The Woodside man deep in debt and accused of killing his wife before staging the shooting to look like a suicide last year had twin motives, according to a prosecutor a $31 million life insurance policy on the verge of expiring and a longtime mistress. The prosecution put on evidence to show Pooroushasb Parineh, known as Peter, stood

to greatly benefit financially by his wifes death and that he gave disparate stories of what happened. A detective testified Parineh said he found his wife, Parima, dead in their bed; he reportedly told their adult daughter he found her wounded and in
essence said he ended it at her request. The plan to also call to the stand a woman considered by authorities to be Parinehs mistress was disbanded after the woman balked at addressing the relationship in open court and agreed to make a private but full and complete statement, prosecutor Al Giannini said outside the hearing. Instead, Judge Jonathan Karesh relied on the testimony of the two primary investigating detectives to hold Parineh to answer on rst-
degree murder and gun charges and the special allegation of committing murder for nancial gain. Taken together, the charges leave Parineh, 66, facing the death penalty or life in prison without parole if convicted. The District Attorneys Ofce has yet to announce which it will seek. However, yesterdays ruling will likely speed up that determination. Parineh returns
A man hired to spruce up and bring new business to downtown San Mateo has quit, Downtown San Mateo Association President Kris Cesena told the Daily Journal last night. Rob Edwards submitted a resignation letter last week, Cesena said. Hes just moving on, she said. Edwards, named the DSMAs executive director in April 2010, was hired to replace the outgoing Kelly Mitter, who led the nonprot agency in previous years. Edwards was primarily hired to implement a property-based business improvement district to raise about $750,000 annually for the association. That money would be applied toward downtown improvements and marketing. Edwards needed to get 50 percent of property owners in downtown to agree with

Maintaining community involvement to curb violence while maintaining strong scal reserves are the priorities of candidates running for the South San Francisco City Council.
Johnny Midnight Rankins, who previously worked for the city for more than 26 years, is challenging Mayor Kevin Mullin and Vice Mayor Rich Garbarino in the race for City Council. The incumbents came into the Daily Journal ofce Tuesday for an endorsement
To boost revenue for a city hit hard by the recession, the Half Moon Bay City Council is moving forward with a plan to install parking pay stations downtown that could raise up to $2 million a year for the cash-strapped city. In a study session Tuesday night, the council agreed to move forward with the idea after
discussing hourly rates, times of operation and the potential impacts on downtown businesses. The city is interested in installing 28 parking pay stations that could serve between 400 and 500 spaces on Main Street and the rest of downtown, including in a city-owned lot and another private lot the city now leases.
1944
During World War II, Gen. Douglas MacArthur stepped ashore at Leyte in the Philippines, 2 1/2 years after saying, I shall return. In 1740, Maria Theresa became ruler of Austria, Hungary and Bohemia upon the death of her father, Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI. In 1803, the U.S. Senate ratied the Louisiana Purchase. In 1936, Helen Kellers teacher, Anne Sullivan Macy, died in Forest Hills, N.Y., at age 70. In 1947, the House Un-American Activities Committee opened hearings into alleged Communist inuence and inltration in the U.S. motion picture industry. In 1964, the 31st president of the United States, Herbert Hoover, died in New York at age 90. In 1967, seven men were convicted in Meridian, Miss., of violating the civil rights of three slain civil rights workers. In 1968, former rst lady Jacqueline Kennedy married Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis. In 1973, in the so-called Saturday Night Massacre, special Watergate prosecutor Archibald Cox was dismissed and Attorney General Elliot L. Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William B. Ruckelshaus resigned. In 1981, a bungled armored truck robbery carried out by members of radical groups in Nanuet, N.Y., left a guard and two police ofcers dead. In 1986, the government of Nicaragua formally charged captured American mercenary Eugene Hasenfus with several crimes, including terrorism. (Although convicted and sentenced to prison, Hasenfus was pardoned and released by Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega.) Ten years ago: During a visit to Shanghai, China, President George W. Bush challenged Asian leaders to help save the civilized world by joining his war against terrorism. Ofcials announced that anthrax had been discovered in a House postal facility on Capitol Hill.

Things you dont say were stolen
A person broke into a mans apartment stealing six marijuana plants and an Xbox on Edgewood Road in Redwood City before 3:58 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 12
Flanked by the heads of the San Francisco 49ers and San Jose-based tech company Brocade, Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara and San Mateo counties kicked off its annual food and fund drive yesterday with the message that nothing else matters when a person is hungry. This years effort, aiming to raise $11.3 million and 11.6 million pounds of food, ofcially began with drive co-chairs Mike Klayko, CEO of Brocade, and 49ers CEO and President Jed York on hand. Three-time Super Bowl champion and ve-time Pro Bowler Guy McIntyre, an offensive guard from 1984 to 1993, also appeared to encourage both corporations and individuals to give back to the needy of both counties. Hunger is unacceptable in this community, Klayko said.
Food Bank ofcials said the drive is critical because hunger means not being able to concentrate, learn, work or otherwise get the day. The bank estimates one of every 10 people will receive food from Second Harvest during the holiday season. More telling, one Jed York in four people struggle to put food on the table. Every month, the bank feeds approximately 250,000 people in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties many who may have never thought theyd need help. Residents are lucky to live in the counties but even in the heart of the Silicon Valley, which prides itself on collaboration and innovation, hunger has become a serious problem in our surrounding community, York said. The number of people fed monthly has
jumped 48 percent since 2007 and is expected to continue climbing as unemployment remains high and wages at. Last year, the food bank provided 35 million meals. More than 40 percent of food distributed is fresh produce. Second Harvest has met the increasing need but it depends on the generosity of the community, said Second Harvest CEO Kathy Jackson. Every dollar donated provides two meals, she said. Second Harvest partners with more than 300 nonprot agencies to provide food at nearly 650 pantries, soup kitchens, shelters and afterschool programs but is always seeking new relationships. While the hungry are fed all year, half the food banks revenue is raised during the holiday drive. To host a food drive or donate, contact Second Harvest at www.sfhb.org or call (866) 234-3663.

A woman who witnessed a ery crash involving a big-rig on southbound Highway 101 in San Francisco early Wednesday morning is being lauded for saving a life after she dragged the unconscious truck driver to safety. The crash occurred around 5 a.m. where the highway crosses over 16th Street, near Interstate 80, according to the California Highway Patrol. Keenia Williams, 22, was honored by re and CHP ofcials at a noon news conference Wednesday at the CHPs San Francisco headquarters for her heroic actions. Seconds count in accidents like this, and without your bravery, the situation wouldve
been entirely different, San Francisco Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White said. Williams, a San Francisco resident, said she was driving her 5-year-old daughter to school when she looked in her rearview mirror and saw a black vehicle spin out, another car hit it, then saw the big-rig slam into the cars and overturn. Williams said she then saw the driver of the cement truck get out of the car and pass out on the ground as fuel from the crashed big-rig caught re a short distance away. She said she stopped her car and my rst instinct was to run over there, put my arms under his arms and drag him all the way to my car. Williams got water and poured it on the truck drivers face. The driver, later identied as 52-year-old Concord resident Michael
Finerty, regained consciousness and said he was in pain, she said. Meanwhile, fire and CHP crews had responded to the scene from the north side of the accident to put out the ames, which had engulfed the big-rig. They looked for victims, but did not immediately see Williams and Finerty on the other side of the wreckage. She made all the difference in the world, Deputy Fire Chief Tom Siragusa said. We probably wouldnt have seen him if no one else had stopped.

The bitter, face-to-face sniping at this weeks Republican debate was just a prelude to the coming weeks as Mitt Romneys rivals seek to tear him down before the leadoff Iowa caucuses. Increasingly on the defensive, Romney is being hammered on old issues like an accusation of hiring illegal immigrants to work on his yard and is creating new openings for everyone from Rick Perry to President Barack Obama.

The target was Romney, who over the years has reversed his positions on a series of issues that conservatives champion.

Getting elected, Obama campaign manager Jim Messina told reporters in a conference call. Appearing unrufed at the attacks, Romney kept his focus on Obama and the economy on Wednesday, saying: He should be less concerned about keeping his own job and spend more time helping the millions who are unemployed.

WASHINGTON A rare show of bipartisanship in a divided Congress produced a deal to x an education law long considered awed, until a single senator stalled progress Wednesday. The delay would be short and would not deter the committee working on one of the most signi-
cant overhauls of the No Child Left Behind law since it was passed in 2002, the chairman said. A little more than an hour into the hearing by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., used a procedural maneuver to put the brakes on the discussion. The renewed focus in Washington on education comes as the 2012 campaign begins to unfold.

WASHINGTON Congress will almost certainly approve the parts of President Barack Obamas jobs bill that extend the payroll tax cut and long-term unemployment benefits. But his calls for new spending and a surtax on millionaires seem doomed. Its a legislative reality largely missing in the furious political debate now unfolding along all-ornothing lines, in which Obama tries to assign Republicans part of the blame for a dismayingly weak economy while the GOP tries to avoid it. Last week, all the Republicans in the Senate got together and blocked the jobs bill, the president said this week after his bus rolled, campaignstyle, into Millers Creek, N.C. They refused to even debate it. He cited a poll that said about 63 percent of Americans support the ideas in this jobs bill, then he asked, So why is it that 100 percent of Republicans in the Senate voted against it? He added, It doesnt make any sense. The morning after, Senate

Political debate aside, signicant parts of the legislation seem on track to pass by years end, when payroll tax cuts enacted a year ago and unemployment benefits are scheduled to expire. The proposed renewal of the payroll tax cut, at $179 billion over a decade, is the largest single item in the legislation and has drawn no significant opposition from Republicans. A proposal to give employers a break on payroll taxes, a $69 billion provision, could pass, as well.

WASHINGTON That didnt last long. About 55 million Social Security recipients will get their rst increase in benets next year since 2009 a 3.6 percent raise. But higher Medicare premiums
could erase part of it. For some, higher Medicare Part B premiums could wipe out as much as a fourth of their raise from Social Security, according to projections by the trustees who oversee the programs. Medicare is expected to announce 2012 Part B premiums as early as
next week. The premiums, which cover doctor visits, are deducted automatically from monthly Social Security payments. The Social Security Administration announced the pay increase Wednesday, offering a measure of comfort to millions of retirees and disabled people, many
who have seen their retirement accounts dwindle, home values drop and out-of-pocket medical costs rise in the years since their last raise. Starting in January, 55 million Social Security recipients will get increases averaging $39 a month, or just over $467 for the year. In
December, more than 8 million people who receive Supplemental Security Income, the disability program for the poor, will get increases averaging $18 a month, or about $216 for the year. In all, 1 in 5 U.S. residents stand to get a raise from the cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA.

OPINION
End game
he end is near. Actually, its literally right around the corner. If one is to believe the Oakland-based radio preacher well known for making End of Days predictions, the latest date circled on the doomsday calendar is tomorrow. Yep. No need to jot to-do lists for next month or worry about paying end-ofthe-month bills. Oct. 22 aint happening and neither are you, according to Harold Camping, head of Family Radio International. Of course, Camping has played this mind game before. Remember back in May when Camping predicted the end and we were all treated to billboards and recreational vehicles proclaiming that there wasnt much time left to make right with God and get the world in order? Some folks actually bought into the scheme, giving away money and heading out to California so they could watch the sun rise over the surf at least once before ascending into heaven or bursting into flames or well, frankly, nobody was really sure what the heck was going to happen to earthly angels and heathens alike. All that did happen, though, was a big fat nothing akin to the Y2K dud. Camping said May 21 was actually just a test run for the absolute final showdown Oct. 21 and then the 90-year-old capped the explanation by having a stroke. That last part isnt funny at all but did engender quite a few dark-humored quips about how the only end he was good at predicting is his own. And even that fell short. Granted, Camping is getting pretty good at explaining away the failure of his predictions. He previously pinned the apocalypse for 1994 but later chalked up that failure to a mathematical error. In any case, here we are again on the precipice of total annihilation. Unlike the last go-round, this one kind of flew under the radar, overshadowed by the local election, pipeline safety, a few disasters natural and man made and, of course, the never-ending coverage of the Kim Kardashian wedding. That said, if Camping is correct this time and hey, even a broken watch is right twice a day there is just one day left to soak up this lovely thing called life. The question now is, what to do with these remaining precious 24-odd hours? Every feeble pop song would encourage us all to make like a Thriller-like flash mob and bust a few moves. Every ditty with a thumping chorus demands we dance like theres not tomorrow, dance until the world ends, dance ... well, you get the picture. So dust off your inner robot, sprinkler and running man, quickly find some past episodes of the numerous dance competition shows clogging the airways for inspiration or buy a copy of Dance Dance Revolution. Times a tickin and theres only one shot left to show the world what you got. Of course, maybe dancing will save the world. It certainly saves troubled high schoolers, towns and fractured relationships. See Footloose, Step Up, Dirty Dancing, You Got Served, Honey or any number of dance off showdown movies. Think about it Nancy Grace and company can actually prevent the apocalypse through calypso. But just in case jumping, jiving and wailing isnt strong enough to hold back the winged horsemen and oceans of blood, better figure out how to make the most of the time left. Sure, you should profess love, make amends, pet the dog, soak up the sun, pass out hugs and order from the expensive part of the wine list. Once thats done, though, living dangerously is always a crowd pleaser. After all, whats the worst that can happen? But leave the parachuting and Alaskan crab fishing for the daredevil neophytes. For real danger, go get a prostate exam or a mammogram. Chow down on some cantaloupe. Drink a six-pack of soda followed by a healthy dose of trans fat. Bring an oversized container of hair product through the airport security screening area. Those are things that really scream risky. Of course, maybe we can hold off on the honest declarations and newly-denounced medical exams. Maybe once again Camping is a tad off in his kooky calculations and well all live beyond Friday.

The Dow had traded higher for most of the day but started to slump shortly before 2 p.m., when the report of the impasse came out. Within an hour it was down 88 points. Citigroup and other banks turned lower. It was the latest in a series of sudden turns for the market. Shifting expectations for the Oct. 23 meeting have rattled markets every day this week. Apple Inc. slumped 5.6 percent after the companys income and revenue fell short of forecasts. It was a rare miss for the company, which had jumped 31 percent this year through Tuesday. Apple blamed the shortfall on a later-than-usual release of its newest iPhone. Apples results helped drag down technology stocks. The Nasdaq composite slid 53.39, or 2 percent, to 2,604.04. The Standard & Poors 500 index fell 15.50, or 1.3 percent, to 1,209.88. Worries that Europes troubles could get worse have kept markets on edge. The Greek government is widely expected to go through some kind of default or restructuring of its debt. If that process becomes messy, European banks that hold Greek government bonds may nd it difcult to raise money from other banks.

NEW YORK A rare earnings miss by Apple pulled down technology stocks Wednesday. Broad market indexes turned lower in late afternoon trading on reports of an impasse in talks to resolve Europes debt crisis. The leaders of Germany, France, the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank met Wednesday in preparation for a summit scheduled for this weekend. Markets sank and the price of oil fell after a report came out that Frances President Nicolas Sarkozy said Germany and France were in a deadlock over how to expand an emergency fund. The Dow closed at 11,504.62, a loss of 72.43 points, or 0.6 percent. On Tuesday the Dow closed half a point below where it started the year. The big theme this week is whats going to happen in Europe over the weekend, said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott. If a Greece or another country defaults, it could do real damage to Europe. If that pushes Europe into a recession, it will further clip the pace of global growth.

CUPERTINO Apple Inc.s famous penchant for secrecy remained intact Wednesday as the companys retail stores were curtained and employees were close-lipped about a private memorial service to celebrate the life of company co-founder Steve Jobs. The service, announced to Apple employees in an email by CEO Tim Cook, took place Wednesday morning at company headquarters in Cupertino. It was also being webcast to employees worldwide. Apple planned to keep its stores closed for several hours so employees
could watch the service. At stores across Northern California, white curtains were draped across the windows to block the view from outside. Near the campus before services started at 10 a.m. PDT, sheriffs deputies directed traffic and employees streamed toward the companys outdoor amphitheater. Media handlers kept reporters from getting too close to the scene and tried to prevent them from speaking with employees. Music drifted across the campus from the service, and employees leaving the service who wouldnt give their names said singer Norah Jones and the British rock band Coldplay performed live.
NEW YORK Retailers are so desperate this holiday season that theyre willing to lose money to get you to spend yours. Take online jeweler Stauer. Its offering a $249 amethyst necklace for free provided customers pay the $24.95 it costs to ship it. Stauer will lose money on the deal, but it hopes to reel in new customers who will buy other jewelry. In this economy, you have to be outrageous in your offers, said Michael Bisceglia, the president of Stauer who found that more than a third of customers who took advantage of a similar deal on a $179 pearl necklace in 2009 bought additional items. You have to shake up the world a bit. Not every retailer will go as far as giving away merchandise during the holidays, but many will offer prot-busting incentives to lure cost-conscious consumers. Its a critical time of year for merchants, which can make up to 40 percent of their annual revenue in November and December. And theyre so worried that Americans are spooked by the weak economy that theyre willing to sacrice prot for sales. Nordstrom, for instance, is one of the rst retailers to offer free shipping on most orders, no matter how small, even though it could wind up paying $3 to ship a $7 pair of socks. Furniture chain Raymour & Flanigan is allowing customers to go four years without paying interest on their purchases the longest period it has ever offered even though it will have to help cover a chunk of those charges itself. And Sears is not only offering to match the cheapest prices customers nd online, but the department store chain is giving them an additional 10 percent off the difference. You may be making a $1 prot instead of a $3 prot, Fiona Dias, chief strategy ofcer of members-only shopping service ShopRunner.com, said about retailers. But youre not losing a sale.

On a night when all the runs were driven in with opposite-field hits to right, Lance Berkman put St. Louis ahead with a two-run single in the fourth against C.J. Wilson.

Chris Carpenter. Carpenter got the win, allowing ve hits in six innings, and Jason Motte got his fifth postseason save. Wilson walked a career-high six in 5 2-3 innings and took the loss. Colby Lewis starts for the Rangers in Game 2 on
Thursday night against Jaime Garcia. Pujols had Cardinals fans cheering in the top of the sixth when he slid to stop Michael Youngs grounder behind rst and threw to Carpenter for the out, stranding Ian Kinsler at third. Then in the bottom half, NLCS MVP David Freese hit an opposite-eld double to right with one out and took third on a wild pitch.
CSM defenders make sure Foothill does not a clear path to the goal during the Bulldogs5-4 loss to the Owls Wednesday afternoon.
After scoring three goals in the third period to take a 4-2 lead, the College of San Mateo womens water polo team was eight minutes away from making history. Since the program was introduced in 2003, the Bulldogs had never beaten Foothill College. Now, they were a period away from knocking off the Owls and taking a big step toward a possible Northern California playoff berth. But lack of depth ultimately cost the Bulldogs. When they lost Paige Ramstack for
the rest of the match after she picked up her third ejection early in the fourth quarter, the CSM offense stagnated. Foothill, which was in the state Final Four last year, took advantage, rallying for three goals in the nal quarter to pull out a 5-4 victory. We got ourselves into foul trouble, said CSM coach Randy Wright. I dont have the subs to replace Paige. When you lose a player like that, you have to play much better. Ramstack, who had a breakout tournament at Sierra over the weekend, proved just how valuable she can be when she put the Bulldogs ahead 2-1 early in the third period. She took a pass on the wing and literally swam over a
defender before stufng the ball past the Foothill goalie at the near post. One of our offensive sets is through Paige, Wright said. It was working well for us. CSM (1-3 Coast Conference) pushed its lead to 3-1 with 2:52 to play in the third. Kathryn Velichko red a shot that clanged off the crossbar, but the Bulldogs grabbed the rebound. Seconds later, Gianna Davino found the back of the net off an assist from Velichko. Foothill got a goal from Joanna Short that cut the Owls decit to 3-2, but the Bulldogs pushed their lead back to two when Davino

tious front-ofce overhaul last month by adding yet another key piece in what has become his personal project of rebuilding the Golden State Warriors. Lacob vowed to put his own mark on this onceproud franchise and has he ever done that. He and
fellow owner Peter Guber are quickly approaching the Nov. 12 one-year anniversary of their tenure in Oakland and sure seem to be ready to go once the lockout ends. Might their next big splash be one day moving this club across the bay to San Francisco? Dont put it past these two. The new-look Warriors have begun a new era with Lacob and Guber leading the way. Lacob gave himself a year to make all the
moves he sought to turn around an organization that has reached the playoffs only once since 1994, a run to the second round in 2007. He has carefully rufed feathers while making sweeping changes he hopes will transform Golden State into a regular winner in the talented Western Conference. When Lacob introduced Rick Welts as the

NFL brief
Union tells NFL: No blood samples yet
NEW YORK The players union has told the NFL to hold off collecting blood for HGH testing, and the league isnt happy about it. We informed the NFL (Tuesday) that absent a collective agreement on several critical issues, blood collection is not ready to be implemented on Monday, the NFL Players Association said in a statement released Wednesday. We have advised the players. The league was preparing to draw the blood samples beginning Monday, although full testing for HGH was not yet scheduled. We are disappointed in the unions response, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said. It is contrary to the terms of the CBA and the agreements reached last Friday with the chairman and ranking member of the House Government Reform Committee. The NFL and the players agreed to begin blood testing for HGH as part of their new collective bargaining agreement reached in late July but only if the union agreed to the methods. The union has delayed implementing the test, asking for more scientic data to prove it is reliable. One of the key items the NFLPA is seeking is a population study of the test the data from the athletes who were used to originally set thresholds as to what constitutes a positive test. The union wants to compare that data to a population study on football players; the union believes players could have naturally higher HGH levels above those of other athletes.
ALAMEDA On the second play of practice for Oaklands starting offense, Carson Palmer stepped in and ran a play. The question now is whether Palmer can do enough this week to earn the starting quarterback job for the Raiders in place of the injured Jason Campbell. Palmer shared rst-team snaps Wednesday with Kyle Boller, who has been with the Raiders the past two seasons and has a big advantage in terms of knowledge of the offense and chemistry with the receivers. But Palmer has the stronger pedigree and was acquired at a high price, meaning the Raiders will give him every possible chance to get that job as the starter on Sunday against Kansas City. Its one day, coach Hue Jackson said. Im not in a rush. I dont have to rush that decision. Im going to take my time and see where they are and see how fast he picks up the system, see how fast he gets in line with his teammates and well kind of go from there. Its been a whirlwind few days for Palmer, who was a retired player in Southern California on Monday. That changed Tuesday when Oakland shipped a 2012 rst-round pick and a second-rounder in 2013 that could
become another rst if the Raiders make it to the AFC title game to Cincinnati for Palmer. Palmer had to pass a physical, meet his new teammates, start learning the playbook and then start shaking off the rust in his Carson Palmer rst practice since the end of last season. Theres definitely a learning curve involved for sure and I noticed that right off the bat, Palmer said. But it was exciting. It was fun to be playing football, it was fun to be in a huddle again, it was fun to be throwing routes in 7 on 7 and teams and all Kyle Boller these things. But I denitely have my work cut out for me as far as getting the verbiage down, especially when it comes to playing the quarterback position. Palmer retired during the offseason rather than return to the Bengals. Cincinnati had refused to trade him but finally relented Tuesday when the Raiders made their big offer after Campbell broke his collarbone. Jackson said he had some concerns about starting a player at quarterback after only
three practices with the team but that wont necessarily stop him from doing it. I kind of like it like that, Jackson said. I think he kind of likes it like that. I think we all do. But well make the right decision for this football team. Weve got a game to win, and thats the most important thing. Whatever I think is going to help us win this football game thats what Im going to do. Palmers new teammates are excited to have him on board, many of them having watched or competed against Palmer over the years. But they know how tough it will be for Palmer to get up to speed quickly enough to play Sunday. I just know if I was on the streets for a while Id need about, myself personally to knock the rust off as a defensive lineman, Id need personally about three weeks to get back into form, Richard Seymour said. Palmer spent time after practice doing extra work with receivers Darrius Heyward-Bey and Jacoby Ford. Ford said it would be tough for someone to come in and play that quickly, but that once the receivers build that chemistry with Palmer the offense should really get going. Its just a matter of the timing, he has to get that down and get used to the offense and has to get used to new receivers, Ford said. Whenever we can do that well be clicking on all cylinders.

allowed the ball to drift over the plate. Berkman went the other way and chopped the ball over rst base and into right eld as the Cardinals took a 2-0 lead. Wilson shook his head back and fourth as he walked back to the mound. The lead was short-lived. Adrian Beltre singled leading off the fth and, one out later, Napoli turned on a high pitch and sent it about 10 rows deep into the right-eld seats for his second home run of the postseason. A red up Carpenter had escaped a two-on, no-outs jam in the second inning when Napoli hit into an inning-ending double play. The starters entered with differing October results. Carpenter, the 2005 NL Cy Young Award winner, was 2-0 with a 3.71 ERA and helped the wild-card Cardinals avoid rstround elimination with a three-hitter than beat Philadelphia 1-0 to win the division series. A sellout crowd of 46,406 lled the ballpark for a game with a temperature of 49 degrees at the start, tied for the third-coldest for a Series opener since Major League Baseball started keeping records in 1975. All the Cardinals starters wore long-sleeve undershirts, but Cruz, Young and David Murphy of the Rangers were in short sleeves. The three ineld umpires all wore dark gloves. The World Series had not been played in St. Louis since 2006, when the Cardinals won the title in the rst year of new Busch Stadium. Game 1 has been an indicator of success in recent decades: The winner has captured seven of the last eight titles, 12 of the last 14 and 19 of the last 23. In addition, the team hosting Game 1 has won 20 of the last 25 World Series. of change. I think some people thought that when Joe and Peter took over that everything would be radical and get done all in one week, Riley said Wednesday. Both of them are very astute businessmen and have a feel for sports without question. The Warriors parted ways with coach Keith Smart after one season and replaced him with Mark Jackson and Lacob publicly acknowledged he wanted his guy calling the shots on the bench. Smart led Golden State (36-46) to 10 more victories than the year before after taking over last minute in September 2010 for the NBAs career wins leader, Don Nelson. This past spring, Golden State landed Hall of Famer Jerry West to serve in an advisory role for the front ofce. West is currently promoting his book, West by West: My Charmed, Tormented Life, which hit stores Wednesday. He reveals a lifelong battle with depression and stories of an abusive father. Lacobs choice to part ways with Nelson with his NBA-best 1,335 victories in 31 seasons was a big deal, too. It meant paying the coachs $6 million salary for last season. People around the country are taking notice of Lacobs actions. Joes pretty smart, said former Warriors coach Mike Montgomery, now back in the college game at California. From what Ive been able to see from a public relations standpoint of whats happened, I think he has made a lot of the right moves. I dont know anything about Mark Jackson as to whether hell be able to be successful. The Jerry West thing was a real positive because Jerry is so well thought of and so well respected. Aside from the high-profile personnel moves, there have been other significant changes. By Janie McCauley

Wilson struck out Yadier Molina, then pitched carefully to Nick Punto and walked him on four pitches. Ogando relieved, and with many of the redclad Cardinals fans standing and waving white towels, Craig sliced a 1-2 pitch down the right-eld line. Cruz, the ALCS MVP, tried for a sliding catch, but the ball bounced just in front of his glove for a single as Freese scored. Texas was lucky that the ball struck Cruz on a foot; otherwise, it would have rolled to the fence. Carpenter became the rst St. Louis starter to reach the sixth inning since the division series. He allowed two runs and ve hits in six innings, struck out four and walked one. Wilson, who has a 7.17 postseason ERA, gave up three runs and four hits in 5 2-3 innings with a career-high six walks two intentional and four strikeouts. After limiting the Cardinals to one hit in the rst three innings and preventing any runners from getting past rst, Wilson was hurt by three misred pitches during a four-pitch span in the fourth. After falling behind Pujols 2-0 in the count, Wilson bounced a 2-1 pitch that hit the threetime NL MVP on the left foot. He tried to go inside on Holliday but left the next pitch over the plate, and Holliday hit an opposite-eld double into the right-eld corner as Pujols took third.

Warriors new president and chief operating ofcer in late September, he could nally say that much of his work assembling the upperlevel management team was done. To me, this is the exhale day, Lacob said, standing off to one side post-news conference. It marks the end of the major moves and changes. It was the timeline ... the one-year anniversary of us taking over. We beat it. Not that many would expect Lacob to slow down. As soon as the sides settle this lockout, it will be a mad scramble to assemble rosters. When Lacob and Guber bought the Warriors for a record $450 million in July 2010 from longtime owner Chris Cohan, Lacob quickly took charge of operations on the basketball side while lm guru Guber is the entertainment expert in this leadership duo. They had a clear mission: being an occasional playoff team wasnt going to cut it. Lacob and Guber have shown they will be aggressive when it comes to doing whatever it takes to consistently contend. These guys dont sit still. They have a bias toward action, but theyre also thoughtful about it, Welts said. In April, Lacob gave general manager Larry Riley a new contract to stay in his current position as GM and executive vice president of basketball operations. Former sports agent Bob Myers was hired as the teams assistant GM and vice president of basketball operations to serve as Rileys right-hand man and contract expert.

Smith, however, doesnt see the format change as a way of curbing cheating. This (format change) doesnt do that, Smith said. Because there is no way to mandate who plays singles or doubles. Smith is saying a coach can still backload his team with his best players, putting his top two singles players as a doubles team, for example, and winning three points there, instead of taking a risk they may lose one or two points playing in the slots they should. Personally, I think the new format takes away the true essence of the game of tennis, which, at the very least, is the best of three sets. Playing one set against an opponent is not a true representation of those players. My fear is the best kids will choose not to play (high school) because its not real tennis, Smith said. Ive talked to So Cal coaches and they say thats what happens. Sell, however, said the committee was not going to use tradition as a swaying argument. At the end, tradition was what they (opponents) were hanging their hat on, Sell said. There are things that have been done for a from about three meters. Kekuewa kept the game tied at 4 when she made two saves during a Foothill man advantage, but she got surprised by Virak, who beat her with a backhanded shot with 2:32 to play, which put the Owls ahead to stay. That was a quick shot and quick shots are how you beat great goalies, Wright said. CSM had its opportunities in the nal minutes to tie the score, but were denied. Twice Angelica Medina got the ball in the hole set and each time she was just off. Her rst attempt bounced off the post with 45 seconds to play and, in the dying moments of the match, her shot was deected by a Foothill defender. The ball still made its way to the goal, but the Foothill goalie stayed with the long time as tradition that have not been good ideas. *** Members of the Menlo College mens soccer team swept the player of the week awards in the Cal Pac Conference for their play last week. Striker Alex Vukic, a junior who graduated from Sacred Heart Prep, was awarded Offensive Player of the Week. He scored twice on seven shots in a pair of Oaks win last week. Goalkeeper Alex Palomarez earned Defensive Player of the Week honors by coming up with 15 saves in the two wins last week. Palomarez was also awarded the NAIA national Defensive Player of the Week honor. Hes been playing well, been getting better all year, said Menlo coach Mike Keller of Palomarez. To be honest, I was a little surprised (he got the national award) because Menlo soccer hasnt been on that (national) scope. I was really happy for him. The Oaks are currently 9-3-1 overall and play and made the save. The Bulldogs, who have struggled at times with their shots this season, did not have too many straight-up misses, but they did have eight shots that bounced off the frame of the goal. Those bar outs hurt, Wright said. Despite the loss, the Bulldogs hung with the Owls all match long. The rst half was a defensive affair as neither team managed more than one goal. Foothill scored the only goal of the first period, when Paige Montgomery scored two seconds into a manadvantage situation at the 3:48 mark. CSM knotted the score at 1 less than a minute into the second quarter. From the right corner, Ramstack fed Velichko at the point and the

said. The big problem I have is were admitting, as a group, we cant control our coaches. If integrity is an issue, we have to deal with the integrity of the coaches. On top of the issue of cheating, there is also the issue of excluding a player who has played in the lineup all season. With the four singles, three doubles format, there are 10 players who participate in a match. Now, only nine will get the chance. Sell said that was the only real argument with which he agreed. Thats the one thing that gave me pause, Sell said. Someone is going to be left home. I get that one. In the end, however, the CCS committee decided trying to reduce cheating at the expense of a player was a decision that had to be made.

lofted a shot from the right wing into the left corner of the net. It appeared it might be the Bulldogs day when goalie Daria Kekuewa, who nished with 20 saves, tipped a 5-meter penalty shot over the goal. But she couldnt stop a penalty shot about a minute later, with Amanda Virak scoring the rst of her three fourth-period goals. Foothill tied the match at four with just under five minutes to play when she split a defender and Kekuewa with a shot
sophomore found the left corner of the net. Foothills Tatiana Martinez found out just how tough it is to score on Kekuewa. She had three golden opportunities to give the Owls a lead before halftime, but three times she was denied. Kekuewa blocked one of her shots from point-blank range, and the other two times she ried shots off the frame of the goal with Kekuewa looming. You see why [Kekuewa] is one of the best goalies in the state, Wright said. Foothill lost a lot of thoroughbreds (from last years team). They kept their heads and made it happen, Wright said. Its a hard one (loss to take). Im sure the girls are disappointed. (But) they should be excited about the way they played.

On a blazing October day, gardening may be the last thing on your mind. While I am usually tempted to sit back on the patio and soak up the years last warm sun, I know that days like these are the best time to work in the garden before the weather turns. There is nothing I hate more than doing fall chores in cold, wet weather. The spring blooming bulbs I ordered have arrived in the mail, and planting them on a nice day makes the job a lot more pleasurable. I prepare for planting them ahead of time by cleaning up my beds, cutting back perennials that are looking rangy, which allows them time to form neat mounds of basal foliage before winter sets in. Cutting back perennials in the fall makes them look a lot more attractive and makes spring garden prep a breeze. I also systematically remove any annuals that have stopped blooming. Moisture in the ground makes pulling them out, roots and all, a lot easier. Once the beds are cleaned up, I assess where I want to plant spring blooming bulbs. As a rule of thumb, try to remember to plant in large numbers instead of just clumps of one to ve. I try to plant bulbs so they look like they have naturalized which is to say, I plant them in large random groupings that are irregular in shape but near each other, much as colonies of blooming plants are clustered in a eld or woodland.
I also begin digging up summer blooming bulbs such as cannas, callas and dahlias just before the rst frost. A day or two before an imminent frost, I cut back my dahlias. A hard frost turns many plants black and mushy, and I nd that cutting them back beforehand makes the task much easier. I also harvest the last of the dahlia owers, dispensing bunches to friends and neighbors. After I cut the tops of the plants back to about 8 inches above the soil, I carefully dig the bulbs. Instead of shaking the soil from the roots, I leave it clinging to the long bananalike tubers. I then place the clumps, dirt and tubers alike, into plastic milk crates lined with plastic garbage bags. I ll the lined crates 1/3 full with coarse vermiculite, and place the clumps on top of it. I let the clumps sit in the crates, uncovered, for a few days in the open air (move them inside if rain is expected) before covering the clumps completely with vermiculite. I make sure there is a minimum of 6 inches of vermiculite over the top of the clumps. The ver-
Blooming bulbs are best planted in large random groupings to create a naturalizedeffect.
miculite will allow the tubers to breathe but will also help hold in moisture so they dont dry out during their winter dormancy. I store the crates in the basement, stacked one on top of the other. I keep my basement at about 45 to 50 degrees, but as long as the tubers are kept above freezing and lower than 60, they will be ne until it is time to plant them back out next spring. If anything, err on the cool side. Warm temperatures can dry tubers out. Taking care of chores like digging and planting bulbs is a lot easier while the weather is still nice. It means I can look out the window on those cold rainy days that lie ahead without feeling the slightest but of guilt.

shaded areas whether from seed sown by me or self-sown eventually clued me in on the reason for the poor results of my deliberate sowings: The seeds only germinate at cool temperatures. So now, if I want to deliberately plant corn salad somewhere, I wait until late summer or and move clumps of self-sown seedlings to wherever I want the plant to establish itself. Corn salad transplants easily. Of course, self-sown seedlings do not come up in neat, gardenesque rows; they show up in amorphous patches here and there near where plants previously stood. Plants also come up thickly, as well as in places where they are not wanted. Paths, for example. Fortunately, corn salad is easy to weed out where it is not wanted. And as for coming up too thickly, plants can be thinned out to let those that remain grow larger. Or a scissors can be used to mow crowded clumps of plants for harvest. Autumn and winter are the best times for growing corn salad. Just a bit of extra protection a covering of clear plastic or the warm, south wall of a house, for example keeps corn salad not only alive, but even growing in cold winter weather. Come spring, warming temperatures and lengthening days prompt corn salad to go to seed. Not that it tastes bad even then. As temperatures warm further in spring, the season for corn salad passes. The tangle of seedstalks makes it easier to pull out spent plants. Those few, well-placed plants that are deliberately left to grow make seeds that conveniently drop to the ground, to wait out hot summer weather before sprouting for a leafy harvest the next autumn and winter.

After some anxiety, Im now condent that Ive rmly established a weed called corn salad in my garden. Not that it should have been difcult: The plant is, after all, a weed, one that got its name for the way it invades European corn elds where corn means any grain except our corn, which is called maize there. The second part of this weeds name, salad, explains why I want it in my garden. Corn salad, also called mbche, lambs lettuce or fetticus, is a tasty salad green that forms rosettes of small, dark green, spoon-shaped leaves. These leaves are not crisp, like lettuce, but so tender as to almost melt in your mouth. Their delicate flavor is flowery, something like rose petals. Despite its apparent delicacy, corn salad is a tough plant. It self-seeds readily and tolerates enough cold to grow happily through cool autumn weather, then survives winter even in northern regions. Nonetheless, in the past I frequently had trouble growing corn salad. Despite careful sowing of fresh seeds, germination would be slow and spotty. Then I decided a few years ago to try growing corn salad by capitalizing on its weedy nature. I became deliberately less careful about pulling up all corn salad plants going to seed. The result? More corn salad seedlings. Corn salad seedlings coming up rst in

f your agapanthus, daylillies or coneowers havent bloomed well in a while, dividing them might give them the boost they need. Diving perennials also is a great way to control a perennial that has grown too large for its space and to create more plants for your garden. Fall is a great time to divide perennials. A cool and cloudy day is best for the job. First, trim about one third to one half of the plants leaves. This reduces the effort the newly planted divisions need to put into maintaining foliage. The easiest way to divide a plant is to dig up the entire plant roots and all. Dig deeply so that you get the entire root ball. Lay the plant on the ground or on a hard surface. Some perennials, such as yarrow, are easy to divide; they nearly separate themselves when you dig them up. Others, such as daylillies and agapanthus, have tightly bound roots, and you will need a tool and some muscle to separate them. You want to end up with divisions that are

The recession is one thing killing that notion. Millions of foreclosures have meant people have lost a ton of equity, said Boyce Thompson, editorial director of Builder magazine. Add in high unemployment and energy costs, and no wonder small might seem better. According to the American Institute of Architects in 2010, 57 percent of architecture rms reported a decrease in the square footage of homes they designed. Another factor is peoples desire to live more ecologically, less wastefully. And there are demographic changes. Thompson points out that one-third of American home buyers are now single; people are marrying later, and many dont want to wait until marriage to invest in a house. Moreover, as Americans live longer, many widows and widowers are downsizing to small homes. And with elderly parents and grown children returning home, there are more multigenerational families, increasing the demand for small auxiliary buildings, Cusato says. Tiny dwellings allow Matthews is hoping whoever the DSMA hires next will bring more events downtown to boost business. We are denitely going to bring back the Wine Walk and hopefully a couple of other events, Cesena said. The DSMA needed the change, Matthews said. Weve had executive directors in the past that were more in tune with what the city was trying to accomplish, Matthews told the Daily Journal last night. I dont want to assign blame, but Rob was not a good match. A change needed to be made. Edwards joined the DSMA April 5, 2010 to carry the organization through its next phase of growth by finishing off the PBID effort that Mitter had generations of a family to live side-byside with privacy. Some people dont just want small; they want minuscule. Mimi Zeiger, author of Tiny Houses (Rizzoli International, 2009) and the new Micro-Green (Rizzoli International, March 2011), denes tiny houses as around 1,000 square feet, although some enthusiasts cap them at the 300- to 400-square-foot range, she says. In Tiny Houses, Zeiger presents three-dozen international examples, including some in the United States. She believes that Americas abundance of land and materials has traditionally made us less conscious of conservation than people are elsewhere, but that is changing. Cusato credits Sarah Susankas book The Not So Big House (Taunton), rst published in 1998 and expanded in 2009, with starting a movement to change the way builders work. People started saying they wanted their houses to be smaller, but better, Cusato says. previously started. Under his leadership, Edwards did help establish Off the Grid food events at the downtown Caltrain station. Edwards was the executive director of Venturas downtown revitalization nonprofit organization and established a PBID there before the DSMA hired him. The DSMA is not sure it will continue to pursue the PBID, Cesena said. It is a huge thing to consider, she said. Edwards could not be reached for comment last night.

PARINEH

to court Nov. 2 to pick a date for entering a Superior Court plea and setting a trial date. Parima Parineh, 56, died April 13, 2010 from two shots to the head, one that went through her right cheek to the temple and another through her mouth. Two other bullets were fired, including one that embedded in the headboard, testified Detective Saul Lopez of the Sheriffs Office. Lopez responded to the Fox Hill Road home at 5:22 p.m. after Parineh called 911 to report coming home around 4 p.m. to discover his wifes suicide. Yesterday, Lopez detailed the crime scene, including the handgun laying below her right hand. But an autopsy and crime scene reconstruction expert showed none of the four shots could have been self-inflicted, he said. Parineh told deputies the gun was his, the only one of several weapons not confiscated by authorities after an earlier psychiatric hold was placed on his wife. Parineh said he couldnt find the gun to surrender. Parinehs adult daughter, Austiaj, told Detective Hector Acosta her father said he was home in the bathroom when he heard two shots. He said a wounded Parima asked for help, which he essentially provided by finishing her off, Acosta testified. At the time of his wifes death, Parineh was $13 million to $14 million in debt and his life of foreclosures included the Fox Hill home and several properties scattered throughout the state, including Byron, Hayward, Sunnyvale and Dixon. His wife had a number of life insurance policies totaling $31 million but they were about to collapse any day because of a lien placed against them due to a lawsuit loss, Acosta said. Parineh had minimal insurance on himself because he was ill, Giannini said. Under cross-examination by defense attorney Dek Ketchum, Acosta said Parineh only stood to receive $2 million directly from his wifes death. A previously established trust placed in the childrens name was named as beneficiary for the balance. Acosta also testified that prior to his wifes death, Parineh had been tapping that trust for sham transactions with corporations he established. After the hearing, Giannini said the three Parineh children are still discovering transactions made by their father on the trusts behalf. The children are willing to let the process go forward, said Giannini, referring to the prosecution, but they dont want to believe their father killed their mother. Authorities arrested Parineh June 17 in Sunnyvale and he has been held since without bail. Parinehs hearing came after several attempts and postponements since his arrest. The case has dragged since that point as the debt-saddled Parineh worked to retain a private attorney and lawyers on both sides work through voluminous evidence, including reams of financial documents. But while money is touted as the primary motive, Giannini said the alleged other woman is another factor. None of these things are simple, he said. There was a lot that came together to cause this crime. Giannini disclosed few other details of their reported relationship other than to say it dated from the 1990s and that there is no indication she was aware of Parinehs alleged plan. The defense called no witnesses during the preliminary hearing.

Tiny houses are going mainstream. Just look at the Katrina Cottage, originally designed by architects Andres Duany and Marianne Cusato as a dignied alternative to the FEMA trailer for ood-ravaged New Orleans. The tiny charmers with pitched roofs, nostalgic front porches and 300 to 1,800 square feet are becoming popular elsewhere; Lowes home stores sell the blueprints and materials. The cottages are being used as affordable housing, guesthouses and vacation cottages. Its part of a larger trend toward living small. The average size of the American home expanded from 983 square feet in 1950 to 2,340 square feet in 2004, up 140 percent. This boom was largely driven by a belief that living big meant living well, and that real estate was a great investment so the bigger the house the better the investment.

the assessment to form such a district but had only gathered just shy of 20 percent support for the effort up until now, Cesena said. Edwards told the Daily Journal in June that the number was closer to 40 percent, however. Under Edwards leadership, the DSMA canceled its annual Wine Walk this past summer, a move that was looked down upon by many members of San Mateos City Council, including Mayor Jack Matthews.

Plant the new divisions as soon as you can, at the same depth as the original plant, and water them well immediately. Protect them from the sun for a few days. Our winter rains are coming soon so the youngsters shouldnt need additional water, but keep an eye on them, and dont let their new abode dry out. You can always put several inches of mulch around them to keep the soil moist, but keep the mulch away from the plants stems.

My husband is an avid sports collector. Thats why we have a signed baseball bat on our fireplace mantle. And more than 300 mini-helmets scattered in every room of our house. Not to mention the vintage cards, balls, and the plastic-bagged uniforms hanging in a downstairs closet. My only comfort? Im not alone. Every morning, Charlotte Lee wakes up in a houseful of ducks. The University of Washington engineering professor is in the Guinness World Records for her rubber duck collection. All 5,239 of them and counting. We seem like normal people, says Lee, until you see our basement. Theres no reason that a collection cant be incorporated into a home decorating scheme, says Sandra Espinet, guest designer on HGTVs fantasy makeover series, HGTVd. She recommends rotating the collection seasonally, or only displaying the items nearest and dearest to you. Editing is super important, says Espinet. Otherwise you run the risk of overwhelming your living space. A massive collection in a media room is fun and cool, but when it carries over into your bedroom, you cross the line into college dorm territory. Lees husband, Marcel Blonk, wasnt thrilled with her collection initially. After I got to about 400

To keep the ducks from taking over their entire home, Lee and Blonk built floor-to-ceiling bookshelves to showcase the collection. Now shes got her ducks in rows. What happens when shelving in a designated room isnt enough to contain the sprawl of a collection? Richard Goodson of Chicago has collected more than 4,000 pieces of memorabilia from the movie Its a Wonderful Life, but is careful about what he displays in his home. Theres no way my wife would want me to show this stuff all over our house, said Goodson. So I bring things out sparingly. Ive got a few key pieces on the walls, like a couple of 8-by-10s that show scenes from the movie, and a collage with cast signatures underneath, but thats about it. His favorite item is Jimmy Stewarts hand prints and signature in concrete from the now closed Planet Hollywood in California. But he only brings that out at
events for the movie. Goodson has organized his collection into categories. Hes got 30 black binders of media support (ads, call sheets, promotional 8by-10s) stashed in his bedroom. Each binder is devoted to a separate cast member, alphabetized and stacked flat so that it takes up less space. Oversize items are stored in the garage in airtight bins. And some of the collection is on loan to the Hollywood Boulevard, a small movie theater and restaurant in Woodridge, Ill., that will run Its a Wonderful Life just before Christmas this year. Espinet would approve. Its OK to collect stuff, she said. Its just how much stuff you have and how you choose to display it in your house. As for me, I finally convinced my husband that he needed a better way to store his clutter I mean memorabilia. So he went online and bought cases for the baseball bats and balls. The cases come with removable glass tops, and have either wood or mirrored bottoms. Some can be hung on the wall. Others can sit on his desk until he moves them downstairs to his new man-cave. Yes, the contractor is already here, building custom shelves for the mini-helmets. I never thought Id enjoy the sound of a hammer and saw so much. Now I just have to find a spot in the house for my collection of the worlds worst souvenirs and greeting cards.

ELECTION
Continued from page 1
interview while Rankins was reached by phone Wednesday afternoon to discuss issues facing the city. Safety and nancial concerns took top billing for the candidates. Violence made headlines in South San Francisco last year with ve homicides, three were young people killed late in the year. In September, another young person was murdered. Gang and gun violence have since been of concern to many residents. The city hired a number of additional police ofcers to help create a neighborhood patrol and began working with the community through monthly meetings to create a strategic plan for addressing those issues. The challenge, Mullin said, is maintaining that engagement which began to wane in the calm months that followed last years homicides. We cant do anything without the community. There needs to be a sense of buy in, he said, adding a plan is being developed in cooperation with community leaders which should be implemented in the next year. Garbarino agreed and added the city needs to be proactive in building a relationship with residents. The key to success, he said, will be from the community trusting the city enough to bring up issues before they reach a violent apex. Rankins thought the solution was based on having activities for the children in the community. He suggested having something simple like barbecues with music. Looking at the nances, South San Francisco is doing better than many other cities. With about $14 million in reserves, the city has lost staff due to attrition rather than layoffs, stayed away from furloughs and created a two-tiered retirement system for all new hires. Rankins take on nances were simple: Everything should be about supporting and taking care of the people. Garbarino wants to focus on expanding new revenue. One way to do that is supporting businesses. The citys Redevelopment Agency previously

offered loans to businesses in an effort to help. Working with redevelopment funds is tricky at the moment given the states efforts to take much of the money. Once that is straightened out, however, Garbarino would like to see additional loan offerings to local businesses. Also, he wanted to work at drawing businesses from other areas big and small into South San Francisco to provide a greater variety of stores while lling empty storefronts and growing revenue for the city. Supporting downtown is a big part of this vision, he said. South San Francisco has been working on a vision for downtown that includes housing. Relocating the Caltrain station, a $50 million project, is a major part of that and will most likely take the longest time to coordinate, much to Mullins chagrin. Both Mullin and Garbarino pointed to that change as an important catalyst to having people who work in the growing biotech elds live downtown and ultimately support the smaller, local businesses there. Mullins scal focus is on the longterm liability of retiree benefits. Creating the two-tiered system is a start, he said. We need to tackle this in a very serious way in the next two years to bend
that cost curve, he said. Working to keep costs down means looking at shared services an idea both Mullin and Garbarino were open to but didnt have specic examples of changes that should happen in the short term. Going back to the downtown, Mullin said the city is working with Shelter Network to apply for grants and hopefully nd housing solutions for longterm, chronically homeless in the downtown. Rankins wasnt as clear in terms of topics like sharing services or things the council could be doing better. He did express an interest to research the city more before giving an opinion. But he did have strong inspiration for running. Rankins questions whether those on the council are asleep and not giving enough attention to the needs of residents.

PARKING
Continued from page 1
Parking is currently free everywhere in Half Moon Bay except for at the Poplar State Beach parking lot. The cost to install the pay stations will cost the city about $530,000 and another $75,000 a year to maintain, according to a staff report. The city would have to recapture the capital investment costs for the pay stations at about $600,000 in the programs first year, City Manager Laura Snideman said yesterday. Revenue projections for the pay stations range from $400,000 to $2 million a year, depending on the rate charged and occupancy levels, according to the staff report. The goal would be to encourage turnover in downtown and discourage business owners and employees from parking on Main Street, Vice Mayor Allan Alifano told the Daily Journal yesterday. We are going to move forward with this but we are going to use caution and take our time. Theres no hurry, Alifano said. He did say, however, that it is time the city starts looking at parking as a resource. We dont normally think of onstreet parking as a resource. The city, in effect, is supplying parking for businesses downtown, Alifano said. I think the community will support this. Revenue raised from the pay stations could go toward business improvements downtown, he said.
There is some support for the idea from downtown businesses. It sounds like a good idea to rotate customers in and out quickly, said Mark Andermahr, owner of Main Streets Half Moon Bakery. The bakery, however, has two 15-minute parking spots on the street that he hopes will not be lost due to the pay stations. An employee, who did not want to be named, at Its Italia restaurant on Main Street, however, is not keen on the idea. I think its a terrible idea, the employee said. The restaurants owner, however, may think differently, the employee said. And she does. Its Italia owner Betsy Del Fierro likes the idea. It will benefit a city that is in dire straits and even be a pull for business, Del Fierro said. It will legitimize downtown. Employees working downtown are taking up valuable customer spaces, she said.
Business owners and employees will likely have to park on Purisima or Johnston streets if the city does install the pay stations. The issue to charge for parking downtown has come up before but not by the current council, said Councilwoman Marina Fraser. She does not think that having to pay for parking will deter business downtown. You do not stop shopping somewhere because you have to put a couple of coins in the meter, Fraser said. The pay stations Half Moon Bay is considering to install will accept credit cards and can be paid with smartphones, Fraser said. We want to use these emerging technologies to make it convenient to park for our residents and visitors, she said. So far, the city is considering charging $2 an hour for parking, although it will be some time before hours of operation are determined. Councilman John Muller told the Daily Journal yesterday that the business community must be listened to carefully before moving on with the project. A Half Moon Bay Chamber of Commerce official said the chamber has yet to determine whether it will support the idea. There will be plenty of more meetings on the topic for public participation, Fraser said.

THURSDAY, OCT. 20, 2011 LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Be wary of taking a
financial risk on an involvement that you cannot personally control. Theres a chance you might end up paying for someone elses mistakes. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Its sad but true that not everyone you deal with will bide by the same high standards you set for yourself. Be careful not to trip over your own naivete. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Even though you have a sharp eye for details, it might be difficult for you to see the entire picture. You should stand back a bit, in order to take in and analyze the whole view.
so that responsibilities are given greater priority over pleasurable pursuits. Unless you think ahead and use reason, you could waste valuable time. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be careful that you dont base your judgment and decision-making on emotional rather than logical aspects of your life. Needless to say, you would fare better if the emphasis were reversed. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- A project you establish for yourself might look far easier on paper than it actually is. However, once you discover this, dont use it as an excuse to dump the effort.
you are irresponsible in handling your personal funds. Wasteful extravagance will emerge victorious if you dont practice a little financial discipline. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you promise or give away much more than you should when cutting a deal, youll regret it later, when you have time to reflect. Be fair to others, but make sure that youre taken care of, too. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Make sure you distinguish the difference between positive and mere wishful thinking. The former enhances success; the latter only invites failure.
opportunities hover about you at this point in time, but you might not even recognize them for what they are, owing to an indifferent attitude on your part. Be alert. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It isnt right to expect others to do things for you that you can do equally well or even manage far more competently then they, unless youre paying them to do so. Dont expect any free rides. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Even though youre a rather perceptive individual, you could be taken in and accept something at face value instead of checking things out as you usually do. Dont be naive.

WORLD
Creditors have demanded the meaures before they give Greece more funds from a (euro) 110 billion ($152.11 billion) package of bailout loans from other eurozone countries and the International Monetary Fund. Greece says it will run out of money in mid-November without the (euro) 8 billion ($11 billion) installment. But Greek citizens said they already are reeling from more than one-and-a-half years of austerity measures. We just cant take it any more. There is desperation, anger and bitterness, said Nikos Anastasopoulos, head of a workers union for an Athens municipality, as he joined the demonstration early in the day. The bill won initial approval in the 300-member Parliament late Wednesday, with 154 deputies voting in favor on principle and 141 against.
ATHENS, Greece Hundreds of youths smashed and looted stores in central Athens and clashed with riot police during a massive anti-government rally against painful new austerity measures that won initial parliamentary approval in a vote Wednesay night. The rioting came on the rst day of a 48-hour nationwide general strike that brought services in much of Greece to a standstill, grounding ights for hours, leaving ferries tied up in port and shutting down customs ofces, stores and banks. More than 100,000 people took to the streets of the Greek capital to demonstrate against the austerity bill, which includes new tax hikes, further pension and salary cuts, the suspension on reduced pay of 30,000 public servants and the suspension of collective labor contracts.
