Leaf blowers may be banned for
use outright in San Mateo as the
majority of the City Council made it
clear last night that the adverse
health effects on its users and inno-
cent bystanders are not worth the
time saved for a more pristine-look-
ing lawn.
Mayor Brandt Grotte and Deputy
Mayor David Lim, who support the
ban, also described the use of leaf
blowers as a social justice issue
since gardeners, who are typically
low-wage earners, are subjected to
breathing in emissions, bacteria and
particulates almost constantly while
they use the device.
Councilwoman Maureen Freschet
was initially on the fence related to
a ban but did some studying on the
matter after she went on vacation
and returned home to nd raccoons
had camped out in her backyard and
left a big pile of excrement.

Learning self defense
San Carlos students take part in two-day training
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Eric Acha had a simple question
for the group of middle school boys
around him: How many ngers do
you have on one hand?
Five, was the unanimous reply.
Wrong. Four and one thumb,
said Acha, San Mateo County dis-
trict attorney inspector and owner of
the Peninsula Self Defense Training
Academy, during a self defense les-
son at Tierra Linda Middle School in
San Carlos Monday during lunch.
It was the rst of two days of safe-
ty and self-defense lessons planned
at the middle school this week. The
sessions, sponsored by the San
Mateo County Sheriffs Activities
League, are led by Acha who has 18
years of experience in law enforce-
ment, and achieved a black belt in
karate and a purple belt in Brazilian
jiujitsu.
Mondays lesson was about using
technique rather than strength.
When you rely on strength, your
strength is limited. You should rely
on technique. You dont need to be
strong, you just need to be smart,
he told the students.
If someone grabs you, he or she
will have four ngers on one side
and the thumb on the other. The side
with the thumb is the weakest. Each
move Acha showed focused on how
students should take advantage of
the weakness as a way to escape
someone holding their arm. Another
position students were able to prac-
tice was being pushed against a wall
by a bully or having someone grab
the student by the neck or chest.
Throughout the lesson, boys
would ask about different scenarios
and Acha, along with one of his top

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The Mojave Memorial Cross, famous
for its controversy about whether it should
be allowed on federal land in the Mojave
Desert and later alleged to have been
stolen by vandals, appears to have been
found near Half Moon Bay.
The cross was found just after 11 a.m.
Monday by San Mateo County sheriffs
deputies about three miles south of upper
State Route 92 and Highway 35, also
known as Muddy Road. Deputies found it
standing upright and attached to a fence
post with zip ties. It was in good condition
with a note taped to it, according to the
Sheriffs Ofce. Deputies contacted the
National Parks Service, who put them in
contact with an ofcer in the Mojave
Desert who was familiar with the cross.
The ofcer described unique markings on
the cross, which San Mateo County
deputies veried on the cross they found.
The National Parks ofcer veried that
the cross found on the side of the highway
Monday was the cross that had been
stolen from the Mojave Desert back in
2010. The San Francisco branch of the
National Parks Service will be in contact
with the San Mateo County Sheriffs
Ofce to take custody of the cross,
according to the Sheriffs Ofce.
The cross was immersed in controversy
for years and the U.S. Supreme Court
ruled in a 5-4 vote in April 2010 that the
cross should be allowed on government
land to honor those who died in war.
The note on the found cross said: This
cross is an important historical artifact. It
is in fact the Mojave Cross, taken on the
evening of May 9, 2010 from Sunrise
Rock in the Mojave Desert. I would be
very grateful if you would be so kind as to
notify the appropriate authorities of its
presence here.
There is a reward of $100,000 for the
arrest and conviction of those who stole it,
according to the Sheriffs Ofce.

Elephant in South Korean
zoo imitates human speech
SEOUL, South Korea An elephant
in a South Korean zoo is using his trunk
to pick up not only food, but also human
vocabulary.
An international team of scientists
confirmed Friday what the Everland
Zoo has been saying for years: Their
5.5-ton tusker Koshik has an unusual
and possibly unprecedented talent.
The 22-year-old Asian elephant can
reproduce ve Korean words by tucking
his trunk inside his mouth to modulate
sound, the scientists said in a joint paper
published online in Current Biology.
They said he may have started imitating
human speech because he was lonely.
Koshik can reproduce annyeong
(hello), anja (sit down), aniya (no),
nuwo (lie down) and joa (good), the
paper says.
One of the researchers said there is no
conclusive evidence that Koshik under-
stands the sounds he makes, although
the elephant does respond to words like
anja.
Everland Zoo ofcials in the city of
Yongin said Koshik also can imitate
ajik (not yet), but the researchers
havent conrmed the accomplishment.
Koshik is particularly good with vow-
els, with a rate of similarity of 67 per-
cent, the researchers said. For conso-
nants he scores only 21 percent.
Researchers said the clearest scientif-
ic evidence that Koshik is deliberately
imitating human speech is that the
sound frequency of his words matches
that of his trainers.
Vocal imitation of other species has
been found in mockingbirds, parrots
and mynahs. But the paper says
Koshiks case represents a wholly
novel method of vocal production
because he uses his trunk to reproduce
human speech.
In 1983, zoo ofcials in Kazakhstan
reportedly claimed that a teenage ele-
phant named Batyr could reproduce
Russian to utter 20 phrases, including
Batyr is good. But there was no scien-
tic study on the claim.
Researchers believe Koshik learned to
reproduce words out of a desire to bond
with his trainers after he was separated
from two other elephants at age 5.
Koshik emerged as a star among ani-
mal enthusiasts and children in South
Korea after Everland Zoo claimed in
2006 that he could imitate words, two
years after his trainers noticed the phe-
nomenon. His growing reputation
prompted Austrian biologist Angela
Stoeger-Horwath and German biophysi-
cist Daniel Mietchen to study him in
2010, zoo ofcials said.

Consider it thinking outside the box the
ballot box, that is.
San Mateo County is among several
California counties trying out technology that
lets more than 3,000 voters in dozens of coun-
tries access their local ballots with a few key-
strokes no matter their location. While
LiveBallot, developed by Washington state-
based Democracy Live, is primarily aimed at
military members stationed overseas, any vot-
ers living abroad can benet.
The goal here is to make it more convenient
for voters and facilitate more participation,
said Mark Church, chief elections ofcer and
assessor-county clerk-recorder.
So far, the countys participation is pretty
impressive. As of Monday, 376 ballots were
actually downloaded which is the second high-
est of the states participating counties, Church
said.
Those ballots have been accessed across the
globe Argentina and Australian, Bangladesh
and Czech Republic, Finland and El Salvador,
Guyana and Indonesia, Israel and Jamaica,
Malaysia and Myanmar, the Palestinian
Territory and United Arab Emirates just to
name a few, according to the running tally by
Democracy Live.
Users dont actually vote online but can
download and print ballots. The voter then lls
out the form, signs it and can either mail or fax
the paper. Some states, like Florida, allow users
to ll in the ovals on their computer before
printing, but California does not.
While anyone abroad can
use the web-based system,
the ideal user is a soldier
who may be stationed, for
example, in one part of
Afghanistan but moving
around, said George
Munro, director of commu-
nications for Democracy
Live.
Even though he or she
has a mailing address at the base, the ballot
could just be sitting there while they are gone.
By delivering the ballot through email they can
access it anywhere they are, Munro said.
Democracy Live estimates there are approxi-
mately 6.5 million eligible voters for United
States elections living overseas.
San Mateo County sent out 3,020 notices to
eligible voters overseas and, of those, 1,514
were returned, Church said.
San Mateo County and 12 others signed up
in 2011 with the federally funded Cal E-
Promise consortium facilitated by El Dorado
County to offer the online access through Oct.
30, 2016. The program is an offshoot of the
federal Military and Overseas Voter
Empowerment Act of 2009 which aimed to
improve the process.
The countys relationship ofcially began
Sept. 25, making Tuesdays presidential elec-
tion the inaugural contest.
Within a half hour of California counties
going live with the system on Sept. 22, a ballot
was downloaded electronically in Thailand,
Munro said.
Its really pretty amazing it happened that
fast, he said.
The county received $150,000 as part of the
$1.8 million federal grant which covers the
costs of ballots downloaded and submitted
through the LiveBallot system.
The technology is hosted on Microsofts
Windows Azure platform and all the informa-
tion is stored in the cloud rather than a local
server which Munro said adds another layer of
security.
The cyber-balloting also frees up local elec-
tions ofces from needing to email out individ-
ual ballots after rst guring out who requires
which form based on precincts. LiveBallot is
quicker and less expensive, Munro said.
The company is expanding its civic offerings
even further, too, allowing anyone visiting its
site to download voter guides and sample bal-
lots or look up information on nancial contri-
butions, top 10 donors and links to social media
pages.
Munro said accessing the information in the
comfort of ones home may lead to better edu-
cation.
Everybody knows if they support Mitt or
Barack, but so many out there feel intimidated
when it comes to the other races. This gives
them a way to make more thoughtful deci-
sions, Munro said.
The site is www.LiveBallot.com.

Police search for suspicious van
A 5-year-old Redwood City boy playing in his front yard on
Oakley Avenue in West Menlo Park was approached by a woman
in a minivan Saturday morning and was offered candy and a ride,
according to the San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce.
The mother of the child saw a suspicious vehicle drive up and
stop near her son and when she walked toward her child the van
drove away, according to the Sheriffs Ofce.
The child told his mother that the driver of the van was a
woman who offered him candy. The woman also asked the child
if he wanted to go with her, according to the Sheriffs Ofce.
Police are describing the incident as a possible attempted kid-
napping.
The vehicle is described as an older model, faded light blue
minivan but no license number or make or model of the vehicle
could be described, according to the Sheriffs Ofce.
The occupant of the vehicle is a dark-skinned female, possibly
Hispanic or Asian with dark hair, according to the Sheriffs
Ofce. This is the only report of such activity in the area and no
other witnesses to the incident have been located.
Any person who many have information about this incident, is
asked to contact Detective Matt Broad at (650) 363-4363 or via
email at mbroad@smcgov.org. You may also contact the
Sheriffs Ofce Anonymous Witness Line at (800) 547-2700.
Belmont man arrested for
domestic violence, resisting arrest
A 29-year-old Belmont man was arrested early Monday after
assaulting his girlfriend and not letting her leave their house for
several hours, according to Belmont police.
Police received a call at about 6 a.m. from a woman who
reported she had been assaulted by her boyfriend, who would not
let her leave their residence on the 1000 block of Old County
Road, according to police.
Ofcers arrived within minutes and found the womans
boyfriend, Muhammad Magbool, 29, in front of the residence.
When ofcers contacted Magbool, he attempted to ee back into
the residence and was uncooperative and fought with ofcers,
who called for assistance from the San Mateo County Sheriffs
Ofce. Ofcers were able to restrain Magbool but not before he
kicked out the side window of a Belmont police patrol car.
Magbool, who is on parole for a previous robbery conviction,
was booked into the San Mateo County Jail in Redwood City on
charges of domestic violence assault, false imprisonment, resist-
ing arrest, vandalism and violation of parole.
Shots fired at car in South City
Someone red shots at a moving car in South San Francisco
on Sunday night but no one was injured, police said.
At about 8:30 p.m., three shots were red at two men in a
Pontiac Grand Am as they drove north in the 800 block of
Cypress Avenue, South San Francisco police Sgt. Bruce
McPhillips said.
No one was injured, but the bullets struck a parked car and
broke a window, McPhillips said.
Arriving ofcers saw several people running from the scene,
McPhillips said.
The shooter, who was on foot, was described as a bald
Hispanic man with a large build. He was wearing a T-shirt and
blue jeans.
The shooting is not believed to be random, but investigators
have not yet determined the motive, police said.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the
South San Francisco Police Department at (650) 877-8900, or
the anonymous tip line at (650) 952-2244.

An online advertising business based
in Europe will relocate its U.S. ofce
from a space in downtown San Mateo to
a city-owned property at the Transit
Center.
AdsWizz, a technology company that
provides advertising solutions to the
online audio and radio industry, will
lease space at 385 First Ave. for a report-
ed $3,300 a month, more than four times
the rent the city gets now for the space at
the downtown Caltrain station property.
Half of the space is currently leased by
the Downtown San Mateo Association
for $725 a month as the San Mateo Area
Chamber of Commerce vacated the
other half of the ofce space earlier this
year.
The DSMA has found new space at
Third Avenue and B Street and will relo-
cate Dec. 1. after holding down space in
the Transit Center since 2006.
AdsWizz is expanding its business and
number of employees and is in need of a
larger ofce space, according to a city
staff report.
The Transit Center space is approxi-
mately 1,650 square feet and AdsWizz
intends to lease it for two years with a
ve-year option available at fair market
rent, according to the staff report. The
Transit Center spaces are located in two
buildings, with the north building being
leased by the Melting Pot restaurant.
The lease will generate approximately
$79,200 for the city compared to the
$17,400 the DSMA would have paid.
AdsWizz will take the space as is
without any tenant improvements and
has indicated its intention to make
upgrades to the space at its cost to make
it a more suitable ofce environment for
a technology company, according to the
staff report. The company likes the spot
given its transit accessibility.
The Transit Center and the Main
Street parking garage across the street
have a total of seven tenants and all call
the city of San Mateo its landlord. The
city will generate about $250,000 a year
in rent from the two sites.
The two buildings were managed by
the citys Redevelopment Agency but,
with its dissolution, the city has now
hired a new facility manager to tend to
the buildings.
The Melting Pot is the anchor tenant at
the Transit Center and at the parking
garage, Cold Stone Creamery, Fletchs
and Beard Papas all rent space from the
city on Second Avenue.

A man accused of brutally beating and
sexually assaulting a woman in an aban-
doned South San Francisco home last
year before she escaped with the help of
his cousin will be sentenced to nine
years in prison after pleading no contest
to felony counts of forcible rape and oral
copulation.
Sergio Cortez, 29, faced 25 years to
life in prison if convicted by a jury of
kidnapping charge in the Sept. 8, 2011
attack on a woman who allegedly met
him and agreed to have sex. Instead, he
settled his case for the straight nine-year
term which will be formally imposed
Dec. 13. At that hearing, the court will
also receive an evalu-
ation of Cortezs
likelihood to re-
offend as a sex
offender.
Prosecutors say
Cortez drove the
woman to an alley
where he punched
her in the face and
forced oral copula-
tion before taking her at knifepoint to an
abandoned home in the 600 block of
Third Lane in South San Francisco.
Cortez allegedly broke into the home,
forced the woman into a water heater
closet where he urinated on her and
called his male cousin to come over.
The cousin allegedly smoked metham-
phetamine with Cortez and left at which
point authorities say the woman had her
faced smashed against the bathroom
wall and toilet tank before again being
sexually assaulted.
The cousin returned with clothing and
the men drove the woman to his house
where she was told to shower. After
Cortez left, the cousins brother called
South San Francisco police who arrived
and located the suspect a short time later.
At the time of his arrest, Cortez was
on misdemeanor court probation for a
petty theft conviction.
He remains held without bail.

A 47-year-old Redwood City woman
is charged with arson for allegedly
torching the home she once shared with
her boyfriend on Halloween because he
had a problem with her drinking.
Valerie Demarval is charged with two
counts of arson in the Oct. 31 fire that
burned the drapes and blackened the
walls of the home on Doris Court.
Prosecutors say Demarval and the
man had lived together for approxi-
mately six weeks when he asked her to
move out because of her drinking. At
6:31 p.m., Redwood City firefighters
responded to a fire at the home and
believed that Demarval, still at the
scene, had set the blaze intentionally,
according to a Redwood City police
report.
The man told authorities he had left
the home and set the alarm but, min-
utes later, a neighbor saw Demarval
walking away from the residence and
the dining room drapes on fire. The
neighbor extinguished the fire by stick-
ing a garden hose through the cat door
and authorities believe Demarval had
used the same opening to light the
drapes.
Demarval pleaded not guilty at her
initial arraignment and did not waive
her right to a speedy trial. She asked for
a court-appointed attorney and returns
to court Nov. 13 for a preliminary hear-
ing with a 60-minute estimate.
Her request for release on her own
recognizance was denied and Demarval
remains in custody in lieu of $150,000
bail.

Donation by Arizona
nonprofit called
money laundering
By Juliet Williams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO An Arizona nonprofit disclosed
Monday that two conservative groups were behind its $11
million campaign contribution to a
California organization fighting Gov.
Jerry Browns tax initiative, but the reve-
lation shed little light on who provided
the money since those groups dont have
to report their contributors.
The California Fair Political Practices
Commission, the states political watch-
dog agency, termed the donation from
Americans for Responsible Leadership
the largest case of campaign money
laundering in state history.
The commission can levy fines but can do nothing to stop
any campaign spending the group might be part of, includ-
ing any ads it may have helped to buy. Meanwhile,
California Attorney General Kamala Harris said she would
continue investigating to determine whether any laws were
broken.
This is not going to be over on Election Day, she said.
The $11 million donation came in the final weeks of the
campaign and gave a boost to a group that is trying to thwart
Browns tax initiative and Proposition 32, which seeks to
limit union influence in politics.
Gov. Brown rallies crowd in push to tax boost
LOS ANGELES Gov. Jerry Brown hit the campaign trail
in Los Angeles Monday in a last-minute push to convince vot-
ers to support his proposed tax increase.
The Democratic governor appeared in a Hispanic neighbor-
hood in the citys San Fernando Valley Monday, where he
urged activists to knock on voters doors and make phone calls
in support of Proposition 30.
He has a tough job. Recent polls show support for the plan
to raise $6 billion a year is withering.
Browns proposal would help close Californias budget
decit by raising the state sales tax a quarter cent for four years
and hiking income taxes for seven years on those making more
than $250,000 annually.
He told the crowd the proposal is about the California
dream.

Hector Mora, 30, also admitted having
a prior strike conviction in return for no
more than 32 months in prison when
sentenced Nov. 20. Judge Mark Forcum
will also consider disregarding the strike

San Mateo police arrested Mora April
12 not far from the Monte Diablo
Avenue overcrossing where they say he
confronted a 55-year-old Spanish-speak-
ing man with a knife and asked what he
had in his bag.
A San Mateo woman who spotted the
confrontation yelled to her sons, ages 17
and 20, and they ran from their apart-
ment to the bridge. Mora allegedly
raised the knife to the 17-year-old, stab-
bing him in the hand and forearm, before
running away. The teen required eight
stitches.
Police arrested Mora nearby and the
victim and sons identied him.
He remains free from custody on
$50,000 bail.
Man wanted for 2004
murder killed in Mexico
The man wanted for murder in a 2004

The man, Heriberto Sanchez, 30, is
alleged to have shot and killed Elisondo
Mendoza at the Red Morton Community
Center during a quincenera April 17,
2004. Mendoza and his friends were at
the center when another group arrived
and began belting them with Corona bot-
tles. During the skir-
mish, Sanchezs
common-law wife
Ana Cervantes
allegedly pulled a
gun from her purse
and handed it to
Sanchez. Mendoza
was killed and a 16-
year-old boy was
struck in the leg.
Sanchez ed while
Cervantes purposely lied to authorities
about the shooters identity and direction
of ight. She later ed to Mexico but
was arrested crossing the border back
into the United States.
She was sentenced to ve years in
prison in February 2011 for being an
accessory to murder.
Sanchezs body had been transported
to California for burial. Sanchezs iden-
tity was conrmed by a ngerprint com-
parison. The investigation is now closed,
according to police.

Good Samaritan stabber facing prison
Local brief

NATION 7
By Julie Pace and Kasie Hunt
COLUMBUS, Ohio The White House
the prize, President Barack Obama and Mitt
Romney raced through a nal full day of cam-
paigning on Monday through Ohio and other
battleground states holding the keys to victory
in a tight race. Both promised brighter days
ahead for a nation still struggling with a slug-
gish economy and high joblessness.
Our work is not done yet, Obama told a
cheering crowd of nearly 20,000 in chilly
Madison, Wis., imploring his audience to give
him another four years.
Romney projected optimism as he neared
the end of his six-year quest for the presiden-
cy. If you believe we can do better. If you
believe America should be on a better course.
If youre tired of being tired ... then I ask you
to vote for real change, he said in a Virginia
suburb of the nations capital. With many of
the late polls in key states tilting slightly
against him, he decided to campaign on
Election Day in Ohio and Pennsylvania, where
he and Republicans made a big, late push.
The presidency aside, there are 33 Senate
seats on the ballot Tuesday, and according to
one Republican ofcial, a growing sense of
resignation among his partys rank and le that
Democrats will hold their majority.
The situation was reversed in the House,
where Democrats made no claims they were
on the verge of victory in pursuit of the 25
seats they need to gain control.
National opinion polls in the presidential
race made the popular vote a virtual tie.
In state-by-state surveys, it appeared Obama
held small advantages in Nevada, Ohio, Iowa
and Wisconsin enough to deliver a second
term if they endured, but not so signicant that
they could withstand an Election Day surge by
Romney supporters. Both men appealed to an
ever smaller universe of undecided voters.
More than 30 million absentee or early bal-
lots have been cast, including in excess of 3
million in Florida. The state also had a legal
controversy, in the form of a Democratic law-
suit seeking an extension of time for pre-
Election Day voting.
There were other concerns, logistical rather
than legal.
Ofcials in one part of New Jersey delivered
voting equipment to emergency shelters so
voters displaced by Superstorm Sandy last
week could cast ballots. New York City made
arrangements for shuttle buses to provide
transportation for some in hard-hit areas
unable to reach their polling places.
Judging from the long early voting lines in
some places and the comments made in others,
the voters were more than ready to have their
say.
I watch the news all the time, and I am
ready for it to be over, said Jennifer Walker,
38, of Columbus, Ohio, who said she took
time off from work to attend the presidents
speech during the day in a show of support. I
feel like he is getting better with the economy.
I dont think its hopeless. It takes time.
But Bryan Dobes, 21, a University of Iowa
student from suburban Chicago, voted for
Romney on Monday and said unemployment
and spending have been too high under
Obama. He promised a lot of hope and
change, and Im not seeing it, he said of the
president.
No retreat, no surrender, sang rock icon
Bruce Springsteen, warming up Obamas
crowd on a frosty morning outside the State
Capitol in Madison, Wis. The Boss then
boarded Air Force One for his rst ight.
Pretty cool, he judged it.
Romney had Kid Rock and the Marshall
Tucker Band in the wings for his late appear-
ances in Ohio and New Hampshire.
This is it, the challenger said in a last-
minute emailed request for campaign dona-
tions.
I will lead us out of this economic crisis by
implementing pro-growth policies that will
create 12 million new jobs. With your help, I
will deliver real change and a real recovery.
America will be strong again.
In his longest campaign day, Romney raced
from Florida to a pair of speeches in Virginia
to Ohio and then an election eve rally in New
Hampshire.
No rest in final campaign hours
By Donna Cassata amd Alan Fram
WASHINGTON A barrage of negative
ads, more than $2 billion in spending and end-
less campaign stops all come down to this:
Americans likely will elect a Congress as
divided as the one theyve been ranting about
for two years.
In Tuesdays voting, Republicans are poised
to hold the 435-seat House, with Democrats
expected to gain a small handful of seats at
best from roughly 60 competitive races but
fall well short of the net 25 needed for the
majority. House Speaker John Boehner, R-
Ohio, is poised to wield the gavel again.
Senate Democrats are likely to maintain
their narrow advantage as two Republican
candidates clumsy comments about rape and
abortion could cost the GOP Indiana and
dampens its prospects of winning Missouri
two major roadblocks in the Republican path
to the majority.
Republicans hoped the math would work in
their favor Democrats are defending 23
seats, the GOP 10 but solid Democratic
recruits and the close presidential race, added
to the GOP candidate stumbles may ensure
that Nevada Sen. Harry Reid remains majori-
ty leader.
Thats extremely frustrating for what
everyone thought was a Republican advan-
tage, Ron Bonjean, a Republican consultant
and former top Capitol Hill aide, said of the
developments in Indiana and Missouri.
No matter who wins the presidency
President Barack Obama or Republican Mitt
Romney the nations chief executive will
be dealing with a Congress no closer to bridg-
ing the ideological chasm and showing no
inclination to end the months of dysfunction.
Tea party numbers are certain to tick up in the
Senate with Republican Ted Cruz heavily
favored in Texas and Deb Fischer looking to
grab the Nebraska seat.
In the House, the movement that propelled
the GOP to the majority in 2010 will be even
more emboldened even if a few of the big-
name tea partiers lose.
Sal Russo, head of the Tea Party Express,
likened the group to the anti-Vietnam War
movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s
that he said remade the Democratic Party. He
envisions the same with the GOP.
In the sense that the anti-war movement
brought out millions of people that had not
been involved in politics and they became
engaged in a material way, Russo said in an
interview as he headed to what he expects will
be a victory party for Cruz in Texas.
The Democratic Party, he insists, has never
been the same and neither will the GOP after
the inux of tea partiers.
When the Senate votes are counted, moder-
ate Republicans and Democrats from
Massachusetts and Montana could be gone,
leaving the chamber with just a handful of the
lawmakers inclined to reach across the aisle.
Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine
decided to retire earlier this year, frustrated
with the partisan gridlock in Congress.
New Englands three other GOP senators
are New Hampshires Kelly Ayotte, Maines
Susan Collins and Massachusetts Scott
Brown, now an underdog against Democrat
Elizabeth Warren in a race for the late Sen.
Edward M. Kennedys seat.
The few Republicans who are in ofce in
New England are an endangered species,
said veteran Democratic strategist Dan Payne,
who is working for independent Angus King.
Their party has shifted so far to the right.
King is favored to win the three-way race
for Snowes seat.
A Bloomberg poll in September found that
55 percent of Americans said Congress will
continue to be an impediment no matter who
is elected president. Just 32 percent said
Congress would get the message and work
together.

POINT PLEASANT BEACH, N.J. A
week after Superstorm Sandy pummeled the
East Coast, wiping out entire communities,
residents were bracing for yet another poten-
tially damaging storm.
A noreaster taking shape Monday in the
Gulf of Mexico was expected to begin its
march up the coast, eventually passing within
50 to 100 miles of the wounded New Jersey
coastline on Wednesday. The storm was
expected to bring winds of up to 55 mph,
coastal ooding, up to 2 inches of rain along
the shore, and several inches of snow to
Pennsylvania and New York.
One of the biggest fears was that the storm
could bring renewed ooding to parts of the
shore where Sandy wiped out natural beach
defenses and protective dunes.
Its going to impact many areas that were
devastated by Sandy, said Bruce Terry, the
lead forecaster for the National Weather
Service. It will not be good.
Some communities were considering again
evacuating neighborhoods that were hit hard
by Sandy and where residents had only recent-
ly been allowed to return. No town had made a
nal decision to do so as of Monday evening.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg
decided against a new round of evacuations.
When Sandy was coming in, all the signs
said that we were going to have a very danger-
ous, damaging storm, and I ordered a manda-
tory evacuation of low-lying areas, something
that a lot of people dont like to hear, he said.
In this case, we dont think that it merits that.
It is a different kind of storm; the wind is com-
ing from a different direction.
In Point Pleasant Beach, N.J., Laura
DiPasquale was frantically going through
dozens of black plastic trash bags that volun-
teers had stuffed full of her household belong-
ings and brought to the curb, trying to make
sure nothing she intended to keep had gotten
tossed out with debris like waterlogged dry-
wall. Already, she had found treasured
Christmas ornaments amid the detritus.
I dont know where anything is; I cant even
nd my checkbook, she said. I have no idea
whats in any of these bags. And now another
storm is coming and I feel enormous pressure.
I dont know if I can do this again. It is so over-
whelming.
States scramble to
help displaced residents vote
TOMS RIVER, N.J. One storm-battered
New Jersey county was delivering ballots to
emergency shelters Monday while New York
City was lining up shuttle buses to ferry peo-
ple in hard-hit coastal areas to the polls. With
the presidential election looming just a week
after Superstorm Sandys devastation, author-
ities were scrambling to make voting as man-
ageable as possible while election watchers
warned any shortcuts could compromise the
integrity of the balloting.
Election ofcials in both New Jersey and
New York were guardedly optimistic that
power would be restored and most polling
places would be open in all but the worst-hit
areas for Tuesdays election. Both states were
allowing displaced residents to cast a provi-
sional ballot for president and statewide ofce
holders in any polling place.
Noreaster threatens
weather-weary East
By Meghan Barr and Jennifer Peltz
Government leaders are turning their atten-
tion to the next crisis unfolding in the aftermath
of Superstorm Sandy: nding housing for
potentially tens of thousands of people left
homeless.
The Federal Emergency Management
Agency said it has already dispensed close to
$200 million in emergency housing assistance
and has put 34,000 people in the New York and
New Jersey metropolitan area up in hotels and
motels.
But local, state and federal ofcials have yet
to lay out a specic, comprehensive plan for
nding them long-term places to live, even as
cold weather sets in. And given the scarcity and
high cost of housing in the metropolitan area
and the lack of open space, it could prove a
monumental undertaking.
For example, can enough vacant apartments
be found? Will the task involve huge, Hurricane
Katrina-style encampments of trailer homes?
And if so, where will authorities put the trail-
ers? In stadiums? Parks?
Authorities cannot answers those questions
yet.
Its not going to be a simple task. Its going
to be one of the most complicated and long-
term recovery efforts in U.S. history, said
Mark Merritt, president of Witt Associates, a
Washington crisis management consulting rm
founded by former FEMA director James Lee
Witt.
Tactics that FEMA used in other disasters
could be difcult to apply in the city. For exam-
ple, Merritt said, its impossible to set up trail-
ers in peoples driveways if everyone lives in an
apartment building, and its harder to nd space
to set up mobile homes.
Where will housing be found for
Superstorm Sandys victims?

Letters to the editor
Expectations and
deliverables: Foster City
Editor,
As a resident of Foster City, I am wonder-
ing what is wrong with leaving the 15 acres
of open space as it is, as an open space for
people to enjoy? Herb Perez, member of the
Foster City Council, has some good points
that basically ask why cram a square peg into
a round hole?
As he remarked, there is enough retail in
Foster City and we have too many cars on
Shell Boulevard without the additional 500
or so apartments that are proposed (which
could possibly sprawl its parking for blocks
around the City Hall area). Must everything
revolve around taxation and revenue genera-
tion? We chose Foster City as our destination
because we liked the laidback suburb away
from the freeway maze. Foster Citys retail is
maxed out in terms of possible revenue. Do
we want to create a city that is too big for its
boots and needs to chase more and more rev-
enue, adds more city expenses, creates more
shortage of schools and demands more taxa-
tion just to survive? Why?
Editor, I see very few houses for sale and
have not seen a foreclosure sign for a long
time. This city is one of the more scally
sound and budget-conscious around. It
works. Lets keep it that way. I say no to
expansion and reckless growth planning.

Voter integrity is very important
Editor,
Voter integrity is very important. Even
though it is popular to ridicule people who
are concerned about voter fraud, it does exist.
Chicago and New Orleans are famous for
dead people voting. The rights and privileges
that we enjoy were earned at great expense
and loss of human life. The upcoming elec-
tion is very important and must be honest.
Volunteers are needed to monitor the polls to
assure voter integrity. The Election Integrity
Project can be reached at electionintegri-
typroject.com and (661) 313-5251. There are
other groups that are also concerned; please
contact one of them. This is a very important
election, so please do your part.

Lower baskets for
womens basketball?
Editor,
According to Pat Eaton-Robbs article pub-
lished in the Oct. 26 edition of the Daily
Journal, Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma
wants to lower the basketball rim seven inch-
es for womens games to increase interest in
the womens sport. I have a better idea: get
rid of the rim and cut a hole in the oor,
which would help women as well as
grade-school teams.

Acting pro-choice
T
oday among all others is the day to
be pro-choice. Support abortion,
back the right to life, opt for a
Republican, default to a Democrat. Yay
sales taxes or no, never, ever, ever.
Incumbents or newbies? Parcel tax, human
trafficking, death
penalty, unions.
Pick your poison,
pick your candi-
date, pick your
measure. Just
pick.
Todays push to
be pro-choice has
nothing to do with
reproduction and
everything to do
with representa-
tion.
If on today,
Election Day, you remain one of the unde-
cided, chances are you are an idiot and
by choice, no less. There have been forums,
debates, voter guides, editorials, a slew of
campaigns and smears and viral videos all
aimed at soliciting your vote. Thousands of
folks are so eager to vote they began weeks
ago. Yet, some still show up at Election Day
with pencil hesitating between bubbles,
hoping that the right answer will come to
them in some sort of last-minute epiphany
outweighing all the time and consideration
allotted more thoughtful voters in the
months leading up to this final battle for
offices, money, law changes and ramifica-
tions society probably cant even see com-
ing.
Others arrive at this day undecided and
rather than giving it the old college try to
participate in democracy instead say forget
it. Voting doesnt matter anyway particular-
ly for those on the West Coast and, besides,
isnt it actually worse to vote without hav-
ing taken the time to be educated?
Hogwash! Yes, the best voter is a well-
informed one and a few hours of contempla-
tion over a latte and the voter guide is not
going to make up for keeping blinders on
while counties and cities, the state and the
nation started crafting ways to make life
different. But snap out of it, man (or
woman)!
The least-educated voter who actually
accepts the privilege to participate still
ranks above the best-versed person who sits
the day out. At least the former has the right
to take a little umbrage with the outcome or
the establishment as a whole. Anyone too
lazy to cast a ballot has no right to carp
from the sidelines.
So, keeping the preaching and election-
minded proselytizing to a minimum, suffice
to say that Americans receive at least one
and often two or three opportunities annual-
ly to remember that our leadership and leg-
islation is more interactive than, say, all
those countries we seem to invade or use as
the basis of the latest James Bond flick.
Frankly, feel free to zone out during other
times of the year, when sports take over, the
phrase trade deficit grows old or Saturday
Night Live and the Daily Show give short
shrift to the controversial topic du jour. But
with a presidential election looming, not to
mention a pretty impressive slate of state
and local taxes, the fate of capital punish-
ment and huge tweaks to the Three Strikes
law, maybe now isnt such a great time to
check out. The San Francisco Giants have
already sealed the World Series, Halloween
is over, Thanksgiving and Christmas are
still a stretch away. Anybody still stepping
aside has no valid excuse short of death,
dismemberment or lockdown courtesy of
Superstorm Sandy. Deliberate ignorance is
not forgivable.
So get out and vote.
Today, the only losing choice is not to
choose at all.

NEW YORK On the day before the
U.S. presidential election, stock indexes
managed slight gains in thin trading.
After wavering between small gains
and losses, the Dow Jones industrial
average ended with a gain of 19.28
points to start the week, closing at
13,112.44 on Monday.
Uncertainty surrounding the election
will prevent most investors from making
any big moves before its over, said
Randy Frederick, managing director of
active trading and derivatives at the bro-
kerage Charles Schwab.
National polls show President Barack
Obama and Mitt Romney locked in a
tight race. The two candidates are spend-
ing the nal days of the campaign hold-
ing rallies in Ohio and other states con-
sidered crucial to winning the White
House.
I honestly think the markets are going
to sit here and mark time, Frederick
said. The markets have a tendency to
trade sideways before big news events,
and nothing is bigger than a presidential
election.
Frederick said he believes that no
matter who wins, the stock market will
likely surge once its over for the sole
reason that investors will know the
name of the next president.
But thats assuming theres a winner
by Wednesday. If the election comes
down to a thin margin in a swing state,
the outcome could be delayed for days.
In other Monday trading, the Standard
& Poors 500 index rose 3.06 points to
1,417.26, while the Nasdaq composite
index climbed 17 points to 2,999.66. Just
2.9 billion shares were traded on the
New York Stock Exchange, well below
the recent average.
Apple rose $7.82 to $584.62. The
company said it sold 3 million iPads in
the three days after launching a smaller
version, the Mini. Tim Cook, Apples
CEO, said the iPad Mini is practically
sold out.
In the market for U.S. government
debt, the yield on the 10-year Treasury
note fell to 1.68 percent, down from 1.72
percent late Friday.
There was only one major economic
report, a measure of activity among so-
called service companies, which employ
about 90 percent of the American work-
force. The Institute for Supply
Managements service-sector index
showed growth in October, but at a slow-
er pace than in September, and just short
of what economists expected.

Big movers
By Anick Jesnaun
NEW YORK Apples share of the
market for tablet computers fell to 50
percent in the third quarter as the iPad
faced more competition from Android
devices such as Samsungs Galaxy
tablets and Googles Nexus 7.
Apple still had a solid lead and
shipped more iPads worldwide than a
year earlier, according to Mondays
study by IDC. Apple had no new tablets
out in the third quarter. It also might
have seen sales slow amid expectations
of a smaller iPad.
Apple could regain share in the holi-
day quarter with last Fridays release of
new iPad devices, including the iPad
Mini. Apple said Monday that it sold 3
million iPads of all kinds through the
weekend, double the 1.5 million iPads
sold in the rst three days after Apple
launched the third-generation iPad in
March and cut the price of the iPad 2.
However, the company will face com-
petition from new devices from Amazon,
Google and others over the next few
weeks.
In the July-September period, Apple
shipped 14 million devices, up 26 per-
cent from 11 million a year ago. Its mar-
ket share fell from 60 percent in the third
quarter of 2011 as the overall tablet mar-
ket grew by 50 percent to nearly 28 mil-
lion.
Samsungs market share grew to 18
percent, from about 7 percent, as it more
than quadrupled the number of tablets
shipped to 5.1 million. The quarter saw
the release of the Galaxy Note 10.1, a
device built for use with a stylus.
Amazon.com Inc. was in third with its
Kindle Fire, which had a 9 percent mar-
ket share. Amazon didnt release a new
version until late in the quarter, but it had
nothing in the third quarter of 2011
because the Fire wasnt released until
last November, after the quarter ended.
Amazon managed a 9 percent worldwide
share even though the Fire was available
only in the U.S. during the third quarter.
No. 4 tablet maker AsusTek Computer
Inc., which makes the Nexus 7 for
Google Inc., saw its shipments more
than triple to 2.4 million. It had a share
of 8.6 percent, up from 3.8 percent.
Competitors are turning up the pres-
sure on market leader Apple, said Ryan
Reith, a program manager for mobile
devices at IDC.
Amazon and Google will start ship-
ping larger versions of its tablets this
month. The Kindle Fire and Nexus 7
both have had screens measuring 7 inch-
es diagonally. Googles Nexus 10 will be
10.1 inches, while Amazons will be 8.9
inches. By comparison, the regular iPad
is 9.7 inches. Samsung is making the
larger Nexus tablet, while AsusTek will
continue making the 7-inch one.
Meanwhile, tablets and other devices
running Microsofts Windows system
started going on sale last month, after
the third quarter ended.
IDC: Apple 3Q share of tablets drops
By Barbara Ortutay
NEW YORK Instagram, the photo-
sharing app that was created for mobile
phones, is expanding to the Web.
The service will launch Instagram pro-
les on the Web over the next few days.
Previously, users proles existed only
on Instagrams mobile applications
accessed on the iPhone or Android
devices. Now, users will have a website
with a prole photo, bio and a selection
of the snapshots theyve recently shared
on Instagram.
Instragram, which is owned by
Facebook Inc., made its announcement
in a blog post Monday.
The layout of the Web proles is rem-
iniscent of Facebook timelines, except
with little text and no ads. Users will
have a large cover image thats a collage
of their old Instagram shots. Their pro-
le photo is on the right side and their
snapshots cascade down the page.
Facebook has insisted since it bought
Instagram this year that it will keep it
running as a separate service. That still
appears to be the case. The Instagram
Web pages dont link to Facebook and
dont ask users to log in using their
Facebook accounts.
Instagrams privacy settings are like
Twitters. Users can either choose to be
fully public, so that anyone can see and
comment on their photos, or private,
such that photos can be seen only to pre-
approved followers. Unlike with
Facebooks complex, granular privacy
controls, there is nothing in between.
Facebook, which is based in Menlo
Park agreed to buy Instagram in a deal
valued at $1 billion in April, before its
May initial public offering of stock.
Upon closing on Aug. 31, the deal was
worth $715.3 million because of
Facebooks fallen stock price.
Apple suit vs. Google
over patent rates dismissed
NEW YORK A federal judge in
Madison, Wis., on Monday threw out a
suit by Apple Inc. claiming that Google
subsidiary Motorola Mobility is seeking
unreasonably high license fees for the
use of patents on wireless technology.
The suit is part of a world-spanning
battle between Apple and Google, whose
Android software powers the smart-
phones that compete with Apples
iPhone. Google bought Motorola
Mobility, a once pioneering maker of
cellphones, this summer to gain control
of its patents and gain leverage against
Apple in its court battles.
Motorola has been seeking a license
fee of 2.25 percent of the price of Apple
devices that incorporate Wi-Fi or cellu-
lar technologies, including the iPhone
and iPod Touch. Motorola holds patents
that are essential to making the devices
work. In the suit led last year, Apple
said the fee was too high.
Motorola is obliged by standards-set-
ting bodies to offer licenses at reason-
able rates when the patents are part of
industry standards like Wi-Fi and cellu-
lar technology.

DOUBLE OUCH!: FIRST AND SECOND STRING RAIDERS RBs HAVE ANKLE SPRAINS >>> PAGE 12
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Woodside head volleyball coach Kyle
Mashima admits that upon looking at the
numbers following his teams win over
Sequoia High School last week, he was
a bit shocked.
When jotting down the kill totals, he
penciled in a 34 next to Christine
Alftins name.
It was shocking to me afterwards that
her numbers were that high, Mashima
said.
But it wasnt an error. The Daily
Journal was at that Peninsula Athletic
League Ocean Division championship
match and had her down for 35 kills
34 or 35, either way you slice it, the
result spelled complete dominance.
For the team, it was the champi-
onship, Mashima said of the win. It
was very important to us. And for her, to
be the driving force, it was denitely
important for her. Coming from St.
Francis, Im sure shes used to winning,
so she really had to carry the ball to
make it happen.
Talk about making a last rst impres-
sion.

Argos soccer going to NCAA big dance
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Notre Dame de Namur mens soccer
team is headed back to the NCAA
Tournament for the rst time since 2008 after
hearing their named called on the Selection
Show Monday afternoon.
The team and the coaching staff were just
excited, said NDNU head coach BJ Noble.
Were humbled to have an opportunity to
play in the big
tournament and
were just very
gracious about
the selection.
The Argos
make their sec-
ond trip ever to
the postseason after an impressive 13-4-1
record this year.
NDNU will enter the tournament as the
West Regions No. 5 seed and will square off
against No. 4 California State University-
Stanislaus 7 p.m. Thursday.
The contest will be played on the campus of
Cal State East Bay in Hayward with the win-
ner of the game set to face West Region top
seed Simon Fraser on Saturday.
The Warriors jumped from a No. 8 ranking
in last weeks poll to No. 4 after winning the
California Collegiate Athletic Association
Tournament last weekend. They come into the
game against NDNU with an 11-4-3 record.
The Argos and Warriors last squared off in the
season opener last year with CSU Stanislaus
taking the game 2-1 in Turlock.
The other side of the West Region bracket
will be held in Phoenix with No. 3 Seattle
Pacic and No. 6 Cal State Los Angeles fac-
ing off Thursday night.
The winner of that contest will face No. 2

Daily Journal sports department was
gearing up for our annual preseason
football previews. Yet here we are at the
beginning of November and the football sea-
son is in the nal week of the regular season

volleyball, tennis and
water polo get under
way this week. On
top of that, the bas-
ketball, soccer and
wrestling seasons
began with initial
practices last week.
Sports are about to
get real hot and
heavy now and here
are some thoughts on
the upcoming play-
offs.

Harbaugh shows no
concern over Smith
By Janie McCauley
SANTA CLARA San Francisco 49ers
coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that line-
backer Aldon Smith spoke with general man-
ager Trent Baalke about
what happened during the
bye week while the player
visited his former college,
Missouri.
The 23-year-old Smith
denied on Twitter a report
last Thursday that he had
been attacked earlier in
the day outside a restau-
rant in Columbia, Mo.,
saying, Didnt get
jumped stop asking. There was no formal
police report led.
Earlier, he had posted this tweet: Want to
clear up rumors of me getting jumped, Im ok
and doing well! Como! I missed you. Go
Tigers!!
I tend not to believe everything I read on
the Internet, Harbaugh said. Trent Baalke
talked to Aldon. Whats been relayed to me

San Franciscos players were due back to
work Tuesday as the NFC West-leading 49ers
(6-2) begin preparations for Sundays home
game against the division rival St. Louis
Rams.
Smith surely will be asked about the situa-
tion this week. This is just the latest off-eld
issue faced by the second-year pro, the sev-
enth overall draft pick in 2011 out of Mizzou
who set a franchise rookie record with 14
sacks last season also most among NFL
rookies for 2011.
In September just before the teams home
opener, Smith was the passenger in a car acci-
dent in Santa Clara County in which the driv-
er swerved to avoid hitting a deer. Smith sus-
tained a cut beneath his right eyebrow.
He was stabbed at his home in June, then
apologized at the start of training camp in late
July by saying, letting everybody down was
probably the saddest part. He also was
charged in late January with driving under the
inuence in Miami Beach just six days
after San Franciscos turnaround season
ended with a 20-17 overtime loss in the NFC
title game to the eventual Super Bowl cham-
pion New York Giants.
Smith has combined on 29 tackles and has 7
1/2 sacks and one forced fumble while start-
ing all eight games this year.
Continued from page 11
49ERS
ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders have
been struggling to run the ball with a healthy
Darren McFadden for most of this season.
Now that McFadden
and backup Mike
Goodson are both dealing
with high ankle sprains
that put their status in
doubt for this week, the
Raiders could have even
more concerns.
Coach Dennis Allen
said X-rays and an MRI
on McFadden came back
negative and Goodson
was undergoing an MRI on Monday. He said
the team would have to see how both players
respond and he would not rule them out yet
for when the Raiders (3-5) play in Baltimore
against the Ravens (6-2) on Sunday.
McFadden hurt his right ankle on the rst or
second carry of the game and tried to play
through it before leaving for good just before
halftime. McFadden had just seven carries for
17 yards and caught two passes for no yards in
the loss.
Darren wanted to be back out there, so that
wasnt a case where you risk any further
injury, Allen said. Darren is a competitor, he
wanted to be back out there, so we put him
back out there. Then came in at halftime, he
just wasnt going to be able to do it, so we
kept him out the rest of the game.
McFadden was one of the most dynamic
backs in the league the past two seasons when
healthy. But he missed 19 games over his rst
four seasons including nine last season
with foot, toe, shoulder, knee and hamstring
injuries.
While he has been healthy so far this year,
he has been far from effective, rushing for just
455 yards and two touchdowns in eight
games. His 3.3 yards per carry average is
sixth-worst in the league and the lowest for a
Raiders player since Pete Banaszaks 3.2 aver-
age in 1976.
Goodson has shown ashes at tailback with
111 yards on 17 carries and 14 catches for 173
yards but might not be able to go.
That leaves Taiwan Jones as the only
healthy halfback on the roster. Jones has one
carry and one reception all season and has
been limited by injuries and ball-security
issues.
Thats obviously something that hes got to
improve on, Allen said. Hes got to make
sure that he can protect the football and hes
got to make sure that he understands what his
assignments are. As we get more comfortable
with those things, hell earn more playing
time.
Allen said the team would look at bringing
in a running back this week as insurance. The
Raiders also could give more time to versatile
fullback Marcel Reece, who had eight catches
for 95 yards and a touchdown Sunday. Seven
of those catches came after McFadden got
hurt.
He also has 48 rushes for 234 yards in his
career.
Obviously with the health of our backs
right now, he becomes more of an option there
at the tailback position, but Marcel, hes pro-
vided some options for us, Allen said. Weve
used him in a lot of different ways. Now every
week he doesnt catch the ball for 100 yards or
rush for a 100 yards, but hes very much a part
of our offense and vital to our offense.
Along with possibly signing a running back,
the Raiders have roster decisions to make on
injured cornerback Ron Bartell and linebacker
Aaron Curry.
Bartell has been on short-term injured
reserve since breaking his left shoulder blade
in the season opener. He practiced all last
week and would be eligible to play against the
Ravens if the Raiders decide to activate him.
Its tough to get back, Bartell said. But I
denitely feel a lot better, a lot more con-
dent. Ive got another week to get prepared,
and thats what I plan on doing and well
make that decision on Saturday.
The Raiders have to make a decision on
Curry even sooner. He has been on the physi-
cally unable to perform list all season with
injured knees. If he is not activated before
Wednesdays practice, he would either have to
be cut or placed on season-ending injured
reserve.
Also, defensive tackle Desmond Bryant was
resting at home Monday after spending the
night the hospital with an irregular heartbeat.
He did not play in the second half and will
need to undergo further tests before he is able
to resume practicing.
NOTES: S Matt Giordano, who left
Sundays game with a hamstring injury, want-
ed to return but was held out as a precaution.
... Injured CB Shawntae Spencer (right foot)
will run on the eld Tuesday to see how he is
progressing and could practice Wednesday. ...
RT Khalif Barnes (groin) will be back at prac-
tice Wednesday for the rst time since Week 2
and Allen said the staff has discussed starting
rookie Tony Bergstrom at right tackle in place
of the struggling Willie Smith. ... Allen said
there have been no discussions about bringing
back CB Stanford Routt, who was waived by
Kansas City on Monday.

Sequoia coach Jane Slater was
concerned her squad would not
qualify for CCS. She cited the fact
the Cherokees play in the Ocean
Division of the Peninsula Athletic
League, which is a C league,
meaning, teams in C leagues
dont get a lot of power points. On
the positive side, Sequoia won a
couple of preseason tournaments
and the Cherokees nished in sec-
ond place in the Ocean Division.
Turns out the Cherokees record
of 27-6 was enough to earn them a
No. 9 seed in the Division I tourna-
ment. It could be a short stay, how-
ever. If Sequoia can beat No. 8
Gunn Wednesday, waiting in the
next round is top-seeded and two-
time defending CCS and reining
state champ Palo Alto (27-6).
Water Polo
Unlike most sports, water polo
is not dominated by the San Jose
schools, or the West Catholic
Athletic League, for that matter. In
fact, the Sacred Heart Prep boys
and girls teams have to be the
odds-on favorites to win dual titles
again as both are the top seeds in
the Division II tournament. The
SHP boys have been to seven
straight nals, winning four of
them. The SHP girls, meanwhile,
have won the last ve Division II
titles.
The Menlo School boys probably
have the best chance of knocking
off SHP. The Knights have squared
off with the Gators in the champi-
onship match six times since the
2003 season, with the teams split-
ting those games. The Knights are
the No. 2 seed.
In Division I boys tournament,
No. 3 Menlo-Atherton and No. 4
Serra will have some work to do if
they want to win a title. M-A has-
nt been to the championship match
since 2008, but are traditionally
one of the toughest outs in the tour-
nament. Serra has only advanced to
the seminals twice since 1995, the
most recent being 2010.
The good news for the Padres,
however, is the fact they have been
competitive with the teams stand-
ing in their way most notably
Bellarmine, a possible seminal
matchup and St. Francis, which
could be a Division I nalist. Serra
is coming off a win over the
Lancers in the third-place match of
the WCAL tournament.
Girls tennis
CCS did not give PAL teams any
love. Three teams regular-sea-
son champ Menlo-Atherton, tour-
nament champ Carlmont and
Burlingame all qualied for the
CCS tournament. None of them
received a home match. M-A and
Carlmont only have to go to San
Jose, however. Burlingame, on the
other hand, gets to head to
Hollister to face San Benito.
Also joining the PAL on the road
is Crystal Springs, which has to go
to Monterey. The one saving grace
for the Gryphons? They, at least,
get to play at the Pebble Beach
Tennis Center. While probably not
as prestigious as playing Pebble
Beach Golf Course, Im guessing
the Tennis Center is a very nice
facility.
***
While the Menlo-Atherton foot-
ball team wont win a PAL Bay
Division crown, it doesnt take
away from the fact that the Bears
athletic program had a banner fall
campaign.
Of the eight fall sports contested:
girls tennis, girls golf, volleyball,
football, boys and girls water
polo, and boys and girls cross
country, the Bears have won ve
league championships. The volley-
ball team went undefeated, while
the tennis team dropped only one
match in PAL play. Both the M-A
water polo teams went undefeated,
while the boys cross country team
snapped Carlmonts stranglehold
on the PAL team title.
The only championships to elude
the Bears? Girls golf, girls cross
country and the aforementioned
football.
***
The PAL in particular, and San
Mateo County in general, repre-
sented well at the CCS golf cham-
pionships last week.
Six players from the county and
PAL, combined, nished in the top-
25 out of 90 golfers. The best score
was posted San Mateo freshman
Aman Sangha, who nished in a tie
for third with a 72. That qualied
the PAL champ for the Northern
California tournament.
Menlo-Athertons Xin Fang n-
ished in a tie for 13th with a 77,
while San Mateo Lisa Sasaki was a
shot back at 78, good for a tie at
16th. Mercy-Burlingames Miranda
Wiss also red a 78 to tie with
Sasaki, while Menlo Schools
Jessie Rong shot a 79 to nish in a
tie for 19th. Aragons Kelly Fang
nished in a tie for 23rd after
shooting an 80.

OAKLAND Pitcher Bartolo
Colons new $3 million contract
with the Oakland Athletics could
pay him an additional $1.2 million
as a starter.
The AL West champion As
announced Saturday they had
reached agreement on a one-year
deal with the right-hander, who still
must sit out the nal ve games of
his 50-game suspension for a posi-
tive testosterone test.
Colon, the 2005 AL Cy Young
Award winner, also can earn
$300,000 as a reliever, plus an addi-
tional $700,000 as a closer for $1
million total.
He would earn $200,000 each for
10, 15, 17, 20, 22 and 25 starts, and
$200,000 each for 140, 150, 160,
170, 180 and 190 innings. He also
would make $100,000 each for 30,
35, 40, 45, 50, 55 and 60 games n-
ished.
If used as a reliever, the 39-year-
old Colon would receive $100,000
each for 40, 50 and 60 relief appear-
ances.
Yankees claim Whiteside
off waivers from S.F. Giants
NEW YORK Giving them-
selves another backup catching
option, the New York Yankees have
claimed Eli Whiteside off waivers
from the San Francisco Giants.
The 33-year-old was 1 for 11 in
12 games for the Giants this year,
when he hit .224 with one homer
and 20 RBIs in 60 games at Triple-
A Fresno. He appeared in 56 games
for San Franciscos World Series
champions in 2010 and 82 last year.
He was not on this years World
Series roster as the Giants won their
second title in three years.
New York starter Russell Martin
became a free agent. Chris Stewart
was his backup, with Francisco
Cervelli at Triple-A. Austin Romine
was limited to 31 games in the
minor leagues because of a back
injury.
As re-sign Bartolo Colon to 1-
year deal, Whiteside claimed
SACRAMENTO DeMarcus
Cousins scored 23 points and
grabbed 15 rebounds, and the
Sacramento Kings held off the
Golden State Warriors 94-92
Monday night to avoid an 0-4 start.
Cousins outworked slow-footed
Andrew Bogut and every other
Warriors big man to help
Sacramento score 16 straight points
during the third quarter and bust
open a tie game.
Bogut hardly looked to be at full
strength. He had 12 points and three
rebounds while playing almost 19
minutes as Golden States new fran-
chise center and his surgically
repaired left ankle eases back
into shape.
Klay Thompson had 22 points
and David Lee added 20 points to
bring the Warriors within a point in
the final minute. But Thompson
missed a potential tying jumper and
Stephen Curry missed a 3-pointer as
time expired to seal Golden States
rst road loss this season.
Marcus Thornton scored 16
points and Aaron Brooks had 12 for
Sacramento in its home opener.
After losing the rst three games on
the road, a return to Californias
capital city ignited a stagnant start
this season.
The Kings wore their black road
uniforms for the blackout theme
and the Warriors stayed with their
blue road jerseys. Fog machines
filled the floor during pregame
introductions, which included team
dancers in black hoods and
Medieval gear.
Even Kings coach Keith Smart
showed some athleticism on the
court.
After Thornton made a 3-pointer
halfway through the second quarter,
a black tarp fell from the scoreboard
while Golden State had the ball on
the other end. Ofcials whistled the
play dead, and Smart sprinted onto
the court to grab the plastic, and
playfully ran back to the bench like
a running back holding a football.
The light-hearted moment drew
cheers. Once the crowd quieted,
Smart gestured his hands for fans to
cheer more. They responded and
so did his players.
Thornton threw an alley-oop that
rookie Thomas Robinson nished
for a one-handed slam on an uncon-
tested fast break, and Aaron Brooks
followed with a 3-pointer to give
Sacramento a 47-35 lead.
Bogut played the rst 5:17 and sat
out the rest of the rst half. At one
point, he also took the shoe off his
surgically repaired left foot while
sitting on the bench.
Golden State quickly tied the
score at 56-all on Currys 3-pointer
with 8:52 remaining in the third
quarter. The Warriors didnt make
another basket for more than six
minutes.
The Kings scored 16 straight
points behind a urry of defense,
rebounding and overall effort.
Cousins had the nal ve points
during Sacramentos surge, includ-
ing ripping a rebound away from
rookie Festus Ezeli and drawing a
foul to start a three-point play.
In separate second-half incidents,
three more pieces of plastic fell
down from the scoreboard hanging
above center court. Some fans even
chanted New Arena!
The Kings still managed to hold
things together barely.
Kings hold off Warriors for first win

Enright won the WBAL girls individual
title, setting a freshman record for the cham-
pionships in the process. Enright ran the 2.95-
mile course in 19 minutes, 5 seconds beat-
ing the previous freshman best of 19:11.1 set
last season by Woodside Priorys Gillian
Belton.
Her teammate, Lizzie Lacy, nished behind

RUNNING BACKS, RUNNING BACKS,
RUNNING BACKS
There were several running backs who car-
ried their teams last week.
Eric Redwood of Serra High School contin-
ues to have a Player of the Year kind of cam-
paign. In a 47-21 drubbing of St. Ignatius, No.
2 carried the ball for 227 yards on 27 carries.
He also found the end zone on a 12-yard run
in the fourth quarter to seal the victory for the
Padres.
He gives his heart and soul to the team
every single week, Serra head coach Patrick
Walsh said of his stud running back after the
win. Were fortunate that hes a Serra Padre.
And when it comes to what Serra High School
can do for an individual across the board
campus ministry, academics and athletics
its the perfect storm for him so Im really
proud of him.
Justin Ewing of Capuchino High School
positioned himself within striking distance of
the Central Coast Section record for most
rushing yards in a single season following
Capuchinos win over Carlmont High School
where No. 40 ran for 297 yards and four
touchdowns.
Ewing needs 279 yards to eclipse the total
of Burlingames Onan Reyes and his 2,798
yards in 1997. He can reach that number as
early as next Saturday against rival Mills High
School during The Battle of the Strip.
Ryan Gaertner was spectacular in Sacred
Heart Preps latest win a 40-8 drubbing of
Half Moon Bay. Gaertner rushed for 131
yards on 19 carries and caught a 30-yard
touchdown pass in the win. Gaertner also
scored a rushing touchdown.
SCORING MACHINES
Its not about quantity, folks. Its about
quality.
Sacred Heart Preps Chris Lee is a perfect
example of that. In SHPs win over the
Cougars, Lee touched the ball seven times and
he found the end zone on three of those occa-
sions. Lee scored on runs of 8 and 2 yards,
and he added a 13-yard touchdown catch.
Along the same line, Dylan Anderson of
Sequoia High School had himself quite the
night in the Cherokees bounce-back victory
over the Kings Academy. Anderson had eight
touches in that game and scored on touch-
down runs of 2 and 10 yards, plus an 8-yard
TD snag.
Menlos Peter Bouret went touchdown
happy in the Knights 56-14 win over
Jefferson. Bouret caught a 21-yard touchdown
pass from Jack Heneghan in the third quarter.
But before then, Bouret returned kickoffs of
86 and 99 yards all the way to the house.
And its been a successful return from
injury for South San Franciscos Robert
Johnson. After injuring himself in a non-
league game against Capuchino, Johnson sat
out until the Menlo game in Week 8 of the
season and has added another dimension to
the South City offense. In their latest win
against Woodside, the Warriors got a couple
of touchdowns catches from the senior 12
and 15 yards.
BURLINGAME IN BEASTMODE
Needing a win to make it to its fth consec-
utive trip to the Central Coast Section play-
offs, Burlingame High School turned to its
trio of talented running backs to stamp a tick-
et to the dance.
Manese Palu ran for 166 yards on 19 car-
ries, Keone Keahi added 160 on 28 and Joe
Mahes 39 yards on 14 touches were instru-
mental in Burlingames win. So effective were
the Panthers on the ground that Burlingame
only attempted four passes the entire evening
completing just one.

ROLL
AOTW
Alftin has carried the Wildcats since Oct. 1
when she completed her transfer window from
St. Francis High School and put on the orange
Woodside jersey. The Wildcats have yet to drop
a PAL match since the juniors debut and last
weeks win against the Cherokees typied the
sort of performance the Wildcats have come to
expect from her Alftin has hit .395 since her
debut against Jefferson High School and aver-
aged 4.6 kills a set.
Against Sequoia though, those numbers read
.596 and 8.5.
For her efforts, Alftin is the Daily Journal
Athlete of the Week.
Its tough when youre that good of a player
and have to sit 12 matches, Mashima said of
Alftin and another transfer, Dani Walsh. I have
to tell you, they were the best bench support
Ive ever seen. They cheered the team on every
match and they worked hard at practice regard-
less.
And since they hit they court, its been good
luck, PAL Ocean.
Its a whole other level of volleyball,
Mashima said. She and Walsh are elite level
players. Theyre very talented players who are
good in every aspect of the game. It really
pushed the level of the team by a huge amount.
Were probably a sub-200 ranking in the state
without them. Now, were about 100.
In that game against Sequoia, Alftin was on
cruise control in sets 1, 2 and 4. But in the third
set, she was unstoppable. No. 11 had 15 of
Woodsides 19 kills we believe the term is,
en fuego.
I think the key thing was working every sin-
gle rally and just being patient, Mashima said.
And just working hard. We call it grinding it
out and thats what she did. We played good
defense and thats what we had to do. And
thats what I think knocked the wind out of
[Sequoia].
Alftin leads Woodside into the Central Coast
Section playoffs where the Wildcats will take
on her former team, St. Francis a really
tough draw.

Grand Canyon on Saturday.
Cal State Stanislaus is a very
well coached team, Noble said.
Theyre going to be very disci-
plined, very organized. Their sys-
tem is very difcult to break down.
Theyre physical, theyre very good
on set pieces. They rely on you
making mistakes.
However, we believe if we stay
with our game plan and we stay
organized ourselves, disciplined,
that this be a great match just two
great programs slugging it out.
NDNU nished the season with a
13-4-1 overall record while going
10-3-1 in the Pacific West
Conference. The Argos faced two of
the other West Region selections
this season, defeating No. 2 Grand
Canyon 3-1 on Sept. 17 and falling
4-2 to No. 3 Seattle Pacic in the
season opener. Noble said the win
over Grand Canyon was a major
turning point in the season.
We felt we had the makings of a
solid team and we could go fairly
far, Noble said of the 3-1 win. It
kind of gave us a fair measuring
stick as far as where were at.
Junior Armando Garcia leads
the team with 24 points on eight
goals and eight assists while jun-
ior Jonathan Gonzalez is tops on
the team with nine goals. Junior
midfielder Jesus Gonzalez is third
on the team with five goals and
six assists with sophomore
defender Mikhail Wingate-Pearse
adding four goals.
Sophomore goalie Jay Tsuruoka
anchors the defense which allowed
just 18 goals in 18 games.
The overall chemistry of the
group, Noble said when asked
what the key to 2012s success has
been. Its kind of odd we have so
many young players, but you
wouldnt know that. Theyve
matured quite quickly. Theyre a
family. When one of our stars is
down, one of the young guys is
there to pick him up. Just, the over-
all balance of the team. Were just
more of a complete team than the
teams Ive had in the past.
The Argos will be making their
first appearance in the NCAA
Tournament since 2008 when they
headed to Southern California as the
No. 4 seed.
NDNU lost 3-0 to eventual
National Champion CSU
Dominguez Hills.
Its shows how far the university
and the soccer program has come
since becoming an NCAA-eligible
program, Noble said.
Its an attribute to our universi-
ty, our athletic department and also
to the players in our program.
Theyre the ones that go out and
train and work and ght every day.
They deserve all the credit.

The Argos are expecting major

New Orleans Saints
clip Eagles in MNF
NEW ORLEANS Drew Brees
threw two touchdown passes,
extending his NFL record streak to
51 games, and Patrick Robinson
returned an interception 99 yards for
a score to lead the New Orleans
Saints to a much-needed win, 28-13
over Michael Vick and the reeling
Philadelphia Eagles on Monday
night.
The Saints (3-5) bounced back
from a dismal 34-14 loss at Denver,
also getting a 22-yard touchdown
run from Chris Ivory.
Philadelphia (3-5) lost its fourth
straight, which is sure to keep the
heat on Vick and embattled coach
Andy Reid. Vick threw a 77-yard
touchdown pass to DeSean Jackson
in the third quarter, but that was
about the only highlight for the vis-
iting team which saw Vick sacked
seven times.
Not that they didnt have their
chances. The Eagles had rst-and-
goal four times and managed only
two eld goals by Alex Henery. In
fact, they were outscored in those
situations, with Robinson going the
other way for a touchdown just
when it looked like Philadelphia
was on the verge of scoring.
Rubbing salt in the wound,
Philadelphia squandered a chance to
get back in the game with a brilliant
trick play on a kickoff return. Riley
Cooper laid at in the end zone,
unseen by the Saints, then popped
up to take a cross-eld lateral from
Brandon Boykin.
Cooper streaked down the sideline
for an apparent touchdown. Only
one problem Boykins lateral was
actually a forward pass by about a
yard, ruining the play with a penal-
ty. Cooper stood with his hands on
his hips, in disbelief, as the ofcials
brought it back.
Philadelphia finished with 447
yards the eighth straight team to
put up more than 400 yards on the
Saints. That was already the longest
streak of 400-yard games given up
by a defense since at least 1950, and
maybe in the history of the NFL,
putting New Orleans on pace to
shatter the record for most yards
allowed in a season.

LOS ANGELES Multivitamins
might help lower the risk for cancer in
healthy older men but do not affect their
chances of developing heart disease,
new research suggests.
Two other studies found sh oil didnt
work for an irregular heartbeat condition
called atrial brillation, even though it is
thought to help certain people with heart
disease or high levels of fats called
triglycerides in their blood.
The bottom line: Dietary supplements
have varied effects and whether one is
right for you may depend on your per-
sonal health prole, diet and lifestyle.
Many people take vitamin supple-
ments as a crutch, said study leader Dr.
Howard Sesso of Brigham and Womens
Hospital in Boston. Theyre no substi-
tute for a heart-healthy diet, exercising,
not smoking, keeping your weight
down, especially for lowering heart
risks.
The studies were presented Monday at
an American Heart Association confer-
ence in Los Angeles.
A separate analysis released in con-
nection with the meeting showed that at
least 1 in 3 baby boomers who are in
good shape will eventually develop heart
problems or have a stroke. The upside is
that that will happen about seven years
later than for their less healthy peers.
The study is a wake-up call that this
disease is very prevalent in the United
States and even if youre doing a good
job, youre not immune, said Dr.
Vincent Bufalino, a Chicago-area cardi-
ologist and spokesman for the American
Heart Association.
The ndings came in an analysis of
five major studies involving nearly
50,000 adults aged 45 and older who
were followed for up to 50 years.
The research was published online by
the Journal of the American Medical
Association, along with the vitamin
paper and one sh oil study.
Multivitamins are Americas favorite
dietary supplement. About one-third of
adults take them. Yet no government
agency recommends their routine use for
preventing chronic diseases, and few
studies have tested them to see if they
can.
A leading preventive medicine task
force even recommends against beta-
carotene supplements, alone or with
other vitamins, to prevent cancer or heart
disease because some studies have found
them harmful. And vitamin K can affect
bleeding and interfere with some com-
monly used heart drugs.
Sessos study involved nearly 15,000

students, would show the students how to
react and get away from the situation.
One 10-year-old said he knew it was possi-
ble to get out of such holds but didnt know
how. Now he does. He enjoyed learning that.
Today, girls at Tierra Linda will have a
chance to learn the same moves. The Sheriffs
Activities League last week sponsored a simi-
lar training session at Central Middle School
in San Carlos.

healthy male doctors given monthly pack-
ets of Centrum Silver or fake multivita-
mins. After about 11 years, there were no
differences between the groups in heart
attacks, strokes, chest pain, heart failure
or heart-related deaths.
Side effects were fairly similar except for
more rashes among vitamin users. The
National Institutes of Health paid for most of
the study. Pzer Inc. supplied the pills and
other companies supplied the packaging.
The same study a few weeks ago found that
multivitamins cut the chance of developing
cancer by 8 percent a modest amount and
less than what can be achieved from a good
diet, exercise and not smoking.
Multivitamins also may have different
results in women or people less healthy than
those in this study only 4 percent smoked,
for example.
The fish-oil studies tested prescription-
strength omega-3 capsules from several com-
panies in two different groups of people for
preventing atrial fibrillation, a fluttering,
irregular heartbeat.
One study from South America aimed to
prevent recurrent episodes in 600 participants
who already had the condition. The other
sought to prevent it from developing in 1,500
people from the U.S., Italy and Argentina hav-
ing various types of heart surgery, such as
valve replacement. About one third of heart-
surgery patients develop atrial brillation as a
complication.
Both studies found sh oil ineffective.

LOS ANGELES Researchers are report-
ing a key advance in using stem cells to repair
hearts damaged by heart attacks. In a study,
stem cells donated by strangers proved as
safe and effective as patients own cells for
helping restore heart tissue.
The work involved just 30 patients in
Miami and Baltimore, but it proves the con-
cept that anyones cells can be used to treat
such cases. Doctors are excited because this
suggests that stem cells could be banked for
off-the-shelf use after heart attacks, just as
blood is kept on hand now.
Results were discussed Monday at an
American Heart Association conference in
California and published in the Journal of the
American Medical Association.
The study used a specic type of stem cells
from bone marrow that researchers believed
would not be rejected by recipients. Unlike
other cells, these lack a key feature on their
surface that makes the immune system see
them as foreign tissue and attack them,
explained the studys leader, Dr. Joshua Hare
of the University of Miami.
The patients in the study had suffered heart
attacks years earlier, some as long as 30 years
ago. All had developed heart failure because
the scar tissue from the heart attack had
weakened their hearts so much that they grew
large and abby, unable to pump blood effec-
tively.
Researchers advertised for people to sup-
ply marrow, which is removed using a needle
into a hip bone. The cells were taken from
the marrow and amplified for about a month
in a lab at Baltimores Johns Hopkins
University, then returned to Miami to be
used for treatment, which did not involve
surgery.
The cells were delivered through a tube
pushed through a groin artery into the heart
near the scarred area. Fifteen patients were
given cells from their own marrow and 15
others, cells from strangers.
About a year later, scar tissue had been
reduced by about one-third. Both groups had
improvements in how far they could walk and
in quality of life. There was no signicant
difference in one measure of how well their
hearts were able to pump blood, but doctors
hope these patients will continue to improve
over time, or that renements in treatment
will lead to better results.
The big attraction is being able to use cells
supplied by others, with no blood or tissue
matching needed.
You could have the cells ready to go in the
blood bank so when the patient comes in for
a therapy theres no delay, Hare said. Its
also cheaper to make the donor cells, and a
single marrow donor can supply enough cells
to treat as many as 10 people.
Dr. Elliott Antman of Harvard-afliated
Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston
who heads the heart conference, praised the
work.
That opens up an entire new avenue for
stem cell therapy, like a sophisticated version
of a blood bank, he said. Theres an advan-
tage in not having to create a cell therapy for
each patient, and it could spare them the pain
and wait of having their own marrow harvest-
ed, he said.
The study was sponsored by the National
Institutes of Health. Hare owns stock in a
biotech company working on a treatment
using a mixture of cells.

ban for the health and safety of the
workers and others, Freschet said at a
special study session last night.
But a long list of gardeners and land-
scapers said a ban would hurt their busi-
nesses and put some of them out of
work.
I will lose 50 percent of my jobs. We
really need the blower. I have three
kids, said Yoshi Kamikihara, a 30-year
gardener who services about 12 yards a
day.
Gardener Jose Gonzalez told the
council that proper education would
eliminate a lot of leaf blower complaints
in the city as did Ricardo Reyes, who
said a ban was not reasonable.
We have to put food on the table,
said Mario Rodriguez, among about 10
gardeners who spoke to the council last
night during a public hearing.
Lim suggested garden vacuums might
be a better solution than leaf blowers
since the device sucks up leaves into
compostible bags.
We are using 1970s technology in
the 21st century, Lim said.
The council had three options before
it last night: an outright ban; a certica-
tion program, which would limit gas-
powered leaf blower noise levels to 65
decibels or less; or improved enforce-
ment of the current leaf blower ordi-
nance.
All three options would cost the city
an additional $160,000 to $200,000 a
year to implement with the creation
of new jobs, according to city staff.
City staff suggested nes and
fees could help offset the cost
of the programs.
While health concerns
were a major reason for
leaning toward the
ban, not all agreed.
Councilmen
J a c k
Mat t hews
a n d
Robert
Ross said there
was not enough data
to support a ban and
requested more informa-
tion before making a deci-
sion.
Ross said the state or even the
federal government should decide the
matter.
The issue is bigger than San Mateo,
he said.
Matthews said a rake would not be a
suitable tool to use to get the leaves off
his roof.
A rake is not always useful,
Matthews said.
Lim suggested that if the city does
ban leaf blowers, then it could possi-
bly subsidize the gardeners who
would gravitate toward the more sus-
tainable vacuum devices.
We dont want to penalize the gar-
deners but nd ways to give them the
proper tools, to nd alternatives,
Lim said.
Jay Finkelstein, however, said
the citys current ordinance
could work if the city were to
enforce it.
Leaf blowers, he said,
make quick, efficient
work out of a job that
could otherwise be
hours of drudgery.
Finkelstein is a former
San Mateo Public Works
commissioner.
Earlier this year, the
Burlingame City Council amended
its municipal code to restrict the use of
leaf blowers by day, hour and zone.
Some questioned why the city was not
moving in that direction.
The council will not take the issue up
formally until early 2013 when it makes
a vote on amending its municipal code
related to leaf blowers.
The citys police department elds
between 30 and 40 complaints a year
related to leaf blowers, according to a
staff report.
Currently, leaf blowers are allowed to
be used weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Use
is prohibited on Sundays and major hol-
idays.
The City Council adopted a leaf blow-
er ordinance in 1997.
BLOWER
that sharing dispatch and records could
save Burlingame about $282,000 and
San Mateo $459,000 annually.
Revisiting those numbers to include soft
costs, however, shows far less savings.
And, if the cities opted to just share dis-
patch, San Mateo would actually end up
paying more, said Burlingame Police
Chief Ed Wood during a study session
with the City Council Monday evening.
Instead, Wood is suggesting
Burlingame consider upgrading the sys-
tem an estimated $400,000 project
to allow it to easily partner with other
cities. Such a move would allow for
cities to partner virtually to create an
additional savings. Even without a part-
ner, the city would still work more ef-
ciently and save enough in annual main-
tenance fees over six years to pay for the
upfront costs, Wood said.
The amount of labor wasted on writ-
ing reports is unbelievable. Thats my
driving push, he said. The bottom line:
We need to better utilize what we have.
While the council didnt sign off on
the change, it also didnt express opposi-
tion. Instead, questions were posed.
Councilman Michael Brownrigg, for
example, wanted to know if the system
would benet Burlingame even if the
virtual partnerships never material-
ized. Wood believed it would.
Upgrading emergency lines, business
lines and the computer assisted dispatch
system, known as CAD, would mean
Burlingame would be using the same
upgraded system as most of the cities in
San Mateo County, said Wood. As a
result, it would be in a position to easily
take on virtual partners.
Virtual partnerships would allow cities
to continue to provide services in their
respective cities. If help was needed
because it was after hours or someone
was sick or needed a break the part-
ner city could take over the call logs with
a system that also shares the call infor-
mation. Currently, calls can be shared
but the information isnt inputted into
one place which creates a lot extra work,
said Wood.
Through Woods proposed software
change, cities can log off and another
city in the group could cover the night,
for example. Creating such a partnership
with two or more cities would result in
an estimated annual savings of $150,000
to $200,000 per year, Wood said. The
difference in savings would come from
whether Burlingame wanted to provide
dispatch services for others or have
another city cover some of its dispatch
needs.
City Manager Jim Nantell said the
citys previous shared service plan was-
nt going to create the expected savings.
This is the new focus, he said.
Sharing police services between the
two cities has been discussed for some
time.
In 2010, Burlingame considered nam-
ing San Mateo Deputy Police Chief
Mike Callagy as its interim police chief.
The move was thought to be a rst step
toward possibly merging services. At the
time, Burlingame police, past and pres-
ent, expressed major concerns about
such a move before a third party ana-
lyzed benets of sharing services. While
the San Mateo City Council approved
the move, Burlingame unanimously
denied it. Shortly after, the cities agreed
to a study the possibility of merging
services which could result in a com-
bined savings of $1.36 million annually,
according to the Citygate report.
Depending on how the savings are split,
Burlingame looked at spending an addi-
tional $543,000 to saving $796,000,
according to the Citygate report.
Without a bigger savings, the council
thought a full merger should be off the
table.
POLICE
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2012
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- When it comes to
career matters, what you know is of far greater
importance than whom you know. Trade on your
experience, knowledge and capabilities, not on your
social contacts.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Be careful,
because a friends well-meaning advice might be
more emotional than practical. If youre in dire need
of good counsel, seek out the opinions of a pal with
a level head.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Being a bit too
susceptible to other peoples viewpoints could quickly
get you off course. Instead of relying on other peoples
opinions, follow your own logical evaluations.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Its OK to be as frank
as possible when dealing with others who need the
facts. The truth might be a trife abrasive, but turn out
to be less harmful in the long run.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- This could be a rather
disruptive day, in which you might have to deal with
more unexpected changes than usual. Deal with each
crisis separately, and everything will be manageable.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- When you start to
demand perfection from others, you had better
be prepared to be fawless yourself. Your slightest
mistake will be held up to ridicule.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Several signifcant
objectives can be achieved if you have the necessary
fxity of purpose. However, in going about your busi-
ness, you need to be careful that you dont sacrifce
effciency for speed.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Guard against being
overly possessive of friends and/or loved ones. Even if
you are one of their favorites, they need the chance to
socialize with all kinds of people, the same as you do.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you plan to do a little
shopping, take along one of your more tight-fsted
friends who can help you monitor any extravagant
urges. You could be more impulsive than you realized.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- When your decisions are
based upon practical premises, your reasoning is usu-
ally sound and effective. Allow sentiment or emotion
to dominate, however, and it could be another story.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Keep in mind that prices
arent always carved in stone. If there is something
youd like to buy but you think is too expensive, dont
hesitate to haggle for a better deal.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Make it a point to keep
your nose out of a close friends commercial affairs
unless youre invited to do so. By the same token,
dont let anyone get in your business, either.

section 2923.5 of the California Civil
Code, the declaration from the mortga-

ty Recorder's Office. NOTICE TO PO-
TENTIAL BIDDERS If you are consider-
ing bidding on this property lien, you
should understand that there are risks in-
volved in bidding at a trustee auction.
You will be bidding on a lien, not on a
property itself. Placing the highest bid at
a trustee auction does not automatically
entitle you to free and clear ownership of
the property. You should also be aware
that the lien being auctioned off may be a
junior lien. If you are the highest bidder
at the auction, you are or may be respon-
sible for paying off all liens senior to the
lien being auctioned off, before you can
receive clear title to the property. You
are encouraged to investigate the exis-
tence, priority, and size of outstanding
liens that may exist on this property by
contacting the county recorder's office or
a title insurance company, either of
which may charge you a fee for this infor-
mation. If you consult either of these re-
sources, you should be aware that the
lender may hold more than one mort-
gage or deed of trust on the property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER The
sale date shown on this notice of sale
may be postponed one or more times by
the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a
court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the
California Civil Code. The law requires
that information about trustee sale post-
ponements be made available to you and
to the public, as a courtesy to those not
present at the sale. If you wish to learn
whether your sale date has been post-
poned, and, if applicable, the resched-
uled time and date for the sale of this
property, you may call 1-800-281-8219
