DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Pacica residents have launched
an organization to oppose the citys
plan to widen Highway 1. Pacicans
for Highway 1 Alternatives, or
PH1A for short, wants the city to
consider various alternatives to
Caltrans Calera Parkway Project,
which would expand Highway 1
from four to six lanes from Sharp
Park through Rockaway Beach.
The $52 million Caltrans project
would add one additional lane in
both directions to a 1.3-mile section
of Highway 1 stretching from south
of Fassler Avenue to north of Reina
Del Mar Avenue. The Pacica City
Council voted in late June to nomi-
nate the project for Measure A fund-
ing and to include a landscaped
median in the design. Measure A is
a countywide half-cent sales tax that
pays for transportation projects.
If the project moves forward, it
will be the result of more than 20
years worth of citizen complaints
about bumper-to-bumper rush hour
trafc.
The PH1A organization claims
Caltrans is pushing the project
despite local opposition and main-
tains Caltrans has not adequately
investigated alternatives. However,
Caltrans spokeswoman Gidget
Navarro said the agency has been
working closely with the city of
Pacica and the San Mateo County
Transportation Authority, the organ-
ization that allocates Measure A
money.
That cooperation is described in
the projects DEIR/EA (Draft
Environmental Impact
Report/Environmental Assessment),
said Navarro, which was developed
to be consistent with all applicable
requirements, including full analys

Man sells McJordan
barbecue sauce for $10,000
BISMARCK, N.D. A man who
used to own McDonalds restaurants in
North Dakota is about $10,000 richer
after selling a 20-year-old container of
McJordan barbecue sauce to a buyer in
Chicago.
The sauce was used on McJordan
Burgers, named for basketball icon
Michael Jordan. The promotional item
was sold in limited markets for a short
time in the 1990s, when Jordan led the
Chicago Bulls to six NBA champi-
onships.
Mort Bank, of Bismarck, saved the gal-
lon jug of sauce after selling his
McDonalds restaurants in Bismarck-
Mandan and Minot in 1996.
It was in my basement and I would
look at it occasionally, he told The
Bismarck Tribune. I thought it would be
worth something someday.
Bank advertised the sauce on eBay,
saying: A once in a lifetime chance to
own the rarest of rare Michael Jordan and
McDonalds collectible! It sold for
$9,995 Monday night to a buyer from
Chicago whom Bank has not identied.
Bank told the Chicago Tribune that the
buyer was not Jordan himself. Jordan
opened a steakhouse in Chicago last year.
Im sure hes a Bulls or Michael
Jordan fan, and hopefully hes not going
to put it on his ribs or his burger, Bank
told KXMB-TV of the buyer. But its up
to him; he can do whatever he wants with
it.
Bank said he has at least three storage
units full of McDonalds memorabilia
and other collectors items that he has
been selling on eBay for three years. He
has sold items to buyers as far away as
China, Japan, Brazil and Europe, though
never for as much money as the sauce
garnered.
Im pretty ecstatic, he told the
Bismarck Tribune. You never know
what is going to be a hot item.
Brothers wait years to
claim $5M lottery prize
SYRACUSE, N.Y. Two brothers
from central New York have claimed a $5
million lottery prize for a scratch-off tick-
et they bought at their parents Syracuse
store six years ago, state ofcials said.
Andy Ashkar, 34, of Camillus, and
Nayel Ashkar, 36, of Cicero, came for-
ward March 1, just 11 days before the top
prize in the $500,000,000
Extravaganza scratch-off game would
have expired, New York Lottery said.
Andy Ashkar said he bought the ticket
at his parents convenience store in
Syracuse in 2006 and decided to share the
winnings with his brother, ofcials said.
The agency said the younger brother
said he waited so long to claim his prize
because he was concerned the windfall
could negatively inuence his life if he
didnt plan properly before being pub-
licly introduced as the winner. Andy
Ashkar also told lottery ofcials that he
also didnt want the windfall to inuence
his engagement and subsequent marriage.
Calls to phone numbers listed for the
Ashkar brothers went unanswered
Wednesday morning.
Nayel Ashkars wife, Sara, told The
Post-Standard of Syracuse on Tuesday
that news of the winnings was spreading
fast, with family and friends calling to
express their surprise and excitement.
Its crazy, she said. Hard to believe.
Its still sinking in.
The brothers mother, Wasa Ashkar,
said her husband, Neyef, sold the win-
ning ticket to Andy at the couples Green
Ale Market, but she couldnt remember
exactly when. She said she and her hus-
band were Palestinians from Jerusalem
who immigrated to the United States
nearly 40 years ago and have owned the
store for 12 years.
Im happy. Of course Im happy, she
told the Associated Press over the phone
before ending the conversation because
she was busy with customers Wednesday
morning.
Lottery spokeswoman Carolyn
Hapeman said the brothers claimed their
prize at the agencys Schenectady head-
quarters on March 1. Unlike winning
tickets for games such as Lotto and Mega
Million that expire in a year, tickets for
scratch-off games expire a year after a
game is retired. The Extravaganza game
was retired on March 12, 2011, Hapeman
said.

Dream it, build it, y it its a belief by
which all X-Plane homebuilders live and an
idea shared by longtime pilot Dave Morss
who will be speaking about his experience as
an X-Pilot at the Hiller Aviation Museum in
San Carlos Oct. 20.
Morss is recognized as one of aviations top
test pilots and holds a variety of certicates.
Morss whose interest piqued when his
brother began flying owns Myriad
Research, which he began in 1984 as a way of
helping other homebuilders with their proj-
ects.
He was 12 years older than I was so when
he was learning to y I was probably 6 or 7
years old and I remember seeing how focused
it made him, Morss said. [He was] doing his
ight planning and it just impressed me seeing
that it was maybe something that I could do.
It started out with local homebuilders.
Morss said of his company. I was young and
full of [energy] and somebody would ask me
to y their homebuilt and tell them what I
thought of it. I did that for a few people and
made some recommendations and they said
well how could you tell it needed that and I
said well it was obvious and after doing a
few of these and ying other peoples air-
planes I found I could analyze things that air-
planes needed very easily that other people
didnt have the ability [to analyze].
The world of homebuilt aircraft ofcial-
ly known in the United States as Experimental
Amateur-Built Aircraft has existed as long
as powered ight, dating back to the Wright
brothers, who were the rst homebuilders
since they never relied on a factory to con-
struct their airplanes, according to the
Experimental Aircraft Association.
Six Bay Area residents will ask me to help
in a year [but] I actually y airplanes all over
the world so thats actually just a small part of
what I do, Morss said. But in the Bay Area,
usually what I would do is look at the project,
make adjustments and then when the time gets
closer to licensing it I help them do that or I
license it myself. I also then can help them
decide if they can do the test ying or if they
want me to do it. If they want to do it I can
help them design a program and mentor them
through the process.
Morss will be speaking about his years
working with homebuilt planes at Hiller
Aviation Museum Oct. 20.
Ill talk about a lot of different aspects of
X-Plane ying but what I was going to try to
focus on was the electric airplane because
theyre something thats real new and just
turning on and setting the standards of what
electric airplanes are going to be doing in the
future.
Morss presentation begins at 11 a.m. and
the event is included with admission to the
museum.

A woman who claimed she injured her
ankle while working as a custodian for the
Sequoia Union High School District but was
later videotaped tossing her crutches, slipping
on a pair of high heels and engaging in inti-
mate acts in a public park pleaded no contest
yesterday to workers compensation fraud.
Modupe Adunni Martin, 29, changed her
plea to avoid trial on 10 counts of insurance
fraud charged after a doctor contacted by
prosecutors concluded that she could not have
engaged in any of the activities if she was
actually injured. She faced approximately
seven years in prison if convicted by a jury but
instead faces up to a year in jail when sen-
tenced Dec. 13.
The settlement is reasonable for a theft
case under realignment, said Deputy District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Martin, who was originally scheduled for
trial Monday, was originally charged with a
count for each time she allegedly misrepre-
sented herself to two different doctors
between February and August 2009. Martin,
of Hayward, told her employer she injured
herself on the job and could not walk. She
used crutches to attend doctor appointments
but arose suspicion. Investigators following
her to one appointment taped her entering and
leaving the ofce on crutches but throwing
them in the back seat of her car and driving to
a nearby gas station where she changed from
at shoes to heels, Wagstaffe said.
Footage also reportedly showed Martin
walking to a Lathrop park without the crutch-
es and engaging in sexual activity with her
boyfriend.
She remains free from custody on a $40,000
bail bond.

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
A single-engine plane that was found
wrecked on a coastal bluff Tuesday after it
departed from Half Moon Bay on Monday
morning was registered to a Florida man,
authorities said.
The single-engine Aeropro CZ A240
crashed near Seal Cove shortly after depart-
ing from the Half Moon Bay Airport for
Marana Regional Airport near Tucson,
Ariz., around 5:50 a.m. Monday, Federal
Aviation Administration spokesman Ian
Gregor said.
The plane is registered to Andrew Hayden,
of Punta Gorda, Fla.
A San Mateo County Coroners Office
employee said Wednesday she could not yet
confirm the pilots identity.
The pilots wife said he intended to make a
fuel stop in Apple Valley, Calif., and she
reported the aircraft missing when it did not
show up on schedule at Marana, according to
Gregor.
After a search effort led by the U.S. Coast
Guard and aided by the Civil Air Patrol and
the San Mateo County Sheriffs Office, a
ground-based search crew found the wreck-
age around noon Tuesday, about 400 yards
west of the Half Moon Bay Airport, Gregor
said.
FAA investigators were at the scene
Tuesday, and National Transportation Safety
Board investigators were expected to arrive
yesterday.
It typically takes the NTSB several months
to determine a cause for these types of acci-
dents, Gregor said.
San Mateo County sheriffs spokeswoman
Rebecca Rosenblatt said the pilots name is
expected to be released Thursday, after
authorities contact his family in Florida.
Rosenblatt said the pilot was alone in the
plane.

As the hulls of his 72-foot catamaran dug
into the waves on San Francisco Bay and the
boat began to tumble stern over bow,
Americas Cup champion Jimmy Spithill of
Oracle Racing thought only about his mates
and how theyd come out of the scary crash.
Spithill had capsized a 45-foot version of
the fast catamaran before, but the 72-footer
that flipped Tuesday is more powerful and
carries a bigger crew.
Youre a lot higher in the air, Spithill told
the Associated Press by phone on
Wednesday. Youre 70 feet in the air. My
biggest concern is there are a lot more of
your teammates on board. And really, until
you know everyone is accounted for and safe,
thats probably the worst part of the experi-
ence.
There were some cuts
and bruises, but it was
pretty amazing everyone
was able to walk away
from it, Spithill said.
There were no signicant
injuries. Its very, very for-
tunate to get through that

The former bookkeeper for a San
Mateo bakery was sentenced yester-
day to two years in jail for pocketing
nearly $400,000 of the companys
dough to buy gift cards and cover
hefty debts.
Gabriela Figueroa Verdusco, 31,
faced up to three years and eight
months in prison after pleading no
contest to embezzlement and com-
mercial burglary. At the time, she
was told the amount of restitution
she is able to scrape together by that
time would likely play a role in the
nal sentence. The amount repaid
was not released but on Wednesday
Verdusco received a term of two
years custody followed by one year
and eight months supervision. The
split sentence is a new option under
state prison realignment.
Verdusco was originally charged
with 14 counts of embezzlement
and second-degree burglary after the
president of Pastry Smart hired an
accountant to audit the records and
found the bookkeeper had taken
$387,631.03 between May 2008 and
April 2011. Verdusco allegedly stole
the money by making false entries
in the books that showed payments
to legitimate vendors but actually
cut the checks to herself. The money
was reportedly spent on high-end
gift cards and payments on exten-
sive nancial debt.
Pastry Smart, on South Amphlett
Boulevard, specializes in organic
par-baked and frozen pastries, bread
and confectionery products, accord-
ing to its website.
Verdusco has been free from cus-
tody on her own recognizance.

The Environmental Protection
Agency awarded $6.5 million in
grants for Bay Area water preserva-
tion including $75,000 to improve sh
passage in San Francisquito Creek.
The grant, in partnership with the
San Mateo County Resource
Conservation District, will remove a
barrier and redesign the creek channel
to reopen access to 40 miles of
upstream spawning habitat for steel-
head.
The improvements are one of 10
projects receiving grants in amounts
ranging from $75,000 to $1.5 million
throughout the San Francisco Bay
watershed.
San Francisco Bay is a magni-
cent treasure that supports more than
500 species of wildlife, including 128
threatened or endangered species,
and the economies of Bay shoreline
communities, said Jared
Blumenfeld, EPAs regional adminis-
trator for the Pacic Southwest, in a
prepared statement.
The other projects funded include
restoring wetlands at creek mouths,
including San Francisquito; reducing
sediment loads into the Napa River;
improving water quality and wetlands
at Sonoma Creek Marsh; restoring
creek channel and tidal marsh to the
Crissy Field wetlands; preparation of
Sears Point for tidal marsh restora-
tion; studying mercury in the South
Bay salt ponds; reducing packaging
at fast-food establishments; reducing
household use of toxic pesticides; and
restoring Alameda Creek.

SAN DIEGO Home foreclosure
activity in California fell to a new
ve-year low in the third quarter as
rising prices eased pressure on home-
owners and lenders, a research rm
said Wednesday.
There were 49,026 default notices
on residential properties from July
through September, down 31.2 per-
cent from 71,275 the same period last
year and down 63.8 percent from
135,431 in the rst quarter of 2009,
DataQuick said.
It marked Californias lowest num-
ber of default notices since there
were 46,760 in the rst quarter of
2007.
The numbers further eased concern
about a ood of distressed sales to
slow or even reverse the housing
markets recovery. On the ip side,
the dearth of foreclosures has meant
slimmer pickings for buyers seeking
to take advantage of low interest
rates and an improving economy.
Theres been speculation for
years that the next wave (of foreclo-
sures) is just around the corner, and it
just hasnt happened, said Lance
Martin, a Coldwell Banker broker in
Southern Californias Inland Empire.
The median price for new and
existing houses and condominiums
in California reached $287,000 last
month, up 15.3 percent from
$249,000 a year earlier and its high-
est since August 2008, according to
San Diego-based DataQuick.

MOUNT VERNON, Iowa One day
after their contentious, finger-pointing
debate, President Barack Obama and
Republican Mitt Romney vied aggressively
for the support of women voters Wednesday,
as they and their running mates charged
across nearly a half-dozen battleground states
in the close race for the White House with 20
days to run.
Not even Republicans disputed that
Obamas debate performance was much
stronger than the listless showing two weeks
earlier that helped spark a rise in the polls for
Romney. The two rivals meet one more time,
next Monday in Florida.
The rst post-debate polls were divided,
some saying Romney won, others nding
Obama did. At least some of the voters who
asked the questions in the town-hall style
encounter remained uncommitted. If Gov.
Romney could actually provide the jobs, that
would be a good thing because we really
need them, said Nina Gonzalez, a 2008
Obama voter, neatly summarizing the uncer-
tainty confronting voters in a slow-growth,
high-unemployment economy.
Obama wore a pink wristband to show sup-
port for Breast Cancer Awareness Month as
he campaigned in Iowa and then Ohio, and
reminded his audience that the rst legisla-
tion he signed after becoming president made
it easier for women to take pay grievances to
court.
Romney took no position on that bill when
it passed Congress, and his campaign says he
would not seek its repeal. But Obama chided
him, saying, That shouldnt be a complicat-
ed question. Equal pay for equal work.
He also jabbed at Romneys remark during
Tuesday nights debate that as Massachusetts
governor, he received whole binders full of
women after saying he wanted to appoint
more of them to his administration. We
dont have to collect a bunch of binders to
nd qualied, talented women, he said.
Ive got two daughters and I dont want
them paid less for the same job as a man,
Obama said at an appearance in Athens,
Ohio, later Wednesday.
Obama spoke to a crowd of about 14,000
students and supporters at Ohio University,
imploring them to vote early. I want your
vote. I am not too proud to beg. I want you to
vote, he said.
Romneys campaign launched a new televi-
sion commercial that seemed designed to
take the edge ever so slightly off his opposi-
tion to abortion another example of his
October move toward the middle while
urging women voters to keep pocketbook
issues uppermost in their minds when they
cast their ballots.
In fact he thinks abortion should be an
option in cases of rape, incest or to save a
mothers life, says a woman in the new ad.
Pivoting quickly to economic matters, she
adds, But Im more concerned about the
debt our children will be left with. I voted for
President Obama last time, but we just cant
afford four more years.
That dovetailed with Romneys personal
pitch to an audience in Chesapeake, Va.
This president has failed Americans
women. Theyve suffered in terms of getting
jobs, he declared, saying that 3.6 million
more of them are in poverty now than when
Obama took ofce.
Obama, Romney seek support from women after debate
President Barack Obama on Wednesday ridiculed challenger Mitt Romneys debate description
of receiving binders full of women, while the GOP nominee said the incumbents policies
have failed female voters.

NEW YORK A Bangladeshi
man who came to the United States
to wage jihad was arrested in an
elaborate FBI sting on Wednesday
after attempting to blow up a fake
car bomb outside the Federal
Reserve building in Manhattan,
authorities said.
Before trying to carry out the
alleged terrorism plot, Quazi
Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nas
went to a warehouse to help assem-
ble a 1,000-pound bomb using inert
material, according to a criminal
complaint. He also asked an under-
cover agent to videotape him say-
ing, We will not stop until we
attain victory or martyrdom, the
complaint said.
Agents grabbed the 21-year-old
Nas armed with a cellphone he
believed was rigged as a detonator
after he made several attempts to
blow up the bomb inside a vehicle
parked next to the Federal Reserve,
the complaint said.
Authorities emphasized that the
plot never posed an actual risk.
However, they claimed the case
demonstrated the value of using
sting operations to neutralize young
extremists eager to harm
Americans.
Attempting to destroy a land-
mark building and kill or maim
untold numbers of innocent
bystanders is about as serious as the
imagination can conjure, said
Mary Galligan, acting head of the
FBIs New York ofce. The defen-
dant faces appropriately severe con-
sequences.
Nas appeared in federal court in
Brooklyn to face charges of
attempting to use a weapon of mass
destruction and attempting to pro-
vide material support to al-Qaida.
Wearing a brown T-shirt and black
jeans, he was ordered held without
bail and did not enter a plea. His
defense attorney had no comment
outside court.
The defendant had sought assur-
ances from an undercover agent
posing as an al-Qaida contact that
the terrorist group would support
the operation.

WASHINGTON Violent
crimes unexpectedly jumped 18 per-
cent last year, the rst rise in nearly
20 years, and property crimes rose
for rst time in a decade. But aca-
demic experts said the new govern-
ment data fall short of signaling a
reversal of the long decline in crime.
The U.S. Bureau of Justice
Statistics reported Wednesday that
the increase in the number of violent
crimes was the result of an upward
swing in simple assaults, which rose
22 percent, from 4 million in 2010
to 5 million last year. The incidence
of rape, sexual assault and robbery
remained largely unchanged, as did
serious violent crime involving
weapons or injury.
Property crimes were up 11 per-
cent in 2011, from 15.4 million in
2010 to 17 million, according to the
bureaus annual national crime vic-
timization survey. Household bur-
glaries rose 14 percent, from 3.2
million to 3.6 million. The number
of thefts jumped by 10 percent, from
11.6 million to 12.8 million.
The statistics bureau said the per-
centage increases last year were so
large primarily because the 2011
crime totals were compared to his-
torically low levels of crime in
2010. Violent crime has fallen by 65
percent since 1993, from 16.8 mil-
lion to 5.8 million last year.

Meningitis outbreak
deaths rise to 19
NEW YORK Four more peo-
ple have died in the national menin-
gitis outbreak, bringing the death
toll to 19, health officials said
Wednesday.
The deaths are among the 247
people in 15 states sickened in the
outbreak. They all received shots of
an apparently contaminated steroid
medication made by a
Massachusetts specialty pharmacy.
Most of the patients contracted a
rare fungal form of meningitis, after
getting the shots for back pain over
the past few months. Two developed
infections from joint injections.
Of the latest deaths, two were in
Tennessee and one each was report-
ed in Florida and in Virginia, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention reported Wednesday.
That brings deaths to eight in
Tennessee; three in Florida and
Michigan, two in Indiana and
Virginia, and one in Maryland.

Farewell to Bean Street Coffee
Editor,
I was sad to learn that Bean Street
Coffee is closing on Oct. 21. This
locally-owned coffee shop has been a
xture on B Street in downtown San
Mateo for over 10 years. Its always
been a friendly, welcoming place to
have a cup of coffee, meet friends or
see the work of local artists.
Sadly, the owners havent been able
to renew their lease or nd a compara-
ble lease at a decent rate downtown, so
theyre closing up shop.
Its too bad to see another locally-
owned shop go out of business. Unlike
the big chains, Bean Street felt like a
family affair without any of the usual
corporate cookie-cutter nonsense. It
also had great free Wi-Fi.
Perhaps San Mateo needs to take a
look at its business development poli-
cies to ensure a vibrant future for
locally-owned businesses like this one
was.

Whos entitled?
Editor,
In response to the line besides
insulting half of the country, Romney
adds insult to injury by speaking at a
$50,000 a plate fundraiser where the
audience includes some of the most
entitled people in America (Sue
Lemperts column Whos entitled? in
the Oct. 8 edition of the Daily
Journal), heres a fact from ABC News
Minneapolis and Chicago, June 1,

son fundraiser.
Dear Ms. Lempert, you insult con-
servatives, but liberals insult the other
half of America with no mention.

Hike sales tax:
Measure A and others
Editor,
These tax proponents, Measure A and
others on the ballots, are out of their
minds. Government is here to provide
basic and essential services and should
set their base expense line accordingly.
It does not include supplying golden
handrails in public toilets. And have
you ever thought how much of that
money is going to disappear in salaries
and benets, no matter what the law
says and how it is written? You remem-
ber the decits we have? We must ush
this from the taxation and budget sys-
tem through austerity measures and
reduction of expenses. I would not trust
the politicians with my 15-year-old
rusted bike. Would you?

Romneys mistake
Editor,
I just read Sue Lemperts column
Whos entitled? in the Oct. 8 edition
of the Daily Journal and she has really
given a very good reason for not voting
for Mitt Romney. As she says, Romney
really did insult half the country by his
statement that 47 percent of
Americans feel entitled. Who does he
think will vote for him when he belit-
tles almost half the American citizens?
An old statement comes to mind:
Theres many a slip twixt the cup and
the lip. And he did it!

Train noise
Editor,
Who would spend top dollars to live
in an apartment next to railroad tracks,
especially with the increased number of
trains planned plus adding on the new
route of the future high-speed rail?
(Neighbors balk at San Carlos Transit
Village review in the Oct. 16 edition
of the Daily Journal).
I remember visiting folks living next
to an El train in New York City. One
couldnt hear our conversation when a
train passed. It not only roared, but also
shook the building. At that time when I
lived one block away from the elevated
A train in Manhattan, I slept soundly
only after moving away to a much qui-
eter street.
Even now the night trains a half-
dozen blocks away can be heard at my
home here in San Carlos.
Living next to the tracks would
become unbearable during the day,
later becoming a nightmare. Wearing
Bose earphones 24/7 would not be a
solution.
Recent meetings over the proposed
Transit Village project seem to be more
concerned with increased noise that
could be generated by the project itself.
I have not yet heard concerns voiced
over the issue of noise duress that
would be generated by existing and
future trains themselves upon all the
new residents of this proposal now
under consideration.

T
he Oct. 16 debate was
President Barack Obamas to
win.
Or lose.
After a performance in the rst
debate that was universally panned,
there were just two possible outcomes
for Obama: further damage to his cam-
paign or the beginning of a recovery.
It was a reset for Obama.
The president came out strong, with a
powerful and detailed vision for the
future. He spoke clearly and forcefully
to a room full of 82 undecided voters in
New York and the nation.
From the start, Obama was in com-
mand, putting Gov. Mitt Romney on the
defensive, calling out Romneys mis-
characterizations of the governors
long-standing policies and revealing the
hollowness of Romneys tax plan.
Unlike in the rst debate, Obama
refused to let Romneys shifting state-
ments about his tax plan, about coal,
about the federal governments rescue
of the auto industry stand unchallenged.
Two weeks ago, we urged voters to
look past style and focus on substance
in these presidential debates. That was
before the rst debate when Obama
won on substance but Romney clearly
won the debate. We now see the power
of style.
Romney emerged the winner because
he appeared to embody the qualities
you want in a president decisive-
ness, energy and toughness. He exuded
condence, telling voters hes the guy
to follow.
In contrast, Obama was listless and
didnt ght back, reinforcing a nagging
fear that hes letting the Republicans in
Congress bully him and that he lacks a
plan for the next four years.
On Oct. 16, Obama turned that
around.
It wasnt exactly a do-over but it was
certainly a restart.
The second presidential debate
Bean Street Coffee
I
will miss my coffee. Come Monday, Bean Street Coffee
in downtown San Mateo will shut its doors indenitely,
ending more than a decade of outstanding joe and even
better camaraderie. As anyone whos had the pleasure of a
visit knows, the independent coffee shop on B Street was part
coffee purveyor, part snarky Algonquin round table, part warm
Cheers bar atmosphere and part everything in between.
I dont remember really meeting
owners Ken and Riyad Khoury so
much as feeling like I always knew
them and noticing they seemed to
know everybody else, too. The
small back coffee bar at the back of
the narrow shop was the domain of
the regulars and the servers who
didnt even need ask what they
wanted to order. Here is where I
often kick-started my morning
or sometimes, other parts of the
day with a strong dose of
Organic Joe Black and culled pub-
lic feedback on whatever nonsense
lled this column space that week. There I had the best zuc-
chini bread ever (thanks Bob!) and began an ongoing Words
With Friends battle of wits (You cant always win, Michael!).
I received advice on keeping bruises at bay from one cus-
tomer, picked apart Giants games with another and always
looked forward to October when rows of pumpkin bars join
the other sweet treats for sale.
Here dogs like sweet Mollie offered her ears up for a
scratch or my own rascally puppies learned the joys of a
madeleine courtesy of Ken. Animals and kids were always
welcome, despite the ever-present comic strip proclaiming that
unaccompanied minors would be given an espresso and a
puppy.
The cartoon on the register is far from the only bit of color
in the shop. The long wall always showcased local artwork
and boasted framed articles about the business, particularly its
unique offering of kopi lowak. For those who dont know
about the pricey brew, kopi lowak is made from beans previ-
ously digested by catlike creatures. Not my personal favorite,
although there might be a bit of cachet in saying ones tried it,
but certainly something you cant get at any of the chain cof-
fee shops.
But caffeine aside, there are several other things I and every
other Bean Street junkie wont be able to get with our venti or
grande whatever elsewhere. Has Starbucks ever hosted a wed-
ding for two faithful patrons? Did Petes ever throw after-
hours gatherings for patrons, complete with homemade good-
ies and revelry? How many Blue Bottle or Philz employees
visit former customers after age and fading mental acuity
make it impossible for them to show up?
Once as I sat on a barstool, a woman came in to visit the
spot where her daughter rst met her then-ancee and was
greeted with a hug and wishes by Ken. This came just a week
after the shop hosted a wedding. Another time, a customer
actually, make that friend as they all eventually become
came in with an old espresso maker. Ken offered to contact
somebody who would whip it back into order. Sometimes cus-
tomers showed up before the store even opened in the morn-
ing.
Bean Street is just is that kind of place.
Last November, the coffee shop was abuzz with its mention
in the missed connections section of Craigslist You are
the gray-haired man in Bean Street Coffee most mornings.
You ride your bike to and from. Just thought you should know
youre incredibly sexy!
In a space where everybody seems to know everybody,
news and amateur sleuthing traveled quick that somebody in
the proverbial family had a secret admirer.
Like I said, Bean Street was and for at least the next few
days until Sunday, is a special place whose absence will be
sorely missed. As the story goes, texted around the faithful
coffee klatch, its lease is not being renewed and while it had
hoped to eventually move into the vacant space next door,
those negotiations fell through.
The question now is where to go. Ken also owns the Castro
Coffee Company in San Francisco but thats a bit of a hike for
a midday pick-me-up.
Since the Daily Journals move from B Street to ofces sev-
eral blocks away, my visits have become more sporadic
frankly but that doesnt mean I wont feel like a cheater if I go
anywhere else now.
Ive tried before, out of convenience and desperation, but
have twice been caught as I snuck by Bean Street with a tell-
tale cup in hand. You went to Starbucks! came the knowing
cry from inside the shop, as my cheeks burned with guilt. You
never want to tangle with the source of ones addiction.
With Bean Street absent, I may frankly slip back to my less-
faithful ways. But mark my words, a chain can have my busi-
ness but it will never have my heart!
So as Bean Street prepares to steam its last froth and top off
its last espresso, a humble thank you doesnt feel adequate.
I will miss my coffee but more signicantly I will miss
everything and everyone that came with it.

NEW YORK A surprisingly strong
housing report helped push the stock
market mostly higher Wednesday, while
weak earnings reports from Intel and
IBM weighed on the Dow Jones indus-
trial average.
Even though the two tech giants disap-
pointed, overall earnings results have
come in much better than some investors
had feared, said Dan Veru, chief invest-
ment officer at Palisade Capital
Management in Fort Lee, N.J.
Everyone is breathing a sigh of relief
that things arent all that bad, Veru said.
Thats what you see happening now.
The Dow edged up 5.22 points to close
at 13,557, barely managing its fourth
straight day of gains. The broader
Standard & Poors 500 index gained
5.99 points to 1,460.91.
Better results from Mattel, Goldman
Sachs, and Johnson & Johnson shot the
stock market higher Tuesday. For the
week, the Dow is up 1.7 percent and the
S&P 500 is up 2.3 percent.
Heading into this earnings season,
FedEx, Caterpillar and other global
heavyweights had warned investors that
Chinas slowing economy and Europes
ongoing debt crisis would weigh on
quarterly prots.
Analysts still expect that third-quarter
earnings for companies in the S&P 500
will shrink for the rst time since 2009.
IBM reported sales late Tuesday that
missed Wall Streets expectations. On a
call with analysts, IBMs chief nancial
ofcer said the company faced more
challenging market conditions in
September, the nal month of the quar-
ter, as cautious customers and a weaken-
ing euro undercut its results. IBMs
stock sank $10.37 to $200.63.
Without IBMs drop, the Dow would
have been 79 points higher. Stocks with
higher prices carry more weight in the
average of 30 large companies. Every
move of $1 in any Dow stock is equiva-

NEW YORK EBays third-quarter
net income grew 22 percent, helped by
higher revenue at its PayPal payments
service and the marketplaces business
that includes eBay.com.
The results were roughly within expec-
tations, with revenue a little light and
earnings a tad higher than what Wall
Street analysts had predicted. EBay Inc.
also raised its full-year guidance slightly.
The online commerce company said
Wednesday that it earned $597 million,
or 45 cents per share, in the July-
September period. Thats up from $491
million, or 37 cents per share, a year ear-
lier.
Revenue grew 15 percent to $3.4 bil-
lion from $2.97 billion.
Adjusted earnings were 55 cents per
share in the latest quarter, slightly ahead
of Wall Streets expectations.
Analysts surveyed by FactSet were
expecting earnings of 54 cents per share
on revenue of $3.41 billion.
We had a great third quarter across
our company, with Marketplaces and
PayPal accelerating customer growth,
CEO John Donahoe said in a statement.
Mobile continues to be a game changer

Google opens window into secretive data centers
SAN FRANCISCO Google is opening a virtual window
into the secretive data centers where an intricate maze of
computers process Internet search requests, show YouTube
video clips and distribute email for millions of people.
The unprecedented peek is being provided through a new
website unveiled Wednesday. The site features photos from
inside some of the eight data centers that Google Inc. already
has running in the U.S., Finland and Belgium. Google is also
building data centers in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and
Chile.
Virtual tours of a North Carolina data center also will be
available through Googles Street View service, which is
usually used to view photos of neighborhoods around the
world.
The photographic access to Googles data centers coincides
with the publication of a Wired magazine article about how
the company builds and operates them. The article is written
by Steven Levy, a journalist who won Googles trust while
writing In The Plex, a book published last year about the
companys philosophy and evolution.

YANKEES STAY ALIVE: GAME 4 OF THE ALCS IS RAINED OUT WITH DETROIT HOLDING A 3-0 SERIES LEAD >>> PAGE 12
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Serra has a good boys water polo team. It
really does. The Padres managed to score nine
times against a Sacred Heart Prep team that
came into the match allowing an average of
5.8 goals a match.
Sacred Heart Prep, however, has a great
water polo team and it was all on display in a
17-9 win over the host Padres Wednesday
evening.
Theyre better. Theyre just better, said
Serra coach Bob Greene of the Gators. I
thought we played well. This was one of our
better games against these guys in a while.
I think [the Gators] are the best team in
Northern California.
Sacred Heart Prep (5-0 WCAL) wasted lit-
tle time in jumping out to a 2-0 lead less than
two minutes into the match as the Gators
scored six times on seven shots in the rst
quarter and the last shot shouldnt even really
count considering it was a shot by the goal-
tender as time expired in the rst period.
They barely cooled off in the second period,
scoring four time on eight shots. In fact,
Sacred Heart Prep rarely missed, as far as
water polo goes. Any time one has to gure
out a shooting percentage for a water polo
team, that team is on re.
The Gators denitely were as their 16 goals
came on 29 shots, which is good for a shoot-
ing percentage of 55 percent.
It was a very good shooting night and they
have a very good goalkeeper, said Sacred
Heart Prep coach Brian Kreutzkamp. Lately
weve been shooting ourselves in the foot,
Sacred Heart Prep too much for Serra

Giants starter Matt Cain gave up three runs on six hits including a two-run homer to Matt
Carpenter in 6 2/3 innings of work in taking the loss in Game 3 of the NLCS.
By Jim Salter
ST. LOUIS The San Francisco Giants
had every opportunity to grab control of the
NL championship series Wednesday.
The NL West champions had nine hits and
ve walks but stranded 11 runners during a 3-
1 loss to St. Louis that gave the Cardinals a 2-
1 lead in the best-of-seven series.
The Cardinals were as opportunistic as the
Giants were wasteful in a game delayed 3 1/2
hours by rain. St. Louis scored its three runs
on six hits and left only ve runners on base
in beating San Francisco ace Matt Cain.
Cardinals starter Kyle Lohse was unusually
wild, walking a season-high ve (one inten-
tionally) and allowing seven hits while throw-
ing 108 pitches over 5 2-3 innings. But he got
the outs he needed as San Francisco went 0
for 7 with runners in scoring position, its lone
run coming on Pablo Sandovals third-inning
groundout. By contrast, St. Louis was 2 for 4
with runners in scoring position.
Inning after inning, the Giants had opportu-
nities. Six times they put at least two hitters
on base in an inning.
We had our chances, manager Bruce
Bochy said. We left too many on base.
Angel Pagan singled leading off the third
and Marco Scutaro followed with a double.
But after Sandovals RBI grounder and an
intentional walk to Buster Posey, Hunter
Pence hit into a double play.
The Giants had runners on second and third
with two outs in the fourth, but Pagan ied out
to center. Pagan failed to come through again
with two on and two outs in the sixth, ground-
ing into a forceout.
Sandoval one-hopped the left-field wall
with one out in the seventh, but Matt
Hollidays strong throw held him to a single.
That was a big play because Posey followed
with a single. But reliever Mitchell Boggs
came in to strike out Pence swinging and
Brandon Belt looking.
Pence was perhaps the biggest rally-stopper
for the Giants offense, stranding six runners.
Im the goat tonight. I just didnt get the
job done, he said.
Giants offense sputters

SAN FRANCISCO Last October, the San
Francisco 49ers were all alone in rst place and
already on their way to winning the NFC West
title in commanding fashion in coach Jim
Harbaughs rst season.
Thats hardly the case this year as they prepare
for their division opener at home Thursday night
against the Seattle Seahawks: Theres a three-
way tie at the top among 4-
2 teams Arizona, San
Francisco and Seattle.
Everybody in our divi-
sion got better, 49ers run-
ning back Frank Gore said.
Thats OK, were all right
with that. We like it like
that. We like it tough. Were
tough enough to handle it.
After riding high for two weeks after consec-
utive blowout victories against the New York
Jets and Buffalo Bills, the 49ers had little time to
gure out all that went wrong in a 26-3 loss
Sunday to the reigning Super Bowl champion
Giants at Candlestick Park.
Youve just got to go, Harbaugh said.
Youve got to go right away.
Seattle fullback Michael Robinson describes
it this way: Go get in a car accident and then try
to play two days later. Thats how it feels.
These teams the last two division winners
faced off in Weeks 1 and 16 last year, with the
49ers eliminating the Seahawks from postseason
contention with a 19-17 road win on Dec. 24.
That was the 49ers rst win in Seattle since
2008.
And Harbaugh certainly has had his way
against Seattle coach Pete Carroll of late, win-
ning the last four meetings dating back to that
surprising 55-21 rout by No. 25 Stanford against

T
wo local ghters Mighty
Melissa McMorrow and Joe The
Punisher Gumina will both be
back in the ring this weekend. McMorrow (7-3-
3) will take on Puerto Ricos Yahaira Martinez
(7-3, 4 KOs) Friday night at the Kissimmee,
Fla. Civic Center, while Gumina (3-1, 2 KOs)
will face San Franciscos Payton Boyea (0-2)
Saturday night at Thunder Valley Casino Resort
outside of Sacramento.
This is McMorrows rst ght since captur-
ing the WBA and WBO world yweight title in
May when she went to Germany and earned a
majority decision over Susi Kentikian, her rst
professional loss after 29 straight wins. Two of
the judges had
McMorrow ahead 96-
94, while the third had
the ght even at 95-95.
Martinez won her
rst ve ghts, but has
lost three of her last
ve, including a unani-
mous decision loss to
Carina Moreno.
While McMorrow is
at the top of her game,
Martinez could show
some considerable ring
rust considering this is
her rst ght in four years. Her loss to Moreno
came in August 2008.
Eddie Croft, McMorrow trainer/manager and
owner of B Street Boxing in San Mateo, said
this ght came about in the last few weeks after
a couple ts and starts getting McMorrow back
in the ring. She was originally supposed to have
a rematch with Kentikian, but that fell through.
Once he secured a spot on this card in Florida,
he scrambled to get an opponent. He couldnt
reach an agreement with another potential
opponent before he nally secured Martinez as
McMorrows rst title defense.
The promoter with which Croft and
McMorrow have been working asked if
McMorrow was ready to go on such short
notice.

ALAMEDA Linebacker Aaron Curry has
returned to practice with the Oakland Raiders
for the rst time since May after dealing with
nagging knee problems in recent months.
Curry began the season on the physically
unable to perform list and was unable to prac-
tice for the rst six weeks. He made his rst
appearance on the eld with his team on
Wednesday, starting a three-week window for
Oakland to decide whether to activate him,
release him or place him on season-ending
injured reserve.
Curry is working at all three linebacker spots
for now after playing mostly on the weakside
last season in his rst year with the Raiders.
He looked good, coach
Dennis Allen said. He
moved around well. I think
the key is to see how he
responds tomorrow and
well continue to monitor
him as we go through the
week.
Curry last practiced with
the team at OTAs in mid-
May. He was shut down
later in the offseason program and wasnt
ready at the start of training camp. Curry told
CSN California during training camp that he
underwent stem-cell treatments on both knees
using bone marrow from his hips this summer.
Curry, the fourth overall pick by Seattle in
2009, was acquired by Oakland in a midseason
trade last year for a seventh-round pick in 2012
and a conditional fth-rounder in 2013. He
played in 11 games, starting nine, for the
Raiders and had 32 solo tackles, three passes
defensed and two fumble recoveries.
He was expected to start at weakside line-
backer but was never healthy enough to prac-
tice. Now the Raiders arent sure where he will
be used if he is activated.
Well cross that bridge when we come to
it, Allen said. Thats not a decision that we
have to make right now. I think right now the
biggest thing is to see where hes at physically,
see how he responds to a couple of days of
practice, how the knee responds to it. And then
well make that decision when we need to.
The Raiders have been shufing things at
linebacker. Middle linebacker Rolando
McClain, who had usually been on the eld all
game, was taken out of the nickel package in
last weeks 23-20 loss to Atlanta.
McClain, the eighth overall pick in 2010,
played only 31 percent of the snaps against the
Falcons. Rookie Miles Burris played 55 defen-
sive snaps, taking McClains spot when the
Raiders went to two linebackers.
He responded well, and he actually, he
played well, Allen said. He had his most pro-
ductive play on a per-play basis in that football
game. I think when we went back and looked
and saw how many plays that Rolando was
playing, it had a factor in his conditioning. We
felt like him not playing quite as many plays
would help him to play better and be more
effective, and I think it had that effect in this
game.

DETROIT One win from the World
Series. Rainy or not, the Detroit Tigers will have
to wait.
Game 4 of the AL championship series
between the Tigers and New York Yankees was
postponed because of a stormy forecast
Wednesday night although Comerica Park
was still dry when the decision was made.
They kept saying it was going to come and it
never came, Tigers pitcher Max Scherzer said.
So go gure.
About an hour later, however, heavy rain
started to fall, soaking the tarp that was placed
on the ineld before the postponement.
With the Tigers seeking a sweep in the best-
of-seven series, Game 4 was rescheduled for
Thursday at 4:07 p.m. New York will send ace
CC Sabathia to the mound against Scherzer. The
Tigers will have lefty Phil Coke, who saved
Games 2 and 3, available after a day of rest.
Game 5, if necessary, would be Friday in
Detroit.
Under the original schedule, there was a good
chance Sabathia would pitch a potential Game 7
on three days rest if the Yankees rallied in the
series. Now, he might be limited to one start
and New York might need to win four games in
four days to advance.
You cannot think about Game 7 when you
need to win a game, New York second base-
man Robinson Cano said.
Yankees center elder Curtis Granderson,
benched along with third baseman Alex
Rodriguez by manager Joe Girardi on
Wednesday before the game was called, said the
unplanned night off might actually help him and
his slumping team.
Its denitely not going to hurt by any
means, Granderson said. We havent played
well to this point. Who knows? Change is
always a good thing.
The rst pitch Wednesday night was slated
for 8:07 p.m. But shortly before the scheduled
start, the crowd was informed of a delay. A radar
forecast for the Detroit area was eventually
posted on the scoreboard video screen, as if to
explain to fans why there was no baseball
despite what was still pleasant weather at the
ballpark.
The postponement was announced after a
delay of about 70 minutes. A misty rain nally
began about 15 minutes after the postponement
was announced and steady rain followed short-
ly thereafter.
The Tigers are no strangers to rain in the play-
offs. Last year, ace Justin Verlander had two
starts cut short by bad weather although both
were on the road.
A lot of people were pretty upset that
Verlander didnt get to nish his start, Detroit
catcher Alex Avila said. So, I think people
would be pretty upset if they didnt get to see
Scherzer and Sabathia nish their starts as well.
Major League Baseball is trying to protect not
only the pitchers, but also play a clean game
without having to stop and stuff like that.
After Game 1 of the 2011 ALCS at Texas was
delayed twice for a total of 1 hour, 50 minutes,
Game 2 was called off well before the sched-
uled rst pitch because of a forecast calling for
more wet weather. Then, it didnt rain that night.

NEW YORK NHL labor negotiations
will resume Thursday after the players union
reviewed managements proposal and saw it
as only a small step forward to ending the
monthlong lockout.
The NHL made the proposal Tuesday in
what it said was an attempt to preserve a full
82-game schedule. The league publicly
released the plan Wednesday.
NHL players union head Donald Fehr met
with players to formulate the unions
response. In a letter to players and agents, he
said the management plan would cost his
members more than $1.6 billion over six
years.
Simply put, the owners new proposal,
while not quite as Draconian as their previous
proposals, still represents enormous reduc-
tions in player salaries and individual con-
tracting rights, Fehr said in the letter, accord-
ing to a report by TSN. As you will see, at the
5 percent industry growth rate the owners pre-
dict, the salary reduction over six years
exceeds $1.6 billion. What do the owners
offer in return?
The lockout began Sept. 16 and last week
the league canceled regular-season games
through Oct. 24. NHL Commissioner Gary
Bettman, in announcing the new proposal,
called it a fair offer for a long-term deal and
one that we hope gets a positive reaction.
Were studying it and were trying to get
ready to give a response tomorrow, said
union lawyer Steve Fehr, brother of the union
leader.
In the midst of their third lockout since
1994, owners gave the union what the league
called a proposal to save 82-game season.
The NHL said it hoped a deal would be
reached by Oct 25 and the season would start
by Nov. 2, three weeks behind schedule.
We do not yet know whether this proposal
is a serious attempt to negotiate an agreement,
or just another step down the road, Donald
Fehr wrote. The next several days will be, in
large part, an effort to discover the answer to
that question.
NHL spokesman Frank Brown said the
league was not responding to Fehrs letter.
The NHL released details of its offer for a
six-year deal with a mutual option for a sev-
enth. The plan includes a 50-50 split in hock-
ey related revenue
The NHL proposed in July to cut the per-
centage of hockey related revenue from 57
percent to 43 percent, then increased its offer
in September to about 47 percent.
Winnipeg Jets forward Olli Jokinen called
the plan a starting point, according to The
Canadian Press.
Management included a provision to ensure
players receive all money promised in existing
contracts, but the union is concerned with
what management termed the make-whole
provision. If the players share falls short of
their $1.883 billion in 2011-12, up to $149
million in the rst year of a new deal and up
to $62 million in the second would be repaid
to players as deferred compensation.
However, the union believes that money
would be counted against the players share in
later years.
Union views NHL plan
as small step forward
By Jim Vertuno
AUSTIN, Texas Already an outcast in
cycling after a massive doping report, Lance
Armstrong absorbed hits much closer to home
Wednesday: to his wallet and his heart.
Armstrong was dumped by Nike, Anheuser-
Busch and other sponsors, and he gave up the
top spot at Livestrong, his beloved cancer-ght-
ing charity, a week after an anti-doping agency
released evidence of drug
use by the seven-time Tour
de France winner.
Armstrong stepped down
as chairman of Livestrong
in an attempt to minimize
the damage caused by the
U.S. Anti-Doping Agencys
report. USADA banned
Armstrong from the sport
for life and has ordered that
his Tour titles be stripped,
which could come before
the end of the month.
This organization, its mission and its sup-
porters are incredibly dear to my heart, the can-
cer survivor said in a statement. Today there-
fore, to spare the foundation any negative effects
as a result of controversy surrounding my
cycling career, I will conclude my chairman-
ship.
Minutes later, Nike dropped its personal spon-
sorship contract with him and issued a blistering
statement that the company had been duped by
his denials over the years.
Due to the seemingly insurmountable evi-
dence that Lance Armstrong participated in dop-
ing and misled Nike for more than a decade, it is
with great sadness that we have terminated our
contract with him. Nike does not condone the
use of illegal performance enhancing drugs in
any manner, the company said.
In 2001, the apparel company produced an
anti-doping commercial, narrated by Armstrong,
addressing allegations that he had used perform-
ance-enhancing drugs by mocking the question,
What am I on? and answering that he trained
on his bicycle six hours a day.
Brewing giant Anheuser-Busch followed
Nikes lead, saying: We have decided not to
renew our relationship with Lance Armstrong
when our current contract expires at the end of
2012.
Soon after, other sponsors also cut ties with
him. Among them were Trek bicycles and
Honey Stinger, a maker of foods and gels for
athletes.
We are in the process of removing Lance
Armstrongs image and endorsement from our
product packaging, a Honey Stinger spokesman
said. An image of Armstrongs signature that
was on the sites front page earlier in the day
appeared to be gone late Wednesday.
The FRS Co., which makes energy, diet and
health drinks, said Armstrong had resigned from
its board.
If there was a silver lining in the day for
Armstrong, it was that his major sponsors said
they will continue to support the charity, which
started as the Lance Armstrong Foundation 15
years ago.
Another longtime sponsor, sportswear maker
Oakley, said it is withholding a decision until the
International Cycling Union the governing
body for cycling decides if it will ght
USADAs sanctions against Armstrong. UCI has
until Oct. 31 to appeal USADAs sanctions
against Armstrong to the world Court of
Arbitration for Sport. If not, the penalties will
stand.
Armstrong, who Forbes has estimated is
worth about $125 million, was not paid a salary
as Livestrong chairman and will remain on the
charitys 15-member board. The duties of lead-
ing the board will be turned over to vice chair-
man Jeff Garvey, who was founding chairman in
1997.
Garvey will be responsible for big-picture
strategic planning and will assume some of the
public appearances and meetings that Armstrong
used to handle.
At the entrance to the Livestrong headquarters
in Austin, autographed framed yellow jerseys
from each tour win are mounted on a wall near
the entrance. Armstrong had a conference call
with employees on Wednesday to explain his
decision.

I said, She was ready yesterday, Croft said from Charlotte,
N.C., where the McMorrow team was waiting for a connecting
ight to Florida. They came back to me and said,
[Martinez] is a southpaw. Does that bother you? I cant really
be worried about if shes a southpaw. [McMorrow] is a world
champion. She has to be able to beat a southpaw and she has to
be able to beat a girl who hasnt fought in four years.
Croft said there is a chance, assuming McMorrow wins, she
could face Simona Galsai, an Italian left-handed ghter who is
the current WBC yweight champion.
I gure this (ght against Martinez) is good practice, Croft
said. I tell [my ghters] they have to always be ready. The good
thing about [McMorrow] is shes always ready.
The Gumina-Boyea light heavyweight ght will be the third
time these two have met and the second time this year. Gumina,
a San Bruno native, has beaten Boyea twice once as amateurs
and again in August when Gumina won a relatively easy unani-
mous decision.
Boyea told John J. Raspanti of DoghouseBoxing.com he
believes he hurt Gumina in the August bout, to which Gumina
responded: If he believes he hurt me, boxing might not be for
him. Ive never been hurt in a boxing match in my entire
life.

It appears Lance Armstrong is having a Tiger Woods-like fall
from grace and unlike Woods, there doesnt appear to be a para-
chute to slow his descent.
After the World Anti-Doping Agency stripped Armstrong of
his Tour de France title after a mountain of evidence suggested
Armstrong was not as clean as he claimed, the dominoes have
started to fall. Wednesday, Armstrong announced he was step-
ping down as Livestrong chairman, the organization he started to
fund the ght against cancer. Minutes later, Nike said it was end-
ing its relationship with him and Anheuser-Busch has also fol-
lowed suit. Radio Shack, another longtime sponsor, also said its
contract with Armstrong had lapsed and there was not a plan to

missing shots, missing the cage.
Despite falling quickly behind 2-0, Serra (2-3) did not cave
in. In fact, the Padres came right back to cut the Gators lead
in half, 2-1, scoring 12 seconds after the Gators second goal.
But Sacred Heart Prep just has too much repower. The Gators
connected on three man-advantages in the rst period as they
built a 6-3 lead after the opening seven minutes.
Serra, however, kept it close. A rebound goal from Robert
OLeary closed the Padres decit to 6-4 early in the second.
The Gators pushed the lead back to three on a Zach Churukian
5-meter penalty shot, one of two he converted in the match.
Again Serra cut the lead to two, 7-5, when Zach Zamecki
snuck a goal past Sacred Heart Prep goalkeeper Will Runkel.
Matt Blais also skipped one past Runkel late in the second
period, but that was sandwiched around Gator goals from Bret
Hinrichs and Harrison Enright to give the Gators a 10-6 lead at
halftime.
[Serra] came out ring. Any time you play Serra, theyre
not going to back down, Kreutzkamp said. We started out
shaky (defensively). But we only gave up three goals in the
second half.
In the second half, both defenses did a better job as Serra
limited the Gators to just seven goals. The Sacred Heart Prep
defense was even better, holding the Padres to just three goals.
Sacred Heart Prep did an especially good job of limiting
Serras offense in the hole set. Nearly every time the Padres
dumped the ball down to Anthony Buljan in the set, he was
swarmed by two and three Gator defenders.
That defense, you want the shots to come from up top,
Greene said of the Gators defense.
Said Kreutzkamp: We want to force them to take low per-
centage perimeter shots.
Despite what looks like a lopsided loss, Greene was pleased
with the way his team played. Not only did the Padres manage
to score nine goals against the Gators, they got those goals
from eight different players.
On a scale of 1 to 10, Id give [us] an eight, Greene said.
Im excited to score nine quality goals against them. Any
good things you can do against SHP, you can do against any-
body.

NFL GLANCE
Carrolls 11th-ranked Southern
California team in 2009.
The Cardinal even attempted a 2-
point conversion with the game way
out of reach prompting Carrolls
infamous Whats your deal? when
the coaching rivals met afterward at
mideld.
Any ill will seems long gone for
these two.
Carroll believes his Seahawks
should be undefeated.
Because of our lack of effective-
ness last year, we stepped up and went
about it differently this year, Carroll
said. Last year by our assessment
there were six games that we couldve
won and we didnt win any of them.
This year we have been in ve and
won three.
While San Francisco escaped with a
narrow win at Seattle in December,
the 49ers can nd plenty of motivation
from that game 10 months later.
Tight end Delanie Walker broke his
jaw in two places when he took a knee
to the face from Seahawks linebacker
Leroy Hill in the rst quarter and did-
nt return until the NFC championship
game.
NFC rushing leader Marshawn
Lynch ran for 107 yards as San
Franciscos defense had its streak of
not allowing a 100-yard rusher end at
36 games, going back to Green Bays
Ryan Grant in Week 11 of the 2009
season. Lynchs 4-yard touchdown
run in the fourth quarter also was the
rst TD rushing allowed by San
Francisco all season.
49ERS
Hes got to put this behind him like
us, and be set tomorrow, Bochy said.
Cain was mostly solid but lost for the
second time this postseason. Jon Jay
looped a two-out single in the third and
Matt Carpenter playing only
because Carlos Beltran was removed
with a left knee strain hit a 421-foot
homer over the right-eld bullpen.
Before that, Carpenter was 4 for 4 in his
career against Cain, all four of the regu-
lar-season hits for singles.
You know, really theres no explana-
tion, Carpenter said.
The Cardinals managed just one run-
ner after Carpenters homer until the
seventh, when David Freese doubled
with one out and Daniel Descalso was
intentionally walked. Pete Kozma sin-
gled to load the bases and Shane
Robinson inserted in a double-
switch in the top half of the inning
grounded to second, scoring Freese just
before a rain delay of 3 hours, 28 min-
utes.
Jason Motte got six straight outs for a
two-inning save the rst of his career
after the stoppage.
The Cardinals snapped the Giants
ve-game road winning streak in the
postseason, three of them this year.
Game 4 is in St. Louis on Thursday
night, with Adam Wainwright pitching
for the Cardinals. Tim Lincecum will
start for the Giants.
It was the third game delayed by rain
this postseason and a fourth, Game 4 of
the Yankees-Tigers ALCS, was post-
poned later Wednesday night. Two
games between the Yankees and
Orioles in Baltimore began late because
of inclement weather.
The Giants entered 70-22 when scor-
ing rst, including the postseason.

Group: Libya militias executed Gadhafi loyalists
CAIRO Libyan rebels appear to have summarily exe-
cuted scores of ghters loyal to Moammar Gadha, and
probably the dictator himself, when they overran his home-
town a year ago, a human rights group said Wednesday.
The report by Human Rights Watch on alleged rebel abuses
that followed the October 2011 capture of the city of Sirte in
the nal major battle of the eight-month civil war is one of the
most detailed descriptions of what the group says were war
crimes committed by the militias that toppled Gadha, and
which still play a major role in Libyan politics today.
The 50-page report, titled Death of a Dictator: Bloody
Vengeance in Sirte, details the last hours of Gadhas life on
Oct. 20, 2011, when he tried to ee the besieged city. The
longtime leaders convoy was struck by NATO aircraft as it
tried to escape and the survivors were attacked by militias
from the city of Misrata, who captured and disarmed the dic-
tator and his entourage.
Misrata was subjected to a brutal weeks-long siege by
Gadhas forces that killed hundreds of residents, and ghters
from the city became among the regimes most implacable
foes. HRW says it seems the Misratans took revenge against
their prisoners in Sirte.
The evidence suggests that opposition militias summarily
executed at least 66 captured members of Gadhas convoy in
Sirte, said Peter Bouckaert, emergencies director at Human
Rights Watch.
Israel counted Gaza
calorie needs during blockade
JERUSALEM Israeli authorities blockading the Gaza
Strip in 2008 went so far as to calculate how many calories
would be needed to avert a humanitarian disaster in the
impoverished Palestinian territory, according to a newly
declassied military document.
The military said Wednesday the guidelines were never
implemented. However critics rejected the claim, saying the
document was new evidence that Israel used food as a pres-
sure tactic to try to force Gazas Hamas rulers from power
a strategy that ultimately failed.
Israel maintained a strict blockade over Gaza from 2007-
2010. During that time, Israel limited food supplies entering
Gaza and maintained a bafing list of items that were banned
or permitted as part of a broader effort to topple the violently
anti-Israel Hamas by squeezing the economy.
In the January 2008 document, Israel determined how to
ensure that Gazans eat 2,279 calories of food each day, a g-
ure in line with World Health Organization guidelines.

BEIRUT The international envoy
to the Syrian conict on Wednesday
called on President Bashar Assads
regime to take the lead in implementing
a cease-re during a major Muslim holi-
day later this month.
Lakhdar Brahimi said rebel represen-
tatives have assured him they will also
observe the truce if the government takes
the rst step.
The Syrian people are burying hun-
dreds of people each day, so if they bury
fewer people during the days of the hol-
iday, this could be the start of Syrias
return from the dangerous situation that
it ... is continuing to slip toward, he told
reporters in Beirut.
Brahimis push to get Assad and rebels
seeking to topple him to stop ghting for
the four-day Eid al-Adha feast set to
begin Oct. 26 reects how little progress
international diplomacy has made in
halting 19 months of deadly violence in
Syria. Activists say more than 33,000
people have been killed.
Unlike his predecessor as joint U.N.-
Arab League envoy, Kofi Annan,
Brahimi has said he has no grand plan to
end Syrias civil war. Instead, he pre-
sented the truce as a microscopic step
that would alleviate Syrian sorrow tem-
porarily and provide the basis for a
longer truce.
Even a short-term cease-fire faced
hurdles. Both sides in the past have ver-
bally signed on to cease-res only to
then blatantly disregard them. And
before Brahimi spoke, Syrias govern-
ment dismissed the plan, saying the
rebels lack a unied leadership to sign
the truce.
There is the state, represented by the
government and the army on one front,
but who is on the other front? asked an
editorial in the Al-Thawra daily.
The scores of rebel units ghting a
brutal civil war against the regime have
no single leader, and many dont com-
municate with each other.

Americas favorite dietary supple-
ments, multivitamins, modestly lowered
the risk for cancer in healthy male doc-
tors who took them for more than a
decade, the rst large study to test these
pills has found.
The result is a surprise because many
studies of individual vitamins have
found they dont help prevent chronic
diseases and some even seemed to raise
the risk of cancer.
In the new study, multivitamins cut
the chance of developing cancer by 8
percent. That is less effective than a
good diet, exercise and not smoking,
each of which can lower cancer risk by
20 percent to 30 percent, cancer experts
say.
Multivitamins also may have different
results in women, younger men or peo-
ple less healthy than those in this study.
Its a very mild effect and personally
Im not sure its signicant enough to
recommend to anyone although it is
promising, said Dr. Ernest Hawk, vice
president of cancer prevention at the
University of Texas MD Anderson
Cancer Center and formerly of the
National Cancer Institute.
At least this doesnt suggest a harm
as some previous studies on single vita-
mins have, he said.
Hawk reviewed the study for the
American Association for Cancer
Research, which is meeting in Anaheim
where the study was to be presented on
Wednesday. It also was published online
in the Journal of the American Medical
Association.

Car seat, diapers, changing table, crib,
stroller, blankets, onesies: A new baby is
a bundle of joy that also costs a bundle of
cash.
Nursery decor is one area where new
parents can save some money by creating
their own design elements.
Opting for DIY doesnt mean missing
out on the fun of browsing stores and cat-
alogs: Often a splurge item such as a
$400 Jonathan Adler giraffe lamp can
serve as inspiration for a cheaper, hand-
made version, says Pam Ginocchio, co-
founder of baby design site Project
Nursery.
Handmade decorations also lend the
babys room a unique personality, she
says, and give parents a project to work
on together before baby arrives.
Here, Ginocchio, her business partner,
Melisa Fluhr, and a few other DIY design
bloggers share their favorite projects for
babys room. Whether youre creating a
cozy nest at home or seeking ideas for a
shower gift, these crafts can add warmth
and style to a little ones space.
DECOUPAGE TREE
(From Pam Ginocchio and Melisa
Fluhr, ProjectNursery.com)
Wall trees have become a popular trend
in nursery dicor; try this project in lieu of
a pricey vinyl decal.
Materials:
scrapbook paper (any size), about 20
sheets for a 6-foot tree
Mod Podge matte nish
scissors
2-inch-wide paintbrush or foam craft
brush
paper bowl or plate
ladder or step stool
Step 1: Take fabric swatches from your
babys bedding to a crafts or paper store,
and grab a mix of printed, solid and glit-
tered papers in the same color family.
Step 2: Start building the tree at the part
of the trunk where the limbs begin to
branch off. Cut or tear the paper (imper-
fect edges give a vintage feel), making
each branch the thickness and length you
want. Apply the Mod Podge to the back
of each piece with the paintbrush or craft
brush, and press the scrap against the
wall. With this glue, the piece will be
moveable at rst if you dont like your
initial placement.
Step 3: Let it grow! As the limbs reach
out and up, tear the paper thinner, just like
on a real tree. Create the tree trunk with
various-size scraps of paper using a col-
lage technique. For a cute addition, hang
the babys name off a low branch that
reaches out across the crib.
Step 4: Stack some of the leftover paper
and cut out simple leaves. Cluster them
along the branches. You can adorn the
tree with birds, butteries or even rhine-
stones.
NO-SEW BUNTING FLAGS
(From Ginocchio and Fluhr,
ProjectNursery.com)
Materials:
printed papers or fabrics
ruler
colorful ribbon or pom-pom fabric trim
hot glue gun
scissors
Step 1: At a crafts or scrapbooking
store, pick out a variety of printed papers
or fabric remnants.
Step 2: Using a ruler, draw an 8-inch
line on the back of a piece of paper or fab-
ric. This will be the distance from the
point of your triangle to the base. Turn the
ruler perpendicular to one end of the line
and make a T by drawing a line 6 inch-
es long. Use the ruler to connect the top
edges of the T to the point, making a
triangle. Cut out this rst pennant and use

it as a template for the rest.
Step 3: Line up your different-patterned ags
in the order you want. Lay them side by side so
they are pointing down and almost touching.
Apply hot glue in a line across the top edge of
each triangle and afx the ribbon or trim over-
top. (Optional: Add iron-on letters to the ags
to spell out babys name.) Once the glue dries,
hang the bunting ags like a banner or in a
zigzag pattern.
CLEAN AND COLORFUL
DRESSER DRAWERS
(From Sherry and John Petersik,
YoungHouseLove.com)
You can get a similar effect from contact
paper, which comes in a wide variety of colors
and patterns. But you can make your own if
youre looking for a different look.
Materials:
Foam craft brushes
Mod Podge matte nish
Six sheets of patterned, heavy-duty wrapping
paper (or swatches of colorful wallpaper or fab-
ric)
Step 1: Wipe the insides of the drawers with
a moist rag. If theyre musty, wipe them with
mineral spirits or Murphys Oil Soap and let
them air dry in the sun.
Step 2: After selecting six sheets of wrapping
paper (or however many drawers you have), cut
the sheets down to the size of the drawers. If all
the drawers are the same size, use the rst rec-
tangle as a template.
Step 3: Apply a thin, even coat of Mod Podge
adhesive to the bottom of the rst drawer. Mod
Podge is 100 percent water-based, so it wont
stink up babys clothes.
Step 4: Glue the cut-to-size paper rectangle
to the bottom of the drawer by pressing it along
the center and out towards the corners to elim-
inate bubbles or wrinkling. Repeat steps 3 and
4 for all drawers.
Step 5: Give the drawers four hours to dry,
then apply a thin top coat of Mod Podge over
the paper to protect against wear and tear. Let
everything dry overnight and youre left with
fresh, durably lined drawers that provide a little
dose of happy every time theyre opened.
FABRIC MIRROR
(From Carrie McBride,
ApartmentTherapy.com)
Materials:
fabric scraps
fabric stiffener
craft store mirror
cardboard
string
super glue
Step 1: When you design a space for a little
one, chances are youll end up with leftover
fabric. This project is a great way to use up
those scraps. Lay the fabric on pieces of alu-
minum foil. Brush fabric stiffener onto the
material and smooth out bubbles or wrinkles.
Let dry completely, then peel off the foil.
Step 2: Sketch a lion or other animal onto a
piece of paper and cut it out. Trace the shapes
onto the back of the stiffened fabric. Cut out
fabric shapes. The fabric stiffener will prevent
the edges from unraveling.
Step 3: Cut a small scrap of cardboard small-
er than the mirror. Punch two holes and tie a
string through them. Glue the cardboard onto
the back of the mirror. This will allow you to
hang the fabric mirror when its nished.
Step 4: Cut a large circle inside the lions
mane (or the face of your animal). Line up the
mirror in the hole and glue it to the back of the
fabric so the edges are hidden. Let everything
dry completely, then hang.
PRETTY AS A PICTURE FRAME MOBILE
(From McBride, ApartmentTherapy.com)
Materials:
8 mini frames (available at craft stores; check
the bridal section)
one larger frame
about 3 yards of ribbon, divided into four
uneven sections
decorative paper
photos or art reduced to t small frames
4 screw eyes
shing line or thin wire
glue stick
paint
polyurethane
Step 1: Paint the frames to make them color-
ful. Some may need a light sanding rst. Add a
coat of polyurethane after the paint is dry.
Step 2: If any of your frames has a support
arm on the back to prop it up, pull it off. You
want the back of the mini frame to be com-
pletely smooth.
Step 3: Put your photos or artwork in the
small frames. (You could use abstract art, pho-
tos of vintage trucks or pictures of babys
cousins, for instance.)
Step 4: To connect two small frames verti-
cally, run the ribbon behind the artwork but
inside the frame back. Cut a piece of decorative
paper the same size as each frame back and,
with a glue stick, paste it on.
Step 5: Remove the glass and backing from
the large frame. Hang the four pairs of small
frames from the large frame by twisting four
screw eyes into the back of the large frame and
then tying a ribbon to each screw eye.
Step 6: Tie a length of shing line or thin
wire to each screw eye, then tie all four pieces
together so the mobile hangs evenly. Knot the
end for attaching to a ceiling hook.

San Bruno blast.
Eight people died and 38 homes were
destroyed in the gas-fueled inferno that tore
through the bedroom community of San
Bruno on Sept 9, 2010 after one of PG&Es
pipelines ruptured.
Attorneys from the cities of San Bruno and
San Francisco, as well as the commissions
own consumer advocacy branch, known as the
Division of Ratepayer Advocates, said they
were not consulted about Mitchells appoint-
ment until days after the commission decided
to hire him as a mediator and told PG&E
about the decision.
The commission did not immediately
respond to questions about how or when the
agency hired Mitchell, and the former sena-
tors law rm did not immediately return calls
and emails seeking comment.
Commissioner Mike Florio said in an inter-
view he felt the move to inform PG&E rst
had not been well thought out.
I think we handled this rather poorly.
Announcing it before people were brought
into it was not a good idea, Florio said.
Over the past two years, the company has
faced grueling public hearings over potential
malfeasance leading up to the blast.
One proceeding, chaired by Florio along
with commission President Michael Peevey,
was intended to determine the level of nes
PG&E would face. But a commission judge
suspended the hearings last week to instead
hold a fresh round of talks between PG&E
and other parties.
Peevey said holding closed-door negotia-
tions could lead to a quicker settlement.
Consumer groups said they feared that mov-
ing from a public process to private talks
chaired by Mitchell would favor PG&E and
help the company whittle down possible nes
that could reach hundreds of millions of dol-
lars.
Why not nish the hearings? said Karen
Paull, a lawyer for the Division of Ratepayer
Advocates. Instead, we are being treated like
mushrooms ... Feed them manure and keep
them in the dark.
In a letter led Wednesday, the organiza-
tions said they dont question the talents of
Mitchell who brokered the 1998 Northern
Ireland treaty and spent two years as President
Obamas special Middle East envoy but are
concerned that he and his law rm, DLA
Piper, previously have represented public util-
ities.
PG&E declined to comment on the groups
concerns but earlier this week praised the
news of Mitchells hiring.
We are committed to resolving this as
quickly and fairly as possible for all parties,
said PG&E spokesman Todd Burke. Weve
supported negotiations that lead to a universal
settlement.
Any decision on nes brokered by Mitchell
ultimately will be considered by the full ve-
member commission.

Baby shower hosts get creative
If youre throwing a baby shower for a rela-
tive or friend, creating a suitably festive
atmosphere is part of the fun.
Some people go all out by hiring an event
planner, while others go more simply, taking
the do-it-yourself route.
Whether youre nurturing an elaborate party
plan or just want a little inspiration to get start-
ed, the Internet opens the nursery door to a
wide range of ideas from baby shower experts.
Here are a few with their favorites:
Maureen Anders and Adria Ruff, who run
the Anders/Ruff event planning company in
Charlotte, N.C., recently went with a color
scheme of aqua, mint, lemon and lime for a
gender-neutral shower. Mint and orange, gray
and yellow, and aqua and coral are also on
trend, Anders says, and even black and yellow
for a baby to bee theme.
Gender reveal showers are really popu-
lar, she says. The guests dont know if its a
boy or a girl till the mom-to-be cuts the cake
and reveals a pink or blue interior. Even the
future mom can be in on the surprise; party
planners can have the ob-gyn contact the cake
baker with the information.
Book showers are another hot trend: Guests
bring a childrens book to help build the new
babys library. Party planners A Good Affair,
in Newport Beach, Calif., created a Peter
Rabbit and Pat the Bunny theme at one
recent baby shower, in Anaheim, Calif., with
vintage rabbit books as dicor.
On the pregnancy website The Bump,
Allison Micarelli-Sokoloff suggests a
Goodnight, Moon theme, with dark blue and
white polka dots and hanging silver foil stars.
Blue lemonade with star shaped fruit, a round
cake with dark blue icing and white dots, and
starry sugar cookies as favors round out the
party elements. For an activity, she suggests
gathering each of the poems items: mittens, a
toy house, etc. and having each guest list them
in the order they appear in the story.
For their gender-neutral party, Anders/Ruff
used colorful yet inexpensive yarn to make
decorative pompoms, gift ties, even owers.
They dipped marshmallows in colored choco-
late and candy pearls to make table displays,
and served tinted macarons and paper-cone
popcorn.

how great they are and how you can't
possibly sell your home by yourself.
After all, without the proper informa-
tion, selling a home isn't easy. Perhaps
you've had your home on the market
for several months with no offers from
qualifed buyers. This can be a very
frustrating time, and many homeown-
ers have given up their dreams of
selling their homes themselves. But

The arrival of fall brings not only cooler
temperatures but also more rain. The combi-
nation of warm days and cool nights with
adequate moisture in the ground creates
ideal growing conditions for many types of
perennial seed, most notably grass seed.
September through October is the perfect
time to seed a new lawn or to overseed an
existing one. The main advantage to seeding
a lawn now is that many aggressive, warm-
loving weeds are slow to germinate at this
time of year. Cooler temperatures and
decreasing daylight favor the germination of
grass seed over many types of weed seed,
giving your grass a chance to establish itself
before faster growing weeds can overtake it.
Grass seeded in the late spring, by con-
trast, often shows good initial germination
but will face stiff competition from weeds as
summer continues. Fast growing, heat-lov-
ing weeds steal available moisture and nutri-
ents from slower growing grass. The results
are usually a disappointment.
Whether you are installing a large lawn or
a small patch of green grass in an urban
space, the same rules apply.
The best way to begin a new lawn is to
start with bare ground so you can assess
your grade. If you are working in a large
area, you may want to hire professional help
to remove existing vegetation or bring in
soil.
Start by making sure you have a slope to
your grade. Grass loves moisture but does
not like standing water. Remember that
when it rains, if the grade is perfectly flat,
water will not be able to run off. This is
especially true in areas adjacent to a house
or other structure.
It is best to have the grade slope away
from a structure. The slope only needs to be
a differential of a few inches to drain water.
Start with a reference point, such as one spot
on the foundation of your house, and work
the grade away from that point.
If you have brought in fresh soil to cover
the area, you must remove both large and
small stones before you add your seed. I use
an iron rake for this job, but many profes-
sionals prefer to use large aluminum rakes
especially designed for preparing new seed
beds.
Carefully rake the soil and remove as
many stones as you can. You will be sur-
prised how many there are, even in screened
loam. Be mindful of your grade. Once you
have the area raked smooth, there should be
a perceptible change to the grade and you
should be able to see where excess water
will flow.
You are now ready for seed. Grass seed is
surprisingly expensive, but try not to skimp.
I usually apply more than the recommended
amount, preferring to achieve a thick lawn
sooner rather than later and leaving no room
for weeds later on.
Small patches of new lawn can be seeded
using your hand to scatter the seed, but this
method takes some practice. You want to
ensure even distribution of the seed, and
grass seed is surprisingly light. It tends not
to spread out when cast from your hand.
You may want to invest in a seed distribu-
tor from your local DIY store. This simple
hand-cranked device will distribute the seed
evenly and is a real time saver if you are
seeding a large area.
I often use the seed distributor for one
application and then go over the area a sec-
ond time distributing seed by hand to ensure
thick coverage of seed. Again, dont skimp
on the seed.
After the seed is down you may want to
apply a thin layer of straw over the top to
keep moisture in until the seed germinates,
and to protect the seed from hungry birds.
Note: Do not spread hay rather than straw!
Hay contains unwanted seed.
The straw is optional. I usually rake it up
once the grass has germinated and grown a
few inches, but you can leave it and let
decompose into the soil over time. Be care-
ful not to apply the straw too thickly or it
will inhibit germination.
Keep the newly seeded lawn moist by
watering daily. Seed should germinate with-
in five to 10 days, depending on conditions.
After the seed has germinated, remember
to keep it moist but not soaking wet. One 20
to 30 minute watering with a sprinkler each
day should suffice.
Once the seed has grown to several inches,
you can start cutting it. Next spring, your
new lawn should be thick enough so you
dont see any bare ground.
Fall is perfect time to seed a new lawn
Seeding grass in the fall gives the new plants an opportunity to thrive without competition
from heat-loving weeds.

money is necessary to deal with long-
term cuts from the state and to, hopeful-
ly, avoid school closure. Opponents of
the measure, however, argue the district
has been decit spending for years and
does not have a track record of commu-
nication that can be trusted.
For many years, the district turned to
decit spending or one-time funds to
cover its budget. Last year, the Board of
Trustees directed staff to create a bal-
anced budget, which meant making cuts.
The impact to the district, like all school
districts in California, will be worse if
Proposition 30, Gov. Jerry Browns tax
initiative slated to fund education, isnt
passed next month. As a result, the dis-
trict considered closing one to two
schools in the spring. Parents, at the
meeting, pleaded for the board to keep
the schools open and give other options
a chance before closing a school.
Measure G gained many of its support-
ers as a result of that situation.
The fact is we need the money, said
district volunteer Teri Vo, Yes on
Measure G San Bruno campaign direc-
tor. We have the opportunity to deter-
mine San Brunos quality of life.
Under the ballot language, the parcel
funds could be used to retain teachers,
improve student achievement, fund spe-
cial education, reduce combination
classes, offset reductions and to modern-
ize curriculum.
Parent Scott Curtner, a San Bruno
childhood education advocate, explained
the tax will help the district. Exactly how
it will be used if passed, however, will
depend on the outcome of the state
measure and possible cuts. If both meas-
ures fail, Curtner said the district could
have up to 20 fewer days of school and
need to consider closing one or more
schools.
Chuck Zelnik, a former trustee with
the district who opposes the measure,
pointed to a lack of trust as a main rea-
son to not support Measure G. The dis-
trict and board, he said, have decit
spent for years, do not work construc-
tively together and avoiding making
tough decisions like closing a school
which could have helped the nancial
situation.
My biggest point is there is a lack of
leadership and responsibility, he said.
Zelnik would like to see the district be
more transparent with its nances and
consider closing schools to chip away at
the nancial problems before approach-
ing the community for cash. Also, he
questions what the measure would really
raise. Its estimated to bring in about $2
million if passed. However, its difcult
to say exactly how much the measure
would bring in. An exact amount would
depend on how many seniors and low-
income residents are given exemptions,
he said.

sis of the suggested alternatives.
Hal Bohner, a semi-retired attorney
who describes himself as PH1As unof-
cial spokesman, said his group has writ-
ten to Caltrans asking the agency to put
the project on hold and meet with PH1A
to discuss alternatives, such as timing
traffic lights, staggering school start
times, improving public transportation,
encouraging carpooling, expanding
school bus services or even replacing the
center divide with a movable cone ex
lane.
Caltrans own documents reveal the
agency has considered some alterna-
tives, such as timing and coordinating
trafc lights, which would cost $300,000
and yield signicant benet, Bohner
said.
When the City Council voted on the
project in June, Councilwoman Mary
Ann Nihart explained that the most
important factor driving that decision
was not commute times, but the possibil-
ity that emergency vehicles might be
delayed by Highway 1s congestion and
lack of adequate shoulders.
Bohner scoffs at this assertion.
Mary Ann (Nihart) says Caltrans
doesnt do highway shoulders? Well,
why not? This is another example of
Caltrans doing what it wants to do, he
said. If the safety problem is so bad,
why havent they asked Caltrans to
implement alternatives that can be done
sooner? Why dont they run emergency
vehicles through the quarry? Ive done
the research, and I havent found one
incident of an emergency vehicle not
being able to get through. Lets see the
records.
North County Fire Authority
spokesman Matt Lucett said he is not
aware of Highway 1 congestion causing
the failure of any emergency vehicles to
meet 911 response time requirements,
but can see the advantage to widening
the road.
We denitely would agree its a good
thing. Any time we might be able to
improve trafc ow would be benecial,
whether were responding to an incident
on the freeway or using that freeway as a
corridor to get to an incident, Lucett
said.
Although Nihart is in favor of moving
the project forward, she is not unsympa-
thetic to PH1As concerns.
Were trying to work out several dif-
ferent issues regarding the highway, and
whats best for Pacica is somewhere in
between, she said. There are 14 differ-
ent alternatives out there and they all
need to be reviewed. I dont think six
lanes is appropriate or whats going to
happen, but I also dont think Caltrans is
going to build a road through the quar-
ry.
The rock quarry at Rockaway Beach is
adjacent to Highway 1, and Nihart said
proposals to run an emergency road
through the quarry are likely to be
stymied because it is privately owned.
When Nihart and her fellow coun-
cilmembers addressed the issue in June,
they expressed misgivings about being
told by Caltrans that Pacica would have
to choose a preferred design before the
projects Environmental Impact Report
could be nalized.
PH1A chairman Pete Shoemaker voic-
es similar frustration with a process that
he describes as murky, and points out
that many of the proposed alternatives
would have relatively low costs, lower
environmental impact and would
improve traffic flow regardless of
whether the highway widening eventual-
ly did happen.
Despite PH1As criticism of Caltrans
and the Calera Parkway Project,
Shoemaker avoids painting the issue in
extremes.
The project is going to take a long
time and something of that magnitude
thats going to effect the city needs to be
done with a lot of thought and consider-
ation. ... The position of our group is
were not calling anybody stupid, he
said. Were saying weve got to have a
good conversation weve got to know
whats going on. Its a common sense
business principle; lets sit down and be
reasonable about this.

for something youve yet to accomplish, tell it like it
is. It could cause you embarrassment down the line if
the work in question should go unfnished.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Usually, you like to
play things spontaneously, and you do quite well, but
unless you plan every step of the way today, youre
likely to trip over your own feet.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Before getting yourself
involved in a joint endeavor, think carefully about the
costs and responsibilities that youd be taking on. If
things are not equally distributed, it wont work out.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Dont underestimate
your adversaries, especially if youre involved in
negotiating a critical matter. That edge you think you
have may only exist in your head.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The truth will out
itself and put you in a very embarrassing position
if you fudge the facts and pretend that youve done
something that you promised to do but have yet to
complete. Tell it like it is.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If you are tempted to cater
to your whims in order to achieve instant gratifcation,
chances are you might engage yourself in something
extremely extravagant and fnancially unwise.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Be careful not to do
anything that could jeopardize a relationship with
some key allies. Your projects and prospects need
the goodwill and support of these people.
