Jurors deliberated less than full
day before convicting a former
San Francisco 49er of misde-
meanor domestic violence against
his ex-boyfriend who was left with
broken facial bones after a dispute
last year over table manners and
underwear at a Menlo Park Chinese
food restaurant
Kwame Harris defense never dis-
puted he threw punches but
claimed it was self-defense.
The misdemeanor conviction
splits the difference between the
acquittal sought by defense attor-
neys who argued the victim
Dimitri Geier started the physical
altercation and the more serious
felonies sought by a prosecution
who asked
jurors to consid-
er who used the
greater force.
Harris was
charged with
felony domestic
violence and
assault using
force but prose-
cutor Brian
Donnellan added the misdemeanor
alternatives on Friday.
The jury deliberated about 35
minutes that afternoon without
verdicts and returned Monday to
continue weighing the evidence.
Just after 2 p.m., the jury acquitted
Harris of the felonies and found
him guilty of misdemeanor counts

The former officers and direc-
tors of Lehman Brothers will pay
San Mateo County $5.2 million
to settle a lawsuit filed after the
Wall Street firms bankruptcy
leeched more than $155 million
from the local investment pool
five years ago.
The settle-
ment with San
Mateo County
and seven other
plaintiffs is a
total of $9.75
million of
which the
county will
receive 69.5 percent minus its
legal fee to attorney Joe Cotchett,
said County Manager John
Maltbie.
I was pleased. So many people
and so many lives were hurt in this
thing. This is just a small
although inadequate way to recoup
some of it, Maltbie said.
After Lehman collapsed, the
county was told it would be lucky
to get a dime on the dollar in bank-
ruptcy. Instead, Maltbie said by
waiting the county did better than
we thought.
Aspecic amount of bankruptcy
funds was not available but
Maltbie said it, coupled with the
recent legal settlement and a pos-
sible settlement in a still-pending
suit against Lehmans auditors,
could well put the county in the 40
percent to 60 percent recovery
range.
The plaintiffs percentages in
the suit against the Lehman execu-
tives were determined by the

Alligator found under
escalator at Chicago airport
CHICAGO A small alligator
found under an escalator at Chicagos
OHare International Airport has left
authorities puzzled.
A maintenance worker discovered
the alligator, which is about a foot
long, on Friday in Terminal 3,
Chicago Police spokesman Jose
Estrada said Sunday.
An ofcer captured the reptile by
putting a trash can over it.
We dont know where it came from
or how long itd been residing in the
airport facilities, Estrada said. Its
one of those random incidents.
The gator is now being cared for by
the Chicago Herpetological Society.
It was in pretty bad shape, said
Jason Hood, the groups president.
Were trying to get it healthy and nd
a place for it.
He said the gator would likely head
to an out-of-state alligator farm once
authorities give the organization the
all-clear to release the animal.
No one was injured.
Motorcycle recovered in
California 46 years after theft
LOS ANGELES Authorities say a
Nebraska man is getting his motorcy-
cle back 46 years after it was stolen
from his backyard.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
said Monday the black and blue 1953
Triumph Tiger 100 was recovered last
week at the Port of Los Angeles. It was
on its way to Japan, with its value list-
ed as $9,000.
The bike was reported stolen in
February 1967. It was worth $300
then and wasnt insured.
The California Highway Patrol will
return the bike to its original owner,
who is now in his 70s and still lives in
Omaha, Neb. His name was not
released.
Limo firm hacked;
politician, celeb data breached
An Internet security rm says a lim-
ousine software company has been
hacked, exposing credit card numbers
and potentially embarrassing details
about close to 1 million customers,
including politicians, star athletes and
corporate executives.
Alex Holden, chief information
security officer of Milwaukee-based
Hold Security, said Monday he discov-
ered the breach at Corporatecaronline
and informed its owner more than a
month ago.
Holden says customers credit card
numbers, pick-up and drop-off infor-
mation and other personal details had
been stolen.
Corporatecaronline is a limousine
software company based in Kirkwood,
Mo. Car services buy the software and
use it to streamline reservations, dis-
patching and payments. Owner Dan
Leonard didnt return a call for com-
ment.
U.S. seeking $3M from
fish bladder smuggler
SAN DIEGO Federal prosecutors
want a Sacramento man who smuggled
endangered fish bladders into the
United States from Mexico to later sell
to Asia to pay $3 million in restitu-
tion.
The amount would put the value of
each of the 270 sh bladders Jason Xie
smuggled in April at $11, 375.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Melanie
Pierson said the punishment is neces-
sary to discourage others from trafck-
ing the swim bladders of Totoaba sh,
which is only found in Mexicos Sea
of Cortez.
This crime is more than just an eco-
nomic crime: it is also an attack on an
endangered species. ... Because the
smuggling of Totoaba bladders is a
growing problem along our border,
the need to deter others is strong,
Pierson wrote in a sentencing memo.
U-T San Diego reports at least six
other people were charged with smug-
gling Totoaba this year, without about
700 pounds of sh bladders seized at
the border.
The sh bladders are prized in China
for their purported medicinal proper-
ties and can fetch $5,000 to $10,000
apiece on the black market.

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Tuesdays election in San Mateo
County will determine funding for
several school districts and give
Foster City residents a chance to
weigh in on a business tax increase.
In the San Mateo-Foster City
Elementary School District, there
are dueling campaigns for and
against a $130 million bond to
address overcrowding at San Mateo
and Foster City schools by rebuild-
ing and renovating classrooms.
Measure P is a push to relieve
overcrowding in schools that were
built for 300 students that now serve
more than 500 students. The pro-
posal focuses on repairs and rebuild-
ing efforts at Knolls Elementary
School in San Mateo and Bowditch
Middle School in Foster City.
Proponents of the bond claim the
money will also help the school dis-
trict upgrade technology and elec-
tricity systems at schools, and pro-
vide better facilities for a larger cam-
pus population.
At Bowditch, bond monies would
go to adding a fth grade to the mid-
dle school in what supporters call an
innovative two-campus-in-one
design in a brand-new building.
Knolls Elementary School has sat
shuttered but would be able to
reopen with the funding to relieve
overcrowding at other San Mateo
schools, supporters say.
The Yes on P campaign has the
support of state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-
San Mateo, and San Mateo County
Supervisor Carole Groom, among
other elected representatives and
local agencies.
School district Trustee Ellen
Ulrich is behind the No on P cam-
paign and hopes to bring the plans
for a school bond back to the draw-
ing board.
Its heavily skewed to one part of
the community, Ulrich said. She
said the measure supports more
upgrades in Foster City, and the
money will not be evenly distrib-
uted based on population.
About 30 percent of the district
resides in Foster City, with the rest
in San Mateo, Ulrich said.
This bond measure is not well put
together, she said, but noted that
doesnt mean that the entire com-
munity cant come up with a better
plan.
She said a prior school bond
measure, Measure L, which passed
with more than 75 percent support
in 2008, was divided equitably
between the population centers.
The opposition has gained the
support of San Mateo Mayor David
Lim and Deputy Mayor Robert
Ross, according to Ulrich.
Its not about wanting these two
communities to be divided, she
said, instead it should be about
improving antiquated classrooms
and facilities.
The measure requires 55 percent
approval to pass.
Residents in the Belmont-
Redwood Shores School District
will be deciding on renewing two
education parcel taxes for 10 years.
The combined tax would continue to
levy $174 per parcel, with an
exemption for senior citizens, to
fund schools.
Rahila Passi, a spokeswoman for
the Yes on Measure R campaign,
said in an email that Measure R will
continue to fund academic pro-
grams, retain teachers and support
other programs like libraries, arts
and music, just as it has done over
the years.
She said the parcel tax is more cru-
cial now that the state has cut $8.5
million from our schools over the
last ve years so our schools are
educating more students with less
money.
She continued, If Measure R is
not renewed, our schools will lose
approximately $2.1 million in
annual funding, resulting in cuts to
our academic program.
An opposition campaign has
formed that appears to be against
more taxes for school district resi-
dents.
On the No on R groups
Facebook page, opponents have
said, Citizens are tired of the waste-
ful spending by the inept (school)
board. We need to stand up for our
rights and say no more parcel
taxes.
Carol Ford, a Redwood Shores res-
ident not afliated with any organ-
ized campaign, said the measure was
premature because it does not con-
sider other sources of potential
money from the state or the fact that
the district is currently operating
with a surplus. She accused the cur-
rent board of scare tactics.
I would like them to wait until we
get a new school board, and let the
new board determine what is actual-
ly needed, Ford said. Im hoping
there will be some replacements on
the board and that they will be more
scally sound.
The parcel tax requires a two-
thirds vote. The school district
encompasses residents in Belmont
and the community of Redwood
Shores in Redwood City.
Foster City residents are deciding
on Measure U, a business license tax
that would go toward city services
such as police, re, parks and
repairs and maintenance. The tax on
businesses requires a majority vote.

tion in San Mateo County is avail-
able at shapethefuture.org.

block of Ralston Avenue. Upon
arrival, officers found a 2011
Toyota Camry sedan on its roof in
the middle of the road. The vehicle
was occupied by ve NDNU stu-
dents, who had been on their way
back to campus, according to
police.
Three of the occupants had man-
aged to get out of the vehicle
before emergency personnel
arrived and the remaining two were
able to get out on their own, with
the assistance of firefighters.
Three of the occupants, the 18-
year-old driver, a 20-year-old male
passenger and an 18-year-old
female passenger were treated at
the scene by Belmont reghters,
with assistance from reghters
from the San
Mat eo- Fos t er
City Fire
De p a r t me n t .
The other two
occupants, a
male and
female, both
18, were trans-
ported to an
area hospital
with non-life threatening injuries.
The driver was the only occupant
wearing a seat belt, according to
police.
Officers determined that the
Toyota had been traveling east on
the 1400 block of Ralston Avenue
when it left the road as the driver
was attempting to negotiate the
curve at Chula Vista Drive. The car
collided with a cinderblock wall
and rolled over, coming to rest in
the road, according to police.
The driver, Saddiq Jami, 18, of
Alameda, was arrested at the scene
and booked into the San Mateo
County Jail on charges of driving
under the inuence, driving under
the inuence resulting in injury (a
felony) and being under 21years of
age with a blood alcohol over .05
percent, according to police.

WASHINGTON Space is vast,
but it may not be so lonely after
all: Astudy nds the Milky Way is
teeming with billions of planets
that are about the size of Earth,
orbit stars just like our sun, and
exist in the Goldilocks zone not
too hot and not too cold for life.
Astronomers using NASA data
have calculated for the rst time
that in our galaxy alone, there are
at least 8.8 billion stars with
Earth-size planets in the habitable
temperature zone.
The study was published Monday
in the journal Proceedings of the
National Academy of Science.
For perspective, thats more
Earth-like planets than there are
people on Earth.
As for what it says about the odds
that there is life somewhere out
there, it means just in our Milky
Way galaxy alone, thats 8.8 bil-
lion throws of the biological
dice, said study co-author Geoff
Marcy, a longtime planet hunter
from the University of California
at Berkeley.
The next step, scientists say, is
to look for atmospheres on these
planets with powerful space tele-
scopes that have yet to be
launched. That would yield further
clues to whether any of these plan-
ets do, in fact, harbor life.
The ndings also raise a blaring
question, Marcy said: If we arent
alone, why is there a deafening
silence in our Milky Way galaxy
from advanced civilizations?
In the Milky Way, about 1 in 5
stars that are like our sun in size,
color and age have planets that are
roughly Earths size and are in the
habitable zone where life-crucial
water can be liquid, according to
intricate calculations based on four
years of observations from NASAs
now-crippled Kepler telescope.

Pimping suspect gets December trial
An Oakland woman accused of pimping in a South San
Francisco motel room and beating a prostitute seriously
when the woman said she wanted to stop
pleaded not guilty to all charges and will
stand trial next month.
Angela Denise Gospel, 25, was arrested
in August after South San Francisco
police responded to a solicitation on
MyRedBook.com and were reportedly
directed to a Mitchell Avenue hotel room
she rented. Police reported seeing the
women leave the room and go separate
ways before making contact with the
alleged 24-year-old escort. The woman
told police a romantic relationship with Gospel turned into
her being prostituted and giving up all her earned money.
The escort also said, in November 2012, Gospel beat her
badly and in July, after saying she wanted out of the busi-
ness, Gospel threatened to beat her so badly she would never
work again.
Gospel has denied the allegations but prosecutors say her
cellphone provided incriminating text messages.
After pleading not guilty in Superior Court, Gospel was
scheduled for a Nov. 15 pretrial conference followed by a
Dec. 9 jury trial.
She remains in custody on $250,000 bail.
Man wanted for South City rape
Police are on the lookout for a San Francisco man who
allegedly raped a woman and assaulted another in South San
Francisco around 2 a.m. Oct. 31, said Sgt. Bruce McPhillips
of the South San Francisco Police Department.
The crime occurred at a residence occupied by the suspect,
Edwin Gudiel-Sorto, 36, and two female victims between the
ages of 19 and 21, McPhillips said, adding that it was not a
random attack.
The victims were transported to the hospital with minor
injuries, McPhillips said. The second victim attempted to
stop the rape and hit Sorto on the head with a beer bottle.
Sorto is believed to have a large laceration on his forehead
and scratches on his face. Sorto is a resident of the Mission
district in San Francisco and is believed to be driving a black
BMW, McPhillips said.
Sorto is wanted on a $750,000 warrant.
Anyone with information about the suspect or the crime
should call the South San Francisco Police Department at
(650) 877-8900.
FAA rules expected to
reduce flight delays on foggy days
Frequent yers weary of fog-related delays at San Francisco
International Airport have some relief on the horizon: the
airport has implemented a new landing protocol that will
increase the rate of ight arrivals when skies are gray.
It should help a little bit during the bad weather, airport
spokesman Doug Yakel said.
Yakel explained that on sunny days, there are dual landings
on parallel runways at SFO. On a clear day like [Monday],
airplanes can land side by side, he said.
However, in times of low visibility, such as on foggy
days, the Federal Aviation Administration has prohibited
such landings, and planes landed one by one, using a single
runway.

PENNSVILLE, N.J. Relatives of
the suspect charged in last weeks Los
Angeles airport shooting offered sym-
pathy Monday to the family of the TSA
ofcer who was killed, saying they
were shocked and numbed by the
deadly rampage.
An attorney for the family of Paul
Ciancia said his relatives also
expressed hope for the recovery of the
other victims and regret for the travel
disruption caused by the attack on the
nations third-busiest airport.
Family lawyer John Jordan read a
brief statement outside the town hall in
Pennsville, a working-class town near
Wilmington, Del.,
where Ciancia grew
up.
Paul is our son
and brother. We will
continue to love him
and care for him and
support him during
the difficult times
ahead, Jordan said
on the familys
behalf.
The relatives, who had not spoken
publicly before, said they were cooper-
ating with the FBI and other law
enforcement agencies.
Jordan, who is also the towns
municipal judge, did not take ques-
tions.

Tri Pointe Homes to

IRVINE Tri Pointe Homes Inc. is
combining with Weyerhaeuser Co.s
homebuilding business in a deal valued
at about $2.7 billion.
Tri Pointe said Monday that the trans-
action will make it one of the 10 biggest
U.S. homebuilders based on estimated
combined equity market value.
Weyerhaeuser President and CEO
Doyle Simons said in a statement that
the company performed a strategic
review of its homebuilding business and
decided that the combination with Tri
Pointe provided the greatest value for
its shareholders. The combined com-
pany will be a strong standalone home-
builder, and the separation of our home-
building division allows us to focus on
driving performance in our forest prod-
ucts businesses to deliver further value
to our shareholders, he said.

WASHINGTON The Senate pushed a
major anti-bias gay rights bill past a rst,
big hurdle Monday, a clear sign of Americans
greater acceptance of homosexuality nearly
two decades after the law prohibiting federal
recognition of same-sex marriage.
The vote of 61-30 essentially ensured that
the Senate has the votes to pass the
Employment Non-Discrimination Act that
would prohibit workplace discrimination
against gay, bisexual and transgender
Americans.
Final passage, possibly by weeks end,
would cap a 17-year quest to secure Senate
support for a similar discrimination measure
that failed by one vote in 1996, the same year
Congress passed and President Bill Clinton
signed the Defense of Marriage Act.
Reecting the nations shifting views
toward gay rights and the fast-changing
political dynamic, seven Senate Republicans
joined with 54 Democrats to vote to move
ahead on the legislation.
Rights are sometimes intangible but, boy
if youve ever been discriminated against,
seeking employment or seeking an advance-
ment, its bitter, Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-
Wis., the only openly gay member of the
Senate, said after the vote. And its been a
long, long ght, but I think its day has come.
And thats just very exciting to witness.
The legislation would be the rst signi-
cant gay rights legislation since Congress
ended the ban on gays serving openly in the
military in December 2010. The Supreme
Court in June afrmed gay marriage and grant-
ed federal benets to legally married same-
sex couples while same-sex marriage is legal
in 14 states and the District of Columbia.
Gay rights bill clears first hurdle in Senate

WASHINGTON The Supreme Court on
Monday declined for now to jump back into
the long-running legal ght over abortion,
but a ood of new state restrictions has
increased the chances that the issue soon
will be back before the justices.
The court stepped back from a dispute
over a now-nullied Oklahoma law to limit
drug-induced abortions. But a new ling
asks the justices to block new Texas restric-
tions that have dramatically reduced the
availability of abortions in Texas.
Oklahoma also is challenging its state
high courts rejection of a law mandating an
ultrasound exam before an abortion can be
performed and Arizona, backed by 16 other
states, wants the justices to let it enforce a
ban on abortions after 20 weeks of preg-
nancy, except for medical emergencies.
On both sides of the issue, people say it
is only a matter of time before the court
steps in to indicate how far states may go in
regulating abortion without crossing the
line the court rst set out in the 1973 Roe v.
Wade decision that announced a womans
right to an abortion and modied in 1992 in
Planned Parenthood v. Casey.
The Supreme Courts last abortion case
was in 2007, when a bitterly divided court
upheld a federal law that banned a procedure
its opponents call partial-birth abortion. It
was the rst time the court upheld a nation-
wide ban on a particular method of abortion
and the majority opinion that Justice
Anthony Kennedy wrote for his four conser-
vative colleagues suggested that the court
might be open to additional limits on abor-
tion.
The ensuing years have given rise to a
wealth of state laws that outlaw abortions
after 20 weeks of pregnancy, set limits on
the use of drug-induced abortions, mandate
ultrasound exams and counseling and require
that doctors who perform abortions in clin-
ics practice at nearby hospitals.

Syria vows to vaccinate
all children against polio
DAMASCUS, Syria Syria
said Monday that it will work
with international organizations
to ensure that all children in the
country, even those in rebel-held
areas, will be vaccinated against
polio following an outbreak of
the crippling and highly commu-
nicable disease.
The World Health Organization
last week confirmed 10 cases of
polio among babies and toddlers
in northeastern Syria. The U.N.
health agency warned that the out-
break the first in 14 years in
the country risks spreading
among an estimated half-million
Syrian children who havent been
immunized because of the civil
war.
We intend to vaccinate each
Syrian child regardless of the area
they are present in, whether it is a
hotspot or a place where the
Syrian Arab Army is present,
deputy foreign minister Faisal
Mekdad said.

CAIRO Ousted President
Mohammed Morsi refused to wear a
prison jumpsuit, entering the
caged dock in a dark business suit
as his co-defendants applauded. He
deantly questioned the legitimacy
of the court and proclaimed him-
self still Egypts leader. His fellow
Muslim Brotherhood members
chanted, Down with military
rule!
Morsis long-awaited trial got
off to a chaotic start Monday, with
outbursts and interruptions, and it
was quickly adjourned until Jan. 8.
The dramatic rst public appear-
ance for Morsi since the July 3
military coup that removed him
from power was meant to be a step
toward due process. Instead, it
highlighted the challenges facing
Egypts interim authorities as they
attempt to close a chapter of his
presidency, while his Islamist sup-
porters seek to disrupt the effort.
Morsi and 14 co-defendants
seven of whom are still at large
are charged with inciting the
killing of protesters who massed
outside the presidential palace in
December 2012 and demanded that
he call off a referendum on a new
Islamist-drafted constitution.
Brotherhood members attacked a
sit-in by the protesters, sparking
clashes that left 10 people dead.
Before Mondays session began,
silent video broadcast on state TV
showed Morsi arriving in a
minibus outside the makeshift
courtroom at a police academy in
eastern Cairo. He wore the dark
suit, light shirt and no tie, anked
by burly policemen.
A smiling Morsi later walked
into the cage in the court still in
the same garb, unlike his co-defen-
dants in white prison jumpsuits.
They stood in two lines like a
presidential honor guard, applaud-
ing and raising their hands in a
four-ngered gesture commemo-
rating the hundreds of his support-
ers killed when security forces
moved to clear protest encamp-
ments in August. Another defen-
dant an aide held with him in the
secret military location also
was in a suit.
Feisty and healthy-looking after
four months of secret detention,
the 62-year-old Morsi immediately
started talking even before Judge
Ahmed Sabry Youssef gave him the
oor.
What is going on now is a
cover for a military coup, Morsi
shouted in a voice that echoed
through the courtroom. I warn
everybody. ... I wish that the
Egyptian judiciary would not
become one day a cover for the
military coup.

TEHRAN, Iran In Tehrans
largest anti-U.S. rally in years,
tens of thousands of demonstrators
joined Monday in chants of death
to America as hard-liners directed
a major show of resolve against
President Hassan Rouhanis out-
reach to Washington more than a
generation after crowds on the
same streets stormed and occupied
the U.S. Embassy.
Such American-bashing
protests occur every year outside
the former embassy compound to
mark the anniversary of the 1979
takeover following the Islamic
Revolution. But the latest demon-
stration had a dual purpose of
sending the boldest warning yet to
Rouhanis government over
whether it can expand dialogue
with the U.S. or offer the conces-
sions needed to possibly settle the
nuclear impasse with the West.
Fighting the global arrogance
and hostile policies of America is
the symbol of our national soli-
darity, said Saeed Jalili, who lost
to Rouhani in Junes election and
later was replaced as the countrys
top nuclear negotiator.
The choice of Jalili as the main
speaker to the crowd showed how
high the rifts reach in Iran.
Jalili is a leading voice of dis-
sent over Rouhanis overtures to
Washington, but he is also a sen-
ior adviser to Supreme Leader
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has
given critical support to
Rouhanis initiatives. The grow-
ing tensions have left Khamenei
the ultimate decision-maker in
Iran in the unusual role of
domestic diplomat.

OPINION 9
Who knows?
Editor,
The story is told of a visitor to Albert
Einsteins ofce asking him why he
had a horseshoe hanging on his wall
and asking if he believed it would bring
good luck. Einsteins reported response
was, No, its superstitious nonsense,
but that doesnt mean it isnt true.
That came to mind when I heard
President Obama say in response to
criticism of his health care law that if
people tried to help implement it
instead of ghting against implementa-
tion, it would work better.
Thats like telling someone whom
you want to euthanize against their will
that if theyd only cooperate, theyd die
more quickly.
If President Obama has to resort to
that kind of logic, you know that he
knows his health care law is in big
trouble. To keep my current health care
plan, my premiums will increase by
about 108 percent. Now that Ive heard
about the possible security risk to the
Affordable Care Act website, Im not
sure Id want to go onto it even if I
could get onto it.
Some right-wing ideologues claim
that President Obama is a Marxist
whose secret goal is to destroy the
United States from within. Just because
theyre right-wing ideologues doesnt
mean theyre wrong. I honestly cant
gure out whether the current debacle,
fanned by people who want to give this
disaster a chance, stems from our presi-
dents incompetence or is deliberate.

NSA eavesdropping
Editor,
Can you hear me now? Well someone
certainly can. Our National Security
Agency, paid for by you and I, records
and keeps any and all electronic commu-
nications for purposes they can decide
on at a later time. How can this state of
affairs happen? Because it just can, thats
why. When agencies have capabilities
and enormous funding, they tend to nd
reasons to justify continuing their poli-
cies and their funding.
Is it embarrassing to the government
to have the fact made public that theyre
eavesdropping on so many world lead-
ers? Well, when you get caught, it cer-
tainly is. However, it is a self-inicted
wound that the truth-teller shouldnt
have to suffer for.
Recently, Edward Snowden was visited
by several high-prole surveillance
experts and others who likewise ran afoul
of our ofcials who dont like being
outed. They wanted to show support
and appreciation for the heavy price hes
paying for doing what he felt was the
moral thing. Hes in Russia, ironically a
nation with a sad history of human rights
and privacy violations against its own cit-
izens not his rst choice, but out of
necessity, any port in a storm shall we
say. So in the future, make sure you use
spellcheck in your emails and texts so
you dont annoy the NSA.

Israel and food stamps
Editor,
This year already the United States has
given Israel $3.1 billion in military aid.
They are voting now to up this by $488
million for more weapons. At the same
time they are voting to cut food stamps
by $5 billion for the poor people in the
United States. Our government is willing
to give our tax funds to the apartheid
nation of Israel but will not care for our
hungry children? Our nation is broke,
they say. We need austerity for us and
more weapons for Israel? I disagree. We
must change our government. We must
get some moral ethical people who will
change the priorities of our government.
We need new people in ofce that will
heed the voice of their constituents. This
requires that we stop voting for those in
Congress now. Dont vote for anyones
re-election. We need and deserve much
better than what we have now.

Editor,
Anote of thanks and appreciation to
the Daily Journals hard-working sports
writers Mr. Nathan Mollat and Mr. Julio
Lara is long overdue. Last Friday (Nov.
1) afternoon and evening the two cov-
ered no fewer than four prep football
games from throughout the Peninsula
Athletic League and provided excellent,
in-depth stories from each game, com-
plete with action pictures from two of
the games. Their efforts should not go
unnoticed, and are not limited to foot-
ball. Indeed, the Daily Journal and the
Peninsula sports community are much
the better for the responsibility, dedica-
tion, and professionalism of Mr. Mollat
and Mr. Lara.

Time to vote
I
ts broken record day. Technically, the desk calendar
and ofcials call today Election Day but we all know
what that means it is the annual day of us with a
small soap box and those with a candidate or measure to
push try their best to rally the troops one last time to vote.
And Wednesday? It is also a
repeat performance, the national
day to bemoan voter apathy, won-
der why turnout isnt higher and
start slicing and dicing the out-
come 16 different ways in hopes
of one day not being outshone by
Third World counties where peo-
ple have no accessible water and
wouldnt know a campaign ier if
it hit them in the face but still
manage to cast a ballot.
Its the lack of a presidential
race, most will say. And its true;
nothing gets the masses riled up
about civic engagement the way a presidential ght does.
Add a potentially historic campaign and see the gures soar
even higher. Remember the spike not only in registration
but participation by those both trying to get now-President
Barack Obama in ofce and those ghting tooth and nail to
get him out? If only the health care plan had such numbers.
But the truth is while a national presidential choice is
important and a lot more sexy than say, a local school
bond or citywide tax measure, the latter will almost always
have a much more immediate impact on ones day-to-day
happenings. Obama wrestling with what to do about Syria?
Signicant, no doubt. Nobody is really looking forward to
World War III. Sales tax jumping on nearly every single
item one purchases in a day? Goes without saying, con-
sumers will see that zero bank balance or lesser amount of
change handed back a lot more immediately.
They say death and taxes are the only certainties in life.
Since you cant avoid one, why wouldnt you want to have a
say in potentially having another?
Another explanation come Wednesday is that the meas-
ures are confusing and voters cant keep them straight.
Again, true to some extent. Measure P? Which one is that?
Is there a Measure Athis year? Theres always a Measure A,
as though the elections naming folks cant be bothered to
explore the 25 other letters of the alphabet. But heres the
thing the important factor isnt what the measure is
called but what it does. Look at the voter pamphlet, read the
text as a refresher and choose how you want to live the rest
of your life (or at least until another measure reverses the
course).
Take for example the county charter change measure that
voters passed last November. Many would probably be
hard-pressed to recall the measure letter or if the two oppos-
ing camps even had a fun name for their efforts. Brows
might furrow and eyes might glaze just at the term county
charter change. Sounds kind of like the Board of
Supervisors has switched which boat its hiring for an
event.
But that change is the one that, also backed by the set-
tling of a voting rights lawsuit, means that going forward
county supervisors can only be elected by constituents in
their own individual districts rather than by a countywide
electorate. It is a huge sea change, one that has been sought
by some for years, and could potentially diversify the can-
didate pool and narrow supervisorial focus to a smaller
jurisdiction. The vote also meant district lines were moved;
residents might have a completely new representative now
thanks to those who turned out in November and the super-
visors also chosen by the people who recently picked
the redrawn maps.
Carp all you want about the electoral college system but
realize that voting processes closer to home carry a lot
more weight. Besides, unlike the presidential race in which
the outcome seems set and broadcast by the East before the
western polls even close, county and city races provide a
much greater and level element of surprise because they
open and shut at the same time.
For a chunk of the countys population, this impassioned
plea is unnecessary. Theyve already decided to play civic
possum and not even register to vote. They couldnt opt in
tomorrow even if they had an overnight epiphany and high
tail it to the nearest polling place. But 359,535 others bet-
ter perk up their ears. That number is how many San Mateo
County residents are registered to vote Nov. 5, according to
the Elections Ofce. Theyve done the rst step; now its
time to hit the nish line.
Not every person will be voting in every race; the break-
downs for individual cities and school districts are much
smaller. That means every vote counts that much more and
every voter needs to participate in this latest day of reckon-
ing. Candidates and measure backers have had their turn in
the spotlight for the last few months. Today, voters needs
to step up and ensure that come Wednesday the pundits can
sing a new song.

Big movers
By Joshua Freed
There was no dramatic rally and no
records were set. But stocks nished
with small gains sprinkled across
industries from airlines to steelmakers
as the big indexes continued to trade
near record highs.
All 10 industries tracked in the
Standard & Poors 500 index rose.
Twice as many stocks rose as fell. The
Russell 2000 index of smaller compa-
nies rose more than one percent, the
biggest gain among U.S. market
benchmarks.
And some industries rose sharply,
including steelmakers, homebuilders,
and airlines.
While Mondays gains were modest,
they continued a powerful rally in the
market that has driven the S&P 500
index up nearly 24 percent this year.
The S&P 500 closed at records seven
times in October, most recently on
Oct. 29, when it set its current all-time
high of 1,771.95
On Monday the S&P 500 increased
6.29 points, or 0.4 percent, to close at
1,767.93. Energy stocks had by far
the biggest gains among 10 industries
in the S&P 500, followed by technolo-
gy and consumer discretionary stocks.
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 23.57 points, or 0.15 percent, to
15,639.12 and the Nasdaq composite
also gained 14.55 points, or 0.37 per-
cent, to 3,936.59.
Homebuilders gained after Tri Pointe
Homes said it would combine with
Weyerhaeusers home building busi-
ness in a $2.7 billion deal. Last week
homebuilders fell after the Federal
Reserve said in a policy statement that
the recovery in that sector has slowed
somewhat in recent months.
Tri Pointe rose 77 cents, or 5 per-
cent, to $16.15. D.R. Horton rose 31
cents, or 1.7 percent, to $18.82. KB
Home rose 28 cents, or 1.7 percent, to
$16.88.
Steelmakers rose after Goldman
Sachs said the steel sector appears to
be heading to a sustainable recovery.
AK Steel Holding rose 40 cents, or
almost 9 percent, to $5. US Steel rose
$1.13, or 4.4 percent, to $26.91.
Steel Dynamics Inc. rose 41 cents, or
2.2 percent, to $18.85.
So far during the third-quarter earn-
ings season, 68 percent of companies
that have reported have beaten ana-
lysts estimates, according to S&P
Capital IQ. But 60 of the 78 companies
that provided fourth-quarter forecasts
came in lower than analysts were
expecting.
Generally earnings have been OK,
but revenues have been a little bit
light, said Lawrence Creatura, portfo-
lio manager for the Clover Small Value
Fund at Federated Investors.
Management teams seem to be get-
ting it done through cost-cutting
rather than vibrant organic growth.
The economy is growing slowly, stub-
bornly slowly, Creatura said.
With just 14 companies reporting
earnings on Monday, some investors
were on the sidelines. The pace picks
up on Tuesday. Investors were also
looking ahead to Twitters highly
anticipated public offering Thursday
and the Labor Departments employ-
ment survey on Friday.
Eleven other companies are also
expected to bring IPOs this week. That
means this week will be tied for the
busiest of the year.
IPOs often track stock market valua-
tions. The more investors pay for
stocks listed now, the more companies
gure investors will pay for newly
issued shares, too.
Twitter has really reawakened the
retail investor, said Kim Forrest, an
analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group.
Maybe theyre responsible for the
market drifting up the way it has
today.
Airline stocks rose after reports that
US Airways Group Inc. and American
Airlines, which are seeking a merger,
are in talks with the Justice
Department to resolve antitrust con-
cerns before a trial later this month.
Stocks post modest but broad gains
By Michael Liedtke
and Barbara Ortutay
SAN FRANCISCO Twitter has
built a digital town square thats
teeming with activity but riddled
with financial potholes. Seven
years after co-founder Jack Dorsey
sent the rst tweet through the
online messaging service, more
than 500 million posts are shared
each day by everyone from the
Dalai Lama to Justin Bieber.
But all the chirping hasnt
translated to prots nor is it
expected to any time soon.
As Twitter prepares to complete
its initial public offering of stock
this week, the San Francisco com-
panys history of losses totaling
nearly $500 million is raising
questions about its ability to turn
a cultural phenomenon into a sus-
tainable business.
Twitters IPO promises to be
another touchstone in the
Internets evolution from a geeky
backwater to a wellspring of
world-changing innovation and
jaw-dropping wealth. In that
sense, the companys stock mar-
ket debut shares parallels with
the IPOs of two rivals: online
social networking leader
Facebook Inc., which went pub-
lic nearly 18 months ago, and
search engine leader Google Inc.,
which made the leap to Wal l
Street in 2004.
Challenges abound for Twitter heading into IPO
By Barbara Ortutay
NEW YORK Twitter faces
skepticism from potential
investors and the broader public
ahead of its initial public offer-
ing, according to an Associated
Press-CNBC poll released
Monday.
Some 36 percent of Americans
say buying stock in the 7-year-
old short messaging service
would be a good investment,
while 47 percent disagree. Last
May, ahead of Facebooks IPO, 51
percent of Americans said
Facebook Inc. would be a good
investment. Just 31 percent didnt
agree.
Twitter plans to make its Wall
Street debut this week and surpris-
ingly, 52 percent of people ages
18 to 34 say investing in the
companys stock is not a good
idea.
Twitter Inc. will begin trading
on the New York Stock Exchange
on Thursday morning after setting
a price for its IPO sometime
Wednesday evening. As it stands,
the San Francisco-based company
plans to raise as much as $1.6 bil-
lion in the process.
Poll: Twitter faces skeptical investors
Apple to open plant in
Phoenix-area, employ 700
PHOENIX Apple Inc. says it
will open a manufacturing plant in
the Phoenix suburb of Mesa that
will eventually employ 700 work-
ers.
The Cupertino maker of the
iPhone conrmed Monday that it
is expanding its U.S. manufactur-
ing operations in a former First
Solar plant in Mesa. The city
southeast of Phoenix already hosts
a long list of high-tech manufac-
turing rms.
About 1,300 construction jobs
will also be created as the First
Solar plant designed to make thin-
lm solar panels is converted. The
company sold the plant last
month.

With talent up and down rosters across the
Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division,
coaches arent shy about proclaiming this to
be one of the best seasons in San Mateo
Countys recent history.
But when digging through rosters trying to
nd the best of the best in the PAL, a certain
Wildcat always leads the conversation:
Christine Alftin.
I still think shes the best all-around play-
er around, said Woodside head coach Kyle
Mashima. I dont think there is a single
player that can play all the positions as well
as she does. Because, there are players that
hit well, that dont pass well, play back row
or play good defense. So, I think shes the
best combination of hitter, digger, passer,
all-around.
Its hard to argue against Mashima when
you take a look at Alftins numbers. While
she took the PAL by storm last season after
transferring from St. Francis-Mountain View,
this year, even with teams zoning on her,

MLB ponders idea of Oakland As playing baseball at AT&T Park
By Janie McCauley
OAKLAND Oakland Athletics owner
Lew Wolff insists his team is staying put.
For now, anyway.
Wolff said Monday through the team
that the As will extend their lease at the
Oakland Coliseum and look forward to
another great season. The teams manag-
ing partner responded to a report in the
San Francisco Chronicle saying Major
League Baseball might get involved to
help the As play across the bay in the San
Francisco Giants AT&T Park if no short-
term lease was reached to continue their
home games in the rundown Coliseum.
Its a little more rugged, As center
elder Coco Crisp said of the ballpark. It
does have its own personality.
It was unclear how many years Oakland
is seeking for its lease, and the team
declined further comment since no deal
has been reached with the Oakland-
Alameda County Coliseum Authority. Yet
the Coliseum Authority also sounded
encouraged by the progress, issuing a
statement from board chair and Alameda

Warriors rout hot 76ers
By Dan Gelston
PHILADELPHIA Andre Iguodala
made a career-high seven 3-pointers
and scored 32 points, Stephen Curry
had 18 points, 12 assists and 10
rebounds, and the Golden State
Warriors handed the Philadelphia
76ers their rst loss of the season,
110-90 on Monday night.
The overachieving 76ers (3-1) were
one of the early surprises of the sea-
son. Iguodala, a former Sixers All-
Star, brought them back to reality.
Iguodala was sensational, setting
the pace early with six 3s and 27
points in the rst half. He also made
the play of the young season, a
behind-the-back, midair assist to
David Lee. Iguodala whipped it from
about the 3-point line and hit Lee in
stride down the lane.
Sixers rookie point guard Michael
Carter-Williams, the Eastern
Conference player of the week, missed
13 of 17 shots and scored 18 points.
Iguodala had scored only 26 points
the rst three games.
The preseason Las Vegas pick as the
worst team in the NBA, the Sixers beat
Miami and Chicago to put them on the
brink of their first 4-0 start since
2000-01.
Staying undefeated was never much
of an option after the opening min-
utes.
Iguodala hit three 3s in the rst quar-
ter to torment his former team and help
Golden State build a 16-point lead.
Iguodala was traded in 2012 to Denver
as part of a four-team trade that saw the
Sixers land Los Angeles Lakers center
Andrew Bynum. Bynum never played a
second for the Sixers and signed with
Cleveland. Iguodala left the Nuggets
to sign with the Warriors.
Much like his Philly days, Iguodala
was on the high-ying nishing end
of a few alley-oops that sparked the
offense.
Booed during pregame introduc-
tions, Sixers fans were left impressed
with his dunks.
Lee scored 14 points in the rst half
to help Golden State lead 66-42 at
halftime.
The Sixers had rallied in the second
half in each of their rst three games,
and never led to open the fourth.
They trailed 98-65 in this one.
Carter-Williams joined Shaquille
ONeal as the only NBAplayers to win
a player of the week award to open a
career. The No. 11 pick in the draft
averaging 20.7 points and 9.0 assists
in three games. He also outplayed
Washingtons John Wall and
Chicagos Derrick Rose in the eye-
opening efforts.
Curry simply toyed with the rookie.
He shot 7 of 16 and grabbed seven
defensive rebounds.
After his 10th assist late in the
third, he was pulled. Golden State
coach Mark Jackson rested his starters
in the fourth with the game out of
hand.
Evan Turner scored 18 points and
Tony Wroten had 14 for the Sixers.
The Peninsula Athletic League
girls tennis docket has turned to
playoff mode. But before those
teams contending for the tourna-
ment championship and a spot in
the Central Coast Section playoffs
do battle, the Honor Roll starts by
commending the heroic efforts of
Mariko Iinuma.
The junior, despite a badly
sprained left ankle, hobbled
around the court and won at No. 1
doubles, along with Kathy Li,
over Aragon, to clinch a spot in
the Central Coast Section tourna-
ment. Iinuma, who normally plays
at No. 3 singles for the Knights,
won a pair of matches at No. 1 dou-
bles, including a win in the regu-
lar-season nale.
That same win gave the Knights
a 13-1 record in PAL play good
for a tie atop the regular season
standings.
Kudos also go out to the entire
Mills High School squad, who ran
the table in the Ocean to go a per-
fect 14-0.
The race on the volleyball court
is really heating up and some of
the biggest boppers in the section
belong to the PAL.
Menlo-Atherton is only a game
out in the standings. And its nal-
ly getting healthy. Pauli King, a
senior, who missed the last few
matches with a shoulder injury,
picked up where she left off. She
had 15 kills in a win over Hillsdale
and added 22 in a win over
Carlmont, which moved the Bears
back into second place in the PAL
Bay Division standings.
Speaking of Carlmont, senior
Ella McDonough did her job
despite a pair of disappointing
losses to Woodside and Menlo-
Atherton last week. The Scots
leading hitter had 22 kills against
the Wildcats and added 12 more
against the Bears.
Burlingame is hanging out over
in the middle of the Bay pack.
Isabell Walker had 43 assists in a
loss to South City and added 45 in
a win over Hillsdale last week.
Over in the West Bay Athletic
League, Maddie Huber and Maddie
Frappier, the dynamic duo from
Menlo School, helped the Knights
to a league title with a win over
Mercy-San Francisco last week.
Huber nished with 17 kills and
nine digs, while Frappier had 14
kills and nine digs.
And nally, the Daily Journal
was all over the football map last
Friday with all three division races
heating up.
Over in the Bay, Andrew Segre of
Sacred Heart Prep scored twice on
three touches on his way to 220
yards of total offense and five
touchdowns in the Gators 33-3
win over Sequoia. On his second
carry of the game, Segre bolted 72
yards for a score. The next time he
touched the ball, a pass from quar-
terback Mason Randall, Segre
went 80 yards for another TD.
On defense, J.R. Hardy, a junior
safety, picked off two Sequoia
passes during the Gators 33-3 win
over the Cherokees. He returned
the second interception 48 yards
which was 48 yards more than
Sequoia amassed passing during
the game.
Staying in the Bay, Jack
Heneghan continues to make a bid
at Player of the Year with a domi-
nant, seven-touchdown pass per-
formance in a win over South City.
In the Ocean Division, Josh
Holman of Woodside only touched
the ball three times during a game
against San Mateo. But in two of
those occasions, the wide
receivers showed just how electric
he is going for touchdowns of 80
and 59 yards.
Woodside kept pace with
Burlingame, which has a dynamite
player of its own in Robbie
Baumgarten. Mr. Versatility for
the Panthers returned the opening
kickoff of the game against
Capuchino 96 yards for a touch-
down. He then followed that with a
57-yard run to the house in a 41-0
win.
A n d
f i n a l l y,
t h e
Knights of Hillsdale drew a line in
the proverbial championship
sands of the Lake Division with a
win over El Camino. And they had
plenty of stars.
Cole Carrithers, the senior quar-
terback, completed 12 of 19 pass-
es for 195 and touchdown passes
of 2, 42 and 32 yards during the
Knights 28-6 win. Brandon
Butcher was Carrithers favorite
target during Fridays win over El
Camino. Butcher hauled in six
passes for 92 yards and a pair of
touchdowns.
Hillsdales defense was also
championship caliber. The
Knights shut down a potent El
Camino offense, holding the
Colts to just 144 yards of total
offense. Take away a 57-yard run
by Brandon Gip and the Knights
held El Camino to just 87 yards the
rest of the game.
Fall season going strong, so is Honor Roll

THE ASSOCIATED PRES
SAN FRANCISCO Wide receiver Mario
Manningham is back for the San Francisco
49ers, and could make an immediate impact.
Thats the hope anyway. Coach Jim
Harbaughs 49ers are still looking for a reli-
able No. 2 receiver to complement Anquan
Boldin and San Francisco has the
leagues lowest-ranked passing offense.
Manningham was activated Monday from
the physically unable to perform list to the
53-man roster and will be available for
Sundays home game against the Carolina
Panthers. The 49ers, 6-2 and riding a ve-
game winning streak following their bye
week, also waived cornerback Nnamdi
Asomugha and activated cornerback Eric
Wright from the reserve/non-football injury
list.
Manningham made 42 receptions for 449
yards and one touchdown in 12 games and
10 starts last season before injuring his left
knee in a loss at Seattle Dec. 23. He under-
went reconstructive surgery to repair torn
anterior cruciate and posterior cruciate liga-
ments.
He has been practicing for two weeks, reg-
ularly with the rst-team offense, and the
Niners had until Tuesday to decide whether to
add him to the 53-man roster from the PUP
list.
Mario looks good. Marios a guy thats
got really, really good understanding of foot-
ball, offensive coordinator Greg Roman said
during the recent trip to London. Hes a guy
that we would probably use the word savvy
to describe. Really like how he runs routes.
How he understands leverage as the play
develops. And hes looking good, working
hard. And hes looking good.
49ers activate WR Manningham, waive Asomugha
REUTERS
Mario Manningham made 42 reception for
449 yards before getting hurt.
Further down the Peninsula and kicking
off at the same time is arguably the Game
of the Year, when undefeated Terra Nova
travels to Atherton to face unbeaten Sacred
Heart Prep.
There are a couple of scenarios here, but
the easiest one is this: a Terra Nova win
and the Tigers are Bay Division champs
and likely the top seed in the CCS Open
Division (the winner of the Bay Division
is automatically placed in the Open
Division for the playoffs). Even though
they have one game left, it comes against
rival Half Moon Bay, which plays in the
Ocean Division and would have no bearing
on the Tigers nish in the Bay.
ASacred Heart Prep win, on the other
hand, could set up a co-championship for
the Bay title. Awin by the Gators would
keep them undefeated in league but, unlike
the Tigers who would be done with Bay
Division play, SHP still has one game
remaining in league play against rival
Menlo School next week. You know the
Knights would like nothing better than to
deny the Gators an outright division title
and a Menlo win would mean a co-champi-
onship between SHP and Terra Nova in the
Bay Division.
It would also mean, however, the Gators
would represent the Bay in the Open
Division, based on beating Terra Nova in
head-to-head competition.
But lets just see how Friday shakes out
before we start worrying about Rivalry
Week.
After those two afternoon blockbusters,
everyone who doesnt have a rooting inter-
est in another matchup should head over to
Burlingame to catch the Panthers host
Woodside.
Who would have thought Woodside would
be in position to share the Ocean Division
title after an 0-4 start to the season? Since
league play started, the Wildcats have gone
3-1 and a win against the 3-0 Panthers
would give Woodside at least a share of the
Ocean Division championship.
Again, much like the Bay Division, there
are extenuating circumstances. Lets see if I
can describe all of them coherently. First,
lets assume a Burlingame win Friday. A
victory by the Panthers would eliminate
Woodside from the race. But if San Mateo
beats Aragon, that would set up a winner-
take-all in the Little Big Game next
Saturday.
If Burlingame wins and San Mateo loses,
the Panthers will win their rst PAL foot-
ball crown since 2003.
AWoodside win and a San Mateo win will
mean at least two teams will share the
crown either Woodside and Burlingame,
or Woodside and San Mateo.
Needless to say, there are still a lot of
moving parts when it comes to deciding
the Ocean Division championship. But at
least Friday should be fun if youre a fan of
Peninsula football.

Reason No. 527 Bud Selig cant retire
fast enough as commissioner of Major
League Baseball.
Areports suggests MLB would some-
how have the Oakland As play in the
San Francisco Giants AT&T Park next sea-
son if a short-term lease cant be worked
out for the As to play in the Oakland
Coliseum.
Let me get this straight: Selig and his
people cant get the Giants to bend on ter-
ritorial rights in the South Bay, where the
As, and Santa Clara, want the team to
move, yet MLB is somehow going to
convince the Giants to let the As share
their stadium? Ha!
Forget the fact the Giants organization
owns the stadium and has complete control
over who and what uses it. The Bay Area is
like many of the other two-market regions
in the United States like Chicago or
New York where fans from both sides
would barely tolerate it.
The rivalry between Giants and As fans
is as acrimonious as it has ever been in the
Bay Area. Remember those split Giants-As
hats? Whens the last time you saw one of
those?
The Bay Area rivalry, however, pales in
comparison to those between Chicago
Cubs and White Sox fans, or New York
Yankees and Mets fans. If a plan like this
was proposed in those cities, there might
be riots in the streets.
If Selig and his self-appointed blue-rib-
bon panel he put together to look into the
As proposed move to Santa Clara had done
ANYTHING over the last six or so years,
maybe the As and MLB wouldnt be in this
predicament now. If the panel had said
yay or no to a move to the South Bay,
the Oakland organization could have
moved on to Plan C (remember, Plan Awas
to move to Fremont).
Instead, Selig and his commission have
dragged their collective feet and now
theyre going to force the Giants to
share their facilities with a team they have
slightly more feelings for than the Los
Angeles Dodgers?
Think again Bud.

Alftin has proven there are many ways to
hurt an opponent. Yes, there are the kills,
but No. 11s contributions to the now rst-
place Wildcats go beyond that.
And her overall game was on full display
last week in a couple of gigantic wins for
Woodside. First, a 32-kill, 13-dig perform-
ance propelled Alftin to a win over
Carlmont. She then burned Aragon for 19
kills and nine digs to keep the Wildcats atop
the division standings.
For her efforts, Alftin is the Daily Journal
Athlete of the Week.
Youre talking about another year of
maturity, of more experience, Mashima
said of her senior campaign thus far. I just
think she continued to improve her hitting
ability and every aspect of her skill-set has
gotten better. Plus, people tend to forget,
but elite athletes dont get there by just
practicing volleyball. She does heavy con-
ditioning. Shes in very, very good shape.
And thats the part of Alftins game that
makes her special shes at her physical
peak during crunch time when other players
are running out of steam.
To hit those last couple of balls, if you
look at her performance in game ves in
almost every match its been phenomenal,
Mashima said. To have the energy to do
that others start petering out but shes
just in great shape.
Alftin has put Woodside in great shape as
well with those two wins. That victory
against Carlmont was huge in terms of the
standings and a bit of revenge. The Wildcats
are 11-1 in league play with their lone loss
coming against the Scots. With a chance at
Bay Division redemption, Alftin went off
for a season-high 32 kills.
She was really excited to play them
again, Mashima said. We all felt like we
could beat Carlmont. It was a huge number
[of kills]. And she had a number of those in
that fth set.
County Supervisor Nate Miley.
We are working on a deal that we believe
will be benecial for both our tenant and the
people of this community, the statement
said. We are confident that everyone
involved sees the value in continuing for as
long as possible the 45-year relationship
between the As and the City of Oakland.
While we cannot comment on the specic
issues now under discussion or on whether
there is any basis to recent rumors that
Major League Baseball has played a role in

STANFORD Almost every week,
Stanford coach David Shaw delegates a
backup quarterback to the scout team in
practice who can best simulate the upcom-
ing opponent.
Not this week.
Shaws search for somebody on the roster
to mimic Marcus Mariota and Oregons up-
tempo offense was deemed a lost cause.
Theres nobody who could even come close.
We have to sign somebody, he joked.
Slowing down Mariota will be the top pri-
ority when sixth-ranked Stanford (7-1, 5-1)
hosts No. 2 Oregon (8-0, 5-0) on Thursday
night in a matchup of the winners of the
past four Pac-12 championships.
In 21 starts, the Heisman Trophy hopeful
has put up video-game like numbers against
nearly every team hes faced. That is, except
for Stanford.
The Cardinal handed Mariota his only loss
last season, 17-14 in overtime in Eugene.
Stanfords victory ended Oregons three-
year run as conference champion and dashed
the Ducks national championship dreams
not to mention Mariotas chances for
college footballs most prestigious award.
Duplicating that performance might be
even tougher.
Mariota has thrown for 2,281 yards and
20 touchdowns and run for 587 yards and
nine touchdowns this season.
Hes completing 64 percent of his passes
and, perhaps most impressively, has not
thrown an interception.
I thought last year he was the best quar-
terback in the nation, and I feel the same
way this year, Shaw said. I dont care
about stats. Stats dont mean anything. You
watch the lm, you see a kid that makes
every throw. Every throw is accurate.
Twenty touchdowns and no interceptions?
Every ball is perfect, every ball is in stride,
every ball theres no wobble on it.
Everythings pretty.

Giants decline option
on Vogelsong contract
By Janie McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO The San Francisco Giants and pitcher
Ryan Vogelsong are moving forward into free agency, each
prepared to explore their separate opportunities.
At the same time, neither side is ruling out a reunion or
coming back together at some point.
The Giants declined to exercise Vogelsongs $6.5 million
contract option for 2014 on Monday, but the parties agreed
to keep open the possibility of potential negotiations down
the road about a deal.
The doors open for dicussions with
Vogelsong, but were not actively talking
right now, assistant general manager
Bobby Evans said Monday night. Both
sides are going to do some exploration of
the market before we dive into that. I
think it was somewhat the complexity of
our overall needs going into the market ...
to explore those fully, we need more time,
and unfortunately we had to make a deci-
sion today.
Vogelsong went 4-6 with a 5.73 ERAi n
19 starts and 103 2-3 innings during an injury-shortened sea-
son. He broke two bones in the right pinkie area of his pitch-
ing hand and also dislocated a knuckle on a swing May 20
and underwent surgery the next day. He had ve pins inserted
in his hand during the procedure at Stanford, performed by
orthopedist Dr. Tim McAdams.
Vogelsong won 13 and 14 games, respectively, the previ-
ous two seasons. He is due a $300,000 buyout.
Evans said the Giants didnt offer Vogelsong a contract
with a lower guaranteed salary.
We did not put anything on the table. Theres no formal
process where we go from here, Evans said. I think Ryan
has always had interest in being a Giant, but he has the
opportunity to explore other options. Today doesnt elimi-
nate his chances of coming back.
San Francisco has been in discussions with lefty reliever
Javier Lopez, and Evans expects him to explore his options
in free agency.
Theres an open mind about what could happen and were
going to maintain contact, Evans said.
The Giants already declined their 2014 options on Saturday
for $126 million left-hander Barry Zito $18 million with
a $7 million buyout and outelder Andres Torres for $3
million with a $500,000 buyout.
Yet with starters Matt Cain and Madison Bumgarner each
signed to long-term deals and two-time NL Cy Young Award
winner Tim Lincecum landing a $35 million, two-year con-
tract Oct. 25.

DO YOU HAVE KNEE PAIN?
Experience relief with advanced, non-surgical treatments.
Do you wake up with
knee pain?
Does knee pain limit your
level of activity?
Has your doctor
recommended surgery?
Do you have pain when
walking up or down
stairs?
Have you run out of
options to relieve your
pain?
If you answered yes to
any of these questions,
you are a candidate
for our non-invasive
treatment program.
Meet Dr. Brian Mitchell
Millions of individuals give up their
active lifestyle to knee pain because they
feel they are too young for major surgery.
I am here to tell you theres an effective
and FDA approved alternative to surgery.
If you suffer from any degree of knee pain,
I invite you to regain control of your life by
visiting our state of the art facility.
How Do We Treat Knee Pain?
We use a non-invasive, multi-
disciplinary approach to provide
complete care and dramatically
improve patients results. We cus-
tomize our treatment programs for
every individual. This may include
visco-supplementation to lubricate
the joint, individualized rehabili-
tation to strengthen the muscles
surrounding the injury, or bracing
for stabilization and support.
What Is visco-
supplementation?
Visco-supplementation, also known
as joint therapy, supplements the
knee with a natural occurring sub-
stance called hyaluronic acid that
is often decient in arthritic knees.
This lubricates the knee joint to
reduce friction between the bones
of the knee to provide signicant
pain relief.
Why is individualized reha-
bilitation Important?
The muscles surrounding the
injury can become weak and stiff
making it difficult to do everyday
tasks. Individualized rehabilita-
tion reduces inflammation and
increases range of motion, flex-
ibility and strength.
Will I feel better right away?
Most patients feel relief in a matter
of weeks and can go back to their
daily activities.
Will insurance cover
the cost?
Yes, most insurance providers and
Medicare will cover treatment upon
approval of your benets.
Are the treatments
successful?
Weve treated thousands of patients
and over 90% have experienced
signicant pain relief and regained
mobility.
How will I know if this
is right for me?
If youre suffering from knee pain,
your rst step is an evaluation with
Dr. Brian Mitchell.
What are patients saying?
I arrived to my rst appointment in a wheelchair because I couldnt bear any weight on my right
leg. The physician and therapists worked together to create a plan specically for me. I quickly
progressed from a wheelchair, to a walker, to a cane, to full weight on my leg. The treatments and
one-on-one rehabilitation gave me my life back. Diana V., Huntington Beach, CA

More than 12 million people make doctors visits for a sore throat every year. Usually the culprit is a virus that they just have
to wait out with a little TLC.
Strep scorecard might help tell if you need a doctor
By Lauran Neergaard
WASHINGTON Debating whether to seek a strep test
for that sore throat? One day there could be an app for that:
Researchers are developing a home scorecard that aims to
prevent thousands of unnecessary trips to the doctor for this
common complaint.
More than 12 million people make doctors visits for a
sore throat every year. Usually the culprit is a virus that
they just have to wait out with a little TLC.
In fact, the risk of strep throat is low enough for adults
that doctors may skip testing them, deciding not to bother
after running down a list of symptoms. That can leave
patients wondering why they spent hours in the waiting
room and had to pay the doctors bill.
If you could know that your risk was low enough that you
wouldnt even be tested, you might actually save yourself a
visit, said Dr. Andrew Fine, an emergency physician at
Boston Childrens Hospital.
The trick: Combine some of the symptoms that doctors
look for with a bit of computer data to tell if strep throat is
circulating in your geographical region. If the bugs in your
neighborhood, that increases the chances that youve
caught it, said Dr. Kenneth Mandl, a Harvard professor and
informatics specialist with Boston Childrens .
As a rst step, Fine and Mandl turned to the records of
more than 70,000 sore-throat patients who got strep tests
and had their symptoms recorded at CVS MinuteClinics in
six states between 2006 and 2008. They determined those
peoples risk of strep using the experimental scorecard
approach and checked the computer models accuracy
against the strep test results.
Nationally, identifying those with less than a 10 percent
chance of strep throat could save 230,000 doctor visits a
year, the team reported Monday in the journal Annals of
Internal Medicine.
The method wasnt perfect: It meant 8,500 strep cases
would have been missed, or the diagnosis delayed, conclud-

ed the government-funded study.
But Mandl said its unlikely that would
lead to lasting harm as most of those infec-
tions would clear up on their own, or per-
sisting pain eventually would send patients
to the doctor. And he noted that the rapid
strep tests that doctors use in their ofces
can miss cases, too.
Much more research is needed to prove if
the method would work in everyday life and
if a mobile app or a phone call to the doctor
would be the best approach. The Boston
team has begun the next step: Parents of
kids who come to the hospitals emergency
room for a strep test are handed a digital
tablet and asked to ll out the scorecard
rst. Researchers will see how the combi-
nation of symptoms and local infection
trends compare with actual strep test
results.
Sore throats are a challenge. Strep
throat, caused by bacteria named Group A
streptococcus, is to blame for only about
10 percent of cases in adults, and 30 per-
cent in children.
Its hard to tell who needs a strep test
based on symptoms alone, cautioned Dr.
Chris Van Beneden of the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, which
helped fund the new research. But what is
clear: Doctors should be sure its strep
before prescribing antibiotics because
those bacteria-ghting drugs have no effect
on viruses.

SAN DIEGO Ofcials at the University
of California, San Diego announced
Monday that philanthropist T. Denny
Sanford has committed $100 million to the
creation of the Sanford Stem Cell Clinical
Center.
The center is intended to accelerate devel-
opment of drugs and therapies derived from
human stem cell research through clinical
trials and patient therapies.
It will integrate the operations of four
locations: the UC San Diego Jacobs
Medical Center and a nearby proposed clin-
ical space, both scheduled to open in 2016;
the UC San Diego Center for Advanced
Laboratory Medicine; and the Sanford
Consortium for Regenerative Medicine.
Pradeep K. Khosla, chancellor of UC San
Diego, said the center will advance the
regions reputation as an international, col-
laborative hub for stem cell research.
The centers clinical trials with patients
will help leverage stem cell research being
conducted by scientists from UC San Diego,
Sanford-Burnham Medical Research
Institute, Salk Institute for Biological
Studies and The Scripps Research Institute,
among others.
Every day, scientists learn more about
the regenerative powers of stem cells,
which tantalize with their potential to treat,
cure, even prevent, myriad afflictions,
including cancer, Lou Gehrigs disease and
spinal cord injury, Sanford said in a state-
ment. I believe were on the cusp of turn-
ing years of hard-earned knowledge into
actual treatments for real people in need. I
want this gift to push that reality faster and
farther.
The grant for the stem cell center is the
second-largest donation received by the
university in its 53-year history.
Sanford has donated more than $1 billion
to causes, primarily health related. Many of
his projects are in his native state of South
Dakota, where the 77-year-old philanthro-
pist lives.
UC San Diego plans to open stem cell center
agement of PG&E that the CPUC will not tol-
erate being misled.
The commissioners unusual action pro-
vides an alternative to a proposed decision
issued last week by CPUC Administrative Law
Judge Maribeth Bushey, who recommended a
$6.75 million ne for the delay and mischar-
acterization of information on Line 147.
The alternative proposal also exceeds a
$12.7 million penalty urged by a consumer
group, The Utility Reform Network, or
TURN.
Ferrons and Busheys proposals will go
together before the full ve-member commis-
sion in San Francisco for a nal decision,
most likely at the panels Dec. 5 meeting,
according to CPUC spokeswoman Terrie
Prosper.
The incorrect information had to do with
the type of seams in the 3.8-mile Line 147,
which runs under Brittan Avenue, and affected
the maximum pressure the CPUC allowed in
the pipe.
PG&E spokeswoman Brittany Chord said,
Our goal is to be transparent and forthcom-
ing at all times.
We are disappointed that, in this instance,
our efforts fell short in the eyes of the com-
mission, and we are committed to doing more
to ensure that we achieve this objective in the
future, Chord said.
Line 147 has been the subject of concern in
San Carlos since ofcials learned last month
of internal PG&E emails written nearly a year
earlier that raised worries about inaccurate
records.
In one email in November 2012, a con-
sulting engineer asked, Are we sitting on
another San Bruno situation?
The reference was to the 2010 pipeline
rupture, fire and explosion in San Bruno
that killed eight people. The San Bruno
line was incorrectly recorded as seamless
in PG&E records.
PG&E told the commission in 2011 that
four sections of Line 147 were either seam-
less or had double-arc welds, and won per-
mission to operate the line at a pressure of
365 pounds per square inch.
According to commission records, the
utility began learning in October 2012
that its records were inaccurate, but waited
until July 3 to submit a correction saying
those four segments had single-arc welds
that would require a lower pressure.
PG&E also labeled the correction erra-
ta, a term usually used for rectifying
minor mistakes such as typographical
errors.
Ferron wrote that PG&E managers must
have recognized the record discrepancies
as a significant safety matter in the pub-
lics interest, but chose to wait several
months to correct information that they
knew to be false and that they knew the
commission relied on.
The brief errata document was mislead-
ing, Ferron said, because it did not clearly
convey the nature or significance of the
correction.
It is not credible that PG&Es engineers
and executives did not recognize the
provocative nature of these facts in light
of the intense public interest in natural gas
pipeline safety, Ferron wrote.
The correction also concerned Line 101,
which extends from San Francisco to
Milpitas. PG&E said it had improperly
relied on a 1989 test to justify the maxi-
mum pressure in the line.
The utility said in lings that it lowered the
pressure in both lines to safer levels after
learning of the mistakes, but before inform-
ing the commission.
Ferrons and Busheys proposed decisions
focus almost entirely on the delay in correct-
ing the Line 147 records.
The difference between the two proposed
nes stems from the length of the penalty
periods calculated.
Ferron calculated a ne of $50,000 per day,
or a total of $14.35 million, from Nov. 16,
2012, when he said PG&E managers had
become aware of a serious discrepancy in Line
147 records, to Aug. 30, 2013, when the util-
ity led a detailed timeline stating what it
knew and when it knew it about the data.
He calculated an additional $50,000 per
day, or a total of $2.9 million, between July 3
and Aug. 30 for submission of a misleadingly
titled and factually incomplete document.
Bushey calculated the rst portion of the
ne as $5.25 million for the period between
March 20, when PG&E rst informed com-
mission staff in a phone call, but not the
commission itself, of errors, and July 3, the
date PG&E attempted to le a correction.
She calculated the second portion as $1.5
million, running from July 3 to Aug. 2, the
date the commission ofcially rejected the
errata document as being an improper proce-
dure for correcting substantive information
the commission had relied on.
In a separate proceeding, the CPUC is cur-
rently looking into the safety of Line 147
and has ordered PG&E to operate the line at
reduced pressure of 125 pounds per square
inch for the time being.

HEALTH 19
By Michael R. Blood and Sandy Cohen
LOS ANGELES The health care over-
haul might get a Hollywood rewrite.
The California Endowment, a private
foundation that is spending millions to
promote President Barack Obamas signa-
ture law, recently provided a $500,000
grant to ensure TV writers and producers
have information about the Affordable
Care Act that can be stitched into plot
lines watched by millions.
The aim is to produce compelling prime-
time narratives that encourage Americans
to enroll, especially the young and
healthy, Hispanics and other key demo-
graphic groups needed to make the over-
haul a success.
We know from research that when peo-
ple watch entertainment television, even
if they know its fiction, they tend to
believe that the factual stuff is actually
factual, said Martin Kaplan of the
University of Southern Californias
Norman Lear Center, which received the
grant.
The public typically gets as much, if not
more, information about current events
from favorite TV programs as mainstream
news outlets, Kaplan said, so people
learn from these shows.
California Republican strategist
Jonathan Wilcox, who has taught a course
on politics and celebrity at USC, said the
attempt to engage Hollywood was coming
too late to influence views, and he doubted
fictionalized TV would play into families
decisions about health care.
This is an attempt to use entertainment
pop culture to fix a political challenge,
he said. It will be received as a partisan
political message, no matter how cleverly
its delivered.
Hollywood is known for supporting
Democratic candidates and causes Wi l l
Ferrell and Amy Poehler are among a long
list of celebrities who have made a pitch
for the law but there is no guarantee the
entertainment industry will be in lockstep
with the White House on health care.
Just last week, a South Park episode
was largely devoted to mocking a malfunc-
tioning website billed as a simple, inte-
grated portal for health services. When
its being demonstrated for students, a lap-
top instead starts playing Lionel Richies
All Night Long (All Night).
About 16 percent of Americans are unin-
sured and surveys have shown many still
know little or nothing about the health
care law even though sign-ups for insur-
ance have started. The challenge for the
laws supporters is to connect with the
millions of Americans who for whatever
reason havent paid attention.
The 18-month grant, to the Lear
Centers Hollywood Health & Society pro-
gram, will be used for briefings with staff
from television shows and to track health
overhaul-related depictions on prime-time
and Spanish-language television.
Since the grant money was provided so
recently, no plot lines involving health
care have been written. And Kaplan isnt
targeting specific shows.
For those who could benefit from cover-
age, we want them to get the facts. We
dont believe the government alone can
break through with those facts, said
David Zingale, a California Endowment
senior vice president.
Hollywood targeted to give health care lawa boost
We know from research that when people
watch entertainment television, even if they know its ction,
they tend to believe that the factual stuff is actually factual.

city or agency.
The agreement is signed and should
be formalized in coming weeks.
The money will go back into the
countys investment pool and its par-
ticipants which include cities, school
districts and special districts. Treasurer
Sandie Arnott will pencil out which
districts and agencies receive what
amount, said County Counsel John
Beiers.
Maltbie said the county turned down
a $1 million settlement from insurance
a few years back.
The settlement is a great deal for the
county and its taxpayers, Beiers said.
Under the circumstances, we are
thrilled with the outcome, Beiers
said.
The countys suit against Lehmans
auditors, Ernst and Young LLP contin-
ues.
Unlike bankruptcy proceedings, the
suit went after the personal assets of
specic executives like former CEO
Richard Fuld that Lehmans clients,
like the county, held responsible for
its downfall.
The suits claimed Lehman executives
knowingly misled investors leading
up to its bankruptcy and used account-
ing gimmicks to keep entities from
selling before the entire rm collapsed
in September 2008. One gimmick is
the so-called Repo 105 transactions,
which are repurchase agreements that
allow short-term loans to appear as
sales.
The suit called the Lehman case the
worst example of the fraud committed
by modern-day robber barons of Wall
Street, who targeted public entities to
nance their risky practices and then
paid themselves millions of dollars in
compensation while their companies
deteriorated.
The settlement comes a little more
than five years after the Sept. 15,
2008, collapse of Lehman led to the
loss from the countys 1,050 different
investment pool accounts. Lehmans
failure also led to 12 school districts
unsuccessfully suing the county for
$20 million plus interest because they
believed former treasurer-tax collector
Lee Buffington should have pulled
pool funds before it was too late.
The county has since revamped its
investment policy.
Under Arnott, the county reduced the
percentage of the investment fund that
can be invested in any one instrument
to 5 percent, shorted maturities on
investments from 15 to 7 years and
hired an outside investment advisor to
provide more oversight. Arnott said
the policy is reviewed and potentially
changed annually and are audited both
internally and externally each year.
The last thing I want is a repeat of
Lehman, Arnott wrote in an email to
the Daily Journal. I believe the steps
we have taken, and continue to take,
with regard to constantly reviewing
and improving our investment prac-
tices and policy with oversight by a
committee and an external manager are
certainly key to assisting me to safe-
guard our taxpayer dollars.

simple assault, said District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe.
While his client was acquitted of the
felony charge related to the most
injury-inducing blow which the
defense had painted as self-defense,
attorney Alin Cintean said he had
hoped for an acquittal on all counts.
We were disappointed in the ver-
dict. Very disappointed, he said.
Cintean said they have yet to decide
whether to appeal the verdict but set
sentencing for Nov. 12. Harris, 31,
faces up to a year in jail.
Cintean said jurors declined to speak
after the verdict so hes uncertain how
they reached their conclusion.
Harris took the stand in the ve-day
trial but his accuser did not. Instead,
jurors heard a transcript of Geiers tes-
timony from Harris preliminary hear-
ing before the man became uncoopera-
tive with prosecutors and also dropped
a civil lawsuit against his former
boyfriend. Jurors also heard from a
domestic violence expert about victim
reactions like those of Geier.
But Wagstaffe said he understands
how the jury may have been chal-
lenged to gure out what exactly hap-
pened.
Any time youre dealing with rela-
tionship violence it can be difcult to
arrive at a conclusion at who is telling
the truth, particularly when the victim
refuses to testify, he said.
At the time of the Aug. 12, 2012,
incident, the men were no longer dat-
ing but maintained a friendship and
Geier stayed with him while traveling
here for business. That night, prior to
Harris taking Geier to San Jose
International Airport, the men dined at
a two-person table at Su Hong To Go.
Geier poured soy sauce into a contain-
er which angered Harris who ques-
tioned his lack of table manners,
Donnellan said.
Harris suggested Geier nd his own
way to the airport and, as the two men
went to his car to remove luggage,
Donnellan said Harris accused Geier of
wearing his underwear a game Geier
sometimes played although not that
night and tugged several times at
his pants. Geier threw two punches
which Harris met by punching him in
the face, breaking orbital and cheek-
bones which required surgery and a
metal plate, according to Donnellan.
Cintean said Harris swung twice to
defend himself.
Harris left and Geier took a cab to the
hospital en route to the airport. Menlo
Park police arrested Harris early the
next morning.
Harris is free on $75,000 bail.

smashing a sliding glass door and tried
to force water down the little dogs
throat. The woman was alerted by the
dogs loud squeals. She was able to free
the dog but was immediately assaulted
by Ruiz-Martinez when he violently
pushed her, according to police.
The victim was able to push Ruiz-
Martinez out the front door of the
home and lock him out. Moments
later, Ruiz-Martinez re-entered her
home after which he began to strangle
her and forcefully pour water down her
throat in an attempt to drown her,
according to police.
The woman fought off the attack and
called 911, according to police.
Ruiz-Martinez ed the scene; howev-
er, sheriffs deputies arrived on scene
and located him in a eld still on the
victims property. Ruiz-Martinez was
found in possession of crystal
methamphetamine and was also deter-
mined to be under the inuence of a
controlled substance, according to
police.
Ruiz-Martinez was booked into the
San Mateo County Jail for possession
of a controlled substance, assault with
a deadly weapon, rst degree burglary,
elder abuse, false imprisonment, ani-
mal cruelty and being under the inu-
ence of a controlled substance.
The woman complained of pain but
had no visible injures. The dog also
appeared uninjured but the woman told
deputies she would take him to a vet-
erinarian.
He remains in custody on $50,000
bail.

case is asked to contact Detective Ken
Clayton at (650) 363-4050 or via

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Charity Cole, aka Charity S. Cole, aka
Charity Speer Cole
Case Number: 123860
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Charity Cole, aka Chari-
ty S. Cole, aka Charity Speer Cole. A Pe-
tition for Probate has been filed by Sarah
A. Cole in the Superior Court of Califor-
nia, County of San Mateo. The Petition
for Probate requests that Sarah A. Cole
be appointed as personal representative
to administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
bale for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: December 6, 2013
at 9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal qutho-
ity may affect your rights as a creditor.
You may want to consult with an attorney
knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
