As the San Mateo County
Community College District
awaits word on its accreditation, it
is considering adopting a resolu-
tion advocating for careful review
of the community college accredi-
tation agency and expressing
deep concern
for the strained
r e l a t i ons hi ps
between said
agency and
many colleges.
B o a r d
President Karen
Schwarz said
she would
absolutely vote in favor of the res-
olution since she believes there
needs to be more oversight of the
agency. The district especially
buckled down since City College
of San Francisco was told this
summer it will lose its accredita-
tion in less than a year.
Theres a lot of questions being
asked about this agency, she
said. It has all come to a boiling
point. [City College] and a couple
other colleges have been unjustly
sanctioned.
The Accrediting Commission
for Community and Junior
Colleges, the agency that certies
two-year colleges in the western
United States, recently visited the
district for an accreditation
review. Though there will be a dis-
cussion at a meeting next Tuesday
night about the resolution, no
action will be taken on the item
then.
The draft of the resolution states
the troubled nature of the relation-
ship between the agency and many

NEWYORK Shares of Twitter
went on sale to the public for the
rst time Thursday, instantly leap-
ing more than 70 percent above
their offering price in a dazzling
debut that exceeded even Wall
Streets lofty hopes.
By the closing bell, the social
network that reinvented global
communication in 140-character
bursts was valued at $31 billion
nearly as much as Yahoo Inc., an
Internet icon from another era, and
just below Kraft Foods, the gro-
cery conglomerate founded more
than a century ago.
The stocks sizzling perform-
ance seemed to afrm the bright
prospects for Internet companies,
especially those focused on
mobile users. And it could invite
more entrepreneurs to consider
IPOs, which lost their luster after
Facebooks rst appearance on the
Nasdaq was marred by glitches.
In Silicon Valley, the IPO pro-
duced another crop of millionaires
and billionaires, some of whom
are sure to fund a new generation of
startups.
Twitter, which has never turned a
prot in the seven years since it
was founded, worked hard to tem-
per expectations ahead of the IPO,
but all that was swiftly forgotten

Apopular downtown San Mateo
tea spot that serves up a variety of
boba-based drinks is expanding to
Burlingame Avenue in late
November.
Tpumps, located on B Street,
expanded to Irving Street in San
Francisco this past summer and its
owner, Alex Su, decided
Burlingame would be a great new
location to ease the San Mateo
stores long lines.
I feel terrible to make cus-
tomers wait such a long time, Su,

County budget
facing more losses
The week of Nov. 8, 2008, San
Mateo County was looking at
approximately $13 million more in
budget shortfalls than previously
anticipated due to a mix of fewer
property transfer
taxes, the Lehman
Brothers investment
loss and the overall
struggling nancial
atmosphere.
Obviously, there are not a lot
of good things in the local economy
in the last several months, Budget
Director Jim Sacco said at that weeks
meeting of the county nance and
operations committee.
The county ended scal year 2007-
2008 with $309.3 million in discre-
tionary general purpose revenue
approximately $3.8 million less than
mid-year projections.
The shortfall was chalked up to
$1.8 million less in property transfer
taxes, $1.9 million in fewer interest
earnings and $691,777 less state
mandated cost reimbursements.
Revenue, too, was looking like
$915,000 below the anticipated
reduced budget and the Lehman
Brothers loss hit the general fund
with a $11.8 million shortfall.
Historic moment hits home
The week of Nov. 8, 2008 held a
moment many of the 150 people
gathered in a downtown San Mateo
bar never thought they would see.
There was a time when black San
Mateo residents were denied home
loans in the 1950s or were dissuaded
from buying in certain neighbor-
hoods in the 1980s. For them, Barack
Obamas presidential vic-
tory was the latest chapter
in an ongoing struggle for
equality in the nation.
So many times we work
hard, get a victory and then
stop. This is a celebration but tomor-
row our work starts. Ask what can I do
and what can we do together, the
Rev. Larry Ellis told the crowd gath-
ered at B St. Billiards.
Debt company sued for
misleading customers
Many customers of Freedom Debt
Relief actually incurred greater debt
through late fees and collection law-
suits because the San Mateo-based
nancial services company purposely
misled consumers to get their busi-
ness, San Mateo County prosecutors
said the week of Nov. 8, 2008.
The Consumer and Environmental
Unit of the District Attorneys Ofce
joined with the California Department
of Corporation to sue Freedom Debt
Relief, LLC, Freedom Financial net-
work, LLC and company owners
Andrew Housser and Brad Stroh. The
lawsuit led Oct. 30, 2008 in San
Mateo County Superior Court claims
the defendants engaged in unlawful
business practices, including making
false or misleading statements to
consumers via the Internet and tele-
phone to induce them to buy debt
reduction services. The suit also
claims the company violated the state
nancial code by operating without a
business license from the
Department of Corporation.
The business, located at
1875 S. Grant St. in San
Mateo, advertised having
approximately $1 billion in debt
under management throughout the
United States.
Jobless rate
bolts to 14-year high
The nations unemployment rate
bolted to a 14-year high of 6.5 per-
cent in October 2008 as another
240,000 jobs were cut, far worse than
economists expected and stark proof
the economy is deteriorating at an
alarmingly rapid pace, it was reported
the week of Nov. 8, 2008.
The new snapshot, released that
week by the Labor Department,
showed the crucial jobs market quick-
ly eroding. The jobless rate zoomed
to 6.5 percent in October 2008 from
6.1 percent in September 2008,
matching the rate in March 1994.

Lift, tone, burn is the motto for an exten-
sion of a tness craze being brought to
Burlingame by Peninsula native Alyssa
Bothman this weekend.
Pure Barre, which targets the hips,
thighs, seat, abdominals and arms, com-
bines dance techniques and tness elements
for a full-body workout concentrating on
the areas women struggle with the most.
Clients utilize a ballet barre to perform
small isometric movements. Bothman
taught at Pure Barre in New York, then relo-
cated to the Bay Area and brought Pure Barre
with her.
Its important to take care of the body
and live a healthy lifestyle, said Bothman,
who is the new studios owner and manager.
The workout satises me physically and it
targets the right areas all in an hour. You can
always make one hour a day for yourself and
you leave feeling accomplished.
Before teaching, Bothman began as a
client at Pure Barre, more than two years ago
in New York City at the same time that she
was pursing professional dance. She says
she herself participates on barre classes, as
a student, seven days a week. Since moving
back to California, she has taught in the
Marina District in San Francisco, Marin
County, Palo Alto and Los Altos.
My whole family is here, she said.
They pulled me back home.
Doing contemporary dancing with
Amalgamate Dance Company in New York,
Bothman said it was an interesting transi-
tion from college into the real world. She
learned that dance is a short-lived career.
Dance wore me out, she said. It was
partly New York and partly that dancing is a
lot about who you know and I didnt have
much of a network in New York. It was dif-
cult to navigate and it took a toll on me. I
didnt have anybody to lean on.
Bothman said she feels like she is exactly
where she is supposed to be now though and
is happy with the positive environment
shes found at Pure Barre.
Bothman, who graduated from Santa Clara
University in 2011 with degrees in nance
and dance, is from Los Gatos.
Ive always wanted to use that business
sense and creative side to me, said
Bothman, who lives in San Francisco.
She also plans to teach at the studio as
well since she enjoys it so much.
What I love about teaching is the
clients, she said. The workout suits all
types of people. I taught a class with an 18-
year-old and a 70-year-old. Clients see
results after 10 classes and its amazing to
see the transformation.
The classes are community builders and
she feels very much part of the lives of her
clients, Bothman said.
The best compliment is a client saying it
was the best hour of their day, she said.
Pure Barre, which rst started in the base-
ment of an ofce building in Birmingham,
Mich. in 2001, became a franchise in 2009
and has four studios in California.
Burlingame will be the fth when it opens
this coming Saturday.
There are six all-new instructors, includ-
ing Bothmans older sister Ashton, at the
studio, plus Bothman. The Burlingame
space is about 2,200 square feet total, with
the studio taking up about 1,000 square feet.
The location on Chapin Avenue is ideal
since it is close enough to downtown for
convenience, but also a bit hidden and
includes a parking garage at the back,
Bothman said.
The studio is located at 1440 Chapin Ave.,
Suite 100. To sign up for an introductory
pre-opening deal of ve weeks of classes for
$100 visit purebarre.com/ca-burlingame.
There is also limited space for free classes
on Saturday, the studios opening day.

Teen propositioned on way to school
San Mateo police are looking for assistance from the
community after a 16-year-old girl was accosted Wednesday
on her way to school.
At approximately 8 a.m., the girl was
contacted by a man in a white Honda CRV
or similar vehicle in the area of 31st
Avenue between Isabelle Avenue and
Alameda de las Pulgas. He made sexual
remarks to her as she walked. She walked
away and told authorities, according to
police.
The man is described as Filipino, in
his 30s, clean shaven and with dark,
spiky hair, according to police.
San Mateo police conducted saturation patrols of the
schools for the rest of the day and looked for the suspect at
the scene of the crime yesterday but have unable to locate
him, according to police.

(650) 522-7650 or leave an anonymous voice mail at (650)

Local brief
Suspect
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A Redwood City taekwondo instruc-
tor accused of groping a 9-year-old stu-
dent during a lesson and possessing
lewd images of minors found after the
childs father called police pleaded no
contest yesterday to child molestation
and child pornography possession.
Ralph Eugene Todd III, 32, will be
sentenced to three years and eight
months in prison when formally sen-
tenced Dec. 13, said District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe.
He will also be required to register as
a sex offender.
The sentence offered by the court is
fair and just especially because he will
have to register,
Wagstaffe said.
In the meantime,
he remains free from
custody on his own
recognizance on the
condition that he
not commit any new
crimes. If he does,
the plea bargain is
negated and Todd
will face the maximum sentence
allowed for the crimes.
Prosecutors say, on Dec. 17, the cry-
ing boy told his father, who had come
to pick him up at Kims TaeKwonDo
Academy in Woodside Plaza, that Todd
said he was not doing his moves prop-
erly and squeezed his genitals while
correcting his form. Later inside an
ofce, he allegedly pulled down the
boys pants and fondled him again. The
father contacted police who arrested
Todd Dec. 19 and seized his computer.
Police reported nding child pornogra-
phy on the computer.
Todd changed his plea Thursday after
a judge rst denied his defense attor-
neys request to dismiss the entire case.
Before the negotiated settlement, he
had been scheduled for jury trial Nov.
12 and was free on $200,000 bail.
Defense attorney Ryan McHugh did
not return a call for comment.

SACRAMENTO The board that
oversees Californias high-speed rail
project endorsed a 114-mile route for
the second segment of the bullet train
from Fresno to Bakerseld during its
meeting Thursday.
The California High-Speed Rail
Authority board gave approval to pro-
ceed with the route, allowing the
agency to request environmental and
rail approval from federal ofcials.
The path now recommended by staff
marks a turnaround from its previous
choice for the segment near the
Central Valley town of Hanford, home
to some of the ercest opposition to
the $68 billion project. The board pre-
viously endorsed a route that would
travel west of the town, but now is rec-
ommending that the bullet train go
east of it.
Doug Verboon, chairman of the
Kings County Board of Supervisors,
which is suing the High-Speed Rail
Authority over its plans, asked the
board not to make a mistake by
endorsing the proposal without sit-
ting down to talk with county resi-
dents. He questioned why the rail line
would not use existing trafc corridors
such as state Highway 99 or Interstate
5, which would affect fewer landown-
ers.

Suspects competency
stalls arson trial again
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A66-year-old house cleaner who allegedly torched an SUV
in the parking lot of the Daly City Department of Motor
Vehicles because he was angry about not reclaiming his
towed vehicle may once again be unt for trial, according to
his defense attorney.
Hugo Carranza already spent several
months at Napa State Hospital after doc-
tors previously found him incompetent
but he returned to San Mateo County in
August after staff there felt he was nally
able to aid in his own defense.
Carranza was scheduled to stand trial
Nov. 12 for the April 2012 incident but
yesterday defense attorney Tanya
OMalley raised the possibility of him
slipping back into incompetence. The new doctor reports
are due back Dec. 19.
Interestingly, OMalley had planned to contest Carranzas
return but changed her mind and let the case go forward on
the charges of arson and vandalism.
Carranza, whose vehicle had been towed by San Francisco
police in October 2011, due to an expired registration,
reportedly paid nes at the DMV ofce but could not get his
car released. On April 23, 2012, he allegedly lled a bottle
with oil or gas, randomly selected what he thought was an
employees vehicle and poured the liquid over two tires
before lighting them on re. The 2008 Cadillac Escalade
was scorched and the ames also damaged a Honda in an
adjacent space.
A witness reported seeing Carranza walk away from the
scene and the arson was reportedly caught on tape. At the
scene, Carranza walked up to a police lieutenant and said
Im the one who did it, according to prosecutors.
Carranza remains in custody on $100,000 bail.
Judge to decide treatment of mentally ill inmates
SACRAMENTO Attorneys for the state and those rep-
resenting prison inmates presented starkly different views
Thursday of prison guards use of pepper spray against the
mentally ill as they completed closing arguments in a feder-
al use-of-force trial.
At issue is whether the heavy use of pepper spray by state
prison guards against some mentally ill inmates violates
prisoners civil rights. The states own expert witness testi-
ed that guards use pepper spray far too often and in quanti-
ties that are too great. He also said previous recommenda-
tions for changes were rejected or ignored.
Treat them as people. Treat them as mentally ill people
who need help, said Jeffrey L. Bornstein, one of the attor-
neys representing inmates welfare.
He said prison guards were not properly trained to remove
mentally ill inmates who refuse to leave their cells, leaving
them to resort to pepper spray and batons.
They torture mentally ill people by the way they do
those cell extractions, he argued. Its inhumane the way
they treat people who are mentally ill.

Around the state
By Julie Pace
WASHINGTON Seeking to calm a
growing furor, President Barack Obama
said Thursday hes sorry Americans are
losing health insurance plans he
repeatedly said they could keep under
his signature health care law. But the
president stopped short of apologizing
for making those promises in the rst
place.
I am sorry that they are nding
themselves in this situation based on
assurances they got from me, he said
in an interview with NBC News.
Signaling possible tweaks to the law,
Obama said his administration was
working to close some of the holes
and gaps that were causing millions of
Americans to get cancellation letters.
Ofcials said he was referring to xes
the administration can make on its
own, not legislative options some con-
gressional lawmakers have proposed.
Weve got to work hard to make sure
that they know we hear them, and we are
going to do everything we can to deal
with folks who nd themselves in a
tough position as a consequence of
this, Obama said.
The presidents apology comes as the
White House tries to combat a cascade
of troubles surrounding the rollout of
the health care law often referred to as
Obamacare. The healthcare.gov web-
site that was supposed to be an easy
portal for Americans to purchase insur-
ance has been riddled by technical
issues. And with at least 3.5 million
Americans receiving cancellation
notices from their insurance compa-
nies, theres new scrutiny aimed at the
way the president tried to sell the law to
the public in the rst place.
In Thursdays interview, Obama took
broader responsibility for the health
care woes than in his previous com-
ments about the rollout, declaring that
if the law isnt working its my job to
get it xed.
When youve got a health care roll-
out that is as important to the country
and to me as this is and it doesnt work
like a charm, thats my fault, he said.
Some Republicans, who remain erce
opponents of the law three years after it
won congressional approval, appeared
unmoved by Obamas mea culpa.
If the president is truly sorry for
breaking his promises to the American
people, hell do more than just issue a
half-hearted apology on TV, Senate
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-
Ky., said in a statement.
In recent days, focus has intensied
on the presidents promise that
Americans who liked their insurance
coverage would be able to keep it. He
repeated the line often, both as the bill
was being debated in Congress and after
it was signed into law.
Obama: Im sorry Americans
are losing their insurance plans
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
WASHINGTON Insurance cancel-
lations are fueling a political backlash
against President Barack Obama and
Democrats supporting his health care
overhaul.
The president apologized Thursday
for the turmoil some consumers are
going through, but there may yet be
a silver lining as far as the law
itself.
Its Economics 101, a little-noticed
consequence of a controversial policy
decision. And there are winners and
losers.
Millions of people who currently
buy their own health insurance cover-
age are losing it next year because
their plans dont meet requirements of
the health care law. But experts say the
resulting shift of those people into the
new health insurance markets under
Obamas law would bring in customers
already known to insurers, reducing
the overall financial risks for each
states insurance pool.
Thats painful for those who end up
paying higher premiums for upgraded
policies. But it could save money for
the taxpayers who are subsidizing the
new coverage.
Already-insured people who do roll
over will improve the risk pool, not
hurt it, said David Axene, a
California-based actuarial consultant
for health plans, hospitals, govern-
ment programs and employers.
Compared to the uninsured, people
with coverage are less likely to have a
pent-up need for medical services, he
explained. They may have already had
that knee replacement instead of hob-
bling around on a cane. Theyre also
more likely to have seen a doctor regu-
larly.
Canceled policies could be a plus for new markets

Br uce Coddi ng
By Donna Cassata
WASHINGTON Reecting Americans
increasing acceptance of gays, the Senate on
Thursday approved legislation that would
bar workplace discrimination based on sex-
ual orientation and gender identity.
Gay rights advocates hailed the biparti-
san, 64-32 vote as a historic step although
it could prove short-lived. Afoe of the bill,
Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has sig-
naled that the Republican-led House is
unlikely to even vote. Senate proponents
were looking for a way around that obsta-
cle.
Seventeen years after a similar anti-dis-
crimination measure failed by one vote, 54
members of the Senate Democratic majority
and 10 Republicans voted for the
Employment Non-Discrimination Act. It is
the first major gay rights bill since
Congress repealed the ban on gays serving
openly in the military three years ago.
All Americans deserve a fair opportunity
to pursue the American dream, said Sen.
Susan Collins, R-Maine, a chief sponsor of
the bill.
Proponents cast the effort as Congress
following the lead of business and localities
as some 90 percent of Fortune 500 compa-
nies and 22 states have outlawed employ-
ment discrimination against gay, bisexual
and transgender Americans.
Supporters described it as the nal step in
a long congressional ght against discrimi-
nation, coming nearly 50 years after enact-
ment of the Civil Rights Act and 23 years
after the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Now weve nished the trilogy, said
Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, a chief sponsor of
the disabilities law, at a Capitol Hill news
conference.
Two Republican senators who voted
against anti-discrimination legislation in
1996, Arizonas John McCain, the presiden-
tial nominee in 2008, and Orrin Hatch of
Utah, backed the measure this time. Alaska
Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski voted in
favor; her father, Frank, opposed a similar
bill nearly two decades ago, underscoring
the generational shift.
Let the bells of freedom ring, said Sen.
Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., who took the lead on
the legislation from the late Sen. Ted
Kennedy, D-Mass.
Senate passage came in a momentous year
for gay rights advocates. The Supreme Court
in June granted federal benets to legally
married same-sex couples, though it avoided
a sweeping ruling that would have paved the
way for same-sex unions nationwide. Illinois
is on the verge of becoming the 15th state to
legalize gay marriage along with the District
of Columbia.
APew Research survey in June found that
more Americans said homosexuality should
be accepted rather than discouraged by socie-
ty by a margin of 60 percent to 31 percent.
Opinions were more evenly divided 10 years
ago.
In the House, Boehner has maintained his
longstanding opposition despite pleas from
national Republicans for the GOP to broaden
its appeal to a fast-changing demographic.
Boehner argues that the bill is unnecessary
and would touch off costly, meritless lawsuits
for businesses.
President Barack Obama and Democrats
used the progressive legislation piling up in
the House as a cudgel on the GOP, with the
gay rights bill likely to join the stalled meas-
ure to overhaul the immigration system.
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said if the
House fails to act, theyll be sending their
party straight to oblivion.
Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois reminded
Boehner of the history of his party in the
1880s over the issue of slavery and Abraham
Lincolns life work.
Keep that proud Republican tradition
alive, Durbin said.
Obama, in a statement, said one party in
one house of Congress should not stand in
the way of millions of Americans who want
to go to work each day and simply be judged
by the job they do.
Gay rights advocates reminded Obama that
he could act unilaterally and issue an execu-
tive order barring anti-gay workplace dis-
crimination by federal contractors. Chad
Grifn, the president of the Human Rights
Campaign, said Obama is empowered to act
and called on him to sign the executive order.
One possible option exists for propo-
nents, adding the gay rights bill to the annu-
al defense policy measure that the Senate will
consider later this month and force the House
to reject the popular legislation.
Through three days of Senate debate, oppo-
nents of the legislation remained mute, with
no lawmaker speaking out. That changed on
Thursday, as Republican Sen. Dan Coats of
Indiana said the legislation would force
employers to violate their religious beliefs.
Theres two types of discrimination here
were dealing with, and one of those goes to
the very fundamental right granted to every
American through our Constitution, a cher-
ished value of freedom of expression and reli-
gion, Coats said.
Current federal law prohibits discrimina-
tion on the basis of sex, race and national
origin. But it doesnt stop an employer from
ring or refusing to hire workers because they
are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender.

ATLANTA Georgia has been a solidly
Republican state for much of the past
decade and there has been little good news
for Democrats until now, with Jason Carter
launching a bid for governor and joining
Michelle Nunn on the ballot in 2014.
Democrats are expected to invest heavily
in the state next year, which will come two
short years before the 2016 presidential
race and feature the grandson of former
President Jimmy Carter and the daughter of
former U.S. Sen. Sam
Nunn. The money will
be used to build up the
statewide organization
registering voters,
setting up a broad donor
network and recruiting
grassroots supporters
in the hopes of eventual-
ly turning Georgia into
a true battleground state.
Senator Carters entrance into the gov-
ernors race, along with Michelle Nunns
candidacy, has created an unbelievable
amount of excitement and optimism
among Georgia Democrats, said Tharon
Johnson, an Atlanta-based Democratic
strategist who led President Barack
Obamas re-election effort in the South.
Jason Carter, a 38-year-old attorney and
state lawmaker from Atlanta, said Thursday
he plans to run for governor. The decision
shakes up the 2014 race as Republican
Gov. Nathan Deal seeks re-election. Deal
already faces two primary opponents and
will now have to deal with the prospect of
a Carter campaign that is likely to be well-
funded and focused on the governor long
before the general election. Carter is not
expected to face serious primary opposi-
t i on.
When asked about Carters announce-
ment, Deal spokesman Brian Robinson
said the governor was focused on keeping
Georgia the No. 1 place to do business and
creating jobs and developing a skilled
workforce.
There is no doubt Georgia Democrats
still face a tough political climate, and it
remains to be seen how much outside
money will flow into the state and how
well Nunn and Carter will appeal to inde-
pendent voters. Republicans currently
hold every statewide office and a large
majority in the General Assembly. Both
U.S. senators are Republican, as well as
most of the congressional delegation. The
state has voted for every Republican presi-
dential nominee since 2000, with Obama
receiving 45.5 percent of the vote last
year.

MANILA, Philippines One of the most
powerful typhoons ever recorded slammed
into the Philippines Friday, cutting commu-
nications and blocking roads in the center
of the country amid worries of serious dam-
age and casualties.
Telephone lines appeared down as it was
difcult to get through to the landfall site
650 kilometers (405 miles) southeast of
Manila where Typhoon Haiyan slammed
into a rural area of the country.
Weather ofcials said that Haiyan had sus-
tained winds at 235 kilometers (147 miles)
per hour, with gusts of 275 kph (170 mph)
when it made landfall at Eastern Samar
provinces Guiuan township.
The local weather bureau makes estimates
based on longer periods of time than others,
such as the U.S. Navys Joint Typhoon
Warning Center, which said shortly before
the typhoon made landfall that its maximum
sustained winds were 314 kilometers per
hour (195 mph), with gusts up to 379 kilo-
meters per hour (235 mph).
195-mile-per-hour winds, there arent
too many buildings constructed that can
withstand that kind of wind, said Jeff
Masters, a former hurricane meteorologist
who is meteorology director at the private
rm Weather Underground.
Masters said the storm had been poised to
be the strongest tropical cyclone ever
recorded at landfall. He warned of cata-
strophic damage.
Haiyans wind strength at landfall had
been expected to beat out Hurricane
Camille, which was 305 kph (190 mph) at
landfall in the United States in 1969,
Masters said.
Already authorities reported having trou-
ble reaching colleagues in the landfall area,
with forecaster Mario Palafox of the nation-
al weather bureau saying contact had been
lost with staff in the landfall area.
More than 125,000 people had been evac-
uated from towns and villages in the
typhoons path, the National Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Council said.
Among them were thousands of residents of
Bohol who had been camped in tents and
other makeshift shelters after a magnitude
7.2 earthquake devastated many towns on
the island province.
Masters said the Philippines might get a
small break because the storm is so fast
moving that ooding from heavy rains
usually the cause of most deaths from
typhoons in the Philippines may not be
as bad.
After hitting Guiuan on the southern tip of
Samar island, the typhoon pummeled near-
by Leyte island.
I think this is the strongest so far since
the 1960s, Southern Leyte Gov. Roger
Mercado said on ABS-CBN television.
This is really a wallop. All roads are
impassable due to fallen trees.
Areporter for the network in the Tacloban
city was drenched in the pounding rain and
said he was wearing a helmet as protection
against ying debris. Visibility was so poor
that only his silhouette could be seen
through the thick curtain of water.

Kerry heading to Geneva
in sign of Iran progress
GENEVA Irans chief nuclear negotiator
signaled progress at talks with six world pow-
ers Thursday on a deal to
cap some of his countrys
atomic programs in
exchange for limited relief
from sanctions stii ng
Irans economy, saying
the six had accepted
Tehrans proposals on
how to proceed.
U.S. ofcials said
Secretary of State John
Kerry will y to Geneva on Friday to partici-
pate in the negotiations a last-minute deci-
sion that suggests a deal could be imminent.
Asenior State Department ofcial traveling
with Kerry in Amman, Jordan, said the secre-
tary would come to Geneva to help narrow
differences in negotiations. The ofcial
spoke on condition of anonymity because he
was not authorized to release information
about the Geneva visit.
ECB rate cut helps,
wont transform economy
FRANKFURT, Germany The European
Central Bank sent a message Thursday with a
surprise cut in its benchmark interest rate: Its
prepared to do more to fortify the euro
alliances economy.
The question is: Will anything the ECB
does be enough?
Thursdays quarter-point cut, to a record low
of 0.25 percent, will go only so far.
Economists say Europes fundamental prob-
lems shaky banks, slow growth and heavi-
ly indebted governments need more sup-
port. And not just from the central bank.
While the ECBs largely unexpected deci-
sion to cut interest rates was welcome, the
central bank cannot address the deep-seated
problems still facing the currency union,
said Jonathan Loynes, chief European econo-
mist at Capital Economics.

OPINION 9
Failure of Measure P
Editor,
I read the reporting by Angela
Swartz about the defeat of Measure P
and the reaction by the school district
superintendent, Cynthia Simms in the
Nov. 7 edition of the Daily Journal
District looks to other options after
Measure P fails. The article points
out that Superintendent Cynthia
Simms was obviously disappointed in
the outcome of the vote and was look-
ing to other options within the dis-
trict to work within the current budg-
et. They include increasing class
sizes in grades 4-8 and shifting stu-
dents to other schools with available
classrooms to deal with the increas-
ing student population. What we did-
nt hear Superintendent Simms sug-
gest was the need to decrease the
amount of San Mateo County school
districts, currently 21 districts with
21 superintendents and 21 administra-
tive staffs. Why is that not an
option? Why is it that when a school
district has nancial problems, they
immediately look to the classrooms
and teachers as places to make cuts or
increase the workload rather than
coming up with a plan to reduce
administrative costs?
Voters rejected Measure P because
they see the misuse of their tax dol-
lars on a bloated administrative sys-
tem within our school districts. The
21 school districts in San Mateo
County need to look at the communi-
ty college district that has jurisdic-
tion throughout San Mateo County
and does an excellent job at directing
their resources into the college class-
rooms rather than wasting it on a
duplication of unnecessary school
districts.
San Mateo County needs one ele-
mentary school district with one
superintendent, one middle school
district with one superintendent and
one high school district with one
superintendent. With all the money
saved by eliminating the other 18
school districts, we can look at
increasing the number of teachers,
decreasing the class sizes at all levels
and simply becoming efcient. Why
is that not an option?

Letter to the editor
By Art Kiesel
T
he recent U.S government
partial shutdown became an
entertaining read in terms of
validating the dysfunctional U.S.
government rivaled only by the
California Legislature. The 16-day
partial shutdown had to do with the
debt ceiling coupled with differences
in the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). The
last shutdown occurred in late 1995
and lasted 21 days. However, the par-
tial shutdown did not affect the mail,
the military or Social Security pay-
ments. It continues to amaze me that
when the U.S. government nds itself
in a nancial bind, it just raises its
debt limit while we at the local level
must live within our means.
As it might seem strange to have
budget issues at this time of year,
many municipalities and government
entities have a scal year from July 1
to June 30; the U.S. government has a
scal year from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30.
Since the U.S. government was in a
cash-strapped position to pay for
existing programs, failure to increase
the debt limit would have meant that
our government would be in a posi-
tion to not pay all of its bills. A
spending bill was passed by both
houses of Congress, which allows
temporary government spending
through Jan. 15, 2014, and raises the
debt ceiling through Feb. 7, 2014,
thus avoiding defaults on U.S. debt
payments. The international nancial
system relies on the American econo-
my and its U.S. Treasury bills and a
crack in the foundation of that stabili-
ty would mean that the international
nancial system could be looking
into the face of a contraction and pos-
sibly a severe
recession.
While some are
breathing a bit eas-
ier, the problem
has only been
kicked a little bit
further down the
road. Congress has
provided itself a bit
of time relief; however, the bill does
not address many of the contentious
issues that created the differences
resulting in the shutdown. Current
spending levels are only covered
through Jan. 15, 2014, which is a
short 90 days from now. In govern-
mental circles, 90 days is but a blink
of an eye. Also, expectations are high
that the same issues will be discussed,
debated and continued posturing will
be in play. Some fear that this experi-
ence will become a permanent feature
of future budgetary processes.
The government shutdown has
come at a price as estimates from $25
billion to $55 billion have been
taken out of the economy that is still
struggling to resurrect itself from the
current recession. Holders of debt
instruments seem to get very nervous
when the name of the payer is coupled
with the term default and shaken con-
dence is often difcult and time-con-
suming to turn around.
As government employees returned
to work, they were faced with catch-
ing-up for the missed work since the
private sector of the economy need-
ing governmental services did not
shut down. Government spending has
been curtailed and many contractors
must wait for the dust to settle and lit-
tle is expected to be resolved in the
next 90 days.
The IRS has announced that it will
be delaying the date it will begin
accepting tax returns from the antici-
pated Jan. 21 and should begin some-
where between Jan. 28 and Feb. 4
which means the refunds will be
delayed. However, April 15 remains
the dreaded deadline date.
We can feel somewhat dismayed that
while government workers were fur-
loughed and work continues to back-
log, both houses of Congress contin-
ue to be paid amazing!
Leaders of both houses of Congress
will be involved in ongoing meetings
with the hopes of compromise to deal
with the budget for the rest of this s-
cal year. While each side of the aisle
is pointing their nger at the other,
this shutdown does little to remove
the built-up tarnish to the U.S.
Congress. I would be pleasantly sur-
prised to see agreement within the 90
days but have little expectation that
any movement will happen before the
last minute again.
Wouldnt it be a breath of fresh air if
our representatives in the U.S.
Congress and in Sacramento started
focusing on the interests of those
who voted for them rather than focus-
ing along partisan lines? When I see
legislative voting results with one
party voting one way and the other
party voting another for the sake of
party unity, I question why we voted
for them in the rst place, as they do
not seem to represent us the vot-
ers.

City Council. He can be reached at
akiesel@fostercity.org or 573-7359.
Are we truly being represented?
Election wrap-up
W
hatd I miss? The local election takes up a lot
of time for this newspaper, specically the
candidate endorsement interviews, which caus-
es the column I usually write in this space to take a hiatus.
So, since about mid-August, Ive been keeping my
thoughts to myself except for, of course, about 20 rec-
ommendations for voters in local elections that we rolled
out two a week since then.
We take elections very seriously at the Daily Journal.
We ask candidates to come into our ofce for an in-person
interview and ask for answers to several questions we
think are important to their
constituency. We then make
recommendations to voters on
who we think will be the best
people for the positions for
which they are running. At
times, I am surprised at the lack
of preparation some candidates
exhibit as well as how well-
researched and knowledgeable
others are. So at the end of the
day, we endorse who we think
are the best candidates. For
measures, we take a position
based on what we believe is
best for the community. Some
choices are easy, some are excruciating. But the question I
always try to answer is, What is best for the communi-
ty?
Some people seem to think that our endorsements are
predictions, nothing could be further from the truth. If we
were to write our predictions, they would look nothing
like our endorsement list. The fact of the matter is that we
do not jump on the swinging pendulum. We leave that to
others.
***
There werent that many surprises in this election but
there were some notable occurrences.
First, the defeat of Measure P, the San Mateo-Foster
City Elementary School Districts request for a $130 mil-
lion bond measure to fund the reconstruction of Bowditch
Middle School in Foster City and the remodeling of
Knolls Elementary School in San Mateo, among other
items.
Whenever the vote to place a measure on the ballot does
not have unanimous support, there is trouble. The board
should be in lockstep as it asks the community to support
a measure. Also, this bond was intended to cure Foster
Citys overcrowding issue with a few sweeteners for San
Mateo. Previous disputes between the community, particu-
larly over education issues, have been quiet lately. But
that doesnt mean the simmer can rise to a boil fast. The
board and the superintendent should have made sure the
burner was off. They didnt. And now they have to worry
about the pot boiling over into some other bigger issue
that wont help anyone get anything productive done.
Turning up the heat with threats of class size increases and
splitting kindergarten classes into morning and afternoon
classes certainly wont help either.
***
In Burlingame, there is another tight race for the third
slot on the council. Certainly not a surprise either. When
voted off the council in 2007, Russ Cohen lost by just 82
votes to Jerry Deal. Now, it looks like Cohen might be 10
votes out of the running behind Ricardo Ortiz though
there will be another tally out 4:30 p.m. today that might
clear things up a bit. Incumbents Ann Keighran and
Michael Brownrigg won soundly. Ortiz ran a solid and
respectable, albeit quiet, campaign. If the tally holds,
Ortiz will be a positive addition to the council.
***
In San Carlos, Councilman Matt Grocott said he was
running on a trio of issues pension reform, open labor
negotiations and local control and that if he won, he
would consider that to be a mandate. But considering he
came in third out of three winners, does that still count?
Maybe.
One thing is clear, if you say you arent going to run for
ofce to gain an appointment, stick to that promise
unless you do something super awesome. Appointed
incumbent Karen Clapper, who had a solid grip on the
issues, but decided to run for a permanent seat after saying
she wouldnt, came in a distant fourth.
***
I was also a little surprised that Joshua Hugg nished so
far behind Joe Goethals in the race for San Mateo City
Council. Incumbents David Lim and Robert Ross were
shoo-ins and the third slot, opened by Councilman Brandt
Grottes decision not to run for re-election, was up for
grabs. Goethals ran a solid campaign on the traditional
stand-bys: safe neighborhoods and parks and economic
development. He will be a solid councilman for years to
come. Huggs a good guy with a rm grip on the citys
business but maybe a little too quiet. Lets hope he stays
involved.

Big movers

NEW YORK Twitter popped, but
the rest of the market dropped.
Twitter wowed investors with a 73
percent surge on its rst day of trading
Thursday. The broader market, however,
had its worst day since August as traders
worried that the Federal Reserve could
cut back on its economic stimulus.
The cause of that worry was a surpris-
ingly strong report on U.S. economic
growth in the third quarter. That led
investors to believe the Fed could start
pulling back as soon as next month,
sooner than many anticipated.
After 33 record-high closes this year,
an increasing number of investors
believe the stock market has become
frothy and is ready for a pullback. The
rst-day surge in Twitter, a company
that has never made a prot, was the lat-
est example.
The market had rallied a heck of a lot
and to justify further gains, we really
need to see the economy improving or
corporate earnings picking up, said
Alec Young, global equity strategist
with S&P Capital IQ.
The Standard & Poors 500 index fell
23.34 points, 1.3 percent, to
1,747.15. Even after Thursdays drop,
the index is still up 22.5 percent this
year. The last time the benchmark index
had a bigger gain for a whole year was
in 2009.
The Dow Jones industrial average
retreated from the record high it set the
day before, giving up 152.90 points, or
1 percent, to close at 15,593.98.
The Nasdaq composite lost 74.61
points, or 1.9 percent, to 3,857.33.
Twitter soared $18.90 to $44.90.
Twitter priced its initial public offering
Wednesday night at $26 per share.
What got traders concerned about a
pullback by the Fed was a report from
the government early in the day that the
U.S. economy expanded at an annual
rate of 2.8 percent in the third quarter,
up from 2.5 percent in the previous
quarter and more than economists antic-
ipated.
The robust growth certainly raises
the possibility of the Fed pulling back
in December, said Peter Cardillo, chief
market economist at Rockwell Global
Capital.

LOS ANGELES Encouraged by
a housing rebound lapping its sec-
ond year, many U.S. homebuilders
are loading up on land and entering
new markets as they gear up for
next years spring home-selling
season and beyond.
The land-buying push comes
after several years during which
builders hoarded cash and held off
from making large land purchases
or preparing raw land for new con-
struction as they rode out the hous-
ing downturn.
On Thursday, luxury homebuilder
Toll Brothers Inc. said it agreed to
buy the homebulding business of
privately held Shapell Industries
Inc. for about $1.6 billion. The
deal will give Horsham, Pa.-based
Toll a trove of land parcels in
wealthy, high-growth markets in
California such as metro Los
Angeles, Orange County, Carlsbad
and the San Francisco Bay area.
Earlier this week, builder Tri
Pointe Homes Inc. said that it
would combine with Weyerhaeuser
Co.s homebuilding business in a
deal valued at about $2.7 billion.
In June, builder Ryland Group
Inc. purchased the Dallas/Fort
Worth operations of LionsGate
Homes, expanding its presence in
the region.

Third fire in Tesla
Model S reported
DETROIT A Tesla Model S
electric car caught re this week
after hitting road dI thoughebris
on a Tennessee freeway, the third
re in a Model S in the past ve
weeks.
The blaze on Wednesday after-
noon near Smyrna, Tenn. ,
engulfed the front of the car. A
spokeswoman for the Tennessee
Highway Patrol says the Model S
ran over a tow hitch, which hit the
undercarriage of the car, causing an
electrical re.
Its the second Model S blaze
involving road debris. In early
October, a driver near Seattle hit
debris that pierced a shield and the
battery pack, causing a re. In the
other fire, a driver in Mexico
crashed into a concrete wall and a
tree at a high speed.
U.S. shows solid Q3 growth,
but spending weakens
WASHINGTON The U.S. econ-
omy showed surprising growth
from July through September just
before the governments partial
shutdown. But much of the gain
came from a buildup in company
stockpiles. Consumers and busi-
nesses slowed their spending a
cautionary sign for the current
quarter and early 2014.
Americans did purchase more
autos and other long-lasting
goods. Yet most analysts say the
economy isnt showing enough
underlying strength to cause the
Federal Reserve to scale back its
stimulus any time soon.
Overall, growth accelerated to a
2.8 percent annual rate in the
third quarter, the Commerce
Department said Thursday. Thats
up from a 2.5 percent rate in the
April-June quarter.
Gap offers
upbeat 3Q profit outlook
NEW YORK Gap Inc. offered
an upbeat prot outlook for its
third quarter as the clothing chain
announced a solid October increase
for a key sales yardstick that sur-
passed analysts expectations.
Shares of the clothing seller
surged in after-hours trading
Thursday after the results were
reported.
The San Francisco-based chain,
which owns the Gap, Banana
Republic, Old Navy, Piperlime,
Athleta and Intermix brands, saw a
4 percent increase in revenue at
stores open a year. The results beat
expectations for a 0.1 percent
gain, according to Thomson
Reuters.

For the last four seasons, the
Peninsula Athletic League Bay
Division has belonged com-
pletely or partially to the Terra
Nova Tigers.
And so, when the 2013 began,
the boys from Pacica adopted the
mantra Drive for Five to moti-
vate their quest for yet another
division title. Through four games
of the regular season, the Tigers
look well on their way to accom-
plishing that goal.
But that drive needs to make one
more important stop. And that
opponent, the Sacred Heart Prep
Gators, would love nothing more
Menl o School ( 2- 1, 6- 2) at
Menlo-Athert on ( 2- 2, 5- 3) ,
7 p. m. Friday
The Knights knocked off South
City 48-22 last week. The Bears
were blitzed 57-27 by Terra Nova.
This is the rst meeting since
2007, when Menlo-Atherton
handed Menlo a 34-21 loss.
Menlo went over the 300-yard
passing mark for the sixth time in
eight games last week. Knights
QB Jack Heneghan threw seven TD
passes last week, moving his total
for the season to 35. Menlo n-
ished with 512 yards of total
offense 391 passing, 121
rushing. Its the seventh time
in eight games Menlo has eclipsed
the 40-point mark. M-A trailed
just 28-21 at halftime last week,
but managed only one touchdown
in the second half. The Bears
put up more than 400 yards of
offense last week. M-A QB
Brian Keare threw for a season-
high 324 yards. Both Ryan
Roberts and Isiah Nash went over
the 100-yard mark receiving for
the Bears. Roberts caught eight
passes for 119 yards and Nash had
three for 107 including a 81-
yard scoring pass. The 57
points was the rst time this sea-
son M-Ahas allowed an opponent
more than 40 points. The Bears
previous high was 38 points
allowed in a season-opening loss
to Campolindo-Moraga. M-A
has lost two of its last three.
San Mateo (2-1, 4-4) at
Aragon ( 2- 2, 5- 3) , 7 p. m.
Friday
The Bearcats were blasted 42-13
by Woodside last week. The
Dons were dominated by Half
Moon Bay, 32-21. Aragon
topped San Mateo 40-21 last sea-
son. The Bearcats still have a
shot at winning the Ocean
Division title, with wins over
Aragon tonight and Burlingame
next Saturday. San Mateo
racked up more than 400 yards of
offense last week against
Woodside, but ve turnovers did in
the Bearcats. San Mateo QB
Jason Gonzalez had his best per-
formance of the season last week,
throwing for 185 yards. Aragon
has two of its last three games.
In their three losses, the Dons are
averaging 19 points per game,
while allowing 30.

Three PAL division titles could be decided today
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Carlmont and Hillsdale girls tennis
teams were clearly the two best teams in the
Peninsula Athletic League this season
proven by the fact the two squads nished as
co-champions of the Bay Division.
So it was only appropriate that represen-
tatives from each team captured an individ-
ual title in the nals of the PAL tournament.
Carlmonts Cori Sidell took home the sin-
gles crown, while the Hillsdale duo of
Mariko Iinuma and Natalie Spievack cap-
tured the doubles title.
It feels good. Its been a real good sea-
son, said Spievak, a senior playing her
rst season with the Knights. It feels good
to be able to do it (win a doubles title) for
Hillsdale.
Sidell was also proud of her accomplish-
ment. As the No. 2 seed, Sidell knocked off
top-seeded Cindy Liu of Hillsdale.
I think its my best win, Sidell said.
Its my senior year and its PALs.
And the season is not over for the PAL
nalists, as all four qualify for the Central
Coast Section tournament, which begins in
a few weeks.
The singles nal served as the rubber
match between the top two players in the
PAL. They split their two meetings during
the regular season although Sidell was in
prime position to sweep all three matches.
In the rst meeting between Sidell and
Liu, Sidell surprised her Hillsdale counter-
part by blitzing her in the rst set, only to
lose the second and third sets.
Every time I play [Liu], its a close
match, Sidell said. I look forward to the
challenge.
Thursday was shaping up the same way.
Sidell dominated the rst set, 6-1, but Liu
PAL crowns tennis champions

STANFORD Stanford crushed
Oregons national championship
hopes again. Florida State might
want to send the Cardinal a thank
you card.
Tyler Gaffney ran for 157 yards
and No. 6 Stanford hammered No.
2 Oregon for three quarters, then
held off a furious rally by the
Ducks to beat them for a second
straight season, 26-20 on
Thursday night.
Kevin Hogan ran for a touch-
down and played a mistake-free
game for Stanford (8-1, 6-1 Pac-
12). The Cardinal put on a clinic
in how to play keep away from a
team that was averaging 55.6
points. Stanford ran 66 times for
274 yards sometimes behind as
many as nine offensive linemen
and held the ball for 42 1/2
minutes.
Heisman Trophy contender
Marcus Mariota was inaccurate
and under pressure much of the
night, but he threw two fourth-
quarter touchdown passes, sand-
wiched around a blocked eld goal
return for a score by Rodney
Hardrick, to pull the Ducks (8-1,
5-1) to 26-20 with 2:12 left.
Oregon couldnt recover a sec-
ond onside kick and Stanford ran
out the clock.
And the biggest winner of all?
No. 3 Florida State. The
Seminoles dont have to worry
about the Ducks nudging them out
of second place in the BCS stand-
ings.
FSU was in danger of slipping
to third in the BCS if Oregon
could have registered a big road
victory against a quality oppo-
nent. Now, the Seminoles face a
manageable remaining schedule
with a good chance to win their
way to the BCS championship
game at the Rose Bowl in January.
Unbeaten Baylor and Ohio State
have to be happy, too, with one
less hurdle to clear.
As for Stanford, it gets first
place in the Pac-12 North and the
inside track to another league title
game. And maybe if things get
really weird, the Cardinal can get
back in the title hunt.
Stanford won a three-point
game in overtime at Oregon last
year to deny the Ducks a chance to
play for the national title, but it
didnt look as if there would be
much drama in the return bout on
the Farm.
Stanford led 17-0 at halftime
and added three more eld goals by
Josh Williamson in the second
half.
Oregon looked like dead Ducks,
down 26-0 early in the fourth with
Stanford hammering away behind
Gaffney, who set a school record
with 45 carries. Even after Oregon
nally broke the seal with a 23-
yard touchdown pass from
Mariota to Daryle Hawkins, the
Cardinal went on another time
consuming drive and attempted a
long eld goal that would have
sealed it.
Instead, the Ducks blocked it,
Hardrick scooped and scored from
65 yards out with 5:08 left and
suddenly it was interesting.
Only 5 seconds later it got even
more interesting when the Ducks
recovered an onside kick. They
quickly moved inside the Stanford
5, but got pushed back to a fourth-
and-goal from the 12. Mariota
threw a touchdown pass to
Pharoah Brown with 2:12 remain-
ing, but the time it took the Ducks
to get in while burning a timeout
was key.
Stanford grabbed the next
onside kick and Oregon was pow-
erless to stop the clock.
Stanford put Oregon in a 14-0
hole, the Ducks largest decit of
the season, with a power football
clinic that started when the
Cardinal came up with a fourth-
and-goal stop from the 4 in the
rst quarter.
Stanford followed with a pun-
ishing 96-yard drive that included
one long strike from Hogan to
Michael Rector. Gaffneys 2-yard
plunge made it 7-0.
With a little help from a pass
interference call that wiped out an
Oregon interception, Stanford
made it 14-0 on Hogans option
keeper from 11 yards out with
11:26 left in the second quarter.
And just when it looked as
though Oregon was about to get
back in it, Stanford linebacker
Shayne Skov ripped the ball away
from DeAnthony Thomas at the
Stanford 2.
Stanford followed that with
another 96-yard drive, this one on
20 plays that ended with
Williamson kicking a 19-yard
eld goal to end the half 17-0.
Stanfords defense dominates No. 2 Oregon
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Head coach Randy Wright and
the rest of the College of San
Mateo womens water polo team
arent about being naive. The
Bulldogs know they have a huge
mountain to climb maybe even
what some might consider an
impossible one if they want to
return to the NorCal champi-
onships.
The Bulldogs have two days to
win three games the latter of
which would be the Coast
Conference tournament champi-
onship starting Friday at
Foothill College. And then,
theyd need a little mathematical
help to secure a spot in the NorCal
Regionals that will be hosted by
the Bulldogs the following week.
The task is a tall order consider-
ing that, after a first-round
matchup against De Anza that
CSM is expected to win, most
likely Cabrillo (who the Bulldogs
lost to twice this year) and confer-
ence juggernaut Foothill, would
await.
This year in conference play
theres denitely been two sides to
the coin, Wright said. Four dom-
inant teams and four that havent
been as dominant. I never want to
say its predetermined, but Im
rarely wrong. So, were just look-
ing for that one game. Right now,
its all about Cabrillo. We had the
luxury of playing them last
Wednesday. It was a decent game.
Its a game that got away from the
Bulldogs early and ultimately cost
them a 10-4 outcome. Erica Staben
and Shelby Chung were charged
with two early exclusions and that
threw off CSMs game plan com-
pletely. If the College of San
Mateo plans on a better showing,
theyll need to keep its best play-
ers in the pool.
Were going to have to do a lit-
tle more of what were good at,
Wright said. And definitely
become smarter and more funda-
mentally sound. We were very suc-
cessful in limiting their half-court
attack. The times that they did
score were basically let downs.
They are a very well balanced
team. There is no real superstar.
Theyre quick. They have the de-
nite speed advantage. Were not
looking to get muscled, but we do
have to make sure were prepared
to deal with their quickness.
Wright said the one to look out
for this weekend is Staben
whos really come into her own
down the stretch for the Bulldogs.
Ive been waiting and waiting
for her to become more demand-
ing, more of leader, catch re, not
just wanting the ball but demand-
ing the ball. And she did just that.
She scored all of our goals on
Saturday (against Santa Rosa) and
she was able to improver her not-
so-exciting shooting percentage.
She throws the ball really hard. It
doesnt have to be a perfect shot.
You throw the ball, you have a
gift. So, time and time again this
season, her worse enemy has been
herself. And Erica did have a great
game against Cabrillo last time.
Cross country
For the cross country team at
CSM, once again its about nid-
ing solid, healthy footing.
A week after grinding it out at
the Coast Conference champi-
onships, the Bulldogs take to the
road to compete in the northern
California championships this
Saturday in Folsom hoping that
theyve healed just a little more.
With a couple of their best run-
ners nursing injuries, the Bulldogs
did have a solid showing at the
Coast Conference champi-
onships. The men, behind Kenyon
Butler, nished fourth. Their two
best runners, Anthony Cortez and
Francisco Vargas, were both deal-
ing with pain that kept them from
running their best, said head coach
Joe Mangan.
On the womens side, a fourth-,
seventh-, eighth- and 10th-place
showing was good for third place
in a very close race that saw CSM
and rst-place Hartnell seperated
by just six points.
It was a really gutty perform-
ance, Mangan said. Theyre
training has been very sporadic.
Theyve been very diligent about
doing their rehab and doing their
cross training. So, that really
helped. But it was a really gutty
performance.
The top 10 teams in Northern
California qualify for the state
meet. If the team does not qualify,
than a runner must nish in the top
half of the results to advance an an
individual for the state meet.

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Woodside just would not be denied.
Despite letting a two-set advantage slip
away, the Wildcats (13-1 Bay Division, 21-
11 overall) went the distance yesterday to
down Menlo-Atherton (11-3, 20-9) in ve
sets 25-18, 25-18, 24-26, 21-25, 15-6.
With the win, Woodside claims the
Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division
crown outright for the rst time since 2008.
Entering into play a game up on Menlo-
Atherton in the standings, a Woodside loss
would have culminated in a co-champi-
onship between the division rivals.
However, Woodside blazed to a Game 5 win,
as senior southpaw Ana Oropeza red a serv-
ice ace to cap the dramatic nish.
I knew I had to get an ace, Oropeza said.
I just had that in my head. I knew we had to
be league champions. I was really nervous
so I just had to make sure it went down for
the team.
Woodside jumped out to a two-set lead by
dominating at the net early on. The sister
act of Heilani and Haili Hoeft was in sync
from the get-go, helping the Wildcats take
an early lead in Game 2. Heilani Hoeft
while receiving tailor-made sets from old
sister Haili throughout the match
stormed for three straight kills to give
Woodside a 6-4 edge, and the lead would
stand up throughout Game 2. She would go
on to total 21 kills and eight blocks in the
match.
We know theyre highly dependant on
outside hitters, and theyre not using the
middle at all, Woodside head coach Kyle
Mashima said. So, we used out tempo right
and closed it off.
And thats just the half of it. Senior hitter
Christine Alftin continues to demonstrate
her MVP-caliber talents, nishing with a
match-high 32 kills, including ve kills in
the decisive Game 5.
She put the team on her back for sure,
Menlo-Atherton senior Pauli King said.
Menlo-Atherton made a game of it
though, scoring wins in Game 3 and 4 with
big-time production from King. The adept
outside hitter seems fully recovered from a
shoulder injury suffered earlier in the sea-
son, as she paced the Bears with 21 kills,
while proving a valuable team leader on the
court.
However, once Alftin got rolling in Game
5, tabbing three consecutive kills to open
the set, the Wildcats ultimately cruised to
victory.
We came ready to play, M-Ajunior Katie
Wilcox said. We were pumped. ... I just
dont know what happened.
Cruising is somewhat uncharacteristic for
the Wildcats. They have gone ve sets in
each of their last ve matches. However, in
the previous four matches, they have won
the fth set by the minimum two points
every time. So, last nights nal set seemed
like a walk in the park, according to
Mashima.
Our defensive game was really good
tonight, Mashima said. It was unbeliev-
able. We denitely have the best block-
ing team in the league. We can stop a lot of
hard hits.
The chemistry of the Hoeft sisters is a rel-
atively new accomplishment as well, as this
season marks the rst time the two have
ever played on the same team. This is their
rst year at Woodside, having transferred
from Franklin High School in Elk Grove.
Haili, now a senior, is a four-year varsity
starter. Heilani, a junior, is in her rst var-
sity season.
Being on varsity together for the rst
time has enabled us to connect more, and
the chemistry has grown, Haili said. We
have come to appreciate each other and
work together on and off the court.
The sisters had about 30 family members
in attendance for last nights senior night at
Woodside.
We call it our tribe, Haili said.
It has been an emotional year for the
Hoeft tribe, however, as the sisters lost
their mother Aloi to cancer on Aug. 16.
(Our family is) the support system to
encourage us not to stop playing, Haili
said. We almost did, but I know my mom
would want us to continue our volleyball
careers.
Other Bay results
Burlingame swept San Mateo 25-11,
25-12, 27-25. Burlingames Bianca Alvarez
and Morgan McKeever had eight kills
apiece, Nicole Walker had three blocks, and
Isabell Walker had 27 assists.
Hillsdale went the distance to down
Aragon 25-27, 18-25, 25-16, 25-21, 15-
12.
Carlmont (11-3, 21-10) moved into a sec-
ond place tie with M-A, downing South City
22-25, 25-23, 25-16, 25-20.
Ocean Division results
Terra Nova secured the Ocean Division co-
championship by defeating Half Moon Bay
in four sets 25-19, 17-25, 25-12, 25-10.
By virtue of the tie-breaker defeating fel-
low co-champ Sequoia 4-3 in overall heads-
up set play Terra Nova is assured the one
CCS berth from the Ocean Division.
Sequoia swept El Camino 25-5, 25-11,
25-17. Sequoias Joy Robinson had 15
kills, ve aces and four blocks. Leanne
Robinson had 10 digs, and Rachel Fink had
ve aces. The Cherokees can still qualify for
the Div. I CCS bracket by virtue of an at-
large bid. Playoff brackets we be announced
Saturday.
Its also possible Sequoia could earn a
home game in the opener, as the top four of
12 Div. I qualifiers have opening-round
byes.
Im not going to know for sure until
Saturday morning, but I am hoping to get an
at-large bid, and I am hoping to get a home
game [in Wednesdays CCS opener].
Westmoor (10-4 20-15) defeated
Jefferson 25-22, 25-8, 25-12. Westmoor
senior Kiselle Mangalindan had four aces,
sophomore Christy Tam had eight kills and

decit in Game 1 behind a seven-point serv-
ice run by Athena Wan. Mills Adrienne Lee
had six match kills, seven aces, and 10

Tiffany Wang had three aces.
Woodside wins Bay Division title
Jefferson (0-3, 0-8) vs. El Cami no
(2-2, 5-3) at South Ci ty, 7 p. m.
Friday
The Indians were annihilated by Mills last
week, 69-0. The Colts crashed in a 28-6
loss at Hillsdale. This is the rst meeting
between these two since a 30-27 Jefferson
win in 2009. Jefferson allowed a season
high in points last week. The Indians
have been shut out three times this season.
Its the sixth time this season Jefferson
has allowed 50-plus points in a game and
the second time its allowed more than 60.
El Camino was held to just 187 yards of
offense last week. The 28 points allowed
was the second-most the Colts have given
up this season. The gave up 34 in a loss to
Aragon in Week 2.
Mi l l s (2-2, 5-3) at Carl mont (1-3,
3-5), 7 p. m. Fri day
The Vikings buried Jefferson 69-0 last
week. The Scots were squashed 28-14 by
Kings Academy. Last year, Mills beat
Carlmont 28-13. Mills set a school
record last week for points scored in one
game. The 69 points was seven points
more than the Vikings have scored in their
last four games combined. The win
snapped a two-game slide for Mills. After
a strong start, going 2-0, Carlmont has lost
ve of its last six games. The Scots are
averaging 16 points during Lake Division
play, while allowing 25.
South Ci ty (0-4, 2-6) at Sequoi a
(0-4, 3-5), 7 p. m. Fri day
The Warriors were whipped 48-22 by
Menlo School last week. The Cherokees
were thumped 33-3 by Sacred Heart Prep.
Last year as Ocean Division rivals, South
City hung a 36-28 loss on Sequoia. The
22 points scored as the most South City has
scored since a 23-22 win in Week 2 against
Capuchino. Since winning their rst two
games, the Warriors have lost six in a row.
If Sequoia wins its nal two games and
gets some help, it still has a shot at making
the CCS playoffs. The Cherokees were
relegated to third-string quarterback Aidan
Pierce, who did a good job of running the
offense. It remains to be seen if either
Cameron Greenough or Faave Brown are
healthy enough to go tonight. In four
Bay Division games, Sequoia has scored a
combined 40 points.
Serra (4-1, 6-2) at Riordan (1-4,
3-5), 1 p. m. Saturday
The Padres were handed their rst WCAL
loss of the season by rival St. Francis, 41-
34. The Crusaders were crushed 47-13 by
Valley Christian. Serra buried Riordan
56-0 last year. Serra dropped out of the
Daily Journals top spot in its poll for the
rst time ever. The 41 points allowed was
the most the Padres have allowed in 45
games since a 45-7 to De La Salle to start
the 2009 season. Riordan has four of its
last ve games. The Crusaders are averag-
ing 13 points a game in WCAL play, while
giving up 43. Riordan is averaging less
than 300 yards of offense per game this sea-
son.
The Rest
Our defensive game was really good tonight.

with a convincing 32-21 win over
Aragon last week. The Mustangs
were mauled 41-0 by Burlingame.
These teams havent played each other
since 2008, when Half Moon Bay beat
Capuchino 41-22. HMB RB John
Bali scored three touchdowns in the
Cougars upset of Aragon. ... The
Cougars turned a pair of Aragon
turnovers into 10 points. HMB
snapped a four-game losing streak last
week. The 32 points scored was the
second-highest output of the season
for the Cougars, who scored 56 in a
win over South City in Week 3.
Capuchino has lost ve games in a row
and suffered its second shutout of the
season. The Mustangs are averag-
ing just 11 points per game during

than to bring Terra Novas ride to a
screeching halt.
In what is the rst of three marquee
matchups this Friday for the PAL, the
Gators will welcome the Tigers who
are both undefeated in Bay play. At 4-
0, Terra Nova would lock up that fth
division title with a win. At 3-0, SHP
needs to beat the Tigers to ensure at
least a share of the crown. If they then
proceed to defeat nemesis Menlo
School in the 14th edition of the
Valparaiso Bowl during Rivalry Week,
the Gators would ofcially unseat Terra
Nova as the newest champions of the
Bay Division.
So yes, obviously, theres a lot at
stake on Friday in a matchup that is
just as intriguing on paper as it will be
seeing it play out on the eld one
that again asks what happens when an
immeasurable force faces off against
an immovable object.
So far in 2013, there havent been
many defenses that can keep up with
Terra Nova they simply have too
many weapons.
Against Menlo-Atherton, the Daily
Journals No. 1 defense to begin the
season, the Tigers put up 303 yards
through the air and another 208 on the
ground. And this was after star running
back John Wallace went down with an
injury during the second half.
But just like theyve done for their
ve-year run through the division, the
Tigers simply plug dynamite players
into those holes. Last Friday, it was
Matt Sese who carried the load. He
rushed the ball seven times for 78
yards and a pair of touchdowns.
Wallace only had 10 carries but those
were good for 126 and three scores.
Through the air, Anthony Gordon
had himself another great game. With
Menlo-Atherton (rightfully) focused
on Jaylend Jones, Domenic Ortisi had
a huge game on the perimeter. He
caught 15 passes for 115 yards and a
touchdown. Gordon completed passes
to seven different receivers. Its that
kind of variety that the SHP defense
will have to deal with.
But the Gators have proven that
theyre up to any task and its for
that reason theyre 8-0 on the year.
In those eight wins, SHPhas allowed
44 total points with only three teams
reaching double digits. Its a defense
that is fast, disciplined and with a nose
for the football as evident by their
14 interceptions and 10 recovered fum-
bles.
The Gators will counter Terra Novas
weapons with Ben Burr-Kirven, a line-
backer/safety who has had his nose in
94 tackles this season for SHP. Hes
not alone, Paul Wescott has been huge
for the Gators along with Nic Callazo.
Last week against a Sequoia offense
that isnt half bad, SHP forced three
turnovers. They held Sequoia to zero
yards through the air. And the
Cherokees 199 yards on the ground
came on 52 rushes for an average of
3.83 per touch. More importantly,
SHP arent prone to allowing the big
play. Sequoias longest run from
scrimmage was 12 yards.
Terra Nova will also have to contend
with SHPs big play ability. Andrew
Segres versatility out of the backeld
will be something to watch. Plus,
Mason Randall has been a revelation
at the quarterback position. The verti-
cal attack isnt something PAL fans
have seen much from SHP in recent
years. Randalls ability to throw accu-
rately down the eld makes SHP dan-
gerous.
OCEAN DIVISION
Itll actually be a dream kind of after-
noon for PAL fans as all three division
titles will be up for grabs.
Over in the Ocean Division,
Burlingame will continue their run at a
perfect 2013 season. They can lock up
the Ocean title with a win Friday night
against Woodside.
But a resurgent Wildcat squad present
the Panthers with their biggest chal-
lenge of the season. If the Wildcats
win, they would lock up at least a share
of the division title and would be in
prime Central Coast Section playoff
position having the head-to-head
tiebreaker against Burlingame.
This is the rst meeting between
these teams in six years. In 2007,
Burlingame pulled out a 16-14 victory.
Fridays matchup could come down to
the performances of special-team aces
Josh Holman (Woodside) and Robby
Baumgarten (Burlingame). Holman
has 688 kickoff and punt return yards,
with four touchdowns. Baumgarten
626 return yards and ve scores.
Since entering Ocean Division play,
the Wildcats are averaging 38.5 points
on offense and 22.7 points on defense.
Their lone loss has been against
Aragon. Last Friday, the Wildcats wal-
loped San Mateo 42-14, rushing for a
season-high 294 yards in the process
averaging 11 yards a carry. David
Teu paved the way, rushing for 193
yards and two scores on 22 carries.
Burlingame is averaging 46 points
on offense this season and allowing a
smidge over six. In a 41-0 win against
Capuchino last week, the Panthers
eclipsed the 200-yard rushing mark for
the seventh time in eight games n-
ishing with 257 yards on 32 carries
last week.
Burlingame head coach John
Phillipopolus told the Daily Journal
last week that Woodside was indeed
their biggest test of the season. Were
going to have to clean up a lot of the
mistakes that we had [against
Capuchino], he said. Woodside is
big, theyre athletic and they can make
you pay.
LAKE DIVISION
Right when Terra Novas game with
Sacred Heart Prep kicks off, Hillsdale
High School will start its quest for a
Lake Division crown. With a win, the
Knights would go 5-0 on the league
docket and lock up the divisions lone
spot in the CCS playoffs.
But in their way is the Kings
Academy, who comes in at 2-1 and
with a legitimate shot to really rain on
Hillsdales parade. If Kings Academy
wins, theyll only have one loss and a
very winnable game against Jefferson-
Daly City left. If they were to win out,
they would be tied with Hillsdale with
the head-to-head tiebreaker in its back
pocket.
This will be the first meeting
between these teams since Kings
Academy blasted Hillsdale 48-7 in
2008.
Kings Academy put together its sec-
ond-best offensive output of the sea-
son against Carlmont last week. It
passed for a season-high 320 yards and
rushed for 170. Running back Alex
Bae had his best performance of the
season last week, rushing for a team-
high 108 yards on 16 carries. In
Kings Academys four wins this sea-
son, its defense is allowing 12.5
points per game.
Despite three first-half turnovers,
Hillsdale weathered the miscues to beat
the El Camino last week.
Hillsdale continues to be one of the
more balanced offensive teams in the
PAL. For the season, it is averaging
186 passing yard and 185 yards rush-
ing. Hillsdale lived up to that balance
last week, passing for 195 and rushing
for 185.
The Hillsdale defense was just as
impressive last week, holding El
Camino to under 200 yards of offense.
Since Lake Division play has start-
ed, Hillsdale is allowing an average of
10 points per game.

Canucks double
up the Sharks 4-2
By Josh Dubow
SAN JOSE Chris Higgins had a goal and an assist and
Roberto Luongo made 22 saves to help the Vancouver
Canucks snap a nine-game losing streak to the San Jose
Sharks with a 4-2 victory on Thursday night.
Brad Richardson, Mike Santorelli and Zack Kassian also
scored for the Canucks, who had lost all ve regular season
meetings between the teams the past two seasons and were
swept by San Jose in the rst round of the playoffs last
spring.
Joe Thornton and Mike Brown scored for the Sharks, who
lost their fourth straight game, but just the second in regu-
lation all season.
Antti Niemi allowed four goals on 12 shots before being
replaced early in the second period as the Canucks con-
trolled the play for much of the rst 40 minutes and weath-
ered a strong push from San Jose in the third.
Vancouver killed an early power play and got a strong
save from Luongo on a tip by Logan Couture in the rst half
of the period to help seal the victory.
Vancouver got the win without any production from their
top line of the Sedin twins and Ryan Kesler.
Henrik Sedin had points in an NHL-best 12 straight
games, while brother Daniel had his seven-game point
streak snapped. Kesler had 10 points in the past nine
games before being held off the score sheet.
The Canucks dominated the second period, outshooting
the Sharks 17-5 and getting the only goal when Kevin
Bieksas point shot hit Kassians skate and went past
Niemi to make it 4-2 with 14:38 left in the second.
That ended Niemis night after he allowed four goals for
the third time in four games.
Alex Stalock came in and stopped all 22 shots he faced
but the Sharks were unable to get anything past Luongo the
rest of the way and lost.

By Craig Massei
SANTA CLARA The San
Francisco 49ers have gone from
one of the NFLs worst rushing
teams in September to the leagues
best in November, and its easy for
offensive coordinator Greg Roman
to identify the players on his unit
who have made it happen.
Everybody.
From the play
up front of a
physical line,
to the lead
blocking of
fullback Bruce
Miller, to the
spirited run-
ning of half-
back Frank
Gore, the
ground game
has carried a San Francisco offense
that ranks No. 1 in the NFL i n
rushing but is last in the league in
passing.
Roman said quarterback Colin
Kaepernick, with his fakes at the
line of scrimmage, and tight ends
and wide receivers, with their
blocking down the eld, also have
played signicant roles in a rush-
ing attack that has averaged 183.8
yards per game during a ve-game
winning streak that has San
Francisco 6-2 at midseason.
Its a lot of different things,
Roman said Thursday. Frank,
specically, is just getting better
and better, and theres cohesion
out there with our offensive line.
Theyre doing a great job. With all
our guys, if youre not carrying the
ball, youre blocking somebody.
The 49ers rushed for a season-
high 221 yards during a 42-10 rout
of the Jacksonville Jaguars on
Oct. 27 that took San Francisco to
its bye week.
The Niners and their resurgent
run game return this week to face a
stiff challenge against the
Carolina Panthers and the NFLs
second-ranked run defense.
The Panthers (5-3) may present
the 49ers with a unique look. Most
San Francisco opponents this sea-
son have been loading the box
with eight and sometimes nine
defenders.
Carolinas defense, ranked third
overall in the NFL, comes at oppo-
nents a different way.
Carolinas an interesting team
because I really believe they think
they can stop the run with a seven-
man front and theyve been doing
that quite well, Roman said.
From a football perspective, you
are living large and playing with
house money if you can do that.
Its going to be a challenge,
because theyre the best team
weve seen that plays the run in
seven-man spacing.
Nobody has stopped the 49ers
on the ground since the rst two
weeks of the season, when San
Francisco failed to surpass 100
yards rushing each time and Gore
was limited to just 60 yards rush-
ing on 30 carries in the two
games.
Gore has since climbed to sev-
enth in the NFL with 618 yards
rushing and is back on track
toward the second-most productive
season of his career.
And the line in front of him,
which also was slow to get in gear
during September, is back to its
trademark bruising style.
With all five starters earning
recognition last season as either a
Pro Bowl starter or alternate, the
49ers were condent it was just a
matter of time before that unit was
playing back to its high stan-
dards.
With the talent we have and as
hard as we work, I think its kind
of expected of us, right tackle
Anthony Davis said. We just kept
after it, doing the same things
weve been doing, sticking to our
techniques and stuff like that. If we
work as hard as we do with the
coaching we have and the talent we
have, thats whats going to hap-
pen.
In the pass-happy NFL, the
49ers have finished with more
rushing yards than passing yards
in three of their past six games.
And theyve done it with oppo-
nents increasingly committing
more defenders to stopping the
run.
The Niners, who nished last
season fourth in the NFL in rush-
ing, just keep on churning out
yardage on the ground anyway.
We denitely have seen a lot
more guys in the box, Miller
said. But thats going to happen
with the way weve run the ball in
the past.
We still have good number
counts to get body on body. Our
guys are just doing a good job of
winning individual battles up
front and making lanes for Frank.
Gore, San Franciscos all-time

regrouped to take the second set, 6-4. Sidell won the rst
four games of the nal set, taking an aggressive approach
to tug Liu all over the court in jumping out to a quick 4-0
lead.
But then the tables turned. Suddenly, it was Liu who was
the aggressor and Sidell looked to tighten up. Liu won four
of the next ve games to close to 5-4.
I think she started to play better and I had to adjust to
that, Sidell said. But I wasnt going to let what happened
the rst time (we played each other) happen again. I de-
nitely thought about that rst match.
Sidell calmed down and, serving for the set, won four
straight points to claim the crown.
The doubles nal was less climactic. Iinuma and Spievak,
the top seed who had cruised through the draw to reach the
nals, punctuated their run with a 6-1, 6-1 victory over No.
2 Kaede Ishikawa and Victoria Sun of Aragon.
The win capped an undefeated regular season for both
Iinuma and Spievak, who played most of the year at No. 3
and No. 2 singles for Hillsdale, respectively.
Doubles is a lot of fun, Spievak said. It takes some of
the stress out of [concentrating on singles].
Despite being the rst tournament the two played togeth-
er as members of the Hillsdale team, both Iinuma and
Spievak have played together on the junior tournament cir-
cuit in the past, so they were aware of each others strengths
and weaknesses.
Natalies a great player, Iinuma said.
Iinuma is still limited by a sprained ankle, but she said
she has grown accustomed to the pain and knows her limits
on the court. After pairing with teammate Kathy Li to punch
Hillsdales ticket to the CCS team tournament, she was
paired with Spievak for the individual tournament. The
results were spectacular the duo did not drop a set over
ve matches.
Kathy is also a good player, but Natalie is more experi-
enced and has played more doubles, Iinuma said.
In the third-place matches, San Mateos Lizzie Siegle
topped Natalie Somers, 6-1, 6-4. On the doubles side,
Menlo-Athertons Sammy Andrew and Lindy LaPlante beat
Burlingames Alex Harrigan and Lisa Patel for third place, 7-
5, 7-5.

Hundreds rally in Minnesota
against Redskins name
MINNEAPOLIS Hundreds of American Indians and
their supporters rallied outside the Metrodome Thursday
night to demand the Washington Redskins change the
teams nickname, calling it racist and disrespectful.
Carrying ags, signs and staffs and led by American
Indian Movement co-founder Clyde Bellecourt, the crowd
marched to the downtown stadium to hear speakers before
the Minnesota Vikings played Washington.
Opponents call the Redskins nickname offensive to
Native Americans. As drums beat, protesters chanted,
Hey hey, ho ho, Little Red Sambos got to go. Some
carried signs with messages including We are not car-
toons! Respect us! and Racism is unsportsmanlike con-
duct.
Mario McBrogan, 24, of Minneapolis, who is
Cherokee, was there to watch the game and to support
changing the Redskins name. He said the name should be
changed out of respect to every Native American.
Other teams have dropped Indian mascots and nick-
names, McBrogan said. So I dont understand why they
(the Redskins) shouldnt have to change their name. Its
obviously offensive to a culture, he said.
Krystal Hedemann, 34, of St. Paul, a member of the
Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, said its time to get rid of
what she called racist names in sports.

With the new name of QX80 for 2014,
Innitis largest sport utility vehicle packs
some of the softest-feeling leather, shiniest
burl wood and a host of other luxury items
into a big, nicely crafted interior.
But this seven- or eight-passenger SUV,
renamed from last years QX56 so it ts with
Innitis new, 2014 nomenclature, retains
its predecessors styling, truck-based plat-
form and even the 5.6-liter V-8 that helped
create the name QX56 in the rst place.
Confusing? Yes. Is it disappointing that
theres no 8-liter engine under the QX80
hood? Not necessarily.
The carryover, naturally aspirated V-8 is
gasoline direct injection and generates a
healthy 400 horsepower and 413 foot-
pounds of torque at 4,000 rpm.
It propelled the 2-ton-plus QX80 test SUV
quickly around other vehicles in trafc and
onto highway merges. It also helps give the
QX80 a towing capacity of 8,500 pounds,
which rivals some full-size pickup trucks.
Better yet, the QX80 feels stout and sturdy
and can be tted with an array of the latest
safety features most of them optional,
such as backup collision intervention that
takes rearview cameras to the next techno-
logical step. Too bad, though, that neither
the QX80 nor its predecessor QX56 has fed-
eral government crash-test results to com-
pare with other full-size SUVs.
Still, the QX80 is a recommended buy of
Consumer Reports, where reliability is list-
ed as above average.
Starting manufacturers suggested retail
price, including destination charge, is
$62,345 for a base, 2014 QX80 with rear-
wheel drive and automatic transmission.
Starting retail price, including destina-
tion charge, for a base, 2014 QX80 with all-
wheel drive is $65,445.
Competitors include other large, luxury
SUVs that have seats for seven or eight,
such as the 2014 Mercedes-Benz GL450
4Matic, which starts at $65,475 with 362-
horsepower, bi-turbo V-8, automatic trans-
mission and four-wheel drive. Note that
while the QX80 has one powerplant, the
Mercedes GLoffers several, including a fuel-
sipping diesel six-cylinder and a high-per-
formance, 550-horsepower V-8.
Another competitor, the 2014 Cadillac
Escalade, has a starting MSRP, including
destination charge, of $68,965 with 403-
horsepower V-8, automatic transmission
and rear-wheel drive. Cadillac also sells an
Escalade Hybrid.
Styling on the 17.4-foot-long QX80 is
polarizing. With a snoutish front end and
rather at rooine, the SUV was named one
of Car and Driver magazines 10 Ugliest
Cars For Sale Today.
Inniti engineers continue to rene the
ride. For 2014, an optional Hydraulic Body
Motion Control system for the suspension
seeks to counteract the weight and mass
swings that a big, heavy vehicle like the
QX80 would have in cornering and sweep-
ing curves. The system provided impressive
improvements vis--vis the normal motions
of a big SUV. It did not eliminate head toss
and a tippy sensation now and then.
While road bumps overall were nicely
managed, there was bounciness in the ride
on some road surfaces and a weighty feel at
the corners where the optional 22-inch
wheels resided.
Views out front were excellent, and a
rearview camera is standard. The optional
backup collision intervention automatical-
ly stops the vehicle if an obstacle back
there is detected.
Other newer safety features are available,
such as blind spot warning that has inter-
vention, which helps guide the QX80 back
into its lane if its drifting into a vehicle at
its side.
The QX80s big size and the lack of any
exterior trim on the doors make it seem
prone to dings and dents from neighboring
car doors in parking lots.
But all riders in the test QX80 were
impressed by the interior craftsmanship of
this tall-riding SUV. The optional semi-ani-
line leather on the seats was soft to the
touch, and softly gathered leather on the
interior doors added unexpected luxury.
The light tan seat color was mimicked on
the front of the dashboard and so was the
seat stitching. But smartly, the top of the
dashboard, where glare from sunlight can be
a problem, was nished in a warm and dark
brown, creating an easy-on-the-eyes atmos-
phere.
The QX80 interior is peacefully quiet,
enough to make the optional Bose Cabin
Surround a wonderful feature.
Shifts were mostly smooth from the
seven-speed automatic transmission,
though engine vibrations in rst gear often
came through the gas pedal to the drivers
foot.
Premium gasoline is recommended but not
required in the QX80, and the tester averaged
just 12.4 miles per gallon in mostly city
driving. The federal governments ratings
are 14/20 mpg for city/highway travel.
Everyone climbs up to get into the QX80,
and side running boards are standard. They
could be a bit wider, however.

Music is the international language, and
it speaks most eloquently in The Pianist
of Willesden Lane, presented by Berkeley
Repertory Theatre.
This 90-minute, one-woman music-drama
features concert pianist Mona Golabek as
her mother, Lisa Jura, a young Austrian
pianist who survived the horrors of World
War II, thanks to her musical talent as well
as her courage and grit.
Jura went on to become a concert pianist
and to give piano lessons to her two daugh-
ters in the United States.
In partnership with Lee Cohen, Golabek
told her mothers remarkable story in a
book, The Children of Willesden Lane.
In turn, it was adapted as a play by Hershey
Felder, who also directs. BRT audiences
will recall Felders recent memorable per-
formance in his own one-man show,
George Gershwin Alone.
The story begins in Vienna in 1938 when
Lisa learned that her piano teacher could no
longer teach the 14-year-old Jewish girl
because the Nazis had forbidden such inter-
actions.
With the Nazis becoming ever more men-
acing against Jews, Lisas father secured
the document necessary to send one of his
three daughters to relative safety in
England in 1940.
Thus Lisa was able to take part in
Kindertransport, an operation that rescued
thousands of children, most of them
Jewish, and sent them from the Continent
to foster families, hostels, group homes or
farms throughout England.
Lisa was sent to an estate outside of
London, but when she was told that the
piano there was only for show, not for
maki ng musi c, she ran away t o
London. There she wound up in a
Willesden Lane hostel that was home
to more than two dozen children.
She was put to work in a factory sewing
military uniforms, but she continued to
play piano, enchanting her friends and the
staff at the hostel. All the while, she had no
idea what had happened to her parents and
sisters back in Vienna.
The tale goes on to relate how she sur-
vived the Blitzkrieg, including a direct hit
on the hostel, managed to find another
piano teacher and eventually had a chance
to audition for a scholarship at Londons
Royal Academy of Music.
She also got a job playing for soldiers on
leave in a swank hotel, where she met her
future husband.
As Golabek relates her mothers story,
she intersperses it with virtuoso playing of
musical greats like Beethoven, Debussy,
Chopin, Bach and others.
The unifying work is Griegs challeng-
ing Piano Concerto in A minor, with the
first movement opening the performance,
the second movement coming in the middle
and the third movement providing the dra-
matic climax.
Her narrative is illustrated by photos and
newsreel clips assembled by Andrew Wilder
and Greg Sowizdrzal and projected onto the
four gilded picture frames suspended over
the set designed by Felder and Trevor Hay
Several excellent articles in the program
provide relevant information about the
events surrounding World War II.
Although Golabek is a musician first and
an actress second, her story is so com-
pelling and moving and her performance so
brilliant that one is quickly captivated. Its
a truly unforgettable theatrical experience.
The Pianist of Willesden Lane was
recently extended through Jan. 5 at
Berkeley Repertory Theatres Thrust Stage,

The U.S.Food and Drug Administration on Thursday proposed
banning articial trans fat in processed food,saying reducing
such fat in the American diet could prevent 7,000 deaths from
heart disease each year.
No more trans fat
FDA banning the artery-clogger
By Mary Clare Jalonick
WASHINGTON Heart-clogging trans fats were once a
staple of the American diet, plentiful in baked goods,
microwave popcorn and fried foods. Now, mindful of the
health risks, the Food and Drug Administration is getting
rid of whats left of them for good.
Condemning articial trans fats as a threat to public
health, the FDAannounced Thursday it will require the food
industry to phase them out.
Manufacturers already have eliminated many trans fats,
responding to criticism from the medical community and to
local laws, Even so, the FDA said getting rid of the rest
the average American still eats around a gram of trans fat a
day could prevent 20,000 heart attacks and 7,000 deaths
each year.
It wont happen right away. The agency will collect com-
ments for two months before determining a phase-out
timetable. Different foods may have different schedules,
depending how easy it is to nd substitutes.
We want to do it in a way that doesnt unduly disrupt mar-
kets, said Michael Taylor, FDAs deputy commissioner for
foods. Still, he says, the food industry has demonstrated
that it is, by and large, feasible to do.
Indeed, so much already has changed that most people
wont notice much difference, if any, in food they get at gro-
ceries or restaurants.
Scientists say there are no health benets to trans fats.
And they can raise levels of bad cholesterol, increasing
the risk of heart disease, the leading cause of death in the
United States. Trans fats are widely considered the worst
kind for your heart, even worse than saturated fats, which
also can contribute to heart disease.
Trans fats are used both in processed food and in restau-
rants, often to improve the texture, shelf life or avor of
foods. Though they have been removed from many items,
the fats are still found in some baked goods such as pie
crusts and biscuits and in ready-to-eat frostings that use the

WASHINGTON Parts of the
nations $500 billion farm bill that
Congress is considering would prohib-
it the government from disclosing
some information about farmers or
their employees, possibly preventing
people from learning about nearby
agricultural and large-scale livestock
operations blamed for polluting water
or soil.
The secrecy effort arose after the
Environmental Protection Agency said
it had mistakenly released names,
email addresses, phone numbers and
other personal information about some
farmers and employees twice this year
under the Freedom of Information Act.
The EPAlater determined it should not
have released the information; in at
least one case, an environmental group
that received the data agreed to return
i t .
The provisions in the farm bill were
intended to protect farmers who fear
they would be targeted by animal advo-
cacy groups.
The House version, now part of
negotiations with the Senate, would
prevent the EPA from disclosing the
addresses, among other identifying
information, of an owner, operator or
employee of an agricultural operation.
Other federal agencies could not release
such information.
Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of
Vermont, the Senate Judiciary
Committee chairman, blocked a Senate
amendment similar to the House pro-
posal.
We must take care not to draw a veil
of secrecy around important informa-
tion about threats to the publics health
and safety or government accountabili-
t y, Leahy said.
Journalists and open government
groups that want Congress to remove
the proposals say federal law already
bars the release of most personal infor-
mation and the provisions are too
broad.
Members of the public have a right
to know about agricultural and live-
stock operations that affect them,
including where such operations are
located, a coalition of 43 groups,
including Society for Professional
Journalists, Sunlight Foundation and
Openthegovernment.org said in a let-
ter Wednesday to House and Senate farm
bill negotiators. This information is
especially critical for people who live
near or share waterways with concen-
trated animal feeding operations.
Rep. Rick Crawford, R-Ark., who
wrote one of the proposals, said many
farmers and ranchers live on their
farms, so releasing corporate addresses
of their companies is the same as
releasing their home addresses.
Crawford said farmers and ranchers
should be able to provide personal
information securely to the Agriculture
Department, but they believe that envi-
ronmental activist groups could obtain
the material if it were shared with the
EPA.
Activist groups should not be able
to leverage their relationship with the
EPAto get this information that could
pose a threat, Crawford said.
Colin Woodall of the National
Cattlemens Beef Association cited
cases of people trashing farmers prop-
erty.
Farm bill could hide
locations from public
Members of the public have a right to know about
agricultural and livestock operations that affect them,
including where such operations are located. ... This
information is especially critical for people who live near or

DRIVING MISS DAISY
DELIGHTS AT THE AFRICAN-
AMERICAN SHAKESPEARE
COMPANY. Stage versions of
Driving Miss Daisy, the Pulitzer
Prize-winning play about the 25-year-
long relationship of an elderly white
Southern Jewish woman and her black
chauffeur, are often overshadowed by
the 1989 Academy Award-winning
film version. But the nuances of the
complex relationship between the
two strong-willed souls is best
enjoyed in the immediacy of a live
production, especially one as wonder-
fully accomplished as that of the
Diablo Actors Ensemble, currently
presented by the African-American
Shakespeare Company. 85 minutes
without intermission. Written by
Alfred Uhry. Directed by Scott Fryer.
Through Nov. 17.
STAGE DIRECTIONS. The Buriel
Clay Theatre, located on the first
floor of the African-American Art &
Culture Complex, 762 Fulton St. (at
Webster Street), San Francisco, holds
approximately 210 seats on three
sides of an open stage. Free parking
available in an off-street lot next to
the theater.
TICKETS. $12.50 to $37.50. 8
p.m. Saturday, 3 p.m. Sunday. For
information call (800) 838-3006 or
visit www.African-

audiences, Driving Miss Daisy can
serve as a wonderful introduction to
live theater for young people.
CAST: Hoke: L. Peter Callender.
Daisy Werthan: Ann Kendrick. Boolie
Werthan: Timothy Beagley.
AN ASIDE: L. Peter Callender, the
Artistic Director of the African-
American Shakespeare Company and
the actor who plays Hoke in
Driving Miss Daisy, said: Driving
Miss Daisy is a gem of a play! It is a
simple, touching heart-warming
story of two unlikely people from two
different worlds, their coming togeth-
er, learning from each other, their
friendship, trust and love. We find
that they have so much in common,
and if they never allowed the friend-
ship to blossom, these commonali-
ties would have never come through.
It has a perfect bend of comedy,
drama, poetry and pain. It takes place
over a period of 25 years during a time
when our country was dealing with
issues of race, violence, anger, dis-
trust and discrimination. Playwright
Alfred Uhry sprinkles these happen-
ings throughout the play without
beating us up or preaching about it.
He allows the characters to deal with
these happenings with grace, dignity
and patience. I expect that Daisy will
live on in our canon of exquisite fam-
ily dramas.
ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT:
American playwright Alfred Uhry
received an Academy Award, a Tony
Award and the Pulitzer Prize for dra-
matic writing. Driving Miss Daisy,
the first in his Atlanta Trilogy of
plays, earned him the Pulitzer Prize
for Drama. Uhry adapted it into the
screenplay for the 1989 film starring
Jessica Tandy and Morgan Freeman,
an adaptation that won Uhry the
Academy Award for Best Adapted
Screenplay. The second play of the
trilogy, The Last Night of Ballyhoo,
set in 1939 during the premiere of the
film Gone with the Wind, received the
Tony Award for Best Play. The third, a
1998 musical called Parade, about the
1913 trial of Jewish factory manager
Leo Frank, earned Uhry a Tony Award
for Best Book of a Musical.

ruin. Theres not a lick of character to
Malekith and his motives: He just wants to
end all life.
To save Life As We Know It, Thor seeks
help from his duplicitous adoptive brother,
Loki (Tom Hiddleston), who has been
imprisoned for killing thousands of humans
at New York. Hiddlestons sneering Loki
remains one of the nest Marvel antago-
nists, and now with a starring role in
three lms the franchise seems to value
him (as it should) as much as his more hero-
ic brother.
When The Dark World touches down on
Earth, away from the Clash of the Titans-
style realms of gods, its considerably bet-
ter. Along with Portman, returning is the
sarcasm sidekick Kat Dennings (as Janes
intern) and Stellan Skarsgard as discredited
scientist Erik Selvig. Chris ODowd makes
a welcome cameo as a blind date for a very
reluctant Jane.
The tone is far more amiable on Earth
(London, to be specic, the site of the nal
showdown) than in Asgard, where Anthony
Hopkins, Renee Russo and Idris Elba remain
locked in golden-hued majesty. Hemsworth,
a seemingly perfectly rendered movie star
equipped with brawn and baritone, also suf-
fers from the stiffness. He had much more
fun in Rush earlier this year.
Ardent fans (who should stay through the
credits) will likely be satiated by the pleas-
ing enough Thor: The Dark World. But
perhaps at this point, even diehards may
wish for something more from a Marvel
equation that often subtracts humanity.
Thor: The Dark World, a Walt Disney
release, is ratedPG-13 by the Motion Picture
Association of America for sequences of
intense sci- action and violence, and some
suggestive content. Running time: 111
minutes. Two stars out of four.

more-solid fats to keep consistency.
They also are sometimes used by restau-
rants for frying. Many larger chains have
phased them out, but smaller restaurants
may still get food containing trans fats
from suppliers.
How can the government get rid of them?
The FDA said it has made a preliminary
determination that trans fats no longer fall
in the agencys generally recognized as
safe category, which covers thousands of
additives that manufacturers can add to foods
without FDA review. Once trans fats are off
the list, anyone who wants to use them
would have to petition the agency for a reg-
ulation allowing it, and that would likely
not be approved.
The fats are created when hydrogen is
added to vegetable oil to make it more solid,
which is why they are often called partially
hydrogenated oils. The FDAis not targeting
small amounts of trans fats that occur natu-
rally in some meat and dairy products,
because they would be too difficult to
remove and arent considered a major public
health threat on their own.
Many companies have already phased out
trans fats, prompted by new nutrition labels
introduced by FDA in 2006 that list trans
fats and by an increasing number of local
laws, like one in New York City, that have
banned them. In 2011, Wal-Mart pledged to
remove all artificial trans fats from the
foods the company sells by 2016. Recent
school lunch guidelines prevent them from
being served in cafeterias.
In a statement, New York City Mayor
Michael Bloomberg said it was his citys
2008 ban that led to much of the progress.
Our prohibition on trans fats was one of
many bold public health measures that
faced erce initial criticism, only to gain
widespread acceptance and support, he
said.
Indeed, consumers are eating less of the
fat. According to the FDA, trans fat intake
among Americans declined from 4.6 grams
per day in 2003 to around one gram in 2012.
Ahandful of other countries have banned
them, including Switzerland and Denmark.
Other countries have enacted strict labeling
laws.
Dr. Leon Bruner, chief scientist at the
Grocery Manufacturers Association, said in
a statement that his group estimates that
food manufacturers have voluntarily low-
ered the amount of trans fats in food prod-
ucts by 73 percent.

not too close or far away.
The new location, at 1118 Burlingame
Ave., is slightly bigger and has air condi-
tioning to make the store more comfort-
able for customers, Su said. There will not
be seating though, as is the case in the San
Mateo and San Francisco stores as well,
just because Burlingames rent is very
pricey, he said.
What has kept the store so popular?
The quality of the tea we use is much
better, Su said. Promoting good tea is
still my goal. I want to educate customers
on how to brew tea better. Drinking tea is
more than just tea bags.
Sus tea received awards in its country of
origin, Taiwan. The seemingly addictive
tapioca drinks come in both warm and
cold form and as smoothies. Customers
can mix flavors such as almond, mango
and taro and choose between black and
green teas.
The San Mateo Tpumps location also
houses Sus shipping business, as he used
to be the director of a shipping company
called Topocean. The Burlingame and San
Francisco shops do not include shipping
services. He will be removing the P.O.
boxes in the store though since they tend
to get in the way and were originally put in
to generate additional revenue if the tea
wasnt selling well.
The tea prices have not changed all that
much over time. His savings from his pre-
vious career helped keep the business
afloat at first.
Its very hard to keep prices down, Su
said. Its good enough for profit. Its
even better to see more customers enjoy
tea its something money cannot buy.
Su, a father of a 4-year-old daughter, said
he averages about four hours of sleep a
ni ght .
It helps me divide my time between the
shops, he said.
Does Su have time for vacation?
I think I give the same answer to every-
one I enjoy what I do and this is an actu-
al vacation, he said. Its fun to see the
customers enjoy the drinks.
In addition to the new Burlingame store,
Su plans to open another branch in
Cupertino in late December. He now also
has a Hayward office for distribution. Hes
not sure he sees the business expanding
out of California.
I dont want to go too far, he said.
With the customers encouragement I was
able to get the courage to expand to
Cupertino though.
The Tpumps regular 24-ounce sized drink
is $2.50, while the larger 32-ounce pump-
bo sells for $3.50. Smoothies range from
$3.50 to $4.50 and there is a 50 cent
charge for extra toppings such as popping
boba, taro or red bean. Customers can also
tweak the amount of ice or sweetness of
the beverages.
He is currently looking to hire and train
new employees for the Burlingame loca-
tion. Although the block of the Tpumps
store soon be undergoing construction as
part of the Burlingame Avenue Streetscape
project, Su said the long-term effects of
the changes outweigh the short-term
effects. The stores opening date has yet to
be set.

of its member institutions has mani-
fested into frequent and severe sanc-
tions unseen in other regions.
These are actions which have creat-
ed an enrollment and nancial crisis
for that institution and damaged its
reputation threatening its very
existence as the only public communi-
ty college in the city and county of San
Francisco, despite widespread support
for the college from the people of San
Francisco, the resolution states.
The resolution goes on to urge care-
ful scrutiny of the agencys work as a
regional accreditor during the upcom-
ing review of the agency for federal
recognition by the U.S. Department of
Education.
In the draft, the trustees recommends
that the Department of Education
include in its review of the agency con-
sider merging the agency with the sen-
ior Western Association of Schools
and Colleges agency into a single
higher education accrediting commis-
sion for the western region to bring
the structure of this regions commis-
sion in line with the structure of the
other ve regions.
Other board members would support
such a resolution.
Our chancellor and district have
been more active and vocal in express-
ing concerns about the body, said
Trustee Patricia Miljanich. We still
have to honor all the requirements and
work really hard. Were still very con-
cerned with the tone of accreditation
changing to punishments instead of
improvements. Its unnecessarily
scared many students from having con-
dence in community colleges.
Miljanich said she is glad some
involvement is starting to take place
from legislators. Yesterday, U.S. Rep.
Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, U.S. Rep.
Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, state Sen.
Jim Beall, D-San Jose, and community
college leaders met to discuss the
agencys effect on schools, faculty and
students and ways to improve the
accreditation process.
Don Kaplan, executive secretary of
the American Federation of Teachers,
revised the resolution and requested the
board consider adopting it. Schwarz
agreed to bring the resolution as an
information item to the board for dis-
cussion. So far, six to eight local aca-
demic senates in California have
passed similar resolutions, according
to a staff report. Community college
districts and academic senates across
the state have been asked to adopt the
resolution, Barbara Christensen,
director of community and government
relations, said.
In October, the district interviewed
with the accreditation agency and
turned in supporting documentation
for its accreditation. The accreditation
decision is set to be released in early
2014.
We had to put our worry aside and do
best district can do to comply,
Schwarz said. I think the visiting
team had nothing but compliments on
their way out.
The resolution could go up for vote
at the Dec. 11 board meeting, Schwarz
said. The Tuesday meeting takes place,
6 p.m. Nov. 12 at the district ofce
board room, 3401 CSM Drive in San
Mateo.

REVIEW
learn about and witness raptors in their
natural habitats, said Eric Ruteledge,
project coordinator for the CSLT.
The land that we preserve here on
the coastside is home to some of the
most amazing and diverse group of
raptors in the world and its quite
unique to have this variety of birds so
close to an urban area, Ruteledge said.
The event kicks off on Friday and
runs through Sunday with indoor work-
shops at Camerons Pub, habitat
walks, lectures and an art show.
Coalition members from the Sequoia
Audubon Society and the Golden Gate
Raptor Observatory will talk about
local habitats, how to identify differ-
ent species of birds in the eld, migra-
tory patterns and how to capture the
perfect mid-ight photo.
The public will be guided through
walks in the eld at Wavecrest, Half
Moon Bay State Beach, Pillar Point
Harbor and Pescadero Marsh with
experts and state park volunteers to
scope for birds in their natural habi-
tats. Wavecrest is famous for its vari-
ety of resident and migratory raptors
including the white-tailed kite, turkey
vulture, red-tailed hawk, prairie falcon
and more.
Allen Fish, director of the GGRO,
said Wavecrest has been one of his
favorite spots on the coast since he
rst visited in it 1987. Fish is a raptor
biologist for the nonprot research
group through the National Parks serv-
ice. He will be giving a talk Saturday
evening with an A-Z lexicon of raptor
trivia, Fish said.
Raptors are continually fascinating
to me because they grab peoples
attention so incredibly, Fish said.
Raptors and birds of prey are inher-
ent parts of the worlds evolutionary
history, Fish said. Healthy birds can
be a sign of a healthy ecosystem and,
in ancient times, he believes they
would have been indicators that there
would be good hunting in the area,
Fish said.
The excitement and fear people
experience when viewing raptors
dates back to ancient times, Fish
said. Ten-thousand years ago, New
Zealand was home to massive haasts
eagles that are legend to have eaten
Maori people, Fish said.
As much as Fish relishes in the his-
tory of the keen hunters, he will be
sticking to more current events and
how parts of the Bay Area host the
largest hawk migrations in the western
states, Fish said. His lecture is titled
Accipiters to Zipper Tendons: An
Indirect Flight Through a
Raptorphiles Lexicon.
People experience magic when they
see raptors. When you slow down your
life enough to look out the window
and see the eyes of a red-tailed hawk,
you cant help but step out of your
body a little bit, Fish said.
Raptorama starts with a free wel-
come reception and California Raptor
Art Show opening from 5 p.m.-8 p.m.
at the Coastside Land Trust ofce in
Half Moon Bay. Fish will be lecturing
6 p.m.-9 p.m. Saturday evening.
Workshops and walks are $15 for
adults and $5 for ages 16 and under.

when the market opened.
Still, most analysts dont expect the com-
pany to be protable until 2015. Investors
will be watching closely to see whether
Twitter was worth the premium price.
Thursdays stock surge was really not as
important as you might think, said Kevin
Landis, a portfolio manager with Firsthand
Funds, which owns shares in Twitter. What
really matters is where the stock is going to
be in six months, 12 months.
The most anticipated initial public offer-
ing of the year was carefully orchestrated to
avoid the dysfunction that surrounded
Facebooks IPO.
Trading on the New York Stock Exchange
under the symbol TWTR, shares opened at
$45.10, 73 percent above their initial offer-
ing price.
In the rst few hours, the stock jumped as
high as $50.09. Most of those gains held
throughout the day, with Twitter closing at
$44.90, despite a broader market decline.
The narrow price range indicated that peo-
ple felt it was pretty fairly priced, said JJ
Kinahan, chief strategist at TD Ameritrade.
The price spike clearly shows that
demand exceeds the supply of shares, said
Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter.
Earlier in the day, Twitter gave a few users
rather than executives the opportunity to
ring the NYSEs opening bell. The users
included actor Patrick Stewart, who played
Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The
Next Generation; Vivienne Harr, a 9-year-
old girl who ran a lemonade stand for a year
to raise money to end child slavery; and
Cheryl Fiandaca of the Boston Police
Department.
Twitter raised $1.8 billion Wednesday
night when it sold 70 million shares to
select investors for $26 each. But the huge
rst-day pop left some analysts wondering
whether the company could have raised
more. Had Twitter priced the stock at $30,
for instance, the company would have taken
away $2.1 billion. At $35, it would have
reaped nearly $2.5 billion. Thats a lot for a
company thats never made a prot and had
revenue of just $317 million last year.
If the price stays this high, or goes even
higher, shareholders will no doubt be
happy. But the money that they might make
from any stock sale doesnt go to the com-
pany.
Named after the sound of a chirping bird,
Twitters origins date back to 2005, when
creators Noah Glass and Evan Williams were
trying to get people to sign up for Odeo, a
podcasting service they created. Odeo didnt
make it.
By early 2006, Glass and fellow Odeo
programmer Jack Dorsey began work on a
new project: teaming with co-worker
Christopher Biz Stone on a way to corral
text messages typically sent over a phone.
It was Glass who came up with the origi-
nal name Twttr. The two vowels were added
later. The rst tweets were sent on March
21, 2006.
By 2007, Twitter was incorporated with
Dorsey as the original CEO and Williams as
chairman. Dorsey and Williams would even-
tually swap roles. Both remain major share-
holders, though neither runs the company.
Glass, meanwhile, was effectively erased
from Twitters history, writes New York
Times reporter Nick Bilton in Hatching
Twitter: A true story of money, power,
friendship, and betrayal.
Since those early days, the site has
attracted world leaders, religious gures and
celebrities, along with CEOs, businesses
and countless marketers and self-promoters.
The company avoided the trouble that
plagued Facebooks high-profile debut,
which suffered technical glitches that had
lasting consequences. On that first day,
Facebook closed just 23 cents above its $38
IPO price and later fell much lower. The
stock needed more than a year to climb back
above $38.
The Securities and Exchange Commission
later ned Nasdaq $10 million, the largest
ne ever levied against an exchange.
Those problems likely led Twitter to the
NYSE.
At its IPO price, Twitter was valued at
roughly 28 times its projected 2013 revenue
$650 million based on its current growth
rate. In comparison, Facebook trades at
about 16 times its projected 2013 revenue,
according to analyst forecasts from FactSet.
Google Inc. meanwhile, is trading at
about 7 times its net revenue, the gure Wall
Street follows that excludes ad commis-
sions.
Research rm Outsell Inc. puts Twitters
fundamental value at about half of the IPO
price, said analyst Ken Doctor. That gure is
based on factors such as revenue and revenue
growth.
Thats not unusual, Doctor said.
Especially for tech companies. You are bet-
ting on a big future.
As a newly public company, one of
Twitters biggest challenges will be to gen-
erate more revenue outside the U.S.
More than three-quarters of Twitters 232
million users are outside the U.S. But only
26 percent of Twitters revenue comes from
abroad. The company has said that it plans
to hire more sales representatives in coun-
tries such as Australia, Brazil and Ireland.
Twitter shares entered a declining market.
Wall Street had its worst day since August as
traders worried that the Federal Reserve
could cut back on its economic stimulus.
Investors grew concerned about a surpris-
ingly strong report on U.S. economic
growth in the third quarter, which led many
to believe the Fed could start pulling back
as soon as next month, earlier than many
anticipated.
After 33 record-high closes this year, an
increasing number of investors believe the
stock market has become frothy and is ready
for a pullback.
TWITTER
RAMALLAH, West Bank Yasser
Arafats mysterious 2004 death turned into a
whodunit Thursday after Swiss scientists
who examined his remains said the
Palestinian leader was probably poisoned
with radioactive polonium.
Yet hard proof remains elusive, and nine
years on, tracking down anyone who might
have slipped minuscule amounts of the
lethal substance into
Arafats food or drink
could be difcult.
A new investigation
could also prove embar-
rassing and not just
for Israel, which the
Palestinians have long
accused of poisoning
their leader and which
has denied any role.
The Palestinians themselves could come
under renewed scrutiny, since Arafat was
holed up in his Israeli-besieged West Bank
compound in the months before his death,
surrounded by advisers, staff and body-
guards.
Arafat died at a French military hospital
on Nov. 11, 2004, at age 75, a month after
suddenly falling violently ill at his com-
pound. At the time, French doctors said he
died of a stroke and had a blood-clotting
problem, but records were inconclusive
about what caused that condition.
The Swiss scientists said that they found
elevated traces of polonium-210 and lead in
Arafats remains that could not have
occurred naturally, and that the timeframe of
Arafats illness and death was consistent
with poisoning from ingesting polonium.
Arafats mysterious death becomes a whodunit
