Members of a community asso-
ciation allege the South San
Francisco Unied School District
is misusing facilities bond funds
for a solar project by directing the
energy savings back into the
classroom while district ofcials
contend is absolutely nothing
wrong with the policy.
At issue is Measure J, a $162
million bond passed in 2010, and
a $15.6 million Chevron Energy
Solutions Solar Power Project.
The district is planning to use sav-
ings from the panels, estimated to
be about $20 million over 20
years, will be used to supplement
the general fund, pay teachers and
administrators salaries and offset
operating costs.
Thats wrong, according to
members of the Winston Manor
Community Association and its
members want that money used
solely for facilities.
The schools here are getting
really old and its prohibited to
divert bond funds into general
funds, said Marty Romero, mem-
ber of the Winston Manor
Community Association and the
districts Citizens Bond Oversight
Committee. We all want teachers
to get better salaries, but the way
theyre going about doing it is
misleading to the public.
The association seeks alterna-
tive financing options such as
selling the panels to a nancial
institution. The district would net
around $25 million in additional

The six-alarm fire that tore
through a Woodside Road apart-
ment building Thursday has some
Redwood City Council candidates
thinking about ways to encourage
owners of older buildings without
sprinklers to retrot the structures
and reconsider the browning out of
a downtown re engine.
Candidate Corrin Rankin in par-
ticular made the downtown fire
engine a key plank of her cam-
paign and she reiterated her advo-
cacy of a fully-staffed station and
engine after the re broke out at
the Terrace Apartments.
Our resources were maxed out
that day. We were really taxed and
what if there had been something
somewhere else? That kind of
makes me uneasy, Rankin said.
While she claries that having a
downtown engine wouldnt neces-
sarily have made an impact on the
Woodside re, she said it illus-
trates the type of quick response
shed hope if a similar incident
happened in that area.

OAKLAND The commuter
train that struck and killed two San
Francisco Bay Area transit workers
didnt have a front-facing video
recorder, but interviews, inspec-
tions, audio recordings and camera
footage from the trains cab should
provide enough evidence to deter-
mine a cause, a federal investiga-
tor said Sunday.
Jim Southworth, the National
Transportation Safety Boards rail-
road accident investigator-in-
charge, conrmed that Saturdays
accident involved a Bay Area
Rapid Transit train that wasnt car-
rying any passengers because of
the labor strike that has shut down
the system since Friday.
But whether the work stoppage
by members of the systems two
largest unions or the way BART
management deployed non-strik-
ing workers during the shutdown
played a role in the fatalities will
not be known for weeks or
months, Southworth said.
My concern coming out here,
as it is for every investigation, is
to nd out what happened, to gath-
er the facts, he said. Whether the

n the 1940s, the only jobs in Fairfax, Va.
were either at the local gas station or hard-
ware store, said San Mateo resident Gerald
Little.
Little worked at the gas station and also cut
lawns for some of his neighbors, including a pilot
who worked for Capital Airlines based out of
Washington, D.C.
One day the pilot went for a fill-up and asked
Little what he wanted to do with his life.
What are your plans? You cant go nowhere

Mayor asks residents:
Please dont vote for me
PORTMATILDA, Pa. Asmall-town
mayor in central Pennsylvania has an
unusual campaign message: Dont vote
for me.
Bob Wiser is running unopposed for
a second term as mayor of Port Matilda,
a community near Penn State
University.
But the 70-year-old resident recently
decided hed rather leave the post. Yet
he missed the August deadline for tak-
ing his name off the ballot.
Wiser tells the Centre Daily Times
that hes asking voters to write in a
qualied alternative candidate.
Wiser says hes enjoyed his time in
ofce. But he says hes lost interest and
is tired of butting heads with the bor-
ough council.
If Wiser is re-elected Nov. 5, he could
retire before his new term starts.
Should that happen, election ofcials
say the council will appoint an interim
mayor.
100-mule procession
headed to Los Angeles
LONE PINE A procession of 100
mules has left the eastern Sierra on a
trek south to commemorate the 100th
birthday of the Los Angeles Aqueduct.
Over the coming weeks, the Los
Angeles Times reports the 240-mile
journey will traverse both vast sage
plains and dozens of cities before arriv-
ing in Los Angeles.
The effort, billed as a mobile art proj-
ect, is the brainchild of artist Lauren
Bon, granddaughter of the late publish-
ing magnate and philanthropist Walter
Annenberg.
Los Angeles has been vilied by its
northern neighbors after land and water
rights were snatched up in the Owens
Valley to quench the thirst of the grow-
ing metropolis. As a result, Owens
Lake dried up and natural springs that
fed farmland and sh hatcheries were
drained.
US gas prices drop
2 cents over past 2 weeks
CAMARILLO The average U.S.
price of a gallon of gasoline has
dropped 2 cents over the past two
weeks.
The Lundberg Survey of fuel prices
released Sunday says the price of a gal-
lon of regular is $3.36. Midgrade costs
an average of $3.56 a gallon, and pre-
mium is $3.71.
Diesel was down a penny at $3.91
gallon.
Of the cities surveyed in the Lower 48
states, Albuquerque, N.M., has the
nations lowest average price for gas at
$3.03. San Francisco has the highest at
$3.81.
In California, the lowest average
price was $3.64 in Sacramento. The
average statewide for a gallon of regular
was $3.74, a drop of 9 cents.
Bookish baby boy born
in L.A.-area Barnes & Noble
TORRANCE Awoman walked into
a Los Angeles-area Barnes & Noble
looking for books and came out with a
baby instead.
Fireghters delivered the newborn
Friday evening in the bookstore's
lobby at Del Amo Fashion Center,
Torrance Fire Department Capt. Steve
Deuel said.
The reghters had responded to a
call of a woman in labor and were decid-
ing whether to put her in an ambulance
or keep her in the store when they real-
ized the infant was coming.
The baby made that decision for
them, Deuel said. They went ahead
and delivered a healthy baby boy.
Store manager Marchelle Hughes said
the woman gave birth just ve or 10
minutes after walking through the door
around 7:30 p.m.
About 20 people gathered to watch,
and employees asked some not to take
pictures or video. Paramedics put up a
cloth to help with privacy.
That is a really awkward event to do
in public, Hughes said. At the same
time its a really tender moment, and I
think everybody wanted to share that.
After cleaning up, staff nished their
shift with a positive vibe in the store,
she said.
The mother and child, whose names
were not released, were taken to a hospi-
tal and both were doing well, Deuel
said.

A
s we all know in 1492 Christopher
Columbus had crossed the Atlantic
Ocean and this act led to the con-
quering and plundering of a civilization that
had riches of gold that Spain wanted. When
Vasco Nunez de Balboa rst gazed upon the
Pacic Ocean 1513, a complete new world
of exploration was about to open up. The
Spanish had the Aztec empire and its sur-
roundings under control but it felt it needed
richer elds in which to conquer. In 1532,
Francisco Pizarro conquered Peru and found
wealth in gold and gems as rich as Mexico
had, including silver mines that could be
used to acquire the wealth found in Asia.
In 1519, Ferdinand Magellan sailed down
the east coast of South America, passed
through the wild and treacherous Straits of
Magellan (later Cape Horn south of the
Strait of Magellan became the preferred
route to travel) and entered the Pacific
Ocean. He turned north and caught the trade
winds that took him across the Pacic to the
Philippines. This remarkable feat, however,
resulted in his death at the hands of the
natives. The voyage continued and eventu-
ally it ended in England the rst naviga-
tion around the globe. Now a way had been
found to get to the riches of the Orient.
What was needed was a way to get back to
Mexico and Spain without traveling
through the enemies and hostile natives
who claimed trading rights on the many
countries on the route west from the
Philippines. Forty-four years later, in
1565, Andres de Urdaneta found a wind sys-
tem that would carry ships easterly and back
to the Americas. During those years, Spain
had been setting up a trading system that
would carry the spices, gold, and porcelain
that was abundant in China and the
Philippines back to Spain. The wealth was
fabulous if they could only get it back to
Spain and Urdaneta had paved the way for
the Spanish galleons to transport this
wealth. A captain of a galleon could make
enough commission on one of these trips to
retire for life.
The biggest problem with sailing ships
was the need for wind to ll their sails.
Unfortunately, the coast of California was
found to have adverse winds that blew south
from Alaska, making it difcult for sailing
ships to navigate safely along the coast.
The usual procedure was for a ship to travel
to the west for many miles, then turn around
and sail to the east, hoping to make some
headway north. This would be repeated
many times unless the captain achieved
favorable winds along the coast that
enabled him to keep closer to the shore.

savings, while buying electricity at a
reduced rate from the bank and the money
could then be spent on construction and
reconstruction projects, according to the
association.
Romero said his ideas and concerns have
fallen on deaf ears while school board mem-
bers said the community association mem-
bers are loose on their facts and that its
too late to consider alternative nancing.
Trustee Liza Normandy agrees alternative
nancing is a good idea, but there were con-
versations happening before the ballot
measure and association members did not
voice their opinions until after the measure
passed and funds were allocated.
The district would not know how to allo-
cate savings from the panels within the
general fund to different construction proj-
ects, Normandy said. Board President
Philip Weise added that the district cant
take money from the general fund and put it
into Measure J.
The community association might con-
sider a lawsuit if the district doesnt move
the funds back into Measure J, Winston
Manor President Cindy Alger said.
Were trying to get them to do some-
thing without having to bring it to the
grand jury, Alger said. Weve been going
back and forth for two years. Directing
money from Measure J to the general fund is
against education code.
A lawsuit would do nothing but waste
money, Weise said. Trustee Maurice
Goodman said he doesnt have any con-
cerns about the legality of using the cost
savings for general fund purposes.
Its something they feel very passionate
about and we listen to every concern of our
citizens, Goodman said. Theyve been
our supporters, so we take them seriously,
but I dont see the concern for this being
illegal.
The association further argues that the
life span of the panels is not worth the
cost, Romero said. It will take 40 years for
taxpayers to pay off the panels, yet their
life expectancy is half the time, he said. He
wants to see some sort of alternative
nancing or put the money in a special fund
to be put back into Measure J.
This is simply not true, Weise said. The
warranty for the panels is 20 years, while
the actual life span for them is more like 35
to 40 years, he said.
The 2010 bond measured was aimed at
providing safe, modern classrooms and for
educational support facilities by replacing
deteriorated portable classrooms with per-
manent classrooms. It included repairing
deteriorated roofs, providing disabled stu-
dents access, upgrading science labs,
libraries, technology and rest rooms. It
also focused on enhancing safety, re detec-
tion and security systems. Energy efcien-
cy, replacing outdated electrical, plumbing
and heating systems were part of the pack-
age as well.
With the solar project, the district
expects to cut its annual electrical utility
usage in half and reduce its carbon emis-
sions by more than 1,500 metric tons,
equivalent to the carbon sequestered by 328
acres of pine forests, according to Chevron
Energy Solutions.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH The nations largest
labor unions are ready and willing to help
ght global warming, but are cautioning
environmentalists that workers need new
clean-energy jobs before existing industries
are shut down.
The four-day Power Shift conference in
Pittsburgh is training young people to stop
coal mining, fracking for oil and gas, and
nuclear power, but organizers also want
workers to join the battle against climate
change.
Union leaders say their workers want to
help build a new, green economy.
Global warming is here, and we can work
and get it fixed together, United Steel
Workers president Leo Gerard said in a Friday
night address at Power Shift.
But other labor groups note that while
they share the same long-term clean energy
goals with environmentalists, there are
challenges.
Its not just as simple as No Fracking
or other bans, said Tahir Duckett, an
AFL/CIO representative who spoke at a
Saturday Power Shift panel that sought to
promote dialogue between environmental-
ists and workers.
Duckett said workers need new jobs to
make a transition to clean energy, noting
that shutting down industries such as coal
can turn entire communities into a ghost
town. We cannot bury our heads in the sand
and pretend like people arent ghting for
their very survival.
Richard Fowler, a Power Shift moderator,
said that instead of talking about a ban on
a particular industry, environmentalists
should talk about solutions that provide
jobs.
Thats what is missing, said Fowler, a
radio host and member of Generational
Alliance, a Washington, D.C. based coali-
tion of community youth groups. Its
always a ban, or a x, or a cap, or a trade
instead of just straight-up campaigns to
build cleaner energy sources like wind and
solar.
The overwhelming consensus among top
scientists from around the world is that
theyre about as certain global warming is a
real, man-made threat as they are that ciga-
rettes kill, and pollution from fossil fuels is
the biggest problem.
The organizers of Power Shift say a green
economy is the only way to head off cata-
strophic global warming and build a healthi-
er future for everyone, including workers and
their families. Pittsburgh was chosen for the
biannual conference partly because its at the
crossroads of old and new energy. The city
itself has banned fracking, yet the surround-
ing county recently signed a huge drilling
lease for land under the Pittsburgh
International Airport. Western Pennsylvania
is also the birthplace of the oil and steel
industries, but tech rms are attracted by stu-
dents from Carnegie Mellon University and
other schools.
Sierra Club executive director Michael
Brune said their goal is to simultaneously
decrease pollution from existing fossil fuels
and increase clean energy, while taking care
of workers in the process.
We have to begin replacing old, outdated,
dirty fossil fuel projects with energy ef-
ciency and clean energy, Brune said. Were
talking about a massive transition, with
millions of people who will be affected.
The Power Shift conference is organized
every two years by the Washington, D.C.-
based Energy Action Coalition, with support
this year from groups including the Sierra
Club, the Natural Resources Defense
Council, 350.org, and the Rockefeller
Brothers Fund.
But its not clear how much some of the
members of Power Shift are willing to com-
promise with workers as far as the timing of
shutting down polluting industries. On
Saturday many Power Shift sponsors, such
as 350.org, also held a Global Frackdown
with protests that sought to Ban Fracking
Now.
Some young people attending Power Shift
say theyre sensitive to the needs of work-
ers.
To change to a green economy we need all
hands on deck, and that includes the coal
workers, said Seth Bush, a 23-year-old
graduate of the University of Pittsburgh who
now works for the Sierra Club. And part of
the conversation involves making sure that
those people can put food on the table.
Rich Fitzgerald, the Allegheny County
Executive, said Pittsburghs history has
some important lessons for Power Shift: the
convention center theyre meeting in is
named after David L. Lawrence, a former
Pittsburgh mayor who worked with industry
to help create some of the nations rst
major air pollution laws in the 1940s.
Back at the Power Shift conference,
Duckett noted the potential for environmen-
talists and labor to join forces.

The three seeking ofce cur-
rent Councilwoman Karyl
Matsumoto, Collin Post and
Carlos Martin spoke with the
Daily Journal for endorsement
interviews this week. The two-
year seat is the completion of
Kevin Mullins term necessitated
when he was elected to the
Assembly. Pradeep Gupta, who
was appointed to the seat, is run-
ning for one of the three open
four-year seats, one of which is
currently held by Matsumoto.
Employee pensions were also of
importance to the candidates.
Development, downtown
Loss of redevelopment agency
funds prevented some of the eco-
nomic improvements that could
have come from the money, the
candidates agreed.
The city was hamstringed with
the loss of redevelopment funds,
Martin said. Theres more we can
do with a downtown advocacy
commission.
The city had
a s s e m b l e d
properties under
redevelopment
to for a down-
t own- speci f i c
p l a n ,
M a t s u m o t o
said.
We were pig-
gybacking off
of those funds,
Matsumoto said.
Further, she said that since sex
offenders cant be near parks,
schools or playgrounds, they are
coming downtown since there are
none of those in the area.
Still, Post believes the city has
not been aggressive enough in
their business plans, but doesnt
support adding high-density hous-
ing to downtown.
A lot of things were doing are
backring, Post said. Were not
getting the retail we deserve. Im
for Walmart and Kmart for people
with four to ve kids. We should
have built a casino.
Coming out of the recession
takes time, Matsumoto said.
We werent just sitting on our
hands, we were building a founda-
tion, she said.
Getting better lighting in down-
town, along with having police
drive around the
area frequently
would help
improve Grand
Avenue, Post
said. Hed also
like to see more
events in down-
town, such as
a u t o m o b i l e
shows and food
festivals. Its important not to
build high-density housing near
downtown because schools would
also be needed and sex offenders
are in the city, Post said.
Making sure to continue draw-
ing in biotech companies is
important too, Martin said, since
there is more competition from
other cities to take in these com-
panies. South San Francisco is
still the biotech capital of the
world, but the city still has to
show the companies theres a
good quality of life in South San
Francisco, Matsumoto said.
Pensions
South San Francisco has about
$80 million in unfunded pension
liability funds, which is of con-
cern to the candidates.
The city is fully cognizant of
the situation, Matsumoto said.
We now have a two-tier system
for new employees, she said.
Were looking at something sim-
ilar to a 401(k) and are working to
mitigate it [the $80 million].
The pensions have been killer
for all cities, Post said.
Theres not an easy solution,
Post said. When contracts are up,
renegotiations need to be done.
We do need to do something with
it.
Martin agreed with Matsumoto
in that he believes the city made
the proper steps to dealing with
worker pensions.
If the city has made commit-
ments, they need to honor them,
Martin said.
Transportation
Improving transportation is
important for improving the town
as a whole, the candidates agreed.
Bringing foot trafc to downtown
will make Caltrain more motivat-
ed to have a new downtown stop,
Martin said.
Its easier to build a child than
to x an adult, Martin said.
The Oyster Point Ferry
Terminals lack of ridership was of
interest to the candidates, who
emphasized the city does not oper-
ate the ferry service.
The city has done extensive out-
reach through the Chamber of
Commerce and made every effort
to use its resources to get the word
out there, Matsumoto said.
No transportation sustains
itself very well, Post said. He
would like to add more SamTrans
service to the area, but
Matsumoto countered that service
doesnt go to that area since its
not economically viable east of
Highway 101.
If we add nice restaurants it
would bring people down there,
Post said. Something other than
just a parking lot when you get off
the ferry.
Oyster Point could be the next
Fishermans Wharf, Post said.
There needs to be a data analysis
to see if the ferry pricing is pro-
hibitive, Martin said.
We need to make sure theres an
awareness for the terminal and
enough bike pathways, he said.
There needs to be work to make
sure theres enough service to the
city.

Big surf heading for coast
Some big waves are headed
toward the Northern California
coast, and the National Weather
Service is warning fishermen and
beachgoers to stay back from the
water through Tuesday afternoon.
The swell was set to hit the
coast from Sonoma County to
Monterey County late yesterday
evening, and a beach hazards
warning will take effect around
11 p.m., the weather service said
today in an advisory.
Sneaker waves, strong waves
that can wash people into the sea
from beaches and rocks, are
expected, along with strong rip
currents and large surf, the advi-
sory said.
Those fishing or visiting the
beach should avoid rocks and jet-
ties and always keep their eyes
on the ocean, service officials
said.

STATE/NATION
By Juliet Williams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FRESNO Trucks loaded with
tomatoes, milk and almonds clog
the two main highways that bisect
Californias farm heartland, carry-
ing goods to millions along the
Pacic Coast and beyond. This
dusty stretch of land is the starting
point for one of the nations most
expensive public infrastructure
projects: a $68 billion high-speed
rail system that would span the
state, linking the people of
Americas salad bowl to more jobs,
opportunity and buyers.
Five years ago, California voters
overwhelmingly approved the idea
of bringing a bullet train to the
nations most populous state. It
would be Americas rst high-speed
rail system, sold to the public as a
way to improve access to good-
paying jobs, cut pollution from
smog-lled roadways and reduce
time wasted sitting in trafc while
providing an alternative to high
fuel prices.
Now, engineering work has nal-
ly begun on the rst 30-mile seg-
ment of track here in Fresno, a city
of a half-million people with soar-
ing unemployment and a withering
downtown core littered with aban-
doned factories and shuttered
stores.
Rail is meant to help this place,
with construction jobs now and
improved access to economic
opportunity once the job is com-
plete. But the region that could ben-
et most from the project is also
where opposition to it has grown
most erce.
I just wish it would go away, this
high-speed rail. I just wish it would
go away, says Gary Lanfranco,
whose restaurant in downtown
Fresno is slated to be demolished to
make way for rerouted trafc.
Such sentiments can be heard
throughout the Central Valley,
where roads are dotted with signs
such as: HERE COMES HIGH
SPEED RAIL There goes the farm.
Growers complain of misplaced pri-
orities, and residents wonder if their
tax money is being squandered.
Aaron Fukuda, a civil engineer
whose house in the dairy town of
Hanford lies directly in one of the
possible train routes, says: People
are worn out, tired, frustrated.
Voters in 2008 approved $10 bil-
lion in bonds to start construction
on an 800-mile rail line to ferry
passengers between San Francisco
and Los Angeles in 2 hours and 40
minutes, compared with 6 hours by
car now during good trafc. Since
then, the housing market col-
lapsed, multibillion-dollar budget
decits followed, and the price tag
has uctuated wildly from $45
billion in 2008 to more than $100
billion in 2011 and, now, $68 bil-
lion.
Political and nancial compro-
mises led ofcials to scale back
plans that now mean trains will be
forced to slow down and share
tracks in major cities, leading crit-
ics to question whether it will truly
be the 220-mph high-speed rail
voters were promised.
Construction has been post-
poned repeatedly, and a court victo-
ry this summer by opponents
threatens further delays; a
Sacramento County Superior Court
judge said the state rail authoritys
plan goes against the promise made
to voters to identify all the funding
for the rst segment before starting
construction.
Even the former chairman of the
California High-Speed Rail
Authority, Quentin Kopp, has
turned against the current project,
saying in court papers that it is no
longer a genuine high speed rail
system.
In the Central Valley, there is
intense distrust of the authority,
which has started buying up proper-
t y, land and businesses, some of
which have been in families for
generations.
At the dimly lit Cosmopolitan
Cafe, ofce workers line up along-
side farmers and paramedics to order
sandwiches as waitresses expedi-
tiously call out order numbers. Four
decades worth of memorabilia and
yellowing newspaper restaurant
reviews line the faux-wood walls in
the space Lanfranco has owned for
most of his life.
Work begins on bullet train, locals angry
California voters approved the idea of bringing a bullet train to the nations
most populous state.
Child advocate arrested
in child sex abuse case
SANTACRUZ Authorities say
a Santa Cruz man who served as a
court-appointed volunteer advo-
cate for children has been was
arrested on suspicion of child sex
abuse.
KPIX-TV reports that the Santa
Cruz County Sheriffs Office
arrested 39-year-old Brian
Criswell on Friday in the alleged
molestation of two children,
including one that lasted from
2009 to 2011.
Sheriffs Deputy Ryan Kennedy
says Criswell worked in the coun-
tys Court Appointed Special
Advocates program. The organiza-
tion recruits and provides volun-
teer mentors to spend time with
children placed by judges into fos-
ter care.
Criswell started working as a
CASA child advocate in 2009 and
had passed an extensive back-
ground check. Cynthia Druley, the
groups executive director, says he
was terminated from the program
three weeks ago.
Some NJ gay couples plan
weddings, others delayed
ATRENTON, N.J. Pioneering
couples across New Jersey pre-
pared Sunday night to become the
rst in the state to be legally mar-
ried to their same-sex partners.
Same-sex marriages were sched-
uled to begin Monday at 12:01
a.m. The New Jersey Supreme
Court last week refused to delay a
lower court order for the state to
start recognizing marriages. The
case, however, is still on appeal.
Several couples planned to
marry minutes after the state
began recognizing the unions. Yet
other said they had not been able
to get a license. New Jersey law
requires that couples wait three
days between obtaining a license
and getting married.
Theres a lot of mass confusion
and it boils down to the fact that
the state should have issued guid-
ance a week ago, said Troy
Stevenson, executive director of
Garden State Equality.

WASHINGTON JPMorgan Chase &
Co. has tentatively agreed to pay $13 bil-
lion to settle allegations surrounding the
quality of mortgage-backed s ecurities it
sold in the run-up to the 2008 financial cri-
sis, a person familiar with the negotia-
tions between the bank and the federal
government said Saturday.
If the agreement is finalized it would be
the governments highest-profile enforce-
ment action related to the financial melt-
down that plunged the economy into the
deepest recession since the Great
Depression of the 1930s.
The person, who spoke on condition of
anonymity because the deal has not been
finalized, said Attorney General Eric
Holder, Associate Attorney General Tony
West, J.P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon and
the banks general counsel, Stephen
Cutler, negotiated the tentative settlement
in a Friday night phone call.
The person said the tentative agreement
does not resolve a criminal investigation
of the banks conduct. It is being handled
by federal prosecutors in Sacramento.
On Friday night, Holder told the bank
that a non-prosecution agreement was a
non-starter meaning that the Justice
Department will continue to conduct the
criminal investigation of the financial
institution, said the person. As part of the
deal, the Justice Department expects
JPMorgan to cooperate with the continu-
ing criminal probe of the banks issuance
of mortgage-backed securities between
2005 and 2007, the person said.
JPMorgan spokesman Brian Marchiony
and Justice Department spokesman Brian
Fallon declined to comment.
Of the $13 billion, $9 billion is fines or
penalties and $4 billion will go to con-
sumer relief for struggling homeowners,
the person said.
When the housing bubble burst in 2007,
bundles of mortgages sold as securities
soured and the investors who bought them
lost billions. In the aftermath, public out-
rage boiled over that no high-level Wall
Street executives had been sent to jail.
Some lawmakers and other critics demand-
ed that the big bailed-out banks and senior
executives be held accountable.
In response, the government in January
2012 set up a task force of federal and state
law enforcement officials to pursue wrong-
doing with regard to mortgage securities.
JPMorgan to reach

WASHINGTON Last week,
President Barack Obama gathered
some of his top advisers in the
Oval Ofce to discuss the prob-
lem-plagued rollout of his health
care legislation. He told his team
the administration had to own up
to the fact that there were no
excuses for not having the health
care website ready to operate on
Day One.
The admonition from a frustrated
president came amid the embar-
rassing start to sign-ups for the
health care
i n s u r a n c e
exchanges. The
president is
expected to
address the cas-
cade of comput-
er problems
Monday during
an event at the
White House.
Administration officials say
more than 476,000 health insur-
ance applications have been led
through federal and state
exchanges. The gures mark the
most detailed measure yet of the
problem-plagued rollout of the
insurance market place.
However, the ofcials continue
to refuse to say how many people
have actually enrolled in the insur-
ance markets. And without enroll-
ment gures, its unclear whether
the program is on track to reach the
7 million people projected by the
Congressional Budget Office to
gain coverage during the six-
month sign-up period.
The rst three weeks of sign-ups
have been marred by a cascade of
computer problems, which the
administration says it is working
around the clock to correct. The
rough rollout has been a black eye
for Obama, who invested signi-
cant time and political capital in
getting the law passed during his
rst term.
The officials said technology
experts from inside and outside the
government are being brought in
to work on the glitches, though
they did not say how many workers
were being added.
Ofcials did say stafng has been
increased at call centers by about
50 percent. As problems persist on
the federally run website, the
administration is encouraging
more people to sign up for insur-
ance over the phone.
The ofcials would not discuss
the health insurance rollout by
name and were granted anonymity.
Despite the widespread problems,
the White House has yet to fully
explain what went wrong with the
online system consumers were sup-
posed to use to sign up for coverage.
Administration ofcials initial-
ly blamed a high volume of inter-
est from ordinary Americans for
the frozen screens that many peo-
ple encountered. Since then, they
have also acknowledged problems
with software and some elements
of the systems design.
For Obama, a frustrating health care rollout
476,000 Obamacare applications filed

WASHINGTON Administration ofcials
say about 476,000 health insurance applica-
tions have been led through federal and

one of his daily health care briengs last
week, he told advisers assembled in the Oval
Ofce that the administration had to own up
to the fact that there were no excuses for not
having the website ready to operate as prom-
ised.
The president is expected to address the
problems on Monday during a health care
event at the White House. Cabinet members
and other top administration ofcials will
also be traveling around the country in the
coming weeks to encourage sign-ups in
areas with the highest population of unin-
sured people.
The rst three weeks of sign-ups have
been marred by a cascade of computer prob-
lems, which the administration says it is

CAIRO Egyptian anti-riot
police red tear gas Sunday at hun-
dreds of supporters of the coun-
trys ousted Islamist president,
besieging them inside a presti-
gious Muslim institution after
stone-hurling protesters cut off a
main road.
Sundays clashes marked the
second day of unrest at Al-Azhar
University, Sunni Islams most
prominent center of learning.
Many supporters of ousted
President Mohammed Morsis
Muslim Brotherhood are students
at Al-Azhar, a stronghold of the
group. The campus is also near
where Islamists had a sprawling
protest camp that security forces
raided in August, leaving hundreds
dead and sparking days of unrest.
The students protest started
with a march inside campus, where
protesters hurled stones at the
administrators ofces, smashing
windows and breaking doors, said
Ibrahim el-Houdhoud, deputy head
of the university. He told satellite
news channel Al-Jazeera Mubashir
Misr that he warned protesters
against leaving campus and clash-
ing with security forces.
The protesters however ignored
the advice, marching out of the
main gates to hold prayers for the
dead honoring students killed
in earlier clashes between security
forces and protesters in July.
The protests come amid heated
debate over a new law that would
place tougher restrictions on
demonstrators, which includes
imposing heavy nes and possi-
ble jail time on violators.
Morsi was overthrown by the
military July 3 after millions took
to the streets to demand he step
down. Since then, Cairo has seen
non-stop demonstrations by his
supporters demanding his return.
A military-backed crackdown has
left hundreds dead and seen thou-
sands arrested.
Ousting Morsi escalated mili-
tant attacks in Egypt, especially
in the volatile Sinai peninsula.
Egypts interior minister escaped
an assassination attempt when a
car bomb targeted his convoy near
his residence in Cairo last month.
Egypts official news agency
MENA reported that two members
of Central Security Forces were
injured Sunday when their bus
came under attack near border town
of Rafah in northern Sinai.
Militants attacked the bus with
automatic weapons and fled the
scene. The soldiers were heading
to their camp in Rafah.
There also have been attacks
against Coptic Christian church-
es. On Sunday night, gunmen on
motorcycles opened fire on a
group of people at a Coptic church
holding a wedding in Cairo,
killing one woman and wounding
10, security officials said.
Ofcials said they did not have an
immediate motive for the shoot-
ing, which happened in Cairos
Waraa neighborhood.
The ofcials spoke on condition
of anonymity as they werent
authorized to speak to journalists.

JERUSALEM Just days after
the rst round of global nuclear
talks with Iran, a rift appears to be
emerging between Israel and its
closest ally, the United States.
Israels prime minister on Sunday
called on the U.S. to step up the
pressure on Iran, even as American
ofcials hinted at the possibility of
easing tough economic pressure.
Meanwhile, a leading Israeli daily
reported the outlines of what could
be construed in the West as genuine
Iranian compromises in the talks.
The differing approaches could
bode poorly for Israel as the talks
between six global powers and Iran
gain steam in the coming months.
Negotiators were upbeat following
last weeks talks, and the next
round of negotiations is set to
begin Nov. 7.
Convinced Iran is pursuing
nuclear weapons, Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu believes the
Iranians are trying to trick the West
into easing economic sanctions
while still pushing forward with
their nuclear program. Iran insists
its program is for peaceful purpos-
es.
I think that in this situation as
long as we do not see actions
instead of words, the international
pressure must continue to be
applied and even increased,
Netanyahu told his Cabinet. The
greater the pressure, the greater the
chance that there will be a genuine
dismantling of the Iranian military
nuclear program.
Israel considers a nuclear-
armed Iran a threat to its very
survival, citing Iranian references
to Israels destruction.
Netanyahu says pressure must be
maintained until Iran halts all
enrichment of uranium, a key step in
producing a nuclear weapon;
removes its stockpile of enriched
uranium from the country; closes
suspicious enrichment facilities and
shutters a facility that could produce
plutonium, another potential gate-
way to nuclear arms.
Despite Netanyahus warnings,
there are growing signs that any
international deal with Iran will fall
short of his demands.
Over the weekend, U.S. ofcials
said the White House was debating
whether to offer Iran the chance to
recoup billions of dollars in frozen
assets if it scales back its nuclear
program. The plan would stop short
of lifting sanctions, but could
nonetheless provide Iran some
relief.
In an interview broadcast Sunday
on NBC, U.S. Treasury Secretary
Jack Lew said it was premature to
talk of easing sanctions. But he
stopped short of endorsing the
tough Israeli line and suggested the
U.S. would take a more incremental
approach in response to concrete
Iranian gestures.

Conservatives needlessly costing
taxpayers another $24 billion
Editor,
Under pressure from their tea party
faction, the GOP made yet another
attempt to end the Affordable Care Act.
They arent bothered by the fact that it
is a passed law, was upheld by the U.S.
Supreme Court and was a major issue
during the last presidential election
when the American people re-elected
Barack Obama over the bills critic,
Mitt Romney.
As has become common with the
Republicans, they foolishly
announced their actual intentions (to
kill Obamacare and shut down the
government). Several couldnt con-
tain their glee after accomplishing
the shutdown.
Keeping with their political pattern,
they later looked for other excuses to
shut down the government, disavow-
ing the premise that Obamacare was
the driving force of their refusal to
vote to keep the government open.
Would someone please explain to
these politicians that everything they
say is recorded and available for
review during their subsequent rebut-
tals?
While claiming to be intent on
reducing government spending (read:
spending used to help the poor and
disenfranchised), their most recent
foible cost taxpayers $24 billion,
accomplished nothing positive and
disrupted hundreds of thousands of
lives.
I hope this historic event doesnt
fade from the collective memories of
the American people before the next
election.
Apparently, when the tea party
chanted that they wanted to take back
our government, they meant, from
the rest of the American populace.

Recent letter writer Ms. Marcopulos
asks us to remember the actions and
votes of our so called representa-
tives in federal government when we
vote in the future (Fire them all letter

As elections come upon us, we get
hyped up by the propaganda on televi-
sion and act like the whole thing is a
team contest. We stand loyal to our
team: the Democrats or the
Republicans, and vote for which we
think is the lesser evil.
In this contest, we forget how they
voted to give trillions of dollars to the
crooks on Wall Street and how they
vote more trillions of our tax dollars
to be spent on war after war that have
never been declared by Congress.
Congress did not even bother to vote
on Medicare for all which had the sup-
port of 74 percent of our citizens
nationwide. We are only beginning to
feel the pain of the austerity they
voted for. Political parties are nowhere
mentioned in our Constitution.
There is no reason for us to limit our
choice to only two candidates. This is
especially wrong when both of the
two are so rmly working together to
serve those who pay for their cam-
paign costs. We have the best govern-
ment that money can buy and look
at the mess we are in. Skip the Ds and
the Rs and lets try to get some democ-
racy in this land. We need a govern-
ment that heeds the voice of the peo-
ple. Do not vote corporate.

More imaginative lawyers and
accountants
Editor,
It is now California law. If you acci-
dentally wander across the border and
pass the Bar too, you can be a
California lawyer. But why stop
there? Besides imaginative lawyers,
we could also use some more imagina-
tive accountants who view laws as
suggestions and one plus one equals
whatever is convenient for them and
their boss. After all, our very own
Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling are still in
jail. Who could we rely on to cook
our books? Write to Gov. Jerry Brown
now and demand the right of undocu-
mented immigrants to become certi-
ed public accountants. They, as our
capable state employees, will show
all Californians that our public sector
pension problems are only lies con-
cocted by those evil Republicans.

CHICO ENTERPRISE-RECORD
T
he state is taking money from
citizens to award to green ener-
gy projects. Yes, taxpayer
money was spent on a cure for cold
feet.
Politicians love their pork. Were
not talking about the other white meat
here, but the sort of spending done to
reward certain backers of favored caus-
es.
Usually pork comes in the form of
earmarks in spending bills, but
California legislators years ago decid-
ed to just throw taxpayer money at an
entire industry. Anything to do with
alternative energy automatically
became eligible for this government
largesse. Put the word green in your
company name and you were (and are) a
virtual lock for a handout.
Its hard to blame the businesses.
The government said there was a pot of
green available for green energy, and
smart business owners gured out how
to exploit that to get ahead.
ALos Angeles Times story about the
states alternative-energy spending
showed how the state handed out $1.6
billion last year to a range of projects
having to do with energy efciency
and alternative energy.
Some of the projects were extremely
benecial and revolutionary. Others,
not so much.
For example, the story said the state
spent almost $15 million to build 10
hydrogen fueling stations for the
states 227 hydrogen-powered vehi-
cles. Thats $1.5 million to build each
station, and about $66,000 spent per
car not exactly a bargain for the
states taxpayers.
Those hydrogen fueling stations
were nanced by a $3 charge on all
license plates. Other pet energy proj-
ects are nanced through extra charges
on utility bills about $36 a year per
household on average for gas and elec-
tric combined.
Some truly extraordinary projects
received state support. But many of the
projects were inane, a waste of money,
such as the $1.6 million awarded by
the California Energy Commission to
a UC Berkeley team to try to develop a
cure for cold feet.
Areport by the Legislative Analysts
Ofce shared this startling news: The
state may soon be spending more
money on alternative energy and ener-
gy efciency programs than it spends
on the entire University of California
system.
This fascination with green energy
dates back 10 years, one of Arnold
Schwarzeneggers many failed lega-
cies. That doesnt mean we need to
keep funding his mythic Hydrogen
Highway. Now that alternative energy
is established, let it stand on its own
two feet. We dont need to give away
subsidies in perpetuity, especially at a
time when state and local budgets are
so tight.
Were pressed for police ofcers and
letting prisoners out at the same time
that were using government money to
try to develop a milk truck that runs on
cow manure? How does that even begin
to make sense?
State has strange sense of priorities An undercover
man goes public
H
e has never watched Breaking Bad( the televi-
sion series about a terminally ill chemistry
teacher who turns drug lord), but Robert Ross
knows rsthand about the drug culture in San Mateo. He
was a San Mateo policeman for 15 years during which he
spent a good part of his time in undercover narcotics. He
retired from the force in 2009 and was elected to the City
Council. Today, he is running for his second term and, if
re-elected, will probably be named the citys next mayor.
Ross was born in
Kentucky but moved to San
Leandro when he was 4. He
graduated from Castro
Valley High, then took
some courses at Cal State
Hayward and San Jose
State. Initially, he wanted
to be in electronics but
most of his friends wanted
to be policemen. So he
took the test along with
them but he was the only
one who passed. He worked
as a police assistant in
Hayward, then nanced
himself through the Police
Academy in Modesto.
There he was friends with ve recruits from San Mateo.
Thats how he ended up in the San Mateo Police
Department in 1984.
Ross says hes been lucky. His rst job in Hayward was
to run the jail where he learned how to deal with angry,
violent and drunk people, how to bring them down and
manage them. In San Mateo, he started off as a patrolman
but was soon assigned to the North Central neighbor-
hood. It was in the 1980s when the Martin Luther King Jr.
Center was a magnet for drug dealing. Ross watched what
was going on, made friends with neighbors, was able to
identify the families of the teens involved and, most
important, received helpful tips from residents. As a
result, he was able to make an unusual number of arrests
and, after just 18 months, was assigned to investigations
as an undercover narcotics cop. Because the work was dan-
gerous, he started a real estate business buying and x-
ing up houses and apartments so his family would be
nancially taken care of in case something happened to
him.
I asked Ross if he had ever killed someone in the line of
duty and he has not but he was shot at when he was talk-
ing to some gang members when a rival gang drove by
and opened re.
He and his department worked with 13 different agencies
on some major cases. One involved seizing a kilo of
cocaine and a couple of Mercedes; another nding
$800,000 in cash stashed in the trunk of a car. Ross was
then assigned to investigations involving homicides, child
abduction and child abuse. When he was promoted to lieu-
tenant, he ran community policing for the city and did dou-
ble duty monitoring North Central. He also worked on fraud
cases, the most famous busting identity thefts at a
Hillsdale gas station where two guys set up a camera to read
customers PIN and a skimmer so they could get the card
number. One was found and jailed; the other is still at large.
Ross was also lucky when he decided to run for council.
But not the rst try when he applied for an appointment to
an open seat that went to Fred Hansson. When Hansson
ran for election to keep the seat, his parents were both in
the hospital dying. He couldnt run much of a campaign.
Ross was elected to his rst term along with David Lim
and incumbent Brandt Grotte.
***
What are the main qualities for being a good policeman?
I was surprised when Ross answered having a good heart,
knowing how to treat another person as you would like to
be treated. Letting people know you are not out to get
them but willing to give them a second chance. When
neighborhood children got in trouble, Ross would hand-
cuff them, then bring them back to their families before
taking them up to juvenile hall. When asked by the judge
for a recommendation, Ross would often advise giving the
kid a break. Also important is being a good observer, like
watching television without sound. You may not hear but
you can see everything.
Today, Ross lives alone. His two children are grown and
on their own. He is divorced from his wife of 28 years but
they are still good friends. His main job is that of a coun-
cilman. And if his luck holds and he is re-elected, he will
be mayor, very much in the public eye and no longer
undercover.

WASHINGTON Obamacare
escaped unharmed from the gov-
ernment shutdown Republicans
hoped would stop it, but just as
quickly they have opened a new
line of attack one handed to
them by the administration itself.
While Congress was arguing,
President Barack Obamas plan to
expand coverage for the uninsured
suffered a self-inicted wound. A
computer system seemingly
designed by gremlins gummed up
the rst open enrollment season.
After nearly three weeks, its still
not xed.
Republicans hope to ride that
and other defects they see in the
law into the 2014 congressional
elections. Four Democratic sena-
tors are facing
re-election for
the rst time
since they
voted for the
Af f o r d a b l e
Care Act, and
their defeat is
critical to GOP aspirations for a
Senate majority.
Democrats say thats just more
wishful thinking, if not obses-
sion.
Although Obamas law remains
divisive, only 29 percent of the
public favors its complete repeal,
according to a recent Gallup poll.
The business-oriented wing of the
Republican party wants to move
on to other issues. Americans may
be growing weary of the health
care ght.
This is the law of the land at
this point, said Michael Weaver,
a self-employed photographer
from rural southern Illinois whos
been uninsured for about a year.
We need to stop the arguing and
move forward to make it work.
It took him about a week and
half, but Weaver kept going back
to th healthcare.gov website until
he was able to open an account and
apply for a tax credit that will
reduce his premiums. Hes not
completely finished because he
hasnt selected an insurance plan,
but hes been able to browse
options.
It beats providing page after
page of personal health informa-
tion to insurance companies,
Weaver said.
Under the new law, insurers have
to accept people with health prob-
lems. Weaver is in his mid-50s,
with high blood pressure and high
cholesterol, but otherwise in good
health. He says those common
conditions made it hard for him to
get coverage before.
Although Weaver seems to have
gotten past the major website
obstacles, hes still nding short-
comings. Theres no place to type
in his medications and nd out
what plans cover them. I wish
there was more detail, so you could
really gure it out, he said.
Such a nuanced critique appears
to be lost on congressional
Republicans.
( h a s h ) T r a i n Wr e c k :
Skyrocketing Prices, Blank
Screens, & Error Messages,
screamed the headline on a press
release Friday from House Speaker
John Boehner, R-Ohio. A House
hearing on the botched
Obamacare rollout is scheduled
for this coming week. GOP law-
makers want Health and Human
Services Secretary Kathleen
Sebelius to resign.
Administration officials, in
their most detailed accounting yet
of the early rollout, said Saturday
that about 476,000 health insur-
ance applications have been led
through federal and state
exchanges. But the ofcials con-
tinue to refuse say how many peo-
ple have enrolled in the insurance
markets.
Without enrollment gures, its
unclear whether the program is on
track to reach the 7 million people
projecting by the Congressional
Budget Ofce to gain coverage dur-
ing the six-month sign-up period.
The president was expected to
address the problems on Monday
during a health care event at the
White House. The administration
has yet to fully explain what has
gone wrong with the online
Republicans making Obamacare their next target

WASHINGTON Sixteen days in
October could change everything, or
not much at all.
Will the partial government shut-
down prove to be the turning point
after three years of partisan skir-
mishing in Washington? Or was it
just a halftime show to re up the
players?
With federal employees back at
work for now, lawmakers are getting
a chance to nd a compromise on
spending cuts and settle their vast
differences. If they fail, they risk a
repeat shutdown in mid-January, fol-
lowed a few weeks later by the recur-
ring danger of the government
defaulting on its debts.
Alook at where things stand after
the shutdown:
THE PLAYERS
President Barack Obama won a
round by refusing to back down. The
public didnt applaud his handling of
the crisis, but scored congressional
Republicans even lower. Obamas
overall approval rating held steady,
and so did the nations divided opin-
ion of his health care law. He
strengthened his hand for next time.
House Speaker John Boehner,
R-Ohio, conceded a loss for his
party. But personally he came out
OK. Boehner placated his boisterous
tea party-backed members by letting
them take a doomed stand against the
health law, then got credit for nally
allowing the shutdown to end on
mostly Democratic votes.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, made a
name for himself by leading the tea
party charge toward shutdown. About
half of the respondents in a recent
Associated Press-GfK poll knew
enough about Cruz to form an opinion
impressive for a senator elected
less than a year ago. The bad news for
Cruz? Their opinion was negative by a
2-1 margin.
Senate Republican leader Mitch
McConnell of Kentucky is catching
heat for helping reopen the govern-
ment. McConnell agrees with many
of his fellow GOP senators that the
shutdown was bad strategy and must
not be repeated. That puts him on the
wrong side of the partys tea party
wing, and a tea party-backed candidate
is challenging McConnell in the pri-
mary for his Senate seat.
TEA PARTY
The tea party, billed as a move-
ment of the people, is getting
slammed in national polls.
Democrats say its belligerent tactics
have been discredited. Much of the
Republican establishment agrees.
Tea party lawmakers dont care.
Tea party favorites in Congress are
more focused on the opinions of vot-
ers back home, their big money sup-
porters and outside groups, such as
Heritage Action, that inuence elec-
tions.
Cruz, criticized by many fellow
Republicans for fomenting the
standoff, says hes content to be
reviled in Washington, D.C., and
appreciated in Texas.
Cruz says he remains as deter-
mined as ever.
I would do anything, and I will
continue to do anything I can, he
said, to stop the train wreck that is
Obamacare.
BIG VERSUS SMALL
GOVERNMENT
Did Americans learn anything
from the partial shutdown?
Obama says it showed just how
many things, large and small, the
government does to help people.
Conservatives saw the opposite
lesson that federal workers can
disappear without being missed.
Theres some evidence for both
ideas.
Lots of people were inconve-
nienced and some lives were serious-
ly disrupted, but most Americans
werent personally touched by the
shutdown. Less than one-third said
someone in their home was affected,
according to an NBC News/Wall
Street Journal poll conducted Oct. 7-
9.
That doesnt mean they shrugged
off the effects beyond their front
door.
About two-thirds in that poll felt
the shutdown was harming the econ-
omy. Consumer condence dropped
to its lowest level in more than a
year, according to Gallup polling.
THE ECONOMY
Forget turkey dinners and sleigh
bells in the snow. Washingtons new
tradition is scaring holiday shop-
pers.
Last year politicians slowed sales
by hanging the threat of a scal
cliff over the holiday season,
before working out a deal in the new
year.
This year, the government shut-
down already has taken a toll.
Economists and Standard & Poors
estimate that it cost the economy
$24 billion, or about $75 for every
U.S. resident.
Consumers may stay worried,
especially if they hear bad news from
Republican and Democratic lawmak-
ers who are meeting over the next
two months in hopes of reaching a
spending deal to avert another scal
standoff in January.
AMERICAS IMAGE
Sure, its embarrassing. Americas
image took a hit. Other countries are
snickering.
Obama says the latest spectacle
depressed the nations friends and
heartened its enemies. But it should-
nt have surprised them much. The
world has witnessed three years of
stalemates and standoffs between
Democrats and Republicans since
the GOP won control of the House in
2010.
In the long view, the U.S. reputa-
tion, and especially its appeal for
investors, doesnt dent easily. After
all, where else can the world park its
money? Treasury bonds have scant
competition as the safest place to
stash reserves.
Will 16 days of shutdown change anything?

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina
Argentinas agricultural industry has
been dramatically transformed by the
introduction of genetically modied
plants in 1996.
A country once known for its grass-
fed beef is now dominated by soy, corn
and cotton. Soy harvests alone have
tripled, ranking Argentina as the
worlds third largest soybean producer.
But the pesticides powering this
boom are poorly controlled and used in
ways that were never anticipated by reg-
ulatory science, if not specifically
banned by law.
Doctors and scientist worry the
chemicals may be the cause of rising
cancer rates, birth defects and other
health problems.
Aixa Cano, a shy 5-year-old who
lives in Chaco, Argentinas poorest
province, was born with hairy moles all
over her body. Her mother believes the
skin condition was caused by contami-
nated water.
Fabian Tomasi, 47, never wore any
protective gear in the years he spent
pumping poisons into crop-dusting
planes. Today, he is near death from
polyneuropathy, a neurological disor-
der that has left him emaciated.
The Monsanto Co., one of several
agricultural companies that sell pesti-
cides in Argentina, says it is working
with government ofcials and farmers
to promote better pesticide practices.
But an Associated Press investigation
found that Argentine farmers now use
more than twice as much pesticide per
acre as U.S. farmers do, making
Argentina a laboratory for what can go
wrong with biotech farming.
Pesticides are applied in windy condi-
tions, drifting into homes and schools
and contaminating drinking water.
Farm workers mix chemicals without
supervision, in populated areas and
with no protective gear. People store
water in used pesticide containers that
are resold rather than destroyed, endan-
gering their families health.
Argentinas agriculture secretary dis-
misses a growing call for reform as an
emotional response from people who
misunderstand the impact of agrochem-
icals. We have to defend our model, he
said at an industry conference this year
where he promised new guidelines for
spraying the chemicals.
Doctors say new guidelines arent
enough. They want strong enforcement
of spraying limits as well as field
research into the correlation they see
between the overuse of agrochemicals
and health problems some of which
were seldom seen before the new farm-
ing model took off.

Nearly halfway through the
West Catholic Athletic League
football season and the Serra
Padres have established a clear for-
mula for success: Dominant
defense plus explosive plays on
offense equals victory.
Its a formula the Padres are exe-
cuting to near perfection and
Saturday afternoon versus Valley
Christian was no exception.
The Warriors would not score
until midway through the fourth
quarter and by then Kava Cassidy
on the ground plus Kelepi
Lataimua, Easop Winston and
Austin Jackson through the air had
already carried Serra to four touch-
downs in what was a 28-7 win for
the Padres.
Serra is now 3-0 in WCAL play
and, for the third straight league
game, their defense has kept an
opponent to single-digit scoring.
Im just really proud of how the
defense has responded, said Serra
head coach Patrick Walsh.
Whoever we plug in there, they
seem to be prepared by the defen-
sive staff and they play hard.
The Serra defensive effort equat-
ed to Valley Christian amassing
just 155 yards of total offense.
On the other hand, the Padres
were efcient offensively and their
386 yards were more than enough
to put distance between them and
the Warriors on the stat sheet and,
more importantly, on the score-
board.
Its just good to see some other
guys contribute which has freed up
Kava (Cassidy) to focus on one
side of the ball, Walsh said of his
rushing attack that featured a
tough, grinding kind of game by
No. 8 as the featured back of the
afternoon. Cassidy caught two
passes for 11 yards and ran the ball
125 yards on 21 carries to lead the
Serra offensive attack. He also
scored the Padres last touchdown
of the afternoon in the fourth quar-
ter.
For the rest of the time, Serra
relied on the big play to nd the
end zone. The Padres got on the
board near the end of the rst quar-
ter when Matt Faaita threw a 32-
yard touchdown pass to Winston,
a senior wide receiver, on fourth
down. The big fourth down play
would be a theme for the Padres.
Three drives later, after Serra
turned the ball over on its previ-
ous possession, Faaita found
Jackson on another fourth down
pass that the wideout turned into a
41-yard touchdown pitch and
catch.
They pretty much changed the
game, Walsh said of those plays.
With our offense this year, we
dont panic when its third and
Serra cruises to win over Valley Christian

NASHVILLE, Tenn. The San Francisco
49ers know how to start a very long road
trip in winning style.
Colin Kaepernick threw for 199 yards and
ran for 68 and a touchdown, helping the
49ers start a two-game road swing by beat-
ing the Tennessee Titans 31-17 Sunday.
The 49ers (5-2) won their fourth straight
before heading to London for a game with
winless Jacksonville by jumping to a 17-0
halftime lead. Frank Gore also ran for a pair
of 1-yard TDs as San Francisco cruised.
This was a big game, and we were treat-
ing it like the biggest game of the season,
49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said. It was our
next game. This was Game 7 for us, and we
were treating it like Game 7 for us, and we
were treating it like Game 7 of the World
Series or Game 7 of the Stanley Cup. Now
the next game will be Game 8.
Tramaine Brock also intercepted a pass,
Justin Smith had two of the 49ers three
sacks and Kassim Osgood recovered a
muffed punt for a TD.

The Los Angeles Galaxy clinched a play-
off berth with a scoreless draw against the
San Jose Earthquakes on Sunday night.
The Galaxy (15-11-7) are third in the
Western Conference, two points behind
Portland and one back of Real Salt Lake.
They were eliminated from contention for
the Supporters Shield, which goes to the
team with the best regular-season record.
Seattle also secured a playoff spot with
the result, and will take on Los Angeles in a
regular-season nale next Sunday night.
The Galaxy have won the last two MLS
Cups.
A hard-fought contest, kind of like a
playoff atmosphere, Galaxy coach Bruce
Arena said. San Jose played a good game,
the kind of game we thought theyd play,
and in the end its probably a fair result.
Asked about the playoff berth, Arena
cracked: Oh, Im just doing cartwheels
over that.
The Earthquakes (13-11-9) are sixth in the
West, three points behind Seattle and
Colorado. The top ve teams in each con-
ference make the playoffs.
San Jose reaches the postseason if
Colorado loses to Vancouver next weekend
and the Earthquakes beat FC Dallas while
scoring at least 13 goals, more if the Rapids
score.
Weve got a very disappointed locker
room right now, San Jose coach Mark
Watson said. Well approach (next weeks)

BOSTON Koji Uehara wasnt Bostons
rst choice to be closer this season.
Or the second.
The 38-year-old right-hander got the job
after neither Joel Hanrahan nor Andrew
Bailey lasted as closer. Uehara was setting
up for them before he inherited the ninth-
inning role in late June, and by October he
was the AL championship series MVP.
All I can say that Im extremely,
extremely happy right now, he said after
the Red Sox beat the Detroit Tigers 5-2 in
Game 6 of the ALCS on Saturday night to
advance to the World Series.
Uehara pitched a scoreless ninth in the
clincher, giving him three saves and a vic-
tory in the four wins Boston needed to win
the AL pennant for the third time in 10
years. After converting 21 of 24 save
opportunities in the regular season with a
1.09 ERA, he is ve of ve while allowing
one run in nine innings in the playoffs.
And hes not done yet.
The World Series starts in Boston on
Wednesday, when the Red Sox will play the
St. Louis Cardinals in a rematch of the
1946, 1967 and 2004 Series. Uehara is a
big reason why, anchoring a bullpen that

Florida State has been a tease in
recent seasons.
Plenty of talent, some impres-
sive steps forward, but always a
few frustrating steps back.
For the rst time since Bobby
Bowdens Seminoles were in the
midst of one of the great runs in
college football history back in
the 1990s, Florida State looks
ready for a serious run at the
national championship.
Florida State moved up to No. 3
in the Associated Press college
football poll after a wild weekend
produced an extensive makeover of
the Top 25.
Alabama is still No. 1, Oregon
still second and Ohio State still
fourth, but otherwise there was
much movement.
Florida State moved up two
spots after its 51-14 win at
Clemson on Saturday night.
The Crimson Tide received 55
rst-place votes from the media
panel. Oregon got three rst-place
votes and Florida State received
two, the rst time the Seminoles
have gotten rst-place votes since
Sept. 2, 2002. Florida State is 6-0
for the rst time since 1999, its
last national championship sea-
son.
The BCS standings come out
later Sunday and Florida State will
be in the mix with Alabama and
Oregon for those top two spots.
The Seminoles destruction of
Clemson has to count as the most
impressive performance of the sea-
son.
Coach Jimbo Fishers team is
built similarly to Alabama
Fisher was Tide coach Nick
Sabans offensive coordinator at
LSU so in many ways theyre
easy to compare.
Playmakers everywhere on
offense, with Florida State having
better receivers and Alabama better
backs. NFL prospects on all three
levels of the defense.
One clear advantage for Florida
State is at quarterback, which
might seem hard to believe consid-
ering AJ McCarron has led the Tide
to two national titles and is so
much more than the game-manager
he has been too often labeled. But
redshirt freshman Jameis Winston
has quickly put himself in the
Andrew Luck category of college
quarterbacks. Winston looks as if
he could play in the NFLright now
and not be overwhelmed.
The guy is a competitor,
Fisher said after Winston threw for
444 yards against Clemson. He
steps up in the moment, but we
played well around him.
Florida State has passed its big
test, but it has been the little ones
that have tripped up FSU in recent
years.
Last season it was a loss at North
Carolina State. The year before a
loss at Wake Forest. In 2010, a
loss at NC State.
The Wolf Pack is next up for the
Seminoles back at Doak Campbell
Stadium on Saturday, before what
could be another top-10 matchup
against the rival Seminoles on
Nov. 2 in Tallahassee.
Florida State is back? That can
be said with more condence now
than at any point in the last
decade.
MOVING UP
Five teams ranked in last weeks
top 10 lost to opponents that were
lower-ranked or unranked.
The result: Missouri and Baylor
both made big leaps into the top
ve.
Missouri went from 14 to fth,
its best ranking since 2008. No. 6
Baylor jumped to its highest rank-
ing since 1980.
Miami is No. 7, followed by
Stanford, Clemson and Texas Tech
at No. 10.
Missouris rise has been star-
tling. The Tigers went 5-7 in an
inauspicious and injury plagued
Southeastern Conference debut
last year. The Tigers improved to
7-0 on Saturday by beating
Florida, a week after beating
Georgia, and took rm control of
the SEC East.

Breaking down the Associated Press college football poll after Week 8 of the regular season.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The College of San Mateo foot-
ball team has been looking for-
ward to the start of the 2013
NorCal Conference schedule for
some time now.
No more need to speculate, look
at rankings, or listen to early-sea-
son predictions. Finally, it was
time for some real football.
And by the way they took care of
Foothill College in the conference
opener, any pent-up anxiousness
was expunged in a 33-0 win.
George Naufahu ran for 136
yards on 16 carries to lead a CSM
rushing attack that racked up 265
yards on the ground against the
Owls.
Through the air, Casey Wichman
was 9 of 18 for 79 yards with a
touchdown and an interception.
But the real star of the game was
CSMs defense, which held
Foothill to just 197 yards of
offense and forced ve turnovers
(including four interceptions).
Wichman scored on a 1-yard run
with 1:00 left in the rst quarter to
get the scoring started for the
Bulldogs.
Less than three minutes later,
Naufahu found the end zone from
seven yards away to make it 13-0.
It was a score that was set up by
CSMs second interception of the
game.
In the third quarter, CSM man-
aged to turn another turnover into
seven points. This time, Jared
Puamau found the Promised Land
from five yards away after a
Foothill fumble. Naufahu scored
again less than three minutes later
to put the game away for good.
But, for good measure, former
Menlo-Atherton standout Taylor
Mashack intercepted a pass and
went 85 yards for a touchdown to
leave absolutely no doubt.
The win gives CSM serious
momentum as they head into their
yearly showdown with City
College of San Francisco.
MENLO VOLLEYBALLWINS
Menlo concluded the rst half of
Cal Pac play on Saturday afternoon
with an impressive 3-1 win over
the visiting UC Merced Bobcats,
25-22, 25-18, 23-24, 25-20. The
Lady Oaks remain perfect in the
conference play and in sole pos-
session of first place while
improving their overall record to
12-5 (6-0). UC Merced falls to 11-
8 (3-1).
Things looked grim for Menlo
early on when UC Merced came out
hitting on all cylinders and took a
commanding 8-1 lead to start
things off. However, the savvy
Menlo squad maintained its com-
posure and climbed back into the
game and eventually pulled out the
25-22 win. They were aided in the
set win, in large part, by a four-
point run, including two aces on
the serve of Jamie Nurenberg. The
Menlo junior led all players with
four aces on the night while the
team totaled an impressive 13.
Disrupting the offense was key
as four different players chipped in
double-digit digs in a strong defen-
sive effort that led to the win.
Courtney Calicdan led the team
with 25 followed by Nicole Yap
with 11 and Emma Oehler and
Kelly Sung both added 10. The
defense and strong serving led
Menlo to a decisive 25-18 game
two win to enter the break leading
2-0.
In the fourth game, it was all
Menlo as the efforts of Calicdan,
Yap and the Menlo offense sealed
the deal. Yap nished with a match-
best 20 kills while Calicdan was
close behind with 18. Kelly Sung
recorded her second 45+ assist per-
formance of the week with 45 on
the night.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS At the trade dead-
line in July, the Cardinals
appeared to be in the market for
starting pitching. Instead, St.
Louis stood pat and trusted their
young arms.
That trust paid off in a trip to
the World Series.
Michael Wacha capped a nearly
untouchable month by being
selected the NL championship
series MVP after outpitching Los
Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton
Kershaw for the second time in a
9-0 win in Game 6 Friday night.
Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright,
a 19-game winner, said the 22-
year-old rookie has been so good
he wouldnt be surprised if Wacha
was on the mound for Game 1 of
the Fall Classic on Wednesday at
the winner of the ALCS between
Boston and Detroit.
I told them if we have enough
time off they might try to get
Michael back for Game 1,
Wainwright said during the
Cardinals celebration Friday.
You never know.
Joe Kelly was the strongest
member of the rotation for a long
stretch in the summer and has been
tough in the postseason, too.
Closer Trevor Rosenthal hit 100
mph on the stadium radar in nish-
ing off the Cardinals 19th NL
pennant, tied with the Giants for
the most in the league. Carlos
Martinez emerged as the setup
man, 41st-round draft pick Kevin
Siegrist had a lights-out 0.43 ERA
and Seth Maness was one of the
best at inducing the double-play
ball.
Kelly is in his second season
and the rest are rookies, all of
them enjoying themselves in the
postseason instead of stressing
out about the implications of each
pitch.
Wacha made his major league
debut in late May, but he was back
at Triple-A Memphis when many
of his teammates were promoted.
They were performing at a high
level, they werent letting a lot of
things affect them, Wacha said.
So whenever I got called up, I felt
like I had to hang with these
guys.
The Cardinals have a mid-level
payroll with a handful of high-
paid players and rely heavily on a
system that keeps promoting
prospects who keep coming
through. After dispatching the
free-spending Dodgers, theyre
seeking their second title in three
years and third since 2006.
Payrolls arent playing, the
players are playing, chairman
Bill DeWitt Jr. said.
As the rookie ll-closer on a
veteran-laden team, Wainwright
got the nal out of the NLCS and
World Series in 06. The current
crop is a lot deeper, inuencing
general manager John Mozeliaks
no-deal strategy.
Wacha leads the way, a little
more than a year after the
Cardinals drafted him in the rst
round out of Texas A&M.
The 6-foot-6 right-hander held
the Nationals to no-hits for 8 2-3
innings in his nal start of the sea-
son and is 3-0 with an 0.43 ERAi n
three postseason starts. He kept
the Cardinals alive in Game 4 of
division series at Pittsburgh.
I think our general manager had
a pretty good plan, Wainwright
said. I think he knew he had an
ace in the hole. I think the rest of
the world wanted him to go out and
sign a big-name starting pitcher.
Turns out they had more than
enough pitching to overcome seri-
ous setbacks to three-fths of the
starting rotation entering spring
training, Edward Mujicas collapse
the nal month after earning 35
saves and the failures of other pro-
jected bullpen stalwarts.

FONTANA Scott Dixon won his rst
championship at 23, too young to appreci-
ate what hed accomplished in his rst full
season with Chip Ganassi Racing and their
rst year competing in the IndyCar Series.
The next title ve seasons later capped
one of those years you only dream about:
Dixon won six races, the Indianapolis 500,
married his wife, Emma, and topped it all off
with his second championship.
Then Dario Franchitti returned to IndyCar,
as his teammate at Ganassi, and Dixon
became an also-ran. He won 10 races over
the next three years, but lost the champi-
onship every time to his new teammate.
Franchitti won three consecutive titles from
2009 to 2011, and picked up two more Indy
500 wins in that span, beating Dixon in
2012 as the two swapped the lead with each
other 11 times in the nal 47 laps.
But Dixon, who will go down as one of the
greatest drivers in American open-wheel
history when his career comes to a close,
was never out of the hunt. Not even this sea-
son, when he was not part of the champi-
onship picture at the halfway mark.
Dixon completed a remarkable rally
Saturday night to win his third champi-
onship ve years after his last title, and
10 years after his rst and marveled at
how different each journey had been.
The rst one, I think I was young, just
didnt really understand what I had won. My
perspective when I was 22 or 23 of what I
actually did to what I understand now is
totally different, he said. And 08 was a
dream year. Got married, won the Indy 500
and the championship. Pretty hard to beat
that.
This year I think has been far different,
just in the fact midseason we didnt think we
had a shot at the championship.
Winless after the 10th race of the season,
Dixons 16th-place finish at Iowa had
dropped him to seventh in the standings. He
and Franchitti had both been written out of
the championship picture, and an incident
in the Iowa race with points leader Helio
Castroneves had made Dixon furious.
I remember having a conversation with
Helio after Iowa, I was like Man, you need
to watch out. Im not in the championship,
dont do that again, because otherwise I can
maybe hinder your championship, Dixon
recalled Saturday night. Its funny how it
turned out to be us ghting it out in the last
few races.
Two weeks after that Iowa race, Dixon
broke through at Pocono for his rst victo-
ry of the year. He then swept the double-
header in Toronto for three wins in seven
days, and Dixon was suddenly second in the
standings and very much in the champi-
onship hunt.
Dixon completes comeback, wins third IndyCar title
allowed the Tigers just one run in 21 innings
of relief.
I think coming to the postseason, there
were a lot of questions circling around our
guys to bridge it to Koji, said Red Sox man-
ager John Farrell, praising setup men
Junichi Tazawa and Craig Breslow, who
along with Brandon Workman pitched four
scoreless innings after the Red Sox fell
behind 2-1. They couldnt have pitched
anymore consistently, more effectively.
Since giving up a game-ending homer to
Tampa Bays Jose Lobaton in Game 3 of the
division series, Uehara has allowed zero
runs, four hits and no walks in 7 1-3
innings. He pitched a perfect ninth in the
Game 2 victory over the Tigers, got four outs
for the save in the third game, retired ve in
a row in Game 5 and closed out the series
with another scoreless inning.
Thats why he was leaping into catcher
Jarrod Saltalamacchias arms after striking
out Jose Iglesias to clinch the trip to the
Series and draped in an AL championship
ag on the stand wheeled onto the ineld for
the trophy presentation.
I was reading a lot of the articles today
about when they signed him, they probably
in their own mind didnt anticipate this was
going to happen, Tigers manager Jim
Leyland said before the nale. But some-
times it does. And they caught lightning in
a bottle. Hes been absolutely terrific,
theres no question about that.

MILLBRAE I
recently received a
phone call from a
local realtor who
was shocked to find
an urn with
cremated remains
located in the closet
of an empty house under renovation. He
had been told by someone working on the
property to just throw these cremated
remains into a dumpster, which didnt seem
right, and he wanted my advice. I told him
that under no circumstances are cremated
remains to be thrown into a dumpster. In
cases where unidentified human remains are
discovered, the County Coroners Office is
to be notified so they can investigate and
determine the appropriate course of action.
Discovering unidentified or seemingly
abandoned cremated remains is disturbing
but not uncommon. Stories of cremated
remains being found on their own in an
unoccupied house or apartment is a problem
that is significant and needs to be addressed.
Ive met with countless families at the
Chapel of the Highlands whove selected
cremation as the final disposition. Even
though these families have decided on
cremation, this is still not the final step of
the process. The next-of-kin is required to
inform us on where the cremated remains
are to go after the physical cremation has
taken place. The cremated remains can
either to be inurned in a cemetery, scattered
at sea or taken to the residence of the next-
of-kin. Those who select to keep the
cremated remains at home feel a desire to
have their loved ones ashes close to them,
or simply have not decided on a final
location to place their loved ones cremains.
The key concept for these families to
understand is that keeping cremated remains
at home is a temporary solution and not a
final destination. Some may think that the
cremated remains will be passed down to
following generations and cared for in their
family, but this idea is not being realistic. It
is important to be prepared with a plan to
place the cremated remains in a more
permanent location such as a cemetery or
having them scattering at sea. At the Chapel
of the Highlands we regularly assist families
by guiding them toward a comfortable
solution when these types of situations come
up. Even after long periods with cremated
remains being kept at home we can always
help families in making the correct decisions
and to plan for the future.
Remember, if cremated remains are kept
at home, no matter how well intended,
unforeseen situations can and do come up.
The next-of-kin, who has custody of the
cremated remains, may become ill or pass
away without leaving instructions on what to
do if the cremated remains are left behind.
No matter what the situation you can call us
at the Chapel of the Highlands and we will
help in finding an appropriate solution for
placement of the cremated remains.
If you are still keeping cremated remains
at home please plan a permanent disposition
by leaving instructions in a will, with family
or an executor. This will help insure that the
cremains will be given a final resting place
and shown the respect they deserve.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info
you may also visit us on the internet at:

long or fourth and long anymore. We have
the weapons to potentially get that rst
down. Those were touchdowns, but it was
rst down yardage. And in previous years,
when its third and 12 or long yardage,
through the air it was more difcult to pick
those up.
In the meantime, the Warriors could do
very little offensively. They racked up just
87 yards of total offense and the closest
they came to scoring was a 26-yard eld
goal attempt that wound up wide left. For the
game, the Warriors missed both their eld
goal attempts.
Up comfortably as they were, it wasnt
like the Padres were particularly sharp. They
did turn the ball over three times (two inter-
ceptions and a fumble). So, with Faaita
struggling with his accuracy, Anthony
Smock would come in to spell him.
That was to provide opportunities for
both kids, Walsh said.
Obviously, Matt wasnt on. But its not
like pitchers where you cant put pitchers
back in the game. Both the kids understand
its a team sports and they love each other
which is a good thing to have. [Its] a nice
luxury to have, he said.
With 4:44 left in the third quarter,
Lataimua got in on the action with a sensa-
tional 60-yard touchdown catch that featured
a sweet spin move up the Serra sideline and
into the end zone to make it 21-0.
Cassidys TD came at the end of a nine-
play, 59-yard drive three seconds into the
fourth quarter.

and knee. Locker threw for 326 yards, with
two TD passes in a fourth-quarter spurt that
came up short. Coach Mike Munchak
defended the decision to start Locker, say-
ing the quarterback was ready. Locker also
ran three times for 29 yards.
We felt comfortable hed be able to pro-
tect himself, Munchak said. I think he
showed he could do that.
The Titans outgained the 49ers 368-349
in total offense only because of a frantic
fourth quarter as they tried to rally. San
Francisco still had a big edge in time of pos-
session, holding the ball for more than 35
minutes, including the third quarter when
the 49ers played keepaway for more than 11
minutes. Gore capped the opening drive of
the third with his second TD for a 24-0 lead.
I dont know how you dene midseason
form, but we have strung together a few
wins and we feel pretty good about what
were doing right now, Kaepernick said.
Tennessee tried to make it interesting late
in a nish that featured plenty of pushing
and shoving. Even Harbaugh got an arm
caught up in a scrum on the San Francisco
sideline after Kaepernick dived in trying to
recover what he and the Titans thought was
a fumble.
I was just trying to get them apart,
Harbaugh said.
Locker tossed a short pass to Chris
Johnson for a 66-yard TD, pulling
Tennessee within 24-10 with 7:07 left, and
the Titans forced the 49ers to punt.
But Tommie Campbell blocked Darryl
Morris into Darius Reynaud, who muffed the
punt. Osgood recovered in the end zone for
the clinching TD.
Locker found former 49ers tight end
Delanie Walker on a 26-yard TD with 3:17
left.
The Titans were offside on the ensuing
onside kick, and the 49ers recovered to run
out the clock.
The 49ers were in control from the start
with plenty of fans on hand, and they took
advantage of Tennessees 10 penalties for
100 yards. The most costly came when line-
backer Akeem Ayers hit Kaepernick at the
knees for an unnecessary roughness ag
that wiped out an interception by safety
Bernard Pollard. Three plays later,
Kaepernick ran 20 yards for a TD and a 10-0
lead.
The Titans held Gore to 70 yards rushing
on 24 carries, but he got into the end zone
twice. They could not stop Kaepernick, who
repeatedly kept drives alive in improving to
12-5 as a starter.
He continues to get better every game
since hes been playing, Harbaugh said.
He got a game ball last week and I thought
he was very effective today both running
and throwing. I cant say enough good
things about him.
Locker hadnt been expected back before
Nov. 3, when the Titans visit St. Louis after
their bye. Playing with a knee brace, he hit
seven of his rst 10 passes for 80 yards. His
best run was 16-yarder giving the Titans
first-and-goal early in the fourth quarter
when Locker put his head down diving for-
ward. They wound up settling for a eld
goal.
We found ways to stall drives out,
Locker said. I didnt think it was really us
getting going. Weve got to nd ways to do
that.

possible, but I think weve put ourselves
in a very difficult position.
Landon Donovan, Robbie Keane and
Omar Gonzalez returned to the lineup for
the Galaxy, who had more of the ball and
the better play but struggled to create
chances. Their best opportunity was in the
83rd minute, when Marcelo Sarvas forced a
leaping stop from goalkeeper Jon Busch.
Los Angeles thought it deserved a penal-
ty kick when Gyasi Zardes went down in
San Joses box after a challenge from
Walter Martinez, but referee Baldomero
Toledo made no call.
The Earthquakes had four legitimate
scoring chances, all in the first half, and
were pressing in the final minutes.

here are things in life I wont pay
for if I can help it. I wont pay for
someone to mow my lawn, paint a
room in my house, organize my closet or
wash my car. I will gladly take street park-
ing and park blocks from a venue so I can
avoid paying to park in a lot. While my
wife and I love our Peets coffee in the
morning, we buy in bulk, brew at home
and enjoy it just as much. And, I dont like
to pay for brews of another kind the
$11 ones at AT&T Park. I wont pay a
cover charge to get into a club. Heck, who
am I kidding? My clubbing days are long
gone. Not sure if all this makes me cheap,
frugal or resourceful. Maybe a little bit of
everything. Recently, I added dog groom-
ing to this list. Murrays cuts were costing
$90 a pop, including a tip; we dont tip
our vet yet we tip the groomer and Im not
exactly sure why. My wife joked that
Murrays cuts cost more than hers, and he
went more often! Still, as a non-shedding
dog, he needs regular grooming to keep
him from developing painful matting.
When a friend bought electric clippers to
groom her dog at home and I saw the
results, I was intrigued and asked to bor-
row it. Murray was a champ! I offered him
treats throughout the 45-minute process
and he didnt make much of a fuss. In the
end, not a bad result. I bought the same
model and have since used it three times.
Im not winning any extreme grooming
contests, but hes presentable. And, this
projects to an annual savings of $500. If
you have the time and your dog can toler-
ate grooming at the hands of a novice,
this is a great way to save money or add it
to another bucket for something you cant
live without.

NEWYORK Star power and
Oscar aspirations are reigning at
the box ofce, where the space
adventure Gravity and the
Somali pirate docudrama Captain
Phillips are holding off all com-
ers.
With $31 million over the
weekend according to studio esti-
mates Sunday, Gravity topped
the box ofce for the third straight
week, cementing its status as the
juggernaut of the fall movie-
going season. It also took in
another $33.5 million overseas.
The 3-D Warner Bros. movie,
staring Sandra Bullock and George
Clooney, has now made more
than $170 million in three weeks.
The lms groundbreaking visuals
have been particularly popular on
IMAX screens, where it made an
Avatar-like $7.4 million on the
weekend.
Captain Phillips, starring
Tom Hanks and directed by Paul
Greengrass, also held in second
place, taking in $17.3 million in
its second week. The Sony lm
slid only 33 percent from its debut
last weekend of $25.7 million.
The two movies and their veter-
an stars were able to keep three
new wide releases at bay: the hor-
ror remake Carrie ($17 million
for Sony and MGM), the
Sylvester Stallone and Arnold
Schwarzenegger action flick
Escape Plan ($9.8 million for
Lionsgate), and the WikiLeaks
drama The Fifth Estate.
The last utterly opped a
fate predicted by its subject,
WikiLeaks founder Julian
Assange taking in a paltry
$1.7 million for Disney. Its the
worst debut this year for a lm in
such wide release (1,769 the-
aters).
Its a very strong lineup that is
not budging, said Paul
Dergarabedian, senior media ana-
lyst for box-office tracker
Rentrak, who noted the primary
family choice, Cloudy With a
Chance of Meatballs 2, is also
holding steady with $10.1 mil-
lion in its fourth week. Carrie
came into a very competitive
marketplace.
In a limited release of just 19
theaters, Steve McQueens high-
ly-anticipated slavery epic 12
Years a Slave, starring
Chiwetel Ejiofor, opened with
$960,000.

WASHINGTON When Carol
Burnett launched her namesake
variety show in the 1960s, one TV
executive told her the genre was a
mans game. She proved him
wrong with an 11-year run that
averaged 30 million viewers each
week.
On Sunday, the trailblazing
comedienne will receive the
nations top humor prize at the
Kennedy Center for the Performing
Arts. Top entertainers including
Julie Andrews, Tony Bennett, Tina
Fey and Amy Poehler will pay trib-
ute to Burnett as she receives the
Mark Twain Prize for American
Humor.
The show will be taped and
broadcast Nov. 24 on PBS sta-
tions.
In an interview, Burnett said she
was drawn to comedy after realizing
how it felt to make people laugh.
She went to UCLA with plans to
become a journalist, but she took
an acting course that put her on
stage in front of classmates.
I played a hillbilly woman, and
coming from Texas ... it was real
easy for me, she said. I just made
my entrance, and I said, Im
Baaack. Then they exploded.
I thought whoa! This feels
good, Burnett said. Id never
been that popular in school. ... All
of a sudden, it just opened up to
me.
Few women were doing comedy
when Burnett set her sights on New
York. She caught a break when she
was spotted by talent bookers from
TVs The Ed Sullivan Show and
was invited to perform her rendi-
tion of I Made a Fool of Myself
over John Foster Dulles.
Almost immediately, Burnett
transformed Dulles, the former sec-
retary of state, from a
Presbyterian bureaucrat into a
smoking hot sex symbol, said
Cappy McGarr, the co-creator of
Carol Burnett receives top U.S. humor prize in DC

strike plays a role in that I cant say at this
time.
BART ofcials said on Sunday that they
could no longer discuss the accident because
of the ongoing NTSB investigation.
BARTs assistant general manager has
said that the four-car train with several
employees aboard was returning from a rou-
tine maintenance trip and was being run in
automatic mode under computer control
when it struck the workers who were
inspecting a section of track in the East Bay
city of Walnut Creek.
Neither BART nor the county coroner has
released the names and ages of the victims
one a BART employee and the other a
contractor. They were the sixth and seventh
workers to die on the job in the systems
41-year history.
Southworth said it is too early to know
how fast the train was going or if workers
saw or heard it coming. He and a colleague
hope to interview the person who was oper-
ating the train and BART dispatchers as
soon as Monday.
Even if the strike ended immediately, the
ongoing investigation at the collision site
means it would probably take a few days
before trains could run on those specic
tracks, he said.
These accidents occur in an instant, but
they take very long to investigate, he said.
The NTSB has been promoting improved
safety measures for track maintenance crews
since the May death of a foreman who was
killed by a passenger train in West Haven,
Conn., spokesman Eric Weiss said.
In June, the board urged the Metro-North
Railroad to provide backup protection for
crews that were relying on dispatchers to
close tracks while they are being worked on
and to light the appropriate signals.
The investigators now in California will
be checking to see if BARTuses shunts
a device that crews can attach to the rails in
a work zone that gives approaching trains a
stop signal or any other of the backup
measures the NTSB recommended for the
Metro-North system, Weiss said.
Obviously, we are very concerned any-
time anyone dies in transportation acci-
dents, but were very interested in the issue
of track worker deaths right now, he said.
A2007 report by the U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics found that between 1993 and
2002 a total of 460 railroad workers died on
the job, 132 of them were pedestrian work-
ers struck by trains and other rail vehicles.
Of all the accidents, 62 involved local pas-
senger trains.
Although freight trains are required to
have forward-facing cameras, there is no
standard practice for subway trains, Weiss
said.
Meanwhile, with no indication that the
striking BART workers would be back on
the job Monday, the region was preparing
for another day of gridlock on freeways and
bridges clogged with commuters who would
ordinarily be traveling by train. BART, the
nations fth-largest commuter rail system,
has an average weekday ridership of
400,000.
BART spokeswoman Alicia Trost said
Sunday that transit ofcials and labor lead-
ers have been in contact over the weekend,
but the two sides did not have any plans to
return to the bargaining table.
BART presented what it called its last and
nal offer to its unions a week ago but is
open to restarting the negotiations if that is
what the federal mediator overseeing the
process wants, Trost said. The systems
directors plan to hold a special closed meet-
ing on Monday, she said.
The tragedy has redoubled everyones
commitment to a quick resolution so we can
move forward in a spirit of cooperation to
provide service to the Bay Area, she said.
Amalgamated Transit Union local presi-
dent Antonette Bryant said over the week-
end that she would take BARTs nal con-
tract before members for a vote this week,
but expects it will be rejected.

Little really didnt have a clue since he
was still a teenager.
The pilot then asked Little if he was
interested in a job at Capital and told him
an interview could be arranged.
Little said yes and the pilot told him
to show up at a certain time in a few days
at National Airport.
Ill be there early, Little remembers
telling the pilot.
He showed up 30 minutes early to the
interview and landed the job in 1949. To
this day, Little still likes to show up
early for work or any occasion really.
Hes been late to work maybe twice in the
last 20 years, he told the Daily Journal.
His first full-time employer Capital,
however, merged with United Airlines in
1961, making it the largest airline in the
country.
The airline then adopted its Ocean to
Ocean campaign since it had previously
only served the West Coast and Midwest.
Soon after the merger, United courted
Little to come to San Francisco to work
in its print shop. After coaxing his wife
to make the move, the couple uprooted
and landed in San Mateo, where they
raised two children and still live.
Little is likely the air carriers
longest-tenured employee as only one
other in the company has at least 60
years with United, San Mateo Countys
largest employer even after its major
struggles the past decade.
Little became a master printer with the
company, in charge of printing all kinds
of forms, getting his hands wet with ink
and learning how to operate all types of
machines from negative makers to
halftone printers.
There were no computers back then,
he said.
United conducted an internal audit a few
years ago and followed us around, Little
said.
When they follow you around, you
know something is up, he said.
The company ended up closing its San
Francisco printing facility in 2011 but
Little did not retire, instead finding a job
in the companys charitable giving divi-
sion after working for 62 years in the
print shop.
Little is 81 now and has
no plans to retire and his
wife still works too.
He shows up to work every
day at the companys
Technical Operations
Maintenance Office at San Francisco
International Airport.
The building isnt as bustling as it once
was, however, as Uniteds workforce locally
has dwindled from about 13,000 a decade
ago to about 9,000 today.
The hallways at United were like walking
in San Francisco the day before Christmas,
you had to get out of the way, he said.
These days, his job includes fundraising
for the multiple charities United supports
such as the March of Dimes. He also helps
put together events for the company.
His current boss Cheryl Martin, howev-
er, just retired Thursday, Oct. 17 after
working at United for 35 years.
Little doesnt want to retire, in part,
because he has seen a number of old
friends retire and then decline in health
soon after.
Ive met some old friends in the park
and they didnt recognize me and barely
spoke, he said. I dont want to end up
like that.
The company has had its ups and downs
but Little intends to stay with United as
long as it keeps him, after all he traveled
from one ocean to another to work for the
storied airline.

This process as would be expected
was slow. Travel from Monterey to
San Francisco could sometimes take
two weeks or it could take only a
couple of days.
Many explorations over the early
years took place and each one
revealed a bit of knowledge about
the little explored West Coast of
America. In 1542, Juan Rodriguez
Cabrillo sailed up the coast and
reached a point north of San
Francisco. In 1578, Sir Francis
Drake landed in Nova Alba (Point
Reyes) to replenish his food and
water and explore a little of Marin
County. In 1602, Sebastian
Vizcaino re-explored the coast to
Oregon trying to find favorable har-
bors in which the Spanish could land
to replenish their water and food.
The Farallon Islands, 20 miles to the
west of San Francisco, were recog-
nized but one failed to see the
Golden Gate passage due to the fog
or the mountains on the east side of the
Bay. The ships naturally avoided pass-
ing on the east side of the Farallons
because the captains feared sinking
their boat on unseen rocks. It was not
until August 1775 that Lt. Juan Manuel
Ayala, in command of the ship San
Carlos, made the rst entrance through
the Golden Gate. Vizcaino, however,
did see and chart the bay at Monterey
and recommended it as a perfect site for
a Spanish settlement. This advice was
ignored until 1769 when Portola was
sent to help nd places to put a pre-
sidio and mission.

Darold Fredricks appears in the
Monday edition of the Daily Journal.

HISTORY
definitely plays into his platform
of having fully-staffed city depart-
ments, particularly as the city grows.
He understands why the city browned
out the engine as a cost-savings
measure but said cutting down to the
bare minimum is concerning when the
neighborhoods around downtown
tend to be more diverse in race and
income. He doesnt want to see them
served differently than other neigh-
borhoods and said, regardless, sec-
onds do matter when responding to a
quick-moving fire like the one
Thursday and a July 7 blaze at the
Hallmark House apartments.
Candidate Ernie Schmidt said he
also understands the browning out
but, if elected, would like to see it put
back on line.
I think there are other ways to save
our dollars, he said.
But the remaining candidates
some of whom are incumbents who
voted for the browning out and called
it a hard decision say the four-per-
son truck at the station is currently
satisfactory for first responses, par-
ticularly with the addition of a rescue
squad for medical calls. As the city
grows, fire service will have to
address a higher concentration of peo-
ple but for the time being the public
is in good hands, said candidate Diane
Howard.
Howard and many of her fellow can-
didates also said the fire station con-
figuration is a separate matter than
the recent apartment fires.
In fact,
Councilman John
Seybert said, the
newer construction
downtown is quite
different than the
old structures like
those that burned
so the area is very
safe from a fire per-
spective.
The Terrace
Apartments were
built before 1989
so were not required
to have sprinklers,
said Fire Marshal
Jim Palisi.
The same was
true of the
Hallmark House,
he said.
The city can
encourage building
owners to install
them but the fire
code does not allow
a retroactive man-
date and the enor-
mous cost does lit-
tle to encourage the
renovation. Perhaps a federal grant or
some other type of sponsorship could
help offset the costs, the candidates
suggested.
I dont know what the answer is but
it should be brought to the table,
Schmidt said.
Rankin echoed the sentiment that a
solution, although currently unidenti-
fied, is out there.
The city might consider a survey of
the grandfathered buildings to gain an
idea of how many dont have sprin-
klers and whether it could afford to
help incentivize
retrofits, Han said.
Without some
financial help, the
owners will likely
pass on the costs
to tenants or not
make changes at
all, Han, Schmidt
and Councilman
Jeff Gee said.
Seybert, whose
b a c k g r o u n d
includes work as a
volunteer firefight-
er, fire alarm sys-
tem designer and
sprinkler contrac-
tor, said the chal-
lenges in the recent
fire went beyond
simply the pres-
ence of sprinklers.
Its the whole
gamut of how
things are built
now, he said.
The goal of the
fire code is not to
protect the pretty
buildings but to
protect the people
inside, he said, adding that the fire
alarm system did just that give the
residents time to get out.
Rankin said a goal should also be
fire stations equipped to protect struc-
tures from spreading the fire, too.
As big a concern as fire sprinklers
in old buildings is their ability to
withstand a big earthquake, Gee said.

There Is
New Hope!
A Health Center
Dedicated to
Severe Disc
Conditions
If you suffer with lower back,
neck, or leg pain, we invite you to try
our non surgical solution. The pain
from degenerating and bulging discs
affects everything that you do, from
work, to play, and ultimately your
quality of life. At Crossroads Heath
Center, we have created an entire
facility dedicated to patients with
severe disc conditions that have not
responded to traditional care. Our
revolutionary, Crossroads Method,
provides a very high success rate to
patients with serious back, neck,
leg and arm pain even when all
else has failed. This FDA cleared;
non-surgical treatment allows us
to rehabilitate your herniated or
degenerative disc(s) by reversing
internal pressure and enabling your
disc(s) to heal from the inside out.
We succeed where other treatments
have failed by removing the
pressure that is causing pain to
your disc(s) and nerves without
drugs, injections, invasive surgery or
harmful side effects.
The only ofce to have
The Crossroads Method
This method which includes
computerized true disc
decompression is considered by
many doctors to be the most
advanced and successful non-
invasive treatment of serious back,
neck, leg or arm pain.
This procedure allows for a much
higher success rate by increasing
hydration of your discs, fexibility,
relaxation of muscles and ligaments
along with improving muscle and
core strength, balance and posture.
This results in a more effective and
lasting solution to your pain. There
are no side effects and no recovery
time is required.
This gentle and relaxing treatment
has proven to be effective even
when drugs, epidurals, traditional
chiropractic, physical therapy
and surgery have failed The
Crossroads Method has shown
dramatic results.
Patient Testimonials
During the 1 1/2 years of having
constant daily lower back pain and
spasms, I took anti-infammatory
and pain medication, but nothing
helped lessen the pain. When an MRI
showed that I had two degenerative
discs, I went through a series of
lumbar epidural injections without
success. The only thing that made
the pain and spasms go away was
Spinal Decompression treatments at
Crossroads Health Center. Four years
later and I am still pain-free!
Lisa K. San Jose, 2013
I came in to Dr. Ferrigno for
lower back pain. Its a problem
that I have had for about 10 to
15 years. I tried everything from
physiatrists, medical doctors,
doctor of osteopathy, chiropractic,
acupuncture, pain medications,
epidural injections and everything
was a temporary fx. I decided to try
the DRX therapy and Ive gone from
an average pain level between 5/7
out of 10 all the way down to a pain
level of 1 to 2 pretty consistently.
The DRX was defnitely the only
thing that has made me feel better.
Brian G. Los Gatos CA. 2013
How Will I Know If I Qualify
for Treatment?
When you come in for a
complimentary consultation we will
ask a series of questions and perform
a comprehensive examination to
determine exactly where the pain is
coming from. If x-rays are necessary,
we can take them in our offce. Once
we determine the cause of your
pain we will let you know if we can
help you and if you qualify for our
treatment protocol.
If we dont feel like we can help we
will refer you to someone who can.
