San Mateo County was not invit-
ed by the state to apply for up to
$100 million in jail construction
funds, money that could have cov-
ered more than half the buildings
price tag and slash the ongoing
debt.
The California Department of
Co r r e c t i o n s
notified local
o f f i c i a l s
Wednesday that
the county was
not invited but
could still apply
anyway. The
county ranked
low in part
because it was
c o m p e t i n g
against other
large counties
and sends the
fewest inmates
to state prisons,
said Sheriff
Greg Munks.
I was very
optimistic and
now Im very
disappointed,
Munks said,
saying the
county was
e s s e n t i a l l y
punished for
its size and
i ncar cer at i on
rate.
The county
sends approxi-
mately 560 inmates to state facili-
ties.
Deputy County Manager Mary
McMillan echoed disappointment
low incarceration was the basis as
well as the county competing in the
large county categories. The top
cutoff for medium size was 700,000
and San Mateo County has 738,000

Were your roads and streets dam-
aged? 13-year-old Abbey Vixie asked
referring to the aftermath of the March
earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
The event made international news.
For San Mateos Odyssey School com-
munity, the news caused fear and worry.
Odyssey has long had a sister relation-
ship with Tokiwagi, a school in Sendai
badly damaged by the two natural
events. Annually, Odyssey students trav-
el to Japan in the spring while the
Tokiwagi students visit California in
October. San Mateo students didnt trav-
el to Japan last year due to the damage.
Instead, students created the Tokiwagi
Sendai Quake Odyssey Relief Fund. But
the partnership wasnt damaged by
natures fury. Thirteen girls from Japan
have been staying with Odyssey families
and learning about American culture
since Oct. 22.
Seventeen-year-old Chiaki Kikuchi
told Vixie the roads had in fact been
damaged; then used her laptop to show
photographs.
On Thursday, students from both
schools sat on the oor of an Odyssey
classroom in two circles simply talking.
The visiting students will give a talk
Saturday during which theyll eld ques-
tions from the community. Children and
adults alike will provide the questions,
explained Hiroshi Imase, Odysseys
Japanese teacher. Odyssey students were
trying to provide practice questions
before the event.
Students from both schools benet
from the partnership, Imase said. Its a
chance to practice English and Japanese
while learning about a different culture,

Investors guilty
of rigging real
estate auctions
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Three San Mateo real estate investors and one who does
business in the county have pleaded guilty to rigging public
foreclosure auctions outside the courthouse in Redwood City
by agreeing not to bid against each other, according to the
Department of Justice.
Troy Kent of San Mateo, Henry Pesah of Burlingame, James
Doherty of Hillsborough and Laith Salma of San Francisco,
were among eight Northern California real estate investors
who pleaded guilty for their roles in two separate conspiracies
between November 2008 and January 2011.
The men agreed not to bid against each other for foreclosed
properties auctioned off outside the county courthouse in
Redwood City and in San Francisco County. Instead, they kept
the winning price low which, in turn, federal prosecutors say,
damaged the real estate market and defrauded those expecting
a fair marketplace.
City and communications
company tangle in court
Judge to rule if Burlingame moratorium
on wireless devices applies to ExteNet
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Whether Burlingames temporary ban on wireless communi-
cation devices applies to a company which applied before the
councils vote on it will be decided next week, Judge George
Miram said during a preliminary hearing Thursday morning.
In September, the Burlingame City Council unanimously
approved a 45-day moratorium on wireless communication
devices which also covers previous applications. The tempo-
rary ban was recently extended another 90 days. Its the action
of covering applications already in the works which communi-

Tennessee dog missing for three
months turns up in Michigan
ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich. Jim
Arrighi last saw Petey, his 4-year-old
Jack Russell terrier, in the backyard of
his Erin, Tenn., home.
That was in July, and the 73-year-old
retired electrician had nearly given up on
seeing his pet again when he learned the
dog turned up safe about 500 miles away
in suburban Detroit.
A Michigan Humane Society volun-
teer was expected to return Petey to
Arrighi Thursday morning.
This is just a little town and every-
body is buzzing about it, said Arrighis
daughter, Tyanne Morrison.
Most of Erins roughly 7,000 residents
know one another, and many of them
would recognize Petey, which is why
Arrighi, Morrison and their friends sus-
pect he was pooch-napped by an out-of-
towner.
Morrison believes Petey left his yard
and somebody picked him up.
We searched. We knew someone had
gotten him, she told the Associated
Press by phone on Wednesday. We got
on 4-wheelers and went all over the
area. There had been some more dogs
over the last few months that were miss-
ing.
While struggling with the loss of his
dog, Arrighi also lost his wife, Juanita,
who suffered from pulmonary disease
and died Oct. 12.
Since my mother passed away, even I
told him why dont we go to the pound
to give a home to a puppy that dont
have a home, Morrison said.
Last week, a homeowner in Rochester
Hills, about 20 miles north of Detroit,
saw Petey in his backyard and took him
to a Humane Society animal care center.
As it does with every recovered dog
and cat, the Michigan Humane Society
scanned Petey for an implanted
microchip, which led the organization to
its owner, spokesman Kevin Hatman
said.
Arrighi, who has been staying at
Morrisons home since his wife died,
was thrilled to receive the call, she said.
He thinks my mother, who is in heav-
en, sent the dog back to him, Morrison
said.
She said their local veterinarian likely
recommended Petey get a microchip.
It was only about $70 total,
Morrison said. Now, a lot of people are
inquiring about it.
The Michigan Humane Society rec-
ommends that all pet dogs and cats get
microchips implanted, in addition to
making sure they have collars and iden-
tication tags.
Its wonderful when we see
microchip reunions, including those that
seem like miracles, said Marcelena
Mace, shelter manager at the Rochester
Hills Center for Animal Care. It really
proves that no matter how far your pet
may travel, a microchip can help him
nd his way home.
Microchips, which also are implanted
in pet cats, are about the size of a grain
of rice and typically injected near the
animals shoulder blade, said Adam
Goldfarb, director of pet care issues with
the Washington, D.C.-based Humane
Society of the United States.
The chips do not have their own power
sources and only can be found and read
with a scanner.
Puppy rescued from
top of train gets new home
COLUMBIA, S.C. Four reght-
ers in a South Carolina town plucked a
frightened black lab puppy from the top
of a double-decker freight train car and
delivered her to a new, loving home.
We dont know how long she was up
there, Liberty assistant re chief Chris
Rowland said Tuesday. She was scared.
She was ready to come down.
Rowlands team of four reghters
was called Sunday evening after Tina
Parker of nearby Pickens spotted the pup
while she and her family were stopped at
a red light and saw the train pass by.
Parker said she saw what she thought
was trash on the top of the train, but then
it started moving and she realized it was
a small dog.
Theres no question it was a puppy,
Parker said.
She called 911 and followed the train
to Liberty about six miles away.

The San Mateo County Times has survived
its parent companys consolidation ax and will
continue to print daily editions under its cur-
rent masthead.
The Bay Area News Group had planned to
fold the County Times into a section of the
San Jose Mercury News starting next week
after making company-wide layoffs.
Yesterday, however, BANG announced it
will continue to print under the County Times
masthead and also keep the Oakland Tribune
and Contra Costa Times distinct editions.
BANG had considered folding several of its
smaller dailies into larger regional editions
and was set to turn the Oakland Tribune into
the East Bay Tribune next Wednesday in a
cost-saving effort.
The company announced yesterday it decid-
ed to abandon those plans but layoffs are still
coming to its newsrooms across the Bay Area,
however.
Companywide, BANG had previously said
it needed to layoff about 120 employees and
was considering closing its Walnut Creek pro-
duction facility.
About 25 journalists will be laid off next
week, BANGs Managing Editor Bert
Robinson told the Daily Journal yesterday.
The company had originally said it would
need to let go of about 40 journalists.
The company decided to keep the County
Times masthead because readers have a con-
nection with the newspaper, Robinson said.
We got a lot of blowback from our readers
about the mastheads.
Top BANG ofcials met internally Friday
about the mastheads before making the
announcement, he said.
San Mateo County Times Editor Glenn
Rabinowitz could not comment yesterday on
the companys decision to keep the masthead
intact.
Staff at the San Mateo ofce did say, how-
ever, it expects to continue covering local
issues from an ofce here in the county,
although it might not be from its current space
on Ninth Avenue.
BANG employs about 320 journalists in its
Bay Area newsrooms and another 1,000
employees in sales, production and other
areas.
The company is looking to save money on
its print editions and gain more revenue from
its online and mobile editions.
Keeping the County Times alive is
extremely good news on many levels, said
former Times reporter Marshall Wilson, the
current public communications manager for
San Mateo County.
A vibrant and competitive local media
writing about local people, events and institu-
tions helps to connect a community, he said
in an email to the Daily Journal. I worked at
the Times when the paper celebrated its 100-
year anniversary, long before the Internet and
smartphones dramatically changed the busi-
ness model. Although no one can say how
news will be delivered in the future, I think its
fun to imagine the name living on for another
100 years.
The San Mateo County Times was estab-
lished in 1888.

LOS ANGELES Two men accused of
brutally beating San Francisco Giants fan
Bryan Stow in a Dodger Stadium parking lot
on opening day should be held liable for
potentially tens of millions of dollars in a fam-
ily lawsuit, an attorney who represents the
team and its owner said Thursday.
Lawyer Jerome Jackson led a cross-com-
plaint last week that argues Marvin Norwood
and Louis Sanchez not the Dodgers are
to blame for the brain damage that Stow suf-
fered in March. Both Norwood and Sanchez
have pleaded not guilty to
one count each of may-
hem, assault by means
likely to produce great
bodily injury, and battery
with serious bodily injury.
Jackson also predicted
that if the case goes to
trial, jurors could decide
that Stow himself shares
some of the blame.
Ive been doing these
cases for 23 years and I have never seen one
yet which it didnt take at least two people to
tango, Jackson told ESPNLosAngeles.com.
One of the things the jury will be asked to
do is to determine what percentage of fault
various individuals have for this event,
Jackson told the website.

Changing the school assignments
of 47 San Mateo homes a move
that could impact four districts
nancially was given preliminary
approval Tuesday but needs to go to
a vote to be nalized.
The County Ofce of Education is
working with County Counsel on
the next steps and who will need to
be part of the election.
Earlier this summer, Mark
Bendick submitted a neighborhood
petition to change the school assign-
ments for the homes on Fairmont
Drive. Students are currently zoned
to attend Belmont-Redwood Shores
Elementary and Sequoia Union
High school districts. Under the pro-
posal, students would instead attend
the San Mateo-Foster City
Elementary and San Mateo Union
High school districts. On Tuesday,
the San Mateo County Committee
on School District Organization
gave a preliminary OK to the plans.
We are extremely pleased with
the decision that was rendered, par-
ticularly as the committee was unan-
imous during its review and
approval of each of the nine crite-
ria, Bendick said.
That decision would be nal if all
the districts supported the move,
said Nancy Magee, administrator of
board support and community rela-
tions. Only one district, San Mateo-
Foster City, favors the move.
Belmont-Redwood Shores and
Sequoia are both opposed while San
Mateo Union has decided to stay
neutral, said Magee.
To obtain a hearing on the propos-
al, Bendick gathered signatures
from 25 percent of the registered
voters in the area. He previously
shared his hope that the four dis-
tricts will be amenable to the change
noting its a small number of houses
with none of the children currently
enrolled in their assigned district.
The petition aims to move proper-
ties within 2020 to 2098 on
Fairmont Drive and 2025 to 2089 on
Fairmont Drive.
The location of the homes, by De
Anza Boulevard and on the north
side of State Route 92, makes walk-
ing to the assigned Belmont schools
difcult. Since the mid 1980s, fami-
lies have been able to choose which
of the four districts they would like
to send their children. Many fami-
lies in the neighborhood have cho-
sen to have students attend schools
in San Mateo.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORTER
The former longtime bookkeeper who
stole millions of dollars from the San
Carlos family who employed her was
sentenced this week to 46 months in
prison for tax evasion and ordered to pay
more than $6 million to her victims and
the U.S. government.
Ann Ray, also know as Georgia
Engelhart, must repay her former
employers $4.76 million and also pay
the U.S. Internal Revenue Service $1.27
million for never reporting the embez-
zled funds as taxable income. Federal
prosecutors say she hid a total of
$3,785,773.83 from the IRS during a
six-year period.
Ray pleaded no contest in August to
six felony counts of tax evasion with the
understanding she would receive the
prison term and restitution order. On
Wednesday, Ray was formally sen-
tenced, according to the U.S. Attorneys
Ofce.
Ray, 67, and now living in Antioch,
worked for 34 years as the bookkeeper
for several businesses owned by a San
Carlos family identied as T in court
records. Federal prosecutors said Ray
began embezzling small amounts in the
1980s but the amounts grew to hundreds
of thousands of dollars each year by
2004. She continued until May 2009,
writing checks from the companies
bank accounts to her personal credit
cards which she then used for items
including vacations and gambling. She
also falsied the books and records and
created false inter-company transfers,
according to the plea agreement.
She was charged July 8 in federal
court and pleaded guilty July 19.
Woodside bookkeeper imprisoned for tax fraud
By Judy Lin
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown
on Thursday unveiled his plan for over-
hauling public retirement benefits
requiring California lawmakers to tread
carefully between protecting taxpayers
and the public employees who serve tax-
payers.
While Republican lawmakers were
cautiously optimistic, Brown received a
more tepid response from his fellow
Democrats who hold a majority of seats
in both the state Assembly and Senate.
Some public employee union leaders
who hold a lot of influence in the
Legislature quickly lined up to oppose
his plan.
Some of the governors proposals go
too far and run the risk of undermining
retirement security for thousands of
California school bus drivers, special
education aides, custodians, school cafe-
teria workers and their families, said
Allan Clark, president of the California
School Employees Association, in a
statement.
The Democratic governor is seeking
to move new state workers to a hybrid
system where guaranteed benets are
combined with a 401(k)-style plan. He
would raise the age civil state employees
are eligible for full retirement benets
from 60 to 67.
Newly hired public safety employees
would have to work beyond the current
minimum retirement age of 50 depend-
ing on their ability to perform the job.
While Browns plan deals mostly with
new state hires, he also wants current
employees to contribute at least half of
the cost of their pension benets because
some local government workers current-
ly put in nothing of their own.
Applying this is going to take some
care, Brown said at the state Capitol in
outlining his 12-point plan. But Ive
laid out what I think is a minimum that
every plan in California ought to meet
at a minimum protects taxpayers
while being fair to the employees.
Browns finance director Ana
Matosantos estimated that changes
would reduce the states contributions by
$4 billion to $11 billion over the next 30
years as the plan is implemented. She
said all other aspects of government
from courts and schools to cities and
counties would see their own savings,
too.
The Brown administration said it was
still working out ner details of the pro-
posal but the governor said he is asking
the Legislature to put a measure on a
statewide ballot so the changes would
impact both state and local government
employees.
Brown unveils pension overhaul
State lawmakers balance taxpayers, public employees
Require all new and current employees to
contribute at least 50 percent of their retirement
costs,shifting the burden from public employers,
some of whom currently make the entire
contribution.This portion of the proposal would
be phased in.Employers and employees would
be barred from suspending contributions.
Form a mandatory hybridrisk-sharing pension
plan for new employees. New plan would
include a reduced, guaranteed dened benet,
a dened contribution portion such as a 401(k)-
style plan, and Social Security. The goal would
be to replace 75 percent of an employees salary,
based on a 30-year career for public safety
employees, or 35 years for non-public safety
employees.
Raise the age state employees are eligible for
full retirement benets from 60 to 67 to align
with Social Security.The administration has not
calculated a minimum retirement age, which is
currently 55. Raise the retirement age beyond
the current 50 years for newly hired public safety
employees to an age based on their ability to
perform the job and maintain public safety.
For new employees,calculate pension benets
based on the highest average annual
compensation for three years, rather than the
current one-year system. Benets would be
calculated based on regular, recurring pay and
would not include special bonuses, unused
vacation time or overtime.
Bar all employees from buying service credits
known as air time, to boost retirement service
credit for time not actually worked.
Add two independent, public members with
nancial expertise to the board of the California
Public Employee Retirement System board.
Replace the State Personnel Board
representative on that board with the director of
the California Department of Finance. Brown
also will recommend that other public
retirement boards make similar changes.
Prohibit retroactive pension increases based
on earlier retirement or higher benet levels for
all employees.
Require new state employees to work for 15
years to become eligible for any state-funded
health care premiums and 25 years to qualify
for the maximum state contribution to those
premiums. State-provided retiree health care
premium coverage would end at Medicare
eligibility age, when the state would fund only
Medicare premium coverage and limited wrap-
aroundhealth care benets.
Pension overhaul proposal
Deficit panel looking
at benefits and taxes
By David Espo and Andrew Taylor
WASHINGTON Rival decit-cutting plans advanced by
Republicans and Democrats on Congress secretive supercom-
mittee would mean both smaller-than-expected cost of living
benet increases for veterans and federal retirees as well as
Social Security recipients and bump up taxes for some indi-
viduals and families.
The changes would reduce decits by an estimated $200 bil-
lion over a decade, a fraction of the committees minimum goal
of $1.2 trillion in savings.
A nal decision by the panel on legislation to reduce decits is
still a few weeks off, and given the political difculties involved,
there is no certainty the 12 lawmakers will be able to agree.
Sex offender
addresses tied
to foster homes
By Juliet Williams
SACRAMENTO More than 1,000 addresses for foster
homes run by the state Department of Social Services and
three of Californias county agencies match addresses found in
the states sex offender registries, according to a state auditors
report released Thursday.
The auditors ofce said that three years after it told Social
Services ofcials to begin using the California Department of
Justices sex offender registry to identify offenders who might
be living or working near foster children, the department still
wasnt checking the database. State Auditor Elaine Howle said
about 600 of the addresses were tied to high-risk sex offenders.
The department, which oversees the 58 county child welfare
programs and more than 85,000 licensed facilities, was noti-
ed of the matches in July. Since then, Social Services and
county agencies have investigated 99 percent of the matching
addresses and found six cases in which registered sex offend-
ers were living or present at licensed facilities.

OAKLAND The Iraq War vet-
eran injured during a clash between
police and anti-Wall Street protest-
ers this week wasnt taking part in
the demonstrations out of economic
need.
The 24-year-old Scott Olsen
makes a good living as a network
engineer and has a nice apartment
overlooking San Francisco Bay.
And yet, his friends say, he felt so
strongly about economic inequality
in the United States that he fought
for overseas that he slept at a protest
camp after work.
He felt you shouldnt wait until
something is affecting you to get out
and do something about it, said
friend and roommate Keith
Shannon, who served with Olsen in
Iraq.
It was that feeling that drew him
to Oakland on Tuesday night, when
the clashes broke out and Olsens
skull was fractured. Fellow veterans
said Olsen was struck in the head by
a projectile red by police, although
the exact object and who might have
been responsible for the injury have
not been denitively established.
Now, even as ofcials investigate
exactly where the projectile came
from, Olsen has become a rallying
cry for the Occupy Wall Street
demonstrators across the nation,
with Twitter users and protest web-
sites declaring: We are all Scott
Olsen.
In Las Vegas, a few dozen protest-
ers held a vigil for him. A handful of
police ofcers attended, and protest-
ers invited them back for a potluck
dinner Thursday night.
We renewed our vow of nonvio-
lence, organizer Sebring Frehner
said.
Another round of vigils were
organized for Thursday night,
including one in Oakland.

WASHINGTON A summer of
modest economic growth is helping
dispel lingering fears that another
recession might be near.
Whether the strength can be sus-
tained is less certain.
The economy grew at an annual
rate of 2.5 percent in the July-
September quarter, the Commerce
Department said Thursday. But the
growth was fueled by Americans
who spent more while earning less
and by businesses that invested in
machines and computers, not work-
ers.
The expansion, the best quarterly
growth in a year, came as a relief
after anemic growth in the rst half
of the year, weeks of wild stock mar-
ket shifts and the weakest consumer
condence since the height of the
Great Recession.
The economy would have to grow
at nearly double the third-quarter
pace to make a dent in the unem-
ployment rate, which has stayed near
9 percent since the recession ofcial-
ly ended more than two years ago.
For the more than 14 million
Americans who are out of work and
want a job, thats discouraging news.
And for President Barack Obama
and incumbent members of
Congress, it means theyll be facing
voters with unemployment near 9
percent.
It is still a very weak economy out
there, said David Wyss, former chief
economist at Standard & Poors.
For now, the report on U.S. gross
domestic product, or GDP, sketched
a more optimistic picture for an
economy that only two months ago
seemed at risk of another recession.
And it came on the same day that
European leaders announced a deal
in which banks would take 50 per-
cent losses on Greek debt and raise
new capital to protect against
defaults on sovereign debt.
Stocks surged on the European
deal and maintained their gains after
the report on U.S. growth was
released. The Dow Jones rose 340
points to close at 12,209. The Dow
hadnt closed above 12,000 since
Aug. 1. The Standard & Poors 500
index is close to having its best
month since 1974.
If higher stock prices lead con-
sumers to feel more condent about
their wealth, they may spend more.
That could help sustain economic
growth.
The GDP report measures the
countrys total output of goods and
services. It covers everything from
bicycles to battleships, as well as
services such as haircuts and doctors
visits.
Some economists doubt the econo-
my can maintain its modest third-
quarter pace.
U.S. lawmakers are debating deep
cuts in federal spending next year
that would drag on growth. And state
and local governments have been
slashing budgets for more than a
year.
Obamas $447 billion jobs plan
was blocked by Republicans, mean-
ing that a Social Security tax cut that
put an extra $1,000 to $2,000 this
year in most Americans pockets
could expire in January.
Will it last?

BRUSSELS European leaders
clinched a deal Thursday they hope
will mark a turning point in their
two-year debt crisis, agreeing after
a night of tense negotiations to have
banks take bigger losses on
Greeces debts and to boost the
regions weapons against the market
turmoil.
After months of dawdling and
half-baked solutions, the leaders
had been under immense pressure to
nalize their plan to prevent the cri-
sis from pushing Europe and much
of the developed world back into
recession and to protect their cur-
rency union from unraveling.
World stock markets surged high-
er Thursday on the news. Oil prices
rose above $92 per barrel while the
euro gained strongly a signal
investors were relieved at the out-
come of the contentious negotia-
tions.
We have reached an agreement,
which I believe lets us give a credi-
ble and ambitious and overall
response to the Greek crisis, French
President Nicolas Sarkozy told
reporters. Because of the complex-
ity of the issues at stake, it took us a
full night. But the results will be a
source of huge relief worldwide.
Sarkozy later called his Chinese
counterpart Hu Jintao and pledged
to cooperate to revive global
growth, but there was no word on
whether Beijing might contribute to
Europes bailout fund.
The funds chief executive is due
to visit Beijing on Friday to talk to
potential investors. Beijing has
expressed sympathy for the 27-
nation European Union, its biggest
trading partner, but has yet to com-
mit any cash.
The strategy unveiled after 10
hours of negotiations focused on
three key points. These included a
significant reduction in Greeces
debts, a shoring up of the conti-
nents banks, partially so they could
sustain deeper losses on Greek
bonds, and a reinforcement of a
European bailout fund so it can
serve as a (euro) 1 trillion ($1.39
trillion) rewall to prevent larger
economies like Italy and Spain from
being dragged into the crisis.
After several missed opportuni-
ties, hashing out a plan was a suc-
cess for the 17-nation eurozone, but
the strategys effectiveness will
depend on the details, which will
have to be nalized in the coming
weeks.
President Barack Obama, who
had been increasingly pressuring
Europe to get its act together in
recent weeks, welcomed the plan
but pointedly noted that the U.S.
was looking forward to its full
development and rapid implementa-
tion.
Europes debt deal pleases markets

WASHINGTON One out of
every ve Americans lives in a com-
munity that pays a for-prot compa-
ny to install and operate cameras
that record trafc violations. A pro-
consumer group says that practice
could end up putting prots ahead of
safety and accuracy.
Some contracts require cities to
share revenue with camera vendors
on a per-ticket basis or through
other formulas. Suffolk County,
N.Y., for example, diverts half of the
revenue from its red-light camera
program to its vendor, according to
the report being released Thursday
by the U.S. Public Interest Research
Group.
Another type of agreement
conditional cost-neutral contracts
also contain provisions that link
payments to the number of tickets
issued, although the payments are
capped, the report said. Under these
contracts, local governments pay a
monthly fee to a camera vendor. If
ticket revenues fail to cover the ven-
dors fee in any given month, cities
may delay payments.

WASHINGTON Good news
for seniors: The government says
Medicares basic monthly premium
will rise less than expected next year,
by $3.50 for most.
It could be good, too, for President
Barack Obama and Democrats strug-
gling for older Americans votes in a
close election.
At $99.90 per month, the 2012 Part
B premium for outpatient care will
be about $7 less than projected as
recently as May. The additional
money that most seniors will pay
works out to about 10 percent of the
average Social Security cost-of-liv-
ing increase theyll also be due.
Some recently enrolled younger
retirees will actually pay less. They
were charged $115.40 a month this
year, and theyll see that go down to
$99.90.
The main reason for lower-than-
expected premiums seems to be the
connection between Social Security
COLAs and Medicare. Some also
cite a moderation in health care costs.
Medicare premiums up
but not as much as expected

an agreement, which I believe lets

Perry may skip
some debates
By Will Weissert
AUSTIN, Texas Rick Perry may
skip some upcoming GOP presiden-
tial debates, side-
stepping a cam-
paign staple that
hasnt been kind
to the Texas gov-
ernor in his rst
two months on
the national
stage. Its a deci-
sion that ulti-
mately could
cause other Republicans to bow out
of the more than half-dozen face-offs
scheduled between now and the Iowa
caucuses on Jan. 3.
Perry does plan to participate in a
Nov. 9 debate at Oakland University
in Rochester, Mich. his sixth
but he hasnt committed to any others
beyond that as political advisers hun-
ker down to determine how best to
proceed. Hes juggling fundraising
and retail campaigning with only two
months before the rst votes in the
Republican nomination ght are cast.
We havent said no, but were
looking at each debate, campaign
spokesman Mark Miner said
Thursday. There are numerous
15, 16, 17 debates, and were tak-
ing a look at each one and were mak-
ing the appropriate consideration.
He said that while debates are part
of the process, theyre just one part.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt
Romney, considered the Republican
candidate to beat because of his leads
in national polls, fundraising and
organization, also has not committed
to debating beyond Michigan.

OPINION 9
Doubting Thomas
Editor,
For those doubting Thomas Elliot of
San Mateo (Internet communication
published in the Oct. 21 edition of the
Daily Journal) who questions the valid-
ity of Tonopah Solar receiving a $737
million loan from the federal govern-
ment, all you need to do to fact check
is search online by typing, Tonopah
Solar receives federal loan, and oodles
of stories will pop up.
If Mr. Ellitot can not manage, allow
me to help. Simply go to capolitical-
news.com and there it is. But perhaps
that is too right wing of a source and
therefore unreliable. Okay, go to
www.8newsnow.com. They have it too.
Not good enough? How about the
source of the loan? Go to federalregis-
ter.gov.
In so far as Nancy Pelosis brother-
in-law being the number two man at
Pacic Corporate Group (PCG), he is
listed on its website. Really. Go see.
And yes, Tonopah Solar is a subsidiary
of California-based SolarReserve. And
yes, PCG is an investment partner with
SolarReserve.
There is one thing Elliot was right
about. As an elected ofcial, I am care-
ful to check my sources. That said, we
all make mistakes and I can stand to be
corrected when Im wrong. But really,
Mr. Elliot should do some sluething
before he implies I simply goosed an
online story to make the Obama admin-
istration, Senator Harry Reid and the
former Speaker of the House, Nancy
Pelosi, look bad.

Families not FARs
Editor,
Keep families in Redwood City. The
Residential Hillside Zoning Codes as
proposed by Redwood City planning
staff will drive families out of
Redwood City (Development rules
cause ire in the Oct. 19 edition of the
Daily Journal). The Floor Area Ratio
(FAR) house size restrictions that city
staff wants to impose on homeowners
in the hills will prevent families from
adding on to their homes to make room
for a new baby or to take care of an
aging parent. Ive lived in Redwood
City for more than 60 years and weve
never needed these kinds of restrictions
on existing homes before, which is why
we have such a vital, family-oriented

Planning staff should take out the

n June 2010, the San Mateo
County Community College
District asked voters to pass a par-
cel tax measure that would cost proper-
ty owners $34 a year to provide $6 mil-
lion a year for local students education.
State budget cuts had their way with
the district at a time when many were
using the districts three campuses to
obtain their associate of arts degree or
get job training. That need has not
changed. The need for such educational
resources is now at a premium. County
voters were generous with the measure
and with previous bond measures that
helped shift the shape of the campuses
and provide new facilities. In 2001, vot-
ers approved the $207 million Measure
C and, in 2005, they approved the $468
million Measure A.
Now, the district is asking voters to
approve Measure H, which would gen-
erate $564 million in bonds for addi-
tional improvements to the campuses of
Skyline College, the College of San
Mateo and Caada College. The cost
would be approximately $12.90 a year
per $100,000 assessed value of a prop-
erty. For a $500,000 house, that would
equal $64.50 a year. District ofcials
contend the bond is needed because the
state has eliminated all matching fund-
ing for facilities improvements and that
a portion of the money would go to a
sinking fund for equipment replacement
that is currently taken from the general
fund. That amount is approximately $1
million to $2 million which would then
be freed up for general classroom
expenses.
The countys three community col-
leges are a tremendous resource and
demand for the classes provided at the
school are at an all-time high. However,
saddling the electorate with an addi-
tional debt for improvements on top of
bond measures already passed is not the
right choice right now. And the small
amount that would be freed up for gen-
eral expenses does not justify the
tremendous expense of such a large-
scale bond that will take years to pay
off. A better alternative right now might
have been to pass an additional parcel
tax to fund staff or a signicantly
smaller bond that would create a sink-
ing fund for equipment replacement so
additional resources could be placed
directly into the classroom.
The worst-case scenario if Measure H
does not pass is that the district would
not have access to that $1 million to $2
million a year and that students would
have to study in state-of-the-art build-
ings paid for with previous bonds next
to ones that are 50 years old. For now,
thats a scenario we should be able to
live with particularly in these tough
times when many property owners are
facing increased expenses along with
diminishing income.
No on Measure H
A new day in San Carlos
By Andy Klein
A
pproximately two years ago, when I was elected
to the San Carlos City Council, we were faced
with a very difficult decision. We could continue
to cut the city budget and city services and still possibly
face bankruptcy. Or we could restruc-
ture our city and find a way to provide
services that would be, not only eco-
nomically feasible, but sustainable long
term as well. After two public work-
shops in March 2010, I, along with my
fellow councilmembers, decided to take
the road less traveled and began to
restructure our city. Since that time, I
have written two other guest perspec-
tives. In my first guest perspective, San Carlos at a
Crossroads, I detailed the tough economic situation that
San Carlos faced and how, after a decade of continual cuts,
the City Council had begun to look at other options. In my
second guest perspective, The New San Carlos, I
described the decision to restructure our government and
detailed the successful partnerships we had established
with the San Mateo County Sheriffs Office and Gachina
Landscaping.
Now, after just over a year of exploring ways to fix our
structural deficit, the city of San Carlos finds itself with a
budget surplus and a bright financial future. San Carlos
was able to save money through a variety of partnerships
and employee concessions. The partnership between the
city of San Carlos and the San Mateo County Sheriffs
Office saves $2 million annually while increasing police
services and the police presence in our town. The contract
San Carlos has with Gachina Landscaping saves $600,000
annually while increasing the maintenance to our parks.
Our current city employees each gave back 5 percent to 8
percent of their salaries and benefits, saving the communi-
ty more than $500,000 annually. However, even with all of
these changes, we still needed more to correct the budget
deficit. The final piece of the puzzle was the dissolution of
the Belmont-San Carlos Fire Department and the return of
the San Carlos Fire Department.
San Carlos had been well served for more than 30 years
by the South County Fire Department that was renamed to
the Belmont-San Carlos Fire Department in 2007. The
decision to dissolve the joint fire department came down
to cost. San Carlos could not afford to pay the sharply ris-
ing expenses (more than 30 percent in just five years) dur-
ing an economic downturn when the citys revenues were
flat and in some cases dropping. The lack of control of
these rising costs and how fire services were delivered
made looking for a new way to provide the service
absolutely vital. After a number of public meetings, public
input and debate, the City Council voted 5-0 to bring back
the San Carlos Fire Department and share its management
with Redwood City. This new partnership would save San
Carlos $1 million annually and save Redwood City another
$1 million per year while maintaining current fire service
levels and provide an opportunity for enhanced fire servic-
es down the road. On Oct. 1, San Carlos was proud to
launch the new city fire department. San Carlos has high
hopes for this great partnership with our longtime friends
in Redwood City. Specifically, we want our fire depart-
ment to be fiscally sustainable, mutually beneficial for San
Carlos and Redwood City, and deliver a high level of qual-
ity service throughout the community.
None of the decisions or changes made were easy for the
council or the community. However, after the loss of four
revenue measures, these changes are what the public
demanded and we have delivered on their request to live
within our financial means. Now, after more than a
decade of cutbacks and budget deficits, San Carlos finds
itself on the other side of the storm. We have begun by
adding more police services, building a new playground
and creating more opportunities for public input and out-
reach. Adding services and repairing infrastructure is now
a welcome conversation in San Carlos. It has been too
long since we have been able to give proper attention to
these issues.
Special thanks is owed to the city staff of San Carlos,
the San Mateo County Sheriffs Office, the staff of the San
Carlos Fire Department, the staff and Council Members in
Redwood City and the Redwood City Fire Department.
Without these talented people none of this would have
been possible. Finally, I want to give a thank you to the
citizens of San Carlos and the members of the City
Council. This is a great day for our community and with-
out your support it would never have come. As your
mayor, Im proud to tell you that San Carlos has so much
to look forward to in the weeks and months ahead. Clearly
the best is yet to come in the City of Good Living!
Andy Klein is the mayor of San Carlos.

NEW YORK An agreement to con-
tain the European debt crisis electried
the stock market Thursday, driving the
Dow Jones Industrial average up nearly
340 points and putting the Standard &
Poors 500 index on track for its best
month since 1974.
Investors were relieved after European
leaders crafted a deal to slash Greeces
debt load and prevent the crisis there
from engulfing larger countries like
Italy. The package is aimed at preventing
another nancial disaster like the one
that happened in September 2008 after
the collapse of Lehman Brothers.
But some analysts cautioned that
Europes problems remained unsolved.
The market keeps on thinking that its
put Europes problems to bed, but its
like putting a three-year old to bed: You
might put it there but it wont stay
there, said David Kelly, chief market
strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds.
Kelly said Europes debt problems
will remain an issue until the economies
of struggling nations like Greece and
Portugal grow again.
Commodities and Treasury yields
soared as investors took on more risk.
The euro rose sharply against the dollar.
Stronger U.S. economic growth and
corporate earnings also contributed to
the surge. The government reported that
the American economy grew at a 2.5
percent annual rate from July through
September on stronger consumer spend-
ing and business investment. That was
nearly double the 1.3 percent growth in
the previous quarter.
Banks agreed to take 50 percent losses
on the Greek bonds they hold. Europe
will also strengthen a nancial rescue
fund to protect the regions banks and
other struggling European countries
such as Italy and Portugal.
This seems to set aside the worries
that there would be a massive contagion
over there that would have brought
everything down with it, said Mark
Lamkin, head of Lamkin Wealth
Management.
The Dow Jones industrial average
soared 339.51 points, or 2.9 percent, to
12,208.55. That was its largest jump
since Aug. 11, when it rose 423.
All 30 stocks in the Dow rose, led by
Bank of America Corp. with a 9.6 per-
cent gain.

Gilead said its net income grew to

from $704.9 million, or 83 cents per
share. Excluding one-time charges the
company said it earned $1.02 per share.
Revenue rose 10 percent, to $2.12 bil-

Gilead 3Q net grows 5 percent
By Ryan Nakashima
LOS ANGELES Video game
maker Electronic Arts Inc. said
Thursday that its second-quarter loss
expanded from a year ago due to higher
costs, even as revenue grew.
It raised its sales forecast for the all-
important holiday season slightly above
analyst estimates. CEO John Riccitiello
said sales of Battlefield 3, which
launched two days earlier, were very
strong.
The net loss in the three-month period
ending on Sept. 30 grew to $340 million,
or $1.03 per share. Last year, the compa-
ny had a quarterly loss of $201 million,
or 61 cents per share. EA said costs for
marketing, research and development
increased from last year.
Excluding stock compensation costs,
acquisition expenses and other costs,
adjusted earnings came to 5 cents per
share, beating the adjusted loss of 4
cents per share expected by analysts
polled by FactSet.
Adjusted revenue, which accounts for
deferred revenue from games with
online components, rose 17 percent to
$1.03 billion from $884 million, helped
by sales of its sports games FIFA 12
and Madden NFL 12. That also beat
the $955 million expected by analysts.
Our results reected a tremendous
performance by our EA Sports titles and
a strong showing on a new game on the
Facebook platform, The Sims Social,
Riccitiello said on a conference call with
analysts. Were now focused on our
biggest title for the holiday.
The company said it expects adjusted
revenue in the current quarter through
December of $1.55 billion to $1.65 bil-
lion, with the midpoint slightly higher
than the $1.59 billion expected by ana-
lysts.
EA lifted the bottom end of its full-
year adjusted earnings. It now expects a
range of 75 cents to 90 cents, instead of
70 cents at the low end. Analysts were
already expecting 89 cents.
The results didnt satisfy investors
after a broad rally by stocks Thursday.
Shares in the Redwood, Calif.-based
company were down 80 cents, or 3.3
percent, at $23.50 in after-hours trading
after closing up 11 cents at $24.50 in the
regular session.

Higher oil prices have masked a slow-
down in production among the biggest
oil companies.
Exxon Mobil, Royal Dutch Shell and
BP reported a surge in quarterly prots
this week even though theyre producing
less oil from elds around the world,
including a combined 7 percent decline
in the third quarter that just ended. Each
company has devoted billions of dollars
to nding new petroleum deposits, but it
could be years, even decades, before
those investments translate to more oil
and natural gas.
Experts say smaller companies will
need to step up to satisfy growing world
demand. China, India and other develop-
ing nations are expected to push the
global appetite for oil to a record 90 mil-
lion barrels per day next year, enough to
outstrip supplies.
Three years ago, a severe drop in oil
supplies helped push oil prices to above
$147 per barrel, saddling airlines and
shipping companies with high fuel costs.
Gasoline prices soared above a national
average $4 per gallon.
Were not at the point where oil prices
are going to go bananas and spike like
they did in 2008, said Ken Medlock, an
energy expert at Rice University.

ALL BUT OVER: WITH ONE WEEK TO PLAY, M-A VOLLEYBALL ALL BUT WRAPS UP BAY TITLE WITH SWEEP OF CARLMONT >>> PAGE 12
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
As a football team, there isnt a
better place to be than in the drivers
seat. And Friday night, the two
teams at the top of the Peninsula
Athletic League Lake Division nd
themselves in a position to grab the
proverbial steering wheel and drive
straight into the Central Coast
Section playoffs.
When youre Carlmont and
Capuchino, battling for that lone
CCS playoff berth, that is an awe-
some thing.
Its all at stake for Cap too, said
Carlmont coach Jason Selli. I think
for Cap, this is their championship
game as well. So, like I told you
guys last week, every game is a big
game. Its huge for Cap and theyre
doing very awesome this year.
Carlmont comes into the contest
3-0 in league play, following a pre-
season where they went winless and
had many doubters relegating them
to the bottom of the division with-
out ever taking the eld. The same
can be said about Capuchino, who
is 2-0 behind a couple of mega-
ultra-Godzilla-like games by run-
ning back Justin Ewing.
Thats the beauty of high school
football, Selli said. I mean, that
you can keep coaching, you keep
pushing forward, you have to go
through your daily grind no matter
what your preseason schedule is and
just try to keep getting better.
Hopefully you put yourself in a
position where the kids are having a
good time and youre competitive
and you get games like this which
are exciting.

Sacred Heart Prep (2-1 PAL Bay,
6-1 overall) at Menlo-Atherton (3-
0, 5-2), 7 p.m.
The Gators are coming off a
tough 21-20 win over Kings
Academy last week. The Bears
topped Jefferson 21-7. Sacred
Heart Prep has beaten M-A the last
two years 28-24 last year and 48-
14 in 2009. Last week was the
second in a row in which Sacred
Heart Prep squeezed by an oppo-
nent for a win. In their last two
games against Burlingame and
Kings Academy the Gators have
won by a combined four points.
After averaging 31.6 points in their
rst ve games, the Gators are aver-
aging 19.5 in their last two.
Since throwing for a combined 598
yards in back-to-back games, SHP
QB Jack Larson has combined for
just 128 yards passing in his last
two games. Conversely, the
Gators ground attack has re-found
its groove, rushing for a season-high
309 yards last week. M-A rushed
for 270 yards and three TDs in its
win last week, led by Taylor
Mashacks 135 yards and two
scores on just 12 carries. A Bears
win tonight would setup a show-
down for the Bay Division title
against Terra Nova next week.
While the M-A offense gets a lot of
the praise, its the Bears defense
that is shutting down opponents.
They have the Bay Divisions best,
allowing just over 13 points in
league play and under 17 points for
the season. The Bears are riding
a four-game winning streak.
Burlingame (0-3 PAL Bay,2-5 over-
all) at Jefferson (0-2,1-6),7 p.m.
The Panthers suffered their sec-
ond-straight heartbreaking loss,
dropping a 35-28 decision to divi-
sion-leading Terra Nova last week.
The Indians kept M-A defense in
check most of the game, but didnt
have enough offense, falling 21-7.
The time is now for both these
squads. The Bay Divisions fourth
automatic CCS berth is up for grabs
and the winner of this game will
have the inside track to capturing it.
Burlingame rushed for 309 yards
last week. The Panthers trailed

homered to lead off the bottom of
the 11th inning, and the St. Louis
Cardinals forced the World Series to
a Game 7 by rallying from two-run
decits against the Texas Rangers in
the 9th and 10th on Thursday night.
Freese hit a
two-run triple
just over a leap-
ing Nelson
Cruz to tie the
score 7-7 in the
ninth inning
against Neftali
Feliz. Then,
after Josh
Hamilton put
Texas ahead with a two-run homer
in the 10th off Jason Motte, Ryan
Theriot hit an RBI groundout in the
bottom half and Lance Berkman
tied it 9-9 with a single.
Freeses shot to center came off
Mark Lowe.
Game 7 is Thursday night.
Texas had built a 7-4 lead in the
seventh when Adrian Beltre and
Nelson Cruz hit consecutive home
runs off Lance Lynn, and Ian
Kinsler added an RBI single off
Octavio Dotel.
Allen Craigs second homer of
the Series cut the gap in the eighth
against Derek Holland.
In the ninth, Albert Pujols dou-
bled with one out off Feliz and
Berkman walked on four pitches.
Craig took a called third strike,
and Freese fell behind in the count
1-2. He sliced an opposite-field
drive, and when Cruz jumped, the
crowd of 47,315 at Busch Stadium
couldnt tell at first whether he
caught it.
Feliz then retired Yadier Molina
on a yout to right, sending the
game to extra innings.
With Texas ahead 3-2 in the
Series and one win from its rst
title, the Rangers also wasted 1-0, 3-
2 and 4-3 leads. The Cardinals made
three errors in a Series game for the
rst time since 1943, and Rangers
rst baseman Michael Young made
two, with each team allowing two
unearned runs.
Matt Holliday was picked off in
the sixth at third base by catcher
Mike Napoli, thwarting the
Cardinals attempt to go ahead, and
he had to leave the game because of
a bruised right pinkie.
Hamiltons RBI single had put the
Rangers ahead in the rst off Jaime
Garcia, Berkmans two-run homer
gave the Cardinals the lead in the
bottom half and Kinslers run-scor-

LOS ANGELES The name on
the back of Jerry Rice Jr.s UCLA
jersey is an awfully heavy thing for a
walk-on receiver to carry on his
shoulders.
The Bruins are grateful it hasnt
slowed him down at all, because its
time to see what the son of the NFLs
greatest receiver can do.
After nearly
three years on
the practice
squad doing the
grunt work
expected from
any walk-on,
Rice is expected
to play in the
Rose Bowl for
the rst time on
Saturday when the Bruins host
California.
Ive been pretty mentally pre-
pared for a long time, Rice said
after ditching his practice-squad
gear and wearing his own jersey
No. 88, not his dads famed No. 80
during practice this week.
I know the playbook a lot, but its
going to be different, Rice said. I
know when it gets closer to the
game, Im going to get more anx-
ious, more excited, more nervous, all
those things will come up, so I make
sure to keep level-minded and be
ready for anything.
Rices opportunity arose after four
top UCLA receivers Taylor
Embree, Randall Carroll, Shaquelle
Evans and Ricky Marvray were
suspended by the Pac-12 for partici-
pating in a brawl last week at
Arizona. The Bruins roster is envi-
ably deep with receivers, but the sus-
pensions put Rice onto the depth
chart right behind starters Nelson
Rosario and Josh Smith.
Jerry has a golden opportunity,
UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel said.
Jerry Rice Jr. has done everything
weve ever asked him to. He just
needed an opportunity, and now hes
got one. Hell play every play if we
ask him to.
Rice has been hard at work to earn
this opportunity ever since arriving
at UCLA in 2009. His coaches and
teammates say he has none of the
attitude or entitlement that might be
expected from the namesake of the
San Francisco 49ers Hall of Famer,
and his talent has grown to the point
that he earned a scholarship for next
year.
If you didnt know his name was
Jerry Rice, you wouldnt know he
was his son, UCLA quarterback
Kevin Prince said. Hes just a real-
ly cool guy, a great teammate.
Obviously, when your dad is the best
receiver to ever play, youre going to
know the position, and youre going
to know how to play. ... Hes got
good hands and good route-running
skills. I think hell t in just ne. He
doesnt have quite the speed that
Randall has. He doesnt use his body
like Taylor does, but he has the abil-
ity to catch the ball and get open.
Rice Jr. will get

For a team that was 11-0 heading
into the leagues nal three games
of the season, the Menlo-Atherton
girls volleyball team knew there was
still some things it needed to work
on.
So the Bears reminded themselves
of that.
Heading into Game 3 of their
match up against Carlmont, the
Bears broke their huddle by yelling,
nish.
A large part of volleyball is
momentum, said M-A coach Jen
Wilson. And last year, our team
struggled with being able to nish
and being able to execute. And this
year, that has been one of our big
focuses, really knowing how to n-
ish the last ve points of a game. We
needed to focus, not let it slide and
not play sloppy just because we
have a lead playing at a high
level all the time.
For the 2011 season, the Bears
appear to be a playing a level above
the league competition. Thursday,
they had a second--place, one-loss
Carlmont team on their schedule
and, with the exception of Game 1,
made it look relatively easy, defeat-
ing the Scots 25-23, 25-13, 25-20.
The win for the Bears moves them
a clear two games ahead of the Scots
with only two games left in the reg-
ular season.
The last few practices, weve
really worked on staying com-
posed, Wilson said. And really
stepping up in situations where its a
big game and we really need to
come out and play hard. Weve also
been working on, as a team, being
more aggressive. Not necessarily
aggressive hitting, but being aggres-
sive just in our attitude really try-
ing to be strategic with every play.
Theyre playing smarter, theyre
seeing the court, theyre adapting
and making changes during the
match like they need to do. Its help-
ing us a lot.
A focused and determined Bears
team is a dangerous one. They
appeared to start Game 1 that way,
managing a ve-point lead through-
out. But M-A hit a snag that almost
cost them the game. Down 20-14,
Carlmont caught re and changed
all they way back, eventually earn-
ing a 22-20 advantage. It took an Ali
Spindt kill to restore order, and
some hitting errors down the stretch
by Carlmont cost them the game
and the momentum.
I thought all three games were
the same, said Carlmont coach
Chris Crader. We played really
well in stretches, and we played
really poorly in stretches. And in the
rst game, our really well stretch
was a little longer and they didnt
play well in a stretch there. Overall,
I didnt prepare us well enough to
do what we needed to do.
After taking Game 1, the Bears
took control from the get-go in
Game 2 and didnt let go. They built
a 4-0 lead behind the play of Sarah
Collins. Sarah Altman and Pauli
King had huge kills in the middle of
that game which the Bears won
comfortably 25-13. King led the
Bears with four kills in the frame.
In their rst match up this season,
Carlmonts Shelby Vance led all
players with 20 kills. In Thursdays
showdown, it appeared the M-A
defense keyed on the Scots star out-
side hitter.
Shes a great player all the way
around, Wilson said. She can hit
from the back row, she can pass
well. So we just tried to overload
her. We tried to serve to her so she
had to think about passing before
they had to think about hitting. We
really tried to have our blockers
focused on her, penetrate the net and
just get in front of her and take her
out of the game.
The strategy worked, with Vance
getting her numbers (12 kills), but
not taking over the game like she is
known to do.
Game 3 was a little closer, but
only for a bit, with M-A maintaining
a seven-point lead through much of
the game before winning it 25-20
and sweeping the match.
M-A sweeps Scots
Last year, our team struggled with being able to
nish and being able to execute. And this year,
that has been one of our big focuses, really
knowing how to nish the last ve points of a game.

For the Scots and the Mustangs, they dont
get much more exciting than Fridays game.
They Daily Journal Game of the Week kicks
off at 3 p.m. today at Carlmont.
Carlmont has found success in the regular
season by playing some stout defense. In three
games against San Mateo, Mills and
Hillsdale, the Scots have held their opponents
to an average of 13 points per game. In their
four preseason losses, that number was 33.
Theyll have their hands full on defense this
week, trying to contain running back Justin
Ewing, who in two PAL regular season games
has averaged 42 carries, 299 yards and three
touchdowns.
They have one hell of running back, Selli
said. Hes an awesome kid. Obviously, we
want to do whatever we can to stop him and
their passing offense.
Watching him on lm, I feel hes the best
back weve faced in the league, maybe even
all year to be quite honest, he said. Hes a
positive back. What I mean by that is, if you
watch him, it doesnt matter if one yard or two
yards or three yards, he just keeps grinding it
out every single play the same. His attitude is
great. He nishes every run off all the way and
he have to commend a kid like that. Thats
whats making them so great right now.
But the Scots have done a commendable job
in stopping some great Lake Division backs
already. In San Mateos Michael Latu, the
Scots held him to only 40 yards rushing. And
the Scots put a cap on the high-powered
Hillsdale offense just a week ago.
Some of that recent defensive success can
be credited to the play of Joe Lasala, a two-
way player for Carlmont who most recently
has stepped his game up on defense. But that
is direct correlation to the rushing success of
guys like Marquise Harris and Mark Concilla,
who have taken the load off Lasala on offense.
I think its great having him fresh on
defense, Selli said of No. 44. I think it also
has to do with football shape. He was off last
year and didnt play. He worked hard in the
offseason. And hell be the rst to admit he
wasnt in football shape, ready to take on a
two-way role. He plays hard every single play.
He never takes a play off.
Both teams will try to impose their will run-
ning the football Friday afternoon. While
Ewing will get the bulk of the load for Cap,
Carlmonts approach is more about spreading
the wealth.
Its going to play itself out, Selli said.
You never really know whats going to hap-
pen when the game starts, so you just kind of
go with it.
The play on the eld may be unpredictable,
but the magnitude of this game isnt in ques-
tion. If Carlmont wins, they have a loss to give
with a tough match-up against an El Camino
team who could possibly come in with only
one loss the following week. If Capuchino
wins, two games await, one against Hillsdale
and the other against Mills who is struggling
to stay healthy and hasnt won a league game.
They understand the importance of it,
Selli said of his team. Weve talked about it
in our preparation for this week. Weve spent
a lot of time looking at what are all the posi-
tives about Capuchino. You dont have to say
too much to get your guys focused on the
importance of the game when you see a qual-
ity opponent like Capuchino, a well-coached
opponent. I told the guys theyre coming in
ready to rock and roll and they have a back to
do it. Our guys are excited, and they feel good
about the team, but were denitely not over
condent.

three straight walks, including two

Just 24 of the 61 previous teams

35-14 outscored the Tigers 14-0 in the fourth
quarter to put a scare into Terra Nova.
Jefferson was held to just 14 yards rushing,
but QB Marcel Evans threw for 250 and the
Indians only touchdown. The Indians have
he worst scoring offense in the Bay Division.
In league games, they are averaging less than
nine points per game. Their overall mark isnt
much better, averaging right around 14 points
per game for the season.
Menlo School (1-2 PAL Ocean,5-2 overall)
at Aragon (2-1, 6-1), 7 p.m.
The Knights earned their rst Ocean win of
the season last week, downing Sequoia 42-28.
The Dons won their second straight divi-
sion game last week, a 35-20 win over
Woodside. Menlos sophomore QB Jack
Heneghan continues to impress. He threw for
over 360 yards and four TDs in last weeks
win. The 42 points scored was a season
high for the Knights, which has scored a com-
bined 42 in their previous two games both
losses. Aragon continues to have the best
ground attack this side of Serra. Last week,
the Dons rushed for 323 yards, led by Victor
Jimenezs 105 yards and three TDs on 21 car-
ries. Aragons 35 points was its second-
largest output of the season, behind a season-
opening 50 the Dons hung on San Mateo.
Since Ocean Division play started, the Dons
are scoring an average of 31 points while
allowing 24.
Sequoia (1-2 PAL Ocean,4-3 overall) at Half
Moon Bay (3-0, 4-3), 7 p.m.
The Cherokees suffered a debilitating 42-28
loss to Menlo last week. The Cougars won
a wild 22-19 decision over South City.
Since opening Ocean play with a 32-28 win
over Aragon, Sequoia has dropped two
straight and three of its last four. The
Cherokees racked up over 300 yards on the
ground last week, led by Josh Laueses 209
yards on just 18 carries. He had scoring runs
of 20 and 73 yards. The Sequoia defense
has given up 42 points the last two weeks, its
worst performances of the season. Half
Moon Bay was, once again, led by Wes
Walters on both offense and defense. He
rushed for 174 yards and three TDs, but also
broke up a potential game-winning pass in the
end zone on the nal play of the game. It was
the second week in a row the Cougars needed
to make a nal defensive stand to secure the
win.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Kings Academy (0-2 PAL Bay, 3-4 overall)
at Terra Nova (3-0, 5-2), 7 p.m.
The Knights came up just short against
Sacred Heart Prep last week, falling 21-20.
The Tigers got past Burlingame, 35-28.
Kings Academy decided to roll the dice and
go for a 2-point conversion against the Gators
last week and lost the gamble. Knights RB
Booker Robinson rushed for a team-high 142
yards on 15 carries and also caught the TD
pass that got his team within a point with
under two minutes to play. In their nal
two non-league games before division play
started, the Knights scored a combined 102
points, both wins. In their last two games
both losses the Knights have scored a total
of 41 points. No one on the Terra Nova side
believed the Tigers played all too well in their
win over Burlingame, despite putting up 35
points. Senior QB Chris Forbes threw for
only 199 yards last week. He did rush for
four TDs, however. According to the teams
that report their stats to MaxPreps.com,
Forbes leads CCS in passing with over 2,000
yards.
Woodside (1-2 PAL Ocean, 4-2-1 overall)
at South City (1-2, 5-2), 7 p.m.
The Wildcats dropped a 35-20 decision to
Aragon last week. The Warriors suffered a
gut wrenching 22-19 defeat to Half Moon
Bay. Woodside was without ve starters in
their loss last week. QB Ricki Hoffer and
WR Byron Castillo did their best to pick up
the slack. Castillo, arguably one of the fastest
players in the PAL, nished with six catches
for 136 yards and two TDs. Hoffer was 16 for
30 for 269 yards. He threw the two scoring
passes to Castillo and rushed for another.
South City racked up 438 yards of total
offense, but once again, found it tough to
punch it into the end zone. The Warriors,
after opening the season with ve straight
wins, have now dropped two in a row. After
averaging 30 points per game in their rst ve
wins, the Warriors have averaged just over 20
points in their two losses.
Hillsdale (1-2 PAL Lake, 2-5 overall) at
Mills (0-2, 1-6), 3 p.m.
The Knights lost to undefeated Carlmont
35-21 last week. The Vikings were drilled
by El Camino, 41-14. After tying the score
at 7, Hillsdale gave up three straight scores
and trailed Carlmont 28-7 at halftime. The
Knights managed only 223 yards of total
offense, with QB Yannis Tsagarakis throwing
for 157 yards and a TD. Mills QB Harshal
Lal returned to the lineup, after missing sever-
al weeks with an injury, and threw two late TD
passes. He threw for 76 yards 75 of which
came on the two scoring plays.
San Mateo (0-3 PAL Lake, 0-6-1 overall) at
El Camino (2-1, 4-3), 3 p.m.
The Bearcats were outscored in a 41-32 loss
to Capuchino. The Colts ran over Mills last
week, 41-14. This game could turn into an
offensive shootout. San Mateo rolled up
502 yards of total offense last week, with QB
Trevor Brill throwing for 401 yards and ve
TDs. WR Andrew Ho had a monster game,
catching 10 passes for 226 yards and four
touchdowns. In three of their last four
games, the Bearcats have scored 46, 33 and 32
points. In those games, theyve allowed 54, 42
and 41. El Camino RB D.J. Peluso ran
roughshod over Mills last week, rolling to 214
yards rushing and scoring ve TDs. The 41
points scored was a season high for the Colts.
Tigers can clinch at least co-title with win

Fans to be checked by
metal detectors at NFL games
NEW YORK Security personnel at NFL
games will begin using hand-held metal detec-
tors as part of the screening process before
fans enter the stadiums.
Beginning Nov. 20, the detectors will be
used at stadium gates because we are always
striving for ways to improve our security pro-
cedures at all of our stadiums, an NFL
spokesman says.
The Green Bay Packers and Cleveland
Browns already have used them this season.
The league has done so at every Super Bowl
since 2002 in New Orleans.
In addition to fans, media and working per-
sonnel will be subject to the screenings, which
will be phased in so they will not necessarily
be immediately used at every gate, the
spokesman adds.

Smallest Scion ever debuts iQ minicompact
By Ann M. Job
Where is the rest of the car?
Just about everyone asked this question
when they saw Scions newest car, the iQ.
New for 2012, the three-door Scion iQ
hatchback is 10 feet long from bumper to
bumper thats almost 2 feet shorter than a
Fiat 500 and has a rear end that seems
abruptly cut off aft of the rear wheels.
Classied as a minicompact and weighing
only 2,172 pounds with a 94-horsepower
engine, the iQ also is the top gasoline-pow-
ered, non-hybrid, 2012 small car in federal
government fuel economy rankings.
Specically, the iQ, which comes with a
continuously variable transmission, is rated at
36 miles per gallon in city driving and 37 mpg
on the highway.
And while the iQ interior is rather Spartan,
add-on accessories galore promise imagina-
tive customizing of this little car by young,
urban hipsters.
Starting manufacturers suggested retail
price, including destination charge, for the
2012 iQ is $15,995.
This is $820 more than the starting retail
price for a 2012 Honda Fit and $300 less than
the starting retail price for a 2012 Ford Fiesta

hatchback. Both competitors are larger than
the iQ, provide more space for cargo and rear-
seat passengers, offer more than one transmis-
sion and have more powerful engines.
Even the diminutive and arguably cuter
2012 Fiat 500 hatchback, with $16,000 start-
ing retail price, is bigger in interior volume
and has a more powerful engine than the iQ.
The rst new Scion model since 2004, the
iQ is new to the United States. But Toyota has
sold it for years overseas where extremely
small cars are popular and the iQ blends in.
Still, on American roads, amidst pickup
trucks and sport utility vehicles, the iQ is an
anomaly.
I drove it defensively, because the rst few
times on the road, other drivers cut me off,
and I wasnt sure they saw the iQ coming up
in the lane next to them.
Even knowing the iQ comes standard with
11 air bags one is the worlds rst rear win-
dow air bag and meets U.S. crash require-
ments, I remained aware that the iQ was light-
weight. It can be buffeted by winds on stormy
days, and theres not a lot of sound insulation,
so I could hear noisy trucks and motorcycles
as they approached, even with all the windows
of the test iQ closed.
Theres an odd sensation sitting behind the
wheel because theres so little of the iQ
behind the drivers seat, I sometimes felt like
I was following the front of the car around the
turns.
The iQ needs only 12.9 feet to do a U-turn.
In making my rst U-turn in the iQ, I was so
used to needing to turn more, I nearly did a
donut instead of a U-turn. But I easily
turned around on narrow city streets to nab
parking spaces.
Wider and longer than the Smart cars but
similar in overall shape, the iQ is perfect for
slipping effortlessly into tiny parking spots in
the city that bigger vehicles cant claim.
Anyone with a small garage at home will love
the way the iQ ts inside. In my traditional
two-car garage, I gure I could t four iQs.
But the get up and go of the iQ powertrain
can be disappointing, and most small cars in
this country have at least 100 horsepower.
In contrast, the iQs 1.3-liter, double over-
head cam four cylinder puts out 94, and it can
sound like its straining at 55 miles an hour,
especially if the highway has some elevation
changes.
Some of this is the transmission, which
seeks to maximize fuel economy by operating
in the optimal gear range for the load and
speed of the car. It sent droning sounds to the
test car interior.
Torque in the iQ peaks at 89 foot-pounds at
4,400 rpm, so the car doesnt feel sporty even
in city driving. In comparison, the Honda Fits
1.4-liter four cylinder puts out 117 horsepow-
er and 108 foot-pounds of torque, while the
Ford Fiestas 1.6-liter four cylinder generates
120 horses and 112 foot-pounds of torque.
My mileage was 75 percent city travel and
25 percent highway. And I averaged between
29.5 mpg and 31.7 mpg. With a fuel tank
holding 8.5 gallons, this meant my driving
range was just over 300 miles.
Surprisingly, standard wheels and tires on
the iQ are larger than expected 16-inchers.
Because they are positioned at the outermost
corners of the car and the iQ is relatively
wide, the car has a more stable feel than you
might anticipate.
Theres no room for a spare tire in the iQ.
The car comes with a tire repair kit, instead.
I liked that the electric power steering in the
test car responded quickly.
But rear seats seemed imsy and are space-
constrained, and rear-passenger head
restraints are positioned very close to the back
window.
Cargo space totals 3.5 cubic feet behind the
rear seats about enough for a thin briefcase
and purse. Cargo space expands to 16.7 cubic
feet with rear seats folded down.
In the test car, there were no hooks to help
hold bags back there in place, the center con-
sole didnt have covered storage, and the inte-
rior had a liberal amount of hard plastic trim.
Theres also no glovebox. Instead, a tray is
under the front passenger seat, which is slight-
ly offset to be able to be moved closer to the
windshield than the drivers seat so one of the
two rear passengers can get more legroom.

WEEKEND JOURNAL 19
By Susan Cohn
DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
SPLENDID MAHARAJA. A diamond as
big as an ice cube. A ruby like a strawberry.
An emerald the size of an olive. The word
maharaja evokes an image of a bejeweled
and turbaned ruler, whose authority is
absolute, whose wealth is immense, who
indulges in a lavish lifestyle. The word
maharaja conjures up images of spectacle.
But that is only a part of the picture. The
Asian Art Museums Maharaja: The
Splendor of Indias Royal Courts explores
the extraordinary culture of princely India,
showcasing rich and varied objects that
reect different aspects of royal life.
Although Hindu and Muslim rulers were
also known by other titles, including maha-
rana, maharao, nawab and nizam, the word
maharaja, which means great king, came to
be used as a generic term to describe all of
Indias kings. The heyday of the maharajas
began after the collapse of the Mughal
Empire in the early 18th century. The exhibi-
tion opens with this period of chaos and
adventure and closes with the end of British
rule in 1947, when the Indian princes terri-
tories were incorporated into the modern
states of India and Pakistan.
Jay Xu, Director of the Asian Art Museum,
said, Maharaja reveals the extraordinary
culture of Indias kings. It showcases differ-
ent aspects of royal life through rich and var-
ied objects from India and the West. With
lavish artistry and exquisite craftsmanship,
each object in the exhibition tells a story
within a broader historical context of royal
life and ideals, patronage, alliances and court
culture.
On display are 200 important Indian and
Western works, featuring paintings, photog-
raphy, textiles and dresses, jewelry, jeweled
objects, metalwork and furniture, all pertain-
ing to the intriguing world of Indias rulers
over three centuries. Outstanding among the
items on display are the Patiala necklace
designed by Cartier, which originally con-
tained 2,930 diamonds, including the yellow
234.69 carat DeBeers diamond; the famed
throne of the Sikh ruler Maharaja Ranjit
Singh; and a horse drawn carriage decorated
entirely in silver, made for the Maharaja of
Bhavnagar in 1915. These sensational works
explore the broader historical context of
princely life and ideals, patronage, court cul-
ture and alliances.

NEW YORK Herbie Hancock was
a music video trailblazer: In 1984, he
garnered ve trophies at the rst MTV
Video Music Awards for his Rockit
video, which featured robot-like sculp-
tures moving in sync with the songs
turntable scratching.
Now more than 25 years later, hes
experimenting with a new technique for
making a music video.
On Wednesday night, cameras were
handed out to 25 photographers pro-
fessionals and hobbyists alike who
shot continuously as Hancock per-
formed his funky Chameleon on the
keytar, a synthesizer keyboard that he
straps over his shoulder like a guitar.
Were doing something really spe-
cial, said Hancock in an interview
before performing a brief set with his
quartet before invited guests. What
theyre going to do is make a ip book
(of photographs) thats going to sync to
the music.
Its like the audi-
ence is going to make
the music video.
Thats why its
crowd-sourced.
The 71-year-old
Hancock made the
video, due to be
released in early
December as part of
a Canon promotional
campaign, during a
break from his rst U.S. solo tour with-
out any other musicians accompanying
him on stage. Hancock did a brief
European tour in the 80s playing solo
acoustic piano, but this time hes rein-
venting the solo concept with all kinds
of high-tech gadgetry.
Im able to have both the acoustic
piano and a synthesizer and my iMac
computer, said Hancock, who studied
electrical engineering in college. Im
actually using some devices that right
now are really on the cutting edge. I have
a controller board with buttons, knobs,
faders and sliders in order to manipulate
some sound clips.
Its been working out really well
because it has freed me up to be my own
drummer and bass player. ... Im not
bound by keeping a particular rhythm or
a particular time sequence, he said. I
have the capability of being much more
cinematic with a live performance.
Hancock is closing out his fall tour
next month with three concerts in
Calgary, Alberta; Portland, Ore., and
Seattle, at which he will be performing
Rhapsody In Blue on acoustic piano
with a symphony orchestra. The inspira-
tion came after he performed a portion
of the George Gershwin masterpiece
with classical pianist Lang Lang at the
2008 Grammy Awards, where he also
surprisingly won album of the year hon-
ors for River: The Joni Letters.
I determined that its time for me to
go back to my roots of classical music
and to explore that now in my adult life
as a professional musician, said
Hancock, a child prodigy who per-
formed a Mozart piano concerto with the
Chicago Symphony Orchestra at age 11.

PINHAO, Portugal When
Dominic Symington looks out from
his shady hillside garden across the
vineyards of Portugals majestic
Douro Valley, he sees centuries of
family and European history.
British families like the
Symingtons have been at the heart of
this northern Portuguese regions
port wine trade for generations.
Dominic Symington, one of seven in
the family wine business, has an
ancestor Walter Maynard who
shipped port to Britain in 1652.
Port, Symington says in an impec-
cable British accent, is a way of
life for his family and tens of thou-
sands of farmers along the River
Douro.
The syrupy after-dinner drink has
long been a hallmark European prod-
uct, like Parma ham, Greek feta or
French champagne. The business has
withstood foreign and domestic
wars, economic depressions and a
19th-century plant blight that wiped
out many of the continents vine-
yards.
The 21st century is no less chal-
lenging. Shifting consumer fashions
and nancial crises in places where
port has always sold well have
crunched earnings and cast a cloud
over the trades future. That is forc-
ing producers to step outside their
comfort zone and explore distant
new markets.
After a decade of slow but steady
decline, annual revenue last year was
(euro) 44 million lower than in 2000,
at (euro) 370 million, and 12 million
fewer bottles were sold compared to
that year, according to the
Association of Port Wine
Companies, an industry group.
The trade is clearly going through
a difcult time, said the 55-year-old
Symington, who describes himself
as Portuguese born and bred.
Port producers are trying to put the
brakes on their slide, and some 100
kilometers (60 miles) down river
from Symingtons riverside house at
Pinhao theres a glimpse of where
part of the solution could lie.
By the docks in Gaia, where the
Douro meets the Atlantic and where
sailing ships once departed heavy
with wine barrels, two dozen middle-
aged Brazilian tourists chatter
delightedly at a port tasting. They
have just been on a tour of a port
lodge a warehouse containing
thick 19th-century ledgers tidily kept
with quill pens and where wine slow-
ly matures in aged vats made of oak,
mahogany and chestnut.
Aparecida Gilioli, a tour operator
from Curitiba in Parana state, reck-
ons the social aspirations of booming
Brazils swelling middle class will
broaden the market there for top-
drawer goods like port.
Its a sophisticated drink. Its
chic, she said.
Buckingham Palace usually serves
port at state banquets, and it was on
the menu when Queen Elizabeth II
hosted President Barack Obama in
May. That kind of patronage lends
port distinction.
Part of the trades problem is that
about 80 percent of production has
traditionally been swallowed up by
ve main markets France, the
Netherlands, Portugal, Belgium and
the United States. Britain, the his-
toric main market for port, ranks
sixth these days.
The worst nancial crisis in living
memory has helped squash sales in
those countries. For many con-
sumers, port is a luxury they can do
without. Added to that, lifestyle
changes have to some degree made
the high-calorie drink unfashionable
as consumers watch their waistline.
In the last century Symington
Family Estates exported port to
around 20 countries. Now, its selling
in more than 80. The new destina-
tions include cash-rich emerging
markets where the producers are
coaxing Brazilians, Russians,
Chinese and Angolans to put port on
their table.
The signs are promising. Port wine
sales to Brazil rose more than 31 per-
cent in the rst half of this year, to
(euro) 2.4 million, making it a Top
10 importer. Its not enough to take
up the slack, though.
Producers are also pushing port in
gimmicky new cocktails, such as
white port with tonic water, a twist of
lemon and ice, that might appeal to a
younger crowd. Its a novelty the
trades forebears might have found
sacrilegious.
Symington, though, says its an
inevitable development. Porto has
long banked on its prestige and aris-
tocratic conventions, such as always
passing the port to the left at formal
dinner parties, but now it needs to shed
its stuffy image, he says.
We have to de-formalize port, said
Symington.
British exporters built up the local
wine trade after Britain went to war
with France in 1678, losing access to
French wines. The story goes that the
British added grape brandy to the
Douro wine to prevent it spoiling at
sea. That made it 20 percent proof
almost twice as potent as table wine
and especially sweet by halting fer-
mentation while the wine is still fruity.
Port has also drawn distinction from
its upmarket price.
The lower-grade ports, called ruby,
tawny and late-bottled vintage, usual-
ly carry a price tag of around (euro)
10-25 ($14-$35).
A vintage port, so called because
it came from a grape harvest that was
exceptionally good, carries a heftier
charge. The vintage is the Rolls-Royce
of port wines, and something like the
Symingtons prize-winning 2007
version costs around (euro) 100
($140). Port gets better with age, and
its price climbs with the years. The
legendary 1963 vintage the one
served to President Obama comes
in at around (euro) 300 ($415).
Taylors Scion, from 1855, goes for
around (euro) 2,500 ($3,475) a bot-
tle.
The Douro Valley is one of
Europes smartest addresses for wine
and one of the worlds oldest demar-
cated wine regions, dating from a
1756 law.
Its steep slopes, slate terrain and
sunny summers provide ideal condi-
tions. Unique Portuguese grape vari-
eties such as Touriga Nacional, Tinta
Roriz, and Vinha Velha also set local
wines apart.
Port wine cherishes its past, looks for a future
For many consumers, port is a luxury they can do without.Added to that, lifestyle changes have to some degree
made the high-calorie drink unfashionable as consumers watch their waistline.

Depp stumbled on the manuscript a quarter-
century after.
Depp and Thompson, who died of a self-
inflicted gunshot wound in 2005, bonded
instantly at that first meeting in 1994, when
the actor was spending Christmas in Aspen,
Colo., near the authors home. A fan of
Thompsons since reading the gonzo journal-
ists Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas in his
late teens, Depp jumped at the chance when
a mutual friend asked if he wanted to meet
him.
Depp was told to turn up at the tavern at
midnight. Soon after, Thompson entered
brandishing his cattle prod and Taser.
People were hurling their bodies, leaping
out of the way to try and save themselves
from this maniac, Depp said in an interview.
Then he made his way to me. The sparks
had died down, he just walked right up to me
and put his hand out and said, How do you
do? My name is Hunter.
Thompson and Depp quickly discovered
they both were born in Kentucky and shared
many literary heroes, among them Ernest
Hemingway and Nathaniel West. Around
2:30 that morning, they were at Thompsons
house, where Depp admired a nickel-plated
shotgun on the wall.
Would you like to fire it? Depp recalled
Thompson saying. I said, Yeah. Great,
man. He says, All right, great. We must
build bombs. So we built bombs in his sink
out of propane tanks and nitroglycerin. Then
we took them out back and he said, All
right, you get first crack. So I leveled that
12-gauge and I blew it up 80-foot fireball.
I think that was my kind of rite of passage
with Hunter. I think that was my test that I
was OK.
Depp went on to play Thompsons alter
ego in the 1998 movie adaptation of Fear
and Loathing. While preparing for that role,
Depp spent time in the basement of
Thompsons home, sorting through boxes of
Fear and Loathing artifacts cherry
stems and cocktail napkins and all these
weird notations, and photographs of mon-
keys. Who knew what was in there? Depp
recalled.
Then he opened another box and found a
manuscript titled The Rum Diary in red
letters. He figured Thompson had not looked
at it since writing it decades earlier, the story
based on the authors experiences as a young
reporter in Puerto Rico.
Sitting cross-legged on the floor, Depp and
Thompson passed pages back and forth.
Within about half an hour, Depp had per-
suaded Thompson to publish the novel. In
return, Thompson insisted they should do a
film version.
They developed the project together for
years, and Depp became even more commit-
ted to bringing the story to the screen after
Thompson killed himself amid assorted mal-
adies and declining health.
Theres nothing more delightful than to
see an actor play a role that he puts every-
thing into, said Graham King, a producer on
The Rum Diary.
Im not saying he doesnt put everything
into every movie, but this was different. This
was something that was so close to his heart.
It wasnt a gig. It wasnt a job for him.
Johnny is Hunter in many ways. Hunter
set out to do something that no one else had
done before, and I feel like Johnny does that
in many things, said co-star Amber Heard.
Hes doing exactly what he wants to do, and
I think its wonderful and important to fight
to make projects that he feels have artistic
integrity.
A box-office risk early in his career for
oddball films that rarely made money, Depp
has been able to call his own shots in the
years since he became a Hollywood bread-
winner with hits such as the Pirates of the
Caribbean movies and Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory.
Still, it was a challenge to find backers for
The Rum Diary, which stars Depp as Paul
Kemp, a Thompson alter ego in his formative
years, arriving in San Juan as an aimless ten-
derfoot who encounters corrupt developers
despoiling an island paradise and discovers
his purpose to take on the bastards
wherever he finds them.
Aaron Eckhart co-stars as a slimy public
relations man whose girlfriend (Heard)
becomes Kemps object of lust. The cast also
includes Giovanni Ribisi, Richard Jenkins
and Michael Rispoli.
To write the screenplay and direct, Depp
and Thompson enlisted Bruce Robinson
(Withnail & I), a filmmaker who recog-
nized himself and Thompson as kindred spir-
its.
We were writing in the same vernacular, a
voice of comedic rage, Robinson said.
What are you going to have, a hand grenade
or a word? Hunter chose the word.
Though Thompson was gone, Depp made
him a spectral producer from beyond, insist-
ing there be a chair with Thompsons name
on the set, beside it an ashtray, a packet of
Dunhill cigarettes, a bottle of Chivas Regal
and a highball glass.
Each morning, Depp and Robinson would
pour a drink for Thompson.
Everybody was there for Johnny, and
Johnny was there for the love of the man,
Eckhart said. That was palpable on the set,
between Hunters chair and their sacrament
to him each day.
If Thompson were around to review his
performance, Depp figures he would come
up with some unbelievably witty, clever
remark that would just sort of chop me off at
the ankles. ... And then seconds later, he
would have praised it, I believe.
When I called him for Fear and
Loathing, I was scared that was the end of
our friendship, because I had played him, I
think, pretty close to the bone, Depp said. I
told him early on, If I do this right, you
might hate me forever. He said, Well its a
chance youve got to take, isnt it? So I did
it, but after Fear and Loathing, I called him
and I said, All right, you saw it? Do you hate
me?
And I think by me saying, Do you hate
me? he knew I was in pain. He couldnt
stand the idea of (messing) with me, and he
said, No, no, man. It was like an eerie trum-
pet call over a lost battlefield. I mean, that
just came out of his mouth on the telephone.
... It doesnt get better.
RUM
and Loathing in Las Vegas) has been trying
to adapt The Rum Diary to the screen.
The Rum Diary which is dedicated to
Thompson, who died in 2005 is essentially
a portrait of the Duke as a young journalist.
The stand-in for Thompson, the young novel-
ist-reporter Paul Kemp (Depp), is trying to
nd his way and his writing voice: Its the
birth of Gonzo.
Criminally exaggerated resume in hand,
Kemp has gone to Puerto Rico to try his hand
as a reporter. He lands a job at the San Juan
Star, whose editor-in-chief, Lotterman (the
excellent Richard Jenkins), is at his wits end
running a failing, diminishing daily. As he
interviews a hung-over Kemp, he quizzes him
on what kind of drinker he is, to which Kemp
deadpans that hes at the upper-end of
social.
Kemp is befriended by staff photographer
Sala (Michael Rispoli, in a deservedly big part
for him), a burly, genial newsman who is nev-
ertheless not once seen with a camera in hand.
Kemp moves into Salas dilapidated dump of
an apartment, which he shares with crime
reporter Moberg (Giovanni Ribisi), a horse-
voiced, over-drugged oddity who listens to
Hitler broadcasts and sets some kind of record
for caustic reporter-editor relations.
Kemp catches the attention of American
businessman Sanderson (Aaron Eckhart), a
smooth manipulator who is trying to push
through an enormous development of a near-
by, pristine island thats pushing locals out in
favor of American investors. Sanderson
recruits Kemp to spin the development favor-
ably in the Star.
This picture of American corruption of
Puerto Rico is one of the more compelling
aspects of The Rum Diary. A combative
atmosphere between poor locals and rich
Americans hangs in the air, as do the Navy
bombing tests on Vieques. Depp is again in
the Caribbean among pirates.
Sandersons slick, wealthy appeal is tempt-
ing to Kemp, who isnt nding the constrict-
ing Star to be an especially noble pursuit,
either. Even more alluring is Sandersons
beautiful ancie Chenault, played by Amber
Heard. Kemp immediately falls for her (Oh
God, why did she have to happen? he mutters
after meeting her) and its no wonder: Heard
is a stunning presence.
This builds slowly for Kemp into a moral
crisis and, nally, an artistic tipping-point. I
dont know how to write like me, he says, but
by the end of the film, its clear that
Kemp/Thompson has found his legs. The
guiding principle is a furious distrust of
authority (we glimpse him cursing Nixon),
and a key ingredient is hallucinogens (we also
get an early encounter with LSD).
You might expect a tribute such as this to be
sycophantic, but director Bruce Robinson
(famous for the brilliant cult lm Withnail &
I) keeps a realistic tone. Robinson, who also
wrote the screenplay adaptation, doesnt pres-
ent the cartoonish Thompson weve come to
expect. Its a refreshing, grounded view of the
writer.
Depp, at this point, would seem to not be
aging. This more low-key performance as a
Thompson alter-ego feels truer than the manic
derangement of Fear and Loathing, but the
role is also lacking yearning and real energy.
Thompson went on to nd his voice, but
The Rum Diary, entertaining and well-
intended, comes just shy of discovering its
own.
The Rum Diary, a FilmDistrict release, is
rated R for language, brief drug use and sexu-
ality. Running time: 120 minutes. Two and a
half stars out of four.

The beauty of Halloween treats is
that you dont have to worry about
making them pretty.
In fact, the uglier they are, the
better. And that was our inspiration
for this baked treat. We wanted a
bar that was appropriately loaded
with sugar (it is the high holiday of
sweets, after all) and looked as
though somebody had dragged it
through a swamp.
And so we came up with bog
bars, which start as a basic blondie-
like bar studded with dried cherries.
Then we smear melted chocolate
over the top and start dumping deli-
cious things all over them. The
gummy worms and pretzels are a
particularly nice touch, resembling
the snakes and twigs one surely
encounters during midnight swamp
strolls.
BOG BARS
Start to nish: 40 minutes (10
minutes active)
Servings: 16
2 cups dried cherries
1/2 cup apple or orange juice
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted
butter
2 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose our
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
16 chocolate sandwich cookies,
broken into large pieces, divided
12 ounces milk chocolate bits
2 honey graham crackers, broken
1/2 cup mini marshmallows
1/2 cup pretzel sticks (broken)
Handful gummie worms or bugs
2 green fruit roll-ups, torn into
pieces
Heat the oven to 350 F. Coat a 9-
by-13-inch pan with cooking spray.
In a microwave-safe dish, com-
bine the cherries and juice.
Microwave on high until bubbling,
about 1 minute. Set aside to cool.
In the bowl of an electric mixer,
cream together the butter and brown
sugar until uffy. Add the eggs, one
at a time, scraping the bowl
between additions. Stir in the vanil-
la. Add the our and salt and mix
just until combined. Drain the
reserved cherries, then add them
and half of the broken chocolate
cookies.
Spoon the mixture into the pre-
pared pan and bake for 25 to 30
minutes, or until golden and set.
While the bars are still hot, sprin-
kle the milk chocolate bits over the
surface. Allow to melt. Use the back
of a spoon to spread the melted
chocolate to cover the surface.
Sprinkle with the broken graham
crackers, marshmallows, pretzels,
gummie worms, the remaining
chocolate cookies and the pieces of
fruit roll-ups. Allow to cool.

We generally discourage cooking
with open wounds. Then again,
Halloween is the one time of year
nobody seems to mind a little blood
on their food.
So to get you in the mood for
gore, we created these grossly deli-
cious blood drop cookies. They are
quick, easy and perfectly disturbing.
BLOOD DROP COOKIES
Start to nish: 2 1/2 hours (20
minutes active)
Makes 3 dozen cookies
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
bits
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
2/3 cup granulated sugar
4 eggs
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose our
1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam
In a medium saucepan over low
heat, melt the chocolate bits and
butter, stirring constantly. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together
the brown sugar, granulated sugar
and eggs. Add the melted chocolate
and butter, then stir until smooth.
Stir in the baking powder, salt and
flour until completely smooth.
Refrigerate until completely chilled,
about 2 hours.
Heat the oven to 350 F. Line 2
baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop the dough by the table-
spoonful out onto the prepared bak-
ing sheets leaving 2 inches between
the cookies for spreading. Gently
press each ball of dough with the
palm of your hand to slightly atten
until about 1/2 inch thick.
Using your thumb or the handle of
a wooden spoon, create a dimple in
the center of each cookie. Add a tea-
spoon of raspberry jam to the dim-
ple of each cookie. Bake for 12 to 15
minutes. Cool for 5 minutes on the
pan, then transfer to a rack to cool
completely.
Dont mind the blood!
Yummy, gory cookies

people, she said.
Munks and his jail planning team must
now decide if it is worthwhile to still apply,
in hopes the county will be next in line if
one of the counties awarded funds drops
out. Munks said he has been in touch with
state legislators, the CDC and the state
sheriffs association for insight but has yet
to make the decision.
The state funds were never guaranteed
and their absence should not derail plans
for a $165 million, 576-bed jail, Munks
said.
We always said anything would help
lower costs but the approval of the jail was
not linked to the funds, he said.
The Board of Supervisors, short of
Supervisor Dave Pine, voted to direct
Munks to move forward with a hybrid
plan. The jail is yet to be designed but is
tentatively described as three oors topped
by 40 feet of unnished space for future
use as needed. Munks estimates it opening
in 2014-2015.
The jail is ballparked to cost between
$145 million and $165 million to build fol-
lowed by roughly $40 million in annual
operating costs. Full state funding would
shave up to 60 percent of the debt service.
Initially, only those counties receiving a
state invitation could le a full application
but the state opened the process up to both
categories shortly before the Oct. 21 letter
of intent deadline.
Heading into the process, county of-
cials shared Munks optimism in large part
because there was a plan and land in place.
The county purchased parcels on
Chemical Way in Redwood City for $17
million specically to build a jail.
We really thought we were so well
poised, said Lt. Deborah Bazan of the jail
planning team.
Now that the county was declined, at
least one supervisor thinks applying any-
way could be foolish to spend the time and
possibly money when it isnt a front-run-
ner.
Its like applying to college. If Im told
Im not getting into Stanford, I can still
apply. But it doesnt mean Im getting it,
Pine said.
Board Vice President Adrienne Tissier, a
vocal proponent of a new jail, also thinks
the county should only apply if it has the
chance to receive $50 million to $100 mil-
lion.
Right now the jail planners have a lot of
work they need to be doing ... to design
and get the site ready, If the likelihood is
slim to none, Im not necessary sure its
worth the effort, she said.
Although Pine did not join the board in
supporting the approved jail and always
voiced skepticism on receiving construc-
tion funds, he didnt relish the states deci-
sion.
My views on building a jail of this
scope are clear. But its still unfortunate we
dont have the money. Id much rather we
have it and as we move forward in long-
term planning we just have to remember
we will now have a $40 million a year
obligation, Pine said.
Pine pencils the nancial burden out to
$10.2 million in debt annually over a 30-
year span plus additional operating costs.
If the county does apply, the deadline is
Jan. 11.
Regardless of cost, there is little debate
the county needs a new jail to ease over-
crowding. The Maguire Correctional
Facility is rated for 688 inmates but often
averages more than 1,000 while the
womens facility usually surpasses its 84-
bed rating. Inmates are double and triple
bunked in rooms once meant for rehabili-
tation and programming, cutting services
and education ofcials say are key to
reducing recidivism.
During several study sessions to deter-
mine the size of a new facility, Pine and
members of the public questioned whether
more effort should be placed in prevention
rather than increased bed size.
Now that the plan is approved, Tissier
said the lack of state funding doesnt
change her mind this is the route to take
although she cautioned the county must be
prudent and responsive to the economy. In
the future, too, she said the county will
also have a better hand on how it is affect-
ed by the state realignment which keeps
more inmates local.
McMillan thinks the state offered jail
funds to help its own plans for realignment
and said the county should have received
money because it is providing the desired
outcomes of reducing incarceration.
This rewards bad behavior. Counties
who dont build facilities and automatical-
ly send inmates to the state get the money
while we dont. Once again, no good deed
goes unpunished, she said.
San Mateo County previously turned
down up to $100 million in state funding
because it came with too many strings, like
a mandatory re-entry facility for state
inmates. The state since amended the
requirements, leading to the recent appli-
cation process.

he said.
This is Kikuchis rst trip to the United
States. The girls spent three weeks at a
college studying English before heading
to the San Mateo school. Before heading
home, they will do a three-day home stay
with Aragon High School students, said
Imase.
In Japan, Im really quiet, Kikuchi
said. I dont interact as much.
She made an effort to change that while
here to build her English skills. As a
result, Kikuchi is adding to her vocabu-
lary, enjoying new albeit not always
American food like tacos and pizza, and
learning about Halloween. Earlier in the
day, the students carved pumpkins togeth-
er which decorated the schools front
steps.
For the San Mateo students, it is a win-
dow into another culture. Its also an
introduction to the students with whom
they will stay when the annual trip is
restarted in the spring.
Vixie has enjoyed the ability to practice
Japanese and is now extra excited about
the coming trip a chance, she said, to
do some community service in a town
thats still rebuilding.
Thirteen-year-old Jordana Cahen
agreed, and added that learning about the
earthquake, tsunami and life after from
those who lived through it was also inter-
esting.
Odyssey students and staff alike noted
how their guests often described the two
environmental efforts as separate since
some people were not affected by both.
Cahen shared the story of one student
who waited three hours in the snow for
food. Vixie recalled students telling tales
of giving up their food for young children
or their elders. It took about a month for
school to resume in Japan and the rebuild-
ing is still ongoing.
While both Cahen and Vixie comment-
ed on the humble nature of the visiting
students and how much theyve learned
about the culture, they also were intrigued
by the language barrier.
Cahen said it really hit home while in
science class this week. Odyssey students
were learning about DNA and needed to
explain the assignment to their visiting
friends. Although the vocabulary wasnt
always there, students have been able to
work together to understand each other.
VISIT
cation company ExteNet questions. In
addition, ExteNet claims the city caused
delays over the past year to discourage
plans, according to the 18-page lawsuit
led by attorney Robert Jystad Thursday,
Sept. 29. Lawyers for both sides gathered
Thursday morning to discuss exempting
ExteNet from the ban.
Jystad questioned the citys decision to
change the process after working togeth-
er about a year. Further delays, he
argued, could cause ExteNet to lose cus-
tomers and tarnish the companys reputa-
tion, he said.
Attorney Jeffrey Melching, on behalf
of the city, argued the city has until Jan.
31 to make a decision, which is a dead-
line that will be met regardless of the
moratorium, which ends Jan. 16. He
added the moratorium does not prohibit
the city and ExteNet from continuing to
work on the application. It simply bars
the City Council from making a ruling,
he said.
Julian Quattlebaum, one of two attor-
neys representing ExteNet, argued the
Jan. 31 deadline was at the very latest
and the law requires an early action if
possible, which he thought possible in
this case.
Miram further questioned Melching
noting the merits of harm to ExteNet
were strong. He also noted the proposed
devices didnt appear to cause much
harm to the city.
Melching disagreed saying the City
Council has the right to put a moratorium
in place when there is an effort to protect
the publics safety, health and welfare,
which it did in this case.
Jystad, on the other hand, said the
moratorium was put in place due to polit-
ical pressure from residents.
Burlingame also claims ExteNet failed
to provide complete and accurate
descriptions of the work and meaningful
responses to residents concerns, a point
from Melchings written response that he
went over orally Thursday.
ExteNets applications were submitted
in September 2010, according to the law-
suit. State and federal laws do limit a
citys ability to deny telecommunication
applications. Such installations are put in
the public right-of-way rather than pri-
vate land. Visual impacts are a valid rea-
son for denying a cell tower application
or requiring its modication, but the
Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996
does not allow perceived health risks as a
basis because electromagnetic radiation
is scientically unproven. Federal regu-
lations also outline the process, which
should take about 90 days.
Melching argued the 90 days assumes
no environmental review, which was
required in this case and includes
approval from the California Public
Utilities Commission. The City Council
has 180 days from that date, he said,
questioning why ExteNet waited so long
to apply to the CPUC.
Jystad countered that the company
waited to apply until the city had given
preliminary approval for the locations
and started the public noticing process.
Miram is expected to rule on the
injunction next week.
COURT
When property is auctioned, the pro-
ceeds pay off the mortgage and debt with
any remaining money going to the home-
owner. Squelching competitive bids limits
how much money is available for both.
The men used the U.S. mail and Federal
Express to send the Trustees Deeds Upon
Sale and other title documents to others in
the conspiracy, leading to the mail fraud
charges.
For their roles, the investors face up to a
decade in federal prison for violating the
antitrust law known as the Sherman Act
and up to 30 years for conspiring to com-
mit mail fraud, the DOJ announced yes-
terday.
The collusion taking place at these
auctions allowed the conspirators to line
their pockets with funds that otherwise
would have gone to lenders and, at times,
nancially distressed homeowners, said
Sharis Pozen, acting assistant attorney
general in charge of the DOJs antitrust
division, in announcing the pleas.
The antitrust division has an ongoing
investigation into bid rigging and fraud at
public real estate foreclosure auctions in
the Bay Area. To date, 18 people have
pleaded guilty.
Also pleading yesterday alongside the
local defendants were Gary Anderson of
Saratoga, Patrick Campion of San
Francisco, Keith Goodman of San
Francisco and Craig Lipton of San
Francisco.

ScOrPiO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- It might be one of those
times when the ideas of your mate or partner could
be substantially better than yours. Listen attentively
and be prepared to choose their plans over your own.
SaGittariUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- The arrange-
ment of your schedule will determine the degree of
productivity you achieve. Spending too much time on
innocuous pursuits will accomplish very little.
caPricOrN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- For the sake of
your own peace of mind, dont take yourself or what
youre trying to accomplish too seriously. Once you
get uptight, very little will come easily.
aQUariUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- The one thing that
could thwart your capability to accomplish your aims
is the misuse of your imagination. Instead of antici-
pating defeat or confict, focus on victory.
PiScES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Listen to a friend who
has been trying to tell you something that you dont want
to hear. What she or he has to say can be very valuable,
and exactly what you need to achieve your goal.
ariES (March 21-April 19) -- A fnancial arrangement
that worked out quite well for an associate might not
do so well for you. Use your own judgment in this
matter, and do what is best for your interests.
taUrUS (April 20-May 20) -- If a misunderstanding
arises between you and an easygoing friend, chances
are it is you who has stepped over the line. Even if
you think youre in the right, dont be too proud to
make amends.
GEMiNi (May 21-June 20) -- Dont be demanding in
order to get someone to be supportive of your cause
-- instead show cooperation with this persons needs.
If you give a little frst, youll get a lot back later.
caNcEr (June 21-July 22) -- Dont be hesitant
to ask advice regarding something that has you
stymied. However, it might be smart to go to a friend
instead of a family member if its a personal issue.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Clinging to a negative
attitude might be your biggest liability. Keep telling
yourself over and over that you can be successful,
and you will.
VirGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Youre known for being
quite adroit at handling most anything that comes
your way, with one exception. Upon occasion you
can get quite careless in handling your funds. Be
especially careful today.
LiBra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Its time to stop licking
your wounds concerning a situation that you recently
handled poorly. Instead, steer your mind toward
thinking about ways to do better next time.
