U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, will face a candidate
for Congress at the polls next week who has never run before
for any political ofce.
Meanwhile, U.S. Rep.
Anna Eshoo, D-Palo
Alto, faces a
Republican foe she
soundly defeated in
2010.
Speiers opponent
Debbie Bacigalupi, a
five-year San Carlos
resident, is ready to
make history, however,
by unseating one of the
areas most powerful
political figures with
more than 30 years of
experience as a lawmak-
er, she told the Daily
Journal.
Bacigalupi is a
biotech consultant with
roots as a rural farmer
who thinks the United
States is headed down the wrong road as personal property
rights erode and regionalism takes root. The Republican thinks
government is not on our side, but on our backs.
She opposes U.N. Agenda 21, a general blueprint for world-
wide sustainable growth adopted in 1992, that Bacigalupi
thinks is directly linked to regional transportation and housing
efforts that she considers to be misguided such as the One Bay

Hurricane Sandy took dead aim at New
Jersey and Delaware on Monday, with
sheets of rain and wind gusts of more
than 90 mph knocking out electricity and
causing major disruptions for companies,
travelers and consumers. But for the
overall economy, damage from the storm
will likely be limited. And any economic
growth lost to the storm in the short run
will likely be restored once reconstruc-

they stock up on extra food, water and

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.
Superstorm Sandy slammed into the
New Jersey coastline with 80 mph winds
Monday night and
hurled an unprece-
dented 13-foot
surge of seawater
at New York City,
flooding its tun-
nels, subway sta-
tions and the elec-
trical system that
powers Wall
Street. At least 10
U.S. deaths were
blamed on the
storm, which
brought the presidential campaign to a
halt a week before Election Day.
For New York City at least, Sandy was
not the dayslong onslaught many had
feared, and the wind and rain that sent
water sloshing into Manhattan from
three sides began dying down within
hours.
Still, the power was out for hundreds

More than 2,000 sheep led
through streets of Spains capital
MADRID Spanish shepherds led a
ock of more than 2,000 sheep through
central Madrid on Sunday in defense of
ancient grazing, migration and droving
rights threatened by urban sprawl and
modern agricultural practices.
Many tourists and residents were sur-
prised to see trafc cut to allow the
ovine parade to bleat its way across
some of Madrids most upscale urban
streets.
The right to use droving routes that
wind across land that was open elds
and woodland before Madrid grew from
a rural hamlet to the great metropolis it
is today has existed since at least 1273.
Every year, a handful of shepherds
defend the right and, following an age-
old tradition, on Sunday paid 25 mar-
avedis coins rst minted in the 11th
century to city hall to use the cross-
ing.
Shepherds have a right to use 78,000
miles (125,000 kilometers) of paths for
seasonal livestock migrations from cool
highland pastures in summer to warmer
and more protected lowland grazing in
winter.
The movement is called transhumance
and in Spain up until recently involved
close to a million animals a year, mostly
sheep and cattle.
Modern farming practices are howev-
er increasingly confining animals to
barns, because shepherding is costly,
according to the Ministry of Agriculture,
which has been promoting the colorful
annual Transhumance Fiesta in Madrid
since 1994.
Madrid became an important urban
center when King Philip II chose it as
the capital of his vast empire in 1561.
Some paths have been used for more
than 800 years and modern-day Madrid
has sprawled to engulf two north-south
routes. One that crosses Puerta del Sol
Madrids equivalent of New Yorks
Times Square dates back to 1372.
Spaniards are proud of their centuries-
old sheep rearing traditions and hold the
native Merino breed of sheep in particu-
lar esteem. Merinos have gone on to
form the backbone of important wool
industries in places such as Australia and
South America.

Prowler at Cruises home

The former Aragon High School water polo
coach accused of sexually abusing a 17-year-
old girl on the team also sent inappropriate
messages to another student under his super-
vision, according to prosecutors and a civil
suit led against him and the San Mateo
Union High School District by the first
alleged victim.
Joshua David Tatro, 25, of El Granada, is
facing 10 sex crime charges connected to both
cases. Unlike the rst case, however, there is
no physical contact alleged between Tatro and
the girl, said District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.
News of Tatros new charge comes as the
girl in the rst case sued her former coach and
the district for failing to know he was a risk to
students and adequately train staff to protect
them.
In the suit led Oct. 25 in San Mateo
County Superior Court, the girl also claims
much of the alleged activity happened on
school grounds or while supervised during
school events. The suit claims Tatro and the
district are responsible for negligence in hir-
ing and supervision, general negligence and
battery.
Tatro used his power as a teacher to sexu-
ally abuse [her] and other students, according
to the suit which states the
conduct between her and
Tatro occurred between
Oct. 31, 2011 and April
19, 2012. Tatro committed
the acts with minors to sat-
isfy his perverted sexual
appetite, the suit stated.
The Daily Journal is not
naming the girl because
she is the alleged victim of
a crime and a minor at the time. The civil suit
also does not name any other alleged victims
specically.
The district directed inquiries to its attorney
who could not be reached for comment.
Police began investigating Tatro after the
girl, then a 17-year-old water polo player at
the school, alerted authorities about the rela-
tionship which reportedly involved the
exchange of intimate photographs and some
level of sexual activity but not intercourse.
The conduct, according to the suit, included
text messages and emails inviting her to meet
at his home, in his car and during school hours
and on school grounds.
Tatro had worked at the school for one year
as a water polo and swim coach. His arrest
came just after the end of the season and he
was not hired back.
The second girl also met Tatro while on the
water polo team. She told authorities he com-
mented on how she looked good and asked her
to friend him on Facebook around October
2011. Through December 2011, he also asked
her to come over to his home for sleepovers
and to watch movies but she generally dis-
missed the messages, Wagstaffe said.
The communication ended in December
2011 but picked up again in March after the
girl turned 18, Wagstaffe said.
The school is responsible for Tatros actions
because it provided the water polo team and
its coach facilities, tools and equipment which
enabled his abuse, the suit claims.
The school and the district knew or should
have known that Tatro posed an unreasonable
risk of harm to students under his supervi-
sion, according to the suit. The district also
failed to train teachers and staff on sexual
abuse policies and procedures, compassion for
those who have been victims of sexual abuse
by teachers and not to cover up sexual abuse
by teachers, the suit argues.
Prior to ling the lawsuit, the girl led a
claim with the district which was denied in
July.
Tatro is scheduled to stand trial Jan. 7 on the
six felony counts of sexual penetration, two
counts of sending harmful matter with an
intent to seduce and two counts of communi-
cating with a minor to set up a lewd act. He
has pleaded not guilty and is free from cus-
tody on a $25,000 bail bond.
County remembers DV victims
Domestic violence victims will be commem-
orated Tuesday morning in an annual event
meant to remember those lost and highlight the
desire to help survivors.
Over 6,000 San Mateo County children wit-
nessed domestic violence in their home and
over 300 adults were provided emergency shel-
ter and transitional housing in 2011 alone, said
Supervisor Rose Jacobs Gibson in an announce-
ment of the day. Given the scope of this prob-
lem, it is imperative that the county of San
Mateo continue to provide the support survivors
need to protect themselves and their children
from perpetrators of domestic violence.
Jacobs Gibson along with Supervisor Don
Horsley and the Domestic Violence Council are
hosting the Day of Remembrance Tuesday
morning. The event includes a ceremony honor-
ing survivors and domestic violence service
providers. Community partners will also offer
resources.
Domestic violence shouldnt need high pro-
le cases to make us aware it exists in our com-
munity, said Supervisor Don Horsley in a pre-
pared statement. We have the obligation to do
our best to protect victims and to prevent people
from becoming future domestic violence vic-
tims.
The event is 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday,
Oct. 30 in Board Chambers, 400 County
Government Center, Redwood City.
The county has declared October as Domestic
Violence Awareness Month.

SAN FRANCISCO The district
attorney and the mayor said Monday
they are seeking legislation to prohibit
the reinstated San Francisco sheriff from
overseeing any domestic violence pro-
grams in his department while hes on
probation in such a case.
District Attorney George Gascon and
Mayor Ed Lee said
they were not satis-
fied with Sheriff
Ross Mirkarimis
response to Gascons
request to recuse
himself from duties
in his ofce related to
domestic violence
offenders.
Mirkarimi told the
Associated Press last week that he feels
he has no conicts of interest, even
though he is on three years of probation
for a misdemeanor conviction stemming
from a New Years Eve argument with
his wife, Venezuelan actress Eliana
Lopez.
Gascon said the proposed ordinance
would prevent ofcials charged with
felonies from handling cases involving
the same crimes for 10 years.

The former child psychiatrist
sent to a mental hospital rather
than standing trial again on
molestation charges said the
decision was made before his
arrival that he would never be
restored to competency, a treating
psychologist testified yesterday for
the prosecution which claims he
exaggerated dementia to avoid the
potential of prison.
Dr. Shawna Leppert, a staff psy-
chologist at Napa State Hospital,
said William Hamilton Ayres was
guarded and resistant during an
interview when she brought up his
case and told her were not going
to work together because the out-
come of his hospitalization was
already determined.
Ayres did have some degree of
dementia, said Leppert, but she
noted discrepancies between his
claims of memory loss and what
she actually
observed. For
example, she
testified, Ayres
would say
things like I
dont think Im
going to under-
stand that or
i mme d i a t e l y
claim to forget
her name and role but later demon-
strate the ability to retain new
information by playing and even
winning games against her and
another patient.
Leppert was the first witness for
the prosecution after a day and a
half of doctors called by the
defense to question the hospitals
formal conclusion that Ayres is
competent and has been malinger-
ing, or exaggerating his condition.
The report also noted Ayres had
deliberately avoided treatment and
medication meant at restoring his
competency for trial.
The competency hearing deter-
mines if Ayres, 80, will be recom-
mitted to the hospital or begin a
criminal trial on several counts of
child molestation of former male
patients under the guise of medical
exams between 1988 and 1996.
Unlike a previous competency trial
last year, which ended with a hung
jury and prosecutors acquiescing to
Ayres commitment, this verdict
will be rendered by Judge Jack
Grandsaert alone instead of a jury.
At Napa, Ayres, like other com-
mitted patients, was expected to
participate in treatment aimed at
restoring his competency, such as
medication, therapy and discus-
sions about his case. Ayres initially
refused to take an anti-psychotic
drug used as a mood stabilizer and,
when his wife encouraged him to
try, he asked Why? So I can go
back to prison? Leppert said.
Prior to his commitment last fall,
Ayres had been free from custody
on bail posted shortly after his
2007 arrest. Grandsaert previously
refused to grant him new release on
bail unless he is declared compe-
tent again and criminal proceed-
ings reinstated.
Ayres was the former president
of the American Academy of Child
and Adolescent Psychiatry and his
practice included private clients
and referrals from both the juvenile
justice system and school districts.
Doctors called by the defense said
Ayres former reputation and level
of skill played roles in his attitude
and refusal of treatment because
losing his abilities and becoming
now a patient were embarrassing to
him.
In 2009, a jury in Ayres original
criminal trial split in various
amounts on every count.
The trial continues this morning.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The Pittsburg man accused of
gunning down a well-known East
Palo Alto activist at a San Mateo
shopping center two years ago
because he thought the man, his
childhood friend, was out to get him
began jury trial yesterday.
The rst week of trial for Gregory
Leon Elarms Sr., 60, will focus on
pretrial motions and jury selection
before attorneys begin laying out
their versions of his alleged involve-
ment in the June 9, 2010 death of
David Lewis.
Lewis was shot
in the torso in
the parking lot
of Hillsdale
Shopping Center
and Elarms
remained at
large for months
until contacting
police himself.
Elarms, who was temporarily
committed to a state mental hospital
as unt for trial, is charged with
first-degree murder, use of a
weapon and the special allegation of
lying in wait. He faces life in prison
without parole if convicted.
Elarms is accused of following
Lewis, 54, from the San Mateo
Medical Center where he was an
outreach worker to the shopping
center parking lot and pulling a 44.-

During a preliminary hearing on
the murder and gun charges, a San
Mateo police detective testied that
Elarms believed gangmembers were
after him and that Lewis, once his
friend, was now his opponent.
Lewis uttered the name Greg
before dying but police made no
arrests until contacted by Elarms six
months after the shooting.
Elarms prosecution was on hold
for the better part of a year while he
was hospitalized in a state mental
facility as incompetent but returned
to San Mateo County after doctors
concluded he is now able to aid in
his own defense.
Elarms remains in custody with-

Bomb scare clears school
A bomb threat reported at Fair Oaks Childrens Clinic in
Redwood City cleared the adjacent Hoover Elementary
School yesterday as a bomb-sniffing dog searched the
grounds.
Police asked the school to conduct a voluntary evacuation
after the report came in about 2:18 p.m., police said.
No bomb was found.
Suspect identified in string of coastal thefts
Over the past several months, numerous vehicle burglaries
and auto thefts have been reported in coastal communities and
a suspect is being sought for questioning,
according to the San Mateo County
Sheriffs Ofce.
Through evidence and ongoing investiga-
tions, Jennifer Leigh Prince has been iden-
tied as a suspect in several of these cases,
according to the Sheriffs Ofce.
Prince is usually in the company of either
an unknown white or Hispanic male while
committing her crimes and has been seen
driving several different vehicle makes and
models, according to the Sheriffs Ofce.
Police are asking anyone who comes in contact with Prince
to call 911 immediately and to get any description of clothing,
associates, vehicle/license plate, direction of travel, etc., with-
out putting themselves in harms way.
Some of these thefts have resulted in the victims residences
being burglarized shortly after their vehicles were either
stolen or broken into, according to the Sheriffs Ofce. The
anonymous witness line is (800) 547-2700.

Doug Mackintosh, Mike Alifano and
Gary Riddell will learn soon whether
they will face a recall election for their
seats on the Coastside Fire Protection
District board.
The recall effort was initiated after the
three board members moved earlier this
year to establish a stand-alone fire
department on the coast and ditch its
contract with the California Department
of Forestry and Fire Protection.
Those who want to stay with Cal Fire
turned in nearly 10,000 signatures last
week to the San Mateo County Elections
Ofce, which has until Nov. 25 to vali-
date them.
At least 2,714 valid signatures on each
petition must be validated by the
Elections Ofce for a recall election to
take place, likely early next year.
Marshall Ketchum, who heads the
recall effort, reported on the website
keepcalfire.com that 3,290 signatures
were collected to recall Alifano, 3,366
signatures were collected for Riddell and
3,327 were collected for Mackintosh, the
current president of the board.
The three voted in July to form a stand-
alone re department and to start search-
ing for a new re chief.
The vote was 3-2, with fellow board
members Gary Burke and Ginny
McShane voting against the proposal.
Cal Fire proponents say a stand-alone
re department will be too costly and
short-staffed and are emboldened by a
San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury
reports that indicated Cal Fire serves the
coast well.
A stand-alone re department will rely
on unbudgeted overtime and will cost at
least $1.4 million per year more than Cal
Fire over the next ve years, recall propo-
nents said.
But Mackintosh, Alifano and Riddell
contend Cal Fire is not responsive to the
needs of the coast.
The Cal Fire contract expires in June
2013.
Alifano and Mackintosh told the Daily
Journal yesterday that regardless of the
recall effort, Cal Fire will not likely serve
the coast after the contract expires.
They have notied us that they will be
gone, Mackintosh said about Cal Fire.
Alifano suspects many of the signa-
tures will be invalid. But he said he hopes
the petitions are validated so the commu-

County counting recall signatures
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Utility work will soon be taking place
around Burlingame, a precursor to a
larger streetscape project that is still
being designed.
The rst phase of electric and natural
gas line work by Pacic Gas and Electric
will take place in November and from
Jan. 9 through March 30. Work will
include relocating transformer vaults
and installing new streetlights and
pedestals for decorative lighting, accord-
ing to a city notication. The work will
also accommodate Burlingames new
sewer main, water drain, storm main and
lower the culvert.
This will be a precursor to the actual
construction, which we hope to begin in
the spring of next year, said Public
Works Director Syed Murtuza.
To make Burlingame Avenue more
pedestrian friendly, city ofcials gave
the conceptual go-ahead to change park-
ing from slanted to parallel and thin the
avenues two lanes to a total of 20 feet.
Changes requested also included widen-
ing sidewalks from 10 feet to 16 feet,
which would require changing parking
to parallel spots; and creating bulbouts
to allow for smaller pedestrian crossing
areas. Design work is under way.
Murtuza helps the project will go out to
bid in December or January and be
awarded in February allowing for con-
struction to start in the spring.
First, utilities like PG&E, AT&T and
Comcast will get utility work done.
PG&Es tentative schedule includes
conducting work on California Drive,
between Lorton and Burlingame
avenues, in November. Then, work on
Burlingame Avenue, between Hatch
Alley and El Camino Real, will be com-
pleted between Jan. 9 through March 30,
according to a notice on the citys web-
site.
No Parking signs will be posted 48
hours prior to the start of construction.
Trafc control will be in place during
construction. Also, gas service may be
interrupted but shutdowns will be coor-
dinated. Such work will be completed
outside of regular business hours,
according to the city website.

Dutch Uncle

By David Espo and Julie Pace
WASHINGTON Eight days
before the election, President
Barack Obama switched from cam-
paigner to hands-on commander of
the federal response to Superstorm
Sandy as it barreled across the
Eastern Seaboard. Republican Mitt
Romney scaled back his appear-
ances and urged supporters to do
your very best in donating to relief
efforts.
The political pace quickened on
Monday even without the custom-
ary clash of rallies and rhetoric.
Romneys allies put down $1.2 mil-
lion for a last-minute television ad
campaign designed to make
Pennsylvania competitive or at
least appear so and the roll of
early voters swelled past 15 million
in scattered states.
With the race
in its final full
week, most
national polls
showed the two
p r e s i d e n t i a l
rivals separated
by a statistically
i n s i g n i f i c a n t
point or two,
although others
said Romney had a narrow lead for
the overall popular vote.
But the election will be won or
lost in the nine most competitive
states. Republicans claimed
momentum there, but the presi-
dents high command projected
condence. And Romneys increas-
ingly narrow focus on Iowa,
Wisconsin and Ohio suggested he
still searched for a breakthrough in
the Midwest to deny Obama the 270
electoral votes needed for victory.
The president changed roles
quickly during the day, highlighting
the advantages of the incumbency
as long as events go smoothly.
He scrapped a morning campaign
appearance in Florida, boarded Air
Force One for a bumpy ight to the
nations capital and appeared before
reporters in the White House not
long afterward.
Were making sure that food and
water and emergency generation is
available for those communities that
are going to be hardest hit, he said.
At the same time, he soberly warned
that heeding evacuation orders from
local authorities was paramount for
those in the storms path.
Do not delay. Dont pause.
Dont question the instructions that
are being given, because this is a
serious storm and it could potential-
ly have fatal consequence if people
havent acted quickly, he said.

WASHINGTON Whoever wins
the U.S. presidential election will
likely struggle to manage the biggest
economic threats hell face.
Thats the cautionary message that
emerges from the latest Associated
Press Economy Survey.
Europes recession will persist
deep into the next presidential term,
according to a majority of the 31
economists who responded to the
survey. A weaker European economy
would shrink demand for U.S.
exports and cost U.S. jobs. Yet
theres little the next president can do
about it.
An even more urgent threat to the
U.S. economy, the economists say, is
Congress failure so far to reach a
deal to prevent tax increases and
spending cuts from taking effect next
year and possibly triggering another
recession. Yet as President Barack
Obama has found, the White House
cant force a congressional accord.
And whether Obama or his
Republican challenger Mitt Romney
wins Nov. 6, hell likely have to deal
with one chamber of Congress led by
the opposing party. Polls suggest the
Senate will remain in Democratic
hands after the election and the
House in Republican control.
Its not like theres a clean slate
for someone to do what they want,
says Joshua Shapiro, chief econo-
mist at MFR Inc.
Still, there are some ways in which
the economists think the White
House will be able to drive the econ-
omy.
The next president, for example,
could help lift growth and reduce
unemployment by backing lower
individual and corporate taxes and
looser business rules, more than 70
percent of the economists say.
Survey: Economic ills may defy next president
NATION/WORLD 8

BEIRUT Syrian ghter jets pounded
rebel areas across the country on Monday
with scores of airstrikes that anti-regime
activists called the most widespread bombing
in a single day since Syrias troubles started
19 months ago.
The death toll for what was supposed to be
a four-day cease-re between the regime of
President Bashar Assad and rebels seeking his
overthrow exceeded 500, and activists
guessed the governments heavy reliance on
air power reected its inability to roll back
rebel gains.
The army is no longer able to make any
progress on the ground so it is resorting to this
style, said activist Hisham Nijim via Skype
from the northern town of Khan Sheikhoun.
Activists said more than 80 people were
killed nationwide Monday while videos post-
ed online showed ghter jets screaming over
Syrian towns, mushroom clouds rising from
neighborhoods and residents searching the
remains of damaged and collapsed buildings
for bodies. One video from Maaret al-Numan
in the north showed residents trying to save a
boy who was buried up to his shoulders in
rubble. Another showed the dead bodies of a
young boy and girl laid out on a tile oor.
The airstrikes focused on rebel areas in
the northern provinces of Aleppo and Idlib,
as well as on restive areas in and around
the capital Damascus. The regime has been
bombing rebel areas in the north for
months, but had sparingly used its air force
near the capital, presumably to avoid iso-
lating its supporters there.
But analysts say that rampant defections
and rising rebel capabilities have lessened the
regimes ability to take back and hold rebel
areas, making air strikes its most effective
way to ght back.
Syrian regime launches airstrikes U.S. seeks Algerias
support in possible Mali move
ALGEIRS, Algeria U.S. Secretary of
State Hillary Rodham Clinton sought Algerias
assistance on Monday for
any future military inter-
vention in Mali, pressing
the North African nation to
provide intelligence if
not boots on the ground
to help rout the al-Qaida-
linked militants across its
southern border.
Clinton, on the rst stop
of a ve-day trip overseas,
met with Algerian President Abdelaziz
Bouteika as the United States and its allies
ramped up preparations to ght northern Malis
breakaway Islamist republic.
When Malis democratically elected leader
was ousted in a military coup in March, Tuareg
rebels seized on the power vacuum and within
weeks took control of the north, aided by an
Islamist faction. The Islamists then quickly
ousted the Tuaregs and took control of half the
country.
Survivors criticize
Myanmar govt over clashes
SITTWE, Myanmar Survivors of ethnic
clashes in western Myanmar lashed out at the
government Monday for failing to prevent vio-
lence between Muslims and Buddhists that has
displaced more than 28,000 people over the last
week.
The crisis, which rst began in June, has
raised international concern and posed one of
the biggest challenges yet to Myanmars
reformist President Thein Sein, who inherited
power from a xenophobic military junta last
year.
The latest violence between ethnic Rakhine
Buddhists and Rohingya Muslims began Oct.
21 and has left at least 84 people dead and 129
injured, according to the government.

WASHINGTON The number of violent
crimes reported to police decreased 3.8 per-
cent last year to 1.2 million, the fth straight
year of declines, the FBI announced Monday.
Meanwhile, the total number of property
crimes reported to law enforcement agencies
went down by 0.5 percent to 9 million, the
ninth consecutive year that gure has fallen.
Property crimes resulted in estimated losses
of $156.6 billion.
The latest declines mark the continuation of
a nearly two-decade drop in crime levels a
trend that almost no one in the eld of crimi-
nology predicted, said Professor John
Caulkins of Carnegie Mellon Heinz College.
The trend, said Caulkins, is a reection of a
range of many factors, including policing
practices.
A drop in the number of people in the peak
crime-age category of teens to 25-year-olds
also contributed to the crime reductions,
Caulkins said, but added that if this were
only a story of demographics, we would
never have had this kind of substantial
decline.

Letters to the editor
By Garth Pickett
M
uch has been written about the
Boy Scouts of Americas long-
standing practice of keeping a list
of individuals who are deemed unt for
membership, known as the ineligible volun-
teer les (IV les), and a few individuals
from local scouting units who were found in
those les. The media has dubbed these the
Perversion Files, and many articles miss
key points on the issue of protecting youth
from abuse in scouting. As president of the
Pacic Skyline Council, I want to correct the
misinformation about the disclosure of these
les and discuss what scouting is doing
about this important issue.
The IV les exist to help BSA remove and
keep out individuals whose actions are incon-
sistent with the standards of scouting, and
whose tness to participate is in doubt.
Though not a perfect mechanism, the les
have long been, and remain, a valuable extra
step taken by scouting in screening adults for
membership, which few national organiza-
tions undertake even today. Some criticize
the condentiality of the les, asserting these
secret les somehow protect abusers.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
BSAs condential reporting system recog-
nizes that not every report of suspected abuse
is legally actionable or can be publicly dis-
closed and in some cases may not be totally
true; but we want to encourage reporting so
as to aid in keeping questionable individuals
out of scouting programs. Scouting uses the
condential IV les to remove individuals
from scouting more quickly and effectively
than if they were publicly available or did not
exist at all.
There is no intent to
shield or protect abusers
within scouting, through
secrecy or otherwise. In
fact, whenever suspicions
of abuse become known
to local scouting leaders,
BSA policy is to report
suspected abuse to law
enforcement or child protective services, and,
in California, our professional scouters are
mandated reporters. Moreover, most IV les
reect information already publicly known.
Of the 1,247 nationwide Ineligible Volunteer
Files recently released (covering the period
of 1959 to 1985), the police, courts and pub-
lic were already aware of most information
contained in the les.
Are children safe in scouting? As leaders
and parents, we can emphatically say Yes!
A University of Virginia study of some 1,600
BSA Ineligible Volunteer les was conducted
by Dr. Janet Warren, who found the inci-
dence of abuse in scouting programs was
very low (two per 100,000 vs. 70 per
100,000 in the general population). She con-
cluded youth were signicantly safer in
scouting programs than elsewhere in their
communities.
Over the past 20 years, the Boy Scouts
have developed a series of specic procedur-
al safeguards for protecting scouts by screen-
ing adults and leaders during membership
registration, including among other require-
ments, national criminal background check
clearances through LexisNexis, a reputable
independent company under contract to BSA,
and screening against the national BSA data-
base of Ineligible Volunteers. Further, all reg-
istered adults and leaders take the BSAs
Youth Protection Training at least every two
years as a requirement to maintain member-
ship in our annual registration process for
each unit. There are also booklets on the sub-
ject provided to each child and parent in the
scouting program. Parents are welcome at all
scouting activities. Scoutings Two-Deep
Leadership approach requires at least two
adults for all activities (at least one of whom
needs to be registered and thus screened),
resulting in an expectation that no youth is
ever alone with an adult (other than the
scouts parent) during any scouting activity.
Further, scouting has mandatory reporting
policies. Scouting also trains adults and
youth alike to recognize, resist and report
any suspected abuse and to prevent bullying
and hazing, including cyber bullying.
While scouting cannot erase mistakes in
the past, BSA has become a national leader
and role model of youth protection, and our
policies and procedures are widely studied
and implemented by other organizations. We
continue working to improve our policies and
training in order to further improve the safety
of our scouts.
Thank you for your attention.
Garth Pickett is the council president of
Pacic Skyline Council of Boy Scouts of
America.
World Series celebration
Editor,
As I listened to the reworks and horns
celebrating the Giants win of the World
Series, I am reminded of Frank Scafanis let-
ter to the editor, Whats with all the commo-
tion? in the Nov. 3, 2010 edition of the
Daily Journal. The clipping has been on my
refrigerator since the teams last win in 2010.
If only we were so united, so jubilant about
the end of injustice and suffering in our
world.
When Mr. Scafani heard the celebratory
noise after the 2010 World Series, he thought
certainly the wars had ended and our troops
were coming home, or Bush and Cheney and
their cabal of war criminals were nally
being held to answer for their war crimes or
there was nally peace in Palestine.
Mr. Scafanis recent excellent letter to the
editor, Final Debate in the Oct. 27 edition
of the Daily Journal, points out the impor-
tance of our third-party candidates, including
Jill Stein (Green Party) and Rocky Anderson
(Justice Party). Their dedication to issues
such as ending drone warfare, the job-
killing Tran-Pacic Partnership, developing
a green economy and the NDAA deserve our
attention. Congratulations, San Francisco
Giants. If only we could be so happy about a
brighter future for all people.

issues facing our country are addressed, or
not addressed, Miss Feders well-reasoned
article presents a remarkable contrast to the
irrational noise on cable television and parti-
san talk radio. More power to our nations
youth; may their eyes always shine brightly
and may they never lose their courage and

Its time for honesty
in San Mateo County
Editor,
No on Measure B is a good example of
dishonesty. Supervisors Carole Groom and
Rose Jacobs Gibson were appointed to their
position; they were not elected. Groom was
appointed by Rose Jacobs Gibson and just
two other supervisors against tremendous
opposition. The board was vigorously lob-
bied by Shelly Kessler and Bill Nack to
appoint Carole Groom even though an elec-
tion was better for the voters and democra-
cy.These two supervisors should recuse
themselves from this subject because of their
personal benet from being appointed, but
instead they form the NO on B committee.
They dont mention this in their letter.
For those who dont know it the campaign
costs for the last two supervisor seats were
$458,000 for Don Horsley and $550,000 for
Dave Pine.
Lets send them a message: Vote yes on
Measure B.

Last-minute
costume ideas
F
orget vampires and witches and
demons and creepy little girls who
crawl out of possessed videotapes.
Those folks look-
ing for something
truly blood-cur-
dling to be this
Halloween need
search no further
than their own
backyards or local
newspaper. Truth is
truly stranger than
ction and no
ghoul or goblin can
compare to some
of the last-minute
costume possibili-
ties this year.
Take that white sheet from past ghost get-
ups and dye it a lovely blush shade. Now
youre pink slime, the meat ller that terried
even the most staunch of carnivores earlier this
year. After years of E. coli-soaked veggies
claiming a spot on the top Halloween lineup, it
is about time meaty remnants get a shot.
Still got those inappropriate costumes from
years dressed as undercover ACORN agents or
any number of politicians with clay feet and
lustful hearts? Pin on an I deserve birth con-
trol button and claim to be Sandra Fluke.
Oooooh! Scary! Fight back by throwing
aspirin at her!
Or, add some bolts at the temples, paint your
face green and still tell people your name is
Sandy Sandy the Frankenstorm causing a
media restorm this week as it hits the East
Coast.
Girl Scouts are also pretty frightening. Just
ask the pro-life, anti-Planned Parenthood set.
Same goes with Boy Scouts, both for those
with homophobic streaks and those freaked out
by the hefty les chronicling years of potential
lewd acts and suspicion. See? An equal oppor-
tunity costume!
Tan mom is easy enough, sadly. A little
spray, some bleached hair, a young child
done!
Add some sequins, a Pretty Woman-inspired
dance routine and claim to be contestants on
Toddlers and Tiaras. Or, scream for sketti
and Go-Go Juice whats really scary is
Honey Boo Boo and her clans escalating level
of popularity.
Got a collar and some curly dog ears? Even
Uncle Poodle can make an appearance while
simultaneously recycling that Al Gore
masseuse costume from 2010.
If the old costume veers more fowl than
Fido, there are two terrorizing possibilities.
The rst is Chick-l-A. The other, Big Bird.
To the right crowd, either creature is enough to
induce shivers.
Want to keep the costume down to a single
piece of clothing? Try a vintage Spinal Tap
shirt and tell people you are inicting fungal
meningitis. A stretch, but still.
A hoodie? Beyond frightening to
Neighborhood Watch groups in Florida.
Or, just slip on a power tie and an American
ag. Spend the night ignoring 47 percent of
the people you encounter, Mitt Romney.
Dont care to attend a party? Avoid the
shindig then later claim your costume was the
U.S. Anti-Doping Agency and you were just
treating the attendees as if they were Lance
Armstrong. You are dead to me!
Or, tell the host you were at the festivities all
along in the empty chair pretending to be
President Barack Obama. Goodness knows the
Romney fans nd that a bone-chilling possibil-
ity. Anyone else desperate for a last-minute
costume can spend the night speaking to the
chair. Dirty Harry accouterments are optional.
And those who still think Halloween would-
nt be properly celebrated without an appear-
ance by a more traditional monster can simply
grab a jar of bath salts, act loopy and chew on
peoples ears. They are, of course, a zombie.

NEW YORK Remember when
President Grover Cleveland ran for a
second consecutive term, Jack the
Ripper spread terror in London and
Kaiser Wilhelm II became German
emperor?
Yes, its been that long.
On Monday, shortly after midday, the
New York Stock Exchange announced
that it would close stock trading for a
second day Tuesday because of a once-
in-a-century storm. Once in a 124-year
storm is more apt. The last time trading
was halted for two consecutive days
because of weather was in 1888.
This time, instead of snow drifts 40
feet high, surging water threatens to
crest between 6 and 11 feet. And instead
of the Blizzard of 1888, it is the more
benign sounding, but equally disruptive,
Hurricane Sandy.
Its a monumental event, and we take
it very seriously, said Larry Leibowitz,
chief operating officer of NYSE
Euronext, the company that operates the
New York Stock Exchange. Its not a
hyped-up drama.
Leibowitz spoke shortly after 2 p.m.
EDT, following a series of conference
calls with stock brokerage rms, regula-
tors and ofcials during which a con-
sensus emerged to close markets for a
second day. As for Wednesday, he said
he fully hopes the exchange would
open.
Nasdaq, another major stock
exchange, said it was optimistic, too.
As the storm approached Monday,
water cascaded over seawalls in lower
Manhattan and a highway running along
the islands East Side nearby was ood-
ed in parts.
Inside the exchange, the lights were
ablaze early Monday but, aside from
security workers, few humans were pres-
ent. There were no specialists on the
oor matching buyers and sellers of
stocks, and there were no traders.
At a Duane Reade drugstore a block or
so away, there were more signs of life.
One man was buying candles, scented,
and asking for extra matches, as another
walked out clutching a 12-pack of beer.
The uncertainty generated by the
storm comes at the start of a big week in
the United States. This is the last full
week before next Tuesdays presidential
election and culminates Friday with the
release of Octobers employment report,
which many analysts think could have an
impact on the vote. Labor Department
ofcials are still hopeful that the report
can be released on time, but they
acknowledge that the storm could cause
a delay.
Originally, the NYSE had planned to
close just its exchange oor and allow
traders to buy and sell stock electronical-
ly. Then it decided to shut down elec-
tronic trading, too. The NYSE said it
was worried about putting staff that were
needed to help run the electronic trading
in danger.
Much of New Yorks Financial District
was in a mandatory evacuation zone, but
not the exchanges building at 11 Wall
Street.
NYSEs Leibowitz said he was also
worried that trading volume would be
low because many investors would take
the day off. The fear was that just a few
trades could whip stock around like the
storm outside, sending prices surging
one minute or plunging the next. As
automatic trading by computers has
come to dominate stock trading, it was a
fear voiced by other Wall Street experts.

DETROIT And the winner is ...
Japan.
Japanese brands took the top seven
spots in Consumer Reports annual reli-
ability rankings, pushing aside their U.S.
and European rivals. Toyota Motor
Corp.s Scion, Lexus and Toyota brands
took the top three spots and the Toyota
Prius C, a subcompact hybrid, got the
best overall score. Mazda, Subaru,
Honda and Acura were close behind.
The rankings, released Monday, pre-
dict the reliability of 2013 model-year
vehicles based on surveys of Consumer
Reports readers. This year, 800,000
people submitted information on 1.2
million vehicles from the 2010 to 2012
model years. The rankings are critical
for auto companies, since Americans
frequently cite Consumer Reports as a
main source of car-buying advice.
Ford and Lincoln, once top perform-
ers, plummeted to the bottom of this
years rankings because of persistent
problems with glitchy touch screens and
bumpy transmissions. Ford was also
hurt because three normally reliable
models the Ford Escape, Ford Fusion
and Lincoln MKZ are all new for
2013, so Consumer Reports couldnt
predict their reliability.
We listen closely and value feedback
on our vehicles whether its from cus-
tomers or third parties, such as
Consumer Reports, Ford said in
response to the rankings. We remain
absolutely committed to continuously
improving and providing the highest-
quality vehicles to our customers.
Also near the bottom were Chrysler
Groups Chrysler, Dodge and Ram
brands, which have been getting a fast
makeover since partnering with Italys
Fiat three years ago. Consumer Reports
says models with more features and
more powerful engines, like the V-8 ver-
sions of the Chrysler 300 and Jeep
Grand Cherokee had the most issues.
The best-performing U.S. brand was
Cadillac, from General Motors Co.
Volkswagen AGs luxury Audi brand
made the biggest strides in this years sur-
vey, climbing 18 spots to No. 8. It was the
best-performing European brand. Glitch-
free new models like the A7 sedan got
high marks from Jake Fisher, Consumer
Reports director of automotive testing.

The biggest reneries in the Northeast
shut down or throttled back on Monday
in advance of Hurricane Sandy, and oil
prices fell sharply as it appeared the
massive storm will reduce demand.
Phillips 66 shut down its Linden, N.J.
refinery, the second-biggest in the
Northeast at 285,000 barrels per day.
The biggest refinery in the area,
Philadelphia Energy Solutions, was
nearly shut. Most other big reneries in
the Northeast were running at reduced
capacity.
Sandy is powerful enough to down
trees and powerlines and cause wide-
spread ooding. Businesses could also
be shut for days. If so, demand for gaso-
line and other oil products would drop
sharply.
The power outages and the shutdown
of major cities may take a toll on
demand unlike anything we have seen
before, wrote Phil Flynn, a senior mar-
ket analyst for Price Futures Group, in a
report on Monday. The impact on
demand may not last for hours but more
than likely for days, he wrote.
Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at Oil
Price Information Services, said he
expects the drop in demand for oil and
rened products will be about as signif-
icant as weve seen since Katrina made
landfall in 2005.
Crude oil prices fell $1, or 1.1 percent,
to $85.32 a barrel in trading on the New
York Mercantile Exchange. The Nymex
was closed on Monday because of the
storm and evacuation in New York, but
electronic trading continued.
Google unveils another
phone, larger Nexus tablet
SAN FRANCISCO Google is
cramming a few more gadgets on to
already crowded holiday shopping lists.
The devices announced Monday
include the latest in Googles line of
Nexus smartphones and a larger version
of the 7-inch Nexus 7 tablet, which the
company began selling in July. Its also
adding cellular capabilities to the Nexus
7 and doubling the capacity of existing
models.
The Nexus 4 smartphone is being
made by LG Electronics Inc. and fea-
tures a minor update to Googles
Android operating system, which now
powers more than 500 million devices
worldwide.
Pandora refreshes
iPhone, Android apps
LOS ANGELES Internet radio
company Pandora is adding more func-
tionality to its mobile apps showing
lyrics and artist information and making
it easier to share self-crafted stations
with friends as companies intensify
efforts to lure mobile advertising dollars.
Pandora is essentially bringing the fea-
tures of its website to users of its apps for
Apple and Android mobile devices. The
app for iPhones is being released Monday,
while an Android version is expected to
follow soon. Pandora also said it is releas-
ing a version for Microsofts Windows
Phone 8 early next year.
Two top executives leaving Apple
NEW YORK Apple Inc. shook up its
executive ranks Monday, saying the head
of its store operations is leaving after just
six months on the job and the long-serving
head of its iPhone software development
operations is exiting next year.
Apple didnt say why retail senior vice
president John Browett and iOS software
SVP Scott Forstall were leaving, but both
have presided over missteps this year.
Browett cut stafng hours at Apples
retail stores, a move the company reversed
and acknowledged as a mistake. Forstalls
division launched a software update in
September that replaced Google Maps
with Apples rst mapping application. It
quickly drew unfavorable comparisons
to the software it was replacing, and
Apple apologized.

Its one thing to know what needs
to be done. Its another to actually
accomplish it.
Thats what faced the Aragon
football team Friday afternoon as
the Dons, trailing Terra Nova 31-26,
faced a fourth-and-16 from the
Tigers 31-yard line with less than a
minute to play. Aragon coach Steve
Sell said he was just looking to pick
up the rst down. Quarterback Nat
Blood and receiver Aldo Severson
had other ideas. Blood targeted
Severson at the 15 and, between two
defenders, Severson made the catch,
his 11th of the game, and went into
the end zone for his fourth touch-
down of the game to give the Dons a
surprising 32-31 victory.
If it touches his hands,
[Severson] pretty much catches it,
Blood said. Pretty much any pass
to him is a good pass.
Severson nished the game with
11 catches for 187 yards, while
Blood threw for 234 yards and four
touchdowns. One could not have
done it without the other and that is
why they are this weeks Daily
Journal co-Athletes of the Week.
As a coach, you kill yourself for
dumb play calls you make. Dont
get too cute. Throw it to your best
guy, said Aragon coach Steve Sell.
(I gured) if were going to go
down, well go down giving our best
guy a chance to make the play.
Many teams have a quarterback
who can throw, but no receivers to
catch it. Or, a very good receiver
Aragons dynamic duo

Aragon quarterback Nat Blood, above, and receiver AldoSeverson, above right, have developed into one of the most lethal combinations in the PAL.
In a 32-31 win over Terra Nova, Blood threw for 234 yards while Severson caught 11 passes for 187 yards and four touchdowns.
I
t is only appropriate that the San
Francisco Giants World Series victo-
ry parade will be held Wednesday on
Halloween, because the 2012 playoff edi-
tion of the Giants was a collection of zom-
bies the team that would not die.
Ill admit it, I twice
wrote the Giants as
dead, during both the
National League
Division Series
against the Reds as
well as the National
League
Championship Series
against St. Louis. In
each of those series,
San Francisco was
one loss away from
elimination.
But they refused to
close the casket lid. Each series, this collec-
tion of the undead would not be repelled.
The Reds, who had not been swept in three
straight home games all season, succumbed
to the voodoo that the Giants possessed.
Facing the defending World Series champi-
on Cardinals in the NLCS, again, the
Giants mojo was too much for the opposi-
tion to handle.

The Menlo School football team is going to
need South City to lose next week if the Knights
want to share a piece of the Peninsula Athletic
Leagues Ocean Division championship.
But Menlo quarterback Jack Heneghan has
done his best to keep the Knights in the mix.
Against Sequoia, Heneghan had a career per-
formance. The junior completed 31 of 41 passes
for 393 yards and four touchdowns. He also led
the Knights in rushing with 74 yards and three
more scores on 11 carries as Menlo buried the
Cherokees 56-21.
Its the second week in a row the Knights
broke the 50-point barrier and the fth time in
eight games.
Anthony Hines, El Camino
After being held to just 55 yards rushing in
the rst half, Hines exploded for 161 yards on
just four carries in the second half to nish
with 216 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries
in the Colts 32-0 win over Mills.
Hines broke off a 65-yard scoring run and
later added an 84-yard run from his own 15
down to the Mills 1.
Justin Ewing, Capuchino
With another 300-yard performance, his sec-
ond in a row, Ewing not only has the Mustangs
poised for the PALs Lake Division title, he con-
tinues to close in on the Central Coast Section
single-season rushing record of 2,798 yards set
by Burlingames Onan Reyes in 1997.
Ewing nished with 303 yards and three
touchdowns on 42 carries in the Mustangs 30-
20 win over San Mateo Friday night. Ewing now
has 2,223 yards on the season. He needs 576
yards over the next two weeks to break the
record.

water polo team, recorded 37 saves in four

GLENDALE, Ariz. On an almost perfect
Monday night for Alex Smith, the San
Francisco 49ers exed their NFC West domi-
nance with a 24-3 attening of the Arizona
Cardinals.
Smith completed 18 of 19 passes for 232
yards and three touchdowns two to
Michael Crabtree and one to Randy Moss
to help San Francisco (6-2) open a two-game
lead in the division and send Arizona (4-4) to
its fourth straight lost.
Smiths only incompletion was dropped by
a wide-open receiver.
Smith was 14 of 15 for
146 yards and two touch-
downs, both to Crabtree, as
the 49ers built a 17-0 half-
time lead.
Moss caught a 47-yard
TD pass, dodging tacklers
down the sideline on a play
that seemed to turn back
the clock to the receivers
prime. With the catch, he
tied Terrell Owens for fourth on the NFL
career touchdown list with 156.
Smith, who tied a career high with the three
touchdown passes, spread out his completions
to 10 receivers. Crabtree led the way with ve
catches for 72 yards.
Arizonas defense, supposed to be the
teams strength, missed tackle after tackle in
an embarrassing nationally televised perform-
ance at home. The 24 points were the most
allowed by the Cardinals this season.
Led by Smiths near-perfect precision pass-
ing, the 49ers methodically dominated from
the start. The San Francisco quarterback had
the best completion percentage of his career,
and he would have been perfect had Delanie
49ers shut down Arizona on Monday Night Football

As exercise Balfour
contract option, decline Drew
OAKLAND The Oakland Athletics exer-
cised their $4.5 million contract option for closer
Grant Balfour on Monday, while the AL West
champions declined their half of a $10 million
mutual option for shortstop Stephen Drew.
Drew receives a $1.35 million buyout, though
assistant general manager David Forst said the
team would continue to negotiate with his repre-
sentatives and try to sign him. Balfour would have
been due a $350,000 buyout if the As had turned
down the option. General manager Billy Beane all
but said when the season ended in a ve-game
division series loss to the Detroit Tigers this
month that he would keep Balfour and do all he
could to maintain the current roster.
Its great, Balfour said. I would like to stay
longer. Hopefully we can work something out. I
believe we are young and have a lot of good times
ahead for the Oakland organization and the fans.
Balfour, the 34-year-old Australian right-han-
der, went 3-2 with a 2.53 ERA, 24 saves and 75
appearances spanning 74 2-3 innings during his
second season with Oakland and ninth in the
majors. He began the season as the closer, lost the
job, then earned it back again down the stretch as
the As returned to the playoffs for the rst time
since 2006. Oakland swept the Texas Rangers in
the nal three games of the season to capture the
AL West in surprising fashion.
Drew, acquired in an August trade with
Arizona, batted .250 with ve homers and 16
RBIs in 39 regular-season games for the As.
Drew took over at shortstop and Cliff Pennington
shifted to second base. Beane has since moved
Pennington to the Diamondbacks in an Oct. 21
trade that brought outelder Chris Young to
Oakland.
Beanes plan is for Scott Sizemore out all
season following a knee injury that required sur-
gery after he was injured on the rst day of full-
squad spring training workouts to return to his
natural spot at second, so there is a hole to ll at
shortstop for now.
Oakland As brief
By Josh Dubow
ALAMEDA The rst convincing victory
of the season was enough for coach Dennis
Allen to give his Oakland Raiders players a
welcome day off midway through the season.
The 26-16 victory in Kansas City gave the
Raiders two straight wins following a narrow
loss at undefeated Atlanta as they are showing
signs of hitting their stride
following a rough opening
month.
The once-dormant run-
ning game has picked up,
the penalties are way down
and Oakland (3-4) is doing
a much better job of gener-
ating, as well as prevent-
ing, big plays.
But Allen is still far
from satisfied with his
teams performance, seeing many areas for
improvement. The most notable one is in the
red zone, where the Raiders managed just one
touchdown in six trips Sunday and are the sec-
ond-worst team in the NFL at converting trips
inside the 20 into touchdowns.
Theres a lot of things we werent happy
with yesterday, Allen said Monday. You
cant look at the margin and say, well, because
you won by more, you played better. We got to
look at, we were able to win a football game.
Theres still a lot of things that we got to get
better at, a lot of things we got to correct. We
got a short time to get it done.
Oaklands rst two wins in September
against Pittsburgh and last week in overtime
against Jacksonville came on eld goals on
the nal play of the game.
There was no such drama against the Chiefs
as the Raiders broke out to a 14-point lead in
the third quarter and were never threatened the
rest of the way, which led Allen to reward his
players with their rst victory Monday of the
season.
With the big lead, the Raiders were able to
run the ball effectively late, gaining 95 yards
in the fourth quarter after having just 110
yards rushing in the fourth quarter the rst six
games.
Theres times during the season where
players need a mental break and a physical
break, he said. I felt like, we had the bye,
weve gone through three straight tough
weeks, it was time to give them a little bit of a
mental break as much as it was anything else.
So, theyll be back in here Wednesday. There
was a lot of them in here today already look-
ing at the tape.
A week after starting at and needing to
rally to beat a Jacksonville team missing star
running back Maurice Jones-Drew and start-
ing quarterback Blaine Gabbert for most of
the game, the Raiders were in control most of
the time against the Chiefs after Carson
Palmer threw an interception on the rst play
from scrimmage.
Oakland didnt commit another turnover the
rest of the way, capitalized on four giveaways
by Kansas City, committed only two penalties
for the rst time in two years and held Chiefs
big-play running back Jamaal Charles to 4
yards on ve carries.
The biggest change the past three weeks
since Oakland went into the bye with a 1-3
record has been a signicant increase in big
plays on offense, while limiting those same
plays defensively.
Allen denes an explosive play as a run of
at least 12 yards or a pass play of at least 16.
After allowing two more explosive gains per
game before the bye, the Raiders are plus-four
per game since then.
I think two of the most critical variables in
winning football games are explosive plays,
whether it be gaining explosive gains or elim-
inating explosive plays defensively, and then
the turnover/takeaway ratio. We call that the
double-positive, Allen said. If you win both
those areas you generally win football games
in the National Football League.
NOTES: CB Ron Bartell, who broke his
shoulder blade in the opener, will practice for
the rst time on Wednesday and is on sched-
ule to be activated from short-term injured
reserve Nov. 11 against Baltimore. ... Among
the notable injuries from the game were a turf
toe for RB Mike Goodson and ankle injury for
C Stefen Wisniewski. .... LB Aaron Curry will
practice again this week and could be activat-
ed from the physically unable to perform list
for the game against Tampa Bay. He has to be
activated by next Wednesday or he cant play
for the Raiders this season.
Big win earns the
Raiders the day off

A 57-year-old poker professional from
Sacramento, Calif., was eliminated in ninth place
at the World Series of Poker on Monday night,
leaving eight players competing for $8.53 mil-
lion.
Steve Gee was eliminated less than two hours
into play at the no-limit Texas Hold em main
event after testing Russell Thomas with a tough
wager for the last of his 11.4 million in chips.
Thomas called and showed a pair of queens,
better than Gees pocket eights.
Gees ouster means he makes no additional
money after a break of more than three months.
All nine nalists were paid nearly $755,000, the
ninth-place prize, after making the nal table in
July.
Thomas moved to roughly 40 million in chips
after the hand, second at the table.
If I knew he had pocket queens, I would have
checked, Gee said after being eliminated. Im
disappointed. I told myself I wasnt going to play
scared.
The six professionals and three amateurs were
trying to gamble their way to a seven-gure pay-
day. The top seven players will win at least $1
million each.
The players tested each other from the start,
re-raising chips back and forth in moves that will
ultimately result in everyone besides the win-
ner, perhaps gambling their stacks against one
another.
On the rst hand of play, Gee bluffed Thomas
on a pot worth several million chips, though
Thomas held just nine high and wouldnt have
been able to consider playing the hand to the
end.
Michael Esposito, 44, of Seaford, N.Y., played
while uncertain about the status of his waterfront
home as Superstorm Sandy hit the East Coast.
His son, James Esposito, said neighbors have
said the streets are ooded, but the family is
focused on the card game in the Nevada desert.
Odds are likely that its ooded, he said. I
know I saw a picture of the house three doors
down the streets are totally ooded.
Michael Esposito, a commodities broker, is
one of three remaining amateurs at the start of
the nal table.
They include 21-year-old Jake Balsiger, an
Arizona State senior looking to become the
youngest main event champion ever, and
Thomas, a 24-year-old insurance actuary whos
helping Aetna adjust to new regulations passed
under President Barack Obamas signature
health care overhaul.
The chip leader heading into the nal table
was 24-year-old poker professional Jesse Sylvia,
who began the nal stretch with 43.9 million in
chips, just over 22 percent of the chips in play.

SAN FRANCISCO The
Giants championship formula is a
familiar one, just with new faces all
over the diamond two years later:
stellar starting pitching backed by a
shut-down bullpen, a late-season
surge and a manager making all the
right moves.
San Francisco captured its second
World Series title in three seasons
with a stunning sweep of the Tigers,
and only catcher Buster Posey was in
the lineup for the Game 5 clincher in
2010 at Texas and also the nale at
Comerica Park in 2012.
Were just happy right now,
Posey said. Its an unbelievable
feeling.
Two of the four games against
Detroit were started and won by a
pair of pitchers not even on the
World Series roster in 2010, and in
Ryan Vogelsongs case he wasnt
even in the majors back then.
The only regular still around from
that team is Posey, and the catcher
had to rebound from devastating
ankle and leg injuries sustained in a
home-plate collision in late May
2011 to put together an MVP-caliber
season and become the NL batting
champ. He played far more than any-
body envisioned his body would
allow.
This time, a couple of bench
warmers from that last October run
shined for San Francisco MVP
Pablo Sandoval and Game 1 winner
Barry Zito. The lefty Zito was left
off the postseason roster for all three
rounds in 2010.
Just as a player, certainly you
want to play on a team that wins the
World Series. And to go out there
and contribute, theres nothing like
that, Zito said. We were very
adamant that we have to step on their
throats. We saw what they did to
New York.
Marco Scutaro and Hunter Pence
were this years midseason addi-
tions, with Scutaro following up
Cody Ross in 2010 to earn NL
championship series MVP honors.
While Scutaro produced the timely
hits, including a go-ahead single
with two outs in the 10th inning of
Sundays 4-3 win, Pence did plenty
and became the motivational speaker
of this group. He reminded his team-
mates to keep the focus even when
they jumped out to a surprising 3-0
Series lead against the Tigers.
These Giants showed they could
rally back again and again and
also thrive when playing out in front.
They fell behind 2-0 to the
Cincinnati Reds in the division
series, then became the rst team in
major league history to rally back in
a ve-game series by winning three
straight road games. They did it
again against the defending champi-
on St. Louis Cardinals, erasing a 3-1
decit thanks largely to Zitos Game
5 victory at Busch Stadium that sent
the Giants back to the Bay Area to
nish it off in San Francisco.
Six victories in six elimination
games.
The thing that made this team so
special is just playing as a team, car-
ing for each other, Pence said. We
had our backs against the wall and
we knew it wasnt going to be easy.
Its not supposed to be. That was one
of our mottos, and we went out there
to enjoy every minute of it and it was
hard-earned. Just an incredible,
incredible group of guys that fought
for each other.
San Francisco ended the season on
a seven-game winning streak.
Reliever George Kontos summed
it up the best he could in one Twitter
post late Sunday:
WORLD.....SERIES.....CHAMPS!
!!! Thats all that needs to be said...
This team is special.... We did what
no other team could.
Much like that 2010 team of
castoffs and misfits as they
referred to themselves, manager
Bruce Bochy had to make some
tough calls. He moved struggling
starter Tim Lincecum to the bullpen,
and he became a dominant reliever.
Another spot-on move by Bochy,
who became just the 23rd manager
to win two or more World Series
titles.
Nobody gured the Giants would
leave AT&T Park with a 2-0 lead
Thursday night for the Motor City
and not have to come back home for
a Game 6, or 7 for that matter.
Bochy, for one, is tired of hearing
people call it luck.
For us to play like we did against
this great club, I couldnt be prouder
of these guys, Bochy said. To be
world champions in two out of the
last three years, its amazing. Believe
me, I know how difcult it is to get
here, and I couldnt be prouder of a
group of guys that were not going to
be denied.
Giants found similar winning formula to win again

HONOR
And once they got the World Series, the Giants ipped the
script. Unlike Hollywood movies in which the living eventual-
ly gure out a way to kill the undead, San Francisco became a
collection of super zombies and guratively ate the heart of
the Detroit Tigers.
Look at the Giants starting pitching during the game they
lost, a human shell of the rotation that dominated the 2010
playoffs. But the starters had a rebirth and found their form
that led them to the 2010 championship.
The leaders of this story were two guys who saw limited or
no playing time during the run to the 2010 title Pablo
Sandoval and Barry Zito.
If there ever was a resurrection story, its Zito. The 126-mil-
lion-dollar man never came close to living up to his contract
his rst ve years with the Giants. Yet Zito came back from
the dead and had a strong regular season. After a brain-dead
outing against the Reds, one in which he only lasted into the
third inning, he rebounded and dazzled the Cardinals in a
must-win Game 5 in the NLCS. He kept his focus in Game 1
of the World Series and all but killed Detroits chances when
he out-dueled Justin Verlander, the anointed best pitcher in
baseball.
And then there is Sandoval, who was used mostly in pinch-
hitting spots in 2010 because he was in such a slump. Again,
he revived his career and went down in World Series history
by becoming the third player to hit three home runs in one
game (Babe Ruth did it twice). That propelled him to an 8 for
16 performance and earned him the World Series Most
Valuable Player award.
But like any good zombie movie, there wasnt just one or
two undead wreaking havoc on the living, the Giants used a
group effort to win their second title in three years. Marco
Scutaro was a soul-eating hitting machine, especially during
the NLCS as he almost single-handedly beat the Cardinals.
Left elder Gregor Blanco ripped out hope of Tigers fans
with a number of spectacular catches, while shortstop
Brandon Crawford mesmerized the opposition by gobbling up
everything that came his way.
Then there was Tim Lincecum, the struggling starter who
was a ghost of himself during the regular season, rising like a
ghoul from the bullpen and leaving opponents wondering
what just happened as he consistently mowed down one batter
after another.
Right elder Hunter Pence left Giants fans shrieking for
most of the postseason, as he continued to look like a doppel-
ganger of Aaron Rowand, consistently swinging at pitches in
the dirt, out of the strike zone. But even Pence came to life
when he was needed the most, starting rallies with a walk or a
hit or nishing them by driving in a key run.
So dont be scared Giants fans when the city of San
Francisco is awash in orange and black Wednesday, for what
started as a nightmare for the Giants became a nice, pleasant
dream that turned into reality. There will be no tricks
Wednesday, just treats for Giants Nation.

LOUNGE
who does not have a quarterback to get him the ball. Blood and
Severson have quickly become one of the most dangerous quar-
terback-receiver combinations on the Peninsula.
The rest of the league is catching on as well. Sell said he has
seen more Cover-2 defenses the last two weeks when a cor-
nerback covers the receiver, who then gets help from the safe-
ty behind him than he has seen in his entire coaching career.
Theyre doing this against defenses designed to take away
the pass, Sell said.
Its the third time in four games Severson has eclipsed the
100-yard receiving mark, while Blood has thrown for over 200
yards in two of those games.
The big thing about Nat, he is so tough and fearless in the
pocket. His mechanics (during games) look like they do in
practice when hes throwing against air, Sell said.
Those mechanics, however, were not always so good. Blood
said Sell told him at the beginning of summer practice he
believed the Dons had the personnel to throw the ball more than
they have in the past. But Blood admits he had a lot of work to
do from the beginning of summer to the start of the season.
To be honest, I wasnt very good at the beginning of sum-
mer, Blood said.
But he worked to get better and worked to develop a rela-
tionship with Severson on the eld.
They work on it in practice and they practice it at game
speed, Sell said. That throw (on the game-winning score
against Terra Nova) was an absolutely perfect throw.
Both Severson and Blood said that the rapport the two have
together has gotten to the point that each of them are stunned
when they dont hook up.
Even during practice, if the ball is a little off to the side, Im
like, What happened? Severson said. And when I dont
make a catch, he looks at me with this blank stare.
Despite seeing a passing attack give the Dons a legitimately
balanced offense, Sell said he wonders if he is relying too much
on the air attack. Its easy to see why: Sell and the Dons have
not had a combination like this that can take pressure off
Aragons bread and butter, the running game.
Sell admits, though, its fun and a relief to see the passing
game opening up the running game.
I question myself the most when I feel like I give up on the
run too soon, Sell said. Now, its really helped our run game.
Even Severson said he realizes he cant get the ball on every
play, but thats OK with him.
If I dont get the ball, its opening holes for other people,
Severson said.

San Francisco receiver Michael Crabtree, left, scores one of his two
touchdowns during the 49ers 24-3 win over Arizona.
Walker not dropped the ball when he
was wide open on a crossing route in
the rst half.
A 10-play, 77-yard drive that con-
sumed just over 6 minutes of the rst
quarter put San Francisco up 7-0. On
third-and-goal from the 3, Smith
threw a sidelines pass to Crabtree,
who outfought Patrick Peterson for
the ball and the touchdown.
A flurry missed tackles, most
notably an open-eld whiff by Sam
Acho, helped Ted Ginn Jr. return a
punt 35 yards to the Arizona 45 in
the second quarter. Daryl
Washington sacked Smith to help set
up a third-and-23 from the Cardinals
46. But Smith found Crabtree over
the middle for 22 yards, just a yard
shy of the rst down. David Akers
43 yard eld goal made it 10-0 with
5:58 left in the half.
Crabtree beat Peterson again for
San Franciscos second touchdown.
Smith threw over the middle to the
receiver, who caught the ball, then
fooled Peterson with an inside move
into the end zone to make it 17-0
with 1:41 left in the half. The 49ers
drove 68 yards in eight plays, again
overcoming a sack, this one by
Calais Campbell, that made it sec-
ond-and-goal from the 16. Smith
threw 7 yards to Mario Manningham
to set up the TD toss to Crabtree.
The Cardinals were booed off the
eld by the home crowd at the half.
Things didnt get any better for
the home team in the third quarter.
On third-and-9, Smith threw 30
yards to Crabtree, who evaded a host
of tacklers. Then on third-and-8,
Smith tossed a short pass to Moss,
who sidestepped a series of would-
be defenders all the way to the end
zone, putting San Francisco ahead
24-0 with 7:27 left in the third quar-
ter.

addition to compensation PG&E said it would
pay affected families. Arguments started on
Monday. Those representing the families will
have a chance to respond today, after which
Dylina is expected to make a decision.
In determining malice, Lyons argued there
would need to be proof that the company
knew of the defective state of the pipe prior to
the Sept. 9, 2010 explosion and re that killed
eight and destroyed 38 homes. Since the com-
pany had not completed tests revealing the
problems with the seam that contributed to the
explosion, PG&E could not have known the
line would fail, he argued. Given the informa-
tion the company had, the line should have
been safe. He called the misinformation a
mix-up or mistake that resulted in a tragic
event.
PG&E already agreed to negligence. Two
acts of negligence do not add up to malice or
probable injury to others, Lyons said.
Michael Danko, an attorney representing
those affected by the explosion, argued that
PG&E should have known that the line was
dangerous given, if nothing else, the age of it.
The companys own guidelines require it to
consider pipes of a certain age to have possi-
ble defects, he said. Danko compared the gas
line in Glenview neighborhood of San Bruno
to a time bomb that, with mathematical cer-
tainty, was bound to explode.
Whether punitive damages are on the table
during the jury trial wasnt the only discussion
in court Monday.
Dylina allowed inclusion of some property
damage requests and limited who could
include emotional distress as a result of the
incident.
Another point of contention was a history of
the utility companys problems. For example,
whether those suing could refer back to a
1981 explosion and re in San Francisco.
PG&E attorney Gayle Gough explained that
was caused by a third party puncturing the
line. Therefore, it is not pertinent to the trial at
hand, Gough said.
I hope were not litigating 1981, she said.
However, Frank Pitre, an attorney who rep-
resents about 75 victims of the blast, said its
an example of knowledge. First responders to
the 1981 explosion did not have the right tools
or knowledge to correctly deal with the situa-
tion and were criticized by the National
Transportation and Safety Board as a result,
he said. That incident was 30 years before San
Bruno but rst responders found themselves
in a similar situation in 2010, he said.
A trial date for the cases is set for January.

batteries.
Preliminary estimates are that damage will
range between $10 billion and $20 billion.
That could top last years Hurricane Irene,
which cost $15.8 billion. If so, Hurricane
Sandy would be among the 10 most costly hur-
ricanes in U.S. history. But it would still be far
below the worst Hurricane Katrina, which
cost $108 billion and caused 1,200 deaths in
2005.
Assuming the storm simply disrupts things
for a few days and it doesnt do signicant
damage to infrastructure, then I dont think it
will have a signicant national impact, Mark
Zandi, chief economist at Moodys Analytics,
said Monday.
The economic impact could be more severe
if the storm damages a port or a major manu-
facturing facility such as an oil renery, Zandi
noted.
The economy expanded at an annual rate of
2 percent in the July-September quarter. Zandi
said he isnt changing his forecast for similar
growth in the current October-December quar-
ter of 1.9 percent. Economic activity in
October and November might slow if factory
output declines and some workers are laid off
temporarily and seek unemployment benets.
But the economy could strengthen in
December as companies rebound.
Heres how the storm has begun to affect key
areas of the economy:
AIR TRAVEL
Flights in the Northeast are all but stopped
for at least two days. Airlines have canceled
nearly 12,500 ights for Monday and Tuesday
from Washington to Boston. The disruptions
spread across the nation and overseas, strand-
ing passengers from Hong Kong to Europe.
Total airline cancellations have already sur-
passed those from Hurricane Irene last year
and are on par with the 14,000 that were
scrapped due to the snowstorm that pounded
the East Coast early last year. The Airports
Council International, a trade group, said that
even if the storm damage turns out to be minor,
it could be a week before operations are back
to normal at major East Coast airports.
Eric Danielson was trying to y Monday
from San Francisco to Norfolk, Va., to start a
new job.
It was supposed to be only a two-hour lay-
over here in Atlanta, Ga., and now its begin-
ning to be a 28-hour layover until tomorrow,
Danielson said.
Wall Street analysts expect carriers like
JetBlue, United and Delta to suffer a short-
term hit to earnings as they spend money to
shufe crews and planes away from and then
back to the East Coast.
RETAILERS
The nations big stores are expected to lose
billions, and the losses could extend into the
crucial holiday shopping season. Sales at
department stores, clothing chains, jewelers
and other sellers of non-essential goods are
expected to suffer the most.
The industry is entering the holiday season,
when many retailers collect up to 40 percent of
annual revenue. Retailers, excluding restau-
rants, could lose at least $25 billion in sales
this week, estimates Burt Flickinger III of
retail consultancy Strategic Resource Group.
Even home improvement chains and grocers
that will benet from shoppers stocking up on
emergency supplies before the hurricane and
cleaning and repair items afterward could lose
sales in the long run if overstretched con-
sumers feel they must scale back.
If youre spending $400 on a generator, that
could hurt discretionary purchases, said Brian
Sozzi, chief equities analyst at NBG
Productions.
Flickinger now estimates that holiday sales
in November and December will rise 2.1 per-
cent over last year instead of the 3.2 percent he
had originally predicted.
A better idea of Hurricane Sandys effect
will come Thursday, when some major retail-
ers like Target Corp. and Macys will report
sales gures for October.
The storm is affecting small retailers as well
as large ones. For many small businesses,
opening depended on whether employees lived
close by or could work remotely. Businesses
vulnerable to wind and water damage and
power outages were forced to close. The storm
also ruined business trips, meetings and pre-
sentations.
At Angelos Civita Farnese, a restaurant in
Providence, R.I., the lunchtime crowd didnt
surface as usual on Monday. By 12:30 p.m.,
barely 10 customers were inside, and owner
Bob Antignano had no hope of seeing the 200
to 250 he usually serves for lunch.
Its a wasted day and it looks like tomorrow
probably will be as well, Antignano said.
The loss of two days revenue will wipe out
his prot for the month. He will face losses if
the restaurant lost power. He would have to
close, and the food in his walk-in refrigerator
and freezers could spoil.
INSURANCE
The cost to insurers is expected to rival the
insured damage from Hurricane Irene last
year. Damage from Irene cost insurers roughly
$5 billion, according to Sterne, Agee & Leach
Research. Because the storm is hitting a high-
ly populous region, with one of the highest
concentrations of wealth in the world, the
damages are likely to run into the billions, say
analysts at Morgan Stanley.
CoreLogic, a private data provider, estimates
that there are 284,000 homes worth about $88
billion in the hurricanes path.
U.S. insurers have more than $500 billion in
capital, according to Morgan Stanley. That
gives them enough of a cushion to withstand
losses from most scenarios. Chubb, Allstate
and Travelers are the insurers most likely to
suffer losses, because they claim a large share
of the market in areas where the storm looks
likely to hit. If losses top $10 billion, global
reinsurance companies would also take a hit.
AUTOS
The effect on auto sales may be minimal,
some analysts say. Many people who planned
to buy cars in the last few days of the month,
when deals tend to peak, bought cars over the
weekend instead, said Jesse Toprak, an analyst
with car buying site TrueCar.com.
As a result, TrueCar isnt changing its fore-
cast for October U.S. auto sales. Toprak pre-
dicts that more than 1.1 million vehicles will
be sold in October, up 11.5 percent from the
same month last year.
Forecasting rm LMC Automotive predicts
that 1 percent to 3 percent of new-car sales,
around 20,000 vehicles, will be lost because of
the storm. But LMC analyst Jeff Schuster pre-
dicts that those sales will simply shift to
November. So the storm might have little or no
overall effect on sales.
Toprak also notes that dealers could gain
sales once the storm is over if people need to
replace damaged vehicles.

of thousands of New Yorkers and an estimated
5.2 million people altogether across the East.
And the full extent of the storms damage
across the region was unclear, and unlikely to
be known until daybreak.
In addition, heavy rain and further ooding
remain major threats over the next couple of
days as the storm makes its way into
Pennsylvania and up into New York State.
Near midnight, the center of the storm was
just outside Philadelphia, and its winds were
down to 75 mph, just barely hurricane
strength.
It was nerve-racking for a while, before the
storm hit. Everything was rattling, said Don
Schweikert, who owns a bed-and-breakfast in
Cape May, N.J., near where Sandy roared
ashore. I dont see anything wrong, but I
wont see everything until morning.
As the storm closed in, it converged with a
cold-weather system that turned it into a
superstorm, a monstrous hybrid consisting not
only of rain and high wind but snow in West
Virginia and other mountainous areas inland.
It smacked the boarded-up big cities of the
Northeast corridor Washington, Baltimore,
Philadelphia, New York and Boston with
stinging rain and gusts of more than 85 mph.
Just before Sandy reached land, forecasters
stripped it of hurricane status, but the distinc-
tion was purely technical, based on its shape
and internal temperature. It still packed hurri-
cane-force wind, and forecasters were careful
to say it was still dangerous to the tens of mil-
lions in its path.
Sandy made landfall at 8 p.m. near Atlantic
City, which was already mostly under water
and saw an old, 50-foot piece of its world-
famous Boardwalk washed away earlier in the
day.
Authorities reported a record surge 13 feet
high at the Battery at the southern tip of
Manhattan, from the storm and high tide com-
bined.
In an attempt to lessen damage from saltwa-
ter to the subway system and the electrical
network beneath the citys nancial district,
New York Citys main utility cut power to
about 6,500 customers in lower Manhattan.
But a far wider swath of the city was hit with
blackouts caused by ooding and transformer
explosions.
The citys transit agency said water surged
into two major commuter tunnels, the Queens
Midtown and the Brooklyn-Battery, and it cut
power to some subway tunnels in lower
Manhattan after water owed into the stations
and onto the tracks.
The subway system was shut down Sunday
night, and the stock markets never opened
Monday and are likely to be closed Tuesday
as well.
The surge hit New York City hours after a
construction crane atop a luxury high-rise col-
lapsed in the wind and dangled precariously
74 oors above the street. Forecasters said the
wind at the top the building may have been
close to 95 mph.
As the storm drew near, airlines canceled
more than 12,000 ights, disrupting the plans
of travelers all over the world.
Storm damage was projected at $10 billion
to $20 billion, meaning it could prove to be
one of the costliest natural disasters in U.S.
history.
Ten deaths were reported in New Jersey,
New York, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and
Connecticut. Some of the victims were killed
by falling trees. At least one death was blamed
on the storm in Canada.
President Barack Obama and Republican
challenger Mitt Romney canceled their cam-
paign appearances at the very height of the
race, with just over a week to go before
Election Day. The president pledged the gov-
ernments help and made a direct plea from
the White House to those in the storms path.
When they tell you to evacuate, you need
to evacuate, he said. Dont delay, dont
pause, dont question the instructions that are
being given, because this is a powerful storm.
Sandy, which killed 69 people in the
Caribbean before making its way up the
Atlantic, began to hook left at midday toward
the New Jersey coast.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said people
were stranded in Atlantic City, which sits on a
barrier island. He accused the mayor of allow-
ing them to stay there. With the hurricane
roaring through, Christie warned it was no
longer safe for rescuers, and advised people
who didnt evacuate the coast to hunker
down until morning.
I hope, I pray, that there wont be any loss
of life because of it, he said.
While the hurricanes 90 mph winds regis-
tered as only a Category 1 on a scale of ve, it
packed astoundingly low barometric pres-
sure, giving it terric energy to push water
inland, said Kerry Emanuel, a professor of
meteorology at MIT.
And the New York metropolitan area appar-
ently got the worst of it, because it was on the
dangerous northeastern wall of the storm.
We are looking at the highest storm surges
ever recorded in the Northeast, said Jeff
Masters, meteorology director for Weather
Underground, a private forecasting service.
The energy of the storm surge is off the
charts, basically.

WASHINGTON Staffers at a pharmacy
linked to the deadly meningitis outbreak doc-
umented dozens of cases of mold and bacteria
growing in rooms that were supposed to be
sterile, according to federal health inspectors.
In a preliminary report on conditions at the
pharmacy, the Food and Drug Administration
said Friday that even when the contamination
at New England Compounding Center
exceeded the companys own safety levels,
there is no evidence that staffers investigated
or corrected the problem. The FDA uncovered
some four dozen reports of potential contam-
ination in company records, stretching back to
January this year.
The report comes from an FDA inspection
of the Framingham, Mass.-based company
earlier this month after steroid injections
made by the company were tied to an out-
break of fungal meningitis. FDA ofcials con-
rmed last week that the black fungus found
in the companys vials was the same fungus
that has sickened 338 people across the U.S.,
causing 25 deaths.
The New England Compounding Centers
lawyer said Friday the pharmacy will review
this report and will continue our cooperation
with the FDA.
Compounding pharmacies like NECC tradi-
tionally ll special orders placed by doctors
for individual patients, turning out a small
number of customized formulas each week.
They have traditionally been overseen by state
pharmacy boards, though the FDA occasion-
ally steps in when major problems arise.
Some pharmacies have grown into much larg-
er businesses in the last 20 years, supplying
bulk orders of medicines to hospitals that
need a steady supply of drugs on hand.
The FDA report provides new details about
NECCs conditions, which were rst reported
by state ofcials earlier this week. The drug at
the center of the investigation is made without
preservative, so its very important that it be
made under highly sterile conditions.
Compounding pharmacies prepare their med-
ications in clean rooms, which are supposed
to be temperature-controlled and air-ltered
to maintain sterility.
But FDA inspectors noted that workers at
the pharmacy turned off the clean rooms air
conditioning every night. FDA regulators said
that could interfere with the conditions need-
ed to prevent bacterial growth.
Inspectors also say they found a host of

potential contaminants in or around the pharmacys clean
rooms, including green and yellow residues, water droplets
and standing water from a leaking boiler.
Additionally, inspectors found greenish yellow discol-
oration inside an autoclave, a piece of equipment used to ster-
ilize vials and stoppers. In another supposedly sterile room
inspectors found a dark, hair-like discoloration along the
wall. Elsewhere FDA staff said that dust from a nearby recy-
cling facility appeared to be drifting into the pharmacys
rooftop air-conditioning system.
The FDA on Friday declined to characterize the severity of
the problems at NECC, or to speculate on how they may have
led to contamination of the products made by the pharmacy.
FDA emphasized that the report is based on initial observa-
tions and that the agencys investigation is ongoing.
The agency also provided new details about the pharmacys
handling of the steroids it recalled last month. The company
recalled three lots of steroids made since May that totaled
17,676 single-dose vials of medicine roughly equivalent to
20 gallons. The shots are mainly used to treat back pain.
According to the agencys report, the pharmacy began ship-
ping vials from the August lot to customers on Aug. 17. That
was nearly two weeks before the pharmacy received test
results from an outside laboratory conrming the sterility of
the drug. When FDA scientists went back and tested the same
lot this month, they found contamination in 50 vials.
BACTERIA
GENEVA Two U.N. agencies have
mapped the intersection of health and cli-
mate in an age of global warming, show-
ing that there are spikes in meningitis
when dust storms hit and outbreaks of
dengue fever when hard rains come.
Ofcials said Monday that their Atlas
of Health and Climate is meant to be a
tool for leaders to use to get early warning
of disease outbreaks.
Though the data or conclusions arent
necessarily new, the way in which they are
presented may sharpen governments abil-
ity to respond to the threats posed by ris-
ing temperatures and changing climate.
Since 2005, for example, the atlas
shows that the weekly number of cases of
meningitis, which is spread by bacteria
and germs, has risen when the dry season
hits sub-Saharan Africa, where it has
killed an estimated 25,000 people over the
past 10 years. And since at least 1998,
there has been a
strong seasonal pat-
tern of dengue fever,
transmitted by mos-
quitoes, during peri-
ods of heavy rainfall
in tropical and sub-
tropical areas, killing
about 15,000 people a
year.
The joint project of
the World Health Organization and World
Meteorological Organization, both based
in Geneva, says the likelihood of increas-
ingly frequent heat waves hitting the plan-
et is four to 10 times as often by 2050
and they will probably most affect the
fast-growing vulnerable populations of
aging and urban people particularly in
Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
Many diseases including malaria,
dengue, meningitis just a few examples
these are what we call climate-sensi-
tive diseases, because such climate dimen-
sions for rainfall,
humidity and tem-
perature would inu-
ence the epidemics,
the outbreaks, either
directly inuencing
the parasites or the
mosquitoes that carry
them, said Dr.
Margaret Chan, the
director-general of
the U.N. health agency.
Chan said the data could be used to bet-
ter manage animals habitat and ecosys-
tems, which would also make a big differ-
ence to peoples health because 80 percent
of the infectious diseases currently found
in humans have come from animals.
WMO Secretary-General Michel
Jarraud said the atlas is meant to translate
and map information buried in the agen-
cies technical documents into something
which can be used by the decision-makers
directly.

BEIJING Chinas legislature on Friday
passed a long-awaited mental health law that
aims to prevent people from being involun-
tarily held and unnecessarily treated in psy-
chiatric facilities abuses that have been
used against government critics and trig-
gered public outrage.
The law standardizes mental health care
services, requiring general hospitals to set up
special outpatient clinics or provide counsel-
ing, and calls for the training of more doc-
tors.
Debated for years, the law attempts to
address an imbalance in Chinese society a
lack of mental health care services for a pop-
ulation that has grown more prosperous but
also more aware of modern-day stresses and
the need for treatment. Psychiatrists who
helped draft and improve the legislation wel-
comed its passage.
The law will protect the rights of mental
patients and prevent those who dont need
treatment from being forced to receive it,
said Dr. Liu Xiehe, an 85-year-old psychia-
trist based in the southwestern city of
Chengdu, who drafted the first version of the
law in 1985.
Our mental health law is in line with
international standards. This shows the gov-
ernment pays attention to the development of
mental health and the protection of peoples
rights in this area, Liu told the Associated
Press by phone.
Pressure has grown on the government in
recent years after state media and rights
activists reported cases of people forced into
mental hospitals when they did not require
treatment. Some were placed there by
employers with whom they had wage dis-
putes, some by their family members in
fights over money, and others - usually peo-
ple with grievances against officials - by
police who wanted to silence them.
Yang Yamei, of the Inner Mongolian city
of Hulunbuir, has been locked up at a local
mental hospital for the last eight months in
what her daughter says is retaliation for her
attempts to seek compensation from the gov-
ernment for a court ruling that unfairly sen-
tenced her to three years in a labor camp.
This is the third time in four years that
she has been forcibly committed, her
daughter Guo Dandan said by phone.
Its because my mother has been peti-
tioning for help, but the authorities dont
want to solve her problems, so they put her
in there, Guo said. I have tried many
times to persuade her doctors to release
her, but they refuse.
Guos claim could not be independently
verified. Local government offices and the
mental hospital could not immediately be
reached for comment.
I only hope that the law will be stricter,
Guo said. In the cases of petitioners, when
the authorities can use their personal rela-
tionships with doctors to fake medical
records, hospitals should not be allowed to
accept such cases.
The law states for the first time that men-
tal health examinations and treatment must
be conducted on a voluntary basis, unless a
person is considered a danger to himself or
others. Only psychiatrists have the authority
to commit people to hospitals for treatment,
and treatment may be compulsory for
patients diagnosed with a severe mental ill-
ness, according to the law.
Significantly, the law gives people who
feel they have been unnecessarily admitted
into mental health facilities the right to
appeal.
But it will likely be a challenge for people
to exercise that right once they are in the sys-
tem, said Huang Xuetao, a lawyer who runs
an organization in the southern city of
Shenzhen that assists people who have been
committed against their will.
Though questions remain over how the law
will be enforced and whether sufficient gov-
ernment funding will be provided to enable
the expansion of services, psychiatrists said
the passage of the legislation marked a mile-
stone.
Its very exciting. I honestly believe this
will start a new trajectory, said Dr. Michael
Phillips, a Canadian psychiatrist who has
worked in China for nearly three decades
and now heads a suicide research center in
Shanghai.
Phillips said the biggest change for the
psychiatric system is the curb on involuntary
admissions. At least 80 percent of hospital
admissions are compulsory, he said.

The recall effort has been an interest-

One of the issues Alifano has under the

Prior to Cal Fire s arrival, re depart-
ments on the coast were a costly mess
resulting in more than $1.2 million in
lawsuit settlements and legal fees as well
as high turnover and poor morale, Moss
Beach resident Mike Gaynes previously
told the Daily Journal. Gaynes was one
of the early supporters of the recall effort
along with Ketchum.

Previously, the Half Moon Bay Fire
Protection District and Point Montara
Fire Protection District provided service
on the coast but the two consolidated in
2007 to form the Coastside Fire

Prior to the consolidation, the Half

She told the Daily Journal she has spent

I sometimes research things for 24

Incumbent Speier, however, has a dif-
ferent take on the issue.
Regionalism makes all the sense in the

We are inter-connected and need to

Speier told the Daily Journal.
She touts the modernization of Caltrain

improve the regions transportation sys-

While Speier has won many political

When asked by the Daily Journal why
she is running for Congress in her rst
political race rather than a lesser seat
Bacigalupi said: Go big or go home.
She will have an uphill battle, however,

Bacigalupi did beat back perennial can-

challenge Speier next week for the
District 14 seat in the House of
Representatives.
In the race for the District 18 seat in
Congress, incumbent Eshoo will face a
familiar foe in Dave Chapman, who ran
unsuccessfully for the seat in 2010.
Eshoo won 69.1 percent of the vote in
2010 to Chapmans 27.9 percent. District
18 covers portions of San Mateo, Santa
Clara and Santa Cruz counties as the
District 14 seat covers parts of San Mateo
and San Francisco counties with congres-
sional maps being redrawn last year.
Eshoo was rst elected to the House of
Representatives in 1993 and Speier was
elected to her seat in 2008 after the death
of Tom Lantos. Both formerly served on
the San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors and Speier served in the
Assembly and state Senate.
While Eshoo, Speier and the issues
they support are well-known locally,
Bacigalupi and Chapman have little name
recognition nor the campaign contribu-
tions to support a congressional run. Both
Speier and Eshoo have more than $1 mil-
lion in contributions in their campaigns
while their foes run on shoestring budg-
ets.
Bacigalupi said she is running to pre-
serve and safeguard private property and
intellectual rights; protect small local
farmers; clean up food, air and water
from chemicals; terminate overarching
regulations; and repair the education sys-
tem.
She also believes in responsible gun
ownership and plans to support laws that
uphold the Second Amendment and keep
guns out of the hands of anyone with a
history of criminal behavior, substance
abuse or mental illness.
Chapman is a software engineer with
an address in Palo Alto who wants to get
rid of the nations Guest Worker
Program and H1-B visas because they
are a threat to the economy and national
security.
The programs also exploit foreign
workers, his campaign contends.
Chapman is in favor of reforming the
Federal Reserve, reforming the interna-
tional trade system and using federal cor-
porations to create jobs by improving the
countrys infrastructure. He is also in
favor of an aggressive policy of zero oil
imports for national security reasons.
Eshoo touts her many accomplish-
ments in Congress as a reason to send her
back.
Eshoo has served on the House Energy
and Commerce Committee since 1995
and is ranking member of the
Subcommittee on Communications and
Technology, which has primary jurisdic-
tion over the Internet and telecommunica-
tions.
She also co-chairs the Congressional
Internet Caucus, the E-911 Caucus and
the House Medical Technology Caucus,
and serves as vice chair of the 21st
Century Health Care Caucus.
Her accomplishments include creating
the use of electronic signatures, making
legally binding digital documents possi-
ble and allowing online commerce to
ourish; securing funding for broadband
deployment, health information technolo-
gy and research and education for mathe-
matics, life sciences and engineering;
providing a pathway to create generic
versions of biologic drugs which will
lower the price of life-saving therapies
and foster new medical innovations; and
ensuring that low-income women who
are diagnosed with breast and cervical
cancer receive treatment, and insurance
companies pay for reconstructive surgery
for these patients.
Speier has been in Congress just more
than four years now and has been one of
the most vocal advocates for womens
rights in the country. Since Republicans
took control of the House in 2010, a con-
certed effort has taken place to erode
womens rights, Speier said.
She has exposed the rampant abuse and
rape of women serving in the military and
touts a new policy that will make it easier
for women to report the abuse, rather than
the current chain-of-command policy the
military has for reporting.
She even boldly stated in Congress she
once had an abortion after the GOP want-
ed to stop funding for Planned
Parenthood and Republican lawmakers
gave misleading statements about sec-
ond-trimester abortions.
Going forward, she is working to
bridge the gap with some of her
Republican colleagues by crafting legis-
lation to secure Internet sales tax revenue
for states.
The effort could reap California $2 bil-
lion annually in sales tax revenue that
could go a long way to funding the states
education system, she said.
She wants to create incentives to bring
manufacturing jobs back to the United
States and also boost science, technology,
engineering and mathematics education
in elementary schools.
She told the Daily Journal she will also
never vote for a temporary tax again.
We cant continue tax holidays she
said.
With the nations current $16 trillion
debt, Speier feels a responsibility to
reduce it for future generations.
We dont want to dump the debt on
our children, she said.
The election is Tuesday, Nov. 6.
ELECTION
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2012
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Youre not apt to be
wishy-washy when it comes to making a critical
decision. By letting others know where you stand,
youll have a big advantage.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Spend your
precious hours working on worthwhile endeavors.
If you fail to use your talents and time productively,
chances are youll suffer feelings of guilt.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Youre a born
organizer, so when you step in to restore order in a
chaotic condition created by others, even youll be
amazed at your performance.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Although you might be
somewhat reluctant to commit yourself, if you fail to use
your time wisely, chances are youll regret it. Focus your
efforts on personal or spiritual advancement.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Because youre so
well equipped to handle projects of a mental nature,
you should be able to see things from a practical yet
innovative point of view.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Working to your
advantage is your gift for amassing financial or
material gain. If youre forced to work with intan-
gibles, however, you wont do as well.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) There are times when
its prudent to focus on your personal interests at the
exclusion of everything else, and it may be one of those
days. Help yourself frst so you can then assist others.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Certain answers that
youre searching for will not be found using outside
sources. Find a quiet place where you can think
things out for yourself.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) If youre in dire need
of an attitude adjustment, try to fnd a new endeavor
in which to immerse yourself. The more interesting
the project, the more successful youll be.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Friends or colleagues might
be intimidated by challenges, but you wont be. There
are all kinds of indications that you would welcome a
development that could test your mettle.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Financial matters can
be dealt with quite effectively if you keep your cool.
Trade on what turned out well in the past, because
what worked before should work well again.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Sometimes were better
at managing the affairs of others than we are our
own, which could be the case for you presently.
However, helping others out could prove a boon for
you, as well.
