About 400 new jobs will be created locally with the companys move. Many of the companys employees will live in Belmont and neighboring cities, Domenech said. This is a sign that the state is open for business, Brown said yesterday. We want to be a world leader in solar and we are going to do it with a company like this. Brown said it was obvious why

Eva Longoria-backed migrant doc out Tuesday on DVD


LOS ANGELES Eva Longoria says she lent her support to The Harvest, a documentary about child migrant laborers, not just because of her Latin American roots but also because she wants to know where her food comes from and take responsibility for it.

said. Why try to force a decision among a group running for ofce so close to the election? Up until now, Warden contends, Resolution 8002 has not cost the city a dime. The savings Lieberman suggests the city will realize is also rather insignicant, Warden said. In 14 years, only one is eligible so far, Warden said. A councilmember becomes eligible for the benet after serving for three terms. Mayor Coralin Feierbach is already eligible for the benet but is not sure she will take it since she has Medicaid and her own insurance plan. She does question, however, why Lieberman would put the item on the agenda now. No one has applied for it. To put it on the agenda during silly season is not right, Feierbach said about the timing of the proposal so close to the election. She said it should be up to Lieberman whether to accept the benet for himself. I dont think it is going to cost the city an awful lot, Feierbach said. Lieberman rst considered the policy change more than a year ago when Marc Zafferano was Belmonts city attorney. But Zafferano took a job with the city of San Bruno and Belmont had an interim city attorney for about a year, Lieberman said. Belmont hired Scott Rennie as its city attorney last month. I waited to bring this up until we hired an inhouse city attorney, Lieberman told the Daily Journal Monday. Quite frankly, I dont see how this is an election issue since Im not running for ofce. For Lieberman, the issue is about being scally responsible. This benet is excessive. I dont see any reason why any city would provide this benet, he said. Lieberman actually asked Feierbach to cosponsor his resolution. This is an opportunity for council to demonstrate strong scal leadership, he said. We ask staff to make concessions and so should we. His resolution would only apply to future elected ofcials. Those eligible should voluntarily give it up, he said. The Belmont City Council meets 7:30 p.m. tonight, City Hall, 1 Twin Pines Lane, Belmont.

Police reports
Bad neighbor
A woman reported an ongoing problem with a neighbor putting feces on her vehicle on Comet Drive in Foster City before 10:07 p.m. Friday, Oct. 7.

A Belmont councilman is challenging his colleagues to strike down a resolution that grants lifetime health insurance benets for retiring councilmembers. The council passed Resolution 8002 in 1997 that granted itself health and welfare benets commensurate with those granted to management but Councilman Warren Lieberman wants the council to now vote to eliminate the benet. Health insurance benets could reach up to $20,000 annually for each qualied former councilmember and hundreds of thousands of dollars a year over time, Lieberman said. He will introduce the policy change request at tonights council meeting. Although, to Liebermans knowledge, no councilmember has yet to actually receive the benet, he is hoping that those who qualify will voluntarily give it up. However, Vice Mayor Dave Warden thinks the timing of Liebermans proposal is suspect considering a general election is just four weeks away and several on the council are engaged in campaigns. I think there is a political agenda, Warden

Two murder suspects arrested in San Mateo


BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

Two suspects have been arrested and a third is being sought for the murder of a Santa Rosa man outside a Sonoma County butcher shop on Thursday, a Sonoma County sheriffs sergeant said Monday morning. Sheriffs detectives and San Mateo police on Saturday afternoon arrested Juan Ramon Lopez Castillo, 28, and Alberto Barraza Lopez, 33, sheriffs Sgt. Carlos Basurto said. They were arrested in San Mateo, sheriffs Lt. Dennis OLeary said. Both men are from Mexico, Basurto said. Lopez-Castillo was living in Sonoma County and Lopez was living in Hayward, Basurto said. They are suspected of fatally shooting 33-

year-old Jose Manuel DeJesus once in the head in a car in the parking lot of the Carniceria Contreras butcher shop at 1401 Todd Road south of Santa Rosa. OLeary said the shooting apparently happened during a drug deal in which DeJesus was selling marijuana to the suspects. Three Latino men were seen leaving the murder scene in a black vehicle similar to a 2005 Cadillac Catera or a 2000 Chrysler 300, according to the sheriffs ofce. The two men were arrested for murder, robbery and conspiracy to commit a crime. They are being held without bail in Sonoma County Jail, Basurto said. Lopez-Castillos younger brother, Fernando Lopez-Castillo, 25, is also wanted for the

killing, Basurto said. He is approximately 5 feet 11 inches tall, has a slim build and should be considered armed and dangerous, Basurto said. Fernando Lopez-Castillo has contacts in Sonoma County and the South Bay, Basurto said. Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to call Detective Brandon Cutting at (707) 565-2185.

Millbrae to consider police options


City may decide to contract with Sheriffs Office to help shave cost
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Providing police service in Millbrae will come at a cost savings with fewer employees through the Sheriffs Ofce or result in some tough funding decisions to fully staff its own department a dilemma the City Council will discuss tonight. San Bruno and Millbrae currently share Neil Telford, who acts as police chief for both cities, through Nov. 1 when he will return to San Bruno full time. Millbrae has a couple of options looking ahead: Contract out for services or fully fund the city department. On Tuesday, the council will have a chance to weigh the options. One of the issues with keeping its own department is cost. Over the last 10 years, the department has gone

from 38.5 full-time equivalent employees to 29.75, Telford wrote in a staff report. The reduction includes six less police ofcers and two fewer police lieutenants. The citys current annual budget for the department is $4.258 million. Under the sheriffs proposal, the department would have 16.32 FTEs including its own police chief. That calls for eliminating a police captain/commander/lieutenant position, cutting in half the number of sergeants, and reducing the number of ofcers and deputies from 14 to eight, Telford wrote. It adds a records clerk but does not discuss a crime analyst, special service coordinator or communications/records manager. The $4.09 million plan allows for sworn Millbraes sworn personnel to be accepted into the San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce after

a background check. Most nonsworn personnel would be transferred to similar positions. The costs include personnel costs and equipment. The city would be credited for equipment the department already has. Should the city want to maintain its own department, Telford suggested increasing stafng levels by 2.5 full-time equivalent employees a cost of $410,000 annually. Meeting that cost will require cuts to other city departments or could require a separate tax funded through the community. That latter option is how the city currently funds re services. Alternatively, the city could partner with another agency. The council directed staff to consult nearby agencies about a possible partnership as well as explore the cost of contracting with the Sheriffs Ofce for serv-

ices a move a number of other cities have made to save cash. At this time, no other municipality was interested. In March 2010, the two cities entered into a contract to share Telford, a veteran with more than 27 years of experience with the San Bruno Police Department. The oneyear contract called for sharing the costs of his contract. Last year, the cities jointly commissioned Municipal Resource Group, LLC to study further options for sharing police services. According to the analysis, a shared service model was not viable due to limited or non-existent scal savings. The council meets 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 11 at City Hall, 621 Magnolia Ave., Millbrae.

Burlingame Vice Mayor Jerry Deal has raised $34,630 this year toward his reelection campaign. Deal resubmitted his nancial papers last week to correct an incorrect date and change the information about loans received. In total, Deal has loaned himself $24,000 this year including $10,000 during the most recent statement period, which ran from July 1 through Sept. 29. Since July 1, Deal has received $200 from Councilwoman Ann Keighran; $100 from Il Piccolo Cafe on Broadway; $500 from Miller Development; $200 from former mayor Joe Galligan; $200 from Councilwoman Cathy Baylock; and $100 from Behans Irish Pub. Deal has spent $17,600 since July 1 with most of it, $10,000, paying for iers.

Sargent,Sims share economics Nobel


By Karl Ritter and Malin Rising
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

STATE GOVERNMENT
Legislation that will let California citizens continue making voluntary donations to two worthwhile causes when ling their personal income tax returns was signed by Gov. Jerry Brown. Senate Bill 164, by state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, reauthorizes the State Childrens Trust Fund for the Prevention of Child Abuse and the Rare and Endangered Species Preservation Program until Jan. 1, 2018. Absent Simitians legislation, these two popular and successful programs would have expired at the end of the coming year. Brown signed into law legislation to ensure workers receive prevailing wages on energy service contracts of public agencies. SB 136, authored by state Sen. Leland Yee, DSan Francisco/San Mateo, closes a loophole that allowed work to be done without prevailing wage on public infrastructure projects offered at so-called no cost by Energy Service Companies. Brown signed into law legislation authored by Yee to allow pharmacies to sell sterile syringes to an adult without a prescription. Last year, former governor Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed Yees previous attempt. Currently, 47 states allow pharmacists to sell syringes without a prescription. Most states amended their laws in light of evidence that criminalizing access to sterile syringes led drug users to share used ones, and that sharing syringes spread HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and other blood-borne diseases that can live in a used syringe, according to Yees ofce. Brown signed The Safe Body Art Act, authored by Assemblywoman Fiona Ma, D-San Francisco, which would create comprehensive statewide standards for tattooing, body piercing and the application of permanent cosmetics in California. Ma introduced AB 300 in response to a growing concern over the lack of standards for tattooing and piercing and its effects on public health. Brown signed Assembly Bill 183, authored by Ma, which prevents the sale of alcoholic beverages at self-service checkout stands and requires a face to face transaction where a clerk checks a persons ID and can check for sobriety. The bill puts alcohol on par with tobacco, spray paint and pseudoephedrine sales.

STOCKHOLM Americans Thomas Sargent and Christopher Sims won the Nobel economics prize on Monday for research that sheds light on the cause-and-effect relationship between the economy and policy instruments such as interest rates and government spending. Sargent and Sims both 68 carried out their research independently in the 1970s and 80s. But it is highly relevant today as world governments and central banks seek ways to steer their economies away from another recession. It is not an exaggeration to say that both Sargents and Sims methods are used daily ... in all central banks that I know of in the developed world and at several nance departments too, Nobel committee member Torsten Persson told the AP. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said the winners have developed methods for answering questions such as how growth and ination are affected by a temporary increase in the interest rate or a tax cut. Today, the methods developed by Sargent and Sims are essential tools in macroeconomic analysis, the academy

Sims told a news conference in Stockholm by telephone that he was sleeping when he got the call from the prize committee and that he had not expected to win. Actually, at first we were called twice, and my wife couldnt nd the talk button on the phone, so we went back to sleep, he said. Sims said there was no easy way in which his work could help resolve the current nancial turmoil. I dont have any simple answer, but I think the methods that I have used and Tom has developed are central to nding our way out of this mess, he added. I think they point a way to try to unravel why our serious problems develop and new research using these methods may help us lead us out of it.

Jobs death caused by respiratory arrest, cancer


Apple says pre-orders of iPhone 4S break record
NEW YORK Apple says rst-day pre-orders of the iPhone 4S topped 1 million, breaking the record set by last years model. Apple Inc. and various phone companies in the U.S., Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan and Britain started taking orders for the phone last Friday. It hits stores this Friday.

SAN FRANCISCO A copy of Steve Jobs death certicate made public Monday indicates that the Apple Inc. cofounder died of respiratory arrest resulting from pancreatic cancer that had spread to other organs. Jobs died last Wednesday at age 56. Apple did not disclose his cause of death, but Jobs had been in poor health for a number of years. He battled pancreatic cancer in 2004 and underwent a liver transplant in 2009 after taking a leave of absence for unspecied health problems. He took

another leave of absence in January his third since his health problems began and resigned in August, handing the CEO job over to his handpicked successor, Tim Cook. Steve Jobs The death certicate, released by the Santa Clara County Public Health Department and obtained by the Associated Press, said Jobs had a metastatic pancreas neuroendocrine tumor for the past ve years. It listed his immediate cause of death as respiratory arrest.

Supercommitteestruggles as clock ticks


WASHINGTON The supercommittee is struggling. After weeks of secret meetings, the 12-member decit-cutting panel established under last summers budget and debt deal appears no closer to a breakthrough than when talks began last month. While the panel members themselves arent doing much talking, other lawmakers, aides and lobbyists closely tracking the committee are increasingly skeptical, even pessimistic, that the panel will be able to meet its assigned goal of at least $1.2 trillion in decit savings over the next 10 years. The reason? A familiar deadlock over taxes and cuts to major programs like Medicare and the Medicaid health care program for the poor and disabled. Democrats wont go for an agreement that doesnt include lots of

U.N.: Taliban detainees tortured in Afghanistan


By Patrick Quinn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KABUL, Afghanistan Beatings, electric shocks and other forms of torture were administered to suspected Taliban fighters in some Afghan-run detention centers, the U.N. said Monday, even as the U.S. and others have spent billions of dollars training the police and security services. The abuse was not the result of Afghan government policy, but of individual actions that were mostly

ignored by the security services, according to the 74-page U.N. report. Although Afghan security officials have long been suspected of torturing detainees to elicit information and confessions, the report for the rst time conrms the practice and outlines much of the abuse. It found that detainees in 47 facilities in 24 provinces run by the Afghan National Police and the Directorate of Security suffered interrogation techniques that constituted torture under both international and Afghan law.

new tax revenue; Republicans are just as ardently anti-tax. The impasse over revenues means that Democrats wont agree to cost curbs on popular entitlement programs like Medicare. Fairness has to be a prerequisite for it, said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. We have just come through passing a bill that was (all spending) cuts, no revenue. Pelosi was referring to the August debt limit bill, which set tight caps on agency budgets but didnt contain revenue increases pressed by Democrats. Democrats are more insistent on revenues now.

Theres been no movement on revenues and Im not sure the Democrats will agree to anything without revenues, added a Democratic lobbyist who required anonymity to speak candidly. Asked last week whether she is condent that the panel can hit its $1.2 trillion goal, co-chairman Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., sidestepped the question. I am condent that the public is watching us very closely to see if we can show this country that this democracy can work, Murray told reporters. I carry that weight on my shoulders every day and so does every member of this committee.

Congress takes up China, free trade,jobs bills


By Jim Abrams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Congress is attacking the jobs front this week, with votes on China currency, free trade and President Barack Obamas jobs bill. The Senate on Tuesday evening

should pass legislation imposing economic sanctions on China if it continues to keep its exports cheap by undervaluing its currency. The bill, however, faces opposition in the House and may function mainly as a strong message of frustration with Chinas economic policies. It will also be difcult for Senate Democrats, facing stiff GOP oppo-

sition, to obtain the 60 votes needed to advance Obamas $447 billion jobs bill. It is almost certain, however, that the House and Senate will vote by Wednesday to approve free trade agreements with South Korea, Colombia and Panama that supporters say will foster tens of thousands of American jobs.

Letters to the editor


On youth gun violence
Editor, As a longtime resident and businessman in Redwood City, I am interested in crime rates, and I would like to add a more local perspective to recent articles (County on youth gun violence published in the Sept. 30 edition of the Daily Journal) on youth gun violence in San Mateo County. According to the 2010 National Archive of Criminal Justice Data, violent crime in Redwood City decreased by 55 percent, robberies decreased by 33 percent and aggravated assaults decreased by 67 percent, when compared to the statistics of 2005. These declines are remarkable, particularly as our population has continued to climb during that period. We should all be aware and proud of the broad range of programs and enforcement efforts our police undertake to reduce gangs and youth crime activity. The Street Crime Suppression Team, the Gang Suppression Team and our partnership in the San Mateo County Gang Task Force are three groups that focus enforcement efforts on gangs. Seeking to address the root causes of gang activity, our police participate in outreach and education programs for at-risk youth regarding gangs and youth gun violence through our Juvenile Unit, Street Crime Suppression Team and School Resource Officers. These programs include bilingual educational community presentations, gang awareness classes and personal contact with at-risk youth and their families. For a city of our size, Redwood City is a safe community that is well served by the professionals in the Redwood City Police Department. However, the underlying cause of those frequent fiscal emergencies remains: an absence of dedicated funding. The threecounty train system continues to rely on voluntary contributions from the three county transit agencies to supplement fares to operate the service. Last month, the Daily Journal reported that the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, the Bay Areas transportation planning agency, commissioned a ninecounty poll to gauge voter support for a gas tax that could be placed on the November 2012 ballot (Bay Area residents to be polled on gas tax published in the Sept. 16 edition of the Daily Journal). If such a tax directed some of its tax revenue to Caltrain operations, would be the first dedicated funding for Caltrain, assuming the voters supported it. Cargills new levee and no levee is disaster proof. It may be convenient for developers to claim that increasing the population our city by 30,000 will reduce traffic, or that putting 12,000 houses below sea level will reduce flooding, but that doesnt make it true. Their willingness to bend (or entirely subvert) the truth should give pause to all of us who truly care about the future of our city.

Traffic a concern for Saltworks development


Editor, Lately, supporters of the Alantis project, otherwise know as the salt ponds development have been claiming it will benefit Redwood City. How is that possible when the traffic in the area is already congested? Have any of development supporters try to exit Highway 101 at Woodside Road during noon or around 4 p.m. or 5 p.m. lately? The right lane is backing up on to the freeway. It is a miracle if someone doesnt rear end you as try to exit from the freeway. We dont need another Foster City and any further developments shrinking the Bay.

Obamas broken promise


Editor, So President Obama gives 539 million taxpayer dollars to this phony Solyndra company. The company big shots just happen to donate big bucks to the Obama campaign. Now maybe this is how Washington is supposed to work, but was not this the president who promised us no more lobbyists coming through the revolving doors?

Saltworks project would increase flooding


Editor, Im responding to the letter, The Saltworks proposal is the solution to flooding, in the Oct. 7 edition of the Daily Journal, which provided inaccurate information about flooding in Redwood City. The author seems to think that putting 30,000 people on Cargills salt ponds behind a massive new levee is somehow going to fix our problems. Well, I live in Harbor Village on East Bayshore Road and was flooded as recently as January. I had to wade through water to get in and out of my house. This has been happening for years, and Cargill has never lifted a finger to help us. In fact, the levees they have built around the salt ponds have actually prevented water from being able to flow out to the Bay like it would naturally backing up in our neighborhood instead. If the salt ponds are developed, city reports say that the project could actually increase flooding because of all the new impermeable surfaces they would build (see page 61 of the Notice of Preparation). In addition, 30,000 more people would be at risk of being flooded since all they would have protecting them from rising sea levels is

History of Palestine
Editor, Linda Busek is wrong about the history of the former Palestine (in her letter, Support Palestinian statehood in the Oct. 1 edition of the Daily Journal). Israel has been a sovereign nation since 1947. Israel has controlled the West Bank since the armistice line after the 1967 war. The U.N. cannot establish a legitimate Palestinian state in the West Bank. Israel wants a twostate solution but the way to a Palestinian state is direct negotiations with Israel without preconditions. This has been endorsed by President Obama, the European Quartet and some Arab countries, but rejected by Palestinian President Abbas and opposed by Hamas. Abbas told the U.N., I come to you from the Holy Land, the land of the ascension of Muhammad and the birthplace of Jesus Christ. He intentionally omitted that Jews have lived there for 3,000 years; ignoring Abraham, Moses and King David. The Palestinians and their supporters have attempted to rewrite history, but they cannot change history.

Underlying cause to Caltrains budget situation


Editor, It was a real pleasure to read the front page story in the Oct. 7 Daily Journal, Caltrain solves its budget. The good news even mitigated the bad news on Saturday morning when the first northbound train of the day broke down at the San Antonio station while I was waiting for it in Palo Alto. But even with this breakdown, there was good news: the audio messaging system announced the breakdown and the estimated duration of delay, and I was able to rush over to the Palo Alto Transit Center and catch a Samtrans No. 390 bus to Redwood City. So it seems that Caltrain will not have to declare a fiscal emergency as it has done for too many years. Riders can count on the 86 daily trains to take them to and from their destinations, barring breakdowns and other incidents that delay service for another year.

ho doesnt like having a choice? Sure, now and again making a decision can be a pain. The red flats or the black pumps? Chinese or Mexican? Take out or eat in? Answer the phone or let the unidentified caller default to voice mail? Pug or Labrador? Striped tie or solid? Cabo or Vegas? Sometimes theres something to be said to handing off the duty to somebody else. No responsibility and certainly no culpability. But at the end of the day heck, even mid-morning or right before happy hour theres something more worthy to be said for having the chance, the right even, to make up ones own mind. In just shy of a month, an opportunity to do so presents itself to pick, to choose, to have a hand in the rest of your life instead of just your wardrobe. You dont even have to exert that much energy, short of reading or listening, comprehending and forming an opinion. In other words, you get to vote. Just prior to every election, the pundits, talking heads and lowly columnists like yours truly bemoan voter apathy and wonder why the American public seem so willing to shirk a democratic privilege for which other countries draw blood and storm squares. This time the lecture is a little more keen considering that 100 years ago yesterday Oct. 10, 2011 women finally won the right to vote in California. The idea of women not being able to squawk up is still weird, although history books and documentaries prove that the second-class status did exist. More surprising, though, than a time when somebody like Hillary Rodham Clinton or Sarah Palin could not even cast a ballot let alone run for office is how few years separate us from that point. A century is all that is standing between that momentous Election Day and now, a time when non-participation is caused by laziness rather than legalities. To be fair, winning the vote was no cake walk. California was the sixth state to cave in to the newfangled idea that womens brains were good for something beyond recipes and child rearing. The right to vote was won by a measly 3,587 votes and eight counties including San Mateo County and neighboring liberal bastion San Francisco had majorities opposing Proposition Four, according to Secretary of State Debra Bowen. Even after Californias landmark election, the Nineteenth Amendment wouldnt grant women uniform voting rights until 1920. Again, in the grand scheme of things, a century is nothing but a short hop in time spanning a few generations. What is now taken for granted was once a bright new reality for our grandparents, great-grandparents and others whom we personally knew. So often history is beyond arms length; for womens suffrage, history is a blink of the eye. Interestingly, to put history in a nutshell, a large number of women lobbied to vote so they could be heard on other issues, such as temperance. Voting was a means to a different end. Perhaps thats fitting. After all, the act of voting is still a means to an end the determination of who should be leaders, what should be laws and how lives should be led even if that means allowing people to abdicate participation. So come Nov. 8, vote or dont vote. Its your choice, brought to you courtesy of the women who once never had one.

Wall Street
New York Stock Exchange. As in many recent days, a good part of the increase came at the nal minutes of trading. The Dow rose 100 points in the last half-hour. Analysts said the sudden moves arent likely to dissipate any time soon. Its probably going to continue to be a volatile period as people try to work things out and get some sense of where were heading in the future, said Brian Lazorishak, a portfolio manager at Charlottesville, Va.-based firm Chase Investment Council. That volatility gets exacerbated by people trying to jump on positive news and negative news before anyone else. The more we can put our arms around the problem with a little more detail, the better, and time frames usually help, said Michael Sansoterra, a portfolio manager at Silvant Capital Management in Atlanta. The Dow rose 330.06 points, or 3 percent, to close at 11,433.18. Thats the highest the index has been since Sept. 16. The Standard & Poors 500 index rose 39.43 or 3.4 percent, to 1,194.89.

NEW YORK Just last week, a bear market seemed inevitable. Since then stocks have surged four out of the past ve days, bringing the S&P 500 index up 8.7 percent. The latest jump came Monday after the leaders of France and Germany pledged to come up with a far-reaching solution to the regions debt crisis by the end of the month. The Dow Jones industrial average soared 330 points, its biggest one-day gain since Aug. 11. It has gained 7.3 percent over the past ve days. Bank of America Corp. jumped 6.4 percent, the most of the 30 stocks in the Dow. Sharp turnarounds in the market have become increasingly common. Starting in early August, the market entered a phase of extreme volatility as Europes debt crisis intensied and fears of another U.S. recession emerged. Last Tuesday, the S&P 500 traded 20 percent below its recent peak in April. Had it closed at or below that level, it would have met the denition of a bear market. Instead, the S&P began a rally that continued through Monday. The gains were extraordinarily broad; only 5 stocks in the S&P 500 index fell, and ten stocks rose for every one that fell on the

Netflix kills plan to split in two


Q&A on Netflix
Q: Will I have to go to two websites to manage my DVD queue and watch streaming videos? A:No.Netix on Monday backed off its plan to create two separate sites one at Netix.com for streaming videos,and another at Qwikster.com,for DVDs. Q:Will I still have to pay for the services separately? A: Youll have one account for both services. But the price changes Netix instituted in July,under which it charges separately for streaming and for DVDs,are still in place.In other words,streaming is no longer a freebie thrown in with the DVD subscription. Q:Why did Netix change its mind? A: Customers had greeted the idea with jeers and threats to take their business elsewhere.In a blog post, CEO Reed Hastings said hes realized the change would make things too complicated for subscribers. Q:Im confused.What plans does Netix offer now and how much does it charge for each? A: The video streaming service costs $8 per month. The DVD service starts at $5 if you want one DVD out at a time and a maximum of two mailings per month, and goes up to $44 for those who want to have eight DVDs out at a time and unlimited mailings. Q:Why did Netix think splitting the site in two was a good idea to begin with? A:The company sees the streaming service as its future, and what it wants to focus on.The DVD-by-mail service got Netix into homes,but its expensive to mail DVDs and the potential for growth is limited.In homes, the streaming service is making the jump from PCs to the living-room TV,thanks to game consoles,DVD players and TVs that come with the ability to connect to the Internet.Its also going outside the home,since Netix is now available on smartphones and tablets.

NEW YORK To the ranks of New Coke and the Edsel, we can now add Qwikster. Less than a month after announcing a plan to separate its DVD-by-mail and Internet streaming services, Netflix reversed course Monday and said it would keep the two services on a single website. Customers had complained loudly that the plan would have made it more difficult to watch movies. Investors hated it, too. In the end, the company backed down. But Netixs turbulent relationship with subscribers over the last three months raises questions about how its being managed during the transition from delivering movies on disc to sending them over the Internet. Until recently, CEO Reed Hastings had always seemed to possess an uncanny touch. He was the David who crushed goliath Blockbuster and a

visionary who foresaw the death of the DVD. He was also a beloved leader who lavished his employees with above-market paychecks and unlimited time off. When Netix employees were asked to describe Hastings, they often pointed to the George Clooney character in Oceans 11. But that cool, smooth operator seems to have vanished. Six months ago, Hastings and Netix could do no wrong. Today, he and the company are fodder for Saturday Night Live skits and targets of venom on social-networking sites. Netixs about-face initially pleased Wall Street. The stock rose as much as 10 percent in the rst minutes of trading. But enthusiasm waned in the afternoon, and Netix ended the day down 5 percent. Analysts praised Hastings attempt at a mea culpa, but the series of missteps has stirred doubts about his leadership at a time when the company faces wrenching industry change and ferocious competition.

After long wait,Facebook releases iPad app


By Peter Svensson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK One of the big, enduring questions of the technology world: When will iPad users get their very own Facebook app? That question was answered Monday, as Facebook released an updated version of its iPhone application, one thats

also designed to ll out the larger screen of the iPad. The lack of an iPad app for the most popular social network in the world has confounded users, ever since Apple launched its tablet computer a year and a half ago. Third-party developers have made money selling their own apps that show Facebook pages. Bret Taylor, the chief technology of-

cer of Facebook, said in an interview Monday that Were releasing it now because its done. Two weeks ago, Facebook engineer Jeff Verkoeyen announced on his personal blog that he was leaving to take a job with Google, and that the iPad app he had worked on was nearly complete in May. It was then repeatedly delayed through the summer, he said, without revealing exactly why.

Bank earnings to reflect slowdown from 3Q turmoil


By Pallavi Gogoi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Investors are bracing for a rough earnings season from banks. Turbulence in stock and bond markets, combined with waning confidence among business and consumers, hurt banks business in the third quar-

ter. IPOs were shelved, companies postponed plans to sell bonds, and acquisitions were put on ice. Consumers also held back on spending. The sharp drop in business activity hurt banks, which rely on borrowing by companies and consumers to make money. Most Wall Street analysts lowered their earnings estimates for large U.S. banks.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. will be the first major bank to report results Thursday, followed by Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Bank of America and Goldman Sachs the week after. The intense global market turmoil during the third quarter has already taken a toll on bank stocks. The KBW index of leading banks plunged 27 percent during the third quarter.

DETROIT Detroit Lions fans counted down the nal seconds as if it was New Years Eve when the franchise nished its rst Monday night game in a decade. The Motor City is hoping this party doesnt stop any time soon. Matthew Staffords second touchdown pass put Detroit ahead in the third quarter and Jahvid Bests 88-yard run later in the period gave the Lions a double-digit lead in a 24-13 win over the Chicago Bears. It was electric, Stafford said. Our fans came out and did an unbelievable job. The Lions did a pretty good job, too. Detroit(5-0) is undefeated through five games for the rst time since 1956 the year before its last NFL title. Lions coach Jim Schwartz, though, refused to be celebrate, pointing to the teams next game on Sunday at home against the San Francisco 49ers. Well start on San Fran in about an hour and a half, Schwartz said shortly after midnight. The defending NFC North champion Bears (2-3) are off to their worst start since 2007. They are three games behind Detroit and defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay (5-0) in the division. Detroit and its fans were clearly red up for the Monday night game. The Lions had their largest crowd at Ford Field and the 67,861 fans created enough noise to rattle the Bears into nine false starts. It was unbelievable, Stafford said. Especially early on, some of those third downs, you couldnt hear yourself think. The Bears looked unnerved at times by the raucous crowd. Chicago committed six false start penalties in the rst half an NFL season-high for a game, according to STATS, LLC. We were going against a loud crowd, but that isnt an excuse, Chicago coach Lovie Smith said. Pre-snap penalties kill you. Chicago quieted the fans briey by taking a 10-7 lead just before halftime and seemed to make them a little nervous by pulling within

ne of the denitions of the word maverick is an independent individual who does not go along with a group or party. Is there a more apt description of the late Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis? Love him or hate him, Davis did things his way, consequences be damned. If there was one song to be played at a Davis memorial, it has to be Frank Sinatras My Way, because Davis personied that song, as well. Davis served as coach, general manager and commissioner during his time in football and while some say the game had passed him over the last few years, he didnt see it that way. To him, his way was the right way. It was only a matter of nding the right coach and personnel to implement his plan. And that plan was not only to throw the ball deep, but bludgeon defenses with a hammering ground attack. Speed, tenacity and an edge were the attributes Davis sought in players and coaches. Most times, he hit: Ken Stabler, Jim Plunkett, Tim Brown. Other times, he missed: JaMarcus Russell, Lane Kifn. Whether he got it right or wrong, Davis made his decision and stuck by it. And when it came time to release a player or re a coach, he made that decision and stood by it as well. In Davis mind, he was never wrong. Never made a mistake when it came to football. The big question is now, who runs the team? CEO Amy Trask has run the business side of the team for years now. Who will run the football operations? That is a question to be answered in the future. Rest assured it will be someone who has ties with the Raiders, because if there is one thing that characterized Davis more than his maverick persona was his loyalty to

opener, the Tigers stranded 13 this time. The ve they wasted in the first two innings were as painful as the ve they left in the last three innings. They made every pitch when then needed it, Cabrera said. Another stat thats tough Ryan Perry for Detroit to swallow: 1 for 12 with runners in scoring position in Game 2. The lone exception was Ryan Raburns three-run homer in the third inning. Its just been two close games and could have gone either way, said cleanup hitter Victor Martinez, who went 0 for 4 and is 0 for 7 in the series. Unfortunately, we end up on the losing side, but ... were going home. Weve been doing it the whole season: turn the page, come back tomorrow and keep on going.

Cardinals 12, Brewers 3


Brewers had won all four home games in the playoffs until Monday. Pujols was 1 for 4 in Sunday nights loss, hitting into a double play with runners on rst and third in the seventh inning. A run scored on the play, Albert Pujols but it seemed to be an indication that Pujols wasnt quite on his game. He came into Monday with only one RBI in the Cardinals rst six postseason games. But Pujols struck a condent tone when asked about his struggles after Sunday nights loss, saying Tomorrow I can come and blow it out, and what are you going to say tomorrow? Blow it out, he did. Rickie Weeks hit a two-run homer in the fourth for Milwaukee, then was involved in a disputed play in the fth. With the bases

ARLINGTON, Texas The Detroit Tigers certainly had their chances in Game 2 of the AL championship series. Two on and none out in the rst inning, middle of the order coming up. Bases loaded in the second and ninth. A runner on second base with one out in the 10th. A man on for AL batting champion Miguel Cabrera in the 11th. Detroit couldnt manage a single run in any of those situations, failures that loomed large once Ryan Perry served up a game-ending grand slam to Nelson Cruz in the 11th inning, giving the Texas Rangers a 7-3 victory Monday and sending the Tigers home trailing 0-2 in the best-of-seven ALCS. We didnt quite get it done, Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. We havent been able to come up with any big hits. Thats really hard. Weve had some opportunities, but up to this point, we just havent been able to do that. After leaving nine runners on base in the

MILWAUKEE Your turn, Albert Pujols. The St. Louis slugger had one of the biggest postseason nights of his career in Game 2 of the NL championship series, going 4 for 5 with a home run, three doubles and ve RBIs to lead the Cardinals past the Milwaukee Brewers 12-3 on Monday. Tied at one game apiece, the series now shifts to St. Louis, where Cardinals ace Chris Carpenter will face Brewers right-hander Yovani Gallardo on Wednesday night. Pujols belted a two-run homer in the rst, a two-run double in the third and an RBI double in the fth, then added another double in the seventh. The crowd cheered sarcastically when the Brewers nally retired him in the eighth. His big hits came one night after Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder bashed the Brewers to a 9-6, come-from-behind victory in Game 1. This time, the big bats couldnt bring Milwaukee back even at Miller Park. The See ALCS, Page 14 best home team in the majors all season, the

A successful weekend for local colleges


DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

Both the College of San Mateo and Menlo College football teams won via shutout this weekend, the CSM womens water polo team won a pair of matches and the Menlo College womens volleyball team also recorded a win, while Notre Dame de Namur University had four soccer players (one male, three females) named to the Pac West Conference athletic honor roll.

CSM scored 21 points in the rst quarter and never looked back. The Bulldogs took a 27-0 lead at halftime and continued to pour it on in the second half, scoring 34 more points.

WOMENS WATER POLO


The Lady Bulldogs won both their matches in their own tournament, although their win over Sacramento City was technically by forfeit. The win runs CSMs record to 8-5 overall. In CSMs rst game, the Bulldogs buried De Anza, 12-1, taking an 8-0 lead at halftime in a game that went against coach Randy Wrights desire to slow down the pace of the game. We really made it difcult on De Anzas offense, Wright said in an email. We had a number of steals and we were off and running. We had great looks and were in control from the start. Gianna Davino led the scoring onslaught with four goals. Kathryn Velichko, Angelica Medina and Paige Ramstack each added a pair of goals, with Andrea Carranza and Rachel Rosas rounding out the scoring. The Bulldogs also got strong play again in the cage from goalie Daria Kekuewa, who allowed only one goal while making nine saves.

College of San Mateo


FOOTBALL
The Bulldogs closed out non-conference play Saturday afternoon with a 61-0 blasting of host Los Medanos-Pittsburg. CSM (4-1 overall) started quickly, intercepting a pass on Los Medanos rst play from scrimmage and then drove 52 yards for the opening score. It was complete domination by the Bulldogs. The racked up 517 yards of offense, while holding Los Medanos (0-5) to less than 200. The Bulldogs got all three of their quarterbacks involved and made the decision as to who will start the NorCal Conference opener even tougher for the coaching staff as all three were effective. Jonathan Willis, seeing his rst action of the season, had a big game. He led the Bulldogs in rushing with 107 yards and two touchdowns on 10 carries, while also passing for 91 yards on 5 of 12 passing. Blake Plattsmier and Miles Freeman, the other two quarterbacks, each scored a rushing touchdown as well.

It was the Oaks fourth road win of the season and the fth win of the season (5-1). Menlo College was dominated in the yardage department, as Webber International outgained the Oaks 244-61, but Menlo came up with three turnovers and forced the Warriors to turn the ball over on downs four other times. The Warriors also obliged by missing a pair of eld goals. Matt Pelesasa, the former Woodside and CSM standout, tossed a pair of touchdown passes in an otherwise forgettable afternoon, as he completed just 7 of 16 passes for 39 yards. But the two scoring passes were enough. Menlo took a 6-0 lead with 3:43 left to play in the first half when Pelesasa hit Daniel Stevenson for a 9-yard scoring strike. Two minutes later, the Oaks increased their lead to 13-0. Menlos Steven Lopes set up the score by intercepting a Warriors pass and returning it to the Webber International 8-yard line. On the next play, Pelesasa hit Robert Adan for his ninth scoring reception of the season. The Oaks will be on the road this weekend when they travel to Tacoma, Wash. to take on Pacic Lutheran University at 1 p.m.

Cal Pac Conference mark to 3-1. Stephanie Monderine led the Oaks with nine kills in the win over Merced. Jessica Atthowe had nine assists and, along with Mika Mendoza, added 10 digs. Menlo will be on the road this weekend with a pair of Cal Pac Conference matches Saturday against rst place Holy NamesOakland (4-0) Friday and Simpson University-Redding (3-1), which is tied with Menlo in the standing. Both matches begin at 7 p.m.

Notre Dame de Namur


SOCCER
The womens soccer team went 1-0-1 last week and had three players earn spots on the weekly Pac West athletic honor roll. The Lady Argos improved to 2-1-2 in Pac West play and 3-6-2 overall. Sarah Biser registered two goals and an assist for five points in a 3-2 win over Academy of Art Saturday, two days after battling the Urban Knights to a 2-2 double-overtime tie. Also on the honor roll were Jessica Santos and Victoria Colon. Santos scored two goals last week, while Colon tallied a goal and an assist. On the mens side, NDNUs Cristobal Montes scored the game-winner in the Argos 1-0 win over Academy of Arts Saturday. The Argos are currently 2-3 in Pac West play and 6-5 overall.

West-leading 49ers on a roll


By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA The 49ers are headed to Motown with some serious mojo. Running back Frank Gore reects on his dominant days at the University of Miami. Cornerback Carlos Rogers also has to go back to his college career at Auburn to nd a time when things were going this well. Were just rollin, Gore said Monday, a day after his second straight 100-yard rushing performance in a 48-3 rout of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Quarterback Alex Smith and San Franciscos improving offense are pilFrank Gore ing up points as in 62 the past six quarters while timely plays by guys like Rogers on defense are creating extra scoring chances and positive eld position, too. Both sides of the ball and special teams have carried the division-leading 49ers to a surprising 4-1 start. Not to mention new kicker David Akers and reliable punter Andy Lee, who are also doing their parts in the process, as rstyear coach Jim Harbaugh always refers to his teams 2011 journey. The way things have started in the Harbaugh era, that might mean nally ending an eight-year playoff drought come January. Were not going to change, but were going to strive to improve, Harbaugh said. At this stage last season, the 49ers were 0-5 the teams worst start since San Francisco dropped seven straight to begin a 2-14 season in

1979, late Hall of Fame coach Bill Walshs rst year. We aint even touched the surface, tight end Delanie Walker said. Theres still a lot we havent done yet. Its early in the season youre going to see a lot more comDelanie Walker ing. Alex is going to be the man. Youre going to hear a lot more of them chanting Alex after the game. Just wait and see. Its going to be a roller coaster ride. While Harbaugh is preaching humility, the 49ers are still riding high. A few postgame tweets from Sunday night tell it all. Right tackle Anthony Davis (AnthonyDavis76): Good ol fashioned passionate (butt) whoopin.. lol. Wide receiver Michael Crabtree (KingCrab15): 48-3... Beating the Lions on Sunday certainly wont come as easily. And there is sure to be some hype with Harbaugh headed back to the state where he starred for Michigan and was even wooed to be the Wolverines new coach last winter but ultimately chose to leave Stanford for the 49ers instead. His players are so glad he did. Most would say Harbaugh is earning every bit of that $25 million, ve-year contract he received to lead a franchise that hasnt had a winning season or made the playoffs since 2002. This 4-1 start is the best since that 02 team that was trounced 31-6 by Tampa Bay in the NFC divisional playoffs. Its truly different. I dont even like to go in the past, Walker said. Its a turnaround. I dont

even want to say its the players because weve got the same players from when I rst came here. Its got to be the coaches. Coaches are doing a great job. Its just unbelievable. You cant even speak about it. Were moving on, were looking to Jim Harbaugh the future. Thats why Ive never liked to talk about the past. Were setting the standard of real 49er football. Under Harbaugh, this group has shown it has a legitimate chance to win every week even against contenders the Niners arent supposed to beat. San Francisco easily could be undefeated had it not blown a late lead in a 27-24 overtime loss to the Cowboys on Sept. 18. The offensive line is making strides, not allowing a sack Sunday for the second time this year and rst since the season opener against Seattle. Sundays win marked the Niners largest margin of victory since they blanked the Los Angeles Rams 48-0 on Dec. 27, 1987 and it matched the Bucs worst loss ever. This impressive stretch began when San Francisco rallied from a 20-point third-quarter decit to stun the Eagles 24-23 on Oct. 2. Smith went 21 of 33 for 291 yards and two touchdowns without an interception completing 13 of 17 passes for 201 yards and two TDs in the second half. Then, the 2005 No. 1 overall pick followed that up with another gem against the Bucs that Harbaugh called lights out. The coach turned to backup QB Colin Kaepernick to nish the game with a huge lead.

WR Morgan out with broken leg

SANTA CLARA San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Joshua Morgan will miss signicant time with a broken bone in his lower right leg that requires surgery. Coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that Morgan was scheduled for a procedure. He was injured late in the fourth quarter of San Franciscos 48-3 victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Its more serious than what I thought after the ballgame yesterday, Harbaugh said. Josh is going to be out Joshua Morgan for an extended time, longer than we anticipated and longer than we hoped longer than you can afford to have him out. ... I just feel sick for him and for our team. Theres nobody you can afford to lose. Especially him, Josh was really playing well. Morgan caught a 19-yard pass from backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick on fourth-and-3 and was tackled just short of the goal line one of his ve receptions for 75 yards Sunday for the NFC West leaders. He grimaced in pain and stayed on the ground for several minutes as teammates gathered around in support. Fans at Candlestick Park chanted Morgan! Morgan! before he was carried off by Vernon Davis and trainers and then carted to the locker room. San Francisco is already without receiver Braylon Edwards, recovering from surgery on his right knee. Harbaugh hopes to have him back Oct. 30 against Cleveland following the bye week.

outs for Santiago. He hit a grounder that nearly made it into center eld, but Texas second baseman Ian Kinsler stopped the ball and ipped it to shortstop Elvis Andrus to narrowly get the force out at second base. Raburns homer in the third put the Tigers ahead for the rst time all series, but they couldnt push another run across against a series of Texas relievers. The Rangers bullpen threw 8 1-3 shutout innings, with Scott Feldman settling things down for the rst 4 13 and Mike Adams going the nal inning for the win. Texas relievers have combined for 12 2-3 scoreless innings during the rst two games of the series, allowing ve hits and three walks while striking out 16. With these pitching staffs, runs are hard to come by usually, said Andy Dirks, a lateinning replacement who went 0 for 2 and let a y ball tick off the end of his glove in right eld just before Cruzs winning slam. Youve just got to keep battling every at-bat. Sometimes youre going to produce a run here or there and theyre all big. Youve just got to keep ghting. Detroits best chance against the Rangers bullpen came in the ninth. With two outs, Santiago singled and Don Kelly doubled to the right-eld wall. The Tigers could have gambled and gone for the go-ahead run, but thirdbase coach Gene Lamont held up Santiago. The ball came back to him (Cruz, the right elder), Leyland said. Thats kind of the luck of the draw. Texas went to closer Neftali Feliz and had him intentionally walk Cabrera, loading the bases for Martinez. He hit a are into shallow center eld that Andrus juggled, pinning the ball against his chest to end the threat. division series against Arizona, his place in the Brewers postseason rotation might come into question. St. Louis got started early when Jon Jay bunted for a one-out hit in the rst. Pujols came to the plate and delivered what amounted to a warning shot, hitting a long y just foul. Then he zeroed in on Marcums 2-1 offering, smacking it to left eld for a home run. Pujols stood at the plate and admired his shot for a moment, ipped his bat away and trotted around the bases. St. Louis added two more runs in the third. Jacksons single fell in when center elder Nyjer Morgan got a bad break on the ball, tried to make a diving catch and then dropped it. With one out, Jay sneaked a single down the third-base line, again setting the stage for Pujols. Pujols hammered a pitch deep to center, Morgan missed a chance at what would have been an acrobatic catch, and two runs scored to give the Cardinals a 4-0 lead. Pujols pointed to the sky upon arriving at second base, then clapped his hands.

Stern cancels first two ALCS weeks of NBA season


By Brian Mahoney
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Saying he was sad and sorry, NBA Commissioner David Stern canceled the first two weeks of the season Monday after players and owners were unable to reach a new labor deal to end the lockout. The gap is so signicant that we just cant bridge it at this time, said Stern, who added its doubtful a full 82-game season can be played. We certainly hoped it would never come to this, he said of the NBAs rst work stoppage since the 1998-99 season was reduced to 50 games. This is not where we choose to be, union president Derek Fisher said. Were not at a place where a fair deal can be reached with the NBA. With just three weeks remaining before the start of the season, top negotiators for both sides met for more than seven hours Monday but were unable to reach an agreement.

The two sides expect to remain in contact, but no additional formal talks have been scheduled. Stern said both sides are very far apart on virtually all issues. ... We just have a gulf that separates us. Opening night was David Stern scheduled for Nov. 1, and the cancellation includes all games scheduled to be played through Nov. 14. Affected arenas have been authorized to release dates for those dates. With another work stoppage, the NBA risks alienating a fan base that sent the leagues revenues and TV ratings soaring during the 2010-11 season. And the cost of cancellations would be staggering. Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver said the league would lose hundreds of millions of dollars, while union executive director Billy Hunter estimated players losses at $350 million for each month they were locked out.

Leyland insists his club is ne, especially headed to Detroit. After all, if the Tigers keep getting this many chances to score, the lineup is bound to start coming through. Still, theyre running out of time. Only three teams have overcome 0-2 decits in the LCS since it became a seven-game series in 1985: the Royals and Cardinals, both in 85, and the 2004 Red Sox, who famously clawed from an 0-3 hole to become World Series champions. Theyve got to win two more. We have to win four. Its that simple, Leyland said. Doug Fister, who won the rst-round nale at Yankee Stadium, pitches for Detroit in Game 3. Colby Lewis starts for Texas.

Its going to be another battle again. Just come out and play hard and see what happens. Martinez and leadoff hitter Austin Jackson each went 0 for 4 on Monday. But pretty much everyone had a chance to get the big hit.

Reality of Davisdeath hits Raiders Suspension


By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA The reality hit Oakland Raiders coach Hue Jackson as he got in his car Monday to drive to work after an emotional weekend. He heard a radio report about this weekends death of longtime Raiders owner Al Davis and it hit him that there will be no day-after-game phone calls, no more discussions of strategy and no more talks with the man who gave him his rst shot at being head coach. Yeah, its different, a lot different. Ill miss it, Jackson said, his voice cracking. The Raiders began the process of moving on following Davis death Saturday at age 82. They learned of the death while they were in Houston and went out and beat the Texans 25-20 when Michael Huff intercepted a pass in the end zone on the nal play. Jackson fell to his knees after that play and cried, letting out a weekends worth of emotions. I cant pick up the phone and call Coach anytime I want anymore, Jackson said. I cant call Coach and ask what he thinks about this or that, or Im not going to get any of those late-night phone calls at 11 p.m. or midnight to say, Hue, what are you doing? Thats different. All of that hit me at that particular moment. All of that is done. You have to move on to the next chapter. The Raiders had an emotional return home Sunday night, with hundreds of fans welcoming them back to the team facility to congratulate them on the victory. Jackson said hed been welcomed back by fans after winning playoff games as an assistant in Baltimore but never like the scene Sunday night when some players mingled with the fans

for more than an hour. This felt different, Jackson said. The feeling of what had happened was still near and dear to everybody, losing Coach. It was just different. It was more a celebration of a win and a mans life. It was amazing. What a tremendous feeling Al Davis it was last night. Jackson said Davis would not want the team to still grieve over his death or use it as fuel for the rest of the season, saying instead the focus should be on preparing for the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Thats not what he was about, Jackson said. Dont use a rallying cry over him. Do your job. Do your job and perform because thats what he pays you to do, to be the best you can be. It was never about one person. If any team ever was about one person, it was Davis Raiders. He was owner, general manager, architect of the teams philosophy on the eld and the man who turned the Raiders into a global brand during his nearly half-century with the franchise. Jackson said he will now be the point person on personnel moves, consulting with Davis son, Mark, and others in the organization as need be. Were in a great situation right now because weve laid such a good foundation, Jackson said. Coach had laid such a good foundation with the people that are here, that were kind of up and running and moving in that direction already. Mark Davis has been a more visible presence around the team in recent years, frequently attending practices in training camp and going
She said: He found his center again when he started practicing karate. He said: Oh, is that what it is?

to most games. Mark Davis was in Houston with the team on Sunday, hugging players before the game and congratulating them after it. He loves us players, he loves this organization and he loves his team, safety Mike Mitchell said. Were Hue Jackson going to all come together. I think this whole organization is going to grow and get a little bit closer because of this. I think the skys the limit. While many of the rookies never had the chance to meet Al Davis as his health prevented him from being around his team as much as he liked, others in the locker room have relationships that date back years. Backup linebacker Bruce Davis has known Davis longer than any of his teammates, having met him as a 2-year-old when his father, Bruce, played for the team. Al Davis called Bruce when the Raiders signed him last season, telling him he remembered him as a toddler playing at the team facility. Bruce Davis delivered one of the big plays in the game, deecting a punt in the rst quarter to set up a eld goal. Hes been a part of my life and my familys life, Bruce Davis said. He gave two generations of Davis men the opportunity to live out our dreams and play football. Since I was a kid, I wanted to be a Raider. I grew up watching my dad. Theres nothing like that silver and black jersey. Its so important to my family. Its such a huge thing. Some of the greatest memories my family has are of the Raiders and of Al. It was emotional but we just wanted to go out there and play hard and honor his name the right way.

ALAMEDA Oakland Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor has completed his ve-game suspension and is now eligible to practice with the team. Pryor had to serve the suspension at the start of his rookie season when he was allowed to participate in the supplemental draft. Pryor left Ohio State instead of serving a vegame ban after being involved in a cash-formemorablia scandal that has put the Buckeyes under NCAA investigation. Pryor was selected by the Raiders in the third round Terrelle Pryor of the supplemental draft Aug. 22. He has not been allowed to practice with his team since the end of preseason, but has been attending meetings and doing individual drills.

NFL brief
Hillis doubting future with Browns
BEREA, Ohio Browns running back Peyton Hillis says hes now worried about not being able to sign a long-term contract extension with the club. Hillis said Monday he has no regrets about sitting out Clevelands game on Sept. 25 with strep throat, a decision that fueled speculation he missed the game to protest not getting a new deal. Hillis has said he wants to stay in Cleveland, but is beginning to doubt that will happen.

Their defense made us earn everything. We didnt do the same. Stafford lofted a pass to Calvin Johnson for a 73-yard score extending his NFLrecord start with nine TD catches in five games early in the second quarter. Bests 88-yard run was the second-longest in franchise history, trailing only Bob Hoernschemeyers 96-yard run against the New York Yankees on Nov. 23, 1950. It was 3 yards longer than Barry Sanders longest gain on the ground. Smith was dumbfounded that Best wasnt touched on the run through a hole up the middle and past the secondary. Hard to swallow, Smith said. Jahvid Best is a good player, but we cant let that happen. Stafford was 19 of 26 for 219 yards with with the team for two years last year as the offensive coordinator and now as the head man he talks and acts as if hes been a Raider lifer. And he may be. He already has returned the team to relevancy after years of it being a league laughingstock. To me, he says all the right things: from, what he said, were daily calls with Davis, to his no BS belief that the Raiders will be a good football team. Not, Well be a good football team if. He shows a swagger and condence that has been missing on the Raiders sideline since Jon Gruden was coach. Unlike Gruden, however, Jackson doesnt appear to be a cheerleader for himself. I cant envision Jackson believing he will ever be bigger than the Raiders. *** As long as were on football, heres a questwo TDs, including the go-ahead score to Brandon Pettigrew from 18 yards with 9:55 to go in the third quarter. Best more than doubled his previous career-high with 163 yards rushing on 12 carries. Johnson finished with five catches for 130 yards and for the first time this season, he didnt score twice, but he made an impact as usual against a team that tried to slow him down with double coverage. Matt Forte ran for 116 yards on 22 carries for the Bears. Jay Cutler was 28 of 38 for 249 yards with a TD and no interceptions. They were getting 3, 4 yards of surge every time and that makes it hard to stay in the pocket, Cutler said. He was sacked three times and was hurried and hit many more times. tion that hasnt been asked in the Bay Area in a long time: Which is the best NFL team right now? Over the last 10 years, the question has been which is worse. Both teams have winning records and, while the Raiders have played the tougher schedule, the 49ers have one more win and one less loss than Oakland, which gives them the inside edge over Oakland right now. San Francisco quarterback Alex Smith, who has been the teams whipping boy for the last six years, is putting together an eye-opening season thus far. According to various outlets, Smith is among the best quarterbacks in the NFL right now. Although hes not putting up huge numbers, hes not hurting the team either. *** Is anyone watching the baseball playoffs? Not according to the television ratings. A

Jay was under a lot of pressure, Smith said. But he kept us in it. Cutlers 9-yard pass to Kellen Davis gave the Bears a three-point lead late in the first half, but it wasnt large enough to hold off the NFLs first team to come back from 20point deficits in consecutive weeks. Detroit didnt need to rally this time, taking the lead and making enough plays on both sides of the ball to keep it much to the delight of the sports-crazed fans in their state that are buzzing about them, the Tigers along with Michigan and Michigan States ranked football teams. The Lions, who became the NFLs first 016 team just two years ago during the leagues worst stretch of futility since World War II, are finally giving their legion of followers something to cheer about. meaningless Sunday night football game drew more viewers than the MLB baseball playoffs. Why? I think one reason is no one knows what channel the playoffs are on. I think its TBS right now, but I couldnt say for sure. I guess if anyone really cared, you could nd out. Unlike football, baseball does not have a go-to channel. Fox broadcasts baseball during the regular season, but then the playoffs move to TBS? How does that make sense? I have not watched one inning of the playoffs this season. I coming to the realization that Im really a Giants fan and not so much a baseball fan. Once football starts, baseball is just too long and drawn out too boring.

eight points with 4:07 left to play. Best, though, made them roar again with a 43-yard run that was capped by a horse-collar penalty that gave Detroit the ball at the Chicago 22. He ran for another first down that took time off the clock and set up Jason Hansons 31-yard kick with 1:56 to go to seal the victory. The Lions got some large gains on offense and a lot of solid and subtle ones on defense, holding Chicago to just three points in the second half. Cant give up the big plays, Smith said.

New prostate cancer test advice overturns dogma


By Lauran Neergaard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Men nally may be getting a clearer message about undergoing PSA screening for prostate cancer: Dont do it. They may not listen. After all, the vast majority of men over 50 already get tested. The idea that nding cancer early can harm instead of help is a hard one to understand. But its at the heart of a government panels draft recommendation that those PSA blood tests should no longer be part of routine screening for healthy men. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force examined all the evidence and found little if any reduction in deaths from routine PSA screening. But it did conclude that too many men are diagnosed with tumors that never would have killed them and suffer serious side effects from resulting treatment.

We have been poked and probed,we have been operated on by doctors and robots,we have been radiated with fancy machines,we have spent literally billions of dollars.And what do we have? A mess of false hope?
American Cancer Societys Dr.Len Lichtenfeld

That recommendation isnt nal its a draft open for public comment. But it goes a step further than several major cancer groups including the American Cancer Society, which urges that men be told the pros and cons and decide for themselves. The new advice is sure to be hugely controversial. Already some doctors are rejecting it. We all agree that weve got to do a better job of guring out who would benet from PSA screening. But a blanket statement of just doing away with it altogether ... seems over-aggressive and irresponsible, said Dr. Scott Eggener, a prostate cancer specialist at the University of Chicago.

In the exam room, explaining the aws in PSA testing has long been difcult. Men have been confused about this for a very long time, not just men patients but men doctors, said Dr. Yul Ejnes, a Cranston, R.I., internal medicine specialist who chairs the American College of Physicians board of regents. He turned down his own physicians offer of a PSA test after personally reviewing the research. Theres this dogma ... that early detection saves lives. Its not necessarily true for all cancers, Ejnes said. Thats an emotional shift, as the American Cancer Societys Dr. Len Lichtenfeld voiced on his blog on

Friday. We have invested over 20 years of belief that PSA testing works. ... And here we are all of these years later, and we dont know for sure, Lichtenfeld wrote. We have been poked and probed, we have been operated on by doctors and robots, we have been radiated with fancy machines, we have spent literally billions of dollars. And what do we have? A mess of false hope? Too much PSA, or prostate-specific antigen, in the blood only sometimes signals prostate cancer is brewing. It also can mean a benign enlarged prostate or an infection. In fact, most men who undergo a biopsy for an abnormal PSA test dont turn out to have prostate cancer.

Screening often detects small tumors that will prove too slowgrowing to be deadly by one estimate, in 2 of every 5 men whose cancer is caught through a PSA test. But theres no way to tell in advance who needs treatment. If we had a test that could distinguish between a cancer that was going to be aggressive and a cancer that was not, that would be fabulous, said Dr. Virginia Moyer of the Baylor College of Medicine, who chairs the task force, an independent expert group that reviews medical evidence for the government. About one in six U.S. men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point in their life. Yet the cancer society notes that in Western European countries where screening isnt common, 1 in 10 men are diagnosed and the risk of death in both places is the same. In the U.S., about 217,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year, and 32,000 die.

Paralyzed man uses mind-powered robot arm


By Lauran Neergaard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PITTSBURGH Giving a high-five. Rubbing his girlfriends hand. Such ordinary acts but a milestone for a paralyzed man. True, a robotic arm parked next to his wheelchair did the touching, painstakingly, palm to palm. But Tim Hemmes made that arm move just by thinking about it. Emotions surged. For the rst time in the seven years since a motorcycle accident left him a quadriplegic, Hemmes was reaching out to someone even if it was only temporary, part of a monthlong science experiment at the University of Pittsburgh. It wasnt my arm but it was my brain, my thoughts. I was moving something, Hemmes says. I dont have one single word to give you what I felt at that moment. That word doesnt exist. The Pennsylvania man is among the pioneers in an ambitious quest for thought-controlled prosthetics to give the paralyzed more independence the ability to feed themselves, turn a doorknob, hug a loved one. The goal is a Star Trek-like melding of mind and machine, combining whats considered the most humanlike bionic arm to date even the ngers bend like real ones - with tiny chips implanted in the brain. Those electrodes tap into electrical signals from brain cells that command movement. Bypassing a broken spinal cord, they relay those signals to the robotic third arm. This research is years away from commercial use, but numerous teams are investigating different methods. At Pittsburgh, monkeys learned to feed themselves marshmallows by thinking a robot arm into motion. At Duke University, monkeys used their thoughts to move virtual arms on a computer and got feedback that let them distinguish the texture of what they touched. Through a project known as BrainGate and other research, a few paralyzed people outtted with brain electrodes have used their minds to work computers, even make simple movements with prosthetic arms. But can these neuroprosthetics ever offer the complex, rapid movements that people would need for more practical, everyday use? We really are at a tipping point now with

for soon-to-start yearlong experiments. It was awesome, is the decidedly unscientic description from the normally reserved Dr. Michael Boninger, rehabilitation chief at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. To interact with a human that way. ... This is the beginning. *** Hemmes journey began in 2004. He owned an auto-detailing shop and rode his motorcycle in his spare time. Then one summer evening he swerved to miss a deer. His bike struck a guardrail. His neck snapped. His determination didnt. Paralyzed below the shoulders, hes tried other experimental procedures in hopes, so far unrealized, of regaining some arm function. I always tell people your legs are great ... but they just get you from here to there, Hemmes says as his caregiver waits to feed him a bite of a cheeseburger near his home in Butler, north of Pittsburgh. Your arms and ngers and hands do everything else. I have to get those back, I absolutely have to. His ultimate goal is to hug his 8-year-old daughter. Im going to do whatever it takes, as long as it takes, to do that again. Hemmes entered an operating room at Tim Hemmes likened moving the DARPA arm to learning to drive a car with a manual UPMC with a mix of nerves and excitement. transmission.It took practice,but by week four he was moving the arm sideways as well as back Its good anxiety, he says.

Boninger adds that scar tissue can blunt the penetrating electrodes over time, and the surface chips may be easier to convert to a wireless system, which is important for commercial use. *** Hemmes operation took two hours. He had practiced imagining arm movements inside brain scanners, to see where the electrical signals concentrated. Thats where neurosurgeon Elizabeth Tyler-Kabara cut, attaching the chip through an inch-wide opening on the left side of Hemmes skull. Two days later, Hemmes was hooked to a computer, beginning simple cursor movements. The next week, it was time to test if he could trigger real-life movement using the DARPA arm. Hemmes reclined in his wheelchair, the robot arm bolted to a steel rod nearby. The task: make the arm reach out to grasp a ball mounted on a board. The arm whirs forward, then stops, then goes again, then suddenly pulls back. Its doing the opposite of what I ask it do, Hemmes says in frustration. When I think about reaching back, it goes forward. Dr. Wei Wang, a member of the research team, watches Hemmes brain patterns on a nearby computer screen, trying to match them to the robotic movements. Focus on your elbow, Wang advises. Hemmes takes a deep breath and tries. The arm whirs forward this time, reaching the ball. The ngers clench around it. Theres no owners manual, Hemmes says, thrilled that the back-and-forth pays off. Im training my brain to gure how to do all this. Letting go is harder, the motor growling as the arm tugs backward before the ngers fully release. Hemmes starts imagining his hand relaxing before pulling backward, and the robot hand follows. *** Sure, a robotic hand that one day mounts to a wheelchair could be useful. But no matter how well todays prosthetics move, theyve got a problem: They dont sense what they touch. Normally, instant messages ash from the skin up to the brain to say squeeze tighter so we dont drop that coffee cup, or tight enough so we dont hug too hard. Besides, Hemmes shares the dream of many quadriplegics. He doesnt want a bionic third hand. He wants to move his own hands again. These are all scientic goals that are very real, Boninger says. Recreating sensation means crafting a twoway highway with those brain chips. Thats what Duke University, in a study published last week in the journal Nature, did with its two monkeys. When the animals touched objects on a computer screen with their video game-like arms, electrical signals flashed back up to implanted electrodes different signals for different textures, to tell the objects apart. Sensors in the DARPA arms ngertips allow for that same kind of feedback. McLoughlin says the plan is for one of the Pittsburgh study patients to begin testing touch capability next year, with a similar attempt at the California Institute of

Technology to follow. What about moving paralyzed limbs? Dukes plan is to turn its research into a robotic exoskeleton that would help the paralyzed move their bodies. Hemmes is more intrigued by whats called functional electrical stimulation, zapping muscles with electrical currents to make them move. At Hemmes request, Boningers team attempted to t his hand with a stimulator glove that might be linked to his electrode, but it was unsuccessful. The NIHs Chen says still other researchers are working on that kind of approach. *** Hemmes likened moving the DARPA arm to learning to drive a car with a manual transmission. It took practice, but by week four he was moving the arm sideways as well as back and forth. The fingers still clenched pretty tight, though. So when his girlfriend Katie Schaffer spoke up I want to hold your hand, she said on his last day of testing - Hemmes didnt dare bend them. The two met after his accident, so hed never before reached out to her. I was just trying to be gentle. I didnt want to hurt her, and I nally got there, Hemmes says. Denitely the tears were owing. He says he was ready for a break after almost daily scientic testing, so removing the electrode and wires the next day wasnt a disappointment. Hes confident the researchers will call him back once the technology advances. I believe this is the future, he says. Just let people know theres hope.

neuroscientists and physicians. The DARPA arm was developed primarily for amputees. Separate research is under way to help them move it by using transplanted nerves to sense those brain commands. The paralyzed pose a more difcult challenge: getting those signals around a broken spinal cord. For quadriplegic patients, scientists use implanted electrodes, called a brain-computer interface or BCI, to record that electrical activity. The signals move down through wires that tunnel under the skin and out by the collarbone, and are plugged into a computer or a robotic arm. Until now, researchers mostly have tested miniature electrodes that poke inside the brains motor cortex and record from individual cells, presumably allowing for precise movements. Pittsburghs next test-patient will have two penetrating grids implanted in different parts of the cortex for a year to record from 200 cells altogether. In contrast, Hemmes chip sat on the surface of his motor cortex, a less invasive method that records from groups of cells. The size of two postage stamps, its based on a kind of electrical signal mapping used to track seizures in epilepsy patients. Both approaches need study, says Daofen Chen of the National Institutes of Health, who oversees neurorehabilitation research. He compares the options to eavesdropping on a

KidsER concussion visits up 60 percent over decade


By Mike Stobbe
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA The number of athletic children going to hospitals with concussions is up 60 percent in the past decade, a nding that is likely due to parents and coaches being more careful about treating head injuries, according to a new federal study. Its a good increase, if that makes any sense, said Steve Marshall, interim director of the University of North Carolinas Injury Prevention and Research Center. These injuries were always there. Its not that there are more injuries now. Its just that now people are getting treatment that they werent getting before, said Marshall, who was not involved in the new research. Bicycling and football were the leading reasons for the kids brain injuries, but health ofcials said that could be at least partly related to the popularity of those activities. For example, its possible many more kids bike, so a larger number of bike-related injuries would be expected. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study is based on a survey of 66 hospital emergency departments that was designed to be nationally representative. The CDC looked at non-fatal data for the years 2001 through 2009 for kids and teens ages 19 and younger. The agency looked at traumatic brain injuries, a category of injuries that mostly counts concussions but also includes skull fractures and bleeding in the brain. The estimated numbers of kids coming into ERs with these brain injuries rose dramatically, about 153,000 in 2001 to nearly 250,000 in 2009. The rate also rose, also by about 60 percent. However, there was not a signicant increase in the rate of kids who were immediately admit-

Younger kids commonly got their concussions on the playground or from biking.Older kids were more likely to get them from sports, with football being the leading source for brain injuries in older boys,and biking,soccer and basketball for older girls.
ted to the main hospital for further treatment. That suggests that more so than in the past, more coaches and parents have been bringing kids to the ER with mild concussions and blows to the head, said Dr. Julie Gilchrist, a CDC epidemiologist who led the study. Thats probably due to more awareness of the formerly under-appreciated long-term hazards of concussions, she added. In 2003, the CDC started a Heads Up youth concussion awareness campaign targeting doctors. Since then, the agency has expanded the focus to coaches and school ofcials. That effort was bolstered by a series of studies that began to appear around 2005 that showed damage in the brains of former National Football League players. Media coverage of such studies has intensied in the past four years, too, with reports focusing not only on football players but also the actress Natasha Richardson, who died in 2009 from a brain injury from a skiing accident. At the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York state, nearly all of the kids who come in with concussions are brought in by their parents. Such visits have been increasing, and many parents seem to have become aware of the danger of concussions by reports

on television, said Dr. Jeffrey Bazarian, an emergency physician there. I think the TV specials on this have them spooked, he said. Parents may also be motivated by recently passed state laws in New York and elsewhere that require student athletes with concussion symptoms to be cleared by a medical professional before being allowed to participate in sports, Bazarian said. In 2011, bills were introduced in at least 39 states that were aimed at better management of traumatic brain injuries, and most targeted sports-related concussions in youths, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Other highlights from the CDC study: About 70 percent of the ER visits were by boys. About 70 percent were kids ages 10 to 19. Younger kids commonly got their injuries on the playground or from biking. Older kids were more likely to get them from sports, with football being the leading source for brain injuries in older boys, and biking, soccer and basketball for older girls. The estimated number of traumatic brain injuries in athletic kids held about steady from 2001 to 2004, but then shot up afterward, rising most dramatically from 2008 to 2009. Overall, about 15 percent of such traumatic brain injuries each year was from bicycling, on average, making that the leading cause. Football was a close second. Health ofcials have long advocated the use of bicycle helmets as a way to reduce the severity of head injuries, but helmet use dropped after the early 1990s and has been holding at a fairly low rate for more than a decade. About 85 percent of youths say they rarely or never wear a bicycle helmet, according to one government survey.

Al-Qaida confirms killing of U.S.-born cleric
CAIRO Al-Qaidas Yemeni offshoot on Monday conrmed the killing of U.S.-born militant cleric Anwar al-Awlaki late last month and vowed to avenge the prominent propagandists death. The 40-year-old al-Awlaki, who died in a Sept. 30 U.S. drone strike in the mountains of Yemen, was the most prominent al-Qaida gure to be killed since Osama bin Ladens death in a U.S. raid in Pakistan in May. He had been in the U.S. crosshairs since his killing was approved by President Barack Obama in April 2010 making him the rst American placed on the CIA kill or capture list. On Monday, Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula said in a statement posted on Islamist extremist websites that al-Awlaki was killed by an American airstrike, along with three other militants, according to the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors extremist websites. AQAP, which has become the most active al-Qaida branch in recent years, vowed to strike back. The blood of the sheik (al-Awlaki) and his brothers will not go in vain; there are heroes behind him who do not sleep under oppression, and they will retaliate soon, the group said.

Egypts military vows to get tough

Palestinian killed in Gaza blast


JERUSALEM Palestinian ofcials in the Gaza Strip said one person was killed Monday in an explosion along Gazas northern border with Israel. The cause of the blast was unclear, and medical teams were removing the remains of the dead. The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a small militant faction, said the dead man was a militant who was killed in an Israeli airstrike as he was carrying out his national duties. The Israeli military said it was not involved. Army ofcials said they believed explosives detonated as militants tried to plant a bomb.

CAIRO Egypts ruling military on Monday condemned a surge in deadly violence as an attempt to undermine the state, and warned it will act to safeguard the peace following a night of clashes that drew in Christians, Muslims and security forces. The generals strong words signaled the governing military council will tighten its grip on power, further infuriating activists who have demanded an end to army rule and a transition to democracy. Egypts Coptic church harshly criticized the government for its actions in crushing the protests and accused it of allowing repeated attacks on Christians to go unpunished. The clashes Sunday night were the worst sectarian violence since the uprising that ousted Hosni Mubarak eight months ago. The riots laid bare the volatility of Egyptian society a month before the start of parliamentary elections that will help dene the countrys future political landscape. In a statement, the Coptic Church, which represents about 10 percent of Egypts 85 million people, accused security forces of failing to stop anti-Christian agitators from turning what started out as a peaceful protest against church attacks into a sectarian riot in which at least 26 people, mostly Christians, were killed. Strangers got in the middle of our sons and committed mistakes to be blamed on our sons, the church said in a statement issued after its spiritual leader, Pope Shenouda III, met with 70 bishops. The Copts feel that problems are repeated and the perpetrators go unpunished. The statement reected the growing fears of Egypts Copts, the largest Christian community in the Middle East, at a time when a security vacuum has left them vulnerable to a growing Islamist movement in the post-Mubarak era.

Egyptian Coptic Christians chant pro-Christian slogans during the funeral for victims of sectarian clashes with soldiers and riot police at a protest against an attack on a church in southern Egypt at Abassaiya Cathedral in Cairo.
The military, which activists blamed for not doing enough to protect the Christian protesters, issued a stern warning that it intended to crack down hard on future protests. In a statement, the military council said it will take the necessary precautions to stabilize security and use the full weight of the law to prosecute individuals involved in violence, whether by participation or incitement. In an apparent response to concerns it will use the violence as an excuse to prolong its rule, the council pledged to make good on its promise to hand over power. Many activists say the generals are likely to take advantage of the nations tenuous security to stay in power long enough to find a candidate they approve of to run for the presidency. A timetable oated by the military has slated presidential elections for late next year. If that holds true, then the military will have been in power for almost two years before it steps down. We all know that the military council is trying to sow religious strife to stay in power and extend emergency law, said Maha Adel Qasim, a 28-year-old Muslim wearing a head scarf who joined Christians demonstrating outside a hospital where victims bodies were taken. We want international protection, screamed Walid Romani, a Christian, as others outside the hospital chanted for Egypts military ruler, Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, to step down.

RAPADA
Continued from page 1
including the detective who was nearly tossed over a railing and an officer who suffered memory loss from a concussion, testified during a preliminary hearing which was described as observers as very emotional. They described circumstances in which they really thought these people wanted to kill them, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. The preliminary hearing is scheduled to continue Tuesday morning and its outcome will either free the Rapadas from the charges or propel them to trial on several counts of battery on a police officer, resisting arrest and even lynching. Though the term is commonly understood to mean something else, lynching is the taking by means of a riot any person in the lawful custody of a police officer. Six members of the Rapada family were reportedly involved in the July 4 incident to varying degrees but two were cited and released while the others were arrested. The fracas began at 11:50 p.m. when two San Bruno police officers, acting as part of a countywide fireworks abatement team, saw a M-1000 lobbed from an apartment complex to the street and roll underneath their car. The M-1000

did not ignite. Wendell Jennings Rapada reportedly took off running after officers looked toward the crowd from where the explosive was thrown, and led them on a chase through Ephraim the complex on East Rapada Avenue and up to an outside balcony. As Rapada punched at the officers, his cousin, Crystal Anne, came out of the apartment and joined in hitting and kicking them, according to the Crystal District Attorneys Anne Rapada Office. His father, Ephraim, appeared and reportedly tried lifting one officer over the balcony 13 feet above ground. Next, cousin Ervin James Rapada allegedly participated in the attack. One officer reported feeling one of the suspects try to remove his gun from its holster as he lost consciousness. Another officer arrived to help and was allegedly struck several times in the face by Ervin Rapada. Another group of officers responded to calls for backup and arrested the four Rapadas. Two others, Virgil Rapada, 25, and Kenneth Rapada, 22, reportedly water and soil preparation for the success. I keep saying, One day Im going to win, he told a crowd of reporters. Urena was successful in what was a record-breaking day. Before Urena claimed the state record, Brant and Eleanor Bordsen of Marysville, Calif. held the title for almost 10 minutes. The couple, married 30 years, placed second last year and did the same this year. Weighing in at 1,693 pounds, the couple was visibly elated with the victory and title, even if they only held it for a brief period. Third place went to Tim Mathison of Napa, whose pumpkin was physically the largest and thought to be the winner. His p u m p k i n weighed 1,554 pounds. Before the competition, one of the rumored winners was out of the competition. Russ Pugh of Santa Rosa had an Atlantic Giant that, when measured, appeared to

fought with the responding officers, but were not involved with the original assault upstairs, so they were only cited for misdemeanor battery on an officer released, Ervin Rapada and according to police reports. One officer was hospitalized with a concussion and two received black eyes and facial contusions. This was a pretty vicious crime by a large number of Wendell people, Wagstaffe Rapada said. The four Rapadas who were arrested have all pleaded not guilty to the charges. Ephraim and Crystal Rapada are free from custody on $75,000 bail and Ervin Rapada is free on $50,000 bail. Wendell Rapadas bail is set at $100,000 but he is also being held without bail for violating felony probation. In June 2010, he was convicted of illegally possessing a firearm. Virgil Rapadas case is still pending review but prosecutors dropped the case against Kenneth Rapada due to insufficient evidence. be a record breaker. On Sunday, Pugh was loading the large pumpkin and noticed a soft spot on the bottom. After digging into it to see how deeply the soft spot went, Pugh found a hole that went to the center of the pumpkin making it ineligible. Despite this, the pumpkin was unofcially weighed before the competition tipping the scales at 1,794 pounds. Pugh started growing pumpkins 10 years ago. This was by far his biggest. He admitted to being disappointed when he realized the pumpkin was ineligible but put it on display for the event attendees to take photos with Monday morning. Pugh isnt giving up his dream of growing the biggest pumpkin especially since he now knows he can do it. There were two more winning pumpkins Wednesday, both were grown in California. Farmer John Mueller of Half Moon Bay won in the Coastside division with a 755-pound pumpkin. Eric Carlson of Portola Valley won the most beautiful pumpkin category with a vibrant orange gourd that weighed 286 pounds. Winning pumpkins will be on display over the weekend for the Half Moon Bay Art and Wine Festival. The festival will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 15 and Oct. 16 on Main Street in Half Moon Bay.

PUMPKIN
Continued from page 1
That record currently held by Chris Stevens of New Richmond, Wis. at 1,810.5 pounds remains. Although Urena broke the state record, he wasnt declared the victor in Half Moon Bay right away. One more pumpkin needed to be weighed before the news was ofcial. The 43-year-old was at a loss for words once it was ofcial. He credited his employer, Hudson Vineyards, for their support and allowing him to use their land to grow pumpkins as a hobby. Urena began competing in Half Moon Bay six years ago. This years gourd was grown using one of his own seeds. He tended it daily and credited lots of

National Rie Association civil rights attorney C.D. Michel said. Youre not going to stop people from having these demonstrations, he said. The bill exempts hunting and shooting events and doesnt apply to those are given permits to carry a concealed weapon by law enforcement authorities. Sheriffs departments in most major cities in California, including Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego, make it difcult for citizens to get concealed carry permits, said Sam Paredes, executive director of Gun Owners of California. The association, which has 33,000 members in California, is a progun lobbying association based north of the state capital. This is a ridiculous law, he said. This is an immense infringement on the right to bear both, but the state Department of Finance opposed it. Lieu said he believes savings would have outweighed any costs. California taxpayers pay about $300 million every year to impound a million dogs and cats, house them for a while then kill half of them, Lieu said. He estimated the bill would have saved the state millions because it would have eliminated the need to house and kill lost and unclaimed pets. Under current law, local agencies and shelters can and should require animals to be microchipped before being released, Brown wrote. There is no need for state law solar installations eligible for tax reassessment exclusion. Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, helped facilitate the companys move by authoring Assembly Bill 15, which claries existing law so solar projects in the state can continue to receive the tax assessment exclusion that was rst adopted by voters in 1980 with Proposition 7. Brown signed Hills bill earlier this year and the city of Belmont also waived some local arms. The bill is an opportunity to prevent tragedy before it happens, Portantino said. Its not if somebody is going be shot, its when somebody is going to be shot, he said. We have the opportunity to avoid that, and thats why this is so critical. He said law enforcement officials have been concerned about the proliferation of guns in public and the tense situations that arise when someone sees another person carrying a firearm in public. He said the encounters can escalate quickly because others dont know whether the gun is loaded or unloaded. One of the first rules of firearms safety is to always assume a weapon is loaded. Main Street California is not the Old West, and you dont need a gun to buy a cheeseburger, Portantino said. to mandate the procedure, which would then require the state to pay for it. Lieu said he was glad Brown recognized the importance of microchips in his veto letter. He doesnt know what he will do next but plans to meet with his staff to gure out another way to accomplish the same goal, he said. Assemblyman Curt Hagman, R-Chino Hills, knows about ghting for pets when there are money barriers. Last year, he sponsored Mollys Bill, a measure that would have allowed exemptions to mandatory rabies shots if the vaccine will seriously harm or kill an animal under a veterinarians care. fees for the company to accommodate the move. Belmont used redevelopment agency money to cover the cost of the waived fees. This is an example of how redevelopment agencies can improve a city with these types of incentives, said Belmont Mayor Coralin Feierbach, who has been critical of the governor and state for moving to disband redevelopment agencies. Yesterday, however, she praised state law-

handgun in public or in vehicles. Violators could face up to a year in prison or a potential ne of $1,000 when the law takes effect Jan 1. Gun owners have been protesting the legislation since it was introduced in January, a few days after a shooting in Tucson, Ariz., killed six people and wounded 13, including U.S. Rep Gabrielle Giffords. In April, gun owners began carrying unloaded handguns in public places and restaurants as a political statement in Pasadena. The ban may push gun activists into openly carrying ries in protest of the handgun ban,

Top California law enforcement groups, including the California Police Chiefs Association and the Los Angeles Sheriffs Department, supported the legislation. Brown, a Democrat, told The Associated Press that he listened to the police chiefs and they were concerned about the open carry laws. By prohibiting the open carry of guns, we can now take our families to the park or out to eat without the worry of getting shot by some untrained, unscreened, self-appointed vigilante, Dallas Stout, president of the California chapters of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, said in a statement. The Brady Campaign, which sponsored the legislation, said California joins Florida, Illinois, Oklahoma and Texas as the only states to ban the open carry of handguns. That measure was defeated in appropriations because there is a basic $120,000 cost for any code change, Hagman said. This year, Hagman resurrected the bill on behalf of Sam and Cecilia Gadd of Chino Hills and their dog Molly, an English springer spaniel who turned 7 in March and has hemolytic anemia, an auto-immune disease that Sam Gadd said may have been caused by the rabies vaccination she received when she was 3. Molly survived that shot after spending ve days in the hospital, undergoing two blood transfusions and getting help from two specialists, Gadd said. makers for helping to bring the company to Belmont. Im pleased this once vacant building will now provide jobs for Belmont and its neighbors. Green energy is our future and Belmont is a green city, Feierbach said. The relocation to Belmont took a year of collaboration between the state, company and city, Hill said. Im thrilled at the prospect of creating 500 new jobs in the area, Hill said.
