Alleged cabbie kidnapping ringleader nabbed
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A man who orchestrated the kidnapping and
robbery of a cab driver by two others and later
picked them up from the scene is actually a
coworker of the victim, according to prosecu-
tors.
Raj Singh, 30, knew the taxi driver and
planned for two men to rob him at gunpoint
after he picked them up at a Menlo Park bar,
said Chief Deputy District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.
Singh, of San Jose, was arrested Nov. 4, a
day after the other two, and will appear in
court this afternoon to identify his court-
appointed attorney and enter a plea to charges
including kidnapping for the purpose of rob-
bery, robbery and carjacking.
If convicted, Singh faces a life sentence.

Sept. 9 blaze only hours after it erupted in

of previous convictions.
Lee’s arrest was the first case linked to the
deadly fire that destroyed the Glenview neigh-
LOCAL
Although Singh is not accused of personal-
ly participating in the Aug. 31 incident, he can
be considered equally responsible under the
aiding and abetting theory, Wagstaffe said.
Authorities say Rajinbder Kumar, 25, and
Balraj Singh, 48, both of Fremont, called the
cab driver’s cell phone several times to
arrange a late pickup at the British Bankers
Club. The driver later reported that they
directed him to Daly City but first stopped at a
Redwood City apartment complex where they
went inside momentarily. Back in the cab, the
driver said he was told to use surface streets in
Millbrae to reach San Bruno.
At one point, one of the passengers report-
edly drew a handgun and ordered the driver to
the back seat where he was held with the
weapon to his head while the other passenger
drove the cab.
After the back seat passenger took the cab

but those involve alleged fraud to obtain aid,

members charged with security of the site.
According to the San Mateo County District
Attorney’s Office, a San Bruno police officer
and a gang enforcement officer spotted Lee
driving a motorcycle with a female passenger
near the edge of the fire scene. Lee allegedly
told the officers he was riding around, looking
at the remains, and when asked to dismount
the bike, instead sped away. One officer
grabbed Lee’s jacket and was reportedly

him not to move for 15 minutes and left, the
driver reported.
The driver later reported hearing the man
walk to another car and drive off.
Raj Singh is the man who picked them up
and who set up the crime, Wagstaffe said.
The three defendants were found by tracing
the calls made to the driver’s cell phone and
between each other, according to Wagstaffe.
“This is a case that is built on cell phone
records,” he said.
All three men are being held without bail.
Although Raj Singh was arrested and charged
separately, prosecutors anticipate joining the
cases at a later point.

SAN DIEGO — They can call it
a nightmare. A cruise from hell.
Even a Spamcation.
Whatever they label it, the gruel-
ing three-day journey of the crip-
pled Carnival Splendor is over, and
the nearly 4,500 passengers and
crew members can forget about the
backed-up toilets, darkened, stuffy
cabins and the canned meat.
“I love being back on land,” said
passenger Ken King, 42, of Los
Angeles.
As the ship docked on Thursday,
people who had gathered on the
decks and about 100 waiting
onshore cheered loudly. Along the
harbor, tourists, joggers and fisher-
men stopped to snap photos.

was the clear frontrunner in the
crowded 10-candidate field, with
35 percent of the vote. Quan was a
distant second, with only 24 per-
cent.
But because Perata didn’t reach
the 50 percent threshold needed for
an outright victory, Oakland’s new
ranked-choice voting system came
into play, allowing residents to
mark their top three choices.
The Alameda County Registrar
of Voters then ran a computer algo-
rithm in which the second-choice
selection of voters whose first votes
were for the lower-ranked finishers
were distributed to the top remain-
ing candidates until one candidate
surpassed 50 percent.
When that process was complet-
ed late Tuesday, Quan came out on
top with 50.98 percent to Perata’s
49.02 percent — a difference of
2,058 votes.

ing lot of the Eastmont Mall in East

2 p.m. on Oct. 30 when two men
approached the dog’s 80-year-old
owner as she was walking near
Encinal Avenue and Fountain
Street, Alameda police Lt. Sean
Lynch said.
One man simulated a gun and
demanded the woman’s purse and
the dog. She refused to hand them
over, so one suspect grabbed Deuce
as the other wrested the purse from
her.
Christopher Perkins, 19, was
arrested Nov. 4 and initially said he
sold the dog to someone in the
Stockton area, but later changed his
story, saying he released or gave
away the dog in the area of Holiday
Park in Stockton on the evening of
Nov. 2, Lynch said.
Investigators believe Perkins,
who has addresses in both Oakland
and Stockton, might have gotten rid
of the dog after he “became aware
of the press coverage” of the case,
Lynch said.

The job coach position was the first job Sheri held and she
flourished. The day-to-day responsibilities gave her a new purpose.
Her interactions with her clients help give her a new perspective and
much-needed confidence.
“I found working at Caminar has helped my mental well being” Sheri
said. “I have work that allows me to be honest about my life and my past
experiences. I am better, and my pain has become more manageable.”
Sheri provides job coaching to four clients and also gives workshops
at Caminar’s Redwood House, a mental health crisis residential
program. “I tell them my story and how I was so depressed. I never
thought I’d be where I am today. The injury made me hopeless. The
pain was so intense. The pain and depression took me over until I
found Caminar. Then I started getting out of the house and started
working with people who understood.”
To Sheri’s clients, she not only provides practical support in their
professional life, but emotional support because of her story. Sheri
knows firsthand the misleading stigma people with disabilities face.
“Without the dedicated Caminar staff a lot of people with mental
illness would still be sitting on the couch just dreaming about
working and leading self-sufficient lives.”
“They know I’ve lived it,” Sheri said. “The services are tailored
to give clients the support they really need, because they know we
understand.” Instead of being “stigmatized” or different, the acceptance
and mutual understanding is communicated and built. They know I am

Bay Bridge standoff halts traffic Bullet train leaders
By Marcus Wohlsen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — A police stand-
off with an armed man who reported
having explosives in his vehicle briefly
halted traffic on Northern California’s
busiest bridge during Thursday’s morn-
ing commute.
Craig Carlos-Valentino, described by
authorities as mentally unstable, called

a special session of the Legislature to

The announcement comes a day after
the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s

grown to $25.4 billion through June

under ethics probe
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — California’s
ethics enforcement agency is inves-
tigating several leaders of the state’s
High-Speed Rail Authority who
took overseas trips paid for by for-
eign governments seeking contracts
to build the proposed $43 billion bullet
train system.
The Fair Political Practices Commission said it launched the
probe after the Los Angeles Times reported that authority
board members took tours of train systems in Europe last year,
but didn’t disclose who paid for the trips.
The commission posted on its website letters informing
authority chairman Curt Pringle and board members Quentin
Kopp, Lynn Schenk, Tom Umberg, as well as former executive
director Medhi Morshed, that they were the focus of an
inquiry into whether they violated rules limiting the receipt of
gifts.
Rail officials have defended the trips as a way to gain valu-
able information on high-speed rail systems at no cost to state
taxpayers.
The authority has said that foreign governments donated the
trips to the agency, which then assigned travel to those coun-
tries to board members and staff. Because of that, the author-
ity said most board members didn’t have to disclose the trav-
el on annual reports of gifts received.
The authority’s deputy executive director, Jeffrey Barker,
said the agency was going back to account for past foreign
travel and will be looking into whether the staff complied with
state ethics laws.
“We are fully committed to transparency and to correcting
the situation,” Barker said Thursday.
He couldn’t say when reports detailing the sources, costs
and itineraries of the trips will be released because it would
take time to gather the information.
Morshed, who traveled to Spain and Germany, told the
Times that any mistakes in accounting for the trips were unin-
tentional. He said limited staff and budget over the years con-
tributed to the problems.

Protest forces closure of Fruitvale BART station
OAKLAND — A large group of protesters has prompted the
closure of a Bay Area Rapid Transit Station in Oakland.
BART spokesman Linton Johnson says trains are running
through the Fruitvale station but not stopping. A bus bridge
has been set up for passengers affected by the closure.
The closing of the station comes as demonstrators gathered
to protest the fatal shooting of a man by Oakland police
Monday night.
Television live shots show about 100 protesters gathered
outside the station, while police monitor the crowd.
Police say the shooting of Derrick Jones was the third offi-
cer-involved fatal shooting in Oakland this year.
It happened as emotions remain raw just days after 152 peo-
ple were arrested protesting the two-year prison sentence
given last week to a former transit officer who fatally shot an
unarmed man on an Oakland train station platform.
PG&E executive in SmartMeter flap resigns
SAN FRANCISCO — A Pacific Gas & Electric Co. execu-
tive has resigned after acknowledging he used a false name to
try to join an online group opposed to the utility’s
SmartMeters.
PG&E officials say William Devereaux tendered his resig-
nation on Wednesday. Devereaux was senior director of the
SmartMeter program.
He had been suspended by the utility after he tried last week
to join a group concerned about the health effects of the wire-
less electricity and gas SmartMeters using the name “Ralph.”
He was caught when his real name appeared next to his e-mail
address.
Devereaux has also acknowledged monitoring other online
groups of PG&E critics for several months. He has said his use
of a fake name last week was wrong, but he was trying to bet-
ter understand the concerns of SmartMeter opponents.
Autopsy: Man killed by police not shot in back
OAKLAND — An independent autopsy has revealed that an
unarmed man whom police shot and killed during a chase suf-
fered multiple gunshot wounds — all to the front of his body.
The Oakland Tribune reports that the autopsy by the
Alameda County Coroner’s Office shows 37-year-old Derrick
Jones of Oakland was not shot in the back — as had been
rumored by family and friends.
Police say two officers shot and killed Jones late Monday
after he fled on foot and appeared to be reaching toward his
waistband. Officers were responding to reports of a domestic
dispute between Jones and a woman.
Civil rights attorney John Burris says he has interviewed at
least one witness to the shooting who disputes the police alle-
gations that Jones was reaching for his waistband.

Deficit panel pushes Dems,GOP
By Andrew Taylor
and Charles Babington
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The leaders of
the deficit commission are baldly
calling out the budget myths of both
political parties, challenging law-
makers to engage in the “adult con-
versation” they say they want.
Their plan — mixing painful cuts
to Social Security and Medicare
with big tax increases — has no
chance of enactment as written, cer-
tainly not as a whole. But the com-
mission’s high profile will make it
harder for Republicans and
Democrats to simply keep reciting
their tax and spending talking points
without acknowledging the real sac-
rifices that progress against govern-
ment deficits would demand.
It’s time for both conservatives
and liberals to “put up or shut up,”

als and urged politicians to show

“We want this to be done in a mat-

deal, insisting that trade chiefs will
keep working to get a pact that will
survive political tests in both nations.
Lee called the hang-ups merely tech-
nical, and both leaders said allowing
extra time was the smart way to deal
with obstacles over U.S. beef and
auto exports. Yet the upshot was
underwhelming: a determined call
for more negotiation.
As the pleasantries of the G-20
economic summit of world leaders
began, Obama was still defending a
decision that was not his: the Federal
Reserve’s move to flood $600 billion
of cash into the sluggish American
economy to drive down interest rates,
spur lending and boost spending.

SEOUL, South Korea — Leaders of the
world’s 20 biggest economies faced the
urgent task at their summit Friday of resolv-
ing a U.S.-China currency dispute that has
raised the specter of a global trade war.
But a draft of the joint statement to be
issued at the end of the Group of 20 summit
— obtained by the Associated Press —
indicates that huge differences remain on
how to deal with U.S. accusations that
China deliberately undervalues its currency
to gain a trade advantage. Similar accusa-
tions are being made against the United
States.
After overnight negotiations by aides that
lasted until daybreak, President Barack

leaders filed somberly into closed-door

breakthrough, ending the months of wrangling

Maliki of not fulfilling promises and have
warned they could pull out if they are not met.
At a press conference after the walkout, a
lawmaker from the Sunni-backed Iraqiya bloc,
Haider al-Mulla, did not answer when asked
whether the bloc would participate in the gov-
ernment. Instead, he said Iraqiya would seek
“explanations from al-Maliki and State of Law
over their broken commitments.”

Grand plan can spark conversation
A
t first glance, a proposal
to place 40-story towers
in the center of San
Mateo is shocking on many differ-
ent levels. Nothing like it has ever
been proposed for the city and it
seems to run counter to the com-
munity values established by two
voter-approved initiatives in the last
few decades — most recently
Measure P in 2004.
The plan designed by local archi-
tect Dan Ionescu is certainly on a
grand scale. It sits on 45 acres
where the Hillsdale Shopping
Center now is and includes 1,000
housing units, a 900-room hotel,
500,000 square feet of office space,
2 million square feet of retail and
commercial space with parking for
10,000 cars and 12 acres of park
space.
It’s definitely out there and, as a
conversation starter, the plan has
certainly done its job.
The idea, according to Ionescu,
is to give the city a presence in
Silicon Valley and remove itself
from the problem of parking lots
that plagues the Peninsula. By
building up, there is to be room for
more open space with walking in

Indeed, several other letters have

according to Ionescu.
The plan, however, has several
significant issues. The primary one
is that it is proposed where the
shopping center is now and the
Hillsdale ownership has expressed
no public interest in any of it and
have their own plans for the future.
In addition, the shopping center

compromise safety. There are some
fundamental facts that must be part
of this discussion: Pico Boulevard
is an unimproved, privately owned
road leased by SamTrans. It is the
only entrance and exit from the
SamTrans bus facility in San
Carlos; hundreds of buses travel on
Pico Boulevard in a single day. Pico
Boulevard is also the principal loca-
tion for parking for the bus opera-
tors and mechanics who work at the
base, which means additional traffic
throughout the day. After several
frightening near-collisions between
buses and cyclists and automobile
traffic, SamTrans safety officials
closed the gate at the east end,
effectively prohibiting through traf-
fic on Pico. At the same time, a pre-
liminary safety review was under-
taken. The preliminary review indi-
cates that Pico Boulevard does not
meet the minimum state standards
for a roadway serving through traf-
fic. It lacks appropriate signage,
including speed limit signs, lacks
adequate road width, lacks adequate
lighting, has no marked bike lane
and has no roadway markings to
direct traffic in a safe and effective
manner. The review has been post-

Cisco sinks market
By Stephen Bernard
1,399.10 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Stocks tumbled
Thursday after a disappointing outlook
from Cisco Systems Inc. rattled a market
already on edge as an economic summit
of world leaders got under way in South
Korea.
Global leaders were sharply divided
over currency and trade policies heading
in to the Group of 20 summit meeting in
Korea, and a sense of pessimism was
hanging over the start of the meeting of
top officials from rich and emerging
economies.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
73.94, or 0.7 percent, to close at
11,283.10, after trading down as much
as 126 earlier in the day. The index fell
for three out of the last four sessions.
Cisco disappointed investors when it
cut its sales forecast for a second quarter
in a row, sending its shares down 16.2
percent to $20.52. That dragged down
shares of other technology stocks and
other Dow components. Hewlett-
Packard Co. fell 2.4 percent, while IBM
Corp. fell 0.8 percent.
“Cisco is clearly a tech benchmark,”
said Philip Dow, director of equity strat-
egy at RBC Wealth Management. “With
a second disappointment in a row, peo-
ple are questioning if their business
model is broken.”
The computer network equipment
maker said its revenue will rise by less
than half of what analysts had predicted
for its November-through-January quar-
Mortgage rates fall
to fresh lows this week
NEW YORK — Rates on fixed mort-
gages dropped to their lowest levels in
decades this week after the Federal
Reserve unveiled a massive bond-buying
program to help spur economic growth.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said
Tuesday the average rate for 30-year
fixed loans fell to 4.17 percent from 4.24
percent last week. That’s the lowest on
Wall Street
ter. There are worries that smaller com-
petitors are cutting into Cisco’s market
share.
Technology shares have been among
the best performing in recent months
with more companies investing in new
technology coming out of the recession.
Cisco’s cautious forecast puts a damper
on expectations for broader growth in
the sector in the coming quarters.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell
5.17, or 0.4 percent, to 1,213.54. The
Nasdaq composite dropped 23.26, or 0.9
percent, to 2,555.52.
Volume was a bit lighter than in recent
days because of the Veterans’ Day holi-
day. Bond trading is closed for the holi-
day.
Investors were cautious as global lead-
ers began an economic summit in South
Korea, where the U.S. has received a
cool reaction from other nations over its
economic stimulus plan. China and
Germany were critical of the U.S. last
week after the Federal Reserve
announced a bond-buying program that
effectively cut the value of the dollar. In
turn, the U.S. has criticized China for
holding its currency artificially low.
A weak currency helps a country’s
exports because they become cheaper to
sell overseas. That can lead to big trade
imbalances and protectionist reactions
from government’s trying to keep their
own countries’ goods from being priced
out of the world market.

Shortfall an
omen for rest
of tech world
By Jordan Robertson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — A gloomy out-
look from Cisco Systems Inc. is shaking
some investors’ faith in the strength of
the technology industry’s recovery.
Corporations have loosened their
purse strings after slashing their budgets.
Some governments have poured money
into stimulus-fueled technology proj-
ects. Consumers are starting to snap up
cell phones and gadgets again after
backing off in the past few quarters.
But Cisco revealed severe slowdowns
in spending by state and local govern-
ments in the U.S. and by governments in
Japan and Europe. That has investors
worried that other companies will show
similar trends when they report their
next earnings.
Cisco is a soothsayer of sorts for the
technology world because it is the world’s
No. 1 maker of computer networking
equipment, and its quarterly results lag
others’ by a month, meaning it includes
an extra month of sales that most other
companies haven’t reported yet.

Holiday shopping battle begins

NEW YORK — From free shipping from

The early competition to break through
shoppers’ caution about spending promises
savings for those willing to buy amid an econ-
omy that’s still worrying many. It also prom-
ises convenience. Retailers are offering deals
anytime, anywhere their customers want,
through websites, smart phones and
Facebook.
Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving
that typically kicks off holiday shopping, is not
only being marketed as “Black Friday week,”
but for a growing number of stores, “Black
Friday month.”
As for Thanksgiving, some retailers like
Sears and Gap’s Old Navy hope shoppers

Companies yank cord on residential phone books
By Michael Felberbaum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RICHMOND, Va. — What’s black and
white and read all over? Not the white pages,
which is why regulators have begun granting
telecommunications companies the go-
ahead to stop mass-printing residential
phone books, a musty fixture of Americans’
kitchen counters, refrigerator tops and junk
drawers.
In the past month alone, New York,
Florida and Pennsylvania approved Verizon
Communications Inc.’s request to quit dis-

busiest days of the year online.
“Everything is faster and sooner,” said Dan
Grandpre, editor-in-chief of Dealnews.com,
which opened an office in Dublin, Ireland, a
few months ago to monitor the frenetic pace
of offers, particularly during the holidays.
Dealnews is based in Huntsville, Ala.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is clearly going for the
jugular in the holiday retailing fight. It
announced Thursday that it will offer free
shipping on nearly 60,000 online items —
with no minimum purchase requirement. The
offer, which includes most electronics, jewel-
ry and toys, will run through Dec. 20. Return
shipping is also free, or items can be returned
to a local store.
Wal-Mart’s free offer comes on top of simi-
larly aggressive free shipping programs from
Target and J.C. Penney. Wal-Mart’s deal adds
to the discounter’s Site to Store program,
which lets customers buy an item online and
tributing residential white pages. Residents
in Virginia have until Nov. 19 to provide
comments on a similar request pending with
state regulators.
Telephone companies argue that most con-
sumers now check the Internet rather than
flip through pages when they want to reach
out and touch someone.
“Anybody who doesn’t have access to
some kind of online way to look things up
now is probably too old to be able to read the
print in the white pages anyway,” joked
Robert Thompson, a pop culture professor at
Syracuse University.
have it shipped free to their local Walmart
store for pickup.
Walmart.com is even testing a service at
nearly 800 stores that lets customers see
inventory and purchase products right from
home. The online orders are usually ready to
be picked up at a store within four hours.
That concept isn’t new, but many stores are
joining Walmart in trying to speed up the turn-
around time, says Noam Paransky, retail
strategist at Kurt Salmon Associates.
“Retailers are trying to be in front of cus-
tomers 24/7,” Paransky said. With the wider
adoption of smart phones, “it’s exploding this
year.”
Facebook.com recently launched its Deals
program, teaming up with a number of stores
including Penney and Gap Inc. The offering
allows shoppers to “check in” using smart
phones to these shops and reap rewards or dis-
counts.
The intense marketing is happening in a
season in which shoppers are expected to
spend only a little more than last year.
Unemployment is still stuck close to 10 per-
cent, and consumer confidence has been ane-
mic for months and months.
Phone companies note that eliminating
residential white pages would reduce envi-
ronmental impact by using less paper and
ink. It also can’t hurt their bottom lines to
cut out the cost of a service that rarely gets
used and generates little beyond nostalgia.
The first telephone directory was issued in
February 1878 — a single page that covered
50 customers in New Haven, Conn. That
sheet grew into a book that became virtually
a household appliance, listing numbers for
neighbors, friends and colleagues, not to
mention countless potential victims of prank
calls.

Disney probing leak of
4Q results behind share dip
LOS ANGELES — The Walt Disney Co.
said Thursday it is investigating the early
release of its fourth-quarter earnings, which
showed an unexpected decline, after shares fell
5 percent in unusually heavy trading about half
an hour before a press release was scheduled to
go out. The incident follows the guilty plea two
months ago of a Disney employee who was try-
ing to sell the early release of quarterly results.
Trading was in a tight range until about 3:29
p.m. Eastern time on Thursday, when the share
price plunged $1.81, or 4.9 percent, to $35.39
by 3:33 p.m., before popping back up slightly.
The company press release then went out at
3:44 p.m.,16 minutes earlier than normal.
Trading volume by the end of the day was more
than three times the average at 37.7 million
shares.
“We are aware that information regarding our
fourth-quarter earnings became available ahead
of its formal release and we are investigating
how this occurred,” Disney’s senior vice presi-
dent of investor relations, Lowell Singer, told
analysts on a conference call. “We do regret any
confusion caused by this incident.”

Financial terms were not disclosed.
Shares of Level 3, which provides wholesale

or 12.9 percent, to $1.19 in morning trading.
In addition to supporting Netflix for stream-
ing movies and TV shows, Level 3 said it will

more than 20,000 titles. Level 3 is based in

Bulldogs need to overcome injury bug

By Josh Koehn
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
From coach Michelle Warner on down to
her players, the College of San Mateo
women’s basketball program must be won-
dering what it did to anger the basketball
gods.
Warner, in her 14th year at the helm, is still
struggling with a lingering knee injury from
taking part in a practice a few years ago,
while seven of her players have also been on
the mend recently. It would be one thing if the
season was in full swing, but all of the play-
ers’ injuries come before the Bulldogs even
take the court for their second game of the
season 7 p.m. tonight against visiting De
Anza College.
CSM lost its season opener last Friday to
visiting Monterey Peninsula College 67-48.
Using some tried and true John Wooden
maxims — such as the indelible “be fast but
don’t hurry” — is just one part of what Warner
tries to impart to her youthful squad, which
will be without its floor general of the past two
season, Erica Hayes, who transferred to Dixie
State.
“The freshmen are learning about the pace
of the game, but also about nutrition, getting
the right amount of sleep,” Warner said.
The coach didn’t say if she went as far as
Wooden to teach her players how to put on
their socks and tie their shoes, but getting a
revamped squad to fill the sneakers of
Hayes and her fellow sophomore team lead-
ers of a year ago, Shakara Haynes and
Janisa Jones, will be a learning process.
Last season, CSM finished 15-11 and 5-5 in
the Coast Conference North Division, good
for fourth place.
“It’s just a different squad,” Warner said of
this year’s team. “They’re pretty even talent-

Pac-10 remains in rebuilding mode after losing stars

By Beth Harris
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — The talent
drain began two years ago and the
Pac-10 is still in recovery mode.
After sending six teams to the
NCAA tournament for three straight
years, the league was nearly invisi-
ble last March with only two schools
represented — its fewest since 1988.
And regaining its status as one of
the nation’s elite conferences this
season seems doubtful.
The cause of the Pac-10’s linger-
ing woes? The NBA draft. In 2008
and ’09, the league produced 13
first-round picks and eight lottery
selections — more than any other
conference. Fourteen of those play-
ers had eligibility remaining.
Among the underclassmen who
bailed early were Kevin Love and
Russell Westbrook of UCLA, Brook
and Robin Lopez of Stanford, O.J.
Mayo and DeMar DeRozan of USC,
James Harden and Jeff Pendergraph
of Arizona State, and Arizona’s
Jerryd Bayless.
Those departures combined with
a lack of blue chip recruits plunged
the Pac-10 into mediocrity.
The league had a team in the final
AP Top 25 rankings every year since
1986 until last season. It flopped
during nonconference play, going 2-
12 against ranked opponents with
several ugly losses. None of the
teams finished the season ranked
among the top 20 in the RPI, either.
“Last year our league was much bet-
ter than how we were perceived, but
because of the lack of wins in the non-
conference and maybe a lack of sched-
uling (tough games) in the nonconfer-
ence, we took a beating as a group of
teams that didn’t get it done,” second-
year USC coach Kevin O’Neill said.
The Pac-10 will try to notch some
notable wins this season, with such
Top 25 teams as No. 1 Duke, Kansas
State, Kansas, Gonzaga, Missouri,
Baylor, Butler, Tennessee and BYU
among its nonconference opponents.
O’Neill believes beating ranked
teams early will improve the Pac-
10’s national standing.
“Your reputation will be shaped
by what you do there because once
you get into conference you just
play each other,” he said.
Only Washington is ranked in
AP’s Top 25 preseason poll at No.
18, although UCLA and Arizona
were among others receiving votes.
The Huskies made it to the final 16
of the NCAA tournament. They
return four starters and are picked to
win the league title this season. After
that, it’s a scramble, with the Arizona
schools and UCLA in contention.
The bulk of Pac-10 rosters are
filled by West Coast players, and
O’Neill pointed out the high school
talent level dipped the last two
years. Fewer players from the East
Coast venture west, “so it’s impor-
tant for us to get the best players in
our area,” he said.

49ers defense still trying to turn it around

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA — Expected to
lift the San Francisco 49ers into the
playoffs for the first time in eight
years, the team’s inconsistent
defense has a new sense of commit-
ment to get it done entering the sec-
ond half of the season.
The first half was a disappoint-
ment for defensive coordinator Greg
Manusky and his players, who had
their ups and downs after returning
all 11 starters from a unit that ranked
15th in the NFL last year.
But with the NFC West remaining
so weak, there may still be time to
rise to the occasion for a defense that
began the season starting five Pro
Bowlers.
“This is where you make your
money if you want to do anything,”
Manusky said Thursday. “You have
to win in December and November,
so that’s what we’ve got to do.”
After an 0-5 start during which
San Francisco failed to distinguish
itself defensively, that unit began
playing winning football before the
team’s recent bye week as the 49ers
won two of their last three games.
San Francisco allowed a season-low
179 yards and nine points to Oakland
in a Week 6 victory. Struggling to
force turnovers most of the year, the
49ers had two key takeaways that led
to a 24-16 victory over Denver in their
Oct. 31 game in London.
Those are signs the defense finally
is getting it right after a series of
substandard performances earlier in
the year, when the 49ers allowed 87
points in their first three games and
352 yards or more five times. San
Francisco finished fourth in the NFL
last year in fewest points allowed
and gave up more than 357 yards in
a game five times all season.
“If you watch the tape, you know
there’s a lot of guys on this defense
playing pretty well,” right end Justin
Smith said. “We’ve just had some
breakdowns here and there, and you
know, it’s total team defense. We’ve

The scoring load will likely fall
on the shoulders of sophomore
post player Patricia Malaspina, a
sophomore out of Burlingame
High School. Sarah Balling will
pair with Malaspina in the front-
court to provide additional size
and athleticism. Warner said
Balling will likely be the team’s
second option on offense, while
Denise Won will also contribute.
Unfortunately for the Bulldogs,
Won, a 6-foot-1 sophomore, is
currently nursing a high ankle
sprain, which will likely keep her
out for an undetermined part of
the preseason.
Sophomore guards Jackie Orje
and Alisa Rhodes and second-year
forward Kendra Thomas were all
selected as captains to start the
year, and their influence will be
crucial to the success of the club,
which features just two other
sophomores and 10 freshmen.
Freshmen Franchesca Roth
(Westmoor High), Vanessa
Castillo (South San Francisco)
and Nicole McDonald (Aragon)
could help stretch the floor with
strong perimeter shooting,
Warner said, while Kimmie
Fung (Mercy S.F.) has proven so
far to be versatile in both for-
ward spots and could even slide
into a shooting guard role.
Fellow newcomers Jenny

Lauren Ward (Half Moon Bay)
also have a good scoring touch,
Warner said.
The question is: who will step

Warner said ideally she would
like to bring players into games in
waves of five to keep the energy
level high as well as keep other
teams off-kilter. But with the accu-
mulation of injuries to date, it will
be difficult to know who plays
well with one another, she said.
Making for a greater sense of
urgency, Warner expects the Coast
Conference to be even more chal-
lenging than it usually is.
Along with perennial powers
Foothill and City College of San
Francisco, other teams in confer-
ence are expected to provide
challenges through coaching
changes and incoming talent.

same time, we know as an offense, if
we execute and do what we can do,
there’s not a whole lot they can do to

Cue opposing quarterback: “I think in

similar, because we both have so many
weapons, but we’re different in the way
that we utilize our weapons and the
coaching philosophy. I think it’s going to

Bragging rights, while sweet, are
unlikely to change that. Of course, this
season’s title game could be just round

LITKE
Continued from page 12
Coach Gene Chizik angrily pushed back at
suggestions that Auburn gave Newton any-
thing beyond a scholarship — “pure garbage,”
he labeled them — and there’s no reason so
far not to believe him. Auburn athletic direc-
tor Jay Jacobs called it “sad and unfortunate,”
and there’s no arguing with that, no matter
what happens from here on.
Newton is, by all accounts, a poised, gre-
garious kid who is making the most of his sec-
ond chance. He got stalled in the quarterback
queue behind Tim Tebow at Florida, then got
caught in possession of a stolen laptop his
freshman year. The following spring, accord-
ing to another report, he was facing possible
cheating three times.
Newton said previously he left Florida and
enrolled in Blinn Junior College, where he led
the team to a national title in 2009, because
Tebow was coming back for his senior year.
Either way, he took responsibility for those
problems, getting his grades up and taking
part in a pretrial program that resulted in the
theft charges being dropped.
Newton was right to insist those problems
were in the past.
“I’m not going to entertain something that
took place not three months, not six months,
not a year but two years ago,” he said Tuesday,
when asked about the cheating allegations.
“I’m not going to sit up here and say anything
about it, whether I did or did not do it, because
I don’t want to beat a dead horse talking about
it.”
Newton spoke calmly, even smiling occa-
Tuesday night, ESPN.com reported that both
Newton and his father, Cecil, told Mississippi
State recruiters in separate phone calls about
what sounded like a pay-for-play scheme. The
details, including Newton telling one of them
that his father selected Auburn for him
because “the money was too much,” have
been in the hands of SEC investigators for
months.
The Newtons have denied any wrongdoing
in the recruitment process. And a source told
the Associated Press that an internal review by
Auburn officials of phone and e-mail records
showed no contact with Kenny Rogers, iden-
tified by ESPN.com as the former Mississippi
State player who initiated the pay-for-play
talks.
“This is a character assassination attempt,”
Cecil Newton said earlier Tuesday on a radio
show. “Who is going to profit and why are
If that’s true, the Newtons might be the only
party in this mess who won’t turn a profit —
at least not until Cam Newton decides when to
make himself eligible for the NFL draft.
In the meantime, he’s vaulted himself to the
top of the Heisman Trophy race and almost
single-handedly nudged the Tigers into the
national championship picture. And if Newton
handles the distractions as capably going for-
ward — beginning Saturday against Georgia
— as he has so far, well, few people will
remember, let alone care, how Auburn got
there.
That was the lesson of Reggie Bush’s stay
at USC and what goes on to some degree or
other at just about every school that’s running
a football factory. Constructing a minor-
league system for the NFL has turned out to
be a profitable sideline, even if it sometimes
means having to hold your nose.

Woods in mix after opening round Stroud edges Fowler, others
By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MELBOURNE, Australia — Sergio Garcia
put himself into the mix Friday at the Australian
Masters with his lowest score of the year, a 6-
under 65 that left him in range of the leaders
going into the weekend.
The smile returned to the Spaniard’s face on a
blustery day at Victoria Golf Club, the kind of
conditions that show off his ball-striking skills.
What made the difference for Garcia, as always,
was making his share of putts.
He played bogey-free on a course that was
averaging nearly three shots over par because of
the wind, and one of the few greens he missed,
he holed a 40-foot birdie putt from down the
slope.
“I’m just trying to shoot the best score I can,”
Garcia said.
Daniel Gaunt, one of the three leaders after
the opening round, shot 72 and was the club-
house leader at 5-under 137. Garcia was one
shot behind, and could be in the same spot at the
end of the day.
Defending champion Tiger Woods, who opened
with a 69, made birdie on the 257-yard first hole
and was 3 under for the tournament after four holes.
Garcia began the year with a 66 in the Abu
Dhabi Championship, where he wound up in
13th place. That was as good as it got the rest of
the year. His only top 10 in the United States
was fourth place at the Match Play
Championship, where he lost in the semifinals.
Bulls romp Warriors, 120-90
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Derrick Rose and the
Chicago Bulls knew exactly how to take
advantage of a tired opponent.
Luol Deng scored 26 points, Rose had 22
and Chicago raced to a 30-point lead in the
first half en route to a 120-90 romp over the
weary Golden State Warriors on Thursday
night.
“When you see a team come in on a back-
to-back you’ve got to get up on offense and
get down the court and push the ball,” Rose
said. “It starts with the defense getting a lot of
deflections, guys rebound the ball good and
push it. That’s when we’re dangerous.”
Rose added 13 assists for his third double-
double of the season. He finished one assist
shy of his career best, which he’s increased
twice already this season. Rose is handing out
9.6 assists per game, 3.3 better than he aver-
aged in either of his first two NBA seasons.
Monta Ellis had 24 points to lead the
Warriors, who pulled out a 122-117 victory in
New York on Wednesday night. Stephen
SPORTS
He didn’t have one in
Europe until finishing 10th
at Valderrama a few weeks
ago.
Garcia took the longest
break of his career after the
PGA Championship, not
returning for two months.
He said he needed a break
to readjust his emotions,
Tiger Woods
and a day like Friday cer-
tainly felt fun.
“It just depends on the day,” Garcia said. “If I
wake up and feel at ease, it seems like every-
thing will go right. If I wake up not feeling so
great, it can be a struggle as we go on. It can be
better.”
Garcia made birdie on all the par 5s, picked
up a surprise birdie on the third with his long
putt from off the green, and finished with a
wedge that settled 8 feet behind the hole and a
fist pump when it dropped for birdie on the
ninth.
He was not about to declare himself back to
full form after one round, but it was encourag-
ing.
“Even though it was quite difficult with the
conditions, it seemed like we were always mak-
ing the right decisions,” Garcia said. “Put that
with how I was hitting the ball ... to be honest
with you, that wasn’t the lowest score I could
have shot.”
It helped to be in the hunt, however, especial-
ly with a nasty forecast for the weekend with
heavy rain expected at times.
Curry added 17 points for Golden State,
which played without ailing forward David
Lee.
“We were short-handed without David,”
Curry said. “But there’s no excuse for playing
that bad.”
Bulls guard Keith Bogans had his best game
of the season, with 14 points and six steals.
He also did a nice job defensively of keeping
Ellis under control.
“Monta is one of the best scorers in the
league,” Bogans said. “At practice they were
killing me today, saying he might have 50
tonight.
“I went home and got ready to play. I want-
ed to come in and make everything tough for
him. He’s a great player. And they did a great
job of helping me out also.”
Rose and Deng combined for 39 points in a
first half that Chicago dominated in every
facet of the game. The Bulls outrebounded
Golden State 26-20 and forced 11 turnovers
(leading to 21 points) while committing only
four. They outshot the Warriors 53.1 percent
to 39.1 percent.

Buick brings back Regal name
By Ann M. Job
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Buick’s reputation as a premium American
brand takes a new turn with the new-for-2011
Regal midsize sedan.
The five-passenger car that wears the well-
known Regal name this year is nothing like
the old Regals. Gone are the six-cylinder
engines, the wallowy ride and the senior citi-
zen styling.
The 2011 Regal — the first Regal in U.S.
showrooms since 2004 — is attractive and
modern, powered by four-cylinder engines,
and it rides and handles with composure not
traditionally expected of a Buick.
The early 2011 models aren’t even
built in . They come from a
German factory, which has
been building the sedans
as Opel Insignias for
Europeans for a couple
years. Buick’s parent
company, General
Motors Co., owns ‘s
Opel.
But Buick pricing still
is a bit on the premium
side. Starting manufac-
Muscle and sports together achieved?
By Brian Grabianowski
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Big fast and loud, muscle cars have been
around for nearly 60 years, and they aren’t
going away. Following Ford’s stride of keep-
ing a legend alive, Chrysler and GM have res-
urrected two of their own. Now they have
been tailored to fit the standards of perform-
ance cars today, while keeping the spirit of the
AUTO
turer’s suggested retail price, including desti-
nation charge, for a 2011 Regal with 182-
horsepower, direct-injection, four-cylinder
engine is $26,995. A turbocharged, 2011
Regal with 258-horsepower four cylinder
starts at $29,495.
Currently, both models come in CXL trim
only, with many luxury features standard,
including leather-trimmed seats, leather-
wrapped steering wheel, Bluetooth connectiv-
ity, XM satellite radio, automatic dual-zone
climate control and 18-inch wheels.

muscle era alive. Or have they?
Oversized, heavy, and very orange, the
Challenger is a mirror image of its older
brother from the 1970s both in power, and in
handling. Being the slowest of the three new
American sports/muscle cars, even with a 370
hp 5.7L V8, it still provides the proper feel of
a 40-year-old Dodge.
Driving the Challenger, you’ll remember
what it’s like to get behind the wheel of gen-
uine American muscle. The steering is loose,
electronic stability control and traction con-
trol.
Pricewise, the Regal CXL models come in
between the traditional sales leaders of the
four-cylinder, midsize sedan segment, such as
the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, and the
more luxuriously appointed, V-6-powered,
midsize sedans, such as the Toyota Avalon
and Lincoln MKZ.
For example, a decently appointed 2011
Camry SE with 169-horsepower, four-cylin-
der engine and

the suspension is soft and the seating is very
comfortable.
“Chrysler gave the Challenger new life with
a modernized interior and drive train,” said
Alban Ng from Putnam Dodge in
Burlingame. “With exterior styling that again
plays with the hearts of anyone in the ’70s
who never got one.”
However, instead of creating something
brand new, Chrysler has re-released the
Challenger. With its character and sleek look,
that’s not bad.
In Mustang history, 2011 marks a grand
year. Like Chrysler, Ford hasn’t created some-
thing new, but has improved on what it
already has. The Mustang beats the BMW M3
on tracks and in a straight line, placing it in a
different tier altogether and has effectively
vaulted the Mustang into the state of a world-
class car with precision. But that’s not the
impressive part.
What’s really impressive about the Mustang
is its 426 hp 5.0L V8, and it’s not the numbers
that are staggering. Those numbers are
achieved with natural aspiration, which means
no forced induction. It’s truly amazing what

matic transmission starts at $24,250.
Meantime, the starting retail price for a 2011
Lincoln MKZ with 263-horsepower V-6 is
$35,180.
The test Regal with non-turbo engine and
option package that added power adjustable
front-passenger seat, sunroof, harmon kardon
sound system and rear parking sensors,
topped out at nearly $30,000.
I wouldn’t have recognized this car as a
Regal. It has a pleasing exterior appearance
that’s neither old-style nor weird. No one
looked twice or asked about the test car. But
at the rear of the car, styling reminded me of
the old Pontiac G6.
Much of the engineering
on the new, front-wheel drive
Regal occurred at ‘s Opel,
helping to explain why this
Regal provides drivers
and passengers with a
sense of connectivity to
the road. This wasn’t a
trait of many Regals of
the past.
Steering in the test car had
good, on-center feel, and I

Ford can do with technology like dual over-
head cam and twin independent variable
camshaft timing, or, what Japanese cars have
had for decades. All joking aside, the Mustang
is a spectacle to drive and is packed with raw
power that can only be found in a V8.
The 2010 Camaro SS uses a 6.2L V8 that
outputs 426 horsepower and, to drive, it uses
a six-speed gearbox. There’s even independ-
ent rear suspension to keep you stable instead
of a solid pipe connecting the rear wheels.
Yes, the Camaro is big and the design is
bold, but what’s interesting is the balance it
achieves. With the giant engine and rather
large size, the Camaro makes it all flow quite
nicely.
Ford succeeded in creating a new sports car.
James Brandt from James Ford of Half Moon
Bay definitely had it right when he said, “Ford
has kept the Muscle Car ideal while offering a
different level of performance for every cus-
tomer’s performance and price needs. ... With
all of the new technological updates, Ford has

found the perfect balance between white-
knuckle driving experience, and everyday
commuting comfort.”
But there’s an important point overlooked.
Instead of a car that can do both performance
and commuting, Ford has created two separate
cars that are both excellent at what they do,
whether you want performance with the V8 or

heard and felt mild vibrations as the tires went
over manhole covers and other road imperfec-
tions. Yet, overall, the ride wasn’t harsh or
overly firm. The Regal tester was a car that
would be easy for most any driver to turn on
and just drive comfortably.
Drivers would be hard pressed to tell that
there’s only a four-cylinder under the hood. In

commuting ability with the V6. But what if
you want both? Ford has created two ideal
cars, but hasn’t made it cost-effective. But it is
nice to have a choice.
Unfortunately the Challenger is too slow,
too soft and is far too forgiving to be a per-
formance car. Despite its powerful motor,
there’s no push to be the best, like the
Mustang. It’s just happy to be, to exist, and to
be a performance car, there must be a desire to
perform. At the same time, the styling is a per-
fect homage to the road warriors from the
’70s. So is it a muscle car? Absolutely yes.
In the Camaro, the driver has control of the
double overhead cam, Ecotec four-cylinder,
power came on steadily and with good
“oomph.”
Helping boost four-cylinder horsepower to
182, as opposed to the 169 horses in a four-
cylinder Camry, is direct injection of the fuel.
It’s a feature that European carmakers such as
Volkwagen AG have mastered to get the most
power out of engines.
In the naturally aspirated Regal, peak torque
is 172 foot-pounds at 4,900 rpm, and while it’s
not all there at slow speeds, there’s enough that
drivers don’t have to feel like they’re sitting
ducks as they merge into traffic. Obviously, the
pricier turbo Regal is more powerful, with 220
speed. You might say that’s obvious, and it is,
but only logistically. In the Mustang, there’s
no choice but to go as fast as possible. The
power is present in the Challenger, but there
just isn’t enough. With the Camaro, although
there’s slightly less power, it’s up to the driv-
er to use it.
Chevrolet didn’t try to re-birth its original,
but instead created something new. It’s a mod-
ern-day muscle car, not a duplicate.
Tyrone Rucker of Boardwalk Chevrolet put
it best when he said, “The Camaro is right on
target with the muscle car segment. It has
untapped potential. ... The real reason I think
horses and 258 foot-pounds of torque at a low
2,000 rpm. Both engines are mated to six-
speed automatic transmissions.
Neither version of Regal, though, is a fuel-
sipper.
The best federal government fuel mileage
rating for the 2011 Regal is 19 miles per gal-
lon in city driving and 30 mpg on the highway
for the non-turbo car, like the one I tested. This
is nearly the same as the 20/30-mpg rating that
the government gives to the V-6-powered
Honda Accord midsize sedan with 271 horse-
power.
In the test Regal, I managed just under 20
mpg during the test drive, which was nearly 70

again.”
And that’s really what the Camaro is all
about. The Camaro has kept the muscle era
alive while performing admirably.
You may drive these cars and disagree, and
that’s fine. The Mustang? A near perfect
sports car. The Challenger? A perfect muscle
enthusiasts’ car. The Camaro? A near perfect
car altogether. It all comes down to prefer-

beautiful and don’t really care if it goes fast, a

percent city driving. Thus, with a gasoline tank
capacity of 18.4 gallons, I could only go about
350 miles before needing a fillup of regular
unleaded. Premium fuel is recommended for
the turbo Regal.
The Regal’s interior is a well-laid-out space
that’s quiet and devoid of most gimmicks.
Seats provide good padding and support, par-
ticularly in the front, where the seat cushions
are lengthy. But the leather had such a thick,
durable feel, some passengers assumed it was
good-looking vinyl.
The three-spoke steering wheel with built-in
controls for the driver information center and
radio adds a sporty touch.

Reporter Dan Hoyle set off to find the
United States that exists between the
coasts and outside the big cities, “in
search of tough country wisdom and a
way to bridge America’s urban/rural
divide.” He returned to tell the tale with
his solo show THE REAL AMERICANS,
a series of quick sketches of the people he
met on his journey through small towns
and rural byways. Hoyle’s vocal and phys-
ical pliability serve him well as he morphs
not only into evangelists, Vietnam veter-

without being mean-spirited and the por-

De Laurentiis, pivotal producer of ‘Serpico,’ dies
Dino De Laurentiis, one of the last great, intrepid film pro-
ducers who with unmatched showmanship shepherded movies
as varied as “La Strada” and “Barbarella,”
has died. He was 91.
“My grandfather was a true inspiration.
He was my biggest champion in life and a
constant source for wisdom and advice. I
will miss him dearly,” granddaughter
Giada De Laurentiis, a star chef and host
on Food Network, said Thursday.
De Laurentiis helped build the Italian
film industry during the heyday of its New Dino
Wave, oversaw seminal American films De Laurentiis
such as “Serpico” and “Blue Velvet,” and
pursued blockbusters in flops like “Dune” and critical fiascos
such as the 1976 remake of “King Kong.”
In producing more than 500 wide-ranging films over six
decades, he presided over an incredible mix of high and low.
That the same filmmaker could be involved with Federico
Fellini’s “Nights of Cabiria” and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s
“Conan the Barbarian” would seem to contradict normal
understanding of taste. Instead, he was irrevocably drawn to
the spectacle of the movies.

Obama joke about Slurpee
Summit inspires 7-Eleven
By Michael Hill
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Is President Barack Obama willing to risk
Slurpee brainfreeze as he grapples with politi-
cal gridlock?
A strange but real possibility.
The president’s campaign-trail attack on
Republicans as Slurpee-sipping do-nothings
boomeranged on him the day after the GOP
won the House majority in last week’s midterm
elections. He was asked if he would have like-
ly House Speaker John Boehner over for the
slushy 7-Eleven staple, and the White House
meeting next week with Congressional leaders
was jokingly dubbed the “Slurpee Summit.”
No word yet on whether the nation’s most
powerful elected officials will actually be sip-
ping Goji Berry Cherry Slurpees when dis-
cussing tax cuts on Nov. 18. But the Slurpee
sellers at 7-Eleven are giddily taking advantage
of the golden marketing opportunity with a
“Slurpee Unity Tour” now zigzagging across
the country to Washington.
The Slurpee is ready for its close-up, even if
the president and Congress might not be.
“The more people that drink Slurpees, the
happier we are,” said 7-Eleven spokeswoman
Margaret Chabris. “Republicans, Democrats,
WEEKEND JOURNAL
independents, tea partiers,
whoever.”
Discussion about this
Slurpee Moment usually
comes with tongues plant-
ed firmly in chilly cheeks,
which makes sense.
Though Slurpee’s place in
the pop culture pantheon is
secure, it’s not necessarily
Barack Obama exalted. The drink, with its
funny-sounding name and
corner store pedigree, is more the stuff of
punch lines than political discourse.
Slurpee got a name check in “The 40-Year-
Old Virgin” during an expletive-laced argu-
ment touching on ethnic stereotypes. More
famously, slushy drinks are spoofed on “The
Simpsons” as the “squishee,” sold by Apu at
the Kwik-E-Mart as something to wash down
sketchy hot dogs.
And getting a “slushie” to the face is an ever-
present hazard for the singing and dancing high
schoolers on “Glee.”
In “Planes, Trains and Automobiles,” John
Candy’s oafish shower curtain-ring salesman
memorably offers a Slurpee to the tightly
wound Steve Martin character as he tries to
make up for stealing Martin’s cab.

Vintners hosting harvest dinners This season,
By Michelle Locke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NAPA — Once you had to be a win-
ery or vineyard worker to get invited to
a harvest dinner, the ample feasts cele-
brating hours of backbreaking toil.
These days you just need a ticket.
“People really want to have a special
experience,” says Chris Hall, proprietor
of Long Meadow Ranch Winery &
Farmstead, which is making its first
foray into the pay-per-plate harvest din-
ner arena this fall with an event to raise
money for charity. “Plus, it’s a good
time.”
The old-fashioned tradition of private
dinners for winery staff and picking
crews hasn’t gone anywhere. Even
wineries that are putting on ticketed
affairs still have those.
What’s changed is an increase in
events that are open to the public and/or
wine club members for a fee. Now you
can join in the fun of celebrating a wine
country harvest — without having to
actually do any harvesting.
Events range from several casual
afternoon get-togethers and grape
stomps to elegant affairs like a lunch-
eon at sparkling wine house Domaine
Carneros to a blowout black-tie ball at
the V. Sattui winery.
And the phenomenon doesn’t stop in
wine country.
Harvest events were scheduled across
the country, from a dinner celebrating
local, sustainable food at Boxx Berry
Farm in Ferndale, Wash., to a 2010
Heirloom Harvest Barn Dinner, also
celebrating local eats, in Stratham, N.H.
But the theme is the same, providing
a front-row seat to the bounty of har-
vest.
“People love it. This is something
they plan their whole trip to California
around,” says Claudette Shatto, vice
president of marketing at V. Sattui in St.
Helena.
Last year more than 400 people
attended the V. Sattui Harvest Ball, and
more are expected this year, which
marks the 125th anniversary of the win-
ery.
The evening, which costs $200 per

person, begins with a Champagne
reception and moves on to a six-course
meal prepared by Michelin-starred chef
Stefano Masanti of Madesimo, Italy.
For after-dinner there’s dancing to a
popular San Francisco Bay Area band.
(A cooking class and other activities
have been added on for those who want
to make a weekend of it.)
Not the tuxedo type?
Boots and blue jeans are de rigueur at
the Clif Family Winery & Farm’s har-
vest dinner, which raises money for the
Community Alliance for Family Farms.
The event, in its second year this fall,
celebrates the produce harvest at Clif as
well as the grape harvest and showcas-
es agriculture with things like blind
tomato tastings.
“We do farm tours. We take people
around to see the chickens and the
turkeys, the fruit orchard and the bees,”
says Linzi Gay, general manager of the
winery, which was founded by Gary
Erickson, creator of the Clif energy bar.

NAPA — Looking to blend your philanthropy with your
enology? ’Tis the season.
A limited-production wine is almost always a personal
endeavor, but for the Bump family their recently released
Darms Lane Linda’s Hillside Vineyard cabernet sauvignon is
truly a labor of love.
The wine is named in honor of Darms Lane vineyard co-
owner Linda Bump, who died of ovarian cancer in 2007, and
one-third of the bottle’s recommended selling price of $75 is
slated for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund.
“Having this wine is really nice,” says Tricia Bump Davis,
Linda’s daughter. Smooth and restrained, the wine, mostly cab
with a little cabernet franc and petit verdot added in, is an ele-
gant blend that fits the kind of flavor profile Bump preferred,
adds Bump’s other daughter, Tricia. “We like to say that we
think she would have enjoyed this wine.”
Linda’s Hillside, available directly from the vineyard, is one
of several ways you can sip for a cause during the holidays.

benefit, in this case for the group Slow
Food Napa Valley. It features a whole
hog roast and a discussion and book
signing with “Good Meat” author
Deborah Krasner. Tickets are $35, on
the low-end for these kind of events.
The plan is to celebrate the sustainable
farming practiced at the ranch and give
visitors an idea of what goes on year-
round, says Hall.
Long Meadow has had several har-
vest parties in the past, but this is the
first time they’ve tried this approach.
He’s noticed more wineries putting on
ticketed events for the general public,
something he views as a natural out-
growth of a general push to forge
stronger connections with consumers in
the current wintry economic climate.
“This is definitely a fun way for peo-
ple to interact with the vintners,” he
says.

Culture at Pepperdine University.
“It allows the scale of the disaster to strike
everybody,” he says. “Everybody recognizes
the Hollywood sign. It’s like, ’Oh, that’s big.”’
Apart from its landmarks, L.A. is a popular
disaster-movie locale because of its geogra-
phy. Sitting in a seismic zone on the western
edge of the continent, it is surrounded by
beaches, mountains and deserts. In real life,
the city is subject to floods, fires, earthquakes
and big waves, so seeing freeways collapse or
Santa Monica swallowed up by the sea (as in
“2012”) isn’t such a stretch.
“L.A. can have these multiple functions as
an apocalyptic disaster place because it’s on
the verge between urbanism and nature,” says
Leo Braudy, a University of Southern
California professor and author of “The
Hollywood Sign: Fantasy and Reality of an
American Icon.” “There’s a sense of the pre-
cariousness of human habitation over this
potentially eruptive nature.”
Los Angeles is also a city many people love
to hate, notes American Film Institute histori-
Hollywood have been associated in some peo-
ple’s minds as a hotbed of the devil’s work, so
that underlying element is part of the genre.”
That notion isn’t just implied in 1996’s
“Escape from L.A.,” it’s stated: Los Angeles
becomes known as the “island of the damned”
and “a deportation point for all people found
undesirable or unfit to live in the new moral
America.”
Birchard says the first disaster film was
“The Lost World” in 1925, in which London
was destroyed. New York took its first on-
screen beating in 1933’s “King Kong.”
Since Los Angeles didn’t rise to promi-
nence until after World War II, it wasn’t a pop-
ular site for annihilation until 1952’s “War of
the Worlds.”
Since then, the city has been subject to all
kinds of disasters, both natural and other-
worldly, in films such as “Earthquake” with
Charlton Heston, “Superman” with
Christopher Reeve, and more recently
“Terminator,” “Independence Day,” “The Day
After Tomorrow” and “2012.”
Ultimately, heaving destruction on Los
Angeles shows Hollywood’s sense of humor,
sense of optimism and a real love for its
sunny, palm-lined home.
“Skyline,” says the alien-invasion flick was
inspired by the breathtaking view from his
Marina del Rey condo. The invaders’ first tar-
get? Movie studios.
“It’s a strange coincidence that the mother-
ships, they descend on all the studios first,” he
says with a laugh. “One’s in Culver City.
One’s in Century City... Those aliens, they
have peculiar tastes.”
“We barbecue all of West Hollywood and
Beverly Hills,” adds co-director Colin
Strause.
The destruction was achieved digitally at
the Strause brothers’ own visual-effects firm,
Hydraulx. The company also did special
effects for “Battle: Los Angeles,” another
alien-invasion tale as seen through the eyes of
one Marine platoon in L.A.
De Govia and his team lovingly rebuilt
almost the entire Miracle Mile stretch of
Wilshire Boulevard at three-quarter scale for
the destruction scenes in “Volcano.” They also
built the Beverly Center in miniature. Then
they blew everything up.
A longtime L.A. resident, he’s been moved
— literally — by other disaster films set in the
city.
He wanted to buy a home near the reservoir
after seeing “Earthquake,” in which the reser-
voir’s dam breaks and floods the neighbor-
hood below.
“It’s always in your mind,” he says. “Dams
do break. We see it in movies all the time.”
But regardless of the on-screen devastation,
there are always a few survivors in these films,
along with a message of hope, which USC’s
Braudy relates to the West Coast’s spirit of
optimism — yet still another reason for
Hollywood to choose L.A. when doing digital
disaster.
“It’s kind of hedged, but there’s always
hope: Hope for change, hope for resurrec-
tion,” he says. “It’s an odd kind of Western
optimism: We’re going to start over again, like
a phoenix rising from its own destruction.”
It’s cathartic to see people triumph over
tough challenges, and it’s fun because it’s all
pretend. Los Angeles may be in ashes, but
step outside the theater, and there it is in all its
gilded glory.
“L.A. is good at playing itself in film. It’s a
familiar face,” says Detweiler. “Just as we
expect Will Smith to rescue the day, we expect
L.A. to get blown up and somehow miracu-
lously reappear in the next summer block-
buster.”

WINE
Continued from page 23
Dec. 31 and the winery will donate $5 to the
Meals On Wheels Association of America, for a
total of $25,000.
In a non-wine endeavor, The Macallan
Scotch Whisky’s oldest and rarest whisky ever
bottled — a 64-year-old single malt — has
traveled the world in a one-of-a-kind Lalique
decanter. Tiny tastes of about 3 ounces have
been auctioned off with proceeds benefiting
charity. A high point was $41,000 raised in
Taipei.
Since the tour began in April 2010, The
Macallan and Lalique have raised about
$145,000 for the nonprofit group charity: water,
which works to provide safe drinking water to
developing nations. The tour ends with a final
auction of the Lalique decanter filled with 1.5
liters of the 64-year-old liquid on Nov. 15 at
Sotheby’s New York .
“Every $5,000 that we raise allows charity:
water to build a well,” says The Macallan brand
ambassador Graeme Russell , who has tasted
the 64 year old whisky and calls it “out of this
world.”
“To raise $5,000 is spectacular. To reach
totals like $41,000 has just literally blown us
away,” he says.
And then there’s Ehlers Estate in the Napa
Valley, where 100 percent of proceeds from
wine sales go to support the nonprofit Leducq
Foundation in Paris dedicated to funding inter-
national cardiovascular research.
The Leducq Foundation has awarded $187
million to cardiovascular researchers in 16
countries over the last 11 years.
The winery property was acquired, piece by
piece, by the late French entrepreneur and phi-
lanthropist Jean Leducq, starting in 1985. The
land he and enologist Jacques Boissenot chose
included the home of the historic vineyard of
Napa Valley pioneer Bernard Ehlers, hence the
name. The winery produced its first vintage in
2000 and is known for Bordeaux-style blends.
Not surprisingly, the winery, which has a
heart logo worked into the “E” in “Ehlers,” gets
quite a few visits from people involved in the
health care industry as well as former patients.
“There’s a nice connection there,” says gen-
eral manager and winemaker Kevin Morrisey.
He likes the estate purely from a winemaker’s
point of view; the grapes are 100 percent organ-
ic and the location in the north of the Napa
Valley is “really quite amazing. There’s no
winemaker that wouldn’t want these grapes. It’s
really a sweet spot.”
“I’m not here to be a do-gooder, I’m interest-
ed in the world-class wine we’re making from
this site. But at the end of the day it’s really
great to know what our ownership is doing with
the money,” he adds.
For Bump Davis, raising money for a cause
that has touched her family so closely could be
bittersweet.

Work-related enterprises could prove to be particularly ben-
eficial financially in the next year. The projects that are likely
to be some of your best producers will have something unique
and special about them.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Shifting conditions over which
you have no control can sometimes put you at a severe
disadvantage. However, these unexpected changes will now
benefit you instead of work against you. Enjoy!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - All your better qualities
will be in evidence, but your best assets will be your sales
and promotional skills. Use them well to put yourself on top
of the heap.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Situations that previously
produced obstacles can now generate special opportunities.
Breathe new vitality into your work and/or whatever it is that
has always brought you status and rewards.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Although it normally isn’t
too smart to mix business and pleasure, this won’t be the
case for you at this juncture. Several new business opportuni-
ties could come your way through social involvements.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Even if it is a bit inconvenient,
try to work on and complete something that you’ve been anx-
ious to finish. This can be a fortunate day for you, and things
might not be as good tomorrow.
be showing signs manifesting. Stay on top of your game, suc-
cess is a lot closer than you think.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Whether we like it or not, our
reputations, integrity and credibility are all judged by how
well we handle our finances. It behooves you to take special
care to do your best.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Success is indicated in activi-
ties you take special care to manage. Don’t dilute your effec-
tiveness by delegating some of your jobs to others who can’t
do them as well as you can.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Greater possibilities for gains
are indicated, if you utilize several channels that you usually
don’t employ. Rather than going through your regular sources,
try something new.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Two unassociated individuals who
have proven to be fortunate for you in the past are likely to
cross your path again. The circumstances could be somewhat
different, but the results will be just the same.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Far more opportunities than
usual exist concerning your work or career. One of two unex-
pected breaks could even come through some contacts that
have powerful affiliations.

ities that possess friendly elements of competition, so don’t Sudoku
hesitate to participate in one or two when urged to do so. You

ects, requests for proposals shall be

Continued from page 1
Just before the Battle of the Bulge, a major
German offensive that began in December
1945, many members of the 106th Infantry
Division went AWOL. Men like Callas were
then added to the list of people who would
ship out with the 106th.
“The powers that be talked to the other
powers that be and said, ‘We’ve spent a lot of
money training these men and we’ll be throw-
ing it away if we send them there,’” Callas
recalled yesterday.
Callas was allowed to stay behind working

decision by those higher up to be life chang-

were killed.
Callas, who ended up spending 60 years as
a teacher in the Bay Area, was one of the
many veterans who gathered in Redwood City
yesterday to celebrate Veterans Day. Hosted
by the American Legion Post 105, Redwood
City, the gathering at Courthouse Square fea-
tured the Peninsula Scout Band and the father-
son duo of Ted and Alex Marcopulos, of
Mountain View, playing “Taps.”
Ted Marcopulos, a veteran himself, enjoys
the event and described being asked back to

mark without such a designation, prosecutors
can petition to extend her stay in two-year
increments, Wagstaffe said.
Each extension requires a jury trial.
On Oct. 19, Brown pleaded no contest to the
charges and was immediately found insane at
the time of the crimes based on a trio of
reports by court-appointed doctors. The nego-
tiated settlement spared Brown trial on three
counts of premeditated attempted murder —
alongside child abuse charges — which could
carry a life sentence.
Police arrested Brown June 21, several
Earlier this year, the council and staff
agreed that more frequent updates be provid-
ed to the City Council during its regular meet-
ings for councilmembers to stay apprised of
the city’s financial condition.
The council received an end-of-year quar-
terly report back in September and will
receive its second-ever quarterly report
Monday night.
“This information is very useful to us as we
are trying to trim a $3.2 million structural
deficit by 2013-14,” said Mayor Rick Wykoff.

Many gathered at 9:30 a.m. to chat, enjoy
some treats and reminisce with other veterans.
At 11:11 a.m., a Coast Guard helicopter did a
flyover above about 100 people gathered in
the courthouse square. Shortly after, lunch
was served. All military branches were pres-
ent from a variety of wars. While the veterans
were overwhelmingly male, there were some
women in the bunch.
Barbara Naas served during the Korean
War.
At 20 years old, she came home and told her
mom she enlisted.
“You had to be 21 to enlist at the time,” she
recalled. “So my mother needed to sign the
papers so I could join.”
The oldest of four children, Naas took her
hours after receiving a call from a 13-year-old
boy who said he and his 23-year-old sister
were attacked with a dumbbell at the family’s
home at 1010 Vera Ave. Later details showed
that Brown’s husband of 26 years and the chil-
dren were allegedly drugged the previous
night by something she placed in their food.
Brown fled the house and was found by
sheriff’s deputies later that afternoon at
Pomponio State Beach where authorities
believe she tried to kill herself with pre-
scription medication and she was hospital-
ized before being medically cleared and
Foster City ended fiscal year 2009-10 with
an unrestricted, undesignated reserve balance
of $22.1 million but the reserve is expected to
shrink to $17.6 million, though, at the end of
the fiscal year 2010-11 budget.
Wykoff wants to use the city’s reserve to
reduce the deficit from a meaningful and
strategic standpoint.
“We are going to do everything we can to
minimize the trauma to employees,” Wykoff
said.
The council will look at job vacancies and

chances on exploring the world outside the
Bay Area. Stationed in Washington, D.C. at
first, she ended up as the secretary to the edi-
tor of “Leatherneck,” the magazine for the
U.S. Marine Corps. At the time, the Marines
only allowed women who served as nurses to
go overseas. Naas wasn’t in such a position
but has since met women who were. She has
particularly enjoyed learning about women
who served during World War II.
During her years in the Marines, Naas’
mother became ill and she returned to finish
her years of service at Treasure Island.

O’Malley has said his client suffered a men-
tal breakdown in the weeks before the attack,
believing people wanted to harm or even kill
her family.

whether they need to be filled before making
any major personnel changes, Wykoff said.
The city develops five-year financial plans
to help it forecast revenue and combat any
projected shortfalls. So far, Foster City has
been one of the few cities on the Peninsula
that has not had to trim significantly from its
staff to balance its budget.
The city’s annual operating budget for the
general fund is approximately $30.8 million
for FY 2010-11.
