Redwood City eyes Airbnb tax

Officials consider ways to boost the construction of affordable housing
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Redwood City Council is

exploring a number of options to
boost the construction of affordable housing including taxing residents who rent out rooms short
term through online companies
such as Airbnb.
The council will also consider
amending the citys General and

Downtown Precise plans to require
a minimum of 10 percent of new
housing units be set aside as
affordable. The precise plan
allows for the total construction
of 2,500 new apartments in the
downtown core.
Developers will also likely be
charged impact fees toward building affordable housing after the
city participated in a countywide

nexus study that links the connection between the development of
commercial space and market-rate
housing and the need to expand
the supply of affordable housing.
City staff is recommending
adoption of a $20 per square feet
fee for market-rate residential and
office developments. A lesser fee
would be applied to retail and
hotel developments at $5 per

square feet, according to a statement sent by city spokeswoman
Meghan Horrigan.
Zoning changes could also provide residents more flexibility
when it comes to allowing for
backyard cottages or in-law units.
The council is set to consider
the options at its Oct. 26 meeting.
At the same meeting, it will also

Schools to explore athletic field project

Collaboration between San Carlos city and school officials stays on track
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The groundwork for a possible

collaboration between San Carlos
city and school officials to install
artificial turf at school athletic
fields has been laid, under direction
of the San Carlos Elementary
School District Board of Trustees.
The board agreed Thursday, Oct.
8, to move forward with exploring
a potential agreement with the city
to remove the natural grass fields at
Arundel Elementary School, as
well as Central and Tierra Linda
middle schools, and install new turf
fields, according to a video of the
meeting.
Though the project is just in the
preliminary stages of planning,
officials claim such an effort could
work in the best interest of both
parties to increase the amount of
available athletic field space for
young athletes in San Carlos,
while improving the districts
facilities.
Some of the districts fields are in
a state of disrepair, according to
Superintendent Craig Baker, and
the way they are fixed and maintained will be affected by the prevailing drought conditions.
Since the district is limited in the
amount of water that can be used to
feed natural grass fields, Baker said
installing turf would likely be the
most responsible course of action.
If we do not want turf, we need to
know that and we are going to have
to be pretty creative in what we
want to do, he said. Because I
cannot recommend that we put in
new grass in the next year, given
If we do not want turf, we need to know that

and we are going to have to be pretty creative in what
we want to do. ... Because I cannot recommend that we put
in new grass in the next year, given the situation we are in right now.
Superintendent Craig Baker
the situation we are in right now.

City officials have offered to
help pay for installation of new
fields, should the school district be
willing to increase access for residents and the rest of the community to use the open space when class
is not in session.
There is a shortage of field space
in San Carlos, said Councilman
Mark Olbert, and the city does not
own as much property as the
school district, which is why a collaboration might be necessary
between the two agencies to best
serve the needs of the citys athletic community.
He lauded the willingness of the
district to move forward toward an
agreement.
Its great to see the district and
city working together, he said.
Though both agencies seem willing to explore the feasibility of an
agreement which could lead to the
installation of turf, some have
noted the need for a considerable
amount of public outreach, as the
artificial surface has been traditionally divisive in San Carlos.
School board Vice President
Kathleen Farley called turf the
third rail of San Carlos politics,
and said though she believed a partnership should be pursued, a significant amount of input from the pub-
lic should be sought as officials

consider the proposal.
We need to be really clear about
how we are going to deal with all
the
logistics,
she said.
Trustee Seth Rosenblatt said
though he appreciated the need for
community feedback, it is imperative the district try to move forward
toward a decision in an efficient
fashion, rather than get waylaid by
discussions and process.
He acknowledged the historic
reluctance of the community to
sign off on installing turf fields,
citing the opposition that formed
the last time laying down the artificial surface at Highlands Park was
proposed.
I know people get emotional
about this topic, he said. But it is
close to uniquely a San Carlos
issue. This doesnt come up that
much in other cities and other
school districts.
He said he felt, in the past, other
local communities were amused by
the unwillingness of San Carlos to
get behind installing turf.
Going forward, Rosenblatt said
he favored pursuing a resolution in
the most efficient fashion possible.
Whatever we decide to do, we
need to come out with a very clear
and concise path to a decision, he

said. I dont want to take eight
years.
Details regarding the degree to
which either agency would be
responsible for paying for a portion of the installation, should the
agreement eventually be established, has yet to be determined.
Trustee Adam Rak said he does not
believe the district should pay for
turf installation, and that it should
be financed by the city.
I dont think we should spend
any money on some of these
improvements, he said.
There are still a considerable
amount of negotiations that need
to be worked out, should an agreement be reached, said Olbert.
The devil is always in the
details, he said.
Olbert said he was hopeful that
progress toward an agreement on
some portion of the project could
be made before the end of the year.
There are plenty other communities where the city and district
collaborate very closely to build
and maintain fields, he said. Id
love to see something like that
happen in San Carlos.

Man arrested
for DUI after collision

California may allow inmate
firefighters with violent pasts
SACRAMENTO California officials
are considering allowing inmates with
violent backgrounds to work outside
prison walls fighting wildfires, and the
idea is generating concerns about public
safety.
The state has the nations largest and
oldest inmate firefighting unit, with about
3,800 members who provide critical assistance to professional firefighters. Thats
down from about 4,400 in previous years,
however, and so prison officials are looking for ways to add inmates.
Now, only minimum-security inmates
with no history of violent crimes can participate. Starting next year, the California
Department
of
Corrections
and
Rehabilitation is proposing adding
inmates convicted of violent offenses such
as assaults and robberies, if their security
classification level has been reduced after
years of good behavior.

Dem debate a breakout chance for OMalley, others

By Catherine Lucey and Ken Thomas
DES MOINES, Iowa Stuck far behind

Hillary Rodham Clinton and Bernie Sanders
in the race for the Democratic presidential
nomination, Martin OMalley needs a breakout moment in the partys first debate to catch
up to the front-runners.
And he knows it.
This will really be the first time that
nationally voters see that theres more than
one alternative to this years inevitable frontrunner, Secretary Clinton, OMalley said.
Its a very, very important opportunity for
me to not only present my vision for where
the country should head, but also 15 years of
executive experience, actually accomplishing the progressive things some of the other
candidates can only talk about, he said.
The former governor of Maryland and mayor
of Baltimore got into the race at the end of
May, after telegraphing for some time his
plans to seek the White House in 2016. The
entries of the two others

who will be onstage
Tuesday night in Las
Vegas, former Virginia
Sen. Jim Webb and former
Rhode Island Sen. Lincoln
Chafee, were surprises to
most. But all three have
one thing in common
an inability so far to genMartin
erate any of the enthusiOMalley
asm among voters that has
pushed Sanders into and kept Clinton at the
top of the field. All three poll in low single
digits in early preference surveys, well below
even Vice President Joe Biden, who has yet to
say if hell make a late entry into the race.
OMalley has been openly critical of the
Democratic National Committee and the decision to hold six primary debates, with four
scheduled in early primary states before the
Iowa caucuses on Feb. 1. He has mounted a
push for the party to expand the number, even
encouraging protests in front of Democratic
Party headquarters.
The party hasnt budged, but OMalley is
undaunted. He has campaigned aggressively
in Iowa and New Hampshire, far more than
Webb or Chafee. He is critical of Clinton for
her recent shifts on policy issues, among
them her opposition to the Trans-Pacific
Partnership trade deal, which he calls a reversal. OMalley also touts his executive experience in dealing with issues such as gun control, in which Sanders record matches more
with his largely rural home state than his
place in the race as a liberal firebrand promising political revolution.
We have to draw contrasts, OMalley
said. I think we can do it in a respectful way.
Expect Chafee, the former senator and governor from Rhode Island, to go after Clinton
for her 2002 vote to authorize the war in Iraq.
Chafee, at the time a Republican, opposed the
invasion and hes said Clintons support for
the war, which she has more recently called a
mistake, is at the center of his decision to
run.

Brown signed Senate Bi l l 2 1 , authored by state
Sen. Jerry Hi l l , D-San Mateo , Saturday. The bill
increases transparency within the Po l i ti cal Refo rm
Act by requiring non-prots that pay for elected ofcial
travel to disclose to the FPPC the names of the donors
responsible for funding the travel, according to Hills
ofce.
The bill applies to nonprots that spend a large portion of their budgets on conferences and travel.
Currently these nonprots dont have to disclose the
source of travel funding, preventing the public from
knowing who was behind the gift to the elected ofcial.
SB 21 would also require elected ofcials to disclose to
the FPPC the destination of their travel if it was a gift,
according to Hills ofce.

Community grant benefits local students

answers questions in a news conference after winning the
2015 economics Nobel Prize on the Princeton University
campus in Princeton.
Princeton economist wins

Nobel for work on poverty
Angus Deaton has dug into obscure data to explore a range

of problems: The scope of poverty in India. How poor countries treat young girls. The link between income inequality
and economic growth.
The Princeton University economists research has raised
doubts about sweeping solutions to poverty and about the
effectiveness of aid programs. And on Monday, it earned
him the Nobel prize in economics.
For work that the award committee said has had immense
importance for human welfare, not least in poor countries,
Deaton, 69, will receive a prize of 8 million Swedish kronor (about $975,000) from the Royal Swedish Academy of
Sciences.
Deatons research has shown other researchers and international organizations like the World Bank how to go
about understanding poverty at the very basic level, said
Torsten Persson, secretary of the award committee.

Some middle school students in South

San Francisco will soon enjoy exciting,
innovative educational programs purchased with money offered to their
teachers by a grassroots community
fundraising organization.
The South San Francisco Community
Outreach Program is offering $5,000 in
grant funding to middle school teachers
in the South San Francisco Unified
School District who need additional
money to supplement classroom curriculum.
Councilwoman Karyl Matsumoto
spearheads the community outreach program, which brings together city officials, members of the education community and other volunteers to raise and
donate money for the benefit of South
San Francisco residents.
Elaine Garbarino, co-chair of the outreach program, said the education grant
is a way to give back to teachers, who at
times feel they do not have the resources
necessary to offer all their desired lessons or programs.
We are always looking for some way
to help, she said, of the programs mission.
This is the second year the outreach
program has offered grants to teachers,
and has also attempted to help students
in the past by donating backpacks full
of school supplies, said Garbarino.
Superintendent Shawnterra Moore
said in an email the grant program is
greatly appreciated by district officials.
I am very thankful for the partnership with the Community Outreach
Program, she said. Any time we can
find ways to provide resources, tools or

support for our staff and students that
will assist with student learning and
achievement, its a great thing.
Garbarino said she expects five grants
worth $1,000 will be awarded this year
to each teacher who applied. The five
applicants this year mark an increased
interest in the program, as only two educators applied last year.
The money was raised through revenue generated by hosting community
events, such as jazz concerts, or from
the generosity of local residents and
organizations willing to make a donation, said Garbarino.
She said she was unsure why the grant
program has only been met with limited
enthusiasm.
The money is there, we just want to
give it to the people who are asking for
it, she said.
Garbarino said she has gone to school
principals and encouraged them to get
more teachers to apply for the grants,
but that effort has been met with a marginal response.
Rosa Acosta, of the South San
Francisco Unified School District Board
of Trustees and also a member of the
community outreach program, said she
too was confused by the lack of interest
in the grant money.
Im trying to wrap my head around
it, she said.
She said she doesnt know whether the
group needs to do more outreach.
Maybe its a lack of knowing who we
are and what we do, she said.
She said she wondered if maybe the
lack of response stemmed from a reluctance by educators to ask for additional
resources.
Regardless, she said she hoped that it
would continue to
grow in popularity in coming years.

The program has even pushed back
the deadline for grant applications by
another week from its original deadline
in September, in hopes more people
would apply. The final deadline passed
Friday, Oct. 9.
Acosta said despite the lukewarm
response from teachers, the program
works well to establish collaboration
between the city and school district, a
relationship which at times in the past
has been strained.
This is a wonderful relationship that
can benefit us all, she said, of the outreach program.
Garbarino concurred, and said teachers
who have won the grant money in the
past were greatly appreciative for the
additional opportunity to offer their students better programs.
She said a science teacher at
Westborough Middle School used the
money he won last year to purchase a
program which helped teach coding curriculum.
Moore said the additional funding is
helpful in helping the district teachers
offer lessons that meet the demands of a
changing landscape in education.
As we transition to Common Core,
every little bit helps to ensure we are
meeting the educational goals weve
established for the year, she said.
Garbarino said helping to offer those
opportunities, even to a few teachers
who have applied for the grants, is
tremendously rewarding.
Its just good to give back to the
community, she said.
Acosta echoed those sentiments.
This is an opportunity for us to bond
and build collaboration and work toward
the best interest of our children and our
city, she said.
Netanyahu accuses Arabs of

incitement in wave of stabbings
JERUSALEM Palestinians carried out
three stabbings Monday in Jerusalem, leaving a teenage Israeli boy in critical condition, and Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu angrily accused the countrys
Arab leaders of helping incite weeks of violence. Two of the attackers, both teenage
boys, were killed.
ELECTION
Continued from page 1
down with the Daily Journal as part of the
papers endorsement process to argue for
and against the $45 million bond on this
Novembers ballot.
Former mayor Tom Davids and current
Vice Mayor Cameron Johnson argue that
the land should be preserved as open space
while bond opponents Lorene Lederer and
Andrew Shenk say the land is not worth the
asking price.
The bond would go toward the purchase of
23.5 acres in three parcels that was the former home of the Black Mountain Spring
Water site located on hilly terrain at
Alameda de las Pulgas between Madera
Avenue and Melendy Drive.
It features the 11.3-acre Black Mountain
property, 7.3-acre Rollieri property and
4.9-acre Vista Del Grande property.
The Black Mountain property is on the
market now with an asking price of about
$18 million.
But just how much San Carlos residents
will have to pay in total for the properties
remains an unknown as will the lands ultimate use, Lederer and Shenk said.
They contend there is no definitive plan
for how the land will be used, that it is not
pristine open space and that its too steep in
parts for recreational purposes.
They also say that Measure V supporters
have used scare tactics by saying the land is
technically zoned for more than 100 homes.
LOCAL/WORLD
Around the world
In a fiery speech at parliament, Netanyahu
accused Arab parties of undermining the
country. He called on Israels Arab citizens
to kick out the extremists among you.
Netanyahu spoke on another bloody day,
the latest in a monthlong wave of IsraeliPalestinian violence.
In a new setback for efforts to restore
calm, the Quartet of Mideast mediators
Shenk said the most homes that could
possibly be built on the land is more like 40
considering its steep slopes.
City voters would be doing the current
property owners a big favor if they decide to
tax themselves to purchase the land, said
Lederer.
The land has been on the market a long
time and no one is willing to buy it, Shenk
said.
Davids, who served on the San Carlos
City Council between 1991 and 2007, said
the city has had its eye on the property for a
long time.
Davids likes the idea that there are no concrete plans on what to do with the land if
voters approve the bond.
City residents can make their own rules
as to the use of the land, Davids said.
The plan now is to form a citizens committee to oversee the future uses of the land
if Measure V passes.
Johnson said it was unlikely any athletic
fields to host major sporting events would
be constructed on the land. Recreational
playgrounds are more likely, Johnson said.
For Davids, the land would be perfect for
walking trails considering its sweeping
views and tranquil setting.
If the city does not buy it, it will be sold
and turned into a new neighborhood,
Davids said.
The idea to buy the property came to be
when city residents were asked what, if any,
big project they would support the city
undertaking.

TEHRAN, Iran Jason Rezaian, the
Washington Post journalist who has been

detained in Iran for more than a year on
charges including espionage, has been convicted, according to Irans judiciary
spokesman in a ruling the newspaper blasted Monday as an outrageous injustice.
Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejehi confirmed the verdict in comments aired on
state TV late Sunday night but gave no indication of what punishment the 39-year-old
Iranian-American journalist could face.
could support such as addressing the citys

infrastructure needs in a community outreach effort conducted last year.
No other proposal met the two-thirds
threshold, Johnson said.
With all the new housing, office and hotel
projects coming to San Carlos near downtown, buying the property would protect
the balance between open space and development, Johnson said.
It would be a lost opportunity for the city
not to preserve it and the support is
strong, Johnson said.
The measure needs two-thirds approval to
pass.
Polling by a private consultant indicates
support for the measure hovers just around
65 percent.
The city is in good shape and the economy is doing well. Thats why we should get
it done now, Johnson said.
Some of the bond money will not only go
toward purchasing the land but for improvements such as creating access and parking,
Johnson said.
If successful, it could be a canvas to add
facilities and evolve over time, Johnson
said about the land.
The Yes on V campaign has raised nearly
$50,000 to pass the bond while the measures foes have raised less than $5,000.
Councilman Mark Olbert and his wife
contributed $10,000 alone to support the
bonds passage.

The average San Carlos residential property owner would pay an additional $118 in
annual property taxes if the bond measure is
passed.
Opponents of Measure V say that amount
would be too burdensome a bill for San
Carlos seniors who have seen fees rise for
all kinds of services including for the citys
sewer system.
Lederer, who was initially asked to be the
treasurer for the Yes on V campaign, is the
former president of Carlmont High Schools
Parent Teacher Student Association.
She initially supported the idea of buying
the land but changed her mind saying it
would be another tax burden to older property owners, especially those who live on
fixed incomes.
For Shenk, a director at Argus Financial
Corp., the purchase is more about dollars
and cents and whether buying the land is a
good investment.
City residents would be paying the highest price imaginable to preserve Black
Mountain as open space, Shenk said.
It comes down to whether voters were
swayed by a sales job, he said.
Its not nefarious but its not good business, Shenk said. They are misleading the
public.
This election in San Mateo County is

OPINION
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Ng, Kohn Hsieh for San Mateo-Foster City school board CAGOP platform
navigates journey
Daily Journal
Editorial
T
he San Mateo-Foster City

Elementary School District is the
countys largest with 12,000 students and growing. It faces challenges
with its enrollment growth, diverse student population and, like all California
districts, adapting to new curriculum standards and an ever-changing school funding
structure.
These are heady issues and they take
sound leadership to move forward in a positive and communicative way. The district
itself has a new superintendent and is
awaiting the results of Novembers ballot
to determine if Measure X, a $148 million
school bond, will pass. Whatever the
result, tough decisions will have to be
made on facilities and growth, along with
the everyday issues a school district of
this size must face.
Incumbent Audrey Ng is a solid choice
for re-election. She has a rm grasp on the
districts issues, both past and present, and
is smart enough to easily translate education jargon into everyday language that
makes sense to all. Ng is accessible and
approachable, with an easy demeanor that
is key when dealing with a variety of
issues and concerns that surely rise to the
surface. As one of the school board
trustees on the Next Steps Committee that
opened the dialogue on school facilities
needs, she has been where the rubber hit
the road on ensuring each area of the community had a place in the discussion. What
resulted was a far better proposal than the
last failed bond measure that takes into
account the districts wide needs.
Candidate Bryan Williams has classroom

experience as a music teacher in a San Jose
school and has a rm grasp on curriculum
changes and how best to meet those specic challenges. There is a denite place
for a teacher on a school board, and that
would provide a good perspective especially one that holds the importance of the
arts dear. However, Williams could use a
little more time learning more about the
districts specics and its past and present
challenges. With some more experience
being active in this community, he would
be a ne contributor on this school board
in the future.
Candidate Nancy Kohn Hsieh has a rmer
grasp on this district and has a background
in advocacy. While there is room for advocacy on a board, it can be perilous at times
in an ofcial setting. However, she has a
strong interest in increasing communication with the community and that can be
helpful for a district that has had some
challenges with that in the past.
Furthermore, she understands district
issues, classroom challenges and the
importance of focusing on the success of
the whole child.
It would have been nice to have seen
more candidates in this race so there could
be a more robust discussion of the districts past, present and future and how it
will meet current and future challenges.
However, in this race, Ng and Kohn Hsieh
deserve your vote.

Letters to the editor

Its hypocritical
to forget Hillary Clinton
Editor,
Arecent letter writer (in the Sept. 21 edition of the Daily Journal) charged the Daily
Journal editors with being irresponsible
for printing Dorothy Dimitres columns.
We might add Sue Lemperts contributions
to that accusation.
I suppose that we would like to read
columns that evince some intelligence and
objectivity, but Lemperts writing is nothing more than thinly disguised propaganda. In her column (in the Sept. 21 edition
of the Daily Journal) which purports to
address the qualications required of school
board or city councilmembers, her main
point becomes obvious toward the end
when she claims that Trump and Carson are
not suitable candidates for a school board
since she guesses that they sent their children to private school.
Im sure that an avid fact checker such as
Dorothy Dimitre would frown on such surmise. What Lempert does not mention (of
course) is that Mrs. Clintons offspring did
attend private schools (Mrs. Dimitre would
be glad to verify this fact), but shes not
listed with Trump and Carson and would be
equally unsuitable to serve on a school

Perspective Columns
Should be no longer than 600 words.
Illegibly handwritten letters and anonymous letters will not
board, according to Lemperts logic. The

real dishonesty in the column, though,
resides in the fact that Lempert, by extension, implies that Trump and Carson would
be poor choices for president; maybe shes
right.But she should also add Clinton to
her list of people she deems unworthy; at
least Trump and Carson have achieved success outside the political arena during their
professional lives. Any clear-thinking,
objective person who looks at the record
(with help from Dorothy Dimitre, naturally,) would nd it unconscionable to support
Clintons campaign when the only thing
shes done well all these years is raise
money.

ship is unlikely to survive turbulent seas if its crew members ignore

hostile storms. Today, our nation
sails upon some of the most turbulent and
pressing issues of our time issues that we
can no longer ignore. That is what makes
the 2016 election cycle among the most
critical in decades. American voters understand that, in this election, we must collectively rise to the task of addressing these
concerns before the storms level our beloved
nation.
As such, the
eyes of the nation
were xed on the
California
Republican Party
in September as
the state party
voted to adopt a
new platform at
its annual convention. The
platform would
ultimately proJonathan Madison
vide a guiding
light for how to
sail the nations most turbulent issues for
the next four years.
I had the distinct honor of representing the
San Mateo County Republican delegation at
the annual event. Local and national media
were unusually eager to spotlight this convention as the party would vote to reafrm
its positions on some of the most critical
issues of our time: comprehensive immigration reform, enhancing our nations education standards and the increasing debate
about the limits of religious freedoms under
the First Amendment. According to a
September 2015 Gallup poll, these issues are
among the most important for American voters.
Whats more, the wide and vastly different
landscape of presidential candidates
namely the rise of Donald Trump have
focused a great deal of attention on the
Republican Partys position on such issues.
I am proud to report that the California GOP
rose to that challenge. The most signicant
change was an amendment to the immigration policy plank, approved by a 74-24 margin in the platform committee and slightly
modied at the state partys general session.
Among other things, the amended immigration section welcomes, not abandons, legal
immigrants. The language reafrms the state
partys belief in the commitment to control
our borders, and supports a nationwide e-verify system that enables our government to
sufciently distinguish the legal from the
undocumented.
The party also revised its section on crime
and justice, urging that victims testimony
be allowed at parole hearings. The platform
supports strengthening locally developed
education standards rather than adopting a
blanket standard for vastly different states
and localities. The platform also provides
support for laws that prohibit discrimination
in housing and employment based on sexual
orientation and disability.
The state party made history in addressing
its position on the limits of religious freedom for the rst time. I was pleased to witness the delegation come together on a broad
consensus to adopt meaningful language in
the platform that equally acknowledges our
First Amendment rights to freedom of religion and our California Constitutions protection from discrimination or preference.
The California GOPs revised platform is a
signicant step forward for our state party,
and I am proud to say that the party rose to
the challenge of afrming its stance on the
right side of the most critical issues of our
time. Our state and nation is preparing to
face difcult choices in a critical election
year. If we are to sail successfully through
those issues, we must have a clear framework
for navigating the tumultuous journey ahead.

acquire the data storage company for
$67 billion. Energy stocks slumped as
the price of oil fell sharply following
a report that showed OPEC members
are keeping up production even after a
big drop in prices over the last year.
Investors will be focusing on corporate earnings this week as they try to
assess the impact that slowing global
growth is having on company profits.
Analysts are projecting that earnings
contracted more than 5 percent in the
third quarter as overseas demand weakened. JPMorgan Chase, Intel and
Johnson & Johnson are among companies that will publish their earnings
in coming days.
While the stock market was open
Monday, bond trading was closed in
observance of the Columbus Day holiday.
The market is trading in a holiday
mode, said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Rockwell Global
Capital. We could see some hefty
gyrations as earnings season moves
into full gear.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
rose 2.57 points, or 0.1 percent, to

2,017.46. The Dow Jones industrial
average rose 47.37 points, or 0.3 percent, to 17,131.86. The Nasdaq composite climbed 8.17 points, or 0.2
percent, to 4,838.64.
Energy stocks dropped the most
among the 10 industry sectors of the
S&P 500 as the price of crude fell
sharply.
Oil dropped as a report showed that
OPEC members are keeping up production even after a big drop in prices.
Benchmark U.S. crude fell $2.53 to
close at $47.10 a barrel on the New
York Mercantile Exchange. Brent
crude, used to price international oils,
fell $2. 79 to $49. 86 a barrel in
London.
The slide in crude prices since last
year is having a big impact on corporate earnings.
Overall, earnings are forecast to
slide by 5.3 percent, compared with
the same period last year, but much of
that decline is due to a big slump in
energy company profits. Earnings in
the energy sector are forecast to slide
by 66 percent, according to S&P
Capital IQ.
Still, some analysts are confident
that the outlook for companies will
improve next year, as demand revives
overseas and improving consumer
confidence boosts the U.S. economy.
This earnings season will be a con-
firmation process. Yes, we have low

inflation and yes, we are growing very
moderately, but fairly dependably,
said Scott Wren, senior global equity
strategist at Wells Fargo Investment
Institute. It will be OK, it wont be
great, but I think we can look forward
to better earnings growth in 2016.
Gains were also muted as the stock
market was coming off its biggest
week of the year.
Most of the advance came after a disappointing jobs report which suggested the Federal Reserve could postpone
a long-anticipated interest rate rise for
several months. That thought was
reinforced Thursday, when the minutes
from the September Fed meeting
showed policymakers were too concerned about low inflation and the
slowdown in China to raise interest
rates.
Low rates can help boost stocks by
reducing returns on fixed-income
investments such as bonds. They also
make it easier for companies to borrow
in the bond markets, giving them
funds to buy back their own stock.
On Monday, Eli Lilly was among the
days biggest losers.
The stock dropped after the drugmaker said it was halting development of
evacetrapib, a drug that was intended
to treat patients with high-risk heart
disease. The stock fell $6.70, or 7.1
percent, to $79.44.
Dell buying EMC in $67B bet on data storage

By Mae Anderson
NEW YORK Dell is buying data

storage company EMC for $67 billion in a huge bet on a segment of
technology that has proven to be
more profitable than the slumping
personal computer market.
The acquisition announced Monday
marks Dells latest attempt to lessen
its dependence on the PC industry
that it helped pioneer as demand for
desktop and laptop machines weakens amid the growing popularity of
smartphones and tablets.
The price makes this the largest
deal ever between two technology
companies,
eclipsing
Avago
Technologies proposed $37 billion
acquisition of rival chipmaker
Broadcom announced five months
ago. The Dell-EMC union is an illustration of how older technology

companies are scrambling to adapt to
the upheaval unleashed by Apples
introduction of the trendsetting
iPhone eight years ago and the
advent of digital services that are
hosted in remote data centers so they
can be reached by any Internet-connected device.
Since going private in a $25 billion deal completed in 2013, Dell
Inc. has been investing in research
and development and expanding its
software and services business as
those in the technology industry
continue to struggle with soft PC
sales.
EMC meanwhile has been shifting
from a provider of data storage hardware such as on-premise data centers
to offering a more comprehensive
suite of products to businesses, from

cloud storage to security offerings.
Our new company will be exceptionally well-positioned for growth
in the most strategic areas of next
generation IT including digital transformation, software-defined data center, converged infrastructure, hybrid
cloud, mobile and security, Michael
Dell said in a written statement.
Dell will serve as chairman and
CEO of the combined company. Joe
Tucci, chairman and CEO of EMC,
will remain in those roles until the
deal is complete.
FBR analyst Daniel Ives said the
deal means Dell is no longer your
grandmas PC company.
Its a landmark, historic deal that
really brings them into the enterprise
market and makes them a behemoth,
Ives wrote in a Monday note.

Warriors formally acquire Mission Bay site

By Hannah Albarazi
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
The Golden State Warriors today

announced their formal acquisition of a 12acre waterfront site in San Franciscos
Mission Bay neighborhood where they
plan to build a 18,000-seat arena as well as
two office towers.
The announcement comes just days after
University of California at San Francisco
endorsed the sports and entertainment com-
plex at 16th and Third streets, across from

the newly completed UCSF Medical Center
at Mission Bay.
Warriors president and chief operating
officer Rick Welts said in a statement today,
We love this neighborhood nobody else
is getting this land.
The project had been previously threatened by concerns that a multi-use arena
would create too much traffic congestion
near the medical center.
But those concerns have been assuaged
and a preliminary agreement has been

reached with UCSF, creating a special transportation improvement fund for the neighborhood and placing a limit on events at the
arena in special circumstances.
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, one of the
fiercest proponents of the arena, said last
week after UCSF announced their endorsement of the proposed arena, Im happy to
announce that weve reached a consensus on
the most critical issues, and now were ready
to move forward together.
Sianna serves up a gem

By Terry Bernal
Athlete of the Week
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Menlo freshman Sianna Houghton has

already enjoyed plenty of firsts in her brief
varsity volleyball career.
This season marks the first time
Houghton and her older sister Jessica have
ever played on the same volleyball team.
Its also the first year Houghton a libero
since she took up playing volleyball at age
12 has played an attacker role at the outside hitter position.
Both those firsts Houghton anticipated,
but she never imagined producing such a
once-in-a-lifetime performance as she did in
last Thursdays five-set win at Notre DameSan Jose to earn Daily Journal Athlete of the
Week honors.
After a back-and-forth battle to force a
Game 5, Houghton closed out the match with
a 14-point service run to lead the Knights to
a 15-0 victory in the decisive set.
It was all a blur, Houghton said. It all
went by so fast.
The reason Houghton didnt score 15
straight points is because Notre Dame-SJ
opened the match on the service line. But
after Menlo forced a sideout, Houghton
stepped up and quickly got into sync consistently rocking serves down the sideline. She
saved the best for last, firing her only ace of
the unlikely streak at match point to end it.
Not that the freshman would take any of the
credit for the win.
I wouldnt say my serving is the reason
we won the game, Houghton said. I just
got it over the net and the hitters were
able to get kills.
Yet even Menlo head coach Steve Cavella
said hes never witnessed anyone go on a
service run like that.
Serving 14 balls in a row is pretty
insane, Cavella said.
Both Houghton and Cavella agreed the
streak was an all-around team effort, and a flawless one at that. The Knights were lined up for
a flourish with one of their best rotations on
the floor, including a front row of outside hitter Maddie Stewart, opposite hitter Ashley
Dreyer and middle blocker Olivia Pellarin.
However, not everyone is convinced that

the proposed arena will be good for the
neighborhood.
Sam Singer, spokesman for the Mission
Bay Alliance, said the agreement could lead
to life-threatening delays for San
Francisco.
The Mission Bay Alliance, which represents UCSF stakeholders and concerned citizens in Mission Bay, maintains that the

hen talking to Burlingame

coach John Philipopoulos
before the 2015 season started, I asked him how Laipeli Barry Palu
was looking.
Hes a man among boys, was
Philipopoulos response.
Friday night, I got my rst look at Palu
this season and Philipopoulos assessment was right on the money.
Palu is an absolute beast of a running
back. Listed at 6-foot, 225 pounds, the
senior ran around,
through and over
the Aragon defense,
leading the
Panthers to an
important 35-21
win over the Dons.
He simply looked
bigger and more
physical than all
but a handful of
players on the eld.
Palu nished with
190 yards rushing
and three scores on
31 carries, doing the bulk of his damage in
the second half. Over the nal two quarters,
Palu carried the ball 22 times for 129 yards
and scored all three of his touchdowns.
None were bigger than a fourth-down
carry late in the game. The Panthers,
leading 28-21, faced a fourth-and-1 at the
Aragon 45. A punt would give the ball
back to the Dons, with a chance to drive
for the tying touchdown.
Or, Burlingame could go for the rst
down and all but ice the game.
Not only did Palu ice the game, he put an
exclamation point on it. Following a timeout, Philipopoulos chose to go for it. Palu
took the handoff straight ahead and ripped
off a 15-yard gain, down to the Aragon 30.
After gaining four yards on the next play,
Palu took the handoff for the nal time and
burst 26 yards for a two-touchdown lead
with just over a minute to play.

Royals stave off elimination with epic comeback

By Kristie Rieken
HOUSTON Astros shortstop Carlos

Correa couldnt handle a deflected grounder
that might have been a double-play ball, helping the Kansas City Royals rally for five runs
in the eighth inning to beat Houston 9-6
Monday and force their playoff series to a
decisive Game 5.
Correa homered twice, doubled, singled and
drove in four runs in Game 4 of the AL
Division Series. Houston took a 6-2 lead into
the eighth, but a tough error charged to the 21year-old rookie keyed the Royals comeback
to even the matchup at two

games apiece.
Game 5 will be back in
Kansas City on Wednesday
night. Johnny Cueto is set
to start for the Royals
against Collin McHugh.
Everyone that watched
that game, everybody that
was a part of that game
Alex Gordon knows how difficult it is to
feel like that game was closing in our favor
and then have it not go our way, Astros manager A.J. Hinch said.
But its big boy sport. Well adjust, and we
will be ready to play, he said.

Late in the game, a tweet from the account
of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott congratulated the
Astros on advancing to the AL
Championship Series.
But the defending AL champion Royals had
other ideas.
Kansas City opened the eighth with five
straight singles off relievers Will Harris and
Tony Sipp, with RBI hits by Lorenzo Cain and
Eric Hosmer making it 6-4 and leaving the
bases with no outs.
Kendrys Morales followed with a hard, onebouncer off Sipps glove. The ball took two
more hops and got past the top of Correas
mitt, rolling into center field as two runs

scored to tie it at 6.
Alex Gordons RBI groundout off Luke
Gregerson later in the inning put Kansas City
ahead.
Hosmer launched a long, two-run homer in
the ninth for insurance.
We always feel that were still in games,
and we still have a chance, Hosmer said.
Thats the mentality for this whole entire
team. Its never quit, and the character we
showed today. Thats what a championship
ballclub does.

49ers find things to build on in fourth straight loss

By Janie McCauley
SANTA CLARA Sure, after that long

cross-country flight, a tired coach Jim
Tomsula could still point to some improvements in yet another disappointing defeat.
His San Francisco 49ers were in it until
the very end this time on the heels of three
lopsided losses. Quarterback Colin
Kaepernick found a groove in the second
half and succeeded several times throwing
into traffic to go without an interception,
while Anquan Boldin went over 100 yards
receiving and Carlos Hyde nearly ran for
100 in a balanced offensive attack.
I cant say like my old self, but I thought
the team played well, Kaepernick said
afterward. Offensively I thought we came
out, we got a rhythm, we had players make
big plays for us.
Then, the Niners (1-4) lost it Sunday night
to the New York Giants on Eli Mannings 12yard touchdown pass to tight end Larry
Donnell with 21 seconds left. That sent San
Francisco to a fourth straight loss.
ROBERT DEUTSCH/USA TODAY SPORTS
Larry Donnell makes the game-winning TD

catch against NaVorro Bowman Sunday.
The records the record. Thats just the
fact and the reality of it, and thats not good
enough, Tomsula said Monday. Weve got
to change that.
There are still some glaring concerns,
most notably defensively after surrendering
525 yards of offense Sunday to the Giants.
That included 41 completed passes by
AOTW
Menlo seized the opportunity by totaling a .692 hitting
percentage amid the errorless set.
It was perfect, Cavella said. No errors at all. If we could
play like that all the time, it would be great.
More than Houghton executing her serve, however, was
her clutch defense. While she had played libero nearly
exclusively all her life, the 5-10 freshman hadnt played her
natural position for Menlo until the Notre Dame-SJ
match. She started the match at outside hitter, but after the
Knights dropped the opening set 25-20, she dawned the
libero jersey to start Game 2.
In Game 2, the Knights soldiered for a 25-22 win, then
breezed to a 25-14 win in Game 3. After Notre Dame-SJ
turned the tables with a 25-22 win in Game 4, however,
Houghtons back-row defense elevated to another level. She
finished the match with a team-high 21 digs. Its the 10th
time in 17 matches she has totaled double-figure digs this
season, including in each of the last seven matches.
Cavella noted it isnt just the number of digs Houghton
produces, but the consistent quality of her digs that makes
her an impact defensive player.
She had a couple key digs, and everything she gets up,
were able to run some sort of offense off of, Cavella said.
Houghton is following in the footsteps of her older sister
Jessica, a third-year varsity junior who currently plays as
Menlos primary libero. Last season, as a sophomore,
Jessica led the Knights with 12.8 digs per match. This year,
she currently leads the team with 11.3 digs per match; but
little sis is right behind, averaging 11.1 digs per set.
We love playing together because we work so well
Manning for 441 yards and three touchdowns while allowing New York 30 first
downs.
Not that linebacker NaVorro Bowman
sounded overly concerned after the game or
his teammates a day later even considering the 49ers have given up 127 points during this skid after opening the season with
an impressive 20-3 victory against the
Minnesota Vikings.
Over the past couple weeks I think weve
progressively gotten better as a unit.
Overall, weve got to continue to build on
this last performance, defensive lineman

heartbreaker there, man. We cant hang our

Thats what we signed up for.

together, Houghton said.

Their sisterly chemistry is just that sisterly. There is
no other explanation for why they work so well together.
With a two-year age difference, theyve never played at the
same level of club volleyball, despite each playing at
Vision since the introductory 12-year-old level.
Last year, it was Jessica who stepped into the outside hitter role when Stewart was lost for the season due to a knee
injury. And while the younger Houghton attended many of
Menlos games, she said she was surprised when Cavella
asked her to take over that role this season.
Despite her lack of experience, Sianna Houghton has
proven a capable attacker pairing opposite of Stewart,
notching double-figure kills four times this season. With
the prototypical terminator Stewart lining up at the left
side, however, the difference in Menlos offensive productivity is night-and-day.
[Stewart] is an amazing hitter and were all so proud of
how far shes come and what shes accomplished,
Houghton said.
Stewart was amazing in the win over Notre Dame-SJ,
totaling a match-high 23 kills, including six kills in the
final set. And for the Knights (3-1 in West Bay Athletic
League Foothill Division play, 19-5 overall), who have
persevered through all three of the five-set matches theyve
played this year, Game 5 provided a glimpse of dominance
amid an already strong season.
I think we were having a good game as a team,
Houghton said. And we were having fun.
The last time the 49ers and Ravens played

a game that counted, Baltimore beat San
Francisco 34-31 at the Super Bowl following the 2012 season in a matchup of former
49ers coach Jim Harbaugh and his big
brother, John. Now, John comes to the Bay
Area looking to beat the struggling 49ers
while his brother is long gone and thriving
at Michigan.
Tomsula hadnt thought that far ahead yet,
only just beginning his prep for Baltimore
after arriving home early Monday morning
and giving his players some time to sleep.
The way they lost made for a tougher trip.
Its one of those games you kind of feel
like you got kicked in the gut, left guard
Alex Boone said Monday. Offense did some
good things, did some bad things. I thought
we played well, though. Defense, they were
in there the whole game. We shouldnt have
left the game in their hands. Its one of
those tough games because you feel like you
did some really good things but you look
back and you remember you lost, which is
always hard.

Gov. Brown bans Redskins name at California schools

By Christopher Weber
LOS ANGELES Four California high

schools will be forced to change mascots after
Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation making the
state the first to bar public schools from using
the Redskins name for sports teams.
It was one of three sports-related bills
approved by Brown in the last week. He also
signed a measure that bans players and coaches
from using smokeless tobacco at professional
baseball parks and another that recognizes competitive cheerleading as a high school sport.
The mascot legislation signed Sunday will
prevent public schools from using a term that
American Indians regard as offensive. The
law, which goes into effect in 2017, is unique
to California.
Only four public schools still use the name,
including Tulare Union High south of Fresno.
Sarah Koligian, superintendent of Tulare Joint
Union High School District, said officials were
disappointed by Browns decision but will
change their team name.
We will adhere to the law as it is written,
Koligian said in a statement Monday. Together
with our Board of Trustees, school community
and our Tulare community we will seek their input
to determine our new mascot.
The Chowchilla Union High School District in
the Central Valley will seek

public comment on a new
mascot. Its lone high school,
with about 1,000 students,
has used a Redskins mascot
and logo since 1928 without
complaints, Superintendent
Ronald V. Seals said.
You dont pick a mascot
Jerry Brown that you dont respect, dignify, love, honor, all those
things, he said. Its just taking away something thats so near and dear to their hearts ... and
by people who dont even live here.
American Indian groups have protested the
names continued use amid their court fight with
the NFLs Washington Redskins. A federal panel
ruled last year that the teams trademark should be
canceled, but the team is challenging that decision in court. Washington owner Dan Snyder is
facing unprecedented opposition from those who
consider his teams name a racial slur.
This landmark legislation eliminating the Rword in California schools clearly demonstrates
that this issue is not going away, and that opposition to the Washington team on this issue is
only intensifying, said Oneida Indian Nation
Representative Ray Halbritter of the group
Change The Mascot, which supported the bill.
The NFL should act immediately to press the
team to change the name.

arena violates portions of the California
Environmental Quality Act, including severe traffic
congestion and compromised emergency access.
An environmental review of the project is expected
this fall.
The Warriors are hoping to open the new arena in
time for the 2018-19 NBA season.
The Warriors franchise formally acquired the 12-
California schools Gustine High in Merced

County, Calaveras High in Calaveras County and
Chowchilla Union High in Madera County also use
the name. Messages seeking comment from school
officials were not immediately returned Monday.
The measure Brown approved Sunday that bars
players and coaches from using or even having smokeless tobacco on the playing field at
ballparks expands on local bans passed by San
Francisco and Los Angeles. It wasnt immediately clear how the statewide ban would be enforced.
Public health officials who backed the proposal cited the prevalence of youths using smokeless
tobacco, even while cigarette use drops. They say
smokeless products contribute to oral, pancreatic
and esophageal cancers as well as other diseases.
Major League Baseball said it supported banning
smokeless tobacco when the proposal was introduced earlier this year, but the league didnt immediately comment on the statewide prohibition.
The governor also approved a bill last week
that requires the California Interscholastic
Federation to oversee competitive cheerleading
as it does other high school sports by 2017-18.
The formal recognition will give cheerleading
the respect and safety standards that athletes
deserve, said Democratic Assemblywoman
Lorena Gonzalez of San Diego, who introduced
the bill. At least eight other states treat competitive cheerleading as a sport, said Gonzalez, a former high school and college cheerleader.
acre site from Salesforce, a San Francisco-based cloud

computing company that in 2012 suspended development of a mega campus on the site.
Welts did not reveal how much the site was purchased for, but said the proposed investment into the
project is expected to be more than $1 billion.
Welts said the Warriors are the only sports team in
America doing this all with private funds, on private
land, with no public subsidy.
He said the project will generate $40 million for
transit improvements and add millions of dollars to
city coffers annually.
In addition to the arena and two office towers on the
site, the Warriors anticipate construction of cafes,
restaurants, and public plazas.

Ex-congressman
denounces DFS
By Tim Dahlberg
LAS VEGAS The U.S. congressman who drafted the 2006

legislation used by DraftKings and
FanDuel as proof of their legitimacy says is it sheer chutzpah for
the daily fantasy sites to pretend
the law makes them legal.
Former Rep. Jim Leach said lawmakers had no idea daily fantasy
sports would morph into todays
cauldron of daily betting. He said
his anti-gambling act was supposed to stop gambling on the
Internet, not promote it.
In an email exchange with The
Associated Press, Leach said the
carve out for fantasy sports in the
Unlawful Internet Gambling
Enforcement Act (UIGEA) does not
provide them with immunity
against other federal and state laws
that could limit their activities.
The only unique legal basis
provided fantasy sports by UIGEA
is its exemption from one law
enforcement mechanism where the
burden for compliance has been
placed on private sector financial
firms, Leach said. But it is sheer
chutzpah for a fantasy sports company to cite the law as a legal basis
for existing. Quite precisely,
UIGEA does not exempt fantasy
sports companies from any other
obligation to any other law.
Daily fantasy sites have long
claimed that the fantasy sports
provision in the 2006 anti-gambling law allows them to operate
freely in the 45 states that dont
have specific prohibitions on the
contests. Sports betting and other

The Terra Nova coaching staff
wasted little time in getting running back Reggie Auelua back into
the ow for the Tigers.
Auelua, who had to sit out the rst
four games of the season because of
an academic issue, was not eased
into his rst game. He carried the
ball the rst six plays of the game
for the Tigers as he had 15 carries
and 70 yards of rushing in the rst
half of what would become a 47-13
loss to Sacred Heart Prep.
Other than quarterback Joey
Pledger, who fell just shy of throwing for 300 yards, Auelua was Terra
Novas best offensive weapon. Not
only did he rush for 74 yards, getting only three carries after halftime, but he also caught six passes
for 60 more yards.

of daily fantasy sports is the same as

that of season long fantasy sports,
DraftKings says on its website.
But with millions of dollars at
stake daily in contests that are centered on sporting events, Leach
said there is no validity to the
industry argument that the contests
are a game of skill, not betting.
There is no credible way fantasy sports betting can be described
as not gambling, said Leach, an
Iowa Republican who sponsored
the legislation. Only a sophist
can make such a claim.
A scandal that erupted last week
over a $350,000 win by a
DraftKings employee on FanDuel
and the ubiquitous commercials
promising to make millionaires
out of casual fantasy players have
put a spotlight on an industry that
seemingly sprouted out of nowhere
to become a powerhouse in the
sports community. Major League

Baseball has an interest in
DraftKings, and NFL teams and
other leagues all have relationships with the two industry leaders.
Leach said he pushed the 2006
act, which led to the eventual shut
down of online poker and other
gambling sites, with the intention
of stopping online betting. But the
law doesnt offer a clear definition
of Internet gambling, referring
instead to existing federal and state
laws with differing interpretations.
The law, which has been used to
halt online poker, specifically prevents banks and other financial
institutions from processing funds
relating to illegal gambling.
Leach, who lost a re-election bid
in 2006 after 15 terms in office,
said there are still many laws and
regulations that can be applied to
the fantasy industry.

Instead, the defense coughed this

one up and its not just the New
York Giants game-winning drive at
the end, during which the 49ers prevent defense prevented them from
winning. It was the fact that receivers
continue to get wide open in the
49ers secondary. The zone defense
theyre using is not working
either because the players cant grasp
it or they dont trust it. Whatever the
case, it needs to be scrapped.
For the second week in a row, the
Raiders let a win slip through their
grasp. When a defense holds a
Peyton Manning offense to just
three eld goals, that is a game you
have to win. Unlike three weeks ago
when Derek Carr led the Raiders to
the come-from-behind win over
Baltimore, he could not muster the
same magic Sunday although the
Raiders certainly had their chances.
It all cant be put on Carr, who
hammered home the nal nail in the
cofn with his interception turned
pick-6 by Denvers Chris Harris Jr.
The Raiders might not have been in
a position to have to throw the ball
if kicker Sebastian Janikowski didnt inexplicably have one eld goal
blocked and missed a chip shot in
the fourth quarter.
For the Raiders, its all about the
growing pains of learning to win
in the NFL.
that makes them one of two WCAL

teams with an undefeated record.
When Riordan beat Sacred Heart
Prep 48-21 in its season opener, it
denitely raised some eyebrows.
Two Fridays ago, the Crusaders
opened WCAL play with a surprising 37-21 win over Mitty.
But nothing could prepare anyone
for what the Crusaders did to Serra.
Not only did Riordan snap a sevengame losing streak to the Padres,
they did it by piling up 600 yards of
offense. The Crusaders are spreading
out defenses and then attacking full
force with an assortment of players,
all who have the capability of scoring every time they touch the ball.
Over the last four seasons,
Riordan has won a total of two
WCAL games, going 2-26 in
league play. The Crusaders are 2-0
in the WCAL this season. The
Crusaders ve wins this season is
only two away from equaling the
number of games they won from
2012 to 2014 seven.

Well that was a couple of gutpunch losses for fans of the Bay
Areas NFL teams. Both the San
Francisco 49ers and Oakland
Raiders had games just waiting to
be won. Instead, both faltered.
For a half, Colin Kaepernick
looked like a bona de NFL quarterback as he led three drives of 80 or
more yards in the second half. For
one of the few times this season,
the offense put the 49ers in a position to win.

Dissolving stent for heart arteries passes first large test

By Marilynn Marchione
Now you see it, now you dont. A new type

of heart stent that works like dissolving
stitches, slowly going away after it has done
its job, passed its first major test in a large
study, doctors said Monday.
Abbott Vasculars dissolving Absorb stent
performed as well as a conventional stent in
the one-year study, but the fact it did not
prove superior led some experts to be wary.
Still, the results on this and other novel
stents currently in testing are fueling hope
for a new generation of these devices, used
on about 850,000 heart disease patients each
year in the United States alone.
Stents are tiny mesh cages that keep blood
vessels from reclogging after an arteryopening angioplasty procedure. The ones
available now in the U.S. are permanent
implants made of metal, usually coated with
a material that oozes medicine, but they
sometimes cause inflammation and other
problems years down the road.
The Absorb stent, already sold in Europe,

is made of a degradable material thats
designed to stay intact and
release medicine for a year,
then break down over the
next two years.
It holds the artery open
long enough for the artery to
heal, then completely goes
away, said one study leader, Dr.
Dean Kereiakes of Christ Heart
and
Vascular
Center
in
Cincinnati. It can return the
artery to its normal, natural structure and function.
The study involved about 2,000
patients with chest pain due to one or two
clogged arteries, and was aimed at winning
Food and Drug Administration approval to
sell Absorb in the U.S.
In the study, those treated with the dissolving stent fared as well as those given a conventional Abbott stent called Xience. After
one year, 6 percent to 7 percent of both
groups had died of a heart-related cause, had a
heart attack due to a problem with the treated
artery or needed a new artery-opening procedure.

The dissolving stent did not prove better,
though, on several measures, and the trends
were leaning in the opposite direction, noted
Dr. Robert A. Byrne of the Technical
University of Munich, who has been a paid
speaker for some rival stent and heart device
makers.
He wrote a commentary published online
with the study by the New England
Journal of Medicine. Results also
were discussed Monday at a meeting of heart specialists, the TCT
conference, in San Francisco.
Abbott sponsored and helped
designed the study, and several study leaders consult
for the company.
The idea of a dissolving stent is attractive,
but promise alone is
not enough to make us
un c o n di t i o n a l l y
embrace this technology, Byrne wrote. A longer
study underway now of 5,000 patients will

go a long way toward determining whether
this promise will become a reality.
Being as good as a stent currently sold is
all Absorb had to prove, said another study
leader, Dr. Gregg Stone of Columbia
University Medical Center.
The question is what does it take to get it
on the market? he said. No one expected
superiority in the first year. We expect the
real benefits of this technology to be when it
dissolves, over several years in terms of
lower complication rates, he said.
The study lasted only a year; participants
will be tracked longer to see how they fared
when the stent dissolved. Previous studies
showed the stent does dissolve as intended.
Phyllis Camp, a retired social worker from
Pine Valley, Mississippi, was the first person in the U.S. to get the dissolving stent
through the study in December 2012.
What appealed to me is the fact it would
allow my body to heal itself and I wouldnt
have anything metal left behind. It seemed
much more natural to support the artery till it
could heal itself, she said.

The 55-year-old Pleasant Hill, Oregon, resident and career pilot will return for this
weekends Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival
where his monstrous gourd will be on display.
Daletas, who also won in 2001 and 2003,
said if youre going to grow, you might as
well grow big.
I started growing things when I was a little kid and I love sports, I love to compete
and all I can figure is the two kind of met.
Why just grow something when you can
grow something you can compete with?
Daletas said, noting the competitive community of gargantuan gourd growers is a friendly one. We all talk and find out what works
for someone and you try it. I dont know if
theres a secret recipe, we all share and theres
just a lot of hard work that goes into it.
The dozen or so growers who entered Half
Moon Bays annual competition didnt break
the world record a 2,323-pound pumpkin
tipped the scale at a 2014 weigh-off in
Germany but most remained excited by
their seasonal accomplishments.
GROWERS
fields along State Route 92 and Highway 1,
John Muller said production appears to be
off and sizes are slightly down due to the
drought. But overall, most growers are still
sufficing and the Mullers planted 80,000
seeds this year alone.
For us on the coastside, the few growers
that we have, we did the best we could with
what water we have. I only had three shots of
water for the whole season, normally I have
four or five reservoirs or wells, John Muller
said.
John Hawkley, who set the local competitions record with his 2,058-pounder from
Napa in 2014, came in seventh place with a
1,447-pound pumpkin and noted the impacts
of the drought on Californias growers.
We tried to do some things a little bit differently and we let our lawns go brown. I
shortened my sprinklers so I try to keep the
water more localized on the plants. But
youve just got to go for it and Im on a well
so its a little bit easier for us, Hawkley said.
Were all watching next year. If we dont get
some rain this winter, well probably have
some decisions to make.
The specialty pumpkins that take between
four and five months to grow, require tireless
commitment with some of the largest gaining up to 50 pounds a day.
If youre going to do it, you have to go all
in. There was three months where I just
begged [my wife] for forgiveness because I
cant do anything but my pumpkins,
Hawkley said adding his largest pumpkin
succumbed to a crack last month and nearly
broke his heart.
Ron Root came in second place with his
1,806-pound pumpkin, a personal best for
the Citrus Heights resident. Growing on an
18-acre farm near Sacramento, Root said he
picked up the sport nearly 12 years ago to
keep him focused on something positive
after he lost one of his legs.

Root, who won the championship in
2010, took home $3,000 for earning both
second place and trucking in the largest
California-grown pumpkin to Mondays
competition.
Daletas and Root noted Californias
drought may have played a role in the overall
ability for passionate farmers to grow gargantuan this year.
We were too hot. We had 30 days over 100
[degrees] and when the plants get over 85
degrees, they kind of shut down. So we had to
mist a lot, Root said, later adding hes
happy with this years results. Its my personal best, so Im happy and to be first loser
to Steve Daletas is something to be proud of.
He used to be a world-record holder and is a
great guy, so I dont mind losing to Steve.
The growers of these heavyweight contenders are few and far between with many
entering multiple competitions, including
last Saturdays weigh-off near Gilroy.
Napa has spawned three of the last five
years winners in Half Moon Bay and growers reported some challenges this year,
particularly with the states first-ever conservation mandates.
California growers certainly have been
more impacted then the guys in Oregon and
Washington. Some of the Napa guys have
said theyve had to cut back on their water by

as much as 25 percent, so certainly there is
an impact, said event spokesman Tim
Beeman.
While no one took home the grand
$30,000 prize, which would have gone to a
gourd grower that broke the world record,
Beeman said the Safeway-sponsored event is
a premier championship that leads up to hundreds of thousands of visitors coming to this
weekends 45th annual Pumpkin Festival.
Half Moon Bay is really the Super Bowl
of weigh-offs. This ones been around for 42
years and its really considered by the growers and the growing community as the big
one, Beeman said. Its tradition, its the
charm of Half Moon Bay itself and its the
charm of being a part of the Pumpkin
Festival which is a beloved institution
throughout the Bay Area, throughout
California and throughout the country really.
The dry conditions have affected growers

differently depending upon their water
sources. Chris Gounalakis, owner and operator of the long-standing Aratas Farm in Half
Moon Bay, said hes been extremely fortunate to have access to water as the aquifer
feeding the streams and wells he shares
havent run dry.
Gounalakis said they took a chance growing a few extra pumpkins this year on the
8.5-acre farm and was able to help supplement others production by selling to different growers.
A lot of them dont have as much water
and depend on the rain. And depending on
the soil you have, a lot of us [on the coast]
have this adobe soil, if it gets wet in April,
May, June, the clay holds the water for a
long time. But we didnt have the luxury of

that because of the drought, especially here
on the coast, their crop was mediocre at
best, said Gounalakis, noting everyone is
praying for a wet winter. This trend with the
drought has been going on for about three or
four years, its nothing new, its getting progressively worse. And theyre talking about
El Nio, but I have a feeling its going to hit
Southern California and not us as much.
Gounalakis said hes worked on the Aratas
Farm, known as the first to sell pumpkins in
Half Moon Bay starting in 1932, for nearly
25 seasons.
Pumpkins cant handle heat of more than
100 degrees for very long and those in the
Central Valley have struggled more than
farmers in the cooler coastal climate of San
Mateo County. Still, the lack of rain and
heat has made watering pumpkins a delicate
balance, Gounalakis said. Even morning
dew can have a negative impact during an
especially warm day by discoloring the
pumpkins, and adding too much water can
cause them to bake when the weather heats
up.
A lot of people lost their crops, especial-
ly the big pumpkins, Gounalakis said, noting the harvest came sooner then some
expected. We plant end of April, mid-May,
thinking theyll be greenish in September,
orange in October. This year, everyone was
about a month early, the pumpkins were
starting to turn in July or August. So if you
didnt have a very strong pumpkin and didnt
water it enough, a lot wouldnt make it till
Halloween.
While Gounalakis and the Mullers also
farm different crops or raise other produce,
pumpkin season is critical to sustaining
them throughout the year.
Although they pray for enough rain to
break the dry spell, Gounalakis said the
drought has reinforced at least one thing
his sense of community.
Perhaps in a year or two, were going to
need help and whatever goes around comes
around and were here to help them out,
Gounalakis said. Everyone drops all the
competitiveness and it brings fellow people
that are in the same business, it brings them
together and working together. I think that
provides a much more prosperous future for
everyone.

Funding for gun violence research,

data collection remains minuscule
By Mike Stobbe
NEW YORK Amid the bloodbaths of

21st-century America, you might think that
there would be a lot of research into the
causes of gun violence, and which policies
work best against it.
You would be wrong.
Gun interests, wary of any possible limits on weaponry, have successfully lobbied
for limitations on government research and
funding, and private sources have not filled
the breach. So funding for basic gun violence research and data collection remains
minuscule the annual sum total for all
gun violence research projects appears to
be well under $5 million. A grant for a single study in areas like autism, cancer or HIV
can be more than twice that much.
There are public health students who want
to better understand rising gun-related suicide rates, recent explosions in firearm murders in many U.S. cities, and mass murders
like the one this month at an Oregon community college, where a lone gunman killed
nine people.
But many young researchers are staying
away from the field. Some believe theres
little hope Congress will do anything substantive to reduce gun violence, regardless
of what scientists find. And the work is
stressful many who study gun violence
report receiving angry emails and death
threats from believers in unrestricted gun
ownership.
Currently, guns rank among the top five
killers of people ages 1 to 64, according to
the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention.
Deaths from gunfire have been holding
steady at about 32,000 a year, with nearly
half of them occurring in the South. But
while the rates for gun murders and unintentional shooting deaths have been falling,
firearm suicides which account for 60
percent of gun deaths have been rising.
And nonfatal shooting injuries have
reached their highest level since 1995.
U.S. health researchers began to take a

hard look at gun violence about 30 years
ago, when firearm homicide rates were
climbing to what were described as epidemic proportions.
The line is: If its not a public health
issue, why are so many people dying? said
Philip Cook, a Duke University economist
who in the 1970s began studying the
impact of guns on society.
The CDC, the federal governments lead
agency for the detection and prevention of
health threats, took an early leading role in
fostering more research into violence. But
beginning in the 1980s, the National Rifle
Association tried to discredit CDC-funded
studies, accusing the agency and the
researchers the agency funded of incompetence and falsifying data.
NRA officials in Washington did not
respond to repeated AP requests for comment for this story.
In 1996, lawmakers sympathetic to the

NRA took the $2.6 million CDC had budgeted for firearm injury research and earmarked it for traumatic brain injury.
Congressional Republicans also included
language directing that no CDC injury
research funding could go to research that
might be used, in whole or in part, to advo-
cate or promote gun control.

Exactly what that language meant wasnt
clear. But CDC officials, aware of how vulnerable their injury research center was
becoming, ultimately adopted a conservative interpretation. The agency ceased to be
the main engine driving gun violence
research.
With the CDC largely out of the picture,
gun violence researchers turned to other
sources. But there wasnt much. The field
withered, with limited funding and not much
new blood. In the last decade, funding for
gun violence grew so tight that Dr. Garen
Wintemute, a longtime gun violence
researcher at the University of California at
Davis, spent more than $1 million of his
own money to keep different gun violence
research projects going.
Much of the research that has been done
has had to be relatively simple based on
small surveys or on what limited data has
been collected on guns and on gun-related
injuries and deaths.
As state and federal officials debate gun
laws or violence prevention programs, its
often not clear how well theyll work. To
answer such questions, researchers ideally
would like to know the exact number, type,
and distribution of guns, as well as who
owns them and where people got them.
Theyd like to know how and where theyre
stored, and to track use of gun safety courses.
Thats all key data for determining actual
risk and what actions best reduce risk.

EL NIO
already strong El Nio has a 95 percent
chance of lasting through the winter
before weakening in the spring.
This is as close as youre going to
get to a sure thing, said Bill Patzert, a
climatologist
at
NASAs
Jet
Propulsion Laboratory, calling this El
Nio too big to fail.
In the abstract, he said, El Nio
seems like our savior. But if floods
and mudslides develop, its not going
to look like the great wet hope charging across the landscape on a white
horse.
A strong El Nio arrives about once
every 20 years. Ocean temperatures
show this one to be the secondstrongest since such record keeping
began in 1950, said Eric Boldt, a meteorologist with the National Weather
Service. That would make it weaker
than the El Nio of 1997-98 but
stronger than the El Nio of 1982-83.
Both of those winters were known in
California for relentless rain, strong
winds and heavy snow. Waves pounded
the coast, mudslides rolled down
mountainsides and floods swamped
homes and claimed lives.
Storms blamed on El Nio in 199798 killed at least 17 people, wiped out
strawberry and artichoke crops, pushed
houses off hillside foundations and
washed out highways. Damage was
estimated at more than $500 million.
The 1982-83 tempests left 36 people dead, damaged or destroyed more
than 7,900 homes and businesses, and
caused $1.2 billion in losses, according to the weather service.
The NASA lab has been observing El
Nio and other ocean trends for
TAX
states rescinding over $10 million
that the city had dedicated to affordable
housing development, Mayor Jeff
Gee wrote in a statement.
He is refering to the states dissolution of redevelopment agencies, which
were California cities primary means
of building affordable housing.
It is up to all communities in the
region to help fight this crisis plaguing the Bay Area and other California
communities. The new affordable
housing fees and requirements the City
Council is considering, in combination with existing programs, reinforce
the citys continued commitment to
housing for all income levels, Gee
wrote.
One of the options the council will
consider is to charge residents who
decades. In 1992, JPL, in collaboration with France, launched the first in

a series of satellites capable of
observing the phenomena on a global
basis.
Still, El Nios can be unpredictable.
Some have produced little rain, and
some of the most damaging storms
have come in non-El Nio years.
In the last 65 years, there have been
just six strong El Nios and only two
produced
major
precipitation
statewide, according to the California
Department of Water Resources.
Weather models this year show a 60
percent chance of above-average rainfall in Southern California, but that
figure declines farther north, Boldt
said.
From the San Francisco Bay Area to
Sequoia National Park, theres a 50
percent chance of above-average rainfall. From Eureka to north of Reno,
Nevada, that estimate drops to 33 percent. Its likely to be drier in the
Pacific Northwest and the northern
Rocky Mountains.
California public agencies have
been warned to prepare for large
storms. Boldt said he cant count all
the meetings hes been to with emersupplement their incomes by using
short-term rental companies such as
Airbnb and similar companies pay a
transient-occupancy, or hotel, tax.
Hotels in Redwood City currently pay
a 12 percent tax for every room
booked.
The collected fee would go toward
constructing affordable housing.
The 21 Element Nexus Study is an
undertaking by San Mateo County and
14 cities that takes into account the
types of housing being constructed,
household income, affordability gap
and the link to new jobs created when
housing or offices come online.
Buyers and renters of new marketrate condominiums and apartments create new spending which can be linked
to new jobs, many of which pay low
wages, according to a draft Housing
Impact Fee Nexus Study.
When a city or county adopts a
development impact fee, it must establish a reasonable relationship between
THE DAILY JOURNAL
gency managers and local officials.

Thats been pushed hard, and people
understand this is going to potentially
be a bad winter for water issues, he
said.
State officials are watching weather
models and updating emergency plans,
said Kelly Huston, deputy director with
the Governors Office of Emergency
Services.
We worry that people wont take it
seriously because theyre so desperate
for water, Huston said. If it downpours heavily over a short period of
time, its going to be dangerous, not
just a welcome relief they perceive to
be helping the drought.
The risk of rain is heightened in
some areas by recent wildfires that
have stripped away the trees and other
vegetation that protect steep slopes
from erosion. Work is already being
done to prevent debris flows in
Northern Californias Lake and Amador
counties.
Heavy rain will bring some drought
relief, but it is not expected to erase
the states water deficit, particularly if
it doesnt rain or snow as much in
Northern California, home to the
states largest reservoirs. The Sierra
Nevada snowpack is normally the
backbone of the states water supply.
Theres also the chance that El Nio
will be followed by its sister, La Nina,
a different phenomenon that generally
brings cooler temperatures in the
Pacific and a drier winter.
El Nio can affect weather well
beyond the West Coast. The outlook
for winter generally favors belowaverage temperatures and above-median precipitation across the southern
U.S. and above-average temperatures
and below-median precipitation over
the northern U.S., according to the
report.
the development project and the fee
being charged. Studies undertaken to
demonstrate this connection are called
nexus studies.
On Oct. 26, the City Council will
review or consider taking action on
five affordable housing items, including a preview of downtown affordable
housing and park proposals on cityowned land, known as the Bradford lot;
adoption of affordable housing impact
fees; collection of Airbnb transient
occupancy tax to dedicate funds toward
affordable housing; initiation of
General Plan amendment to require
production of downtown affordable
units within the first phase of the
Downtown Precise Plan; and expansion of the accessory dwelling unit
zoning ordinance to allow second living units on properties that have a single-family residence.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) This is an ideal time for a
short getaway or vacation. You may feel restricted by

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Subrata Ghose
Case Number: 126176
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Subrata Ghose. A Petition for Probate has been filed by Avikk
S. Ghose in the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo. The Petition
for Probate requests that Avikk S. Ghose
be appointed as personal representative
to administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: NOV 10, 2015 at
9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
