ohio
after last Sundays game against
Cincinnati, a 13-8 Niners victory, to
practice for their upcoming game in
Philadelphia.
I like the part of changing the
routine, Harbaugh said.
Sometimes, the normal stuff sucks
the life out of everybody.
Here, we
have so many
opportunities as
it relates to
friendship. You
can get to know
two or three
things about
players, coach-
es, trainers.
Guys are not
heading to their cars and going
home. They are together, eating
meals, watching Monday Night
Football.
Harbaugh also wants the 49ers to
experience a little football tradition,
since the NFL was conceived in
1920 about 60 miles west in Canton.
Weve come back to the roots of
the 49ers, Harbaugh said. This is
football, the Canton Bulldogs right
down the street. Well see how good
a decision it is when we play
Sunday. Right now, though, we have
been treated like kings here.
Quarterback Alex Smith said the
49ers have bought into Harbaughs
family approach. While not return-
ing to California to practice may
appear unorthodox, Smith said it
gives the offense a chance to become
closer.
Theres no question we get to
focus on football, Smith said.
He said players often face distrac-
tions at home from family, friends or
just household responsibilities.
Wide receiver Joshua Morgan
likes the change of pace.
Its like training camp in col-
lege, Morgan said. Weve got one
thing to think about here, and thats
playing the Eagles on Sunday. Thats
good because they are a tough oppo-
nent.
The 49ers offense could use a lift,
especially if running back Frank
Gores sprained right ankle limits
him.
Gore was hurt
in the second
quarter in
C i n c i n n a t i .
Rookie Kendall
Hunter lled in,
scoring the deci-
sive touchdown
on a 7-yard-run.
Im not in his
body. My edu-
cated guess, knowing how tough he
is, is that he will play, Harbaugh
said.
Gore did not practice Wednesday.
Even with him, San Francisco ranks
29th in rushing at 69.7 yards a game.
Theyre not moving it through the
air, either.
The 49ers 74 passes are third-
fewest in the league. Smith was
sacked ve times by the Bengals and
struggled to move the ball until late.
Harbaugh considers the low-scor-
ing win an enjoyable defensive bat-
tle rather than a series of offensive
misplays.
That was football, he said.
Football is a struggle and it is
tough. If you enjoy struggles, then
you liked that game. I enjoyed
watching the tapes. Things can get
better when you know they are x-
able. There can be a lot of positives
on a negative play.
One area that may be due for a
change is at right guard. Starter
Chilo Rachal allowed two sacks and
had three penalties in the rst half.
Adam Snyder played most of the
second half, though Harbaugh said
he has yet to make a decision on
who will start against the Eagles.
Notes: Placekicker David Akers
spent the previous 12 years with the
Eagles, but says he has nothing to
prove to them. I have to prove
things for the 49ers, not them, said
Akers, who is 7 for 7 on eld goals
since signing with San Francisco.

OAKLAND Coach Hue Jackson spent
much of training camp telling people that
Oakland Raiders running back Darren
McFadden belonged in the conversation about
elite backs in the NFL.
McFadden has proven his coach right during
the rst three weeks of the season by leading
the league in rushing and proving that last
years breakout campaign was no uke for the
former No. 4 overall pick, who struggled his
rst two seasons.
Hes the best in football bar none, Jackson
said. Bar none.
After rushing for a career-high 171 yards
last week against a New York Jets defense that
is known for its stinginess against the run,
McFadden leads the NFL with 393 yards rush-
ing and is a major reason for the Raiders early
success this season.
The days of being overshadowed by higher-
prole backs like Adrian Peterson and fellow
2008 draftee Chris Johnson are long in the
past.
I guess two years ago I was a bust. Now
Im the best running back in the league. So its
something I really dont pay attention to,
McFadden said. I just keep going about it
how Ive been going, just going out there prac-
ticing hard and keep grinding.
McFaddens attitude hasnt changed since
his rst two ineffective years in the NFL but
his production sure has. After being picked 20
spots ahead of Johnson in 2008, he rushed for
just 856 yards and averaged only 3.9 yards per
carry while dealing with turf toe and shoulder
injuries.
He scored just one touchdown in 2009 and
had just one run of at least 20 yards during a
23-game stretch spanning his rst two seasons.
That all changed last year, when McFadden
nally showed the Raiders the skills he dis-
played in college at Arkansas, where he ran for
41 touchdowns in three seasons, including
nine that went for at least 50 yards.
That turnaround began when Jackson came
in as offensive coordinator and sat down with
McFadden before last season to nd out what
plays he likes to run.
He wanted to put you in a position that you
could make plays, McFadden said. He felt
like that was something they need to do, is ask
me what plays I like to do. I just told him what
I like to do, and hes going out there to put me
in a position to make plays and Im trying to
make those plays when the opportunity is pre-
sented.
McFadden has done that again this season
with a 47-yard run in the opener in Denver, the
70-yarder against the Jets and three other runs
of at least 20 yards to tie for the league lead in
explosive runs.
Hes able to get from
point A to point B faster
than anyone Ive seen,
quarterback Jason
Campbell said. He can
get in a hole and shift out
and make two guys miss
and get down the sideline.
Hes just as fast as some
of our receivers, and
everyone knows were a
fast bunch.
McFadden is also Oaklands leading receiv-
er with 11 catches for 84 yards and does a
good job picking up blitzes, which allows him
to stay on the eld in passing situations and
has earned him praise for being a complete
running back.
Offensive coordinator Al Saunders has com-
pared McFadden to greats he has coached in
the past like Marcus Allen, Marshall Faulk and
Priest Holmes.
Hes a special player, Saunders said. Hes
gifted, he brings such a dimension to any
team, Ive been fortunate to be around some
great running backs, but hes one of those guys
you put in that class. Hes a young kid that has
just tremendous speed and tremendous poten-
tial, he catches the ball extremely well and I
think he established what he is last year and
hes continuing to follow in that way this
year.
McFaddens ability opens up the eld for his
teammates as defenses key on Oaklands best
player. At one point against the Jets,
McFadden went in motion out wide to the left
side of the eld, bringing the cornerback with
him. That forced a linebacker to guard receiv-
er Derek Hagan, who took advantage of the
mismatch for a 13-yard catch.
That was payback for Hagans key down-
eld block on McFaddens 70-yard run earlier
in the game. Receiver Chaz Schilens also
made a big block down eld on the play that
started with tight end Kevin Boss seal at the
line of scrimmage.
Shoot, you block a guy for two seconds and
you look and hes 50 yards downeld, rookie
guard Stefen Wisniewski said. It makes our
job easy. Sometimes we make him look good,
we open a big hole, and other times we miss a
couple of people but he makes us look good
anyway. So it works out well for everybody.

SAN FRANCISCO Each of the San
Francisco Giants walked back onto the eld
after the nal out and gathered near the pitching
mound to offer their gratitude.
What a drastically different encore than a
year ago. No follow-up postseason run for the
defending World Series champions to provide
an extra month of thrilling baseball for the Bay
Area.
Kevin Kouzmanoff had three hits and drove
in two runs, and the Colorado Rockies sent the
Giants into an early offseason, beating San
Francisco 6-3 on Wednesday.
This series, we werent in it and we knew we
were at home, but one of the most impressive
things Ive seen in baseball were the fans in this
series. We felt this was a playoff type of situa-
tion, thats how much they were into it, man-
ager Bruce Bochy said. Its really overwhelm-
ing to see that kind of support.
Even if the Giants didnt win on the last day
here the way they did last September to capture
that elusive division crown in dramatic fashion.
Even if most of the regulars were on the bench
or nursing injuries.
Drew Pomeranz (2-1) outpitched fellow
rookie Eric Surkamp (2-2) in their second
matchup in two weeks and Jordan Pacheco
added a pair of RBI singles for the Rockies,
who snapped a seven-game losing streak to the
Giants.
San Francisco (86-76) wound up in second
place in the NL West behind playoff-bound
Arizona, becoming the rst defending champi-
on not to make the playoffs since the 2007 St.
Louis Cardinals.
This year, the remaining castoffs and mists
who grabbed everybodys hearts last October
couldnt get it done in San Franciscos quest to
repeat.
That didnt keep the sellout crowd of 41,873
from taking every last chance to cheer the 2010
champs.
Mark DeRosa hit a two-run single in what
was likely his last game for the Giants.
If I can keep playing, Im going to keep
doing that, DeRosa said. If I cant, Im going
to take a break and be a stay-at-home dad for a
minute.
Departing Giants managing partner Bill
Neukom received a rousing standing ovation
and a THANK YOU BILL tribute on the cen-
ter-eld scoreboard before the seventh inning.
Newly promoted CEO Larry Baer likely will
begin discussions soon with general manager
Brian Sabean about a contract extension.
Pat Burrell, contemplating retirement if his
troublesome right foot doesnt fully heal, ran in
from left eld to a standing ovation before the
start of the seventh. An emotional Burrell
hugged and high-ved his teammates and came
back out of the dugout for a curtain call, waving
to the fans while ghting tears.
Giants end season with loss to Rockies
Rockies 6, Giants 3
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Alpha Beacon Christian Schools vol-
leyball season has begun and ttingly
enough, its taken the form of a great rally
point in a game.
There have been ups, downs, challenges,
teamwork and excitement; most of which has
come with the instability that shook the Lady
Lions before they took a single step on a vol-
leyball court this year.
For a while, there were questions about
whether Alpha would have an academic year,
much less a volleyball team.
Alpha Beacon was moved from their home
of seven years in San Mateo by the San Mateo
School District when Fiesta Elementary
School occupied their address temporarily
while renovations and upgrades were made to
the elementary school. Alpha Beacon
searched all summer long for a place to hold
classes, eventually splitting up campuses,
with the elementary School staying at Bayside
Middle School in San Mateo and the high
school at The Church of the Highlands in San
Bruno.
If all this sounds a little confusing, you can
only imagine the toll it took on the students
and athletes who, until Sept. 10, had no idea
where they would be getting their education.
Despite the mental strain on the 10 girls that
make up the Lady Lions, Alpha Beacons vol-
leyball team has shown tremendous resilience.
Theyve taken adversity and converted it into
a 13-0 record to start the season, including a
perfect 4-0 start in the Bay Area Christian
Christian League.
Not having a place for the school, obvi-
ously its a great statement about the families
that stuck with us and took a tremendous walk
of faith on their part, said Alpha Beacon head
coach Chris Chu. One of the most important
things that I thought I had to do was to start
our preseason right on time. So, even though
we didnt have a school site, I have having
practice starting in the middle of August.
Alpha Beacon has leased out a gym in
Redwood Shores and, We been having prac-
tices since then, to give the kids a sense of
normalcy, Chu said. We have a good group
of girls, with good attitudes and good charac-
ter especially this year.
The Lady Lions have experienced success
despite losing two seniors from last seasons
championship squad, as well as three impact
players.
Still, those Lady Lions that have persevered
are the ones that truly love the program and
enjoying playing volleyball while wearing the
Alpha Beacon uniform.
Its been crazy, Chu said. I hope we
never have to do through another year like
this. But, its been a year of growth. When you
are taken out of your comfort zone, when you
start losing things, thats when you really start
growing. They really believe in the value of
the school. And for us, its not just about the
high level of academics, but also character
training.
Already winners in the mental game, the
Lady Lions have shown they have some solid
talent on the court as well. Theyre led by
players like Sarah Chu, Lisandre Meyer,
Kaelah Velisano and Ally Legaspi.
The team looks to them for emotional and
spiritual leadership, Chu said. Theyre real-
ly tough and theyre leaders on the court.
When the going gets tough, theyre right there
to step it up and go the extra mile for the
team.
Velisano leads the team with 18 kills in four
games. Meyer, Chu and Stephanie Mao are
also in double digits with 14. Legaspi leads
the team in assists with 31. Velisano and Chu
have 17 and 18 assists respectively. They also
have double digit aces with 12 apiece. Legaspi
has 10.
Alpha Beacon thriving despite adversity

players to stick with the school despite
questions of where they would actually go to
school this year.

of intense workout. As Daily Journal copy
editor and photographer Erik Oeverndiek
said after shooting me during one of those
early workouts: What I do is exercise. What
you do is a workout.
I thought it was going to be a tough
road, Silva said Wednesday, upon meeting
me for the rst time. But (you) just showing
up showed me it was going to go pretty well.
The hardest part is showing up.
Most people dont have any idea how hard
it was for me just to show up. Living on the
outskirts of Alameda County in the East Bay,
getting to gym was no simple driving down
the street. I had to plan for the days I went to
my workouts: from getting my daughter off
to school, to packing my gym bag, to making
sure I made time to clean up the house as
much as I could and then going straight to
the Daily Journal ofces
after a grueling one-hour
workout, I had to mental-
ly prepare myself to leave
the house at 11 a.m.,
knowing I probably
wouldnt be home until
12 hours later.
Once I got to the gym
and started my training,
however, all that other
stuff went away. I credit a lot of my mental
success to Silva, who, while not to the same
extent, was in the same boat I was when he
started training. It was his physical transfor-
mation that led him to want to help others. A
substance abuse counselor by trade, Silva
went on to become a certied personal train-
er who also works the corners with Croft
when one of Crofts ghters is ghting.
I started working out with Eddie when the
gym rst opened (about three years ago),
Silva said. I started training muy thai with
Paul Brown. Paul really inspired me. I
thought I was in shape. I tried to get in shape
before I went to [B Street Boxing]. I would
see Eddie and say, I jogged a couple miles
on the beach. I did 20 pushups and 50
crunches, and he would just laugh.
I weighed 190 pounds when I started
there and got down to 165. I never thought I
would weigh as much as I did my senior year
in high school. I was not a poster child for
health. What I thought was t was really
skewed.
Because Silva was not a lifetime tness
end, it made it easier to relate to him. He
knows how hard it is to transform ones body
through intense exercise. He understands
when a person pushes themselves to fail and
he knows when to back off and let them
recover.
The changes come slow, Silva said.
They come when the individual nally gets
it on their own. Each person has individ-
ual goals. The client knows what the
answer is, I just try to facilitate it.
I had no set goals when I hooked up with
Silva and B Street Boxing. My main goals
were to lose some weight and strengthen my
core. Now its up to me to maintain if not
continue to lose weight until winter rolls
around again and I have my rematch with
skiing.
No more snowboarding. I dont want to
take the time to learn. I used to ski a lot and
gure that will be much easier to pick up
again than learning a whole new sport.
Working out with the B Street crew was a
way for me to reconnect to the long dormant
athlete in me.
You looked like someone who got off
track, Silva said. There are a lot of guys,
35 (years old) and up, who dont think they
can do this.
If I can do it, anyone can do it. Thanks
Fred.

The second quarter was much more defensive,
but the Bells continued to bury the Padres a little
deeper as soon as Smallman scored his second
goal of the game with 5:02 left in the quarter.
Con OLeary found his way onto the scoring
sheet just before the half when he scored with 21
seconds left. Still, Bellarmine led 8-4.
Serra got doubled-up in the third quarter,
behind the efciency of the Bells on the man
advantage. Smallman scored both of Serras
goals, but by that time, the match was all but
over.
The Padres were denied on all six of their shot
attempts in the nal period, with the Bells adding
a couple more to reach their nal tally.
Were a good team, Greene said. Right now,
Bellarmine is better than we are. We will be able
to compete with them at the end of the season.
We will get in the classroom, watch our mistakes,
and we will cut down on our errors. We need to
get a little more physical with those guys, we
need to nish on offense. Our defense will be
there. Were young. Theyre still trying to mesh
together. Talent is talent and we have talented
kids. Were going to get better as a season goes
along. I want to play them again.
SERRA
By Michael Marot
INDIANAPOLIS As a growing number
of schools play musical chairs with confer-
ences, NCAA President Mark Emmert says he
is concerned about the perception that money
is driving the decisions and declared this is
not the NFL, the NBA, its not a business.
Instead, Emmert is urging school presidents
to consider factors besides revenue when
choosing conference afliation.
I think what came across (with realign-
ment) is that all we care about is money and
what we can do that is to our advantage,
Emmert said in an interview Wednesday with
The Associated Press. Nobody was talking
about what this is going to do for student-ath-
letes or intercollegiate athletic programs. It
was all about lets make a deal.
Emmert understands the urge, perhaps even
the necessity, for schools to do something.
Nobody wants to give up a potentially big
payday, and nobody wants to be left without a
seat when the music stops playing.
Before leaving the University of Washington
to take the NCAA job last October, Emmert
participated in the same sort of discussion with
his Pac-10 colleagues. Emmert and the others
eventually voted to accept
two new members,
Colorado and Utah, which
allowed the conference to
add a football title game as
another moneymaker.
Theres nothing wrong
with nding more revenue,
Emmert said, as long as it
is used properly and does-
nt add to the perception
that college sports is all about the bottom line.
We shouldnt say money isnt important,
he said. It is very important to fund intercol-
legiate athletics because universities can no
longer afford to take money out of their regu-
lar budgets to subsidize sports. Moneys not
evil. Its what you do with the money thats
evil.
Skeptics can point in almost any direction to
illustrate their point that college sports is big
businesses.
In April 2010, the NCAA signed a $10.8 bil-
lion television contract with CBS and TNT to
televise the mens basketball tournament. The
NCAA says more than 90 percent of that
money will go directly back to schools.
Bowl games generate tens of millions of dol-
lars for participating teams, which are then
divvied up among all of the teams in the
league. And some conferences have started
their own television networks, which pump
millions into athletic department budgets, and
many schools have spent millions more on
their facilities in the recruiting race.
Thats only part of the equation.
School leaders are debating proposals that
would cover an athletes full cost of atten-
dance, money that would go beyond the cost of
tuition, room and board, fees and books. The
hope is to lessen the temptation of being inu-
enced by outsiders offering money or benets
that run afoul of NCAA rules.
Conference realignment cropped up last
year when the Big 12 lost Nebraska (Big Ten)
and Colorado. That prompted other changes
and things really took off recently when the
ACC announced it was accepting Syracuse and
Pittsburgh from the Big East and Texas A&M
announced plans to leave the Big 12 for the
Southeastern Conference.
Critics fear the changes could lead to a hand-
ful of 16-team superconferences that could
break away from the NCAA or dictate looser
rules to stay competitive.
Though Emmert has no authority to dictate
school decisions about conferences, he is try-
ing to redirect the conversation.
NCAA: Realignment should be about more than money

Fall is upon us, and for most of us this means
the gardening season is beginning to wind
down. But by no means write off the possibili-
ty of beautiful blooms. Fortunately, there are a
few plants that wait until fall to look their best
and without them my garden would look
tired at this time of year.
Salvias are some of my favorite fall blooming
plants. Barely noticeable all summer long, they
spend the hot sunny days of July and August
growing taller and blending into the back-
ground while other annuals take center stage.
Once the days start to shorten and their garden
neighbors begin to slow down or give up the
ghost altogether, salvias begin to bloom, giving
the garden a much needed infusion of color.
Producing long sprays of vibrant tubular shaped
owers, their rich saturated colors range from
deep wine red to royal purple and indigo blue.
There are dozens of garden-worthy salvias
including some that bloom during the summer.
Three of my favorites for fall color are Salvia
vanhouttei, Salvia Indigo Spires, and Salvia
Purple Majesty.
Salvia vanhouttei is best grown in a bit of
shade where it can have some relief from the
hot midday sun. For most of the summer it will
look rather unimpressive, growing to a height of
two and a half to three feet tall with dark green
heart-shaped leaves.
Sometime around mid- to late September,
this plant goes from being a wallower to the
life of the party, bursting into bloom with long
spires of deep red owers emerging from wine-
red bracts. The owers are produced on the tips
of every stem, creating an impressive oral dis-
play.
S a l v i a
I n d i g o
Spires is
aptly named.
As the sum-
mer winds
down this
salvia is just
beginning to
wind up, attaining a height of four feet when
grown in full sun and rich garden soil.
Producing arching wand-like stems up to two
feet long and covered in deep indigo blue ow-
ers, Indigo Spires puts on an impressive display
right up until frost.
Salvia Purple Majesty starts its show later
than the others, seeming to wait until almost all
other garden plants have stopped blooming.
This salvia spends the summer growing to three
feet tall before bursting forth with a multitude
of royal purple tube-shaped owers in late
September and early October. Hummingbirds
love this plant, and in my zone 6b garden it is a
valuable source of late-season nectar for these
amazing little birds as they make their way
south each fall to their winter feeding grounds.
One of the last owers to bloom in my gar-
den, and usually well after the salvias are done,
is a little known chrysanthemum called
Shefeld Pink. This hardy mum goes virtually
unnoticed in the garden all summer long.
Requiring only a sunny location, this carefree
perennial will reward you year after year with a
spectacular display of soft salmon-pink, daisy-
shaped owers late in the season.
If you nd your fall garden lacking color,
dont throw in the trowel. Instead plant a few
late bloomers like salvias or some perennial
chrysanthemums, and extend your gardening
season for as long as you can.
Late-season bloomers keep the garden going

everywhere we look this season, theres some
sort of pouf.
While ottomans tend to be more structured,
with a solid form and usually some legs, poufs
or hassocks are actually just big upholstered
cushions, and arent usually used as tables the
way ottomans often are.
But poufs are the perfect squishy footrest,
and thus suit family rooms or relaxed living
rooms. Easily moved about, they make great
extra seating.
With a versatile, portable accessory like
this, you can afford to play a little. Look for
unusual designs, colorful hues and interesting
shapes; poufs add a nice punch to a space for
not a lot of money, unless you choose some-
thing by a designer.
If you want the genuine Moroccan-made
article, check out Tazi Designs and Living
Morocco. Tazi has an array of colorful leather
poufs with a Moorish motif. A black leather
one features white silk stitching; a bronze
leather one is equally dramatic. Living
Morocco has several striking models in black
and red, or green and white. From Morocco
With Love has several affordable versions in
supple rainbow hues; check out their website
for an interesting lm showing Fez artisans at
work.
Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola has cre-
ated a beautiful, albeit pricey collection of
sprawl-worthy giant poufs covered in her pop-
ular Mangas pattern; the word means
sweater, and with their nubby knitted wool
texture, the pieces do look cozy.
Janet Shea, an interior designer in Hanover,
Mass., likes the versatility and user-friendli-
ness of poufs. She likes them in a living room,
but loves putting them in kids spaces.
Ive used them in a couple of preteen girls
rooms Ive worked on. Theyre great for
lounging, watching TV and playing video
games, Shea said. So much better than sit-
ting on the bed or oor.
Design rm FiveTimesOne has a cool group
of felted Merino wool poufs that look like pol-
ished travertine, marble, and stone pebbles
and boulders; in a contemporary space, theyd
be standout pieces.
Poufs are great if youve got toddlers
theyre cruising-friendly, and fun to op over.
John Derian offers Moroccan poufs in bright
hues such as turquoise, sunshine and violet.
Homegoods offers a big comfy marshmallow
pouf thats covered in soft candy pink loops
perfect for a girls room. Theyve got some
snazzy embellished Indian-sari-style poufs,
too, that any college girl would love.
Restoration Hardware has a Union Jack
upholstered cube pouf that packs a mod
graphic punch but would also be at home in a
traditional setting.
Some poufs come lled, but you can use
just about anything to ll the cover old
clothing, sheets, newspaper or purchased
foam trimmed to size.

Extreme weather
makes portable
generators a hit
By Michael Hill
Alex Iwashyna didnt realize how many of
her neighbors in Richmond, Va., had backup
generators until her own family bought one in
the dark days after Hurricane Irene. As she
endured the drone of a combustion engine in
her backyard, she noticed the same steady
noise from neighbors homes.
I mean we joke about preparing for the
apocalypse and stuff, Iwashyna said. Weve
had an earthquake, a hurricane and a wildre
in Virginia ... it would have never occurred to
me to get one until we lost power for that
amount of time.
Homeowners around the nation have
endured a nasty run of power-disrupting
storms, and sales of portable power generators
have been brisk, industry ofcials say. The
big box stores such as Lowes and Wal-Mart
did not release sales information, but accord-
ing to one manufacturer, Briggs & Stratton
Corp., Irene led to a spike in sales. While
things have slowed since then, we are contin-
uing to see an uptick in demand, said Briggs
spokeswoman Laura Timm.
In some places, the drone of generators is
becoming as common during blackouts as
lawnmowers are on summer Saturdays.
I think weve gotten into a pattern of more
severe weather events, whether its snow or
ice or rain or wind, youre just losing power,

Equipment Institute, a trade group. And I think
people are more comfortable now with, Hey,
my neighbor has this generator and maybe I
should try it next year.
In this year alone, a snowstorm crippled
Washington, D.C.; Joplin, Mo., was devastated
by a tornado; record-high water levels created
havoc along the lower Mississippi from
Missouri to Louisiana; and Texas was ravaged
by wildres. The insurance company Munich
Re counted 98 natural disasters in the United
States in the rst six months of 2011, about dou-
ble the average of the 1990s.
A lot of this extreme weather snaps power
lines. Irene knocked out power to more than 9
million customers along the East Coast. A big
snowstorm in the bustling Northeast corridor
can easily cut power to more than 100,000. The
recent wildres interrupted power to several
thousand. And its not just storms that cause
blackouts; investigators are looking into
whether a utility worker doing a minor repair
job led to roughly 6 million customers in
Arizona, California and Mexico losing power
this month.
As the U.S. electrical grid ages, the number
of power outages affecting more than 50,000
customers more than doubled between 2005
and 2009 when compared to the previous ve-
year period, according to Massoud Amin, direc-
tor of the Technological Leadership Institute at
the University of Minnesota.
Enter the generator.
In Trumbull, Conn., Debi Norton was without
power for a day and waiting in line at Home
Depot to buy ice when she overheard a town
ofcial say that Irene had hit her neighborhood
so hard that electricity would not be restored
until that weekend.
I said, Four more days without power?And
I saw the generators
lined up
on pal-
lets, and
I said,
Y o u
k n o w
what? I
can do
this.
Norton
s p e n t
a r o u n d
$600 on
one of the
l a s t
por t a bl e
generat ors
left in the store.
Thats a typical price,
though portable generators
can run to more than $1,000
depending on power and fea-
tures. Larger standby generators that run on
propane or natural gas can cost much more.
A generator with enough juice can handle a
refrigerator, a furnace, lights and more. Norton
not only kept her food from spoiling but
plugged in her computer to play DVDs for her
son. Iwashyna used some of her power to run
her trash compactor.
Though unsuitable for apartment dwellers
because of the exhaust, todays compact units
are more family-friendly than the rumbling
machines of yesteryear. Some
start with a key
rather than a
pull cord.
H o n d a
claims its
q u i e t e r
generators
are no
louder than
n o r m a l
speech.
O f
c o u r s e ,
many gen-
erators are
louder than
that.
The noise
is mind-
numbing ... in
the whole neighbor-
hood, you can hear them, Norton
said. It seemed like every third house pretty
much had a generator, or got one.
In one extreme case of generator stress during
the Southwests recent blackout, a 45-year-old
Orange County, Calif., man was arrested after
the noise from a neighbors generator allegedly
prompted him to beat the neighbor with a ash-
light.
Other neighbors complain of the smell of
burning fuel.
In Richmond, Iwashyna, a mother of two who
blogs at lateenough.com, worried about
whether the noise would bug her neighbors.
That was one of my Facebook and Twitter
questions to my friends: What is the etiquette?
Iwashyna said. Were in the city but we have a
yard and were pretty close to our neighbors.
She and her husband turned off their genera-
tor at night. Norton turned her machine off peri-
odically so she and her neighbors could get a
break. Norton also performed one other act of
gracious generator etiquette when she allowed
her neighbor to run a cord to his refrigerator.
Despite the noise, Norton is happy with the
generator. It gave her peace of mind caring for
her son and she was able to enjoy hot coffee.
Some climate scientists say that extreme
storms are increasingly likely, partly because of
global warming. And forecasters say the Pacic
Ocean climate phenomenon La Nina, which
contributed to extreme weather around the
globe during the rst half of this year, has re-
emerged and is expected to gradually strength-
en and continue into winter.
Im sure Im going to use it again, Norton
said of her generator. Its not a matter of if. Its
a matter of when.

school administrators association. These
cuts violate Prop 98 and are clearly unconsti-
tutional.
The named defendants are the state of
California as well as the state controller,
director of nance and superintendent of pub-
lic instruction.
In response to the lawsuit, H.D.
Palmer, a spokesman for the state
Department of Finance spokesman, said:
We believe the courts will find that the
actions the Legislature took in this mat-
ter are legal and appropriate.
Palmer said K-12 schools are receiving
about the same amount of funding this scal
year as they did in the last scal year, while
other programs were cut signicantly to close
the states $26 billion budget decit.
Carlos Garcia, superintendent of the San
Francisco school district, said his district is
receiving $20 million less than it is owed
under the state funding formula. That money
could be used to restore four cut school days,
reduce class sizes, buy new textbooks and
restore staff development.
Weve gotten to the point where weve
trimmed everything, and were not going to
put up with it anymore, Garcia said. There
is no easy way out of this nancial crisis, but
they cannot continue to put the burden of this
crisis on the future of California its chil-
dren.
California was also sued Wednesday by
advocates for the developmentally disabled
who claim the state has underfunded services
for 245,000 residents.
Nancy Lungren, spokeswoman for the
California Department of Developmental
Services, said given the size of the budget
shortfall, difcult decisions are needed.

KABUL, Afghanistan The monthly aver-
age of armed clashes, roadside bombings and
other violence in Afghanistan is running 39
percent ahead of last years figure, U.N.
reported Wednesday, with more complex sui-
cide operations involving multiple bombers
and gunmen.
The statistics show that the intensity of the
nearly decade-old war is growing, not abating,
as the U.S. and other nations start to withdraw
some forces with an eye toward pulling all
combat troops out by the end of 2014. The
Talibans resilience raises questions about
whether the Afghan government and its
Western allies have a solid grip on security
and whether the Afghan forces can ever secure
the nation by themselves.
NATO says it has made progress in taming
the Taliban insurgency by routing its strong-
holds in the south. But the Taliban have hit
back with several high-prole attacks in the
capital and assassinations of government of-
cials and senior Afghan leaders.

SANTA ROSA Forget the cellar; every-
day wines are meant to be poured, not stored.
Which has led a handful of wineries to turn to
the rellable approach in hopes of putting a
cork in their bottles environmental impact.
Or, as Idaho vintner Stephen Meyer puts it,
Think green, drink red.
Meyer is president and winemaker at Pend
DOreille Winery in Sandpoint, Idaho, where
a red blend called Bistro Rouge is sold in 1.5-
liter glass bottles that customers can bring
back, well washed, and get a rell at a dis-
count from the regular price.
Its turned out to be just an
awesome program, Meyer says.
Its a good deal for the customer,
but more importantly its taking
solid waste out of the landlls.
The winery rells about 350 bot-
tles a month quite high consid-
ering Sandpoints population is
about 8,000 and the pro-
gram has proved so popular
theyve added a white blend,
Bistro Blanc.
One winery has booted the
bottle altogether.
The NPA (Natural Process
Alliance) winery in Santa
Rosa sells its wines in Kleen
Kanteens, a BPA-free stain-
less steel bottle more com-
monly used for water.
We wanted to have a pack-
age that was as clean as what
we consider our farming and
our winemaking to be, says
Hardy Wallace, who handles
sales and marketing for the
winery.
Wine from The NPA is
made with minimal interven-
tion, and no tweaking or overt
manipulation of the grapes.
As part of that philosophy, the
wines are sold only within a
100-mile radius. Wallace
drops off a little more than 100
Kanteens a week, including many to restau-
rants in nearby San Francisco.
Why steel?
Its easier to clean and tougher than glass,
says Wallace. We havent had to retire one
yet.
The wines sold in Kleen Kanteens are meant
to be drunk young. We really want our cus-
tomers to think of them almost as they would
dairy, he says.
Wallace doesnt have a picturesque dairy
cart. But he has spray painted milk crates to
use for his deliveries.
Relling wine bottles is common in Europe.
So far, the rellable approach isnt widespread
in the United States, but Meyers heard
from a number of wineries in
California who think its a great idea
and are interested in doing it.
There are some issues with rell-
ables. For one thing, a regular label
wont survive the washing process.
Pend dOreille gets around that by using
a silkscreened label. And while the
system works well for direct-from-
winery sales, we havent solved
quite how we could take it into a
larger format, like a grocery store,
Meyer says.
The process is intended for a
drink now kind of wine. Like the
other wineries using refillables,
Pend dOreille is still putting its
premium wines the kind that
age well in one-time-use bot-
tles.
At the Daven Lore Winery in
Washington states Yakima Valley,
owner-winemaker Gordon Taylor
started a rellable program two
years ago. He sells a red specif-
ically, Recovery Red (We dont
believe in recessions, only recover-
ies, says Taylor) and distrib-
utes the 1-liter bottles at local
farmers markets and retail outlets.
Customers bring back washed
bottles, which are taken to the win-
ery for thorough cleaning and
relling, and get a discount on a
lled bottle.
Refillables make for
greener wine bottles

is attempting to return while business
owner and former Millbrae police com-
mander Marc Farber, Planning
Commissioners Lorrie Kalos-Gunn and
Wayne Lee, and Realtor Anne Oliva are
trying to join the council for the rst
time. The Daily Journal met with ve
candidates in person and spoke with
Kalos-Gunn by phone Wednesday as
part of the endorsement process.
Candidates agree nances are an issue
for the city which is creating challenges
in other areas like maintaining an inde-
pendent police department.
For a number of years, Millbrae has
shared a police chief with San Bruno.
Recently, San Bruno requested to have
its full-time chief back. As a result,
Millbrae is considering if services
should have its own department, which
would cost an additional $400,000, or
contract services with the Sheriffs
Ofce.
Gottschalk, Farber and Lee strongly
supported the city keeping its own
department. Farber wanted to see rev-
enue generated by the police department
through fees or tickets to be used
to fund the department. Gottschalk rec-
ognized nances are an issue. He pre-
ferred keeping a separate city depart-
ment but recognized that may not be an
option.
Oliva and Colapietro were not as clear.
Oliva simply wants a decision which
would allow the department to begin
working on boosting morale and credi-
bility. Colapietro is keeping an open
mind and hoping for a decision that does
not require cutting other positions.
Funding the additional cost has been
said to come in the form of cutting up to
eight employees for other areas. Kalos-
Gunn was troubled no one has asked
which employees would need to be let
go to make that decision. Looking long
term, Kalos-Gunn sees Millbrae either
partnering with or contracting out for
police services due to nancial con-
straints.
Finances are affecting other areas of
the city.
All candidates pointed to a need to be
conservative about income and hopeful-
ly nding ways to boost revenue. Most
candidates thought supporting develop-
ment was the key. Millbrae has long
eyed the eight-acre site around the
Caltrain and BART station called Site
One. A vision for mixed use has long
been in place but a variety of reasons,
coupled with the downturn in the econo-
my, have kept the large redevelopment
dreams on hold.
Colapietro and Gottschalk were
against splitting up the property to move
it along while Lee and Farber thought
small pieces may be the best way to
inspire growth quickly. Kalos-Gunn was
open to either as long as the vision of
creating mixed use development that
will provide housing and tax revenue
was achieved.
All agreed mixed use was the way to
go. Oliva wanted to see a portion of that
be in the form of ofce space which, she
hoped, could be used to get biotech or
high-tech companies to move into the
area. Such a business, Oliva argued,
would provide people in the area who
would support smaller local businesses.
Gottschalk disagreed. He wanted the
development to focus on revenue-gener-
ating ideas.
Gottschalk and Kalos-Gunn agreed
the process for developments needed to
be changed. Both noted it takes busi-
nesses too long to get started, a change
both saw as one that could boost rev-
enue.

Ofcers went to the neighborhood and
spotted a dark-colored Land Rover and
tried to pull it over, but the driver sped
away, she said.
A brief chase followed, ending when
the Land Rover struck the motorcyclist
while traveling the wrong way on
University Avenue, Barries said.
The motorcyclist was pronounced dead
at the scene. His name has not been
released but Barries said he was an adult
male. Police detained several people in the
Land Rover for questioning, and arrested
the driver, identied by Barries as 46-
year-old Eric Banford, of East Palo Alto.
Barries said Banford has an extensive
criminal history.
She said the Police Department will
investigate the circumstances of the chase
and crash.
Our basic protocol is to conduct an
investigation not only on the actual crime
itself but on the pursuit, Barries said.
She said it appears the chase lasted less
than 30 seconds, and that investigators
will review footage from cameras inside
the police cars involved.
There was speculation that this morn-
ings second accident could have been
related to the street closures prompted by
the rst crash, but Barries said that
appears not to be the case.
The deaths have shaken the community.
Its a tragic event, both the motorcycle
accident and the [child], East Palo Alto
Mayor Carlos Romero said.
Ravenswood City School District board
member Saree Mading said district of-
cials sent out an email updating faculty
and staff on the situation.
Its a small community. I know the
teacher personally, Mading said.
Grief counselors were being made
available to students, faculty and staff,
Mading said.
ACCIDENT
departments and that option B was the
worst because of the shell.
Im not comfortable weve looked at
other ways to reduce the jail population,
Pine said. Jail facilities are already well
past capacity and the county is also
preparing for a massive realignment of
prisoners from the state to the county.
The county is expected to absorb an
additional 240 to 350 new inmates from
the state in the coming year.
We have lived in a constant state of
overcrowding and it limits our ability to
provide effective programming, Munks
told the rest of the board yesterday.
Program space has been taken away for
bunks, the sheriff said, due to overcrowd-
ing.
The new jail facility is expected to cost
$145 million to $160 million to construct
and about $25 million a year to maintain.
Munks is urging the board to make a
decision soon to avoid escalating costs
related to building the jail and to apply for
up to $300 million in state grants for jail
construction.
Supervisors next meet Oct. 4 when they
are expected to make a nal decision on a
jail option.
But Pine made it clear yesterday he
would not side with the boards seeming-
ly preferred option.
Pine asked Munks whether the county
would ever get serious about electronic
monitoring for inmates since only three
inmates currently have the devices.
Munks said the devices should not be
used, however, just to depopulate the jail.
We will have to do more electronic
monitoring because we are not building a
big enough jail, Munks said.
During testimony from the public,
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe, judges
Beth Freeman and Mark Forcum and the
top ofcial in the countys private defend-
er program, John Digiacinto, all offered
support for Munks effort to build a new
jail.

By Kim Gamel
TRIPOLI, Libya Libyas new rulers
believe Moammar Gadha may be hiding in
the southern desert under the protection of
ethnic Tuareg ghters, while two of his sons
are holed up in cities besieged by revolution-
ary forces elsewhere in the North African
nation, ofcials said Wednesday.
Anti-Gadhafi fighters gained control of
Tripoli and much of the rest of the country late
last month, but the longtime Libyan ruler and
his family ed and have been trying to rally
supporters from hiding as ghting continues
on three fronts Gadhas hometown of
Sirte, Bani Walid and the southern city of
Sabha.
Col. Ahmed Bani, the military spokesman
for the National Transitional Council, which is
now governing the country, said he couldnt
confirm any information about Gadhafis
whereabouts but he could say that Gadhas
son, Seif al-Islam, is in Bani Walid and anoth-
er son Muatassim is in Sirte.
Although Bani offered no evidence and did
not elaborate, it was the rst ofcial conrma-
tion that the revolutionary forces believe they
know the location of the two sons since the
family ed after Tripoli fell.
Obama admin approves
two solar loans worth $1B
WASHINGTON The Energy Department
on Wednesday approved two loan guarantees
worth more than $1 billion for solar energy proj-
ects in Nevada and Arizona, two days before the
expiration date of a program that has become a
rallying cry for Republican critics of the Obama
administrations green energy program.
Energy Secretary Steven Chu said the depart-
ment has completed a $737 million loan guaran-
tee to Tonopah Solar Energy for a 110 megawatt
solar tower on federal land near Tonopah, Nev.,
and a $337 million guaran-
tee for Mesquite Solar 1 to
develop a 150 megawatt
solar plant near Phoenix.
The loans were approved
under the same program
that paid for a $528 million
loan to Solyndra Inc., a
California solar panel
maker that went bankrupt
after receiving the money
and laid off 1,100 workers.
