San Carlos residents worried the pro-
posed Transit Village development around the
train station will amplify existing noise
balked last night at city staffs conclusion that
the Planning Commission neednt consider
sound as a signicant impact of the project.
A crowd of red-shirted members of the
Greater East San Carlos association and other
residents also told the Planning Commission
last night the project needs to be downsized to
t the location rather than create trafc jams
and too little parking that will spill over into
adjacent neighborhoods.
I dont think theres anyway to sugarcoat
that there isnt enough parking, said Amy
Chang, explaining that there will only be 10
dedicated spots for commercial business, 44
shared spaces between residents and com-
muters and the loss of 34 free spots on El
Camino Real.
Chang and several others say the Planning
Commission should not recommend certify-
ing the nal environmental impact report
because it has fallacies and incomplete infor-
mation, such as how much the mixed-use
development will affect both on-site and sur-
rounding parking areas. A parking consultant

Burlingame council votes to pursue
grade separation, design kept open
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Burlingame City Council isnt necessarily convinced
raising train tracks at Broadway is the way to go, but it sup-
ports seeking funds to make some changes
at the crossing.
Now that Caltrain has funds for a multi-
year modernization project to electrify the
train tracks, Mayor Jerry Deal wanted to
take the pulse of the council about grade
separation specically at Broadway. The
time may have come, Deal said, to accept
that the citys expensive preference of a
lower rail line might not be an option and
weigh in on other alternatives. Separating
the rail line from the road helps alleviate local trafc and is
thought to be safer. Traditionally, grade separations entail ele-
vated tracks but a costlier option is lowering the tracks.
At a meeting last night, there seemed to be some struggle
with elevated tracks. Ultimately, the city isnt tied to any pref-
erence it indicates at this point, said City Manager Jim Nantell.
With that in mind, the council voted 3-1, with Vice Mayor Ann
Keighran dissenting and Councilwoman Cathy Baylock

While Burlingame ofcials and residents have advocated
lowering the Caltrain line,or even tunneling it,the City Council
is split on whether the city should explore funding for grade
separation at the Broadway crossing.

Europe cocaine seizure
means more bananas for zoo

cocaine seizure in Europe has turned out
to be good news for the animals at

than eight tons of cocaine was hidden
among the bananas on a ship from

Mystery giant eyeball
on beach may be swordfishs
MIAMI The giant, blue eyeball that
washed up on a South Florida beach like-
ly came from a swordsh, wildlife of-
cials said Monday.
Based on its color, size and structure,
along with the presence of bone around it,
experts believe the eye came from a
swordsh, according to statement from
the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission.
Based on straight-line cuts visible
around the eye, we believe it was
removed by a sherman and discarded,
said Joan Herrera, curator of collections
at the commissions Research Institute in
St. Petersburg. Swordsh are commonly
shed in the Florida Straits offshore of
south Florida at this time of year.
Genetic testing will be done to conrm
the identication.
A man found the softball-size eye on
Wednesday while taking a morning stroll
along Pompano Beach just north of Fort
Lauderdale, creating a buzz on the
Internet. Those in the marine biology
community were making their own pre-
dictions: that it came from a deep sea
squid based on the eyeballs lens and
pupil, or from a swordsh.

Jim Chalmers, former mayor of San Mateo
and active Rotarian, died last week at the age
of 84, his wife told the Daily Journal yester-
day.
Chalmers suffered a broken neck
Wednesday after taking a fall from a ladder
while doing some painting in his ofce, his
wife Elizabeth said.
He is survived by his wife and two children,
Catherine and Brent, and three grandchildren.
He was the greatest most generous man
living, Elizabeth said yesterday.
Enjoying the outdoors was one of his
favorite pastimes as he skied at least 60 days a
year. Recently, he climbed the backside of
Half Dome in Yosemite National Park with his
daughter Catherine, Elizabeth said.
Jim was such a dynamic person, said Sue
Lempert, former San Mateo mayor and Rotary
member.
Lempert described him as a great athlete
and generous.
Its a shock for those of
us who knew him to see
him go so quickly. It
seems like just yesterday
he was doing his daily run
in the neighborhood,
Lempert said about
Chalmers.
The man epitomized
service above self, the
Rotary motto, said Anne LeClair, president of
the San Mateo County Convention and
Visitors Bureau and Rotary Club of San
Mateo board member.
He had amazing sense of humor, she said,
was a practical joker and was known as Mr.
Reliable.
He was always putting others rst and
never looking for recognition, she said.
He started the picnic grove in Central Park
and maintained it for years, she said.
When a friend would pass away, Chalmers was
the rst to offer support to the family, she said.
Whatever youve heard about Jim, he was
even better than that. He was one of the top
people who ever walked the planet, LeClair
said.
A memorial for Chalmers will be held this
Saturday.
He was the founder of Control, Inc. and
served on the board of Borel Private Bank and
Trust from 1993 to 2004.
He was named to the governing board of
United American Bank in 2005 and also
served on the boards of the San Mateo Union
High School District, the Mills-Peninsula
Hospital District, the Boy Scouts of America
and the Lesley Foundation.
He was appointed to ll a vacancy on the
San Mateo City Council in January 1974 and
served until April 1979.
The memorial service for Chalmers will be
held Saturday, Oct. 20 at 1 p.m. at the

progress and helped close gaps in achieve-
ment, especially among disadvantaged and
minority students.
I congratulate these dedicated schools for
receiving such a prestigious national honor,
State Superintendent Tom Torlakson, who
nominated the schools earlier this year, wrote
in a press release. This recognition was

istrators and staff supported by involved par-
ents who worked together to provide their
students a rm foundation for a lifetime of
learning.
Public schools are nominated by each chief
state school ofcer. Schools must meet one of
two eligibility criteria: exemplary high-per-
forming in the most recent year tested or
exemplary-improving, dened as having at
least 40 percent of their students from disad-
vantaged backgrounds with improving per-
formance.
Blue Ribbon Schools will be honored at a
national awards ceremony in November in
Washington, D.C., where each winner will
receive a plaque and ag. Blue Ribbon win-
ners may y this ag at their schools as a mark
of excellence and a symbol of quality.

Obituary
By Don Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO One prison employee
was accused of bearing an inmates child.
Another was alleged to have sent nude photos
of herself to an inmates contraband cellphone.
And a prison guard sent love letters to an
inmate.
The examples of inappropriate relationships
forged behind prison walls also illustrate one
of the conduits inmates use to have cellphones
smuggled to them.
The cases are among dozens of disciplinary
examples contained in a report this month
from the prison systems inspector general. It
found that cellphone smuggling and illicit rela-
tionships are ongoing problems for the
Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
We take it very seriously, but unfortunately
those things do happen, department spokes-
woman Dana Simas said of the improper rela-
tionships.
Ofcials said Monday that problems exist,
even though the department acts quickly to
dismiss employees or le criminal charges
when it can.
However, the inspector generals ofce, in
its 272-page report, also criticized department
lawyers and other investigators for often fail-
ing to properly and quickly conduct investiga-
tions.
Charges were led against the female cor-
rectional ofcers accused of sending nude
images and love letters to inmates, and against
a licensed vocational nurse who allegedly
engaged in sexual conduct with one inmate
while supplying others with drugs and mobile
phones.
The outcomes of the prosecutions were not
included in the report, which details 419 dis-
ciplinary investigations that the inspector gen-
eral monitored in the rst six months of this
year.
The cases include excessive use of force
against inmates and incidents that happened
outside prisons, as well as allegations of smug-
gling and improper relations with inmates.
Report IDs range of abuses by state prison staff
We take it very seriously, but
unfortunately those things do happen.

A reverse mortgage can be an effective tool for
giving homeowners (62+) additional cash to live on
by using the equity in their home. However, it is
not a decision to be taken lightly.
Its important to work with an
experienced originator who can
help you assess your individual
situation to determine if a reverse
mortgage is right for you.
A reverse mortgage is a unique loan that
enables homeowners (62+) to borrow against their
equity without requiring them to give up title, sell
the home, or take on a monthly mortgage payment.
Proceeds can be taken either through a line of
credit, lump sum, or monthly installments.
There are no income requirements or credit
qualications on a reverse mortgage. However,
the homeowner must maintain the property as their
primary residence and remain current on property
taxes and insurance.
The Home Equity Conversion Mortgage
(HECM) provides the most money, but there is
a newer Saver HECM with signicantly lower
closing costs. Like the original HECM the Saver
HECMhas a xed and adjustable
interest rate program.

Three arrested for
residential burglaries
A call by an alert neighbor in Redwood City
led to the arrest of three suspects for residen-
tial burglaries in Redwood City and Belmont
Friday afternoon, according to police.
Belmont police responded to a home in the
1300 block of Sunnyslope Avenue on a resi-
dential burglary that had just been discovered
by the residents Friday afternoon just before 2
p.m., according to police.
The Redwood City case began at approxi-
mately 10:50 a.m., when a resident in the 400
block of Pine Street called 911 to report a bur-
glary in progress. Redwood City police
responded and took three suspects into cus-
tody without incident. During the investiga-
tion of that burglary, Redwood City police
found property from the earlier burglary in
Belmont.
The three suspects, Raphaelle Jones, 23, of
Citrus Heights and Wyatt King, 34, and
Gabriel Carter, 35, both of Oakland, were
booked into the San Mateo County Jail on
charges relating to both the Redwood City and
Belmont burglaries.
The three are also suspects in a residential
burglary in Palo Alto Oct. 9.
Charges in that case are pending, according
to police.
Police seek witnesses
after San Francisco standoff
Investigators are asking any possible wit-
nesses to come forward after shots were red
and a standoff outside a San Francisco home
over the weekend.
Police Sgt. Michael Andraychak says when
officers were called to the citys Alamo
Square neighborhood around 7 a.m. Sunday
they found bullet casings and blood on the
ground.
After police surrounded a nearby home,
several adults and four children walked out
about 11 a.m.
Two of those people, 27-year-old Cole
Martin of Vallejo and 47-year-old Dana
Rajeski, were arrested on outstanding war-
rants.
Andraychak says police are still investigat-
ing, but Martin and Rajeski have not been
charged in connection with the shots being
red.
Local briefs
The 25-year-old Good Samaritan who
pulled a loaded .45-caliber gun on a man
involved in a confrontation with a woman in
downtown San Mateo was sentenced to time

yesterday to misdemeanor assault.
Ashley Andaluz Viola, of San Pablo, was
sentenced to six days in jail but has credit of
the same amount earned before posting
$50,000 bail. He must also pay standard fees

him from possessing a gun in the future.
Viola was initially hailed as a Good
Samaritan after he pulled the weapon appar-
ently in defense of a 57-
year-old woman who he
said had been assaulted
shortly after 3 p.m. June
22, 2011 near Third
Avenue and San Mateo
Drive. Viola told police he
saw the altercation and fol-
lowed her alleged attacker,
pulling his rearm as the
man hid behind a newspa-
per rack. He pulled the trigger multiple times
but the gun did not re.
Days later, though, prosecutors charged
Viola, alleging he violated the law himself by
having no legal basis to carry the gun and
actually ring the weapon at the man. At the
time, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said
the couple had an angry interaction and the
man either shoved or bumped the woman but
did not knock her down as Viola had claimed.
When two police ofcers responded to mul-
tiple calls about a man with a gun, Viola
turned toward them and did not immediately
respond to demands to drop the weapon.
The gun was later found to have numerous
rounds in the magazine but not the chamber.
In April, a judge dismissed some of the
original charges and reduced the remaining to
misdemeanors. He was scheduled to begin
jury trial yesterday before taking the negotiat-
ed settlement.

WASHINGTON Secretary of State
Hillary Rodham Clinton headed to Peru
Monday, where she will talk about womens
empowerment. But overshadowing her trip
is the lingering political drama in
Washington over the Obama administra-
tions handling of last months deadly attack
on the U.S. Consulate in
Libya.
Clinton left for the
long-planned event in
Lima after another week-
end of criticism from
Republicans over the
Obama administrations
initial explanation of the
Sept. 11 attack and secu-
rity at the consulate in Benghazi, where the
U.S. ambassador and three other Americans
died.
Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a
long-time point man for the GOP on nation-
al security issues, accused President Barack
Obamas aides on Sunday of deliberately
covering up the details of the attack so that
voters couldnt question Obamas handling
of the war on terror.

A former U.S. senator who helped negotiate a
peace treaty in Northern Ireland has been
appointed to help California energy regulators
and Pacic Gas & Electric reach a settlement
over a pipeline explosion that killed eight peo-
ple, the two sides announced Monday.
The California Public Utilities Commission
said former Senate Majority Leader George
Mitchell, a Democrat, has agreed to mediate
talks between PG&E and the commissions
staff to determine how much the utility should
pay in nes.
Representatives from the city of San Bruno,
where the deadly explosion happened in
September 2010, and from a ratepayer advoca-
cy group also will participate in the discussions,
which are aimed at resolv-
ing the safety steps PG&E
must take to prevent future
pipeline accidents.
The commissions safety
division last week received
permission from two
California judges to tem-
porarily suspend the public
hearings it has held over the
last two years to determine
liability for the blast, which also destroyed
dozens of homes. The commissions president,
Michael Peevey, said holding closed-door nego-
tiations could lead to a quicker settlement,
although surviving victims of the San Bruno
explosion and relatives of those killed said they
favored an open process.
We are condent Sen. Mitchell can help
achieve a solution that will resolve these cases
sooner rather than later, bring justice to the good
people of San Bruno, and move California for-
ward to our goal of a much safer natural gas sys-
tem, Peevey said. Federal and state investiga-
tors have blamed PG&E for the explosion,
which occurred when an underground pipeline
ruptured at the site of a decades-old faulty weld,
sparking a gas-fueled re.
PG&E could face hundreds of millions of
dollars in possible state nes. Any settlement
overseen by Mitchell would be in addition to a
trust fund the company created to pay up to $70
million to help the city cover the cost of rebuild-
ing, a $100 million fund to support emergency
needs in the aftermath of the accident and mil-
lions more resulting from residents lawsuits.

Twenty-five stores cited for
selling tobacco to minors
Court will hear Arizona
case on voter registration
Using underage buyers, law enforcement ofcials handed
out 25 violations for selling tobacco products to youth in
Belmont, East Palo Alto and San Mateo.
San Mateo County sheriffs deputies in conjunction with
ofcers from the Belmont, East Palo Alto and San Mateo
police departments conducted the enforcement sting Sept. 29.
They targeted 89 establishments that sell tobacco products and
found 25 retailers that sold tobacco to a young person. The
biggest offenders were retailers in the city of San Mateo:
minors were able to purchase 33 percent of the time. Of the
three cities targeted, ve citations were issued in East Palo
Alto and Belmont and 20 in the city of San Mateo alone,
according to a press release from the Sheriffs Ofce.
Of the retailers that did not sell the minors, it was technolo-
gy and new ID formats that assisted them. Some retailers oper-
ated cash registers that read the IDs of minors and calculated
the age. This technology caused the register to lock out and
prevent the sale. For others, the vertical format of IDs issued
to those under 18 made recognizing a minor easier and pre-
vented the sale, according to the press release.
The governor recently signed Assembly Bill 1301, authored
by Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, which allows for
the suspension or revoking of a business license to sell tobac-
co if it is not following the law.
WASHINGTON The Supreme Court on Monday agreed
to take up an appeal from Arizona over its requirement that
people prove they are American citizens before registering to
vote.
The justices will review a federal appeals court ruling that
blocked the law in some instances.
A 10-member panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
in San Francisco said that federal law trumps the Arizona
requirement. Federal law allows voters to ll out a mail-in
voter registration card and swear they are citizens under penal-
ty of perjury, but it doesnt require them to show proof as
Arizonas 2004 law does.
Four other states, Alabama, Georgia, Kansas and Tennessee,
have similar requirements, according to a legal brief led by
Alabama in support of the Arizona law. The case poses some
of the same issues as voter identication disputes. Arizona and
the other states argue that they should be allowed to ask for
additional documentation to keep illegal immigrants and other
non-citizens off the voting rolls.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Carlos resident Lindsay Schulz
had just about given up on nding a job
in her chosen eld after graduating from
college with a science degree.
After returning home to the Bay Area
with a biochemistry degree from
California Polytechnic State University,
San Luis Obispo, Schulz, 23, started to
look for work online, signed up with an
employment agency and started net-
working all with little luck in nding
the right career path.
Schulz struggled in her job search
because she was not sure she could han-
dle working in a laboratory all day since
she enjoys interacting with people so
much.
In college, she was active with various
clubs, including orientation and chem-
istry organizations and worked as a
teaching assistant and undergraduate
research assistant.
She wanted a job in the sciences but
could not nd the right one.
Then, a family member told her about
an upcoming Job Hunters Boot Camp
earlier this year hosted by U.S. Rep.
Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo.
I was nervous at rst, Schulz said
about attending the
boot camp. But
everyone was wel-
coming.
She ended up sit-
ting down at a table
hosted by San Bruno-
based Lab Support, a
company that recruits
employees for
Genentech, Novartis
and other local related companies.
She went into the boot camp with no
expectations.
Shortly after, however, Lab Support
called her and shes been with the com-
pany since April, even recently getting a
promotion.
Going to the boot camp, led to a full-
time position that I didnt even know
existed in a career path that I hadnt con-
sidered during my job search, she said.
Now, Schulz is helping others nd
work as she recruits for local science-
based companies.
Todays event will be Speiers ninth
Job Hunters Boot Camp and will feature
more than 40 employers. She held the
rst boot camp for job seekers in 2010 in
partnership with San Mateo County.
About 900 people typically attend the
events.
While the unemployment rate in San
Mateo County dropped to 6.8 percent in
September, the rate remains dispropor-
tionately high for recent college gradu-
ates at 53 percent. Our boot camp is a
great step towards getting that rst job
after college, Speier wrote in a state-
ment.
Schulz will be one of the special guest
speakers at todays boot camp.
Each boot camp features employers
and workshops where experts explain
how to excel in a job interview, craft a
resume and use social media to land a
dream job, according to Speiers ofce.
Known as the TOOLS tent, job seek-
ers receive one-on-one counseling on
how to conduct a successful job search.
Some of the participating employers
include Onyx Pharmaceuticals, Oracle,
Kaiser Permanente and the San
Francisco International Airport.
The Ninth Job Hunters Boot Camp is
today, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., San Mateo
County Event Center, Fiesta Hall, 1346
Saratoga Drive, San Mateo.

WASHINGTON Nearly six in 10
Medicare recipients would pay higher premi-
ums under a hypothetical privatized system
along the lines of what Republican presiden-
tial candidate Mitt Romney has proposed,
according to a study released Monday.
The report by the nonpartisan Kaiser
Family Foundation also found striking region-
al differences that could lead to big premium
hikes in some states and counties. That nd-
ing instantly made it ammunition in the pres-
idential campaign.
In the senior-rich political swing state of
Florida, the hypothetical plan modeled by
Kaiser would boost premiums for traditional
Medicare by more than $200 a month on aver-
age. In Nevada, another competitive state, 50
percent of seniors would face additional
monthly premiums of $100 or more for their
coverage. A new pattern of regional dispari-
ties would emerge from overhauling
Medicares payment system, the report said.
Romney and his running mate, Wisconsin
Rep. Paul Ryan, have proposed changing
Medicare to a premium support system
dominated by private plans that are paid a
xed amount by the government. President
Barack Obama says replacing the current
open-ended Medicare benefit would shift
costs to seniors.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. With the econ-
omy showing some signs of improvement
three weeks before Election Day, President
Barack Obama on Monday laid down a full
embrace of the economic record many
Republicans say is his biggest weakness.
The presidents rst act in this critical cam-
paign week was to announce a new battle-
ground state advertisement featuring voters
discussing the ways their economic condi-
tions have improved during his term. The ad
was hitting the airwaves as Obama and
Republican challenger Mitt Romney huddled
in intense preparation for their second debate
as polls show a closely fought campaign.
This race is tied, Obama said in an appeal
to supporters asking them to donate at least $5
to his re-election effort. He promised to be
ghting for the election on the debate stage
Tuesday night something many of his sup-
porters thought he did too little of in his rst
face-off with Romney.
Early voting is under way in dozens of
states, giving the candidates little chance to
recover from any slip-ups that come in these
nal days. Obama has been trying to get his
supporters to lock in their choice now, and his
campaign announced Monday that he and his
wife, Michelle, would become the rst presi-
dent and rst lady to cast their ballots early.
Obama planned to vote early during a visit
to his home state of Illinois next week, while
Michelle Obama told a rally in Delaware,
Ohio, that she dropped her absentee ballot in
the mail Monday. For me, it was Election
Day, she said.
Even as polls show the race tightening
nationally and in battleground states,
Obamas campaign aides say they are encour-
aged by public and private surveys showing
voters growing more confident about the
direction of the economy.

BEIRUT A landmark mosque
in Aleppo was burned, scarred by
bullets and trashed the latest
casualty of Syrias civil war and
President Bashar Assad on Monday
ordered immediate repairs to try to
stem Muslim outrage at the desecra-
tion of the 12th century site.
The Umayyad Mosque suffered
extensive damage, as has the nearby
medieval covered market, or souk,
which was gutted by a re that was
sparked by ghting two weeks ago.
The market and the mosque are cen-
terpieces of Aleppos walled Old
City, which is listed as a UNESCO
World Heritage site.
Government troops had been
holed up in the mosque for months
before rebels launched a push this
week to drive them out. Activists
and Syrian government officials
blamed each other for the weekend
re at the mosque.
Rebel supporters also alleged that
regime forces defaced the shrine
with offensive graffiti and drank
alcohol inside, charges bound to fur-
ther raise religious tensions in Syria.
Many of the rebels are Sunni
Muslims, while the regime is domi-
nated by Alawites, or followers of
an offshoot of Shiite Islam.
Its all blackened now, activist
Mohammad al-Hassan said of the
site, also known as the Great
Mosque. One of Syrias oldest and
largest shrines, it was built around a
vast courtyard and enclosed in a
compound adjacent to the ancient
citadel.

STOCKHOLM Two American
scholars won the Nobel economics
prize Monday for work on match-
making how to pair doctors with
hospitals, students with schools,
kidneys with transplant recipients
and even men with women in mar-
riage.
Lloyd Shapley of UCLA and
Alvin Roth, a Harvard University
professor currently visiting at
Stanford University, found ways to
make markets work when tradition-
al economic tools fail.
Shapley, 89, came up with the for-
mulas to match supply and demand
in markets where
prices dont do
the job; the 60-
year-old Roth
put Shapleys
math to work in
the real world.
Unlike some
recent Nobel
prizes such as
the Peace Prize
that went to the embattled European
Union last week this years eco-
nomics award did not seem to send
a political message.
Its all about down-to-earth,
highly useful stuff, said Robert
Aumann, a professor at Jerusalems
Hebrew University who won the
2005 economics Nobel. Were talk-
ing about the nitty-gritty of health
care and educa-
tion which
medical students
are assigned to
which hospitals.
Were talking
about how to
arrange donors
of kidneys.
Shapley made
early theoretical
inroads into the subject, using game
theory to analyze different matching
methods in the 1950s and 60s.
In a groundbreaking 1962 paper,
Shapley and the late David Gale
looked at how to match 10 men and
10 women in perfectly stable mar-
riages. They created a model in
which no two people liked anyone
else better than each other.

OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
By Herb Perez
F
oster City is in the process of work-
ing with the developer of the remain-
ing 15 acres adjacent to City Hall. In
the past, there were many different approach-
es and solutions, each has had its own sets of
challenges and never came to fruition.
The current development will serve a much
desired and needed function in our communi-
ty. It will provide housing for seniors and
care for those in need of assisted living. In
addition, there is some community expecta-
tion it will serve as a town square and pro-
vide a successful retail and/or dining compo-
nent that may be lacking in our city. It may
be necessary to adjust our expectations and
rethink exactly what impact this development
may have within our community.
The majority of the acreage will be cov-
ered by various residential buildings in dif-
ferent congurations. The retail component is
limited to roughly 30,000 square feet. Each
of Foster Citys current retail centers far
exceeds the proposed size of retail in the 15-
acre development. It is important to consider
that our current retail centers have vacancies
and struggle to remain vital. Foster City is
not a retail or dining destination and addi-
tional 30,000 square feet of retail is not
going to change that harsh reality. We are a
destination for our quality of life. We are a
quiet community with excellent quality of
life. In the past, our centers served as local
resources for our residents and employees of
surrounding businesses.
We, as a city, cannot over-promise and
under-deliver. It is imperative we manage the
expectation of our residents with regard to
the 15-acre development and its function and
form. There is no doubt that the primary
function of the development is to provide our
seniors with housing alternatives as they age
in place within our community. Over the
course of time, it seems that various ancillary
functions were introduced and gained trac-
tion along the way. These concepts included
retail, dining and some sort of gathering
place or town center. It may now be time to
address these additional
functions and uses. The
better question is whether
these expectations can be
met, or do we need to
adjust our view and the
developers deliverables.
Foster City does not
exist in a vacuum. We are
part of a larger communi-
ty in which we complement existing invento-
ry and/or compete for residents and cus-
tomer dollars and loyalty. We do this in terms
of housing, retail, dining and commercial
real estate. As a community, we do well in
terms of desirable residential inventory and
limited commercial retention.
As a city, we continue to struggle with
retail and dining choices. The hard reality is
we compete with our surrounding cities that
have better access and more inventory. This
creates far more diverse and numerous choic-
es for Foster City residents outside the citys
boundaries. This fact is compounded by the
limited amount and conguration of our
retail inventory.
We cannot expect that the creation of addi-
tional retail space will be any more success-
ful than our existing inventory. This is com-
pounded by the placement of the retail com-
ponent and the activation of the surrounding
area and potential consumers.
The creation of a vital community space
that will serve as a gathering place is no
small task. Foster Citys current downtown
are our amazing parks. We gather there
through the week and on weekends to enjoy
our family activities or sports. They serve as
a place for our numerous events and celebra-
tions. Will the creation of a 10,000-foot area
surrounded by a parking lot and several
shops change that dynamic?
Edgewater Plaza has more than 120,000
square feet of retail and a boardwalk that
spans the waterfront. This is four times the
size of the proposed town center. But even
with its size and more than 40 different busi-
nesses, it has not become a substantial com-
ponent of our fragmented town gathering
effort. That is because it was never intended
to serve as such, nor is any other shopping
center.
Foster City is a community of neighbor-
hoods by design. Each was designed to host
a shopping center that would complement
and serve the needs of the adjacent resi-
dences. If we are to address this reality, we
will need to do so as part of a General Plan
redesign and an overall reconsideration of the
form and function of our retail center in rela-
tion to one another and regionally.
If any retail is to be successful, it must be
done so as part of the larger efforts of a sus-
tainable Foster City. This effort must include
all stakeholders including the residents, busi-
nesses, Chamber of Commerce, as well as
city staff and policy makers. We cannot
expect results unless we take the time to
understand the business environment and our
place within it locally and regionally. We
must create business that is sustainable.
These businesses must not compete but
rather complement existing inventory. In the
alternative, they must be unique and desir-
able to a signicant portion of local resi-
dents. We must also realize that we are not
now and may never be a destination for non-
residents.
The success of the 15-acre project does not
hinge on the retail component or town center.
Nor should it. The success of the project will
be dependent upon the sale and rental of the
lions share of residential units. The retail or
town center will be ancillary benets only if
they are well planned, executed and able to
be activated through a sustainable economic
development plan.

Vice presidential debate
Editor,
Joe Biden laughed, smirked and interrupted
Paul Ryan approximately 80 times during the

behaves with foreign diplomats the way he
behaved with Ryan during the debate, its no
wonder the Obama administrations foreign
policy is in such trouble.

Proposition 30
Editor,
Proposition 30 is the only initiative that
will stop the immediate and severe cuts
schools will face in January, which will total
$6 billion. Our public universities and com-
munity colleges will also be cut by another
$1 billion, causing severe reductions in offer-
ings, opportunities and a signicant increases
in tuition. By contrast, Proposition 38 will do
nothing to avoid this immediate cut, nor will
it ever provide assistance to our colleges or
universities.
If Proposition 30 fails, districts will be
forced to engage in another, and in many
cases much worse, round of cutbacks. The
school year may be reduced by 15 days,
which if continued would cause the average
student to lose more than a years worth of
education during his or her academic career.
Class sizes will increase, more programs and
support services will be eliminated and more
jobs will be lost.
By passing Proposition 30, the overwhelm-
ing majority of Californians will only be
asked to make a small, temporary investment
in our future. If passed, Proposition 30 will
increase the state sales tax by 0.25 percent
for four years, which is only 25 cents for
every $100 spent. The California Budget
Project estimates this investment will cost the
average middle class family less than $55 per
year. By contrast, Proposition 38 will
increase the income tax rate on virtually all
Californians, even those earning under
$15,000 per year.
Please join me, a local citizen, in support-
ing Proposition 30.

Expectations and deliverables Giving props
I
f I didnt know any better, Id think
California voters this Election Day will
weigh in on drug treatment programs all
over again and San Mateo County voters are
ready to re-up the sales tax dedicated to trans-
portation needs far short of its sunset date.
Vote for Prop.
36!, supportive
radio ads demand
of listeners and I
often catch myself
thinking, But they
did!
The county
needs Measure A!
cry the pro-sales
tax pundits and I
roll my eyes. Dont
they know this
effort won in a
2004 landslide?
But wait we
arent talking about the ghostly propositions of
elections past. And its not quite a matter of
same measure, different day.
For reasons beyond common sense, both
state and local elections ofces cant manage
to use letters and numbers different than those
already pretty well linked to highly-publicized
efforts of prior years. There may be something
to be said for the adage that everything old
being new again but the world of elections
gives this notion a whole new meaning.
Consider this the political equivalent of neon
colors and leggings fashion that just wont
go away. Guess that makes the Gray Davis
recall on par with acid wash.
Twelve years after the Substance Abuse and
Crime Prevention Act allowed non-violent
offenders a shot at rehab over jail, Proposition
36 is now a push to alter the states controver-
sial Three Strikes law.
Measure A is still a sales tax request of San
Mateo County voters but now it is a general
request for a variety of uses rather than a tax
earmarked for a specic laundry list of trans-
portation-related issues.
Proposition 30? Maybe this years version
will have better luck than its March 2000 pred-
ecessor on civil remedies for insurance claims.
Proposition 38? The 2000 school voucher ini-
tiative didnt fare very well. Guess this years
backers dont consider past failures a token of
bad luck.
Despite the common assumption that politics
is nothing but a game of smoke and mirrors,
the states proposition numbering system isnt
just another attempt to dazzle and confuse.
Historically, propositions received higher
and higher numbers until November 1998
when the count was reset. After that point,
propositions restarted the process with the
number 1 and is now reset in cycles. Hence,
we now have deja vu every time Proposition
1A shows up whether it be high-speed rail, tax
increases or rainy day funds.
The recycling explanation is rational
enough. Time has a way of shelving some of
the notoriety. Eighteen years ago, Proposition
187 was a reason for protests and charged
debate as factions bickered over illegal immi-
grants access to services and health care. Now,
the number has largely reverted back to the
penal code number for murder.
But some infamous propositions should be
retired indenitely like athletic numbers and
hurricane names. Despite the continuing use of
Proposition 13, few ever think of anything
other than property taxes. Proposition 8? Good
luck using that moniker for something other
than a same-sex marriage ban.
Perhaps the answer isnt running through
every number possible although Proposition
Pi or Innity would certainly be memorable
but it seems silly to reuse them with such great
frequency. Voters may not want to see
Proposition 56,512, for example, but it cer-
tainly would be less confusing than clarifying
Which one? with every mention.
Campaign season is challenging enough
even when each item on the ballot is well-
known and understood. Too bad elections of-
cials and political honchos arent keen to make
identication more straight-forward. Maybe
its time for a voter initiative.
Proposition 1A, anyone again?

Stocks rose on Monday after a strong
gain in retail spending suggested that con-
sumers could be getting more condent
about the economy. Bank stocks rose
broadly after Citigroup delivered a strong
earnings report.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose
95.38 points to close at 13,424.23, its
biggest gain since Sept. 13.
The Standard & Poors 500 index was
up 11.54 points at 1,440.13 and the
Nasdaq composite index rose 20.07 points
to 3,064.18.
Companies that rely on consumer
spending, like Lowes, TJX Cos. and Yum
Brands, rose after the government report-
ed that retail sales rose 1.1 percent in the
U.S. last month. The Commerce
Department also revised August growth
up to 1.2 percent, marking the two largest
gains since October 2010.
Sales rose in most major categories.
Electronics and appliances jumped 4.5
percent with help from the new iPhone.
Sales at auto dealers increased 1.3 percent.
Building materials and garden supplies,
furniture and clothing sales all gained, too.
The retail sales numbers tell us that the
economy in general, and consumer spend-
ing in particular, probably did better than
most expected in the third quarter, said
Hugh Johnson, chairman and chief invest-
ment ofcer of Johnson Illington
Advisors.
Citigroup rose $1.91, or 5.5 percent, to
$36.66 after beating beat Wall Street earn-
ings estimates.
Most other nancial stocks followed
Citi higher. Bank of America rose 3.5 per-
cent, and JPMorgan Chase rose 1.8 per-
cent. However, Wells Fargo continued to
struggle after reporting a record prot on
Friday. Analysts warned it might have
trouble making money on interest pay-
ments for loans. Its stock fell 1 percent on
Monday, after dropping on Friday, too.
Economic gures from China helped
support markets in Europe at the start of a
week that could offer greater clarity on the
economic fates of Greece and Spain.
Chinas ination rate fell to 1.9 percent
in September from 2 percent the month
before, reinforcing investor hopes for
more stimulus in the worlds second-
largest economy.
Good news for two major drugmakers
boosted pharmaceutical stocks and
pushed the whole health sector to the

Sources: PayPal planning layoffs
NEW YORK EBays PayPal unit is planning layoffs
in the coming weeks as it tries to refocus and operate
more like an agile startup than a large company, accord-
ing to people familiar with the matter.
These people spoke on the condition of anonymity
because they were not authorized to discuss the layoffs.
Bloomberg reported on Friday that the cuts could affect
as many as 400 jobs. PayPal has nearly 13,000 employ-
ees.
In a statement, PayPal said it has told employees about
plans to strengthen and simplify how it creates and
delivers products. It said it has not yet discussed how
these plans might affect jobs and did not confirm or deny
the possible layoffs.
Nonetheless, a person familiar with the matter said that
PayPal employees were told a few weeks ago that there
would be a reduction in workforce. The person did not
know how many jobs would be cut.
In a memo to staff sent on Friday, PayPal President
David Marcus told employees they may hear rumors
floating around about layoffs.
Yahoo CEO raids Google to hire top lieutenant
SAN FRANCISCO Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has
lured away one of Googles top advertising executives to
help engineer a turnaround at Yahoo.
Henrique de Castro is leaving Google to become
Yahoos chief operating officer in early next year.
The surprise move announced Monday is Mayers
highest profile hiring since she left Google Inc. in July to
run Yahoo Inc.
By raiding the ranks of her former employer, Mayer
risks raising tensions between Yahoo and Google.
The 47-year-old de Castro has been working at Google
since 2006. He is currently vice president of a major divi-
sion that works with Googles advertisers. De Castro will
begin work at Yahoo by Jan. 22.
To entice de Castro to defect, Yahoo is giving him a
compensation package valued at about $58 million.
Business briefs

WASHINGTON Americans spent
more money at retailers in September
a buying surge that reected growing
consumer condence and the launch of
the latest iPhone.
Retail sales jumped 1.1 percent last
month, producing the best two months
of sales in two years, according to g-
ures released Monday by the Commerce
Department.
The consumer is back, said Joel
Naroff, chief economist at Naroff
Economic Advisors. They are not
spending money like it is going out of
style, but they are spending at a more
normal pace that is consistent with a
moderately growing economy.
The spike in spending could boost
sluggish growth and help revitalize
President Barack Obamas campaign
after a strong debate performance by
challenger Mitt Romney.
The increase comes only 10 days after
a report that unemployment fell to its
lowest level since Obama took ofce.
And it follows a survey last week by the
University of Michigan that showed con-
sumer condence rose in early October
to a ve-year high. Stocks climbed after
the retail report. The Dow Jones indus-
trial average gained 95 points to close up
at 13,424. Broader indexes also rose.
Businesses appeared to be banking on
a resurgent consumer.
A second Commerce Department
report Monday showed companies
increased their stockpiles in August by
0.6 percent after a slightly larger gain in
July. Companies typically step up
restocking when they anticipate sales
will rise in coming months.
The retail sales report is the govern-
ments rst monthly look at consumer
spending. Consumer spending is critical
because it drives nearly 70 percent of
economic activity.
In September, retailers saw gains in
almost every major category. That con-
trasted with Augusts retail sales, which
rose almost entirely on the strength of
auto sales and higher gas prices.
Sales of electronics and appliances
last month swelled 4.5 percent, in part
because of iPhone sales. Sales at auto
dealers increased 1.3 percent. Building
materials and garden supplies, furniture
and clothing sales all gained, too.
Some of the September increase also
reected higher food and gas prices. If
those prices continue to rise, consumers
could cut back elsewhere, and that could
keep growth from accelerating.
But economists pointed to a key meas-
ure of sales that rose a solid 0.9 percent
without counting autos and gas station
sales.
Consumers give U.S. retail sales a lift
By Yuri Kageyama

NEW YORK Sprint, the No. 3 cell-
phone company in the U.S., is selling a
controlling stake to Japans Softbank for
$20.1 billion.
The deal, announced Monday in
Tokyo, positions Sprint Nextel Corp. as
a stronger competitor to U.S. market
leaders Verizon Wireless and AT&T, but
it doesnt solve all of the companys
underlying problems.
Sprint, which is based in Overland
Park, Kan. has been limping along since
2005, when it bought Nextel. The merg-
er quickly turned sour, saddling Sprint
with the cost of running two incompati-
ble networks while customers ed.
Softbank Corp., a holding company
with investments in Internet and telecom
businesses, made its own venture into
the wireless world in 2005, with the
acquisition of Vodafone Japan. It turned
that business around, giving President
Masayoshi Son the condence that he
can make Sprint a protable company
again after ve straight years of losses.
Sprint CEO Dan Hesse has laid the
groundwork for a turnaround the
companys reputation for customer serv-
ice has improved during his tenure. But
his efforts havent had an immediate
impact on protability. On its own, the
company would have a hard road ahead,
as it pays for both a network revamp and
$15.5 billion in iPhones from Apple.
Under the deal, Sprint shareholders
can turn in 55 percent of their shares to
Softbank in exchange for $7.30 per
share. Sprint shares were up just 3 cents
at $5.76 in morning trading Monday,
suggesting that investors had accurately
pegged the value of the transaction last
week, when they sent the stock up 14
percent based on reports of talks
between Softbank and Sprint.
Softbanks is paying $12.1 billion for
the 55-percent stake. Its buying an addi-
tional $8 billion worth of shares from the
company, for a total stake of 70 percent.
That investment will dilute the value of
existing shares, and is the reason
Sprints stock didnt trade higher on
Monday.
Softbank to buy 70 percent of Sprint for $20.1B
SAN DIEGO A research firm says
California homes prices rose during
September to new a four-year high as
the supply of foreclosed homes for sale
dwindled.
DataQuick said Monday that the
median price for new and existing
houses and condominiums reached
$287,000, up 15.3 percent from
$249,000 in September 2011. It is the
highest median price since August
2008.
Nearly 34,500 homes sold, down
nearly 3 percent from last year.
DataQuick says there were fewer
business days this September com-
pared to the same period last year.
Less than 18 percent of existing
homes sold were in foreclosure during
the previous year, compared to more
than one of every three sold a year ear-
lier.
Foreclosed homes tend to sell at
steep discounts, dragging down the
median price.
State home prices rise in September, sales fall

It isnt a coincidence that Anthony
Shkuratov is one of the captains on the
South San Francisco High School foot-
ball team.
Sure, hes a great running back and
an even better linebacker for the 2-0
Warriors. But if you take a step back
and examine South Citys ups and
downs over the last couple of seasons,
its no coincidence that as Shkuratov
goes, so do the Warriors.
And perhaps thats the most telling
attribute of a true captain.
For example, take the end of the 2011
season. South Citys biggest injury of
the year happened during the CCS
Division II seminal against Pioneer
High School. In that game, Shkuratov
went out with a leg injury early on and,
psychologically, the team never recov-
ered.
In the early parts of 2012, with
Shkuratov adjusting and struggling at
the quarterback position, the Warriors
got off to a 1-3 non-league start.
But when Frank Moro and the rest of
the South City coaching staff moved
Shkuratov back to the running back
position, a place where No. 6 could
pound the football and impose his will
on defenses, the Warriors really took
off.
Initially, it wasnt like he was devas-
tated, but he wasnt totally thrilled,
Moro said of the move. But hes taken
it and hes excited about it. Were look-
ing to do other things with him too. As
the offense starts getting a little more
experienced, hell get involved in other
things.
His current involvement is proving to
be more than enough. Last week, dur-
ing their Peninsula Athletic League
Ocean Division showdown with Menlo

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
It was a career day for Menlos Jack
Heneghan albeit with losing results.
The junior quarterback, who has
been putting up All-League numbers
all season, threw for a career-high 342
yards passing on 19 completions
three of them touchdowns for the
Knights against South San Francisco.
Unfortunately for Heneghan and the
Knights, South City proved too potent
in its rushing attack Friday afternoon
and beat Menlo 43-39.
Heneghan also ran for 44 yards and a
score.
Giants find offense, tie the NLCS
SAN FRANCISCO Marco Scutaro
answered Matt Hollidays hard takeout with a
big hit of his own to help the San Francisco
Giants end their home slide.
Scutaro hit a two-run single in San
Franciscos four-run fourth inning to help
the Giants get their first home win this post-
season, 7-1 over the St. Louis Cardinals on
Monday night that tied the NL champi-
onship series at one game apiece.
The game got off to a testy start when
Holliday barreled into Scutaro at second base
to break up a potential double play in the rst
inning. The play riled up a crowd that had seen
three straight losses by the Giants so far this
postseason.
There was plenty to cheer all night for the
Giants. Ryan Vogelsong pitched seven strong
innings, Angel Pagan hit a leadoff homer to
give San Francisco its rst home lead this post-
season, and Scutaro broke the game open with
his single off Chris
Carpenter.
Making Scutaros hit
even sweeter for the
Giants was the fact that
Holliday misplayed the
ball in left eld, allowing a
third run to score on the
error.
Scutaro left after ve innings because of an
injured left hip, and was going for X-rays.
The series now shifts to St. Louis for three
games, starting with Game 3 on Wednesday
when San Francisco ace Matt Cain takes on
Kyle Lohse of the Cardinals.
The Giants also beneted from a missed call
by an umpire in the eighth inning after St.
Louis center elder Jon Jay made a spectacular,
diving catch to rob Brandon Crawford of a hit.

SANTA CLARA Jim Harbaugh didnt
spend any time wallowing Monday after the
most lopsided loss in his two seasons as coach
of the San Francisco 49ers.
He has only three days
to prepare his team for
Thursdays key NFC West
game against Seattle,
which is tied with the
49ers and Arizona
Cardinals at 4-2, and he
might have to do it with-
out the services of Pro

Staley.
Staley is visiting a neurologist after suffer-
ing a concussion during Sundays 26-3 loss to
the New York Giants, who recorded six sacks
while winning a physical battle in the trenches
on both sides of the line.
It certainly wouldnt be very human if you
didnt hurt today, Harbaugh said. But
theres no time. Youve got to dust yourself off
and ride. Right now we have no choice. We
have to get to Seattle right quick. Weve got a

DALLAS Mike Modano made his mark
long before he and the Minnesota North Stars
relocated to Dallas and brought hockey to the
Sun Belt.
Once he got there in 1993, he didnt miss a
beat.
Modano, the highest-scoring U.S.-born
player in NHL history, joined longtime New
Jersey Devils president and general manager
Lou Lamoriello, and player-turned-broadcast-
er Ed Olczyk, as the newest inductees to the
U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame on Monday night.
Modano lived up to his billing after being
chosen with the rst pick of the 1988 NHL
draft.
By the time he retired in 2011, the Livonia,
Mich., native was the Stars leader in games
played (1,459), goals (557), assists (802) and
points (1,359). He also holds franchise records
with 145 playoff points in a club-high 174
games.
Modano, who played his nal NHL season
with the Detroit Red Wings, leads U.S.-born
players in goals (561) and points (1,374).
Olczyk was taken with the No. 3 pick in the
1984 draft by his hometown Chicago
Blackhawks and went on to play 16 years in
the NHL after starting his career as an 18-year
old rookie.
Olczyk nished with 342 goals and 794
points in 1,031 games with Chicago, the
Toronto Maple Leafs, the Winnipeg Jets, the
New York Rangers, the Los Angeles Kings
and the Pittsburgh Penguins.
He returned to the Blackhawks for his last
two years in the NHL and retired in 2000.
Olczyk is now NBCs lead hockey game ana-
lyst.
Modano tops list of new U.S. Hockey HOFs
KANSAS CITY, Kan. Jurgen Klinsmann
promised to bring an attacking style to the
U.S. national team when the former Germany
striker took the reins of the program more than
a year ago.
His approach wont change even when a tie
would suit the Americans just ne.
The U.S. merely needs to draw with
Guatemala on Tuesday night for both teams to
advance from Group A in the seminals of
World Cup qualifying, while a result one way
or the other would give Jamaica an outside
chance of squeaking through to the nal
round.
Dont expect either team to bunker down,
though.
Especially the Americans.
Our approach to the game is clear. We want
to win this game. You can only win a game if
you attack and go forward, and thats what
were going to do, Klinsmann said before a
nal training session at Livestrong Sporting
Park on Monday. Were not going to look for
a tie.
Even though that might be the prudent
move.
The U.S. set up the enviable situation with a
ragged 2-1 victory over Antigua and Barbuda
on Friday, a game that was played on a tiny
cricket pitch-turned-quagmire.
The performance wasnt a thing of beauty,
either. The Americans struggled through the
wind and were hampered by the tight quarters
of the eld, and needed a pair of goals from
Eddie Johnson to beat the last-place team in
its group. Johnsons header in the 90th minute
secured the victory.
Were honest enough with ourselves to
look at things and say, This needs to be bet-
ter, midelder Michael Bradley said. I can
assure you the mentality, the spirit within the
group is really good. A quality of a big team is
to come away with points, to come away with
wins, on days when you dont play your best,
when conditions arent perfect. We take great
pride in that.
The fact that Johnson played the role of
hero Friday night was a testament to
Klinsmanns approach to building the U.S.
team. He sat popular forward Jozy Altidore
while making the move, even though Johnson
had not played for the national team since
May 2010.
Johnsons last goal had come in an 8-0 romp
against Barbados in 2008.
We always have an open-door policy
where something can open and well see
where it leads. Eddie Johnson is part of that,
Klinsmann said. He got his chance and he
took his chance.
Johnsons slide from promising young
superstar to overlooked has-been can be
traced to his ultimately unsuccessful move to
Europe. Now that hes back in Major League
Soccer with the Seattle Sounders, Johnson has
slowly managed to regain the condence that
had been lost.
When youre in and out of teams, you
dont play to your strength, he said. I just
think hard work pays off. Ive been putting in
the hard work and this is all a bonus.
Johnsons big night in St. Johns, Antigua,
certainly came at an opportune time. The ros-
ter at Klinsmanns disposal keeps shrinking
due to injuries and suspensions.
Midelder Jermaine Jones returned to his
German club during the weekend after receiv-
ing a yellow card Friday night that meant he
would be suspended for the game against
Guatemala.
Landon Donovan has been out with a knee
injury, Brek Shea with an abdominal strain
and Edgar Castillo with a foot injury, while
Fabian Johnson did not make the trip to
Kansas City because of u so severe that he
was briefly hospitalized with concerns it
might be salmonella-related.
That means Klinsmann has just 16 eld
players available for Tuesday nights game.
U.S. playing to win against
Guatemala in WC qualifier
School, Shkuratov led a rushing
attack that amassed 420 yards of
rushing offense in a huge 43-39
come-from-behind thriller.
Shkuratov accounted for 179 of
those yards and three touchdowns.
For his efforts, Shkuratov is the
Daily Journal Athlete of the Week.
Thats the kind of backs we get,
Moro said of Shkuratovs bruising
running style. They just go straight
ahead and hit holes they t the
y scheme, t the system good. And
its worked for us. We just get tough
kids that run hard and Tony ts that
perfect.
Shkuratov is no-nonsense with is
running approach. And in a game
like Fridays, there was no reason
for South City to switch their style.
We thought we were the more
physical team, even up front with
the offensive line we felt we could
pretty much dictate the game on the
ground, Moro said. Our offensive
line has been steady all year so it
was definitely part of the game
plan.
Shkuratovs first touchdown of
the game came just before the end
of the rst quarter. It cut the Menlo
lead in half and after Menlo
regained it in emphatic fashion, a
steady dose of Shkuratov and Keven
Cuhna sliced that 14-point advan-
tage in half again.
But it was during the third quarter
that South City and Shkuratov real-
ly did its damage. The Warriors out-
gained Menlo 138 to -3 yards in that
period and it was Shkuratovs 40-
yard touchdown run that gave South
City its rst lead of the game 29-26.
And after the Knights regained the
lead, Shkuratov did it to Menlo
again, this time from a yard away
with 8:20 left in the game.
Perhaps overlooked in that game
was Shkuratovs defensive play at
linebacker. With Menlos spread
offense, Shkuratov was forced away
from the line of scrimmage and into
coverage. Moro and his staff irted
with nickel and dime packages that
might have taken Shkuratov off the
eld. But Moro knew better than to
take his best defender and have him
watch from the sideline.
Ive always thought thats his
best position, Moro said. Hes an
outstanding linebacker. Hes an
instinctual guy. This week, when we
go against a running team, hell be
in on every tackle.
Shkuratovs injury last season
motivated him to train extra hard
this summer. And its that motiva-
tion and hard work that the Warriors
see in their captain.
Tony is one of our captains,
Moro said, but hes not leading the
jumping jacks. Hes more of a guy
thats going to out and play his
game and people will see. Tony is
just a tough kid. Hes just going to
go out there and play football. He
loves to play football.
SPORTS 13
to play. The Cherokees will get a
chance to see if they will be a play-
er this season as they face the
Warriors today. Next Tuesday,
South City will face Woodside.
That could be the match to deter-
mine the Ocean Division champi-
onship.
Girls tennis: It appears the Bay
Division title will be decided today
at 4 p.m. when second-place
Menlo-Atherton travels to Belmont
to take on undefeated Carlmont.
The Scots have a one-game lead
over the Bears and have the inside
track to the division championship,
an exemption from the PAL team
tournament and an automatic
Central Coast Section bid.
Even with a loss, however, M-A
still has a great chance of being the
top seed in the PAL tournament,
which takes the second-, third- and
fourth-place nishers from the Bay
along with the Ocean Division
champion. The winner of the PAL
tournament gets the PALs second
automatic bid to CCS. As things
stand right now, M-A would be the
top seed and would face Half
Moon Bay, which has all but
wrapped up the Ocean Division
title following the Cougars win
over second-place Sequoia last
week. The other potential PAL
tournament matchup would be
third-place Burlingame against
fourth-place Aragon. That could be
an intriguing match considering the
two teams have split their meetings
this year.
Girls golf: San Mateo nished
the regular season unbeaten and
earned the PALs automatic bid to
the CCS playoffs for the second
year in a row. The Bearcats have
gone 14-0 over the last two seasons
in league play.
The only thing left is to decide a
PAL individual champion, which
will take place next week at Poplar
Creek Golf Course. Aragons Kelly
Fang is the defending champion
and she showed a lot of heart and
grit in holding off M-As Xin Fang
last year. Xin Fang, however, has
upped her game with tons of junior
tournaments over the summer. The
biggest question is can Xin Fang,
who won the individual title two
years ago, reclaim her crown from
Kelly Fang? Or will someone else
jump up and surprise everyone?
History suggests no, but thats why
they play the game.
Girls water polo: CCS power
Castilleja is the team to beat in the
Bay Division and the Gators are
already off to a 2-0 start in the ve-
match league season. M-A, also in
the mix for the championship, will
square off against Castilleja in the
second-to-last regular season match
of the season, presumably with the
Bay championship on the line.
In the Ocean Division, Woodside
is top of the table with only one
loss, but there are a gaggle of
teams in hot pursuit: Menlo School
and Mercy-Burlingame are both a
game back, while fourth-place
Hillsdale is two games behind the
Wildcats. There are six matches
left in the regular season and there
are still a number of key matchups
between the top teams still to be
played. This one probably wont be
decided until the nal week of the
season.
Boys water polo: The Bay
Division appears to have a new
champion. After 19 straight Bay
Division titles, Menlo School will
probably nish a game behind
Menlo-Atherton, which held off the
Knights 11-10 last week. While
there are still ve matches left to
play in the regular season, Menlo
and M-A are both head and shoul-
ders better than the rest of the
league. A loss by either team the
rest of the way would be shocking.
The Ocean Division is much
more uid. Half Moon Bay and
Sequoia are tied for the top spot
with 6-1 records. Mills is one game
back, while Terra Nova still has an
outside shot at two games behind.
Sequoia has a chance to make
Terra Novas task that much harder
with a matchup today, while Half
Moon Bay takes on Mills. Sequoia
and Half Moon Bay have already
completed their two-match series
this season, so both will need to
win out to guarantee at least a tie
for the title.
Girls cross country: After dom-
inating the PAL for the last decade,
it appears Carlmont will need a big
nish at the PAL championships if
the Scots want to continue their run
of PAL titles. The Scots currently
sit in a tie for third with Aragon
after the rst two league meets this
season.
The good news for the Scots is
the PAL championships is good for
twice the points. But that also gives
rst-place Menlo-Atherton a
chance to sew up the title itself.
The Bears lead the 17-team stand-
ings, but have only a three-point
advantage over Half Moon Bay.
With so many teams bunched so
closely together, the PAL champi-
onships Oct. 27 could be a wild
nish to the regular season.
Boys cross country: While the
Carlmont girls may be looking up,
the Carlmont boys team is, as
usual, staring down at everyone
else as the Scots are in rst place.
Not far behind, however, is Half
Moon Bay, just two points behind.
Carlmont has won the rst two
league races, with Half Moon Bay
coming in second each time. It
would be a monumental upset if
the Cougars could swap places
with the Scots at the PAL champi-
onships.
And speaking of the PAL cham-
pionships, for the rst time in my
time with the Daily Journal
which started in the spring of 2001
the nal PAL race of the year
will take place on a Saturday
instead of the traditional Thursday.

AOTW
Rai Lal, Mills football
It took the senior quarterback one game to
duplicate what the entire Mills program did
over the last three seasons win a league
matchup.
Lal was sharp under center Friday night in
the Vikings 28-13 win over Carlmont. No. 9
was 8 of 14 passing for 157 yards and three
touchdowns all in the rst half. The fast
start was exactly what Mills needed to hold
off the charging Scots.
I was feeling it, Lal said after the game.
We just came in and knew we had to do our
thing. We had a bye week so we had some
time to adjust. Carlmont is a great team, they
work hard. But we just came out and we exe-
cuted. My receivers were making plays, my
line was blocking without them, I cant do
much.
Ella McDonough, Carlmont volleyball
Talk about lling the stat sheet. With the
Scots chasing Menlo-Atherton in the PAL vol-
leyball standings, McDonough has taken her
overall game to a really high level.
While the Scots dropped their game against
the Bears last week, in two games, the junior
played exceptionally well. Against M-A,
McDonough had 17 kills, three blocks and six
digs albeit, in a loss.
But she and the Scots bounced back in a win
over Terra Nova two days later. In that match,
McDonough had 11 kills and two blocks.
Eric Redwood, Serra football
There will probably be a permanent spot in
the Daily Journal Honor Roll for the running
back from Serra High School.
Despite a heart-breaking loss to Bellarmine
Prep Saturday afternoon, No. 2 carried the
Padres back from a 14-
point decit and scored
Serras overtime touch-
down only to come up
two yards short on the 2-
point conversion attempt.
Still, Redwood tallied
180 yards rushing on 22
carries and four touch-
downs his 75-yard TD
run in the fourth quarter
was one of the plays of the
year.
Said Serra head coach Patrick Walsh of
Redwood: Hes an inspiring person. He has-
nt had a, lets call it, a smooth road all the
time. Hes traversed some different territory
and Im really proud of what hes done, as a
human being. And its reective in how hes
been running the ball for Serra. Were honored
to have him on our team.
Lisa Sasaki, San Mateo golf
The San Mateo Bearcats girls golf team has
all but locked up a share of the Peninsula
Athletic League title and it took a fantastic
effort by their sophomore No. 2 to get the job
done.
The Bearcats battled the other top two
teams in the PAL last week and came way
with a pair of big victories.
Sasaki shot back-to-back 37s. Her 37
against Burligame was 10 strokes better in a
28-point win over the Panthers. And then on
the Par-36 at Poplar Creek against Aragon,
Sasaki shot a +1 in leading the Bearcats past
the Dons 216-211.
PAL Lake running backs
Peninsula Athletic League Lake Division
fans: Right now would be a good time to mark
your calendars for Friday, Oct. 26, 7 p.m.
thats when two of the best rushers in the divi-
sion will go head-to-head
in Justin Ewing of
Capuchino and Line Latu
of San Mateo.
And it might be with
the division crown on the
line.
Latu returns to the
Honor Roll after another
stellar, play-making per-
formance against
Hillsdale where he rushed
for 235 yards and three touchdowns on 27 car-
ries, caught a screen pass that he turned into a
62-yard touchdown and recovered a fumble
and picked off a pass on defense. The Bearcats
are off to an 2-0 start and has won three
straight games for the rst time in the Jeff
Scheller era.
Ewing used Capuchinos bye week to
recharge his batteries and came out ring on
all cylinders against an El Camino defense
that was feeling good after shutting out
Hillsdale the week before. No. 40 carried the
ball 39 times for 240 yards and a touchdown.
Ewing has now rushed for 1,587 yards on 211
carries and 14 touchdowns.
South City running backs
When you put up 420 yards rushing in a
game, you deserve a shoutout. The Warriors
completely dominated Menlo on the ground
last Friday in a 43-39 win. Orlando Garcia had
91 yards rushing, Keven Cuhna rushed for a
tough 149 on 27 carries and Anthony
Shkuratov scored three touchdowns to go
along with his 179 yards on the ground.
We worked hard and were not a bad
team, said South City head coach Frank
Moro. They came out and we wanted to hold
them under 40 [points] and ... the only way we
were going to keep them under 40 is keeping
the ball out of their hands. We thought we
were more physical than them. It was a matter
of good clock management.
Briey ... Kallan Bedard of Carlmont vol-
leyball, tied a career high with 29 kills and set
a new career mark with 37 digs in the Scots
5-set loss to M-A. ... Kylie Goo of Westmoor
cross country won her second straight PAL
meet, nishing the Westmoor course with a
time of 14:18, nearly a minute faster than the
second-place nisher. Goo is the reigning
Daily Journal Girls Track Athlete of the Year.
... Morgan Olson-Fabbro of M-A boys water
polo, scored six goals in an 11-10 win over
rival Menlo School. ... Nick Bisconti of Menlo
boys water polo scored ve goals in that same
11-10 match and added ve in a 12-9 loss to
Las Lomas. ... Aldo Severson returns to the
Honor Roll after another solid performance.
The Aragon wide receiver is the face of a
revamped Aragon offense that is loving the
pass. Severson caught ve passes for 117
yards and three touchdowns (30, 8 and 65
yards) in the Dons blowout of Half Moon
Bay. ... Tasi Teu of Menlo-Atherton football
had himself a complete game against
Burlingame. In a 28-21 win, the running back
rushed for 117 yards and scored the game-
winning Pick-6 from 55 yards out.

For now, Lincecum set as Game 4 NLCS starter
SAN FRANCISCO Tim
Lincecum is set to start Game 4 of
the NL championship series for the
San Francisco Giants on Thursday,
as long as hes not needed in relief
for Monday nights Game 2.
Manager Bruce Bochy said
before the game that Lincecum told
him he felt fine to pitch again
Monday after throwing two hitless
innings in Sunday nights 6-4 Game
1 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.
But Bochy would prefer to stay
away from him considering the
struggles of lefty starters Madison
Bumgarner and Barry Zito this
postseason as one of them would
be needed for Game 5.
Bochy called it a good possibili-
ty Lincecum would get the ball for
a start at Busch Stadium.
The two-time NL Cy Young
Award winner has pitched in relief
three times this postseason. He was
demoted to the bullpen after posting
a 10-15 record and NL-worst 5.18
ERA in the regular season, but has
found his stride so far in the play-
offs.
If he starts, Ill be eager to see
him the way hes throwing the
ball, Bochy said. Well see how
todays game goes. Wed like to
have that option and have him for
Game 4.
Lincecum pitched the 2010 Game
5 World Series clincher for the
Giants at Texas as the franchise
captured its first championship
since moving West in 1958.
He has allowed one run and three
hits in 8 1-3 innings this October,
striking out nine and walking just
one. After pitching two strong
innings in San Franciscos Game 1
loss, Lincecum said his bullpen
stint has helped his condence.
I just try to go in there and get
outs when Im asked to, he said.
Thats pretty much my mindset.
With Bumgarner struggling in his
rst two starts this postseason
both at home where he has been so
good and Zito failing to make it
out of the third inning in his one
playoff start at Cincinnati, Bochy
had little choice but to put
Lincecum back in the rotation.
Jay threw toward first and the
Cardinals should have gotten a dou-
ble play, but rst base umpire Bill
Miller did not see Allen Craig tag
Gregor Blancos jersey as he raced
back to rst on the play.
St. Louis manager Mike Matheny
argued the call and the umpires hud-
dled to discuss it, but they kept the
safe call even though replays
showed Craig made the tag. The
Giants capitalized when Ryan
Theriot hit a two-run single to make
it 7-1.
Back at Busch Stadium, Holliday
will be cheered after being the target
of boos all night following his
aggressive play on the basepaths.
With runners on rst and second
and one out, Craig hit a bouncer to
Crawford, and the shortstop quickly
ipped to Scutaro for the forceout.
Holliday, a former high school
football star in Oklahoma, came
tumbling in and slid late into
Scutaro, crushing his left leg to pre-
vent up the double play. Scutaro lay
on the ground twisting in pain while
trainer Dave Groeschner and man-
ager Bruce Bochy ran out of the
dugout to attend to the second base-
man.
Vogelsong got out of the jam by
retiring Yadier Molina on a ground-
out and Scutaro stayed in the game
with a limp until being replaced in
the sixth by Theriot.
By then, he had done his damage
with the bat in the big fourth inning.
The rally started innocently
enough with a bloop, opposite eld
double by Brandon Belt and a chop-
per over third baseman David
Freese by Blanco. Crawford then hit
a bouncer between the mound and
rst base that Carpenter elded and
threw away toward rst base. It
appeared Crawford may have
impeded Carpenter by running
inside the baseline but the Cardinals
did not argue the play.
With the bases loaded and two
outs, Scutaro lined his single to left-
center that Holliday misplayed to
the delight of Giants fans, putting
Carpenter and the Cardinals into a
5-1 hole.
Vogelsong made the lead hold up
by becoming the rst Giants starter
to make it through six innings this
postseason. He allowed four hits
and one run for his rst career post-
season win.

football ght coming.
The loss to the Giants came after
two dominant victories over New
Yorks two other NFL teams. San
Francisco overpowered the Jets 34-0
on Sept. 30 then set a franchise
record with 621 yards of total
offense the next week during a 45-3
rout of the Buffalo Bills.
But just as their impressive sea-
son-opening wins over Green Bay
and Detroit were followed by a
clunker against Minnesota, the 49ers
hardly had the look of one of the
leagues elite teams against the
Giants.
The much-anticipated rematch of
last seasons NFC championship
game won 20-17 in overtime by
the Giants became a blowout by
the third quarter as New York scored
the games nal 26 points. It was the
rst time a Harbaugh-coached 49ers
team had lost by more than 10
points.
I was pretty kind of blown away,
said right guard Alex Boone, who
moved to left tackle after Staley was
hurt late in the third quarter. Its
hard to sit here and talk about it now
because all I have on my mind right
now is Seattle. But we have to come
back and look at it this weekend
after the Seattle game to nd where
did we go wrong, what did we do
wrong. We have to make this better
because we cant have this happen
the rest of the year.
The 49ers unraveled offensively
after a strong start during which they
held a 125-20 edge in total yards
entering the second quarter.
Alex Smith entered the game as
the NFLs top-rated quarterback but
left it with three interceptions after
throwing just one pick in San
Franciscos rst ve games. After
two 12-play drives to begin the
game, the 49ers recorded just one
rst down in each of the second and
third quarters and never had a drive
advance beyond the New York 24-
yard line.
Add missed eld goals from 43
and 52 yards by All-Pro kicker
David Akers, and it was a very
uncharacteristic outing for the 49ers.
Its easy to look at yesterdays
game and ask questions about pretty
much everything, Smith said.
49ERS
ALAMEDA Dennis Allen has
seen improvement on just about
every part of his team. With only
one win in ve games, the Oakland
Raiders rookie coach realizes its
not enough.
Not even taking unbeaten Atlanta
to the wire before losing on Matt
Bryants 55-yard eld goal in the
nal seconds provided Allen with a
sense that Oakland has turned the
corner.
Weve got to learn how to nish
and win those types of games,
Allen said Monday. Thats what
our job is. This is a production busi-
ness. Its about winning and losing,
and we werent able to get it done
yesterday.
The Raiders put up season highs
in rushing yards (149) and total
offense (474) while the defense held
the Falcons to 286 yards and inter-
cepted Atlanta quarterback Matt
Ryan three times after getting zero
through their rst four games.
Denite progress, though at 1-4
its difcult to see.
I definitely feel like were
improving, rookie linebacker Miles
Burris said. But I dont believe in
moral victories and I dont feel good
about losing. A loss is a loss and a
wins a win.
Help could be on the way at
least for the defense.
Linebacker Aaron Curry is
expected to come off the physically
unable to perform list and join the
Raiders in practice Wednesday.
Curry started nine games last year
for Oakland after being acquired in
an October trade from Seattle but
has not played since undergoing
knee surgery in the offseason.
The Raiders will have a roster
exemption for three weeks while
deciding what to do with Curry, who
must be added to the 53-man roster,
be cut or placed on injured reserve
when the exemption expires.
We anticipate him practicing on
Wednesday and well start from
there, Allen said. Were going to
get him out there and let him run
around, see where hes at and begin
the evaluation process to gure out
if and when hes going to be avail-
able on the roster.
The fourth overall pick in 2009,
Curry lined up primarily as a weak-
side linebacker for Oakland last
season but also spent time in the
middle when Rolando McClain was
hurt.
While citing concern over Currys
conditioning he hasnt played in
a game of any sort since Jan. 1
Allen said the team is comfortable
using Curry anywhere in the
defense.
Weve got a plan in place for him
to be able to potentially play in any
of those three spots, Allen said.
Health-wise hes going to be OK.
Its the fact of being able to get back
into football shape and football con-
dition, really in a short period of
time.
Currys addition comes as the
Raiders are shaking things up in
their nickel package on defense.
Raiders improve but Allen knows more needed

HEALTH 17
By Kate Brumback
ATLANTA Scattered across the
carefully landscaped main campus of the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention are the staff on the front lines
ghting a rare outbreak of fungal menin-
gitis: A scientist in a white lab coat peers
through a microscope at fungi on a glass
slide. In another room, another
researcher uses what looks like a long,
pointed eye dropper to suck up DNA
samples that will be tested for the sus-
pect fungus.
Not far away in another building is the
emergency operations center, which is
essentially the war room. Theres a low
hum of voices as employees work the
phones, talking to health ofcials, doc-
tors and patients who received potential-
ly contaminated pain injections believed
to be at the root of the outbreak. Workers
sit at rows of computers, gathering data,
advising doctors and reaching out to
thousands of people who may have been
exposed. Overall, dozens of people are
working day and night to bring the out-
break under control. More than 200 peo-
ple in 14 states have been sickened,
including 15 who have died.
There is a sense of urgency people
are dying, and lives could be saved if
those who are sickened get treated in
time. But its not a race against a fast-
spreading illness like avian u or SARS
or even the ctional virus the CDC
fails to unravel in the popular TV series
The Walking Dead. Unlike those out-
breaks, this strain of meningitis isnt
contagious and doesnt spread between
people. It is likely isolated to the con-
taminated steroid, produced by the New
England Compounding Center in
Framingham, Mass.
This is a very unusual infection, said
Dr. John Jernigan, a CDC medical epi-
demiologist who is leading the clinical
investigation team for the outbreak
response. So, treatment recommenda-
tions, diagnostic recommendations are
all going to be new, and were learning
as we go on this one.
Meningitis, an inammation of the
membranes surrounding the brain and
spinal cord, is not uncommon. But it is
usually caused by bacteria, and it is very
unusual to see it in patients with normal
immune systems, Jernigan said. This
strain is caused by a fungus that is com-
mon in dirt and grasses people rou-
tinely come into contact with it without
getting sick but it has never before
been identied as the cause of meningi-
tis.
By Friday morning, ofcials believed
they had reached about 90 percent of
Scientists fight to halt a deadly outbreak
By Mike Stobbe
NEW YORK Two more drugs from a specialty phar-
macy linked to a meningitis outbreak are now being inves-
tigated, U.S. health ofcials said, as they urged doctors to
contact patients who got any kind of injection from the
company.
The New England Compounding Center of Framingham,
Mass., has been under scrutiny since last month, when a
rare fungal form of meningitis was linked to its steroid shots
used mostly for back pain.
Mondays step by the Food and Drug Administration fol-
lowed reports of three new infections. One is a report of a
FDA says pharmacys other
drugs may be causing illness

those who were potentially affected, Jernigan
said. They planned to continue trying to reach
every person to see if theyve had problems
and to warn them to be on the lookout for
symptoms, which can include severe
headache, nausea, dizziness and fever. The
CDC says many of the cases have been mild,
but some people had strokes.
A meeting is held each morning to review
overnight developments and plot a course of
action for the day, and another at the end of
the day summarizes the days developments
and looks ahead to the next day. Maps on big
screens in the front of the emergency opera-
tions center track the states where the tainted
medications were sent and the tally of cases
reported in affected states.
A few steps away in the joint information
center, another team works to keep the infor-
mation about the outbreak on the CDCs web-
site up to date and disseminate information via
the media and other outlets.
In another building on the campus tucked
away in the northeast corner of Atlanta, in a
part of the CDC that specializes in fungal
infections, about 15 scientists in the reference
and research labs are logging 12 hours or
more a day and working through weekends to
test samples coming in from around the coun-
try.
Because the lab scientists had never
worked with this particular fungus in cere-
brospinal fluid before, they had to quickly
develop new tests to detect it before they
could start analyzing the hundreds of sam-
ples cerebrospinal fluid samples, cul-
tures and bits of tissue sent in from
around the country, research lab team
leader Ana Litvintseva said.
Dressed in a white coat Friday, Shawn
Lockhart, the fungal reference lab team
leader, peered through a microscope as
images of what looked like red pea pods
appeared on a computer screen next to him.
Many other closely related fungi look simi-
lar, but a tiny dot at the end of a pod told him
he was looking at the fungus believed to be at
the root of the outbreak.
ILLNESS
possible meningitis illness in a patient who
got a spine injection of another type of
steroid made by the company. The agency
also learned of two heart transplant patients
who got fungal infections after being given
a third company product during surgery.
The illnesses are under investigation, and
its very possible the heart patients were
infected by another source, FDA officials
cautioned. They did not say whether the
meningitis case involved a fungal infection
or where three infections occurred.
As of Monday, the current outbreak has
sickened 214 people, including 15 who
have died, in 15 states. For weeks, officials
have been urging doctors to contact
patients who got shots of the companys
steroid methylprednisolone acetate, advise
them about the risks of fungal infection,
and urge them to take any meningitis symp-
toms seriously.
The steroid was recalled last month, and
the company later shut down operations
and recalled all the medicines it makes.
The FDA on Monday expanded its advice
to doctors to contact all patients who got
any injection made by the company, includ-
ing steroids and drugs used in eye surgery
as well as heart operations. The agency said
it took the step out of an abundance of
caution as it investigates the new reports
involving the heart surgery drug and the
second steroid, called triamcinolone ace-
tonide.
The company did not immediately com-
ment on the latest FDA advisory. Nearly all
the 214 illnesses in the outbreak are fungal
meningitis; two people had joint infections.
suggested residents could be required to have
parking permits if so desired that GESC mem-
ber Sam Herzberg said was an example of
missing considerations in the nal EIR. He
said developer Legacy Partners needs to
decrease the project to make it t the area
rather than trying to mitigate or ignore the
ramications.
Its nice to push all the impacts elsewhere
but its not really fair, he said.
Currently, the plan by Foster City-based
developer Legacy Partners would convert a
10.53-acre strip of land within the existing
Caltrain station and running parallel to the
railroad corridor. Legacys proposal envisions
eight four-story buildings with 281 housing
units among a mix of 407,298 square feet of
residential, 23,797 square feet of ofce space
and 14,326 square feet of retail space. The
project would also include 667 parking spaces
and a new SamTrans Transit Center on 4.29
acres. Legacy may include 15 percent of the
units as affordable or, as it appears to be lean-
ing, pay the city $8.5 million for in-lieu fees.
The Planning Commission is taking each
possible impact one-by-one, hearing from city
staff or consultants before opening up the
hearing to public comment. Last night, the
Planning Commission tackled transportation
and parking. First, though, it returned to noise
and Planning Manager Deborah Nelsons
report concluding that San Carlos ofcials can
ask that developers of the proposed Transit
Village improve the projects potential to
reect train noise but cant consider the sound
a signicant impact because it already exists
and is caused by transportation rather than the
buildings themselves. According to Nelson,
the citys general plan on noise standards
applies only to new noise sounds: that are
non-transportation related. As such, the
California Environmental Quality Act govern-
ing development analysis doesnt require mit-
igation measures.
Community Development Director Al
Savay said the question also is if the project
adds to the ambient baseline noise like car
doors shutting and if that is more signicant
by shifting the parking area down toward
Cherry Street. The answer, he said, is no.
At future hearings, the Planning
Commission must still address other concerns
like land use, visual and air quality and cul-
tural resources.
The project has long been a worry for resi-
dents who think the project will bring noise,
shadows, traffic and decreased property
prices. Eminent domain to snatch more land
for high-speed rail is another concern
although SamTrans, which owns the property,
has downplayed the possibility.
But as the Planning Commission and audi-
ence members took the nal EIR apart, sever-
al speakers said the issue needs to be consid-
ered holistically rather than piecemeal.
We need to consider this big plan in a big
way, said Cathleen Galgiani.

CHICAGO Shots that protect against
cervical cancer do not make girls promiscu-
ous, according to the rst study to compare
medical records for vaccinated and unvacci-
nated girls.
The researchers didnt ask girls about hav-
ing sex, but instead looked at markers of
sexual activity after vaccination against the
sexually transmitted human papillomavirus, or
HPV. Specically, they examined up to three
years of records on whether girls had sought
birth control advice; tests for sexually trans-
mitted diseases or pregnancy; or had become
pregnant.
Very few of the girls who got the shots at
age 11 or 12 had done any of those over the
next three years, or by the time they were 14 or
15. Moreover, the study found no difference in
rates of those markers compared with unvacci-
nated girls.
The study involved nearly 1,400 girls
enrolled in a Kaiser Permanente health plan in
Atlanta. Results were published online
Monday in Pediatrics.
Whether vaccination has any inuence on
similar markers of sexual activity in older
teens wasnt examined in this study but other
research has suggested it doesnt.
The study is the rst to use medical out-
comes data to examine consequences of HPV
vaccination and the results are comforting
and reassuring, said lead author Robert
Bednarczyk, a researcher at Kaiser and Emory
University. Both institutions paid for the study.
HPV is the leading cause of cervical cancer
and also has been linked with anal and oral
cancers in women and men.
The federal Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention and the American Academy of
Pediatrics recommend HPV shots for girls and
boys at age 11 or 12, before they have ever had
sex. Three doses are generally recommended
over six months.
Some parents have raised concerns that the
shots are a license to have sex, but the study
bolsters evidence against that concern, said Dr.
Elizabeth Alderman, an adolescent medicine
specialist at The Childrens Hospital at
Monteore in New York City. She was not
involved in the study.
A CDC study published in January suggest-
ed that the shots dont promote sexual activity
among older girls, but it relied on self-report-
ing, at ages 15 to 24. Thats a less reliable
method than the new study, Alderman said.
She has been a paid speaker for Merck & Co.,
which makes one of the two HPV vaccines
sold in the United States, but said she has no
current nancial ties to the company.
Study: HPV shots dont make girls promiscuous
By Justin Pritchard
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES Federal regulators
failed to pursue recalls after they found cad-
mium-tainted jewelry on store shelves,
despite their vow to keep the toxic trinkets
out of childrens hands, an Associated Press
investigation shows.
Officials at the U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission also have not warned
parents about the contaminated items already
in their homes.
More than two years after the AP revealed
that some Chinese factories were substitut-
ing cadmium for banned lead, the CPSC still
hasnt determined the extent of the contami-
nation.
Contaminated jewelry is surely less preva-
lent in the U.S. than before its widespread
presence was first documented. However,
rings, bracelets and pendants containing cad-
mium and marketed for preteen girls were
purchased over the last year. The AP and rep-
resentatives of two consumer groups were
able to buy the items in Los Angeles, subur-
ban San Francisco, central Ohio and upstate
New York.
Despite touting its work as a model of
proactive regulation, the agency tasked with
protecting Americans from dangerous every-
day products often has been reactive or
inactive.
Take a childrens jewelry sweep the
CPSC conducted at stores nationwide.
Testing showed that six different items on
shelves including one referred to as a
baby bracelet were hazardous by the
agencys guidelines. Yet the agency neither
pursued recalls nor warned the public about
the items, records and interviews show.
In addition, the CPSC allowed Wal-Mart
Stores Inc. and Meijer, a smaller Midwest
chain, to pull from shelves jewelry that
flunked safety testing without telling parents
who had previously purchased such items.
And it did not follow through on evidence it
developed that cadmium jewelry remains on
sale in local shops.
Agency staffers have consistently sided
with firms that argued their high-cadmium
items shouldnt be recalled not because
they were safe in the hands of kids, but
because they were deemed not to meet the
legal definition of a childrens product.
Also, the CPSC trusted retailers and jewelry
importers to self-police their inventories for
cadmium, but did not check whether they
had done so for at least a year.
In response to APs reporting, the CPSC
said it did all it could given limited
resources.
Feds fail on kid jewelry cadmium crackdown

absent, to seek funding for grade sepa-
ration but leave the possible design
open.
I think at some point we need to
realize its not going to happen, Deal
said in terms of the expensive trench-
ing and underground preference of the
city.
Deal was open to raising tracks at the
Broadway exchange. Councilman
Michael Brownrigg agreed but wanted
to engage the public in design if it gets
to that point.
Councilwoman Terry Nagel believes
the city could seek funds from a variety
of other areas to pay for the more
expensive options. Also, she advocated
for working with the city of San Mateo
which has also expressed an interest in
trenching tracks through downtown.
Putting the dream aside, Nagel was
open to the option of elevating tracks
and depressing the street.
Keighran expressed frustration with
the conversation.
I agree we need the grade separa-
tion. Theres no question about that.
But I dont know where they will get
the funding to do it even if we want to
do it, she said, adding that raising
tracks could be a future drawback
when advocating for depressed tracks
during downtown for high-speed rail
upgrades in the future.
Although not in attendance, Baylock
emailed her opinion on the topic. She
wrote the city should maintain its stand
for trenched tracks.
Six options are suggested to start the
conversation. They range from keeping
the rail at-grade and creating a street
overcrossing for $114 million to a
depressed rail with the street remaining
at-grade for $500 million, according to
a staff report by Public Works Director
Syed Murtuza. Those numbers are
from a 2009 study by the San Mateo
County Transportation Authority, the
agency that allocates Measure A
money.
Measure A, a half-cent sales tax that
funds transportation projects in San
Mateo County, offers $225 million to
grade separation projects throughout
the county over the 25-year program,
he wrote.
Theres no guarantee if we asked for
grade separation that well get one. But
its fairly certain if we dont, we
wont, said Murtuza.
Longtime resident Jeff Londer said
he doesnt want the rail to be raised at
all. He preferred lowering or even tun-
neling the tracks. However, Londer
understood money may not be avail-
able to make that happen yet suggested
the city continue to advocate for
below-grade tracks.
Burlingame has six at-grade railroad
crossings Broadway, Oak Grove
Avenue, North Lane, Howard Avenue,
Bayswater Avenue and Peninsula
Avenue. Although each is affected in
some way, Murtuza wrote that
Broadway has the worst problems due
to the high volume of traffic in the area.
Recently, Caltrain started a multi-
year modernization project to electrify
its tracks, allowing it to run more trains
when the project is completed in 2019.
The state released $40 million in
September in Proposition 1A bond
money to kick-start the project, esti-
mated to cost about $1.5 billion when
complete. The project currently is set
to include electrification without
changing the grade separations which
could worsen the situation at
Broadway, Murtuza wrote.
In other business, the council intro-
duced an ordinance eliminating the
limit on the number of restaurants in
the Burlingame Avenue area. Since
1985, Burlingame has had a restriction
on the number of food establishments
around Burlingame Avenue. In recent
years, the council has allowed for addi-
tional restaurants to open when there
was demand. Most recently, a request
was made in June.

OPTIONS
childrens song Wheels on the Bus
was the initial idea for the trios work.
Using pop-up books as inspiration, the
app was a denite labor of love.
Everyone pitched in. Gabriel did the
graphics. Flexer played the cello for the
music. Hu Flexer played the violin.
Friends were called in to help record the
music.
It started as a hobby, said Hu Flexer.
Wheels on the Bus gained lots of
recognition and inspired the team to cre-
ate more options. From the success of
the rst app grew Duck Duck Moose, the
award-winning San Mateo-based com-
pany founded in 2008 that now boasts 14
educational childrens applications for
iPhone, iPod touch, iPad and Android.
Each app reimagines a story, song or
idea and aims to offer children a cre-
ative, open-ended experience. For exam-
ple, when the girls went through the
inevitable princess phase, there was a
challenge to create interesting princess-
es. Now, the app Princess Fairy Tale
Maker allows children to use animated
stickers, lots of backgrounds, crayons
and the ability to record voices to create
princesses doing unlikely things, such as
landing on the moon.
Duck Duck Mooses inspiration of
fun, child-minded creations can be
found throughout the company from the
website to the downtown space. White
ofce walls have fun creatures remind-
ing those working of the audience for
whom they are designing. The business
remained a side gig until 2010 when Hu
Flexer and Gabriel started working full
time. In 2011, Flexer also took the leap.
It was a four-person operation until ear-
lier this year. The leap paid off. Theyre
working more closely with education
experts, testing the products, gaining
insights from teachers and training the
Flexers daughters in quality control, i.e.
nding bugs. The company is looking to
hire check the website for job options
and will soon move to a new San
Mateo location to accommodate the
growing space. The apps, which cost up
to $1.99, have been downloaded 2.4 mil-
lion times. Such success gets noticed.
Last month, the application company
raised $7 million in Series A funding
from Lightspeed Venture Partners and
Sequoia Capital with participation by
Stanford University.
Despite growth, Hu Flexer doesnt see
a change in the company focus. Instead,
it will be able to use higher quality com-
ponents like utilizing the help of an
audio engineer rather than just recording
in the basement.
Were raising the bar, she said.
Expanding the companys size also
means taking on more than one applica-
tion at a time. As a result, Hu Flexer
hopes the company will broaden its
reach. Most of the applications currently
offered work with younger children. She
believes the company can now expand
its efforts and nd creative ways to reach
older children.

APPS
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2012
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Instead of assessing
things from a realistic, practical perspective, youll be
inclined to see things as you would like them to be.
That spells trouble.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- For some strange
reason, you could feel obligated toward someone to
whom you owe nothing. Although this will be readily
apparent to onlookers, youll be hard to convince.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- The results arent
likely to be any good if you join forces with someone
who treats lightly an issue that you take seriously. Be
more selective of your allies.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Its not that youll be
plagued with a lack of imagination -- its more likely
that your schemes will count for little because you
might be too lazy to translate your ideas into action.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You might be tempted
to get involved with someone whom your better judg-
ment tells you to avoid. If you ignore that wise voice
within you, youll regret it later.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- The only way you
can be successful is to personally manage all your
endeavors to their conclusions. The things you dont
supervise could quickly run amok.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- This might not be the
best day to start a program that requires tremendous
self-discipline, such as a diet or an exercise regimen.
It isnt likely youll have the necessary staying power.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you need to purchase
something expensive, it would be a good idea to
bring along an adviser who is truly value-conscious.
Chances are, you wont recognize a bum deal.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The best way to be truly
effective is to understate things. Being ostenta-
tious or displaying a gaudy taste could severely and
permanently damage your image.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Instead of striving to be
realistic as per usual, you could feel that the world
owes you a living. Because life disagrees with you,
unfortunately, disappointment is likely.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Its OK to get involved in a
pleasurable pursuit, just be sure you can afford it.
Plus make sure your cohorts are willing to pay their
fair share.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Its never a good time to
take important things for granted, especially where
your work or career is concerned. If you get too com-
placent, it could quickly lead to your downfall.
